The best of Sean Hennedy is on.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Now, Well, we'll come out to your city one of
pay I get, I'll sing you a confidence zone, will
be Desire Hotel, and if.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You want a little banging a yun ain't come along.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
They understand that we have a Timu Hitler in the
White House right now.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
That thinks that he is going to become the dictator
of the United States. The time is up for playing
in our faces.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
He has to be brought down. And I don't mean physically,
I'm talking about politically.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
We will bring him down. He will be impeached again.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
And it sounds melodramatic to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know freedom is.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Back in style. Welcome to the revolution, be.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Away of coming to your center, going away out against
az and sane you a conscious soil.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
New Sean Hennity Show, more me I'm the Scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Thank you, Scott Shannon, Thanks to all of you for
being with us. Write down our toll free telephone number
if you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred nine to fourt one. Sean, if you
want to join us now. The President, Donald Trump has
said today that he has directed the Department of Commerce
to launch preparations for a new and highly accurate national census.
(01:45):
According to a post that he put on his truth
social account, I'll read it to you. It says, I
have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work
on a new and highly accurate census based on modern
day facts and figures, and and importantly, using the results
and information gained from the presidential election of twenty twenty four.
(02:07):
He said, people who are in the country illegally will
not be counted in the census. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. Now, what is interesting in all
of this. Under the US Constitution, the US Census Bureau
is required to conduct account every ten years of every
resident of the country, regardless of citizenship or legal status. Now,
(02:33):
the census is used to determine how many members of
Congress are elected from each state. And there's one little
problem when you get to all of this. Illegal immigrants
should not be counted and used to create congressional districts.
They're not in the country illegally. Now, all of this
stems from the fact that what the Democrats have mastered,
(02:58):
which is jerrymandering, what they have been experts at, which
is jerry mandering. What they have done in every blue
state has been effective in taking away representation from Republicans
in all of these states. I've been giving you the numbers.
I won't stop giving you the numbers. New York, for example,
(03:20):
in that particular state, and I think New York is
representative of many. If you look at Republicans for House seats,
they won forty two percent of the vote. They only
have statewide twenty seven percent of the seats available. But
it's a nationwide trend. California Republicans for House votes they
win thirty nine percent of the vote, they have only
(03:41):
seventeen percent of the states. In Connecticut, Republicans want a
respectable forty percent of the House vote, they have zero seats.
Illinois the most jerry mannered you know, map or state
in the country. Republicans won a very respectable forty seven
percent of the state wide vote, but they only have
eighteen percent of congressional seats. Maryland they won thirty five percent,
(04:04):
but they only have twelve percent of representation of Republicans.
Massachusetts and this is what's funny about the governor of
Massachusetts say, way, you've got to fight fire with fire, Okay.
In the state of Massachusetts, Trump won thirty six percent
of the vote. They don't have one Republican have not
had a Republican congressional seat going in back to the
(04:24):
nineteen nineties. New Jersey Republicans get forty five percent of
the House vote, they have twenty seven percent. In Nevada,
Republicans won the state white House vote by ten points,
walked away with one single House seat in the whole state.
New Mexico forty five percent state white House votes, zero seats,
(04:45):
Oregon forty two percent state white House vote, seventeen percent
of the seats, Washington State forty two percent state white
House vote, less than fifty less than half of that
twenty percent of the seats. That's it. And now the
Massachusetts governor is actually heal. He's threatening a redistrict or
(05:05):
state even though it now has zero Republican House members.
One Texas Democrat comparing Republican redistricting and jerrymandering to the Holocaust.
And then James Carvell is going full scorch to Earth
and talking about if Democrats get back empowered. They will
unilaterally add Puerto Rico and the DC and declare them
(05:27):
and give them statehood, which would give Democrats in their
minds for additional Senate seats and more congressional representation. Also
talked about expanding the Supreme Court to thirteen members, packing
the court. Now, all of this in response to the
fact that all that the Texas Governor Greg Abbott wants
(05:48):
to do is followed the same rules that have been
applied in blue states to his red state of Texas,
and this is sent to Democratic Party spirally. Anyway, Texas
Governor front of the program, Greg Abbott is back with
those Governor. I love everything you do. It's like when
the borders were wide open and you said, okay, well
(06:08):
you're a sanctuary city or state, we're going to send
all of our illegal immigrants to your state. That was
political jiu jitsu at the highest level.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Well, Sean, I tell you you're doing a great job
of exposing the jerrymandering that's taking place across the entire country.
I got to be honest with you, I think if
Texas were not doing redistricting right now, most of America
would not know about the facts. You just articulated, and
it must be reemphasized. All of the large blue states
in the country have been jerrymander to the maximum amount,
(06:42):
and all Texas is really doing is based upon a
change in the law. We are no longer requiring coalition districts,
and we were able to ensure that voters in the
state of Texas who are voting for Congress get to
vote for their Canada choice. We're creating five new seats
where the voters in those districts they voted for Donald Trump,
(07:04):
but they were also against their will, packed in a
district where they had to exist under a Democrats member
of Congress. We're just redrawing the lines as fully authorized
by law, and Texas is nowhere near gone to the
extreme ways that you see Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, California,
and so many of the Blue states.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
All right, and by the way, I want to emphasize here,
this is perfectly legal. I had on your Attorney General Paxton,
he was on, I had Dan Patrick on again, both
emphasizing that this is perfectly legal. There's nothing Democrats can do. Instead,
they picked up their toys and they went to of
all places I thought somewhat ironically Illinois, where you know
(07:48):
it's the most gerrymandered state in the country.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Which is amazing unto itself. They're flaying. So Texas is
known as a state where you stay and fight, but
were known because of the Battle of the Alamo, where
everybody chose to state and fight even though they faced
a our outcome. And now we have Democrats who turn
and flee whenever they don't get their way. And I
(08:13):
got to tell you this is hurting them back in
their home districts. For one, every one of their voters.
They have to go to work, and if their voters
don't show up to work, they'll get fired. These Democrat
members of the Texas House, they think they don't have
to show up to work. Their voters will remind them.
