Speaker 1: Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 1: Shawn is on number if you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. Former House Speaker KNW. King Rich,
Speaker 1: you know, blaming obviously the ongoing shutdown, the radicals have
Speaker 1: taken over the Democratic Party and blaming Schumer and said
Speaker 1: Schumer saw this as an opportunity to hold the entire
Speaker 1: country hostage to prove that Democrats could get a supposed win.
Speaker 1: This has been Schumer his position on government shutdowns the
Speaker 1: entire time he's been in the US Senate. This is
Speaker 1: critical to understanding, you know, how dominant the mom Donnie
Speaker 1: aoc Wing, Jasmine Crockett squad wing is and how powerful
Speaker 1: they are that Schumer is leader in name only like
Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffrey's leader in name only.
Speaker 2: Listen, what if I persuaded my call is to say
Speaker 2: I'm going to shut the government down. I am going
Speaker 2: to not pay our bills unless I.
Speaker 3: Get my way.
Speaker 2: It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. It's
Speaker 2: sort of like this, someone goes into your house, takes
Speaker 2: your wife and children hostage, and then says, let's negotiate
Speaker 2: over the price of your house. You know, we could
Speaker 2: do the same thing on immigration. We could we believe
Speaker 2: strongly in immigration reform. We could say we're shutting down
Speaker 2: the government. We're not going to raise the debt ceiling
Speaker 2: until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental chaos.
Speaker 2: Speaker McCarthy needs to stop letting the MAGA radicals drive
Speaker 2: his decisions and do the obvious and sensible thing, follow
Speaker 2: the Senate's lead and pass a bipartisan cr to prevent
Speaker 2: this reckless shutdown. We do not want to let a
Speaker 2: Trump temper tantrum govern our policies or cause the shutdown
Speaker 2: of a government which everyone on both sides of the
Speaker 2: aisles knows is the wrong idea.
Speaker 1: All right, So that's been his history until now. Now
Speaker 1: it's fascinating to watch this unfold because Democrats are at
Speaker 1: each other's throat, because now you have, you know, enough
Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate to open up the government. We
Speaker 1: see what's happening with their traffic controllers with snap benefits,
Speaker 1: forty two million Americans impacted by that. Hakim Jeffrey's, when
Speaker 1: pressed on supporting a bill that would include Obamacare subsidies,
Speaker 1: says that they're not prepared to support a promise from folks.
Speaker 1: This is their healthcare bill. It's called Obamacare. They're the
Speaker 1: ones that shoved it down our nation's throat, and John
Speaker 1: McCain then, unfortunately had the opportunity to get rid of it,
Speaker 1: and his animist towards Donald Trump got in the way.
Speaker 1: Listen to Hakeem another Leader in name only, Leader Jeffery
Speaker 1: is just very quickly yes or no? Do you rule
Speaker 1: out supporting a bill that would include a promise to
Speaker 1: vote on Obamacare subsidies?
Speaker 3: Yes or no.
Speaker 4: I don't think that. I don't think that the House
Speaker 4: Democratic Caucus is prepared to support a promise, a wing,
Speaker 4: and a prayer from folks who have been devastating the
Speaker 4: healthcare of the American people for years.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that passed the bill. I kept warning
Speaker 1: at the time Obamacare would be a disaster. You know,
Speaker 1: millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans. Forty plus
Speaker 1: percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option. And
Speaker 1: you know the big promise, the average family will save
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars per family per year. Every family's
Speaker 1: paying over three hundred percent more. Here's Achem Jeffries again,
Speaker 1: Leader in name Only, No matter what legislation comes from
Speaker 1: the Senate, they're voting no, doesn't matter what they pass.
Speaker 4: And far too many people are struggling to live paycheck
Speaker 4: to paycheck. They can't thrive, they can barely survive. And
Speaker 4: that's why Democrats have been waging this fight, and we'll
Speaker 4: continue to wage this fight no matter what comes over
Speaker 4: to us from the United States Senate to the House
Speaker 4: of Representatives at some point this week. And so as
Speaker 4: House Democrats, we know we're on the right side of
Speaker 4: this fight, the right side of the American people, and
Speaker 4: we're not going to support partisan Republican spending bill that
Speaker 4: continues to gut the healthcare of the American people. And
Speaker 4: we're going to continue the fight to extend the Affordable
Speaker 4: Care Act tax credits.
