Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news, round up information overload our eight hundred

(00:02):
and nine for one, Shawn, our number if you want
to be a part of the program. So the battle
has begun. We had Jim Comer on Hannity last night
on the TV show as he investigates the Biden family
syndicate as well as the top secret classified documents now
found in four separate locations of Biden. But the investigation

(00:24):
in the Judiciary Committee because Comer's oversight with Jim Jordan,
these these investigations run in tandem because Jim Jordan has
the difficult task of investigating whether or not your FBI
is politicized and your Department of Justice has been weaponized.
The Ohio congressman joins us. Now, Jim Jordan, sir, how

(00:45):
are you glad you're with us? I'm fine, song good
to be with you. Thanks, Thanks for all you do
to get the church of the American people. We appreciate that.
I'm trying my best. You know, you were vindicated on
the Russia hoax. I was vindicated on the Russia hoax.
Many of us vindicated in that, and we didn't get
the proper conclusion. But that's not my question. I want

(01:05):
to get to the issue now as it relates to
the documents. We have three standards that we can look at.
We can look at the Hillary Clinton's standard, which is
no prosecutor whatever prosecute ignoring thirty three thousand deleted emails,
ignoring devices that were beaten with hammers, ignoring missing simcards.

(01:27):
And then of course we have the FBI and parents
at school board meetings being investigated as domestic terrorists. And
then we have the issue of Donald Trump's rate at
mar Lago. Then we have the issue now of Joe Biden,
and the Justice Department was invited to go into Biden's
homes four separate locations now where documents were found top

(01:47):
secret ones, and they choose not to do so, why
did they invade mar Lago? Why didn't they invade Hillary's
house or or Joe Biden's Right now, it's it's a
glaring double standard at the American Yeah, the FBI said,
the justiciary said, well, we considered, we considered going along
with Biden's lawyers to look at these documents at his home,

(02:08):
but decided against it. And they again, compared to the
raid at President Trump's house ninety one days before an election,
with CNN helicopters and cameras and everything else there. The
Clinton one maybe is even better, though, Sean, because I
remember we asked Clinton this question during our investigation with
ben Ghazi. We said, you got sixty some thousand emails
on your personal computer. We don't want to see the

(02:29):
personal one. This is America. There's a thing called privacy.
We respect that, we should honor that. We don't want
to see that. But you know what, we don't exactly
trust you and Cheryl Mills and the Rescuer lawyers to
give us everything we're entitled to have in the American
people should be able to see. We don't exactly trust that.
So why don't we do it this way? Why don't
we take a neutral third party, like a retired federal judge.
They'll come in and evaluate it, They'll turn over what

(02:50):
we should be, what we should say, They'll they'll keep
personal stuff for you. And of course the Clinton team said, no,
we don't want to do that. Now, contrast that to
President Trump. President Trump, did you get to have his
lawyers decide on all this? He even though he was
working with the Justice Park, he didn't get aside that
he wasn't extended the neutral position, which is like, let's
let someone else come into do it. It was no,

(03:11):
we're going to raid your home. That is what is
so obviously, and it's part of this bigger picture of
this double standard we see in the Justice Department, the
unequal application of the law. That's what has Americans concerned,
and that's what we're going to try to focus on
on the House Judiciary Committee. Now you talk about this
unequal justice, I've been saying for a long time we

(03:33):
don't have equal justice or equal application of our laws.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, Congressman. But didn't the
FBI have unfettered access to the very room where the
documents were found at Marolago. They weren't found in Milannia's closet.
They were found in the room that the FBI had
already been to, the very room that the FBI could

(03:53):
have taken documents freely if they wanted them, But they didn't.
The same FBI that called and said would you mind
putting a pad on that room store which they complied with.
So they had the access, didn't they? Yeah? Yeah, So
the FBI had already been to that location in mar Lago,
and they said that's not enough. Even though you've done everything,
even though we're working with you, we're not going to
come raide your entire hold. Again, contrast that with President Biden,

