1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: Because someone they had driven a gasoline car. Science evolves

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: and gives us new knowledge with time. What they've clearly

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: decided to do is to not say much. Right, They've

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: said a minimal amount because they're trying to not anger

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. But those options are crappy. Happy Birthday

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: to you, Happy birthday, Give Happy Birthday to you. Freedom

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: is back in style, Welcome to the Revolution, coming sent

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: you want to play our guests off and saying you

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: a concerts Sean Hannity Show, mohind the Scenes, information on

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America eight

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine for one Shawn,

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, well,

13
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: big break News. In the case of Alec Baldwin hit

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: with involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Helena Hutchins.

15
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: On that charge, he faces up to eighteen months in prison.

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: There are potentially other charges gun charges that would have

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: a maximum minimum penalty of five years in prison. Anyway,

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I'm a little bit torn

19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: on this, and I don't know why I shouldn't be torn.

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I have a history with Alec Baldwin. He is a jackass.

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: He's an idiot, he's arrogant, he's pompous, he's an elitist

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: that I've had moments with him. Twitter fights for this

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: idiot once when he was trying out on radio Mark

24
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Levin and I called in and he ended up walking

25
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: out of the studio. He has a notoriously vicious temper.

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: We all know the phone call with his daughter, which

27
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, calling her a pig when she's like thirteen

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: years old, among other things. And you know, how did

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: this happen? Now this is after a lengthy investigation, and

30
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I take no joy in seeing people having trouble in

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: their lives. I just don't anyway here to weigh in

32
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: on it. Joe Concha, author of kaman Man and Fox

33
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: News contributor, in one of the greatest of all time

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: in terms of media reporters. He'd be great with his

35
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: own show on Fox, which we'd love to see one day.

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Carol Roth is with us Entrepreneur, the war on small business,

37
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: how the government used the pandemic to crush the backbone

38
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: of America. You know, the left has always embraced Alec

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Baldwin because he's been so acerbic and so anti conservative,

40
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: and even though he's been vicious with the media, the

41
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: media still can't get enough of him, it seems. What

42
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: do you make of all of that in these charges today,

43
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: Joe Concha, Well, you're right in terms of the left

44
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: embracing in fact that people may forget. But he had

45
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: a primetime show on ms SEE at one point that

46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: lasted about three scare emochis right, not not too long,

47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: a couple of months. But look, I'm with you on

48
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: this in terms of being torn on whether he truly

49
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: is at fault here. And here's what I mean. So

50
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: he's handed a gun and told to point it at somebody,

51
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't know there's live rounds in it. Now, all

52
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: that said, anybody will tell you, particularly in law enforcement,

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: that you don't point a gun at anyone unless you

54
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: check the gun to make sure that it doesn't have

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: any live ammunition in it. So it was his responsibility.

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: But then again, there wasn't armorer on the set to

57
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: make sure that these guns were handled properly and the

58
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: ammunition was handled properly. I guess my question is, Sean,

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: why are we using live ammunition in these situations? I'm

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: sure we could come up with some guns that look

61
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: like guns and fire nothing blanks, right, So I didn't

62
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: understand how ammunition got on that set in the first place. Well,

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean this is where this is where involuntary manslaughter

64
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: comes in. You know. I gotta tell you something as

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: somebody who's been around guns since I'm ten years old,

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, in a very different time, Carol Roth, my mom,

67
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a prison guard, had a Smith and Wesson revolver. She

68
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: put it next to her bed and it was loaded.

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Knowing she had a curious, you know son in the house,

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: they made it their business at a very early age

71
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: to teach me gun safety and took me down of

72
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: the range when I was that young, and literally I

73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: went and I got a lesson in safety, and I

74
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: remember it was the gun was pointed down range as

75
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: it should be, all the other safety measures. The guy says,

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: do you understand everything I've just taught you about safety?

