WEBVTT - John Lott - October 11th, Hour 

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I News round Up, Information Overload Hour toll free this Friday,

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you'd say eight hundred and nine point one, Sean, if

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 2>you want to be a part of the program. Twenty

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.800

<v Speaker 2>learn a lot. Also have the Kamala files as a

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>public service, the Walls files as a public service at

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 2>is Kamala and Tim Walls in their own words, their

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 2>own radicalism, so you can be as informed a voter

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>as possible. Now, Kamala has talked an awful lot recently

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 2>about being a gun owner, and you know she's been

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>brought What kind of gun do you have? I have

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a glock. Have you fired it? Of course I fired it. Listen,

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>you recently surprised people when you said that you are

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a gun owner, and then if someone.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Came into your house, not the first time I shot it.

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 3>That's not the first time I've talked about it.

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>So what kind of gun do you own?

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 4>And when? And why did you get it?

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 3>I have a clock and I've had it for quite

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 3>some time, and I mean, look belt, my background is

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>in law enforcement, and so there you go.

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Have you ever fired it?

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, of course I have at a shooting range. Yes

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 3>of course I have.

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 2>And then she warns intruders. If somebody breaks into her house,

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>they're getting shot. I thought liberals are against stand your

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>ground rules and laws.

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Does God know that.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 3>House a getting shot?

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I hear that.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I hear that.

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Probably should not have said that, but my will deal

0:01:58.520 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>with that later.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh okay, if you want to believe that this is

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>the person that also and I have a cut of this.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, she in her own words, it's part of

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>our Kamala Files series, if you will, had talked about

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a mandatory gun buyback program. Now I'm not making it

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 2>up because she said it, and she said it in

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>her own words. Listen, what would you do about the

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 5>What do you do about those?

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Well, there are approximately five million.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 3>To your point, Craig, we have to have a buyback program.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>And I support a mandatory buyback program. That's got to

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>be smart. We got to do it the right way.

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 2>And she has vigorously championed gun control for years as

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 2>the San Francisco DA. She stated, quote, just because you

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>legally possess a gun, and we have this tape, I'll

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 2>play it. Just because you legally possess a gun in

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the sanctity of your life locked home, does it mean

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>that we're not going to walk into that home and

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>check and see if you are being responsible. I thought

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>we had something called the Constitution. I thought that constitution

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 2>talked at length about unreasonable search and seizure that would

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>seem unconstitutional to me. Here's what she said.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 7>So this is about just basically saying that we're going

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 7>to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 7>just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 7>of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 7>to walk into that home and check to see if

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 7>you're being responsible and safe and the way you conduct

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 7>your affair.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Joining us now, John Lote, president of the Crime Prevention

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Research Center, who wrote this article, mister Lot, doctor Lott,

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the program, sir.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 5>How are you doing great? Thanks for having me on Sean,

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 5>Like all of.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Her radical positions. I don't believe in this this conversion

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>that she's trying to portray, you know, this election year

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>conversion as we call it. I think the real Kamala

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Harris has been the one that supports the mandatory gun

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>buyback program, the one that doesn't believe that you need

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 2>a search warrant and feels she has the right to

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>go in and check on your guns, which would also

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>imply some type of registry of guns. And the Kamala

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Harris has been so anti gun her entire adult life.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 5>Right, Yeah, I mean it kind of miss nowhere even

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 5>use the term buyback because it's not like the government

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 5>owned those guns to begin with. She just wants to

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 5>be able to confiscate them, as you said. But look,

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 5>the bottom line is that for decades she has enthusiastically

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 5>supported the strictest gun dance. You go back to two

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 5>thousand and eight, for example, she put it in a

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Meekus brief before the Supreme Court when they were considering

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 5>the Heller case, arguing that there was no individual right

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 5>to self defense, that the government could completely ban all handguns,

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 5>or an entire category of guns, or all guns if

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 5>the government wanted to go and do that. So, I

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 5>mean she's consistently said it, and again you can get

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 5>clips from her at that time, enthusiastically saying that the

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 5>government had the power to go and ban guns. So

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 5>it's not just the statements during the twenty twenty presidential campaign,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 5>but beyond that, she's been the point person for gun

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.799
<v Speaker 5>control efforts in the Buying administration. Bien set up something

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 5>called the Office of Gun Violence Protection, which he put

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 5>her in charge of, and it's pushed all sorts of

