1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: All right, News round up, Information Overload. Our eight hundred 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: and nine P one Sean is our number if you 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. You know, 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty fascinating. I don't know if you saw the video. 5 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: We showed it last night on Hannity. There's a couple 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: of go fund me pages. One allows a page for 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: this Minnieapolis gunman, Andrew Sundberg, a guy that was shooting 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: into the home of this mother with young children. Thank 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: god nobody was killed. But you see, we showed you 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: the bullet holes last night all over the house. And 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: she's the woman when the police, a sharpsman in Minnieapolis 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: ended up taking this guy out. You know. Then there 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: was a Black Lives Matter protest and she confronted Black 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Lives Matters activist saying this is not a George Floyd event. 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: Go look at the bullet holes they tried to kill. 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: He tried to kill me and my children. Anyway, gofund 17 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: me is now collecting a small fortune for this guy 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: on his goal fund me page. On the other hand, 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: go fund me is not allowing a page for jose Alba, 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: the guy that was working the daygo worker that was 21 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: working that was attacked and used a knife to defend himself. 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: And their answer is, quote, our terms of service prohibit 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: fundraising for the legal defense of a violent crime. Well, 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: he's not convicted of a violent crime. And at this 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: point the fundraiser has been removed and all donors have 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: been refunded. How As it relates to the go fund 27 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: me page that's going on for this guy that was 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: firing bullets into this home, the fundraiser states donations will 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: go towards funeral, food, family expenses. Fundraisers for these types 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: of expenses are allowed undergo fund me terms. So go 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: explain that to me. We had over the weekend. We 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday. You know, I'm looking at, for example, 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: in today's Wall Street Journal, the food court in Indiana's 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: Greenwood Park Mall. The food court wasn't tended target of 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: a mass shooter. He fired twenty four rounds killed three 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: people until he was twenty years old. The guys that 37 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: fired the shots, Jonathan Sapperman as his name, fired twenty 38 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: four shots before he was taken out by a hero 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: gun owner. Twenty two year old kid was identified as 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: Alicia Dickon or Elijah Dickens, depending on how you pronounce 41 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: it is different spelling. But anyway, the guy, the shooter 42 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: had another hundred rounds stored in a nearby bathroom where 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: he'd been hiding out before the attack, so obviously he 44 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: intended to keep shooting as long as he could. And 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: but for this brave individual stepping up who happened to 46 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: have a handgun, and he's been heralded as a hero 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: and a good Samaritan, as he should be. And anyway, 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: police identified the shooter and this guy saved god only 49 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: knows countless lives. This was a potential for a mass 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: shooting disaster. But of course the media mob freaks out, 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: just like they freaked out when the Supreme Court recognized 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: that a right enumerated in the Constitution, and that being 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, the right of the people to keep 54 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: into bare arms. It doesn't say arms meaning muskets keep 55 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: arms shall not be infringed. And the Supreme Court upheld 56 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: that with the New York gun Club case. And this 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: is how the media mob reacted to that. We just 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: received some very disturbing news from Washington that the Supreme 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Court of the United States of America has stripped away 60 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: the state of New York's right and responsibility to protect 61 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: its citizens with a decision which we are still digesting, 62 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: which is frightful in its scope, But this decision has 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: made every single one of us less safe from gun violence. 64 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: The fact that the Court is coming down with its 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: decision feels taunt death, and I worry that it undermines 66 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: legitimacy of the courts. It seems I don't even have 67 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the words. It seems stupid, even though it's worse than that. 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: It's worse than that. It's not even stupid. It is no, 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: it's it's so it's such a middle finger to New York. 70 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: Many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the 71 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court's ruling today. It I believe defies common sense 72 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: and the Constitution of the United States. Frankly, Katie, New 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: York City will look a lot more like Alabama once 74 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: this ruling goes into place. With guns widely available with 75 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: concealed carry, We've known for a lot of years, because 76 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: we've reported a lot of years on this program, how 77 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: when you have more guns available, you have less crime. 