Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Happy Friday, glad you are all with us?
Right down our toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred
and nine four one, sewn. You want to be a
part of the program. What a week it's been. Well,
we finally got one hundred percent in and we have
to go double go back and recamvas and double check
it because we don't even believe our own numbers. Out
of the Iowa caucus. For me, what was the best

(00:21):
State of the Union address I had heard in my lifetime?
That was amazing? And yes, I would say that Donald J.
Trump has now been acquitted forever. Oh well, he's impeached forever.
You know. Some Republicans would say, man, maybe not so fast,
because if we get back to House in two hundred
and seventy days, we might undo this colossal disservice and

(00:46):
injustice that had taken place. Here was what you know, whatever,
it's to me, it's the right results happened. It is
who they are. They've been exposed. How could you be
as incompetent, is not even be able to count vote?
Said a caucus. But then again, this is the party
that he had. Donald Brazil even admits, you know, cheated
Bernie Sanders out of a nomination, and they rigged a

(01:08):
primary in twenty sixteen. And we know that the real
people colluding with Russia. Russia were the people that first
exonerated Hillary when any one of us would have been
arrested and probably prosecuted for the Espionage Act and clearly
obstruction of justice if we deleted subpoenaed emails and bleach

(01:30):
bit and hammers, and you know, then, of course the
dirty Russian dossier leaked to the media, Hillary Clinton's bought
and paid for dirty Russian dossier what was likely Russian
disinformation from the get go, according to The New York Times,
they came in late on that. By the way, they
were all in on the conspiracy theory hoax for most
of the time. And now we are two hundred and

(01:53):
seventy days away from the ultimatuity. Also a good week too,
was great to have Rush back on the air today.
I know many of you have written us and are
telling us you're praying for him, and we all are,
and it was great. What happened for him this week,
well deserved and we couldn't be happier. Then we have
the announcement today that there was a strike in Yemen.

(02:16):
We've been hearing about this now for a couple of days,
and apparently it's now confirmed that al Qaeda's top leader
because sam l Remi Remi was killed in Yemen in
an airstrike. Yes, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump,
Bagdaddy solomony, and now the leader, top leader of al

(02:38):
Qaeda in Yemen dead. Okay. I'd say that's a pretty
good track record. And then you can look at the economy.
What is what was sleepy creepy quid pro quote Joe
always saying, well, Jim's Parker and Ben Lauden's dead. Okay,
We've got three dead leaders now and we have every
record unemployment number shattered, the best employment situation since nineteen

(03:02):
sixty nine. And the Democrat what they want, they want
the economy back. I'll tell you though, the thing that's frustrating,
and I keep saying everybody, you know, people say, all right, well,
thankfully this is over, Thankfully this is done. It's not done.
The only way we prevent this madness Petty Pelosi, the compromise,

(03:26):
corrupt congenital liar, Adam Schiff, Nutty Nadler and the rest
of the you know, then we have the squad members.
The only way to stop this if you don't want
endless investigations, lies, conspiracy theories, and you'd actually like to
to free up a president and free up a Congress
to do some work to serve we the American people,

(03:48):
is they've all got to go. There's two things that
have to happen simultaneously. One, we've got to get to
the bottom. And it's really got to go back to Hillary.
Hillary cannot get a way with the obstruction of justice.
We know she's guilty of. Same with the Espionage Act.
The people that were responsible for premeditated fraud on the

(04:10):
Pies accord premeditated because they were warn numerous times, don't
trust the dirty Clinton Boughton paid for Russian dossier. It's
not been verified, but it says at the top of
a FIES application verified. Well, we now know it's unverifiable.
Christopher still didn't even stand by his own dossier, and

(04:32):
when they finally did get around to trying to verify
the document, they proved over ninety percent of it was
just outright false, not true. And yet Devin Nunez told
us the truth and his memo and Lindsey Graham told
us the truth, and Senator Grassly told us the truth.
The bulk of information in those pies applications or is

(04:54):
in fact the dirty unverifiable Clinton Boughton paid for Russian dossier,
likely Russian disinformation from the beginning from the New York Times.
By the way, when The New York Times says that,
you know what they're really saying, they're saying that if
the Russians knew and it was disinformation from them from
the get go, well it sounds like the Russians were
actually really trying to help out Hillary Clinton in the

(05:16):
twenty sixteen election. You know, nobody wants to pay attention,
and you know it drives me nuts. You know, nobody
seemed to care that Bernie was ripped off in a
rigged primary. Now they're actually making public maneuvers to set
it up so they might be able to do it again,
and they're changing the rules on debates. All right, Well,

(05:37):
maybe Bloomberg can come in because I will take a
shot on him, and he's got a lot of problems today.
I'll get to because quid pro quote, Joe is toast.
I took a punch in the gut in Iowa, will
anybody could have seen that happen. And it doesn't matter
any of these Democrats anyway. They're all nuts, they're all radical,

(05:58):
extreme socialists. The only way they're going to get votes
in their party is if they go to that that
hardcore left extreme where they're all going, and that extreme
means what the New Green Deal ninety four trillion dollars
in ten years, and medicare for all fifty two trillion
dollars in ten years. We don't even take in enough

(06:19):
money for either one of those individually, without even spending
a penny on national defense or any of the other
services that government is supposed to provide. You take oil
and gas, the life blood of our economy, out of
the equation. The four trillion that we do take in,
will you know, dwindle down to next to nothing because
nobody's gonna make any money. You know, there won't be

(06:41):
you know, everybody will have institutionalized economic decline and depression,
leveled unemployment, and an economic disaster that is unparalleled. Likely
can't take away the lifeblood of America's economy, the world's economy,
oil and gas. If you have an alternative, My advice
to all you New Green deal. People come up with

(07:04):
the technology that will absolutely replace oil and gas that
is inexpensive, and I guarantee you if it can power
American industry and not impact our lives in any negative way,
and it's inexpensive, and you discover it, you will be
not only a billion eira trillionaire. So I urge you

(07:27):
use your genius, socialist, radical, extreme democratic minds and come
up with a solution. I'm all for it, I really am. Anyway,
So it's been a heck of a week and we're
still in the position that I wish I could tell
you what the results will be in two hundred and
seventy days. I've made all the arguments I can think

(07:49):
of in terms of what looks good for President Trump,
what the Democrats would do to the country if they
got power back. Never mind dumping one hundred and fifty
billion in other currencies on the tarmac in Iran and
Tehran for the Mullows and Iran. That was dumb too. Meanwhile,
the President is now what Look what he's done for Israel.

(08:09):
Look what he's done to the state of Iran. Look
with the trade deal he's gotten done with China. Amazing stuff.
M on the twenty twenty front. Well, this was pretty
interesting assault in Politico. Apparently, she, like Bernie Sanders, is
traveling around all over the place and private jets too,
But that's a side issue anyway. They're talking about Warren's

(08:33):
supporters blasting Buddha Judge. I'm reading from Politico for taking
advantage of white male privilege. Anyway, this dwindling support. She's
getting political rights peepe. Buddha Judge returned to New Hampshire.
He's up significantly in a poll there this week, riding
a wave of momentum generated by his surprisingly strong Iowa finish.

(08:57):
If it's accurate. Who knows at this point, but he
was greeted by pushback from some of the most powerful
women in the state, who saw a double standard in
his declaration of victory in Iowa late Monday. In their view,
again from the Politico reading, the thirty eight year old
mayor's unexpected victory declaration smacked of white male privilege, hubris,

(09:19):
and a lack of, you know, equality that a female
candidate would be criticized for. In a moment where he
should show composure and measure He's not doing that, said
Jen Alfred Taster. Tester teaser, I don't know Senator a
warrant supporter Democratic activists running for the Senate. But he's

(09:40):
not going to get away with it, because that's what happens.
When you're a man, you can do whatever you want.
For women, we are held to a different standard. It's
demoralizing as a candidate and it's demoralizing as a voter.
All right, that's what they want to do in the party.
Why would I get in the way and stop that
shift show? You know, identity politics from within the ranks,

(10:02):
it is it is beyond chaos for them at this point.
It is nuts at this point. Now Morning Consult, if
their poll is accurate, Mayor Pete may want to keep
the champagne on ice. The majority of Democratic voters nationwide
are more likely to vote for Bernie Sanders in the

(10:22):
aftermath of the Iowa Caucus Schumer shift sham show. And
so anyway, that's what they're saying. A full fifty two
percent of respondents released yesterday said that they were leaning
more towards backing Sanders for the Democratic nomination following what
happened in Iowa, and of those, twenty nine percent said
they were much more likely while twenty three percent they

(10:45):
were somewhat more likely. That's pretty interesting. And despite performing
poorly in Iowa, quid pro quo, Joe came in second
in Poland. Be interesting to see if that holds for him. Now, Bloomberg,
this is getting interesting, is now beginning to battle. He
thinks he can wait out Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada,

