Speaker 1: I tell you scotch on an hour two Sean Hennity's show,
Speaker 1: told free our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one
Speaker 1: Seawan if you want to be a part of the program. Look,
Speaker 1: one of the difficulties when you take over and you
Speaker 1: inherit an economic disaster, and you inherit a border disaster
Speaker 1: and a foreign policy disasters, you got to repair the
Speaker 1: damage that has been done. One of the worst things
Speaker 1: that America has allowed itself to be put in a
Speaker 1: position of and that is you know that we have
Speaker 1: been used and abused and taken advantage of by countries
Speaker 1: all around the world in terms of unfair trade practices.
Speaker 1: And yeah, the President's been right the whole time. They've
Speaker 1: been ripping us off everyone from Canada to Mexico to
Speaker 1: our Western European allies, never mind our adversaries. And the
Speaker 1: President rightfully had to get involved and say we're not
Speaker 1: going to get ripped off anymore. That does, that does
Speaker 1: cause a short term amount of pain. Now, the President's
Speaker 1: brought in hundreds of billions a day in TOWERFF money,
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for that. And the President is now
Speaker 1: looking at those areas of our economy that have been
Speaker 1: unfairly impacted as he has tried to regain balance and
Speaker 1: frankly a stronger position against other countries that have been
Speaker 1: taking advantage of us. And one of the groups that's
Speaker 1: been impacted the most are American farmers. The Secretary of Agriculture,
Speaker 1: Brooke Rollins, is with us to discuss it and update
Speaker 1: us on all of it. Brook, great to have you back.
Speaker 1: How are you, oh Sean?
Speaker 2: What a joy to be on And I tell you
Speaker 2: just hearing you talk about our farmers. They are the
Speaker 2: best among us, aren't they. They're like the an Americans
Speaker 2: American and so it was really special to have him
Speaker 2: in the oval with the President the Cabinet room yesterday
Speaker 2: and how special now to be on with you.
Speaker 3: To talk about it.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it. Explain the position that the President
Speaker 1: was in. Explain why there is sometimes when you try
Speaker 1: to restore balance and when we're taking advantage of and
Speaker 1: the President has to get strong with other countries. You know,
Speaker 1: the transition over to a better economy or the transition
Speaker 1: over to freer and fairer trade can be a little
Speaker 1: painful and it might disproportionately impact some areas. And I
Speaker 1: would argue one of the areas would be, you know,
Speaker 1: the farmers in particular.
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, and listen, we talked about this a
Speaker 2: little bit yesterday, and the president's announcement yesterday was a
Speaker 2: bridge program to get our farmers and our ranchers from
Speaker 2: you know, what was an inherited economic crisis. Listen, this
Speaker 2: is pretty amazing, Sean. I don't know how closely you've
Speaker 2: tracked this, but just talking about the agriculture economy under
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, the cost of inputs went up on average
Speaker 2: between thirty and forty percent. Fertilizer thirty six percent, labor
Speaker 2: forty seven percent. This is just an four years of Biden.
Speaker 2: Interest rate seventy three percent, equipment thirty three percent. Now,
Speaker 2: when you have our farmers, who sort of live on
Speaker 2: the edge of profitability anyway for a lot of reasons,
Speaker 2: when you've got that massive amount of increase in what
Speaker 2: it costs to do business, you can't you can't sustain
Speaker 2: your farm. It just isn't possible. Then you marry that
Speaker 2: to the fact that under Joe Biden, not one new
Speaker 2: trade deal in four years. So I was with the
Speaker 2: President the first term, as you know, I was in
Speaker 2: the West Wing running his domestic policy team. When we
Speaker 2: left in twenty twenty, there was a seventeen or eighteen
Speaker 2: billion dollar agriculture trade surplus, meaning that we send out
Speaker 2: more of our ag goods into the world than we
Speaker 2: brought in. And that's great for our farmers. But do
Speaker 2: you know when we came back four years later, we
Speaker 2: now are looking at a fifty billion dollar agricultural trade deficit.
