Sean Hannity welcomes Cincinnati radio legend Bill Cunningham to discuss the brutal mob attack on a woman and man caught on video in downtown Cincinnati. Cunningham paints a grim picture of his once-proud city—now overrun with crime, drug use, police attrition, and progressive policies that have gutted public safety. The conversation expands to the collapse of major cities like New York, LA, and Chicago, where voters keep doubling down on the same failed leadership. It's a scathing critique of America’s urban decline and a warning for what’s next.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News Round of Information overload hour toll free
(00:02):
on numbers eight hundred and nine four one sean if
you want to be a part of the program. By
the way, President Trump now calling for the release of
the documents found inside the FBI Russia hoax burned bags
that we've been talking about today. We'll have full coverage
of all of this tonight on Hannity nine Eastern. I
want to go back to two issues from me yesterday.
(00:24):
I cannot believe the amount of conversation around the country
over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagles Jeans ad And you know
the interesting thing is, and I was kidding around with
Linda the other day, I go, you know you're getting
old when you see somebody in the newspaper every single day,
because I still get the even though I'm in Florida,
(00:45):
the hard copy of the New York Post every day,
because ever since I was a kid, and I was
eight years old, and I delivered the daily news. At
one point, I delivered the Long Island Press. At one
point I delivered newsday, and I always read the newspaper,
and the daily news was a morning paper, so I'd
get up early in the morning I'd read the paper,
I'd sit by the heater in the wintertime, I'd you know,
not want to go outside and deliver those papers. So
(01:06):
I would, I would, you know, procrastinate as long as
humanly possible. But I still if there's one paper I'm
going to read every single day, the hard copy, it's
always going to be The New York Post. I think
it's a nationwide paper. That's Miranda Divine's paper, for example.
And they have the best headlines, they have the best gossip,
they have great sports coverage, They've got news information, they
(01:29):
have national news, international news, they have local news if
you care about mom, Donnie and for example. Anyway, this
whole story of Sydney Sweeney has gone absolutely viral because
the Left has absolutely lost their.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Mind on this.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
The only thing I knew about Sydney Sweeney is for
months now, and I asked the call. I actually asked
my daughter at one point, what do you know about
this girl, Sydney Sweeney?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And she knew all about her.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm like, oh, because she's in the paper every day,
and I'm why was she a famous actress?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What is what is she best known for?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And because almost every day there'd be a picture, either
on page six or in the paper said, oh, okay,
so she does this American eagles genes AD and spell
it instead of spelling genes j e A n s,
they spell it ge n ees And here's the ad.
Jans are passed on from parents to offspring, often determining
(02:24):
traits like her color, personality, and even eye color.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
My jeans are blue, City Tweeny, Kasburg Keynes.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, Now, somehow the radical left has taking that he's
a young attractive woman, she's doing a gene ad. They
they do a take on the spelling of genes and
genes and somehow that evolves into eugenics and Nazi Germany.
Did that make sense to anybody? It doesn't make sense
to me anyway? Joining us now, Michael Knowle's host of
(02:54):
the Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
What's your take on this?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Great to be with you. The the biggest dirony of
the whole story, of course, is that the left's hero
was a valid eugenicist. So the left favorite nonprofit organization
Planned Parenthood, founded in the eugenics movement by an a
valid eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. But when Sidney Sweeney sells a
(03:18):
pair of genes that is eugenics, and eugenics is in
that case evil, So the whole thing is ridiculous, I
think to your point, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Don't even believe this has anything to do with eugenics.
It's just a take off on the fact that a
lot of people she's a very young woman to me,
but they find her to be a young attractive woman.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Am I wrong? Am I analysis of this?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
If we were not living in such a crazy time,
a beautiful young actress selling a pair of blue jeans
would not be a national news story for the better
part of a week.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's a sign of what a crazy time we're living
in that when you put a pretty girl out to
sell a product which is marketing one oh one, it
makes national headlines. Of course, the left is being completely
disingenuous here. I think the reason they really don't like
Sidney Sweeney is because she's not one of these Democrat
activist actresses who's showing up to all the Hillary Clinton,
(04:15):
Joe Biden, Bernie Sandrews fundraisers. She's just a pretty girl.
She's normal. She's the girl next door, as American as
apple Pie and I think that's what they hate about it.
They don't like beautiful stuff, and so a little bit
of a return to normal is too much for them.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And then they bring up the issue of race and
whiteness in America, and it's like the same old game.
There's a part of me that so far she's kept quiet.
So far America's responded, and American Eagle Jeans are sold
out everywhere. According to everything I'm reading, American Eagle Jeans
(04:51):
is doing better than they've ever done before. That tells me,
you go woke, you go broke. Hey, some point would
be bud Light. Dylan mulvaney didn't work out too well
for a bud Light. I think they've they slowly are
beginning to recover. I think they'd learned their lesson. I
think aligning with Dana White was a smart move. I
think Data opening the door for them was actually gracious
(05:14):
on his part. Certainly there's a financial incentive, but he
didn't have to do it. He could have had any
beer company he wanted. But he also looked at the
big picture and Anheuser. Bush has done a lot of
great work for veterans groups, just a lot of great
causes over the years, and are you going to judge
a company by one stupid incident, one decision made by
(05:34):
somebody in a PR department.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't think you should.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So that didn't work out too well, but I'm glad
to see American Eagle jeans apparently doing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Better than ever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
This is like the most successful ad campaign in modern history.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Look, the numbers don't lie. American Eagle and stock value
jumped ten percent in one day after that commercial aired.
I think they gained two hundred million dollars in market cap.
So yeah, the people don't buy what the left wing
pundits are spewing that a pretty girl selling blue is
the reinstantiation of Nazi Germany or something like that. It's
totally bizarre. And of course, even on this point of
(06:08):
whiteness and Nazism or whatever, does anyone think if Beyonce
went out and sold those genes and the ads that
Beyonce has good genes with the left bat and eyelash,
would they say this is eugenics, this is the second
coming of Adolf Hitler. I don't think so. It's so
weak and I just think people are tuning it out.
