Speaker 1: Thank you, Scott Shannon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, our number if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. I've been
Speaker 1: saying that this country overwhelmingly voted for dramatic change in Washington,
Speaker 1: and for all those conservatives out there, and that would
Speaker 1: even include establishment conservatives, they've given lip service to the
Speaker 1: idea of cutting ways, fraud, abuse, etc. Viveg Ramaswami, who
Speaker 1: along with Elon Musk, is going to be heading up
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency, welcome back to the program, sir,
Speaker 1: And you know, conservatives have given lip service to this
Speaker 1: idea of ending waste, fraud, abuse, and cutting the bloated
Speaker 1: bureaucracy in Washington. I have hope, really for the first
Speaker 1: time of my adult life, that this is serious. You
Speaker 1: mean it, it's real, and it's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sean, that's exactly right. Because politicians, frankly, even Republicans,
Speaker 2: have paid lip service to this subjective for a long time.
Speaker 2: Very little has ever happened. And that's why we're doing
Speaker 2: things differently. First of all, we've got a president who
Speaker 2: is himself an outsider, who is elected with a decisive mandate.
Speaker 2: With both Houses of Congress under Republican control and a
Speaker 2: six to three majority on the Supreme Court of conservative justices.
Speaker 2: The last time those stars have aligned is basically never
Speaker 2: in modern American history. So it's a rare moment. And
Speaker 2: we're also doing things differently. Where Elon and I were
Speaker 2: not politicians, we are outsiders. We're entrepreneurs. We're not joining
Speaker 2: the government. We're outside volunteers because we've got to preserve
Speaker 2: that creativity and latitude that when you join the government
Speaker 2: to I.
Speaker 1: Mean, you're going to be doing this for free.
Speaker 2: I'm just asking yes, Yes, Elon and I are not
Speaker 2: in this for the money. We're in this for saving
Speaker 2: the country.
Speaker 3: And Tom, well, you've.
Speaker 1: Been pretty successful. I got to tip my hat to you.
Speaker 1: So you are a successful business guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I've built multi billion dollar businesses. I've a
Speaker 2: self made billionaire before the age of forty, and I've
Speaker 2: got two kids who I'm worried are going to go
Speaker 2: up in a country where they can't live that American
Speaker 2: dream unless we actually pass it on. And the federal
Speaker 2: bureaucracy is I think the number one obstacle Shaan standing
Speaker 2: in the way it is the growth of this nanny
Speaker 2: state in the United States of America and the administrative
Speaker 2: bureaucracy required to administer it. It's anti American. It's also
Speaker 2: anti constitutional because right now, the people we elect to
Speaker 2: run the government, they're not even the ones who are
Speaker 2: actually running the government. It's the unelected bureaucrats who are
Speaker 2: making most policies. And that is a betrayal of democracy
Speaker 2: and what our republic is supposed to be about. And
Speaker 2: so this project is as much about efficiency and saving dollars,
Speaker 2: which is of course important. It's as much about that
Speaker 2: as it is restoring self governance in America. And yes,
Speaker 2: I am confident we're going to do both those things.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that's also different, Sean is
Speaker 2: most government programs, I think Reagan said it is the
Speaker 2: closest thing to eternal life, is a new government program.
Speaker 2: Most government programs never die, they never go away. With DOGE,
Speaker 2: we're doing it differently. We have set an expiration date
Speaker 2: for DOGE of July fourth, twenty twenty six. How do
Speaker 2: we pick that? Well, first of all, we wanted to
Speaker 2: get this done in a year and a half. And
Speaker 2: the second of all is that sactly the two hundred
Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday of the United States of America, the
Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 2: And I can think of no better gift to our
Speaker 2: nation than a smaller government of a size that would
Speaker 2: make our founding fathers proud. And so that's what we're
Speaker 2: working at breakneck speed to achieve. We're already getting started underway.
Speaker 2: And I think that the way I look at it, Sean,
Speaker 2: is it's now or never. If we don't get it
Speaker 2: done this time, it's not going to happen in America.