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 5>gun control laws. During the Buying administration, which has been

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 5>the most anti self defense president that we've ever had.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 5>They've done things like shut down literally thousands of gun

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 5>dealers for minor trivial paperwork mistakes. They'll go back and

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 5>look seventeen eighteen years ago to see whether you have

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 5>one typo by transposing two letters in a word. They've

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 5>renewed Obama's Operation Choke Point, which cuts out financial resources

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 5>for gun makers and a gun dealers, raising costs and

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 5>putting others out of business. The buy An administrations also

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 5>established the National Gun Registry. As of a couple of

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 5>years ago, they had computerized data on almost one billion

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 5>transactions over many decades of people's purchases, legal purchases of guns.

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 5>And so now when they talk about things like confiscating guns,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 5>now that they've put together this national registry, it'll be

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot easier for them to go and know whose

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 5>guns they want to go and take, who owns the

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 5>guns that they want to take away.

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>When you talk about more guns less crime, anytime any

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>liberal hears that, their heads explode. But the reality is

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you base it on statistics and science, and you make

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>your case. I know you've gone around the country and

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you've had debate debate after debate after debate with liberal

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>activists that are antisecond Amendment, and then you give them

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>these facts, and then they tend to react emotionally to them.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>What are the facts when you say more guns result

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 2>in less crime?

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Explain that, Well, there are lots of different types of information.

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 5>I'll just give you one very simple fact, and that

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 5>is around the world, not just in the United States

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 5>and places like Chicago and Washington, DC, we've seen bams

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 5>on guns. If the claim on the other side is correct,

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 5>you should see drops and murder rates and drops and

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 5>violent crimes. When you have, let's say, a complete ban

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 5>on handguns. And yet every single time there's been either

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 5>a ban on all guns or all handguns any place

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 5>in the world, murder rates have gone up, often by

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 5>very large amounts. And you know, you think got randomness,

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 5>at least once or twice it would go down, and

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 5>yet every time it's gone up. And there's a simple

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 5>reason for them. That is, when you go in to

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 5>ban guns, it's the most law abiding good citizens who

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 5>obey the ban, not the criminals. And even if you

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 5>take a few guns away from the criminals, if you're

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 5>primarily disarming law abiding good citizens, you make it easier

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 5>for criminals to go and commit crimes. But we've seen

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 5>this in many cases. You know, we have all the

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 5>states now that are supposed to be issuing concealed carry permits.

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 5>When those laws got passed time after time, gun control

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 5>advocates were claiming that crime would increase, that the permit

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 5>holders would be going in committing crimes. And yet six

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 5>months or a year after these laws get into effect

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.719
<v Speaker 5>in a state, there's no discussion about it anymore. And

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 5>the reason is simple is because they know that the

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 5>predictions that they were making didn't come true. No state

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 5>that's adopted a right to carry law or constitutional carry law,

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 5>had even had a vote on rescinding those laws. Even

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 5>when you have Democrats take over the state legislatures after

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 5>those laws have gotten passed, you would think if there

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 5>was actual evidence in those states that it had accomplished

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 5>the opposite of what the proponents were claiming, you would

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 5>have seen at least votes on it, even if they

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 5>couldn't muster enough support to get it passed. But they

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 5>knew that there was no support because the claims that

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 5>they were making just didn't happen.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 2>We continue now with doctor President John Lott of the

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Crime Prevention Center. Kamala Harris, now all of a sudden

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>has found a love for the Second Amendment, which he

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>has never showed throughout a career. Is it real? I

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>have more than my doubts. Let's talk about you know,

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>what are the options of people if they don't have that? Now,

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 2>there is new technology that I have to be very

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 2>fond of, but it is it's a non lethal option

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>called burner. I'm I don't know if you're familiar with

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the technology, but I happen to be very fond of

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 2>it and it's part of my overall personal safety and

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>security plan that I have. But I've had a license

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to carry in New York, Rhode Island, California, Alabama, Georgia,

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and I have a license to carry in Florida. I've

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 2>carried a weapon my entire adult life. And I got

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 2>trained in this safe use of a firearm when I

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 2>was young. My mom was a prison guard and she

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 2>had a revolver in the house. They didn't have lock

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 2>boxes like they do today and fingerprints safes like they

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>do today, and they wanted to make sure that I

