Speaker 1: Coming up next, our final news round up and information overload,
Speaker 1: Our all right news.
Speaker 2: Round Up, Information Overload, our toll free. Our number is
Speaker 2: eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn. If you ever
Speaker 2: want to be a part of the program, we'd love
Speaker 2: to hear from you. This is now becoming a thing,
Speaker 2: and it is harming. It is hurting, it is traumatizing,
Speaker 2: especially young people. And that is when you go to
Speaker 2: the Internet and people are putting up you know, intimate
Speaker 2: imagery or deep fake pornography, and because of artificial intelligence
Speaker 2: and technology, it looks very real and there are people
Speaker 2: that are doing that, and even if you're an adult,
Speaker 2: it can be the most traumatizing event in your life.
Speaker 2: Imagine how horrible it would be if you are a child.
Speaker 2: And thank god, our friend Senator Ted Cruz in Texas
Speaker 2: has is working alongside the First Lady Milania Trump. It's
Speaker 2: called the Take It Down Act, and it is a
Speaker 2: move to protect American citizens, especially young people in particular.
Speaker 2: I mean, this can cause somebody to go over the edge.
Speaker 2: It is so dangerous, it is so vile, It is
Speaker 2: so horrible what some people will do. It's just pure evil.
Speaker 2: But they will spread non consensual intimate imagery and deep
Speaker 2: fake pornography. And with the First Lady backing this crucial legislation,
Speaker 2: it is clear that Trump administration serious about combating online
Speaker 2: harassment and exploitation. And it enforces very strict penalties on
Speaker 2: offenders and holds social media platforms accountable, ensuring that they
Speaker 2: act swiftly to remove harmful content. And you've got to
Speaker 2: give them a little bit of slack because we want
Speaker 2: freedom of speech. How and these companies are trying to
Speaker 2: be as transparent as they can. Are they going to
Speaker 2: know that it's a deep fake phony imagery or that
Speaker 2: this is non consensual and it's a compromising position. No,
Speaker 2: but they do have an obligation to police that, and
Speaker 2: they're going to the act and forces strict penalties on offenders,
Speaker 2: holds these platforms accountable. And you know, people whining about
Speaker 2: encrypted communications are missing the point. This is about protecting
Speaker 2: victims and upholding justice, and it's not about limiting people's
Speaker 2: right to freedom of speech. You don't have the right
Speaker 2: to put somebody else's image. You don't have the right
Speaker 2: to that person's image to put it up on social
Speaker 2: media as a form of harassment, embarrassment, intimidation and maybe
Speaker 2: even blackmail in some cases. Anyway, our friend Senator Ted
Speaker 2: Cruz of Texas is with a senator. It was great
Speaker 2: to see you the other night at the State of
Speaker 2: the Union. I still can't get over what we witnessed
Speaker 2: in the chamber. You never witnessed anything like that, did you.
Speaker 3: No, That night was shocking. It's great to be with
Speaker 3: you again. It was great to be with you that
Speaker 3: the State of the Union. The President gave a phenomenal speech,
Speaker 3: I think the best speech he's ever given. It was positive,
Speaker 3: it was forward looking, It cataloged the incredible victories that
Speaker 3: we've already won just forty days into the administration. And
Speaker 3: the contrast with the Democrats. They are the party of rage,
Speaker 3: they are the party of hate. They would not stand
Speaker 3: or applot or show anything other than anger the entire time.
Speaker 3: It was a despicable performance. But one of the moments
Speaker 3: that was really powerful is that President Trump addressed this
Speaker 3: issue that you just talked about, which is the growing
Speaker 3: problem of non consensual intimate images, revenge porn, deep fake porn,
Speaker 3: attacking and targeting women, and attacking and targeting teenage girls.
