Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you Scott s Sheennon, and thanks to
all of you for being with us. Toll free our
numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you
want to be a part of the program. We just
got a timeline from Chad program over you know, all
things Washington, d C. The swamp, the sewer, the Hitchhiker's
Guide to all Things the Swamp, as I call it.
(00:21):
There's nobody that knows the inner workings, procedural workings like
Chad looks like this. This vote on this bill will
take place sometime in my hour on TV tonight, so
we'll obviously be following this. We've had now time to
do a deeper, bigger dive into the ninety nine page
(00:42):
so called It's not the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Let me
just let me just disabuse you of that false narrative
that is being pushed out there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Just isn't you know?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We have thirty one trillion dollars in debt, and you
know what, we will continue to grow our debt after
this bill. And I think I put together what has
happened and understand it now more than I did before.
And you know, and look there are it's a fair analysis.
(01:18):
These are let me give you some conservative names. New
King Rich, the last speaker to balance the budget, holds
a lot of credibility with me, and I do give
a nod to his analysis that it's a process.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I'll take.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'll understand. I understand that part. I understand you're not
going to get it all at once. But the Republican
bill initially that did raise the debt ceiling, that say
four point eight trillion over ten years.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Was it was.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
They weren't going for everything at once, but it was
a significant, real first start, you know, starting Salvo. Steve
Moore like respect A lot had similar comments. Uh The
Washington Times, similar comments, Wall Street Journal, similar comments. New
York Posts, similar comments. Larry Kudlow backed the deal. He
(02:09):
said the debt deal is not as good as the
original limit save grow bill, but I think McCarthy got
about seventy percent. He says, that's awfully good. I disagree
on the percentage aspect of it, and we could talk
about that in a minute. Here's where you know, you
got to look at this thing and understand this is Washington,
(02:31):
and you know I told you that I would be
straight up honest, and when McCarthy. I think McCarthy up
to this point in his speakership has done a great job,
and this became a pivotal moment, and I think he
made some fundamental errors and mistakes here. I hope he
learns from it, if even has an opportunity to learn
from it. There there are people that are apoplectic about this,
(02:54):
and nobody on the left likes it either. Just in
case you're interested, and I know that the model it's
in the world will say, well, that means it's probably
right in the right spot. No, it's not in the
right spot when we're robbing and we'll continue to rob
our kids and grandkids of their future with you know,
a four trillion dollar increase in the in the debt ceiling.
(03:14):
And you know, there are enough people that say, you know,
why are we making a deal and normalizing records spending?
All the Republican deal the limit save grow bill did
is go back to twenty twenty three spending levels. Does
that really sound draconian too? You later on while ran Paul,
you know a plan that I have supported forever, The
(03:36):
Penny Plan was put out by Connie Mack years ago.
I've I've been talking about this for you know, a
decade for crying out loud because he's right. He was
right then, he's right now. Although it may need to
be the nickel or dime plan at this point, although
ram Paul seems to think you still have the penny
plan and you just cut a penny out of every
dollar every year, you cut one penny out of spending.
(03:59):
You know, the obvious exceptions would be cola, increases, cost
of living, increases, adjustments for Social Security, Medicare, which is,
you know, headed towards insolvency with Social Security. But if
I had to look at this and see where this
went awry here and why, you know I I would
(04:21):
not vote for it if I was in Congress, let
me put it that way, and I just wouldn't. I
think what maybe Republicans, maybe Kevin McCarthy, I think he
made some fundamental errors here. And with the small majority
that he has and the many votes how many votes
do we have before he came speaker like but fifteen votes?
(04:41):
I mean, you know, I think he made a fundamental
mistake by not keeping his caucus in the loop and
communicating with them the entire time about the negotiations at
the White House, and by doing so it resulted in
a lit out of unnecessary anger and angst that I
(05:04):
think could have been avoided had he sat these guys
down and said, Okay, this is their latest proposal. Now,
if we want to, if we want to negotiate in
good faith, but we're going to end up given something, Okay,
can you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Go along with.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Allowing the irs to almost be fully funded at what
Biden wanted? A minor cut, nothing major, you know, are
you okay? Instead of making this a one year deal,
to make it a two year deal, you know, instead
of four point eight trillion in savings. You know, we
have estimates anywhere between one point five billion and two billion,
(05:40):
or a little over two point two or two point
three billion in terms of money saved over ten years
versus four point eight trillion.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, that's less than half. Is that to me?
That's not enough savings?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know, if you look at the bill, you know,
why are we pushing back future negotiation until after the
presidential election. We ought to make this front and center
in the election that Republicans used to be the party
that wanted to balance budgets, last person to balance a budget,
and new made this point, and it's a very valid
(06:15):
point that he didn't get it in one full swoop
With Bill Clinton. It was a series of negotiations that
went on for many years, and peace by peace, they
slowly evolved into what became a balanced budget for the US,
and he was the last Speaker of the House to
ever accomplish that. So I respect the process. I'm not
(06:40):
disagreeing with Newt in that sense. Are there are there
measures that we won on?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is there? Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Some What some Republicans like about it is it caps
non defense spending growth by no more than one percent
twenty four and twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, I consider that a win.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Not as good as twenty twenty three levels, but it's
certainly not the worst thing in the world. Kevin McCarthy
is one hundred percent right when he says this is
the largest savings ever of any bill. But we've also
have the largest debt that we've ever had. So I
think there's a way that you mitigate that. The bill
does claw back twenty eight billion dollars in unspent COVID funds.
(07:25):
Why didn't they go for all the unspent COVID funds?