(11:06):
and he's going to join the fray I guess at
some point for Super Tuesday. Bernie Sanders now is complaining
the DNC is catering to Bloomberg and they are changing
the rules. But the three hundred million dollars that Bloomberg
apparently has spent up to this point on his presidential
campaigns so far bought him about ten percent of the

(11:26):
Democratic vote according to the latest polls. He's reportedly willing
to spend another billion dollars to buy the nomination. Now.
The Hill points out that Bernie Sanders is blasting the
DNC for their decision to eliminate their fundraising requirement for candidates. Normally,
you'd need two hundred and fifty thousand unique donors to
qualify for a debate. That was one of the criteria

(11:49):
that they used. He said, it's an outrage, and he
said during a press conference in New Hampshire, rules or rules,
and people like former Housing and Urban Development secret Terry
Julian Castro played by the rules. He campaigned, really hard
Corey Booker played by the rules, Tulsey Gabbert played by
the rules, and Andrew Gang played by the rules. Suddenly

(12:09):
a guy comes in has not campaigned one bit and
I or New Hampshire. But he's worth fifty five billion.
And I guess if you're worth fifty five billion, you
can pay to get the rules changed. Now Bloomberg's also
being accused in a major way, and I'll get to
this when we get back of plagiarism on eight of
his specific plans. So this shift show within the Democratic

(12:35):
primary ranks is just beginning, and it's only going to
get worse. And I'm beginning to think Carl Rove called
it first. New Ingrich echoed Carl's comments about a broker
convention that'll be a shift show, might be even worth
going to watch. Eight nine one Sean is I'm sorry,
I was like reading something here. I didn't have my

(12:56):
headphones on, so I didn't know I was coming back
now I have my headphones on, all right, So here
is something that now I guess if you're putting your
hope that, oh, it's gonna be Bloomberg Nick that eventually
comes in with the billions in to the rescue. Look,
Bloomberg is gonna run what anti gun ads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan.
And you know, I don't think the people in any

(13:17):
part of the country want to be told what they
can drink or how much salt they can be that
they can put on their food. I don't think anyone's
gonna believe that he's really sorry, you know, eighteen years
after the fact that he for twelve years supported for
all those years supported stopping frisk and again that now

(13:37):
we're now we're back. It's sort of like the battle
with Warren and Buddha Judge over identity politics. And he's thinking, Okay,
what do I need to say to get you know,
this part of the coalition of the Democratic Party. How
do I appeal to African Americans, to women? You know?
How about you just appealed to everybody. I'm gonna keep
the country safe and secure, and I'm gonna create jobs

(14:00):
and prosperity for the American people. There you go. It's
with one great American family here. I've never understood it anyway.
So this is fascinating because, I mean, it's just out
there what he's done, and that is that he's now
being accused of plagiarizing at least eight of his plans

(14:22):
and portions of the plans for maternal health, lgbtqequality, the economy,
tax policy, infrastructure, mental health issues from research publications, media outlets, etc. Etc. Anyway,
the intercept found the exact same passages and at least
eight of the Bloomberg plans or accompanying fact sheets or

(14:46):
direct copies of material from media outlets including fake News, CNN, Time, CBS,
a research center at John Jay College of Criminal Justice,
and American Medical Association in Every Town for Gun Safety
and Building, America's Future Educational Fund, and other organizations. I

(15:07):
can tell you probably what happened. He probably just has
all these people he's paying. Oh, you put it together.
I don't care about these plans. Put down whatever you
think is gonna help me win, and that's not gonna fly.
I mean something, Occasionally you can make an attribution error.
I try to always give attribution when i'm when I'm
I'm giving out information on this program. Why because the
people that put it together deserve the credit for their work.

(15:30):
Occasionally make a mistake, but I try not to do that. Ever,
he did it in mass that's a problem. Twenty five
to the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine
four one Sean, you want to be a part of
the program. So you got the battle emerging between Buddha
Judge and Elizabeth Warren over white male privilege. That's getting interesting.

(15:51):
One thing I didn't share with you I meant to
share with you is we have poles showing Bernie getting
the biggest boost from the Iowa fiasco, although Bood Judge
in another pole is now catching up with Sanders, so
that that's going to be interesting to watch. If you
look at the Suffolk University survey for the Boston Globe

(16:11):
and w b ZTV released late last night, it indicates
that the former Horrific South Bend mayor has now closed
the inn on the Senator from Vermont, likely voters in
the next From likely voters in the next primary, which
is Tuesday in New Hampshire, We'll be doing the show
from New Hampshire next week. Suffolk Anyway, University conducting a

(16:35):
daily tracking poll, and their latest survey showed Sanders at
twenty four percent support among likely Democratic primary voters in
New Hampshire, slightly edging down of just one percent from
the previous survey, and Buddha Judge stands at twenty three.
So you got a real race here. Warren now is

(16:56):
just at thirteen percent. Looks like she's dropped like a rock.
So you got the fight with Warren Now and Buddha Judge.
Bernie looking at a full fifty two percent of respondence
in the morning Console survey. If you look nationwide, he's
doing better nationwide as of now with the base of
the Democratic Party than Buddha Judge. Back to this Bloomberg

(17:19):
plagiarism charge here by the intercept figured this all out.
I think the worst part of this is, you know,
there was no thought put into this because when they
were confronted by the intercept, you know, and they sent
a detailed you know, you're lifting all of this information

(17:40):
from this site, this site, this site, this site, and
this site was zero attribution. Well, then the campaign ends
up reposting plans and just removing what the intercept had revealed.
I mean, is that how there is that how they
make policy up with all these people, they fifteen hundred
people already working for the Bloomberg campaign. They never denied

(18:03):
the plagiarism, they never apologize for the plagiarism. And their
answer was even worse because they said, much of what
you flagged were fact sheets that went out via mail Chimp,
whatever that is. You know what that is. It's an
online I guess newsletter service of some kind, quote which
doesn't support footnote format formatting. You're gonna blame it on.

(18:28):
So basically, you're just taking your policies and making them
up from some service called mail Chimp, some online newsletter service,
and they don't do footnoting, so therefore you just copy
what they put out, so you kind of almost you know,
it's like a double plagiarism, if you will. But the
fact that that's how they put their plans together shows

(18:48):
how little thought they are putting into this. And the
only thing they're rarely putting thought into is attacking Donald
Trump and trying to steal the nomination away from Bernie Sanders.
And it's kind of pathetic anyway. When they announced the
policy platforms, we put detailed fact sheets with context and
support background, so our reporters understand the problems we're trying

(19:10):
to solve with our policy. That's not the answer at all,
because they put it in as if it was their
real policy. So they're not even being honest after they
got caught. And the worst part is Bloomberg didn't do
any of this. There's no clue on any of these issues,
never done a real interview, never had a real debate.
And you know, I'm sure he's now with fifteen hundred

(19:31):
workers they're working on what does he have to say
about this issue that's going to appeal to this part
of the coalition of the radical extreme Democratic Party. That's
where his biggest problem is going to be with the
Democratic Party. The biggest problem already with the candidates is
they can see that he's being treated differently because he's rich.
I thought the label being rich was so bad. Well

(19:56):
not if you're Michael Bloomberg. Elizabeth Warren apologized after six
women where is this from Fox News? Six minority women
quit her Nevada campaign. She's now had to apologize. The
staffers were working in the early voting state of Nevada.

(20:16):
They left the campaign complaining of feeling quote tokenized and
having to deal with a toxic work environment. The staffers,
all women of all left. It was a seventy person
team out in Nevada and the three of them saying
that they felt marginalized and that their grievances were not
addressed despite taking them to superiors and to human resources

(20:41):
staff quote during the time I was employed for Nevada
for Warren, there were definitely there's definitely something wrong with
the culture, said Megan Lewis, Field, organizer joined the campaign
in May and departed in December. I filed the complaint
with HR, but the follow up I received left me
feeling as though I needed to make myself smaller or

(21:02):
change who I was to fit into the office culture.
Another organizer who left the campaign didn't want her name
published for fear of reprisal, told the online outlet that
she felt that she was brought on the campaign quote
to literally bring color into the space, but not the
knowledge and voice that comes with it, adding we were

(21:24):
all routinely silenced and not given a meaningful chance on
the campaign, and it just goes on from there. Buddha
Judge is getting backlash from pro life women after the
infantside answer, you're extremely radical. Apparently, sweet baby James told

(21:45):
me this, Linda. I don't know if she saw this. Yeah,
she's shaken her head, you understand. And it was really
kind of bizarre because what I mentioned, the word post
birth abortion or infantside, whatever you want to call it,
and people saying that I made it up. I'm just
lying about that. Well, we have the governor of the

(22:05):
great State of Virginia. You know, first we're gonna make
the baby comfortable. And first we'll deliver the baby and
make sure the baby's comfortable, and then we'll let the
mother decide. And if you remember what was being argued
at the time, and it wasn't just in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, went what eight ten states were arguing this,
this whole issue of even if you are in the
process of delivering a child, their bills in these states

(22:30):
would allow women to take viable children and quote, you know,
basically murder them. I mean that's the only answer. They're viable,
they live on their own at that point. But even
during the birthing process. Anyway, We're gonna pull up that
old tape because to me, it shocked the conscience. I

(22:51):
would have thought that issue had died for the Democratic
Party because and it didn't. It actually went more viral
and other states started adopting versions of it. This is
what the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia said. It's
his own words. For those of you attacking me on
social media. If a mother is in labor, I can
tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered,

(23:15):
the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be
resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.
And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and
the mother. The baby would be delivered, the baby would
be made comfortable, the baby would be resuscitated if that's

(23:36):
what the mother decided. Well, the baby is now a person.
The baby is you know, when did we get that
cold hearted? How is that possible? I mean it shocks
the conscience. And in the lead up you have this
state Rep. Kathy Trand describing that it would be legal

(24:01):
during the birthing process. In other words, you given birth
to a baby, but you could still have an abortion.
According to her bill listen, how late in the third
trimester could a physician perform an abortion? If he indicated
it would impair the mental health of the woman or
physical health. Okay, okay, I'm talking about the mental health.

