be entire.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
And if you want a little banging your yin't come along.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
One thing we haven't agreed to is a cease fire.
A cease fire with Kamas means surrendered to comas, surrender
to term. There won't be a cease fire without the
release of the Israeli hostages.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And then do we go back to bombing.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
No, four hours.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We don't want four hours. We don't want sixteen hours,
we don't want twenty two. We want a cease fire now.
So the situation at the border you're saying is not
a disaster, That is correct.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Afraidom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Coming.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
To your sentience, going away, I gets hoars and saying.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You a saw.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Sean Hennity show more, I'm the scenes.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
All right, News round Up, Information overload, hour toll free.
Our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, your
calls right at the bottom of the hour straight ahead,
you know, is there are great writers out there that
just have brilliant minds, which is why they usually become
number one best selling authors. And I think that our
(01:37):
friend Greg Jared has just written as next number one
best seller. And he's got a new book called The
Constitution of the United States and Other Patriotic Documents, That's
what it's called.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And what is interesting in what makes us so timely?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He points out in this book how the Constitution and
all these patriotic documents you rediscover what made America this
beacon of hope for liberty and prosperity all around the world.
Since our founding, our country has been blessed with extraordinary
leaders who have have stealed our resolve for independence. But
(02:14):
yet we can't forget the admonition of Ronald Reagan?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Can we?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
That freedom is but one generation away from extinction? And
these these brilliant founders, these brilliant framers of our Constitution,
they invented a new form of government by the people
of the people, for the people, you know, each with
a different skill and talents. But in freedom, every American
has In this case, every person has the opportunity to
(02:40):
find their God given talents, bring them to fruition, pursue.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Their dreams anyway. So it's a it's a kind of
a collector's editions.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
The writings, the speeches, the letters of our founders and
our framers and their successors carefully selected, and Greg explains
it in great detail throughout the book. He joins us now,
by the way, and get it on Amazon dot com,
Hannity dot com and as of today and bookstores around
the country.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
How are you, sir, I'm well, and thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I thought that you, as a great American patriot, more
than most would truly understand and appreciate this book because
it is a tribute to the many patriots who made
America great. And you can read their most important documents, speeches, letters,
many of which change the course of history. Sean, They're
(03:31):
inspiring words, they're galvanizing ideas. All of them shaped America.
Are virtues, aspirations and our ideals.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know, you go back and not only just the
framers of the Constitution, the founders of this country. I mean,
I wonder if America, and especially in our educational system,
we've gotten so far away. How many kids have I
walked into a classroom today high school kids would know
(04:01):
the famous saying of Patrick Henry give me liberty or
give me death, or what that meant at the time,
or what would they know about the great pamphleteer Thomas Paine,
best known I think for common sense. You know, that
explains in detail that government in its best state is
a necessary evil, in its worst state, and intolerable one.
(04:21):
And then he talks about the formation of government, and
he says, for the guides and dictates of one's human
conscience irresistibly be obeyed, there'd be no need for any government,
any lawmaker ever, that not being the case because of
human frailty and we're fallen beings.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He talks about that. How many would know that?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Ben Franklin expressed, you know, misgivings at times about the
Constitution or the pause to prayer during the Constitutional Convention.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
How many people know these things?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well, sadly not many. And in fact, just last night
on Fox News we had a segment which it was
a man on the street interview of various individuals, most
of them young people, and fundamental questions were asked, you know,
about the creation of the constitution. Peop will ask what
(05:16):
was the Revolutionary War, about who won the Civil War,
same question the Cold War. Some young person said, oh,
it was chilly. You know, they all flunked with one
or two exceptions. And that is so symptomatic of our
(05:38):
education system today, which and I know this personally having
watched it unfold in my daughter's public schools. They just
don't teach fundamental American government, American history, the civics that
you and I learned have been long ago abandoned, and
(05:58):
I blame And there's a column on this today on
foxnews dot com that the Teachers Association, Randy Weingarten, it's
leader or to blame for, you know, the many parents
who decided to homeschool their kids because schools have failed children.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, how many might know that Alexander Hamilton and
James Madison, you know, put out a brilliant series of
essays that you referred to as the Federalist Papers, and
and how that became a blueprint for our own constitution.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah, I mean it was the most brilliant explanation with
the meaning of our constitution. And yet young people today
you ask them about the Federalist Papers, and you know,
they think, you know, you wrap your marijuana joints with
those papers. I mean, they have no idea what it is.
(07:00):
They've never read them. And what I tried to do
in this book was simplify and explain in putting context
the importance of these documents and the clarion warnings of
people like John Adams who said that unscrupulous men in power,
if left unchecked, would become ravenous beasts of prey, destroying
(07:25):
our government. Well, he's talking about today's FBI and the
Department of Justice and the intelligence agencies, isn't He? And
George Washington openly worried that the creation of political parties
in America would undermine freedom and become engines of unprincipled men.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
He was right.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
He counseled against them. Nobody listened. But you know, I
go beyond all of that, bold transcendent figures like Frederick Douglas,
Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
We'll stop there with Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln for
a minute, because you know, I don't think most people
remember the story of Frederick Douglas. You know, a former
slave escaped. You know, a confidant of Lincoln talked about
we the people. Doesn't mean we the white people. I
(08:21):
mean at the time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, you think of the great courage, you think
of the great alliance that they had together.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, previous presidents never welcomed anyone of color into the
White House. Abraham Lincoln changed all of that. And at
one point in time, when Douglas appeared at the White
House in a room full of people, Lincoln turned and
said to the entire room, the entire audience, here is
(08:50):
the man whose judgment I trust more than anyone else.
