Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News, Round of Information, overload hour toll free.
(00:02):
Here's our number. It's eight hundred and nine to four
one sean if you want to be a part of
the program. All right. China today responded to reciprocal tariffs
that Donald Trump has put on them. And then, by
the way, and James, you can grab me the list.
The list of products that China imposes tarifs on is
absolutely positively massive. It's almost every single product that we sell. Now,
(00:29):
China wants to access to American markets and our population.
And you know what they also use, you know, pretty
much slave labor. They got their sweatshops up and running
where they pay people next to nothing in China, and
they treat them horribly. They treat their workers horribly. And
if that's the case, if they want to if they
want to have a battle of the tariffs and they
(00:52):
want to play chicken with Donald Trump, it's not going
to work out. Well. Does that mean that maybe some
prices on some items might temporarily go up? Yeah, till
Americans figure out that Donald Trump is going to give
them major incentives to build manufacturing centers here in this country,
maybe not tax them at all or make them one
hundred percent deductible the cost of building it, which will
(01:13):
be great for manufacturing and great for American workers. Who
is they're going to have high paying career jobs in
all of these industries, from Apple to semiconductors and the
Taiwanese chip company and ai and auto manufacturing, et cetera.
You know, they in China, Just to give you an extent,
China raise their tariffs in twenty nineteen sixty billion dollars
(01:36):
on US products, sixty billion that includes raising products are
more than five thousand items as high as twenty five percent.
Now they're going to raise it another thirty four percent,
which means that we'll be able to sell nothing in China.
But guess what, They're not going to be able to
sell anything here either. I mean everything. It impacts every
(01:59):
single industry building materials, food that includes spirits and leather
goods and clothing, and automobiles and fertilizer, and you name it, telecommunications, equipment, television,
broadcast cameras, sailboats, motor boats, yachts, you name it. They're
(02:22):
putting massive tariffs on it. And chicken and pork and
soy and beef. They're hurting our ranchers. They're hurting our
farm farmers, They're hurting our auto manufacturers, they're hurting everybody.
I don't give a flying rip about the communist Chinese. Now,
the interesting thing is, and I know Wall Street's skittish,
I'm telling you what's going to happen is we already
(02:44):
have nearly five trillion dollars committed because of the threat,
just prior to the announcement earlier this week, just because
of the threat of tariffs, you have five trillion dollars
committed between foreign countries and American industry, including Apple's five
hundred billion dollars, including the Taiwanese chip company, including Nissan
(03:06):
and Honda, that we're going to build plants in Mexico,
that are now going to build them right here in
the USA and create high paying career jobs for Americans. Democrats,
all of them, We've been playing all week. Janet Yelling
and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Husain Obama
all have been saying the same thing. And you know what,
(03:26):
I'm just tired of hearing it. Let's go back to
what Donald Trump said about tariffs that China has levied
on us. He said this on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
China first row China sixty seven percent. That's tariffs charged
to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers, So
sixty seven percent. I think you can for the most
part see it. So sixty seven percent. So we're going
to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent.
(03:55):
I think. In other words, they charge us, we charge him,
we charge m les. So how can any be upset?
They will be because we never charged anybody anything, but
now we're going to charge It was only seven years
ago when I came in. We started with China charged
that we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from
(04:16):
China in tariffs, and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood. He said, look,
I understand, and the other countries and they all understand.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
We're gonna have to go.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Through a little tough love maybe, but they all understand
they're ripping us off, and they understood it.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You have two choices. America continues to get ripped off
and being taken advantage of, and we go the institutional way.
It's sort of like, you know, if you're a conservative
maga republican versus an institutionalized rhino. You don't want to
(04:53):
rock the boat on anything. And that's been the that
has been the posture of the US for fifty years,
but it has always been the posture of the Democratic Party.
I mentioned Janet Yale, and I mentioned Obama. I mentioned Schumer.
Just there as a reminder, here's Pelosi advocating for teriffs.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
In terms of tariffs, I think it's interesting to note
that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming
into the United States is two percent, whereas the average
Chinese to MFF tariff on US goods going into China
is thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal? You have a
serious threat not only to our relationship but to the
(05:33):
industrialized world. And if there's one message that I want
our colleagues to understand today and our constituents, is that
on this day, your member of Congress could have drawn
the line to say to the President of the United
States do something about this US China trade relationship. That
is a job loser for the United States.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh, very different conversation anyway. Gordon Chang is with us,
author of the book The Coming Collapse of China and
the Great US China Tech War. Welcome to the program.
I am fed up as an American that our country
is being taken advantage of by friends and foe alike.
I am fed up being a sucker nation. I am
(06:13):
fed up with old school thinking. And I applaud the President.
And it has reaped a lot of dividends in terms
of commitments for investments and trillions and trillions of dollars.
And I guarantee you most of these countries are going
to come crawling back to the table because they want
access to our markets. If people could just hold the
(06:34):
line and stay patient, you know, for more than forty
eight hours, for crying out.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Loud, You're absolutely right, Sean. The important point here is
that if you drive through the Sound southern communities, if
you drive through Detroit, you will see American communities that
have been devastated by the loss of factories to China
and other countries. And the loss of those factories was
because of policies not only in the nineteen nineties when
(07:00):
you played that Nancy Pelosi clip, but also after China
joined the World Trade Organization in late two thousand and one.
And you're absolutely right. We have in China slave labor
wigers Kazakhs and other Turkic minorities, in addition to hand
Chinese working in horrific Christian conditions. We can't ask American
(07:22):
workers to compete against slave labor. As matter of fact,
I remember eighteen sixty we fought a war over labor practices.
We cannot allow slaves to compete with Americans. We have
to reindustrialize our country.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So I am so.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Happy that you have talked about this in such meaningful terms.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well it's meaningful. I mean, there really are two options.