Speaker 3: And this is a problem that is growing over three
Speaker 3: thousand percent, and we're seeing well, Milania Trump her guests
Speaker 3: at the State of the Union. Seated right next to
Speaker 3: her was a girl from Texas, Ellison Berry. I know
Speaker 3: Elliston well. She is from Aledo, Texas, which is North
Speaker 3: Texas outside Fort Worth, and she's fifteen. When she was
Speaker 3: fourteen a year ago, she woke up one Monday morning
Speaker 3: to a bunch of text and calls from her friends,
Speaker 3: and a classmate of hers had taken a perfectly innocent
Speaker 3: picture from social media, had used an AI app online
Speaker 3: to create a deep fake so that it appeared to
Speaker 3: be naked pictures of her. It wasn't, in fact naked pictures.
Speaker 3: They were fake, but you couldn't tell. They appeared entirely real.
Speaker 3: And that classmate sent it to every kid in her school.
Speaker 3: And so this poor fourteen year old girl wakes up
Speaker 3: just in tears with all of her friends thinking they're
Speaker 3: looking at naked pictures of her. Elliston, she and her mother,
Speaker 3: they tried to stop it. They tried to get it
Speaker 3: taken down. And one of the things they did is
Speaker 3: they reached out to me their constituents, and so they
Speaker 3: called their senator, and Ellison's mom said can you help
Speaker 3: with what happened to my I thought it was horrible.
Speaker 3: I've got teenaged daughters at home. I thought what happened
Speaker 3: to her was wrong, and so I drafted the take
Speaker 3: It Down legislation in response to what happened to Alliston.
Speaker 3: And the take it Down legislation does two things. Number one,
Speaker 3: it makes it a crime. It makes it a felony
Speaker 3: to post non consensual intimate images. That means, in some
Speaker 3: cases their real pictures. Say two people are in a
Speaker 3: romantic relationship, they break up, and one of them is
Speaker 3: pissed and decides, I'm going to post these pictures of
Speaker 3: videos for the world. You don't have a right to
Speaker 3: do that. That is a grotesque violation of privacy and
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be allowed. But the other instance is what
Speaker 3: I just described, where it's a real person but it's
Speaker 3: a deep fake and AI lets you create pictures and
Speaker 3: even videos that you can't tell they're not real, and
Speaker 3: the take it Down legislation makes that a crime as well.
Speaker 3: And then critically, it puts a legal obligation on the
Speaker 3: tech platforms to take the content down when the victor
Speaker 3: notifies them that is non consensual. That's me take it down.
Speaker 3: And my legislation, it has passed the Senate one hundred
Speaker 3: to nothing. It's bipartisan legislation. I teamed up with Amy
Speaker 3: klovichar Democrat from Minnesota, and it passed the Senate with
Speaker 3: every Democrat, every Republican supporting it. This week, the First
Speaker 3: Lady came to Capitol Hill, Milania, came and listened to
Speaker 3: the victims, listen to multiple victims who've been targeted all
Speaker 3: over the country, and she called on the House of
Speaker 3: Representatives to take this up and pass it. And then
Speaker 3: it's a State of the Union address. President Trump called
Speaker 3: out Ellison Berry in particular and called on the House
Speaker 3: passed this legislation, put it on his desk so that
Speaker 3: we can protect women and teenage girls and teenage boys
Speaker 3: and the victims of this abuse.
Speaker 4: You know, Senator, you and I signed up.
Speaker 2: We are in the political fray in this country, and
Speaker 2: a lot of false things have been posted and said
Speaker 2: about both of us over our long careers, and we
Speaker 2: can both handle it right. I don't know if anyone
Speaker 2: zephver did a deep fake porn on me, because I
Speaker 2: just don't look at this crap anymore. I just if
Speaker 2: I want to aggravate myself. You know, I can spend
Speaker 2: a few hours and feel terrible about myself. I can
Speaker 2: spend a few hours online and just you know, read
Speaker 2: all the hateful comments.
Speaker 4: I'd rather not.
Speaker 2: I think I have better things to do with my time.
Speaker 2: I think you probably do too. However, this is very different.