(24:22):
So I mean through the third trimester. The third trimester
goes all the way up to forty weeks, okay, but
to the end of the third trimester, yep. I don't
think we have a limit in the bill. So where
it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth,
she has physical signs that she is about to give
a birth, would that still be a point at which
she could request an abortion if she was so certified

(24:48):
she's dilating, mister chairman, that would be a you know,
a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman
understand that. I'm asking if your bill allows that, bill
would allow that, Yes, a bill during the giving of birth,
now want you, I'm trying to understand. So I said

(25:09):
exactly that, and because that's just what they said, and
then other states got on board, and I mean it,
I have I know many people I live in New York,
many people that will say describe themselves as pro choice.
They hear this and it they're like, no, that's not

(25:30):
what we believe at all. You know, if you're gonna
get an abortion. Whatever. It's got to be immediate, like
in the first month or trimester maximum. I mean, you know,
at what point when a child can live, can be
viable on his or her own. Do we have an
obligation to protect the most innocent? Because that's what it is.

(25:54):
By the way, Michael Bloomberg, more news on him. He's
actually paying influencers to make him seem cool. I'm not
making this up. It's in the Daily Beast. One day
after the Iowa caucus is effectively botched by the disastrous rollout,
billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced that he intended to capitalize on

(26:15):
the chaos in the Hawkeye state by doubling the advertising
budget of his presidential campaign. But in addition to a
flood of traditional advertising on television, radio, online targets, and
targeting Super Tuesday voters, the campaign's advertising budget includes a
strategy familiar to every other startup, with tons of cash
and a questionable business model, paying influencers to make it

(26:40):
seem cool. Now this is this is a booming business.
I don't know if you know what this is yet,
but anyway, so the Bloomberg campaign is now begun quietly
a campaign of branding content marketplaces what it is which
connects social media influencers with brands who want to advertise

(27:00):
their followers to pitch influencers on creating content highlighting why
they love Mike Bloomberg, but they get paid to love
Mike Bloomberg, for example, for a fixed one hundred and
fifty dollars fee. The Bloomberg campaign is pitching micro influencers,
someone who has say a thousand or one hundred thousand
followers in the industry maybe whatever social media be it,

(27:23):
you know, for example Instagram. If you're a Kardashian and
you decide you want to wear somebody's particular brand of
clothing or a particular brand of jewelry, and you put
it up on your account, guess what they pay you
big money for that, huge money for that. I mean,
I think the youngest Kardashian is what worth like a
billion dollars, didn't she at this point? Yep? Yeah, right

(27:47):
and through, And I'm correct that there's huge money in
doing this, right, So I could actually maybe I could
become a Bloomberg influencer, and you know, we have millions
and millions of followers and we'll get Bloomberg to pay me.
And I'll just hold up a Bloomberg for President's side.
I mean, it's really okay, you're gonna pay me money
to say I like this crap of yours with me.

(28:10):
Nobody's gonna believe it. It's a sad world when you
have to pay for friends. That exactly that he's paying
for friends exactly. He's playing paying to seem like he's
really cool. Let me get the cool people to support me. Now.
The ironic thing is okay, the Kim Kardashian, Kanye West,
actually you have a good relationship of President Trump, and

(28:32):
this is quintessential Trump. They go see Trump, they tell
him about Alice Marie Johnson and we had on this
program this week and on TV this week and say, hey,
this woman has done all of this. She's had one
drug offense, a life sentence. It's unfair. Look at what
she's done with her time in prison. They got not
only her free. Then they follow it up again and said,

(28:52):
all right, let's have full criminal justice reform. Good idea.
And guess what, Kanye West and and Kim Kardashian deserve
a lot of credit for that, and the President deserves
a lot of credit for saying, you're right, we need
to do that. Hillary Clinton is now claiming a woman
could never get away with emotionally acting out like Trump.

(29:14):
Here we go again. Do I even want to go
down this road? Bernie Sanders, I acknowledge there will be
some job loss with my climate plans. That's a great
campaign slogan. You got. Elizabeth Warren, I guess is on
msd NC, and you know, blaming I guess a long

(29:35):
legacy of racism for her problems that she has with
labor unions. I guess anyway the issue, and I guess
putting the best spin on possible. I guess one of
their MSDNC reporters are hosts saying there's a story in
political I saw you responded to I want you to
get your response about six women of color and Nevada

(29:56):
all this well, you know, and then he goes, I
saw you responded to that and apologize. What do you
want to say in response to what you're learning about that? Oh? Go,
good grief? How about where one great American family, glorious
nation under God, we are one great American family. And
you got area of fifty one Roswell Rachel Maddow having

(30:18):
to press the DNC chair over the low Democratic turnout
in Iowa. You know, had big turnout in Iowa, Donald
Trump in his uncontested primary. Pretty amazing times we're living,
and i'll tell you that. All right, a lot of
news to get to the latest. What a week it's
ben the shift show in the Iowa Democratic Caucus, and

(30:39):
we'll get to that. The president's State of the Union address.
Even critics home run Van Jones is warning that Donald
Trump is getting African Americans report and greater numbers than
anybody ever thought. Why, because he's doing great things for
everybody in every demographic. We'll have that debate come up

(31:00):
throughout the course of the program, too. Pay loaded. The
President was so funny yesterday with Congressman Jim Jordan. He'll
join us. What a week it's been. The chaos in Iowa.
The State of the Union was spectacular. The acquitted for life. Yes,
that now is Donald Trump's. It stays with history. Love

(31:21):
that too. All coming up straight a hut. So he's
the NCAA meaning a couple of years ago when he
was in college wrestling champion NA that's the big deal.
That means in all of college. You're the champ, You're
the best. His record was ridiculous. Nobody would nobody could
beat him. And I see it, you know, every time

(31:43):
I see it. When I first got to know him,
Jim Jordan. When I first got to know Jim, I said,
he never is a jacket. Hell's going on. He's obviously
very proud of his buddy. And they say where he

(32:05):
works out, you know, with the congressman senators they work
at They say, when Jim works out, even though he's
not as young as he was, but he works out,
the machine starts burning there. Here's just a different form
of a workout than us, right, Sonny, And there he is.
Look at that guy. But one day I'm looking and
it looks tough, and I'm looking and I'm looking at

(32:25):
those ears, and I say, those ears have something going
on there. I said, did you ever wrestle? Yeah? I did,
But he doesn't talk. But I checked. This guy was
a world This guy was a champion, top top wrestler.
And when I had the top, I had all of
the teams. And by the way, your super Bowl champions
are coming I think next week or soon very soon,

(32:47):
and they, every one of them want to be here,
and the coach love is as the coach is great,
Andy Reid, and every one of them want to be here.
We have people love it. But we had all of
the NCAA championship teams here. They had the golf, the
basketball that they had every team here, and one of
the teams was wrestling. The wrestling team was that Penn State,

(33:12):
and Penn State won the title of a great team.
And I walked up with Jim and it's like I
didn't exist. Those wrestlers they grabbed him. They loved Jim Jordan,
and we love you too because you are some warrior.
All right. That was the president. I mean, this was
an incredible press conference the President had yesterday on the

(33:34):
heels of the National Prayer Breakfast, and the President, in
his very unique style and way, very funny, actually thanking
those people that were out there fighting against never ending
injustices that have been thrown his way for three solid years,
three years, never ending non stop, in saying hatred, Psychosa's

(33:58):
rage and conspiracy theories and lies and slander in the
whole bucket list, and what he was saying in Congressman
Jim Jordan, friend of this program is thank you and
what he was saying to Steve Scalise, you look better,
and you know it's cracking everybody up. Um, thank you,
and the Freedom Caucus, thank you, and Mark Meadows and
Devin Newness and John Ratcliffe and Andy Biggs, thank you. Anyway,

(34:21):
Jim Jordan is with us now. Andy Biggs also with us. Uh, Jim,
how many how many wrestling matches did you lose? And
why don't you wear a jacket? I didn't even think
about that until I heard it. Well, he see it.
Thanks John Hannity too for all you do for the
country but not about me. Is a special day. And um,
you think about what this, what this president in spite

(34:41):
of this, this relentless attack on him, what he has
done for our country. He saw the jobs report, but
we we we we saw that State of the Union
address and everything that the news that came out this week,
and the Democrats just put a sour you know on
all the time. Um, but he's doing the right things
for the country. And I guess you know, it was
kind of funny yesterday the way the way he does it.