Either we continue to allow countries to take advantage of us,
abuse our friendship. In the case of allies, you know,
I expect it from foes like China. I expect them
from Russia. I expect them from Iran and maybe North Korea.
I don't expect it from Japan, don't I don't expect
it from Canada, I don't expect it from from European countries.
(08:07):
Almost all the countries that I mentioned benefit from American security,
an American investment in national defense, and are counting on
us if that moment ever comes comes in there in
our lifetime that they need help. And yet they're abusing
American taxpayers. So we either let them continue to basically
(08:28):
rop from us, or we take a stand and say
your choice, free affair trade or reciprocal tariffs. I don't
think you can get any more fair than that. That's
not a complicated concept. You don't need to graduate from
Harvard or MIT to figure that out.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, but if you graduate from Harvard or m I
T or you go to Georgetown, basically you're becoming stupid
because you're learning all sorts of things that make no
sense in the real world. They only make sense if
you go to Harvard, Yale, or Georgetown. So absolutely, we
need to have reciprocal tariffs. We need to reindustrialize, and
(09:05):
let's not be intimidated by Wall Street or the Chinese
for that matter. You started by talking about the thirty
four percent terriffs that the Chinese imposed on us. Look,
they've got a smaller economy. Their economy is less than
two thirds the size of ours, and they're the trade
surplus country. Last year, China ran a merchandised trade surplus
(09:26):
against the United States of two hundred and ninety five
point four billion dollars. Trade surplus countries and trade wars
have no ammunition. President Trump will win this unless he's
intimidated by Wall Street, and I'm sure he will not be.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He talked about this when he gave a speech on Wednesday.
He said, there will be short term pain. We know
that Wall Street is notoriously skittish. We've witnessed it the
last two days.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Is it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Is it a little bit of short term pain?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Do I think it's going to reverse itself, probably a
lot sooner than people are predicting.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I do.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Do I believe all these people, these naysayers, are going
to have egg on their face when the money starts
pouring in. Yes, I do do. I have a strong
faith that these countries desperately want access to American markets,
and the outcry from manufacturers abroad is going to be loud,
and those countries are going to be pressured into making
a free and fair trade deal with the US. That's
(10:24):
all going to happen. That's going to percolate up to
the surface, and America just has to for this interim
period of time. I don't think it's going to be
longer than a week or two. Just suck it up.
Understand how markets work. This is institutional change, and it's
a little bit of a shock to the system. But
once people grow accustomed to the new way of doing things,
(10:48):
then they're going to see the benefits of.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It, absolutely, And I don't think the pain will be
as great as people say. If we go back to
President Trump's first round of tariffs on China in twenty eighteen,
China absorbed somewhere between seventy five to eighty one percent
of the cost of those tariffs. Although you had a
lot of smart people in New York and Washington just
wail about how there would be inflation with those twenty
(11:12):
eighteen tariffs, it didn't happen, Sean. And this time China
has even more incentive to absorb the President Trump's tariffs,
and they already are doing so from anecdotal information that
we are hearing from trade specialists. So I think, yes,
there will be pain, but this is necessary because we've
had decades of misguided trade policy. But the pain is
(11:36):
not going to be as bad as everyone thinks, because
everyone needs access to the world's best market and that's ours.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That's so well said. All right, quick break more with
Gordon Chang on the other side. Toll free number is
eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean if you want
to be a part of the program, continue now with
Gordon Shang, who is with us talking about China and
they want a tariff fight with the US. Fine, let's
say let's have the terrify. They need access to our
markets big time. You know, I've always said on this
(12:07):
program that the stock market is not my barometer in
terms of the health of the economy. Austin Goulsby even
said the economy is really strong right now. And he's
not exactly a supply side conservative in terms of his thinking.
He was used to be on the Council of Economic
Advisors for Barack Obama. For crying out loud, I've had
(12:29):
many a fight with him over economic issues over the years.
I end up being right most of the time. But
he's actually a good guy with a great personality, and
he is not wrong this time when he says the
economies and the fundamentals of the economies are strong.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We do have economic news that came out today. Most
of it is very good and in case people are
watching or listening to this program, you know, first of all,
nobody was howling it with this feigned outrage when Joe
Biden Barack Obama imposed tariffs. Joe Biden imposed them on
Mexico and China and Russia and other countries. Obama did
(13:07):
the same. Nobody's paying attention to the fact that oil
prices now have dropped to the lowest level since twenty
twenty one. Nobody's paying attention or seems to care that.
While the Democrats and the legacy media mob is screaming
about Wall Street that in their most recent survey, the
trade group pointed out that consumer spending is not unraveling.
(13:28):
The National Retail Federation reported two days ago that it
expects twenty twenty five retail sales the top five point
four trillion dollars growing anywhere between two point seven and
three point seven percent, well above what they sold in
twenty twenty four. Online sales can rise as much as
nine percent. The US economy added more jobs at a
(13:49):
faster pace in March. I would call that the Trump
effect and his policies even are not even in place yet.
So there's a lot of good economic news today, But
of course that doesn't you know, if it bleeds, it leads.
If it's negative, they want to and it's Trump involved,
they want to be negative.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
One of the great things about the March job report
is that there was an increase in private sector jobs.
If you go back in the Biden administration, there were
increases in employment months a month, but those were government jobs.
And the last thing that we need is a larger government,
because the federal government is far too big for the
(14:27):
United States at this moment. President Trump is changing that.
It's going to be painful, but having private sector jobs
is the only path to endure in prosperity.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, no doubt about it anyway, Gordon saying, do you
really think that China's going to collapse?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
I think that China right now is panicking because they're
only hope to rescue a grim situation. They're not growing,
They're probably at zero or below. Their only hope is
to export more to the United States, and that ain't happening.
