Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and
Speaker 1: information overload.
Speaker 2: All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour eight hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety four one, Shawn our number if you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program. In a minute,
Speaker 2: we're going to be joined by Congressman Patrick Harrigan of
Speaker 2: North Carolina, their tenth district. And something he said caught
Speaker 2: my attention. He's West Point grad Special Ops green Beret,
Speaker 2: member of the House Armed Services Committee and the for
Speaker 2: the Country Caucus, and he actually wrote something that I
Speaker 2: saw that that just stood out to me, and he said,
Speaker 2: regime change by force does not work. We've seen the
Speaker 2: physical cost in our national debt and real cost in
Speaker 2: American lives. Too many politicians in Washington beat the drums
Speaker 2: of war without ever carrying its burden. But I want
Speaker 2: to run over this with you. Was it wrong when
Speaker 2: Donald Trump using the Trump Doctor, as I call it.
Speaker 2: Was it wrong for him to defeat the caliphate? Isis
Speaker 2: that built up under Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: No, it was absolutely not wrong for and.
Speaker 2: The way he did it. He did it without kicking
Speaker 2: indoors or watching men with lots of life to live die,
Speaker 2: or explaining to mothers why their kids weren't coming home
Speaker 2: because he is implementing the next generation of weaponry which
Speaker 2: reduces the need for boots on the ground and the
Speaker 2: risk to American troops' lives.
Speaker 4: Right, That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: No, I think President Trump has successfully navigated situations like
Speaker 3: the one we're dealing with incredibly well throughout his entire
Speaker 3: first term, and has lowered the temperature of international conflict
Speaker 3: during the first five months of his second term. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's done an unbelievable job up to this point, and
Speaker 3: I can't think of a better leader to have at
Speaker 3: the Helm than President Trump, someone that I would trust
Speaker 3: to make these very difficult decisions that he's probably got
Speaker 3: to make in the next forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: And I'm betting that you agree with me and his
Speaker 2: decision to take out Solomani on the tarmac. I mean,
Speaker 2: we were following Solomoni according to report some people I
Speaker 2: spoke to that know, we're up to two straight weeks.
Speaker 2: We had him fully identified in our sites. They watched
Speaker 2: them get on and identified him getting on that commercial airliner.
Speaker 2: They waited for everybody to disembark, and then when he
Speaker 2: was on the tarmac, they took him out. I think
Speaker 2: that was the right decision. I assume you agree with that.
Speaker 3: Too, absolutely I do. There's no question that that changed
Speaker 3: the paradigm of Iran's leadership's decision making from that point
Speaker 3: moving forward towards the United States. And that's what President
Speaker 3: Trump has been known for. He'll put all options out
Speaker 3: on the table and he'll end up choosing a course
Speaker 3: of action that nobody was anticipating, and ultimately that's advantage
Speaker 3: to the United States of America, no question about it.
Speaker 2: Shot and you would agree that taking out Big Daddy
Speaker 2: and associates was also the right decision. So so far
Speaker 2: we're one hundred percent in alignment. I want to make
Speaker 2: sure we are.
Speaker 3: Yes, we sure are, There's no question about that.
Speaker 2: So to me, the Trump doctrine isn't as some are
Speaker 2: identifying it as isolationism, which I think is naive and
Speaker 2: can lead to catastrophic results down the road. And in
Speaker 2: this case, we have to factor in as it relates
Speaker 2: to Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror that
Speaker 2: has also killed many Americans around the globe, from the
Speaker 2: Cobar Towers to Beirut, to Iraq and other places as well.
Speaker 2: That has threatened to wipe Israel and America off the map,
Speaker 2: that has threatened to get missiles big enough to hit
Speaker 2: the continental US. We have a window of opportunity here
Speaker 2: where their missile defense systems are completely obliterated, where Israel
Speaker 2: owns the skies over the entire country, where Israel has
Speaker 2: taken out two of their big nuclear sites, and the
Speaker 2: one remaining site probably needs US assistants and bunker buster bombs.
