1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Day, number three seventeen, Our two, Sean Hannity's show eight 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one, Shawn on number You want 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. In the great 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: state of South Dakota, Christi Noma was on number of 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: shows over the weekend. The governor of that state they 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: had already had in place a law, a bill that, 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: in fact, automatically, if Roe was ever overturned, would prevent 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: people from having any abortions in the state of South Dakota. Remember, 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: abortion has not been outlawed, and the governor was very 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: clear this weekend that no, they're not going to be 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: targeting women or anybody for prosecution, but this is the 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: state law in South Dakota. Here's the governor said. The 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: first thing we're going to be debating after the abortion 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: man has had to support mothers. Listen to this. What 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: I believe will happen is that if we do go 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: into a special session, that they'll be debate around how 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: we can support these mothers. I've already law waunched a 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: website that's called life dot SD dot gov, and it's 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: to get resources to individuals who have an unplanned pregnancy 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: or if they're in a crisis situation that will coordinate 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: financial assistance people that will come alongside them during this time, 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: also make sure that they get healthcare and access that 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: they may need at lists all the nonprofits different organizations 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: that work with them, and then also connects them to 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: families that may want to adopt their baby should they 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: choose to give their baby up for adoption. So it's 27 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: an incredible resource that does more to support these women 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: that are in a situation that was unplanned and really 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: does leave them in a situation where they're not prepared 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: for the news that they have that they're expecting a baby. 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: All right, Governor Noam joins us. Now, Governor, great to 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: have you back. How are you. Oh, we're doing great, Sean, 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: thank you so much for inviting me. Let's talk about 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: your position. And for example, this is what the left 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: would say, see abortion is going to be outlawed in America. 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: But South Dakota is very different than California, Illinois, New 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: York and other liberal states are again Washington, etc. And 38 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating to me you had actually said something 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: that really caught my attention and defending the South Dakota 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: band without any exceptions except for the life of the mother, 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: to build stronger families, And you said, not a reason 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: for another tragedy to occur. Explain, well, you know, you know, 43 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: people talk consistently about the horrific situation that some women 44 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: go through, you know, during rape or incests, and what 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: that means for their lives, and then the baby that's 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: a result of that and the tragedy of it all. 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: You know, I've just been a believer that, you know, 48 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: one tragedy it's really makes it very difficult to justify 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: another one, and that if we did a better job 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: I think in this country and as people, as individuals 51 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: and leaders supporting women that are in this crisis, that 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: are in this terrible situation and helped them with healthcare 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and counseling and walked alongside them, got them connected with 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: people who could give that baby a loving home if 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: they chose not to keep it, then we would have 56 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: a much better result at the end of the day 57 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: than perpetuating another tragedy. So I know that when you 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: listen to what's happening from the left and what they're 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: saying out there is they're trying to scare women and 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: terrorize them to think that the whole world turned upside 61 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: down just a few days ago when the Supreme Court 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: made this decision. I think people need to consistently keep 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: perspective and recognize that what the Supreme Court did was 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: to fix a wrong decision that happened almost fifty years 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: ago and return this power back to the states. And 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the states can have these debates about what it looks 67 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: like in each of their states. But in South Dakota 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: to date, no abortions are being performed. When did South 69 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Dakota codify that into law that if, in fact, role 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: was overturned, that this would be law in South Dakota. 71 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: It was back in two thousand and five when that 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: trigger law was passed and put into place. And it 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: does not punish mothers. What it says is that it 74 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: would go after doctors. Doctors who knowingly break the loss 75 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: would be prosecuted. And I need to be very clear 76 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: about that too, because no one wants to go after 77 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: mothers who were in these situations. And this year we 78 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: brought a bill that that tele medicine abortion it was 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: my bill. Telemedicine abortions would not be allowed either, and 80 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: that's because it's a very dangerous procedure for a woman 81 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: to undergo with no medical supervision. So you know, where 82 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: are you talking about when a woman would contact a 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: doctor FaceTime perhaps, zoom call perhaps, and the doctor would 84 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: then prescribed. Because fifty five percent, according to a gutmuk 85 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: or institute of abortions today that take place at none 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: with a pill. Are you saying that they wouldn't be 87 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: able to do it that way? Correct? That if they 88 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: can't over a phone call or over the internet contact 89 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: a doctor and get a prescription mail to them, women 90 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: are four times more likely to end up in an 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: emergency room from a procedure like that with no medical supervision. 