(04:16):
where the FBI said, we're not even going to go
to the one location we already know there are classified
documents that one room in your home, the room we're
not even going to go to there with that one spot.
Let alone go there with agents and tour of the
and and look at the whole entire premises. So again
glaring difference in and how they do it. And then
the other thing I think it stands out to Sean

(04:37):
is they tell us they're being transparent every time she
does a press conference. Queen John here, everytime she does
the press conference, she's talking about how transparent we're being. Well,
remember the timeline. November second, they find classified documents at
the Biden Center. December eighteenths they find him at in
the garage. Oh I'm sorry. January ninth day, find the
media comes out and says, yes, there were documents down

(04:57):
at the Biden Center, and the White House confirms the
the your report, but doesn't tell us about the documents found.
December eight King at the residents, even though they already
knew it at the time. So how are you being
transparent with the American people? Let alone the question of
you knew about this before the midterm election and said nothing.
So this transparent? The issue is to keep talking about
every time they say it, I'm saying, like, no, you're

(05:18):
not being transparent whatsoever with the American people. See my
timeline is this the raid in August at Mara Lago.
Then it was November second when they first learned that
documents top secret classified information was at the Penn Biden
Center at six days before the election. They chose not
to inform the American people. That was a decision. Remember

(05:41):
Christopher Ray and Merrick Garland, they said, we made the
call to raid Mara Lago. Then then they know that
Joe Biden has this problem. But it was two weeks
after the election when they then appointed a special prosecutor
only for Donald Trump, not for Joe Biden. Yeah, how
they've since done that. Why didn't they do it at

(06:02):
the same time? Yeah, good point, good point, decided to
keep information from us. You know, my colleague and Fren
mac Gates has said in committee, you know, when is
the FBI just going to stand out an election and
let the American people decide. Because in twenty sixteen they
were spined on President Trump's campaign. Twenty eighteen it was
the Muller investigation. Twenty twenty, they suppressed the story about
the Hunter Biden laptop. Twenty twenty two, they raid President

(06:23):
Trump's home ninety one days before the election. They know
about classified documents at Joe Biden's pen center, the Biden Center,
and they don't tell us. Maybe just let we the
people decide who we want to elect and not get
involved in every darn election. And now, of course here
we are going into twenty twenty four and they got
special counsels on the two candidates, the two likely candidates
for president of the United States. So maybe just stay

(06:46):
out of it and let the American people pick who
they want representing. So let's go through this a little
bit more slowly. And that is the major question that
you are asking in the Judiciary Committee, and what you're
investigating has to do with two fundamental questions. Has the
FBI been politicized, has the DOJ been weaponized? And what

(07:06):
specifically are you planning on looking at. Well, we're going
to start with what the whistle blowers have tall us
and we broke this news I think on your show
several months back. But we now have over two dozen
whistle blowers, but initially like just over fourteen, and then
the number just keeps growing. So we're going to start
with them. Many of these guys have been retaliated again,
so many of them, once they come talk to us,
they then have their clearance taken from them. Some of

(07:28):
them have been suspended. Someone's had to resign just because
they don't want to deal with it. Another one we've retired.
And of course we know about Nicole Parker, who you
had on your program. We know about the piece she
wrote in Fox News where she said why she left
the FBI she was an accomplished agent. So this is,
this is These are the people we're going to talk to.
We think many of them are going to be willing
to be deposed and then come forward and tell their story.

(07:49):
We already know if some who have Kyle Farrappon has
come forward and talked about what he's experienced at the FBI.
So we're going to start with those, and then we'll
also look at people who've been targeted. I mean, I
think of them. I think of the twenty five parents
we know of twenty five parents who have been targeted
by the Justice Department, had the FBI show up at
their door simply because they went to a school board
meeting and spoke up for their son or daughter and

(08:10):
they were targeted because of this apparatus, this thing that
this process that Merritt Garland put in place. We want
to talk to some of those individuals who've been the
targets of what we think is this unequal application of
the law and this political motivation at the Justice Department.
So that's where we're going to go. And I always
say the first step in stopping this is to get
all the truth, all the facts out there for the

(08:31):
American people. And that's what we're supposed to do under
the Constitution as part of our oversight duties in Congress.
And we're going to do it. The fact that we
had for the longest time fourteen fifteen of these agents
whould come forward. Now, let's up over two dozen who
have come and talked to us, talk to Republican staff
members on the Judiciary Committee about and told their story.
You may not be able to answer this question, how

(08:53):
long did you know about Nicole Parker, who I interviewed
on TV two wasn't one. Two, wasn't one that that
initially comes to us that we we had talked to
at least on the list that the staff has put
together from me to look at um. But there are,
like I said, there are over two dozen at that
have been there that we know of that I've got.
I've got a briefing on a number of these individuals.

