Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program at say eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn,
if you'd like to join us. We've got a lot
going on today, a lot of dirty tricks that we
are watching. I think this may be one of the
most dangerous things that Biden and Harris have ever done.
(00:24):
And it involves the war in Europe, It involves Ukraine,
it involves Russia. It involves a decision that they have
made last minute in terms of giving the green light
and the weaponry to Ukraine who strike Russian territory with
US provided missiles, and which could result in because we
(00:49):
know that Vladimir Putin has already responded to this and
he's now threatening to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine fires
American missiles into Russia. They have already fired some, and
so far Russia is claiming that it shot down these
missiles and has issued, you know, a nuclear threat. The
(01:10):
Russian Defense Ministry is now saying that they defeated the
first missile attack shortly before the Kremlin that then updated
their nuclear weapons doctrine to allow for nuclear strikes in
response to foreign ballistic missile attacks. This is what Joe
Biden is doing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
This is the same Joe Biden. If you recall at
the beginning of this conflict, he was the one that
said all the troops were they were mobilizing on the
border with Ukraine, and stupidly they were suggesting, well, we
don't really believe he's going to go into Ukraine. And
I'm sitting there saying, well, why would he be moving,
you know, entire battalions and all this weaponry on the
(01:52):
border of Ukraine if he wasn't planning on invading Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You have to be pretty stupid to think that way.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And Biden said, well, he was asked about and he said,
you know, well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well, it depends is it going to be a minor incursion.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Russia might be held accountable if it invades, and it
depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's
a minor incursion, and then we end up having to
fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Okay, that minor incursion has destroyed half of Ukraine. I
don't even know how they begin to rebuild. But this
is now threatening the entire continent of Europe into a
broader conflict based on what Joe has done here. So
in the beginning, just to give you a quick history,
the Biden Harris administration, they have been telling Zelenski and
(02:44):
the Ukrainians how to fight their war from the get go. Remember,
Poland was going to give Ukraine twenty eight MiGs so
that they could battle back in terms of the air
power that Russia was using early on in the conflict.
And it was Biden and Harris that vetoed Poland from
(03:04):
giving the twenty eight megs. They have spent over two
hundred billion taxpayer dollars. Ukraine happens to be one of
the most mineral rich countries on Earth. They should have
been paying us for the weaponry we are providing. This Unfortunately,
because it's been so poorly managed, has become a proxy
conflict between the US and Russia, not really between Ukraine
(03:29):
and Russia. And meanwhile, on the other side of the
world in the Middle East, you have a total betrayal
of our closest ally Israel, as even Benjamin Not and
Yahoo confirming that Wincoln, Tony Blincoln Kamala Harris and Joe Biden,
giving into the pro Haamaus wing of their party, have
(03:49):
been withholding support and weaponry.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We saw that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
After the April attack direct attack by Iran. They usually
use their proxy Hamas has belas lamighe the hoodie rebels,
but they would They only helped Israel defending itself, holding
the stand down, not retaliate against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is
supplying all the weaponry for all of these various groups.
(04:15):
They helped orchestrate the October seventh, twenty three attack that
murdered Israeli's the equivalent of forty thousand Americans in a day,
and kidnapped even Americans, and they kidnapped hundreds of people.
And then of course the rapes that are on video.
I've seen them, the beheadings on video, I've seen them.
(04:36):
You know, the torture on video, I've seen it, and
I wish the Israeli Defense Forces would release all of
it and allow the likes of me to air it
on television. I tried hard to get permission to do it,
but out of respect for the families, they don't want
to do that. But they did want people in the
media to know exactly what went on, and it was
(04:59):
right of them to do so. So here we are
after and remember also it was Biden and Harris that said, well,
you can't use cluster bombs, you can't use this bomb,
you can't use this weapon. I mean, they've been putting
handcuffs on the Ukrainians and their ability to fight back.
And the thing that has been most effective for the
(05:19):
Ukraine in this conflict, in this war has been the
use of drones and using those drones inside of Russian territory.
I think that that is the single best thing that
they have done that has gotten Vladimir Putin's attention, and
you know, to the credit of the Ukrainians. I mean,
Putin is an evil sob if he had, if he
(05:43):
had territorial claims as he says he does, and he
wanted to discuss it, you know, certainly there were other
means of dealing with this. But again we're at a
point where Vladimir Putin doesn't give a flying rip what
Jo Biden thinks. He doesn't care what Kamala hars thinks.
He didn't care about what Barack Obama thought. Notice the
(06:04):
only four years there was no conflict or no issues
is when Donald Trump was president. So here, usually a
sitting president would never do what Joe Biden did here,
and they now at this last minute with you know
what's today's date? Today is the nineteenth of November. We're
(06:25):
now two months away from a new president, an inauguration,
and they decide to purposellly escalate this conflict. And they
are allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with these ballistic
missiles provided by the US, and it's unlikely to change
the course of the war in any substantial way. However,
(06:50):
then the Russians have responded by changing and updating their
nuclear weapons doctrine to allow for nuclear strikes in response
to farm below missiles and attacks. Well, great job, Joe.
I mean, this is a disaster. It is an unmitigated disaster.
But there's your modern Democratic party. And then I saw
(07:12):
in the Washington Times today the Biden Justice Department has
quietly dismissed charges against two Jordanian immigrants who were arrested
after driving their truck into a vehicle barrier on a
marine base earlier this year, leaving a host of questions
about the incident.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Why would you ever do that?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Documents detailing the arrest obtained and released by Judicial Watch
indicated that these guys snuck across the US Mexico border
What a shock in April, were processed released by Homeland
Security and they didn't detail any immigration history beyond that.
