Speaker 1 (00:00):
The news roundup, Information Overload Hour. Here's our toll free
(00:02):
telephone number of this Friday. It's eight hundred and nine
point one, Sean if you want to be a part
of the program. Latisia James in Virginia getting a rain today,
saying the justice system is being used as a tool
of revenge and a vehicle of retribution. Listen, but this
(00:22):
is not about me.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is about all of us and about a justice
system which has been weaponized.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Now, I asked, I ask all of you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is this the same Latisia James that ran on a
platform to go after one man, one family, one organization.
Yet Trump, Let's go back in time, shall we read
to the campaign of Letsia James.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president
when our fundamental rights are extended. I believe that the
president of these United States can be indicted.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
In criminal offenses him.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
We're going to be a real.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Pat personally that man in the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Who can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights. Yes,
we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
We need to follow his money.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We need to find out where he's laundered money. We
need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understands that the days of Donald
Trump are coming to an end.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
To going into the office of Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Every day, suing him and then going home.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Oh, that's pretty much what she did. Pretty unbelievable. Uh,
And we had JB. Pritzker in front by Brett Baar
over Chicago's astronomical murder rate. Remember it's five times that
of New York City. That's saying a lot. Since he's
become governor, four thousand plus homicides in his state. But
(02:09):
he's too busy, you know, claiming that Trump is a
Nazi and a fascist and calling him every other name
in the book. Listen, why does Chicago have the highest
murder rate of all the big cities.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
of our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has
been cut in half over the last four years, and
every year it's gone down by double digits. And if
you look at all of the violent crime over the
last four years, we've all gone to a US cities
seventeen point forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's
(02:44):
number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles,
New York.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And San Diego.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
I'm what I'm explaining to you talking about violent crime.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Look, you can pull statistics up these ads.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been
cut in half.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
And very Brett and you got to hear this very importantly.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
We've been doing the things that are necessary to bring
crime down.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Right.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
We've invested in community violence, interruption, We've invested in police.
I've added more state police than any governor in quite
a long time. It's very important that we do both
of those things and more to invest in our community
so that we bring crime down. We're doing that. You
know who's doing the opposite, Donald Trump. That's not what
we need.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Obviously, he's running for office, you know. And then of course,
comparing ICE agents and ICE raids to Nazis and Pinochet
and other authoritarian regimes, listen to this answer.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
What I can tell.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
You is that Alberto Pinochet was an authoritarian. There are
lots of authoritarians that I could point to. It happens
that I know best because I helped build a Holocaust
museum sitting next to Holocaust survivors about.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
What the Nazis did in those early years. I understand.
I'm not talking about the Holocaust.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
I'm talking of about what they were doing, taking away
people's rights, arresting people, asking them for papers.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Early on in an authoritarian regime.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Wherever it is in the world throughout history, this is
what happens.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's the beginning of something very bad for our countries.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
We are now living through one of the most violent times.
And rather than you know, reducing the murder rate and
putting the proper law enforcement in place to protect the
lives of people in Chicago and in his state, you know,
he preferred to spend every spare minute, every hour of
every day trashing Donald Trump. But you know, if you
look at all that's going on around the country. Minnesota
(04:36):
man arrested for a murder for a higher plot targeting
Pam Bondi, Cash Bettel vowing to prosecute pro illegal alien activists,
Democrats that are now using the master ICE tracker, which
will only put a bullseye on the foreheads and then
the backs of ICE agents that are doing their job
(04:58):
and enforcing the law. I mean, I have example after example.
There's a terrible poll that came out today. Those celebrating
remember the alleged murderer Luigi Mangioni, the United Healthcare CEO.
And anyway, you look at young Americans, forty percent of
them aged eighteen to twenty nine believe that citizens taking
(05:20):
violent action quote against the rich is sometimes justified. We
now live in an assassination culture. Charlie Kirk to assassinated.
Who would be assassins at Donald Trump? He came within
a millimeter of losing his life. And you got a
main Democrat with a Nazi tattoo. And now we find
out it made homophobic statements as well, and it goes
(05:42):
on and on and on. Anyway, Joining us now is
Paul Morrow, formally ran the counter terrorism operations for the
MOYPD Intelligence Unit, a Fox News contributor. Thank you, sir
for being with us. This is a scary environment right now,
it really is.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Show and thank you for having me. You know you
encapsulated did very well. We have a the thought leaders
on the left who are either in abject denial or
who are leading to charge. It looks very much like
the latter when it comes to those who are seeking
higher office. And there's no secret here of the people
who were driving at Chris Curry, which you emply noted.
(06:19):
You have AOC who wants Schumer speed. You have Brandon
Johnson in Chicago who's done nothing to help that town.
We could go on and on, and given the assassination
of Charlie Kirk and the attempts on Donald Trump don't
seem to calm things down. And I don't think they
will calm down because I think they just are so
bitter about the fact that not only did Donald Trump
(06:40):
win a second term, which none of them counted on,
but he's doing what he said he would do and
what the country voted for. And as they unwined that is,
the Trump administration unwinds all the predations of the Biden years.
They're watching their agenda slip away. Victor David Hanson makes
a very good point, which is along with that, they're
starting to see now that Trump is very well may
(07:00):
survive Donald Trump's term and as we go into maybe JD.
Vance or Marco Ruvio.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
It's shit a stake.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What do you think it is? I mean, taking a
guy like JB. Pritzker five times the murder homicide rate
of New York City, New York City is pretty bad.
It's not like you know that that's your prime example,
and you got a situation five times worse since he's
been governor over four thousand dead people, and all he
wants to do is lash out at Donald Trump, who
(07:28):
is offering you know, aid and support to keep the
city of Chicago and other violent areas safe and secure,
which I argue, Paul, is a prerequisite to pursue happiness.
If you don't have law and order safety, security, you
cannot pursue your God given talents in life.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Absolutely. I mean, this is why people form nations to
begin with, going back to biblical times, you band together
the safety because their strength in numbers, and we seem
to have lost track of that. I'm directive and somebody
like Pritzkern. He's not the only violators here, but somebody
like Prisker really just does seem willing to assume a
(08:09):
willful blindness and this has decided that there is an
acceptable casualty rate because it doesn't have been in his neighborhood.
