Speaker 1: Well we have coming.
Speaker 2: To your city, saying you a conscious cell. Willow be desired, Alan,
Speaker 2: and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 3: I come alonge.
Speaker 1: These guys are crushing us. The Democratic brand is toxic
Speaker 1: right now. It's one thing to make noise, but you
Speaker 1: also have to make sense. It sounds all very good.
Speaker 1: But but Governor, you were the poster boy for a
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff. Do you agree that the Democratic
Speaker 1: brand is toxic? I do agree that the democratic the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party brand is really problematic.
Speaker 4: Well, this is a revolution and I think it might
Speaker 4: be the might be the biggest revolution government since the
Speaker 4: original revolution.
Speaker 1: Freedom is that your style?
Speaker 5: Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 2: Coming to your city, gets alas and saying you a
Speaker 2: conscious cell.
Speaker 5: The New Sean Hannity Show more I'm the Scenes, information
Speaker 5: on freaking news, and more boned inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 1: Thanks Scott Chad An hour two Sean Hannity Show Told Free.
Speaker 1: Our number is eight hundred and nine to FOURT one
Speaker 1: Seawn if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: So we watch every day President Trump moving at the
Speaker 1: speed of light. We've seen executive orders signed and executive
Speaker 1: actions taken, and we are still at a point where
Speaker 1: we live under the Biden Harris economy, which was inherited.
Speaker 1: But when the president came into office. If you don't know,
Speaker 1: the fiscal year in Washington begins October one. That means,
Speaker 1: as of right now, unless Republicans make changes, we will
Speaker 1: live under that budget till September the thirtieth. We don't
Speaker 1: want that to happen. Now when when Congress, if Congress
Speaker 1: is to do their job, and let's assume that they hope,
Speaker 1: I hope this is not the case, because if Democrats
Speaker 1: ever get control of the House, I can almost guarantee
Speaker 1: you that Donald Trump will be impeached fifteen, twenty, maybe
Speaker 1: thirty times. If they can do it. You can see
Speaker 1: what Trump derangement syndrome is, or Elon Musk derangement syndrome
Speaker 1: is every single day. But the most important part of
Speaker 1: this is to get the Trump agenda. That part of
Speaker 1: that needs to be done legislatively. That means the House
Speaker 1: and the Senate, we need to get it passed as
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Now, when you use a process called reconciliation,
Speaker 1: I won't go into the technical details of it, but
Speaker 1: there are very strident archaic rules, especially in the US
Speaker 1: Senate that don't necessarily apply to the House, and don't
Speaker 1: in many cases that basic fundamental rules have to be
Speaker 1: followed for it to It's one of the few areas
Speaker 1: where the Senate one of the few procedures available to
Speaker 1: them where they can pass a bill with a simple majority.
Speaker 1: But it has to do with the budget, has to
Speaker 1: do with financing, and often you get the guidance of
Speaker 1: somebody called the Senate Parliamentarian in terms of what you
Speaker 1: can and what you cannot do. Now, the budget chairman
Speaker 1: for the US Senate right now, the committee chairman is
Speaker 1: Senator Lindsay Graham, and Senator Lindsay Graham believes his Budget
Speaker 1: chair and there's precedence for this, does not need the
Speaker 1: permission of the Senate Parliamentarian to advance the Trump economic agenda.
Speaker 1: And he'll explain why is. He joins a senator, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the program. How are you.
Speaker 6: That's pretty darn good.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good for a non Washingtonian, non swampy person.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah.
Speaker 7: So let's build on what you just said.
Speaker 1: Well, first, let me say one thing before you get going.
Speaker 1: When you're right like you were with Justice Kavanaugh, what
Speaker 1: you you and you sold this to all of your
Speaker 1: report public and colleagues, and you figured this out and
Speaker 1: you got the wink and the nod from Senator Thoon,
Speaker 1: Majority Leader Thoon. Uh. I don't think people around the
Speaker 1: country know how profound this is, because it would be difficult,
Speaker 1: if not impossible, to accomplish what you're about to accomplish
Speaker 1: if you didn't figure this out.
