Speaker 1: Well, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2: Our two.
Speaker 1: We got a great guest to kick things off in
Speaker 1: Congressman Brandon Gill. Just want to say thanks. I'm Jason
Speaker 1: Chaffits again filling in for Sean. Is a little bit
Speaker 1: under the weather, but hey, we'll get him back back
Speaker 1: in the saddle soon. Honored that he would ask me
Speaker 1: to do this. It's truly a privilege. A lot of
Speaker 1: people want to do it very if you get to
Speaker 1: and again, thanks Sean for letting.
Speaker 3: Me do it.
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of stuff going on. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of craziness in the world. I'd like
Speaker 1: to say, there's always somebody doing something stupid somewhere. Plus
Speaker 1: just got a lot of flat out news happening here
Speaker 1: and right in the middle of it, really making a
Speaker 1: name for himself to cutt and slice and dice and
Speaker 1: asking the questions that I think most Americans want to
Speaker 1: have answered, is none other than Brandon Gill.
Speaker 2: Congressman. Thanks so much for joining.
Speaker 4: Us, Jason, Thanks for having me. It's good to be here.
Speaker 1: No, hey, look, you and I have had a chance
Speaker 1: to visit off air number of times. Super impressed with
Speaker 1: what you do and how you do it, And there's,
Speaker 1: like I said, there's so much to stray, you know,
Speaker 1: craziness and stuff going on. There's some simple, basic things
Speaker 1: that seem to me to be things that should be
Speaker 1: easy no brainers with their eighty ninety percent issues, even
Speaker 1: with Democrats, they're wildly popular. But somehow, some way, things
Speaker 1: aren't moving. And namely, I'm I'm pointing at the Save
Speaker 1: America Act. What what is going on there? How do
Speaker 1: we get this over the finish line to the President's desk.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I agree with you. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is something that the vast majority of Americans, including
Speaker 4: Democrats outside of Washington, DC, support and think is incredibly
Speaker 4: important in their right to think that, and it's something
Speaker 4: that the President has talked a lot about ensuring that
Speaker 4: our elections are done with in tech, that illegal aliens
Speaker 4: are not voting, that only American citizens are voting in
Speaker 4: American elections. I think it's particularly important after four years
Speaker 4: of Joe Biden. Remember, we passed the Save America Act
Speaker 4: out of the House multiple times and it's been hung
Speaker 4: up in the Senate, and there's all kinds of sort
Speaker 4: of excuses for that. You hear the Senate give as
Speaker 4: to why they can't get it done, and it comes
Speaker 4: down to, I think, ultimately, their unwillingness to utilize what's
Speaker 4: called a talking filibuster, which would be the procedural vehicle
Speaker 4: or the procedural route to get the Save America Act passed.
Speaker 4: There's been a ton of resistance over there, but that's
Speaker 4: the way they can do it, and so far they've
Speaker 4: been they've simply refused.
Speaker 1: That's what's so infuriating. You know, when they have time
Speaker 1: to go on recess, when they have time for the
Speaker 1: Easter break, when they did, when they have time for
Speaker 1: the fourth of July and everything else. As I said
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, I don't understand. And look, I
Speaker 1: served there. I was there eight plus years. I was
Speaker 1: chairman of the Oversight Committee. I understand how it works,
Speaker 1: and I also understand that pressure on the United States Senate.
Speaker 1: They have to vote, and if they don't pass it,
Speaker 1: then have the majority leader bring it up again. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's see how many times we can get these people
Speaker 1: to actually vote on it. Instead, we always get these
Speaker 1: lame excuses about well, it's the calendar and it takes time,
Speaker 1: and it's like well, really, I mean Mike Lee, Senator
Speaker 1: Mike Lee, your colleague there for the Senate in you know,
Speaker 1: the senator from Utah. He put out the great graphic
Speaker 1: and it was it was the calendar for the year,
Speaker 1: and it showed how many days off the Senate is
Speaker 1: going to take. And if they think they're going to
Speaker 1: go into August break and the fourth of July break
Speaker 1: and everything else without doing this, I think Americans and
Speaker 1: particularly the Republican base is just it's just infuriating.