You and I both know that that famous video of
him walking around lakeside and saying, look, see everything's calm
at six in the morning with the security detail. I
was there for the DNC with you, Shan, and I
went out to some of the rougher neighborhoods and it
(08:30):
was interesting talking to some of the very young people there,
high school level age girls. And in a car next
to me, I was talking to them. They just assumed,
seeing me in their neighborhood, that I was there to
report on yet another shooting. It was just assumed that
doesn't happen in Princeker's neighborhood. He doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
No, I remember your coverage. I remember very well.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean, you know, I don't really talk about issues
involving being in the public eye that often, but over
the years, I mean, I'm a little more willing to
talk about it now because of all that we're living
through at this moment. You know, white powder sent to
me and thought wahs on my head and death threats galore.
(09:13):
I mean, you can't get a New York City pistol
carry from it unless you have like a thousand death threats.
And I qualified, let's put it that way. And then
it was getting worse and worse and worse. In the
Trump error, It's like my very presence would trigger people
and you'd see nothing but disdain and disgust on people's faces.
And it got to the point, Paul that I felt
(09:33):
like when I would take friends and family into a
restaurant for crying out loud, I might be putting them
at risk. And I didn't feel comfortable letting that continue.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, and isn't it telling that the reverse is not
the case. You can take the most visible liberal from
Hollywood and put that person in a hotel in some
of the reddest districts of America or in a restaurant
in any heavy Republican area, and they won't get the
same treatment. You have to say to yourself why. And
I always devolved to the old chestnut that's the right
(10:06):
things the left is wrong, but the left things to
right is evil and in their mindset justifies any action.
And unfortunately that theory has kind of moved to the
mainstream of the Democratic Party and in fact to the forefront.
And that's the charge they're leading now.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We sort of know kings, all right, quick break right
back more with Paul Morrow, who formerly ran the account
of terrorism operation for the NYPD and their intelligence unit.
More with him on the other side than your calls
this Friday coming up, eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Sean is our number.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
The interviews you won't hear anywhere else. Every day, every day,
That's what we do. You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Every competing with Paul Morrow, formerly ran counter terrorism operations
for the NYPD Intelligence Unit. You know, we lived under
David Dinkins in New York and it became an unmitigated disaster.
Rudy Giuliani, he did such an amazing job cleaning up
New York City. Times Square exhibit a forty second Street.
You remember back in the old days, forty second Street,
(11:44):
I mean it was you know, triple X rated peep shows,
drug dealers up and down the street, left, right and sideways.
I mean that's when I was growing up for crying
out loud. And he beautified it. He disn't he fighted
even and it became a place where, you know, people
could safely walk through it. New York City now is
changing dramatically or poured out today. A new poll out
(12:05):
today that that shows over twenty five percent of New
Yorkers are considering leaving the city. If comedy marks as
Mumdani wins and I don't have a lot of hope
that New York City is going to wake up in
time and not elect this guy.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
You're right, and you know all these poles. Is interesting
to me that of all the polls you see, they
all put Clomo head to head with Mamdani. If Slee
we were to drop out, isn't it an interesting you
never see the reverse, and that is to say, we're
Cuomo to have dropped out after he lost the primary
and was rejected.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
By the way, there's not one poll that shows Cuomo
beating Mamdani head to head, not one.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
That's right because the Sleewa voters won't come over to
him because they remember his deftendation's way way too well.
But you're entirely right, New York City sliding backwards. Don't
care what the numbers say roative to the crime, you know,
so they have made some games in violent crime, but
the bottom line is the quality of life here. The
quality of life are not even prosecuted anymore. They don't
get captured in the statistics. You and I both know
(13:04):
walking around the city that the city is becoming as
bad as it was back then, if not quite as violent.
With violent crime, quality elect is way way down. And
while Times Square is not disnified as much as it was,
which by the way, the left was entirely against. They
talked about the Disney vocation of Times.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They took the ruty to court every other day. You know,
he had to fight every step of the way.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
That's right. And by the way, the mafia controlled all
of that Times Square, all the peep shows and everything
that you're talking about. So essentially they we're doing the
mafia's dirty work. But now we have the different issue,
which is this homeless everywhere scoffold ding. You have street
level crimes that are not reported. People have essentially given up.
Shoplifting is our sport here, and there's something like thirte
(13:50):
hundred and thirty recidivists citywide who are responsible for a
full third of all the shoplifting. But because of the
revolving door justice that we've put in, it continues, and
some very simple measures they could fix all of this,
and they just are unwilling to take those measures.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, they're down about ten thousand officers. I know Curtis
would hire seven thousand more. Cuomo said, five thousand more.
You know, Mom, Donnie wants to send them the social workers,
and I'm sorry if you're dealing with a deranged human
being threatened and that killed people on the subway system.
Having some social workers say, sir, sir, ma'am, ma'am, we
(14:27):
have a moment. Is there something in your childhood that
might have triggered you and brought this to brought you
to this moment in life where you want to kill
everybody on this train.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I mean, how idiotic is that?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Yeah, and it's not going to work, and we should
recognize it. It's been tried. Did the Blasio administration put
out similar measures? They had this program called Violence Interrupters,
which I thought you've heard of, and that's by design
because it was very quietly put in. Was one of
those mysterious to Blasio initiatives like Thrive New York for
Mental Health over a billion dollars, did absolutely nothing. The
same thing with violence in. They were supposed to be
(15:01):
out there as the liaison between violent offenders and the
police department, many of them with gang bangers themselves. I'm
sure half of them is still on the payroll. They
did nothing. I've never seen one. I've never seen a
story that mattered from any of them. But it's realistically
just another form of a social safety net. Let's give
away to public's money, and this is why people are
leaving this time.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, Morrow, thank you appreciate your time. As always, it's
so interesting to watch. Like I think, Joe Rogan is
a very eclectic, interesting person. He's not that political, to
be very honest with you, I know, he played a
pretty impactful role in the last presidential election President Trump
and think spent over three hours with the guy. And
(15:42):
I like him because of his love of UFC and
his love of mixed martial arts, and you know, he's
a guy's guy. He seemed like a regular.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I don't know him. I've never talked to him.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And all these people, it's so funny they like beg
to be on a show, Linda, I beg not to
be on people's show. I'm like, I got my own shows.