And he, of course was referring to Frederick Douglas. It
was oneiful relationship that they had together. And I repeat
in the book and explain two of Douglas's most powerful addresses.
(09:13):
His lament on the hypocrisy of American slavery, as you
point out, and he deplored the cruelty and deprivation of bondage.
Four million of our fellow countrymen, he said, are in change,
sold on the auction block with horses, sheep, and swine.
(09:35):
He was a pivotal figure that changed the course of
American history. It took time, of course, and a lot
of bloodshed, but it eventually happened.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You know what, The beauty and I think this is
lost in the educational system. The beauty and the majesty
of our framers and founders. They were not perfect men.
They knew that they did not have the perfect form
of government. They understood that. But in their wisdom what
they did do because, for example, on the issue of slavery,
they knew if they dealt with it at the time,
(10:07):
that they wouldn't have had a country, The United States
would not have formed, our Constitution would not have been
adopted and ratified.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But they knew this.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The system they designed was specifically designed so that you
could in the future correct wrongs right injustices. And history
has proved them correct, has it not.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, it absolutely has. We continue to strive for a
more perfect union, but it's unachievable. Why because people are imperfect.
They're possessed of the same human frailties that afflict us
all and so were our founders. It was a shameful
(10:51):
Faustian bargain, as you point out, not to address slavery
as it should have been, and they did it to
obtain a bargain of passage of the Constitution by resistant
Southern states controlled by Democrats who were in favor of
slavery and virulently against all the abolitionists in the Union
(11:15):
the North, and of course we fought a great civil
war over it. But so there are heroes and villains
both in American history, and I try to be fair
about it. What I you know, this book doesn't promote
an agenda. It contains essential conservative documents as well as
(11:38):
liberal ones, from as you say, Booker T. Washington's Wonderful
Words to Reagan's Berlin's speech tear down this Wall, and
the wall came crumbling down, as did the Soviet Empire.
So this book is really philosophically patriotic, and anybody who
(11:59):
cares about this country and loves our freedoms, it seems
to me, should bread it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Got to take a quick break more with Greg jarrett
Is brand new book is out. The Constitution of the
United States and other patriotic documents collected and explained by
Greg himself. Anyway, Kennedy dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores
all around the country. Quick break more with Greg on
the other side than your calls eight hundred and ninety
four one Sean. As we continue, I we continue with
(12:26):
Greg Jared his latest bestseller just released today, The Constitution
of the United States and other patriotic documents collected and
explained by Greg himself. And Greg continues with us. What
I really like about the book, and this is where
your genius kicks in and your passion for our Constitution
kicks in and these other patriotic documents, is not only
(12:48):
is it a collection of them, but it's also the
explanation of them. And that is, you know, your passion
for history, your passion for the law, your passion for
you know context, and how do these issues relate to
where we are today? For example, November thirtieth, I've got
a debate that I'll be moderating between Rondo Santis and
(13:09):
Aaven Newsom, who are the biggest governors in the country.
You know it's going to be red versus blue and
state versus state. And I can't think of two different
approaches to governance than Governor Newsom and Governor DeSantis?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Can you?
Speaker 8 (13:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I can't. And what's wonderful about what it is you're
doing in I'd love to have a front row seat
to witness.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
By the way you, you and everybody else. You know
how many people want one?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I know I know I'll sit in my living room
with a bag of popcorn and watch it and cheer
you want, because I know you will do an exemplary job.
But this is our constitutional republic at its best. It
embodies free speech, the deliverance of different ideas and arguments
(13:59):
and principles. And you know, there'll be a start contrast
between these two men, DeSantis and California's governor, you know,
who I think has a lot of explaining to do,
but so does DeSantis, and it's going to be a
fascinating confrontation.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What do you think DeSantis's explanations need to be on
one of the ones you look for?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You know, I would like for him to explain his,
you know, various positions on the front runner, Donald Trump.
How does he contrast with Trump? Where does he disagree?
And you know, I'm sure you will ask him that.
(14:42):
But you know, Americans care most about the economy, what's
in their wallet, what they're paying for at the grocery
store and the gas station. And I'd like to hear
from both men how they're going to solve that problem.
And it's not just the removal of Joe Biden, you know,
(15:02):
in Bidenomics that has ruined our economy, and left Americans
in economic despair. But you know it's the border is
handling a foreign policy, the debacle and embarrassment and humiliation
in Afghanistan. He is waffling on Israel and the war
(15:22):
against Tamos terrorists. So I want to hear what both
men have to say about Trump and Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Well, the book is phenomenal and it's out today in
bookstores all around the country. It's called the Constitution of
the United States and other Patriotic Documents and collected and
explained keyword by Greg Jared himself number one New York
Times bestselling author. This might be your best work, and
you did great work with the Russia hoax. So I
(15:52):
don't know that is going to be interesting to see,
but I think people are going to enjoy it, learn
from it, hopefully even share it with their friends and
their family and their neighbors, and certainly their kids could
probably use it as well.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Greg, thanks for being with.
Speaker 4 (16:04):

their country, and thank you for your kind words about it.