Speaker 2: And I think it is very much in keeping with
Speaker 2: the Trump doctrine to go in there eliminate that threat,
Speaker 2: because otherwise the world will be held hostage from my perspective,
Speaker 2: and you can tell me if you disagree, and at
Speaker 2: that point, then protect our assets in the region. It's
Speaker 2: not without danger. Every military action has a high degree
Speaker 2: of danger with it. I don't mitigate that at all,
Speaker 2: and I don't underestimate the danger that some people will
Speaker 2: be in harm's way as a result of any military action. However,
Speaker 2: I do believe as commander in chief, if he makes
Speaker 2: that decision, and I believe he probably will, because I
Speaker 2: don't think this window of opportunity will stay open long.
Speaker 2: I think it would be the right choice to forever
Speaker 2: destroy any hope that the Iranians have of a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2: I'm not in the business. I don't think Donald Trump
Speaker 2: was in the business of regime change. Now, if the
Speaker 2: Israelis that have been hit with hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 2: missiles decide that they want to take out their refineries
Speaker 2: and take out their electric grid and go after the
Speaker 2: Supreme Leader, that, as far as I'm concerned, that's their choice.
Speaker 2: They deserve to make that choice after what is after
Speaker 2: what the Iranians have done to them.
Speaker 3: You and I hold absolutely no disagreement in our perspective. Sean,
Speaker 3: and I think that what I've became concerned about over
Speaker 3: the last couple of days is some of my colleagues
Speaker 3: in the House and the Senate, as this situation has unfolded,
Speaker 3: rapidly ushered in a conversation about needing a regime change
Speaker 3: in Iran. And I think that wherever we look in
Speaker 3: our nation's last twenty five years of history, whether it's
Speaker 3: the Global War on Terror, whether it's the Color revolutions
Speaker 3: that we sponsored, whether it's any intervention that America played
Speaker 3: a role in in the Middle East to perpetuate the
Speaker 3: concept of regime change, those have been fundamentally unsuccessful, and
Speaker 3: when you break it, you buy it. You can't just
Speaker 3: go in and break this thing and let it spiral
Speaker 3: completely out of control. That does not seem like it's
Speaker 3: in our greatest strategic interest, and so I just want
Speaker 3: to be very cautious about what's something.
Speaker 2: Have you heard President Trump ever mentioned regime change? The
Speaker 2: only mention he made of the Supreme Leader is that
Speaker 2: he knows where he is and that he's not taking
Speaker 2: him out, even though he could take him out yet.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously he's saying it's an option down the
Speaker 2: road if needed. But I've not heard the President or
Speaker 2: I've never heard the Trump doctor never talk about regime change.
Speaker 3: Me neither, And my comments were not directed towards the president.
Speaker 3: My comments are directed towards many of my colleagues. So
Speaker 3: I've seen on mainstream media across primetime over the last
Speaker 3: couple of nights, and that is where my concern lies,
Speaker 3: and that potentially moving in and impacting the decision making
Speaker 3: of the president eventually. But no, I don't think that
Speaker 3: President Trump's in tension is regime change. I think what
Speaker 3: he's doing is he's laying all options on the table
Speaker 3: and saying look, if you if we wanted you dead Iopola,
Speaker 3: you would be dead. That fundamentally changes is decision making,
Speaker 3: limitations and constraints for ultimately. What I think President Trump
Speaker 3: is trying to do is provide as many diplomatic off
Speaker 3: ramps as possible to come to a peaceful resolution here.
Speaker 3: But obviously the enemy gets a vote, and if President
Speaker 3: Trump decides that it is in the best strategic interest
Speaker 3: of the United States of America, it's the only option
Speaker 3: available to us to make sure that there's not a
Speaker 3: nuclear armed Iran that we need to take action from
Speaker 3: thirty thousand feet I'd be supportive of him.
Speaker 2: I would have preferred that the Iranians go along with
Speaker 2: the presidents you offer for peace. But I also agree
Speaker 2: with the President's understanding of evil in our time and
Speaker 2: that nuclear armed Iran is not a threat that the
Speaker 2: world can withstand because they're radicalism married to weapons of
Speaker 2: mass destruction like this, to me, could result in a
Speaker 2: modern day holocaust. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 3: I think certainly that it is an existential threat to
Speaker 3: Israel and with a rand support of terror.
Speaker 2: What about what about the US? I mean, they've said
Speaker 2: they want to come after the US too. And you've
Speaker 2: got to imagine as in the out years, that they're
Speaker 2: going to have, you know, the missile capability to reach
Speaker 2: the continental US.
