1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Gott Shannon, and welcome a board. Glad you with us 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: our two Sean Hannity's show toll free. It's eight hundred 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: and ninety four to one, Shawn, if you want to 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. I know many are 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: as bewildered and frankly just discussed as I am, over 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: the fact that we have twenty two Republican senators that 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: voted for the Senate ninety five billion dollar emergency defense 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: spending bill. Of course, in the early morning, twenty two 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: Republicans joining the majority of the Senate Democrats to pass 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: the package final vote seventy twenty nine. And we'll go 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: over what's in this in more details we've been doing today. 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: The one good piece of news, if there is any, 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: is that Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, has 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: said in a statement that he released last night that 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: the bill would not be taken up in his chamber 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: and they have to continue to work on what conservatives 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: are seeing as a much bigger issue and a more 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: pertinent issue, which is my argument, which is we're not 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: even taking care of our own borders. We can't afford 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: this kind of money, and yet we have wide open 21 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: borders and we've seen the disaster that is our southern 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: border today. And anyway, joining us now is Senator Mike 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: Lee of Utah. He's been very outspoken about the bill. 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I guess the one thing that you can take out 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: of this is the fact that it's not going anywhere 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: in the House. And I give a lot of credit 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: to House Republicans for standing strong on this. We've got 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: this vote in District three in New York today with 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: Bazzi pill Up going up against Democrat and one hundred 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: percent Biden supporter Tom Swase. That's my old district when 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: I lived in New York. And anyway, Senator Lee, welcome back, 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: glad to have you. 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Sean. It's good to be with you 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: as always. 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: You know, the first question I have is whether this 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: supplemental includes this hidden impeachment clause because it expires in 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five into you know, the next presidency. Would 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: that then be a trap, if you will, for let's 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: say Donald Trump gets re elected, and would that be 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: a trap that if he dared to cut off spending, 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: that they would say, okay, now we're going to impeach 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: you yet again. 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: You know, an a normal well shown before TDS had 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: fully set in. We wouldn't necessarily expect something like that 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: to happen, but this kind of language, when read against 46 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: the backdrop of the twenty twenty impeachment against Donald Trump, 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: could certainly open the door. Steck and my friend colleague 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: jd Vance, who's been an absolute hero in regard to 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: this legislation, circulated a memo yesterday making the case that 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: that's what it would do. And I think he makes 51 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: a compelling point. It's one of many reasons why I 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: applaud Speaker Jellison for heroically refusing to bring this up 53 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 2: and announcing it is dead on arrival. Like this thing 54 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 2: is bad across the board, but among its many other flags, 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: this thing, in just broad political terms, it unites Democrats, 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: sharply divides Republicans while advancing democratic priorities, and it does 57 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: so in a way that's really offensive to our voters, 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: to Republican voters, and to many who may not even 59 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: be Republicans but who nonetheless find this offensive. I don't 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: know why we're doing that, especially after the border security 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: provisions proved not to do what we needed them to do, 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: and we said those are insufficient all but four Republicans 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: voted against that package. Then immediately we gave up our leverage, 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: and our leverage was provided solely to the Democrats to 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: achieve these democratic priorities. This is not going to bode 66 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: well for Republicans in political terms, and it's not going 67 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: to bode well for the American people generally, regardless of 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: their political affiliation. 69 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Let me go back to this supplemental impeacement times they're 70 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: calling it. You know, President Trump has said that, you know, 71 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: if he became president again, then he'd bring an end 72 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: to this war, and he'd do it expeditiously. The bill 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: includes one point six billion in farm military aid in 74 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine thirteen point seven for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: These funds expire September thirtieth, twenty twenty five, nearly a 76 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: year into a possible second term of President Trump. 77 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: So my real question. 