The left makes a lot of noise on the internet. Well,
look at the stock value of American Eagle. Look at
(06:30):
the election results last November. I think the people have
that enough.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, I think they've had enough to Let me go
to Chucky Schumer. You know, Chuck Schumer can't get out
of his own way. Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries to me,
and if you have a different opinion, let me know.
They're not really leaders of the Democratic Party. He's not
the Senate Minority leader. Hakeem Jeffries is not the House
Minority leader. They are both in a state of panic
(06:58):
and fear over the radicals that have now taken over
and now dominate their party. And in both cases, neither
one of them are willing to criticize. For example, New
York City mayoral candidate mam Donnie, you know, an avowed Marxist,
we call him affectionately Marxist Comrade Mamdani on this program.
But they won't speak out against them. They won't speak
(07:18):
out against AOC, they won't speak out against the Squad,
they won't speak out against virul and anti Semitism. They
would never take on Grandpa Bernie or Pocahontas or any
of these other people and you know Chuck Schumer, I
guess you know, if you can't beat him, join him.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He goes out the other day and he.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Uses the typical every two four year talking point, the
old playbook of the Democrats, which is Republicans don't want
people of color to vote.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Listen to what he said.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's been clear when we fight for democracy, when we
protect democracy, we got to fight fire with fire. We're
not going to stand idly by, as Maya said, We're
not going to let him revert to Jim Crone. If
you don't think they want to revert to Jim Crow,
just look what they did in the Save Act, which
went back.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
To the Kim Crow for the whole nation.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
But it shows why we need legislation because these guys
are undoing everything in every way they can. They don't
want poor people to vote, they don't want people of
color to vote, they don't want Democrats to vote. They
don't believe in democracy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Okay, that's the same every two years, every four years.
Republicans are racist, they're sexist, they're misogynists, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic.
They want dirty air and water, they want old people
to eat dog food and cat food until somebody that
looks like Trump puts them in a wheelchair and throws
them over a cliff. It didn't work in the last
(08:42):
election cycle. All of their lawfair, all of their weaponization
didn't work. And now what we're finding is the real
threat to democracy is what Democrats did to manufacture a
phony Russia collusion hoax, using and then denying them. They
used a bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier ironically
(09:05):
bought and paid for by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and then
of course fifty one former Intel agents lying in twenty
twenty after they pre bunked what had initially been authenticated
by the FBI in March at twenty twenty is a
very real laptop of hunter, and they use weaponization of
the Department of Justice law fair from twenty twenty to
(09:26):
twenty twenty four to bloody up Donald Trump so he'd
never run again.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Do I have it right or am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
It seems to me I've heard that song before, Sean
from an old familiar score. I mean, it's just the
same story over and over, and you get the same
talking points from guys like Chuck Schumer over and over.
But once again, I think to your earlier point. I
don't think the Democrats have their message down because they
keep contradicting each other. On the one hand, Chuck Schumer
says that anyone who opposes voter ID is pushing for
(09:56):
new Jim Crow laws because we don't want citizens of
color to vote. But then I see a clip going
around just a week ago from Yvette Clark, Democrat, also
from New York, saying verbatim that she needs more migrants
in her district, quote just for redistricting purposes, because congressional
(10:17):
allotment is based on population, not necessarily based on citizenship.
So she admits. She says, yeah, we want illegals to
flood into the country. Maybe some of them vote if
they don't have to show ID, but we need it
so that we can hold onto political power. If I
were Chuck Schumer, I'd say, Evett, you got to cut
it out enough of that you're undercutting my point, not
that anyone buys it. How many times are we going
(10:38):
to hear this Jim Crow talking point every time Chuck
Schumer says it. I think Trump is adding more black voters.
I think Trump is adding more Hispanic voters. You just
look at the returns from November that messaging is not working.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We'll continue more with Michael Knowles Michael Knowles Show at
the Daily Wire eight hundred and nine to four one
Shawn is a number.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We'll get to your calls.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Final half hour of the pro let me continue with
Michael Knowles's host of the Michael Knowles Show at the
Daily Wire. I mean, if you look at the Democratic
Party now, I mean we've been spending a lot of
time talking about the tens of millions of dollars that
they spent on how to communicate with men? And you know,
how do we communicate with men? Well, we're gonna start
(11:20):
cursing a lot more. Donald Trump is a son of
a bee, Gavin Newsom said, And and we're hey, Joe,
how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Joe? Did you see the Big Game last night? Want
to go get a bruski?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
How to seem how to appear to be more authentic? Okay,
if you have to try to appear to be authentic,
that means you are not to be more Trumpian without
being trump. I mean, none of this is real. The
one thing they can't do is run on what they
truly really believe the Green New Deal, woke ism. They
(11:56):
want to dictate what cars we've put in our driveway,
what's those we can use, air conditioners we can use,
refrigerator and freezers, what straws we can drink out of?
They want the Green New Deal, Cradle to gray, womb
to the tomb. That's what they really want to sell,
but they're afraid to now. The problem for them is
(12:18):
guys like mom Nanni are saying the quiet part out
loud now and it's kind of like they used to
hide it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Now they can't hide it anymore.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
They can, especially the Mamdani Riise, the AOC rise. All
of these these young Democrats are really repelling a lot
of voters. So you had this problem that you talked about,
which is okay. The Democrats lost a ton of young voters.
They also lost ground among Hispanics, black people, women. Forty
percent of women under the age of thirty voted for
Trump back in November. So they have this big problem
(12:48):
and they're trying to respond to it by changing superficial
aspects of their campaign. They're going to use some swear words,
or they're going to I don't know, they're gonna put
on a baseball cap or something. But that doesn't get
to the reason that people voted for Trump. The reason
these voters moved is because he spoke to their interests.
He said, hey, workers, I'm going to do something for you.
