Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shannon. Hour two Sean Hannity's show,
Speaker 1: Toll Free. It is eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: We have a lot coming up today and we are
Speaker 1: only sixty days away till election day. We have early
Speaker 1: ballots going out to North Carolina today, Mellon absentee ballots,
Speaker 1: eleven days voting in Pennsylvania. And here we are on
Speaker 1: the eve of all of this. A ton of news
Speaker 1: breaking between yesterday and today as it relates to the
Speaker 1: weaponization of our Justice Department. But one bit of good news.
Speaker 1: I think it's good news. In my opinion, I frankly
Speaker 1: think this entire you know, New York trial should be vacated,
Speaker 1: I mean, based on the Supreme Court decision involving immunity anyway,
Speaker 1: Judge Mrshawn and this ruling, said, cited the unique time
Speaker 1: frame that this matter currently finds itself in, and scheduled
Speaker 1: sentencing for November twenty six. He had previously planned to
Speaker 1: hand down mister Trump's punishment September eighteenth, only seven weeks
Speaker 1: before election day. This is not a decision the Court
Speaker 1: makes likely lightly, but the decision is in. This is
Speaker 1: the court's view best advances the cause and the interests
Speaker 1: of justice. Now, this is on top of the fact
Speaker 1: that you know, in spite of what has been a
Speaker 1: longstanding DOJ policy not to bring political cases before elections. Well,
Speaker 1: we saw this unfold in d C just yesterday, where
Speaker 1: in the DC case that the judge is likely going
Speaker 1: to allow damning evidence not in a trial, because the
Speaker 1: trial is not going to take place in the DC
Speaker 1: case prior to an election, which would be very prejudicial
Speaker 1: towards Donald Trump. And this is where we now find ourselves.
Speaker 2: We have with US.
Speaker 1: Attorney General Ashley Moody is with us, and by the way,
Speaker 1: she's suing the Biden administration for documents proving the federal
Speaker 1: government is pushing criminal illegal immigrants and aliens out of
Speaker 1: prison and into our communities. Alena Haba is the legal
Speaker 1: spokeswoman for President Trump. Elena, let's start with you. Let's
Speaker 1: start with Mershaun and today, and let's go back to
Speaker 1: yesterday and the judge in DC in the January sixth
Speaker 1: case that was just refiled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Sean, you know, obviously we think the judge
Speaker 3: made the first step, which was a right decision on
Speaker 3: the hush money as we call it case in New York.
Speaker 3: But I agree with you completely. Number one, This case,
Speaker 3: along with January six should never have been brought. Number two,
Speaker 3: We can't ignore the fact that these were all brought
Speaker 3: as election interference cases. You just can't deny it because
Speaker 3: the timing doesn't make sense for us to be inundated.
Speaker 3: It makes actually perfect sense. Let me be clear, for
Speaker 3: us to be inundated held up in court as we
Speaker 3: have only to now be sixty days out of an election.
Speaker 3: They've had failed Jack Smith's indictments that now he has
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to refile only because of delays because
Speaker 3: of the amount of evidence that they had their hands
Speaker 3: in the cookie jar and mess up. Okay, is so inappropriate.
Speaker 3: That's on January sixth, and that case, along with this
Speaker 3: hush money case in New York that we now have
Speaker 3: a sentencing delay on, should frankly be completely wiped out.
Speaker 3: We're hearing rumblings of issues that have come out to
Speaker 3: be true from Congress that there was authentic and donations
Speaker 3: made to authentic. That is inappropriate.
Speaker 4: Look, Sean, you and I have.
Speaker 3: Talked about this ad nauseum. We cannot have a weaponized
Speaker 3: justice system. The people need to believe that the dj
Speaker 3: is there to protect the American people, not to be political,
Speaker 3: not to be arms of the Democrat Party or frankly
Speaker 3: any party, the Republicans either, and that is what we
Speaker 3: need to get our country back. But what they're doing
Speaker 3: to President Trump in the middle of election, and what
Speaker 3: they've done to this man for the last three and
Speaker 3: a half years to get him off the campaign trails,
Speaker 3: what they did taking Biden off, putting Kamala in. He
Speaker 3: is the most resilient person I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 3: And if you ever have any doubts about somebody who
Speaker 3: can withstand any amount of trauma, any amount of attack,
Speaker 3: and take care of this country, I don't know how
Speaker 3: you could stand with anybody but Trump at this point.
