WEBVTT - 35 Days: The Purity Test Problem 0:00:00.430 --> 0:00:04.430 So here we are, 35 days out of, I think, 0:00:04.500 --> 0:00:07.900 the single most important midterm we've ever faced. It's an 0:00:07.940 --> 0:00:11.340 inflection point for the country. I've been trying to convey 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.400 a sense of urgency to you, my wonderful audience here. 0:00:15.420 --> 0:00:19.000 I want to just tell you with the highest degree 0:00:19.020 --> 0:00:25.350 of confidence, there is enough people in this audience on 700, what, 0:00:25.350 --> 0:00:30.790 60 stations strong and podcasted, et cetera. We're everywhere. that 0:00:30.930 --> 0:00:34.129 can change the outcome of this election. Reince Priebus has 0:00:34.150 --> 0:00:38.449 been saying that he thinks 100,000 votes may separate the 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.040 balance of power in both the House and the Senate. 0:00:41.260 --> 0:00:43.479 I don't know. I just know that the polling in 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:48.240 this cycle has been atrocious, as evidenced by Abdul El-Sayed 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.300 in Michigan. He was supposed to win by 20 points. 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.470 He barely won by a point. Or Francesca Hong. She 0:00:54.590 --> 0:00:57.050 had one poll like the week of the election or 0:00:57.110 --> 0:00:59.680 just before the weekend before you know, where she was 0:00:59.740 --> 0:01:03.779 up 30, is up between 20 and 30 points, lost 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.750 the race by 3,000. I don't know how the polling 0:01:06.770 --> 0:01:11.890 can be that atrocious. But if everybody has the same mindset, 0:01:11.970 --> 0:01:15.530 which is assume that your vote is going to be 0:01:15.590 --> 0:01:20.149 the determining vote for your congressional seat, be it congressman, congresswoman, 0:01:21.050 --> 0:01:24.170 your gubernatorial race, our friend Greg Abbott, we got to 0:01:24.209 --> 0:01:26.150 take care of him in Texas. He's been a great 0:01:26.190 --> 0:01:29.230 governor for Texas. Ken Paxton, we'll talk about him in 0:01:29.270 --> 0:01:33.590 a second and Telefrico. And I'm just telling you, you've 0:01:33.650 --> 0:01:37.819 got to take these races seriously. Assume that your vote matters. 0:01:38.020 --> 0:01:41.920 And I'm talking about my free state of Florida. I mean, 0:01:41.940 --> 0:01:44.740 if I look at polls, it gets a little chilling. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.500 It's like you got to be kidding me. I don't 0:01:47.620 --> 0:01:51.190 trust them, which is why I'm not sharing them with you. 0:01:52.380 --> 0:01:56.520 I think they have a psychological impact on turnout. I 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.160 think people, they either get deflated or they get over-exuberant. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.180 And I don't want anybody feeling that way. I want 0:02:03.220 --> 0:02:05.800 everyone to feel as if their vote matters. And then 0:02:05.900 --> 0:02:08.590 there's a group of people out there, I don't know, 0:02:08.620 --> 0:02:12.060 they have whatever purity test that they may have, and 0:02:12.250 --> 0:02:15.290 you people probably scare me the most. What do I 0:02:15.330 --> 0:02:20.690 mean by that? It means that if, let's say, you're 0:02:20.710 --> 0:02:24.310 a congressman or woman, Is not the best. And this 0:02:24.389 --> 0:02:27.369 is the ongoing conversation we've been having on the program. 0:02:28.250 --> 0:02:30.690 And let's just call it what it is. Let's say 0:02:30.730 --> 0:02:33.600 they're weak Republicans. Let's say they're rhinos. I don't like 0:02:33.620 --> 0:02:37.940 them either. I'm not fond of many of them. However, 0:02:38.419 --> 0:02:41.660 I don't know one of them that would eliminate the U.S. Senate, 0:02:42.180 --> 0:02:45.550 eliminate your ability to choose the president, that would pack 0:02:45.590 --> 0:02:49.990 the courts, that wants amnesty for illegals, wants to abolish 0:02:50.030 --> 0:02:54.240 the borders, abolish ICE, end all deportation. I don't know 0:02:54.310 --> 0:02:57.920 one Republican that's standing on that platform. Every Republican I 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.919 know running. And, you know, let's start with the basics. 