1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: you for being with us. Right down our toll free

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: telephone number. We'd love to hear from you this Friday.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: want to join us. The President just posting this on

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: truth Social I just completed a very productive call with

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: President Chi of China. We made progress on many very

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: important issues, including trade, fentan hal, the need to bring

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: the war between Russia and Ukraine to an end, and

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: the approval of the TikTok deal. I also agreed with

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: President She that we would meet at the APEC summit

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: in South Korea, that I would go to China in

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: the early part of next year. President She would likewise

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: come to the United States in an appropriate time. The

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: call was a very good one. We will be speaking

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: again by phone. Appreciate the TikTok approval, and both look

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: forward to meeting at APEX.

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: So that's very interesting.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: The President also, if you haven't been following it, is

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: trying to regain control. We never should have given this

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: up considering its strategic location, and that is Bogram Airbase

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. You can thank Joe Biden for that, on

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: top of the billions and billions and sophisticated and advanced

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: military equipment that Joe just abandoned, on top of other

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Americans abandoned, on top of which he said he would

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: never do, on top of allies that for you know,

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: over a decade or more had been assisting the United

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: States in and of course computers that had their names

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: on it, and some of them then targeted for death

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: according to some reports. You know, I find what's going

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: on with this Jimmy Kimmel thing, and part of it's amusing,

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, part of it is just garbage. And this

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a frustrating part of all

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: of this before he even get started, because the left

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: in this country is making an argument that is just false.

36
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: And I'll go into great specificity in detail about how

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: false it is, and that is that this is the

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: result of conservatives, or concerted effort of conservatives to silent

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: the left.

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: Well, all the.

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Years I have been doing this radio program, I've been

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: on Fox many many of them. This program has been

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: targeted by people that have wanted me to be fired

44
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: and have said so openly. There are articles out there

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I can pose them if you want. Here are Sean

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Hannity's advertisers. There have been efforts to boycott this show.

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: They they did the same to Rush Limbaugh. I know

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: they do it to Mark Levin. I'm sure they do

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: it to others too. I don't know everybody that has

50
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: had to deal with it, but it is a very

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: it's been a very real phenomenon that has gone on

52
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: for a long time now. Some will say, well, Hannity,

53
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: President Trump said Kimmel's next, and he hopes that that

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: people like fallon, etcetera. What was he saying after Colbert

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: what he said Kimmel's Next? I said, Kimmel's next, meaning

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: it's just predictable. It's predictable. And I'll go into great

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: specificity about how his ratings have tanked, how he has

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: lost seventy two percent of his target audience in a

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: relatively short period of time. The means that means the

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: show is failing. While simultaneously, in that same time period,

61
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: for example, somebody like Greg Guttfeldt has ascended with more

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: than twice the ratings of Jimmy Kimmel. And and you know,

63
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: how do you lose seventy two percent in your target

64
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: demo and expect to keep a job at a broadcast network,

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, to the point where you know they're getting

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: one point six million. You know, maybe he would have

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: at some point had some introspection, some are and maybe

68
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: a course shift and a course change to try to

69
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: gain some of his audience back. If you look at

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: the map of this country, politically, it is mostly read

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: and the idea that stations are station groups or people

72
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: who are complaining to the stations. You know, they all

73
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: have to make business decisions. Broadcasting, at the end of

74
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the day is also business. And as soon as you

75
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: become a liability and you're not making money and you

76
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: can't attract an audience and you can't attract advertisers, which

77
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: is why it was at times, you know, I'm not

78
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna lie. It was frustrating and disconcerting and a battle

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: we had to engage in constantly to silence us. But

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Democrats are acting like this is you know, Trump saying, well,

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 1: Kimmel's next. He was making a prediction, a prediction based

82
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: on what he thinks is no talent, and a prediction

83
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: based on low ratings. Because the president's very attuned to

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: what people's ratings are are and who's successful and who's not.

85
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: On television, he had a long running, you know, number

86
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: one rated show himself, The Apprentice. But you know, to

87
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: listen to these democrats now and their utter hypocrisy is breathtaking.

88
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Listen to democrats attempting starting with Jensaki and then moving

89
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: on to the likes of Tim Walls and Hillary Clinton

90
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris and AOC and on and on and on.

