Speaker 1: All right, news round up in information Overload hour. Here's
Speaker 1: our toll free number. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have back on the program, Senator
Speaker 1: Ram Paul. He has a different view than the President
Speaker 1: on the issue of tariffs. Senator, great to have you back.
Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
Speaker 2: Very good, Sean, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Now, I know your constitutional argument, and you don't like
Speaker 1: the emergency powers that the president is using, and you
Speaker 1: fields and abuse generally. Though you know you've been pretty
Speaker 1: supportive of the president. I mean, I think it's been
Speaker 1: a pretty productive one hundred days by any objective measure.
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that part?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I give him an a plus for the one
Speaker 2: hundred days. I don't like the tariffs and think it'll
Speaker 2: be bad for the country, but if he's able to
Speaker 2: negotiate lower tariffs, I'll be for a complimentary of that.
Speaker 2: But on the cabinet, I was supported, and I've helped
Speaker 2: get his cabinet members through my committee chair a committee
Speaker 2: been ecstatic about Bobby Kennedy, j benachariot NIH, Marty MCCAREYOT
Speaker 2: FDA cash Battel, Tulsa Gabbard. Many of these are people
Speaker 2: I would have picked, frankly, so I've been ecstatic about that.
Speaker 2: I think he's doing a lot of good things for
Speaker 2: the border, my goodness, without a dollar and without any legislation,
Speaker 2: low and behold, just with his sheer presence, his sheer force,
Speaker 2: the presidence, he's you know, ended the onslaught at the border.
Speaker 2: I mean, it still has to be watched carefully, but
Speaker 2: he's probably reduced the flow of illegal Alians by like
Speaker 2: ninety of the border just by saying he cares about
Speaker 2: it and sending some extra troops down there.
Speaker 1: Let me ask this question before we get to your
Speaker 1: constitutional argument, which I'm always interested in hearing. Do you
Speaker 1: agree with the premise of the President that friend and
Speaker 1: fall alike, that they have ripped off America with unfair
Speaker 1: high towers against us. That would include friendly nations like
Speaker 1: Canada and the European Union. For example, the European Union
Speaker 1: charges is a ten percent tariff on an American car
Speaker 1: being sold in their countries. Then a country like Germany
Speaker 1: they have a twenty percent VAT tax, which is a
Speaker 1: value added tax, a national sales tax, and you know,
Speaker 1: by the time an American car you know, makes it
Speaker 1: on a lot in Germany, it's sticker price is thirty
Speaker 1: percent higher, which has rendered a pretty much cost you know,
Speaker 1: prohibitive for many people in Germany. And while they sell
Speaker 1: about fifty million cars a year annually here, we only
Speaker 1: sell about eight million to nine million over there. And
Speaker 1: I think that is that those are unfair trade practices.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with the President's premise, which is we're
Speaker 1: getting ripped off, We're being abused by even countries that
Speaker 1: depend on us for their national security and defense. And
Speaker 1: is there something in principle that is really wrong about that?
Speaker 2: Definitely on NATO, Yeah, I think we've been ripped off
Speaker 2: for years and years and they should be made to
Speaker 2: pay their fair share. With trade. I think there is
Speaker 2: a fundamental fallacy. So for example, if you say, what
Speaker 2: does the US buy from China? What is China about
Speaker 2: from the US. They actually don't trade with each other.
Speaker 2: Only individuals trade with other individuals. So if people say, well,
Speaker 2: I hate the trade with China and we should buy
Speaker 2: from China, that's millions of Americans who go to Walmart
Speaker 2: are making a decision. So let's say a million Americans
Speaker 2: go and buy a TV at Walmart and it costs
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars less, and it comes from China, so
Speaker 2: you get a three hundred dollars cheaper TV. Every one
Speaker 2: of those million consumers made a trade, but they all
Speaker 2: feel like they got a good deal. They wouldn't have
Speaker 2: given up their money to get the thing. So all
Speaker 2: trade is advantageous to the people making the trade, or
Speaker 2: you won't give up your money. If it's voluntary, you
Speaker 2: buy something and you're always happy with the trade. But
Speaker 2: if you take all million people who bought a TV
Speaker 2: and say three hundred dollars and add it together, and
Speaker 2: you say, well, gosh, all those TVs came from China
Speaker 2: and none came of America, they're ripping. So it's an
Speaker 2: artificial accounting or a way of looking at it. Because
Speaker 2: every individual in the million person trade there was happy.