Speaker 1: Now, remember they're looking to extend health benefits that were
Speaker 1: designed to be temporary for COVID for people eight hundred
Speaker 1: percent above the poverty line. Okay, that is unsustainable. They're
Speaker 1: demanding to keep the government open seven weeks, one and
Speaker 1: a half trillion dollars, including health care for illegal immigrants,
Speaker 1: including funding MPR and PBS, including DEI programs abroad. That's
Speaker 1: all been part of their spending plan. The problem they
Speaker 1: have is the party has been radicalized. Even Tim Kaine,
Speaker 1: you know, who represents Virginia and all the DC employees
Speaker 1: in his state that have been laid off. He voted
Speaker 1: in the shutdown because it's not working any way. Joining
Speaker 1: us now, Senator Mark Wayne mull and our friend from Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: Senator how.
Speaker 5: Are you, Sean? I'm doing good. How are you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm good?
Speaker 1: Ten days in the Senate, but at least finally you
Speaker 1: make the progress. You know, I've never been a big
Speaker 1: believer that government shutdowns matter much until we get but
Speaker 1: we've never had one goal this long and it be
Speaker 1: this impactful to so many Americans at once.
Speaker 3: This is getting bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right today, we're going to have more cancellations on
Speaker 5: flights than anytime in the American history other than nine
Speaker 5: to eleven. And it's all because of the shutdown that
Speaker 5: we find ourselves in. And now the Democrats and by
Speaker 5: the way, the Democrats didn't get anything to reopen the government.
Speaker 5: Leader Thune offered them a ACA vote, but couldn't guarantee
Speaker 5: which ACA affordable healthcare, which is completely unaffordable. They he
Speaker 5: offered that back October sixteenth. We have been shut down
Speaker 5: for weeks because for their own personal leverage. The whole
Speaker 5: plan was to get it past on November election so
Speaker 5: they could vote for their communist mayor in New York.
Speaker 5: But the truth is they're out there now spending it.
Speaker 5: And Sean, you were alluding this just a second ago.
Speaker 5: They're out there right now spending saying it's all about
Speaker 5: health care. It's about the Republican Party is to blame
Speaker 5: for having unaffordable health care. And you remember President Obama
Speaker 5: said that our premiums were going to go down by
Speaker 5: twenty five percent. Today we stand at two hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty one percent increase. And even if we were to
Speaker 5: extend the premium tax that the Democrats voted for unanimously
Speaker 5: back in twenty one, they made it design to expire.
Speaker 5: Even if we did extend it, your premiums would still
Speaker 5: go up eleven to twelve percent. So it's not affordable.
Speaker 5: It's not working. And I think President Trump was absolutely
Speaker 5: brilliant when he said, hey, instead of giving the premium
Speaker 5: tax to the insurance companies, how out we give it
Speaker 5: straight to the American people and let them use it
Speaker 5: to buy the insurers plan they want. I thought that
Speaker 5: was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: The President said that, I mean, there's so many innovative,
Speaker 1: creative ways to redesign healthcare, and maybe this will become
Speaker 1: part of the debate, you know, post you know, the
Speaker 1: reopening of the government, and you know that would include
Speaker 1: healthcare cooperatives, healthcare savings accounts. You know, we really we
Speaker 1: have great innovation in healthcare. I've had on this program
Speaker 1: many times. Doctor Josh Umber, he's at a Wichita, Kansas.
Speaker 1: You know, he had a healthcare cooperative, twenty four hour
Speaker 1: access to doctors that would take care of most things,
Speaker 1: including you'd get he would negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies
Speaker 1: at a ninety plus percent discount and fifty bucks a
Speaker 1: month for adults, ten dollars a month for children. It
Speaker 1: includes telemedicine a lot of times you don't need to
Speaker 1: go to a doctor or an emergency room. A lot
Speaker 1: can be done with modern technology and FaceTime for crying
Speaker 1: out loud, and you know, all of these things save
Speaker 1: money ultimately. But you know, people funneled into a government
Speaker 1: system where promises were made and none of them were kept.