Speaker 4: In their right to be infuriated. I mean, the Senate
Speaker 4: just is going to be out of DC for the
Speaker 4: next three weeks. If the primary argument against using the
Speaker 4: talking filibusters that you don't have enough floor time, then
Speaker 4: come here, work weekends, work nights, don't go home for
Speaker 4: three weeks, work through August recess. I mean you have
Speaker 4: to step back and think how important is this legislation.
Speaker 4: It's very important to the American people, and I think
Speaker 4: they're exactly right. And if the Senate realizes that, if
Speaker 4: they recognize how important that is, which they don't seem
Speaker 4: to or they at least don't seem to care, then
Speaker 4: I think they would say we ought to be back
Speaker 4: here in DC working and getting this thing done. I mean,
Speaker 4: I think this is the single most important piece of
Speaker 4: legislation the Senate could be working on right now. But ultimately,
Speaker 4: you know it from the outside, I think most people
Speaker 4: are looking at the Senate and they're saying, you know,
Speaker 4: it's one big, good old boys club, and you're not
Speaker 4: in it. Because it is so I think difficult for
Speaker 4: most people to understand why the Senate doesn't under doesn't
Speaker 4: get the urgency of passing the Save America Act whenever
Speaker 4: they have the ability to do it right now with
Speaker 4: the talking Philip Ustern to your point, Mike Lee has
Speaker 4: laid out this case very clearly, very eloquently for a
Speaker 4: long time to the other Senators so they understand what
Speaker 4: this process would look like. They just simply don't want
Speaker 4: to do it. And that's why the President has been
Speaker 4: so frustrated about this, and and frankly, I've been extremely frustrated.
Speaker 4: Most of my colleagues in the House have been extremely
Speaker 4: frustrated with this. But you know, the Senate, the Senate
Speaker 4: is going to start losing a lot of legitimacy if
Speaker 4: they don't get this done. You hear a lot of
Speaker 4: Senators talking about, you know, the value of the institution.
Speaker 4: We need to preserve the Senate is an institution, which
Speaker 4: means maintain this arcane rule, the syllab the way they've
Speaker 4: been using it currently. And the reality is they're going
Speaker 4: to erode the legitimacy of the institution by not passing
Speaker 4: key legislation like this.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing with something that's so simple,
Speaker 1: so widely popular, and no rule change. That's my point is,
Speaker 1: like Senator Lee is not asking for any rule changes.
Speaker 1: Explain to people just briefly. I know they've gone been
Speaker 1: through this a talking filibuster, versus it was news to me.
Speaker 1: Like when I got to Congress they were telling me
Speaker 1: about the hot line.
Speaker 2: I'm like, the hotline? What is the hot line?
Speaker 1: Well over in the Senate, if they want to pass
Speaker 1: something on of unanimous consent, they'll.
Speaker 2: Just literally call over to each office.
Speaker 1: You got any objection out of this, otherwise we're going
Speaker 1: to pass it with unanimous consent.
Speaker 2: They didn't even have to go to the floor to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: And so the idea that they actually senators have to
Speaker 1: actually go to the floor and speak, like mister Smith
Speaker 1: goes to Washington explain how this would work under Senator
Speaker 1: Lee's idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really simple, and you know, you can think
Speaker 4: about it this way. If the Senate wants to be
Speaker 4: the deliberative body, then they ought to actually deliberate legislations.
Speaker 4: But in order legislation to get to the President's desk,
Speaker 4: you know, you need a simple majority in the House,
Speaker 4: and then the Senate has to pass a bill. And
Speaker 4: there are two stages to get a bill out of
Speaker 4: the Senate into the President's desk. The first stage is
Speaker 4: the debate stage, and then the second stage is the
Speaker 4: actual voting on the underlying legislation. Whenever you hear about
Speaker 4: the sixty vote threshold that gets talked about all the
Speaker 4: time to get around the filibuster, that's for the debate stage.
