WEBVTT - Rebuilding America's Farmers

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I tell you scotch on an hour two Sean Hennity's show,

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>told free our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Seawan if you want to be a part of the program. Look,

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the difficulties when you take over and you

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>inherit an economic disaster, and you inherit a border disaster

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>and a foreign policy disasters, you got to repair the

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>damage that has been done. One of the worst things

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>that America has allowed itself to be put in a

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>position of and that is you know that we have

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 1>been used and abused and taken advantage of by countries

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>all around the world in terms of unfair trade practices.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, the President's been right the whole time. They've

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>been ripping us off everyone from Canada to Mexico to

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 1>our Western European allies, never mind our adversaries. And the

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>President rightfully had to get involved and say we're not

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>going to get ripped off anymore. That does, that does

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>cause a short term amount of pain. Now, the President's

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>brought in hundreds of billions a day in TOWERFF money,

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and I'm grateful for that. And the President is now

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>looking at those areas of our economy that have been

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>unfairly impacted as he has tried to regain balance and

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>frankly a stronger position against other countries that have been

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>taking advantage of us. And one of the groups that's

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>been impacted the most are American farmers. The Secretary of Agriculture,

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Brooke Rollins, is with us to discuss it and update

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>us on all of it. Brook, great to have you back.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>How are you, oh Sean?

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>What a joy to be on And I tell you

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>just hearing you talk about our farmers. They are the

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>best among us, aren't they. They're like the an Americans

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>American and so it was really special to have him

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>in the oval with the President the Cabinet room yesterday

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and how special now to be on with you.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>To talk about it.

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I appreciate it. Explain the position that the President

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>was in. Explain why there is sometimes when you try

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 1>to restore balance and when we're taking advantage of and

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the President has to get strong with other countries. You know,

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the transition over to a better economy or the transition

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 1>over to freer and fairer trade can be a little

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>painful and it might disproportionately impact some areas. And I

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>would argue one of the areas would be, you know,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the farmers in particular.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's right, and listen, we talked about this a

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit yesterday, and the president's announcement yesterday was a

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>bridge program to get our farmers and our ranchers from

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, what was an inherited economic crisis. Listen, this

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>is pretty amazing, Sean. I don't know how closely you've

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>tracked this, but just talking about the agriculture economy under

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden, the cost of inputs went up on average

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>between thirty and forty percent. Fertilizer thirty six percent, labor

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>forty seven percent. This is just an four years of Biden.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Interest rate seventy three percent, equipment thirty three percent. Now,

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>when you have our farmers, who sort of live on

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>the edge of profitability anyway for a lot of reasons,

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>when you've got that massive amount of increase in what

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.119
<v Speaker 2>it costs to do business, you can't you can't sustain

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>your farm. It just isn't possible. Then you marry that

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that under Joe Biden, not one new

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 2>trade deal in four years. So I was with the

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>President the first term, as you know, I was in

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the West Wing running his domestic policy team. When we

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>left in twenty twenty, there was a seventeen or eighteen

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar agriculture trade surplus, meaning that we send out

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>more of our ag goods into the world than we

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>brought in. And that's great for our farmers. But do

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>you know when we came back four years later, we

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>now are looking at a fifty billion dollar agricultural trade deficit.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>So that is a massive swing. And you combine that

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>again with the cost of inputs, and our farmers have

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>been they're probably as much, if not more, of a

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>precarious position than they've been in our lifetimes. And that

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>is what we have to fix. This president, if we

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>can't feed ourselves, we will lose our freedom. He understands

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 2>that better than anyone else. Yesterday was just one of

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>many steps that we're taking to get back to an

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>era of prosperity for our farmers. But a really really

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>important staff.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, from your perspective, and I know you don't have

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time because obviously being a cabinet secretary

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you're rather busy. We do appreciate the time you're taking

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>with us. For example, in the textile area in particular,

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>our friends in New York and they have been telling

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>me their industry has been impacted greatly in terms of

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the raw materials to manufacture clothing, et cetera. And my

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>understanding is the President is working on that too. I

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>talked to Scott Besson about it as well.