Speaker 2: How can we bundle them together and say we got
Speaker 2: ripped off? So you could say it's an unfair country
Speaker 2: to country, say well, god, they have hire tariffs, but
Speaker 2: if they have hire tariffs on American goods, they are
Speaker 2: punishing their consumers. So we can then say, well, we'll
Speaker 2: punish our consumers the same as they do. By raising
Speaker 2: our arabs to mean no.
Speaker 1: But they're also punishing American American manufacturers, American farmers, American
Speaker 1: ranchers because they're closing their markets, like for example, Canada. Canada,
Speaker 1: you know, only allows a certain small percentage of dairy
Speaker 1: to be brought into their country, and then they go
Speaker 1: up to a two hundred and fifty percent tariff, and
Speaker 1: they're basically, well, we have open markets for them and
Speaker 1: their manufacturers and their producers and their lumber of people.
Speaker 1: Why would they shut the door in the face of
Speaker 1: our dairy farmers or are other farmers or other American products,
Speaker 1: which they've been doing now for a long period of time.
Speaker 1: So in other words, they're hurting farmers and ranchers and
Speaker 1: manufacturers here. And sure, maybe the person that likes getting
Speaker 1: a cheaper TV, but the person that actually produces things
Speaker 1: that they would otherwise consume, they're they're not given free
Speaker 1: access the way where we have given them free access.
Speaker 2: So when I first heard this about Canada, I was
Speaker 2: somewhat persuaded and somewhat pissed off that they would have
Speaker 2: a two hundred and seventy percent tair up on our dairy.
Speaker 1: But then looks after a per certain percentage has been sold. Yes,
Speaker 1: me and I.
Speaker 2: Looked into it, but you know, it doesn't come into
Speaker 2: play at all. There is no goods, No dairy goes
Speaker 2: to the Canada as the two hundred and seventy percent
Speaker 2: chaire because we never reached the quota. And the interesting
Speaker 2: thing is is when Trump renegotiated the US Mexico Canada agreement,
Speaker 2: he raised the quota, so he was successful in raising
Speaker 2: the quota, and we never get anywhere close to the quota.
Speaker 2: So in some ways it's a red herring. There is
Speaker 2: a two hundred and seventy percent tariff above a certain amount.
Speaker 2: We never get there. We're always well below the number,
Speaker 2: so there really is a terriff of zero.
Speaker 1: Jerry goes no that the tariff is not zero, because
Speaker 1: before you hit that number, the tariff is anywhere between
Speaker 1: five and ten percent.
Speaker 2: Very small and actually quite a bit of it.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's small. I mean because we're not
Speaker 1: putting tariffs on the products that bring it into this country,
Speaker 1: so there is an unfair tariff balance there.
Speaker 2: I guess the thing I would say is is that
Speaker 2: tariffs punish your own consumers. So Canada or any other
Speaker 2: country that wants to punish their consumers can but we shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Right, let's accept that as true. Then don't tariffs high
Speaker 1: tariffs also punish I mean maybe we maybe consumers benefit.
Speaker 1: I'll concede the point to you. What's the unfair if
Speaker 1: the president says you can have we can have free
Speaker 1: and fair trade across the board so we have a
Speaker 1: level playing field. Or if you're going to tiff us,
Speaker 1: we'll put reciprocal tariffs on you. Tell me why that's unfair.
Speaker 2: We're able to negotiate tariff lower. I'd be off with that.
