Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you. Eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 1: Sean you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: Let's start with our top story of the day, and
Speaker 1: that is Andrew Cuomo announcing his resignation. Is happening earlier today.
Speaker 1: Let's play it. And I love New York and I
Speaker 1: love you, and everything I have ever done has been
Speaker 1: motivated by that love. And I would never want to
Speaker 1: be unhelpful in any way. And I think that, given
Speaker 1: the circumstances, the best way I can help now is
Speaker 1: if I step aside and let government get back to governing.
Speaker 1: And therefore that's what I'll do, because I work for you,
Speaker 1: and doing the right thing is doing the right thing
Speaker 1: for you, because, as we say, it's not about me,
Speaker 1: it's about we. Kathie Hochlan, my Lieutenant Governor, is smart
Speaker 1: and competent. This transition must be seamless. We have a
Speaker 1: lot going on. I'm very worried about the delta variant,
Speaker 1: and so should you be. But she can come up
Speaker 1: to speed quickly, and my resignation will be effective in
Speaker 1: fourteen days. At public events, troopers will often hold doors
Speaker 1: open or guard the doorways when I walk past them.
Speaker 1: I often will give them a grip of the arm,
Speaker 1: a pat on the face, a touch on the stomacher,
Speaker 1: slap on the back. It's my way of saying I
Speaker 1: see you, I appreciate you, and I thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable just walking past and ignoring them. Of course,
Speaker 1: usually they are male troopers. In this case, I don't
Speaker 1: remember doing it at all. I didn't do it consciously
Speaker 1: with the female trooper. I did not mean any sexual connotation.
Speaker 1: I did not mean any intimacy by it. I just
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking. It was totally thoughtless in the literal sense
Speaker 1: of the word. But it was also insensitive. It was
Speaker 1: embarrassing to her, and it was disrespectful. It was a mistake,
Speaker 1: plain and simple. I have no other words to explain it.
Speaker 1: I want to personally apologize to her and her family.
Speaker 1: I have the greatest respect for her and for the
Speaker 1: New York State Police. I take. And that was Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1: Let me let me let me play one more here,
Speaker 1: and that is Cuomo saying, I take full responsibility for
Speaker 1: my actions. Remember he said it's all false and the
Speaker 1: only reason is is that well, apparently he had no
Speaker 1: friends in the Democratic Party, even in the liberal state
Speaker 1: of New York. There's something behind that, there is an
Speaker 1: untold story. Not really sure it was a New York
Speaker 1: I think it was the New Yorker piece that came out,
Speaker 1: and in that piece, it just came out hours before
Speaker 1: Cuomo resigned, and about pressure that was put on the
Speaker 1: Justice Department by of Obama. I guess at the time
Speaker 1: as it relates to certain issues, and and that everybody
Speaker 1: apparently was uncomfortable with it, and another issues that have
Speaker 1: come up as well. But let's play one more, Cuomo
Speaker 1: cut I take full responsibility for my actions. I have
Speaker 1: been too familiar with people. My sense of humor can
Speaker 1: be in s insitive and off putting. I do hug
Speaker 1: and kiss people casually, women and men. I have done
Speaker 1: it all my life. It's who I've been since I
Speaker 1: can remember. In my mind. I've never crossed the line
Speaker 1: with anyone. But I didn't realize the extent to which
Speaker 1: the line has been redrawn, all right from earlier today.