Speaker 7: So props to you, well, thank you, and Senator Thoon
Speaker 7: has been a great leader and we work together.
Speaker 6: And so here's what's at stake.
Speaker 7: Normally speaking, nothing passes the Senate without sixty votes. Sometimes
Speaker 7: we like that because we stop, you know hr one
Speaker 7: that would you know, do a with a you know,
Speaker 7: idea at voting and it would be ballot harvesting.
Speaker 6: Sometimes we're like it, sometimes we don't.
Speaker 7: But there is a rare occasion, and you explained it
Speaker 7: well where the Senate can imbent into sixty vote rule.
Speaker 7: And here's what's required.
Speaker 6: You have to have the House.
Speaker 7: You have to have the Senate and the White House.
Speaker 7: That's happened four times for Republicans in the last one
Speaker 7: hundred years, so this doesn't happen much. If you have
Speaker 7: all three, you can do a budget process called reconciliation,
Speaker 7: where you can change the numbers on taxes and spending
Speaker 7: based on a majority vote. The question is before the Senate,
Speaker 7: can we make the tax cuts permanent by the Budget
Speaker 7: Chairman declaring current policy, which means we extend the tax
Speaker 7: cuts in perpetuity. They don't expire after ten years. I
Speaker 7: have determined that I have the authority to use the
Speaker 7: baseline of current policy regarding the twenty seventeen tax cuts
Speaker 7: that expire in December.
Speaker 6: What does it mean.
Speaker 7: It means that from here on out, the Senate Budget
Speaker 7: Chairman Republican, I'm sure can make every tax cut permanent
Speaker 7: and we don't have to let them expire after ten years.
Speaker 7: PLAYS will back me up. That's the best and the
Speaker 7: only way to make the Trump tax cuts permanent. I
Speaker 7: am going to make that decision this afternoon. I think
Speaker 7: I'm on sound bround. Democrats are going crazy. The budget
Speaker 7: nineteen centing four Budget Act allows you to spend using
Speaker 7: current policy, but it's always been unsure about cutting taxes.
Speaker 7: They want you to pay for tax cuts, but they
Speaker 7: don't care if you offset spending. I believe tax cuts
Speaker 7: ad revenue. They don't cost anything. I made the decision,
Speaker 7: and if I can get fifty plus one votes, it
Speaker 7: will be the new policy of the Senate. And I'm
Speaker 7: damn proud of it.
Speaker 1: I think it's a brilliant maneuver. Let's go through some
Speaker 1: of the historical precedent that led up to this, because
Speaker 1: you pointed out rightly so that Democrats have used this
Speaker 1: four times against Republicans, so they can scream bloody murder
Speaker 1: all they want. I think the most recent example, if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, refresh my memory, was one Obama was president.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it for Obamacare.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they basically used reconciliation for Obamacare, the Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 7: and they basically changed the rules to meet the desire
Speaker 7: the budget chairman to spend money.
Speaker 6: What I am doing.
Speaker 7: Is trying to use the same budget concept to extend
Speaker 7: tax cuts. Democrats want you to have to pay for
Speaker 7: tax cuts when they expire. They say they run up
Speaker 7: the death.
Speaker 1: Set by using By the way, that's a croc because
Speaker 1: when Reagan cut taxes, and at the time it was
Speaker 1: the largest tax cut in history from seventy to twenty
Speaker 1: eight percent, and revenues over eight years doubled from five
Speaker 1: hundred billion over a trillion, except Congress spent a dollar
Speaker 1: twenty five for every new dollar brought in, so they're lying.
Speaker 6: I hope people listen to your shows. That's right.
Speaker 7: CBO says they add to the deaths that I disagree.