But they claimed to be making a delivery run and
(07:51):
were asked to wait while their identities were be in check,
but the driver continued to move the box truck forward
and anyway. They raised the vehicle barriers and arrested these guys.
Immigration authorities initially told base officials that he was on
a terror watch list. I mean, they're covering up. So
it seems to me they're covering up something here. I
(08:12):
don't know what, I really don't but again, reckless behavior.
What have I been saying. I've been telling everybody that
it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of
when we're going to wake up one day and we're
going to be a victim of a massive terror attack.
Because of Harris Biden unvetted illegal immigrants, including known terrorists,
(08:34):
that they have allowed into this country. On top of
the murderers, the rapists, the violent criminals, the gangs, the cartels,
they've allowed all of the men, and we have an update.
Donald Trump is committed as ever to deporting those criminals
and others that didn't respect our laws, our border, and
our sovereignty. We have an update on law fair. I'm
(08:58):
not sure yet can completely how to analyze this, but
Judge Juan Mershawn, this is the ridiculous case whose statute
of limitations had long since passed. The thirty four counts
against that they piled on Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's court.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's called you know, basically stacking charges. You stack the
charges against somebody and you take one charge and you
make it thirty four charges. But anyway, this will never hold.
But the judges considering how to proceed with sentencing given
that Donald Trump is now the president elect, and the
sentencing that was scheduled for November the twenty sixth has
(09:34):
been adjourned no explanation, and the judge is still considering
how to proceed with sentencing given that Trump is now
the president elect and preparing to take office in January.
The problem in all of this is you've got a
politicized district attorney by the name of Valvin Bragg that
is in a heavily heavily blue district as blue as
(09:59):
it gets well, like eighty percent of people in New
York City are registered Democrats, and he's up for re
election and it's good for his political prospects to be
as anti Trump as possible. But anyway, it's the Manhattan
prosecutors under Bragg are said to tell Mersham whether they
believe the case should be moved to the sentencing phase
(10:20):
considering Trump's new status. I mean, we really don't know
what's going to happen here. It may be better because
in the sense I mean, there's even talk of leaving
this open for four years while Donald Trump is the
president and picking it up when he leaves the Oval office.
This is madness. There should be some level of prosecutorial
(10:41):
discretion here. And if you think Democrats can't get any
sneakier or more hypocritical, I mean, we had a September
Supreme Court ruling in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as it
relates to what represents a valid ballot, properly dated et cetera,
signed by the voter would only be included. The Supreme
(11:05):
Court was very very clear in their decision. And anyway,
so that was September. I don't know why, but there
were certain counties in Pennsylvania that decided they didn't care
what the Supreme Court said, and so they decided to
count ballots that the Supreme Court had just ruled were
not legal. And anyway, the Republicans went back to the
(11:27):
Pennsylvania Supreme Court and they have upheld their own decision
from December or September, which shouldn't surprise anybody. It was
a seven to zero decision, and even the Democratic Governor Shapiro,
who should have been more outspoken before this, in my view,
had sided with the state Supreme Court. One Trump campaign
(11:48):
official says, Pennsylvania Democrats will face jail time over this
ballot recount and not following the law, especially a recent
Supreme Court decision in that state.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Even one editorial came out said, Pennsylvania Democrats show their
true disdain for democracy in what they're doing here. You
want to talk about election denialism, You notice Democrats don't
seem to care when Democrats do it. And what they
were doing in Pennsylvania clearly was a violation of law.
Thank goodness, Republicans, they got a little more savvy this time,
(12:22):
and they've been a lot smarter.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
One issue we're going to go over in great specificity,
in detail is the issue of Donald Trump's appointments and
the possibility that in some cases, if he doesn't think
he can get things done fast enough with the advising
consent of the US Senate, he would use what's called
a recess appointment. Ideally, you'd never want to do that,
(12:48):
but it's hardly unprecedented. Obama made over thirty of them.
Bush forty three made over one hundred and seventy of them.
Bush forty one used a recess appointment for a Secretary State.
I mean, if you want to go over all of
the different cases, you can take it all the way
back recess appointments to George Washington. I'll give you the
history that in the course of the program today. Anyway,
(13:11):
eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is on number
if you want to be a part of the program. Also,
the vig Ramaswami will join us. I love what he
and Elon Musk are doing by the way they're staying
outside of the government, and like the Grace Commission that
Ronald Reagan formed in the nineteen eighties, the best business,
Brightest Business, minds in the country. They're going to come
(13:32):
up with ways to run government more like a business.
In other words, for anybody that has ever wanted limited
government and more freedom, this is probably the only opportunity
that we will have in our lifetime to get rid
of waste and fraud and abuse. And they're talking about
cutting two trillion dollars and I think they're serious as hell,
(13:55):
and I think it will happen as long as Republican
lawmakers go along with what their recommendations are. Those recommendations
are expected on July fourth, or twenty twenty six. I
don't think I did the story about Alvin Bragg and
Judge Mershaw onn Justice. Let me explain what this is here.
The Alvin Bragg's office announced that they would not oppose
(14:16):
putting a pause on the criminal proceedings, meaning the sentencing
of President elect Trump included until after he leaves the
White House in twenty twenty nine, which would keep this stupid,
ridiculous case alive, which by the way, goes against the
Supreme Court ruling on immunity because they had testimony. Whope
Picks comes to mind of the time when he was
(14:40):
president and acts as president in the trial, which means
it should be overturned. Anyway, there's a whole host of
unconstitutionality here. The statute of limitations had run out. It
was a novel legal theory that had never been tried before.