(09:14):
And as I've said, many of them, many of them
had lost the security clearance, have been suspended after they
come and talk to us. And I always always point
to when we first talked about this on your TV show.
It was the very next day that the Attorney General
then sent out a memo to everyone in the Justice
Department about the rules of engagement. If you can say,
the rules for talking to members of Congress with oh no,

(09:36):
he sent out a memo reminding them that they're not
allowed to talk to Congress. That means members of the
House or the Senate. If I'm not mistaken, Congressman. That
was the night after you were on my show talking
about them. Sure was, Sure was. And the very next
day he does that memorandum, which is which is a
You know, I don't know if that's good or bad
for you and me. That Mark Garland is watching Hannity

(09:59):
every night, Well, you probably watched him. There's always some
breaking news there. But I don't know if they have
such such fine intentions to be informed and educated about
how corrupt they are. Let me ask you this. You know,
you know all about the Church Committee and Kevin McCarthy
has described as as a Church Committee style investigation. Is

(10:20):
there a chance that the only solution all of this
is for the FBI to hit the reset button? And
it's if they are ever to achieve their former greatness
as the premier law enforcement agency in the world, that
there's going to have to be drastic changes and that
would keep them out of the political arena. I do

(10:40):
think that we we we anticipate after we go through
our work and we complete this stuff in this in
this Congress, we do in state bringing forward legislative changes
that we think need to be made. Um that, I mean,
here's a simple one that we've we've we've talked about
and actually offered as an end before. When the FBI
does an interview of someone, why did they just get
to write things down and then that form becomes the

(11:01):
basis of whether they decide to prosecute or not. And
we know that form was altered in particular with some
of the folks they were going after back when they
were spying on Presidential's campaign and going to the fire
of the court, people like Michael Flynn. So why not
audiotape that? So we have an actual audio tape of
what was said in that, what the question was, what
the response was. Why not an audio tape that? That
seems to me, So maybe someone can tell me why

(11:22):
that's a bad idea, But many of our members on
the Republican side think that's a good safeguard for liberty,
for freedom, and for even for the FBI agent. So
there's there's some practical things that are at least in
that we're thinking about now. But we want to go
through this investigation and find out what legislative solutions and
changes that we think merit being brought forward and passed.

(11:43):
Let me switch gears a little bit with you and
talk about it's all the Democrats would like us to
think and believe that the dead ceiling battle is something
that's happening right now because they want to change the
narrative in the country. Am I wrong in saying that
that dead ceiling battle is any months away? Yeah, we're
not gonna there's you know a quote extraordinary measures they

(12:04):
can do, the treasure of Cartner can do and not
hit that. So we got we got months here. But frankly,
we should be making the case and I know you do.
And we got a record spending, record, inflation, record dead.
So the Democrats just passed at one point seven trillion
monstrosity of a bill. Democrats passed it. We in the
House House Republicans, we were opposed to it. And now
they're telling us the White House said three days ago, uh,

(12:27):
we will not negotiate with House Republicans on the death filling. Well,
you just passed a huge bill, so you go ahead.
You get to spend the money, and then we don't
get to do anything to change the structure and how
we're gonna borrow money and what we're gonna spend it on.
You gotta be kidding me. So that's their attitude, which
is so out of touch with reality where we are fiscally,
so we're where our death problem is. And then this
idea that they passed that and then somehow week now

(12:48):
we have to just give them more money for a
bill they passed it with and work with us on
You gotta be kidding me. So yeah, we're gonna fight
this thing, and Speaker McCartney's being clear about that. Quick
break moral with Jim Jordan. He's the head of the
Appropriations Comte. He will be investigating if your FBI is politicized,
your DOJ weaponized, and much more. We'll continue. We continue
with the head of the Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan of

(13:10):
Ohio is with us. You believe that Republicans can put
aside their egos and put aside their phones and get
in a room and hammer out a strategy that they're
going to stick to and everybody's going to stay united
on as it relates to what they decide is important
in the debt sailing fight, I do, and I think
frankly it's we will probably land on some structural thing.