91
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Just listen to democrats and what they say about freedom

92
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: of speech with their now claiming is at risk.

93
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others

94
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: if you afford uh providing misinformation out there.

95
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: There's no guaranteed of free speech on misinformation or or

96
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 4: hate speech.

97
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 5: And especially around our democracy, there.

98
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 6: Are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 6: And whether they should be civilly or even in some

100
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 6: case is criminally charged, is something that would be a

101
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 6: better deterrent.

102
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 7: If people go to only one source and the source

103
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: they go to is sick, and you know, as an

104
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 7: agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands

105
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 7: as a major block. It's really hard to govern today.

106
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 8: This is a matter of corporate responsibility. Twitter should be

107
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 8: held accountable and shut down that site. It is a

108
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 8: matter of safety and corporate accountability.

109
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: The First Amendment is not absolute.

110
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 9: It does not protect any single thing anyone says, and

111
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 9: there are limits, and that's important. And what this committee

112
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 9: has been trying to do for the last year and

113
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 9: a half is to chill the federal government from monitoring

114
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 9: what is going on on social media.

115
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 10: When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of

116
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 10: these other folks on Fox do, it is very very

117
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 10: clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of us. Believe

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 10: that when it comes to broadcast television like Fox News,

119
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 10: these are subject to to federal law, federal regulation in

120
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 10: terms of what's allowed on air and what isn't.

121
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 11: So my biggest concern is that your view has the

122
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 11: First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: Now go over what we just heard there.

124
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: You know, Jensaki talking about the platforming Donald Trump, no

125
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: guarantee of freedom of speech. Tim Walls criminally or civilly

126
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: being you know, charged or prosecuted, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris

127
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: shut down Twitter, you know, silence voices. AOC doesn't even

128
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: understand the law very different. You know, governing regulations, you

129
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: have to act within the public interest. If you are

130
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: a broadcast channel, that's not the same. The standard does

131
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: not exist on cable, you know, inciting people to violence.

132
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I defy her to give us examples. I don't know

133
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: any off the top of my head. I'm not saying

134
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: that it doesn't exist. I'm just saying I can't think

135
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: of one. So, you know, and all of these people,

136
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: they say all these things, and then then they're acting

137
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: as though you know that Conservatives, you know, short of

138
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump predicting that Kimmel's demise was imminent because of

139
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: bad ratings and no talent and wanting it to happen

140
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: is very different than what they are saying here. You know,

141
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: the idea that the monies that were used, there were

142
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: organizations that were used to shut down talk radio for decades.

143
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: We know where the money came from. Here's a list

144
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: of Sean Hannity's advertisers. Why Sean Hannity needs to be fired,

145
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Why Fox News needs to fire Sean Hannity, I Rush

146
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Limbaughs should be fired, and and and all the other

147
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: conservatives that have been through this. One of the things

148
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: that makes this so interesting is Roseanne Barr pointed out

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: yesterday it was Obama and Michelle Obama that are, you know,

150
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: complaining former President Obama weighing in after years or complaining

151
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: about cancel culture. The current administration has taken it to

152
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: a new dangerous level that's predicated on the belief that

153
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump did this. Donald Trump was in England when

154
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: all of this happened, and you know, and Roseanne pointing

155
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: out it was Barack and Michelle Obama that called Bob

156
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Biger to have her fired because of a tweet she

157
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: put out in twenty eighteen. By the way, unlike Kimmel,

158
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: her show was a big success. And it wasn't just

159
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: elected officials. Their allies in the legacy media mob, you know,

160
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: rushed to feign their outrage about ABC's decision. You know,

161
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have a right to work at

162
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: a broadcast network. You have to earn that right, and

163
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: the way you earn it is by delivering results for

164
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: your employer. And that means that you get viewership, that

165
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: enough people want to watch you or enough people want

166
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: to listen to you. And I don't remember any outrage,

167
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you know Gina Carono was fired. As

168
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Jimmy Kimmel was jumping for joy.

169
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: We played it yesterday when Tucker Carlson was fired. Couldn't

170
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: have been happier about it. You know, I don't want

171
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: to really hear this. It goes on and on and on.