Speaker 2: I mean, now we're talking about intimate photos, reel or
Speaker 2: fake and young people involved. And there are instances and
Speaker 2: you're aware of it, and I'm aware of it where
Speaker 2: young people see it and they're so distraught that they
Speaker 2: bring harm to themselves or they've committed suicide. That's how
Speaker 2: serious this can become. That's how real this is to them.
Speaker 3: Well, Sean, you're exactly right. And at the roundtable that
Speaker 3: we hosted with the First Lady this week, one of
Speaker 3: the witnesses who spoke at the round table with Brandon Guffy,
Speaker 3: who is a state representative in South Carolina, and tragically
Speaker 3: that happened to his son Gavin, And what happened to
Speaker 3: his son Gavin, he was a teenager and he was
Speaker 3: approached over social media by what he thought was another
Speaker 3: teenage girl, and he was convinced to send explicit naked
Speaker 3: pictures of himself to the teenage girl.
Speaker 2: Well, it turns out a stupid mistake that any teenage
Speaker 2: kid might make. It is not that that uncommon. And
Speaker 2: I'm just being real here with your senator. I mean,
Speaker 2: kids get caught up and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kids, kids do foolish things. And he thought it
Speaker 3: was a cute girl and he was trying to flirt
Speaker 3: with her, so he sent the picture. It turned out
Speaker 3: it was a scam artist and engaged in what's called
Speaker 3: sex torsion, and they immediately began threatening him. Okay, we're
Speaker 3: going to take this picture of you and we're going
Speaker 3: to send it to your friends. We're going to make
Speaker 3: it public. And Gavin, this teenager, he committed suicide. He
Speaker 3: took his own life. The entire time between the first
Speaker 3: outreach from this scammer and when Gavin committed suicide was
Speaker 3: one hour and forty minutes.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. As poor kid.
Speaker 3: And by the way, Brendan, his father, testified that after
Speaker 3: his son had committed suicide, they found this on his phone.
Speaker 3: They found the communication. The scammer then tried to blackmail
Speaker 3: the father and said, Okay, you know I have your
Speaker 3: son's naked picture. I'm going to put it all out
Speaker 3: there unless you give me money and trying to shake
Speaker 3: that they.
Speaker 2: And they knew the kid was dead and that they
Speaker 2: were responsible for him dying.
Speaker 3: What the father said is the scammer. Bragg to him said,
Speaker 3: your son begged for his life and I didn't care,
Speaker 3: and that's why he's dead. And send me money or
Speaker 3: I'm going to release it.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Did we ever get this guy? Did we ever find them?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: And many of many of them are foreigners, Many of
Speaker 3: them are are in other countries, and it can be
Speaker 3: big business to to shake people down for money and
Speaker 3: for blackmail, and and and we're seeing every year dozens
Speaker 3: and dozens of teenagers committing suicide because of this. And
Speaker 3: one of the maddening things is that it is incredibly
Speaker 3: hard to take down the content. And so Brandon was saying,
Speaker 3: the provision, So the way I wrote the law is
Speaker 3: I actually borrowed a mechanism from a different law called
Speaker 3: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, And that's existing laws. And
Speaker 3: so if you or I, if you tweet out a
Speaker 3: song from the Lion King, they'll pull it down within
Speaker 3: a couple hours, because you can't tweet out something that's
Speaker 3: copyrighting and then that's that's existing law. And so the
Speaker 3: way we wrote to take it Down Act is non
Speaker 3: consensual intimate images are treated the same, which is, when
Speaker 3: the victim notifies a tech platform this is me. It's
Speaker 3: explicit and I do not consent, the tech platform has
Speaker 3: forty eight hours to remove it. And I'll tell you
Speaker 3: so when Ellison, when I first met her, she and
Speaker 3: her mother, Anna, came to my office and we were
Speaker 3: doing a press conference because I was introducing the bill,
Speaker 3: and I was visiting with her and hearing her story
Speaker 3: in person, and I asked her then, I said, Ellison,
Speaker 3: what happened to the pictures? And she got upset for
Speaker 3: a minute and she said, well, they're still up. We
Speaker 3: can't get them down. It had been nine months, nine
Speaker 3: months since this had happened, and she said the mother.
