Speaker 1: Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Taulfree, It's eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine foot one, Shawn. You want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program. In a moment, we'll talk to Congresswoman
Speaker 1: Mary Miller of Illinois with an update on her legislation
Speaker 1: it passed yesterday. In summary, her legislation cracks down on
Speaker 1: fraud and waste and abuse and frankly outright corruption and
Speaker 1: stealing that's been taking place. You know, we saw Nick
Speaker 1: Shirley's revelations in Minneapolis, we saw his revelations in California,
Speaker 1: but especially when it comes to home health care and
Speaker 1: childcare assistants, et cetera. Remember Nick Shirley went to all
Speaker 1: those childcare places and there are no children, and yet
Speaker 1: we're paying fortunes. Oz on this program last week, said
Speaker 1: he thinks the numbers up to one hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 1: It's insane. Let me play doctor Oz. You know, he
Speaker 1: said the area near Columbus is responsible for one third
Speaker 1: of the one point five billion spent on home health care.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
Speaker 3: I was visiting a facility called the LaBelle. Home health
Speaker 3: is run by women Njumi Tatsing. You may not see
Speaker 3: her here today because she's in jail, and she went
Speaker 3: to jail because she was accused and convicted of taking
Speaker 3: billing practices to a level we had not seen before.
Speaker 3: She was building for people who had deceased. Building for
Speaker 3: dead people is a bad looking court, and it showed
Speaker 3: at her conviction when she was accused and appropriately taken
Speaker 3: out for doing things that we find reprehensible. Now, she
Speaker 3: was the only one. We wouldn't be here in force. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: this area around Columbus is responsible, in Franklin County for
Speaker 3: one third of all of the one and a half
Speaker 3: billion dollars spent on home healthcare in Ohio. Think about that.
Speaker 3: A third of all of the money spent on home
Speaker 3: healthcare in the entire great state of Ohio is generated here.
Speaker 3: That's three times what you would expect. There's a road
Speaker 3: very close to where we are, two hundred and eighty
Speaker 3: eight home health care facilities in that several block area
Speaker 3: on that one road. Again, it defies belief. Some of
Speaker 3: these buildings were vacant. You wouldn't put anybody up in
Speaker 3: those buildings, not certainly the place where that would house
Speaker 3: home healthcare.
Speaker 1: All right, this is nothing but madness. This is your
Speaker 1: hard earned money. And I can tell you that this
Speaker 1: has to stop. And here's the more sinister aspect of this,
Speaker 1: with waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, and outright stealing. It seems
Speaker 1: in many instances that's money that would otherwise go to
Speaker 1: deserving Americans and that money will be unavailable to them
Speaker 1: because of the widespread nature of this activity. Now, the
Speaker 1: legislation yesterday that was put forward by Congresswoman Mary Miller
Speaker 1: in Illinois. Her legislation cracks down on fraud and abuse
Speaker 1: in the federal childcare assistance program, strengthens accountability measures. Remember
Speaker 1: out in California, they wanted, you know, the silenced Nick
Speaker 1: Shirley Act and Governor Newsom, mister do nothing governor, failed governor,
Speaker 1: probably the worst governor in the history of California in
Speaker 1: the country. He's going after Nick Shirley. They want to
Speaker 1: silence the person that is exposing all of this waste,
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. Anyway, Congresswoman Mary Miller is with us
Speaker 1: from Illinois. I saw your ex post that said criminals
Speaker 1: have exploited government assistance programs for years, stealing millions of
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars, diverting resources away from vulnerable children, working families,
Speaker 1: the House. Passage of my Stop Childcare Scams Act ensures
Speaker 1: that the fraud will no longer be met within action.
Speaker 1: I am grateful to the chairman in this case, Representative
Speaker 1: Wahlberg for his leadership and my colleagues for moving this
Speaker 1: bill through the Education Workforce Committee and House Republicans now
Speaker 1: are united and rooting out waste, fraud, corruption abuse throughout
Speaker 1: the federal government. Congresswoman, well, first of all, thank you
Speaker 1: for what you're doing. Number two OZ thinks it's in
Speaker 1: the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: What do you seeing?
