Of course, the more pain 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: we are all experiencing from the high pis and price 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: of gas, the more benefit there is for those who 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: can access electric vehicles. That's why we're hoping you and 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: your colleagues might reconsider opposing the reduction of EV upfront 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: prices with tax credits.

I'm the scenes information on breaking news and 15 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a special 16 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: edition of The Sean Hannity Show, America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, 17 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: Day number three, forty two. Breaking News. Now here's Sean Hannity. 18 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: All right, we have some breaking news. No surprise on 19 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: this at all. They didn't even put up a defense. 20 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon a verdict literally in like an hour, who 21 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: was charged with contempt of Congress because he wouldn't testify 22 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: before the January sixth Committee and respond to the subpoena, 23 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: and they never put on a defense. It's the first 24 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: time there has been a conviction on this contempt of 25 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Congress charge since nineteen v and D four. In that 26 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: case it was G. Gordon Liddy. Well, I got to 27 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: know G. Gordon Liddy Pursley. He's such a fascinating guy. Anyway, 28 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna I'm sure they will make an appeal. 29 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they felt that there was no way, 30 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: there was no defense that they were going to put up. 31 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: I think the ultimate goal is probably to challenge the 32 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: larger issue of whether a former president in fact executive 33 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: privilege would still hold for somebody that used to work 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: for the president. I think on a legal track, it's 35 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: a little difficult. Here's what's interesting to me, though, And 36 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon and I have had a relationship on and 37 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: off for years, and I've always admire Steve Bannon. Sometimes 38 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: he goes a little off the rails for me. But 39 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure I go off the rails for 40 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: him sometimes, But I really kind of admire his stance here, 41 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: and this is why he had every opportunity, and many 42 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: people did this with the January sixth Committee. If you 43 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: get a subpoena, you can go in and you could 44 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: plead the Fifth the entire time, even if you're not 45 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: guilty of anything. You could just show up plead the 46 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: Fifth one hundred and seventy times because you don't want 47 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: to testify, and you can walk out free as a bird, 48 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: and they can't charge you with contempt to Congress. He 49 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: knew that option was available to him. That would be 50 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: the road of least resistance. He didn't have to give 51 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: them any information that he didn't want to if he 52 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: believed in principle. Leading up to the trial, Bannon vowed 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: to fight against the misdemeanor from hell or go medieval 54 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: on these people, etcetera, etc. Anyway, they ultimately opted not 55 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to put on any defense at all whatsoever. The charges 56 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: guilty on two charges unentail between thirty days and a 57 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: year in prison. That means he'll get the year in prison, 58 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: probably consecutively. If I had to guess, that would mean 59 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: nine months in prison. So he did his all of 60 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: this willingly, and so there's always a sense, certain sense 61 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: of admiration I have for people to take a stand 62 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: on principle, and that's what Bannon did here. And it 63 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: takes a lot of courage to be willing to give 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: up your freedom on a principle that you believe in. 65 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: And anyway, it comes just days after the district judge 66 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: in this case, Carl convened a jury selection. It was 67 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: not much really to talk about here. Throughout the trial, 68 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: defense lawyers for Bannon had been frustrated by the judge 69 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: oversea in the case, the judge scuttled attempts to deploy 70 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: in an advice of Council defense strategy in which Bannon 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: would argue he was shielded from liability for defying the 72 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: subpoena because he was following the advice of his lawyers. 73 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: That was shot down his attempts to postpone the trial 74 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: due to concerns of the January sixth committee televised hearings 75 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: could poison the jury pool. Judge also blocked Bannon's team 76 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: for calling on certain prominent witnesses like Nancy Pelosi, So 77 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: he kind of was shut down on every Avenue. They 78 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: wanted to put up a defense, so they decided in 79 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: the end, David who's been on this program many times 80 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: as an attorney, and I'm sure the strategy is going 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: to be to make an appeal of some kind. But 82 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: they but they did this going in knowing in fact 83 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: that this was going to happen. I think another more 84 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: perhaps even more interesting case is going to be with 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: Peter Navarro, um who was held in contempt. Now that 86 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, you know, they made a decision, 87 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: for example, not to go against Mark Meadows, Mark Meadows 88 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: that handed over some nine thousand documents, or or Dan 89 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: Scovino was on the staff of the president. But pet 90 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: Peter Navarro and the judge in the case was pretty interesting, 91 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: and it was an Obama point. A judge said, Um, 92 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: did you really have to humiliate him and arrest him 93 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: in public? Didn't? I didn't exactly say it this way, Um, 94 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: you just on something like a misdemeanor, because we're really 95 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: talking about a misdemean here, this is not a felony. 