So yes, I think that they're in real dire I've
been wrong about timing, you know, But nonetheless we can
(15:04):
see it coming because the Chinese system is not sustainable.
It is only survived because we allow, through indulgent policies
to buy Chinese goods made under horrible conditions. You know,
I'm very glad you played that Nancy Pelosi clip. Because
she was right, then Bill Clinton was wrong. We should
not have allowed China into the global trading system.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Appreciate you. Gordon Chang eight hundred and ninety four one
Shawn talking about being made in America. If there's one
thing that you need to own that's made in America,
I don't think the American flag is appropriate. You don't
really want to buy your American flag that's made in China. Anyway.
Every Allegiance flag is hand sewn by craftsmen and women
(15:47):
in Charleston, South Carolina. Every single component from the white
ash flagpole to the spinners to the mounts, they were
all sourced right here in America. So when you buy
an Allegiance flag, you're supporting American job, You're supporting an
American business. And the cool story is it's it's quintessentially American,
started by three guys in their garage, three fronts. You
(16:08):
just go to their website, Show Allegiance dot com one word,
Show Allegiance dot Com and experience the difference of an
American made flag. If you use the promo code Hannity,
you're going to get free shipping, all right. That's show
Allegiance dot Com and under the promo code Hannity at
checkout for American flags, just like the one I'm going
(16:29):
to be putting up this weekend, made the American Way.
We'll continue.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
You're on the Sean Hannity Show, a place where free
speech and the First Amendment are still alive and well
get your dose of independence and liberty every weekday right
here with Sean Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight
hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number of this Friday.
If you want to be a part of the program,
I will tip my hat to Congressional Republicans as they
now try to codify President Trump's maximum pressure campaign against
Iran with a ten bill legislative package that would sanction
(17:15):
the leadership in Tehran, the Mullas of Iran that's going
to cut off its access to cash, strangle the regime's
regional terror proxies. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the
toughest Iranian sanctions package ever proposed by Congress, according to
the Republican Study Committee, the House's largest GOP caucus, which
is leading the effort. So we'll see what happens. I
(17:38):
hope they do, and I'll tell you. Why, because you
have tens and tens of thousands of Israelis that have
been displaced, and if it were not for the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews, we have proudly partnered with them.
They have been on the ground since day one on
October seventh, helping people with humanitarian assistants. Because of your
(17:59):
general it's been eighteen months. This country has been fighting
for its survival against radical Islamic terrorists eighteen months. And
with your continued support, they're going to be able to
provide all that humanitarian assistance. But they do so much more.
They provide these mobile bomb shelters, armed security vehicles, ambulances,
(18:20):
firefighting equipment, flack jackets, bulletproof vests, so much more. But
your generous donation is desperately needed to ensure that the
people of Israel are safe as they now fight for
their very existence. This is a real war against radical Islamis.
It's really like a seven front war that they've been battling. Anyway,
Please go to their website. It SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's
(18:41):
one word, SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. They have a toll free
number its eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight
eight eight four eight eight, IFCJ two day, and your
gift is greatly appreciated. It really is and desperately needed.
After Butler pa friend of the program. He's the editor
of Breitbart, John conn Uh. He also is a musical artist,
(19:06):
and he came up with the song. It became the
number one in every genre on every music chart. And
he has a new he has a new song I
will tell you about in a second. But the song
was called Fighter, and it went so viral that he
actually went on the road. Like Lee Greenwood was singing
God Bless the USA, he was singing Fighter at Trump
(19:27):
events throughout the campaign. And you know, I've said this
many times that I'm I'm in the communication business. I
do radio and I do television, but I don't think
it's the most powerful form of communication. I would argue
movies and music. You know, I don't make well, maybe Linda,
I might make you cry occasionally. I might make liberals
(19:48):
cry occasionally, but I don't make you cry. I don't
make I don't. I don't make I don't. I don't
make Linda cry. For the records, just for the records.
I'm like everything He's gonna be writing in like what's
going on Kennedy makes Linda Croye. If you're not can
hear that tomorrow? Like all right, it's gonna blow up
over the week out instead of people going to Hannity
(20:09):
dot com clicking on the Tesla contest and putting in
the word of the day Sean. And you can register
today tomorrow, on Sunday, uh and every day through April
the eleventh. And I'll pick one lucky what we'll pick
one lucky winner. I won't pick it, and well I
will buy them at Tesla just to show solidarity with
a lawn. Anyway, our friend John con that song went
(20:29):
number one. He has a new song out about faith,
which has carried him through the anti Semitism, the Palisades fires,
the loss of his home. So, by the way, they've
allowed four building permits in the area around the Pacific
Palisades for people to rebuild.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And I'm told by friends of mine out there that
big companies like Blackrock are coming in and buying massive,
you know, amounts of plots of land because people don't
want to rebuild and then lose in a fortune. And
they're all having problems with their insurance companies. It's terrible. Anyway,
he also experienced the loss of his home to the fires.
His mom passed away. And you know, out of pain
(21:11):
sometimes comes great artistry, and that's what I would say
comes out of this new song. It's called Fingerprints. I
get goosebumps just here in that I got my fingerprints
on you. Anyway, John con I have no idea why
the bright Bart editor. You should be on the road
bringing your music and inspiring people. It's really interesting to
(21:32):
me because Fighter I kind of look at as more
of a country song, and this song obviously is a
song of faith and called Fingerprints, and it reminds me
a lot. And these are my two favorite music genres,
which is why I'm bringing those up country and I
love Christian contemporary music. By the way, I urge everybody
if you want to see the defining concert watch twenty
(21:55):
eighteen Michael W. Smith Bridgestone Arena. You could pull it
up on YouTube. But first of all, it's great to
have you back, number one. Number two. I'm so sorry
you lost your home. I'm so sorry about the passing
of your mom. When I read your post quote, I've
experienced tremendous loss recently, but in these past few years
(22:15):
I found something even greater, something I never anticipated. Faith.
