1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: To Sean Hannity Show. Eight hundred and nine to one, 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Shawn is a number you want to be a part 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: of the program. We welcome to the program. Welcome back 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: to the program. Our friend Brett Barr. He's the host 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: of Special Report on the Fox News Channel. And by 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: the way, he's written an amazing new book. It's called 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: to Rescue the American Spirit Teddy Roosevelt, The Birth of 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: a Superpower. I think there is a lot of relevancy 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: and a lot of similarities to what we are seeing 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: unfold in terms of the re emergence of American strength 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: on the world stage now under President Trump. But Brett 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Bhar always a pleasure to have you back, sir. 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: How are you hey, Sean? It is a crazy time. 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me back. 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: I think I'm more often a guest with you, though. 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I like when you're hosting election nights. I 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: get to go on and give my commentary. And I 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: think the last election, I think everybody on that panel, 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: there might have been twelve people on that panel. We're 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: looking at me like, Okay, he's really over his skis. 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: And I even said, well, if I'm wrong, you can 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: print Hannity's wrong. T shirts, and I laid out what 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: was going to happen the rest of election night about 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: nine thirty in the evening, and I said, at this point, 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris to win the race, she's gonna lose 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: North Carolina Georgia, which you called shortly thereafter, and she 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: had no chance in Arizona, and she would likely lose Nevada, 28 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: which meant she would have to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin. 29 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: And then I explained why she was she had a 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: math problem because her numbers were weighed down from where 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had been four years earlier. I think everybody 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: on that panel, I don't know about you. I don't 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: know what you would think. And you kind of was 34 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Stoic was looking at me like he's nuts. 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: He's got the roadmap. Bill Hammer and I were like 36 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: trying to keep up. But it turned out everything that 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: you said early on nine thirty, I think it might 38 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: have been before nine thirty, it turned out to be right, 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: you know, only within within an hour a hour and 40 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: a half. 41 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, it was an amazing night in the historic night. 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: And and this is what we live for in this business, 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, those nights that are big news nights. 44 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: You love it. I love it, you know, traveling with 45 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: the President of the United States, interviewing presidents and vice 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: presidents and secretaries of States and foreign leaders. You know, 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: to me, it's it's an honor to be able to 48 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: do all of it. And and we both have had, 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, successful careers, and it's it's a lot of fun. 50 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: And I'm honored that people give us that opportunity every. 51 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: Night one percent. And those elections are like our super Bowl, 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: and those big moments when you're traveling with the president 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: or interviewing a president is there's nothing like that. You know, 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt gives the speech in Paris that eventually becomes 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: known as the Man in the Arena, And you could say, 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: in this job, you're in the arena. You're covering stuff 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: that is historic and moving the needle and actual a 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: lot of people. So you know Teddy Roosevelt's words, it's 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: not the critic who counts. Not the man who points 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: out to the strong man stumbles or where the doer 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to 62 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: the man who is actually in the arena. And he 63 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: goes on and it's one of his most famous speeches. 64 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: I want to get to your book in a second. 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: I would argue, in the last presidential cycle, you had 66 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the most consequential interview of anybody. And that's when Kamala 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Harris agreed to sit down with you. And if I'm 68 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm mistaken, tell me he was supposed to be there 69 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. Your show's on at 70 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: six eastern and she was supposed to show up at 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: five point fifteen. Am I wrong about that? 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? So what happened was she wanted to do a 73 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: pre tape and her event was going to end at 74 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: four thirty, and I said, we will be ready at 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: four thirty, but we have to be done by five 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: point fifteen because we have to cueue the tape up 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: and we were planning on doing half an hour and 78 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: we had to run it at the top of six, 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: so at the last possibility, we have to start taping 80 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: at five point fifteen. And she finished her event at 81 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: four twenty. She went to a holding room right outside 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: our interview was set up, and we didn't hear from her. 83 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: And so it was four point thirty and four forty 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: four forty five four fifty five o'clock, five oh five. 85 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: Now my producers are pacing, people are pulling their hair out. 86 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: Five ten. Again, the cutoff is five fifteen. The Vice 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: president walked out of that door at five fourteen thirty 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: and walked to the seat and sat down and I said, 89 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: mad and Vice President, it was an interesting event outside, 90 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: thank you for being here. And she looked at me 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: and said you ready. And that's the two words she 92 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: said when we started the interview. 