I don't know if you remember me. I'm the girl
that talked to you twenty years ago about how you
made you know how you my god, my A'm getting nervous,
sorry about baby.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
By the way, you don't sound nervous. You sound great.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I don't remember that we talked twenty years ago. I
wish I could lie and say, oh, yeah, of course
I remember that call. But okay, there's a lot going
on between these years, believe it or not. Liberals don't
believe it, but some do. So you call me twenty
years ago, what do we talk about.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
We just talked about how I was going to a
liberal high school, and then you wanted me to call
you and follow up with you years later and tell
me tell you how I turned out. Well, I talked
to you last Mother's Day and you sent me your book,
which was amazing, by the way, And I don't know
if I got a chance to tell you just how
influential you've been to me in the last you know,
(20:20):
since I was thirteen and started listening to you, watching
you on Hannity and Combs. My uncle Irah gotten me
into listening to you. And I just don't know if
I ever thanked you and said I really wish some
day I could just shake your hand and look you
and I tell you, you know, you've taught me so
much about life, so much about politics and just the
way that things are. And at thirty six, now, I
(20:40):
just want you to know thank you from the bottom
of my heart for teaching me what you did. You
don't even know how much of an influence you had
on me. And now how I'm teaching my children what
I've learned from you and all your other buddies. And
I just I don't know. I just thought you should
hear thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I'll be honest, I'm very very touch fun to run
since he went on the air, and I guess maybe
I'm maybe that's just a sign I'm just getting older.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
We're in Tennessee, are you, by the way, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
In Murphreesboro, so just about twenty minutes south of Nashville.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well, what we have the Patriot Awards. What if I
could get you I assume you're married. What if I
got you and your husband tickets for the Patriot Awards.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Well, that would be incredible and I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Right, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

off to make sure that I can get you in

work with Tiff and we'll try and make this happen
for you, and I hope I may not be able
to see you. I know I'm doing I know I'm
doing my show live on Thursday night. We're we're I
(21:49):
think it's at the I'm not even sure where it is.
Shouldn't I know this point now, Linda. By the way, Linda,
like I got a message every morning, this is your
schedule for today. Schedule for by the way, true enough,
true of false.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It's very true.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
And then you tell me I never sent it, and
then Ie greenshot the scent.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
It's super fun that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of the way by
my life roles. Stay on hold. I'm gonna do everything
I can. If not, I'm going to send you like
a huge bag of box swag and panity football and
stuff like that. But I'm really going to try and
get you to the Patriot Awards. It's a very touching event,
and I don't really have a big part to play
in it. I just like to go and you know,
(22:31):
say hi to everybody and have a good time and
do my shows from there.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Well.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
I don't know if you go downtown in Nashville very often,
but my husband is a retired police officer who works
at kid Rocks in Nashville and.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Tsy, by the way, Kid Rock's going to be there,
Oh is he?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's funny. My d knows him because he works at
his bar off Duody, But it's in any of those bars.
My husband's sure he would die to meet you because
he feels the same way as I do about it.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I listen, I love music row, I love all you know.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
My buddy John Riches down there, kid Rocks down there,
they got a lot of lot of music stars have
opened up these incredible, fun honky tonks and music places,
and they're awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I don't I feel way more safe walking through Nashville
than I do in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But I live such a quiet life. People would be
shocked at what a loser I am, Linda, Is that
a fair statement.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't know that I would call you a loser? Okay,
do I go out a lot?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
I would say that you go out in the circles
that you're comfortable with with the people that you know.
You're not somebody that goes out out not a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Now, when I do go out, I always enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Now, we did go to the Redneck Riviera in Vegas,
and Linda freaked me out because she was actually dancing
in John Rich's bar alone, which was I'm.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Like, what, he totally alone me and I'm like three
hundred other people on the dance floor, but I was
totally alone.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You were totally alone. Everybody else had a dance partner
but you, and you're just dancing away, you know, like you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
People can't keep up with these moves.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
That's not my problem, you know That's all right.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Bethany, stay on the line.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
We're going to try and hook you up with the
tickets and I look forward to hopefully maybe meeting you
and your husband.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That would be awesome.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. God
bless you and your family. Thank you for taking my
call and for entertaining my weirdness. You're one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh no, no, listen.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Let me tell you something. If you did not keep
listening to me, I would not be able to do
this every day. You're giving me a gift by listening.
So this is the least I could do. You've touched
my heart today. It means the world to me. I
do want to serve and do good in my life,
and and if I've had any positive impact on anybody's life,
I'm grateful.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I know I'm just a spoken the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But if we're all spokes and we're pulling in the
same direction, hopefully we can get our country back on track.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All right, bethany one more thing?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
My husband told me people, it's so important for people
to know how much they've you've how much they've touched you,
even though most people don't know, they're like hearing those things.
And I always told them, my God, tell Shan one
of these days. I gotta tell him, you know, like
he has no idea how much him and his journey
and everything that you've done and everything you've poured into
the public has meant to me personally. And I know
(25:11):
I'm just a random woman. In tennis You know who
am I. I'm just a random mom in Tennessee.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
But but you know what you are.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But you know what what makes this country great? Think,
let's think about this. Do the politicians in Washington make
the country great?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
You know what makes the country great people like you
and your husband, and and the truckers and the first responders,
and the firemen and policemen, and the lawyers and the
doctors that heal us and the hospital emergency room workers
and the ambulance drivers and workers. You know, the ones
that get up every day, they work their tails off,
(25:45):
They put in there fourteen sixteen hours a day. They
raise their kids, they pay their taxes, they obey the laws,
They go to church on Sunday and just try to,
you know, achieve the American dream. They're the ones that
make this country great. It's not the people that are famous.
