00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: All right, news, round up, information, overload our Sean Hannity Show.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: We need a little fun on a Friday, we just do.

Speaker 1: till Election Day. Best election coverage available on your radio dial.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I'm kind of torn on admitting

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: this publicly, but it's true. So I always tell my

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: audience the truth. But I happen to be really really

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: good friends with Stephen A. And my son is a

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: sports nut. Loves sports, I mean Saturday Sunday. I can't

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: get in touch with my son unless I'm writing him

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: about football, because that's all that's His entire life is

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: devoted to college in pro football and anyway. So one

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: day I was with my son and he didn't know

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: that we were close friends, and he said, yeah, I

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: could call him right now. He said, no way. Now.

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: I don't think my son's ever watched or listen to

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: my shows, but he watches every show that Stephen A

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: does and every show he's ever did. And the good

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: news about Stephen A is he's got a brand new

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: podcast he's starting, which I think is such a great

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: idea for him. He's so loved by everybody. And it's

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: called No Mercy with stephen A Smith. Now you spell

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: no okay and ow, which is pretty interesting to me.

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the lineup that distinguished guests. Snoop Dogg is

Speaker 1: on this? This podcast yours truly, and this is going

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: to destroy the podcast and destroy stephen A's credibility with

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: us on what are we friends with that guy Hannity for?

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: But I'm proud to call him my friend. He's one

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: of the most gifted, talented broadcasters I've ever met. He's

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: a dear, dear friend. I'm proud of all of his success,

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: happy for all of his success. Stephen A, are you

35
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: sure you don't want to bail on this? It might

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: just kill your entire podcast. I love how you try

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: to paint it like it's dangerous for you to be

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: talking to me. No, it's talking to you. Let's get

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: that right, right, is all mine? Nobody's gonna follow to you.

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna bother me, especially folk in the black community.

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: But I don't care. It's not fair and I don't

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: think God will pay attention to that nothing. Can I

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: just say something? Why would people be upset when you

44
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: have two people We agree on some things, we disagree

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: on other things. You've been on this show many times.

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: You've been on TV with me um and disagree with

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: you and trying to and disagree. You still won't listen.

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: You still won't listen, but I won't listen. But I'll

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: hear you. I'll hear you out, but you're not going

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: to change my mind. There's a difference. I definitely want

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: to hear well. First. Number one, your success on ESPN

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: is unprecedented. I mean the show is a phenomenal show.

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: You're a phenomenal broadcaster. I'm always interested in what you

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: have to say. I love your fights with like Mad

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Dog Russo and some other people. It's just a lot

56
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: of fun to watch. And I love sports, as you know. Yeah,

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: absolutely you don't know sports, but not not like you do.

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: Though you don't know it, but but you do love

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: to watch it. There's no question to your listeners. Let

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: me take that, and I have takes your mind on

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: a couple of times. But we won't get into that today.

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, though, I really appreciate

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: the kind words. Thank you so much, man, and I

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: have been very blessed and fortunate to really succeed at ESPN.

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: I've had my ups, I've had my downs, but if

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: theirness in credit to you. You've always been supportive of me,

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: even when you've disagreed with me from time to time,

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: and so I know I will send you notes occasionally

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: because I know that there are people, for whatever reason,

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, the talk police out there that can't stand

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: in a different opinion. I have never one time stephen

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: A supported a boycott or a firing of somebody because

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: of what they said on air, and I never will

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: because that, you know, people in life, we're shooting it

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: by the hip. There's not one word that I've said

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: in this interview that I thought about beforehand. It's just

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: a conversation with two friends. We're on the air. Sometimes

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: you may slip up and say something didn't come quite

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: come out the way you wanted it to come out,

80
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and everybody's there, you know, fire him, get rid of this.

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: What if the person said something then thought about it

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: later and they regret it and they apologize you and

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I talked about that, and I've agreed with you for

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: the most part. I just understand where it comes from

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: in this day and age. So what happens is, especially

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: in the world of sports, we'll use that as an

87
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: example for the content to do it for the purposes

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: of this conversation. When you have advertisers and sponsors who

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: bolt and ultimately threatened too effect dramatically affect your bottom line,

90
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: then if you're a business, sometimes that leaves you with

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: no choice. So when it comes to something like that,

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: I understand it. My problem is especially in you and

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: I have this in common, especially when it comes to

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: people in this business, in our business, the willingness to

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: pounce on somebody and be unforgiving for whatever they it

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: is that they said that you may disagree with and

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: what have you. And do you think their careers should

98
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, we're in a business. We

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: understand you're speaking live, you're speaking off the cuff and extemporaneously.

