They're not 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: on the men any longer. They're on the move, and 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: we're coming to audit at our challenges from position to strength. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't paint all of those very wealthy people as racist, 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: antisemites and whatever trumpion, but that's how they vote. I 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: think we're going to be in real trouble if we 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: don't get up and deliver, then I believe that Democrats 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: are going to lose. Freedom is back in style. Welcome 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: to the revolution. Yeah, where I'm coming.

Our friend Senator Tim Scott the 19 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: Great State of South Carolina recently spoke at the Regular 20 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Library reminding people what the American dream is really all about. 21 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: We don't talk enough about what America is about the 22 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: blessings of liberty that we have. You know, we don't 23 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: talk enough about natural rights. We believe that we're endowed 24 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: by a creator, that rights come from God, not from government. 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Are These are profound and deep principles. And the idea 26 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: that you have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: not necessarily guaranteed results. That's going to be based a 28 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: lot on the decisions you make in life. I know 29 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: plenty of people that, for example, I would say they 30 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: have a calling. Every pilot i've ever met, every fireman 31 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: i've ever met, every military member i've ever met, for 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: the most part, every police officer i've ever met, every 33 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: nurse i've ever met, doctor i've ever met, they all 34 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: wanted to do these things since they were young, or 35 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: at least many of them are very high percentage of them, 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: and for them it's a calling. For other people, they 37 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: have a different calling. Senator Tim Scott as with us 38 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: that wow is that was a powerful speech. I read 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: the whole thing. I was blown away. God bless you 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: shot thank you for doing so. And I will say 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: this without any question ours is the greatest nation on earth, 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: with no ceiling over your head unless you set it 43 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: for yourself. Gone are the days when someone else decides 44 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: how far you go, how long you drive. You decide 45 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: how far you go, You decide what you drive, in 46 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: where you drive. And in America all things are possible. 47 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: How does it feel? And I remember our friend Denene 48 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: Barelli who wrote the book Blacklash. In the beginning of 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: the book, she says, just google my name, and you 50 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: google it. And she's an African American and she's called 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: every atrocious, ugly, despicable, evil name that you can think of, 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: just because she's African American and conservative. You've been through 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: the same thing. How does that impact you? What's the 54 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: miserabook experience? At times? But the one thing you have 55 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: to realize is that the thing the left the progressives 56 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: are fearful of, afraid of, is when women and minorities 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: see the light of conservatism in politics. There's no question 58 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: that when you understand that this country affords you the 59 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: ability and the opportunity to live the life of your dreams, 60 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: that is dangerous to the left. The left belief that 61 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: somehow someway someone from central casting in Washington, DC will 62 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: make the decisions for your life better than you can 63 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: do for yourself. The Democrats, Sean, hate empowerment, They hate 64 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: individual opportunity and responsibility, and most of all, the greatest 65 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: minority in the country is the individual. They do not 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: want to see the individual free to decide their own direction, 67 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: their own destination. And our party, the Party of Conservatism, 68 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,119 Speaker 1: sets the captive free so that you pursue your God 69 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: given rights and your God given disposition towards a passion, 70 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: towards a mission. I had the wonderful opportunity, not that 71 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: long ago, as you know, to meet your mother and 72 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: your sister and your pastor. I met all three of them, 73 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: and I got to know a lot about you, you 74 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: and your background and your family and your life and 75 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 1: your faith. And first tell us more about your mom 76 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and your life growing up. Things were not particularly easy 77 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: for you the whole time. Tell everybody well, Sean, yeah, 78 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us, and we had 79 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: a great time with you. My mother left, she was 80 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 1: already a fan. She's a bigger fan without any question 81 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: of yours. But the truth is that growing up here 82 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: in the South, times were hard, single parent household, my 83 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: mother worked sixteen hours a day three days a week, 84 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: eight hours a day the other two days just as 85 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: a nurse's aid, changing bed pans and flipping patients. But 86 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: she believed in the dignity of work that everybody should 87 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: do all fay can before asking for a handout. And 88 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: it's one of the ways that she kept us off 89 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: of welfare was by going the extra miles so that 90 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: both of her boys would have the example of work 91 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: at home. And because of her hard work or dedication 92 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: and her discipline, she literally sometimes had to remind me 93 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: that love comes at the end of us. Which wait 94 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: a minute, if you really want to tell the truths here, 95 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: because we're being blunt and honest. And I got the 96 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: same thing on my end, except that I didn't get 97 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: a switch. I got the belt. I don't know what's worse. 98 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: I think they're both pretty probably equally bad and I 99 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: and in truth, I deserved it. I was incorrigible, I 100 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: was I listened to nobody when I was growing up. 101 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: I just did whatever the heck I wanted, and somehow, 102 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, God, you know, got beaten into me and 103 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: finally stuck m But you know, so your mom was 104 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: not easy on you. I had no problem taken out 105 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: that switch and saying and correcting you spared the rod 106 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: spoiled child. If you will, by the way, if you 107 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: do it today, your kids will call Family Children's Services 108 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: and you'll get arrested. But you know, a little different time, 109 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: very different time. And the truth is, your mom and 110 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: your experience is so much like mine. One of the 111 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: things I try to talk about in the Reagan Library 112 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: speech is that within three generations we've all gone through 113 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: hard times and misery. That tragedy seems to always precede 114 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: triumph your life or in my life story, they have 115 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: that similar tone that we had to work our way up. 116 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of America. The vast majority of 117 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: the wealthiest people in this country come from a middle 118 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: class or even lower. This is a country of opportunity. 119 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: It's a country where you can aspire to be whatever 120 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: you want to be, not just wake up one day, 121 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: but go to work one day and then the manifestation 122 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: comes in the future. I want to read a little 123 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: more from your speech at the Regular Library. I will 124 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: continue to proclaim boldly this truth from every mountaintop, and 125 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: then I'll do so from the deepest valley. I will 126 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: do it in the boardroom, but I'll also do it 127 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: in a classroom. I'll do it in the auditorium, surrounded 128 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: by friends, and the inner city church, surrounded by skeptics. 129 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I believe it because I lived it, and I've lived 130 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: the original dream. I have held the truth, the unalienable 131 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: truth that all men and women are created equal, endowed 132 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: by their creator with the right to be free. I'm 133 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: not merely a believer in the principles of conservatism. I'm 134 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: an eyewitness. I bear testimony that America can do for 135 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: you what it has done for me. So if it's 136 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: a time for choosing, that is what I have chosen, 137 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: obviously referring to one of Reagan's famous speeches, and the power, 138 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: the life changing power of freedom and hope and opportunity. 139 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Will you choose it with me? Will you join as 140 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: a messenger of hope, a missionary of the power of 141 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: ideas that can change our nation again? Because I will? 142 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: And then you said, God bless these United States of America. 143 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: I think we're raising a generation of people. Look at 144 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. Guaranteed government job, guaranteed government minimum wage, 145 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,359 Speaker 1: guaranteed government salary, or whatever that happens to be guaranteed healthcare, 146 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: guaranteed government, healthy food, free college. You know, take from 147 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: one group of people give to the other group of people. 148 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: That's not what life, liberty in the pursuit of happen. 149 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: And this is about that. That's not what capitalism, liberty, 150 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: and freedom are all about, is it. At that point, 151 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: then government becomes authoritarian and they decide, you know, what 152 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: the cap is on people's destinies or what their callings 153 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: might be. I don't want the government telling me what 154 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: I can and cannot do, or taking what I've worked 155 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: for and giving it to this one, that one or 156 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: the other one. And I believe in being generous and 157 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: giving back. Sean, you said it so well. It's hard 158 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: for me to say anything to what you should except 159 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: for amen. But if I had to say something, I 160 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: would say without any question, the GBI the government's basic income. 