Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number the Super Bowl Sunday weekend, eight hundred
and ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be
a part of the program, we'll get into this. This
whole discussion that did unpolled earlier in the week. When
I asked Linda a simple question and I cannot get
(00:21):
her to just acknowledge that she's wrong, I think I
think we'll put a poll up on Hannity dot com. Wait,
when I ask a simple question, how many points do
you get when you kick a field goal? Here's the exchange.
I didn't know what an extra point is.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You were going, perhaps this is now.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You didn't know how many points do you get for
a field How many foot points you get for a
field goal?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sometimes one, sometimes two?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Wrong? Sometimes wrong answer? No, it was the wrong answer,
and she will not admit it. And then we'll get
back into that later in the program. By the way,
you're going to stand by that answer. I'm just curious
to give a preview of coming attractions here. Yes, I
do you stand by that answer that for a field
goal sometimes one, sometimes one? Point sometimes two. And then
(01:13):
when I said wrong, then you add sometimes three. You're
standing by the answer.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I didn't add that.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I know we'll get into.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Which is what you do. And I wasn't done.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Talking, of course I do. I'm a talk showt my job.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I tell you what. That's why you're number one.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So I was in the middle of getting to three
and you interrupted between two and three.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So here's the problem. For a field goal. There's only
one answer. It's not sometimes one. It's not it's not
sometimes true field goal.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You know, it's just it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Little there's only one field goals in football. Only one.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And listen, and you shall know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I do know the truth. My truth is?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Is that my truth? What do you mean my truth is?
What does that mean my truth? Do you sound like
a leftist? You need?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's very rude. Don't say that.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You might as well just call me the devil himself
at the end of the day, I know, I mean
a very specials My god.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm gonna you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You don't even need a football jersey, you need like
king interruptor. I'm literally gonna get you that's what I'm
getting you next Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
No, I want to answer.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
In your world.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, in my world, I call field goal in the
real meanings.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
In the real world, there's only one answer, how many
points do you get for a football? For a football?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
When there's only one right answer, end of the field,
there are different types of points that you get for.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
A field goal is not an extra point.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
A goal.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Field goal is not a two point conversion, right well,
fl goal.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Field goals that you get on the field, So sometimes
you get them with your feet, sometimes you throw them
with your hands, sometimes you get it after a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All these things have different names, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
If you watch my TV show tonight, If well, then
why don't you admit you just got it wrong and
we can move on?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, I didn't get it wrong. The answer is right,
it's just what you call it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No, it's not what there's only no no, no. Everybody
calls it. The NFL calls it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Here you go, like the Irish people call saus over
spaghetti sauce, but Italian people call it gravy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's the same thing. It's just a different name. Now,
is one wrong as one right?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We'll get We'll get into this later. I I am
going to I don't know what frustrates me more. You know,
this insanity of what we discovered this week with us
AID and USAID whatever you want to call it, I mean,
and the Democrats doubling down on this stupidity. You know,
(03:56):
we this is only one agency, and all of this
money that was taken from you, the American taxpayer, and
abused by these corrupt politicians, and the fact that they
went through great pains to hide all of this from you,
(04:17):
the American people. The average American makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year. Okay, that's not a lot of money,
and people are struggling to make ends meet. Things have
gotten particularly hard. We have fifty six percent of the
country sixty six percent that if they had a thousand
dollars emergency, that it would be catastrophic for them. They
(04:41):
wouldn't be able to deal with a one thousand dollars emergency.
And that can happen easily to somebody. And I know
what it's like. I live paycheck to paycheck. It's not fun.
And you know, through the grace of God and hard
work and persistence, you know, I was able to get
into a more you know, stable financial position. But you
(05:02):
know it takes time and persistence, and you know, you
gotta you gotta have a willingness to work. But I
mean the idea that you know, they feel that this
is justified. And then they then they've completely lost their
mind this week. And we'll get back into that, you know,
throughout the course of the program, you know today, And
(05:23):
it's unbelievable. Send James out if you can. And anyway,
so it's gotten so bad. They want to defend all
of this foreign international money on an agenda that is
can be summed up by woke, radical green new deal,
you know, transgenderism, DEI initiatives, abortion, and it goes on
(05:47):
from there. And and this this has been a great
week for Republicans. And I'm going to tell you why.
As they lash out at Donald Trump and they lash
out at Elon Musk, who who did both of whom
did this country a great service, they showed you how
little respect they have for you and your family, your
(06:09):
hard work and the money you make and your tax
dollars that you pay them. This is pretty unbelievable, you know,
sixty six point nine million, you know, for transition initiatives
for stabilization plus a program to increase stability in Somalia.
We just bombed Somalia because ISIS terrorists were there. What
(06:31):
is wrong with these people? Forty eight point four million
for an International Business Initiatives Corporation to support building the
capacity of targeted government Liberian ministries. It's it's it's insane,
this is madness. And anyway, four year, thirty eight million
(06:52):
dollar contract to an undisclosed domestic entity. This is for Ukraine.
God knows the amount of money we get to the
bottom of Ukraine spending. It is that too, will shock
the conscience, you know. Sixty six million for the Iraq
Access to Justice Program. Twenty seven point four million. By
(07:12):
the way, I don't know what this chemonics company is,
but they keep showing up. They made a fortune. They
made a fortune from USAID. Never heard of this company before.
