Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Are you open to pursuing impeachment of President Trump or
Speaker 2: are you ruling that out?
Speaker 3: Well, we've made clear we haven't ruled anything in and
Speaker 3: we haven't ruled anything out.
Speaker 4: I am not a socialist. I guess you can say
Speaker 4: that I'm more of a social democrat, so to speak.
Speaker 5: You think that's okay? I mean, do you really want
Speaker 5: to have this conversation? Are you circumcised? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Is circumcision different than castration?
Speaker 6: And so is the countdown.
Speaker 2: T-minus 70 days till Election Day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're coming to your city. Gonna play our guitars
Speaker 7: and sing you a country song.
Speaker 5: Sean Hannity.
Speaker 6: The new Sean Hannity Show. More behind-the-scenes information on breaking
Speaker 6: news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. Coming up next,
Speaker 6: our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Speaker 7: All right, news roundup, information overload hour. Our toll-free number
Speaker 7: and your calls are coming up, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want
Speaker 7: to be a part of the program. So I started
Speaker 7: reading about this case, and there's a group in Massachusetts,
Speaker 7: and they put it up on their website, how this
Speaker 7: past May, this group filed a Title IX complaint on
Speaker 7: behalf of Lewis and Kerry Rivera. And now they're the
Speaker 7: parents of a nine year old little girl in third
Speaker 7: grade at what's called Rochester Memorial School. Their complaint alleges
Speaker 7: this girl was using the bathroom when a male student
Speaker 7: who identified as transgender entered the bathroom, saw there was
Speaker 7: someone in her stall and opened the stall door while
Speaker 7: she was on the toilet.
Speaker 5: The girl was shocked.
Speaker 7: Obviously traumatized, a kid nine years old, a violation, obviously,
Speaker 7: of her privacy. This poor girl now, according to this article,
Speaker 7: and we'll hear from the parents in a second here, refuses,
Speaker 7: you know, and is scared to death to actually use
Speaker 7: the bathroom at school, even though the Rivera's, the parents
Speaker 7: had previously complained about this male student using the girl's bathroom.
Speaker 7: The school refused to take any steps to stop the
Speaker 7: incident from happening. and told the parents that just following
Speaker 7: state law. Then the school conducted, quote, their investigation into
Speaker 7: the complaint, and they issued a final decision. And anyway,
Speaker 7: you know, because they have to protect student privacy, they
Speaker 7: think that they have a right to make the public
Speaker 7: aware of what were their key findings. I know what
Speaker 7: they are, but I'm going to let them tell the
Speaker 7: story themselves. Anyway, joining us now is Sam Whiting. He's
Speaker 7: the legal counsel for the Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center and
Speaker 7: Louis Rivera, a Rochester, Massachusetts father fighting for his nine-year-old daughter,
Speaker 7: a story we just told you about. Louis, thank you
Speaker 7: for being with us. Sorry your nine-year-old little girl had
Speaker 7: to go through that. It is not a topic when
Speaker 7: I started my radio career I ever thought I'd be
Speaker 7: dealing with, but now we're dealing with this crap every day.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Sean. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 7: All right, tell us the whole story and then tell
Speaker 7: us what the decision was.
Speaker 8: All right. So, uh, May 1st, uh, my daughter, uh,
Speaker 8: comes home from school in the afternoon, like she normally does.
Speaker 8: And she gets off the bus and she comes in and,
Speaker 8: and you can tell, uh, her eyes, she was distraught.
Speaker 8: Her eyes were red. She's been crying all day long.
Speaker 8: And I asked her what happened. And she told me
Speaker 8: she was, uh, using the bathroom at the school. And this, uh,
Speaker 8: boy that identifies as a girl came into the restroom, um,
Speaker 8: He proceeded to look under the stone.
Speaker 7: And this is somebody you knew about, complained about prior
Speaker 7: to this incident, correct?
