1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: All right, this is Jeffrey Lord filling in for our

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: friend Sean Hannity. And our phone number here is eight

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one seven three two six or eight

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: hundred ninety four to one Sean. So let's, uh, let's

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: spend a little time on the phones here. And what

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: I see up here is our friend Claire from Florida.

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: And Claire, why don't you tell us a little bit

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: about why you called?

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm a lifetime Republican and I could rattle

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: off all the names to prove that, but so I

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: am a Republican.

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: Hi.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: I think that Biden pardoning Hunter was the right thing

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: to do as a father. That's his responsibility. If Biden

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: had not pardoned Hunter, he would be castigated about it

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: for the rest of his life. Now. I hope people

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: will call in and discuss that with you. But that's

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: my opinion. I'm not improving. I don't approve of Biden,

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: but I approve of pardoning his son because he is

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: the father.

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you might it might surprise you, Claire,

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: but I tend to agree with you on that. I

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: just think that I think there's so much more and

24
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I think we will find out as we move away

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: from the Biden era that memoirs will come out and

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: investigative reports will come out. I think we will learn

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot that is not very favorable to the Biden family,

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: or as they've been mimicked, to the Biden crime family.

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I think that is important to get to. But I

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: think in this situation and remembering in terms of family history,

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: I was not to date myself, but I was in

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: college when Joe Biden was elected to the United States Senator.

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: He was twenty nine years old, soon to turn the

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: required age of thirty, and this to be elected a

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: United States Senator was a big deal. And within a

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: matter of weeks after that, there was a car accident

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: that killed his wife and little girl, and I think

38
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: injured Hunter and brother bo and I suspect. And then then,

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of course, a number of years later, Bo draw passes

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: away from cancer. I think, if you're the father in

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: that situation, that's enough, and you wanted Hunter has I

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: think unquestionably made a mess of things. That's his problem.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: He'll have to He'll have the rest of his life

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to get his acting gear. But I do think that

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that Joe Biden could have done or

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: would have done anything else, and so you know, on

47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: we go and I and I think just in terms

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: of the bidens in general, I think now the time

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: is here to move on, to move forward. And having

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: studied presidents enough from you know, George Washington on and

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: having worked for a president, I worked for President Reagan,

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: what happens is the men their successor is elected. It's

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of it sounds kind of harsh, but wow, people

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: just turn their attention from that person who had been

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: president and turn it to who the new guy is.

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: So I think that process has already started. I think

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: you saw it at the international level, as I was

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: saying earlier when President Trump President elect Trump went to

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: France to celebrate the Notre Dame source. So okay, Claire, well, Claire,

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I think that was a good

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: thing to get cleared up here. I need to turn now,

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: want to turn now to my old friend mattch Slap

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: of the American Conservative Union. Hello there, Matthew, how are

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: you hey?

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: Jeffrey, Merry Christmas.

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah and all the rest. Yeah,

67
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I think it's great, Yes.

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: It is.

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Indeed, it is indeed, and I was sort of wondering,

70
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: what's your take now that you know twenty twenty four

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: is behind us, twenty twenty five is beginning to take shape. Matt,

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: for those who are unaware, is also the head along

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: with wife Mercy. And by the way, Matt, something some

74
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: little bird told me there was something going on with

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: missus Schlapp today. I don't know what that might be.

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: She got a little bit older today, just a little bit.

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: Uh oh, that means she's finally eighteen. Well, that's that's good.

78
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: That's good. Well, I think that you know, Sea Pack

79
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: and the Conservative Union and all this, we have our

80
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: work cut out for us, and it's going to be

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: very interesting to see as we move into twenty twenty

82
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: five and presumably the next four years. What's your take

83
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: on what lies ahead for us?

84
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I have to say DETI thinks

85
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: and gratitude to you, Jeffrey, because you saw what was

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: going on in the country. You were a Reagan guy.

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 4: I was a push guy, and you saw what was

88
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: going on with Donald Trump and you were with him

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: early and you stuck by him. I'm very proud of

90
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: SEAPAC no matter what happened. We stuck by Trump. We

91
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: put him on our stage in Orlando, Florida when they

92
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: closed this down in Washington, DC. Yes, and we put

93
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: Donald Trump on the stage about fifty days after January sixth,

94
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 4: and you know, caused the controversy at the board. Some

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: of our people said, you can't invite Donald Trump after

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: j six and I said, no way, He's going to

97
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: be on our stage. He's our president. And you guys

98
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: have J six all wrong. And so now we're to

99
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: today after all of that, and all I can say is,

100
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a more important year than

101
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, and probably I don't know the last

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: eighty years. This is a big one.

