1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Coming up next, our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: All Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour. Toll free 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 2: odd number is eight hundred and nine four one sean 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: if you want to be part of the program. 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 3: Well. 6 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: In keeping with spreading false lies and peddling conspiracy theories, 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 2: the left seems fixated on this notion, this idea that 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: the only reason Stephen Colbert got fired is because of 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. No, he got fired because his show sucks. 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: He's not funny. The audience attrition levels have been massive. 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: He is very, very low viewership. And the worst part 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: is he's losing forty to fifty million dollars a year. Now, 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: you don't survive in television. I will have completed thirty 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 2: years on the Fox News Channel as of October, assuming 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: I live that long, and I can tell you that 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 2: that's the formula, the way it's always been, the way 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: it always will be. He failed. Jimmy Kimmel similarly is failing. 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: He's on official cancelation watch. And that would go the 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: same for Jimmy Fallon, and that would go the same 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: for those that hard hitting news show. The view their 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: ratings are in the toilet. And I'm sure they're probably 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: losing money too. So that's what happens in television, like 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: it or not. Now, the question with Colbert is he 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: says that they came to a mutual agreement that his 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: last show will be in May of twenty six. 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: That's next year. 27 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: But if he keeps going out there night after night 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: after night, trashing the company that gives him a paycheck, 29 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: that's going to lose forty to fifty million dollars this year, 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 2: they may just cancel it sooner. I wouldn't be shocked 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: if it happen by next week. Listen to what you're 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: saying about his new bosses. 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: Wow, hold on, Plus, they're paying his legal fees. Sixteen 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 4: was twenty thirty. That means by bending the knee they 35 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: lost like forty mon million dollars this year. 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: They better watch out. They better watch out. They might 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: get canceled. 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 4: For purely financial reasons, purely the present owners, the president 39 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: owners are denying that additional twenty million. 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: Dollars, which I hope is true because could you. 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 4: Imagine how angry people would be? Last year, Paramount laid 42 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 4: off two thousand employees, then cut another several hundred just 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: last month, firing that many people, and then handing over 44 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 4: thirty six mil to a guy who's putting your neighbors 45 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: in alligator camps all because of a lawsuit that your 46 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: own lawyers said was completely without merit. If that's true, 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 4: it would make CBS look morally bankrupt, also. 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: Bankrupt anyway, joining us now, I have no idea why 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: I like this guy. I really don't, you know, on paper, 50 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: I shouldn't even like him at all. Firs Han of 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: the ever growing Chris hanshow now with a whopping fifteen 52 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: affiliates nationwide. He's the host of the Aggressive Progressive podcast. 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: You're still on radio stations? 54 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 5: Right? 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: How many stations know? 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're right. I'm fifteen or twenty 57 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: something like that, mostly in the Northeast. 58 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: But he's better known as a former aide who one 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: of the angriest people in Washington who if he got 60 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: primaried by AOC, would get clobbered. And that is a 61 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: Senate Minority leader Chucky Schumer. You know he'd get clapberd. Right, 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: you do understand that. We'll get to that in a minute. 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: So think hard about your answer. 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: We do, all right, take on that, I believe, So you. 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: Know So you've been a guest over the years many 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: times on this program, and you know that how TV 67 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: and radio works. 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: You have your own radio program. 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: And if you have a show and you're being paid 70 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: money to do that show every day, and your show 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: is losing money for your partners, for your network or 72 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: your syndicator, whatever it happens to be, and your ratings 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: are going progressively down because you're not funny and you're 74 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: supposed to be a comedy show, and people don't watch 75 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: your show anymore, and you've lost a massive amount of audience. 76 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: What happens in that scenario. 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: First of all, you would take a hit. 78 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: I don't know that you know, slow down, Slow down? 79 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: What happens in television if your ratings sink so drastically 80 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: and dramatically like colbts have. 81 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: I've never seen a number one show get canceled and 82 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: it's the number one showing. 