Speaker 2: But it is going to happen this time because of
Speaker 2: the mandate that we've been given by the people of
Speaker 2: this country. Elon and I are excited. We've got getting
Speaker 2: our hands dirty all the way easy to talk about this.
Speaker 2: The harder part is going to be executing it. But
Speaker 2: we're up to the challenge and we know we're going
Speaker 2: to face resistance. We're okay with that. We're ready for it.
Speaker 1: It's not just about ending waste, fraud and abuse. It's
Speaker 1: also what we're talking about is America returning to its
Speaker 1: founding principles, and that would be limited government, greater freedom.
Speaker 1: And you've gone into some detail as has Elon, and
Speaker 1: that you expect certain agencies to just outright be deleted
Speaker 1: and returning other departments to the states where they would
Speaker 1: be better able to handle it. For example, that in education,
Speaker 1: I think that should be done on the local level.
Speaker 1: But we're talking about the FEC, the SEC. What departments
Speaker 1: outright are you talking about that you expect can be deleted?
Speaker 2: Look, I think that we're going to get into the
Speaker 2: specific details on January twentieth and onward. We're not going
Speaker 2: to play our cards too specifically beforehand because we know
Speaker 2: the resistance we're going to run into. We also want
Speaker 2: to give ourselves the time and latitude, as we're doing
Speaker 2: right now, to dig into those details. But what people
Speaker 2: can expect is a mass downsizing, not an incremental downsizing,
Speaker 2: a mass downsizing of the fourth branch of government, the
Speaker 2: administrative state. The people who work in three letter agencies,
Speaker 2: even agencies that aren't deleted, are going to see mass
Speaker 2: headcount reductions. They're going to see mass reductions in the
Speaker 2: number of regulations that they're enforcing or allowed to enforce, because,
Speaker 2: after all, the Supreme Court has told the administrative State
Speaker 2: that many of those regulations are unconstitutional. So this is
Speaker 2: about realigning our constitutional republic with our founding principles, actually
Speaker 2: following the US Constitution with three branches of government, not four.
Speaker 2: And are there going to be some agencies that are
Speaker 2: outright eliminated as part of that. Yes, One the President
Speaker 2: Trump has talked about openly is the US Department of Education.
Speaker 2: You mentioned it as well, But that is an example
Speaker 2: of the kind of agency that need not actually exist
Speaker 2: for our future republic to thrive. And that's the approach
Speaker 2: that we're taking. Sewan Is. It's not an incremental approach.
Speaker 2: I think if you take an incremental approach, that's going
Speaker 2: to be set up for failure that's been tried before.
Speaker 2: But if you take an actual quantum leap approach, and
Speaker 2: I do think that that's why we're approaching this as
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs and not politicians. If you take that quantum leap approach,
Speaker 2: fighting success is actually going to be achievable and nothing
Speaker 2: it's easy. But I'm saying we're up for the challenge,
Speaker 2: and I believe that we're going to do something that
Speaker 2: hasn't been done in modern American history because that's what
Speaker 2: saving our country requires.
Speaker 1: I think it will include or must include the elimination
Speaker 1: of baseline budgeting, which, for those people that may not know,
Speaker 1: that would mean the built in increases in every department,
Speaker 1: in spending and all throughout government every year without any
Speaker 1: reductions at all. Years ago, there was something called the
Speaker 1: Penny Plan that would if you cut one penny out
Speaker 1: of every dollar and didn't increase spending every year for
Speaker 1: seven years, you would have balanced the budget. That was
Speaker 1: put forward by then Congressman Connie Mack, who promises the
Speaker 1: President has made, and one is to modernize our military
Speaker 1: and get rid of woke and increase recruitment. It scares
Speaker 1: me that China and Russia have hypersonic technology and we
Speaker 1: do not. I think we're going to have to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of money there preserving and and helping two
Speaker 1: departments two promises to the American people. Social Security and
Speaker 1: Medicare has to be high on the list. Both of
Speaker 1: them are headed towards insolvency. We can't allow that to happen.
Speaker 1: That was a promise made and it must be a
Speaker 1: promise kept to the American people. I would imagine you
Speaker 1: could reform them, but I do think that you're going
Speaker 1: to have to look for other sources of income as well.