103
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I think that's absolutely right. I think it's absolutely right.

104
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of things that can gonna happen here.

105
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: And I'm led to believe that Mercedes is on the line.

106
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Is that true?

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: Do we have mercy?

108
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: I hope they're telling me that she just vanished. Don't

109
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: you love twenty first century technology?

110
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 4: Man, end the phone over to her when you're ready

111
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: for her. Here's my take on this year.

112
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you.

113
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: We've got this first year of her presidency is awfully important.

114
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: It's critical we have these small majorities in the House

115
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: and Senate, and and for those of us who are

116
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: insiders and know too much, it's easy to get discouraged.

117
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: But for everyone else who's just rooting Trump on, I

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 4: think the key is is we got to keep these

119
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: congressional Republicans, the Senate Republicans on the Trump train. They

120
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: got to get a plan on this budget. I read

121
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: lots of theories and talk to a lot of people

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: that have different theories about what they can do on

123
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: the budget. But I'd just want them to get on

124
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: the same page on the budget, between Speaker Johnson and

125
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: John Food and the President and his team. And my

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: advice to them would be keep it simple stupid. Not

127
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: that any of them are stupid, but you know, Republicans

128
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: have a hard time sticking together, and in this case,

129
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: I think if they try for one budget resolution, get

130
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: the taxes in there, get all the border stuff you

131
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: need in there, at a few other policies that we

132
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: all are on board, get one done, and don't be

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: too worried about how fast you do it, and then

134
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: let's see how much time we have left on the

135
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: clock to do a second one.

136
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.

137
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: You know.

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: One of the things that I remember vividly when I

139
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: was starting out my career in Washington, I was working

140
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: for Congressman Budd Schuster from Pennsylvania. Oh yeah, legendary, legendary indeed.

141
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: And while he was particularly famous for serving as later

142
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: as Chair of the House Public Works and Transportation Committee

143
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: as was then called, he also served on the House

144
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Budget Committee and as his legislative director. And I was

145
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: assigned to, you know, do the staff work and go

146
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: to all these budget committee meetings and read the federal budget, which,

147
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: as you know, was thousands of pages and all of

148
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: this kind of thing.

149
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you could do it back then. I don't

150
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: think you could today.

151
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's about right.

152
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Well.

153
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: One of the things that I learned which sort of

154
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: took me aback, and I have remembered this, oh is

155
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: is it wasn't just liberal Democrats on the committee who

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: were putting stuff in this budget. It was Republicans. And

157
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, my goodness, what you know, what what

158
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: is going on here? And you know, all these years later,

159
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: I can see why so many Americans who sort of

160
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: caught on to how this works, are making complaints about

161
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: the so called uniparty and that kind of thing. What

162
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that?

163
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will tell you the birthday girl has joined us.

164
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: Ah Mercy is here, and I'll give you a quick

165
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: answer because I know you're gonna want to talk to her.

166
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: But my view is this, which is it's a pox

167
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: on both their houses. They are both parties, both major

168
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: parties are responsible for outrageous decision making around the budget.

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: Most Republican presidents haven't helped the matter.

170
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the.

171
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: Problem is when Reagan was president and we actually had

172
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: budget fights closed down the government or the government was closed,

173
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: as you'd say, and then Nuke Ingridge tried to do

174
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: the same thing. When we got the majority in the

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: House for the first time in foury or whatever years,

176
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: it was the the and the Republicans over corrected. They thought,

177
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: oh my god, we lost the shutdown fight with Bill Clinton,

178
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: We'll never win a budget fight again. We might as

179
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 4: well just join them on the spending front, with our

180
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: Republican pork joining the Democratic pork. And it's resulted in

181
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: a very precarious financial situation for America, which means the

182
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: free world is in a very precarious position, and I

183
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 4: really applaud those Republicans who were saying, look, enough is enough.

184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: We've got to kind of rein in the spending. And

185
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: it's not just the CRS. This is like a little

186
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: fraction of the budget. You know, when you were working

187
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: on the Hill, that was a big part of the budget.

