1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Radio Show podcast. Hey, guys, you know

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: how much I love Tommy John's underwear, undershirts and their socks.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: They are the best yet. You know what, We're getting

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of feedback from Hannity listeners too. And guess what,

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Tommy John sent me a few testimonials from real live

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show listeners, so I'm going to share them

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: with you. Dave says, I can't believe I'm saying this,

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: but they have actually changed my life. Mark says, great materials,

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: great fit, a great example of how doing something very basic,

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: very well can make a surprisingly positive impact on the

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: quality of life. And Gary says, my grumpy stepfather actually

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: thanked me for the gift of Tommy John's. That's a

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: first in the forty years I've known hip. Louise says,

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: my husband is walking, bending and lifting all day. This

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: is the first pair of underwear that doesn't roll down

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: and ride up. He loves them. Now you've heard the reviews,

Speaker 1: Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part of

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: this extravaganza. Three big stories we are following today. Obviously

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: there's still a ton coming out on Harvey Weinstein. Oh

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the worst part is everybody knew. Everybody knew. And by

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: the way, now, Hollywood, we're going you know, I actually

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: had this conversation with somebody. We're thinking back about all

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the different movies that over the years have sexualized young

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: young women. Somebody brought up the movie What's the Name

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: of That American Beauty? And it's who plays the lead

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: role in that? Yeah? No, no, no, what's the guys?

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: And I like Kevin Spacey when he plays the president whatever.

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: He's an actor, but it's really a creepy I remember

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: seeing it at the time thinking it was creepy because

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: he's like this guy that's married to his wife and

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: they don't get along, and he's going through smoking pot

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: and hanging out with kids and his daughter is dating

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: this weirdo that lives next store, and the daughter has

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a cute girlfriend and he's like, you know, wants to

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: have sex with the daughter, and then they have those

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: scenes and it's really creepy. It's just there's so many

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: different creepy, you know scenes. I'll give you an example. Mister, Oh,

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm so feigning outrage over healthcare, and everybody wishes Jimmy

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Kimmel's child is healthy. You would think, well, if you

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: listen to him, although, why are you taking away my Obamacare?

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: And then he gets ratings and then he starts going

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: after guns or whatever else he's doing. All right, you know,

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel. Let's go play a little Jimmy Kimmel bit.

51
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem too outraged over Harvey Weinstein. I've stopped

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: something in my pants, and you're allowed to feel around

53
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: on the outside of the pants. You have ten seconds

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: to then guess what is in my pants. You should

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: use too heads, two heads. Maybe it would be easier

56
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: if you put your mouth on it. Okay, are you

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: sure of that? Because Uncle Jimmy doesn't need to do time.

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna make a fine white and your guess is

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: vibrator a vibrator? No, it is actually a zucchini with

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: a rubber band on it as a vibrator. Look, this

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: is a good game. This is a good game. Now

62
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. And I'm not a prude, and I

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: don't care what people watch it, so on and so forth.

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: That's not my point. What Harvey Weinstein is he is

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: wrapped tight around the Democratic Party. Here's where it gets sinister, though,

66
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Here's where the hypocrisy comes into play. Is liberal If

67
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: you're a liberal, you'll accept and ignore one Itai Kathleen Willie,

68
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers, and the multitude of other women,

69
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: didn't matter if it's grabbing, groping, touching, fondling, kissing against ones,

70
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: will you just forget it? Because after all, they're the Clintons,

71
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: and the Clintons they're on the right side of abortion

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: rights and gay rights and women's rights. But are they?

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: And you know, you'll accept that Hillary's running and you'll

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: forget she takes all of these millions and millions of

75
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: dollars from countries to practice shariah. Yeah, you know where

76
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: women can't drive, women are told how to dress. Women

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: can't leave the house without a male's permission, they can't

78
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: travel abroad, women can be beaten. Marital rape in some

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: of these countries is not a crime. They're the big

80
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: champions of gay and lesbian rights. It's been Sean Hannity

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: the speaking out against Sharia so people can live their

82
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: own lives and not get thrown off buildings. And I've

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: said this for how many years, Linda and get killed.

84
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: And I've always wondered, all right, maybe we just agree

85
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: on gay marriage. Who cares school of your life? I'm

86
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: a libertarian. I've said it for years and years and years.

87
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Hillary's taken money from countries to treat women, gays, lesbians, Christians,

88
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: and Jews atrociously. You know, It's it's pretty amazing to

89
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: me that that got through, and nobody in the meeting.

90
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: It's it's this whole list of litany of people that

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: start talking Hillary takes money, Hillary pack takes money, Obama,

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Victory Fund, Obama, and Hillary, the Clintons. You know, three

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: sentences from Hillary took five days to get a sentence

94
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: out of her. You know, if it was a conservative

95
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: or pastor or somebody that wants to be a Christian,

96
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: and they would have been excoriated by these late night

97
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: comics and others because maybe they're a Christian, but they're

98
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: not perfect, because the idea is to become a better person.

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: But no, you've got to be perfect in the world

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: of liberalism. But your whole series of sins forgiven as

101
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: long as you have the right political agenda. And you

102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: hate Republicans. I mean, every top Democrat has taken money

103
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: in this particular case. You know, I think there's a

104
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: lot of enablers in all of this. And what else

105
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: did we discover. We discovered NBC had the story and

106
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: spiked the story, and the same with the New York Times.

107
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I've got to say this, and I'm

108
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm very cautious to do this because I think it's

109
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: very tough if a woman has put under those these

110
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: horrible conditions. But you can't say that if you were

111
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: one of the richest Hollywood actresses and had financial security

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and you knew this guy this was a creep like

113
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: this and abuse people like this, that you didn't have

114
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: the power to speak out, you did you chose not to?

115
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: Now that it's out, you see all these a listers,

116
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: all that happened to me too. That happened to me too.

117
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: Did you think at any point that maybe, you know,

118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: this casting couch phenomenon that has gone on in modeling

119
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and in Hollywood for all these years, that you could

120
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: have stepped up and maybe saved some girl from being

121
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: traumatized or worse, because it gets worse. You know, you

122
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: got young kids, and they don't have a lot of

123
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: life experience, and they have big dreams, big lights, big city,

124
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: and they want to be a model, and they want

125
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: to be of an actor or an actress, and they

126
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: go out there and then all of a sudden, well,

127
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, let's go out to dinner, let's get a massage,

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: let's go in the hot tub or what do you

129
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: call that stupid thing that spends a jacuzzi, and let's

130
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: put bubbles in here, and well of ourselves, you know,

131
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: a little champagne in a good time. That's why it

132
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: was so disgusting. You want to know what Hollywood real

133
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: values are? Just go back when Roman Polanski. This is

134
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: a guy that raped a thirteen year old girl and

135
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: he gave her champagne. Jack Nicholson's house. He wasn't there

136
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: at the time and queludes, which is a sedative, and

137
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: then he raped her. He raped her anally, orally and vaginally. Okay.

138
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Then he's been living off in Europe, and you have

139
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: all these people when there was a point and he

140
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: was arrested in Switzerland at some some movie event. Then

141
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein and all these top Hollywood people, Oh, you

142
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: gotta let mister Polanski go free. He's a child rapist.

143
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Why aren't you? And then when he won an Oscar

144
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, you know you have a minute's worth

145
00:08:33,240 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: of applause for this creep. Nascar goes to Roman Polanski, okanes, Oh, okay,

146
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: he gets Roman Polanski. What if it was your thirteen

147
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: year old daughter that was, you know, given champagne and

148
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: queyluds and raped. I don't think I'd be too happy.

149
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd be given such a guy in applause.

150
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I'd be saying this guy has a

151
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: right to live abroad. By the way, is anyone gonna

152
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: pay attention when Harvey goes to get his sex addiction

153
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: treatment and his abuse of people treatment, And by the way,

154
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: sex clinics have to be the dumbest thing I've ever

155
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: heard you know, they have what do you have? Group

156
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: therapy sessions? Okay, everybody in the room has a sex problem.

157
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: What are you gonna put men and women together and

158
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: it's in a circle to talk about their escapades? What

159
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: do you think's gonna happen during the breaks? What do

160
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: you think's gonna happen late at night when the nurses

161
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: are asleep at the desk. That never made sense to me. Well, Hannity,

162
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: they separate the men and women. Okay, they'll find a

163
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: way to get together. You know, women are on one

164
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: side of the compound and men are on the other

165
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: side of the compound. They'll figure out a way to

166
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: get together. I'm pretty confident of that. You know. So

167
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: where we send in Weinstein off have to get therapy

168
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: for You're gonna get individual treatment. There's so much more

169
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: to this story that is going to be coming out.

170
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: You just you don't want to miss what we're going

171
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: to be doing on Monday. TikTok, TikTok, you don't want

172
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: to miss what we're going to be doing on Monday.

173
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: For all my Twitter followers, you understand, I've never ever

174
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: let you down. TikTok. It's coming and it's gonna be huge,

175
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. But there's a massive double stams,

176
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: massive hypocrisy here. Massive. You know, anytime a conservat even

177
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: an accusation against a conservative, you know, it doesn't matter.

178
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable the things that are said about conservatives, and

179
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: they run with it. In this case, we know it's

180
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: true because the creep admits he's a creep. So there's

181
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: no ambiguity in this case, and the silence has been deafening.

182
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Now let me go to what we know about what's

183
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: happening with NBC News. They actually have a long history

184
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: at NBC News of deep sixing scandals, sex scandals of democrats.

185
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: You know, there was an interesting moment. I don't know

186
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: this guy, Ronan Pharaoh. I guess it's Mia Pharaoh's son

187
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and Woody Allen's son. Wood he's another creep. Into his credit,

188
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's distanced himself from his creepy father.

189
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: It's not his fault, as father's a creep, and he

190
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: stood up for his sister apparently might have had something happened.

191
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't know the whole story. I don't follow this

192
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: crap because it just is horrible anyway, So he's on

193
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: NBC the other night, and he insisted the story was reportable.

194
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: He gave it to NBC News. NBC News spiked it.

195
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: The New York Times. A woman says she had the story,

196
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and the New York Times spiked the story. And in

197
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: the case of NBC News, it's not the first time

198
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: they killed a report in this particular case. Now Weinstein's

199
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: being accused of a rape allegation. Three of them in fact,

200
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: but your members that Lisa Myers went and interviewed one

201
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Aida Brodericks. She had the first interview with one Aida.

202
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: I had the second interview with one Aida Broderick, and

203
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Janita was one of the most believable people I've ever known.

204
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: And that's why this love of Hollywood, of the Clintons

205
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: is just so inconsistent with what they say that their

206
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: values are. Anyway, the timing was crucial in the case

207
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: of Lisa Meyer's interview. Was the height of the Monica

208
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: Lewinsky scandal. The House that just impeached Clinton. The Senate

209
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: trial hadn't happened yet, Rumors about Broderick's account were running rampant.

210
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: Democrats feared the story would would blow up the Clinton

211
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: defense strategy that Monica will Lensky Lewinsky was bad and

212
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't criminal and it was just about sex. And

213
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: then incomes one Aida Broderick and then they killed the story.

214
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: They were spiking the interview. Finally wanted to Broderick asked

215
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Lisa Myers, what's going on? Then Myers broke the news

216
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: to her. She said, the good news is you're credible,

217
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: and she says, the bad news is you're too credible.