78 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Statistically speaking. John Lott has written more Guns, Less Crime 79 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: and has written updated versions of this for years. He's 80 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, and anyways, 81 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: speaking before the Judiciary Committee taking up a bill that 82 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: wild banned most rifles this week, and he said the 83 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: term assault weapon is nonsensical. First, the APS highly influential 84 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: style book, followed by the news media is recognizing that fact. 85 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: As the AP now acknowledges the term conveys little meaning 86 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: and is highly politicized. Politicians will obviously continue calling AR 87 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: fifteens assault weapons and weapons of war, as President Biden did, 88 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: and as many seem to think AR means assault rifle 89 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: when it stands, you know, for something that is not 90 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: assault rifle arm, A light rifle is actually how you 91 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: say it after the company that developed this firearm in 92 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: nineteen sometime in the nineteen fifties. Anyway, the media is 93 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: now finally recognizing that AR or ak style rifles designated 94 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: for the civilian market are fundamentally different than military weapons. Anyway, 95 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: John joins us, Now, I look at this guy, Elijah Dickens, 96 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: twenty two year old kids in this mall. He didn't 97 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: have to risk his life. This guy's fired twenty four 98 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: shots into a food court, killed three people, already could 99 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: have killed many more and had a hundred rounds more 100 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: in the bathroom that he could go back to very quickly. 101 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: But for the bravery of this young kid, we don't 102 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: know how many people might have died here, right, I 103 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: mean he ran to the sound of gunshots. I mean 104 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: we've seen recently, you know, people are a human We 105 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: just saw in Uvali, Texas, police being afraid to go 106 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: in to the place where there was a gun because 107 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: they were worried about getting shot. And yet this individual, 108 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: this young man, ran towards the gunshots that he heard, 109 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: and he undoubtedly, as you say, save many lives. In 110 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: all your studies, in all the years, we don't really 111 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: hear a lot about people using guns and self defense 112 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: protecting people. One of the arguments I've always had with 113 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: anti gun liberals, anti second amender liberals is, let me 114 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: ask you a question. What happens if it's midnight and 115 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: somebody breaks into your house and they want to bring 116 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: harm to you and your family. What are you going 117 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: to do? More often than not, the answer is predictable. 118 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: I'll get on the phone and I'll call nine one one. 119 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Even with the fastest response team on record, that's still 120 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: not enough time to stop the incident. Whatever's going to 121 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: happen will happen in the interim. Basically, you are allowing 122 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: yourself at that point to be a sitting duck at 123 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: the mercy of a criminal that doesn't obey laws by 124 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: the very nature of being a criminal. Police are extremely important. 125 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: Anybody who's writing my academic work notes that I think 126 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: police are the single most important factor for reducing crime. 127 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, police themselves understand that they 128 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: virtually always arrive on the crime scene after the crimes occurred, 129 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: and that raises a question about what people should do 130 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: when they're having confront a crimo by themselves, and telling 131 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: people to behave passively is not very good advice by 132 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: far the safest course of action, and this is particularly 133 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: true for people who are relatively weaker physically, women and 134 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: the elderly, because you're almost talking about young males doing 135 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: the violent crimes, and when a man is attacking a 136 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: woman or an elderly person, there's a lot larger strength 137 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: difference that exist there. Then when you're talking about a 138 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: man attacking another man, I would argue it's the most 139 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: vulnerable people in our society who benefit the most from 140 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: having the option to be able to go and protect themselves. 141 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: One quick comment about the Indiana case. You know they 142 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: had red flag laws didn't stop this individual from doing it. 143 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: What they did have, though recently passed constitutional caring, which 144 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: made it possible for this young man, this twenty two 145 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: year old, to go and stop the attack. Well, why 146 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: is so many people offended that he's being called a 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: hero and a good samaritan because they're blinded by their 148 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: hatred of guns so much. I mean, you go and 149 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: look at Michael Bloomberg's gun control groups, people who are 150 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: out on Twitter, and they're very upset that anybody would 151 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,479 Speaker 1: call this individual who ran towards the sound of gunfire 152 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: a good samaritan or a hero. I don't know what 153 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: else you would go and call somebody who goes and 154 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: saves multiple lives. But I have to tell you the 155 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: media has been very irresponsible in terms of these mass 156 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: public shootings. Very responsible, I believe, unfortunately for many of 157 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: these attacks, because if you read the diaries, if you 158 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: read the manifestos from these killers, when you find over 159 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: and over again they say, if I can only kill 160 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: more people than such and such kills, I can get 161 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: more media attentions they thrive. Their goal is to get 162 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: media attention, and they know the more people they kill, 163 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: the more people, the more media attention that they're going 164 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: to be able to go in and take. The question 165 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself is how you reduce the 166 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: media attention. I'm not going to go and argue we 167 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: should go and get rid of the First Amendment, but 168 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: there are things that you can do, particularly making sure 169 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: somebody is there quickly on the scene in order to 170 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: go and stop them. The faster somebody can get there, 171 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: the more you're going to limit the number of people 172 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to kill or wound, and 173 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: the more you're going to be able to limit the 174 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: amount of media attention that they're going to be able 175 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: to go and get. You know, after the Buffalo shooting Cake, 176 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: the media ignored the parts of the manifesto where this 177 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: killer explained in detail why he picked the targets that 178 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: he did. He wanted to go to a place where 179 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: he knew the civilians there would not have concealed handguns 180 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: for protection. I can give you dozens of these diaries 181 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: and manifestos where these killers explicitly say they're targeting a 182 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: place where they know they're victims can't defend themselves because 183 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: that will allow them to go and kill more people 184 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: and allow them to get more media attentions. But yet 185 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: you will search in vain for any media coverage, any 186 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: news media coverage of that basic simple fact that was there. 187 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: And yet you think these guys care so much about 188 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: stopping these attacks, but they give it huge amount of 189 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: media coverage, and they refuse to talk about how these 190 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: gun free zones actually serve as magnets. That these killers 191 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: may be crazy in some sense, but they're not stupid. 192 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: They know if they go to a gun free zone 193 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: where civilians are banned, they're gonna kill more people. They 194 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: uval the case. Thirty percent of the schools in Texas 195 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: have armed teachers. Unfortunately, not that at school. The Talta 196 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: hospital attack, again a gun free zone. If I just 197 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: mentioned the Buffalo case, you go through, ninety six percent 198 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: of these mass public shootings take place in areas where 199 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: civilians are banned. Now, gun control people would say, well, 200 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: good guys with guns, don't stop these attacks, because they'll 201 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: go and they'll point out, look, in the Buffalo case, 202 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: there was an armed guard there. Well, that's true, but 203 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: the thing is having somebody in uniform within having them 204 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: be the only person with a gun. Who do you 205 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: think the attackers take out first? They have an almost 206 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: impossible job there. It's kind of like somebody in uniform, 207 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: if they're the only person with a gun, it's kind 208 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: of like a neon sign about them that's to shoot 209 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: them first. They have an incredibly difficult job. If you 210 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: have people with concealed handgun permits, who would actually make 211 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: the job of that officer or that guard much easier 212 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: because if the person attacking them attack, they reveal their position, 213 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: and now they have to worry that somebody behind them 214 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: or to the side that they can't identify beforehand might 215 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: also have a gun and be able to stop them 216 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: all right, Old John Locke, I think every school should 217 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: have undercover retired police, retired military, but specifically trained in 218 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the safety of schools, for example, to stop school shootings. 219 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: One way into the school, one way out, emergency contingencies. 