Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News round up information Overlord hour eight hundred

(00:03):
nine four one, Shawn, if you want to be a
part of the program. You know, it's amazing that so
much we're learning about January sixth, that the January six
hearings never told us. We played for you now many times,
even NBC reporting that all of this intelligence was available. Alba,

(00:25):
I'm going to play this left the whole thing. All
of this intelligence was available and they didn't act upon
it before January sixth, actionable intelligence. In other words, this
could have been prevented if they did basic law enforcement.
You know, one on one maneuvers here. It's unreal. Listen

(00:46):
to this NBC report Now to our NBC News exclusive.
The January six Committee's final report was more than eight
hundred pages, but some material did not make the cut,
including much of its findings on the failures of federal
law enforcement leading up to the attack. Chief investigator of
the January sixth Committee says the government could have prevented
it had law enforcement agencies acted on the available intelligence.

(01:09):
Do you believe the attack on the Capitol could have
been successfully repelled? I think it would have been a
lot different had law enforcement taken a more assertive protective posture.
Law enforcement had a very direct role in contributing to
certainly the failures, the security failures that led to the violence.
People familiar with the committee's work tell NBC News members

(01:30):
downplayed that finding because they wanted to keep the focus
on former President Trump. Committee members dispute that Hafey would
not discuss internal deliberations. Was this an intelligence failure? It
was not an intelligence failure that pehistorical preach of live
Hathey says. The committee found the FBI, the Department of
Homeland Security, and other agencies did not act on the

(01:52):
intelligence they had. Now, that's not the only thing we discovered.
And the course of interviews that I have had in
the days, just a few days before January sixth, there
was a meeting in the White House and the issue
of calling up the National Guard came up, and what
do we have. We have the Defense Secretary at the time,
Chris Miller, his chief of staff President Trump, Mark Meadows,

(02:18):
and we don't have it on tape, but it was
in the Inspector General's report. Even General milly All acknowledging
that Trump wanted the Guard on duty and ready in
case something happened. Listen, did you authorize calling up the guard?
And then it became the chain of command went to
Nancy Pelosi and to the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser.

(02:40):
Did you, as required by law, authorize that one? And
attested to by many people, and they turned it down.
Nancy Pelosi turned it down. Mayor Bowser's written refusal, the
communications between the leader of the Capitol Police and there
enough command to the DoD refusing our request to allow

(03:04):
National guardsmen and women to stage on January four and
five before January six? Did you both ask for the
National Guard to be called up without a doubt? Sean,
We've made that very clear, not just once, but on
numerous occasions. We wanted to make sure that there was
plenty of National Guard on the ready in case there
was some kind of violence. I had a meeting with

(03:26):
President Trump on the third of January concerning some international threats,
and at the very end he asked if there were
any requests for national Guards supporting What was the President's
response to you with regards to the request made by
Mayor Bowser Phillott and do whatever was necessary to protect
the demonstrators. That was now NBC News reporting Federal law

(03:51):
enforcement could have prevented this. They didn't act on the intelligence.
And then all these people in a meeting with the
president saying do we have guard troops? Are we're gonna
need him for this day? Now it gets even more interesting,
and that is because as a terrific book out. You
can get it on Amazon dot com. We'll put it
up on Hannity dot com. It's in bookstores everywhere. It's

(04:13):
called Courage under Fire. It's written by Stephen A. Son.
He was the Capitol police chief on January sixth, and
he himself made multiple requests for the National Guard. They
were all declined. He joins us. Now, sir, welcome to
the program. It's a honor to have you, Sean. Thank

(04:33):
you very much for having me on today. There's still
so much people don't know about January sixth. Let me
just hand you the microphone. You heard what I just played.
You heard NBC. You heard President Trump and Mark Meadows
and Chris Miller and others. What was your reaction to that.
I've got a few things to say. I will tell

(04:54):
you this and just give me a couple of minutes.
Congress passed a law that restricted my ability to bring
in federal resources, whether it's the FBI, ATF or National Guard,
an advance of an event, or even during an emergency
like we had on January sixth, without first obtaining approval
from the Capitol Police Board and the leadership. And then
I was denied January third by Pelosi's sergeant armist Paul Irving,

(05:18):
to bring in the National Guard in advance. And then
when we are under attack, I repeatedly requested permission to
bring in the National Guard over and over from from
twelve fifty eight pm until two oh nine pm, seventy
one minutes, we paid calls, I mean thirty two calls
my law enforcement partners kind of getting an assistance. Eleven
of those calls went to the sergeant arms and it