Speaker 2: So that is a massive swing. And you combine that
Speaker 2: again with the cost of inputs, and our farmers have
Speaker 2: been they're probably as much, if not more, of a
Speaker 2: precarious position than they've been in our lifetimes. And that
Speaker 2: is what we have to fix. This president, if we
Speaker 2: can't feed ourselves, we will lose our freedom. He understands
Speaker 2: that better than anyone else. Yesterday was just one of
Speaker 2: many steps that we're taking to get back to an
Speaker 2: era of prosperity for our farmers. But a really really
Speaker 2: important staff.
Speaker 1: Well, from your perspective, and I know you don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of time because obviously being a cabinet secretary
Speaker 1: you're rather busy. We do appreciate the time you're taking
Speaker 1: with us. For example, in the textile area in particular,
Speaker 1: our friends in New York and they have been telling
Speaker 1: me their industry has been impacted greatly in terms of
Speaker 1: the raw materials to manufacture clothing, et cetera. And my
Speaker 1: understanding is the President is working on that too. I
Speaker 1: talked to Scott Besson about it as well.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. It is, Sean, I will tell you,
Speaker 2: and I know again, I'm so grateful to you for
Speaker 2: being such an incredible mouthpiece or narrative. You know, you're
Speaker 2: so good at being able to explain to all of
Speaker 2: our Americans out there what we're doing. And it's so
Speaker 2: hard when you have the fake news kind of around
Speaker 2: every corner trying to tear you down and basically undermine
Speaker 2: what we're doing. But you get it better than anyone,
Speaker 2: and you see what's happening. For me to see firsthand
Speaker 2: as Secretary of Agriculture the dozens and dozens of new
Speaker 2: trade deals that have been struck. Right, you talk about
Speaker 2: opening up the markets and it's not just important to
Speaker 2: get you know, our rice, for example, into Japan, or
Speaker 2: our beef into Australia. These are really important things, but
Speaker 2: perhaps just as important is it.
Speaker 1: By the way, Australia not important on beef how many decades.
Speaker 2: Well, and now we got it right. I mean, he
Speaker 2: is the chief filmmaker. But what I'll say is this,
Speaker 2: perhaps just as important is the national security aspect of
Speaker 2: this that no more are we so reliant on one country,
Speaker 2: for example, China, that may not have our best interests
Speaker 2: in mind, but is the biggest majority buyer of our soybeans.
Speaker 2: So it is there so many layers of nuance, but
Speaker 2: all so important to putting America first. And then yesterday,
Speaker 2: let me just give you a great example of President
Speaker 2: Trump and how he works. So we finished the meeting
Speaker 2: in the cabinet room with the farmers talking about all
Speaker 2: of these issues. It was wonderful. These are the President's people.
Speaker 2: They've been with him from the moment he went down
Speaker 2: that escalator. Took the rest of the country perhaps a
Speaker 2: minute to catch up, but our farmers and ranchers and
Speaker 2: rural communities were with us, and so you know, and
Speaker 2: he doesn't forget that ever. But we finished the meeting.
Speaker 2: It's wonderful. He, of course, even though he doesn't have time,
Speaker 2: he's the president of the United States, invites all the
Speaker 2: farmers into the Oval Office, signs all of their name cards,
Speaker 2: gives them all pens, takes pictures with everybody. He's just
Speaker 2: so wonderful. But at the end he asked the farmer
Speaker 2: named Brian from South Texas who farms soybeans, corn wheat, cotton,
Speaker 2: actually corn wheat cotton swibans, and he said, now tell
Speaker 2: me what your biggest issue is. And Brian said, listen, sir,
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of them, but probably the biggest
Speaker 2: one right now is this battle with Mexico over the
Speaker 2: water under the nineteen forty four water treaty, and just
Speaker 2: knowing what kind of water I'm going to have, I
Speaker 2: can't even figure out what I'm going to plant next
Speaker 2: year in South Texas. Sean, within one hour, the President
Speaker 2: had drafted a truth social had me kind of run
Speaker 2: down all the details, gets it posted today. I have
Speaker 2: been on the call with lots of counterparts in Mexico,
Speaker 2: lots of my counterparts across the cabinet, and we're about
Speaker 2: to solve this for our South Texas farmers. And again,
Speaker 2: without the President leaning in in such an aggressive way,
Speaker 2: none of this would be happening. That's why he's such
Speaker 2: a difference maker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the other industries that might be impacted.
