Speaker 1: We will come out to your city way gets and
Speaker 1: saying you a conscious will all be entire high little
Speaker 1: tell and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 2: A Yuni, I come along.
Speaker 3: Starting on day one, we'll implement the rapidsers of bold
Speaker 3: reforms to restore our nation to full prosperity.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go full prosperity.
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: Shall we serve this country a purpose and integrity and
Speaker 3: she always will.
Speaker 4: And you're not going anywhere, kid, because we're not gonna
Speaker 4: let you go.
Speaker 5: And I ask you to remember the context in which
Speaker 5: you exist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did that. Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 1: Come to your city, don't away.
Speaker 4: I gets talas and saying you a conscious sunt.
Speaker 3: The New Sean Hennity Show more I'm the scenes, information
Speaker 3: on freaking news and more boned inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 3: See you're right here for our final news round up
Speaker 3: and information overload.
Speaker 4: I just round up information overload, our toll free, our
Speaker 4: numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If you
Speaker 4: want to be a part of the program. The mystery
Speaker 4: drone issue continues and a lot of the speculation you
Speaker 4: have to admit comes directly from the federal government because
Speaker 4: they keep giving different answers, or they keep saying they
Speaker 4: don't have answers, and then they do have an answer,
Speaker 4: and then it's well, we think they're being operated legally. Uh,
Speaker 4: I mean, this is insane. John Kirby literally said, the
Speaker 4: drones we're talking we're not talking about your hobby is
Speaker 4: drone here the size of a bus flying at low
Speaker 4: altitudes with loud engine noises that sound like a Harley Davidson.
Speaker 4: And they're saying these drones are being operated in in
Speaker 4: a lawful and legal way. Here's John Kirby that he
Speaker 4: thinks he's being cute. The drones are being operated in
Speaker 4: a lawful and legal way by who John, Who's operating them? Anyway? Listen, Well,
Speaker 4: I would repeat what.
Speaker 6: We've said yesterday and last night in a multiple agency
Speaker 6: statement that we have taken a serious look at this.
Speaker 6: We have gone through five thousand some odd sightings, we
Speaker 6: have added detection capabilities to the region, We've even sent
Speaker 6: up visual observers, and everything we're seeing to date, our
Speaker 6: assessment tells us that these are commercial drones, hobbyist drones,
Speaker 6: or law enforcement drones. All operating legally and lawfully.
Speaker 4: I don't know hobbyists that have drones the size of
Speaker 4: school buses. I don't believe him. I think he's lying. Now.
Speaker 4: If it was being operated legally and in a lawful way,
Speaker 4: well why over right Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio?
Speaker 4: I believe you know. Why did they have a news
Speaker 4: report on Whio on drones forcing airspace to be blocked?
Speaker 7: Listen heving small drones forced right PAD officials to close
Speaker 7: the airspace over the base four hours this weekend.
Speaker 4: Thanks for staying up with us tonight. I'm John Midell.
Speaker 7: We've been reporting on drone sightings like this across the
Speaker 7: country recently. New Center sevens Malague Patterson is live outside
Speaker 7: the base. Malik, you talked to one man who's concerned,
Speaker 7: and this sayn't the first time he's hearing about this, John.
Speaker 8: He said he's seen people talking about it on social
Speaker 8: media all weekend. New Said seven reached out to Wright
Speaker 8: Patterson Air Force Base to talk about the airspace block.
Speaker 8: Eage base official said the base airspace was blocked for
Speaker 8: four hours late Friday night and into Saturday morning. They
Speaker 8: said they did this because of small drones and that
Speaker 8: none of the inclusions impacted base residents, facilities, or assets.
Speaker 8: Base official said they are still monitoring the air for
Speaker 8: anything like this in the future. We've told you about
Speaker 8: the mysterious drone sightings across the country recently, including at
Speaker 8: other military bases. I talked to one man who's been
Speaker 8: following this on the news. He told me what he
Speaker 8: thinks about this now that is in the Miami Valley.
Speaker 9: Obviously that's a big concern for national security. Is like
Speaker 9: you have these FPV drones, people can just fly them
Speaker 9: around and understifted airspace. If they're shutting it down, then
Speaker 9: it kind of makes you wonder, like what are they
Speaker 9: worried about here?