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right. It is, Sean, I will tell you,

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and I know again, I'm so grateful to you for

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 2>being such an incredible mouthpiece or narrative. You know, you're

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>so good at being able to explain to all of

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>our Americans out there what we're doing. And it's so

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>hard when you have the fake news kind of around

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>every corner trying to tear you down and basically undermine

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>what we're doing. But you get it better than anyone,

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and you see what's happening. For me to see firsthand

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 2>as Secretary of Agriculture the dozens and dozens of new

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>trade deals that have been struck. Right, you talk about

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>opening up the markets and it's not just important to

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>get you know, our rice, for example, into Japan, or

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>our beef into Australia. These are really important things, but

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>perhaps just as important is it.

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Australia not important on beef how many decades.

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, and now we got it right. I mean, he

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 2>is the chief filmmaker. But what I'll say is this,

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>perhaps just as important is the national security aspect of

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>this that no more are we so reliant on one country,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 2>for example, China, that may not have our best interests

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>in mind, but is the biggest majority buyer of our soybeans.

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>So it is there so many layers of nuance, but

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 2>all so important to putting America first. And then yesterday,

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>let me just give you a great example of President

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Trump and how he works. So we finished the meeting

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>in the cabinet room with the farmers talking about all

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>of these issues. It was wonderful. These are the President's people.

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 2>They've been with him from the moment he went down

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>that escalator. Took the rest of the country perhaps a

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 2>minute to catch up, but our farmers and ranchers and

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>rural communities were with us, and so you know, and

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't forget that ever. But we finished the meeting.

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>It's wonderful. He, of course, even though he doesn't have time,

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 2>he's the president of the United States, invites all the

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>farmers into the Oval Office, signs all of their name cards,

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>gives them all pens, takes pictures with everybody. He's just

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 2>so wonderful. But at the end he asked the farmer

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 2>named Brian from South Texas who farms soybeans, corn wheat, cotton,

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 2>actually corn wheat cotton swibans, and he said, now tell

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>me what your biggest issue is. And Brian said, listen, sir,

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I've got a lot of them, but probably the biggest

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>one right now is this battle with Mexico over the

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>water under the nineteen forty four water treaty, and just

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>knowing what kind of water I'm going to have, I

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>can't even figure out what I'm going to plant next

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>year in South Texas. Sean, within one hour, the President

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>had drafted a truth social had me kind of run

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>down all the details, gets it posted today. I have

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.679
<v Speaker 2>been on the call with lots of counterparts in Mexico,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 2>lots of my counterparts across the cabinet, and we're about

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>to solve this for our South Texas farmers. And again,

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>without the President leaning in in such an aggressive way,

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>none of this would be happening. That's why he's such

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>a difference maker.

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what about the other industries that might be impacted.

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>What industries off the top of your head, I mentioned

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the textile industry. What industries do you think maybe need

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a little more attention early on until everything that the

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>President has done in terms of the trillions of dollars

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>committed in manufacturing investment. And you're right, we were relying

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>on other countries for semiconductors, rare earths. We stopped producing

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>automobiles or a lot of them in this country. Uh,

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>manufacturing is now coming back, Pharmaceutical manufacturings coming back. Couple

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that with the largest tax cut in history, with the

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>most aggressive energy dominant policies in history. You know, I

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>think we have laid the foundation for great economic growth

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>down the line. But there might be you know, some

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>industries lagging behind. Any that you see that you're focused

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>on in particular.

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, so it's such a great question. And again the

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>way you talk about it is correct. I mean, this

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>is the reason for the bridge payment yesterday. We can't

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 2>get all of this sticks we inherited. I mean, the

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>more ten months into this Sewan, every day I uncover

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a new just devastating consequence of the policies of the

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>last administration. To think that we are having to basic

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>unwind and completely pivot from what frankly, from my perspective,

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the country was hanging over a cliff. If the President

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>had not won November, I don't know that we would

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>have ever come back, because just unwinding what the farm

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>economy and for agriculture has been like these last ten

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 2>months has just been incredible. You know, the focus on DEI,

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the focus on climate change, the focus on the Green

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>New Deal, all of that had to be undone. To

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>your point, when we take tax cuts, when we take

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>bringing down the cost of the inputs, when we take

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>all the new trade deals that are coming online, when

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 2>we take the one big beautiful bill that was the

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 2>largest investment in rural America in history, all of these

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>things combined are going to move I believe our farmers

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and ranchers to an era of prosperity they haven't seen

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 2>in their lifetime, perhaps their dad's lifetime and their granddad

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and grandma's lifetime. But it's all going to come together,

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's really important until then. To your point, things

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>like textiles, things like cotton. Cotton's really struggling right now.