0:03:01.020 --> 0:03:05.120 They all support securing our borders. Okay, that's important. Otherwise, 0:03:05.139 --> 0:03:07.760 we're going to become Western Europe. You know, I never thought, 0:03:07.980 --> 0:03:11.650 you know, unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. How's that worked 0:03:11.710 --> 0:03:15.410 out in Western Europe? Well, 100 Sharia courts in Great Britain, 0:03:15.790 --> 0:03:20.710 no-go zones all over Europe. And it's almost like... This 0:03:20.850 --> 0:03:25.169 model that the radicalized Democratic Party has taken on, you know, 0:03:25.350 --> 0:03:29.239 has now been tried all over Europe and its results 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.459 have been catastrophic. I mean, we saw this this thwarted 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.740 terror attempt. You know, why would you allow unfettered illegal 0:03:38.900 --> 0:03:42.410 immigration and not demand assimilation? No go zones in France 0:03:42.470 --> 0:03:45.720 and elsewhere. Sharia courts in Great Britain. Never thought I'd 0:03:45.780 --> 0:03:48.280 see that or we'd be discussing it. But they also 0:03:48.460 --> 0:03:51.800 adopted climate alarmism to the tune of wasting trillions of 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:57.680 dollars combined. They have adopted radical socialism. It always fails. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.920 This is what this is what the radical left now 0:03:59.980 --> 0:04:04.610 wants to do in this country vis-a-vis the DSA, Democratic 0:04:04.650 --> 0:04:07.710 Socialists of America. They are the power base. Don't let 0:04:07.750 --> 0:04:10.350 anybody fool you in this country. You know, if you 0:04:10.450 --> 0:04:13.330 if you have Democrats that are saying they're going to 0:04:13.350 --> 0:04:15.310 be more moderate, which, by the way, is now the 0:04:15.370 --> 0:04:18.870 new tactic that they've taken on. They realize that eliminating 0:04:18.910 --> 0:04:23.030 the Senate and packing the courts and amnesty for illegals 0:04:23.089 --> 0:04:26.469 and abolishing borders and ICE and ending deportation. Can you 0:04:26.490 --> 0:04:29.750 imagine the stupidity of wanting to defund the Department of War, 0:04:30.430 --> 0:04:35.530 eliminating cash bail, abolishing prisons, abolishing the police? The idea 0:04:35.570 --> 0:04:38.130 that government is going to take over the ownership of 0:04:38.190 --> 0:04:43.450 most corporations? this insane cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, 0:04:43.529 --> 0:04:50.370 government guaranteed daycare, government guaranteed date night babysitters, government guaranteed jobs, 0:04:50.830 --> 0:04:55.710 guaranteed government salaries, and guaranteed government healthy food. Good grief. 0:04:56.650 --> 0:05:01.180 That just takes our constitution, the notion that rights are 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.280 endowed to us by our creator, and governments are established 0:05:06.620 --> 0:05:11.000 to protect those natural rights that are God-given. And, you know, 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.420 in the process, you give up all liberty, all freedom 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.400 in the name of false security because they never can 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.610 fulfill the price tag of the Green New Deal. What 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.570 is it? Two hundred and ten trillion dollars. I mean, 0:05:24.050 --> 0:05:27.530 we can't afford any of this, nor does government run 0:05:27.570 --> 0:05:31.120 anything well, as evidenced by your government schools, by Obamacare 0:05:31.150 --> 0:05:33.919 and the Social Security lockbox. What is government doing so 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.300 well except for the Department of War? And even that 0:05:37.420 --> 0:05:40.919 is too expensive at times, and they misappropriate money. And 0:05:40.940 --> 0:05:44.900 they want to wealth tax and punish success and disincentivize 0:05:44.940 --> 0:05:50.770 people from being creators and innovators. The great thing about 0:05:50.830 --> 0:05:54.089 liberty and freedom is it is a true meritocracy in life. 0:05:54.570 --> 0:05:56.809 And by the way, the rich do pay their fair share. 