Speaker 8: We also wanted to know if ritpat had any contact
Speaker 8: with Department of Defense or any other federal agencies. If
Speaker 8: they spokesperson reached back out to us and told us
Speaker 8: that they have no clue or no idea. If those
Speaker 8: higher up conversations are being had in Fairborn, Moviie Patterson,
Speaker 8: you Center.
Speaker 4: Seven, all right, then spotting is now over Great Britain
Speaker 4: as well. The US Air Force admitting last month the
Speaker 4: drones had buzzed over three of their un CA bases,
Speaker 4: and reports that American nuclear weapons are being deployed to
Speaker 4: one of them for the first time since the Cold War,
Speaker 4: have heightened fears that Russia could be behind it. Again.
Speaker 4: We don't know a whole lot about it. We just don't.
Speaker 4: And we do know that your government is not being
Speaker 4: transparent that part we know, you know. NYPD discovered massive
Speaker 4: drones amid sightings in the New York area. One of
Speaker 4: them can be explained. New Jersey residents say they're suffering
Speaker 4: alarming symptoms after encountering with these drones. It's scaring the
Speaker 4: hell out of people, and they just they're just very
Speaker 4: nonchalant about it. They just don't care. I'm an EUAV
Speaker 4: pilot and here's what happened when I tried to fly
Speaker 4: near one of these mystery drones. The pilot of fans
Speaker 4: of a paranormal investigation Anyway witness his own drone crash
Speaker 4: and burners. He attempted to steer it near one of
Speaker 4: the many still unexplained drone UFOs. He said, when this started,
Speaker 4: I tried to apply my drone over it. Is it true?
Speaker 4: I have no idea. I'm just telling you what's being reported. Anyway.
Speaker 4: Maybe somebody that can shed light on. It knows a
Speaker 4: lot more about this than me. Is Lou Elizondo, former
Speaker 4: head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOs,
Speaker 4: now now known as Unidentified Anomalist Phenomenon. I think I
Speaker 4: prefer UFO. He's also the author of Imminent Inside the
Speaker 4: Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs. Anyway, Lou, good to have you.
Speaker 4: How are you, sir?
Speaker 2: I'll do it quite well, sir. Thank you for having me,
Speaker 2: and a big thank you to your wonderful audience.
Speaker 4: So I'm assuming that this is a big issue for
Speaker 4: you and you know a lot more about this than
Speaker 4: I do. What do you know about this?
Speaker 2: Well, it is a huge issue. And look, you're absolutely
Speaker 2: right when you have somebody that is representing the White
Speaker 2: House from a public affairs perspective doubling down and trying
Speaker 2: to convince the American public and our elected officials and
Speaker 2: our law enforcement officials that these are just hobbyists and
Speaker 2: typical drones demanned aircraft. Meanwhile, you're shutting down controlled US
Speaker 2: airspace over none other than right Patterson Air Force Base.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget this is on the context as well
Speaker 2: of these things being seen over Langley Air Force Base.
Speaker 2: Andrews Air Force Base, Picatinny Arsenal. You name it right,
Speaker 2: So send to the military installations and nuclear facilities. I
Speaker 2: think it's an abomination, to be honest with you, that
Speaker 2: anybody in a position of authority would have the gall
Speaker 2: to try to pawn this off as being just regular
Speaker 2: and routine. It is not regular and routine, and it
Speaker 2: is not regular routine for drones to be flying at night,
Speaker 2: particularly the ones that are the size of an suv
Speaker 2: or larger, and some other navigation lights if they are
Speaker 2: even navigation lights, are not consistent with the strobe pattern
Speaker 2: of normal conventional aircraft.
Speaker 4: And last, but not least, well, we also have had
Speaker 4: eyewitness accounts, including elected officials, that say that they have
Speaker 4: the capability of moving forwards and backwards. Uh, not something
Speaker 4: that is capable of in an airplane right.
