Speaker 1: I new is fround the information overload. Our toll free
Speaker 1: art number is height one hundred and nine to fourt
Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program. The President said that the Department of Education
Speaker 1: will be shut down, but that does not mean. What
Speaker 1: it really means is there are better, more efficient ways
Speaker 1: to educate our kids. It's really that simple. Now, Whether
Speaker 1: it's vouchers where parents are giving given money directly and
Speaker 1: they get to choose what schools they're going to send
Speaker 1: their kids to. I guarantee it the schools they're going
Speaker 1: to want to send their kids to, the schools that
Speaker 1: teach reading, writing, math, science and history and put kids
Speaker 1: in uniforms and have discipline, and I'm pretty sure those
Speaker 1: are the schools most parents would pick. Or whether it's vouchers,
Speaker 1: letting you know, state and local officials handle it, although
Speaker 1: I think there'd be a lot of waste for aud
Speaker 1: abuse on the state level, especially in big blue states.
Speaker 1: We spend more per capita for a child on education
Speaker 1: than any industrialized country. We have the worst results, I
Speaker 1: mean more than any other country, and we come in
Speaker 1: like thirty seventh in reading and forty of the math.
Speaker 2: It's pathetic it is.
Speaker 1: You can't do a worse job, and I believe a
Speaker 1: lot of it's rooted in this unholy alliance between the teachers'
Speaker 1: unions and the Democratic Party. Here's the president calling for
Speaker 1: the Department of Education to be shut down soon.
Speaker 2: Do you want the Department of Education to be closed?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the
Speaker 3: Department of Education's a big conjob. We're ranked so they
Speaker 3: ranked the top forty countries in the world. We're ranked
Speaker 3: number fortieth, but we're ranked number one in one department
Speaker 3: costs per pupil, so we spend more for pupil than
Speaker 3: any other country in the world. But we're ranked number forty.
Speaker 3: We've been between thirty eight and forty. The last time
Speaker 3: I looked it was thirty eight, and then I looked
Speaker 3: two days ago it came out the new list. It
Speaker 3: came out at number forty. So we're ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden.
Speaker 3: I hate to say it. China, as big as it is,
Speaker 3: it's ranked in the top five, and that's our that's
Speaker 3: a primary competitor. We're ranked number forty. So if we're
Speaker 3: ranked number forty, that means something's really wrong.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that means something's very raw, especially with the
Speaker 1: amount of money we're spending. Nicholas here Donald's with US
Speaker 1: Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow and professor of political science
Speaker 1: at Suffolk Community College that's out in Long Island, New York.
Speaker 1: He's the host of the PAS Report podcast. Erica Donalds
Speaker 1: is with US faculty at the Leadership Institute, CEO of
Speaker 1: Optimum ED and the America First Policy Institute. By the way,
Speaker 1: happens to be married to our friend and a friend
Speaker 1: of the program, Congressman Byron Doneals, welcome both of you.
Speaker 1: Erica will start with you, and you know, listen to
Speaker 1: what the President has said.
Speaker 2: That means to me.
Speaker 1: The latter to success in life is education, and we
Speaker 1: are failing our kids spectacularly, even though we spend more
Speaker 1: money than any industrialized country.
Speaker 2: This's got to be a better way. I know there
Speaker 2: are better ways.
Speaker 1: We've talked for decades about vouchers, I at block rants
Speaker 1: to the states. It never happens. I think now what's
Speaker 1: going to happen.
Speaker 4: It is going to happen, and I believe Donald Trump
Speaker 4: is going to be the school choice president. I was
Speaker 4: at the White House at his school Choice round table
Speaker 4: just a couple of weeks ago, where he expressed support
Speaker 4: for school choice initiatives at the federal level, including the
Speaker 4: Education Choice for Children Act, which could show up in reconciliation.