Speaker 1: What industries off the top of your head, I mentioned
Speaker 1: the textile industry. What industries do you think maybe need
Speaker 1: a little more attention early on until everything that the
Speaker 1: President has done in terms of the trillions of dollars
Speaker 1: committed in manufacturing investment. And you're right, we were relying
Speaker 1: on other countries for semiconductors, rare earths. We stopped producing
Speaker 1: automobiles or a lot of them in this country. Uh,
Speaker 1: manufacturing is now coming back, Pharmaceutical manufacturings coming back. Couple
Speaker 1: that with the largest tax cut in history, with the
Speaker 1: most aggressive energy dominant policies in history. You know, I
Speaker 1: think we have laid the foundation for great economic growth
Speaker 1: down the line. But there might be you know, some
Speaker 1: industries lagging behind. Any that you see that you're focused
Speaker 1: on in particular.
Speaker 2: Well, so it's such a great question. And again the
Speaker 2: way you talk about it is correct. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is the reason for the bridge payment yesterday. We can't
Speaker 2: get all of this sticks we inherited. I mean, the
Speaker 2: more ten months into this Sewan, every day I uncover
Speaker 2: a new just devastating consequence of the policies of the
Speaker 2: last administration. To think that we are having to basic
Speaker 2: unwind and completely pivot from what frankly, from my perspective,
Speaker 2: the country was hanging over a cliff. If the President
Speaker 2: had not won November, I don't know that we would
Speaker 2: have ever come back, because just unwinding what the farm
Speaker 2: economy and for agriculture has been like these last ten
Speaker 2: months has just been incredible. You know, the focus on DEI,
Speaker 2: the focus on climate change, the focus on the Green
Speaker 2: New Deal, all of that had to be undone. To
Speaker 2: your point, when we take tax cuts, when we take
Speaker 2: bringing down the cost of the inputs, when we take
Speaker 2: all the new trade deals that are coming online, when
Speaker 2: we take the one big beautiful bill that was the
Speaker 2: largest investment in rural America in history, all of these
Speaker 2: things combined are going to move I believe our farmers
Speaker 2: and ranchers to an era of prosperity they haven't seen
Speaker 2: in their lifetime, perhaps their dad's lifetime and their granddad
Speaker 2: and grandma's lifetime. But it's all going to come together,
Speaker 2: and it's really important until then. To your point, things
Speaker 2: like textiles, things like cotton. Cotton's really struggling right now.
Speaker 2: Rice our California rice guys are doing fine, but the
Speaker 2: rice and the rest of the country is really struggling
Speaker 2: because of some dumping from India and other places, shrimp,
Speaker 2: et cetera. It's just it isn't just realigning the tariffs
Speaker 2: themselves that's really important, but these non tariff trade barriers,
Speaker 2: the way that so many of these countries have taken
Speaker 2: advantage of our country in America in dumping their products.
Speaker 2: It really is about on shoring, reshoring, being able to
Speaker 2: feed ourselves, just the way he talks about manufacturing in
Speaker 2: most of our agriculture community as well. So you know,
Speaker 2: there's I could I could list for you for days,
Speaker 2: Apples are at fifty percent in America that what they
Speaker 2: need to be at. Shrimp way down, Rice is struggling.
Speaker 2: We've had more farm bankruptcies in the last few years
Speaker 2: than we've seen perhaps in our lifetime. I mean, all
Speaker 2: of this has come to a head. But again, I
Speaker 2: think yesterday was such a great pivot. And the interesting
Speaker 2: thing is, and I know I'm probably talking a little
Speaker 2: too much, but I do want to say this that
Speaker 2: when you look at a lot of the poles and
Speaker 2: when rural America and agriculture on, how are they how
Speaker 2: they're feeling even though they're facing the toughest economic times.