Speaker 2: In fact, more than that, there's some reports of these
Speaker 2: things even coming out of the water and and and
Speaker 2: stalking a US Coastguard cutter up to Tenney, things out
Speaker 2: in the middle of the ocean. So why nobody's taking action,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can tell you that I think
Speaker 2: right now the White House has got a real issue
Speaker 2: on their hands with this we have been saying for
Speaker 2: seven years now that there is a very very serious
Speaker 2: vulnerability with our control of our skies, particularly over controlled
Speaker 2: US air space. We do not have situation awareness period.
Speaker 4: And we saw that with Okay, let's say you're right,
Speaker 4: and let's say this, this might involve a hostile you know, nation,
Speaker 4: a geopolitical of foe of ours US.
Speaker 2: Then also be could also be our technology.
Speaker 4: That's well, but I suspect the lack of urgency would
Speaker 4: tend to lend itself to that conclusion, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: So not necessarily so a lot of times, I mean.
Speaker 4: If this was China in Russia, you don't think it'd
Speaker 4: be all hands on deck and our military shooting these
Speaker 4: suckers out of the sky because we'd have to well.
Speaker 2: We didn't shoot really to look how long we waited
Speaker 2: to shoot the Chinese balloon that was over our sky. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: that's you know, what you're saying is logical, but unfortunately
Speaker 2: this particular I guess administration doesn't really pay attention to logic.
Speaker 2: And you're look, there's there's a whole slew of inconsistencies here.
Speaker 4: So you wait a minute, you think there's a possibility
Speaker 4: that these could be thrones from hostile regimes and that
Speaker 4: they're they're they're giving cart blots to fly over military
Speaker 4: installations and entire states in our country, and they're doing
Speaker 4: it with impunity, and our military is not doing a thing.
Speaker 4: You think that's.
Speaker 2: Possible, Well, it is possible, sure, and I hope that's
Speaker 2: not the case, but it is possible, especially if you
Speaker 2: can't do anything about it.
Speaker 4: There's well, what do you mean you can't do anything
Speaker 4: about it? You can shoot the sucker out of the
Speaker 4: sky and blow it into smith ens.
Speaker 2: Well, one would certainly think so, right, And there's also
Speaker 2: non kinetic ways we can do it with. We have
Speaker 2: electronic warfare capabilities. I can put these things to the ground.
Speaker 2: The question is why are they not doing it? And
Speaker 2: is it considered a provocation? I personally think that these drones,
Speaker 2: most of these drones are probably ours. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's foreign adversarial. I do think it is if you
Speaker 2: look at the way these things can loiter. They're using
Speaker 2: a battery powered operated Most drones fly for fifteen to
Speaker 2: twenty minutes max. And their range is never over the horizon.
Speaker 2: If you want to have something fly over the horizon, Sean.
Speaker 2: What you need is a huge infrastructure to do it.
Speaker 2: You need either aircraft to repeat signals, you need satellites,
Speaker 2: you need personnel resources, infrastructure. These are not hobbyists. These
Speaker 2: our very sophisticated pieces of equipment.
Speaker 4: And in some well, how a hobbyist doesn't have a
Speaker 4: drone size of a bus, does he?
Speaker 2: No? No, And more importantly, it doesn't have Most commercial
Speaker 2: drones don't have the ability to defend themselves. There's several
Speaker 2: videos now of other drones coming close to some of
Speaker 2: these larger ones, these crafts and completely losing power and
Speaker 2: just falling out of the sky, and then he seems
Speaker 2: disappearing into the night.
Speaker 4: So see, let me go back to my earlier question.
Speaker 4: The fact that there's such a lack of urgency in
Speaker 4: this tells me that they've got to be our drones.
Speaker 4: There's no way that this would be a foreign entity
Speaker 4: flying school buses or drones. The size of school buses
Speaker 4: over our country, in the numbers that are being reported
Speaker 4: without some type of military response, that seems impossible to me.
Speaker 4: Even as corrupt as the Biden regime is, I still
Speaker 4: think it's impossible.
Speaker 2: I would never underestimate incompetence. And what I'm saying this
Speaker 2: is true in any organization or administration. I'm not just
Speaker 2: picking on this particular one. And there have been many, many,
Speaker 2: many examples. That's my time in the government. I have
Speaker 2: seen the dysfunction firsthand. A lot of times agencies aren't
Speaker 2: talking with the other agencies. You have Title ten, Title
Speaker 2: thirty two, Title fifty organizations. Then you've got the state,
Speaker 2: local tribal authorities. Then they're not talking to each other.
