All Right News round up information over at hour toll

free on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program,
we always welcome back Jillian Michael's health, Wellness, fitness, nutrition
expert and actually gives me personally great advice. Now, Jillian,
by the way, abandoned California because of the nuttiness out there,
like so many people, and like what we're watching on
(00:24):
display against Tesla every single day play out and it's
now gotten to a point where where people that might
have naturally aligned with the Democratic Party want nothing to
do with them. Like our next guest, Jillian Michaels. He
has her own podcast. I don't go want to go
on it because she's going to be brutal to me.
(00:44):
It's called keeping it real. Conversations with Jillian Michaels. California
went so far for you that you decided to leave
that state, and now you see what this party is doing.
They wouldn't stand for the mothers that lost children that
were murdered by by illegal immigrants. They wouldn't stand for
a twelve year old boy who survived cancer. They wouldn't
(01:06):
stand for the wife of a hero law enforcement officer.
They wouldn't stand for a young man who lost his
father and the president announced that he got into West Point.
They wouldn't even stand for no tax on tips or
social Security or overtime. I mean, so, I'm not exactly
sure what this party stands for. And then they wanted
(01:27):
to shut the government down until they got into a
big fight amongst themselves and they realized it was untenable.
What does this party stand for? Men and women's sports,
you know, the rights of illegals over over the safety
of Americans, and what hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars
spent abroad for the Green New Deal and transgenderism?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is that the party?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
DeShawn?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
You know who actually expressed this to me in a
way that made sense so you can understand what they're doing,
not in a way that makes sense so you can
validate it was Jank Hugert when I asked him the
same question you just asked me, and he said, you know,
at some point, the corporate left married the woke left
(02:12):
in a wedding we all missed and didn't want. And
that's basically what's unfolding before our very eyes. And if
I could point out something that I also find deeply alarming.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You see people on the left loving to call everybody
a Nazi. Elon Musk is a Nasi, Trump's a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Everybody's a Nazi except Mahmood Khalil, who supports Alaxa and
said that October seventh was an act of heroism through
the Columbia University Apartheid, a divestment group.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
But he's cool. You want that guy.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
There's that guy who supports killing Jewish kids and raping
Jewish women.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He he supports AMAS.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Amas is a designated terrorist organization, and Hamas has in
their charter the destruction of Israel. And we saw I
don't know what part of murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, and
beheading they don't understand, but the equivalent of forty thousand
Americans died October seventh.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But we're worried about Elon Musk though, because he's the Nazi.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like it's just I think the party has completely lost
their way, and you're seeing that every day as they
continue to double down, triple down with things like what
we saw off the Stated Union, everything you just listed and.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Things like this.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
There's not a day that goes by where I don't
feel more and more, quite honestly disgusted with the party,
and I don't want that. I don't want to feel
that way.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I think that we need a two party system at least,
but I can't help it with all the things that
are going on. It's really grotesque, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know, I announced that I'm buying a Teslat, but
I'm also giving away a Tesla. By the way, you
should register. It would be funny if you want.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Okay, And.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What is he done to deserve this hatred except align
with Donald Trump and save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
What has he done well?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The three things that here is obviously aligned with Donald Trump,
and you've got Trump's arrangement syndrome and all the never Trumper.
So that was an unforgivable crime. If we were to
critique him honestly, if reasonable.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
People say they think he's moving.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A bit too quickly, and he even said, like I listen,
you know, if we make some mistakes, we'll fix almost
fix them quick. If you were to critique him, it
might say, you know, hey, slow down, be a bit
more surgical, But that.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Doesn't beget hatred, it doesn't undo his good intentions.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And then there's the argument that, oh, he's in this
for his own personal enrichment, despite the fact that this
has cost him about one hundred billion dollar.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
One hundred and fifty. But you know, what's a few
few billion dollars if you leverach right.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I mean, I don't see any personal enrichment here. It
seems that the exact opposite had happened. It looks like
the guy's falling on the sword.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Now. I mean, he has a tremendous amount of power.
And oligarchs in the US are.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Obviously real, but they exist on both sides. And if
I'm picking my.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oligarch, I'm choosing Elon Musk over the Bill Gates and
the reed Hoffman's and the George Soroses every single day
of the week.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
How would you describe yourself politically.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now, O God, SHAWNA. I feel like I'm definitely center right.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
If not, you're a Hannity Make America Great Again, rigging conservative.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I think I'm a libertarian in that I believe you
people should.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm pretty libertarian too, actually in a lot on personal issues.
If you're an adult, that's none of my business. That's
my answer.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's really where I think at this point I have
differences from people on the far white is that I
believe two consenting adults should be able to live whatever
life they choose, pray to whatever God they choose, love
who they choose. You know, if they're good people, adopt children,
get all of those things.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
No disagreement for me.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But then you're a nineties liberal, I think, Sean, No,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
A nineties liberal. Now you're absolutely ruining my reputation.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's not fair. I am not an I'm not a
nineties liberal.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But I will tell you, you know, I imagine this. Imagine
Donald Trump's able to pull off peace and you're a
piece in the Middle East and come up with a
partnership with Panama and Greenland, and eventually I think we'll
come to some sort of agreement on tariffs with the
European Union and European countries and Canada. I mean, Canada
(07:00):
puts massive tariffs on our products already, so we already
have a tariff war with Canada that they started. You know,
if you look at EU tariff rates and then you
don't even include VAT taxes, is eight cars. German cars
sold for every one in America because of a ten
percent tax on cars on top of a VAT tax,
(07:21):
a value added tax, or a sales tax, and so
it makes American cars unaffordable. And I find the whole
thing frustrating to me that you know, he's demanding free
and fair trade, or if they want tariffs, they can
have reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
What's so bad about that?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think that we are not used to this kind
of radical transparency. We're used to seeing smiles and handshakes
and hogs and then of course behind closed doors that's
where the horror ball gets played. But Trump plays hardball
right in front and center, and people just aren't used
to it. So you get the shake up, you get
(08:01):
the bumps in the road, you get the economy going
a little haywire for six months, which I believe it
did in the beginning of Reagan's first term, and then
everything lifted up and out after that. But people just
they're not acclimated to it. So when he man handles
world leaders, they freak out that they don't have the
summer forward, and of course they're looking for anything in
(08:22):
everything on the Democrat side to resist everything is resist again.