78 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: Here is these are the exact same, you know, accounts 79 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: that Trump was impeached for in December twenty nineteen, or 80 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: the very similar and every House Republican voted against the 81 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: impeachment resolution. 82 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: Is it? Is it an impeachment time bomb in your view? 83 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: I think it could easily become such But here's another 84 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: way of viewing it. Look, if the Democrats have the chance, 85 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: if they control the House of Representatives, they're going to 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: find it something on which to impeach. And we know 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: that because they did it twice within two years. 88 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: And this would be as easy. 89 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: And as convenient as likely an excuse for them to 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: go after that as possible. 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: And so, but how constitutional can that be when the 92 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: president is the commander in chief? And in terms of 93 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: past legislation, we know from budgetary bills that have been passed, 94 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: we know that usually you get your tax increase and 95 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: the spending cuts that are promised in any bill never happen. 96 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: You always get the amnesty or the you know, Republicans 97 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: acquiescing to some or capitulating this to some issue involving 98 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, but you never get the border security. So 99 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: it sounds to me like they want to tie the 100 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: hands of the next president. Maybe they're assuming that Joe 101 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Biden's really not up to the job, and that's their 102 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: insurance policy. 103 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: No, I think that's right, And none of us is 104 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: to say that constitutionally this checked out. None of us 105 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: needs to say that in constitutional terms, or parential terms, 106 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: common sense terms, any of this makes sense or that 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: it would be a valid basis for impeaching the president, 108 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: because it wouldn't be for about five different reasons. But nonetheless, 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: it appears that they're setting this one up. This is 110 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: an easter egg that they're planting, that they're hiding sort 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: of in plain sight, just knowing that they'll utilize it 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: if they can. It's one of many reasons why I'm 113 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: disappointed that as many of my colleagues in the Senate 114 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: that did it voted for it in order to unite 115 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: Democrats and divide Republicans and alien eight are based. But 116 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: here's the thing, though, shown as hard as they whipped 117 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: this thing, and as much as the military industrial complex 118 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 2: really moved aggressively on this one, I'm sort of sent 119 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: Republican leaderships. There's still a minority of Republicans in the 120 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: Senate who voted for it, and there still is a 121 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: Speaker of the House of Representatives and Republican Mike Johnson 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: from Louisiana, who is heroically saying it's dead our arrival. 123 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: So let's just hope and pray that holds, and let's 124 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: be grateful that as many Republicans as did voted against it. 125 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: This was still a minority position among Senate Republicans. It shouldn't, 126 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: in my opinion, have been something that any Republican was 127 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: willing to support simply because of the minute we did 128 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: that we lost our bardaining power. We struck this bargain. 129 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: We made a deal and agreement with each other. We 130 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: made a commitment to each other as Republican senators, to 131 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: our Republican allies in the House, and to Republican and 132 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: non Republican voters everywhere. No more money for Ukraine. Not 133 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: another dime to Ukraine, at least at a minimum until 134 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: such time as the border is secure and we were 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: going to I. 136 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: Think the two issues should be border and budget. Let 137 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: me ask you about your fellow Utah Senator Mitt Romney. 138 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: He said, it's the most important vote we'll ever takes 139 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: as US senators, and then added, if your position is 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: being cheered on by Russian President Vladimir Putin, it's time 141 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: to reconsider your position. We're not asking being asked to 142 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: send American troops into war only to help the Ukrainians 143 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: defend themselves, he said. In this post, he said if 144 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: we failed to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. 145 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: Ukraine is not the end. 146 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: It's a step, and letting Putin have his way with 147 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: Europe would jeopardize our security. I don't know that Putin 148 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: has plans to invade Poland or any other NATO country 149 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: at that point. That would obviously be a game changer. 150 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Ukraine is not part of NATO. But it almost made 151 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: It almost sounds to me like he's saying that, you know, well, 152 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: you've got to be like a Putin sycophant or a 153 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: trader almost if you if you don't support his position. 