Speaker 3: The mother Anna said she had called Snapchat, she'd emailed them.
Speaker 5: And she just hit a brick wall.
Speaker 3: They just didn't care.
Speaker 5: Sean.
Speaker 3: I turned to my staff and I said, I want
Speaker 3: you to get the CEO of Snapchat on the phone today.
Speaker 3: I want this garbage down today. They took it down
Speaker 3: with hours. Now it should It was a sitting senator
Speaker 3: having to make a phone call to get it taken down.
Speaker 3: And this bill will give every victim the right to
Speaker 3: get that taken down, and that really empowers victims.
Speaker 2: Quick break right back, we'll talk more with Senator Ted
Speaker 2: Cruz on this terrible, terrible crime of exploitation and sextortion
Speaker 2: and how real it is and how you know how
Speaker 2: widespread it's really become. On the other side, we'll get
Speaker 2: to your calls. Also coming up eight hundred and nine
Speaker 2: to four one Seawan on this Friday.
Speaker 6: Are you sick of fake news?
Speaker 4: Well we've got you covered. Hannity Watch is here and
Speaker 4: has the news you need.
Speaker 7: Sean Hannity.
Speaker 2: All right, look, folks, just because we got well a
Speaker 2: new president, it is a big deal. By the way,
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean we got to let our guard down here.
Speaker 2: That's why I want to tell you about the uscca's
Speaker 2: free expert led training classes. Now you can go to
Speaker 2: uscca dot com slash class and sign up for a

Speaker 2: com Slash Class today. All right, we continue now with
Speaker 2: Texas Senator Ted Cruz as we discussed the terrible issue
Speaker 2: of sextortion, which is resulting in young people even taking
Speaker 2: their own lives on some occasions. And thankfully he has
Speaker 2: now come up with the take it down to Act.
Speaker 2: But I got to imagine that that these tech companies
Speaker 2: are sympathetic towards this. It was a case of this
Speaker 2: Nigerian man who is extradited to the USA after he
Speaker 2: was indicted in connection and I think this is the
Speaker 2: one that you're talking about with the sextortion case of
Speaker 2: the South Carolina teen. I mean, so we do get
Speaker 2: them occasionally, there's got to be a digital footprint in
Speaker 2: all of these cases, doesn't there.
Speaker 3: They're often is, and in some instances it's another teenager
Speaker 3: at the school. And over ninety percent, in fact, upwards
Speaker 3: of ninety five percent of the victims of this or
Speaker 3: either women or teenage girls. And you see it in
Speaker 3: high schools where teenage boys think, hey, this is a
Speaker 3: great idea. I'm going to make fake naked pictures of
Speaker 3: my classmates and send it to everyone, and they'll think
Speaker 3: it's real, and it really is abusive. And you know,
Speaker 3: another person who testify it at the roundtable is a
Speaker 3: teenager from New Jersey, Francesca Manny, who had the exact
Speaker 3: same thing happened to her that Elliston did in the
Speaker 3: very same month, October October, just over a year ago.
Speaker 3: It happened to her as well, same thing, and she said,
Speaker 3: you know what, the boy who did it, they know
Speaker 3: who it is. He suffered no consequences. He still goes
Speaker 3: to school with her, you know, he gets to laugh
Speaker 3: and see her every day, having sent these these pictures
Speaker 3: that everyone thought were real naked pictures uh to everyone
Speaker 3: of her classmates. Also a growing problem when you have
Speaker 3: people who are victims of human trafficking and you have
Speaker 3: either children who are being sexually molested or adults who
Speaker 3: are being sexually molested, and the predators will post the
Speaker 3: videos and post the pictures online and to take it
Speaker 3: down act he protects them here too, because if you've
Speaker 3: been through some sort of horrible abuse, that that that
Speaker 3: is like the most terrific experience of your life. And
Speaker 3: as long as it remains up on on on a
Speaker 3: social media platform, you're revictimized over and over and over again.