I don't have enough time to do anybody else's show.
But I do do some for friends, as you know.
And but I got a pretty intense schedule and I'm
very happy, you know, putting all my work and focus
(16:15):
into radio and TV every day.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But people are begging.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Him and and Gavin Newsome, who I have invited repeatedly
to come back on this program. I have texted him directly,
offered him a full hour on TV, a full three
hours on radio.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Why would you do that to your audience? Do you
hate us that much?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
My god, I don't hate you, but I mean, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Mak him for two minutes, let alone aound.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Because Joe Rogan is not immersed in the day to
day weeds of political It's not his wheelhouse or what
he does. He's a very different kind of host, and
I admire what he does. I think he's great at
what he does. However, politics really isn't that much of
his thing. If you pay attention. He pays attention to man, listen,
(17:06):
I don't want everyone to do the same show. I
like the fact that he's different. I do like that,
and I think he's very likable. I'm very smart and anyway,
so Gavin has been like strolling and begging Rogan to
come on his show. Now, the one thing I picked
up and tell me if I'm wrong, the people that
are always begging to be on a show, he never
(17:27):
puts them on, does he definitely not? Yeah, It's like, no,
you're not coming on, I'm like no, and especially people
with political agendas. Anyways, so you know he's watching. He's
not afraid of Gavin newso you know. But he made
this joke the other day that I thought was pretty funny,
and this is what he said.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
What Donald Trump should do is when he leaves the office,
run for governor of California. Just take over California and
fix it. It would be hilarios as if he did,
it would be one of the funniest things of all time.
If an eighty two year old man steps into the
office of governor California, We're.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Gonna fix everything. You've gonna get the water. It would
be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You know what I would do if if he'd ever
decided to invi Cavin neussem On, I would I might
try to contact Rogan and you know what I would do.
I would hit him with all the information he'd ever
need and it would be in a merciful slaughter.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Bro.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
He moved, He left California. That's what That's all the
ammo he needs. He left the place he loves, like
so many other Californians because he had enough.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
He had enough.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It was gross.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I thought another funny moment. So we have this you know,
span Burger, Abigail Spanburger running in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
And yeah, she's a woman, so is Winsome Earl Sears,
who's the current Lieutenant governor running for governor. In the
case of what's going on in Virginia, it's very very interesting.
This woman Spamberger won't condemn Joey Jones, who called, you know,
(19:05):
for assassinating the Speaker of the House and his kids
and bringing harm to them. And she won't tell this
idiot to drop out. And it's had a huge impact
on the race. He wants to make Virginia a sanctuary state.
The Commonwealth of Virginia all in favor of this you know,
men and women's sports and locker rooms nonsense. And her
(19:27):
polling is dropped like a rock. That's why I'm telling you.
If you live in New Jersey or you live in
New Jersey. By the way, early voting starts on Saturday,
it just like New York and anyway, and so, and
it had already started in Virginia. So she has all
of these issues. Polls are dropping like crazy. And then
you listen to the liberal you know, liberal Joe A MSDNC.
(19:52):
Now you have two women in the race for governor,
but they're blaming sexism. But the problems that spam Burger
is having in Virginia and I'm like, hello, can you
pay attention here because you haven't win some seers an
American Jamaican American immigrant who's the current lieutenant governor that's
(20:16):
running for governor against the other woman.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
It really is incredible when you have Abigail Spaanberg or
Mikey Cheryl, her background, all the different jobs that she
has held in the military, and also like Alissa Slockkin.
I mean, my god, these women are incredible. And to them,
I would say, fight, fight, fight, because.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
We need them, we need them. And Mikey is like,
she's doing a ton of interviews. You know when I
talked to them, when I was in the car, you know,
it was this car.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
She had gone from interview to interview to talk to
talk to.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But you know, you still see the anxiety.
Speaker 13 (20:55):
Yeah, Cheryl did have a few missteps in her campaign,
but she still has as you say, about five or
six pointly propolling Spanberger's lead in Virginia a little bigger
than that. But you know, both still competitive races here
heading into the last couple of weeks. But to Mika
Tomali's point, I mean, this is something that a lot
of Democrats are grappling with right now. So they've nominated
women two of the last three elections for the presidency
(21:17):
lost both. There are some who say, well, we can't
do that again, the stakes are too high. But of
course that does fall into the same misogynstic trap.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
Other countries have no problem electing.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Women, Okay, I mean, how do you say it's misogynistic?
And in the case of Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey,
she didn't walk with her class at graduation another you know, transgender,
you know, men and women's sports champion. You won't pledge
not to raise taxes on the people in New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And you know, on top of that, she made seven
million dollars and she has no idea how he can't
give an exploit.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I just I just seven million dollars just showed up
in my bank account. I mean, Linda, seven million shows
up in your bank account tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think you might notice.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Oh I would notice. You would notice too, because I
wouldn't be coming in anymore you'd be like, where's Linda? Like, oh,
she got seven million, she has no idea where it
came from. You hit a lot of you would not
did not work anymore.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
For seven million. Let me tell you what I would do,
And do you wonder what I would do if I
had seven million dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
What would you do?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
For several what would you do? You win a lot
of First of all, I'll tell you what I'm going
to do. First of all.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
First of all, I'm going to give three million dollars
to courtes Lelyiz campaign, and I'm going to crush COMMI
Donnie first and foremost. Next, I'm going to give a
million dollars to my siblings. Then I'm going to pay
off everybody's mortgages and whatever remaining money I have left.