Speaker 2: And to the extent that Donald Trump will be able
Speaker 2: to in the first ninety days negotiate lower tariffs, I
Speaker 2: think that would be great. If we just simply reciprocate
Speaker 2: and add to it, There'll be a cost and somebody
Speaker 2: has to pay that cost, and that'll be American consumers.
Speaker 2: So I don't I'm just an old fashioned conservatives. I
Speaker 2: don't like taxes, tariffs or taxes. Why would I like
Speaker 2: taxes any better? On goods that I would like an
Speaker 2: income taxer?
Speaker 1: But do you believe in I'm with you, I want
Speaker 1: low taxes too, But do you believe in free and
Speaker 1: fair trade. Also because I'm a free and fair trader.
Speaker 2: Yeah. For I think trade itself is an extension of capitalism,
Speaker 2: and so capitalism creates great wealth, and so the more
Speaker 2: we trade, the more wealth we have. And that's what
Speaker 2: we found over seventy years, really is that people have
Speaker 2: moved from the lower class in middle class in our
Speaker 2: country to the upper class. If you look at prosperity,
Speaker 2: if you look at GDP per capita, it's going up astronomically.
Speaker 2: If you look at how many hours it takes to
Speaker 2: buy something like a TV, it takes ten percent of
Speaker 2: the hours that used to take rice food, It takes
Speaker 2: ten percent of the time clothing. We've had extraordinary wealth
Speaker 2: because we now have a free time from all that
Speaker 2: money we saved through international trade to buy other stuff
Speaker 2: or to have more leisure time. So really the story
Speaker 2: of trade over the last seventy years has been one
Speaker 2: of extraordinary prosperity for our country.
Speaker 1: I do think, and you seem to, you know, not
Speaker 1: concede this point, that would be that we've been ripped
Speaker 1: off and treated unfairly, and especially by countries. It's not
Speaker 1: just NATO, it's all of Europe. Pretty much depends on
Speaker 1: the United States for the national security, and a lot
Speaker 1: of these countries have not paid their fair share to NATO.
Speaker 1: That's one aspect of it. But the idea that they're
Speaker 1: going to charge tariffs to American manufacturers and American companies
Speaker 1: and farmers and ranchers, I just think fundamentally is unfair.
Speaker 1: And I don't think they're being honest brokers and and
Speaker 1: good trading partners and good allies when they do that
Speaker 1: to us, which, as you rightly do point out, is
Speaker 1: beneficial to everybody, but it's more beneficial to them right now.
Speaker 1: And the president's challenging that status quo. And I think
Speaker 1: it's going to result in better deals. I can't say
Speaker 1: for certain, and I hope it's going to result in
Speaker 1: better deals.
Speaker 2: They're not wrong that there's the appearance and the reality
Speaker 2: of it being unfair at one country is high tariffs
Speaker 2: and one country is low tariffs. But someone has to
Speaker 2: pay if you want to have If you're going to
Speaker 2: force like somebody has a twenty percent tariff on you
Speaker 2: and you as a zero you said I want to
Speaker 2: do twenty percent, the American consumer will have to absorb
Speaker 2: that twenty percent in order to get a better sense
Speaker 2: of fairness, but there's an economic cost to it. And
Speaker 2: so what I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: Is that is it wrong then to challenge the system
Speaker 1: and at least put the pressure on to to at
Speaker 1: least at least try to get the system more fair
Speaker 1: and more free.
Speaker 2: I'm all for the negotiations I worry about out when
Speaker 2: you put one hundred and forty six percent tariff on
Speaker 2: things from Vietnam and the marketplace looks at that and
Speaker 2: people get scared out of the wits and sell six
Speaker 2: point six trillion dollars worth of stock in two days.
Speaker 2: This isn't just me complaining. This is the marketplace, which
Speaker 2: is millions of self interested, self centered but also people
Speaker 2: who have a great deal of knowledge are all trading,
Speaker 2: and that simultaneous knowledge that the market that place tells
Speaker 2: is they were worried about all of that. So there
Speaker 2: is a way to try to negotiate trade deals and
Speaker 2: lower trade and to enhance trade, but yet to be careful.