Speaker 3: From the intelligence that I have seen, Sean, we are
Speaker 3: a far ways away from that happening. I think Israel
Speaker 3: is much more directly impacted by any potential decision that
Speaker 3: Iran decides to make in the near future, and that
Speaker 3: provides US operational space to make decisions in the future,
Speaker 3: because I think we always want to take as limited
Speaker 3: approach as we possibly can, because these decisions have incredible
Speaker 3: second and third order impacts or are strategic around the globe.
Speaker 3: And that's all I want people to be cautious about.
Speaker 3: Let me just put it in perspective, Sean. Six days ago,
Speaker 3: we were talking about Iran coming to a nuclear deal,
Speaker 3: and we were talking about China being our greatest strategic
Speaker 3: threat in the world, and some you know, a third
Speaker 3: of Congress thinks that it's Russia. I think you and
Speaker 3: I don't believe that, uh.
Speaker 2: By far, by far, China are top geopolitical fault, not
Speaker 2: even close.
Speaker 3: And fast forward six days and we're talking about regime change.
Speaker 3: Some people are talking about regime change.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about it. I've not heard Donald Trump
Speaker 2: talk about it. I'm not even we had Lindsay Graham on.
Speaker 2: He's not talking about regime change.
Speaker 3: I think that there have been many, many representatives and
Speaker 3: senators that have talked about regime change over the last
Speaker 3: couple of days, and I think that we'd be wise
Speaker 3: to not have those discussions. But we ask that.
Speaker 2: I think the president's stated position they can't have a
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, is it? That's it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, We'll come right back and we
Speaker 2: will continue on the other side with North Carolina. Congressman
Speaker 2: Patrick Harrigan is with us eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 2: Shawn is on number. If you want to be a
Speaker 2: part of the program, the Dems want to stand on
Speaker 2: this step saying terrible songs and cursing out Trump.
Speaker 4: You know you have one guy over this shout.
Speaker 2: Ever A wonder if these people ever go to work
Speaker 2: me too. Throughout this is the Sean Hannity Show. Florida
Speaker 2: just legalized gold and silver. Yep, my new home state,
Speaker 2: the Free State of Florida, has made it legal to
Speaker 2: use gold and silver as money. Now. Governor DeSantis explained
Speaker 2: it all by saying, this is our ability to give
Speaker 2: you the financial freedom to be able to protect yourself
Speaker 2: against the declining value of the dollar. This is exactly
Speaker 2: why I partnered with a top precious metals company myself.
Speaker 2: If you want to learn more about how gold and
Speaker 2: silver can help protect your money, if you want to
Speaker 2: inform yourself, do your due diligence, reach out to my
Speaker 2: partners at Gold Call. They're a great company. I'm a customer.
Speaker 2: They've helped me out tremendously. Check them out on the
Speaker 2: web hannitigold dot com or call no obligation eight five
Speaker 2: five eight one five gold get their free twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five gold and silver kit. You'll also learn about their
Speaker 2: unlimited bonus silver offer. That's eight five five eight one
Speaker 2: five gold or Hannitigold dot com. That's Hannitigold dot com.
Speaker 2: We continue now. Congressman Patrick Harrigan is from North Carolina
Speaker 2: and their tenth district. Look. I think as a natural
Speaker 2: occurrence of taking out the if we were to take
Speaker 2: out the nuclear capability, and if the Israelis, if the
Speaker 2: Israelis say, you know what, they want to forever remove
Speaker 2: this threat, they're funding proxy wars and I've been to
Speaker 2: Israel many times. I've been to towns that have been
Speaker 2: hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years. One town,
Speaker 2: one little town, baby town where kids can't play outside.
Speaker 2: I've seen the rockets, I've seen the iron doma action.
Speaker 2: I've been there during conflict, and I could just tell
Speaker 2: you right now this is their everyday reality. And the
Speaker 2: people that have been fomenting this never ending terror campaign
Speaker 2: and funding it and supporting it has been around now.
Speaker 2: The Israelis have a lot more to factor, you know,
Speaker 2: they have a lot more consideration in this than I
Speaker 2: think we do. If the Israelis decide that it's time
Speaker 2: for regime change, be careful always what's on the other
Speaker 2: side of that, because you never know. Although I don't
Speaker 2: know how you can get much worse than what we
Speaker 2: got than this, you know, insane Islamic califate, convert or
Speaker 2: die theocracy. But I think if they Israelis decide that
Speaker 2: they want to incapacitate any ability for this country to
Speaker 2: make money or even have be able to power their
Speaker 2: own people or offer power to their own people, I
Speaker 2: have no problem with the Israeli doing what they deem necessary.