You really have been left behind. And guess what happens
(13:10):
because of those concrete policies, the teamsters shockingly don't endorse
the Democrats. In twenty twenty four, he says, hey, Hispanic people,
Hey black people, Hey women, you have been left behind
by Democrat policies. I'm going to give you concrete policies
that are going to be good for you and going
to be good for the common good of the United States.
So the Democrats took the total wrong lesson from Trump.
(13:31):
Trump has great style, and they're trying and failing to
emulate that style. But the reason Trump won with all
those groups is because he delivered the goods, and the
Democrats right now they don't even know what goods they
could even try to deliver.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's almost like they've been They've been hoping and dreaming
and praying for American failure, and Trump is just driving
them insane because his policies have been so successful and
he's been working at the speed of light.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I don't know how how they counter that.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I mean when you run on make America great again,
and the Democrats for decades have said America is not
going to be great, We're going to go into managed decline.
We were never that great, we were always kind of evil.
Give up your hopes of a better country. And Trump
comes along and he says, no, I'm going to make
it better. And then he really does, and he's successful
in his first term. He's so successful he gets elected
(14:21):
to a non consecutive second term only the second time
in American history. That is not only a rebuttal to
the Democrat policies, it's a rebuttal to their whole political argument,
which is why I think they're in such disarray. They
have absolutely no leadership. They don't have a bench for
the presidential in twenty twenty eight. And right now, you
go pull one hundred people on the street, who's the
leader of the Democrat Party in the Congress, in the government,
(14:44):
in media, wherever. I don't think you would get a
straight answer.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We appreciate your time, Congratulations on all your success. Michael
Knowles or The Michael Knowles Show with the Daily Wire.
We appreciate your time, shir Sean.
Speaker 4 (14:56):

Speaker 2 (16:50):
All right, big announcement? Did you hear the big announcement?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Linda Tamala Harris is writing a book about her failed
presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You know what was more interesting about that announcement? Wow,
she wrote it in crayon. This is a very special woman,
very special.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, this is going to be an enlightening book. You're wrong.
You're taking the wrong attitude about this. You're wrong me.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
In the community. We can't wait to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No, because she's going to explain how ninety percent favorable
media coverage and two billion dollars in campaign cash still
was not enough to even bring her close to the
finish line and winning the presidency. But she's going to
publish this memoir in the fall. She announced yesterday she's
not running for governor of California. Charlemagne the God is
(17:40):
hyping Kamala's book, but warning about a second presidential run.
I'm like, good luck with that. I'm not sure democrats
are Democrats in California didn't even want to want her
to run at all. Here's Kamala announcing her new book,
covering one hundred and seven days of her presidential campaign.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Just over a year ago. I launched my campig for
President of the United States. One hundred and seven days
traveling the country, fighting for our future. The shortest presidential
campaign in modern history. It was intense, high stakes, and
deeply personal for me and for so many of you.
(18:18):
Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting
on those days, talking with my team, my family, my friends,
and pulling my thoughts together, in essence, writing a journal.
That is this book, One hundred and seven Days with
candor and reflection, I've written a behind the scenes account
(18:39):
of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what
I saw, what I learned, and what I know it
will take to move forward.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh my gosh, it's insufferable. I can't I honestly can't
take it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
If that's their campaign, if that's the person they want,
then I'm all for let her run. The President has
weighed in on our top story today when I asked
about the trove of burn bags containing this information about
the Trump Russia probe found by the FBI Director Cash Pattel.
I want everything to be shown as long as it's
fair and reasonable. I think it will be shown and
(19:17):
it should be shown. And I think Cash Battel feels
the same way, and I think Attorney General Pam Bondi
feels the same way. But it's got to be stuff
that really doesn't hurt people unfairly because you have so
many people involved. If they can do that in a
fair way, I think it's great, which, by the way,
is the responsible way to do it. But we now,
you know, we get another jolt of declassified information, and
(19:39):
this one going back as far as the summer of
twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton approving an operation to manufacture this
fake Russian scandal, Russia, Russia, Russia, all in an effort
designed to harm Donald Trump, and the FBI would fully
participate in the plan. This is now Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has spent years fighting to declassify
(20:03):
the intelligence gathered from a foreign enemy and delivered to
Obama it now has released this information which we've been
going through for a better part of the day today.
I hope people understand the severity of all of this.
I hope people understand this because this is the biggest
political scandal in our lifetime. Because you do understand now,
(20:26):
and the headline on foxnews dot Com is and John Solomon, me,
Greg jareded all of us have been all over the story.
But you know, between Director Cia, Director Ratcliffe and FBI
Director Cash Bettel, Attorney General Pam Bondi. You know, they're
now coordinating the declassification and the annex. And then you've
got the smoking gun email and this appendix that was
(20:52):
in the Durham Report that had never been made public,
and the appendix reveals foreign sources allegedly tied to George
Soros's Open Society Foundations. According to foxnews dot Com, the
appendix saying that the Russian government actors in twenty sixteen
hacked emails from the Open Society Foundation formerly known as
(21:14):
the Soros Foundation, and two of the apparently hacked emails
have appear who appear to have originated from that foundation.
The appendix states, noting that the purported author of these
emails was this guy, Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional
director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations. And during
(21:38):
the first stage of the campaign, due to a lack
of direct evidence, it decided to disseminate the necessary information
through the FBI affiliated technical structures, in particular CrowdStrike and
Threat Connect companies, from which the information would be disseminated
through leading US publications. Now, this is where it gets interesting,
(21:58):
and this is where the index says the media analysis
of the DNC hacking appears to be solid according to
this report, but another email from this guy Bernardo, again
from the same article, says, HRC that would be Hillary Rodham.
Clinton approved Julie's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering
(22:22):
US elections. This should distract people from her own missing email,
especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level, he continued,
per the annex quote, the point is making the Russia
play a US domestic issue, say something like a critical
infrastructure threat, for the election to feel manic, since both
(22:44):
the potus and vice Potus have acknowledged the fact that
the IC would speed up Independent Council searching for evidence
that is regrettably still unavailable Crossfire Hurricane. The FBI's investigation
to Russia Russia Russia was opened several days later. The
(23:05):
appendix reveals Durham's team interviewed numerous FBI personnel involved in
the Crossfire Hurricane probe, and Durham said those he interviewed
believed that the Bernardo emails are likely to be authentic.