Speaker 4: As you probably know, but the Department of Education has
Speaker 4: done nothing to advance academic achievement in this country. It
Speaker 4: has wasted untold amounts of money. We're finding out about
Speaker 4: a lot of those details now as DEI programs are
Speaker 4: being exposed and cuts, thankfully, and there are better places
Speaker 4: for things to go in the federal department, such as
Speaker 4: the Justice Department handling the Office of Civil Rights. Hopefully
Speaker 4: we move the student loans off to the private sector,
Speaker 4: not even moving those to Treasury. But certainly we want
Speaker 4: to execute on the President's vision to eliminate the failed
Speaker 4: Department of Education and expand school choice across our country,
Speaker 4: to give parents the choices that they deserve for what
Speaker 4: academic environment is going to work that's for their children.
Speaker 1: No, it's so important to what you're saying, and you're
Speaker 1: right on every level. It is amazing that our state
Speaker 1: of Florida has the number one is ranked number one
Speaker 1: in terms of public school education, and it doesn't even
Speaker 1: have a state income tax. It is pretty spectacular and
Speaker 1: a great achievement of Governor DeSantis and Rick Scott before him,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure if if Byron runs, he would continue that.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Nicholas, let's get your take.
Speaker 5: Well, in your previous home state of New York, we
Speaker 5: spend about thirty.
Speaker 2: Thousand by the way, put the keyword on previous.
Speaker 5: We spent thirty thousand dollars a year to educate a student,
Speaker 5: and yet we performed twice below the basic proficiency levels
Speaker 5: in the national assessment. So you see where it goes.
Speaker 5: But the Department of.
Speaker 1: And by the way, in New York City it's even more.
Speaker 1: It's thirty six grand per student, correct, going up.
Speaker 5: To thirty nine thousand person in the next fiscal year.
Speaker 5: But when you look at it, the Department Education has
Speaker 5: spent over a billion dollars on diversity, equity inclusion over
Speaker 5: the last couple of years, two hundred million of which
Speaker 5: went to counseling programs for microaggressions, whiteness, white privilege, anti racism,
Speaker 5: as student proficiency rates have plummeted. So it's the Department
Speaker 5: of Education has become nothing more than a racket to
Speaker 5: fund money to left wing organizations to indoctrinate our children,
Speaker 5: and I think that the American people are sick and tired.
Speaker 5: Are spending more money than any other country to educate students,
Speaker 5: and yet we keep on dropping in the proficiency rankings,
Speaker 5: and it gets even worse at the higher education level
Speaker 5: campus form. We've reported how the government is funding colleges
Speaker 5: to develop tools five point five million dollars going to
Speaker 5: a University of Wisconsin and a few other colleges to
Speaker 5: develop tools to silence and censor Americans. Enough is enough
Speaker 5: with the wasting of tax dollars. We need an education
Speaker 5: system that actually promotes American values. American exceptionalism teaches students
Speaker 5: how to read and write, and getting rid of the
Speaker 5: Department of Education is just one small piece of fixing
Speaker 5: the problems that we're seeing. We need to get rid
Speaker 5: of the ideologically driven curricula. We need to institute school
Speaker 5: choice where people aren't held hostage by their zip code
Speaker 5: and could choose a succeeding school as opposed to the
Speaker 5: failing school. And we need to demand accountability. And I
Speaker 5: think that's the most important thing that this administration is
Speaker 5: seeking to do, where block grants will flow with student achievement.
Speaker 5: If the school's not performing, they should not be receiving
Speaker 5: more money from the tax dollar from the taxpayers. And
Speaker 5: if they're teaching anti Americanism within their schools, well why
Speaker 5: are we funding that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you raise such a good point, and Eric,
Speaker 1: I'll go back to you. I mean the word education.