Fifty three point eight million, you know, for biodiversity and
climate change consulting services in West Africa. Twelve point eight
million dollars to African Latin America, Asian Resistance for Climate Change,
(07:36):
thirty one point two million for climate change adaptation and
water consulting services. Forty two million to support the ability
to plan, implement, communicate, effective programming and climate change biodiversity, environment,
energy and infrastructure sectors. What is all of this crap
(07:58):
but another forty million dollars UNISEF to galvanize the international
community to come together to prevent the collapse of the
education system in Afghanistan when America's educational system is collapsing
before our eyes. You know, another seven point two million
safeguarding civic rights and freedoms in Afghanistan with a taliband
(08:22):
Are you kidding me? How stupid are we? Four point
nine million you know, you know to work on climate
resilience and renewable energy for Guatemalan entrepreneurs. Three hundred and
eleven million dollars for multi sectorals nutritional activity in Nigeria.
(08:47):
You don't think Americans that work hard on an average
and make sixty six grand a year should we be
abusing their tax dollars this way? No, the answer is no,
we should not. One hundred million to improve the conditions
of conflict affected rural areas in a sustainable manner in Columbia,
(09:08):
South America, you know, nine points and then we have
one hundred and nine million dollars to support power Africa
Program and the Nigeria one hundred and nine million. Why
don't we spend that on American veterans? Why don't we
spend that on the people and impacted by Hurricane Helene
in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida that need help.
(09:33):
You know. It's a twenty nine point five million, five
year program, you know, for for biodiversity conservation, global climate
change mitigation in Honduras. Eleven million dollars. Get this for
China for cooperative agreement for US China clean energy and
(09:54):
a climate partnership to be carried out in China. They're
building coal powered fire plant, coal powered what do you
call them? Power plants in China. They're building five of
them this year. Why are we given China a dime?
Why did FAUCI and the NIH give them money? You know,
(10:14):
to the knowing through the Eco Health Alliance fifty nine
million to enable grain and oil seed farmers, you know,
including those and marginalized and underserved groups, with special focus
on the disadvantage female farmers. In Ukraine, this is madness.
Forty nine million, you know, to help Ukrainians, including you know,
(10:38):
vulnerable marginalized populations two million for to strengthen trans led
organizations to deliver gender affirming healthcare, Advocate for improved quality
access services you know, and empowerment opportunities in Guatemala. Two
(10:58):
million to strengthen human rights, information, integrity, equality democracy for
LGBTQ plus population in the Western Balkans, you know. Another
million for an LGBTQ advisor position, I mean two million
(11:19):
dollars to help with HIV epidemic control for key vulnerable population,
sex workers, their clients, their kids, men who have sex
with men, and transgender in the Congo. Why why are
we spending taxpayer dollars on this? And this is and
I have, you know, eight more pages to read. I'm
(11:40):
not even I'm not even touching the surface here. And
then never forget the twenty million for the Sesame street
show in Iraq, the fifty six million to boost Egyptian
and Tunisian tourism. Forty million dollars to build schools in
Jordan we have crappy schools here, and eleven million to
tell the Vietnamese to stop burning trash. Forty five million
(12:01):
for DEI scholarships in Burma, five hundred and twenty million
for consultants driven ESG investments in Africa, and don't forget
we're paying for DEI musicals in Ireland and two point
five million for electric vehicles in Vietnam, and a transgender
opera in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru and
(12:25):
two point five million for DEI in in Serbia. I
mean this, are you not getting angry because you should
be pretty pissed off because that's money that belongs in
your pocket, that's money that belongs for your kid's future.
And you wonder why we have forty trillion dollars in debt.
(12:46):
You wonder why we have forty four point eight million,
you know, so in in economic support for Venezuelan illegal
immigrants in Colombia. How insane is that? All of this
is insane? Millions you know, being spent for the Office
of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, you know,
(13:08):
for indigenous people's Afro Colombians, women, LGBTQ, he IQ plus
I don't even know what. I can't even keep up
with all the letters anymore. I don't even know what
they mean. You know, then you have the twenty four
million for green transportation in the country at Georgia twenty
(13:29):
nine million for agricultural trade Diversification program in Georgia, eighteen
point nine million for financial innovation programs in Georgia, twenty
point seven million to promote citizen oriented justice in Georgia,
twenty four million for a Green Economy Program contract award
in Georgia. Nearly five million in societal resilience in the
(13:54):
face of disinformation in Kazakhstad. Oh my gosh, man, this
pisses me off. I am sorry. If you work hard,
play by the rules, pay your taxes, you're the people
that get up hard, raise your kids. You know you
go off work, you're twelve fourteen hour day, You try
(14:14):
and tutor your kids, you feed your kids. You just
climb into bed. You barely can keep your eyes open.
You deserve better than this. And this is one agency.
Just wait. This is why they hate Elon Musk. This
is why I love Elon Musk. I like him even
more than I did before. We'll talk about him on
(14:36):
the other side. I want to deal with Elon Musk
for a second, because there's been a lot of hate
directed in his direction, in his direction, and you think
about what this man has done and accomplished in his life.
It is. It's remarkable. You know, there's a series. I
think it's on the History Channel. It's on one of
(14:57):
those channels. I don't know which one. You can look
it up. And it's about the men that built America,
the Henry Fords of the world, and the Carnegie and
the Melons and the Rockefellers. I'm not talking about what
these families have become. And I understand for those of
you that you know don't believe in globalism. Nobody wants
out of globalist organizations more than me. But however, you
(15:21):
know the things that they did to build the railway
and automobiles and energy in those countries, it's really remarkable.