220 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: Probably every other door would have an alarm on it 221 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: so people can't open it, and I think that would 222 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: protect all these schools from these devastating shootings. I think 223 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: Uvaldi was an anomaly in as much as the cops. 224 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, watching this video is heartbreaking to me because 225 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: I know so many officers people that are in law enforcement, 226 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: and that is the exact opposite of how they all 227 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: would react and how they're training to react. You also 228 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: have to add to the equation. I mean, things have 229 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: gotten dramatically worse in terms of police being able to 230 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: do their job. Look at the defund movement, Look at 231 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: the Nobel laws, look at the dismantled police department. You know, 232 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: look at people not being charged if they go into 233 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: a store in San Francisco or other cities, and as 234 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: long as they don't take a thousand dollars worth of stuff, 235 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: they're okay. They can walk right out the door. That 236 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: is now commonplace. We have about thirty seconds. I mean, 237 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: you and I understand why violent crimes increase even if 238 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: Democrats don't. You have defunding the police. New York City's 239 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: kind its police budget five billion dollars a year. You 240 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: have district attorneys for refusing to prosecute people. You have 241 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: veil reform. That's there, and we could go on, but 242 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: you know Biden wants to make it solely about guns. 243 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: You know, less than eight percent of violent crime involves guns. 244 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: The way you reduce violent crime with guns is the 245 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: same way you reduce all violent crime the other ninety 246 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: two plus percent. And then as you make it risky 247 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: for criminals to go and commit crime high, they know 248 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: when they know there's a risk, when they know there's 249 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: going to be consequences, when they know there's going to 250 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: be pushback, I think the odds of them taking that 251 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: chance are greatly reduced, and the odds of them being 252 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: successful hopefully shift to the safety and security of innocent 253 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: people that are that are trapped during these moments. Anyway, 254 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: John Lott appreciated as always, President of the Crime Prevention 255 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: Research Center, Thank you for giving us facts the mob 256 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: then the media will never give us or politicians will 257 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: never give us. He never stopped working for the good 258 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: of the country. Sean Hannity would behind the scenes information 259 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: on today's breaking news. Hannity is on right now, all right, 260 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. Thanks for 261 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: being with us, eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn 262 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: our number. You want to be a part of the program. 263 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: So after Glenn Yungcan won by a significant margin in 264 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Virginia, and you know we weren't paying 265 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: as close attention to New Jersey as we should have, 266 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: and I said, I'm not going to make that mistake again. Like, 267 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: for example, Lee Zelden running against Kathy Hulkell, or Kathleen 268 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: Hulkell the governor of New York, I would argue, has 269 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: a chance if this becomes and develops into a wave 270 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: of election. Unlike other people, I'm I'm not jumping the 271 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: gun and making bold predictions about a massive way of election. 272 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. I'm cautiously optimistic. 273 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be up to you, the American people, 274 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that that all happens. But I decided 275 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: that I'm not going to ignore races just because the 276 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: odds are usually low in a general election. For example, 277 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: Maryland has had a Rhino governor by the name Allarry 278 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: Hogan who's trying to get another Rhino apparently into office. 279 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: I know President Trump has supported Dan Cox for governor 280 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: in Maryland. That primary has taken place tomorrow. Dave Bossie 281 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: knows a lot about the race. We brought them on 282 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes to give us an update 283 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: on what's going on. I'm sorry that primaries today and 284 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: to get some updates as to what's happening in this 285 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: race and why that you think this is a winnable race. Hey, Sean, 286 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: thanks for having me back. Look, you're exactly right. Just 287 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: like New Jersey, Maryland is on the cusp and once 288 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: again Republicans can keep the seat. Larry Hogan has been 289 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: the only thing between the radical leftists in Annapolis and 290 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: the citizens of Maryland. He's the only thing that's standing 291 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: in a way of higher taxes and bigger bureaucracies in 292 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: the state. But today is a day where Marylander's Republicans 293 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: in their primary can elect Dan Cox, who is the 294 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: conservative in the race. He's in the state House right 295 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: now and he's going up against Larry Hogan's Kelly Schultz 296 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: endorsed as his endorsed candidate. And it's just been it's 297 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: really a grudge match. What is boiling down to between 298 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: President Trump and Larry Hogan. You know what's been fascinating 299 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: to watch, and I know you follow this as I do. 300 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: It seems that anybody that Donald Trump supports, you get 301 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: groups that claim to be conservative. And I'll mention one 302 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: of them. And by the way, Steve Moore, I want 303 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: to make sure I point out, even though he founded 304 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: the Club for Growth, is not a part and has 305 