Speaker 5: Looking at it.
Speaker 3: And so this bill gives you the right. And so
Speaker 3: we heard testimony from victims of abuse who the predators
Speaker 3: put it up, and this gives them the right to say,
Speaker 3: I want that down. That is me and you do
Speaker 3: not have my permission to have it up there. And
Speaker 3: so it really gets about protecting and empowering the victims.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're drawing attention to this, Senator. This is
Speaker 2: this is a real problem, and these kids are very vulnerable,
Speaker 2: and this is a real crime and it's it's a
Speaker 2: very sophisticated, dark evil network of people that would do this,
Speaker 2: and hopefully this will put an end to it. Senator
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz, Texas, we appreciate you enlightening us on all this.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir. You know they're never ever going to
Speaker 4: get it on the left.
Speaker 2: They just are not that hard hitting news show the
Speaker 2: view Joyless behar By the way, did I tell you
Speaker 2: Linda that they invited me on the show after I said, well,
Speaker 2: they don't invite me anymore.
Speaker 4: Apparently they heard me say it.
Speaker 7: Wait wait, wait, when did this happen?
Speaker 2: It was the last time I said, oh, I used
Speaker 2: to go on that show, but they don't invite and
Speaker 2: invite me anymore. They called hurd it and wanted to
Speaker 2: invite me on.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: The last time I was on the show, it was
Speaker 4: a complete Adam Schift show. Yeah, they had Rosie there.
Speaker 4: That was a hot mess.
Speaker 2: Oh do you think it's going to be any different
Speaker 2: with Joyless? Do you think it's going to be any
Speaker 2: different with Sonny Houston? I don't think so.
Speaker 7: I actually think you do. You want to hear my idea.
Speaker 7: It's actually this is a fantastic idea. Everyone should sit
Speaker 7: down and just listen for a minute, because it's about
Speaker 7: to be right here we go, get ready. I think
Speaker 7: that you and stephen A should go one together.
Speaker 4: It's going to be six on one not that I
Speaker 4: can't handle it, it's just why.
Speaker 7: I don't want one. First of all, essays your boy,
Speaker 7: So you guys would be friends, like you'd be sitting
Speaker 7: there together like not only.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, he's going to be like, yeah, they're right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're right. Eody. Oh, he's not going to let him
Speaker 4: attack me personally. He wouldn't do that because we're just
Speaker 4: I think it.
Speaker 7: Would actually be fun. I think he'd be Switzerland, and
Speaker 7: I think it would be fun.
Speaker 4: He wouldn't be Switzerland. He can't help, you know.
Speaker 2: The other night when when the State of the Union,
Speaker 2: I will give him credit, he was texting me and
Speaker 2: this is He's like, this is a disgrace. He thought
Speaker 2: it was unbelievable discress democrats whoever. He still kind of
Speaker 2: has that Hey Trump in him, and he just doesn't
Speaker 2: like he doesn't like Trump's style. That's what it really
Speaker 2: comes down to. And I think he doesn't understand Trump
Speaker 2: and the policies. And I said, let me ask you,
Speaker 2: what do you know about weaponization? It was a serious conversation.
Speaker 2: And like, for example, on sports, when he asked me
Speaker 2: something about sports, if I don't know what, he's far
Speaker 2: more knowledgeable than me. And he'll say stay in your
Speaker 2: lane when he talks politics. Often I'll say back to him,
Speaker 2: you gotta stay in your lane. And you know now
Speaker 2: that now that everybody's been out there and he's been
Speaker 2: enjoying every second of this talk about him maybe be
Speaker 2: running for president, He's not running for president.
Speaker 4: I know, Steven Ay.
