1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Scott Shannon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, our number if you

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. I've been

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: saying that this country overwhelmingly voted for dramatic change in Washington,

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: and for all those conservatives out there, and that would

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: even include establishment conservatives, they've given lip service to the

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: idea of cutting ways, fraud, abuse, etc. Viveg Ramaswami, who

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: along with Elon Musk, is going to be heading up

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency, welcome back to the program, sir,

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: And you know, conservatives have given lip service to this

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: idea of ending waste, fraud, abuse, and cutting the bloated

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: bureaucracy in Washington. I have hope, really for the first

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: time of my adult life, that this is serious. You

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: mean it, it's real, and it's going to happen.

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Sean, that's exactly right. Because politicians, frankly, even Republicans,

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: have paid lip service to this subjective for a long time.

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: Very little has ever happened. And that's why we're doing

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: things differently. First of all, we've got a president who

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: is himself an outsider, who is elected with a decisive mandate.

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: With both Houses of Congress under Republican control and a

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: six to three majority on the Supreme Court of conservative justices.

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: The last time those stars have aligned is basically never

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: in modern American history. So it's a rare moment. And

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: we're also doing things differently. Where Elon and I were

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: not politicians, we are outsiders. We're entrepreneurs. We're not joining

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: the government. We're outside volunteers because we've got to preserve

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: that creativity and latitude that when you join the government

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: to I.

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Mean, you're going to be doing this for free.

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: I'm just asking yes, Yes, Elon and I are not

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: in this for the money. We're in this for saving

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: the country.

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: And Tom, well, you've.

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Been pretty successful. I got to tip my hat to you.

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: So you are a successful business guy.

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I've built multi billion dollar businesses. I've a

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: self made billionaire before the age of forty, and I've

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: got two kids who I'm worried are going to go

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: up in a country where they can't live that American

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: dream unless we actually pass it on. And the federal

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: bureaucracy is I think the number one obstacle Shaan standing

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: in the way it is the growth of this nanny

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: state in the United States of America and the administrative

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: bureaucracy required to administer it. It's anti American. It's also

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: anti constitutional because right now, the people we elect to

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: run the government, they're not even the ones who are

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: actually running the government. It's the unelected bureaucrats who are

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: making most policies. And that is a betrayal of democracy

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: and what our republic is supposed to be about. And

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: so this project is as much about efficiency and saving dollars,

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: which is of course important. It's as much about that

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: as it is restoring self governance in America. And yes,

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: I am confident we're going to do both those things.

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: And one of the things that's also different, Sean is

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: most government programs, I think Reagan said it is the

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: closest thing to eternal life, is a new government program.

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Most government programs never die, they never go away. With DOGE,

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: we're doing it differently. We have set an expiration date

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: for DOGE of July fourth, twenty twenty six. How do

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: we pick that? Well, first of all, we wanted to

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: get this done in a year and a half. And

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: the second of all is that sactly the two hundred

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday of the United States of America, the

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: And I can think of no better gift to our

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: nation than a smaller government of a size that would

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: make our founding fathers proud. And so that's what we're

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: working at breakneck speed to achieve. We're already getting started underway.

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: And I think that the way I look at it, Sean,

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: is it's now or never. If we don't get it

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: done this time, it's not going to happen in America.

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: But it is going to happen this time because of

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: the mandate that we've been given by the people of

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: this country. Elon and I are excited. We've got getting

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: our hands dirty all the way easy to talk about this.

76
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: The harder part is going to be executing it. But

77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: we're up to the challenge and we know we're going

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: to face resistance. We're okay with that. We're ready for it.

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: It's not just about ending waste, fraud and abuse. It's

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: also what we're talking about is America returning to its

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: founding principles, and that would be limited government, greater freedom.

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: And you've gone into some detail as has Elon, and

83
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: that you expect certain agencies to just outright be deleted

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: and returning other departments to the states where they would

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: be better able to handle it. For example, that in education,

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: I think that should be done on the local level.

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: But we're talking about the FEC, the SEC. What departments

88
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: outright are you talking about that you expect can be deleted?