(05:39):
took seventy one minutes to finally get a pool. And
then you know what the kicker is. Pelosi goes on
the television the very next day says I fail as
a leader, calls my resignation, and then lies to the
American public saying I never even talked to her that day.
I spoke to her three times. And by the way,
why didn't the January sixth committee subpoena her text messages
are phone records or email records from that day? Why

(06:02):
didn't they get Muriel Bowsers? Why didn't they ask for yours?
Or maybe they did ask for yours. Oh, I gave
them everything I had. Why didn't they call me and
asked me to test my public with Well, that's a
great question. I can give you my answer. What I
believe to be the answer is they had a predetermined
narrative and a predetermined conclusion. And I'll tell you what

(06:23):
the worst part is, and I think you'll agree with
me from a law enforcement standpoint, they didn't come up
with a single plan or idea to prevent this from
ever happening again. He didn't You know, you are right
about that. I mean, we can have our institutions and
our politicians chief, we can't have them under attack like this.

(06:45):
I was condemning it on this show in real time.
I condemned it on my TV show that night, like
I condemned the five hundred and seventy four riots in
the summer of twenty twenty that everybody told us it
was so peaceful, which wasn't. And I absolutely you appreciate that,
and I will tell you it's your absolutely right. Very
little has been done to prevent this from happening. Yet
they did pass one one law that allows the chief

(07:07):
to call in the National Guard and their emergency. Look
at this, they made it revocable by by members of Congress.
That's crazy. So what's even interesting is when you talk
about that we have eighteen agencies that make up the
intelligence community, half of those are military. Like you had said,
we now know Millie had would such great concerns. On
the Sunday before January sixth, he talked about locking down

(07:29):
the city and revoking permits on Capitolill you know who
signs those parts? Me? You know who? They didn't tell me? Wow,
my men and when were left out there without some
critical intelligence that that should have been in the intelligence
assessmince I was getting And that's that's probably a whole
another call. But anyway, instead I had to get on
a call at two thirty four pm begging with the

(07:50):
Pentagon to send nash of Oard troops that were within
eyesight of the capital. And guess what, they didn't send them.
They send them back to the armory and sent evening
troops to relieve and come to the capital. They didn't
want Until five point PM so you reach out in
the days before January six you're reaching out that day
and you're not getting any help at all whatsoever. And

(08:13):
we're watching what's unfolding before our eyes. Everybody's in a
state of shock. And yet this never came to light
in the January sixth committee. They didn't come up with
a plan how to create a perimeter to make sure
that that capital forever remained safe and our politicians and
never attacked again. They didn't do that either. And no

(08:33):
matter how many times you asked, And this is important,
and you point this out in your book, the rules
are different for you because of two specific statutes restricting
your ability to obtain the needed support for your officers.
And you know, the two statutes prohibited you from calling
up the National Guard or even federal law enforcement to

(08:54):
support an advance unless all these other people approve it.
You did not have the authority need to do it.
And when you asked, they didn't help you. Right, I
was denied the approval in advance and then delayed for
seventy one minutes when when we were under attack on
January sixth, it's it's atrocious what we went through. But
then to be you know, put on national TV and
made the scapegoat for you know, a law. They were

(09:16):
the ones that passed and tied my hands. That's that's
what really kind of hurts me. So at the end
of this, how many years had you served as the
chief of the Capitol Police. I have thirty years of
law enforcement experience, but twenty five little over twenty five
of those with DC Police. I had been the chief
of Capitol Police for eighteen months when this occurred. Yeah,

(09:37):
and I noticed by the way that you know, one
January sixth, Committee Member Zoe Loughrin was on the House
committee overseeing the Capitol Police and received security briefings that
had on Won six. Did she not see the security
briefings that NBC was reporting. I don't know what other
security briefings she had. The intelligence that I had available

(09:58):
to me I'd outlined in detail in the book, and
you'll see that those, even those intelligence don't indicate the
level of intelligence that we now know existed. That people
were planning, There was groups planning attacking the capital, there
penetrating the capital, doing a number of things. None of
that have been portrayed, not in any of the assessments,
not even in the footnotes and what they even put

(10:19):
out assessments in demonstrations low probability of civil disobedience. Did
you know the Muriel Bowser is on record denying calling
up and saying you don't have authority to call up
the Guard. Do you aware of that? Yes? I do so.
When I first asked Paul Irving for the use of
the National Guard on January third, he used the term optics.