0:05:56.850 --> 0:05:58.330 The top 1% pay about 50% of the taxes. The 0:05:58.390 --> 0:06:05.000 top 10% pay about 80%. The bottom 50% of wage 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.700 earners pay about 1% of the tax base in this 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.260 country when it comes to income taxes. But under Donald Trump, 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:18.359 we see that poverty, especially for minorities, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, 0:06:18.460 --> 0:06:22.670 Native Americans, is now at an all-time low. Incomes for 0:06:22.690 --> 0:06:26.450 the lowest 25% is now at the highest level ever. 0:06:27.430 --> 0:06:29.350 Median income rose to $ 87, 600. That is the most ever. 0:06:32.750 --> 0:06:36.110 You've seen 80 plus records in the stock market. OK, 0:06:36.150 --> 0:06:38.390 if you have an IRA, you have a 401k, that 0:06:38.510 --> 0:06:42.050 that means your retirement money is is growing by leaps 0:06:42.110 --> 0:06:45.770 and bounds. There's not a single Republican that supports this 0:06:45.890 --> 0:06:51.370 insane agenda. So start with the basics. Most Republicans, about 98, 0:06:51.370 --> 0:06:54.560 99 percent of them, you know, supported the largest tax 0:06:54.610 --> 0:06:59.230 cut in history. They supported secure borders. They don't want 0:06:59.310 --> 0:07:03.849 biological men playing women's sports. You know, again, start with 0:07:03.870 --> 0:07:07.860 the fundamentals. They believe in law and order and safety 0:07:07.900 --> 0:07:13.200 and security. They're not defund, dismantle, no bail, abolish prisons, insanity. 0:07:14.290 --> 0:07:16.930 So there's a lot on the line for everybody. So 0:07:17.010 --> 0:07:19.630 if you have this purity test and you say, well, 0:07:19.650 --> 0:07:22.310 I don't particularly love this candidate or that candidate, I 0:07:22.370 --> 0:07:25.470 probably would agree with you based on their record. But 0:07:25.530 --> 0:07:28.880 that's not what's on the ballot here. It's bigger than that. 0:07:29.390 --> 0:07:31.660 And I think people need to see the bigger picture. 0:07:32.300 --> 0:07:34.820 That's my humble opinion. But you do what you want. 0:07:35.500 --> 0:07:38.240 But there are enough people listening to this show that 0:07:38.260 --> 0:07:42.179 can make the difference and we can decide the outcome 0:07:42.220 --> 0:07:45.350 of a lot of these races. and save our country 0:07:45.390 --> 0:07:48.450 for our kids and our grandkids. I mean, we inherited 0:07:48.470 --> 0:07:53.810 a better country from our parents because of their sacrifice. 0:07:53.830 --> 0:07:55.890 My dad fought in World War II, four years in 0:07:55.930 --> 0:07:59.130 the Pacific. Didn't exactly love it. Grew up dirt poor, 0:07:59.150 --> 0:08:01.900 like my mother grew up dirt poor. And I know 0:08:01.940 --> 0:08:03.900 that any success I have in life is because I 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.040 stand on their shoulders. They stand on their parents' shoulders. 0:08:07.100 --> 0:08:09.800 All four of my grandparents came from Ireland. And now 0:08:09.860 --> 0:08:12.420 we owe it to the next generation to leave this 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.910 country alive in better shape than that which we found it. 0:08:15.950 --> 0:08:19.790 And this is now our opportunity. You know, I never thought, 0:08:20.670 --> 0:08:22.850 and we'll have Ken Paxton on the show and Darlene 0:08:22.890 --> 0:08:24.510 Graham on the show. I'm not taking any of these 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.400 races for granted. I'm not taking the free state of 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.220 Florida for granted. I'm not taking South Carolina for granted. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.599 Here you got a guy in Kansas running on a 0:08:32.660 --> 0:08:36.960 platform that we should repent and stop eating meat and 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.140 repent for using automobiles. And that's the Democratic candidate against 0:08:41.220 --> 0:08:45.670 Roger Marshall who, In the state of Kansas, this is insanity. 