Their voters will also remind them they don't like Texas
(08:33):
legislators cutting and running. The last thing I'll tell you, Sean,
is this we are still grappling or with the devastation
of the floods that ripped across central Texas and especially
the Kurbille area. I put on this thirty day special
session agenda helping to address the victims of this horrific
flooding and the Democrats turn their back on Texans and
(08:54):
repairing from the floods. The reparation from the floods has
been slowed because Democrats chose to go to Chicago and
New York and other letist areas.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
All right, let's talk about what options you have available
to force them back either into the state so you
can get a quorum and you can have the vote
take place, and and of course the emergency moneies that
are needed for the victims of the flood. By the way, again,
Governor will express to you my sinceres, you know, prayers
(09:26):
and regrets of all that you've gone through there. It's
been very tough for the people of Texas. I know
a lot of people that were very close to the
camp in that that that I think it was what
Camp Mystic and all the people that lost loved ones.
It's heartbreaking what happened.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
There, well, it's horrendous. We are still searching for two
people who remain missing around the Camp Mystic area, including
one of the campers there. And while that search continues,
while we continue the process of rebuilding those communities, we're
trying to implement reforms such as warnings and things that
(10:04):
would actually save lives, and these Democrats have chosen to
play politics over saving lives by running to Illinois. And
you got to understand this, Sean, It's a feudal exercise
the Democrats are going through. They've done this before. Every
time they break warm and run off to some of
the state. They eventually come back, and they will come back,
(10:25):
whether it be tomorrow, the next day, or next week,
whatever the case may be. But what they did in
the meantime, they slowed the recovery process of the people
who desperately needed the most. And the people who can
remember that here in the upcoming elections will be the
voters who knew they had a Democrat who was a chicken,
a coward, and they run off to some other state
as opposed to taking care of business.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Let's talk about you going to the state Supreme Court.
What are you asking them to do? And when do
you expect a decision?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
I fought in the lawsuit in the Texas Supreme Court
two days ago asting the removal of the ring leader
of the Democrat operation. He's the chair of the Democrat
Caucus and there's plenty of evidence to show that he
has abandoned his office. There's a legal term called coo wronto,
and that proceeding is brought before the Texas Supreme Court.
(11:18):
I'm allowed to go directly to the Supreme Court, as
opposed to a trial court to seek the removal. The
same night that I fouled that petition in the Supreme Court,
the Supreme Court issued in order to this legislator his
name is Jean Wu, telling jing Wu he had to
respond by tomorrow to the legal action that I've taken.
My point is this, the Supreme Court of Texas has
(11:39):
taken this very serious, looking very closely at the possibility
of removing from office the ring leader of the Democrat
operation that runs a runaway from Texas abandoned their duty
and is preventing the Texas Legislature from taking action. One
last point about this. The Technics Constitution is clear. It
(12:00):
says that the legislature shall conduct business and take up
bills as they arise, and take action on those bills.
And it doesn't say that you can cut and run
and prevent action. They must take action. So they are
in direct violation of the constitution. They should be removed
from office. And that's what I'm seeking at the Texas
(12:21):
Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Let's just imagine a scenario, and I hope it doesn't
come to fruition where they maybe the court doesn't go
your way. Whenever you get before a court, you never
know how it's going to turn out. And these people
just stay away and stay away, and stay away, and
stay away and stay away. At some point, there's got
(12:43):
to be some mechanism to compel them to do their
job and show up.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Well, let's talk about what is possible, and that is
as we're talking on the phone right now, there are
Texas law enforcements who are scouring the staves. We have
a drag net going on around the state looking for
some of the Democrat House members who are still here
in the Seate of Texas, and we will seek to
(13:11):
arrest them and bring them to the Texas Capitol, and
we may have enough vote or a quorum sometime soon
without even having to worry about these people who run
away from doing their job.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
In other words, as a matter of law, you have
the ability to pick up elected officials and bring them
to the state capitol, and their very presence is enough
to create the quorum that would allow for the vote
to go through exactly right, well, I hope that happens.
Maybe you can ship them off when it's all said
(13:42):
and done, to New York like you did the illegal immigrants,
or California, any sanctuary city or state in the country.
Maybe they can stay there if that's where their views are.
I don't know if you saw the article that came
out this week, did you see one hundred thousand Californians
annually or are headed to your state of Texas. That's
a pretty high number.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I know.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
I'm thinking about maybe putting a tariff on them or
something like that to raise more revenue.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
For the status.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Of teriff if you want to come to the free
state of Texas? Is that what you're saying exactly?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
This is such a big import we need to tariff
all of our imports, but all getting aside. I'm going
to tell you something that's very important. That is, Yeah,
there are a lot of people leaving California because they
cannot stand on the leftist government out there. What some
people don't know and there's actually a large number of
people leaving Texas and moving to California. And before they
(14:35):
go to California, they know the crazy government they have
out there. So here's the point we have a massive
exchange program going on, but we are getting conservatives from California,
and California's getting liberals.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
From Texas well. I think that's a fair exchange. I
keep saying, if you want to go to Texas, if
you want to go to Florida, if you want to
go to Tennessee or the Carolinas. It's fine if you
come from one of these deep blue states, but don't
bring the policies that ruin the state that you're coming
from to your new state. Otherwise you're not wanted exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
And I mean, look at some of the people who
have come here. We've got Elon mush Still Lonsdale, people
like that who are heavily involved in what is now
Republican politics. And so we've got some people who are
making a difference here in a way that's good for
the state, while at the same time we're losing some
leftists who were decided to move out to California.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
That's a fair true and you're going to be a
huge beneficiary this announcement that took place in the Oval
Office yesterday with Tim Cook of Apple. Texas is getting
a huge chunk of the billions of dollars. They're going
to build a massive manufacturing center in Texas.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
That's exactly right. So Apple already has massive operations in
the state. They're about to expand it even more with
the announcement yesterday. And it's just part of the way
that Texas is leading the innovation age because Texas ranks
number one for semiconductor manufacturing, we've been number one for
more than a decade, and number one for semiconductor exports.
We're number one for space, we're number one for artificial
(16:05):
intelligence advancement, and so everything that's going to be hugely
important to the future is taking place right here in
the state of Texas. And now Texas we have created
our own stock exchange, and that created competition now the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq they've set up
operations in Dallas, Texas to compete with the Texas Stock Exchange.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Well, I love my friends in Texas. God bless Texas again.
We're praying for the families is that lost loved ones
during that terrible flood. I mean it was a flash
flood at the worst hour of the day. Maybe it
was one in one hundred year flood. And our prayers
are with the families of the victims and all Texans
that have been impacted by this governor. You always show
(16:46):
a lot of innovation, a lot of courage. You think
out of the box. I know you'll get over this hump.
And thank you for your political courage that you always show.
