Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome aboard. Thanks for being with us. Eight hundred
and nine four one Sean you want to be a
part of this extravaganza, all right, Well this is our
last day. We're gonna take a long weekend like many
of you, I'm sure are. And I look. The only
thing I ask what's special about I guess this Memorial
Day is that things are getting back to normal for

(00:22):
most people. If you're in certain states, oh, you know,
you elected the wrong politicians whatever, And I just it's
like you, the things in life that you don't always
stop ponder, wonder about, or appreciate or take for granted.
You know, you don't wake up every morning and say, ah,
I live in freedom, the greatest country God gave Man.

(00:43):
Let me shovel coffee down my throat quick, and let
me make the kids lunch, and let me go put
in my fifteen hour work day, and then come home
and cook dinner and do the homework, or order pizza
if I'm lucky. But when you think about it, we
do live in the greatest country God gave Man, And
this Memorial Day you think of just even if it's

(01:06):
five minutes, ponder all the people who knowingly willingly put
themselves in harm's way, the ultimate sacrifice. And I would
add also to don't forget those that have been taken
on severe injuries for the rest of their lives, and
the impact of families losing loved ones and living with

(01:27):
loved ones that have terrible challenges that you can't even
imagine as a result of conflict and war and the
battle and the struggle against evil to preserve our way
of life. And you just think about it, and it's
amazing these people that have done so much so that
we could live so free and not have to wake

(01:49):
up every day and worry about those things. And we
get to go about our pursuit of happiness and raise
our families and drink beer and suck down some tea
and eat steak and fish and barbecue and whatever you like.
And you know, but a lot of people sacrifice to
make that happen. There's a Bible verse from the Book

(02:12):
of John. Greater love has no one than this, To
lay down one's life for one's friends. It's pretty profound.
The people that have laid down their lives for us,
we honor them always. Eight hundred nine for one Sean

(02:34):
is our number. You know Carville. I know James Carvill.
I've known James Carville for years. I'm even going to
admit I like James Carville. James Carville is a fun
guy to be around. And you're saying, Hannity, what's happened
to you? It's an invasion of the body snatches. I
even tell jokes on stage James Carville. I'm debating him
once and I found I'm losing the debate. And why

(02:57):
am I losing the debate? Because my mind is distracted?
Did because I'm staring at James Carville and I'm thinking
two things. One what the hell was Mary Matlin thinking?
And two, man, there must really be life on other planets. Kidding,
that's the joke I use. But yeah, you hang out
with the guy. He's a great guy, but he's not dumb.

(03:17):
Let me be very clear about this. Now, Clinton forget
about his politics. He was very, very shrewd political operation.
And they had their morning calls with like Podesta and
Carvill and ram Rambo, Deadfish and Georgie Stephanopolis, and every

(03:37):
day was well, what's the message of the day, how
do we stay on message? What ought we be talking
about today? And it was very discipline, and Carville was
a big part of the Clinton success. Anyway, he said
something that really struck me, calling out the Democrats for
exhibiting what he called metropolitan arrogance and urban mugnus that

(04:01):
he said was detrimental to democratic efforts. He's not wrong,
David Axelrod said, Democrats have won seven out of eight
national elections popular vote, but that's not how we elect presidents.
Every state has two senators, and we become more and
more of a metropolitan party, and we write off large
segments of the country. Donald Trump won eighty percent of

(04:22):
the counties in this country. I mean, this is the
great divide. I mean the Democratic Party has become the
party of coastal elites Donald Trump. If you take the
pandemic out of the equation, which you obviously can't, but
you look at the first three years there was we

(04:44):
were in the middle. I believe of a dramatic demographic
transformational shift in this country because Donald Trump by lowering taxes,
controlling our borders and and illegal immigrants, stopping illegal immigration,
and Donald Trump incentivizing investment and manufacturing by getting rid

(05:09):
of more than any other president, bureaucratic red tape and
then further by cutting taxes stimulating the economy. The results
were phenomenal, something that no other administration had been able
to accomplish, and he set record after record after record
after record low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans,

(05:36):
women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African American youth unemployment.
Now he also became the you know, so the Republican
Party because we've been told for years, well, the only
way you're gonna get the Hispanic community to vote more
Republican is amnesty and open borders. And that never was

(05:57):
the case. And I think even a time or two
I might have believed it that. Ah, maybe I don't.
I don't know what is the out The outreach is freedom.
There's there is a natural inclination, I would argue, And
I think our framers and our founders understood this of

(06:17):
human beings to be free, and that instinctively it's it's
in our DNA to want to be free, and instinctively
we know that big government is a failure. That's why
I don't understand why so many people are attracted to
everything's being free. Noh, we're gonna have free. This and

(06:38):
free that and childcare and guaranteed job and college and
and guaranteed government wage and job and healthcare and retirement
and healthy food and on and on and on. That's
not what created wealth in America. A standard of living
second to none in America. You know, I've been to

(07:01):
some of the poorest communities in the country. Now, is
that you want to live there? No, you do not.
But even but compared to the poverty in other countries,
it's not the same. You know, you will often have,
you know, a refrigerator of freezer, a microwave, a television,

(07:22):
and again I'm talking about basics. Does it mean it's
the way you want to live, No, it's not. But
it's the idea that if you develop the discipline the
skills that are necessary, and you put the time in
and the dedication and the time and the commitment into
building a life for yourself, you're going to succeed in

(07:43):
this country and nothing can stop you. And I believe
that's true today. And so I think Carvel is tapped
into something I've been saying, but a little differently, and
that is Democrats and now the party of coastal elites.
And if the Republican Party wants of future. It's got
to be the agenda I've been articulating every day, and

(08:05):
I'm repeating it on purpose. So don't say, Hannity, you
repeat yourself. I am repeating it on purpose because this
is the antidote to the power grab and the New
Green Deal socialist insanity that is going to destroy the country.
Socialism always results in the same exact failure. I did

(08:29):
a whole chapter, Live Free or Die, about socialism and
its history of failure. Whatever name, whatever form, whatever manifestation
that has been tried, it has always failed. They make
grand promises government security, and I get the appeal there
is rush, would say Santa Claus, and I get all

(08:51):
the stress of life is taken away, and government's gonna
provide everything for me. I have daycare for my children,
college for my children, a guaranteed job, a guaranteed wage,
a guaranteed minimum standard of living, healthcare, all the everything
that they promise. But then you get just one little

(09:12):
slight inch deeper, and what do you find everything that
they promised. Social Security is going bankrupt, Medicare is going bankrupt.
I thought they were going to put that in a lockbox. Yeah,
they squandered it. How did Obamacare work out? Keep your
doctor plan and save money? On average? We're paying two
hundred and fifty percent more. Millions lost their doctors, millions

(09:33):
lost their plans. You know, there's fully figured. I think
the number is almost fifty percent now of the country,
about forty percent of the country now has one Obama
Care exchange option. That's it. That's not what you were promised.
You know, government makes a promise for law and order.

(09:55):
How's that working out? In deep blue states? They make
a promise also of what we're going to give your
kids of public schools? They suck? Why do you think
Why do you think that? Why do I say an
unholy alliance? Because teachers unions they give all the money
from their rank and file to Democrats and then as
a result, they get to write COVID policy and the

(10:17):
CDC takes dictation under Joe Biden. Anyway, Carvel adds, Biden
understands a lot of Democrats that a lot of Democrats don't.
He understands the people who work is on bripe part
with their hands, people that work with their back, people
who farm are entitled to the same dignity as people
who sit in the front of a computer screen all day.

(10:40):
But that's not the attitude of the Democratic Party. It's
not Carval said. I think speak plain English, and just
what David said. If the nature of being a Democrat
is respect everybody, particularly respect people's labor, that's not the
Democratic Party. Socialism will always end this way with unfulfilled promises,

(11:04):
lofty promises. You think it's a great thing. I don't
have to worry about these things anymore. Oh, thank goodness,
all right. I don't have to worry about getting a
college fund for my kids. I don't have to worry
about my healthcare. I even have government guaranteed retirement. I'm
gonna I'm gonna have daycare if I have kids. Blah

(11:25):
blah blah. Sounds great. They'll never pull it off because
they can't afford it. Socialism is great to you run
out of other people's money. And then after the promises
are unfulfilled, then the next problem occurs, and that is
it results in dependency and more poverty. And the last

(11:48):
thing that you got to calculate, depending on what manifestation
this fully takes on in the end, how much freedom
did you give up in the name of false secure
created by people that, when you look deep inside, didn't
really want to promise anything. They wanted to make you

(12:09):
dependent on them so they can stay in power. It's
that's simple, That's what it's that. That's the game that
they play. Sounds appealing. I'll have no more fear, no
more stress, no more conflict, no more worry of my
life whatsoever. Government's going to take care of me. Do

(12:35):
you believe the government can take care of you? Here's
my unsolicited advice to all of you. My wonderful radio
family can't do the show without you. Don't rely on
the government for anything. Rely on yourself. Go out work hard,
work two jobs my parents did. Save as much as