96 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: On a misdemeanor, you couldn't just ask the guy to 97 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: report because it shows an aggressiveness that is so over 98 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: the top, just like you know, Paul Manafort a process crime, Rogerstone, 99 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: process crimes, and then you get pre dawn raids, guns drawn, 100 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: fake news, CNN cameras. In the case of Roger Stone, 101 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: I talked to Manafort. He was on this very program 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: talking about it his time that he spent in prison. 103 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: They put him in solitary confinement for nine months and 104 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: regularly offered him an opportunity to get out if he 105 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: would say what they wanted him to say. In other words, 106 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: tell us what we want to hear, and we'll let 107 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: you out today. Now, that is a pretty strong incentive 108 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: for people to say whatever they want to hear. You know, 109 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: it brings us. I use the extreme example of Sammy 110 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: the Bull, Gravano, guy that had killed what nineteen twenty people, 111 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: some astronomical number, and he it up in the witness 112 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: protection program because he was willing to testify against mob 113 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: boss John Gotti Senior. And so here's a guy that 114 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: killed all these people. Now you get, you know, a 115 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: house in Arizona and a witness protection program and a 116 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: new identity and a new life, and you don't have 117 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: to pay the price for nineteen murders. If a guy's 118 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: a murderer. He's probably not honest and truthful. He's probably 119 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: a liar and probably willing to say whatever they needed 120 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: him to say to get the guy that they really 121 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: wanted to get in that case was John Gotti, who 122 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: died in jail. So I don't like the whole system 123 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: where they offer a benefit. Anyway, Mataport's writing it in 124 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: his book. That book's going to get very interesting. And 125 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: I remember asking when he was on the show. I 126 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: remember asking him, you know, how did the prisoners treat you? 127 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: And they said they couldn't have been nicer to me. 128 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: They all knew who I was, and they they all 129 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: knew that I was being offered a deal. You know, 130 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: everybody's pretty smart and pretty savvy in prison. They know 131 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: they know the system, and they know that I was 132 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: there and I could get out, but I wouldn't say 133 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: things that weren't true. And in that sense as a 134 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: certain code in prison, Wow, that's you know, you're a 135 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: stand up guy. Now, if you go to prison and 136 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: you're deemed as a rat, things usually don't go well 137 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: for prison. Prisoners that are deemed rats or prisoners that 138 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: hurt children in particular, So understand Bannon What he did 139 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: here was he stood on his principle, knowing the consequences, 140 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: and he had a very easy out if he wanted it. 141 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: He chose not to take it. You got to give 142 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: the guy credit for standing on his principle here, whether 143 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: you agree with Bannon, don't agree with Bannon, whatever he 144 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: did or didn't do, I have no idea during this, 145 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: this you know, whole January sixth thing. They played his 146 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: tapes last night. I would imagine them playing tapes last 147 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: night while the jury is about to decide in his case. 148 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Probably would be pretty good grounds for an appeal. But 149 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: David Schoen is a smart attorney. I'm sure that he's gonna, 150 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, look down every venue. Later on, Lee Zelden 151 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: is gonna join us. Now, I gotta tell you something. 152 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: This broke her in Hannity last night on the TV show, 153 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: and Lee Zelden was up near Rochester, New York last night. 154 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: He is, and it's so funny because I tweeted out 155 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: a new ad that he had done. We'll play some 156 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: of it later and it's about crime, and he mentions 157 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: jose Alba, the Bodego worker who was charged with second 158 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: degree murder. When this guy came behind the counter and 159 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: attacked him and pushed him into a wall and pushed 160 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: him down on the ground and was bigger and stronger 161 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: and younger, and he got up and in self defense 162 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: defended himself. The guy's girlfriend out a knife. Anyway, so 163 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: you know why he got charged with second degree murder. 