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: So in our state, we just believe that if that 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: is some thing that someone wanted to pursue, they needed 94 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: to have a physician in vault. Let's talk about, for example, 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: New York is now advertising itself, the Governor of New York, 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: that it's gonna they're gonna make New York state would 97 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: quote an abortion travel destination in the sense that it's 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: going to be a state where anybody from any state, 99 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: in any place, anytime, anywhere could travel to New York. 100 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: And I'm sure there'll be groups that pop up that 101 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: will probably fund these trips for people. We know corporations 102 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: have already said that they would step up and pay 103 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: the cost if somebody wanted to go to a more 104 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: liberal state and have an abortion if their state doesn't 105 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: allow it or has restrictions that they don't agree with. 106 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that. I think that's a 107 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: harispe to be known for. I guess I'm very proud 108 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: of the fact that in South Dakota were known as 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: the not Rushmore state, the state that honors historic leaders 110 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: rather than honoring the death of so many millions of 111 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: innocent children. I think that's a person who truly needs 112 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: to get some perspective on what's important in this world. 113 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: Every life is precious, and I think that when we 114 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: can come back to recognizing that truly and not be 115 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: hypocrites like the left is on so much of this 116 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: telling us that they're fighting for equality if they give 117 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: millions of babies no chance whatsoever to even have a 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: chance to breathe their first breath, do we know what 119 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: the people of South Dakota think about this? In other words, 120 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I know, for example, California, as a referendum process, if 121 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: there was a referendum on the ballot for the people's 122 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: South Dakota. What do you think the vote would come 123 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: down to us? And we've had it on the ballot 124 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: in the past, just in the most recent within the 125 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: last ten years, and it has not passed to completely 126 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: ban abortions in the States. So we've got some work 127 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: to do to educate people to use the science and 128 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: technology that we have to really talk about these babies 129 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: and their lives and the options that they have. I 130 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: think so many times people aren't educated to what resources 131 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: are out there for these mothers. And then also just 132 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: what science has proven us that these babies feel pain. 133 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: That doctors when they do surgeries and procedures on babies 134 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: in the womb, that they knowingly and with a lot 135 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: of credibility call that a patient and has patient rights 136 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 1: protections when they're doing this, why would that not also 137 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: be a life at that point in time as well? 138 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Can you explain this insanity of the left? And maybe 139 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: people make exceptions. I do know people in my life 140 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: that personally say that they're pro choice, but they're very 141 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: very clear and what they mean by that, and they'll 142 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: always say it was Bill Clinton who coined the phrase 143 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: legal and rare and I would add the words early 144 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: for those people that are considered themselves pro choice, I'm 145 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: like you, I'm pro life. I do make two exceptions, 146 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: although I will concede the point that it's intellectually inconsistent. 147 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: If you believe life begins a conception for rape incest 148 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: in the mother's life, you have the more intellectually honest 149 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: position than I do. I don't know why the Democratic 150 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Party wanted to pass a bill in Congress or the 151 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: statement of governor then Governor Northam. You know, first of all, 152 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: delivered the baby, will make sure the baby's comfortable. Then 153 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the mother and the doctor will talk and they'll decide 154 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: if the baby gets to live. You know, for the 155 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: people that lecture us constantly about following the science at 156 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: that point in time, third trimester abortions, that is called infanticide, 157 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: that child could live outside of the mother's womb independently. 158 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: That is a life. Yeah, you know, Sean, They're they're 159 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: demanding abortion on demand, and they're even saying Democrats, liberals 160 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: are saying in portions of this country that babies can 161 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: be killed after they're born. So the extreme position is 162 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: just not backed up at all by anything else that 163 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: they say, Um, they embraced as far as science. Um, 164 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: you know we heard this ring COVID pandemic, and I 165 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: talk about the pandemic and this hypocrisy and this this 166 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: is you know, attack that has been on conservatives. In 167 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: my book that's coming out tomorrow, I talk about what 168 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: that is like to live and work in a world 169 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: where the hypocrisy is all around you and people are 170 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: being consumed by fear that is driven by these liberals. 