Speaker 2: They're seeing some of their you know, neighbors close shops, selling,
Speaker 2: selling for houses or whatever. Even though you're seeing that,
Speaker 2: the actual morale and the sort of optimism when you
Speaker 2: when these rural America farmers are looking at the future,
Speaker 2: they actually it's very high. They feel very optimistic. They
Speaker 2: believe in President Trump's vision. They know we're working around
Speaker 2: the clock for them, and and that's really encouraging too.
Speaker 2: And that was a big part of the messages from
Speaker 2: our farmers that the President got to hear yesterday, just
Speaker 2: a big thank you for putting it all on the
Speaker 2: line for them.
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate all that you're doing, and I want
Speaker 1: I want everybody in the country to be successful. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, when your business is hurting and people are suffering,
Speaker 1: they put everything on the line. We are you know,
Speaker 1: we should be that shining city on the hill and
Speaker 1: the land of hope and opportunity and prosperity. And I
Speaker 1: see that all coming back, and I'd love that, you know,
Speaker 1: new golden age in America once again, and I believe
Speaker 1: it's coming anyway. Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, we appreciate
Speaker 1: your time as always, Thank you, oh Sie.
Speaker 2: On your show with you, so it's an honor to
Speaker 2: be on. Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit our busy phones. Matt is in Utah, Matt, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Sar?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 5: Good, Thank you Sean, and thank you for your perspective
Speaker 5: on America.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 5: So I just want to say about the narco terrorists
Speaker 5: and the illegal immigration that I think Americans that don't
Speaker 5: know about those things they need to go on ride along.
Speaker 5: As I'm a thirty five year veteran, I was a
Speaker 5: chief of police for the last fourteen years, and I
Speaker 5: noticed that citizens that went riding with the police and
Speaker 5: responded to runs and saw the murders and the homicides,
Speaker 5: the rapes, the robberies, the shootings occurring because of drugs
Speaker 5: in America, they start thinking very differently about what's going on.
Speaker 5: Most people are not impacted by violent crime in America.
Speaker 5: There's twenty one thousand murders a year at its height,
Speaker 5: at it when it went up over thirty percent twenty
Speaker 5: nineteen to twenty twenty. And you know, now I hear
Speaker 5: from these the liberal left that, oh my gosh, homicides
Speaker 5: are down fifteen percent. That's like buying something that's got
Speaker 5: a thirty percent hike in price, and then they give
Speaker 5: you a fifteen percent discap, you're still losing fifteen percent.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm really sick and tired of hearing about
Speaker 5: You know, you just had somebody on there not supporting
Speaker 5: ICE in their job to get rid of illegals in America.
Speaker 5: Nobody's against immigration, legal immigration. We're all most of us
Speaker 5: are legal immigrations, except for those that have ties to
Speaker 5: families that fought in the Revolutionary War, were settlers. But
Speaker 5: my point is, nobody's against legal immigration. And when I
Speaker 5: hear them say that, well, illegal immigrants only commit a
Speaker 5: small percentage of the crimes occurring in America, but they
Speaker 5: didn't have a right to be here to begin with. Yes,
Speaker 5: citizens here commit murders. We know there's twenty one thousand
Speaker 5: murders a year in America, and it's most of them
Speaker 5: committed by citizens. But all the murders rates, robberies, and
Speaker 5: and no offense. For two hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 5: that was embezzled by the federal or from the federal
Speaker 5: government in Minneapolis by the by the illegals, living there
Speaker 5: and for them to come out and say they don't
Speaker 5: support getting rid of them. You know, we've got what
Speaker 5: a thirty trillion dollar national debt. I don't even know
Speaker 5: what it's up to anymore.
Speaker 1: But let me let me tell you something. Only because
Speaker 1: of the constraints of time, faving American lives and ending
Speaker 1: this epidemic of drug use and abuse and death has
Speaker 1: to happen. It's that simple. And you know, if again
Speaker 1: the Democrats find themselves on the wrong side. Americans don't
Speaker 1: want these drugs in the country. Those that are bringing
Speaker 1: them in are enemies of our country. Not that complicated.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, quick break, right back, more of your call, straight.
Speaker 6: Ahead, draining the swamp, one corrupt politician at a time.