161 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: They cap you at a thousand dollars in Los Angeles, 162 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: but in America there is no cap on a guaranteed 163 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: basic income because you determine where your income stops. What 164 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: we know is that with this current collectivist mentality, the 165 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: truth is inflation is the result or the consequence of 166 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats controlling your money, trying to make government your god, 167 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: and giving you what you deserve, which is always less 168 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: than you can earn on your own. And what we 169 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: believe as conservatives is that given the opportunity to strive 170 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: and to succeed, there is no basic income that will 171 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: be guaranteed by the government because it will always be 172 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: too low inflation. When it's the Democrats, time will always 173 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: be too high. Income always too low with the Democrats 174 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: are in charge. Because we believe that the market, the 175 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: free market, capitalism, free enterprise, always outpaces the left, and 176 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: we've proven it. Twenty sixteen to twenty twenty John two 177 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: sixteen to two twenty we had the most inclusive economy 178 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,239 Speaker 1: in the history of the country, creating seven million jobs, 179 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: with every American demographic doing better. The lowest twenty five 180 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: percent of earners earned more money faster than the top 181 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty five percent. This is what you call a conservative 182 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: agenda that actually produces results, and what is Biden done. 183 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: Gas has gone from a dollar ninety nine a gallon 184 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: in South Carolina when President Trump was still in office 185 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: to almost four dollars a gallon today. Yeah, you're lucky. 186 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: Not in New York. I'm at four eighty seven a gallon, 187 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: and I mean it's painful, painful, especially well, I mean 188 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: the people that are being hurt the most of the 189 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: people that Democrats claim to have a monopoly, compassion for 190 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: the poor, in the middle class, the people that did 191 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: well under Donald Trump, he set record low unemployment for 192 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: every demographic African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in 193 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: the workplace, youth unemployment, and African American youth unemployment. Excuse me, 194 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: I'll take the policies that work with a few mean 195 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: tweets over a president that doesn't have any clue that 196 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: today is Tuesday and whose policy are an utter disaster. 197 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: I hear that all over South Carolina. One of the 198 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: best plays for a conservative to do a town hall 199 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: is it a gas pump, literally and across the country 200 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: is a place where our party should have a town 201 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: hall meeting, because we know Biden literally did that. If 202 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, did you hear about the guy that got 203 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: arrested from putting the sign up for that on the 204 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: gas pump? They arrested, They arrested this poor guy because 205 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: he put up I caused that quick break right back 206 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: more with Senator Tim Scott, Great State South Carolina. As 207 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: we continue than your calls eight hundred and nine for 208 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: one Shawn the radio show the mainstream media loves day. 209 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: This is a Sean Hannity show, all right, As we 210 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: continue with South Carolina Senator who's up for reelection this year, 211 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: Our friend Senator Tim Scott is with us. You know, 212 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: you think of something as simple and as fundamental, So 213 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's willing to negotiate with the Mullas of Iran. 214 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: He's important. He imported a million barrels of oil from 215 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: Iran last year. We hadn't done that since nineteen ninety 216 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: one up till recently, importing, you know, all this energy 217 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: from Russia, begging Opec to increase production, trying to do 218 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: an Iranian deals that would include importing more oil and 219 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: making the Mullas rich again, sending an emissary or group 220 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: of emissary, a group of people to Venezuela to talk 221 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: to that murdering dictator thug. And we've got more energy 222 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: in this country that would that literally would keep us 223 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: self sufficient, the masters of our own destiny for two 224 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: hundred plus years exactly. And the truth is anytime you 225 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: go from one dictator to another dictator, you are not 226 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: protecting our national security. We all know now