Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News rounds up Information Overload hour eight hundred
and nine for one Shawn our number if you want
to be a part of the program. We got a
big runoff in the great state of Alabama, my former hometown,
tomorrow for the center race to replace Richard Shelby. I
have known Mo Brooks since nineteen ninety when I was

(00:21):
broadcasting in Huntsville, Alabama, actually Athens, Alabama's where the station was.
I'm still friends with the owner of the station who
since sold it. But Moe used to fill in for me.
This is from nineteen ninety nineteen ninety two. He would
fill in for me, and he was actually really good
at it. He was the Madison County District Attorney at
the time, and as everybody knows, became a really strong

(00:44):
conservative congressman and he's now in serving Alabama's fifth congressional
district Tennessee Valley. By the way, Alabama was just voted Huntsville,
Alabama was just voted like the best city in America
to live in. It's amazing the growth they got. It's
a very cosmopolitan city. People from all over the country.
Some of the best brightest engineers, red Stone ars and etc.

(01:08):
That work there anyway. This is for the runoff tomorrow,
and Moe put out this ad. Here's what he's saying
in the final moments leading up to tomorrow's vote. Well,
the hardest thing about being a political candidate is taking
the rocks and knives and arrows that are thrown at you,
and you know the accusations are faults, and you know

(01:32):
you've got a fake news media or a very biased
news media against you, and trying to get the word
out to the public as to what the true facts
are so that the public can make a more informed
decision about who they really walked in public office. Another
challenging thing is helping the public understand what those true
facts are about all the candidates. When you're a candidate,

(01:54):
really what you are is a vessel for a belief system.
And I'm a strong believer and the foundational principles end
up combined to make America the greatest nation in world history.
You don't want to know what mob Brooks stands for.
Read the Constitution. Read it as is written by people
who were brilliant. Why do I say brilliant because they
came up with this government system that has empowered us,

(02:17):
enabled us as Americans to be the greatest national world distort,
and I'm going to fight tooth and nail those people
who undermine the Constitution. I'm trying to do the math
in my head. Moe Brooks is with us running for Senate.
The runoff is tomorrow, and I think I've known you
now over what thirty two years? That's about, right, John.

(02:40):
I remember when you were much younger and I had
less great air same here by the way, I was
a little skinny or two back in the day, although
I work out really hard and well. I mean, this
is going to be a close race by every account,
and I know that. You know. I look at your
track record. I've known you all these years. Heritage has

(03:01):
you at ninety four percent rating, which as a conservative,
the NRA a lifetime rating. If you look at other
you know, the ACU American Conservative Union ninety four percent
rating for one hundred and fourteenth Congress, the Freedom Works
ninety two Eagle Forum in twenty sixteen. I mean, you
have been and continue to remain a strong, solid conservative.

(03:24):
You know twenty two thirty two years that I've known you. Well,
I need you to come down to Alabama and say
that in person in every major metropolitan area because my
opponents are being brazenly dishonest and trying to portray me
as a voke liberal, which is the furthest thing from
the truth. You know it firsthand, Okay, that that is
the single most ridiculous thing anybody could ever say about you.

(03:47):
So not true. Well that's that. Thank you for iterating that.
Hopefully everyone in Alabama will hear those words. But by
way of example, we've got four people, four people who
have combined to spend over fifteen million dollars in attack
ads on me on Blackhawk down Pilot Mike Durant in
order to help Katie bridd who's never served a day

(04:09):
in public office and as a total role of the
die at the gamble and what she would do in
the United States Senate. But fifteen million dollars in Alabama,
that goes a long way. That's almost like these four
should just go ahead and tell the rest of the
state who our next senator is going to be. And
I can give you their names if you wan't to
of them, you know pretty well, Richard Shelby and Mitch McConnell.