It officially cancels. Biden's student loan pause repayments must start
now the end of the summer, but it doesn't end
student loan forgiveness. Why didn't they hold the line on that?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Why is that now a new you know program?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The government is what we're going to pay for people's
college the other ones that sign the loan agreement. I
signed my loan agreement, I paid my loan back. I
want a retro re pay of the loan that I
paid back. If we're now all of a sudden, there's
going to be instantaneous student loan forgiveness or a student
loan pause repayment, you know, how do you borrow money?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sign your name on the dotted line. You know what
you're doing at the time you take out the loan.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Why would you expect other people to be paying for
your education?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Now? What about people that go into the trades.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know, now they're going to be paying for kids
to go to Georgetown and Vanderbilt and have it and
Ivy League schools and some of the top schools around
the country. I don't think that's fair to people that
go into the trades that we're going to pay for
their trade school education. Are we going to subsidize their
apprentice years program, which it met for many of these trades.
You know, you spend in five years as an apprentice,
(08:47):
you know, before you can become a journeyman, carpenter, or
a plumber or electrician or whatever it happens to be.
It marginally expands work requirements. Okay, that's something Joe Biden
didn't want to do, But you know, is it really onerous?
Not really funding to Biden's eighty billion dollar plan to
double the size of the IRS. This to me was
(09:10):
that that would have been non negotiable for me, that
we're going to double the size of the IRS. They
did manage to cut a small amount of it, what
one point four billion dollars, far crying from slashing it,
which is what the original you know limits save grow
bill of the Republicans were, although they're saying another twenty
billion can be repurposed in twenty twenty four, twenty five,
(09:33):
and maybe McCarthy can do something with that money. But
the provision does not appear in the text of the bill,
and some are saying they've agreed to it. But if
it's not in the text, you know what anybody's word
in Washington is worthless. You know, they're not the type
of people that most Americans are. I'm a handshake guy.
(09:54):
If I make a deal. I recently had a deal
that I did with somebody. I'm not going to tell
you the exact transaction, so i'm we make a deal.
It was something I was purchasing. And then at okay,
we all agree, let's write it up, put up a contract. Okay,
we've got an agreement in principle for me, the deal's over.
(10:16):
And they said, yeah, but we're gonna wait on signing it.
We want to we want to keep it on the
market and see if we can get more money. I walked,
I ran away, and.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I didn't take that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm not deal doing business with people like that. You
can't accept the deal. But yeah, in case somebody comes
in and offers me more money, you're not getting it.
That's not a deal. That's not honorable to me. You say, okay,
we got a deal. I'm selling you my tractor. I'm
selling you my F one fifty uh huh. Anyway, so
we you know, we have the best case scenario is
(10:51):
IRS's expansion. We'll still have an extra sixty billion dollars
to work with. Now, Hannity, why do you care well,
because that means that they're going to make your lives miserable.
The only person that's been honest that this is going
to impact most people in America that make under four
hundred thousand dollars a year was Janet Yellin. She probably
(11:12):
got yelled at, pun intended because she said what we
knew to be true to from the beginning. You know,
let me tell you about these rich people. They end
up hiring accountants and lawyers that know every single solitary
loophole that exists.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
How do I know that? Because I hire them.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Also, I have not one accounting firm, I have two
accounting firms that separately do my taxes. Then it's looked
over by a law firm because we know that my
file is going to be pulled every year. It's it's
standard operating procedure. Well, you're really entitled to this deduction,
mister Hannity, but you know, just so you know, this
(11:57):
is one of these areas that the IRS likes to,
you know, take a deeper dive look at I'm like,
pay it, just pay it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's not worth the hassle.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And then you end up paying more for lawyers on
the other side of it, So what's the point. So
for me, it's like they already go after me every year,
But for all of you that are not harassed by
the irs, every year, they'll start going after you. That's
what's gonna happen. And it just sucks for let me
tell you, it's just not fun and it's very expensive,
(12:27):
and you got to hire lawyers or you know, Rush
Tax Resolution dot Com is a great company that does it.
They won't even take your case unless they know that
they'll be successful for you. So, you know, I go
back to the deal that the Republicans passed. I could
I think that there was room for negotiation if they
look look, let me backtrack. The debt ceiling artificial deadline
(12:51):
of January of June fifth is crap. It's not true.
We're not gonna be We're not going to default on
June fifth, whether this deal is done or not. And
that's a big lie, and it creates the panic in Washington,
and both sides are deathly afraid that they're.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Going to get blamed.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The only one that I would blame would be Joe Biden,
who wouldn't negotiate in the beginning, met once disappeared for
ninety seven days, shows up at the last minute and
is demanding this, that and the other thing. And Okay,
now he's finally negotiating. But they had five months to
do this, So I really don't care about Joe Biden's
you know clock at this point anyway, And the left
(13:32):
hates it too. That's an interesting part of this. All right,
Just we roll along eight hundred nine point one Sean Hope.
Many of you are going to be with President Trump
tomorrow town hall outside of Des Moines, Iowa. We're doing
the radio show from an undisclosed location.
Speaker 3 (13:52):

Speaker 2 (14:07):
It it'd be great, except with fresh air. Yeah. It's Iowa.
It's indoors.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, but still it's Iowa. You know, New York doesn't matter.
You're indoors, you're outdoors at all stinks. But in Iowa
it smells better.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You could be near a pig farm. I mean, I'm
not sure if you'd like the smell of that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Tell you something. If I was going to pick over
the crackheads on the sidewalk and pigs, I'm telling you
right now, I'm going for the pigs.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
But please come see us in Iowa because we're going
to be in Iowa tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
There are things that many Republicans are saying that they
like about the bill. I'm not saying everything's bad about it.
It's just that I think it could have been better,
and I think they had a better hand, and I
think I think there was a communication gap here. That's
that's got to be resolved if they're going to be
united a united Caucus and.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Be on the same page.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And that is you know, if you're negotiating with the
White House or Democrats, you got to know that they
never want anything that's going to make sense. Now. They
didn't want to negotiate at all. That's why Democrats are
furious at Biden. I'll get to that. On the other side,

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'll try and get an update by the end of
the show. You know, I find this pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
One of the most frustrating things to me is what
James Comy has gotten away with. If you look at Comy,
mccabstruck Page, all of them, they all end up becoming,
you know, getting richer as a result of what they
were involved in. And to me, it just is unfathomable.