Speaker 4: Well, yes, the Government Accountability Office recently estimated that the
Speaker 4: federal government loses up to a half of a trillion
Speaker 4: dollars every year to fraud based on twenty eighteen through
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two data, and this is absolutely unacceptable. I
Speaker 4: can tell you that all of US Republicans are committed
Speaker 4: to aggressively going after and eliminating this fraud and holding
Speaker 4: people accountable for it. This is completely partisan. Not one
Speaker 4: Democrat supports transparency or accountability when it comes to government spending.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean when we talk about like, for example,
Speaker 1: we saw in Minnesota, especially in the Somali community, that
Speaker 1: it was like widespread that an autism rate of nearly
Speaker 1: eighty plus percent. And when I was told me that number,
Speaker 1: you know, I fill off my chair because there's no
Speaker 1: way humanly possible, scientifically possible, that that number is accurate.
Speaker 1: So there seems to be a common theme is people
Speaker 1: figure out how to rip off the government. I don't
Speaker 1: care if it's COVID relief back in the day, I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's if it's childcare, I don't care
Speaker 1: if it's elder care. But they find these windows of
Speaker 1: opportunity and the government just pays and they don't even
Speaker 1: monitor whether or not the money's going to people in need.
Speaker 4: Well, it shows that the government's too big and too unaccountable.
Speaker 4: But those days are over. We are going after it aggressively.
Speaker 4: I'm very grateful for Vice President Vance for his leadership
Speaker 4: on this. I'm grateful for Nick Shirley and so many
Speaker 4: others that are reporting what they know. And I want
Speaker 4: to encourage people that are listening. If you know something,
Speaker 4: please tell. But I do also want to bring up
Speaker 4: that blue states like Illinois are refusing to cooperate with
Speaker 4: the government as we are trying to bring accountability to
Speaker 4: these programs.
Speaker 1: Well, how do they get to not cooperate When it's
Speaker 1: federal taxpayer dollars that we're talking about here, They don't
Speaker 1: have a choice but to cooperate. And you know, I
Speaker 1: know that the FBI director, I interviewed him on this
Speaker 1: program this week. I know he is committed to rooting
Speaker 1: out waste, fraud, and abuse, and I know that this
Speaker 1: is one of his top priorities. But there's a lot
Speaker 1: of investigative work also that has to go into it.
Speaker 4: Well, because they've been able to get away with it,
Speaker 4: but those days are over. For example, we want I'm
Speaker 4: going to use Illinois, that's where I'm from, Illinois. We
Speaker 4: want ILLINOI to release their snap roles so we can
Speaker 4: see who's actually collecting. I mean, the amount of abuse
Speaker 4: that's been uncovered already in the red states that have cooperated,
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable. I can't imagine what it's going to be
Speaker 4: when we can get these roles like the snap.
Speaker 2: Roles or well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: If they're not willing to cooperate, considering its federal taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 1: how about they don't get a penny until they cooperate.
Speaker 4: Well, yes, that's what we're doing, and we are suing
Speaker 4: Illinois over it, but it's now hung up in court,
Speaker 4: of course with a Democrat judge. But we have to
Speaker 4: cut off the funding for states that will not cooperate
Speaker 4: and adhere to the program's requirements. My bill, in particular,
Speaker 4: it's just swaps the word may for shall and the
Speaker 4: law making penalties a requirement not an option. In the past,
Speaker 4: the penalties have been an option and people basically crime
Speaker 4: paid in our country. But those days are over.
Speaker 1: Well, please keep us updated, congress Woman. This is vitally
Speaker 1: important work. I can't stand when people steal from other people.
Speaker 1: And you know, honest, hard working, tax paying Americans that
Speaker 1: deserve these quote benefits that they've been promised most of
Speaker 1: their adult life. It's not going to be available to
Speaker 1: them because so many people are milking the system and
Speaker 1: draining it of all of its financial resources. So we
Speaker 1: do appreciate your time. Thank you so much. Congresswoman Mary
Speaker 1: Miller Illinois.