Speaker 6: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty five now till the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one Seawn our number. If
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, your
Speaker 1: call is coming up momentarily. Here. Linda and I have
Speaker 1: a dispute over Christmas music. I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra,
Speaker 1: Mannheim Steamroller. I don't mind some of the older hits
Speaker 1: that we all grew up with, but she wants to
Speaker 1: go back to the bing Crosby. The new closes to me, dude,
Speaker 1: I love Danny King. Well, no, I'll take But I
Speaker 1: love that the music is so deep and impactful because
Speaker 1: it's all those songs done in a in a new, innovative,
Speaker 1: creative way. I just I like the new version of it.
Speaker 7: I like the music you're talking about. But I have
Speaker 7: to tell you from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker 1: Do you like the music I'm talking about? Okay, I do.
Speaker 7: But here's the problem.
Speaker 1: Our lives not a problem. It's my show. It's vanity show.
Speaker 7: You know, God gave you two ears in one problem.
Speaker 1: Hello, you said there's a problem. I take issue with.
Speaker 7: That problem is that our lives most of the year
Speaker 7: are incredibly intense. There's no time for anything. There's no
Speaker 7: time for time. Christmas is the one time we actually
Speaker 7: take off and you play this music, which is beautiful music.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a musician.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 7: I love the the orchestra, I love the way that
Speaker 7: it has been but the butt, oh my god.
Speaker 1: But it's a little.
Speaker 7: Intense, and we're intense all year long. I like a
Speaker 7: little pirl lives. I like a little you know, jingle
Speaker 7: bell rock. I like a little you know, White Christmas.
Speaker 1: You like a little pros.
Speaker 7: It's one of the best movies Christmas.
Speaker 1: Like religious music for Christmas because I want to be
Speaker 1: reminded of God. And you know, I understand the Santa
Speaker 1: Claus part. I understand the Frosty How could you forget? Okay,
Speaker 1: are we done?
Speaker 8: Now? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I got it?
Speaker 7: I could go.
Speaker 1: I want to save people money. I think people are
Speaker 1: like that. Are wireless company, Pure Talk, a veteran own company.
Speaker 1: They are amazing and they share your values. They use
Speaker 1: the same cell towers, they use the same five G
Speaker 1: network as the big carriers AT and T, Verizon and
Speaker 1: T Mobile, and you save a fortune. The average family
Speaker 1: saves over one thousand dollars a year. They are now
Speaker 1: offering their top tier plan. This is the best deal
Speaker 1: that they've ever ever offered, and that is unlimited talk,
Speaker 1: unlimited text, unlimited data, thirty gig hotspot for twenty nine
Speaker 1: to ninety five a month. Now. The best part, they
Speaker 1: will lock in that price for the rest of your life. Now,
Speaker 1: You're not going to ever get a deal like this
Speaker 1: from any big carrier, all right, You get the same
Speaker 1: exact cell towers, same five G network, same service, unlimited talk, text,
Speaker 1: unlimited data, thirty gig hotspot. It's twenty nine to ninety
Speaker 1: five a month, normally sixty five dollars a month, and
Speaker 1: you get that price locked in for life. Okay, make
Speaker 1: the switch. It's fast, it's simple, it's easy. You dial
Speaker 1: pound two to fifty. You say the keyword save. Now,
Speaker 1: make the permanent switch, save money forever on your wireless spill.
Speaker 1: By the way, do you hear this is Jacob fry
Speaker 1: the I guess he's the mayor of Minneapolis. He says
Speaker 1: he will not allow police to cooperate with ICE. Well,
Speaker 1: that sounds to me and I'll play it for you
Speaker 1: like he's encouraging people to break the law. Listen.
Speaker 9: The message that we are sending to our Somali community,
Speaker 9: to our Latino community, to any community that is being targeted,
Speaker 9: is that we stand with you. Minneapolis is not back
Speaker 9: and down. Our police officers will not coordinate with any
Speaker 9: federal agency that is doing immigration law enforcement work. We
Speaker 9: stand with the communities, community members that make Minneapolis the
Speaker 9: extraordinary place that it is, and we aren't backing down it.
