WEBVTT - Advisory Councils - February 17th, Hour 2 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 All right, thanks scotch On an hour two Sean Hannity Show, 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.560 eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number if 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.039 you want to be a part of the program. The 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.240 freak out over Doge continues as they dug up another 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:17.439 one point nine billion dollars in taxpayer money misplaced quote 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.520 by the Biden man, how do you misplays one point 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.319 nine billion? You know, how is it? We're now you 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:28.720 know about where we're facing what is a massive, massive 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.519 debt in this country. And you know, the idea that 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.680 somehow Donald Trump saying, okay, this has got to stop. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.040 The American taxpayers were deceived. They did not They did 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.199 not spell out where this money was being spent, or 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.159 how was being spent, or her radical you know, this 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:51.320 money abroad was And as a result, as the American 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.559 people get more and more aware of it, they're just 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.760 getting sick and tired of it. Most Democrats remain in 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:02.600 freak out mode and they will forever stay there, probably 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.959 throughout the entire Trump presidency. Lee Zeldon announced a fifty 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.479 million dollar environmental justice contract that he had to cancel 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.600 for the Palestinians and Republicans, by the way, are unleashing 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:21.520 something that was first put in place by Thomas Jefferson himself, 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.480 which is the empowerment clause, which is the practice of 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.800 declining to spend funds provided by Congress. And I think 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.280 they will be successful in that effort, you know, considering 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.280 our founders, framers were very clear about their belief in 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:42.479 limited government greater freedom. But the bottom line freak out continues. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.520 Although there are a couple of Democrats interestingly that you know, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.480 we saw the Obama guys in their little podcasts, Pod 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.240 Save America whatever it is, saying you know what, and 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.200 we think of this idea. Well, you have some Democrats 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.560 now admitting, oh DOJ is a good idea? Good? Maybe 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.720 they'll maybe they'll put their money where their mouth is 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.600 and their votes where their mouth is. Let's listen. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.400 And I think we're missing the vote as Democrats. And 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.919 all I'm saying is that sometimes it's better to join 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.600 them and actually play a role in how the strategy works, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.600 rather than so pathetically, frankly try to combat something that 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.760 clearly is a steamroller. And Democrats are being steamrolled and 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.640 I'm deeply concerned about that. Yes, Musk is not elected, 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.000 he has no accountability other than Donald Trump, and that's 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.000 a frightening combination. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.440 Okay, and then we add the people you know very well, 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.720 be very clear up front, you do not want to 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.040 some responsible conservative Republican who's going to save us for this. Yeah, 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.840 well they didn't come. They're not there. Okay, let's just 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.600 get over it. They're not coming to Calvary's not coming 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.079 to courts, are not coming, and they need nothing. And 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.280 where do we pick our fights. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.480 We all the government can be inefficient. We all know 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.640 that the bureaucracy can be bloated. We all worked in 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.200 the White House. We tried to reorganize the government. We 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.080 tried to find efficiency. It's hard to do. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:02.960 And honestly, some of. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.720 This is pretty annoying because some of the stuff we 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.880 should have done. Yeah, yeah, you could. 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:07.120 Do some of them. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.280 You just got to talk shin zam. You're like, I 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.000 can dig these dojah cats. Oh, pretty interesting their reaction 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.400 to this. We're going to be joined in a minute 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:20.639 by Hans von Spakowski and Rogers Everino. But Hans, in 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.400 an article said, like spoiled children finally being told no 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:29.760 by their parents, bureaucrats beneficiaries of wasteful government largess are 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.400 howling at the shock waves that the Department of Government 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.200 Efficiency is now sending through Washington. NBC called it an 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.720 unprecedented effort to shrink the federal workforce and slash programs. Well, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.440 not exactly, you know. And and the second part of 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.720 this story, the untold part of this story is, you know, 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.440 why were it you know, why weren't the inspectors generals 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.360 doing their job, which you know they're now removed. How 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.800 do we have a GAO report? I believe that came out. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.520 What that showed two hundred and thirty six billion taxpayer 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.440 dollars wasted last year alone by the Biden administration. You know, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.080 at what point does it become a financial national emergency 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:16.360 to examine every line item in every single bill so 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.080 that this waste, fraud, abuse, and I'm sure corruption associated 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.520 with it when we get to the bottom line, is 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.520 being squandered and while the average American toils away making 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.360 sixty six thousand dollars a year, At some point we've 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.080 got to admit this is just utter madness and insanity 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.400 and it's unsustainable. And yet you're you're gonna get to 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.800 the point, you know where debt to GDP ratio is 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.840 going to be so high, is going to be higher 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.440 than at any point during World War two, and that 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.760 becomes an unsustainable economy. That is not an economy where 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.080 any country can flourish. And we've seen this happen abroad. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:57.840 Rogers Sevorino, Vice President Domestic Policy, Heritage Foundation, and also 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.680 Hans van Spokovski is with us, and he, of course 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.240 has this article, is the managing Election Law Reform Initiative 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.359 and senior legal fellow at the EDME Center for Legal 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.640 and Judicial Studies. Guys, good to have you both. Hans. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.240 I read your article. I thought it was extraordinarily well done, 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.960 and that's exactly what's happening. They are. They're acting like 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.360 spoiled children that have finally been set you know, told no. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.200 But I think a bigger story that will unfold over 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.200 time is that the degree to which they hid this 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.359 from congressional oversight and from inspectors generals, well. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.159 That is absolutely true. And the fact that they're getting 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.680 so upset is because it's being exposed. And look, you know, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:47.719 most people, the public particularly, we believe in transparency, but 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:54.039 they are very upset that all this besizarre crazy, in fact, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.279 dangerous spending is coming to light. You know, the biggest 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.800 thing about this Sean is they keep saying it unprecedented. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.960 It's not unprecedented. Eisen Dwight Eisenhower, when he got elected, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.880 he came in and said, boy, this government is wasteful, 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:16.200 it's inefficient. And you know, he actually formed a committee. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.479 His committee was called the Committee on Government Organization. It 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.320 was composed of his brother and a very rich, successful 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.000 business guy named Nelson Rockefeller. And is all this sound familiar? 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.320 It sounds familiar. And I can give you another attempt 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.400 to limit the seis scope influencer government. And unfortunately, Congress 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.560 didn't do a thing to act on any of the 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:44.640 recommendations of the famous Grace Commission. During the Reagan years, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.800 these were the best, brightest business minds in the country 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.000 and they were tasked with with trying to come up 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.240 with ways to make the government more efficient and Roger 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.920 the Congress adopted none of them. And Reagan's, you know, 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.679 hands were tied at the time, and Trump's, his hands 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:03.960 are not going to be tied at the end of 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.240 the day. This is not going to be something that 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.120 is going to fly with the American people. Once the 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:13.880 American people understand the magnitude of fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.680 It's going to be a ninety ten issue. I don't 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.880 even think their own party in the end will support it. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.960 In spite of all the hysteria, the singing, you know, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.520 the screaming and you know, ranting and raving. I don't 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.040 think it's going to work well. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.400 Elon Musk. He actually tweeted that al Gore was the 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.320 one who spearheaded reinventing government and all these clips of 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.640 him saying We're going to end waste, fraud and abuse 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.520 over and over again. Well, Doge is actually doing it 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.280 for once, actually doing it, and it reminds me of 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.480 COVID when all the kids had to do remote learning 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.600 and the parents finally figured out, this is the drivel 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.080 that my kids are being exposed to. And that's what's 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600 happening now. Now we're finally discovering where all this money went. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.040 If we're spending you know, a billion dollars for DEI 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.679 all across the world using USAAD funds, or we're funding 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.640 immigrants in hotels in downtown Manhattan did a tune of 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.800 eighty million dollars that is now being called backco. We're 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.560 saying whoahoa, whoa. This is not what we signed up for. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.400 Where's my hotel? Where's my free food? You know, we're 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.240 struggling here. We have inflation for the last you know, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.600 five years. What about us? Why are we wasting all 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.400 this money without accountability? And actually, finally there's some accountability. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.440 Those DHS deep staters who authorize that funding for the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.040 hotel for migrants contrary to the President's orders are now fired. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.559 That would have never happened before Trump and before Elon Musk. 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.840 And you know, Hans, if you go back, remember we 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.199 had a group in Washington that was somewhat influential citizens 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.000 against government waste, and they would find examples, egregious examples 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.040 of government misspending, nothing on the scale of what we're 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.679 looking at here. I mean this this is you know, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:07.080 human growth hormones, steroids, maximum doses, and you know, I 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.079 remember reading one hundred and nine thousand dollars to studying 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.679 the mating habits of the Japanese quail, and you know 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.560 is and I won't spend the time to go through 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.720 the massive list of what they have discovered so far, 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.760 but at the magnitude of this is you're talking about 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.200 at the end of the day, there is going to 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.760 be hundreds of billions of dollars. In my interview with 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.120 Elon Musk, he thinks that'll go over a trillion dollars. 