Speaker 1: None of this to me. So many people, you know,
Speaker 1: getting in touch with the show and Linda and Sweet
Speaker 1: Baby and telling me, and they're reporting back to me
Speaker 1: that they're surprised. I'm not surprised. In the sense that
Speaker 1: one way or another, this was a fad to complete
Speaker 1: and that the real issue that is facing the governor
Speaker 1: is going to be over the Remember in the Age report,
Speaker 1: I talked about criminal laws being broken on a state
Speaker 1: level and a federal level. Even assuming he keeps his
Speaker 1: board and resigns in fourteen days, Andrew Cuomo may not
Speaker 1: be out of the legal woods in any way whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Go back to the Attorney General of New York's report
Speaker 1: on the sexual harassment charges, and you know that it
Speaker 1: was a result of a civil investigation, but it since
Speaker 1: led now to law enforcement officials opening simultaneous criminal investigations
Speaker 1: all over the state with the possibility that Cuomo could
Speaker 1: be charged criminally in all of this. The big question
Speaker 1: is what, if anything, would he be charged with. We've
Speaker 1: gone on with that in great specificity, in detail with
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett on this program, and it has now led
Speaker 1: to law enforcement officials doing this. On Sunday, the Albany
Speaker 1: County Sheriff, a guy by the name of Craig Apple,
Speaker 1: hinted at a possible result in the case involving this woman,
Speaker 1: Brittany Camiso. Now she was known up until this interview
Speaker 1: with CBS. This weekend as executive assist at number one
Speaker 1: who brought the most serious allegations against the governor, But
Speaker 1: she was not the first person to specifically say that groping, grabbing,
Speaker 1: unwanted touching, etc. Had taken place. Now there's some disagreement.
Speaker 1: Would it be a misdemeanor? Maybe a few misdemeanors couldn't
Speaker 1: mean jail time. Well, if it's a misdemeanor, forcible touching
Speaker 1: allegations could result in a year behind bars. Do I
Speaker 1: think that would happen? Probably not knowing New York as
Speaker 1: well as I do, but anyway, it could possibly be that.
Speaker 1: And then the criminal defense attorney and former Brooklyn prosecutor
Speaker 1: agreeing with the assessment. And but two things happened in
Speaker 1: the last forty eight seventy two hours that tipped the
Speaker 1: balance here. And that was the up till recent up
Speaker 1: till this weekend. Unknown name of the executive assist at
Speaker 1: number one, The interview that was given on sixty on
Speaker 1: CBS rather Brittany Camiso. And you know, when I watched this,
Speaker 1: I just kept saying, Wow, she's extraordinarily articulate, incredible, and
Speaker 1: it was it was beyond compelling. Let me play some
Speaker 1: of the highlights of that interview that took place on CBS.
Speaker 1: I had to go over to the mansion to help
Speaker 1: the governor with a state of the State speech. I
Speaker 1: wasn't there late I would did my final edit, and
Speaker 1: while I was upstairs in the office, the governor said,
Speaker 1: why don't we take a selfie? So his suggestion, yes,
Speaker 1: your phone with my phone. I then felt, while taking
Speaker 1: the selfie, his hand go down my back to my
Speaker 1: butt and he started rubbing it, not sliding it, not
Speaker 1: you know, quickly brushing over it, rubbing my butt and
Speaker 1: did you ask him what are you doing? Well? This
Speaker 1: was while I was taking the selfie. I became so
Speaker 1: nervous that my hands were clearly shaking, and a lot
Speaker 1: of the photos that I was snapping or completely blurry.
Speaker 1: I showed him them and he said, oh, you know
Speaker 1: those aren't you know? Those aren't good. And he said,
Speaker 1: why don't we go sit on the couch and we
Speaker 1: can take a better one. So you said, on the couch,
Speaker 1: I said on the couch because I thought to myself, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think on the couch that he would have
Speaker 1: a way to just do what he just did. So
Speaker 1: I felt safer actually on the couch, and in the photo,
Speaker 1: you know, I have my arm wrapped around his shoulder,
Speaker 1: you know, almost as if you know, we were taking
Speaker 1: a picture with a buddy, and that is the one
Speaker 1: that has been blurred out, that has been now released
Speaker 1: to the public. So he gets up and he goes
Speaker 1: to give me a hug, and I could tell immediately
Speaker 1: when he hugged me it was in a probably the
Speaker 1: most sexually aggressive manner than any of the other hugs
Speaker 1: that he had given me. It was then that I said,
Speaker 1: you know, Governor, you know, my words were, you're going
Speaker 1: to get us in trouble. And I thought to myself
Speaker 1: that probably wasn't the best thing to say, But at
Speaker 1: that time I was so afraid that one of the
Speaker 1: mansion staff that they were going to come up and
Speaker 1: see this and think, oh, you know, is that what
Speaker 1: she comes here for? And that's not what I came
Speaker 1: there for, and that's not who I am. And I
Speaker 1: was terrified of that. And when I said that, he
Speaker 1: walked over shut the door so hard to the point
Speaker 1: where I thought, for sure someone downstairs must think, they
Speaker 1: must think if they heard that, what is going on?