Speaker 2: But I'd take two items. I'd take steel and choose,
Speaker 2: and i would say, we've tried to protect steel on
Speaker 2: and off for seventy years, but are steal was inefficient?
Speaker 2: Organized labor unions demanded extraordinary wages, and we just got
Speaker 2: out competed with cars. When you look at cars, the
Speaker 2: Japanese are just so much better. They're still better. They
Speaker 2: come to our country and manufacture here, and they still
Speaker 2: make it better and cheap for the American cars do
Speaker 2: and they do it here. I don't think there's any
Speaker 2: amount of tariff that's bringing the steel industry back, and
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any amount of tariff that brings
Speaker 2: shoes back. But we replaced some of the shoe jobs,
Speaker 2: like we make BMW and Green.
Speaker 1: Well actually didn't. The President kind of got these companies Nissan, Honda,
Speaker 1: for example, Toyota. My understanding is BMW, Mercedes are going
Speaker 1: to build their cars with more American parts here as
Speaker 1: the means of bypassing the tariffs. And I like it
Speaker 1: because that results in high paying career jobs for Americans.
Speaker 1: So I think the market is adjusting to the President's
Speaker 1: challenge in that sense.
Speaker 2: No, so we make three in Kentucky. We make the Corvette,
Speaker 2: which is American aid, we make the Toyota Camery which.
Speaker 1: Is American Corvette Z six is awesome, and we all make.
Speaker 2: The four truck. All of these manufacturers come to me
Speaker 2: and they say that the tariffs that have been placed
Speaker 2: on the twenty five percent terraff between Mexico and Canada,
Speaker 2: he adjusted to a low tariff atmosphere and they had
Speaker 2: a lot of parts going back and forth. They say,
Speaker 2: simply the compliance costs. Now banks can complain about compliance
Speaker 2: costs of regulations. The compliance costs are figuring out a
Speaker 2: tariff on every volt where it comes from. We have
Speaker 2: seamless supply chain going back and forth between Canada, the
Speaker 2: US and Mexico is extraordinary. But they're talking about five
Speaker 2: to ten thousand dollars a car, so just not good
Speaker 2: for America to pay more. At five to ten thousand
Speaker 2: dollars more. In the end, you could say, well it's fair,
Speaker 2: but Americans are going to have to pay five to
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars more per car, and I think a
Speaker 2: lot of Americans will say, well, I'm going to put
Speaker 2: off buying a car, and then we may end up
Speaker 2: having a recession if everybody quits buying stuff because the
Speaker 2: tariff tax is so high.
Speaker 1: My best bet, and I can't put a guarantee on it,
Speaker 1: is that all these countries that have expressed interest in
Speaker 1: making deals with President Trump. I believe that that is real.
Speaker 1: I think China will be the most difficult to make
Speaker 1: a deal with, but in the end, they need access
Speaker 1: to our markets, and we probably need their rare earth
Speaker 1: minerals way more than we'd want to acknowledge.
Speaker 2: That's more trade if we get that on for it.
Speaker 2: But like let's say, for example, antibiotics, I don't want
Speaker 2: four precious antibotics to only be made in China.
Speaker 1: So what I would no, way, that's a security issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what I would do rather than
Speaker 2: the teriff issue where we might have no antibiotics or
Speaker 2: the antibotic prices my triple, I would offer zero percent
Speaker 2: corporate tax on somebody who'll make those antibiotics in our
Speaker 2: country for ten years. I'd say no tax I wouldn't
Speaker 2: say lower taxes. I would say no taxes will remove obstacles,
Speaker 2: will expedite the approve of it. But if you want
Speaker 2: to make a maxacillin, which is dedrivative of penicillin in
Speaker 2: our country and it's only anything only made in China,
Speaker 2: you know, in fact, if that's legislation that we're considering introducing,
Speaker 2: would be legislation to zero out taxes on anything that's
Speaker 2: solely done in China, then we're not ruining the marketplace
Speaker 2: before fixing it. It takes a while, might take a
Speaker 2: year or two for a company to develop a steel company,
Speaker 2: might cost one hundred billion for a blast furnace. I
Speaker 2: just don't think that's happening. But I'm not against giving
Speaker 2: tax inventives to US steel companies.