Speaker 1: I think the greatest opportunity financially that this country has
Speaker 1: is the incredible energy resources that have gone untapped. And
Speaker 1: if we start providing all the energy needs of Western
Speaker 1: Europe alone, this would make America would become the most
Speaker 1: energy dominant country on the face of the earth and
Speaker 1: make us an energy wealthy nation. And I think that
Speaker 1: could down That could pay down the debt, and I
Speaker 1: think it could do a lot of other things, lower taxes,
Speaker 1: and everybody could benefit from it.
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right about that, Sean. And actually what stands
Speaker 2: in the way of doing that comes back to the
Speaker 2: regulatory state. Permitting is far more difficult than to be
Speaker 2: opening up a new refinery, far more difficult than it
Speaker 2: needs to be, as.
Speaker 1: The last time we opened one forty years ago.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, Sean. It's unacceptable in the United States of
Speaker 2: America for us to squander the natural resources that God
Speaker 2: has given this country for us to not be able
Speaker 2: to use them. But if you think about every domain,
Speaker 2: you think about healthcare, think about inefficiency, international defense, think
Speaker 2: about the ineffectiveness of how we're harnessing our own energy,
Speaker 2: it comes back down to the bureaucratic states. And so
Speaker 2: in many ways, this project our Department of Government Efficiency
Speaker 2: DOAJ This is I think the epicenter, it's the nerve
Speaker 2: center for saving the country. And so the stakes are
Speaker 2: high and we're up for the challenge. And I'm grateful
Speaker 2: to President Trump for really being pretty creative and out
Speaker 2: of the box. This is not something that presidents usually do.
Speaker 2: You know, most presidents may at most may set up
Speaker 2: some type of commission that's cutting ribbons and issuing final reports.
Speaker 2: This isn't cutting ribbons. This is about cutting cost in
Speaker 2: a serious way. It's about cutting bureaucracy in a serious way.
Speaker 2: We're going to be doing it on a real time
Speaker 2: basis in delivering those recommendations. And so I think that
Speaker 2: this is going to be a historic opportunity. It's up
Speaker 2: to us to seize it. We're going to have to
Speaker 2: do a good job of explaining this to the American
Speaker 2: people along the way, too, shots because you know, are
Speaker 2: there going to be some bumps in the road if
Speaker 2: you're looking at making cuts that deep, of course, and
Speaker 2: I think most people understand that. Most people are taxpayers
Speaker 2: who know that their tax dollars are not being spent properly,
Speaker 2: and the fact that there's a bureaucracy that's standing in
Speaker 2: the way of this country is a major problem. Most
Speaker 2: people get that, but I think we're going to have
Speaker 2: to really do a better do a good job of
Speaker 2: being able to explain that over the next year and
Speaker 2: a half as we make some pretty serious changes.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask this, are you prepared because the
Speaker 1: bureaucracy will go to great lengths to protect the bureaucracy
Speaker 1: and stop you from instituting what are needed and fundamental
Speaker 1: changes to how we approach governing. I mean, you're talking
Speaker 1: about a top to bottom, you know, remake of what
Speaker 1: we have come to know as this massive bureaucracy. I'm
Speaker 1: fully supportive of it, and you rightly point out conservatives
Speaker 1: have a given lip service to it, but when given
Speaker 1: the opportunity, they've never taken advantage of it. This is
Speaker 1: the opportunity of a lifetime. This maybe the only opportunity
Speaker 1: our country ever has.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, which is why we don't really
Speaker 2: care about the resistance from the bureaucrats. And we're going
Speaker 2: to get a lot of resistance from entrenched interests and
Speaker 2: bureaucrats in Washington, DC that doesn't matter to us because
Speaker 2: American people are on our side, voters are on our side,
Speaker 2: and I think history is on our side. Our country
Speaker 2: has thrived without the existence of this massive bureaucracy. That's
Speaker 2: what our founder is envisioned. And I think we owe
Speaker 2: it to this country, and we owe it to our history,
Speaker 2: and we owe it to posterity to restore the government
Speaker 2: that would make George Washington and our founding fathers proud.