218
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: An NBC News didn't want to run it because it

219
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: was a Democrat. It's just it's so disgusting and so

220
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: despicable what goes on there. You know, Hillary left a

221
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: major loophole, by the way, yesterday in her pledge to

222
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: return Weinstein's money, you know, ten percent. She says she

223
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: always gives the charity. Okay, what does that mean? I

224
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: gave I give ten percent of my income to charity

225
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: every year. This will be part of that. Well, that

226
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're giving all the money back. And then

227
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the Democratic's pathetic attempt to, you know, try and tie

228
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: this to Trump. Well, let's let's let's talk about Russia.

229
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about you know, what happened with access Hollywood. Really,

230
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: how about we talk about your hypocrisy for ones. Let's

231
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: stay on that way. Do you hear my monologue tonight?

232
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: I am going to be firing on all cylinders. I

233
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: prom you all right. Eight hundred nine four one SEAWAN

234
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: is our toll free telephone number. You want to be

235
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Well, a president did something

236
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: today on healthcare that I think is going to have

237
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: a major impact if it's if we're able to sustain

238
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: what is predictably going to happen, and that is they're

239
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: going to go judge shopping, probably somewhere in San Francisco, Oakland,

240
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: that area where the Ninth Circuit has some jurisdiction. Then

241
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a liberal judge. They'll get the liberal

242
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: judge to say, oh, what the President did is is

243
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: not constitutional? And then the Ninth Circuit who gets overturned

244
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: I guess somewhere around the eighty percent of the time rating.

245
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Then they're going to weigh in. And then after that,

246
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: hopefully the Supreme Court will weigh in. And it's going

247
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: to be basically, it will allow it'll allow you to

248
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: join a cooperative, it'll allow you to join an association

249
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: for example, everybody that works in restaurants. It's already law,

250
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of big corporations already do this. They're

251
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: able to because they have businesses in different states Ohio,

252
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: New York, Texas, California. They're able to buy their insurance

253
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: for their employees at one state and then apply it

254
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: to all their employees across state lines. Now, all this

255
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: is going to do is allow you if you, let's

256
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: say you work in the restaurant business. What twenty million

257
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Americans work in the restaurant business, Why can't they form

258
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: an association, go out there and buy their own insurance.

259
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter what the ACA mandates are, meaning

260
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: the Obamacare mandates are, It doesn't matter whatever the state

261
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: mandates are. That you will be able to get your

262
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: insurance because legally it is the law and has been

263
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the law since nineteen seventy four. And now the President

264
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: is expanding so that anybody that's a part of a

265
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: group or association would be able to do such. And

266
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: that includes well offering variations on different plans. Maybe some

267
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: plans are just a catastrophic plan. Maybe some plans, you know,

268
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: facilitate the groups like we have in Wichita, Atlas MD,

269
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: the cooperatives where you pay an X amount of month

270
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: and you couple it with a catastrophic plan and then

271
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: God forbids something really bad happens. You're covered, but your

272
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: day to day care is taken care of at a

273
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: low price with access to your doctor twenty four seven.

274
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Or maybe also let's say everybody that works in radio,

275
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity will go negotiate with ETNA, United and Blue Cross,

276
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: Blue Shield, And doesn't matter what you do in radio,

277
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: or whether you work in sales, management, engineering, whether a

278
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: producer or a host. I'll go negotiate for every radio

279
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: personality in the country, everyone that works in radio, and

280
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: we'd be able to then with our buying power, get

281
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: a low rate, more options, better plans, better insurance. This

282
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: is like, it's all because the Senate sucks and Mitch

283
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: McConnell can't get a torn thing done. Rand Paul will

284
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: weigh in on it all right, twenty five till the

285
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four or one, Shawn,

286
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.

287
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: The President's economic plan to me is one that it's

288
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: not perfect, but it seems as close to Reagan asked

289
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: Kennedy esque, as we're gonna get. There was a great

290
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: piece I think Larry Cudlow was it in yesterday's Wall

291
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Street Journal. We've had him on so many times. He

292
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: written this book. And if you want to know about

293
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: the Kennedy tax cuts and the Reagan tax cuts, and

294
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I'll use the case of Reagan. Because I was only

295
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: young and born in nineteen sixty one, I know it

296
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: much better. But I've only studied the Kennedy years. But

297
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: Reagan dropped the top marginal rates from seventy to twenty

298
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: eight percent and got us out of a very deep procession.

299
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Remember when he took over the economy, interest rates were

300
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: double digit, unemployment twenty one and a half percent, I mean,

301
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: inflation just off the hook, out of control. You know,

302
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: people were saying at the time they didn't think the

303
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: government was even governable by one president at that time.

304
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: And lo and behold, after eight years lowering the top

305
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: marginal rate seventy to twenty eight percent, well, we literally

306
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: created twenty one million new jobs, We double revenues to

307
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: the federal government, and it was the longest period of

308
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: peacetime economic growth to that point in our modern history.

309
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: The same thing is going to work here. And this

310
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: is what the President said. He said it's really eight

311
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: brackets to four, seven to three, which was part of

312
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: his campaign promise. He is going to allow and it's

313
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: going to be for working class, middle class tax cuts,

314
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: which are key to all of this, because the middle

315
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: class the people. Look, if seventy percent of Americans pay,

316
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: if ten percent of Americans pay seventy percent of the bill,

317
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: you have redistribution. When the bottom fifty percent of Americans

318
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: pay no federal income tax, okay, they're not paying You're

319
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to make twenty four thousand dollars

320
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: a year as a couple and not pay a penny

321
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: in federal income tax. You're not being taxed at that

322
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: point because you're not And I'll tell you why. You're

323
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: not making enough money to be taxed, and you shouldn't

324
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: be taxed. And nobody's saying you should be taxed. But

325
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: the people in the middle, the couples that are making

326
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy to say, two hundred and fifty thousand

327
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: dollars a year, well, they're bearing a big cost in

328
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: the brun because that is the average person, that's the

329
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: middle class. In America. Now, then when you add their

330
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: state taxes and federal taxes and fight at taxes and

331
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: the sales taxes and taxes because you breathe, and every

332
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: other tax that they want to put on you. And then,

333
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: by the way, if you save a few bucks and

334
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: you die, then they want to tax you again and

335
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: steal half of it after that. Anyway, so it's going

336
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: to bring as the President was saying last night, it's

337
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest tax cut in American history.

338
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: Here's the if if Congress can get it done. You

339
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: know what he was able to do today, it will

340
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: eliminate the Obamacare insurance rules and in many ways, it's

341
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: undermining the whole premise of Obamacare in many ways. You know.

342
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: It is the biggest step to keeping his promise, and

343
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: that is his directive to allow people to form associations,

344
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: cooperatives and buy across state lines. This is massive, and

345
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: this deals with a seventy four law and it's actually legal.

346
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: And corporations that have have health insurance have offices in

347
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: individual states. They can get the state they can already

348
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: by across state lines. They already can do that, which

349
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: we've been saying. We all all ought to be able

350
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: to do. Now, all you really have to do is

351
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: former good association. I'd say everybody that works and restaurants

352
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: will start there. Anyone that works in manufacturing will start there.

353
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Anyone that works in any one industry that is in

354
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: all fifty states. Let's pick radio and TV, and I'm

355
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: talking about you know, everybody from the receptionist straight on

356
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: through the engineers to the producers to the end. You know,

357
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: everybody salespeople on air talent. Everybody ought to get the

358
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: same plan. If you negotiate as a group like that,

359
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: and you form an association, and you can buy the

360
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: plan in any state and it would apply to people

361
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: in all these different states, then you literally wash away

362
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: and push away all individual state laws on healthcare and

363
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: the burdens of mandatory regulations of Obamacare. And you're gonna,

364
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: just by virtue of the fact you're doing that, drop

365
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: the prices immediately. Then the prices are going to be

366
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: dropped infinitely further because you're buying as a big group now,

367
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: not the individual mandate or the employer mandate. So you

368
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: won't be forced into a cooperative one of one choice

369
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: that you have in your state or your County. This

370
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: is a big deal what the President did here, and

371
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: the only reason he had to do it is because

372
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Congress sucks and they couldn't do their job anyway. So

373
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: it is now a huge boost to healthcare cooperatives that

374
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: will have the opportunity. It's not going to be able

375
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: to be implemented immediately because you have different cabinet agencies

376
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: that have to develop and implement the rules involved in this.

377
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: That could take some time, but it's the process now

378
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: beginning that hey, we can really lower people's premiums, give

379
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: them better care, better choices, better options, and allow the

380
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: free market to kick in. So I think anybody that

381
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: works in any industry, you better be thinking about picking

382
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: one person to be your lead and picking out what

383
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: healthcare you have for your association. And that means you'll

384
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: be able to do it in fairly short order. Why

385
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: do I think that it's going to end up being me?

386
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: I just feel I can feel it. Nobody else is

387
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: going to want to do this. I would want everybody

388
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: that works in any aspect of radio and television to

389
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: have the right to buy a plan. Could you imagine

390
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: the buying power and you buy the plan in Mississippi

391
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: or Alabama, and you get a company that can provide

392
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: and then you give options. Okay for young people that

393
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: are you know, twenty two to thirty five, they only

394
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: want a catastrophic plan. Then they can find a health

395
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: doctor cooperative like doctor Rumber in Wichita have unlimited care

396
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: for when they stubbed their tow or they need a

397
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: flu shot, or they needed to check up once a year.

398
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: But they're generally healthy. But the catastrophic insurance relatively inexpensive

399
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: based on what your deductible is. Then you're able to,

400
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, have insurance if the God forbid thing happens

401
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: heart attack, cancer, bad accident, and everybody's better off. It's

402
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: called a solution to a big problem healthcare. And while

403
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: your premiums have gone up eight thousand dollars, imagine if

404
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: your premiums would go down five thousand dollars and you'd

405
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: have a better choice of care. I mean, it's all

406
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: this is so stupidly easy on the one hand, and

407
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: they make it so complicated on the other hand. So anyway,

408
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: so that would be what the President did. Here is

409
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: no small deal. The President talked at length about the

410
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: repatriation money that's brought back the corporate tax. Now, why

411
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: do we want multinationals too that are parked? Why why

412
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: are multinationals parking their money overseas? Why are they parking

413
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: them in what we call tax havens? Belize you keep

414
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: hearing about beliefs, anyone ever hear Belize you know or

415
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: any of these these small you know, neivous saying kits.

416
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: I know people that have gotten dual citizenship in these countries.

417
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: You know why to put their money there? You know why?

418
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: Because it makes sense. I know people that have dual

419
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: citizenship with Ireland for that reason. And it's all because

420
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: the government through there, through their burdensome regulation, their high

421
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: confiscatory taxation, are forcing people to find creative legal ways

422
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: to save more money. So the reason multinationals have trillions

423
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: of dollars parked in other countries within not going to

424
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: build there. It's for a very simple reason, because they

425
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: can't build there, They're not going to have the workforce

426
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: the ability to get the job. In America, we can

427
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: get the job done. So you allow them to bring

428
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: this money back trillions of dollars attacks that at a

429
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: low rate, the President said, somewhere around ten percent, and

430
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: all that money not going to put it in a

431
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: bank account. They're not stupid. These are companies. They are

432
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: They have a fiduciary responsibility to make money for their

433
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: shareholders and everybody else that invest in them. And so

434
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: they're going to end up building factories and manufacturing centers.