The appendix states that Hillary's campaign may have wanted or
expected the FBI or other agencies to aid that effort,
(23:26):
to quote, put more oil into the fire by commencing
a formal investigation of the DNC hack and the communications.
The Durham team reviewed additionally supported that the Clinton campaign
had been engaged in a plan to tie Trump to Russia,
and the campaign wanted or expected the Office of the
Vice President, the FBI, other parts of the intelligence community,
(23:48):
such as the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research,
to aid in this effort. The office's best assessment is
that the emails that purport to be from this guy
Bernardo were ultimately a composite of several emails obtained through
Russian intelligence hacking of the US based think tank including
Open Society's Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment, and many many others.
(24:11):
According to the dorm annex, it's a logical deduction redacted
that this person, at a minimum, was playing a role
in the Clinton campaign efforts to tie Trump to Russia. Now,
put that together with what Tulsei Gabbett is released, what
do we learn that career senior intelligence officials did their
(24:31):
post twenty sixteen assessment on the issue of Trump and
Russia and determined there was no evidence at all whatsoever.
Then it was according to the declassified documents, then it
was Obama's decision. With the help of all these people
like Clapper and Brennan and Biden and Susan Rice and others,
(24:52):
they came up with another intelligence assessment that directly contradicted
what senior rank and file career intelligence officers had and
they used the dirty Russian disinformation dossier that was debunked
by this point in December of twenty twenty as the basis,
even though Brennan went on went under oath and directly
(25:13):
lied and said they didn't use it. There's a lot
of unanswered questions here. Anyway, Let's go to Gene and Tennessee. Hey, Geen,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
How you doing? I just want to mention that, you know,
they impeached Trump after he left office. I fear they
set the precedents. Why don't we impeach Obama? They did it,
So let's let's say what's good for the goose, good
for the gandor let's go for it.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I could absolutely see this happening. I am telling you
every person that we have mentioned, they're all scared to death.
A burn bag is supposed to be burned. They didn't
burn it. Somebody screwed up big time. That's resulting in
this smoking gun email, which is just frankly the final
(26:01):
nail on the coffin as far as I'm concerned. And
now it's a matter of what did they know, when
did they know it? And getting to the bottom of
all of it, and what you have is exactly what
I've been describing now for years, a concerted effort to
put cinderblocks on the scale of an election, sabotage Trump's
(26:21):
presidency in his first term, certainly help Joe Biden in
twenty twenty, and then use and that's what the fifty
one former Intel officials that knew nothing about the very real,
authenticated laptop from hell of Hunter Biden and then weaponization
of the DOJ and lawfair from twenty twenty to twenty
(26:42):
twenty four to bloody Trump up so he couldn't be
a viable candidate. That's what's gone on the last three
presidential election cycles.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
It's a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call. Let us say hi
to Thomas and Iowa Thomas High. How are you glad
you called?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Oh? How you doing sean longtime listener, and thank you
first time caller. I watched you back whenever you and
uh Combs was on TV, and that years and years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So thank you very much. God God rest us so Aul.
He's a good guy.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, yeah he was. What is calling for, Natt? I
keep hearing you and Linda kind of go back and
forth about you running for president and everything.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, this is Linda going back and forth. Linda is
the one that started it. Linda is the one that
keeps it alive. Well, and Linda's responsible for all of it.
I take no blame at all whatsoever for this.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Well. I think you would make a good president, and
I think Ted Cruz or even Don Jr. Would be
a good VP. I really do you got? You got
constitutionalists and Ted Cruz. You've got Don Junior. He's got
business head, You've got a business on your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Think you guys could do a good job running this country.
And if you ever did decide to run, you got
my vote.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I listen you. I'm I'm actually surprised people keep bringing
this up. I'm very flattered. I've never felt the calling
to run at all. If that does change, I'll let
you know. But I would imagine if I had any
desire to run, because I'm so interested in politics, I
(28:31):
probably would have followed that path. By now, I've always
believed that I probably couldn't get elected dog catcher. Maybe
in Florida I could get elected dog catcher.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I don't know. Do they have dog catchers anymore? I'm
not sure.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I like to call them pets and owners. But sure
you can be a dog catcher, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
No, but remember the in the old days, they had
the if a stray dog or a stray animal is
out and.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
A bat, you could have animal control is what they
call it?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Animal control?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh okay, I had to get the new Sydney Sweeney version,
the correct version.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I think it's all horrible if I had in my
way to have a farm with a bunch of dogs
on it. But that's another show anyways.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh, you're not a good pet owner.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Why am I not a pet owner? I'm an amazing
pet owner. My animals love me.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Oh they do. But what happened to the cat you
had that wore?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Wait, my god, you're that cat weighed more than four
other cats combined.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You love that cat so much? You over fed it
and risk risk the cat, risk dying. You had to
send the cat away.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
There was just more of her to love, and I
loved every piece of her.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Okay, And why did you have to send her away?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Because somebody wanted her? They were going through a tough time?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Not true? Fake news.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Don't you have like a spot or something to do here?
Do you have something to say?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I think fake?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I know.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I mean you sent her away because she was in
such poor health, because she was four times her normal
healthy weight.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
She did go to an area where she could run
a little bit more, that is true, But she also
went to that place with someone who was going through
a tough time.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's that's a new part of the story that I'd
never heard until today.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Well, you know, that's why we stick to the story, Sean.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You never know what the cat A way to save
the cat's life because it was four cats in one
because you overfed it.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And you call that love. I call that something different.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
We can't all have Sidney Sweeney jeans. All right, Sean,
y'are welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Right, that's what it wrap things up for today. What
is the biggest political scandal in the history of the country.
