<v Speaker 1>All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man that can only mean

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 1>one thing. Ah on this radio program that means whole things.

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Self proclaimed simple man that means all things. Bill O'Reilly

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>old things, Bill O'Reilly a billoreilly dot com. Of course,

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Bill with his new, next, latest, greatest, number one New

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 1>York Times bestselling book, Confronting Evil Assessing the Worst of

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the Worst. Mister O'Reilly, sir, how are you I know

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>this is the highlight of your week?

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know. I was watching your TV share last night.

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Somebody forced me to do that. They broke into my

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>house with an ak annity. I said, okay, and you

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>were doing Why can't.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>You just say, Hanna do you do a really good show?

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>And I'm really proud of you and I love watching

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>your show every night.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Why do you have to lie?

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Because that would be boring.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 3>I gotta you know, fair answer. That's fair, that's a

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 3>good answer. Actually, you're doing.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>A story about these conresspeople who put out a social

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>media thing telling us forces that they don't have to

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>obey certain orders that are illegal.

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, we were starting on the same page.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Good Rather than talk about it, it's only fifty two seconds.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Let me play it.

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Democratic lawmakers pushing for our military to disobey orders, our

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>intel community to portray our country and our commander in chief.

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's play. These people want to speak directly to

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>members of the military.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 4>And the intelligence community to take risks each day keep

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 4>pressure right now. Americans trust their military, but that trust

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 4>is at risk.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>This administration is pitting our uniform military.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 4>And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 5>Like us. You all swore an oath.

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 4>To protect and of then this constitution.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>from a.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Broad but from right here at home.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Our laws are clear.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders.

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.559
<v Speaker 4>out orders that violate the law or our constitution.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>We know this is hard and that it's a difficult

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>time to be a public.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Servant, but whether you're serving in the CIA, the.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Army, or Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 4>And know that we have your back.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Bill, We're talking about US senators in this and

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>what they are saying basically is you can disobey illegal orders.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>They failed to identify any such illegal order or what

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they deemed to be such. To me, this is a

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>flagrant attempt to undermine the president's role, his constitutional authority

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>as commander in chief. Frankly, I view it as an

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>act of subversion against our country, and it almost sounds

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>like they are calling for a military coup to me,

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that's my impression hearing that, especially because they gave no

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.119
<v Speaker 1>specific example.

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I don't swear about these people, with the

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>exception of Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona. He was

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>very surprised to see him in that next the other's,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, this slatkin from Michigan, and the other's a

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>very fire raft Trump haters. So I don't care about that.

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>But what I do care about is you have a

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>structure in this country whereby the courts decide what is

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>legal and illegal, not individual people, which is what all

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of these senators and congress people are saying. They're like,

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't like it, if you think it's illegal, you

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>can't do it. That's a lie. I mean, if you

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 2>walk down the street and say, hey, you know, I

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>don't really like this law. So I'm going to break

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>this guy's jaw, which you're going to go to jail

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>if you like the assault law. Not So, these people

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>are basically calling for anarchy among the American military and

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>people who are working in the intel services. So now

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 2>here's my beef. The Republicans control both the Senate and

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>the House. These people should be referred today to the

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>ethics committees in both bodies. Republican leadership. I'm getting a

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>little tired of hearing conservative Republicans' wine about injustice. We

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>all know that's there and it's true, and that Trump

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 2>hatred has really damaged this country. But there are actions

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>that you can take to tamp it down. So where's

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Johnson and Thune? Shouldn't they I have that press conference

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>today about this, shouldn't I think.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>They probably should. I think this needs to be dealt

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>with head on. And it's kind of bizarre because I

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>would have thought that this is front page news everywhere.

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I picked up on this yesterday and got a hold

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of this, and I was stunned that nobody else was

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>covering it, at least nobody that I know of. Maybe

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 1>you did on your show. I have no idea. If not,

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you'll cover it tonight because now it should be front

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and center, and these guys absolutely need to get all

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>over this, and I'll make sure that they are aware

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of it. I will send them the tapes myself.