Speaker 2: You have the Bureau that's running the investigation, but with
Speaker 2: the help of the Department of Energy, you also have
Speaker 2: dhs FAA. It's a real big hodgepodge, and unfortunately, dysfunction
Speaker 2: can answer a lot of that. Look again, let's look
Speaker 2: at the Chinese spy balloons as an example. Right. We
Speaker 2: only shot it down after it passed over our country
Speaker 2: and did whatever it needed to do and scoop up
Speaker 2: the intelligence needed to scoop up. And only when there
Speaker 2: was a public outcry did we actually do something about it. Right,
Speaker 2: and we did it out in the middle of the ocean.
Speaker 2: There are I mean, there.
Speaker 4: Might be a top secret military mission. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: been a lot of speculation and I want to be
Speaker 4: very clear, this is speculation that maybe some radioactive material
Speaker 4: have been detected or missing or some like that, and
Speaker 4: this is a search for it, and it's not something
Speaker 4: they want the public to be made aware of. Why
Speaker 4: wouldn't they just say, no, these are our drones. They're safe,
Speaker 4: they're not going to fall from the sky, and we're
Speaker 4: doing military reconnaissance all in the name of national security,
Speaker 4: and for now it's top secret. Why don't they just
Speaker 4: say that.
Speaker 2: Right, exactly exactly, That's exactly my point. Why not just
Speaker 2: be level with American people, say, look, there's things that
Speaker 2: we can't tell you specifically because they involve national security.
Speaker 2: At a certain point in the near future, we will
Speaker 2: let you know, let us get a handle on this operationally,
Speaker 2: and then we'll let you know what's going on. But
Speaker 2: they're not doing that. What they're doing is they're passing
Speaker 2: the buck and you're pointing at each other and you're saying, no,
Speaker 2: these are drones, are hobbyists. And then you've got some
Speaker 2: people in the FBI of all places, saying, no, these aren't.
Speaker 2: We don't know what the heck these are. We don't
Speaker 2: know where they're from, and we don't know their capabilities,
Speaker 2: and yet somehow somebody in the White House and the threat.
Speaker 4: All right, quick break, more on the latest with these drones.
Speaker 4: Lou Elizondo's with us former head of the Pentagon program
Speaker 4: responsible for the investigation of UFOs. Your calls on the
Speaker 4: other side, eight hundred and nine foot one, sean, as
Speaker 4: we continue. All right, we continue now, Lou Elizando's with us,
Speaker 4: former head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation
Speaker 4: of UFOs. If I wanted to buy a drone such
Speaker 4: as this, the size of a bus, would I be
Speaker 4: able to find one?
Speaker 2: I'm sure if you went to Russia you probably could,
Speaker 2: but this springs to another.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not going to Russia. Could I buy one
Speaker 4: in the United States?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 4: Could the average hobbyist buy one of these types of drones,
Speaker 4: because the hobbyists that I know there, I know, for example,
Speaker 4: a friend of mine went to drone school and he's
Speaker 4: a drone, drone camera operator for Fox News, and he's
Speaker 4: really good at it. But it's a little baby drone.
Speaker 4: It's nothing like this. Correct, Okay, you have and there
Speaker 4: are ordinances that prevent and rules that apply when when
Speaker 4: flying these drones. But the question is if is it
Speaker 4: possible for an American to own and operate a drone
Speaker 4: the size of a bus?
Speaker 2: You would probably need special permissions because those are very
Speaker 2: specific type and very capable type drones that could be
Speaker 2: weaponized very easily. Again, we get to loiter ability. Some
Speaker 2: of these are been hovering for five to six to
Speaker 2: seven hours at a time. We don't have drones that
Speaker 2: do that. You're talking a very specific military application type drone.
Speaker 2: And then you're talking about being able to fly over
Speaker 2: the horizon and possibly tens, if not even one hundred miles,
Speaker 2: and it's not fixed wing, that means it's rotary wing.
