Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott, Shannon Gladuello is happy Monday. Hope
Speaker 1: you had a great weekend. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. So
Speaker 1: we've got a lot on the table today. There is now,
Speaker 1: as things begin to shake out, we're finding out more
Speaker 1: and more, you know, who really really deserves a good grade,
Speaker 1: if you will, who handled the COVID pandemic the best,
Speaker 1: and what states were atrocious? And it's there's there is
Speaker 1: now a real significant growing effort for Gavin Newsom to
Speaker 1: be recalled in California to impeach Governor Cuomo in New York.
Speaker 1: I know the people of Michigan have had it with
Speaker 1: Governor Whitmer, and the same thing in New Jersey Murphy
Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania Wolf people have had it. Turns out you
Speaker 1: got governors like the Santa's with a very high percentage
Speaker 1: and a high population of the elderly population doing much
Speaker 1: better in terms of distribution of the vaccine everything in between.
Speaker 1: How do I know, because they have friends that live
Speaker 1: down there telling me not shutting down everything. Every business
Speaker 1: is four pages in the New York Post today about
Speaker 1: shut down businesses all over New York. Well we think,
Speaker 1: but maybe by twenty twenty five or six, New York
Speaker 1: City might begin a comeback. I mean the stock exchange
Speaker 1: now because of threats of massively increased fees and taxes,
Speaker 1: they want to they want to charge for every single
Speaker 1: transaction stock transaction in New York. Why would why would
Speaker 1: why would any of these companies pay the highest amount
Speaker 1: of money in the country for rent. Now that we've
Speaker 1: learned teleworking works, telecommuting is efficient and effective, just like
Speaker 1: people can go to school online, just like people can
Speaker 1: do a lot of things online that we never knew.
Speaker 1: A telemedicine is another one. We learned a lot that
Speaker 1: we can apply in ways of reducing costs for everybody.
Speaker 1: And these companies usually they're not stupid, and they always
Speaker 1: look at quote, the bottom line, and if they can
Speaker 1: see that moving to Texas or moving to Florida, or
Speaker 1: moving to the Carolinas, or moving into Nashville or Tennessee
Speaker 1: or any other place is going to be better for them,
Speaker 1: they're doing it, and it's just going to continue to
Speaker 1: get worse. But just you know here now Democrats taken
Speaker 1: on quote it's not Republicans that they are now talking
Speaker 1: seriously about an impeachment of him and getting him and
Speaker 1: removing him from office. So we're watching and waiting. Then
Speaker 1: you see, you know, we passed the twenty five, the
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand mark of people that have died. Then
Speaker 1: there is the ever I'm getting tired, Megan McCain said
Speaker 1: it today. I am getting a little bit tired of
Speaker 1: Fauci politicizing everything. I've tried to give him the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt. The man has spent the better part
Speaker 1: of his life trying to help people and save lives.
Speaker 1: But he's not the authoritative voice on COVID or anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, less than a month ago he said, no,
Speaker 1: we need to wear two masks. The guy that's in
Speaker 1: the beginning. You don't need to wear any mask. All
Speaker 1: the experts, all the models, all the predictions, they all
Speaker 1: turned out to be wrong. And what worked the best
Speaker 1: was Operation Warp Speed. What worked the best was Donald
Speaker 1: Trump building the hospitals in the areas that were hit
Speaker 1: the hardest. At the time, you have the highest concentration
Speaker 1: of people in the smallest geographic area in New York
Speaker 1: City and all these hospital beds. This is what makes
Speaker 1: this so inexplicable. Remained empty. President built them, converted them
Speaker 1: into COVID capabilities so we could take on COVID patients,
Speaker 1: manned them and otherwords, staffed them all the shields, gloves, masks, gowns,
Speaker 1: ventilators that New York didn't have, and we weren't prepared
Speaker 1: for that. Eighty percent of those hospital beds that Trump
Speaker 1: built remained empty. And then you say, okay, well we're
Speaker 1: gonna blame the nursing homeowners. The nursing home owners were screaming,
Speaker 1: we can't handle COVID in our nursing home. And then, well,
Speaker 1: now we have a whistleblower saying that they purposely withheld
Speaker 1: the real death toll for the purpose of preventing the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice from knowing man man. And it's not
Speaker 1: much better. How is it? They have pretty much the
Speaker 1: same temperatures out in California. Explain California versus Florida. You
Speaker 1: really can't, because you've had these draconian shutdowns in California,
Speaker 1: but you didn't have them in Florida, and Florida did
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot better. It's gonna be like
Speaker 1: governors like the Santis and Christy Noman. South Dakota, and
Speaker 1: they she never had any restrictions. She just said, to
Speaker 1: the people's South Dakota, Okay, here's what we what they're recommending.
Speaker 1: Follow the recommendations. Be smart, consider other people. Think about grandma, grandpa,
Speaker 1: Think about elderly people, those with pre existing conditions, comorbidities,
Speaker 1: compromised immune systems, etc. Now you've got a COVID relief
Speaker 1: bill one point nine trillion dollars. And as the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal points out, this is a non COVID spending blowout.
Speaker 1: And you know the definition of COVID related provisions are
Speaker 1: like eight hundred and twenty five billion that they've been
Speaker 1: able to add and more than a trillion is a
Speaker 1: combination of ballouts for democratic constituencies, expansions of progressive programs,
Speaker 1: and pork and unrelated policy changes. It's basically under just
Speaker 1: like changing the election laws under the guise of safety
Speaker 1: in the day and age of COVID. The one thing
Speaker 1: they never wanted to quote doctor Fauci about was Fauci said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: people can vote in person if they socially distanced and
Speaker 1: wear a mask. But no, they of course want to
Speaker 1: institute widespread mail in ballots and change the rules last minute,
Speaker 1: even defying some constitutional orders. But you look at the
Speaker 1: amount of money. You got three hundred and fifty billion
Speaker 1: with a B for state and local governments, cities and counties,
Speaker 1: and even as state revenues have recovered since the spring, Well,
Speaker 1: you're gonna where's that money going to come from. That
Speaker 1: money's gonna come from states like, for example, states that
Speaker 1: that were responsible and that balance their budgets every year,
Speaker 1: don't even have state income taxes. Those states are now
Speaker 1: going to a foot the bill and bailout states that
Speaker 1: for decades elect irresponsible democratic governors that never balance their budgets,
Speaker 1: never fund their pensions, and use the money to basically
Speaker 1: maintain power. It's it's unbelievable. And so that this is
Speaker 1: just the beginning. Now when you get to the bottom line,
Speaker 1: how are we ever going to afford it to? What?
Speaker 1: Did I get to that question? Members are slipping in
Speaker 1: pet causes in this COVID quote relief bill. You know,
Speaker 1: do we really have to spend a million five for
Speaker 1: the Seaway International Bridge connecting New York to Canada? Well
Speaker 1: why is that in there? Because that benefits Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: or the five hundred million for what the CBO calls
Speaker 1: grants to funds activities related to the arts and the
Speaker 1: humanities and libraries and museums and Native American language preservation. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying not worthy causes in some places, but
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. Then you've got kickbacks. The
Speaker 1: Republican Study Committee, they put out a three page memo
Speaker 1: and outlining all of the left wing items that I
Speaker 1: can spend the better part of this program that Democrats
Speaker 1: are hoping you the American people are not going to
Speaker 1: find out about, you know, provisions right, fourteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: stimulus checks going to families, but it also includes people
Speaker 1: that are in the country illegally. It also includes MONEIS
Speaker 1: for planned parenthood so they can be a part of
Speaker 1: the PPP. The Paycheck Protection Program funds designed to keep
Speaker 1: small businesses afloat six hundred million for additional emergency paid leave, etc.
Speaker 1: It just is a laundry list, and a lot of
Speaker 1: it's going to sound great. Okay, We're increasing food stamps,
Speaker 1: We're increasing the Supplemental Nutrition Program for women, infants, and children,
Speaker 1: et cetera, the WICK program. And then I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that there aren't some valid that there is not valid relief.
Speaker 1: There is valid relief. But also these governors got to
Speaker 1: do a better job of opening up businesses and opening
Speaker 1: them up safely, and there's been a reluctance and resistance
Speaker 1: and they're paying the price for their bad policies. You know,
Speaker 1: you got you know, kickbacks now to leftist causes, and
Speaker 1: a lot of it too is now going to this
Speaker 1: Green New Deal wish list. And I'll explain more of
Speaker 1: that over time. So now we've found out just the
Speaker 1: news dot com reporting that James Coomey absolutely never verified
Speaker 1: Hillary's dirty Russian disinformation dossier, but he's still signed three
Speaker 1: of the four FISA application warrants to spy on a
Speaker 1: president and a presidential candidate. So he got Merrick Garland,
Speaker 1: who's up for ag It didn't take long to demonstrate
Speaker 1: completely well political he is, and I don't know, not
Speaker 1: exactly meeting the bill in terms of what I would
Speaker 1: be looking for an a fair attorney general anyway, any
Speaker 1: public official that he won't acknowledge that Komey drove the FBI,
Speaker 1: you know, it says at the top of a FISER warrant.
Speaker 1: Does he not know if he's going to be the
Speaker 1: Attorney General. It says verified, and if you sign it
Speaker 1: that means you verified something. He signed it three times,
Speaker 1: but yet he admitted in January, the very same day
Speaker 1: he signed the second fiser application, the first renewal application
Speaker 1: and him signed one thereafter that he couldn't verify what
Speaker 1: even people like Andrew McCabe and Sally Yates said, where
Speaker 1: the bulk of information needed to obtain the warrants to
Speaker 1: spy on a political candidate using a dirty, untrue, debunked
Speaker 1: dossier of the other candidate. And he won't say a
Speaker 1: single nega a word about about Kome Senator. I don't
Speaker 1: really want to get into analyzing previous directors, Garland said.
Speaker 1: He says, well, you've been very political and appropriately so
Speaker 1: at times. I just find its stunning that you can't say,
Speaker 1: in my view that he was a terrible FBHID director. Well,
Speaker 1: if you sign a warrant and you don't have any information,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense. Garland also said today no reason
Speaker 1: why Dorham should be left in place, but the origins
Speaker 1: of the Russian disinformation Probe, which I think pretty much
Speaker 1: says now there we go. That's going to put an
Speaker 1: end to that investigation. We've been waiting forever. Garland said
Speaker 1: the DOGA would advance Biden's pro gun control policies, which,
Speaker 1: as I explained last week, is pretty much the policies.
Speaker 1: Sounds a lot like Beto Bozo. Then you've got the
Speaker 1: candidate Office of Management and Budget. Nina tanded she had
Speaker 1: to delete eleven hundred tweets. And by the way, Susan
Speaker 1: Collins said that she's not going to support her. Doesn't
Speaker 1: look you know, you can't wait for Republicans to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. According to The Independent, disparaging comments about
Speaker 1: Republicans GOP senators, it's heartbreaking that the GOP lied about
Speaker 1: death panels. Well, if there's any lies about Obamacare, that
Speaker 1: would be Joe and Barack claiming that you're going to
Speaker 1: keep your doctor and your plan and average family is
Speaker 1: going to say twenty five hundred dollars per family per year.