Speaker 8: Yes. We called prior, a year before that, when the
Speaker 8: teachers tried to usher this boy with the girls on
Speaker 8: a field trip into a restroom when my daughter came
Speaker 8: running out. She told us when she got home, we
Speaker 8: addressed it with the school. The principal said that no
Speaker 8: boys are allowed in the girls' bathrooms, and she would investigate.
Speaker 8: A couple of months later, my daughter came home and said,
Speaker 8: this individual is running in and out of the girl's
Speaker 8: bathroom once again. So he proceeded to look under the
Speaker 8: stall and was asking who was in there, and he
Speaker 8: started peering through the cracks on her. She yelled at
Speaker 8: him to get away, and when she tried to get
Speaker 8: up to pull her pants up, he decided it was
Speaker 8: okay to push the door open and expose her half-naked body, basically.
Speaker 8: She was traumatized and went back to her classroom. She
Speaker 8: was crying. And she was like that all day long
Speaker 8: until she got home and she told me this. Wow.
Speaker 7: And moving forward, she's now afraid to go into the
Speaker 7: bathroom at her school.
Speaker 8: At her school and in public. She's been traumatized with this.
Speaker 8: My wife has to escort her or I have to
Speaker 8: find a family restroom when we're in public. She doesn't
Speaker 8: feel secure or safe in the restrooms right now. And
Speaker 8: she's going through some major therapy and stuff behind it
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 7: All right, so in this document, we're going to talk
Speaker 7: to Sam in a minute because it's his legal group
Speaker 7: that is representing you. The school did investigate. The school
Speaker 7: came to a conclusion. They don't want you to make
Speaker 7: this public, what you're about to tell us?
Speaker 8: Yes. Yeah, they just dismissed it like nothing really happened.
Speaker 8: They said that, yes, he did go in there, but
Speaker 8: there was no Title IX violation.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 7: Sam, let's talk about this from your point of view,
Speaker 7: your involvement in this, and what remedy might Lewis and
Speaker 7: his wife have to protect their daughter moving forward. I mean,
Speaker 7: I don't think any nine-year-old girl should have to go
Speaker 7: through this.
Speaker 9: No, absolutely not. And unfortunately, schools across Massachusetts have policies
Speaker 9: like this where they say that to comply with state law,
Speaker 9: they have to allow boys into the girls' bathrooms. if
Speaker 9: they identify as girls.
Speaker 7: Okay, but by the way, even if it was a
Speaker 7: girl that was looking underneath and opening the door of
Speaker 7: a stall to a bathroom, invading somebody's privacy, going to
Speaker 7: the bathroom, even that should never be allowed. I mean,
Speaker 7: can we just start with the basics here? Then you
Speaker 7: add the fact that he's a biological man, and I
Speaker 7: don't think the word peeping Tom, but you know, obviously
Speaker 7: has some severe problems if he's going to, you know,
Speaker 7: treat somebody like this. And the school just absolutely condones it.
Speaker 7: They have no alarm bells are ringing in their head, nothing.
Speaker 9: Right. I mean, if this was another girl or if
Speaker 9: it was a boy who didn't identify this way, you know,
Speaker 9: I think the situation would have been dealt with much differently.
Speaker 9: And Listen, I mean, this child, it's a nine-year-old boy
Speaker 9: who's also in third grade, and we don't know what
Speaker 9: was going through his mind. And he's really not the
Speaker 9: focus of our complaint here. The focus is this school
Speaker 9: has put in place these policies that allow boys into
Speaker 9: the girls' bathroom, no questions asked. And that clearly has
Speaker 9: disastrous consequences for the privacy and dignity of girls. And
Speaker 9: so what we did is we kind of took two steps.
Speaker 9: One was to file a Title IX complaint with the
Speaker 9: school to have them investigate this matter. And that's what
Speaker 9: they did. And of course, they ended up finding, you know,
Speaker 9: there was no Title IX violation. Everything was fine, which
Speaker 9: is ridiculous. But, you know, we kind of anticipated that
Speaker 9: was the direction that they would go. But we also
Speaker 9: filed a complaint with the Federal Department of Education and
Speaker 9: their Office of Civil Rights. And so what we're pushing
Speaker 9: for now is for the federal administration to pay attention
Speaker 9: to what's happening in Massachusetts and hopefully add this to
Speaker 9: their list of investigations and enforcement actions as they seek
Speaker 9: to get schools across the country to uphold Title IX.