Speaker 7: I tell you right now, if it's Essay or Kamala,
Speaker 7: I'm voting for Essay.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not going to be Essay or Kamala. It's
Speaker 2: going to be Essay and a conservative and he's not
Speaker 2: a conservative, but he's got more a more moderate, common
Speaker 2: sense way of thinking about him so.
Speaker 5: And not.
Speaker 2: And on top of that, he's just a nice guy.
Speaker 2: He genuinely is nice. He's willing to mix it up.
Speaker 2: He's a broadcaster, he's talented, he's gifted, he's got all
Speaker 2: these great things going on.
Speaker 4: For me, I couldn't be more proud of him. I'm
Speaker 4: so happy for him.
Speaker 2: And he goes on the view and they don't even
Speaker 2: understand him. And even they were like going after him
Speaker 2: for just just mildly, you know, defending Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: You know, like give a Elon Musk a chance?
Speaker 2: Can we give the guy a chance before we just,
Speaker 2: you know, openly condemned the guy, and they their minds
Speaker 2: are closed.
Speaker 4: So you're I mean, you know, you're you think I
Speaker 4: should actually thought, you actually want me to consider going
Speaker 4: on the view.
Speaker 7: I think it would be fun these days, because similar
Speaker 7: to what is happening with the Dems at the State
Speaker 7: of the Union or the Joint Address, whatever we're calling it,
Speaker 7: if my person worth the.
Speaker 2: Cost of it might be worth the price of admission
Speaker 2: just to say, joyless, it's so good to see you again.
Speaker 4: Listen, they're going to be you would hate that.
Speaker 7: I think they're going to be on their best behavior
Speaker 7: and then they'll slowly become unhinged. I think your biggest
Speaker 7: adversaria would actually be on a Navarro because she's so
Speaker 7: hate filled, she's really hate filled.
Speaker 4: Would be joy and.
Speaker 2: Joy and joy is not like Trump Trump derangement on
Speaker 2: steroids and human growth hormone discussing the discussing the difficulties
Speaker 2: of being friends with a Trump supporter. Gee, what a
Speaker 2: complicated mess this must be.
Speaker 8: Listens with Trump supporter. I won't give them a kidney,
Speaker 8: but I could be friends with very I mean, the question,
Speaker 8: the thing about it is it's not just about politics.
Speaker 8: Its about morality, ethics, it's about cruelty, it's about discrimination.
Speaker 4: When it's about a lot of things.
Speaker 8: So there's about personal human values. We're not really just
Speaker 8: talking about fiscal conservative who pays more taxes. We're talking
Speaker 8: about you as a human ban So it's hard to
Speaker 8: be friends with someone who signs onto something like that.
Speaker 8: On the other hand, to open to discussion, I like
Speaker 8: to talk to them, find out where exactly do you
Speaker 8: know about this guy?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with that because I think you know,
Speaker 9: we're in abnormal times. This is not the Republican Party
Speaker 9: of yesterday. This is sort of the trump I think
Speaker 9: it's the Trumpeting Party in many respects.
Speaker 4: It's so extreme.
Speaker 9: And if someone is supporting or voting for someone who
Speaker 9: is hurting members of my family, members of my community,
Speaker 9: our elderly, our children, gutting our government, firing people, I
Speaker 9: do have a hard time right and c being friends.
Speaker 7: With that person.
Speaker 2: You can't reason with them. They voted for a woman
Speaker 2: that supported five hundred and seventy four riots encouraged it
Speaker 2: and told them not to stop. They voted for a
Speaker 2: woman that wanted taxpayer funded sex change operations. And wide
Speaker 2: open borders and wanted to ban fracking and drilling. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's very hard to have a reasonable conversation Sonny House
Speaker 2: that actually went as far as to say people need
Speaker 2: to fight and die for their rights to oppose Trump.
Speaker 2: Democrats are not meeting the moment against this existential threat.
Speaker 2: Throw out of their minds. Chris Matthews is back. Trump
Speaker 2: is Mussolini and he's using us in the media. They're
Speaker 2: They're insane. I I can't handle it. Actually, it is
Speaker 2: a coloss I think it would be a colossal waste
Speaker 2: of my time, and I think that this audience, you know,
Speaker 2: would prefer not waste my timing it.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know. Maybe we should put a
Speaker 4: poll up. What do you think?
