WEBVTT - The Fraud Crackdown

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Taulfree, It's eight hundred and

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>nine foot one, Shawn. You want to be a part

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of the program. In a moment, we'll talk to Congresswoman

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Mary Miller of Illinois with an update on her legislation

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>it passed yesterday. In summary, her legislation cracks down on

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:20.159
<v Speaker 1>fraud and waste and abuse and frankly outright corruption and

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>stealing that's been taking place. You know, we saw Nick

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Shirley's revelations in Minneapolis, we saw his revelations in California,

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>but especially when it comes to home health care and

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>childcare assistants, et cetera. Remember Nick Shirley went to all

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>those childcare places and there are no children, and yet

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>we're paying fortunes. Oz on this program last week, said

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>he thinks the numbers up to one hundred billion dollars.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>It's insane. Let me play doctor Oz. You know, he

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>said the area near Columbus is responsible for one third

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of the one point five billion spent on home health care.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he said.

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>I was visiting a facility called the LaBelle. Home health

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 3>is run by women Njumi Tatsing. You may not see

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>her here today because she's in jail, and she went

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to jail because she was accused and convicted of taking

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 3>billing practices to a level we had not seen before.

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 3>She was building for people who had deceased. Building for

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>dead people is a bad looking court, and it showed

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 3>at her conviction when she was accused and appropriately taken

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 3>out for doing things that we find reprehensible. Now, she

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 3>was the only one. We wouldn't be here in force. Unfortunately,

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 3>this area around Columbus is responsible, in Franklin County for

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>one third of all of the one and a half

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 3>billion dollars spent on home healthcare in Ohio. Think about that.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 3>A third of all of the money spent on home

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 3>healthcare in the entire great state of Ohio is generated here.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>That's three times what you would expect. There's a road

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>very close to where we are, two hundred and eighty

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 3>eight home health care facilities in that several block area

0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>on that one road. Again, it defies belief. Some of

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 3>these buildings were vacant. You wouldn't put anybody up in

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>those buildings, not certainly the place where that would house

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>home healthcare.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, this is nothing but madness. This is your

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>hard earned money. And I can tell you that this

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>has to stop. And here's the more sinister aspect of this,

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>with waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, and outright stealing. It seems

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in many instances that's money that would otherwise go to

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>deserving Americans and that money will be unavailable to them

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>because of the widespread nature of this activity. Now, the

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>legislation yesterday that was put forward by Congresswoman Mary Miller

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>in Illinois. Her legislation cracks down on fraud and abuse

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>in the federal childcare assistance program, strengthens accountability measures. Remember

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>out in California, they wanted, you know, the silenced Nick

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Shirley Act and Governor Newsom, mister do nothing governor, failed governor,

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>probably the worst governor in the history of California in

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the country. He's going after Nick Shirley. They want to

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>silence the person that is exposing all of this waste,

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>fraud and abuse. Anyway, Congresswoman Mary Miller is with us

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>from Illinois. I saw your ex post that said criminals

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>have exploited government assistance programs for years, stealing millions of

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>taxpayer dollars, diverting resources away from vulnerable children, working families,

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the House. Passage of my Stop Childcare Scams Act ensures

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that the fraud will no longer be met within action.

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I am grateful to the chairman in this case, Representative

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Wahlberg for his leadership and my colleagues for moving this

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>bill through the Education Workforce Committee and House Republicans now

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>are united and rooting out waste, fraud, corruption abuse throughout

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the federal government. Congresswoman, well, first of all, thank you

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>for what you're doing. Number two OZ thinks it's in

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the hundreds of billions of dollars.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>What do you seeing?

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, yes, the Government Accountability Office recently estimated that the

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 4>federal government loses up to a half of a trillion

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 4>dollars every year to fraud based on twenty eighteen through

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty two data, and this is absolutely unacceptable. I

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>can tell you that all of US Republicans are committed

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 4>to aggressively going after and eliminating this fraud and holding

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>people accountable for it. This is completely partisan. Not one

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 4>Democrat supports transparency or accountability when it comes to government spending.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean when we talk about like, for example,

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>we saw in Minnesota, especially in the Somali community, that

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it was like widespread that an autism rate of nearly

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty plus percent. And when I was told me that number,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, I fill off my chair because there's no

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>way humanly possible, scientifically possible, that that number is accurate.