(04:30):
And that's what we're up against in the state they're
outspending us a whole lot to a whole little, because unfortunately,
we concerns tend to be frugal people, and all we
want is a better America. That doesn't quite reach the
incentive that special interests have who want to profit from
government policy, who want to put themselves at the front

(04:50):
of the line, and American citizens at the back of
the line. And that's what we're fighting here in the
state of Alabama. But thank you for confirming to your
listeners that I am a conservative, because if you listen
to the tack ads launched by my opponent, you'd never
where is all her money coming from, because I've never
heard of him before. Well, it's coming from special interest
groups generally, more specifically special interest groups that won't open

(05:12):
borders in cheap foreign labor. The Chamber of Commerce crowd.
She's a part of that, the Business Council of Alabama,
whose number one party is bringing in cheap foreign labor,
legal and illegal. She was the president of the BCA,
and she ran from that position for the United States Senate.
And then you've got four other individuals that have put
in over fifteen million dollars, Richard Shelby, who many people

(05:36):
know as the number one cause of our thirty trillion
dollar deficit excuse me, accumulated debt in America. He's been
in Congress since the nineteen seventies, served on the Appropriations
Committee in the United States Senate. There's no other person
in America that is more responsible for our thirty trillion
dollars in debt than Richard Shelby. He's one of these

(05:58):
debt junkies. Spend money every which way you can, don't
worry about paying it off. You won't be around to
have to pick up the tab. Then you've got Mitch McConnell.
He's boasted about spending over two million in this race,
and that as of about four weeks ago, it's probably
more now. Then you've got a defense contractor out of Huntsville.
You know how the relationship is between defense contractors and
the federal government. If they can get an advantage over

(06:21):
their competitors by having a senator in their pocket, well
then they'll do it. That defense contractors put in four
million dollars. Then you've got a man down in southeast Alabama,
and it's fairly wealthy. He's in the wood and lumber business.
He's put in three million, and of course the suppliers

(06:41):
of that lumber they want to hire a chief foreign labor.
So add it all up, that's fifteen million right there.
And that's before you get to the special interest groups
and in particular the open borders and chief foreign labor
groups that are supporting my opponent. So it's a lot
of money for a state like Alabama, far more than
ever has been spent before. One of the things about

(07:02):
runoff elections is it's all about turnout. I mean, historically
runoff elections have very low turnout. How do you feel
about your get out the vote operation for tomorrow? We
feel pretty good. We don't have as good an operation
as I would prefer because of financial limitations, but Republicans
in concertis are starting to get it. You may know

(07:23):
Parker Griffith. He has publicly endorsed my opponent, Parker Griffith,
as a liberal Democrat from the Tennessee Valley, former congressman.
But most notably, word is finally getting out about a
tweet sent out by the executive director of the Alabama
Democratic Party listed it. The executive director of the Alabama
Democratic Party said this quote, yep, gaty BRIT's pretty awesome,

(07:44):
super helpful to us and the Doug Jones thing in
twenty seventeen and showed real leadership and supporting the gas
tacked increase for needed infrastructure improvements I think the world. Ever,
most Democrats understand she just has to say certain things
quote in order to win a Republican primary. Now embedded
in that as another big one, she and Katie Britt

(08:04):
and Richard Shelby combined to help elect pro abortion, pro
open borders liberal Democrat Doug Jones in twenty seventeen. Now,
we got too many people who claim themselves to be
Republicans who betray our beliefs, and you see them on
the Senate four and the House were vote against us
on a regular base. We got to get some people
who will fight for us and actually stick with our
team when the time gets tough. But unfortunately these we

(08:26):
need Republicans, they're all in on my opponent, Katie Britt.
So you can have a principal conservative Mobrooks who Sean
can vouch for me, I fight for our values in Washington, DC.
Or you can go with the same old kind of
stayed furniture sitting senators who enjoy the status of the position,
but don't want to do what's necessary and certainly don't

(08:46):
want to keep their campaign promises if it means that
they might ruffle some feathers. I remember that from back
when you were Madison County DA. I mean, that's how
far back we go. And I didn't take a lot
of vacation because they didn't have a lot of vacation
to take what I was there. And but you, you
would fill in on my radio show, and everybody in
I know, Madison County, in Limestone County at the time

(09:09):
loved you. It's You're right about a lot of things here.
You're right about the establishment, You're you're right about money
in politics. You're right about the influence of Mitch McConnell
and a lot of these races and the people that
he would prefer to be there. And one of the
reasons that I've supported you from the beginning is because