Speaker 9: We're rock solid in support of them.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know this is now the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: People are saying, anity, you're worried about the midterms. I
Speaker 1: worry about every election to be very blunt, and every
Speaker 1: vote is going to matter, and there's a certain urgency
Speaker 1: going into the midterms. I don't want the progress that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has had this last year to stop. And
Speaker 1: I'm very confident that the economy is going to turn dramatically,
Speaker 1: that everybody's going to be impacted in a positive way
Speaker 1: once we the policies of the president get infused into
Speaker 1: the economic bloodstream. But you know, time will prove me
Speaker 1: right or wrong. And I believe that will be proven right.
Speaker 1: History has proven it over and over again, and I
Speaker 1: believe in that. And then people can decide, do you
Speaker 1: want to return to the failed policies of the past.
Speaker 1: Do you want to embrace the party of open borders
Speaker 1: and defund and dismantle the party of cradle to grave,
Speaker 1: womb to the tomb, the party that voted against the
Speaker 1: largest tax cuts in history, the party that lives on
Speaker 1: a toxic brew of NonStop, never ending Trump hatred. What
Speaker 1: do you want to keep progressing as a country so
Speaker 1: that we're an opportunity society based on liberty and freedom,
Speaker 1: and these people have gone nuts. By the way. You
Speaker 1: know the comedian Jeff I had him on the program
Speaker 1: last night. He's really funny. I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: He's leaving California blaming the leadership of Gavin Newsom, the
Speaker 1: United Socialist Utopia of California.
Speaker 8: Listen, I'm kind of in this kind of la thing
Speaker 8: and this I could be guilty of being a victim
Speaker 8: of like what I'm absorbing in my algorithm, Like Gavin
Speaker 8: Newsom scares the academy and I'm I don't want to
Speaker 8: be a part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants to run the whole country too. It's
Speaker 1: pretty pretty wild and the fires.
Speaker 8: Were quite a wake up call for even if you
Speaker 8: know whatever you believe about the fires, the way it
Speaker 8: was dealt with was pretty scary.
Speaker 1: It was not competent, that's for sure. Even after man
Speaker 1: uh huh, let's go to California, United Socialists Utopia of
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. Arlene, you're on the Sean Hennity Show. We're
Speaker 1: in California, are.
Speaker 4: Sen Hi Sun, It's great to talk with you. Finally,
Speaker 4: I wanted to let you know as you're bagging on
Speaker 4: all of us out here in California, forty percent of
Speaker 4: us did vote for Trump. And we have an incredible
Speaker 4: assembly member, Karl Demaiah for He's from District seventy five.
Speaker 4: He is fighting left and right to help the conservative
Speaker 4: movement out here. You really need to have him on
Speaker 4: your show. He's incredible, But I can't move. My grandkids
Speaker 4: are here, my children here, And I think people have
Speaker 4: short term memory of what Newsom has wanted to do.
Speaker 4: We all know what he did during COVID, but what
Speaker 4: he also wanted to do that he was pushing by
Speaker 4: twenty thirty. He wanted us everybody to have all gas appliances,
Speaker 4: including restaurants, you know, so no more hot water heaters,
Speaker 4: gas stoves, gas dryers. And he wanted everybody to own
Speaker 4: electric vehicles. And what the other thing people forget is
Speaker 4: he wanted to give illegal immigrants up to one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars in interest free loans for them
Speaker 4: to purchase homes. And he ended up not signing it
Speaker 4: because I think he knew he would it would kill
Speaker 4: his bid to become president of the United States.
Speaker 1: Look, I actually welcome if he's now the front runner
Speaker 1: for the Democrats. I welcome this debate. I want to
Speaker 1: remind everybody of the failure under his leadership. And uh,
Speaker 1: Gavin's got one big problem. He's not really factored. And
Speaker 1: he can go as hard radical left as he wants.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, Uh, it is not
Speaker 1: going to fly in a lot of the country because
Speaker 1: he's been so extreme radical left. Mam Donnie would not
Speaker 1: get elected nationwide. And Gavin Newsom, I think we'll have
Speaker 1: a very hard time. Republicans just need to stay smart,
Speaker 1: stay the course, appreciate the call. Eight hundred and nine one,
Speaker 1: shawns our number. I packed her busy phones Dino, he's
Speaker 1: in Queens. He's in New York where Linda talks like
Speaker 1: she's from New York even though she lives in She
Speaker 1: grew up in Philly, in the suburbs of Philly, in
Speaker 1: the in the projects, as she calls him. Is that true, Linda,
Speaker 1: by the.