(12:59):
you can so you can make choices down the road
and assume that every promise they make they'll break, and
you'll be much better off. All Right, as we roll
along eight hundred and ninefold one sean you want to
join us? The Squad is now Delhi callers apiece the
Hamas Caucus Republicans launch this term for the Squad. Congressman

(13:27):
Mike Walts Florida, Lisa McClain Michigan, Nancy May, South Carolina,
Chris Jacobs, New York all hung up stand with Israel
posters next to their office stores and anyway. Walts then
told Fox News that he's given the squad a new name.
The Hamas Caucus is a Green Bereta fought alongside our

(13:47):
allies against terrorism. Never did I ever think I would
serve in Congress with the Hamas Caucus, who's defending terrorist
attacks on our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel
out That has become a pretty popular term, according to
this Daily callerpiece. But when you you know why, What

(14:08):
I never quite understood is why is Biden and Pelosi
and Schumer quiet on this? You know, Bernie Sanders tried
to block efforts arms sales to Israel. You know, it's
it's pretty unbelievable. You have Green New Deal Democrats now

(14:30):
upping their battle and their war on energy independences. Was
in the Washington Times, Democratic lawmakers attempting to ram legislation
through the Senate Finance Committee that would strip federal tax
credits from oil natural gas industries as part of the
broader effort to remake the US economy. Why so, then
we're gonna what give Vladimir Putin war waivers of Vladimir

(14:53):
you know, the hostile regime of Russia, the hostile actor
that he is. Let's let's help make him rich again,
make Russia great again. America, last, dead, last, how do
you justify taking away American high paying career jobs in
the energy sector, stripping us of the energy independence we

(15:14):
achieve for the first time in seventy five years, and
then letting Putin do the very thing you won't let
Americans do, and helping our allies. We'll continue, Hey five
to the top of the hour. Thanks for being one
of us. By the way, finally, it actually is faster
than I thought it would take for people to fully

(15:34):
completely understand. People now get that Joe Biden is adopted radicalism.
I remember he went through a whole campaign. They hit him,
you know, if he was going to make a big
event the DNC speech, or if he was going to

(15:55):
debate the two debates they had Remember, he'd be missing
an action for six days, and I contended at the time,
they're probably resetting his clock, so his peak cognitive hour
would be you know, if the debates at nine pm,
at nine pm or APM one of a time had
happened to be anyway, Fox News Polls survey came out

(16:16):
at on Joe Biden and is he too liberal? He's
up a whopping ten percent to forty six percent. Democrats
are getting increasingly nervous about woke culture. New York Times
opinion writer wondering in a new op ed if the
progressive cancel culture push is going to backfire on Democrats

(16:39):
at the polls. By the way, not the only person
analyst that is asking these questions. And anyway, the number
of surveys now finding most people are against the more
radical campaigns such as defunding the police, upending traditional gender norms. Again,
these are the poles, and yet he said, were publicans

(17:00):
can still point to the extreme minority that is pushing
these ideas to argue the Democratic parties increasingly beholden to
the radicals. So that's so it's getting interesting how it's
getting out there. We have we'll get into this later
in the program today, but we've got new information. Joe

(17:21):
Biden said he never had any knowledge of Hunter Biden's
business dealings. He didn't say it once, he said it
a number of times. Well, now we know according to
Hunter's laptop, and I've been telling you there's a lot
more to come on that laptop. Just stay tuned. Anyways,
This is just even a small nugget that we hadn't
heard before that Joe Biden met with his son Hunters

(17:44):
Ukrainian Russian Kazakhstan business associates at a dinner in Washington,
DC while he was vice president on April sixteenth to
twenty fifteen, as in a private garden room at Cafe Milano,
Georgetown Institution. Their catchphrase is where the world's most powerful
people go. Next day, Hunter gets an email from an

(18:06):
executive at Barisma, Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me
to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father
and spend some time together. Now it's an honor and
it's a pleasure. At the time, Barisma was paying zero
experience Hunter, the guy that went on GMA and said
any experience in oil no, no, no, no oil experience, casts,

(18:29):
no energy, no, any Ukrainian experience. No. Why do you
think they chose to pay you millions of dollars? I
don't know. Do you think maybe because your father was
in charge of Ukraine policy? Probably? Yeah, that's probably the answer.
That's a quid pro quo, isn't it. You're not getting
a billion unless you fire the prosecutor that's investigating this

(18:52):
corrupt crap, because there's not a single other American that
would get paid millions of dollars with no experience. I mean,
we should all wish we should get such a deal,
but if you ever did, you'd probably be in jail. So,
but those those laws only apply to conservatives. Now we
all know that there's a dual justice system. If you

(19:13):
jay walk and you're a conservative, you will go to jail.
It's unbelievable anyway. And the same thing with Kazakhstan, same
thing with China, the Russian oligar, Kazakhstan oligarch, Chinese National
shopping Spree, Bank of China billion five deal. No experience
there either. But this proves that Joe lied. Where's the mob,

(19:37):
where's the media? I'll have a full report also on
Hannity site. Also the Dailymail has a piece on this
about these emails that it did, in fact meet with
Hunter's foreign business partners while he was while he was
vice president. Pretty corrupt. You wonder why I call it
the Biden family syndicate. Well, that's probably the main reason.

(20:00):
Imagine if the last name was Trump keep that between us.
Hunter sets up a meeting between them, VP Biden and
his shady business partners. Unbelievable. How many times have you
ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings.
I've never spoken my son about his overseas I have
never discussed with my son, or my brother or anyone

(20:23):
else and being having to do with their businesses, period.
And what I will do is the same thing we
did in our administration. Will be an absolute wall between
personal and private and the government. Do you stand by
your statement that you did not discuss any of your
son's overseas business Do you think it was wrong for

(20:44):
him to take that position knowing that it was really
because that company wanted access to you. Well, that's not true.
You're saying things you do not know what you're talking about.
No one said that. Who said that, No credible person
has ever made these claims. I guess this is gonna
be just like the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It's a

(21:05):
conspiracy theory. It's the debunk conspiracy theory. It's a totally
debunk conspiracy theory. And that's not anyway Back to the
Fox News polled too liberal nearly fifty percent. Joe Biden
his government spending forty seven percent too much? Who are
the seventeen percent said not enough? Well, I mean what

(21:26):
do they want everything for free? I guess pushing liberal
socialist the policy forty seven percent. Stability of the country, Yeah, socialism, Yeah,
that's a major issue. And Carval's right. Democrats, metropolitan arrogance,
urban smugness is hurting that party. You've got Republicans Delhi Caller,

(21:51):
the Hamas Caucus, Bernie Sanders trying to stop the arm
seals for Israel to defend itself. Pretty these are unbelievable times.
More and more people see what we've been seeing, and
that is that Fauci. I mean, he just got grilled.
We're gonna place some of this on TV today. We

(22:12):
have Senator Kennedy Louisia. I mean it was a beatdown.
It was ugly, So we're gonna get that. Oh and
Facebook did a reverse course. Now Facebook will allow you
to discuss. Up to now, they weren't allowing users to
claim that COVID nineteen was man made as a lab.
Leak theory now gains ground. Conspiracy theory has gone mainstream.

(22:39):
Unbelievable unbelievable, and you know, life is returning to normal
as it relates to the origins of COVID nineteen. Biden
has just done a remarkable flip flop because he got
called out on it, and he's now saying, oh, I'm
going to have our intelligence community redouble their efforts. He

(23:00):
just told us through circle back Jensaki this week that no,
we're gonna there's a process to this. Come on, there's
a process. This is the who's job. This is not
our job? Who jump? Yeah, why is it? That? Is
it because of Hunter? Is it fair to ask the
question that zero experience Hunter? You know, why why didn't

(23:23):
why didn't China spend the billion five of the Bank
of China with Goldman Sacks or or Chase Bank or
Deutsche Bank or any of these big Wall Street firms
that are actually good at this stuff? And I actually
have they that's their profession. Why did Hunter get it?

(23:45):
I haven't taken a penny from China, noe, but you
have all your holdings in it that one day you're
going to cash in. Unbelievable. Why isn't China being punished
on the issue of what they have unleashed to the world,
and all the evidence now point to the fact that
they knew Donald Trump had no problem putting tariffs on

(24:05):
Chinese products. Why doesn't Is it because Joe's compromised? Why
is he giving a waiver to putin to build a
pipeline when he took away the pipeline in his own
country from American energy producers? Why is that? It's unbelievable
and and nobody seems to remember that Joe Biden ordered this.