Speaker 1: You know some of the election conspiracy information that she supported.
Speaker 1: You know, Stephen Miller shared a screenshot of some of
Speaker 1: her tweets. You know, she helped drive this Russia Russia
Speaker 1: Trump Russia truth or nonsense. You know, she had a
Speaker 1: headline that'said FBI Russian hackers access Florida voter information. It's
Speaker 1: it's just sad. I'm sorry, did I say nearer? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Near a tendon. I want to get things right always.
Speaker 1: But anyway, it looks like that Pick is in deep
Speaker 1: trouble and she vows to target pro Trump protesters. So
Speaker 1: that this is Merrick Garland. Okay, You're gonna have the
Speaker 1: same standards for all protesters, all rioters, because I think
Speaker 1: that we got to stop it wherever it comes from.
Speaker 1: That's my position, pretty consistent. Eight hundred and nine for one,
Speaker 1: Shaun or number. We've got a lot of other news
Speaker 1: to get to. Oh these winner storms. We got an
Speaker 1: interesting segment coming up with jobs Stardi, Mark Morano. You
Speaker 1: want to hear all right, Supreme Court ruling Actually at
Speaker 1: the Grand Jury in New York can see Trump's tax returns.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a prediction here. I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: on a limb because the president released the statement former
Speaker 1: President Trump released a statement in exile, President Trump and exile.
Speaker 1: Depending on whether you want to follow Jim Acosta's line,
Speaker 1: this is gonna go nowhere because they use the best
Speaker 1: accounting firms in the country and the world. With that said,
Speaker 1: we'll see Justice Clarence Thomas in a pretty scathing descent
Speaker 1: today the Supreme Court ruling sixty three to reject the
Speaker 1: review of two Pennsylvania presidential election cases. Justice Samuel Alito
Speaker 1: Neil Gorsa's Clarence Thomas believed they should have been given hearings.
Speaker 1: What Clarence Thomas argued here, The Constitution gives each state
Speaker 1: legislature authority to determine the manner of federal election. Yet
Speaker 1: both before and after the twenty twenty election, non legislative
Speaker 1: officials in various states took it upon themselves to set
Speaker 1: the rules instead, and as a result, we received an
Speaker 1: unusually high number of petitions emergency applications contesting those changes.
Speaker 1: The petitions here present a clear example. The Pennsylvania legislature
Speaker 1: established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail in ballots. By
Speaker 1: the way, and the legislature bypassed their own state constitutionn'
Speaker 1: we've gone in a great detail about this case. And
Speaker 1: then an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail in ballots, and
Speaker 1: then they a state supreme court extended that deadline by
Speaker 1: three days. Then the court also ordered officials to count
Speaker 1: ballots reviewed by the new deadline, etc. Etc. You know,
Speaker 1: if the Supreme Court is not going to weigh in
Speaker 1: on such a critical, crucial, important matter of state law,
Speaker 1: the constitutionally laid out principles of what role state legislators play,
Speaker 1: the process by which you would bypass literally amending a
Speaker 1: state constitution and just by passing a law which would
Speaker 1: be far easier. If that's not a Supreme Court case,
Speaker 1: they should weigh in on. What's the point this should
Speaker 1: have been taken? All right twenty five to the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one Sean,
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of this extravagance. I'm
Speaker 1: reading all these these news articles about so much happening
Speaker 1: at once that nobody seems to know about, like you might.
Speaker 1: I doubt most of you, because we're all busy people, right,
Speaker 1: everyone's busy. You get up in the morning, you shovel
Speaker 1: your coffee down your throat. Maybe you make your kids lunch.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't mean you're throwing some cereal together. You're
Speaker 1: putting on your tie, whatever you wear to work, you're
Speaker 1: putting on your jeans, whatever. And you take your kids
Speaker 1: to school, take them to the school bus, whatever, make
Speaker 1: sure they get on the bus boom, you're off to work.
Speaker 1: You put your twelve fourteen hours in. So, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't really noticing things like Biden's
Speaker 1: move to give up on President Trump's policies to reimpose
Speaker 1: un sanctions on a Ran. You know, Congressman Joe Wilson
Speaker 1: actually said, yeah, this is pretty dangerous because Biden basically
Speaker 1: just legalized Vladimir putin President Chi selling arms to Iran. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be a bad outcome. Then there's a story
Speaker 1: that came out. It's pretty long winded Peace Washington Times,
Speaker 1: but it's it's interesting because you know that if Donald
Speaker 1: Trump were president, you know what would the media be
Speaker 1: saying and doing if that was the case. How there
Speaker 1: was an attempt to undermine the president's tough sanctions on Iran.
Speaker 1: The President obviously wasn't going to send one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty billion in cash and other currency to the Iranian
Speaker 1: mullah's that chant death to America, death to Israel, burn
Speaker 1: our flag, burned the Israeli flag anyway, and they go
Speaker 1: into great specificity in detail. It's a little scary to
Speaker 1: me about how John Kerry was meeting with and forging
Speaker 1: relationships with for example, Mohammed Zarif is his name, and
Speaker 1: how during the Trump years? Well what were they doing,
Speaker 1: because they actually the meeting took place at a point
Speaker 1: in a period when Donald Trump was taking a hard
Speaker 1: line stance against the Iranians. John Kerry's meeting with Zarif
Speaker 1: during the Trump years and as well as the Obama
Speaker 1: era Energy secretary and others tap US negotiators in this
Speaker 1: deal that gave Iran all this money and what was it?
Speaker 1: A wink and a nod. We hope we can beat
Speaker 1: this guy and we'll go things. We'll get back to normal.
Speaker 1: Pretty unbelievable, by the way. More on Nia Tandon for
Speaker 1: OMB directors. Now she's apparently met with thirty five senators
Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle. Questioned really hard by Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: Joe Anon reveal these a no vote, Susan Collins, a
Speaker 1: no vote. This thing's probably dead on arrival. We'll have
Speaker 1: to see the border policy alone. Now we're watching with
Speaker 1: the stroke of the pen all these jobs being you know,
Speaker 1: just gone, high paying career jobs, energy sector. And you
Speaker 1: got Hollywood liberals they're lobbying Joe Biden his administration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get rid of all the pipelines, get rid of all
Speaker 1: energy independence. Sure, it's easy for them to say they're
Speaker 1: not losing their jobs, and all of them are already
Speaker 1: pretty rich anyway, And anyway, what's fascinating is, you know,
Speaker 1: we're looking at, maybe on top of all of the
Speaker 1: people that will get amnesty, estimated between eleven fifteen million,
Speaker 1: depending what statistic you're reading, seventy eight thousand arrivals people
Speaker 1: coming into this country illegally, nearly double the figure for
Speaker 1: the same month last year, the highest for January in
Speaker 1: a decade. And if the current pattern holds, the US
Speaker 1: would be on track for one million more migrants coming
Speaker 1: to this country via the southern border, illegal immigrants. And that's,
Speaker 1: by the way, that warning came from a senior official
Speaker 1: in Obama's department, from Obama's Department of Homeland Security. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So you have the worst pandemic
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventeen and eighteen, all these Americans out of work,
Speaker 1: all this money in aid that is being allocated, and
Speaker 1: by the way, that aid money is not insignificant when
Speaker 1: you dig down deep into the roots of all of
Speaker 1: this and what is it going to cost you? And
Speaker 1: you add the wish list in there of everybody else. Okay,
Speaker 1: that amounts to, according to the New York Post, Democrats
Speaker 1: will be leaving you, the American taxpayers, a tab of
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand dollars per individual, seventy thousand for a family
Speaker 1: of four. When the two trillion dollars relief bills combined
Speaker 1: with the moneys that have already been spent and allocated
Speaker 1: by Congress, it's a lot of money. And a lot
Speaker 1: of this now we're learning, is going to go to states,
Speaker 1: blue state ballouts, a lot of pet projects, and a
Speaker 1: lot of it building out the foundation of what is
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. This is all happening in America
Speaker 1: is not really paying a whole lot of attention. So
Speaker 1: now we're going to have more people out of work.
Speaker 1: We already have enough people out of work. We have
Speaker 1: already have enough businesses shut down, and you have the
Speaker 1: energy sector pretty much getting shut down, and pink slips
Speaker 1: coming out here, there and everywhere, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to move into Okay, now you've got to add all
Speaker 1: these illegal immigrants and amnesty on top of that, all
Speaker 1: these people competing for jobs. You don't need an economics
Speaker 1: degree from Harvard business to figure out that it's going
Speaker 1: to drive wages down even lower. And the aggressive caucus
Speaker 1: chair in Congress, the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,
Speaker 1: thinks that they're going to include the fifteen dollar minimum wage. Well,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of studies that show that's going
Speaker 1: to prevent hiring, especially of young people, students, etc. That's
Speaker 1: not going to work out well for anybody either looking
Speaker 1: to break into the job market one of these kids
Speaker 1: graduating from school. They're also thinking of adding fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars as part of the plan in loan forgiveness. It
Speaker 1: almost makes me wish I never paid back my college
Speaker 1: student loan. I took out a student loan, man oh Man,
Speaker 1: And some of it's not even going to be used
Speaker 1: right away. They're going to pass a two trillion dollars
Speaker 1: spending bill bailouts for state governments that locked down their
Speaker 1: citizens when other state government governments were far more judicious
Speaker 1: and yet did a better job all the way across
Speaker 1: the board. And then you gonna have all these red
Speaker 1: states baling out all these blue states that keep electing
Speaker 1: for decade after decade after decade, the irresponsible Democrats that
Speaker 1: take on all this that never live within their means,
Speaker 1: never balance any budgets, and never pay down their pensions.
Speaker 1: You'll be paying the money. That's how you will be
Speaker 1: rewarded for electing good politicians. It's like I keep saying,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna leave California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna leave Michigan, okay, don't go to Texas,
Speaker 1: Florida or the Carolinas and bring your liberal policies with
Speaker 1: you and keep electing the same people that destroyed the
Speaker 1: state that you you abandoned because of bad policies. Some
Speaker 1: of this money, we're finding out, six hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: billions not even gonna be spent until twenty twenty two. Well,
Speaker 1: how does that? How do we count that as relief moneies?
Speaker 1: Then on top of that another one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: billion it will be withheld for fiscal year twenty twenty four. Well,
Speaker 1: how does that give immediate relief to people? That doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense at all. But we'll have to see
Speaker 1: what happens. But they're trying to include the fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in student loan forgiveness. I doubt it's going to
Speaker 1: be retroactive for we suckers that actually thought if we
Speaker 1: borrowed money, we had to pay it back one day.