Speaker 1: And I went to a seminary in high school and
Speaker 1: I had to study Latin, although I was never any
Speaker 1: good at it, and I studied theology and I went
Speaker 1: to Mass every day and then actually ended up being
Speaker 1: a very good thing in my life. And the real
Speaker 1: derivative of education from the Latin means to bring forth
Speaker 1: from with it. To me, that's predicated on an idea
Speaker 1: that God put talent and every child on this earth,
Speaker 1: and you've got to provide the sunlight, the water to
Speaker 1: bring that talent out of them. And this is where
Speaker 1: education has failed.
Speaker 2: And I'm not.
Speaker 1: Saying that kids shouldn't have to study and memorize, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I am saying that we're not finding their
Speaker 1: talents and we're not building those talents and nurturing those
Speaker 1: talents so that they turn that into a way to
Speaker 1: be their best self.
Speaker 2: Later in life. Is that a fair analysis, Absolutely.
Speaker 4: And our schools are monopoly of public education has been
Speaker 4: utilitarian for many years. It is not bringing out the
Speaker 4: best passions of a child to help them succeed in life.
Speaker 4: It's not teaching them cultural literacy to take forward our
Speaker 4: republic to the next generation. So it's not achieving even
Speaker 4: the aims of education in the as you just referred to.
Speaker 4: We used to say they were test preparation factories, but
Speaker 4: they're not even doing that anymore, as we've seen in
Speaker 4: the NAPE scores of the national report cards, where half
Speaker 4: of our students are failing and only a third are
Speaker 4: actually reading and doing mathematics on grade level. So it's
Speaker 4: failed in every sense of the term. And Nicholas hit
Speaker 4: the point every parent needs the opportunity to choose a
Speaker 4: school that is working best for their child. But more importantly,
Speaker 4: that will give rise to a free market that's going
Speaker 4: to bring new innovation, access and the type of schools
Speaker 4: that you and I are looking for for our children
Speaker 4: and grandchildren out into the marketplace when we eliminate the
Speaker 4: education monopoly that's currently in place.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break right back.
Speaker 1: We'll continue more with Nicholas Giordano and Eric adnald Is
Speaker 1: on the other side, as Donald Trump now pledging to
Speaker 1: eliminate the Department of Education and what does that mean
Speaker 1: for parents? What does that mean for states.
Speaker 6: Education?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd like it to be closed and made the
Speaker 3: look the Department of Education is a big CONJAB. We're
Speaker 3: ranked so they ranked the top forty countries.
Speaker 2: In the world.
Speaker 3: We're ranked number fortieth, but we're ranked number one in
Speaker 3: one department costs per pupil, so we spend more for
Speaker 3: pupil than any other country in the world. But we're
Speaker 3: ranked number forty. We've been between thirty eight and forty.
Speaker 3: The last time I looked it was thirty eight, and
Speaker 3: then I looked two days ago it came out the
Speaker 3: new list. It came out at number forty. So we're
Speaker 3: ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, I hate to say it.
Speaker 3: China as big as it is, it's ranked in the
Speaker 3: top five and that's our that's a primary competitor. We're
Speaker 3: ranked number forty. So if we're ranked number forty, that
Speaker 3: means something's really wrong, right right.
Speaker 1: Our final moments with Nicholas Giordano and Erica Donalds, as
Speaker 1: we discuss you know, the disaster that is the American
Speaker 1: educational system and President Trump's desire to get rid of
Speaker 1: the Department of Education and block reant money and vouchers
Speaker 1: to of families and states and let local municipalities do
Speaker 1: a better job with it. A while back, and maybe Nicholas,
Speaker 1: you'll find this interesting. A while back, I ran into
Speaker 1: a young person who had a dream and a desire
Speaker 1: for a certain profession. I don't want to give too
Speaker 1: many clues away here. I don't want them to know
Speaker 1: I'm talking about them, to be honest. And this person,
Speaker 1: you know, had decent, good, you know, decent grades in
Speaker 1: high school, went to college four years and it was
Speaker 1: obvious that this dream was never going to come to
Speaker 1: fruition based on you know, practice testing, etc. For advancement.