(35:02):
It is just it's just funny the way he goes
through it. But it's uh, I Percie this pride. It's
almost like he wants to thank any everybody, but he's
gonna roast Joli, thanks you, and and make it funny
and entertaining one. You know, Andy Biggs, I say, it's
like the greatest show on Earth. But the best part
of the show is that America's you know, look look
at that State of the Union address, look at every

(35:23):
record on the economy that's been shattered, look at the
foreign policy success with Solomoni bag Daddy, the Caliphate dead,
and and you can look at the promises he made
and the promises he's kept. I think he makes a
strong case that you know, in spite of really difficult
working conditions, he can accomplish a hell of a lot.

(35:44):
Imagine if we actually got rid of the Democrats in
the House and the Senate, and you know, there's no
telling how far we could go. Oh, that's exactly right.
I mean, this president has a unique capability to lead
and get things done. I mean he's driven by his
desire to succeed, and he's just driven by his desire
for the country to succeed. I mean every area you're

(36:05):
talking about that he has succeeded, and it has come
with an unprecedented attempt. I would call it a coup.
It was a criminal conspiracy to remove this president. And
he was able to bring this country to economic stability
again great foundation. Knew our prestige in the world and

(36:27):
the optimism that America has always known because we are
free people. And he really hit on all those points
at his State of the Union the other night. And
you know, you got people like Jim, people like you
who've really really provided the cover against these these people,
I mean called them horrible people yesterday. He's exactly right.
These are horrible people that are trying to undermine this country.

(36:49):
But he has a unique capacity to lead and help
us to become a strong country again. But do you
see the problem is and I brought this up all
throughout the show last night, and brought it up on
this program yes today, the biggest problem we now faces,
you know, Nadler and the congenital compromise, liar shift, and
they're not stopping. And to me, it's, you know, if

(37:10):
we don't get to the bottom, and I'm serious about this,
we don't get to the bottom of all of this
and where all of this came from. If if Joe
and Hunter are allowed to get away with us. We've
got a problem if we don't get to the bottom
of those involved and premeditated fraud on AFIZA abuse or
Hillary being held accountable for the deletions of subpoena emails

(37:33):
and Bleach Bitten Hammers and the Espionage Act and everything else.
If the structs and pages and the mccabees and the
Comys of the world get away with everything, I just
I don't see how it ever ends completely because it's
Nadler and Shift already talking about more impeachment and more investigations. Yeah,
that's really never gonna stop. Yeah, so the only the

(37:54):
only antidote is to elect Republicans in the House and Senate. Yeah,
that's gonna happen. That's gonna happen this fall. If I
could any that's going to happen. This false on you.
You're right there. The American people see this, and look,
Bill Barr and John Durham are going to get to
the bottom of what happened in crossfire Hurricane to Trump
Russia investigation, and Senator Johnson Senator Grassler are already trying
to figure out what exactly Hunter Biden was up to

(38:15):
and what was going on there. So we got we
just we just gotta do the hard work. But we
have to understand they're never gonna stop. I mean now
they's talking about sepoena and Bolton Shift is talking about
the same thing bringing him in. They are never going
to quit. So we just got to keep focused on
doing what we need to do, doing what the American
people elected us do. The truth wins in the end,
and that is the key. I mean, the truth wanders impeachment.

(38:37):
So just focus on the truth, getting the truth out
to the the American people, and we will be fine coming
this November. This November's election, well, I mean it's it's
definitely doable because I don't see that they've done anything
for the country here except I hate the president, and
I think the accomplishments speak for themselves. What do you
make of this? You know, Shift show if you will.
With the Iowa caucus, oh, I'll tell you. I think

(39:00):
I think the indicative of their inability to even run
a caucus with fewer than twenty five hundred voters. I
mean Sean Sheila Jackson Lee asked for the FBI to
investigate to see if Russia hacked into the voting app there.
That's how out of touch they are. They're incompetent. But
I think it also points to the fact that that

(39:24):
Republicans had their act together, because on the other side
of that, the Republican caucuses would perfectly. The enthusiasm was
far greater, had more voters, and I hope that is
an indication of things to come. And look, I think
the agenda is the right thing. The one thing I
will say is that for once, the Republicans and I
think both of you know how critical I've been, except

(39:45):
with the exception frankly of the Freedom Caucus guys. I mean,
I've seen and said about Republicans that they are weak, spineless, visionless,
that they you know, that they don't fight, they don't
keep their promises. For the first time since maybe twenty ten,
I see a realignment happening, that there is a revitalized

(40:07):
Republican Party. Jim Jordan and you know, and Kevin McCarthy,
I got a tip my hat to him. I mean,
when he brought you into those hearings specifically, and by
the way, the second you get brought into the hearings,
they start leaking horrible articles about Jim Jordan, that have
been debunked and which you know the price, I guess
we all pay if we stand up for anything. And

(40:27):
now even he's taken it a step further. He seems
like that the leadership in Congress is now understanding that
the Freedom Caucus is trying to hold the entire caucus
true to their conservative promises and values. Yeah, no, we
have never been this united. President Trump has done this.
Kevin has done a great job as well. But President

(40:49):
Trump is not only United Republicans. He's brought new people
to the party. I remember sharing this with you, son
clear back in twenty sixteen. I'm at a campaign event
and this guy, there's a long line of few black
to some speeches, and they're walking up to talk to me.
And this guy gets up to me. They're gonna say loo.
He just points. He says, I'm a Union member and
I'm voting for Donald Trump. And I said, God bless,
I said, my dad's the Union guy. He's voting for

(41:09):
Donald's We're seeing a realignment of the party. I didn't
have itetting youngs count o'hile like five hundred Republicans. We didn't.
I didn't think there are that many Republicans in Youngstown.
That is what's changing. This. Not only is President Trump
uniting the party, He's bringing new people to the Republican Party.
And I think in Ohio and Wisconsin, in Michigan and
Pennsylvania and all across our country, they're going to show

(41:30):
up in November and speak loudly and speak clearly. Is
it possible, and I know you're replacing Doug Collins um
as it relates to the Judiciary Committee and sharing that
an important committee. Is it possible to rescind this impeachment
if the Republicans get back power. Yeah, I think it is.
I mean, I think we can do a resolution. I

(41:51):
know Andy's been looking into that, others have as well.
I think that that that we can, but I think
we should. Frankly, but the American people see this, but
they saw this that the truth was on the president side.
Four Democrats voted with us, two voted excuse me, three
voted with us, one of them voted president. One of
them even switched parties. That's how long this whole thing was,

(42:11):
that this process we went through. So if we get
that opportunity, and I think there's a good chance we
can take it back, we should do that. I think
it's definitely possible. Andy Biggs. Yeah, No, it's definitely possible,
legally possible, constitutionally possible, and I think we should do it.
I think we should do it because this has been, gosh, frankly,
one of the one of the worst setups I've ever seen.

(42:34):
It was corrupt from the beginning, you know. I just
I can't see the country rewarding them either in two
hundred and seventy days. I mean, I mean, I think
the country sees I think the country is adapted to
the president's unique style. But I think the country knew
they were electing an iconoclastic figure, a non establishment figure,
a disruptive figure, and I think that they rightly did

(42:58):
so based on what has been happening to the country.
And I think now, in spite of the media feigning
their outrage that the President said bas as if none
of them ever say it, um that the American people
get it. And they like the jobs, and they like
that we're not getting wrapped up in foreign entanglements, and
they like better trade deals, and they like energy independence,

(43:20):
and they think that the radical socialists that want to
take our cars and oil and gas are nuts and
they are nuts. They are what you're doing for the country, Yeah,
go ahead, go ahead. Well, they like what they like
what he's doing for the country. They like the results,
and they every time the president speaks these big rallies
that the president has, I'm convinced every single person in

(43:40):
that arena, in that in that building knows that the
president truly cares for them. He has a way of
communicating he's looking out for their interests, he's fighting for
their family, he's fighting for their community. And they see
the results and they understand that this president truly wants
to make America great, truly wants to keep America great,
truly wants to fight for the things he said he
was going to fight for the we elected him to do.