(10:41):
He was concerned about optics, and I believe that goes
back to Speaker Plows He's concerned within the terms. She
used stormtroopers to refer to our you know, fine men
and women in federal law enforce and National Guard, referring
to them being on the streets of the United States
during the twenty twenty riots. Murial bowns Or put out
a letter I believe it was January fourth to fifth

(11:02):
I referenced in the book that says she does not
want any more National Guard. He called up without her expressit,
notification and approval of her in the Metro and police form.
So I am aware of that. That's unbelievable. More with
Chief Stephen A Son on the other side, don't forget
his book now on sale at Amazon dot com, Hannity
dot com, and bookstores everywhere. All right, we continue with

(11:26):
Capitol Police Chief, former Capitol Police Chief. He was there
on January six is request for the National Guard denied repeatedly.
Courage under fire as his book, Amazon dot com, Hannity
dot com, bookstores everywhere. You know, we watched in the
summer of twenty twenty five hundred and seventy four riots over.
We had a couple of thousand cops injured. We watched

(11:48):
every night as they were being hit with bricks and
rocks and molotov cocktails and frozen water bottles, a couple
of thousand cops injured. We had dozens of dead Americans,
sixteen thousand rioters, arrested, six hundred cases of arson, billions
of dollars in property damage. How come they didn't have
a hearing on that. Well, let's just tie it down

(12:11):
to Washington, DC. You know, during the riots ahead of
it with the White House between May thirtieth and I
think June first or second. You when they're attacking the
White House repeatedly and made the President and his family
going to the bunker. There was more officers injured there
than they were at the Capital on January sixth. Yeah, well,
let me ask you this question, now that some of

(12:33):
this new videotape has come out, what was your reaction
to it? You know, I'll tell you in favor of
the videotapes being released. I think transparency is important, you know.
I think any any chief that's faced with a body
worn camera in kind of issue like that one, they're
going people are gonna call for to be released, but
I think it should be released. So I'm all in
favorite being released, and people are looking for fair and

(12:56):
balanced reporting, and that's ultimately I think the goal. I
think that's when Turger Carlson was releasing I think that
was his main concern, you know, to provide the alternative,
you know, of what was being put out just by
the G six. But my concern, and I think some
of the concern of law enforcement, is his portrayal made
it look like it was just more of a walk
in the park that it really was that day. Apparently

(13:18):
Benny Thompson, who headed up to J six committee, is
actually out there was on fake news CNN and he
was claiming that none of the committee members had access
to this footage. I find that hard to believe. He said,
only committee staffers kind of went through the video. Now,
if if you're being charged, if you're a lawyer and

(13:41):
you find out this forty one thousand hours worth of footage,
crazy amount of footage, I would think that they would
want that evidence, potential evidence that could be exculpatory towards
their clients. Wouldn't you think they'd request that? Now? Well,
absolutely would think they'd request I mean, any any police
officer knows and any information you have associated with any

(14:01):
kind of prosecution or any kind of cases, which becomes
what they called Jews material. But you know, for him,
you know, as a member of the committee, to be
saying they didn't have access to it, but his staffers
may have. If your staffers haven't, they're working for you,
that's still you having access to it. And you should
have had access to everything available from the Capitol Police.
I would have been very exprised if they didn't come out.
It sounds to me like they selectively edited it and

(14:24):
they failed this country by not telling a true and
accurate story and not interviewing very key players like Nancy Pelosi,
the Sergeant of Arms, the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser,
and not bringing you in I think you would have
been one of the most important people to talk to.
It's sad that you had to say this in a book.

(14:44):
It's sad that people smeared you. It was undeserved. You
did not have the authority to do what they told
you they wanted done or should have been done, and
when you asked, you were denied. I mean, it doesn't
get any more clear than that. And the worst part
is we don't have any plan place to stop this
from ever happening again. And uh, anyway, Chief Stephen, a

(15:06):
sound thank you for being with us. The book is
called Courage under Fire. It's on Amazon dot com, Hannity
dot com, it's in bookstores everywhere. I think your story
deserves to be heard. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it, Sir,
I appreciate it. Eight hundred nine four one sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, all right,
twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight
hundred and nine four one sean our number, if you

(15:27):
want to be a part of the program. And anyway,
we have a lot going on today and we got
a great show tonight. If you want to be part
of a studio audience show. It's simple, just go to
Hannity dot com. Tickets are absolutely positively free. You don't
get anything for free these days. No, but anyway, we'd
love to have you. People are having a great time.