(09:29):
I do know you to be a solid conservative. I
don't think that this is a seat that Republicans are
going to lose, like in the Doug Jones case. I
think that that whoever wins is primary tomorrow will be
the next Senator from Alabama. And I just want the
most I want the most conservative people in these positions,

(09:50):
and that's who I know you to be. And the Democrat.
I faced the Democrat nominee a few years ago in
a ninth States progressional right and we beat him too one.
So there's absolutely no risk that I will lose to
Will Boyd if I'm the Republican nominee my opposition. I
don't know if that person and whether she's going to
be able to compete or not. There'll be a lot

(10:12):
of conservative Republicans who remember her turn conting on us
in twenty seventeen, and I'm very much concerned that some
of those conservative Republicans will engage in payback and do
what Katie Britt and Richard Shelby did in twenty seventeen,
encouraging our Republicans to either stay at home or to
write in somebody else rather than our Republican nominee. And

(10:32):
Doug Jones after the fact, gave Katie Britt and Richard
Shelby's strategy the credit for having gotten him elected. That's
how close that race was. And if you're familiar with
what happened after John McCain passed away, we got John
Calip pointed to replace him. That means we had to
repeal Obamacare. Right, wrong, because of what Katie Britt and
Richard Shelby did in electing Doug Jones in Alabama. So

(10:55):
we would have had the vote to repeal Obamacare, but
for their decision to betray our party and help a
liberal Doug Johns get elected. The United States sent all right,
quick break, We'll come back the runoff in the great
state of Alabama tomorrow. Mo Brooks, who have now known
for thirty two years, is in the runoff, would be
a great conservative senator from Alabama. I would continue with

(11:18):
Mo Brooks. He is in the Senate runoff of the
Republican Party in the great state of Alabama. I've known
him for thirty two years. This audience knows probably chapter
and verse, because I can describe what it means to
be a conservative in a minute. I believe in liberty.
I believe in freedom. I believe in our constitution. I
believe in capitalism. I believe in the principle of limited government,

(11:39):
less bureaucracy, lowered taxes. I believe in law and order
and safety and security so people can pursue happiness at
every town in every city. I believe in choice and education.
We spend more per capita than any industrialized nation with
the worst results. I believe in constitutionalists on the bench.
I believe in immigration that is legal. I believe should

(12:00):
secure our borders as tightly as possible. We have more
natural resources with natural gas and oil than the entire
Middle East combined, and we ought to be energy independent
once again. I believe in peace through strength, meaning we
have the biggest, meanest, toughest, kick ass military on the
face of the earth. I believe in pre and fair trade.

(12:21):
And yes, I support our constitutions first and second Amendment.
Just to add emphasis, I don't think it's that complicated
more to be a conservative. It's not. And that's why
virtually every group that supports what you've just itemized has
endorsed my candidacy for the United States Center in Alabama
on border security A plus record. We had numbers of
USA every year i've been in the United States Congress.

(12:43):
Second Amendment, right to bear arms. Who's going to actually
fight for it as opposed to acting the acts that
of doing the fight? Well, I've been endorsed by the
NA Gun Owners of American ass Association of gun rights,
care about moral values. I've been endorsed by Ego Forum,
care about pro life, I've been endorsed by Alabama Citizens
for Life. Just go down the list across the board
on conservative positions, I'm there. Unfortunately, Sean, as you know,

(13:07):
we operate at a monetary disadvantage because our people who
support our conservative values just don't have the money that
these special interests have. They just don't have the money
of the establishment weighing the Republican Party. So that's our
uphill fight. And I hope tomorrow that the citizens of
Alabama have figured out and do what's in the best
interests of their country. And I asked them to vote

(13:29):
for Moe Brooks. Well, since nineteen ninety you've been doing that,
and since I've known you all these many years, you
have proven that over and over and over again. And
I enthusiastically support people going out and voting for you tomorrow.
And I wish a lot of luck in the primary.
We could use somebody like you in the Senate, and
I wish you all the best. By the way, I
haven't changed much, have I in the thirty two years