Speaker 2: One with three branches of government, not four, one without
Speaker 2: some bureaucracy standing in the way. One where of congressmen
Speaker 2: or senators don't do a good job of making the laws,
Speaker 2: you can actually vote them out instead of he's unelected
Speaker 2: bureaucrats who remain permanently highed. That's what this country demands
Speaker 2: of us. And so yeah, are we up for the challenges.
Speaker 2: There are going to be some resistance, Yes, but we're
Speaker 2: ready for it. The people are with us, histories with us,
Speaker 2: our constitution is with us, and that's what we're going
Speaker 2: to need. And we're confident that that's we're going to
Speaker 2: be able to use to see this through.
Speaker 1: We've become very friendly. I've got to know you very well.
Speaker 1: I've come to admire you. You're extraordinarily intelligent. And I
Speaker 1: don't know Elon Musk on a personal level. I watch
Speaker 1: what he does in fascination. I mean, the fact that
Speaker 1: our government needs to rely on him to rescue to
Speaker 1: these astronauts that are lost in space is insane to me.
Speaker 1: Space X, what he's been able to accomplish there is
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, Tesla is pretty amazing. It seems that he's
Speaker 1: an engineering genius. What's your relationship like with him? Can
Speaker 1: you give us any insight into the type of person
Speaker 1: that he is?
Speaker 2: Sure, you know, we've become good friends over the last
Speaker 2: year and a half.
Speaker 4: He's one I've.
Speaker 2: Admired from afar, but I've really gotten to know him
Speaker 2: over the last year and a half during my own
Speaker 2: presidential campaign and afterwards. He is somebody who and I
Speaker 2: don't say this lightly, Sean, he is somebody who is
Speaker 2: really on a different plane. And I've met some of
Speaker 2: the smartest people in the world.
Speaker 1: Oh, people have said that about me, They said that
Speaker 1: I'm lost in space myself. But go ahead, I'm joking.
Speaker 2: Well, you know in your own way also, Sean, right,
Speaker 2: you're you're you're a genius in being able to communicate
Speaker 2: ideas that people need to hear. I think elon Is
Speaker 2: is a genius of an engineering variety who is able
Speaker 2: to think outside of the constraints that normal people just
Speaker 2: accept as the status quo. He has a unique vision
Speaker 2: of being able to step outside the status quo and
Speaker 2: ask what is possible if you start with a blank slate.
Speaker 2: And so, you know, there aren't that many people as
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs who I sort of look up to and believe
Speaker 2: that I can, you know, really learn meaningful things from.
Speaker 2: Elon Is on that list, is at the top of
Speaker 2: that list by far, And I think working with has
Speaker 2: already been a pleasure. I think he's somebody who cares
Speaker 2: about substance over politics or substance over process. I love
Speaker 2: that about him. I've actually already learned a tremendous amount
Speaker 2: from him, even in the short time we've known each
Speaker 2: other and have given the shorter time that we've gotten
Speaker 2: to work together. But I think that we, you know,
Speaker 2: we have a similar vision, we have a similar orientation.
Speaker 2: We're entrepreneurs in our heart. We like to create things.
Speaker 2: We both dislike politics, but we've chosen to be in
Speaker 2: the sport because our country requires it and We both
Speaker 2: have kids who we care about growing up in a
Speaker 2: country where they can actually live the American dream that
Speaker 2: Elon and I have, and take his story. He came
Speaker 2: to this country as an immigrant with nothing and built
Speaker 2: himself up to be the most successful capitalist, literally in
Speaker 2: world history. And for me, that's really resonant. My parents
Speaker 2: came to this country with no money forty years ago.
Speaker 2: I've gone on and found multi billion dollar companies and
Speaker 2: you know it, became the youngest person ever to run
Speaker 2: for US President as a Republican, And so that's what's
Speaker 2: possible in this country. That's a Maria, that's the America
Speaker 2: we know in love, and we share a passion for
Speaker 2: reviving it. And you know, I think we're going to
Speaker 2: make for I think a great team, and we're already
Speaker 2: enjoying working together. But the hard work is still ahead
Speaker 2: of us, and we're ready for the challenge.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of change under President Trump,
Speaker 1: but I think what you and Elan are doing are
Speaker 1: the most exciting to me because as a conservative, all
Speaker 1: these years I've I've preached about limited government, greater freedom,
Speaker 1: ending waste for aud and abuse, and as I said earlier,
Speaker 1: this is the first time in my life. I think
Speaker 1: it will be accomplished. VIK will be with you every
Speaker 1: step of the way, offering any support we can. My
Speaker 1: best to you, my best to Elon, and you know,
Speaker 1: getting America back to its true purpose, its constitutional order.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you being with.