171 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: These liberals and many people in the media that constantly 172 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: cause people to lose perspective and embrace those extreme positions 173 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: that they are today. You know, but big negligent. If 174 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: I didn't mention in the book, I did get an 175 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: early copy of it. I love the title of it, 176 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: and not my first rodeo the country now is going through. 177 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I would argue preventable pain in so many regards. 178 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: We don't have to have chaos at our borders. We 179 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: know how to solve that problem. We don't need to 180 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: be paying over five dollars a gallon for gasoline on 181 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: average nationally. We wore energy independent a year and a 182 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: half ago. We don't need inflation at a forty one 183 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: year high in large part it's because of the economic 184 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: and energy policies of Joe Biden. We can go back 185 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: to the policies that we're working. And this is something 186 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: that the country seems to flirt with every once in 187 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: a while, and that is it's that that flirtation with socialism, 188 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: and it always ends in a disaster. Why why does 189 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: the country keep, you know, going back to that which 190 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: we know will fail. Well, we're uneducated. I think the 191 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: public in general, you know, won't go back and look 192 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: at history and see that it has failed. You know. 193 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: That's why you don't neglect talking about your past leaders. 194 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: You know where you've been as a country, and that's 195 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: extremely challenging. I also think people are lazy. I think 196 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: they're interested in headlines. They don't even read full articles anymore, 197 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: you know. I see this consistently on every policy debate 198 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and discussion that we have. I just sat with some 199 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: conservatives who are demanding that I pass mandates to businesses. Well, 200 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a conservative, I'm a I'm a person 201 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: who believes that the government shouldn't be dictating to businesses, 202 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: which is private property. I said, I had to fight 203 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: this with Republicans just yesterday So that's what's interesting to me, 204 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: is if we knew our history, we would understand why 205 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: we don't want the government stepping in and telling people 206 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: what they can do on their private property or in 207 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: their private business. And you know, that's we have to 208 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: do a better job making sure every time we talk 209 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: that we're educating people on our history and why we 210 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: have the belief system that we have. All Right, quick 211 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: break Moore with South Dakota Governor Christy Noma's with us. 212 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Our new book is out today Hannity dot com, Amazon 213 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: dot com, bookstores everywhere. Not my first rodeo Lessons from 214 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: the Heartland. Well with Governor Christy Nome of the Great 215 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: State of South Dakota. She has a new book out, 216 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: by the way, not my first Rodeo Lessons from the Heartland. 217 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: I was really taken back. I did not know that 218 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: you lost your father tragically, that you one grew up 219 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: on a ranch in the heartland too, that you lost 220 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: your dad at a at a very young age, and 221 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: that in South Dakota, and the way you grew up 222 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: as quote, we don't complain about things, we fix them. 223 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: And and now you became the first governor in South 224 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: Dakota's history, and you talk about all of these lessons 225 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: that you learn from your dad and from life on 226 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: a ranch and in the heartland. It's very different, for example, 227 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: than the life that I grew up with. I grew 228 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: up a street fighter governor. That's what I did. I 229 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: know you did. I love it, you know. I think 230 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,119 Speaker 1: what people got really curious about rural America during the pandemic, 231 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: you know, and when you're curious, YE have many days 232 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: I wish I wasn't here and I was on a 233 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: ranch alone. It's a it's a place of common sense 234 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: and good people. And people probably first heard my name 235 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago, and they don't realize 236 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: all that I've gone through in my life, the different 237 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: positions and challenges, different things I've done. And this isn't 238 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: my first rodeo. The pandemic wasn't my first rodeo. I've 239 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: stepped up many times in the past and had big 240 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: fights over something that was incredibly important at that time. 241 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: So I think that it's good for people to maybe 242 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: know my background, no more about me. We make snap 243 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: judgments about people sometimes, and that history is incredibly important 244 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: to know really what made a person who they are today. 245 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: It's interesting, after the death or untimely death of your dad, 246 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: you decided to run the family farm and ranch with 247 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: your family, and how that has defined you through the 248 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: rest of your life. Do you see life beyond maybe 249 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: being governor? Your name is often brought up as a 250 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: potential presidential candidate down the road or vice presidential candidate. 