Speaker 1: It's a little scary. There's a lot of chatter. It
Speaker 1: was actually one of the things I've been saying. I
Speaker 1: know the media gets mad when I say the President
Speaker 1: Biden looks weak, frail and cognitively, that he struggles, And
Speaker 1: every time that I say it, I back up what
Speaker 1: I say with a pretty long montage. I won't play here,
Speaker 1: and Joe's been struggling. People around the world seem to
Speaker 1: be noticing it as well. In Australia we found this
Speaker 1: report they said it what I think this was before
Speaker 1: the election. Listen, well, look, there's just no doubt at
Speaker 1: all that Biden has had some cognitive decline. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think some of his aides or friends have said
Speaker 1: he's lost his cognitive fastball. Now. Normally, one of the
Speaker 1: great things about an American primary season in presidential campaign
Speaker 1: is that it is the most searching, searing examination of
Speaker 1: a candidate's fitness. But one reason I suspect that Biden
Speaker 1: might actually be quite well ahead in the polls is
Speaker 1: that he's hardly been campaigning in the last week or
Speaker 1: ten days, and that suggests to me that his campaign
Speaker 1: thinks he's well ahead and that the only danger to
Speaker 1: his election now is some catastrophic verbal laps on his part,
Speaker 1: which is always possible. Now. It is true that thirty
Speaker 1: years ago, when he certainly had all his marbles and
Speaker 1: was a smart guy, he was still prone to verbal gaps,
Speaker 1: as was the senior George Bush. But it's impossible to
Speaker 1: watch Biden formed in a spontaneous sitting and not conclude
Speaker 1: that there has been some cognitive decline. I think we're
Speaker 1: one of the few people. We have a name for it.
Speaker 1: We called it the Candidate Protection Program, Hiding in the
Speaker 1: basement bunker. Then the big tech companies they hid the story.
Speaker 1: There was a poll out I think it was one
Speaker 1: in six people said that had they known at the
Speaker 1: time that Joe was, you know, some of the scandals
Speaker 1: that he was involved in an hunter and zero experienced hunter, etc.
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's not a kid, he's fifty
Speaker 1: years old. Amount of moneys were talking about directly related
Speaker 1: to trips on air Force too. That's what the whole
Speaker 1: first impeachment was all about. Anyway, Many now New York
Speaker 1: Post talking about him becoming a part time president. It
Speaker 1: got very weird last Thursday when he postponed that trip
Speaker 1: to Michigan. Remember he was going to tour the FAISA
Speaker 1: vaccine making planned and eight am they call a lit me,
Speaker 1: meaning you're never gonna You're not gonna hear from him
Speaker 1: or see him in public for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: Why because DC got some snow. Planes take off when
Speaker 1: it's snowing all the time. Kamala Harris still went ahead
Speaker 1: with her schedule. They canceled the Michigan trip on Wednesday
Speaker 1: evening before any of the expected four inch snowfall hit
Speaker 1: the ground in Washington. By the way, meanwhile, it wasn't
Speaker 1: even snowy at all in Michigan. I don't know. It
Speaker 1: wasn't the first time Biden canceled the foreign policy speech
Speaker 1: at the State Department this month after DC got a
Speaker 1: whopping two inches of snow. While all these airports have
Speaker 1: plows and the ability to do that. Now we again
Speaker 1: candidate protection program. I don't recall getting an answer before
Speaker 1: the election. Joe Biden is now out in support of
Speaker 1: Sheila Jackson Lee's reparations bill, according to Jensaki. She confirmed
Speaker 1: it on Thursday, that is being considered in the House. Biden,
Speaker 1: this is a weird story. Apparently in two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: appeared on David Letterman and was bragging that he was
Speaker 1: once arrested for trespassing at the Capitol at age twenty one. Now,
Speaker 1: who knows if it's true or not. I mean, he
Speaker 1: does have this pension for lying and not exactly telling
Speaker 1: the truth. We'll have to see. Biden's Interior nominee failed
Speaker 1: to report casino income on Congressional ethics reports. So, but
Speaker 1: what are they really this is now, this is all
Speaker 1: about spending. This is all about the New Green Deal.
Speaker 1: This is all about redistribution. This is what this and
Speaker 1: a lot of it now is. You look at where
Speaker 1: the moneys are going. This is the predicate. This is
Speaker 1: the beginning of the spending. You look at the items
Speaker 1: inside this federal minimum wage increase. Animal They're going to
Speaker 1: spend money three hundred million dollars for animal COVID studies,
Speaker 1: socially disadvantage farmers and ranchers. As we look at what's
Speaker 1: in their student loan outreach, probably forgiveness, money for the
Speaker 1: National Endowment for Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, that's
Speaker 1: back the Institute of Museum and Library Services to a
Speaker 1: NERD million vaccine information. What does that mean? Vaccine information?
Speaker 1: It's everywhere the information. All you need to do is
Speaker 1: hit Google. It's free, you know, just tell everyone to
Speaker 1: Google it. Doctor. Google will tell you anything you need
Speaker 1: and you can go to the official CDC website. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to watch all of this. Well, this
Speaker 1: is going to be a full time, full time job
Speaker 1: getting to the bottom of what this is, the transformation
Speaker 1: that we warned would happen, and all the while, then
Speaker 1: you have other Democrats spent on the back burner for
Speaker 1: a while, cancel culture. You got two House Democrats questioning
Speaker 1: twelve television and content providers on why they would ever
Speaker 1: carry Fox News. Okay, Washington Examiner reporting, do you have
Speaker 1: two California representatives sending letters to television content providers at
Speaker 1: and T, Comcast, Verizon, Why are they carrying news outlets
Speaker 1: to function as misinformation rumor mills? Well, excuse me. Fox
Speaker 1: News wasn't and look not by a long stretch. Does
Speaker 1: everybody on Fox News are they a conservative? As I am?
Speaker 1: As everybody knows, We're not hiding we I'm a member
Speaker 1: of the press. We do breaking news, investigator reporting. We
Speaker 1: actually end up being right when they're wrong all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why Carrot, what are we gonna now try and silence
Speaker 1: voices just because we don't like them? Glad you're with
Speaker 1: us hour to Sean Hannity Show eight hundred nine four one,
Speaker 1: sewn you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: You know, I was watching, you know, all the insanity
Speaker 1: the coverage of well Ted Cruz dropped his daughters in
Speaker 1: cancoon and came right back and that this is despicable.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, what about no show Joe. You know,
Speaker 1: we remember he called a lid on his public schedule
Speaker 1: twice last week. You know, you would think he had
Speaker 1: some time to focus, maybe on what was the Texas
Speaker 1: storm disaster, which has now been going on there for
Speaker 1: nearly a week and still so many people don't have
Speaker 1: their power back. They're freezing, and reports people even burning
Speaker 1: their furniture and fireplaces to stay warm. I've read in
Speaker 1: one place and Biden, you know, okay, declared a national emergency.
Speaker 1: Why why hasn't he been down there? Sixty generators in
Speaker 1: a state of twenty nine million people, where hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of people don't have power, is a drop in
Speaker 1: the bucket. Our friend Joe was start he said, he
Speaker 1: put out an article. He's going to join us in
Speaker 1: a minute, add yet another aspect to the assault on
Speaker 1: the Texas deep freeze and how fossil fuels are now
Speaker 1: also being blamed for what happened with climate change in
Speaker 1: global etc. But he pointed out the cold before the
Speaker 1: five day stretch of this worst winter weather event in
Speaker 1: Texas history, which to his credit, he got in touch
Speaker 1: with us, and I got him in touch with both
Speaker 1: Governor Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz and both were working,
Speaker 1: you know, round the clock in the lead up to this.
Speaker 1: They they've they've got specific details as to everything that
Speaker 1: was coming, as some had downplayed what was on its way.
Speaker 1: But you know when you have a model saying it's
Speaker 1: going to be forty and it's thirty degrees in a
Speaker 1: place like Dallas, and you're having snow in places where
Speaker 1: they don't have plows and sanders and salt machines, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's it's pretty unbelievable here. And then
Speaker 1: you look into the aspect, well, well, how does you
Speaker 1: know here this one of the one of the energy
Speaker 1: capitals of the entire country. You know, you have one
Speaker 1: energy expert saying, as it was in the blaze, the
Speaker 1: real lesson in Texas is their power failure is inadequacy
Speaker 1: of unreliable energy. With as much oil and gas that
Speaker 1: Texas has not to mention their own power grid, why
Speaker 1: would Texas experience these bad power outages? How's it these
Speaker 1: rolling blackouts? You know, it's kind of like a mainstay
Speaker 1: now in places like California. Why Texas? And Alex says
Speaker 1: he believes this guy, Alex Epstein Center for Industrial Progress.
Speaker 1: You know, he says, the fundamental problem is the insistence
Speaker 1: on using unreliable wind and solar energy instead of reliable
Speaker 1: energy cold nuclear, natural gas. And I think it's really
Speaker 1: that simple. And you say, well, and by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't really care if you want to use wind turbines,
Speaker 1: but you got to understand it's a use it or
Speaker 1: lose it proposition. It's not like you have or they
Speaker 1: have the ability to store it anyway. Joining us in
Speaker 1: a second here, we're going to check in with our experts.
Speaker 1: Thosen to what Chuck Schumer says about this. The bottom
Speaker 1: line is Texas thought it could go at it alone
Speaker 1: and built a system that ignored climate change. It was
Speaker 1: not what's called resilient. And now Texas is paying the price.
Speaker 1: I hope they learned the lesson when we built power.
Speaker 1: When we build anything now, we have to take into
Speaker 1: account that climate change is real or people will be
Speaker 1: caught the way the people in Texas were. When I
Speaker 1: wrote the Sandy Deal sixty billion dollars for New York,
Speaker 1: we made sure everything was resilient. When they built back
Speaker 1: the subways, built back, this, built back that they were
Speaker 1: going to be resistant to climate change changes, and we
Speaker 1: have to do that. That's not what happened at all.
Speaker 1: Texas did not want the burdensome regulation of the federal
Speaker 1: government on their own electric grid. That's the point. And
Speaker 1: if anything, it's kind of the opposite of what he's saying.