But you know this is madness. But anyway, the DA's
office did proposed December of the ninth as the deadline
(15:02):
for their upcoming filing, which will quote consider the possibility
of dismissing the case. Judge Mershawn was slated to decide
today whether a Supreme Court ruling grand strump community from prosecution.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And it does.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And they had testimony from the time that he was
president that was brought before that jury. This case is done,
it is cooked, it is over, it is finished. The
only reason Alvin Bragg would want to keep it alive
is because politically he's in an elected position. Is that
liberal New York City would like that he's persecuting Trump.
(15:48):
When news breaks, you get the inside story that no
one else has and the behind the scenes chatter that
the mainstream media doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Even know about this. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hy twenty five to the top of the hour. We
have a lot of news to get to today. We'll
get to your calls today. Viveke Ramaswami's going to join
us today. We'll talk about the Department of Government efficiency.
They want to cut two trillion dollars, waste, fraud, abuse, bureaucracy.
If you've ever wanted an opportunity for America to have
(16:25):
limited government, more freedom, this is it. This will probably
be the only shot we get. And what Viveke and
Elon Musk are able to pull off here is going
to be critical. Now if you look at the issue
of the controversial appointments, and it seems that the state
(16:46):
run media mob.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
First of all, what's.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Amazing to me is when Matt Gates was, for example, announced,
and it's like the media went right back into campaign mode.
The legacy media, eight run media, Bob, they went crazy,
and I watched with amazement. Is we were kind of
right back to where they left off in spite of
(17:09):
the biggest beatdown ever. And I've been arguing that legacy media.
We learned in this election. Celebrity endorsements they don't mean
a damn thing anymore. Nobody trusts them. Nobody looks to
Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, you know, John bond Jovi or
Howard Stern or call me Daddy podcasters for their political
(17:30):
opinions doesn't mean that they don't have good music or
qualities at all. I'm not even being critical. We live
in a free country. They're allowed to express their point
of view. But in terms of their ability to influence voting,
they were not successful. You know, we've had nine straight
years of unending, not incessant, insane Trump bashing. It's been
(17:57):
every second, every minute, every hour of every twenty four
hour day, every seven day week, every month, every year
for nine years, and they just haven't stopped.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And with all of all of the horrible.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Things that they have said and done to Donald Trump,
nothing stuck. The American people didn't care. They they knew
about what the criticisms, and they now ignore legacy media.
Well how do I define legacy media. Well, that would
(18:30):
be every major newspaper that hated Donald Trump, which is
most of them in starting with the New York Times
and the Washington Post and USA Today and the LA Times.
And then we talk about not one, not two, but
three broadcast channels that have these crappy news half hours
that fewer and fewer people are watching every day, you know,
(18:51):
coupled with Sunday shows that nobody pays attention to anymore,
they have no impact. I keep telling Republicans when they
go on these Sunday shows, I said, why are you
even bothering? You know, the day the day of David Brinkley, though,
Bob Sheefer, Tim Russer, who I think was the best
of all of them by far, are long gone.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Peter Jennings, you know, God rest his soul is you know,
he was a nice guy. You know, Peter Jennings sought
out my viewpoints. So did Tim Russer. Tom Broke all
was ever, always very nice to me, interviewed him many times.
No problem with them, you know. Tim Russer would say,
well tell me why, Explain to me why you conservatives
(19:36):
think this, and he'd want he'd seek out my reasoning,
my thought process, my rationale. And at this point, I mean,
the times that I've watched these Sunday programs, they're so meaningless.
It's all a game of gotcha. I mean, the only
question they seem to just always want to go back
to his January sixth. I'm like, stop, I can't take
(19:58):
it anymore. And none of these people ever brought up
Kamala Harris. They're not going to stop writing. They shouldn't
stop writing. We're not going to stop supporting the five
hundred and seventy four riots around the country. Oh, you know,
Liz Cheney, I think would identify that as insurrection. She
was never asked about the bail fund that she tweeted
(20:19):
out four days after the Minneapolis Police precinct was burned
to the ground, the Minnesota Police, the Minnesota Bellfund that
she tweeted out. And you're going to see the same
hysteria in terms of you know, they're going to treat
Matt Gates, Pete Haig, Seth, Robert Kennedy, Junior, Pulsey Gabbard.
(20:42):
They seem to be the top picks to go after.
It's going to be just like Clarence Thomas and Cavanaugh
and anybody else thinking smear, slander, brismirch and attack for
whatever reason. But I tell you what's happening because I
thought the first day and this is an total But
I think it tells us a lot. Since the election,
(21:04):
people are not watching fake New CNN. They're not Their
ratings are in the tank. The same with MSDNC and
they're gonna try and rebuild themselves as the Trump Resistance
yet again and emerge from the ashes like the phoenix.
I just don't think it's it's it's going to be meaningful.
I mean, they'll get the loonies, They'll get the people
(21:24):
that are shaving their heads and swearing off sex and
that are you know, stockpiling abortion pills and you know,
threatening to divorce husbands over the election. I mean, I
guess that crowd will watch and hang on every word,
But it just seems in the minds of every other
(21:48):
American if if if starting out with Trump is evil,
threat to democracy January sixth, He's horrible, He's a Nazi.