It's not the people you know whose names you hear
every day. And that's one of the things I love
(26:06):
about the Patriot Awards is we honor people that normally
don't get the recognition that they deserve. And so, from
my point of view, you're the true American hero, and
as is everybody that listens to this program and lives
the same life we're all living, grinding it out every day. Anyway,
(26:27):
stand the line, Bethany, appreciate your kind words. Aaron is
in Louisiana. Hey, Aaron, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Sir? Good? How are you doing today, sir?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm good man. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Man? I was just.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
Listen to your show every day and people are about
inflation and different things. But the kind of root calls
I'm owner of a trucking company, and kind of what
we're battling now and a lot of people don't talk
about is the new laws that were passed back in
February of twenty twenty two. How now when people want
to go get their trucker endorsements, they have to pay
(27:04):
for a class that's anywhere from twenty five hundred dollars
to eight thousand dollars, and it's kind of crippling the
trucking industry.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, you've been living through the worst trucking recession. I
happen to know more about trucking than you'd think, because
I have friends in the trucking business. The rates have
been awful, the price of diesel has been rising, and
you guys are not making It's been the longest trucking
recession on record.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
How many?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Look at how many truckers trucking companies have gone under
in just the last year. I have been paying attention
to it because I know people in the business, and
I bet you know you're you're probably barely hanging on.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
If I'm not mistaken, that's correct.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
And I mean if you look at two years ago
when when Trumck is in office, now in Boby's office,
they have the truck price, So the trucks have gone
anywhere from one hundred and forty to one hundred and
eighty to now over three hundred and a half a
million dollars, and it's like, when's enough going to be enough?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
By the way, I know a guy buddy of mine.
I talked to him yesterday. He's actually gonna lease out
three of his trucks from his fleet. You interested, And
my answer, it depends, It depends on It depends on
what the least terms are, right exactly, hang on and
we'll get your number. I'll put you in touch with them.
Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't, but at least
(28:22):
they tried.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
All right, yeah, But my biggest thing is that we
need more politicians with the backbone to stand up and
do something about this new law that wouldn't effect because
if you notice that the people that are on the
road that are driving now, they're not experienced even coming
out of the class. There needs to be some type
of refel reform. Politicians staying in say enough enough because
it's secting us at the stores with eggs and everything.
(28:45):
Everybody wants to talk about decent stuff, but it's kind
of a twofold. Yes, Decel price is going up, but
when you're having to pay for people to come drive
these vehicles, it costs even more. And that's one of
the ways of helping the flatten the curves.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Listen, I just told this recession and trucking ends.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't think people truly appreciate the fact that everything
you buy and everything you in every store you go
to is only on that show because of guys like you.
All right, let me see if you can work out
to deal with my buddy. We'll hook you up. Linda
will put you in contact. Okay, stay right there, let's
go to Joel in Iowa. Joel, how are you glad
(29:24):
you called good.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
How are you, Sean, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I just hope that the House of House of Representatives
is thinking about the timing of the articles of impeachment
against Biden with his business dealings. I think there's a
good chance that the Democrats could possibly join the Republicans
and vote with them to impeach him to replace him
(29:51):
on the twenty four ballot. And what's your feelings on that, Well.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I think I think the odds are higher than they've
ever been. I mean, Joe is in a significant decline,
and I think that there's definite movement in the direction.
I mean, David Axelrod is a very powerful voice within
democratic circles. I mean he was Obama's you know, lead guy,
and for him to basically say get your act together
(30:18):
or get out is you know, pretty harsh terms. But
he's not the only one saying it. And he even
said every Democrat he talks to is saying it to him.
So you know, you got to look at it as
a possibility now on the impeachment side of it. You know,
if Joe Biden is guilty of bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors
and the evidence shows that I think they should impeach him.
(30:40):
I don't think he's ever going to get convicted in
a Democratic Senate. However, I think if the American people
need to see this, need to understand deeply, and when
you know, with all the stuff that league that Donald
Trump's dealing with, I think comparatively, this is a far
bigger deal than people know. And I think time's going
to that. Okay, appreciate the call, Joel, God bless you
(31:03):
in Iowa. James, South Carolina, what's up, James? How are you, sir?
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Good showing yourself.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I'm good man. Glad you called.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Yes, Sir, I had to call in because you were
talking about the illegals in New York City being put
in tense cities and they were complaining about being cold.
I'm retired military and spent twenty plus years in the military.
In the last two tour, spent a year each time
in the tent and it just makes my blood bowl
that these illegals again, everything and us as military events
(31:33):
have to beg improve everything to get the benefits that
would promise to us. And something's got to be done.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Uh yeah, I think a lot has to be done.
I think a lot of You know, I think we've
dropped the ball on a lot of things involving our vets.
Did you see the story recently let me let me,
let me see if I can pull this sucker up fast.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
It was a story about where is it? I got
it right here? Good I found it.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
There's a story that has come out about how thousands
of veterans are facing foreclosure and it's not their fault,
and how the VA can actually help them and anyway.
It talks about you know, a particular couple I won't
mention that name, you know, getting a letter of foreclosure.
The wife says, my heart dropped. They live in a
(32:20):
small farm in Oklahoma with her husband Ray, their two kids,
raised a US Army vet wounded in Iraq, and since
the forties, the federal government has helped veterans like him
buy homes through their VA loan program run by the
Department of Veterans Affairs. Now the VA has put this
family on the brink of losing their house. They didn't
do anything wrong, and like millions of other Americans, you know,
(32:42):
they took advantage of what's called the COVID Mortgage for Barans,
which allows homeowners to skip mortgage payments set up by
Congress after the pandemic hit for people that with lost income.
But an MPR investigation is finding that thousands of vets
who took the four bearans are now at losing their
homes through no fault of their own. We've got to
(33:03):
fix this. I'm looking at the clock. I gotta run.
I'll be right back. We'll call back again and I'll
talk more about it in the days to come. Okay,
appreciate it, Thanks sir. All right, that's going to wrap
things up for today. Hannity Tonight nine Eastern on the
Fox News Channel of the latest on the insanity within
the Biden administration, all of the pro Palestinian pro hamas
(33:24):
people working apparently in the Biden White House and Biden agencies.