It's never too late, and I hope this song reaches
even just a few who might believe otherwise. Wow, I'm
so sorry. You know, we all go through pain in life.
We all take our hits, and life can be really painful.
And out of your pain, clearly your art comes through.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Well. Thanks for having me, Sean. You know what's interesting
about these two songs, Sean, is that they kind of
predated these really rough events that have happened. For example,
Fighter that I wrote for President Trump, that was written
before the assassination attempt, when everybody thoughts I had written
it in response, and then, by.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
The way, count me among them. I thought that that's
a yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
And when so when he stood up and yelled fight, Fight, Fight,
you know, I got goosebumps all down my body because
you know, I wrote the song with a guy named
Chris Wong.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
We had it ready to go.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
I called him, I said, I think we need to
get this song out and Fingerprints, which was originally you
know I was. I didn't grow up with faith and
God in my family. I grew up in Godless La
which which you know about there and and just in
the past couple of years, I started exploring it and
Fingerprints was a musical exploration of that journey that I
was on. And after I wrote the song, of those
(23:33):
series of events that you mentioned happened, the loss of
my mom, I had a breakup with someone I was
living with. My dad fell and needed surgery, and then
my home burned down, and I still hadn't released the
song yet. And you know, once I got through the fires,
I thought to myself, you know, what better time to
release the song about faith than during a storm when
you're being tested. And that's why I released it just recently.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
How come people get these songs because and I would
assume you would go to your favorite know either what, Spotify, iTunes.
I don't even know all the places to go because
I have my kids do it for me. Literally, they
take my phone. They're like, Dad, i'll do it. I'll
do it. You're too slow.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
So right, well, there are all the streamers on iTunes
and Amazon, Spotify, and it's just Google or search John
con jln Kahn and you can find them or find
me on Instagram. Their links there. And I really appreciate
you having.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Me on Sehn.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, I'm just going to say to people, all of us,
and this transcends race, this transcends gender, this transcends you know,
whether you have money or you don't have money. Because
I've lived poor and now I'm a lot better off
than I was, it doesn't matter. Everyone has their atom
shift to deal with in this life, and life can
(24:48):
be hard. And for me, I go to the same
place you now go to, and that's to my faith,
that's to my belief in God. And you know, people
ask me all the time, why do you think you're successful.
I said, well, I work hard, but really the other
reason is I've been blessed by God. I really believe that.
And so yeah, I hope people will download it's it's
(25:11):
j o wn k a h n And just go
to wherever you download your music, and the first one
you want to download is Fighter. His newest song is
called Fingerprints, and it will inspire you.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
John.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We appreciate you, man, God bless you. And we'll put
it up on Hannidi dot com and we'll put it
out on social media.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Thank you so much, John, I appreciate it all right, man, And.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
We're praying for you too and your family. A lot
to go through. Man, you think you're having a tough
day today, think of what this guy has been through.
Let's go to ali var in Arizona. Oliver, how are
you glad you called, sir?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
It's a honor to talk to you. First time caller,
new listener. I've wanted to I'm experiencing this Trump derangement
syndrome first hand.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I wanted to share my story with you.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I get your advice. I have an older brother. He's
highly educated as a PhD in sociology. He's a professor,
a tenured he's well known in his field. He's published.
And when he found out that I voted for Trump,
he refused to be the best man in my wedding
and also to attend my wedding. And it took my
elderly mother begging him to attend the wedding and he
(26:17):
finally did. But things have never been the same since then.
He just has this emotional reaction and it's just it's
sad how these people, some people are reacting like that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well he could you know, some people get educated, and
he might be highly educated, but they get you know,
educated at all the common sense that they were born with.
All right, there are really two choices here for you,
and I have a preference of the two, but I'll
give you both. One is to not give an Adam schiff,
and this is his decision. You move on with your life.
You don't try to make contact with your brother. This
(26:48):
is on him, it's not on you. Your conscience is clear. Okay,
that's option one. Option two, which would be my preferred option,
would be stay in touch with your brother. Make sure
you make it very very clear to him that you
don't want politics to separate the two of you, that
you would agree not to talk politics with him if
that would make him feel better and wouldn't trigger his
(27:10):
his woke little you know backside. And you don't have
to say it that way, but say it in a
nice way, and that you're my brother. I want a
relationship with you. My door is always open. I'll check
in with you frequently, and I hope you change your
mind and just be very loving about it and don't
(27:32):
give up on your brother, and hope that it works
out one day. You know it looks there sometimes it
just here's just the reality. It doesn't matter if you're
a family member or not a family member. There's some
people in life you don't get along with. And then
there's the Christian side of me that says, you know what,
you know, pray for your brother and keep preaching out
to him and just just love him, even though he
(27:54):
doesn't obviously have the capacity at this moment and his
life to love you back. Which one do you think
you're going to go with?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I'm trying to go the more Christian side, but.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's a good you made the right You're not going
to regret that choice.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, it's just sad how these people have this emotional reaction,
and there is just sad.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He's my brother and he reacted that way.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Kind of makes me think back to the stories during
the Civil War era, where you know, brothers were fighting
against brothers.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I mean, this isn't quite that extreme, but it's just
it's just it's bad.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Let me ask you a question. Did somebody else become
your best man?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Is it somebody that you know you love and loves
your back, cares about you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
And then after I had him be the best man,
my mom talked to my brother into attending and he
did attend, and he was one of the grooms men.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
But it was just kind of very awkward, and yes
it is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I feel sorry for you, you know. I mean, you
want your brother to be a best man. He turns
you down. That's kind of a little bit of a blow.
