Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, now are two this Friday on the Sean
Hannity show tull Free. It's eight hundred and nine four
one Sean. If you want to be a part of
the program or top stories we are following. Yeah, Apparently
our government is known for some days now that America
is under assault from a Chinese spying operation, with this

(00:20):
reconnaissance balloon flying over the continental United States seemingly unable
to make a decision, how about we either if we
can send guys to the moon, we either capture the balloon,
which would be my first choice, and bring it back
down to Earth. I mean, we have the ability to
send men to the moon, get out of their spaceship

(00:41):
and start walking around the moon and playing with golf balls.
So if we have and bring them home, I would
think we'd be able to get a Chinese reconnaissance balloon
out of the air. We had two Air Force F
twenty two scrambling to get this where the balloon was observed.
Can they figure out a way to get it down?

(01:02):
And if they can do that, how about we shoot
it down. This is the same Chinese government that doesn't
want a Speaker of the House to visit Taiwan. The
same ones flying their fighter aircraft all over Taiwan airspace
and they're so sensitive. And the big response is what
Tony B. Lincoln, who's useless anyway, just doesn't decides he's

(01:26):
not going to go anyway. Here to talk about. This
is the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee Chairman James Kohmer.
Now he's looking into two very specific issues. One is
the top secret classified information that has found in five
separate locations as it relates to the Bidens, and then
of course the Biden family syndicate. We've been spending a

(01:48):
lot of time talking about that and Joe Biden lying
to the American people saying not once did he ever
talked to Hunter about his foreign business dealings. We know
that to be a lie, Congressman, coma gray to have you.
And by the way, I know you fully expect to
be smeared, slandered, besmirched, attacked, you know, as this new
Biden war machine as up and running, or their war

(02:12):
room is up and running, and on all these legal
letters of flying out all over the place. But I
don't think that's going to stop you from doing your job,
am I correct? You are correct. They've been attacking me
and Jim Jordan or two months straight. It's NonStop on
their blogs, their MSNBC network, anything that has more than

(02:38):
one crazy liberal on it, they're attacking me. But that's
not gonna stop anything we're doing. I think one thing
that's Shane Sean from November when we had our press
conference run after the midterm elections announcing the Biden investigation
to today is the majority, believe it or not, of
the mainstream media recognizes that this administration has completely lied

(03:01):
about their family, shady business dealings. They're lying about these documents,
They're not being transparent with anything, and I think the
tide is finally turning with the Bidens now when you
look at the money. And I spent a great deal
of time last night going over the you know, because
we've been reaching out to the Biden folks for a

(03:21):
long time to get answers to questions and, believe it
or not, you know, dozens of times and we have
been denied every single time any comment as it relates
to Joe Biden. Now, I went in great specificity, in
great detail about what happened yesterday, letters here, there, everywhere,
with the DOJ, the IRS, media outlets. Hunters lawyers are

(03:43):
asking Pops to put an end to the discrimination on
the material on Hunters laptop from Hell. They seemingly admit
and on the one hand that it is his laptop,
on the other hand and denying it's his laptop. Can
we get a straight answer? That would be a good
star art, you know. But now that they're engaged, finally,

(04:04):
I'm sending over probably what will be one hundred questions
that we've been trying to get answers to. We've made
dozens of requests. They don't confirm or deny anything. And anyway,
like the Senate report had pointed out, you know, no experience.
Hunter admits on Good Morning America and the oil gas
of Ukraine, but he collected a huge monthly sum from Barisma.

(04:25):
He admitted he had no experience. Why was he paid
this money? And around the same time that was when
Joe Biden went to Ukraine because he was heading up
the Ukraine effort for the Obama administration, and said, and
he bragged about it later that he's you're not getting
a billion dollars until you fire the prosecutor who was
investigating Barisma and his son Hunter. He gave them six

(04:49):
hours or else they're not getting the money. And then
son of a Bee, they gave him the money. And
then if you look at the reports about Joe Biden,
when it comes to you know, Russia, three and a
half million dollars from a Russian oligarch. Have you confirmed
the hundred million dollar investment from the same oligarch, the
former first Lady of Moscow and a real estate venture

(05:11):
with the Bidens. Yeah, everything's fallen into play, Sean, everything
you said, and you know where to the point now,
I think every reasonable American realizes that the Biden family,
and that would be both the president's two brothers as
well as his son, have taken millions of millions of
dollars that they should have never taken. But what we're