Speaker 1: Look, this is going to play out. I agree with you, though.
Speaker 1: I think the quicker these issues are resolved and hopefully
Speaker 1: better and freer and fairer trade deals would benefit not
Speaker 1: only consumers, butt manufacturers and farmers and ranchers that have
Speaker 1: been shut out of some of these markets. I think
Speaker 1: is the benefit for all Americans in the end. But
Speaker 1: it's complicated. The sooner it's resolved, I would agree with you,
Speaker 1: the better it's going to be for everybody.
Speaker 2: If we could have within the ninety days a reciprocal
Speaker 2: lowering affaires between countries, and now that you'll see a
Speaker 2: boom and an increase in the market like you haven't
Speaker 2: seen big time. Yeah, but we needed Right now, we're
Speaker 2: increasing government aid for farmers because the farmers are going
Speaker 2: to be excluded from China's market.
Speaker 1: China will also have to give in over time. We're
Speaker 1: just out of time, though, a Senator Rampaul, we always
Speaker 1: appreciate you, thanks so much for being with us Democrats,
Speaker 1: I mean the party of angry, petulant bingo cards, slogans, singing,
Speaker 1: and now the party led by the squad aoc Chasmine
Speaker 1: Crockett and Grandpa Bernie. You know they're just out of
Speaker 1: it and just had a complete meltdown during about Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's first hundred days. Let's play it. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you we have a thug and charge of the United States,
Speaker 1: and if we don't wake up, we may not have
Speaker 1: a United States.
Speaker 3: I don't swear in colicary love, but we have to
Speaker 3: Trump trouble Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: And and what Grant said is there are but two
Speaker 4: parties in America right now, patriots and traders.
Speaker 1: When is it going to be enough?
Speaker 5: My voice is inadequate, my.
Speaker 1: Efforts today, are you inadequate to.
Speaker 5: Stop what they're trying to do? You get Trump mustered hands.
Speaker 1: Must now. The President, I think very smartly went to
Speaker 1: Michigan last night and he decided to lay out his
Speaker 1: case for his first hundred days and all the success
Speaker 1: and frankly the foundation that he is building for a
Speaker 1: lot of future American growth, prosperity, the America's golden age,
Speaker 1: as he calls it.
Speaker 3: We've set all time records for the lowest number of
Speaker 3: illegal border crossings ever recorded.
Speaker 1: Think of that ever recorded.
Speaker 3: I'm proud to be the president for the workers and
Speaker 3: not the outsources, the president who stands up for Main
Speaker 3: Street on Wall Street. Our golden age has only just begun.
Speaker 3: We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation
Speaker 3: under God.
Speaker 1: We will never give in.
Speaker 3: We will never give up, we will never back down.
Speaker 1: We will never ever surrender.
Speaker 3: We will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win.
Speaker 1: And he capped off the day an interview with Terry
Speaker 1: Moran uh over facilitating of Bregoe Garcia's return to the US.
Speaker 1: Apparently one of this was this on ABC Nightly News
Speaker 1: last night. Is that where they aired this, Linda, it is.
Speaker 6: Indeed, I know you were watching with bated breath.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't watched one of those.
Speaker 6: Oh no, you love liberal news media.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't even know who the anchor is anymore. Donald,
Speaker 1: I heard I heard that. Well, apparently wouldn't give the
Speaker 1: interview to little Georgie and uh and David muror so
Speaker 1: Terry Moran. I'm like, any I don't think he knew
Speaker 1: who he was, that he was.
Speaker 4: Out of here clips, you know. And David Muir doesn't
Speaker 4: do an interview unless he can have his jacket nice
Speaker 4: and tight. So Donald Trump wasn't, you know, couldn't make
Speaker 4: it work. He's like, sorry, brother, whatever.
