Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us. I
Speaker 1: know it's been the throat week. I've had a allergy
Speaker 1: attack and I think now I have a sinus infection
Speaker 1: at least quartering my doctor. Hopefully be better by Monday.
Speaker 1: Apologize for the voice, gladuate with us. Happy Friday. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine one. Sean is our number. You want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. You know, a really
Speaker 1: cool moment happened the other night, and I've been pointing
Speaker 1: out on this program. You know, adding politics to sports
Speaker 1: is just an awful It's a bad idea and we're
Speaker 1: missing one of the biggest opportunities as as a country,
Speaker 1: as a society that naturally brings people of all backgrounds,
Speaker 1: all races, all socioeconomic classes, etc. Etc. Upbringings together. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about this. You go to it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: your home team is, whatever it happens to be. But
Speaker 1: you know, people are passionate, whether it's college sports or
Speaker 1: professional sports. They love their team. They love their home team.
Speaker 1: You know, we get we have enough stress in our
Speaker 1: day to day life. We'd love to, you know, go
Speaker 1: to a football game, a basketball game, a baseball game.
Speaker 1: You just love it. And you know, with the few exceptions.
Speaker 1: You know, look, look at what MLB, the dopey commissioner
Speaker 1: who knows absolutely nothing about voting laws, you know, strips
Speaker 1: Georgia of the All Star Game and ships it out
Speaker 1: to Colorado, which by the way, has, like I think,
Speaker 1: a nine percent minority population. Based on lies told by
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams about the Georgia election law.
Speaker 1: In Georgia, this seventeen days of in person early voting
Speaker 1: in Joe's state that he's represented five thousand years. There's
Speaker 1: not one in Joe's stay. There's not one lockbox in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Every precinct as a lockbox. Both states require voter ID
Speaker 1: and you you must provide an excuse in Delaware, not
Speaker 1: Georgia if you want to vote absentee. The most restrictive
Speaker 1: in the country. That's Joe state. Never once as president,
Speaker 1: never once as Senator for fifty years, lifted a finger
Speaker 1: to make voting more accessible for the people of Delaware,
Speaker 1: and he's got the unmitigated gall and nerve to call
Speaker 1: George's voting law, which is far more inclusive, which makes
Speaker 1: voting far more accessible. Jim Crow two point zero and
Speaker 1: then Major League baseball. You know, without any knowledge of
Speaker 1: any of this. Clearly it was done out of pure ignorance,
Speaker 1: or it wouldn't have been done. Just strips Georgia of
Speaker 1: what would represent a hundred million dollars to the Georgia economy. Now,
Speaker 1: I say, Joe Biden, Stacy Abrams, they owe the people
Speaker 1: of Georgia a huge apology because their big lie hurt there,
Speaker 1: hurt an innocent state. And we're gonna get lectures from
Speaker 1: Joe on voting accessibility. No, thank you, it's about And
Speaker 1: then you got the same thing, you know with the NBA.
Speaker 1: Now the NBA is getting political, Okay, well it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not serving them well on the ratings. You know,
Speaker 1: they're not even getting nine million, eight million people to
Speaker 1: watch finals. For crying out loud, I think the last
Speaker 1: season they had five point six million viewers for the
Speaker 1: for the final NBA game, championship game. That is a
Speaker 1: ratings disaster for sports. You can't even justify any rights
Speaker 1: fees for those numbers to be frank, And then you've
Speaker 1: got you know, all started with Kaepernick in the NFL
Speaker 1: and taking a knee and and you know we're not
Speaker 1: coming out of the locker room until the anthem is
Speaker 1: already sung and so on. And what's what they're missing
Speaker 1: here is this is that you have people of all races,
Speaker 1: all backgrounds, all different sectors of society coming together with
Speaker 1: a shared passion for their team. How many have you
Speaker 1: been experienced what I've experienced. You go to a game,
Speaker 1: you know, your home team, every you know, most people
Speaker 1: cheering for the home team, and you're like, something great, somebody,
Speaker 1: it's a Grand Slam. You're like high fiving people you've
Speaker 1: never met before. You know, you're talking to people you
Speaker 1: never met before about you know, how what you like
Speaker 1: about the team, what you don't like about the team.
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's it's an opportunity to bring people together,
Speaker 1: and now by politicizing it, you're ruining that opportunity. And
Speaker 1: I have no doubt now if players, with the influence
Speaker 1: that they have and people look up to them, if
Speaker 1: there is a passion or a cause or a charity
Speaker 1: that they want their fans to be a part of,
Speaker 1: I guarantee without lecturing them, say you know, I'm donating
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred thousand dollars to this cost. I'm
Speaker 1: donating to this Can you can somebody can you match
Speaker 1: a dollar? I bet you people who do it in droves,
Speaker 1: better schools, save for neighborhoods, whatever it happens to be.
Speaker 1: And you know, hockey's not doing it, UFC's not doing it.
Speaker 1: I don't see boxing doing it. And it's just alienating people.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you there was going to be not
Speaker 1: because I don't support boycott's. I don't call for boycotts,
Speaker 1: but I found, like I'm now, so I was less
Speaker 1: interested in the last two years in the NFL that
Speaker 1: I've been in a long time. I went through a
Speaker 1: period where I wasn't interested, but then I got interested again.
Speaker 1: Now I will admit when Drew Brees was facing off
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and then Aaron Rodgers was facing off
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and Tom Brady was in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: I was very interested. Storyline couldn't keep me away, But
Speaker 1: it's you know, we're hurting. This is the greatest opportunity.
Speaker 1: The guy that got this right was Robert Craft, because
Speaker 1: Robert Craft told his players in New England New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: And I met Robert Craft a couple of times. I've
Speaker 1: had long conversations with him. He's a smart guy. This
Speaker 1: guy is really bright, and he said, he told his players,
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of people that have
Speaker 1: a lot of different opinions on a lot of issues.
Speaker 1: He goes, I'll tell you what I'll offer to all
Speaker 1: of you the play on my team. And he said,
Speaker 1: I'll match you dollar for dollar for the charity that
Speaker 1: you want to partake in and and not politicize things
Speaker 1: on the field. And his players agreed, and he'd go
Speaker 1: out into you know, various parts of New England and
Speaker 1: helped the players out in their charities. And he stood
Speaker 1: by his promise. But pretty cool anyway. So something special
Speaker 1: happened the other night. It was Game six. The Islanders
Speaker 1: were leading the playing the Boston Bruins. Whenever there's anything
Speaker 1: New York versus Boston, it's a it's just it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't get any better than that, because
Speaker 1: Boston fans hate New York. New York fans hate Boston fans.
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. Did they really hate each other, No,
Speaker 1: they just like their team more than the other team.
Speaker 1: And it's all right. It's what we call a rivalry,
Speaker 1: gridiron game. Whatever. So the Islanders now are up three
Speaker 1: to two in the series. They're back at the Nassau Coliseum,
Speaker 1: which was a great homecoming for the Islanders because they
Speaker 1: hadn't been playing there. They're building a new, a new
Speaker 1: facility at Belmont Park, of all places, and it's here.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be right. I actually was talking to Eddie
Speaker 1: Westwall as a former captain of the Island. Is such
Speaker 1: a nice guy. I met Bobby Nystros, such a nice guy.
Speaker 1: And these were the great Islanders of old when I
Speaker 1: used to cheer for the broad Street Bullies. Is a
Speaker 1: long story behind that one, but anyway, So there is
Speaker 1: this singing the woman that's singing the star spangle manner.
Speaker 1: Her name is Nicole viv I think is how you
Speaker 1: pronounce her last name. Beautiful voice, stunning, incredible voice. She
Speaker 1: starts singing the spangle manner and then the crowd takes over,
Speaker 1: and she let the crowd take over. I've watched Garth
Speaker 1: Brooks perform, and I've watched them in interviews, and he says,
Speaker 1: there's nothing cooler when your fans are singing your songs
Speaker 1: back to you. And he would let people you know
Speaker 1: if he's singing the dance or you know, if tomorrow
Speaker 1: never comes or some songs, you know, friends and low play.
Speaker 1: He says, thunder rolls than the Then when the crowd
Speaker 1: or the stadium sings it back to there's nothing nothing
Speaker 1: better anyway. Just just listen to this moment and tell
Speaker 1: me if you don't get goosebumps like I got, and hell,
Speaker 1: please join the gol revive as we sing it together
Speaker 1: our nationalize who see no jo? What's so? We see?
Speaker 1: How cool was that? The people took it and they
Speaker 1: ran with it. People all backgrounds they have, they have
Speaker 1: a shared passion their team, Ilander's by the way one
Speaker 1: they probably that was it for Boston. They're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: this this crowd is way into this game. We're not
Speaker 1: We're not gonna win this. And they ended up winning
Speaker 1: with two empty net goal six two UM and uh
Speaker 1: now playing Tampa Bay in the next series. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I know that there's all the wokeness and
Speaker 1: there's critical race theory that divides us. Now more and
Speaker 1: more states are saying no, we're not doing this, and
Speaker 1: but people are genuinely good. I go back to I've
Speaker 1: used this phrase, I've overused it. You've heard me say
Speaker 1: it before. I apologize for saying it again, but it's
Speaker 1: worth for feeding in my view. You know, my friend
Speaker 1: Barry Farber, he was on talk radio till his ninetieth
Speaker 1: birthday ninety years one of the great pioneers of talk radio,
Speaker 1: used to always say, there's never been a country in
Speaker 1: the history of mankind that has accumulated more power and
Speaker 1: abused it less. And I add to it, and I
Speaker 1: have no right to to it, but I do. I
Speaker 1: learned from the best. There's never been a country in
Speaker 1: the history of mankind that has accumulated more power, abused
Speaker 1: it less, and used its power to advance the human condition.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean this is a perfect country, that it's
Speaker 1: been a perfect country. The beauty of our framers and
Speaker 1: our founders is this, they created a system where we
Speaker 1: can right wrongs and correct injustices. It was built that
Speaker 1: way on purpose, not by accident. Natural law endowed by
Speaker 1: our creator, government not government rights. Rights come from God
Speaker 1: and predicated on a belief they're all created by God,
Speaker 1: and that there's never been a country greater than this one.