(17:58):
I don't think anybody listening to my my voice right
now can go before any judge, never mind a PHISA judge,
which is supposed to be a difficult warrant to get
a hold of. Remember Deputy FBI Director McCabe said, well,
you don't get that PISA warrant approved without Hillary Clinton's
bought and paid for dirty dossier. They all knew what
(18:18):
was unverifiable. Durham report says, yet double standard of justice.
They treated Hillary one way, Trump another way. Crossfire Hurricane
or Operation Crossfire Hurricane never should have opened. And all
these people, they're writing books, they've got contributed deals with
fake news networks, they're getting paid basically to be full
(18:41):
time Trump hating people. And this just call me reacting
to the Durham Report on the FBI. Oh, there's always
going to be mistakes. And remember when he was before
Lindsay Graham's committee. Oh, knowing what I know now, I
wouldn't have signed three of the four PISA warrants. But
what we know now is that they knew then, they
knew it, and they didn't care. And here's the worst part.
(19:05):
There's no consequences. So why would anyone be surprised that
the FBI, you know, has Hunter's laptop in December of
twenty nineteen, verifies it, verifies the authenticity in the spring
of twenty twenty, and still sends FBI agents to every
big tech company in the months leading up to the
(19:26):
twenty twenty election and having weekly meetings with big tech
warning them they may be victims of misinformation campaigns from
foreign nations and it may be about Joe Biden or
even Hunter Biden, because that's what happened. If that's not
putting cinderblocks on the scale of an election, I don't
know what is.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh, there's always going to be mistakes, though, Oh, no
big deal. Do you acknowledge perhaps that some mistakes were
made along the way?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Oh definitely, and they were found four years ago by
the Inspector General. So there's nothing new in this new document.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Were some of those mistakes from your point of view.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Oh, that the FBI didn't communicate clearly the status of
certain sources, they didn't double check certain information before putting
it in a court application for a foreign intelligence wiretap,
and a bunch of others.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And so do you believe now, as these some of
these politicians call for defunding of the FBI, that that
has been corrected and that now the procedures are in
place to avoid those kind of mistakes in the future.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I think so. But in complex investigations, there's always going
to be mistakes. It doesn't mean the FBI is incompetent, honest,
and independent.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, unfortunately, they seem to only be competent when they're
going after the political opposition. It's just it's just sad, uh,
you know, blaming trust for you know, anyone on to
blame Donald Trump, you know, for the growing distrust that
now exists with the FBI. You know, he's on Bake News,
(20:53):
CNN and polls showing Republicans rightly don't trust the FBI anymore.
I don't trust trust them anymore. We had my cousin
who served in the FBI, him and his brother. They
were deity when I was growing up, they were like, wow,
you know, they were at the top of the food
chain in my family, the most respected.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
They had made it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
This was the you know, creme de la creme, if
you will, anyway and anyway, what can be done to
change that? And what if it doesn't change and what happens?
And he says, well, I think largely because Donald Trump
and those around him have seen the FBI as a threat,
so they've taken a blow torch to try and tear
down that threat. No, the FBI has been politicized, and
(21:38):
Director Ray says, what we put in place measures to
change it. No, they didn't not enough, because if they
had put in place to changes what happened in twenty twenty.
As it relates to the FBI warning big tech companies,
they are solely responsible for the censorship of the Hunter
(21:59):
Biden laptop story because they're the ones that were meeting
weekly with the big tech companies.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
By the way, one House Republican now urging jail time
for Christopher Ray. Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the House
Freedom Caucus, told Just the News we can't press charges,
we could certainly refer charges and if Ray shows up
on Capitol Hill. If he shows up in the House Chamber,
he can certainly end up in the brig here. You know,
(22:29):
I think these are those are harsh words, but we
can't have this defiance, he said during a wide ranging interview.
The FBI formally refused to turn over to Congress an
investigative memo alleging a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden. Now
is what's known as the ten twenty three form, and
we have a whistleblower saying that it exposes a very
(22:49):
specific believed by Grassley and Comer to be credible whistleblower
saying that there exists evidence and testimony of an individual
that says that Joe Biden performs certain governmental acts in
exchange for family money.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, I think they have a right to see that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Now with the ten twenty three, maybe that needs to
be seen in private.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Maybe you don't want to make that public right now.
Maybe you know, we have to.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But did they even look into it, because they didn't
look into the Hunter Biden laptop. If that was Donald
Trump Junior's laptop, I promise you, if it was Eric
Trump's laptop, Laura Trump's laptop, Avanka Trump's laptop. I promise
you that it would be a very different story in
terms of the FBI's handling of this.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Now Republicans might hold Director Ray and contempt to Congress
apparently grassly. I've not gotten any of the details of
what happened in this meeting today, but they had a
phone call with Director Ray today. But the FBI continues
to shield records of conversations with and other groups that
are brought blocking the release of records of officials privately
(24:06):
advising Twitter employees how to thwart purported election mistinformation. Now,
if they're out there with having Hunter Biden's laptop authenticated,
and they're on record saying that, oh, the misinformation may
be about Hunter and that is a purely political abuse
of power act, people should be held accountable. That's why
(24:30):
people don't have faith in the FBI or equal justice
under the law, or equal applications of our laws.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Why should they?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know, Kevin McCarthy warning Director Ray that he'll face
contempt to Congress charges if he doesn't produce the FBI's
Biden bribery evidence by the end of yesterday. So I
guess that's going to happen, and Grassley and Johnson and
Comer want to know why McCabe call mey struck, Clin
Smith and others didn't cooperate with the Drham probe. How
(24:59):
did they get away with that?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But does does anybody really care about this? I mean,
that's the saddest part of all of this.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
One thing I want to say is the Republican primary
season now kicks off, and we'll kick off our town
hall series around the country, and well we'll get all
the candidates on, especially the top candidates.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Mike Pence, it was announced, is gonna apparently not make
his announcement next week. He's getting in the race, as
is Chris Christie expected to make an announcement next week.