We appreciate you. You got it.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
God bless you, and God bless your audience.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Breaking you every single day. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Hey, don't forget. Cat's the best of the Sean Hannity
Show every weekend right here on this station. And while
you're running errands and doing chores and just relaxing, Hey,
make sure you are listening to the best of the
Sean Hannity Show every week right here on this station.
(18:00):
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, the.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
New Sean Hannity Show, talking about what's right for America,
whether renewed commitment to keep you up to date on
the breaking news stories.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I have gone over these numbers again and again and again,
and I'm and we just had Governor Rabbit on earlier
in the program today, and I don't think people fully
completely are comprehending why the issue of jerry mandering is
critical in terms of what we have. If you're conservative,
(18:37):
if you're a Republican, we have been victims of for
the longest period of time. And you know this is
why when they keep saying fight fire with fire, let
me let me play a montage of Democrats repeating the
same line, fight fire with fire. Because Texas is going
to do redistricting. It is called jerry mandering. Democrats have
(18:57):
mastered the art of jerry mandering. But this is they're
acting like they're victims in this whole game. And I
again will give you the numbers so you know the
truth because they're lying through their teeth because this is
their practice and has been their practice for a long time. Listen,
my hope is and I hear this from everyone everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The Democrats fight back with everything they have, fight fire
with fire.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Only if they move forward to dismantling the protocols that
are well established. Would the state of California move forward
in kind fighting yes, fire with fire.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give
themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice. We
must do the same. There's a phrase, get to fight
fire with fire.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
And we stopped him from cheating, from lying, and from
stealing the election.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And if they're doing something to add their congressional seats,
we need to look at our ways of doing that
right now. This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather,
which would bring a pencil to the knife fight. This
is a new Democratic party. We're bringing a knife to
a knife fight, and we are going to fight fire
with fire.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Everything's on the table.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I mean, we look, we gotta fight fire with fire.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
They've frankly tossed the rule book out.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
They toss the rule book out. Here one Texas Democrat
comparing the Republican redistricting to the Holocaust, which is now
their basic go to Hitler Holocaust, Holocaust Hitler in terming Camp,
concentration camp. That's their new racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, is lamophobic.
(20:35):
Added to that, so Democrats, James Carvel among them, calling
on Democrats to unilaterally pack the Supreme Court in response
to it. Now, here's the problem. They want to fight
fire with fire. Okay, they can fight fire with fire.
There's only one problem. They don't have any they don't
have any ability to fight fire with fire because they
(20:57):
have jerry mandered themselves. Today, I'll give you examples. I
keep giving these out, but nobody seems to understand it.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
In the state of California, the first person to say
fight fire with fire was was Gavin Newsom. Republicans won
thirty nine percent of the House vote seats in California,
but they only have seventeen percent of House seats in California,
why because of jerry mandering. In the state of Connecticut,
(21:25):
Republicans won a respectable forty percent of the vote for
the House of Representatives. They have zero seats in Connecticut.
Illinois maybe the most jerry mandered map in the nation. Well,
Republicans won very respectable in twenty twenty four forty seven
percent of the statewide House vote. They only have eighteen
(21:46):
percent of House of Representative seats in the state of Illinois.
Maryland one of the bluest states in the country. Again,
thirty five percent. Republicans win the state wide House vote,
but they only have twelve percent of the seats. I
love Massachusetts, I love the governor there saying we're going
to fight fire with fire. We're going to fight back. Meanwhile,
(22:07):
President Trump did win thirty six percent of the vote
last year. In Massachusetts, Republicans have zero House seats. They
haven't had a House seat since the nineteen nineties in
the state of Massachusetts. Why because of Jerrymanderin Nevada, Okay,
Republicans win the state white House vote by ten points,
they only walked away with one single House seat. New Jersey,
(22:29):
you heard Corey Booker. Kamala Harris won only by six points.
In New Jersey, Republicans got forty five percent of the
House vote, they only have three seats twenty seven percent.
New Mexico forty five percent of the vote, and again
a small percentage of the seats there. New York, Okay
Republicans win forty two percent of the state white House vote,
(22:49):
they only have twenty seven percent of the seats. Oregon
forty two percent of the vote, seventeen percent of the seats,
Washington State forty two percent of the nation of the
state white House vote, they only have twenty percent, less
than half of the seats. That's jerry mandering that has
been mastered by one group of people, that's the Democrats.
And now you know, if you listen to the likes
of James Carvell and others, well, now they're talking about
(23:13):
stacking the Supreme Court. They created new blue states to
save democracy. Well, this is their game, this is their rules.
They built it, they created it, and now they're mad
that Republicans are playing the game the way they set
up the rules. Anyway, John and Jim McLachlin are with us.
They know a lot about jerry mandering. And President Trump
(23:34):
announced that he has ordered a rare mid decade census
to exclude illegal immigrants. By the way, another weapon used
by Democrats to cheat as this battle over redistricting between
Republicans and Democrats heat up. By the way, this is
not going to be an issue decided by the Supreme
Court because they've already decided they don't have a say
in this. Anyway, Welcome back, John and Jim McLaughlin. John,
(23:57):
we start with you. Have I summed it up some accurately.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
You summed it up very accurately. And the Democrats are
usually hypocritical on this. I couldn't believe that Governor Hochel
in New York, after what she's done in the last
couple of cycles to Republicans in her state, had the
nerve to write an op ed in the Euston chronicle
attacking Texas Republicans. Where was the media outcry in twenty
(24:22):
twenty one when New York State voters in three proposals
statewide pansd a proposal not to count legals, and redistricting
pansked the proposal for no Excuse absentees to get rid
of that, to make sure that doesn't become law, and
also to eliminate the same day registration. The voters in
New York, where we don't even have voter id VOT
voted against those proposals. And guess what the Democrats did.
(24:45):
They just overruled it and just did it anyway. They've
been counting illegals in all these censes. And when the
Trump administration tried to not do it in twenty nineteen,
well the Democrats fought it. And the other part about
huckle is she had a redistricting plan in New York
where it was so bizarre, were to cut the Republican
delegation down to four and total representation. They were having
(25:10):
seats go from the north shore of Long Island all
the way through the Long Island Sound up through Democrat
areas of the Bronx and Westchester to eliminate the New
York three seat as a Republican chance, where George Standos
got elected. But what they did was after a judge
stepped in and ruled that they could have competitive races,
(25:32):
and Republicans funded that challenge. What they did was they
came back two years later and they changed the rules
again by stacking the court. They forced out a moderate
Democrat that Carlo had appointed as the Chief Justice in
New York. They forced her out put in an unqualified
liberal progressive, and they passed a new plan where they
(25:52):
were able to make Tom Swazi more secure in New
York pray because he won the special election against succeeding Santos.