Ending with the closing argument, he's a Nazi fascist, threat
to democracy. He's a racist, and all of his supporters
are garbage. If that didn't work, why do they think
(22:08):
this same strategy which they are now employing against Trump
appointments is going to work? Also because it didn't work
the first time, you know. Lindsey Graham's a great case
in point. He has voted for people in cabinet positions
that he doesn't like, that he doesn't agree with with
the understanding and belief that presidents get a mandate from
(22:32):
the American people and ought to have the people that
they believe are the best person for the job, whether
you agree or whether you disagree. I mean Eric Holder,
you know, the wingman of Barack Obama. Great case in
point for Attorney general. You know, when they're down, we
kick them. If you don't see Merrick Garland and his
(22:53):
weaponized Department of Justice, if you can't see it, don't
you're just blind. I mean, I don't feel going over
the list of examples if you don't see that the
FBI has been politicized starting with James Comy. It should
have been cleaned up by Christopher Ray. He had every
opportunity to clean it up. Sadly he didn't. I've called
for him to clean it up many many times. He
(23:15):
had an opportunity to restore what was the world's premier
law enforcement agency to its former greatness. That'll have to
happen under President Trump. And the same goes with the
intelligence agencies. I think they deteriorated from their former greatness
under the likes of Brennan and Clapper. That's my opinion.
(23:35):
You know, the idea that fifty one former Intel officials
can just flat out make up a story about a
very real laptop and tell the American people because wink
and Tony Blinken organize them to say that it has
all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. It's unbelievable. Or the
whole FISA scam that took place, you know, using Hillary
(23:56):
Clinton's bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier as the
foulundation for four PAISA warrants to spy on then candidate Trump,
his transition team and later his presidency. I mean, poor
part of a carter page. If you might remember him,
he's been on the show many times. So the next
thing that you're going to hear is Donald Trump is
about to abuse power. He's going to have recess appointments,
(24:20):
and it's outrageous, and he is bypassing the US Constitution.
This is what you're going to hear, and that is
the advising consent role of the US Senate. Now, just
as a matter of to give you a baseline of this,
because if you believe the fraudulent media donald Trump's plan
(24:41):
that I would prefer, by the way, let me be straightforward,
I would prefer that the Republicans that control the US
Senate give him the choice that he wants. There might
be a couple that, for whatever reason legitimate or not,
I don't know, are going to vote against some of
Trump's appointees. But anyway, this is an option because it
(25:05):
is you know, it would not be unprecedented the way
the mob and the state run legacy media is portraying it.
Barack Obama used recess appointments thirty two times. The last
Republican president that won the popular vote, George W. Bush,
actually made one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. In fact,
(25:27):
we've had no less than ten Supreme Court justices installed
on the court through recess appointments by the president. President
Eisenhower did that three times. If Donald Trump tries to
do this with even one Supreme Court justice, the media
would go insane. But if I'm reading from Reuters now,
past presidents have taken advantage of the recess appointment clause.
(25:51):
Democrat Barack Obama had made thirty two recess appointments, while
Bush made one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. According
to the Congressional Research Service, if you look at Wikipedia,
president since George Washington have made recess appointments. Washington appointed
South Carolina judge John Rutledge as the Chief Justice of
(26:14):
the United States during a congressional recess in seventeen ninety five.
Almost every president has used recess appointments to appoint judges,
over three hundred such judicial recess appointments before two thousand,
including ten Supreme Court justices. New Jersey Judge William J.
Brennan was appointed to the Supreme Court by Dwight Eisenhower
(26:36):
nineteen fifty six by a recess appointment. Eisenhower made two
other recess appointments, chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice
Potter Stewart, and according to Congressional Research Service, President Reagan
made two hundred and forty recess appointments, an average of
thirty per year. President George H. W. Bush made seventy
(26:56):
seven recess appointments an average in nineteen a year.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
George H. W.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Bush appointed Lawrence Egleberger as Secretary of State during a
recess in nineteen ninety two, and ego Berger as Deputy
Secretary of State had an effect filled that role after
James Baker resigned. President Bill Clinton made one hundred and
thirty nine recess appointments and averages seventeen per year. So
(27:22):
I say this because we know what's coming anyway, so
just prepare for that. That's stuff we'll deal with after
the new year. But I'm just giving you a preview
of coming attractions. Biden, by the way, gives the World
Bank on his way out, on top of what he's
doing with Ukraine, which is disgusting and despicable. But Biden
is attempting to give the World Bank billions of your
(27:44):
tax dollars before Donald Trump takes office. Apparently, Biden has
pledged four billion dollars to the World Bank's International Development
Association with the world's poorest countries during a closed door
meeting at the G twenty in Rio djon Zo, according
to Reuters. More broadly, the Deputy National Security Advisor told
(28:05):
Reuters and reporters on Monday that Biden will highlight the
funding request. America should not be funding the UN. We
should not be funding, in this particular case, billions of
dollars the way Joe Biden is, especially when we don't
have the money. We shouldn't be funding the World Banks
International Development Association. We shouldn't be supporting other globalist organizations.
(28:31):
Like the w h O or the w EF, the
World Economic Form. We shouldn't be in the Paris Accords,
and I'm sure Donald Trump will get out of that.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We shouldn't be doing any of that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
We shouldn't be giving two hundred billion dollars in weapons
to Ukraine when they are so mineral rich that they
can pay for They can pay for every weapon that
they're providing. And now Joe Biden gives the go ahead,
you know, to use missiles to fire directly into Moscow.
Not a good idea. By the way, things are so
bad with illegal immigrants. Philadelphia public schools are having students
(29:08):
eat lunch at nine am because the cafeteria is so
overcrowded with Biden harrise illegals. Lake and Riley's accused killer
was part of a of Venezuela's most violent gang, according
to testimony given in that case. GOP senators are urging
Trump to trust the corrupt Biden FBI to carry out
(29:30):
honest and fair background checks. I think they've decided now
that they're going to do their own background checks without them.
And Biden has ramped up sanctions against Israel while doling
out millions to pro Hamas Palestinians over two billion dollars
in taxpayer funds there. It's pretty unbelievable. Thank goodness, the
(29:50):
American people have woken up all right. Eight hundred and
nine to four one Shawn is a number if you
want to be a part of the program.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program at say eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn,
if you'd like to join us. We've got a lot
going on today, a lot of dirty tricks that we
are watching. I think this may be one of the
most dangerous things that Biden and Harris have ever done.