Whether it's standing up Blake and Riley's family or cutting
waste for an abuse, it's just unilateral resist across the board.
And I think that's going to cost them dearly in
two years and four years and honestly, at this rate,
(08:43):
the next four presidential elections to come unless they make it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I'm perfectly fine with that. You have your entire life,
You've dedicated your life to health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition,
and you know a lot about this. I interviewed Bobby Cannidate.
Let me play cut of him when we went to
Steak in Shake, and I really enjoyed my time with him.
And I'm not saying steak and Shake is perfect. I'm
(09:07):
just saying that they they they want to make improvements.
And here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
One of the components of process foods and that is,
you know, all the science indicates that ULTRABRAD'SSS foods are
what are the principal culprit And this extraordinary explosion the
epidemic we have of chronic disease. What my uncle was president,
three percent of Americans a chronic.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Disease today is sixty percent.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Do we have sixty six percent of adults are diabetic
or pre diabetic.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Thirty eight percent of teens.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
When you and I were kids, Sean the average Pedia
Tribu you would see one case of juvenile diabetes in
his lifetime or a forty or fifty year career. Today,
one out of every three kids who walks through his
office stores diabetic, are pre diabetic, Diabetes and other.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Might have condital diseases.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Are now costing America more than our military budget. We
spend three times two to three times on healthcare what
other countries do, and we have the worst outcomes and
it's not and we have the best medical system in
the world. We are poisoning ourselves. You know, Europe is great,
always had great food. The French fries were always disappointment
(10:22):
because we had the best French fries here. They had
palm frets over there, and they just didn't taste right. Today,
the best French fries in the world are in Europe.
I ordered them every time I go to Belgium or
France or any place else, and the French fries here
don't taste right. And you tasted these, it's a completely
different experience and the customers are raving about it. Other
(10:45):
companies take and shake has been great. We're very grateful
for them for rfking the French fries. They turned me
into a verb, but also Popeyes.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, what are the top five things you would
warn people about that they can do immediately that would
make it make make their food more healthy.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
First thing would just be to eat a whole food,
and that means food in a recognizable form. If it
looks like it came from the ground or it has
a mother, you're good. It could be better. Sure, what
I mean by this is a cheeto does not have
a mother, and there is no such thing as a
cheeto tree. Now listen if you're sure.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I thought they were cheeto trees. I thought they growing
on trees. Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Hey, don't make me mad today it's early and I'm
still mad about the vaping thing. But don't don't here.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
There is no tree.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's Ainsley's the boss, and she said.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
We're giving Sean the first hundred days of Trump's presidency
to quit vaping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm probably sixty percent off it, so I'm almost there.
I'm making progress. I'm dedicated to it. And I gave
my words, so out to keep my word.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well, I love I love that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But if you start to run around the cheeto tree,
if we're gonna get big trouble.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, and in fairness, you are very generous and you
sent us organic beef and fish, and we're very grateful
and we do appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Well, that's nothing compared to all the things that you
do for me and you do for the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Go I should get through a hundred extra days then
if that's the case, but we'll negotiate that at a
future date. I got a roll Billian Michaels. We appreciate
you being on the show and all that you do
to help help inform people and make them, you know, healthier.
I'm buying in more and more every day, as you know.
Eight nine one Shaw is a number if you want
(12:46):
to be a part of the program. All the threats
now still coming in Adam Shift, Jamal Bowman and media Democrats,
you know, just non stop attack Musk, attack Musk, attack Musk.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Anyway, here's the crazy he left.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Do you know Elon Musk Have you met with him?
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I have met him before a time ago when he
was saying.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Was he saying that or you know he was he
was saying.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
I mean, he was kind of an erratic genius. He's
now an erratic evil, not so genius. And you know,
there's all that speculation that he kind of turned because
he didn't get invited to the White House for a
meeting of electric carmakers under the last administration. I don't
know whether that's true, But if it is true, what
does that say about you? That you're going to change
(13:31):
your whole worldview because you got snubbed from an invitation.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
This shows again the American people do not trust Elon Musk.
And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how
do we know because they fired tens of thousands of people.
It was challenging court. The court said the people have
to go back, and now the people are coming back.
He's incompetent, he's a thief, he's a Nazi, and people
(13:57):
don't trust him.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, it's taking a chainsaw
to the federal workforce.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Elon Musk continues his chainsaw attack in Washington.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Taking a chainsaw, if you will, to the federal government.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
That's, you know, decapitating a lot, a lot they slashed.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And had with the chainsaw.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
The slashing and the burning the chainsaw.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Elon Musk with that chainsaw.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I mean he's walking around acting like he's ahead of
does he's, you know, brandishing the chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Nine months pregnant with Elon Musk chainsaw marauding.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
With a chainsaw. Wait a second, buster, put your chainsaw away.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
They cannot attack federal agencies with a chainsaw.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
He's doing it in a way with a chainsaw that
alienates people.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Right hand, chainsaw man that has.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
A chainsaw, that's chainsaw stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
We used the chains Elon Musk is an unelected manchilds
is an unelected man child.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Running around the country with a pretend chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
When we come back, we'll hit the phones toll free
this Friday, eight hundred nine, Shawn straight ahead.