Speaker 1: Sean, let me ask you, Attorney General Ashley Moody. I
Speaker 1: think this if you look at this case and you
Speaker 1: juxtaposed it with the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity,
Speaker 1: that decision was very clear. In this case that took
Speaker 1: place in New York. As I said, it was a
Speaker 1: misdemeanor case whose statute of limitations had long since expired,
Speaker 1: and Alvin Bragg comes up with this novel legal theory
Speaker 1: and a crazy left wing political activist of a judge
Speaker 1: goes along with this and anyway, but evidence presented in
Speaker 1: that case was from the time when Donald Trump was president.
Speaker 1: How do you not vacate that verdict in that case completely?
Speaker 5: Well, look, exactly right. This was a well documented judge
Speaker 5: who had ties to donation to Biden's You describe him
Speaker 5: as an activist judge, I would argue, people could say
Speaker 5: the prosecutors were activists. And what concerns me? I think, yes,
Speaker 5: having the sentencing delayed that, I think that is great news.
Speaker 5: But what's concerning to me is this decision on the
Speaker 5: motion to vacate conviction is going to is set right
Speaker 5: after the election, and you know as well as I do,
Speaker 5: that the media is going to continue to talk about
Speaker 5: all of this as it leads right up and through
Speaker 5: that election on November the fifth, to hit that next gate.
Speaker 5: And how can that be the case in a country
Speaker 5: where you have someone on the presidential ballot being the
Speaker 5: discussion of a conviction of thirty four counts of convictions
Speaker 5: which we will all call and I know you've called
Speaker 5: them zombie charges. So you know, I think that it's
Speaker 5: good news that this was set off, but the fact
Speaker 5: that it's set off just after the election, you know
Speaker 5: that the media is direct fund this motion to vacate
Speaker 5: conviction is going to draw everyone's attention back to all
Speaker 5: of the evidence that that judge let in, which as
Speaker 5: a former judge myself and a former federal prosecutor, I
Speaker 5: can tell you so much of that should have never
Speaker 5: come in. And I think it's going to be argued
Speaker 5: that look at the witnesses they were calling Hokik others
Speaker 5: that were directly related to his official duties. So how
Speaker 5: can you say so much of that evidence wasn't related
Speaker 5: to what's going to come under that immunity ruling by
Speaker 5: the Supreme Court. And the fact, I'll go back to
Speaker 5: what Mizaba was saying, the fact that we're discussing this
Speaker 5: right now, seven weeks out from elections shows that what
Speaker 5: they have planned all along is happening. And while we're
Speaker 5: focusing on this stuff, these cases, the evidence that should
Speaker 5: have never come in in those trials, the charges that
Speaker 5: should have never been tried in court. They're talking, they're
Speaker 5: allowing their candidate to run around and make up lies
Speaker 5: and basically say what he said, what Trump said, She's
Speaker 5: copying all of his policies. And meanwhile, instead of talking
Speaker 5: about policies, we're having that the campaign is having to
Speaker 5: respond to these allegations that have already been discussed in
Speaker 5: courtant now we're having to go through motion practices and
Speaker 5: preparing for a sentencing. It's unbelievable the state that we
Speaker 5: find ourselves as a country during this twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1: There is not a legal scholar Oleina that I don't
Speaker 1: know that doesn't see this being overturned on appeal, and
Speaker 1: therein lies a huge problem is you can't appeal this
Speaker 1: until sentencing takes place, and that would otherwise vindicate Donald
Speaker 1: Trump before the election. So the law fair if you will,
Speaker 1: or the weaponization continues through the election. That's problematic in
Speaker 1: and of itself.
Speaker 3: It is the damage is done.
Speaker 6: You're right.
Speaker 3: Look, they controlled the narrative and the radical left media
Speaker 3: definitely had their hand in this in making sure that
Speaker 3: it was inundated with nothing but Trump legal issues, women,
Speaker 3: be it financial, be it their company in an attempt
Speaker 3: to take him down. So, yeah, you can't ignore what
Speaker 3: has happened for the last three years. I will say though,
Speaker 3: I think Shawn, and I know you'll agree with this.
Speaker 3: Who else could be where he is after all these attacks.
Speaker 3: It's impossible. Nobody could withstand this.