77
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I said, yes, sir, and I thought I was going

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: to be able to shoot the gun. And he said, good,

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: when you come back next week, if you remember everything

80
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: I told you, I'll let you shoot the gun for

81
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: the first time. And I had to come back the

82
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: next week. But from that point forward, I had. You know,

83
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: safety was drilled into my head on day one and

84
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: it never left me. Yeah, I mean, I love the

85
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: fact that I'm joining you in compassion but also being

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: very serious exactly what you said, Sean about the safety

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: aspect for people who like to talk about how dangerous

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: guns are and how we need to do all of

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: these things to remove guns because it's so serious. The

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: lack of seriousness that they showed when guns were in

91
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: their possession, it just shows the utter hypocrisy here. And

92
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: it's so unfortunate because obviously somebody lost their life, several

93
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: other people's lives that are now going to be disrupted

94
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: and bear the burden of the life that was lost.

95
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: And as you said, you know there are kids that

96
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: are taught guns safety things about not putting your your

97
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: finger on the trigger. Alec Baldman said that he didn't,

98
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: but we all know how guns work. You know, unless

99
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: you had your fingernecks to trigger, that gun's not going off. So,

100
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the key here is that

101
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to have the guns on set, and

102
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: I agree with Joe at Hollywood, you should be able

103
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: to have some sort of a clear replica. You have

104
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: to treat it with the utmost of respect of responsibility,

105
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and I guess their lack of understanding of guns has led,

106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: unfortunately to this tragedy. I mean, sad. Let's talk about

107
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: what the punishment should be in the case of the

108
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: involuntary manslaughter, could be eighteen months in jail. Do you

109
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: think where that this is where this is headed? Joe Conscha, Well,

110
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: you know when we cut through all the noise and

111
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: everything is still that the mother of a six year

112
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: old boy is dead, right and the mother of a

113
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: loving husband, and there needs to be some kind of

114
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: accountability around this. But I think Alec Baldman, really from

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: a pr perspective Sean has not handled this well at all, because,

116
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: as you said, he's an egomaniac and he thinks he

117
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: could basically talk and bully his way out of anything.

118
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: And he decided that it was a good idea, and

119
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: I am certain that his lawyers didn't think this was

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: a good idea to go to his friend George Stepanopolis

121
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: over at ABC. This is about a year ago, and

122
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: the quote that stands out from that interview is that

123
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: he said, I did not pull the trigger. Well, it

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: sure looks like you pulled the trig because no one

125
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: else could have. So now that's in the public domains

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: that could be used against him in this case. His

127
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: claim that he didn't pull the trigger, well, that goes

128
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: to credibility. Well, of course you did, sir. So I

129
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: think he probably does get charged. The question is does

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: he get the full eighteen months in prison? And what

131
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: is prison? Is at home arrest? Is it some sort

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: of country club kind of prison. It's not like he's

133
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: going to go to Shawshank or anything I would imagine.

134
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: So I think he gets charged, but I don't think

135
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be the punishment will be all that

136
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: difficult to fulfill. Let me ask you both this question,

137
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: because they also face an enhancement for use of a

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: firearm that itself carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years.

139
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Is that something that you think will be brought up? Carol,

140
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I'd say from my perspective, and Sean, I'm certainly not

141
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: a lawyer and don't even play one on the radio.

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: But I think given the high profile nature of this,

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip. It depends do they want to

144
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: make an example out of him you kind of like

145
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: they did with Martha Stewart and her obstruction of justice

146
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: claim that center away related to insider trading charges or

147
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: is it the opposite where, Oh, it's a celebrity and

148
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, they're probably not going to do this again,

149
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: so we're going to go lights and you know, not

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: set the example. And I think it just really depends

151
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: on the tenor of the people in the room, and

152
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: it's going to go one way or the other now. Previously,

153
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin spoke out after reaching a settlement with the

154
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: family of Helena Hutchins and he and the Rust producers.

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: They reached the settlement the deal which I believe got

156
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: court approval. Anyway, according to the terms, the production of

157
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: the film was supposed to resume as of I guess

158
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: last January with the movie's original director and the Wrongful

159
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: Dead lawsuit filed in February against the producers and Baldwin

160
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: and crew members. They apparently had an out of court settlement.