Speaker 1: Came back to me and that's when he put his
Speaker 1: hand up my blouse and cupped my breast over my
Speaker 1: bra I exactly remember looking down seeing his hand, which
Speaker 1: is a large hand, thinking to myself, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is happening. It happened so quick. He didn't say
Speaker 1: anything when I stopped it. He just pulled away and
Speaker 1: walked away. Now the numbers up to thirteen. I guess
Speaker 1: New York now. Not only is he going to be
Speaker 1: replaced by the first female governor in New York state history,
Speaker 1: but Cuomo will become the second elected New York state
Speaker 1: governor in a row to be forced from office over
Speaker 1: a sex scandal. You know, I guess New York now
Speaker 1: two for two. First obviously being Elliot Spitzer. He was
Speaker 1: forced out in two thousand and eight after he was
Speaker 1: caught patronizing I guess high end prostitutes. In Cuomo's case,
Speaker 1: he will be replaced by the lieutenant governor. Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: In Spitzer's case, it was David Patterson. Well, actually was
Speaker 1: a very nice person. I got to know him a
Speaker 1: little bit personally. He decided not to run again after
Speaker 1: questions emerged about whether he had accepted free tickets to
Speaker 1: a Yankee game. Cuomo was the New York State Attorney
Speaker 1: General at the time, known to be interested in running
Speaker 1: for governors. So there was some question about whether Cuomo
Speaker 1: you know, made a deal with Patterson to bow out,
Speaker 1: but that's a speculation. Patterson was New York's first African
Speaker 1: American governor. Anyway, So Andrew Andrew Cuomo becomes governor, and
Speaker 1: you know, here we are. I guess now back to
Speaker 1: square one in New York. A lot of this isn't
Speaker 1: just gonna It's not gonna matter in New York. I
Speaker 1: don't see New York State changing now. I don't know
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Neither does anyone else know a whole
Speaker 1: lot about the lieutenant governor. To be very frank, she's
Speaker 1: a Democrat. She's from a pretty conservative district actually in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: and does she have any appetite or desire to take
Speaker 1: on an Assembly and a state Senate that you know,
Speaker 1: it's sort of New Green Deal socialism, AOC mindset that
Speaker 1: rules Albany, New York, just like it does in Washington.
Speaker 1: Article for the New York State Constitution. She takes over
Speaker 1: as governor. She'll be New York's fifty seventh chief executive,
Speaker 1: the first female governor in the state's nearly two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty year history. She said she agreed with Cuomo's
Speaker 1: decision to step down. It's the right thing to do,
Speaker 1: It's in the best interest of New Yorkers, and put
Speaker 1: emphasize that it as someone who served at all levels
Speaker 1: of government and is next in line of success should
Speaker 1: um I'm prepared to lead. She's sixty two years old
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, Syracuse University graduate. Okay, I don't think most
Speaker 1: people really care. Is there gonna be anything different? So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fourteen days effective. And uh look, look
Speaker 1: the problem with New York is just so much bigger now.
Speaker 1: It was interesting. I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to make of Ronan Pharaoh's article. I printed it out.
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to read it all yet. Um,
Speaker 1: But apparently Cuomo called the Obama White House to attack
Speaker 1: a federal prosecute. I believe it with Free Brehara at
Speaker 1: the time, and that would be the that would be
Speaker 1: you know that that's where the Southern District of New York.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where Andy McCarthy and guys like Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani came up out of UM. I actually met him
Speaker 1: once at media party. Member Linda actually was a pretty
Speaker 1: nice guy, nice to me. Yeah, runs his own podcast.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's nothing listen. If you're working in that district,
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York, you're a serious lawyer.