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, you should invite them on a night, both fun

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and Johnson, and say what are you gonna do? What

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do? See, this is what's bothering me

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>now on the overall tenor of the United States of America. Yes,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>we're divided. That's not gonna come together anytime soon. They're

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna be divided for the next three years Donald Trump's

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 2>in office. Okay, that's just a fad of complete But

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>when you step out online and you hurt the country

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 2>to pursue your own vengeance, as these elected officials did,

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and I saw it on your TV program. I had

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>heard a little bit about it, but I didn't see

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the tape. And as soon as you ran the tape

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>last night at nine eastern, oh and hardly you know

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>why where's whether sanction is going to be against these

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>people doing this? Because you're absolutely right, subversion. You can't

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>be encouraging people to desert from the armed forces or

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to divide the military superiors is to particularly if you

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 2>are in Congress, so I'm now launching and I hope

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you pick up on it, and responsibility to her because

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans are in charge, they have the power.

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I know trub was diverted by Saudi Arabia and a

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of this other business. I understand that, but he's

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>got to get involved too as commander in chief. But

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>these senators and congress people participated in this. They got

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>to be able to account, Henny, they have to be.

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>You see, I'm worried about the overall cadence pitch tone

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of comments that are being made. I'm

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>sure you witness these anti ICE protesters in North Carolina

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>screaming at ICE agents. Now, I won't go too deep

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>into the weeds here, but we have a supremacy clause

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.119
<v Speaker 1>in our constitution. Federal laws are enforced. The jurisdiction lies

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>with the federal government. And people that didn't respect our laws, borders, sovereignty,

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>they are in the country illegally. And now we have

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>ICE agents being docked, we have ICE agents being attacked.

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>We've had ICE agents killed, we know, and this is

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>what was unfolding in Charlotte, North Carolina. Let me play

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it for you as they're just out there doing the

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 1>job that they're supposed to do. Gavin Newsom, you know,

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>signed a law in California, although it won't go into

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>effect until January first, they can't even cover their faces

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to protect themselves and their families. But of course that

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>does not apply to California Highway Patrol, which protects Gavin.

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we should protect all law enforcement. But this

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>is what ICE agents are facing now pretty much every day,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>especially in these blue cities and states. At some point,

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe this is incitement, dehumanizing, and if the American

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>people and polling is correct, we are going to see

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the culture of assassination continue to grow in this country.

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I want you to get you take on this. Listen,

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>threatening crowd. The whistles are from them, the bleeps because

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of them. But the rhetoric has been coming from all

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>of these elected officials, the JB. Pritzers of the world,

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the other Democratic leaders around the country,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the calling them nazi and Gestapo and all these other terms.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>And they're trying to do their job and basically enforce

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 1>the laws of our land. And this is what they're facing.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Bill Well in North Carolina it's Josh Stein, the governor,

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>who is the problem in that particular area. Now, these,

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>as you know, are well organized people. They're paid. These

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 2>protesters who go out and harris the federal authorities, they're paid.

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Some are and some aren't.

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some people listen to leadership that calls them

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>gestapo and they think they're doing God's will and they're

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 1>standing up for what's right, and they're not.

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Not too many of those, Henny. What this is is

0:10:54.240 --> 0:11:01.719
<v Speaker 2>organized capacities, the fanatical promo whatever green. They are very

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>well funded. They go to certain cities where they know

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 2>their operations. This one is called Charlotte's Web, and then

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>they do they get the lists of the progressive movement

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and they send out be here, I'll give you a whistle.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Be here, I'll give you a sign.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 3>But they're also have this app. It's nationwide. I don't

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 3>mean to interrupt you.

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>The app is tipping off illegals about pending raids, which

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>takes away the element of surprise and puts these law

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>enforcement officers' lives in jeopardy.

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Bill Okay, so the people that are involved with that

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 2>can be arrested and charged with impeding a federal investigation.

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And this is where past fatal and the FBI come in.

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 2>So this goes right back to what we were talking about,

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the people who went out and told the military to

0:11:54.520 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 2>defy orders. There's accountability that can happen. So you in

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>fear of the federal investigation around up of undocumented people,

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you can be charged with a crime, a federal crime.