But you're tougher than that. Uh, we'll pray for your brother.
Hopefully he has a change your heart.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Hi baby Trump, Trumper writer or die, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Let me tell no one's going to pressure me out
of the politics I believe in. And you know that
was one of the reasons I left New York. I
was hated. Now, Linda would give you very different advice.
Your advice would be tell them the f off, wouldn't
it be?
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Would I have.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Family members I don't talk to anymore because they decided
not to like me for my conservative beliefs.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I love to have a conversation. So you know, because
you associate with me too, they're not worth your time.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
How many people don't like you because you associate with me?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
You know?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
It's funny. That's actually gotten less. It's more just about
I'm not even kidding you. I think the overwhelming disgust
for Trump without you know, pun intendent kind of Trump's
the hate of everything else. Right, It's like, oh, you
like Trump?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You know we hate you. It's obscene. That was my
life in New York, which is so different from my
life today in the Free State of Florida. But I
ever mentioned I live in the Free State of Florida.
I think I mentioned it once or twice.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
I had no idea we should hit the breaking news sounder, bro.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I know, breaking news amazing now, it is amazing how
much coverage that. By the way, if I if I
walk down the street, I'm in the local paper. There's
nothing I can do. It's unreal. All Right, that's gonna
wrap things up for today. Busy Hannity tonight, nine eastern
(30:21):
on the Fox News Channel, Laura Trump, Horace Cooper, Miranda Devine,
doctor Ozy just got confirmed. You're gonna love Kyle from
the Full Sun podcast. Way do you see these videos?
I promise you'll have tears in your eyes and the
one and only Jimmy Fayla will put a smile on
your face. I promised this Friday night, as well as
the hard hitting news of the day you'll never get
(30:42):
from the legacy media mob. All happening tonight, nine Eastern
on Fox will see you tonight. Have a great weekend.
Back here Monday, ord of the day. Over the weekend,
you can register every day once a day now through
April eleventh. Is Sean
Speaker 4 (31:00):
And
All right, News, Round of Information, overload hour toll free.
(00:02):
Here's our number. It's eight hundred and nine to four
one sean if you want to be a part of
the program. All right. China today responded to reciprocal tariffs
that Donald Trump has put on them. And then, by
the way, and James, you can grab me the list.
The list of products that China imposes tarifs on is
absolutely positively massive. It's almost every single product that we sell. Now,
(00:29):
China wants to access to American markets and our population.
And you know what they also use, you know, pretty
much slave labor. They got their sweatshops up and running
where they pay people next to nothing in China, and
they treat them horribly. They treat their workers horribly. And
if that's the case, if they want to if they
want to have a battle of the tariffs and they
(00:52):
want to play chicken with Donald Trump, it's not going
to work out. Well. Does that mean that maybe some
prices on some items might temporarily go up? Yeah, till
Americans figure out that Donald Trump is going to give
them major incentives to build manufacturing centers here in this country,
maybe not tax them at all or make them one
hundred percent deductible the cost of building it, which will
(01:13):
be great for manufacturing and great for American workers. Who
is they're going to have high paying career jobs in
all of these industries, from Apple to semiconductors and the
Taiwanese chip company and ai and auto manufacturing, et cetera.
You know, they in China, Just to give you an extent,
China raise their tariffs in twenty nineteen sixty billion dollars
(01:36):
on US products, sixty billion that includes raising products are
more than five thousand items as high as twenty five percent.
Now they're going to raise it another thirty four percent,
which means that we'll be able to sell nothing in China.
But guess what, They're not going to be able to
sell anything here either. I mean everything. It impacts every
(01:59):
single industry building materials, food that includes spirits and leather
goods and clothing, and automobiles and fertilizer, and you name it, telecommunications, equipment, television,
broadcast cameras, sailboats, motor boats, yachts, you name it. They're
(02:22):
putting massive tariffs on it. And chicken and pork and
soy and beef. They're hurting our ranchers. They're hurting our
farm farmers, They're hurting our auto manufacturers, they're hurting everybody.
I don't give a flying rip about the communist Chinese. Now,
the interesting thing is, and I know Wall Street's skittish,
I'm telling you what's going to happen is we already
(02:44):
have nearly five trillion dollars committed because of the threat,
just prior to the announcement earlier this week, just because
of the threat of tariffs, you have five trillion dollars
committed between foreign countries and American industry, including Apple's five
hundred billion dollars, including the Taiwanese chip company, including Nissan
(03:06):
and Honda, that we're going to build plants in Mexico,
that are now going to build them right here in
the USA and create high paying career jobs for Americans. Democrats,
all of them, We've been playing all week. Janet Yelling
and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Husain Obama
all have been saying the same thing. And you know what,
(03:26):
I'm just tired of hearing it. Let's go back to
what Donald Trump said about tariffs that China has levied
on us. He said this on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
China first row China sixty seven percent. That's tariffs charged
to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers, So
sixty seven percent. I think you can for the most
part see it. So sixty seven percent. So we're going
to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent.
(03:55):
I think. In other words, they charge us, we charge him,
we charge m les. So how can any be upset?
They will be because we never charged anybody anything, but
now we're going to charge It was only seven years
ago when I came in. We started with China charged
that we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from
(04:16):
China in tariffs, and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood. He said, look,
I understand, and the other countries and they all understand.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
We're gonna have to go.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Through a little tough love maybe, but they all understand
they're ripping us off, and they understood it.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You have two choices. America continues to get ripped off
and being taken advantage of, and we go the institutional way.