Speaker 1: Mark Morano's with us, author of Green Fraud and by
Speaker 1: the way, which is just out and it hits the
Speaker 1: fraud of what is the Green New Deal. Joe Bistarti
Speaker 1: WeatherBell dot Com, official meteorologist of this radio program, author
Speaker 1: of the book The Weaponization of Weather and the Phony
Speaker 1: Climate War. All right, Joe BISTARTI, what really caused what
Speaker 1: happened in Texas from your perspective, Well, they've constructed a
Speaker 1: circular firing squad. Let's keep in mind, Senator Schumer is
Speaker 1: selling me books because in my book and the Weaponization,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're doing. And I wrote that thing
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I could see this coming. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that Joe Biden would be president. But now
Speaker 1: that he's president, they're just out in the open and
Speaker 1: they're not bashful or shy about anthe But hey, Senator Schumer,
Speaker 1: you wrote that bill, your Sandy. You didn't write it
Speaker 1: before Sandy, right, so what you know you're sitting there
Speaker 1: criticizing Texas after the fact and years in there I
Speaker 1: wrote the Sandy Bill. Well, the Sandy Bill was after
Speaker 1: Sandy hit. You weren't ready for that, all right, Now,
Speaker 1: as far as what happened in Texas, they sort of
Speaker 1: constructed a circular firing squad in a way where the
Speaker 1: compressors of the natural gas are powered by electricity. And
Speaker 1: if the electrical system, if if your reliance on wind
Speaker 1: turbines start going down, what's going to happen if you're
Speaker 1: powering the compressors by electricity. But there are a bunch
Speaker 1: of things that were going on. Sean from the middle
Speaker 1: of February tenth. I was yelling and screaming as well
Speaker 1: as they could and whoever would listen. But the impeachment,
Speaker 1: of course, was best. Circus was getting in the way
Speaker 1: into your credit. You've stopped for a few minutes to
Speaker 1: make sure that we got the message out to people.
Speaker 1: If I say, the federal government should be mounting a
Speaker 1: response similar to prepositioning for a hurricane a category this
Speaker 1: was a category five hurricane, the winter version of it,
Speaker 1: the worst. This is five days before. This will be
Speaker 1: the worst five days in Texas weather history. And when
Speaker 1: you put maps of eighteen ninety nine on and it's
Speaker 1: different from sale it's going to get cold or whatever.
Speaker 1: When you put the all time record cold weather event on,
Speaker 1: say this is going to challenge it. People should look
Speaker 1: at that. But nobody got in the president's here. Nobody
Speaker 1: was paying attention. And it's not you know, it's not
Speaker 1: all the federal government. But you have to get you
Speaker 1: have to get out in front. To Donald Trump's credit,
Speaker 1: whenever a hurricane was showing up, he was getting things
Speaker 1: out in front and as fast as he could. But
Speaker 1: This was unbelievable what was going on. There was absolutely
Speaker 1: no response at all. And if there was a response,
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I didn't even see them in
Speaker 1: the newspapers the Saturday morning, I was reading the Texas newspapers.
Speaker 1: How well it's been cold before, this will melt to
Speaker 1: offer whatever. But this is all part of the weaponization.
Speaker 1: What did they do as soon as it's done, they
Speaker 1: hide in the bushes, don't say boo, and then come
Speaker 1: out and press their agenda. And that's the shame of
Speaker 1: this climate and weather is all agenda driven. It's no
Speaker 1: longer about the purity of the weather and climate in
Speaker 1: fighting the right answer. And it's really a shame that
Speaker 1: this has happened. And Mark no show, Joe. I mean,
Speaker 1: I got to be clear here. It was reported in
Speaker 1: the Dallas Morning News that Joe Biden declared a major
Speaker 1: disaster for only seventy seven of Texas's two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty four counties. Quote he only wanted to focus on
Speaker 1: the hardest hit parts of the state. Greg Abbott, the governor,
Speaker 1: asked for a declaration that covered the entire state, as
Speaker 1: they're still reeling from this winter storm. Now you have
Speaker 1: this has been a big part of your life work.
Speaker 1: And there was a twenty sixteen study I know you're
Speaker 1: familiar with that seventy three percent of carbon credits provided
Speaker 1: little or no environmental gain, as they supported projects that
Speaker 1: would have happened anyway. What's your take on what really
Speaker 1: went on here? Well, first of all, remember the media's
Speaker 1: take on George W. Bush with Hurricane Katrina. Remember the
Speaker 1: outrage when the famous picture of George Bush looking out
Speaker 1: the plane at the destruction of Katrina, and the outrage
Speaker 1: from the mainstream media. He wasn't on the ground, he
Speaker 1: didn't visit, he flew over, he couldn't be bothered. Where
Speaker 1: is that same outright with outrage? Right now with Joe
Speaker 1: Biden declares a partial disaster area doesn't even show up.
Speaker 1: The only Democrats now who are trying to capitalize or
Speaker 1: the two key Democrats are Schumer and you have AOC
Speaker 1: out there, I guess handing out water bottles or trying
Speaker 1: to do something like that, trying to exploit this, as
Speaker 1: Joe just mentioned, the weaponization of weather. But in terms
Speaker 1: of this whole situation here, there was a great analysis
Speaker 1: by American experiment and they gave they gave a river
Speaker 1: liability score, and basically nuclear got in a natural gas
Speaker 1: and coal got c's and that's only because of the
Speaker 1: lack of weatherization. Wind power got a flat out f.
Speaker 1: And what's interesting on this is if you had to
Speaker 1: rely on more wind power for what happened, Texas would
Speaker 1: have been even more of an energy disaster. The only
Speaker 1: thing keeping the state afloat right now is the nuclear
Speaker 1: and natural gas and coal. And even though they were
Speaker 1: reduced capacity, not because but because it's because of the
Speaker 1: extreme cold and they weren't prepared, but they're still funneling
Speaker 1: the whole state. And the lesson from this, if you
Speaker 1: listen to Schumer aoc Biden, we need more windmills. The
Speaker 1: energy that scored in f is what they want to expand,
Speaker 1: and the energy that can score in a every time
Speaker 1: fossil fuels they want to continue to get rid of.
Speaker 1: And this is this is what we're facing here. It's
Speaker 1: a microcosm of the entire Green New Deal. The more
Speaker 1: their policies fail, the more they want to mandate them.
Speaker 1: And that's the whole unscientific folly of the Green New
Speaker 1: Deal or the Green fraud. My advice Joe was started
Speaker 1: to the great people of Texas is stay out of
Speaker 1: any Washington government interference and regulation and maintain your own
Speaker 1: electric grid. But with the improvements that both of you
Speaker 1: would be suggesting here, and that is less reliance. I mean,
Speaker 1: didn't didn't you say that the wind turbines, Joe, they
Speaker 1: couldn't even they couldn't even work. And it's not what
Speaker 1: happens even store that you could store they were they were,
Speaker 1: they weren't winterized. And and the other thing is, if
Speaker 1: you know how Texas, Texas Arctic outbreaks work. Usually there's
Speaker 1: high pressure over the western part of the state, the
Speaker 1: Arctic high stix of snows into the western part of
Speaker 1: the state, and it's windy in the eastern part of
Speaker 1: the state. There was a warning shot, I believe back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven when those turbines froze up
Speaker 1: and they had rolling blackouts, but the cold in the
Speaker 1: east was not as severe. The thing that I'm involved
Speaker 1: in is preparation. That's what my company does. We have
Speaker 1: one of the biggest construction companies in Texas. They knew
Speaker 1: this was coming a week away. I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: this behind Sean, you knew what was going on too,
Speaker 1: I mean we were, you know, emailing back and forth
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff that was going on. But
Speaker 1: you have to be able to respect nature in what
Speaker 1: nature can do, and not sit there and say you
Speaker 1: did it, he did it, they did it. The fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is you could not have stopped this.
Speaker 1: You could have mitigated it if you got out in front.
Speaker 1: You knew what the weather was going to do. And
Speaker 1: that's where I come in and guess what, it's not
Speaker 1: climate change. It's happened before this Liabi will happen again. Mard. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One thing I've gonna say is you have Schumer out there,
Speaker 1: you have John Carry out there blaming this cold on
Speaker 1: global warming. And this is what they've done for decades now, repeatedly,
Speaker 1: any weather event proves their cause, and so record cold,
Speaker 1: record snows, record ice it's all because we weren't prepared
Speaker 1: for global warming. There's no event that can't falsify their theory.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes this so maddening. In my book,
Speaker 1: I have a whole chat after about how the solutions
Speaker 1: to the the global cooling coming ice age scare th
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies literally merit the solutions of the Green New Deal,
Speaker 1: the environmentalists in the nineteen seventies pushing the you know,
Speaker 1: the ice age scare. We're literally proposing Green New Deal
Speaker 1: style restrictions on America and central planning. It is the
Speaker 1: most amazing thing. They don't miss a beat no matter
Speaker 1: what weather event happens. Their answer is central planning, coercive
Speaker 1: government policies, and shutting down free market capitalism. And in
Speaker 1: a case of Texas, as you like to say, son,
Speaker 1: all of the above energy is fantastic, but you have
Speaker 1: to look at how they got it in Texas, and
Speaker 1: the Texas Public Policy Funation did a studied two years
Speaker 1: ago twenty eighteen, showing that almost all the windmills were
Speaker 1: just subsidies in government mandates. In other words, they would
Speaker 1: not have been built a lot of them because of
Speaker 1: many more were built because they were just subsidies payoffs
Speaker 1: for politicians, lobbyists and developers down there, not because the
Speaker 1: power grid needed it. They should have spent the money
Speaker 1: on weatherizing and preparing the power grid for events like
Speaker 1: this one. All right, thank you both, Mark Morano and
Speaker 1: Joe Bastarting. We appreciate you being with us eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine for one sean our number We'll get to
Speaker 1: your calls next half hour of the program at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour. We've got a lot to focus on,
Speaker 1: not the least of which are the difficulties. Now. The
Speaker 1: Democrats have turned hard against Andrew Cuomo in New York
Speaker 1: and this is literally spiraling downward very fast for him.
Speaker 1: We'll give you an update. You got a minute and
Speaker 1: a half. We'll give it to Mike in Oklahoma next
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Mike, how are you hot? John, Great
Speaker 1: honor to speak with you today. Thank you, my friend,
Speaker 1: it's my honor. What's going on? Thirty seven years in
Speaker 1: the old gas business in drilling and expiration, have been
Speaker 1: out of work since March of last year. I came home,
Speaker 1: bought two trucks two days later, didn't have a job.
Speaker 1: Had to go back to my old thing of being
Speaker 1: a general contractor something I was born into. Would rather
Speaker 1: be drilling whales for a living, but that's the way
Speaker 1: it is. We've got a raising, a co raising a
Speaker 1: thirteen year old granddaughter with my ex and running also
Speaker 1: on top of my construction business, a animal rescue. That's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I love that, you know. Well, first I
Speaker 1: gotta give you props for being able to figure figure
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, when you face a dramatic career
Speaker 1: change like that, it's not often easy. And obviously you've
Speaker 1: found a way. You dug down deep inside you and
Speaker 1: you've you've figured out Okay, I've got a transition out
Speaker 1: of this. But you're just the tip of the spear here.
Speaker 1: You're the tip tip of the iceberg. And all these
Speaker 1: guys that have these specialized skills, yeah, they're all getting
Speaker 1: pink slips. High paying career job's gone with the stroke
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's pen, and not one Democrat seems to care.
Speaker 1: That's it tries me nuts. Hang in there, Mike, We
Speaker 1: wish you all the best. Quick break your calls neck
Speaker 1: half hour straight ahead, all right, twenty five to the
Speaker 1: top of the hour. All right, we'll get to a
Speaker 1: lot of calls here. We'll update you. Cuomo in big
Speaker 1: trouble in New York now Democrats have turned on him.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll give you an update on what's going on there,
Speaker 1: what it means. Remember Joe Biden and once said Andrew
Speaker 1: Cuomo is the gold standard for governors. No, not exactly.
