Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up next our final News round Up and Information
Overload Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, News round Up in Information Overload Hour this Friday,
toll free. Let me give you our number. It is
eight hundred and ninety four to one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, I see
most of you want to talk about last night's debate,
which I've got to be honest, I had a great
time with. We'll get to our friend Joe Kanca, who
by far is the best media journalist in the country
(00:27):
and the fairest and the only one that's not part
of the you know X you know blue check mark
Twitter cult, which is like basically a bunch of media.
I'll follow you if you follow me, I'll retweet you
if you retweet me. And it's all, you know, basically
a bunch of mind numb mob media folks that all
(00:48):
think the same. Joe actually usually has a contrarian point
of view, which makes him stand out so much. Let
me play a couple of cuts from last night. This
is Gavin Newsome and Rondo Santus debating the issue of
taxes UH and debating the issue of closures during COVID.
And then the next one, which I really tried to
(01:10):
pin Gavin down on the issue of supporting a ban
or where would he support any law restricting abortion, and
he just didn't really want to answer and ended with
the decision should be up to the mother and her doctor,
which means no restrictions.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Listen, California has lower taxes, lower than thirty two states
for working families in the middle class, significantly lower taxes
in places that's life Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Do you support a six percent income tax people.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'm going to progressive taxes that advantage billionaires and millionaires
over working families and the working poor. People in his
state paid more taxes in the low end than we
tax people on.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
How does that.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Seven dollars dollar and there's some gas help working people.
That doesn't help working people at all. How does paying
an eight percent sales tax help working people? That doesn't
help working people at all. They have the highest taxes
in the nation. People flee to be able to save
money to get out of California, and you have working
class people that move to these other states their dollars
(02:13):
go much further. But here's the thing. They want to
take this Biden onmics and they want to double down
on this for the next four years. How many people
are able to afford groceries now compared to what you
were doing three or four years ago. I talked to people,
you know, I talked to a woman who had a
car full of groceries going in and they're ringing it up,
and it got to be so expensive. She has to
(02:34):
take a lot of this stuff out. That didn't used
to be the case. People used to be able to
work hard and get ahead. That is not true under
Joe Biden. And you know, when I have people that
come to Florida, they tell me, you know, you guys
actually want us to succeed in Florida, and they feel
like when they're in California, they don't want business to.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Succeed in the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, actually, yeah, I think that's an interesting point with Disney,
because I had Disney opened during COVID, and we made
them a fortune, and we saved a lot of jobs.
You had Disney closed inexplicably for over a year. If
you were not following science, you were a lockdown governor.
You did a lot of damage to your people. You
had more kids locked out of school for a longer
(03:16):
period of time in California than anywhere else in the country.
It was the working class kids, it was the middle
income kids. His kids were in private school, they were
in class in.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
The teachers union.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You're going to be as owned by the teachers union.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
You will never cross the teacher.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This is just a lot of hot locks. And let's
talk about COVID. Let's talk about your wreckund on COVID.
You passed an emergency declaration before the state of California.
Did you closed down your beach as, your bars, your restaurants.
It's a fact you had quarantines. You had quarantines. You
had checkpoints all over the state of College of Florida.
By the way, I didn't say that Donald Trump laid
you out on this dead to right.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
You did that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You followed science, You followed fouction. He followed science, He
followed about you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
You were hold on. You were promoting vaccines.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You were promoting vaccines. You even wore a.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Mask in It's if it's okay with you, we'll.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do Why do we do this in a way where
we both can have Why on the issue of the
extreme exception that you highlight as it relates to the
issue of later term abortion, it's almost always because of
a fetal anomaly the life of the mother, and in
those rare cases, I trust and answer your question, I
(04:31):
trust the mother and her doctor to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
In other words, I want to be clear on this.
If a woman and her doctor for any reason, for
any reason, no, no, I know where you guys are going. Sean,
you're even with this whole issue.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And I watched your This is where you guys have
to cover for the good dream abortion agenda of Ronda.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Should there be would you support a ban on abortion?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Just in seven eighth and ninth month, I just answer
those if the mother's life and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Extreame extreme exception, people aren't going on and having abortion.
Something be up to the mother and her doctor and
her conscious and it all answer.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've already answered it by joining us now with his analysis,
author of the bestseller Come on Man Anyway. Fox News
contributor uh Joe and media media, I don't know what
do you say, media monitor?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I mean you're not like any of the other media guys.
Look at the two did you see the two.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Books that came out on Fox that neither one of
them in their debut week sold four thousand, Humpty dumpties
being an absolute disaster.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Did you see that?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
It is amazing that the aforementioned former CNN media correspondent,
he was on multiple networks primetime shows. They threw a
book party for him where everybody shows up against all
this hype and he is an even we're only two
weeks removed from what his came out. Sean, he's not
even the top one thousand rankings at this point.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh, he was at like last week, like seven thousand.
I mean, I'm like, wow, that is so beyond embarrassing.
I don't I think I'd literally put my head in
the sand and never take it out again.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
It's been a tough go for uh mister Stelter at
this point because obviously getting fired from CNN, Harvard hired
him to be a professor along with Bill Deblasio and
Laurie Lightfoot, so scratched that off. As far as what
schools my kids are going to, We're going down south.
I want the warm weather in the SEC football anyway,
But imagine this, you lose to this job and he
writes this book about Fox that has complete and total
(06:40):
fabrications in them based on sources that I doubt even exist,
and it goes to his credibility when you can't even
break the top one hundred with all those TV appearances
they did to promote the book. That tells you that
people aren't buying what he's selling me.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I mean, and you're right. I mean, he was all
over the media. Print media seemed to love it because
it's an anti Fox book, just like they love Michael wolfbook.
You know, I never read these books. I just people
will send me a picture of a page or an
excerpt that has something to do with me, and I'll
peruse it and just throw it in the garbage. I'm like,
(07:13):
none of this is true. I'm like, they just print
this stuff or make this stuff up. It's pretty amazing. Listen,
I just want you to be blunt. I don't care
what the grade is. What did you think of the debate?
I love your thoughts. It rated very well last night,
and I'm happy about that part of it, especially up
against the Cowboys that had a great game down to
(07:33):
the wire and the finale of the Golden Bachelor that's
been raiding through the roof, so you know, we were
up against pretty stiff competition, so I'm really happy with
how it came out, But it's not why I do this.