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. Their reputation is warranted,
Speaker 1: they're they're tough. It's amazing how many of you want
Speaker 1: to weigh in on this. Maybe we'll take calls in
Speaker 1: the next half hour, right, you know, because it's just
Speaker 1: interesting people's perspective of all of this. I just knew
Speaker 1: it was gonna happen because it was either going to
Speaker 1: get impeached. I wasn't sure he'd resign, but I knew
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to continue. That part was clear. But yes,
Speaker 1: if you're just joining us, Andrew Cuomo resigning effective fourteen
Speaker 1: days from now, the Lieutenant Governor of New York will
Speaker 1: in fact take over in that state and be the
Speaker 1: first female governor of the state of New York. And
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. Now, there's some other things here,
Speaker 1: remember Lucy Flores and Tera Tera read Is spoken out
Speaker 1: to Foxnews dot Com. My heart is with the brave
Speaker 1: Cuomo survivors who endured attempts to discredit them like I
Speaker 1: did coming forward about Joe Biden. May there be some
Speaker 1: measure of justice for the survivors. Now, let's call for
Speaker 1: a real investigation into Joe Biden. One big difference seems
Speaker 1: like Joe is in the medium mob big tech protection program.
Speaker 1: Another way, we have some polling in in California. The
Speaker 1: recall election question one to recall Adam Newsom is growing
Speaker 1: by leaps and bounds. We'll get to all of that
Speaker 1: coming up straight ahead. Breaking news all afternoon. When you
Speaker 1: get off work, be sure to check in first for
Speaker 1: everything you miss during the day. This is the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. And I love New York and I love you,
Speaker 1: and everything I have ever done has been motivated by
Speaker 1: that love. And I would never want to be unhelpful
Speaker 1: in any way. And I think that given the circumstances,
Speaker 1: the best way I can help now is if I
Speaker 1: step aside and let government get back to governing. And
Speaker 1: therefore that's what I'll do, because I work for you,
Speaker 1: and doing the right thing is doing the right thing
Speaker 1: for you, Because as we say, it's not about me,
Speaker 1: it's about we Jackie Hoklan, my Lieutenant governor, is smart
Speaker 1: and competent. This transition must be seamless. We have a
Speaker 1: lot going on. I'm very worried about the delta variant,
Speaker 1: and so should you be. But she can come up
Speaker 1: to speed quickly. And my resignation will be effective in
Speaker 1: fourteen days. Okay. So that's that's the latest. With all
Speaker 1: of that. One thing, there's something happening that I believe
Speaker 1: we need to just start paying attention to because I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people. You know, we're watching the
Speaker 1: border and it is beyond devastating. Now when the numbers
Speaker 1: came out yesterday and we talked about it and we're
Speaker 1: pointing out, oh, just oh, it's only war Team twenty
Speaker 1: percent of people. I mean, that is a huge amount
Speaker 1: of money. What's going on at the southern border and
Speaker 1: the huge percentage of people rather that are coming into
Speaker 1: this country that are COVID positive and it's all happening
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden's watch. What's funny is even the Washington
Speaker 1: Post editorial board is slamming the incoherent agenda the border agencies. Now,
Speaker 1: some agencies are saying COVID positivity rate among the illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants is twenty percent one in five. Okay, Well, what
Speaker 1: happens when you're putting Joe Biden's overcrowded cages and then
Speaker 1: dispersed in the dark and night all you know, all
Speaker 1: over the country. Well, they're bringing COVID with them in
Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of a
Speaker 1: new variant wave known as the Delta variant, which is
Speaker 1: far more contagious than previous variants. We have other variants
Speaker 1: now on the horizon. There will be at least two
Speaker 1: more that we know of as of today, starting with
Speaker 1: the one out of Peru, the Lambda variant. And you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear about the next variant. And now the CDC
Speaker 1: directors are saying, well, you know, even though you got vaccinated,
Speaker 1: can you can still contract COVID nineteen? I mean, you
Speaker 1: just you can't make any of this up. But this
Speaker 1: is now, this is Biden's America. You know, for all
Speaker 1: the talk about super spreader events and Biden hiding in
Speaker 1: his basement bunker, we know the real reason Biden was
Speaker 1: hiding on his basement bunker. Biden was hiding in his
Speaker 1: basement bunker because he wasn't capable of maintaining the strength
Speaker 1: of a schedule of a real presidential campaign, and they
Speaker 1: use COVID as an excuse, just like you know when
Speaker 1: they ignored laws in all these states. That's a partisan observed.