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Rice our California rice guys are doing fine, but the

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>rice and the rest of the country is really struggling

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>because of some dumping from India and other places, shrimp,

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. It's just it isn't just realigning the tariffs

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 2>themselves that's really important, but these non tariff trade barriers,

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the way that so many of these countries have taken

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>advantage of our country in America in dumping their products.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>It really is about on shoring, reshoring, being able to

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.959
<v Speaker 2>feed ourselves, just the way he talks about manufacturing in

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>most of our agriculture community as well. So you know,

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 2>there's I could I could list for you for days,

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Apples are at fifty percent in America that what they

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>need to be at. Shrimp way down, Rice is struggling.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>We've had more farm bankruptcies in the last few years

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>than we've seen perhaps in our lifetime. I mean, all

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 2>of this has come to a head. But again, I

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>think yesterday was such a great pivot. And the interesting

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 2>thing is, and I know I'm probably talking a little

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>too much, but I do want to say this that

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>when you look at a lot of the poles and

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 2>when rural America and agriculture on, how are they how

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 2>they're feeling even though they're facing the toughest economic times.

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>They're seeing some of their you know, neighbors close shops, selling,

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>selling for houses or whatever. Even though you're seeing that,

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the actual morale and the sort of optimism when you

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 2>when these rural America farmers are looking at the future,

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>they actually it's very high. They feel very optimistic. They

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 2>believe in President Trump's vision. They know we're working around

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the clock for them, and and that's really encouraging too.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 2>And that was a big part of the messages from

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>our farmers that the President got to hear yesterday, just

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 2>a big thank you for putting it all on the

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>line for them.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, we appreciate all that you're doing, and I want

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I want everybody in the country to be successful. I mean,

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, when your business is hurting and people are suffering,

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 1>they put everything on the line. We are you know,

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>we should be that shining city on the hill and

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the land of hope and opportunity and prosperity. And I

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>see that all coming back, and I'd love that, you know,

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>new golden age in America once again, and I believe

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's coming anyway. Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, we appreciate

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 1>your time as always, Thank you, oh Sie.

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>On your show with you, so it's an honor to

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>be on. Thank you.

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's hit our busy phones. Matt is in Utah, Matt, Hi,

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>how are you glad you called? Sar?

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 4>Good?

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.079
<v Speaker 5>Good, Thank you Sean, and thank you for your perspective

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 5>on America.

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 5>So I just want to say about the narco terrorists

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 5>and the illegal immigration that I think Americans that don't

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 5>know about those things they need to go on ride along.

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 5>As I'm a thirty five year veteran, I was a

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 5>chief of police for the last fourteen years, and I

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 5>noticed that citizens that went riding with the police and

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 5>responded to runs and saw the murders and the homicides,

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 5>the rapes, the robberies, the shootings occurring because of drugs

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 5>in America, they start thinking very differently about what's going on.

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 5>Most people are not impacted by violent crime in America.

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 5>There's twenty one thousand murders a year at its height,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 5>at it when it went up over thirty percent twenty

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 5>nineteen to twenty twenty. And you know, now I hear

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 5>from these the liberal left that, oh my gosh, homicides

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 5>are down fifteen percent. That's like buying something that's got

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 5>a thirty percent hike in price, and then they give

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 5>you a fifteen percent discap, you're still losing fifteen percent.

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just I'm really sick and tired of hearing about

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 5>You know, you just had somebody on there not supporting

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 5>ICE in their job to get rid of illegals in America.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Nobody's against immigration, legal immigration. We're all most of us

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 5>are legal immigrations, except for those that have ties to

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 5>families that fought in the Revolutionary War, were settlers. But

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 5>my point is, nobody's against legal immigration. And when I

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 5>hear them say that, well, illegal immigrants only commit a

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 5>small percentage of the crimes occurring in America, but they

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 5>didn't have a right to be here to begin with. Yes,

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 5>citizens here commit murders. We know there's twenty one thousand

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 5>murders a year in America, and it's most of them

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 5>committed by citizens. But all the murders rates, robberies, and

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 5>and no offense. For two hundred and fifty million dollars

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 5>that was embezzled by the federal or from the federal

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 5>government in Minneapolis by the by the illegals, living there

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 5>and for them to come out and say they don't

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 5>support getting rid of them. You know, we've got what

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 5>a thirty trillion dollar national debt. I don't even know

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 5>what it's up to anymore.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>But let me let me tell you something. Only because

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of the constraints of time, faving American lives and ending

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>this epidemic of drug use and abuse and death has

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to happen. It's that simple. And you know, if again

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats find themselves on the wrong side. Americans don't

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>want these drugs in the country. Those that are bringing

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>them in are enemies of our country. Not that complicated.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate the call, quick break, right back, more of your call, straight.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 6>Ahead, draining the swamp, one corrupt politician at a time.