I'm going to buy a big farm and save all
of the shelter dogs in America and cats okay order,
and I'm going to hire veterans to come and work
(22:47):
with the shelter dogs.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
So it's a win win for everybody.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Sheltered dogs. You're going to work with the dogs, yeah, And.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
The veterans are going to love it because I'm going
to respect them. They're going to live on the farm
for free room and board, and they're going to get
nice and they're going to have a good time with
the dogs and the cats. And to me, that would
be an amazing life.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, Linda has said in her cat who was five
times the size of a normal cat, are you all right?
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Are you okay? That cat is fine? She was loved that.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Was five times the size of it. Put the picture
on hannity dot com. Though, no of the cat when
I was a fat cat.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
No, she's very shy. She doesn't want her picture shown.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Christ and Connecticut on the Sean Hannity Show, Happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Hi, Chris, are you there? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Yeah? Sean? Can you hear me? Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I can hear you? Fine, what's going on?
Speaker 14 (23:34):
So listen? I was I was listening to your show
about two days ago, and there was a young man
that called in I think he was calling from the
Penn State area, said he had gone to some of
these Kings of pro you know, no more Kings protests, right,
And I was really impressed by how you spoke to
him and how you ask questions, and then you wrapped
it up by talking about work ethic and young folks,
(23:57):
and I was I just I really wanted to applaud you.
The way you spoke to the young kid was really commendable.
And the fact that you talked about work ethic with
young kids is really what we need to start doing
again in this country.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
These are the conversations. I'm not going to say that
this came out of nowhere. I mean I have kids
in my twenties myself, and I talk to them about
this all the time, and I'm like, you gotta work,
you gotta serve, and go always go back to my example,
You're not everybody has a purpose.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
God gave everyone talent.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I really believe that, And the best thing that can
happen in your life is you find your talent. Then
you find a way to make money using your talent.
I mean, I had no idea how a big mouth.
All I knew is I liked talking on the radio.
And you know what, I I just whatever it is
that you love, pursue it, find a way to make
money at it, and you'll live your best life in
(24:53):
that way, and you'll be contributing in the best way
possible because that's what you were born to do. But
I find with a lot of young people. You know,
they don't have a work ethic. And I keep telling
my kids, you're never going to be trust fund Bratson.
I'm not letting that happen ever. Ever, you go to
a restaurant, you get greeted by somebody, that person seach you.
Then I go through my whole list. Somebody brings over
(25:15):
and fills your water glass. Then somebody comes over and
takes the drink order, and then somebody makes the drink,
and then they bring the drink to your table. And
then you order appetizers, and then somebody takes the order
and then goes back and the cook cut makes your appetizers.
Then somebody brings it to your table, and then somebody
comes cleans the table, and on and on and on.
You're not we're not kings and queens. We're here to
(25:37):
serve other people in some capacity, and in the process
of doing that, that's the honesty and the real beauty
of capitalism is that then you serve other people in
whatever profession you're doing. And you know, but I want
kids to have a work ethic today. I mean, if
I worry a little bit, you know, I see some
(25:58):
young people there's a little but too much of an
entitlement mentality amongst some among some, but a lot of
them are great kids and they just they need a
little guidance.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And you know, you mentioned something.
You know, sometimes I feel like that. You know, money
is a dirty word, and it shouldn't be. It's a
reward for hard work. Right, You exchange your effort, your
hard work, and you get money in return. And it
kind of you talked about something else, right, you talked
about some bankrupt government programs, you know, Medicaid and disability
(26:30):
and some others. And we need to embrace kind of
fiscal responsibility. It goes hand in hand because if we
don't do it now, it's these young kids that are
going to be bearing the burden because we didn't. We
weren't disciplined today, and we haven't been for the past
probably twenty years or so.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Correct one hundred percent. And we've got to stop robbing
from our kids and grandkids.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It has to end. We have to draw alight in
the sand.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I am confident that under President Trump, you're going to
see revenues increase if we can get a control of spending.
And this is where I like I like the idea
of Connie mac first introduced it in the House and
Ram Paul still supports it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And that's the Penny plan. I like that a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, cut one dollar out of one penny out
of every dollar you spend, and you stop baseline budgeting,
which has built in increases in everything, and it would
be a way to get your budget imbalance. And if
you increase revenues because of the tax cuts, the seventeen
eighteen trillion and new committed moneys for manufacturing investment and
(27:37):
oil moneies, that this country should be, you know, having
dividends from in the years in the future. I think
that it's an I think it's a formula for great success,
and I hope it is.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But anyway, I'm glad you like to Chris god blesh
you man, you have a great weekend.
Speaker 14 (27:51):
Right likewise, dude, save yourself.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Eight hundred nine to four one, Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program. We have a
minute left. Let's go to Paul in New York. What's up, Paul.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
We have a minute.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's all yours, take it and run.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
How you doing, John, I'm a retired police officer. I
was twenty seven years almost. I was for nineteen years.
I was an elected representative PBA delegate, I was on
the political committee. I want to talk about the mayor's race.
The idea, excuse me, that Cuomo, who already lost to Moondami,
then now come back and beat him is a bit
(28:29):
far fetched. Some of the reasons for that. They're assuming.
They're making assumptions that the Republicans, if Homo drops out
and all these Republicans are going to vote for Pomo.
That's not going to happen. Definitely not going to happen.
The diehard Republicans will never do that. The moderate Republicans
remember some of the reasons why we're in the position
(28:52):
we're in now because of him, because of his actions.
The crime, I.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Totally agree with your analysis, is not a single poll
head to head Mamdani and Cuomo that chose Cuomo close.
And you know, we always say we want politicians that
are principal. Hurtis is like I can't be bought and
I'm not getting out and you're not pushing me out.
That sounds like he's standing on his principles and we're
going to criticize him for that I'm not I won't
(29:17):
do it, and that's going to wrap things up today,
all right. The President, it's a twenty four hour trip
as he heads to various countries in Asia, culminating with
his meeting with President Chi of China. Will a full
complete coverage of that democratic meltdown. We're on Schumer's shutdown watch.
Will they open the government or are they going to
(29:39):
let people poor people in the country go hungry? Anyway,
we'll be monitoring all of it. Have a great, great weekend.
We'll be back here on Monday. Thank you for making
this show possible.
