It 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: is beyond insulting things that have been said about him 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: over the years. None of it is true. And when 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: you get to really know the person and know the 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: man as I have gotten to know, you come to 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: a very different conclusion about who this man is and 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: the good work that he does for this country.

Thank you. John. Let me say this, 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I call it America a 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: Redemption Story is because I was the kind of kid 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: who didn't do very well in life. Sean. As a 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: kid growing up in a parent households, I thought all 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: bets were off. There was no By the way, I 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: don't want to give out your report card yet, but 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: way did he hear? Hear what he got on as 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: a report cards? It's interesting and so yeah, I thought 43 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: all the best were off for me. I was growing 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: up in South Carolina. I was drifting in the wrong direction. 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: I failed four subjects for my freshman year, including Spanish 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: and English. And you know, Sean, you failed Spanish and English. 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: They don't call you bi lingual. They call you by 48 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: ignorant because you can't speak in any language. And I 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: also felt civics the study of politics, and that tells 50 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: me God has But you thought, but you were a 51 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: really good athlete. Correct, you're playing football. I was playing football, 52 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: and I thank God for football because literally it kept 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: me focused enough to get my act together. And in 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: this country, if you will work hard, if you will 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: dream big, the most amazing things can happen. And my 56 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: mother never gave up on me. She told me I 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: was blessed with the greatest citizenship in the world, being 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: an American. And she told me that with God as 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: my foundation, if I would not quit on myself, if 60 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I would do the work she was talking to do 61 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: it for me. If I would do the work, all 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: things are possible. And one of the things that you 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: read in my book is how if you do the work, 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: this country will afford you the best future you could 65 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: dream of, and we should be proud of America. We 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: should stand up and shout from the mountaintop that we 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: are blessed beyond recognition because we are American and we 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: do get a second chance at life. We do have 69 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: a story of redemption. Our country is at it, and 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: I've been blessed to live it. Let's talk about that 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: early life, your life in sports, where what you thought 72 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: your future was going to be, how you started out, 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: you failed what four out of five classes? In college? 74 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: You suffered the vilitating injury. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you Sean. 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: When I was a senior in high school, I fell 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: asleep driving my car down the Interstate and if you 77 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: would imagine sixteen year olds sleeping at the wheel, two 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: slams on the brakes and jerked the steering wheel, flipped 79 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: into traffic. I stopped through all the east bound lanes 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: as well as the west bound lanes, went through the windshield, 81 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: held on to the steering wheel. And one of the 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: reasons why I became a Christian and I believe in 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: supernational forces from the Good Lord, it's because that car accident, 84 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: where I probably should have died, I survived, and it 85 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: taught me to put football in its right place. I 86 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: love football. I didn't like my homework, as you can tell, 87 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: but I love football. And my thought was the only 88 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: way for a poor kid to get out of poverty 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: was through football. But I had a mentor, Yeahshan, I 90 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: got him John Monie, a chick lay operator. I love 91 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: Chick fil Ay and you love it, John, Yeah. And 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: every conservative should love a place that's opened six days 93 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: and closed one. Well. John Bonize literally teaches me that 94 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: just because you're poor, no matter the color of your skin, 95 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: if you look in the mirror and take responsibility for yourself, 96 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: if you learn how to be a business owner, even 97 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: if you work for somebody else, the most amazing future 98 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: is yours. And that combination. After the car accident, it 99 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: became real, and I had a small football scholarship to 100 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Presbyterian College, became a Christian, and then a few years 101 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: later I went into business for myself. And what John 102 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: taught me when I was fifteen years old until I 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: was nineteen became my realities that I didn't need to 104 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: play football to be successful. I didn't need to worry 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: about the neighborhood other was living and because those were 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: temporary things work really hard, and you can buy your 107 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: mother a house because in America all things are possible. 