Speaker 2: Us, sir, Thank you, my Matt. Take care.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one Shawn our number if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. All right,
Speaker 1: twenty five now till the top of the hour. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one Shawn our number, if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Look, everybody
Speaker 1: today needs a security system. And if you want to ask,
Speaker 1: you know somebody you know that knows something. Who would
Speaker 1: you ask about security? Well, that would be the brave
Speaker 1: men and women of law enforcement. Now. One veteran officer
Speaker 1: recently wrote to our friends at simply Safe Home Security,
Speaker 1: thanking them for the peace of mind that he has
Speaker 1: every time he leaves his home. Now he's worked on
Speaker 1: everything from burglaries and home invasions and murders. He only
Speaker 1: trusts simply Safe. Right now, you get sixty percent off
Speaker 1: a new simply Safe home security system. You go to

Speaker 1: around acting suspiciously, well, simply safe Live agents will see
Speaker 1: them in real time. They'll talk to them directly. Sir,

Speaker 1: plan at simplysafe dot com slash Hannity two day. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy telephone, shall we. Let's say
Speaker 1: hi to Mikey's in Colorado. Mike, how are you glad
Speaker 1: you called? Thanks for being with.
Speaker 5: Us, Thanks for having me. Sean, I appreciate everything you do.
Speaker 5: An r to be honest with you, I would like
Speaker 5: you to consider challenging yours pasture and these women who
Speaker 5: are refusing to get intimate with their partners or shave
Speaker 5: their heads. I think I think we should all be
Speaker 5: encouraging them to do so, and by doing so effectively
Speaker 5: remove people like this who can infect their children from
Speaker 5: the gene pool. I thank you three time.
Speaker 1: So you want to get you You want these people
Speaker 1: removed from the gene pool. You want me to you
Speaker 1: want them assist it. You don't want them to procreate?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's up to them do I
Speaker 1: think this is a temporary reaction of most of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know their way of somehow rebelling or wanting
Speaker 1: to be heard. You know, I don't know when we
Speaker 1: went from the land of the Free and the home
Speaker 1: of the brave to the land of the snowflake because
Speaker 1: it's so snowflakeish to me, and so woke to me,
Speaker 1: and so stupid to me, and on every front. But
Speaker 1: in part I don't blame part of them for it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why they've been indoctrinated into lies.
Speaker 1: They have been told that we Conservatives are garbage. They
Speaker 1: have been told we're irredeemable deplorables. They've been told where bitter,
Speaker 1: angry Americans that cling to God, guns are Bibles and religion.
Speaker 1: They have been told falsehoods. Seniors in this country were
Speaker 1: told by Kamala herself that Donald Trump will take away
Speaker 1: their Social Security, their medicare. They have been told that
Speaker 1: women that would be a national abortion ban if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is elected president again. They were told that he
Speaker 1: would limit access to birth control. They were told that
Speaker 1: IVF treatment would go out the window, all of which
Speaker 1: is completely false. That he would support Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: again completely false. He has no idea what Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five is. He had no part of Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. I have no idea what's in Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. And you know, with all the hoopla about it,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to know. So in a sense,
Speaker 1: you know, for give them, for they know not what
Speaker 1: they do because they've been lied to. And when a
Speaker 1: president vice president of this country lies to you on
Speaker 1: that level and tells you that if you elect this guy, X, Y,
Speaker 1: and Z is gonna happen when it's not true, it does.