188
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 4: Now it's a tiny little part because we've put almost

189
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: all the government on autopilot with the mandatory spending, which

190
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: is kind of a made up title, and we've got

191
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: to get into all that spending. You know, I don't

192
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: know if President Trump wants this to be a focus

193
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: of his but the fact is we don't have much

194
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: time left, and Republicans better starting like the Reagan Republicans.

195
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Marcy, what are your thoughts on where on where

196
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: President Trump goes with all of this that we're coming

197
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: along with.

198
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, Look, I think it's very important for President

199
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 5: Trump to remain the top. How can I say, spokesperson

200
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 5: leader of talking about these budget fights. I think that

201
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 5: you know, of course Elon and they have an important role.

202
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: They're leading the DOGE efforts, but you know, they really

203
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: have never worked in Washington the day and I think

204
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 5: it's important for them to understand that they will have

205
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: to work closely with the Office of Management and Budget

206
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: and uh and figure out, you know, yes, strip out,

207
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: take out all these DEI initiatives throughout all of the government,

208
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 5: figure out where this all this misspending is happening. I mean,

209
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 5: you're talking about that the Pentagon couldn't even you know,

210
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: they failed their audits seven times. You know, there there

211
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 5: needs to be major fixes in the government. With that

212
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: being said, Uh, you know, I do think that the

213
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: that the American people are expecting tax cuts, they're expecting

214
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 5: tax cuts quickly, and I think that has to be

215
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: the top priority in addition to securing the border and

216
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 5: making sure that if they move forward with this sort

217
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 5: of deportation plan, that it's not going to be come

218
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 5: into a you know, public relations fiasco, but really hone

219
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 5: in on these criminal aliens. So I think that there

220
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: that is where the top priority has to be. I

221
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 5: do think that, you know, I've been watching uh, you

222
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 5: know X yesterday and today, and I see the Veke

223
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 5: commenting about you know, the immigration visas and and and

224
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: elon as well, and I'm like, dude, guys, stay out

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: of immigration, stay in your lane. Focus on cutting the government.

226
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: Don't get off message because at the end of the day,

227
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: it is President Trump, it is President Trump's agenda, and

228
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: we all just have we have to support him to

229
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 5: make sure that his agenda gets accomplished. And he's going

230
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 5: to have a very short window because as you know this, Jeffrey,

231
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 5: that your political capital, you start losing it after a

232
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: year or two, right. Uh, And and he's got to

233
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: move quickly.

234
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: Uh.

235
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Just as a matter of curiosity, are Elon and k

236
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: are they coming? Have they especially any interest in coming

237
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: to Sea pac.

238
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: We have and Eve has been uh, you know, he's

239
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: come very regularly last couple of seapacks.

240
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

241
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 4: So when we've actually worked really closely with and uh,

242
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: I don't have a relationship with Elon musk As then

243
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: Mercy and I had a wonderful conversation with him in

244
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: marrow Ago a few weeks ago when we had the

245
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: event down there. And we've talked with some of these

246
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: people and they say he wants to come, and we

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: of course love to have him. But you know, our

248
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: focus is two things. Number one, what's the best way

249
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: to use ce Pack to push the Trump agenda? And

250
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: we'll be right in the middle of the first one

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: hundred days when SEPAC starts in February and Washington DC,

252
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: so like it's almost like the midterms, right, Like, how

253
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: are we doing so far? How many cabin secretaries have

254
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: been confirmed? Where are we on this agenda? How many

255
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 4: of these day one executive orders are being fought out

256
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: in courtrooms, which I think one hundred percent will sadly, so,

257
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: I think we have to use spack to leverage all

258
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: the people around the country who are so excited that

259
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 4: Trump won. But the second thing CEPAC has to do, Jeffrey,

260
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: is what it's done really well in the last few years.

261
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: We've broad in this effort. People say, big ten, I

262
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 4: don't really love that analogy, but we've expanded this coalition.

263
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: We are the first people to invite Tulfa Gabbert, We

264
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: were the first people to invite Donald Trump. We were

265
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: the first people to invite Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Like

266
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: when these new voices popped up on one issue area,

267
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: we didn't say, oh, you can't join our club because

268
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: you don't agree with us on everything. We said, hey,

269
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: why don't you come over to our club. We'd like

270
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: to hear your thoughts. And it's a great ride. As

271
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: we expand this coalition, it's less about parties. Now.