Speaker 2: After what's happened to them.
Speaker 3: I absolutely agree with that. I think that that would
Speaker 3: be fully within their prerogative and their right to provide
Speaker 3: for their own self defense. You're going to find no
Speaker 3: argument for me there, Sean, I think when it comes
Speaker 3: to what America should do in terms of its strategic interest,
Speaker 3: certainly there is a component of America's strategic interest, a
Speaker 3: significant component of ours, that is and should always be
Speaker 3: supportive of Israel as our greatest ally in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's under question. But if we can
Speaker 3: resolve this situation by providing, as President Trump has provided,
Speaker 3: continue diplomatic off ramps to even where we could get
Speaker 3: that proverbial settlement on the courthouse steps prior to prior
Speaker 3: to trial, that would absolutely be a preferable outcome given
Speaker 3: the certain.
Speaker 2: Do you really believe that's a possibility, considering that would
Speaker 2: mean that the Iranians the next day have to allow anywhere,
Speaker 2: any place, anytime, inspections and the complete dismantling of their
Speaker 2: entire nuclear program, and Americans being the lead supervisors and
Speaker 2: on the ground watching that. I don't ever see that happening.
Speaker 3: I think we should always leave the possibility for that
Speaker 3: to happen open and the way that you craft that situation, Sean,
Speaker 3: is you allow Israel to continue doing what it's doing,
Speaker 3: because at some point it comes down to the existential
Speaker 3: survival of a regime that fundamentally changes their thought paradigm
Speaker 3: and how they approach the negotiation process to coming to
Speaker 3: a deal. I think that there's a low probability of
Speaker 3: that happening, but I certainly don't think that we should
Speaker 3: be locked in to any one particular course of action.
Speaker 3: You've always got to leave room for what the adversary
Speaker 3: can choose to do, and hopefully they make the right decision,
Speaker 3: and if they don't, as President Trump has said, we
Speaker 3: will have to deal with them the other way.
Speaker 2: It looks like more and more that the other way
Speaker 2: looks like the only option that's going to be left remaining. However,
Speaker 2: I do want to put emphasis on something you're warning
Speaker 2: people about. There's no military option, even owning the skies
Speaker 2: of Iran that is risk free. And we do have
Speaker 2: bases and we have troops in the region. We also
Speaker 2: have shipping lanes that could be sabotaged. There is great
Speaker 2: risk in any such thing. So I would only say
Speaker 2: that our prayers are with our brave men and women
Speaker 2: in the military, and our commander in chief and our
Speaker 2: allies in Israel, and that this situation, which has become
Speaker 2: untenable by this sick, twisted, evil regime, come to a
Speaker 2: as successful an end with the least amount of damage
Speaker 2: and carnage and death as possible. But they but they've
Speaker 2: made their choice as of now, so it would be
Speaker 2: on them. Thank you for your service, Congressman. You're a
Speaker 2: good man. God bless you, and and I think you
Speaker 2: gave us a lot of insight. We really do appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Always great to be with you, Sean, God blessed.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, Linda. The hard
Speaker 2: hitting ABC Disney News show the view a big fight
Speaker 2: over what to do with I wrong list. The Iranians
Speaker 2: literally throw gay people off of buildings. They don't hear
Speaker 2: the basic human.
Speaker 4: Listen here, let's not let's not do that.
Speaker 5: Let's not do that because if we start with that,
Speaker 5: we had we have been known in this country to
Speaker 5: tie gay folks.
Speaker 2: To the where but where the Iran just black people?
Speaker 2: So is it not even the same?
Speaker 4: I couldn't.
Speaker 2: That's not what you mean, is say it is the same.
Speaker 5: Murdering someone for their difference is not good. Whoever does
Speaker 5: it's not good. So that's why I said you you
Speaker 5: weren't saying what you What I heard was not what
Speaker 5: you meant.
Speaker 2: I think it's very different to live in the United
Speaker 2: States in twenty twenty five than it is to live
Speaker 2: in an You're not for everybody, not if you're black.