172
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: If Kimmel had a massive audience, if he were more successful,

173
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't be in this position right now. He

174
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: very blunt, But let me give you the numbers so

175
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: you have them because the arguments are spectacularly false. And

176
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the very people, as I just played for you, that

177
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: have been calling for that censorship are the very Democrats

178
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: now that are claiming that the government did this when

179
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: it was a corporate decision by ABC and Bob Iger

180
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: who runs ABC. You know, but if you look at,

181
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, the last decade of his show, he lost

182
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, almost a million viewers. I mean that is

183
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: a that is more than a third of his audience.

184
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Then if you look at the target demo for a

185
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: show like Kimmel's, which is supposed to be a comedy show,

186
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: he lost seventy two percent of younger viewers twenty five

187
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: to fifty four. In other words, he lost three out

188
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: of four of them in that category. Okay, you might say, well,

189
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: cord cutting played a part. Then explain the phenomenon of

190
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Greg Guttfeldt. Greg Guttfelt's funny. You know, I've said on

191
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: this program before, I actually think Bill Maher is funny.

192
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: Bill Maher also showed last weekend that he has a

193
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: heart on his podcast, unlike a lot of his counterparts.

194
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, I understand it's personal for John Stewart, he

195
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: would have been a far better choice than Stephen Colbert

196
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: and and CBS announced and even it was reiterated yesterday

197
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: that he was not fired for his political views. He

198
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: was fired because the show wasn't making money. Roseanne Barr

199
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: was making money. Bob Grant, oh, ABC talk radio host

200
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: in New York City, Yeah, and Cindy area as hell,

201
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: no dispute, kind of like late night comedy hosts and

202
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: other people, you know. And here's the other thing. When

203
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: you get to the bottom of this, Jimmy Kimmel will

204
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: have plenty of options. Jimmy Kimmel's life is not going

205
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: to end if he wants to continue to, you know,

206
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: spew his left wing venom in the guise of being funny,

207
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: because he's not. His biggest problem is he's not funny.

208
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: That's the biggest problem he has. And he and Colbert

209
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: and frankly all of them have decided that they wanted

210
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: to be left wing, radicalized Trump paiding political commentators. Well,

211
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: they failed to take a look at the entire country

212
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: that ABC affiliates were broadcasting too, and they failed to

213
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: pay attention when their ratings took a dramatic were dramatically declining.

214
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: And it's been in a steep, significant, steady decline, and

215
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: there's been no introspection, no reflection, and no course correction.

216
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: And if you just keep doing what you're doing and

217
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: doubling then tripling down on it, even the people that

218
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: may politically agree with you, and it's the same thing

219
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: every night, it's not going to work. And he made,

220
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, had no plans, according to reports, to make

221
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: an apology, one report saying that he was even defiant

222
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: in the face of the criticism. I guess of Bob

223
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: Biger and other leaders at ABC was going to be

224
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: more defined. According to one report that came out yesterday, Okay,

225
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: that's a choice you make. You could either work with

226
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: your broadcast partner with your your your boss, or decide

227
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: to go your own way and then you know you

228
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: risk the consequences. This is not complicated, and it's not

229
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: what they're saying it is. It just isn't. It's plain

230
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: and simple. Eight hundred nine one, Shawn, if you want

231
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, and as we

232
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: roll along, eight hundred ninefot one Sean. By the way,

233
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: if you want to call in, I know a lot

234
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: of you. This has been a very very emotional a

235
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: little over a week now and you probably want to

236
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: have a lot to say. And we have a couple

237
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: of really good guests today. One is Frank Turk. Frank

238
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: is a Christian apology apolog apologist. They call it apologetics

239
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: is what it's called, and he has a ministry cross

240
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Examined dot org. He was right next to Charlie when

241
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: he was assassinated and in the car with him as

242
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: they raced off to the hospital. They couldn't even close

243
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: the door, he described it. I'm going to play that

244
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: later and he'll join us at the top of the

245
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: next hour, but we'll get to some of your calls

246
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: in the next half hour as well. And also a

247
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: story that we mentioned didn't have enough time to get

248
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: to and that's arctic frost. As described by Senator Charles Grassley,

249
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: him and Ron Johnson Responsible ninety six or No.

250
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: No.

251
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: Ninety two, Conservative organizations, including Turning Point were being targeted

252
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: by this weaponized you know, white house of Joe Biden.