Speaker 2: Thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 5: Goodbye.
Speaker 2: By nine four one, Shawn are toll free telephone number.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program as
Speaker 1: we continue, and we have Ken in Idaho.
Speaker 2: Ken next Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6: Glad you called, Hey, Sean, great to talk to you.
Speaker 6: What's going on yesterday? He lives in a red state
Speaker 6: and he was expressing concern about those moving from blue
Speaker 6: states and he wants to make sure that they leave
Speaker 6: their values and back in their blue state. Now, my
Speaker 6: wife and I are refugees from blue blue California. We
Speaker 6: came to Idaho seeking refuge and I hear this admonition
Speaker 6: all the time from long term residents, and I have
Speaker 6: learned to respond by saying to them, oh wow, I
Speaker 6: didn't know you were a liberal. And of course they're
Speaker 6: shocked and dismayed that I would say such a thing.
Speaker 6: But then I'll point out that numerous studies and polls
Speaker 6: have shown that as a whole, the people moving from
Speaker 6: blue states into red states are more conservative than the
Speaker 6: red state on average is to start with. So when
Speaker 6: people from blue states enter, they're actually making the red
Speaker 6: state even more red.
Speaker 1: Well, I think this was my point to this caller yesterday,
Speaker 1: that you're referring to the odds are if you've decided
Speaker 1: and you made the choice that you're going to uproot
Speaker 1: your family and your life and you're going to begin
Speaker 1: new because of you know, law and order, safety, security,
Speaker 1: quality of life issues. You know, California, highest poverty rate,
Speaker 1: highest homeless rate, highest taxes across the board. And you're
Speaker 1: going to go to Nevada, You're going to go to Texas,
Speaker 1: You're going to go to Arizona, you know, wherever you're going,
Speaker 1: or if you're leaving New York and you're going to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: the Carolina's or my free state of Florida. You know,
Speaker 1: most people that make that decision don't make that decision lightly.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think most people probably that are
Speaker 1: making that call are in the category where we are.
Speaker 2: I'd say net net gain.
Speaker 1: I'd say at least three quarters of the people that
Speaker 1: would be moving, you know, would be smart enough not
Speaker 1: to not to vote in the very policies they ran
Speaker 1: away from and the politicians that support them.
Speaker 6: Well, that's absolutely true. I couldn't agree more. The people
Speaker 6: who are blue and are currently in blue states are
Speaker 6: perfectly happy, happy to wallow in the pig sty that
Speaker 6: they have made their own state into. They do not
Speaker 6: want to leave their blue states and you know, jump
Speaker 6: into the way of a red state where they're the oddball.
Speaker 6: They're going to be the out person. You know, we
Speaker 6: don't have blue people moving here. I know this is
Speaker 6: purely anecdotal because I don't hang out with a lot
Speaker 6: of liberals, really, but I do encounter them at work
Speaker 6: and in other places. I know so many people from
Speaker 6: blue states that have moved to Idaho that are extremely conservative.
Speaker 6: I do not know a single liberal who has moved
Speaker 6: to Idaho at all.
Speaker 2: I just don't Well, I'll give you.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I mean, Silicon Valley, known
Speaker 1: for its great wealth. I don't know what the politics
Speaker 1: of two of the co founders of Google are. Larry Page,
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Larry Ellison is known as a
Speaker 1: fairly libertarian. He's the head of or Now buying Paramount
Speaker 1: with his son. Okay, so, but his son donated to Biden,
Speaker 1: he donated a Trump. I have no idea where they
Speaker 1: really stand. Or you know, out of Washington State, the
Speaker 1: former CEO of Starbucks, I don't know. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what Ken Griffin's politics are. I just know he
Speaker 1: didn't like being docked and he looked at what he
Speaker 1: was going to invest in New York. Now he's going
Speaker 1: to invest it in Florida. I mean it's really that simple.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 1: I went over these numbers earlier in the program today,
Speaker 1: and I think it's worth going over again because it's
Speaker 1: impacting so many, you know, states in this country. And
Speaker 1: you're going to see something else that happens in twenty
Speaker 1: thirty when we redo the census, And what you will
Speaker 1: hear and see is that all of these blue states
Speaker 1: they're going to lose a lot of congressional representation.