435
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: All right, what does that mean? That means the building

436
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: trades are going to be doing great. That means people

437
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: that need factory jobs are going to be doing great.

438
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: Those that work and manufacturing centers are going to be

439
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: doing great. And if they really build big businesses, well

440
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: they're going to be hiring millions of people. And then

441
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: we brought up the issue of energy, and all the

442
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: millions of energy jobs are out there once America's committed,

443
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: which this president seemed to be last night and all

444
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: throughout the campaign, because he opened up a war finally,

445
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: and now he's lessen the burdensome rules and coal and fracking.

446
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: The people in Pennsylvania literally they're putting pipes in the

447
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: ground and they're robbing New York gas. They're just smart.

448
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: And New York has could create Upstate. New York is

449
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: literally in an economic depression. And New York is so

450
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: stupid they're neighboring state Pennsylvania. They literally are taking all

451
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: of that natural gas, and they've created thousands and thousands

452
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: of high paying career jobs for people. And they could

453
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: do it in New York and revitalize all of upstate

454
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: New York. I've gone up there. My kids play tennis

455
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: tournaments like ghost towns in parts of upstate New York.

456
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: It's horrible and it's all unnecessary. It's all because of

457
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: big government. Anyway, we talked to President. Talked a lot

458
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: about the NFL, We talked a lot about the economy.

459
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: We talked about this new healthcare deal. He talked about,

460
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to desertify at least the Iranian deal.

461
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: He may pull out of it all together. He wouldn't

462
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: give the answer. He wouldn't give an answer specifically what

463
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: he would do with North Korea. I asked him about

464
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: his cryptic message that he had, which is the calm

465
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: before the storm that scared the crap out of everybody

466
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: in media. It's just like everybody in the media is

467
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: all freaked out now because he said, well, fake news,

468
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: maybe we should look at their licenses. No, No, I

469
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: think he really means it. No, he's totally messing with

470
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: their heads. That's my take on it. And you know,

471
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: Fake Jake Tapper holds up the constitution for the first

472
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: Fake Jake. The poor guy is so desperate, his ratings

473
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: are so bad. He's had such little success that Fake

474
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: Jake is out there every day now he's training. He

475
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: reminds me of a local talk show host. Let me

476
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: tell you what it was, what it's like if and whatever.

477
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: I've driven around the country, I'll find any talk station

478
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: and when you get to these really small markets. And

479
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: they got that one local guy and then a bunch

480
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: of syndicated hosts arounding him. And I'm not being critical

481
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: because I was this guy. I know what it's like

482
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: to do a show on a Saturday for three hours

483
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: and there's no phone calls. It actually made me a

484
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: better host because now I can talk forever. And you know,

485
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: when I got to the end of the third hour

486
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July and they didn't have many

487
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: commercials that day, basically three straight hours me talk. I

488
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: was doing movie reviews of movies I hadn't seen because

489
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: I had nothing left in the tank and nothing of

490
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: importance to say, and research wasn't like it is today.

491
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean I had two local papers, I'd go buy

492
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: the national papers and anything that I can think of

493
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: in my head. That might be a good point anyway.

494
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: But you'll listen to this talk show hosts and they

495
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: what they do is they'd start out to do their

496
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: opening monologue, and you know, different levels of professionalism. Let's

497
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: put it that way. Some are very good, some are

498
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: need work and they're just starting out. Nobody's good when

499
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: you're starting this business. Everyone thinks it's easy. It's not.

500
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: It's harder than most people think anyway. So then he'll

501
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: say something just and if you disagree with me, here's

502
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the phone number, and then you can tell. Then he

503
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: kind of is running out of things to say on

504
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: that topic, but he really wants phone calls. And then

505
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: he just gets a little bit more incendiary, and then

506
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: he's still not getting any calls. Then he gets a

507
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: little more incendiary, and then he's written and by the

508
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: end of it, he's screaming like a maniac until finally

509
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: people notice him. Now it's not the ideal way to

510
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: do a show. I'm just I'm using this as an example.

511
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, all of these people have nothing to say,

512
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: they get no attention. They've been proven to be liars.

513
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: The people have no faith or trust because you can't

514
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: fake it every day. I can promise you this. I'm

515
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: on the air four hours a day. I can't fake it.

516
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: I am who I am? I couldn't be when we

517
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: come back. By the way, this is Alec Baldwin. Great, well,

518
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: this is UH where we take some calls Ivan whenever

519
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: we want. Do we have calls that are on there now?

520
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Calls yet? No calls yet? What number do people call

521
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: to get on the air? I mean, do we have

522
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: that number? It's right there, you know. Do I have

523
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: a call number in front of me? Oh, I'm so sorry.

524
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Interesting at twelve ten at PHT of course,

525
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: any other questions you have, any other comments you have,

526
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: call us um to the what else? Call us please

527
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: at one ten now, Um. If you don't call, we're

528
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna keep reading from the Scientology manual. You might not

529
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: feel it. You might not feel the energy right now,

530
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: you might not feel the swell of what's happening here.

531
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: We have any calls yet? There Ivan, no calls. Let's

532
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: speak some more about scientology. Is Sean Hannity a scientologist.

533
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin posing the big questions tonight here. Do we

534
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: have any calls here yet? Ivan? None? Boy, it's just incredible, unbelievable. Well,

535
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: you leave us no choice listeners. That is an accurate

536
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: tape that happened. That was Alec Baldwin without a script.

537
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: That was Alec Baldwin trying to be a talk show host.

538
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: It was almost a caricature. Remember years ago, Rush did

539
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: this thing that Tom Dashrell show. If I remember hearing

540
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: it for the first time, I'm crying. And then Alec

541
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: actually did the Tom Dashrell Show. That's interesting. It's just interesting.

542
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: And he calls yet Ivan, Oh yeah, yeah. Now I'm

543
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: only playing that because some of you might be thinking, oh,

544
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: you're just making this. I'm telling you, I know how

545
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: these these hosts minds work. I come in with enough

546
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: material to do ten straight hours every day. My frustration

547
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: every day is I don't get in what I want

548
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: to get in. These guys don't want to work that hard,

549
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: because there is a way to do a great show

550
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: every day with all the news that's out there. You

551
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: don't have to get that incendiary to get intention fake Jake,

552
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: And maybe if you tell the truth a little more

553
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: and you challenge your network to tell the truth a

554
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: little more, maybe you'll be a little more successful just

555
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the thought honesty might work. Hard work might work. Actually,

556
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: given free advice to our competition, I'll will continue back.

557
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: Obama was the first president in history that never hit

558
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: three percent GDP growth in a single year of his presidency,

559
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: which I think speaks volumes. Well, you know when I

560
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: took over, Yeah, we were in the ones. And if

561
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: we hit think of this, if we hit just one point,

562
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: if we go up from two to three, we pick

563
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: up two point five trillion dollars two point five trillion treasury,

564
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: and we pick up millions of jobs. So what it

565
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: pays for the whole thing? Our goals. So I think

566
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to incentivize those trillions to come back here

567
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: with the low repatriation rate. How low will that be

568
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: and how much do you think you can bring back

569
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: into the United States? And what does it mean? Okay,

570
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: so right now you have probably and nobody knows the

571
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: exact number because it's I actually think it's much higher

572
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: than people understand, but it will probably be over three

573
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: trillion dollars is outside of our country and our companies

574
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: and they just can't get it back. They're trying, but

575
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: they can't get it back. Number one, it's a bureaucratic mess.

576
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Number two, the tax rate is so high it doesn't

577
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: make sense. So what they do is they invested in

578
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Europe and other places where the money is. And I'll

579
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: tell you what they do. Also, they leave the country

580
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: because the money becomes so much and so valuable to

581
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: them that they leave the country, our country to go

582
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: and get their money. So they leave the country and

583
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: they fire everybody. Now, what we're doing is we're lowering

584
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: the rate so they can bring it back in. We're

585
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: giving them a shot to bring all that money. It's

586
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: all going to come back in. It's going to come

587
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: back in immediately. It's going to be more than three

588
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Probably. We're looking at a ten percent rate.

589
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: It may be around that number, maybe a little higher,

590
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: maybe a little lower, but it's going to be right

591
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: around that number, probably ten percent. And right now what

592
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: it is is thirty five percent plus. Now, who's going

593
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: to bring money back when you have to pay by

594
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: the time, you finish almost half of your money in tax.

595
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: So they were going to bring it back, So we're

596
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna have that money come back in. It's going to

597
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: put people to work so fast, and the money itself

598
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: is going to go to work very fast. And you know,

599
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: say what you want about Democrats and Republicans. For years,

600
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: years and years, everybody's wanted to do Then you have

601
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars outside of our country offshore, and the

602
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted it back, the Republicans wanted it back. Everybody

603
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: wanted it back, and they couldn't do it. They couldn't

604
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: get a deal. We're going to do a deal, and

605
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: we're putting it down as part of our tax cuts.

606
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: All right now to Sean Hannity show. That was the

607
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: President last night as we interviewed him about his economic

608
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: plan that was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania last A lot of

609
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: truckers are the day last night, and I was kidding

610
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: around with one of them. I said to them, you

611
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: know how when I get stuck behind like a couple

612
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: of you know, eighteen wheelers on a rainy, rainy highway,

613
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: I said, you know, and you splashing all of that

614
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: water on my windshields and I can't see. I always

615
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: stop to think what's in that truck that I want?

616
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: Because there's always something in there that I'm gonna want

617
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: or need. And but for the guys that deliver worked

618
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: the roads overnight. Such a hard job being a trucker.

619
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: You got to load those suckers up. You got to

620
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: bring him to the place to reload get back. You know,

621
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: you cost per mile. It burdened some regulation. It's really hard.

622
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: But I met some very cool people there. Anyway, joining

623
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: us now, Former Speaker of the House New Gingrich is

624
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: with us. By the way, his brand new book is out.

625
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: It's doing very well on Amazon. It's called Vengeance, and

626
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: it's basically taken from the headlines novel that I started

627
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: reading and I really can't put it down. And welcome back.

628
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: How are you. Well, it's great and it sounds like

629
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, I was born in Hashburg, so it sounds

630
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: like you had a great time. In fact, I'm going

631
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: to go there for my niece's Lauren is getting married

632
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'll be back in Hashburg. Sound like you

633
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: had a great time there, Yeah, well I really did.

634
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: And you know what, as the President said last night,

635
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: this is the heart and soul of America. These are

636
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: people that work hard, play by the rules, make this

637
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: a better country. They raise their families, obey the laws,

638
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: pay their taxes, and make and just make it a

639
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: better the world a better place. I like you, I

640
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: am not as optimistic. The President laid out a great

641
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: plan last night. I'm not as optimistic as i'd like

642
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: to be that this is all going to get done.