100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Stuff comes with it, and sometimes you may say something

101
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: that you regret, and so to me, America is supposed

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: to be the lamb of second chances in that regard,

103
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and that's where you and I are aligned and not thinking,

104
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to people in this business. They

105
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: have no excuse for being so unforgiving about both folks

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: speaking or mistakenly speaking or uttering a word or a

107
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: sentence or whatever the case may be. You know, I

108
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: love sports. One thing I don't like about sports is

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: when politics gets into sports, Like I don't want to

110
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: rehash the history of Colin Kaepernick and all that. I

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's good for sports. And I'll tell you why. Great. Look,

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things is when you go to

113
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: a football game, you go to a basketball game, you

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: go to a baseball game, whatever the event happens to be.

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: And what happens you have people of all socioeconomic backgrounds,

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: all rays, and they're they're usually with a shared passion

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: a home team, the sport that they all love. How

118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: many times have you been in the stands, steven A

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: and you find yourself high fiving a stranger or buying

120
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: a stranger a beer, or sharing your popcorn with people.

121
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the atmosphere when you when you're at

122
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: a sports stadium. The last thing we need to interject is, uh,

123
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: do you like Donald Trump or not like Donald Trump?

124
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Do you want to stand for the national anthem and

125
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: not stand for the national anthem? It bothers me when

126
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: politics intersects with sports. Well, first of all, a couple

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: of things. Number One, you bother a lot of people,

128
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: So get over it. They're gonna bother you with some things.

129
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, you and I and in

130
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: your defense, you and the great one Mark Levin, y'all

131
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: have both disagreed with me on this. Let's take the

132
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: Kaefinick situation into consideration. Kaepernick took a position. His position

133
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: was to kneel before tip off time during the national anthem.

134
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: It did not interfere with the game. It did not

135
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: violate his rights as an American citizen. It did not

136
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: impede anybody's ability to enjoy the sixty minutes of football

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: it came to watch. It did not violate any NFL

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: by laws. So at the end of the day, you're

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: seeing something you don't like for a few seconds from

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: an American citizen that had every right to do what

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: he did, even if you disagree with it. That did

142
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: not interfere with the game. Now, if he was taking

143
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the knee on the football field, what he was supposed

144
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: to be taking a snap and drop it back to pass.

145
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: We got a different problem. If he's taking the knee

146
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: and it's interrupting the play and what people came to watch,

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: that's a different animal. But for him to do something

148
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: ruins the exit together. Let's take me out of the

150
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: equation here. Sure, look a look at what it did

151
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: to the sport. It hurt the sport of football. It

152
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: divides all those people with all those diverse backgrounds in

153
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: that crowd. It divided the It's the greatest opportunity to

154
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: unite people, and instead people are united. You got one

155
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: group of fans over here clapping, one group of fans

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: over here booing. Now instead of the high fiving, the

157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: buying the beer and sharing the popcorn. You know now

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: you've you've taken a moment where people can put aside

159
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: differences and find a common passion. And you're you're ruining

160
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: it with politics. It's not the time and place for it. Well,

161
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute. I believe in freedom.

162
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: He's free to do it. The NFL is free to

163
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: make their rules, right, But I think it's a bad idea. Well,

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: we're wait a minute, but do people tell us that,

165
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Sean baby, When the ratings dropped and the audience and

166
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: the audiences dip for NFL games, fine, then you saw

167
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: people modifying, you're thinking. But when they saw that, ultimately

168
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: they could lock arms with one another and what have you.

169
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: What happens is people return to the games. Listen. They

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: really only returned towards the end of last year, and

171
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: this year has been their best ratings year in like

172
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: ten years. So the drop was significant. And my argument

173
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: back to is Colin Kaepernick. I believe in freedom. I

174
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: believe in liberty. I also believe the NFL as an

175
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: organization has their own rules and regulations. That's up to them.

176
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: But is it Is it a good business plan? No?

177
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: And it is it ruining an opportunity for people with

178
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: such diverse backgrounds to share their passion together. I think

179
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: it's it's just not the time and place for it.