Speaker 13 (15:32):
Sean Hannity, Always concerned for our country, always honoring our
servicemen and service women, and standing up for liberty every day.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
All right, twenty five now to the top of the hour,
eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, If you want
to be a part of the program this Friday, it
is tax season, and I know maybe most of us
are tired of numbers, but here's an important one you
need to hear. Sixteen point five billion dollars. That's how
much money and refunds that the IRS flagged for a
possible identity fraud last year. Let me give you another number,
(16:08):
twenty percent. That's the overall increase in identity theft related
tax fraud in twenty twenty four alone. Now the beauty is,
if your identity is stolen, LifeLock dot com has US
based restoration specialist. They will fix it for you back
by another good number, the million dollar protection package. In fact,
(16:30):
restoration is guaranteed or your money back. And right now,
if you call one eight hundred LifeLock or go to
LifeLock dot com and mention my name Hannity in the
promo code, you'll get forty percent off your first year.
That's forty percent off when you call one eight hundred
LifeLock or go to LifeLock dot com and use the
promo code Hannity Today. All right, let's go to a busy,
(16:52):
busy telephones this Friday and say hi to Sean in Idaho.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sean, how are you?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I see you spend less than a third per student
on education annually than say New York City, and your
results are infinitely better congratulation of the great state of Idaho.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'm not surprised, thank you, Sean.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Yeah, my children go to a charter school that does
very very well as well.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh, I'm glad.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Well. This is in response to the gentleman that was
an atheist and he wanted to know why bad things
happen to good people and he felt that, you know,
that Christ was evil in his opinion because he allows
people to have sicknesses and so forth. Oddly enough, last
night my father in law passed away and.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm very I'm very sorry. I'm sure that's painful.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It is he was. He was a very good man.
I loved him very much. And my wife, of course,
she's broken up pretty bad. But the reason why is
because he teaches us to love and care for others.
When when bad things happen, that's an opportunity for us
to become more like him. He asked us to do
these things, and it's something that's near and dear to
(18:05):
my heart to take care of others. That's why I
serve in the military, That's why I do the things
that I do in my daily life.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Look, i mean, the Bible is pretty clear the human
mind and consciousness and what separates us from animals is
our consciousness is obviously not designed by God to fully
comprehend Him.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And there is there.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Is a obviously a faith component if you believe in
a God of Father, a creator, and the putting aside
any religious particular religious faith or denomination.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Put aside all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But if you believe in a God, a creator of
the heavens and the earth, we don't know the mind
of God, but we have an ability to wonder and
to be an atheist, is what I told this guy.
If you look, we now know, because of science that
there are universes within universes within universes, and there seems
(19:06):
no end to it, and it seems to be getting
bigger as technology and antelegiscopes become more sophisticated in terms
of their engineering and their design. Now there is a
certain beauty and perfection in creation. I mean, gravity alone
(19:26):
is a phenomenon, like these astronauts are going to have
to adapt to gravity once again, and there's certain health
challenges that they face when they get back. But putting
that aside, then you get to the issue of Okay,
if you're an atheist, how did all of this get created?
Where did the energy come from? And to be an atheist,
(19:50):
I contend, you have to believe that something can come
from nothing. And when I press this guy, he would
not answer because he doesn't have an answer. All he
knows is he wants to judge God and he's angry
at God. I think that the Bible's pretty cleared. No,
God didn't promise us an easy life. As a matter
of fact, he says just the opposite. He says that
(20:11):
He is going to shape us and draw us closer
to Him through the challenges that all of us face
in life. Nobody goes through this and life unscathed, without problems,
without challenges, without difficulties, and it's how we overcome them.
Now in my life, I have found that my go
(20:32):
to resolution is my faith, my belief in God, and
I believe in the heavens and the earth, and I believe,
as Jesus said to one of the people on one
side of him when he was being crucified, you know
this day you will be with me in paradise. I
believe the Bible's promise, which is the eye have not seen,
(20:52):
the ear, hath not heard, nor has it entered into
the hearts of man with God has prepared for those
that love the truth. So I believe that you're fa
father in law, that you will one day be reunited
with him, and your wife will be reunited with her dad.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I believe that with all my heart.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Does it take away this thing and the pain of
losing a loved one, No, it doesn't. By the end
of this month, in just a few days, my father
will have been will have died twenty nine years ago,
and I still miss him every day. But I do
have a belief that I will be reunited with him.
And I think he probably looks down from heaven and
in shock and awe, never expecting me to do anything
(21:31):
of worth in my life, to be honest with you,
and he's probably was right in his prediction. I mean,
the betting odds were not with me at that at
that age when he was raising me. But you know,
I'm grateful because I know I stand on his shoulders,
and he sacrificed a lot and had a much harder
life than I did.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Because I had one more idea to this. I believe
that atheism requires a certain level of papathy, and I
see that a lot within people who were atheist and
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
They're intellectually lazy, don't you.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I do, I do.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean, I went through losing my own mother just
in twenty eighteen, just before Christmas, and that was the
hardest thing I've ever went through, was losing my mother.
She was a dear woman. We were very close. She
raised seven kids, A few of us even served in
the military. We've done missions for our church, things like that,
(22:28):
and she always told us to care about other people,
that to be apathetic as to be further from God.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think your mother was right.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Your mother was a wise lady, and obviously she helped
shape you into the man you are today. And I
know I stand on the shoulders of my parents, who
stand on the shoulders of their parents. Both my grandparents
and my parents grew up very, very poor, and they
gave me a work ethic. It wasn't like I was
always getting in trouble. I was off and outworking and
they kind of liked that party they like. They never
(22:59):
questioned when I was twelve years old and came home
at two thirty three o'clock in the morning because I
was working all night. They never questioned it. And I
was out of my bicycle, you know, when I was
ten in Bar in those years when I came seventeen,
a little earlier than the law loud, but I did,
and I'd tend Bar. I'd come home with a wat
of cash. My father would come in while I'm sleeping
and he'd take the money. He wouldn't He'd leave me
(23:20):
a little bit, but not a lot. Anybody stopped taking
my money and he put it in the bank. And
for the years that I went to college, I used
that money to pay for my college, and he did
me a big favor. This is a very special generation,
and that's why I'm so committed right now. We have
a moment in history and opportunity now to leave this
country better off than we found it, and I want
(23:42):
to take full advantage of that. Anyway, my friend, appreciate
the call. God bless you. Eight hundred and nine four
one Sean is our number. If you want to be
a part of the program. Let's say hi to Daniel
Is in Miami. Daniel, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Hard?
