Welcome to the revolution, come. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:52.840 To your. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.160 Doing the way, I'll get talas and saying you a 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.160 conscious zal. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.640 New Sean Hennity Show, more I'm the Scenes, information on 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:10.480 freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:11.800 And thanks Scott Channon. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.280 Hour two Sean Hennity Show, eight hundred and nine to 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.680 four one Shawn our number. If you want to be 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.440 a part of the program, you know we're getting a 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.880 lot of reaction to Jimmy Kimmel in definite suspension. I 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.919 don't think he's coming back. I don't think he should 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:31.240 come back. It's it's very simple what happens in television. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.600 And I went through in the last hour list of people, 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.920 well known names that have been fired over the years 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:43.080 and people that have come and gone and then also 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.440 you know, move on to different you know, different platforms 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.440 and move on with their career. But it's very common 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.840 in the industry if you're a broadcaster, very common. Unfortunately, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.520 I didn't see anybody any outrage from the left when 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.640 Rose Embarga fired ABC, that was ABC Disney. I didn't 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.480 see any outrage. Bob Grant was a legendary talk show 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.400 host in New York and he got fired for controversial 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.440 remarks that he made after Ron Brown's plane, then Clinton's 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.560 Commerce Circuit secretary at the time he was fired. I 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.399 didn't see anybody, you know, seem to care at all. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.359 I mean, it's it's very simple. These these late night 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.400 comedy shows have fallen into a death trap for themselves, 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.200 and that is number one. They're not accomplishing their main mission, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.040 which is to be funny. They're not and as a result, 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.240 they have lost, you know, dramatic portions of their audience. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.040 And when you lose your audience, then you lose revenue. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.880 When you lose revenue, you're not valuable to the network 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.079 that you're working for. And at that point it becomes inevitable. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.680 And I don't care if I've never seen Jimmy this 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.919 angry in his entire life. Jimmy celebrated when Tucker Carlson 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.560 got fired. So you know, let's stop the hypocrisy here. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:09.560 And if he wanted to be a commentator political commentator, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.160 there's places he can do it. You can do it 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.880 on Fake News C and NMSDNC, he can do it 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.360 on his own podcast. He will have opportunities to have 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:25.440 a broadcasting career or a career giving whatever commentary he wants. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.720 But that if you can't get a mass audience and 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.760 you know you're barely getting above a one share on 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:36.560 a broadcast channel, that is that you're not going to survive. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.520 It's simple, one plus one equals two. Now, it's interesting. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.840 After the firing of Colbert, Jay Leno spoke up and 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:44.720 this is what he said. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.520 There was an analysis done of your work on the 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.600 Tonight Show for the twenty two years and that your 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:55.000 jokes were roughly equally balanced between going after Republicans and 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.360 taking aim at Democrats. 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.600 Well that's a strategy that Well, it's fun to me 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.840 when I hate letters some damns on you and your 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.760 Republican friends, who well miss and I hope you and 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.520 your Democratic buddies are happy over the same joke. And 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:07.400 I go, well, that's good. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.880 So that's how you get a whole audience. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.920 Now you have to be content with half the audience 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.400 because you have to give your opinion. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.159 Well, and it's worth noting that both you and Roddie 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.039 Dingerfield experienced and have been experiencing enormous success. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.640 Right, so your approach worked in the marketplace. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.359 Well why shoot for just half an audience all the time? 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.599 You know, why not try to get the whole? I mean, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.400 I like to bring people into the big picture. I 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:37.040 don't understand why you would alienate one particular group, you know, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.560 or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.840 you have to throw your support or whatever, but just 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.680 do what's funny. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.800 Just do what's funny. If it's a late nine comedy show. Now, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.159 if you want to do a political commentary, show or 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.880 a news show with political opinion like I do. And 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.800 you're honest about it. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.480 It's a very. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.640 Different it's a very different venue of very different me medium. 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.640 And you know, here's what Johnny Carson said to Mike 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.279 Wallace back in the day on sixty Minutes about this 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.400 very same issue. 