According to Senator Chuck Grassley, we'll get into the dramatics,
what it reveals and the smoking gun evidence about Hillary
Clinton's approval and who else was involved, who knew what
and when? Lindsey Graham, John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, Jonathan Turley,
(30:45):
also Charlie Kirk, Joe Consha Memet, OZ nine, Eastern Say, DVR,
Hannity tonight on Fox. We'll see you then back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
All right, News Round of Information overload hour toll free
(00:02):
on numbers eight hundred and nine four one sean if
you want to be a part of the program. By
the way, President Trump now calling for the release of
the documents found inside the FBI Russia hoax burned bags
that we've been talking about today. We'll have full coverage
of all of this tonight on Hannity nine Eastern. I
want to go back to two issues from me yesterday.
(00:24):
I cannot believe the amount of conversation around the country
over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagles Jeans ad And you know
the interesting thing is, and I was kidding around with
Linda the other day, I go, you know you're getting
old when you see somebody in the newspaper every single day,
because I still get the even though I'm in Florida,
(00:45):
the hard copy of the New York Post every day,
because ever since I was a kid, and I was
eight years old, and I delivered the daily news. At
one point, I delivered the Long Island Press. At one
point I delivered newsday, and I always read the newspaper,
and the daily news was a morning paper, so I'd
get up early in the morning I'd read the paper,
I'd sit by the heater in the wintertime, I'd you know,
not want to go outside and deliver those papers. So
(01:06):
I would, I would, you know, procrastinate as long as
humanly possible. But I still if there's one paper I'm
going to read every single day, the hard copy, it's
always going to be The New York Post. I think
it's a nationwide paper. That's Miranda Divine's paper, for example.
And they have the best headlines, they have the best gossip,
they have great sports coverage, They've got news information, they
(01:29):
have national news, international news, they have local news if
you care about mom, Donnie and for example. Anyway, this
whole story of Sydney Sweeney has gone absolutely viral because
the Left has absolutely lost their.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Mind on this.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
The only thing I knew about Sydney Sweeney is for
months now, and I asked the call. I actually asked
my daughter at one point, what do you know about
this girl, Sydney Sweeney?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And she knew all about her.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm like, oh, because she's in the paper every day,
and I'm why was she a famous actress?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
What is what is she best known for?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And because almost every day there'd be a picture, either
on page six or in the paper said, oh, okay,
so she does this American eagles genes AD and spell
it instead of spelling genes j e A n s,
they spell it ge n ees And here's the ad.
Jans are passed on from parents to offspring, often determining
(02:24):
traits like her color, personality, and even eye color.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
My jeans are blue, City Tweeny, Kasburg Keynes.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, Now, somehow the radical left has taking that he's
a young attractive woman, she's doing a gene ad. They
they do a take on the spelling of genes and
genes and somehow that evolves into eugenics and Nazi Germany.
Did that make sense to anybody? It doesn't make sense
to me anyway? Joining us now, Michael Knowle's host of
(02:54):
the Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
What's your take on this?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Great to be with you. The the biggest dirony of
the whole story, of course, is that the left's hero
was a valid eugenicist. So the left favorite nonprofit organization
Planned Parenthood, founded in the eugenics movement by an a
valid eugenicist, Margaret Sanger. But when Sidney Sweeney sells a
(03:18):
pair of genes that is eugenics, and eugenics is in
that case evil, So the whole thing is ridiculous, I
think to your point, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Don't even believe this has anything to do with eugenics.
It's just a take off on the fact that a
lot of people she's a very young woman to me,
but they find her to be a young attractive woman.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Am I wrong? Am I analysis of this?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Sean?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
If we were not living in such a crazy time,
a beautiful young actress selling a pair of blue jeans
would not be a national news story for the better
part of a week.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's a sign of what a crazy time we're living
in that when you put a pretty girl out to
sell a product which is marketing one oh one, it
makes national headlines. Of course, the left is being completely
disingenuous here. I think the reason they really don't like
Sidney Sweeney is because she's not one of these Democrat
activist actresses who's showing up to all the Hillary Clinton,
(04:15):
Joe Biden, Bernie Sandrews fundraisers. She's just a pretty girl.
She's normal. She's the girl next door, as American as
apple Pie and I think that's what they hate about it.
They don't like beautiful stuff, and so a little bit
of a return to normal is too much for them.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And then they bring up the issue of race and
whiteness in America, and it's like the same old game.
There's a part of me that so far she's kept quiet.
So far America's responded, and American Eagle Jeans are sold
out everywhere. According to everything I'm reading, American Eagle Jeans
(04:51):
is doing better than they've ever done before. That tells me,
you go woke, you go broke. Hey, some point would
be bud Light. Dylan mulvaney didn't work out too well
for a bud Light. I think they've they slowly are
beginning to recover. I think they'd learned their lesson. I
think aligning with Dana White was a smart move. I
think Data opening the door for them was actually gracious
(05:14):
on his part. Certainly there's a financial incentive, but he
didn't have to do it. He could have had any
beer company he wanted. But he also looked at the
big picture and Anheuser. Bush has done a lot of
great work for veterans groups, just a lot of great
causes over the years, and are you going to judge
a company by one stupid incident, one decision made by
(05:34):
somebody in a PR department.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't think you should.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So that didn't work out too well, but I'm glad
to see American Eagle jeans apparently doing.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Better than ever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
This is like the most successful ad campaign in modern history.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Look, the numbers don't lie. American Eagle and stock value
jumped ten percent in one day after that commercial aired.
I think they gained two hundred million dollars in market cap.
So yeah, the people don't buy what the left wing
pundits are spewing that a pretty girl selling blue is
the reinstantiation of Nazi Germany or something like that. It's
totally bizarre. And of course, even on this point of
(06:08):
whiteness and Nazism or whatever, does anyone think if Beyonce
went out and sold those genes and the ads that
Beyonce has good genes with the left bat and eyelash,
would they say this is eugenics, this is the second
coming of Adolf Hitler. I don't think so. It's so
weak and I just think people are tuning it out.