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 6>This is the Sean Hannity Show.

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty five now till the top of the hour,

<v Speaker 1>eight hundred and ninety four one Seawn our number. If

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a part of the program, your

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>call is coming up momentarily. Here. Linda and I have

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a dispute over Christmas music. I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra,

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Mannheim Steamroller. I don't mind some of the older hits

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that we all grew up with, but she wants to

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>go back to the bing Crosby. The new closes to me, dude,

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I love Danny King. Well, no, I'll take But I

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>love that the music is so deep and impactful because

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it's all those songs done in a in a new, innovative,

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>creative way. I just I like the new version of it.

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 7>I like the music you're talking about. But I have

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 7>to tell you from the bottom of my heart.

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you like the music I'm talking about? Okay, I do.

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 7>But here's the problem.

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Our lives not a problem. It's my show. It's vanity show.

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 7>You know, God gave you two ears in one problem.

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Hello, you said there's a problem. I take issue with.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.400
<v Speaker 7>That problem is that our lives most of the year

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 7>are incredibly intense. There's no time for anything. There's no

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 7>time for time. Christmas is the one time we actually

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 7>take off and you play this music, which is beautiful music.

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:38.960

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 7>I love the the orchestra, I love the way that

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 7>it has been but the butt, oh my god.

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.359
<v Speaker 1>But it's a little.

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 7>Intense, and we're intense all year long. I like a

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 9>The message that we are sending to our Somali community,

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 9>to our Latino community, to any community that is being targeted,

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 9>is that we stand with you. Minneapolis is not back

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 9>and down. Our police officers will not coordinate with any

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 9>federal agency that is doing immigration law enforcement work. We

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 9>stand with the communities, community members that make Minneapolis the

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 9>extraordinary place that it is, and we aren't backing down it.

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 9>We're rock solid in support of them.

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, you know this is now the Democratic Party.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.919
<v Speaker 1>People are saying, anity, you're worried about the midterms. I

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>worry about every election to be very blunt, and every

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>vote is going to matter, and there's a certain urgency

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>going into the midterms. I don't want the progress that

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has had this last year to stop. And

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm very confident that the economy is going to turn dramatically,

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that everybody's going to be impacted in a positive way

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>once we the policies of the president get infused into

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the economic bloodstream. But you know, time will prove me

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 1>right or wrong. And I believe that will be proven right.

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>History has proven it over and over again, and I

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>believe in that. And then people can decide, do you

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>want to return to the failed policies of the past.

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to embrace the party of open borders

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and defund and dismantle the party of cradle to grave,

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>womb to the tomb, the party that voted against the

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 1>largest tax cuts in history, the party that lives on

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.879
<v Speaker 1>a toxic brew of NonStop, never ending Trump hatred. What

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.239
<v Speaker 1>do you want to keep progressing as a country so

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>that we're an opportunity society based on liberty and freedom,

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.159
<v Speaker 1>and these people have gone nuts. By the way. You

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>know the comedian Jeff I had him on the program

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>last night. He's really funny. I like him a lot.

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He's leaving California blaming the leadership of Gavin Newsom, the

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 1>United Socialist Utopia of California.

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 8>Listen, I'm kind of in this kind of la thing

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 8>and this I could be guilty of being a victim

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 8>of like what I'm absorbing in my algorithm, Like Gavin

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 8>Newsom scares the academy and I'm I don't want to

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 8>be a part of it.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he wants to run the whole country too. It's

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty wild and the fires.

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 8>Were quite a wake up call for even if you

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.639
<v Speaker 8>know whatever you believe about the fires, the way it

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 8>was dealt with was pretty scary.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>It was not competent, that's for sure. Even after man

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>uh huh, let's go to California, United Socialists Utopia of

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom. Arlene, you're on the Sean Hennity Show. We're

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>in California, are.