Speaker 7: Way, not anymore?
Speaker 1: Boro, Well you did.
Speaker 7: I'm from Philly, yeah.
Speaker 1: And where did you grow up in public housing? I did?
Speaker 7: No, I didn't grow up in public housing. I lived
Speaker 7: or across the street from public housing.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got thank god, I apologie guys. Dina, Dina,
Speaker 1: what's going on? How you doing?
Speaker 4: Sean?
Speaker 3: You are a great American.
Speaker 5: I really love you.
Speaker 3: No, I'm heterosexual, but I love you, man.
Speaker 9: I love you in the world.
Speaker 1: I didn't take it the wrong way. Don't worry. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I can't do the show without you, to
Speaker 1: be honest.
Speaker 3: You're a pillar to the flag.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, well you know, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: We're all we are all spokes in a wheel to
Speaker 1: save our country, save you know, for our future generations,
Speaker 1: to do our part. And we're all in this together.
Speaker 1: And and that's why I want to fight so hard.
Speaker 1: It's worth fighting for.
Speaker 3: I don't get nervous, but I'm a little nervous talking
Speaker 3: to you. And I've been listening to you. If I
Speaker 3: tell you over thirty years, do you believe me? Over
Speaker 3: thirty years I've been listening to you.
Speaker 1: I do believe you, and I'm very grateful for that.
Speaker 1: But why would you be nervous because you're talking to
Speaker 1: a friend.
Speaker 3: Because I'm speaking to the guru of radios man, And
Speaker 3: you know, I.
Speaker 1: Just I don't see myself now. If you were talking
Speaker 1: to Levin, you might I could understand. Maybe being a
Speaker 1: little nervous because it can be a little impatient. And
Speaker 1: I found you big dope. I mean he does do
Speaker 1: that occasionally.
Speaker 3: Yes, he had me laughing. Yes, I want to just
Speaker 3: tell you everything. I never voted for presidency in my life.
Speaker 3: When I heard Trump was running, I vote it all
Speaker 3: three times. My father is a United States Army veteran. Okay,
Speaker 3: I lost him in eighty one. Anyway, I've been living
Speaker 3: in this home. I've been living in his home since
Speaker 3: birth in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. I've been living in
Speaker 3: the home, yeah, since birth. And yes, I do agree
Speaker 3: with all what Trump is doing with a narco terrorist.
Speaker 3: To me, it's a no brainer to blow them out
Speaker 3: of the water. Everything he has done hands down. But
Speaker 3: I hope Trump is listening to me today. I just
Speaker 3: lost my mom at ninety six.
Speaker 1: We were paying I'm sorry about losing both your parents.
Speaker 1: I am, I've been there.
Speaker 3: So to me, the war on the home front is
Speaker 3: important too. I'm so hurt with the tax that lost
Speaker 3: my mom. She was paying four thousand. My tax is
Speaker 3: now twelve. I don't know if I can make it sure,
Speaker 3: And I sure hope that this penetrates somewhere, because I
Speaker 3: understand he's doing a lot of the country, But what
Speaker 3: about what about the the US American homeowner citizens that
Speaker 3: then living one lifetime in their homes. I don't know
Speaker 3: if I can pay this. So I lost her from
Speaker 3: four thousand, they uped it to twelve. I don't have it.
Speaker 1: What I mean, they up the property property taxes by
Speaker 1: eight grand. Yeah, because you took ownership of the property.
Speaker 1: It went from her name to your name. Yes, oh boy,
Speaker 1: I mean this is what's pathetic about how government works.