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.600 Oh, I agree. And look, the problem in the past 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.680 was that even when that kind of thing was discovered, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.280 nothing was done about it. And here we actually have 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.600 an administration and we have heads of major cabinet departments 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.800 who are doing something about it. I mean, the new 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.600 head of the Department Agriculture has already canceled two hundred 0:09:53.679 --> 0:10:00.280 million dollars in bizarre spending on outside contracts of of 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.000 all kind. We've got us AID being shut down, which 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.640 has been spending huge amounts of money on ridiculous projects. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.160 So they're actually trying to do something about it. And 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.840 that also, that is that has not been done before. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.320 Well, it's not been done before, and to this extent, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.840 I mean as you go agency by agency by agency, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.400 and I think part of Look, the mainstream media is 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.680 just screaming and yelling about it. And the question I 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.400 have is where have they been. I mean, they all 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.520 claim to be journalists, they all claim, you know, to 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.200 be at the top of their profession. I argue that 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.559 legacy media is dead. Why why didn't they ever discover this, Roger? 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.760 Why didn't they ask questions? How was the Biden administration 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.359 you know, so successful of in terms of their ability 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:59.360 to ignore Congressional oversight, which is, you know, their constitutional function. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.760 And when the likes of Joanie Earnst and the House 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:08.199 Oversight Committee and other different committees were looking into how 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.320 the monies were actually spent, you know, all they did 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.400 is steimy them, a stonewall them, and then give them 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.360 broad interpretations of how the money is being spent without 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.520 any of the specificity that we now knew existed the 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:21.160 whole time. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.640 Yeah, so why doesn't the media report on it? Well, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.840 because they're in on it too. We've discovered that political 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.120 was getting millions of dollars in these subscriptions beyond the 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.320 regular This is a political pro hundreds of thousands and 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.600 millions of dollars. So the media was in on it too. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:43.120 They're being funded by the federal government. So this is 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.280 the shocking thing that's being discovered. Why is it that 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.240 the media is getting you know, grants or any sort 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:50.360 of funding from the federal So. 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.280 They weren't being subsidized that we could confirm that this 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.640 is all subscription money. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.439 These were subscriptions. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:01.240 All right, quick break more with Roger Severino and Hans Polkovsky, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.640 who will join us on the other side. We'll get 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.480 to your calls going up as well. Eight hundred and 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.360 ninety four one sean is our number. All right, we continue. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.439 Hans von Spakovski and Roger Severino is with us talking 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.040 about the issue of Doze in the left wing freakout. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.640 Let me play Al Gore in nineteen ninety three, which 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.240 you mentioned. I mean, it is funny, you know, this 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.120 is how far the Democratic Party has come or how 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:27.040 low they've sunk. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.200 This report tells us out of cut waste, cut red tape, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:38.200 streamline the bureaucracy, change procurement rule, change the personnel rules, 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:42.560 and create a government that works better and costs less. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.560 I've read it and where it says the president should 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.240 the president will. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.640 Oh that sounds an awful lot like Donald Trump and 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.199 Elon Musk, doesn't it? 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:57.160 Roger, yeah, does so? Why is it that we're spending 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.640 seventy thousand dollars for a DII musical in Ireland forty 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.520 seven thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia? One point 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.920 five million for DEI in Serbia's workplaces. Right, these sorts 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.079 of things should never have happened, and somebody was asleep 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.679 at the wheel, and too many people were benefiting from it. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.640 The deep state was hiding it. This is all coming 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.320 to an end finally, But here's one thing that has 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.480 to be reported on more. If judges led it, so 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.120 law Fair against Trump sailed. Now they're trying to stop 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.760 law Trump's agenda through law Fair. So now all these 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.240 injunctions trying to prevent Trump from blocking the funds, trying 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.400 to prevent Trump from executing on his executive orders. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.600 But this is one oh one right out of the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.680 democratic liberal democratic playbook, which is what they can't get 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.000 accomplished at the ballot box, what they can't get done legislatively, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.800 they go to the courts and they hope they find 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.960 liberal activist judges that will help, at a minimum, delay 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.760 the process of a duly elected president fulfilling his promises. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.880 Right, yeah, that's right. These federal judges are now becoming 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.760 essentially federal employees because they are micromanaging individual grants, they 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.720 are micromanaging what's being put on a website. So they 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:16.920 were ordered to restore CDC websites pages on how to 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.600 treat certain diseases, even though it had the gender ideology 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:27.080 from the Biden era department, Right, who is running the department, 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.640 Who's running CDC, who's running AKHS, A federal judge or 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.080 the president and his appointees. It looks like the federal 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.960 judge is in charge of it. So I have this 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.440 odd thing where you have disclaimers that the trumpetindustries are 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.000 putting on a website that's been forced to be put 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.560 on by a judge. They put a disclaimers saying, don't 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.000 believe any of it because it's full of gender ideology. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.160 Who's running the show here? 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.240 And you get the last word. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.240 Well, that is a real problem, and I'm hopeful that 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.560 the US Supreme Court is going to step in and 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.960 stop the kind of a use of the judicial system 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.920 we see going on, which is where we have individual 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.640 federal judges thinking they have more power than the President 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:09.640 of the United States. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.160 Yeah, the duly elected president of the United States, who 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.560 even CBS respondent say he's just fulfilling his campaign promises 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:22.040 which they voted for. Anyway, we appreciate it. Roger, thank you, Hans, 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.960 thank you eight hundred and nine to four one Shawn 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.840 as a number. We'll hit the phones when we get back. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.640 You know, it was interesting I saw Hakeem Jeffries on 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.880 with the Jonathan Carl at ABC News and just to 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.920 watch the Democrats and the left that they are rudderless 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.800 at this point. Let's listen in is. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.560 There anything you are seeing that the Trump is doing 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.560 that you are in favor of? 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:48.760 Do you think is the right thing? 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:53.680 Let me say as it relates to all of those issues, 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.040 we're just at the beginning, and the core promise that 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.880 Donald Trump made is that he's going to lower call 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.560 yes for everyday Americans. In fact, we were told that 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:09.440 grocery prices would go down on day one. On January twentieth, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.920 costs aren't lower. In fact, costs are increasing. The price 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.400 of eggs is skyrocketing out of control. Inflation is on 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.000 the way up. That was the core promise that's been broken. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.720 With respect to immigration, listen, we have to secure the border. 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.680 We have a broken immigration system and we need to 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.440 fix it in a comprehensive and bipartisan way. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.440 Oh acknowledging that the economy was crap, well, let's progress 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.880 and then blaming you know, oh, we got to secure 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.840 our borders. But for four years we were told the 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.600 borders is secure and the borders closed, and they just 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.920 light on both fronts. Even though Donald Trump still is 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.040 under the Biden Harris economy and will be for a 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.120 certain period of time. Now, what Carl was asking is 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.880 he was pointing out the Marquette poll sixty three percent 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.680 favor of the federal government's recognition of only two sexes, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:04.440 txty percent favorite deporting immigrants that entered this country illegally, 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.520 sixty percent favor expanding oil and gas production, fifty nine 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.240 percent favor declaring an emergency at the southern border. And 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.439 he didn't answer the question, is there anything that you 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.520 can think of that Donald Trump is doing that you 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.640 are in favor of, because there is no answer to this. Now, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.320 the Democrats have spent an extra three hundred and twenty 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.400 five hours in the US Senate that they have burned, 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.120 you know, delaying votes on Donald Trump's nominees. They're still 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.080 getting through at a record pace. We found out that 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.919 Jack Smith disclosed in his I guess his final disclosure 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:43.719 form just in the weeks before he stepped down. And anyway, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:48.679 he apparently retained an outside council from Peter Cooski and 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.400 Covington and Burling, which is the biggest law firm in Washington, 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:57.400 d c. And in his final public disclosure report apparently 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:01.639 included a section where he accepted one hundred and forty 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.760 thousand dollars worth of free legal services. Oh imagine if 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.280 a Republican did this. But probably the most interesting comment 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.640 came from Lyndy Lee, who was a well known fundraiser 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.640 who raised money for the Democratic twenty four presidential campaign, 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.600 announced she's leaving her exit from the party in December 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:25.840 after being ostracized for criticizing you know, then former presidential 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:31.119 nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. And he said, Democratic donors absolutely, 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.240 without a single exception. They are so angry and upset 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.360 with the state of the Democratic Party. They think this 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.280 party is in complete shamble. She's not wrong, and I 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.000 don't know how they're going to get out of the wilderness. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.640 She added, adding that the party has been hijacked by 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.440 woke ideology. It is their religion, it is their god. 