more than 227 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: ever before, that energy independence is indeed a part of 228 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: our national security apparatus. When you did NY one, you 229 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: deny the other. We have to get the permits and 230 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: we have to finish the approval process for the Keystone 231 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: XL pipeline. President Biden has been disgraceful on our energy 232 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: resources and we are paying the higher price because of it. 233 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: Nine hundred thousand barrels of oil we'd be would be 234 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: coming straight from Canada into this country now. According to 235 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: the Alberta Premiere, your pastor said something about you that 236 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: was interesting to me. You thought at one point in 237 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: your life you were going to be a minister, and 238 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: he actually graded you. I think he said you were 239 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: like a seven or an eight. You could easily be 240 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: a nine or ten in terms of being a pastor 241 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: and a preacher. But he said, na, you shouldn't do that. 242 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: That's not what you're calling is. And he said this 243 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: to you right after you lost a congressional election, the 244 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: only election you ever lost in your life. And by 245 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: the way, you're going to win running away this year, 246 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: you're up for reelection in South Carolina, and of course 247 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: we're supporting your reelection. We need people like you. I 248 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: thought that was pretty profound, if you're that good a preacher, 249 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: but he said, that's not your calling. That's a pretty 250 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: bold statement. Well, Jano, was a devastating statement when I 251 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: heard it. Don't doubt having a loss of race for 252 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the States Senate and looking at no future in politics, 253 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: and thinking to myself that I wanted to be a 254 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: minister earlier in life when I finished, when I was 255 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: in college, and then having another opportunity to go into it, 256 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: and my pastor listened to me preaching gave me a 257 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: wonderful opportunity, and he said, with clarity, you recalled to 258 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: allow your faith to be operated in politics and not 259 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: through the pulpit. And I was devastated, but I think 260 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: got twenty five years later how right he was earlier. 261 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to make a prediction that you're going to 262 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: combine the two of them in some way. And I 263 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: thought the speech you gave was one of the best 264 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: I'd ever heard anybody give at the Reagan Library. And 265 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: that's saying a lot extraordinarily well done. Well, I thoroughly 266 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I appreciate you being one of the kinds 267 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: of truthtellers that advocates on behalf of the American people, 268 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: on behalf of the individual. Anyone who knows your story 269 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: knows that hard work and integrity pays off. That you 270 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: have to be tenacious. And that's a message for people. 271 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: No matter what you look like, no matter your gender, 272 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: no matter your income, no matter your education. In America, 273 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: you get to determine your future. What a blessing. A 274 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: blessing people hear you. We've got to get We've got 275 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: to We've got to shift the mindset of kids today 276 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: because they're being indoctrinated into believing that the government will 277 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: take care of their every need. No they won't, they 278 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: just anyway. Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina, you are upper 279 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: reelection this year. We strongly endorse your reelection, although you 280 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: really don't need our help because the people of South 281 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Carolina already know what a great job you're doing. Senator 282 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Tim Scott, great state of South Carolina. Thank you, sir 283 00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: for joining us.

We'll get 290 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: to your calls here in just a second. I told 291 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: you yesterday we have these ten Democrats now, most of 292 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: them up for reelection, people that never said a word 293 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: during last year's record surge of illegal immigrants into the country. 294 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: They didn't lift a finger, they didn't say a word. 295 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: They're not outspoken. They're doing it. It's an election year conversion. 