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 2>was familiar with it and familiar with the safety procedures.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>And it also created a passion at a very young

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>age for me. And I tell anybody that calls me,

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, they'll say, hen, any, what kind of weapon

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>do you recommend for self defense? I said, well, I said,

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>probably a shotgun is going to be the most effective

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>if God forbid, somebody breaks into your home or business.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I said, but whatever weapon you are considering, get trained

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>in the proper use, safe and safety of it before

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>you ever go near it. And I take safety. It

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>was a top priority of my life from day one,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 2>and it should be for everybody else. And you know,

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the things I know about gun owners is

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 2>they're willing to help people learn gun safety. And a

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of these groups out there, like the usccaight, they

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>teach gun safety and situational self defense, and one of

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 2>the most important things that teach people is how to

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>talk your way out of it and get out of

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the situation without an incident.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Look, I mean, we've had this huge increase in violent

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 5>crime during the Biden administration. The Bureau of Justice Statistics

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 5>shows that with total violent crime has increased fifty five

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 5>percent during the buy An administration. We've had a forty

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 5>two percent increase in rapes, a sixty three percent increase

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 5>in armed robbery, We've had a fifty five percent increase

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 5>in aggravated assaults. There's never been in the fifty years

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.599
<v Speaker 5>that the Bureau of Justice Statistics has been putting the

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 5>data together on total violent crimes, there's never been such

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.199
<v Speaker 5>a large percentage increase over three years. The largest previous

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 5>increase was in two thousand and six, where it was

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 5>twenty seven percent. So this is this increase under Biding

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 5>is more than twice as large as the largest previous

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 5>percentage increase that we've ever had. And even the FBI

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 5>people going point to the FBI data on reported violent crime.

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 5>Even the FBI has gone back and revised its earlier data,

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 5>so rather than a drop in violent crime that they

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 5>initially claimed for twenty twenty two, actually shows an increase

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 5>in reported violent crime now saying that they missed about

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 5>eighty thousand violent crimes that they had and included in

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 5>their initial calculations that were But look, if my research

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 5>convinces me of anything, there's basically two groups of people

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 5>who benefit the most from being able to go and

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 5>own guns. The people are the most likely victims of

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 5>violent crime, and that overwhelming tends to be poor blacks

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 5>who live in high crime urban areas. Democrats claim that

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 5>they care about minorities, that they care about the poor,

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 5>and yet who do they think get hurt by cutting

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 5>police budgets and by having prosecutors who don't prosecute violent criminals.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 5>The other group of people who benefit the most are

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 5>people who are relatively weaker physically, women and the elderly.

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 5>They are almost always talking about a young male criminal

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 5>doing the attack, and when a man is attacking a

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 5>woman or an elderly person, there's a lot larger strength

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 5>difference that exists. There than when a man is attacking

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 5>another man, and the presence of a gun represents by

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 5>far the biggest change in those people's ability to go

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 5>and protect themselves. The thing is the vast majority of

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 5>time that people use guns defensively, but ninety five percent

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 5>of the time, simply brandishing a gun it's sufficient to

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 5>cause a criminal to go and break off of it's tack.

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 5>And it's one reason why the media often doesn't cover this.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 5>It's not newsworthy to go and say, well, woman's brandished

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 5>a gun. Would be criminals run away, no shots are fired,

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 5>You're not even sure what crime would have been committed.

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, they're much more likely to cover a dead

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 5>body on the ground than somebody who's simply brandished a gun.

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I've got a run, but I've urged people if you

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>haven't read More Guns Less Crime, which was the original

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>book of John Lott, it is well worth reading. You're

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 2>going to learn a lot and actually statistics and science matter.

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh follow the science. Didn't we hear that over and

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>over again at one point John Lott, thank you appreciate

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>you being with us. I believe the old Kamala, not

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the oh I have a block and I'll shoot you

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're breaking of my house. Barking every day to

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 2>remember the forgotten man.

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 5>This is the Seananity Show.

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>HI twenty five. Now to the top of the hour.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 2>NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic, shocking story did make national headlines.

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It was during a traffic stop Jonathan was shot. He

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 2>was killed by a career criminal. Now, throughout his three

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 2>years of service, Jonathan made more than seventy rests. He

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>was awarded for his excellent police duty on several occasions.

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>He was only thirty one years old. He left behind

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 2>his wife, Stephanie, his one year old son Ryan, and

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>of course his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family.