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: Ding Ding Ding. 84 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: No, No, it's not the number one show. Greg Guttfeld 85 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: smokes him. 86 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: He smoked thirty. 87 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: Okay, So the numbers. 88 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: That he has compared to Letterman and Leno when he 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: inherited the show, he's lost two thirds of the audience 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: that that Letterman formerly had on that show. He's losing 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: forty to fifty million dollars a year for the network. 92 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: And guess what the worst thing you can say about 93 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: a comic and I can admit I'll tell you who's funny. 94 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: I think John Stewart can be very, very funny, bitingly, 95 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: so the same thing with Bill Maher can be funny. 96 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: He's very smart. I disagree with a lot of what 97 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: he says. Both of them have gone after me and 98 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: I have actually laughed at what they've said because they're funny. 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert is not funny. 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm glad that you could take a joke. 101 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I wish we all could take jokes. I could take 102 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: a joke. I mean, I come on here, your joke 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: on me. But look, I mean everyone in broadcast media 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: has lost market share because people don't watch TV the 105 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: way they used to. They can scream it. 106 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: Is Donald Trump responsible for his firing or is it 107 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: low ratings and loss of revenue responsible? 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: I think that it's a combination of the two. 109 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 2: I think they if his ratings were high or higher 110 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: than or as high as it was when David Letterman 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: had the show and he was making fifty million dollars 112 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: a year often for the network. 113 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: Would he have been fired, of course not. 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: But nobody is doing David Letterman, Okay, I. 115 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: Hate well, I hate to tell you. We're doing better 116 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: than we were doing years ago on the Fox News Channel. 117 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: We did this. 118 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: It's like every year we just keep growing thanks to 119 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 2: this great audience that we have. So uh, but you know, 120 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: have we had down years? Yeah, but nothing that resembles 121 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: the precipitous decline in audience attrition numbers that he has. 122 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: Why can't you just acknowledge a simple truth? 123 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: I think late night viewing is very, very different than 124 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: prime time viewing. At this point, people are watching Colbert 125 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: on YouTube the next time. 126 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: But why have people tuned out late night comedy? Why 127 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: are they tuning out in droves? 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: Well, people don't people viewing habits of changing. 129 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: You don't stay up till wrong, they're not funny. 130 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: If Johnny Carson were alive, or Johnny Carson took over 131 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: that show, that show would do much better. 132 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: You agree with that? Or a Jay Leno. 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: I am a comic myself. You know this, and I 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: happen to think that. 135 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, you're an Now that's a joke, right, Oh. 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm an in prop comic. Or do you think I 137 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: did so well on your show all these years? 138 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: Because you got to go watch my gig that I 139 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: did with Jimmy Fayla Punchlines on Patriots. It's on Fox 140 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: Nation dot com, and tell me how you think I did. 141 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: I will take a look and I will let you. 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: We sold that Ruth Eckert Hall in Clearwater, Florida, and 143 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: we had a rip roaring, fun, fun night. 144 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: What was the average age of the audience member, like 145 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: seventy five or no, it was We. 146 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: Had young people, middle aged people, older people, had everybody, 147 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: just like the demographics of this show. 148 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: It's all across the spectrum. 149 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: My grandmother retired to Clearwater. It's a beautiful beach. 150 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: I love it well. 151 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: She should have come to my show. I would have 152 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: given her a free seat. When you're a liberal, you 153 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: love free stuff. 154 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: She died four years ago. But my mother is. 155 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: All right now, now you're making me feel like crap. 156 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: My mother moved to Clearwater. Oh but she died. I mean, 157 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,679 Speaker 2: tell me after the fact. Make me sound like a jerk. 158 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: I'm so, I am genuinely sorry. I lost my mother 159 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: a long time ago too. It sucks, all right, next. 160 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 1: Question, Sean, that was my grandmother the time. My mother's 161 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: still very much alive, Lizzie Ke, Oh. 162 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: Your grandmother moved there. Okay, I misunderstood.

It sucks to lose people you love. 166 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: All right, let's let's concede that point. Let's move on. 167 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: Chucky Schumer, Kathy Hulkel, Hakeem Jeffries, I argue, are deathly 168 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: afraid of Zoran Mom Donnie Marxist mom Donnie as we 169 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: refer to him on this show.