(13:32):
Here's an easy example. Oh, you know what, if you're
going to borrow more money, sattle in the American people's
more debt, you at least going to do a budget.
You gotta show us how you're going to spend that money.
After all, you just spent one point seven trillion on
some crazy bill three and a half weeks ago. So
at least do a budget if they haven't done a
Democrats never do a budget. So put forward a budget.
Here's another one, instead of get into September thirty and oh,
we're going to shut down the government if your Republicans

(13:53):
don't spend a bunch more money and do what Joe
Biden and Chuck Shumer want to do. Instead of doing that,
let's pass a bill now that says there there is
no shutdown if we don't If we don't fund the
government by September thirtieth, at the end of the fiscal year,
you automatically spend at the level we are currently at. All, right,
can you just affirm for me what I know? And
I'm telling my audience that even during the little squabble

(14:15):
we had for four days, that every single Republican I'm
talking to right now is united and there's no hard
feelings among anybody now. And I give the speaker credit.
He has placed Republicans on a spread them around the
conference on good committee assignments, different committee assignments to get
conservatives on other committee that they weren't necessarily on to

(14:36):
get some more moderate members on the committees where conservatives
dominated at we think that's better for unity and frankly
and most importantly, better for the country. We think it's better.
We think we'll get a better work product out of
that kind of arrangement and configuration. So I give the
speaker a lot of credit. But yeah, we're we're focused
because we know where the left. I mean, think about
earlier this week, the left wanted to get rid of

(14:57):
the gas stoves. I mean, this is sound crazy there.
We better stick to get Yeah, you're not taking not
taking my guests stove. I'm telling you right now, no
way in hell I'm not letting that happen anyway. Jim Jordan, Republican,

special website we set up Sean Sea n FO R
Hillsdale dot com Sean for Hillsdale dot com. As I said,

(17:45):
over thirty courses to choose from, pick whatever one you like,
and be a more educated American individual. In twenty twenty
three at Sewan for Hillsdale dot com. You won't regret it, Linda,
Some liberals on the left. So we do this last
call thing on Hannity the TV show, and we run
the numbers through this our radio show. Uh. And the

(18:09):
first week we used callers that we knew just to
get it started to let people know kind of what
we're up to. By the way, Velmas gave me as
what don't you give me a C something C minus
or C plus something. It's very embarrassing though. Um, you
do remember that I used to have the Hate Hannity Hotline.
Remember that? I mean, is that a real question? Of course?
I ran the damn thing. Yeah, I remember, okay, and

(18:31):
pretty vicious. As a matter of fact, the majority of
calls to the Hate Hannity Hotline we couldn't even salvage
because of all the expletives that were U in the
tower left. Man, they never cease to disappoint, I'll tell you,
they just they just bring all the hate. So people
are saying, oh, these calls are rigged on Hannity the

(18:54):
TV show. Um, you're the one that is in charge
of of getting the names and handing them over to TV.
Now that we're taking, you know, anonymous callers, for the
most part, we don't know them. I got two A
plus plus ratings in a row. Now, there are people
that are gonna be watching Hannity that like Hannity the show,

(19:14):
and people think, oh, well, where are the people that
hate Hannity? So maybe we should just solicit them. So
and I have no problem putting critics of the show
on the air. That's the whole point of it. What
do you like about the show? What do you dislike
about the show? And then grade me on my performance.
I think I just want to I just want to
finesse what you're saying a bit. If if you if

(19:35):
you don't mind you gently, you know, massage that a little.
Is that you want to correct me? In other words? No,
I mean, you know, potato pozzato, you don't, however you
want to say it. I think at the end of
the day, what we're looking for is a constructive conversation.
I'm not interested in hearing about how you're gonna murder, mutilate,
to capitate and any of the other things you've learned
from Kathy Griffin and watching any of the other stupid liberals.