Speaker 1: Get to watch the vote counts start to finish. Partisan
Speaker 1: observers put back twenty one hundred feet or not in
Speaker 1: allowed at all. Is not following the law. Well, that
Speaker 1: raises integrity issues and confidence and result issues. As we
Speaker 1: have seen, there's certain things that ought to be basic.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna have vaccine mandates, and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: mask mandates, and you're gonna need a vaccine passport to
Speaker 1: get into a bar or sporting event in New York
Speaker 1: in California, well, I'm sure the very same people that
Speaker 1: support those those vaccine passports are not going to be
Speaker 1: against voter ID laws, are they. Oh, that's right, they
Speaker 1: already are on record against them. Tell me why Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: for fifty plus years as a senator from the state
Speaker 1: of Delaware, never once lifted a finger to make voting
Speaker 1: in Delaware more accessible because there wasn't an issue. This
Speaker 1: is the Democrats at this point in twenty two, and
Speaker 1: he taken advantage of COVID, Biden gets to hide out
Speaker 1: in his basement bunker, even botch up the campaign from
Speaker 1: down there, barely gets covered by the mob and the media.
Speaker 1: You know, big story breaks about zero experience Hunter is laptop,
Speaker 1: but we can't, we can't run with that story. Will
Speaker 1: hide that story from the American people, will delete it
Speaker 1: from any major social, big tech media conglomerate companies as
Speaker 1: a means of helping Biden. I mean, these are troubling times.
Speaker 1: Now look at the results of Okay, you don't have
Speaker 1: signature verification, voter ID, chain of custody control, you don't
Speaker 1: have you know, you don't clean up and modernize and
Speaker 1: update voter rolls every election season. I mean, these are
Speaker 1: all simple things to do, just common sense. You know.
Speaker 1: I would assume then the the ID requirement to get
Speaker 1: in the White House that's going to end too, and
Speaker 1: the ID requirement to get into the Capitol that's going
Speaker 1: to go away. And the picture ID that I've needed
Speaker 1: for every Democratic national convention I've covered in my career,
Speaker 1: that that will go away in the next election when
Speaker 1: I'm covering that convention, that'll go away too. You see
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy, it's breathtaking. I'll tell you what's happening is
Speaker 1: people have had it. I don't know one person. You know.
Speaker 1: I can afford to pay the extra what dollar thirty
Speaker 1: a gallon I'm now paying for gasoline? I can afford it,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't. I don't know. From the
Speaker 1: time I was struggling to make my rent payments early
Speaker 1: in my adult life, which was a significant number of years,
Speaker 1: to where I am now, I don't know. My mindset
Speaker 1: hasn't really changed. It's kind of why. I yeah, I
Speaker 1: shun certain things that people don't understand. Why I don't
Speaker 1: dress bet or wear a watch. I don't want to
Speaker 1: watch to a waste of money for me. I end
Speaker 1: up buying watches for everybody else, but I don't want them.
Speaker 1: I don't want them for myself. Linda, how true? Is
Speaker 1: that story? Very very true? I don't want to get it.
