Our number is 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.600 eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.280 to be a part of the program. An effort started 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.880 yesterday by conservative House Republicans, along with the Speaker of 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:39.200 the House, Mike Johnson, legislation that is aimed at blocking 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.120 non citizens from voting in US elections. I may surprise 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.959 you that it didn't become law, got stopped in the courts, 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.040 but in New York City, for example, they wanted to 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.040 allow illegal immigrants to vote local elections in DC. We 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.320 just had recently the city council there voting to allow 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:03.400 illegal immigrants to vote in local elections. But anyway, they 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.160 held the big press conference yesterday with the leaders in 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.120 the House and the Senate. It's being spearheaded by Congressman 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.000 Ship Roy in the House and Senator Mike Lee in 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.960 the Senate. And the bill obviously comes amid this flood 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.640 of what are illegal immigrants, over ten million unvetted Joe 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.880 Biden illegals. I'll keep repeating, tens and tens of thousands 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.880 from our top geopolitical foes, and that would be China 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:32.480 and Russia, that would be Egypt, and Afghanistan and Yemen, 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.440 that would be Iran, that would be Syria, And they're 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.720 all flooding into the country, which means that, unfortunately for 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.720 all of us, that it's not a matter of if, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.079 it's a matter of when this country's going to be 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.040 attacked again. I have no doubt in my mind, and 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.640 I pray to God that I'm wrong, but I know 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.280 I'm not. Now the issue comes down to, Okay, well 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.560 Democrats they don't want voter ID why not they don't 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.600 want signature verification. But this well, obviously now has become 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.880 important and necessary amid this flood of Joe Biden unvetted 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.040 legal immigrants in the country and Democrats fighting hard to 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.119 allow illegal immigrants. I mean, think about this. It makes 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.760 no sense, does it. Why would they be allowed to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.520 vote in any election? And by the way, it's not 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.520 just New York and d C. Other parts of the 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.760 country have been dealing with this as well. Anyway, Congressman 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.600 Ship Roy of Texas is back with us. Congressmen, great 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.680 to have you. Thank you for being with us. I 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.920 can't even believe we're at a point in this country 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.480 where this has to be even considered as law. I 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.000 can't believe we're at a point in this country where 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640 you need an ID, for example, to go visit If 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.840 I wanted to go visit you in Congress, I need 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.800 a picture I did to be able to get in 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.080 the capital the last time I voted, before I exited 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.880 New York uh and became a full time resident of 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.280 Florida this year. You know, sure enough, I walked in 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.160 him mister Hannity, how are you uh? And I start 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.000 to pull out my wile, Oh, you don't need an 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.800 id alike figures right anyway, Chip Roy, welcome back to 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.880 the program. Tell us the status of all this and 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.240 what you're planning to do here. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.880 Sean great to be on and yeah, you just laid 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.720 it out perfectly well as usual. And yesterday I just 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.520 wanted to say, was I think a really good day 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.240 for what I think ought to be a strong six 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.960 month run of Republicans demonstrating how radical and extreme the 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.279 radical progressive Democrat agenda really is. We had two things yesterday. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.839 One a press conference that you just described, where we 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.880 put forward with Speaker Mike Johnson standing there with me, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.919 Senator Mike Lee, who's doing the Senate version of the 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.120 bill you just described, which we call the Save Act, 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.280 which is designed to say that it will be federal 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:49.120 law to require proof of documentary proof of citizenship when 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.760 you register to vote in federal elections, and that we 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.599 want to make sure that only citizens are therefore able 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.240 to vote, and that states are able to enforce that law, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.560 which currently they're not able to. There is a federal 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.600 law now that says that only citizens vote, but in 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.320 the motor voter laws, it prohibits the states from doing 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.279 the things necessary to check that citizenship, which is crazy. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.080 We've had good bills to say that will allow states 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.279 to do it. This bill goes further because of the 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.320 times where we stand today to just say, look, it 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.240 is our duty in Congress to require that if you're 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.440 voting in a federal election, you're going to have to 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.760 show proof of citizenship. That's it. Guess what, that is 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.680 an eighty seven percent issue. If you pull it, like 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.960 eighty percent of Democrats supports that, Sean, it's off the charts. 