108 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: In my book, I go through the account an America 109 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: Redemption story about how it happened in my life and 110 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: how it could happen in your life. Mentors are such 111 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: an important part of it. And he was a conservative. 112 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: One of the things you'll learn about book is why 113 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: I became a conservative and why everyone in this country, black, white, red, 114 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: or brown should be a conservative too. It is the 115 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: most remarkable, blessed story that you can read in the book. 116 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: The book starts out with a very troubling story about 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: you being young and I think seven years old of 118 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: my mind. I read it a while back, refresh my mind. 119 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: But you were young, and I think, and you talk 120 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: about it in the book, and there is what I 121 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: guess was pretty much a typical day in your household 122 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: when your mom when your dad were together. Your dad 123 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: apparently was a heavy drinker, violent, abusive, and that incident 124 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: that you describe in the book tell that story. Yeah, 125 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: there's no doubt my dad had some issues, without question. 126 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: And one of the things that happened when I was 127 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: seven years old, we were on Air Force Space and 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: I woke up one morning my mother had had all 129 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: that she could take the challenges in that household, and 130 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: she decided it was time for us to move back. 131 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: And my dad was out minting words, was not kind 132 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: about what he thought my future looked like, and he 133 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: was very clear that by leaving him, we had no future. 134 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: And it was hard to digest, and it stuck like 135 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: blue to me and to my brother to some extent. 136 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: And I will say that my mother's for courage to 137 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: move back to South Carolina, in with their parents into 138 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: a very small, almost seven hundred square feet where she 139 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: ultimately had to share her bedroom with her two sons 140 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: and a bed so that we could just make ends meet. 141 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: But the pain and the misery, and frankly the scar 142 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: tissue in my life is one of the reasons why 143 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: I fight so hard for kids today stuck in poverty 144 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: and single parent households, Because as I grew older, I 145 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: understood that free market, capitalism, equality, education, these are the 146 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: tools that set the person free. And I needed that 147 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: less than and I feel thankful that I learned it 148 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: at a very vulnerable age. I had the right mentor 149 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: the right mom, and the right country, and that's why 150 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: I believe so dearly that the best is yet to 151 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: come for this country in spite of the current challenges 152 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: that we have through this administration and the horror that 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: comes from bad policy and bad direction. And then you've 154 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: moved in with your grandparents, and at some point months later, 155 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: your dad came to claim you and your brother, and 156 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: your grandfather stood in the way and said, that's not 157 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: going to happen. Well, Sean, you read the book. Thank 158 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: you for doing so. Absolutely. My father came back and 159 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: decided that it was time to reclaim as kids. Nothing 160 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: had changed in his life, and my grandfather opened the 161 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: door and said, not on my watch. It was a 162 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: very clear and short conversation, and we stayed in Charleston 163 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: and I learned, and I tell the story in America, 164 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: a story of redemption. I tell the story of how 165 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: that unfolded, and why my grandfather was so strong, and 166 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: what that means for kids growing up like me, why 167 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: we should be hopeful and optimistic even in the hardest 168 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: of time. You grow your metal under pressure.

Look we continue with Senator Tim Scott's new book, 178 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: America A Redemption Story. Let's talk about the turning point 179 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: you have the accident. You'd been an athlete, you thought 180 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: you had a very different future, and then things turned 181 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: for you dramatically. You're a horrible student, you aren't getting 182 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: you're failing out, and then you Let's go into the 183 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: moment of real change for you and what made the 184 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: difference for me, Sean. One of the things I talked 185 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: about in America, A Story of Redemption is how that 186 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: concept of redemption second chances was born in two major experiences. 187 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: One was that freshman year in high school when I 188 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: failed out. The second was in college when I gave 189 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: football up and went in the direction of my faith, 190 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: wanting to become a pastor. I learned very quickly that 191 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: it is better to give than receive it. There's a 192 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: scripture Luke six thirty eight that given that'll be good 193 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: and unto you lesson, you'll learn the lesson. But it's 194 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: also a journey of faith. And you know, I watch, 195 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe your past experience impacts how you feel 196 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: about things today. I've watched you viciously attacked, the most 197 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: vile thing said about you. I mean, I'd lived that 198 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: life myself, so I'm kind of immune to it because 199 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: I've been doing this thirty five years. I got the 200 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: impression that it probably bothers you a little bit more 201 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: than me. Um, maybe because I grew up in New 202 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: York and that was an average day in my life. 203 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: But I watch, particularly if you're an African American and 204 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: you're a conservative, It's like they can call you any vile, 205 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: horrific name, and that's still acceptable even in this woke environment. 