I would only point to 346 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 7: the convention. Could you have asked for a more compelling 347 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 7: or impassioned speech that Hulpe gave to help Trump get 348 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 7: over the finished Well, Hulk just crossed the finish line, 349 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 7: and we need Trump to help Hulk's family heal from 350 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 7: what they've gone through, and I would love to see 351 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 7: the President do that. I also have a personal circumstance 352 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 7: with my son. He was five years old. We're watching 353 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 7: Hulk pick a three hundred pound guy up and slam 354 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 7: him down on the canvas, and my son, he's sitting 355 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 7: on my lap and he looks up at me and 356 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 7: he goes, hey, Dad, do you think you could beat 357 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 7: Hulk Hogan? And I look back and forth at the 358 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 7: TV and my son and I look at him and 359 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 7: I say, yeah, I think I could beat him. And 360 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 7: my son looks up at me, five years old, and 361 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 7: he goes, I think you could beat him to dad, 362 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 7: my son. 363 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 2: That's pretty good, you know what he made. I love 364 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: when life is fun. We don't talk about this enough, 365 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: you know, there's so much we always talk about the 366 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: bad things. We always talk about the stressful things, you know, 367 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: what about the moments in life. Life When you're bonding 368 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: with your five year old son over his love of 369 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: hul kogd and talking about dad, do you think you 370 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: can take him? 371 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: How cool is that? You know? I think back. 372 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: My son is now twenty six years old, but I'll 373 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: never forget the hours and hours and hours we would 374 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: spend a playing PlayStation and a lot of people thought 375 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: it was a bad idea, but I always said, no, 376 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: it's a great idea because you really had to think 377 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: to get to the end of Scooby dooe Night of 378 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: one hundred Frites. And for those of you that ever 379 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: played it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You 380 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: got to get Scooby snacks and then you go that 381 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: has thirteen different layers. It was my four year old 382 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: son that figured out how to beat the game, and 383 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 2: even after he showed me how to beat the game, 384 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: I still couldn't beat the game, which infuriated me, but 385 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: in a good way because I was kind of proud 386 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: of the fact that he figured it out himself. It's 387 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 2: moments like that, you know, people that do entertain us 388 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: make us laugh that have a good time. I'm I'm 389 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: grateful to all of them, and they use their talent. 390 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: In his case, he sacrificed his body to do it. 391 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure it took a toll on his health. I 392 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 2: have no doubt. I never talked to him about it. 393 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 2: But every former professional athlete that I know, especially you know, 394 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 2: if you play any of our gladiator sports, I mean 395 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: they're the hockey players, football players, I mean they're they 396 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: get beaten up pretty bad, and usually they end up 397 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: with lifelong injuries and those joints don't work like they 398 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 2: did when they were kids, and they get knee replacements 399 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: and hip replacements and shoulder replacements, and and they're out 400 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 2: there to entertain all of us. And we love great champions, 401 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: and we love our fighters on the field and on 402 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 2: the ring and the rink and and every other sport. 403 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: So I have kind of have a rule that I 404 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 2: don't ask President Trump for any favors. I have to 405 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: do my job. 406 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 8: So I asked for interviews, Well, are we are so 407 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 8: lucky to have Trump? We were about to go off 408 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 8: the cliff and Trump has rescued us from that. And 409 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 8: it's amazing how badly they've abused him for ten years now. 410 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 8: He is not only the most powerful man on earth. 411 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 7: He's also the toughest. Look what he's gone through. And 412 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 7: back to the moment with my son. We are our 413 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 7: children's protector. And I convinced my son that I'm the 414 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 7: strongest daddy in the world, just like you did when 415 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 7: your children were babies. And that's our job as their fathers. 416 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 7: We have to have fatherhood come back. Fatherhood has to 417 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 7: come back. The women are doing great jobs, but we 418 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 7: need fatherhood to come back, and. 419 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: That we need fathers them mothers. We just do I mean, 420 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: and I couldn't agree with you more. You know, I 421 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: actually thought that, you know, once my kids graduate college, 422 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 2: that most of my job was done. I couldn't have 423 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: been more wrong. I find that at this stage in 424 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: their life. And I'm very proud of both of them, 425 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: both my kids, and they're great kids. And I'm not 426 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: going to get into what they do, but they're very 427 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: successful at what they do. And and I'm grateful they 428 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: didn't choose the public arena. I really am, because I 429 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: wouldn't want them to go through half of what I've 430 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: gone through. Never mind, you know, it's a level time 431 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: a dimension. I can't even comprehend what Donald Trump's been through, 432 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: but I'm glad that there are people that go through it. 433 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the good news is you go 434 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: through this period. You know, it's great when kids are toddlers, 435 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: it's great when they're really young, it's incredible stages. Then 436 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: you hit this age I don't know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, 437 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: whatever it is, and then your kids like the last 438 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 2: person they want to hang out with is you. And 439 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: then they go off to college, and then they come 440 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: home and then guess what the dream is. What's happened. 441 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 2: In my case, they become your best friend, and I 442 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 2: love that part of it. But they'll also but you're 443 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: also a parent. You'll give them advice and counsel whether 444 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: they want it or not. And they were all their 445 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: eyes when I tell them what it was like when 446 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: I grew up. But there's you know, all of it's 447 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: really special. I'll put it that way. Well, anyway, my friend, 448 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna move on. I could talk to you all day. 449 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: You're the best. Have a great day. Eight hundred and 450 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: nine four one Sean. If you want to be a 451 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: part of the program, Austin he's in Missouri. Why did 452 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: I I had one aunt that referred to Missouri as Missouri, 453 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: Missouri Missouri. To me, it's Missouri. It's always been Missouri. 