Speaker 1: Coming up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.

Speaker 2: I News round Up, Information Overload Hour toll free this Friday,

Speaker 2: public service, the Walls files as a public service at

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,519

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: own radicalism, so you can be as informed a voter

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: as possible. Now, Kamala has talked an awful lot recently

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: about being a gun owner, and you know she's been

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: brought What kind of gun do you have? I have

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: a glock. Have you fired it? Of course I fired it. Listen,

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: you recently surprised people when you said that you are

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: a gun owner, and then if someone.

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: Came into your house, not the first time I shot it.

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: That's not the first time I've talked about it.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: So what kind of gun do you own?

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 4: And when? And why did you get it?

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: I have a clock and I've had it for quite

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: some time, and I mean, look belt, my background is

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: in law enforcement, and so there you go.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 5: Have you ever fired it?

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: Yes, of course I have at a shooting range. Yes

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: of course I have.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: And then she warns intruders. If somebody breaks into her house,

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: they're getting shot. I thought liberals are against stand your

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: ground rules and laws.

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: Does God know that.

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: House a getting shot?

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 6: Yes?

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I hear that.

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I hear that.

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: Probably should not have said that, but my will deal

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: with that later.

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: Uh okay, if you want to believe that this is

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: the person that also and I have a cut of this.

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: You know, she in her own words, it's part of

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: our Kamala Files series, if you will, had talked about

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: a mandatory gun buyback program. Now I'm not making it

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: up because she said it, and she said it in

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: her own words. Listen, what would you do about the

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation.

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: What do you do about those?

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 7: Well, there are approximately five million.

49
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: To your point, Craig, we have to have a buyback program.

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: And I support a mandatory buyback program. That's got to

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: be smart. We got to do it the right way.

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: And she has vigorously championed gun control for years as

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: the San Francisco DA. She stated, quote, just because you

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: legally possess a gun, and we have this tape, I'll

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: play it. Just because you legally possess a gun in

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: the sanctity of your life locked home, does it mean

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: that we're not going to walk into that home and

58
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: check and see if you are being responsible. I thought

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: we had something called the Constitution. I thought that constitution

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: talked at length about unreasonable search and seizure that would

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: seem unconstitutional to me. Here's what she said.

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 7: So this is about just basically saying that we're going

63
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 7: to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 7: just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 7: of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 7: to walk into that home and check to see if

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 7: you're being responsible and safe and the way you conduct

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 7: your affair.

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: Joining us now, John Lote, president of the Crime Prevention

70
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 2: Research Center, who wrote this article, mister Lot, doctor Lott,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: welcome back to the program, sir.

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: How are you doing great? Thanks for having me on Sean,

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 5: Like all of.

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Her radical positions. I don't believe in this this conversion

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: that she's trying to portray, you know, this election year

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: conversion as we call it. I think the real Kamala

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: Harris has been the one that supports the mandatory gun

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: buyback program, the one that doesn't believe that you need

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: a search warrant and feels she has the right to

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: go in and check on your guns, which would also

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: imply some type of registry of guns. And the Kamala

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: Harris has been so anti gun her entire adult life.

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean it kind of miss nowhere even

84
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 5: use the term buyback because it's not like the government

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: owned those guns to begin with. She just wants to

86
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 5: be able to confiscate them, as you said. But look,

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: the bottom line is that for decades she has enthusiastically

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: supported the strictest gun dance. You go back to two

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: thousand and eight, for example, she put it in a

90
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: Meekus brief before the Supreme Court when they were considering

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: the Heller case, arguing that there was no individual right

92
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 5: to self defense, that the government could completely ban all handguns,

93
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 5: or an entire category of guns, or all guns if

94
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: the government wanted to go and do that. So, I

95
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: mean she's consistently said it, and again you can get

96
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 5: clips from her at that time, enthusiastically saying that the

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: government had the power to go and ban guns. So

98
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: it's not just the statements during the twenty twenty presidential campaign,

99
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 5: but beyond that, she's been the point person for gun

100
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 5: control efforts in the Buying administration. Bien set up something

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: called the Office of Gun Violence Protection, which he put

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: her in charge of, and it's pushed all sorts of

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 5: gun control laws. During the Buying administration, which has been

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: the most anti self defense president that we've ever had.