Speaker 1: You live there your whole life, which is amazing in
Speaker 1: and of itself. To be honest, I don't know many
Speaker 1: people that never move in their lives. That's pretty pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what to tell you. I want
Speaker 1: to give you good advice, and the only thing I
Speaker 1: can tell you is the following is Right now, because
Speaker 1: of Momdani, home prices you know in the suburbs have
Speaker 1: gone up a whopping twenty five percent. And maybe this
Speaker 1: is not an option for you, but maybe you should
Speaker 1: consider it. Maybe, you know, you you could sell your
Speaker 1: place at a nice profit and get another place. And
Speaker 1: may I suggest something else? I don't know. I know
Speaker 1: your family's probably up in New York. But you can
Speaker 1: get a ticket on Jet Blue fairly inexpensively, and they
Speaker 1: have flights all out of Florida back and forth all day.
Speaker 1: It's like a shuttle. And so what I might suggest
Speaker 1: to you is maybe get to a little warmer weather.
Speaker 1: It's about seventy Look at the exact temperature. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're very interested in this because it's freezing. I could
Speaker 1: not wait to get the hell out of there yesterday
Speaker 1: and get back to my free state of Florida. And
Speaker 1: it's great to be home right now. It's it's six
Speaker 1: steps seventy two degrees where I am. I'm sorry, what's
Speaker 1: the temperature where you are?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's cold, but I do like the cold showing.
Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm going to be strayed with you. My
Speaker 3: dad died in this alley, his car, random obile, and
Speaker 3: I feel like this is where I'm gonna lie next.
Speaker 3: So I don't want to leave. But I'm sure as
Speaker 3: hell hurt that I have to pay these numbers because
Speaker 3: I don't have it and I don't want to lose
Speaker 3: my home. And this is something I wanted to bring.
Speaker 3: And I agree with everything Trump is doing for the world.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I do. But this is a major major
Speaker 3: factor for me. And I got two young kids. I
Speaker 3: got a four and a five. That's another story. One
Speaker 3: day I'll might you over for dinner. But and I
Speaker 3: wish you the best of luck. You are a charm
Speaker 3: and you I wish you both the best of luck.
Speaker 3: I was so happy to hear that for you.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate everything. Thank you for sticking with me
Speaker 1: all this time. I'm humbled, I'm grateful. And if we
Speaker 1: can help you with ideas, I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the real estate business in New York that
Speaker 1: might be able to help you and would probably do
Speaker 1: it at a very reduced rate as a favor to me.
Speaker 1: All Right, you can just get in touch with Linda
Speaker 1: or anybody on my staff.
Speaker 3: Okay, I thank you for everything showing you're a great American.
Speaker 3: Like I said in the beginning, I thank you, and
Speaker 3: I'm just every day I wake up and I worry.
Speaker 3: I just worry as a homeowner that's been here forever,
Speaker 3: and I just know, I.
Speaker 1: Listen, I get it. And you know they have no
Speaker 1: consideration at all at the impact on people like yourself
Speaker 1: on a fixed income and then somebody that is, you know,
Speaker 1: like your mom passes away and the only thing that
Speaker 1: changed is a piece of paper, and now the pricing
Speaker 1: you out of your own home. I don't want to
Speaker 1: like rub it in, but in the Free State of Florida,
Speaker 1: the one thing that has gotten a little out of
Speaker 1: control are property taxes because so many people moved here
Speaker 1: and with the constant turnover the you know, if you
Speaker 1: domicile on homestead in Florida, you lock in your property taxes.
Speaker 1: And I think the most it can go up in years,
Speaker 1: it's either two or three percent. And Governor DeSantis is
Speaker 1: going to put a ballot initiative in twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: where people can vote to you know, maybe even eliminate
Speaker 1: property taxes altogether and put a tourist tax in this place.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've visited other countries I pay a tourist tax.
Speaker 1: Why don't they charge it here in Florida. You want
Speaker 1: to come down in the wintertime, Okay, you can pay
Speaker 1: a little bit of the tax and take that burden
Speaker 1: off the people of Florida. But I wish, I wish
Speaker 1: I could give you a better solution. I'll think about it.