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>At his funeral, his wife Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating senseless.

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 2>He said, my husband died a hero, but he also

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>lived as one. Now for this family, nothing will ever

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>ever replace the loss of a husband and a father.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 2>And thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>you in this audience, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>able to pay off the mortgage of the Dialer family home.

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Now we can help heroes like Jonathan and their families,

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>and if you can join us, here at Team Hannity.

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.560

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you saw Alejandro Majorcis, the Department

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>of Homeland Security secretary, he wouldn't even answer Jackie Heinrich's

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 2>question on a possible terrorist plot. Now we do know

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 2>this among the twelve and a half million whatever the

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>number is now unvetted Harris Biden illegals. Well, we know

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 2>that there are people that have murdered dozens of Americans.

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>We know that there have been people used of raping

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 2>dozens of Americans, including children. We know that other Americans

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>have been victims of very violent crime, including police officers

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 2>in Times Square, New York. And we know that there

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 2>are gang members that have gotten into this country, Bartel

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>members in this country. You know, see what's happening in Chicago,

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>New York, but also small towns. It's all it's spread

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.719
<v Speaker 2>out around the country. We see you know what has

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>happened as a result of these open border policies. You

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 2>have people from over one hundred and eighty countries. They

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 2>have allowed in unvetted and from countries like Iran and

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan and Venezuela, and tens and

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 2>tens of thousands from China and Russia. And you have

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to ask yourself, well, are all these people coming here

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>because they want a better life? I tend to think not.

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And we have created a national security disaster. And to

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 2>quote Reverend Wright, America's chickens, we'll come home to roost sadly,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 2>probably sooner rather than later. I pray to God I'm wrong,

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>but I know I'm not wrong. It is inevitable. We

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>now know that there are Iranian assassination squads in this

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 2>country as we speak, and their goal is to assassinate

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. Alejandro may Orcus who went out there and

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 2>repeatedly lied and said the border was closed and the

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 2>border secure, just like Kamala lied, just like Joe lied.

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Was like all the administration lied, you know, And now

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 2>we won't even answer a question about a possible terrorist

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 2>plot that was discovered this week. Listen to this exchange.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that was your secretary, But we're getting conflicting answers

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.920
<v Speaker 8>from your agency. And from the State Department about a

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 8>man who was arrested for an.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Elation and day terror plot. How do you not have

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 4>those answers prepared?

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh, Jackie, that's not what I said. What I said

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 6>is I'd be pleased to discuss this issue at a

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 6>different time, but I am here to speak about disasters

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 6>that have impacted people's lives in real time, and that

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:09.360
<v Speaker 6>is a subject that I'm addressing.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 8>Mister secretary, Can you assure people that appropriate steps have

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 8>been taken to secure the country against these kinds of threats,

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 8>because the outstanding question is whether this man was radicalized

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 8>before the US government brought here, come here, or afterward,

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 8>and people.

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 6>Should be concerned walking at Jackie, Jackie, your persistence in

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 6>questioning can be matched by my persistence and answers.

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's really unbelievable to me. We're dealing with

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 2>disasters in real time. Let's deal with that part of

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 2>that answer. In real time. You got to be kidding me,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 2>because in real time, that would have been two weeks

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 2>ago on Friday, and that would have been in North Carolina,

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and that would have been in South Carolina and Tennessee

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.719
<v Speaker 2>and Georgia and Florida, and that didn't happen. And then

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>he was the guy six days later saying, oh, yeah,

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 2>we're running out of hurricane relief money at FEMA. And

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 2>then if you dared to report that you're lying about

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>relief funds, well it's your Secretary of Homeland Security that

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 2>said it. And then we discovered on FEMA's own website,

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 2>not only their top goals. Top goal number one is

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:24.879
<v Speaker 2>diversity equity inclusion. Goal number two deals with climate alarmism.

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:30.159
<v Speaker 2>And then a billion dollars that were depleted from FEMA

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 2>funds emergency funds that are put aside for Americans that

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>are victims of hurricanes like Helleen. And now we have

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Milton down in Florida, and that they gave that money

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to Harris Biden on vetted I legal immigrants. You can't

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>even make this up. Robin is in South Carolina. Hey, Robin,

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 2>how are you glad you called?