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of parents, Lewis, they don't have
Speaker 7: the money... I mean, we pay all this money in taxes.
Speaker 7: We send our kids to government schools. It's another example
Speaker 7: of all those people that believe in this Green New Deal,
Speaker 7: cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, and everything's going
Speaker 7: to be free, and the government's going to provide daycare
Speaker 7: and even babysitting services on date night, and free buses,
Speaker 7: and guaranteed... you know, government jobs and guaranteed government salaries
Speaker 7: and guaranteed government healthy food and Medicare for all or
Speaker 7: guaranteed healthcare, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed. Nobody's ever given
Speaker 7: a price tag to all of that. And meanwhile, the
Speaker 7: government fails. We spend more per capita on education than
Speaker 7: any country in the industrialized world with the worst result.
Speaker 7: Our government schools have failed spectacularly. Now we're at a
Speaker 7: point where we're not even protecting the kids. And I'm
Speaker 7: sure after you pay your state taxes in Massachusetts, which
Speaker 7: are pretty high, and you pay your federal taxes and
Speaker 7: you pay your FICA taxes and maybe put a little
Speaker 7: bit of money away for retirement and probably I don't know.
Speaker 5: What you do for a living.
Speaker 7: I'm assuming that sending your daughter to either a Christian
Speaker 7: school or a Catholic school or a public school where
Speaker 7: this wouldn't occur. I'm guessing it's not an option for you, which,
Speaker 7: by the way, is the case for many parents, if
Speaker 7: not most parents in the country.
Speaker 5: Am I wrong?
Speaker 8: No, not at all. It's a financial burden to be
Speaker 8: able to pull your children out and stick them in
Speaker 8: private school or even homeschool, right? If you have a
Speaker 8: parent that's working... 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to make
Speaker 8: ends meet with all the taxes that we pay here
Speaker 8: in the community. We expect our school systems in this
Speaker 8: country to be A1 in the world. And they missed
Speaker 8: the target. They missed their point. And we need to
Speaker 8: get a federal investigation down into these little rural areas
Speaker 8: and down into these small towns and have them comply
Speaker 8: and start changing the policies per federal law. And they're hiding.
Speaker 8: They're grasping for straws. But we need to pull those
Speaker 8: straws for them and show them that parents, we're not
Speaker 8: going to take it. We're not going to take it.
Speaker 8: We can't have this happening to our children.
Speaker 7: Is it a fair statement to say you and your
Speaker 7: wife don't have another option, that this is it, the
Speaker 7: government school, that you just can't afford a private school
Speaker 7: and you don't have the ability because you're out working
Speaker 7: every day, you don't have the ability to homeschool your daughter?
Speaker 5: Is that a fair statement?
Speaker 8: It's a fair statement. It's a fair statement. And for
Speaker 8: many families in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this state has
Speaker 8: some of the highest taxes And it's very difficult for
Speaker 8: people to accommodate their children in that way. You know,
Speaker 8: we trust these people. We send them to school for
Speaker 8: six hours a day to take care of them like
Speaker 8: they were their own. And they neglect that. They're too
Speaker 8: busy trying to push these ideologies and stuff on the children.
Speaker 8: And it's not fair. It's not fair.
Speaker 7: Well, what about President Trump, who declared it's the official
Speaker 7: policy of the U.S. government that there are only two sexes,
Speaker 7: male and female? I'm asking Sam, your attorney, this. You know,
Speaker 7: what about the president banning federal funding, sponsorship, promotion of
Speaker 7: chemical or surgical mutilation of minors? Or, you know, ending
Speaker 7: DEI programs in the military and elsewhere? Or, you know,
Speaker 7: ending the, quote, un-American indoctrination of schoolchildren by terminating federal
Speaker 7: support for gender ideology and equity curricula?