164 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the public outcry caused the 165 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: DA Bragg to pull back on it. Either way, it 166 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: was the right decision. And I'm looking at photos this guy, 167 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people call it a tiger claw, 168 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: lady claw, whatever you want to call it. But it's 169 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: a knifelike object. And there's a one picture in particular 170 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: we'll show you on TV tonight. I mean, they could 171 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: he could have gotten killed last night. Now it turns 172 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: out that in New York, now think about this, This guy, 173 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: Jose Alba, the bedego worker, gets sent to Riker's Island, 174 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: one of the worst prisons in the country, gets charged 175 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: with second degree murder in a clear self defense case. 176 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: Here's a guy trying to assassinate a public figure, a 177 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: congressman who's now a gubernatorial candidate. He's running for governor, 178 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: and he was not charged with attempted murder of a 179 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: public official or attempting to kill a public official. He's 180 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: not charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He was 181 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: charged with second degree attempted a halt. Yeah, that was 182 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: more than an attempt It was an assault anyway. Then 183 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: it was second degree attempted assault, not even first degree 184 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: attempted assault. And it gets worse because now the would 185 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: be assassin. When you look at the video, the picture 186 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: I have in front of me, this guy has this 187 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: weapon in his right hand and Leez Elden grabs his wrist, 188 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: which actually was a good move. I wish you would 189 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: have used his left hand as a martial artist and 190 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: protected his body a little more. But that's neither here 191 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: nor there, because his heart is wide open and his 192 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: carotid artery is wide open. If this guy is able 193 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: to thrust this thing into his neck or his heart, 194 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: so this could have murdered les Eldon and anyway. But 195 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: now the guy is a free as a bird because 196 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: he was released on his own recognisance. Can you believe that? 197 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: Now we also find out that the governor of New 198 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: York HUCL, the one that replaced Andrew Cuomo, sent out 199 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: an email about all of Lee's Eldon's campaign events. The 200 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: email you talked about the dates, the times, the events, 201 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: where they were when their scheduled to begin on Thursday, 202 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: July twenty first, big Lie Lee is that's supposed to 203 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: be funny anyway, His entourage of extremist kickoff as statewide 204 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: mega Republican bus tour. They running the same campaign mcculiff 205 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: ran down in the Commonwealth of Virginia didn't work out 206 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: well for them, which will make stops across the state 207 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: pedaling dangerous lies, misinformation and is far right agenda and 208 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: that stops. During the tours. Eldon will be joined by 209 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: anti abortion advocates NRA enthusiasts. I mean, it's just a 210 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: typical Democratic campaign. But the latest poll that I saw 211 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: was like within the margin of error. I mean to 212 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: think that we could have won the New Jersey gubernatorial race. 213 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: We paid more attention to it. I didn't think they 214 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: had a shot. If I would have known ahead of time, 215 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: we would have really dug in deep and gone hard 216 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: there and I were Bret not doing it. So that 217 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: means to I think Lee Zelden can win this race. 218 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: I do, and now even today I am told Hokel 219 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: and her little minions are still doxing Lee Zelden after 220 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: what really could accurately be described as an assassination attempt. 221 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty unbelievable, So it's it's it's pretty 222 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: bizarre that they wouldn't even give it a day off. 223 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: Here Politico has an article out the New York GOP 224 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: chairperson who is accusing Kathy Hokell of fanning the flames 225 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: before the attempt on his life. Congressman Zelden and all 226 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: the attendees are safe, but this could have ended much worse. 227 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: The chairperson is Nick Langworthy, and he said it's not 228 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: a coincident to just hours earlier, Kathy Hokel fanned the 229 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: flames of hate by directing her supporters to his rally schedule. 230 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Is this unacceptable conduct for anyone, let alone a sitting governor. 231 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: It is a fairly common pract just that you have 232 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: people you know follow campaigns, but they usually do it 233 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: more discreetly because they want to tape people in case 234 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: they say something that they can use in a campaign ad. 235 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: But apparently, even today, Kathy Hokel has these these big 236 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: vans following Lee's eldon wherever he goes, just like you know, 237 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the doxing of Supreme Court justices. Anyway, eight hundred nine 238 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: one shown on this Friday. We got a lot of news, 239 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: not a lot of good economic news. But the way 240 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: do you hear what the Democrats are trying to spin 241 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: out of They think we're gonna have by definition or 242 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: recession and they're scared to death. Of course, is not 243 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: equal justice under the law. We've been saying it regularly 244 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: now forever, and there's no equal application of our laws. 245 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: I remember a guy, Linda, correct me if I'm wrong. 246 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: I remember a man by the name of Eric Holder. 