Speaker 4: The polls are.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable considering what he's withstood. So you know, I agree
Speaker 3: with you. The damage is done. But more importantly, the
Speaker 3: American taxpayers have had damage. They've been paying for this
Speaker 3: nonsense through taxpayer dollars. They've been funding these das and ags.
Speaker 3: They elected these people and they said they were going
Speaker 3: to get Trump and that's, frankly, exactly what they tried
Speaker 3: to do. And now they've got mud on their face.
Speaker 3: So I think what I would like to do as
Speaker 3: an American, as a mother, as a human being that
Speaker 3: is sick and tired of this who is, get back
Speaker 3: to policy and let the American people see and talk
Speaker 3: about how the country was better under Trump, because this
Speaker 3: lawfair is such a distraction. We all know what happened
Speaker 3: Yester with Hunter Frankly is just because he knows he's
Speaker 3: going to get a pardon. I know that you know
Speaker 3: that it's a joke. And to act like he's a martyr,
Speaker 3: that was another thing I never thought i'd see, but
Speaker 3: you know, they never cease to amaze me, this current administration.
Speaker 3: And it's a sad thing what they're doing.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: Let me, I'd be negligent if I didn't get into
Speaker 1: what you're doing down here in Florida, the Free State
Speaker 1: of Florida. And I have no idea why you're still
Speaker 1: in the northeast Alina, But you know that's your choice.
Speaker 1: Everyone's free to live wherever they want. You can pay
Speaker 1: all the taxes, and what's.
Speaker 3: That I am moving on to the Free State of Florida.
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't blame you, but Attorney General Moody, you
Speaker 1: did file a lawsuit against the Biden Harris administration for
Speaker 1: their failure to produce public documents responsive to the Freedom
Speaker 1: of Information Act request filed by your office in March
Speaker 1: seeking documents regarding the administration's policies permitting the release of
Speaker 1: dangerous criminals into the US and following the release there
Speaker 1: release from US prisons. But it's even worse than that,
Speaker 1: whether those Foxnews dot Com has been trying through the
Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act to get details on the nationalities
Speaker 1: and backgrounds of people would territize that Harris and Biden
Speaker 1: have allowed into this country unvetted.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and so much of this is being done without
Speaker 5: any knowledge by the American people. When I tell folks
Speaker 5: that people that they have brought into our country specifically
Speaker 5: to prosecute and put behind bars because they are committing
Speaker 5: crimes against America, Harris and Biden have decided that instead
Speaker 5: of immediately deporting these criminals out of our US prisons,
Speaker 5: they are just going to release some street into our community.
Speaker 5: That is the opposite of what every administration has ever done.
Speaker 5: So it's not just that they're letting people on the
Speaker 5: Terraces watch List in gang members, traffickers flood into our
Speaker 5: country over the border. They're taking those that they have
Speaker 5: brought here and put into our prisons for criminal prosecutions,
Speaker 5: and when they're sentences over, they're saying, no longer are
Speaker 5: we going to send them home. They're just going to
Speaker 5: live among us. And you see how well that's working
Speaker 5: out in Colorado. You're seeing how well that's working out
Speaker 5: in New York City. In fact, Mayor Adams just said, look,
Speaker 5: we can't work with them, We can't support these people
Speaker 5: because the administration, even when we arrest them, they won't
Speaker 5: support them. So when you have liberal mayors stating we're
Speaker 5: in a state of chaos and it's because we can't
Speaker 5: support these people and they're not doing what they're required
Speaker 5: by law to do. You know, we're in for a
Speaker 5: world of hurt and my biggest fear, and I'll go
Speaker 5: back to how we started this discussion. While we're sitting
Speaker 5: here talking about cases. While we're sitting here talking about
Speaker 5: presidential immunity and all of the conviction and all of
Speaker 5: the cases that have been sought and targeted against President Trump,
Speaker 5: we aren't highlighting this exactly, this that they are allowing
Speaker 5: our country to rot from within and covering it with
Speaker 5: like a candy coateored sugar of Paris, going around pretending.
Speaker 3: All is well.
Speaker 5: And that has to be the focus of this next
Speaker 5: sets in weeks. What do you want the country to
Speaker 5: look like? And this is happening, and I will continue
Speaker 5: to fight to make sure the American people know it
Speaker 5: because it's affecting law enforcement, it's affecting our community in Florida,
Speaker 5: and I know every state is feeling the same thing.