(24:30):
The origin of the coronavirus investigation, He canceled Mike Pompoe's
effort he had already started it because he didn't give
it any credibility. Wrong again, wrong on every front. Now,
Biden's ATF nominee is a guy by the name of
David Chipman, and he backs an assault weapons ban and

(24:53):
doesn't believe that we should have arm guards at school.
And then he's repeatedly he asked to define what an
assault weapon is and he can't do it. It was humiliating.
I'll show you the tape tonight. He admits he wants
to ban AAR fifteens okay they are. Fifteen is one of,

(25:15):
if not the most popular rifle in America. It's not
a machine gun. It's a rifle. Your public position is
that you want to ban AAR fifteens. Is that correct?
With respect to the R fifteen, I support a ban
as as has been presented in a Senate bill and

(25:36):
supported by the President. The R fifteen is a gun
I was issued on ATF's SWAT team, and it's a
particularly lethal weapon, and regulating it as other particularly lethal
weapons I have advocated for as ATF director. If I'm confirmed,
I would simply enforce the laws in the books, and

(25:58):
right now there is no such ban on those guns.
So you want to ban the most popular rifle in America?
To what he said, then, Senator Kennedy said, what's an
assault weapon? And then he answers the build to ban
assault weapons. Then Kennedy said, no, what's your definition of

(26:20):
an assault weapon? Senator Kennedy on TV tonight, he said, well,
I could define an assault weapon in twenty seconds. You're
going to run an agency and you don't have a
definition of an assault weapon. I'll give you one definition
that the ATF currently uses. Give me your definition, Senator

(26:40):
Kennedy says, one definition that the ATF currently uses. Senator,
give me your definition. Kennedy keeps interrupting him. He says,
I can give you one definition, and Kennedy says, if
you can't answer my question, how can I vote for you?
And Senator Cotton wassing. Can you tell me what is
an assault weapon? How do you define it? He says?
The AT I is in that program defines an assault

(27:04):
weapon as any semi automatic rifle capable of accepting a
detachable magazine above the caliber of a twenty two, which
would include a two two three, largely in AAR fifteen.
Cotton says, I'm amazed that that might be the definition
of an assault weapon that would basically cover every single

(27:24):
modern sporting rifle in America. You idiot, I added, you idiot.
This is how radical this left is. They want to
control power. They want open borders, they want DC statehood,
They want to have no integrity and elections HR one
SR one, They want new green deo radical socialism. Six

(27:50):
trillion dollars we take in less than four usually as
a country. Oh okay, that's gonna be great for our
kids and grandkids. This is bad for the country, all
of it. I mean, he was brutal, he got brutalized,
he got owned at this Senate hearing. You gotta see it.
It's more of a TV thing, you know. By the way,

(28:12):
Americans are noticing the rising rates of crime. Yeah, trust
confidence law enforcement. Most Americans have great trust seventy two
compared to a year ago. Is there more or less crime?
Seventy three percent? Say more? How could you not say more?
Only people that would deny that truth, that simple, undeniable truth,

(28:34):
would be the people that deny that they were riots
last year. And they got an Attorney general of Joe Biden,
Merrick Carland. He's vowing to fight the homicide epidemic record
numbers with community relations programs. This is his whole reimagining
police departments, where we're gonna send psychiatrists. You know, oh,
there is a domestic violent situation emerging. What we're going

(28:57):
to send in a psychiatrist? Pretty unbelievable. Then defund the police.
I keep asking, Nobody can give me an answer. Who
are you going to call? What are you gonna call?
Because you know, and I always say to people, you
better count on yourself in life. I'm not depending on

(29:21):
the government for anything. I'm pretty sure by the time
my Social Security age comes that they're just gonna set
means tested and steal the money I've been paying my
entire life into Social Security. They'll legalize stealing it. That's
what I expect. Not good. Now, there was an armed
teacher this is in Utah, was a hero. He pulled

(29:46):
out his concealed firearm anyway, and it was a man
that was trying to kidnap an eleven year old student. Anyway,
So police officers arrived and they found the teacher that
witnessed the situation. The teacher was inside the classrooms all
was happening, his kid's being taken, ran outside, confronted the suspect.
The girl was able to break free. The teacher was

(30:08):
able to get all the students outside inside, off the
playground into the school. Then the guy that was trying
to snatch the kid approached the school and was trying
to force his way inside. The teacher happened to be
a license concealed gun carrier, pulled his firearm and then
held the suspect till the police arrived. More Guns Less Crime.

(30:28):
It's a great book. It's updated regularly by John Lott.
You might want to read it, maybe give it to
friends of yours in the mob in the media, big tech,
so they might learn something. Hour two Sean hanned his
show eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, mentioning earlier
Biden's ATF nominee. Yeah, pretty much, admitting that he wants

(30:50):
to ban a R fifteens. He doesn't even know what
an assault weapon is. He has no idea whatsoever. But
that's neither here nor there. The issues involving, defunding, dismantling
our real We have a new poll out. Three quarters
of Americans now say crime is much higher under Joe Biden,
seventy three percent according to a Fox poll that was

(31:13):
just released. We've gone over the percentages, you know, just
an eight hundred percent increase in homicides and Portland on
top of the record high last year, and one hundred
and thirty two percent increase in Oakland, and one hundred
and thirteen percent increase in Minneapolis. These are all record years,
one hundred and twenty seven percent increase in Los Angeles,

(31:35):
and it just keeps getting worse. And now we see
all the videos of how cops are being treated and
none of it is any good. And the question then remains, well,
what are you going to do if you need to
protect yourself or your family? You know what Attorney General
Merrick Garland, vowing now to fight the Biden homicide epidemic

(31:55):
with community relations programs, will well, you know, we'll reimagine
the police and we'll put what psychiatrists and social workers
out on the streets instead of cops. I mean, this
is what they're proposing. I mean, do they not see
what's happening here in Atlanta? You had this deep fund

(32:18):
the police packer. Yeah, his car was stolen by kids
in broad daylight Antonio Brown, who voted earlier this year
to withhold seventy three million from the Atlanta police budget.
And it's it's just outright frightening out there. Cops taking
you know, guns, drugs all over the place when they can,

(32:38):
but they're afraid to do their job because they know
they're not going to get the support that is needed.
You know, look at Chicago. Listen to this ABC seven
Chicago report. Remember this is after Mayor Lightweight, And we've
been chronicling this since the Biden Obama administration, where we'd
list the names that you've never heard of, a people's
shot and shot and killed thus of them. Uh, and

(33:02):
you don't ever hear these names anyway, lightweight saying no
more foot patrol for police officers. Oh, this is the
report from last weekend. Gun violence continues in Chicago this weekend.
At least forty eight people were shot in the city
since Friday evening. At least eleven of those shooting victims
have died. This includes four people shot on Chicago's West
Side yesterday afternoon. Police now say four men were in

(33:24):
the street near Ohio and Spalding when someone drove up
and started shooting. Since we've last heard, one of the
victims was in critical condition. Yeah, it's up to fifty.
From last weekend, twelve died. Uh. You have a BLM protester.
Listen to what this wonderful human being has to say
about what they're gonna do to Chicago police. Chicago, We're

(34:11):
gonna blow your effing head off talking about police officers.
Great job, mayor unbelievable anyway. Sergeant uh Trey Penny is
with US. Twenty one year vet Dallas Police Force, President
Dallas National UH Dallas, Texas National Falling Officer Association. Eric Feinberg,
communications director for the National Fallen Officer Foundation. Uh okay, Uh,

(34:34):
we see what's happening, Uh, Trey, we see what's happening
in every city, and they're getting away with it, and
it's getting they're getting more bold with the police. Police
now are more inclined to stay away than ever before.
And the squad is pushing really, really hard. And this
this bill may die because they're insisting that indemnification be

(34:56):
removed from police officers if they're involved in an incident.
Where cities are learning a really hard lesson right now, Sean. Uh.
In fact, with you, if you look at all these
cities that call for defunding the police before we hit
the summertime, now you got you got about half of
them calling the reinstate putting money back into the budget
for police. On average, that these cities have seen thirty

(35:19):
three percent increasing the murder rate. There's no way to
deal with that. But cities are going to learn about
allowing the mob to control the way that they make decisions.
And unfortunately there everybody's being influenced by this this nonsense
that's going through social media, all the anti defund the police,
all the you know, killed police, all that nonsense. That's
what the negatively impacted us, and these officers not because

(35:42):
they can't do that job or something like that. You
start talking about taking away immediately protection for doing their job,
You're definitely not gonna have officers police and in communities
that are already struggling to maintain a level of decency anyway.
You you wanna have a more difficult time getting those
officers to control, because nobody's gonna want to face that
type of live busity knowing that they're going to be

(36:03):
prosecuted or possibly face losing their own livelihood because of
an interaction that they had in the community doing their job. No,
that that narrative is not going to work. I'm sorry, Sean,
is just simply not going to work. Your take, Eric,
I mean, I don't I don't even know what to
tell my friends that our cops what to do at
this point. I mean, glad, sorry, son. My ticket is

(36:26):
what Tray said social media. If you look even what
happened in the Chauvin trial, I think the jurors were
afraid of what would have happened in the tweet storms.
And I think we've got to understand law enforcement needs
to do a better job, and everybody needs to understand,
as Tray said, how what you see in the real
world it's being radicalized and started on social media. We