253
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: I want to go back to some of the rhetoric

254
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: of the left. Now, let me play the medium meltdown

255
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: over Kimmel's suspension by ABC. Let's just play the media meltdown.

256
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: Even though we're talking about comedy. This is so serious.

257
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 12: Aaron America is a less free place if late night

258
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 12: comedians cannot do and say what they want. This is

259
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 12: just the latest chapter in Donald Trump's ongoing campaign to

260
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 12: crack down on free speech, dominate the media, and essentially

261
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 12: render the First Amendment meaningless.

262
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: The suppression of Democratic Party speech is coming next.

263
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 9: That is a message to every other broadcaster on every

264
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 9: other medium in this country that if you say something

265
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 9: the leader doesn't like, you're probably at risk of getting asked.

266
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 13: They are looking for reasons to get Jimmy Kimmel, and

267
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 13: they manufactured one out of something that is, you know,

268
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 13: hardly a dramatic departure from what lots of people are saying,

269
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 13: you can't go.

270
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 14: Around firing somebody because you're fearful or trying to suck

271
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 14: up to an authoritarian, criminal administration in the Oval Office.

272
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: Not what happened. It just flat out lying to you.

273
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: Now, let's listen to the people that have really advocated

274
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: to censor information and keep in mind, and this isn't

275
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: about me, but there have been, you know, efforts throughout

276
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot of my career, and a lot of Russia's career,

277
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of Levin's career, and a lot of

278
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: other prominent radio and TV host careers to get us

279
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: fired and to boycott us. I've had to go through this,

280
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: you know, I spent a couple of decades dealing with

281
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: this crap and you have to fight back.

282
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 2: But we have been the target of this.

283
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: Now one liberal ever came to my defense my private

284
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: text messages released. Nobody came to my defense. They didn't

285
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: care if they just covered it, and they're big coverage

286
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: on fake news CNN and at MSDNC. Sean Hannity's text

287
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: messages released, Oh my gosh, it sounds like one of

288
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: his monologues. It's like he really believes this stuff. Does

289
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: that imply they don't. Well, let's listen to prominent democrats,

290
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: shall we about cracking down on freedom of speech.

291
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others

292
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: if you afore providing misinformation out there.

293
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 14: There's no guaranteed of free speech on misinformation or or

294
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 14: hate speech.

295
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 11: And especially around our democracy, there.

296
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 6: Are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda,

297
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 6: and whether they should be civilly or even in some

298
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 6: cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrent.

299
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 7: If people go to only one source and the source

300
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 7: they go to is sick, and you know, as an agenda,

301
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 7: and they're putting out disinformation. Our First Amendment stands as

302
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 7: a major block. It's really hard to govern today.

303
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 8: This is a matter of corporate responsibility. Twitter should be

304
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 8: held accountable and shut down that site. It is a

305
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 8: matter of safety and corporate accountability.

306
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: The First Amendment is not absolute.

307
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 9: It does not protect any single thing anyone says, and

308
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 9: there are limits and that's important. And what this committee

309
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 9: has been trying to do for the last year and

310
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 9: a half is to kill the federal government from monitoring

311
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 9: what is going on on social media.

312
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 10: When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of

313
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 10: these other folks on Fox do. It is very very

314
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 10: clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of us. I

315
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 10: believe that when it comes to broadcast television like Fox News,

316
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 10: these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms

317
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 10: of what's allowed on air and what isn't.

318
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 11: So my biggest concern is that your view has the

319
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 11: First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.

320
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: First Amendment handstringing the government AOC incitement of violence on

321
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: Fox News. Really, you know, I'll take the examples when

322
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: she gets time. Hen Sake calling for deep platforming Donald Trump,

323
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, no guarantee of freedom of speech. We should

324
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: criminally or civilly charge people Hillary Rodham, Clinton Kamala shut

325
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: down Glitter. Oh no, I didn't hear Humpty dumpty or

326
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: any of these other people are fake Jake Tapper or

327
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: David Letterman or Keith Oberman or any of these other

328
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: people that are screaming bloody murder out there, talk about

329
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: any of these examples.

330
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: Not one time.

331
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: Now, there was good advice that was given by somebody

332
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: that was a successful late night comedian for many, many decades.