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: They've done things like shut down literally thousands of gun

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: dealers for minor trivial paperwork mistakes. They'll go back and

107
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 5: look seventeen eighteen years ago to see whether you have

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: one typo by transposing two letters in a word. They've

109
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: renewed Obama's Operation Choke Point, which cuts out financial resources

110
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: for gun makers and a gun dealers, raising costs and

111
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 5: putting others out of business. The buy An administrations also

112
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: established the National Gun Registry. As of a couple of

113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 5: years ago, they had computerized data on almost one billion

114
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: transactions over many decades of people's purchases, legal purchases of guns.

115
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 5: And so now when they talk about things like confiscating guns,

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 5: now that they've put together this national registry, it'll be

117
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: a lot easier for them to go and know whose

118
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 5: guns they want to go and take, who owns the

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 5: guns that they want to take away.

120
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: When you talk about more guns less crime, anytime any

121
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: liberal hears that, their heads explode. But the reality is

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: you base it on statistics and science, and you make

123
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: your case. I know you've gone around the country and

124
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: you've had debate debate after debate after debate with liberal

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: activists that are antisecond Amendment, and then you give them

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: these facts, and then they tend to react emotionally to them.

127
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: What are the facts when you say more guns result

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: in less crime?

129
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: Explain that, Well, there are lots of different types of information.

130
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: I'll just give you one very simple fact, and that

131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 5: is around the world, not just in the United States

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 5: and places like Chicago and Washington, DC, we've seen bams

133
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 5: on guns. If the claim on the other side is correct,

134
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: you should see drops and murder rates and drops and

135
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: violent crimes. When you have, let's say, a complete ban

136
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: on handguns. And yet every single time there's been either

137
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: a ban on all guns or all handguns any place

138
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: in the world, murder rates have gone up, often by

139
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 5: very large amounts. And you know, you think got randomness,

140
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: at least once or twice it would go down, and

141
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: yet every time it's gone up. And there's a simple

142
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 5: reason for them. That is, when you go in to

143
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: ban guns, it's the most law abiding good citizens who

144
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 5: obey the ban, not the criminals. And even if you

145
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: take a few guns away from the criminals, if you're

146
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 5: primarily disarming law abiding good citizens, you make it easier

147
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 5: for criminals to go and commit crimes. But we've seen

148
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 5: this in many cases. You know, we have all the

149
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: states now that are supposed to be issuing concealed carry permits.

150
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: When those laws got passed time after time, gun control

151
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: advocates were claiming that crime would increase, that the permit

152
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: holders would be going in committing crimes. And yet six

153
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: months or a year after these laws get into effect

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 5: in a state, there's no discussion about it anymore. And

155
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: the reason is simple is because they know that the

156
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: predictions that they were making didn't come true. No state

157
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 5: that's adopted a right to carry law or constitutional carry law,

158
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 5: had even had a vote on rescinding those laws. Even

159
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: when you have Democrats take over the state legislatures after

160
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: those laws have gotten passed, you would think if there

161
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 5: was actual evidence in those states that it had accomplished

162
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: the opposite of what the proponents were claiming, you would

163
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 5: have seen at least votes on it, even if they

164
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: couldn't muster enough support to get it passed. But they

165
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 5: knew that there was no support because the claims that

166
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: they were making just didn't happen.

167
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: Right.

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: We continue now with doctor President John Lott of the

169
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: Crime Prevention Center. Kamala Harris, now all of a sudden

170
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: has found a love for the Second Amendment, which he

171
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: has never showed throughout a career. Is it real? I

172
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: have more than my doubts. Let's talk about you know,

173
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: what are the options of people if they don't have that? Now,

174
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: there is new technology that I have to be very

175
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: fond of, but it is it's a non lethal option

176
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: called burner. I'm I don't know if you're familiar with

177
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: the technology, but I happen to be very fond of

178
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: it and it's part of my overall personal safety and

179
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: security plan that I have. But I've had a license

180
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: to carry in New York, Rhode Island, California, Alabama, Georgia,

181
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: and I have a license to carry in Florida. I've

182
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: carried a weapon my entire adult life. And I got

183
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: trained in this safe use of a firearm when I

184
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: was young. My mom was a prison guard and she

185
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: had a revolver in the house. They didn't have lock

186
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: boxes like they do today and fingerprints safes like they

187
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: do today, and they wanted to make sure that I

188
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: was familiar with it and familiar with the safety procedures.

189
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: And it also created a passion at a very young

190
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: age for me. And I tell anybody that calls me,

191
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: you know, they'll say, hen, any, what kind of weapon

192
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: do you recommend for self defense? I said, well, I said,

193
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: probably a shotgun is going to be the most effective

194
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: if God forbid, somebody breaks into your home or business.