161
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: What we've reached the settlement subject to court approval as

162
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: it relates to the death the wrongful death case against

163
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the producers including Alec Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions LLC.

164
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: As part of the settlement, the case was to be dismissed,

165
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: meaning the civil case, so that part of the the

166
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: the legal aspect is gone, done and gone. But I

167
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: don't think that impacts the legal case. We'll give you

168
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: the last word. Joe conscient. Oh sure. I just can't

169
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: believe that after a woman, a producer, was killed on

170
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: the set by the lead actor, that they were actually

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and resume filming on this, right,

172
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: How could you, in any good conscience go ahead and say,

173
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: all right, well we lost someone, but you know, let's

174
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: let's wrap this thing. I just think the optics on

175
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: that just looks so poor. Just why why isn't I

176
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: don't why, why, Carol do I not? I can't stand

177
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: the guy. He's an arrogant, pompous, elitist jackass, and I

178
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: just can't wish ill on anybody. I don't know why.

179
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, says he. Because you're a good

180
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: person and you have compassion, and when you're somebody who's

181
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: not in our assistic egomaniac, that is how we look

182
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: towards other people. This was something certainly that wasn't done

183
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: with malice. It was an accident. It was a horrible,

184
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: negligent accident, but you're showing that compassion and I think

185
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: that's what people like about you. Well, you're very kind

186
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to say so. There are a lot of people that

187
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: don't like me too. Anyway, We appreciate your insight, both

188
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: of you. Carol Roth, great to have you back, and

189
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: as always, Joe Consta, thank you for being with us. Thanks, thanks,

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: sud all right, quick break, we'll come right back. Linda

191
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: has been staring at me with daggers. I don't think

192
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: she likes that. I'm not gleeful over this charge on

193
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin. We'll get to that when we come back.

194
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Your calls also in the next half hour eight hundred

195
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: nine four one sean, if you want to be a

196
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: part of the program and the other news of the day,

197
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: and later on we'll talk about this insanity at Davos

198
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: and the hypocrisy and globalism in general and the real

199
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: agenda of socialism eight hundred nine four one sewn if

200
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: you want to join us as we continue. All right, Linda,

201
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: you have been looking at me with nothing but score

202
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: in this entire interview. Why you think I should be

203
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: more hostile towards him? Do you really believe and it's

204
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: involuntary manslaughter. I don't believe that Alec Baldwin, jackass that

205
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: he is went to work that day thinking, oh, I'm

206
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: going to shoot an innocent person on the set. So

207
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: hence the involuntary manslaughter and the responsibility of everybody, including him.

208
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: I think he was the head of production of everybody

209
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: that this is something like this can happen and they

210
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: should have have systems and check some balances in place

211
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: to prevent such tragedies. Yeah, I mean it's tough, you know,

212
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin is just we if we segregate personal feelings,

213
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: which is very hard as human beings to do, and

214
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: just look at the facts of the case, then yeah,

215
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: sure I could see how this is manslaughter or this

216
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: is you know, not him deliberately going out maliciously getting

217
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: up in the more. It's not, you know, a contemplated

218
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: murder by any stretch. Right. However, having said that, I'm

219
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: curious how the average Joe would fare in that same situation.

220
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's a movie set. Nobody on that

221
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: set is the average Joe, right. They all have means,

222
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: They're all probably well known in their circuit and have

223
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: access to really great lawyers, and all the things. Alec Baldman,

224
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: being the most premier and well known on the set,

225
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: having said, Oh, I don't think it helps the husband.

226
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it helps the sun. I don't think

227
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: it helps the family. And he, you know, Joe made

228
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: a really good point. He's just been so callous about it,

229
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: making it like about him and that I'm the victim

230
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: and crying and doing those weird YouTube you know videos

231
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: where he's like in that hotel room and then he's

232
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: talking to George synopolisis interview. It was almost like he

233
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: prepared with his lawyers and it was an acting role

234
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: for him. That's how I interpreted that, And everything he

235
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: said was preplanned. I felt, yeah, And he's an actor,

236
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: so he does it very well. You know, it's very

237
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to say, like, are you acting right now?