Speaker 14 (24:00):
How's it going?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
How's it going? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
I can't complain?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Hey, So what's you mccalluch so?
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I voted for Trump?
Speaker 12 (24:09):
Uh this past election, and and I knew what I
was signing up for. And now since everything is just
moving full speed ahead, you know, it's it's kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
So this gives some backstory.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
In school, I took advantage, like I was able to
use the benefits granted to me as someone with a
learning disability. And I want to know how that's going
to affect kids moving forward that are in school.
Speaker 14 (24:45):
Now with how with the the dissolvement of the Department
of Education, so like I do know that he wants
to reallocate.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Some of the duties that were granted to the Department
of Education to other departments now with the government downsizing, Well,
I know what.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The President said.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
The SBA is going to handle student loans, and the
Department of Health and Human Services are going to handle
kids with special needs. Nutrition programs also will be handled
by the HIHS as well.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, yeah, now think of it though.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I mean, now that you're going to give money to
the states, I think they're going to be way more
attentive to kids with special needs. I think they're going
to end up with more services, not less. I think
now that we're deporting the illegal immigrants in this country,
and you have resources that are no longer going to
be drained from the Department of Education. That will allow
(25:49):
for more attention to those kids that need that special attention.
The states are going to be very experimental, and I
could see, for example, special ed teachers maybe being assigned
X number of kids that they handle, and maybe they're
they're dealing with three, four or five at a time.
And I think the attention is going to be that
much greater for that, and that will result in that
(26:11):
will that will yield better results in the end.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think no, like.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
And then I agree, But like, so an example of like,
because I can only go off of what I've experienced.
You know, so in school, I did have an individual
learning plan because the way that I learned it was
not on par with the other.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Students in my class. So so like I would have
so I would have the ability to step aside and
go through a different classroom to take tests or to
do whatever.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Now, my my concern is, you know, like, and mind
you like?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
I like.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
I'm asking this more of the sense of look, I
have a very liberal relative, and I want to be
able to explain or justify it. Hey, look, this is
why I believe this is a good thing. Like back
when Trump was first running, when he wanted to get
rid of standardized testing, I was all four it, you know,
(27:13):
but I was steered away at that time because I
didn't know any better.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
But like, now, can I ask you this, I'll tell
you where to start with your liberal relatives.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Start with this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
We spend more per capita per student on education than
any industrialized country in the world, and we come in
like thirty seventh depending on the year in reading and
about fortieth in math. Ask them, why would they continue
to support a system that is failing our children, and
(27:50):
especially failing children in deep blue states and deep blue
cities that have and especially in districts that are predominantly
minority that have been so negatively impacted by the by
the current system. Why wouldn't they support innovative change to
make it better? Put it on them. How do you
(28:12):
defend how do you defend systemic and and institutional.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Failure like this? What if? What is? What is the
Democratic Party done? What have they done to deserve your trust?
Speaker 14 (28:23):
No, I mean I mean put it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I'd flip it on them, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, I mean like uh like uh,
like the last election, I unfortunately voted for Biden because
you know, I thought because of the information that I
was receiving. But I went through these last four years
and like, mind you, I've only elected. I've only voted
three times.
Speaker 12 (28:45):
Uh once when I first turned a team, uh like
with Hillary versus Trump, then Trump versus Biden, then Trump
versus Comal, you know, and you know, uh, the information
now I was receiving before, you know, I.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
Was like, oh yeah, like yeah, this is good, you know.
But like I've had life experience to now that I
worked in the medical field and I'm working in a
blue collar job where I'm like, no, this doesn't this
is not sustainable, and I can't and like and I
justified myself saying, look, there's no way that this next
(29:28):
four years, if the things did not turn out the
way that they did, it was going to be beneficial.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
So yeah, let.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Me give you another way to say it. And then
I have to run for the constraints of time.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What have you got? What have we got to lose?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
We're already at the bottom of the list in terms
of educational scores or industrialized countries. What what what? What
are we risking here nothing. You know what, We've got
to lose nothing. But I'll tell you what's I predict
what's going to happen. You're going to see test scores
go up. It'll take a little time, and then they're
going to go up dramatically. And the most innovative governors
(30:09):
and those that can think out of the box are
going to be the most successful because they're going to
focus on students and they're going to focus on course
subjects reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers and give
these kids the latter to success that is necessary in America.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What is your plan?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
If that God forbid moment comes, somebody breaks into your
house wants to bring harm to you and your family,
your first plan should be to try and escape with
any without any confrontation. Okay, plan A Plan B before
you go to the lethal option unless you have no choice.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
For me, it's the less lethal.

(31:24):
his way to his night shift and erratic driver swerves
past him, then gets angry, throws his vehicle in reverse,
exited the car. Adam then quickly assays that this guy
was clearly intoxicated aggressively approaching him. He was prepared to
defend himself. He took out his burner and he dialed
nine one one, put the laser on the man's chest,
(31:46):
and the road raging driver wasn't that drunk. He was
smart enough to back off retreated to his vehicle. Law
enforcement arrived shortly thereafter confirmed Adam's correct use of force.