643
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: It's all going to come down to the Senate and

644
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: finding fifty votes, and I think the House is going

645
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: to pass it. I think Paul Ryan will have done

646
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: his job, and now we got to find a way

647
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: to get to fifty votes. To center. But I must

648
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: say I thought the President was selling about as well

649
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: as I've heard him in a long time. I thought

650
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: he's on his top, he knows it, he understands it,

651
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: he's enthusiastic, and I thought it was very effective on

652
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: your show. I thought he was too And this is

653
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: what we need done. Now. You have asked, for example,

654
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: the President and Bob Corker to stop having intramural battles

655
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: and intramural fights. Okay, I think if, but doesn't don't

656
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: the people in the Senate now realize that I walked

657
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: around the crowd last night for an hour, and I'd

658
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: interviewed people. We're going to show some of those interviews tonight,

659
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: and I asked people basically three questions what they thought

660
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: of the president. All Right, it might be a biased

661
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: crowd there to see the president. And then it was

662
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly positive, no negatives. Then I asked about Congress. It

663
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: was almost universally negative. And then I asked about the media,

664
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: and you can predict the media's response. All right, but

665
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: but you know, Mitch McConnell has an eighteen percent approval

666
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: reading in his home state. I mean, the Congress has

667
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: a simple cure pass the Tacksville. They passed a really

668
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: big sax cut and people see it and feel it

669
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: in their pocket. That's going to have a direct, decisive impact.

670
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: And Congress's ratings are going to go up. If McConnell,

671
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: as the apparently is working on it, starts getting a

672
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: bunch of conservative judges approved, their ratings are going to

673
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: go up. I think people are reacting to what they

674
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: see and people want action. You know the uh You've

675
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: heard me say that if you're going to drain the swamp,

676
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: the alligators are going to fight back, which is true.

677
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: But people are cheering for draining the swamp. They're not

678
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: cheering for the alligators. I think, no, exactly. That's a

679
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: big thing for this, a big thing for Republicans in

680
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: the Senator remember, and frankly for Democrats to remember. I mean,

681
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: I like the more the President talks about, you know,

682
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Democrats the sax cut too. Well, let's put some pressure

683
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: in the Democrats. How does the elect mention? You know,

684
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: with the president having carried to See by a huge margin,

685
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: doesn't Eve want at least think about voting for this?

686
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: And I think their number of Democratic senators who might

687
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: take a look at this thing and suddenly you may

688
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: have a little extra margin than you thought you did. Now,

689
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: so how does this get done between now and Christmas

690
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: or now and Thanksgiving? Well, the Senate's got to pass

691
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: the budget resolution. That means you can then pass the

692
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: Senate the tax bill with fifty votes. The House is

693
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: apparently ready to start marking up the bill, and ways

694
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: it means now, which is about within a week of

695
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: what Ryan's schedule oversin was. The next thing is to

696
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: get Senator Hash to agree that as soon as the

697
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: bills marked up in the House, he'll start marking it

698
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: up in the Senate. And the President and Miss McConnell

699
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: they got to put all these petty things aside. They

700
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: got to decide they're on the same team. They got

701
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: to sit down with guys like Corker and get things

702
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: worked out, talk it through, and they got to build

703
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: fifty plus votes. And then, frankly, I think they should

704
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: go and put some real pressure on the swing Democrats

705
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: in the ten states that are up for reelection that

706
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: Trump carried and see if they can't push five or

707
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: six of them to voting yes. And there's no reason

708
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: this has to be a cliffhanger. This is a good

709
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: tax cut bill. The President, I think, is a good

710
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: salesman for it, the country wants it. Who's going to

711
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: be overwhelming support for tax cuts. And I think you

712
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: can make a pretty simple case. You know, you want

713
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: more money in your pocket or more money in Washington.

714
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: And I think the Democrats are going to pay a

715
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: real cost if they say no, no, you know, the

716
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: money belongs to the swamp. The money doesn't belong to you.

717
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: I thought one of the more interesting parts of the

718
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: discussion because basically the plan is what he ran on,

719
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: with the exception of the corporate rate going to twenty percent,

720
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: and Paul Ryan and others convinced, and that's the only

721
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: rate they're going to be able to get based on

722
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: pass laws, a reconciliation in the Senate, etc. And I'm like, Okay,

723
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: it gets complicated, I understand, But every other part of it,

724
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: it's interesting that when it's still it's still a cut

725
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: from thirty five to twenty and then puts it slightly

726
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: below the world rate, which is twenty two. I mean,

727
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: it's if he gets a twenty percent corporate rate and

728
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: they get a big pass through for small business, and

729
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: they get a middle context, and they get this money

730
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: back from overseas, that's a pretty big win. Well, I

731
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: think it's a really big win because there's a win

732
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: for the American people. The repatriation is going to put

733
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: trillions back in the economy. Also, we're going to get

734
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: a lot of money back in the economy because corporations

735
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: will now start investing in factories and manufacturing centers. Then

736
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: you're going to have the middle class with on average

737
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: about a two thousand dollars per family reduction in their

738
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: taxes every year. That's serious, serious money. So I think

739
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: it's all good. Yeah, And that's why I've said, You've

740
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: heard me say, now for six months. The key test

741
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: is getting this tax go through, getting as signed into law,

742
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: preferably by Thanksgiving, so that they have a big impact

743
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: in the first and second quarters. If we can run

744
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: for reelection and eighteen is the Party of Jobs and

745
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: prosperity and take on Bay. We got a pretty good

746
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: thing to argue. And then but then'm going to go

747
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: back and clean up healthcare. We got to do something infrastructure.

748
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: But the whole centerpiece of this game is the tax cuts. Yeah, well,

749
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: if I think that's true, buy a million percentage points

750
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: that's true. What about what the president did on healthcare today?

751
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: I think what he did was absolutely brilliant and what

752
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: he's allowing to have happened, and he's using a loophole

753
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: the corporations of use since the nineteen seventy four and

754
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: that is that if you're a corporation and you have

755
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: offices in different states, you're allowed to buy insurance for

756
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: your entire corporate team. And that means all of your

757
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: workers across state lines one plan. You're not beholden to

758
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: state laws, and in this case, you won't behold into

759
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: Obamacare or ACA regulations. So that would mean that somebody

760
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: that a group of people that work in the National

761
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: Restaurant Association coast to coast. They would be able to

762
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: across state lines with the buying power of a big

763
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: group and the competition that would be associated by going

764
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: to any state that they wanted to go to. Well,

765
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: I think I think it's said great potential. I think

766
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: that you've got I've always been for association health plans.

767
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: I think you could have the National Federation with kind

768
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: of businesses, the American Farm Bureau. You suddenly have lots

769
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: of people who have been trapped in the individual market

770
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: could now join their association by collectively bring down their costs,

771
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: increased competition, increase desirability of working with it. There'll be

772
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: a lot of details to work out, but I think

773
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: it's exactly the right direction. And I think five or

774
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: six big steps like this will help start help fixing

775
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: the health system. Despite the inability of the Congress to

776
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: appeal Obamacare now well, and that's been a big obstacle

777
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: to them. What do you think of this whole Harvey

778
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: Weinstein issue in this sense that the criticism the number

779
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: one that you had, The New York Times in NBC

780
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: have opportunities to break this story wide open, and they

781
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: buried it. Then you've got every Democratic politician they've buried it.

782
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: Then you find out everybody, everybody in Hollywood knew about

783
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: his atrocious behavior and nobody spoke up. Look, I think

784
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: there's there's a culture of sickness on the left and

785
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: that they protect each other and they cover for each other.

786
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: And you're seeing it be in the breakdown in Silicon Valley,

787
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: You're seeing it be in the break down uh uh

788
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And I think it's going to continue to happen.

789
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: But also, as you point out, there's a fascinating study

790
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: here of the pathology of the news media. I mean

791
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: NBC not just this story, but in a whole series

792
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: of things, and has been very strange recently and and uh,

793
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: you know the degree to which the NBC went off

794
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: the deep end. I've done control for example. Uh, it

795
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: was very very odd. And uh, I think that that

796
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: that the Harry Weinstein story. It makes it interesting to

797
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: me is it's it's it's this dual story. It's both

798
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: a story about this guy who's who's clearly an exploiter

799
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: and a blackmailer and a guy who buys off people.

800
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: But it's also the story of the culture around him

801
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: and around him and the way it was manipulated. I mean,

802
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: somebody's going to do a great book that pieces all

803
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: this stuff together and it's going to be shocking how

804
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: thick the system was. And it's a it's a further

805
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: step in undermining the American publish belief in the news

806
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: media because you now know that there are lots of

807
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: people who had a really powerful, explosive story and they

808
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: sat on it. They refuse to do it. It's really said,

809
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: all right, stay right there. Former Speaker of the House,

810
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: New king Ridge's new book is out. It's called Vengeance,

813
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000

00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: the Speaker when he's out and about around the country.

815
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Right as we continue, former Speaker of the House New

816
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: king Ridge with us as brand new book. Now. It's

817
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot Com. It's called Vengeance and in

818
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: bookstores everywhere. Ram Paul, who encouraged the President on this

819
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: new change to the healthcare system, is going to join us.

820
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: We'll get his take. So if you were to move forward.

821
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: You really believe everything is now coming down to this

822
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: tax bill. And I'm a Reagan I was trained by

823
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan in in nineteen eighty one. They knew that

824
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: the key to get in the economy ruling was a

825
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: gigantic tax bill, and for eight months they didn't do

826
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: or talk about anything else. They understood that. So last

827
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: night's speech was great, last night's interview with you was great.

828
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: You should give nothing but tax and economic growth and

829
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: take home pay speeches and interviews him now till the

830
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: bill passes. Yeah, there is nothing. What's your secondary When

831
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: you're faced with something which is this important? You have

832
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: to win? Yeah, well, I agree. I mean you have

833
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: to win. Do you have to win it this year?

834
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: My argument is yes, yes, And and that means you

835
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: got to focus and be disciplined and stay on the topic.

836
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: And you got to recognize you need at least fifty

837
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: votes in the Senate, and you got to go out

838
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: here and even if you had arguments with people about

839
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: other issues, you got to find some common ground to

840
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: bring them together. No, and it's you know, do you

841
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: think is there any president? But it's not complicated. The

842
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: President seemed confident that some Democrats would go along. I

843
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: don't see it. Well, I don't know. I mean, I

844
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: think if this is where I think the President ought

845
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: to be barmstorming. You know, he ought to be in

846
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: every one of those states that has a senator that

847
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: with a state voter for Trump, and he should be

848
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: explaining for that state what the tax said bill is

849
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: going to mean for you know, just just for Wisconsin,

850
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: best for Michigan, dest for Pennsylvania, just Westword, just from Missouri,

851
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: just for Indiana, just for North Dakota, just for from

852
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: from Mona. All of a sudden, those local Democrats and

853
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: now got a problem because now they have their small

854
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: business people coming to them, They got their farmers coming

855
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: to them, they got workers coming to them saying, hey,

856
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: why are you against my getting a tax cut. I'm

857
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: confident the House is going to get this done. I'm

858
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: not confident in the Senate. Have you talked to any senators.

859
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: I talked a bunch of senators. I think I think

860
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a belief that it can be done, but

861
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: it's hard. The Senate's a very different place than the House. Uh.

862
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: And I think that the each individual senator has a

863
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: very important sense of importance. Uh. The system was designed

864
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: for that. They're only a hundred of them. Uh and

865
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: they and each one of them knows that they matter.

866
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: Uh and uh you know they many of them have

867
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: very strong opinion. You're gonna have a guy on today

868
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: who really is helping change history round Paul. I mean,

869
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: he has been the champion of these association health plans.

870
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: Here's a great article out today, by the way, explaining

871
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: why Trump was right and explaining why it's helping the

872
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: American people. Yeah. Well, man, Paul's got his own strong,

873
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: unique idea. There are a bunch of guys, all right,

874
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: I gotta let me let me ask this. So you're

875
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: going on a little bit of a book tour where

876
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, book Vengeance. Where are you going to be? Well,

877
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be Uh. We just did a great book

878
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: signing a snight. We're going to be in Harrisburg, and

879
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: then we're going to be next weekend a couple of season.