Speaker 1: Is has not worked, and they're kind of trying to
Speaker 1: die on this hill of turning something that they designed
Speaker 1: to be temporary into something permanent.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's absurd that they're trying to turn
Speaker 5: the healthcare crisis against on the Republican's fault. But keep
Speaker 5: in mind, you had a community organizer, the one that
Speaker 5: came up with this healthcare plan and Nancy Plosi who said,
Speaker 5: if you want to know what's in it, pass it,
Speaker 5: then you can read it. If we want to fix
Speaker 5: a healthcare system, you can't fix this. You can't fix
Speaker 5: affordable health care. That's like trying to fix a bone motor.
Speaker 5: You got to rebuild a bone motor. In this Fickler case,
Speaker 5: you need President Trump. He's a business guy. He knows
Speaker 5: how to make business successful. He will bring in the
Speaker 5: brightest minds, the best minds together and negotiate a deal
Speaker 5: that will actually get American healthcare working for the American
Speaker 5: peace people, not working for consolidation and large insurance companies.
Speaker 5: And listen, I'm not against companies being profitable. I'm a capitalist.
Speaker 5: I believe in companies being profitable they hire employees. But
Speaker 5: there's no reason why we would continue to subsidize insurance
Speaker 5: companies that are making record profits right now. The reason
Speaker 5: why We had the Democrats passive premium tax program last
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one during COVID was because the insurance
Speaker 5: companies said they were going to go broke because of
Speaker 5: the high expensive cost. Now even if you did away
Speaker 5: with that, they would still be making around fifteen percent
Speaker 5: profit even if you took out their premium tax, So
Speaker 5: we don't need to be subsidizing them anymore. What we
Speaker 5: need to be doing is looking at why is self
Speaker 5: care costs continuously and going through the roof. Why not
Speaker 5: take a deep dive look underneath the hood and say,
Speaker 5: let's scrap this program altogether and build a program back
Speaker 5: by getting a Marcus working and allowing people to have choice,
Speaker 5: choice in their market and what fits them best, rather
Speaker 5: than requiring all programs to have maternity care. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's absurd with the regulations they put on it because
Speaker 5: of a community organizer trying to fix our healthcare system.
Speaker 1: Well I said in the beginning, and remember that there
Speaker 1: was a mandate associated with us where everybody was ultimately
Speaker 1: going to be funneled into a government system.
Speaker 3: This was really.
Speaker 1: Their big step towards universal healthcare or a single payer system,
Speaker 1: which is what I think they ultimately wanted, and I
Speaker 1: think what they ultimately want now looks like they're progressing
Speaker 1: towards reopening the government, which means if they would expedite
Speaker 1: it in the Senate, then the House could open the
Speaker 1: government as early as Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Have you spoken to these senators?
Speaker 1: Are they going to stand firm now at this point
Speaker 1: that they took this test vote last night?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had thirteen Democrat senators had agreed to vote
Speaker 5: with us last week as long as they could get
Speaker 5: past the two day election. That was their whole plan
Speaker 5: they had. They said that Chuck Schumer this is a quote,
Speaker 5: would take off the handcuffs and allow themselves plus Dick
Speaker 5: Durbin to vote for it. After the Tuesday election, they
Speaker 5: came out with just ridiculous demands, I mean sewn. They
Speaker 5: came in and they wanted the President to rescind all
Speaker 5: pocket decisions and guarantee he wouldn't do it for another year.
Speaker 5: He wanted the President to reinstate the security clearances from
Speaker 5: all those that he has tripped the security clearances from.
Speaker 5: They wanted a guarantee that the guarantee outcome on the
Speaker 5: ACA vote and that the House would pick it up.
Speaker 5: I mean just ridiculous stuff. We told him a go
Speaker 5: pound sand and it literally took user point three seconds
Speaker 5: to reject their offer. And then because of the mounting
Speaker 5: pressure of their body of their especially with Tim Kaine
Speaker 5: with a three hundred and fifty thousand federal employees he
Speaker 5: has in Virginia, the mounting pressure finally came back. And
Speaker 5: what we settled on is, well, we give you an
Speaker 5: ACA vote. That's it. And so we know that these
Speaker 5: eight that's already walked the plank, they're going to stay strong.
Speaker 5: The question is the other five that said they were
Speaker 5: going to vote with us, are they going to have
Speaker 5: the backbone to actually do what's right for the American
Speaker 5: people rather than continue using the American people as hossage
Speaker 5: and leverage points.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're in the room, you're in the clok groom,
Speaker 1: you're on the sun of floor.