All Right News round up information over at hour toll
(00:02):
free on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program,
we always welcome back Jillian Michael's health, Wellness, fitness, nutrition
expert and actually gives me personally great advice. Now, Jillian,
by the way, abandoned California because of the nuttiness out there,
like so many people, and like what we're watching on
(00:24):
display against Tesla every single day play out and it's
now gotten to a point where where people that might
have naturally aligned with the Democratic Party want nothing to
do with them. Like our next guest, Jillian Michaels. He
has her own podcast. I don't go want to go
on it because she's going to be brutal to me.
(00:44):
It's called keeping it real. Conversations with Jillian Michaels. California
went so far for you that you decided to leave
that state, and now you see what this party is doing.
They wouldn't stand for the mothers that lost children that
were murdered by by illegal immigrants. They wouldn't stand for
a twelve year old boy who survived cancer. They wouldn't
(01:06):
stand for the wife of a hero law enforcement officer.
They wouldn't stand for a young man who lost his
father and the president announced that he got into West Point.
They wouldn't even stand for no tax on tips or
social Security or overtime. I mean, so, I'm not exactly
sure what this party stands for. And then they wanted
(01:27):
to shut the government down until they got into a
big fight amongst themselves and they realized it was untenable.
What does this party stand for? Men and women's sports,
you know, the rights of illegals over over the safety
of Americans, and what hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars
spent abroad for the Green New Deal and transgenderism?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is that the party?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
DeShawn?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
You know who actually expressed this to me in a
way that made sense so you can understand what they're doing,
not in a way that makes sense so you can
validate it was Jank Hugert when I asked him the
same question you just asked me, and he said, you know,
at some point, the corporate left married the woke left
(02:12):
in a wedding we all missed and didn't want. And
that's basically what's unfolding before our very eyes. And if
I could point out something that I also find deeply alarming.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You see people on the left loving to call everybody
a Nazi. Elon Musk is a Nasi, Trump's a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Everybody's a Nazi except Mahmood Khalil, who supports Alaxa and
said that October seventh was an act of heroism through
the Columbia University Apartheid, a divestment group.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
But he's cool. You want that guy.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
There's that guy who supports killing Jewish kids and raping
Jewish women.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He he supports AMAS.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Amas is a designated terrorist organization, and Hamas has in
their charter the destruction of Israel. And we saw I
don't know what part of murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, and
beheading they don't understand, but the equivalent of forty thousand
Americans died October seventh.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But we're worried about Elon Musk though, because he's the Nazi.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like it's just I think the party has completely lost
their way, and you're seeing that every day as they
continue to double down, triple down with things like what
we saw off the Stated Union, everything you just listed and.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Things like this.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
There's not a day that goes by where I don't
feel more and more, quite honestly disgusted with the party,
and I don't want that. I don't want to feel
that way.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I think that we need a two party system at least,
but I can't help it with all the things that
are going on. It's really grotesque, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know, I announced that I'm buying a Teslat, but
I'm also giving away a Tesla. By the way, you
should register. It would be funny if you want.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Okay, And.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What is he done to deserve this hatred except align
with Donald Trump and save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
What has he done well?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The three things that here is obviously aligned with Donald Trump,
and you've got Trump's arrangement syndrome and all the never Trumper.
So that was an unforgivable crime. If we were to
critique him honestly, if reasonable.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
People say they think he's moving.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A bit too quickly, and he even said, like I listen,
you know, if we make some mistakes, we'll fix almost
fix them quick. If you were to critique him, it
might say, you know, hey, slow down, be a bit
more surgical, But that.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Doesn't beget hatred, it doesn't undo his good intentions.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And then there's the argument that, oh, he's in this
for his own personal enrichment, despite the fact that this
has cost him about one hundred billion dollar.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
One hundred and fifty. But you know, what's a few
few billion dollars if you leverach right.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I mean, I don't see any personal enrichment here. It
seems that the exact opposite had happened. It looks like
the guy's falling on the sword.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Now. I mean, he has a tremendous amount of power.
And oligarchs in the US are.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Obviously real, but they exist on both sides. And if
I'm picking my.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oligarch, I'm choosing Elon Musk over the Bill Gates and
the reed Hoffman's and the George Soroses every single day
of the week.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
How would you describe yourself politically.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Now, O God, SHAWNA. I feel like I'm definitely center right.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
If not, you're a Hannity Make America Great Again, rigging conservative.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I think I'm a libertarian in that I believe you
people should.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm pretty libertarian too, actually in a lot on personal issues.
If you're an adult, that's none of my business. That's
my answer.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's really where I think at this point I have
differences from people on the far white is that I
believe two consenting adults should be able to live whatever
life they choose, pray to whatever God they choose, love
who they choose. You know, if they're good people, adopt children,
get all of those things.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
No disagreement for me.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
But then you're a nineties liberal, I think, Sean, No,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
A nineties liberal. Now you're absolutely ruining my reputation.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's not fair. I am not an I'm not a
nineties liberal.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But I will tell you, you know, I imagine this. Imagine
Donald Trump's able to pull off peace and you're a
piece in the Middle East and come up with a
partnership with Panama and Greenland, and eventually I think we'll
come to some sort of agreement on tariffs with the
European Union and European countries and Canada. I mean, Canada
(07:00):
puts massive tariffs on our products already, so we already
have a tariff war with Canada that they started. You know,
if you look at EU tariff rates and then you
don't even include VAT taxes, is eight cars. German cars
sold for every one in America because of a ten
percent tax on cars on top of a VAT tax,
(07:21):
a value added tax, or a sales tax, and so
it makes American cars unaffordable. And I find the whole
thing frustrating to me that you know, he's demanding free
and fair trade, or if they want tariffs, they can
have reciprocal tariffs.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
What's so bad about that?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think that we are not used to this kind
of radical transparency. We're used to seeing smiles and handshakes
and hogs and then of course behind closed doors that's
where the horror ball gets played. But Trump plays hardball
right in front and center, and people just aren't used
to it. So you get the shake up, you get
(08:01):
the bumps in the road, you get the economy going
a little haywire for six months, which I believe it
did in the beginning of Reagan's first term, and then
everything lifted up and out after that. But people just
they're not acclimated to it. So when he man handles
world leaders, they freak out that they don't have the
summer forward, and of course they're looking for anything in
(08:22):
everything on the Democrat side to resist everything is resist again.