Speaker 7: I'm the Budget Chairman, not CBO. The statue was written
Speaker 7: referring to the Budget Committee, and I'm the chairman. This
Speaker 7: is not an unelected bureaucrat decision to make. I appreciate
Speaker 7: people at CBO. This is my decision to make his
Speaker 7: budget chairman, and I'm going to determine today if people
Speaker 7: will back me up, that current policy will apply to
Speaker 7: tax cuts, not just spending, and that means they will
Speaker 7: become permanent, which will help the economy. This budget resolution
Speaker 7: also will allow one hundred and seventy five billion dollars
Speaker 7: to be spent to get more detention beds, finish the wall,
Speaker 7: and hire more ice agents. It will it will allow
Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty billion dollars of additional spending to
Speaker 7: help the military to time a great threat without one
Speaker 7: democratic vote being required.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go over everything that you think you're
Speaker 1: going to accomplish. Can you add to this no tax
Speaker 1: on tips, no tax on social security okay, no tax
Speaker 1: on overtime, as well as making the tax cuts permanent.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's go down a checklists. What does this do?
Speaker 7: The House bill does not make the tax cuts permanent.
Speaker 7: They expire from six to eight years, depending who you
Speaker 7: talk to. I understand Mike Johnson did a great job
Speaker 7: trying to get to bill through. President Trump wants them
Speaker 7: to be permanent. If I win the day on current policy,
Speaker 7: they become permanent. They're no longer scored as if they expire.
Speaker 7: So that's one. I increase the amount you can cut
Speaker 7: taxes by by tree and a half dollars, so that
Speaker 7: means we can not only make the twenty seventeen tax
Speaker 7: cuts permanent, we can also cut taxes tree and a
Speaker 7: half dollars more tax on tips over time. Social Security
Speaker 7: fits in that. The Senate resolution allows more tax cutting,
Speaker 7: It makes the tax cuts permanent, It gives money one
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy five billion to finish the border, that's
Speaker 7: all they need for four years, more money for defense,
Speaker 7: and it sets in motion cutting up to two tree
Speaker 7: dollars even more. Now, some House members great people, but
Speaker 7: in the budget resolution, because of the rules that you described,
Speaker 7: if I pick a number as to spending cuts and
Speaker 7: we're one dollars short, it loses the privilege and it's
Speaker 7: subject to sixty votes. So what we did in twenty
Speaker 7: seventeen is to say, we told all committees find at
Speaker 7: least one billion dollars and cuts.
Speaker 6: We're going to cut.
Speaker 7: Tree in It's not for being, but if we don't
Speaker 7: get the numbers right, we lose the privilege.
Speaker 6: This is exactly what we did in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 7: President Trump would not sign a bill that did not
Speaker 7: cut tree ins of dollars. I won't vote for a
Speaker 7: bill that doesn't cut tree ins of dollars. But you
Speaker 7: can't get started unless you pass what I'm doing today.
Speaker 7: So I expect tonight that we'll pass the budget Resolution
Speaker 7: where I determined that the tax cuts will not expire,
Speaker 7: they'll be permanent, and once that's passed, we get on
Speaker 7: to actually cutting spending and cutting taxes in the reconciliation bill.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it is complicated. It's the way Washington
Speaker 1: is designed. You're not even using a loophole, you're using
Speaker 1: a strategy that has been used by Democrats for a
Speaker 1: long time. And do you anticipate any problems either with
Speaker 1: House Republicans or with any Senate Republicans in terms of
Speaker 1: going along with what the American people clearly voted for
Speaker 1: in November.
Speaker 7: So we met with President Trump yesterday, the entire Budget Committee,
Speaker 7: and Leader Thoon.
Speaker 6: He likes what we're doing.
Speaker 7: What we're doing is we're setting in motion a process
Speaker 7: that will allow the task cuss I said to become permanent,
Speaker 7: not expire after six, eight or ten years.
Speaker 6: That's a big deal for the economy.
Speaker 7: We're setting motion cutting spending. Will cut as much spending
Speaker 7: as we can until we run out of votes. We
Speaker 7: need fifty votes in the Senate, two hunder eighteen votes.
Speaker 7: There'll be a process to cut as much as you can.
Speaker 7: Ron Johnson will be in charge of that. If the
Speaker 7: Senate doesn't pass this resolution, then President Trump's economic agenda
Speaker 7: funding the border, helping the military, cutting sad.
Speaker 1: It dies on the vine.
Speaker 7: It's over, it dies, and we will lose. We've had
Speaker 7: the House to send it in the White House four
Speaker 7: times in one hundred years. This does not happen much.