195
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: I said, but whatever weapon you are considering, get trained

196
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: in the proper use, safe and safety of it before

197
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: you ever go near it. And I take safety. It

198
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: was a top priority of my life from day one,

199
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: and it should be for everybody else. And you know,

200
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: one of the things I know about gun owners is

201
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: they're willing to help people learn gun safety. And a

202
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: lot of these groups out there, like the usccaight, they

203
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: teach gun safety and situational self defense, and one of

204
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: the most important things that teach people is how to

205
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: talk your way out of it and get out of

206
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: the situation without an incident.

207
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: Right.

208
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 5: Look, I mean, we've had this huge increase in violent

209
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 5: crime during the Biden administration. The Bureau of Justice Statistics

210
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: shows that with total violent crime has increased fifty five

211
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: percent during the buy An administration. We've had a forty

212
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 5: two percent increase in rapes, a sixty three percent increase

213
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 5: in armed robbery, We've had a fifty five percent increase

214
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 5: in aggravated assaults. There's never been in the fifty years

215
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 5: that the Bureau of Justice Statistics has been putting the

216
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 5: data together on total violent crimes, there's never been such

217
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: a large percentage increase over three years. The largest previous

218
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 5: increase was in two thousand and six, where it was

219
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 5: twenty seven percent. So this is this increase under Biding

220
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 5: is more than twice as large as the largest previous

221
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: percentage increase that we've ever had. And even the FBI

222
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: people going point to the FBI data on reported violent crime.

223
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 5: Even the FBI has gone back and revised its earlier data,

224
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: so rather than a drop in violent crime that they

225
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 5: initially claimed for twenty twenty two, actually shows an increase

226
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: in reported violent crime now saying that they missed about

227
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: eighty thousand violent crimes that they had and included in

228
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 5: their initial calculations that were But look, if my research

229
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: convinces me of anything, there's basically two groups of people

230
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 5: who benefit the most from being able to go and

231
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: own guns. The people are the most likely victims of

232
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: violent crime, and that overwhelming tends to be poor blacks

233
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: who live in high crime urban areas. Democrats claim that

234
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 5: they care about minorities, that they care about the poor,

235
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 5: and yet who do they think get hurt by cutting

236
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 5: police budgets and by having prosecutors who don't prosecute violent criminals.

237
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 5: The other group of people who benefit the most are

238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: people who are relatively weaker physically, women and the elderly.

239
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 5: They are almost always talking about a young male criminal

240
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: doing the attack, and when a man is attacking a

241
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: woman or an elderly person, there's a lot larger strength

242
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 5: difference that exists. There than when a man is attacking

243
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: another man, and the presence of a gun represents by

244
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 5: far the biggest change in those people's ability to go

245
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 5: and protect themselves. The thing is the vast majority of

246
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 5: time that people use guns defensively, but ninety five percent

247
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 5: of the time, simply brandishing a gun it's sufficient to

248
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 5: cause a criminal to go and break off of it's tack.

249
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: And it's one reason why the media often doesn't cover this.

250
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: It's not newsworthy to go and say, well, woman's brandished

251
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: a gun. Would be criminals run away, no shots are fired,

252
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: You're not even sure what crime would have been committed.

253
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: You know, they're much more likely to cover a dead

254
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: body on the ground than somebody who's simply brandished a gun.

255
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: I've got a run, but I've urged people if you

256
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: haven't read More Guns Less Crime, which was the original

257
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: book of John Lott, it is well worth reading. You're

258
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: going to learn a lot and actually statistics and science matter.

259
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh follow the science. Didn't we hear that over and

260
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: over again at one point John Lott, thank you appreciate

261
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: you being with us. I believe the old Kamala, not

262
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: the oh I have a block and I'll shoot you

263
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: if you're breaking of my house. Barking every day to

264
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: remember the forgotten man.

265
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: This is the Seananity Show.

266
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: HI twenty five. Now to the top of the hour.

267
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic, shocking story did make national headlines.

268
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: It was during a traffic stop Jonathan was shot. He

269
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: was killed by a career criminal. Now, throughout his three

270
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: years of service, Jonathan made more than seventy rests. He

271
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: was awarded for his excellent police duty on several occasions.

272
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: He was only thirty one years old. He left behind

273
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: his wife, Stephanie, his one year old son Ryan, and

274
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: of course his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family.

275
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: At his funeral, his wife Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating senseless.