(44:01):
And that comes through every single ton. The crazy left
doesn't see that, but most Americans do. And that's why this.
They appreciate the work that this guy is doing on
their behalf. I think that's what the difference is. How
does this now play out the next two hundred and
seventy days? Who do you guys? See, We'll start with
you Andy. On the Democratic side. Emerging is that Sanders

(44:21):
is a Buddha judge, is at Bloomberg. I mean, who
emerges that you think. I think Buddha Judge is going
to be the one that emerges. And I think because
the Democrats. Democrats have to fix in there. I mean,
part of what Iowa was about, part of what you're
going to see in New Hampshire is they're going to
try to suppress Bernie Sanders. They don't want him there.
And Buddha Judge is quite a potentially divisive figure in

(44:44):
his own right. Um, and I think that that that
he's the guy that they're gonna try to hang their
head on. But I don't think he's gonna have the gas,
not not in the least to derail what President Trump
has done. I mean, just a quick point on the rallies.
Everybody that goes in there, they become an evangelist. They
know how, how they feel, they understand, their lives have

(45:07):
been improved since we got rid of the old regime
and brought in this new president, new administration. The reality
is they become evangelist and that is part of the
magic of the rallies of Donald Trump. By the way,
I mean, you didn't even give about you didn't even
give him a fight. Jim Jordan, what's up with that?
I mean, you're a wrestler. You just you know, you
just folded like a cheap suit. All we did is

(45:28):
called the Honorary Member of the Freedom Caucus on Hannity
and say who do you like? And you said, Andy
Bagley said that's a guy and he's doing he's doing
And do you believe that? Right? Sure? Andy, yeah, sure, yeah,
I'm gullible, you bet. It's like the mob in the media.
Sean Hannity tells the president what to do, and I'm like, uh,
nobody tells the president what to do. He tells himself

(45:49):
what to do. And the greatest example of that, you guys,
tell me if I'm wrong, would be Um, how many
people have told Donald Trump maybe you should stop tweeting,
and he still tweets. Yeah, So he makes up his
own mind on the with it. The three of us
like it. I love when he does this. It's because
this is how I like what he does. We can't
do this without you, great guys, Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan,

(46:11):
thank you. When we come back. We got your calls
coming up. Eight hundred and ninety four one sewn. You
want to be a part of the program Hi twenty
five to the top of the hour, eight hundred and
nine four one Sean, if you want to be a
part of the program. I mentioned earlier in the week
the latest poll to come out showing dramatic increases in
support among African Americans, Hispanic Americans in particular for President

(46:34):
Trump and his policies. When you look at the list
of accomplishments, even Van Jones, remember there's a white lash
on election night twenty sixteen saying you're not paying attention.
He's helping out historically black colleges and he gave them
a lifeline, and you're missing what he's doing opportunity zones
and yeah, these records that he is setting record low

(46:56):
unemployment levels for every demographic or real and you better
understand that this he is going for every voter, which
is what every president should do, shouldn't they. I mean,
you know that's why looking at Bloomberg, you know, falling
right into the same trap as every liberal Democrat, and

(47:19):
that is identity politics. How about we do what's great
for every American plan That's it. And you know, one
glorious nation under God, we are one family, as the
President says in Israelies. That would be good for everybody,
but we can't even agree on killing Solomoni is a
good thing, or giving a scholarship to a young woman.

(47:42):
And at the State of the Union speech, it just
is unbelievable. But you know that's like Buddha Judge and Warren.
You know, Warren blasting Buddha Judge for taking advantage of
white male privilege by claiming victory in Iowa. Like, well,
I don't think anybody can really claim victory in Iowa

(48:03):
because it was an unmitigated disaster, but it does. It
is a reminder, you know, if Obamacare wasn't a big
enough warning about how government fails and does not fulfill
promises on a spectacular level. If that doesn't, you know,
wake you up, because all of us are paying more

(48:23):
on average, nearly two one hundred and seventy five percent
more on average in our healthcare premiums, and the coverage sucks.
We got less coverage and millions lost their doctors and
millions lost their plans. There is close to forty percent
of Americans in this country now they have one Obama

(48:46):
Care exchange option period, take it or leave it now.
The mandate tax gone thanks to President Trump, it should
have been gone. That's when That's when I had it
the most with the Republicans, after the President gets elected
and all those show votes on healthcare, and then when

(49:07):
it mattered, Oh yeah, we didn't really mean what we
were saying. That was just for show. How could you
not be ready for that moment? How many years ago
that this book Goodman Musgrave, Patient power, health savings accounts.
I mean, they didn't even have they had no plan
they all agreed on. And if Republicans they're gonna run

(49:28):
on a national platform, which I think they should, I
say that every election year some type of contract that
everybody agrees to. They can win the House, they can
win the Senate, and that would end any future Schumer shift,
sham shows and any of these ridiculous conspiracy theories. Now,
the media mob will do it, but they can't help themselves.

(49:49):
They're just gonna do it because they can. But the Democrats,
you take power away from them. This impeachment stuff, which
they would probably would do in perpetuity ends. They're already
talking about it. Now. Well we can still go back
and and peach them over there at fake news CNN.
You know this it's not double jeopardy. You can you
can go back and and peach them again. Like you

(50:12):
gotta be kidding me. It's it's after all of this
and what a spectacular fail. It's it's incredible to me.
At what point do you begin to care more about
solving problems for the country than you care or about
hating Donald Trump? Pretty simple politics here, American people see

(50:35):
through this, they understand it. Here's an interesting idea, Kevin McCarthy.
I loved his tweet the other day. We put it
on TV and he actually rips up, he rips up
the articles of impeachment on Twitter, videos at ripping it up,
and he goes acquitted for life, considering that you know

(50:59):
that now the talking point do you have do we
have a montage on this is now permanent. This is
a stain on his record too. He's impeached for life.
Impeach for life. Remember we had Nancy. You don't have that,
okay anyway, So he did that. Now he also picked
up on an endorsement for his proposal to wipe the
democrats impeachment hoax from the official Congressional record. The Epic

(51:23):
Time says outside the White House earlier today, Trump was
asked about expunging impeachment, to which he replied they should
because it was all a hoax. That's a really good question.
And then he added, should they expunge the impeachment in
the House, They should, as as I just said to you.
And then the idea was floated by Kevin McCarthy earlier
this week after the president's acquittal, saying that he would

(51:46):
move to expunge it. I don't think it should stay
on the books, he stated. Now, one other thing that's
happening Florida Senator Rick Scott, former governor. He's such a
nice you know, I love Rick Scott a lot. Rick
Scott has a roll up your sleeves, get it done
for the people of Florida guy. He's not the most
dynamic guy on the campaign trail, so all his races

(52:09):
of oh, just too close for a guy that does
so much good work for the people of Florida. He
came up with a good idea because I guess maybe
as much as some conservatives would want to, you know,
impetes the next Democratic president, I'm not for that, you know,

(52:29):
because it's not good for the country. But Rick Scott
has a good idea. Scott made the announcement with the
aim of making it more difficult for presidents in the
future to be impete, saying that the United States should
never again have to suffer from this partisan hackery. So
he's proposing an amendment for the Constitution that would require
a supermajority vote of three fifths of the House in

(52:52):
order to approve the articles of impeachment instead of the
current threshold of a simple majority. He said, after this
partisan charade by you know, Petty Pelosi and the House Dems,
I'm introducing an amendment that would raise the threshold to
approve articles of impeachment to a three fifth majority. Which
will happen, I don't know, Probably not, but it could.

(53:17):
Let's see o'ran Paul's getting attacked by John Brennan for
reading the name of the whistle blower. Oh what a
terrible offense, the non whistle blower, hearsay whistle blower. The
thing is, you can't let this go now. Biden's will
be investigated. Biggest loser in this the bidens next biggest

(53:38):
losers Democratic Party in Toto three years, culminating in what vindication? Again?
What have they done for the American people. Nothing. All right,
let's get to our phones here eight hundred and ninety
four one. Sean, if you want to be a part
of the program, Mark is in Detroit, the great city
of Detroit, hopefully raid again. How are you? Mark? What's

(54:02):
going on? My god, Sean, what a patriot you are?
And thank god I'm finally on your show. Just just
an honor. I want to use this moment first, and
I hope President Trump is listening to your show, because
I know he does. Is to let him know, as
a voter and a fellow patriot and a citizen who

(54:25):
I also voted for him, is that for him, that
great warrior, to take a break, relax, hug your family,
and when you look at yourself in the mirror and
you see a speck in your eye, know that every
damn American out there has a speck in his own eye.