Speaker 4: Whenever you get over to the second stage, you only
Speaker 4: need a simple majority in order to go from the
Speaker 4: first to the second stage. You can either have sixty
Speaker 4: senators vote for cloture to move it over to close debate,
Speaker 4: go and go to phase two, or the Senate can
Speaker 4: actually go The senators can actually go to the Senate's
Speaker 4: floor and run the clo by debating legislation actively on
Speaker 4: the Senate floor and each senator can can speak twice,
Speaker 4: they can speak for as long as they want so
Speaker 4: they can fill the buster. But ultimately, I mean, you
Speaker 4: can only speak for so long on the Senate floor
Speaker 4: each time before you're going to collapse. I mean you
Speaker 4: only speak for you know, ten twenty, I don't know
Speaker 4: how long they want to go, but ultimately, at some
Speaker 4: point that clock is going to run out. And that's
Speaker 4: what we're saying. Let's make the senators actually debate this
Speaker 4: and once that clock runs out, then you move over
Speaker 4: to the second stage. In other words, you can either
Speaker 4: do that sixty vote threshold or you can just debate
Speaker 4: the process, debate the legislation until the clock runs out.
Speaker 4: And that's the way where you can pass legislation with
Speaker 4: a simple majority. And that's what we're asking. And you know,
Speaker 4: remember during that process on a bill like this, I
Speaker 4: think it would be great if Democrats went to the
Speaker 4: Senate floor and spent twenty hours each explaining to the
Speaker 4: American people why a basic citizenship requirement is a bad
Speaker 4: idea whenever you're registering to vote. I think we will
Speaker 4: win that debate, but it's certainly the way to get
Speaker 4: this passed. And that's what we're.
Speaker 1: Asking for Yeah, it's not asking for too much have to.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got a National Parks Pass, you know,
Speaker 1: because we had a lot of National parks in Utah,
Speaker 1: five of them as a matter of fact. So I
Speaker 1: went to Zion National Park. This is like literally like
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, and I go there
Speaker 1: and you have to check in and show my National
Speaker 1: Parks Pass. And then the ranger says, oh, I need
Speaker 1: to see your ID. And I said, wait a second,
Speaker 1: I have a National Parks Pass. It was downloaded on
Speaker 1: my phone by you know, because I could get it
Speaker 1: on my phone. It's like, you know, one of those
Speaker 1: things you put in your wallet. And they said, oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we need to verify that it's you by showing your
Speaker 1: valid driver's license.
Speaker 2: And I thought, I'm just trying to.
Speaker 1: Go walk on a trail in Zion National Park and
Speaker 1: you got to see my ID. But for voting, Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, the world would fall apart. You'd be so discriminatory.
Speaker 1: Well are we being discriminatory on people not being able
Speaker 1: to use our national parks? I mean the arguments are absurd,
Speaker 1: and you're right forced to debate this. All right, let's
Speaker 1: move on because we're talking with Congressman Brandon Gill, who's
Speaker 1: one of the best. You know, I used to chair
Speaker 1: the Oversight Committee. But you, my friend, are doing some
Speaker 1: amazing things. Walk us through what these witnesses that you
Speaker 1: kind of exposed, if you will, on SNAP benefits, because
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, the benefits, the waste of the fraud,
Speaker 1: the abuse. You do a masterful job of exposingness.
Speaker 4: Well today I appreciate that. Today we had a hearing
Speaker 4: on the Doge Step Committee. It was on waste, fraud
Speaker 4: and abuse and SNAP. SNAP is the supplemental nutrition program
Speaker 4: food stands is what it really is, and what I
Speaker 4: wanted to better understand from one of the witnesses is
Speaker 4: some of the things that SNAP is used for that
Speaker 4: includes junk food and sugary sodas. So ially asked the
Speaker 4: witness today, could you, you know, tell me what SNAP
Speaker 4: means that supplemental nutritional program and assistance program. So just
Speaker 4: ask her what is the nutritional value of sugary sodas?
