Sean Hannity showed this Friday, eight hundred 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.440 and nine four one. Shawn is on number. You want 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.880 to be a part of the program. Always a privilege 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.360 to welcome back to the program. Former Speaker of the House, 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:15.560 New King Rich Mister Speaker has a new book soon 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.279 to be released. It's called Trump's Triumph that talks about 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.120 changing the nation, the world and their President Trump. You know, 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.640 I'm actually kind of focusing in on the shock and 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:31.080 awe aspect and all the reverberations surrounding Donald Trump and 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.000 this week the milestone of one hundred days and the 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.760 left going insane and crazy and absolutely they are the 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:44.280 nuts party, and more importantly, how the president has taken 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:49.240 on the institutionalist mindset and he looks at everything anew 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.720 and that is shocking to people. And it's not shocking 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.040 to people like yourself, because you, in your way did 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.200 it in a major way actually when you were a 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.480 Speaker of the House. But it took some used to 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.120 Before you even became speaker, they were saying you're the 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.760 screwge that stole Christmas. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.119 Well, before we jump into that, I. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.120 Just reminding you of the fond memories of yesterday here. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.160 Well, we still are the only people to balance the 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.960 budget for four years and literally one hundred last century 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.280 in one hundred years. So I'm pretty proud of that. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.280 And now we have a chance to travel. But I'm 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.800 not letting you get off of last night. I thought 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.360 you putting, first of off, putting President Trump in a 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:34.759 great speech at Alabama, and then pivoting immediately to Kamala 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:40.440 Harris looking lonely, pathetic, confused. I thought that was as 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.280 cruel as anything I talked. I talked to the President 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.560 later on because I thought his speech was historic and extraordinary. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.720 I told him, I thought what you did was really mean? 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.440 What was mean about it? 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.559 Because she's perfect. Look just by herself, she's pathetic. Would 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:56.800 you put her up next to Trump? 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.680 Kind of by design? If you know, I actually think 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.160 through these things. And I thought it was a perfect transition. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.200 I mean, and if you remember, I stopped at one 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.200 point and I said, I need to, as a public service, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.320 thank each and every one of you for going out 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.880 and working so hard and voting in this election to 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:14.760 save us from that. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.720 Oh I know, and I tell you that was as 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.000 bad as I've ever seen her. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.040 I mean, it was so I don't know what was worse, 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.640 the giggling, the elephants story, or the dancing. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.480 Or just or just the look on her face. I mean, 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:35.040 it's like, you know, she's something. I think she cannot 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.079 come to grips with having lost, and so she's now 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.720 living in a total fantasy world. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.800 Anyway, But isn't that the case for most people? Haven't 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.320 everyone we learned that yet? No? No, I mean, isn't 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.000 it the regular practice. Though somebody runs for president, they 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.840 all believe they're going to win. That's what I've learned. Sure, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.520 and they they and and some people a lot of 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.400 people we've seen in our lifetime. Hillary Clinton would be one. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.560 I'd argue John McCain was never the same after he lost. 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.600 Mitt Romney was never the same after he lost. I mean, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.960 you can go down the list and people lose and 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.080 then they lose their minds. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.960 That's true, and maybe that's what's happened to her, which, frankly, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.720 considering how little she had to lose, is not as 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.680 big a loss as it could have been. Because but 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.600 I just thought it was remarkable, and by the way, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.280 I went back, I got so intrigued after the show. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.839 I went back and got the transcript. I think there's 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.040 a section towards the end where Trump goes through ten 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.119 lessons of life that he has learned that I think 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.880 is so remarkable that I'm encouraging the administration to find 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.080 ways to get a distributed I mean, it is the 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:47.440 essence of an intelligent, serious conservatism at a personal level. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.160 And it's funny of bringing all this up because I 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.080 watched I had never watched a long documentary about him, 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.720 and I saw one. Maybe it was on Netflix or Apple, 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.880 I don't remember, and I just watched it and I 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.240 said to him in a private conversation, and I don't 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.680 mind sharing it with you. I'm sure he wouldn't care 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:13.320 that what a remarkable life this man has lived. And 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.000 I know the four hardest years. I mean, he could 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.360 have walked away in twenty twenty one and just said 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.320 I became president and gone on him with the rest 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.720 of his life, and probably they would have left him 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.120 alone as my guest. And he decided to fight back, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.640 and he made it his mission, and he put all 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.960 his chips in the middle of the table, and it 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.240 was either the White House or frankly, in my view 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.440 of the Big House, there was nowhere in between, and 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.279 he laid it on the line for his country, for 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.680 what he believed in, and just being the fighter that 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.920 he is. And that's what the shock and awe that 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.400 we see politically every day. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.000 Well, that's right, and what I was impressed with. I 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.360 put myself in the place of this young pe people 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.279 at that commencement speech. And here's the guy who is 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.520 a billionaire, who is the PRESUNDENTI states, who has survived 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.880 assassination attempts, impeachment attempts, efforts to put him in jail, 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.440 and he is literally at one point in the speech 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.280 sharing and it's very effective. I mean I've literally spent 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.840 part of the morning going over and thinking about it, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:26.359 sharing ten lessons about life that he had learned that 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.480 he wanted them to learn. And it was a reminder 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.120 to me that Trump is much more a cultural figure 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.520 with political consequences than he is a traditional political figure. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.240 The reason he resonates is he speaks to the very 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.839 core of American values, to the work ethic, to a 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.000 belief in a better future, to a willingness to do 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.599 what it takes to win. I mean, it is truly 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.240 and I heard all of our listeners to just get 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.200 that one section, which I'm going to post it at 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.560 the English three sixty because I think it's so. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.359 From you know what, In many ways, I see a 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.080 lot of similarities in you. I remember one speech you 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.800 gave I am a genuine revolutionary, you know, the speech 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.400 that I'm referring to. Yeah, and the way that people 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.720 took that the wrong way. But you know, if there 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.000 was three waves of conservatism in our lifetime, culminating in 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.560 the MAGA movement or Make America Great Again movement, I mean, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.440 it was Reagan, it was the Gingrich Revolution, and this 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.720 is now somebody that is literally taking a chainsaw to 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.720 the conventional thinking in Washington, which I think is beyond 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.279 refreshing to me, which is why the leftists lost their 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.960 mind in this spirit and frankly they've become, my view, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.320 have become a soloist party. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.680 Well, I think that's right, and you're going to see this. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.040 You don't hear me talk about this a lot in 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.680 the next six weeks. Republic The Republican Plan on Medicaid 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.400 raises spending every year that never cuts it. The Democrats 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.120 are going to back to your point by having no 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.760 soul Democrats as a strategy, are going to lie to 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.440 the American people every day, and I think it's a 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.960 trap for them. I think when the American people realize 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.120 and we just did a poll at the American's New 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.560 Majority Project that we run, and when people are told 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.320 the facts, only fourteen percent think that in a way 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.520 of cut. Everybody else is totally happy with it, believes 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.200 it's a fair thing to do. And this is an 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.680 example where Trump is going to be I think extraordinarily 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.720 important and I'm hoping that he'll go on the road 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.800 and go go ten at least ten districts held by 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.480 Democrats where he had a majority of the vote and 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.360 explain exactly what's going to be in the reconciliation bill 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.400 and why you should vote yes. And I think it'll 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.160 be one of the great moments in American history because 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.080 the country will rally and the country will say, Yeah, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.360 this is the kind of change we need. And the 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.440 Democrats that interfaced with either crumbling and doing what Trump 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:55.160 wants or I think, basically put themselves in a long 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.120 term decline as a dishonest, corrupt party that votes for 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:00.720 things that just can't explain. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.480 You see, but the reason you're so knowledgeable about this, 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.320 and I lived this with you and watched it all unfold. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:13.760 When you reduced it's called baseline budgeting, built in spending increases. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:19.000 That that's the establishment thinking process, where you budget in 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.280 a ten percent increase every year for however many years, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.640 and then you know, you insisted on a seven percent 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.240 increase every year for seven years, and they were calling 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.880 it a cut. It was not a cut. It was 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.160 a seven percent increase every year. Those are the exact 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.960 numbers that we were debating back then, and the exact 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.679 same lies that Trump will deal with that you had to. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.920 Deal with, you know, the one thing I give him 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.920 credit for, though I wasn't fine enough to couple the 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.240 idea of fake as a way of just describing all 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.079 of it. So I've said recently, the last three bastions 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.120 of opposing Trump are the fake news media, the fake 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.120 district judges, and the fake CBO. And fake CBO is 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.360 going to produce a fake score, and we need to 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.280 deal with it that way. We need to say that 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.160 people upfront, this is part of the corruption. You're tired of. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.559 These people lie to you because they want your money. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.000 I wrote a piece of the day on the movie 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.360 Jerry maguire where the football player. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.600 Has shown me the money. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.360 Yeah, I said, you want to know what the heart 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.600 of the fight over reconciliation is going to be. It's 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.400 going to be every interest group saying show me the money. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.880 There no policies, no sense. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.920 By the way, you know, you know who is resisting 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:35.480 now the most Republican lawmakers in California and New York 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.920 because they want salt deduction, state and local taxes deducted, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.560 and how much that they ought to be able to 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.520 deduct every year, which to me only rewards states that 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.920 elect tax and spend liberal local politicians. I know why 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.480 they're doing it, because it seems like they're bringing the 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.840 bacon back to the district. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.760 Yeah, I think. I Look, when you're when you're in 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.160 the very marginal district, in your anxiety written you try 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.720 to figure out how to appea these people. But in 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.320 the long run you're better off to win the argument. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.600 This will be a good bill California. By the way, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:12.040 as a state legislator, just this week, a Democrat who 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.720 proposed that the first twenty five thousand dollars you steel 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.000 in welfare should not be considered a crime. 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.319 In this the bill you got to be kidding. And 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:21.720 by the way, you know what they took out of 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.920 that bill. There was this one bill if somebody's assaulted, 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.600 it would be a misdemeanor. It's against a woman I 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.280 believe sixteen or seventeen years old. Off I'm not mistaken 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.120 that they put that in the bill. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.800 Oh, I know. I mean the California Democrats, I think 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.679 are the epitome of having lost their minds. 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.920 Well, let me ask you. Do you think Gavin Newsom? 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.480 I think Do you agree with me? I think he 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.200 has his eyes on the White House. Do you think 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.319 he has any shot? 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.600 Oh? Look, this is a free country. Everybody has a shot. 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.480 I mean, there were sixteen guys that got on the 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.240 stage with Donald Trump. They all had a shot. They 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.280 just didn't get to win. Do I think Newsom will 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.600 be the next president? No? I think when people learn 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.120 how really sick California has become, how many people are 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.600 leaving it because they just can't stand it, and how 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.720 much Nuissemus part of the San Francisco mafia. These guys 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.400 are a corrupt, old machine of huge amounts of money, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.920 and they're so far to the left that they probably 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.000 wonder you know why people at Gorbashaw were so moderate? 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.560 All right? Quick break right back, more with former Speaker 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.360 of the House New King Rich on the other side 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.520 than your calls coming up eight hundred and nine four 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.360 one Sean.

I have to continued, Former Speaker 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.960 of the House, New Gingrich is with us. So I'm 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.360 asking everybody questions only because I just just at a 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.120 pure interest. If you had the guest today, who's going 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.199 to be the Democrats nominee in twenty. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.599 Eight I have no idea. I think I think it 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.679 will be probably an unknown person. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.960 You really do it may. 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.680 Well be a billionaire who comes out of nowhere. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.199 Do you see any path for a moderate let's say 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.880 it Joshapiro to get the nomination, because I don't. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.800 Oh yeah, well there's a path, but it'll be tough. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.839 I read Pritsker's speech in New Hampshire. Now, Prisko is 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.360 rich enough that if he wants to run, he can 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.280 fund the whole thing. Now, he's also I think a 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.880 terrible governor. He's a left wing earned not a very 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:41.200 attractive personality, but there's so many people like that. Out there, 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.760 and I don't think we know yet. If trump Ism 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.640 is working, if the economy, which I think it will be, 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.080 if the economy is booming, if we really are healthier, safer, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.280 and people feel good about it. The Democrats will be 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.000 in turmodel because some of them will rationally say, shouldn't 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.600 we kind of go towards the center, But their hard 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.080 left is going to say no. You know, you have 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.120 to be of the true faith, you have to be 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.280 for things that are insane if you're not, which is 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.720 the whole story of the California Republic Democratic Party. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:17.080 Democratic primary voters tend to be leaning towards the more 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.040 radical left, don't you agree? 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.440 Yeah? I think I think you get the excitement and 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.520 the turnout with the Bernie Sanders AOC, you know, and 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.160 and and you know. I mean to be fair Newsome 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.160 if if he starts with California, he has a pretty 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.240 big block to start with. But I personally find Newsome 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.960 not convincing. I mean, he is so plastic. That might 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.400 just be my bias because I'm come from a different 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.360 brand of politics, but I mean, I frankly think that 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.560 that the governor of Michigan is much more dangerous. So 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.760 the governor of Pennsylvania are both much more dangerous than 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.080 he is. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.080 But again, you know, where's the energy in the party, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.680 the energies towards AOC, Bernie and Jazz and Crockett. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.360 That's right. You know. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.280 I'm going to go over the ten things that you're 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.120 going to post on Gingridge three sixty and we'll link 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.840 to yours when you put it up on Hannity dot com. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.960 Mister speaker, we always enjoy having you. I first interviewed 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.880 Nuke Gingridge in nineteen ninety in Decatur, Alabama, in a 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:24.280 holiday in hotel room. And there is a picture somewhere 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.400 I don't know where, but there is one I have, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.200 and I have a renewing American civilization. What do you 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.120 call those tapes? The vhas tapes? I have those for 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.640 you that I promised I have to get a mailed 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:38.000 out to you. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.520 The American civilization was it's the course, I thought, and 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:42.040 then it is. 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.520 It's been. I went back and watched it. I ordered 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.160 it on like eBay years ago, and then I kept it. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.920 Yeah, I think it's fair to say I got to 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.760 be a much more competent politician, and you got to 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.120 be a much more confident radio host. But boy, I 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.720 would love to have that original interview of the two 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.480 of us. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.360 I would I would rather never hear it as long 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.560 as I live. I really don't want to go by. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.360 I can't stand listening to old shows of mine. I 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.000 hate it. I hate I hate watching myself or listening 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.760 to myself. It's awful, it's torture. You want to torture me, 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.480 just play tapes of me around the clock. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.080 That's something absurd. I sort of fell in love with 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.720 you because your pure guts. You didn't you didn't know 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.040 a lot of that, but by God, you were gonna try. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.680 And I just thought that is exactly what we need. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.160 And when you see this stuff from Trump, you'll see 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.440 yourself hard. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.440 No, okay, I'm gonna go over that one at the 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.720 bottom of the hour, New Gingrich. We appreciate it as always, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.360 Thank you, sir. All right, let's get to our busy phones. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.680 All right, what are you whispering in my ear?

We've got 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.479 about twelve and a half inches over the last two weeks, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.439 and trying to fix senses and keep cows in the 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.359 pasture but to creaksuck to keep washing them away. 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.720 Now do you do you? Are you a farmer? What 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:36.520 do you do for a living? 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:38.120 Right now? 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:43.200 I'm a full time ranch hand, so you know, there's 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.200 about eight thousand acres and stuff where I work at 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.840 and trying to take care of all these cows and 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.040 horses and everything, and so. 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.560 You're living like the Yellowstone life, which, by the way, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.080 when I'm having a bad day, I'm thinking maybe working 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.760 a ranch wouldn't be such a bad deal. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.439 Well, it comes in and you know it's good and 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.879 it's bad days. You know, some days or worse than others. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.120 But you know, we like to see the rain because 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.840 we've had We've had lunch without rain, and that's worse 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.560 than it being flooded. So I'll take high waters over 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:13.800 low waters at oy of the week. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.160 No, I get it. I mean it's it's it's tough. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:18.879 I don't care if you're farming. I don't care if 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.320 you're ranching. But I'm grateful to farmers and ranchers and 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:28.639 truckers because they keep our store shelves full and I 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.960 get to go on Instacart or go to the store 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.920 and pick out whatever I want. And you know, I 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.280 just ordered a bunch of steaks yesterday New York Strip 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.320 and had one for breakfast this morning with my eggs. 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:41.840 It was great. 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.440 Yeah, let me say them steaks.