93 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: So what's fascinating about it? She had done very few 94 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: real interviews, I would argue up to that point, maybe none, 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: And I thought it was it was a consequential moment. 96 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: And and that's a tough position, I think for you 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to be in, because I'm on the opinion side of 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: Fox News. You're on the news side of Fox News, 99 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: and there is a delineation and people sometimes don't understand that. 100 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: But I think I have a lot more flexibility, which 101 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: I prefer. I think your job is a little bit 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: harder in that respect. But there were so many unanswered 103 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: questions that that had had been hanging out there, and 104 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: you had a very small window to get them in, 105 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: and that it made that interview that much harder. And 106 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I give you a lot of credit in that interview 107 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: because you did press her and when she tried to filibuster, 108 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, you understood the time was short and you 109 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: really needed to get some questions in here. 110 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it is a balance, and you 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: know you can follow up up again and again, and 112 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: you know my rule is three times and the audience 113 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: knows she's not answering the question. But there were a 114 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 2: couple of times where she stopped and said, Brett, you 115 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, and I said, matter if 116 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: I president, No, I. 117 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: Don't, not really. And you know, I don't think anyone 118 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: still ever got an answer to the question, do you 119 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: still support taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals and 120 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: for convicts. I don't think anyone ever got that question, in. 121 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 2: Which arguably was the most effective commercial that ran during 122 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: football games in the NFL. Leaving up it was huge. Yeah, well, 123 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: well it's coming to fight, I think, and she wanted 124 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: that fight. And believe it or not, when we wrapped up, 125 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: and there was a hard wrap by their people, you know, 126 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: saying you've got to finish, which is why we I 127 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: was going to say at the end, if you win, 128 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: how can you bring the country together? I could never 129 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: get there because they were wrapping me so hard. But 130 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: at the end, her people said, that's what we wanted. 131 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: We wanted it to be tough, we wanted her to 132 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 2: push back. I just didn't think that that was the 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: best look in the in the interview itself. 134 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: And I think, what did they cut it down to 135 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: that eighteen minutes instead of a half hour, you weren't 136 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: able to go the time that it had been promised. 137 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: An allocator for you, if I recall. So, I've been 138 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: reading your book and I'm fascinated by Teddy Roosevelt, and 139 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated like you are, by history, and it's it's 140 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: kind of amazing. I was amazed at the parallels of 141 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt's time in the birth of a superpower, and 142 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: I felt America in terms of its stature in the 143 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: world declined dramatically. Again, this is my opinion during Biden, 144 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: especially the disastrous pull out in Afghanistan. And I think 145 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: that President Trump has reasserted American leadership and dominance and 146 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: strength as a superpower since he's gotten back into office 147 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: in a way that I don't think anybody anticipated. Or imagined. 148 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: You know, the Iranian nuclear strike would be an example, 149 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, working so hard to get peace in the 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Middle East and the release of the hostages. I saw 151 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: China today had had bought into not exactly a boycott, 152 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: but they're pulling back on the purchasing of Russian oil 153 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: because of the terriff issue that's now associated with it, 154 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: which is Trump exerting, you know, economic strength of the US. 155 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: But I saw a lot of parallels between Teddy Roosevelt 156 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: and President Trump and what he's doing. Now do you 157 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: see those parallels and how would you describe them? 158 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I see the direct parallels. I mean, it's not 159 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: one to wan across the board on ideology, on everything, 160 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: but it is first of all a force of personality 161 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: and a figure that's larger than lives, but one who 162 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: one wants to reach forward and be active in the world. 