(36:48):
did last year, Tray and I we watched over the
Four Days which is coming up this weekend, and we
watched how hashtags F twelve ACAB thirteen twelve, which is
ACAB based, to be metastasized throughout the social media world,
which led to the protests and riots and looting across
the country. Unbelievable. Well, at this point, you know, one,

(37:10):
if the Squad is successful, and they've been successful in
getting the New Green Deal agenda across, they've been successful
in terms of being able to say anything they want
about Israel. And I mean, it's it's pretty shocking some
of the comments that we've heard Republicans now referring to
the Squad as the Hamass Caucus. And I mean, well,

(37:35):
and I don't disagree, but here's the point, Trey. It's
that when when you look at the squad, Nancy Pelosi,
Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, they're afraid of the squad. Nancy
Pelosi doesn't want to lose their job as speaker, Chuck
Schumer doesn't want to be primaried and Joe Biden doesn't
know what day of the week it is. So we
don't really have anybody stopping the squad, and they're adopting

(37:57):
the entire radical agenda of the squad. Well, that whole
system that that's that's being a running the Democrat Party
is stealing, it's stealing from it's come to part at
the seams. Unfortunately, we have the we have politicians in
Congress that are actually advocating for supporting the interests of
terrorists in other countries. We simply can't have that. We

(38:18):
have an increase of anti Semitic uh rhetoric, we have
attack going on individuals attacking Jews in our communities. Uh
and it's all because you have politicians that have validated
that nonsense. We got to push back against those type
of those type of narratives. We gotta push back and
got against this bill and agenda that that um you

(38:40):
know that trying to partner themselves with with Hamas. I mean,
in what world is it okay for any group, any
group in America to call themselves partnering with Hamas? And
what world is that okay? That's that's that's that's a
that's a fallacy. I think that we need to we
as conservatives, need to be smart and how we handle business.
We you know, yeah, I agree completely. I love this

(39:03):
story in Atlanta. I mean, you've got a mayoral hopeful
out there. Councilman Antonio Brown attending a ribbon cutting ceremony
at an event in northeast Atlanta around noon four kids,
apparently around twelve years old. I'm sorry, six kids around
twelve years old. Yeah, they just jumped into his car
and stole it in broad daylight. And that then raises

(39:25):
the question that nobody seems to be able to answer,
except I know what you guys would do because of
your training, and I know what I would do based
on my training. But what will people that want to
defund the police, that are anti Second Amendment, that don't
know how to defend themselves or use their hands, eric,
what are they gonna do? I think it's we're dealing

(39:48):
with ignorance here and they don't know because they've never
been in this situation. And I think some of it
what you're talking about showing and we are I think
it's generational. You know, some people like us who are
a little bit older. I think it comes down to generation,
you know, and a little bit of ignorance because they've
never been in a situation or experience things. So you know,
they're literally being led to a place that they're not

(40:09):
aware of. And I think it's generational in some regards.
I think a lot of this And I still come
back to social media misinformation. You seem to be that
the people who aren't wanting to defund the police and
all this, you know, pro hamass and all this, seemed
to be younger and they read through these, you know,
misinformation chains on social media, and I think without social media,
the squad would not have a place, you know, a voice,

(40:32):
we wouldn't know about him. Social media has given him
a platform to spread this stuff. If you look at
this story in the Washington Times today, Trey, you know,
we're watching, for example, the the Biden nominee to head
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms that doesn't even can't
even define what an assault weapon is, but he wants
to ban them. And they've not given up on their

(40:53):
dream of firearms confiscation and eliminating the Second Amendment. Anyway,
how ironic and sad, but on the other hand, heroic.
You have a U taught teacher who ended up being
a hero when he pulled out his concealed firearm. And
by the way, this atf guy that they're recommending, he
doesn't believe that we should have armed police and schools

(41:17):
to protect our kids anyway. So you have a teacher
in Utah, he has a concealed firearm permit, pulled it
on a guy that tried to kidnap an eleven year
old student. And they said the officer on you know,
on Tuesday that the teacher witnessed a situation from inside
the school, ran out, confronted the suspect, and the girl
was able to break free, and the teacher was able

(41:39):
to get all twenty students off the playground into the
schools safely. And at that point, apparently you know, he
would reportedly approach the school building and was trying to
force his way inside, and then the teacher, a license
concealed gun carrier tray, pulled his firearm and held it,
held the suspect until the police arrived. Sounds like a

(42:00):
hero to me, so definitely a hero. Look, I'm one
of these these pro secul Amendment advocates, and I'm going
to tell you when when it comes to our kids,
I think I don't think there's anything I wouldn't expect
anything less than having having armed teachers, having armed guards
on all of our campuses. And this day and age
right now, there's no way to predict human behavior, especially

(42:22):
as it relates to all these different attacks that are
happening on our schools. So we need to have individuals
like that and our plauts. Is just this gentleman for
protecting the instance of those kids. But look, when we're
talking about campus safety, I don't discourage anybody from using
necessary force to prevent anybody from getting an attacker from
getting inside of the school. That's what we need to do.

(42:43):
We need to start We just start funding all our
schools specifically to make sure that every last one of
them having armed protection on those campuses. I mean, what
I've suggested is how about retired military train, retired police
train that if they dedicated X number of weeks and
their local school district that federally and on the state level,

(43:04):
that they won't have to pay income taxes. How's that
won't cost anybody a dime? And how much safer would
parents feel about their kids knowing that if God forbid
a lunatic gets into the school or school shooting breaks out,
that at least we've got some the first line responder
right there, because even the greatest response time is not

(43:24):
going to be sufficient because whatever is going to happen
will have happened. Yeah, yeah, we talk about that. You know,
in all these school shootings, those incidents happen in less
than five seconds from when the first shot is fired,
and it takes on average between seven and ten minutes
for law enforce and to arrive. So yeah, having a
first respond their own scene to be able to interact

(43:45):
or respond to those situations when they occur, we need
to have that. But most importantly, we got we gotta
make sure we include this in the discussion. We need
to have on police officers, on trained individuals on campus
to protect. We're gonna have a first line, first line
of the fifth just have a military personnel. There's simply
not enough. They have to be They have to have
some level of protected to stop the armed attackle from

(44:08):
getting inside that school. And that's that's why I say
we got to start talking about this. Well, I'd feel
better knowing my kids had trained armed military or police.
And by the way, I'm talking about planes, clothes men.
They don't have to be dressed in uniform or camouflage.
I mean, they can be there dressed in a suit.
But we know that if something God forbid happens, we

(44:29):
have people right there on site protecting our kids. I mean, Eric,
we all have president air marshals what you're talking about.
And it works. If I look, if I'm flying on
a plane and I know that there's somebody on this
plane that's an air marshal, that's armed, that's trained, I'm

(44:49):
gonna feel a lot better about our odds of stopping
somebody that has you know, evil intention. Yeah, and you
know what it's. It's it's also a determent, will John,
Let me just simply people know that we have these
mechanisms in place, You're less likely to have attacks that
are gonna occurred when people know that you've already set
the standards. You set the standards to half armed guards

(45:11):
on plane, you set the standard to half armed guards
on at school. The attacker knows this. The attacker will
know and I think it's gonna ask someone as a deterrent,
But when those situations do occur, we're gonna effectively respond yeah,
all right, Well, we really appreciate both of you what
you do. Do you do you find that most guys
are leaving the forest real quickly A Trey. Yeah. Absolutely,

(45:35):
there's a drafted increase of officers leaving the profession right now,
and a big part of it was centered around the
defund movement because these officers are afraid of losing their job,
especially as we started talking about you know, we're moving
qualified immunity. So that is a real thing, is not
just rhetoric. That is real. All right, Thank you both
for being one of those Thanks for what you do
every day. Eight hundred and nine four one. Sean told

(45:57):
free number we'll get to your calls next half hour
twenty five to the top of the hour. So earlier
this week we played for you circle back Jed and
Saki and said, no, Joe is going to follow the process.
This is an international investigation and we are relying on
the WHO to do the investigating as it relates to

(46:19):
the Wuhan virus blah blah blah origins of COVID nineteen. Well,
now Joe's trying to do a reversal and now saying
that he will release a report on the COVID origins,
unless there's something that he's unaware of. Okay, here's the problem,
because Joe's lying, and circle back is lying too. Now

(46:41):
they just there was so much brushback to all of
all of the lies that have been told by the
medium mob, by big tech, and by the Democratic Party
on the origins of this COVID nineteen virus. They listen,
we knew people were being silenced, we knew people were dying.