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Sen Hi Sun, It's great to talk with you. Finally,

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to let you know as you're bagging on

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 4>all of us out here in California, forty percent of

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.879
<v Speaker 4>us did vote for Trump. And we have an incredible

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 4>assembly member, Karl Demaiah for He's from District seventy five.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 4>He is fighting left and right to help the conservative

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 4>movement out here. You really need to have him on

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 4>your show. He's incredible, But I can't move. My grandkids

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 4>are here, my children here, And I think people have

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 4>short term memory of what Newsom has wanted to do.

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 4>We all know what he did during COVID, but what

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 4>he also wanted to do that he was pushing by

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty thirty. He wanted us everybody to have all gas appliances,

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 4>including restaurants, you know, so no more hot water heaters,

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 4>gas stoves, gas dryers. And he wanted everybody to own

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 4>electric vehicles. And what the other thing people forget is

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 4>he wanted to give illegal immigrants up to one hundred

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 4>and fifty thousand dollars in interest free loans for them

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 4>to purchase homes. And he ended up not signing it

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 4>because I think he knew he would it would kill

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 4>his bid to become president of the United States.

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Look, I actually welcome if he's now the front runner

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>for the Democrats. I welcome this debate. I want to

0:22:55.560 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 1>remind everybody of the failure under his leadership. And uh,

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Gavin's got one big problem. He's not really factored. And

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:06.959
<v Speaker 1>he can go as hard radical left as he wants.

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm telling you right now, Uh, it is not

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>going to fly in a lot of the country because

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he's been so extreme radical left. Mam Donnie would not

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>get elected nationwide. And Gavin Newsom, I think we'll have

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a very hard time. Republicans just need to stay smart,

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 1>stay the course, appreciate the call. Eight hundred and nine one,

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:32.440
<v Speaker 1>shawns our number. I packed her busy phones Dino, he's

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.720
<v Speaker 1>in Queens. He's in New York where Linda talks like

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:37.919
<v Speaker 1>she's from New York even though she lives in She

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>grew up in Philly, in the suburbs of Philly, in

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the in the projects, as she calls him. Is that true, Linda,

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 1>by the.

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 7>Way, not anymore?

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Boro, Well you did.

<v Speaker 7>I'm from Philly, yeah.

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 1>And where did you grow up in public housing? I did?

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 7>No, I didn't grow up in public housing. I lived

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 7>or across the street from public housing.

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I got thank god, I apologie guys. Dina, Dina,

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? How you doing?

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Sean?

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 3>You are a great American.

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 5>I really love you.

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm heterosexual, but I love you, man.

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 9>I love you in the world.

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't take it the wrong way. Don't worry. I

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. I can't do the show without you, to

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>be honest.

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 3>You're a pillar to the flag.

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, well you know, let me tell you something.

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We're all we are all spokes in a wheel to

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>save our country, save you know, for our future generations,

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to do our part. And we're all in this together.

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And and that's why I want to fight so hard.

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:39.919
<v Speaker 1>It's worth fighting for.

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't get nervous, but I'm a little nervous talking

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 3>to you. And I've been listening to you. If I

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 3>tell you over thirty years, do you believe me? Over

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 3>thirty years I've been listening to you.

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I do believe you, and I'm very grateful for that.

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>But why would you be nervous because you're talking to

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a friend.

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Because I'm speaking to the guru of radios man, And

0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, I.

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Just I don't see myself now. If you were talking

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to Levin, you might I could understand. Maybe being a

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>little nervous because it can be a little impatient. And

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I found you big dope. I mean he does do

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that occasionally.

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he had me laughing. Yes, I want to just

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 3>tell you everything. I never voted for presidency in my life.

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 3>When I heard Trump was running, I vote it all

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 3>three times. My father is a United States Army veteran. Okay,

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I lost him in eighty one. Anyway, I've been living

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 3>in this home. I've been living in his home since

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 3>birth in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. I've been living in

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 3>the home, yeah, since birth. And yes, I do agree

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 3>with all what Trump is doing with a narco terrorist.

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.199
<v Speaker 3>To me, it's a no brainer to blow them out

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 3>of the water. Everything he has done hands down. But

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I hope Trump is listening to me today. I just

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 3>lost my mom at ninety six.

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.719
<v Speaker 1>We were paying I'm sorry about losing both your parents.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I am, I've been there.