I do it because I love my country and I
think this is an important discussion for the country, and
that was my real motivation from the get go.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
This was unprecedented, This was history. We have not seen
two governors from major states, one of which is not
even at least officially a presidential candidate in Gavin Newsom.
And you see a debate like this that was based
on policy, based on data, the things that are important
to people in California, Florida and the rest of the country,
boiling down to one simple question. Do you want this country,
(08:17):
the United States of America, to look like California or
do you want it to look like Florida? And what
I was telling Dana Perino earlier when we were discussing
the debate and everything that went on, I just wish
I could see this more, that it sets some sort
of precedent where I could have Glenn Youngkin Republican Virginia
governor taking on Gretcha Whitmer, Democrat Michigan, or Brian Kemp
(08:39):
Georgia Republican taking on JB. Pritzker over an Illinois Democrat.
Wouldn't it be great if this became a regular thing,
like town halls would become a regular thing. But Davin Newsom,
this is where I give him credit. He has the
moxie and the ego and the confidence to do a
debate like this that almost no other Democratic governor would
even think of doing because they're don't have the facts
(09:00):
on their side. And that's what I came away with.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
All right, quick break bore with Joe Contra on the
other side. Eight hundred and nine four one Shawn our number.
This Friday. We'll get to your calls as we continue
straight ahead. Eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn our number. Hey,
want to remind you about Mantis X. AMMO is expensive.
It's in short supply. You may not know you can
train without ammunition at your house using Mantis X. As
a matter of fact, all the best shooters in the world,
(09:24):
they do the majority of their training what's called dry
fire practice right in their own home. The Mantis X
Firearms Training System. It is no ammo, all electronic way
to practice improve your shooting accuracy, and it's real simple.
You attach it to your firearm like a weapon light.
It's that simple. You connect it to your phone, you're
good to go. You get data driven, real time feedback
(09:45):
on your technique. They'll guide you through drills and courses.
Ninety four percent of shooters improved within twenty minutes of
using mantas X. Probably the most improved ever is Linda.
He started on a scale of one to one hundred
at a nine. I mean that's it's like aiming at
a barn and missing it a big barn.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Now what do I do to that barn? That that barn?
You know, I thought that barn a lesson, a very
good lesson, and.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think that with an electronic gun, I love that.
But honestly, you've improved because you've also worked at it.
But anyway, it's used by the Marine Corps, the Army,
Special Forces, military grade technology, best part, affordable price. Go
to their website. You're gonna love this technology and it's
a lot of fun. Mantisx dot com. That's m A

N T I s X dot com. As we continue
this Friday, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
He's not a great golfer.

He's a mediocre tennis player, but he's pretty good.

On the radio.

saved and preserved video and photos of them that I
could pass on to future generations. What I wouldn't pay
to hear their voices once again? If you've lost loved ones, well,
Legacy Box preserves that in perpetuity. It's their best sale

consciers with US Spots News contributor and author of the
(11:59):
bestseller Come Out.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The way I approached this show was very simple, and
I told each side how I would approach it. I
wasn't I was very transparent. I said, it's going to
be the fundamentals. I want this to be about a
debate about the issues that impact the people in their
respective states.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
But it's but it's also every state.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I think people forget that you know, state laws, state regulations,
you know state policy, local government, state government. It can
have a much greater impact on our day to day
lives than anything that happens in Washington, d C. That that,
to me, is why it was important. Now, whether we
were talking about COVID policy, or immigration policy, or economic
(12:46):
policy or taxation, you know, I can I can run
the gamut here every single one of those issues we
would we were delving into.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Now, I did.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The amount of work in fact checking that went into
that debate was so intense. I can't even describe it
to you, because I knew if I got one thing wrong,
I'd get hammered. The only thing I've gotten hammered on
is the fact that I brought up the truth. They're
not questioning the facts that I put on the screen
because I felt I had a duty to my audience
(13:19):
as always to get the facts right, and we did,
and no one's complaining about that, you know, just hearing
some whining and complaining from people on the left, I
think because maybe they didn't feel that the facts were
on Gavin's.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Side, and Gavin didn't exactly tell the truth throughout this debate.
I mean, he said, and I'm quoting here quote, it's
a factual lie that the state of California has the
highest tax rates. It's like, well, no, you go by
the Tax Foundation and it shows that California is among
the very highest in terms of taxation. In Florida's among
the lowest. Obviously, they don't have a state income tax,
(13:53):
so probably more people who want to live in a
state like that than California were thirteen point three percent.
So when he said that, I just kind of shook
my head and said, oh my goodness, I mean, you
can't possibly believe that. But when he accused DeSantis of
being a quote lockdown governor and claimed that DeSantis kept
the stake closed too long. I remember the media coverage
of DeSantis when he reopened beaches and businesses and he
(14:15):
was getting killed for it. There was literally a guy
walking around on CNN dressed as a grim reaper accusing
the Santas of killing people for reopening businesses. Turns out
he was right. Well, California as recently as twenty twenty two,
just last year, still had a mass mandate in place
that Gavin Newsom did not follow with the French laundry restaurant,
did not follow with the Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
So when he said those things again, data an argument
(14:40):
was on Desantas's side, and obviously I think a lot
of people probably came away with this and said, yeah,
I'd rather my country resemble Florida a lot more than
California based on economy, in crime and education, immigration a big,
big component there as well, and all the other things
that were talked about. But it was focused on policy
and it wasn't the food fight that I think some
(15:00):
people were hoping for. Yeah, they got a little personal
at times, but it was it was certainly civilized, and
I commend both meant for that.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I look, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think that more of this rather than less would
be a good thing. Anything that you saw that or
maybe you wanted to see that you didn't see anything.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I didn't. Let me think about that. Anything I saw that,
I anything I wanted to see that I didn't see.
All the topics were solid because you look at gallup
and what's most important to voters in terms of priorities,
and you covered the top seven. So I can't say
that didn't happen. I wish it could have gotten longer.
Quite frankly, I.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Know it almost did.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Really well. It's missus Newsom stopped the debate. I keep
reading that, but I'm not I want to see if
you could confirm that or not.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm only going to say somebody came in and was
very vocal. I don't know who it was. I didn't
see it. So I've read what you have read. I listen.
I'll be honest, lovely, lovely, you know first person I
think they call her in California. I want to get
it right. I don't want to get I want to
I want to say it the right way.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Oh God, but uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean but whatever, she's a great mom, great person,
wonderful family.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I thought it was interesting when Ron DeSantis said, yeah,
you're you're in your in laws live with my state.