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: not been a part of the Club for Growth for 306 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: many many years now, he's part of another organization. If 307 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: you listen regularly to this program, you know that. But 308 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: it seems like they anybody the Trump supports, they want 309 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: to go in and assist with the Trump opponent just 310 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: to try to make President Trump look bad. Now, I 311 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: know a lot of people the reputation a Club for 312 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: Growth has always been that they're conservative, and it was 313 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: connected to Steve Moore and Steve Forbes. It's not anymore, 314 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: is it. Well, no, it's not at all. And and look, 315 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: they do agree with President Trump on occasion in the 316 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney race, they are on the side of Harriet Hageman, 317 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: who is the Trump endorsed candidate there. But for the 318 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: most part they have really found themselves on the opposite 319 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: side of President Trump. And it's for the life of me, 320 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. What President Trump did in office 321 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: for four year years was everything The Club for Growth 322 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: says they are four and have been for since they're founding, 323 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: So it's interested you see the same phenomenon that I'm 324 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: seeing is that all these never Trumper groups, they're trying 325 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: to damage Trump's credibility, and even if it means supporting 326 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: liberal they like. For example, there are some people that 327 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: hated Donald Trump so much that never trumpers that they 328 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: voted for Joe Biden, and they voted for this disaster 329 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: of a president that we now have. Y's right. And 330 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: whether it's these groups that you're talking about or individuals, 331 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: Look Larry Hogan, Governor Ricketts in Nebraska, Chris Christie. You know, 332 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: there's some people out there who are Asa Hutchinson who 333 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: have never really done much on their own as far 334 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: as the conservative movement, then done anything as far as 335 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: the conservative movement is concerned, but they come out against 336 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: President Trump because they have to find a lane for 337 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: them selves for their own futures. They have nowhere to 338 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: go except to try to be against Trump. And it's 339 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: it's to be honest with you, it's not a good 340 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: game plan. Oh, it's not a good game plan. All right. 341 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: So that's taking place today. What were the polls showing 342 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: going into today? So Dan Cox has been leading in 343 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: pretty much every poll that I have seen by three 344 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: to five points, and I think he's going to hold it. 345 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: We see low turnout across Maryland today, which I think 346 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: in everything we've seen in prior states, really shows them 347 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: that Trump motivated voters are going to be the ones 348 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: turning out in bigger numbers and that's going to help 349 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: people like Dan Cox and Trump endorsed candidates down ballot. 350 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: All right, Dave Bossy, what were watching report tonight on Hannity? 351 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: Is the ELECTRA results come in? We appreciate you being 352 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: one of those. Thanks for the update, my friend. Thanks 353 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Sean eight hundred and nine f one. Sean, if you 354 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program to our 355 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: busy phones, we go. Marshall is in the incredibly beautiful 356 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: state of Montana. It's been many a day, Marshall. I'm 357 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: sitting here my New York studio. I'm thinking what the 358 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: hell am I doing here? I could be out in 359 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: the wilderness, sinking at God's majesty in Montana, and I'm thinking, 360 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I think you're a lot smarter than I am. Well, 361 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: I was right here from North Carolina twenty one years ago, 362 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: so I didn't really have much of a say it, 363 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: But I love that if that happened, been all around 364 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Montana at the Bitter Valley is by far the most 365 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: gorgeous part of Montana. I mean, glaciers pretty too, But 366 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Montana is wonderful except this time of year, a hundred 367 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: degree weather. I'm I'm used to forties and fifties right well, 368 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a little colder for me. I 369 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: have a little bit more problem with the cold than 370 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: maybe you do. The cold part doesn't doesn't appeal to me. 371 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: Yellow Stone appeals to me. I'm kind of look at 372 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: that life and I'm like a little envious in the 373 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: back of my mind, or a look at people that 374 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: live off the grid and Alaska, I think, could I 375 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: ever do that? I'm not really sure if I'm courageous 376 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: enough to do it. Yeah, there's a there's actually quite 377 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: a bit of people that I know personally who are 378 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: building their own off the grid kind of little homestead. 379 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: It's it's it's pretty cool stuff. I don't know if 380 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: I could do it, but it's pretty cool, that's for sure. 381 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: Definitely rugged individualism as defined. What's on your mind today? So, 382 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: first thing, thank you to your call screener. She's awesome. 