WEBVTT - Those Who Serve Know - June 18th, Hour 3 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.080 Stay right here for our final news round up and 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:04.600 information overload. 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.640 All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour eight hundred 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.960 and ninety four one, Shawn our number if you want 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:12.440 to be a part of the program. In a minute, 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.159 we're going to be joined by Congressman Patrick Harrigan of 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.600 North Carolina, their tenth district. And something he said caught 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.439 my attention. He's West Point grad Special Ops green Beret, 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.920 member of the House Armed Services Committee and the for 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:32.440 the Country Caucus, and he actually wrote something that I 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.680 saw that that just stood out to me, and he said, 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.919 regime change by force does not work. We've seen the 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.600 physical cost in our national debt and real cost in 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.960 American lives. Too many politicians in Washington beat the drums 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.840 of war without ever carrying its burden. But I want 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.520 to run over this with you. Was it wrong when 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.120 Donald Trump using the Trump Doctor, as I call it. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.200 Was it wrong for him to defeat the caliphate? Isis 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.920 that built up under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.920 No, it was absolutely not wrong for and. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.400 The way he did it. He did it without kicking 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.240 indoors or watching men with lots of life to live die, 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.720 or explaining to mothers why their kids weren't coming home 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:23.240 because he is implementing the next generation of weaponry which 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.679 reduces the need for boots on the ground and the 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.000 risk to American troops' lives. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.520 Right, That's exactly right. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:35.280 No, I think President Trump has successfully navigated situations like 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.240 the one we're dealing with incredibly well throughout his entire 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.360 first term, and has lowered the temperature of international conflict 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.600 during the first five months of his second term. I mean, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.920 he's done an unbelievable job up to this point, and 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.880 I can't think of a better leader to have at 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.840 the Helm than President Trump, someone that I would trust 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.920 to make these very difficult decisions that he's probably got 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.440 to make in the next forty eight hours. 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.400 And I'm betting that you agree with me and his 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.440 decision to take out Solomani on the tarmac. I mean, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.480 we were following Solomoni according to report some people I 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.799 spoke to that know, we're up to two straight weeks. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.840 We had him fully identified in our sites. They watched 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.880 them get on and identified him getting on that commercial airliner. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.360 They waited for everybody to disembark, and then when he 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.040 was on the tarmac, they took him out. I think 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.400 that was the right decision. I assume you agree with that. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.880 Too, absolutely I do. There's no question that that changed 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:38.200 the paradigm of Iran's leadership's decision making from that point 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.040 moving forward towards the United States. And that's what President 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.000 Trump has been known for. He'll put all options out 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.760 on the table and he'll end up choosing a course 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.639 of action that nobody was anticipating, and ultimately that's advantage 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.920 to the United States of America, no question about it. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.200 Shot and you would agree that taking out Big Daddy 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.560 and associates was also the right decision. So so far 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.520 we're one hundred percent in alignment. I want to make 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:04.119 sure we are. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.400 Yes, we sure are, There's no question about that. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.280 So to me, the Trump doctrine isn't as some are 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.560 identifying it as isolationism, which I think is naive and 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.720 can lead to catastrophic results down the road. And in 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.440 this case, we have to factor in as it relates 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.000 to Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror that 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.160 has also killed many Americans around the globe, from the 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:36.040 Cobar Towers to Beirut, to Iraq and other places as well. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.320 That has threatened to wipe Israel and America off the map, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.160 that has threatened to get missiles big enough to hit 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.760 the continental US. We have a window of opportunity here 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:52.600 where their missile defense systems are completely obliterated, where Israel 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.160 owns the skies over the entire country, where Israel has 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.160 taken out two of their big nuclear sites, and the 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.920 one remaining site probably needs US assistants and bunker buster bombs. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.360 And I think it is very much in keeping with 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.040 the Trump doctrine to go in there eliminate that threat, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.920 because otherwise the world will be held hostage from my perspective, 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.039 and you can tell me if you disagree, and at 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.000 that point, then protect our assets in the region. It's 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.839 not without danger. Every military action has a high degree 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.200 of danger with it. I don't mitigate that at all, 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:35.400 and I don't underestimate the danger that some people will 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.200 be in harm's way as a result of any military action. However, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.159 I do believe as commander in chief, if he makes 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.760 that decision, and I believe he probably will, because I 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.520 don't think this window of opportunity will stay open long. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.880 I think it would be the right choice to forever 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.640 destroy any hope that the Iranians have of a nuclear weapon. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.120 I'm not in the business. I don't think Donald Trump 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.719 was in the business of regime change. Now, if the 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.240 Israelis that have been hit with hundreds of thousands of 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.400 missiles decide that they want to take out their refineries 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.960 and take out their electric grid and go after the 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.640 Supreme Leader, that, as far as I'm concerned, that's their choice. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.840 They deserve to make that choice after what is after 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.440 what the Iranians have done to them. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.520 You and I hold absolutely no disagreement in our perspective. Sean, 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.520 and I think that what I've became concerned about over 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.640 the last couple of days is some of my colleagues 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.120 in the House and the Senate, as this situation has unfolded, 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.559 rapidly ushered in a conversation about needing a regime change 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.359 in Iran. And I think that wherever we look in 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.040 our nation's last twenty five years of history, whether it's 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.720 the Global War on Terror, whether it's the Color revolutions 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.200 that we sponsored, whether it's any intervention that America played 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.680 a role in in the Middle East to perpetuate the 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.440 concept of regime change, those have been fundamentally unsuccessful, and 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.479 when you break it, you buy it. You can't just 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.400 go in and break this thing and let it spiral 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.240 completely out of control. That does not seem like it's 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.120 in our greatest strategic interest, and so I just want 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.520 to be very cautious about what's something. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.120 Have you heard President Trump ever mentioned regime change? The 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.000 only mention he made of the Supreme Leader is that 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.560 he knows where he is and that he's not taking 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.840 him out, even though he could take him out yet. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.359 I mean, obviously he's saying it's an option down the 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.960 road if needed. But I've not heard the President or 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.920 I've never heard the Trump doctor never talk about regime change. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.799 Me neither, And my comments were not directed towards the president. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.440 My comments are directed towards many of my colleagues. So 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.080 I've seen on mainstream media across primetime over the last 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.400 couple of nights, and that is where my concern lies, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.360 and that potentially moving in and impacting the decision making 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.839 of the president eventually. But no, I don't think that 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.320 President Trump's in tension is regime change. I think what 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.240 he's doing is he's laying all options on the table 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.440 and saying look, if you if we wanted you dead Iopola, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:15.200 you would be dead. That fundamentally changes is decision making, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.040 limitations and constraints for ultimately. What I think President Trump 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.640 is trying to do is provide as many diplomatic off 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.600 ramps as possible to come to a peaceful resolution here. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.920 But obviously the enemy gets a vote, and if President 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.600 Trump decides that it is in the best strategic interest 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.040 of the United States of America, it's the only option 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.600 available to us to make sure that there's not a 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.800 nuclear armed Iran that we need to take action from 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.280 thirty thousand feet I'd be supportive of him. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.080 I would have preferred that the Iranians go along with 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:54.440 the presidents you offer for peace. But I also agree 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:59.680 with the President's understanding of evil in our time and 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:04.640 that nuclear armed Iran is not a threat that the 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:09.360 world can withstand because they're radicalism married to weapons of 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.720 mass destruction like this, to me, could result in a 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.600 modern day holocaust. Do you agree with that? 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.480 I think certainly that it is an existential threat to 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.280 Israel and with a rand support of terror. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.280 What about what about the US? I mean, they've said 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.000 they want to come after the US too. And you've 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.760 got to imagine as in the out years, that they're 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.000 going to have, you know, the missile capability to reach 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.080 the continental US. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.880 From the intelligence that I have seen, Sean, we are 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.280 a far ways away from that happening. I think Israel 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.720 is much more directly impacted by any potential decision that 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.880 Iran decides to make in the near future, and that 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.680 provides US operational space to make decisions in the future, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.880 because I think we always want to take as limited 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.040 approach as we possibly can, because these decisions have incredible 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:08.319 second and third order impacts or are strategic around the globe. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.960 And that's all I want people to be cautious about. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.679 Let me just put it in perspective, Sean. Six days ago, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.800 we were talking about Iran coming to a nuclear deal, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.280 and we were talking about China being our greatest strategic 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.080 threat in the world, and some you know, a third 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.600 of Congress thinks that it's Russia. I think you and 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.480 I don't believe that, uh. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.200 By far, by far, China are top geopolitical fault, not 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:33.760 even close. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.040 And fast forward six days and we're talking about regime change. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.280 Some people are talking about regime change. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.680 I'm not talking about it. I've not heard Donald Trump 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.360 talk about it. I'm not even we had Lindsay Graham on. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.439 He's not talking about regime change. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.640 I think that there have been many, many representatives and 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.120 senators that have talked about regime change over the last 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.439 couple of days, and I think that we'd be wise 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.240 to not have those discussions. But we ask that. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.960 I think the president's stated position they can't have a 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.760 nuclear weapon, is it? That's it? 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.199 Yeah, me too, I'm one hundred percent. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.800 All right, quick break, We'll come right back and we 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.920 will continue on the other side with North Carolina. Congressman 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.760 Patrick Harrigan is with us eight hundred and nine four one. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.040 Shawn is on number. If you want to be a 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:25.400 part of the program, the Dems want to stand on 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.560 this step saying terrible songs and cursing out Trump. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.360 You know you have one guy over this shout. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.800 Ever A wonder if these people ever go to work 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:40.920 me too. Throughout this is the Sean Hannity Show. Florida 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.600 just legalized gold and silver. Yep, my new home state, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.720 the Free State of Florida, has made it legal to 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.960 use gold and silver as money. Now. Governor DeSantis explained 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.480 it all by saying, this is our ability to give 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.000 you the financial freedom to be able to protect yourself 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.720 against the declining value of the dollar.

I think as a natural 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:56.280 occurrence of taking out the if we were to take 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.840 out the nuclear capability, and if the Israelis, if the 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:05.520 Israelis say, you know what, they want to forever remove 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.320 this threat, they're funding proxy wars and I've been to 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.960 Israel many times. I've been to towns that have been 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.920 hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years. One town, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.439 one little town, baby town where kids can't play outside. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.160 I've seen the rockets, I've seen the iron doma action. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.520 I've been there during conflict, and I could just tell 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.040 you right now this is their everyday reality. And the 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.760 people that have been fomenting this never ending terror campaign 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:37.240 and funding it and supporting it has been around now. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.559 The Israelis have a lot more to factor, you know, 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.600 they have a lot more consideration in this than I 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.280 think we do. If the Israelis decide that it's time 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.400 for regime change, be careful always what's on the other 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.160 side of that, because you never know. Although I don't 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.640 know how you can get much worse than what we 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.360 got than this, you know, insane Islamic califate, convert or 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.920 die theocracy. But I think if they Israelis decide that 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.080 they want to incapacitate any ability for this country to 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.240 make money or even have be able to power their 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.920 own people or offer power to their own people, I 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.720 have no problem with the Israeli doing what they deem necessary. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.120 After what's happened to them. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.760 I absolutely agree with that. I think that that would 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.600 be fully within their prerogative and their right to provide 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.960 for their own self defense. You're going to find no 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.199 argument for me there, Sean, I think when it comes 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:34.040 to what America should do in terms of its strategic interest, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.000 certainly there is a component of America's strategic interest, a 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.720 significant component of ours, that is and should always be 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.800 supportive of Israel as our greatest ally in the Middle East. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.520 I don't think that's under question. But if we can 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.840 resolve this situation by providing, as President Trump has provided, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.120 continue diplomatic off ramps to even where we could get 0:13:55.120 --> 0:14:00.560 that proverbial settlement on the courthouse steps prior to prior 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:06.319 to trial, that would absolutely be a preferable outcome given 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:07.600 the certain. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:12.640 Do you really believe that's a possibility, considering that would 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:18.040 mean that the Iranians the next day have to allow anywhere, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.600 any place, anytime, inspections and the complete dismantling of their 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:28.520 entire nuclear program, and Americans being the lead supervisors and 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.360 on the ground watching that. I don't ever see that happening. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.160 I think we should always leave the possibility for that 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.280 to happen open and the way that you craft that situation, Sean, 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.600 is you allow Israel to continue doing what it's doing, 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.960 because at some point it comes down to the existential 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.640 survival of a regime that fundamentally changes their thought paradigm 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.640 and how they approach the negotiation process to coming to 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.160 a deal. I think that there's a low probability of 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.960 that happening, but I certainly don't think that we should 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.320 be locked in to any one particular course of action. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.600 You've always got to leave room for what the adversary 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.080 can choose to do, and hopefully they make the right decision, 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.160 and if they don't, as President Trump has said, we 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.200 will have to deal with them the other way. 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.000 It looks like more and more that the other way 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:22.480 looks like the only option that's going to be left remaining. However, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.360 I do want to put emphasis on something you're warning 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:31.040 people about. There's no military option, even owning the skies 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.960 of Iran that is risk free. And we do have 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.600 bases and we have troops in the region. We also 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.040 have shipping lanes that could be sabotaged. There is great 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:46.160 risk in any such thing. So I would only say 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160 that our prayers are with our brave men and women 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.800 in the military, and our commander in chief and our 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.680 allies in Israel, and that this situation, which has become 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.560 untenable by this sick, twisted, evil regime, come to a 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.720 as successful an end with the least amount of damage 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.120 and carnage and death as possible. But they but they've 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.240 made their choice as of now, so it would be 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.400 on them. Thank you for your service, Congressman. You're a 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.680 good man. God bless you, and and I think you 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.080 gave us a lot of insight. We really do appreciate it. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.080 Always great to be with you, Sean, God blessed. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.120 I don't know if you saw this, Linda. The hard 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:30.280 hitting ABC Disney News show the view a big fight 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.800 over what to do with I wrong list. The Iranians 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.040 literally throw gay people off of buildings. They don't hear 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:36.880 the basic human. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.840 Listen here, let's not let's not do that. 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.760 Let's not do that because if we start with that, 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.960 we had we have been known in this country to 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.600 tie gay folks. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:55.120 To the where but where the Iran just black people? 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:56.880 So is it not even the same? 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:57.640 I couldn't. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.320 That's not what you mean, is say it is the same. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:07.080 Murdering someone for their difference is not good. Whoever does 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:12.520 it's not good. So that's why I said you you 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.080 weren't saying what you What I heard was not what 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:16.600 you meant. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.000 I think it's very different to live in the United 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.719 States in twenty twenty five than it is to live 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.720 in an You're not for everybody, not if you're black. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.720 Guys don't go to tron do not. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.359 Why do I get a headache every time we play this? 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.960 Can we stop monitoring? Who monitors this show? For my 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.480 for this show? Who got who? Who gets burdened with 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:42.280 that task of having to watch that show every day? Linda? 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.160 Who has to watch that show? Who do you make 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:45.000 watch the show? 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.280 Because I couldn't tell you that was me, so you 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.200 have to watch it. I don't pay you enough money 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.000 to watch that show, you know. I can't never pay 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.600 you enough money to watch that show. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.040 It's horrible, horrible show. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.199 And the fact that she for one second thinks that 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.240 comparing the people that are hanging from cranes in the 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.240 middle of Tehran is equivalent to her hosting a national 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:14.480 morning show on ABC, ma'am just inappropriate. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.959 You think they're just out of their minds. That's all 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.000 there is to it. 