And they were the real innovators in their time. Well,
we have an innovator in our time, and his name
is Elon Musk. I don't know Elon Musk. I don't
know them. I've talked to him, I've had a good
conversation with him. I like him. But I'm watching him volunteer,
(15:46):
you know, for his country to do exactly what he's
done this week. And this is only one small agency,
and we find that these billions and billions of dollars
when it's all said and done, We're going to find
hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe over a trillion, maybe more.
I don't know of all this ridiculous, wasteful, fraudulent, corrupt,
(16:12):
disgustingly corrupt abuse of your hard earned tax dollars. And
Democrats are screaming like bloody murder. He's not elected. No,
he's not elected. He was appointed by the president. He volunteered,
he's not getting paid. You you listened to them and
their friends in the state run legacy media mob, you'd
think he satan and that his intentions are all he's
(16:34):
an unelected billionaire. You're right, he's not elected. Nobody in
Trump's cabinet was elected. They were appointed by the president,
and the President would like to restore this country to
constitutional order, and that means limited government, greater freedom envisioned
by our founders and our framers of this country. You know,
Republicans for so many decades have given lip service to
(16:58):
you know, cutting back on way fraud and abuse and
cutting the size and scope and influence of government. There's
never been any real attemptiver the Republican Party to do it.
And now it's happening, and every Republican should be doing
backflips and be happy, and we should be happy. And
somebody like Elon Musk is willing to do this for
(17:22):
his country. He's the richest man in the world. I
saw an estema. I think he's worth over five hundred
billion dollars. Good for him. I'm not jealous or resentful
that people are successful in his life. Then you look
at obviously he's a genius. He's a self made billionaire,
a first generation billionaire, you know, a first generation immigrant
(17:45):
from South Africa. He embodies the American dream in every way,
in a shape, manner and form. I just want to
set the record straight on this guy. And I love
that American dream. I love the fact that that Elon
Musk is is sacrificing for our country and willing to
(18:08):
give to our country as much as he's willing to
give to our country. I really am. I think we're
very very blessed, and I think we're very fortunate that
he's willing to do all of this, because we're all
going to be the beneficiaries of all of this, and
we're going to finally, you know, root out the corruption
that is within our government, and we need to do
so and do so desperately. And that's what's happening right
(18:31):
before our eyes. And why is the left freaking out?
Because they're losing their power and this was their way
of advancing their radicalism. What is their radicalism? Their radicalism
is you know, this green New Deal, which is you know, socialism, Marxism, statism, redistributionism,
just given a green name. Their woke agenda, you know,
(18:55):
their their trans everything agenda, the DEI agenda, their abortion agenda.
I just went through all the money you know that
they've been spending. But this isn't This is not for Americans.
When American schools are deteriorating, when we have to deport
criminals from all over the country, known terrorists, cartel members, murderers, rapists,
(19:16):
at a time when we need to save social Security
and Medicare, at a time we need to have paid
down the forty trillion dollars in debt that that both
parties have put on our children and our grandchildren. And
you know, you may not even realize this. I said
this on TV last night. Every one of you, your
(19:37):
life has been impacted by a guy by the name
of Elon Musk and the fact that they hate him
number one because he's associated with Trump. They hate him
for that reason, but they hate him more because he
exposed them. He exposed they've they've been hiding all of this.
They know what they've been doing. You know, go back
(19:58):
to his entire career. This guy revolutionized electronic banking with PayPal.
He created a new form of high speed internet using
low orbit satellites you know which it's called starlink, which
is amazing, you know, making fast, reliable internet accessible anywhere
on Earth. Even helped the Ukrainians out, and he helped
(20:22):
the people in North Carolina out and Tennessee out after
Hurricane Helene. And he did it for free. And he
did the same thing. It provided the only form of
communication during the aftermath of the hurricane and the aftermath
of the fires out in California. He did that for free.
He reinvented space travel with SpaceX. Now he's planning on
(20:42):
going to Mars sometime by the end of next month.
It's not NASA, it's going to be Elon Musk that
tries to rescue these American astronauts that have been in
space for nearly three hundred days. He's going to go
save them. Thank you, Elon. We should say thank you.
(21:02):
We should say thank you for informing us and being transparent.
And in the coming months, you know, spacexual will make
this daring rescue. Biden and Harris, you know, abandoned and
en stranded these people for nearly three hundred days. They
were only supposed to be there eight days. He spearheaded
(21:23):
the development of affordable, high performance electric vehicles through Tesla.
I thought liberals liked electric vehicles. Apparently they don't like
Elon must They they hate being exposed and hate that
he's with Donald Trump more than they love their their
precious electric vehicles. I have no problem with electric vehicles,
says If I was ever going to buy an electric vehicle,
(21:43):
I would want to buy a Tesla. First of all,
I have friends that own them, and they love them,
and they swear by them. But I would buy it
just because of all that he's done for the country.