(54:46):
And thank God for you, because if it wasn't for him,
none of this corruption would have been brought to light.
And this is this is exactly. And you know, you
know who taught me that, Sean was Russell Limbo. I
listened to he said, I know it sounds crazy, but
this is what it looks like, look, imagine this. If

(55:09):
you're a swamp creature, imagine what a swamp is. I
was in West Monroe, Louisiana, and I was hanging out
with Willie Robertson and and I was hanging out with
his father, and they wanted to They wanted to baptize
me in a swamp in their backyard. And I'd watch
the show before, and I know there are alligators in

(55:31):
the swamp. I said. I said, Um, with all due respect, guys,
I'm not gonna get baptized in a swamp of alligators.
I said, if you find me a pool somewhere or
a bathtub, I'd do it in a second. I accept
Jesus Christ as my Lord and my savior, but not
in a swamp. But when you drain the swamp, then
the ugly, dirty swamp creatures come out. Now here's here's

(55:55):
my message to the Democrats. And I don't mean the
citizens of America. I mean the rotten scoundrel Democrats and
the Liberals who try to take our president down. I've
had to endure for the last dam near four years
of listening to them spout in trying to persuade the

(56:19):
less minded people of their agenda. Well, it's my turn,
and you gave me my turn. I've got the golden
microphone now, and I say to them, you've been put
on notice. It's time for you guys to go to jail.
Because if anybody's going to do it, they have no idea.
Bars in the pipeline and Durham that pitball, it's coming

(56:45):
and if we don't fix it all it's gonna happen again.
It will embolden them to abuse power continually, and that
then we begin to then shred our constant tuition equal justice,
equal application of our laws. We can't have a dual
justice system. That's why all of it, from the Russia

(57:08):
hoax to everything FISA abuse, Hillary's obstruction, Espionage Act, Ukraine
quitted and pro and QUO and Joe and zero Experience Hunter,
it all has to be dealt with. There can be
missing nothing, and they need to be treated the way
we would be treated if it was us, or maybe

(57:30):
treat if we ever treated him a way they treated
General Flynn. Could you imagine that? And I hope that
that all comes to the right conclusion. After all he's
been through. The thanks you get for thirty three years, Well,
I'll tell you what though, it imagine when you know
the president. One thing I'll say about Donald Trump that
I've always known he's the opposite of a politician. Every politician,

(57:54):
it's sort of like they try to hide who they
really are. They're very calculated, they're very measured, They're they
all lacked to some degree to be honest, some authenticity.
Donald Trump, what you see is what you get is
who he is. He's being as real as he can be.
American people saw that. They have now adapted, I argue,

(58:16):
to his style. They know he's never going to be
that establishment, conventional president. He can be very presidential. We
saw that at the State of the Union address. Wow,
didn't you feel good being an American? The list of
accomplishments on top of it. And he's a fighter. Okay, Well,
he's not gonna get a good trade deal with China
unless he fights. He's not gonna get the wall money

(58:38):
unless he fights for it. He's not gonna get the
success of the things that he's won unless you fight
for it. Now, somehow, I guess people expect that that
switch is supposed to go off. It doesn't go off.
He fights, and I want a fighter fighting for the
American people, and if he fights with the media in
the meantime, I don't care. The media need to get

(59:00):
over themselves. I mean, there's you know, this feigned outrage
in the media of the vapors. Oh did you, Joe,
you watch them? I don't even believe they're outraged. They
act like they've never said the word b s. We've
all said the word BS. I grew up in New
York said a lot worse still do. Just not on

(59:22):
air anyway, Mark, thank you, um the swing state of Ohio.
We will be watching Ohio two hundred and seventy days,
Hamilton County, Kayahoga County, and go through the whole state.
How are you, Scott, glad you called. Thanks for taking
my call, Sean. I just wanted to let Jim Jordan
know that how proud we are of people of the

(59:45):
United States and citizens and to represent Ohio. We couldn't
ask for a better man to fight to fight he does,
supporting in our president and supporting the people of our country.
I mean, really, I'm proud that he is my senator.
He represents my state and everything he does. One thing

(01:00:05):
that's kind of heavy on my mind is the voter
fraud situation coming up into this next election. I know
the Democrats are scheming on this. I know that it
happened last time. But what do we do to regulate
these magical votes that's found at the last minute and
then tallied in because we all know where they're coming from,
and what is there or what can be done about

(01:00:29):
this situation with the votes that are found? That kind
of concerns me. Well, I think the whole thing concerns
me and the people that couldn't run that we expect
that they're going to run any other government program, really
take over the entire healthcare system coming up next our
final news round up and Information Overload hour and wanting

(01:00:52):
to Democrats what he was saying to African Americans can
be effective. You know, I mean, I like it. But
he mentioned HBCUs, our black Holgs have been struggling for
a long time. A bunch of them have gone under.
He threw a lifeline to them in real life and
in his budget he talked about that. He talked about
the criminal justice reform, he talked about opportunity zones. I

(01:01:13):
think that we got to wake up, folks. There's the
whole bubble thing that goes on and we say, well
he said s whole nations, therefore all black people gonna
hate him forever. That ain't necessarily so. And I think
what you're going to see him do is say, you
may not like my rhetoric, but look at my results,
look at my record to the black people. If he
narrowcasts that, it's going to be effective, Which means as
we move through this primary process, we've got to pay

(01:01:34):
a lot more attention both to what's going on with
the Latino vote or we're going to get a benefit
in terms of having them respond, and with the black vote.
Is there going to be a split off for especially
for blackmail voters. We got to be clinical about this stuff.
We get so emotional about it. That was a rote
that was a warning to us, a warning shot across
the Balad Democrats that he's going after enough black folks

(01:01:54):
to cause those problems. Is not just the white suburban voters,
He's going to black vote. This was a white lash
against a changing country. It was a white lash against
a black president in part, and that's the part where
the pain comes. All right, News round Up, Information Overload hour.
That was Van Jones the second cut on election nine
twenty sixteen. That was also Van Jones saying, yeah, Donald

(01:02:18):
Trump is spilled out historically black colleges, and yeah, he's
the guy that released Alice Murray Johnson and followed up
with what so many other presidents before him had promised,
real criminal justice reform to get rid of disparate sentencing
and those that have committed one in the case of
Alice Murray Johnson, who was on the show earlier in

(01:02:40):
the week, a friend of the show inspiring figure a
life sentence for one, you know, one crime, one non
miling crime. So he got that done. And opportunity zones
in criminal justice reform. And I think the most important
statistic is just look at every month, month after month,

(01:03:01):
record low unemployment for African Americans, the lowest it has
ever been in the history of this country. And we
keep shattering that record as his presidency moves on. Add
to that, African American youth unemployment the lowest it has
ever been recorded. Now you see the polls are showing
it no longer are these outlier polls. We had what

(01:03:24):
John zogby this week twenty two percent. We've had poles
support in the African American community for Donald Trump at
thirty four and a half percent, thirty four percent, thirty
three percent, twenty eight percent, twenty two percent, twenty The
lowest was sixteen of all the nine or ten recent
polls that have emerged. If he got sixteen percent of

(01:03:45):
African American support in two hundred and seventy days, that
would be double what he had in twenty sixteen. Now,
will these positions that are clearly demon demonstrably impacting and
helping every demographic group in the country, will that translate
into voting opportunities? Anyway? Here to debate discuss, we have

(01:04:09):
Vince Ellison is with us, conservative calumnist, lecturer, author of
the book The Iron Triangle, and the Reverend NUC Charles
Christian Adams is with us. He's a pastor of the
Hartford Memorial Baptist Church. Well, Reverend, I'll start with you.
I mean, when you have record after record low black

(01:04:29):
unemployment in the country, and African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans,
women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African American youth unemployment,
and then you have criminal justice reform, I'd say the
president's do him pretty well and he's fulfilling promises that
Democrats say they will fulfill and never get done. Well.
The problem is is that a lot of the jobs

(01:04:51):
that have been created are not livable wages. And that's no.
I gotta stop you. I gotta stop, reverend. Reverend. You
shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
That is not true. That is not what you just said, sir,
is not true because if you look at the real
gains and wages, it is the bottom fifty percent of

(01:05:14):
wage earners that have done dramatically better than the top
ten percent, and real wage growth is now at the
highest point it has been in two decades. But what
you are not looking at is the poverty index in
certain zip posts in this country. So you can't even
get to talk about the inner city. You have to

(01:05:37):
talk about certain places within the inner city which these
opportunities zones are supposed to help, but yet it has not.
It's just been a lot of rhetoric. It's not been
a lot of talk, but there has not been a
lot of help in areas that are facing high poverty rates.
And I am I believe what you say. If you

(01:05:59):
say top the lower wage journers are making more money. Great,
but death statistics seems furious to me when I see
the poor getting poor and derive. Well, I can go
back in the Obama years, the Biden years, and we
had thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight million
more in poverty, in the lowest labor participation rate since
the seventies. And I'll go to Vince Ellison and those

(01:06:23):
that were disportionately negatively impacted were minorities in America. So
I mean, and look at all, look at every big
liberal city, Vince, that has been run into the ground
by liberal Democrats and again impacting minority communities in unimaginably
bad ways. And they don't even fix the problem. You

(01:06:44):
have thirteen high schools in Baltimore with not a single kid,
not one well is proficient in reading or math. Showing
in my book Behind on Triangle, I talk about that,
and I talk about the the big problem in the
black community. They deflect very well that we just heard
a good weather and dude, the problem that is most

(01:07:05):
black preachers, the most black civical organizers, and most black politicians,
they're the Iron Triangle. When you go down into the
black community, and they'll tell us that they're white Republicans
or white conservice are the problem. But when you go
down into the black community, you don't see any white
Republicans or white consergiants. You'll see a leprecron before you
see one, but they will tell you that they're the problem. Now,
you can't turn around without running into a black Black Democrat.