251 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Would that be something you'd be open to? Well, I'm 252 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: hoping South Dakota will choose to re elect me to 253 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: be their governor this year. You know, that's certainly something 254 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping. I think your odds are pretty good. 255 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: I think the Hannity endorsement will put it right over 256 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: the time. Good, perfect, perfect, you know. You know, I 257 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: think that it's important we all do what we can 258 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: do at this point in time. I'm not planning to 259 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: run for any higher office, but I do think we 260 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: need to have people who do more than they're doing 261 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: today or else we really are we really are going 262 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: to lose this country. And that's what I love. The 263 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: optimistic part of this is people are engaged. There's people 264 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: who've never paid attention to their government politics before that 265 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: are now paying attention. So we have a unique chance 266 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: here to get America back on track for an educated 267 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: public that really does defend their way of life. You 268 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: know what. That's really in keeping with the title of 269 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: your new book. By the way, it's on Amazon dot com, 270 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: Hannity dot Com, and bookstores everywhere as of tomorrow. Not 271 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: my first rodeo Lessons from the Heartland. We don't complain 272 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: about things. We fix them. We've got to fix this 273 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: country because it is on the wrong track, the worst 274 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: I have seen in my lifetime. Governor. We love having 275 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: you on. Thank you so much for being with us. 276 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: Best to luck with the book, and I think people 277 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: are gonna learn a lot about you that they had 278 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: no idea about it. I know I did, so it's 279 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: a it's a fascinating read. Thanks for being with us. Oh, 280 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: thank you, Sean, appreciate it. We'll talk to you soon. 281 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: About eight hundred ninety four one, Sean our number if 282 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, quick 283 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: break right back, holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers 284 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: no one else does. America deserves and know the truth 285 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: about Congress all right, twenty five nuns at the top 286 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one Shawn 287 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: our number if you want to be a part of 288 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: the program. You know, after we saw Glen Junkin's massive 289 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I think now we're 290 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: beginning to see especially after the win of Commerce Swamath Lauraz. 291 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty unbelievable. So as far as I'm concerned, 292 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: all bets are off right now, and Republicans should play 293 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: for keeps in every single race, every single congressional district, 294 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: every Senate race, every every gubernatorial race. There is a 295 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: guy that is now the mayor of Aurora and Illinois 296 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: is now running to become the next governor. He's a vet, 297 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: former prosecutor, twice elected mayor, sick of Democratic politics. And 298 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: this got really personal for me over the weekend. I 299 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: have a colleague of mine at the Fox News channel 300 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: and he lost his brother who was murdered over the 301 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: weekend in Chicago's that surprise anybody, Fox News political analysts 302 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: Giano Calwell. I've been scrolling names from Chicago now since 303 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Nobody's lifted a finger. Anyway, here's 304 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: the latest add for Richard Irvine to fund the police 305 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: is dumb, dangerous, and it costs lives, and I believe 306 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: that all lives matter. Every family should be safe. Running 307 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: our second largest city, crimes come down because the police 308 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: budget has gone up. I hired more cops each year. 309 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: We've recruited new companies, turned to old properties and economic engines, 310 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: and we've controlled spending, balanced budgets. So resident Scott property 311 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: tax relief. My city is now safe, stronger than full 312 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: of opportunity. I want that for Illinois. Madigan and his 313 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: ILK governor Pritsker. They've done so much damage, but I 314 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: promise you we can overcome big challenges. That's what I'm 315 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: good at here. But we must dare to dream of 316 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: an Illinois that is prosperous and proud enough to truly 317 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: be the Land of Lincoln again. I'm d I'm running 318 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: for governor of Illinois, and with your health, we will 319 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: take our state back anyway. Richard Irvan joins us now anyway. 320 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: Your life is really the embodiment I've been reading a 321 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: lot about you of the American dream. You were born 322 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: to a single mom, raised in in what they call 323 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: the projects in Aurora. Then you become the mayor of 324 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: this town. You have the first person in your family 325 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: to graduate. Incredible life story, you're also a veteran former prosecutor, 326 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: incredible resume um. Everything I've read about you is beyond impressive. 