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to get caught in
Speaker 1: the trappings of crap of stuff. I have enough or
Speaker 1: be forced to be on time. You know, it's good
Speaker 1: to have an excuse for being chronically late. That is
Speaker 1: really a mean, backhanded slap. That is never so. I
Speaker 1: would never do that. You always try your best to
Speaker 1: be on time, and it's the effort that can You
Speaker 1: didn't even realize it, and I didn't say anything, you know,
Speaker 1: on whatever trip we were on recently, and anyway, you
Speaker 1: send out an email, Yeah, we're gonna say we're leaving
Speaker 1: it at seven thirty, eight thirty in Hannity time, so
Speaker 1: we're all really planning on me. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I was there on time. No, you were not. No,
Speaker 1: you were not. You're so full of it. I wasn't
Speaker 1: on your fake because I knew it was a fake
Speaker 1: time that you were telling everybody it was not a
Speaker 1: time was the real? Okay time chain. First of all,
Speaker 1: the fake time was six am, the real time was
Speaker 1: seven thirty. Hannity arrival time in Hannity Land was eight
Speaker 1: twenty seven. You see the differences is you have these
Speaker 1: fears you and Blair about being able to set up
Speaker 1: equipment and how much times it's called giving your team
Speaker 1: enough time to set up. I have more confidence in
Speaker 1: your abilities than you do. No, you're chronically late. Chronically
Speaker 1: prior to every every trip, you guys do your due diligence,
Speaker 1: You test the equipment, you make sure everything's working. You
Speaker 1: double check that you have backups of anything that could
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong, and then we and then we arrive,
Speaker 1: all the backups fail, the internet doesn't work, the engineer
Speaker 1: on staff is on vacation. But your checklist, guys, But
Speaker 1: if I at another hour for those things out beyond
Speaker 1: my control? Did we get on the air. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: thanks to Hannity clock time that whole circle yore. Welcome.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you updated your sun dial, maybe you'd be
Speaker 1: better off. If maybe, if I wanted you to chime
Speaker 1: in on her side, I would have invited you just
Speaker 1: saying it is it like just saying I love my team.
Speaker 1: They just feel free to just bash their boss. Thing
Speaker 1: that you're saying, you don't need another watch? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I almost lost myself there. Who do you mean I
Speaker 1: don't have a single watch? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Get a few? Jeez? How many do you have? I
Speaker 1: have a digital watch all the time. As soon as
Speaker 1: I got into this business. It's one of the first
Speaker 1: things electronic device that changes often because I keep losing
Speaker 1: it or dropping it in the toilet. Twenty one. You
Speaker 1: don't have to use your potato clock, Okay, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: all right, so I used the phone has time. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's three forty four eastern, twelve forty four on the
Speaker 1: West coast. You like me to update you? Do you
Speaker 1: want me to do it by the second? I can
Speaker 1: do that too, if I think that'll be for me.
Speaker 1: How I still I wouldn't be able to do it
Speaker 1: on my own. I will tell you what you are
Speaker 1: good at, what I want to compliment. Sure you're ready? Okay. So,
Speaker 1: out of any host I know in the entire business,
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this with other hosts, you
Speaker 1: have the most ridiculous recollection of call letters of stations,
Speaker 1: which is uncanny because I love my stations, Yes you do,
Speaker 1: but it's it's pretty incredible. You never get it at
Speaker 1: a record I think what it was at six sixty five. Now,
Speaker 1: that's right. I'm very grateful. Just shows you there's a
Speaker 1: lot of conservatives out there. They're just not as loud
Speaker 1: as the liberals because they're at work. Now let me
Speaker 1: tell you we're gonna the things are gonna change. Look
Speaker 1: at the look at this news just thenews dot com.
Speaker 1: At a survey USA San Diego Union Trib Pole, fifty
Speaker 1: one percent of Californians now want to recall Newsom. The
Speaker 1: only thing I worry about the only thing I worry
Speaker 1: about is integrity and elections out there because it's run
Speaker 1: by all Democrats, and it's there's only forty percent of
Speaker 1: Californians against they recall. That means that the people that,
Speaker 1: you know, if they did vote to keep Newsome or
Speaker 1: not recall him, not that passionate about Newsom. And how
Speaker 1: could you be with all of his hypocrisy, you know,
Speaker 1: By the way, days before attending Obama's massless super spreader
Speaker 1: Matha's vineyard birthday bash, John Legend lectured Americans on maskuarring.