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.000 Ex sensitive about the fact that people say he'll never 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.840 take a serious controversy. Well, I have an answer to that. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.039 I said, no, tell me the last time that Jack 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:22.480 Benny red Skelton uh Benny comedian use his. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.839 Show to do serious issues. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.440 That's not what I'm there for. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.200 Can't they see that? 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:28.120 But you and I do. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.560 They think that just because you have it tonight's show, 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.479 that you must deal in serious issues. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.120 It's a danger, it's a real danger. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.160 Once you start that, you start to forget that self 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.960 important feeling that what you say has great import And 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.240 you know, strangely enough, you could use that show as 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.240 a form you could sway people. And I don't think 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.360 you should as an entertainer. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.279 I don't think you should as an entertainer. You know, 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.360 over the years, this show has been targeted and targeted 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:58.440 repeatedly headline the rap when was this twenty seventeen, Fox 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:03.719 News should fire Sean Hannah Media matters head says uniquely destructive? 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:09.520 Another article, will Fox News fires Sean Hannity a naive 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:15.279 and hopeful analysis. These are Sean Hannity's leading advertisers. You know, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.960 when when my personal text messages were released and they 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.920 were thousands of them on two separate occasions, nobody cared 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.800 about Sean Hannity's privacy. And I'm not complaining. I'm not 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.160 complaining at all. I understand the political environment al Sharpton 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.400 to a FCC take racist Rush Limbaugh off the air. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.680 It goes on left wing coming after Rush Limbaugh trying 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:43.240 to take him off the air, and it's politics Nation, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.000 Should Rush Limbaugh be on the air? Rose and Barr. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.200 I mean, you can go, you can go through the list, 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:55.120 Dave Chappelle, it was people like Jimmy Kimmel's celebrating Tucker 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.560 Carlson when he when he was taking off the air 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.840 at Fox. And you know, and then the list goes 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.760 on and on, and you don't have to agree with 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.520 people you don't even have. The thing is about all 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.080 of this, and this is what Brendan Carr was saying 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:14.880 last night broadcast networks have a license and they have 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.480 to act in the public interest. That that's how you 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.360 get a broadcast license. You don't have to work for 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.680 any of the broadcast channels. There are more outlets, more 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.440 opportunities to be heard than ever before in the history 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.600 of this country. If you wanted to start your own podcast, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.440 start your own podcast. If you can develop an audience, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.760 then develop an audience. If Jimmy Kimmel wants to do, 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.559 I'm not celebrating. I've never on this program, never on TV, 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:47.320 not one time ever called for anybody's firing, anybody's cancelation, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.960 never call for any boycotting. Nobody ever seemed to care 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.960 on the left when it happened to me, the only 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.400 when it was I was boycotted. One time, I was 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.200 blown away. Carric Hads pulled off my show and made 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.840 a big deal about it the coffee Machine, and out 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.360 of nowhere, people just started, you know, dropping their carrig machines, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:14.280 you know, from the third story apartments and shooting carrag 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.239 machines and hitting them with baseball bats and golf clubs. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.200 And it went viral and in the end they came 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.800 back on the show. But I couldn't believe the amount 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.520 of support I got from people, you know, organically it 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.800 happened anyway. Joining us to weigh in on all of this, 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.000 Carol Roth, two time New York Times bestselling author You 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.720 Will Own Nothing, and a recovering investment banker. Our friend 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.920 Mark Simone, host of the number one morning show in 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:46.640 New York City on our affiliate there, the All New 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.959 Am seven to ten wo R. Carol Roth will start 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.760 with you. Your reaction to all of this. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.520 Yeah, I mean giving everybody a mic and saying, hey, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:02.560 we should hear everybody's political opinion was a really, really 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.880 bad idea, Sean, And unfortunately that's really what enabled the 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.480 shift from what was entertainment with Johnny Carson, as you 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.280 put forth in Jay Leno, to these want to be commentators, which, 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.920 as you mentioned, there are plenty of outlets to do that, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.480 but that's not what they're charged with doing. They're actually 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.240 supposed to be giving people a respite from all of 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.760 the news and information that's coming at them from other 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.960 outlets that specialize in that. But it is very frustrating, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.120 as somebody who has also been the target of cancel culture, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:45.080 to now see people pretending to be free speech absolutists. 