They left your state to live in mind and donated
to his campaign.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I'm like, whoa, yeah, that was the thinger. The poop
map obviously was very telling given the homeless poverty situation
in San Francisco. So sometimes you walk away with debates
from debates, I should say, and you have one or
two lines that really stick out, right, Obviously Lloyd Benson
with Dan Quayle, you know you're you're no John F. Kennedy, right,
Or obviously Reagan uh with with Mondale saying he's not
(16:47):
going to allow his opponent's age to dictate. You're in
an experience, I believe is what he said, Uh, you know,
decides what's going to happen. And obviously here I think
the poop map, certainly that's the image that you see
the most. But here's my fear sean that next year
we may not have any general election debates between the
GOP nominee who looks like it's going to be Trump
(17:08):
and Joe Biden, because the RNC is already saying we
don't want to do any debates that are handled by
the current Commission on Presidential Debates. And then I could
totally see Biden doing this that Trump is beneath him,
and it's beneath the presidency to allow Donald Trump to
have such a stage with Joe Biden, and I could
see him backing out the same way Katie Hobbs backed
out against Kerry Lake. And that's my fear that debates
(17:30):
are going to become more of the exception than the norm,
and we can't have enough debates in this country.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
In my opinion, I kind of agree with you, and
even of times that they get a little messy or
loud or interruptive if I let the people decide what
they want to see. But clearly there was interested in
it anyway. Joe, we always love having you. Joe Concha,
author bestseller Come on Man. Fox News contributed Joe, thanks
for being with us. Have a great weekend, you too, sir,
have a good one eight hundred nine to four one
(17:56):
sewn our number if you want to be a part
of the All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Oh man, we got so much to get to Long Island,
New York Christine his next Sean Hannity Show, Hey Christine,
how are you?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Son? Last night's de date was terrific. I couldn't have
enjoyed it better. I'm glad you didn't go the extra time.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
But it was good.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
How was it? You had had enough by that point?
That's funny.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
It definitely had enough with Newsome interrupting. That's why I'm
only giving you an A, not an A plus, because
I think you should have hit his microphone. He was
interrupting way, way, way too much.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Because I promise you I tried my best. I really did.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
I know I saw that, but he you know, because
that's he was interrupting because he didn't have a point.
So that's what you do when you don't have points,
you talk. You know, they were, they were talking over
each other. That happened in every debate. I think the
Santas did very well. I still think that about an
issue at six weeks is gonna kill them. I it's
(19:05):
I think it's a huge issue, not for me, but
you know it's a huge issue for other people. And
you say it six weeks, and you know women don't
even know they're pregnant at six weeks, so the Democrats
use that as a talking point and they lump all
Republicans into what DeSantis is saying. You know, so probably
(19:28):
on that hard hitting news show as you call it.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
The hard hitting news show, the View on ABC.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Look, you know where I stand on my belief I'm
pro life. Now I'm speaking, and I've always said abortion
is a hard issue, and that's that's why I'm so
glad to a partner with preborn and I put my
money where my mouth is. I've I've purchased some of
these four D ultrasound machines because they're using the science
of for D ultrasound and that they give for free
(19:56):
to any expecting mom and people are choosing life when
they are in introduced to the miracle of birth inside them. So,
but with that said, putting all of my views aside,
and I look up this, I look at this objectively politically.
The country is not where where you are and where
I might be.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
They're just not no.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
And that's what scared you know, That's what it is
about this answers. She's never gonna win with six weeks.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
He's just not.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
And when one Republican says something like I said before,
we all get lumped into that. So the Democrats use
it as a talking point. So that and also the
other issue was the other santus spanishue was oh the
books when you know the book bands, and everyone says
(20:49):
that the Santis is a homophobe. He doesn't like trans
people and everything else. No, he just didn't want trans
people reading to kindergartener. That's you know.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
The It was K through third grade.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And I read the statute on the show last night,
the so called don't Say Gay bill that doesn't even
have the word gay in it, and all talked about
was sexual. All talked about was age appropriate materials for
kids through K through third grade. And then I read
some of the books quote that had been banned that
the left talks about, and they do not belong in
(21:24):
schools for our kids, especially when in many many states
and districts, although Florida is ranked number one by US
News and World Report, and they educate their kids a
lot cheap, more cheaply than in California. I will tell
you it is people need to understand the issue. Let's
focus on reading, writing, math, science, history, computers. I think
(21:47):
we'd be better off. Let the parents, let religious institutions
instill the values that the parents want, not have their
values contradicted by you know, some bureaucrat in a public
school system.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
We'll lose. Some's answer to that was they're not in
the curriculum. So that was his answer, that those books
aren't part of the curriculum. But that doesn't matter if
they're in the libraries. So, you know, Newsom's answers to everything,
even the border. I mean, you could you were trying
the best to get an answer out of him about
(22:21):
the border. He didn't answer whether the border was open
or not. He just launched into how the Republicans won't
sign Biden's legislation, which I don't even know about what
Biden proposed.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, toy, you proposed three it's and this is
Gavin's answer every time he said, well, I want immigration
comprehensive immigration reform, and I'm like, okay, that's great. It's
not happening. Jill can't get it done, and it's not
going to happen this year. And in the meantime, we
have open borders. What do you do in the interim
to solve that problem? And you know, it's a nice
talking point as all these unvetted illegal immigrants keep coming
(22:57):
into our country, and as I pointed out, from China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt,
everyone needs to be vetted. If you're in the middle
of a pandemic, you need a health check. And frankly,
with thirty four trillion dollars in debt, we also need
people to show that they'll be able to take care
of themselves and not be a burden on the American taxpayer.
(23:21):
Those would be my conditions for people to come into
the country. Anyway, good call, I appreciated, Christine. God bless
you have a great weekend on Long Island. Eight hundred
and ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program, Andy is in the great
state of California.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Oh maybe onece great state. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Thanks Sean. Yeah, my wife and I watched the debate
last night as well, and you did a great job.
But on the alternative we were screaming at the TV
how much lies spew out of Gavin News. And I've
been in California. I'm sixty three years old, got here
when I'm four years old in Colorado, and we've seen
our state just deteriorate. It's a joke when he says
(23:59):
things about our crime fifty percent less all. And I'm
in an oil business as well. I'm surrounded by oil fields.
People don't know the California Baker show. California is one
of the biggest oil fields in the country. We produced
a lot of oil at one time, and all our
oil fields are dying out here. He's not letting us drill. Well,
we have thousands of littly jobs. And I've been in
(24:22):
some oil fields since I was right out of high
school seventeen and a half years old, fifty three years old.