163 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: You know, for all of the people who say President 164 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: Trump and who's administration and America first was going to 165 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: be isolationist, it's exactly opposite of that. It is America 166 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: thinking about America, what's good for America, but also being 167 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: forceful in the world. And you look at how some 168 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: of these leaders are reacting to President Trump. You know 169 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: the Gulf States, how that first trip, you know, they 170 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: all put out the red carpet in a way that 171 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: they had never done before. And now we're integral in 172 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: making the ceasefire work and hopefully hold between Israel and Hamas. So, 173 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: you know, Roosevelt, this book kind of is centered on 174 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: his legacy to position the United States as this world power, 175 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: and his most significant one of them was brokering this 176 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: peace deal between Russia and Japan, and he arranges for 177 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: the two sides to hold a peace conference in Portsmouth, 178 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: New Hampshire, and he really works behind the scenes, as 179 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: President Trump did in a lot of these different peace 180 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: negotiations that he's done. He works behind the scenes to 181 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: kind of reach an agreement, and Roosevelt the result of 182 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: that is a Nobel pros He later, when Japan gets 183 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: a little ornery and things are strained, he comes up 184 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: with the idea to show American force and ships of 185 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: the American fleet all painted white from battleship Gray and 186 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: he creates the Great White Fleet, and he sails the 187 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: fleet around the world in a peaceful demonstration of kind 188 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: of American might and the reminder of its power. And promise, 189 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: and I just think that that has similarities about our 190 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: strength around the world and what the president, President Trump 191 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: is trying to do. 192 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, I think i'd be negligent because 193 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much history in this book, which 194 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: is pretty amazing, and I urge people to get a 195 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: copy of it. And it's called to Rescue the American 196 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: Spirit Teddy Roosevelt, The Birth of a Superpower. It's on 197 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country. 198 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: I often criticize the media. I think the media generally speaking, 199 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: I've made the argument that I believe legacy media is dead. 200 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: I think it died in this election. I think Donald 201 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: Trump has forever tattooed the words fake and news into 202 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: the forehead of CNNMSDNC and the three major networks. I 203 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: think people are more skeptical than ever before. Do you 204 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: have an assessment of where they've gone wrong? I thought 205 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: it was interesting Barry Weiss asking the sixty Minutes team, 206 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: why does the country think you're all biased? That's an 207 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: interesting question because most people I know believe they're very biased. 208 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and clearly the Paramount Purchase is interested in finding 209 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: more balance and an effort to get back to some 210 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: semblance of coverage that's there. Listen, We've talked about this, Sean, 211 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: you and I and you know, I'm not where you 212 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: are as far as giving up. I think that there 213 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: are still some good reporters out there and some good folks. 214 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: But I do think that President Trump in the first 215 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: term and the second term broke the minds of some 216 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: reporters that were normal, straight down the middle guys and women, 217 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 2: and the emotion that came with their pushback became Trump 218 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: derangement syndrome, and it showed in almost every story that 219 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: they did. And so then we got years of Russia, Russia, Russia, 220 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: and to your credit, you, you know, you really pushed 221 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: back with substance and were one of the leading people 222 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: on you know, pushing back on all the narratives. Eventually 223 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: it all came much like your election night predictions came 224 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: to be, and you know, the coverage of that was 225 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: not to be seen around the country. So I think 226 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: people got set up and looked at a lot of 227 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: this and said I'm sick of it. Now. I will 228 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: say that six to seven Special Report, we're trying to 229 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: do all sides, and we're trying to give it. You 230 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: know that people have a sense of what's happening in 231 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: the US and around the world with some analysis at 232 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: the end. It's a different animal, you know than an 233 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: opinion show. But I think it's one of the only 234 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: places left that is kind of trying to do it. 235 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I think it's it. I don't see 236 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: it anywhere else. I just don't, which is a credit 237 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: to you and Fox in my view. Yeah, anyway, the 238 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: book is great. A lot of kudos to you. I 239 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: urge everybody to get a copy of it. To rescue 240 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: the American Spirit, Teddie Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower. 241 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: We have a link on Hannity dot com or you 242 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: can go to Amazon dot com or bookstores now all 243 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: across the country.