Speaker 1: I wondered if very lectured the crowd at Obama's party
Speaker 1: of mask wearing this tarr read comment was pretty interesting
Speaker 1: to me. You know, Okay, they're gonna follow now Cuomo's
Speaker 1: example and resign. Remember the media just they protect who
Speaker 1: they want to protect. They only go usually the only
Speaker 1: after Republicans. There's some others. There's some story to this
Speaker 1: that we'll find out at some point. I gotta give
Speaker 1: a tip of the hat today to I have a
Speaker 1: couple of things I want to talk about. Give tips
Speaker 1: of that too. Chicago cops. You know, if you you
Speaker 1: know Chicago police have had it seventy three shootings this weekend.
Speaker 1: There's twenty nine year old police officer shot and killed.
Speaker 1: The first reports we had said that she had a
Speaker 1: two month old child. That turned out not to be true.
Speaker 1: So I want to correct the record on that and
Speaker 1: apologize for getting that wrong. But the mayor was given
Speaker 1: the cold shoulder by Chicago Police Department rank and file
Speaker 1: midnight on Saturday when she went to the University Chicago
Speaker 1: Medical Center when she approached them on the seventh floor
Speaker 1: as they grappled with the shootings of two officers, one
Speaker 1: still in critical condition, and Ella French passed away and
Speaker 1: was killed during the one of these so called routine
Speaker 1: traffic stops that everyone tells about. Nothing's routine about it.
Speaker 1: So sad. She had a whole life ahead of her.
Speaker 1: Her partners fought fighting for his life in the hospital
Speaker 1: moments before about thirty officers. They turned their backs on
Speaker 1: the mayor and tried to as Lightfoot tried to talk
Speaker 1: to the mail officer's father, who himself has retired Chicago Police.
Speaker 1: He clearly wanted nothing to do with this woman, this mayor.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, the father excoriated the mayor blamed her for
Speaker 1: what had happened. How could you not blame any every politician.
Speaker 1: There's one guy, this guy we had on TV last night.
Speaker 1: What's the guy's named? The Alderman Raymond? What's his name?
Speaker 1: I forgot? It was great last night. I want to
Speaker 1: give another tip of the hat. You know, we hear
Speaker 1: about all the what's up Lopez? Yeah, he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: He's been on our show a number of times. I
Speaker 1: like him a lot. So you have this this US wrestler.
Speaker 1: Her name is Tamera Mensa Stock. She won gold medal
Speaker 1: the first time ever. By the way, um, and I
Speaker 1: didn't know you actually win money when you win a
Speaker 1: gold medal, you know, win a lot. It's thirty seven thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. She's taking all of that money and
Speaker 1: giving it to her mom. This is this is the
Speaker 1: young woman that said I love my country. I love
Speaker 1: representing American. That American flag round her shoulders looks pretty good.
Speaker 1: How does that feeling to represent your country like this?
Speaker 1: It feels amazing. I loveless. I'm freaking love living there.
Speaker 1: I love it and I'm so happy. I mean, she's
Speaker 1: taking all of her winnings and giving it to her
Speaker 1: mom so her mom could fulfill her dream of getting
Speaker 1: a food truck. It's been her dream. I told her
Speaker 1: five years ago. All right, Mom, I'll get you the
Speaker 1: food truck, but you gotta be responsible. And this is
Speaker 1: the daughter telling her mom. That cracks me up. So
Speaker 1: Mom's getting her food truck and she's gonna have a
Speaker 1: cooking business. She can really cook, really well barbecue. I mean,
Speaker 1: how great is how great of stories this? Anyway, she
Speaker 1: you know, I guess her mom, and she lost her
Speaker 1: dad in a terrible car accident I found out. Since
Speaker 1: she's going to continue wrestling, wants to compete in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. I mean, is there anything
Speaker 1: we could do for her? We gotta think about something
Speaker 1: cool to do. She She's just the only thing I
Speaker 1: cared about in the Olympics was her story so far.
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of everybody else that has won. And
Speaker 1: I just respect athletes. I just all of those politics
Speaker 1: and sports has just turned me off.