Speaker 1: Socialism has been tried and under every name and manifestation
Speaker 1: you can think of it always it always over promises
Speaker 1: and delivers nothing sets people up for failure, This idea
Speaker 1: that everything's free. There's no track record it's gonna ever
Speaker 1: work because it always fails. Schools, law and order, social Security, Medicare,
Speaker 1: Obamacare all failed. Now we're gonna believe they're gonna give
Speaker 1: us healthy food and free childcare and free child education
Speaker 1: and free college. And it's not gonna work. We're free,
Speaker 1: and it's like the land of the Free and the
Speaker 1: home of the brave, not the home of the woke
Speaker 1: and afraid. All right, as we roll along eight hundred nine, Sean,
Speaker 1: you know two items came out this week after I
Speaker 1: had been pressured and pressured and pressured and pressure and
Speaker 1: pressure and pressure and pressured. Hannity, you've got to tell
Speaker 1: your listeners that they must get vaccinated. Can you imagine me? Now,
Speaker 1: we learned from the Cleveland Clinic this week. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you had COVID nineteen, if you contracted a virus, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no need to get a vaccine. This is not
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the Cleveland Clinic. They have a pretty
Speaker 1: good reputation. We didn't know that till this week, but
Speaker 1: people like Rand Paul were saying, yeah, there's natural immunity,
Speaker 1: even if you're antibodies going down, you still have T
Speaker 1: cell antibodies and you still have protection. Now, I see
Speaker 1: an article come out today CDC to hoold emergency meeting
Speaker 1: after hundreds of suffering heart inflammation following COVID vaccines. By
Speaker 1: the way, Donald Trump said, Fauci says he's science, but
Speaker 1: he's merely science fiction. He got so much wrong. Actually,
Speaker 1: Greg Jared is even suggesting he should be it will
Speaker 1: never happen criminally investigated because he didn't know that this
Speaker 1: Wuhan Lab of Virology lab did in fact study coronaviruses
Speaker 1: and gain They did gain a function research there, and
Speaker 1: he gave the money and he was desperate to hide
Speaker 1: it that fact. In emails, you can see that there
Speaker 1: was a panic that set in. And I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: with all this pressure saying, hey, you've got to tell people. Well,
Speaker 1: Cleveland Clinic is saying, if you had it, you don't
Speaker 1: need the vaccine. I'm following the science. The CDC is
Speaker 1: now saying that there are hundreds and hundreds of people
Speaker 1: that are suffering heart inflammation following COVID vaccines. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I followed my own instincts here, which was I told people,
Speaker 1: take it seriously, to a lot of research, look at
Speaker 1: your health conditions, talk to your doctor, your doctor's medical professionals,
Speaker 1: your trust, and then make your decision. I'm not playing
Speaker 1: doctor on radio or TV. I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: anybody's medical connection. I don't even know about my own
Speaker 1: medical condition. We'll continue twenty five to the top of
Speaker 1: the hour. This is not good news, but I just
Speaker 1: somebody's got to tell you the truth. They're not going
Speaker 1: to hear it in the medium mob. You remember Joe's
Speaker 1: out there saying, Oh, if you don't make over four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, you're not gonna be paying
Speaker 1: anymore in taxes. Well, he kept saying it, but it's
Speaker 1: really two hundred thousand dollars a year because he's talking
Speaker 1: about couples. And then he doesn't factor in the dramatic
Speaker 1: increase in corporate tax rates and the capital gains taxes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of middle class Americans they get capital gains.
Speaker 1: Nor the fact that they want to do all of
Speaker 1: this now through the reconciliation process because they can't get
Speaker 1: it done legislatively the normal way, because they don't want
Speaker 1: to work with any Republican and and basically force it
Speaker 1: through Now. We were told after April's four point two
Speaker 1: percent increase year over year in prices that that's just
Speaker 1: an anomaly. All it turns out it's not anomaly. Inflation
Speaker 1: again this month of May. Numbers coming out this week
Speaker 1: late this week, consumer prices now the fastest pace almost
Speaker 1: thirteen years, as the economy is now in Joe's full control.
Speaker 1: Labor Department Consumer Price Index, they measure a basket of
Speaker 1: goods and services as well as energy and food costs
Speaker 1: of five percent in May from a year earlier, higher
Speaker 1: than the four point two percent increase in prices in April.
Speaker 1: And yeah, this is an explosion now, the worst, you know.
Speaker 1: And I got it wrong this week, and for that
Speaker 1: I apologize. I said, on average, it's sixty five cents
Speaker 1: more per gallon of gasoline. No, it's wrong. We are
Speaker 1: now paying an average of one dollar and nine cents
Speaker 1: more per gallon since Joe Biden has become President of
Speaker 1: the United States. A dollar nine a gallon last year
Speaker 1: was a dollar eighty eight. This year it's two dollars
Speaker 1: and ninety seven cents. States like California you're even approaching
Speaker 1: five Bucks New York, it's close to four bucks for
Speaker 1: certain gas. I mean it's really really high. Meat prices
Speaker 1: are through the roof lumber price. I'll give you any
Speaker 1: example for meat. I like to make a blt. I
Speaker 1: like baging letters and tomato sandwich on an English Muffin's
Speaker 1: great the way I make it, it's awesome anyway, okay,
Speaker 1: And i'd seem like a lot. You got a pound.
Speaker 1: I like Oscar Meyer thick cut pack, and that's the
Speaker 1: one I get. Anyway. And I go shopping once a week,
Speaker 1: and once a week somebody will ask me, what are
Speaker 1: you doing here? I'm shopping, Why I'm hungry? I'd like
Speaker 1: to eat. I don't know why people ask me that question.
Speaker 1: And I stopped and I talked to this one. I've
Speaker 1: seen this one kid the whole time during coronavirus run
Speaker 1: into it. We put them on the radio one day
Speaker 1: and not one person. And this is when I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll I support the mask because at my local grocery store,
Speaker 1: my local pharmacy, you know, they were using plexiglass and
Speaker 1: masks and shields. Nobody got COVID nobody. Okay, if it's
Speaker 1: going to protect old the people, Grandma, Grandpa, mom and dad.
Speaker 1: It never bothered me, and I kind of liked, like
Speaker 1: Chris Rock said, you know, I got my anonymity back
Speaker 1: with a mask. But that's just a separate issue. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to go through the hell we have all been through.
Speaker 1: But all right, So if you bought a pound of
Speaker 1: bacon last year, you paid five dollars and thirty five cents.
Speaker 1: This year, you paid dollar more twenty percent increase, okay,
Speaker 1: gallon of milk ten percent increase. Gasoline prices up a
Speaker 1: dollar nine a gallon. The price of a used car
Speaker 1: up twenty nine point seven percent. Have you seen the
Speaker 1: price a lumber something you would have paid two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars for last year, you're paying eleven thousand dollars for now.
Speaker 1: I mean it's real money. Now. You a lot of states,
Speaker 1: and now finally they've had it because you got nine
Speaker 1: point three million available jobs, and you have many Americans
Speaker 1: looking at the extra unemployment money and saying, I get
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make as much stay at home. And now
Speaker 1: people are feeling it and they're seeing it and they're
Speaker 1: understanding it. Because the University of Michigan did a survey
Speaker 1: of consumers sentiment, and what they found is in their
Speaker 1: new survey, more American people more worried about rising inflation
Speaker 1: because of Biden's policies than at any other time since
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two. In other words, more concerned with higher
Speaker 1: prices for impliances for houses, cars, and any time in
Speaker 1: thirty nine years. Nineteen eighty two the inflation rate was
Speaker 1: just over six percent, close to where we are now.
Speaker 1: Year before it was top ten percent. It's not good.
Speaker 1: After inflation, earnings have declined for American workers every month
Speaker 1: since Biden has been president. New York Post has a
Speaker 1: bombshell banner headline today, Biden nomics bombs Real. Average hourly
Speaker 1: earnings for American workers fell zero point one percent in
Speaker 1: May compared to April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Speaker 1: the fifth consecutive month in which inflation adjusted hourly earnings
Speaker 1: fell and the fourth in which weekly earnings fell. Now
Speaker 1: the opposite happened with Donald Trump, with the biggest increase
Speaker 1: per dollar per family and recently recorded history. And then,
Speaker 1: of course record low unemployment and record low unemployment for
Speaker 1: every demographic group anyway. In other words, after inflation earnings,
Speaker 1: the American people, you and every month which Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: been president. Your wages are falling, your money is worth less.
Speaker 1: It's the longest consecutive string of monthly real earnings decline
Speaker 1: that goes back to two thousand and seven. We're adopting
Speaker 1: the same dumb policies we've adopted now. I think that
Speaker 1: everyone would agree Deutsche Bank not exactly lightweights. That's why,
Speaker 1: you know, when the Bank of China did a one
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars equity deal with Hunter Biden's firm, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're telling me that Deutsche Bank wouldn't do it better
Speaker 1: than the crackhead and his business partners. You gotta be kidding.
Speaker 1: That wasn't paid a play, that wasn't buying influence or
Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan Chase. You know, any of
Speaker 1: these companies aren't better than to get a deal with
Speaker 1: the Bank of China than Hunter Biden. Anyway. They now
Speaker 1: have issued their report on a new series Inflation, the
Speaker 1: Defining Macro Story of the Decade, and they conclude us
Speaker 1: macro policy, macroeconomics they're talking about. Indeed, the very role
Speaker 1: of government in the economy is now undergoing its biggest
Speaker 1: shift in direction in forty years. In turn, we are
Speaker 1: concerned that it will bring about uncomfortable levels of inflation,
Speaker 1: which were now seeing the beginning of. That could be
Speaker 1: deemed an understatement considering the US economies already experiencing uncomfortable inflation,
Speaker 1: and we've gone through the numbers just a moment ago.
Speaker 1: They say, the current fiscal stimulus is more comparable with
Speaker 1: what was seen around World War Two. US deficits between
Speaker 1: fifteen and thirty percent for four years, significant differences between
Speaker 1: the pandemic of World War Two. There would note inflation
Speaker 1: eight point four percent. Blah blah, blah blah. If the
Speaker 1: US economy descends into an inflation spiral like they see
Speaker 1: as possible, we could be on the brink of There
Speaker 1: were excruciating economic pain, the out of control spending by Congress.
Speaker 1: That's only part of the problem. Monetary stimulus has been
Speaker 1: equally breathtaking. They say. In numerical terms, the Fed's balance
Speaker 1: sheet is almost double during the pandemic to nearly eight trillion.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're basically saying this is a recipe for
Speaker 1: unmitigated long term economic disaster. Wall Street Journal from beans
Speaker 1: Burger's food is more expensive, chipotlely shake Shack, Pigley wiggly
Speaker 1: all raising prices to cover higher costs. Who's been telling
Speaker 1: you this? Me because trucking costs more. Truck drivers aren't
Speaker 1: going to make less proloade. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: that dollar's going that it's not going as far as
Speaker 1: it used to. They want more money and then to
Speaker 1: put the diesel in the trucks dollar more gallon plus
Speaker 1: that means the cost is pushed onto you. Corporate taxes
Speaker 1: will be pushed onto you, the American people. Everything you
Speaker 1: buy now is costing more because of this, all to
Speaker 1: pay for Joe's socialism, New Green Deal radicalism. But he
Speaker 1: told you you're not gonna pay unless you make four
Speaker 1: in a thousand. You're not gonna pay a penny bologne.
Speaker 1: This is I keep hearing on the press. Biden, you're
Speaker 1: gonna raise your taxes. If anybody making lessons four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, you will not pay a single penny in taxes.