327 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: How are you? How are you going to be on 328 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: with you to day with you? And now you listen, Well, 329 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: it's an honor to have you on what's happening in 330 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: your state because the same thing is happening in the 331 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: state of New York where I live. Unfortunately, I don't 332 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: want to live here anymore, but I'm living here because 333 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: of my work. But what is why is it every 334 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: weekend we can we can predict with certainty thirty forty, 335 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: fifty sixty people are going to be shot. X number 336 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: of the people shot are going to be killed, and 337 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: nobody lifts a finger like why don't you fix this? 338 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it. I still don't understand it. You 339 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: know what, John, crime is about a control in the 340 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: state of Illinois, and there's no one that can give 341 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: an answer. JB. Pritchter, the governor that's year now. He's 342 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: making it more easy for criminals break to break the law. 343 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: He's hand cupping our police officers and in preventing them 344 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: from being able to stop these criminals from committing this crime. 345 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: We need to take the handcuffs off the police officers 346 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: and put them back on the criminals where those handcuffs belong. 347 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Because you know, as a former prosecutor, as the mayor 348 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: of the second Life Receive in the state that had 349 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: crimes finnan of control, I know exactly what we need 350 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: to do to address that crime in our state. First 351 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: of all, we cannot allow baby priscers to continue to 352 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: sign in legislation that is a no cash bail starting 353 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: January first, under JB. Prister, the current member of this date, 354 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: the Democratic governor, there is a no cash bail, So 355 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: criminals will commit felonies, slap high fives of the police, 356 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: and then get out of jail with no consequence. As 357 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, all the ones that are in 358 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: jail now wait that are on bond waiting for trial, 359 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: they'll all get purged out back into our neighborhoods and 360 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: community ten thousand people across the state of Illinois. That 361 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: it's out of control, that we've got to do something 362 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: about it. And that's exactly why Davy Prisper looked at 363 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: my background, because you pointed out looks at the fact 364 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: that I grew up in the project myself and know 365 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: exactly what we needs need to do to address issues 366 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: by making sure we provide education, making sure we provide 367 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: jobs and economic prowess, making sure that we provide opportunities 368 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: for the future. He knows that, which is why he 369 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: spent thirty five million dollars. Let me tell you a 370 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: Democrat spend thirty five million dollars meddling in the Republican 371 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: primary against me to take me down and to lift 372 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: up a lesser candidate than he wanted to face in 373 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: the general. Let's talk about a little bit about your background, 374 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: because I want people to understand this. You love your state, 375 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: you don't like what's happening in your state, but your 376 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: state is a pretty hardcore blue It's not purple, it's 377 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: not red, for sure, but it's a blue state. Is 378 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: there any chance in this blue state, just like New York, 379 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: just like New Jersey, just like California, that Republicans can 380 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: win a general? Absolutely? And I would be that Republican 381 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: to win the general because we're a Republican to win 382 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: in Illinois, the Republicans don't need three categories of voters 383 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: Republican voters, independent, voters and Democratic crossover voters. Now I'll 384 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: go to the Democratic community and tell them, Look, the 385 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: Democrats have been running you know, your community in the 386 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: state for decades, and you still don't have jobs. You 387 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: still got high crime and kids getting mowed down and 388 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: drive by shooting. You still don't have opportunities for the future. 389 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: Give me as someone who grew up in the projects, 390 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: grew up in low income housing and has fixed the 391 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: problems before in my city of the second largest city 392 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: in the state, and we will make a difference. And JB. 393 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: Prister knew that when I told that message, that I 394 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: would beat him in November, which is why he spent 395 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars in a Republican primary Democrat in 396 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: a Publican primary, tearing me down and looked up the 397 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: lesser candidate. He knows that I'm his worst nightmare. He's 398 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: forecasting that this would be a change for this state, 399 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: and he is willness spend money. This is the most 400 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: ever spent in my history of our nation. And they 401 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: sure this country that a Democrat has been thirty five 402 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: million stopping one individual from going forward to the general 403 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: because he knows he's telling it. This is the person 404 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 1: I'm most scared of. This is the person that can 405 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: beat me, and not to beat me, but change the 406 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: whole system and change the state. And I'm going to 407 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: stop before he even get started. You know, this is 408 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: an amazing time. What I like that is happening. I 409 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: think new King Rich's analysis is dead on accurate. He's 410 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: talking about a new American majority, and he's not talking 411 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: about Republican he's not talking about Democrat either. He's talking 412 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: about common sense Americans that believe in very simple, fundamental 413 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: basic government that works, lower taxes, less bureaucracy, energy and dependent, 414 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: simple common sense. Securing our borders so fenton all and 415 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: opioids don't cross over and kill our kids. I mean 416 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: basic