Speaker 4: Guys don't go to tron do not.
Speaker 2: Why do I get a headache every time we play this?
Speaker 2: Can we stop monitoring? Who monitors this show? For my
Speaker 2: for this show? Who got who? Who gets burdened with
Speaker 2: that task of having to watch that show every day? Linda?
Speaker 2: Who has to watch that show? Who do you make
Speaker 2: watch the show?
Speaker 6: Because I couldn't tell you that was me, so you
Speaker 6: have to watch it. I don't pay you enough money
Speaker 6: to watch that show, you know. I can't never pay
Speaker 6: you enough money to watch that show.
Speaker 2: It's horrible, horrible show.
Speaker 1: And the fact that she for one second thinks that
Speaker 1: comparing the people that are hanging from cranes in the
Speaker 1: middle of Tehran is equivalent to her hosting a national
Speaker 1: morning show on ABC, ma'am just inappropriate.
Speaker 2: You think they're just out of their minds. That's all
Speaker 2: there is to it.
Speaker 1: But it's actually really offensive. It's really offensive if you
Speaker 1: talk to these young women who are kept as slaves,
Speaker 1: some as young as the age of eight to nine,
Speaker 1: married off to men that they are old enough to
Speaker 1: be their grandfathers. And she's equating.
Speaker 2: That, Oh, I have no words. It just doesn't worth
Speaker 2: my time. Eight hundred and nine four one shown on number.
Speaker 2: You want to be a part of the program, Let's
Speaker 2: say hi to Aaron in California, the United Socialist Utopia. Aaron,
Speaker 2: how are you.
Speaker 4: I'm doing well. How are you today?
Speaker 2: I'm good, sir. What's on your mind?
Speaker 4: Well? I wanted to follow up with a caller that
Speaker 4: you had yesterday. Was young man. I think he's out
Speaker 4: of Sacramento, living in his car, couldn't afford a place.
Speaker 2: To live, yes, sir, And he's just got divorced or
Speaker 2: he's separated from his wife and he as a kid.
Speaker 2: He works full time. He works on garage doors, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, is something in neat. I know, because
Speaker 2: my garage door breaks constantly. It's infuriating.
Speaker 4: Well so, and I commend him on working full time.
Speaker 4: The issue and what I heard led into a couple
Speaker 4: of different issues for me. Number one, some of the
Speaker 4: advice that I heard was we need to work more,
Speaker 4: need to get another job. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: know this, but California dictates child support based off of
Speaker 4: gross income. So the more he works and the more
Speaker 4: money he makes, the more child support he's going to
Speaker 4: end up paying.
Speaker 2: Well, look, there's only two ways that I can think
Speaker 2: of if you if you want to get out of
Speaker 2: financial trouble, and I've been there is Number one, spend
Speaker 2: as little as possible. And number two is bring in
Speaker 2: more income. And even if a percentage of that income
Speaker 2: is going to support your child or or espousal support
Speaker 2: or whatever the deal is that you've you made with
Speaker 2: your ex, it's you're still going to come out with
Speaker 2: more money.
Speaker 4: Well, the issue, the issue ultimately is California itself. We
Speaker 4: live in a state where it is just not economically
Speaker 4: feasible for people making money under forty grand And I'm
Speaker 4: going to give you some examples. Number one, I mean,
Speaker 4: we have unelected boards like to see California Public Utilies
Speaker 4: Commission that just gave pg PG it's sixth rate increase
Speaker 4: this year. We have the California Air Resource board unelected
Speaker 4: board that just is raising our gas tax again coming
Speaker 4: up July. First, we have our health insurance. My health
Speaker 4: insurance mine quadrupled in twenty twenty four. My son, he's five.
Speaker 2: His health Maybe if they didn't spend, you know, tens
Speaker 2: and tens of billions of dollars on legal immigrants in
Speaker 2: your state, you'd be better off. But go ahead, I
Speaker 2: hear you.
Speaker 4: I didn't. I vote read And one of the things
Speaker 4: that I wanted to talk about was that forty percent
Speaker 4: of California is read and and what California needs to do,
Speaker 4: and I think what Public Republican Party needs to do
Speaker 4: is start kind of packaging up this up to kind
Speaker 4: of the more moderate in the Independent because this guy
Speaker 4: who's making this money, he just can't afford to live here.