Speaker 1: It does rile people up, just like they said he
Speaker 1: was Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Anyway, Mike, you I hear
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But if you know, people don't want
Speaker 1: to have sex, if they want to shave their heads,
Speaker 1: if they want to, you know, hoard up on abortion pills,
Speaker 1: have at it, if they want to divorce their husbands,
Speaker 1: it's sad. I wouldn't recommend it over politics, but I
Speaker 1: guess the marriage is not that strong to begin with.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tom and New York. Tom,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called hi?
Speaker 6: Sean?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 6: I want to make a couple of quick points. First
Speaker 6: of all, I own two Henry's thirty eight and a
Speaker 6: forty five seventy rifle. Great great firearm, great manufacturer. That's
Speaker 6: the first art.
Speaker 1: By the way, aren't they the best? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: HENRYUSA dot com. They're an advertiser on the show, and
Speaker 1: they have the highest quality old school craftsmanship and combined
Speaker 1: with modern technology. And I'm telling you it's such a
Speaker 1: great company. And Anthony, the owner is such a great guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I chose the forty five to seventy because it goes
Speaker 6: with my sharps eighteen fifty cat saddling in my thirty
Speaker 6: eight sub though.
Speaker 7: So that's it.
Speaker 6: So the quote reason why McCall is mister Musk and
Speaker 6: a swaby have a great plan. I listened to their plan.
Speaker 6: I examine their plan, and that's what I want to hear.
Speaker 6: And I think a lot of the American public and
Speaker 6: the Conservatives, Republicans, and the Democrats who voted for mister
Speaker 6: Trump need to hear these plans. I don't really care
Speaker 6: what the Democrats want to do. I don't care what
Speaker 6: they have to say. I don't care if they're crying
Speaker 6: on TV. I don't care about shaved heads. A lot
Speaker 6: of us this is me an opinion, you don't want
Speaker 6: to hear about this stuff. When they're washed up, they're done.
Speaker 6: The Americans want to hear the plan what we're going
Speaker 6: to do, not to the basic boiler plate. We're gonna drill,
Speaker 6: We're gonna do this, We're gonna we we want a plan.
Speaker 6: We're always thriving for information. And once we hear the
Speaker 6: plan coming from our elected, duly elected officials, mister Trump,
Speaker 6: and I met mister Trump a couple of times, especially
Speaker 6: in the Nation's Parade nineteen ninety five on this helicopter
Speaker 6: at Floyd Bennett Field. Great great gentleman to talk to
Speaker 6: when he was running the Grand Marshall of that ceremony.
Speaker 6: But we need the plan, we want the plan. We
Speaker 6: want to hear what the plan in detail, what it's
Speaker 6: going to be. And the last thing is, as a
Speaker 6: New Yorker you fled to Florida, God bless you. There's
Speaker 6: been an uptick in criminal activity with knives, but yet
Speaker 6: our governor and the Tish will not call the legislature
Speaker 6: back into session to have knife control, knife permits, nice this,
Speaker 6: nice that, because it's not a gun. And that's a
Speaker 6: huge problem with a lot of us trying to blame
Speaker 6: an an amid object versus the individuals committing the crime.
Speaker 6: And I'll thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Listen, I appreciate all your saying. And this is the
Speaker 1: problem with the New York and if you know you're
Speaker 1: a criminal in New York and you get arrested, they
Speaker 1: let you out of jail because they have this idiotic
Speaker 1: no bail laws. And then we watched Judge Moreshawn earlier
Speaker 1: today and the da Alvin Bragg, who is a he's
Speaker 1: not appointed, it's a political office. And the left wing
Speaker 1: in New York loves the fact that he hates Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and he's going to ride that, you know, into reelection.
Speaker 1: It's pretty insane. Anyway, eight hundred and ninety four one,
Speaker 1: Seawn our number if you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. Back to our busy phones. As we
Speaker 1: say hi to Fred in Illinois, Fred, how are you
Speaker 1: glad you called Hi?
Speaker 7: Sean. I just want to take this opportunity quickly to
Speaker 7: say that America needs to extend sincere. Thanks to you
Speaker 7: for what you do day in and day out. Dragon
Speaker 7: us crush the finished link, because I'll tell you, there
Speaker 7: was a lot of times that I didn't think we
Speaker 7: were going to make it. So thank you for that, and.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you listen. I thank everybody in those audience
Speaker 1: for doing their part, because that's the only way it
Speaker 1: was going to happen. I'm one voice, one vote. I
Speaker 1: tried to get the information out there that everybody needed
Speaker 1: and thankfully a lot of people understood what was at
Speaker 1: stake in this election.