206 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: There's woke world we now live in. Why is that? 207 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: You know, Sean, you hit the nail on the head. 208 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: There's no doubt that being attacked on a daily basis 209 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: is something that I am growing used to. You've gotten 210 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: used to it. But the one thing that I find 211 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: to be most disgusting is when racism is condoned as 212 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: long as it comes off of the lip of a 213 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: liberal media pundit. God forbid a conservative bring up the 214 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: issue of race. We are branded a racist, even though 215 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: we both know America is not a racist country. But 216 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: when the last and even the black leaders on TV 217 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: call me an uncle Tom or talk about negroes when 218 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: referring to herschall Walker, there is not a from the 219 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: national media. Let that be reversed for a middlesecond and 220 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: you would have a kind of disdain from this media. 221 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: But today racism is okay if you're a liberal elite 222 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: media pundit talking about a black conservative. That is disgusting. 223 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: And some things that you do have to grow sticker skin. 224 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why every single listener today 225 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: should support Hersha Walker in Georgia because we need more 226 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: conservative who are standing up and the greatest threat to 227 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: the liberal doctrine and the liberal progress are conservatives from 228 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: diverse communities who stand up and are counted because they 229 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: have the courage and the backbone and the support of 230 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: people like you, Sean. You've been on Herschel's campaign and 231 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: one of the things I gotta tell every single listener 232 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: is listening to this show makes a huge different lots 233 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: of the positive both you and him. You are better 234 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: than people than me, because when I interviewed him about 235 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: this recent attack, he said, well, I'm just going to 236 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: pray for the person I'm mic. I want to just 237 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: you take my fist and run it through their face 238 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: when people say it about me. But I will say this, 239 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: this book is an inspiration and you're going to relate 240 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: to so much of this book and learn from it 241 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: that it is worth reading for yourself. Get your kids 242 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: to read it us. Senator Tim Scott, America A redemption story, 243 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: choosing hope, creating Unity.

The handman is back on the 260 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: radio right now at twenty five to the top of 261 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: the hour, eight hundred nine one. Sean, if you want 262 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, what happened to 263 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: the summer just flying by? You know, one one trend 264 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: is emerging that you gotta really love now with all 265 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: the defundismantle, no bail law madness that's going on in 266 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: city after city after city, Blue state after Blue state, 267 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: Blue city after blue city. You know, they're not keeping 268 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: people safe and secure in their towns, the cities, their neighborhoods. 269 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: And it started with Jose album The Well, if you're 270 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: listening to Jill Biden, it's the bogadal worker, the bodega worker. Anyway, 271 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: So this guy I don't want any trouble, comes from 272 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: behind the counter, pushes him, attacks him, and bigger, stronger, 273 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: he defends himself, ends up that the guy died, and 274 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: he gets charged with second degree murder while he's defending himself. 275 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: Then public outcry leads to a dropping of the charges, 276 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: and I think that's the only reason the charges were dropped. 277 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: Then he got this eighty year old guy in a 278 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: liquor store, sees these what three four people come in 279 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: with you know, rifles are fifteens blazing, and he takes 280 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: that guy out. We had an incident in New York 281 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: where some lunatic is walking around and just punching anybody, 282 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: random people, old people in the face with no warning whatsoever. 