You know, Chris CHRISTI is the only one I have
no interest in talking to, absolutely none, because he's made
it clear he has one agenda item for running for president,
and that is to bludgeon Donald Trump. That's not a
(25:45):
serious run for the presidency. And you know, this is
a guy, interestingly, you know, self righteous, sanctimonious the left
office with like a fifteen percent approval rating. You can't
get lower than fifteen percent. I think it's the lowest
I've ever seen, you know, but I've said this to
people before.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Nobody seems to believe me. Whoever.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The Republican is and the medium mob and Democrats, you know,
they say, all right, well, we got Donald Trump, We've
we've slander him every second of every day. We're not
going to let DeSantis take root in any way. Over
at MSDNC, they you know, if you want to preview,
you know, they say, if you want to preview whether
(26:28):
the DeSantis administration would look like, look to Russia, China
and North Korea.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's NBC News.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Uh, you know the view over Sonny Houston, Billittle's you know,
white women, we'll get into this with Bill O'Reilly as
tools of their husbands, and they fall in line and
listen to their husbands. Okay, I don't know marriages like that,
to be honest, None that I can think of off
the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I know a couple they're called divorced.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, in the end of that's probably true. And anyway
DeSantis is fighting back against Trump. I might be just naive.
I've seen too many primaries. Doesn't get this ugly this early,
but this is going to be interesting to watch. He continues,
You know that Donald Trump and Ron are going to
(27:17):
have their battle. Has nothing to do to stop it.
But I'm telling you right now, if you want a
preview of coming attractions, you know it's over at d MSDNC.
You know, Trump is a unique threat, and the liberal
media declares DeSantis is even more dangerous than Trump. I mean,
what I've been telling you is it doesn't matter who
(27:39):
the Republican is, They're going to be a racist and
a sexist and a misogynist and a homophobe and a
xenophobe and an islamophobe and a transphobe that wants thirty
year in water for your children and wants your grandma
and grandpa put in a wheelchair and thrown over a
cliff and murdered. Because that is the playbook, one on
(28:01):
one every election season, and you'll watch it unfold, regardless
of who they may be up or down at any
given moment in a primary. You know it is You know,
if you to have people in the media actually declaring
the Santis more dangerous, if everyone is, if everyone is
the second coming of Hilton Hitler or fill in the
(28:24):
blank dictator from yesteryear, then No one is talking about
the Santas. I mean they they just they can't stand conservatives.
That's what it comes down to. Meanwhile, the economy's going
to absolute adam shift. Eighteen percent of Americans now say
they're satisfied with the way things are going. Okay, who
(28:45):
are the eighteen percent, because they're eighteen percent of the
dumbest group of Americans that are out there.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Fifteen percent, they're part of the fifteen percent supporting Chris Christy.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's true too. That might be it, John Kerry. They're
now coming for your burgers on the fourth of July.
They're now saying, you know, he won't refer to this
as climate change. It's now going to be forever called
the climate crisis. He's targeting agriculture as part of his
climate crusade. A guy that's flown around in private jets
(29:17):
for decades. Really, we're gonna get lecture from him about
eating beef and about farming. We have we have we
feed the entire world, for crying out loud, and we
have mastered the science of agriculture, and you want to
destroy it because of carbon emissions and tell us what
to eat because we're not eating properly according to you know,
(29:41):
these crazy people, the squad Democrats are demanding us stop
oil drilling or face severe weather events. Oh okay, this
is why this country's going right down the tubes.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And here's the worst part. I don't have a lot
of confidence in twenty twenty four yet. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I'm not sure people are suffering enough, and I'm worried
about the you know, a couple of things. One is
this mass migration, accelerated migration as I call it. What's
accelerated migration? People leaving swing states like Pennsylvania in droves,
and the majority that are leaving are conservative. The majority
(30:23):
that are leaving Wisconsin and Michigan are conservative. The majority
leaving you know, well, Arizona's got a unique problem because
Californians are moving and left and right, and they're bringing
their idiotic policies with them. Same thing with Texas. I
do almost have a political litmus test before you even consider,
you know, state citizenship for some of these people. I'm kidding,
(30:46):
of course, because the left has no sense of humor.
If you're going to move to a red state, keep
your dopey, dumb liberal voting record behind or don't bother
because you're going to ruin the state that you're going to,
like the state that you left and fled Verizon at
and TT Mobile if you're with them, Look, bottom line
(31:06):
is you are overpaying. You can get the exact same
service from pure Talk, meaning the same cell towers, the
same grade five gen network, and the average family saves
close to one thousand dollars a year. Right now at
pure talk you can get unlimited talk, unlimited text, and
ultra fast five gen data. It's only twenty bucks a month. Now,
what about the coverage. I know it's phenomenal because I
(31:29):
use it. It's the same exact cell tower, same exact five
gen network. It's simple to make the switch. Dial pound
two to fifty, save the keyword saved now for unlimited talk,
text and plenty of data twenty bucks a month, and
their amazing US customer service team will make the switch simple,
fast and easy. It's a veteran owned company. They care
about keeping jobs here in America. So why are you
(31:53):
paying more for the exact same service.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Stop?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
This is real money in your pocket and tough economic times.
Dial pound two fifty, keyword save now unlimited talk, text
and plenty of five g data twenty bucks a month
from our friends at Pure Talk.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
John Hannity, all right, So Chinese spies caught trying to
infiltrate US military bases in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Uh, what's Joe gonna do? Probably the same thing he
did with the spy balloon. We had a Chinese fighter
jet buzzing by US Air Force plane. What's Joe gonna do?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Defense Secretary of Austin asked to meet with his counterpart
in China. They told him to go. They gave him
the middle finger and told him to drop dead. What's
Joe gonna do? You know, what's he gonna do about
Vladimir Putin? Probably nothing? I mean it is. It is
beyond humiliating how China is just shoving it right in
his face and they don't care.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
It's obvious they have no fear of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
By the way, North Korea launched their first spit spice satellite.