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Sean. My question is it's getting really cold

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 4>in the mountains right. Everybody's asked for heaters and warm

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 4>clothes for people. FEMA most of the time will bring

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.479
<v Speaker 4>in trailers. They used to bring in mobile homes, now

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 4>they bring in little RVs. These things, and I know

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 4>this for a fact, can be rigged up under a

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 4>helicopter with spreader bars and dropped anywhere up there. They

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:29.199
<v Speaker 4>have propane stoves, propane heat. These people would have proper housing.

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Earlier this week, I don't know if you heard the

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>interview we had with Operationhelo dot Org for the government

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.719
<v Speaker 2>didn't send in the helicopters. The helicopters that were reaching

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 2>people in the remote areas of North Carolina. They were

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>donated by helicopter owners, they were flown by volunteers. Operationhelo

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 2>dot Org ended up paying for their own gas to

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 2>run the helicopters, and they were providing necessary you know, food,

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 2>water supplies, and also bringing people the safety because the

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 2>government was nowhere to be found. Now, up till the

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 2>end of last week, I haven't got an update on it.

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>They'd only spend four million dollars in relief and they

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>were missing in action and remained frankly missing in action

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>helping the people in North Carolina and Georgia and South

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Carolina where you are in Tennessee and Florida, and it's

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it's beyond pathetic. And now they're saying that if you

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:35.399
<v Speaker 2>dare criticize them, that you're being mean and dangerous. I'm like, no,

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>we're just telling the truth about the fact that you

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 2>this is the worst hurricane response in the history of

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the country.

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 4>And that's why I'm wondering why in the world they're

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.400
<v Speaker 4>not getting housing to the I mean, people have lost

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 4>their entire homes, so they're what in a tent, maybe

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 4>in a shelter, you know, drop some of the little

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 4>RVs in there for current out loud. Have sympathy to

0:22:59.400 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 4>these people.

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I do understand that there are people in shelters. I

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 2>do understand that, you know, groups like samaritanspers dot org

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>have done a great job making sure that people have

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the clothes that you're talking about, the food, the water

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that is needed and necessary. But this is a massive undertaking,

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, every government resource. And I've gone through all

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the money we spend on all these foreign countries and

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 2>all these globalist organizations, and I'm just telling you, you know,

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like we put Americans last and Americans should be first. Yep,

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 2>that's what's at stake in twenty five days. Appreciate the call.

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Robin. You have a great weekend. Let's go

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to David in Pennsylvania. What's up, David.

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 5>How are you? Hey, mister Andy.

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I know your time's valuable, so keep this concise. Really

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you taking my call. I'm actually not sure how

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you or your audience will react to this, but I

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of wanted to phone in and let you know

0:23:58.200 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 1>that there's a lot of folks just like me that

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>aren't typically represented in traditional right wing demographics. I'm not

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 1>only a registered independent who's voted for left wing folks

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in the past. I'm an atheist, and there's a growing

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 1>number of us that have just are no longer voting Democrat.

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 1>We're not only voting Republican, but we're pretty enthusiastic about it.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And now we're listening to your show. I bring this

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to you simply because we've all seen this really radical

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 1>departure from maybe a difference in depinion on funding of

0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>education from Democrats to these really radical positions. I mean,

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I could expatiate on them. I know that you don't

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>need me to, but if you think about these absent

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>on economic policies that anybody with maybe a middle school

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>exposure to history or basic mathematics but understand just can't work.

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Soviet era price controls that even major groups like the

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.880
<v Speaker 1>World Bank have indicated are obviously going to be a disaster,

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>releasing violent criminals and actively encouraging social disorder. You don't

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>need me to expatiate on them. In fact, you pontificate

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on them very very very well. What I wanted to

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>say is that me and my friends again wouldn't traditionally

0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:06.239
<v Speaker 1>be understood to be republican quote unquote. Again, I am

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>an atheist, but we all are identifying that there's a

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>common thread in these belief systems, or a common thread

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 1>that exists in these policies, and they just stem from

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.639
<v Speaker 1>a hatred of the American way of life. They're rooting

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>for the terrorists, they hate our meritocracies. These are beliefs

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>that are these wolk ideologies that believe that people should

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>not be judged by the content of their character, but

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>instead by this hierarchy of privilege that dictated by immutable

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>properties like your race or your gender. It's insane. Again,

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not traditionally represented in somebody that you would think

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>might call the show or listen to this show, but

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of us now. I think the left

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>wing has tried to claim it this for a long time,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and I don't really think that that's true, especially now

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:51.119
<v Speaker 1>we're voting Republican and like I said, we're pretty enthusiastic

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad to hear that. I mean, obviously I

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 2>don't agree with everything that you're saying. You obviously are

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 2>very You've done a lot of homework, a lot of research.