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>So there seems to be a common theme is people

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to rip off the government. I don't

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>care if it's COVID relief back in the day, I

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>don't care if it's if it's childcare, I don't care

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>if it's elder care. But they find these windows of

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and the government just pays and they don't even

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>monitor whether or not the money's going to people in need.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, it shows that the government's too big and too unaccountable.

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 4>But those days are over. We are going after it aggressively.

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm very grateful for Vice President Vance for his leadership

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 4>on this. I'm grateful for Nick Shirley and so many

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 4>others that are reporting what they know. And I want

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.480
<v Speaker 4>to encourage people that are listening. If you know something,

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 4>please tell. But I do also want to bring up

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 4>that blue states like Illinois are refusing to cooperate with

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 4>the government as we are trying to bring accountability to

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 4>these programs.

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, how do they get to not cooperate When it's

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>federal taxpayer dollars that we're talking about here, They don't

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 1>have a choice but to cooperate. And you know, I

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>know that the FBI director, I interviewed him on this

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>program this week. I know he is committed to rooting

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>out waste, fraud, and abuse, and I know that this

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>is one of his top priorities. But there's a lot

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of investigative work also that has to go into it.

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, because they've been able to get away with it,

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 4>but those days are over. For example, we want I'm

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 4>going to use Illinois, that's where I'm from, Illinois. We

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 4>want ILLINOI to release their snap roles so we can

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 4>see who's actually collecting. I mean, the amount of abuse

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 4>that's been uncovered already in the red states that have cooperated,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 4>it's unbelievable. I can't imagine what it's going to be

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 4>when we can get these roles like the snap.

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Roles or well, let me ask you this.

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>If they're not willing to cooperate, considering its federal taxpayer dollars,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>how about they don't get a penny until they cooperate.

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, yes, that's what we're doing, and we are suing

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Illinois over it, but it's now hung up in court,

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 4>of course with a Democrat judge. But we have to

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 4>cut off the funding for states that will not cooperate

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 4>and adhere to the program's requirements. My bill, in particular,

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 4>it's just swaps the word may for shall and the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 4>law making penalties a requirement not an option. In the past,

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 4>the penalties have been an option and people basically crime

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>paid in our country. But those days are over.

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, please keep us updated, congress Woman. This is vitally

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>important work. I can't stand when people steal from other people.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know, honest, hard working, tax paying Americans that

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>deserve these quote benefits that they've been promised most of

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>their adult life. It's not going to be available to

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>them because so many people are milking the system and

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>draining it of all of its financial resources. So we

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>do appreciate your time. Thank you so much. Congresswoman Mary

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Miller Illinois.

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, You're welcome.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:32.079
<v Speaker 5>Goodbye.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 2>By nine four one, Shawn are toll free telephone number.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>You want to be a part of the program as

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we continue, and we have Ken in Idaho.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Ken next Sean Hannity Show.

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 6>Glad you called, Hey, Sean, great to talk to you.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 6>What's going on yesterday? He lives in a red state

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 6>and he was expressing concern about those moving from blue

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 6>states and he wants to make sure that they leave

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 6>their values and back in their blue state. Now, my

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 6>wife and I are refugees from blue blue California. We

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 6>came to Idaho seeking refuge and I hear this admonition

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 6>all the time from long term residents, and I have

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 6>learned to respond by saying to them, oh wow, I

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 6>didn't know you were a liberal. And of course they're

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 6>shocked and dismayed that I would say such a thing.

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 6>But then I'll point out that numerous studies and polls

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 6>have shown that as a whole, the people moving from

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 6>blue states into red states are more conservative than the

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 6>red state on average is to start with. So when

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 6>people from blue states enter, they're actually making the red

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 6>state even more red.