(19:57):
I don't want to hear any of that crap. If
you disagree with policy or thoughts or ideas, and you
think there's a constructive way to have a conversation and
we are all in, we'd love to have you call
in and say, you know, drives me nuts when you
do this. I would give you an F on this
and F on that. You know, I would do it
this way, you know, and YadA YadA. That's what we're
looking for. We're not looking for all the hate Hannity hotline.
You know, you know what I am thinking of. And

(20:18):
by the way, if you do want to be the
last call on Hannity the TV show, you call this
number eight hundred and nine four one sean between the
hours of three and six Eastern and one person gets selected.
You watch the TV show, tell me what you like
didn't like, and then you can grade me at the
end of it. What would be funny is one night
if you graded me like, for example, I think every

(20:38):
night I'm grading you at home. So why not let
the American public know what I think? All right? So
did you watch last night show? Of course, of course,
Now what did you think of the show and how
would you What did you like? Maybe? What did you
not like last night? I thought your hair looked particularly good.
That was my favorite part of the show. I think
that stop. How long I usually take a shower about

(21:01):
eight forty every night. First of all, I've been seated
about eight fifty. And just so everybody knows, Sean doesn't
let anybody do his hair. He doesn't let anybody do
his makeup. He does all his zone stuff. And Sean's
idea of makeup is not the rest of ours. So
it's like a thirty second take NW thirty. I take
this big brush, soft brush, I dip it in the
makeup and blah blah blah blah blah blah, boom done.

(21:23):
I'm done in less than forty seconds putting on the
make But you know what I think, No, you know
what I thought. Now you have to wear makeup on
TV or else you look like a ghost. So the
makeup just takes away the ghost apparents and just I
have to do it. They make me do it, But
I don't have to sit there for an hour like
I used to. It used to take you know, makeup
artists want to take their time. I don't want to
take my time. Yeah, but I think okay, So in all,

(21:45):
in all seriousness, I think what you did really well,
and not just this last night, but over the last
couple of days, is talking about you know, Biden, Chinese money,
understanding that, you know, this Delaware home, the visitor logs,
you know, some of the things that I think a
lot of other shows are not talking about. They're getting
wrapped up, and not that the World Economic Forum isn't

(22:05):
also important. You've done great work on that. But you know,
obviously you know, humpty dumpty being there. Great love that,
But I think you've done a really nice job of
talking a little bit about you know, the logs. I
would love for you to press more on that. I
think that if we find out who's at the house,
how often Biden's at the house, you know, and all
the things that SAKI and KJP and them saying wherever
the president is he's working, which you know, I call

(22:27):
bs on that. But moving on, you know, I don't
think that Biden's because now they're they're claiming just the opposite.
Now that's what makes that comment very very interesting. For
the longest time, the Biden administration was saying no, no, no, uh,
this is a working environment at his house. Then we
find out that, in fact, while they said it was

(22:49):
jus for official business, now they're saying it was only
for personal business, that he didn't do any work there.
So they've contradicted themselves on it. That's why it's a
bigger issue today to me. But I also think, you know,
if we look back, right, for example, if we look
you were saying, you know about the forty nine thousand
dollars in rent, right and just a very odd number
of it being nine hundred and ten bucks. And just

(23:10):
you know who, where in Wilmington, Delaware? Is there a
property that we're renting for fifty fifty thousand dollars a month?
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, listen, if it
was in Palm Beach, for example, I have I you know,
may I look at real estate constantly just because I
like the real estate business. And you know, how much
like a mansion as goes for in Palm Beach on

(23:33):
the ocean one hundred and fifty million dollars? You how
much Marlago's worth? Oh my gosh, I have no idea
how much is it worth. I probably a billion. Jeez,
that's a lot insane. Know. You got this one big
hedge fund guy. I think his name is Ken Griffin.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that. So he
bought He walked up to five separate homes on the