154 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: What the hell is that? 155 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, in the first place, it was certainly an 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: important vote. I don't know that it's your most important 157 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 2: vote that someone will cast in their entire career. I've 158 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: grave doubts about that. But grant him that it's an 159 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: important vote. Only I think it cuts the other way. 160 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: It cuts the exact opposite way. This was an opportunity 161 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: for us to force the issue of border security on 162 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: an otherwise unwilling administration. With now lost, Who's an opportunity 163 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 2: to show the American people that will stand with them, 164 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: an opportunity to show the American people that by voting 165 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: no on this bill of Ukraine, that didn't secure our 166 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: own border, and that spent way too much money on 167 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: priorities that are not ours. By voting no on that bill, 168 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: we demonstrated to families, to schools, the governors, to mayors, 169 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: the city councils, We're willing to stand with them. We're 170 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: willing to defend the rule of law. We're willing to 171 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: defend civil society and effectively operating communities rather than supporting 172 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: international drug cartels, rather than siding with other nations, and 173 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: with siding with the military industrial complex in this country. 174 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Let me tell you it's a matter of prioritizing, and 175 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: this isn't about you know, I'm very sympathetic towards what 176 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: has happened in Ukraine. Putin is a dictator, he is 177 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: a thug, and he's a murderer. You're not going to 178 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: any argument for me. And I think the people of 179 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: Ukraine have fought valiantly and courageously to defend their country, 180 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: and I think, frankly, they've outperformed everybody's expectations. However, is 181 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: now with the massive amounts of hundreds of billions of 182 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: dollars a taxpayer money, It's almost like this thing has 183 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: become a proxy battle between Russia and the United States, 184 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: as without our funding, I don't think they would be 185 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: as successful. And the reality is this is another continent. 186 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: This is called Europe, and I don't think Europe has 187 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: done enough to step up and pay their fair share. 188 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Number One, I don't like from the get go that 189 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has basically tied the hands of the Ukrainians 190 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: by saying, well, you can't have the MiGs that Poland 191 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: is offering you, nor can you use cluster bombs or 192 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: this type of bomb. And I'm like, you're really going 193 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: to try and micro manage a war that they're trying 194 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: to win, because all you're doing is creating a scenario 195 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: under which a best case scenario would be a draw, 196 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: a tie, you know, a war in perpetuity. So you know, 197 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: those are things that I think would need to be 198 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: addressed before any more money would ever go to Ukraine. No, 199 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: and financial corruption. I should have added that, I. 200 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: Frankly find it a lazy, irresponsible slur on anyone who 201 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: expresses doubts about more usaid to Ukraine. For anyone to 202 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: attack anyone who expresses skepticism about this bill, Well, when 203 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: we have set one hundred and thirteen billion dollars already 204 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: to Ukraine, more than any other nation on Earth, more 205 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: military aid than every other nation on Earth combined. 206 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 5: Say that anyone who opposes that bill or has doubts 207 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 5: about it is somehow an accomplished with Vladimir Putin is 208 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 5: sympathetic to Russian aggression. That's just that is a lazy. 209 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: False accusation and is way way overused, and it shows 210 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: the lack of creativity on the part of those who 211 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: insist on this. While what we are doing is we're 212 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: perpetuating an endless war. It doesn't help the Ukrainian people 213 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: to help prolong this war, and the more we backfill 214 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: their economy. This bill contains eight billion dollars or so 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: to pay, among other things, the salaries of Yolensky's bureaucrats, 216 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: and to backfill the Ukrainian social welfare system, and to 217 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: buy concert tickets to Ukrainian concert goers and things like that. 218 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: The more we do such things, to say nothing of 219 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: the tens of billions of dollars in weapons that are 220 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: involved in this bill related to Ukraine. To do all 221 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: of that quite arguably prolongs this war by for selling 222 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: the need for and the desire for a broker settlement, 223 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: which is what needs to happen there in order to 224 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 2: bring peace to Ukraine. 225 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: All right, quick Break will continue more with Senator Mike 226 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: Leay of Utah eight hundred and nine point one shown 227 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: on number.