(47:02):
We have cell phone records, we got hospital records. We
had people that were trying to warn the world that
we're being let's just say, not only silence, but in
some cases, seemingly they just disappeared. Maybe they got sick. Now,
as Joe has switched gears in the course of this
week alone, only out of pressure that was brought to

(47:24):
bear by conservative voices and Mike Pompeo and the Trump
administration former Trump administration officials. Now Joe's ordering a US investigation.
They told us earlier in the week, they're going to
count on the who. Okay, we're gonna redouble our efforts.
Our intelligence agencies will redouble their efforts. And I have

(47:44):
now asked the intelligence community to do this. Now the
only problem is is that Joe Biden actually was the
person that canceled the investigation of the origins of coronavirus,
the effort that was being spearheaded by former Secretary his stake,
Mike Pompeo. Now basically they got caught, you know, circle

(48:08):
Backsaki indicating the investigation led by the United States is
not necessary. She was telling us what on Tuesday of
this week, administration was hopeful that the WHO would have
success in doing this investigation, and we've got to trust
the process. Really. Then, of course she got the whole

(48:29):
medium mob And when Donald Trump mentioned this a year ago,
he was mocked, he was ridiculed, he was attacked. Everybody
was saying, there's a big conspiracy theory. He'd listen, the
best evidence suggests that the kind of bat from which
this virus jumped to humans wasn't even present there. But
you know, the worst of all, whether it came from
the label, came from the bats, it all came from China.

(48:51):
Because we don't know where the novel coronavirus came from,
yet the conspiracy theories filled avoid I'm telling you, the
chi coms are trying to weaponize this thing. Conservative talk
show host Rush Limbaugh with zero proof suggesting a Chinese
bioweapon lab is to blame. It is this question about
the Wuhan lab. We know that it's been debunked. Those
same agencies now have been tapped with investigating one of

(49:13):
trump World's most favorite conspiracy theories. This week, Donald Trump
is still pushing the debunked bunkum despite his own intelligence
community's findings that that is simply not true and there
is simply no reason to believe that is the case.
There is no empirical evidence to verify that. Their virus
hunters out there that have looked at what's the most
likely cause, and there's no debate here amongst serious people.

(49:35):
There is no debate. This was most likely what we
call his zoonotic disease and went from animal to human,
likely in a market in Wuhan. It's not uncommon. He
can't just sit back and let the doctors and the
scientists do their jobs. He's got to Chai man. He
may pick up the conspiracy theory that this was some weapon.

(49:57):
People don't keep bats in caps of It's a complete
We don't need to involve conspiracy theories. This is just
another example of the president trying to change the narrative
from his own failings. The problem for President Trump is
that he's running for reelection, is looking for ways to
deflect blame for the performance of the administration. Pretty predictable

(50:18):
and unbelievable. Eight hundred and nine for one, Sean is
our number. You want to be a part of the program.
Let's say, hi, Jimmy is in New York. Jimmy, what
the heck are you doing here? Why don't you go
down to Florida? It says you're a retired police officer?
What are you doing up here? Well, right now, I'm
actually listening to you. But are you gonna listen to

(50:39):
me down in Florida or somewhere else Texas or I'm
looking right now as a matter of fact, like everybody else.
Welcome to the club anyway. What's got How many years
did you serve on the NYPD? Okay, so well, I
was actually a city cop for about eight years. Then
I was in New York City, flinnment for eight years,
and then he became a top of them out one

(51:00):
Island and retired there after about fifteen years. Oh wow,
what a great career you've had. Good for you, Yeah,
it was great. Yeah, I left right after nine eleven
tould a small, small town police department in Nashville County.
But the reason why I quarnshone is something's been really
bugging me for a long time after the New York
Yankees took took a knee. Uh you know, during and

(51:21):
before and after the national anthem. Diehard Yankee fan for
as long as I can remember, and the problem has
been with me is like, how do I justify buying
a ticket to go to a Yankee game when these
idiots I'm sus shouldn't use that term, but when these
professional baseball players are taking a knee in disrespecting my country,

(51:43):
I don't know, like it's to me. Let me, let
me backtrack and let me try and answer your question. Um,
remember when Drew Brees, I think it was Drew Brees
made the comment that the reason I don't take a
knee is because I think you said, my grandfather, you know,
he fought under that flag and that anthem means everything

(52:06):
to me in as a way to honor him, and
do I believe in freedom of expression, I make my
living with it. That's why I never support Boycott's and
never tell people I'm against and have always been against,
cancel culture, and I believe in freedom. But the problem

(52:26):
with professional sports now, I don't care if it's Major
League Baseball moving the All Star Game from Atlanta to Colorado,
not knowing a single fact at all about how much
more inclusive Georgia's law is than Joe Biden's law in Delaware,
where he served for thousands of years and never lifted
a finger to make voting more accessible in his state.

(52:49):
It was done out of complete ignorance. And yeah, right,
and the same as good. You see that. You know
you have record low ratings on television for the NBA,
you know, double digit declines in the NFL and the
NBA and Major League Baseball. Now, now here's my argument

(53:10):
why politics should be out of professional sports completely. Now,
if if, if any professional athlete who has got this pedestal,
put on a pedestal by so many people, if they've
got a cause, say, you know, bettering our schools, stopping
violence in the street, whatever it is, if they would
ask their fans to support them, I bet their fans would,

(53:34):
and I bet they'd support them in droves. Probably. You know,
you go to a football game, you go to a
hockey game, you go to a baseball game, go to
a basketball game. You know what you don't know the
people of all races, all socioeconomic backgrounds. You know, you're
sitting next to somebody you don't even know. You have
one shared passion and you don't care if they're liberal

(53:57):
or Democrat. You love your home team. It's a shared passion.
And you know you find yourself high fiving people. I'm sorry,
I'm saying you just want to sit back, relax and
forget about the world, everything that's going on, and just
enjoy watching a game. That's all you want to do.
But think about this. To look at the pitches mound
and it's got a BLM insignia on it. You know, listen,

(54:20):
that's that's the deal of whatever BLM is it is.
But I don't need to see it. All right, it
has no place because there are those of us that
understand that the actual group bl I'm not people that
were after George Floyd Chanting. You know, black lives matter
because they all lives matter, of course they do. But
those that are part of the group that chanted what

(54:41):
do we want de cops? Why don't we want them now? Yeah.
So the so the problem is is that you're taking
something that unifies everybody. How many times you find yourself
at a game high fiving with somebody you don't even know,
a stranger you know, hits a home run game. Yeah,
I went to a post Yankee game, you know, good
clean fun ribbing each other that having a ball. We

(55:03):
didn't care. I didn't care if the guy was black
or white, or if you supported a Democrat or a Republican.
It's unifying. You have a shared passion. You know, you
have a shared passion with everybody, all the fans that
are there. And unfortunately, all this does is alienate people.
And you know, I guess now it's even making us
way into college sports. And what's happening is the result

(55:25):
is people like, Okay, you've taken all the fun out
of this. I'm trying to get away from politics, and
and you're forcing you're putting this big wedge in the
one place that could be the most unifying. Makes sense,
you know, like for example, if Lebron James asked the
Lakers to put up on you know, the what do

(55:48):
you call that big thing in an arena um, the JumboTron,
whatever you call the thing. You know, Hey, please Joy,
please text lebron at blah blah blah. If you want
to hell you know, kids that need an education, if
you want to help stop the violence, whatever it is.
I bet you a ton of people would do that

(56:09):
and be glad to It's just a different way to
look at it. I mean, because we really we probably
share a lot of things that we would agree on.
But you know, unfortunately there is this fear. I mean
it is palpable. Major League Baseball acted, corporations acted without

(56:31):
any knowledge whatsoever. They took Joe Biden's word, the guy
that actually fought against integration to schools with a clansman,
and they took his word about George's law being Jim
Crow two point zero, and they were scared, and they
just okay, we're out, Like do you know anything about
the law, because you obviously don't. So it's it's an

(56:55):
environment that I think we're missing. The biggest opportunity we
have to unite people with sports. It's a common interest,
it's a passion. It could be the place to go.
You know, right after they took after the Yankees took
a knee, and then during the batting practice, they had
the BLM shirts on them today uniforms. Right after that,
I got soap set. I threw some jerseys out and

(57:15):
hats and everything, and I said, I'm never going to
a game again. So I said, I said, you know what,
I'll watch it on TV. That'll be you know, I
can still watch TV. I sit down to watch the
game or what am I looking at on a mount
a BLM insignia. I'm like, I can't win. This is terrible,
you know. I mean, there's a time of place for everything,
and I don't I don't think teams know or understand

(57:38):
the group Black Lives Matter? Is that controversial? The group
and I make a distinction. I delineate greatly because it's important.
The group that chanted, what do we want dead cops?
Why don't we want them now? And pigs in a
blanket and pryme like bacon. Now, that's the group. Then
you look at their their radical views and ideology, and

(57:59):
it's it's it's it's radical. But you know people that
were chanting that as they were protesting the death peacefully,
those that were peaceful, and that there was many of them,
the majority even um not. It's it's just sad It's
like we just keep putting wedges everywhere, and there's no
bridges being built anywhere. The easiest bridge to build, in

(58:22):
my opinion, is in a you know, at an NFL game,
an NBA game, MLB game, hockey, NHL game, at the
you know, if whenever, if you go watch any boxing matches.
I've been to boxing matches, if you watch UFC, I mean,
it's just great stuff. Everybody in that those arenas, they

(58:45):
love that sport, and they're there because they have a passion.
They're paying good money to watch the best at the
best of the best. I love sports because I love
watching the most gifted, the most talented people that have
honed their incredible skills to a level that is inspiring.