Speaker 4: And and this goes to in another issue.
Speaker 2: Look, look, I've been in this position. Let me let
Speaker 2: me explain something to you. I've lived paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 4: I live paycheck to paycheck, so I live paycheck.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're living paycheck. And by the way, it sucks,
Speaker 2: it really does. And that's why I offered to help
Speaker 2: the guy out yesterday because I want to see him
Speaker 2: get on his feet. I want him to have a
Speaker 2: place where he can bring his son. And I understand, however,
Speaker 2: I'm just giving the advice I practiced myself, and I
Speaker 2: worked out deals with my landlord, you know, to cut
Speaker 2: the lawn and paint the house and hang wallpaper and
Speaker 2: do chores and clean out an old barn that was
Speaker 2: a mess, and do all sorts of things, you know,
Speaker 2: just to make my rink go down. And I had
Speaker 2: a great landlord that was very accommodating and had a
Speaker 2: lot of work that I could do. And it was
Speaker 2: it worked out, you know, pretty well for me. And
Speaker 2: then I worked as much over time as I could.
Speaker 2: But I was also single, and then I lived beneath
Speaker 2: my means. I couldn't even afford to go to McDonald's
Speaker 2: at that point in my life. It was it was
Speaker 2: too much of a luxury. At that point in my life.
Speaker 2: I would make a meat loaf for the week and
Speaker 2: that would be what I ate all week. And you know,
Speaker 2: I make I make a mean meat loaf by way.
Speaker 2: But the only way to get ahead is you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to work more hours, make more money, and find
Speaker 2: ways to bring in more income and spend less money.
Speaker 2: It's not easy to do. I'm not saying any of
Speaker 2: it's easy. When my car broke, I had a two
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a condoline van at one point, which was
Speaker 2: my work truck. It was breaking all the time. I
Speaker 2: had to fix it all the time. I had a
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars Ford Maverick nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 2: I used to fix that myself. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: you have to find a way otherwise you're going to
Speaker 2: live in your car. I don't want this guy living
Speaker 2: in his car.
Speaker 4: Point is that we in California are living paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 4: I heard an ad on your this radio.
Speaker 2: What's he going to He can't leave his kid behind.
Speaker 2: He's not going to leave the state and go to
Speaker 2: a better state.
Speaker 4: California voters need to just start voting for different policies
Speaker 4: so that we can afford to live here. Policies that
Speaker 4: allow for home building, policies that allow for companies like
Speaker 4: PGN and CALAM to not just keep jacking our utility
Speaker 4: cor right, Policies that lead for our health insurance to
Speaker 4: start coming down the more money.
Speaker 2: Here's here's the problem. People that are sick and tired
Speaker 2: of the burdensome taxation regulation, intrusion into their lives, More
Speaker 2: and more of them that would be more likely to
Speaker 2: vote read like you have left your state. I left
Speaker 2: New York for a variety of reasons, not the least
Speaker 2: of which of what you're describing.
Speaker 4: So again, my point is is that simply making more money.
Speaker 2: You don't want to hear any of my solutions. You're
Speaker 2: saying to me that I gave this guy bad advice
Speaker 2: and simply making more money isn't gonna help. Well, it's
Speaker 2: not gonna hurt you.
Speaker 4: Dinna drive up his healthcare costs and he's gonna pay
Speaker 4: more child support. California needs to start fixing this from
Speaker 4: the inside out. And that's what I'm saying, is.
Speaker 2: That, listen, maybe he just needs one of the ways
Speaker 2: I learned to make money, and it started. This is
Speaker 2: when I began to start to save is I learned
Speaker 2: how to paint houses inside and out, interior exterior, hang wallpaper,
Speaker 2: and lay tile, and I got good. I wasn't good
Speaker 2: at it, I was actually great at it. I had
Speaker 2: a great eye for finish work, and I would work.
Speaker 2: I'd start at seven in the morning and I'd finish
Speaker 2: at ten at night, and I'd go get up the
Speaker 2: next day and do it again. And I work Saturdays
Speaker 2: and I work Sundays. I'm not missing his point, Linda
Speaker 2: just said in my ear, you're missing. I'm not missing
Speaker 2: his point that he's saying that if you don't, if
Speaker 2: you do these things, it's still not going to work
Speaker 2: in California. That's what he's saying.