Speaker 1: It really is a quick break. Will come back more
Speaker 1: on this ruling. Sentencing in the New York case now
Speaker 1: has been put on a delay post election. We'll continue
Speaker 1: with Alena Habba and also Ashley Moody, the Attorney General
Speaker 1: of Florida, Attorney General, Great State of Florida, my Free
Speaker 1: State of Florida. Ashley Moody is with us, and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's presidential legal spokesperson, Alena Hobba is with us. Elena,
Speaker 1: let's talk about where we go from here, and if
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wins this election, I have to imagine that
Speaker 1: all of this has to go away.
Speaker 2: But am I wrong? Am I thinking?
Speaker 3: No, You're not wrong, and you're thinking obviously in sentencing
Speaker 3: will be null and void. And I think the judge
Speaker 3: acknowledge is that. I think that, you know, that's a
Speaker 3: good first step. But yeah, no, these cases effectively are done.
Speaker 3: We know Georgia's binda and we know that they should
Speaker 3: never have been brought. But yes, they would be completely
Speaker 3: avoid and you know, it's what we shouldn't even have
Speaker 3: to do that. But yeah, that's that's unfortunately what would happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your take?
Speaker 1: Do you think this does have an impact on the
Speaker 1: American people?
Speaker 2: Attorney General Moodie will give you the last word.
Speaker 5: I think the fact that we have the Democratic candidate
Speaker 5: Harris running around telling people she's basically supporting all of
Speaker 5: the policies that Trump did during office that kept this
Speaker 5: nation safe and protected our people. I think that's indicative
Speaker 5: that she is trying to scan the American people and
Speaker 5: distract us with all of this other stuff so that
Speaker 5: people won't dig in and find out the truth. But
Speaker 5: I'm telling you we're committed to doing that. I think
Speaker 5: Lena is committed to doing that, and I'm hoping we
Speaker 5: give it a final push up into November to make
Speaker 5: that a reality so people know what they're voting for.
Speaker 2: That's all very, very important.
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot more on this on Hannity tonight,
Speaker 1: nine Eastern on Fox. We thank you Elina Haba. Thank
Speaker 1: you Attorney General Ashley Moody. We appreciate both of you
Speaker 1: being with us. Thank you so much. On this Friday. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we proudly welcome back Tony Bood to the program. And anyway,
Speaker 1: he's the executive director of VTA Vapor Technology Association. They're
Speaker 1: at the forefront of defending the vape industry. And you
Speaker 1: might say, well, Hannity, why do you care about this,
Speaker 1: But well, we've seen you on TV, you vape. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: guilty is charged. Probably not the healthiest thing that I
Speaker 1: do in my life, but you know what, I do
Speaker 1: it so or I chew nicorette, I do that too,
Speaker 1: and I kind of go back and forth between the two.
Speaker 1: And anyway, long story short is I gave up smoking cigars.
Speaker 1: You know, many many years ago. I was smoking way
Speaker 1: too many of them. And the same with when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. I smoked cigarettes when I was eleven
Speaker 1: twelve in a restaurant. It's ridiculous, But this is a
Speaker 1: different time. My parents smoked, My sisters at the time
Speaker 1: all smoked. They ended up all giving it up, as
Speaker 1: it did. I gave it up when I was twenty.
Speaker 1: It never was a big I never really liked how
Speaker 1: to smell. But you know, I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: like a very low I use two different vapes, one
Speaker 1: that has no nicotine at all and one that has
Speaker 1: nicotine just a very low zero point three percent. And however,
Speaker 1: I believe in freedom, and this is an ongoing discussion
Speaker 1: that we have had that the Party of Joy and
Speaker 1: the Party of Freedom would take away and tax you
Speaker 1: to death on the issue of choosing to vapor not vape.
Speaker 1: I would not recommend smoking, I would not recommend shrinking
Speaker 1: and access I you know, for example, but I don't
Speaker 1: want my guns confiscated with a mandatory buyback. That doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like freedom and joy, you know, the price of democracy.
Speaker 1: Kamala calls high gas prices not a lot of joy
Speaker 1: and freedom, paying you know, a buck fifty more gallon
Speaker 1: than I was paying under Donald Trump. Not having my
Speaker 1: private health insurance, no joy, No freedom there either, freedom enjoyed.