You know, there's also you know, his life altering Neurolink,
you know, the company that could one day solve our
traffic problem. I mean, I don't even have a hard
(22:07):
time these people that are so brilliant. I have a
hard time understanding how deep they think. And I'm fascinated
by it. Actually, you know, and Elon Musk doesn't need
this crap. He doesn't need to hear people shrill all
over television and all over the halls of Congress. He's
(22:27):
worth his billions and billions of dollars. He doesn't need
to work another day in his life by any stretch
of the imagination. You know, as Trump would say, You know,
he could be on a tropical beach enjoying life. But
he decided to do this for the country that gave
so much to him. And I respect him for it,
and I'm grateful for it. And you know he's he's
(22:49):
found a way to pour through the numbers and the
data and expose this federal bureaucracy and root out this waste,
fraud and abuse of your hard earned tax dollars. Now
you think he's doing this for himself, No, he's not
benefiting from this. No, he's getting he's getting the crap
(23:09):
kicked out of him every day in the in the
state run legacy medium mob. You think he's doing this
for any nefarious motive, No he's not. Is he going
to go save the astronauts because you know, for any
other reason they need to be saved and he can
do it. I have every confidence he'll be able to
(23:29):
do it, and I pray that that is a successful
recovery mission. And I think he's come to love this
country and understands it's the last great It's the greatest
country God ever gave man, and the last great hope
from man on this earth. And we have an opportunity
that maybe comes around once every hundred years, one hundred
and fifty years, and Donald Trump is put in place
(23:52):
away to end Washington's out of controlled bureaucracy from top
to bottom, and we can hit the reset button and
return to constitutional order. You know, we don't need all
these government agencies and programs and reckless foreign spending, you know,
(24:13):
all the abuse of your tax dollars. The average American
makes sixty six grand a year, and they then you see,
you know, billions and billions of dollars being spent on
Woke and DEI and Green New Deal and transgenderism and
LGBTQ and abortion in every other country but ours, and
(24:34):
what have we We've been watching unelected and elected bureaucrats
wasting all of this money, and now they tried to
hide it. He got access to where they really spent
the money and he shared it with the American people
by being transparent and the the establishment if you will,
(24:54):
the swamp, if you will, screaming bloody murder, and you know,
all the DEI seminars and the transgender plays and even
ten million dollars on meals for Al Kaita linked terrorists
and another favorite of mine, the biggest financial scandal in
American history. And it's only phase one and there's going
(25:17):
to be many, many phases to this. Instead of being
thankful and I'm grateful to Elon Musk for doing this,
he doesn't have to do this. I'm grateful. I'm grateful
for Donald Trump and him helping Donald Trump win. I'm
grateful that he's willing to serve his country this way.
I'm sorry that he has to go through all this crap.
(25:39):
You know. Welcome, Welcome to the world of being a
political public figure. I know all about it. And the
Democrats hate him for it. They hate him, and I'll
tell you what would he exposed more than anything that
they don't care. Democrats have claimed that they have a
monopoly of compassion on the working men and women of
(26:00):
this country, and we're going after the billionaire as well.
The billionaire is going to save you more money than
any Democrat has ever saved in their entire you know,
however long they've served. Combined, we discovered last year two
hundred and thirty six billion dollars Biden spent on improper payments.
That's a quarter of a billion dollars plus. We have
(26:23):
homeless vets, we have Social Security and medicare going towards insolvency.
We have a broken educational system. You know, we have
police departments that need to hire police and and to
keep our towns in cities safe. We need border patrol,
we need air traffic controllers. You know, we need to
(26:44):
build out and get all of the wealth of energy
that we have in this country. Anyway, it's it's disgusting
how they're treating this guy. Kamala lost Trump one. He
sets the agenda, he leads the executive brand bench. He
legally rightly appointed Elon to do this. Elon accepted, and
(27:06):
now it's time to clean out all the federal employees
that are unwilling to carry out the president's agenda and
those that have corrupted our institutions, stolen our future from
our kids and our grandkids, and be good stewards for you,
the hard working Americans, the people that really do make
this country great. Every American's conscience should be shocked at
(27:26):
what we learned this week. Disgusting. We should get a refund,
We should demand every country pay that money back. Anyway,
one way to save money and was still under the
Harris Biden economy, to save money in these tough economic
times and not sacrifice service. Make the switch to my
cell phone. Provide a pure talk a vetro own company.
(27:47):
Now the beauty is they use the same exact five
G network, the same exact cell towers. You get the
same exact service, and you pay half the price. Average
family saves close to one thousand bucks a year. That's
real money. You can also get had a free phone
from like the big carriers Verizon, AT and T and
T Mobile, but you're gonna get it for less than
half the price. And you know whether you want an
(28:08):
iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy, you'll get it for free
with a qualifying plan of forty five bucks a month
that includes unlimited talk and text, twenty five gigs of data,
mobile hotspot roaming, and instead of one hundred plus dollars
a month, you're going to pay forty five and you
get your free phone. Make the switch. It's simple, fast
and easy. Take your cell dial, pound two fifty, say
(28:31):
the keyword save now. Claim your new iPhone or Galaxy
with a qualifying purchase and pound two to fifty keywords
save now. From Puretalk. They're America's wireless company, Bold Inspired
Solutions for America. Sean Hannity is on, all right, when
(28:56):
we come back, a whistleblower for us AID or USAID
is gonna join us. Guy lost his job and they
made false charges against the guy. And we've got to
resolve whether or not Linda answered the question properly or
not on you know how many points you get for
a field goal. We got to resolve. But it's Super
(29:17):
Bowl Sunday weekend.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number the Super Bowl Sunday weekend, eight hundred
and ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be
a part of the program, we'll get into this. This
whole discussion that did unpolled earlier in the week. When
I asked Linda a simple question and I cannot get
(00:21):
her to just acknowledge that she's wrong, I think I
think we'll put a poll up on Hannity dot com. Wait,
when I ask a simple question, how many points do
you get when you kick a field goal? Here's the exchange.