Speaker 7: This is why I've been so aggressive using this moment.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you're doing it. I mean, this is key. Now,
Speaker 1: let me move on to some other topics, because energy
Speaker 1: dominance is very important. The President also signed I can't
Speaker 1: even keep up or count how many executive actions and
Speaker 1: orders that he signed. Would it not be wise for
Speaker 1: the House and Senate to come up with a schedule
Speaker 1: to codify all of these executive actions and orders into law?
Speaker 1: And at any point are you dealing with energy in
Speaker 1: this process?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 7: Reconciliation actually deals with energy. Rains Act basically deregulates.
Speaker 6: The energy economy.
Speaker 7: Under reconciliation, you can't make policy. They tried to do dhaka.
Speaker 7: They tried to increase the minimum wage in the parliamentarian
Speaker 7: said no, but we do have a provision that will
Speaker 7: help deregulate the country, but it is not full blown.
Speaker 7: So take the executive orders, codify them in the House
Speaker 7: and see if we can get them through the Senate
Speaker 7: with sixty votes. Some we may get through because they're
Speaker 7: so popular. But I've looked at all the executive orders
Speaker 7: shown and I've tried to find as much as I
Speaker 7: could in that group to put in reconciliation just needing
Speaker 7: a majority vote. So I want everybody out there to
Speaker 7: know I've been looking at every way I can to
Speaker 7: codify our President Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1: You know, I know that there are people that sometimes
Speaker 1: have been critical over maybe some of your foreign policy positions,
Speaker 1: although you are fully supporting the President's plan for a
Speaker 1: negotiated settlement in Ukraine and in the Middle East in
Speaker 1: the war. But I will tell you, when you dig
Speaker 1: your teeth into something and you're dead on right, this
Speaker 1: will literally be the escape patch to save the Trump
Speaker 1: economic agenda, which we need to save the country. So
Speaker 1: I don't do anything, is it.
Speaker 7: I think I helped a lot with kevinough Uh to
Speaker 7: any coming bear, but I think personally it is probably
Speaker 7: the most important thing I've done yet as budget chairman.
Speaker 7: You know, God, I don't know how this works mysterious ways,
Speaker 7: but I'm in the right spot at the right time.
Speaker 7: Talk to President Trump last night. He's fully on board.
Speaker 1: I am going to let me ask this question. Do
Speaker 1: you expect any pushback either in the House or Senate.
Speaker 1: They've got to recognize that this is an opportunity that
Speaker 1: does not come along but four times in one hundred years.
Speaker 7: As you pointed out, Well, I'm hoping that people like
Speaker 7: you can help us skin the votes we need.
Speaker 6: I think we're in.
Speaker 7: Pretty good shape. Leader Thoon has been working hard. The
Speaker 7: President's been on the phone. But tonight we vote tonight.
Speaker 7: If we passed, we pass.
Speaker 1: If you did a quick whipping of the votes right now,
Speaker 1: do you think you have the votes to pass this?
Speaker 7: I think I've got the votes to start the process
Speaker 7: with the motion to proceed. Final passage would be over
Speaker 7: the weekend. I'm going to call you. I'll be on
Speaker 7: your show tonight.
Speaker 1: Well, if we need to start giving out phone numbers
Speaker 1: for the House and Senate and people to call their
Speaker 1: congressmen in this case the Senate to get it passed
Speaker 1: in the Senate first, just let us know and people
Speaker 1: will call because this is too important.
Speaker 7: This is you know, we're not going to get one
Speaker 7: Democratic vote to cut spending. We're noteing Democratic votes to
Speaker 7: make President.
Speaker 1: Trump's well maybe Fetterman, have you contacted him?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well you won't get sixty So we're not going
Speaker 7: to get sixty votes to secure the border, and you're
Speaker 7: not going to get sixty v's to get more money
Speaker 7: to the military without increasing social spending. This is a
Speaker 7: once in a generation opportunity and one move to fully
Speaker 7: fund a border for four years, never having to ask
Speaker 7: for another dollar to increase military spending, make the task
Speaker 7: cuts permanent, and cut three ins of dollars of wasteful
Speaker 7: spending without one democratic vote. It all begins at night.