276
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: He said, my husband died a hero, but he also

277
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: lived as one. Now for this family, nothing will ever

278
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: ever replace the loss of a husband and a father.

279
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: And thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like

280
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: you in this audience, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was

281
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: able to pay off the mortgage of the Dialer family home.

282
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: Now we can help heroes like Jonathan and their families,

283
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: and if you can join us, here at Team Hannity.

Speaker 2: letter T dot org. The letter T the number two

287
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

288
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw Alejandro Majorcis, the Department

289
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security secretary, he wouldn't even answer Jackie Heinrich's

290
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: question on a possible terrorist plot. Now we do know

291
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: this among the twelve and a half million whatever the

292
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: number is now unvetted Harris Biden illegals. Well, we know

293
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: that there are people that have murdered dozens of Americans.

294
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: We know that there have been people used of raping

295
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: dozens of Americans, including children. We know that other Americans

296
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: have been victims of very violent crime, including police officers

297
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: in Times Square, New York. And we know that there

298
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: are gang members that have gotten into this country, Bartel

299
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: members in this country. You know, see what's happening in Chicago,

300
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: New York, but also small towns. It's all it's spread

301
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: out around the country. We see you know what has

302
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: happened as a result of these open border policies. You

303
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: have people from over one hundred and eighty countries. They

304
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: have allowed in unvetted and from countries like Iran and

305
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan and Venezuela, and tens and

306
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: tens of thousands from China and Russia. And you have

307
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: to ask yourself, well, are all these people coming here

308
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: because they want a better life? I tend to think not.

309
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: And we have created a national security disaster. And to

310
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: quote Reverend Wright, America's chickens, we'll come home to roost sadly,

311
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: probably sooner rather than later. I pray to God I'm wrong,

312
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: but I know I'm not wrong. It is inevitable. We

313
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: now know that there are Iranian assassination squads in this

314
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 2: country as we speak, and their goal is to assassinate

315
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Alejandro may Orcus who went out there and

316
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: repeatedly lied and said the border was closed and the

317
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: border secure, just like Kamala lied, just like Joe lied.

318
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: Was like all the administration lied, you know, And now

319
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: we won't even answer a question about a possible terrorist

320
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: plot that was discovered this week. Listen to this exchange.

321
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was your secretary, But we're getting conflicting answers

322
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 8: from your agency. And from the State Department about a

323
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 8: man who was arrested for an.

324
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: Elation and day terror plot. How do you not have

325
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: those answers prepared?

326
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 6: Oh, Jackie, that's not what I said. What I said

327
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 6: is I'd be pleased to discuss this issue at a

328
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 6: different time, but I am here to speak about disasters

329
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 6: that have impacted people's lives in real time, and that

330
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 6: is a subject that I'm addressing.

331
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 8: Mister secretary, Can you assure people that appropriate steps have

332
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 8: been taken to secure the country against these kinds of threats,

333
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 8: because the outstanding question is whether this man was radicalized

334
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 8: before the US government brought here, come here, or afterward,

335
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 8: and people.

336
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 6: Should be concerned walking at Jackie, Jackie, your persistence in

337
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: questioning can be matched by my persistence and answers.

338
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: You know, it's really unbelievable to me. We're dealing with

339
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: disasters in real time. Let's deal with that part of

340
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: that answer. In real time. You got to be kidding me,

341
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: because in real time, that would have been two weeks

342
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: ago on Friday, and that would have been in North Carolina,

343
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: and that would have been in South Carolina and Tennessee

344
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: and Georgia and Florida, and that didn't happen. And then

345
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: he was the guy six days later saying, oh, yeah,

346
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: we're running out of hurricane relief money at FEMA. And

347
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: then if you dared to report that you're lying about

348
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: relief funds, well it's your Secretary of Homeland Security that

349
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: said it. And then we discovered on FEMA's own website,

350
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: not only their top goals. Top goal number one is

351
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: diversity equity inclusion. Goal number two deals with climate alarmism.

352
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: And then a billion dollars that were depleted from FEMA

353
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: funds emergency funds that are put aside for Americans that

354
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: are victims of hurricanes like Helleen. And now we have

355
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: Milton down in Florida, and that they gave that money

356
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: to Harris Biden on vetted I legal immigrants. You can't

357
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: even make this up. Robin is in South Carolina. Hey, Robin,

358
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: how are you glad you called?