880
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: I honestly don't have the list in front of me.

881
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you from Toronto, where I'm doing the

882
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: Monk Debate tonight, which is three thousand and aliens. Uh.

883
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: You can imagine the degree to which they're probably not

884
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: pro Trump. Uh, that's going to be great. One of

885
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: these that keeps life exciting. I have every confidence that

886
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: you'll you'll you'll be doing your thing and winning the

887
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: crowd over. I've been there when they're hostile, and you

888
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: do win them over, much to their reluctance. And sure

889
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: grinned all right, mister speaker, thanks for being with us.

890
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: Rand Paul, who pushed the President on those healthcare changes,

891
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: joining us next I became President of the United States.

892
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: I just keep hearing repeal replace, repeal replace. Well, we're

893
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: starting that process, and we're starting it in a very

894
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: positive manner. And I can say when you get Ran

895
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: Paul and you said it has to be positive that

896
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: I can tell you, boy, bred Now, I was just saying,

897
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: as he's getting up and saying all these wonderful things

898
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: about what we're going to be announcing, I said, boy,

899
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: that's pretty unusual. I'm very impressed. A few moments, I

900
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: will sign an executive order taking the first steps to

901
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: providing millions of Americans with Obamacare relief. It directs the

902
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services, the Treasury, and the

903
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: Department of Labor to take action to increase competition, increased choice,

904
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: and increase access to lower priced, high quality healthcare options.

905
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: And they will have so many options. This will cost

906
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: the United States government virtually nothing, and people will have great,

907
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: great healthcare. All right, twenty four now till the top

908
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred nine four one sewn told

909
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: free telephone number. You want to be a part of

910
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: the program. This is the President's biggest step yet to

911
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 1: carry out what is abroad directive that he is now

912
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: using in terms of eliminating and lessening Obamacare regulations and

913
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: hold over regulations that are stifling the health insurance industry,

914
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: and in many ways is what we've been talking about.

915
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: He had the authority to do it deals with a

916
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four law, and it's going to allow independent

917
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: groups and associations to go out and purchase care care

918
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: that they want not be impacted by individual state laws,

919
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: for example, that would otherwise not enable them to do

920
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: these things. One of its biggest proponents has explained it

921
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: on the program before He's with us, the Senator from

922
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: the great state of Kentucky ran Paulo's with us, not

923
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: the other senator from Kentucky. How are you hey, Sean. Yeah,

924
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: this is a big day for freedom, big day for

925
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: freedom of choice. We are really excited, and I think

926
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: there's a chance that millions of people who do not

927
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: have insurance currently would have access to inexpensive insurance once

928
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: this thing gets going. Why don't you explain the law

929
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: from seventy four and what this now will allow groups

930
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: associations of people in neighboring states or different states to

931
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: be able to do collectively, and what it means in

932
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: terms of eliminating the burdensome regulations of Obamacare. Well, the

933
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Losses nineteen seventy four has allowed corporations to buy insurance

934
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: across state line. So about half of the big companies

935
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: in our country already buy insurance across state lines, and

936
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: they use their buying power to get good insurance. And

937
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: what this will do is expand the notion of just

938
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: large businesses being able to do this, to allow associations

939
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: to do it, and there have been some in the past.

940
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: In fact, before I think it was nineteen ninety eight,

941
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: we got things like meta share and some of these

942
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: other things approved and then the government just sort of

943
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: changed their opinion and quit approving them. So, really, what

944
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: the President's doing today is looking back at the original

945
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: law and saying, you know what, the original law never

946
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: intended to prevent associations from forming. In fact, if you

947
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: look at the First Amendment to the Constitution, the First

948
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: Amendment says we have the right to peaceably assemble, and

949
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: that also involves association. So there've been a couple of

950
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: famous Supreme Court cases INACP versus Alabama said the NAACP

951
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: had the right to associate and to keep private roles.

952
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: There was also another case, Roberts versus the US JAC

953
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: said the same thing. You have the right to form

954
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: an association for economic benefits. It's basically a First Amendment right.

955
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: So I applaud the president. This was a I was

956
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: in Harrisburg with the President last night. I'm not sure

957
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: if you saw the interview, but he referred to this

958
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: action that he took today and said he would take

959
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: it today. And we were before a lot of a

960
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: lot of people in the trucking industry. So if there

961
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: are people in a trucking industry in Pennsylvania and in

962
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Ohio and in Michigan and Wisconsin, and they want to

963
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: create an association, then they would be able to buy

964
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: any insurance that works best for them and buy into it,

965
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: and then they would be able to buy across state

966
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: lines and they would not be subject to the individual

967
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: state burdens that are put on them, nor would they

968
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: be subject to the ACA rules and burdens that are

969
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: put on them. Most of the rules will be out

970
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: the window. You still, though, will have to accept all comers,

971
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: and you still have if someone has a pre existing condition,

972
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: you can't turn them down from joining your group. But

973
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: here's the really cool thing, Sean, this might not be

974
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: one hundred people in your group. What have you got

975
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: fifteen million people? The National Restaurant Association has a couple

976
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: of million restaurants and together they have about fifteen million,

977
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: maybe twenty million employees working in these restaurants. If one

978
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: person was able to negotiate for twenty million, instead of

979
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: us being beholden to the insurance companies, to big insurance,

980
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, big insurance is going to have

981
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 1: to come on bended need of the consumer, and they're

982
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: gonna have to negotiate with somebody who's got fifteen million customers.

983
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: And guess what, instead of the insurance companies squeezing us

984
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: all dry, I think we're going to get a better deal.

985
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: And even under Obamacare, you know, there are twenty eight

986
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: million people don't have insurance. There's a good chance that

987
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: through this policy, a lot of the uninsured are going

988
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: to be able to buy something and get something if

989
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: they're part of the working class today. What about catastrophic care,

990
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: which is the illegal under Obama Care. I think you'll

991
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: find more at varied policies. You might find some that

992
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: are catastrophic, but you also might find some. For example,

993
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: let's say I'm negotiating for fifteen million people and said

994
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: I want cheap insurance, I want inexpensive, and they said

995
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: we could do that, and I say, well, I've got

996
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: fifteen million people. I also want pregnancy coverage. I think

997
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: because of your sheer size, you're going to be able

998
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: to demand good cost and complete coverage. And would you

999
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: also be able to get different options for different plans.

1000
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: For example, somebody might just want the catastrophic plan because

1001
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: they're young and genuinely healthy, right, yeah, and you are

1002
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: free of some of the mandates of Obamacare. So we struggled.

1003
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: You know, we lost several people who said they were

1004
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: for repeal, and then they didn't vote for repeal. This

1005
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: actually does get us to where we don't have to

1006
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: have all these mandates on insurance that came from Obamacare.

1007
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: The mandates are what caused Obamacare premiums to go up,

1008
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: and so this is a way to get beyond Obamacare

1009
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: and allow people the freedom of choice to buy what

1010
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: they want at the cost they want. This has the

1011
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: potential to be amazing. So what's gonna happen though, and

1012
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: I think it fairly predictably. You're going to have democratic

1013
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: state attorney generals bringing lawsuits. Now, as you have studied

1014
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: and looked at this law as much as anybody, do

1015
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 1: you think they can have any success in the courts.

1016
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: We've had our lawyers read the initial law and we

1017
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: think the mistake wasn't in the law. We think that

1018
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. Of course we haven't seen the

1019
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: final ruling yet, but we think the ruling that expands

1020
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: the definition of who can join an association is consistent

1021
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: with the original law. We think the mistake came from

1022
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: Clinton and Bush and Obama interpreting the law incorrectly. So

1023
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: this is what's true of all laws. The laws get

1024
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: passed and they are basically a skeleton outline of what

1025
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: should be done, and then we assigned to these regulators

1026
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: all this power. But over time, most of the regulators

1027
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: are big government regulators. And we've never, I promise you,

1028
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: not since Reagan have we had a president who was

1029
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: bold enough to tell the regulators go fly a kite.

1030
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: I want you to look at the original law, not

1031
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: the previous regulators. Look at the original law and tell

1032
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: me why that it should be illegal for individuals to

1033
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: join a nationwide association. And what President Trump found is

1034
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: what we found. There is nothing in the original law

1035
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: that says that we should not be allowed to organize

1036
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: as consumers into law, as this group. What if I,

1037
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity wanted to organize everybody that works in radio,

1038
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: that means, you know, board operators, engineers, producers, executive producers,

1039
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: super high functioning executive producers, call screeners, salespeople. Would I

1040
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: be able to form an association and get everybody in

1041
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: radio that wanted to join up with me, and we

1042
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: can get one organized and negotiate with health insurers and

1043
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: get one big healthcare plan that we can have maybe

1044
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: options for I think you're gonna have to see the

1045
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: final rulings. I can't give you advice on forming that,

1046
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: but I can tell you that why would the National

1047
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: Restaurant Association be able to do it and not me?

1048
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,439
Speaker 1: But they probably can't. They probably can't, and I'm saying

1049
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: you probably could. I just can't give you legal eyes

1050
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: on forming him because I haven't seen the law. So

1051
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I know you've never been timid and

1052
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: shy and afraid of lawsuits before. Senator. Yeah. Now, now

1053
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm a frazee. I'm giving advice, and I don't think

1054
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: you're going to compensate me either. You're gonna send me

1055
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: a check for my advice? Absolutely absolutely not. You're our

1056
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: public servant. You're supposed to do this for free, giving

1057
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: you advice for free, and that is higher an attorney.

1058
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: That's the only device that can things. But the point,

1059
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: but let me say this, the bottom line is it's

1060
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: because Congress couldn't get the job done. Let's be blunt here.

1061
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's really pathetic that Mitch McConnell wasn't ready

1062
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: and had a consensus plan with every member of the

1063
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: Senate to get this done. That's kind of pathetic in

1064
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: my opinion. Well, you know, the way I look at

1065
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: it is. We promised to repeal it. Everybody says, oh,

1066
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: we promised to repeal it and replace it with some

1067
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: other big government program. We never promised to replace it

1068
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: with a big government program. From many of us. My

1069
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: idea replacement was legalizing choice like this, legalizing freedom to associate,

1070
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: legalizing the freedom to buy what insurance you wanted. But

1071
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: there was a promise to repeal, and it was a

1072
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: very strong promise, and everybody was on it. Fifty two fifty.

1073
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: I think, well, you know what's gonna happen. Three voted

1074
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: for it, but then we lost six or seven people.

1075
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: That's but you know what's gonna happen. They're gonna they're

1076
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna go judge shopping. This is gonna end up in

1077
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco somewhere, and then they're gonna done. But at

1078
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, that's where it's going.

1079
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: And now we're talking about how long before we could

1080
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: actually get this done. Well, we think that they're not

1081
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: going outside the law. We think they're being consistent with

1082
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: the law. Can you find liberal judges in California to

1083
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: rule on anything? Sure? But the other good news is

1084
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: is that as the Supreme Court looks right now, it's

1085
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: fairly evenly split, but I think slightly in our favor.

1086
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,959
Speaker 1: And there's always the possibility over the next several months

1087
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: or until something comes forward, that another justice will be appointed.