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.680 Woke is their god. This trans woke insanity. They are 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.160 enthralled by it, and companies are running as fast as 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.240 they can from this toxic jam. Yet the Democratic parties 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.000 doubling down on it, just like they're doubling down on spending, 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.120 you know, reckless amounts of billions of dollars to advance 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:15.800 woke and transgenderism and the radical Green New Deal and 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.920 LGBTQ issues abroad. It's not even in this country. And 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.399 you know, Carvel's out there trying to fly away a 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.359 little bit, and you know he's saying Elon Musk is 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.679 pouring gasoline and dropping lit matches across the federal government. 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:33.919 Voters don't want their elected representatives acting like deer in 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.720 the headlights. Well, if he goes back to his buddy 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.960 Clinton and Al Gore, they sounded awful lot like Donald 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.920 Trump today as we played in the last half hour. Anyway, 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.480 So watching them, you know, one Democrat, even on fake 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.159 new CNN, is we We talked about it on this 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.159 program before I became a Democrat, because I wanted to 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.439 fight NAFTA meaning untrade, unfair trade practices. I wanted to 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.240 drain the swamp. I wanted to make sure my tax 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.959 dollars weren't going to foreign wars are wasted. That sounds 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.720 like Donald Trump today. One of our good friends, actually, 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.360 Victor Davis Hansen writes, Democrats seem stuck in a cycle 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:17.160 of rage and resistance. Yeah, that's that's that's who they are. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.199 This is now going to be four years. There's no 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.399 more stages to go through of grief. First was the 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.320 denial stage, and and then they put their head in 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:30.840 the sands stage. Uh, and then the depression stage. And 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.000 now they're back to the rage stage, which is where 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.760 they usually are. It's and and they will try, and 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.080 they will be resistant, and then they'll go for their 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.879 impeachment if they ever get power pack even post presidency. 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.639 I can see that. All right, let's get to our phones. Dan, California, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.800 the United Socialist Utopia. What's up, Dan the Man? 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.280 How are you, hey, Sean? How's it going? 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.960 Good afternoon, Good afternoon, sir, what's up? 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.600 I'm seeing everything at a record pace. I mean, they're 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.560 they're cutting programs and all this kind of stuff around me. 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.320 I see a lot of people in non affording medications. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.320 Medicare you know, gets bumped up every time they give 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.760 so Security a raise. So once all this money starts 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:14.159 settling down and starts being available, what's going to happen. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.040 You know, how's that going to be reallocated? You know, 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.320 how how does that picture look or how do you 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:20.440 think that picture is going to look? 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.439 I think the way it's going to look is, I 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.520 think we're gonna we're going to finally begin the process 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.440 of getting our fiscal house and economic house in order. 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.160 And it's it's not it's it's not an easy lift. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.360 It's going to be a comprehensive, multifaceted effort that includes 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.560 cutting out waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. That's that's a 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.920 part of it. It's going to be as quickly as 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:48.720 possible moving America into a place of energy dominance. It's 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:53.960 also going to be you know, it's once we do 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.160 these things, getting the economy back up and running again, 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:01.040 lowering interest rates, making it a awordable for people to 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:05.119 start living, then the economy will again regnite and hopefully, 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.200 you know, Americans won't be burdened with high credit card 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.400 debt and high interest rates for their homes. I mean, 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.240 fifty six percent of Americans, this is what Trump inherited. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.680 They can't afford one thousand dollars emergency. I mean that 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.560 that is catastrophic for families if their car breaks down. 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.840 If so, you know, the plumbing breaks, whatever it happens 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:23.080 to be. 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.240 Yeah, it's scary fast you think this will happen. You know, 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:29.840 how fast is this money freed up now that they 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.480 can't use it anymore for what happens to it? 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.800 That's a great question. You know, now that the money 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:37.840 is not going to be used, well, hopefully that money 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:41.440 gets spent to deport illegal immigrants, shore up Social Security 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:45.040 and Medicare that are headed towards insolvency. Hopefully that money 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.960 will be spent on pushing the economic agenda through that 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.040 would include energy, dominance and all these other things the 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.840 president you know, had promised on the campaign trow anyway, 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:58.480 Dan uh, not sure if you care so much about 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.720 this what you're doing out in California because you're paying 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.800 the highest tax rate in the country. Right, quick break 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.359 right back to our phones eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.200 If you want to be a part of the program 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.040 my interview with President Trump and Elon Musk tomorrow night 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.720 on Hannity on the Fox News Channel, I hope you'll 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.920