(15:48):
We throw out a ton of footballs and I make
people catch him before I say that you can have
it where you hit him in the head. No, there's
been a couple of people. There's been there's been a war,
people jumping off. That's why they sign that way before
they sit down. Liability waiver. Do they sign a waiver
of course before potentially getting hit by Sean Hannity. I
doubt it. But anyway, last year listening, by the way,

(16:10):
I am kidding, I know our friends are preborn. They
don't get any money like planned parenthood from the federal
government none, not a penny. But they are in the
baby saving business and what they're doing is using the
science of ultrasound and ultrasound today what is it a
four G? I mean you could you can see fingers
and toes? Were you able to see that with Liam

(16:31):
and facial features at a pretty forget stage right, he's
already making the phase. I don't want to do that,
but that's the thing. So every and any expecting woman
that wants a free ultrasound, you can have one thanks
to Preborn. And the only reason Preborn can offer that
for free is because of generous donations from people in

(16:53):
the pro life community, people that believe in the sanctity
of life, and they're using this science and it's having
a profound impact. People take a look at a baby
growing inside them and they say, I'm gonna keep that baby,
and then they hear the heartbeat, I'm gonna keep that baby. Anyway,
if you want a sponsor, for example, it's twenty eight
dollars apiece. Sponsor as many as you like, and you

(17:14):
might actually literally be saving, you know, a baby's life
from abortion. Anyway. I love the fact that they don't
take a penny from the government and anyway, they're doing
great work. I'm gonna make my donation this weekend. Just
I'll pound two fifty on your cell. Say the keyword baby.
Pound two fifty on your cell, keyword baby. They have
a safe and secure website at preborn dot com slash sean.

(17:37):
That's preborn dot com slash sean And you're gonna love
this group, and they really really having a major impact
on the issue of life. So Jim Jordan, he previewed
this on my television show the other night. Jim Jordan
is now looking at information that our government now is

(17:58):
searching for every single correspondence of Elon Musk. Elon Musk
is a private citizen and all has to do with
the fact that he bought purchased Twitter. It all has
to do with the fact that he has been forthcoming
with information about the inner workings of Twitter prior to
his ownership, and he's hired, you know, a bunch of

(18:20):
journalists and people to do the work for him. And
that's where we discovered that the FBI had been meeting
weekly with big tech companies in the lead up to
the twenty twenty election, telling them they may be victims
of a disinformation campaign from a foreign country and it
may be about Joe Biden or even his son, Hunter Biden.

(18:41):
I Meanwhile, the FBI knew that Hunter Biden had the
laptop because they had a copy of it since December
twenty nineteen. They also knew Rudy Giuliani had a copy,
so the odds were pretty high that that that was
going to get leaked before the election, and lo and
behold the New York Post ran the story about one
hunter is very real laptop. But these big tech companies

(19:03):
had all been primed and prepped to expect the worst
from the FBI, putting their thumbs on the scale once
again of an election. Anyway, Jim Jordan is now looking
into this privacy breach of what is elon must Does
he not have a right to privacy? Does he have
not have a right to run a company the way

(19:24):
he sees fit? I think he's smarter than most of
these idiots from Washington. Anyway, here's Jim Jordan. He reads
in an email from the White House asking Twitter to
censor a tweet. You cannot find actual evidence of any
direct government censorship of any lawful speech. And when I

(19:45):
say lawful, I mean non criminal speech, because plenty idiounch
is non criminal. I'll give you when a gentleman's time
to expire, I'd asking Himi's consent to enter into the record.
The following email from Clark Humphrey, Executive Office of the Presidency,
White House Office, January twenty third, twenty twenty one. That's
the Biden administration, four thirty nine am. Hey, folks, this

(20:09):
goes to Twitter. Hey, folks wanted to use the term
mister mister, they used the terms mister Goldman just used
wanted to flag the below tweet and then wondering if
we can get moving on the process for having it
removed asap. Boom. Now, one of the main reporters that
were used in the Twitter files as a guy by