Speaker 1: Increase the deficit. Either increased the deficit by two trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anymore. Everything's costing more. If
Speaker 1: you paid a dollar nine more for gallon of gas
Speaker 1: and pay more to heat and cool your home. You're
Speaker 1: paying bread higher seventeen percent, bananas, fruit, oranges, milk, coffee, gas, electricity,
Speaker 1: you name it, going through the roof. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you it's surging and people and now the value of
Speaker 1: what people are making is less than ever before. Now
Speaker 1: that's now politically, there's going to be a backlash. I
Speaker 1: can feel a building. Now it's gonna be tea party
Speaker 1: two point zero Trump two point one, steroids and human
Speaker 1: growth hormone. Because American people they want to prosper. These
Speaker 1: policies are stranglehold inflation nation. We put up on Hannity,
Speaker 1: dot com prices rise at the fastest pace in twenty
Speaker 1: eight years, numbers not seen since nineteen ninety three. Then
Speaker 1: you add the corporate tax and the capital gains tax, well,
Speaker 1: everything is going to cost more, including utilities. Those taxes
Speaker 1: will go up too. Biden's chief of staff maybe President
Speaker 1: in hiding ron Klain. So he's blaming airline tickets and
Speaker 1: use cars. Okay, another one out of touch. Imagine if
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said that the pipelines are the safest and
Speaker 1: best method of transporting oil. Even John Kerry and Buddha
Speaker 1: Judge said it. But we're stopping high paying career jobs,
Speaker 1: and we've given up national security concerns in the name
Speaker 1: of green energy. It's ridiculous, it's unreal. First Lady says
Speaker 1: Biden's over prepared for her European trip. Oh, okay, over prepared.
Speaker 1: Sure Joe was able to sit through his lessons and
Speaker 1: did a good job. Give Mississippi cup warm milky night
Speaker 1: night stories. All set, get ready for Putin to eat
Speaker 1: his lunch. It's unbelievable. Biden's rising prices, it's all pain, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: and the world loves it. By the world doesn't want
Speaker 1: a strong America. You think the hostile nations of Russia, China, Iran,
Speaker 1: North Korea. You think even our European allies want to know.
Speaker 1: They want to weaken America. They want to dumb America.
Speaker 1: They want America to paper global warming insanity and not them.
Speaker 1: A Paris accords that that look at China and India's
Speaker 1: developing nations, and we pay the brunt of the Moneys.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. It's as part of this is madness. So
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of pressure by the squad and
Speaker 1: Company to stop any type of negotiation. Now there was
Speaker 1: a bipartisan group of senators, about ten of them, Mark Warner,
Speaker 1: Joe Manshimant Romney, Jean Shaheen, Susan Collins, Kristen Cinema. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they wanted to come up with an infrastructure packets. They
Speaker 1: came up with one one point two trillion eight years,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and seventy four billion over five years, five
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy and nine billion new spending. Okay, the
Speaker 1: Senate Finance Chair Widen. Yeah, he said it's a non
Speaker 1: starter due to lack of tax hikes and there's not
Speaker 1: enough climate provisions in there. They want more for this
Speaker 1: climate madness. The number one threat to America, as they said,
Speaker 1: not China, not radical as Lamas, not Russia, not a
Speaker 1: rand they want. They're demanding climate provisions. All the New
Speaker 1: Green Deal climate provisions are everything is free, and that
Speaker 1: will take from this group of people, will put all
Speaker 1: the money in a pot, will give you free childcare,
Speaker 1: free early child education, free college, free school. There's schools
Speaker 1: that they run now already suck enough. Why wouldn't we
Speaker 1: send kids in for more? Woke cancel culture indoctrination, just
Speaker 1: like these cities that have been run by radical democrats,
Speaker 1: for decades. There's no law in order, there's no safety
Speaker 1: and security, which you need to pursue happiness. You don't
Speaker 1: get educational opportunities in most of these big city schools
Speaker 1: because of the teachers union's donations to the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: They get to even write COVID policy because they donate
Speaker 1: so much money. So, you know, social Security doesn't have
Speaker 1: a lockbox, Medicare is going bankrupt. What have they done? Well?
Speaker 1: Obamacare turned out to be a disaster. Everything they promised
Speaker 1: never fulfilled. But that's the story of socialism as that
Speaker 1: is that they're going to promise you everything's free, free, free,
Speaker 1: and these will be promises that can never ever, mathem
Speaker 1: amatically ever be fulfilled. Even if they confiscated every penny
Speaker 1: of every person. They're not capable of running anything. So
Speaker 1: why as it conservative? We believe in limited government. So
Speaker 1: now we're going to trust them more. Yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 1: want to empower you. You go steal their money and
Speaker 1: give it to us. By the way, finally, you know,
Speaker 1: there was a little pushback, but against Congresswoman Omar. Now
Speaker 1: the squad's fighting back home their own Democrats. Enough with
Speaker 1: the anti blackness and islamophobia, as they tried to defend
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Omar for the comments that she made, and then
Speaker 1: now the leaders of the squad are saying no freedom
Speaker 1: of speech for Muslim women in Congress. Like what, it's unbelievable. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: but that's your mind, by the way, everyone talks about Well,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump with this with the party Pelosi and Democratic leaders,
Speaker 1: is your joint statement condemning Omar's statements. Now they're getting
Speaker 1: blasted by the squad. Let me tell you what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: They're gonna shut up, and Nancy Pelosi's afraid she's gonna
Speaker 1: lose her job. Joe has no courage or even awareness
Speaker 1: to know what they're doing. And Schumer is afraid AOC
Speaker 1: will primary them. Who we are an hour two Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine for one Sean. You
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. So our
Speaker 1: old friend Humpty Dumpty went on, I guess what CSPAN today?
Speaker 1: A lot of people, it's kind of funny. They have
Speaker 1: the conservative line, they have the liberal line, the Republican line,
Speaker 1: the Democratic line, the independent line. They got a million
Speaker 1: phone lines over there. I've met many of the people
Speaker 1: that work at c SPAN over the years, and actually
Speaker 1: a couple of are fairly nice, but poor Humpty dumpty.
Speaker 1: He got an earful Let's listen to this to ask
Speaker 1: Brian too on national television admit he and his network
Speaker 1: are a bunch of liars about Donald Trump. This is
Speaker 1: Kevin in Princeton, Indiana. Good morning. Yeah, mister Stelzer is
Speaker 1: the biggest minister of misinformation I have ever heard, and
Speaker 1: I'm a news junkie. He made the statement just a
Speaker 1: few minutes ago that he is all the stories are
Speaker 1: always evolving. Yeah, his stories absolutely evolved. Brian Stelter, thank
Speaker 1: you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Savannah Georgia Rick,
Speaker 1: good morning, you're next. Yes, I was just wondering if
Speaker 1: you still feel like Michael have a naughtie who's the
Speaker 1: greatest thing in the world and should run for president
Speaker 1: of the United States. It's my suggest My suggestion is
Speaker 1: whatever CNN says through the opposite and you'll be fine. Aurora, Indiana.
Speaker 1: This is Robert Good morning. Gone with Brian Stelter, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's just something that's a joke. Less learn news
Speaker 1: And how did I tell lies? I'll tell you we
Speaker 1: can start with the lie calling the wuhan lab uh
Speaker 1: of virology, uh, saying that oh, this, this is a
Speaker 1: right wing conservative uh conspiracy theory. Three years of lying
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump and Russia. Trump and Russia. They also
Speaker 1: lie by omission, lie by omission by not covering, oh,
Speaker 1: Hillary's thirty Russian dossier, you know, premeditated fraud, fires accord,
Speaker 1: spying on a candidate for president, uh, then spying on
Speaker 1: a president. Oh but they spight on us. Yeah, okay, whatever,
Speaker 1: how do you hide Hunter's laptop from hell? How do
Speaker 1: you hide you know what the the candidate Protection program.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even cover what's on that laptop? ABC, NBC, CBS,
Speaker 1: fake News, CNN, MSD, n C, New York Times, Washington Post,
Speaker 1: not a peep about the N word. There was no
Speaker 1: coverage of the partnership with Robert the Klansman Bird and
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to stop integration to schools because Joe didn't
Speaker 1: want schools to become racial jungles or any of the
Speaker 1: other outrageously racist things Joe said over the years. Anyway,
Speaker 1: here to sort out the differences, we have Mark Simone,
Speaker 1: the host of our highly rated morning show on our
Speaker 1: flagship in New York. Wore also Carol Roth, entrepreneur host
Speaker 1: of her own podcast, The Wroth Effect, Thank you both
Speaker 1: with me and one of us. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: a layup I'm handing to you. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: Mark Simone, it's sad because you know, I know everybody
Speaker 1: listening to the A Show knows that if anybody with
Speaker 1: the last name Trump ever dared to say the N word,
Speaker 1: it would be an explosion that would be felt forever,
Speaker 1: never stop, never ending coverage. Well, you can make jokes,
Speaker 1: you can do all kinds of things, but this is
Speaker 1: the most dangerous situation I've ever seen in America. The
Speaker 1: entire mainstream media shut down, no news coverage. And can
Speaker 1: you imagine if they did this for Vietnam, the war
Speaker 1: would still be going on. Imagine if Woodward and Bernstein
Speaker 1: and everybody looked the other way on Watergate. This is
Speaker 1: it is so potentially dangerous that it just enables these
Speaker 1: crooks in office to just do more and more and more.
Speaker 1: Why they haven't looked at Joe Biden's dinner meeting with
Speaker 1: those crazy Ukrainians and what that was all about, or
Speaker 1: Biden's brothers and their contracts. You know, if Bernie Madoff
Speaker 1: knew that nobody would investigate, nobody would cover it, he
Speaker 1: would have just kept going to a loud Biden and
Speaker 1: the corrupt Democrats do. This is the most dangerous thing
Speaker 1: we've seen in years. I don't disagree at all. And
Speaker 1: it's beyond an information crisis. Carol, what's your take? You know,
Speaker 1: so obviously I look at things from a business and
Speaker 1: economic standpoint, and I'm reading these texts and I'm going, Wow,
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is so eloquent. I can now understand how
Speaker 1: he's getting these board of directors positions and these corporate
Speaker 1: executive positions because he's clearly a master communicator. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's basically these texts laid out the fact that this
Speaker 1: is somebody who nobody would put anywhere near a board
Speaker 1: of director unless he had that extra influence to pedal.
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate. This is why people are so angry
Speaker 1: in this country is because there is just a blatant
Speaker 1: double standard. And on top of that, then you're gaslet
Speaker 1: about it that just said, no, there is no double standard.
Speaker 1: We're being free and fairer, and then we're covering everything
Speaker 1: the same. Absolutely not, absolutely not, and We've seen it
Speaker 1: over and over again. If you put those text messages
Speaker 1: in front of somebody and didn't attach a name or like,
Speaker 1: as you said, put a Trump name on it, or
Speaker 1: any one of our names on it, people would be outraged.