I made a great living. I see a lot one
hundred thousand plus dollars a year jobs just fleeing out
of California. Even the younger guys that are coming to
the oil industry are looking for playing a B and
C because they know what is on the horizon. On
(24:43):
Thatt effect on these.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
These are all high paying career jobs.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And we could be the most energy dominant country on
the face of the earth. That would make us the
most energy rich country on the face of the earth.
We could pay off our debt, not burden our children
and grandchildren. Eight jobs and it impacts on national security
by not relying on foreign countries.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
It's unreal.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I mean, you're laying it out perfectly, but they keep
putting restrictions on your industry to make it impossible.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Drilling is my.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Biggest customer now is in Texas because the majority of
the engineers and the foremans that have left California based
on our political environment are moving to Texas. I go
to the Permian Basin and I see it. It looks
in the Permian Basin like Bakersfield used to look like
back in the seventies, eighties and nineties. Work equipment everywhere,
(25:37):
everybody making a good living. Bakersfield is a very well,
used to be a very conservative town. Obviously, with the
open borders, we're losing that that stronghold. But we just
see the deterioration of our own town. We're surrounded by
oil and agricultural. Agriculture and oil industries dying. A matter
of fact, when the plants I'm going to right now
(25:58):
to need some customers, it's called a d high where
they separate oil and water. They were ten years ago
they were pumping seventy three thousand barrels a day on
that one plant and selling it, and now it's twenty
three thousand barrels a day. So and so that even
that oil company, all the major producers left well are
leaving or on a track to get out of here,
(26:20):
and all the employees are leaving. It's just sad. And
you show up on the last night you showed our
California average oil is what for eighty five a gallon?
That's not correct. I just paid six dollars yesterday, so.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, I can go with the state average. It's put out,
but I have to source everything. I was out there
and I saw gasa's high as seven bucks ago. And listen,
you Megan, great points, Andy, I can't dispute it.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I hope people hear you.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
We can go in the opposite direction that means winning
next November. Have a great weekend. Appreciate the call. Julie
in Austin, Texas. Hey Julie, how are you.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Good?
Speaker 8 (26:57):
Well?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
First, I wanted to tell you that when I live
in Atlanta in the mid nineties, your radio show helped
to reshape my political philosophy. Wow, wurse, I always loved
hearing stories about snowball.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Your be shot.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh I missed my little snowball that was my first
dog ever, and ever since I was a little kid,
I'd always wanted a dog.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Snowball was a little terror, though.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I mean I had to be careful with Snowball because
she liked the bites a few people, kind of like
Joe Biden's dog, But unlike Joe, I actually protected everybody
from her.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
Well, regarding the debates, I think your first fact based
blue state to red state, my grace and migration question
was pretty much epitomized the rest of the debate. I means,
obviously we've always heard from many of the callers and
all the pundits. Today the newsong did not answer any
of the questions directly. I mean you even asked them
(27:55):
twice three times. You can't make anybody answer question if
they don't want to. And turning off the mic, you know,
I said the same thing, turn off the mic. But
if you do that then it makes you look bad.
So you have to play that, you know, that kind
of that balancing act, which you did very very well.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But listen, I tried my best. I really I did
not want to be a hall monitor. But if somebody
ask a question and somebody just goes off on an
entirely different tangent. I try to rain them back in,
give them another chance to answer. At that point, you
just know they're not going to answer.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Well, what I loved about that first question was, yes,
it showed his true stripes, saying, I mean he already
was spewing lies about you know, California, more more Floridians
migrated to California, then California moved to Florida, and you
actually had the stats on the screen, and it doesn't
make any difference if he lies or not. And apparently
(28:51):
half the country doesn't care about facts either, and that's
the sad thing. You know, We've we've heard it over
and over on people putting out staff and they they
don't care, and they don't care about all the lies
that are coming out from the administration. But what I
liked about the first question also was it teed ups
the Santus for one of his kind of priceless moments
(29:13):
on that interview with Newsom's father in law. That is
a memorable moment, and I think that kind of teed
it up for that.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Was an ouch moment for sure, right.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Yes, yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I mean, well, the numbers were the numbers in those
two years that I used twenty twenty one twenty two,
California lost seven hundred and fifty thousand in terms of
a mass exodus out of the state, never happened before
in the history of California, and the state of Florida
had a net gain of just shy at four hundred
(29:47):
and fifty four thousand total. Now, and by the way,
I didn't make them up. Those are Census Bureau numbers.
So now we got We worked hard to verify, fact
check every single thing that we put up on the screen,
every question we asked and gave them an opportunity to
answer it.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I don't know, how do you explain that?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And then you get into the next issue I think
was taxes, and then you get into the issue of
gas prices, then you get into the issue of homelessness
and crime and guns and education. Look, I stayed with
the fundamentals. The facts were the facts. And even the
Wall Street Journal this week, you know, they did an editorial.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Pointing out, here are the facts.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
And it's my job to ask fact based questions on
issues that I think mattered the most of people in
their respective states, but also around the country. So I
think the people are very smart that watch this debate
and they'll understand it, and the people that will be
watching it because it's re airing.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I think all the weekend on Fox.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
One last thing. Rumor has it, and I don't know
if you can you can talk about this, but rumor
has it that during the last commercial break with both
the Santis and Newsom, when they agreed to keep going,
Newsom's wife came on stage and said, no more kind
of throwing down the white flag.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I know somebody came in and said something. I don't
know who it was. I've read what you have read.
I did not see it. She was very nice when
I met her. I have nothing bad to say about her.
I just kind of chalked it up to they shook hands.
They both shook my hand, the governor thanked me, and
(31:30):
I just kind of chalked it up to they seem
to have other commitments that they had to get to.
I did go five minutes over the schedule time, didn't
mean to if you're looking for the total time. Actually,
Governor Newsom got about a minute and a half two
minutes more time than Ron DeSantis. I tried my best
to keep it equal but so I don't know who
it was. I definitely heard somebody say we're done. I
(31:52):
did hear that. I don't know who it was, though,
but that's irrelevant to me. Let the debates stand on
its own. But anyway, I do appreciate you call. Thank
you so much for being out there, Julie, thank you.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (32:02):

Fox News at nine, thank you for being with us,
Thank you for making this show possible. Have a great weekend.