What's crossing the plane? 257 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: That is when you take your football and it goes 258 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 3: past the pylons into the goal line and you get 259 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 3: a touchdown. 260 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: It's only taking you nearly a decade to get it 261 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: mostly right. 262 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: Listen, all right, I'm standing by my field goal equaling one, 263 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: two or three. We had a coach come in. 264 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: The field goal does not equal one to two or three. 265 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: The field goals is three points. 266 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: Depends on the situation. 267 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: No, okay, there's no situation in NFL football or college football. 268 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: We're a field goal our football. 269 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: I'm not doing anything with NFL. And they're bad bunny bs. 270 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 3: They can stick it up there you know where I'm not. 271 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: You know they're talking about having an alternative. 272 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: They're not talking about it. They're having it. 273 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Oh, it's real going to happen. John Rich and a 274 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: bunch of other people are getting together and John. 275 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: Rasa gets in on it too.

Nothing. 280 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: Well, that's what you need to learn to speak Spanish 281 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: one then he can communicate with you. He's an idiot 282 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: a studio Espanol on a squoiler like, well, you did 283 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: pretty good there. I'm glad you can speak a little 284 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: bit after studying in school for three years. But at 285 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: the end of the day, we don't. 286 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: We don't. 287 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: We don't need to all speak English. 288 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Those todays I can do that, I can count. 289 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: And then that idiot Roger Goodell saying, oh I'm not 290 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: I'm not removing bad bunny, blah blah. Shut up. It's 291 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: such utter not. 292 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: They don't care apparently the guy. They're woke. 293 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 3: So it's an either end zone. But you can't wear 294 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: a cancer or an American flag on your helmet. You 295 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: can't wear anything positive on your body. But you can 296 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: put like, you know, whatever their unity signs or they 297 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: have five slogans and they have to be in the 298 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: end zone of every single team in the NFL. It's 299 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: utter nonsense. 300 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: So let me tell you what's happening with sports betting 301 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: and betting in general. So I have a friend of mine, 302 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and this guy's brilliant and he's great at what he does. 303 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: He's an addiction specialist and he helps people all kinds 304 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: of addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction. You know, he 305 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: runs the Gambit and we had a conversation about gambling addiction. 306 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: And now the sports betting world and betting online has 307 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: now made it possible that basically anybody that wants to 308 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: bet can bet twenty four to seven, and it's become 309 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: a real problem. He said. The dopamine hit that betters 310 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: get is so powerful you can't overcome it. And he's 311 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: describing the most heart wrenching scenarios of case. He doesn't 312 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: tell me who, obviously, he said, Sean, they're people committing 313 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: suicide because they're in debt up to their eyeballs and 314 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: they don't see any other way out. He said that, 315 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, you have successful people, financially successful that blow 316 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: up their lives and they spend every dollar and they 317 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: lose their family home and their cars are being repossessed, 318 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: and they literally are in debt now up to their 319 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: eyeballs and they don't like there's nothing he can do 320 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: for them except tell them, you know, try and get 321 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: them to, you know, stop. And he said that in 322 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: and of itself, is hard to do. He said, it's 323 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: easier to treat This is what he said to me 324 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: that really stood out to me. It's easier to treat alcohol, 325 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: holism and drug addiction then people that are that are 326 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: addicted to gambling. Can you imagine that that's that's how pervasive. 327 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 3: Listen, it's very scary. But you know, there is such 328 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: a thing as free will, and if people want to 329 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 3: go and it's all. 330 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: About free will, at the end of the day, you're 331 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to make a decision. You don't want any 332 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: more pain in your life, and you're just gonna have 333 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: to give up the dopamine hit that you get when 334 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: you know in the charge you get when you're you're 335 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: you're betting and looking for an outcome, and you know, 336 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: and you're waiting for that field goal to be kicked 337 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: for three points, not two, not one, but three at 338 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: the end of the game, and and everything's writing on it. 339 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,239 Speaker 1: And if you hit it, you're in happy land.