1088
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance at President Trump

1089
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: will appoint one, maybe two more justices in the next

1090
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: year or two. And if that happens, I think we're

1091
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna get a fair shake. All Right, they gotta take

1092
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: a break, we'll come back. We'll more with rand Paul,

1093
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: the Senator from the great state of Kentucky. All Right,

1094
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: as we continue, Senator Ran Paul from Kentucky is with

1095
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: us as the President now moves forward with his latest

1096
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: executive Border Now the biggest step to literally create a

1097
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: directive that allows for individ viduals and for associations to

1098
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: downform their own healthcare cooperatives, which would allow these cooperatives

1099
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: and associations to buy across state lines. And the executive action.

1100
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: It won't happen immediately because you have several cabinet agencies

1101
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: that got to develop the specific rules and implement the changes.

1102
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, this could be

1103
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: the secret sauce to circumvent a lot of burdensome state laws,

1104
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: especially in blue states, and burdensome regulations under Obamacare that

1105
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: would ostensibly render them meaningless. I want to ask you,

1106
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: as you know, it's kind of sad that the Congress

1107
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get this done. But this order or the President

1108
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: doesn't do everything. So the House and Senate still need

1109
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: work to do here on healthcare, don't they. Yeah, and

1110
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: there's still some things out there that are really good ideas.

1111
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: And some of these ideas actually, interestingly, are ideas to

1112
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: let people escape from Obamacare. So this is an escape hatch,

1113
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: a big escape hatch, and I think millions of people

1114
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: are going to choose. It doesn't force people to do anything.

1115
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: And here's the great thing about it. You know, you've

1116
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: had other republic beIN's proposing replacement plans that cost trillions

1117
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: of dollars. Graham Cassidy was going to cost one point

1118
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: two trillion dollars. My plan today that the President enacted

1119
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: costs zero cost, not one penny. All it did was

1120
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: legalized something that's basically a natural right, something protected by

1121
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 1: the First Amendment, which is your right to associate with others.

1122
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Let me ask, Basically, codifying a freedom. Let me and

1123
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I think and you and

1124
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: I've discussed this in the past, and I said at

1125
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: the time, I agreed with you, but I still think

1126
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: the Senate and the House need to get their job

1127
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: done as well and repeal this thing. Let me ask

1128
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: you about this tax bill that's making its way through

1129
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the House and Senate. I'm less confident every day this

1130
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: is going to get done. I still have a strong

1131
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: hope that it will get done. And I spoke with

1132
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: the President today and with his team, and the only

1133
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: thing that is something we have to make sure and

1134
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: that I'm concerned about, is that the middle class gets

1135
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: a tax cut. If the upper class get a tax

1136
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: cut and the poor we get a tax cut and

1137
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: the middle class gets a tax increase, that's a deal

1138
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: killer and it's going to really hurt the country. The

1139
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: party president was. The President was very clear last night

1140
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: that the majority of the cuts will be middle class,

1141
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: then corporation. He was adamant. He was adamant with me,

1142
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: but he also was adamant with his team today and

1143
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: he pointed at him and he said, you guys better

1144
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: make sure that this is not going to happen. And

1145
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that what we've pointed out is

1146
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: being listened to, because right now the middle rate twenty

1147
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: five percent, stays the same and you lose two big deductions.

1148
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: So if you lose two big deductions and you keep

1149
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the rate the same, there's a danger that those in

1150
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: the middle of mean state local income taxes are non deductible. Right,

1151
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: that's one, But the other one is the personal exemption.

1152
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: So if you make between seventy five thousand and three

1153
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, your rate is twenty five percent. If you

1154
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: keep the rate the same and you get rid of

1155
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the state income tax deduction and the personal exemption deduction,

1156
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: which is four thousand dollars a person, and you keep

1157
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: the rate the same, there is a real danger that

1158
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of people in that category are going to

1159
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: have tax increase. The President told me adamantly, he's not

1160
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna let it happen. His people told me not going

1161
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: to let it happen. But what I'm telling you is

1162
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan's plan from a year ago did not change

1163
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: the brackets and just got rid of these deductions, and

1164
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: it would have been a significant increase on the middle class.

1165
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: We can't have that. That's bad for the economy. That's

1166
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: not what Reagan and Kennedy did. So I agree with you,

1167
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: all right, not what the president wants. That's what the

1168
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: President said last night. All right, good for you. All right, Well,

1169
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: if we had another maybe I should go to Kentucky

1170
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: and run for senator at some point and replace McConnell.

1171
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: What do you think. You know, I think people would

1172
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: love to see you down in Kentucky. But I don't

1173
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: know about coming down there and running for office. I

1174
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: don't know about carpetbaggers coming down there from Long Island

1175
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: calling me a carpetbagger. Wow, Yankees, we don't take too

1176
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: kindly the Yankees down in Kentucky. Well, you know, I

1177
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: did live in Alabama for years, and I did live

1178
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: in Georgia for years, and I did live in Rhode

1179
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Island for years, and I did live in California for years. Geez,

1180
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: you know what you know, what we really need to

1181
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: do is if you go to California knock off one

1182
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: of their senators, we'd probably give you a gold medal. Yeah,

1183
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: you give me a gold medal. Yeah, put me in

1184
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: give me, give me mission. Impossible where you know, it's

1185
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: like running in New York City, but hell would freeze

1186
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: over before I ever ran in New York and want anything,

1187
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: I think if you, if you had, I think it

1188
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: would just take a billion dollars. If you had a

1189
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: billion dollars and a billion dollars, well, I don't have

1190
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. Don't forget it and bribe my way

1191
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: into the Senate. Great, all right, thank you, sir. Eight

1192
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: hundred nine one. Shaun is a number a lot of

1193
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: people I was surprised watching all last year with Colin Kaepernick.

1194
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Guy praised a murdering thug dictator, He had socks that

1195
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: depicted cops, his pigs and other issues. He actually donated

1196
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: to a charity that actually supported a cop killer. And

1197
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: then we saw the NFL and you took it on.

1198
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: It appears, based on the letter that Roger Goodell put

1199
01:03:55,520 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: out yesterday, that Donald Trump initiated a debate overstanding of

1200
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the flag and our anthem and those that fought blood

1201
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: and died, and looks like you won. So let's callin Deepnick.

1202
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: And I thought it was terrible, and then it got

1203
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and started mushrooming, and frankly, the NFL

1204
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: should have suspended him for one game, and he would

1205
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: have never done it again. They could have then suspended

1206
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: it for two games, and they could have suspended him

1207
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: if he did it a third time for the season,

1208
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: and you would never have had a problem. But I

1209
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: will tell you, you cannot disrespect our country, our flag,

1210
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: our anthem. You cannot do that, all right. That was

1211
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: the President last night in our interview that we had

1212
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: with him in part Harrisburg, PA. Eight hundred nine for one,

1213
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Shawn Tulprey telephone number. This is our news round up

1214
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Information Overload hour. Joining us now Pastor Darryl Scott. He

1215
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: is the executive director of the National Diversity Coalition for

1216
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Trump and the senior pastor at the New Spirit Revival Center,

1217
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: of which I am going to to be a guest

1218
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: in coming weeks. I have no idea October twenty second,

1219
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: six o'clock at your church. I'm looking forward to it.

1220
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: And the Reverend Charles Christian Adams, he's the pastor of

1221
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church. He's never invited me to

1222
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: his church. Pastor Scott, if you made the announcement, I'm

1223
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: coming at yes, sir, I've got a flyer out. We

1224
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: made the announcement. I'm already getting a major buzz about it,

1225
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a great event. Now you're gonna

1226
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: have me preaching or are you gonna be asking me questions?

1227
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Or how are we going to handle this? No, I'm

1228
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna introduce you and give you the mic, introduces me,

1229
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: give me the mike, and then you and the word

1230
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: is gonna come flowing through me. Right, And how about

1231
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: what do you want to do it? Whatever you want

1232
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: to do, if you can take questions that you can listen.

1233
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Once I give it to you, is your house. You

1234
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: do what you want to do. Well, It's always gonna

1235
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: be God's house and I will respect it as God's house.

1236
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Um anyway, Reverend Charles Christian Adams, I don't have a people,

1237
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, exercising their free speech rights. I don't have

1238
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: a problem people speaking out. I don't have a problem

1239
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: if people want to take a knee. But if you're

1240
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: not going to stand for our anthem, and hundreds of

1241
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: thousands of Americans died fighting for your freedom to do that.

1242
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: As an NFL, as a group, they have all sorts

1243
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: of restrictions on freedom of speech. You can't put never

1244
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: forget on your cleeds nine to eleven oh one. You

1245
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: can't put you can't honor slain police officers if you

1246
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: want to put something on your helmet like they wanted

1247
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: to do in Dallas. So there are all sorts of

1248
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: free speech restrictions in the NFL. Why should these players

1249
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: be taken a knee and be allowed to do so? Well,

1250
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: the free speech restrictions are not in the NFL rulebook.

1251
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I read something where there is one in the Game

1252
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Operations Manual, but that couldn't be confirmed. That is confirmed

1253
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: where they're told specifically, this says all right, so now,

1254
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: but the fans are saying they don't want to watch,

1255
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: and now the NFL is saying that we should be

1256
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: able to do both simultaneously. Honor the flag, honor the anthem.

1257
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Because ratings are weighed down. Attendance is now down, the

1258
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: prices of tickets are down, they're losing advertisers. And I

1259
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: think ultimately that the president has won in this case.

1260
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: If you read Roger Goodell's letter, he's saying, we've got

1261
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: to listen to what our fans are saying. Well, let

1262
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: me say if the lead goals completely under although I

1263
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: have not heard those Pitts confirmed, you still have to

1264
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: obey the constitutional law of the United States of America.

1265
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: The rule book of the Game Operations Manual cannot override

1266
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: and supersede US constitutional law. Well, if that's the case.

1267
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: If that's the case, then the Dallas protest. If that

1268
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: were the case, then the NFL would not have been

1269
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: able to stop the Dallas Cowboys from honoring slain police

1270
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: officers murdered in the line of duty, Nor would they

1271
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: have been able to stop players that wanted to put

1272
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: never forget nine to eleven O one on the fifteenth

1273
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: anniversary of that terror attack. Well, I don't think that

1274
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: anybody has tried to challenge those restrictions. But if they

1275
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: try to challenge these players, now, I don't think they

1276
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: want to end up in court because they're not going

1277
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: to fail. It's not the government adensive there. If you

1278
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: want to be a part of an organization, organizations have rules,

1279
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: and the NFL, like a lot of organizations, as rules.

1280
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,640
Speaker 1: And if they say you've got to be out there

1281
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: on the field and put your helmet in your left

1282
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: hand and not talk, and honor the flag and honor

1283
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: the anthem, and you don't want to do it, that's fine,

1284
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: but then they're going to have the ability to say

1285
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: goodbye to you and fire you. But that may or

1286
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: may not be the case, because not even state law

1287
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: can supersede the US constitutions. You know, private organizations, they

1288
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: have the ability to do what they want, and that's it.

1289
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 1: If you don't want to look. If that's the case,

1290
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: then every NFL player doesn't even have to wear the

1291
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: helmet of their team. They can wear any helmet that

1292
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: they want to wear. A private organization doesn't want to

1293
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: get sued either, And flag protests are protected on the

1294
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: consumes you wouldn't do it from a business standpoint. I

1295
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't risk a billion dollars industry over a protest. I'd

1296
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: rather do more positive community work. But they are still

1297
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: protected under the protest is as American as baseball and amplified.