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 2>So that should be done. That is the way you

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>combat this, not on cable TV, not on debates, not

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 2>on polarizing rhetoric. You take the action that you can take.

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Because these actions were built in so the founding fathers

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:31.239
<v Speaker 2>understood there was going to be very fierce descent in America,

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>so that they layered the justice system to prevent violent anarchy.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 2>But we're not enforcing those laws now. We're not enforcing

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>them in Congress, and we're not enforcing them in Charlotte,

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina. That is the solution to this problem.

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I would like to think that people would understand the

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>atmosphere we're living in, but I guess that's just a

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>fantasy on my part to think that people will be

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>logical and reasonable and thoughtful.

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you one example, Bill.

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I might have my disagreements with people, but

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not calling them Nazis, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, fascist, racist.

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, these words are thrown around with such regularity

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I think it has a dehumanizing effect

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.719
<v Speaker 1>and there's a level of incitement behind those words. Do

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you agree? Now, I believe in free speech, and ultimately

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you hold the people that commit crimes responsible for their actions.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But I do believe that it contributes to you.

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, But I think everybody knows that by now, So

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that argument has gotten through to any American

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 2>who pays attention that there is polarizing rhetoric that can

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 2>lead to violence, and that rhetoric is dangerous and the

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>people who traffic in it should be shunned. But it's

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 2>not against the law unless you say I want to

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>hurt Bill O'Reilly and I'm going to try to get

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>them and bring him down or kill him, then he

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>can be arrested. But if they call me Hitler or whatever,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they can do that. When I'm trying to get the

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Republican majority invested in now because it's only one more year,

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 2>they have power handling it is enforce the law, and

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're in Congress, enforce the ethics that are imposed

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 2>on everybody who goes into that body, stop ignoring it,

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 2>in force it. That would change the tenor of the

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>debate and get people's attention to how serious this is?

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, Bill.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>O'Reilly, All things simple, man, serious times we're living in,

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and then, frankly, build dangerous. These are dangerous times. This

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric has got to stop. It's just I wish I

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>could convince them, but I'm not having any luck. There

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>are lunatics on all sides, unfortunately, and they poison, you know,

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>civil society at a very high level. In my view,

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I think you're agree with me, mister O'Reilly. We appreciate

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>your time, sir. I'm now to the top of the hour.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll get right to your calls here in a second.

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank God for my friend Peter Harris's family. They build

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>healthy brands of food that nobody else is making. I

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>can now have cereal back of my diet because grainberry

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>cereal controls sugar and it's healthy and I love it

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and it tastes great. And now, of course they have

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>my favorite pasta sauce of all time, and you probably

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>have heard Linda.

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Talk about it. She doesn't say it the right way?

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 3>What is it? Linda? I say it the right way,

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 3>and Peter likes the way I say it. So it's

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 3>silver palatepasta sauce. And if you are confused about that,

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 3>you better check it out.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Because you are from Long Island, my friends, not ste Island.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 3>It is sauce.

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we're gonna stop right here and just stop get

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to the harvest. Stop right here, all right, stop, I'm

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>going to go through some callers. Just a quick question,

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>then we'll put you right back on hold. If you're

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>listening to my voice right now, don't hang up. I'm

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>just asking you one simple question. Bruce, North Carolina. Is

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it sauce or is it pasta sauce?

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 3>What is it? What is it?

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 7>It's sauce in the South.

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like.

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>You got a whole different way to say. And stay

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>on hold. We'll get back to in the second. Bruce,

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.240

<v Speaker 1>Bruce? All right, stay there, Troy Ron in New York,

<v Speaker 2>Kay Sean?

<v Speaker 8>How are you I would call it? We called it

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 8>an upstate New York sauce.

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.720

<v Speaker 1>Bruce Anthony is stay there, Michael Anthony and Rhode Island.

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 3>How do you say it? Anthony, You're not gonna like

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 3>my answer.

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm from Rhode Island.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 2>It's gravy.

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Stay right there. All right, here's the thing. It's pasta sauce.