247 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: Wasn't he held in contempt of Congress because he wouldn't 248 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: do the same thing Baton is accused of here? I remember, 249 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: I think I heard of that guy once, it twice. 250 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: I was just listening David Shown, who's spent on his 251 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: program many times. He's a really good attorney friend of 252 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: the program. He made a good point about separation of powers, 253 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: because what the what the prosecution apparently argue today in court, 254 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: and I didn't know until he said so, is as 255 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: it relates to executive privilege, that it is Congress that 256 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: will decide and not the courts that will decide because 257 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: remember you have separation of powers, coequal branches of government, etc. Etc. 258 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: And the idea that if a president invokes it and 259 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: you want to question it, then it would be up 260 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: to the courts, not up to Congress. And they they 261 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: actually argued that Congress has the ability to make that decision. 262 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: You know, when you consider that Eric Holder was held 263 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: in contempt to Congress and nothing happens to them, it's 264 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: just the latest greatest example of the system of justice 265 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: that we have, and that is we don't have equal 266 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: justice under the law. We don't have equal application of 267 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: our laws. And you know, and this is the thing 268 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: that's so interesting to me about this case. Bannon clearly 269 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: was thinking was playing chess the whole time, knowing that 270 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: he was willing to accept consequences at the end of 271 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: the process. Whenever we get to the end of the process, 272 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: because the process isn't over today. Remember they didn't even 273 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: put on a defense here, so this this was not 274 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: a verdict that was unexpected, and they let this play 275 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: out right in the middle of the hearings and in 276 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: many ways, the January sixth Committee last night, even playing Bannon, 277 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: you can make an argument that it could obtained the 278 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: jury pool, and I think of a very effective one. 279 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: But I think that the bigger constitutional issue was the 280 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: one that David Schillen just spelled out, which is, you know, 281 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: if we have separation of powers and one invokes executive privilege, 282 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: as Bannon did in this particular case, that it would 283 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: not be Congress's decision whether or not it can be 284 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: invoked or not. That would be up to the courts 285 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: to decide. And I think that that's the case that 286 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court should ultimately decide somewhere down the road. 287 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, Always concerned for our country, always honoring our 288 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: servicemen and servicewomen, and standing up for liberty every day. 289 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: All right, twenty five nowntil the top of the hour, 290 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one, Sean, if you want to be 291 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: a part of the program here. Um. You know, what's 292 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: interesting is this with this Bannon verdict today, which we 293 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: all knew was coming, because they didn't put on a defense, 294 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: and I think they didn't do so purposely, especially based 295 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: on David Shone's comments who's Bannon's attorney when they came 296 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: out today. But you know, when the Democrats, when Eric 297 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: Holder was held in contempt and when that contempt vote happened, 298 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: they walked out. You might remember they called it, what 299 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: did they call it, Linda skunktivity or something skunctivity? Okay, 300 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: do you know what that means? Stinks to high heaven. 301 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: I'm assuming aber and said it was evil to use 302 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: such a serious process for political aims and speed. But 303 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: by the way, the same gay when they go low 304 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: kick them another one advocating violence anyway, And Nancy Pelosi 305 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: et et just people forget. Don't we have a tape 306 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: of this? I think ye, we do. We did not 307 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: want to participate in something that we believe to have 308 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: some kind of smell to it, and we are declared 309 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: by walking out that we're not participating in this conectivity. 310 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: We're here to say today that we believe that there's 311 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: something evil about using the procedure of the House, especially 312 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: something as severe as holding someone in contempt of Congress 313 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: to further political aims. This is not about race, it 314 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: is not about caucus. It is, however, about confrontation over cooperation, 315 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: about confrontation over consensus. And it is the pattern that 316 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: this Republican leadership has followed since they first were sworn 317 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: into power. All right, so this you can see double stands. 