Speaker 3: What are you hearing?
Speaker 5: Well, technically, if this thing, if they run out every hour,
Speaker 5: they could run this thing all the way to Friday
Speaker 5: evening because of the amendment boats they could have on it.
Speaker 5: If they just run out the debate time, it would
Speaker 5: be Wednesday. Because remember right now we're on the motion
Speaker 5: to proceed. So the Motion proceed comes with a thirty
Speaker 5: hour debate time. Once we end with the motion proceed,
Speaker 5: we got to mend the House clean CR because we're
Speaker 5: going to replace all. Instead of having twelve continued resolution
Speaker 5: of funding bills, we're going to have nine and then
Speaker 5: three funding bills. It's going to be at present Trump levels,
Speaker 5: which means this ag mil coon which is military and alledge.
Speaker 5: And then we got to change the date, so we
Speaker 5: got to change the House version. Once we do that,
Speaker 5: it opens another thirty hour debate and that since we're
Speaker 5: open it to mend, it can be amended. Right now,
Speaker 5: we have a problem with Ran Paul you know, or
Speaker 5: Senator from Kentucky. I to take a deep breath there.
Speaker 5: He is demanding a HEMP vote on this because he
Speaker 5: wants to up the THHD levels and HEMP, which could
Speaker 5: really draw the process out. If he does that, then
Speaker 5: we could see this thing could roll out all the
Speaker 5: way to Friday. We're trying to push back if he
Speaker 5: demands to have to have this amendment vote. I have
Speaker 5: said no. He said he will hold it up, he
Speaker 5: won't release the debate time. I don't at this point,
Speaker 5: I really don't care. Ran is on his own heel.
Speaker 5: To think he's going to hold the American people hostage
Speaker 5: like them over him is ridiculous. But we don't need
Speaker 5: his vote, so we can go around him. We haven't
Speaker 5: had his vote this sole time, so that's not important
Speaker 5: to us. But if he if he demands that, then
Speaker 5: he could drag that out a lot further. The Democrats
Speaker 5: have told us, the ones I've talked to today, they're
Speaker 5: ready to go home. They're done. They already know they
Speaker 5: lost the vote, so they went radio silent today. They're
Speaker 5: not talking to us. Least the leadership isn't. The ones
Speaker 5: I'm talking to said they're, well, they're willing to yield
Speaker 5: back to time and we'd be done today and then
Speaker 5: they'd call back the House. The House would go to
Speaker 5: on a Wednesday, and we could reopen the government.
Speaker 1: But it takes that would be a best case scenario.
Speaker 1: Too many people of suffering, Senator, and a clean cr
Speaker 1: is what Democrats always said they wanted. So, uh, Senator
Speaker 1: Mark way Mullen, Well, it's gonna be fascinating. Uh.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think this party's gone, you know, radical suicidal at
Speaker 1: this point. But if they think this is gonna you know,
Speaker 1: Americans are getting angry and they have every right to
Speaker 1: be a clean cr funding the government and current levels
Speaker 1: is exactly what Democrats always said they wanted. Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know it's when I say them Democratic Party is hijacked.
Speaker 1: You need look no further than Zoron Marxist Kami Mamdani.
Speaker 1: You know, we played remarks last week of AOC, you know,
Speaker 1: basically telling Chuck Schumer get out of the way, the
Speaker 1: old guard has to make way for the new guard,
Speaker 1: and then went straight at Hakim Jefferies telling him, you know, well,
Speaker 1: Mamdani is the future of the party. I mean that,
Speaker 1: that to me is a very critical moment. And you
Speaker 1: know the leaders of the Democratic Party now, the poster
Speaker 1: child of the Democratic Party would be you know, Zoron
Speaker 1: Mamdani and AOC.
Speaker 3: She's I've been saying for years, she's the leader. You know.
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi at the time was leader, you know, a
Speaker 1: speaker in name only.
Speaker 3: She had no power.
Speaker 1: Hakiem Jeffries now has no power, and the Senate, Chucky
Speaker 1: Schumer is done, It's over. I think Hakim Jefferies is
Speaker 1: very likely done himself. And then you have Grandpa Bernie,
Speaker 1: you know that this is his moment. He now is
Speaker 1: the dominant voice within inside the Democratic you know, the
Speaker 1: radical Democratic socialists that run this party. Here's what he said,
Speaker 1: speaking out against the deal to end the shutdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that, you know, nearly forty two million
Speaker 1: Americans and not getting food benefits that they desperately need.