Speaker 4: Of your net income when you back in the day.
Speaker 1: I think I think if I may, and I very
Speaker 1: rarely do this, and I think you know that. You
Speaker 1: guys are actually agreeing. You're just not saying it the
Speaker 1: same way. The caller is explaining that while what you
Speaker 1: did was out of a good heart and kindness, it's
Speaker 1: not going to help him in the long run because
Speaker 1: no matter how much money he makes, unless he's a
Speaker 1: multi millionaire in California, it will not be enough.
Speaker 2: It is to do what he needs to do right now.
Speaker 2: This is not a livable incoming in California. You're right,
Speaker 2: but then follow the rest of my advice. You've got
Speaker 2: to bring in more money, right, to.
Speaker 1: Bring in more monday and money, and under.
Speaker 2: Current county benefit rules, you get screwed. That's what he's saying, okay,
Speaker 2: but you're still going to have more money after you
Speaker 2: pay your child support. Even if they take away health
Speaker 2: care benefits for a period of time, you're still going
Speaker 2: to have more money in your pocket. If you work
Speaker 2: another twenty hours a week, you will still and you
Speaker 2: pay your child support, whatever your spous will support, You're
Speaker 2: still gonna end up with another, you know, four hundred
Speaker 2: bucks a week, which is significant if you're in that situation.
Speaker 4: In my view, that net four hundred How do you
Speaker 4: make an additional four hundred bucks a week net when
Speaker 4: you're already working full time?
Speaker 2: He's working. He's told to me he works forty hours
Speaker 2: a week. Okay, I used to work eighty hours a week.
Speaker 2: By the way, I still work eighty hours a week.
Speaker 2: If your truth be told, I work a full week.
Speaker 2: I don't stop. Linda, how many times do you get
Speaker 2: text from me at four in the morning.
Speaker 1: All the time, every day?
Speaker 2: And how many times do you get texts about stories
Speaker 2: all weekend and ideas for the weekend all the time?
Speaker 1: I just say your thought, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sir.
Speaker 4: California does not incentivize people to work harder, because if
Speaker 4: this guy make works harder and makes more money. His
Speaker 4: health care costs through medical are going to.
Speaker 2: Double a triple, correct, And you know what, and then
Speaker 2: you paint somebody's house, I'll paint threat room in your house.
Speaker 2: They give you two hundred dollars cash. And I'm not
Speaker 2: telling people to break the law.
Speaker 4: Okay, what I'm saying is California itself the policy.
Speaker 2: You're saying to just give up because you won't net
Speaker 2: any any money at all, both if you if you
Speaker 2: do it, I agree with your principle. I'm not disagreeing.
Speaker 2: They make it, they disincentivize you. However, if I'm going
Speaker 2: to have another two hundred dollars a week and working hard,
Speaker 2: I'll still take it. I'd rather have the money and
Speaker 2: have a place for my child in his situation than
Speaker 2: any other consideration. Living in your car with a young
Speaker 2: child is not an option for me. Does that make sense.
Speaker 4: To spend time with your kid? Working eighty hours a week,
Speaker 4: you're gonna be spending our childcare was sixteen hundred a month,
Speaker 4: So okay, sir, So your solution is go work eighty
Speaker 4: hours a week. Okay, So now you've got a baby.
Speaker 4: What do you do with your baby and your kid? Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not seeing the baby now because if he's
Speaker 2: living in a car, there's not a judge in the
Speaker 2: country that's gonna let this guy see his kid or
Speaker 2: let the kids stay with him.
Speaker 3: So he goes.
Speaker 2: You might as well get You might as well work hard,
Speaker 2: get an apartment, at least see him on the weekends,
Speaker 2: maybe Sundays. Maybe that's all the time, and he'll have
Speaker 2: with the child. It's it's not there's nothing ideal about
Speaker 2: this situation, and government makes it worse. I can see
Speaker 2: your point at the highest level. All right, I wish
Speaker 2: I had more time. I mean, I feel, I really
Speaker 2: feel for this guy, which is why I want to
Speaker 2: give him at least a start in the hopes that
Speaker 2: maybe he'll be able to get a little, you know,
Speaker 2: clean studio apartment, a place when he's free he can
Speaker 2: see his child. Quick break right back, will continue, right,
Speaker 2: that's gonna wrap things up for today. Hannity Tonight nine