They crashed and burned, thankfully. I do like the Ukrainians
bomb Moscow, you know what, let them feel a little
bit of the pain of what they've been doing an
innocent sovereign country. I'm not saying Europe doesn't need to
step up. Don't misunderstand UH and any simulated attack China
(33:22):
destroys our navy.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh, that's not aggressive at all.
All right, thank you Scott s Sheennon, and thanks to
all of you for being with us. Toll free our
numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you
want to be a part of the program. We just
got a timeline from Chad program over you know, all
things Washington, d C. The swamp, the sewer, the Hitchhiker's
Guide to all Things the Swamp, as I call it.
(00:21):
There's nobody that knows the inner workings, procedural workings like
Chad looks like this. This vote on this bill will
take place sometime in my hour on TV tonight, so
we'll obviously be following this. We've had now time to
do a deeper, bigger dive into the ninety nine page
(00:42):
so called It's not the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Let me
just let me just disabuse you of that false narrative
that is being pushed out there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Just isn't you know?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We have thirty one trillion dollars in debt, and you
know what, we will continue to grow our debt after
this bill. And I think I put together what has
happened and understand it now more than I did before.
And you know, and look there are it's a fair analysis.
(01:18):
These are let me give you some conservative names. New
King Rich, the last speaker to balance the budget, holds
a lot of credibility with me, and I do give
a nod to his analysis that it's a process.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I'll take.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'll understand. I understand that part. I understand you're not
going to get it all at once. But the Republican
bill initially that did raise the debt ceiling, that say
four point eight trillion over ten years.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Was it was.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
They weren't going for everything at once, but it was
a significant, real first start, you know, starting Salvo. Steve
Moore like respect A lot had similar comments. Uh The
Washington Times, similar comments, Wall Street Journal, similar comments. New
York Posts, similar comments. Larry Kudlow backed the deal. He
(02:09):
said the debt deal is not as good as the
original limit save grow bill, but I think McCarthy got
about seventy percent. He says, that's awfully good. I disagree
on the percentage aspect of it, and we could talk
about that in a minute. Here's where you know, you
got to look at this thing and understand this is Washington,
(02:31):
and you know I told you that I would be
straight up honest, and when McCarthy. I think McCarthy up
to this point in his speakership has done a great job,
and this became a pivotal moment, and I think he
made some fundamental errors and mistakes here. I hope he
learns from it, if even has an opportunity to learn
from it. There there are people that are apoplectic about this,
(02:54):
and nobody on the left likes it either. Just in
case you're interested, and I know that the model it's
in the world will say, well, that means it's probably
right in the right spot. No, it's not in the
right spot when we're robbing and we'll continue to rob
our kids and grandkids of their future with you know,
a four trillion dollar increase in the in the debt ceiling.
(03:14):
And you know, there are enough people that say, you know,
why are we making a deal and normalizing records spending?
All the Republican deal the limit save grow bill did
is go back to twenty twenty three spending levels. Does
that really sound draconian too? You later on while ran Paul,
you know a plan that I have supported forever, The
(03:36):
Penny Plan was put out by Connie Mack years ago.
I've I've been talking about this for you know, a
decade for crying out loud because he's right. He was
right then, he's right now. Although it may need to
be the nickel or dime plan at this point, although
ram Paul seems to think you still have the penny
plan and you just cut a penny out of every
dollar every year, you cut one penny out of spending.
(03:59):
You know, the obvious exceptions would be cola, increases, cost
of living, increases, adjustments for Social Security, Medicare, which is,
you know, headed towards insolvency with Social Security. But if
I had to look at this and see where this
went awry here and why, you know I I would
(04:21):
not vote for it if I was in Congress, let
me put it that way, and I just wouldn't. I
think what maybe Republicans, maybe Kevin McCarthy, I think he
made some fundamental errors here. And with the small majority
that he has and the many votes how many votes
do we have before he came speaker like but fifteen votes?
(04:41):
I mean, you know, I think he made a fundamental
mistake by not keeping his caucus in the loop and
communicating with them the entire time about the negotiations at
the White House, and by doing so it resulted in
a lit out of unnecessary anger and angst that I
(05:04):
think could have been avoided had he sat these guys
down and said, Okay, this is their latest proposal. Now,
if we want to, if we want to negotiate in
good faith, but we're going to end up given something, Okay,
can you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Go along with.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Allowing the irs to almost be fully funded at what
Biden wanted? A minor cut, nothing major, you know, are
you okay? Instead of making this a one year deal,
to make it a two year deal, you know, instead
of four point eight trillion in savings. You know, we
have estimates anywhere between one point five billion and two billion,
(05:40):
or a little over two point two or two point
three billion in terms of money saved over ten years
versus four point eight trillion.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, that's less than half. Is that to me?
That's not enough savings?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know, if you look at the bill, you know,
why are we pushing back future negotiation until after the
presidential election. We ought to make this front and center
in the election that Republicans used to be the party
that wanted to balance budgets, last person to balance a budget,
and new made this point, and it's a very valid
(06:15):
point that he didn't get it in one full swoop
With Bill Clinton. It was a series of negotiations that
went on for many years, and peace by peace, they
slowly evolved into what became a balanced budget for the US,
and he was the last Speaker of the House to
ever accomplish that. So I respect the process. I'm not
(06:40):
disagreeing with Newt in that sense. Are there are there
measures that we won on?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is there? Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Some What some Republicans like about it is it caps
non defense spending growth by no more than one percent
twenty four and twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, I consider that a win.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Not as good as twenty twenty three levels, but it's
certainly not the worst thing in the world. Kevin McCarthy
is one hundred percent right when he says this is
the largest savings ever of any bill. But we've also
have the largest debt that we've ever had. So I
think there's a way that you mitigate that. The bill
does claw back twenty eight billion dollars in unspent COVID funds.