296 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: The minute they get back to Washington, they're going to 297 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: go right back to repealing Title forty two and allowing 298 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: as much illegal immigration as possible. Now, all of a sudden, 299 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: Joe has second thoughts about resist ending Title forty two. Anyway, 300 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: here's what he said. You know, what I'm considering is 301 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: continuing to hear from my uh my. First of all, 302 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: there's going to be an appeal by the Justice Department, 303 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: because as a matter of principle, we want to be 304 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: able to be in a position where if in fact 305 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need 306 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: title forty two, that we be able to do that, 307 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: but there has been no decision on extending title forty two. 308 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: Does anybody know what the hell this guy ever says? 309 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: Because I have a hard time for following the bouncing, 310 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: insane ball of that is all things Joe Biden. It's 311 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: just pretty unbelievable. Anyway, I think I think a big 312 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: part of it, if I may just for a moment, 313 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, it was really scary because he literally was 314 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: answering a question that wasn't asked. He thinks Title forty 315 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: two has something to do with the masks he's referring 316 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: to scientists that are going to talk about our border 317 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: because he has no idea what title forty two is 318 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: because he wasn't supposed to take questions and there was 319 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: no Easter money to get between him and the press 320 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: in the middle of this commentary that he gave on Ukraine, 321 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: which was a whole bunch of nothing. So it's just 322 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's absolutely shocking. But I think in more 323 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: important news today, and I know this is not something 324 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: that you want to talk about, but you're breaking you're 325 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: you're breaking a record today boss. And I mean, you know, 326 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: you didn't want to celebrate how long you've been on 327 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: radio and TV. You didn't do the show yet, to 328 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: do the show tonight to break the record. Oh please, 329 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: are you calling out tonight? Because that never happens. I'm 330 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: going to be in tonight. I'll be there all right then, 331 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: So let's just be preemptive about it and say, as 332 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: of tonight, you are breaking a major record. You will 333 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: be the longest running cable news show in American history, 334 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: now beating the legendary Larry King, very specific primetime cable 335 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: news host in the history of cable news Primetimeuo has 336 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: been doing this longer than me. Was that CNBC? But 337 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: he's not in prime time And and I congratulate him. 338 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: We don't agree necessarily on all politics. It's about a person. 339 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: I love the guy. He's a great guy. But I 340 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: also think one of the things that we should mention, 341 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: and I know that you don't want to mention this, 342 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: but not only are you getting this coveted and amazing, um, 343 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: you know marker in your professional history here milestone. Sure, okay, 344 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm calling it a marker because I think you got 345 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: many more miles to go. But you know, I think 346 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're you're number one. You're not just 347 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean, thirteen years running number one in this primetime slot. 348 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: That's insane. It really is. The pressure is insane. You 349 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: can ask as many questions as you want. Let maybe 350 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: a little serious for one minute. You know, is that 351 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: song by Tim McGraw. I'm sure you if I always 352 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: be humble and kind and you know, always be humble 353 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: and true and all of that, you know, open doors 354 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: and say thank you and all the all the things 355 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: that we should all do to each other to make 356 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: the world a better place. Anyway. I the first thing 357 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: is when they told me this that it was approaching, 358 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, no no, I can't be. I'm like, 359 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: because I feel like I started yesterday and I really 360 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: feel that way. I don't feel like I set a 361 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: record of any any kind. And I said, you guys 362 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: really need to go back and check that. I doubt 363 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: that's right. And they went back and they checked and 364 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: then double checked and triple checked, and they came back. No, 365 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: you're you will be the longest running primetime cable news 366 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: host in the history cable news. And I just don't 367 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: know really what to think. About it, except I feel 368 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: a great sense of humility about it, gratefulness for it, 369 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: appreciation of it. The more I do it, the more 370 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: I know how blessed I am to be able to 371 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: do it. And that's radio NTV every day, and I 372 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: know that I don't take myself seriously. I take the 373 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: job seriously. I don't care what my critics think. I 374 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: do this show to serve the American people that are underserved. 