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You're very articulate, you have a lot to say. You're

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:11.159
<v Speaker 2>very passionate, and that comes through. I would love to

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have the conversation with you about being an atheist one

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 2>day after the election, because it would be I think,

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I think, intellectually stimulating for our audience to hear it,

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 2>because I would argue that if you're an atheist, that

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>you have to believe that something can come from nothing.

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 2>And as a person of faith, I just have different

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:35.159
<v Speaker 2>views than you. But I respect the fact that you

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 2>live in a country where you know, we can have

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>these different views and different beliefs. And you know what,

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I respect your choice. You have the ability to choose,

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether you want to be a person of

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.040
<v Speaker 2>faith or not. You obviously have thought through it in

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 2>a big way. I'm not surprised at all because what

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you're telling me without saying it this way, is that

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you're voting for your own best interests. What you're saying

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:07.239
<v Speaker 2>is you are voting for policies that you know are

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>better than what else is being offered. That's what you're

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 2>really telling me. And I think you're also telling me

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that things were a lot better off four years ago

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 2>than they are today. That's what I'm hearing from you.

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely correct, mister Handy. You know, I would go

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 1>so far as to say I would ask this question,

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>what is the purpose of the Democratic Party. Is the

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 1>purpose of the party to reflect views that maybe capture

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>those that exist outside of their opposition so that we

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 1>could have a greater political discourse, or do they exist

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to simply expand the power of the Democratic Party at

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the cost of undermining American democracy. Because there's one side

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that's engaging in lawfare. There's one side that is talking

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 1>about removing secret Service protections from presidential candidates up until

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the point until they get shot, and then are coming

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.119
<v Speaker 1>on social media and indicating now, I wish that he

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>had better aim, I wish somebody shot to the president.

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's one side that's consistently doing things like this,

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's not you, Sean, it's not Republicans. And I again,

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember part of the reason I called you is

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:13.880
<v Speaker 1>because I remember about eleven years ago you had David

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Silverman on your show, who was the president of American Atheist.

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>I agree more with you than I did with him.

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I also remember that you used to do a show

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 1>with Alan Combs. And I consistently see, even amongst somebody

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 1>like Sean Hannity, who is renowned for being a right

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:30.120
<v Speaker 1>wing person, this is an individual who's not only willing

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to discuss differences of opinion, but was willing to do

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 1>so respectfully with somebody like Alan Combs's appointment even hosts

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:37.919
<v Speaker 1>a show with him. I don't see that from left

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>wing folks. I don't see that. Again. I see this

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty much radical departure from people who just they simply

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want the foundational principles that make America a great

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>country to live in.

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 2>And again, what I listen. I love robust debate. I

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 2>love debating smart people, and if you make a good point,

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll acknowledge that you make a good point. I have

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 2>no problem. I don't have the answers to everything, and

0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I try to stay humble in my life and believe,

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, and not force my beliefs on other peoples

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 2>as strongly as I know that in my heart that

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 2>these policies, that if they were ever implemented, would hurt

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 2>our country. I really believe that with all my heart, mind,

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 2>body and soul. Now, with that said, my invitation for

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you and if you want, we'll hang on to your number,

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll call you back, is if you want after the election,

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>because I just I have to be laser focused for

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the next twenty five days. But if you'd like, I'd

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 2>love to have you on after the election and we

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 2>can discuss your atheism and why I believe in what

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I believe. I've had debates with agnostics, with atheists like yourself,

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I find them fascinating because my belief

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 2>in something, you know, a god that created the universe,

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 2>is so I'm so passionate it. I would you would

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 2>give me your passion of you, I'll give mine and

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 2>then I don't think i'll convince you, but I think

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you something to think about. But I do

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 2>have to run. I'm glad you're out there. I'm glad

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you're listening. My friend, God bless you have a great

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:19.360
<v Speaker 2>weekend and we appreciate you being with us. Sean, It's

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>got more behind the scenes information, more contacts than anybody,

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 2>more friends behind the curtains. Sean Hannity is aw

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:30.480
