1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: of you for being with us. 3 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 2: Toll free. 4 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Our number is eight hundred and nine four one sean 5 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 6 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: All right, So did you put up the poll yet? 7 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: We're going to put up a poll on Hannity dot com. 8 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 3: I was going to do it after we announced at 9 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 3: three o'clock, but let's do it right now, do it 10 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 3: right now before you announced, before I announce it. Let's 11 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 3: let's get the authentic response. 12 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: Well that means well, okay. 13 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: So you know, because we went through this in twenty 14 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: fifteen and sixteen, and you know, some candidates felt we 15 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: were playing favorites, and you know, the tendency is to 16 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: cover the people that are much higher in the polls 17 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: than those that don't do well in polls. We have 18 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: now Senator Tim Scott, who will be on the show today, 19 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: is going to join us. He made his announcement this week. 20 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: By the way, just broke that Rond de Santis will 21 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: be making his announcement. He's expected to file paperwork with 22 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: the FEC and then apparently it's six Eastern tomorrow. We'll 23 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: have a conversation with Eli Musk on Twitter about his 24 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: announcement to run for the presidency, which is, you know, interesting, 25 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: unique way to do it. And but this presidential you 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: know primary season now is officially upon us, and it's 27 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: pretty much everything that we thought it was going to be. 28 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't really see any surprises yet. I guess Chris 29 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: Christie thinks he can run. What did he leave office 30 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: with a fifteen percent approval rating? So he's going into 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: the presidential primary for one reason. He wants to bludgeon 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: and beat up and bloody Donald Trump every single step 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: of the way. That's just that's not a plan to 34 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: save America or run for president. That's an agenda because 35 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't like Donald Trump. All right, why don't you 36 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: just stay on you know, TV and keep telling everybody 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again that you hate 38 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Donald Trump remains the you know, by far, 39 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: the front runner in this race. I think some people 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: have made a calculation that, Okay, there's got a lot 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: of legal issues that could certainly be distracting at a 42 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: minimum and may be worse, if you know, depending on 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: where these investigations end up going. You still have the 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: issue of outstanding in Georgia whether or not charges will 45 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: be brought by the Fulton County District Attorney. Then you've 46 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: got the Special Council looking at the Mara a Lago issue. Apparently, 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: according to one story I saw earlier today, I forgot 48 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: where I picked it up, the Special Council is wrapping 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: up their Trump Mara Lago probe. Some Trump associates anticipate 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: in an indictment and apparently raising funds off it. That's 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, who knows if that part is right or 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: not right. But we run into this problem every time 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: we have a primary season, and that is okay, Well, 54 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: you have all these candidates in the race, and we 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: try to give time to every candidate so that you, 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: the voters, can make an informed decision. It is a 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: primary and it will be interesting. As of now, Donald 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: Trump has said, and we have a town hall schedule 59 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump coming up pretty soon. 60 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: What is that the weekend next week or the week after? 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? After next week? 62 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: Next week? 63 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: It is? 64 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: Or the week after. 65 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: Next yeah, like next week or the week after. 66 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: Okay, so you don't know either, thanks a lot. You're 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: supposed to clarify this. 68 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: This in the way I say it, though, it sounded 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: like I knew right, you felt good about that. 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: No, I didn't. I wanted clarification. 71 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: I think the audience thinks that sounded pretty good. 72 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: I depend on my staff to know my schedule. 73 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: All I get is, you know, from Kristen in one hour, 74 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: you have to get on this conference call. In thirty minutes. 75 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: You have to get on this conference call in fifteen minutes. 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: That woman is unbelievable. 77 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: Fifteen minutes, you have to get in this on this 78 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: conference call. 79 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: Five minutes. You have to get on the conference call. 80 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: And guess what, are you on the call? 81 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: Yet you're late? 82 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: You're late? Now, guess what. That's kind of true, super true. 83 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: So we put the poll up, and that is whether 84 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: you want this show, my TV show, to give equal 85 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: time to all the candidates. I mean, we pay attention, 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: we listen to our audience, and I think it's in 87 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: everybody's best interest to hear from everybody. Now, if I 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: did have one wish in this, and I've stated this before, 89 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: I wish it was not starting out as contentious as 90 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: this one is, especially in the case of President Trump 91 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: and Governor DeSantis. At some point during a primary, you 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: do get to that point. It is inevitable, especially if 93 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: the primary is close. A perfect classic example is when 94 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: George W. Bush was going up in a primary against 95 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: John McCain and they got to South Carolina. 96 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: It got brutal. 