Speaker 7: Well keep punching, Sean, because we need you. But currently
Speaker 7: we're caught up in this euphoria with the victory that
Speaker 7: we had, and it's you know, we need to do this.
Speaker 7: But I think what America has to realize is the
Speaker 7: left never never lets up, and they're they're working in
Speaker 7: the background here. And my question to you is, since
Speaker 7: you have your finger on the political pulse, and do
Speaker 7: you really think and believe that the Republicans have the
Speaker 7: political will and the courage to not only get their
Speaker 7: cabinet candidates approved, but to carry out Trump's agenda. I
Speaker 7: agree with the last caller, we want to see the plan,
Speaker 7: but the plan. I'm no old football and rest coach,
Speaker 7: and the plan doesn't do any good unless you execute it.
Speaker 1: And oh, I mean you just heard viveg Ramaswami. Both
Speaker 1: he and Ela Musk are staying outside of the government.
Speaker 1: Do I think they will do a good job. Yes,
Speaker 1: In the back of my mind, do I worry that
Speaker 1: Republicans might react the way they that people in the
Speaker 1: Reagan era reacted to the Grace Commission. Yeah, I worry
Speaker 1: about that a little bit. I think that the first
Speaker 1: order of business is going to be getting Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: appointments through. There's been all this talk that he may
Speaker 1: he may go to recess appointments. You know, well, if
Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, whine and this is outrageous, and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is bypassing the Senate and advising consent, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Well, it's not the first time there have
Speaker 1: been recess appointments. Obama made over thirty of them. Bush
Speaker 1: forty three made over one hundred and seventy of them.
Speaker 1: Bush forty one used a recess appointment for a Secretary
Speaker 1: of State. So that's a lot of a recess appointing
Speaker 1: that went on. And anyway, president since George Washington have
Speaker 1: made recess appointments. Washington appointed South Carolina Judge John Rutledge
Speaker 1: as the Chief Justice of the of the US during
Speaker 1: a congressional recess in seventeen ninety five. If you want
Speaker 1: me to go into some of the detail I went
Speaker 1: into before. But President Reagan made two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: recess appointments. That's an average at thirty a year. President
Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush seventy seven recess appointments. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of recess appointments. So we'll see what happens. I
Speaker 1: would rather the Republicans in the Senate have a backbone
Speaker 1: and understand the mandate that Donald Trump was given here.
Speaker 1: But Donald Trump also, you know, he helped a lot
Speaker 1: of these candidates get in as well. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: Dave McCormick would have made it had Donald Trump not
Speaker 1: been on the top of the ticket, for example, in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: And I think he's going to do a great job.
Speaker 1: I think it certainly helped Bernie Marino, and I think
Speaker 1: it helped a lot of other people congressional seats. It
Speaker 1: was an eighty percent it was viewed. I think the
Speaker 1: betting markets even had about an eighty percent chance that
Speaker 1: Democrats would take back the House. That didn't happen. So
Speaker 1: this is a historic opportunity. The president won the popular
Speaker 1: vote that had not happened since two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: and I think that this is a mandate election. I
Speaker 1: think it's the death of legacy media, as we've been discussing.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's going to be up to
Speaker 1: us too. You know, we can't just vote and go
Speaker 1: away and not pay attention. I mean, we're going to
Speaker 1: have to put pressure on elected officials, congressmen and senators
Speaker 1: to do their job too, and their job is the
Speaker 1: Trump agenda right now. Anyway, I do appreciate to call
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you. Eight hundred and nine four one,
Speaker 1: Sew you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: Let's get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: four one, Shawn our number. If you'd like to join us,
Speaker 1: let us hid to Melissa, North Carolina, Melissa, how are
Speaker 1: you glad you called?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great show on How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: I have a question. So my question is if these
Speaker 3: women are like boycotting sex for four years whatever, man,
Speaker 3: why are they stop pulling the abortion pill?