The news roundup, Information Overload Hour. Here's our toll free
(00:02):
telephone number of this Friday. It's eight hundred and nine
point one, Sean if you want to be a part
of the program. Latisia James in Virginia getting a rain today,
saying the justice system is being used as a tool
of revenge and a vehicle of retribution. Listen, but this
(00:22):
is not about me.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is about all of us and about a justice
system which has been weaponized.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Now, I asked, I ask all of you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is this the same Latisia James that ran on a
platform to go after one man, one family, one organization.
Yet Trump, Let's go back in time, shall we read
to the campaign of Letsia James.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president
when our fundamental rights are extended. I believe that the
president of these United States can be indicted.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
In criminal offenses him.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
We're going to be a real.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Pat personally that man in the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Who can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights. Yes,
we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
We need to follow his money.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We need to find out where he's laundered money. We
need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understands that the days of Donald
Trump are coming to an end.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
To going into the office of Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Every day, suing him and then going home.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Oh, that's pretty much what she did. Pretty unbelievable. Uh,
And we had JB. Pritzker in front by Brett Baar
over Chicago's astronomical murder rate. Remember it's five times that
of New York City. That's saying a lot. Since he's
become governor, four thousand plus homicides in his state. But
(02:09):
he's too busy, you know, claiming that Trump is a
Nazi and a fascist and calling him every other name
in the book. Listen, why does Chicago have the highest
murder rate of all the big cities.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
of our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has
been cut in half over the last four years, and
every year it's gone down by double digits. And if
you look at all of the violent crime over the
last four years, we've all gone to a US cities
seventeen point forty seven per one hundred thousand population. Chicago's
(02:44):
number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles,
New York.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
And San Diego.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
I'm what I'm explaining to you talking about violent crime.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Look, you can pull statistics up these ads.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been
cut in half.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
And very Brett and you got to hear this very importantly.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
We've been doing the things that are necessary to bring
crime down.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Right.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
We've invested in community violence, interruption, We've invested in police.
I've added more state police than any governor in quite
a long time. It's very important that we do both
of those things and more to invest in our community
so that we bring crime down. We're doing that. You
know who's doing the opposite, Donald Trump. That's not what
we need.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Obviously, he's running for office, you know. And then of course,
comparing ICE agents and ICE raids to Nazis and Pinochet
and other authoritarian regimes, listen to this answer.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
What I can tell.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
You is that Alberto Pinochet was an authoritarian. There are
lots of authoritarians that I could point to. It happens
that I know best because I helped build a Holocaust
museum sitting next to Holocaust survivors about.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
What the Nazis did in those early years. I understand.
I'm not talking about the Holocaust.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
I'm talking of about what they were doing, taking away
people's rights, arresting people, asking them for papers.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Early on in an authoritarian regime.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Wherever it is in the world throughout history, this is
what happens.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's the beginning of something very bad for our countries.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
We are now living through one of the most violent times.
And rather than you know, reducing the murder rate and
putting the proper law enforcement in place to protect the
lives of people in Chicago and in his state, you know,
he preferred to spend every spare minute, every hour of
every day trashing Donald Trump. But you know, if you
look at all that's going on around the country. Minnesota
(04:36):
man arrested for a murder for a higher plot targeting
Pam Bondi, Cash Bettel vowing to prosecute pro illegal alien activists,
Democrats that are now using the master ICE tracker, which
will only put a bullseye on the foreheads and then
the backs of ICE agents that are doing their job
(04:58):
and enforcing the law. I mean, I have example after example.
There's a terrible poll that came out today. Those celebrating
remember the alleged murderer Luigi Mangioni, the United Healthcare CEO.
And anyway, you look at young Americans, forty percent of
them aged eighteen to twenty nine believe that citizens taking
(05:20):
violent action quote against the rich is sometimes justified. We
now live in an assassination culture. Charlie Kirk to assassinated.
Who would be assassins at Donald Trump? He came within
a millimeter of losing his life. And you got a
main Democrat with a Nazi tattoo. And now we find
out it made homophobic statements as well, and it goes
(05:42):
on and on and on. Anyway, Joining us now is
Paul Morrow, formally ran the counter terrorism operations for the
MOYPD Intelligence Unit, a Fox News contributor. Thank you, sir
for being with us. This is a scary environment right now,
it really is.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Show and thank you for having me. You know you
encapsulated did very well. We have a the thought leaders
on the left who are either in abject denial or
who are leading to charge. It looks very much like
the latter when it comes to those who are seeking
higher office. And there's no secret here of the people
who were driving at Chris Curry, which you emply noted.
(06:19):
You have AOC who wants Schumer speed. You have Brandon
Johnson in Chicago who's done nothing to help that town.
We could go on and on, and given the assassination
of Charlie Kirk and the attempts on Donald Trump don't
seem to calm things down. And I don't think they
will calm down because I think they just are so
bitter about the fact that not only did Donald Trump
(06:40):
win a second term, which none of them counted on,
but he's doing what he said he would do and
what the country voted for. And as they unwined that is,
the Trump administration unwinds all the predations of the Biden years.
They're watching their agenda slip away. Victor David Hanson makes
a very good point, which is along with that, they're
starting to see now that Trump is very well may
(07:00):
survive Donald Trump's term and as we go into maybe JD.
Vance or Marco Ruvio.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
It's shit a stake.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What do you think it is? I mean, taking a
guy like JB. Pritzker five times the murder homicide rate
of New York City, New York City is pretty bad.
It's not like you know that that's your prime example,
and you got a situation five times worse since he's
been governor over four thousand dead people, and all he
wants to do is lash out at Donald Trump, who
(07:28):
is offering you know, aid and support to keep the
city of Chicago and other violent areas safe and secure,
which I argue, Paul, is a prerequisite to pursue happiness.
If you don't have law and order safety, security, you
cannot pursue your God given talents in life.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Absolutely. I mean, this is why people form nations to
begin with, going back to biblical times, you band together
the safety because their strength in numbers, and we seem
to have lost track of that. I'm directive and somebody
like Pritzkern. He's not the only violators here, but somebody
like Prisker really just does seem willing to assume a
(08:09):
willful blindness and this has decided that there is an
acceptable casualty rate because it doesn't have been in his neighborhood.