Whether it's standing up Blake and Riley's family or cutting
waste for an abuse, it's just unilateral resist across the board.
And I think that's going to cost them dearly in
two years and four years and honestly, at this rate,
(08:43):
the next four presidential elections to come unless they make it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I'm perfectly fine with that. You have your entire life,
You've dedicated your life to health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition,
and you know a lot about this. I interviewed Bobby Cannidate.
Let me play cut of him when we went to
Steak in Shake, and I really enjoyed my time with him.
And I'm not saying steak and Shake is perfect. I'm
(09:07):
just saying that they they they want to make improvements.
And here's what he said.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
One of the components of process foods and that is,
you know, all the science indicates that ULTRABRAD'SSS foods are
what are the principal culprit And this extraordinary explosion the
epidemic we have of chronic disease. What my uncle was president,
three percent of Americans a chronic.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Disease today is sixty percent.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Do we have sixty six percent of adults are diabetic
or pre diabetic.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Thirty eight percent of teens.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
When you and I were kids, Sean the average Pedia
Tribu you would see one case of juvenile diabetes in
his lifetime or a forty or fifty year career. Today,
one out of every three kids who walks through his
office stores diabetic, are pre diabetic, Diabetes and other.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Might have condital diseases.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Are now costing America more than our military budget. We
spend three times two to three times on healthcare what
other countries do, and we have the worst outcomes and
it's not and we have the best medical system in
the world. We are poisoning ourselves. You know, Europe is great,
always had great food. The French fries were always disappointment
(10:22):
because we had the best French fries here. They had
palm frets over there, and they just didn't taste right. Today,
the best French fries in the world are in Europe.
I ordered them every time I go to Belgium or
France or any place else, and the French fries here
don't taste right. And you tasted these, it's a completely
different experience and the customers are raving about it. Other
(10:45):
companies take and shake has been great. We're very grateful
for them for rfking the French fries. They turned me
into a verb, but also Popeyes.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, what are the top five things you would
warn people about that they can do immediately that would
make it make make their food more healthy.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
First thing would just be to eat a whole food,
and that means food in a recognizable form. If it
looks like it came from the ground or it has
a mother, you're good. It could be better. Sure, what
I mean by this is a cheeto does not have
a mother, and there is no such thing as a
cheeto tree. Now listen if you're sure.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I thought they were cheeto trees. I thought they growing
on trees. Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Hey, don't make me mad today it's early and I'm
still mad about the vaping thing. But don't don't here.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
There is no tree.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's Ainsley's the boss, and she said.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
We're giving Sean the first hundred days of Trump's presidency
to quit vaping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm probably sixty percent off it, so I'm almost there.
I'm making progress. I'm dedicated to it. And I gave
my words, so out to keep my word.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well, I love I love that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But if you start to run around the cheeto tree,
if we're gonna get big trouble.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, and in fairness, you are very generous and you
sent us organic beef and fish, and we're very grateful
and we do appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Well, that's nothing compared to all the things that you
do for me and you do for the rest of us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Go I should get through a hundred extra days then
if that's the case, but we'll negotiate that at a
future date. I got a roll Billian Michaels. We appreciate
you being on the show and all that you do
to help help inform people and make them, you know, healthier.
I'm buying in more and more every day, as you know.
Eight nine one Shaw is a number if you want
(12:46):
to be a part of the program. All the threats
now still coming in Adam Shift, Jamal Bowman and media Democrats,
you know, just non stop attack Musk, attack Musk, attack Musk.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Anyway, here's the crazy he left.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Do you know Elon Musk Have you met with him?
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I have met him before a time ago when he
was saying.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Was he saying that or you know he was he
was saying.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
I mean, he was kind of an erratic genius. He's
now an erratic evil, not so genius. And you know,
there's all that speculation that he kind of turned because
he didn't get invited to the White House for a
meeting of electric carmakers under the last administration. I don't
know whether that's true, But if it is true, what
does that say about you? That you're going to change
(13:31):
your whole worldview because you got snubbed from an invitation.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
This shows again the American people do not trust Elon Musk.
And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how
do we know because they fired tens of thousands of people.
It was challenging court. The court said the people have
to go back, and now the people are coming back.
He's incompetent, he's a thief, he's a Nazi, and people
(13:57):
don't trust him.
Speaker 12 (13:58):
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, it's taking a chainsaw
to the federal workforce.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Elon Musk continues his chainsaw attack in Washington.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Taking a chainsaw, if you will, to the federal government.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
That's, you know, decapitating a lot, a lot they slashed.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And had with the chainsaw.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
The slashing and the burning the chainsaw.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Elon Musk with that chainsaw.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I mean he's walking around acting like he's ahead of
does he's, you know, brandishing the chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Nine months pregnant with Elon Musk chainsaw marauding.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
With a chainsaw. Wait a second, buster, put your chainsaw away.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
They cannot attack federal agencies with a chainsaw.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
He's doing it in a way with a chainsaw that
alienates people.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Right hand, chainsaw man that has.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
A chainsaw, that's chainsaw stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
We used the chains Elon Musk is an unelected manchilds
is an unelected man child.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Running around the country with a pretend chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
When we come back, we'll hit the phones toll free
this Friday, eight hundred nine, Shawn straight ahead.