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: Look, I think that we're going to get into the

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: specific details on January twentieth and onward. We're not going

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: to play our cards too specifically beforehand because we know

92
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: the resistance we're going to run into. We also want

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: to give ourselves the time and latitude, as we're doing

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: right now, to dig into those details. But what people

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: can expect is a mass downsizing, not an incremental downsizing,

96
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: a mass downsizing of the fourth branch of government, the

97
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: administrative state. The people who work in three letter agencies,

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: even agencies that aren't deleted, are going to see mass

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: headcount reductions. They're going to see mass reductions in the

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: number of regulations that they're enforcing or allowed to enforce, because,

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: after all, the Supreme Court has told the administrative State

102
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: that many of those regulations are unconstitutional. So this is

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: about realigning our constitutional republic with our founding principles, actually

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: following the US Constitution with three branches of government, not four.

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: And are there going to be some agencies that are

106
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: outright eliminated as part of that. Yes, One the President

107
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Trump has talked about openly is the US Department of Education.

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: You mentioned it as well, But that is an example

109
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: of the kind of agency that need not actually exist

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: for our future republic to thrive. And that's the approach

111
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: that we're taking. Sewan Is. It's not an incremental approach.

112
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: I think if you take an incremental approach, that's going

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: to be set up for failure that's been tried before.

114
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: But if you take an actual quantum leap approach, and

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: I do think that that's why we're approaching this as

116
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs and not politicians. If you take that quantum leap approach,

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: fighting success is actually going to be achievable and nothing

118
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: it's easy. But I'm saying we're up for the challenge,

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: and I believe that we're going to do something that

120
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been done in modern American history because that's what

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: saving our country requires.

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I think it will include or must include the elimination

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: of baseline budgeting, which, for those people that may not know,

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: that would mean the built in increases in every department,

125
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: in spending and all throughout government every year without any

126
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: reductions at all. Years ago, there was something called the

127
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: Penny Plan that would if you cut one penny out

128
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: of every dollar and didn't increase spending every year for

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: seven years, you would have balanced the budget. That was

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: put forward by then Congressman Connie Mack, who promises the

131
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: President has made, and one is to modernize our military

132
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: and get rid of woke and increase recruitment. It scares

133
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: me that China and Russia have hypersonic technology and we

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: do not. I think we're going to have to spend

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: a lot of money there preserving and and helping two

136
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: departments two promises to the American people. Social Security and

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: Medicare has to be high on the list. Both of

138
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: them are headed towards insolvency. We can't allow that to happen.

139
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: That was a promise made and it must be a

140
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: promise kept to the American people. I would imagine you

141
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: could reform them, but I do think that you're going

142
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: to have to look for other sources of income as well.

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I think the greatest opportunity financially that this country has

144
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: is the incredible energy resources that have gone untapped. And

145
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: if we start providing all the energy needs of Western

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Europe alone, this would make America would become the most

147
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: energy dominant country on the face of the earth and

148
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: make us an energy wealthy nation. And I think that

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: could down That could pay down the debt, and I

150
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: think it could do a lot of other things, lower taxes,

151
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: and everybody could benefit from it.

152
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right about that, Sean. And actually what stands

153
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: in the way of doing that comes back to the

154
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: regulatory state. Permitting is far more difficult than to be

155
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: opening up a new refinery, far more difficult than it

156
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: needs to be, as.

157
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: The last time we opened one forty years ago.

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, Sean. It's unacceptable in the United States of

159
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: America for us to squander the natural resources that God

160
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: has given this country for us to not be able

161
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: to use them. But if you think about every domain,

162
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: you think about healthcare, think about inefficiency, international defense, think

163
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 2: about the ineffectiveness of how we're harnessing our own energy,

164
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: it comes back down to the bureaucratic states. And so

165
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: in many ways, this project our Department of Government Efficiency

166
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: DOAJ This is I think the epicenter, it's the nerve

167
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: center for saving the country. And so the stakes are

168
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: high and we're up for the challenge. And I'm grateful

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: to President Trump for really being pretty creative and out

170
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: of the box. This is not something that presidents usually do.

171
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: You know, most presidents may at most may set up

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: some type of commission that's cutting ribbons and issuing final reports.