0:08:46.030 --> 0:08:49.010 And by the way, also a cattle state, or a 0:08:49.500 --> 0:08:52.600 six-gender Tallarico, or Talafrico, whatever you want to call them, 0:08:52.620 --> 0:08:56.280 whatever you prefer. You know, this guy, you know, everything 0:08:56.340 --> 0:08:58.500 now is on biblical grounds. We'll get into this later 0:08:58.540 --> 0:09:02.140 with Ken Paxton in more detail, but the Bible that 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:07.760 I read on biblical grounds talks about Jesus, the only 0:09:07.820 --> 0:09:12.160 begotten Son of God, the Father in heaven, that sacrificed 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.920 his life so that we can reconcile with God the Father, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.939 the ultimate sacrifice, and was beaten and humiliated and hung 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.740 from a cross and did so voluntarily as the ultimate 0:09:22.780 --> 0:09:26.700 sacrifice to reconcile mankind to God. If you believe that, 0:09:26.740 --> 0:09:30.180 this guy's throwing Jesus around and God around and biblical grounds. 0:09:30.380 --> 0:09:36.510 I don't remember God or Jesus, God the Father's Son 0:09:36.710 --> 0:09:39.560 that he sent to earth for our reconciliation. and to 0:09:39.620 --> 0:09:42.740 save us from our sins. We've all sinned and fallen short. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.640 I don't remember him teaching a prayer to his disciples 0:09:46.660 --> 0:09:51.630 that started with, our non-binary. Don't recall that. I remember 0:09:52.010 --> 0:09:56.189 our father. I think it's very clear what he was saying. 0:09:56.309 --> 0:09:59.469 I've read the book of Genesis many times, and God 0:09:59.550 --> 0:10:03.620 created us. man and women, not six genders. And the 0:10:03.700 --> 0:10:06.300 idea that Telefrico thinks he can now, oh, in the 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.640 last week and a half, two weeks, change his opinion. Oh, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.189 I didn't really mean that. Oh, my math was wrong. Oh, 0:10:11.210 --> 0:10:15.340 I misspoke. Now he's lecturing us. Let me play this cut. 0:10:15.540 --> 0:10:18.440 He says, when I fight for universal health care, I'm 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.990 doing it on biblical grounds. Well, on biblical grounds, Jesus 0:10:22.050 --> 0:10:24.510 taught us that the Lord's Prayer, I think the most 0:10:24.570 --> 0:10:27.950 important prayer, because it came right from Jesus' mouth to 0:10:27.990 --> 0:10:31.390 his disciples, starts with the words, Our Father. So we'll 0:10:31.490 --> 0:10:35.240 argue that on biblical grounds. And I'll argue on biblical 0:10:35.270 --> 0:10:40.480 grounds that Adam and Eve were the creations of God. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.679 And this guy wants biological men and women sports in 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.100 the state of Texas. He's running a vegan campaign in 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.400 a cattle state of Texas. He doesn't want any drilling 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.300 for oil in the oil state of Texas. I mean, 0:10:52.330 --> 0:10:55.430 this guy is so out of touch, and he's using 0:10:55.570 --> 0:10:58.910 Jesus and the Bible to push this message, which I find, frankly, 0:10:58.970 --> 0:11:00.030 very offensive. Listen. 0:11:00.470 --> 0:11:04.110 When Jesus healed the sick, he didn't ask for a deductible. 0:11:06.370 --> 0:11:10.059 So... So when I fight. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.160 For universal health care, I'm doing it on biblical grounds. 0:11:15.260 --> 0:11:18.910 When Jesus fed the hungry, he didn't price gouge to 0:11:18.970 --> 0:11:24.670 turn a profit. So when I say that no child 0:11:25.090 --> 0:11:27.250 in the state of Texas should go to bed hungry, 0:11:27.650 --> 0:11:30.030 I'm doing it on biblical grounds. 