I know what worker productivity means, 339 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 8: and that means that you have to make sure that 340 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 8: your employees are taken care of and have a living wage. 341 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 3: And so just do the math. 342 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 4: Just do the math. 343 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 8: Of course, we have national minimum wages that we need 344 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 8: to raise to a living wage. You're talking about twenty 345 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 8: five dollars. Fine, but I have got to be focused 346 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 8: on what California needs and what the affordability factor is 347 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 8: when we calculate this wage. 348 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 3: I mean unbelievable. 349 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: It'll drive all of these businesses and with that job 350 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: opportunities for young people. By the way, what a great 351 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: first job for somebody to work at McDonald's. I think 352 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity. What a great I started as dishwasher, 353 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: and I did it and at twelve and thirteen. 354 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 3: At twelve I loved. 355 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: At thirteen when they let me, you know, cook, and 356 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: I learned how to cook fetachini alfredo and shrimp scampy 357 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: and stuff lobster and steaks and burgers and fries and 358 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: have the intensity and the pressure of getting that food 359 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: out cooked properly on time. I loved it, absolutely loved it. 360 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: And that's going to take those jobs. And basically they're 361 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: going to go away, and all of these places will 362 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: will probably have to close down. The profit margins are 363 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: not that big. I can't tell you how many times 364 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: I've been approached by people. Linda, you know this is 365 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: a fact, to be a partner in a restaurant of 366 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: some kind. 367 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: We'll call it Hannity's Pub. 368 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, we won't because the restaurant business is 369 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: extraordinarily competitive and difficult, and the margins are tiny unless 370 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: you open up a big steakhouse. Most of the most 371 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: of the money that is made in restaurants is on booze. 372 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: When you have fast food restaurants, it's all got to 373 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: be made on food, and the margins are tiny, and 374 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: they're very tiny, and you got to watch all your waist, 375 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: et cetera. 376 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 3: I have friends of mine in Tampa. 377 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: By the way, if you ever get a chance to 378 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: go to chicken Salad Chick, they call it, I mean, 379 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: the best chicken salad I ever had. I talked to 380 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: my buddy, he owns a number of these stores, and 381 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I'm I'm literally grinding out fourteen hundred 382 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: pounds of steamed chicken tenderloin a day, and then they've 383 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: got to watch out for wasst they got to make 384 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: sure that they don't overcook on a particular day. It's 385 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: very complicated because their profit margin is all tied to it. 386 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying to underpay people, especially your top people. 387 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Linda is not overpaid or underpaid. I think 388 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: she's paid appropriately. 389 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 3: Why you? 390 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 4: Why you? 391 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 6: I mean you listen, you know, I feel very strongly 392 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 6: this This woman is one of these individuals that has 393 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 6: spent her life being divisive. Everything about her is a 394 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 6: woke ideology. She's all about, you know, identifying people by 395 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 6: all of these various whether it's their sexual preference, their 396 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 6: gender ideology, the color of their skin, the fact that 397 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 6: they're a woman or a man. Everything on her website 398 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 6: about her when she was a congressman, when she is 399 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 6: now running for senate, and you know, she ran a 400 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 6: business in nineteen eighty seven, and so I hate to 401 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 6: tell her this, but things have changed ever so slightly, 402 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 6: you know, in those last thirty years. And I don't 403 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 6: know if she's asleep at the switch, if she doesn't 404 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: care anymore because she's been in government for too long. 405 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 6: I'm not really sure. But to say that you want 406 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 6: to pay anybody fifty dollars an hour for minimum wage 407 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 6: is absolutely absurd. And why would anybody ever leave those 408 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 6: jobs and give other younger people the chance to learn 409 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 6: a work ethic. I mean, that's the biggest problem we 410 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 6: have right now, is we're just an entitlement handout society. 411 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 6: It's pathetic, and she's just going to further the issue. 412 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: I really worry, especially about your son, Liam. Once I 413 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: introduced them to McDonald's fries and a happy meal, you know, 414 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: thank god he realized that this life after Mom's air 415 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: fried French fries, and there's actually better tasting fries out there, 416 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: as he admitted. 417 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 6: On this, But think about it, Sean, I mean. 418 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 3: You don't want to you don't want to address that. 419 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 6: I'm just gonna skip right over that joke.

And that's 440 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 6: it because I believe because they're Christians and they have Sunday, 441 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 6: they close on Sunday, and they have a mantra about 442 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 6: the business being run by the people who actually own 443 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 6: the franchise, and I just I like. 444 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: The way that they do things.

But yet nobody in the media anywhere. Oh, 463 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 4: he's got dementia? Is that new news? That's old news. 464 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: Ninety percent of the country sees the shape he's in 465 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 4: and what are we talking about? Man? 466 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's news in this sense. 467 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't remember the years he was vice president, 468 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: regarding when they brought up two thousand and nine and 469 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: his question was was I still vice president? 470 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 4: Then? 471 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: That's the year he became vice president.

What would Joe Biden 481 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 4: be told that your memory's going or you're going to 482 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 4: jail with cuss on you for the documents?

But I don't 496 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: think it's an act. In Joe's case, it's too It's sad, 497 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: but it's also dangerous. 498 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, how do you understand it? 499 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: Break? 500 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: You're breaking up on me here.