173
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: This isn't cutting ribbons. This is about cutting cost in

174
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: a serious way. It's about cutting bureaucracy in a serious way.

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: We're going to be doing it on a real time

176
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: basis in delivering those recommendations. And so I think that

177
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: this is going to be a historic opportunity. It's up

178
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: to us to seize it. We're going to have to

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: do a good job of explaining this to the American

180
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: people along the way, too, shots because you know, are

181
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: there going to be some bumps in the road if

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: you're looking at making cuts that deep, of course, and

183
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: I think most people understand that. Most people are taxpayers

184
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: who know that their tax dollars are not being spent properly,

185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: and the fact that there's a bureaucracy that's standing in

186
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: the way of this country is a major problem. Most

187
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: people get that, but I think we're going to have

188
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: to really do a better do a good job of

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: being able to explain that over the next year and

190
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: a half as we make some pretty serious changes.

191
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask this, are you prepared because the

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: bureaucracy will go to great lengths to protect the bureaucracy

193
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and stop you from instituting what are needed and fundamental

194
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: changes to how we approach governing. I mean, you're talking

195
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: about a top to bottom, you know, remake of what

196
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: we have come to know as this massive bureaucracy. I'm

197
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: fully supportive of it, and you rightly point out conservatives

198
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: have a given lip service to it, but when given

199
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity, they've never taken advantage of it. This is

200
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a lifetime. This maybe the only opportunity

201
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: our country ever has.

202
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: I agree with you, which is why we don't really

203
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: care about the resistance from the bureaucrats. And we're going

204
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: to get a lot of resistance from entrenched interests and

205
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: bureaucrats in Washington, DC that doesn't matter to us because

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: American people are on our side, voters are on our side,

207
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: and I think history is on our side. Our country

208
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: has thrived without the existence of this massive bureaucracy. That's

209
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: what our founder is envisioned. And I think we owe

210
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: it to this country, and we owe it to our history,

211
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: and we owe it to posterity to restore the government

212
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: that would make George Washington and our founding fathers proud.

213
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: One with three branches of government, not four, one without

214
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: some bureaucracy standing in the way. One where of congressmen

215
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: or senators don't do a good job of making the laws,

216
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: you can actually vote them out instead of he's unelected

217
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: bureaucrats who remain permanently highed. That's what this country demands

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: of us. And so yeah, are we up for the challenges.

219
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: There are going to be some resistance, Yes, but we're

220
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: ready for it. The people are with us, histories with us,

221
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: our constitution is with us, and that's what we're going

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: to need. And we're confident that that's we're going to

223
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: be able to use to see this through.

224
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: We've become very friendly. I've got to know you very well.

225
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: I've come to admire you. You're extraordinarily intelligent. And I

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: don't know Elon Musk on a personal level. I watch

227
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: what he does in fascination. I mean, the fact that

228
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: our government needs to rely on him to rescue to

229
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: these astronauts that are lost in space is insane to me.

230
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Space X, what he's been able to accomplish there is

231
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, Tesla is pretty amazing. It seems that he's

232
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: an engineering genius. What's your relationship like with him? Can

233
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: you give us any insight into the type of person

234
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: that he is?

235
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: Sure, you know, we've become good friends over the last

236
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: year and a half.

237
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: He's one I've.

238
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: Admired from afar, but I've really gotten to know him

239
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: over the last year and a half during my own

240
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: presidential campaign and afterwards. He is somebody who and I

241
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: don't say this lightly, Sean, he is somebody who is

242
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: really on a different plane. And I've met some of

243
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: the smartest people in the world.

244
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: Oh, people have said that about me, They said that

245
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm lost in space myself. But go ahead, I'm joking.

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: Well, you know in your own way also, Sean, right,

247
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: you're you're you're a genius in being able to communicate

248
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: ideas that people need to hear. I think elon Is

249
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: is a genius of an engineering variety who is able

250
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: to think outside of the constraints that normal people just

251
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: accept as the status quo. He has a unique vision

252
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: of being able to step outside the status quo and

253
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: ask what is possible if you start with a blank slate.