(07:25):
Why didn't they go for all the unspent COVID funds?
It officially cancels. Biden's student loan pause repayments must start
now the end of the summer, but it doesn't end
student loan forgiveness. Why didn't they hold the line on that?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Why is that now a new you know program?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The government is what we're going to pay for people's
college the other ones that sign the loan agreement. I
signed my loan agreement, I paid my loan back. I
want a retro re pay of the loan that I
paid back. If we're now all of a sudden, there's
going to be instantaneous student loan forgiveness or a student
loan pause repayment, you know, how do you borrow money?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sign your name on the dotted line. You know what
you're doing at the time you take out the loan.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Why would you expect other people to be paying for
your education?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Now? What about people that go into the trades.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You know, now they're going to be paying for kids
to go to Georgetown and Vanderbilt and have it and
Ivy League schools and some of the top schools around
the country. I don't think that's fair to people that
go into the trades that we're going to pay for
their trade school education. Are we going to subsidize their
apprentice years program, which it met for many of these trades.
You know, you spend in five years as an apprentice,
(08:47):
you know, before you can become a journeyman, carpenter, or
a plumber or electrician or whatever it happens to be.
It marginally expands work requirements. Okay, that's something Joe Biden
didn't want to do, But you know, is it really onerous?
Not really funding to Biden's eighty billion dollar plan to
double the size of the IRS. This to me was
(09:10):
that that would have been non negotiable for me, that
we're going to double the size of the IRS. They
did manage to cut a small amount of it, what
one point four billion dollars, far crying from slashing it,
which is what the original you know limits save grow
bill of the Republicans were, although they're saying another twenty
billion can be repurposed in twenty twenty four, twenty five,
(09:33):
and maybe McCarthy can do something with that money. But
the provision does not appear in the text of the bill,
and some are saying they've agreed to it. But if
it's not in the text, you know what anybody's word
in Washington is worthless. You know, they're not the type
of people that most Americans are. I'm a handshake guy.
(09:54):
If I make a deal. I recently had a deal
that I did with somebody. I'm not going to tell
you the exact transaction, so i'm we make a deal.
It was something I was purchasing. And then at okay,
we all agree, let's write it up, put up a contract. Okay,
we've got an agreement in principle for me, the deal's over.
(10:16):
And they said, yeah, but we're gonna wait on signing it.
We want to we want to keep it on the
market and see if we can get more money. I walked,
I ran away, and.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I didn't take that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm not deal doing business with people like that. You
can't accept the deal. But yeah, in case somebody comes
in and offers me more money, you're not getting it.
That's not a deal. That's not honorable to me. You say, okay,
we got a deal. I'm selling you my tractor. I'm
selling you my F one fifty uh huh. Anyway, so
we you know, we have the best case scenario is
(10:51):
IRS's expansion. We'll still have an extra sixty billion dollars
to work with. Now, Hannity, why do you care well,
because that means that they're going to make your lives miserable.
The only person that's been honest that this is going
to impact most people in America that make under four
hundred thousand dollars a year was Janet Yellin. She probably
(11:12):
got yelled at, pun intended because she said what we
knew to be true to from the beginning. You know,
let me tell you about these rich people. They end
up hiring accountants and lawyers that know every single solitary
loophole that exists.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
How do I know that? Because I hire them.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Also, I have not one accounting firm, I have two
accounting firms that separately do my taxes. Then it's looked
over by a law firm because we know that my
file is going to be pulled every year. It's it's
standard operating procedure. Well, you're really entitled to this deduction,
mister Hannity, but you know, just so you know, this
(11:57):
is one of these areas that the IRS likes to,
you know, take a deeper dive look at I'm like,
pay it, just pay it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's not worth the hassle.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And then you end up paying more for lawyers on
the other side of it, So what's the point. So
for me, it's like they already go after me every year,
But for all of you that are not harassed by
the irs, every year, they'll start going after you. That's
what's gonna happen. And it just sucks for let me
tell you, it's just not fun and it's very expensive,
(12:27):
and you got to hire lawyers or you know, Rush
Tax Resolution dot Com is a great company that does it.
They won't even take your case unless they know that
they'll be successful for you. So, you know, I go
back to the deal that the Republicans passed. I could
I think that there was room for negotiation if they
look look, let me backtrack. The debt ceiling artificial deadline
(12:51):
of January of June fifth is crap. It's not true.
We're not gonna be We're not going to default on
June fifth, whether this deal is done or not. And
that's a big lie, and it creates the panic in Washington,
and both sides are deathly afraid that they're.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Going to get blamed.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The only one that I would blame would be Joe Biden,
who wouldn't negotiate in the beginning, met once disappeared for
ninety seven days, shows up at the last minute and
is demanding this, that and the other thing. And Okay,
now he's finally negotiating. But they had five months to
do this, So I really don't care about Joe Biden's
you know clock at this point anyway, And the left
(13:32):
hates it too. That's an interesting part of this. All right,
Just we roll along eight hundred nine point one Sean Hope.
Many of you are going to be with President Trump
tomorrow town hall outside of Des Moines, Iowa. We're doing
the radio show from an undisclosed location.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
We are, indeed.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, but still it's Iowa. You know, New York doesn't matter.
You're indoors, you're outdoors at all stinks. But in Iowa
it smells better.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You could be near a pig farm. I mean, I'm
not sure if you'd like the smell of that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Tell you something. If I was going to pick over
the crackheads on the sidewalk and pigs, I'm telling you
right now, I'm going for the pigs.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
But please come see us in Iowa because we're going
to be in Iowa tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
There are things that many Republicans are saying that they
like about the bill. I'm not saying everything's bad about it.