Speaker 1: And I literally asked this person, do you know how
Speaker 1: to study? And I happen to know somebody that is
Speaker 1: probably one of the greatest tutors of all time. And
Speaker 1: here's a person that had gone through gotten a full
Speaker 1: college degree, and it ended up the person's very, very bright,
Speaker 1: but the person never learned how to study, you know,
Speaker 1: twelve years of school, four years of you know, college,
Speaker 1: and they still couldn't study for a fundamental exam, you know,
Speaker 1: when they want to pick up a specific profession, and
Speaker 1: it took a little outside help to get them over
Speaker 1: the hump. But I mean, I mean, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of kids today. I don't think I'm overstating that, am.
Speaker 5: I You're not overstating it. The truth is that our
Speaker 5: education system has devolved into one that's simply cycle students through.
Speaker 5: Whether or not they mastered the material is irrelevant. They
Speaker 5: just get pushed on and on and on, and then
Speaker 5: we created this myth that in order to be successful,
Speaker 5: everyone has to go to college, when the truth is,
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, in my classroom, I have about fifty
Speaker 5: percent minority students. Yet every student, almost every student, fails
Speaker 5: the Citizenship exam when I give it the first day
Speaker 5: of the semester. And it really is a sad state
Speaker 5: of affairs when the students know little about the country
Speaker 5: that they come from. You know. Common Core was implemented
Speaker 5: coerce to the States by the Department of Education in
Speaker 5: twenty ten based on the idea it's going to improve students'
Speaker 5: critical thinking skills, that they're going to perform better on exams.
Speaker 5: We have the data. It failed. It was a miserable failure.
Speaker 5: Student proficiency is at the lowest levels. Students don't know
Speaker 5: as much as they used to and they are unable
Speaker 5: to think critically. So we have to get to the
Speaker 5: root of a problem because as the world's sole superpower,
Speaker 5: how long can we remain that way? If we have
Speaker 5: a bunch of students that are graduating yet they can't read, write,
Speaker 5: or think, they can't solve problems. And that's what it's become.
Speaker 5: That's the challenge that we face, and we need serious
Speaker 5: people to make serious reforms and fix this problem before
Speaker 5: it's too late.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree with you. You know, there was
Speaker 1: an interesting article Eric that I think you en buyer
Speaker 1: would find interesting about, you know, the next generation of
Speaker 1: millionaires and you know who they were talking about, trades people.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine? I mean, and I've encouraged.
Speaker 1: Young people that don't like school, they don't like studying,
Speaker 1: they don't like they don't like regurgitation, they love working
Speaker 1: with their hands. I enjoyed the ten years I spent
Speaker 1: in the construction business. I loved my time in the
Speaker 1: restaurant business. That was twenty years of my life doing
Speaker 1: both and is the best thing I think I ever did.
Speaker 1: And then I got behind a radio microphone and the
Speaker 1: light goes on and to change my life. But you
Speaker 1: know that was serendipitous, that that was not by design.
Speaker 1: But long story short, I think that that's got to
Speaker 1: be a consideration too. We don't ever even factor that anymore. Well,
Speaker 1: you got to go to college. You got to go
Speaker 1: to college. And I was as guilty as any parent
Speaker 1: because I insisted my kids go to college, whether they
Speaker 1: liked it or not.
Speaker 4: Well, and many parents are waking up this, especially with
Speaker 4: a level of anti Semitism that is on college campuses.
Speaker 4: Parents are looking for alternatives for their children to succeed
Speaker 4: in life, whether that means going through trades or being
Speaker 4: entrepreneurs themselves. American ingenuity and capitalism is what made us
Speaker 4: the leader of the free world. And not unleash that
Speaker 4: ingenuity and innovation in the education space, we will continue
Speaker 4: to fall further and further behind. As Nicholas said, we
Speaker 4: cannot be the world leader. We cannot continue to maintain
Speaker 4: our place in the world if we cannot educate our children.