254
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: And so, you know, there aren't that many people as

255
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs who I sort of look up to and believe

256
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: that I can, you know, really learn meaningful things from.

257
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: Elon Is on that list, is at the top of

258
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: that list by far, And I think working with has

259
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: already been a pleasure. I think he's somebody who cares

260
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 2: about substance over politics or substance over process. I love

261
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: that about him. I've actually already learned a tremendous amount

262
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: from him, even in the short time we've known each

263
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: other and have given the shorter time that we've gotten

264
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: to work together. But I think that we, you know,

265
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: we have a similar vision, we have a similar orientation.

266
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: We're entrepreneurs in our heart. We like to create things.

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: We both dislike politics, but we've chosen to be in

268
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: the sport because our country requires it and We both

269
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: have kids who we care about growing up in a

270
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: country where they can actually live the American dream that

271
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: Elon and I have, and take his story. He came

272
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: to this country as an immigrant with nothing and built

273
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: himself up to be the most successful capitalist, literally in

274
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: world history. And for me, that's really resonant. My parents

275
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: came to this country with no money forty years ago.

276
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: I've gone on and found multi billion dollar companies and

277
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: you know it, became the youngest person ever to run

278
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: for US President as a Republican, And so that's what's

279
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: possible in this country. That's a Maria, that's the America

280
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: we know in love, and we share a passion for

281
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: reviving it. And you know, I think we're going to

282
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: make for I think a great team, and we're already

283
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: enjoying working together. But the hard work is still ahead

284
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: of us, and we're ready for the challenge.

285
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of change under President Trump,

286
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: but I think what you and Elan are doing are

287
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: the most exciting to me because as a conservative, all

288
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: these years I've I've preached about limited government, greater freedom,

289
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: ending waste for aud and abuse, and as I said earlier,

290
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: this is the first time in my life. I think

291
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: it will be accomplished. VIK will be with you every

292
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: step of the way, offering any support we can. My

293
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: best to you, my best to Elon, and you know,

294
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: getting America back to its true purpose, its constitutional order.

295
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: We appreciate you being with.

296
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Us, sir, Thank you, my Matt. Take care.

297
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one Shawn our number if you

298
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. All right,

299
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: twenty five now till the top of the hour. Eight

300
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one Shawn our number, if you

301
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Look, everybody

302
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: today needs a security system. And if you want to ask,

303
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: you know somebody you know that knows something. Who would

304
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: you ask about security? Well, that would be the brave

305
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: men and women of law enforcement. Now. One veteran officer

306
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: recently wrote to our friends at simply Safe Home Security,

307
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: thanking them for the peace of mind that he has

308
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: every time he leaves his home. Now he's worked on

309
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: everything from burglaries and home invasions and murders. He only

337
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: An r to be honest with you, I would like

338
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: you to consider challenging yours pasture and these women who

339
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: are refusing to get intimate with their partners or shave

340
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 5: their heads. I think I think we should all be

341
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: encouraging them to do so, and by doing so effectively

342
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 5: remove people like this who can infect their children from

343
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 5: the gene pool. I thank you three time.

344
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: So you want to get you You want these people

345
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: removed from the gene pool. You want me to you

346
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: want them assist it. You don't want them to procreate?

347
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying.

348
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, That's exactly right.

349
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: I think I think it's up to them do I

350
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: think this is a temporary reaction of most of them.

351
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't know their way of somehow rebelling or wanting

352
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: to be heard. You know, I don't know when we

353
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: went from the land of the Free and the home

354
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: of the brave to the land of the snowflake because

355
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: it's so snowflakeish to me, and so woke to me,

356
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: and so stupid to me, and on every front. But

357
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: in part I don't blame part of them for it.

358
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why they've been indoctrinated into lies.

359
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: They have been told that we Conservatives are garbage. They

360
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: have been told we're irredeemable deplorables. They've been told where bitter,

361
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: angry Americans that cling to God, guns are Bibles and religion.