It's just that I think it could have been better,
and I think they had a better hand, and I
think I think there was a communication gap here. That's
that's got to be resolved if they're going to be
united a united Caucus and.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Be on the same page.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And that is you know, if you're negotiating with the
White House or Democrats, you got to know that they
never want anything that's going to make sense. Now. They
didn't want to negotiate at all. That's why Democrats are
furious at Biden. I'll get to that. On the other side,

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'll try and get an update by the end of
the show. You know, I find this pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
One of the most frustrating things to me is what
James Comy has gotten away with. If you look at Comy,
mccabstruck Page, all of them, they all end up becoming,
you know, getting richer as a result of what they
were involved in. And to me, it just is unfathomable.
(17:58):
I don't think anybody listening to my my voice right
now can go before any judge, never mind a PHISA judge,
which is supposed to be a difficult warrant to get
a hold of. Remember Deputy FBI Director McCabe said, well,
you don't get that PISA warrant approved without Hillary Clinton's
bought and paid for dirty dossier. They all knew what
(18:18):
was unverifiable. Durham report says, yet double standard of justice.
They treated Hillary one way, Trump another way. Crossfire Hurricane
or Operation Crossfire Hurricane never should have opened. And all
these people, they're writing books, they've got contributed deals with
fake news networks, they're getting paid basically to be full
(18:41):
time Trump hating people. And this just call me reacting
to the Durham Report on the FBI. Oh, there's always
going to be mistakes. And remember when he was before
Lindsay Graham's committee. Oh, knowing what I know now, I
wouldn't have signed three of the four PISA warrants. But
what we know now is that they knew then, they
knew it, and they didn't care. And here's the worst part.
(19:05):
There's no consequences. So why would anyone be surprised that
the FBI, you know, has Hunter's laptop in December of
twenty nineteen, verifies it, verifies the authenticity in the spring
of twenty twenty, and still sends FBI agents to every
big tech company in the months leading up to the
(19:26):
twenty twenty election and having weekly meetings with big tech
warning them they may be victims of misinformation campaigns from
foreign nations and it may be about Joe Biden or
even Hunter Biden, because that's what happened. If that's not
putting cinderblocks on the scale of an election, I don't
know what is.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh, there's always going to be mistakes, though, Oh, no
big deal. Do you acknowledge perhaps that some mistakes were
made along the way?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Oh definitely, and they were found four years ago by
the Inspector General. So there's nothing new in this new document.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Were some of those mistakes from your point of view.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Oh, that the FBI didn't communicate clearly the status of
certain sources, they didn't double check certain information before putting
it in a court application for a foreign intelligence wiretap,
and a bunch of others.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
And so do you believe now, as these some of
these politicians call for defunding of the FBI, that that
has been corrected and that now the procedures are in
place to avoid those kind of mistakes in the future.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I think so. But in complex investigations, there's always going
to be mistakes. It doesn't mean the FBI is incompetent, honest,
and independent.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, unfortunately, they seem to only be competent when they're
going after the political opposition. It's just it's just sad, uh,
you know, blaming trust for you know, anyone on to
blame Donald Trump, you know, for the growing distrust that
now exists with the FBI. You know, he's on Bake News,
(20:53):
CNN and polls showing Republicans rightly don't trust the FBI anymore.
I don't trust trust them anymore. We had my cousin
who served in the FBI, him and his brother. They
were deity when I was growing up, they were like, wow,
you know, they were at the top of the food
chain in my family, the most respected.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
They had made it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
This was the you know, creme de la creme, if
you will, anyway and anyway, what can be done to
change that? And what if it doesn't change and what happens?
And he says, well, I think largely because Donald Trump
and those around him have seen the FBI as a threat,
so they've taken a blow torch to try and tear
down that threat. No, the FBI has been politicized, and
(21:38):
Director Ray says, what we put in place measures to
change it. No, they didn't not enough, because if they
had put in place to changes what happened in twenty twenty.
As it relates to the FBI warning big tech companies,
they are solely responsible for the censorship of the Hunter
(21:59):
Biden laptop story because they're the ones that were meeting
weekly with the big tech companies.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
By the way, one House Republican now urging jail time
for Christopher Ray. Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the House
Freedom Caucus, told Just the News we can't press charges,
we could certainly refer charges and if Ray shows up
on Capitol Hill. If he shows up in the House Chamber,
he can certainly end up in the brig here. You know,
(22:29):
I think these are those are harsh words, but we
can't have this defiance, he said during a wide ranging interview.
The FBI formally refused to turn over to Congress an
investigative memo alleging a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden. Now
is what's known as the ten twenty three form, and
we have a whistleblower saying that it exposes a very
(22:49):
specific believed by Grassley and Comer to be credible whistleblower
saying that there exists evidence and testimony of an individual
that says that Joe Biden performs certain governmental acts in
exchange for family money.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, I think they have a right to see that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Now with the ten twenty three, maybe that needs to
be seen in private.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Maybe you don't want to make that public right now.
Maybe you know, we have to.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But did they even look into it, because they didn't
look into the Hunter Biden laptop. If that was Donald
Trump Junior's laptop, I promise you, if it was Eric
Trump's laptop, Laura Trump's laptop, Avanka Trump's laptop. I promise
you that it would be a very different story in
terms of the FBI's handling of this.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Now Republicans might hold Director Ray and contempt to Congress
apparently grassly. I've not gotten any of the details of
what happened in this meeting today, but they had a
phone call with Director Ray today. But the FBI continues
to shield records of conversations with and other groups that
are brought blocking the release of records of officials privately
(24:06):
advising Twitter employees how to thwart purported election mistinformation. Now,
if they're out there with having Hunter Biden's laptop authenticated,
and they're on record saying that, oh, the misinformation may
be about Hunter and that is a purely political abuse
of power act, people should be held accountable. That's why
(24:30):
people don't have faith in the FBI or equal justice
under the law, or equal applications of our laws.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Why should they?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know, Kevin McCarthy warning Director Ray that he'll face
contempt to Congress charges if he doesn't produce the FBI's
Biden bribery evidence by the end of yesterday. So I
guess that's going to happen, and Grassley and Johnson and
Comer want to know why McCabe call mey struck, Clin
Smith and others didn't cooperate with the Drham probe. How
(24:59):
did they get away with that?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But does does anybody really care about this? I mean,
that's the saddest part of all of this.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
One thing I want to say is the Republican primary
season now kicks off, and we'll kick off our town
hall series around the country, and well we'll get all
the candidates on, especially the top candidates.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Mike Pence, it was announced, is gonna apparently not make
his announcement next week. He's getting in the race, as
is Chris Christie expected to make an announcement next week.