(23:56):
ocean in Palm Beach, knocked on the door, so I
don't want to buy your and he offered them an
seen amount of money for the five homes. I believe
he paid over five hundred million. And this is going
back a couple of years. He's gonna demo, demo all
those homes and rebuild a home for himself. And I
believe his mother I read somewhere. But by the way,
if it mean that's a that's gonna be a billion

(24:18):
dollar property, that's insane. Now, if he was gonna rent
that home, I would imagine he'd probably get a million
dollars a month or some insane number, right right, But again,
that's the Delaware. That's an ocean fruit property in Florida.
We're talking about Wilmington, Delaware. You got roholdi Beach. I mean,
I'm not saying it's not nice, but it's not. It's
not Florida by any stretch. It's not it's not Malibu,

(24:40):
it's not Silicon Valley. It's it's Palm Beach. It's not Delaware, Delaware.
And by and Hunter apparently just lived in his own
room and used the kitchen. You don't need a lot
of space to cook and take crack. You know, you
need a kitchen to cook it. You need a room
to take it in. You know, my man was keeping
it very clean and easy, you know. And and you
only need one room. You can do the crack and

(25:02):
have a hooker in the same room. You see that.
Now you're multi task and you know you're thinking outside
the box. You know, I got a multi purpose facility here.
You know. This room's for that. This rooms for that.
And I'm good one and done. I'm good one and done.
Back to our original purpose. You don't. You don't have
to agree with me to get on. Disagree with me. Listen,

(25:25):
I never agree with you, and I work here, so
this should be you know, full fledged. You know not
true that you most you usually do agree with me.
I agree with you a lot. Now you disagree with
me on some things, you go crazy on other things. First, well,
I think crazy is a very strong word. That's an
adjective I would not apply Ethan. I'll let you be
the arbitor. Ethan's never going to be the arbitor. Are

(25:45):
you insane? I am Switzerland, Yeah, Switzerland. But you know why?
Because he doesn't like mommy and daddy different. That's right,
forget about it. He's not getting enough fight. Uh yeah.
But but you know what, we can have a difference
of opinion. At the end of the day. I'm like,
I heard enough of this, move on, let's go. And
you feel the same with me. I can't convince him,

(26:07):
forget it. He's got his own views. I think you
and I end up in the same spot. How we
get there sometimes it's a little bit different, you know
what I mean. It's kind of like when you're choosing
a place to go to school. You know, am I
gonna go to Hillsdale? Am I gonna go to Brown?
Am I gonna go to g W And everybody's got
an opinion about where they want to go. I love
all these critics, though there are people that there are
critical of me. The funniest thing to me are these

(26:27):
people that want to be the super Maga people. They
want to I'm more maga than and you're a maga.
I'm no, I'm a super super duper magat. They're almost
like liberals. I hate Trump, No, I double hate Trump, No,
I triple hay try quadruple hey Trump, And it's like
they're all trying to outdo each other. If you go
back to twenty fifteen and sixteen, I don't remember these

(26:48):
people anywhere to be found, you know, or even during
the you know, Russia hoax. You know, we were the
ones that were breaking down that story every night, and
so many other conservatives were silent, you know, just like
they're an impeachment the real quid pro quo. We were
the ones focused on that, you know, and then people
attack me, You're not supporting Trump enough, or they said

(27:09):
the New York Times is claiming you don't support Trump,
or whatever lie they're telling on any given day. It's amazing,
you know, the short sightedness and the circular firing squad
mentality that exists amongst conservatives. But you know what's interesting,
I'm gonna give you a funny I'm gonna give you
a funny anecdote to think about the same people who

(27:30):
are flipping the script and acting like they were telling
a different story five years ago. Are the same people
who are online saying, well, you said this and you
said that, and I can bring it up. For some reason,
the ability to recall all things they said seems to
be lost. Nobody can remember anything. But when it comes
to tracking down their enemies, they're able to point out

(27:50):
every single thing they ever said. They've got their entire
lives online, they've got them recorded, they can pull it
all off. I'm like, I'm sorry, could you get the
mirror out? Because there's literally nobody worse than you. You know,
that whole pot cattle thing is lost on these people,
and they're so extreme. There's just no conversation. Oh you know,
there are some people that I mean absolutely went bonkers