(00:24):
And it involves the war in Europe, It involves Ukraine,
it involves Russia. It involves a decision that they have
made last minute in terms of giving the green light
and the weaponry to Ukraine who strike Russian territory with
US provided missiles, and which could result in because we
(00:49):
know that Vladimir Putin has already responded to this and
he's now threatening to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine fires
American missiles into Russia. They have already fired some, and
so far Russia is claiming that it shot down these
missiles and has issued, you know, a nuclear threat. The
(01:10):
Russian Defense Ministry is now saying that they defeated the
first missile attack shortly before the Kremlin that then updated
their nuclear weapons doctrine to allow for nuclear strikes in
response to foreign ballistic missile attacks. This is what Joe
Biden is doing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
This is the same Joe Biden. If you recall at
the beginning of this conflict, he was the one that
said all the troops were they were mobilizing on the
border with Ukraine, and stupidly they were suggesting, well, we
don't really believe he's going to go into Ukraine. And
I'm sitting there saying, well, why would he be moving,
you know, entire battalions and all this weaponry on the
(01:52):
border of Ukraine if he wasn't planning on invading Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You have to be pretty stupid to think that way.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And Biden said, well, he was asked about and he said,
you know, well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well, it depends is it going to be a minor incursion.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Russia might be held accountable if it invades, and it
depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's
a minor incursion, and then we end up having to
fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Okay, that minor incursion has destroyed half of Ukraine. I
don't even know how they begin to rebuild. But this
is now threatening the entire continent of Europe into a
broader conflict based on what Joe has done here. So
in the beginning, just to give you a quick history,
the Biden Harris administration, they have been telling Zelenski and
(02:44):
the Ukrainians how to fight their war from the get go. Remember,
Poland was going to give Ukraine twenty eight MiGs so
that they could battle back in terms of the air
power that Russia was using early on in the conflict.
And it was Biden and Harris that vetoed Poland from
(03:04):
giving the twenty eight megs. They have spent over two
hundred billion taxpayer dollars. Ukraine happens to be one of
the most mineral rich countries on Earth. They should have
been paying us for the weaponry we are providing. This Unfortunately,
because it's been so poorly managed, has become a proxy
conflict between the US and Russia, not really between Ukraine
(03:29):
and Russia. And meanwhile, on the other side of the
world in the Middle East, you have a total betrayal
of our closest ally Israel, as even Benjamin Not and
Yahoo confirming that Wincoln, Tony Blincoln Kamala Harris and Joe Biden,
giving into the pro Haamaus wing of their party, have
(03:49):
been withholding support and weaponry.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We saw that.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
After the April attack direct attack by Iran. They usually
use their proxy Hamas has belas lamighe the hoodie rebels,
but they would They only helped Israel defending itself, holding
the stand down, not retaliate against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is
supplying all the weaponry for all of these various groups.
(04:15):
They helped orchestrate the October seventh, twenty three attack that
murdered Israeli's the equivalent of forty thousand Americans in a day,
and kidnapped even Americans, and they kidnapped hundreds of people.
And then of course the rapes that are on video.
I've seen them, the beheadings on video, I've seen them.
(04:36):
You know, the torture on video, I've seen it, and
I wish the Israeli Defense Forces would release all of
it and allow the likes of me to air it
on television. I tried hard to get permission to do it,
but out of respect for the families, they don't want
to do that. But they did want people in the
media to know exactly what went on, and it was
(04:59):
right of them to do so. So here we are
after and remember also it was Biden and Harris that said, well,
you can't use cluster bombs, you can't use this bomb,
you can't use this weapon. I mean, they've been putting
handcuffs on the Ukrainians and their ability to fight back.
And the thing that has been most effective for the
(05:19):
Ukraine in this conflict, in this war has been the
use of drones and using those drones inside of Russian territory.
I think that that is the single best thing that
they have done that has gotten Vladimir Putin's attention, and
you know, to the credit of the Ukrainians. I mean,
Putin is an evil sob if he had, if he
(05:43):
had territorial claims as he says he does, and he
wanted to discuss it, you know, certainly there were other
means of dealing with this. But again we're at a
point where Vladimir Putin doesn't give a flying rip what
Jo Biden thinks. He doesn't care what Kamala hars thinks.
He didn't care about what Barack Obama thought. Notice the
(06:04):
only four years there was no conflict or no issues
is when Donald Trump was president. So here, usually a
sitting president would never do what Joe Biden did here,
and they now at this last minute with you know
what's today's date? Today is the nineteenth of November. We're
(06:25):
now two months away from a new president, an inauguration,
and they decide to purposellly escalate this conflict. And they
are allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with these ballistic
missiles provided by the US, and it's unlikely to change
the course of the war in any substantial way. However,
(06:50):
then the Russians have responded by changing and updating their
nuclear weapons doctrine to allow for nuclear strikes in response
to farm below missiles and attacks. Well, great job, Joe.
I mean, this is a disaster. It is an unmitigated disaster.
But there's your modern Democratic party. And then I saw
(07:12):
in the Washington Times today the Biden Justice Department has
quietly dismissed charges against two Jordanian immigrants who were arrested
after driving their truck into a vehicle barrier on a
marine base earlier this year, leaving a host of questions
about the incident.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Why would you ever do that?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Documents detailing the arrest obtained and released by Judicial Watch
indicated that these guys snuck across the US Mexico border
What a shock in April, were processed released by Homeland
Security and they didn't detail any immigration history beyond that.
