WEBVTT - New Left Strategy - April 22nd, Hour 1 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:03.120 All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:05.280 you for being with us. Write down our toll free 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.520 telephone number if you'd like to be a part of 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:09.720 this six stravaganza. 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.520 It's take one hundred and ninety four to one. Sewn. 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.599 So, the President rightly has pulled the plug on Joe 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:22.160 Biden's student loan giveaway, and after a five year hiatus, 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.200 the US Department of Education says they will now begin 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:30.360 resuming collections of defaulted student loans on May the fifth. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.760 Of the more than forty two point seven million student 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.880 loan borrowers in the US they owe a collective one 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:43.280 point six trillion dollars. The Department says more than five 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.320 million have not made a payment in the past year. 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.880 The number is expected to grow as an additional four 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.680 million borrowers now are approaching default status. American taxpayers will 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.080 no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.080 student loan policies, according to Linda McMahon, the Secretary of Education. 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.280 They said they will begin to notify borrowers who are 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.240 in default via email over the next two weeks, urging 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.240 them to make a payment or loan or enroll in 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.280 a repayment plan, thank goodness, you know. And the Trump 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.679 administration has frozen an additional one billion dollars in NIH 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.280 grants to Harvard University, and you're gonna you got to 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.440 explain something to me. And Harvard now is suing the 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:32.840 Trump administration over unlawful multi billion dollar budget cuts, and 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.240 you ask yourself this question. We're talking about the elite 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.080 of the elite Ivy League institutions here. You don't have 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.040 a right to go to an Ivy League institution if 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.840 you want, if you want the privilege of going, you're 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.080 going to have to figure out how to pay for it. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.880 It is not the obligation of hard working men and women, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.880 people that work in the coal mines and the oil fields, 0:01:55.360 --> 0:02:01.040 and the nurses and the orderlies or assistance I'm not 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.200 sure what you call them today, but it's not the 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.480 job of construction workers. It's not the job of receptionists 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.400 to be paying for these, you know, Ivy school institutions 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.280 for these kids to get brainwashed and indoctrinated. And in 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.440 the case of Harvard, haved havevid got six hundred and 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.880 eighty six million dollars fiscal year twenty twenty four, That 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.960 is approximately sixty eight percent of total sponsored revenue, and 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.560 it went up by one percent in fillscool year twenty 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.880 twenty four. So we're spending more money than ever before. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.680 Now here's what most people don't know. HAVEVID has an endowment? 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.120 What is an endowment? That's a good question. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:41.920 An endowment. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.359 Let me tell you what an endowment is in real life. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.920 An endowment in his real life is when mommy and 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.480 Daddy graduate from Havid. Uh, the school comes knocking on 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.560 their door begging for donations so that when little Johnny 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.240 and little Susie become of age, that mommy and Daddy 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.200 that donated and maybe millions of dollars can make a 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.200 phone call and push to have a legacy admission. Meaning 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.120 they're not going to be the most qualified person to 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.600 get into Havid, But because mommy and Daddy donated so 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.840 much money to the school that they so love to 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.440 give their little kids a leg. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.760 Up, and then they want you to pay for it. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.240 On top of it, they have a whopping fifty three 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.799 plus billion dollar endowment. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.320 They don't need our money. Now. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.600 Most private and public universities and colleges have been granted 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.440 tax exempt status by the IRS because of quote their 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.680 educational mission. In Hovid's case, that would be their indoctrination mission, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.520 which the government has recognized for their importance in fostering 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:52.360 productivity and civic contributions of American citizens. Okay, they're not 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.040 helping American citizens with their DEI that they refuse to 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.520 abide by by the administration. Sorry, you're out of money. No, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.160 we're not paying anymore. Your free right is over. And 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.320 if you signed the dotted line and you took out 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.560 a loan and you promised to pay it back, you 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.120 you have a responsibility to pay that back. Now. I 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.800 did have one student loan and I paid my every penny. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.520 I paid for my own college. I didn't get a 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.359 dime of any grant, any scholarship from anybody, and my 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.920 years in college, I paid every penny of it. And 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.640 it's it's got to stop. And the same for Colombia. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.520 And this by the way, they've allowed institutionalized pro Hamas 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:41.360 supporting students to terrorize Jewish students quote Zionists that were 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.280 even told to Colombia to to stay home last year 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.320 and have they couldn't have in person learning, so they 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.440 had to learn remote. I mean it is so and 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.880 these are the same universities. They have all these strict rules, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.560 you know, against racism and sexism and homophobia and you know, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.839 transgenderism and you can't say this, and the thought police. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.080 So it's ridiculous that Harvard is suing the Trump administration. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.839 I would imagine in the end, they don't have a 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.720 right to our money and we can't afford it. Anyway, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.559 It's pretty incredible anyway. Eight hundred nine four one Shawn 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:20.839 is a number if you want to be a part 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.560 of the program. By the way, in a complaint file 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.240 with the Irs, Ashley Biden, this is Joe Biden's daughter, 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.040 has been accused of failing to report hundreds of thousands 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.400 of dollars in donations to her business. The charity has 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.240 five hundred thousand dollars in a discrepancy on their books, 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.360 according to the Washington Free Beacon, alleged by a watchdog group. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.440 During the height of her father's presidency, she launched a 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.080 walk in Trauma Recovery center in Philly equipped with infrared 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.880 saunas to help women overcome mental health challenges WOW, known 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.400 as the Women's Wellness Spa. This is not the role 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.039 of our government period. End of sentence. It's just not 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.640 We do have a new strategy that has emerged from 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:10.080 the radical left. Now you're seeing a transformation before your 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.400 very eyes. And we have new poll numbers out that 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.600 show that Chuck Schumer is in deep trouble and he 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.680 may be on his last legs as New York's leading 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:24.960 senator or senior senator, and AOC is rising in the 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:25.880 polls dramatically. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.400 He's at his lowest poll. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:32.600 Numbers in New York for twenty years since Siena College 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.480 has been polling the state of New York, the lowest 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.800 numbers ever, the lowest approval rating ever. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:38.400 So he's in trouble. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.880 And it's obvious now what has emerged in the Democratic Party, 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.080 and that is that the leading voices are Bernie who 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.760 seems to be trying to pass the torch to AOC. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.760 AOC's number skyrocketing in the same Siena poll that I 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:59.440 mentioned about Schumer, and now the leading voices are are 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:05.600 Bernie AOC, Jasmine Crockett and the squad in general. And 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:10.800 you see genuine fear that has emerged in terms of 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.600 Hakeem Jeffries. He will not defy that radical base because 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.280 he knows that his speakership or minority leader status is 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.400 in jeopardy, or the minority leader status of Chuck Schumer 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.760 is in jeopardy. Look at what happened when he went 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.240 along with the cr which his entire career, he said, 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.120 you should never shut down the government. So he was 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.240 kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.200 the New York Times wrote this story. We touched on 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:38.080 it briefly yesterday, and you know, they start out the story, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.560 what is dark woke? That's the headline, And Democrats are 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.880 trying out a new attitude, provocative, edgy, perilously towing the 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.240 line of not being too offensive, whatever that means. And 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.000 they start the story by talking about Kamala Harris during 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.880 the campaign and she was on the Call Her Daddy 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:01.080 podcast and Tim Walls, you know, was out there. You know, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.720 he goes shooting, doesn't know how to load his own gun. 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.640 But you know, I pay attention to details. And then 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.720 they point out the obvious, which is that moment is 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.720 long passed and Donald Trump is back in the White House. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:19.560 And they reference this dude heavy pop podcast programming, provocative insults, 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.920 so called masculine energy that helped him get there. Seems 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.560 like the dominant one. That is not why he got there, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.880 That is not at all why he got there. Democrats 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.920 lied repeatedly to us about Joe's cognitive state, about allowing 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.560 you know, ten to fourteen whatever the number is of 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.400 unvetted illegals into the country, rising crime, and every town, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:44.080 every city across the country, horrible educational system, healthcare system, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.559 a horrible economy. For four years, and they did pretty 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.840 much next to nothing except try and implement their radical 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.599 green New deal. Transgenderism, wokeism, et cetera, et cetera. So 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.040 they got the whole premise of it wrong. So they 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.000 go on to explain as liberals trying at their groove back. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:06.480 Party insiders say, Democratic politicians have now been encouraged to 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:11.120 embrace this new radicalism, this new form of combative rhetoric 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.959 aim at winning back voters who have responded to President 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.840 Trump's no hold barred version of politics and quote in 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.920 an attempt to step outside the bounds of political correctness 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.840 that Republicans have accused Democrats of establishing. It requires being crass, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:33.040 but discerning, rude, but still to the point, that's not 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.319 what we've been witnessing. We've been watching you know, sixty 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.480 reducts singing and. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.000 Chanting, what do we want? When do we want? Now? Bah? 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.120 Bah dah da ba da dad they I mean, it's ridiculous. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.800 And then the most outspoken people Jasmine Crockett, et cetera. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.480 And what they're claiming is online it has been given 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.400 a name. It's called dark Woke, and they're claiming that 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:06.200 Republicans essentially put Democrats in a respectability prison. They say 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.960 this is an extreme imbalance and strategy that allows Republicans 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.440 to say stuff that really grabs voters' attention, meaning they're 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.280 not beholden to this woke ideology that they imposed on themselves. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.960 I won't blame Republicans for their idiocy and they can't 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.120 say that. The only thing they can do with total 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.880 abandonment is support, you know, even violent rhetoric towards Elon Musk. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.400 All I want for my birthday is to take down Elon, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.080 take down Tesla. What does that mean? Take them down? 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.880 Because it sounds a little bit like a threat to me. Anyway, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.839 they claim this imbalanced sticks is in place and they're 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.880 stuck saying boring pablem Anyway, dark woke is now a 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.120 mean meme that lives online, but its roots have been 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.120 sold throughout the party for years. In the waiting days 0:10:55.160 --> 0:11:00.080 of the Biden administration, Dark Brandon often referred to the 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.360 version of the former president that can serve it as 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.200 most feared outside the party. The dirt bag left uh 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:10.440 the term for a cohort cohort of leftist provocateurs will 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:17.280 shoe civil politics and civility inspired headlines for their unrestrained derisive, 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.200 their derision of conservatives and liberals alike. All right, So 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.800 if that's what they want, and they want to go 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:29.920 after Marjorie Taylor Green, and if they want to take 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.520 you know, shots like I guess it was Jasmine Crockett's 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.800 that if someone on this committee then starts talking about 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:42.240 somebody's bleached blonde, bad, bad built, butch body, that would 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.040 not be engaging in personalities. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:44.520 Correct. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.640 So that is that is the definition of dark woke. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.720 What does it really mean? What does all this mean? 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.880 Is they don't have a They don't have a clue. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.160 They don't have the courage either to stand up and 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.520 take have an introspect moment and to have a course 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:10.640 correction that understands that this country voted for dramatic, drastic change. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:17.559 America wants their border secure. America wants criminals deported. America 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:22.160 wants the illegals deported. These are seventy thirty eighty twenty issues. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:27.440 America wants to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. They 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:32.000 call it a constitutional crisis. Americans want woke out of 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.840 their schools. Americans don't want to pay more per capita 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.040 for student than any other industrialized country and get the 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:44.200 worst results. Americans want energy dominance. They understand that that 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.520 will make us a very wealthy country. They want They 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.440 don't want to put the burden of thirty seven trillion 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.480 in growing in debt on their children and grandchildren. They 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.200 don't want to be ripped off and taken advantage of 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.959 with these unfair trade deals, a massive tariffs on us, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:06.120 especially by allied countries. And Americans also would like peace 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.280 around the world and not be involved in forever wars. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.439 This is not complicated. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.600 They'd also like a little bit of law in order 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.640 and safety and security in their towns and their cities. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:22.480 They don't like the radical left and that marginalized group 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.000 that supports Luigi Mangioni. They don't support threats against Elon 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:32.400 Musk's life. They don't support the assassination cult of some 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:37.080 on the left. They don't like bullets being fired into 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:42.760 Tesla dealerships. They don't like pro HAMAS protesters, considering that 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.640 HAMAS is a designated terrorist organization that killed the equivalent 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.000 of forty thousand Americans on October seventh to twenty twenty three. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.800 They don't want Tesla's put ablaze. They don't want Tesla 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.640 owners docked, they don't want charging stations firebombed, they don't 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.400 want domestic terrorism. And this is all pretty much that 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.440 the Democrats are either offering or their supporters are offering, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:12.280 and that they're being silent about. Americans want their country back. 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.560 That's what the election's about. And if they think this 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.440 you know, dark woke is the answer, and that AOC, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.400 the Squad, Bernie and Jasmine are the answers, then they're 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.520 going to be lost in the wilderness forever, which I'm 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.520 perfectly fine with right as we roll along eight hundred 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.960 and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.640 a part of the program, I know a lot of 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.160 people are watching the topsy turvy of the market, and 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.040 it was down yesterday what's it up now, Linda, have 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.240 you been able to I haven't seen the latest. The 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.880 reason for this, and I think what's gonna make this 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:55.600 change very quickly is if the President starts reaching deal 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:56.720 after deal after deal. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.240 What is it, Linda? You can say it on air now. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.520 It said it eight hundred and eighty six. Up is 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.200 the deal? Jones naw is deck is up three point thirty. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:08.240 One kind of a you know, up down, up down, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.320 Wall Street is notoriously skittish. It's why all throughout the years, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.000 I've always said it's never been my biggest barometer, but. 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:17.080 It is. 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.240 I see no reason why India and Australia and Japan 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:29.280 and Korea and Taiwan and Great Britain and European Union 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.400 countries can't make a deal. And I just think that's 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.080 gonna happen. And it's a matter of how quickly those 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.479 deals get done. I know that there have been conversations 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.520 with numerous of these countries, and I would expect that 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:51.800 probably we'll hear things sooner than later. Sean Hannity talks 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.720 to the people involved in the top stories of the 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.680 day every day. 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.080 Sean Hannity is. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.240 On all Right twenty five to the top of the hour, 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.320 eight hundred and ninety four one seawn our number. If 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.120 you want to be a part of the program. Look, 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.440 I'm just into health, wellness, nutrition, fitness more than I've 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.240 ever been. I'm not perfect, I'm getting better. I'm trying harder. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.000 It's paying off. I try to have a stable weight. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.720 I'm very careful now what I eat. And one of 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.520 the things I had to give up was cereal, which 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.480 I really love, which is frustrating. And if you just 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.400 walk up and down the cereal aisle and we're gonna 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.400 have this announcement. We'll also talk to Bonnie Harry about this. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.480 The food Babe. They are within two years going to 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.600 get rid of the dyes that they put in food, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.680 in especially in cereal, but in other foods as well. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.720 They have no nutritional value at all whatsoever. And some 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.360 of these these dyes are made from petroleum products. I mean, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.600 it's crazy. And Europe and Canada and all these other countries. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.040 You know, for example, you make fruit loops in America, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.240 and we'll get into this with Bonnie Harry, but you 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.640 get one version in the United States that has all 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.600 of these dyes petroleum based products et cetera. But they 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.000 make a very different version that they sell in Canada 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:15.280 and Europe, a much healthier version, just like McDonald's French 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.640 fries for example. You know, we have sixteen different ingredients 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.520 in America, they have like three in Europe. And you 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.320 got to ask yourself, well, what are they doing. Why 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:29.160 won't the Europeans import American produce and American meat. Well, 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:35.440 it's simple pesticides, and you know, these these growth hormones 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.919 that a lot of people use to grow their meat faster. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.600 And so there are specific reasons, and there are reasons 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:48.600 why other countries are healthier. We spend more per capita 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.320 for person on healthcare than any other country in the world. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.320 And it's sad. I mean, and I'm not being critical 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.280 of people. I've had my own issues involving weight over 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.040 the years, and you know, I go up twenty I 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.040 went up twenty five pounds on at one point, and 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.480 I just like, I got to lose it. That was 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.520 like three years ago, and I'm just like, Okay, I 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.000 got to get in better shape, change my diet. I 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:14.600 mostly pretty much full on protein with rare exceptions, and 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.720 I'm healthy for it. My most recent blood work was 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.720 better than it's ever been. In spite of what you 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.880 may think, well, you're eating eggs and meat all the time. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.000 I'm like, yep, and guess what. My blood work has 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.080 never been better. And the good news is is now 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.120 I can even add cereal back to my diet, which 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:32.680 I really miss. But if you go up and down 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.480 the cereal aisle, not only do you have the food 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.840 coloring based on petroleum based products, but look at the 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:39.600 sugar content. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.000 It's through the roof. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.240 Then they add that crap corn syrup other chemical additives. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.919 And thankfully I met Peter Harris and he and his 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.160 dad created Grainberry cereals to bring the healthiest, most natural 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.080 choice back to the cereal aisle and give you a 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.640 healthy choice. And frankly, I love the taste of it 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:01.480 and now I've been able to add it back into 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.200 my diet. Unlike most cereals that are high in sugar 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.760 and corn syrup and chemical additives, Grainberry's focusing on controlling 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:14.240 sugar levels being heart healthy. They use natural plant based fiber, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.240 has a ton of antioxidants, It is healthy, and it 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.040 tastes great. Anyway, there's seven different Grainberry cereals to try, 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.560 multi brand flakes, honey nut, Original toasted oats, apple cinnamon, 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.399 Linda's favorite Grainberry Raisin brand. Now, when you go to 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.760 your local grocery store, there's a lot of cereals in 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.840 the cereal as, so you got to look for it. 