Now, 342 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: these companies are not stupid either, because they will have 343 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: a profile on every one of their customers, and they 344 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: build out these algorithms and they can literally fine tune 345 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: exactly the type of thing you're going to be most 346 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: interested in betting on, and they will they will right you, 347 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: and they will incentivize you to bet if you haven't 348 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: bet in a while. And it's like wow. Anyway, Cash 349 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: Pattel detailed massive sports rigging, a sports rigging operation with 350 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: ties to the mafia that led to the arrest of 351 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: an NBA player and a coach, The Portland Trailblazer coach 352 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: Chauncey Billups his name and Miami Heat guard what's his name, 353 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: Terry Rosier arrested and charged in connection to this illegal 354 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: game gambling schemes. UH. In the case of this this 355 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: Miami heat guard, his case related to suspicious betting activity 356 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: during a game. I mean these you can bet on 357 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: whether or not a pitch is going to be a 358 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: ball or strength. We had the case of this one 359 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: pitcher that so much money was waged on two specific 360 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: pitches that he threw in the dirt in one case, uh, 361 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: and that they they literally can can fine tune whether 362 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: or not that that bet was way out of line 363 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: with normal and whether or not there's some type of 364 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: collusion anyway, one FBI agent saying the FBI supervisor agent, 365 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, marveling at the apparent resurgence of the American mafia. 366 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: Fox News covered this today. Interestingly, ESPN blew off this 367 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: massive FBI presser on NBA gambling indictments. All other major 368 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: cable news that networks aired it because if you can't 369 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: watch a sporting event today without you know, reading about 370 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: the odds and watching ads for sports betting apps, I 371 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, I might like hit around and say to 372 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: Clay Travis, all right, I'll bet you five hundred bucks 373 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: that this team is gonna win this. By the way, 374 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: every bet I've ever had with Clay Travis, I've won 375 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: everyone I've never asked to collect. But he like, he 376 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: can't believe it because he's way more into you know, 377 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: that world than I am. I mean, I look at 378 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: the stuff they Portnoid does. I'm like, my gosh, he 379 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: bet like a million dollars on some stuff. I mean, 380 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: but he's also got them as advertisers. I'm sure he 381 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: gets I'm sure he gets a lot of consideration there, 382 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: but put it off on the side. This has the 383 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: potential of ruining potential sports. But it's even bigger than that. 384 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: It is the potential to ruin lives. That part scares 385 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: me because people aren't They're not going to be able 386 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: to stop.

It's round, it's orange, has a lot 400 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: of black stripes. Katie and and Jason argue about it and. 401 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: How many how many points do you get for three 402 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: free throw?

I don't know. 407 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: I know how many points if you, let's say, if 408 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: you do a layup, how many points do you get? 409 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: No idea, don't help her. 410 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 3: I don't even know what a layup is. I don't know. 411 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 3: I'm not kidding, it's not you know. What I liked 412 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: I watched the Kobe Bryant documentary about his life. That's 413 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: interesting to. 414 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: Me that I like that was that was the most 415 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: preventable helicopter. 416 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: And the fact that his little girl was with him broke. 417 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: My heart heartbreaking. Well, seeing him and helicopter was grounded. 418 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: It was amazing. 419 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: And he had a helicopter that required that is made 420 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: for two pilots, not one, but he was flying just one. 421 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: Uh. 422 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: They requested even though every every police helicopter was grounded, 423 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: they requested it what's called a vision flight, meaning where 424 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: they can see and they wouldn't go above that altitude. 425 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: And sure enough, they ran into all the cloud cover 426 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: which grounded all the other helicopters and they didn't see 427 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: it coming. It's so sad. It was John in my 428 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: free state of Florida, what's up, John? How are you? 429 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call. You know, I'm a New 430 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 5: Jersey transplant from sadur River living in Naples, and I 431 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: have to tell you a couple of things. Number One, 432 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: when we look at Mickey Cheryl, we understand that she 433 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 5: could fly a plane and she hates Trump. What else 434 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 5: is she going to do for New Jersey? 435 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to know why she doesn't know 436 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: how she made seven million dollars. I'd like to know 437 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: why she gives conflicting answers on why she was not 438 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: allowed to walk with her graduating class and why she's 439 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: not in the yearbook of her graduating class at the 440 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: Naval Academy because she keeps saying something different every single time. 441 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: I want to know why she won't take a pledge 442 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: not to raise taxes on New Jersey when it's one 443 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: of the highest tax states in the country. 