454 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, we call it misery, but you can call it Missouri. 455 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: You call it misery. Well, you got two good senators 456 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 3: from there. 457 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah, No, I know him personally, but it's 458 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 6: hot out here. It's miserable. No, but actually, thanks for 459 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 6: taking my call. I grew up watching you and Alan 460 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 6: Combs back in the day when I was eight years old. 461 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 6: You know, I don't know any other eight year old 462 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 6: watching Alan Combs and Hannity. 463 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: But you know, I'm getting that more and more in 464 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 2: my life. And I don't know whether to take that 465 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: as a compliment or like, man, I got to look 466 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: in the mirror a little more deeply. 467 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 3: I'm getting old. 468 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know you're good, and I appreciate your service. 469 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: The thing is that I love doing what I do, 470 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: and I don't even think about doing anything else. Linda 471 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: keeps to saying, well, there's all this online chatter. Is 472 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 2: Hannady going to run for president? I don't even know 473 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: where this came from. Didn't come from me. 474 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 3: I'll be your first vote. 475 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, don't didn't know you're encouraging her. Stop 476 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: don't encourage her. 477 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'll be quick. I know you got other guests, 478 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 6: but I regarding the Obama gate, I don't see any 479 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 6: accountability happening with this. Nothing happened with with Hillary, with Fauci. 480 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 6: You know, it seems like once you step out of 481 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 6: Congress and into the executive branches, you become untouchable. I mean, 482 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 6: unless you're a Republican like Trump. You know, the the 483 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 6: Democratic Party, they seem like they're so powerful that they 484 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 6: can get away with literally everything. And I want to know, honestly, Sean, 485 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 6: I want to know what your expectations are out of this, 486 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 6: because if we continue going down this path with no standards, 487 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 6: no accountability, it's going to continue to happen. 488 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 3: I am telling you right now. 489 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 2: And I do agree with Jonathan Turley that Brennan and 490 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: maybe a couple of others. You know, Brennan now is 491 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: officially lawyered up, as he should. But if we don't 492 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: hold these people accountable for abusing power in these spectacular ways, uh, 493 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: then we're just going to continue to have more of it. 494 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: You know what I really want and hope for with 495 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: the intelligence community and with the FBI. I want they 496 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: used to be the world's premier law enforcement and intelligence agencies. 497 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: I want to restore them to their former greatness. And 498 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that we haven't had moments, you know, 499 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: go back to the Church Committee or go back to 500 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: Jed Hoover. 501 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: You know. 502 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 2: One of the reasons I've not talked about the MLK 503 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: files that were released. Are you Are you even aware 504 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: they were released this week? 505 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 506 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: One of the reasons is I don't like how the 507 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 2: FBI MLK JR. I think they used many of the 508 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: same tactics that they used against Donald Trump, illegal wire 509 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: tapping and spying on him and putting cameras in hotel rooms. 510 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 2: And they did get information, and that information is pretty salacious, 511 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 2: and I've known about this for some time, but I'm sorry, 512 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: I feel like it was gotten in a nefarious way. Therefore, 513 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair to him, his memory, the 514 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: good work he did in his life. Nobody's perfect and 515 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 2: his family for them to go through that, And I 516 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: support the family and what they're saying, which is, you know, 517 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 2: they didn't want it released, it had to be released. 518 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: If you have it, you release it. 519 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: But I agree with them that, you know, considering the 520 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: circumstances under which some of this material was gotten, I 521 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: believe personally my view violating his rights. This has to 522 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: stop or will continue. You anyway, my friend, God bless you. 523 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 3: Get some air. 524 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 2: Get in the air conditioner while the heat's blazing over 525 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: there in Missouri today. Back to our phones. Let us 526 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 2: go to Jack in South Carolina.

I go back to 530 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 5: Watergate here, that's how That's how old I am. And 531 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 5: I've watched Benghazi and Oliver North and you name it. 532 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 5: And it's a bunch of grand standing. It's a bunch 533 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 5: of speeches. And the only thing they can do in 534 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 5: cardress is do a referral. And now we get Gabbage, 535 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 5: God bless her, and she's she's making all these press 536 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 5: conferences about what she's doing as a referral. Why don't 537 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 5: we just stop hyping us up, getting our expectations up. 538 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 5: Send this stuff to a green and let's hear about 539 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: the indictments and be done with. 540 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: Well, remember the one person that they actually brought all 541 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 2: this to fruition for was all based on, you know, 542 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: a bunch of lies and phony arguments. 543 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: Was Donald Trump. So it has come to fruition number one. 544 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: Number two. You're right. 545 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: They often over promise, under deliver, and you're right people 546 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: that have done wrong have gotten away with wrong things. 547 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: And you're right, expectations sometimes are set too high. As 548 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: of right now, we see that they corrupted the intelligence 549 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: on purpose. Right now, it was referred to the Department 550 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: of Justice. Right now, there's a strike force that has 551 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: been formed. Right now, there's a grand conspiracy investigation within 552 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 2: the FBI as it relates to the ten years of Trump. 553 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 3: So you're right on every front. 554 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: And my hope is is that all the pieces are 555 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: in place and that this time will be different. I'm 556 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: not guaranteeing that as a matter of fact, I'm worried 557 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 2: as you are, but you know, we can't.