1298
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: All right, what do you say, Pastor Scott Well, first

1299
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: of all, Colin Cabernet and every other player. Let's use

1300
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns for example. When they're on that field,

1301
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: they're not down, they're representing themselves as private citizens. They're

1302
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: representing the city of Cleveland. When when the players bow,

1303
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: they're forcing me to buy with them. Whether I want

1304
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: to buy with them or not. When the players from

1305
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns or the San Francisco Point ninety or whatever,

1306
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: when they bow, they're making that entire city by and

1307
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: the city doesn't want to buy. Now, Listen, I have

1308
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: employees showing you have businesses I've employed. If I come

1309
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: in and their customers standing in line, well, my receptionist

1310
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: is bowing her knee and saying, I retinum to stand

1311
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: up in front of these customers because I feel like

1312
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,759
Speaker 1: bowing to protest social injustice. She's getting fired on the spot.

1313
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,440
Speaker 1: There's not going to be all this debate and discussion

1314
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: about it. To give up your rights, some of your

1315
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: rights as a private citizen when you go to work

1316
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: for certain people. Your right to free speech is contained

1317
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: within the parameters of your employer or your employment. And

1318
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns especially, that's a busy one about taking

1319
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: the kneed. Let's saying because they take an L every week.

1320
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: Let's say Reverend Adams that somebody works on a cable

1321
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: network like CNN and they want to be able to

1322
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: use the N word freely, and the network says it's

1323
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: our policy, you can't do that. Are you saying that

1324
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: that would go to court and that they would have

1325
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the right to supersede what the organization rightly has as

1326
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: a standard. That would that would be offensive. And I

1327
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: think that bowing the knee is offensive. Bowing the knee

1328
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: is offending segments such as myself with the players. When

1329
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: that player that has Cleveland on her back, when he bows,

1330
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: he's borrowing for me, and I don't want him to

1331
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: bow for me. Now, when he gets off work, he

1332
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: can go in that locker room, he can go out

1333
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,920
Speaker 1: in the parking lot, he can go home and bottle

1334
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: all he wants to. He can kneel all he wants to.

1335
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: But when he's knee taking the knee on that field

1336
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: with that Cleveland Brown's uniform on, he's borrowing. He's kneeling

1337
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: for me against my will. That's the Scott. That's your

1338
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: point of view. Cleveland is not monolithtic. All US cities

1339
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: have many ball teams, monolithic front ball team and they rape.

1340
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: But if I consider it offensive, I don't consider That's

1341
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: my point of view. And watching the N word is

1342
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: categorized as a hate term, so it's not Wait a minute,

1343
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: if the end word. Okay, well, what if this person

1344
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: wants to play rap music that freely uses the ending

1345
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: word at that work station that categorize hate, sperience, and

1346
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: and the CDs are sell them by the millions from

1347
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: these rappers, the same that rappers that say black lives matter,

1348
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: the same rappers that I in thrting this protests, are

1349
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 1: the very same one that freely used the N word

1350
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: and the music. And under the guys a free speech,

1351
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: it is unders free speech, but it is if I'm

1352
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: not mistaken. Still, consider the term of hate. Taking a

1353
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: knee and praying during the national anthem is not considered hatred.

1354
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: Black people use the words aren't even sitting God anymore?

1355
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: Their praying. I don't know. I don't agree with it

1356
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: from a business standpoint, But as a minister and as

1357
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: one who believes in the freedom of speech in America

1358
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and expression, and if somebody came to your church and

1359
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: stood up and says, Satan is Lord, would you let

1360
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: them say that, come to your church and use that

1361
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: free speech in your church and say Satan Lucifer. If

1362
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: Lord and Jesus does not, would you allow that? You know,

1363
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: I can't stop somebody from saying that I've heard worse.

1364
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: I've been all ushers allowed them to say that. Would

1365
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 1: they allow them to disrupt your sermon and say, Satan

1366
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Lucier is God and Jesus is not. Well, it is

1367
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: against the inniscible law in the city of Detroit to

1368
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: disrupt purposely a service of worship. You cannot do it. Duck,

1369
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: and you're duck in the question would you let them stay?

1370
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Would you let one of your members of your church

1371
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: say I renounced in public, I renounce Jesus and Satan

1372
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: is Lord? Would you let them say that in your church?

1373
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: And you there has been worse said in my church.

1374
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:43,440
Speaker 1: You're not answering his question. With all due respect, you're

1375
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: not answering his question. Would you let them say that

1376
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: in your church? What I let them say Lucifer is Lord?

1377
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them to say, And ask if you

1378
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: want it, would you let them? Would you let them

1379
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: interrupt your sermon and say Satan, the father of evil

1380
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: is Lord and not Jesus. No, I would not, because

1381
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: that would be disrupted to the service. But if we

1382
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: were in a Bible study or something like that, yeah, sure,

1383
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: if they want to say that, they can say it,

1384
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: but they're going to be taking the task I'm saying

1385
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: that the NFL rule book or not even my will

1386
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: or my church can overcome. Do you have constitutional provision

1387
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: that gives people freedom of speech? You know this. They

1388
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: have earned the flag. They have stepped on the flag,

1389
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: they have put the flag on the seat of their pants.

1390
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: It has gone and through the court system, through the

1391
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: appellent system, to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court

1392
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: said that no state law. Stay right there. We gotta

1393
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 1: take a break. We gotta take a break. We'll come

1394
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: back more with Reverend Charles Christian Adams. More with Pastor Scott.

1395
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Now we're going to be a Pastor Scott's church on

1396
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: October the twenty second and at six o'clock. I hope

1397
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,839
Speaker 1: you can join us. Quick break, right back, we'll continue.

1398
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,759
Speaker 1: And as we continue with the Pastor TERRYL. Scott, executive

1399
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: to actor of the National Diversity Coalition, but Trump's senior

1400
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: pastor at the New Spirit Revival Center, I will be

1401
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: a special guest there on a Sunday, October twenty second,

1402
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: a special service at six pm. And also joining us

1403
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: Reverend Charles Christian Adams, and he is the presiding pastor

1404
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: of the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church who has never invited

1405
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 1: me to be a part of his congregation, not one time,

1406
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 1: and he even laughs about it. But I'm looking forward

1407
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: to I just I can't believe. So you do believe

1408
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: in restrictions. So there is as part of an organization,

1409
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: there is the right for say CNN or any news organization.

1410
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: I have standards that you can't use the F word,

1411
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: the B word, the C word, the D word, whatever

1412
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: that you can't you know, use the N word, that

1413
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: you can't say horrible things or as an organization, it

1414
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: goes against their policy and you could be fired for that. Correct. Absolutely. Okay,

1415
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: So how's that different than the NFL because they do

1416
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. Let me give you something, but you

1417
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: you you can't. You can in the NFL twork in

1418
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. You can't taunt other players. You can't

1419
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: act like you're gonna fire a bow and arrow in

1420
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: the end zone after you get a touchdown. There's all

1421
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: sorts of things. You've got to wear a certain uniform

1422
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: or slash your throat or anything. But the bottom line

1423
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: is they're not doing any of that to the American flag.

1424
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: They are praying while I'm not praying, being I never

1425
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: heard one person they are kneeling. They are praying. And

1426
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: that's what the craing Berey who told Kaepernick, look, don't

1427
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: sit down, just take a knee and pray during that.

1428
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Pray to your God, Pray for the justice that you see.

1429
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: And they are players that have joined him and all

1430
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: those other things. Look, they're cursing and all that. That

1431
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: is not to me parallel to somebody praying. But still

1432
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see those issues come up

1433
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: in court. They haven't yet, but the flag issue have

1434
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,759
Speaker 1: and that has been struck on Fiden Supreme Court. Primal

1435
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: time again, Congress, give me an example of when it

1436
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: was struck down by a private organs when a private

1437
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: organization can enforce their own rules of governing their organization. Though,

1438
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: West of all, you don't have to be in the NFL.

1439
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Do not have to play in the NFL. But if

1440
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: you're but if you do play, they've got rules in regulation.

1441
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: You can't work in the end zone from there are

1442
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: things you cannot do when you're in anyone's employe. Now

1443
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: they're not kneeling in prayer, they're kneeling in protest. So

1444
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: this is not a prayer meeting. If that's the case,

1445
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: they could pray and to locker rules and kneeling and

1446
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: protest against the American flag. But you have a guy

1447
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: Kla Kopernick, who says he's protesting social injustice against he's protesting,

1448
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: to call the civil rights but he wears a T

1449
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: shirt with this hero who's one of the greatest violators

1450
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: of human rights and human history for downcast role that

1451
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: people still in prison from the fifties over there become

1452
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: castle the presiden He's just a guy just making a statement.

1453
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: He's actually you know what he had taught the protests

1454
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: in Donald Trump. They just don't want to sing it.

1455
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: The fact that Donald Trump want that presidential election protest,

1456
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: and they just don't want to admit. I believe that

1457
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: he has added fuel to the fire. But it was

1458
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 1: not originally a protest against Donald Trump when Kaepernick started

1459
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: it last see oh Kaepernick, the guy that the guy

1460
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: that has socks that depict police officers as pigs. Does

1461
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: that offend you? Well, look, I don't want I asked

1462
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: it that. No, no, no, no, Does that offend? Does

1463
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 1: that offend you? That he portrays that I wouldn't do.

1464
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: You still don't like to answer questions. I noticed, all right,

1465
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 1: I've got a soccer was very good, tasteful. All right, answer,

01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:44,600

01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: the President. Well, that was my honor and a lot

1484
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: of fun. We had a great time as a great crowd.

1485
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: I think we got a lot of information that is important.

1486
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: And it was very interesting that crowd was not pro Congress,

1487
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 1: that crowd was not pro media. Fascinating. Yeah, you could

1488
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: fail the energy. You know, the fact that our president

1489
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: is an enthusiastic, hard worker, ultimate chair later supportive. I

1490
01:19:56,120 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: just I just find him to be encouraging. Yeah, and uh,

1491
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: it's a great you know what, people are sticking with

1492
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the president. They you know, look at his action on

1493
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: healthcare today. He's doing all he can do and at

1494
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,480
Speaker 1: some point Congress has to do their part. I'm excited

1495
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: to hear um some some upcoming shows on that. Well,

1496
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: I promise you, I mean we're listen. I'm I'm doing

1497
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: all I can influence. These people. They don't have a

1498
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of time, I know, they they don't. They they

1499
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: work a little bit slow, a little bit a lot

1500
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: of bit slow. Yeah, I you know, there's there's so

1501
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: much to do, and we've got a president who is

1502
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: happy to encourage them. Alone's away and um, I just

1503
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: think that positive energy knows a lot faster than negative

1504
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 1: and um, I think that's why he has a lot

1505
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: of support He definitely has the support. He has the

1506
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: support of the americ American people. He has a support

1507
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: with his agenda. Congress for whatever reason has him figured out,

1508
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: they'll be as popular as he is. Meanwhile, they you know,

1509
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: look at Mitch McConnell, mister eighteen percent, and look at

1510
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the Congress is at like nine percent.