Back here Monday,
Coming up next our final News round Up and Information
Overload Hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, News round Up in Information Overload Hour this Friday,
toll free. Let me give you our number. It is
eight hundred and ninety four to one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, I see
most of you want to talk about last night's debate,
which I've got to be honest, I had a great
time with. We'll get to our friend Joe Kanca, who
by far is the best media journalist in the country
(00:27):
and the fairest and the only one that's not part
of the you know X you know blue check mark
Twitter cult, which is like basically a bunch of media.
I'll follow you if you follow me, I'll retweet you
if you retweet me. And it's all, you know, basically
a bunch of mind numb mob media folks that all
(00:48):
think the same. Joe actually usually has a contrarian point
of view, which makes him stand out so much. Let
me play a couple of cuts from last night. This
is Gavin Newsome and Rondo Santus debating the issue of
taxes UH and debating the issue of closures during COVID.
And then the next one, which I really tried to
(01:10):
pin Gavin down on the issue of supporting a ban
or where would he support any law restricting abortion, and
he just didn't really want to answer and ended with
the decision should be up to the mother and her doctor,
which means no restrictions.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Listen, California has lower taxes, lower than thirty two states
for working families in the middle class, significantly lower taxes
in places that's life Texas.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Do you support a six percent income tax people.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'm going to progressive taxes that advantage billionaires and millionaires
over working families and the working poor. People in his
state paid more taxes in the low end than we
tax people on.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
How does that.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Seven dollars dollar and there's some gas help working people.
That doesn't help working people at all. How does paying
an eight percent sales tax help working people? That doesn't
help working people at all. They have the highest taxes
in the nation. People flee to be able to save
money to get out of California, and you have working
class people that move to these other states their dollars
(02:13):
go much further. But here's the thing. They want to
take this Biden onmics and they want to double down
on this for the next four years. How many people
are able to afford groceries now compared to what you
were doing three or four years ago. I talked to people,
you know, I talked to a woman who had a
car full of groceries going in and they're ringing it up,
and it got to be so expensive. She has to
(02:34):
take a lot of this stuff out. That didn't used
to be the case. People used to be able to
work hard and get ahead. That is not true under
Joe Biden. And you know, when I have people that
come to Florida, they tell me, you know, you guys
actually want us to succeed in Florida, and they feel
like when they're in California, they don't want business to.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Succeed in the Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, actually, yeah, I think that's an interesting point with Disney,
because I had Disney opened during COVID, and we made
them a fortune, and we saved a lot of jobs.
You had Disney closed inexplicably for over a year. If
you were not following science, you were a lockdown governor.
You did a lot of damage to your people. You
had more kids locked out of school for a longer
(03:16):
period of time in California than anywhere else in the country.
It was the working class kids, it was the middle
income kids. His kids were in private school, they were
in class in.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
The teachers union.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You're going to be as owned by the teachers union.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
You will never cross the teacher.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This is just a lot of hot locks. And let's
talk about COVID. Let's talk about your wreckund on COVID.
You passed an emergency declaration before the state of California.
Did you closed down your beach as, your bars, your restaurants.
It's a fact you had quarantines. You had quarantines. You
had checkpoints all over the state of College of Florida.
By the way, I didn't say that Donald Trump laid
you out on this dead to right.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
You did that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You followed science, You followed fouction. He followed science, He
followed about you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
You were hold on. You were promoting vaccines.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You were promoting vaccines. You even wore a.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Mask in It's if it's okay with you, we'll.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do Why do we do this in a way where
we both can have Why on the issue of the
extreme exception that you highlight as it relates to the
issue of later term abortion, it's almost always because of
a fetal anomaly the life of the mother, and in
those rare cases, I trust and answer your question, I
(04:31):
trust the mother and her doctor to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
In other words, I want to be clear on this.
If a woman and her doctor for any reason, for
any reason, no, no, I know where you guys are going. Sean,
you're even with this whole issue.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And I watched your This is where you guys have
to cover for the good dream abortion agenda of Ronda.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Should there be would you support a ban on abortion?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Just in seven eighth and ninth month, I just answer
those if the mother's life and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Extreame extreme exception, people aren't going on and having abortion.
Something be up to the mother and her doctor and
her conscious and it all answer.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've already answered it by joining us now with his analysis,
author of the bestseller Come on Man Anyway. Fox News
contributor uh Joe and media media, I don't know what
do you say, media monitor?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I mean you're not like any of the other media guys.
Look at the two did you see the two.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Books that came out on Fox that neither one of
them in their debut week sold four thousand, Humpty dumpties
being an absolute disaster.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Did you see that?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
It is amazing that the aforementioned former CNN media correspondent,
he was on multiple networks primetime shows. They threw a
book party for him where everybody shows up against all
this hype and he is an even we're only two
weeks removed from what his came out. Sean, he's not
even the top one thousand rankings at this point.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh, he was at like last week, like seven thousand.
I mean, I'm like, wow, that is so beyond embarrassing.
I don't I think I'd literally put my head in
the sand and never take it out again.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
It's been a tough go for uh mister Stelter at
this point because obviously getting fired from CNN, Harvard hired
him to be a professor along with Bill Deblasio and
Laurie Lightfoot, so scratched that off. As far as what
schools my kids are going to, We're going down south.
I want the warm weather in the SEC football anyway,
But imagine this, you lose to this job and he
writes this book about Fox that has complete and total
(06:40):
fabrications in them based on sources that I doubt even exist,
and it goes to his credibility when you can't even
break the top one hundred with all those TV appearances
they did to promote the book. That tells you that
people aren't buying what he's selling me.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I mean, and you're right. I mean, he was all
over the media. Print media seemed to love it because
it's an anti Fox book, just like they love Michael wolfbook.
You know, I never read these books. I just people
will send me a picture of a page or an
excerpt that has something to do with me, and I'll
peruse it and just throw it in the garbage. I'm like,
(07:13):
none of this is true. I'm like, they just print
this stuff or make this stuff up. It's pretty amazing. Listen,
I just want you to be blunt. I don't care
what the grade is. What did you think of the debate?
I love your thoughts. It rated very well last night,
and I'm happy about that part of it, especially up
against the Cowboys that had a great game down to
(07:33):
the wire and the finale of the Golden Bachelor that's
been raiding through the roof, so you know, we were
up against pretty stiff competition, so I'm really happy with
how it came out, But it's not why I do this.
I do it because I love my country and I
think this is an important discussion for the country, and
that was my real motivation from the get go.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
This was unprecedented, This was history. We have not seen
two governors from major states, one of which is not
even at least officially a presidential candidate in Gavin Newsom.