We'll give you those details from the New York Times
and from the Washington Free Beacon and the New York
Post and all the news you'll never get from the
Mob nine Eastern. Say you DVR Hannity on Fox Sea,
then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making this show
possible
Well, well, come in your city.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Way.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I get taras and saying you a conscious zune will
be entire.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
And if you want a little banging your yin't come along.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
One thing we haven't agreed to is a cease fire.
A cease fire with Kamas means surrendered to comas, surrender
to term. There won't be a cease fire without the
release of the Israeli hostages.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And then do we go back to bombing.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
No, four hours.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We don't want four hours. We don't want sixteen hours,
we don't want twenty two. We want a cease fire now.
So the situation at the border you're saying is not
a disaster, That is correct.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
Afraidom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Coming.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
To your sentience, going away, I gets hoars and saying.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You a saw.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Sean Hennity show more, I'm the scenes.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
All right, News round Up, Information overload, hour toll free.
Our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, your
calls right at the bottom of the hour straight ahead,
you know, is there are great writers out there that
just have brilliant minds, which is why they usually become
number one best selling authors. And I think that our
(01:37):
friend Greg Jared has just written as next number one
best seller. And he's got a new book called The
Constitution of the United States and Other Patriotic Documents, That's
what it's called.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
And what is interesting in what makes us so timely?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He points out in this book how the Constitution and
all these patriotic documents you rediscover what made America this
beacon of hope for liberty and prosperity all around the world.
Since our founding, our country has been blessed with extraordinary
leaders who have have stealed our resolve for independence. But
(02:14):
yet we can't forget the admonition of Ronald Reagan?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Can we?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
That freedom is but one generation away from extinction? And
these these brilliant founders, these brilliant framers of our Constitution,
they invented a new form of government by the people
of the people, for the people, you know, each with
a different skill and talents. But in freedom, every American
has In this case, every person has the opportunity to
(02:40):
find their God given talents, bring them to fruition, pursue.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Their dreams anyway. So it's a it's a kind of
a collector's editions.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
The writings, the speeches, the letters of our founders and
our framers and their successors carefully selected, and Greg explains
it in great detail throughout the book. He joins us now,
by the way, and get it on Amazon dot com,
Hannity dot com and as of today and bookstores around
the country.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
How are you, sir, I'm well, and thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I thought that you, as a great American patriot, more
than most would truly understand and appreciate this book because
it is a tribute to the many patriots who made
America great. And you can read their most important documents, speeches, letters,
many of which change the course of history. Sean, They're
(03:31):
inspiring words, they're galvanizing ideas. All of them shaped America.
Are virtues, aspirations and our ideals.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know, you go back and not only just the
framers of the Constitution, the founders of this country. I mean,
I wonder if America, and especially in our educational system,
we've gotten so far away. How many kids have I
walked into a classroom today high school kids would know
(04:01):
the famous saying of Patrick Henry give me liberty or
give me death, or what that meant at the time,
or what would they know about the great pamphleteer Thomas Paine,
best known I think for common sense. You know, that
explains in detail that government in its best state is
a necessary evil, in its worst state, and intolerable one.
(04:21):
And then he talks about the formation of government, and
he says, for the guides and dictates of one's human
conscience irresistibly be obeyed, there'd be no need for any government,
any lawmaker ever, that not being the case because of
human frailty and we're fallen beings.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He talks about that. How many would know that?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Ben Franklin expressed, you know, misgivings at times about the
Constitution or the pause to prayer during the Constitutional Convention.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
How many people know these things?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well, sadly not many. And in fact, just last night
on Fox News we had a segment which it was
a man on the street interview of various individuals, most
of them young people, and fundamental questions were asked, you know,
about the creation of the constitution. Peop will ask what
(05:16):
was the Revolutionary War, about who won the Civil War,
same question the Cold War. Some young person said, oh,
it was chilly. You know, they all flunked with one
or two exceptions. And that is so symptomatic of our
(05:38):
education system today, which and I know this personally having
watched it unfold in my daughter's public schools. They just
don't teach fundamental American government, American history, the civics that
you and I learned have been long ago abandoned, and
(05:58):
I blame And there's a column on this today on
foxnews dot com that the Teachers Association, Randy Weingarten, it's
leader or to blame for, you know, the many parents
who decided to homeschool their kids because schools have failed children.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, how many might know that Alexander Hamilton and
James Madison, you know, put out a brilliant series of
essays that you referred to as the Federalist Papers, and
and how that became a blueprint for our own constitution.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah, I mean it was the most brilliant explanation with
the meaning of our constitution. And yet young people today
you ask them about the Federalist Papers, and you know,
they think, you know, you wrap your marijuana joints with
those papers. I mean, they have no idea what it is.
(07:00):
They've never read them. And what I tried to do
in this book was simplify and explain in putting context
the importance of these documents and the clarion warnings of
people like John Adams who said that unscrupulous men in power,
if left unchecked, would become ravenous beasts of prey, destroying
(07:25):
our government. Well, he's talking about today's FBI and the
Department of Justice and the intelligence agencies, isn't He? And
George Washington openly worried that the creation of political parties
in America would undermine freedom and become engines of unprincipled men.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
He was right.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
He counseled against them. Nobody listened. But you know, I
go beyond all of that, bold transcendent figures like Frederick Douglas,
Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
We'll stop there with Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln for
a minute, because you know, I don't think most people
remember the story of Frederick Douglas. You know, a former
slave escaped. You know, a confidant of Lincoln talked about
we the people. Doesn't mean we the white people. I
(08:21):
mean at the time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, you think of the great courage, you think
of the great alliance that they had together.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, previous presidents never welcomed anyone of color into the
White House. Abraham Lincoln changed all of that. And at
one point in time, when Douglas appeared at the White
House in a room full of people, Lincoln turned and
said to the entire room, the entire audience, here is
(08:50):
the man whose judgment I trust more than anyone else.