Speaker 1: I thought Democrats cared about the poor. Apparently not when
Speaker 1: it matters. You know, if they want political leverage, they
Speaker 1: acknowledge people who get hurt, but we need the leverage.
Speaker 1: That's what they've kept saying openly. Now here's what he said.
Speaker 6: Yet tonight, what this Senate is about to do is
Speaker 6: make a horrific situation even worse.
Speaker 7: So let's be clear what this vote is about.
Speaker 6: If this vote succeeds, over twenty million Americans are going
Speaker 6: to see at least a doubling in their premiums in
Speaker 6: the Affordable Care Act.
Speaker 7: In my statemum minded throughout this country.
Speaker 6: For certain groups of people, it will be a tripling
Speaker 6: and a quadrupling of their premiums.
Speaker 7: And my friends, know what you are voting on.
Speaker 6: Studies are out there that when you throw fifteen million
Speaker 6: people off healthcare. Some fifty thousand of our fellow Americans
Speaker 6: will die unnecessarily every single year. Anyone think that's funny,
Speaker 6: something to laugh at something if you just go past,
Speaker 6: I don't fifty thousand Americans die unnecessarily.
Speaker 1: I mean this rhetorical insanity. You know, in the minds
Speaker 1: of Democrats, the only answer is going to be a
Speaker 1: government answer. Meanwhile, Obamacare has been proven to have failed spectacularly.
Speaker 1: You know, just like most government programs, they make these
Speaker 1: glorious promises, cradle to grave, wound to the tomb, Social
Speaker 1: Security lock box rated money spent, headed towards insolvency. How's
Speaker 1: Medicaid doing same problem, headed towards insolvency? Thirty eight trillion
Speaker 1: in debt. We're putting that on our children and grandchildren.
Speaker 1: How are your government schools doing not very well, especially
Speaker 1: in blue states and blue towns and cities around the country.
Speaker 1: How law and order and safety and security under the
Speaker 1: defund dismantled no bill reimagine the police people not very well.
Speaker 1: You know, the military is about it, and even that
Speaker 1: deteriorated when Democrats were in power. And this is what
Speaker 1: they want to convince you. You know, when millions lost
Speaker 1: their doctors plans, and you're paying three hundred percent on average,
Speaker 1: more than you were paying when you were told you'd
Speaker 1: save on average twenty five hundred dollars a year. We're
Speaker 1: now going to double down on dumb, dumber, and stupid
Speaker 1: when there are creative, free market solutions. If we'd only think,
Speaker 1: you know, telemedicine should be a part of the equation.
Speaker 1: Now moving forward, you know, artificial intelligence can can detect,
Speaker 1: you know, disease early. You know, in five years from now,
Speaker 1: your odds of living to one hundred are going to
Speaker 1: go up exponentially. Anyway, let's get to our phones. Marie
Speaker 1: is in Pennsylvania. Hey, Marie, how are you glad you called? Hi?
Speaker 8: Sean, Thanks for taking my call. I'm a longtime Sean
Speaker 8: Hannity fan, and I'm calling today about John Fetterman. So
Speaker 8: I'm a Pittsburgh area Republican. Of course I didn't vote
Speaker 8: for John, but I have been very impressed with him,
Speaker 8: and I was just curious if you have any insights
Speaker 8: as to his real influence with his colleagues in Washington
Speaker 8: this last time.
Speaker 1: He's by the way, he's on TV tonight and he
Speaker 1: is he surprised me too. And and I like doctor Roz.
Speaker 1: Doctor Oz, you know, got killed by Doug Mostriano, who
Speaker 1: you know, took a position on abortion that I think
Speaker 1: it just was out of sync with the people of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting into that issue right now. And you know,
Speaker 1: he lost like fourteen points, the largest margin to Joshapiro
Speaker 1: of for against the non incumbent governor since the nineteen forties.
Speaker 1: And Oz lost by three or three or four percent.