They also made it tougher for Anthony Dsposito in New
York four to get reelected, and they secured Democrats seats upstate.
And basically they're whittling away at the Republicans by changing
(26:13):
the rules. She gerry managered two years ago and they
won law cases on this, and now she says the
Republicans in Texas can't do it because she does it
in New York. And when you look at the seats,
this is all about the midterms. If we don't win
the midterms, they will contain Donald Trump, they will impeach
him again. And this is all about control and power
(26:33):
and trying to contain Donald Trump because he's been so
successful in the first two hundred days of his second term.
So this is this is a battle for patrolling the midterms,
and we should not take a line down because they
will cheat. They will they will rig the rules, they'll
do anything they can to try to take our House
majority from us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
How is it possible, Jim, that Democrats were able to
sneak in the census illegal immigrants and it wasn't really
a big deal. We did talk about it here, but
nobody else really paid attention to it, which, by the.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Way, Sean is clearly I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I need to say thank you for showing up on time.
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I won't even mention that you were late. But with
all that being said, I'm not a lawyer, Sean, and
I don't pretend to play one on the radio. And
you laid out the Democrat hypocrisies brilliantly at the start
of this. But this is a violation of the fourteenth Amendment.
It guarantees equal protection under the law. One person, one vote.
(27:32):
You're taking away American's right to vote by letting illegals foreigners.
They're letting foreigners vote in American elections. Talk about a
threat to democracy. But to go back to your question,
which is the right question to ask, you know who
is running the redistricting on the Democratic side. It was
(27:53):
this aptly named group, probably not an apply named group,
but the National Redistricting Action Fund. That's the group that
the Democrats were using. It shouldn't have been called the
National Redistricting Action Fund. It should have been called the
National Jerrymandering Action Fund. And you know who ran it,
Eric Holder, Barack Obama's attorney general, his quote unquote political wingman.
(28:19):
And guess who else, Mark Eliath, the same dirty lawyer
that gave us the Russia hoax, the same ones that
were given us law fair against Donald Trump. They're the
same ones that gave us the phony impeachments. That's what
they did. So they went into these states, and there
were states, you know, you mentioned it. How can you
(28:39):
have a place like Massachusetts. We don't have one Republican
in Congress. We haven't had one there since the nineties,
just like you said, And we've had Republican governors in
Massachusetts and the corrupt Democrats there will not allow a
Republican member of Congress. You've got to be kidding me.
(29:01):
And to go to Texas. When you look at Texas
their redistricting plan, what it does is it makes eight
Hispanic districts and two black districts. They've never had black
districts in Texas. So you see the Republican Party down
there is trying to give Hispanic voters and trying to
give black voters more representation, and the Democrats don't like it.
(29:25):
Talk about the ultimate hypocrisy whenever the Democrats start saying
that where the threats to democracy, they are clearly violating
the constitution and they're doing more corrupt things.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back. We'll continue
more with Jim and John McLoughlin on the other side.
Than your calls are coming up. I want everybody to
please go to Legacy bogs dot com slash Hannity fifty
percent off.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Do it.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
You won't regret it, Your family will love you for it.
Check it out today.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Why anyway, we've always known about Hannity. He stands up
for what he believes in and what you believe in.
Follow Annity as he fights the left who are trying
to extinguish conservative voices.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
John Hannity, we continue.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
With Jim and John McLachlin looking at the issues surrounding
jerrymandering and redistricting in the president's proposal that we have
a new census that does not include people in this
country illegally. What do you make of the reaction to this,
and we can play Kathy Hockel and James Carville. Kathy Hokeel,
you know, saying that it's nothing short of a legal insurrection.
(30:58):
We must do the same. The only problem is they
already did the same. The only problem is they set
the example, they set the bar, they set the rules.
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
But Texas and Republican states are doing it the direction
of Donald Trump. I say, is nothing short of a
legal insurrection against our capital. Legal meaning they're using the
legal process, does not mean it's legal, and it must
be stopped. If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules
to give themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
We must do the same.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
There's a phrase, get the fight fire with fire. That
is a true statement of how we're feeling right now.
And as I've said, another overused but applicable phrase, all's
fair in love and war. That's why I'm exploring with
our leaders every option to redraw our state congressional lines
as soon as possible.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
And then you had James Carville. He said they should
Democrats when they get back in power at DC and
Puerto Rico as states unilaterally, they're going to have to
do it, and then talked about expanding the Supreme Court
to thirteen members. And I mean, basically, there's nothing they
won't do to maintain power. This is all about power,
(32:12):
which by the way, is Mark Levin's note book right.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
And by the way, Sean, you've nailed it because she's
a governor who's in trouble. She's right now, she's got
high negative ratings. People don't like the job she's doing,
whether it's crime, taxes, Cassus Bale, sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.
I mean, even in a Democrat New York, she's in trouble.
And whether you've got Elis Staphonic or Mike Lahler or
(32:38):
Bruce Blakeman, they would all give her a close race
right now for governor. But she's changing the rules because
she wants to have a one party state. It's almost
like communist China, where it's basically, you know, you just
want to have the Democrats be the only ones who
could win the election, and.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You really believe either Lawlor or a fan can win.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yes, there's been published polls where she's an incumbent. I
helped Lee's Eldon. Last time we hit a wall. We
ran close. We needed Democrats to basically we needed a
couple more points for the Democrats to switch. She almost
got beat last time, and now she's done an even
worse job, and published polls have her running in the
(33:21):
mid forties. When you're an incumbent running in the mid forties,
that's where Mary o Clomos was when he lost to
New York, you're in trouble because the majority of New
Yorkers don't want to vote for you. They want to
elect somebody else.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
State has lost too many Republicans. It's a very different error.
I think it's an uphill battle. I don't doubt your polling.
I think it would be very close. If you're saying
it's doable, I believe you. I have to leave it here, though.
John McLaughlin Jim maclachlm. I appreciate you both. Thank you
for shedding some light on all of this for everybody.
