1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: All right, News round up information overload our eight hundred 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: and nine for one sean. If you want to be 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: a part of the program, We're going to bring in 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: Jason Chaffitz, friend of ours and Fox News contributor, Distinguished 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: Fellow at the Government Accountability Institute. They came up with 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: incredible information that they have uncovered through the Freedom of 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Information Act. The Government Accountability Institute obtained a the company's 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: application to a program as it relates to Stacy Abrams 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: and despite her claim to have walled herself all from 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: business anyway, the application submitted to the state by the 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: company list Stacey Abrams as a key manager of the 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: company and provides a one page biography. Now, if you 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: go back to when she ran for governor in Georgia 14 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: in two and eighteen, her net worth was one hundred 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: and nine thousand dollars in the interim. Her net worth now, 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: according to the Associated Press, is three million, three point 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: one seven million dollars. So the question is how did 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: she make all that money? Back then she was reporting liabilities, 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: including fifty four thousand that she owed the arrest, ninety 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: six thousand, and student loaned at eighty three thousand, and 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: credit card balances. All of these things apparently now have 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: been paid off. Here. It's pretty unbelievable. And by the way, 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: for all the people that say, oh, Donald Trump, you 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: know he talks about election for this is really bad. 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: It's so bad. Stacy Abrahams still has not conceded the 26 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen gubernatorial race in Georgia. They stole it from 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: the voters in Georgia. Okay, anyway, So she leveraged to 28 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: public service in state government, according to the Government Accountability Institute, 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: to make millions of dollars for a company she partially owned. 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: According to this new research, and her company Now Corp. 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: Received special treatment, apparently from a Georgia state department that 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: administered federal funds, despite her assurances in twenty eighteen during 33 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: her run for governor that she had walled herself off 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: from the company while she was the leader of the 35 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: Democratic Party in the state legislature. Jason Chavitz, who did 36 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: this investigative report and posted it on Foxnews dot com. 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: It's very detailed, very extensive, as always, joins us. Now, 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: how are you great? Great? I you know, whenever you 39 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: see a publicly elected official suddenly have a massive increase 40 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: in their in their net worth at the same time, 41 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: and they're claiming that, oh, now, I'm not involved in 42 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: any private business. It just makes me scratch my head 43 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: and think, oh really, let's go see if that's true. Okay, 44 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: walk us through so people fully understand. Start from the beginning. 45 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: So there was a company, it's called the now Now Accounts. 46 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't doing very well. It was struggling. But President 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: Obama passes a bill, he gets supportive, passes a bill. 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: There's one point five billion dollars that go out to 49 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: these various state entities. The problem was in the state 50 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: of Georgia. She got some special treatment because even though 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: she said you was walled off, they filled out applications 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: and created a program that wasn't available in other states. 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: And she tried to evidently duplicate this in other states, 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: but it didn't happen in other states. And in fact, 55 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: one of the telltale signs here is they have now 56 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: discontinued this program. And it was basically a loan guarantee. 57 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: She was able to now corporation was able to act 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: as if it was a private lender, so they would 59 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: buy accounts receivable, so they'd go to a company and 60 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: say you got this long list of accounts receivable, let 61 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: us manage that will take a fee. But what she 62 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: was able to do was use the government as a 63 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: backstop to guarantee those loans, so there was no risk, 64 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: and so they were able to then go And this 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: is based on a Harvard Business Review that government account 66 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: of the institute purchased. You can't you couldn't just go 67 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: get it, but we had to purchase it. They purchased 68 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: this Harvard Business Review and they admit out loud, they say, 69 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: quote allows us to scale faster because the government is 70 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: in the first lost position, not our lenders. So as 71 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: a government guarantee that she was taking it for people 72 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: that don't understand first position. When you're talking about investment 73 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: money or loaning money to a company, usually banking financial 74 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: institution demand to be put in first place if they're 75 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: going to lend the money. In other words, if a 76 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: company then goes bankrupt, okay, they sell their assets, they 77 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: want to get their money back first. And as far 78 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: as everybody else that might have invested, they don't really 79 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 1: care that much about them, and they want their money 80 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: period end of sentence correct. Yes, and so what this 81 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: does is the government was in the first lost position, 82 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: so they would be they're the one. It's the taxpayers 83 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: that ended up having to pay it. The money essentially 84 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: went through to this corporation, and that's how these people 85 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: were making a lot of money. Okay. So it's a 86 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: rags to riches story. And I know Peter Schweitzer and 87 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Eric Eggers their regulars on this program as well, and 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: I know you did it on the podcast, and I'm 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: reading through all of this there. Let's go through their 90 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: business model. So their business was to purchase receivables at 91 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: ninety seven cents on the dollar, okay, and this is 92 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: from businesses that have not yet paid for services provided. 