272
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right, and I think alas we're

273
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: running out of time here, but I do think that

274
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: the parties have switch positions, if you will. I think

275
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: the Republican Party is the party of working class Americans,

276
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: working Americans, and I think that's a good thing. That's

277
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: a good thing. I think this started with President Reagan,

278
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: and President Trump has taken it to the max. So well,

279
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Matt Mercy, thank you very much. I will make plans

280
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: to see you at sea pack and happy birthday.

00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: There to the missus Mary Christmas.

Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, and happy New Year. Right, okay, thank you

291
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 6: Hey, Jeffrey, how you doing.

292
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, and you happy New Year.

293
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 6: You know, and all the rest, Yes, sir, I'm enjoying

294
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: the time off. My comment is I've been following politics

295
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 6: and you know, listen to talk radio for many, many,

296
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: many years, and about fifteen years ago I started. I'm

297
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 6: an independent voter. I'm not a member of any party,

298
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: but I do vote. I use common sense. I back Trump.

299
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 6: And what I don't understand is about fifteen years ago

300
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: I looked at everything and I said, you know what,

301
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 6: the behavior of these Democrats, they're just like organized crime.

302
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 6: And I felt and it's not meant to be an attack.

303
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 6: It's not meant to, you know, be name calling, except

304
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 6: it it aptly identifies what we're up against. And if

305
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 6: you if you look at the traits of organized crime

306
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: such as tax evasion, which Hunter Biden does, uh or

307
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 6: and you're on people are on the take. We're always

308
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 6: finding and I'm not saying Republicans or you know that

309
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 6: avoid any of this. But the con men, you know,

310
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: the term con men comes from confidence men the people

311
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 6: that can go out and right.

312
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: We fool you.

313
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: So I what I'm saying here is I think the

314
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: media commentators that are trying to be as truthfuls as

315
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 6: they can really It's like when Trump got that got

316
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 6: the term fake news to stick. I think we should

317
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 6: try to get the term organized crime to stick whenever

318
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 6: we're talking about either deep state.

319
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you, you know, I don't know whether

320
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: the organized crime thing will fit or not, but I

321
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: think you're onto something. And I was thinking about this,

322
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: and I'm of an age that I remember vividly as

323
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: a child. My parents were very active in Republican politics

324
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: and Massachusetts, so they were always very interested in what

325
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: was going on, and together we watched in January of

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one, I was in the fourth grade, Hello

327
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: President Kennedy being sworn in and giving us inaugural address,

328
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: which was very memorable. The phrase that's stuck asked, not

329
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: what you can do what your country can do for you,

330
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: ask what you can do for your country. And I know,

331
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: without question, and I was one of them. It inspired

332
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: young people to get into politics. Now that said, I

333
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: think that the problem eventually became that young people who

334
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: were doing this, that's all they were going to do,

335
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: and it was a limited experience. Looking back, they didn't say, well,

336
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to go build a business, or I'm going

337
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: to do this or I'm going to do that that

338
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with politics. They just stuck with

339
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: politics all the time, and this is what encouraged I

340
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: think a lot of you know, or fair share of

341
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: elected officials. It's just, you know, that's all they do

342
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think over time that that

343
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: is not a good situation here for them or for

344
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: the country. I think that they get so wrapped up

345
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: in this. I think Joe Biden, frankly, is a perfect

346
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: example of this. He was twenty nine years old when

347
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: he was elected to the United States Senate and makes

348
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: what I don't know whether it's one hundred and fifty

349
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: or two hundred thousand dollars something as a United States senator.

350
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: How in the world to afford multimillion dollar houses and

351
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: all of this kind of thing. Well, he affords it

352
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: because he so go the allegations he was the big

353
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: guy peddling you know, political influence in return for money

354
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: in Ukraine and these other places. I don't think that

355
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is alone. He may be a standalone in

356
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: terms of the size and the amount and the offices

357
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: he held, but I'm willing to bet you could find

358
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: people in public office alas unfortunately at much lower levels

359
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: of government, a local or state, who were doing some

360
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: version of the same thing. And that's where I think

361
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: this has gotten off the rails here.

362
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to be you know what that said.

363
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: You have to come from an honest foundation. I've worked

364
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 6: for major corporations, I've lived overseas in the Middle East,

365
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 6: I've worked with high I was not in a military,

366
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 6: but I worked on big dollar Middle Eastern in the

367
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 6: private corporations and I saw I would I dealt directly

368
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 6: with corporate officers that were less than honest. They were lying,

369
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 6: and I knew it. I couldn't say anything at the

370
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 6: time because I didn't have the power. But the corruption

371
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 6: and people's people are too dishonest. Everybody's got to look

372
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: into the soul mirror and you know, make sure that

373
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 6: you're doing.