And he, of course was referring to Frederick Douglas. It
was oneiful relationship that they had together. And I repeat
in the book and explain two of Douglas's most powerful addresses.
(09:13):
His lament on the hypocrisy of American slavery, as you
point out, and he deplored the cruelty and deprivation of bondage.
Four million of our fellow countrymen, he said, are in change,
sold on the auction block with horses, sheep, and swine.
(09:35):
He was a pivotal figure that changed the course of
American history. It took time, of course, and a lot
of bloodshed, but it eventually happened.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
You know what, The beauty and I think this is
lost in the educational system. The beauty and the majesty
of our framers and founders. They were not perfect men.
They knew that they did not have the perfect form
of government. They understood that. But in their wisdom what
they did do because, for example, on the issue of slavery,
they knew if they dealt with it at the time,
(10:07):
that they wouldn't have had a country, The United States
would not have formed, our Constitution would not have been
adopted and ratified.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But they knew this.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The system they designed was specifically designed so that you
could in the future correct wrongs right injustices. And history
has proved them correct, has it not.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, it absolutely has. We continue to strive for a
more perfect union, but it's unachievable. Why because people are imperfect.
They're possessed of the same human frailties that afflict us
all and so were our founders. It was a shameful
(10:51):
Faustian bargain, as you point out, not to address slavery
as it should have been, and they did it to
obtain a bargain of passage of the Constitution by resistant
Southern states controlled by Democrats who were in favor of
slavery and virulently against all the abolitionists in the Union
(11:15):
the North, and of course we fought a great civil
war over it. But so there are heroes and villains
both in American history, and I try to be fair
about it. What I you know, this book doesn't promote
an agenda. It contains essential conservative documents as well as
(11:38):
liberal ones, from as you say, Booker T. Washington's Wonderful
Words to Reagan's Berlin's speech tear down this Wall, and
the wall came crumbling down, as did the Soviet Empire.
So this book is really philosophically patriotic, and anybody who
(11:59):
cares about this country and loves our freedoms, it seems
to me, should bread it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Got to take a quick break more with Greg jarrett
Is brand new book is out. The Constitution of the
United States and other patriotic documents collected and explained by
Greg himself. Anyway, Kennedy dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores
all around the country. Quick break more with Greg on
the other side than your calls eight hundred and ninety
four one Sean. As we continue, I we continue with
(12:26):
Greg Jared his latest bestseller just released today, The Constitution
of the United States and other patriotic documents collected and
explained by Greg himself. And Greg continues with us. What
I really like about the book, and this is where
your genius kicks in and your passion for our Constitution
kicks in and these other patriotic documents, is not only
(12:48):
is it a collection of them, but it's also the
explanation of them. And that is, you know, your passion
for history, your passion for the law, your passion for
you know context, and how do these issues relate to
where we are today? For example, November thirtieth, I've got
a debate that I'll be moderating between Rondo Santis and
(13:09):
Aaven Newsom, who are the biggest governors in the country.
You know it's going to be red versus blue and
state versus state. And I can't think of two different
approaches to governance than Governor Newsom and Governor DeSantis?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Can you?
Speaker 8 (13:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I can't. And what's wonderful about what it is you're
doing in I'd love to have a front row seat
to witness.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
By the way you, you and everybody else. You know
how many people want one?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I know I know I'll sit in my living room
with a bag of popcorn and watch it and cheer
you want, because I know you will do an exemplary job.
But this is our constitutional republic at its best. It
embodies free speech, the deliverance of different ideas and arguments
(13:59):
and principles. And you know, there'll be a start contrast
between these two men, DeSantis and California's governor, you know,
who I think has a lot of explaining to do,
but so does DeSantis, and it's going to be a
fascinating confrontation.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What do you think DeSantis's explanations need to be on
one of the ones you look for?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You know, I would like for him to explain his,
you know, various positions on the front runner, Donald Trump.
How does he contrast with Trump? Where does he disagree?
And you know, I'm sure you will ask him that.
(14:42):
But you know, Americans care most about the economy, what's
in their wallet, what they're paying for at the grocery
store and the gas station. And I'd like to hear
from both men how they're going to solve that problem.
And it's not just the removal of Joe Biden, you know,
(15:02):
in Bidenomics that has ruined our economy, and left Americans
in economic despair. But you know it's the border is
handling a foreign policy, the debacle and embarrassment and humiliation
in Afghanistan. He is waffling on Israel and the war
(15:22):
against Tamos terrorists. So I want to hear what both
men have to say about Trump and Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Well, the book is phenomenal and it's out today in
bookstores all around the country. It's called the Constitution of
the United States and other Patriotic Documents and collected and
explained keyword by Greg Jared himself number one New York
Times bestselling author. This might be your best work, and
you did great work with the Russia hoax. So I
(15:52):
don't know that is going to be interesting to see,
but I think people are going to enjoy it, learn
from it, hopefully even share it with their friends and
their family and their neighbors, and certainly their kids could
probably use it as well.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Greg, thanks for being with.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Us a great Christmas present for American patriots who love
their country, and thank you for your kind words about it.