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.240 So we put that out there. I hope we can 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.080 move that through the House. We're going to try to 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.200 do that in the next couple of weeks. Speak our 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.320 job to this demonstrating great leadership on that point, and 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.760 then hopefully we'll send it to the Senate and see 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.960 what they do. I mean, look, my guess is they'll 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:54.960 oppose it and not bring it up. But you know what, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.080 good luck explaining that. The second thing that we did 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.400 yesterday was we pass a bill on the floor of 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.880 the House to require that we check citizenship status in 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:10.560 the census and then only used citizens when we do 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.320 apportionment of our members of Congress. Literally on a party 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.760 line vote, two hundred and two Democrats unanimously opposed. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.080 Two hundred and two to two hundred and six. You 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.800 can't get one Democrat, not one that supports us, not one. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.560 It's shocking but very revealing of the current state of 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.240 the radical progressive Democrats that has been frankly undermining every 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.600 bit of what we've been trying to do for the 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.800 last two years. I have been and we don't need 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.279 to get into this in detail. Obviously at times a 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.760 critic of Republicans not pushing harder at times. But I 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.000 want all the listeners, all the conservatives out there, to 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.520 understand we have held the ball on our side of 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.919 the field, meaning we've had flat spending on non defense. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.440 We increased defense spending by cutting the IRS. We ended 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.920 any discussion of amnesty, We moved a good border security bill. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.880 We now have passed these legislations to try to fix 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.520 what's going on with our apportionment of our members of Congress, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.039 and by the way, the electoral College for president, and 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.600 these radical progressive Democrats want none of it. They've blocked 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.480 us at every turn. They stopped HR two, they bought 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.480 us on spending, they're fighting us on this common sense 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.160 UH proposal to make sure that our voting rules are protected, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.160 and to make sure that our apportionment is for citizens only. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.440 This is the state of the modern Democratic Party. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.720 Show So explain to me why anybody would be against us, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.440 Because if you're not for election integrity laws as simple, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.280 as basic and as fundamental as you are describing here, 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.680 there's got to be a reason for it. And I 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.320 would imagine that we're beginning to see that that reason 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.960 reveal itself when you see radical Democrats in New York 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.960 City and d C and other other leftists havens around 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.160 the country as they unite together to allow illegal immigrants 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.560 to vote in local elections, because, as you rightly point out, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.400 there is federal law that prevents them from voting from 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.480 in federal elections. But you know, you're taking this a 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.040 step further. You're saying, if you want to register to vote, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.320 you've got to show that you're an American citizen. Why 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.320 is that so onerous? Why is that considered unfair? What 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.280 is their argument against that? Because why do I need 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.760 to show I'm you know, I'm not exactly eighteen years 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.360 old anymore, and I don't look like I'm eighteen years old, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.120 and yet I have to show an idea if I'm 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.040 going to buy a jewel pod, or if I'm going 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.480 to buy a six pack of Corps Light or whatever 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.480 else I might be drinking on any given day. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.400 Yeah, Sean, look, I think what we're seeing is remember, 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.880 if you go back in time, we had differences with 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.760 our Democratic colleagues, but you had Democrats like Barbara George Right, 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:51.359 a known civil rights champion and someone that broke ceilings 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.080 from Texas. Barbara Jordans, you know, chared a commission on 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.840 illegal immigration under President Clinton in which she made very 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.400 clear the need for strong border security and to end 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.320 the flow of the legal immigration because it was bad 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.360 for immigrants, bad for America. We've had such a move 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:13.520 away from common sense by our Democratic colleagues. Democrats voted 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.480 for the law that currently exist. It says only citizens 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.280 can vote. But I bet if you held that vote 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.839 today on just that question, they would have problems getting 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.840 any Democrats to support it. We'll see, because obviously the 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.600 overwhelming majority of Americans support it. But they're so out 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.600 of touch because they don't believe in sovereignty, they don't 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.520 believe in American exceptionalism, they don't believe, frankly, that we 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:42.079 should even have a border at all. They don't believe 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.679 we should have fences and restrictions and ability to come 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.160 into the United States. And again I remind people out 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.440 there who I know. I've got a lot of my 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.640 you know, faith, people of faith who are like Chip. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.160 But you know, we've got to make sure and everybody's 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.040 all and they're welcome. And we're a nation of immigrants, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.560 I know. But guess what. Fifty one and a half 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.520 million people in the United States today are foreign born. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.840 We allow in about a million a year legally. This 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.959 trope that we're anti immigrant that don't allow immigrants to come. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:09.439 In is faith. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.680 It's not true. It's fake news. The fact is we're 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.640 a native immigrants. But we're at a point now where 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.880 we're exploding the numbers of the legal immigration. Known people 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.560 who want to do us harm. And now on this issue, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.240 Democrats who want people to come here and vote regardless 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.720 of their citizenship, as you pointed out in DC San Francisco, 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.480 Liberal Haven, that's what they want. They're already doing it 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.640 in state and local elections. They want to do it 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.160 in federal elections. And that's why we have to act. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.280 We have a duty in a republic Texas has to 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.600 protect our vote against the radicals in San Francisco, and 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.360 same Florida, you have to protect against the radicals in 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:48.720 your former state of New York. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.920 All right, quick break right back more with Congressman Ship 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.120 Royo Texas and then your calls on the other side 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.960 of eight one hundred and ninety four one Sean, if 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.960 you want to be a part of the program, we 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.720 can tell you now with Congressman Chip roy great state 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.440 of Texas. You know, as I listened to you, what 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.439 I like about this issue, and I've talked a lot 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.360 about ninety ten or in this case, eighty seven to 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:16.400 thirteen issue, eighty twenty issues, seventy five, twenty five issues. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.160 In other words, on all of these important issues of 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.360 the day. I think it should be the business of 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.679 the House to put all of these issues before every 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.640 Democrat and Republican for that matter, because with all due respect, Congressman, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.560 you have some weak Rhino Republicans that I'm really fed 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.280 up and disgusted with among your coalition. I really am. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.040 You were there the night it was after Mike Johnson 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.439 became speaker. I brought everybody together and I said, you're 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.000 gonna succeed together or you're going to fail together. And 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.840 I wasn't wrong in my prediction, but I would like 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.440 to take every major issue from immigration, voting integrity issues 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.240 as you're bringing up here. I want to talk about 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.319 late term abortion, tax payer funded abortion. I want to 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.400 talk about the economy and balanced budgets. I want to 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.040 talk about defund dismantle no bail laws, et cetera, and 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.640 put in support of Israel's right to win the war 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.920 against terrorism that they're now engaged in that Joe Biden 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.320 has abandoned them on. And I'd like to get the 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:26.800 Democrats on record before the election on November fifth, which 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.120 is really before November fifth, because early voting, voting by 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.400 mail begins, you know, god knows how early this year, 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.400 and we have all that on Hannaday dot com. But 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.880 I think this should be a vote on every major 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.160 issue so that the voters are very aware, you know, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.720 where every every single candidate stands on every single issue, 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.000 Republican and Democrat. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.360 Well, Sean, I could not agree more. This is why 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.640 I said I think yesterday was a great day for 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.800 the next six months where we align and we do 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.040 what we need to do to demonstrate the American people 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.640 where there is a clear line of distinction between our 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.840 democratic colleagues and ourselves. Again, they are radical progressive Democrats 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.520 who want wide open borders, who don't mind underminding the 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.280 rule of law, who are fine putting criminals on the streets, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.120 who undermine the beliefe at every turn, who spend money 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.079 at every turn, who want to increase your taxes, who 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.480 want all to good on the list, all of the 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.280 woke stuff, undermining the military, all the vans. They are 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.600 radically opposed to your way of life if you're a 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.080 hard working American. They're forgiving student loans, They're fufueling all 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.160 of this nonsense and the hatred and anti semitism on 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:29.559 our campus. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.880 By the way, didn't we have a Supreme Court ruling 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.400 on the issue of student loans? I mean, don't we 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.760 have laws that Joe Biden is not enforcing on the border. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.120 How is he getting away with all of that? Well, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.640 and parties getting away with it because you have weak 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.480 Republicans that won't stand on principle on a lot of 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.400 these issues, haven't supported people like Jim Jordan and James 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.280 Comer and their investigations and the work that they've been doing. Obviously, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.199 you know, I think it's clear the quid pro quo 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.439 with Joe and well, why would a vice president go 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.960 against the administration policy leverage a billion taxpayer dollars to 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.120 get a prosecutor in Ukraine fired unless you find out 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.440 that his drug addicts son, who has no experience in 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.000 oil energy gas coal of Ukraine, is getting paid millions 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.840 by a big oil conglomerate in Ukraine. I mean, all 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.320 of this stuff should be no brainers for Republicans, but 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.800 you know what, you have a coalition there of left 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.360 wing Republicans that are no help. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.920 No, that's exactly right, and that's an important point without 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.240 going too far backwards, because we need to look forwards 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.280 and beating Democrats. But this is where to some degree Bothe, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.160 Kevin McCarthy, and Mike Johnson's hands are are certainly, if 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.800 not tied, they were undermined by certain members of the 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.800 Conference who just vote the wrong way. Let me give 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.360 you an example. We forced all those votes last year 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.120 on appropriations bills. We were changing the House in a 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.760 good way. One of the votes we had in September 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.360 was when we've had a vote on defunding NRA entirely. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.600 Now we had worked into the base bill language I 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.520 put for to undo a lot of unresdamaged. But we 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.720 had a full defund vote three weeks before, less than 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.040 three weeks before to ten to seven the October seventh 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.880 attacks on our friends in Israel. Eight Republicans voted against that. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.080 There are numerous examples I could give you Sean where 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.280 we're trying to fight to actually wrestle control of the 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.720 party back away from the Unit Party and some weak Republicans. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.400 The bottom line is they answer your question. Until Republicans 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.000 figure out that you have to unite to use the 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.120 power of the purse to force change from an executive 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.840 branch that's not following your rules or following what you 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.080 put forward to following the law, then you're never going 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.560 to change it. Anthon and Scalia gave a great speech 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.360 on this, and I'm happy to send it to you 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.080 where he made this whole point. When people are complaining 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.160 about the court not fixing some things, he ses, Look, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.200 we can fix certain things when it's a violation of law, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.720 but Congress has to a flex its muscle to stop 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.480 an executive branches out of control. So here we are, 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.040 we're putting forward now great legislation on making sure only 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.280 citizens can vote. We're going to keep pushing that issue. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.080 We're going to keep pushing border security. We have the 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.840 spending fight here and for the fiscal twenty five we 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.680 probably need to kick a cr into next year so 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.480 we can focus on getting President Trump elected and then 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.360 fix all of this. Then, well that's where the clock is. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:16.680 Now. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.800 You got one hundred and seventy nine days. Congressmen, work hard, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:24.240 We need you. We appreciate your time. Sent Congressman Chip Roy, Texas. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.200 Thank you, sir, eight hundred nine to four one show 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.640 on number if you want to be a part of 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.080 the program. All right, twenty five to the top of 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.440 the hour. We're going to get your calls here in 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:38.360 just a second. I mean, Biden is so detached as 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.280 it relates to the economy, so clueless and out of touch. Oh, 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.160 Americans have the money to spend when told the grocery 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.920 prices are up thirty percent. Now this became a disaster 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.800 of an interview on fake news c and then this 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.840 is why they don't want Joe giving interviews except for 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.120 Howard Stern and the view. This is why Joe Biden, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.960 you know, he can't walk without looking decrepit, so that's 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.919 why they try to surround him as he walks to 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.280 and from Marine one. This is why he can barely 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.960 get up the little boy stairs on Air Force one. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.920 This is why, oh, we're going to do shorter speeches, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.399 quality over quantity, because he can't give a speech. He 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.679 can barely, you know, string together five sentences for crying 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:28.120 out loud. But he's asked about you know, Okay, prices 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.840 are up. Grocery prices alone. Now I go grocery shopping myself, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.000 or occasionally, when I'm lazy, I use Instacart, which I 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.679 kind of like too, but I like to I like 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.040 to go grocery shopping. I don't know why I'm a loser, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.080 but anyway, but there prices are up significantly. I'm not 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.679 saying I can't afford it. But when sixty percent of 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.679 my fellow Americans will live in paycheck to paycheck and 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.840 I live that way at for a pretty long period 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.440 in the beginning of my adult life, it sucks. I'm 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.280 telling you it sucks. Imagine if you have kids and 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.960 you live in that way, it sucks that much more. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.920 And by the way, is the illegal immigration is now 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.360 boosting mortgage rates. You know, this is why Gallup has 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.399 pointed out Americans expect home prices to increase. Yeah, of 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.560 course they're going to increase, you know, and people aren't 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.800 buying homes. That's another problem. And then here's Biden on 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.560 the economy. Oh, we've turned the economy around. No, you haven't, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.080 and it's not the strongest in the world. He's just 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:28.640 flat out line to us. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.440 Listen, you're aware of many of these. Of course, the 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.199 cost of buying a home in the United States is 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.320 double what it was when you look at your monthly 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.040 costs from before the pandemic. Real income when you account 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.960 for inflation, is actually down since you took office, economic 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.920 growth last week far short of expectations. Consumer confidence maybe 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:51.440 no surprise, is near a two year low with less 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.840 than six months to go to election day. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.200 Are you worried that you're running. 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:57.439 Out of time to turn that around. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.240 We've already turned it up. We have the strongest accompan 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.879 in the world, we say it again, in the world. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.520 Although GDP last week was far short of expectations. 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.760 Alwyn't look. GP's still looking for response to the markets. 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.040 But there's real pain. I mean grocery prices are up 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.840 thirty percent, more than thirty percent since the beginning of 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.000 the pandemic, and people are spending war on food and 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.720 groceries than they have at any time really in the 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.119 past thirty years. I mean, that's a real day to 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:26.439 day pain that people. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.920 No, it really is, and it's FREEO. But the fact 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.680 is that if you take a look at what them 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.320 and people have, they have the money to spend now. 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.159 David Axrod said, oh, no, he's made progress on the No, 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.600 he's not made progress on the economy. They just dismisses 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.919 low consumer confidence. The last two months, respectively, we've had 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:54.640 an increase of inflation, the consumer Price index year over year, 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.400 up three point two percent the first month, then three 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.520 point five percent the second. That's why not going to 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.240 get any rate cut this year. But there was something 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.000 that Axelrod said that didn't that I did take note of. 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:12.360 He pointed out that Joe's arrogance and his pride may 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.240 cost him the election. Why because he's out of touch 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.119 with reality. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:22.040 Listen, they're experiencing it through the lens of the cost 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.399 of living. And he is a man who's built his 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:30.560 career on empathy, where is why not lead with the empathy. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.240 And I think he's making a terrible mistake. You know, 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.400 it may not be if he doesn't win this race. 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.399 It may not be Donald Trump that beats him. It 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.200 may be his own pride. 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.480 That is not the America that Joe Biden is describing 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.000 that every American is facing. And yeah, there's a lot 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:50.800 of arrogance and pride. And probably, you know, because I 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.320 doubt he reads on his own very much. Probably you 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.560 know the people around him that are covering for his 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.359 decrepit state and his cognitive decline line, Probably those people 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.000 are the ones filling his head full of garbage and 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.920 nonsense and lies. Anyway, eight hundred and nine four one, 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.440 Sean our number. If you want to be a part 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:17.720 of the program today, let's go to Dave in Ohio. Dave, 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:21.440 we love our friends in Ohio. Dave, You're a great American. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.439 God bless you, God bless American. I want a full report. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.640 I bet you know who I'm talking about there. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:28.600 How you doing, Sean? 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.760 Can you ever listen to Willie Cunningham cunning him? 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.520 No, I have not, I have not. 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:40.520 All right, He's a radio icon of all time and 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.640 one of the most successful, longest running hosts in the country. 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.960