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.160 It's called grain Berry. If it's not in the cereal aisle, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:39.720 it may be in the health food aisle. It's in 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.520 most stores around the country. If your store for some 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.560 reason doesn't have it, talk to your local grocer and 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.440 ask them to get it. That's Grainberry cereal, the official 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.680 cereal of the Sean Hannity Show. It was announced today 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:58.080 at President Trump following the news of Pope Francis's death, 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.879 that he in the First Lady Malaania Trump, will be 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.879 attending the Pope's funeral at the Vatican in spite of 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:12.560 obvious disagreements. Traditionally, papal funerals take place four to six 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.520 days following their death, so Francis's funeral is expected to 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.480 take place before the end of the month, and we'll 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.960 find out when that happens if you're interested. And I'm 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:23.479 not going to spend a lot of time on this. 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.600 The official cause of death, by the way, apparently he 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.080 had suffered. He had all these respiratory issues, had been 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.160 on a ventilator even for a short period of time 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:35.960 according to reports. But the official cause of death was 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:40.439 a fatal stroke and cardiac arrest. And you know, it 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.760 is kind of fascinating how they pick up hope. Now, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:51.280 I would prefer to find the person that will very, 0:20:51.640 --> 0:21:00.840 very very systemically change what has been become institutionalized corruption 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:02.520 in the church. Now, the Church did me a lot 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:04.879 of good in my life. I went to Catholic schools 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.639 for twelve years of my life. In high school, I 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.080 went to a seminary, I studied Latin theology, went to 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.000 Mass every day. I would argue that it gave me 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:18.240 such a strong foundation that it has been extraordinarily good 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:20.840 and helpful of my life. And I say that now 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.320 being more non denominational, and I love the Mass, there's 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.280 certain things I love about it, but I don't like 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:31.840 the fact that the church had changed. And you know, 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.240 I think they made their biggest mistake. For the first 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.840 what eleven twelve hundred years, I forget the exact number 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.800 of the church, the priests were allowed to marry, and 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.920 they did, and then they came up with a rule 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:50.080 in large part because of issues involving property and finances. 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.880 You know, I guess pre nups weren't that as prevalent 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.240 back in the day. But anyway, where priests could no 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:00.919 longer marry, and in my mind, and I might be wrong, 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:06.520 that probably took the pool of potential candidates for the 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:10.040 priesthood down to a very low level. And therefore they 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.280 kind of would take any warm body, anybody that wanted 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.640 to be a priest. Okay, we'll take you, because they 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.040 were in desperate need. And there's always a priest shortage, 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.440 which is why a lot of parishes have priests from 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:25.399 other countries, et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, and unfortunately, you know, 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.879 then you have the scandal that was known at the 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:31.840 parish level. It was known, the bishops knew about it, 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:36.240 the dioceses knew about it, and the cardinals knew about it, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.760 and Rome knew about it. And nobody's ever really confronted 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.359 this issue of church and abuse that took place. And 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.880 I think they have done the church such a grave disservice, 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.760 and they, in my mind, the next pope should be 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.400 the one that finally deals with it head on once 0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.560 and for all. Now, do I think that's going to happen. 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.720 I don't now. The process of picking a pope is 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:03.560 pretty fascinating. 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:03.840 I don't know. 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.120 If you saw the movie Conclave. Linda did not see 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.480 the movie Conclave, you probably should watch it. It's interesting 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.520 as the christ passion. 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:12.720 Of the Christ. 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.080 I watch a couple of times a year and just 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:17.720 cry my eyeballs out. I also like the Chosen series. 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.600 I went to see. They have season five that has 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.800 come out in theaters. It won't be on pay TV 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:28.760 until June, and I've gone to see one in two 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.520 and I have not gone to see the third one. 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.159 If it's still around this weekend, I might try and 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.720 sneak away and go see it anyway. So there are 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.480 two hundred and fifty two cardinals worldwide, but of those, 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.320 only one hundred and thirty five are under the age 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.840 of eighty and only if you're under the age of 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:50.720 eighty are you eligible to vote in the upcoming papal conclave. Now, 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.679 these eligible cardinals represent a pretty diverse global presence, with 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:59.120 electors hanling from seventy one countries. There are sixteen cardinals 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:04.960