stuff. Um. Following the rule of law, Um, this 417 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: is not happening. It would include law and order, safety 418 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: and security. M Richard is, do you know anyway anybody 419 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: can pursue happiness if they're not safe and secure in 420 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: their town or city or absolutely not. There's no way 421 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: that anyone's going to be safe and secure and in 422 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: their city, in their in their state. If we've got 423 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: crime and corruption to spit are out of control. There's 424 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: absolutely no way, which is why we have so many 425 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: businesses that are uprooting and leaving Chicago and Illinois. We 426 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: had we had Caterpillar just announced they're leaving Chicago. Boeing 427 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: announced they're leaving Chicago. Citadel announced they're leaving Chicago because 428 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: of crime and attacks. They're spinning out of control in 429 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: this and they don't believe that this governor has what 430 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: it takes to fix it. They know he does it, 431 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: and they're not willing to put up with it anymore. 432 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: The only way we're going to get people to move 433 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: back in and business to move back in is to 434 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: return to tow back to a law and order state, 435 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: the true Land of Lincoln again. You know, I think 436 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: it's you know, I have more hope than I've ever 437 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: had before. I do believe it will be an uphill 438 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: battle for any Republican in a blue state like this, 439 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: But if it's ever going to happen, I think this 440 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: is the best that this is the best moment for 441 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: somebody like yourself to run. You know. But one of 442 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: the things we always look at when we look at polls, 443 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: we look at demographics, and you see Joe Biden and 444 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, they're losing Hispanic Americans African Americans they use. 445 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: They're losing young people in droves, I mean twenty thirty percent. 446 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: In the polling numbers, you see a president with what 447 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: on average a thirty two three four percent approval rating, 448 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: not very high. So it seems like common sense. I mean, yeah, 449 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm just looking for people that will fix problems, that 450 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: want to serve their community and then go back to 451 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: whatever they were doing beforehand. And that's all I want 452 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: to do, you know, I want to serve. I serve 453 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: the United States Arment when I when I went or 454 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: for this country and to go war Desert Shield Antezer Storm. 455 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: I served as a propecutor. I served as an alderman 456 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: for ten years before I became mayor. I'm serving as 457 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: mayor of the second largest city in the city of Illinois. 458 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: I just want to help people and fix things. That's 459 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: why I'm here, you know, and you're absolutely right. We 460 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: got to get back to common sense and what the 461 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: Democrats are doing, and expecially Jabie Prister meddling in this 462 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: Republican primary. You know, he's trying to confuse and befuddled 463 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: our Republican electorate that vote in a primary. And we 464 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: know sometimes of people that vote in a primary aren't 465 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: necessarily those you know, those folks that are middle of 466 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: the row. Those are the folks that are a little 467 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: bit more conservative, the ones that we can always expect 468 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: to come out. And what Jabe Prister is doing is 469 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: he's confusing them, and he's picking his own general, his 470 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: own Republicans, a candidate that faith in the general, one 471 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: that he knows he can beat easily, one that can't 472 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: get the Republicans an independent and Democratic crossover to win. 473 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: He knows that, and he knows that I'm the best 474 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: champ of actually turning the state purple or getting it 475 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: close to red, which is why he's getting so much money, 476 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: the most in history stop me from getting to the 477 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: general election. Richard Irvan currently the mayor of Aurora in Illinois, 478 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: and he's now running for the gubernatorial nomination for the Republicans. 479 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: That primary takes place tomorrow, will following this race closely. 480 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: I think you'd be a great governor in Illinois. And 481 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: you say, well, Hannity, what's the odds of Republican can 482 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: win Illinois. I'd say, in this year, nobody knows. All 483 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: bets are off. You know, the most amazing thing to 484 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: me is I'm telling anybody that will listen to me. 485 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: Running as a Republican, I said, you need to reach 486 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: out to every single solitary part of either your district 487 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: or your state and shake every hand and meet every 488 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: person and explain. Don't let the left define what conservatism 489 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: is because I don't recognize their definition of conservatism, you know, 490 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: which is Republicans are racist and their sexist and misogynists 491 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: and homophobic and xenophobic and islamophobic and now transphobic, and 492 00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: they want dirty air and water, and they want to 493 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: all our children and grandma and grandpa. That's not going 494 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: to work in my mind. And the other thing they 495 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: seem to be running on is now with this the 496 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: overturning of Row and the Second Amendment case that came 497 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: out from the Supreme Court last week, they're gonna run 498 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: on that.