362
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: They have been told falsehoods. Seniors in this country were

363
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: told by Kamala herself that Donald Trump will take away

364
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: their Social Security, their medicare. They have been told that

365
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: women that would be a national abortion ban if Donald

366
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Trump is elected president again. They were told that he

367
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: would limit access to birth control. They were told that

368
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: IVF treatment would go out the window, all of which

369
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: is completely false. That he would support Project twenty twenty five,

370
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: again completely false. He has no idea what Project twenty

371
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: twenty five is. He had no part of Project twenty

372
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: twenty five. I have no idea what's in Project twenty

373
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. And you know, with all the hoopla about it,

374
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: I don't even want to know. So in a sense,

375
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, for give them, for they know not what

376
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: they do because they've been lied to. And when a

377
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: president vice president of this country lies to you on

378
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: that level and tells you that if you elect this guy, X, Y,

379
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: and Z is gonna happen when it's not true, it does.

380
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: It does rile people up, just like they said he

381
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: was Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Anyway, Mike, you I hear

382
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But if you know, people don't want

383
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: to have sex, if they want to shave their heads,

384
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: if they want to, you know, hoard up on abortion pills,

385
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: have at it, if they want to divorce their husbands,

386
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: it's sad. I wouldn't recommend it over politics, but I

387
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: guess the marriage is not that strong to begin with.

388
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tom and New York. Tom,

389
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called hi?

390
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 6: Sean?

391
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: So?

392
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 6: I want to make a couple of quick points. First

393
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 6: of all, I own two Henry's thirty eight and a

394
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 6: forty five seventy rifle. Great great firearm, great manufacturer. That's

395
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 6: the first art.

396
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: By the way, aren't they the best? I mean, it's

397
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: HENRYUSA dot com. They're an advertiser on the show, and

398
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: they have the highest quality old school craftsmanship and combined

399
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: with modern technology. And I'm telling you it's such a

400
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: great company. And Anthony, the owner is such a great guy.

401
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

402
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 6: I chose the forty five to seventy because it goes

403
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 6: with my sharps eighteen fifty cat saddling in my thirty

404
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 6: eight sub though.

405
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 7: So that's it.

406
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 6: So the quote reason why McCall is mister Musk and

407
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 6: a swaby have a great plan. I listened to their plan.

408
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 6: I examine their plan, and that's what I want to hear.

409
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of the American public and

410
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: the Conservatives, Republicans, and the Democrats who voted for mister

411
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: Trump need to hear these plans. I don't really care

412
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 6: what the Democrats want to do. I don't care what

413
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 6: they have to say. I don't care if they're crying

414
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 6: on TV. I don't care about shaved heads. A lot

415
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 6: of us this is me an opinion, you don't want

416
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 6: to hear about this stuff. When they're washed up, they're done.

417
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: The Americans want to hear the plan what we're going

418
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 6: to do, not to the basic boiler plate. We're gonna drill,

419
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna do this, We're gonna we we want a plan.

420
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 6: We're always thriving for information. And once we hear the

421
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 6: plan coming from our elected, duly elected officials, mister Trump,

422
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 6: and I met mister Trump a couple of times, especially

423
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 6: in the Nation's Parade nineteen ninety five on this helicopter

424
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 6: at Floyd Bennett Field. Great great gentleman to talk to

425
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 6: when he was running the Grand Marshall of that ceremony.

426
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 6: But we need the plan, we want the plan. We

427
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 6: want to hear what the plan in detail, what it's

428
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: going to be. And the last thing is, as a

429
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 6: New Yorker you fled to Florida, God bless you. There's

430
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 6: been an uptick in criminal activity with knives, but yet

431
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 6: our governor and the Tish will not call the legislature

432
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 6: back into session to have knife control, knife permits, nice this,

433
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 6: nice that, because it's not a gun. And that's a

434
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 6: huge problem with a lot of us trying to blame

435
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 6: an an amid object versus the individuals committing the crime.

436
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 6: And I'll thank you very much.

437
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Listen, I appreciate all your saying. And this is the

438
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: problem with the New York and if you know you're

439
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: a criminal in New York and you get arrested, they

440
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: let you out of jail because they have this idiotic

441
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: no bail laws. And then we watched Judge Moreshawn earlier

442
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: today and the da Alvin Bragg, who is a he's

443
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: not appointed, it's a political office. And the left wing

444
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: in New York loves the fact that he hates Donald

445
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Trump and he's going to ride that, you know, into reelection.