We just talked about how I was going to a
liberal high school, and then you wanted me to call
you and follow up with you years later and tell
me tell you how I turned out. Well, I talked
to you last Mother's Day and you sent me your book,
which was amazing, by the way, And I don't know
if I got a chance to tell you just how
influential you've been to me in the last you know,
(20:20):
since I was thirteen and started listening to you, watching
you on Hannity and Combs. My uncle Irah gotten me
into listening to you. And I just don't know if
I ever thanked you and said I really wish some
day I could just shake your hand and look you
and I tell you, you know, you've taught me so
much about life, so much about politics and just the
way that things are. And at thirty six, now, I
(20:40):
just want you to know thank you from the bottom
of my heart for teaching me what you did. You
don't even know how much of an influence you had
on me. And now how I'm teaching my children what
I've learned from you and all your other buddies. And
I just I don't know. I just thought you should
hear thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I'll be honest, I'm very very touch fun to run
since he went on the air, and I guess maybe
I'm maybe that's just a sign I'm just getting older.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
We're in Tennessee, are you, by the way, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
In Murphreesboro, so just about twenty minutes south of Nashville.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well, what we have the Patriot Awards. What if I
could get you I assume you're married. What if I
got you and your husband tickets for the Patriot Awards.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Well, that would be incredible and I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All Right, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I can't guarantee it, but I'm gonna work my tail
off to make sure that I can get you in
the into the Patriot Awards. Okay, and Linda, you're gonna
work with Tiff and we'll try and make this happen
for you, and I hope I may not be able
to see you. I know I'm doing I know I'm
doing my show live on Thursday night. We're we're I
(21:49):
think it's at the I'm not even sure where it is.
Shouldn't I know this point now, Linda. By the way, Linda,
like I got a message every morning, this is your
schedule for today. Schedule for by the way, true enough,
true of false.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It's very true.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
And then you tell me I never sent it, and
then Ie greenshot the scent.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
It's super fun that.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of the way by
my life roles. Stay on hold. I'm gonna do everything
I can. If not, I'm going to send you like
a huge bag of box swag and panity football and
stuff like that. But I'm really going to try and
get you to the Patriot Awards. It's a very touching event,
and I don't really have a big part to play
in it. I just like to go and you know,
(22:31):
say hi to everybody and have a good time and
do my shows from there.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Well.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
I don't know if you go downtown in Nashville very often,
but my husband is a retired police officer who works
at kid Rocks in Nashville and.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Tsy, by the way, Kid Rock's going to be there,
Oh is he?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's funny. My d knows him because he works at
his bar off Duody, But it's in any of those bars.
My husband's sure he would die to meet you because
he feels the same way as I do about it.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I listen, I love music row, I love all you know.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
My buddy John Riches down there, kid Rocks down there,
they got a lot of lot of music stars have
opened up these incredible, fun honky tonks and music places,
and they're awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I don't I feel way more safe walking through Nashville
than I do in New York.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But I live such a quiet life. People would be
shocked at what a loser I am, Linda, Is that
a fair statement.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't know that I would call you a loser? Okay,
do I go out a lot?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
I would say that you go out in the circles
that you're comfortable with with the people that you know.
You're not somebody that goes out out not a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Now, when I do go out, I always enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Now, we did go to the Redneck Riviera in Vegas,
and Linda freaked me out because she was actually dancing
in John Rich's bar alone, which was I'm.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Like, what, he totally alone me and I'm like three
hundred other people on the dance floor, but I was
totally alone.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You were totally alone. Everybody else had a dance partner
but you, and you're just dancing away, you know, like you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
People can't keep up with these moves.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
That's not my problem, you know That's all right.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Bethany, stay on the line.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
We're going to try and hook you up with the
tickets and I look forward to hopefully maybe meeting you
and your husband.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That would be awesome.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. God
bless you and your family. Thank you for taking my
call and for entertaining my weirdness. You're one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh no, no, listen.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Let me tell you something. If you did not keep
listening to me, I would not be able to do
this every day. You're giving me a gift by listening.
So this is the least I could do. You've touched
my heart today. It means the world to me. I
do want to serve and do good in my life,
and and if I've had any positive impact on anybody's life,
I'm grateful.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I know I'm just a spoken the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But if we're all spokes and we're pulling in the
same direction, hopefully we can get our country back on track.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All right, bethany one more thing?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
My husband told me people, it's so important for people
to know how much they've you've how much they've touched you,
even though most people don't know, they're like hearing those things.
And I always told them, my God, tell Shan one
of these days. I gotta tell him, you know, like
he has no idea how much him and his journey
and everything that you've done and everything you've poured into
the public has meant to me personally. And I know
(25:11):
I'm just a random woman. In tennis You know who
am I. I'm just a random mom in Tennessee.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
But but you know what you are.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
But you know what what makes this country great? Think,
let's think about this. Do the politicians in Washington make
the country great?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
You know what makes the country great people like you
and your husband, and and the truckers and the first responders,
and the firemen and policemen, and the lawyers and the
doctors that heal us and the hospital emergency room workers
and the ambulance drivers and workers. You know, the ones
that get up every day, they work their tails off,
(25:45):
They put in there fourteen sixteen hours a day. They
raise their kids, they pay their taxes, they obey the laws,
They go to church on Sunday and just try to,
you know, achieve the American dream. They're the ones that
make this country great. It's not the people that are famous.