(20:31):
the name of Matt Taiebee. Now, Matt Tiebee is no
fan of Sean Hannity's How do I know because he
actually wrote a book and put my picture on it,
Rachel Madhow's picture on it, and it was called hate Ink.
I don't think he likes me. I don't know why
he doesn't like me at all. And he said why
today's media makes us despise one another. Matt, I don't

(20:55):
make anybody despise anybody. I give out information. And if
you want to take issue with any specific information I
give out, I'd be glad to have him on the program.
We can talk about it. But anyway, Matt Taiebi did
excoriate today. He testified about the relationship with government and
Twitter and how they targeted tens of thousands of individuals

(21:16):
and sights on the left and right and he said
he learned that social media companies developed a system for
taking him requests from government and private companies and making
lists of people spreading disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, then ripped the
media for becoming an arm of the state sponsored through
their policing system. It's actually worth listening to all of

(21:38):
its long cut. Let me play this for you because
I think it's relevant because had the FBI not primed
these big tech companies to be on the lookout, something
about Hunter or Joe may come out. It's probably misinformation.
The world would have known that. What the FBI should
have known by then, eleven months in they had a

(22:00):
month's prior. They had the Hunter Biden laptop from Hell. Anyway,
here's what he said in testimony today. It's worth listening to.
The original promise of the Internet was that it might
democratize the exchange of information globally. A free Internet would
overwhelm all attempts to control information flow. It's very existence
a threat to anti democratic forms of government everywhere. What

(22:24):
we found in the files was a sweeping effort to
reverse that promise and use machine learning and other tools
to turn the Internet into an instrument of censorship and
social control. Unfortunately, our own government appears to be playing
a lead role. We saw the first Hinston communications between
Twitter executives before the twenty twenty election, when we read

(22:46):
things like flagged by DHS or please see attached report
from FBI for potential misinformation. This would be attached to
an Excel spreadsheet with a long list of names whose
accounts were offensive spend. Shortly after again, ranking member classict
I would note that the evidence of Twitter government relationship
includes lists of tens of thousands of names on both

(23:09):
the left and right. The people affected include Trump supporters,
but also left leaning sites like Consortium and truth Out,
the leftist South American channel teles or the yellow vest
movement that in effect is a key point of the
Twitter files that is neither a left nor right issue. Twitter, Facebook, Google,
and other companies developed a formal system for taking in

(23:32):
moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI,
the DHS, the HHS, DoD, the Global Engagement Center at State,
even the CIA. For every government agency scanning Twitter, there
were perhaps twenty quasi private entities doing the same thing,
including Stanford's Election Integrity Partnership, News Guard, the Global Disinformation Index,

(23:56):
and many others, many taxpayer funded. A focus of this
fast growing network, as Mike noted, is making lists of
people whose opinions, beliefs, associations, or sympathies are deemed misinformation, disinformation,
or malinformation. That last term is just a euphemism for
true but inconvenient. Undeniably, the making of such lists is

(24:19):
a form of digital McCarthyism. Ordinary Americans are not just
being reported to Twitter for de amplification or deep platforming,
but the firms like PayPal, digital advertisers like Xander, and
crowdfunding sites like go fund me. These companies can and
do refuse service to law abiding people and businesses whose
only crime is falling a foul of a distant, faceless,

(24:42):
unaccountable algorithmic judge. As someone who grew up a traditional
ACLU liberal, this mechanism for punishment and deprivation without due
process is horrifying. Another troubling aspect is the role of
the press, which should be the people's last line of
defense in such cases, but instead of investigating these groups,

(25:03):
journalists partnered with them. If Twitter declined to remove an
account right away, government agencies and NGOs would call reporters
for The New York Times, Washington Posts and other outlets,
who in turn would call Twitter demanding to know why
action had not yet been taken. Effectively, news media became
an arm of the state sponsored thought policing system. I mean,

(25:23):
it's pretty fascinating, isn't it That you know, this is
now your government, you know, demanding the private emails of
Elon Musk. This is your government, your media mob that
are in sync together. And though it's not me that
hates Matt, it's people on the left. I've never called
for anybody to be canceled. I've never called for censorship.