(01:07:28):
They're everywhere. And if you want to talk about and
so if you look at their fruits that our Bible
tells us about the fruits, you will know them. You
cannot get bad fruit from a good tree. You cannot
get from good fruit from a bad tree. So if
we look at the fruits, as we look at what's
going on in the city of destroying, and you got
the third highest moderate, you got valid crime rate, second

(01:07:48):
highs in the nation, a population that failed from one million,
eight hundred and sixty thousand to six hundred and eighty
thousand and two thifteens file for bank rusting too thirteen.
You know, we we've heard this, this division, this hate,
this unforgiveness, is envy, this victimization, and this pride coming
from the black community and black leaders for years, and
most of it comes from the poor of black churches.

(01:08:12):
There's two svictimizations, and they are not held accountable and
they take no accountability. So anything that happens down there,
yet they called themselves out leaders but when it comes down,
when it comes to holding them accountable. So what's going
on in the black community, they always point outside of
it and say it's somebody else. That's not leadership, that's cowardice. Well,

(01:08:32):
let's ask a simple question that our African hang on.
Hang on. Our African Americans demonstrably better with the policies
of Donald J. Trump as president or Barack Obama as
president and Joel Biden quit pro quote Joe as Vice president,
began to see we began to see economic growth towards

(01:08:55):
the end of the Obama administration. It continue to grow.
Some have even argued that growth has slow has slowed down,
which is probably did not answered my question. Can you
demonstrably show me groth why didn't why didn't Barack Obama do?

(01:09:16):
Why didn't why didn't Barack Obama's administration help out historically
black colleges. Why didn't Barack Obama's administration release Alice Murray Johnson,
adopt criminal justice reform, dealing with the spirits sentencing it
and create opportunity zones. And why didn't Barack Obama in
eight years uh shatter record after record of of low

(01:09:37):
unemployment in the African American community. Why didn't he do that?
I don't know the exact statistics now, but well I do.
I just gave them to you. No name a good
number of people, and we still have to look at
access to capital. And that's what you guys are not.
I mean, I find this unbelievable to me ans who

(01:10:00):
wrote this book? Just on the other line, what is
he doing? Now? I can tell you what my church
is doing. We have developed a home depot, a Kentucky
fire Chick, and a long you're asking this question, but Burgers,
we have built a sixteen million dollars senior department building.
We actually have Ben Carson come in and cut the
ribbon because there were some HUT funds used in this.

(01:10:23):
It's not even a four. People have to trust Detroit
was the richest city in the world and y'all destroying it.
You have crime, you have drugs, you have prostitution, the
worst schools in the world, and feel proud of it,
just sitting here ragging about destroying a city and destroying

(01:10:44):
a people this is the problem. You do not understand
that you are corrupt and that you are a postate
et education cannot give it. And this ignorant man on
the other line, who was just talking to be heard,
he's offering nothing. You are a card work my friend,
not me. It's not my church. Stop there, all right,

(01:11:07):
you you have now attacked Vince. Vince response, Yes, he's
a cow one. I look at your city, I look
at how you destroyed it. I look at the crime,
the drugs, and I look that every time Donald Sup
tried to come in and get children out of failing school,
you stop it. When you try to do well for reform,
you stop it. When he tries to put the police
in to protect the children of the people or give
them Second Amendment, right, you stop it. We tried to

(01:11:30):
keep the illegals out to the people that have jobs
and so that they can keep the drugs out. You
stop it. It's you, It's not him, and me tell
me some real criminal justice, father that you are offering.
You know, your law and order rhetoric is not kind
of problem you face and run you out. And when

(01:11:50):
when you balance the scale in education and when you
pro fine equal opportunity and access to capital. You're going
to see some of those social problems. Have you done
in school at your church? And what has happened? Have
you heard say when you came man that we had
nothing to lose? Have you got how has urban church

(01:12:15):
any fruit? Or you're too busy riding in your Catalan?
Have you built the school at your church? Yet we
have school, We have several We have several programs that
introduce educational opportunity to people within our community. Loomis Donald Trump,
and they will tell you from ending the school choice

(01:12:36):
to pour glad children to get out of those bad
schools in Detroit because you support the NAACP and the
teachers unions. Do you support the NAACP and unrestricted abortion
even though it is against the discipline of your church.
You support the NAACP and the LGBTQ even though it's
against the discipline of your church. You support unrestricted abortion

(01:12:57):
rights and you're a minister of the gospel and even
though against the discipline of your church, and right, I
gotta take a break, take a break, will come back
more with Vince Ellison, Reverend Charles Christian Adams. Your calls
on the other side and the best audio of the week,
and what a week it'd spend. Right as we wrap
things up, Vince Ellison, author of The Iron Triangle, lecturer

(01:13:20):
author columnists. Reverend Charles Christian Adams, presiding pastor of Hartford
Memorial Baptist Church. You know, Vince, I've known Reverend Adams
here for a long time, and it seems like there's
nothing that conservatives can ever do that help minority communities
that he's going to be impressed with, because, you know,
record after record seems impressive to me. Love Democratic Party

(01:13:44):
infiltrated and control the Black church m and they've had
it ever since. And a lot of these people, these
these pastors, I don't know about mister Christian Adams here,
I don't know, but I know the ones. To add know,
a lot of them are paid to take black people
to the polls. They are concerned the one thing, the
black vote, period point blank. And as long as they
can't keep black people ignorant, uneducated, and poor, they can

(01:14:08):
control them. It is about control. They refuse any help.
They have not a pivoted or changed directions in fifty years,
full speed ahead, in failure, full fullspee. They had in poverty.
But when it comes down to heaving out the masters,
they do not have a plan. We have school choice,
we have giving people a right to defend themselves. We

(01:14:30):
have enterprise zones and entreneurship. This is what this is
what we're talking about doing. All they talk about doing
is welfare giveaways, handouts, victimization, envy, trying to get some
reparations and allow the drugs. The crime, the anger, and
envy to continues and it's killing us. Our people are dying.

(01:14:52):
My book talks about how their main goes to make
sure the black and white Christians they separated, how we
cannot double come together and change this nation for the
goodness of God in Jesus Christ. They fight against that
every chance they get. And if you want to hear
some hate, do you remember g the America. If you
want to hear some hate, go to the black pulpits
of America on a Sunday morning and see what these
people were saying. All right, let's give the Reverend Adams

(01:15:14):
the last word. Yeah, I don't agree with your book,
and I respectfully do not agree with your book. We
do not appreciape. We have challenged the status quo, but
now that the administration has been in place. The burden
of proof is on change. So if you say that

(01:15:35):
these things are going to bear fruit, then they need
to bear fruit, my friends. And having gun access and
quote unquote having people being able to defend themselves is
not helping urban America because got to let it look
go here. Thank you both for being with us when
we come back. Our best audio of the week. What

(01:15:57):
a week it's been, and your calls eight hundred nine
for one sewn you want to be a part of
the program at twenty five now to the top of
the hour, will hit the phones the eight hundred and
nine four one sean you want to be a part
of the program. I mean, what a week this has been.
We had the State of the Union, we you know,
we had the acquittal of the president. We had the
Iowa Caucus debacle. This is the best autio of the week.

(01:16:18):
The guy in the White House is chuckling all night
here showing the Democrats can't even get a three car
funeral organized, or whatever you want to call it. I
would say to the people of Iowa, well, the last
person leaving des Moines please turn out the lights. This
has not been a success. And if the party gets
into into a civil war situation sometime this spring going

(01:16:39):
into the summer. We had a real disaster because if
Trump isn't challenged, that's an historic loss for the country
if he's not facing a serious challenger, and I wonder
about that happening. We have real concerns about the integrity
of the process, and I think there were some significant
failures in the process last night that should give voters concern.
You know, you obviously had the APP failure. Missus Hutchinson,
also want to thank you about bringing up the poverty

(01:17:02):
draft and this idea of a bootstrap. You know, this
idea and this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as
a joke because it's a physical impossibility to lift yourself
up by a bootstrap by your shoelaces. It's physically impossible.
The whole thing is a joke. Quickly, I hope that
the I word Democrats will ask for an FBI investigation

(01:17:24):
on the APP. I believe that Russia has been engaged
in and interfering with a number of elections. Dealing with
the twenty one election, I say, I'm sorry the twenty
sixteen election. On this article of impeachment. Forty eight senators
have pronounced Donald John Trump, President of the United States,
guilty as charged. Fifty two senators have pronounced him not

(01:17:46):
guilty as charged, two thirds of the senators president not
having pronounced him guilty. The Senator judges that the respondent,
Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not
guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment. On
this article of impeachment, forty seven senators have pronounced Donald
John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged.