Speaker 7: Okay, so what's the poll.
Speaker 4: How would you like it to read? Would you like
Speaker 4: Sean to go on the View?
Speaker 3: Or not?
Speaker 4: And that's.
Speaker 7: Should No, we should make it fun. It should say
Speaker 7: something like, should Sean Hannity go on the View?
Speaker 4: And school would be enjoy.
Speaker 2: No, because now what you're doing is very tricky and sneaky,
Speaker 2: and I know what you're up to.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to do you're trying. No, you're not
Speaker 4: just asking.
Speaker 2: You're trying to get the audience to vote the way
Speaker 2: you want them to vote. Because you want me to
Speaker 2: go up there and do this. It's not going to
Speaker 2: be you sitting there getting yelled at.
Speaker 7: I promise you, if you do this, I will be
Speaker 7: in the front row and I will rah rah raw
Speaker 7: you the whole way through.
Speaker 4: Oh rah rah rah. They gonna look at you and
Speaker 4: probably remove you from this security.
Speaker 7: Please take the woman in the front.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be al Green getting you removed. I'll stand
Speaker 2: up and sing to our busy phone. Speaking of al Green,
Speaker 2: Jim and Alabama. What's up, Jim, how are you?
Speaker 1: Hey? Good afternoon, Sean. As you said yesterday when they
Speaker 1: centered al Green, my first question is what does that mean? Secondly,
Speaker 1: he said he would do it again, and it sounds
Speaker 1: like there's little or no ramification. So is there a
Speaker 1: ramification for the center?
Speaker 4: Is there a ramification for CenTra? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean if it happens again, then it goes to
Speaker 2: the next step and uh, you know, then then they
Speaker 2: begin to lose four privileges and then they can vote
Speaker 2: to remove them from Congress. Listen, I don't really want
Speaker 2: it to come to that point and I may surprise
Speaker 2: people by saying that what he did I in the end,
Speaker 2: if this is who they are holding up their bingo cards,
Speaker 2: being unwilling to stand for mothers that lost children and
Speaker 2: a young man with cancer and the wife of a
Speaker 2: hero that was murdered in the line of duty, then
Speaker 2: let them be that party. If they want to be
Speaker 2: the party of endless wars, if they want a champion
Speaker 2: men's rights to play women's sports, if they want a
Speaker 2: champion the rights of illegals over our safety, if they
Speaker 2: want reckless spending in the hundreds of billions of dollars
Speaker 2: for their radicalism abroad, then let them be that party.
Speaker 2: You know, America now sees them for what they are.
Speaker 2: And it took Donald Trump winning this election, you know,
Speaker 2: for a lot of this to get exposed and for
Speaker 2: people's eyes to be opened. And now that they're opened,
Speaker 2: and now that they're doubling down on stupid, I think
Speaker 2: they're just hurting themselves every step of the way.
Speaker 4: Anyway, good call, go ahead, Lest word.
Speaker 1: God, can you go a little bit further now? You
Speaker 1: said if they center him a second time, what would happen.
Speaker 2: Center has long been viewed as a punishment of last
Speaker 2: resort admonishing someone for something that is perceived as a
Speaker 2: serious wrongdoing and informs the public of a formal disapproval.
Speaker 2: And what does censer mean in Congress? Well, it comes
Speaker 2: just one step below expulsion and usually is triggered only
Speaker 2: for the most grievous wrongdoings. And vote for censure used
Speaker 2: to be few and far between. They've become fairly commonplace,
Speaker 2: and it's happened to other people more recently. You might
Speaker 2: remember Jamal Bowman. It happened to him. Marjorie Taylor Green
Speaker 2: was up for a censure over past statements that never happened.