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think this was my point to this caller yesterday,

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're referring to the odds are if you've decided

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and you made the choice that you're going to uproot

0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>your family and your life and you're going to begin

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.439
<v Speaker 1>new because of you know, law and order, safety, security,

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>quality of life issues. You know, California, highest poverty rate,

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>highest homeless rate, highest taxes across the board. And you're

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>going to go to Nevada, You're going to go to Texas,

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>You're going to go to Arizona, you know, wherever you're going,

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>or if you're leaving New York and you're going to Tennessee,

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina's or my free state of Florida. You know,

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>most people that make that decision don't make that decision lightly.

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think most people probably that are

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>making that call are in the category where we are.

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd say net net gain.

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd say at least three quarters of the people that

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>would be moving, you know, would be smart enough not

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to not to vote in the very policies they ran

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>away from and the politicians that support them.

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's absolutely true. I couldn't agree more. The people

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 6>who are blue and are currently in blue states are

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 6>perfectly happy, happy to wallow in the pig sty that

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 6>they have made their own state into. They do not

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 6>want to leave their blue states and you know, jump

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 6>into the way of a red state where they're the oddball.

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 6>They're going to be the out person. You know, we

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 6>don't have blue people moving here. I know this is

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 6>purely anecdotal because I don't hang out with a lot

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 6>of liberals, really, but I do encounter them at work

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 6>and in other places. I know so many people from

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 6>blue states that have moved to Idaho that are extremely conservative.

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 6>I do not know a single liberal who has moved

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 6>to Idaho at all.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I just don't Well, I'll give you.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an example. I mean, Silicon Valley, known

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>for its great wealth. I don't know what the politics

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of two of the co founders of Google are. Larry Page,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know. Larry Ellison is known as a

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>fairly libertarian. He's the head of or Now buying Paramount

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>with his son. Okay, so, but his son donated to Biden,

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 1>he donated a Trump. I have no idea where they

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>really stand. Or you know, out of Washington State, the

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>former CEO of Starbucks, I don't know. I have no

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>idea what Ken Griffin's politics are. I just know he

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't like being docked and he looked at what he

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>was going to invest in New York. Now he's going

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to invest it in Florida. I mean it's really that simple.

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Look.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I went over these numbers earlier in the program today,

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's worth going over again because it's

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>impacting so many, you know, states in this country. And

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see something else that happens in twenty

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty when we redo the census, And what you will

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>hear and see is that all of these blue states

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 1>they're going to lose a lot of congressional representation.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 2>They just are. And you know what's that go ahead.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 6>News right there? Absolutely, you know.

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just saying I think this is a trend

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>people know failure.

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, one guy said, well, why are

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>you making me leave? Why are you telling me to leave?

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Why if everybody leaves, We're never going to be able

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to fix it because I've given up on it. Texas,

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>for example, I talk about Wall Street south of Florida.

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you an example of Texas.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Texas is now home to more Fortune five hundred companies

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>than California. Samsung is now following Exxon's lead, and they're

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>leaving New Jersey for Texas. Every major bank, financial institution,

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>private equity firm, all of them, all the investment companies

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>there are more employees in the state of Florida.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Than there are on Wall Street. The migration's taking place.

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>The one thing I've learned about most wealthy people I've

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>met in my life is they're not stupid.

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 2>They didn't get wealthy being stupid.

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>They got there. And again i'm not talking talking about

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>people don't. I don't know trust fund babies. I've never

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>met one to be not that I know of. Maybe

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>actually I have. But but for most people that accumulate

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 1>stuff in life, they work their ass off. They are

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>very innovative and creative, and they just create goods and

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>services that people want, need and desire.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>You can't force people to buy stuff.

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I wish I could force everybody to listen

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>three hours of day to this radio program, watch my

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>TV show, watch my podcast.

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I can't force them.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>So my next best option is to do as compelling

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a show shows as I can every day, exceed expectations

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and offer news information in a fun way that you're

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>not going to get anywhere else. That's that's the only

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>way I know to succeed.

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's exactly how it should be done. It's using logic, reason,

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 6>and people's freedom to decide. Right there, rather than forcing

0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 6>them to do that.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>So listen.