374
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: The right thing.

375
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: Well, you have to be raised by parents who are

376
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: raising you with a sense of integrity. I think that's

377
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: that's number one, and sometimes I think that that sort

378
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: of falls down and that is definitely not a good thing.

379
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: So well, John, thank you very much for calling. Let

380
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: let me see do we have some time here. I

381
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: think we're going to move on to Josh in Minnesota.

382
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to Sean Hannity Show.

383
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: Thanks taking the call.

384
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, So what do you want to talk about, Josh?

385
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: Well, first, I was going to talk about Biden, but

386
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: they need to start talking about this shift in the

387
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: in the political parties. And you know, I grew up

388
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: in northwest Minnesota. My grandmother was a DFL delicate but

389
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: was also a strong believer in pro life wow. And

390
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 3: my grand my grandfather was a brick layer president of

391
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: the brick Layers Union. And I grew up in this area.

392
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: You know, we were strong Democrats, and our state representative

393
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: was a Democrat, and and we had Colin Peterson from

394
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: this area going to Washington, and it all shifted about

395
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: I don't remember exactly what time, but about you know,

396
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: the Obama administration. You know, those representatives kind of retired

397
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 3: and since then, this whole area has voted Republican. And

398
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: you know, we said shell fishbock to Washington and we've

399
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: got a Republican local rep. And it's just, you know,

400
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: we grew up with those values that you know, I'm

401
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: a veteran and you grew up with loving your country

402
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: and just kind of you know, middle moderate conservative type

403
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: values and what was once. You know, what my grandmother

404
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: would have sported as a DFL delegate would have been

405
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 3: more Republican views. Now yeah, no, And as a fifty

406
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: year old white male, I almost feel like a minority now.

407
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: And I'm really scared for my kids the way, you know,

408
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 3: the state of the political parties in the country have

409
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: taken over.

410
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: You know, well, I noticed it says here that you

411
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: were you were appalled that Biden was making false comments

412
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: on his way out of office, And.

413
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, saying that, you know, he wholeheartedly believes he left

414
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: the country in a better states right he took over,

415
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: is just absurd.

416
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you something about President Biden. I personally

417
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: have long since come to the belief that he's just

418
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of sloppy about what he does and boasting when

419
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: he does that. And I had a personal experience in

420
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: the longe ago. When I was a kid, a teenager,

421
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: I was a big Bobby Kennedy fan. This would be

422
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the father of the current RFK junior And when he

423
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: died it was tragedy. They put out these long playing records.

424
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: I was in high school. I bought the records and

425
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: memorized his speeches. Now, that's nineteen sixty eight. In nineteen

426
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: September of nineteen eighty seven, I was working in the

427
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: White House for President Reagan as a political director, and

428
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had just finished chairing the sort of disgraceful

429
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: Robert Bork hearings for the Supreme Court, really not doing

430
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: a good job of it. But he was also running

431
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: for president, and he got caught by Governor Michael Ducacus,

432
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: his Democrat opponent, plagiarizing from the British Labor Party leader.

433
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: His name was Neil Kinnick, and the campaign said, oh,

434
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: was misake or whatever, he didn't do this that kind

435
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: of thing. Well, I knew differently, and the reason was

436
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: that back in February of that year, we'd had a

437
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: big snowstorm in Washington, and Washington is terrible in snowstorms.

438
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: Everything shuts down. I live relatively nearby, so I walked

439
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: to my office in the White House totally alone in there,

440
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: nothing going on, the phone isn't ringing, So I thought, well,

441
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: I'll see what's on c SPAN, since you know, I

442
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: can't do anything, And there was Joe Biden giving a

443
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: speech to the California Democratic Convention, and I thought, well,

444
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: that's interesting. He's supposed to be a good speaker. I'll listen.

445
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: I listened, and what did I find. I was getting

446
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: to the end of his sentences before he was. And

447
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: why was that? Because he was plagiarizing from Robert Kennedy,

448
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: and I, you know, had the presence of mind to

449
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: pick up. I called a reporter at the New York Times,

450
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Maureen Dowd by name, and brought over my records, lung

451
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: playing records to the New York Times, and within a

452
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: matter of days there was a front page story about

453
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: questions being raised by his speeches and quoted, among others,

454
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: my much younger self and all this kind of thing.