Speaker 1: They'd be calling for blood. And the fact that there's
Speaker 1: not even a peep out of it should, as Mark said,
Speaker 1: scare everybody. Do you think of Mark? The three years
Speaker 1: of never ending lies about Trump Russia collusion while simultaneously
Speaker 1: ignoring Hillary paying for the dirty Russian disinformation dosier then
Speaker 1: unverifiable used as premeditated fraud and a FISA courts buying
Speaker 1: on Trump the president, Trump the candidate, etc. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just three years of lies ignoring Joe's quid pro
Speaker 1: quo in Ukraine, Oh Trump ordered protesters to be tear
Speaker 1: gas for a photo op. Now we know it's true,
Speaker 1: and they won't even admit that. If you mentioned the
Speaker 1: year ago the lab leak theory, we knew coronavirus as
Speaker 1: were studied at the Wuhan lab. We knew that they
Speaker 1: did gain a function research at that lab. But if
Speaker 1: you said it, boy, you're a conspiracy theorist and it
Speaker 1: was debunked or Trump ignoring Russian bounties on US soldiers
Speaker 1: that debacle, or Trump telling Georgia officials to find the fraud,
Speaker 1: or that Donald Trump went to Charlottesville and said, well,
Speaker 1: there's that the white supremacists were were fine people, when
Speaker 1: in fact, when you actually look at the wording, it
Speaker 1: was very different. But you know, Biden launched a bunch
Speaker 1: of ads on this, and we actually have played over
Speaker 1: and over again what Trump really did say, and it
Speaker 1: is h you know, yeah, some you had some very
Speaker 1: bad people in this group, he said, excuse me, didn't
Speaker 1: put yourself down as a neo naz You had some
Speaker 1: very bad people in this group, but you also had
Speaker 1: some very fine people on both sides, and you had
Speaker 1: people in that group. I saw the pictures you did.
Speaker 1: You had people in that group with their to protest
Speaker 1: the taking down of a very important statue and the
Speaker 1: renaming of a arc to another name. And he said,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the neo Nazis and white nationalists
Speaker 1: because they should be condemned. He said it twice that
Speaker 1: they were there in the exact line that they purposely
Speaker 1: take out of context. Mark, how do you defend against that?
Speaker 1: You can't. This is total corruption of the news media.
Speaker 1: And you can't say this is normal or if it's
Speaker 1: ever happened before. If you remember Bill Clinton was president,
Speaker 1: his brother Roger was caught on tape using the N words.
Speaker 1: It was covered everywhere. It was even on sixteen minutes
Speaker 1: they confronted him with the tape. This is unlike anything
Speaker 1: we've ever seen before. Total corruption in the mainstream news media.
Speaker 1: Then you got these Silicon Valley tech geeks who think
Speaker 1: they're suddenly journalists and news editors. They'll decide what news
Speaker 1: can be on their sites on Twitter and Facebook. And
Speaker 1: they've been wrong every time. They were wrong about the
Speaker 1: Wuhan lab, they were wrong about the Hunter of Laptop.
Speaker 1: Everything they've censored, they've been dead wrong about. Somebody's got
Speaker 1: to stop this, and I don't know who's going to
Speaker 1: do that. I don't think it's gonna stop, Carol. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the thing here. Now, I've always said throughout my
Speaker 1: entire career spanning now thirty three years, I've always said
Speaker 1: that we've got to become the media. Well, now we've
Speaker 1: got to become the media and big tech. And by
Speaker 1: the way, when I say become the media, they have
Speaker 1: three broadcast networks, two cable outlets that a hardcore radical
Speaker 1: new green deal socialist left, and every major newspaper but
Speaker 1: for say the New York Post Wall Street Journal give
Speaker 1: two exceptions in that case. There's a few of us
Speaker 1: on Fox, but a lot of varying views on Fox.
Speaker 1: And then this talk radio, which conservatives tend to dominate.
Speaker 1: That's about it. But now we've got to get into
Speaker 1: big tech and get our own Twitter, get our own Facebook,
Speaker 1: get our own Instagram, get our own YouTube. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean the worst part about is the pipeline starts in education.
Speaker 1: It starts in early education with all this nonsense that's
Speaker 1: going on, and then in terms of j school, you're
Speaker 1: they're teaching them to be activists, not to be journalists.
Speaker 1: So it becomes a really challenge thing to be able
Speaker 1: to fight against. And as you mentioned with big tech,
Speaker 1: the fact that they somehow think that they are the
Speaker 1: arbiters of truth. As we have a situation that's unfolding
Speaker 1: real time, how would they possibly know what the situation is?
Speaker 1: And it had real implications for people's health, for the economy,
Speaker 1: and so I think that the number one thing we
Speaker 1: can do to fight back, as you now we have
Speaker 1: to go and do our own due diligence. But as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, if we keep getting thrown off the platforms,
Speaker 1: it's hard to even put that due diligence out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't see that there's any hope.
Speaker 1: By the way, I know you have some kind words
Speaker 1: to welcome back Jeffrey Tubin, the guy caught on a
Speaker 1: CNN zoom call masturbating. I mean, any comments on that, Mark, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you went to me on it. Hey, you
Speaker 1: talk about Brian Stelter. The only honest guy who said
Speaker 1: anything honest on CNN this week was Jeffrey Tubin. He
Speaker 1: admitted he didn't true. Well, it's not okay, you're saying
Speaker 1: he admitted. How do you not admit it it's on
Speaker 1: a zoom call. Hasn't stopped anyone from not admitting things? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: just say, Carol, I missed that. I said. It hasn't
Speaker 1: stopped anyone before from not admitting things. We've seen things
Speaker 1: in plain sight many times. I did not have sex
Speaker 1: with that woman, not a single time. I'm going to
Speaker 1: get back to work for the American people. Indeed, I
Speaker 1: did have an inappropriate relationship. I remember very well. Sorry, Marc,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Oh no, I'm just that's just too many
Speaker 1: does the left hand doesn't know what the right hand
Speaker 1: is doing. But I guess guys do that. But you
Speaker 1: can't get through a zoom meeting at one o'clock in
Speaker 1: the afternoon. It looks like he just does this whole
Speaker 1: thing without even thinking. It just happens. Look, I'm not
Speaker 1: one of the am I wrong, Mark. I've never called
Speaker 1: or demanded somebody be fired. I just it's not in
Speaker 1: me to do it. I don't believe in boycott's. I've
Speaker 1: been you know, all throughout my career, people put pressure
Speaker 1: on me to to boycott. Now I can tell you
Speaker 1: like I watched the Islander game the other night when
Speaker 1: the crowd took over the singing of our national anthem.
Speaker 1: I love that moment. You know, it seems like hockey,
Speaker 1: the octagon, UFC, boxing. There's not many sports now that
Speaker 1: aren't allowing politics to creep into it. It's happening with
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball, look at the All Star Game,
Speaker 1: the NBA, look at Lebron James Kaepernick, NFL's and I
Speaker 1: think people are missing the greatest opportunity of uniting a
Speaker 1: group of people from all different backgrounds, all different races,
Speaker 1: all different associate economic upbringings, and they all share a
Speaker 1: passion that is that team. Now, how many times have
Speaker 1: you been to the Garden Mark or City Field or
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium and you're high fiving a stranger and it's
Speaker 1: like it's the one thing that would unite us. Now
Speaker 1: they're dividing us in sports by bringing politics into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think the Democrats always go too far. I
Speaker 1: think this time to setting the world record are going
Speaker 1: too far. The backlash is beginning with that mother telling
Speaker 1: off the school board, you know, the Steve funding the
Speaker 1: police is starting to really frighten people. We had a
Speaker 1: mayoral debate in New York last night with a question
Speaker 1: this is Democrats about should the police have their guns
Speaker 1: taken away from people are going to start to rebel
Speaker 1: against this. But the tide is turning. It's it's just
Speaker 1: going way too far, unbelievable. I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: see if I don't I don't know if it's going
Speaker 1: to turn back, Carol. Maybe I don't know it's possible.
Speaker 1: I do think politically the tide is changing. I think
Speaker 1: I think the country's hip to the fact that Joe
Speaker 1: does is clueless. Probably it doesn't know what day it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty funny when Donald Trump came
Speaker 1: out and said, yeah, Joe, good luck with Ladimir in
Speaker 1: your meeting. Don't fall asleep. Everybody knows, but nobody else
Speaker 1: talks about it. I mean, Mark talks about it. I
Speaker 1: talk about it a few of us and talk radio.
Speaker 1: I'm mostly like a lone voice on Fox on this issue,
Speaker 1: but I see a guy that is so cognitively messed.
Speaker 1: Putin's going to eat as lunch. Hey. Even the queen
Speaker 1: ninety nine years old during their meetings she said, I'm Joe, Okay,
Speaker 1: Joe there, Yeah. I mean this is really about the
Speaker 1: independent people coming together independently. You're not as a cohort,
Speaker 1: not as red or blue. I think that what's going
Speaker 1: to happen is actually green as money is what's going
Speaker 1: to change this. I don't know if you've been following
Speaker 1: what's been going on, a sort of digital occupy Wall
Speaker 1: Street two point zero with the redditors and the and
Speaker 1: the amc army that are trying to get back at
Speaker 1: what they think are injustices in Wall Street, and people
Speaker 1: are realizing that whether it's the you know, crazy progressive
Speaker 1: ideas or just this this move towards central planning that
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't good. People don't want politics in
Speaker 1: every aspect of their lives. They don't want it in sports,
Speaker 1: they don't want to be lectured constantly. And that could
Speaker 1: be the one good thing to come out of this
Speaker 1: in Sady that we've seen over the last fifteen months
Speaker 1: is that people finally say enough enough. But people are tentative,
Speaker 1: They feel individually weak, that they don't know what they
Speaker 1: can do. But if they realize we all band together,
Speaker 1: there is more of us than there are of the
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's and the crazy program, we got a home
Speaker 1: opportunity to change. All right, Carol, thank you, Mark Simone.
Speaker 1: We always love having you back on. Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: Quick break right back your calls on the other side,
Speaker 1: straight ahead, hight twenty five to the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a lot of calls in here
Speaker 1: on this Friday, eight hundred nine for one. Sean, you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Cindy is
Speaker 1: in Illinois. Cindy, Hi, how are you glad you called? Hi? Sean?
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the fact that Biden
Speaker 1: takes the credit for creating all these jobs and unemployment
Speaker 1: going up. And I'd like to know what job he's
Speaker 1: created is one? We now have more than half the
Speaker 1: states saying we don't want your unemployment, your disincentivizing people
Speaker 1: from getting back to work, and all of the reckless spending.
Speaker 1: You know, remember all of this money. It wasn't emergency
Speaker 1: COVID relief. It was a blue state ballout, and it
Speaker 1: was a down payment for the New Green Deal, radical socialism,
Speaker 1: and it's and it's six trillion dollars. Well, we can't
Speaker 1: afford six trillion everything at the border. The implation is
Speaker 1: his the low You know, the fact that all these
Speaker 1: jobs are open that remain unfulfilled, unfilled is unbelievable. And
Speaker 1: all he wants is redistribution. Joe's not in charge. It's
Speaker 1: it's Bernie Sanders and the squad running the show. Right.
Speaker 1: He's like a puppet. And you know what else I
Speaker 1: want to tell you is there's something called the Pledge
Speaker 1: of Agreement to American Workers at Trump and Ivanka put
Speaker 1: into place in twenty eighteen, actually July of twenty and eighteen,
Speaker 1: which offers high tech companies to over four hundred in
Speaker 1: the country that are signed on to this. Have you
Speaker 1: heard of it? I have not see. This is what
Speaker 1: irritates me. Trish Reagan had it on in two thou
Speaker 1: eighteen and Ivanka did the interview, and I never heard
Speaker 1: a word from the media. And this is a late,
Speaker 1: life changing opportunity they actually have right now if you
Speaker 1: want to go work for one of these four hundred
Speaker 1: companies signed up. Oh you know what, I do remember this.