Speaker 1: And you know, Mastriano lost by fourteen There's only so
Speaker 1: much ticket switching that was gonna go on. But he's
Speaker 1: been a real pleasant surprise. And I will tell you
Speaker 1: haven't spoken to him privately and on the air. He's
Speaker 1: a nice guy and he's reasonable. He does not like
Speaker 1: this nazi, fascist, racist hitler Stalin Mussolini, you know, insightful
Speaker 1: and dehumanizing rhetoric. He has supported closed borders, he has
Speaker 1: supported you know, he understands radical Islamis, he understands Israel's
Speaker 1: right to defend itself. I just find him an old school,
Speaker 1: old fashioned, you know, Democrat, which is almost nonexistent today.
Speaker 1: The fact that we even got to the longest you
Speaker 1: know shutdown in history now impacting so many millions of Americans,
Speaker 1: and but for just the bare minimum, you know, we're
Speaker 1: going to get the government open. It looks like just
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know about his party.
Speaker 1: He's not been a part of that. And I tipped
Speaker 1: my hat to him, you know, But I didn't love
Speaker 1: the election results, you know, I was my expectations were
Speaker 1: not high. I think that Virginia's a blue state. I
Speaker 1: think Glenn Younkin was the outlier. I think wins Series
Speaker 1: did not run the best campaign. To be very frank,
Speaker 1: Jack Chidarelli had the problem. In the last three years,
Speaker 1: they lost, you know, a quarter of a million people
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. He got one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: more votes and they got the last time and still lost.
Speaker 1: And you know, this migration is impacting a lot of
Speaker 1: states like New York, New Jersey and California and Illinois.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on here and the country
Speaker 1: is divided, and he's just not going to be part
Speaker 1: of that cancer. And I applaud him for I'm not
Speaker 1: going crazy, you know, streaming nazi, fascist, racist because you know,
Speaker 1: because the worst I affectionately called zoron, you know, you
Speaker 1: know Marxistkami Mamnani, but you know he is a comedy.
Speaker 1: I mean he is, that's his positions.
Speaker 8: Do you think Setterment's really making a difference with his colleagues?
Speaker 8: Are there more like him that are just afraid to
Speaker 8: speak up? Do you think that there'll be a turn
Speaker 8: from some others to join him in his perspective?
Speaker 1: If I'm right in my prediction that Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: laid the foundation for economic success that will be historic.
Speaker 1: And Reagan needed over a year for his his tax
Speaker 1: plan to take effect and before we really felt the
Speaker 1: impact of it beginning to really penetrate the economy and
Speaker 1: dropping the top marginal rates from seventy to twenty eight
Speaker 1: percent over the rest of his presidency that would be
Speaker 1: the last six years of his presidency. They created twenty
Speaker 1: one million new jobs and the longest period of peacetime
Speaker 1: economic growth. Couple that with energy dominance, and couple that
Speaker 1: with trillions and committed investments in our economy that President
Speaker 1: Trump has been able to accrue that no other president has.
Speaker 1: You know it just you don't snap your finger and
Speaker 1: just move the Titanic. It doesn't work that way. But
Speaker 1: we're moving in all the indicators are we're moving in
Speaker 1: the right direction, and it just there's a lag time
Speaker 1: before we start feeling it the way I think we will.
Speaker 1: I've been a believer in this in supply side economics
Speaker 1: my whole life, and it's never let me down so far.
Speaker 1: By the way, John Kennedy believed in it, right.
Speaker 8: Great, Well, I appreciate your insight. I again, huge fan,
Speaker 8: love my state. Thank you, Leanna, and I really am
Speaker 8: to please with was just interested in your perspective. So
Speaker 8: thanks for fighting the fight for us.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I love the people of Pennsylvania. You know,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania just you know, hard working, you know, just just
Speaker 1: salt of the earth people, period, Grey people appreciate the call, Marie,
Speaker 1: thank you. All right, quick break right back to our
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one. Shawn is a number if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get back for our busy phones. Eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: four one Shawn our number if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Richard, Texas Next Sean Hannity Show,
Speaker 1: What's up Richard. By the way, I saw that you
Speaker 1: guys adopted in your state constitution. Now you're never going
Speaker 1: to have in a state tax You're never going to
Speaker 1: have corporate taxes. A brilliant move that will attract so
Speaker 1: many businesses to Texas. Texas is going to thrive even more.