Speaker 4: We have already fallen too far behind, and we have
Speaker 4: to bring a free market, capitalistic principles into education, give
Speaker 4: parents power and eliminate the monopoly and bureaucracy in order
Speaker 4: to propel us forward.
Speaker 1: I appreciate what both of you are doing, and you're
Speaker 1: raising the level of conversation. We can approach like everything else,
Speaker 1: national defense, peace in the world, energy, border security and safety,
Speaker 1: law and order. We have to look at everything anew
Speaker 1: and fresh, with fresh set of eyes and innovative ideas.
Speaker 1: Nicholas Jordonald, Thank you erica' donald's. We always appreciate you
Speaker 1: coming back. Thank you for being with us. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine to four one. Sean is our number. If you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: Breaking news all afternoon.
Speaker 1: When you get off work, be sure to check in
Speaker 1: first for everything you missed during the day.
Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to our busy phones. So many have
Speaker 1: you been so patient today? Doug is in Louisiana. Doug,
Speaker 1: thank you for your patience. Glad you hung in there,
Speaker 1: and what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Thanks Sean. Look, I think we've officially moved from Trump
Speaker 6: derangement syndrome to Musk derangement syndrome. It's obvious that those
Speaker 6: on the left have just absolutely lost their mind where
Speaker 6: Elon Musk is concerned. And I think that's nowhere more
Speaker 6: evident than them saying that he is not qualified to
Speaker 6: be running DOGE when I think that he's possibly the
Speaker 6: singlely most qualified individual on the planet to be doing
Speaker 6: this job. And I think what he did at Or
Speaker 6: is just proof of that. You know, he comes in,
Speaker 6: he buys one of the most successful companies on the
Speaker 6: face of the earth, and then within an incredibly short
Speaker 6: period of time I analyze this, the situation, synthesizes that
Speaker 6: information and then cuts eighty percent of the workforce.
Speaker 5: And I don't know.
Speaker 6: About you, my tweet still went out after eighty percent
Speaker 6: of the workforce was gone, you know, no loss of productivity,
Speaker 6: no loss of efficiency. So the guy obviously is very
Speaker 6: very good at what he does, and he's doing it
Speaker 6: for us, the American people.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is amazing. And one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I was so happy to do this interview is because, look,
Speaker 1: there were obligatory questions that if I didn't ask, the
Speaker 1: media would go crazy. Right, what do you do if
Speaker 1: there's a conflict. I already knew the answer, but I
Speaker 1: have to ask it. But and it's a fair question.
Speaker 1: To be honest, that is a fair question. I always
Speaker 1: thought it was a stupid question, but I knew if
Speaker 1: I didn't ask. But you know, the media, Hannity didn't
Speaker 1: ask the most important question, who's in charge. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll ask the stupid question, but just to get it
Speaker 1: out of the way. And there were a few other
Speaker 1: you know, are you going to take grandma and Grandpa's
Speaker 1: Social Security away?
Speaker 2: And and no, the answer is no.
Speaker 1: And but beyond that, that's not what fascinated me and
Speaker 1: interested me the most about him. The fact that he's
Speaker 1: doing this for free. And we got into in this
Speaker 1: interview which we played part you know, more of it today,
Speaker 1: part to today, and that is his desire to advance humankind.
Speaker 1: You know, not many of us wake up in the
Speaker 1: morning and start thinking about, you know, how we can
Speaker 1: put plants on Mars and put men and women on Mars.
Speaker 1: Most of us don't wake up in the morning figuring out, well,
Speaker 1: how can we have communications in one hundred countries that
Speaker 1: are only have you know, sporadic communication capability?
Speaker 2: And that what starlink does.