Speaker 1: I think it was around twenty seventeen or eighteen. You're right,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah, I do remember it. There
Speaker 1: are there are actually right now sixteen million, four hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty eight eight hundred and five training positions available. Okay,
Speaker 1: no high school diploma needed, six months free training. And
Speaker 1: this is life changing for people. Toyota alone is looking
Speaker 1: for two hundred thousand workers four fifty five thousand GM
Speaker 1: and they need these positions built. That's why they're willing
Speaker 1: to sign on and train people. So this is a
Speaker 1: very well kept secret. And I saw a friend of
Speaker 1: mine and Georgia recently. He was up in New York.
Speaker 1: His family runs a business in the cement business down
Speaker 1: in Florida, and he said, can you help us? I said,
Speaker 1: what would you like me to do? And he goes, Uh,
Speaker 1: my dad wants to make a direct appeal to police
Speaker 1: officers that are being treated horribly in other states and
Speaker 1: cities and offer to train them to drive his truck
Speaker 1: cement trucks and pay them better salaries than they're getting. Now,
Speaker 1: can you believe that? By the way, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: going to do this. I just got to get the
Speaker 1: follow up. But um, I'm like, of course, I'd love
Speaker 1: to do that. And here's the thing. Enough cops have
Speaker 1: had it. They can't They know they can't do their job.
Speaker 1: They know they're in a no win situation. They know
Speaker 1: it's open warfare against them, and there's just no point
Speaker 1: anymore for them. And it's sad because yeah, yeah, all right, anyway,
Speaker 1: good call. Thank you, Sinday, appreciate it. Eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine for one. Sean, you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. Uh, Mike is in Chicago. What's up,
Speaker 1: Mike her Are you hi? Sean Hannity, I hope you're well.
Speaker 1: I thank you, and you know you do it. I
Speaker 1: sound like shift all week. I'm gonna really have to
Speaker 1: rest my voice this weekend. Yeah, I was wondering, but
Speaker 1: you know what you do, what you do extremely well,
Speaker 1: very very nice. I'm gonna make a claim and I
Speaker 1: know and I have back into it. You've got to
Speaker 1: stay on this tax the wealthy, the corporations people are
Speaker 1: paying zero taxes. Make them pay their fair share. That
Speaker 1: is garbage. And you know I'm not I have George
Speaker 1: Bailey wealth, you know, all right, have money. You know,
Speaker 1: I chazz people and I get their information. That's my wealth,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm by the way. Can you ever forget
Speaker 1: the speech of George Bailey to Potter, the guy that
Speaker 1: owns the bank. Well, they may be channel to you,
Speaker 1: mister Potter, but to them, my father saw them as
Speaker 1: as the people that that work and and and they
Speaker 1: make this country great and every way, and don't they
Speaker 1: deserve Wait for what till they can buy a home? Outright?
Speaker 1: They can't have two you know, a few decent bedrooms
Speaker 1: and a bath. Uh. They were people to make my
Speaker 1: father not to you. I mean it was a great speech.
Speaker 1: I didn't do it as well. I didn't do it justice.
Speaker 1: You did it just fine, exactly. You know that that
Speaker 1: makes people feel wealthy when they have that, and this
Speaker 1: is why, you know, if you keep going after the
Speaker 1: rich and you know, have the separation of peasants and
Speaker 1: rich people. You know, we've seen this in other countries
Speaker 1: and it doesn't work. We've seen it in other governments.
Speaker 1: The wealthy people are the reasons grass roots and foundations
Speaker 1: and food pantries and homeless shelters are funded. And you
Speaker 1: know I can make that because I service machinery and
Speaker 1: I was at the Northern Illinois uh Food Bank, and
Speaker 1: because my wealth is in jazzing other people and getting
Speaker 1: to know them. You know that That's how I accumulate
Speaker 1: my wealth. And I'm very happy about it. He tells me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they need food, but if it wasn't for wealthy people
Speaker 1: getting exemptions and giving up their well earned money, and
Speaker 1: you know, God bless them that they made millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: You know. Oh when I when I did these other
Speaker 1: jobs in my life. And I've said this on the
Speaker 1: air before, people don't believe me. I don't think fame
Speaker 1: is a good thing. I don't think it's a healthy thing.
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I've seen the worst side of it,
Speaker 1: and I've seen people absolutely lose touch with it. If
Speaker 1: there are any things that keep me grounded, one is
Speaker 1: my strong belief in God, our Father, my Christianity, my faith.
Speaker 1: And the other is and my strong belief in a creator.
Speaker 1: And my second would be the fact that I spent
Speaker 1: two decades plus in my life working at hardps. It
Speaker 1: kept me grounded. And when I started in radio, I
Speaker 1: didn't expect to make any money, Mike. But what I
Speaker 1: remember is this, when I worked in a restaurant. Poor
Speaker 1: people can't go to restaurants, it's too expensive. And middle
Speaker 1: income people certainly do. But I never got a job
Speaker 1: in my life from poor people as a contractor. I
Speaker 1: never painted a poor person's house because they can't afford it.
Speaker 1: All of us in freedom, where we get the opportunity
Speaker 1: to blossom. If you get a good education, come from
Speaker 1: a good family, and you know you don't get too traumatized.
Speaker 1: Life is tough. Everybody will face obstacles in life. I
Speaker 1: don't care what your financial status is. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just that's life. Man. You gotta suck it up, and
Speaker 1: you gotta work hard, and you gotta do things you
Speaker 1: don't want to do. But my point is you're not
Speaker 1: I don't know where this resentment comes from, or the
Speaker 1: idea that because somebody else has more than me, I
Speaker 1: should not like them. I don't really you know, do
Speaker 1: you really care what other people have? I don't care
Speaker 1: what other people have. You know now that I was
Speaker 1: poor in my life, I and I have money now
Speaker 1: in my life. It's a lot easier when you have money.
Speaker 1: Money is freedom. But I still don't. I still never
Speaker 1: will buy myself a Rolex watch. I buy him for friends,
Speaker 1: but not for me. I don't want it, the trappings
Speaker 1: of money in my life. I know people don't believe it,
Speaker 1: but it's true. Last word, that's right, Sean. And you
Speaker 1: know the fact that the wealthy people help out all
Speaker 1: these other organizations is a true form of we the people,
Speaker 1: for the people, by the people. You know. One of
Speaker 1: the coolest things when you have extra money is you
Speaker 1: get to be generous to other people. I love that
Speaker 1: you will be, and you will be. I try to be.
Speaker 1: I do better. If I say give me, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take thirty three percent of your money, or should I say, Sean,
Speaker 1: do you think you could give us some of your money?
Speaker 1: You know, I had this debate. I have a hard
Speaker 1: time the Catholic Church really turned me against formal churches.
Speaker 1: And I'm like a non denominational Christian and somebody talk
Speaker 1: to me. Recently. We had a discussion about tithing and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I believe in tithing, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be through the church. And this person was
Speaker 1: telling me how not biblical I am. And I said no,
Speaker 1: but I'll give at least that usually more to the
Speaker 1: people that I run into my life that when I
Speaker 1: see a need, and if I see a need, I
Speaker 1: step up. It's not that complicated, and it's my great
Speaker 1: pleasure when I when I'm able to do that. All right,
Speaker 1: I got a roll though, Thanks Mike Don Lake Ron Concoma.
Speaker 1: What's up, my brother? How are you? Hey? Sean so
Speaker 1: always great to talk to you. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Thank you, buddy. You know, isn't
Speaker 1: it amazing? How were you learning today? How half of
Speaker 1: the China COVID nineteen pandemic relief it's been stolen because
Speaker 1: four hundred billion? Yeah, of course, unemployment fraud four hundred billion.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if we ever got down to
Speaker 1: I called my accountant very early on and I said,
Speaker 1: I said, a couple of things. I won't tell everything
Speaker 1: I said, but one of the things I said, any
Speaker 1: any company I have control over, I'm not taking a dime.
Speaker 1: Ye I ain't. Don You're gonna laugh at this. You
Speaker 1: know all those checks they were they actually sent them
Speaker 1: to me. They said, they sent me the fourteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollar check and the two six hundred dollar checks, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't cash it. I gotta check. And my
Speaker 1: both my my daughter and her husband were laid off,
Speaker 1: so it went to them. But this sound unemployment and
Speaker 1: also the lies an inflation that we're seeing now. It's bad.
Speaker 1: Don you know, we've we've watched this over the years.
Speaker 1: We've been friends for a long time. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: I will tell you you know, I know this sounds nuts.
Speaker 1: And some of some people are going to be saying,
Speaker 1: Hannity or you're just you don't know what you're talking
Speaker 1: about now. I do have a few friends that have retired,
Speaker 1: and they've done so and transition perfectly. Most people that
Speaker 1: I know, though, when they stop working, they don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell to do with themselves. Everybody that knows
Speaker 1: me well fears that I'm going to stop working one day.
Speaker 1: They just do They don't want to be around me
Speaker 1: that much and say I've been a workaholic entire adult life.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna I'm a workaholic. These costs
Speaker 1: that get biding, the illustration that costing us is it's
Speaker 1: really incredible. And it could all go back to the
Speaker 1: cutting off of that Keystone pipeline giving it to the Russians,
Speaker 1: this border crisis that Kamala Harris refuses to go to
Speaker 1: and shown, my friend, I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 1: We have no idea what President Biden's going to spend
Speaker 1: in Europe this week. Oh good grief, God only knows.
Speaker 1: You know. Putin may may do it publicly, may not.
Speaker 1: He's gonna eat Joe's lunch, Sippy cups lunch. And I
Speaker 1: tell you the first thing he's gonna do is gonna
Speaker 1: walk out of that meeting when his comrades they're gonna
Speaker 1: look at each other and they're gonna like, go, wow,
Speaker 1: this guy is a weak mess. It's I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 1: I find it embarrassing. I find that this president can
Speaker 1: barely hold the thought together. Embarrassing, I said, But President
Speaker 1: Jill Biden, Yeah, right, with the brief with the briefing
Speaker 1: book on Air Force one. Yeah, good point. All right,
Speaker 1: don you have a good weekend. Okay, my friend enjoy break.
Speaker 1: Right back to our phones. Eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 1: Shaun is our number. And when we come back, our
Speaker 1: friend General Tatum. What would be with us? How bad
Speaker 1: is the Putin meeting going to be? And we'll talk
Speaker 1: about the border, and we'll talk about the Iranians and
Speaker 1: the Chinese and the Russians and they're uniting together. Busy phones,
Speaker 1: David and Illinois. David, you're next. Glad you called, Sir Sean.
Speaker 1: It's a privilege. My apologies that you have to talk
Speaker 1: to so many of us from Illinois today, but I
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking my call. Thank you. I've got an
Speaker 1: issue out here. I'm a middle class worker, I'm a
Speaker 1: blue collar worker, and I'm hemorrhaging, and I am a
Speaker 1: die hard, die hard conservative, always have been, always will be.