Speaker 13 (15:32):
Sean Hannity, Always concerned for our country, always honoring our
servicemen and service women, and standing up for liberty every day.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
All right, twenty five now to the top of the hour,
eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, If you want
to be a part of the program this Friday, it
is tax season, and I know maybe most of us
are tired of numbers, but here's an important one you
need to hear. Sixteen point five billion dollars. That's how
much money and refunds that the IRS flagged for a
possible identity fraud last year. Let me give you another number,
(16:08):
twenty percent. That's the overall increase in identity theft related
tax fraud in twenty twenty four alone. Now the beauty is,
if your identity is stolen, LifeLock dot com has US
based restoration specialist. They will fix it for you back
by another good number, the million dollar protection package. In fact,
(16:30):
restoration is guaranteed or your money back. And right now,
if you call one eight hundred LifeLock or go to
LifeLock dot com and mention my name Hannity in the
promo code, you'll get forty percent off your first year.
That's forty percent off when you call one eight hundred
LifeLock or go to LifeLock dot com and use the
promo code Hannity Today. All right, let's go to a busy,
(16:52):
busy telephones this Friday and say hi to Sean in Idaho.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sean, how are you?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I see you spend less than a third per student
on education annually than say New York City, and your
results are infinitely better congratulation of the great state of Idaho.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'm not surprised, thank you, Sean.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Yeah, my children go to a charter school that does
very very well as well.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh, I'm glad.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Well. This is in response to the gentleman that was
an atheist and he wanted to know why bad things
happen to good people and he felt that, you know,
that Christ was evil in his opinion because he allows
people to have sicknesses and so forth. Oddly enough, last
night my father in law passed away and.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm very I'm very sorry. I'm sure that's painful.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It is he was. He was a very good man.
I loved him very much. And my wife, of course,
she's broken up pretty bad. But the reason why is
because he teaches us to love and care for others.
When when bad things happen, that's an opportunity for us
to become more like him. He asked us to do
these things, and it's something that's near and dear to
(18:05):
my heart to take care of others. That's why I
serve in the military, That's why I do the things
that I do in my daily life.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Look, i mean, the Bible is pretty clear the human
mind and consciousness and what separates us from animals is
our consciousness is obviously not designed by God to fully
comprehend Him.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And there is there.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Is a obviously a faith component if you believe in
a God of Father, a creator, and the putting aside
any religious particular religious faith or denomination.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Put aside all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But if you believe in a God, a creator of
the heavens and the earth, we don't know the mind
of God, but we have an ability to wonder and
to be an atheist, is what I told this guy.
If you look, we now know, because of science that
there are universes within universes within universes, and there seems
(19:06):
no end to it, and it seems to be getting
bigger as technology and antelegiscopes become more sophisticated in terms
of their engineering and their design. Now there is a
certain beauty and perfection in creation. I mean, gravity alone
(19:26):
is a phenomenon, like these astronauts are going to have
to adapt to gravity once again, and there's certain health
challenges that they face when they get back. But putting
that aside, then you get to the issue of Okay,
if you're an atheist, how did all of this get created?
Where did the energy come from? And to be an atheist,
(19:50):
I contend, you have to believe that something can come
from nothing. And when I press this guy, he would
not answer because he doesn't have an answer. All he
knows is he wants to judge God and he's angry
at God. I think that the Bible's pretty cleared. No,
God didn't promise us an easy life. As a matter
of fact, he says just the opposite. He says that
(20:11):
He is going to shape us and draw us closer
to Him through the challenges that all of us face
in life. Nobody goes through this and life unscathed, without problems,
without challenges, without difficulties, and it's how we overcome them.
Now in my life, I have found that my go
(20:32):
to resolution is my faith, my belief in God, and
I believe in the heavens and the earth, and I believe,
as Jesus said to one of the people on one
side of him when he was being crucified, you know
this day you will be with me in paradise. I
believe the Bible's promise, which is the eye have not seen,
(20:52):
the ear, hath not heard, nor has it entered into
the hearts of man with God has prepared for those
that love the truth. So I believe that you're fa
father in law, that you will one day be reunited
with him, and your wife will be reunited with her dad.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I believe that with all my heart.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Does it take away this thing and the pain of
losing a loved one, No, it doesn't. By the end
of this month, in just a few days, my father
will have been will have died twenty nine years ago,
and I still miss him every day. But I do
have a belief that I will be reunited with him.
And I think he probably looks down from heaven and
in shock and awe, never expecting me to do anything
(21:31):
of worth in my life, to be honest with you,
and he's probably was right in his prediction. I mean,
the betting odds were not with me at that at
that age when he was raising me. But you know,
I'm grateful because I know I stand on his shoulders,
and he sacrificed a lot and had a much harder
life than I did.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Because I had one more idea to this. I believe
that atheism requires a certain level of papathy, and I
see that a lot within people who were atheist and
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
They're intellectually lazy, don't you.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I do, I do.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean, I went through losing my own mother just
in twenty eighteen, just before Christmas, and that was the
hardest thing I've ever went through, was losing my mother.
She was a dear woman. We were very close. She
raised seven kids, A few of us even served in
the military. We've done missions for our church, things like that,
(22:28):
and she always told us to care about other people,
that to be apathetic as to be further from God.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I think your mother was right.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Your mother was a wise lady, and obviously she helped
shape you into the man you are today. And I
know I stand on the shoulders of my parents, who
stand on the shoulders of their parents. Both my grandparents
and my parents grew up very, very poor, and they
gave me a work ethic. It wasn't like I was
always getting in trouble. I was off and outworking and
they kind of liked that party they like. They never
(22:59):
questioned when I was twelve years old and came home
at two thirty three o'clock in the morning because I
was working all night. They never questioned it. And I
was out of my bicycle, you know, when I was
ten in Bar in those years when I came seventeen,
a little earlier than the law loud, but I did,
and I'd tend Bar. I'd come home with a wat
of cash. My father would come in while I'm sleeping
and he'd take the money. He wouldn't He'd leave me
(23:20):
a little bit, but not a lot. Anybody stopped taking
my money and he put it in the bank. And
for the years that I went to college, I used
that money to pay for my college, and he did
me a big favor. This is a very special generation,
and that's why I'm so committed right now. We have
a moment in history and opportunity now to leave this
country better off than we found it, and I want
(23:42):
to take full advantage of that. Anyway, my friend, appreciate
the call. God bless you. Eight hundred and nine four
one Sean is our number. If you want to be
a part of the program. Let's say hi to Daniel
Is in Miami. Daniel, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Hard?