(33:56):
I hope people understand it. We'll get your phone calls
when we come back. By the way, if you want
want to join us, it's toll free. It's eight hundred
and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be
a part of the program. This is the best of
the best. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
The best of Sean Hennedy is on.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Now, Well, we'll come out to your city one of
pay I get, I'll sing you a confidence zone, will
be Desire Hotel, and if.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You want a little banging a yun ain't come along.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
They understand that we have a Timu Hitler in the
White House right now.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
That thinks that he is going to become the dictator
of the United States. The time is up for playing
in our faces.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
He has to be brought down. And I don't mean physically,
I'm talking about politically.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
We will bring him down. He will be impeached again.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
And it sounds melodramatic to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know freedom is.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Back in style. Welcome to the revolution, be.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Away of coming to your center, going away out against
az and sane you a conscious soil.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
New Sean Hennity Show, more me I'm the Scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Thank you, Scott Shannon, Thanks to all of you for
being with us. Write down our toll free telephone number
if you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred nine to fourt one. Sean, if you
want to join us now. The President, Donald Trump has
said today that he has directed the Department of Commerce
to launch preparations for a new and highly accurate national census.
(01:45):
According to a post that he put on his truth
social account, I'll read it to you. It says, I
have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work
on a new and highly accurate census based on modern
day facts and figures, and and importantly, using the results
and information gained from the presidential election of twenty twenty four.
(02:07):
He said, people who are in the country illegally will
not be counted in the census. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. Now, what is interesting in all
of this. Under the US Constitution, the US Census Bureau
is required to conduct account every ten years of every
resident of the country, regardless of citizenship or legal status. Now,
(02:33):
the census is used to determine how many members of
Congress are elected from each state. And there's one little
problem when you get to all of this. Illegal immigrants
should not be counted and used to create congressional districts.
They're not in the country illegally. Now, all of this
stems from the fact that what the Democrats have mastered,
(02:58):
which is jerrymandering, what they have been experts at, which
is jerry mandering. What they have done in every blue
state has been effective in taking away representation from Republicans
in all of these states. I've been giving you the numbers.
I won't stop giving you the numbers. New York, for example,
(03:20):
in that particular state, and I think New York is
representative of many. If you look at Republicans for House seats,
they won forty two percent of the vote. They only
have statewide twenty seven percent of the seats available. But
it's a nationwide trend. California Republicans for House votes they
win thirty nine percent of the vote, they have only
(03:41):
seventeen percent of the states. In Connecticut, Republicans want a
respectable forty percent of the House vote, they have zero seats.
Illinois the most jerry mannered you know, map or state
in the country. Republicans won a very respectable forty seven
percent of the state wide vote, but they only have
eighteen percent of congressional seats. Maryland they won thirty five percent,
(04:04):
but they only have twelve percent of representation of Republicans.
Massachusetts and this is what's funny about the governor of
Massachusetts say, way, you've got to fight fire with fire, Okay.
In the state of Massachusetts, Trump won thirty six percent
of the vote. They don't have one Republican have not
had a Republican congressional seat going in back to the
(04:24):
nineteen nineties. New Jersey Republicans get forty five percent of
the House vote, they have twenty seven percent. In Nevada,
Republicans won the state white House vote by ten points,
walked away with one single House seat in the whole state.
New Mexico forty five percent state white House votes, zero seats,
(04:45):
Oregon forty two percent state white House vote, seventeen percent
of the seats, Washington State forty two percent state white
House vote, less than fifty less than half of that
twenty percent of the seats. That's it. And now the
Massachusetts governor is actually heal. He's threatening a redistrict or
(05:05):
state even though it now has zero Republican House members.
One Texas Democrat comparing Republican redistricting and jerrymandering to the Holocaust.
And then James Carvell is going full scorch to Earth
and talking about if Democrats get back empowered. They will
unilaterally add Puerto Rico and the DC and declare them
(05:27):
and give them statehood, which would give Democrats in their
minds for additional Senate seats and more congressional representation. Also
talked about expanding the Supreme Court to thirteen members, packing
the court. Now, all of this in response to the
fact that all that the Texas Governor Greg Abbott wants
(05:48):
to do is followed the same rules that have been
applied in blue states to his red state of Texas,
and this is sent to Democratic Party spirally. Anyway, Texas
Governor front of the program, Greg Abbott is back with
those Governor. I love everything you do. It's like when
the borders were wide open and you said, okay, well
(06:08):
you're a sanctuary city or state, we're going to send
all of our illegal immigrants to your state. That was
political jiu jitsu at the highest level.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Well, Sean, I tell you you're doing a great job
of exposing the jerrymandering that's taking place across the entire country.
I got to be honest with you, I think if
Texas were not doing redistricting right now, most of America
would not know about the facts. You just articulated, and
it must be reemphasized. All of the large blue states
in the country have been jerrymander to the maximum amount,
(06:42):
and all Texas is really doing is based upon a
change in the law. We are no longer requiring coalition districts,
and we were able to ensure that voters in the
state of Texas who are voting for Congress get to
vote for their Canada choice. We're creating five new seats
where the voters in those districts they voted for Donald Trump,
(07:04):
but they were also against their will, packed in a
district where they had to exist under a Democrats member
of Congress. We're just redrawing the lines as fully authorized
by law, and Texas is nowhere near gone to the
extreme ways that you see Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, California,
and so many of the Blue states.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
All right, and by the way, I want to emphasize here,
this is perfectly legal. I had on your Attorney General Paxton,
he was on, I had Dan Patrick on again, both
emphasizing that this is perfectly legal. There's nothing Democrats can do. Instead,
they picked up their toys and they went to of
all places I thought somewhat ironically Illinois, where you know
(07:48):
it's the most gerrymandered state in the country.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Which is amazing unto itself. They're flaying. So Texas is
known as a state where you stay and fight, but
were known because of the Battle of the Alamo, where
everybody chose to state and fight even though they faced
a our outcome. And now we have Democrats who turn
and flee whenever they don't get their way. And I
(08:13):
got to tell you this is hurting them back in
their home districts. For one, every one of their voters.
They have to go to work, and if their voters
don't show up to work, they'll get fired. These Democrat
members of the Texas House, they think they don't have
to show up to work. Their voters will remind them.