Speaker 1: But I've got to express my disappointment with the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: They just haven't stood up for me out here. And
Speaker 1: until they get a spine, and until they man up
Speaker 1: and do the job that I need them to do
Speaker 1: for me and my family, I don't think I can
Speaker 1: support the Republican Party as it stands now And let
Speaker 1: me give you a brief example. Let me let me
Speaker 1: say this. I'm not a you know, I think you know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a registered Republican right right, I'm ag in
Speaker 1: New York. I register as a conservative, as a Conservative
Speaker 1: party is long. Look, I have been consistent, pretty consistent
Speaker 1: throughout my career. I've changed my views here and there.
Speaker 1: I think I've become a lot more libertarian in the
Speaker 1: last twenty four years of my life. But when you
Speaker 1: break down conservatism, I can do it in a minute.
Speaker 1: We believe in liberty, freedom, capitalism and our constitution, lower taxes,
Speaker 1: less pure oucracy, choice in schools, free market solutions for healthcare,
Speaker 1: protecting preexisting conditions, law and order for safety and security,
Speaker 1: energy independence, border security, free and fair trade, constitutionalists on
Speaker 1: the bench, and piece through strength. What am I missing?
Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing? That's who I am. And anybody that supports that,
Speaker 1: I don't give a flying adam shift what letters next
Speaker 1: to their name, because that will that that is America's
Speaker 1: ticket to strength and prosperity and the ladder for success
Speaker 1: for everybody. That's my that's my agenda. It hasn't changed much.
Speaker 1: I got to be honest, it just hasn't changed a
Speaker 1: whole lot. David. You know the report is there's eighty
Speaker 1: million of us out out here. I believe the number
Speaker 1: is much much higher. Can you imagine the power that
Speaker 1: we would have if we had one voice and we united.
Speaker 1: What would happen? What would happen? Trump got us close,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what what hurt? Donald Trump the
Speaker 1: most called COVID nineteen COVID nineteen. Um. But but but
Speaker 1: he he showed us that he can do it. He
Speaker 1: showed Republicans how to fight. And then you know, you
Speaker 1: got You're gonna always have the Liz Cheneys and Barbara
Speaker 1: Comstocks of the world and the never Trumpers and the
Speaker 1: Lincoln Project. You know they'll do it, and the Remit
Speaker 1: Romneys and Ben Sass, the Jackass and Lisa Murkowski's. But
Speaker 1: you know what, they're not taking the party over. This
Speaker 1: party is now. We know what works and we'll stick
Speaker 1: with it all. I gotta run, though, David, god blush,
Speaker 1: you quick break right back your calls on the other side,
Speaker 1: straight ahead, all right, news, round up, information overload hour.
Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls. Final half hour of the program.
Speaker 1: Today we have now Kamala Harris. The verdict is in.
Speaker 1: Even her staunchest supporters and the mob and the media
Speaker 1: recognize that this trip to Guatemala, where she was lectured
Speaker 1: by the Guatemalan president and then Mexico, was an a
Speaker 1: mitigated disaster. A softball question from lester Holt about whether
Speaker 1: you're going to go to the border that ended in
Speaker 1: a un mitigated a disaster. She was asked again about it,
Speaker 1: and this by a univation a reporter. Uh, and this
Speaker 1: is what she snapped back at. I've said I'm going
Speaker 1: to go to the border. And when are you going
Speaker 1: to the border? Vice President administration has asked her, I'm
Speaker 1: not finished. I've said I'm going to the border. And also,
Speaker 1: if we are going to deal with the problems at
Speaker 1: the border, we have to deal with the problems that
Speaker 1: cause people to go to the border, to flee to
Speaker 1: the border, and that is the root causes. So my
Speaker 1: first trip as Vice President of the United States was
Speaker 1: to go, in terms of a foreign trip to Guatemala,
Speaker 1: to be on the ground there, to address and to
Speaker 1: and to be informed of the root causes. Why are
Speaker 1: the people of Guatemala leaving. Do you have a date?
Speaker 1: I will keep you posting. No date. You know, I
Speaker 1: haven't been in European I guess she hasn't been to
Speaker 1: the moon either as well. And it's it's pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's as this is going on now. In
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, Joe Biden has identified three separate
Speaker 1: well in the last number of weeks, three separate things
Speaker 1: that is our biggest national security threat. One is Russia. Okay,
Speaker 1: what about China? What about Iran? What about a nuclear
Speaker 1: armed Iran? What about radical Islamic terrorism? What about North Korea?
Speaker 1: What about the alliance between the Chinese, the Russians and
Speaker 1: the Iranians. The Chinese and the Russians providing Iran arms
Speaker 1: and they're fighting their proxy war throughout the rest of
Speaker 1: the Middle East with those arms, you know. And then
Speaker 1: Joe Biden switches and after you know, Russia's one answer.
Speaker 1: White supremacy gave his an answer last week. This week,
Speaker 1: he says the number one problem challenge the military that
Speaker 1: you'll be facing threat is climate change. There's what he said,
Speaker 1: MS all commit to an ambitious climate action if we're
Speaker 1: going to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, living,
Speaker 1: global warming warming, to know more than one point five
Speaker 1: degree celsius, lead the global transition to clean energy technology.
Speaker 1: You know, went on over in the tank and the
Speaker 1: Pentagon when I first was elected vice president of President
Speaker 1: Obama Military saddest town to let us know what the
Speaker 1: greatest threats facing America were, the greatest physical threats. This
Speaker 1: is not a joke. You know what the Joint chiefs
Speaker 1: told us. The greatest threat facing America was global warming,
Speaker 1: global warming, not China, not the nuclear armed Iran, not
Speaker 1: Russia that just hacked us twice, took seventeen states, and
Speaker 1: we saw the disaster of what happened with colonial pipeline.
Speaker 1: Energy prices were now up about a dollar a gallon
Speaker 1: for gasoline for every American, and that much more for
Speaker 1: the good you buy, which I talked about in the
Speaker 1: last hour, and I'm telling you it is that bad.
Speaker 1: So in one in a week and a half, Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin gets a waiver to build his pipeline. But Joe
Speaker 1: canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and fired all these guys
Speaker 1: in the energy sector, high paying career jobs. There. Then
Speaker 1: he allows TikTok, which we believed Donald Trump believed and
Speaker 1: our security apparatus believed, was using to spy on America.
Speaker 1: He just reinstates it for the communist Chinese and now
Speaker 1: the Biden officials of lyft sanctions on Iranian officials and businesses.
Speaker 1: Why is he so hell bent on appeasing all these
Speaker 1: hostile regimes that despise us? Anyway, General Tata is with us.
Speaker 1: He's got a new book out, Chasing the Lion, and
Speaker 1: it's just out this month. Thank you, sir for being
Speaker 1: one of us. How are you great to speak with
Speaker 1: you again, Sean, It's been a few months and I'm
Speaker 1: proud to be on your show. Why would you give
Speaker 1: a waiver to build a pipeline to Vladimir and fire
Speaker 1: American workers on the Keystone XL pipeline. Why would you
Speaker 1: lift sanctions on a ran without any anything in return?
Speaker 1: Why would you allow the Chinese to get back into
Speaker 1: the spying business with TikTok? Can you explain these things
Speaker 1: to me? Yeah, Sean, I think there's two things going
Speaker 1: on here. On One is that President Trump was tough
Speaker 1: on all three of those issues you just listed, and
Speaker 1: so the left wing progressive knee jerk reaction as if
Speaker 1: Trump did it. They want to do the one eighty opposite.
Speaker 1: You know, US national interest be dammed. And so the
Speaker 1: North Stream Pipeline is a bad decision. It's bad for NATO,
Speaker 1: it's bad for Germany, it's bad for the collective security
Speaker 1: arrangement there, and it's bad for American energy independence, which
Speaker 1: we had under President Trump. And you know, energy and
Speaker 1: dependance is national security matter first and foremost. Think of
Speaker 1: all the wards we fought in the Middle East over
Speaker 1: access to oil, and then when you get down to Iran,
Speaker 1: you know that's just the left wing Progressive Party given
Speaker 1: President Biden talking points about that. The first thing he did,
Speaker 1: remember was Shaudi Arabia. He stopped intel sharing on the Hooties.
Speaker 1: And you know, when I was performing the duties as
Speaker 1: the UNDERSECTA for policy in DoD Now, we had a
Speaker 1: lot of discussions about all of this and the President's
Speaker 1: President Trump's policies were right on the spot with regard
Speaker 1: to protecting Americans and American national security interests overseas. Why
Speaker 1: would we stop sharing intelligence with the Saudis on Iranian
Speaker 1: shipments to the Hooties in Yemen of weapons And then
Speaker 1: the same thing, Oh, by the way, and the weapons
Speaker 1: are provided by Putin and President She to hostile regimes
Speaker 1: well and given to a third hosta regime and Sean.
Speaker 1: It's better than that, it's bought for. It is paid
Speaker 1: for with the money that President Obama gave him a
Speaker 1: four years ago. So I mean, it's it's and this
Speaker 1: is why, and that that tip of the hand is
Speaker 1: um they want to get back into the JCPOA, the
Speaker 1: Iran nuclear deal, which is the worst possible thing for
Speaker 1: Middy's security and stability. And President Trump was moving fast
Speaker 1: on Middle East security, all of the Abraham Accords that
Speaker 1: he and the Secretary Pompeo and Jared Krishner had pulled together.
Speaker 1: I mean, just very significant movement there in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: And then you you know, you mentioned China, and China
Speaker 1: is outpacing us by a significant margin and their military
Speaker 1: growth and in their economic growth. And so when you
Speaker 1: look at what President Trump was trying to do to
Speaker 1: stop the spying through these apps, uh, yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a lot of discussions about all this, and again President
Speaker 1: Trump was right, and these are things where you know
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans just kind of happily download TikTok
Speaker 1: or some of these other apps and you know, give
Speaker 1: their information away, and some of these problems don't come
Speaker 1: home to Ruth for a year, two years, three years.
Speaker 1: But I guarantee you that President Trump and those policies
Speaker 1: that we had in place were absolutely right. And this
Speaker 1: sort of reckless undoing of the Trump policies, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: in the name of what Biden says, America is back,
Speaker 1: give me a break. We had great relations. I had
Speaker 1: great conversations and signed deals right up to you know,
Speaker 1: running through the tape in January, signing deals with you know,
Speaker 1: several nations on defense agreements to defense cooperation, unloading the
Speaker 1: American burden and having other teams step up, other countries
Speaker 1: step up. President Trump did a great job in this
Speaker 1: regard and President Biden's undoing it. You know, I think,
Speaker 1: and look, I know people on the left don't like
Speaker 1: him when I say it, But all I do is
Speaker 1: start playing the reels of Joe Biden. And when I
Speaker 1: show video of Biden from twenty twelve or twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: and I compare it to today, seems like a shell
Speaker 1: of his former self. He seems weak and frail. He's
Speaker 1: definitely a cognitive mess. And even though the media protects him.