The left makes a lot of noise on the internet. Well,
look at the stock value of American Eagle. Look at
(06:30):
the election results last November. I think the people have
that enough.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, I think they've had enough to Let me go
to Chucky Schumer. You know, Chuck Schumer can't get out
of his own way. Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries to me,
and if you have a different opinion, let me know.
They're not really leaders of the Democratic Party. He's not
the Senate Minority leader. Hakeem Jeffries is not the House
Minority leader. They are both in a state of panic
(06:58):
and fear over the radicals that have now taken over
and now dominate their party. And in both cases, neither
one of them are willing to criticize. For example, New
York City mayoral candidate mam Donnie, you know, an avowed Marxist,
we call him affectionately Marxist Comrade Mamdani on this program.
But they won't speak out against them. They won't speak
(07:18):
out against AOC, they won't speak out against the Squad,
they won't speak out against virul and anti Semitism. They
would never take on Grandpa Bernie or Pocahontas or any
of these other people and you know Chuck Schumer, I
guess you know, if you can't beat him, join him.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He goes out the other day and he.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Uses the typical every two four year talking point, the
old playbook of the Democrats, which is Republicans don't want
people of color to vote.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Listen to what he said.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
It's been clear when we fight for democracy, when we
protect democracy, we got to fight fire with fire. We're
not going to stand idly by, as Maya said, We're
not going to let him revert to Jim Crone. If
you don't think they want to revert to Jim Crow,
just look what they did in the Save Act, which
went back.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
To the Kim Crow for the whole nation.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
But it shows why we need legislation because these guys
are undoing everything in every way they can. They don't
want poor people to vote, they don't want people of
color to vote, they don't want Democrats to vote. They
don't believe in democracy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Okay, that's the same every two years, every four years.
Republicans are racist, they're sexist, they're misogynists, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic.
They want dirty air and water, they want old people
to eat dog food and cat food until somebody that
looks like Trump puts them in a wheelchair and throws
them over a cliff. It didn't work in the last
(08:42):
election cycle. All of their lawfair, all of their weaponization
didn't work. And now what we're finding is the real
threat to democracy is what Democrats did to manufacture a
phony Russia collusion hoax, using and then denying them. They
used a bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier ironically
(09:05):
bought and paid for by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and then
of course fifty one former Intel agents lying in twenty
twenty after they pre bunked what had initially been authenticated
by the FBI in March at twenty twenty is a
very real laptop of hunter, and they use weaponization of
the Department of Justice law fair from twenty twenty to
(09:26):
twenty twenty four to bloody up Donald Trump so he'd
never run again.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Do I have it right or am I wrong?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
It seems to me I've heard that song before, Sean
from an old familiar score. I mean, it's just the
same story over and over, and you get the same
talking points from guys like Chuck Schumer over and over.
But once again, I think to your earlier point. I
don't think the Democrats have their message down because they
keep contradicting each other. On the one hand, Chuck Schumer
says that anyone who opposes voter ID is pushing for
(09:56):
new Jim Crow laws because we don't want citizens of
color to vote. But then I see a clip going
around just a week ago from Yvette Clark, Democrat, also
from New York, saying verbatim that she needs more migrants
in her district, quote just for redistricting purposes, because congressional
(10:17):
allotment is based on population, not necessarily based on citizenship.
So she admits. She says, yeah, we want illegals to
flood into the country. Maybe some of them vote if
they don't have to show ID, but we need it
so that we can hold onto political power. If I
were Chuck Schumer, I'd say, Evett, you got to cut
it out enough of that you're undercutting my point, not
that anyone buys it. How many times are we going
(10:38):
to hear this Jim Crow talking point every time Chuck
Schumer says it. I think Trump is adding more black voters.
I think Trump is adding more Hispanic voters. You just
look at the returns from November that messaging is not working.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We'll continue more with Michael Knowles Michael Knowles Show at
the Daily Wire eight hundred and nine to four one
Shawn is a number.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We'll get to your calls.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Final half hour of the pro let me continue with
Michael Knowles's host of the Michael Knowles Show at the
Daily Wire. I mean, if you look at the Democratic
Party now, I mean we've been spending a lot of
time talking about the tens of millions of dollars that
they spent on how to communicate with men? And you know,
how do we communicate with men? Well, we're gonna start
(11:20):
cursing a lot more. Donald Trump is a son of
a bee, Gavin Newsom said, And and we're hey, Joe,
how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Joe? Did you see the Big Game last night? Want
to go get a bruski?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
How to seem how to appear to be more authentic? Okay,
if you have to try to appear to be authentic,
that means you are not to be more Trumpian without
being trump. I mean, none of this is real. The
one thing they can't do is run on what they
truly really believe the Green New Deal, woke ism. They
(11:56):
want to dictate what cars we've put in our driveway,
what's those we can use, air conditioners we can use,
refrigerator and freezers, what straws we can drink out of?
They want the Green New Deal, Cradle to gray, womb
to the tomb. That's what they really want to sell,
but they're afraid to now. The problem for them is
(12:18):
guys like mom Nanni are saying the quiet part out
loud now and it's kind of like they used to
hide it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Now they can't hide it anymore.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
They can, especially the Mamdani Riise, the AOC rise. All
of these these young Democrats are really repelling a lot
of voters. So you had this problem that you talked about,
which is okay. The Democrats lost a ton of young voters.
They also lost ground among Hispanics, black people, women. Forty
percent of women under the age of thirty voted for
Trump back in November. So they have this big problem
(12:48):
and they're trying to respond to it by changing superficial
aspects of their campaign. They're going to use some swear words,
or they're going to I don't know, they're gonna put
on a baseball cap or something. But that doesn't get
to the reason that people voted for Trump. The reason
these voters moved is because he spoke to their interests.
He said, hey, workers, I'm going to do something for you.