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not sauce, but anyway, it's made with wine, ripe

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and sana Marzano and California tomatoes, rich, extra virgin olive oil,

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no added sugar, none. It's in other words, it's clean.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like if you've ever been abroad in Italy and wow,

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the food is clean.

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 3>I can.

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I can even eat pasta, not gain a pound, clean

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>natural flavor, the way pasta sauce was meant to be made.

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And anyway I made the switch. You're gonna love the Marinera,

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 1>their their vodka sauce, their pizza sauce. If you like

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to make I like thin crust, thin, thin, thin crust pizza.

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Their pizza pizza sauce is amazing and it's my favorite.

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>So when you're shopping, look for Greenberry cereal and Silver

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Palate Pasta.

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Say it Linda Pasta Sauce, Silver Palla Pasta sauce.

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Over Palate Pasta Sauce, the official sauce pasta sauce of

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the Schewan Hannity Show. Unbelievable Meones, Troy, New York, Troy,

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>how are you glad you hung in there?

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Glad you called Sewan?

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I just want to

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 5>offer a few comments on the situation. I live in

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 5>upstate New York. We're outside of Rochester, and of course

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 5>everyone's aware now of the disasters that are unfolding in

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 5>New York City with the new mayor there. But I

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 5>guess I think what a lot of people who aren't

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 5>from the area don't understand is that, uh, there's there's

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 5>a lot of conservative folks in upstate New York and

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 5>we're just as upset as everyone else is about having

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 5>a communist as our as our mayor.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you the worst part is you got

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a governor now that is going to do everything Marxist

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Kami Mumdani demands because she is scared to death like

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Schumer's scared to death like Hakeem Jeffers is scared to death.

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>You have a governor in name only ostensibly zoron Kami

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Marxist Mumdani is the governor of New York because she

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>will do everything he says.

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 5>You you hit that exactly, You're exactly right, and just

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 5>the ridiculous uh policies that you know that that were

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.359
<v Speaker 5>forced to live under. You know that, Kathy l That's

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 5>that's I guess that's what I'm getting at. It's it's

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 5>frightening to think what she's going to be doing, uh

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 5>now with uh with an ally uh in you know,

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 5>in the mayor's office in the Big Apple.

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, she she had said she would put checks and

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.639
<v Speaker 1>bounces on him. But uh the DSA of America Democratic

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Socialists of America that helped, you know, propel Mam Donnie

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>into office, they're like, oh, no, you're going to listen

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to what we say or you're out. And guess what,

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Mam Donnie will have the power to to sign me

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 1>any re election attempt of hers.

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're you're right, You're absolutely right, and listen.

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I Linda hates when I tell the truth, truth, but

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I have to tell the truth.

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 3>It's over New York is done.

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 5>Therefore, you know, that's why people tune in to Sean Hannity,

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 5>because you tell the truth, and that is the truth.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 5>I can, I can. I'll tell you.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>From California, I really want. I would love to see

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.439
<v Speaker 1>at least de Fonic win. I think she could really

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>change the state, especially where you live upstate. But just

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>by adding fracking. I love Steve Hilton. He would crush

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>it in California and really change that state around. But

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>their odds of winning are very very low. You want

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>me to lie and tell you, you know, create false hope.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not doing that right right, It's yeah, it's it's

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 5>kind of a dismal outlook. I think, what what a

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 5>lot of people are expecting. But you know, financial analysts,

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:52.120
<v Speaker 5>he kind of miss political analysts. Is of course that

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 5>this whole you know, blue sky program that Ma'm Dyning

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:02.640
<v Speaker 5>has sold everyone with you everything, free groceries, free healthcare.

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.160
<v Speaker 5>Of course it's going to crash and burn because there's

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 5>the reality is there's no money. You know, the state's bankrupt.

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 5>There's no money for all that, and she will.

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Go along with his tax increases. Mark my words. I

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 1>feel sorry for my friends in New York. I tried

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to warn everybody in New York, but I inevitably knew

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>what the outcome was going to be.

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 3>I was correct.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Linda was saying the day before election that Curtis was

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna win Thrual. False Linda, Oh, he's being awfully quiet

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. Anyway, Troy, appreciate you. Call man, God

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>bless you. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn. Our

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>number will stay in New York.