(13:51):
since you've known me. You are a firebrand and we
need people like by the way, the Huntsville News go ahead,
let's now no longer in existence. When the day I
left had an editorial goodbye to the talk show host
from Hell. I think that's a compliment. It absolutely is
by most any news media from the United States. All Right,

(14:14):
my friend Mo Brooks tomorrow in Alabama. Listen, tomorrow's about turnout.
Forget the polls. When I'm telling you, when it's a
runoff election, a lot of people don't show up. If
you're supporting Mo and conservatism, you gotta show up anyway.
We appreciate it. One of the race, by the way,
we're paying attention to, is in the new king Ridge's
old district, and this is in the sixth district of Georgia,

(14:37):
and a real strong, solid conservative, Jake Evans. He's running
in a contested race, a runoff race. Tomorrow. Known him
for a long time. He is a solid conservative. So
for our Georgia listeners, Jake Evans, if you're in Congressional
District number six, there holding them accountable. Sean gets the

(15:12):
answers no one else does. America deserts and know the
truth about Congress. All right, twenty five until the top
of the hour, eight hundred nine for one Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program, you
know what really angers me. I mentioned this earlier in
the program. Today, everyone in the Biden administration just flat

(15:33):
out lies to us. We've done everything we can do.
There's nothing left that we could do about gas prices. No,
we don't need to drill. No, no, you know, John
Kerry is saying, at grand Holmes saying, at Buddha Jade
is saying, they're all saying it and it's all a
lie and it's beyond frustrating. Or Jennifer Graham Holmes saying
inflation is a global problem, she said this weekend. And

(15:55):
she also goes on to say, you know, Biden hasn't
you know, had no reason. Why don't they cut the
eighteen point three cents in every gallon of gasoline that
we buy, the federal tax on gasoline. It's going to
be a tough summer for high gas prices, you claimed,
like really, But now of them saying there's nothing left
for them to do, needs plenty they can do. Increase

(16:18):
the world's supply, simple basic economics and increase our energy
independence and adopt the Trump policies on energy. We could
do that. Listen, listen to every Democrats the same talk.
Nothing else we can do. Listen. The idea we're going
to be able to, you know, click a switch bring
down the cost of gasoline is not likely in their tournament.

(16:42):
With respect to energy, the administration has done everything that
they can to bring down energy costs. Unfortunately, that is
the brutal reality. Hey, the reality is that there isn't
very much more to be done. How do you say
that at I mean, there's been rightfully so, there's been

(17:03):
a lot of analogies made about Jimmy Carter, you know,
the Malie speech that he gave and telling us that
we have to wear sweaters. Listen to Jimmy Carter, how
that sounds just like him. It's clear that the true
problems of our nation are much deeper, deeper than gasoline

(17:24):
lines are energy shortages, deeper even than inflation or recession.
And I realized more than ever that as president I
need your help. I have been reminded again that all
the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with America.

(17:45):
You mean you can't fix it, then get out of
the wave and hire somebody they can. It's that simple.
Let's say, how to Warren is in Idaho, Warren, how
are you glad you called? I'm good, Sean. Thanks for
talking to me, to talk to you for years, listen
to your radio for years, and well, thank you, my friend.

(18:05):
I've been out in Boise a couple of times. What's
going on? I'm actually north, I'm in Corde Lane. It's prettier.
A lot of people moving out to Idaho because they
like the lifestyle better. Absolutely, but you know, even here
in Idaho listening to them saying they can't take the energy.
I've got a small business and fuel prices, lumber prices

(18:27):
are just killing everybody. I just had to move my
daughter from Montana back home because she can't afford rent
gas commuting, you know, on food and groceries. And it's
gonna be a lot of that doing. Are you in
the building trades, I'm I'm sort of in the building trades.
We do real estate sign installation. Okay, let me tell

(18:50):
you what's going to happen to your business. It's going
to slow up dramatically because with rising interest rates, it
becomes unaffordable for people to buy homes, new new home
construction will come to a screeching halt. Sale of existing
homes similarly will stop because people don't want to give