180
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: But the reality is shown people are not going to

181
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: always be aligned. You to the mind that every day

182
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: I do the tent of millions of people who agree

183
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: with you. I know tens of millions of people who

184
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: disagree with you. They're all your friends. Let's talk to you.

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: They wouldn't They wouldn't want to They wouldn't want to

186
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: be interviewed by you. They wouldn't want to interview you.

187
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: They wouldn't want to talk. You're sending me home for

188
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: the weekend with, you know, with a self esteem problem.

189
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Go ahead, it's not a self esteem problem. The point

190
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: is it happens, but ultimately America becomes better because in

191
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: the end, you know what you learn to appreciate a

192
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the fact that you have the license to disagree and

193
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: you can still move forward. What we got to do

194
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: as a society is encourage folks that it's okay to

195
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: disagree without being so damned disagreeable. I'll tell you what

196
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I do love.

197
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: Here's a cool moment at the end of every football game. Here.

198
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: Sorry if they show it. Sometimes they show it, sometimes

199
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: they don't. We'll have people from both teams and sometimes

200
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: even the reps at the end of a hard hitting game.

201
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, football players are gladiators. I mean, the average

202
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: career of football players what three and a half years. Yea.

203
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: Most people are not playing in the NFL's because okay,

204
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: they're not playing as long as Tom Brady, who's just

205
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: phenomenal to watch. What a great storyline for all of

206
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: us to love sports. But here's the thing. At the

207
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: end into that game, they form a circle and they

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: get arm in arm and both teams together, coaches together included,

209
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: sometimes the refs included, after they've tried to beat each

210
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: other's brains out on the field, and they pray together,

211
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: thankful for the opportunity to have the jobs that they

212
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: have and perform in front of such large crowds. And

213
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: then you know, shake hands, high five, give each other

214
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: a hug, and go to their respective locker rooms. That's cool.

215
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Will allow the sports expert to retort that is not

216
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: every player. Nope, the fact of the matter is there's

217
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: plenty of players who don't lock on it, take a

218
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: knee and sharing the prayer because they don't like each other.

219
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: They didn't get they didn't commit criminal acted its one another,

220
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: but they don't lock arms with one another. By the way,

221
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: I love fighting in sports. I've been a hockey player

222
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: in my whole life, and the hockey net must never

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: get rid of fire. I love the fight that broke

224
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: out with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend, right I'm

225
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: only telling you. You just made your own point. You

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: pointed out how some come together. I pointed out how

227
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: not all come together. But it's not. It's not politics.

228
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: God isn't really politics. There's a big difference, I think,

229
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, because here's here's the thinking of people that

230
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: half of people in a stadium. If you're taking knee

231
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: during the national anthem, how many how many men, how

232
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: many people thought bled died, lost their limbs, were disfigured

233
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: fighting under that flag out of respect for them? Not

234
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: You can have your political disagreements, is it, And you

235
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: could speak out loudly. But NFL players usually have a

236
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: pretty big platform outside of the game, and and they

237
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: can certainly use that platform to raise money and make

238
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: make things better in the in the cities they live in.

239
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I'm gonna stop you right there. Okay, Yeah,

240
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: you do have people who do that and it shouldn't

241
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: be politicized fair enough, But you also have people who

242
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: don't believe it was politics at all. They believe it

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: was real life issues being you know, confronted, that was

244
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: confronting a disenfranchise community for many, many years. They don't

245
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,239
Speaker 1: view it as politics. The interpretation of it is not political,

246
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: so they don't view it the way Sean Hannity or

247
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: people who think like let me give you an example

248
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: where I agree with you, not politics to them. I've

249
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: watched your show enough to know that you have been

250
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: a very strong advocate for more minorities and positions on

251
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: the coaching side of football and other sports and in

252
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: upper management, and I agree with you. I absolutely think

253
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: that some of these organizations have been atrocious in terms

254
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: of their outreach. There's so much talent out there, and

255
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they've I think they've gotten the message now,

256
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: but it's taken people like you are pointing it out

257
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: for a long period of time to get that accomplished. Yeah, exactly,

258
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to stop. But in the same breath,

259
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: the very people that I support getting these positions to

260
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: speak to your point, I'm going to hold them accountable

261
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: to the importance of upholding the standard that comes with

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: the job. And if you don't do that, there's a

263
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: price that you have to be played, that you have

264
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: to pay, because what we don't want to do is

265
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: dialect dilute rather the importance of those circumstances. Because all right,

266
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: stay right there. I'm not cutting you off. I'm gonna

267
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: hold you over. I rarely do this. I'm gonna hold

Speaker 1: you over, give you five more minutes. On the other side,

Speaker 1: your calls five more minutes With Stephen A. Smith. I

00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Mercy with Stephen A. Smith starts Monday. I'm gonna be

309
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: one of his first guests. I know, Llo Coolja is

00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna be one. Snoop Dog, It's gonna be one. Why

311
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't you put all of us on together? I think

312
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: that'd be a great podcast. It would be a great,

313
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: great podcast. But I'd have to prep up for you.