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.560 So you know, we must stand up, we must stand 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.240 up for Jimmy Kimmel. Well, you guys were the first ones, 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.600 like you said, to call for the firing of everyone 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.120 else you don't believe in individual rights. You were the 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.640 first people to you know, all people out for not 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.199 taking COVID vaccines and the like. So why, all of 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.160 a sudden, just because somebody who is on their side, 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.679 who by the way, you know, took the absolute gruesome 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.439 killing of a father in front of children, and instead 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.120 of just saying something nice and trying to turn down 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.960 the divisiveness, decided to go in another direction. You know, why, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.080 all of a sudden is that more important than the 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.400 fact that somebody, a young man, a young father, got 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:32.720 killed in front of his children. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.720 And Mark, we saw this years ago. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.200 I mentioned Bob Grant in New York when when Ron 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.680 Brown's plane went down and apparently there had been a 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.240 report that there was one survivor. I know it's him 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.119 a I know it's after all, I am a pessimist. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.920 ABC Disney came in in all similar circumstances, you know, 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.400 in sensitive comments after somebody dead or likely dead, and 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.760 he was fired immediately by ABC Disney. We have Roseanne 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.560 barbiing fired by ABC Disney. This is not new. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.439 Yeah, there's also another example of go woke, go broke. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.800 You know, Jimmy Kimmel years ago was actually funny. I 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.680 remember The Man Show and all those things. He did 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.840 not politically correct, but it was funny back then. And 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.880 then I know this was something ABC was looking to do. Anyway, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.719 get rid of him. It's a low rated show. This 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.079 show that I'm on right now has what sixteen times 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.200 the size of an audience. It was a low rated show, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.839 Jimmy Kimmel. It was losing money if you. 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.720 Are underestimating the size of this audience. But I'll forgive 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.760 you because we've been friends for so many years. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.720 Nineteen but whatever. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.480 I don't know the exact extrapolation. 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.439 But they I know this started Monday. They wanted him 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.200 to apologize, walk it back. He had two days to 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.080 walk it back, and apparently he refused to apologize. He 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.160 said he would explain it that it was taken out 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:02.800 of context, which is absolutely I had to watch MSNBC 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.959 for a few minutes last night. I knew it'd be hysterical, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.440 and it was. They were going on. This is the 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.520 end of our democracy. Listen. We survived the cancelation of 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.840 Gilligan's Island Threes Company two and a half. Men, we'll 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.000 get through this. The country will survive this. You know 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.120 what's going to happen. They'll start running reruns of an 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.760 Old'll put on Law and Order reruns or suits or 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.280 something in that time period, and it will get triple 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.199 to quadruple the ratings, and that'll share what people think 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:30.000 of Jimmy Kimmel. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:31.480 Quick, Frank Cool come back. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.120 We'll continue more with Carol rothmore with Mark Simon on 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.600 the other side, and then we'll get to your phone 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.880 calls coming up eight hundred and ninety four to one, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.720 Sean if you want to be a part of the program. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.160 All right, we continue now talking about the firing of well, 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.920 the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. I doubt he's coming 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.760 back to ABC. We continue with Carol Roth and Mark Simone. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.280 I saw that rose am bar Barack Obama put out. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.640 After years of complaining about canceled culture, the current administration 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.400 has taking it is taking it to a new and 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:04.959 dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.280 unless they muzzle or fire reporters or commentators they don't like. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.040 Now the president is not shy and saying that this 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.480 person or that person should be fired hasn't taken any action. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.160 Is not one person that. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.439 I can think of, Carol, not one prominent conservative voice 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.800 that has been out there demanding calling for the firing, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:31.360 boycotting of Jimmy Kimmel, something we conservators have lived with 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:32.559 for decades. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.680 No, you're absolutely right, because it's not the way of 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.960 the right. The way of the right, you know, as 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.520 is shown broadly by the reaction here, is shown by 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.600 the you know, Charlie Kirks example is to debate people, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.880 to put different ideas out there, and to show in 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.079 a free market what ideas work and what don't. And 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.559 you know, unfortunately, I think Mark made a really good 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.800 point that the free market was saying that these ideas 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.559 put out by Jimmy Kimmel just weren't that popular. And 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.240 we saw that, you know, in his numbers and his ratings. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:11.160 So there's probably, you know, a catalyst behind this decision, 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.920 But there is a stark contrast. I mean, think about this. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:20.360 After Charlie's assassination, nobody needed to board up their windows. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:21.040 There was no. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.800 Fear that cities were going to be burned down, because 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.720 that's not the road of people who believe in individual rights. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.080 So now all of a sudden that something's happening to 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.320 someone that they think is the mouthpiece for their propaganda 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.520 to pretend that they, you know, have always believed this. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.720 We have the evidence time and time again, and you 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.040 can't tell us, you know what it is that we've seen. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:47.560 You know. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.440 I just find it amusing that the left is melting 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.040 down over this. Here's the good news for Jimmy Kimmel. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.560 Not that I like him, and I'm not celebrating the 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.640 way he celebrated Tucker cross demise, but the good news 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.000 for him, Mark Simona, is he's going to play opportunities 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.240 if he wants his voice heard. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.200 Yeah, I keep talking about free speech. He's got it. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.920 He can speak all he wants, and this time it's 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.920 for free So there's your free speech. It's perfect. So 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:19.240 when Tucker before Tucker was trying to remember, Chuck Schumer 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.520 held a press conference demanding that he'd be fired, sort 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.280 of a threatening press conference to Fox and that they 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.080 had to fire him. So again it's the hypocrisy. Democrats 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:34.280 are famous for Jimmy Kimmel. You know that Carson Cliff 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.640 that you played. Should listen to that over and over again. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.280 I watched Johnny Carson for years and Jay Leno for years. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.480 I still can't tell you where they stood politically. And 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.000 I knew Johnny Carson, I know Jay Leno. I still 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.600 can't tell you where they stand politically. And they were 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.880 much much funnier and a thousand times more successful. There's 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.520 a big lesson there for broadcasters. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.800 Yeah, I think a great lesson anyway. Mark Simon, thank you, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.480 Carol Rath, thank you. I appreciate both of you. Thanks 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.120 so much for being with us. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:03.920 Good sun. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.800 All right, eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn. If you 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.760 want to be a part of the program, A twenty 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.520 five now to the top of the hour. Eight hundred 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.480 nine point one, Shawn, our number. If you want to 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.720 be a part of the program, please have a personal 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.240 safety security plan for you, for your children, for your family, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.680 for your employees. This is a very dangerous world we 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.000 live in. One fact you need to know. According to 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.720 law enforcement statistics, ninety nine percent of altercations do not 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.040 require lethal force. And that's where the technology of burner 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.320 comes in. It is the less lethal option. I always 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:40.240 have both, and there's a reason why. This technology of 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.800 burner is now trusted by over five hundred government agencies, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:49.040 police departments, private security firms. One shot can incapacitate an 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:53.440 attacker thirty to forty minutes, and the burner launcher has 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.320 powerful deterrence. Here, gas pepper, spray, kinetic grounds. You can 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.480 hit a target fifty sixty feet away. You don't need 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.840 a background check, you don't need a permit. It's legal 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.600 in all fifty states. And they have their new compact launcher, 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.760 the smallest to date, four inches long, too, smartphones thick. 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.960 It's easy to conceal, carry on your body without attracting 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.480 unnecessary attention. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.560 But it's powerful. 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.160 It fires at four hundred feet per second, forty one 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:23.399 jewels of force per square inch, and you're gonna want it. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.320 By the way, all these launchers are hand assembled in 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.520 Fort Wayne, Indiana. Now, if you don't take don't take 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.840 my word for it, go look at their videos online 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:36.439 see how this technology how effective it is at protecting people. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:41.160 Go to BYRNA dot com now or check it out 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:45.040 at your local sportsman's warehouse. Location today. But protect yourself, 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.440 your family in this very dangerous time we all live in. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.919 All right, let's get to our busy phones. Zach is 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.480 in Missouri. Hey, Zach, how are you?