Speaker 2: You're talking a very sophisticated, very expensive platform. And Okay,
Speaker 2: I can find I can see you're a multi multimillionaire
Speaker 2: and you buy one of these things, but you're not
Speaker 2: going to have the ability to deploy these completely anonymously
Speaker 2: all over the continental United States, over sensitive military installations,
Speaker 2: deploy them, to fly them, and then retreat them and
Speaker 2: maintain them without anybody ever seeing you come on. That's
Speaker 2: that's that's that's impossible.
Speaker 4: And again back to the lack of urgence. He tells
Speaker 4: me that they know everything about these drones and they're
Speaker 4: not telling us, and it's probably theirs anyway, Lou, I've
Speaker 4: got I got a roll though, man appreciate it. Thanks
Speaker 4: for your time. Eight hundred nine four one Shawn is
Speaker 4: our number. You want to be a part of the
Speaker 4: program keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day Hannity
Speaker 4: is on by twenty five now to the top of
Speaker 4: the hour. Eight hundred nine one Shawn number. You want
Speaker 4: to be a part of the program. One way to
Speaker 4: save money with this horrific Harris Biden economy is and
Speaker 4: not sacrifice service is switching to my cell phone provider,
Speaker 4: a veteran owned company. It's called Pure Talk. They use
Speaker 4: the exact same five G network as AT and T, Verizon,
Speaker 4: T Mobile. They use the same cell towers as the
Speaker 4: big carriers. You get the same exact service for half off.
Speaker 4: That's the beauty of Pure Talk. I know these companies.
Speaker 4: They offer great deals, like we're gonna give you a
Speaker 4: free phone, you better check the fine print. Is that
Speaker 4: free phone means that you're going to sign a multi
Speaker 4: year deal that commits you to that company, and you'll
Speaker 4: probably be placed in their one hundred dollars a month
Speaker 4: unlimited plan. You'll pay a thirty five dollars activation fee,
Speaker 4: and meanwhile, my cell phone provide a Pure Talk. They'll
Speaker 4: give you your brand new iPhone with all the bells
Speaker 4: and whistles you need. You'll get unlimited talk, unlimited text.
Speaker 4: You'll get all the above, and you get all the bells,
Speaker 4: you get all the whistles, you get unlimited talk and
Speaker 4: text and fifteen gigs of data, and you get mobile hotspot,
Speaker 4: and you get it for half off at just fifty
Speaker 4: bucks a month and no activation fee and no contract
Speaker 4: to sign I theiny't make the switch. It's simple dial
Speaker 4: pound two fifty, say the keyword save now. Do it now,
Speaker 4: you save an additional fifty percent off you first month.
Speaker 4: That's pound two fifty keywords save now from our friends
Speaker 4: at pure Talk, but the same service America's wireless company.
Speaker 4: So there's been a lot of talk about, all right, well,
Speaker 4: what do you do about the trend Degua Venezuelan gang
Speaker 4: that apparently is getting more violent by the day. It
Speaker 4: is now it's been identified in sixteen states and they're
Speaker 4: getting more bold. And I read a report yesterday that
Speaker 4: assassinations are probably the next step of this gang. If
Speaker 4: their past is any indication of what they will do
Speaker 4: in the future. And there was an arrest in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 4: You might remember. It became a big issue in the campaign.
Speaker 4: You might remember the appearance of JD Vance armed with
Speaker 4: Martha Raditz and she downplayed the whole thing.
Speaker 10: Listen, well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they
Speaker 10: were exaggerated, exaggerated, there's got to be some That means
Speaker 10: there's got to be some element of truth here. And
Speaker 10: of course President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado talking
Speaker 10: to people on the ground. And what we're hearing, of course, Martha,
Speaker 10: is that people are terrified by what has happened with.
Speaker 4: Some of these Venezuelan gangs. Because I know.
Speaker 5: Exactly what happens, I'm going to stop you. The incidents
Speaker 5: were limited to a handful of apartment conflex apartment complexes,
Speaker 5: and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted
Speaker 5: on those concerns a handful of problems.
Speaker 10: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
Speaker 10: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 10: And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
Speaker 10: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on,
Speaker 10: and they have every right to be. And I really
Speaker 10: find this exchange, Martha is sort of interesting because you
Speaker 10: seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald
Speaker 10: Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in
Speaker 10: the United States of America are being taken over by
Speaker 10: violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem
Speaker 10: than anything else here. We've got to get American communities
Speaker 10: in a safe space again.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's so basic. And some known terrorists in
Speaker 4: the country. We have gang members like Trenda Aragua in
Speaker 4: the country. We have cartels in the country, drug dealers
Speaker 4: in the country, human traffickers in the country, murderers, rapists,
Speaker 4: we have the worst element, all these unvetted Harris Biden illegals.
Speaker 4: We have had Americans murdered. We have had Americans raped,
Speaker 4: including children. We have had thousands of Americans all told
Speaker 4: victims of violent crimes by Harris Biden unvetted illegals. And
Speaker 4: this is how your state run legacy medium mob lost
Speaker 4: any credibility they may have one time had let me
Speaker 4: stop you right there, because I know it's only a
Speaker 4: few apartment complexes. I love, I love what JD. Van said,
Speaker 4: are you listening to yourself? Did you just hear what
Speaker 4: you just said? Randy is in Michigan, Sean Hannity Show,
Speaker 4: what's up, Brandy? How are you well?
Speaker 3: Just to let you know, I'm a former marine and
Speaker 3: from Michigan, and I want to thank you for your show.
Speaker 2: I think it's excellent.
Speaker 3: You have a lot of insight and commentary and I
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 4: Well. Thank you for making it possible for me to
Speaker 4: do it. And what a great year all of us
Speaker 4: have had. It took every spoke in the wheel, every
Speaker 4: vote was a spoke, and we're able to get our
Speaker 4: country on track again. Thank God.
Speaker 3: Okay, I just want to say number one, I don't
Speaker 3: think Joe Biden is capable of doing any pardons. I
Speaker 3: don't know who's pulling his strings. But yesterday you made
Speaker 3: a statement.
Speaker 4: And I listened to some.
Speaker 3: Of the folks you had on in the prior session,
Speaker 3: and yesterday you made a statement that about the pardons,
Speaker 3: that you think it was okay for someone to be
Speaker 3: pardoned before an offense or a crime was committed. And
Speaker 3: I got to tell you, it almost took me off
Speaker 3: the road because I didn't expect to hear anything like
Speaker 3: that from you, And I'm just wondering.
Speaker 2: I've searched it out.
Speaker 3: I don't see in the Constitution where that's plausible.
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't the power of the partner, And even
Speaker 4: Greg Jared said, it's never been challenged in the court.
Speaker 4: Now could it be challenged? Absolutely? But you know, if
Speaker 4: you're asking me if if my interpretation is that that
Speaker 4: that that power is absolute, there are no restrictions on.
Speaker 3: It, well, it doesn't make it. It goes against all
Speaker 3: reality and common sense.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know it now does two very we're
Speaker 4: talking maybe talking about two very two very very different
Speaker 4: things here, okay, And I want to be clear that
Speaker 4: we're on the same page here, all right, And okay,
Speaker 4: So if you're asking me, if we're talking about Article two,
Speaker 4: Section two, Clause one, the President shall be Commander in
Speaker 4: chief of the Army Navy of the United States and
Speaker 4: the Militia of the Several States. When called into actual
Speaker 4: service of the United States, he may require the opinion
Speaker 4: in writing of the Principal Officer of each of the
Speaker 4: Executive Departments upon any subject relating to duties of their offices, etc.
Speaker 4: He shall have the power to grant repeat reprieves and
Speaker 4: pardons for offenses against the United States, except in the
Speaker 4: cases of impeachment. So it establishes clearly the president's authority
Speaker 4: to grant clemency, encompassing not only pardons of individuals, but
Speaker 4: several other forms of relief for criminal punishment, the power
Speaker 4: which has historical roots in English law. I don't want
Speaker 4: to give you. I don't want to bore you, but
Speaker 4: let me just say what it doesn't say. It doesn't
Speaker 4: offer any restriction at all. Now, if you're asking me
Speaker 4: if it's the moral and right thing to do, that's
Speaker 4: a very different question. But I've never thought Joe Biden
Speaker 4: was particularly ethical anyway, so that's not an issue in
Speaker 4: dispute now with the courts. Would it likely be challenged,
Speaker 4: I think it would do. I think that the do.
Speaker 4: I think the interpretation ultimately would lie in the Constitution
Speaker 4: that is silent on this very question and aspect. I
Speaker 4: think they would probably err on the side of it
Speaker 4: being an absolute power of the president. That's where I
Speaker 4: think it ends up. So like, why waste our time?
Speaker 4: So if I don't want you to take my remarks
Speaker 4: as a seal of approval of Joe doing it, The
Speaker 4: only thing, the only good thing that would come out
Speaker 4: of it is it would it would help Donald Trump
Speaker 4: focus on his agenda, which I would prefer to focus
Speaker 4: on anyway. Right, we got a lot of work to
Speaker 4: do to fix this country.
Speaker 3: I know we've all done things we needed to be
Speaker 3: forgiven for, for pardon for, but that's usually after an
Speaker 3: act has been committed. Now you got folks that are
Speaker 3: all these partons that you were mentioning that may be forthcoming.
Speaker 3: How can they pardon them? That's what I don't get.
Speaker 2: They haven't even been charged to get a charge.
Speaker 4: That's why. That's why it's a preemptive pardon. But the
Speaker 4: Constitution does not directly address it, nor does it take
Speaker 4: that option away from the president. So if it was
Speaker 4: if you ask me, if it was challenged, and Greg
Speaker 4: kind of agreed with me, and so to Brett Tolman,
Speaker 4: if challenged, I think the power would rest with the president,
Speaker 4: and that power I don't think that that the Supreme Court,
Speaker 4: if ever they ever would take a case like this,
Speaker 4: would ever go against something that is not prohibited directly
Speaker 4: in the Constitution. That's my that's my take on it.
Speaker 4: And as a constitutionalist, I think you have to. You
Speaker 4: have to take it for its original intent. So it's
Speaker 4: consistent with my belief in originalism. But it's not. Do
Speaker 4: I think it's right? No, I have, of course not.
Speaker 4: But do you do you have any expectation that Joe
Speaker 4: Biden is going to do the right thing? No?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 4: I mean how many times did he say wouldn't pardon
Speaker 4: his own son?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: I'm not as hot. I'm not as hot and bothered
Speaker 4: by any of it. I'll tell you why, because I'm
Speaker 4: just excited about securing our border, you know, removing all
Speaker 4: these dangerous people from our country to get it safe.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure we're going to be able to do it.
Speaker 4: That to me seems like the most impossible job. I
Speaker 4: want the economy back on track. I want to be
Speaker 4: the most energy dominant country on the face of the earth.
Speaker 4: I want to restore law and order in our country.
Speaker 4: I like our schools to be fixed. I am very
Speaker 4: excited about DOGE and cutting waste, fraud and abuse, and
Speaker 4: returning to limited government and greater freedom. I want America
Speaker 4: to establish its role in the world as the leader
Speaker 4: of the free world once again. I like the fact
Speaker 4: that foreign adversaries fear Donald Trump and respect that his
Speaker 4: willingness to do whatever is necessary to defend our country.
Speaker 4: And I think we're just better off in the end.
Speaker 4: So I'm kind of looking big picture, and this to
Speaker 4: me is, you know, a bitter, angry old man on
Speaker 4: his way out that did a horrible job and is
Speaker 4: trying to cover up all the corruption that we were
Speaker 4: trying to expose for four years.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate your time, sir, and you.
Speaker 4: Have a bleased that clarify it a little bit for you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want you to think I'm giving
Speaker 4: this guy my you know of gold star for doing it.
Speaker 3: Okay, tongue and cheek. I'm gonna give you one more chance.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Thanks, Randy, God bless you all. Right
Speaker 4: man eight one, Shawn, if you want to be a
Speaker 4: part of the program, let us say hi to Jeff
Speaker 4: and Oregon. Hey Jeff, how are you great?
Speaker 2: Shawn?
Speaker 11: Thanks for talking to me. I'm a long time listener
Speaker 11: going back to Combs. I'm a retired MD who's been
Speaker 11: teaching disaster preparedness and disaster response for those twenty years.
Speaker 4: And I also, wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 11: And I also have lectured to NASA and ASA preparedness,
Speaker 11: and this discussion about drones gets my attention. I'm also
Speaker 11: a fiction writer, gets my attention in a way that
Speaker 11: is not being discussed much. Although I haven't heard every
Speaker 11: part of your shows is it's well, the government is
Speaker 11: covering up a nuclear problem, perhaps even a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 11: that they're trying to find in fear of setting off
Speaker 11: mass panic, and that we've seen mass panic in a
Speaker 11: variety of situations like Hurricane Rita in Houston. I recall
Speaker 11: around two thousand and five, lots of people have died
Speaker 11: on the highway, some from flood, some from road rage,
Speaker 11: and people were stuck there without food and water. It's
Speaker 11: a huge problem with people panic, especially in big cities,
Speaker 11: and so it's conceivable to me that they've chosen that
Speaker 11: the better route here is to not scare people and
Speaker 11: keep hunting for whatever they're hunting for. You have had
Speaker 11: people talk about these drones have the capability of finding
Speaker 11: radioactive areas, and so it's just a thought to me
Speaker 11: as a subparting note, or at least a note to
Speaker 11: your listeners. Ready to Go is a site on FEMA
Speaker 11: absolutely will tell you what to do for any type
Speaker 11: of disaster and go to the disaster supplies kit. You
Speaker 11: get an idea what to have in your car. No,
Speaker 11: it's a gallon of water per person per day. Don't
Speaker 11: forget your glasses and your medications, and you know it's
Speaker 11: all kind of listed there. Also one can google bug
Speaker 11: out bag, the bug out bag, which tells you what
Speaker 11: to have in a bag to get out of there.
Speaker 11: But call the state or the county, the triple A.
Speaker 11: Know about roads, have evacuation routes that you already know
Speaker 11: ahead of time. Be prepared for road rage and try
Speaker 11: to avoid it. Of course, I'm not saying take a weapon,
Speaker 11: but be careful. People do get crazy and get mad. Anyway,
Speaker 11: this is the kind of stuff I wanted to quickly
Speaker 11: get in.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you're very informed, and obviously it's good
Speaker 4: to be prepared. I used to be a MANI prepper,
Speaker 4: and in some ways I still am. I've I've got
Speaker 4: an arsenal, I'll put it that way, and I've I've
Speaker 4: had that for some time because I've downsized significantly in
Speaker 4: my life and I live in a much smaller place
Speaker 4: than I used to and and I actually prefer it,
Speaker 4: and I live alone, so I mean, do I have
Speaker 4: all the food and water that I used to have? No,
Speaker 4: but I have quite a bit of water, and I
Speaker 4: have quite a bit of food. But I don't have
Speaker 4: my freezer stock full of you know, meat like I
Speaker 4: used to. But I probably over time we'll build back
Speaker 4: up again. You know, I had six months supply of
Speaker 4: emergency food if God forbid something happens, you know, I think.
Speaker 4: Do I think everybody needs a generator if you can
Speaker 4: afford it, Yeah? I do. I think most people need
Speaker 4: medical supplies and water and food to sustain them for
Speaker 4: as long as possible for them and their families, even
Speaker 4: if it's like MR type of food. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: I think that's smart. Do I think people need, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe gold and silver as part of their economic strategies
Speaker 4: if there's some time of economic calamity or collapse. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've thought that way my entire life. Everything you're saying
Speaker 4: is plausible, So you obviously know your stuff. I think
Speaker 4: you're giving good advice, and I urge people to protect themselves.
Speaker 4: And I've read the same stuff you've read that you
Speaker 4: know there might be something, you know, militarily radioactive related. Again,
Speaker 4: it's all speculation. They won't be honest with us, and
Speaker 4: they could be as honest as just saying something as
Speaker 4: simple as we have a national security issue, we're on it.
Speaker 4: We'll tell you as soon as we know more, and
Speaker 4: you know standby. We don't see a risk of the
Speaker 4: American people, and explain to the give as much assurance
Speaker 4: as you can realistically give without lying.