Speaker 1: I just call it as I see it, and I've
Speaker 1: got all the tape to back it up. The problem is,
Speaker 1: I don't think that the leaders of these hostile regimes
Speaker 1: like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. I don't really think
Speaker 1: they give a damn what our media thinks. They're assessing
Speaker 1: Joe Biden every day, and I'm pretty confident they've come
Speaker 1: to the same conclusion I've come to, which is this
Speaker 1: guy is a cognitive mess, and I think that has
Speaker 1: now emboldened all of these countries. You know, we see
Speaker 1: China and their geopolitical ambitions playing out in the China
Speaker 1: Sea and elsewhere. We see Russia now back on the
Speaker 1: border with Ukraine. We see the Iranians brazenly, you know,
Speaker 1: fighting this proxy war in Yemen, as you rightly referred to.
Speaker 1: The that's been going on now for a while. So
Speaker 1: I think they look at a week America now, if
Speaker 1: bb net and Yahoo is no longer going to be
Speaker 1: the prime Minister, which it appears that's the path we'll
Speaker 1: find out on Sunday. If he can't flip one vote,
Speaker 1: then I am really concerned because he was the only
Speaker 1: other guy on the world stage that seemed to have
Speaker 1: the moral clarity that identified evil for what it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right about that, John, you know, the starting with
Speaker 1: the NET and Yahoo and Israel and the importance of
Speaker 1: that strategic ally and our closest ally in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. I ran as evil. Hamas is evil,
Speaker 1: is evil. The Hooties are evil, and they are attempting
Speaker 1: to export terror. I ran through all of these instruments
Speaker 1: of war to attack Western liberties and freedoms and economies.
Speaker 1: That's that is one percent what's happening here. And to
Speaker 1: the extent that President Biden either does not recognize that
Speaker 1: or is being told what to do because of all
Speaker 1: the things that you mentioned, I think the American people
Speaker 1: deserve to know who's who's actually calling the shots, because
Speaker 1: when you look at what Vice President Harris did on
Speaker 1: that disaster of a trip to Central America and her
Speaker 1: refusal to answer the question about not going to the borders,
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to go to the border Sean because
Speaker 1: it's a mess down there and it will bring attention
Speaker 1: to the worsening of the situation, not the betterment of
Speaker 1: the situation, as they pretended during the campaign. The numbers
Speaker 1: generals speak for themselves, don't they. I mean, we're going
Speaker 1: to shatter at twenty five year high of illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: coming into this country. And on top of that, we're
Speaker 1: facing record inflation we haven't seen in fifteen years, record
Speaker 1: high prices on everything, energy prices gallon of gasoline up
Speaker 1: a dollar a gallon. That's that's real money. That's impacting
Speaker 1: every family in the country. I mean, these policies are
Speaker 1: disastrous and he's not been in long right, right, and
Speaker 1: policies have impact on the American people from a security
Speaker 1: you know, if you remember Sean in twenty sixteen, so
Speaker 1: the two number one things where the economy and then
Speaker 1: remember isis was a big bad deal. And you know,
Speaker 1: it could be argued that President Trump did too good
Speaker 1: a job by giving the military the authority to go
Speaker 1: out and crush iis what they did, which they did.
Speaker 1: Now you know, we're heading back in that direction, right
Speaker 1: with national security coming back to the forefront as a
Speaker 1: domestic issue because when you when you minimize our energy output,
Speaker 1: all of the steps going on with respect to the
Speaker 1: oil and gas industry are catastrophic for this country and
Speaker 1: it puts us back into a situation where we're competing
Speaker 1: with for oil, with all these countries that either are
Speaker 1: contentious or want to do us harm like I ran,
Speaker 1: and we are in a real bad spot right now
Speaker 1: with just you know, four or five months of undoing
Speaker 1: the previous policies that we that we're gain in traction.
Speaker 1: We're serving the American people well, and you know, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but you know, the NATO was just fine, right. Every
Speaker 1: collective security arrangement needs, uh, you know, an alpha in it,
Speaker 1: and NATO, you know needed that alpha. Particularly we got
Speaker 1: all those betas in there with the France and Canada
Speaker 1: and all of that. You know, Trump was the alpha,
Speaker 1: and he said, look, this is this is how we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Well, take a quick break. We'll come
Speaker 1: back more with General Tata on the other side, his
Speaker 1: new book, Chasing the Lion Amazon dot com, Hannity dot
Speaker 1: Com Books. As we continue with General Tata worked at
Speaker 1: the Trump White House, author of his new book, Chasing
Speaker 1: the Lion Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com. I think
Speaker 1: there was a healthy respect and fear of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: the fear being based in if he says it, he's
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And I don't think that fear exists today. No,
Speaker 1: absolutely not, because one is that it's a morphous right.
Speaker 1: You see Biden backing off all of these policies that
Speaker 1: reinstituted American strength and leadership in the world. And when
Speaker 1: Biden says America is back, what he's talking about is
Speaker 1: back to the Obama years where we subordinated our self
Speaker 1: interests as a nation to collective security arrangements around the world.
Speaker 1: And you just can't have that because that puts us
Speaker 1: in a weekend position from a policy standpoint where all
Speaker 1: all the despots you mentioned, whether it's Putin or z
Speaker 1: Or or you know, the Iran leadership, all of them
Speaker 1: are watching. You know that the recent acts on all
Speaker 1: of our infrastructure and the colonial pipeline and all of that,
Speaker 1: those are probing attacks. We always get, whether you're a
Speaker 1: platoon and combat up to the United States commander chief,
Speaker 1: everybody gets. Everybody gets tested during changes of command. This
Speaker 1: is a change of command. It's happened. And so you've
Speaker 1: got China, you've got Russia, you've got Iran, all testing
Speaker 1: in this some oss attack on Israel was a test
Speaker 1: of how Biden would respond and and what you know,
Speaker 1: So now they and these are probing attacks. They're not
Speaker 1: the big attack. These are Okay, let's do this to
Speaker 1: see how they'll respond. Now, let's shuttle and figure out
Speaker 1: how to move forward. And now we're going to come
Speaker 1: in with a bigger thing, whatever that is from China,
Speaker 1: Iran or Russia. And they are assessing it is a
Speaker 1: cruel world out there. And you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: these progressives think that, oh well, if we just kind
Speaker 1: of give in a little bit, it's all going to
Speaker 1: be okay, they'll understand, and that's just not the case. Well, General,
Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure to have you. By the way,
Speaker 1: the General's new book is out, Chasing the Lion. It's
Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere. General,
Speaker 1: where are you when we need you? We need people
Speaker 1: like you now more than ever. Thank you for being
Speaker 1: with us. Always a privilege, son, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All right, eight hundred nine p one sewn your calls.
Speaker 1: Final half hour of the program today, quick break right back,
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five to the top of the hour
Speaker 1: on Friday. All right, let's for the final half hour.
Speaker 1: Let's just get to calls. Brian is in the Great
Speaker 1: State of GEORGIOE which has far less restrictive voting. They're
Speaker 1: far more accessible voting opportunities in Georgia than Delaware. But
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, who never lifted a finger to make voting
Speaker 1: more accessible in Delaware, says George's Jim Crow two point zero.
Speaker 1: And as a result of Joe and Stacy Abrams, about
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars in business was taken away from
Speaker 1: Georgia by the Major League Baseball idiot commissioner and brought
Speaker 1: to a state that only has nine percent minority population,
Speaker 1: that's Colorado. Delaware doesn't have seventeen days early in person voting.
Speaker 1: Delaware doesn't have any drop boxes. Delaware doesn't. Delaware doesn't
Speaker 1: have no excuse absentee voting. You have to provide an excuse,
Speaker 1: and both states demand voter id And then he gets
Speaker 1: away with saying that to Georgia, hurting the people of Georgia,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Stacy Abrams, Oh, the people of Georgia.
Speaker 1: An apology, Brian, sorry to go onto that rant. Oh yes, sir,
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. Awful a little bit
Speaker 1: topic here. I'd love to comment on that one, but
Speaker 1: I just want to say about the border issue to me.
Speaker 1: It seems wrong to have the federal government kind of
Speaker 1: break the law by taking these illegals in and then
Speaker 1: you know, making the states deal with them. My question is,
Speaker 1: why can't the states do anything about this, considering you know,
Speaker 1: the states can make marijuana legal even though it's a
Speaker 1: federally against the law. You know what I mean, You're
Speaker 1: you're asking a million dollar question that I've asked Governor Abbott,
Speaker 1: who I'm very fond of and I support for reelection
Speaker 1: down in Texas and Attorney down General Bernovich in Arizona,
Speaker 1: who's now running for the Senate against Mark Kelly, and
Speaker 1: I hope he wins that seat. Your question is crucial.
Speaker 1: This was challenge you remember, Jan Brewer was the governor
Speaker 1: of Arizona, and the courts didn't are not recognizing that
Speaker 1: the states should have the right if the federal government
Speaker 1: fails to enforce the laws of the land, to enforce
Speaker 1: it themselves. Because you're right, you know, not only is
Speaker 1: Joe not you know, picking and choosing which laws he
Speaker 1: wants to listen to, but Joe is then also aiding
Speaker 1: and abetting law breaking, you know, by housing, you know,
Speaker 1: building cages for kids in the middle of the pandemic
Speaker 1: and putting them on top of each other and then
Speaker 1: shipping them out in the dark a night to states.
Speaker 1: And then the states are responsible for food and shelter
Speaker 1: and healthcare and education. And you know it's an unfunded
Speaker 1: federal mandate. Now, I do give Greg Abbott credit. Greg
Speaker 1: Abbott said just this week, I'm going to continue building
Speaker 1: the wall in Texas and I'll protect my own borders.
Speaker 1: And he has every right to do it. And I
Speaker 1: think if A. G. Bernovich has his way, they do
Speaker 1: the same thing in Arizona's. He's a great attorney general.
Speaker 1: He's I think he's an amazing guy. Yes, sir, Now
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be considered seating the during a pandemic? They're
Speaker 1: kind of seating the virus around. They're taking untested, legal
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants and putting them in places where where we'll
Speaker 1: maybe even restart the virus. I mean that should be
Speaker 1: a major concern, not only the monetary value of having
Speaker 1: to pay for all this. Look, you're raising so many
Speaker 1: good points, Brian. You know, Look, you would think we
Speaker 1: would have learned something, you know, in light of COVID.
Speaker 1: But people don't learn, you know, with all the talk
Speaker 1: of you know, oh, super spreader events. The biggest super
Speaker 1: spreader situation was created by Joe and Kamala when they
Speaker 1: were put building these kids cages and putting them on
Speaker 1: top of each other with a high rate of positive
Speaker 1: testing for covid um in the middle of a pandemic
Speaker 1: and then shipping them out and not even all right,
Speaker 1: So the answer is, if you want to come to
Speaker 1: this country, I think there's three main things you've You've
Speaker 1: got to do it legally, and I would say, we
Speaker 1: need a security check on anybody that comes into this country.
Speaker 1: We need to know you don't have radical associations. We
Speaker 1: need a health check, especially in light of what we've
Speaker 1: learned from COVID nineteen. The third thing is you've got
Speaker 1: to be able to prove that you're going to be
Speaker 1: financially able to care for yourself and not be a
Speaker 1: burden to the American taxpayer if we in fact invite
Speaker 1: you into the country. I don't care where you come from.