359
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 4: Thank you, Sean. My question is it's getting really cold

360
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: in the mountains right. Everybody's asked for heaters and warm

361
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: clothes for people. FEMA most of the time will bring

362
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 4: in trailers. They used to bring in mobile homes, now

363
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 4: they bring in little RVs. These things, and I know

364
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: this for a fact, can be rigged up under a

365
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: helicopter with spreader bars and dropped anywhere up there. They

366
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 4: have propane stoves, propane heat. These people would have proper housing.

367
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: Well.

368
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, I don't know if you heard the

369
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: interview we had with Operationhelo dot Org for the government

370
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 2: didn't send in the helicopters. The helicopters that were reaching

371
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: people in the remote areas of North Carolina. They were

372
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: donated by helicopter owners, they were flown by volunteers. Operationhelo

373
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: dot Org ended up paying for their own gas to

374
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: run the helicopters, and they were providing necessary you know, food,

375
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: water supplies, and also bringing people the safety because the

376
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: government was nowhere to be found. Now, up till the

377
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: end of last week, I haven't got an update on it.

378
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: They'd only spend four million dollars in relief and they

379
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: were missing in action and remained frankly missing in action

380
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: helping the people in North Carolina and Georgia and South

381
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: Carolina where you are in Tennessee and Florida, and it's

382
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: it's beyond pathetic. And now they're saying that if you

383
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: dare criticize them, that you're being mean and dangerous. I'm like, no,

384
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: we're just telling the truth about the fact that you

385
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: this is the worst hurricane response in the history of

386
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: the country.

387
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm wondering why in the world they're

388
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 4: not getting housing to the I mean, people have lost

389
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 4: their entire homes, so they're what in a tent, maybe

390
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 4: in a shelter, you know, drop some of the little

391
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: RVs in there for current out loud. Have sympathy to

392
00:22:59,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 4: these people.

393
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: I do understand that there are people in shelters. I

394
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: do understand that, you know, groups like samaritanspers dot org

395
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: have done a great job making sure that people have

396
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: the clothes that you're talking about, the food, the water

397
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: that is needed and necessary. But this is a massive undertaking,

398
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: you know, every government resource. And I've gone through all

399
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: the money we spend on all these foreign countries and

400
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: all these globalist organizations, and I'm just telling you, you know,

401
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: it's like we put Americans last and Americans should be first. Yep,

402
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: that's what's at stake in twenty five days. Appreciate the call.

403
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Robin. You have a great weekend. Let's go

404
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: to David in Pennsylvania. What's up, David.

405
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: How are you? Hey, mister Andy.

406
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: I know your time's valuable, so keep this concise. Really

407
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking my call. I'm actually not sure how

408
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: you or your audience will react to this, but I

409
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to phone in and let you know

410
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of folks just like me that

411
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: aren't typically represented in traditional right wing demographics. I'm not

412
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: only a registered independent who's voted for left wing folks

413
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm an atheist, and there's a growing

414
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: number of us that have just are no longer voting Democrat.

415
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: We're not only voting Republican, but we're pretty enthusiastic about it.

416
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: And now we're listening to your show. I bring this

417
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: to you simply because we've all seen this really radical

418
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: departure from maybe a difference in depinion on funding of

419
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: education from Democrats to these really radical positions. I mean,

420
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: I could expatiate on them. I know that you don't

421
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: need me to, but if you think about these absent

422
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: on economic policies that anybody with maybe a middle school

423
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: exposure to history or basic mathematics but understand just can't work.

424
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Soviet era price controls that even major groups like the

425
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: World Bank have indicated are obviously going to be a disaster,

426
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: releasing violent criminals and actively encouraging social disorder. You don't

427
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: need me to expatiate on them. In fact, you pontificate

428
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: on them very very very well. What I wanted to

429
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: say is that me and my friends again wouldn't traditionally

430
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: be understood to be republican quote unquote. Again, I am

431
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: an atheist, but we all are identifying that there's a

432
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: common thread in these belief systems, or a common thread

433
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: that exists in these policies, and they just stem from

434
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: a hatred of the American way of life. They're rooting

435
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: for the terrorists, they hate our meritocracies. These are beliefs

436
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: that are these wolk ideologies that believe that people should

437
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: not be judged by the content of their character, but

438
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: instead by this hierarchy of privilege that dictated by immutable

439
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: properties like your race or your gender. It's insane. Again,

440
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm not traditionally represented in somebody that you would think

441
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: might call the show or listen to this show, but

442
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of us now. I think the left

443
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: wing has tried to claim it this for a long time,

444
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: and I don't really think that that's true, especially now

445
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: we're voting Republican and like I said, we're pretty enthusiastic

446
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: about it.