Speaker 1: Floyd and Florida. Floyd, how are you glad you called, sir. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a real honor. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Sean.
Speaker 1: You know, you've raised so many important issues and climate change,
Speaker 1: Cuomo's nursing home desks, big city bailouts and all the rest.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like leadership is really the missing
Speaker 1: issue here, you know, from bad leadership with the Democrats
Speaker 1: to this impotent and vacant leadership that the publican parties.
Speaker 1: And so I'm going to ask you if you would
Speaker 1: please you listen to us. But it seems like the
Speaker 1: establishment dustin and they don't represent us. So please, there's
Speaker 1: two quick requests if you would. You know, when these
Speaker 1: people come out with the narrative that you know you lie,
Speaker 1: they lie, Trump lied, would you please ask them which
Speaker 1: of the tens, which of the which are the more
Speaker 1: than a thousand affidavits which are signed by American whistleblowers
Speaker 1: are lying? Is it the individual who came out with
Speaker 1: the video of the Internet being connected to the voting machines?
Speaker 1: Was that a lie? Was it the nineteen thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred twenty one ballots which were down Trump and up Biden.
Speaker 1: A statistical improbability was that the lie was it the
Speaker 1: American Let me let me stop you right here. They
Speaker 1: don't care what people had to say. They only care
Speaker 1: about whistle blowers if you're a hearsay whistle blower, non whistleblower,
Speaker 1: and if you're an opinion witness or a hearsay witness
Speaker 1: and not a real witness. This defines the left, and
Speaker 1: that includes democratic politicians and the mob and the media
Speaker 1: that protects them. And what you're trying to ask me,
Speaker 1: I think and what I hear is your question is,
Speaker 1: oh are they Are they gonna care at all about
Speaker 1: the truth of the answers. No, they've got an agenda.
Speaker 1: Journalism is dead. And then, of course I read this
Speaker 1: on Deadline today. House democrats query TV channel distributors over
Speaker 1: carriage of misinformation rumor mills like Fox News. Wow, so
Speaker 1: you have Democratic representatives asking, you know, at and T, Comcast, Amazon,
Speaker 1: you know, why do you carry channels that have a
Speaker 1: couple of conservative voices not everybody on Fox News, things
Speaker 1: like Sean Hannity. I think that's pretty clear. I think
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything you don't know and now, but
Speaker 1: but this whole cancel culture or at you know, the
Speaker 1: double standard on witnesses, and you know, whistle blowers. It's obvious, Floyd.
Speaker 1: Don't you see this for what it is? Because I do. Please,
Speaker 1: would you please just consider just consider starting or show
Speaker 1: by just reading one or two of the whistleblowers and
Speaker 1: then move on anything else. But just read one or
Speaker 1: two of them. They're out there, they're from the cases,
Speaker 1: they're easily available, they're all sworn. I think you're the
Speaker 1: only show radio and TV that I know of. I
Speaker 1: don't watch a lot of other two shows, and I
Speaker 1: don't get time to listen to a lot of shows.
Speaker 1: But we put them on the air. We put them
Speaker 1: on this program, we put them on Hannity the TV show.
Speaker 1: Others think that, Yeah, I hear you. It's frustrating double standard.
Speaker 1: Chris Georgia, next Sean Hannity Show. It's up, Chris. Hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on today. Just wanted to call
Speaker 1: and share a little bit about my experience over a
Speaker 1: lifetime with Rush Well and all you guys, really you
Speaker 1: and Mark Levin and the rest of the guys that
Speaker 1: are really just talking about the American people and what's
Speaker 1: going on in Washington. I can't ever remember a time
Speaker 1: not listening to Rush. I grew up listening to Rush.
Speaker 1: When I was eight years old, the only thing I
Speaker 1: wanted for Christmas that year was Rush's book The Way
Speaker 1: Things Ought to Be. I got it. I was the
Speaker 1: only kid on my block with it. But wow, that's funny.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, I don't know. I guess I'm the
Speaker 1: weird kid that was into politics. But hey, Chris, if
Speaker 1: you're the weird kid, I was the same weird kids
Speaker 1: you know in my early teens, you know, staying up
Speaker 1: late at night listening to the radio and the great
Speaker 1: pioneers are talk radio, never dreaming I might have a
Speaker 1: chance to do this one day. Well, I can tell
Speaker 1: you the only reason I was allowed to stay up
Speaker 1: late is when Russia's show was on late. Me and
Speaker 1: my mom would watch together. It's TV show. I have
Speaker 1: a great story if you want to hear a quick one.
Speaker 1: I brought up a group of winners. I was a
Speaker 1: local host in Atlanta at the time. I think I've
Speaker 1: explained my story. I've traveled around it, lived in five
Speaker 1: different states, and this radio journey of mine and TV
Speaker 1: journey of mine, and I was in Atlanta. We had
Speaker 1: a contest and I actually took a group of winners
Speaker 1: listeners up to New York and we went to Russia's
Speaker 1: TV show and he was I don't think he hardly
Speaker 1: knew me, and he brought me out during the show
Speaker 1: and me a Rush tie. I have that tie to
Speaker 1: this day. I remember, I remember you on the air
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. That's that's where I'm from. And I
Speaker 1: mean Rush to me was he gave the working American,
Speaker 1: the average American a voice as to what was going on.
Speaker 1: And Rush also he worked for what he had. And
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like with today's administration that you know,
Speaker 1: guys like me are the anomaly with this situation, we're
Speaker 1: being told that we can't make it without government help.
Speaker 1: My mom raised three kids by herself. She worked five
Speaker 1: or six jobs. We cleaned offices on the weekend. She
Speaker 1: put us through private school. You know, we're not supposed
Speaker 1: to be able to outlive our parents unless we have
Speaker 1: help for the government. We're all doing better. You know,
Speaker 1: I've worked my tail off to get where I'm at
Speaker 1: in life, and by no means my a wealthy man.
Speaker 1: But you know we can get by. And you know,
Speaker 1: just for guys like you on the air, that that
Speaker 1: show the truth and rush to show the truth about
Speaker 1: what they want to try and do and how they
Speaker 1: want to try and taxes. You know, one of the
Speaker 1: first things I learned in life is nothing's free. So
Speaker 1: when they talk about all this stuff, I know it's
Speaker 1: coming out of my pocket, in my tax dollars, and
Speaker 1: I'd like to have more of a say where those go,
Speaker 1: for sure, instead of just letting these guys run rampant
Speaker 1: with my money. Listen, there's a lot of things, Chris,
Speaker 1: that we've got to understand here. The people that will
Speaker 1: suffer the most under these redistribution policies that are now
Speaker 1: being implemented as we speak every day are going to
Speaker 1: be working men and women. Immigration alone is going to
Speaker 1: result with amnesty and open borders in millions and millions
Speaker 1: of other people coming into a country as we still
Speaker 1: are suffering, the economy suffering under the pandemic, and they're
Speaker 1: going to be competing for fewer and fewer jobs available now,
Speaker 1: all these jobs lost in the energy secord, people there
Speaker 1: too will be competing for these jobs. It's going to
Speaker 1: drive down wages, it's going to create more dependency. This
Speaker 1: is one oh One's socialism and it's long history of
Speaker 1: miserable failure. And it's it's why I am a conservative,
Speaker 1: and this issue of the borders is a real issue.
Speaker 1: And we're at this point pre COVID where all of
Speaker 1: these unemployment records were shattered for demographic groups that liberals
Speaker 1: always said they had a monopoly of compassion for no freedom, liberty,
Speaker 1: less bureaucracy, lower taxes, energy independence, those three things that
Speaker 1: that triangle created jobs and opportunities for every American. And
Speaker 1: guess what if you just implement those simple principles, we
Speaker 1: the people succeed because I have faith in the individual.
Speaker 1: Every single person has a natural drive to succeed. It's
Speaker 1: like you know and and thank you for a good call.
Speaker 1: It's like kids in schools. You're not gonna keep score
Speaker 1: and every kid gets a trophy. They're gonna keep score
Speaker 1: anyway then, and they want to win. It's instinctive in
Speaker 1: people's and now some have different things they want to
Speaker 1: win at that's their God given individual talent and their
Speaker 1: God given interests. But people have a natural drive and
Speaker 1: that gets stifled under a system on which well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take care of everything for you. Why bother anyway,
Speaker 1: good call, Appreciate it. Eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: shot and Sean, if you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. Laura North Carolina, Hey, Laura, how are
Speaker 1: you glad you called? Hey? Sean? Um, I am furious
Speaker 1: and absolutely scared of what's going on. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: call it campful of culture. I'm gonna call it gulag
Speaker 1: culture because we're moving towards the Soviet Union style government
Speaker 1: and it's being perpetuated by the Democrats, but it's also
Speaker 1: being perpetuated by the silence and then inactivity of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party because they want to stay in the swamp,
Speaker 1: a lot of them and they're glad that Trump is gone.
Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistaken, all of them, the Republicans, Democrats, independent,
Speaker 1: whatever you call yourself, took an oath of office when
Speaker 1: they came in to protect and defend the Constitution and
Speaker 1: all our other founding documents. And what I see right
Speaker 1: now from everybody in the Democrat Party and so I'm
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party, is they're not doing that. And
Speaker 1: I'm really mad the Republicans, I mean, the Democrats. We
Speaker 1: could expect that. So after thirty one days, I can't
Speaker 1: even believe how much damage. Joe Biden's already done. But
Speaker 1: the Republicans are sitting back with in fighting and or
Speaker 1: by omission and silence, not doing anything, and them to
Speaker 1: know that they don't do anything, their jobs and their
Speaker 1: coushy swamp is going to be gone for them either way.
Speaker 1: Step up, let me, let me add a couple of
Speaker 1: things you say. There's a lot to break down on
Speaker 1: what you're saying here. And look, I'll quote the great
Speaker 1: one Mark Mark Levin. This is a post constitutional America.
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw that. Why have a Supreme Court
Speaker 1: if they're not going to take on a case whether
Speaker 1: state constitutions are relevant? Well, it's after the election, it's
Speaker 1: a move point. Well, no, it's a relevant constitutional principle
Speaker 1: to do. State legislators just just willy nilly, just get
Speaker 1: to randomly bypass the process by which one is to
Speaker 1: make a constitutional amendment through legislation where you don't need us.
Speaker 1: It's a far easier process to change things, all right.
Speaker 1: That's one. And you have the Democrats now as a
Speaker 1: party have been radicalized. This is a radical, extreme socialist agenda.
Speaker 1: We've never had a major political party in the country
Speaker 1: reached that far that extreme to the left, that is
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. They control the party. Then you've got
Speaker 1: Republicans too, many of them that are so weak it
Speaker 1: would they like to purge the Trump supporters and go
Speaker 1: back to quote the good old days of losing and
Speaker 1: and water down Democratic Party light Yeah, they would, but
Speaker 1: if they could. But I think there's been an awakening
Speaker 1: in this country, and I think people are significantly aware.