I didn't know what an extra point is.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You were going, perhaps this is now.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You didn't know how many points do you get for
a field How many foot points you get for a
field goal?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sometimes one, sometimes two?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Wrong? Sometimes wrong answer? No, it was the wrong answer,
and she will not admit it. And then we'll get
back into that later in the program. By the way,
you're going to stand by that answer. I'm just curious
to give a preview of coming attractions here. Yes, I
do you stand by that answer that for a field
goal sometimes one, sometimes one? Point sometimes two. And then
(01:13):
when I said wrong, then you add sometimes three. You're
standing by the answer.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I didn't add that.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I know we'll get into.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Which is what you do. And I wasn't done.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Talking, of course I do. I'm a talk showt my job.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I tell you what. That's why you're number one.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So I was in the middle of getting to three
and you interrupted between two and three.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So here's the problem. For a field goal. There's only
one answer. It's not sometimes one. It's not it's not
sometimes true field goal.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You know, it's just it's a.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Little there's only one field goals in football. Only one.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And listen, and you shall know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I do know the truth. My truth is?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Is that my truth? What do you mean my truth is?
What does that mean my truth? Do you sound like
a leftist? You need?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
That's very rude. Don't say that.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
You might as well just call me the devil himself
at the end of the day, I know, I mean
a very specials My god.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm gonna you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You don't even need a football jersey, you need like
king interruptor. I'm literally gonna get you that's what I'm
getting you next Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
No, I want to answer.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
In your world.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, in my world, I call field goal in the
real meanings.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
In the real world, there's only one answer, how many
points do you get for a football? For a football?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
When there's only one right answer, end of the field,
there are different types of points that you get for.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
A field goal is not an extra point.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
A goal.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Field goal is not a two point conversion, right well,
fl goal.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Field goals that you get on the field, So sometimes
you get them with your feet, sometimes you throw them
with your hands, sometimes you get it after a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All these things have different names, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
If you watch my TV show tonight, If well, then
why don't you admit you just got it wrong and
we can move on?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, I didn't get it wrong. The answer is right,
it's just what you call it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No, it's not what there's only no no, no. Everybody
calls it. The NFL calls it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Here you go, like the Irish people call saus over
spaghetti sauce, but Italian people call it gravy.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's the same thing. It's just a different name. Now,
is one wrong as one right?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We'll get We'll get into this later. I I am
going to I don't know what frustrates me more. You know,
this insanity of what we discovered this week with us
AID and USAID whatever you want to call it, I mean,
and the Democrats doubling down on this stupidity. You know,
(03:56):
we this is only one agency, and all of this
money that was taken from you, the American taxpayer, and
abused by these corrupt politicians, and the fact that they
went through great pains to hide all of this from you,
(04:17):
the American people. The average American makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year. Okay, that's not a lot of money,
and people are struggling to make ends meet. Things have
gotten particularly hard. We have fifty six percent of the
country sixty six percent that if they had a thousand
dollars emergency, that it would be catastrophic for them. They
(04:41):
wouldn't be able to deal with a one thousand dollars emergency.
And that can happen easily to somebody. And I know
what it's like. I live paycheck to paycheck. It's not fun.
And you know, through the grace of God and hard
work and persistence, you know, I was able to get
into a more you know, stable financial position. But you
(05:02):
know it takes time and persistence, and you know, you
gotta you gotta have a willingness to work. But I
mean the idea that you know, they feel that this
is justified. And then they then they've completely lost their
mind this week. And we'll get back into that, you know,
throughout the course of the program, you know today, And
(05:23):
it's unbelievable. Send James out if you can. And anyway,
so it's gotten so bad. They want to defend all
of this foreign international money on an agenda that is
can be summed up by woke, radical green new deal,
you know, transgenderism, DEI initiatives, abortion, and it goes on
(05:47):
from there. And and this this has been a great
week for Republicans. And I'm going to tell you why.
As they lash out at Donald Trump and they lash
out at Elon Musk, who who did both of whom
did this country a great service, they showed you how
little respect they have for you and your family, your
(06:09):
hard work and the money you make and your tax
dollars that you pay them. This is pretty unbelievable, you know,
sixty six point nine million, you know, for transition initiatives
for stabilization plus a program to increase stability in Somalia.
We just bombed Somalia because ISIS terrorists were there. What
(06:31):
is wrong with these people? Forty eight point four million
for an International Business Initiatives Corporation to support building the
capacity of targeted government Liberian ministries. It's it's it's insane,
this is madness. And anyway, four year, thirty eight million
(06:52):
dollar contract to an undisclosed domestic entity. This is for Ukraine.
God knows the amount of money we get to the
bottom of Ukraine spending. It is that too, will shock
the conscience, you know. Sixty six million for the Iraq
Access to Justice Program. Twenty seven point four million. By
(07:12):
the way, I don't know what this chemonics company is,
but they keep showing up. They made a fortune. They
made a fortune from USAID. Never heard of this company before.