0:11:31.070 --> 0:11:31.670 And when the. 0:11:31.650 --> 0:11:36.550 Hebrew prophets saw corruption in high places, they spoke truth 0:11:37.130 --> 0:11:40.450 to power. So when I take on the politicians who 0:11:40.510 --> 0:11:43.550 are serving themselves and not the people, I am doing 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:44.980 it on biblical grounds. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.520 On biblical grounds, I remember the prayer starting with our father, 0:11:49.620 --> 0:11:54.160 not six genders, not non-binary. I remember the creation of 0:11:54.260 --> 0:11:56.780 man and women on biblical grounds. If we're going to 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.650 argue the Bible, I did study theology, Latin, went to 0:11:59.690 --> 0:12:02.010 a seminary, I'm not saying I'm the best Christian in 0:12:02.050 --> 0:12:04.250 the world, but an old thing or two about the Bible, 0:12:04.270 --> 0:12:07.150 it's the most important thing in my life. My faith, 0:12:07.309 --> 0:12:10.170 my belief in God the Father and Jesus his Son, 0:12:10.590 --> 0:12:12.729 and this guy doesn't get to rewrite it and use 0:12:12.770 --> 0:12:16.010 it as a political weapon without being challenged, especially on 0:12:16.050 --> 0:12:20.120 the authenticity and interpretation of such when he's so off. 0:12:20.940 --> 0:12:23.730 I mean, I can't believe it. I mentioned Kansas. Look 0:12:23.770 --> 0:12:28.829 at Telefrico. You look at Abdul El-Sayed. We've covered him exhaustively. 0:12:28.850 --> 0:12:31.560 You know, I'm looking at Darlene Graham who will join 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.760 us later in the show. I mean, running against a woman... 0:12:36.290 --> 0:12:40.970 that literally claims, you know, said about the Save Women's 0:12:41.070 --> 0:12:45.360 Sports Act that requiring public and private middle high school 0:12:45.420 --> 0:12:48.800 teams and sports to be designated based on biological sex. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.500 You know, she called the law shameful. This is a woman, 0:12:53.940 --> 0:12:57.699 a pediatrician, nonetheless. I don't think she's practicing. One of 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.459 the most outspoken advocates in the country for gender affirming care, 0:13:01.540 --> 0:13:08.020 supporting puberty blockers, hormone therapy. This is South Carolina. Telefrico 0:13:08.100 --> 0:13:12.569 is from Texas. You know, you got this megachurch, you know, 0:13:13.290 --> 0:13:18.250 preacher in Kansas, you know, repent for driving a car, 0:13:18.330 --> 0:13:22.980 repent and stop and refrain from eating meat. These people 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.980 are nuts. You know, Darlene Gramsbury, this woman is out 0:13:28.020 --> 0:13:30.380 there all over X. She's got a picture of herself. 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.360 Protect trans kids, you know, as a Latest 2023 on X. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.900 It's the G.D. Mother effing guns. South Carolina. I'm taking 0:13:41.179 --> 0:13:43.960 nothing for granted. And if you think that, well, well, 0:13:44.500 --> 0:13:47.199 your candidate, the Democratic candidate in your state, I think 0:13:47.220 --> 0:13:49.940 the perfect example would be Sherrod Brown in Ohio. He's 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.679 a phony or John Ossoff in Georgia. They they may 0:13:54.740 --> 0:13:57.160 not be running on the DSA, but they will not 0:13:57.220 --> 0:14:01.550 challenge them. I promise you, as evidenced by the only 0:14:01.730 --> 0:14:04.170 one that's been willing to challenge this radicalism in the 0:14:04.210 --> 0:14:08.870 Democratic Party that is elected is John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. 0:14:20.250 --> 0:14:24.310 I've even convinced Linda at this point that purity tests 0:14:24.570 --> 0:14:30.200 don't apply here. It's too important. I mean, if you 0:14:30.220 --> 0:14:35.090 love this country, you just have to accept that there 0:14:35.150 --> 0:14:38.730 are going to be imperfect Republicans, but they're not crazy. 