Speaker 2: They just are. And you know what's that go ahead.
Speaker 6: News right there? Absolutely, you know.
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying I think this is a trend
Speaker 1: people know failure.
Speaker 2: And then you know, one guy said, well, why are
Speaker 2: you making me leave? Why are you telling me to leave?
Speaker 1: Why if everybody leaves, We're never going to be able
Speaker 1: to fix it because I've given up on it. Texas,
Speaker 1: for example, I talk about Wall Street south of Florida.
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example of Texas.
Speaker 1: Texas is now home to more Fortune five hundred companies
Speaker 1: than California. Samsung is now following Exxon's lead, and they're
Speaker 1: leaving New Jersey for Texas. Every major bank, financial institution,
Speaker 1: private equity firm, all of them, all the investment companies
Speaker 1: there are more employees in the state of Florida.
Speaker 2: Than there are on Wall Street. The migration's taking place.
Speaker 1: The one thing I've learned about most wealthy people I've
Speaker 1: met in my life is they're not stupid.
Speaker 2: They didn't get wealthy being stupid.
Speaker 1: They got there. And again i'm not talking talking about
Speaker 1: people don't. I don't know trust fund babies. I've never
Speaker 1: met one to be not that I know of. Maybe
Speaker 1: actually I have. But but for most people that accumulate
Speaker 1: stuff in life, they work their ass off. They are
Speaker 1: very innovative and creative, and they just create goods and
Speaker 1: services that people want, need and desire.
Speaker 2: You can't force people to buy stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish I could force everybody to listen
Speaker 1: three hours of day to this radio program, watch my
Speaker 1: TV show, watch my podcast.
Speaker 2: I can't force them.
Speaker 1: So my next best option is to do as compelling
Speaker 1: a show shows as I can every day, exceed expectations
Speaker 1: and offer news information in a fun way that you're
Speaker 1: not going to get anywhere else. That's that's the only
Speaker 1: way I know to succeed.
Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly how it should be done. It's using logic, reason,
Speaker 6: and people's freedom to decide. Right there, rather than forcing
Speaker 6: them to do that.
Speaker 2: So listen.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful to every one of you that are listening
Speaker 1: to my voice right now because you made a decision
Speaker 1: to listen to this program.
Speaker 2: And I don't take that for granted. I know I
Speaker 2: have to earn your earn.
Speaker 1: Your trust and respect every day anyway, Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and nine one, Shawn is our number.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: Draining the swamp, one corrupt politician at a time. This
Speaker 2: is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: You know, if there's one thing I can't stand are
Speaker 1: people that take a adam shift to this country. They
Speaker 1: have such a lack of appreciation. We're about to celebrate
Speaker 1: our two hundred and fiftieth year of this great country,
Speaker 1: and you think of all the blood, the toil, the sweat,
Speaker 1: the tears.
Speaker 2: Think of all of it.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you right now there's so much sacrifice
Speaker 1: so we can live safe and secure. And you know,
Speaker 1: and then you I'm not saying in America is the
Speaker 1: perfect country. I'm not saying you can't disagree with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But if you wanted Kamala Harris and you're lost great, fine,
Speaker 1: that's your problem, that's not my problem. But to trash
Speaker 1: the country that, especially the people this country has given
Speaker 1: them so much, it really infuriates me and angers me.
Speaker 1: Now I remember Richard gear Officer and a Gentleman. Actually
Speaker 1: a good movie, although I'm not recommending it any longer.
Speaker 2: I'll never watch it again. You know. Listen to what
Speaker 2: he says.
Speaker 1: He's in Berlin, Germany, and he's kind of a It
Speaker 1: comes off as a pompous ass anyway, but he says
Speaker 1: he's deeply ashamed by the US government's immigration rhetoric.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 7: Human history is in many ways the history of migration,
Speaker 7: of movement. It's a story of people adapting, building, contributing,
Speaker 7: and dreaming. And yet somehow, in today's debates, we often
Speaker 7: speak about migrants, about refugees, as if they were different
Speaker 7: from us. I think the term I was actually given today.