283 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean, just blindsiding these people. Anyway, all he was 284 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: this was witnessed by the wrong guy. Guy's name is 285 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: Roe Malabannon, and he's an MMA fighters also an instructor 286 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: and a boxing instructor, and he's sick and tired of 287 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: people getting sucker punched. And anyway, he stepped in and 288 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: he restrained the guy, put him in a hold and 289 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: until the cops came and arrested him. Arrested the guy. Oh, 290 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's out on the street again, because they 291 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: have nobel laws in New York. Here's what he had 292 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: to say. I just got out of the subway and 293 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: I was on Bowway and Prince heading to work, and 294 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: two guys who working balking towards me. A fair guy 295 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: showed up out of nowhere and just sucker punches. Wanted 296 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: to see the guy and punches him decided the face 297 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: and the guy that punched him in the face was 298 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: walking towards me, and I kept my eye on him 299 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: to make sure. Obviously he doesn't try anything on me, 300 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: so he passed me. I checked up on the guy 301 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: that he just punched, and I was like, yo, you okay. 302 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: He's like no, I'm not okay. That's like all right, 303 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: call the cops. And then out of nowhere, two guys 304 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: just rolled up and was like, yo you okay. He's 305 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: like yeah, that guy's been punching people down Broadway, punch 306 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: a couple of people. He's like, oh word. He's like, yo, 307 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: we got to take him out. I'm like all right, 308 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm down. And thankfully this guy got arrested. But here's 309 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: the problem you have to cover of the New York 310 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: Post today meat shop meet a shoplifter with a hundred 311 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: and one arrests and was let go almost every single 312 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: solitary time. This is New York City. I mean then, 313 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: just like San Francisco and other big cities, as long 314 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: as you don't rob a thousand dollars worth of merchandise, 315 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna let you go free. I mean, how do 316 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: you let a guy out one hundred and one times 317 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: and he just keeps doing it again and again and again. Now, 318 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: the one good thing is Florida Governor Rondo Santos suspended 319 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: another George Soros back progressive prosecutor for failing to enforce 320 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: state laws. I mean, first we have the recall of 321 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: the prosecutor out in San Francisco, which shocked everybody, even 322 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: they're fed up with it out there anyway. Ron de 323 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Santa said that the Hillsbury County State Attorney Andrew Warren, 324 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: who oversees the Tampa area, would be removed from his 325 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: post immediately, and he said he would ultimately seek his dismissal. 326 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: He said it yesterday at a press conference, arguing Warren, 327 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: a Democrat, publicly put himself above the law while frustrating 328 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: local deputies and citizens with their soft on crime approach, 329 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: and the Santa said Warren directed his office to let 330 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: serious Offenses slide and that prosecutors had vowed not to 331 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: enforce any current or future laws regarding you know, abortion 332 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: or any gender assignment surgery for kids. So he's saying 333 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: he's not going to uphold the law. So at least 334 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: there's one governor that's saying, you know what, Nah, you're 335 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: not going to get away with this. It's not going 336 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: to happen. So hopefully this is the beginning of people 337 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: paying an attention to the local DA races because it 338 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: just better happened. I mean, just look at the average weekend. 339 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: You know, I could make a prediction. I won't make 340 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: it because it's so dark and it's so ugly and 341 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: it's so dreary and it's so so sad that you 342 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 1: can even make it, But it's true. I could. I 343 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: could probably, I could probably estimate with a pretty high 344 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: degree of accuracy, how many people are going to get 345 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: shot in Chicago this weekend, and how many people are 346 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: going to get shot and killed in Chicago. I don't 347 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: want to make that prediction because I don't want to 348 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: be right about that prediction. I don't want anybody in 349 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: Chicago getting shot this weekend. And I can want something 350 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: but I can't. Nobody lifts a finger to do anything about. 351 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: It's why we've scrolled the names. You never hear the 352 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 1: names of these people shot and shot and killed in 353 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: Chicago or any other big city. It's unbelievable. Anyway, eight 354 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: hundred nine for one, Shawn our number. If you want 355 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, Pennsylvania, Bill, You're 356 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: on the Sean Hannity Show. What's going on? Sir? How 357 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: are you doing? Thanks for taking a call. What's happening? 358 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: The last night? I was listening to your interview with 359 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: doctor Oz and that's why I called in because I 360 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: don't think people understand who his opponents settlement is. You know, 361 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: he may be the lieutenant governor, but you know, for 362 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: fourteen years he was the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania. And 363 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: that was from two thousand and five until two thousand 364 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: and nineteen. The majority of Pennsylvanians probably don't know much 365 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: about Braddock. I've lived in Pittsburgh my whole life. I'm 366 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: sixty six. Braddock the epitome of a dilapidated rundown rust 367 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: belt town. There's more boarded up storefronts along the main 368 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: drag than there are viable businesses. So and it's been 369 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: in decline for years. When he was in office as mayor. 