Speaker 5: The president has done all of that.
Speaker 7: And the president ending unfair, demeaning practices forcing women to
Speaker 7: compete against biological men. I mean, does any of this
Speaker 7: come into play legally, considering the president has done that
Speaker 7: since he got back in office?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think those were all great steps in the
Speaker 9: right direction. I think the problem is when you get
Speaker 9: down to kind of the nitty-gritty details, we need enforcement
Speaker 9: action against these schools because a lot of these schools
Speaker 9: in these blue states like Massachusetts, They just ignore the
Speaker 9: executive orders. They ignore what the president is saying until
Speaker 9: they're forced by a court or by an executive agency
Speaker 9: through enforcement action to actually scrap these policies and to
Speaker 9: protect the privacy and dignity of their female students. So
Speaker 9: that's really what we're looking for here is for the
Speaker 9: Department of Education, the Department of Justice to come in.
Speaker 7: I don't mean to interrupt you only because of the
Speaker 7: constraints of time. I mean, are you getting any positive
Speaker 7: feedback that they're taking your case seriously and they're paying
Speaker 7: attention to this?
Speaker 9: We know that they have opened a case file for
Speaker 9: our case. We're working on getting attention on our case.
Speaker 9: That's why it's great to come on shows like this
Speaker 9: and have your listeners hear and petition for cases like
Speaker 9: this to be heard. We know that they have a
Speaker 9: lot on their plate right now because there's so many
Speaker 9: places across the country that are experiencing these same issues.
Speaker 9: But we're very hopeful that the department will take a
Speaker 9: close look and open an investigation into our case.
Speaker 5: All right, quick break. Right back.
Speaker 7: We'll continue more with Sam Whiting. He's legal counsel for Massachusetts,
Speaker 7: the Liberty Legal Center. Louis Rivera, a father, his nine-year-old daughter,
Speaker 7: I mean, unbelievable story about she's in the girl's bathroom
Speaker 7: and a biological man is opening the door and looking
Speaker 7: at her going to the bathroom and the school doesn't care.
Speaker 7: More on the other side, your calls, reaction to it,
Speaker 7: much more, 800-941-SHAWN.
Speaker 2: You know, here at the Sean Hannity Show, we want
Speaker 2: a thriving economy, border security, and protection of our children. Now,
Speaker 2: what else can we come up with to piss off
Speaker 2: the left? Keep it locked right here for all the
Speaker 2: latest news and information.
Speaker 7: All right, our final moments with Sam Whiting and Luis Rivera. Sadly,
Speaker 7: Luis's daughter, who's nine years old, goes to the bathroom.
Speaker 7: They had already complained about a biological male in women's bathrooms.
Speaker 7: And it's really remarkable that nobody seems to care. And
Speaker 7: the school is not doing a thing to protect them.
Speaker 7: Although Donald Trump did put in place very specific statues,
Speaker 7: as we've been talking about.
Speaker 5: You know, against such a thing.
Speaker 7: So I think that they might get some help from
Speaker 7: the DOJ, and I'm hoping I'll explain that in a minute. Well,
Speaker 7: let me ask you this. Harmeet Dhillon and Leo Terrell
Speaker 7: are friends of mine. Have you contacted either one of them?
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, heading up the Civil Rights Division
Speaker 7: of the DOJ.
Speaker 5: Have you talked to them?
Speaker 9: We have not had any direct contact with them, but
Speaker 9: we have had contact with individuals inside the Department of Education.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what I want to do for both
Speaker 7: of you. Linda, I want you to help me pull
Speaker 7: this off if you don't mind. Sam and Louis stay
Speaker 7: on the line, and I am going to contact Leo
Speaker 7: 2.0 Terrell, a very dear friend. Our meet Dylan is
Speaker 7: serious about her job, and we will make them both
Speaker 7: keenly aware of who you are, what this case is about,
Speaker 7: and see if we can't spur some type of involvement
Speaker 7: to protect You know, in your case, Louis, your little
Speaker 7: nine-year-old daughter, this is completely unacceptable.