Speaker 1: You know, most of us can never be the chief
Speaker 1: engineer of SpaceX and figure out a way to retrieve,
Speaker 1: retrieve the rocket as it's landing on Earth, so you
Speaker 1: can reuse this thing and save a fortune. You know,
Speaker 1: nobody really has ever gone as deep into robotics and
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence and this whole project of neural link that
Speaker 1: he's involved in, which might be able to He's hopeful.
Speaker 1: He seemed very hopeful, actually, like inspiringly hopeful, that that
Speaker 1: might be able to help the blind to see again,
Speaker 1: or people with spinal cord injuries to walk again. And
Speaker 1: then he'll work for free. And the President said this
Speaker 1: is the most important work he'll ever do, because he's
Speaker 1: and then he went into this long explanation about how
Speaker 1: we need to save our country. And as I'm listening
Speaker 1: back to this, and I remember sitting there kind of like, Wow,
Speaker 1: We're lucky to have people like him in our country
Speaker 1: that are willing to serve in spite of all of
Speaker 1: the name calling and cursing and singing and ranting and
Speaker 1: raving and raging that has gone on and hysteria that
Speaker 1: has been associated with him, you know, trying to get
Speaker 1: this country's but budget under control so we don't rob
Speaker 1: from our kids and grandkids and stop robbing from the
Speaker 1: American people.
Speaker 2: That's what fascinated me. Did you find the same thing?
Speaker 6: Absolutely? And you know, one of the signs of a
Speaker 6: great leaders to surround yourself with people that are smarter
Speaker 6: than you are. And that's exactly what President Trump has
Speaker 6: done in this case. He's surrounding himself with the best
Speaker 6: of the best. And the fact that the left continues
Speaker 6: to fight against it. If we cannot agree on getting
Speaker 6: way rid of waste and fraud and abuse in our
Speaker 6: federal government, I don't know what we'll ever agree on.
Speaker 6: It's maddening to me that they are screaming and moaning
Speaker 6: about this. It just shows how far they have gone.
Speaker 6: They've they've they've They're completely off the charts.
Speaker 2: It really are.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, actually it really is. Doug Louisiana. I appreciate
Speaker 1: your patience here. You made great comments. Thank you for
Speaker 1: being out there. We were grateful to all of you.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul in Texas. God bless Texas. What's up, Paul?
Speaker 1: How are you glad?
Speaker 2: You called?
Speaker 6: Are Hey? Sean? So I'm going to start out by
Speaker 6: saying you migrated from New York to Florida. I migrated
Speaker 6: from Illinois to Texas, and like you.
Speaker 2: You made a good choice.
Speaker 1: Texas was definitely in my eyesight, there was no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. I just I just like being near the
Speaker 1: water a little bit more probably than you do.
Speaker 6: I got you. I feel like I have moved to
Speaker 6: a different country. It's just spectacular.
Speaker 1: So by the way, I feel the same way. And
Speaker 1: I explained, you know, I'll tell you what I explained.
Speaker 1: I've had many friends now come visit me, especially during
Speaker 1: the winter months, and they come here and they're like,
Speaker 1: what the hell am I staying up there?
Speaker 2: For? What am I doing? And they see and I
Speaker 2: live in a townhouse.
Speaker 1: I don't even live And you know, I used to
Speaker 1: have this big, sprawling, six and a half acre spread
Speaker 1: in Long Island, New York. I don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't want it. And trust me, I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: And I just like waking up. I like being able
Speaker 1: to sleep with my windows and doors open, don't worry
Speaker 1: I'm protecting myself and not have to and feel, you know,
Speaker 1: a cool breeze at night and not be freezing my you.
Speaker 6: Know what off I totally agree. And when it's when
Speaker 6: it's eighty degrees in February and blue sunny skies, and
Speaker 6: I'm not them. I go, yeah, it's it's it's amazing.
Speaker 6: It's just amazing. I wish I had moved down here
Speaker 6: thirty years ago. And that's that's the purpose of my
Speaker 6: phone call today. I have a campaign strategy. I want
Speaker 6: to share it with you and just get your thoughts.