383 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: You kind of just wanted to call and you don't 384 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: need any words of encouragement from me. You're a tough guy, 385 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: but you know, I just it rubs me a little 386 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: bit the wrong way when people go out and they 387 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: say the Conservatives and people with you know, loud voices 388 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: like yourself go out there and try and stir up 389 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: violence when really all the large messages, you know, just 390 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: let me live my life, man like government get out 391 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: of here, like that's the whole premise of America. I 392 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: don't need someone in DC telling me how I need 393 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: to live my life. I'll refer to my local authorities. 394 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: That's fine, But I don't need someone out there telling 395 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: me that I shouldn't have this type of gun, or 396 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: I need to pay for this person's health care or 397 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no no, no no. That's not why 398 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: I'm out here. That's not why I'm an American. I 399 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: don't need to take care of everyone else. I'm here 400 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: to take care of me and my family. And so 401 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: it kind of rubs me the wrong way when you 402 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: have people out there saying that, you know, just simply 403 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: stating that you know that us as conservatives were really 404 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: focused on life, liberty, and happiness, but somehow we're spreading 405 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: violence and enabling people to go out and do very 406 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: heinous things. I mean, you have radicals on the left. 407 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: We've seen that what fifty pro life crisis pregnancy centers vandalized, 408 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: churches vandalized after the Roe v. Wade decision. You see, 409 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: for example, Black Lives Matter and Antifa. We saw what 410 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: happened in the summer twenty twenty. Democrats were either quiet, 411 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: the majority of them were quiet, said nothing, or they 412 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: just lied to us and said, oh, these are mostly peaceful. 413 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: They weren't, or they will are activists like Kamala Harris 414 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: and saying they shouldn't stop. That won't stop. Beware take note. 415 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: And then you know, promoting bail funds for people that 416 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: were involved in the rioting. It's amazing that the double standard. 417 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: But you're referring to Republicans always been called racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, 418 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: wanting dirty air and water, blah blah blah. It goes 419 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: with the territory. But that narrative they've it's sort of 420 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: like the Boy who Cried Wolf. It just doesn't have 421 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: any impact anymore because they've it's number one based on 422 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: a lie, and number two, they've overused it. They have. 423 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: They have nothing to run on. The only thing they've 424 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: got is, Oh, Republicans are going to outlaw all abortion. 425 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: That's a false narrative. Oh, Republicans want everybody to have 426 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: a gun. No, they believe in the Second Amendment. Republicans 427 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: support January sixth. No, I condemned January sixth. In real time. 428 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: We have to protect elected officials at our institutions. Absolutely. 429 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: I even turned to my wife on January sixth and 430 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: I said, Man, I've never felt so disappointed in the 431 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: people that I support, even if they didn't fully have 432 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: anything to do with it. I'd never felt so disappointed 433 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: because that was just horrendous. But then you can't, you 434 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: can't just did anybody on the left at it? Where 435 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: they disappointed? In the summer of twenty twenty, writing why 436 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: where is the committee investigating that we lost dozens of Americans, 437 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: thousands of cops, cyndured billions of property damage. Where's that investigation? 438 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: Probably about as close to their support to conservatives as 439 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: a cat, you know, That's that's where it's hidden. If 440 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: I just wanted to call in and say thank you 441 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: for having such a loud voice, I thank God for 442 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: your opinions, your mind and your and your voice. I 443 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: can't do it without you, man, But it's all of us. 444 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: You got to remember this. It's just not me. I'm 445 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: only one vote. It's all of us, all hands on deck, 446 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: and that's it. This is this is now a very 447 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: pivotal moment for the country, and we can take the 448 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: country back. We can. We can get America back on track. 449 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: We've done it before. We can do it again. But 450 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: we have to take it seriously. And if we don't 451 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: take it seriously, we'll get the government we deserve. It'll 452 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: get we'll get worse if you let them take over, 453 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: it will get infinitely worse. So you know it's up 454 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: to we the people to make sure that doesn't happen. Anyway, 455 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: My friend enjoyed the beautiful Montana skies out there. Appreciate 456 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: you being with us.