Speaker 1: All right, well have you on tonight? We got to
Speaker 1: stay on top of this. This is the moment. Only
Speaker 1: four times in one hundred you know, one hundred years
Speaker 1: have we had an opportunity like this. Senator Graham, thank
Speaker 1: you very important. We'll probably be giving on phone numbers
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the program. Eight hundred and ninety four one
Speaker 1: show is a number when I'm beginning to feel that
Speaker 1: the number in Washington is going to be given out tomorrow.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
Speaker 8: Two two two two four three one two one.
Speaker 1: How do you have that memorized? I barely remember one.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred ninety four one, Sewan.
Speaker 8: When people spend your number, your money recklessly, you memorize
Speaker 8: a lot.
Speaker 1: All right, well we come back. We're goen to hit
Speaker 1: the phones. By the way, the full set podcast that
Speaker 1: was on Kyle, It's now available on all Hannity platforms,
Speaker 1: including the Tesla Contest Word of the Day Reciprocal I
Speaker 1: twenty five till the top of the hour eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Shawn is our number. If you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Maybe thinking
Speaker 1: this spring or summer about building a pool. You may
Speaker 1: want to hold off because well you'll get more fun,
Speaker 1: more fitness, more relaxation west than welaxation for much less
Speaker 1: with a Michael Phelps swim spa from our friends at
Speaker 1: master Spas. In fact, right now you can save up
Speaker 1: to two thousand dollars during their global sales event. This month,
Speaker 1: only Linda has won in her backyard the beauty of
Speaker 1: her master Spa. She uses it even in the middle
Speaker 1: of winter. He refuses to post a video of her
Speaker 1: racing out there with her towel and the freezing cold,
Speaker 1: but jumping in the warmth of her swimspa. But you
Speaker 1: love it all year round.
Speaker 8: I do love it, and I can assure you there's
Speaker 8: not a lot of jumping. I am a lady. I
Speaker 8: get into that swimspo. I treat it with care because
Speaker 8: it's incredible. But I have to tell you I fell
Speaker 8: down the slip and I got really hurt. And I've
Speaker 8: been using the exercise and walking against.
Speaker 1: Fell down the steps in your house.
Speaker 8: I fell down this ironically, I was carrying towels out
Speaker 8: to the swimspa and I missed the step in my
Speaker 8: house because I'm clumsy and silly, but I really hurt myself,
Speaker 8: and so I've been going and seeking treatment. And the
Speaker 8: one thing that the doctor said to me was it'd
Speaker 8: be so great if you could get in a pool
Speaker 8: and like walk against the current. And I'm like, oh
Speaker 8: my god, I can totally do that. I can do
Speaker 8: that today.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 8: So I've been doing it every day, and I tell
Speaker 8: you what, it makes a difference.

Speaker 1: our busyphones.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Let us say hi to James in North Carolina. James,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 9: Thank you. I have a very simple question, what is
Speaker 9: gonna What is going to prevent the next president, if
Speaker 9: it's a Democrat from coming in as you just using
Speaker 9: executive orders again to reverse everything that Trump has done.
Speaker 9: You know that was overturned by you know, the executive
Speaker 9: order seems to be the way to govern now and
Speaker 9: that's not the way it was intended to work.
Speaker 1: Well, everything's got to be codified into law. I've had
Speaker 1: the conversation with Mike Johnson, I had the conversation with
Speaker 1: John Thune. I will be interviewing a bunch of senators
Speaker 1: next week because we're going to be right in the
Speaker 1: midst of what I think is the most important part
Speaker 1: of the Trump agenda, and that is getting our economic
Speaker 1: house in order. We still live under the Biden Harris economy.
Speaker 1: And step one was yesterday getting rid of you know this,
Speaker 1: this the unfair trade practices of friends and foes, and
Speaker 1: demanding free and fair trade or there'll be recip reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 1: I think that was a good head start. Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: who told you you know, he's we just had on
Speaker 1: the program. Lindsay Graham has found a way where we
Speaker 1: don't have to go through the parliamentarian in the US Senate,
Speaker 1: and the odds of most of the Trump agenda economically
Speaker 1: that will include borders and energy is going to be passed.