(05:33):
into now from our investigation is there are potentially five
instances where Joe Biden, as either Vice President or president,
has made major decisions that were in direct opposition to
what would have been in the best interests of the
American people. And in all five of those instances, you

(05:56):
can trace significant sums of money coming from our adversaries
to Biden family members. In other words, we fear this
administration's compromised because of all the money that the Biden
family's taken. And I think the press corps and the
liberal elites in Washington are starting to recognize that Joe

(06:17):
Biden's got to make your problem. The Senate committee that
investigated a lot of these issues, the Senate Homeland Security Committee,
other committees. In twenty thirteen, Hunter travels with his father
to China on Air Force two. It was a big
Asia trip and China was part of it. Ten days later,
the Senate Committee claimed that he struck a lucrative deal

(06:39):
with the Bank of China a billion dollars that later
became a billion five despite his terrible reputation. Why would
they give such a big job to a guide that
we don't see has any experience in this field at all?
You know, why wouldn't you go to Morgan Stanley or
Georgia Bank or Goldman Sachs. Do you have any explanation

(07:01):
for that? And can you confirm the billion five deal
with the Bank of China. I can confirm that he
had multiple deals with Chinese interests that were funneling money
through the Bank of China. Now we've requested these bank
records and these bank violations. They will list those foreign transactions.
We have reports of what they were, but once we

(07:25):
get those bank records and we'll know whether or not
that is factory. But I think the odds are very
good that they were. Now, what we do know from
talking to the various people that we've been meeting with
over the past year that we're in Hunter Biden's circle
is their business model. And when I say they, I'm
talking about Hunter Biden and both the President's brothers. Their

(07:47):
business model with our adversaries is they would go in
and they would say, we have access to the highest
levels of our government. And it's not just the Biden name.
We have access to cabinet secretaries, we have access to
department head We can help you navigate the bureaucracy. Even
though our country's government isn't supposed to do business with you.

(08:09):
We can make things happen, we can part the waves,
we can do whatever we can to help you if
you pay us enough money. Let me answer this question,
are you can you prove that that was their pitch?
Do you have evidence to that. There are two lawsuits
right now where people have claimed in federal bankruptcy court

(08:34):
that Joe Biden's brother made a pitch to them that
he could help this healthcare company in Tennessee. It was
a startup healthcare company, that they could help them get
millions of dollars of money from the United Arab Emirates
through his brother's contacts if they give him enough money

(08:55):
to go over there and do some bribes and meet
with some government officials in the in the United Arab Emments. Uh,
there are two lawsuits where the records are fairly public.
We've got other whistleblowers that have come forward now, Sean,
what I plan on doing is in the in the

(09:15):
coming weeks, we plan on having some of these people
start coming in for transcribe interviews, depositions, and eventually committee hearing.
So you know, disinvestigation is well under its way. We
had the transcribed interview dealing with the documents this week.
Next week we've got the three Twitter employees coming in

(09:37):
for a committee hearing. I mean, this investigation is well under,
well underway, and I think we're going to start having
a lot more answers to our questions very soon. So
these people, you believe, I'm going to testify under oath
and in other cases they already have to that fact. Well,
they've they're suing Biden family members. I mean, everybody looks

(10:00):
at Hunter Biden and it's bad with Hunter Biden, but
people forget about the president's other brothers. The only reason
we don't talk about the president's brother is because they
didn't leave a laptop line around. This was a family business.
This wasn't just the president's son. This was the president's
two brothers as well. And there's evidence out there that

(10:23):
we've been accumulating for nearly a year on the President's
fronts that's consistent with Hunter Biden. The one difference with
the brothers is they were involved in more Middle Eastern deals.
So you know, we always hear about Hunter Biden in Ukraine,
Russia and China and it's bad there, But the brothers

(10:43):
were involved in Middle Eastern deals, So you know, it's
just the one thing that's consistent with this family is
they did business with our adversaries around the world. And
this is all going to come to line very soon.
Quick break. We'll come back more with House Oversight Committee
Chairman Jimmer on the other side. Then we'll get to
your calls. Eight hundred and nine four one Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program. As

(11:05):
we continue on this Friday Hannity nine Eastern tonight, I
would continue with House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Colemore, who's
with us. You said at one point that this was
an investigation and to the President himself, Joe Biden, you
stand by that, and what did you mean by that?