238
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Is this you pretending? Like I've seen you as an actor?

239
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: You're pretty good? Actually, I don't know. I mean, just

240
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: because you're a narcissistic jackass like he is, and he is,

241
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you don't have some human compassion.

242
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Here was some of it real, sure, But when he

243
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: said I never pulled the trigger, what do you mean

244
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,479
Speaker 1: you didn't pull the trigger. It didn't go off by itself.

245
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: It went off, it was in your hands. You didn't

246
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: check if George Clooney was actually pretty hard on them

247
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: and said, I always check myself to make sure that

248
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: it's a blank, it's not a real bullet in the gun.

249
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: But how weird is that? I mean, you know, the

250
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: armorers being pulled in as well. I do think there

251
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: is something very strange about the fact that this guy

252
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: had real bullets in his gun. Why why, I mean,

253
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: we're this twenty two, twenty twenty three. We have all

254
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: the special effects, sound effects, I mean, the things that

255
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: we can do, and the things we can do in

256
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: front of green screens, the sounds we can make with

257
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: all the technology that we have even in radio and TV.

258
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean it is bar none. We can do tons

259
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. Why did they need real ammunition? And if

260
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: they didn't know who snuck it on? And why? Yeah,

261
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: you would never ever. Now, there were other issues involving

262
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: safety that had been brought up previously on the set

263
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: and they weren't addressed. Now that's negligence on their part.

264
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: They bear responsibility for that. But I also think you know,

265
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: you're pointing out all these wonderful things about training, about

266
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: being safe, about you know, biometric safes, thumb prints, you know,

267
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: you know if they have special locks, all the things

268
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: that we can do to be safe. If we look

269
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: at all of the shootings that have happened just in

270
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: the past week, they're happening with illegal weapons. They're happening

271
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: in the hands of carton members and gang members. They're

272
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: getting in the hands of small children whose parents are

273
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: not present, not around, not watching, do not have their

274
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: guns in a proper place. You know, in the nineteen

275
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: twenties and the nineteen thirties, we had kids who worked

276
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: on the farms with their families all day, did school work.

277
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: When they were done with their work, went back to

278
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: work on the farms, trained on their firearms, and they

279
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: were practiced in the use of a firearm as young

280
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: as some as seven and eight. What has changed. They

281
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: didn't turn into serial killers. What has changed. Two things changed.

282
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: The type of media that we feed our children, the

283
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: exposure that they have to it, the lack of awareness

284
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: that parents have because they're totally checked out and they're

285
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: on their cell phone all damn day and they're not

286
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: paying attention to their kids. And the fact sorry, that's

287
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: definitely caused cold. But then you know, we have awesome things,

288
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: like you know we have mantas on our show. Hang on,

289
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: we have awesome, We have awesome. How do you say awesome?

290
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Why were you? People say it? Awesome? Is how I

291
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: say it. It's not awesome. It'd be called awesome. Seaw

292
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: just got more behind the scenes information, more contacts than anybody,

293
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: more friends behind the curtain. Sean Hannity is on twenty

294
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: five to the top of the hour, eight hundred ninety one.

295
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: Shawn our number. If you want to be a part

296
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: of the program, we'll get to your calls on a second.

297
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: If you believe in the sanctity of life, as I

298
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: know many of you do, you know that abortions continue

299
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: now at an alarming rate. By the way, the abortion

300
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: pill now is counting for over fifty percent of all abortions,

301
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: and those numbers are expected to rise. Is an organization.

302
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: They get no government money at all. One hundred percent

303
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: of your donation goes to saving babies. And what they're

304
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: doing is they are using the science of ultrasound and

305
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: giving free ultrasounds. Maybe people have unplanned pregnancies, whatever it

306
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: happens to be and anyway. So the name of the

307
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: organization is called Preborn Right, and they have clinics around

308
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: the country and they offer absolutely free ultrasounds to mothers

309
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: that might be considering abortion. Now, ultrasounds are not like

310
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: when my kids were born, what respectively, twenty four twenty

311
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: one years ago. I mean they got four d You

312
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: see the fingers, you see the toes, you see the arms,

313
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: the legs, the face, the features, and you hear the heartbeat.