314
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: First of all, you're gonna do most they'll have to

315
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: get you to say. You're gonna do moth to the talking.

316
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna give very little time to ask questions. Okay,

317
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna do all this and you and this is

318
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: what I tell people about it is like you know

319
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: your kids, let Sean Hannity, you know, just just give

320
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: his spiel. I said, stop, that's him. Sean Hannity is

321
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity all day every day. You ain't changing them.

322
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: The people really bother? Really do people give you a

323
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: hard time because we're friends? Yes? They do. They don't.

324
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: They don't understand why I can talk, why how I

325
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: can't even talk to you because I don't see a

326
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: lot of your views. But the bottom line is I

327
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: tell him all the time. First of all, sometimes he's

328
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: actually right. I hate to admit it, but he is

329
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: number one. Number two. Listen. The bottom line is this.

330
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: You've always been real about who you are, and I'm

331
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: good with that. It doesn't I don't have to agree

332
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: with you to respect you and where you're coming from.

333
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: When I don't like something, I pick up the phone

334
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: and call you if i'm if I if I'm challenging

335
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 1: with something that you're saying. You know, when I get

336
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: to listen to you, I'll let you know, and you

337
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: let me know what you'll tell other people. You actually

338
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: do say from time to time. It's rare. It's rare,

339
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: but you have actually said to me you got a

340
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: good point. I got But you know, I'll tell you

341
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: the one thing that you're not gonna like this, But

342
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the one thing that bonds us,

343
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that where our friendship lies. We both

344
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: have a strong belief in God, a creator, natural law.

345
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: We're endowed by our creator. I believe God created every man, woman,

346
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: and child on this earth. That that for me is fundamental,

347
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: and it is basic, and it is ingrained in my heart,

348
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: mind and soul, and I want every human being. The

349
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: word education is rooted in the Latin derivative at ducree

350
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: to bring forth from within. I believe every child born

351
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: has talent and ability directly given to them from God,

352
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: and a good education nurtures that talent. You have to

353
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: live in a safe town and community, you have to

354
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: have law and order to have it. You need a school,

355
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: the teachers, reading, writing, masks, science history, and computers, which

356
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: we don't have in many places unfortunately. And those are

357
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the things that I talk about. But you know, when

358
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: you have the common humanity, you can that's a great

359
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: starting point for a friendship. That's what it comes down to.

360
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: It's a common humanity. There's there's a quite a few

361
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: things I don't agree with in terms of what you say,

362
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: But it's not that it's the fact that we've got

363
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: politicians on Capitol Hill and they're objective or some things

364
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: that transpired behind the scenes that they're away from the

365
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: kind of things you just alluded to. It's problematic for

366
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: me in more ways than it is for you in

367
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: some cases, and in more ways than it is to

368
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: you than me in other cases. And so because of that,

369
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: we we sort of get lost in the shuffle because

370
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: we think things should be done a different way. We

371
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: think there's a different avenue that you could go down

372
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: to accomplish you could disagree about, but it is without

373
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: being that disagreeable you You asked me for twenty minutes

374
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: from your podcast, and I laughed. I said, there's no

375
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: way I'm gonna be able to do. You're gonna be

376
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: able to do a twenty minute podcast. I'll predict it's

377
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: gonna go over an hour. I predict that I'm gonna

378
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: cut you down about forty minutes. I can tell you

379
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: that much, no matter how much you go too. But

380
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you this though. Here's the thing you

381
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: are right, because this is the thing. You say a

382
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: lot of interesting and compelling things that open the floodgates

383
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: of dialogue. And that's what I really got to give

384
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: you credit for, because even when I disagree with something,

385
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: I love going to other people to regurgitate what you said,

386
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: to see how they would feel and how they react.

387
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: When the cameras are off and they're away from everybody else.