0:14:39.790 --> 0:14:42.890 They're not DSA people. They're not open borders people. They're 0:14:42.910 --> 0:14:46.890 not higher taxes. Well, there's a couple, but generally speaking, 0:14:46.910 --> 0:14:51.940 they're not DSA people. Defund the police, wide open borders, 0:14:52.820 --> 0:14:56.570 higher taxes. No, that's not them. There's a lot to, 0:14:56.730 --> 0:15:00.900 you know, biological men playing women's sports. Start there. All right, 0:15:00.940 --> 0:15:01.740 quick break. Right back. 0:15:01.740 --> 0:15:36.360 25 years of stories, laughter, late nights and early mornings. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.080 And he says it never gets old. 0:15:39.300 --> 0:15:43.400 Thank you, Sean Hannity, for 25 great years. 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.180 Thanks to all of you. 25 now till the top 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.220 of the hour. 800-941-SEAN if you want to be part 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.420 of the program. So, Linda, I was asked today, USA 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.640 Today doing a profile on me. And by the end 0:15:57.660 --> 0:16:00.430 of the interview... He goes, well, I wrote this question, 0:16:00.550 --> 0:16:03.570 but I kind of got the answer. You think you'll 0:16:03.630 --> 0:16:08.160 ever retire? And I'm like, you know, no. When God 0:16:08.220 --> 0:16:09.120 makes me retire. 0:16:09.420 --> 0:16:11.560 Should we have a real conversation about how many times 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:12.780 we've had that conversation? 0:16:12.990 --> 0:16:14.930 Yeah, but I just, you know. 0:16:15.030 --> 0:16:16.210 You're never retiring. 0:16:17.130 --> 0:16:18.770 Why do people want to know that? 0:16:18.830 --> 0:16:20.850 I'm going to bury you with this microphone. I'm literally 0:16:20.870 --> 0:16:22.410 going to take the swing arm and put it in 0:16:22.430 --> 0:16:24.510 the casket and put it in your mausoleum. 0:16:24.590 --> 0:16:26.370 You put it in the casket and the mausoleum? 0:16:26.390 --> 0:16:28.130 In fact, I might just set the whole studio up 0:16:28.190 --> 0:16:29.810 in the mausoleum. So if at some point you. 0:16:29.750 --> 0:16:30.670 Want to talk to us from beyond. I'm going to 0:16:30.690 --> 0:16:32.170 change my will, by the way. I don't even want 0:16:32.190 --> 0:16:33.310 to have a memorial service. 0:16:34.030 --> 0:16:36.230 Why not? I got a whole thing planned. It's going 0:16:36.250 --> 0:16:36.730 to be great. 0:16:36.950 --> 0:16:37.910 Are you going to make it funny? 0:16:37.990 --> 0:16:39.410 Of course I'm going to make it funny. 0:16:39.430 --> 0:16:39.790 I'm Irish. 0:16:39.810 --> 0:16:40.630 You're not going to cry? 0:16:40.830 --> 0:16:42.030 We don't have feelings. We're Irish. 0:16:42.090 --> 0:16:42.330 Come on. 0:16:42.610 --> 0:16:43.250 It's going to be great. 0:16:43.730 --> 0:16:47.280 Well, when you go to an Irish wake... There's groups 0:16:47.340 --> 0:16:50.700 of people. There's no right or wrong way to mourn somebody. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.440 The brandy drinkers, the vodka drinkers. 0:16:52.540 --> 0:16:56.370 No, no, no. It would be the Irish whiskey drinkers. No, 0:16:56.390 --> 0:16:58.610 there's one. Well, there is that group of people. They 0:16:58.650 --> 0:17:02.590 do it. Oh, there's a shout to Joey. Joey, Brian. Brian, 0:17:02.630 --> 0:17:04.449 my man. My love. 0:17:04.890 --> 0:17:05.230 I love it. 0:17:05.580 --> 0:17:08.680 And then you got the whalers. You know, they just 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.639 cry the whole time. Then you got the ins and 0:17:10.700 --> 0:17:13.820 out people. They cry. They laugh. They cry. They laugh. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.730 And then you got the ones I can't handle. And 0:17:16.750 --> 0:17:19.649 we've talked about this before. The people that go up 0:17:20.350 --> 0:17:23.310 and awake in an open casket, which I think is 0:17:23.350 --> 0:17:25.680 the dumbest idea ever. I want to be remembered for 0:17:25.700 --> 0:17:28.699 who I am. Put me in the box and close it. 0:17:29.020 --> 0:17:30.820 What's the difference? You wear makeup in real life. You 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.879 wear makeup when you're dead. What's the difference? 