Speaker 5: It's just wrong on so many different levels.
Speaker 7: And again, it's like a topic I never thought when
Speaker 7: I started in radio that I'd ever be talking about.
Speaker 5: It's insane.
Speaker 7: So if you guys stay on the line, we'll get
Speaker 7: that information to you, and we'll make the introduction, okay?
Speaker 5: I hope that helps.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Sean. Appreciate your time.
Speaker 5: You bet. My pleasure.
Speaker 7: It's not something I should ever have to do, to
Speaker 7: be honest, but I mean..
Speaker 5: I mean, it's sad.
Speaker 6: Breaking news all afternoon. When you get off work, be
Speaker 6: sure to check in first for everything you missed during
Speaker 6: the day. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure if you saw this last night, if
Speaker 7: you were watching my TV show, Linda, but Brianna Lyman
Speaker 7: asking people about the the Lindsay Clancy trial. Did you
Speaker 7: did you happen to see this? Now, this is the
Speaker 7: mother that admitted to strangling one after another, three little children.
Speaker 7: This is this is the case. Now, I get it
Speaker 7: that there are mitigating circumstances. I believe postpartum depression, for example,
Speaker 7: is real. Postpartum depression psychosis, I believe, is also real. Apparently,
Speaker 7: one doctor was prescribing one, you know, medication. And these
Speaker 7: medications can often be very, very strong. I get that
Speaker 7: part that there were 13 of them that they found
Speaker 7: in her body. She has her husband leave the house.
Speaker 7: And she's obviously to me, that sounds premeditated. That's my take.
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying that this woman is not mentally
Speaker 7: ill and that she wasn't seeking help as people have
Speaker 7: testified during the trial. However, I don't think this woman
Speaker 7: should ever walk the streets again, ever under any circumstances.
Speaker 7: But so many people have come out and they never
Speaker 7: talk about the kids. They only talk about, well, the
Speaker 7: poor mother, the poor mother that strangled three kids alive.
Speaker 7: you know, one after another. So it really is troubling
Speaker 7: to me.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: Clancy is on trial right now for allegedly killing her
Speaker 4: three children. It's kind of taken social media by storm.
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on this case? Well, I see
Speaker 4: a lot of theories online.
Speaker 10: I think it touches upon things that are really important
Speaker 10: to women, postpartum depression, mental health, the healthcare system in general.
Speaker 10: So I think those are all things that people have
Speaker 10: passionate views on.
Speaker 4: So it's easy to see why they care a lot
Speaker 4: about the case.
Speaker 11: I think that simultaneously has to be a recognition of
Speaker 11: the fact that the medical system did fail her and
Speaker 11: failed to recognize the symptoms that would lead to suction action. However,
Speaker 11: there still has to be accountability for taking those actions.
Speaker 5: I don't think she has to be in jail, locked away.
Speaker 5: I feel like she needs.
Speaker 4: To be somewhere where she can get the.
Speaker 10: Proper care, like mental institution, something along those lines.
Speaker 4: This case is going to be a hallmark case in
Speaker 4: the way that we end up treating mental health and
Speaker 4: we end up diagnosing mental health.
Speaker 11: I think overall, there's a major mental health crisis in
Speaker 11: this country that we have refused to acknowledge since the 80s.
Speaker 4: And we refuse to put..
Speaker 5: Any money towards it. I don't know.
Speaker 11: And there's too many inconsistencies that came out in the
Speaker 11: trial where I believe that she didn't do it.
Speaker 7: Linda, as I listen to these responses and this has
Speaker 7: gone viral, this whole case. And we're getting near closing arguments.
Speaker 7: And that's then it's going to be in the hands
Speaker 7: of the jury. I don't think they're going to get
Speaker 7: what the prosecution is asking for.
Speaker 5: We'll see.
Speaker 7: However, I find that the children never getting mentioned hardly
Speaker 7: ever is very troubling to me.
Speaker 4: Well, I will give you two points to this story.
Speaker 4: The first one is postpartum depression is very real and
Speaker 4: it's very serious and it's very sad. It's also at
Speaker 4: its most acute six to eight weeks after you give birth.
Speaker 4: And then you figure out what's wrong and you try
Speaker 4: to work on it and yada, yada, yada. She strangled
Speaker 4: a child that was five. Her youngest child is eight months.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to push back a little bit on
Speaker 4: the postpartum claim. I'm not a doctor. I'm not claiming
Speaker 4: to be one, but I am saying that there is a,
Speaker 4: there seems to be this idea that it's okay to
Speaker 4: say we have mental health problems. And as a result,
Speaker 4: we are unable to stand trial, unable to serve time,
Speaker 4: cannot be held accountable for our actions. Well, Cora and
Speaker 4: Dawson and Callan, her three children, don't get a say.
Speaker 4: Her husband has already remarried. He's moved on because it's
Speaker 4: three years later and he's getting on with his life.
Speaker 4: And now this woman is going to sit there and say,
Speaker 4: like the last one was like, I don't even think
Speaker 4: she did it. She's already admitted to doing it. And
Speaker 4: a psychologist that took the stand today said, he goes,
Speaker 4: you know, it's weird because when people have these psychotic breakdowns,
Speaker 4: there were typically things that they said prior to the
Speaker 4: breakdown that they say again during the breakdown. She said
Speaker 4: everything for the first time when this happened. I just
Speaker 4: think some people have evil in them. To strangle a child,
Speaker 4: to watch a child's last breath leave their body and
Speaker 4: take their lives is evil. There is no other way
Speaker 4: around it. I don't care how sick she is. She
Speaker 4: should get the electric chair, in my opinion.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure.
Speaker 7: She should never see the light of day because if
Speaker 7: you're that sick that you go to that length and
Speaker 7: you have a psychotic break, there's no assurance down the
Speaker 7: line that that's not going to happen again. I think
Speaker 7: there's always evil involved in any murder, any killing.
Speaker 5: 100% right. But nobody wants to talk about that part.
Speaker 7: I'm sure people, when they say get the mental health,
Speaker 7: then you're going to have some shrink, some plays, some wear.
Speaker 5: Oh, she's stable now. She's been stable the last five years.
Speaker 3: Let her out.
Speaker 7: You know, just like the guy Hinckley, John Hinckley, who
Speaker 7: tried to assassinate Donald Ronald Reagan, you know, was let out.
Speaker 5: He's out, you know, now and free.
Speaker 7: And I don't think that person should ever have gotten
Speaker 7: out of jail ever under any circumstances.
Speaker 4: Every single person from your TV show.
Speaker 5: Mental health.
Speaker 4: We need awareness on mental health. I'm like, how about
Speaker 4: we put a value on human life? We have states now,
Speaker 4: New Jersey, we have Massachusetts, talking about having babies to
Speaker 4: term and then killing them. Everybody knows you're pregnant. Why
Speaker 4: not just give it up for adoption? Why do you
Speaker 4: need to kill it? There's something wrong with people. I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 5: There is.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm telling you, the whole debate has just
Speaker 7: ignored those three little children, and that's the problem.
Speaker 5: That's what bothers me. George in Florida, my free state. George,
Speaker 5: how are you? Glad you called. Good, Mr.
Speaker 6: Hannity.
Speaker 12: How are you today?
Speaker 5: I'm good, sir. What's going on? It's sad about Dolly Parton.