Speaker 2: But at some point they'll face expulsion if they continue
Speaker 2: these antics. He said he would do it again. I'm like,
Speaker 2: go ahead, do it again anyway. Thanks my friend. Eight
Speaker 2: Seawn is our number. If you want to be a
Speaker 2: part of the program. Back to our busy phones, let
Speaker 2: us say hi with Eric and North Carolina.
Speaker 4: Hey, Eric, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 5: Hey Sean, pleasure to speak with you for the first time.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Oh my question, Leasure.
Speaker 5: My question is very simple. Which democrat is going to
Speaker 5: be the first one to step out of line? Surely
Speaker 5: that somebody has the fortitude to to look at what's
Speaker 5: what was being proposed and what they're doing. After watching
Speaker 5: that speech the other night, I was like, somebody has
Speaker 5: got to have some real leadership qualities that they would
Speaker 5: actually step out of line and start disagreeing with the
Speaker 5: leadership of the Democratic Party, And what is that? What
Speaker 5: for that person? What is it going to look like?
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because apparently yesterday there was a behind
Speaker 2: the scenes meeting of the Democratic Caucus and the leadership
Speaker 2: was admonishing the way the Democrats acted during the State
Speaker 2: of the Union. But I didn't see Hakeem Jeffries or
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer stands. So they're just as guilty as everybody else.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was a bit of a joke.
Speaker 2: And John Fetterman spoke out against it. He's the only
Speaker 2: current member. Joe Manchin spoke out against it, but he's
Speaker 2: no longer a current member. I don't think there's gonna
Speaker 2: be anybody. I think this is who they are and
Speaker 2: it defines them and the American people got.
Speaker 4: To see it all.
Speaker 5: Fortunate, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Anyway, my friend, God bless you appreciate the call. Pennsylvania. Wayne,
Speaker 2: We have a minute, Wayne, it's all yours. Glad you called.
Speaker 6: Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call, and I think
Speaker 6: you should do the view I want to talk about.
Speaker 4: I thought you liked me. I thought you were my friend. Okay,
Speaker 4: Tuesday night, we're.
Speaker 2: Not using Linda's push poll language either. If it's going
Speaker 2: to be Shoean Hannity go on the view, yes or no,
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 6: I only have a minute here, So Sean, on Tuesday
Speaker 6: night with the State of the Union, I look at
Speaker 6: the two parties as brands, and the Democratic Party did
Speaker 6: some pretty bad damage to their brand on Tuesday. And
Speaker 6: the Republicans have a wealth of campaign advertising material from
Speaker 6: that night. And what they should do is they should
Speaker 6: take that DJ and split screen with what the Democrats
Speaker 6: were doing. I mean, these people went through some traumatic
Speaker 6: tragedies in their life. And Trump, you know a lot
Speaker 6: of people say he lost his fastball.
Speaker 2: He are you kidding me? This guy has never been
Speaker 2: thrown harder life.
Speaker 6: Not only did he pitch a no hither, he came
Speaker 6: up to bat and hit a grand slam. And the
Speaker 6: Democrats have some real problems and for the legacy media
Speaker 6: to double down on what they did. The Democrats did
Speaker 6: on Tuesday Night. I mean, do they not see what
Speaker 6: they're doing?
Speaker 2: I don't think their party has become radicalized and extreme.
Speaker 4: This is who they are.
Speaker 2: And while they tried to hide it, it's been exposed
Speaker 2: by President Trump and Elon Musk and we saw it
Speaker 2: on the State of the Union. And now people's eyes
Speaker 2: are open to it. And once your eyes open and
Speaker 2: so you can't unsee it anymore. And if they try
Speaker 2: to moderate, I don't think it's going to come off
Speaker 2: as credible. It's going to come off as political expediency,
Speaker 2: which is what it will be. Anyway, Wayne, I wish
Speaker 2: I had more time. We love our friends in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: God bless you, my friend eight hundred and ninety four
Speaker 2: one Sean if you want to join us. And that's
Speaker 2: gonna wrap things up for today. Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern
