Speaker 1 (00:00):
See right here for our final News round Up and
Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All Right, News round Up, Information Overload hour toll free
of numbers eight hundred and nine to point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
you know, it is amazing the times that we're living in.
And then this goes back to the issue we had
discussed earlier with Bill O'Reilly about the corruption of the media,
and you know, I tried to point this out with
(00:27):
our debate with James Carvell, but it's kind of a
waste of time. And when you dig deep into these
polls that show an incredible approval rating and how Donald
Trump is doing. Be it the new Harvard Harris poll
that was out this week, fifty two percent approval rating,
nine percent, nine points above water, voters more optimistic about
(00:50):
the direction of the country and the economy, up ten
points than where it was last month. Donald Trump outperforming
Biden on every key issue, immigrants, the economy, inflation, foreign affairs.
He is He's hitting every single demographic group with the
exception of eighteen to thirty four year olds, but even there,
(01:11):
he's in the forty percentile range, which is a very
high number for him, and then when you look at
very specific handling of issues that he is now dealing with,
what do we see Seventy seven percent of respondents think
we need a full examination of all government expenditures. Well,
if you listen to the media or you know, say,
(01:32):
all these Republican congressmen have been brutalized at town halls.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
By angry constituents.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Those angry constituents, we find out we're organized, according to
the Washington was a free beacon organized by George Soros
groups whoopsie Daisy. And then we find out dig deeper
into these polls because it's the RMG Research poll, it's Trafalgar,
it's Rasmussen, it is insider advantage, and they're all showing
(02:01):
the same thing. And you know, for example, the CBS
poll that i'd brought up a carbol he said he's
in the forties.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
No, he's a fifty three percent.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Then you look at that CBS poll chose eighty percent
support deporting criminally illegal seventy six percent support a full
scale effort to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, seventy six
percent support closing the border, seventy percent support keeping men
out of women's sports, and declaring that there are only
two genders. Sixty five percent support ending race based hiring
(02:33):
in government. This goes to the issue of DEI sixty
three percent support of freeze and reevaluation of foreign aid,
sixty one percent support reciprocal tariffs, sixty percent support direct
negotiations with Russia and the war in Ukraine. Anyway, here
to analyze all of this humulatively and discuss his poll,
(02:54):
particularly as our friend John McLachlin of John McLaughlin and Associates,
How are you, sir?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'm feeling pretty good because the Republicans did what they
had to do with their narrow majority last night and
they were able to get their tax cut bill through
the House, which is important because if we're going to
succeed and defy history in the midterms like we did
in two thousand and two where you had a growing
economy and you had voter support for President Trump to
(03:23):
be able to win the midterm elections, is we got
to get that tax cut passed so that so that
in effect that we have a growing economy and we
can pick up center in the House seats. And last
night they did what they had to do. The President,
by the way, in the survey you were just talking
about it. A thousand likely voters, people who vote next
year model they're the last November's election. President Trump has
(03:47):
ten percent approval support from people that didn't vote for
him last time, meaning among the whole electorate besides the
people he won the popular vote, and we had a
strategy to win the popular vote because we've based on
his job approval contrast to Biden pulled up his favorble,
so he was what he was the most popular candidate
on the ballot, not Harris, not Biden. Biden still disliked
(04:11):
in this poll, but he's thirty nine Verberule fifty six
on vayable. But Trump has one in ten voters that
now support his policies who didn't vote for him in November.
And they tend to be minorities, they tend to be younger,
they tend to be more diverse, and they're coming to
him because he wants to get this tax cut passed.
Because when we ask the voters of the objectives that
(04:34):
he's doing, fifty want to see the taxes cut from
working middle class Americans so that they get some relief
from high prices. And the next second, you know, fifty
seven percent. Of that only twenty four percent of the
next choice was securing the border, and after that it was,
you know, national defense, give us a piece eight percent,
(04:55):
and increased the oil and gas production only five percent.
So the Republican numbers here, or Trump's support for his
tax cup policies, it's actually with Democrats it's sixty nine percent,
Independent sixty one percent, with the moderates at sixty one percent,
with African Americans forty seven percent, and Hispanic sixty four percent.
(05:17):
So last night was a very good knight for the
country and for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What do you make of the punditry class, the media
and the Democrats. I mean, they've basically been reduced to,
you know, he's a male body part and f off
and fu and f elon and.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And they seem to be clinging to the idea that
they're going to fight for the right of men to
play women's sports, and they're going to fight for the
rights of illegal immigrants over the safety of Americans, and
they are clinging to this ridiculous waste brought and abuse
that tends and tens what will be hundreds of billions
of dollars that is discovered that the American people clearly
(06:00):
in overwhelm. It's nearly an eighty twenty issue want resolved
and finished. What do you make of their messaging at
this moment and where they are and where the media
is because they're right with.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Them, Well, they're bankrupt in terms of ideas and in
terms of the policy. Their policies put us in a
hole for the last four years. That allowed Donald Trump
to get reelected by saying, you know, are you better
off today than you were four years ago? And he
won overwhelmingly. We slept the batleground states, we won the
popular vote. And now when you're talking about on spending,
last month we asked about voters, do they see the
(06:33):
money's well spent in the federal government? Only twenty five
percent sixty four percent that it was mostly waste when
you ask them on average, this was done for the
Committee on Leashed Prosperity Steve wars group, on average, what
they thought the percentage of the federal budget that's wasted.
Their perception was thirty eight percent. That was the average.
They think thirty eight cents on every donald the federal
(06:54):
government spends is wasted and the tax cuts, by the way,
the tax cuts. In December, we had numbers where the
voters want to make the tax cuts permanent. Trump's tax
cuts permanent seventy to seventeen percent, fifty eight percent among Democrats.
They want no tax on overtime sixty six twenty five,
fifty nine percent among Democrats, no tax on tips seventy
(07:16):
one to twenty one, sixty four percent among Democrats. And
they support no tax on Social Security eighty two to
eleven and seventy two percent among Democrats. That was in
the bill that was passed last night. The Democrats are
really trying. I mean, public opinion is overwhelmingly on President
Trump's side, whether it's securing the border, whether tax cuts
(07:37):
and growing the economy, or you know, ending the endless
wars and trying to keep America safe and secure. So
you've got a very you've got a very strong president
who's popularity is building and he's building a broader coalition
that in this poll, we had Republicans leading the generic
ballot for Congress forty eight to forty one. It's a
(07:59):
third of the under voters side with the Republicans.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
We don't have a.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Majority vote for the midterm elections, and you'll easily get
that with the tax cuts being test So the Democrats
the only thing they stand for is failure and they
can only hope, Like James Carvill said, let's just sit
back and play post until the Republicans mess up. And
well that's what their strategy is, because.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Well they'll they'll play possible.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But then they're going to revert to form and what
is what are the things they're going to advocate for?
Open borders they'll complain about that, the rights of illegal immigrants,
they'll fight for that. The right of men to play
in women's sports, they'll fight for that. I mean the
reckless spending that there's no Democrat that is joining the
(08:47):
support of doze and cutting out insane waste for Auden
abuse because they want that radicalized agenda pushed worldwide. And
somehow they view that as a constitutional crisis. The crisis
is that the fact that they did it in the
first place, in.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
My view, right and what but I'll watched I think
what's gonna happen is the Democrats aren't going to give
us an inch. They're going to try to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Know they're gonna they're gonna hate Donald Trump. That's what
they're gonna do. That's all they know.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, that's all they know.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
They don't they're they're void of ideas.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They literally they don't have an agenda that is in
sync with the American people. I've never seen a party
so out of touch, and they've embraced their radicalism so deeply.
I don't think they can. I don't think they can
disconnect from it any longer because it represents who they are.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, I think you're right about that. And all the
leaders are unpopular. Voters that know Hoo Kim Jeffrey don't
like them. Chuck Schumer is at twenty five variable, forty
three unfavable and getting worse. So, you know, so bring
it on.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
This is agreed, will win, We will win. I mean,
I feel like it's a nineteen sixties reduct. So what
they're they're chanting and they're singing, and they're carrying on
and f Donald Trump, af Donald Trump, I'm like, okay,
does that make you feel better?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Af Elon musk Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And meanwhile, Americans like the cutting and every poll left,
the polls showing it that it's overwhelming. You don't see
many eighty twenty issues, do you no?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No. And by the way, this those numbers I read
overwhelm when we popular the Republicans, they just stick to
their guns. And I'll bet you like the Lake and
Riley Act, at the last minute, when it looks like
it's going to pass, you'll see Democrats voting for it
because otherwise. But they did last night with every Democrat
when they voted against the House budget, they voted for
(10:45):
a five trillion dollar taxing key increase. They voted for
the biggest tax increase in the history of the United States.
So what will happen is those Democrats who are in
districts that Trump won this thirteen of them, those Democrats
who are in districts where Trump came close within five points,
they will actually start flipping their votes because when it
(11:06):
looks like tax no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
no tax on Social Security, no, you know, against this
five trillion dollars tax increase that they're hoping for, when
the Republicans get them at their backs to the wall,
and these Democrats they will start slipping to Trump just
like just like just like the Democrats did with Reagan
in the eighties that they had to vote for his
(11:27):
tax cuts.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
All right, quick, Frank, welcome right back. More with our
friend pollster John McLaughlin eight hundred nine to four. One
shot is on number if you want to be a
part of the program as we continue exposing the Fellosy
Party's chaos and corruptions all day.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
This is a sanity show. Look, this country was founded
on freedom. Freedom from a country that forced us to
buy overpriced tea and then trying to blockade us when
we dumped their tea to the ocean.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well, it's time to throw your overpriced, big wireless contract

dot com for details. I want to continue now with
John McLaughlin McLaughlin and associates examining President Trump and Democrats
(13:03):
and their poll numbers. Democrats are the lowest point ever.
Let's talk about the generic ballot because right now Republicans
have a significant lead. Usually in a mid term, the
party in power in the White House loses seats you
mentioned earlier, and this is something Newde has been preaching
from the rooftop that the Republicans need to move expeditiously
(13:28):
and get their economic plan in place so that we
have time for a recovery because that will greatly impact
the midterm elections. They seem to be on track to
get that done.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Thoughts exactly new It's right and now the Republicans. You
could get cocky because you look at the survey that
we just published, it's on our website MacLaughlin online dot
com that they're up forty eight to forty one. That's
not the Republicans going over fifty. That's the Democrats collapsing.
Now their vote could come back to them if the
Republicans fail. But if the Republicans have it made up
(14:03):
that they're going to succeed, that they're going to have
a pro growth tax cut, that they're going to help
working class middle Americans like they did, like President Trump
did when he passed his first round of tax cuts
in twenty seventeen, that we're looking to make permanent. Now.
The problem was the President. I spoke to him after
he did it, after healthcare, and I said to the President,
he said, why'd you do healthcare first? And he said, well,
(14:25):
McConnell and Ryan told him he needed the savings. So
the tax I said, that's ridiculous, it's that money who
they saving. I mean, healthcare is like stalingred. So the
healthcare effort failed. The tax cuts didn't get passed until
December of twenty seventeen, too late for the midterms to
take effect. So we lost the House and we lost
the Senate, and President Trump got impeached. We cannot let
(14:48):
that happen again. Nuke Gingrich is exactly right. We need
to move to tax cuts early this year, before the summer,
before Memorial Day before they leave to go on any vacation.
These tax cuts need to be passed so that next
year you have a growing economy, so we can do
what we did in two thousand and two, where President
George W. Bush had a grown economy because he stimulated
(15:10):
after the tragedy of nine to eleven had a grown economy.
We've picked up two Senate seats, We've picked up eight
House seats, and we also motivated the Bush two thousand
voters to come out in higher numbers than the Gore
two thousand voters. Trump got seventy seven million votes. There
was in the midterms of twenty and twenty two only
one hundred and twelve million voters total. We need to
(15:33):
have all these Trump voters motivated to come out a
year for November and vote for Republicans for Congress against
these saled Democrats who are just trying to stop us
from succeeding.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I think the biggest motivation for Americans is if this
becomes a nationalized midterm and that would be a referendum
on President Trump and what he's doing, and to not
allow the Democrats to go through what would be predictable impeachment.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But we're running out.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Of time, right.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We can't go back to inflation, we can't go back
to we can't go back to endless wars, and we
can't go back to open borders. So that's why we
have to fight and win this and and push and
we'll attract Democrats when it's clear we're going to win,
they'll be with us.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
All Right, we appreciate you. John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and associates.
Thank you, sir, Thank you. All right, let's get to
our busy, busy telephones. Ken in the United Socialist Utopia
now known as California, Shaun.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Hi, it's a pleasure to talk with you today.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Pleasure is all mine.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I wanted to talk briefly about the doge, some of
the stuff you're seeing both in the media and things
like like YouTube, which supposedly is an independent person talking.
You see somebody who's being fired or losing their job,
and they're screaming and yelling at Musk and President Trump,
and the whole point is that they're not they're missing
(16:58):
they're missing the point rather, and they should be screamed
at their bosses who screwed up their company. Think of
the USA ideas as a corporation, they embezzled all the money,
gave it away to these stupid causes, and then these
people lose their jobs as a result of the company
going bankrupt.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Look, I don't want to be insensitive or callous or
not concerning towards people that, through really no fault of
their own, are going to end up, you know, hitting
a pretty bumpy road and losing their job.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's not fun for anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But we're really we're at a crossroads here, and it's
it's going to be the entire country's economy.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
We'll be hanging in the balance.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We're now at a point where where when you look
at the percentage of GDP and the amount of money
debt to ratio GDP, it is now at the highest
level since World War Two. If you look at the
amount of money we're paying on interest on the debt
every year, it's more than we pay for national defense.
Then you face the reality that we've got us save
(18:06):
Social Security, Medicaid. You know that is going to be expensive.
The next generation of weaponry is not going to be cheap,
and iron dome and that technology is not going to
be cheap, deporting all of the Biden Harris illegals is
not going to be cheap. Becoming energy dominant, which ultimately
will pay huge dividends for US, is not going to
(18:27):
be cheap. And so the question is are we going
to do what is right now for the long term
health of the entire country and economic prosperity opportunities for
the entire country and deal with this nearly forty trillion
dollars in debt and cut back on waste, fraud and
(18:47):
abuse and return to some sanity in constitutional order, and
that means limited government, greater freedom, and eliminating this is
DEI wokesm Green new dealism, transgenderism abroad, or we're going
to keep stealing from our kids and grandkids. That's the option.
(19:08):
And in the short term, Yeah, there will be adjustments
to people's lives and they will get other jobs. Is
it ideal for them? No, but these are jobs that
people never should have been hired in the first place.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, but you know what, these people need to know
that their collateral damage from being on the sacrifice to
the altar of wokeness. They need to know that, and
they need to be told that so that they can
wake up. And I think if the younger people know this,
like you were talking earlier by eighteen to thirty four group.
(19:42):
The more that's that sympathized, the more they'll they'll realize
the importance of it.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, it's their future that we're stealing their money, you know.
I don't want their money. I don't want to put
them in a hole. We have an obligation to leave
this country in better shape than we then we inherited it,
and we're not doing that right now. We need to
be better stewards and now we're in the middle of
a course correction that has some short term pain associated
(20:11):
with it with but we're staving off. We're preventing a
long term disaster that would impact every single American for generations,
and that has to that has to be dealt with anyway.
I appreciate you. A good call, very thoughtful. Eight hundred
and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program. Joe in New York. What's up, Joe?
(20:33):
How you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Sewan?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
This is Joe from Rockland. We haven't spoken in over
eight years.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Buddy Man, oh Man, why do I remember you?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You must have given me a hard time, and I
think that's what I remember what's going on Joe and Rockland?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Hey man, everything is good man.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You know, I bet you missed me a little bit
deep down in your heart. The good thing is is
I'm still on you know, the great AM seven ten
w R. So you can hear me every day and
our friendship continues through the radio and hopefully through TV.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
A lot of things you told me about. I sat
back and I had to look and I right now
support Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You've been you've been henitized. Well, first, I got to
give you a lot of credit. Let me give you
some props. There are liberals that I will debate with,
just have discussions with and make great points and they
don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They just dismissed them. And then there are.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Other people that like, for example, somebody makes a great
point to me that I hadn't thought of and maybe
points out that I'm wrong. I need to not be
so prideful in my life that I can't accept the
truth for what it is. I try to. You know,
I can accept that point. That's a good that's a
good point. And I just think you're just you just
have a lot more intellectual honesty than most democrats. Most
(21:48):
democrats American people don't want their money wasted the way
we've been describing on this program now since the beginning
of the year, since Donald Trump was inaugurated, they just don't.
And Paul Left a poll shows that, but Democrats still
cling to it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Can you explain why?
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Well, let me tell you. One of some of the
problems that I had is, you know, Trump came out
and he said when you first ran, that Black Americans
should vote for him, and said, what do they have
to lose? And that really resonated in a lot of
African Americans because for years we've been giving our vote
to Democratic Party and we've never really gotten nothing. Avoid
(22:27):
so they know we're going to vote with them, and
people are breaking ranks from that right now. And most
African Americans are Christians. And when you have things such
as men can switch gender and want to swim against women,
things like that, that's not fair. It's not right. And
as a.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Critic, look, I mean, look at all your deep blue cities,
right and let's look at the predominantly minority areas in
New York.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
How are your schools doing there?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Because they tend to have predominantly minority areas tend to
have some of the worst schools in the country. And
yet you're right, it's been a reliable, consistently reliable vote
for Democrats. And what have you got to lose, considering you,
You've given them decades, people have voted for them for decades,
(23:19):
and they their cities are less less safe, less secure
in their schools are horrible for their kids. And Donald
Trump plans to fix the school problem. I'm going to
give the money, you know, back to local authorities and
hopefully they'll they'll better manage it. I'll tell you what
I would do if I was a parent, if I
would voucher the money. Tell me if you like this idea.
Let's say your kids are in a bad school district.
(23:42):
Let's say ten families. Let's say they get voucher twenty
five grand per student in New York. And if you
have ten families that decide, you know, they have kids
the same age, and they're going to put all their
money in a pot, all right, and they're going to
hire the best teacher they can and create a class
of ten ten people. And they're going to spend some
(24:05):
of the money on wherever the classroom is going to be,
and the rest of the money is going to go
to the best teacher that they can find. Who do
you think is going to do better in reading, writing, history, math,
and science. Those kids are the kids in the public school.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Those kids, And I'm gonna tell you why. My son
ended up going to the Hackley School in Terrytown and
gave him such a phenomenal education that when he graduated,
he had one hundred and fifty college offers, including every
single Ivy League school Stafford Point. So he went to
University of Pennsylvania James School Trump went to, and he
(24:39):
graduated from there.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
People that that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Just tell but before that he was in a regular
public school before he went to the Hackley School, and
Hackley stretched him every way possible, reading, math, the history class.
He had to write a thirty page paper in the
twelfth grade before graduating. So if I loved that was
the way to go. The schools have been failing over
(25:04):
and over again. And the problem is is the union
for the school district. They voting democratic and at the
end of the day, our kids are uneducated. I went
through that system. I went to one of the worst
high schools in New York City, you know, and I
ended up going to Beruke College because of the seat program,
(25:25):
and there I met this Jewish professor, Professor Lebski that
you know when I was told him my parents who
were killed two weeks of party, took me under his wing.
He made sure I graduated. He went above and beyond
to helped me with any class I had, not just
the classes that I had with him, and it was
able to change my life. So now me and my
wife had four kids. Two went to Temple University, one
(25:46):
went to Spelman and my son went to University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But all and you're such a good guy. You're such
a good dad. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And whoever that teacher was, God blessom, what a cool
guy he cared. There are good teachers, and they were
great teachers. Wrote and that's one of them.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
What I wrote him and told him what he did
for me. But it's over forty years. He didn't remember me,
which means he was helping so many people that that's
just what he does. He just helped people that need help.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean, there are really good souls in this world.
God God blesses us with the right people at the
right time. Sometimes in the different seasons of our life.
Right anyway, what a great story and what a great dad.
But more importantly, you're intellectual honesty shines through, and you
know the opportunity that you provided your children. My parents
(26:36):
didn't have. They grew up very poor, didn't have much money,
and they worked civil service jobs. My mom in the
prison guard. I've told the story a million times. My
dad probation officer waiter. But they put a priority in
sending their kids to Catholic schools. I went to Catholic
schools for twelve years.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
They didn't have money to send many college and I
wasn't going to take it from them. And when they
passed away, they had nothing like next to nothing, and
they gave everything that they had and every penny of
overtime that they worked towards their kids' education. They put
such a priority on it. And one of the things
they taught me was, you know, with my kids, and
(27:15):
they did go to pretty good schools. But I always
supplemented that because of my work hours, I wasn't able
to do it myself, nor was I inclined to do
it because I I just don't have the patience.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
To be a very good tutor.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And I don't remember how to do algebra, geometry, as
sophisticated chemistry and physics. I'm just not the right guy
to be. It's just better when it's somebody else teaching
your kids. I can't explain it, but I did invest
heavily in providing them tutors when they needed it, and
(27:50):
it was the best investment I made.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
It.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Never thought twice about it, and I kind of did
it because that's what my parents taught me.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But you're a good dad. I really appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Called Joe.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Listen, don't eight years? All right, my friend?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
All right, thanks, it's good talking to you.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Good talking to you. Let's say hi to Tim Washington State.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Tim.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
We got about ninety seconds. They're all yours.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Okay, Sean, glad you're listening to me. I am a
veteran government worker. I spent I'm a disabled veteran ten
years in the Navy and fifteen years in government service.
And I'm on the side. I'm on the financial side
in that government service. And I had no problem with
answering the email from Elon.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I over a million of you did. Yeah, I want
good for you.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
What I do.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
I am a remote worker and I am going back
to the office, which I don't mind that bother me.
And believe it or not, there's a lot more Republicans
in the government like me and veterans, disabled veterans than
you think. We're not all lazy government workers.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I am sure that's true. And the work, especially with veterans,
is essential. We made a promise to these guys and
we need to fulfill it. And I'm glad there are
people like you that work in government. But on the
other hand, there's a lot of waste brodden, abuse.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Redundancy and corruption that has to be weeded out. It's
going to be hard. And then Elon even said to me,
we're going to make mistakes, but we'll quick fix them
as quickly as we can.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Well, I hope they can, and I hope one thing too,
is that if they do reduction and force, you know,
veterans we put on two uniforms. We put it on
once and then we put it on again in government service.
And I'm just hoping that they, you know, they take
care of veterans when it comes down to it. Like
me and many other people that are talking in the
government or veterans, we have groups where we talk offline
(29:45):
and you know, we're all conservative. We all believe in
being fiscally responsible with taxpayers' money. I've done that since
the day I entered government service.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, well, then you know what what you're doing is
a service to the people that served us. I applaud you,
I really do. I've got a roll though, just because
of the constraints of time. Please forgive me and God
bless you. Thank you for serving your country, and thanks
for what you do every day to help our vets.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Okay, Okay, you're welcome, And if you get more time, Seawan,
I have way more information I could give you.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
All Right, Well, we'll hang on to your number and
we'd love to have you back.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
That's gonna wrap things hop for today.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
We have a great Hannity tonight, nine eastern on the
Fox News Channel. The new head of the Secret Service,

operating officer at USAID who testified will be with us.
Lee Zelden at the EPA will join us. He thinks
he can cut sixty five percent of the workforce. Speaker
(30:45):
Mike Johnson. They got the President's tax cuts and budget
plan across the finish line last night. Hey you DVR
Hannity Tonight nine Eastern Fox. We'll see you tonight. Back
here tomorrow. Thank you for making this show possible.
See right here for our final News round Up and
Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All Right, News round Up, Information Overload hour toll free
of numbers eight hundred and nine to point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program,
you know, it is amazing the times that we're living in.
And then this goes back to the issue we had
discussed earlier with Bill O'Reilly about the corruption of the media,
and you know, I tried to point this out with
(00:27):
our debate with James Carvell, but it's kind of a
waste of time. And when you dig deep into these
polls that show an incredible approval rating and how Donald
Trump is doing. Be it the new Harvard Harris poll
that was out this week, fifty two percent approval rating,
nine percent, nine points above water, voters more optimistic about
(00:50):
the direction of the country and the economy, up ten
points than where it was last month. Donald Trump outperforming
Biden on every key issue, immigrants, the economy, inflation, foreign affairs.
He is He's hitting every single demographic group with the
exception of eighteen to thirty four year olds, but even there,
(01:11):
he's in the forty percentile range, which is a very
high number for him, and then when you look at
very specific handling of issues that he is now dealing with,
what do we see Seventy seven percent of respondents think
we need a full examination of all government expenditures. Well,
if you listen to the media or you know, say,
(01:32):
all these Republican congressmen have been brutalized at town halls.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
By angry constituents.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Those angry constituents, we find out we're organized, according to
the Washington was a free beacon organized by George Soros
groups whoopsie Daisy. And then we find out dig deeper
into these polls because it's the RMG Research poll, it's Trafalgar,
it's Rasmussen, it is insider advantage, and they're all showing
(02:01):
the same thing. And you know, for example, the CBS
poll that i'd brought up a carbol he said he's
in the forties.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
No, he's a fifty three percent.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Then you look at that CBS poll chose eighty percent
support deporting criminally illegal seventy six percent support a full
scale effort to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, seventy six
percent support closing the border, seventy percent support keeping men
out of women's sports, and declaring that there are only
two genders. Sixty five percent support ending race based hiring
(02:33):
in government. This goes to the issue of DEI sixty
three percent support of freeze and reevaluation of foreign aid,
sixty one percent support reciprocal tariffs, sixty percent support direct
negotiations with Russia and the war in Ukraine. Anyway, here
to analyze all of this humulatively and discuss his poll,
(02:54):
particularly as our friend John McLachlin of John McLaughlin and Associates,
How are you, sir?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'm feeling pretty good because the Republicans did what they
had to do with their narrow majority last night and
they were able to get their tax cut bill through
the House, which is important because if we're going to
succeed and defy history in the midterms like we did
in two thousand and two where you had a growing
economy and you had voter support for President Trump to
(03:23):
be able to win the midterm elections, is we got
to get that tax cut passed so that so that
in effect that we have a growing economy and we
can pick up center in the House seats. And last
night they did what they had to do. The President,
by the way, in the survey you were just talking
about it. A thousand likely voters, people who vote next
year model they're the last November's election. President Trump has
(03:47):
ten percent approval support from people that didn't vote for
him last time, meaning among the whole electorate besides the
people he won the popular vote, and we had a
strategy to win the popular vote because we've based on
his job approval contrast to Biden pulled up his favorble,
so he was what he was the most popular candidate
on the ballot, not Harris, not Biden. Biden still disliked
(04:11):
in this poll, but he's thirty nine Verberule fifty six
on vayable. But Trump has one in ten voters that
now support his policies who didn't vote for him in November.
And they tend to be minorities, they tend to be younger,
they tend to be more diverse, and they're coming to
him because he wants to get this tax cut passed.
Because when we ask the voters of the objectives that
(04:34):
he's doing, fifty want to see the taxes cut from
working middle class Americans so that they get some relief
from high prices. And the next second, you know, fifty
seven percent. Of that only twenty four percent of the
next choice was securing the border, and after that it was,
you know, national defense, give us a piece eight percent,
(04:55):
and increased the oil and gas production only five percent.
So the Republican numbers here, or Trump's support for his
tax cup policies, it's actually with Democrats it's sixty nine percent,
Independent sixty one percent, with the moderates at sixty one percent,
with African Americans forty seven percent, and Hispanic sixty four percent.
(05:17):
So last night was a very good knight for the
country and for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What do you make of the punditry class, the media
and the Democrats. I mean, they've basically been reduced to,
you know, he's a male body part and f off
and fu and f elon and.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And they seem to be clinging to the idea that
they're going to fight for the right of men to
play women's sports, and they're going to fight for the
rights of illegal immigrants over the safety of Americans, and
they are clinging to this ridiculous waste brought and abuse
that tends and tens what will be hundreds of billions
of dollars that is discovered that the American people clearly
(06:00):
in overwhelm. It's nearly an eighty twenty issue want resolved
and finished. What do you make of their messaging at
this moment and where they are and where the media
is because they're right with.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Them, Well, they're bankrupt in terms of ideas and in
terms of the policy. Their policies put us in a
hole for the last four years. That allowed Donald Trump
to get reelected by saying, you know, are you better
off today than you were four years ago? And he
won overwhelmingly. We slept the batleground states, we won the
popular vote. And now when you're talking about on spending,
last month we asked about voters, do they see the
(06:33):
money's well spent in the federal government? Only twenty five
percent sixty four percent that it was mostly waste when
you ask them on average, this was done for the
Committee on Leashed Prosperity Steve wars group, on average, what
they thought the percentage of the federal budget that's wasted.
Their perception was thirty eight percent. That was the average.
They think thirty eight cents on every donald the federal
(06:54):
government spends is wasted and the tax cuts, by the way,
the tax cuts. In December, we had numbers where the
voters want to make the tax cuts permanent. Trump's tax
cuts permanent seventy to seventeen percent, fifty eight percent among Democrats.
They want no tax on overtime sixty six twenty five,
fifty nine percent among Democrats, no tax on tips seventy
(07:16):
one to twenty one, sixty four percent among Democrats. And
they support no tax on Social Security eighty two to
eleven and seventy two percent among Democrats. That was in
the bill that was passed last night. The Democrats are
really trying. I mean, public opinion is overwhelmingly on President
Trump's side, whether it's securing the border, whether tax cuts
(07:37):
and growing the economy, or you know, ending the endless
wars and trying to keep America safe and secure. So
you've got a very you've got a very strong president
who's popularity is building and he's building a broader coalition
that in this poll, we had Republicans leading the generic
ballot for Congress forty eight to forty one. It's a
(07:59):
third of the under voters side with the Republicans.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
We don't have a.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Majority vote for the midterm elections, and you'll easily get
that with the tax cuts being test So the Democrats
the only thing they stand for is failure and they
can only hope, Like James Carvill said, let's just sit
back and play post until the Republicans mess up. And
well that's what their strategy is, because.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Well they'll they'll play possible.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But then they're going to revert to form and what
is what are the things they're going to advocate for?
Open borders they'll complain about that, the rights of illegal immigrants,
they'll fight for that. The right of men to play
in women's sports, they'll fight for that. I mean the
reckless spending that there's no Democrat that is joining the
(08:47):
support of doze and cutting out insane waste for Auden
abuse because they want that radicalized agenda pushed worldwide. And
somehow they view that as a constitutional crisis. The crisis
is that the fact that they did it in the
first place, in.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
My view, right and what but I'll watched I think
what's gonna happen is the Democrats aren't going to give
us an inch. They're going to try to.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Know they're gonna they're gonna hate Donald Trump. That's what
they're gonna do. That's all they know.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, that's all they know.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
They don't they're they're void of ideas.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They literally they don't have an agenda that is in
sync with the American people. I've never seen a party
so out of touch, and they've embraced their radicalism so deeply.
I don't think they can. I don't think they can
disconnect from it any longer because it represents who they are.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, I think you're right about that. And all the
leaders are unpopular. Voters that know Hoo Kim Jeffrey don't
like them. Chuck Schumer is at twenty five variable, forty
three unfavable and getting worse. So, you know, so bring
it on.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
This is agreed, will win, We will win. I mean,
I feel like it's a nineteen sixties reduct. So what
they're they're chanting and they're singing, and they're carrying on
and f Donald Trump, af Donald Trump, I'm like, okay,
does that make you feel better?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Af Elon musk Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And meanwhile, Americans like the cutting and every poll left,
the polls showing it that it's overwhelming. You don't see
many eighty twenty issues, do you no?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No. And by the way, this those numbers I read
overwhelm when we popular the Republicans, they just stick to
their guns. And I'll bet you like the Lake and
Riley Act, at the last minute, when it looks like
it's going to pass, you'll see Democrats voting for it
because otherwise. But they did last night with every Democrat
when they voted against the House budget, they voted for
(10:45):
a five trillion dollar taxing key increase. They voted for
the biggest tax increase in the history of the United States.
So what will happen is those Democrats who are in
districts that Trump won this thirteen of them, those Democrats
who are in districts where Trump came close within five points,
they will actually start flipping their votes because when it
(11:06):
looks like tax no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
no tax on Social Security, no, you know, against this
five trillion dollars tax increase that they're hoping for, when
the Republicans get them at their backs to the wall,
and these Democrats they will start slipping to Trump just
like just like just like the Democrats did with Reagan
in the eighties that they had to vote for his
(11:27):
tax cuts.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
All right, quick, Frank, welcome right back. More with our
friend pollster John McLaughlin eight hundred nine to four. One
shot is on number if you want to be a
part of the program as we continue exposing the Fellosy
Party's chaos and corruptions all day.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
This is a sanity show. Look, this country was founded
on freedom. Freedom from a country that forced us to
buy overpriced tea and then trying to blockade us when
we dumped their tea to the ocean.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Well, it's time to throw your overpriced, big wireless contract

dot com for details. I want to continue now with
John McLaughlin McLaughlin and associates examining President Trump and Democrats
(13:03):
and their poll numbers. Democrats are the lowest point ever.
Let's talk about the generic ballot because right now Republicans
have a significant lead. Usually in a mid term, the
party in power in the White House loses seats you
mentioned earlier, and this is something Newde has been preaching
from the rooftop that the Republicans need to move expeditiously
(13:28):
and get their economic plan in place so that we
have time for a recovery because that will greatly impact
the midterm elections. They seem to be on track to
get that done.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Thoughts exactly new It's right and now the Republicans. You
could get cocky because you look at the survey that
we just published, it's on our website MacLaughlin online dot
com that they're up forty eight to forty one. That's
not the Republicans going over fifty. That's the Democrats collapsing.
Now their vote could come back to them if the
Republicans fail. But if the Republicans have it made up
(14:03):
that they're going to succeed, that they're going to have
a pro growth tax cut, that they're going to help
working class middle Americans like they did, like President Trump
did when he passed his first round of tax cuts
in twenty seventeen, that we're looking to make permanent. Now.
The problem was the President. I spoke to him after
he did it, after healthcare, and I said to the President,
he said, why'd you do healthcare first? And he said, well,
(14:25):
McConnell and Ryan told him he needed the savings. So
the tax I said, that's ridiculous, it's that money who
they saving. I mean, healthcare is like stalingred. So the
healthcare effort failed. The tax cuts didn't get passed until
December of twenty seventeen, too late for the midterms to
take effect. So we lost the House and we lost
the Senate, and President Trump got impeached. We cannot let
(14:48):
that happen again. Nuke Gingrich is exactly right. We need
to move to tax cuts early this year, before the summer,
before Memorial Day before they leave to go on any vacation.
These tax cuts need to be passed so that next
year you have a growing economy, so we can do
what we did in two thousand and two, where President
George W. Bush had a grown economy because he stimulated
(15:10):
after the tragedy of nine to eleven had a grown economy.
We've picked up two Senate seats, We've picked up eight
House seats, and we also motivated the Bush two thousand
voters to come out in higher numbers than the Gore
two thousand voters. Trump got seventy seven million votes. There
was in the midterms of twenty and twenty two only
one hundred and twelve million voters total. We need to
(15:33):
have all these Trump voters motivated to come out a
year for November and vote for Republicans for Congress against
these saled Democrats who are just trying to stop us
from succeeding.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I think the biggest motivation for Americans is if this
becomes a nationalized midterm and that would be a referendum
on President Trump and what he's doing, and to not
allow the Democrats to go through what would be predictable impeachment.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
But we're running out.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Of time, right.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We can't go back to inflation, we can't go back
to we can't go back to endless wars, and we
can't go back to open borders. So that's why we
have to fight and win this and and push and
we'll attract Democrats when it's clear we're going to win,
they'll be with us.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
All Right, we appreciate you. John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and associates.
Thank you, sir, Thank you. All right, let's get to
our busy, busy telephones. Ken in the United Socialist Utopia
now known as California, Shaun.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Hi, it's a pleasure to talk with you today.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Pleasure is all mine.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I wanted to talk briefly about the doge, some of
the stuff you're seeing both in the media and things
like like YouTube, which supposedly is an independent person talking.
You see somebody who's being fired or losing their job,
and they're screaming and yelling at Musk and President Trump,
and the whole point is that they're not they're missing
(16:58):
they're missing the point rather, and they should be screamed
at their bosses who screwed up their company. Think of
the USA ideas as a corporation, they embezzled all the money,
gave it away to these stupid causes, and then these
people lose their jobs as a result of the company
going bankrupt.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Look, I don't want to be insensitive or callous or
not concerning towards people that, through really no fault of
their own, are going to end up, you know, hitting
a pretty bumpy road and losing their job.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's not fun for anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But we're really we're at a crossroads here, and it's
it's going to be the entire country's economy.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
We'll be hanging in the balance.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We're now at a point where where when you look
at the percentage of GDP and the amount of money
debt to ratio GDP, it is now at the highest
level since World War Two. If you look at the
amount of money we're paying on interest on the debt
every year, it's more than we pay for national defense.
Then you face the reality that we've got us save
(18:06):
Social Security, Medicaid. You know that is going to be expensive.
The next generation of weaponry is not going to be cheap,
and iron dome and that technology is not going to
be cheap, deporting all of the Biden Harris illegals is
not going to be cheap. Becoming energy dominant, which ultimately
will pay huge dividends for US, is not going to
(18:27):
be cheap. And so the question is are we going
to do what is right now for the long term
health of the entire country and economic prosperity opportunities for
the entire country and deal with this nearly forty trillion
dollars in debt and cut back on waste, fraud and
(18:47):
abuse and return to some sanity in constitutional order, and
that means limited government, greater freedom, and eliminating this is
DEI wokesm Green new dealism, transgenderism abroad, or we're going
to keep stealing from our kids and grandkids. That's the option.
(19:08):
And in the short term, Yeah, there will be adjustments
to people's lives and they will get other jobs. Is
it ideal for them? No, but these are jobs that
people never should have been hired in the first place.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, but you know what, these people need to know
that their collateral damage from being on the sacrifice to
the altar of wokeness. They need to know that, and
they need to be told that so that they can
wake up. And I think if the younger people know this,
like you were talking earlier by eighteen to thirty four group.
(19:42):
The more that's that sympathized, the more they'll they'll realize
the importance of it.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, it's their future that we're stealing their money, you know.
I don't want their money. I don't want to put
them in a hole. We have an obligation to leave
this country in better shape than we then we inherited it,
and we're not doing that right now. We need to
be better stewards and now we're in the middle of
a course correction that has some short term pain associated
(20:11):
with it with but we're staving off. We're preventing a
long term disaster that would impact every single American for generations,
and that has to that has to be dealt with anyway.
I appreciate you. A good call, very thoughtful. Eight hundred
and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program. Joe in New York. What's up, Joe?
(20:33):
How you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Sewan?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
This is Joe from Rockland. We haven't spoken in over
eight years.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Buddy Man, oh Man, why do I remember you?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You must have given me a hard time, and I
think that's what I remember what's going on Joe and Rockland?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Hey man, everything is good man.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You know, I bet you missed me a little bit
deep down in your heart. The good thing is is
I'm still on you know, the great AM seven ten
w R. So you can hear me every day and
our friendship continues through the radio and hopefully through TV.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
A lot of things you told me about. I sat
back and I had to look and I right now
support Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You've been you've been henitized. Well, first, I got to
give you a lot of credit. Let me give you
some props. There are liberals that I will debate with,
just have discussions with and make great points and they
don't care.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They just dismissed them. And then there are.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Other people that like, for example, somebody makes a great
point to me that I hadn't thought of and maybe
points out that I'm wrong. I need to not be
so prideful in my life that I can't accept the
truth for what it is. I try to. You know,
I can accept that point. That's a good that's a
good point. And I just think you're just you just
have a lot more intellectual honesty than most democrats. Most
(21:48):
democrats American people don't want their money wasted the way
we've been describing on this program now since the beginning
of the year, since Donald Trump was inaugurated, they just don't.
And Paul Left a poll shows that, but Democrats still
cling to it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Can you explain why?
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Well, let me tell you. One of some of the
problems that I had is, you know, Trump came out
and he said when you first ran, that Black Americans
should vote for him, and said, what do they have
to lose? And that really resonated in a lot of
African Americans because for years we've been giving our vote
to Democratic Party and we've never really gotten nothing. Avoid
(22:27):
so they know we're going to vote with them, and
people are breaking ranks from that right now. And most
African Americans are Christians. And when you have things such
as men can switch gender and want to swim against women,
things like that, that's not fair. It's not right. And
as a.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Critic, look, I mean, look at all your deep blue cities,
right and let's look at the predominantly minority areas in
New York.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
How are your schools doing there?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Because they tend to have predominantly minority areas tend to
have some of the worst schools in the country. And
yet you're right, it's been a reliable, consistently reliable vote
for Democrats. And what have you got to lose, considering you,
You've given them decades, people have voted for them for decades,
(23:19):
and they their cities are less less safe, less secure
in their schools are horrible for their kids. And Donald
Trump plans to fix the school problem. I'm going to
give the money, you know, back to local authorities and
hopefully they'll they'll better manage it. I'll tell you what
I would do if I was a parent, if I
would voucher the money. Tell me if you like this idea.
Let's say your kids are in a bad school district.
(23:42):
Let's say ten families. Let's say they get voucher twenty
five grand per student in New York. And if you
have ten families that decide, you know, they have kids
the same age, and they're going to put all their
money in a pot, all right, and they're going to
hire the best teacher they can and create a class
of ten ten people. And they're going to spend some
(24:05):
of the money on wherever the classroom is going to be,
and the rest of the money is going to go
to the best teacher that they can find. Who do
you think is going to do better in reading, writing, history, math,
and science. Those kids are the kids in the public school.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Those kids, And I'm gonna tell you why. My son
ended up going to the Hackley School in Terrytown and
gave him such a phenomenal education that when he graduated,
he had one hundred and fifty college offers, including every
single Ivy League school Stafford Point. So he went to
University of Pennsylvania James School Trump went to, and he
(24:39):
graduated from there.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
People that that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Just tell but before that he was in a regular
public school before he went to the Hackley School, and
Hackley stretched him every way possible, reading, math, the history class.
He had to write a thirty page paper in the
twelfth grade before graduating. So if I loved that was
the way to go. The schools have been failing over
(25:04):
and over again. And the problem is is the union
for the school district. They voting democratic and at the
end of the day, our kids are uneducated. I went
through that system. I went to one of the worst
high schools in New York City, you know, and I
ended up going to Beruke College because of the seat program,
(25:25):
and there I met this Jewish professor, Professor Lebski that
you know when I was told him my parents who
were killed two weeks of party, took me under his wing.
He made sure I graduated. He went above and beyond
to helped me with any class I had, not just
the classes that I had with him, and it was
able to change my life. So now me and my
wife had four kids. Two went to Temple University, one
(25:46):
went to Spelman and my son went to University of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But all and you're such a good guy. You're such
a good dad. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And whoever that teacher was, God blessom, what a cool
guy he cared. There are good teachers, and they were
great teachers. Wrote and that's one of them.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
What I wrote him and told him what he did
for me. But it's over forty years. He didn't remember me,
which means he was helping so many people that that's
just what he does. He just helped people that need help.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I mean, there are really good souls in this world.
God God blesses us with the right people at the
right time. Sometimes in the different seasons of our life.
Right anyway, what a great story and what a great dad.
But more importantly, you're intellectual honesty shines through, and you
know the opportunity that you provided your children. My parents
(26:36):
didn't have. They grew up very poor, didn't have much money,
and they worked civil service jobs. My mom in the
prison guard. I've told the story a million times. My
dad probation officer waiter. But they put a priority in
sending their kids to Catholic schools. I went to Catholic
schools for twelve years.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
They didn't have money to send many college and I
wasn't going to take it from them. And when they
passed away, they had nothing like next to nothing, and
they gave everything that they had and every penny of
overtime that they worked towards their kids' education. They put
such a priority on it. And one of the things
they taught me was, you know, with my kids, and
(27:15):
they did go to pretty good schools. But I always
supplemented that because of my work hours, I wasn't able
to do it myself, nor was I inclined to do
it because I I just don't have the patience.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
To be a very good tutor.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And I don't remember how to do algebra, geometry, as
sophisticated chemistry and physics. I'm just not the right guy
to be. It's just better when it's somebody else teaching
your kids. I can't explain it, but I did invest
heavily in providing them tutors when they needed it, and
(27:50):
it was the best investment I made.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
It.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Never thought twice about it, and I kind of did
it because that's what my parents taught me.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But you're a good dad. I really appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Called Joe.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Listen, don't eight years? All right, my friend?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
All right, thanks, it's good talking to you.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Good talking to you. Let's say hi to Tim Washington State.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Tim.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
We got about ninety seconds. They're all yours.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Okay, Sean, glad you're listening to me. I am a
veteran government worker. I spent I'm a disabled veteran ten
years in the Navy and fifteen years in government service.
And I'm on the side. I'm on the financial side
in that government service. And I had no problem with
answering the email from Elon.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I over a million of you did. Yeah, I want
good for you.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
What I do.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
I am a remote worker and I am going back
to the office, which I don't mind that bother me.
And believe it or not, there's a lot more Republicans
in the government like me and veterans, disabled veterans than
you think. We're not all lazy government workers.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I am sure that's true. And the work, especially with veterans,
is essential. We made a promise to these guys and
we need to fulfill it. And I'm glad there are
people like you that work in government. But on the
other hand, there's a lot of waste brodden, abuse.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And yeah, sure.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Redundancy and corruption that has to be weeded out. It's
going to be hard. And then Elon even said to me,
we're going to make mistakes, but we'll quick fix them
as quickly as we can.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Well, I hope they can, and I hope one thing too,
is that if they do reduction and force, you know,
veterans we put on two uniforms. We put it on
once and then we put it on again in government service.
And I'm just hoping that they, you know, they take
care of veterans when it comes down to it. Like
me and many other people that are talking in the
government or veterans, we have groups where we talk offline
(29:45):
and you know, we're all conservative. We all believe in
being fiscally responsible with taxpayers' money. I've done that since
the day I entered government service.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, well, then you know what what you're doing is
a service to the people that served us. I applaud you,
I really do. I've got a roll though, just because
of the constraints of time. Please forgive me and God
bless you. Thank you for serving your country, and thanks
for what you do every day to help our vets.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Okay, Okay, you're welcome, And if you get more time, Seawan,
I have way more information I could give you.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
All Right, Well, we'll hang on to your number and
we'd love to have you back.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