Speaker 5: I always liked Dolly Parton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we, we just saw that. That's kind of a
Speaker 3: shocker there, but we, we appreciate everything you do. We,
Speaker 3: we know you're on the front lines every day and,
Speaker 3: and you're in the crosshairs of the left and we
Speaker 3: appreciate everything you're, you're doing on a daily basis. But what's,
Speaker 3: what's on my mind is I was listening to some
Speaker 3: of your conversation yesterday about the WNBA and Um, I
Speaker 3: tried about three years ago, I think it was to,
Speaker 3: to actually watch a game. I sat down and, uh,
Speaker 3: had my drink sitting on the sofa and they dimmed
Speaker 3: the lights and played the national anthem. And, uh, both
Speaker 3: teams got up and walked off and I waited to
Speaker 3: the end of the anthem, turn the TV off and,
Speaker 3: you know, have not watched a minute of it since.
Speaker 3: And I guess the thing that's confusing to me is, um,
Speaker 3: you know, they, They have what could be a generational
Speaker 3: player coming out. She was the all-time scoring leader in
Speaker 3: women's basketball, collegiate women's basketball. And rather than promoting her,
Speaker 3: it seems like at every corner they're trying to tear
Speaker 3: her down.
Speaker 7: The saddest part is they're doing it to their own detriment.
Speaker 7: I mean, you're talking about Kaitlyn Clark. And they still
Speaker 7: are so aggressive. And, you know, basically, you know, she's
Speaker 7: getting all these, you know, fouls. I mean, really, really
Speaker 7: aggressive behavior by other members of the WNBA when they
Speaker 7: should be happy because more people are coming to see
Speaker 7: the WNBA because of her and her talent. And, you know,
Speaker 7: you have people just looking to attack her and tear
Speaker 7: her down.
Speaker 5: She's been tough. She could have stood by Sophie.
Speaker 7: I wish she would have done that, but putting that aside,
Speaker 7: I mean, what they're missing is the big picture. Somebody's
Speaker 7: a star. Like, it's kind of an unwritten rule in football.
Speaker 7: You don't take out a star quarterback's leg.
Speaker 5: You just don't.
Speaker 7: And, you know, there's a certain, because understanding that stars
Speaker 7: bring people into arenas. And, okay, you know, you want
Speaker 7: to get aggressive, flagrant fouls, go for it, but It's
Speaker 7: going to, and you want to go, well, go for it.
Speaker 5: But in the end, it's going to turn people off.
Speaker 7: It's going to, at some point, they're going to all
Speaker 7: pay the price of lower attendance.
Speaker 5: Well, and you at.
Speaker 3: The nail on, you know, that's where I'm approaching it from.
Speaker 3: You at the nail on the head. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: in no way comparing her. to the, you know, eliteness
Speaker 3: of tiger woods. But you look at the tiger woods
Speaker 3: effect on golf when he came out, um, you know,
Speaker 3: a lot of, you know, it was very publicized, you know,
Speaker 3: he wasn't, he was, uh, not well received by a
Speaker 3: lot of the players because he was getting all the attention. But,
Speaker 3: you know, during the tiger effect, when he came in
Speaker 3: to the PGA, their total, um, purse purse payout, uh,
Speaker 3: on the.
Speaker 8: Year was 125 million.
Speaker 3: When he left, it was over $ 316 million.
Speaker 7: People go out to see stars. They just do. And
Speaker 7: star players, a rising tide lifts all boats. I mean,
Speaker 7: it's crazy. Look, I'm not going to watch any league that,
Speaker 7: you know, players are taking the stand against our anthem.
Speaker 7: If they don't want to come out for the anthem,
Speaker 7: they don't want to stand, they don't want to put
Speaker 7: their hand over their heart.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Just check me out. It's sort of like, you know,
Speaker 7: Colin Kaepernick taking a knee. I'm not interested. And at
Speaker 7: that point, it's such a turnoff to me that I
Speaker 7: just won't pay attention to it. I watch now only
Speaker 7: The Fever, and really I'm watching for Caitlin's talent and
Speaker 7: Sophie's talent and the fact that Sophie's been so brave, bold,
Speaker 7: and outspoken. I find pretty amazing. George, I got to roll.
Speaker 7: I got to get to other callers, but I'm glad
Speaker 7: you're out there, my friend. God bless you. Back to
Speaker 7: our phones. let's say hi to Stephen in Linda's home state,
Speaker 7: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5: What's up, Stephen?