Speaker 1: And I just asked that you respect our laws, our sovereignty,
Speaker 1: and our borders and pass those three tests. Is that
Speaker 1: too much? That's awesome? I thought about it once or twice.
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, all my best my pals down in George. Okay, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: all right, we have a lot of calls from stupid states.
Speaker 1: We have two calls from California, and we got one
Speaker 1: call from New York. Let's start with the New York
Speaker 1: socialist state of the socialist utopia state of New York.
Speaker 1: And Tyler is next on the Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Tyler,
Speaker 1: hey Son, how's it going? You know, you and I
Speaker 1: are two very dumb people. You want to know because
Speaker 1: we're living in New York and we're paying fifteen percent
Speaker 1: more in taxes on our salaries. We're paying the highest
Speaker 1: property taxes in the country. If you die in New York,
Speaker 1: they even take ten percent more or fifteen percent, I
Speaker 1: forget the number in their own separate death tax on
Speaker 1: top of the forty percent the federal government takes. What
Speaker 1: is wrong with us? We're stupid to stay here. So
Speaker 1: I'm twenty two. I just graduated from college. You know,
Speaker 1: I've got planned. Also did my son and he's not
Speaker 1: in New York. Well, congratulations to yourself for graduating, and
Speaker 1: you know, even bigger prospering him not holding in New York.
Speaker 1: I give him, you know, total credit for that. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm planning I'm moving out of New York,
Speaker 1: hopefully within the next couple of years, if everything you know,
Speaker 1: worked out financially. You know, I'm looking at going and
Speaker 1: hopefully rond de Sandras is still governor Florida, if he's
Speaker 1: not president by then, you know, I'm really hoping to
Speaker 1: And you know, says Governor Cuoma would like to say,
Speaker 1: he's blaming it on the weather. And you know, the
Speaker 1: horrendous tax rates that we've got, you know, the corruption
Speaker 1: that's running granted in Albany, you know everything, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just falls. It's a domino effect in the state.
Speaker 1: And let me ask you twenty two years old, and
Speaker 1: I say this to my own son, Um, what do
Speaker 1: you want to do with your life right now? Where?
Speaker 1: What are you planning as a profession. So you know,
Speaker 1: I graduated with a degree in political science Dunanta, and
Speaker 1: I really my focus was trying to at least work
Speaker 1: in the government in some fashion. You know, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at going to grad school. I'm still undecided as if
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, go with the communications route
Speaker 1: for for masters for grad school or you know, further
Speaker 1: my education in political science. So you know, everything's up
Speaker 1: in the air. But I know one thing. I don't
Speaker 1: want to go to school anymore. You know, or I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen, I'll tell you right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: at least in Washington there are good people to work
Speaker 1: for and work with on the political side. There's nothing
Speaker 1: in Albany. New York is con Albany is a cesspool,
Speaker 1: and I don't see any hope of New York. I
Speaker 1: see my friend Curtis Sliwa, I'm friends with him a
Speaker 1: long time. I'd love to see Curtis beat out all
Speaker 1: of these Democratic candidates in New York City. The problem
Speaker 1: is for both of them is that Democrats in New
Speaker 1: York City out number of Republicans nine to one. I
Speaker 1: would suggest to you, if that's your passion and you
Speaker 1: know whatever you work out right, First of all, you
Speaker 1: can you're twenty two years old. You can't make a mistake.
Speaker 1: If you go back to school, you can't make a mistake.
Speaker 1: If you go into the workplace, you can't make a mistake.
Speaker 1: You know, right now is the time for you to
Speaker 1: really really hone in on what you want to do
Speaker 1: with your life and what you have a passion for
Speaker 1: because you spend a lot of your life working, so
Speaker 1: you might as well like what you do. I mean, granted,
Speaker 1: I've been watching you, you know, since I was a
Speaker 1: junior in high school, and I've I've followed you ever since.
Speaker 1: And you know, I get home from work and actually
Speaker 1: while I'm at work, got your radio show in my
Speaker 1: car and my headphones, and I'm watching you every night
Speaker 1: I'm Fox. And you know, I've I've really enjoyed, you know,
Speaker 1: the joy that you brought not only to to my
Speaker 1: you know, young and impressionable mind, but you know to
Speaker 1: the millions of other like minded you know, college kids,
Speaker 1: you know, mid twenties kids like myself. You know, you're
Speaker 1: behind Rush Namball. Honestly, for me, you're if you and
Speaker 1: Rush are you know, the cornerstones of you know, modern
Speaker 1: day conservatism and President Trump you know he echoed that
Speaker 1: as well. But you know, having you fight for you know,
Speaker 1: us on a daily basis, and you know, you getting
Speaker 1: us the message every single day, and just you know,
Speaker 1: just the way you present things, that's really what strikes
Speaker 1: home for me. Well, look, I mean it's a it's
Speaker 1: a tragic loss for conservatism because Rush was such a
Speaker 1: positive articulate force for and spokesperson for this movement. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm very honored that you're paying me a high compliment.
Speaker 1: You're remind me a little bit of me. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. I was a young teenager and I was
Speaker 1: I was just locked in, addicted to listening to talk radio,
Speaker 1: and and I loved it. I'd love passionately. You know.
Speaker 1: I just know this is that, you know what, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of political cycles, Tyler. And you know, is
Speaker 1: it more fun to win like we did in twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen than to go through what we went through in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, but you know what, two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight happened, and then the Tea Party came, and then
Speaker 1: Donald Trump came, and you know, there's for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: this country forever seems to flirt with radical socialism, never
Speaker 1: to this extent, and then we you know, it fails
Speaker 1: drastically and we lurch back to the center right country
Speaker 1: that we are. I believe that'll happen again. My advice
Speaker 1: either go to school, don't go to school. If you
Speaker 1: want it politics, do it in Washington, not in Albany.
Speaker 1: And I'd probably live in Virginia, not DC. That's my
Speaker 1: my my two cents worth, but follow your passion. You know,
Speaker 1: you work a lot of hours every day. You gotta
Speaker 1: like what you do, all right, my friend? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: actually can I jumped to the main point of the
Speaker 1: call actually before you cut loose. So my premise of
Speaker 1: of the call today was was to talk about you know,
Speaker 1: sweepy Joe and his you know, upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you saw the magazine cover from Time
Speaker 1: magazine today, you know, presenting him as this this tough guy.
Speaker 1: But we're getting the green light to the pipeline in
Speaker 1: Russia with direct access to Germany. But we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline in the States. But that's okay. Well,
Speaker 1: we're standing up to Putin. But Trump was a puppet
Speaker 1: to Russia. Yeah, well it's it was. It wasn't Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's kids that got paid by the Russian alagark and
Speaker 1: the Kazakhstan alagarc are by Bisma and Ukraine and by
Speaker 1: taking on a hundred thousand dollars shoppings pretty with the
Speaker 1: Chinese National and the one point five billion dollars deal
Speaker 1: with the Bank of China. That was the Biden's you
Speaker 1: know what that sounds like to me? Sounds like pay
Speaker 1: to play? And I quit in a pro and a quo. Tyler,
Speaker 1: good luck, my friend. Got to get some other calls
Speaker 1: in here. We have two people from California. They'll join
Speaker 1: us at once, the United Socialist Utopia under Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 1: John and David John say Hi? Did David? David say Hi? Did? John?
Speaker 1: And both of you are as dumb as I am,
Speaker 1: and Tyler is because you're living in a state where
Speaker 1: you're paying way too much money. Hey John, what's going on?
Speaker 1: And David? How are you? I'm doing good. I just
Speaker 1: have one quick point, but I'll let John go first.
Speaker 1: All right, John, okay, well thank you? Yeah, I guess. Uh.
Speaker 1: First off, I want to say, Sean, a long time viewer,
Speaker 1: first time caller, will you enjoyed your show and thanks
Speaker 1: for the call and reason why I called it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, this whole COVID origin thing has me rather
Speaker 1: very concerned, and if you don't mind, I kind of
Speaker 1: want to go for what my understanding of the facts are.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can tell me what I have wrong or
Speaker 1: what I'm missing, um your mind. And but first off,
Speaker 1: you know I've been reading these articles. Of course there
Speaker 1: is an anti fair piece. I thought Cheryl Atkinson wrote
Speaker 1: a very good article back in April. You know. My
Speaker 1: understanding is is that back in you know, two thy fourteen,
Speaker 1: because of some you know, accents we had in our
Speaker 1: own labs, we put a pause on this whole you know,
Speaker 1: gain of function research. And then be subsequent to that,
Speaker 1: you know, Fauci, you know, I guess found some way
Speaker 1: to kind of work around at the beginning around two
Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen, you know, he started, you know, outsourcing
Speaker 1: some of this gain of function research to the Juhan lab.
Speaker 1: And during that time, I guess you get I don't
Speaker 1: really know just kind of basically what our reading only
Speaker 1: because we have constraints sometime, let me just say, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a lot to answer for. He really needs
Speaker 1: a criminal investigation. As Greg Jared said, that's not going
Speaker 1: to happen. I bet, but you know him saying if
Speaker 1: you criticize him, you're criticizing science. Nothing could be further
Speaker 1: from the truth. We now know he knew he was
Speaker 1: told on January thirty first, and we knew. We went
Speaker 1: into a panic state. David, we give you your shot Okay.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking it would be a great ideas
Speaker 1: with the immigration crisis, if you can keep a daily
Speaker 1: running tally of how many people are entering our country.
Speaker 1: And do you remember when Cronkite and Carter when we
Speaker 1: had the hostages in Iran? Kronkite would always start his
Speaker 1: broadcast every day with you know, this is day one
Speaker 1: fifty seven of the hostage crisis. I think he'd be
Speaker 1: a good media offense on our part if you could
Speaker 1: just keep a daily running total of how many illegals
Speaker 1: are coming into our country. Well, we've been getting We
Speaker 1: don't get daily totals, we get monthly totals and weekly totals.
Speaker 1: I could do a weekly update. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can get a daily count, but we're now averaging
Speaker 1: just shy of two hundred thousand a month that we're counting,
Speaker 1: and it's probably higher. But I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like Nightline was built off of Radian
Speaker 1: hostage crisis day four hundred forty two. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean America held hostage. Democrats have no opposition to this,
Speaker 1: and Democrats I think they believe like I think Republicans
Speaker 1: always want a cheap labor, and I think Democrats always
Speaker 1: wanted to hold out something of great value to a
Speaker 1: lot of people. If we give you amnesty, then you're
Speaker 1: gonna be Democrats, right. But it's not good for the
Speaker 1: country when you don't enforce your laws and that people
Speaker 1: don't respect our borders and our sovereignty. We have laws
Speaker 1: that govern this country based on a constitution. Thank you both.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and rest my voice a little bit
Speaker 1: over the weekend. See, I have been reluctant to go
Speaker 1: on medicine. I might have to bite the bullet. I
Speaker 1: just hate taking that stuff. Anyway. Listen, have a great weekend,
Speaker 1: Joe and Vladimir next week, God help us all anyway, Well,
Speaker 1: a full coverage, have a great weekend. We'll see you
Speaker 1: back here on Monday. You make this show possible as always,
Speaker 1: Thank you and thank you for being with us. M