1511
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: They'll be as popular as he is. And you know,

1512
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: let's say it's forty five percent, depending on which pole

1513
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 1: it happens to be. I always believe this president underpoles

1514
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: because there's a group of people that love them, but

1515
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to tell anybody they love them at

1516
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: all ever, for differing reasons. One, they don't even want

1517
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: to tell their friends, you know, spouses, husbands don't even

1518
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: want to tell their wives. Wives don't want to tell

1519
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: their husbands because they don't want to hear it. On

1520
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: the other side, what do you mean you support that person?

1521
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: What do you mean you watch Hannity so but we

1522
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 1: need to do it for the sake of the country anyway.

1523
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,759
Speaker 1: Shelley's in North Carolina. Thank you, Jessica. What's up, Shelley.

1524
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 1: How are you in the great state of North Carolina.

1525
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: What's happening. Hey, I'm doing great. Thank you so much

1526
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: for letting me touch Sean. I'm wanted to say this

1527
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: about the National Football League. You know, if these young

1528
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: men don't want to sing our national anthem, they don't

1529
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: want to honor our country, why don't we not call

1530
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: it the National Football the League anymore? Why don't we

1531
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: just call it the Professional Football League? And they can

1532
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: refuse to take any taxpayer money to build all these

1533
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: huge stadiums that they've done in the past, so they

1534
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: can even offer to pay it back to the tax

1535
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: paying Americans that love our country. And the other thought

1536
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 1: that I had is, you know, it seems like the

1537
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 1: NFL they're so concerned with protecting their players, as though

1538
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: they're this hot commodity that could never be replaced. Well,

1539
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: I have to say, for every one young guy that

1540
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: gets into the NFL, there's probably a million who are

1541
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: just the next one on the lift that would love

1542
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: to honor their country and be able to play a

1543
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 1: game that they love and get and make millions of

1544
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: dollars for it. For me, what I've done is I've

1545
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 1: switched to Saturday football. I mean, I'm really I love

1546
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: college football, and you know, they're not professionals. They're student athletes.

1547
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: And I've not seen any indications. They might have been

1548
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 1: a case or two that I've read about, but it's

1549
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: not widespread. And the dream of a lot of these

1550
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: these young kids that are playing and they're risking injury

1551
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: every time they take to the field, and being a

1552
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: student athlete, it's like having a full time job and

1553
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: having to get grades. It's not an easy life for

1554
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: those for those kids, they're not paid. They can't even

1555
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 1: get a free T shirt without the NCAA breathing down

1556
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,480
Speaker 1: their throat. You know. I think they get free sneakers

1557
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: if they play basketball, they maybe they have free cleats

1558
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: and jerseys. I mean, there's very very strict college rules,

1559
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: you know. I think an argument can be made that

1560
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: these kids deserve a stipend considering how much money these

1561
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: schools make off of football and all these other sports.

1562
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: But that's but they get a free college education. It's

1563
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: a ticket for a lot of kids. Maybe they get

1564
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 1: into a better school than their grades would otherwise get

1565
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: them into, and they get a better opportunity at life

1566
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: because of their athletic talent. I'm all for that, but

1567
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: I will tell you this they're playing their guts out,

1568
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,719
Speaker 1: they're playing with all their heart. The level of talent

1569
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: is amazing in college football. And you know, and those

1570
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: that actually make it to the NFL are very few,

1571
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: very few, And the average NFL career is not a

1572
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: long time. And if some of these players, if they

1573
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: want to put this great opportunity for life to you know,

1574
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: at least if you're doing well in life, you might

1575
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: as well. You know, it's an opportunity to make some

1576
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: money early in life and put that money away so

1577
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: that you and your family have a better opportunity. So

1578
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: I would say it's a smart thing to do anyway, Shelley,

1579
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: good call. Thank you. Paul is in Columbus, Ohio. What's up, Paul,

1580
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: How are you, hey, Sean, Thanks for taking my call.

1581
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,759
Speaker 1: I've been watching this NFL thing here for the last

1582
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: year or so with Kaepernick and all that stuff. And

1583
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: I was traveling the state of Ohio for my job,

1584
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: and I was driving from Cleveland to southern Ohio down

1585
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: Interstate seventy seven and I passed right in front of

1586
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,640
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. Yeah, and

1587
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: from the interstate you can see they had planted about

1588
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: three hundred American flags all over the front lawn of

1589
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I wonder if the NFL is

1590
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: just trying to do damage control. I don't know. I mean,

1591
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: I think the letter that I read to you earlier

1592
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: this week from Roger Goodell is a good indication that

1593
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: Trump is winning the argument. And I think he's winning

1594
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,719
Speaker 1: the argument as evidence by lower ticket prices, fewer people

1595
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: going to games, fewer sales of jerseys, jersey sales and memorabilion,

1596
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 1: all that stuff is way down, and advertisers are leaving,

1597
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 1: and people are just getting fed up. And you see

1598
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: the TV ratings in the tank. I mean, I was

1599
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: looking for I least to look forward to watching football.

1600
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: You know. I like Sunday football. I like Sunday Night football.

1601
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: I like al Michaels. I think he's one of the

1602
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: greatest broadcasters of all time. I think most of these

1603
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 1: guys are great. It's sad to me that they don't

1604
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: understand how profound it is to us and how insulting

1605
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: it is to people that when you consider those that

1606
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: fought under that flag, bled under that flag, died fighting

1607
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: for that flag so that people have the i to

1608
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: express their views. But just you got to pick the

1609
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 1: proper form now when the anthem's being played, not that

1610
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: that ought to be a moment of unity and we

1611
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: all all ought to agree on it. And if you

1612
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: don't want to, man, and if these teams, you know,

1613
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: I saw a poor Jerry Jones saying we're not going

1614
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: to let the Cowboys do this anymore. And the same

1615
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: with the owner of the Miami Dolphins. And then you've

1616
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 1: got people accusing him of want of supporting slavery. Well,

1617
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 1: it's funny because last month I was up in this

1618
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: area those flags moths there. Well that's interesting. I mean,

1619
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I think I think you might be right. You know, look,

1620
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. It's this has to stop,

1621
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: and it better stops. So this season may even be

1622
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: gone from the NFL. I'm not sure if they will

1623
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: recover this year because people are just going to be

1624
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 1: forget it, you know. Donald Trump he said, you know,

1625
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: I think people have forgotten how patriotic we are, you know,

1626
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: and then you got these I don't know what has

1627
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,719
Speaker 1: happened to ESPN. ESPN has just gone off the rails.

1628
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: You know, you get to call the president of white

1629
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: supremacist you don't get suspended for that. Now you've got

1630
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: es PAN host Michael will Bond literally said Jerry Jones

1631
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: had a plantation mentality. Wow, it's anyway. The Cowboys have

1632
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 1: met to discuss Jones's issue with that, and some people

1633
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: are saying, you know, they're gonna take any anyway, Okay,

1634
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: taking knee, and people are going to continue to stop

1635
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: watching and going to games and spending the eight hundred bucks.

1636
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:21,560
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people are doing what

1637
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I think, you know, I've kind of readjusted

1638
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: my weekend when I watched football on a Saturday, not Sunday.

1639
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 1: I did watch a little bit last weekend, but just

1640
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: it didn't have the same feel for me. And I

1641
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: think a lot of people feel that way. I'm sick

1642
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, back to our busy telephones. Michelle in Colorado, Michelle,

Speaker 1: would do it on behalf of radio people and TV people.

Speaker 1: That's what Let's do it together. I'll do it. I'm

Speaker 1: doing is I'm grabbing doctor Josh Umburn. I'm bringing him

1663
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: into those meetings. Fantastic. I'll get a better I'll get

1664
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: a better rate. I'll tell you right now, I'm going

1665
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: to get a better rate than anyone else negotiating from

1666
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: the stupid union they make me be a part of.

1667
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. It's a competition. It's how I run

1668
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 1: my business. It's common sense. We are being led by

1669
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: a common sense president, and they're floundering. I just pictures

1670
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: are left. They're like a bunch of fish that that

1671
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: got washed ashore and they're flopping around. Every time they

1672
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: think they're getting a chance to go back in the water,

1673
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: they get a freaking Harvey wine skin or a or

1674
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 1: a Pelosi or you know. It's just it's if you

1675
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: believe in karma, shan, it's all coming right now. One

1676
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: giant tidal wave of karma and common sense is running

1677
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 1: this country and it is frustrating. As a business owner,

1678
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: I get it to see how slow the changes are coming,

1679
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: but they're coming. And as far as Congress jumping on board,

1680
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,560
Speaker 1: they don't get it. It's like it's the Trump supporters

1681
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: that don't say they're Trump supporters. They're still not sure

1682
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: which way to go. And it's all about the vote.

1683
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: So here's my point then, But by politicians, we don't

1684
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: need you anymore. Okay, it's not about politics anymore. It's

1685
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 1: about the betterment of the country. And if you ever

1686
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: any of them, ever think for one more seconds if

1687
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 1: the American people are stupid, look around, Yeah, look around.

1688
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: Such a good point, all right, I gotta I gotta

1689
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,800
Speaker 1: let it go. There are eight hundred nine for one.

1690
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: Sean is our toll free telephone number. You want to

1691
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Let's go back to

1692
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 1: our busy phones here calls them been great today. Let's

1693
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: say hi to Amy Is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Amy,

1694
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: you're on the Sean Hannity Show. A good afternoon, Sean,

1695
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: thank you for hearing me out. My question is this,

1696
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: what in the offseason have any of the players that

1697
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 1: are taking the need son to start a real dialogue

1698
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: about what they proceed to be social injustice. You know,

1699
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: everybody's out there talking about, you know, killing police and

1700
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: not standing for the flag of which my significant other

1701
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 1: spent thirty three years and retired as a colonel just

1702
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:02,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. And to see that disrespect

1703
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: is going on just makes me disgusted. So I really

1704
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: want to know what are they doing in the off season?

1705
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,800
Speaker 1: Do you know? I think most athletes, look, if you

1706
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 1: play football, by the time the season's over, your body's

1707
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: beaten up pretty bad. At least all the players that

1708
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: I've ever talked to over the years, So they spent

1709
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time in recovery, meaning physically they got

1710
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: to recover they all doing rehab, they're all doing strength training.

1711
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to listen. They've they've got a

1712
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: big job and it's a full time job. A lot

1713
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 1: of them do work in the community. God bless them.

1714
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: They do a lot of good work in the community.

1715
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 1: And I got exactly you know, so I applaud them

1716
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 1: for that. Um. I also would tell you that A look,

1717
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: it's a very short career as short live. But there's

1718
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,200
Speaker 1: a million people that want their jobs, and I just

1719
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: think that at some point they keep doing it, they're

1720
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: gonna piss off the fans to the point the fans

1721
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 1: are just gonna slowly you know, it's the viewership was

1722
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna erode. Now there's gonna be a point where I guess,

1723
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, there are people are gonna watch full ball

1724
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 1: no matter what, but that audience is going to be lower.

1725
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: And the NFL has been a huge money maker, and

1726
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 1: everyone's going to talk about all the breaks that they

1727
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 1: get in terms of, oh, we the taxpayers end up

1728
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 1: funding their stadiums, we fund their rebuilds, we fund their

1729
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: new stadiums, we've fund their domes that they play in.

1730
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I think there's going to be a

1731
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 1: lot more resistance over the years to paying anything for

1732
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: any of these things, and there could be an argument

1733
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,760
Speaker 1: made that it's good financially for an individual community. So

1734
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 1: I'll have to wait and see what happens, but I

1735
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 1: gotta take a break eight hundred nine for one Seawn