Speaker 1: Not to join a union if you don't want to.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to have, for example, the right
Speaker 1: to own the car that I want. But I believe
Speaker 1: in freedom, and I don't think I don't think car
Speaker 1: companies should be pressured to buy to produce vehicles that
Speaker 1: their customers don't want and lose four and a half
Speaker 1: billion dollars in a single year like Ford did, which
Speaker 1: puts at risk high paying career jobs for the people
Speaker 1: that work in the auto industry. Those are great jobs
Speaker 1: for people, And I don't want, you know, people messing
Speaker 1: with my dishwasher or my stove, or my washing machine
Speaker 1: or the light bulb of my choice. I noticed Kamala
Speaker 1: now is flipped and flopped again and fleiled on on
Speaker 1: the issue of plastic straws. I mean, is there anything
Speaker 1: she's not going to flip bond? You know, that's just
Speaker 1: in forty days. You know, she has flipped and flopped
Speaker 1: and flailed on nearly every major topic on Now we're
Speaker 1: being told that the woman that cast a tie breaking
Speaker 1: vote on taxing tips for service workers, that directly went
Speaker 1: after service workers and funded the irs to do it.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I'm again. I'm not taxing tips because
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is for that. The person responsible for the
Speaker 1: ev mandate in twenty nineteen ers, oh no, no, no, I
Speaker 1: don't want an ev mandate. The person that you know
Speaker 1: says it's the price of democracy to pay high energy
Speaker 1: prices and says she would ban cracking and drilling. Oh
Speaker 1: I didn't really mean that. I said it in twenty twenty. Well,
Speaker 1: she didn't say it in twenty twenty. She lied on
Speaker 1: CNN and that's sixteen and admitute. In twenty nine second interview,
Speaker 1: she co sponsored Medicare for All, universal health care that
Speaker 1: would eliminate private insurance. That's not freedom, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: like the freedom to live in safety and security and
Speaker 1: not have unveil. Harris Biden criminals and murderers and rapists
Speaker 1: and people would terroritize in the country. Either he wants
Speaker 1: to decriminalize illegal immigration, get free housing, health care, and education.
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned mandatory gun buybacks and the other
Speaker 1: all these other issues that she's flipped and flopped and
Speaker 1: flailed on. I'm just getting tired of all of it.
Speaker 1: Who is the real Kamala Harris. We're dealing with a
Speaker 1: ghost who just hied. We'll see her next week for
Speaker 1: ninety minutes. I guess we should be so blessed anyway,
Speaker 1: joining us now, a friend, Tony Abuddha is back and
Speaker 1: Tony great to have you, sir.
Speaker 2: How are you.
Speaker 4: I'm doing really well, Sean. Thanks for having me on
Speaker 4: this program. I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not recommending anybody get nicotine patches and
Speaker 1: nicorect gum or vaping or I'm not recommending any of
Speaker 1: that for anybody, you know, but there are zero nicotine vapes.
Speaker 1: I have one that's a mental it's actually very very good.
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of these. If I lived
Speaker 1: in New York, I wouldn't even be able to buy
Speaker 1: it there, right.
Speaker 4: That's true. But this administration is doing everything that's power
Speaker 4: to take away your freedom to vate, and as well
Speaker 4: as every American's freedom to choose flavored bates or any
Speaker 4: other flavored nicotine product that you know, I know, and
Speaker 4: the FDA notes is dramatically less harmful than smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 4: What this really amounts to, Sean, is I view this
Speaker 4: as an attack on working people. I mean, who are
Speaker 4: the people that smoke? People with low incomes now struggling
Speaker 4: from paycheck to paycheck, not people on Wall Street, people
Speaker 4: who work in the trades, not in Silicon Valley. But
Speaker 4: this administration is literally ripping these bait products, which are
Speaker 4: the least expensive and the most effective smoking cessation tool
Speaker 4: out in the hands of everyday, hardworking Americans. And as
Speaker 4: you noted earlier, they're trying to tax the amount of existence. Also,
Speaker 4: I mean, shouldn't we want a tax on less harmful
Speaker 4: products to be lower than the taxes on cigarettes. This
Speaker 4: is not about public health anymore, about restricting personal freedoms
Speaker 4: and trying to convince Americans that they should quit everything,
Speaker 4: which isn't a realistic public policy and it's not good
Speaker 4: for the people themselves.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this is part of a pattern.