Speaker 1: And if they would, if Republicans would follow just the
Speaker 1: simple principles that Trump showed works, it's not that complicated.
Speaker 1: I've been running through my list. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do the whole list now. Cutting taxes, ending bureaucracies, school choice,
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, First Amendment, constitutionalist justice's energy, independence, secure borders,
Speaker 1: peace or strength. It's not complicated. This is and then
Speaker 1: but if you if you make a promise, then fight
Speaker 1: to keep your promises. And if you do, then we're
Speaker 1: gonna win, because conservatism wins. Conservatism as a political philosophy
Speaker 1: is the best system ever designed by man, and it's
Speaker 1: predicated on great principles of liberty, individualism, freedom, natural god
Speaker 1: given rights, not government granted anything, not equal results, equal opportunity,
Speaker 1: and you always pursue a more perfect union. It's it's
Speaker 1: not hard. More quick call. We have a little over
Speaker 1: a minute, Peter and Texas. It's all yours. Good luck
Speaker 1: with your use of it. Yeah, Sean, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to tell you that we basically had a free road
Speaker 1: trip to the Third World down here, as you may
Speaker 1: or may not know. You know Thomas war On Co
Speaker 1: two and they're trying to shut us down. And also
Speaker 1: they've been trying to nationalize our grid using every excuse
Speaker 1: but four days without heat or electricity. It was four
Speaker 1: degrees outside my top, four thirty two degrees when tottrofosion.
Speaker 1: But I'm not complaining. I did winter campous as a
Speaker 1: boy scout. It was about the older folks. The senior
Speaker 1: centers went down. My girl had to go over to
Speaker 1: her mom's who was in a senior center for three days,
Speaker 1: and hug her at night to keep her warm. It's
Speaker 1: it's all. It's heartbreaking. And I will tell you. My
Speaker 1: recommendation to my friends in Texas, and Rick Perry made
Speaker 1: me an honorary Texan and I'm honored by it is
Speaker 1: you honestly stay away from government, federal government regulation, but
Speaker 1: make sure your grid is strength in moving forward anyway,
Speaker 1: my niece who has two young My goddaughter has two
Speaker 1: young kids, lives in Houston, and after the last storm,
Speaker 1: I bought her a generator. I got a thousand. Thank you,
Speaker 1: she says. Half the neighborhood deliver with her. Anyway, quick
Speaker 1: break right back, We'll continue on the other side. News
Speaker 1: round Up Information Overload Hour. Next all right, News Round
Speaker 1: Up Information Overload Hour, Sean Hannity Show, one bit of
Speaker 1: good news. I'm not going to spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time on it because all of the quote experts, you know,
Speaker 1: every model, every prediction, every everything when it comes to coronavirus,
Speaker 1: they got it wrong. And what like less than a
Speaker 1: month ago, Fauci saying, were two masks wear no mask?
Speaker 1: I mean early on, I'm kind of sick of the
Speaker 1: whole thing. And Megan McCain even said, enough tired of
Speaker 1: Fauci playing politics every time he's on TV. It's getting old.
Speaker 1: But there is a guy from John's Hopkins, an expert
Speaker 1: of predicting that COVID heard immunity will be in place
Speaker 1: sometime by April, and that's not going to be into
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, is as Fauci is saying, let's see
Speaker 1: who ends up being right on that one. You know,
Speaker 1: some six stories to share. They have a body cam
Speaker 1: video showing a Florida woman getting busted dressing up as
Speaker 1: a granny to get a vaccine and jump the line.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with people? I mean, it's just unbelievable
Speaker 1: to me. I'd never think of jumping the line. When
Speaker 1: your number gets called, your name gets called, gets called.
Speaker 1: There is huge backlash now in the state of New
Speaker 1: York as it relates to all things Andrew Cuomo. New
Speaker 1: York State Republicans. They want an impeachment commission to investigate
Speaker 1: uh Cuomo's COVID scandal. It's it's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: see AOC is called for a full investigation of Pomo's
Speaker 1: handling them nursing homes during the pandemic, which is which
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. You have, you know, some Democratic Senator
Speaker 1: Ed Markey from Massachusetts saying that racial justice should be
Speaker 1: the number one priority in vaccinating people. How about how
Speaker 1: about we give it to the people that are at
Speaker 1: most at risk, elderly, preexisting conditions, comorbidities, compromised immune systems. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we've got to take care of those people on the
Speaker 1: front lines of the virus every day. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's first and foremost. A big fight is broken out
Speaker 1: in New York with a New York Assemblyman, Ron Kim,
Speaker 1: who's claiming Cuomo threatened him in his career and will
Speaker 1: play that, and then Andrew Cuomo saying, well, I'm going
Speaker 1: to take onlines about the nursing home scandal, but now
Speaker 1: you have Now you have Republicans and Democrats saying that
Speaker 1: they might impeach Cuomo, which is going to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how they'd be able to do it. So
Speaker 1: it was last Thursday night I was about to bathe
Speaker 1: my three kids when I received a call from the governor.
Speaker 1: He spent ten minutes threatening my career and ordering me
Speaker 1: to issue a statement that would be used to cover
Speaker 1: for the state secretary. The day before that call, the
Speaker 1: State Secretary, Melissa de Rosa, had implicated his administration by
Speaker 1: admitting that they withheld life saving nursing home data because
Speaker 1: they feared the information would be used against them. Well,
Speaker 1: you hired a lawyer in the wake of this call.
Speaker 1: Why what exactly did you understand Cuomo to be asking
Speaker 1: you to do? I hired a lawyer after this call
Speaker 1: not only after his call, but after many calls, many
Speaker 1: other attempts over the weekend. And this was a weekend
Speaker 1: for my family. It was a little New Year weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm spending my time, and I got about eight phone
Speaker 1: calls from the Governor and his staff, and I realized
Speaker 1: that he's continue to ask me to cover up for
Speaker 1: a secretary. And I realized that at that point I
Speaker 1: needed to get an attorney, which I did over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let New Yorkers be lied to.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let you hurt New Yorkers by
Speaker 1: lying about what happened surrounding the death of a loved one.
Speaker 1: I see that as my job, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: do it aggressively because you have no right to lie,
Speaker 1: and you have no right to hurt people. I don't
Speaker 1: care if it's your politics. You can't lie and cause
Speaker 1: pain to people who are innocent bystanders to all of this.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to take on the lies and the
Speaker 1: unscrupulous actors, especially when they cause pain and damage to
Speaker 1: New Yorkers. I should have done it before, and I
Speaker 1: should have done it more aggressively. Joining us now. Betsy McCoy,
Speaker 1: former Lieutenant Governor of the Great State of New York
Speaker 1: and the chairwoman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths.
Speaker 1: Mark Simona's with us. He's the host of New York's
Speaker 1: number one morning show, our main affiliate New York, our
Speaker 1: flagship AM seven ten w O R. Thank you both
Speaker 1: for being with us. I read your peace Betsy McCoy
Speaker 1: about Andrew Cuomo, and now we've got these threats. These
Speaker 1: are Democrats speaking here. These are not just Republicans that
Speaker 1: are furious with him. That's right. And now that we
Speaker 1: see the democratic wall of silence within the state breaking,
Speaker 1: this is going to be just the beginning. You're gonna
Speaker 1: hear more about Clomo's other misdeeds and crimes because the
Speaker 1: Clomo administration has been mired in corruption for years, most
Speaker 1: notably when Clomo would fund these poondoggle projects up stake,
Speaker 1: give large amounts of state tax dollars to businesses, and coincidentally,
Speaker 1: the recipients would make large donations to Cuomo's reelection campaign.
Speaker 1: But as long as only money was at stake, New
Speaker 1: Yorkers didn't become so outraged. Now that they're losing not
Speaker 1: just their money but their relatives, they're best friends. There's
Speaker 1: going to be hell to pay. And the fact is
Speaker 1: the Democrats are joining the criticism. They will leak the
Speaker 1: other things that Cuomo was done. And this is the
Speaker 1: beginning of the end for this man. After I'll remember
Speaker 1: Joseph Percoco, his top aid, is now doing time in
Speaker 1: a federal prison for corruption. Well, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: just about every leader in the Senate or the state house,
Speaker 1: state assembly men and women. I mean, anybody that ever
Speaker 1: makes it to leadership usually ends up being tried for
Speaker 1: some crime, some corruption of some type. We are well
Speaker 1: aware of Mark Simone watching this. I mean, Albany is
Speaker 1: just a cesspool of all cesspools. But these are Democrats
Speaker 1: now saying that they, I guess the sick and tired
Speaker 1: of the way Cuomo's treated him over now now in
Speaker 1: his third term. Yeah, first it was this assemblyman Kim
Speaker 1: then Rob Asterino, prominent politician near in New York, said
Speaker 1: he was threatened in the same way. Political had a story.
Speaker 1: They found half a dozen people who were threatened. It's real.
Speaker 1: Mayor Deblasio said, that's typical Cuomo. But you're not giving
Speaker 1: him credit. You gotta give me he deserved that. Emmy
Speaker 1: That was incredible acting. That was the greatest acting I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. You know, he has people all over the
Speaker 1: country convinced that he's a brilliant governor. I hear it
Speaker 1: from people all the time, so lucky to have him.
Speaker 1: They don't realize he's been a total disaster. The state
Speaker 1: is totally bankrupt, sixty three billion in debt, and that
Speaker 1: was the case even before the pandemic. He signed the
Speaker 1: craziest law releasing violent prisoners with no bail. We got
Speaker 1: the biggest crime spike in history. We had riots all
Speaker 1: over New York. He refused to send any National Guard.
Speaker 1: If they're not for that, what are they for? The
Speaker 1: biggest exodus from any state ever. We've lost so many people,
Speaker 1: were probably gonna lose two congressional seats. He's the name
Speaker 1: realtor of the year for Florida, not for New York.
Speaker 1: He's covered up, he's destructed, he's threatened and bullied. But
Speaker 1: watched TV. Boy looks like a great governor on TV.
Speaker 1: And how come nobody ever said, why does this guy
Speaker 1: have two hours a day in the middle of a
Speaker 1: crisis to do these TV shows? Well that we're probably
Speaker 1: prepared by staff, But I mean, the big problem he
Speaker 1: now has is that we have now a real person,
Speaker 1: not a hearsay whistle blower, but a real whistle blower
Speaker 1: that stated affirmatively that they purposely hid the information on
Speaker 1: what really happened, in other words, the real death toll
Speaker 1: in the nursing homes. And just to back track here
Speaker 1: for a second, it was totally unnecessary. As all of
Speaker 1: these beds that Donald Trump built and Donald Trump manned,
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump provided every single thing that was needed
Speaker 1: from medicines to gloves and gowns and shields and masks
Speaker 1: and everything in between, eighty percent of the Javits Center
Speaker 1: remained empty. The same with the Navy Hospital Ship Mercy.