314
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: And once people see that ultrasound there twice is likely

315
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: to choose life. And the great thing about Preborn is

316
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: they don't stop there. They continue. They offer counseling, they

Speaker 1: book The Roadless Travel tells us. But we work our

338
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: way through it, don't we. That's that's correct, that's correct, Sean.

339
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your opinion on I know

340
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: I heard you three four years ago talking about Hillary

341
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Clinton and what all she had done, and that situation

342
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: just kind of bogged down and went away. How do

343
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: you see the Biden situation as comparing it to a

344
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: Hillary situation? Do you see a better outcome in getting

345
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: to the bottom of all this? I think this is

346
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: the single biggest most often asked question I'm getting of late. Um.

347
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the top secret classified documents that

348
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: are going to be the undoing of Biden. I think,

349
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: especially after the raid with Donald Trump, the double standard

350
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: in terms of the Justice Department wouldn't even send FBI

351
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: agents to be involved in the search. I think I

352
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: think that then washes out, that it becomes a wash. Now,

353
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: the far more egregious example, you're right, was Hillary Clinton,

354
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: because on top of she had way more top secret

355
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: classified information on her servers than Joe and Donald Trump combined.

356
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: And that doesn't include the thirty three thousand emails that

357
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: she washed clean with bleach bit on her servers, and

358
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: the hammers that were used to destroy devices that might

359
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: have those those emails and the simcards removed. But here's

360
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: where I think Joe's biggest vulnerability is it's money. Joe

361
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: Biden was unequivocal. I never once spoke to my son

362
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: Hunter or any other family member about their Farign business dealings.

363
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: We now know there's no ambiguity here. He lied. We

364
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: have photographic evidence Joe Biden with his son Hunter and

365
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: his Farign business partners we've heard from Tony Bob o Lynsky.

366
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: We know who the big guy is. We have specific

367
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: meetings that we know Joe attended with Hunter and his

368
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: farign business partners. So I think the issue for Joe

369
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: and the undoing of Joe is going to be about money.

370
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: And I think now with these investigations, and I kept

371
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: telling people people were upset while the election didn't go

372
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: the way we wanted. I'm like, don't underestimate the win

373
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: of the House. It matters so much more than you think.

374
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: And I said, we should be very happy about that victory.

375
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Now we should learn how to do elections better. You know,

376
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Democrats do elections by ballots, early voting, and voting by mail.

377
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Republicans have got to adopt what the Democrats are doing,

378
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: duplicate it, and do it better. But put that aside

379
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: for now. But these investigations are real, and I think

380
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's greatest vulnerability, his Achilles heel, if you will,

381
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: is going to be the money and the lying and

382
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: the evidence that he lied to the country is going

383
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: to be overwhelming and incontrovertible. That's my best guess of

384
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: where this is headed. And I don't think there's going

385
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: to be an easy excuse out, no matter how much

386
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: they try to smear anybody that talks about it. I

387
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: also have to wonder how what would happen if a

388
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: common guilot mean, didn't disclose six hundred thousand dollars worths

389
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: of income on my income tax. Well, I mean, if

390
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: you get in fifty thousand dollars a month in rent

391
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: for a room for your son in your own house

392
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: in Delaware. Now, I've seen rents way higher than that

393
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: down in Palm Beach and Malibu Beach, and you know,

394
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: very very expensive areas in the country. Delaware is not

395
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: one of them. That is an extraordinarily high number. And then,

396
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: of course the Laptop from Hell implicates Joe or Hunter

397
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: implicates Joe. You know, I'm tired of pay and have

398
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: my income to Pops. I'm tired of paying for pops repairs.

399
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, the big guy gets his you know cut,

400
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: we got to put money aside for him. That's all

401
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: about the money, and I think that's where the vulnerability

402
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: comes in and the staggering amount. Just look at China alone,

403
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: a five million dollar no interest forgivable loan. What does

404
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: that sound like to you? Would you take those terms.