Speaker 1: That's a really good question. I don't really know. Maybe
Speaker 1: they don't pay attention to news either. Because the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court ruled on the widespread availability of the abortion pill,
Speaker 1: and they basically codified that into a law. So that
Speaker 1: is almost a first trimester pill. It says up to
Speaker 1: ten weeks, but so basically the first trimester. Women will
Speaker 1: have access and availability to the abortion pill, which now
Speaker 1: represents about sixty five percent of abortions in America.
Speaker 3: Right, But if they're not having six I don't think
Speaker 3: they need it, honestly, So maybe you need to do
Speaker 3: a public service announcement to a runne people how pregnancy happens.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're not having sex and they're
Speaker 1: abstaining from sex. I'm totally pro choice in the and
Speaker 1: what people doing their private life. If that's the way
Speaker 1: they want to live their life, that's fine with me.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure it's going to go over well
Speaker 1: with boyfriends and husbands.
Speaker 3: My mommy, some people don't have the good chance. Gott
Speaker 3: gave a billy good.
Speaker 1: But if this is how they want to live their life.
Speaker 1: But you'd make a great point. If you're not having sex,
Speaker 1: you don't really need to stockpile abortion pills.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're right. Anyway, appreciate the call.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Melissa. If you make my day, Let's say hi.
Speaker 1: I will stay on the topic with Jeff and Oklahoma. Jeff,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Great, sir, how are you good?
Speaker 1: What's going on, oh Man.
Speaker 4: I first off, as a homeschool dad in Oklahoma, I
Speaker 4: want to say that on election night you called a
Speaker 4: lot of nerves that we had when you said you
Speaker 4: had never been more confident in anything in your life.
Speaker 4: I believe when you were talking about Georgia and North Carolina.
Speaker 4: So thank you for calling those nerves at the time.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's so funny. More people have commented
Speaker 1: to me about the comments I made about nine thirty
Speaker 1: nine on Fox when I was on with the panel,
Speaker 1: and I spoke twice, and once I went over the
Speaker 1: numbers and why I thought it was mathematically impossible going
Speaker 1: into election day that I said that Kamala had a
Speaker 1: math problem. Joe Biden went into Pennsylvania on election day
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty with a one point one million vote lead.
Speaker 1: He won by less than one hundred thousand way less
Speaker 1: than one hundred thousand. Kamala only went in with a
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand vote lead. That was a deficit of
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand votes. I spent the day talking to
Speaker 1: people in heavily democratic areas in Pennsylvania that would be Philly,
Speaker 1: that would be Alleganty County, for example, and I knew
Speaker 1: that the turnout was nowhere near what would have been
Speaker 1: historic and necessary for her to catch up. So I
Speaker 1: have great contacts in Georgia. Georgia was baked, it was done.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was going to win Georgia, he was going
Speaker 1: to win North Carolina. I had good sources there. I
Speaker 1: knew that he would win Arizona by that point, and
Speaker 1: likely Nevada, which he ended up winning. I also knew
Speaker 1: that she had the same numbers problem and deficit problem
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin based on early voting, because she was forty
Speaker 1: forty five percent down from where Joe Biden was in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And it's amazing when I said that, and
Speaker 1: I said, look, I may be get getting over my skis.
Speaker 1: If I turn out to be wrong, you can print
Speaker 1: Hannity was wrong, t shirts. But here's how the night's
Speaker 1: going to unfold. And I turned out being right because
Speaker 1: I've worked the phones all day and that's that's what
Speaker 1: I do for a living, and I'm supposed to be right.
Speaker 1: If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have said it.
Speaker 1: And even close friends of mine said they knew it
Speaker 1: was over the minute I said what I said, or
Speaker 1: else I would not have said it, and they're right.
Speaker 1: I'm glad it gave you some piece that night, though,
Speaker 1: so I hope you know that it came from a
Speaker 1: place of a lot of research and a lot of calling.
Speaker 1: I was doing making a lot of calls that day
Speaker 1: and night. Anyway, my friend, thank you eight hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be part
Speaker 1: of the program,