And you see a debate like this that was based
on policy, based on data, the things that are important
to people in California, Florida and the rest of the country,
boiling down to one simple question. Do you want this country,
(08:17):
the United States of America, to look like California or
do you want it to look like Florida? And what
I was telling Dana Perino earlier when we were discussing
the debate and everything that went on, I just wish
I could see this more, that it sets some sort
of precedent where I could have Glenn Youngkin Republican Virginia
governor taking on Gretcha Whitmer, Democrat Michigan, or Brian Kemp
(08:39):
Georgia Republican taking on JB. Pritzker over an Illinois Democrat.
Wouldn't it be great if this became a regular thing,
like town halls would become a regular thing. But Davin Newsom,
this is where I give him credit. He has the
moxie and the ego and the confidence to do a
debate like this that almost no other Democratic governor would
even think of doing because they're don't have the facts
(09:00):
on their side. And that's what I came away with.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
All right, quick break bore with Joe Contra on the
other side. Eight hundred and nine four one Shawn our number.
This Friday. We'll get to your calls as we continue
straight ahead. Eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn our number. Hey,
want to remind you about Mantis X. AMMO is expensive.
It's in short supply. You may not know you can
train without ammunition at your house using Mantis X. As
a matter of fact, all the best shooters in the world,
(09:24):
they do the majority of their training what's called dry
fire practice right in their own home. The Mantis X
Firearms Training System. It is no ammo, all electronic way
to practice improve your shooting accuracy, and it's real simple.
You attach it to your firearm like a weapon light.
It's that simple. You connect it to your phone, you're
good to go. You get data driven, real time feedback
(09:45):
on your technique. They'll guide you through drills and courses.
Ninety four percent of shooters improved within twenty minutes of
using mantas X. Probably the most improved ever is Linda.
He started on a scale of one to one hundred
at a nine. I mean that's it's like aiming at
a barn and missing it a big barn.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Now what do I do to that barn? That that barn?
You know, I thought that barn a lesson, a very
good lesson, and.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think that with an electronic gun, I love that.
But honestly, you've improved because you've also worked at it.
But anyway, it's used by the Marine Corps, the Army,
Special Forces, military grade technology, best part, affordable price. Go
to their website. You're gonna love this technology and it's
a lot of fun. Mantisx dot com. That's m A
(10:31):
N T I s X dot com. As we continue
this Friday, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
He's not a great golfer.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
He's a mediocre tennis player, but he's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
On the radio.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Sean Hannity is on right now.

And let me talk about Legacy Box for a second.
You've heard me talk about them all year long, and
with cyberwek event going on right now is the perfect

grandparents from Ireland. How I wish that we could have
saved and preserved video and photos of them that I
could pass on to future generations. What I wouldn't pay
to hear their voices once again? If you've lost loved ones, well,
Legacy Box preserves that in perpetuity. It's their best sale

consciers with US Spots News contributor and author of the
(11:59):
bestseller Come Out.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
The way I approached this show was very simple, and
I told each side how I would approach it. I
wasn't I was very transparent. I said, it's going to
be the fundamentals. I want this to be about a
debate about the issues that impact the people in their
respective states.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
But it's but it's also every state.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I think people forget that you know, state laws, state regulations,
you know state policy, local government, state government. It can
have a much greater impact on our day to day
lives than anything that happens in Washington, d C. That that,
to me, is why it was important. Now, whether we
were talking about COVID policy, or immigration policy, or economic
(12:46):
policy or taxation, you know, I can I can run
the gamut here every single one of those issues we
would we were delving into.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Now, I did.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The amount of work in fact checking that went into
that debate was so intense. I can't even describe it
to you, because I knew if I got one thing wrong,
I'd get hammered. The only thing I've gotten hammered on
is the fact that I brought up the truth. They're
not questioning the facts that I put on the screen
because I felt I had a duty to my audience
(13:19):
as always to get the facts right, and we did,
and no one's complaining about that, you know, just hearing
some whining and complaining from people on the left, I
think because maybe they didn't feel that the facts were
on Gavin's.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Side, and Gavin didn't exactly tell the truth throughout this debate.
I mean, he said, and I'm quoting here quote, it's
a factual lie that the state of California has the
highest tax rates. It's like, well, no, you go by
the Tax Foundation and it shows that California is among
the very highest in terms of taxation. In Florida's among
the lowest. Obviously, they don't have a state income tax,
(13:53):
so probably more people who want to live in a
state like that than California were thirteen point three percent.
So when he said that, I just kind of shook
my head and said, oh my goodness, I mean, you
can't possibly believe that. But when he accused DeSantis of
being a quote lockdown governor and claimed that DeSantis kept
the stake closed too long. I remember the media coverage
of DeSantis when he reopened beaches and businesses and he
(14:15):
was getting killed for it. There was literally a guy
walking around on CNN dressed as a grim reaper accusing
the Santas of killing people for reopening businesses. Turns out
he was right. Well, California as recently as twenty twenty two,
just last year, still had a mass mandate in place
that Gavin Newsom did not follow with the French laundry restaurant,
did not follow with the Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
So when he said those things again, data an argument
(14:40):
was on Desantas's side, and obviously I think a lot
of people probably came away with this and said, yeah,
I'd rather my country resemble Florida a lot more than
California based on economy, in crime and education, immigration a big,
big component there as well, and all the other things
that were talked about. But it was focused on policy
and it wasn't the food fight that I think some
(15:00):
people were hoping for. Yeah, they got a little personal
at times, but it was it was certainly civilized, and
I commend both meant for that.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I look, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think that more of this rather than less would
be a good thing. Anything that you saw that or
maybe you wanted to see that you didn't see anything.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I didn't. Let me think about that. Anything I saw that,
I anything I wanted to see that I didn't see.
All the topics were solid because you look at gallup
and what's most important to voters in terms of priorities,
and you covered the top seven. So I can't say
that didn't happen. I wish it could have gotten longer.
Quite frankly, I.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Know it almost did.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Really well. It's missus Newsom stopped the debate. I keep
reading that, but I'm not I want to see if
you could confirm that or not.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm only going to say somebody came in and was
very vocal. I don't know who it was. I didn't
see it. So I've read what you have read. I listen.
I'll be honest, lovely, lovely, you know first person I
think they call her in California. I want to get
it right. I don't want to get I want to
I want to say it the right way.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Oh God, but uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean but whatever, she's a great mom, great person,
wonderful family.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I thought it was interesting when Ron DeSantis said, yeah,
you're you're in your in laws live with my state.