Fifty three point eight million, you know, for biodiversity and
climate change consulting services in West Africa. Twelve point eight
million dollars to African Latin America, Asian Resistance for Climate Change,
(07:36):
thirty one point two million for climate change adaptation and
water consulting services. Forty two million to support the ability
to plan, implement, communicate, effective programming and climate change biodiversity, environment,
energy and infrastructure sectors. What is all of this crap
(07:58):
but another forty million dollars UNISEF to galvanize the international
community to come together to prevent the collapse of the
education system in Afghanistan when America's educational system is collapsing
before our eyes. You know, another seven point two million
safeguarding civic rights and freedoms in Afghanistan with a taliband
(08:22):
Are you kidding me? How stupid are we? Four point
nine million you know, you know to work on climate
resilience and renewable energy for Guatemalan entrepreneurs. Three hundred and
eleven million dollars for multi sectorals nutritional activity in Nigeria.
(08:47):
You don't think Americans that work hard on an average
and make sixty six grand a year should we be
abusing their tax dollars this way? No, the answer is no,
we should not. One hundred million to improve the conditions
of conflict affected rural areas in a sustainable manner in Columbia,
(09:08):
South America, you know, nine points and then we have
one hundred and nine million dollars to support power Africa
Program and the Nigeria one hundred and nine million. Why
don't we spend that on American veterans? Why don't we
spend that on the people and impacted by Hurricane Helene
in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida that need help.
(09:33):
You know. It's a twenty nine point five million, five
year program, you know, for for biodiversity conservation, global climate
change mitigation in Honduras. Eleven million dollars. Get this for
China for cooperative agreement for US China clean energy and
(09:54):
a climate partnership to be carried out in China. They're
building coal powered fire plant, coal powered what do you
call them? Power plants in China. They're building five of
them this year. Why are we given China a dime?
Why did FAUCI and the NIH give them money? You know,
(10:14):
to the knowing through the Eco Health Alliance fifty nine
million to enable grain and oil seed farmers, you know,
including those and marginalized and underserved groups, with special focus
on the disadvantage female farmers. In Ukraine, this is madness.
Forty nine million, you know, to help Ukrainians, including you know,
(10:38):
vulnerable marginalized populations two million for to strengthen trans led
organizations to deliver gender affirming healthcare, Advocate for improved quality
access services you know, and empowerment opportunities in Guatemala. Two
(10:58):
million to strengthen human rights, information, integrity, equality democracy for
LGBTQ plus population in the Western Balkans, you know. Another
million for an LGBTQ advisor position, I mean two million
(11:19):
dollars to help with HIV epidemic control for key vulnerable population,
sex workers, their clients, their kids, men who have sex
with men, and transgender in the Congo. Why why are
we spending taxpayer dollars on this? And this is and
I have, you know, eight more pages to read. I'm
(11:40):
not even I'm not even touching the surface here. And
then never forget the twenty million for the Sesame street
show in Iraq, the fifty six million to boost Egyptian
and Tunisian tourism. Forty million dollars to build schools in
Jordan we have crappy schools here, and eleven million to
tell the Vietnamese to stop burning trash. Forty five million
(12:01):
for DEI scholarships in Burma, five hundred and twenty million
for consultants driven ESG investments in Africa, and don't forget
we're paying for DEI musicals in Ireland and two point
five million for electric vehicles in Vietnam, and a transgender
opera in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru and
(12:25):
two point five million for DEI in in Serbia. I
mean this, are you not getting angry because you should
be pretty pissed off because that's money that belongs in
your pocket, that's money that belongs for your kid's future.
And you wonder why we have forty trillion dollars in debt.
(12:46):
You wonder why we have forty four point eight million,
you know, so in in economic support for Venezuelan illegal
immigrants in Colombia. How insane is that? All of this
is insane? Millions you know, being spent for the Office
of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, you know,
(13:08):
for indigenous people's Afro Colombians, women, LGBTQ, he IQ plus
I don't even know what. I can't even keep up
with all the letters anymore. I don't even know what
they mean. You know, then you have the twenty four
million for green transportation in the country at Georgia twenty
(13:29):
nine million for agricultural trade Diversification program in Georgia, eighteen
point nine million for financial innovation programs in Georgia, twenty
point seven million to promote citizen oriented justice in Georgia,
twenty four million for a Green Economy Program contract award
in Georgia. Nearly five million in societal resilience in the
(13:54):
face of disinformation in Kazakhstad. Oh my gosh, man, this
pisses me off. I am sorry. If you work hard,
play by the rules, pay your taxes, you're the people
that get up hard, raise your kids. You know you
go off work, you're twelve fourteen hour day, You try
(14:14):
and tutor your kids, you feed your kids. You just
climb into bed. You barely can keep your eyes open.
You deserve better than this. And this is one agency.
Just wait. This is why they hate Elon Musk. This
is why I love Elon Musk. I like him even
more than I did before. We'll talk about him on
(14:36):
the other side. I want to deal with Elon Musk
for a second, because there's been a lot of hate
directed in his direction, in his direction, and you think
about what this man has done and accomplished in his life.
It is. It's remarkable. You know, there's a series. I
think it's on the History Channel. It's on one of
(14:57):
those channels. I don't know which one. You can look
it up. And it's about the men that built America,
the Henry Fords of the world, and the Carnegie and
the Melons and the Rockefellers. I'm not talking about what
these families have become. And I understand for those of
you that you know don't believe in globalism. Nobody wants
out of globalist organizations more than me. But however, you
(15:21):
know the things that they did to build the railway
and automobiles and energy in those countries, it's really remarkable.