It's not the people you know whose names you hear
every day. And that's one of the things I love
(26:06):
about the Patriot Awards is we honor people that normally
don't get the recognition that they deserve. And so, from
my point of view, you're the true American hero, and
as is everybody that listens to this program and lives
the same life we're all living, grinding it out every day. Anyway,
(26:27):
stand the line, Bethany, appreciate your kind words. Aaron is
in Louisiana. Hey, Aaron, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Sir? Good? How are you doing today, sir?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm good man. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Man? I was just.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
Listen to your show every day and people are about
inflation and different things. But the kind of root calls
I'm owner of a trucking company, and kind of what
we're battling now and a lot of people don't talk
about is the new laws that were passed back in
February of twenty twenty two. How now when people want
to go get their trucker endorsements, they have to pay
(27:04):
for a class that's anywhere from twenty five hundred dollars
to eight thousand dollars, and it's kind of crippling the
trucking industry.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, you've been living through the worst trucking recession. I
happen to know more about trucking than you'd think, because
I have friends in the trucking business. The rates have
been awful, the price of diesel has been rising, and
you guys are not making It's been the longest trucking
recession on record.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Did you know that?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
How many?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Look at how many truckers trucking companies have gone under
in just the last year. I have been paying attention
to it because I know people in the business, and
I bet you know you're you're probably barely hanging on.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
If I'm not mistaken, that's correct.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
And I mean if you look at two years ago
when when Trumck is in office, now in Boby's office,
they have the truck price, So the trucks have gone
anywhere from one hundred and forty to one hundred and
eighty to now over three hundred and a half a
million dollars, and it's like, when's enough going to be enough?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
By the way, I know a guy buddy of mine.
I talked to him yesterday. He's actually gonna lease out
three of his trucks from his fleet. You interested, And
my answer, it depends, It depends on It depends on
what the least terms are, right exactly, hang on and
we'll get your number. I'll put you in touch with them.
Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't, but at least
(28:22):
they tried.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
All right, yeah, But my biggest thing is that we
need more politicians with the backbone to stand up and
do something about this new law that wouldn't effect because
if you notice that the people that are on the
road that are driving now, they're not experienced even coming
out of the class. There needs to be some type
of refel reform. Politicians staying in say enough enough because
it's secting us at the stores with eggs and everything.
(28:45):
Everybody wants to talk about decent stuff, but it's kind
of a twofold. Yes, Decel price is going up, but
when you're having to pay for people to come drive
these vehicles, it costs even more. And that's one of
the ways of helping the flatten the curves.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Listen, I just told this recession and trucking ends.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't think people truly appreciate the fact that everything
you buy and everything you in every store you go
to is only on that show because of guys like you.
All right, let me see if you can work out
to deal with my buddy. We'll hook you up. Linda
will put you in contact. Okay, stay right there, let's
go to Joel in Iowa. Joel, how are you glad
(29:24):
you called good.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
How are you, Sean, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (29:29):
I just hope that the House of House of Representatives
is thinking about the timing of the articles of impeachment
against Biden with his business dealings. I think there's a
good chance that the Democrats could possibly join the Republicans
and vote with them to impeach him to replace him
(29:51):
on the twenty four ballot. And what's your feelings on that, Well.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I think I think the odds are higher than they've
ever been. I mean, Joe is in a significant decline,
and I think that there's definite movement in the direction.
I mean, David Axelrod is a very powerful voice within
democratic circles. I mean he was Obama's you know, lead guy,
and for him to basically say get your act together
(30:18):
or get out is you know, pretty harsh terms. But
he's not the only one saying it. And he even
said every Democrat he talks to is saying it to him.
So you know, you got to look at it as
a possibility now on the impeachment side of it. You know,
if Joe Biden is guilty of bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors
and the evidence shows that I think they should impeach him.
(30:40):
I don't think he's ever going to get convicted in
a Democratic Senate. However, I think if the American people
need to see this, need to understand deeply, and when
you know, with all the stuff that league that Donald
Trump's dealing with, I think comparatively, this is a far
bigger deal than people know. And I think time's going
to that. Okay, appreciate the call, Joel, God bless you
(31:03):
in Iowa. James, South Carolina, what's up, James? How are you, sir?
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Good showing yourself.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I'm good man. Glad you called.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Yes, Sir, I had to call in because you were
talking about the illegals in New York City being put
in tense cities and they were complaining about being cold.
I'm retired military and spent twenty plus years in the military.
In the last two tour, spent a year each time
in the tent and it just makes my blood bowl
that these illegals again, everything and us as military events
(31:33):
have to beg improve everything to get the benefits that
would promise to us. And something's got to be done.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Uh yeah, I think a lot has to be done.
I think a lot of You know, I think we've
dropped the ball on a lot of things involving our vets.
Did you see the story recently let me let me,
let me see if I can pull this sucker up fast.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
It was a story about where is it? I got
it right here? Good I found it.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
There's a story that has come out about how thousands
of veterans are facing foreclosure and it's not their fault,
and how the VA can actually help them and anyway.
It talks about you know, a particular couple I won't
mention that name, you know, getting a letter of foreclosure.
The wife says, my heart dropped. They live in a
(32:20):
small farm in Oklahoma with her husband Ray, their two kids,
raised a US Army vet wounded in Iraq, and since
the forties, the federal government has helped veterans like him
buy homes through their VA loan program run by the
Department of Veterans Affairs. Now the VA has put this
family on the brink of losing their house. They didn't
do anything wrong, and like millions of other Americans, you know,
(32:42):
they took advantage of what's called the COVID Mortgage for Barans,
which allows homeowners to skip mortgage payments set up by
Congress after the pandemic hit for people that with lost income.
But an MPR investigation is finding that thousands of vets
who took the four bearans are now at losing their
homes through no fault of their own. We've got to
(33:03):
fix this. I'm looking at the clock. I gotta run.
I'll be right back. We'll call back again and I'll
talk more about it in the days to come. Okay,
appreciate it, Thanks sir. All right, that's going to wrap
things up for today. Hannity Tonight nine Eastern on the