388
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: Those kinds of things are food for thought, and you

389
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: always provide that. So I really appreciate that coming from you.

390
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: As annoying as you can be, why don't we end

391
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: up on that high note as annoying you can be.

392
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: All right, here's the deal. You know what day you

393
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: want me next week for this podcast or you don't know.

394
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you not yet, I'm gonna have you

395
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: on within the next two weeks. I might first two

396
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: weeks is where I'm going, and I might close that

397
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: second week. I don't know yet. I don't know yet.

398
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: It depends on how you say. I don't know. Oh,

399
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: so you're gonna edit it. You already said you're gonna

400
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: edit it, all right, you know how you are. I

401
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: might have I want to get in five questions with you.

Speaker 1: Come on, maybe maybe you got to five at an hour.

403
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: That'd be a record of anybody interview with me. I

Speaker 1: usually take the ball and I don't stop. I run.

429
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: with stephen A? And that was no intention at all.

430
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: But I will think that a basketball game, a football game,

431
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: or a baseball game is any place to show your

432
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: anger and meal for the game. I'm sorry we have

433
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 1: a flag. I've got uncles that died NAB, I've got

434
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: uncles that come from nob just completely disturbed. I've got

435
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: uncles that died later from Agent Orange. I grew up

436
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: in the sixty seventies and eighties. I'm sixty years old

437
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: right now, Sean, and I'm sorry that just suck a

438
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: card with me. And that was not what I called

439
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: to talk to you about. Sean. That's all right. Well, listen,

440
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: I understand you're responding to our conversation with Steve and a.

441
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: What's on your mind today? What's going on in Michigan.

442
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: By the way, You've got a gubernatorial candidate there that

443
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: I think can do pretty well. You know what, I'm

444
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: really kind dumbfounded because we've got to put people at

445
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: the poles. Honestly, God, we've got to put Republicans at

446
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: the poles to watch this stuff. I believe that Destart

447
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: was sold from us. And I'm not kidding. I mean,

448
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: why would they put paper all over the window and

449
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: stop us from coming in to watch the counts? I mean,

450
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: is it's just absolutely crazy. And there is a two

451
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: standard system shown. There's no doubt about it. And I

452
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: realized that when I started listening to you and telling

453
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: me about Hillary. You know what I mean? And bleach

454
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Fit never heard of it before, you know, I mean,

455
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: it is, it's a it's a two standard system. Look

456
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: at the FBI. Um My gosh, look at what Biden's

457
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: done and his son, and are you kidding me? If

458
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Trump did, that's tough, they'd be all over him right now.

459
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: They're trying to attack him just for the fact that

460
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: they can't. I mean, they want to stop him from

461
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: running for president, showing you know that I know that.

462
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it is absolutely unreal. Blows my mind what

463
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: a system we have here. When I found out how

464
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: crooked the FBI was, I mean unreal, I told my wife,

465
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: I said, are you kidding me? Are we living in

466
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: a third world country? Or what my wife is right

467
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: beside me, you know, voting for for Donald Trump and

468
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: voting I mean, we're magnus so Unfortunately they may be coming.

469
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy. Look, it's listen right now what

470
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: we're hearing. And I can't wait to hear from more

471
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: from these whistle blowers. We heard from John Solomon today

472
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: and one whistle blower. But we're now learning that these

473
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: FBI agents are saying that that once great agency now

474
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: has been taken over by politics. It's been politicized. We

475
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: already know that the DOJ's weaponized. We already know we

476
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: have a dual system of justice. This is why in

477
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: forty six days, the people you elect, and I'm talking

478
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: about at the state level, the ages that you are electing,

479
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: the governors that you are electing, that we'll have standards

480
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: in terms of voting, etc. Integrity standards so everyone can

481
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: have confidence and election outcomes and we don't have, you know,

482
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: the constant, never ending chaos, especially in some states. We

483
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: need all of this. It's good for the country. Sorry,

484
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: st We've already found out that there's two different standards

485
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: for Governor Whitney here and the rest of the country.