Speaker 4: And she didn't have much of an answer. Obviously she
Speaker 4: didn't want to answer it because there is no nutritional
Speaker 4: value to Coca Cola or any other sugary soda. But
Speaker 4: I think it raises the obvious question of should our
Speaker 4: tax dollars be funding sodas be funding people to get
Speaker 4: basically free cokes? And the answer I think most people
Speaker 4: would say is obviously not. But the Democrat witness didn't
Speaker 4: want to say that. And you know, it's really incredible
Speaker 4: whenever you asked just straight forward questions like that, does
Speaker 4: this benefit the American people? Does this make the American
Speaker 4: people more healthy? Is it good for American nutrition? The
Speaker 4: answer is obviously no, So why should we be paying
Speaker 4: for this stuff?
Speaker 2: Oh it's listen.
Speaker 1: You're doing a masterful job there asking this simple, obvious question,
Speaker 1: what is the nutritional value? We love it. Keep it up,
Speaker 1: you're doing great work. Congressman Brandon Gill really truly appreciate
Speaker 1: you joining the show today and thank you. And I
Speaker 1: want to remind everybody you can dial one eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine four one seven three two six nine one seven
Speaker 1: three two six nine four one sean and we'll take
Speaker 1: some questions after this break.
Speaker 2: Stay with us.
Speaker 1: We're going to take some calls the number one eight
Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one sean. That's one eight hundred ninety
Speaker 1: four one seven three two six and let's kick things
Speaker 1: off by going to Richard online four. Richard, I believe
Speaker 1: you're in Texas, So what's your.
Speaker 5: Question, Yes, sir, Yeah, I would just like to ask
Speaker 5: Congressman Gil. There's been a lot of discussion lately. I
Speaker 5: was just curious that the possibility exists for jd. Vance
Speaker 5: if he was willing to take control of the Senate,
Speaker 5: and how soon so that we can number one, of course,
Speaker 5: get the fayback passed, and secondly, be able to finally
Speaker 5: get the president's agenda through a push for codification of
Speaker 5: all of his business he's taken care of thus far,
Speaker 5: and be able to get his appointees all confirmed. Is
Speaker 5: that a possibility or is that just out there? I
Speaker 5: think Adams did it before, if I remember correctly. But
Speaker 5: I just would like to know if that is a possibility.
Speaker 1: The way you structure that, like Congressman Gil is off
Speaker 1: the line and out of the building here. So, but
Speaker 1: I used to serve me Congress. I used to be
Speaker 1: a chairman of the Oversight Committee. I think I can
Speaker 1: answer this question. I wasn't in the Senate, so somebody
Speaker 1: may I may stand corrected. But the role of the
Speaker 1: vice president as the president of the Senate can Actually
Speaker 1: his powers are limited in essentially being the tie breaking vote.
Speaker 1: It's not as if he can take over the Senate
Speaker 1: any sort of ouster would, I believe, require the majority
Speaker 1: of the majority in order to do that. Basically you
Speaker 1: become the leader or you become the Speaker when the
Speaker 1: majority then votes you into that position. So if they
Speaker 1: want to vote somebody out of that, there needs to
Speaker 1: be somebody else and then the body would vote on it.
Speaker 1: You saw these things play out in the House, but
Speaker 1: over in the Senate again, I just don't think that's
Speaker 1: necessarily going to happen. It depends how much pressure. But
Speaker 1: it's not as simple as jd Vance ousting Thun and
Speaker 1: then being able to pass and push the legislation forward
Speaker 1: like that. I think there is a great deal of frustration.
Speaker 1: A lot of things that have gone well, but a
Speaker 1: lot of things with the President's agenda, the lack of
Speaker 1: bills passing, and certainly the Same America Act just hasn't happened.
Speaker 5: Jason is just so maddening, you know, because and where
Speaker 5: you know, even fellas I have historical support, like like
Speaker 5: tender Cruz and others, where are they whenever you're in
Speaker 5: the outrage on not getting aid of this stuff done,
Speaker 5: and of course with Congress in general, just getting things codified.