Speaker 1: It's not like we didn't have a place to send
Speaker 1: sick people before you put them back in nursing homes.
Speaker 1: That was screaming. They didn't have the ability to take
Speaker 1: care of them. And now we're beginning to hear all
Speaker 1: these horror stories and he's lashed out at everybody except
Speaker 1: take any responsibility. Betsey McCoy, that's right, and he lied
Speaker 1: from the beginning when he issued that mandate on March
Speaker 1: twenty fifth for the nursing homes to take patients being
Speaker 1: discharged from the hospital for having COVID and barring the
Speaker 1: nursing homes from even testing them. They had to fly blind.
Speaker 1: Many patient advocates warned him that day, including my organization
Speaker 1: Reduce Infection Desks, usual a statement that day, this will
Speaker 1: cause thousands of lives. And that's exactly what happened. By April,
Speaker 1: the corpses were mounting up in some nursing home Sean
Speaker 1: they left the dead in bed next to their live
Speaker 1: roommates because they had no place to put these deceased patients.
Speaker 1: And yet Cuomo and his health department deliberately, and we
Speaker 1: had the proof from April on, deliberately concealed it. They
Speaker 1: deliberately concealed the deaths that occurred when these people were
Speaker 1: infected with COVID, and lied again and again and again
Speaker 1: about it through April, May, June, July. And now, of
Speaker 1: course they are probably going to face some sort of
Speaker 1: federal charges because it is illegal to conceal information or
Speaker 1: a lot of the federal government about these things. You know.
Speaker 1: I look at New York City. There were four pages,
Speaker 1: full pages of the New York Post today mark dedicated
Speaker 1: to showing every store, every shop every restaurant shut down
Speaker 1: in New York City. How do you possibly bring that
Speaker 1: city back to life. He's wiped out twelve thousand restaurants
Speaker 1: small businesses in New York City. I think the latest
Speaker 1: number is forty seven percent. Small businesses are still closed
Speaker 1: in New York City, can't reopen. He's been a total disaster.
Speaker 1: Revenue is down sixty percent in New York, it's got
Speaker 1: the biggest exitus going. If he tries to raise taxes.
Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that he went to Washington beg
Speaker 1: for fifty billion last week, he shows you how bad
Speaker 1: a governor he is. Let me point out also, though,
Speaker 1: that Schumer, one of Sean's favorite people, is marching around
Speaker 1: the state bragging about this restaurant bill that he claims
Speaker 1: to be part of the stimulus bill, twenty five billion
Speaker 1: dollars in eight for restaurants. But read the fine print
Speaker 1: as I did just a few minutes ago, and the
Speaker 1: fact is white owners, white men, for the most part,
Speaker 1: have to go to the back of the line. This money,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of money is reserved from minority
Speaker 1: owners of restaurants and women owners of restaurants. As if
Speaker 1: all owners of restaurants aren't struggling struggling during this time.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel so sorry. I mean, you look
Speaker 1: at these people. I mean, these are livelihoods people. And
Speaker 1: some restaurants Mark I mean that have been there, Landmark
Speaker 1: restaurants closing down left and right and all over the place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why should we deal with racist and sexist legislation to
Speaker 1: help them? Yeah? The owners tell me that the employees,
Speaker 1: the waiters, the staff, they can't work, so they got
Speaker 1: to work. So they're all taking the train the bus
Speaker 1: to New Jersey and they're working there. So give Cuomo credit.
Speaker 1: He's creating jobs in New Jersey. Uh, we don't know.
Speaker 1: That's creating jobs everywhere, but in New York because there's
Speaker 1: a mass exodus. Even Wall Street is saying they're going
Speaker 1: to get the hell out of here, and many of
Speaker 1: those companies are getting out of here. Also. You know,
Speaker 1: you this is an important insight into Cuomo. You had
Speaker 1: them on at one point during this crisis for about
Speaker 1: an hour, and you couldn't have been nicer, politer. He
Speaker 1: just asked him all the legitimate questions and really made
Speaker 1: him talk about this stuffing. You know, he never came
Speaker 1: back ever again from why is there not a nationwide
Speaker 1: stay at home. Well, look, I think we're in a
Speaker 1: position where I think every state is going to have
Speaker 1: to be moving in that direction and demonstrates that it
Speaker 1: does bend that curve a little bit. It does increase
Speaker 1: the prospects that fewer people are going to catch the virus.
Speaker 1: And the answer is, I don't fully know. We've been
Speaker 1: leaving it to the governors. Thank god, the governors have
Speaker 1: been moving. You're governor New York's done one hell of
Speaker 1: a job. I think he's he's sort of the goal standard.
Speaker 1: He ended up being No, not quite the gold standard
Speaker 1: would probably go to DeSantis or Christy Gnome or any
Speaker 1: of the Republican governors. It's been a disaster in New York,
Speaker 1: California in particular. Final thoughts from Betsy mc former Lieutenant
Speaker 1: Governor of New York. Mark simone Um number one host
Speaker 1: on our affiliate here in New York AM seven ten
Speaker 1: w O R. I mean, Mark, it is a little
Speaker 1: bit of a joke. But he did get the Emmy,
Speaker 1: he did write the book, he did have his power
Speaker 1: points every day, sounded authoritative and Trumps built him everything
Speaker 1: and he never used it. Yeah, No, he deserves that
Speaker 1: Emmy should get a job playing governor. You're caught up
Speaker 1: in the Emmy. Yeah, but I think he's got a
Speaker 1: criminal problem, a for withholding obstructing it. But Assemblyman Kim,
Speaker 1: remember the point of the threats. He wanted him to
Speaker 1: change his story. That to me sounds like potential witness tampering. Then,
Speaker 1: and Betsy, you had the unfortunate that New York doesn't
Speaker 1: have recall. Or we could give him the Gavin Newsom treatment.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure we there are votes are there
Speaker 1: for him To remove him from office? You need two
Speaker 1: thirds of the Senate plus the top judges in the state.
Speaker 1: But at the point the whistle blower said, they manipulated
Speaker 1: and held back the true numbers for purposes of obstructing
Speaker 1: a Justice Department investigation. At least at the least they
Speaker 1: should strip him of his emergency powers. He can't be
Speaker 1: king Cuomo anymore. Well, let's see what happens. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna hold my breath on that mark.
Speaker 1: You think that happens, Well, I think if you've got
Speaker 1: a time machine you came back in a hundred years,
Speaker 1: you'd still be waiting for the Durham Report. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope it does. I really hope
Speaker 1: it does. All right, Thank you both, appreciate it. Betsy McCoy,
Speaker 1: Mark Simone. We'll check in with Ali North and your
Speaker 1: calls coming up. Final half hour, eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one. Sean, you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program as we continue standing up for what's right
Speaker 1: with America. We're back on the Sean Hannity Show, all right,
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour, will get
Speaker 1: to your calls and mere moments. Our good friend Colonel
Speaker 1: Oliver North's back with us to talk about a few
Speaker 1: things here. Talent on loan from God. You wrote a
Speaker 1: great column on Rush and his passing, and uh, you
Speaker 1: know when he said that, it was amazing to me
Speaker 1: because we didn't refer to people back in the day
Speaker 1: as snowflakes. Now we have a turn for it, snowflakes
Speaker 1: woke ness, if you will. But people would just be
Speaker 1: like outraged over that, or half my brain typed behind
Speaker 1: my back just to make it fair. Clearly, tongue gently
Speaker 1: placed in cheek and humorless people on the left just
Speaker 1: you know, couldn't deal with it. But pretty amazing life
Speaker 1: he led and leading a movement now for thirty some
Speaker 1: odd years. You know, nobody can replace him. Colonel North,
Speaker 1: how are you, my friend? Well, you're close, You're the
Speaker 1: next one in line. No, no, thank you, But I
Speaker 1: think we all need to up our game to honor
Speaker 1: his real wish. That's my answer. Well, he really wished
Speaker 1: that America would still be called great and wonderful and
Speaker 1: offer opportunity. And that comment about you know, with talent
Speaker 1: from God, in fact, isn't hubris. It's it's humility. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got your talent, I got my talent. Our gifts
Speaker 1: are different in many cases, but it all comes from God.
Speaker 1: And Rush was acknowledging that every time he said it,
Speaker 1: which is another reason why the fire left goes nuts,
Speaker 1: because I don't think they believe in God. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they do believe in other than selfishness instead
Speaker 1: instead of selflessness, they don't they don't recognize that. The
Speaker 1: remarkable perseverance of our friend. You know, he had so
Speaker 1: many times tried in various places as you and I
Speaker 1: have to do different things, and finally succeeded at thirty
Speaker 1: three years of remarkable broadcasting was the literally created salvation
Speaker 1: for talk radio. I mean, and on top of that,
Speaker 1: gave waste to the concerns of conservatives all over America.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to thirty seven, depending on whose numbers you believe,
Speaker 1: million people listened to regularly to Russia Limbaugh, Oh my,
Speaker 1: I mean, and they influence he's had, and frankly, the
Speaker 1: an entire industry built because of the trailblazing, the path
Speaker 1: that he forged. It's you know, never really to be duplicated,
Speaker 1: and and so many people it's just a void I
Speaker 1: mean that you cannot deny. He defined modern day conservatism
Speaker 1: and educated us all for now, you know, at thirty
Speaker 1: three years on the air, and you know, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just a void that will be with us. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine any any big event happening and not hearing
Speaker 1: what he asked to say. You know, let me give
Speaker 1: you one big event. You know, people they just don't
Speaker 1: like anything that we say on the radio. It seems they,
Speaker 1: you know, this whole canceled culture has existed, your time
Speaker 1: in radio, your time in the media. They want any
Speaker 1: voice they don't agree with. The left does silenced, and
Speaker 1: I was one of the things I've been saying that
Speaker 1: seems to really irritate the left. And I said it
Speaker 1: all through the campaign, and Joe becomes president and I
Speaker 1: state the obvious, he doesn't have that spring in his step.
Speaker 1: I would argue that he had four years ago when
Speaker 1: he left. And it's it's dramatic to me. That's my opinion,
Speaker 1: it's the opinion of many others too. The scariest part
Speaker 1: of that equation is that foreign leaders hostile regimes of
Speaker 1: Putin and she and the Mullahs in Iran and other
Speaker 1: countries that hate our guts, they're not They're not stupid.
Speaker 1: They might be evil, but they're not stupid. And I
Speaker 1: found this Australian Sky News report and the media down
Speaker 1: Under saying what I'm saying. They just came flat out
Speaker 1: and said it that there's no doubt Joe is in
Speaker 1: cognitive decline. Let'sten to what they said. Well, look, there's
Speaker 1: just no doubt at all that Biden has had some
Speaker 1: cognitive decline. I mean, I think some of his aides
Speaker 1: or friends have said he's lost his cognitive fastball. Now,
Speaker 1: normally one of the great things about an American primary
Speaker 1: season in presidential campaign is that it is the most searching,
Speaker 1: searing examination of a candidate's fitness. It's impossible to watch
Speaker 1: Biden perform in a spontaneous setting and not conclude that
Speaker 1: there has been some cognitive decline. But please clarify specifically,
Speaker 1: have you taken a cognitive No, I haven't taken a test.