They left your state to live in mind and donated
to his campaign.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I'm like, whoa, yeah, that was the thinger. The poop
map obviously was very telling given the homeless poverty situation
in San Francisco. So sometimes you walk away with debates
from debates, I should say, and you have one or
two lines that really stick out, right, Obviously Lloyd Benson
with Dan Quayle, you know you're you're no John F. Kennedy, right,
Or obviously Reagan uh with with Mondale saying he's not
(16:47):
going to allow his opponent's age to dictate. You're in
an experience, I believe is what he said, Uh, you know,
decides what's going to happen. And obviously here I think
the poop map, certainly that's the image that you see
the most. But here's my fear sean that next year
we may not have any general election debates between the
GOP nominee who looks like it's going to be Trump
(17:08):
and Joe Biden, because the RNC is already saying we
don't want to do any debates that are handled by
the current Commission on Presidential Debates. And then I could
totally see Biden doing this that Trump is beneath him,
and it's beneath the presidency to allow Donald Trump to
have such a stage with Joe Biden, and I could
see him backing out the same way Katie Hobbs backed
out against Kerry Lake. And that's my fear that debates
(17:30):
are going to become more of the exception than the norm,
and we can't have enough debates in this country.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
In my opinion, I kind of agree with you, and
even of times that they get a little messy or
loud or interruptive if I let the people decide what
they want to see. But clearly there was interested in
it anyway. Joe, we always love having you. Joe Concha,
author bestseller Come on Man. Fox News contributed Joe, thanks
for being with us. Have a great weekend, you too, sir,
have a good one eight hundred nine to four one
(17:56):
sewn our number if you want to be a part
of the All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Oh man, we got so much to get to Long Island,
New York Christine his next Sean Hannity Show, Hey Christine,
how are you?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Son? Last night's de date was terrific. I couldn't have
enjoyed it better. I'm glad you didn't go the extra time.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
But it was good.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
How was it? You had had enough by that point?
That's funny.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
It definitely had enough with Newsome interrupting. That's why I'm
only giving you an A, not an A plus, because
I think you should have hit his microphone. He was
interrupting way, way, way too much.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Because I promise you I tried my best. I really did.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
I know I saw that, but he you know, because
that's he was interrupting because he didn't have a point.
So that's what you do when you don't have points,
you talk. You know, they were, they were talking over
each other. That happened in every debate. I think the
Santas did very well. I still think that about an
issue at six weeks is gonna kill them. I it's
(19:05):
I think it's a huge issue, not for me, but
you know it's a huge issue for other people. And
you say it six weeks, and you know women don't
even know they're pregnant at six weeks, so the Democrats
use that as a talking point and they lump all
Republicans into what DeSantis is saying. You know, so probably
(19:28):
on that hard hitting news show as you call it.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
The hard hitting news show, the View on ABC.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Look, you know where I stand on my belief I'm
pro life. Now I'm speaking, and I've always said abortion
is a hard issue, and that's that's why I'm so
glad to a partner with preborn and I put my
money where my mouth is. I've I've purchased some of
these four D ultrasound machines because they're using the science
of for D ultrasound and that they give for free
(19:56):
to any expecting mom and people are choosing life when
they are in introduced to the miracle of birth inside them. So,
but with that said, putting all of my views aside,
and I look up this, I look at this objectively politically.
The country is not where where you are and where
I might be.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
They're just not no.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
And that's what scared you know, That's what it is
about this answers. She's never gonna win with six weeks.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
He's just not.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
And when one Republican says something like I said before,
we all get lumped into that. So the Democrats use
it as a talking point. So that and also the
other issue was the other santus spanishue was oh the
books when you know the book bands, and everyone says
(20:49):
that the Santis is a homophobe. He doesn't like trans
people and everything else. No, he just didn't want trans
people reading to kindergartener. That's you know.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
The It was K through third grade.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And I read the statute on the show last night,
the so called don't Say Gay bill that doesn't even
have the word gay in it, and all talked about
was sexual. All talked about was age appropriate materials for
kids through K through third grade. And then I read
some of the books quote that had been banned that
the left talks about, and they do not belong in
(21:24):
schools for our kids, especially when in many many states
and districts, although Florida is ranked number one by US
News and World Report, and they educate their kids a
lot cheap, more cheaply than in California. I will tell
you it is people need to understand the issue. Let's
focus on reading, writing, math, science, history, computers. I think
(21:47):
we'd be better off. Let the parents, let religious institutions
instill the values that the parents want, not have their
values contradicted by you know, some bureaucrat in a public
school system.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
We'll lose. Some's answer to that was they're not in
the curriculum. So that was his answer, that those books
aren't part of the curriculum. But that doesn't matter if
they're in the libraries. So, you know, Newsom's answers to everything,
even the border. I mean, you could you were trying
the best to get an answer out of him about
(22:21):
the border. He didn't answer whether the border was open
or not. He just launched into how the Republicans won't
sign Biden's legislation, which I don't even know about what
Biden proposed.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, toy, you proposed three it's and this is
Gavin's answer every time he said, well, I want immigration
comprehensive immigration reform, and I'm like, okay, that's great. It's
not happening. Jill can't get it done, and it's not
going to happen this year. And in the meantime, we
have open borders. What do you do in the interim
to solve that problem? And you know, it's a nice
talking point as all these unvetted illegal immigrants keep coming
(22:57):
into our country, and as I pointed out, from China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt,
everyone needs to be vetted. If you're in the middle
of a pandemic, you need a health check. And frankly,
with thirty four trillion dollars in debt, we also need
people to show that they'll be able to take care
of themselves and not be a burden on the American taxpayer.
(23:21):
Those would be my conditions for people to come into
the country. Anyway, good call, I appreciated, Christine. God bless
you have a great weekend on Long Island. Eight hundred
and ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program, Andy is in the great
state of California.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Oh maybe onece great state. What's going on?
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Thanks Sean. Yeah, my wife and I watched the debate
last night as well, and you did a great job.
But on the alternative we were screaming at the TV
how much lies spew out of Gavin News. And I've
been in California. I'm sixty three years old, got here
when I'm four years old in Colorado, and we've seen
our state just deteriorate. It's a joke when he says
(23:59):
things about our crime fifty percent less all. And I'm
in an oil business as well. I'm surrounded by oil fields.