318 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: This is not happened since G. Gordon Lydy in nineteen 319 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: seventy four. I think, knowing David shown as well as 320 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: we Normalanda, when do you say that this was all 321 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: by design? They didn't put on a defense because they 322 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: were stymiede every which way they planned on going. So 323 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: they figured, all right, we'll just give up here and 324 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: we'll go to the next court. That's what I figured 325 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: they did. Yeah, I think that, you know, Sean has 326 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: a lot of experience, especially as going through the trial 327 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: or for the president and appearing before Congress and giving testimony, 328 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: and I think he saw the writing on the wall. 329 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't think this is the end of the story, 330 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: but I do believe that this was definitely strategic, Yeah, 331 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: as it was for Bannon two and knowing the risks 332 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: by the way, I mean, which a lot of people make. 333 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: On the economics side. We've got news out today and 334 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: we keep looking to the Atlanta Fed. They have a 335 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: pretty good track record of being dead on accurate. They 336 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: have their new GDP now model. Their estimate for real 337 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: GDP growth in the second quarter is minus one point 338 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: six percent, which would be on top of last quarters 339 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: minus one point six percent. Now here's what's interesting though, 340 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Instead of with this expectation of GDP numbers next week, 341 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: Bidenish now are desperately trying to change the definition of 342 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: what a recession is. Instead, they want business reporters to 343 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: take a holistic look at the data. None of it's good, 344 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: all right, So Biden's White House economists they're signaling that 345 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: even they expect next week, next week's GDP economic growth 346 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: to be in the negative area, which would mean that 347 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: means we are officially in a recession. I mean, the 348 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: bottom line is, if you're an economist, you look for 349 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP, and by definition, 350 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: that is a recession. The White House Council of Economic Advisors, however, 351 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: is opposing this definition now in a new blogy, just 352 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: like they said, oh, inflation's transitory, not so transitory. So 353 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to even live up to or own 354 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: the reality that their policies have caused a recession. We 355 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: are in a recession. Have we come into zero point 356 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: one percent growth? I don't care what that says. We're 357 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: still in a session and people better act accordingly. But 358 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: now they want to change the definition, and they're doing 359 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: damage control ahead of what they expect to be bad numbers, 360 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: and they're trying to fight it off, and they're trying 361 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: to change the definition of what a recession is. And 362 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: they're asking the media mob to take a holistic look 363 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: at the data and take into account the labor market, 364 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 1: consumer and business spending. Okay, but this is the problem 365 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: industrial production and earnings. They're taking all of that into account, 366 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: and the bottom line is the numbers speak for themselves. 367 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: Washington Post has a point piece out today the labor market, 368 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: until now a pillar of economic resilience, is now beginning 369 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: to show cracks in it. This is what Laurence Summers 370 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: had been saying, and he worked under Obama, that we 371 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: were gonna have a dramatic increase in unemployment and it's 372 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: going to be necessary if you want to ward off 373 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: the record high inflation caused by Biden's economic and energy policies. 374 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: There was another article Vice put it out dot com 375 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: about the rich rush to offload their luxury properties. After 376 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: a decade of feeling invincible, the tech industry is now 377 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: suddenly facing something new. Financial insecurity valuations are down, layoffs 378 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: are down, start up funding. I'm like, this is all 379 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: stuff that I've been telling you about. Then the article 380 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: goes in to say, there are signs that the housing 381 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: market may have peaked. Asking prices have slipped ever so slightly. 382 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: Homebuilders are now starting to work on fewer home Mortgage 383 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: demand is the lowest it's been since two thousand. What 384 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: have I told you is the next thing to be hit? Linda? 385 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: How far ahead of the curver we on all of this? 386 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: I said the house. I mean it's really how many 387 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: months before the recession was I tell I was telling 388 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: people you might want to reduce you started at Christmas? 389 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: I mean we started over a year ago. I mean, 390 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: you were just telling people the writing is on the wall. 391 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: It's not going to be a good year. Please. You know, 392 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 1: watch what you're doing with your funds. Talk to your 393 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: financial advisors and keep your money. Yeah, and reduced the 394 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: that you have in the stock market, reduce your vulnerability 395 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: to the stock market. And by the way, for some people, 396 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: including myself, that doesn't mean you take out your retirement money. 