Speaker 9: Isn't that wonderful? And you know what I worry about
Speaker 9: the kids. Nobody does research. It's like, what's going on
Speaker 9: up there in New York. I hope someone's paying attention
Speaker 9: and they start passing this on to the children. That
Speaker 9: it's like, what's happening right now? I mean, President Trump's
Speaker 9: giving us an example of what a president should be
Speaker 9: and what he should do, and the transparency and just
Speaker 9: everything he does and how hard he works. You know,
Speaker 9: I came from nothing and I was able to work
Speaker 9: eighteen hour days, kind of like what you've said about
Speaker 9: your life. He took whatever job you could get and
Speaker 9: become successful with my wife's help. And I just think
Speaker 9: the kids don't do any research. Everything's at their fingertips,
Speaker 9: and that's a big problem of communism, Mom Donnie in
Speaker 9: New York. Maybe this is exactly what New York needs.
Speaker 9: Maybe this is what the United States needs to see
Speaker 9: to see how this works out, because of course it's
Speaker 9: going to fail. And you know, I just wish more
Speaker 9: people would pay attention. But I've always people are so
Speaker 9: busy working and trying to pay the rent and the
Speaker 9: bills that sometimes they just don't pay enough attention. You know.
Speaker 9: I'm sixty eight years old and the world's really changed
Speaker 9: a lot since the John F. Kennedy days when I
Speaker 9: was a kid in school and the Democratic Party shame shame,
Speaker 9: shame on them, And I don't know, I just really
Speaker 9: think that maybe this is what New York needs. This
Speaker 9: is in the United States, to see what's going to happen,
Speaker 9: and maybe these children will get interested in doing some research.
Speaker 9: And these are the things I worry about at sixty
Speaker 9: eight years old, because this country is not the same
Speaker 9: that I grew up.
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, you're raising a good point here, you know,
Speaker 1: when everything is offered for free, And this is why
Speaker 1: I wrote a whole chapter and Live Free or Die
Speaker 1: about socialism and its history of failure. Whatever name it's given,
Speaker 1: whatever form or manifestation it takes on, the promises are glorious.
Speaker 1: Everything's going to be free. We're going to share the wealth.
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to tax the rich. You're going
Speaker 1: to get your fair share. All your fears anxieties, worries
Speaker 1: about life and living will be taken away from you.
Speaker 1: And your government is going to you know, cradle to gray,
Speaker 1: womb to tomb, protect you.
Speaker 3: You know it sounds appealing.
Speaker 1: Is a part of that, Oh, however, it negates human nature.
Speaker 1: It human nature. We are designed to contribute when God
Speaker 1: gave you talent when you were born. You're not designed
Speaker 1: to get everything for free. And here's here's the truth.
Speaker 1: It always ends the same way. Unfulfilled promises. You end
Speaker 1: up with more poverty than when you started because they
Speaker 1: can't sustain it. Obamacare being exhibit A, social security Exhibit B,
Speaker 1: bad government schools Exhibit C. You know, defund, dismantle, nobail laws,
Speaker 1: open borders, you know, d, E and F and G,
Speaker 1: and just keep going and government fails, and they fail spectacularly,
Speaker 1: and then you calculate, you give of freedom in the
Speaker 1: name of false security. The beauty of capitalism is it
Speaker 1: it is predicated on a belief that you have talent
Speaker 1: and ability. And if you given the freedom to go
Speaker 1: out and take that talent and build goods and services
Speaker 1: that you provide other people and make a profit and
Speaker 1: make a living, it has created the greatest standard of
Speaker 1: wealth in the God and this is what makes America
Speaker 1: the greatest country God gave man. It's a little harder
Speaker 1: sell than telling you don't worry, We'll take care of
Speaker 1: everything for you. Now, I think the country is going
Speaker 1: to go through a period where we're going to have
Speaker 1: to educate some young people. And I'm hopeful that you know,
Speaker 1: this is why I wish people would would focus less
Speaker 1: on intramural stupidity and even in our movement, and focus
Speaker 1: more on, you know, helping people to understand what this
Speaker 1: is all about. But there's a certain appeal to this
Speaker 1: that we better be very wary of. And I think
Speaker 1: that you know, this is a canary in the coal mine.
Speaker 1: Now you see on the other side of it, people
Speaker 1: get it, and they're leaving, and they're leaving in droves,
Speaker 1: and they go into your state, my state, Tennessee, and
Speaker 1: the Carolinas. They're getting out in other states around the country.
Speaker 1: Got to run