375 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, without talk radio and without Fox, I don't 376 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: know what the state of the country would be. I 377 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: think people have finally figured out Joe's a cognitive mess 378 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: because we start talking about it in twenty twenty. It 379 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: takes a long time for things to resonate out. And 380 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: Joe kept screwing up. That kind of helped. And you 381 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: were badgered for it too. I mean you were bad 382 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: You were badgered for supporting Trump. Oh yeah, you were. 383 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: You were badgered for your commentary. I can remember the 384 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: Reverend Right days of Obama, when we were doing all 385 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: that research and people saying, you can't talk about this, 386 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: you can't talk about you know, Trinity Church and Black 387 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: theology and Obama's you know, I mean, its dorn and 388 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: my God and that conversation with Stephanopolis, you know, I 389 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: mean and going into the tunnels, you know, on the 390 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 1: Gaza Strip and taking the helicopter rides, you know, with 391 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Israel, or being in Vietnam or 392 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: Singapore and interviewing President Trump at the Russia summit, being 393 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: in Finland. I mean, real historical moments that when you 394 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: go back and you say, you know, you want to 395 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: bash somebody or attack somebody, you have to take a moment. 396 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting in the Forbes article is 397 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of liberals watching your show, a lot 398 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: more liberals than are I mean self identified. Yeah, it's 399 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: interesting because it's more than watch MSDNC or C. And 400 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: then look, I can only say this is, you know, 401 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: I've never been in better shape in terms of physical 402 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: strength in my life. I dedicate an hour and a 403 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: half a day to mix martial arts, and you know, 404 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: when we've taken it to a real whole new level, 405 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I just feel like I've just gotten started. 406 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: That may sound strange when you're telling me that I 407 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: broke this record, that I might be thinking about winding 408 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: down as as long as this audience and Fox's audience 409 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: allows me, I'm going to keep pounding away because I 410 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: don't feel like my job is done. I got a 411 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: lot in me. Should you keep pounding away? But I 412 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: think that you know, one of the things that you realize, 413 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, because you know, with my grandmother always used 414 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: to say this got rest are stalling, ma'am she right? 415 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: You know, youth is wasted on the young. And I 416 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: think one of the things we realize is we get 417 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: older and we're more seasoned. You know, you've got a 418 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: better temperament. You know, you're keeping yourself healthier, you're eating healthier, 419 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: you're doing things smarter. And it's one of those things 420 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: where now you can say, I've got the experience, I 421 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: know how to do this better, and I am still 422 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: strong and I am still in this game. And by 423 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: the way, I'm beating all of you at it. And 424 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: you know you would never say that, so I'll say 425 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: it for you. Because everybody out there wants to be 426 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: a hater and they think it's so easy and they 427 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: can do it better and they can do it smarter, 428 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: or that you should say this or you should attack 429 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: this one. It's like you have no idea the amount 430 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: of work that goes into doing a three hour radio show, 431 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: a one hour TV news show every single night, and 432 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the amount of people sources that we need. And people 433 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: got mad when I get mad when I say that 434 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm like a marine in terms in terms of my regiment, 435 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm not comparing myself to a marine. I'm saying that 436 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: I am very discipline. I get up, I work out, 437 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: I cook my breakfast usually onions, spinach, and egg whites, 438 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: and then I'm off to the racist and it's a 439 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: non start. People need to get a life. I mean, 440 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: it's like, you're so outreached by everything. Don't you have 441 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: anything better to do? Do you have anything better to 442 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: do to be outraged over every word you're parsing? Get 443 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: over it? You know, bigger problem gets texts from me 444 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: about news stories and ideas. What times there is no 445 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: there is no time of the day where that stops. 446 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: And there's a special sound for you which my son, 447 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: my son calls it the star Wars sound, which is 448 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: a starical But I have a special ring tone and 449 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: text tone for you.

You know, you actually interviewed 464 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Larry King a few times, and I think that he 465 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: would be happy to pass this baton to you, and 466 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: I think it's really amazing, So congratulates.