370 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, he lost forty one percent of the population there. 371 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: The schools are in the bottom fifth of the school 372 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: district in Pennsylvania. That algebra and eleventh grade or only 373 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: thirty seven percent. The kids are proficient biology forty six 374 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: in picture only twenty six point seven. And this guy 375 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: to Woodland Hills School District. I don't want this guy 376 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: as my senator, one of the one hundred most powerful 377 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: people in the country. And my frustration is with doctor Oz. 378 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I heard some of the things he said last last 379 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: night on your show, and I just he needs to 380 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: take He needs to get this personal now. He needs 381 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: to go local. If all politics are local, he needs 382 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: to go down to Braddock and offer some solutions to 383 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: these rust belt towns and point out to people in 384 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania exactly where Fetterman came from and what he didn't 385 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: do while he was mayor for fourteen years. Well, listen, 386 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a special pleader for Oz. 387 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: I hope he wins this race. I think it'd be 388 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: a great senator. I know he's a conservative because I've 389 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: known him for a long time. But you know, in 390 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: fairness to him, he's been traveling the state like a madman. 391 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: You know, I think he said yesterday, did what one 392 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven stops already? I mean, he's all 393 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: over the place now, has only been seen once. He's 394 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: running a Joe Biden basement campaign, and he's getting money 395 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: from out of Pennsylvania. And the only thing he'd say 396 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: is doctor Oz dozen't at Pennsylvania roots, which in fact 397 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: he does have. So I mean, but you gotta then 398 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: look at the policy. He says, a trust fund rat. 399 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: You're right, he was a horrible mayor. Murders are up 400 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: sixty percent in cities all throughout Pennsylvania because he as 401 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: he's lieutenant governor. This guy wants to release a third 402 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: of all people in jail. This guy thinks that biologically 403 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: born men should be able to compete in women's sports. 404 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: He's to the left of Bernie Sanders. He's a Green 405 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: New Deal, radical socialist Democrat. He wants no energy, domestic 406 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: energy production, especially in Pennsylvania. What else do you guys 407 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: want to know about Federman? Because if you vote for 408 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: this guy, and we don't even know what the impact 409 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: of his stroke was because nobody's seen the guy. He's 410 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: playing Biden's he's playing Biden's games plan high in the basement, 411 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I don't know whether Oz goes 412 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: down with a videographer and you know it doesn't ad 413 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: and puts out out. You've got to do something that 414 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: shows the people what Braddock is and what involvement Federman 415 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: had there for a lot. That's a great idea, and 416 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: hopefully somebody in his campaign here's this, and I think 417 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: it's a smart idea. Look, the important thing is you 418 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: have the biggest contrast election for the Senate in the 419 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: entire country. In Pennsylvania. You've got a Bernie Sanders, radical 420 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: leftist and who's frankly lazy and he's been nothing about 421 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: a trust fund brat his whole life. Even though he 422 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: acts like a street kid because he wears a hoodie 423 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: everywhere he goes, he's not. He's lazy and he's done. 424 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: There's not a single thing you can point to, including 425 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: being mayor or lieutenant governor, where he's been successful. So 426 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: the question now is going to be for the people 427 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. And then the challenge for Oz is to 428 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: get people to understand who Feederman is. If you like 429 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders and the Biden Bernie Sanders manifesto, 430 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: then vote for Fetterman. If you believe in law and order, 431 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 1: if you believe in energy independence, if, by the way, 432 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: he's also a sanctuary state guy, a sanctuary city guy, Fetterman, 433 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: if you believe in open borders, you know, then go 434 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: vote for the liberal socialist. Go ahead, good luck with that. 435 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: It's not going to work out for the people of Pennsylvania. 436 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: I think Fetterman's out of touch with the rank and file, 437 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's going to lift a finger 438 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: to bring back law and order. He's going to release 439 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: a third of all people in jail, and I can't 440 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: I actually can't think of a worse guy in the 441 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: US Senate than him. So hopefully that message comes out. 442 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: Is still early, it's August fifth. You know, people historically 443 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: start paying attention in mid terms or elections right after 444 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: Labor Day, and I'm sure that will be the case 445 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. And if he doesn't show up at debates, 446 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: I think that'll speak volumes about maybe what where his 447 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: health is, as well as everything else. No, I totally agree. 