Speaker 7: Apparently the US government is calling aliens aliens. That's the
Speaker 7: latest it had been vermin. Now it's aliens. Ashamed of this.
Speaker 7: I want you to know they belong to another category
Speaker 7: of human beings, as if their hopes and fears and
Speaker 7: aspirations were somehow less legitimate than our own.
Speaker 1: Now, he's saying that on foreign soil, and he's saying
Speaker 1: that in a country and on a continent that is
Speaker 1: disintegrating before our eyes.
Speaker 2: You know what my attitude is, stay in Berlin.
Speaker 1: Unfettered illegal immigration, though, is their biggest problem.
Speaker 2: You know. We had Bill O'Reilly on the program.
Speaker 1: He just got back from Europe and he said he's
Speaker 1: doing a segment on how this continent has changed. I
Speaker 1: don't even think Western Europe can recover because they.
Speaker 2: Have allowed people to enter their countries.
Speaker 1: Great Britain I never thought on my lifetime I would
Speaker 1: report as close to one hundred Sharia courts in Great Britain.
Speaker 1: I never thought a country like France, with its rich
Speaker 1: culture and history would have no go zones. They're allowing
Speaker 1: people in by the millions, unvetted, and they're not people
Speaker 1: that want to assimilate to the country that they are
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 2: And then you even have amongst them a.
Speaker 1: Subset which would be radicalized Islamis, and those are the
Speaker 1: ones that practice Sharia law. Once Sharia courts have fought
Speaker 1: for them and have gotten it, and politicians and all
Speaker 1: of these individual European countries dare not, you know, speak
Speaker 1: out against it. Or else they're going to be called
Speaker 1: horrible names.
Speaker 2: And big etc. You know.
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Howard of Australia famously said, if you come
Speaker 1: to Australia, you got to be an Australian. And I
Speaker 1: would say that should be the same for everybody. And
Speaker 1: if Richard gear doesn't like this country that much, he
Speaker 1: can stay with Rosy O'Donnell, you know, go to some
Speaker 1: stay in Germany, and good luck to you, because he's
Speaker 1: living in his rich bubble like many Hollywood stars like
Speaker 1: Rosie O'Donnell. I feel so guilty. I never thought i'd
Speaker 1: get a facelift, but I got a face lift.
Speaker 2: I'm just tired of these people. Linda, I know you agree.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, he is the absolute worst. This might
Speaker 8: be one of those rare times that you and I
Speaker 8: agree one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: What do you mean? One of the rare times I
Speaker 2: was waiting for that.
Speaker 8: I was like, Wow, no reaction, No, he's you know,
Speaker 8: it's so funny. I remember when Pretty Woman came out,
Speaker 8: and then several movies after that, because as far as.
Speaker 2: The way, I never loved that movie me neither. I
Speaker 2: didn't think it was that great.
Speaker 8: I was like, what's so great about this two dumb
Speaker 8: liberals glorifying being a hooker. I'm like, great, great movie.
Speaker 8: But the whole point of my story is he was
Speaker 8: such a loser in that movie. I mean, just absolutely ridiculous,
Speaker 8: such a pompous blowhard. And I was like, he's not
Speaker 8: even acting, this is just who he is, and he
Speaker 8: put on like a different name for the script. I
Speaker 8: just ridiculous. I tell you what. Let him stay in Germany.
Speaker 8: We'll see how long you lasts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our busy phones toll free.
Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine to four one.
Speaker 2: Sean.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: Greg Ohio, the buck guy state Greg, how are you
Speaker 1: glad you called?
Speaker 6: Sir?
Speaker 9: Thank you, Thank you, Sean, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Well, it's my pleasure. What's on your mind?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm thinking about look at all of the damage
Speaker 9: Democratic policies have done to this country, all the death,
Speaker 9: all the rapes, all the murders. We need to make
Speaker 9: that front and center for this next election. We need
Speaker 9: to make sure that every time a Democratic elective official
Speaker 9: is in front of a camera, they get asked if
Speaker 9: they support what their policies have done.