I 508 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: just haven't been a full time domiciled resident, homesteaded resident 509 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: of Florida until now. 510 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 9: Oh, wonderful, wonderful. No, I just wanted to make a comment. 511 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 9: I see the press and I think we're all failing 512 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 9: for this. They're feigning all this outrage saying that he's competent, 513 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 9: that he's competent. Well, let's let's let's talk about this 514 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 9: a second. If he's deemed to be incompetent or his 515 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 9: memory failing and whatnot. With this Robert Herr report, what 516 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 9: they have established is the fact that he indeed is 517 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 9: guilty of the crimes. There's no doubt that he's guilty. 518 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 9: Now my question is, don't get sidetracked with this shiny 519 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 9: object that they want us to look at or it 520 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 9: be's competent. Now the question is was he competent? 521 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 4: Then? 522 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 9: Was it premeditated? Then when he committed the crime? 523 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: He raised a great point because I think he was 524 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: fully aware of his actions and what he was doing, 525 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: and the fact that he lied so flagrantly about it. 526 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny the James Sweet Baby James hit 527 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: me with a oh, some articles some leftist organization, you know, 528 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: trying to say Sean Hannity's made up story about Joe 529 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: Biden and the Biden family syndicate. I'm like, none of 530 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: it's made up. And in the course of reading it, 531 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm laughing. I'm like, Yeah, you're finally beginning to get it, 532 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: although you're just denying the truth and the reality of 533 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: what evidence exists out there. And it's pretty overwhelming at 534 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: this point. Let's see if they can pull it all together. 535 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, and how about the fact that it be's not 536 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 9: competent now only cow he's got the guy. 537 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: Let me sew it up five more years, God help 538 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: us all. He's not up to the job period. End 539 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: of sentence. He couldn't work at a McDonald's. I don't 540 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: think he could work at a McDonald's. But anyway, we 541 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: appreciate you, Mike, Thank you, my friend. All right, quick breaks, 542 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: straight back to the phones, our toll free numbers, eight 543 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one.

The Free State of Texas. Sarah Next, 548 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. 549 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 10: Hi, Hi, nice talking to you, Sean. 550 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 3: Great to talk to you. What's going on. 551 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 10: I want to talk about us holding our Congress to 552 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 10: the fire to get that single rule passed about the bills, 553 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 10: the single I think of the name here, Shingle Subject Amendment. 554 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 10: If we could get that pass, we could keep them 555 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 10: from adding so much pork and so forth to our 556 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 10: bills and actually get legislation passed. That's, you know, something 557 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 10: people want. 558 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: Listen. 559 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: I would like single issue bills passed all the time. 560 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 1: And what's so egregious about this? And let me tell 561 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: you this, no greater hawk than Lindsey Graham. Lindsay Graham 562 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: probably has been to Israel and Ukraine more than any 563 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: other senator combined, all those other senators combined. And however, 564 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: he recognizes what we all recognize, and that is no, 565 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: when we're not going to aid other countries without securing 566 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: our own country. It is the biggest national security risk 567 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: by Joe Biden allowing ten million unvetted illegal immigrants into 568 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: our country. It is a recipe for an unmitigated disaster. 569 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: It's called terrorism, and it's not if it's when. And 570 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: I pray to God I'm wrong. I don't think I'm wrong, Sarah. 571 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 10: I don't think you're wrong either. I'm tired of us 572 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 10: having to give money we don't have to a bunch 573 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 10: of other countries that are out to kill us. 574 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: Uh, well, a lot of them are now. In the 575 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: case of Israel, Israel's mostly looking. They just want to 576 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: buy our weaponry so they can win their war against 577 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: Hamas in the south and Lebanon in the north and 578 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: literally preserve the state of Israel. They're in a fight 579 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: for their survival, but they're not asking much from us. 580 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: The amount of money going to Ukraine versus Israel is 581 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: almost insignificant, and I'd like to see that happen, but 582 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: not until they take care of our borders and our budget. 583 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: Those are my criteria. Take care of your own country first, 584 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: secure your own borders first, eliminate national security threats here first, 585 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: and frankly, any security bill ought to be cut with 586 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: a deportation order for people that didn't respect our laws, 587 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: our borders, and our sovereignty. And I don't think we 588 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: could probably not going to be able to find them.