(25:46):
I've never called for firings. I've never called for boycott's.
That's the left that does that. Actually, I've been a
victim of all of that throughout my career, not that
you would care to hear. I believe in freedom of speech,
every aspect of it, even speech I don't like. Chris
is in Alabama. Chris, how are you glad you called? Sir? Hey,

(26:08):
So thanks for taking my call as an honor to
speak to you. So you've settled several occasions that you've
spoken to Jim Jordan and many of the other Congressional
oversight Committee members. I'm thrilled to see that they are
finally investigating the weaponization and overreach of all these alphabet agencies,
like the way they're doing they're doing COVID origins, they're

(26:30):
doing whether the FBI has politicized, the DOJ weaponized the
disaster of Afghanistan. They're all over everything right now. I
love it. I love it. My question to you, though,
is do you get the impression when you're talking to
these folks that they have not just the intention, but
the guts to take these hearings to the next level

(26:52):
and actually prosecute folks like Mayorchis, Christopher Ray, Anthony Fauci,
Merrick Garland. What are your thoughts on that they can
only make referrals, They don't make that decision. That decision
would be made by the Attorney General of the United States,
the Department of Justice is part of the executive brand.
That would mean you'd need people like Merrick Garland and

(27:14):
Christopher Ray to do their job. So the answer to
your question is probably not likely. It's so frustrating, so
frustrating it would be Yep, it is. It's terrible. It's
it's beyond terrible. Listen, we have a dual justice system.
Conservatives are treated one way, liberals are treated in another way.
Trump's treated one way, Biden and Hillary Clinton are treated

(27:35):
in another way. I mean, I say it over and
over again, and you know, people I think are beginning
to get it. But it's taken a long time, hasn't it?
Sure has It would just be awfully nice to see
these traders perp walks like the left so often does
to the folks on the right for far less. If
you're a conservative, I would advise you to not spit

(27:56):
on the sidewalk, honestly, you know, I wouldn't advise you
not to Jaywalker. And one thing I tell everybody, if
you're a conservative and prominent conservative, I'm gonna warn you
one other thing. You better pay every tax you owe,
because that's the first thing they go after. Yeah. Anyway,
I appreciate the call. All right, let's go to William

(28:18):
and California. William, how are you glad you called? Thank
you so much. I'm doing good. Thank you. Yeah. So
my question is I worry that most of the people
aren't unaware of the probable collusion that was discovering in
Twitter files. I guess my question is do you believe
we will hit a tipping point when more of the
population will know and hopefully do something about it, And

(28:39):
if so, what does that timeline look like. Well, the
answer is yes, I think we're going to hit a
tipping point. Look, I think on every issue that the
country is facing, we're going to hit a tipping point.
To be honest, I think Americans now seeing the devastating
impact of Joe Biden's economic and energy policies. I think
the country is seeing very clear early that open borders

(29:02):
is a horrible idea. I think the country is seeing
a president that it is, you know, not cognitively there.
He's checked out. I think that has made the world
a far more dangerous place. We see our enemies, our
geopolitical foes, they're all, you know, saber rattling, and you know,

(29:22):
we can see in the case of Putin, his territorial
ambitions on full display. And I think, soon, I hope
I'm wrong, we'll see China's territorial ambitions on full display.
And I think all of it is bad for the country,
and all of it's bad for the world. So I
really don't know what else to say except the only
way you fix it is elect a new president and

(29:43):
a new Congress. And that's why I keep telling Republicans
they better get in the game of early voting, voting
by mail, and ballot harvesting based on what the state
law is in every individual state, because that's what the
Democrats are doing, and we better do it as good,
if not better. And then, of course I believe our
ideas are better and they'll be better for the country.

(30:06):
The country will be better off under conservative leadership. I'll
give you the last word, nothing else that answer my question.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you for
being one of the s eight hundred nine point one,
Shawn our number. If you want to be a part
of the program, look the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It
was born on America's darkest day, nine to eleven, two
thousand and one. They've been helping American heroes ever since. Now,

(30:29):
when a first responder or military service member doesn't come home,
young children are left behind, well, Tunnel to Towers pays
the mortgage on the family home to lift that financial
burden and bring that family some stability. Now for catastrophically
injured vets and first responders, Tunnel to Towers builds mortgage
free smart homes, giving severely injured heroes the ability to

(30:51):
live more independent lives, and through their Veterans Homelessness program
Tunnel to Towers, they're providing housing and services homeless vets
all across the country. They help more than five hundred
and twenty twenty two, they're gonna help three times that number,
fifteen hundred this year in twenty twenty three. People who
put their lives on the line for our country and

(31:13):
our communities need our help. It's that's simple, So we
hope that you'll join everyone on here on Team Hannity.