333
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: Jay Leno This is what he said after co BET's firing.

334
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 15: I like to think can people come to a comedy

335
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 15: show to kind of get away from the things, you know,

336
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 15: the pressures of life wherever it might be. I love

337
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 15: political humor, I don't get me wrong, but it's just

338
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 15: what happens is people wind up cozing too much to

339
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 15: one side or the other. Why shoot for just half

340
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 15: an audience all the time, you know, why not try

341
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 15: to get the whole of I mean, I like to

342
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 15: bring people into the big picture. I don't understand why

343
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 15: you would alienate one particular group, you know, or just

344
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 15: don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have

345
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 15: to throw your support or whatever, but just do what's funny.

346
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Or just go on fake news CNN or MSDNC and

347
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: be a political commentator, because that's what these shows have

348
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: turned into.

349
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: That I'm funny. You know.

350
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: They all praise Johnny Carson as the greatest of all time.

351
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson was asked us by Mike Wallace's.

352
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: Sensitive about the fact that people say he'll never take

353
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: a serious controversy. Well, I have an answer to that,

354
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 4: I said, Now tell me the last time that Jack

355
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: Benny red Skelton, Benny comedian used his show to do

356
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 4: serious issues.

357
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: That's not what I'm there for.

358
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 7: Can't they see that?

359
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 11: But you and I do.

360
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: They think that just because you have it tonight's show,

361
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: that you must deal in serious issues. It's a danger.

362
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: It's a real danger. Once you start that, you start

363
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 4: to get that self important feeling that what you say

364
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: has great.

365
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: Import and you know, strangely enough.

366
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: You could use that show as a form you could

367
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: sway people. And I don't think you should as an entertainer.

368
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't think you should if you're going to be

369
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: an entertainer. Supposed to be a late nine comedy show.

370
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: RC is in South Carolina. Happy Friday, RC, Glad.

371
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: You called same to you, Sean. How you doing?

372
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm good? Ben? What's going on?

373
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: I was just a pleasure you're talking to me. When

374
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week, I think me, along

375
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: with millions of other people, are hers just sunk. And

376
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 5: I was thinking, how is the how is this? How's

377
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 5: this going to carry on in the country? You know,

378
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 5: And after looking at the news, just want to say,

379
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 5: there's like sixty one thousand applications for campuses of training point.

380
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: Incredible.

381
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: It's an incredible that's going to amount of requests for

382
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Turning Point chapters and it's only going to continue to grow.

383
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 5: And I'm wondering what that's going to make the country

384
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 5: look like when this happens. I mean, to me, it's

385
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: great to hear that, because the country needs to go

386
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 5: back right and uh not be so stupid for better word.

387
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: But I listen, I I think it's incalculable in this moment,

388
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: and we're heading into the funeral weekend and the big

389
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: memorial service on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. But Charlie, I

390
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to be able to calculate for

391
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: some time, maybe maybe a couple of years from now,

392
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the how this is a tipping point moment for the

393
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: country and how this assassination has did awaken a sleeping giant.

394
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: I really believe that.

395
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 5: And one more quick thing, how why are who are

396
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 5: these people thinking? What do they think we go attack

397
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 5: ICE agents in New York That was also on the.

398
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: News this morning.

399
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: What are they? Are they aliens or the American citizens

400
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 5: that are attacking ICE agents?

401
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 2: Oh?

402
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean usually uh, they are radicalized leftists that I

403
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: guess you know, those people that put the rights or

404
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: so called rights of illegals over the safety of Americans.

405
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: I have a hard time understanding that. You know, just

406
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: like those idiots that believe in defund the police and

407
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, dismantle them, no bail laws, sending the social

408
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: workers reimagine. It just makes no sense. Common sense with

409
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: the left is dying and dead. Appreciate the call will

410
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: stay in South Carolina. Sam the Man, Sam the Man,

411
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: How are you happy Friday?

412
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: Sir Sean. There's a huge difference in what you're seeing

413
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 5: right now and what the left did for decades. For decades,

414
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 5: the left canceled people and tried to destroy their lives

415
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 5: based on how they voted, what beliefs they espoused, if

416
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: they had on a red hat or not when they

417
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: entered a restaurant. They tried to destroy people's lives. And

418
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 5: now the left apparently thinks that they can silence people

419
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 5: by murdering them, celebrating their deaths, and then lying about

420
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: the circumstances under which they died. They're getting a dose

421
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 5: of the their own medicine, and they don't like it.