446
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty insane. Anyway, eight hundred and ninety four one,

447
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Seawn our number if you want to be a part

448
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: of the program. Back to our busy phones. As we

Speaker 7: us crush the finished link, because I'll tell you, there

455
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: was a lot of times that I didn't think we

456
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 7: were going to make it. So thank you for that, and.

457
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,720

Speaker 1: for doing their part, because that's the only way it

459
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: was going to happen. I'm one voice, one vote. I

460
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: tried to get the information out there that everybody needed

461
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: and thankfully a lot of people understood what was at

462
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: stake in this election.

463
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 7: Well keep punching, Sean, because we need you. But currently

464
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 7: we're caught up in this euphoria with the victory that

465
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 7: we had, and it's you know, we need to do this.

466
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 7: But I think what America has to realize is the

467
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 7: left never never lets up, and they're they're working in

468
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 7: the background here. And my question to you is, since

469
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 7: you have your finger on the political pulse, and do

470
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 7: you really think and believe that the Republicans have the

471
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 7: political will and the courage to not only get their

472
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 7: cabinet candidates approved, but to carry out Trump's agenda. I

473
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 7: agree with the last caller, we want to see the plan,

474
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 7: but the plan. I'm no old football and rest coach,

475
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 7: and the plan doesn't do any good unless you execute it.

476
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: And oh, I mean you just heard viveg Ramaswami. Both

477
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: he and Ela Musk are staying outside of the government.

478
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: Do I think they will do a good job. Yes,

479
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: In the back of my mind, do I worry that

480
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: Republicans might react the way they that people in the

481
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: Reagan era reacted to the Grace Commission. Yeah, I worry

482
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: about that a little bit. I think that the first

483
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: order of business is going to be getting Donald Trump's

484
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: appointments through. There's been all this talk that he may

485
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: he may go to recess appointments. You know, well, if

486
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, whine and this is outrageous, and

487
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is bypassing the Senate and advising consent, et cetera,

488
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: et cetera. Well, it's not the first time there have

489
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: been recess appointments. Obama made over thirty of them. Bush

490
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: forty three made over one hundred and seventy of them.

491
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Bush forty one used a recess appointment for a Secretary

492
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: of State. So that's a lot of a recess appointing

493
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: that went on. And anyway, president since George Washington have

494
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: made recess appointments. Washington appointed South Carolina Judge John Rutledge

495
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: as the Chief Justice of the of the US during

496
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: a congressional recess in seventeen ninety five. If you want

497
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: me to go into some of the detail I went

498
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: into before. But President Reagan made two hundred and forty

499
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: recess appointments. That's an average at thirty a year. President

500
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush seventy seven recess appointments. That's a

501
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: lot of recess appointments. So we'll see what happens. I

502
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: would rather the Republicans in the Senate have a backbone

503
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: and understand the mandate that Donald Trump was given here.

504
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: But Donald Trump also, you know, he helped a lot

505
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: of these candidates get in as well. I'm not sure

506
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: Dave McCormick would have made it had Donald Trump not

507
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: been on the top of the ticket, for example, in Pennsylvania.

508
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: And I think he's going to do a great job.

509
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I think it certainly helped Bernie Marino, and I think

510
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: it helped a lot of other people congressional seats. It

511
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: was an eighty percent it was viewed. I think the

512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: betting markets even had about an eighty percent chance that

513
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: Democrats would take back the House. That didn't happen. So

514
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: this is a historic opportunity. The president won the popular

515
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: vote that had not happened since two thousand and four,

516
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: and I think that this is a mandate election. I

517
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: think it's the death of legacy media, as we've been discussing.

518
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's going to be up to

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: us too. You know, we can't just vote and go

520
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: away and not pay attention. I mean, we're going to

521
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: have to put pressure on elected officials, congressmen and senators

522
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: to do their job too, and their job is the

523
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Trump agenda right now. Anyway, I do appreciate to call

524
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you. Eight hundred and nine four one,

525
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: Sew you want to be a part of the program,

526
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: Let's get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred nine

527
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: four one, Shawn our number. If you'd like to join us,

528
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: let us hid to Melissa, North Carolina, Melissa, how are

529
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: you glad you called?