Speaker 14 (24:00):
How's it going?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
How's it going? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
I can't complain?
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Hey, So what's you mccalluch so?
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I voted for Trump?
Speaker 12 (24:09):
Uh this past election, and and I knew what I
was signing up for. And now since everything is just
moving full speed ahead, you know, it's it's kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
So this gives some backstory.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
In school, I took advantage, like I was able to
use the benefits granted to me as someone with a
learning disability. And I want to know how that's going
to affect kids moving forward that are in school.
Speaker 14 (24:45):
Now with how with the the dissolvement of the Department
of Education, so like I do know that he wants
to reallocate.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Some of the duties that were granted to the Department
of Education to other departments now with the government downsizing, Well,
I know what.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The President said.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
The SBA is going to handle student loans, and the
Department of Health and Human Services are going to handle
kids with special needs. Nutrition programs also will be handled
by the HIHS as well.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, yeah, now think of it though.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I mean, now that you're going to give money to
the states, I think they're going to be way more
attentive to kids with special needs. I think they're going
to end up with more services, not less. I think
now that we're deporting the illegal immigrants in this country,
and you have resources that are no longer going to
be drained from the Department of Education. That will allow
(25:49):
for more attention to those kids that need that special attention.
The states are going to be very experimental, and I
could see, for example, special ed teachers maybe being assigned
X number of kids that they handle, and maybe they're
they're dealing with three, four or five at a time.
And I think the attention is going to be that
much greater for that, and that will result in that
(26:11):
will that will yield better results in the end.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I think no, like.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
And then I agree, But like, so an example of like,
because I can only go off of what I've experienced.
You know, so in school, I did have an individual
learning plan because the way that I learned it was
not on par with the other.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Students in my class. So so like I would have
so I would have the ability to step aside and
go through a different classroom to take tests or to
do whatever.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Now, my my concern is, you know, like, and mind
you like?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
I like.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
I'm asking this more of the sense of look, I
have a very liberal relative, and I want to be
able to explain or justify it. Hey, look, this is
why I believe this is a good thing. Like back
when Trump was first running, when he wanted to get
rid of standardized testing, I was all four it, you know,
(27:13):
but I was steered away at that time because I
didn't know any better.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
But like, now, can I ask you this, I'll tell
you where to start with your liberal relatives.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Start with this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
We spend more per capita per student on education than
any industrialized country in the world, and we come in
like thirty seventh depending on the year in reading and
about fortieth in math. Ask them, why would they continue
to support a system that is failing our children, and
(27:50):
especially failing children in deep blue states and deep blue
cities that have and especially in districts that are predominantly
minority that have been so negatively impacted by the by
the current system. Why wouldn't they support innovative change to
make it better? Put it on them. How do you
(28:12):
defend how do you defend systemic and and institutional.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Failure like this? What if? What is? What is the
Democratic Party done? What have they done to deserve your trust?
Speaker 14 (28:23):
No, I mean I mean put it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I'd flip it on them, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, I mean like uh like uh,
like the last election, I unfortunately voted for Biden because
you know, I thought because of the information that I
was receiving. But I went through these last four years
and like, mind you, I've only elected. I've only voted
three times.
Speaker 12 (28:45):
Uh once when I first turned a team, uh like
with Hillary versus Trump, then Trump versus Biden, then Trump
versus Comal, you know, and you know, uh, the information
now I was receiving before, you know, I.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
Was like, oh yeah, like yeah, this is good, you know.
But like I've had life experience to now that I
worked in the medical field and I'm working in a
blue collar job where I'm like, no, this doesn't this
is not sustainable, and I can't and like and I
justified myself saying, look, there's no way that this next
(29:28):
four years, if the things did not turn out the
way that they did, it was going to be beneficial.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
So yeah, let.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Me give you another way to say it. And then
I have to run for the constraints of time.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What have you got? What have we got to lose?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
We're already at the bottom of the list in terms
of educational scores or industrialized countries. What what what? What
are we risking here nothing. You know what, We've got
to lose nothing. But I'll tell you what's I predict
what's going to happen. You're going to see test scores
go up. It'll take a little time, and then they're
going to go up dramatically. And the most innovative governors
(30:09):
and those that can think out of the box are
going to be the most successful because they're going to
focus on students and they're going to focus on course
subjects reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers and give
these kids the latter to success that is necessary in America.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What is your plan?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
If that God forbid moment comes, somebody breaks into your
house wants to bring harm to you and your family,
your first plan should be to try and escape with
any without any confrontation. Okay, plan A Plan B before
you go to the lethal option unless you have no choice.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
For me, it's the less lethal.

(31:24):
his way to his night shift and erratic driver swerves
past him, then gets angry, throws his vehicle in reverse,
exited the car. Adam then quickly assays that this guy
was clearly intoxicated aggressively approaching him. He was prepared to
defend himself. He took out his burner and he dialed
nine one one, put the laser on the man's chest,
(31:46):
and the road raging driver wasn't that drunk. He was
smart enough to back off retreated to his vehicle. Law
enforcement arrived shortly thereafter confirmed Adam's correct use of force.