But they claimed to be making a delivery run and
(07:51):
were asked to wait while their identities were be in check,
but the driver continued to move the box truck forward
and anyway. They raised the vehicle barriers and arrested these guys.
Immigration authorities initially told base officials that he was on
a terror watch list. I mean, they're covering up. So
it seems to me they're covering up something here. I
(08:12):
don't know what, I really don't but again, reckless behavior.
What have I been saying. I've been telling everybody that
it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of
when we're going to wake up one day and we're
going to be a victim of a massive terror attack.
Because of Harris Biden unvetted illegal immigrants, including known terrorists,
(08:34):
that they have allowed into this country. On top of
the murderers, the rapists, the violent criminals, the gangs, the cartels,
they've allowed all of the men, and we have an update.
Donald Trump is committed as ever to deporting those criminals
and others that didn't respect our laws, our border, and
our sovereignty. We have an update on law fair. I'm
(08:58):
not sure yet can completely how to analyze this, but
Judge Juan Mershawn, this is the ridiculous case whose statute
of limitations had long since passed. The thirty four counts
against that they piled on Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's court.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's called you know, basically stacking charges. You stack the
charges against somebody and you take one charge and you
make it thirty four charges. But anyway, this will never hold.
But the judges considering how to proceed with sentencing given
that Donald Trump is now the president elect, and the
sentencing that was scheduled for November the twenty sixth has
(09:34):
been adjourned no explanation, and the judge is still considering
how to proceed with sentencing given that Trump is now
the president elect and preparing to take office in January.
The problem in all of this is you've got a
politicized district attorney by the name of Valvin Bragg that
is in a heavily heavily blue district as blue as
(09:59):
it gets well, like eighty percent of people in New
York City are registered Democrats, and he's up for re
election and it's good for his political prospects to be
as anti Trump as possible. But anyway, it's the Manhattan
prosecutors under Bragg are said to tell Mersham whether they
believe the case should be moved to the sentencing phase
(10:20):
considering Trump's new status. I mean, we really don't know
what's going to happen here. It may be better because
in the sense I mean, there's even talk of leaving
this open for four years while Donald Trump is the
president and picking it up when he leaves the Oval office.
This is madness. There should be some level of prosecutorial
(10:41):
discretion here. And if you think Democrats can't get any
sneakier or more hypocritical, I mean, we had a September
Supreme Court ruling in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as it
relates to what represents a valid ballot, properly dated et cetera,
signed by the voter would only be included. The Supreme
(11:05):
Court was very very clear in their decision. And anyway,
so that was September. I don't know why, but there
were certain counties in Pennsylvania that decided they didn't care
what the Supreme Court said, and so they decided to
count ballots that the Supreme Court had just ruled were
not legal. And anyway, the Republicans went back to the
(11:27):
Pennsylvania Supreme Court and they have upheld their own decision
from December or September, which shouldn't surprise anybody. It was
a seven to zero decision, and even the Democratic Governor Shapiro,
who should have been more outspoken before this, in my view,
had sided with the state Supreme Court. One Trump campaign
(11:48):
official says, Pennsylvania Democrats will face jail time over this
ballot recount and not following the law, especially a recent
Supreme Court decision in that state.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Even one editorial came out said, Pennsylvania Democrats show their
true disdain for democracy in what they're doing here. You
want to talk about election denialism, You notice Democrats don't
seem to care when Democrats do it. And what they
were doing in Pennsylvania clearly was a violation of law.
Thank goodness, Republicans, they got a little more savvy this time,
(12:22):
and they've been a lot smarter.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
One issue we're going to go over in great specificity,
in detail is the issue of Donald Trump's appointments and
the possibility that in some cases, if he doesn't think
he can get things done fast enough with the advising
consent of the US Senate, he would use what's called
a recess appointment. Ideally, you'd never want to do that,
(12:48):
but it's hardly unprecedented. Obama made over thirty of them.
Bush forty three made over one hundred and seventy of them.
Bush forty one used a recess appointment for a Secretary State.
I mean, if you want to go over all of
the different cases, you can take it all the way
back recess appointments to George Washington. I'll give you the
history that in the course of the program today. Anyway,
(13:11):
eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is on number
if you want to be a part of the program. Also,
the vig Ramaswami will join us. I love what he
and Elon Musk are doing by the way they're staying
outside of the government, and like the Grace Commission that
Ronald Reagan formed in the nineteen eighties, the best business,
Brightest Business, minds in the country. They're going to come
(13:32):
up with ways to run government more like a business.
In other words, for anybody that has ever wanted limited
government and more freedom, this is probably the only opportunity
that we will have in our lifetime to get rid
of waste and fraud and abuse. And they're talking about
cutting two trillion dollars and I think they're serious as hell,
(13:55):
and I think it will happen as long as Republican
lawmakers go along with what their recommendations are. Those recommendations
are expected on July fourth, or twenty twenty six. I
don't think I did the story about Alvin Bragg and
Judge Mershaw onn Justice. Let me explain what this is here.
The Alvin Bragg's office announced that they would not oppose
(14:16):
putting a pause on the criminal proceedings, meaning the sentencing
of President elect Trump included until after he leaves the
White House in twenty twenty nine, which would keep this stupid,
ridiculous case alive, which by the way, goes against the
Supreme Court ruling on immunity because they had testimony. Whope
Picks comes to mind of the time when he was
(14:40):
president and acts as president in the trial, which means
it should be overturned. Anyway, there's a whole host of
unconstitutionality here. The statute of limitations had run out. It
was a novel legal theory that had never been tried before.
