Speaker 1: All right, news round up in information overload our tolfree.
Speaker 1: Our number is eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: I have been fortunate enough to get a galley copy
Speaker 1: of new King Rich's new book. It is out next Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and it is called Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback. And look,
Speaker 1: I've said this many many times before, is that I
Speaker 1: got to know Newt in nineteen ninety when I was
Speaker 1: a local radio host in Alabama, and then I spent
Speaker 1: four years when he became speaker as a local radio
Speaker 1: host in Atlanta from ninety two to ninety six before
Speaker 1: I went to Fox News in ninety six. And so
Speaker 1: we have been friends, frankly brothers ever since then. And
Speaker 1: I had the honor of him seeing the night that
Speaker 1: he became Speaker of the House, a night of my
Speaker 1: life that I'll never forget, an honor that I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: New was the last speaker to balance the budget. They
Speaker 1: did it, what four or five years in a row,
Speaker 1: and it's not been balanced since. Now he has written
Speaker 1: I think, what is the definitive book on Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and this credible historical comeback and it's called Trump's Triumph
Speaker 1: America's Greatest Comeback. It is available now on Hannity dot com,
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, bookstores as of Tuesday around the country.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you live in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: you can go see our friend newt He's going to
Speaker 1: be doing a book signing at Bookends in on Ridgewood
Speaker 1: Avenue in New Jersey at six o'clock. We'll remind you
Speaker 1: next Tuesday, and you should go out and see him.
Speaker 1: I've been to Bookends for a number of my books,
Speaker 1: and it's such a great bookstore. It's such a great
Speaker 1: place and great people. I know, I kid around about
Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey accents, but that's only because
Speaker 1: I don't live in New York and New Jersey anymore
Speaker 1: and pay high taxes like I used to. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: always an honor and privilege and pleasure to welcome back
Speaker 1: the former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich. Am I
Speaker 1: wrong in my description of you, that you, in your
Speaker 1: heart of hearts, that you are a professor, a historian,
Speaker 1: and real deep down you are You know, you're one
Speaker 1: of the three legs of Conservatism in the modern era,
Speaker 1: Reagan being one, you being two and Trump being three.
Speaker 2: Well, I probably would use the word teacher more than pass.
Speaker 2: It sounds pretty high. But look, I love learning, I
Speaker 2: love sharing what I learned. And you know we've had
Speaker 2: We've had such a long it's all scary. Actually we've
Speaker 2: known each other I think now like thirty five years.
Speaker 1: Wait, why is that scary? That makes me feel bad? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm triggering. I'm triggered by that.
Speaker 2: Triggered by Well, then I take it back.
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm only kidding. Go ahead, No, I'm thrilled.
Speaker 2: We've known each other that long and it's such In fact,
Speaker 2: I was just doing something Malcolmar Kapern a while and
Speaker 2: I said, you know, one of the great advantages that
Speaker 2: you have. We were talking about the people who made
Speaker 2: the modern era, and I cited you and Rush and
Speaker 2: Roger Ailes and said, you know, nobody in the elite
Speaker 2: media realizes the impact that the three of you have had.
Speaker 2: And I talked to the fact that you have this
Speaker 2: unique thirty year plus relationship with Trump, which allows you
Speaker 2: to have honest conversations with him that very very few
Speaker 2: people can have. And you know, you and I have
Speaker 2: been a team trying to get America away from the
Speaker 2: left and back on the track of historic American values
Speaker 2: for a generation now. And I think it's working. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm very optimous. I don't know if you saw the
Speaker 2: I did a newsletter at nishe sixty they pointing out
Speaker 2: that this week we've had three polls, not one, three
Speaker 2: that has said one said, for the first time in
Speaker 2: the history of Rasmussen, fifty percent of the country. Now,
Speaker 2: I believe they're on the right track. And the Sea
Speaker 2: polster over there said he was shocked and he never
Speaker 2: ever in his lifetime fellow would get to fifty and
Speaker 2: now it is.
Speaker 3: And then the first time in twenty nine years.
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? And then our good our good friend
Speaker 2: Matt Towry told me that his poll now indicates the
Speaker 2: Trump's above fifty percent of approval, and.