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm grateful to every one of you that are listening

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>to my voice right now because you made a decision

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to listen to this program.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And I don't take that for granted. I know I

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 2>have to earn your earn.

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Your trust and respect every day anyway, Thank you, sir,

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the call.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Eight hundred and nine one, Shawn is our number.

0:15:18.040 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>You want to be a part of the program.

0:15:55.080 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Draining the swamp, one corrupt politician at a time. This

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>is the Sean Hannity Show.

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, if there's one thing I can't stand are

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>people that take a adam shift to this country. They

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 1>have such a lack of appreciation. We're about to celebrate

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>our two hundred and fiftieth year of this great country,

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and you think of all the blood, the toil, the sweat,

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the tears.

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Think of all of it.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you right now there's so much sacrifice

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>so we can live safe and secure. And you know,

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you I'm not saying in America is the

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>perfect country. I'm not saying you can't disagree with Donald Trump.

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 1>But if you wanted Kamala Harris and you're lost great, fine,

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that's your problem, that's not my problem. But to trash

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the country that, especially the people this country has given

0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>them so much, it really infuriates me and angers me.

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I remember Richard gear Officer and a Gentleman. Actually

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.959
<v Speaker 1>a good movie, although I'm not recommending it any longer.

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll never watch it again. You know. Listen to what

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>he says.

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>He's in Berlin, Germany, and he's kind of a It

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>comes off as a pompous ass anyway, but he says

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>he's deeply ashamed by the US government's immigration rhetoric.

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Listen.

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.360
<v Speaker 7>Human history is in many ways the history of migration,

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 7>of movement. It's a story of people adapting, building, contributing,

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 7>and dreaming. And yet somehow, in today's debates, we often

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 7>speak about migrants, about refugees, as if they were different

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 7>from us. I think the term I was actually given today.

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 7>Apparently the US government is calling aliens aliens. That's the

0:17:55.160 --> 0:18:00.879
<v Speaker 7>latest it had been vermin. Now it's aliens. Ashamed of this.

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 7>I want you to know they belong to another category

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 7>of human beings, as if their hopes and fears and

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 7>aspirations were somehow less legitimate than our own.

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Now, he's saying that on foreign soil, and he's saying

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that in a country and on a continent that is

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.919
<v Speaker 1>disintegrating before our eyes.

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 2>You know what my attitude is, stay in Berlin.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Unfettered illegal immigration, though, is their biggest problem.

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You know. We had Bill O'Reilly on the program.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>He just got back from Europe and he said he's

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>doing a segment on how this continent has changed. I

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 1>don't even think Western Europe can recover because they.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Have allowed people to enter their countries.

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Great Britain I never thought on my lifetime I would

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 1>report as close to one hundred Sharia courts in Great Britain.

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I never thought a country like France, with its rich

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 1>culture and history would have no go zones. They're allowing

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>people in by the millions, unvetted, and they're not people

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that want to assimilate to the country that they are

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:14.959
<v Speaker 1>going to.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And then you even have amongst them a.

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Subset which would be radicalized Islamis, and those are the

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>ones that practice Sharia law. Once Sharia courts have fought

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>for them and have gotten it, and politicians and all

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 1>of these individual European countries dare not, you know, speak

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>out against it. Or else they're going to be called

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>horrible names.

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 2>And big etc. You know.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Howard of Australia famously said, if you come

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>to Australia, you got to be an Australian. And I

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>would say that should be the same for everybody. And

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>if Richard gear doesn't like this country that much, he

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.239
<v Speaker 1>can stay with Rosy O'Donnell, you know, go to some

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>stay in Germany, and good luck to you, because he's

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 1>living in his rich bubble like many Hollywood stars like

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Rosie O'Donnell. I feel so guilty. I never thought i'd

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 1>get a facelift, but I got a face lift.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm just tired of these people. Linda, I know you agree.