People don't know the California Baker show. California is one
of the biggest oil fields in the country. We produced
a lot of oil at one time, and all our
oil fields are dying out here. He's not letting us drill. Well,
we have thousands of littly jobs. And I've been in
(24:22):
some oil fields since I was right out of high
school seventeen and a half years old, fifty three years old.
I made a great living. I see a lot one
hundred thousand plus dollars a year jobs just fleeing out
of California. Even the younger guys that are coming to
the oil industry are looking for playing a B and
C because they know what is on the horizon. On
(24:43):
Thatt effect on these.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
These are all high paying career jobs.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And we could be the most energy dominant country on
the face of the earth. That would make us the
most energy rich country on the face of the earth.
We could pay off our debt, not burden our children
and grandchildren. Eight jobs and it impacts on national security
by not relying on foreign countries.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
It's unreal.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I mean, you're laying it out perfectly, but they keep
putting restrictions on your industry to make it impossible.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Drilling is my.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Biggest customer now is in Texas because the majority of
the engineers and the foremans that have left California based
on our political environment are moving to Texas. I go
to the Permian Basin and I see it. It looks
in the Permian Basin like Bakersfield used to look like
back in the seventies, eighties and nineties. Work equipment everywhere,
(25:37):
everybody making a good living. Bakersfield is a very well,
used to be a very conservative town. Obviously, with the
open borders, we're losing that that stronghold. But we just
see the deterioration of our own town. We're surrounded by
oil and agricultural. Agriculture and oil industries dying. A matter
of fact, when the plants I'm going to right now
(25:58):
to need some customers, it's called a d high where
they separate oil and water. They were ten years ago
they were pumping seventy three thousand barrels a day on
that one plant and selling it, and now it's twenty
three thousand barrels a day. So and so that even
that oil company, all the major producers left well are
leaving or on a track to get out of here,
(26:20):
and all the employees are leaving. It's just sad. And
you show up on the last night you showed our
California average oil is what for eighty five a gallon?
That's not correct. I just paid six dollars yesterday, so.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, I can go with the state average. It's put out,
but I have to source everything. I was out there
and I saw gasa's high as seven bucks ago. And listen,
you Megan, great points, Andy, I can't dispute it.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I hope people hear you.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
We can go in the opposite direction that means winning
next November. Have a great weekend. Appreciate the call. Julie
in Austin, Texas. Hey Julie, how are you.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Good?
Speaker 8 (26:57):
Well?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
First, I wanted to tell you that when I live
in Atlanta in the mid nineties, your radio show helped
to reshape my political philosophy. Wow, wurse, I always loved
hearing stories about snowball.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Your be shot.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh I missed my little snowball that was my first
dog ever, and ever since I was a little kid,
I'd always wanted a dog.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Snowball was a little terror, though.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I mean I had to be careful with Snowball because
she liked the bites a few people, kind of like
Joe Biden's dog, But unlike Joe, I actually protected everybody
from her.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
Well, regarding the debates, I think your first fact based
blue state to red state, my grace and migration question
was pretty much epitomized the rest of the debate. I means,
obviously we've always heard from many of the callers and
all the pundits. Today the newsong did not answer any
of the questions directly. I mean you even asked them
(27:55):
twice three times. You can't make anybody answer question if
they don't want to. And turning off the mic, you know,
I said the same thing, turn off the mic. But
if you do that then it makes you look bad.
So you have to play that, you know, that kind
of that balancing act, which you did very very well.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But listen, I tried my best. I really I did
not want to be a hall monitor. But if somebody
ask a question and somebody just goes off on an
entirely different tangent. I try to rain them back in,
give them another chance to answer. At that point, you
just know they're not going to answer.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Well, what I loved about that first question was, yes,
it showed his true stripes, saying, I mean he already
was spewing lies about you know, California, more more Floridians
migrated to California, then California moved to Florida, and you
actually had the stats on the screen, and it doesn't
make any difference if he lies or not. And apparently
(28:51):
half the country doesn't care about facts either, and that's
the sad thing. You know, We've we've heard it over
and over on people putting out staff and they they
don't care, and they don't care about all the lies
that are coming out from the administration. But what I
liked about the first question also was it teed ups
the Santus for one of his kind of priceless moments
(29:13):
on that interview with Newsom's father in law. That is
a memorable moment, and I think that kind of teed
it up for that.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Was an ouch moment for sure, right.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Yes, yes, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I mean, well, the numbers were the numbers in those
two years that I used twenty twenty one twenty two,
California lost seven hundred and fifty thousand in terms of
a mass exodus out of the state, never happened before
in the history of California, and the state of Florida
had a net gain of just shy at four hundred
(29:47):
and fifty four thousand total. Now, and by the way,
I didn't make them up. Those are Census Bureau numbers.
So now we got We worked hard to verify, fact
check every single thing that we put up on the screen,
every question we asked and gave them an opportunity to
answer it.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I don't know, how do you explain that?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And then you get into the next issue I think
was taxes, and then you get into the issue of
gas prices, then you get into the issue of homelessness
and crime and guns and education. Look, I stayed with
the fundamentals. The facts were the facts. And even the
Wall Street Journal this week, you know, they did an editorial.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Pointing out, here are the facts.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
And it's my job to ask fact based questions on
issues that I think mattered the most of people in
their respective states, but also around the country. So I
think the people are very smart that watch this debate
and they'll understand it, and the people that will be
watching it because it's re airing.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I think all the weekend on Fox.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
One last thing. Rumor has it, and I don't know
if you can you can talk about this, but rumor
has it that during the last commercial break with both
the Santis and Newsom, when they agreed to keep going,
Newsom's wife came on stage and said, no more kind
of throwing down the white flag.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I know somebody came in and said something. I don't
know who it was. I've read what you have read.
I did not see it. She was very nice when
I met her. I have nothing bad to say about her.
I just kind of chalked it up to they shook hands.
They both shook my hand, the governor thanked me, and
(31:30):
I just kind of chalked it up to they seem
to have other commitments that they had to get to.
I did go five minutes over the schedule time, didn't
mean to if you're looking for the total time. Actually,
Governor Newsom got about a minute and a half two
minutes more time than Ron DeSantis. I tried my best
to keep it equal but so I don't know who
it was. I definitely heard somebody say we're done. I
(31:52):
did hear that. I don't know who it was, though,
but that's irrelevant to me. Let the debates stand on
its own. But anyway, I do appreciate you call. Thank
you so much for being out there, Julie, thank you.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
