WEBVTT - PA Still In Play - September 6th, Hour 2 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.040 All right, thanks Scott Shannon. Hour two Sean Hannity's show, 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.120 Toll Free. It is eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn, 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.920 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.520 We have a lot coming up today and we are 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.880 only sixty days away till election day. We have early 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.320 ballots going out to North Carolina today, Mellon absentee ballots, 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.040 eleven days voting in Pennsylvania. And here we are on 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.600 the eve of all of this. A ton of news 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.440 breaking between yesterday and today as it relates to the 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:34.559 weaponization of our Justice Department. But one bit of good news. 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.120 I think it's good news. In my opinion, I frankly 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.520 think this entire you know, New York trial should be vacated, 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.960 I mean, based on the Supreme Court decision involving immunity anyway, 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.800 Judge Mrshawn and this ruling, said, cited the unique time 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.720 frame that this matter currently finds itself in, and scheduled 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.200 sentencing for November twenty six. He had previously planned to 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.680 hand down mister Trump's punishment September eighteenth, only seven weeks 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.320 before election day. This is not a decision the Court 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.440 makes likely lightly, but the decision is in. This is 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.360 the court's view best advances the cause and the interests 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.199 of justice. Now, this is on top of the fact 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:17.880 that you know, in spite of what has been a 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:24.759 longstanding DOJ policy not to bring political cases before elections. Well, 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.920 we saw this unfold in d C just yesterday, where 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.040 in the DC case that the judge is likely going 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.520 to allow damning evidence not in a trial, because the 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.600 trial is not going to take place in the DC 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.200 case prior to an election, which would be very prejudicial 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.200 towards Donald Trump. And this is where we now find ourselves. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:48.600 We have with US. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.520 Attorney General Ashley Moody is with us, and by the way, 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.639 she's suing the Biden administration for documents proving the federal 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.440 government is pushing criminal illegal immigrants and aliens out of 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.080 prison and into our communities. Alena Haba is the legal 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.359 spokeswoman for President Trump. Elena, let's start with you. Let's 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.560 start with Mershaun and today, and let's go back to 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.760 yesterday and the judge in DC in the January sixth 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.240 case that was just refiled. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.840 Yeah, well, Sean, you know, obviously we think the judge 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.079 made the first step, which was a right decision on 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.560 the hush money as we call it case in New York. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.919 But I agree with you completely. Number one, This case, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.079 along with January six should never have been brought. Number two, 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.440 We can't ignore the fact that these were all brought 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.560 as election interference cases. You just can't deny it because 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.880 the timing doesn't make sense for us to be inundated. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.400 It makes actually perfect sense. Let me be clear, for 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.760 us to be inundated held up in court as we 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.320 have only to now be sixty days out of an election. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.959 They've had failed Jack Smith's indictments that now he has 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.480 had the opportunity to refile only because of delays because 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.480 of the amount of evidence that they had their hands 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.040 in the cookie jar and mess up. Okay, is so inappropriate. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.800 That's on January sixth, and that case, along with this 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.640 hush money case in New York that we now have 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.560 a sentencing delay on, should frankly be completely wiped out. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:22.280 We're hearing rumblings of issues that have come out to 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:27.600 be true from Congress that there was authentic and donations 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.240 made to authentic. That is inappropriate. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.880 Look, Sean, you and I have. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.160 Talked about this ad nauseum. We cannot have a weaponized 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.040 justice system. The people need to believe that the dj 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.880 is there to protect the American people, not to be political, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.360 not to be arms of the Democrat Party or frankly 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.120 any party, the Republicans either, and that is what we 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.360 need to get our country back. But what they're doing 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.720 to President Trump in the middle of election, and what 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.440 they've done to this man for the last three and 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.920 a half years to get him off the campaign trails, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.560 what they did taking Biden off, putting Kamala in. He 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.520 is the most resilient person I've ever met in my life. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.440 And if you ever have any doubts about somebody who 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.880 can withstand any amount of trauma, any amount of attack, 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.640 and take care of this country, I don't know how 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.720 you could stand with anybody but Trump at this point. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.159 Sean, let me ask you, Attorney General Ashley Moody. I 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.320 think this if you look at this case and you 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.720 juxtaposed it with the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.719 that decision was very clear. In this case that took 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.560 place in New York. As I said, it was a 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:34.560 misdemeanor case whose statute of limitations had long since expired, 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.520 and Alvin Bragg comes up with this novel legal theory 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.400 and a crazy left wing political activist of a judge 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.400 goes along with this and anyway, but evidence presented in 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.760 that case was from the time when Donald Trump was president. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.200 How do you not vacate that verdict in that case completely? 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.360 Well, look, exactly right. This was a well documented judge 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.520 who had ties to donation to Biden's You describe him 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.400 as an activist judge, I would argue, people could say 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.359 the prosecutors were activists. And what concerns me? I think, yes, 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.520 having the sentencing delayed that, I think that is great news. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.120 But what's concerning to me is this decision on the 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.440 motion to vacate conviction is going to is set right 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.080 after the election, and you know as well as I do, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.240 that the media is going to continue to talk about 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.120 all of this as it leads right up and through 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.200 that election on November the fifth, to hit that next gate. 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.960 And how can that be the case in a country 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.800 where you have someone on the presidential ballot being the 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.480 discussion of a conviction of thirty four counts of convictions 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.320 which we will all call and I know you've called 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.800 them zombie charges. So you know, I think that it's 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.360 good news that this was set off, but the fact 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.880 that it's set off just after the election, you know 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.240 that the media is direct fund this motion to vacate 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.160 conviction is going to draw everyone's attention back to all 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.000 of the evidence that that judge let in, which as 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.440 a former judge myself and a former federal prosecutor, I 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.080 can tell you so much of that should have never 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.480 come in. And I think it's going to be argued 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.320 that look at the witnesses they were calling Hokik others 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.720 that were directly related to his official duties. So how 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.719 can you say so much of that evidence wasn't related 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.400 to what's going to come under that immunity ruling by 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.680 the Supreme Court. And the fact, I'll go back to 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.680 what Mizaba was saying, the fact that we're discussing this 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:39.159 right now, seven weeks out from elections shows that what 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:43.160 they have planned all along is happening. And while we're 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.800 focusing on this stuff, these cases, the evidence that should 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.960 have never come in in those trials, the charges that 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.400 should have never been tried in court. They're talking, they're 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.840 allowing their candidate to run around and make up lies 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.040 and basically say what he said, what Trump said, She's 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.839 copying all of his policies. And meanwhile, instead of talking 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.400 about policies, we're having that the campaign is having to 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.560 respond to these allegations that have already been discussed in 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.160 courtant now we're having to go through motion practices and 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.120 preparing for a sentencing. It's unbelievable the state that we 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.560 find ourselves as a country during this twenty twenty four election. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.520 There is not a legal scholar Oleina that I don't 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.560 know that doesn't see this being overturned on appeal, and 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.640 therein lies a huge problem is you can't appeal this 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.119 until sentencing takes place, and that would otherwise vindicate Donald 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.200 Trump before the election. So the law fair if you will, 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.880 or the weaponization continues through the election. That's problematic in 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:45.600 and of itself. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.280 It is the damage is done. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:48.440 You're right. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.880 Look, they controlled the narrative and the radical left media 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.160 definitely had their hand in this in making sure that 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.600 it was inundated with nothing but Trump legal issues, women, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.760 be it financial, be it their company in an attempt 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.920 to take him down. So, yeah, you can't ignore what 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.520 has happened for the last three years. I will say though, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.560 I think Shawn, and I know you'll agree with this. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.480 Who else could be where he is after all these attacks. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.520 It's impossible. Nobody could withstand this. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:19.880 The polls are. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.400 Unbelievable considering what he's withstood. So you know, I agree 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.880 with you. The damage is done. But more importantly, the 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.680 American taxpayers have had damage. They've been paying for this 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.760 nonsense through taxpayer dollars. They've been funding these das and ags. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.800 They elected these people and they said they were going 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.080 to get Trump and that's, frankly, exactly what they tried 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.240 to do. And now they've got mud on their face. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.679 So I think what I would like to do as 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.560 an American, as a mother, as a human being that 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.240 is sick and tired of this who is, get back 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.040 to policy and let the American people see and talk 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.920 about how the country was better under Trump, because this 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.720 lawfair is such a distraction. We all know what happened 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.520 Yester with Hunter Frankly is just because he knows he's 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.520 going to get a pardon. I know that you know 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.439 that it's a joke. And to act like he's a martyr, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.240 that was another thing I never thought i'd see, but 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.440 you know, they never cease to amaze me, this current administration. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.320 And it's a sad thing what they're doing. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:17.280 It really is. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.720 Let me, I'd be negligent if I didn't get into 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.080 what you're doing down here in Florida, the Free State 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.160 of Florida. And I have no idea why you're still 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.600 in the northeast Alina, But you know that's your choice. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.040 Everyone's free to live wherever they want. You can pay 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.080 all the taxes, and what's. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.880 That I am moving on to the Free State of Florida. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.720 Actually, I don't blame you, but Attorney General Moody, you 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.720 did file a lawsuit against the Biden Harris administration for 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.560 their failure to produce public documents responsive to the Freedom 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.880 of Information Act request filed by your office in March 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.640 seeking documents regarding the administration's policies permitting the release of 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.960 dangerous criminals into the US and following the release there 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.400 release from US prisons. But it's even worse than that, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.640 whether those Foxnews dot Com has been trying through the 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.240 Freedom of Information Act to get details on the nationalities 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.640 and backgrounds of people would territize that Harris and Biden 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.920 have allowed into this country unvetted. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.280 Absolutely, and so much of this is being done without 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.959 any knowledge by the American people. When I tell folks 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.080 that people that they have brought into our country specifically 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.360 to prosecute and put behind bars because they are committing 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:35.120 crimes against America, Harris and Biden have decided that instead 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.840 of immediately deporting these criminals out of our US prisons, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.040 they are just going to release some street into our community. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.200 That is the opposite of what every administration has ever done. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.520 So it's not just that they're letting people on the 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.360 Terraces watch List in gang members, traffickers flood into our 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.520 country over the border. They're taking those that they have 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.040 brought here and put into our prisons for criminal prosecutions, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.520 and when they're sentences over, they're saying, no longer are 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.719 we going to send them home. They're just going to 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.440 live among us. And you see how well that's working 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.280 out in Colorado. You're seeing how well that's working out 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.720 in New York City. In fact, Mayor Adams just said, look, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.160 we can't work with them, We can't support these people 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.440 because the administration, even when we arrest them, they won't 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.040 support them. So when you have liberal mayors stating we're 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.480 in a state of chaos and it's because we can't 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.880 support these people and they're not doing what they're required 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.720 by law to do. You know, we're in for a 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.960 world of hurt and my biggest fear, and I'll go 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.480 back to how we started this discussion. While we're sitting 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.160 here talking about cases. While we're sitting here talking about 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.600 presidential immunity and all of the conviction and all of 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.000 the cases that have been sought and targeted against President Trump, 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.439 we aren't highlighting this exactly, this that they are allowing 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.679 our country to rot from within and covering it with 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:56.000 like a candy coateored sugar of Paris, going around pretending. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:56.280 All is well. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.640 And that has to be the focus of this next 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.560 sets in weeks. What do you want the country to 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.040 look like? And this is happening, and I will continue 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.120 to fight to make sure the American people know it 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.720 because it's affecting law enforcement, it's affecting our community in Florida, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.000 and I know every state is feeling the same thing. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.280 It really is a quick break. Will come back more 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.439 on this ruling. Sentencing in the New York case now 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.440 has been put on a delay post election. We'll continue 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.400 with Alena Habba and also Ashley Moody, the Attorney General 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.280 of Florida, Attorney General, Great State of Florida, my Free 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.040 State of Florida. Ashley Moody is with us, and Donald 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.800 Trump's presidential legal spokesperson, Alena Hobba is with us. Elena, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.200 let's talk about where we go from here, and if 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.080 Donald Trump wins this election, I have to imagine that 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.160 all of this has to go away. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.840 But am I wrong? Am I thinking? 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.360 No, You're not wrong, and you're thinking obviously in sentencing 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.400 will be null and void. And I think the judge 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.600 acknowledge is that. I think that, you know, that's a 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.800 good first step. But yeah, no, these cases effectively are done. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.319 We know Georgia's binda and we know that they should 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.800 never have been brought. But yes, they would be completely 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.520 avoid and you know, it's what we shouldn't even have 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.160 to do that. But yeah, that's that's unfortunately what would happen. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.480 Yeah, what's your take? 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.200 Do you think this does have an impact on the 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.080 American people? 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.760 Attorney General Moodie will give you the last word. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.559 I think the fact that we have the Democratic candidate 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.560 Harris running around telling people she's basically supporting all of 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.040 the policies that Trump did during office that kept this 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.400 nation safe and protected our people. I think that's indicative 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.360 that she is trying to scan the American people and 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.320 distract us with all of this other stuff so that 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.400 people won't dig in and find out the truth. But 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.120 I'm telling you we're committed to doing that. I think 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.599 Lena is committed to doing that, and I'm hoping we 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.920 give it a final push up into November to make 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.520 that a reality so people know what they're voting for. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.600 That's all very, very important. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.760 We'll have a lot more on this on Hannity tonight, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.840 nine Eastern on Fox. We thank you Elina Haba. Thank 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.040 you Attorney General Ashley Moody. We appreciate both of you 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.680 being with us. Thank you so much. On this Friday. Anyway, 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.880 we proudly welcome back Tony Bood to the program. And anyway, 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.440 he's the executive director of VTA Vapor Technology Association. They're 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.240 at the forefront of defending the vape industry. And you 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.080 might say, well, Hannity, why do you care about this, 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.320 But well, we've seen you on TV, you vape. I'm like, okay, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.600 guilty is charged. Probably not the healthiest thing that I 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.600 do in my life, but you know what, I do 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.360 it so or I chew nicorette, I do that too, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.760 and I kind of go back and forth between the two. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:51.320 And anyway, long story short is I gave up smoking cigars. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.720 You know, many many years ago. I was smoking way 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.920 too many of them. And the same with when I 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.920 was a kid. I smoked cigarettes when I was eleven 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.000 twelve in a restaurant. It's ridiculous, But this is a 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.600 different time. My parents smoked, My sisters at the time 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.680 all smoked. They ended up all giving it up, as 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.360 it did. I gave it up when I was twenty. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.840 It never was a big I never really liked how 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.160 to smell. But you know, I don't know why. I 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.080 like a very low I use two different vapes, one 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.960 that has no nicotine at all and one that has 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:29.040 nicotine just a very low zero point three percent. And however, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.240 I believe in freedom, and this is an ongoing discussion 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.080 that we have had that the Party of Joy and 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.360 the Party of Freedom would take away and tax you 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.560 to death on the issue of choosing to vapor not vape. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.320 I would not recommend smoking, I would not recommend shrinking 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.080 and access I you know, for example, but I don't 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.840 want my guns confiscated with a mandatory buyback. That doesn't 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.560 sound like freedom and joy, you know, the price of democracy. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.400 Kamala calls high gas prices not a lot of joy 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.360 and freedom, paying you know, a buck fifty more gallon 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.520 than I was paying under Donald Trump. Not having my 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.680 private health insurance, no joy, No freedom there either, freedom enjoyed. 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.320 Not to join a union if you don't want to. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.760 You know, I'd like to have, for example, the right 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.880 to own the car that I want. But I believe 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.560 in freedom, and I don't think I don't think car 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.400 companies should be pressured to buy to produce vehicles that 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.920 their customers don't want and lose four and a half 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.480 billion dollars in a single year like Ford did, which 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.920 puts at risk high paying career jobs for the people 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.320 that work in the auto industry. Those are great jobs 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.280 for people, And I don't want, you know, people messing 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:49.080 with my dishwasher or my stove, or my washing machine 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.320 or the light bulb of my choice. I noticed Kamala 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.200 now is flipped and flopped again and fleiled on on 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.040 the issue of plastic straws. I mean, is there anything 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.960 she's not going to flip bond? You know, that's just 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.960 in forty days. You know, she has flipped and flopped 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.240 and flailed on nearly every major topic on Now we're 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.000 being told that the woman that cast a tie breaking 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.840 vote on taxing tips for service workers, that directly went 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.560 after service workers and funded the irs to do it. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.320 Oh no, no, no, I'm again. I'm not taxing tips because 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.159 Donald Trump is for that. The person responsible for the 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.240 ev mandate in twenty nineteen ers, oh no, no, no, I 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.359 don't want an ev mandate. The person that you know 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.600 says it's the price of democracy to pay high energy 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.199 prices and says she would ban cracking and drilling. Oh 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.480 I didn't really mean that. I said it in twenty twenty. Well, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.439 she didn't say it in twenty twenty. She lied on 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.200 CNN and that's sixteen and admitute. In twenty nine second interview, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.920 she co sponsored Medicare for All, universal health care that 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.359 would eliminate private insurance. That's not freedom, you know, I'd 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.919 like the freedom to live in safety and security and 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.400 not have unveil. Harris Biden criminals and murderers and rapists 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.240 and people would terroritize in the country. Either he wants 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.360 to decriminalize illegal immigration, get free housing, health care, and education. 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.480 You know, I mentioned mandatory gun buybacks and the other 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.479 all these other issues that she's flipped and flopped and 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.919 flailed on. I'm just getting tired of all of it. 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.439 Who is the real Kamala Harris. We're dealing with a 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.080 ghost who just hied. We'll see her next week for 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.639 ninety minutes. I guess we should be so blessed anyway, 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.240 joining us now, a friend, Tony Abuddha is back and 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:31.640 Tony great to have you, sir. 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:32.040 How are you. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.679 I'm doing really well, Sean. Thanks for having me on 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.600 this program. I appreciate it very much. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:41.520 You know, I'm not recommending anybody get nicotine patches and 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.720 nicorect gum or vaping or I'm not recommending any of 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.360 that for anybody, you know, but there are zero nicotine vapes. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.520 I have one that's a mental it's actually very very good. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.280 But you know, a lot of these. If I lived 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:57.920 in New York, I wouldn't even be able to buy 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.120 it there, right. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.560 That's true. But this administration is doing everything that's power 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.200 to take away your freedom to vate, and as well 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.520 as every American's freedom to choose flavored bates or any 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.159 other flavored nicotine product that you know, I know, and 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.399 the FDA notes is dramatically less harmful than smoking cigarettes. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.520 What this really amounts to, Sean, is I view this 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.959 as an attack on working people. I mean, who are 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.720 the people that smoke? People with low incomes now struggling 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.640 from paycheck to paycheck, not people on Wall Street, people 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.840 who work in the trades, not in Silicon Valley. But 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:38.440 this administration is literally ripping these bait products, which are 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.639 the least expensive and the most effective smoking cessation tool 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.679 out in the hands of everyday, hardworking Americans. And as 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.800 you noted earlier, they're trying to tax the amount of existence. Also, 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.040 I mean, shouldn't we want a tax on less harmful 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.880 products to be lower than the taxes on cigarettes. This 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:01.640 is not about public health anymore, about restricting personal freedoms 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.880 and trying to convince Americans that they should quit everything, 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.639 which isn't a realistic public policy and it's not good 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.200 for the people themselves. 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.280 Well, I mean, this is part of a pattern. 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.160 They claim that they're doing this, you know, all out 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.320 of our best interests. But none of this is in 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:21.520 our best interest, is it. 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.760 No, it's not. I mean, Sean, the hypocrisy on nicotine 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:26.919 goes beyond anything that you and I have seen in 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.840 our lifetime. The same people who are pushing legalized marijuana 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.439 are the same people that are trying to ban flavored 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.159 babes and other nicotine products from them. 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.639 By the way, how bizarre is that? I mean, because 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.000 especially marijuana. I mean, look, I know there are some 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.200 people that use it, and I guess can be functioning, 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.119 high performing, functioning adults. But that's not the average person 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.480 that I've experienced in my life. You know, a lot 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.960 of people that I know can't. They end up wasting 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.800 their lives away, and it does lead I have found 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.400 it to be my own personal experience and the mixed 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:01.879 studies on it. I don't want to get into a 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.639 study versus study debate, but in my view, it is 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.159 a gateway drug and once you like getting high, you 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.240 got to keep getting high. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.760 Well, there's no question that has a psychoactive impact on 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.840 the person. That does impact kind of how they perform. 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:23.280 But nicotine, as you've experienced, is by comparison, relatively benign. 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.840 But these again are the same people who are advocating 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.639 for flavored cannabis gummies, but they refuse to even let 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.399 adults choose a flavored vaping product which can help them 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.800 quit smoking. They're also the same folks that are using 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.680 taxpayer funds to give people tools such as free needles 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.560 to continue using heroin, but they want to tax out 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.320