422
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Well, as evidenced by all the comments that I may

423
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: I play Jensaki and Hillary Clinton and Tim Walls and

424
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and aoc Dan Goldman and others about freedom

425
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: of speech. How apropos it is to to play them

426
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: now considering the arguments they're making. They're just such hypocrites.

427
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: One question, pretty amazing, Yes, sir, I'd like.

428
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 5: Your audience has themselves. Is it taking away someone's First

429
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 5: Amendment rights to freedom of speech to murder them? Thank you, Sean,

430
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: I'm for taking my call.

431
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: Oh what happened to Charlie's freedom of speech? Pretty profound?

432
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: North Carolina Scott next on the Sean Hannity Show, Scott,

433
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called?

434
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 5: Great?

435
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 16: Thanks mister Hannity. I'm loving your show today.

436
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you.

437
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 16: You know call there and Kimmel and those sort of guys.

438
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 16: You know, there's all this upcrying and sadness and upheople

439
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 16: from the left and how dare this?

440
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 5: But if they had talent, don't you think.

441
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 16: Their comrades at CNN or MSNBC would hire them as

442
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 16: a counterweight to the gut failed when they clearly know

443
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 16: that they are talentless and don't stand a chance.

444
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: They really don't stand the trends. I mean that when

445
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: you lose seventy two percent of your audience, says Kimmel

446
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: has in his target demographic.

447
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: I mean, at that.

448
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: Point, you know, when you had lost fifty percent of

449
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: your audience, did you not stop, have a staff meeting

450
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: and say, okay, something is radically wrong here. Was there

451
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: any self examination, any self reflection, any introspection, any course correction.

452
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 2: The answer is no, that's on him. Teachers.

453
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: You know there's a percent of mi Kins failed. I'd

454
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: be fired New York Post today. Kimmel dug his own grave.

455
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: It's all true. Nobody wants to hear that right now.

456
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: But you know, the good news for Jimmy is he

457
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: will find you a platform that works for him, and

458
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: maybe he'll learn something from it. I tend to doubt it.

459
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: I think he's just going to get angrier and more vitriolic.

460
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: That's my prediction. But you never know. Maybe this, maybe

461
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: in some ways this will humble him, But I don't

462
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: see any evidence of that happening anyway. My friend, appreciate

463
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: the call. Let's say hi to Griffin and Connecticut. Griffin,

464
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: thank you for calling.

465
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: Happy Friday to you, Yes, Happy Friday to you.

466
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 17: Sean. You're a patriotic hero and a gentleman to be admired.

467
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 17: I feel it in this country we give much too

468
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 17: much attention glorifying these killers who go out and just

469
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 17: want that, and then the left feeds off of it,

470
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 17: making the person a heroic and memorable figure.

471
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: You always run.

472
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: The risk of copycats. You always run the risk. You

473
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: know there's always going to be sick people in society.

474
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: But this goes to the point that I had been

475
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: making for the better part of a week at different times.

476
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: And when you get to your final.

477
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Argument in a presidential election cycle that your opponent is

478
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: a threat to democracy and a racist and a Nazi

479
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: and a fascist, and that he's Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini,

480
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: you have dehumanized that person. And there are many many

481
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: You have to be aware that there are many mentally

482
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: ill people out there. I look, I could tell you,

483
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: in all truth, I wish Jimmy Kimmel the best. I

484
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with ABC. I really

485
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: don't even care because I don't watch the show The

486
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Beauty about you know, having so many options, I can't

487
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: force people to listen to this radio show. I just

488
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: have to do the best show I can do so

489
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: that you want to listen. I have to do the

490
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: best TV show at night so you want to watch.

491
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: And it's and I work hard at it, and I

492
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: don't stop working hard at it. I'm working harder now

493
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: than I've ever worked because I care that much. But

494
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: I think you raised a good point. He will have

495
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: a platform someplaces. I don't know if it's going to

496
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: be ABC, if you'll make a deal with them or not.

497
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: We'll see over time, though I tend to think not