97 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: It was a knockdown, drag out political street fight. And 98 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: that's the nature of politics. That's why they call it 99 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: a blood sport. I would hope in the beginning we 100 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: would have remembered, though, that the policies that we that 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: are causing this country to suffer are not caused by Republicans. 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: They're not caused by Conservatives. 103 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: They're caused by Joe Biden and the radical climate alarmist 104 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: religious cult that is dominated this country's agenda down for 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: the longest time. I mean, you know, for example, they're 106 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to make the biggest deal out of this debt 107 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: ceiling issue. 108 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: Now. 109 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy said that they're not close to a deal. 110 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: By the way, he said he's willing to stay and 111 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: keep his caucus in Washington to try and negotiate further. 112 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: There's no way in hell do I see Joe Biden 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: giving up a weekend at the beach in Delaware to 114 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: negotiate a debt ceiling bill that he says it is 115 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: it is imperative that we pass a bill. Okay, so 116 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: coming up with what is ostensibly and I explained it 117 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: in detail yesterday, I won't do it again today. An 118 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: artificial deadline. Jennet yelling to say drop dead date June 119 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: the first. It's not June the first. There are many 120 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: accounting methods that they can use that can keep the 121 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: government up and running and paying off our debt and 122 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: paying Social Security and Medicare and defense, etc. Without having 123 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: to worry about defaulting on anything. But anyway, they said 124 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: they had a productive discussion. But I know from people 125 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: that I've talked to, my sources of telling me it 126 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: wasn't very productive, and that I think it's finally dawning 127 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: on the Democrats that you know, calling Republicans wackos and 128 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: extreme maga Republicans. That's not going to work either. The 129 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: Democrats made a calculated mistake. They were betting that McCarthy 130 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: and the Republicans in the House, with their small majority 131 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: would not come to a debt sealing agreement, and they did. 132 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: And not only did they come to an agreement, it's 133 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: a really good agreement. 134 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: It is a reasonable agreement. 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: Returning spending love, we're in twenty twenty three, returning spending 136 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: levels to twenty twenty two levels, still in the middle 137 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: of a COVID emergency. Is not the worst, you know decision, 138 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: especially when you have thirty one trillion dollars in debt, 139 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, to ensure that you don't that you reduce 140 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: baseline budgeting or future budget increases to departments to one percent. 141 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: That is responsible governance. And we stop robbing our kids 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: and grandkids. Having a bill scored out as saving four 143 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: point eight trillion dollars, that is not a bad thing 144 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: for this country. It's not that they tax too little, 145 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: they spend too much. And Joe Biden, you know, issues 146 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: a very terse three sentence statement last night at the 147 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: conclusion of talks with McCarthy, and you know, with both 148 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: sides are calling productive. 149 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: Quote. 150 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: I just concluded a productive meeting with Speaker McCarthy about 151 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: the need to prevent default and avoid a catastrophe for 152 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: our economy. We reiterated once again that default is off 153 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: the table and the only way to move forward is 154 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: in good faith toward a bipart is an agreement. Well, 155 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: this is the same guy that was just saying over 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over and over 157 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: again through himself and his spokesperson Karine Jean Pierre, that 158 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be any negotiations. You know, we spelled out 159 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: yesterday Fox Businesses analysis is that this is a phony 160 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: debt ceiling deadline calamity. You know, the Treasury made a 161 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: plan to pay bond holders in twenty eleven. They could 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: do the same thing with Social Security. You know, they 163 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: went into great specificity in detail of Congress doesn't raise 164 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: the statutory debt limit. By the way, finally they took 165 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: off the fourteenth Amendment that they were floating out there 166 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: as a trial balloon. It was never going to pass 167 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: legal muster anyway. But you know, Yellen is saying, whether 168 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: it's defaulting on interest payments that are due or on 169 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the debt payments due for Social Security or Medicare providers, 170 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: we could simply not have enough cash to meet all 171 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: of our obligations. Now that is dangerously misleading, because hitting 172 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: X date is not going to cause this country to 173 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: go into a default on the national debt. Debt service 174 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: payments have a feature that most other government paybacks lack 175 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: or payments lack, and when the government pays off maturing debt, 176 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: the amount of debt subject to the statutory limit declines, 177 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: and that means that the government can roll over these obligations, 178 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: that is, issued new debt to pay off old debt 179 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: without violating the debt limit. So it's a phony deadline 180 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: to begin with. And you know, while all this is happening, 181 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, they just the Democrats didn't do their job. 182 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Biden never put forward a plan. Where's Chuck Schumer's plan? 183 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was whining about it. And Kevin McCarthy also 184 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: has another problem, and that is, you know, he could 185 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: face with a small majority of two twenty two a 186 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: motion to vacate. Only one congressman has needed to bring 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: that forward, which is sort of like a no confidence vote. 188 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. Matt Gates said, 189 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't think it's going to happen. He says that 190 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: there's still no Biden debt limit deal. He thinks he 191 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: can get it done, McCarthy said, but that's going to 192 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: be up to Joe Biden. It was great that the 193 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal had to school Biden on what the 194 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment actually means. He may be confused. You think, 195 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody in the world knows that he's confused. 