Speaker 1: The fifth in the Trump and the Towering Pole inside
Speaker 1: our advantage, he's at fifty five percent approval.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Democracy Institute the box insid report and
Speaker 2: they said they asked the question, do you think he's
Speaker 2: helping fix things? He has a fourteen point advantage that
Speaker 2: what he's doing is helping fix things, and all those
Speaker 2: I did a newsletter because have those three polls at
Speaker 2: the same time tells me that the country is resident
Speaker 2: despite every effort of the networks and New York Times,
Speaker 2: in Washington Post and what have you, the country's resonating
Speaker 2: to having an American president who loves the country, who's
Speaker 2: taking tough stands, and who is unendingly energetic.
Speaker 1: You know, really, I use the words, you know, returning
Speaker 1: or restoring constitutional order. I use the words con sequential, transformational.
Speaker 1: I mean for Republicans. I mean, let's take this one big,
Speaker 1: beautiful villa, and it's not perfect, but it does secure
Speaker 1: the border im perpetuity. It will help remove criminal illegals.
Speaker 1: It will lead America towards energy dominance. It will create
Speaker 1: the next generation of weaponry, which we desperately need and
Speaker 1: we've fallen way behind on. There is that gap of
Speaker 1: vulnerability that very similar to what Reagan inherited. It also
Speaker 1: does other transformational things with law and order and crime
Speaker 1: and education in America. But there's nothing that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is doing, including speaking peace in the Middle East and
Speaker 1: in Europe, that is not massive. Everything that is out
Speaker 1: of the box. He is a disruptor. He is an iconoclast.
Speaker 1: I remember once you gave a speech and you said,
Speaker 1: I am a genuine revolutionary, and you were in your
Speaker 1: time and Trump is now in his time, and I
Speaker 1: see a lot of comparisons.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's part of what we resonate so well,
Speaker 2: because he is as you point out earlier with the
Speaker 2: reference to Regae, Me and Trump, we are all moving
Speaker 2: the country away from the nutcake values of the left
Speaker 2: back to the historically invaluable insights of the founding fathers.
Speaker 2: And Trump understood that. And I think we need to
Speaker 2: start talking about the Obama Biden system. Wasn't just Biden.
Speaker 2: We'd had from two thousand and nine on. We've had
Speaker 2: this steady effort to move us to the left, briefly
Speaker 2: interrupted by Trump for four years, and we were in
Speaker 2: real danger of losing America as we've done it. I mean,
Speaker 2: these people, as we now know, we watched the fight
Speaker 2: at Harvard. These people were committed to a sick, I think,
Speaker 2: corrupt and in many ways weird system, and they were
Speaker 2: prepared to impose it on the rest of us if
Speaker 2: they could get away with it. In fact, be part
Speaker 2: of the reason I wrote Trump's Triumph Americans' Greatest Comeback
Speaker 2: is to make the point that this was a victory
Speaker 2: of a man and a movement both. This wasn't just Trump,
Speaker 2: but this was millions of Americans spontaneously thinking, you know,
Speaker 2: I've had enough. I want somebody who has the guts
Speaker 2: and the drive and the smarts to change things, and
Speaker 2: the only guy available is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Explain what you mean by America's greatest comeback, because as
Speaker 1: a historian, for you to say that those words resonate for.
Speaker 2: Me, well, I'll give you two very very different examples.
Speaker 2: And in twenty nineteen or No. Twenty twenty one, Whista
Speaker 2: and I were in De Cora, Iowa. She had gone
Speaker 2: to Lucy College, small town, eastern Iowa. We're walking down
Speaker 2: main Street and there's a storefront for Trump. It's not
Speaker 2: a campaign event, not paid for by anybody else. The
Speaker 2: local people had just put it up because they were
Speaker 2: so deeply committed to him, and there was a grassroots movement.
Speaker 2: It didn't depend on him except that he was the symbol,
Speaker 2: He was the inspiration, but they were doing it on
Speaker 2: their own. The other example is what's happening with SpaceX.
Speaker 2: SpaceX this year will launch over ninety percent of all
Speaker 2: the satellites in the world that will be launched by everybody,
Speaker 2: and it's because you had this amazing entrepreneur who had
Speaker 2: divided the reusable rockets has already brought the cost down
Speaker 2: by ninety percent, and when they finally get their big
Speaker 2: rocket to work the Starship, it'll bring it down another
Speaker 2: down to about five percent of what it used to cost.