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 5>Ron.

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Next on the Sean Hennity Show, What's up? Ron? How

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:37.959
<v Speaker 3>are you?

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 6>How you doing?

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 8>Sean Connell from the Vampire State Hokals Vampire Hocus Focus,

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 8>Vampire State of New York, Upstate New York, Albany.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I love the people in New York, in Albany, Westchester, Nasau,

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Suffolk County.

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 3>You guys are great.

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>The problem is you are being Your votes are being

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>negated by this densely popular called New York City in

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the five boroughs.

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 8>Yep, takes all, Winter takes all, and that's what we have.

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Sean.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 8>I'm calling you actually about yesterday I heard you talking

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.479
<v Speaker 8>to a husband who's going through a divorce with his

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 8>wife over politics and calling you basically to tell you

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 8>my son, my pride and joy. He went to college

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 8>in Western New York, left high school, total conservative, came back,

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 8>totally liberalized, married, now normal situation, husband and wife. Now

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 8>he doesn't talk to me because Dad is on the

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 8>other side. Dad believes, you know, in reality of life,

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 8>and they pushed so much liberalism towards his way. And

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 8>how he's changed. It's just I don't know how to

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 8>bring him back, and I don't know what to do.

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean, we don't talk anymore. It's pretty sad what

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.880
<v Speaker 8>politics have done to families and how it's ripped them apart.

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to give you advice. I'm ready to

0:22:58.080 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 1>give you advice. You want to hear it, talk to me,

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>never ever, ever, ever give up on your children. Every week,

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>every other week, whatever you think is appropriate. You shoot

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 1>him a note, you drop a note in the mailbox.

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what your politics are. I'm your father,

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I love you, I'll always be here for you, and

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to have a relationship that transcends politics. And

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 1>just keep doing it and don't stop.

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 8>Sean, As you said, I've tried over and over again.

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 3>It don't stop. Just never stop.

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've had friends of mine that children are addicted

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to drugs or alcohol, and I give them the same advice,

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.399
<v Speaker 1>and that is, never give up on your children. You

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>just have to keep fighting for them. Now, in the

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 1>case of you know, people getting a divorce, I tried

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to get the guy yesterday, you know, to make that outreach,

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but he seemed checked out. He's done and she's done.

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I'm not the great marriage repairer, but

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you my humble advice to you is

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>never give up on your children.

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Just keep trying.

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>And even if you think if, even if you think

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no hope, you never know. People's hearts change over time.

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And if you if you consistently show him your door

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 1>is open and you want that relationship to be repaired,

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe one day he'll surprise you. Well, okay, It's like

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of like remember the episode in Home Alone,

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and remember the the neighbor that saved but Coley culk

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it okay, and that old man that seemed a little

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>creepy next door turned out to be a really nice

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>guy with a good heart, saved his life and got

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:40.239
<v Speaker 1>his family together. I hope that moment comes for you

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>in your your life with your son. I really do

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it can happen. Don't give up, brother, Okay, and we're

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>praying for you. Don't never give up. Just keep dropping notes,

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>just keep just keep hanging in there.

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 5>Thank you?

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Bruce in North Carolina. Next on the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, Bruce,

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 1>how are you glad you called?

0:24:59.040 --> 0:24:59.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm great man?

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Are I'm good? Brother? What's going on?

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.159
<v Speaker 7>I wanted to discuss the redistricting problems, you know, the

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 7>Texas the court decision against Texas, and what California is

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 7>trying to do. And here in North Carolina we've been

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 7>living with it for forty years. There's probably been more

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:20.400
<v Speaker 7>than one hundred lawsuits filed over that time about districts,

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 7>and to me, the only solution is to have a

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 7>computer drawing to where you know, there's no basis of

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 7>race or party, or sex or income or anything else.

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 7>It's just how many people live here and this is

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 7>the number of people that go per district. We actually,

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 7>I actually wrote a program and offered to give it

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 7>to the state ten years ago, and of course they

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 7>weren't interested in if they want the political power that

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 7>comes with it. But something needs to be done. Unfortunately.