(59:05):
And it's sad when you know, we don't need more politics.
We got enough politics right now. We need a break
from politics at times, although we can't take a break
from saving the country. Go ahead, let me ask you
a question. So you have an opportunity. Now, let's if
you were my shoes and you had an opportunity to
go to go sit in the Yankee game, would you go?

(59:28):
You know, I'm not going to answer that because now
you're asking me if I'm going to boycott sporting events
now I'm mostly I will tell you I watch very
little football last year, very little I watched college foot.
I actually was fascinated with college football. It's got wrapped
up in it more than I ever had. I'd always
been more of a pro guy and anyway, but you know,

(59:50):
then we had Tom Brady facing off against Drew Brees
and Aaron Rodgers and the whole narrative of him in
another Super Bowl. I'll admit that. You know, it just
piqued my interest so much. I watched those games because
they were great games and um, but you know, I
can't make that decision for you. But you know, going

(01:00:11):
to a baseball game ain't cheap. You gotta get the
you know, you know, you you need to take out
a mortgage half the time to get a go to
a baseball game and get it. You know, two beers,
four hot dogs and Cracker Jackson popcorn. You know, and
you go with your hands up because you're getting robbed,
no doubt about it. I mean, you know, if this,

(01:00:32):
if people like you stay away, you know what the
net result of that is, athletes are going to end
up being paid less opportunity will decline there. You know,
nobody's thought through this. There's another way ingratiate people to
your passion and your cause and and and your help

(01:00:52):
for a community. That would be my recommendation, but nobody
ever listens to me. What's the difference anyway? Thanks, I
appreciate it. Thanks for serving as a police officer all
those years in a firement, sir, Thank you very much.
Eight hundred nine. Shawn is our number. Stay right here
for our final news round up and information overload. All right,
news round up, information overload, our Sean Hannity Show. Actually,

(01:01:15):
Ronald McDaniel, head of the RNC, found the tape of
Circle Back Jen Saki. I guess she was a CNN
fake news contributor at the time. And even she acknowledges
that Joe's got a little sippy cup problem. In other words, yeah,
we've noticed these moments, these lapses, this insanity that happens.

(01:01:37):
How funny that it is that she wouldn't acknowledge it now,
but so she put out a tweet that thought it
was very funny. Let me play it for you. But
it's Jen Saki. Prior to being Circle Back, White House
Press Secretary Sackey. There have been a number of moments
where even those of us who have affection for Vice
President Biden think, what on earth is happening right now?

(01:01:58):
From the chart, assuming from Charlotte one another line going
from in Florida down to Tampa, that is a major factor.
We don't see that. Look. So, the best way to
get something done if you if a hold near and

(01:02:20):
dear to you that you like to be able to anyway,
here's what drives the driver to the states that are affected.
Here's what the you can do the drivers. I'm encouraged,
not just because of solid meting with with uh the

(01:02:45):
he takes questions nearly every day. He's out across That's
not something you recommend. Okay, So circle back Sucky admitting
that Joe's cognitively messed up. Oh, I don't know why
we did find that sooner. I'm actually jealous. Why did
I not find that? I hate when people find stuff
I should have found anyway. Here to weigh in on

(01:03:07):
this and much more is Mark Simone's the host of
our midday morning show on our flagship in New York
w r U. A great show. Concha, Oh I wish
would have his own media show on the Fox News Channel.
I am. I am pushing hard for it because he's
the only media commentator in America today that actually gets

(01:03:29):
it right, and you know, stands like he's an island
unto himself in terms of media analysis and honesty. Welcome back,
both of you. Wow showing you got my PayPal. Thanks.
I was wondering if that money went through. But no,
I actually say things that I mean, like, for example,
I can tell you another thing. I can say this
about Mark Simone. He's probably the funniest damn tweeter I've

(01:03:52):
ever seen in my life. Oh where's my show? Then?
Oh you've already guy. No, but I don't go on Twitter.
You know. You know that all our friend Linda here
has banned me from any access to any of my
own social media accounts. You all know that, right, Uh,
you were great on Twitter. You should go back. Mark

(01:04:13):
has a memory like an elephant, so you kind of
remember the Alec Baldwin battles and the Jimmy Kimmel battles,
and yeah, no, that was the greatest thing of all
two big stars, that free time at night to fight
with e children. It was Grez, you know, with the
Twitter wait a minute, and wait a minute, and wait
a minute. I think I think we need a little
clarity here. First of all, go ahead. The best of
all time, the best back and forth on Twitter was

(01:04:35):
Sean was Jim Acosta a little Jimmy little. Those were
the best fights. That one was that when he like
accused me of seeing him on a bus someplace and
I didn't have the nurse God. That was when we
were in Finland. He was like, and I'm like, we
need when you were there, must um And if he
wanted to see me or talk to me, why didn't
he say hi to me? He actually, well he was

(01:04:57):
scared recognize him. Nobody recognizes him exactly. And then the
other funny part about that whole thing was he was begging.
He was like on his crawling on his hands and knees.
TV and radio was shameless to get on the show.
And I'm like, I'll sell your stupid book that nobody
bought anyway. It's like, humpty dumpty, stupid book. You know, uh,

(01:05:20):
you know, I think it's all like in a year,
forty thousand copies. I'm like, which is an utter unmitigated
failure and disaster. But all right, but is there is
something here? I want to get into this a little
more deeply. Is Jensaki admitting Mark Simone that Joe really
is Sippy Cup Joe. Well, if she's saying that he's drunk,

(01:05:40):
that's great news. I thought he had some mental decline
that mine was shot. This is just drinking week that
then we'll have a few hours where he's sober. That's great,
That's that would be a good point. But I don't
think that's what she's referring to to you. Uh, I
don't think it's Listen, it's I'm not the the lie

(01:06:00):
the guy. Look, I've now shown more tape show Concha
of Sippy Cup in twenty twelve, twenty sixteen, even and
versus today, he is a It's like it's there's no comparison.
He's not the same guy. And the first part of
our enemies see it. Go ahead, just for five minutes

(01:06:21):
this weekend, because it's going to rain like over most
of the countries, he might have to find some time
filling the hours. Just put in YouTube Joe Biden Paul
Ryan vice presidential debate twenty twelve and just watching for
five minutes and you will see somebody you won't even
recognize this person. I'm not talking about Ryan, I'm talking
about Biden. He was crisp, he had his fact straight.

(01:06:42):
You know, I'm not saying he's the perfect speaker, the
perfect debater, but when you compare it to what we're
seeing now, it's incredible. And here's the thing. It's not
like twenty twelve. Biden. He was vice president then, but
now he's working at the food king or he's no
retired and playing golf every day to everything. He's the
leader of the free world. He's the president of this country.
And look at this. This is his schedule. Just yesterday,

(01:07:04):
nine fifty am. All right, that's the first thing on
the schedule. The president receives the president's daily brief Then
twelve pm in town pool, call tim or it has
nothing really to do with him. Twelve thirty press briefing
by the press secretary. That's it. That was his entire schedule.
So this is what happens. This is what you get,
and this is why the country is going in the
direction that it is on so many key issues, because

(01:07:24):
you have a president who simply doesn't want to work
because maybe he can't work. I don't think he can.
I don't think he's up to it, and part of
me it scares the living hell out of me. And
now we see, look, every the media can play their game.
I am waiting. I shouldn't even telegraph what I have planned, Linda,
should I tell? All right, I'm just going to be
honest with my audience. I am waiting for the media

(01:07:47):
mob to come after me, and I've been waiting for
pointing out the obvious that Joe is clearly a cognitive
mess and weak in frail. And when they do, Mark Simone,
let's just say, I will put out the defining tape
of Joe. That would be it is evidence that is overwhelming,

(01:08:13):
incontrovertible about my case. And then I'll say, let's have
a vote. Let the American people decide. Let's wait, they
haven't taken one of those cognitive tests. And do you
ever see what he's playing with the dogs? Even the
dogs look at them funny, like they know there's something
wrong with him, so they don't go near him when
when they running around, Hang on, it is that what
you're reading the dogs for you to sipping cup? Look

(01:08:37):
at the pictures. There's nobody smarter than the German Shepherd
that they're looking at him like, what's wrong with this guy?
Come on, well, you know, there is one interesting story
that came out recently Mark, and it was I'm sure
you probably covered it even but the dogs that are
able to sniff out people ninety eight seven percent effective
if they got COVID. Yeah, I'm sure they can sniff

(01:08:59):
out a little a problem too, and they smelled someone.
You know, I am not responsible for what Mark Simone
says on my program. I'm just not I'm not taking
the heat for this crap. Hey, look, Joe Biden still
hasn't released any of his medical records either. Why is
that all right? I mean, particularly when you're dealing with
somebody who has had health issues in the past, When

(01:09:20):
you have the oldest president in this country's history that
will be in his eighties before his first term is over,
I would think that the most honest, most transparent administration
of all time. At least we were promised that, it
was like we're getting the second coming in George Washington.
What at least result releases medical records, But nope, they're
keeping those under wraps. And it's a fair question to ask,
why the hell is that well, I mean, it's it's

(01:09:42):
pretty unbelievable to me. All right, let me move on
because we've got we've got Biden family syndicate corruption news
to get to. So now we discovered, thanks to Hunter's laptop,
that Joe Biden met with his son's zero experience Hunter
and his other part and they had a dinner in Washington, DC.