Speaker 2: You know, then you know what I want an answer to.
Speaker 1: I want to an answer to, uh, do you support Graham Platner?
Speaker 1: Do you support James tall Rico? Do you support Zoron
Speaker 1: Marxist Kami Mumdani port aoc? Do you agree with the squad?
Speaker 1: I want I want them on the record. And the
Speaker 1: reason they won't answer those questions is because they know
Speaker 1: those people are crazy. Either they quietly agree with them
Speaker 1: and support them, or be they are terrified of them
Speaker 1: turning on them and they would lose an election and
Speaker 1: lose their power. That's why you will never hear the
Speaker 1: moral coward Chuck Schumer or how came Jeffries ever speak
Speaker 1: out about the lunacy of the people that really run
Speaker 1: their party. And I can add Grandpa, Bernie and Pocahontas
Speaker 1: to the list.
Speaker 9: Well, Platner, I'm a veteran. Platner is an embarrassment, I
Speaker 9: think yeah, I think so. It's and somebody needs to
Speaker 9: tell Bernie Sanders that he is the oligarchy.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's listen.
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with successful people, but if
Speaker 1: you're going to go around the country and lecture, quote
Speaker 1: the oligarchs or really the rich people tax the rich,
Speaker 1: tax the rich, tax the ridge, and then you run
Speaker 1: out of other people's money. But and then fly there
Speaker 1: in your little, you know, precious private jet which has
Speaker 1: a lot of carbon admissions that they've been telling us
Speaker 1: for decades is horrible, you know, them about a class
Speaker 1: a hypocrite. You just are, you know, But and then
Speaker 1: and then defending you know, the practice, and keep doing it.
Speaker 9: But these democratic policies. I've asked people that are liberals
Speaker 9: and nobody's ever answered this. So next time you get
Speaker 9: a liberal on your show, this might be a question
Speaker 9: you want to ask. They've already traded the lives for
Speaker 9: other people to come to this country and possibly and
Speaker 9: some of them do come in this country for just
Speaker 9: a better life. They're still criminals for Carl Ross and
Speaker 9: the border, of course, but that might be the only
Speaker 9: crime they've committed, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: They're not Tom Holman's top priority. They're not Mark way
Speaker 2: mowens top priority.
Speaker 1: But you know, you buy the very fact that you
Speaker 1: entered this country illegally.
Speaker 2: There's gotta be consequences.
Speaker 5: Agree with that.
Speaker 9: But it's even more than that they've already traded the
Speaker 9: life of Joscelyn Nungary for these people to have a
Speaker 9: better life. So ask them do they like that trade?
Speaker 9: Is that a good trade for them? The trade?
Speaker 1: But remember you're dealing with people that wouldn't stand for
Speaker 1: Lake and Riley's family or Joscelyn Nungary's family at the
Speaker 1: Joint Session speech when Donald Trump got into office his
Speaker 1: second time.
Speaker 9: Both times, that is in both speeches, and they wouldn't
Speaker 9: stand h I watched both.
Speaker 2: All right, my friend, Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 1: How do you not stand for a family that lost
Speaker 1: a loved one, a beautiful twelve year old girl, young
Speaker 1: nursing student.
Speaker 2: How do you not stand for them? Where is your soul?
Speaker 2: That's a soulless group of people.
Speaker 1: To me, anyway, Greg, I got a Roman, go buck. Guys,
Speaker 1: appreciate you being with us. All right, quick break, right back.
Speaker 1: More your phone calls coming up toll free. Our number
Speaker 1: is eight hundred ninety four one, Sean. If you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program as we continue.
Speaker 2: Are you sick of fake news?
Speaker 1: Well we've got you covered hannedy watches hear and as
Speaker 1: the news you need. John Hannity, all right, back to
Speaker 1: our busy phones, it's toll free eight hundred ninety four
Speaker 1: one Sean if you want to join us. Let's say
Speaker 1: hi to Jamison and Alabama. What's up Jamison?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 10: I'm doing great, sir? How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good? What's going on? Listen?