Their voters will also remind them they don't like Texas
(08:33):
legislators cutting and running. The last thing I'll tell you, Sean,
is this we are still grappling or with the devastation
of the floods that ripped across central Texas and especially
the Kurbille area. I put on this thirty day special
session agenda helping to address the victims of this horrific
flooding and the Democrats turn their back on Texans and
(08:54):
repairing from the floods. The reparation from the floods has
been slowed because Democrats chose to go to Chicago and
New York and other letist areas.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
All right, let's talk about what options you have available
to force them back either into the state so you
can get a quorum and you can have the vote
take place, and and of course the emergency moneies that
are needed for the victims of the flood. By the way, again,
Governor will express to you my sinceres, you know, prayers
(09:26):
and regrets of all that you've gone through there. It's
been very tough for the people of Texas. I know
a lot of people that were very close to the
camp in that that that I think it was what
Camp Mystic and all the people that lost loved ones.
It's heartbreaking what happened.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
There, well, it's horrendous. We are still searching for two
people who remain missing around the Camp Mystic area, including
one of the campers there. And while that search continues,
while we continue the process of rebuilding those communities, we're
trying to implement reforms such as warnings and things that
(10:04):
would actually save lives, and these Democrats have chosen to
play politics over saving lives by running to Illinois. And
you got to understand this, Sean, It's a feudal exercise
the Democrats are going through. They've done this before. Every
time they break warm and run off to some of
the state. They eventually come back, and they will come back,
(10:25):
whether it be tomorrow, the next day, or next week,
whatever the case may be. But what they did in
the meantime, they slowed the recovery process of the people
who desperately needed the most. And the people who can
remember that here in the upcoming elections will be the
voters who knew they had a Democrat who was a chicken,
a coward, and they run off to some other state
as opposed to taking care of business.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Let's talk about you going to the state Supreme Court.
What are you asking them to do? And when do
you expect a decision?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
I fought in the lawsuit in the Texas Supreme Court
two days ago asting the removal of the ring leader
of the Democrat operation. He's the chair of the Democrat
Caucus and there's plenty of evidence to show that he
has abandoned his office. There's a legal term called coo wronto,
and that proceeding is brought before the Texas Supreme Court.
(11:18):
I'm allowed to go directly to the Supreme Court, as
opposed to a trial court to seek the removal. The
same night that I fouled that petition in the Supreme Court,
the Supreme Court issued in order to this legislator his
name is Jean Wu, telling jing Wu he had to
respond by tomorrow to the legal action that I've taken.
My point is this, the Supreme Court of Texas has
(11:39):
taken this very serious, looking very closely at the possibility
of removing from office the ring leader of the Democrat
operation that runs a runaway from Texas abandoned their duty
and is preventing the Texas Legislature from taking action. One
last point about this. The Technics Constitution is clear. It
(12:00):
says that the legislature shall conduct business and take up
bills as they arise, and take action on those bills.
And it doesn't say that you can cut and run
and prevent action. They must take action. So they are
in direct violation of the constitution. They should be removed
from office. And that's what I'm seeking at the Texas
(12:21):
Supreme Court.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Let's just imagine a scenario, and I hope it doesn't
come to fruition where they maybe the court doesn't go
your way. Whenever you get before a court, you never
know how it's going to turn out. And these people
just stay away and stay away, and stay away, and
stay away and stay away. At some point, there's got
(12:43):
to be some mechanism to compel them to do their
job and show up.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Well, let's talk about what is possible, and that is
as we're talking on the phone right now, there are
Texas law enforcements who are scouring the staves. We have
a drag net going on around the state looking for
some of the Democrat House members who are still here
in the Seate of Texas, and we will seek to
(13:11):
arrest them and bring them to the Texas Capitol, and
we may have enough vote or a quorum sometime soon
without even having to worry about these people who run
away from doing their job.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
In other words, as a matter of law, you have
the ability to pick up elected officials and bring them
to the state capitol, and their very presence is enough
to create the quorum that would allow for the vote
to go through exactly right, well, I hope that happens.
Maybe you can ship them off when it's all said
(13:42):
and done, to New York like you did the illegal immigrants,
or California, any sanctuary city or state in the country.
Maybe they can stay there if that's where their views are.
I don't know if you saw the article that came
out this week, did you see one hundred thousand Californians
annually or are headed to your state of Texas. That's
a pretty high number.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I know.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
I'm thinking about maybe putting a tariff on them or
something like that to raise more revenue.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
For the status.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Of teriff if you want to come to the free
state of Texas? Is that what you're saying exactly?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
This is such a big import we need to tariff
all of our imports, but all getting aside. I'm going
to tell you something that's very important. That is, Yeah,
there are a lot of people leaving California because they
cannot stand on the leftist government out there. What some
people don't know and there's actually a large number of
people leaving Texas and moving to California. And before they
(14:35):
go to California, they know the crazy government they have
out there. So here's the point we have a massive
exchange program going on, but we are getting conservatives from California,
and California's getting liberals.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
From Texas well. I think that's a fair exchange. I
keep saying, if you want to go to Texas, if
you want to go to Florida, if you want to
go to Tennessee or the Carolinas. It's fine if you
come from one of these deep blue states, but don't
bring the policies that ruin the state that you're coming
from to your new state. Otherwise you're not wanted exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
And I mean, look at some of the people who
have come here. We've got Elon mush Still Lonsdale, people
like that who are heavily involved in what is now
Republican politics. And so we've got some people who are
making a difference here in a way that's good for
the state, while at the same time we're losing some
leftists who were decided to move out to California.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
That's a fair true and you're going to be a
huge beneficiary this announcement that took place in the Oval
Office yesterday with Tim Cook of Apple. Texas is getting
a huge chunk of the billions of dollars. They're going
to build a massive manufacturing center in Texas.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
That's exactly right. So Apple already has massive operations in
the state. They're about to expand it even more with
the announcement yesterday. And it's just part of the way
that Texas is leading the innovation age because Texas ranks
number one for semiconductor manufacturing, we've been number one for
more than a decade, and number one for semiconductor exports.
We're number one for space, we're number one for artificial
(16:05):
intelligence advancement, and so everything that's going to be hugely
important to the future is taking place right here in
the state of Texas. And now Texas we have created
our own stock exchange, and that created competition now the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq they've set up
operations in Dallas, Texas to compete with the Texas Stock Exchange.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Well, I love my friends in Texas. God bless Texas again.
We're praying for the families is that lost loved ones
during that terrible flood. I mean it was a flash
flood at the worst hour of the day. Maybe it
was one in one hundred year flood. And our prayers
are with the families of the victims and all Texans
that have been impacted by this governor. You always show
(16:46):
a lot of innovation, a lot of courage. You think
out of the box. I know you'll get over this hump.