(01:10:04):
And I'll go to you. Joe Consche was on April
of twenty fifteen. He was the vice president at the time.
And the next day Hunter gets an email, you know,
the executive of Barisma to thank him for introducing him
to his father. Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me
to DC and giving me the opportunity to meet your
father and spending time together, he writes, It's really was

(01:10:26):
an honor and a pleasure. Well, that's at the exact
same time Barisma was paying Hunter eighty three thousand, three
hundred and thirty three bucks a month to sit on
a board. When he admits on GMA as zero experience
in any of this, isn't that remarkable? And that's a story, now,
isn't it. That's a huge story, particularly on a day

(01:10:47):
like today where there's not a lot of breaking news, particularly,
and this is what we're seeing on the homepages at
CNN dot com and Nbcnews dot com and the Washington
Post dot com and the New York Times dot com.
You don't see anything about this story whatsoever. It's the
usual suppression. Nothing to see here. Trust me. If this
president's name was Trump instead of Biden and he was

(01:11:09):
accused of the same thing that Biden is, and now
the receipts are starting to come in, you would have
to add another hour to twenty four seven cable news
because there wouldn't be enough room to cover it the
way people will be on their soapboxes screaming about how
this is a threat to democracy and X y Z.
But not only is this not being covered, it's not
being touched. And that's remarkable because if I'm running a
news organization, this is a big story. The biggest story

(01:11:34):
here is that he lied. Joe Biden lied. He said
in multiple interviews, I never met these I never discussed
the business with my son. He was in a meeting,
a dinner meeting with these guys, Cafe Melana where they were.
That's the big power spot, hotspot of Washington. That's another
part of the favor these guys can be seen with
the Vice president there by. Everybody you know, the Left
tries to dismiss this like that, it's like a Billy Carter.

(01:11:56):
It's like a Roger Clinton getting a few bucks to
promote a beer or something. This is millions and millions
of dollars from the shadiest people in the world. Usually
we get foreign aid to every country, but the Biden's
figure out a way where they give it back to
them and they collect it. For Joe Biden, who've been
there and a light about it, the fact that he
lied about it tells you everything you need to know.
Where do both of you see this? This grand jury

(01:12:20):
convening in New York going after the Trump organization. Joe
contra I have zero id going to be honest with you,
zero idea on this one. I mean, it's it's Tis James,
the ag Democrat. She wants to be governor of New York,
is what you hear the skull bon around. Obviously, getting
a big scalp like a Donald Trump, or at least

(01:12:41):
someone big within that organization would help her, particularly in
a blue state like New York, But as of now,
it's just so murky in terms of what they actually
have and does it actually go all the way up
to the president, because obviously, you know, he hasn't been
around the Trump organization for for many years. So I
honestly don't know. I don't want to speculate on things
that I simply cannot predict. It just seems like it's

(01:13:05):
never ending, Mark Simone. It's that they want to make
sure now because they didn't win with Muller impeachment one
or impeachment two, and they just don't even want a
possibility that Donald Trump can run in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
what they're trying to charge him with is inflating the
price of his real estate to get better bank loans.

(01:13:28):
You know, you can get any appraises to give you
any price you want, and whatever price you put on
the building, the bank never uses that. They get their
own appraises. They don't look at your numbers. So nobody's
ever been charged with this in history. If they try
to do this, it'll look ridiculous, the media will cover
up for him, They'll get a lot. It's such a
good point, especially when you're talking about either tens of
millions or hundreds of millions or maybe even more of dollars.

(01:13:51):
They're not going to go with your estimate. You could
argue with them, we think it's worth this, you think
it's worth that. They're going to go with their own,
you know, calculations. Yeah, anybody's gotten a home loan they
give you don't tell you what the home is worth.
If you can't tell them. But you could get a
left wing judge in Manhattan, enough left wing Trump paters
on the jury, who knows what could happen. Yeah, that's

(01:14:14):
that's a pretty scary thought. I think it can too.
Will there ever be anybody held accountable with the Durham report?
Joe contra or? Is this just dead? You know, we
haven't heard much about that, have we, Right, So it
appears like it's dead at this point because Durham under
Trump obviously probably had a lot more leeway. But now
under a different democratic administration that you got to believe

(01:14:36):
that most likely we're not going to hear anything about this.
It's amazing no one brings this up, right, It's almost
you just bought it up. I'm like, oh, yeah, I
forgot about that. So we're talking years now. But but
Durham is a solid guy and the right person you
want here, so hopefully he can't be manipulated in any way.
But as of now we're not hearing even a peep
about it. It makes you wonder if there's any there there. Yeah,

(01:14:57):
you know it just said, I mean, I've me conclude
that we don't have equal application of our laws. They
don't have equal justice under the law. You know. It
seems like Mark Simone, if you're a conservative and you
spit on the sidewalk or jaywalking in to prison. For years,
I mean, Horowitz were made referrals about top people in
the FBI lying to Congress, nothing ever happened to them

(01:15:20):
that same process crime that was that was what led
twenty nine people and frogmen and tactical gear and weapons
drawn and CNN cameras to Roger Stone's house, and they
wanted to put him away for a decade for the
same exact thing Harowitz is accusing FBI people love. Yeah,
flind of mine is having himself frozen and they can

(01:15:41):
wake him up in a hundred years. I said, why
would you do that? He said, I want to be
able to see the Durham report, so I'll ever get
to see this anyway, guys, listen, have a great holiday weekend.
Twenty five to the top of the hour. All right,
heading into a holiday weekend, what's my team got planned?
What are you all doing? I hope everybody will stop

(01:16:04):
and reflect and remember this is Memorial Day. It look,
we're all so tired, everybody I know. Anyway, everybody's so tired.
Everybody I know works so hard, and you know you
got we all have busy, busy lives. It's been a
hell of a tough year. The great news is this

(01:16:25):
Memorial Day weekend that we actually get to live normally again,
unless you're you know, a crazy liberal fanatic and that
is addicted to their mask. You know, but we can't
just just even if it's just a moment, you know,
to close your eyes and think and appreciate all the

(01:16:46):
love and sacrifice and pain and suffering that has gone
into us being able to have a long weekend to
barbecue with friends and family and drink beer and whatever
else we like to drink and have a great time
and maybe do nothing else. You know, there's a Bible.
There's a great Bible verse and it's in the Book

(01:17:07):
of John Greater Love hath no one than this, and
that is to lay down one's life for one's friends.
So many people have laid down their lives for all
of us. Linda, what are you doing this Memorial Day?
We're actually gonna go and pay homage to those who
have given the ultimate sacrifice. And we're gonna go to
Themorial Day parade and wave our American flags and pretend

(01:17:29):
that Joe Biden doesn't sit in the White House. Uh yeah, okay,
I like that too. So this now, we do me
one favor this holiday weekend. One, just one little favor.
Don't say it. Don't say it, Just don't say it.
You don't even know what I'm gonna say. I know
what you're gonna say. No, you don't know what I'm
gonna say. Can I take it? Contending to take a bet?
I guess yeah, I think you know what I'm gonna say.

(01:17:52):
Could you please? Is the happy meal? Right? Yes? Please?
Give little Liam? Just take them to McDonald's. What a
happy meal? By the you have choices, you get the
cheeseburger happy meal, the chicken nuggets happy meal, anything you know.
I will cook him something on our own grill, stupid
air frying grill crap. I didn't say it was an air.

(01:18:12):
I didn't even make an air friar grill. Now you're
just making stuff up air friar French fries. I mean
the oil taste delicious too. I had the oil also
is disgusting and bad for your arteries. Okay, have you
if you never deep frieda a turkey and a master
built butterball turkey friar? Did you actually put that video out?