And they were the real innovators in their time. Well,
we have an innovator in our time, and his name
is Elon Musk. I don't know Elon Musk. I don't
know them. I've talked to him, I've had a good
conversation with him. I like him. But I'm watching him volunteer,
(15:46):
you know, for his country to do exactly what he's
done this week. And this is only one small agency,
and we find that these billions and billions of dollars
when it's all said and done, We're going to find
hundreds of billions of dollars, maybe over a trillion, maybe more.
I don't know of all this ridiculous, wasteful, fraudulent, corrupt,
(16:12):
disgustingly corrupt abuse of your hard earned tax dollars. And
Democrats are screaming like bloody murder. He's not elected. No,
he's not elected. He was appointed by the president. He volunteered,
he's not getting paid. You you listened to them and
their friends in the state run legacy media mob, you'd
think he satan and that his intentions are all he's
(16:34):
an unelected billionaire. You're right, he's not elected. Nobody in
Trump's cabinet was elected. They were appointed by the president,
and the President would like to restore this country to
constitutional order, and that means limited government, greater freedom envisioned
by our founders and our framers of this country. You know,
Republicans for so many decades have given lip service to
(16:58):
you know, cutting back on way fraud and abuse and
cutting the size and scope and influence of government. There's
never been any real attemptiver the Republican Party to do it.
And now it's happening, and every Republican should be doing
backflips and be happy, and we should be happy. And
somebody like Elon Musk is willing to do this for
(17:22):
his country. He's the richest man in the world. I
saw an estema. I think he's worth over five hundred
billion dollars. Good for him. I'm not jealous or resentful
that people are successful in his life. Then you look
at obviously he's a genius. He's a self made billionaire,
a first generation billionaire, you know, a first generation immigrant
(17:45):
from South Africa. He embodies the American dream in every way,
in a shape, manner and form. I just want to
set the record straight on this guy. And I love
that American dream. I love the fact that that Elon
Musk is is sacrificing for our country and willing to
(18:08):
give to our country as much as he's willing to
give to our country. I really am. I think we're
very very blessed, and I think we're very fortunate that
he's willing to do all of this, because we're all
going to be the beneficiaries of all of this, and
we're going to finally, you know, root out the corruption
that is within our government, and we need to do
so and do so desperately. And that's what's happening right
(18:31):
before our eyes. And why is the left freaking out?
Because they're losing their power and this was their way
of advancing their radicalism. What is their radicalism? Their radicalism
is you know, this green New Deal, which is you know, socialism, Marxism, statism, redistributionism,
just given a green name. Their woke agenda, you know,
(18:55):
their their trans everything agenda, the DEI agenda, their abortion agenda.
I just went through all the money you know that
they've been spending. But this isn't This is not for Americans.
When American schools are deteriorating, when we have to deport
criminals from all over the country, known terrorists, cartel members, murderers, rapists,
(19:16):
at a time when we need to save social Security
and Medicare, at a time we need to have paid
down the forty trillion dollars in debt that that both
parties have put on our children and our grandchildren. And
you know, you may not even realize this. I said
this on TV last night. Every one of you, your
(19:37):
life has been impacted by a guy by the name
of Elon Musk and the fact that they hate him
number one because he's associated with Trump. They hate him
for that reason, but they hate him more because he
exposed them. He exposed they've they've been hiding all of this.
They know what they've been doing. You know, go back
(19:58):
to his entire career. This guy revolutionized electronic banking with PayPal.
He created a new form of high speed internet using
low orbit satellites you know which it's called starlink, which
is amazing, you know, making fast, reliable internet accessible anywhere
on Earth. Even helped the Ukrainians out, and he helped
(20:22):
the people in North Carolina out and Tennessee out after
Hurricane Helene. And he did it for free. And he
did the same thing. It provided the only form of
communication during the aftermath of the hurricane and the aftermath
of the fires out in California. He did that for free.
He reinvented space travel with SpaceX. Now he's planning on
(20:42):
going to Mars sometime by the end of next month.
It's not NASA, it's going to be Elon Musk that
tries to rescue these American astronauts that have been in
space for nearly three hundred days. He's going to go
save them. Thank you, Elon. We should say thank you.
(21:02):
We should say thank you for informing us and being transparent.
And in the coming months, you know, spacexual will make
this daring rescue. Biden and Harris, you know, abandoned and
en stranded these people for nearly three hundred days. They
were only supposed to be there eight days. He spearheaded
(21:23):
the development of affordable, high performance electric vehicles through Tesla.
I thought liberals liked electric vehicles. Apparently they don't like
Elon must They they hate being exposed and hate that
he's with Donald Trump more than they love their their
precious electric vehicles. I have no problem with electric vehicles,
says If I was ever going to buy an electric vehicle,
(21:43):
I would want to buy a Tesla. First of all,
I have friends that own them, and they love them,
and they swear by them. But I would buy it
just because of all that he's done for the country.