Speaker 12: Thanks for taking my call, Sean. Appreciate everything you do
Speaker 12: every day, sir.
Speaker 5: Thank you, my friend. You make it possible. What's on
Speaker 5: your mind today?
Speaker 12: It is Cantor freedom. Him joining the WNBA is one
Speaker 12: of the best things I have seen in a very
Speaker 12: long time.
Speaker 5: It's hilarious to me. I think it's such a good
Speaker 5: play on his part. I love it.
Speaker 12: Yeah. All these morons who think that men can magically
Speaker 12: become women, and they do it in, like, women's rights.
Speaker 12: All the Democrat who think that, oh, yeah, it's women's rights.
Speaker 12: And it's finally coming back to bite them in the butt,
Speaker 12: and I'm loving it.
Speaker 7: I love that he was there with his T-shirt to
Speaker 7: fighting a woman the other night, and then he got
Speaker 7: thrown out. Because he was cheering for Sophie Cunningham. I mean,
Speaker 7: he shouldn't have gotten thrown out. One of the players
Speaker 7: on the other team was screaming at him and cussing
Speaker 7: him out.
Speaker 5: Why'd they throw him out? Unbelievable.
Speaker 7: But I'm with you. I totally love it. Steven, PA,
Speaker 7: appreciate it, my friend. God bless you. And big time,
Speaker 7: AJ Houston, Texas.
Speaker 5: What's going on, baby? How are you, big time? Big time,
Speaker 5: Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1: How you doing, man?
Speaker 5: Hey, happy... I'm good. I miss you. I haven't heard
Speaker 5: from you in a year. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Man, I've been working and jerking and.
Speaker 3: Perking and kirking.
Speaker 5: Come on! Every time I call, my phone would cut off.
Speaker 1: I don't understand when I dialed your number..
Speaker 11: It cut off.
Speaker 1: My girl, I say, dang, Katie, I've been trying to
Speaker 1: call y'all.
Speaker 5: And I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's probably the Democrats, Sean.
Speaker 12: That's what it is.
Speaker 1: They just don't want me to talk. That's all it is.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, I guess we only have about a
Speaker 7: minute and 20. It's all yours, though, my friend. Go
Speaker 7: for it.
Speaker 1: That crap with the WNBA.
Speaker 10: You know what?
Speaker 1: Them people done lost their minds. You know, that's a
Speaker 1: women's game.
Speaker 5: That's woman. That's a woman.
Speaker 1: And my boy, I'm glad he did do what he did.
Speaker 1: And that team, you right, they should have got them
Speaker 1: out of there. But then the Democrats, what are they
Speaker 1: going to run on? I'm calling it again, Sean.
Speaker 3: My second's left.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a landslide come November again. Coming
Speaker 1: to a theater with us because these idiots out here
Speaker 1: think taking the American people the wrong way. They think
Speaker 1: we're dumb.
Speaker 9: We know what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen to him again, Sean.
Speaker 5: Big time.
Speaker 7: Listen, I am not taking anything for granted. I am
Speaker 7: not confident in any election until the votes are in
Speaker 7: and I hear the words, Fox News can now declare
Speaker 7: Donald J.
Speaker 5: Trump has been reelected president.
Speaker 7: Fox News can now, has now, you know, our decision
Speaker 7: desk has decided that Republicans will hold the House and
Speaker 7: the Senate. I want to hear those words until I do.
Speaker 7: I am assuming we're down. We're behind. The polls are
Speaker 7: phony and we've got to go all in and understand
Speaker 7: how high the stakes are here.
Speaker 5: That's just the way I'm wired. Big, big time. I
Speaker 5: can't change. But quick last word of you, man.
Speaker 1: And you just hang in there and keep doing.
Speaker 8: The good work.
Speaker 5: All right, my friend. God bless you. We love you, AJ.
Speaker 5: Big time, AJ. Houston, Texas.