(28:11):
on certain issues, and if I don't go down the
same road as them, that's it. Hannity's a sellout. I'm like,
oh my gosh, Yeah, everybody's a sellout. Unless they thought
of it first, then it's a great idea. Or if
I don't agree with them, you know, I mean, that's
another problem they have. I don't agree with them, so
full circle. If you don't agree with Sean call in

(28:33):
today and be the last call and be able to
articulate a disagreement, and we'll put you on TV and
it'll be a lot of fun. All right, Marcus in
New York, Mark, how are you glad you hung in there?
What's on your mind today? Hey? I just wanted to
say that something doesn't get a lot of presses, that
there's still places that are making COVID patients to die
completely alone. No family, you know, visitors, no nothing. I
lost my dad about a year and a month ago,

(28:55):
and I found them unresponsive. I called an ambulance. I
didn't really think I was going to see him after that.
Not the South callous, but he wasn't the healthiest guy
on earth. I get to the hospital, they tell me, hey,
he's talking, he's alert. I said, that's incredible. Can I
see him? They said, no, you can't see him go
along with a few other things. He has COVID. I said, okay,
how does this work? They said, when the time comes.
If the time comes, we'll give you fifteen minutes to

(29:15):
say goodbye. And I said, wow, that's a little barbaric
in its own right, But okay, I bring him his
cell phone. They say, no, you can't see him. He
says he wants his iPad. The next day, I'd bring
his iPad. They say, no, you can't see him. They said,
we'll let you know when the time is right. Okay.
So on the fourth day, I get a phone call,
come see your dad, use your fifteen minutes, say said, ah,
while okay. So I'm driving to the hospital. I'm thinking

(29:37):
the speech I'm gonna give my father about the man
he was what he meant to me. I get to
the hospital. They won't let me up security. He says
he can't go up there. It's COVID. I said, I
just got a phone call. Man, come on, all right.
They let me up. I get up there and I
realize it's over. He's toast. I'm not going to be
saying goodbye my father. He's in a glass cage, no handles,
no nothing, no way to get inside, about twenty feet
away from me. He can't even see me. And I'm like,

(29:59):
what has happened here? I thought you people said I
was going to be able to say goodbye to my father,
Like this is unbelievable to the same man that was
talking texting just two days earlier. They refused to let
me up there, so they said, Oh, he want us
to spin the bed so he can see you. And
I'm like, of course, I'm like, what is happening right now?
This can't be real. So they spin the bed and
I'm trying to make like an eye, like I love

(30:20):
you with my hands, and finally he sees me and
it's over. He flips out, The machines go berserk, He
tries ripping his mask off, he tries to getting out
of bed, and basically just collapses in pain. And that
is the last image I have of my father. Because
they refused to let us up there. My brother, we
told them he'll need time because he works in New
York City. They never even called him. I had to

(30:43):
call my brother and say, you're never going to see dad.
Don't even bother thinking about what to say goodbye? And
I want to say my father's name was Gary Vitro.
He was a good, honest, decent man, and him and
the hundreds of thousands of other people deserve better than
the government to just put their life out like an
old cigarette. But loved your dad, and I hope you
forgetting for what happens. You didn't kind of just I

(31:04):
gotta step in here. You're a great son. You did
nothing wrong. You fought the good fight to get to
see him. Uh, they're wrong in their policy. Uh this
is this is just completely outrageous and unacceptable. Um, just
like forcing you know, mandates on people the way they have,

(31:24):
even young children, without any science behind it. You have
every right to be disgusted. But you did nothing wrong.
And I know it's a tragedy. I your dad. I'm
sure it is in a better place, and I just
want your heart not to be troubled. You did nothing wrong.
You fought to see your father. The bureaucrats wouldn't let you.

(31:46):
I admire your fight, and I'm so sorry you lost
your dad. It sucks and it should never be like
that ever ever. I know people the same thing happened
to them. It's horrible. You're in my prayers, my friend,
God bless you more. Okay, all right, Hannity nine Eastern