You and I both know that that famous video of
him walking around lakeside and saying, look, see everything's calm
at six in the morning with the security detail. I
was there for the DNC with you, Shan, and I
went out to some of the rougher neighborhoods and it
(08:30):
was interesting talking to some of the very young people there,
high school level age girls. And in a car next
to me, I was talking to them. They just assumed,
seeing me in their neighborhood, that I was there to
report on yet another shooting. It was just assumed that
doesn't happen in Princeker's neighborhood. He doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
No, I remember your coverage. I remember very well.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean, you know, I don't really talk about issues
involving being in the public eye that often, but over
the years, I mean, I'm a little more willing to
talk about it now because of all that we're living
through at this moment. You know, white powder sent to
me and thought wahs on my head and death threats galore.
(09:13):
I mean, you can't get a New York City pistol
carry from it unless you have like a thousand death threats.
And I qualified, let's put it that way. And then
it was getting worse and worse and worse. In the
Trump error, It's like my very presence would trigger people
and you'd see nothing but disdain and disgust on people's faces.
And it got to the point, Paul that I felt
(09:33):
like when I would take friends and family into a
restaurant for crying out loud, I might be putting them
at risk. And I didn't feel comfortable letting that continue.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, and isn't it telling that the reverse is not
the case. You can take the most visible liberal from
Hollywood and put that person in a hotel in some
of the reddest districts of America or in a restaurant
in any heavy Republican area, and they won't get the
same treatment. You have to say to yourself why. And
I always devolved to the old chestnut that's the right
(10:06):
things the left is wrong, but the left things to
right is evil and in their mindset justifies any action.
And unfortunately that theory has kind of moved to the
mainstream of the Democratic Party and in fact to the forefront.
And that's the charge they're leading now.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We sort of know kings, all right, quick break right
back more with Paul Morrow, who formerly ran the account
of terrorism operation for the NYPD and their intelligence unit.
More with him on the other side than your calls
this Friday coming up, eight hundred and nine four one.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Sean is our number.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
The interviews you won't hear anywhere else. Every day, every day,
That's what we do. You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Every competing with Paul Morrow, formerly ran counter terrorism operations
for the NYPD Intelligence Unit. You know, we lived under
David Dinkins in New York and it became an unmitigated disaster.
Rudy Giuliani, he did such an amazing job cleaning up
New York City. Times Square exhibit a forty second Street.
You remember back in the old days, forty second Street,
(11:44):
I mean it was you know, triple X rated peep shows,
drug dealers up and down the street, left, right and sideways.
I mean that's when I was growing up for crying
out loud. And he beautified it. He disn't he fighted
even and it became a place where, you know, people
could safely walk through it. New York City now is
changing dramatically or poured out today. A new poll out
(12:05):
today that that shows over twenty five percent of New
Yorkers are considering leaving the city. If comedy marks as
Mumdani wins and I don't have a lot of hope
that New York City is going to wake up in
time and not elect this guy.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
You're right, and you know all these poles. Is interesting
to me that of all the polls you see, they
all put Clomo head to head with Mamdani. If Slee
we were to drop out, isn't it an interesting you
never see the reverse, and that is to say, we're
Cuomo to have dropped out after he lost the primary
and was rejected.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
By the way, there's not one poll that shows Cuomo
beating Mamdani head to head, not one.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
That's right because the Sleewa voters won't come over to
him because they remember his deftendation's way way too well.
But you're entirely right, New York City sliding backwards. Don't
care what the numbers say roative to the crime, you know,
so they have made some games in violent crime, but
the bottom line is the quality of life here. The
quality of life are not even prosecuted anymore. They don't
get captured in the statistics. You and I both know
(13:04):
walking around the city that the city is becoming as
bad as it was back then, if not quite as violent.
With violent crime, quality elect is way way down. And
while Times Square is not disnified as much as it was,
which by the way, the left was entirely against. They
talked about the Disney vocation of Times.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
They took the ruty to court every other day. You know,
he had to fight every step of the way.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
That's right. And by the way, the mafia controlled all
of that Times Square, all the peep shows and everything
that you're talking about. So essentially they we're doing the
mafia's dirty work. But now we have the different issue,
which is this homeless everywhere scoffold ding. You have street
level crimes that are not reported. People have essentially given up.
Shoplifting is our sport here, and there's something like thirte
(13:50):
hundred and thirty recidivists citywide who are responsible for a
full third of all the shoplifting. But because of the
revolving door justice that we've put in, it continues, and
some very simple measures they could fix all of this,
and they just are unwilling to take those measures.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, they're down about ten thousand officers. I know Curtis
would hire seven thousand more. Cuomo said, five thousand more.
You know, Mom, Donnie wants to send them the social workers,
and I'm sorry if you're dealing with a deranged human
being threatened and that killed people on the subway system.
Having some social workers say, sir, sir, ma'am, ma'am, we
(14:27):
have a moment. Is there something in your childhood that
might have triggered you and brought this to brought you
to this moment in life where you want to kill
everybody on this train.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I mean, how idiotic is that?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Yeah, and it's not going to work, and we should
recognize it. It's been tried. Did the Blasio administration put
out similar measures? They had this program called Violence Interrupters,
which I thought you've heard of, and that's by design
because it was very quietly put in. Was one of
those mysterious to Blasio initiatives like Thrive New York for
Mental Health over a billion dollars, did absolutely nothing. The
same thing with violence in. They were supposed to be
(15:01):
out there as the liaison between violent offenders and the
police department, many of them with gang bangers themselves. I'm
sure half of them is still on the payroll. They
did nothing. I've never seen one. I've never seen a
story that mattered from any of them. But it's realistically
just another form of a social safety net. Let's give
away to public's money, and this is why people are
leaving this time.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, Morrow, thank you appreciate your time. As always, it's
so interesting to watch. Like I think, Joe Rogan is
a very eclectic, interesting person. He's not that political, to
be very honest with you, I know, he played a
pretty impactful role in the last presidential election President Trump
and think spent over three hours with the guy. And
(15:42):
I like him because of his love of UFC and
his love of mixed martial arts, and you know, he's
a guy's guy. He seemed like a regular.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I don't know him. I've never talked to him.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And all these people, it's so funny they like beg
to be on a show, Linda, I beg not to
be on people's show. I'm like, I got my own shows.