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 8>Oh my god, he is the absolute worst. This might

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 8>be one of those rare times that you and I

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 8>agree one hundred percent.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? One of the rare times I

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 2>was waiting for that.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 8>I was like, Wow, no reaction, No, he's you know,

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 8>it's so funny. I remember when Pretty Woman came out,

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 8>and then several movies after that, because as far as.

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.399
<v Speaker 2>The way, I never loved that movie me neither. I

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't think it was that great.

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.360
<v Speaker 8>I was like, what's so great about this two dumb

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 8>liberals glorifying being a hooker. I'm like, great, great movie.

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 8>But the whole point of my story is he was

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 8>such a loser in that movie. I mean, just absolutely ridiculous,

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 8>such a pompous blowhard. And I was like, he's not

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 8>even acting, this is just who he is, and he

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 8>put on like a different name for the script. I

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 8>just ridiculous. I tell you what. Let him stay in Germany.

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 8>We'll see how long you lasts.

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good point.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to our busy phones toll free.

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It's eight hundred and nine to four one.

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Sean.

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>If you want to be a part of the program,

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Greg Ohio, the buck guy state Greg, how are you

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>glad you called?

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 6>Sir?

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 9>Thank you, Thank you, Sean, thanks for having me.

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's my pleasure. What's on your mind?

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 9>Well, I'm thinking about look at all of the damage

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 9>Democratic policies have done to this country, all the death,

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 9>all the rapes, all the murders. We need to make

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.400
<v Speaker 9>that front and center for this next election. We need

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 9>to make sure that every time a Democratic elective official

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.239
<v Speaker 9>is in front of a camera, they get asked if

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 9>they support what their policies have done.

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:45.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, then you know what I want an answer to.

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to an answer to, uh, do you support Graham Platner?

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you support James tall Rico? Do you support Zoron

0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Marxist Kami Mumdani port aoc? Do you agree with the squad?

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 1>I want I want them on the record. And the

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>reason they won't answer those questions is because they know

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.440
<v Speaker 1>those people are crazy. Either they quietly agree with them

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and support them, or be they are terrified of them

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.479
<v Speaker 1>turning on them and they would lose an election and

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>lose their power. That's why you will never hear the

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:32.199
<v Speaker 1>moral coward Chuck Schumer or how came Jeffries ever speak

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>out about the lunacy of the people that really run

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>their party. And I can add Grandpa, Bernie and Pocahontas

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to the list.

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 9>Well, Platner, I'm a veteran. Platner is an embarrassment, I

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 9>think yeah, I think so. It's and somebody needs to

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 9>tell Bernie Sanders that he is the oligarchy.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:54.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it's listen.

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a problem with successful people, but if

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you're going to go around the country and lecture, quote

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the oligarchs or really the rich people tax the rich,

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>tax the rich, tax the ridge, and then you run

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>out of other people's money. But and then fly there

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 1>in your little, you know, precious private jet which has

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of carbon admissions that they've been telling us

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>for decades is horrible, you know, them about a class

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a hypocrite. You just are, you know, But and then

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and then defending you know, the practice, and keep doing it.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 9>But these democratic policies. I've asked people that are liberals

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:34.719
<v Speaker 9>and nobody's ever answered this. So next time you get

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 9>a liberal on your show, this might be a question

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 9>you want to ask. They've already traded the lives for

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 9>other people to come to this country and possibly and

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 9>some of them do come in this country for just

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 9>a better life. They're still criminals for Carl Ross and

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 9>the border, of course, but that might be the only

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 9>crime they've committed, you know what I mean.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>They're not Tom Holman's top priority. They're not Mark way

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 2>mowens top priority.

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you buy the very fact that you

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>entered this country illegally.

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 2>There's gotta be consequences.

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 5>Agree with that.

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 9>But it's even more than that they've already traded the

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 9>life of Joscelyn Nungary for these people to have a

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 9>better life. So ask them do they like that trade?

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 9>Is that a good trade for them? The trade?

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>But remember you're dealing with people that wouldn't stand for

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Lake and Riley's family or Joscelyn Nungary's family at the

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Joint Session speech when Donald Trump got into office his

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>second time.

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 9>Both times, that is in both speeches, and they wouldn't

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 9>stand h I watched both.