(11:26):
We don't know what's legal and what's not legal with
respect to influence peddling, And at the end of the day,
once it's investigation's over, I hope that there's a legislative
fix to determine what is allowable and what isn't allowable
with respect to family members profiting off the President the
United States. Having said that what this investigation is about

(11:47):
is Joe Biden, what did Joe Biden know? What role
did Joe Biden play, And did Joe Biden benefit financially
from his family's shady business dealings, and did Joe Biden
make the decisions that we're not in the best interest
of the American people because of all the money his
family received from our adversaries that we're investigating. But isn't

(12:09):
that illegal already or you don't know that fact? If?
What if? What is alleged, is true? Is that illegal?
We believe it is. If Joe Biden made decisions against
the best interest of the American people for financial gain,
then I believe that is very illegal. Now we all

(12:30):
saw the tape of Joe Biden's you know, bragging that
you're not I told them in Ukraine, you're not getting
the billion dollars. You're not going to get it. You
got six hours, and he was demanding that a prosecutor
in Ukraine as vice president be fired or else they're
not going to get a billion. I believe they were
loan guarantees, but a taxpayer money. So and then they

(12:53):
gave him. He gave him a six hour deadline and
his words were son of a bee. They fired him
and they got the money. And the prosecutor that we
found out was investigating Barisma and Hunter Biden. I guess
that investigation stopped. Now that sounds an awful lot like
a quid pro quote to me. Do you think that's

(13:14):
a quid pro quo? Well, the Democrats would call that
a quid pro quo and an impeachable offense, wouldn't you think,
Sean Well? I would think that if Donald Trump were
president and all this money was flowing from China, Russia, Ukraine,
Kazakhstan and god knows where else into Eric Trump's deals
and Don Junior's deals and Ivanka's deals. Yeah, I think

(13:38):
they would be calling it that and worse and screaming
bloody murder exactly. And it's just unbelievable the double standards
of the media has. But I think I think that's turning, Sean.
I mean you're seeing CBS, they're starting to grill John
Pierre in the in the briefing room. They're starting to
have stories on this. Even An Inn is digging around

(14:02):
on some of this stuff. I mean the meat. I
talked to reporters of the ABC and NBC as well.
They're investigative reporters. They realize that this president has not
been truthful about his family's shady business things. At the
very least, they know he knew about every one of them.
They've seen the pictures, they've seen the email. I think
they watch Hannity Now at night. So if you get

(14:24):
caught up on what's going on, well, where were the
ones that I didn't get? The crappie it out of me?
By The Columbia Journalism Review over reporting the dirty Russian
Clinton bought and paid for dossier. It was the New
York Times and the Washington Posts that were wrong, and
that little show Hannity ended up being vindicated time and
time again on our reporting of as we got the

(14:45):
spy balloon now over Kansas, maybe somebody in the Defense
Department will say, we need to retrieve that balloon and
bring it back down to earth. And I think that's
something that's very doable. Anyway, we appreciate your work in time.
Thank you so much. Congressman James Comer eight hundred nine one. Sean,
our number if you want to be a part of

(15:06):
the program, will hit the phones today on this Friday,
we have Hannity Tonight with all the latest details on
this intelligence balloon. You can't always get what you want,

(15:31):
but you can get Sean Hannity online at Hannity dot
com right twenty five to the top of the hour.
GLADU with us this Friday. We got a big show
tonight on Hannity, a live audience show. Mike Pompeio will
be our special guest, Wayne In on Joe Biden seemingly
doing nothing about the reconnaissance balloon. You know, spotted over

(15:54):
Missouri as of late that was as of this afternoon.
And what is Joe doing. The only thing they've done
is Anthony B. Lincoln, who's useless anyway, is canceled this
trip or postponed it to China? Big deal anyway, We'll
get to your calls on this in a second. Eight
hundred nine one Sean is our number. You know, if
you are a believer as I am, in the sanctity

(16:17):
of life, the miracle of life being a gift, natural
rights come from God. We believe that life in general
comes from God. I believe that as well. And life
is precious. That's why we have proudly partnered with this
great group called Preborn Pregnancy Network. And they don't get,
by the way, a penny from the federal government. And
they are using the science of ultrasound when there's an

(16:41):
unexpected pregnancy or a woman's considering abortion to let them
make the most informed decision possible. And what they have
discovered is with this imaging that is now better than
it's ever been. You can see fingers and toes and
facial features. And here the heartbeat is that when expecting
moms see and hear that that they choose life more