397 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: It means or your I array or your four oh 398 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: one K. But if you have other money, you know 399 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: you're reducing your exposure. And by the way with now 400 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: treasuries are going up to three percent for six months 401 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: or a year. You know, at least there's some money 402 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: that you can get back, which we haven't been able 403 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: to get for years. So there is a place to 404 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: park your money. That's not awful. But I'm telling you 405 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: what's going to happen when the housing market gets it. 406 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: It's it's already happening, and that is new home construction 407 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: will come to a screeching halt because there will be 408 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: no demand with higher interest rates for new home construction, 409 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: and that then will impact the sale of pre existing homes. 410 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna want to give up their two point eight 411 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: percent thirty year mortgage or three point eight percent thirty 412 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: year mortgage in exchange for a seven or eight percent 413 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: thirty year mortgage because that's thousands of dollars more per 414 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: month that they'd be paying. So that's going to come 415 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: to a screeching halt. And the next thing that's going 416 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: to happen is home valuations are going to drop precipitously. 417 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: That's why I keep saying go to American Financing dot 418 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: net because right now, probably your home is valued at 419 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: the top of the market or close to it, and 420 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: it's about to come down, and it might be the 421 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: perfect time to do debt consolidation, refinancing your mortgage, getting 422 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: a lower rate, consolidating your debt, all of these things. 423 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: Business Insider Another side, they're talking about the fact that 424 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: the US housing a market quote is about to enter 425 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: a deep freeze. How many weeks have I been saying this. 426 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: I've been telling everybody I know for like months, this 427 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: is coming, you know. I've been telling my kids. I've 428 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: been sending them articles, telling them all this. My son 429 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: writes me back today, goes man, this article is exactly 430 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: what you sent me, which said was going to happen 431 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: eight months ago. I said, yep. Anyway, Now, finally kids listen. 432 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: Takes a long time. They got to get really old 433 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: for them to start listening. Anyway, Data showing a drop 434 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: in existing home sales to a two year low. We 435 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: have the lowest rate of loan applications since two thousand. 436 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Right now, I mean, that's how bad that is. The 437 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: National Association of Realtors reporting seasonally adjusted sales hit a 438 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: rate of five point one two million last month, the 439 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: lowest since June to twenty twenty. At the height of 440 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: COVID and well below what their expectations were and make sense. 441 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: With higher mortgage rates complating with higher home prices, those 442 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: home prices are going to come down. Your values will 443 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: come down, by the way, not a reason to panic 444 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: unless you know you were planning on moving anytime soon. 445 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: You might still have time to get that home sold 446 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: at a decent price. While mortgage rates, yeah, are creeping up, 447 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: they're not where they're going to be. So there might 448 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: be some demand out there, but certainly it's not going 449 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: to be like it was last year, where if you 450 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: put a home on the mark in Florida, there were 451 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: twenty people at your door within an hour and you had, 452 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: you know, eighteen of them offering above asking price. That's 453 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: all dead, that's done. Pelosi says her husband never made 454 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: stock purchases based on information she gave him. You know 455 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: what that ends that Why would we even why would 456 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: we bother her to investigate? No need, we don't need 457 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: to invest Trust. Just trust Nancy. Believe everything. Nancy says. 458 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: Oh one other thing on and this was in the 459 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: New York Post today. High prices rate signs of housing 460 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: slow down existing home sales compared to last year. Fifteen 461 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: percent down, average selling price up, but that's going to 462 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: go down as interest rates continue to go up. Housing. 463 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: This was on Foxnews dot com. The Fed lacks the 464 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: necessary tools to address the root housing inflation problem. They 465 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: quote Steve Moore in this article in what is a 466 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: pretty alarming development. Shelter costs, which account for one third 467 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: of the consumer price index, they sped up again in June, 468 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: climbing zero point six percent. That's an eighteen year high 469 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: that was first set in May. On an annual basis, 470 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: shelter costs of client five point six percent, that's the 471 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: fastest since February of nineteen ninety one. Rent costs are 472 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: surging also zero point eight percent. That's the largest monthly 473 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: increase since April of eighty six. And now many people 474 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: will be in the rental market that would otherwise maybe 475 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: be out buying their first home, or maybe moving into 476 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: a newer home, a bigger home, maybe a smaller home, downsizing, upsizing, 477 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be, whatever point in your life 478 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: you have to be that you happen to be at. 479 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: That's a big development because higher housing costs, whether it's 480 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: rent or mortgage, most directly and acutely impacts household budgets. 