Speaker 6: So my opinion, Republicans have never had a greater opportunity
Speaker 6: to make inroads into the inner cities. Why for thirty
Speaker 6: years I've lived in Chicago and the Democratic policies have
Speaker 6: failed those citizens. And now you see what's coming out
Speaker 6: with Doge. You're finding the tax dollars wasted a going
Speaker 6: across the globe and not to our own citizens in
Speaker 6: our own cities. This is unacceptable. So here's my thought.
Speaker 6: You have a non traditional strategy in twenty four where
Speaker 6: the President and JD went on podcasts and it paid
Speaker 6: off in earning many votes. My non traditional campaign strategy
Speaker 6: for twenty five is right now, the President and JD
Speaker 6: should be holding rallies in the inner cities of the
Speaker 6: blue swing stakes. Start right now and do it. In
Speaker 6: twenty five, twenty six, and twenty seven, there are many
Speaker 6: votes that can be earned in twenty eight in these
Speaker 6: traditionally blue cities that have not been available before. Here's
Speaker 6: how I see it, really simple. These blue cities and
Speaker 6: citizens are now powder cakes. They are primed for change,
Speaker 6: and the Democrats, with their bad policies and the subsequent
Speaker 6: doage findings have gifted Republicans of the powder to blow
Speaker 6: up the map. Here would be my act, as you
Speaker 6: were in conversations with the powers to be. Don't fly
Speaker 6: over those blue cities and those blue states anymore. I
Speaker 6: left them, but I know what's going on there, and
Speaker 6: I think there are votes to be found for two
Speaker 6: thousand and eight, but we got to do the work
Speaker 6: today twenty five twenty.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad idea. However, I would
Speaker 1: say this the problem with states like California, New York,
Speaker 1: and Illinois, and I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Even include New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I think New Jersey might have a glimmer of hope
Speaker 1: and your strategy could be successful. I would hope that
Speaker 1: the same would be for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and
Speaker 1: I put them on the map, I'd add them to
Speaker 1: the You know what, we gotta get to work the
Speaker 1: problem that we face, and I have articles about New
Speaker 1: York today. For example, in New York they are now
Speaker 1: going to require in newly constructed homes that contractors, you know,
Speaker 1: put in a sprinkler mandate. Now I know because when
Speaker 1: I had a home in Long Island, I had a
Speaker 1: sprinkler mandate when I did some construction on the third
Speaker 1: floor of my home. And it costs up fortunate because
Speaker 1: it costs as much as thirty grand to put this
Speaker 1: in a house, and that it's killing the opportunity of people.
Speaker 1: It's like attacks on people. And most homes don't need
Speaker 1: sprinkler systems. They just don't. And it's too costly, you know.
Speaker 1: And this is the type of thing that has chased
Speaker 1: people away. And the people that might be more otherwise
Speaker 1: more open to new ideas are not going there because
Speaker 1: they've left people like me. You know, I had one
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo. It's not personal if you are one of
Speaker 1: those conserve it is that is, you know, pro life
Speaker 1: and pro sect assault weapon. And he says anti gay.
Speaker 1: I'm not anti gay. I'm not anti anybody. Live your
Speaker 1: own life. You're an adult. I don't care.
Speaker 2: You know, you're not in New Yorker, and you have
Speaker 2: no place in the state of New York.
Speaker 4: They have no place in the state of New York citizens.
Speaker 1: That's not who New Yorkers are.
Speaker 7: And we're here to say that the era of Trump
Speaker 7: and Zelden and mon Arrow. Just jump on a bus
Speaker 7: and head down to Florida where you belonged. Okay, get
Speaker 7: out of town. Get out of town because you don't read,
Speaker 7: you don't represent our values. You are not New Yorkers.
Speaker 2: All right, I guess I fit that definition, don't I.