Speaker 5: You know, they just don't seem almost useless, you know,
Speaker 5: because I mean they take off more. Yeah, and they
Speaker 5: actually work and this, if there's.
Speaker 1: This, if they're not all bad, some are good. Richard,
Speaker 1: We're going into break, but I already remind people to
Speaker 1: call in eight hundred ninety four one Sean eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine four one seven three two six. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: more calls coming up after the break. Stay with us
Speaker 1: with John Hannity.
Speaker 3: Check out the show twenty four to seven. Download it
Speaker 3: to your iPod.
Speaker 4: Bea Hannity insider at hannity dot com.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Jason Chief. It's filling in for Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: today and thanks for joining us. We're gonna take some calls.
Speaker 1: So the number it's an easy one. Eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: four one Sewan eight hundred nine four one seven three
Speaker 1: two six.
Speaker 2: You do that.
Speaker 1: You can spell Sean S E A N. So we
Speaker 1: want to get to some calls. We're going to first
Speaker 1: go to Delaware Line one. Patsy, Patsy, what's your question?
Speaker 6: Hello? I just wanted to call on President Trump to
Speaker 6: exercise his powers under Article two, Section three of the
Speaker 6: United States Constitution and drag these senators and congressmen back
Speaker 6: into session and make them do their job until it's done.
Speaker 6: With all due respect, I'm one of the eighty plus
Speaker 6: percent of people that are completely disgusted and set up
Speaker 6: that these congressmen just go on vacation every time they
Speaker 6: feel like it. And just one more thing, speaking as
Speaker 6: your average American worker, if my replacement isn't at work,
Speaker 6: I just can't get up and leave because I feel
Speaker 6: like it. If the bus isn't running, if the patients
Speaker 6: aren't being taken care of, if the manufacturing plant isn't moving,
Speaker 6: I can't just walk out.
Speaker 2: Is that Patsy?
Speaker 1: I think, Patsy, I think you reflect the frustration that
Speaker 1: people from coast to coasts are feeling.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I can tell you, having served in in the United
Speaker 1: States Congress, most of them are good people. They work hard,
Speaker 1: they work smart. But it's an incumbent upon the leadership.
Speaker 1: That's why they're called leaders to be able to say no,
Speaker 1: this is more important than that, and this is what
Speaker 1: we're going to have to do. I think what's infuriating
Speaker 1: to so many people, is they get these recesses. They're
Speaker 1: about to go on a three week recess. Now, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you many of these senators have what are called codels.
Speaker 1: A Congressional delegation trip is what that show is short
Speaker 1: for a codel. They will be traveling all over the world. Now,
Speaker 1: in part, that's their job, but it's not more important
Speaker 1: than the Save America Act. And the other thing is
Speaker 1: I expressed frustration earlier leadership.
Speaker 6: Is if willing, they're unable to do what it has
Speaker 6: to do. Then again, I'm asking President Trump because I
Speaker 6: know he will do it, and that's what we want.
Speaker 6: We want our representatives in their office doing the people's work.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: And there's so much of the agenda, so many of
Speaker 1: the appointments, so many of the things. I was glad
Speaker 1: to see the President delay the signing on the whatever
Speaker 1: that Affordable Housing Act or whatever it was, delayed the
Speaker 1: signing of it and say no, no, we're not going
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: He pushed that aside and said no, we need this
Speaker 1: Save America Act. He couldn't have been more clear. And
Speaker 1: I think everybody, there's so many people, millions, by the
Speaker 1: tens of millions stepped up and created this wave that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the Republicans got it and guarantee you
Speaker 1: almost every single I can't think of another one who
Speaker 1: would go and say, oh, i'm i'm I am here
Speaker 1: to support the president. I am supporting his agenda. He's
Speaker 1: the president. But what's the argument against it? That's the
Speaker 1: people that are holding out, that are Republicans. What's their
Speaker 1: argument against it. That's that's what's so mystifying. So Patsy,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you for the call.