196 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: And you know, then there's the doom and gloom ap articles. 197 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: What would it mean for the global economy if the 198 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: US defaults on its debt. It's not going to happen. 199 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: In reality, it won't happen. But they're not going to 200 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: tell you that part. They want a bad deal that 201 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: is made in haste at the last minute, because that's 202 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: how dysfunctional Washington d C and the sewer and the 203 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: swamp works. As funds are running short, the Treasury's asking 204 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: agencies that payments could be made later. Yes, they can 205 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: be as the date nears. By the way, credit ratings 206 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: they're holding firm. The markets aren't scared yet they may 207 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: get scared based on the rhetoric of the left and 208 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: the president and Janet Yellen and everybody in between. You know, 209 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: White House is trying to call democratic fears. You know, 210 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: not only does Kevin McCarthy made promises, and that's why 211 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: I was elected speaker. And on these promises, he's expected 212 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: to fulfill the promise. And one of the promises is 213 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: to return the fiscal responsibility. And they were stupid enough 214 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: to you know, decide that Republicans couldn't get this job done. 215 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: Guess what they got it done. By the way, a 216 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: big win today. Ford Motor Company has now dropped their 217 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: plan not to include AM radio as part of their 218 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: audio package. And by the way, any other car maker 219 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: considering this, I have no interest to that car maker. 220 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: I'm not calling for a boycott. I'm saying I have 221 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: no interest. I always like the Ford F one fifty. 222 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: I think it's awesome, great car. I don't want it 223 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: in an EV version either, I want the real one. 224 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: But the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, announced today that 225 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: his company's reversing course. They will include AM radio in 226 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: all twenty twenty four Ford and Lincoln vehicles after speaking 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: with policy leaders about the importance of AM broadcast radio 228 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: as part of our emergency alert system. And that decision 229 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: comes a month after the Ford spokesperson told the Detroit 230 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: Free Press the company was preparing to remove AM radio 231 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: from most new and updated twenty twenty four models. Now 232 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: every other company considering this needs to follow suit. You know, 233 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you. With all this about the debt ceiling, 234 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: new Federal Reserve survey shows a majority of Americans now 235 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: are experiencing a major jump in financial insecurity. I mean, 236 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: this is just released by the Federal Reserve and the 237 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: number of Americans who say their financial security has declined 238 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: in just the last year. Sorry, well, as has every 239 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: other indicator that we've had, you know. Joe Biden now 240 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: forced to pull the plug on his latest plan to 241 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: funnel more tax dollars to China. This plan to funnel 242 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: a two hundred million dollar deal to a Chinese energy 243 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: company finally has been stopped dead after one hundred and 244 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: fifty House members. Republicans complained that Biden's green new energy 245 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: policies are strengthening China. Well, why the hell would they 246 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: ever give China a penny? Why were we ever giving 247 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: a dime to the Wuhan virology lab that we knew 248 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: did gain and function research and coronavirus research. 249 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 2: Don't worry. 250 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: John Carey's warning American farmers they better cut back on 251 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: their carbon footprint. 252 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: I'll get to that when we get back, all right. 253 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: So Biden is forced to pull the plug on the 254 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: latest move to funnel moore or US tax dollars to China. 255 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: Two hundred million dollar deal to a Chinese energy company. 256 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: I just you can't even make this up. What is 257 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: that a reward for their spy balloon? Is that a 258 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: reward for what COVID?

Three quarters of Democrats in Washington. 338 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: Washington Post focus groups say they're concerned about Biden's health 339 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: and mental acuity now don't think between this and Hillary 340 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: Clinton saying, oh, of course, age is a factor. This 341 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: is not an accident. There is an undercurrent within Democratic ranks. 342 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: They don't want this guy running. They don't think he's 343 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: up for the job. And now, right now is every day, 344 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: week and month passes, it's going to get harder and 345 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: harder and harder for somebody to step up and challenge him. 346 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: I would not be shocked at all to see RFK 347 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: Junior end up with thirty percent of the vote. That 348 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: might actually spark somebody that could really win the nomination 349 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: to get into the race. We'll see. By the way, 350 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: Biden caught lion again. Why does he keep lying about 351 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: his son bo And I'm sorry that his son passed away. 352 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything worse. But why does he 353 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: keep saying that he died in Iraq when he didn't 354 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: die in Iraq. 355 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: My son was a major in the army. We lost 356 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: him in Iraq. He says it again and again and again. 