But you know this is madness. But anyway, the DA's
office did proposed December of the ninth as the deadline
(15:02):
for their upcoming filing, which will quote consider the possibility
of dismissing the case. Judge Mershawn was slated to decide
today whether a Supreme Court ruling grand strump community from prosecution.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And it does.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And they had testimony from the time that he was
president that was brought before that jury. This case is done,
it is cooked, it is over, it is finished. The
only reason Alvin Bragg would want to keep it alive
is because politically he's in an elected position. Is that
liberal New York City would like that he's persecuting Trump.
(15:48):
When news breaks, you get the inside story that no
one else has and the behind the scenes chatter that
the mainstream media doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Even know about this. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hy twenty five to the top of the hour. We
have a lot of news to get to today. We'll
get to your calls today. Viveke Ramaswami's going to join
us today. We'll talk about the Department of Government efficiency.
They want to cut two trillion dollars, waste, fraud, abuse, bureaucracy.
If you've ever wanted an opportunity for America to have
(16:25):
limited government, more freedom, this is it. This will probably
be the only shot we get. And what Viveke and
Elon Musk are able to pull off here is going
to be critical. Now if you look at the issue
of the controversial appointments, and it seems that the state
(16:46):
run media mob.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
First of all, what's.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Amazing to me is when Matt Gates was, for example, announced,
and it's like the media went right back into campaign mode.
The legacy media, eight run media, Bob, they went crazy,
and I watched with amazement. Is we were kind of
right back to where they left off in spite of
(17:09):
the biggest beatdown ever. And I've been arguing that legacy media.
We learned in this election. Celebrity endorsements they don't mean
a damn thing anymore. Nobody trusts them. Nobody looks to
Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, you know, John bond Jovi or
Howard Stern or call me Daddy podcasters for their political
(17:30):
opinions doesn't mean that they don't have good music or
qualities at all. I'm not even being critical. We live
in a free country. They're allowed to express their point
of view. But in terms of their ability to influence voting,
they were not successful. You know, we've had nine straight
years of unending, not incessant, insane Trump bashing. It's been
(17:57):
every second, every minute, every hour of every twenty four
hour day, every seven day week, every month, every year
for nine years, and they just haven't stopped.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And with all of all of the horrible.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Things that they have said and done to Donald Trump,
nothing stuck. The American people didn't care. They they knew
about what the criticisms, and they now ignore legacy media.
Well how do I define legacy media. Well, that would
(18:30):
be every major newspaper that hated Donald Trump, which is
most of them in starting with the New York Times
and the Washington Post and USA Today and the LA Times.
And then we talk about not one, not two, but
three broadcast channels that have these crappy news half hours
that fewer and fewer people are watching every day, you know,
(18:51):
coupled with Sunday shows that nobody pays attention to anymore,
they have no impact. I keep telling Republicans when they
go on these Sunday shows, I said, why are you
even bothering? You know, the day the day of David Brinkley, though,
Bob Sheefer, Tim Russer, who I think was the best
of all of them by far, are long gone.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Peter Jennings, you know, God rest his soul is you know,
he was a nice guy. You know, Peter Jennings sought
out my viewpoints. So did Tim Russer. Tom Broke all
was ever, always very nice to me, interviewed him many times.
No problem with them, you know. Tim Russer would say,
well tell me why, Explain to me why you conservatives
(19:36):
think this, and he'd want he'd seek out my reasoning,
my thought process, my rationale. And at this point, I mean,
the times that I've watched these Sunday programs, they're so meaningless.
It's all a game of gotcha. I mean, the only
question they seem to just always want to go back
to his January sixth. I'm like, stop, I can't take
(19:58):
it anymore. And none of these people ever brought up
Kamala Harris. They're not going to stop writing. They shouldn't
stop writing. We're not going to stop supporting the five
hundred and seventy four riots around the country. Oh, you know,
Liz Cheney, I think would identify that as insurrection. She
was never asked about the bail fund that she tweeted
(20:19):
out four days after the Minneapolis Police precinct was burned
to the ground, the Minnesota Police, the Minnesota Bellfund that
she tweeted out. And you're going to see the same
hysteria in terms of you know, they're going to treat
Matt Gates, Pete Haig, Seth, Robert Kennedy, Junior, Pulsey Gabbard.
(20:42):
They seem to be the top picks to go after.
It's going to be just like Clarence Thomas and Cavanaugh
and anybody else thinking smear, slander, brismirch and attack for
whatever reason. But I tell you what's happening because I
thought the first day and this is an total But
I think it tells us a lot. Since the election,
(21:04):
people are not watching fake New CNN. They're not Their
ratings are in the tank. The same with MSDNC and
they're gonna try and rebuild themselves as the Trump Resistance
yet again and emerge from the ashes like the phoenix.
I just don't think it's it's it's going to be meaningful.
I mean, they'll get the loonies, They'll get the people
(21:24):
that are shaving their heads and swearing off sex and
that are you know, stockpiling abortion pills and you know,
threatening to divorce husbands over the election. I mean, I
guess that crowd will watch and hang on every word,
But it just seems in the minds of every other
(21:48):
American if if if starting out with Trump is evil,
threat to democracy January sixth, He's horrible, He's a Nazi.