455
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: But I just was I was amazed. I thought, how

456
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: can anybody think? I mean, Robert F. Kennedy Senior was

457
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: one of the most famous people on the planet at

458
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: that point, now deceased twenty years by by the time

459
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: this incident happened. But still in all, you know, I'm

460
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: here in New York and I go best signs for

461
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: the RFK Bridge. The Justice Department in Washington is named

462
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: after Bobby Kennedy. So to think that you could sort of,

463
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, take something from him and nobody would notice

464
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: I thought was just you know, wow, yeah, but typical.

465
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it just sloppy in terms of

466
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: how this how he sort of operates here, and I

467
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: think I think we're paying a price Afghanistan, that kind

468
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: of thing.

469
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I grew up listening to Paul Harvey of

470
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 3: the radio.

471
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you know, you know.

472
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: Eithers don't have shows like that anymore. Anyways, We've got

473
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: family members that are far right, and I got family

474
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: members that are I just kind of keep my mouth set.

475
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 3: You know. I believe in I believe in Trump's policies,

476
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: but sometimes I wish you'd just stay off Twitter.

477
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, that's a modern thing, and I don't

478
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: think that's ever going to go away, whether it's Trump

479
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: or anybody else. I think that, uh great, you know,

480
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: this is this is ingrained. You know, I remember reading

481
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: historically that I think it was nineteen twenty that there

482
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: was the first radio broadcast of a national political convention,

483
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: because radio was itself brand new, and you know, over

484
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: time this the technology changes, and then we got to

485
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: television and you had that famous nineteen sixty television debate

486
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: with Kennedy and Nixon, and the question became how to

487
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: use makeup and all this kind of thing because Kennedy

488
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: took the makeup Nixon didn't, and people thought that those

489
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: who watched on television thought Nixon lost, and those who

490
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: listened to it on the radio thirty one. But my

491
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: point is the technology changes, and we are in the

492
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: twenty first century, so buckle in. It's more or less

493
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: what we've got to do here.

494
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: Long for the old bees.

495
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, things were much simpler in those days now,

496
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: and I always am sort of, you know, simultaneously horrified

497
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: and amused. You see somebody who commits a crime and

498
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: they have no recognition that there are cameras all over

499
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: the place like this knit with who killed the healthcare executives.

500
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: So well, Josh, thank you very much for calling. And

Speaker 1: seven three two six and we'll be back. All right.

504
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: This is Jeffrey Lord in for our friend Sean Hannity,

505
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: and uh we are going to uh be reached here

506
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: at eight hundred and nine four one seven three two six.

507
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: And let's go to Greg in Iowa, who wants to

508
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about Hunter.

509
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 7: Good afternoon, sir, Good afternoon. So my point is with Hunter,

510
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 7: and I know it's a terrible deal, you know, especially

511
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 7: for his dad, even though it's you know, it's Joe Biden.

512
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 7: But if you love your child, discipline him.

513
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 6: If you your child.

514
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 7: Don't, and you know now that he's been given a

515
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 7: free pass, you know what, what's what's it going to

516
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 7: be like for the next ten years. I think we

517
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 7: all know what the outcome is going to be. You know,

518
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 7: he's gonna he's gonna end up in the in the

519
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 7: gutter again, and they'll probably you know, an unfortunate outcome

520
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 7: that comes along with that. But all that being said,

521
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 7: Biden had to pardon him to take all the legal

522
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 7: troubles off the plate, because if Hunter went to court,

523
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 7: Biden was going to end up in court.

524
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's I think that's a considerable situation there.

525
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: I think you're you're absolutely right that I mean the

526
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: infamous reference to the big guy ten percent for the

527
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: big guy who might that be? And I do think

528
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: that they were as long as Hunter was out there,

529
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: that they were in a position to find themselves very

530
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: much in trouble here. And so I think he's done

531
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: what he's done to you know, in part because it's Hunter.

532
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't have any doubt about this. And you're you're right,

533
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: he's he's walked away with excuses his whole life. And

534
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: you know the question is now, what is he fifty

535
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: years old something like that? Is he going to fifty eight?

536
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, get his actica there and change his uh

537
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: his operation here and and get us act together to

538
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: be decided. We will see. So, uh well, thank you

539
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,800