Speaker 1: And now it takes a certain amount of time for
Speaker 1: the policies to catch up with the reality and hit
Speaker 1: the markets. Like you know, just the threat of tariffs
Speaker 1: has resulted in over four trillion dollars in commitments for
Speaker 1: monies to be spent on factories and manufacturing here in
Speaker 1: the US. Are we going to feel it tomorrow, No,
Speaker 1: We're going to feel it next week.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: Are we going to feel it six months in, a
Speaker 1: year from now, yeah? Are we really going to feel
Speaker 1: it two years from now? Yeah, four years from now?
Speaker 1: Big time. So, you know, these things take time. And
Speaker 1: you know what President Trump did yesterday is undo what
Speaker 1: has been decades of America being abused and taken advantage
Speaker 1: of and being basically a sucker nation by allowing them,
Speaker 1: you know, all these countries to put tariffs on us.
Speaker 1: So all of this is going to take time. It's
Speaker 1: all going to take time. And you know, I've been
Speaker 1: urging people to be a little more patient than maybe
Speaker 1: they normally want to be. I know we're impatient by nature.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I agree with what Trump is doing. I'm just concerned
Speaker 9: that our government is broken and you know, whatever he
Speaker 9: does just gets overturned by an executive order at the
Speaker 9: next time, and it's just a waste of time and
Speaker 9: money and we're not going anywhere. That was my concern.
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of it becomes policy immediately, and if
Speaker 1: you don't want this scenario you're laying out to happen,
Speaker 1: you got to codify it into law. Appreciate the call, James.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Debbie Louisiana next on the Sean Hannity Show, Hi.
Speaker 3: Hi Son. I've been a fan for years, and thank
Speaker 3: you so much for all the good that you do,
Speaker 3: especially for the preborn and the veterans of our country.
Speaker 1: Thank you, well, thank you, You're very nice.
Speaker 3: It's the reason I'm calling is just to share something
Speaker 3: that's heartbreaking for me. My husband's family. There are five
Speaker 3: siblings all together. We were going to take a flight
Speaker 3: to Switzerland and then take a cruise through France, Germany
Speaker 3: and in the Netherlands. And I don't understand this, Sean,
Speaker 3: but all except for my husband and myself and one
Speaker 3: sister are they are rabbit excuse me, Trump haters, And
Speaker 3: these are smart educated people. In fact, one of them
Speaker 3: finished at the top of a Harvard law class and
Speaker 3: clerked for Alan Dershowitz. So these are not stupid people,
Speaker 3: but they say so many hateful things about Trump. It
Speaker 3: was on a text chain. I got very upset, and
Speaker 3: I'm not proud of myself with gettings upset because I
Speaker 3: love to meet you and everyone dearly, but my husband
Speaker 3: and I decided not to go on the trip. We've
Speaker 3: had enough, and I told them in the text chain,
Speaker 3: I said, I am very proud to have voted for
Speaker 3: the forty fifth and forty seventh of the United States,
Speaker 3: along with eighty million other American voters, and I am
Speaker 3: done with having him trashed. I'm proud of every single
Speaker 3: thing he has done, and that's what I wanted to
Speaker 3: share it.
Speaker 1: If people are going to attack your core values. Now,
Speaker 1: I have lost friendships. I've lost the friendships of a
Speaker 1: number of people as a result of my politics over
Speaker 1: the years, and I just view it as part of
Speaker 1: the business that I'm in and they're not really your
Speaker 1: friends anyway. Now I have friends that differ with me,
Speaker 1: on issues. Although I will say most of my friends
Speaker 1: supports President Trump, I'm not gonna lie. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a stack deck. I have, you know, extended family members.
Speaker 1: I emphasize the word extended that I know voted for
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and you know, I can rib them about it,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to not love them or like
Speaker 1: them or harass them because of their political views. If
Speaker 1: it comes up they're debating the wrong person because I immerse
Speaker 1: myself in this every day and they're going to lose.