Speaker 5: Again.
Speaker 1: The number eight hundred nine for one sean ninety four, one, seven, three, two, six,
Speaker 1: eight hundred numbers. So let's go to Sherry in Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 7: I uh downloaded from the state of California. The requirements
Speaker 7: to vote, and to say they are shocking.
Speaker 4: Is an understatement.
Speaker 7: It basically says, if you don't have a driver's license,
Speaker 7: then you don't have the last four of your Social
Speaker 7: Security number.
Speaker 8: California will issue.
Speaker 7: Their own unique identification number to you.
Speaker 8: And to register to vote, you check a box, you
Speaker 8: pinky promise that I swear I'm a citizen.
Speaker 7: But the best part is at the very bottom of it.
Speaker 8: It says that you cannot use your voter registration card
Speaker 8: to prove your US citizen for other programs. That's a
Speaker 8: hell of a kicker, if you ask me, I think
Speaker 8: all these senators should download these requirements in these blue states.
Speaker 7: And bring those with them and say how is this legal?
Speaker 8: There's no other than you promising checking that little box.
Speaker 8: I swear I'm a citizen.
Speaker 7: That's it. Who's following up on it, who's checking it?
Speaker 8: Anybody?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jerry, I think it's a system that is brought
Speaker 1: with it is fraud ridden because there is no trust.
Speaker 1: There is no verification process. You can go in get
Speaker 1: your driver's license and not do that. Remember, as I
Speaker 1: recall these states, some of them like California and others
Speaker 1: are allowing police officers to become police officers again not
Speaker 1: even necessarily citizens of the country. You could run for
Speaker 1: public office, not at the federal level, but you can
Speaker 1: run for local political office like a school board and
Speaker 1: not be a citizen of the United States. It's absurd.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely absurd. Again to Save America Act. There's
Speaker 1: a reason why voter identification is an eighty plus percent issue,
Speaker 1: and I a shame on those states that offer driver's licenses.
Speaker 1: They did it to say, oh, we're supposed to give
Speaker 1: driver's license because then they'll get insurance, and if they
Speaker 1: get insurance, then the roads will be safer and everything.
Speaker 4: Everything.
Speaker 1: It's it's an incentive, that's what's offered. It's an incentive
Speaker 1: to be here illegally, and it is a benefit that
Speaker 1: they're giving to people illegally, and I think it's wrong.
Speaker 1: So Sherry, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing that,
Speaker 1: and I do appreciate it. All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: the next one again, the number one Sean eight hundred
Speaker 1: ninety four one sean, and we're going to VICKI, who's
Speaker 1: in Utah.
Speaker 9: Hello, Jason, good to talk to you. I have a
Speaker 9: couple of questions for you. I hope you can answer
Speaker 9: far away. Okay, since the president has to be born
Speaker 9: in the United States, why doesn't that apply for the Congress.
Speaker 2: I wish it did.
Speaker 1: It would be something I would support, But you know,
Speaker 1: in the Constitution there are different requirements. It's interesting, like,
Speaker 1: for instance, when I first ran for Congress back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, I did not live in my
Speaker 1: congressional district. I was about just a couple miles outside
Speaker 1: the congressional district. But our founders and their wisdom said,
Speaker 1: you know what, what we're trying to do here is
Speaker 1: the congressional boundaries are going to change. We're not going
Speaker 1: to have people who can get jerry mandered out. You
Speaker 1: just need to be a citizen of the state, and
Speaker 1: then they have age requirements. But it is different in
Speaker 1: terms of the president.
Speaker 2: And I don't know why that exactly is, but it
Speaker 2: is what it is.
Speaker 1: But boy, that's one that I would actually look out
Speaker 1: really hard and say, yeah, I think you're probably right.
Speaker 1: Did you have another question, Vicky?
Speaker 9: When we have lawmakers that we have to live under,
Speaker 9: they have a duty to take care of the United
Speaker 9: States States and be America first, and where they're from
Speaker 9: other countries, they don't, they don't think that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's there's some of those principles I
Speaker 1: think are very true. And this may be an absurd comparison,
Speaker 1: so hope, but it's the one that pops into my mind.