Speaker 1: Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's like saying you before you got in this program,
Speaker 1: if you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not?
Speaker 1: What you are? You a jodys look And I can
Speaker 1: play those all day. Oh, you know and dowed by
Speaker 1: all the thing? You know, the thing you know, God,
Speaker 1: the creator of everything. Um, And I'm not sure there's
Speaker 1: some ambiguity is to win those fassette either before the
Speaker 1: election or after. But I'm like, why, Well, if foreign
Speaker 1: countries are saying this, that was my point, it's scary. Well,
Speaker 1: on top of it, you don't. We don't have Russia
Speaker 1: limbo anymore. We've got you and maybe one or two
Speaker 1: others that are regional. But the bottom line of it
Speaker 1: is there's nobody out there besides you and a handful
Speaker 1: of others who can give voice to the concerns of
Speaker 1: the American people. And the reason why Russia had so
Speaker 1: many listeners is he gave voice to things that they felt.
Speaker 1: And you and I know this happens because it happens
Speaker 1: to us a lot. People will walk up to you
Speaker 1: afterwards and quote what Russia Limbo had said a few
Speaker 1: hours before or a few days before, and he gave
Speaker 1: them the stimulus to do that. The frightening thing about
Speaker 1: what's happening under this administration is that they've taken not
Speaker 1: just a moderate terms to the left. These guys have
Speaker 1: gone far left one eighty from what President Trump was
Speaker 1: doing and everything both domestically and diplomatically in foreign policy.
Speaker 1: Just the other day he made the speech over at
Speaker 1: the State Department, and he admitted that he talked on
Speaker 1: the phone for two hours for the sieging ping who
Speaker 1: is America's number one adversary on the planet Earth, And
Speaker 1: it took him over a month to call bb net
Speaker 1: and Yahoo. If you look at those kinds of things
Speaker 1: and the efforts to denigrate what President Trump did, it
Speaker 1: makes the country weaker every single day he does it.
Speaker 1: And how does this all play out? Now? You see
Speaker 1: that the court packing is being now looked into. You
Speaker 1: see the DC statehood, Puerto Rico statedod is being left
Speaker 1: and looked into. Now you see open borders, you see amnesty,
Speaker 1: you see energy dependence getting away and all these high
Speaker 1: paying career jobs wiped out. Then you see the radical
Speaker 1: radicals now that Joe's appointing, and we've been going through
Speaker 1: some of the history of some of them. Then you
Speaker 1: look at the Green New Deal. Then you add to that,
Speaker 1: you know, look at all the pork buried in the
Speaker 1: COVID relief bill and state bailout moneies that are going
Speaker 1: out there. And I'm thinking, this is going to be
Speaker 1: everything that I tried to tell people would happen ahead
Speaker 1: of time. It's now happening, and maybe even worse than
Speaker 1: I predicted. Well, I think in many respects it's worse
Speaker 1: than any of us thought possible. Look what he's doing
Speaker 1: in the military. I mean, we've had rules on the
Speaker 1: books a long time about affiliations of the wrong kind
Speaker 1: of people and publications and the like inside the military.
Speaker 1: He's now got the new sect deaf issuing guidance that
Speaker 1: within the next sixty days. It's actually started in the
Speaker 1: third of February. Within that sixty day period, every unit
Speaker 1: in the US military Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
Speaker 1: and the Coast Guard, if they're activated, have to do
Speaker 1: a standdown. This does nothing for military readiness, but it
Speaker 1: allows them to go back and turned soldier, sailors, AIRMoN
Speaker 1: gardsman wrines against one another. And if you look at
Speaker 1: that kind of thing happening instead of out their training
Speaker 1: and getting ready and doing desterance operations like the efforts
Speaker 1: to open up the South China. See if you look
Speaker 1: at the kinds of things that China is doing in
Speaker 1: the underbelly of Africa. The Sub Saharan Africa is owned
Speaker 1: by the People's Republic of China because of the so
Speaker 1: called Belton Road initiatives that they've done. You know, the
Speaker 1: very first book published by my new publishing company was
Speaker 1: about America's number one adversary, the book that we've got
Speaker 1: out right now, which talks about what the heck is
Speaker 1: happening to our armed forces. The title of it Vietnam
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Veteran's Lament? Is this the America our heroes
Speaker 1: fought for? If you look at the comments in there,
Speaker 1: it's exactly what you and I believe, And none of
Speaker 1: it is being done properly by this administration. And I
Speaker 1: got eighteen grand kids. Okay, I'm not worried about Betsy
Speaker 1: and me. We've done justifying our kids are going to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's my grandkids that I'm so concerned about. My grandkids
Speaker 1: are going to be denied the kinds of freedom, liberty,
Speaker 1: opportunity that you and I've enjoyed all our lives. And
Speaker 1: we did that because we had people in Washington and
Speaker 1: of the state capitals who cared about it. You want
Speaker 1: to see how things are going to go with the
Speaker 1: so called Green New Deal and what they just did
Speaker 1: by rejoining the so called Paris Climate Accord. Texas is
Speaker 1: an example of what of the devastation we're going to
Speaker 1: have because we're in a no longer going to be
Speaker 1: into any energy independent because of what he did with
Speaker 1: the pipeline and what he's doing with fracking. And when
Speaker 1: you look at what just happened to Texas, it's just
Speaker 1: finally warming up down there and people are coming back
Speaker 1: into their homes from hotel rooms and things like that
Speaker 1: and finding out the home is wrecked because of the
Speaker 1: frozen pipes. And that's the America that this guy is
Speaker 1: pushing the store. And this administration, with the help of
Speaker 1: both thousands of Congress, are going to not just do
Speaker 1: it by executive order as this do as the doing
Speaker 1: it right now. They're going to get legislation through that
Speaker 1: damages all these kinds of opportunities that Americans have had
Speaker 1: now for two centuries. And I just I look at it,
Speaker 1: and I say, Lord, what are we going to have
Speaker 1: to hope for? My answer, for example, on the Second
Speaker 1: Amendment is right to your Congressman, because they're they're going
Speaker 1: to try to make sure that the Second Amendment is
Speaker 1: truly infringed, okay. And what they're going to try to
Speaker 1: do is to make sure the state levels and in
Speaker 1: Congress they pass restrictions on sporting rifles. For crying out loud,
Speaker 1: if you read them, he actually says the word ban okay,
Speaker 1: talking about a very popular sporting rifle in America. It's
Speaker 1: a It's not as he said in his speech, it's
Speaker 1: not a matter of an assault rifle. It's not a
Speaker 1: military weapon. It's it's a sporting rifle, and it's a
Speaker 1: hunting rifle. For me, I use it out here on coyotes. Okay.
Speaker 1: The fact is what this president aims to do is
Speaker 1: to take over the lives of the American people. Whether
Speaker 1: he makes it for four years or not, it's coming.
Speaker 1: And if the American people don't vote in the next election,
Speaker 1: which is two years from now, if they don't vote
Speaker 1: not quite two years from now, they don't vote for
Speaker 1: the right people in Congress, it's we're doomed. We seriously are.
Speaker 1: Not you and me, but my grandkids. And so everything
Speaker 1: that I'm doing right now is look at the sanctity
Speaker 1: of human life. You know, part of the problem that
Speaker 1: we've gotten in this culture isn't the fact that guns
Speaker 1: kill people. It's the fact that we've got people out
Speaker 1: walking around who don't obey the law. They're not going
Speaker 1: to turn in their firearms. The law abiding citizens might.
Speaker 1: But the fact is that the whole thing that this
Speaker 1: administration is aiming for is the government's going to take
Speaker 1: care of you. How Look, the possibilities of rampant inflation
Speaker 1: as a consequence of what they're doing economically is disastrous.
Speaker 1: It happens every time in the name of promises that
Speaker 1: will never be fulfilled. Ever, just like they can't deliver
Speaker 1: on safety, security, law order, education of our kids, they
Speaker 1: never delivered on Obamacare. Every promise they make is guaranteed
Speaker 1: to fail, guaranteed government runs very little. Well, the only
Speaker 1: thing we can really look towards is the military and
Speaker 1: number two. And you're gonna give up your freedoms, then
Speaker 1: it's a matter of how much freedom you give up
Speaker 1: in the name of false security, and socialism always ends
Speaker 1: in more poverty, not more prosperity. Colonel Nor We appreciate you. Yep.
Speaker 1: It's about our grandkids, and I don't have any yet.
Speaker 1: I don't have one. I don't even know if I right.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for any such thing in my life,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. But it is experience safe homes, colonel,
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Semper five eight hundred nine one, Seawn our
Speaker 1: number alight. Time for a quick call here as we say, Hi,
Speaker 1: Dan is in Oklahoma. Dan a minute forty five, make
Speaker 1: it counselor Hey Sean. I've been doing radio since Arch
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety seven, and so I've been doing a
Speaker 1: health and fitness show. In fact, you used to follow
Speaker 1: me on kt OK on Saturday of the rerun for you.
Speaker 1: I had Paul Fury right before me and you right
Speaker 1: after me. St Louis audience. I've read no Okloma City.
Speaker 1: Oh you're an Okla City c I'm sorry. Now the
Speaker 1: reason I is calling you, I'm doing a podcast now
Speaker 1: called Dan's Health Talks. I just do a health and
Speaker 1: fitness show, not a political show. I would do a
Speaker 1: political show, except that I don't want people to have
Speaker 1: cancer or heart disease or diabetes or something not want
Speaker 1: to listen because they have a different political view. But
Speaker 1: I realized a while back that Sean, I mean Sean's
Speaker 1: who I'm connecting you to, that Rush. I would not
Speaker 1: be doing what I'm doing if Rush had not made
Speaker 1: talk radio so popular. And Rush is the best example
Speaker 1: that I can think many of creation of wealth. And
Speaker 1: I have a sister in law who's a doctor and sociology.
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor, a nutrician. But my sister in law,
Speaker 1: she and I were talking one time and she actually
Speaker 1: believed secret liberal and she actually believed that there's a
Speaker 1: pie that if you have more than I must have less.
Speaker 1: That's not a zero sum game. Let me just say this,
Speaker 1: health and fitness everybody needs to pay attention to. I
Speaker 1: work out an hour and a half a day. I
Speaker 1: do a hard martial arts, kick ass workout anyway, good call,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Listen, a lot of you want all right,
Speaker 1: that's going to wrap things up for today. Let not
Speaker 1: your hearts be troubled. We hope you'll say a DVR
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight, nine Eastern Fox News. Senator Ted Cruze, Senator
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy. How are these senators? And how
Speaker 1: is the House? How are they going to deal with