486
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, So we started to deal with COVID. Her

487
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: husband's going to get us boat out of a freaking dock,

488
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: and and she said that we can't use a boat

489
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: with a motor. My gosh, I'm a fisherman. Shot my

490
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: father lost seventy years old, and him and I have

491
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: been best friend since I met my wife, which was

492
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: forty years ago, and we fished and we hut. But

493
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: we were allowed to use a motor. Attacks that got

494
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: to do with COVID show. It's sl so all right,

495
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: I gotta roll my friend, God blush. You appreciate you

496
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: being with us South Carolina. Peter on the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, Shoan, Hey,

497
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking my call. I've been

498
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: a long time listener and started listening to you when

499
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: you were just on that local station in that little

500
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: city called New York City. Anyways, I've gone, thank you

501
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: thirty eight years of commercial real estate experience, and I

502
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: have a few thoughts and comments that I wanted to

503
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: share with you and your audience, Okay, with regards appraisals

504
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: and that litigation that's taken place in New York State,

505
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: if I may, Okay, yes, sir. I started to look

506
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: at that two twenty two pages and I read about

507
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: thirty pages and I gave up on it. I mean,

508
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: it's just just loaded with a bunch of bunch of fill. Okay,

509
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: But anyways, my comment is bank valuation is different than

510
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: property valuation. The bank is only interested in one thing risk. Okay,

511
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: They're not really interested in appraisals. They measure risk and

512
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: that's all they care about. When they consider a loan,

513
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: they try to arrive at the loan amount and minimize

514
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: any risk that they have. They look at the borrower,

515
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: look at the asset value, and in many cases they

516
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: look at it on a global scale. They look at

517
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: the assets that the borrow borrower owns, so they're not

518
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: just looking at that one asset. They're conservative and they

519
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: look at more than their value. It's all about the

520
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: ability to repay the law if something should go wrong.

521
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: So well, look, to me, this is the dumbest thing ever.

522
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, anyone that's ever done a real estate deal,

523
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: anybody knows that you have to get an appraisal, and

524
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: appraisals can vary. I mean, people take into account different factors,

525
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: they might come up with a different number. That's why

526
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: anybody that's going to lend money, any real financial institution,

527
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: any real bank, is going to do their own due diligence.

528
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: Their own valuations, and they're going to make a determination

529
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: whether or not your valuation is real and correct or not.

530
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: And if there's a disagreement, you might negotiate it out,

531
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: or they're just going to say no and they're going

532
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: to deny your application for the loan. They're not going

533
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: to give it to you. They have a responsibility financially,

534
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: a fiduciary responsibility to people will put money in their

535
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: financial institution to make money. It's not that complicated exactly.

536
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, I deal with this every single day, and

537
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: I performed a number of what we call bovis or

538
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: broker opinion of valuations. It's an opinion, okay, And I'd

539
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: work with the praisers over the years, and I perform

540
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I look at the computer every single day, and I

541
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: deal with investors, buyers, sellers, and we use the same

542
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: approach to arrive and a value. But they can they

543
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: don't represent real value. We only provide an opinion, and

544
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: a praiser only provides an opinion. There's a difference, you know,

545
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: there's a big difference between market value and and I

546
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: know people that tell me all the time, my home

547
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: is worth blankety blankety blankety blame it's up so much

548
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: money since, Okay, it's really only worth that if you

549
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: can get a buyer that will pay that, you can

550
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: you can think it's worth Let's say you think your

551
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: home is worth a million dollars, Well, you can think that,

552
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: but unless somebody's willing to pay a million dollars for

553
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: that home, it's not really worth a million dollars. Now

554
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: you look at comparable sales and a neighborhood, it gives

555
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: you a pretty good feel of what the going rate

556
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: might be, and you might come to an educated guess

557
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: you probably are somewhere in that area. But then you

558
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: have market forces that might change the dynamics. If you

559
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: go back six months ago, you had people day one

560
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: open house and flooded with twenty five potential buyers, and

561
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: five of the buyers are offering above asking price and

562
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: bidding against each other to get the house because of

563
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: the scarcity in the market. And you see that it's

564
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: still happening in some places of Florida, but not like

565
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: it was. But I think Florida will fare better because

566
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: they have an influx and migration of Florida from other states,

567
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: and states like New York are going to be hit

568
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: really hard in the real estate market. Um. Anyway, you

569
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: make really good points. It's just sad that this is

570
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: all about politics, and it's all about destroying one family,

571
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: one one person, and one corporation. And then and I

572
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: think Professor Dershwitz is right. Latitia James, based on her

573
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: comments running for office, should have accused herself in this case. Anyway,

574
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: appreciate the call my friend eight hundred and nine for

575
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: one Shawn, if you want to be a part of

Speaker 1: attempt various types of identity theft crimes against you. Now,

580