It was the good old days. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:26.480 It's so hard to play music now on this radio show. 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.200 I actually have cover bands that we used to make 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:34.480 our music because the amount of money that these music 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.560 companies will charge you if you play thirty seconds of 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.080 a song is insane. 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.600 It would be it would make this show. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.879 I we'd have to cancel me because we wouldn't be 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.159 in the red, we wouldn't make any money. They're charging 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.480 so much just to just to run thirty seconds of 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.760 a song. You'd think they would want heard on seven 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.120 hundred and fifty stations. 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.560 That's that's crazy.

Anyway, what's on your mind today, my. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.840 Friend, Well, thoughts and prayers on Charlie Kirk and his family. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.719 You know, been thinking about him a lot, you know, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.240 it's very tough times. 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:12.560 Also. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.159 Second of all, you know the radicalization the left. You know, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.280 twenty years ago they weren't they weren't really this radical. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.720 I mean, like what what made him like go far left? 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.520 I mean, like this isn't like the Democrat Party of 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.440 twenty years ago. It's like it's like mind blowing. It's 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.240 like they hate the country and like, you know, why 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.560 represent part that I don't get is why would you 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.320 want to represent a country that you hate? You know, 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.080 It's just it's mind blowing to me. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.720 Uh, I don't know, I I it just is it's 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.000 been such a hard two weeks emotionally for all of 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.800 us that have hearts and a conscience and us Aul 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.280 and I don't care if you agreed or disagreed with 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:02.439 Charlie Kirk. I mean, why would you say anything you 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.879 know so evil and horrific as some of the examples 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.119 we've been playing and showing you And I don't know 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.720 it just it kind of wears me out. It's like 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.600 I can't explain something that's not explained a bowl, If 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.800 that makes sense. It's it just is. But you know, 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.960 there's always going to be dark, evil people around us. 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:28.880 We need to understand that, embrace that, and protect ourselves 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.600 against it. It's it is what it is. But we 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.439 can't cower in the face of evil. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:35.320 We just can't. 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.080 You know, I think Donald Trump showed that to us 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.800 in Butler, Pennsylvania. You know who else would would get 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.960 shot and come within a millimeter of losing their life 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.919 and having their head blown off and stand up and 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:51.119 go fight, fight, fight. I can't think of many people 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:55.280 that would pull that off. Zach, appreciate you, man, God 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.800 bless you. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn our number. 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.240 Jerry in Florida, my free state. Up, Jerry, how are you, sir? 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:02.560 Hi there? 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:02.919 Sean? 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.000 Hey, I'm kind of wondering why all these leftists and 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.280 whatnot all pissed up about Jimmy Kimmel. Where were they 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:14.000 when Suzanne Bar got canceled for telling a joke or. 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:15.320 You mean Rose Ambar? 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.320 Yeah, oh Roseannbar excuse me, it was actually in her 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:20.399 case it was a tweet. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:22.520 Is that right, okay? 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:27.000 And she and she pointed out today after Barack Obama, 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.399 you know, said, you know, started complaining about, you know, 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.439 quote cancel culture, the current administration has taken cancel culture 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.800 to a new and dangerous level. Donald Trump's not responsible 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:40.399 for Jimmy Kimmel being fired. 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:42.440 He's not exactly. 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.199