444 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 5: That's true. I mean, if you think about it, you know, 445 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 5: Democrats never met a tax that they didn't like. Let's 446 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: and let's face it. You know, at the end of 447 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: the day, she voted against the salt deduction that they've 448 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: been talking about for forty five years now, and she 449 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 5: voted against the banning boys from playing women's sports. So 450 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 5: at the end of the day, these are facts. They're 451 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 5: not my facts, they're the facts. 452 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: So well, New Jersey, this may be their last opportunity. 453 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: This may be it because the damage will be so great. 454 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ever going to be able 455 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: to come back. You'll be New York two point zero. 456 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: You're you're right there now, But at least New Jersey. 457 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: The polls show this is a winnable race for Jack Chitterelli. Now, 458 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: I made a mistake in the last election cycle. The 459 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: polls never showed it was going to be close. If 460 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: it did, I would have paid more attention. And then 461 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: Jack Chittarelli only by three points. And if I had 462 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: known that, I would have paid attention. I'm not making 463 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: the same mistake twice. Now that Matt Towry and Robert 464 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: Caahley pulled New Jersey and showed to one point race, 465 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: that means if you are a voter in New Jersey, 466 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: you can stop the madness and reverse course. Now this 467 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: may be your last shot. Now I'm gonna go above 468 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: and beyond for the state of New Jersey. I'm gonna 469 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: have an announcement next week about what I'm going to do. 470 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: How do you like that? 471 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: That's great, and I'm gonna go one step further. I 472 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 5: think we're going to see New Jersey flipbread and New 473 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 5: York is gonna flip bread after governor, it's about time 474 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: and let the adults. 475 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: Well. 476 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: If New Jersey doesn't flip, I would say the odds 477 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: go down exponentially in New York. Hey, New Jersey has 478 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: to go first. This is New Jersey's opportunity. Understand, if 479 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: you're in New Jersey and you're hearing my voice, go 480 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: out and vote, because this is gonna be This race 481 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: is going to be won by twenty thousand votes. Smack. 482 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: That's how close this race is going to be. Okay, 483 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: you got a shot. This is your shot. I'm not 484 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: saying it can I'm saying it can happen, but it's 485 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: going to take all of you taking it seriously and 486 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: look at it as your last opportunity to save that 487 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: pathetic state because it's pretty pathetic.

It's a clear choice between a communist 503 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 4: and law and order, Curtis Sliwa, that's. 504 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: What we need you. 505 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: No, you're you're asking a great question. I mean, you know, 506 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: all of a sudden with you know, early voting starting 507 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: this weekend. Now everyone hit the panic button this week. 508 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean you should have hit the panic button after 509 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: Zoron you know, uh COMMI Marxist Bondani won the primary. 510 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: That's when, that's when it was time to hit the 511 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: panic button. And when I guess, I guess CMO was 512 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: on with Sid in the morning, and and you know 513 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: said and Sid as well, why don't you approach Curtis 514 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: and and make a plan and kind of team up together. 515 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: I never thought of that. Oh okay, well, that's your fault. 516 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: That's on you because you're you're the master politician. But 517 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, look, I think they got in a lot 518 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: of blows last night against Mamdani. It was interesting to 519 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: watch them sweat, but I don't think they had a 520 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: knockout blow that's going to be a race changer. I 521 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: didn't see it. I think this race is Ma'm Donnie's 522 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: to lose by far. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm 523 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: realistic and I'm not going to be Pollyannish and lie 524 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: to my audience. I refuse. I just hope. 525 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 4: Beautiful down here, but I love New York. I don't 526 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 4: want to see it go down the toilet. And I 527 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 4: was a cop for twenty one years up there. My 528 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 4: daughter's a cop there now, and I'm just praying for 529 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 4: Curtis to get in. 530 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 5: Well. 531 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: I hope for the safety and security of my friends 532 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: that remain in New York that that's the case. Although 533 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: I got to tell you, with very few exceptions, everybody 534 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: I know is leaving New York when they can.

Look we're barreling 540 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: towards the longest government shutdown in history. You know what 541 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: for a lot of families now, it's a lot of 542 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: financial anxiety. Democrats won't even pay our military for crying 543 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: out loud.