447
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that. I mean, obviously I

448
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: don't agree with everything that you're saying. You obviously are

449
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: very You've done a lot of homework, a lot of research.

450
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: You're very articulate, you have a lot to say. You're

451
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: very passionate, and that comes through. I would love to

452
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: have the conversation with you about being an atheist one

453
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: day after the election, because it would be I think,

454
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: I think, intellectually stimulating for our audience to hear it,

455
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: because I would argue that if you're an atheist, that

456
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: you have to believe that something can come from nothing.

457
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: And as a person of faith, I just have different

458
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: views than you. But I respect the fact that you

459
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: live in a country where you know, we can have

460
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: these different views and different beliefs. And you know what,

461
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: I respect your choice. You have the ability to choose,

462
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: you know, whether you want to be a person of

463
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: faith or not. You obviously have thought through it in

464
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: a big way. I'm not surprised at all because what

465
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 2: you're telling me without saying it this way, is that

466
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: you're voting for your own best interests. What you're saying

467
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 2: is you are voting for policies that you know are

468
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: better than what else is being offered. That's what you're

469
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: really telling me. And I think you're also telling me

470
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: that things were a lot better off four years ago

471
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: than they are today. That's what I'm hearing from you.

472
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct, mister Handy. You know, I would go

473
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: so far as to say I would ask this question,

474
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: what is the purpose of the Democratic Party. Is the

475
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: purpose of the party to reflect views that maybe capture

476
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: those that exist outside of their opposition so that we

477
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: could have a greater political discourse, or do they exist

478
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: to simply expand the power of the Democratic Party at

479
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: the cost of undermining American democracy. Because there's one side

480
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: that's engaging in lawfare. There's one side that is talking

481
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: about removing secret Service protections from presidential candidates up until

482
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: the point until they get shot, and then are coming

483
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: on social media and indicating now, I wish that he

484
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: had better aim, I wish somebody shot to the president.

485
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's one side that's consistently doing things like this,

486
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: and it's not you, Sean, it's not Republicans. And I again,

487
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: I remember part of the reason I called you is

488
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: because I remember about eleven years ago you had David

489
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: Silverman on your show, who was the president of American Atheist.

490
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: I agree more with you than I did with him.

491
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: I also remember that you used to do a show

492
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: with Alan Combs. And I consistently see, even amongst somebody

493
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: like Sean Hannity, who is renowned for being a right

494
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: wing person, this is an individual who's not only willing

495
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: to discuss differences of opinion, but was willing to do

496
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: so respectfully with somebody like Alan Combs's appointment even hosts

497
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: a show with him. I don't see that from left

498
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: wing folks. I don't see that. Again. I see this

499
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: pretty much radical departure from people who just they simply

500
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: don't want the foundational principles that make America a great

501
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: country to live in.

502
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: And again, what I listen. I love robust debate. I

503
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: love debating smart people, and if you make a good point,

504
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: I'll acknowledge that you make a good point. I have

505
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: no problem. I don't have the answers to everything, and

506
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: I try to stay humble in my life and believe,

507
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: you know, and not force my beliefs on other peoples

508
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: as strongly as I know that in my heart that

509
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: these policies, that if they were ever implemented, would hurt

510
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: our country. I really believe that with all my heart, mind,

511
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: body and soul. Now, with that said, my invitation for

512
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: you and if you want, we'll hang on to your number,

513
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: we'll call you back, is if you want after the election,

514
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: because I just I have to be laser focused for

515
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: the next twenty five days. But if you'd like, I'd

516
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: love to have you on after the election and we

517
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: can discuss your atheism and why I believe in what

518
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: I believe. I've had debates with agnostics, with atheists like yourself,

519
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: and you know, I find them fascinating because my belief

520
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: in something, you know, a god that created the universe,

521
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: is so I'm so passionate it. I would you would

522
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: give me your passion of you, I'll give mine and

523
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: then I don't think i'll convince you, but I think

524
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: I'll give you something to think about. But I do

525
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: have to run. I'm glad you're out there. I'm glad

526
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: you're listening. My friend, God bless you have a great

527
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: weekend and we appreciate you being with us. Sean, It's

528
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: got more behind the scenes information, more contacts than anybody,

529
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: more friends behind the curtains. Sean Hannity is aw

530
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 6: On