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you. Who anchors NBC Nightly News since
Speaker 1: Lester Holt left. I have no idea. I have. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. After Nora O'Donnell was sacked from CBS.
Speaker 1: Who's anchor in that show? You know? It could be
Speaker 1: Katie Kirk for all I know. I have no idea.
Speaker 6: Could be Katy Perry for all you know, you know
Speaker 6: and make it really weird.
Speaker 1: Could be Katy Perry. He's busy flying rocket ships and
Speaker 1: kissing Mother Earth or whatever she is. Eleven minutes later,
Speaker 1: upon return the star struck.
Speaker 6: In quote unquote space with a sunflower.
Speaker 1: Give me a break whatever, I mean, who cares? I
Speaker 1: don't know what. But it was a whole story about
Speaker 1: people hating on Katy Perry. I don't just like her,
Speaker 1: I do I did see her on American Idol, and
Speaker 1: she seemed like a nice person.
Speaker 6: She took that land from the nuns kind of over her.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, I remember that contrary.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't forget that stuff. You can't mess with nuns. Man.
Speaker 1: Come on, I ever tell you before I get to
Speaker 1: Terry Moran and Trump, I ever tell you the story.
Speaker 1: I bought a property and I get a letter. Well,
Speaker 1: actually the letter came to a friend of mine. They
Speaker 1: didn't have contact with me, and in the letter, it
Speaker 1: turns out and we were in full contract. You know,
Speaker 1: they had no legal right to get the house back,
Speaker 1: and they had sellers remorse, really and just you know,
Speaker 1: invoking probably the name of Jesus more than I could
Speaker 1: count on one page, you know, hopefully just desperately wanted
Speaker 1: their house back. And I'm like, I'm like, sure, no problem.
Speaker 6: They wanted the houseback that you bought from.
Speaker 1: Them, correct copy. I was in contract to clothes on
Speaker 1: very soon and they went. They and the person had
Speaker 1: sellows remorse. They regretted selling it, but.
Speaker 6: It was it like their family home. Were they in
Speaker 6: it for like thirty years or I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, I didn't didn't. How do you know?
Speaker 6: Would you ask questions when you're at closing I.
Speaker 1: Just wanted this strong letter begging me not to buy
Speaker 1: their house. And you know, I know you're a Christian.
Speaker 1: I know you believe in Jesus, and I do this.
Speaker 4: When you were already Sean Hannity, Or is this like
Speaker 4: pre Sean Handity, like did they know who you were?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, this is what what do you mean pre show?
Speaker 1: There was no pre show?
Speaker 4: There's like Sean Hannity, I'm full and off a roof,
Speaker 4: I'm working on boats, and then they're shine already.
Speaker 1: Kennedy didn't have money to buy a house. Unfortunately, at
Speaker 1: that time in my life, I was barely paying my rent,
Speaker 1: and so I of course said, of course you're gonna
Speaker 1: have your house back. If you don't feel good about it,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. I can't well, I mean, what kind
Speaker 1: of person would you be. You got to have a heart,
Speaker 1: You gotta have a soul. I would have liked the house,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to make anything more important than
Speaker 1: being a good person.
Speaker 4: That's really really nice. Maybe you should call Katie Perry and.
Speaker 1: Tell her to give the nuns their property back.
Speaker 6: Here you go, like, hey, miss Firework, how do you
Speaker 6: feel about that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: I just never had had an experience like that, and
Speaker 1: I'm reading this letter every fifth order is Jesus. It
Speaker 1: was just in that sense it was funny because I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't have to overseell me here. You regret selling
Speaker 1: the house, you wish you didn't do it? Why would I?
Speaker 1: Why would I want to bring pain into this person's life?
Speaker 4: Now when you gave it back, did you like communicate
Speaker 4: through your agent or did you actually like talk to
Speaker 4: the person?
Speaker 1: And I always use lawyers. I might have talked to
Speaker 1: the woman briefly and just said, Okay, you'll cover the
Speaker 1: costs of what I spent and you're gonna have your
Speaker 1: house back.