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.609 I have to for television. Don't blame me for that. 0:17:36.270 --> 0:17:39.370 It's always hard explaining to my kids why their dad 0:17:39.390 --> 0:17:40.729 wears makeup for TV. 0:17:40.790 --> 0:17:41.990 Why is daddy powdering his nose? 0:17:42.010 --> 0:17:44.590 Because if you don't on TV, you look like a ghost. 0:17:44.730 --> 0:17:45.490 There's the answer. 0:17:46.070 --> 0:17:47.010 No, you look shiny. 0:17:48.030 --> 0:17:50.070 You look like a ghost. You just do. It's the 0:17:50.109 --> 0:17:53.659 way the lighting is, et cetera, et cetera. But the 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.860 people that go up to the casket, the open casket, 0:17:57.460 --> 0:18:00.439 and they touch and they hold the hand of the 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.790 dead person and they kiss the dead person. It freaks 0:18:05.210 --> 0:18:11.500 me out. You disclosed on this program, you're one of 0:18:11.540 --> 0:18:15.720 those creepy people. That is creepy. Yes. That is so creepy. 0:18:15.740 --> 0:18:18.200 It's not creepy. It's called weird. 0:18:18.460 --> 0:18:18.740 Listen. 0:18:19.300 --> 0:18:21.440 You should know of all people you went to seminary, 0:18:21.460 --> 0:18:23.820 you know, practicing Catholics. That's what we do. We go 0:18:23.940 --> 0:18:24.760 up during the wake. 0:18:24.859 --> 0:18:25.139 No. 0:18:25.460 --> 0:18:28.320 We kneel. We typically do in our father or him married. 0:18:28.340 --> 0:18:29.679 And I don't want to look at a dead body. 0:18:29.700 --> 0:18:31.550 I want to remember the problem is when I was 0:18:31.609 --> 0:18:33.210 a kid and I went to a wake for the 0:18:33.250 --> 0:18:36.250 first time for my uncle, Bob, I was like seven 0:18:36.270 --> 0:18:39.310 years old. And I just, I never got that image 0:18:39.390 --> 0:18:39.950 out of my head. 0:18:40.930 --> 0:18:41.350 What image? 0:18:41.850 --> 0:18:44.500 Of him laying in the casket. That's my, that's my 0:18:44.619 --> 0:18:47.220 main memory of him, him in the casket. 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.040 You have no living memories of him? 0:18:49.590 --> 0:18:52.250 I have them, but they're buried much deeper than the pic, 0:18:52.290 --> 0:18:55.330 the image of him laying in the casket dead. I'd 0:18:55.350 --> 0:18:55.970 have a stroke. 0:18:56.330 --> 0:18:57.330 Sounds like a you problem. 0:18:57.710 --> 0:18:59.270 No, it's not a you, me problem. I didn't want 0:18:59.290 --> 0:19:04.150 to touch a dead body. Don't, look, don't reverse this 0:19:05.390 --> 0:19:07.550 on me. You're the weirdo that wants to touch and 0:19:07.630 --> 0:19:08.430 kiss a dead body. 0:19:08.450 --> 0:19:10.720 First of all, I didn't say I wanted to touch it. 0:19:10.790 --> 0:19:12.050 I'm just saying. 0:19:12.210 --> 0:19:13.260 But you do do it. 0:19:13.310 --> 0:19:15.050 If I'm out awake, I'm going to go up. I'm 0:19:15.070 --> 0:19:15.710 going to kneel. 0:19:15.770 --> 0:19:16.090 Kneel. 0:19:16.150 --> 0:19:17.730 And I'm going to pay my respects. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:18.320 That's normal. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:18.540 Now. 0:19:19.030 --> 0:19:20.070 This is where it gets weird. 0:19:20.190 --> 0:19:23.690 Okay, take it easy. When it's like, you know, like 0:19:23.730 --> 0:19:24.930 my grandmother, my. 0:19:24.869 --> 0:19:28.050 Grandfather, somebody who's, you know, like my mama. 0:19:28.090 --> 0:19:31.870 My papa, it was very sad. I'm definitely probably like 0:19:31.970 --> 0:19:33.929 my mama, you know, she had a rosary in her 0:19:33.950 --> 0:19:36.189 hands and I touched the rosary in her hands. And 0:19:36.230 --> 0:19:38.139 I will say it's sad because it's cold and you 0:19:38.180 --> 0:19:39.260 know their spirits moved on. 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.760 The rosary was cold or you touched the hand? 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.840 Everything was cold. It was just cold. But, you know, 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:44.780 it's sad. 0:19:44.900 --> 0:19:47.720 Okay, so you've touched dead bodies and you've kissed dead bodies. 0:19:47.780 --> 0:19:48.260 True or false? 