Speaker 1: So but I don't make my decisions about people based
Speaker 1: on that. Most people, yeah, you know, they're not very
Speaker 1: well informed, you know what a rush. Always call them
Speaker 1: low information voters out there. But if they're if they're
Speaker 1: being personal about it, then from my perspective, I think
Speaker 1: you're right to not go on vacation with them. If
Speaker 1: they're going to be attacking you and your personal views,
Speaker 1: I think you have every right to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'd rather associate with people that will respect my views.
Speaker 1: You don't have to You don't have to take abuse
Speaker 1: from anybody. Always stand up for yourself, don't take crap
Speaker 1: from anybody. That's my advice in life all right, but
Speaker 1: you're too sweet. I'm more of a street fighter, so
Speaker 1: I am. I can take it. You sound too nice,
Speaker 1: And whatever you said on the text chain, they deserved it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it was much nicer than your characterizing
Speaker 1: it now.
Speaker 3: Thank you, you're so kind. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, though, but let not your heart
Speaker 1: be trouble. Take a good vacation with your husband. Make
Speaker 1: it a romantic week getaway or something. I wouldn't change
Speaker 1: plans totally for those people. You don't have to hang out. Look,
Speaker 1: just because people are your family doesn't mean you have
Speaker 1: to hang out with them. Just because people are in
Speaker 1: your life does not mean you have to give your
Speaker 1: time and energy to them you choose to associate with
Speaker 1: in life and life frankly is too short to hang
Speaker 1: out with people that are bitter, angry, hostile, that take
Speaker 1: cheap shots, that are insulting. Who needs it anyway? Appreciated, Debbie,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Eight hundred and nine to four one. Shawn
Speaker 1: is her number, Frank Commonwealth, Pennsylvania. Next Sean Hennity Show, Hi, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sean, how are you? I just wanted to call and
Speaker 4: reinforce the idea of terroris because I'm going to tell
Speaker 4: you a little story. You probably don't know too much
Speaker 4: about Pittsburgh, but I.
Speaker 1: Know a lot about Pittsburgh. Why would you say.
Speaker 4: That, I don't know, you just don't. I never heard
Speaker 4: you mentioned Pittsburgh at all.
Speaker 1: Oh I mentioned Pittsburgh a whole bunch over the years.
Speaker 1: My friend Selina Zito is probably the best reporter in
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Issues just at a steel plant there.
Speaker 1: She's had a place that does fracking. Today, she's been
Speaker 1: going all around the state and seeing how industry is
Speaker 1: so excited about Trump's policies because they know a lot
Speaker 1: of investment is coming into the state that's going to
Speaker 1: create high paying career jobs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true, Pittsburgh, we produced more steel than the
Speaker 4: rest of the country combined at World War Two, and
Speaker 4: there were steel mills all up and down the rivers
Speaker 4: down to Youngstown, Ohio. And then China started to subsidize
Speaker 4: their steel and they dumped steel in the United States,
Speaker 4: and pretty soon we couldn't afford it anymore, you know,
Speaker 4: we couldn't compete with them.
Speaker 1: This is what's happened all these industries I.
Speaker 4: Know, and you know, and I can remember all the
Speaker 4: steel meals closing one by one, and then it went
Speaker 4: Japan started dumping Toyotas and Nissans, and Detroit couldn't compete,
Speaker 4: and then Philadelphia the shipyards couldn't compete, and everybody was
Speaker 4: taking advantage of us. It was ridiculous. My family was
Speaker 4: steel workers. Everybody was steel workers in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Just watch what happens these countries. One by one, they're
Speaker 1: going to make the decision that they're going to drop
Speaker 1: their tariffs, and they're going to want to do business
Speaker 1: in the US. And slowly but surely, this will all
Speaker 1: settle itself out. And when it does, all the naysayers
Speaker 1: out there are going to have a lot of egg
Speaker 1: on their face. My level of confidence is pretty near
Speaker 1: one hundred percent that this is all going to work
Speaker 1: out fine because these countries have no other option. They
Speaker 1: have no other choice. If Germany is putting a ten
Speaker 1: percent tariff on cars, American cars being sold in their
Speaker 1: country in a twenty percent battax, and this selling eight
Speaker 1: cars in America if every one car we sell there
Speaker 1: because it's caused prohibitive, let me tell you something that's
Speaker 1: gonna change. It's got to change, and it will change,
Speaker 1: So stay tuned anyway, my friend, appreciate the call. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. David Arizona, Dave High,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?