357 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: That's not what happened. 358 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: The White House Press Office did not put out an 359 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: official transcript, almost allowing the error to kind of escape 360 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: public notice. Sadly, this president's son died of brain cancer 361 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center 362 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: in Bethesda. Why does he keep saying that it's so bizarre? 363 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: I honestly I can't figure this. 364 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 3: Can you imagine if Donald Trump? Oh, I mean for 365 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: one second, no, such a disgusting thing to lie about 366 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: this week of Memorial Day. 367 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what's wrong with him. There's something 368 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: wrong that you keep repeating. Something in the staff tells 369 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: you all the time. No, no, no, that's not true, sar, 370 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: I just keep going with it. One report, Today's special 371 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: counsel is wrapping up Trump's mar A Lago problem. Has 372 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: anybody anybody heard a word about the Special Council looking 373 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: into Joe Biden. We haven't heard a word. All we 374 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: hear about is a special council going after Trump. Not 375 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: a peep about the Special Council looking into Biden. Shocking. 376 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: We have a deep state. By the way, the next 377 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: president needs to clean it up. Top to Boden for Republicans. Now, 378 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: if I was them, I'd use the power of the 379 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: purse and they either institutionalize these changes or that's it. 380 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: And by the way, I noticed the mob the media. 381 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: So you have this this ignorant idiot driving with a 382 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: Nazi flag, uh rightly charged for targeting the president after 383 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: his truck crashed into the White House security power here, which, 384 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: by the way, we should have those same barriers at 385 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: the Capitol in light of January sixth. But of course 386 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: they were too busy focused on getting Donald Trump to 387 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: even you know, come up with any solutions for this. 388 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: But you know, and then there's the implication that oh, 389 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: they're conservat probably MAGA concerned. No, no conservative I know 390 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: buys into that crap, that that sick, twisted, ugly evil ideology, 391 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: not one, and if they did, I'd have nothing to 392 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: do with them. But that's the general consensus. They've already 393 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: started with Ronda Santis as a racist. We need a 394 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: travel advisory for the state of Florida. Later on, I'll 395 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: play a woman. You know, Florida has now become a 396 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: terrorist state. By the way, a lot of the people 397 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: making the claims live in Florida, you know. Democratic governor 398 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: in uh where is this one? In North Carolina declared 399 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: a state of emergency because the Republican legislature passed a 400 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: school choice vote, which parents desperately want, desperately need their 401 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: kids are not getting the quality of education that they deserve. 402 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. 403 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: And this is NBC News claiming Florida is about to 404 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: be a terrorist state for black Americans and LGBTQ people. 405 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 2: No, it's not. I've been to Florida and no, not 406 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: even hostile in the least anyway. 407 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine point one. Sean, if you want 408 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, you know, we 409 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: have a lot of I're going to play later in 410 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: the show. You got to hear this woman that testified. 411 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: I'd play it now. I just don't have enough time 412 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: before Congress. Yesterday, marilynd mom lost her twenty year old 413 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: daughter killed illegal immigrant apparently, member of MS thirteen. I 414 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: mean it's you know, and she comments about border security 415 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 1: and the illegal immigration and she was killed in her 416 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: own bed, twenty years old. How do you ever recover 417 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: from that? By the way, Senator Tim Scott, who made 418 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: his announcement yesterday, is going to join us on the 419 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: program today. 420 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: We'll check in with him. 421 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: By the way, we have a vote up on Hannity 422 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: dot com. Do you want us to give equal time 423 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: to all the Republican candidates? You know, in the lead 424 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: up to the predictable. Why are you giving more time 425 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: to this person? Why are you giving more time to 426 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: that person? And in the end we end up not 427 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: giving more time to anybody. We end up trying to 428 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: be fair, and then there are some people that don't 429 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: want to come on the show and turn on our invitation. 430 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: I can't help give airtime to somebody that doesn't want 431 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: to come on, like we've given a lot of airtime 432 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: to vivek Ramaswami. Do I think he's really got a 433 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: chance to win. I don't, but I like him. I 434 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: think he's smart, I think he's interesting. I think he's 435 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: been running a really good campaign for somebody that is 436 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: not as well known as a lot of the other candidates, 437 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: and I think it deserves a lot of credit for it. 438 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: By the way, don't think this is an accident. When 439 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton thinks that Biden's age is an issue when 440 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: she's asked about this, that is not an accident. I 441 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: promise you Democrats are scared to death that this guy's 442 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: on the ticket. And by the way, it's you know, 443 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: when you have a cognitive decline, it's usually degenerative and 444 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: meaning it's only going to progress and get worse, not better. 445 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: There's no indication that Joe is getting better in spite 446 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: of the weekends on the beach, and only thirty percent 447 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: of time on this earth is spent you know, working 448 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: and not even working, just being in the building.