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:49.220 It's a true statement. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.359 Weird. That's very strange. That's very bizarre to me. 0:19:53.700 --> 0:19:55.360 Listen. To each his own. 0:19:55.660 --> 0:19:58.359 I digress. You know, there's a part of me getting 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.600 excited about... Look, in 35 days, you're either going to 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:07.530 be jazzed because Donald Trump and Republicans will shock the world. 0:20:08.530 --> 0:20:08.609 Or. 0:20:09.380 --> 0:20:12.400 you're going to be, oh no, what just happened? 0:20:12.780 --> 0:20:14.119 Look at that text I just sent you. 0:20:14.140 --> 0:20:15.880 So we had a list. Did you see it? Yeah, 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:16.480 I'm going to get to that. 0:20:16.500 --> 0:20:17.080 Well done, right? 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.780 Well, very well done. So it's either going to be 0:20:20.380 --> 0:20:25.560 Fox News can project that Republicans have held the majority 0:20:25.700 --> 0:20:28.880 in the House of Representatives and they have even gained 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:34.320 their majority in the Senate. That could happen. Or it's 0:20:34.350 --> 0:20:37.740 going to be Fox News can project that That the DSA, 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.619 they won't say it this way, but, you know, the 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:43.530 Democratic Party now has control and a majority in the 0:20:43.570 --> 0:20:49.710 House and, God forbid, the Senate. That could happen. So understand, 0:20:49.830 --> 0:20:53.930 what do you want to hear 35 nights from now? 0:20:54.750 --> 0:20:59.320 Because it's game time. I personally would love to hear 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.980 Fox News can now project Republicans have held their majority 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.320 in the House and the Senate. and they've gained on 0:21:07.340 --> 0:21:10.600 their majority. Now, it goes against historical trends. I am 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.899 not giving you false hope. I'm saying that you can 0:21:13.980 --> 0:21:17.979 shock the world, and there's enough people listening to this 0:21:18.020 --> 0:21:20.899 show every day to make the difference. We have on 0:21:20.940 --> 0:21:23.419 our website to help inform you, because it's hard to 0:21:23.660 --> 0:21:27.590 remember all the crazy DSA lists that's on their website. 0:21:27.770 --> 0:21:31.950 So we have, as a public service, you can download 0:21:31.990 --> 0:21:35.060 it from my website, carry it in your pocket, All 0:21:35.100 --> 0:21:38.320 of Donald Trump's and the Republicans, as weak as some 0:21:38.340 --> 0:21:41.220 of them are, they've accomplished a lot. And not as 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.340 much as I want. No, I want the SAVE Act. 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.680 I still want it. We have a bigger majority. Maybe 0:21:45.700 --> 0:21:47.939 we can get it done. You know what? But he 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.350 secured the borders. Largest tax cut in history. Iran will 0:21:51.390 --> 0:21:53.550 never have a nuclear weapon. He doesn't get enough credit 0:21:53.570 --> 0:21:54.470 for that. And we're going to get to that in 0:21:54.510 --> 0:21:56.429 a second. I want to remind you, you need a 0:21:56.470 --> 0:21:59.790 safety security strategy. In some cases, somebody wants to kill you, 0:21:59.890 --> 0:22:02.800 kill your family. Well, only one option will work in 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.179 that case. And that is the lethal option. But the 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.700 FBI tells us the last year they have statistics for it, 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:12.590 that's 2022. That's only 0.01% of the time. Now, that's 0:22:12.630 --> 0:22:17.189 where Berner comes in. B-Y-R-N-A dot com, where they come in. 0:22:17.230 --> 0:22:20.080 Please look at their videos online. I mean, you don't 0:22:20.100 --> 0:22:22.159