It's sort of like, you know, if you're a conservative
maga republican versus an institutionalized rhino. You don't want to
(04:53):
rock the boat on anything. And that's been the that
has been the posture of the US for fifty years,
but it has always been the posture of the Democratic Party.
I mentioned Janet Yale, and I mentioned Obama. I mentioned Schumer.
Just there as a reminder, here's Pelosi advocating for teriffs.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
In terms of tariffs, I think it's interesting to note
that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming
into the United States is two percent, whereas the average
Chinese to MFF tariff on US goods going into China
is thirty five percent. Is that reciprocal? You have a
serious threat not only to our relationship but to the
(05:33):
industrialized world. And if there's one message that I want
our colleagues to understand today and our constituents, is that
on this day, your member of Congress could have drawn
the line to say to the President of the United
States do something about this US China trade relationship. That
is a job loser for the United States.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh, very different conversation anyway. Gordon Chang is with us,
author of the book The Coming Collapse of China and
the Great US China Tech War. Welcome to the program.
I am fed up as an American that our country
is being taken advantage of by friends and foe alike.
I am fed up being a sucker nation. I am
(06:13):
fed up with old school thinking. And I applaud the President.
And it has reaped a lot of dividends in terms
of commitments for investments and trillions and trillions of dollars.
And I guarantee you most of these countries are going
to come crawling back to the table because they want
access to our markets. If people could just hold the
(06:34):
line and stay patient, you know, for more than forty
eight hours, for crying out.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Loud, You're absolutely right, Sean. The important point here is
that if you drive through the Sound southern communities, if
you drive through Detroit, you will see American communities that
have been devastated by the loss of factories to China
and other countries. And the loss of those factories was
because of policies not only in the nineteen nineties when
(07:00):
you played that Nancy Pelosi clip, but also after China
joined the World Trade Organization in late two thousand and one.
And you're absolutely right. We have in China slave labor
wigers Kazakhs and other Turkic minorities, in addition to hand
Chinese working in horrific Christian conditions. We can't ask American
(07:22):
workers to compete against slave labor. As matter of fact,
I remember eighteen sixty we fought a war over labor practices.
We cannot allow slaves to compete with Americans. We have
to reindustrialize our country.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So I am so.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Happy that you have talked about this in such meaningful terms.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well it's meaningful. I mean, there really are two options.
Either we continue to allow countries to take advantage of us,
abuse our friendship. In the case of allies, you know,
I expect it from foes like China. I expect them
from Russia. I expect them from Iran and maybe North Korea.
I don't expect it from Japan, don't I don't expect
it from Canada, I don't expect it from from European countries.
(08:07):
Almost all the countries that I mentioned benefit from American security,
an American investment in national defense, and are counting on
us if that moment ever comes comes in there in
our lifetime that they need help. And yet they're abusing
American taxpayers. So we either let them continue to basically
(08:28):
rop from us, or we take a stand and say
your choice, free affair trade or reciprocal tariffs. I don't
think you can get any more fair than that. That's
not a complicated concept. You don't need to graduate from
Harvard or MIT to figure that out.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, but if you graduate from Harvard or m I
T or you go to Georgetown, basically you're becoming stupid
because you're learning all sorts of things that make no
sense in the real world. They only make sense if
you go to Harvard, Yale, or Georgetown. So absolutely, we
need to have reciprocal tariffs. We need to reindustrialize, and
(09:05):
let's not be intimidated by Wall Street or the Chinese
for that matter. You started by talking about the thirty
four percent terriffs that the Chinese imposed on us. Look,
they've got a smaller economy. Their economy is less than
two thirds the size of ours, and they're the trade
surplus country. Last year, China ran a merchandised trade surplus
(09:26):
against the United States of two hundred and ninety five
point four billion dollars. Trade surplus countries and trade wars
have no ammunition. President Trump will win this unless he's
intimidated by Wall Street, and I'm sure he will not be.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He talked about this when he gave a speech on Wednesday.
He said, there will be short term pain. We know
that Wall Street is notoriously skittish. We've witnessed it the
last two days.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Is it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Is it a little bit of short term pain?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Do I think it's going to reverse itself, probably a
lot sooner than people are predicting.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I do.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Do I believe all these people, these naysayers, are going
to have egg on their face when the money starts
pouring in. Yes, I do do. I have a strong
faith that these countries desperately want access to American markets,
and the outcry from manufacturers abroad is going to be loud,
and those countries are going to be pressured into making
a free and fair trade deal with the US. That's
(10:24):
all going to happen. That's going to percolate up to
the surface, and America just has to for this interim
period of time. I don't think it's going to be
longer than a week or two. Just suck it up.
Understand how markets work. This is institutional change, and it's
a little bit of a shock to the system. But
once people grow accustomed to the new way of doing things,
(10:48):
then they're going to see the benefits of.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It, absolutely, And I don't think the pain will be
as great as people say. If we go back to
President Trump's first round of tariffs on China in twenty eighteen,
China absorbed somewhere between seventy five to eighty one percent
of the cost of those tariffs. Although you had a
lot of smart people in New York and Washington just
wail about how there would be inflation with those twenty
(11:12):
eighteen tariffs, it didn't happen, Sean. And this time China
has even more incentive to absorb the President Trump's tariffs,
and they already are doing so from anecdotal information that
we are hearing from trade specialists. So I think, yes,
there will be pain, but this is necessary because we've
had decades of misguided trade policy. But the pain is
(11:36):
not going to be as bad as everyone thinks, because
everyone needs access to the world's best market and that's ours.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That's so well said. All right, quick break more with
Gordon Chang on the other side. Toll free number is
eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean if you want
to be a part of the program, continue now with
Gordon Shang, who is with us talking about China and
they want a tariff fight with the US. Fine, let's
say let's have the terrify. They need access to our
markets big time. You know, I've always said on this
(12:07):
program that the stock market is not my barometer in
terms of the health of the economy. Austin Goulsby even
said the economy is really strong right now. And he's
not exactly a supply side conservative in terms of his thinking.