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:39.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, my friend, Yeah, it's horrible.

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 1>How do you not stand for a family that lost

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a loved one, a beautiful twelve year old girl, young

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 1>nursing student.

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 2>How do you not stand for them? Where is your soul?

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>That's a soulless group of people.

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>To me, anyway, Greg, I got a Roman, go buck. Guys,

<v Speaker 2>I'm good? What's going on? Listen?

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 10>Longtime listener, been listening to your show since before nine

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 10>to eleven's first time ever got through. So thank you.

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:15.400
<v Speaker 10>It's an honor to talk to you.

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, the honor is all mine. Thank you. I appreciate it.

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 10>I want to talk to you about Iran. And I've

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 10>got a message from your friend Rick Burgess.

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I love Rick Purchase. Yeah, what's go what's the message

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 2>from Rick?

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 10>Well, he says, uh, you know, he wills to do

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 10>some more with you. You used to help out a

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:36.640
<v Speaker 10>little bit when they first started the Rick Burgess show,

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 10>and he said he's going to be down in your

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 10>area and he will also meet you for dinner, and

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 10>unlike Speedy, he will.

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Pay Oh out shot across the bow. No, we had

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>when did we have Rick on? It wasn't that long ago, Lando,

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that long ago at all. No, we had

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>him on the program. You know when he was with

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Rick and Bubba. That mean two of the funniest guys

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>on radio, I thought, and they was so unique and

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>different because they were funny as hell, irreverend as hell,

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>but also conservative and they talked about you know, important

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>issues like family, god, faith, and that show is a big.

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 10>Hit, and people like me listen to you and people

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.440
<v Speaker 10>like Burgens because your stories are our stories. You're so relatable.

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 10>I'm from Alabama, diehard Christian, you know, and I've listened

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 10>to all these other talking heads over the years, and

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 10>I believe your values and my values are very similar.

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 10>But that's why we listen to you every day, is

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 10>because you're one of us, just like.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Rick Well, I feel I feel like I am.

0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I've told this story before, but I never got into

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>radio to make money. As a matter of fact, the

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:58.159
<v Speaker 1>odds of me being successful or negligible, and you know,

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>when somebody paid. My first gig was in Alabama, in Huntsville, Alabama,

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>actually Athens, Alabama's where the studio was. And I was

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>making nineteen thousand dollars a year and I was the

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>happiest kid in the world. I thought my life changed.

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I was doing what I loved. Never dreamed i'd be

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>successful never. But I'm grateful to all of you because

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:21.439
<v Speaker 1>you made that happen.

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 10>Well, thank you Jesus. You are successful and you're having

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 10>a great show. Now. The whole thing was Iran Like.

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 10>I'm just the common guy. I'm one of the folks,

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.679
<v Speaker 10>as mister O'Reilly would say, right, just one of the folks.

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 10>I loved Trump, voted for him three times. I would

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 10>vote for him again if I could. I don't vote

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 10>Democrat because of Bill Clinton and NAFTA. But this Iran

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 10>thing is dragging out. Prices are too high, gas is

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 10>too high. It's really taking effect on my family and

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 10>what we can and cannot do. And I know there's

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 10>other families like that. And I'm calling from deep red Alabama,

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:00.959
<v Speaker 10>and you know, I'm hearing people full shattered. This is

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 10>this has got to stop. And I noticed you talked

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 10>to the president. I know you have sources. Is there

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 10>any kind of end to this in the near future.

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the short answer. How it ends.

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when exactly it ends. I don't know.

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I understand the president's thinking. He's thinking, if he can

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>avoid pummeling this country into the into the Stone Age,

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna try he's gonna bend over backwards for peace,

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and then there'll be a moment that he's had enough

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and he realizes it's impossible. That every day that passes,

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>we're getting closer to that moment.

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel people's frustration.

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants to pay more for gas than we have to.

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>It sucks, it's awful. So it's it's a strain on

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, but hopefully sooner than later. And

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of faith in the President's decision making,

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and he was the only one that had had the

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>moral clarity to take these people on