I don't have enough time to do anybody else's show.
But I do do some for friends, as you know.
And but I got a pretty intense schedule and I'm
very happy, you know, putting all my work and focus
(16:15):
into radio and TV every day.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But people are begging.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Him and and Gavin Newsome, who I have invited repeatedly
to come back on this program. I have texted him directly,
offered him a full hour on TV, a full three
hours on radio.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Why would you do that to your audience? Do you
hate us that much?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
My god, I don't hate you, but I mean, you know.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
Mak him for two minutes, let alone aound.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Because Joe Rogan is not immersed in the day to
day weeds of political It's not his wheelhouse or what
he does. He's a very different kind of host, and
I admire what he does. I think he's great at
what he does. However, politics really isn't that much of
his thing. If you pay attention. He pays attention to man, listen,
(17:06):
I don't want everyone to do the same show. I
like the fact that he's different. I do like that,
and I think he's very likable. I'm very smart and anyway,
so Gavin has been like strolling and begging Rogan to
come on his show. Now, the one thing I picked
up and tell me if I'm wrong, the people that
are always begging to be on a show, he never
(17:27):
puts them on, does he definitely not? Yeah, It's like, no,
you're not coming on, I'm like no, and especially people
with political agendas. Anyways, so you know he's watching. He's
not afraid of Gavin newso you know. But he made
this joke the other day that I thought was pretty funny,
and this is what he said.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
What Donald Trump should do is when he leaves the office,
run for governor of California. Just take over California and
fix it. It would be hilarios as if he did,
it would be one of the funniest things of all time.
If an eighty two year old man steps into the
office of governor California, We're.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Gonna fix everything. You've gonna get the water. It would
be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
You know what I would do if if he'd ever
decided to invi Cavin neussem On, I would I might
try to contact Rogan and you know what I would do.
I would hit him with all the information he'd ever
need and it would be in a merciful slaughter.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Bro.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
He moved, He left California. That's what That's all the
ammo he needs. He left the place he loves, like
so many other Californians because he had enough.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
He had enough.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It was gross.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I thought another funny moment. So we have this you know,
span Burger, Abigail Spanburger running in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
And yeah, she's a woman, so is Winsome Earl Sears,
who's the current Lieutenant governor running for governor. In the
case of what's going on in Virginia, it's very very interesting.
This woman Spamberger won't condemn Joey Jones, who called, you know,
(19:05):
for assassinating the Speaker of the House and his kids
and bringing harm to them. And she won't tell this
idiot to drop out. And it's had a huge impact
on the race. He wants to make Virginia a sanctuary state.
The Commonwealth of Virginia all in favor of this you know,
men and women's sports and locker rooms nonsense. And her
(19:27):
polling is dropped like a rock. That's why I'm telling you.
If you live in New Jersey or you live in
New Jersey. By the way, early voting starts on Saturday,
it just like New York and anyway, and so, and
it had already started in Virginia. So she has all
of these issues. Polls are dropping like crazy. And then
you listen to the liberal you know, liberal Joe A MSDNC.
(19:52):
Now you have two women in the race for governor,
but they're blaming sexism. But the problems that spam Burger
is having in Virginia and I'm like, hello, can you
pay attention here because you haven't win some seers an
American Jamaican American immigrant who's the current lieutenant governor that's
(20:16):
running for governor against the other woman.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
It really is incredible when you have Abigail Spaanberg or
Mikey Cheryl, her background, all the different jobs that she
has held in the military, and also like Alissa Slockkin.
I mean, my god, these women are incredible. And to them,
I would say, fight, fight, fight, because.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
We need them, we need them. And Mikey is like,
she's doing a ton of interviews. You know when I
talked to them, when I was in the car, you know,
it was this car.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
She had gone from interview to interview to talk to
talk to.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
But you know, you still see the anxiety.
Speaker 13 (20:55):
Yeah, Cheryl did have a few missteps in her campaign,
but she still has as you say, about five or
six pointly propolling Spanberger's lead in Virginia a little bigger
than that. But you know, both still competitive races here
heading into the last couple of weeks. But to Mika
Tomali's point, I mean, this is something that a lot
of Democrats are grappling with right now. So they've nominated
women two of the last three elections for the presidency
(21:17):
lost both. There are some who say, well, we can't
do that again, the stakes are too high. But of
course that does fall into the same misogynstic trap.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
Other countries have no problem electing.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Women, Okay, I mean, how do you say it's misogynistic?
And in the case of Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey,
she didn't walk with her class at graduation another you know, transgender,
you know, men and women's sports champion. You won't pledge
not to raise taxes on the people in New Jersey.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And you know, on top of that, she made seven
million dollars and she has no idea how he can't
give an exploit.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I just I just seven million dollars just showed up
in my bank account. I mean, Linda, seven million shows
up in your bank account tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think you might notice.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Oh I would notice. You would notice too, because I
wouldn't be coming in anymore you'd be like, where's Linda? Like, oh,
she got seven million, she has no idea where it
came from. You hit a lot of you would not
did not work anymore.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
For seven million. Let me tell you what I would do,
And do you wonder what I would do if I
had seven million dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
What would you do?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
For several what would you do? You win a lot
of First of all, I'll tell you what I'm going
to do. First of all.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
First of all, I'm going to give three million dollars
to courtes Lelyiz campaign, and I'm going to crush COMMI
Donnie first and foremost. Next, I'm going to give a
million dollars to my siblings. Then I'm going to pay
off everybody's mortgages and whatever remaining money I have left.
I'm going to buy a big farm and save all
of the shelter dogs in America and cats okay order,
and I'm going to hire veterans to come and work
(22:47):
with the shelter dogs.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
So it's a win win for everybody.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Sheltered dogs. You're going to work with the dogs, yeah, And.