Speaker 2: And the Starship will lift one hundred people or one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty tons of cargo per flight. So instead
Speaker 2: of thing like getting the moon with two people, we
Speaker 2: could take seventy five or one hundred people. I mean,
Speaker 2: these are breakthroughs that surround Trump and they strengthen Trump,
Speaker 2: but they're not dependent on him, except to the degree
Speaker 2: that we stopped the left from screwing him up.
Speaker 1: You know what the amazing thing is is, you know,
Speaker 1: you're very kind to mention me in the same sentences
Speaker 1: as Rush and Roger. I don't think I'm in their league,
Speaker 1: to be very frank, But putting that aside, what is
Speaker 1: so stunning to me is the death of legacy media.
Speaker 1: You saw the speech Scott Kelly gave, the commencement address
Speaker 1: that he gave over the weekend, and he claims to
Speaker 1: be a journalist.
Speaker 3: He's not.
Speaker 1: You see fake Jake Tapper. You know, over at CNN,
Speaker 1: they didn't cover Joe Biden's cognitive decline. All these issues
Speaker 1: over the years, from starting with Richard Jewel to Duke Lacrosse,
Speaker 1: to Ferguson Missouri, to Freddie Gray, to the Russia collusion
Speaker 1: to the FISA abuse, to the valuation of Maar A
Speaker 1: Lago to Alvin Bragg Letitia James. We end up getting
Speaker 1: all these stories right. The media gets them all wrong.
Speaker 1: And now they threw everything they had at Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. And I have declared. I declared
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven journalisms dead, and after this election,
Speaker 1: I've i said legacy media is dead.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it's it's decaying so rapidly, of course.
Speaker 2: I mean probably's speech was just an embarrassment. I mean
Speaker 2: I recently went to my granddaughter and grandson's two commencements
Speaker 2: that Davidson over the last three years, and you know,
Speaker 2: you're had a commencement, they're graduating, and the parents feel good,
Speaker 2: the grandparents feel good, the students feel good, and this
Speaker 2: guy comes out and basically this vomits on everybody. I mean,
Speaker 2: his speech was so negative so hateful that the CBS
Speaker 2: ought to fire him summarily just.
Speaker 1: He says he's a journalist, He's a left wing, radical,
Speaker 1: leftist democratic pulp show host.
Speaker 3: He's not. He's not a journalist. That's what infuriates me.
Speaker 2: But what's happening is all of those institutions are losing power.
Speaker 2: I mean the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS,
Speaker 2: you know, MSNBCC. I'm not sure anybody who he and watches,
Speaker 2: you know, see them in anymore. And they're all I
Speaker 2: do think. I want to say two two quick things.
Speaker 2: You may not agree with. One, you are wrong. You
Speaker 2: are in the same pantheon as Rush Limbaugh and Roger Hills.
Speaker 2: I've watched your career. I know how big your audience is.
Speaker 2: I know how hard you work and how dedicated you are,
Speaker 2: and you are one of the great leaders of the
Speaker 2: last twenty years of saving this country. Two, I think
Speaker 2: that we ought to recognize that these people are all disappearing.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you go out and look at how
Speaker 2: many people get their news from sources other than what
Speaker 2: used to be important. And I do think that that
Speaker 2: Jake Tapper deserves some kind of award for the most
Speaker 2: hypocritically dishonest act in recent times for him to write
Speaker 2: a book about the cover up of Biden without recognizing
Speaker 2: that he was one of the chief guys covering it up.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an amazing act of Hutzbagh to have
Speaker 2: them out here with this book. I'm sure I'll make
Speaker 2: money out and I congratulated as a somebody who believes
Speaker 2: in pre enterprise. But it is so totally hypocritical that
Speaker 2: it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Well, now he's out there criticizing Leticia James and Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, welcome to the club. All right, quick
Speaker 1: break more with new King. Rich's brand new book is out,
Speaker 1: Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, now available on Amazon dot
Speaker 1: com and bookstores Tuesday all across the country. He will
Speaker 1: be at bookends in Ridgewood to eleven Ridgewood Avenue in
Speaker 1: New Jersey, six o'clock on June third, that's next Tuesday.
Speaker 3: You definitely want to copy of this book.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: We continue now with new King Rich. He has his
Speaker 3: new book out.
Speaker 1: It is called Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, available now
Speaker 1: Amazon dot Comhannity dot Com Available in bookstores around the country.
Speaker 1: As of Tuesday, he's doing a book signing six pm
Speaker 1: to eleven Ridgewood Avenue in New Jersey. You don't want
Speaker 1: to miss that if you are in the Ridgewood area.
Speaker 1: It's a great, great bookstore and there are number of
Speaker 1: times signing books myself bookends. You'll love it. We continue
Speaker 1: with the former speaker. What do you make of the
Speaker 1: Biden cover up, both internally, the threat to the country,
Speaker 1: the use of auto pen the media is deafening silence.
Speaker 3: We have a minute.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest question is who was actually running
Speaker 2: the government. I'll just give you one example. There are
Speaker 2: over twenty four hundred commutations signed on one day in
Speaker 2: January after the election, twenty four hundred. Now, who decided
Speaker 2: on those twenty four hundred? Who was involved in the
Speaker 2: decision process? It certainly wasn't Joe Biden. And who gave
Speaker 2: the instructions to the person who had the automatic pen
Speaker 2: to sign the name? Because it certainly event wasn't Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: And I think if you were to dig into the totality,
Speaker 2: starting in twenty twenty three, when clearly he began to
Speaker 2: be cognitively impaired, the number of decisions made by people
Speaker 2: who were illegally behaving as though they were president, I
Speaker 2: think will be breathtaking.
Speaker 3: I think it already is.
Speaker 1: I think it is the biggest greatest White House scandal,
Speaker 1: presidential scandal, maybe in history, you know, maybe Woodrow Wilson
Speaker 1: is a close second. But the fact that they knew
Speaker 1: all of it, they hid all of it, they lied
Speaker 1: about all of it. I want to know who knew
Speaker 1: what when, and who knew what when?
Speaker 3: Did they know it? And who was in charge?
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe it was Joe And that's that
Speaker 1: is you talk about a threat to democracy. Look, the
Speaker 1: book is phenomenal. I urge everyone to get their copy.
Speaker 1: You can get there's a link right now to Amazon
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com or just go to Amazon dot com.
Speaker 1: It is called Trump's Triumph, America's Greatest Comeback, altered by
Speaker 1: New King Rich. If you're in New Joyse, please go
Speaker 1: to Bookends Tuesday this coming Tuesday, June the third, six
Speaker 1: pm and New will be their signing copies of his book.
Speaker 1: It's on Ridgewood Avenue to eleven Ridgwood Avenue in New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Mister speaker, thank you for me my friend.
Speaker 1: I don't accept your kind words, but I appreciate them,
Speaker 1: and appreciate your friendship and appreciate all you always do
Speaker 1: for our country.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: With eight hundred and nine four one shot is a
Speaker 1: number you want to be a part of the program, Linda,
Speaker 1: are you going to love this story?
Speaker 3: You're ready and I know you didn't.
Speaker 5: Usually means I'm not going to love it.
Speaker 1: San Francisco's public school chief announced a grading for equity plan.
Speaker 1: The new grading system will award scores as low as
Speaker 1: forty one on one hundred point test with a C grade,
Speaker 1: according to the Voice of San Francisco. Now, students with
Speaker 1: a score as low as twenty one out of one
Speaker 1: hundred they will pass the exam with a D grade.
Speaker 1: According to the Washington Free Beacon, and the superintendent of
Speaker 1: schools unveiled the plan without seeking approval from the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Board of Education and off the press. They said
Speaker 1: in an exposed the program eliminates homework from final grades,
Speaker 1: and it eliminates the toll of weekly tests on a
Speaker 1: student's grade. I wish I went. I wish this system
Speaker 1: was in place when I went to school. I barely
Speaker 1: showed up as it is, but I had to show
Speaker 1: up on test days anyway. Grades for the entire semester
Speaker 1: rely on in the final exam. Now the free beacon eighty
Speaker 1: or above on one hundred point exam you get an
Speaker 1: A if you're on an eighty and eighty was a
Speaker 1: low C when I was in school. And I think
Speaker 1: this is great. They're giving kids exactly what they want
Speaker 1: and I think this is really going to improve their
Speaker 1: quality of their education.
Speaker 3: Well, i'll tell you, uy, straight face.
Speaker 5: The beautiful thing about this is that it was rejected
Speaker 5: on a bipartisan scale. As you're talking about this, I
Speaker 5: had to look it up. I'm like, this's got to
Speaker 5: be fake news, got to be Babylon B. And it
Speaker 5: looks like in the last couple of hours people started
Speaker 5: freaking out in the community. They're like, all right, liberals
Speaker 5: and conservatives together, We're like it's a bridge too far.
Speaker 5: We're done.
Speaker 3: This is not a thing.
Speaker 6: Mmm.
Speaker 1: I remember like there was a fireman test in New
Speaker 1: York City FDM Y at one point three out of
Speaker 1: the four answers that you would give would be right
Speaker 1: and only one answer would be wrong. You couldn't flunk
Speaker 1: that test if you just race through and guessed you'd
Speaker 1: still probably get a passing grade and get and pass
Speaker 1: the test.
Speaker 5: It's just pathetic. I mean, the last thing that you
Speaker 5: wanted somebody failing a test when your life is going
Speaker 5: to depend on it. It's like they're doing this at
Speaker 5: medical schools now. It's like where is meritocracy? Like at
Speaker 5: some point we have to say, like, this is a
Speaker 5: bad this is not a good decision. We're making a
Speaker 5: wrong term.
Speaker 1: By the way, a faction of Democratic Socialists of America
Speaker 1: is now praising the DC killing of those two two
Speaker 1: Israeli diplomats. A fringe faction of Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 1: This was in the New York Post praising the murder
Speaker 1: of two Israeli diplomats outside Washington, d C. In the
Speaker 1: museum there, the Jewish Museum, and lionizing the suspected killer,
Speaker 1: Elias Rodriguez.
Speaker 4: What is this.
Speaker 1: Obsession with praising killers in this cult of the hard
Speaker 1: radical left, you know, like this, Luigi Mangioni, this is
Speaker 1: sick stuff.
Speaker 3: It really is sick.
Speaker 5: And by the way, what's even most sick is that
Speaker 5: they spend more time with the criminals than they do
Speaker 5: with the victims.
Speaker 1: Yeah, By the way, I love what President Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: He's telling Harvard to cap the number of foreign students,
Speaker 1: and he's even taken it a step further, and they
Speaker 1: are now scrutinizing social media accounts. By the way, I've
Speaker 1: been telling everybody in your you know, well, it's not
Speaker 1: your state anymore either. You live in Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth.
Speaker 1: But Foremo's saying he's going to raise the minimum wage
Speaker 1: because he's got a little challenge from the hard left
Speaker 1: in New York City in the primary.
Speaker 3: Foremo's going to be the next governor. You do agree
Speaker 3: with that, don't you mean?
Speaker 4: Mayor?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the next mayor of New York City.
Speaker 5: You're right, I think everybody a heart attack.
Speaker 1: What's the difference, it's the same thing. Maybe, Oh, you
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna win. You want to bet?
Speaker 5: You know, I gotta be honest with you. You know
Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not gonna be honest with you because
Speaker 5: you're gonna get mad at what I'm gonna say. I
Speaker 5: just don't believe that any of it's fair. So I
Speaker 5: don't know what's what anymore?
Speaker 3: What were you going to say that I wasn't gonna like,
Speaker 3: I just think that there's.
Speaker 5: A lot of back end politics, and I think there
Speaker 5: are people running things that have a way of making
Speaker 5: sure things turn out.
Speaker 3: The way they would like.
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't believe in the fairness of it. I'm
Speaker 1: telling not in New York that the problem is it's
Speaker 1: baked in. But anybody with half a brain left New
Speaker 1: York now. So my friends that are hearing me in
Speaker 1: New York, and I have many friends and and and
Speaker 1: they were sending me notes last night. They know I'm
Speaker 1: a big Florida Panthers fan. And they made the semi
Speaker 1: they made the finals again in the the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 1: They'll probably be playing Edmonton again. It'll be a rematcher
Speaker 1: last year. And they got a great team, and they
Speaker 1: were all a plump. I love my friends in New York.
Speaker 1: But all of them are telling me privately they can't
Speaker 1: wait to follow me down here, and they can't wait
Speaker 1: for the winter time to come down and visit and
Speaker 1: get some warm weather. And they none of them want
Speaker 1: to be there. But they're all there for different reasons
Speaker 1: like kids or work or whatever it happens to be.
Speaker 1: But none of them want to be there anymore. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: to foot one, Sean if you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program.
Speaker 3: John is in South Carolina. Hey John, how are you
Speaker 3: glad you called? I'm good? How are you glad you called?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 6: You just happy to be at the gym right now?
Speaker 6: Question about the autopen, who's got the keys to it?
Speaker 4: Sore?
Speaker 6: Obviously it has to be a paper trail. For the
Speaker 6: paper trail, and it's just not sitting in a room
Speaker 6: and people just walk in there and like a copy machine,
Speaker 6: just throw whatever in there. Isn't there like a a
Speaker 6: log a personnel. Long guess who was using it?
Speaker 1: What you're talking about the autopen autopen? Yeah, there is
Speaker 1: there absolutely is. Positively Yeah yeah, they absolutely positively are.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, we need answers to the question who used
Speaker 1: the autopen. You know, look at look at the two
Speaker 1: thousand plus you know, pardons commutations at the end. Do
Speaker 1: we really think Joe Biden knew about every case? I
Speaker 1: don't believe that for any I don't believe it at all.
Speaker 1: He was a he was a cognitive complete mess by
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 7: He left, right, I mean, I would think at that point,
Speaker 7: with that many he'd there be like a batches of them,
Speaker 7: and someone would advise and say, okay, then this next
Speaker 7: sheet of one hundred people is for this. They've all
Speaker 7: been okay, great, perf, I'll sign this one for one hundred.
Speaker 7: You'd think there'd be something like that going on where
Speaker 7: he would have some knowledge of batches of these pardons
Speaker 7: going on.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm telling you right now there has got to
Speaker 1: be a full investigation. We had James Comer on the program.
Speaker 1: We'll put him on this radio show as well. He
Speaker 1: has begun the process now he is having transcribed interviews
Speaker 1: with TODP. Biden, Aids and his doctor. And we need
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of what did they know
Speaker 1: about Joe's cognitive decline, when did they know it, why
Speaker 1: did they cover it up? And who was in charge?
Speaker 1: And we need answers to all those questions. Appreciate the
Speaker 1: call of John. You're right, there has to be the
Speaker 1: paper trail, who used it? And we got to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it. No, no disagreement, Well, and
Speaker 1: I think we will. Robert in Georgia, Robert, how are you?
Speaker 1: Where in Georgia are you?
Speaker 8: I am in Statesboro, Georgia, but I travel on what's
Speaker 8: going on.
Speaker 6: Thanks for taking my call, and thank you for.
Speaker 3: What you do well. Thank you. I appreciate you being
Speaker 3: with us.
Speaker 8: I was telling Katie that I've got an LLC. I've
Speaker 8: been doing my own business since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 9: When COVID hit.
Speaker 8: It devastated my business. And I kept hearing all this
Speaker 8: talk about how we're going to get some help for
Speaker 8: small businesses. But I'm pretty much I had met and.
Speaker 9: Two people helping me. There was nothing for us, no
Speaker 9: help whatsoever, because by small business wasn't big enough to
Speaker 9: qualify for any of the loans or anything like that.
Speaker 9: And you know, it's not that I'm looking for retribution
Speaker 9: or anything like that, but what can be done to
Speaker 9: bring awareness that there are a lot of small business
Speaker 9: like myself that aren't big enough to qualify for a
Speaker 9: lot of the stuff that the government made available, that
Speaker 9: we don't just get hung out in the dry like
Speaker 9: I did.
Speaker 1: Listen, First of all, I feel sorry for small business
Speaker 1: people like you, I really do. I think it's terrible
Speaker 1: what you've been through. It never should have happened. People
Speaker 1: should have been given the choice. And you might remember
Speaker 1: there were businesses that tried to resist and then in
Speaker 1: came the government and wanted to arrest owners of small businesses.
Speaker 1: It's unconscionable to me. And is there going to be,
Speaker 1: you know, any type of payback.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, I really don't.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we have stay right there,
Speaker 1: Robert say, how to add in North Carolina? And apparently
Speaker 1: your your business was roomed because of COVID? Is that
Speaker 1: true in the shutdowns?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, Hey Sean, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm good. What's what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 4: I had a World War two teams coffee shop and
Speaker 4: I'm also an award winning cake separator, so not only dude.
Speaker 4: When they did the shutdown of all the wedding venues
Speaker 4: and things like that, it destroyed my wedding income. I
Speaker 4: also had to refund all of the bride that I
Speaker 4: had looked up for twenty one. I had to refund
Speaker 4: all those deposits they were taken. And my wife had
Speaker 4: a daycare and they made her shut her daycare down
Speaker 4: because she refused to get the COVID shot when she
Speaker 4: was seven months pregnant, so they told her she couldn't
Speaker 4: hold her date there license if she didn't get the vaccination,
Speaker 4: so the same thing. It's like where our businesses were
Speaker 4: too small to get any help from the government. We
Speaker 4: didn't get approved for any loans. And then, to make
Speaker 4: it even worse, after we bled the death with the
Speaker 4: coffee shop and the bakery, I applied for unemployment and
Speaker 4: I got I didn't get approved of that either.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what to say except that this
Speaker 1: is why I warned people to never trust their government.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't help you. It doesn't make up for
Speaker 1: what you have suffered through. It doesn't make up what
Speaker 1: Robert is saying here. You know, now business is trying
Speaker 1: to start over.
Speaker 3: You know. One of the things.
Speaker 1: I don't know what advice to give you, except number one,
Speaker 1: to say, how sorry I am, how wrong it's been,
Speaker 1: how awful government can be, how oppressive they can be,
Speaker 1: how wrong they were, And except to encourage you, I mean,
Speaker 1: we have ten trillion dollars in investment, and maybe you know,
Speaker 1: with under this one big beautiful bill, both of you
Speaker 1: will consider building out and maybe getting the right loans
Speaker 1: or investors, you know, manufacturing that in one of the
Speaker 1: areas where this money is going to go and be
Speaker 1: invested in. But short of that, I don't have a
Speaker 1: good answer for either one of you. And I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I really it's horrible what you've been through. Robert will
Speaker 1: go back to you.
Speaker 8: Well, thank goodness, my business didn't shut down. I just
Speaker 8: had to use a business line of credit just to
Speaker 8: stay afloat, and I maxed it out. And it's probably
Speaker 8: don't take me ten to fifteen years to pay that
Speaker 8: back with.
Speaker 4: Very high sense.
Speaker 3: That's terrible.
Speaker 1: You have that hanging over your head for ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen years, and and you lost your business altogether, right.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I closed them down. I mean I had
Speaker 4: a couple great customers of mind that actually when I
Speaker 4: anounced that I was shutting the business is down, they
Speaker 4: came to me and they said, hey, we don't want.
Speaker 6: You to close.
Speaker 4: We want we will pay all your bills until this
Speaker 4: thing is over. But at that point, I had no
Speaker 4: idea when it was going to be over, you know.
Speaker 4: And I'm not someone just to take handhouse. But you know,
Speaker 4: if it took thirty grand or one hundred grand, or
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, in my mind, I owe
Speaker 4: those two gentlemen that money back, you know, So I
Speaker 4: appreciated their offer, but at the time, we just had
Speaker 4: no idea where this was going. And as far as
Speaker 4: my look wife having to take the shot, I mean,
Speaker 4: I told her. She called me faying, and I told
Speaker 4: her just to shut it down because she's not getting
Speaker 4: the imagination, not knowing what it could do to the
Speaker 4: un board top, you know. So we lost everything, and
Speaker 4: this was in Connecticut. We sent them. I'm so sorry
Speaker 4: because I learned that.
Speaker 1: I hope people are hearing you because this is the
Speaker 1: danger of government that spirals out of control. This is it.
Speaker 1: And what they did during that time, I mean is unconscionable.
Speaker 1: What they did to kids, unconscionable, forcing kids to get
Speaker 1: the shot, and the JAB forcing pregnant women to get
Speaker 1: the shot, and the JAB people losing their jobs in
Speaker 1: the military. I mean, lives were ruined by our government
Speaker 1: and they've never been held accountable. And we now know
Speaker 1: we funded it, and the NIH funded it through the
Speaker 1: what is it, the Eco Health Alliance and the Wuhan
Speaker 1: virology lab. They knew, damn well, wasn't a wet market.
Speaker 1: They knew, damn well, it came from that virology lab.
Speaker 1: They knew, damn well, gain of function research took place there.
Speaker 1: They knew damn well, coronavirus research took place there, and
Speaker 1: they lied to all of us. It's horrible. I hate
Speaker 1: these There's nothing we can do to help them.
Speaker 3: Government got to go to jail.
Speaker 5: People got to go to jail.
Speaker 3: People need to be held accountable. They got to go
Speaker 3: to jail. I want to see those suits.
Speaker 1: Fauci got a pardon. It ain't gonna happen unless states
Speaker 1: go after him. But I will see what happens.