(19:11):
up their two point eight percent thirty year fixed mortgage anymore.
So that's going to be a big problem then we're
going to have. As a result of that, home values
are going to plummet dramatically and interest rates will continue
to rise. Contractors, you know, the guys you couldn't find
for a year out, They're now going to be dying

(19:31):
for work pretty in pretty short order. All of this
is a consequence of this insanity climate alarmism cult that
the Democratic parties now become all of it preventable, all
of it fixable, not going to happen on their watch.
And they'd say it with the straight face, the lies

(19:53):
like you say and you point out and everybody points out.
They say it with a straight face because they don't care,
and they're doing it on purpose. They said they were
going to do it. Joe. How many more times do
I have to play Joe Biden as a candidate saying
I'm going to eliminate fossil fuels. It's gone, I'm done,
we're moving on, And then we get there, so tell me,
what is the alternative? What do we replace it with?

(20:16):
They don't have an answer for that either. So we're stuck.
And they're so indoctrinated, they're so brainwashed into their own
talking points that they're going to let all every Americans suffer.
But we're only going to take their sufferings for so
long until we say, throw them the hell out of office.
And that's what this election's got to be about. Throwing

(20:39):
these idiots out, you know, getting rid of the cult alarmists,
the religious cult alarmists, get rid of them, return to
energy independence, return to sound economic policies, and we can
get the engine of America's economy running again. It's that simple.
I wish it would complicate it to do it so well.

(21:01):
November step one, but that'll that'll kind of plug up
the hole in the boat that's taken on all those
water and sinking all of us. I mean, your daughter
is a prime example. By the way, She's not unique.
There are no plenty of parents now either helping their
kids out financially because of the very reasons you cited.

(21:22):
You know, if you're gonna pay six thousand more per
household in Biden inflation, and if you drive a car
to and fro work, to and from work, you're gonna
pay another two grand and gas every year. You can't
afford it, especially young people starting out, Those young people
starting out that we're hoping maybe they'd get their new home.
Well maybe they were going to pay eighteen hundred dollars

(21:43):
a month for that first house, and you know, with
x percentage down, but now they're getting close to twenty
seven hundred a month. Okay, they can't afford it. They're
not going to be able to afford that new home.
And people that are locked into low rate, thirty year
fixed more just they're going to cling to those like
it's manna from heaven. I promise you they're not gonna

(22:05):
not gonna be looking to move anytime soon. Yea. Even
the rental prices, they've priced our young people out of
the markets twenty percent nationwide, yep, yep. In North Idaho.
Up here in North Idaho, the suicide rates have almost
doubled in fifteen to thirty year olds because of all

(22:26):
of this, And they don't talk about that. Well, you're
right about all of these things, and we're feeling at all,
and then you know, this is why the Smith. Term
matters so much anyway, Warren, I can talk to you
all day. Thank you, my friend, God Buss, you appreciate
you being with us. Let us go to Diana is
in the Free State of Florida. Diane. How are you

(22:47):
glad you called? Well? Thank you? Sean? How are you?
I'm good? Thank you good. I've been talking to you
three or four times, starting in the early nineteen nineties
when I first moved to Atlanta. You're a little pup
he running around Buckhead and on top of radio. When
I moved nineteen ninety four to Atlanta, I served the
channel looking for a talk show if I can listen

(23:09):
to going to work or whatever, and never really cared
for the music. Can you believe at the same principles
that I advocated in Atlanta and in Huntsville I stand
by today. I'm not really I've never changed who I
am as a person in terms of my value system,
I belief system. Then. I was listening to a podcast

(23:30):
the other day, and I believe it was from your
buddy Bill o'liley, which is the only reason I'm going
to mention it. Can you ass and I believe on
his show, I think it had to be his that
he was saying that these moons they just favorite word
that are talking this climate change and everything. It is
part of a cult. And he said, if you take
people from a cult and you try to reindoctrinate them

(23:53):
and try to get them out of it, there's usually
only like a fifteen percent success rate. So I go
saying the same thing last week. He sure wasn't me
because I said that exact thing. Well, I said, the
deep program, people is hard. I only listened to the
two of you. Listen. Bill is a common sense guy,
and you know, one of the things that we have

(24:15):
in common is, you know, we kind of both have
blue collar roots and and we have very different paths
in our career, etcetera. But I think one of the
I think there are two things to the extent that
I've been able to stay around it in my life.
One is my my deep abiding faith in God. And
I believe with all my heart that this has been

(24:36):
an undeserved life for me that God gave me. And
and He is, you know, the most genius, majestic universes
within universes. We can't comprehend God. If we were supposed to,
we would what we can. I'm Catholic too, I understand.