He was used to be on the Council of Economic
Advisors for Barack Obama. For crying out loud, I've had
(12:29):
many a fight with him over economic issues over the years.
I end up being right most of the time. But
he's actually a good guy with a great personality, and
he is not wrong this time when he says the
economies and the fundamentals of the economies are strong.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We do have economic news that came out today. Most
of it is very good and in case people are
watching or listening to this program, you know, first of all,
nobody was howling it with this feigned outrage when Joe
Biden Barack Obama imposed tariffs. Joe Biden imposed them on
Mexico and China and Russia and other countries. Obama did
(13:07):
the same. Nobody's paying attention to the fact that oil
prices now have dropped to the lowest level since twenty
twenty one. Nobody's paying attention or seems to care that.
While the Democrats and the legacy media mob is screaming
about Wall Street that in their most recent survey, the
trade group pointed out that consumer spending is not unraveling.
(13:28):
The National Retail Federation reported two days ago that it
expects twenty twenty five retail sales the top five point
four trillion dollars growing anywhere between two point seven and
three point seven percent, well above what they sold in
twenty twenty four. Online sales can rise as much as
nine percent. The US economy added more jobs at a
(13:49):
faster pace in March. I would call that the Trump
effect and his policies even are not even in place yet.
So there's a lot of good economic news today, But
of course that doesn't you know, if it bleeds, it leads.
If it's negative, they want to and it's Trump involved,
they want to be negative.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
One of the great things about the March job report
is that there was an increase in private sector jobs.
If you go back in the Biden administration, there were
increases in employment months a month, but those were government jobs.
And the last thing that we need is a larger government,
because the federal government is far too big for the
(14:27):
United States at this moment. President Trump is changing that.
It's going to be painful, but having private sector jobs
is the only path to endure in prosperity.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, no doubt about it anyway, Gordon saying, do you
really think that China's going to collapse?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
I think that China right now is panicking because they're
only hope to rescue a grim situation. They're not growing,
They're probably at zero or below. Their only hope is
to export more to the United States, and that ain't happening.
So yes, I think that they're in real dire I've
been wrong about timing, you know, But nonetheless we can
(15:04):
see it coming because the Chinese system is not sustainable.
It is only survived because we allow, through indulgent policies
to buy Chinese goods made under horrible conditions. You know,
I'm very glad you played that Nancy Pelosi clip. Because
she was right, then Bill Clinton was wrong. We should
not have allowed China into the global trading system.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Appreciate you. Gordon Chang eight hundred and ninety four one
Shawn talking about being made in America. If there's one
thing that you need to own that's made in America,
I don't think the American flag is appropriate. You don't
really want to buy your American flag that's made in China. Anyway.
Every Allegiance flag is hand sewn by craftsmen and women
(15:47):
in Charleston, South Carolina. Every single component from the white
ash flagpole to the spinners to the mounts, they were
all sourced right here in America. So when you buy
an Allegiance flag, you're supporting American job, You're supporting an
American business. And the cool story is it's it's quintessentially American,
started by three guys in their garage, three fronts. You
(16:08):
just go to their website, Show Allegiance dot com one word,
Show Allegiance dot Com and experience the difference of an
American made flag. If you use the promo code Hannity,
you're going to get free shipping, all right. That's show
Allegiance dot Com and under the promo code Hannity at
checkout for American flags, just like the one I'm going
(16:29):
to be putting up this weekend, made the American Way.
We'll continue.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
You're on the Sean Hannity Show, a place where free
speech and the First Amendment are still alive and well
get your dose of independence and liberty every weekday right
here with Sean Hi.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight
hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number of this Friday.
If you want to be a part of the program,
I will tip my hat to Congressional Republicans as they
now try to codify President Trump's maximum pressure campaign against
Iran with a ten bill legislative package that would sanction
(17:15):
the leadership in Tehran, the Mullas of Iran that's going
to cut off its access to cash, strangle the regime's
regional terror proxies. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the
toughest Iranian sanctions package ever proposed by Congress, according to
the Republican Study Committee, the House's largest GOP caucus, which
is leading the effort. So we'll see what happens. I
(17:38):
hope they do, and I'll tell you. Why, because you
have tens and tens of thousands of Israelis that have
been displaced, and if it were not for the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews, we have proudly partnered with them.
They have been on the ground since day one on
October seventh, helping people with humanitarian assistants. Because of your
(17:59):
general it's been eighteen months. This country has been fighting
for its survival against radical Islamic terrorists eighteen months. And
with your continued support, they're going to be able to
provide all that humanitarian assistance. But they do so much more.
They provide these mobile bomb shelters, armed security vehicles, ambulances,
(18:20):
firefighting equipment, flack jackets, bulletproof vests, so much more. But
your generous donation is desperately needed to ensure that the
people of Israel are safe as they now fight for
their very existence. This is a real war against radical Islamis.
It's really like a seven front war that they've been battling. Anyway,
Please go to their website. It SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's
(18:41):
one word, SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. They have a toll free
number its eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight
eight eight four eight eight, IFCJ two day, and your
gift is greatly appreciated. It really is and desperately needed.