Speaker 6: But I mean, like, were they relieve? Were they happy?
Speaker 6: Like what happened? I want the details?
Speaker 1: Of course the woman was happy. I said, it gave
Speaker 1: her what she wanted.
Speaker 6: Did she tell you why?
Speaker 1: Conversation I remember having was Okay, I understand, not a
Speaker 1: big deal. Sure I'll you know, I'll rip up the contract.
Speaker 1: You just agree to pay for the cost that I
Speaker 1: incurred in the process of buying the house, which is
Speaker 1: not you know, I was next to nothing. I paid
Speaker 1: for an inspection, and I paid for you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a lawyer.
Speaker 6: Well, I think that's very nice of you, and I
Speaker 6: hope that it was her family.
Speaker 1: You would do the same thing.
Speaker 4: Or I would absolutely When I buy my vacation home
Speaker 4: and somebody wants my other home and I put this
Speaker 4: home shore, I hope that someday that is a problem
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 1: Now, if at the home had already been transferred to
Speaker 1: my name, I probably say you should have thought of
Speaker 1: that before you sold it. At that point, you know,
Speaker 1: you just go through too much of a rigmarole, just
Speaker 1: too then it becomes too hard. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: come back a year.
Speaker 6: Later at the property from you and they could pay
Speaker 6: the mortgage.
Speaker 1: You could do that too.
Speaker 4: There's all listen, there's always a at the end of
Speaker 4: the day. There is always a way. It's just how
Speaker 4: bad you want it.
Speaker 1: That's all all right. I forget about Terry Moran. Let's
Speaker 1: get to our phones. I don't care about him. Uh
Speaker 1: let's say Hida Blanca Maryland, Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5: Hi, afternoon. Well, I just wanted to share with you
Speaker 5: that I'm a proud American naturalized citizen from Alfavador. And
Speaker 5: uh I am from Maryland. I am ma'am.
Speaker 1: So you're a true Marylander.
Speaker 5: Well, yes, originally from Melfavador, but yes I am a Marylander.
Speaker 5: And uh in where the dents have turned Baltimore, Maryland
Speaker 5: into bullet war murder land. Uh, that is what they
Speaker 5: have done here. The policies have cost lives, which that
Speaker 5: cannot be replaced. The economic just the there is no
Speaker 5: safety net. The economic turmoil that we're under is unbearable.
Speaker 5: And I wanted to share as a Salvadorian and now
Speaker 5: American that oftentimes I've seen been here twenty excuse me,
Speaker 5: forty two years next month, and I have seen immigrants
Speaker 5: fight harder than those who are born here. That's very disappointing.
Speaker 5: It's very disappointing.
Speaker 1: Oh, I totally agree with you. I have seen immigrants
Speaker 1: that appreciate freedom, especially if they come from countries where
Speaker 1: they didn't have freedom and opportunity, you know, really appreciate
Speaker 1: this country more than Americans. We kind of take things
Speaker 1: as natural human nature to take things for granted. And
Speaker 1: I remember one night I was working in an office
Speaker 1: that this is when I was a painting contractor, and
Speaker 1: it was overnight. I had to paint, and you know,
Speaker 1: incomes this guy and he was a Russian immigrant and
Speaker 1: the guy you know and ended up being so successful,
Speaker 1: and he was there to clean the offices in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night with his young son. I couldn't
Speaker 1: sat talk to the guy for like an hour and
Speaker 1: a half. Learned a lot from him.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, because one thing. And I can't say for all,
Speaker 5: because I can't generalize all individuals. But one thing I
Speaker 5: can say is that the circumstances that brought me here.