530
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing great show on How are you?

531
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm good? What's going on?

532
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 7: Well?

533
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: I have a question. So my question is if these

534
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 3: women are like boycotting sex for four years whatever, man,

535
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: why are they stop pulling the abortion pill?

536
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: That's a really good question. I don't really know. Maybe

537
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: they don't pay attention to news either. Because the Supreme

538
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Court ruled on the widespread availability of the abortion pill,

539
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: and they basically codified that into a law. So that

540
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: is almost a first trimester pill. It says up to

541
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: ten weeks, but so basically the first trimester. Women will

542
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: have access and availability to the abortion pill, which now

543
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: represents about sixty five percent of abortions in America.

544
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: Right, But if they're not having six I don't think

545
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: they need it, honestly, So maybe you need to do

546
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: a public service announcement to a runne people how pregnancy happens.

547
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're not having sex and they're

548
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: abstaining from sex. I'm totally pro choice in the and

549
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: what people doing their private life. If that's the way

550
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: they want to live their life, that's fine with me.

551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure it's going to go over well

552
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: with boyfriends and husbands.

553
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: My mommy, some people don't have the good chance. Gott

554
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: gave a billy good.

555
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: But if this is how they want to live their life.

556
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: But you'd make a great point. If you're not having sex,

557
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: you don't really need to stockpile abortion pills.

558
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking.

559
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're right. Anyway, appreciate the call.

560
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Melissa. If you make my day, Let's say hi.

561
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: I will stay on the topic with Jeff and Oklahoma. Jeff,

562
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?

563
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

564
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: Great, sir, how are you good?

565
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: What's going on, oh Man.

566
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 4: I first off, as a homeschool dad in Oklahoma, I

567
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: want to say that on election night you called a

568
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: lot of nerves that we had when you said you

569
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 4: had never been more confident in anything in your life.

570
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: I believe when you were talking about Georgia and North Carolina.

571
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: So thank you for calling those nerves at the time.

572
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's so funny. More people have commented

573
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: to me about the comments I made about nine thirty

574
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: nine on Fox when I was on with the panel,

575
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: and I spoke twice, and once I went over the

576
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: numbers and why I thought it was mathematically impossible going

577
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: into election day that I said that Kamala had a

578
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: math problem. Joe Biden went into Pennsylvania on election day

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty with a one point one million vote lead.

580
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: He won by less than one hundred thousand way less

581
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: than one hundred thousand. Kamala only went in with a

582
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand vote lead. That was a deficit of

583
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand votes. I spent the day talking to

584
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: people in heavily democratic areas in Pennsylvania that would be Philly,

585
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: that would be Alleganty County, for example, and I knew

586
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: that the turnout was nowhere near what would have been

587
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: historic and necessary for her to catch up. So I

588
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: have great contacts in Georgia. Georgia was baked, it was done.

589
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was going to win Georgia, he was going

590
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: to win North Carolina. I had good sources there. I

591
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: knew that he would win Arizona by that point, and

592
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: likely Nevada, which he ended up winning. I also knew

593
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: that she had the same numbers problem and deficit problem

594
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin based on early voting, because she was forty

595
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: forty five percent down from where Joe Biden was in

596
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And it's amazing when I said that, and

597
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: I said, look, I may be get getting over my skis.

598
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: If I turn out to be wrong, you can print

599
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Hannity was wrong, t shirts. But here's how the night's

600
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: going to unfold. And I turned out being right because

601
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: I've worked the phones all day and that's that's what

602
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: I do for a living, and I'm supposed to be right.

603
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have said it.

604
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: And even close friends of mine said they knew it

605
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: was over the minute I said what I said, or

606
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: else I would not have said it, and they're right.

607
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad it gave you some piece that night, though,

608
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: so I hope you know that it came from a

609
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: place of a lot of research and a lot of calling.

610
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: I was doing making a lot of calls that day

611
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: and night. Anyway, my friend, thank you eight hundred and

612
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be part

613
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: of the program,