(24:58):
And then the other thing is hard work. I did
all those jobs. I live paycheck to paycheck. I haven't
forgotten where I came from. And it's weird, right, I mean,
I can afford to fill up my tank every day
if I had to, But every time I fill it up,
that chip in my brain from when I was poor
still exists, and I'm like, it just pisses me off.

(25:19):
Does that make any sense? Yes? It does. My unthing
that I'd like you to expound on is just who
the heck really is running the White House. We know Biden,
isn't It's Obama, and I don't know. Nobody really knows.
I have my suspicions. But my next I know when
you won't tell us, and I hate you for that.

(25:39):
And now you sound like Linda. Oh my gosh. Wow. Listen,
you're talking to another New Yorker from twenty talking. I'm
talking to a coffee drink in New York or go
aheads Yeah, okay, So, and then what are we gonna
do if Michelle Obama run? It's in two thousand any four.

(26:01):
You don't have any choice? Do you have to try
to fight your hardest to win. Do you think if
if I think America is now waking up to a truth,
and the truth is socialism, new Green dealism, climate alarmist,
religious cultism is destroying the country. And she listen. I

(26:29):
don't dispute that. Oprah Winfrey, you know, has a big
following too, But I will tell you I think most
people tend to vote bread and butter issues, piece of
prosperity historically or what drive elections, and philosophically, I mean,
there are moments, movements at times that just you know,
take on a certain you know, momentum that you're just

(26:51):
not going to be able to stop. Trump was one
of them. Obama in two thousand and eight, I don't
John McCain was never going to win that race, and
in retrospect I could see that. I always thought there
was a chance, and we just got we have a
job to do, and our job is to educate the
American people and give them news and information so that
they can make informed decisions. And you know, Diane, at

(27:12):
the end of the day, I don't know if you've
had children, but at the end of the day, what
I always tell my kids, I can only tell you
so much. I'm not going to be there in the
moments where you've got to make the right choice and
the right decision. I can tell you till I'm blue
in the face, But in that moment, you will decide,
and your decisions in life have consequence. So I'll try

(27:35):
to instill that of my kids all the time. And
I'm blessed, Thank God, I have two really good kids.
Beyond what I deserve, and that's the same for all
of us. We will get the government we deserve in
the end. There's only so much that me, as one
spoken this wheel, that I can do. But of all
of us, I looked at Dan Crenshaw what I didn't

(27:56):
like about Dan Crenshaw this weekend and what happened, and
they were going at him like crazy. And I'm watching
this and I'm listening, and I'm thinking, if you don't
like Dan Crenshaw, don't vote for him. This is a guy,
whether you like him or don't like him, he was
He served our country. He was a lieutenant commander. He

(28:19):
lost his right eye in twenty twelve during his third
deployment when he was hit with an IED explosion in
Afghanistan and it destroyed his eye. He required surgery to
save the vision in his left eye. And if you
think he's a rhino and you don't agree with him
and you don't want him as your congressperson, didn't congressman

(28:40):
vote him out, but you know, to dismiss the fact
that he gave all of that to this country and
attacking him the way I saw, I didn't like it. Now,
Republicans are often guilty of creating the circular firing squads.
And there's an old adage Reagan use to you, if
you're eighty percent in agreement with me, you're not my enemy.

(29:04):
You know, we have people now that are now advocating, pushing,
supporting policies that will destroy what this country once was.
It will it will alter it in ways that we'll
never be able, that will be so transformed, it will
never be able to get back to where we were.
So we have a much bigger fight here. And rather

(29:26):