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.040 But it's actually really offensive. It's really offensive if you 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.880 talk to these young women who are kept as slaves, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.000 some as young as the age of eight to nine, 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.639 married off to men that they are old enough to 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.520 be their grandfathers. And she's equating. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:41.160 That, Oh, I have no words. It just doesn't worth 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:44.280 my time. Eight hundred and nine four one shown on number. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.680 You want to be a part of the program, Let's 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.720 say hi to Aaron in California, the United Socialist Utopia. Aaron, 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:52.199 how are you. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.399 I'm doing well. How are you today? 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:56.800 I'm good, sir. What's on your mind? 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:58.960 Well? I wanted to follow up with a caller that 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.199 you had yesterday. Was young man. I think he's out 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.600 of Sacramento, living in his car, couldn't afford a place. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.760 To live, yes, sir, And he's just got divorced or 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.439 he's separated from his wife and he as a kid. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.960 He works full time. He works on garage doors, which, 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.720 by the way, is something in neat. I know, because 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.320 my garage door breaks constantly. It's infuriating. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.560 Well so, and I commend him on working full time. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.680 The issue and what I heard led into a couple 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.639 of different issues for me. Number one, some of the 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.040 advice that I heard was we need to work more, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.600 need to get another job. I don't know if you 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.919 know this, but California dictates child support based off of 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.600 gross income. So the more he works and the more 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.000 money he makes, the more child support he's going to 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:43.719 end up paying. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.560 Well, look, there's only two ways that I can think 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.600 of if you if you want to get out of 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:56.240 financial trouble, and I've been there is Number one, spend 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.399 as little as possible. And number two is bring in 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.600 more income. And even if a percentage of that income 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.240 is going to support your child or or espousal support 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.199 or whatever the deal is that you've you made with 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.800 your ex, it's you're still going to come out with 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.119 more money. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.439 Well, the issue, the issue ultimately is California itself. We 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:21.000 live in a state where it is just not economically 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:26.360 feasible for people making money under forty grand And I'm 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.400 going to give you some examples. Number one, I mean, 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.080 we have unelected boards like to see California Public Utilies 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:37.680 Commission that just gave pg PG it's sixth rate increase 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.359 this year. We have the California Air Resource board unelected 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.359 board that just is raising our gas tax again coming 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:48.240 up July. First, we have our health insurance. My health 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:54.800 insurance mine quadrupled in twenty twenty four. My son, he's five. 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.159 His health Maybe if they didn't spend, you know, tens 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.919 and tens of billions of dollars on legal immigrants in 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.879 your state, you'd be better off. But go ahead, I 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:03.440 hear you. 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.560 I didn't. I vote read And one of the things 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.480 that I wanted to talk about was that forty percent 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.959 of California is read and and what California needs to do, 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.479 and I think what Public Republican Party needs to do 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.120 is start kind of packaging up this up to kind 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.560 of the more moderate in the Independent because this guy 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.480 who's making this money, he just can't afford to live here. 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.720 And and this goes to in another issue. 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.199 Look, look, I've been in this position. Let me let 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.040 me explain something to you. I've lived paycheck to paycheck. 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.640 I live paycheck to paycheck, so I live paycheck. 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.040 Okay, you're living paycheck. And by the way, it sucks, 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.600 it really does. And that's why I offered to help 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.280 the guy out yesterday because I want to see him 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:47.800 get on his feet. I want him to have a 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.960 place where he can bring his son. And I understand, however, 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:57.119 I'm just giving the advice I practiced myself, and I 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.360 worked out deals with my landlord, you know, to cut 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.720 the lawn and paint the house and hang wallpaper and 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.040 do chores and clean out an old barn that was 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.159 a mess, and do all sorts of things, you know, 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.080 just to make my rink go down. And I had 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.119 a great landlord that was very accommodating and had a 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:16.679 lot of work that I could do. And it was 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.840 it worked out, you know, pretty well for me. And 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.800 then I worked as much over time as I could. 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.040 But I was also single, and then I lived beneath 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.160 my means. I couldn't even afford to go to McDonald's 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:27.800