And thank you for your political courage that you always show.
We appreciate you. You got it.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
God bless you, and God bless your audience.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Breaking you every single day. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Hey, don't forget. Cat's the best of the Sean Hannity
Show every weekend right here on this station. And while
you're running errands and doing chores and just relaxing, Hey,
make sure you are listening to the best of the
Sean Hannity Show every week right here on this station.
(18:00):
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, the.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
New Sean Hannity Show, talking about what's right for America,
whether renewed commitment to keep you up to date on
the breaking news stories.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I have gone over these numbers again and again and again,
and I'm and we just had Governor Rabbit on earlier
in the program today, and I don't think people fully
completely are comprehending why the issue of jerry mandering is
critical in terms of what we have. If you're conservative,
(18:37):
if you're a Republican, we have been victims of for
the longest period of time. And you know this is
why when they keep saying fight fire with fire, let
me let me play a montage of Democrats repeating the
same line, fight fire with fire. Because Texas is going
to do redistricting. It is called jerry mandering. Democrats have
(18:57):
mastered the art of jerry mandering. But this is they're
acting like they're victims in this whole game. And I
again will give you the numbers so you know the
truth because they're lying through their teeth because this is
their practice and has been their practice for a long time. Listen,
my hope is and I hear this from everyone everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The Democrats fight back with everything they have, fight fire
with fire.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Only if they move forward to dismantling the protocols that
are well established. Would the state of California move forward
in kind fighting yes, fire with fire.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give
themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice. We
must do the same. There's a phrase, get to fight
fire with fire.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
And we stopped him from cheating, from lying, and from
stealing the election.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And if they're doing something to add their congressional seats,
we need to look at our ways of doing that
right now. This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather,
which would bring a pencil to the knife fight. This
is a new Democratic party. We're bringing a knife to
a knife fight, and we are going to fight fire
with fire.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Everything's on the table.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I mean, we look, we gotta fight fire with fire.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
They've frankly tossed the rule book out.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
They toss the rule book out. Here one Texas Democrat
comparing the Republican redistricting to the Holocaust, which is now
their basic go to Hitler Holocaust, Holocaust Hitler in terming Camp,
concentration camp. That's their new racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, is lamophobic.
(20:35):
Added to that, so Democrats, James Carvel among them, calling
on Democrats to unilaterally pack the Supreme Court in response
to it. Now, here's the problem. They want to fight
fire with fire. Okay, they can fight fire with fire.
There's only one problem. They don't have any they don't
have any ability to fight fire with fire because they
(20:57):
have jerry mandered themselves. Today, I'll give you examples. I
keep giving these out, but nobody seems to understand it.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
In the state of California, the first person to say
fight fire with fire was was Gavin Newsom. Republicans won
thirty nine percent of the House vote seats in California,
but they only have seventeen percent of House seats in California,
why because of jerry mandering. In the state of Connecticut,
(21:25):
Republicans won a respectable forty percent of the vote for
the House of Representatives. They have zero seats in Connecticut.
Illinois maybe the most jerry mandered map in the nation. Well,
Republicans won very respectable in twenty twenty four forty seven
percent of the statewide House vote. They only have eighteen
(21:46):
percent of House of Representative seats in the state of Illinois.
Maryland one of the bluest states in the country. Again,
thirty five percent. Republicans win the state wide House vote,
but they only have twelve percent of the seats. I
love Massachusetts, I love the governor there saying we're going
to fight fire with fire. We're going to fight back. Meanwhile,
(22:07):
President Trump did win thirty six percent of the vote
last year. In Massachusetts, Republicans have zero House seats. They
haven't had a House seat since the nineteen nineties in
the state of Massachusetts. Why because of Jerrymanderin Nevada, Okay,
Republicans win the state white House vote by ten points,
they only walked away with one single House seat. New Jersey,
(22:29):
you heard Corey Booker. Kamala Harris won only by six points.
In New Jersey, Republicans got forty five percent of the
House vote, they only have three seats twenty seven percent.
New Mexico forty five percent of the vote, and again
a small percentage of the seats there. New York, Okay
Republicans win forty two percent of the state white House vote,
(22:49):
they only have twenty seven percent of the seats. Oregon
forty two percent of the vote, seventeen percent of the seats,
Washington State forty two percent of the nation of the
state white House vote, they only have twenty percent, less
than half of the seats. That's jerry mandering that has
been mastered by one group of people, that's the Democrats.
And now you know, if you listen to the likes
of James Carvell and others, well, now they're talking about
(23:13):
stacking the Supreme Court. They created new blue states to
save democracy. Well, this is their game, this is their rules.
They built it, they created it, and now they're mad
that Republicans are playing the game the way they set
up the rules. Anyway, John and Jim McLachlin are with us.
They know a lot about jerry mandering. And President Trump
(23:34):
announced that he has ordered a rare mid decade census
to exclude illegal immigrants. By the way, another weapon used
by Democrats to cheat as this battle over redistricting between
Republicans and Democrats heat up. By the way, this is
not going to be an issue decided by the Supreme
Court because they've already decided they don't have a say
in this. Anyway, Welcome back, John and Jim McLaughlin. John,
(23:57):
we start with you. Have I summed it up some accurately.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
You summed it up very accurately. And the Democrats are
usually hypocritical on this. I couldn't believe that Governor Hochel
in New York, after what she's done in the last
couple of cycles to Republicans in her state, had the
nerve to write an op ed in the Euston chronicle
attacking Texas Republicans. Where was the media outcry in twenty
(24:22):
twenty one when New York State voters in three proposals
statewide pansd a proposal not to count legals, and redistricting
pansked the proposal for no Excuse absentees to get rid
of that, to make sure that doesn't become law, and
also to eliminate the same day registration. The voters in
New York, where we don't even have voter id VOT
voted against those proposals. And guess what the Democrats did.
(24:45):
They just overruled it and just did it anyway. They've
been counting illegals in all these censes. And when the
Trump administration tried to not do it in twenty nineteen,
well the Democrats fought it. And the other part about
huckle is she had a redistricting plan in New York
where it was so bizarre, were to cut the Republican
delegation down to four and total representation. They were having
(25:10):
seats go from the north shore of Long Island all
the way through the Long Island Sound up through Democrat
areas of the Bronx and Westchester to eliminate the New
York three seat as a Republican chance, where George Standos
got elected. But what they did was after a judge
stepped in and ruled that they could have competitive races,
(25:32):
and Republicans funded that challenge. What they did was they
came back two years later and they changed the rules
again by stacking the court. They forced out a moderate
Democrat that Carlo had appointed as the Chief Justice in
New York. They forced her out put in an unqualified
liberal progressive, and they passed a new plan where they
(25:52):
were able to make Tom Swazi more secure in New
York pray because he won the special election against succeeding Santos.