Speaker 6: That's that's just insane. You just played and Sean, I'll
Speaker 6: give it to you. Maybe it's not New York, Illinois, California,
Speaker 6: But is it Virginia?
Speaker 5: Is it Michigan?
Speaker 6: Is it Arizona? Is it Nevada?
Speaker 1: We prove we can win Michigan. We prove we can
Speaker 1: win Pennsylvania. We prove we can win Wisconsin. We prove
Speaker 1: we can win Nevada. We prove we can win Arizona
Speaker 1: and Georgia and North Carolina. But these states are closer
Speaker 1: that I would like.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: As as this migration, remember the migration has not stopped,
Speaker 1: it slowed since COVID, but baby boomers are still working.
Speaker 1: So you've got at least another ten, twelve, fifteen years
Speaker 1: of migration where people are going to retire and they're
Speaker 1: going to take their money and they're going to sell
Speaker 1: their homes, and they're going to go to states like
Speaker 1: yours and states like mine and Tennessee and the Carolinas,
Speaker 1: and they're going to get out of Dodge and then
Speaker 1: they're going to go to Nevada and they're going to
Speaker 1: go to Arizona and they're going to leave. And they're
Speaker 1: going to leave for a variety of reasons, not the
Speaker 1: least which is to save money.
Speaker 6: Right, so, a safety, security, and prosperity. I think that's
Speaker 6: it's really simple. That's that's why I packed up in
Speaker 6: Barbara streisand said she was going to Europe, and people
Speaker 6: talked about going to Canada or you know that. I
Speaker 6: packed up my family and we left Illinois and moved
Speaker 6: to Texas because of what was going on in the
Speaker 6: state of the communist state of Illinois. So we're thrilled
Speaker 6: to be here. And we think Revernor rabbits doing a
Speaker 6: great cho.
Speaker 2: I love Governor Abbit, I think he's awesome. I think
Speaker 2: he's great.
Speaker 1: And my Governor DeSantis is great too, And you know,
Speaker 1: then you have other governors. No, I'm going to forget some,
Speaker 1: but I mean there we we do have great Republican
Speaker 1: governors in the country and real leaders, and you know,
Speaker 1: especially well Governor DeSantis and Governor Abbot and I did
Speaker 1: in term it was the greatest political jiu jitsu move
Speaker 1: ever when they took illegal immigrants that they denied were
Speaker 1: actually coming into the country because they lied inside the
Speaker 1: country was the borders were secure and closed. And then
Speaker 1: they said, okay, really, well, fine, you're a sanctuary city,
Speaker 1: you're a sanctuary state. We're going to send your beloved
Speaker 1: illegals to you. And they they spent money, but they
Speaker 1: saved a fortune in the end, and they sent them
Speaker 1: to New York City in California. My favorite was Governor DeSantis.
Speaker 1: And when did he send them to Mantha's vineyard? By
Speaker 1: the way, they were off that island and left less
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Amazing.
Speaker 1: Liberals are you know, the generous with other people's money.
Speaker 1: You know, they're all they're all pro sanctuary city and
Speaker 1: town and state, except if it's theirs then then they
Speaker 1: want no part of it.
Speaker 2: You raise great points.
Speaker 1: I think it's your long term strategy is a good one,
Speaker 1: and I think we, you know, let's get the country fixed.
Speaker 1: They'll have plenty of time for campaigning. We're going to
Speaker 1: be back in a year, will be in campaign mode again,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, for the midterms, and we're going
Speaker 1: to need everybody's help again, everybody's help anyway. God bless you,
Speaker 1: God bless Texas. Eight hundred and nine foot one Sean
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: This country was founded on freedom. Freedom from a country
Speaker 1: that forced us to buy overpriced tea and then tried
Speaker 1: blockading us when we dumped their tea into the ocean.
Speaker 2: It didn't work out.
Speaker 1: Well, well, it's time to throw your overpriced, big wireless contract.
Speaker 2: Talks. Some prayers go to the.