You really have been left behind. And guess what happens
(13:10):
because of those concrete policies, the teamsters shockingly don't endorse
the Democrats. In twenty twenty four, he says, hey, Hispanic people,
Hey black people, Hey women, you have been left behind
by Democrat policies. I'm going to give you concrete policies
that are going to be good for you and going
to be good for the common good of the United States.
So the Democrats took the total wrong lesson from Trump.
(13:31):
Trump has great style, and they're trying and failing to
emulate that style. But the reason Trump won with all
those groups is because he delivered the goods, and the
Democrats right now they don't even know what goods they
could even try to deliver.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's almost like they've been They've been hoping and dreaming
and praying for American failure, and Trump is just driving
them insane because his policies have been so successful and
he's been working at the speed of light.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I don't know how how they counter that.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I mean when you run on make America great again,
and the Democrats for decades have said America is not
going to be great, We're going to go into managed decline.
We were never that great, we were always kind of evil.
Give up your hopes of a better country. And Trump
comes along and he says, no, I'm going to make
it better. And then he really does, and he's successful
in his first term. He's so successful he gets elected
(14:21):
to a non consecutive second term only the second time
in American history. That is not only a rebuttal to
the Democrat policies, it's a rebuttal to their whole political argument,
which is why I think they're in such disarray. They
have absolutely no leadership. They don't have a bench for
the presidential in twenty twenty eight. And right now, you
go pull one hundred people on the street, who's the
leader of the Democrat Party in the Congress, in the government,
(14:44):
in media, wherever. I don't think you would get a
straight answer.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We appreciate your time, Congratulations on all your success. Michael
Knowles or The Michael Knowles Show with the Daily Wire.
We appreciate your time, shir Sean.
Speaker 4 (14:56):

Speaker 2 (16:50):
All right, big announcement? Did you hear the big announcement?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Linda Tamala Harris is writing a book about her failed
presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
You know what was more interesting about that announcement? Wow,
she wrote it in crayon. This is a very special woman,
very special.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, this is going to be an enlightening book. You're wrong.
You're taking the wrong attitude about this. You're wrong me.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
In the community. We can't wait to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No, because she's going to explain how ninety percent favorable
media coverage and two billion dollars in campaign cash still
was not enough to even bring her close to the
finish line and winning the presidency. But she's going to
publish this memoir in the fall. She announced yesterday she's
not running for governor of California. Charlemagne the God is
(17:40):
hyping Kamala's book, but warning about a second presidential run.
I'm like, good luck with that. I'm not sure democrats
are Democrats in California didn't even want to want her
to run at all. Here's Kamala announcing her new book,
covering one hundred and seven days of her presidential campaign.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Just over a year ago. I launched my campig for
President of the United States. One hundred and seven days
traveling the country, fighting for our future. The shortest presidential
campaign in modern history. It was intense, high stakes, and
deeply personal for me and for so many of you.
(18:18):
Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting
on those days, talking with my team, my family, my friends,
and pulling my thoughts together, in essence, writing a journal.
That is this book, One hundred and seven Days with
candor and reflection, I've written a behind the scenes account
(18:39):
of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what
I saw, what I learned, and what I know it
will take to move forward.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh my gosh, it's insufferable. I can't I honestly can't
take it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
If that's their campaign, if that's the person they want,
then I'm all for let her run. The President has
weighed in on our top story today when I asked
about the trove of burn bags containing this information about
the Trump Russia probe found by the FBI Director Cash Pattel.
I want everything to be shown as long as it's
fair and reasonable. I think it will be shown and
(19:17):
it should be shown. And I think Cash Battel feels
the same way, and I think Attorney General Pam Bondi
feels the same way. But it's got to be stuff
that really doesn't hurt people unfairly because you have so
many people involved. If they can do that in a
fair way, I think it's great, which, by the way,
is the responsible way to do it. But we now,
you know, we get another jolt of declassified information, and
(19:39):
this one going back as far as the summer of
twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton approving an operation to manufacture this
fake Russian scandal, Russia, Russia, Russia, all in an effort
designed to harm Donald Trump, and the FBI would fully
participate in the plan. This is now Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has spent years fighting to declassify
(20:03):
the intelligence gathered from a foreign enemy and delivered to
Obama it now has released this information which we've been
going through for a better part of the day today.
I hope people understand the severity of all of this.
I hope people understand this because this is the biggest
political scandal in our lifetime. Because you do understand now,
(20:26):
and the headline on foxnews dot Com is and John Solomon, me,
Greg jareded all of us have been all over the story.
But you know, between Director Cia, Director Ratcliffe and FBI
Director Cash Bettel, Attorney General Pam Bondi. You know, they're
now coordinating the declassification and the annex. And then you've
got the smoking gun email and this appendix that was
(20:52):
in the Durham Report that had never been made public,
and the appendix reveals foreign sources allegedly tied to George
Soros's Open Society Foundations. According to foxnews dot Com, the
appendix saying that the Russian government actors in twenty sixteen
hacked emails from the Open Society Foundation formerly known as
(21:14):
the Soros Foundation, and two of the apparently hacked emails
have appear who appear to have originated from that foundation.
The appendix states, noting that the purported author of these
emails was this guy, Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional
director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations. And during
(21:38):
the first stage of the campaign, due to a lack
of direct evidence, it decided to disseminate the necessary information
through the FBI affiliated technical structures, in particular CrowdStrike and
Threat Connect companies, from which the information would be disseminated
through leading US publications. Now, this is where it gets interesting,
(21:58):
and this is where the index says the media analysis
of the DNC hacking appears to be solid according to
this report, but another email from this guy Bernardo, again
from the same article, says, HRC that would be Hillary Rodham.