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 3>So to me, the war on the home front is

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:05.160
<v Speaker 3>important too. I'm so hurt with the tax that lost

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 3>my mom. She was paying four thousand. My tax is

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 3>now twelve. I don't know if I can make it sure,

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 3>And I sure hope that this penetrates somewhere, because I

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>understand he's doing a lot of the country, But what

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:24.439
<v Speaker 3>about what about the the US American homeowner citizens that

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 3>then living one lifetime in their homes. I don't know

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 3>if I can pay this. So I lost her from

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 3>four thousand, they uped it to twelve. I don't have it.

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>What I mean, they up the property property taxes by

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>eight grand. Yeah, because you took ownership of the property.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 1>It went from her name to your name. Yes, oh boy,

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is what's pathetic about how government works.

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>You live there your whole life, which is amazing in

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and of itself. To be honest, I don't know many

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>people that never move in their lives. That's pretty pretty amazing.

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know what to tell you. I want

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 1>to give you good advice, and the only thing I

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>can tell you is the following is Right now, because

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>of Momdani, home prices you know in the suburbs have

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>gone up a whopping twenty five percent. And maybe this

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 1>is not an option for you, but maybe you should

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 1>consider it. Maybe, you know, you you could sell your

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>place at a nice profit and get another place. And

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 1>may I suggest something else? I don't know. I know

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>your family's probably up in New York. But you can

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>get a ticket on Jet Blue fairly inexpensively, and they

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:42.400
<v Speaker 1>have flights all out of Florida back and forth all day.

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like a shuttle. And so what I might suggest

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to you is maybe get to a little warmer weather.

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:51.400
<v Speaker 1>It's about seventy Look at the exact temperature. I'm sure

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you're very interested in this because it's freezing. I could

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>not wait to get the hell out of there yesterday

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and get back to my free state of Florida. And

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it's great to be home right now. It's it's six

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 1>steps seventy two degrees where I am. I'm sorry, what's

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the temperature where you are?

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's cold, but I do like the cold showing.

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 3>And honestly, I'm going to be strayed with you. My

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 3>dad died in this alley, his car, random obile, and

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I feel like this is where I'm gonna lie next.

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 3>So I don't want to leave. But I'm sure as

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 3>hell hurt that I have to pay these numbers because

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't have it and I don't want to lose

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 3>my home. And this is something I wanted to bring.

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 3>And I agree with everything Trump is doing for the world.

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, I do. But this is a major major

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:34.679
<v Speaker 3>factor for me. And I got two young kids. I

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 3>got a four and a five. That's another story. One

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 3>day I'll might you over for dinner. But and I

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 3>wish you the best of luck. You are a charm

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and you I wish you both the best of luck.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:46.719
<v Speaker 3>I was so happy to hear that for you.

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, I appreciate everything. Thank you for sticking with me

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>all this time. I'm humbled, I'm grateful. And if we

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>can help you with ideas, I know a lot of

0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 1>people in the real estate business in New York that

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 1>might be able to help you and would probably do

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it at a very reduced rate as a favor to me.

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>All Right, you can just get in touch with Linda

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>or anybody on my staff.

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I thank you for everything showing you're a great American.

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Like I said in the beginning, I thank you, and

0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm just every day I wake up and I worry.

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 3>I just worry as a homeowner that's been here forever,

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 3>and I just know, I.

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I get it. And you know they have no

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 1>consideration at all at the impact on people like yourself

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:36.959
<v Speaker 1>on a fixed income and then somebody that is, you know,

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 1>like your mom passes away and the only thing that

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>changed is a piece of paper, and now the pricing

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you out of your own home. I don't want to

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>like rub it in, but in the Free State of Florida,

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the one thing that has gotten a little out of

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>control are property taxes because so many people moved here

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and with the constant turnover the you know, if you

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>domicile on homestead in Florida, you lock in your property taxes.

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think the most it can go up in years,

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it's either two or three percent. And Governor DeSantis is

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>going to put a ballot initiative in twenty twenty six

0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>where people can vote to you know, maybe even eliminate

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 1>property taxes altogether and put a tourist tax in this place.

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've visited other countries I pay a tourist tax.

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Why don't they charge it here in Florida. You want

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to come down in the wintertime, Okay, you can pay

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of the tax and take that burden

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>off the people of Florida. But I wish, I wish

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I could give you a better solution. I'll think about it.