Nobody expected this. 469 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: These two crazy radio guys Hannity and my friend Alan 470 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: Colmes who passed away, you know, would ever succeed at this. 471 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: I remember when I started, I was like, well, maybe 472 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: I'll get three years out of this gig before they 473 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: figure out that you should fire me. And um, it's 474 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: a blessing every day. I'm grateful to Alan. He died 475 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: way too young. He was the real deal. He was 476 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: he was woke before woke, I mean, but he really 477 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: was said he really believed it and it had a 478 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: great sense of humor. Was a great guy and he's missed. 479 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: But you know, that's actually one of the things in 480 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: the article that you said, um, and I think it's 481 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: it bears repeating, is you have to actually believe and 482 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: mean what you're saying. You know, one of the things 483 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: that we're missing today is this echo chamber of just 484 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: mantras and nonsense and nobody actually knows what they're saying. 485 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: And so when you sit down and have a conversation 486 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: with someone like, you know, why do you think that 487 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: or why do you believe that? Or why are you 488 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: saying that? And then you have, like, you know, a 489 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: half an hour of answers and then you say to 490 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: somebody in you know, in the woke movement, well, why 491 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: do you feel that this person is whatever they're calling them? 492 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: And they're like, I don't know, I saw it on 493 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: Instagram and I heard everyone's getting together here, so I 494 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: got to sign and put on a shirt and showed up. 495 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there's absolutely no depth to their argument, but 496 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: to yours, there's pages of it, you know, and you 497 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: have a real background to what you're saying, So kudos 498 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: to listen. I'm also grateful I have the best radio 499 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: staff in the history of radio, between you and sweet 500 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: Baby James, and I can't mention everybody don't figure out people, 501 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: and the same with TV. Have the best TV staff 502 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: and that I could ever imagine. You're friends with all 503 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: of them, and we all have great people. It's awesome, 504 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: awesome team. We have a text message, you know, six 505 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: way text that everybody gets the crazy text messages for 506 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: me at all hours of the day and night. But 507 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: really it's the audience that we're out there serving, and 508 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't feel any different than I did 509 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: day one. I just, if anything, I'm working harder than 510 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: I've ever worked. I would say, we're saying that to 511 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: pat myself on the back. It's just I feel a 512 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: sense of urgency that I've never felt before for the country. 513 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: And this is not contrived. What you're referred to in 514 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: the article is what I referred to is actually captured 515 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: really well by Howard Stern. And by the way, what 516 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: has happened to poor Howard? I mean, he's of age 517 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: about it. It's so sad to me. I was grown 518 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 1: up listening to him. He's he's kind of he's COVID 519 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: freaked out. It wants to take away everyone's freedom. Imagine 520 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: the king of free speech wants to take away freedom, 521 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: but if your freedom, but putting that aside. He had 522 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: a scene in Private Parts where he was starting in 523 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: radio stations. You start out, all right, now a chuck 524 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: of today's weather. He's he hot and human chance of 525 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: late afternoon thunderstorms. High right now is seventy two degrees 526 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: going on a super for high of eighty nine right 527 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: here on. Wwww. You trying to do that? The thing 528 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: that has happened over time, that has to evolve over 529 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: time because you don't know what the hell you're doing 530 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: when you start this in these businesses and industries. You 531 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: can't teach it. You have to start doing it. It's 532 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: not something you're gonna learn in college. Oh, I'm gonna 533 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: start my own syndicator radio show. Good luck with that. 534 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: It's that once you become your authentic self to the extent, 535 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: you can be your real authentic self and talk about 536 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: the things that really energize you, motivate you, inspire you 537 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: that you want to talk about and give your unique 538 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: take on it is.

Now, we have predictions that gasoline nationwide, now 581 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: over four dollars a gallon in every state, will be 582 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: over six dollars a gallon in every state by August. 583 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: We have a baby formula shortage with the United States 584 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: of America, and Joe Biden in his administration's answers go 585 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: to your ob GYN doctor and see if they have 586 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: any samples in their office. This is not something that 587 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: you can fix quickly unless you build up something equivalent 588 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: to operation warp speed for baby formula. If you do that, 589 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: then guess what Some kids, by the way, reports are 590 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: that they've been taken to the hospital because they don't 591 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: have the baby formula. Infants need either breast milk or 592 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: baby formula. I know that much. I didn't know. I 593 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 1: learned this week. I had no idea. But according to 594 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: a Biden administration shou official, men can officially get pregnant, 595 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: carry a child, and aboard a child. Didn't know that either, 596 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: Learning all sorts of new things from the Biden administration, 597 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: things that frankly, I never thought I'd even discuss in 598 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: my lifetime,