(01:18:34):
You did? Didn't? It was me in the video, that's right.
I forgot about that. Oh yeah, you forgot about that. Yes,
it was like Thanksgiving Day. I remember getting that tweet
from you and saying or that text for me, and
like you saying, can you put this up on Twitter?
It takes one hour. If you fry a turkey in
peanut oil, it is the juiciest thing you've ever had.
Turkeys dry. And don't tell me you baste a turkey

(01:18:55):
better than anybody, because it doesn't matter. Well, for I
don't base a turkey. I cook it in a bag
and I see, isn't it? And it tastes one? You
cook it in a bag? Yeah, cook it in bags?
Poor kids. Have you never had turkey in a bag? No?
I don't cook turkey in a bag. A cook Turkey's
gonna cook some turkey in a bag for the master
built turkey for now. I even make, for example, occasionally

(01:19:17):
when I'm not being manorexic, as you call me um
all the time. It's really irritating. Actually, why that's not true?
I mean, I it's so true. You're so full of crap.
It's totally true. But the problem is is if I
eat what I want to eat, I'm gonna blow up
like a balloon. So I you know, you need to

(01:19:38):
eat in moderation. That's why when your mind, you watched
me diet for years until I finally found NJA diet,
and now I do modified NJ and intermit intermittent fasting.
You know, I do it intermittent fasting. Now listen. The
intermittent fasting is a good idea. I think that that's awesome.
But I also think that depriving yourself of things that

(01:19:59):
you love until like you know, you eat them in
like grand consumption. I just think it's silly. Just have
a little bit. No, I just refuse to have these
items in my house. Yeah, I know, yeah, that's it,
all right. And then you yell at people if they
send you anything, because everything, do you know? So Gomez
flies down to Nashville with us, right and oh he did,

(01:20:21):
that's awesome. Oh yeah, and you know and my other
buddy Rich Lochner from high school copy book. You know,
they came down. We had a great time. Anyway. So John,
and as you know, is married to Cindy. You know,
Cindy won the golf championship down She's fantastic. So she
makes this is like to me crack cocaine. She makes
the greatest carrot cake I've ever had in my life.

(01:20:44):
And no matter how many times, how many ways I
tell Cindy stop, I can't eat this, she sends either
the carrot cake or the best homemade chocolate chip cookies
you've ever had. And I had a whole box of
chocolate chip cookies last night. But see, this is your problem.
You deprive yourself, so then when you get it, no
good yourself. Just every day and you'll be fine. I absolutely,

(01:21:07):
I only had two and I left them. I gave
them to everybody eat the whole box. So is it
two or the whole box? On it brought a huge
box of them, and I only had two. No, way
you had too unbelieving. I swear to go ask o
mess I will ask him, Text him right now, text
I will. I'm going to Stephanie Louisiana. Glad you called. Hey, Sean,
thanks for taking my call. Thank you for call. I'll

(01:21:28):
try to be quick. I have had this question for
a while, and then the other day I read an
article in a certain magazine that pretty much says that
anyone who supported President Trump or voted for him needs
to be taking out of the conversation completely. Yeah. I
see this stuff all the time and don't pay attention

(01:21:49):
to it as nonsense. Here's my question to you, though,
is can you explain to me this absolute hatred and
viciousness for this man and that is now being put
upon his supporters because I don't understand that I have
been following politics. My first vote, I ever vote, my
first vote I ever cast was run on Reagan back

(01:22:12):
in the day, and I've watched it. It's gotten ugly,
but I've never seen it at discipline. Listen to you
and I we've been on the same track. I mean,
my first vote was for Reagan, and I will tell
you that it's it's something that you cannot explain it
is any irrational psychosis that has taken over the media mob,

(01:22:34):
the Democrats that never trumpers. I saw a quote of
Liz Cheney. I used to get along with Liz Cheney,
and you know, while the left, you know that now
love Liz Cheney. You know, that's the same group of
people that were calling her father daily a war criminal
and Bush and Cheney lied and people died, and they

(01:22:55):
were the ones wanting to put her father in jail
for his work at Ala Burton and allegations of impropriety
never ending. And also she was friends I'm sure which
Scooter Libby, our dad's chief of staff, that was in
fact convicted but pardoned by Donald Trump. The sentence was

(01:23:15):
only commuted by them. President Bush. She's actually out there
claiming my reelection will become a referendum on the Republican Party.
I'm like, well, Liz, with all due respect that I mean,
I don't dislike her, I just it's not personal. This
Your election will be a referendum on you and your
relationship with the people of Wyoming, and that's it. It's

(01:23:36):
not a referendum on the Republican Party. You're not the
Republican Party. Yeah, well, that's the second part of my question.
But back to my first question is is that I
don't get it. There has to be a reason. It
can't be power. They have all the power, I could
tell you part of it, every part of it, every
aspect of life. For the most part. The only thing
they don't have the power to do is to change

(01:23:58):
the will of seventy four million people. They cannot do that,
But they have the power in every other aspect of
life in America. And the viciousness is what do you
think that this has been since the day this man's
come down the escalator, culminating in two impeachments. And you

(01:24:19):
know also every law that they didn't follow in twenty
twenty and they took full advantage of COVID for their
own benefit. That's why state legislatures need to do everything
in their power to make sure it doesn't happen again.
In my view, I've laid out the five items that
I think need to be done immediately. But but to
answer your question is, I've never met somebody he Donald

(01:24:41):
Trump is an America voted for a disruptor. They voted
for the antithesis of the typical establishment swamp creature, and
he exposed the muck and the mud and the slime
and the sleeves that is DC. And he fights like
hell and they didn't like it. They don't like And
I've never met a man that has an uncanny ability

(01:25:03):
to live in people's heads. They still talk about him
every day, whether he says anything or doesn't say anything.
That's why I believe they're going after him so hard
in New York. They want him out forever. That has
to be against the law. They're on a fishing expedition
and I did not think legally you could do that. Yeah,
But a question, the second part of my question to

(01:25:25):
you is when you when you mentioned Liz Cheney. I've
been listening to you, and you say, we have to
continue to fight. You can't be down in the domes.
You can't give up. But the Republican Party, but the
exception of one or two that we could probably name together,
has been silent. Who are we supposed to be fighting for?
Because if I had my way, we wipe out all

(01:25:48):
of them and start over. But you know, I know
that's impossible because the Democrats would win in a landslide.
But who do you root for? The lines are so
blurred now you don't even know anymore. Listen, I think
I fear your passion. But it's what you're sensing is
is that you've got these major institutions. And I appreciate

(01:26:11):
the call. I really do what I what Stephanie is
expressing here is something that I tried to warn about
before the election. Yeah, powerful institutions, big tech, the media, mob,
the Democratic Party. They're all united in this psychotic passion
of theirs to destroy any and all things conservative and
Donald Trump. You know, Reagan had it to a far

(01:26:32):
lesser extent, but he was he was he had Stylistically,
it was so different than Donald Trump, and you know,
but they didn't refer to him. This didn't come from
Democrats and amiable Dunce. That came from Republicans because Reagan
was too conservative for the establishment. Then the Gerald Ford wing,
the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. So this has

(01:26:53):
been an ongoing battle. Trump brings it to a head
because he's so direct about it. Now. I personally like
that that in your face style. Maybe a little less
would probably be better, a little bit wiser, more strategic,
but I like it. I grew up in New York,
and I'm not going to feign outrage when I hear
a cuss word. I'm not going to feign outrage when

(01:27:16):
people attack me because I don't feel it. And I
think there's a lot of acting going on that they
stand back sanctimoniously to the point where they justify their
own irrational behaviors and lying and spreading of conspiracy theories
and hoaxes, and when they take on spectacular double standards

(01:27:38):
like ignoring quid pro quote Joe and zero experience Hunter
because they like Joe. Okay, anyway, David Long Island, New York.
What's up, David? How are you? Hi? Sean good to
seek this? Another person from New York, I call the
question I was calling in about voter ID laws and

(01:28:00):
actions for our election. Um, my question is what makes
voter ID laws more efficacious as opposed to the things
we already have? Is it because it's before um the
ballots are cast, because we kind of saw, you know
that with the hearings that they had with our part
of things. Well, it's it's simple. The idea is one person,

(01:28:20):
one vote, right, sure, Okay, So you don't you don't
want this concept, this idea of what they call ballot harvesting?
You you need you need an ID to get into
the Democratic National Convention or the White House or the
capital or uh, do you drink beer? David? Do you like?
Do you do you like to buy beer or wine?

(01:28:41):
Or or I don't know, Tito's or something Catholic? Okay,
there you go, All right? Don't you need an ID
to get when you go to buy that? Don't you
need an ID? Well? Absolutely so? But ques so you
need an ID for everything? So why I would turn
the question on you? Why would you? Why would people
be against that? If it if, if it increases the

(01:29:01):
confidence and election results and results in more integrity in
the election process, well I'm not against that. So my
question is mainly, do we have to focus more on
protecting the security of our elections before the ballots are
harvests our cast as opposed to ask? I think these
changes need to be institutionalized so that the American people

(01:29:25):
will have confidence and election results and that the process
is one that has transparency and integrity. Very quickly, the
five things voter ID, signature, verification, chain of custody control
when ballots come in. I think you need to always
clean up the voter rolls every election season, and most

(01:29:47):
states have statutory language that allow partisan observers to watch
the entire vote counting process. That didn't happen in twenty twenty.
That's all I think. I don't think that's unreasonable. I
think that protects everybody, both sides, all sides, all political
points of view, and it adds to integrity. But anyway,

(01:30:08):
I hope that answers your question. All Right, that's gonna