Everybody 463 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: wants to decay. Hey, he's getting like hit on every day. 464 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: She's so pleasant. I mean, what do you what else 465 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: do you do? I'm not against us. She's free to, 466 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, hang up on you if she wants. She 467 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: doesn't do that. Well, I have a couple of points 468 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about, Sean. I I 469 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: am a thirty nine year old small business trucking owner operator. Um, 470 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, and you hear a lot of stuff going 471 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: on the radio about supply chain and fuel costs, and 472 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot more that goes in 473 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: goes into it than a lot of people realize. Um, 474 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, France down are you? Are you an owner operator? 475 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: You work for a company. I'm an owner operator, sir. 476 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: Oh okay. So how many trucks do you have? You 477 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: just have the one or you have a couple. I've 478 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: just got the one. I'm working on it. I actually 479 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: just got rid of my tractor just because you know 480 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: the obscene costs um and bought a Dulli in a 481 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: forty foot flat bed to pull behind it. And I'm 482 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: gonna run them like that for about a month and 483 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: good feel you know. Obviously obviously it's these are hard 484 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: times right now. Look, trucking has slowed somewhat of the summer, 485 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: but you know when I know, it's seasonal, so you're 486 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna pick up probably in the fall. Right, Well, this 487 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: is technically supposed to be the good time of year 488 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: to run. Um, yeah, you know. But but the thing 489 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: is with the with the diesel prices getting you know, 490 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: sky high, what a lot of people don't understand is 491 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: that that that lowers the amount of things that are 492 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: getting shipped. Right, And think of it like supplying demand, 493 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: when when everybody wants something, people that are selling it 494 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: can charge whatever they want. Okay, So as the fuel 495 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: prices go up, the amount of goods being shipped goes down, 496 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: which means they are less loads available and there's not 497 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: a lot of direct shipping going on unless you're you know, 498 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: one of the mega carriers. They don't really feel this 499 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: that much because they've got contracts with all these big 500 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: shippers where they're getting paid a set rate no matter 501 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: what happens, right, what's left, you know, goes out to 502 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: the brokers. So as a small business owner, owner operator, 503 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: you're going to get probably nine percent of your loads 504 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: that you run from the loadboards. Okay, the lowboards deal 505 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: with the brokers. Well, here's what happens. The shipper goes 506 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: to the broker who says, I have this load that 507 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: needs to be run. They may pay the broker four 508 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to get the load run. The broker can 509 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: pay the drivers whatever they want to pay. Right, that's 510 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: all true. I know about the bulletin board, I know 511 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: about the brokers. I know because I'm friends in the 512 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: trucking business. However, it's your truck. You get to pick 513 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: what loads you're going to take and which loads you're 514 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: not going to take. And by the way, it's an 515 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: art form to map it out where you drop off 516 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: a load and you don't have to drive too far 517 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: to get another load, right right, Well that is that 518 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: is true to an extent. But you know, at the 519 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: same time, if you own a eliminated stand, you're not 520 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: going to stop sound leiminate because you don't want to 521 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: use those particular limits, you know. So it's there are 522 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: times where you're going to have to take loads that 523 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: that are not as profitable should right, Well, look, I 524 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,239 Speaker 1: the only the only thing I could say to you 525 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: is you know your your smart guy. I can hear 526 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: it in your voice. Just just be super smart about it. 527 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: And if it's not worth taking that load, it's not 528 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: worth taking that load, period And it's got to make 529 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: financial sense or else. You know, you don't work for free. 530 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: And in this environment where diesel prices are high, people 531 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: have to expect the cost to go up. So you know, 532 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: make sure you're a tough negotiator and lean on those 533 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: brokers because all of those loads are up to bid, 534 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: and you know what, they need to get those orders. 535 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: They need to get those trucks there to get those 536 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: supplies out of us. They're not gonna be brokers very long. 537 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: But I do sympathize with what you're going through. And 538 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: I also want to thank you for what you do 539 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: because everything we have and every story go to got 540 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: there because of guys like you.