93 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: So explain that aspect of it. So there were hundreds 94 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: of companies and they would go through and they would 95 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: look at their accounts receivable. Again they maybe have not 96 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: even performed the services yet, but they know they're going 97 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: to collect on these at least they think they're going to. 98 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: But the problem is Sean. As they go through this, 99 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: the entity und Bride Private Equity, which was the Small 100 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Business Credit Cooperative SBCC, it reported three times the amount 101 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: in loan defaults as the other entity, which was called 102 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Trade Credit Guarantee Corporation which was prought, which was funded 103 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: by the nonprofit credit unions. So some would say, oh, 104 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: well that's because it was more risky and that sort 105 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: of thing. But the bottom line is she campaigns on 106 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the day that she quote putting money back in the 107 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: pockets of families end quotes. But no, she went to 108 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: the taxpayers, got special treatment as an elected official, and 109 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: that money ended up going in in her pocket in part, 110 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: not all of it, but in part. How were you 111 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: able to get this information? I don't know through the 112 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act? How did this go unnoticed for 113 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: such a long period of time here, because you know 114 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: what they're doing is they ostensibly is lending businesses money 115 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: for invoices for which business as we're waiting payment for, 116 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: and their account secured state contracts that allowed it to 117 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: use federal taxpayer dollars to replenish loans left unpaid. In 118 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: other words, they're not taking any of the risk here, 119 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: as previously reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Now, since 120 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: your report has come out, has there been any interest 121 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: or follow up from the AJAC, Well they should because 122 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: they told you a Planet Journal Constitution that she quote 123 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: walled myself off of this relationship. But it doesn't appear 124 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: she does because in the application she's listed as a 125 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: key manager, And so when you're going out to get 126 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: a grant, they want to see who's involved, who's engaged. Well, 127 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: she just happens to be a very prominent member of 128 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: the Georgia State legislature. What do you think that person's 129 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: going to do when it shows up before and it 130 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: lands on their desk? But she's telling the public I 131 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: was walled myself off, and they kind of scrubbed the website, 132 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: by the way, it didn't used to be that way. 133 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: But you go to the website now you can't find her, 134 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: but you know, there are ways on the internet to 135 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: go back and look at where it has been in 136 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: the path. And she was obviously intimately involved in this. 137 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: She wouldn't have been a key manager if that was 138 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the case. Why did Harvard Business School do a case 139 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: study on this scheme as they call it. I don't 140 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: know why they were able to do it, but obviously 141 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: they got participation from the now corporation as well as 142 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: the private equity that came in, because remember this organization 143 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: was struggling, But they got tens of millions of dollars 144 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: in private equity, because I think private equity was looking 145 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: at say, wait, you've got a guarantee from the government, 146 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: We're not going to lose money here. And so they 147 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: poured tens of millions of dollars into it. But they 148 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: also answered the questions from Harvard. And again part of 149 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: what the Government Accountability Institute did is purchased that report 150 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: and get it. So this is an amazing thing. So deal, 151 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: So Stacy Abram's company now account they set up, by 152 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: the way, as two entities, nonprofits, the purpose of which 153 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: is to lend money to businesses that are supposedly awaiting 154 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: payment and many in many instances, the people don't pay 155 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: the money back. And when the money was not paid back, 156 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: they had a guarantee from the government, the state government. 157 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: I assume in Georgia that their losses would be reimbursed 158 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: by the taxpayer. Why would the taxpayer ever beyond the 159 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: hook for this type of money. Well, it came from 160 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: a grant from the federal government. But the state set 161 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: up this program. Now, she happened to be the only 162 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: I'd say she the now organization that now it was 163 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: the only one that qualified and got it is best 164 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: we can tell and look, bottom line is, I think 165 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: there are a lot more questions than answers at this point. 166 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: When she denied any involvement, but she clearly out of 167 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: form and had her as the key manager when her 168 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: net worth rises so rapidly. The excuse was, well, she's 169 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: doing a lot of speaking gigs and you know, she 170 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: got a book deal. But you know, when you've got 171 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: eighty plus thousand dollars in credit card debt and now 172 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: you're worth millions of dollars while she was running for 173 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, she was running for governor. She never stopped 174 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: running for governor. All of this happened magically. Come on, 175 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: She's got a lot more questions to answer. So the 176 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: reality is, is it one of those issues that can 177 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: actually that the average person is going to be able 178 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: to comprehend. Let's say, I don't know if it's going 179 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: to be Kemp or David Purdue, whoever wins that the 180 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: gubernatorial Senate primary, sorry, gubernatorial primary, whoever wins that primary. 181 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: Now we'll be going up against Stacy Abrams. Now, the 182 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: question is how do you make this an issue in 183 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: the campaign in a way that people can understand it? 184 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: Because it gets, it gets a little bit in the weed. 185 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: You have to really read deep. I actually read your 186 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Europe twice before I fully understood it. I mean, it 187 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: does get to be a little bit complicated. I think 188 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: the simple topline questions that she's going to have to 189 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: answer in any context is why did she receive special 190 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: treatment related to her private business while she was an 191 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: elected official? Well, it's a it's an pretty incredible discovery 192 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: that you have here. Let's see if the rest of 193 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: the mob and the media does their job and digs 194 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: down deep, because if it was a Republican we know 195 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: that that would happen anyway. Great work. As always, Fox 196 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: News contributed to distinguished fellow at the Government Accountability Institute, 197 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: our friend Jason Chaffitt's great work. So thank you for 198 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: being with us. Thanks Sean. All right, quick break, we'll 199 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: hit the phones when we get back. Eight hundred and 200 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean our number. You want to be 201 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: a part of the program. Let's get to our phones here. 202 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: We got Cheryl is in California. Cheryl were in California? 203 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: Are yet true? Yes? I just wanted to agree with 204 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: you and reiterate something that I think is a very 205 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: nuanced issue that is not brought up enough. The whole 206 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: abortion topic is so much more complicated, and the media 207 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: and all of the loud voices like to make it 208 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: a black and white issue. I've been in medicine for 209 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: twenty something years as a nurse, and when especially you 210 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: talk about things like late term doctors aren't performing those 211 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: abortions because they want to. Those are children that are dying, 212 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: Those are mothers that are dying, or their quality of 213 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: life would be so subpar, And I would just encourage 214 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: people to place themselves in the shoes of the parents. 215 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: Would that be something that you would want to force 216 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: someone to deliver only to see the sadness or consider 217 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: that perhaps the kindness is the better option in some cases. No, 218 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: I don't agree that it's a part, but I think 219 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: the left is effectively sort of rendered. They've they've just 220 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: they don't refer to it as a life. And at 221 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: some point, you know, when you have a beating heartbeat, 222 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: it's some certainly in a final trimester and even in 223 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: the second trimester, at some point that child is living 224 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: inside a woman's womb is viable outside the womb, especially 225 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: with the advancement of medical technology. Is that correct? Sometimes? 226 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes yes, Yeah, So the question is children badly be 227 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: born without major organs that allows their heart to beat, 228 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: but their brains are not there, or their organs are 229 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: not where they should be. But yes, you are correct, 230 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: But there's a certain point where it's it's the child 231 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: is viable outside of the womb. We correct potentially, Okay, 232 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: certainly the third trimester abortions, some of those kids can 233 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: be completely saved and lived their lives happily. Correct. I 234 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: do say some because that is it is not it's 235 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: not that it's I got I totally understand that, all right. 236 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: It's not hard and fashion. Yeah, And I think that's 237 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: what people forget is there are cases where there is 238 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: a potential option that perhaps a family who is better 239 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: equipped to handle a very high I wish people would 240 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: think more like your your heart comes through loud and clear, 241 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: and I think there's a certain hardness of heart as 242 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: it relates to people's callousness about what it is that 243 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: the beauty that is actually birth and a child being 244 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: born and what is inside of woman's womb. Anyway, I 245 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Eight nine is on number if you want 246 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Twenty five to 247 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: the top of the hour eight nine Sean, if you 248 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: want to join us Mother's Days Sunday, and some people 249 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: have been requesting autograph copies of my book Live Free 250 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: or Die. We have them up on hannity dot Com. 251 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: Great gift for Mother's Day for all the moms in 252 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: your life if you're looking for something different, if they 253 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: like the show they like Hanndy the TV show and 254 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: it's personally yes, autographed by yours truly, that would be me. 255 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: But Mother's Day and can I just jump in just 256 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: for yourself? You know what, I need a free copy 257 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: because I didn't get a signed copy. I got all 258 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: the other copies to get everybody else to help them 259 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: get their signed copy. But in all seriousness, you know, 260 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: I get asked all the time for swag, for autographs 261 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: of you. People want stuff, and I know you hate 262 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: doing this and you're you know, you're it's ironic. You're 263 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: actually shy when it comes to talking about your book 264 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: and stuff. But it really is one of those books 265 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: that was so monumental, you know, in wake of the election, 266 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: looking out at this big brother government which obviously with 267 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the Ministry of Truth or Disinformation Governance board or whatever 268 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: they want to call it. I mean, you're chapter four 269 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Lived for Your Diets exactly that like socialism doesn't work, 270 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: it just doesn't. And there's so much of that in 271 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: this book. And I think it's just so enlightening. And 272 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, if you've got a mom out there who 273 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, really enjoys reading about history, the legacy of 274 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: our nation, how it intertwines with out of other nations, 275 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: and you want to give her something different than just 276 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: like you know, you're a great mom mug or shirt 277 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: or roses. You want to give her something a little extra, 278 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, for the patriot mom in your life. I 279 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: would love it. So I think it would be something 280 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: really nice. You just go to handity dot com.

So now we have a second comedian 284 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage in 285 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: La I Guess after some woke activists tried to cancel 286 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: them over trans jokes. Apparently Jamie Fox rushed into help. 287 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: Chris Rock was there, came on stage after and started joking, Hey, 288 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: was that Will Smith, which is pretty funny, which is 289 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: part which unfortunately right, he says he's said a precedent. 290 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, ironically, Sean, we talked about this and you 291 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: were like, you know this, you know my sense? He 292 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: I know. And what people probably don't know is when 293 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm on stage, off stage, there are people waiting just 294 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: in case something happens, and there are people that I 295 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: train with, and I try not to put myself in 296 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: an environment where I just try to be safe. And 297 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: I'm very safe in terms of where I go because 298 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: people are crazy now, they're nuts, and they also have 299 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: no accountability. There's no personal responsibility. Nobody's allowed to say anything. 300 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: Everybody has to agree. We're all tolerant until we have, 301 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, our own unique thoughts. I mean, I just 302 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: don't even understand what is considered acceptable anymore. Like I 303 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: would never in my life jump on top of someone, 304 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: try to hurt them, try to assault them because I 305 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: didn't agree with them. That's just not who we are 306 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: as a nation. It's just unbelievable, and it's sad. It 307 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: really is sad. I mean, this guy's telling jokes. You 308 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: don't like his jokes, don't go, don't buy the ticket, 309 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: stay home, go to another show, being your own echo chamber, 310 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: go there. I just don't understand, like he has a 311 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: right to say what he wants, go up on stage. 312 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: People have a right to buy the tickets and listen 313 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: to him. Just let him do his thing. Yeah, I look, 314 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: I happen to like Dave Chappelle, and I haven't hilarious 315 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: he's I mean, he is so funny. I don't understand 316 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: if if you cannot stay, if you don't like comedians 317 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: that make fun of everybody, listen the only reason. And 318 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: I only saw clips of it. I didn't see the 319 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: whole thing, but the clips I saw of Trevor Noah. 320 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: I've never once thought this guy was funny ever. I mean, 321 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: and people would send me bits that he does about me, 322 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: and I look at it. I mean, like it's not 323 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: even funny. I wish it was funny. And the reason 324 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: that he was funny in terms of what I was 325 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: able to see the clips that I saw, because I'm 326 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: not going to a White House Correspondence dinner. I've never 327 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: been to one. I never will go to one. I'd rather, 328 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, be shot fifty times before firing squad. And anyway, 329 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: I just have no interest in being around them. And 330 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: I know the people in that room hate me, and 331 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: I just don't feel like wasting my time with these people. 332 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: So so, but the reason that I thought he was 333 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: funny is because I could see he went after Fox, 334 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: he went after See Ann, he went after see An 335 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: M plus, which is funny. He went after Republicans, he 336 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: went after Trump, He went after Biden, who was sitting 337 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: right there, you know, dumbfounded. And the Biden starts laugh 338 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: everything he's gone up with Joe inflations or the roof. 339 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: This through the roof and Joe's laughing, ha ha, it's 340 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: not impacting him. I thought his reaction should have been 341 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more muted. But that was my take. 342 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: But this is what made the old comics, This is 343 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: what made Johnny Carson Johnny Carson, This is what made 344 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: Jay Leno so successful. The reason jay Leno kicked Letterman's 345 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: ass in the end is because Jay Leno was an 346 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: equal opportunity comedian. He just wanted kicks and giggles. He 347 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: wanted people to laugh. And we all know, I mean, 348 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: Letterman was a raging liberal, so I mean, well, you 349 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: know it's like he got worse over time. I mean 350 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: it was he had biting humor a little bit different 351 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: than Jay Leno, very stylistically different. But there was a 352 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: time when their ratings were very close and then slowly 353 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: but surely Leno pulled away and it wasn't close in 354 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: the end. The reason that Fallon and Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, 355 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: who I think is the worst, the reason their ratings 356 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: totally suck, I mean, especially compared to even Letterman and Leno, 357 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: is because they're so hyperpartisan that they basically have alienated 358 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 1: half the country. It's like, you know, it's funny, and 359 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: I gotta say Stephen Colbert is a perfect example of this. 360 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: So Stephen Colbert when he was pretending to be an 361 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: anchor and not taking himself so seriously, I actually thought 362 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: he was very funny when he was doing the Daily 363 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Show and he was on Comedy Central and it was 364 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: just all about, you know, getting a laugh. And then 365 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: when he became a late night host and thought thinks, 366 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: in my opinion, I think he thinks of himself very highly. 367 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: He thinks he's a very important person. You know, he's 368 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: the kind of person who walks into a room and goes, 369 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: do you know who I am. You know, I'm just 370 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: not really dying. It's ter started attacking Trump. And but 371 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. People will jump on the 372 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: dog that everybody else is jumping on because they don't 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: want to be in the line of fire. They would 374 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: rather just have that group think mentality jump on board. 375 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be the next target. Nobody wants to 376 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: think outside the box. That's why people like Elon Musk, 377 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 1: Joe Rogan, you know, they're sort of like they're setting 378 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: a tone here, like we're successful, we have our own opinions. 379 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: We don't need you guys, which in the political world 380 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: is the same thing with like an Oz or a Trump, right, 381 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: people who don't need the lobbyists. We don't need your money. 382 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: We can do it our way. And I think that's 383 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: why we're getting these standalone, these outliers that are coming 384 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: in and saying, you know, this doesn't work anymore. This 385 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: doesn't people can't laugh. Anybody tie us to today's news 386 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: because now we have Biden's deplorable moment and you know, irredeemable, 387 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: deplorable Hillary Clinton or you know Peter Struck, you know 388 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: Smelly Trump Walmart shoppers, or Barack Obama you know, bitter 389 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Americans clinging to their guns, their their Bibles and their religion, etc. 390 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: And Biden saying the Magar crowd is the most extreme 391 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: political organization that existed in recent American history. It's the 392 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: same thing. You're alienating half the country and it's like, Okay, 393 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: well you don't want me here. And then I had 394 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: all the governors all over the country begging me to move. Unfortunately, 395 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: my contract is locked me into this, this schiff hole 396 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: of a city that I hate and want no part 397 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: of anymore. And I'm getting rob blind every day and 398 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: it's um, it's frustrating to say the least. So UM. 399 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: I just think that this there is a contempt out 400 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: there for half the country. And Dave Chappelle is funny, 401 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: Chris Rock is funny. Um, Trevor nor least from what 402 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: I saw at that event, was funny. And I just 403 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: these guys. At some point, somebody's gonna learn that politics 404 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: it's sort of like taking a knee in football. That's 405 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: the same thing. And it's like, if you want to 406 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: destroy a game, you got the most unifying event in 407 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: the world, and then you bring politics into It's so stupid. 408 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: You know, let people want to get away from their 409 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: day to day crap. And then for music, same thing, yeah, 410 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: same thing I mean. And then the musicians get all political. 411 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't care what you think. I just want you 412 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: to play your music. Play your music, stop talking so much. 413 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: Just play the music very much. The pros do the 414 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: people that have been around. I agree with you. They 415 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: keep it through themselves. They do their jobs. If they 416 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: have philanthropic efforts, they do it on the side. They 417 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: don't need all the accolades, you know. Like I went 418 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: to a YouTube concert. I was so disappointed, and I 419 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: guess I should have expected it because I like them. Yeah, 420 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew he was a raging liberal, don't 421 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: get me wrong, but it was so egregious in the concert. 422 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, this is like next level. The 423 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: fun away from it, and people don't go to concerts 424 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to get a lecture from a rock star. That's correct. Anyway, 425 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. Sabrina is in Florida. Sabrina, 426 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you called hi, son. 427 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: I just want to make a couple of points real quick. 428 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Number one timing, So this leak could not have been 429 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: time better for the Democrats, and that I think is 430 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: why it was orchestrated. And I think the American public 431 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: need to wake up and see that every one of 432 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: these little ploys are going to backfire on the Democrats. 433 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: We have to make sure as Republicans and Independence that 434 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: the public sees the other side and what they're doing. 435 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: It's very, very important the timing of this, that the 436 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: timing of this, it's perfect, but it's not because you know, 437 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: the American people, by the if this decision comes out 438 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: whenever it comes out, probably in June, and it stays 439 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: the same by that point, the American people, the reasonable people. 440 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: In the latest Fox poll, seventy percent of Independence don't 441 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: have a high opinion of Joe Biden. That is a 442 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: dramatic shift. He's losing young people, he's losing African Americans, 443 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 1: he's losing Hispanic Americans. There's nothing you can point to 444 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: as a success. Abortion might motivate a small part of 445 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: the Democratic base come November, but it's not the defining 446 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: issue because Americans will figure out the average people, not 447 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: the activists. They will understand that states are going to 448 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: make that decision, and this is the federal government allowing 449 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: elected officials representatives in the states to make those decisions 450 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: for them rather than having this big broad blanket, big 451 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: gover remitted decision that people need to abide by, and 452 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: then you'll have very liberal states with very liberal abortion laws, 453 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: and then you'll have more conservative states that put more 454 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: restrictions in place. Probably not that onerous. My guess is 455 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: the average will be the Mississippi law of fifteen weeks. 456 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: That's my guess. That's almost four months into a pregnancy. 457 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: That's a long time anyway, Sabrina, thank you. Philip is 458 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: in Texas. Hey, Philip, how are you. I'm wonderful. It's 459 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: an honor honors all mine. What's on your mind? Well, 460 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: I was listening to the show yesterday and you had 461 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: defined what your definition of being a conservative was, and 462 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: I agreed with everything you said, but you left out 463 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: I think one very very important thing. What's up. Well, 464 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: to be a conservative, you have to conserve something, okay, 465 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: and you said you need. You didn't like to have 466 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: taxes down, But if the government keeps spending money, we're 467 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: not saving things. So I think we have to have 468 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: a balance budget. I'm for a balanced budget, but it's 469 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: such are so far away from that reality. I just 470 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: it's on the list. It's just at this point in time, 471 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: I would want to grow the economy. The best way 472 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: to grow the economy is to have lower taxes, less regulation. 473 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: Energy independence is a big part of it. We can't 474 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: be involved in these endless wars. It's unfortunate that we're 475 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: going to have to provide the military aid we're providing Ukraine, 476 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: but it's more unfortunate to see mass graves and dead 477 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: women and children in the street and not have a 478 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: moral imperative to at least let them fight their battle 479 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: and win the war. My criticism is is we have 480 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: not given them the weaponry that they need to win. 481 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: And this is the problem with America when we get 482 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: involved in foreign conflicts. We don't fight to win anymore. 483 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: If you fight, you gotta fight to win. And that's 484 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: that's why I'm so against one American boot on the 485 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: ground in Ukraine, or frankly, anywhere else in the world 486 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: for that matter. At this point, I don't trust them 487 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: anymore as a group. They're all gung hold. They don't 488 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: fight to win, and after a period of time they'll 489 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: politicize it and then they'll say, oh, it's a political liability. Uh, 490 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: never mind, And we've lost how many of you know 491 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: of our American kids or national treasure that went fought, 492 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: bled and died in this conflict. So I'm just you know, 493 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: and modern military weaponry technology is advanced to the point 494 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: that we don't need boots on the ground like we 495 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: used to. The single most destructive force that I fear 496 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: at this point in history is that a weak America 497 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: of a frail, weak cognitive mess of a president has 498 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: now put the world order, if you will, not new 499 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: world order, but alliances. Let's put up that way. It's 500 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: a better word, and it's it's in chaos. And so 501 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: you see emerging new alliances Russia, China, Iran, that that's 502 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: an axis of evil that that is going to be 503 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: very difficult to handle down the road. If that solidifies, 504 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: it's taken some of our allies, like now we're reading 505 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia that used to want to work with us, 506 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: is now trying to make peace with the Iranians. And 507 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: then Joe kissing the Iranians, asked, scares the hell out 508 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: of me, because that means they'll get a nuclear weapon 509 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: married to their radical ideology, which will result in the 510 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: death potentially of millions and millions of people. It is 511 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: very dangerous, more dangerous than any other point in my 512 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: life that I can think of. Anyway.