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 7>You know, the states can pass this on their own,

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 7>but to require them to do it would meet a

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.679
<v Speaker 7>constitutional amendment. So you're kind of left out in the

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 7>dark in those states where you have one party in

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 7>primary control.

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I, I there are a million ways to do

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>it differently. The Democrats have mastered the art of partisan redistricting.

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Republicans are just kind of getting into the game. I'm

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>not worried about a lower court ruling like the one

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>in Texas today, because it's going to go to higher courts.

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried about California. Pam Bondi announced she's taking

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>on Gavin Newsom's power grab out there. But this cherry

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Mandarin game that both parties have played, but the Democrats

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>have played a lot harder and a lot better than Republicans.

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be neutralized, and it's got to be fair,

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and it's got to be across the board, and we

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>need standards. When I lived in Atlanta, there was one

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 1>district that went all the way from Atlanta to Savannah.

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>It was like it was like a if you looked

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>at on a map, it was like a snake line district.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.239
<v Speaker 1>It was sort of like wiggled all the way down

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to Savannah, you know, finding every Democratic home. At the time,

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe it was Cynthia mcainy that had that district.

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And it is what it is.

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 3>It just is.

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>It has to be done better, just like election integrity

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 1>has to be done better, you know, voter ID signature verification,

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 1>chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers watching

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the voting all day, vote counting all night. And I

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 1>prefer paper ballots and very limited mail in ballots, you know.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 1>But Republicans got to get moving on a lot of

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. They've been behind the eight ball. And I

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:35.080
<v Speaker 1>would argue Republicans maybe down as many as twelve fifteen

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.719
<v Speaker 1>seats based just on Democratic gerrymandering.

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 7>Ten ten years ago, we had two unusual districts here.

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 7>One stretched from Durham down to Charlotte following eighty five

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 7>and the other there was a place in it whether

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 7>it have to be contiguous, and there was a place

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 7>on a river where the only way you could be

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 7>in that district was to live on a house boat.

0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 7>In person, they followed the bank of the river to

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 7>make contiguous.

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 3>And well, the repult that's not a shock, you know.

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 7>It's just it's just amazing that we keep fighting over

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 7>it when there's a solution to cure it.

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>All I can. I can't argue with anything you're saying.

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You're one hundred percent right, and I wish you success

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 1>in trying to be fair.

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Bruce. We appreciate you call.

0:28:25.960 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back to our busy phones eight hundred and

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.199
<v Speaker 1>ninety four one Sean if you want to join us

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 1>as we continue. Michael is in Atlanta. What's up, Michael?

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 1>How are you on?

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 5>How are you doing?

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm good, sir, Glad you called great.

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 6>I just wanted to talk about the Palisades fires. And

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.959
<v Speaker 6>I'm originally from Los Angeles. I grew up in the

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 6>Brentwood Palisades area, and I spent a lot of years

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 6>of my youth up in the Palisades village that now

0:28:56.040 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 6>just burned down, uh, with classmates and friends. And the

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 6>only reason why I actually came to Georgia was to

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 6>go to college at the University of Georgia back in

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 6>ninety one, and that when I got out of school,

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 6>moved into Atlanta with the Olympics and life would take over.

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 6>And I've been here ever since. Although I've always wanted

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 6>to move back to LA and back to Brentwood, but

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 6>as you know, the cost of living has been so

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 6>out of control, and the politics has been out of

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 6>just unseemly, and so I've been here. But the reason

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 6>why I was calling is just to give you a

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 6>perspective of what was happening when I was growing up.

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 6>The LA Fire Department would actually go up and down

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 6>streets during the summertime and during the Santa Ana conditions

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 6>in the late fall looking for dry brush. They would

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 6>water it down, they would make sure that the fire

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 6>hydrants were working, and they would clean out all of

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 6>the brush. They would also water down some of the

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 6>I guess the dry foliage that could catch on fire.

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 6>And they did all these things. You've talked about many

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 6>times about the forestation and the signs behind it and whatever,

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:19.680