Speaker 1: I heard somebody say once, nobody ever washes a rental car,
Speaker 1: and I if you really think about that and kind
Speaker 1: of digest it as I have, what it means is
Speaker 1: what it says is if you don't feel like it's
Speaker 1: your own, you're going to take care of it very
Speaker 1: differently than if you feel like, oh, I own this.
Speaker 1: And when you're a citizen of this country, you're born,
Speaker 1: you live in a particular area, you feel like you're
Speaker 1: from Utah. Oh Utah's my home. This is I'm an American,
Speaker 1: I was born in the United States. You're going to
Speaker 1: have a very different attitude and approach approach than if
Speaker 1: you were, say, from Bolivia. Nothing against Bolivians, nice people everyone,
Speaker 1: I've met all three of them. I think I've probably
Speaker 1: met from Bolivia. But you get My point is, they
Speaker 1: just don't have the same feeling. So your point is, Vicky,
Speaker 1: is very well taken. Thanks for calling into the Sean
Speaker 1: Andity Show. Appreciate it again. The number eight hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety four one Seawan eight hundred ninety four one Sean
Speaker 1: which is seven three two six. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to South Dakota Online three Harvey.
Speaker 2: What's your question, Hello.
Speaker 10: Jason, great appreciation for what you do there. I'm a
Speaker 10: Republican resident of South Dakota, John Soon State. I just
Speaker 10: got off the phone with him again off of his office.
Speaker 10: I should say urging him that the Save America Act
Speaker 10: is the most important legislation that he could possibly be thinking.
Speaker 10: It's time to not take a knee. It's time to
Speaker 10: go to the mat. We need that filibuster, We need
Speaker 10: his strength to be able to lead that. And if
Speaker 10: he can't, we should remember John Cornyan couldn't for Texas
Speaker 10: and they changed their representation there. So I'm merging all
Speaker 10: Southcote call soon. This is why we have the Republican majority.
Speaker 10: Let's get this done.
Speaker 1: Harvey well said, you know, I really do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: There seems to be a recurring theme here.
Speaker 2: Hmm, what is it.
Speaker 1: It's the idea that the Senate needs to do its
Speaker 1: job and pass this bill, and if not, I want
Speaker 1: to hear these senators stand up and make a case
Speaker 1: against it, because they won't do that. But the majority leader.
Speaker 1: You know, with all due respect, I'm friends with John Thune.
Speaker 1: I've known John Thune. I served at the same time
Speaker 1: that John Thune served, and so I wanted to have success.
Speaker 1: I want the Republicans to have success about I want
Speaker 1: him to actually force the issue and use every possible
Speaker 1: tool that he can this. You know, we've been talking
Speaker 1: about the filibuster. Just make them talk, don't give them
Speaker 1: the easy out, and don't go on a three week vacation.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'll get in trouble with my colleagues work recess.
Speaker 1: That sorry, but that's it's just not the time for it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to stay there and do your work,
Speaker 1: and that's what you signed up to do. So, Harvey,
Speaker 1: I think you make a great point. I think it's
Speaker 1: echoed across the country and it's why we get so
Speaker 1: many of these calls. Thanks for calling South Dakota. My
Speaker 1: wife and I were going there this year. We already
Speaker 1: got it on the calendar. Only two states. I've never
Speaker 1: been to Mississippi for whatever reason, and South Dakota. So
Speaker 1: I figure the year too, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1: I want to go see Mount Rushmore in person with
Speaker 1: my own eyes. So I look forward to being up
Speaker 1: there and in South Dakota later this summer.
Speaker 2: Thanks Harvey.
Speaker 1: All right, call in line eight hundred nine four one
Speaker 1: sean eight hundred ninety four one seven three two six.
Speaker 1: Let's go to line five out of Georgia. This is Bill, Bill.
Speaker 1: What's on your what's on your mind?
Speaker 2: Bill?