Speaker 11 (22:53):
The veterans are going to love it because I'm going
to respect them. They're going to live on the farm
for free room and board, and they're going to get
nice and they're going to have a good time with
the dogs and the cats. And to me, that would
be an amazing life.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, Linda has said in her cat who was five
times the size of a normal cat, are you all right?
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Are you okay? That cat is fine? She was loved that.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Was five times the size of it. Put the picture
on hannity dot com. Though, no of the cat when
I was a fat cat.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
No, she's very shy. She doesn't want her picture shown.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Christ and Connecticut on the Sean Hannity Show, Happy Friday.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Hi, Chris, are you there? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Yeah? Sean? Can you hear me? Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I can hear you? Fine, what's going on?
Speaker 14 (23:34):
So listen? I was I was listening to your show
about two days ago, and there was a young man
that called in I think he was calling from the
Penn State area, said he had gone to some of
these Kings of pro you know, no more Kings protests, right,
And I was really impressed by how you spoke to
him and how you ask questions, and then you wrapped
it up by talking about work ethic and young folks,
(23:57):
and I was I just I really wanted to applaud you.
The way you spoke to the young kid was really commendable.
And the fact that you talked about work ethic with
young kids is really what we need to start doing
again in this country.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
These are the conversations. I'm not going to say that
this came out of nowhere. I mean I have kids
in my twenties myself, and I talk to them about
this all the time, and I'm like, you gotta work,
you gotta serve, and go always go back to my example,
You're not everybody has a purpose.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
God gave everyone talent.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I really believe that, And the best thing that can
happen in your life is you find your talent. Then
you find a way to make money using your talent.
I mean, I had no idea how a big mouth.
All I knew is I liked talking on the radio.
And you know what, I I just whatever it is
that you love, pursue it, find a way to make
money at it, and you'll live your best life in
(24:53):
that way, and you'll be contributing in the best way
possible because that's what you were born to do. But
I find with a lot of young people. You know,
they don't have a work ethic. And I keep telling
my kids, you're never going to be trust fund Bratson.
I'm not letting that happen ever. Ever, you go to
a restaurant, you get greeted by somebody, that person seach you.
Then I go through my whole list. Somebody brings over
(25:15):
and fills your water glass. Then somebody comes over and
takes the drink order, and then somebody makes the drink,
and then they bring the drink to your table. And
then you order appetizers, and then somebody takes the order
and then goes back and the cook cut makes your appetizers.
Then somebody brings it to your table, and then somebody
comes cleans the table, and on and on and on.
You're not we're not kings and queens. We're here to
(25:37):
serve other people in some capacity, and in the process
of doing that, that's the honesty and the real beauty
of capitalism is that then you serve other people in
whatever profession you're doing. And you know, but I want
kids to have a work ethic today. I mean, if
I worry a little bit, you know, I see some
(25:58):
young people there's a little but too much of an
entitlement mentality amongst some among some, but a lot of
them are great kids and they just they need a
little guidance.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And you know, you mentioned something.
You know, sometimes I feel like that. You know, money
is a dirty word, and it shouldn't be. It's a
reward for hard work. Right, You exchange your effort, your
hard work, and you get money in return. And it
kind of you talked about something else, right, you talked
about some bankrupt government programs, you know, Medicaid and disability
(26:30):
and some others. And we need to embrace kind of
fiscal responsibility. It goes hand in hand because if we
don't do it now, it's these young kids that are
going to be bearing the burden because we didn't. We
weren't disciplined today, and we haven't been for the past
probably twenty years or so.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Correct one hundred percent. And we've got to stop robbing
from our kids and grandkids.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
It has to end. We have to draw alight in
the sand.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I am confident that under President Trump, you're going to
see revenues increase if we can get a control of spending.
And this is where I like I like the idea
of Connie mac first introduced it in the House and
Ram Paul still supports it.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And that's the Penny plan. I like that a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, cut one dollar out of one penny out
of every dollar you spend, and you stop baseline budgeting,
which has built in increases in everything, and it would
be a way to get your budget imbalance. And if
you increase revenues because of the tax cuts, the seventeen
eighteen trillion and new committed moneys for manufacturing investment and
(27:37):
oil moneies, that this country should be, you know, having
dividends from in the years in the future. I think
that it's an I think it's a formula for great success,
and I hope it is.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But anyway, I'm glad you like to Chris god blesh
you man, you have a great weekend.
Speaker 14 (27:51):
Right likewise, dude, save yourself.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Eight hundred nine to four one, Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program. We have a
minute left. Let's go to Paul in New York. What's up, Paul.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
We have a minute.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's all yours, take it and run.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
How you doing, John, I'm a retired police officer. I
was twenty seven years almost. I was for nineteen years.
I was an elected representative PBA delegate, I was on
the political committee. I want to talk about the mayor's race.
The idea, excuse me, that Cuomo, who already lost to Moondami,
then now come back and beat him is a bit
(28:29):
far fetched. Some of the reasons for that. They're assuming.
They're making assumptions that the Republicans, if Homo drops out
and all these Republicans are going to vote for Pomo.
That's not going to happen. Definitely not going to happen.
The diehard Republicans will never do that. The moderate Republicans
remember some of the reasons why we're in the position
(28:52):
we're in now because of him, because of his actions.
The crime, I.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Totally agree with your analysis, is not a single poll
head to head Mamdani and Cuomo that chose Cuomo close.
And you know, we always say we want politicians that
are principal. Hurtis is like I can't be bought and
I'm not getting out and you're not pushing me out.
That sounds like he's standing on his principles and we're
going to criticize him for that I'm not I won't
(29:17):
do it, and that's going to wrap things up today,
all right. The President, it's a twenty four hour trip
as he heads to various countries in Asia, culminating with
his meeting with President Chi of China. Will a full
complete coverage of that democratic meltdown. We're on Schumer's shutdown watch.
Will they open the government or are they going to
(29:39):
let people poor people in the country go hungry? Anyway,
we'll be monitoring all of it. Have a great, great weekend.
We'll be back here on Monday. Thank you for making
this show possible.