Clinton approved Julie's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering
(22:22):
US elections. This should distract people from her own missing email,
especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level, he continued,
per the annex quote, the point is making the Russia
play a US domestic issue, say something like a critical
infrastructure threat, for the election to feel manic, since both
(22:44):
the potus and vice Potus have acknowledged the fact that
the IC would speed up Independent Council searching for evidence
that is regrettably still unavailable Crossfire Hurricane. The FBI's investigation
to Russia Russia Russia was opened several days later. The
(23:05):
appendix reveals Durham's team interviewed numerous FBI personnel involved in
the Crossfire Hurricane probe, and Durham said those he interviewed
believed that the Bernardo emails are likely to be authentic.
The appendix states that Hillary's campaign may have wanted or
expected the FBI or other agencies to aid that effort,
(23:26):
to quote, put more oil into the fire by commencing
a formal investigation of the DNC hack and the communications.
The Durham team reviewed additionally supported that the Clinton campaign
had been engaged in a plan to tie Trump to Russia,
and the campaign wanted or expected the Office of the
Vice President, the FBI, other parts of the intelligence community,
(23:48):
such as the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research,
to aid in this effort. The office's best assessment is
that the emails that purport to be from this guy
Bernardo were ultimately a composite of several emails obtained through
Russian intelligence hacking of the US based think tank including
Open Society's Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment, and many many others.
(24:11):
According to the dorm annex, it's a logical deduction redacted
that this person, at a minimum, was playing a role
in the Clinton campaign efforts to tie Trump to Russia. Now,
put that together with what Tulsei Gabbett is released, what
do we learn that career senior intelligence officials did their
(24:31):
post twenty sixteen assessment on the issue of Trump and
Russia and determined there was no evidence at all whatsoever.
Then it was according to the declassified documents, then it
was Obama's decision. With the help of all these people
like Clapper and Brennan and Biden and Susan Rice and others,
(24:52):
they came up with another intelligence assessment that directly contradicted
what senior rank and file career intelligence officers had and
they used the dirty Russian disinformation dossier that was debunked
by this point in December of twenty twenty as the basis,
even though Brennan went on went under oath and directly
(25:13):
lied and said they didn't use it. There's a lot
of unanswered questions here. Anyway, Let's go to Gene and Tennessee. Hey, Geen,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
How you doing? I just want to mention that, you know,
they impeached Trump after he left office. I fear they
set the precedents. Why don't we impeach Obama? They did it,
So let's let's say what's good for the goose, good
for the gandor let's go for it.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I could absolutely see this happening. I am telling you
every person that we have mentioned, they're all scared to death.
A burn bag is supposed to be burned. They didn't
burn it. Somebody screwed up big time. That's resulting in
this smoking gun email, which is just frankly the final
(26:01):
nail on the coffin as far as I'm concerned. And
now it's a matter of what did they know, when
did they know it? And getting to the bottom of
all of it, and what you have is exactly what
I've been describing now for years, a concerted effort to
put cinderblocks on the scale of an election, sabotage Trump's
(26:21):
presidency in his first term, certainly help Joe Biden in
twenty twenty, and then use and that's what the fifty
one former Intel officials that knew nothing about the very real,
authenticated laptop from hell of Hunter Biden and then weaponization
of the DOJ and lawfair from twenty twenty to twenty
(26:42):
twenty four to bloody Trump up so he couldn't be
a viable candidate. That's what's gone on the last three
presidential election cycles.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
It's a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call. Let us say hi
to Thomas and Iowa Thomas High. How are you glad
you called?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Oh? How you doing sean longtime listener, and thank you
first time caller. I watched you back whenever you and
uh Combs was on TV, and that years and years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So thank you very much. God God rest us so Aul.
He's a good guy.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, yeah he was. What is calling for, Natt? I
keep hearing you and Linda kind of go back and
forth about you running for president and everything.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, this is Linda going back and forth. Linda is
the one that started it. Linda is the one that
keeps it alive. Well, and Linda's responsible for all of it.
I take no blame at all whatsoever for this.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Well. I think you would make a good president, and
I think Ted Cruz or even Don Jr. Would be
a good VP. I really do you got? You got
constitutionalists and Ted Cruz. You've got Don Junior. He's got
business head, You've got a business on your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Think you guys could do a good job running this country.
And if you ever did decide to run, you got
my vote.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I listen you. I'm I'm actually surprised people keep bringing
this up. I'm very flattered. I've never felt the calling
to run at all. If that does change, I'll let
you know. But I would imagine if I had any
desire to run, because I'm so interested in politics, I
(28:31):
probably would have followed that path. By now, I've always
believed that I probably couldn't get elected dog catcher. Maybe
in Florida I could get elected dog catcher.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I don't know. Do they have dog catchers anymore? I'm
not sure.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I like to call them pets and owners. But sure
you can be a dog catcher, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
No, but remember the in the old days, they had
the if a stray dog or a stray animal is
out and.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
A bat, you could have animal control is what they
call it?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Animal control?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh okay, I had to get the new Sydney Sweeney version,
the correct version.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I think it's all horrible if I had in my
way to have a farm with a bunch of dogs
on it. But that's another show anyways.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh, you're not a good pet owner.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Why am I not a pet owner? I'm an amazing
pet owner. My animals love me.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Oh they do. But what happened to the cat you
had that wore?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Wait, my god, you're that cat weighed more than four
other cats combined.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You love that cat so much? You over fed it
and risk risk the cat, risk dying. You had to
send the cat away.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
There was just more of her to love, and I
loved every piece of her.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Okay, And why did you have to send her away?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Because somebody wanted her? They were going through a tough time?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Not true? Fake news.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Don't you have like a spot or something to do here?
Do you have something to say?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I think fake?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I know.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I mean you sent her away because she was in
such poor health, because she was four times her normal
healthy weight.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
She did go to an area where she could run
a little bit more, that is true, But she also
went to that place with someone who was going through
a tough time.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's that's a new part of the story that I'd
never heard until today.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Well, you know, that's why we stick to the story, Sean.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You never know what the cat A way to save
the cat's life because it was four cats in one
because you overfed it.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
And you call that love. I call that something different.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
We can't all have Sidney Sweeney jeans. All right, Sean,
y'are welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Right, that's what it wrap things up for today. What