405
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to offer you an interest free, forgivable five

406
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: million dollar loan. Would you take that? I would ask

407
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: what the catch is exactly? But there's no catch. That's

408
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: the problem. A forgivable loan means you don't have to

409
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: give it back, or one hundred thousand dollars shoppings free.

410
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Would you like me to take you and your family

411
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: on one hundred thousand dollars shopping spree? Absolutely? Now, if

412
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: the Bank of China, I assume you probably, I don't

413
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: know if you have any experience, you have any experience

414
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: in financial issues or oh, I don't know in investment.

415
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, why would the Bank of China do business

416
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden, a crack addict at the time, to

417
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 1: the tune of one point five billion exactly? You know,

418
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: it's so that these are massive amounts of money, and

419
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there are any good answers. Now, I

420
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: do know the Bidens have hired very very good lawyers.

421
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: I just happen to know who they hired. And so

422
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: this is not a slam dunk. Are they going to

423
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: fight back with every you know, every dirty trick they

424
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: can think of. They've been planning this fight for a

425
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: long time, anticipating Republicans would win the House and have

426
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: these investigations. So let's see, Ricky. I mean, that's the

427
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: bottom line. Quick break right back to our phones. Eight

428
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: hundred nine four one, Sean, if you want to be

429
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: a part of the program, now, let's get back to

430
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: our phones. Greg is in North Carolina. What's up, Greg?

431
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: How are you? Oh, I'm doing great. How are you?

432
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. What's happening well? Thinking about the Biden

433
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: classified documents story, the thing that sticks out for me

434
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: is how unusually cooperative his staff are being. I mean,

435
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: it's correct me if I'm wrong, but some of these

436
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: documents were actually found by his aids, his staffers, and

437
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: they're turning them over, you know, wanting to be so cooperative.

438
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: And what it makes me wonder is, you know, do

439
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: you think that it's possible that there will be an

440
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: investigation that the Democrats fully cooperate with it finds out

441
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: it concludes that Joe Biden would say careless with classified material.

442
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: And then the result of that is there's some bipartisan

443
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: legislation that says anyone who has mishandled classified information cannot

444
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: be eligible for the president see and then of course

445
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: this is something they've already made, this claim about Donald Trump.

446
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden bows out and he says, hey, if I

447
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: had run again, I would have won. I would have

448
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: had a great second term. But I'm a law abiding

449
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: citizen and I'll follow this new role. Meanwhile, they've got

450
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: something that can prevent Donald Trump from running again. What

451
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: do you think? There's nothing that devious that would shock me,

452
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: that is not that is not beyond the realm of

453
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: possibility in my mind. The only problem is they would

454
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: have to have House Republicans go along with it. Now,

455
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: that wouldn't happen, but I will. But I will say this,

456
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's very suspicious to me. I have no

457
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: reason except that I've only done this since nineteen eighty

458
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: seven on the radio, and I think I have a

459
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: pretty good gut and feel for you know, bs when

460
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: I smell it and see it. And the fact that

461
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: this all happened in succession the way it did, first

462
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the Penn Biden Center in the garage, then the room

463
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: and the house, then the other house, it just is

464
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: too coincidental for me, and it just it reeks of

465
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: Democrats not wanting him to run. I have no evidence

466
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: at all to prove that. I want to be very clear,

467
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: but it's a thought in the back of my head,

468
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: why is this all coming up now? I don't have

469
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: a good answer for it. And when I don't have

470
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: a good answer, I often get suspicious, and usually my

471
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: gut my suspicions turn out to be right. But I

472
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: have no evidence to prove that. Well, as far as

473
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, bipartisan support for such a thing. You know,

474
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: remember there were quite a few Republicans that voted for

475
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be impeached, and there are quite a

476
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: few Republicans that maybe they were never really wanting an

477
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: outsider to come in and drain the swamp. You know,

478
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: there's corruption on both sides, and I wouldn't be surprised

479
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: if they got a little support for something that would

480
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: That's a good point too. Listen the effort to keep

481
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Now. It's odd because on the one hand,

482
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: if you listen to Democrats, liberals, the media, they think