Speaker 11: Well, First of all, thank you very much. I love
Speaker 11: the analogy about nobody washes a rotal car. I've never
Speaker 11: heard that one about.
Speaker 9: Chuck about Chuck os.
Speaker 11: I'd like to know about term limits. Why Congress both
Speaker 11: houses Senate passed term mo liments for themselves. I mean,
Speaker 11: there's no reason we should have career politicians like Chucky
Speaker 11: Humor and the other gang. Nancy Pelosi, yeah one, yes, yeah,
Speaker 11: there's no reason you should be there forever and never
Speaker 11: on man two terms. Thank you very much for playing out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, Bill, I'm one hundred and ten percent with you.
Speaker 1: This is one of the biggest issues. I've heard Governor
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis talk a lot about this as well. Look,
Speaker 1: we put a term limit on the president, and we
Speaker 1: do so for a reason, and I think it should
Speaker 1: be not only for the Senators and the House members,
Speaker 1: it also ought to be for senior staff.
Speaker 2: The senior staff. Let me tell you quick story.
Speaker 1: It's more of a legendary story or other than an
Speaker 1: actual person. But as the story goes, you had a
Speaker 1: member of Congress, and the member of Congress is going
Speaker 1: to meet with a Cabinet secretary important meeting. It set
Speaker 1: it up and went over to the to the go
Speaker 1: visit with the cabinet secretary, and when he got there,
Speaker 1: the cabinet secretary wasn't there, but only the senior staff
Speaker 1: was there.
Speaker 2: And the Congressman.
Speaker 1: Gets all frustrated and decides, Ah, you know what this is,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to meet with the B team. I
Speaker 1: want to be I want to meet with the player.
Speaker 1: I want to meet with the cabinet secretary. And in
Speaker 1: his exasperation he gets stands up and to leave, and
Speaker 1: the senior staff finally calms him down, and the senior
Speaker 1: person of the senior staff said, sir, you are right.
Speaker 2: We are the B team.
Speaker 1: We be here before you, we be here after you,
Speaker 1: and we be the ones to actually make the decisions
Speaker 1: around here. That is so true, Bill, I am telling
Speaker 1: you that is exactly the way it works.
Speaker 2: That's those scenes.
Speaker 1: Your staff within an administration, they all believe that they
Speaker 1: can just wait them out. You know, you get somebody
Speaker 1: tenacious like a Brandon Gill or somebody like that, and
Speaker 1: guess what if you just wait them out, then they
Speaker 1: could or wait out President Trump, just eat up the clock,
Speaker 1: then they can they can just get around it. And
Speaker 1: it is so fundamentally wrong. I think that should happen
Speaker 1: in the state legislatures. I think it should happen with
Speaker 1: the governors. I happen to live in a state of Utah.
Speaker 1: No term limits on governors, no term limits. They it's
Speaker 1: just wrong, and I think it should be for senior
Speaker 1: staff House Senate. We have it for the president, So
Speaker 1: make it happen. Bill, you bring up a good point.
Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody who's listening on Georgia.
Speaker 2: Stay with us.
Speaker 1: We're going to be right back. We got more with
Speaker 1: Sean Handy's show right after this.
Speaker 3: Are you sick of fake news, Well we've got you covered.
Speaker 5: Kennedy watches here and has the news you need.
Speaker 3: John Hennedy.
Speaker 1: Two big actually or big wins, two big categories of
Speaker 1: victories for President Trump at the Supreme Court. We haven't
Speaker 1: talked about that today, but we're going to at the
Speaker 1: after the top of the hour, Gene Hamilton, the President
Speaker 1: of America. First Legal, We're going to talk about Second
Speaker 1: Amendment rulings, and we're also going to talk about some
Speaker 1: really important stuff on immigration. So if you want to
Speaker 1: get caught up to speed and understand how the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: one of the most important things the president does right
Speaker 1: appoint for Supreme Court justices. Well, big rulings, immigration, guns,
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. The top of the hour.
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Chaefitz filling in for Sean Hannity.