Ending with the closing argument, he's a Nazi fascist, threat
to democracy. He's a racist, and all of his supporters
are garbage. If that didn't work, why do they think
(22:08):
this same strategy which they are now employing against Trump
appointments is going to work? Also because it didn't work
the first time, you know. Lindsey Graham's a great case
in point. He has voted for people in cabinet positions
that he doesn't like, that he doesn't agree with with
the understanding and belief that presidents get a mandate from
(22:32):
the American people and ought to have the people that
they believe are the best person for the job, whether
you agree or whether you disagree. I mean Eric Holder,
you know, the wingman of Barack Obama. Great case in
point for Attorney general. You know, when they're down, we
kick them. If you don't see Merrick Garland and his
(22:53):
weaponized Department of Justice, if you can't see it, don't
you're just blind. I mean, I don't feel going over
the list of examples if you don't see that the
FBI has been politicized starting with James Comy. It should
have been cleaned up by Christopher Ray. He had every
opportunity to clean it up. Sadly he didn't. I've called
for him to clean it up many many times. He
(23:15):
had an opportunity to restore what was the world's premier
law enforcement agency to its former greatness. That'll have to
happen under President Trump. And the same goes with the
intelligence agencies. I think they deteriorated from their former greatness
under the likes of Brennan and Clapper. That's my opinion.
(23:35):
You know, the idea that fifty one former Intel officials
can just flat out make up a story about a
very real laptop and tell the American people because wink
and Tony Blinken organize them to say that it has
all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. It's unbelievable. Or the
whole FISA scam that took place, you know, using Hillary
(23:56):
Clinton's bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier as the
foulundation for four PAISA warrants to spy on then candidate Trump,
his transition team and later his presidency. I mean, poor
part of a carter page. If you might remember him,
he's been on the show many times. So the next
thing that you're going to hear is Donald Trump is
about to abuse power. He's going to have recess appointments,
(24:20):
and it's outrageous, and he is bypassing the US Constitution.
This is what you're going to hear, and that is
the advising consent role of the US Senate. Now, just
as a matter of to give you a baseline of this,
because if you believe the fraudulent media donald Trump's plan
(24:41):
that I would prefer, by the way, let me be straightforward,
I would prefer that the Republicans that control the US
Senate give him the choice that he wants. There might
be a couple that, for whatever reason legitimate or not,
I don't know, are going to vote against some of
Trump's appointees. But anyway, this is an option because it
(25:05):
is you know, it would not be unprecedented the way
the mob and the state run legacy media is portraying it.
Barack Obama used recess appointments thirty two times. The last
Republican president that won the popular vote, George W. Bush,
actually made one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. In fact,
(25:27):
we've had no less than ten Supreme Court justices installed
on the court through recess appointments by the president. President
Eisenhower did that three times. If Donald Trump tries to
do this with even one Supreme Court justice, the media
would go insane. But if I'm reading from Reuters now,
past presidents have taken advantage of the recess appointment clause.
(25:51):
Democrat Barack Obama had made thirty two recess appointments, while
Bush made one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. According
to the Congressional Research Service, if you look at Wikipedia,
president since George Washington have made recess appointments. Washington appointed
South Carolina judge John Rutledge as the Chief Justice of
(26:14):
the United States during a congressional recess in seventeen ninety five.
Almost every president has used recess appointments to appoint judges,
over three hundred such judicial recess appointments before two thousand,
including ten Supreme Court justices. New Jersey Judge William J.
Brennan was appointed to the Supreme Court by Dwight Eisenhower
(26:36):
nineteen fifty six by a recess appointment. Eisenhower made two
other recess appointments, chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice
Potter Stewart, and according to Congressional Research Service, President Reagan
made two hundred and forty recess appointments, an average of
thirty per year. President George H. W. Bush made seventy
(26:56):
seven recess appointments an average in nineteen a year.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
George H. W.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Bush appointed Lawrence Egleberger as Secretary of State during a
recess in nineteen ninety two, and ego Berger as Deputy
Secretary of State had an effect filled that role after
James Baker resigned. President Bill Clinton made one hundred and
thirty nine recess appointments and averages seventeen per year. So
(27:22):
I say this because we know what's coming anyway, so
just prepare for that. That's stuff we'll deal with after
the new year. But I'm just giving you a preview
of coming attractions. Biden, by the way, gives the World
Bank on his way out, on top of what he's
doing with Ukraine, which is disgusting and despicable. But Biden
is attempting to give the World Bank billions of your
(27:44):
tax dollars before Donald Trump takes office. Apparently, Biden has
pledged four billion dollars to the World Bank's International Development
Association with the world's poorest countries during a closed door
meeting at the G twenty in Rio djon Zo, according
to Reuters. More broadly, the Deputy National Security Advisor told
(28:05):
Reuters and reporters on Monday that Biden will highlight the
funding request. America should not be funding the UN. We
should not be funding, in this particular case, billions of
dollars the way Joe Biden is, especially when we don't
have the money. We shouldn't be funding the World Banks
International Development Association. We shouldn't be supporting other globalist organizations.
(28:31):
Like the w h O or the w EF, the
World Economic Form. We shouldn't be in the Paris Accords,
and I'm sure Donald Trump will get out of that.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We shouldn't be doing any of that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
We shouldn't be giving two hundred billion dollars in weapons
to Ukraine when they are so mineral rich that they
can pay for They can pay for every weapon that
they're providing. And now Joe Biden gives the go ahead,
you know, to use missiles to fire directly into Moscow.
Not a good idea. By the way, things are so
bad with illegal immigrants. Philadelphia public schools are having students
(29:08):
eat lunch at nine am because the cafeteria is so
overcrowded with Biden harrise illegals. Lake and Riley's accused killer
was part of a of Venezuela's most violent gang, according
to testimony given in that case. GOP senators are urging
Trump to trust the corrupt Biden FBI to carry out
(29:30):
honest and fair background checks. I think they've decided now
that they're going to do their own background checks without them.
And Biden has ramped up sanctions against Israel while doling
out millions to pro Hamas Palestinians over two billion dollars
in taxpayer funds there. It's pretty unbelievable. Thank goodness, the
(29:50):
American people have woken up all right. Eight hundred and
nine to four one Shawn is a number if you
want to be a part of the program.