You know, there's also you know, his life altering Neurolink,
you know, the company that could one day solve our
traffic problem. I mean, I don't even have a hard
(22:07):
time these people that are so brilliant. I have a
hard time understanding how deep they think. And I'm fascinated
by it. Actually, you know, and Elon Musk doesn't need
this crap. He doesn't need to hear people shrill all
over television and all over the halls of Congress. He's
(22:27):
worth his billions and billions of dollars. He doesn't need
to work another day in his life by any stretch
of the imagination. You know, as Trump would say, You know,
he could be on a tropical beach enjoying life. But
he decided to do this for the country that gave
so much to him. And I respect him for it,
and I'm grateful for it. And you know he's he's
(22:49):
found a way to pour through the numbers and the
data and expose this federal bureaucracy and root out this waste,
fraud and abuse of your hard earned tax dollars. Now
you think he's doing this for himself, No, he's not
benefiting from this. No, he's getting he's getting the crap
(23:09):
kicked out of him every day in the in the
state run legacy medium mob. You think he's doing this
for any nefarious motive, No he's not. Is he going
to go save the astronauts because you know, for any
other reason they need to be saved and he can
do it. I have every confidence he'll be able to
(23:29):
do it, and I pray that that is a successful
recovery mission. And I think he's come to love this
country and understands it's the last great It's the greatest
country God ever gave man, and the last great hope
from man on this earth. And we have an opportunity
that maybe comes around once every hundred years, one hundred
and fifty years, and Donald Trump is put in place
(23:52):
away to end Washington's out of controlled bureaucracy from top
to bottom, and we can hit the reset button and
return to constitutional order. You know, we don't need all
these government agencies and programs and reckless foreign spending, you know,
(24:13):
all the abuse of your tax dollars. The average American
makes sixty six grand a year, and they then you see,
you know, billions and billions of dollars being spent on
Woke and DEI and Green New Deal and transgenderism and
LGBTQ and abortion in every other country but ours, and
(24:34):
what have we We've been watching unelected and elected bureaucrats
wasting all of this money, and now they tried to
hide it. He got access to where they really spent
the money and he shared it with the American people
by being transparent and the the establishment if you will,
(24:54):
the swamp, if you will, screaming bloody murder, and you know,
all the DEI seminars and the transgender plays and even
ten million dollars on meals for Al Kaita linked terrorists
and another favorite of mine, the biggest financial scandal in
American history. And it's only phase one and there's going
(25:17):
to be many, many phases to this. Instead of being
thankful and I'm grateful to Elon Musk for doing this,
he doesn't have to do this. I'm grateful. I'm grateful
for Donald Trump and him helping Donald Trump win. I'm
grateful that he's willing to serve his country this way.
I'm sorry that he has to go through all this crap.
(25:39):
You know. Welcome, Welcome to the world of being a
political public figure. I know all about it. And the
Democrats hate him for it. They hate him, and I'll
tell you what would he exposed more than anything that
they don't care. Democrats have claimed that they have a
monopoly of compassion on the working men and women of
(26:00):
this country, and we're going after the billionaire as well.
The billionaire is going to save you more money than
any Democrat has ever saved in their entire you know,
however long they've served. Combined, we discovered last year two
hundred and thirty six billion dollars Biden spent on improper payments.
That's a quarter of a billion dollars plus. We have
(26:23):
homeless vets, we have Social Security and medicare going towards insolvency.
We have a broken educational system. You know, we have
police departments that need to hire police and and to
keep our towns in cities safe. We need border patrol,
we need air traffic controllers. You know, we need to
(26:44):
build out and get all of the wealth of energy
that we have in this country. Anyway, it's it's disgusting
how they're treating this guy. Kamala lost Trump one. He
sets the agenda, he leads the executive brand bench. He
legally rightly appointed Elon to do this. Elon accepted, and
(27:06):
now it's time to clean out all the federal employees
that are unwilling to carry out the president's agenda and
those that have corrupted our institutions, stolen our future from
our kids and our grandkids, and be good stewards for you,
the hard working Americans, the people that really do make
this country great. Every American's conscience should be shocked at
(27:26):
what we learned this week. Disgusting. We should get a refund,
We should demand every country pay that money back. Anyway,
one way to save money and was still under the
Harris Biden economy, to save money in these tough economic
times and not sacrifice service. Make the switch to my
cell phone. Provide a pure talk a vetro own company.
(27:47):
Now the beauty is they use the same exact five
G network, the same exact cell towers. You get the
same exact service, and you pay half the price. Average
family saves close to one thousand bucks a year. That's
real money. You can also get had a free phone
from like the big carriers Verizon, AT and T and
T Mobile, but you're gonna get it for less than
half the price. And you know whether you want an
(28:08):
iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy, you'll get it for free
with a qualifying plan of forty five bucks a month
that includes unlimited talk and text, twenty five gigs of data,
mobile hotspot roaming, and instead of one hundred plus dollars
a month, you're going to pay forty five and you
get your free phone. Make the switch. It's simple, fast
and easy. Take your cell dial, pound two fifty, say
(28:31):
the keyword save now. Claim your new iPhone or Galaxy
with a qualifying purchase and pound two to fifty keywords
save now. From Puretalk. They're America's wireless company, Bold Inspired
Solutions for America. Sean Hannity is on, all right, when
(28:56):
we come back, a whistleblower for us AID or USAID
is gonna join us. Guy lost his job and they
made false charges against the guy. And we've got to
resolve whether or not Linda answered the question properly or
not on you know how many points you get for
a field goal. We got to resolve. But it's Super
(29:17):
Bowl Sunday weekend.