Speaker 1: They claim that they're doing this, you know, all out
Speaker 1: of our best interests. But none of this is in
Speaker 1: our best interest, is it.
Speaker 4: No, it's not. I mean, Sean, the hypocrisy on nicotine
Speaker 4: goes beyond anything that you and I have seen in
Speaker 4: our lifetime. The same people who are pushing legalized marijuana
Speaker 4: are the same people that are trying to ban flavored
Speaker 4: babes and other nicotine products from them.
Speaker 1: By the way, how bizarre is that? I mean, because
Speaker 1: especially marijuana. I mean, look, I know there are some
Speaker 1: people that use it, and I guess can be functioning,
Speaker 1: high performing, functioning adults. But that's not the average person
Speaker 1: that I've experienced in my life. You know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people that I know can't. They end up wasting
Speaker 1: their lives away, and it does lead I have found
Speaker 1: it to be my own personal experience and the mixed
Speaker 1: studies on it. I don't want to get into a
Speaker 1: study versus study debate, but in my view, it is
Speaker 1: a gateway drug and once you like getting high, you
Speaker 1: got to keep getting high.
Speaker 4: Well, there's no question that has a psychoactive impact on
Speaker 4: the person. That does impact kind of how they perform.
Speaker 4: But nicotine, as you've experienced, is by comparison, relatively benign.
Speaker 4: But these again are the same people who are advocating
Speaker 4: for flavored cannabis gummies, but they refuse to even let
Speaker 4: adults choose a flavored vaping product which can help them
Speaker 4: quit smoking. They're also the same folks that are using
Speaker 4: taxpayer funds to give people tools such as free needles
Speaker 4: to continue using heroin, but they want to tax out
Speaker 4: of existence ethigarettes, the tool that people are using to
Speaker 4: quit smoking. None of this makes any sense. And this
Speaker 4: is where Americans can smell hypocrisy very very quickly, and
Speaker 4: even with fentanyl Sean, I mean, tax payer funded campaigns
Speaker 4: right in New York City telling people it's okay to
Speaker 4: use fentanyl as long as they used it safely. But
Speaker 4: this administration's FDA has refused to tell Americans they should
Speaker 4: even try using an e cigarette and they have to
Speaker 4: quit everything all together. I mean, that's just not real policy,
Speaker 4: it's not real science, and it demonstrates a desire to
Speaker 4: get rid of all things that are related to nicotine.
Speaker 2: You can get you can get addicted to anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's an epidemic now that is
Speaker 1: emerging in the country that people don't talk about, and
Speaker 1: that is you know, online betting. I mean you could
Speaker 1: you could literally be in a casino in your own
Speaker 1: home twenty four hours a day for most people, depending
Speaker 1: on what the state law is, and it's most states,
Speaker 1: you could be sports betting all day long too. I'm
Speaker 1: not against people doing it. I believe in the liberty
Speaker 1: and freedom to do it. But it is leading to
Speaker 1: an epidemic of addiction that I don't think we're paying
Speaker 1: enough attention.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's right, And I think that the
Speaker 4: key here is when you think about where this discussion
Speaker 4: is gone. In twenty nineteen, the FDA tried to convince
Speaker 4: President Trump to ban flavored e cigarette, saying that it
Speaker 4: would protect kids. But he did something a lot smarter.
Speaker 4: If you remember, he chose to raise the age to
Speaker 4: twenty one to buy any tobacco product. And since that decision,
Speaker 4: guess what, youth vaping in this country has plummeted. In fact,
Speaker 4: the numbers just came out again yesterday. Youth vaping year
Speaker 4: over year is down another twenty five percent and down
Speaker 4: seventy one percent since President Trump made that bold move
Speaker 4: when he was being told, oh, he has to get
Speaker 4: rid of flavored vaping. We can't trust Americans to make
Speaker 4: in making the correct choice. I mean, that's a huge
Speaker 4: victory and one that we were proud to be a
Speaker 4: part of. But unfortunately, since he left office, the bureaucrats
Speaker 4: at FDA, they've rubbed up their bann e cigarettes machinery
Speaker 4: and they're doing everything in their power to deny acts
Speaker 4: us in the marketplace. And they're doing everything they can
Speaker 4: right now. This is scary part to shut down the
Speaker 4: thirteen thousand small businesses that President Trump saved in twenty
Speaker 4: and nineteen, and the way they're doing it is even
Speaker 4: more concerning. They're going into mom and pop shops Sean,
Speaker 4: finding one flavored bape on the shelf and issuing a
Speaker 4: first time fine of twenty thousand dollars on a small business.