(17:03):
often than not. They've rescued over two hundred thousand babies
just through the use of ultrasound science. Now one ultrasound
is twenty eight bucks. They get no government funding. You
can you can sponsor one. You can sponsor five for
one hundred and forty bucks. That means you're helping to
rescue babies lives and putting your money where your principles are.
And I'm going to be donating as well. Every gift

(17:24):
is tax deductible. One hundred percent of your donation goes
to the cause. You can donate securely. You take out
your cell phone, you dial pound two fifty, say the
keyword baby, pound two fifty, keyword baby, or just go
to their website preborn dot com slash sean. That's preborn
dot com slash sean. Great organization. All right, Uh so,

(17:46):
you know, I don't know whether it'll laugh or to cry.
You know, we have America under assault by the communist Chinese.
Remember this. Now, there are options. No, no, you can

(18:15):
keep the music up. We have the option of going
up there and retrieving the balloon. That would be my
favorite option. And if that doesn't work, I think we
have other options, and one of them would be you know,
we know where the balloon is. It's been over Missouri
for a good part of the day today Communist with

(18:36):
the Kansas. And then it was over Montana, Missouri. Yeah,
it's been over Missouri for a good part of the day. Kansas. Yes,
you just can't make it up. Or they could just
shoot the sucker right out of the sky. Why are
we getting lectured allowing the Chinese to lecture us? You know,
we had two Air Force fighter jets scrambling from Nello's
Air Force Space in Nevada to Montana where the balloon

(18:59):
was observed. Well, if we could send people to the
moon and the Communist Chinese have our connaissance balloons spying
us on us in our airspace, either retrieve it and
learn from it what is in it, or shoot it down.
Those are the only two options I see, all right,
eight hundred nine one, Sean, if you want to be

(19:20):
a part of the program, Don is in Iowa. Don
That balloon's close to you right now. How are you doing, Hi, Sean,
thank you for taking my call. I'm a truck driver.
I'm actually in New Mexico right now, coming home. Well,
you know, what everybody, maybe whatever state, it's the balloon
is flying over, everybody should step out of the house
and shoot the bird to the communist Chinese. I do

(19:43):
that every day anyway. The first of all, I'm a
marine veteran with intel experience as well. Well, you get
two semplfies, one for being an amazing marine. Second you
get one for being a trucker. And you know my
love and passion for truckers, because every store would be
empty if it wasn't for the hard work that you
guys doing and spend particularly hard the last couple of years.

(20:06):
Because I have friends in the trucking business. Your promotion
of trucking has helped us in the past, I promise,
in ways you wouldn't even know, but thank you. And
the Democrats probably want us to believe it's the Professor
from the Wizard of Oz flying over Kansas in a balloon.
By the way, but in all honesty, in two thousand

(20:30):
one or two, yeah, two thousand and one, the Chinese
knocked an American spy plane out of the out of
the sky that was on a reconnaissance mission, and they
didn't mess around with it. They sent a recovery jet
up to mess with it, and it flew into some
of the ailerons and knocked the plane out of the sky.

(20:53):
The Chinese captured that plane and got a ton of
intelligence information from us. They weren't afraid to knock get
They went ahead and they did it. I don't want
to just knock it down and ruin every bit of
equipment when it crashes to Earth. I'd rather recover it
if at all possible. And I've got to believe if
we can send men to the Moon and they can
walk on the Moon, that we can recover this stupid

(21:13):
reconnaissance balloon. Absolutely. I put a round through it and
make it descend slowly if that's their only option, and
this way here they can it might be a way
to get a controlled descent on this. I mean, think
about I've been in C one thirty once when I
flew to Iraq and I was there for two in
air refuelings one of the most phenomenal operations. It's you know,

(21:38):
twenty two year old pilots for crying out loud. These
guys were amazing and watching it in air refueling is incredible.
You know how many times do we have well, what
if we had somebody in a parachute fly if at all.
I don't know if this is possible. I'm just throwing
out ideas as a civilian. I don't know what's possible
or not, you know, but I want to find a

(21:58):
way to recover balloon and bring it down to earth
and take it. I want it. It's our balloon. It's
flying over our airspace. We own it. That's it. And
Joe just doesn't seem to care well, you know, is
compromised by the Chinese, as the whole Democrat Party is.
Diane Feinstein with her Chinese by driver who they allowed