481 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: Another data point measures how much homeowners would pay in 482 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: the equivalent of rent had they not bought their home. 483 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: That also jumps zero point seven percent. So the housing 484 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: market exploded during the early days of COVID and buoyed 485 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: by record low interest rates, and the same time, American 486 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: homeowners were more flush with cash from the government. So 487 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: all you know, these are the chickens coming home roost. 488 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: So you know my advice for everybody, and I just 489 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: have I don't know. I think I was traumatized in 490 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: my life because I can't get it out of my brain, 491 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: the thinking that I developed when I live paycheck to paycheck. 492 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: You know, That's why I made such a big deal 493 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: over the cost of a chicken the other day that 494 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: my sister, who happened to have sold her home and 495 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: her new home isn't ready anyways, been living with me, 496 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: and she was very nicely. She decided to cook dinner 497 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: one night. She makes a chicken. I'm looking at the 498 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: chicken price uncooked eighteat when I was no twenty bucks 499 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: And at that same store they used to sell rotisserie 500 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: chicken that was really good for six bucks for a 501 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: whole chicken and I used to I know because I 502 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: used to buy it and eat it. I'm a paleo guy. 503 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: And then, of course now we continue with the green 504 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: New Deal nonsense. And then of course our slogan of 505 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: the week by by mayor pothole peat, which is, of course, 506 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: the more pain we are all experiencing from the price 507 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: of gas, the more benefit there is for those And 508 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: then we're transitioning. We're in the middle of a transition 509 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: to renewables that they don't even have enough renewables renewables 510 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: of what wind solar, none of the we don't have 511 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: the technology, we don't have the ability to store most 512 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: of that energy. What happens when it stops being windy 513 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: for months and months because of climate change? What happens 514 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: if the sun doesn't shine for a few months or 515 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: a few weeks. What's going to happen. Then, the bottom 516 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: line is they're not making any transition to anything in 517 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: the near future, defined as the next decade to two decades. 518 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: So they can work on it all they want, but 519 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: it's not the reality. And in the mean time, they 520 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: have cut off the smart play, which is in the 521 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: short term be the masters of our own destiny, not 522 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: rely on countries that hate US, like Russia or ran Venezuela, 523 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and OPEC countries, and produce it cheaper, faster, 524 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: and cleaner here in America. And if we were really, 525 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: really smart and we really really wanted to help Americans 526 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: get rich and help make America rich again, we would 527 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: sell all of that natural gas, and we have hundreds 528 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: of years of supplies that are known right now, and 529 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: we would supply Western Europe. It would bankrupt Putin and Russia. 530 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: And it would be in our best national security interests 531 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: to have our allies in Europe get their energy supplies 532 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: from US, and it would be more stable for all 533 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: of them. It's just basic, simple common sense, which isn't 534 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: so common anymore. That's why Joe is at a thirty 535 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: one percent approval rating, and that's why things are not 536 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: going to get better. You know, it's it's it's all 537 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: of this is preventable. This is the sad thing to me. 538 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: We didn't have, we didn't have to give up energy independence. 539 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: They did it on purpose. Joe, promise no more. I'm 540 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna eliminate it, get rid of it. Look at my eyes, kid, 541 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: No more you're not even eliminating it. You're just importing 542 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: it from people that hate us. You just stop producing 543 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: it domestically. Everybody says all week the word of the weeks, 544 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: we're transitioning, transition, transitioning, transitioning, transition. We're transitioning into the 545 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: technology that they don't have. They have a big problem 546 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: out in southern and California. They don't know what to 547 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: do with old solar panels because, guess what, they can't 548 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: get rid of them in a way that's environmentally safe. 549 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: What a shocker. They didn't think through that. Indoor mask 550 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: rules expected next week in Los Angeles. Get back to 551 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: the old indoor mask rules. Here we go again. It's 552 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: pretty crazy, all right, when we come back Lee Zelden. 553 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: There was a really an assassination attempt against him last 554 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: night in New York near Rochester. Where do you see 555 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: the video? We'll show you tonight on Hannity. We got 556 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: a copy of the video.