Speaker 4: I mean, the administration cannot pretend it's trying to bolster
Speaker 4: small businesses in this country when its agents are taking
Speaker 4: them down every day.
Speaker 1: Really is amazing. Well, we appreciate you talking about the
Speaker 1: issue of liberty and freedom from the Freedom and Enjoy

Speaker 1: Eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you'd like
Speaker 1: to join us, Mike in North Carolina. By the way,
Speaker 1: ballot's going out today in early voting ballots in North Carolina.
Speaker 2: What's going on? Mike? How are you glad you called? Sir?
Speaker 6: Hey, Shawn, thank you so much for taking my call. Yes,
Speaker 6: North Carolina is kind of a fickle state.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: We have Roy Cooper as a Democrat governor, and you know,
Speaker 6: we then we have a supermajority in the in the
Speaker 6: House that are Republicans, thank god, because if it wasn't
Speaker 6: for that, then he would uh uh we would be uh,
Speaker 6: you know, California here. But my question is is that
Speaker 6: we're getting ready you know they're getting ready to send
Speaker 6: out uh mail in ballots here, you know, and I
Speaker 6: want to do you know what you've been preaching. I'm
Speaker 6: a creature of habit. I've always voted on the day
Speaker 6: of voting. And how do I know, you know if
Speaker 6: I do mail in ballots? How do I know that
Speaker 6: my you know that I'm actually going to be counted?
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm I'm just going to tell you this. And
Speaker 1: I know this is for many a tough pill to swallow,
Speaker 1: and I have been beaten up because of it. But
Speaker 1: I'm going to reiterate my very strong position on this.
Speaker 1: We cannot start out election day down hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of votes. I'll give you a quick example. You remember
Speaker 1: the George Santos race when I used to live in
Speaker 1: New York. That happened to be my district. Okay, in
Speaker 1: that race, he's out of Congress. They have a runoff.
Speaker 1: The day the Democrats bank their votes. The day of
Speaker 1: the runoff, it's hailing its leading. And it happens to
Speaker 1: be a district with a lot of older people, older population.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get to the polls at a time that
Speaker 1: would have worked for them. That suppressed day of voting.
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen in these swing
Speaker 1: states on election day. It's not the system I want,
Speaker 1: I believe, But the only way we're going to change
Speaker 1: the system and get to paper ballots and proof of
Speaker 1: citizenship and voter ID and signature verification and chain of
Speaker 1: custody controls and updated voter rolls and partisan observers and
Speaker 1: every precinct in the country watching the voting all day
Speaker 1: and the vote counting all night, is to win elections.
Speaker 1: So it is my very very strong opinion that we
Speaker 1: have to deal with the system we're stuck with, not
Speaker 1: and the one we have, not the one we wish
Speaker 1: we had. And the only way to change it is
Speaker 1: to win, and don't wait, vote and bank your vote.
Speaker 6: Okay, I guess my question, let me clarify. I think
Speaker 6: my question is is how do I know if I
Speaker 6: vote by mail that that it's going to get to
Speaker 6: the right people and deedical.
Speaker 1: Well, you could actually drop off your mail in ballot
Speaker 1: to the you know, to the location where your voting
Speaker 1: takes place usually, so that's one way you can do it.
Speaker 1: But I would urge everybody in North Carolina. North Carolina
Speaker 1: is a very close state, and we're watching Georgia North Carolina,
Speaker 1: two very pivotal states. There must win states for Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and North Carolina will It will be a bell
Speaker 1: weather of how the night's going to go in just
Speaker 1: sixty days. So please I or encourage everybody vote early,
Speaker 1: embrace it, and you know, I think we'll do a
Speaker 1: lot better than you think. That's my hope in prayer,
Speaker 1: because if this is an inflection point for the country anyway,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate you called my friend.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I hope that answers a lot of people's questions. And
Speaker 1: for those of you mad at me, I understand because
Speaker 1: I have the same suspicions you do. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I want same day voting and national holiday paper ballots.
Speaker 1: I want it all and all the integrity measures I
Speaker 1: mentioned