(22:20):
to retire instead of putting prison, they let him retire
on a California pension. Ridiculous. Swallowell getting Chang Feng to
back his campaign for election into Congress and they allow
that to go through, ridiculous. There's so many more instances
that the Chinese are our enemy. They have been in

(22:42):
North Korea, they were our enemy in Vietnam, they were
our enemy today they are still at our enemy. We
are not at war with them. They are at war
with us, and we need to stop pitter pattering around
with them, and we've got to take otherwise they're just
going to walk all over us and Joe Biden is
going to Ali. Well, thank you for your service to
your country. Thanks for you hauland our food and supplies

(23:06):
to every store that you go to, every city you
stop at. We appreciate all that you do. And I'm
glad you're out there listening. I hope you have a
great weekend. Don thank you, great observations. All right, let's
stay on this. Let's see Kurt and Utah. Kurt, how
are you? What do you think we should do with
the beautiful balloon and reconnaissance balloon of the Chinese? Well, Sean,

(23:28):
I think we should shoot it down and or recover it,
like you're saying, But just like your other collar, I'm
a twenty five year retired disabled Army back and truck
right now in Kansas. Wow, I mean what similarities. Well,
thank you for your service and thank you for what
you do with over the road work, which is really hard.
And I'm sorry you guys have had to struggle a

(23:49):
lot in the last two years. I really am. I
know all about it. People very close to me in
the trucking business, and I know it's a struggle. It
slowed down a little bit, but hopefully it'll pay back
up once we get this guy out of office. Well
it's that, but it's also the high price a diesel.
You know, do you are you an owner operator or
do you work for a company. I used to be

(24:11):
an owner operator, but I sold in Biden's first year
when the price is cut too high, And now I'm
a company driver. I know people that did the same thing,
and now they actually lease trucks, uh from like Ryder
and other places. And the benefit of lease in the
truck is you don't have to worry about finding spare parts.
I know a guy that ran a company and they,

(24:33):
you know, it was a small truck in company. I
think they had like ten twelve trucks something like that.
They had to take one of their trucks and lay
it down and use that as the spare part truck
for the other trucks to keep them on the road,
right right, yeah? Um. Anyway, so you think you agree
with me on the balloon, I do. I do, And
and you know, I scratched my head can when the

(24:56):
first first came out and Biden said shoot it down,
and you know, and the Pentagon overruleding, Well, the Pentagon
doesn't have the power to overrule the president. You mean
the commander in chief, the guy that's supposed to make
the decision, the guy whose family is in business with China,
that guy exactly. So. I don't believe the Biden sets
shoot it down. I think that was just a cover to,

(25:19):
you know, make Biden look good. I think he knows
all about this and they're allowing it to happen, and
it pisses me off to be honest with him. I
think that he and all of his top generals ought
to be conferring right now, in real time, about how
to deal with this. And my first preference would be

(25:41):
to recover it. If you can't shoot it down, that's it,
exactly exactly. I don't want to see what they're looking at.
And yeah, they give the story, Well we're going to
track it to see what they're looking at. No, this
is our country, this is our airspace. Absolutely not that
you know, they're supposed to be in charge of the
security of this country. What the hell are they doing

(26:04):
letting us things fly over? Listen. They all ought to
be in the situation room and this ought to be
done now. It should have been done when they first
discovered this big beautiful balloon from China was flying over
our airspace, buying on us. You know the fact that
it's gone on, they've known about it for days. They
don't tell us, as usual the most transparent administration. I'm sorry.

(26:25):
They're gathering intelligence on this country. And the next thing
we got to stop is selling the strategic petroleum reserves
to the Chinese. And the next thing we got to
stop is allowing the communist Chinese to be buying our farmland,
our ranch land, and buying land near military basis. How

(26:46):
stupid are we? Hell no, they're a hostile regime. They
are an enemy of this country, and they've made it clear.
You know, look at the threats that they give our country,
telling our speak. Thank you for your service and thank
you for what you do every day to keep our
store shelves full. We appreciate it. Quick break right back
to the phones. Eight hundred and nine four one sewn.