483
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is completely unelectable. My answer to that is,

484
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: I would never underestimate Donald Trump. Now. I do think

485
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: it's hard for any Republican to win the presidency, and

486
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: it's getting harder because I don't know if you've heard

487
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: me talk about what I call accelerated migration, and all

488
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: these conservatives leaving Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois, not that Illinois matters,

489
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: but Michigan. It's getting hard for Republicans to get to

490
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: two seventy harder and harder every day, regardless of who

491
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the candidate is. But they say is the weakest, But

492
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: yet they want to do everything in their power to

493
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: just ensure that he doesn't run. If he thought he

494
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: was the weakest, why wouldn't you want him to run?

495
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe they think he's the weakest. I

496
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: think when the choice, if the choice were Trump versus Biden,

497
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: it would be another nail biding close election. And frankly,

498
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, if I look at if it's another Republican,

499
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: you know I'm not I don't want to get into

500
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. It's too early. But any Republican that

501
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: runs is going to be slandered and smeared and attacked,

502
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: and you know it's going to be a never ending

503
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: assault by the media. And it's going to be Republicans

504
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: one dirty year and water and they're racist and xenophobic

505
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: and you know, the same crap we get every election,

506
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: So I think it's hard. I'm remember I was. There

507
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: were a lot of people that were making all these

508
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: predictions in the lead up to twenty twenty two. I

509
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: was not one of them. I don't know if you

510
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: were listening to the show. I was warning people every

511
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: day manager expectations here. And for two reasons. There are

512
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: way more people than we imagine that actually buy into

513
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: this socialist b s more than you think. Number one.

514
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Number two, I'm telling you between Democrats run elections very

515
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: differently than the way Republicans do. Republicans think kissing babies,

516
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: do impressivels, doing town halls, doing rallies, having better positions,

517
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: convincing people that they'd be a better representative is the

518
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: way to run. But it's not. Democrats can hide in

519
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: their basement, avoid debating, or only debate at the last

520
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: minute after a lot of voting has taken place, and

521
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: then they are in the ballot business. They're in the

522
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: ballot business and the negative ad business. And most states

523
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: allow a version. Forty nine states allow a version of

524
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: ballot harvesting. Sixteen states do not require any idea at all.

525
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: We've got to fix us, and we don't fix it

526
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: this year. I'm very worried about twenty twenty four. I'm

527
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: going to start bringing on governors to ask them to

528
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: get their laws in place. You're one hund percent right,

529
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: and unless we focus on in our opinion, unless we

530
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: focus you know, there's always been debate, and there's always

531
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: been a right and a left. But what we've got now, Sean,

532
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: I believe, is corruption. And unless we get that out,

533
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: and because corruption hurts the foundation of the system, the

534
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: system will take care of the debate itself. As long

535
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: as you've got legitimate elections. Well, the problem is what

536
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: the law is, you know, put aside any improprieties that

537
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: take place. And I believe, like the Democrats in twenty

538
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: twenty they use COVID like most states have laws. Let's

539
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: say partisan observers get to watch the vote counting. That

540
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: didn't happen in any state. Now accommodations for partisan observers

541
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: to watch the vote counting not a thousand feet away,

542
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: one hundred feet away, twenty feet away, but up close,

543
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: start to finish. If that's the law, you need to

544
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: follow the law. And I kept repeating this or election

545
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: observers that were signing affidavits saying that they saw things

546
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: that were not that they believe violated the law. Nobody

547
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: wanted to hear from those whistleblowers, or state constitutions like

548
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, you know, overridden by by a legislature, but

549
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: that by it's constitutionally not sound for them to do that. So,

550
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a lot of work to do.

551
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to spend more time on this election issue

552
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: and what Republicans need to do, but I will tell

553
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: you this, Republicans need to change how they approach elections

554
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: moving forward, starting in twenty twenty four, or else they

555
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: won't have a chance. They won't have a chance. Democrats

556
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: they are at you know, in terms of ballot harvesting,

557
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: they're at a level one hundred times better than Republicans legally.

558
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying on that side, let