They also made it tougher for Anthony Dsposito in New
York four to get reelected, and they secured Democrats seats upstate.
And basically they're whittling away at the Republicans by changing
(26:13):
the rules. She gerry managered two years ago and they
won law cases on this, and now she says the
Republicans in Texas can't do it because she does it
in New York. And when you look at the seats,
this is all about the midterms. If we don't win
the midterms, they will contain Donald Trump, they will impeach
him again. And this is all about control and power
(26:33):
and trying to contain Donald Trump because he's been so
successful in the first two hundred days of his second term.
So this is this is a battle for patrolling the midterms,
and we should not take a line down because they
will cheat. They will they will rig the rules, they'll
do anything they can to try to take our House
majority from us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
How is it possible, Jim, that Democrats were able to
sneak in the census illegal immigrants and it wasn't really
a big deal. We did talk about it here, but
nobody else really paid attention to it, which, by the.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Way, Sean is clearly I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I need to say thank you for showing up on time.
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I won't even mention that you were late. But with
all that being said, I'm not a lawyer, Sean, and
I don't pretend to play one on the radio. And
you laid out the Democrat hypocrisies brilliantly at the start
of this. But this is a violation of the fourteenth Amendment.
It guarantees equal protection under the law. One person, one vote.
(27:32):
You're taking away American's right to vote by letting illegals foreigners.
They're letting foreigners vote in American elections. Talk about a
threat to democracy. But to go back to your question,
which is the right question to ask, you know who
is running the redistricting on the Democratic side. It was
(27:53):
this aptly named group, probably not an apply named group,
but the National Redistricting Action Fund. That's the group that
the Democrats were using. It shouldn't have been called the
National Redistricting Action Fund. It should have been called the
National Jerrymandering Action Fund. And you know who ran it,
Eric Holder, Barack Obama's attorney general, his quote unquote political wingman.
(28:19):
And guess who else, Mark Eliath, the same dirty lawyer
that gave us the Russia hoax, the same ones that
were given us law fair against Donald Trump. They're the
same ones that gave us the phony impeachments. That's what
they did. So they went into these states, and there
were states, you know, you mentioned it. How can you
(28:39):
have a place like Massachusetts. We don't have one Republican
in Congress. We haven't had one there since the nineties,
just like you said, And we've had Republican governors in
Massachusetts and the corrupt Democrats there will not allow a
Republican member of Congress. You've got to be kidding me.
(29:01):
And to go to Texas. When you look at Texas
their redistricting plan, what it does is it makes eight
Hispanic districts and two black districts. They've never had black
districts in Texas. So you see the Republican Party down
there is trying to give Hispanic voters and trying to
give black voters more representation, and the Democrats don't like it.
(29:25):
Talk about the ultimate hypocrisy whenever the Democrats start saying
that where the threats to democracy, they are clearly violating
the constitution and they're doing more corrupt things.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back. We'll continue
more with Jim and John McLoughlin on the other side.
Than your calls are coming up. I want everybody to
please go to Legacy bogs dot com slash Hannity fifty
percent off.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Do it.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
You won't regret it, Your family will love you for it.
Check it out today.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
Why anyway, we've always known about Hannity. He stands up
for what he believes in and what you believe in.
Follow Annity as he fights the left who are trying
to extinguish conservative voices.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
John Hannity, we continue.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
With Jim and John McLachlin looking at the issues surrounding
jerrymandering and redistricting in the president's proposal that we have
a new census that does not include people in this
country illegally. What do you make of the reaction to this,
and we can play Kathy Hockel and James Carville. Kathy Hokeel,
you know, saying that it's nothing short of a legal insurrection.
(30:58):
We must do the same. The only problem is they
already did the same. The only problem is they set
the example, they set the bar, they set the rules.
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
But Texas and Republican states are doing it the direction
of Donald Trump. I say, is nothing short of a
legal insurrection against our capital. Legal meaning they're using the
legal process, does not mean it's legal, and it must
be stopped. If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules
to give themselves an advantage, then they're leaving us no choice.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
We must do the same.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
There's a phrase, get the fight fire with fire. That
is a true statement of how we're feeling right now.
And as I've said, another overused but applicable phrase, all's
fair in love and war. That's why I'm exploring with
our leaders every option to redraw our state congressional lines
as soon as possible.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
And then you had James Carville. He said they should
Democrats when they get back in power at DC and
Puerto Rico as states unilaterally, they're going to have to
do it, and then talked about expanding the Supreme Court
to thirteen members. And I mean, basically, there's nothing they
won't do to maintain power. This is all about power,
(32:12):
which by the way, is Mark Levin's note book right.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
And by the way, Sean, you've nailed it because she's
a governor who's in trouble. She's right now, she's got
high negative ratings. People don't like the job she's doing,
whether it's crime, taxes, Cassus Bale, sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.
I mean, even in a Democrat New York, she's in trouble.
And whether you've got Elis Staphonic or Mike Lahler or
(32:38):
Bruce Blakeman, they would all give her a close race
right now for governor. But she's changing the rules because
she wants to have a one party state. It's almost
like communist China, where it's basically, you know, you just
want to have the Democrats be the only ones who
could win the election, and.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You really believe either Lawlor or a fan can win.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yes, there's been published polls where she's an incumbent. I
helped Lee's Eldon. Last time we hit a wall. We
ran close. We needed Democrats to basically we needed a
couple more points for the Democrats to switch. She almost
got beat last time, and now she's done an even
worse job, and published polls have her running in the
(33:21):
mid forties. When you're an incumbent running in the mid forties,
that's where Mary o Clomos was when he lost to
New York, you're in trouble because the majority of New
Yorkers don't want to vote for you. They want to
elect somebody else.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
State has lost too many Republicans. It's a very different error.
I think it's an uphill battle. I don't doubt your polling.
I think it would be very close. If you're saying
it's doable, I believe you. I have to leave it here, though.
John McLaughlin Jim maclachlm. I appreciate you both. Thank you
for shedding some light on all of this for everybody.