(27:06):
If you want to be a part of the program. Hey,
our friends at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation they've started.
Now there, let us do good. Village they've been telling
you about in Lando Lakes, Florida. Now it is the
first of a kind. It's a community about one hundred
homes and they're all four Tunnel to Towers program recipients.
Now gold Star family called the Hortons. They were the
first to move in to this let Us Do Good

(27:29):
Village and their widow Danielle, and children Jalen and Kinsley.
They moved there after the death of their husband and father, Robert,
a US Army sergeant. Danielle calls this home the biggest
blessing and in this let Us Do Good Village, gold
Star families of fallen first responders and catastrophically injured first

(27:51):
responders and service members. They're all neighbors. And these are
heroes and families of heroes living in one community, all
helping each other grow and heal together. They understand what
they're going through, children grow up together. They support one another,
and with every mortgage free home, the foundation makes good
on their promise to do good and never forget as

(28:12):
sacrifices our nation's greatest heroes have made for our country
and our communities, and they Let Us Do Good Village.
It's the first of many communities like it, and they're
asking all of us to commit eleven bucks a month.
Just go to their website tunnel to towers, the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot dot org. The
letter T the number two, the letter T dot org.

(28:33):
And let us be the first of many communities to
help out these brave men and women fighting for our
liberties and our freedoms. The final hour of The Sean
Hannity Show is up next. Hang on for Shaun's conservative solutions.

(28:54):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones eight
hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to
be a part of the program, Eric in Texas, Eric,
how are you. I'm doing well? Thank you. What's going on? So?
I kind of want to hear more about the Project
Veritas tape that's going on with the Fiser guy. I

(29:16):
also would like to hear, you know, a lot more
about like the ongoing COVID fascism. It seems to be
something that doesn't really get a lot of playtime on
your show in comparison to like the Hunter Biden stuff. Well,
you have to decide. My understanding is the guy that
you know basically talked about a version as I understood

(29:37):
it to be gained a function has retracted the story.
Which version do you believe the first one or the
second one. Do you think the second one is a
cya whatever it happens to be, you know, but I
would like to see Fiser go out and answer a
lot more questions. And every time the CEO of Fiser

(29:58):
has been asked that I've seen, I think it was
Tommy Larin that I actually put a montage together, and
I'm like, this guy doesn't want to answer questions. So
you know, this is why Eric. Remember during the height
of COVID, were you listening to my show at that time? Oh? Yeah,
I've been listening for a very long time. Well thank you.
Do you remember me saying over and over again, I'm

(30:18):
not a doctor, I'm not you. Not much pressure was
brought to bear on me and this show to tell
my audience that I cared deeply about that gives me
a life, that I love, a passion of mine to
be on the radio and TV. That they were telling
me that I had a responsible duty to be telling

(30:38):
all of you what to do with your bodies. I'm
not a doctor. But this is how insane this has gotten.
And I'll tell you this, I come out of this
having learned a lot. I will never ever ever trust
the government on a health issue. Again, that's my conclusion.
Everyone else has to make up their own mind. But

(30:58):
they got everything wrong. I could not agree more. I mean,
I've even like did some research into it and found
out that if I just use like nasal rents, that
helps more than a lot of the other stuff. Just
sailing a simple sailing rents helps as far as clearing
up the virus. There's a lot of information out there

(31:18):
that's being hidden. So it's just stuff that I wish
would get pounded more, especially like the Veritas thing, because
you are so good on doing the Project Veritas with
the abortion stuff and you hammered it. You hammered it,
So I would like to see that same kind of
the same kind of hammering at home of what's going
on behind the scenes with these medical companies. You know,

(31:42):
it's it's it's hard when you have somebody that recants
a statement that they made and say it's not true.
There's a lot of issues that I have to deal
with that I really can't even talk about, not that
I don't want to be transparent and as open and
honest with you as I can. That goes on behind
the scenes. I mean, if you knew the scrutiny and

(32:03):
the amount of absolute dollars that have to go out
to defend my ability to do this show every day.
You wouldn't believe it. You would's it would shock your conscience.
I promise you. Hey, last thing before I get off, Man,
good job hiring a Texas girl to do your to
do your phone screening. Katie is super nice, Katie's engaged.

(32:26):
Why are you flirting with Katie? Because that's what you're doing.
I'm a happily married man eleven years, eleven years. I'm
gonna take it your word on that, but it sounds
like you're flirting with Katie to me, I don't know
that's what I hear. Oh no, no, she just had
that Southern hospitality, that's all, and I appreciated it. I'm
just saying, Linda, didn't you think that sounded a little
flirty for Katie. I'm not getting involved in this. This

(32:47):
sounds weird. I feel like I'm only going to make
it worse by the way. That's usually the case, so
why would why would it be any different? Eric, We
appreciate you, called God bless you my friend. Eight hundred