Speaker 10: Hey there, Sean Hollo from sunny Arizona.
Speaker 1: What's going on in beautiful Arizona? How are you?
Speaker 10: Oh? It's beautiful out here right now. It's supposed to
Speaker 10: start getting warm next week, but I'm sucking it up.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 10: Anyways, second time caller, longtime listener, longtime watcher, and I just.
Speaker 1: Can't thank you much.
Speaker 10: I appreciate what you have done, you know, before and
Speaker 10: after Trump came down that elevator. You've just been such
Speaker 10: a great voice for the conservative moment, the movement, and
Speaker 10: I just can't thank you enough.
Speaker 1: Listen, it's a pleasure to be here. I'm grateful to
Speaker 1: all of you for giving me this microphone on that camera.
Speaker 1: Every night, I get to do what I love. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
Speaker 10: Thank you well. We love listening to you, Sean. So
Speaker 10: I have a quick kind of a two part question.
Speaker 10: Is the first part is I'm gonna use some rush
Speaker 10: Limba vocabulary. Is this judge that's you know, prolonging deportation.
Speaker 10: How come Trump just can't basically or why won't he
Speaker 10: just tell this judge to go pound sand and I'm
Speaker 10: gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1: And well, the president still is doing deportations. There was
Speaker 1: something that happened earlier this week. If you look at
Speaker 1: Supreme Court precedents and then of the Attorney General Pam Bondi,
Speaker 1: and if you look at the Alien Enemies Act, this
Speaker 1: judge had no authority to do what he did then.
Speaker 1: As then if you look very specifically at you know,
Speaker 1: Rule sixty five of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
Speaker 1: there's no bond associated with any of these injunctions, which
Speaker 1: renders them meaningless because the bond is mandatory. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't done legally in the first place. So the president
Speaker 1: is well within his rights to continue deportations, although I
Speaker 1: think the Republican idea of putting in place measures that
Speaker 1: these low level judges can't put an injunction on a
Speaker 1: duly elected president. His stymy his agenda has got to
Speaker 1: come to an end, so right now they are doing
Speaker 1: it anyway, My friend, appreciate the call. Listen while we
Speaker 1: have a minute. The last caller from Pittsburgh for many,
Speaker 1: many years, our friend Rose ten and she's filled in
Speaker 1: on this program many times. She hosted a morning show
Speaker 1: with Jim Quinn and Jim Quinn and Rose. They have
Speaker 1: one of the highest rated shows ever in Pittsburgh morning
Speaker 1: radio at the time and just our phenomenal broadcasters. And
Speaker 1: I just found out earlier today that Jim Quinn had
Speaker 1: passed away. And I mean he was on the air
Speaker 1: man he started in the sixties for Crying out Loud.
Speaker 1: He was eighty two years old. And anyway, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for Jim Quinn, so you know, so many different
Speaker 1: people wouldn't even be in radio today. Helped a lot
Speaker 1: of people out all throughout his career and the years
Speaker 1: that he spent with the morning show with our good
Speaker 1: friend Rose ten and I think was some of the
Speaker 1: best work he ever did. They were always number one
Speaker 1: in mornings in Pittsburgh. I was honored to be friends
Speaker 1: with both of them, and Rose obviously, I know he's
Speaker 1: pretty devastated by this, but a very gift talented, incredible broadcaster,
Speaker 1: and he will be missed. I know the people of
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh knew him well, and we send our love and
Speaker 1: prayers to him and his family in this time of need.
Speaker 1: We pray for him, we pray for his family. I
Speaker 1: do believe that all of us end up in Paradise
Speaker 1: in the end, and I'm sure he was there. He
Speaker 1: was a talented, gifted broadcaster and he will be missed.