Speaker 5: I was abused as a child in every way that
Speaker 5: abuse could occur to someone, and I was adopted, and
Speaker 5: I was adopted at age ten. So assimilating to a
Speaker 5: new country, a new culture, a new family, a new home,
Speaker 5: a new way of life, a new language, it really
Speaker 5: helps me to understand the cost of what it means
Speaker 5: to retain and preserve. I think that oftentime, many many
Speaker 5: people that are that were born here, they they kind
Speaker 5: of release. We try to retain. As conservatives, we retain
Speaker 5: and we preserve that they try to release, and then
Speaker 5: they pander, they tander to hold power, and that power
Speaker 5: is not really power because they are holding so many
Speaker 5: people hostage. The political party, especially here in Baltimore City,
Speaker 5: is it's as corrupt as the late, the day is long.
Speaker 5: It's very corrupt between the money that go to one
Speaker 5: nonprofit to this nonprofit. And this one has a boyfriend
Speaker 5: and that's why he got the grant. And then now
Speaker 5: you know they're not together. And now this and that,
Speaker 5: I mean this safe streets scam that we have here
Speaker 5: you know where where where you can't know who they are,
Speaker 5: but we know that they have a record and they're
Speaker 5: just basically just walking around the streets being tour guides.
Speaker 5: This is what safe streets is. Nobody can call it
Speaker 5: out because then you're called every name. The school system
Speaker 5: gets one point seven billion dollars. Yet we have eighty
Speaker 5: one thousand people just in Baltimore without a high school degree,
Speaker 5: and so as.
Speaker 1: An immigrant, are there at thirteen or fifteen or some
Speaker 1: astronomical number of Maryland high schools where kids not one
Speaker 1: kid could pass a proficiency test in either reading, English
Speaker 1: or math. Not one kid in high schools thirteen high
Speaker 1: schools thirteen, yes.
Speaker 5: In the thirteen out of the thirty seven schools. That
Speaker 5: is correct. That is because the Democrats continue to lie
Speaker 5: that you can get ahead by doing nothing, being socially promoted,
Speaker 5: and then there's no accountability the rec centers are ready
Speaker 5: to be opened onto eleven PM. And you know what
Speaker 5: that means. Just the kids are going to just be
Speaker 5: at a rec center while the parents are aware they
Speaker 5: should be at home, they should be trained. But the perpetual,
Speaker 5: the preschool to the preschool to prison pipeline is real here.
Speaker 5: So I just wanted to let you know that as
Speaker 5: an immigrant, I listened to you. I'm been a Republican
Speaker 5: for over twenty years. I was one of those like.
Speaker 1: The let me just say something only because I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the clock and I'm going to run out of
Speaker 1: time here. I support legal immigration. You know what. We
Speaker 1: are a better country because of people like you, And
Speaker 1: I don't care where you come from. I just asked
Speaker 1: people to do it legally, respect our laws, border sovereignty,
Speaker 1: and we need to do background checks to make sure
Speaker 1: you don't have radical associations, health checks post COVID, and
Speaker 1: make sure that you're not a financial burden on the
Speaker 1: American people. And here you are in this country, facing challenges,
Speaker 1: having a learning language, new family, all of that, and
Speaker 1: look at the great American you are, the great Marylander
Speaker 1: you are today And I don't care where people come from.
Speaker 1: We just have to have rules that allow them. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden allowed in terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists,
Speaker 1: violent criminals. We can't do that. But Blanca, you show
Speaker 1: how an immigration system should work, and it was designed
Speaker 1: to work, and you did it legally, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: your life turned out the way it didn't. We're glad
Speaker 1: you're here. You're part of our family. All right, that's
Speaker 1: going to wrap things up at today. We'll check in
Speaker 1: with Newkingridge tonight. Elena Hama joins us tonight, Victor Davis Hansen,
Speaker 1: Horace Cooper. We'll have a Hannity shootout. Haven't had that
Speaker 1: in a while. Jessica Tarlaw versus Mary Catherine Ham, Joe Kansha,
Speaker 1: and our other news of the day segment and much more.
Speaker 1: Nine Easter news you will never ever get from the
Speaker 1: state run legacy media mob. Tonight on Hannity. We'll see
Speaker 1: you then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making this
Speaker 1: show possible.