You know, Chris CHRISTI is the only one I have
no interest in talking to, absolutely none, because he's made
it clear he has one agenda item for running for president,
and that is to bludgeon Donald Trump. That's not a
(25:45):
serious run for the presidency. And you know, this is
a guy, interestingly, you know, self righteous, sanctimonious the left
office with like a fifteen percent approval rating. You can't
get lower than fifteen percent. I think it's the lowest
I've ever seen, you know, but I've said this to
people before.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Nobody seems to believe me. Whoever.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
The Republican is and the medium mob and Democrats, you know,
they say, all right, well, we got Donald Trump, We've
we've slander him every second of every day. We're not
going to let DeSantis take root in any way. Over
at MSDNC, they you know, if you want to preview,
you know, they say, if you want to preview whether
(26:28):
the DeSantis administration would look like, look to Russia, China
and North Korea.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's NBC News.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Uh, you know the view over Sonny Houston, Billittle's you know,
white women, we'll get into this with Bill O'Reilly as
tools of their husbands, and they fall in line and
listen to their husbands. Okay, I don't know marriages like that,
to be honest, None that I can think of off
the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I know a couple they're called divorced.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, in the end of that's probably true. And anyway
DeSantis is fighting back against Trump. I might be just naive.
I've seen too many primaries. Doesn't get this ugly this early,
but this is going to be interesting to watch. He continues,
You know that Donald Trump and Ron are going to
(27:17):
have their battle. Has nothing to do to stop it.
But I'm telling you right now, if you want a
preview of coming attractions, you know it's over at d MSDNC.
You know, Trump is a unique threat, and the liberal
media declares DeSantis is even more dangerous than Trump. I mean,
what I've been telling you is it doesn't matter who
(27:39):
the Republican is, They're going to be a racist and
a sexist and a misogynist and a homophobe and a
xenophobe and an islamophobe and a transphobe that wants thirty
year in water for your children and wants your grandma
and grandpa put in a wheelchair and thrown over a
cliff and murdered. Because that is the playbook, one on
(28:01):
one every election season, and you'll watch it unfold, regardless
of who they may be up or down at any
given moment in a primary. You know it is You know,
if you to have people in the media actually declaring
the Santis more dangerous, if everyone is, if everyone is
the second coming of Hilton Hitler or fill in the
(28:24):
blank dictator from yesteryear, then No one is talking about
the Santas. I mean they they just they can't stand conservatives.
That's what it comes down to. Meanwhile, the economy's going
to absolute adam shift. Eighteen percent of Americans now say
they're satisfied with the way things are going. Okay, who
(28:45):
are the eighteen percent, because they're eighteen percent of the
dumbest group of Americans that are out there.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Fifteen percent, they're part of the fifteen percent supporting Chris Christy.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's true too. That might be it, John Kerry. They're
now coming for your burgers on the fourth of July.
They're now saying, you know, he won't refer to this
as climate change. It's now going to be forever called
the climate crisis. He's targeting agriculture as part of his
climate crusade. A guy that's flown around in private jets
(29:17):
for decades. Really, we're gonna get lecture from him about
eating beef and about farming. We have we have we
feed the entire world, for crying out loud, and we
have mastered the science of agriculture, and you want to
destroy it because of carbon emissions and tell us what
to eat because we're not eating properly according to you know,
(29:41):
these crazy people, the squad Democrats are demanding us stop
oil drilling or face severe weather events. Oh okay, this
is why this country's going right down the tubes.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And here's the worst part. I don't have a lot
of confidence in twenty twenty four yet. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I'm not sure people are suffering enough, and I'm worried
about the you know, a couple of things. One is
this mass migration, accelerated migration as I call it. What's
accelerated migration? People leaving swing states like Pennsylvania in droves,
and the majority that are leaving are conservative. The majority
(30:23):
that are leaving Wisconsin and Michigan are conservative. The majority
leaving you know, well, Arizona's got a unique problem because
Californians are moving and left and right, and they're bringing
their idiotic policies with them. Same thing with Texas. I
do almost have a political litmus test before you even consider,
you know, state citizenship for some of these people. I'm kidding,
(30:46):
of course, because the left has no sense of humor.
If you're going to move to a red state, keep
your dopey, dumb liberal voting record behind or don't bother
because you're going to ruin the state that you're going to,
like the state that you left and fled Verizon at
and TT Mobile if you're with them, Look, bottom line
(31:06):
is you are overpaying. You can get the exact same

Speaker 1 (31:55):

Dial pound two fifty, keyword save now unlimited talk, text

Speaker 5 (32:12):
John Hannity, all right, So Chinese spies caught trying to
infiltrate US military bases in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Uh, what's Joe gonna do? Probably the same thing he
did with the spy balloon. We had a Chinese fighter
jet buzzing by US Air Force plane. What's Joe gonna do?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Defense Secretary of Austin asked to meet with his counterpart
in China. They told him to go. They gave him
the middle finger and told him to drop dead. What's
Joe gonna do? You know, what's he gonna do about
Vladimir Putin? Probably nothing? I mean it is. It is
beyond humiliating how China is just shoving it right in
his face and they don't care.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
It's obvious they have no fear of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
By the way, North Korea launched their first spit spice satellite.
They crashed and burned, thankfully. I do like the Ukrainians
bomb Moscow, you know what, let them feel a little
bit of the pain of what they've been doing an
innocent sovereign country. I'm not saying Europe doesn't need to
step up. Don't misunderstand UH and any simulated attack China
(33:22):
destroys our navy.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh, that's not aggressive at all.