Speaker 10: Longtime listener, been listening to your show since before nine
Speaker 10: to eleven's first time ever got through. So thank you.
Speaker 10: It's an honor to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Well, the honor is all mine. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 10: I want to talk to you about Iran. And I've
Speaker 10: got a message from your friend Rick Burgess.
Speaker 2: I love Rick Purchase. Yeah, what's go what's the message
Speaker 2: from Rick?
Speaker 10: Well, he says, uh, you know, he wills to do
Speaker 10: some more with you. You used to help out a
Speaker 10: little bit when they first started the Rick Burgess show,
Speaker 10: and he said he's going to be down in your
Speaker 10: area and he will also meet you for dinner, and
Speaker 10: unlike Speedy, he will.
Speaker 1: Pay Oh out shot across the bow. No, we had
Speaker 1: when did we have Rick on? It wasn't that long ago, Lando,
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago at all. No, we had
Speaker 1: him on the program. You know when he was with
Speaker 1: Rick and Bubba. That mean two of the funniest guys
Speaker 1: on radio, I thought, and they was so unique and
Speaker 1: different because they were funny as hell, irreverend as hell,
Speaker 1: but also conservative and they talked about you know, important
Speaker 1: issues like family, god, faith, and that show is a big.
Speaker 10: Hit, and people like me listen to you and people
Speaker 10: like Burgens because your stories are our stories. You're so relatable.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: I'm from Alabama, diehard Christian, you know, and I've listened
Speaker 10: to all these other talking heads over the years, and
Speaker 10: I believe your values and my values are very similar.
Speaker 10: But that's why we listen to you every day, is
Speaker 10: because you're one of us, just like.
Speaker 2: Rick Well, I feel I feel like I am.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: I've told this story before, but I never got into
Speaker 1: radio to make money. As a matter of fact, the
Speaker 1: odds of me being successful or negligible, and you know,
Speaker 1: when somebody paid. My first gig was in Alabama, in Huntsville, Alabama,
Speaker 1: actually Athens, Alabama's where the studio was. And I was
Speaker 1: making nineteen thousand dollars a year and I was the
Speaker 1: happiest kid in the world. I thought my life changed.
Speaker 1: I was doing what I loved. Never dreamed i'd be
Speaker 1: successful never. But I'm grateful to all of you because
Speaker 1: you made that happen.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you Jesus. You are successful and you're having
Speaker 10: a great show. Now. The whole thing was Iran Like.
Speaker 10: I'm just the common guy. I'm one of the folks,
Speaker 10: as mister O'Reilly would say, right, just one of the folks.
Speaker 10: I loved Trump, voted for him three times. I would
Speaker 10: vote for him again if I could. I don't vote
Speaker 10: Democrat because of Bill Clinton and NAFTA. But this Iran
Speaker 10: thing is dragging out. Prices are too high, gas is
Speaker 10: too high. It's really taking effect on my family and
Speaker 10: what we can and cannot do. And I know there's
Speaker 10: other families like that. And I'm calling from deep red Alabama,
Speaker 10: and you know, I'm hearing people full shattered. This is
Speaker 10: this has got to stop. And I noticed you talked

Speaker 10: any kind of end to this in the near future.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the short answer. How it ends.
Speaker 1: I don't know when exactly it ends. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I understand the president's thinking. He's thinking, if he can
Speaker 1: avoid pummeling this country into the into the Stone Age,
Speaker 1: he's gonna try he's gonna bend over backwards for peace,
Speaker 1: and then there'll be a moment that he's had enough
Speaker 1: and he realizes it's impossible. That every day that passes,

Speaker 2: I feel people's frustration.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to pay more for gas than we have to.
Speaker 1: It sucks, it's awful. So it's it's a strain on
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but hopefully sooner than later. And
Speaker 1: I have a lot of faith in the President's decision making,
Speaker 1: and he was the only one that had had the
Speaker 1: moral clarity to take these people on