(01:18:08):
Fifty three senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged.
Two thirds of the senators present not having pronounced him guilty.
The Senate a judges that respondent Donald John Trump, President
of the United States, is not guilty as charged. In
the second article of impeachment. We are now the Senator
has spoken in terms of any punishment to the President.

(01:18:31):
He's impeached forever. No matter what he says or whatever
headlines he wants to carry around, You're impeached forever. You're
never getting rid of that scar. History will always record
that you were impeached for undermining the security of our country,
jeopardizing the integrity of our elections, and violating the Constitution

(01:18:51):
of the United States, acquitted for life. I am thrilled
to report to you tonight that our economy is the
best it has ever been. Our military is completely rebuilt,
with its power being unmatched anywhere in the world, and
it's not even close. Our borders are secure, our families

(01:19:12):
are flourishing, our values are renewed, our pride is restored.
And for all of these reasons, I say to the
people of our great country and to the members of Congress,
the state of our Union is stronger than ever before.

(01:19:34):
In the gallery tonight, we have a young gentleman and
what he wants so badly Thirteen years old Ian lawn Fee.
He's an eighth grader from Arizona. I please stand up.
Ian has always dreamed of going to space. He was
the first of his class and among the youngest at

(01:19:56):
an aviation academy. He aspires to go to the Air
Force Academy, and then he has his eye on the
Space Force. As Ian says, most people look up at space.
I want to look down on the world. But sitting
behind Ian tonight is as great as tiro of them all.

(01:20:20):
Charles McGee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, one century ago.
Charles is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, the
first black fighter pilots, and he also happens to be
Ian's great grandfather. Credible story. After more than one hundred

(01:20:46):
and thirty combat missions in World War Two, he came
back home to a country still struggling for civil rights
and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam.
On December seventh, Charles celebrated his one hundredth birthday. A

(01:21:09):
few weeks ago assigned a bill promoting Charles McGee to
Brigadier general, and earlier today I pinned the stars on
his shoulders in the Oval Office, General McGhee, Our nation
salutes you, Thank you, sir. Here tonight is a special

(01:21:30):
man beloved by millions of Americans, who just received a
Stage four advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news,
but what is good news is that he is the
greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet. Rush Limbaugh,
thank you for your decades of powerless devotion to our

(01:21:53):
pank you and Rush, in recognition of all that you
have done for our nation, the millions of people a
day that you speak to and that you inspire, and

(01:22:15):
all of the incredible work that you have done for charity.
I am proud to announce tonight that you will be
receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

(01:22:35):
I will now ask the First Lady of the United
States to present you with the honor. Please. And this
is really not a news conference. It's not a speech,
it's not anything. It's just worse sort of as a

(01:22:58):
celebration because we have something that just worked out. I mean,
it worked out. We went through hell unfairly, did nothing wrong.
It did nothing wrong. I've done things wrong in my life,
I will admit, not purposely, but I've done things wrong.
But this is what the end result is. We could

(01:23:26):
take that home money. Maybe we'll frame it. It's the
only good headline I've ever had in the Washington came
hot time. But every paper is the same. Does anybody
have those papers? Does anybody have them? Because they're really
like that. So I appreciate it. I just want to
thank my family for sticking through it. This was not
part of the deal. I was going to run for president,

(01:23:48):
and if I wont, I was going to do a
great job. I didn't know that I was going to run,
and then when I got in, I was going to
have to run again and again and again every week,
got to run again. That wasn't the deal. But they
stuck with me, and I'm so glad I did it,
because we are making progress and doing things for our
great people that everybody said couldn't be done. Our country

(01:24:13):
is thriving, our country is just respected again. I've always
said they're a lousy politicians, but they do two things.
They are vicious and mean vicious. These people are vicious.
Adam Schiff is a vicious, horrible person. Nancy Pelosi is
a horrible person, and she wanted to impeach a long

(01:24:34):
time ago when she said, I pray for the president.
I pray for the presidy. She may pray, but she
prays for the opposite, but I doubt she prays it all.
All right, let's get to our phones. What a week
this has been, as we let's see, let's go to
Robert Is in the yes liberal state of California, where
they pay thirteen and a half percent state income tax,

(01:24:56):
where it's a sanctuary state, and we know the disaster
that we discussed yesterday, and of course we have big
liberal cities that are in decline at a rate that
is unimaginable, like San Francisco in La How are you,
Robert glad you called? Well. Good afternoon, mister Hannity. How

(01:25:17):
are you today, sir? I'm good, sir. How are you?
I'm doing spectacular. I was just asking your opinion on
what Nancy was trying to accomplish by ripping up the documents.
It just seemed so childish and so petty. If the
children on my bus behave that way. I drive Kenny

(01:25:38):
Garden through high school on one bus, and if my
kids on my bus behave that way, they wouldn't be
on my bus anymore. It's you know, it is who
they are. I mean, the funniest thing is and I
didn't pick it up. I'm kind of mad at myself
that I missed it. I know, as I was watching
the State of the Union, she was so distracting at

(01:25:59):
one point, and friends of mine are texting me, you
seeing this? What the hell is? She's mumbling to herself,
She's looking all over the place. But I missed that.
She was putting tears for the preordained show after the
State of the Union where she was going to rip
up the speech, so she didn't want to rips to
not work, so she was pre ripping them. Um, it's

(01:26:20):
you know, Petty Pelosi. I mean, there's I just will
tell you it is who they are. And this is
why you know, they're already talking about another impeachment and
another impeach, impeachment, you know, and he's impeached for life.
We got him, Well maybe not according to some Republicans,
but we'll see. But the antidote to this, if we
want to put an end to the conspiracy theories and

(01:26:43):
the lies and the hoaxes and the and the smears
and the slander, there's only one way to do it,
and that is in two hundred and seventy days, you're
the ultimate jury. You go into the voting booth and
if you're going to support President Trump, I hope you'll
support whatever congressman or woman is in your district that
is in his party, and any Senator that is in

(01:27:06):
his party. That's how we beat them. There's no other way.
Otherwise it's going to be four more years of endless, NonStop,
you know, rage and hatred. Now, we can't do anything
about the mob and the media. What we actually can
you can turn them off which you pretty much do.
I mean, I see the ratings every day. The American's
done a good job of tuning out these these liberal

(01:27:29):
radical channels that pedal lies in conspiracy theories. Are not
watching them anymore and and live off a diet of
fake news every day. People are not consuming their product anymore. Um,
it's it's fascinating for me to watch it every day.
Makes you know, it's it's good for my business because
we tell the truth. I'm in the truth telling business. Um. Anyway,

(01:27:52):
Robert H. Good call. And you know what you're You're
a bus driver, you said, righty, What a great thing,
What a great responsibility do you have every day for
those little kids they get on your bus? And that
is what you are just one example of what makes
America great. You're keeping kids safe every day. Well, thank you, sir,

(01:28:13):
thank you for what you do. Eight hundred ninety four one. Sean,
you want to be a part of the program. All right,
as we let's see head to Craig and Florida. We'll
be watching Florida closely. Yep. Especially let's see Palm Beach County,
Broward County, the Panhandle, southwest Florida. Call your lee County.
How are you, Craig, Glad you called. I'm doing okay, Sean.

(01:28:37):
Want to start by saying, thank you for everything that
you do getting everything out there to the people. Well,
thank you for helping me do it. I the main
reason I called in was over the last week I
listened to you as much as I can. It's a
little tough to her in the day watch at night,
but over the last week I heard you spoke I
believe her name was missus Johnson and speaking yeah, Alicemurich, Yes, yes,

(01:29:02):
about unfairness in our legal system. And then the next
day you were speaking about Obamacare. And years ago when
Obamacare kicked in my family, we lost our insurance. It
did nothing for us but put us in a lot
of trouble. The company I worked for at the time
when it came in could no longer afford to offer

(01:29:23):
its employees insurance. My wife had been suffering with blood
pressure problems and migrain headaches that she had been treated
very successfully for until that point. After that, we were
unable to afford insurance and she had to go on
Medicare or Medicaid, and the doctors that Medicaid afforded were

(01:29:45):
they in my opinion, they were just pill pushers, get
people in and out as quick as possible. And over
the course of the next year or so, they had
given her so many pills she became addicted to prescription opiates. Yea.
And by this is such a common story. This is
such a common story. This is a very very common

(01:30:06):
thing that happens. It is tragic. They actually had down
in Florida what they call the pill mills, you know
those places that they pam BONDI began to close them
all down where you'd walk in. Oh, my back hurts. Okay,
what do you like oxyconton? Okay, go next door, here's
your prescription. And then the next thing, you know, people
are addicted and being addicted opioids. Is it's now like

(01:30:28):
a death sentence. Many prayers of you know, to you
and your family. I know it's tough, all right. Loaded
up Hannity, nine eastern tonight, full coverage. What a week,
State of the Union, Acquittal Forever, and of course the
debacle which is the Democratic Party and a primary and
a complete and utter meltdown in chaos. Nine eastern on

(01:30:49):