448 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: I think one sentences whole thing. Would anybody in Pennsylvania 449 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: move to Braddock, Pennsylvania? And I would say the answers 450 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: that I is no, and that's where this guy was 451 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: mayor you don't want to live in Braddock, Pennsylvania. All. 452 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Thanks for the update. Quick break. 453 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: We'll come right back eight hundred nine for one sean 454 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 455 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Right back to our busy phones. Frank is in Delaware. 456 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: What's up, Frank? How are you glad you called? Happy Friday? Sir? 457 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: How you doing? Their? Starvarts honor to speak with you? 458 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: Honor is allmine? What's going on? I'm just wanted to 459 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm a small business owner. I live in Delaware, but 460 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I run three states and I just wanted to call 461 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: up and talk about where we're at in an economy, 462 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: especially in the security industry. I owned two companies, and 463 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 1: you know, we used to feel up the time for 464 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: per truck for about forty two forty five bucks, and 465 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: now it's up to one hundred and eighteen. So you 466 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: can understand two three times a week, we're looking at 467 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred to one thousand more per month per fuel. 468 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: That's by the way, it's unbelievable. I filled up my 469 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: car last weekend and I paid what I pay one 470 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: hundred and six dollars to fill up my car. And 471 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: I'm like, I cannot believe. I used to pay forty 472 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: forty five fifty, you know, And I'm like, I cannot believe. 473 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: And it irritates the hell out of me. But if 474 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: you're in business now, you got to let yourself a 475 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: big problem. Can you pass those costs, all of them 476 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: onto your customers? I tend to doubt it, definitely not. 477 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: You can't pass all of it on. You can try 478 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: and raise your rate a little bit, but you know, 479 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: at an extra hour here or there. But it's not good. 480 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: And also along with the security industry, we have such 481 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: a problem getting equipment. We've been very hard pressed to 482 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: get fire alarm equipment for months. So with the chip shortage, 483 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: so it's really disastrous. We're just hoping stuff doesn't break. 484 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: But also one other thing too is that, uh, I 485 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: take off video. I'm a big video guy. I take 486 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: off video for the police department. So many people doing 487 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: robberies and different things, and they in South Jersey, they 488 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: just take them in, take a report, and don't even 489 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: don't even take them to jail. They just put them 490 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: out and they have a court a court date. It's ridiculous. 491 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: It's absolutely ridiculous. You know, it's all. Let me tell 492 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: you something. It's insane. It is insane. And uh, look, 493 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: are you able to make a living? Are you surviving? 494 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: Or are you going underwater?

I have much 504 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: to tell you. And if I've been trying for over 505 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: a year to get on with you for verious different things, 506 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: it actually took me three days to get on with you. Now, 507 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 1: we'll let me ask you this. So you did private 508 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: security for him when he was vice president? Yes, Yes, 509 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: I worked for a company I handled this account. The 510 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: stories I could tell you are shocking. Okay, market needs 511 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: to hear it.

Wow, are you talking about illegal activity? 516 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: All kinds of stuff? You have no idea, all kinds 517 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: of stuff. Let me ask you this cognitively. You see, 518 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: you see Joe Biden. Now compare him to the person 519 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: you knew back then? Is he the same person now? 520 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely not? Absolutely not? And I haven't you know when 521 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: when him and Obama got elected. I got out shortly 522 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: after that because they changed the rules a little bit. 523 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: They wanted you to be a homeland security contractor and 524 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: that basically I mean, drop your Jews and show them 525 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: all your financials and very difficult to operate under that situation. 526 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: So um we gave them up. But uh, well, we'd 527 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: love to hear your story. I'm gonna put you on 528 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: hold and hopefully, you know, maybe we'll put you on 529 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: TV and you can tell the whole world. We'll vet 530 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: it all out and we appreciate you being willing to 531 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: share with us. I mean, there's so much about this 532 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: family that if if Americans care to pay attention, if 533 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: his last name was Trump would be such a different story. 534 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: That's the saddest part about where we are today. You 535 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: know the dual system of justice. You know one set 536 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: of rules if you're liberal and you're a Democrat, but 537 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: if you're a conservative, forget it. I mean, we don't 538 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: have equal justice or equal application of our laws. That 539 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: means we don't act as a constitutional republic. It's scary.