After Butler pa friend of the program. He's the editor
of Breitbart, John conn Uh. He also is a musical artist,
(19:06):
and he came up with the song. It became the
number one in every genre on every music chart. And
he has a new he has a new song I
will tell you about in a second. But the song
was called Fighter, and it went so viral that he
actually went on the road. Like Lee Greenwood was singing
God Bless the USA, he was singing Fighter at Trump
(19:27):
events throughout the campaign. And you know, I've said this
many times that I'm I'm in the communication business. I
do radio and I do television, but I don't think
it's the most powerful form of communication. I would argue
movies and music. You know, I don't make well, maybe Linda,
I might make you cry occasionally. I might make liberals
(19:48):
cry occasionally, but I don't make you cry. I don't
make I don't. I don't make I don't. I don't
make Linda cry. For the records, just for the records.
I'm like everything He's gonna be writing in like what's
going on Kennedy makes Linda Croye. If you're not can
hear that tomorrow? Like all right, it's gonna blow up
over the week out instead of people going to Hannity
(20:09):
dot com clicking on the Tesla contest and putting in
the word of the day Sean. And you can register
today tomorrow, on Sunday, uh and every day through April
the eleventh. And I'll pick one lucky what we'll pick
one lucky winner. I won't pick it, and well I
will buy them at Tesla just to show solidarity with
a lawn. Anyway, our friend John con that song went
(20:29):
number one. He has a new song out about faith,
which has carried him through the anti Semitism, the Palisades fires,
the loss of his home. So, by the way, they've
allowed four building permits in the area around the Pacific
Palisades for people to rebuild.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And I'm told by friends of mine out there that
big companies like Blackrock are coming in and buying massive,
you know, amounts of plots of land because people don't
want to rebuild and then lose in a fortune. And
they're all having problems with their insurance companies. It's terrible. Anyway,
he also experienced the loss of his home to the fires.
His mom passed away. And you know, out of pain
(21:11):
sometimes comes great artistry, and that's what I would say
comes out of this new song. It's called Fingerprints. I
get goosebumps just here in that I got my fingerprints
on you. Anyway, John con I have no idea why
the bright Bart editor. You should be on the road
bringing your music and inspiring people. It's really interesting to
(21:32):
me because Fighter I kind of look at as more
of a country song, and this song obviously is a
song of faith and called Fingerprints, and it reminds me
a lot. And these are my two favorite music genres,
which is why I'm bringing those up country and I
love Christian contemporary music. By the way, I urge everybody
if you want to see the defining concert watch twenty
(21:55):
eighteen Michael W. Smith Bridgestone Arena. You could pull it
up on YouTube. But first of all, it's great to
have you back, number one. Number two. I'm so sorry
you lost your home. I'm so sorry about the passing
of your mom. When I read your post quote, I've
experienced tremendous loss recently, but in these past few years
(22:15):
I found something even greater, something I never anticipated. Faith.
It's never too late, and I hope this song reaches
even just a few who might believe otherwise. Wow, I'm
so sorry. You know, we all go through pain in life.
We all take our hits, and life can be really painful.
And out of your pain, clearly your art comes through.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Well. Thanks for having me, Sean. You know what's interesting
about these two songs, Sean, is that they kind of
predated these really rough events that have happened. For example,
Fighter that I wrote for President Trump, that was written
before the assassination attempt, when everybody thoughts I had written
it in response, and then, by.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
The way, count me among them. I thought that that's
a yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
And when so when he stood up and yelled fight, Fight, Fight,
you know, I got goosebumps all down my body because
you know, I wrote the song with a guy named
Chris Wong.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
We had it ready to go.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
I called him, I said, I think we need to
get this song out and Fingerprints, which was originally you
know I was. I didn't grow up with faith and
God in my family. I grew up in Godless La
which which you know about there and and just in
the past couple of years, I started exploring it and
Fingerprints was a musical exploration of that journey that I
was on. And after I wrote the song, of those
(23:33):
series of events that you mentioned happened, the loss of
my mom, I had a breakup with someone I was
living with. My dad fell and needed surgery, and then
my home burned down, and I still hadn't released the
song yet. And you know, once I got through the fires,
I thought to myself, you know, what better time to
release the song about faith than during a storm when
you're being tested. And that's why I released it just recently.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
How come people get these songs because and I would
assume you would go to your favorite know either what, Spotify, iTunes.
I don't even know all the places to go because
I have my kids do it for me. Literally, they
take my phone. They're like, Dad, i'll do it. I'll
do it. You're too slow.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
So right, well, there are all the streamers on iTunes
and Amazon, Spotify, and it's just Google or search John
con jln Kahn and you can find them or find
me on Instagram. Their links there. And I really appreciate
you having.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Me on Sehn.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Well, I'm just going to say to people, all of us,
and this transcends race, this transcends gender, this transcends you know,
whether you have money or you don't have money. Because
I've lived poor and now I'm a lot better off
than I was, it doesn't matter. Everyone has their atom
shift to deal with in this life, and life can
(24:48):
be hard. And for me, I go to the same
place you now go to, and that's to my faith,
that's to my belief in God. And you know, people
ask me all the time, why do you think you're successful.
I said, well, I work hard, but really the other
reason is I've been blessed by God. I really believe that.
And so yeah, I hope people will download it's it's
(25:11):
j o wn k a h n And just go
to wherever you download your music, and the first one
you want to download is Fighter. His newest song is
called Fingerprints, and it will inspire you.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
John.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We appreciate you, man, God bless you. And we'll put
it up on Hannidi dot com and we'll put it
out on social media.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Thank you so much, John, I appreciate it all right, man, And.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
We're praying for you too and your family. A lot
to go through. Man, you think you're having a tough
day today, think of what this guy has been through.
Let's go to ali var in Arizona. Oliver, how are
you glad you called, sir?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
It's a honor to talk to you. First time caller,
new listener. I've wanted to I'm experiencing this Trump derangement
syndrome first hand.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I wanted to share my story with you.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I get your advice. I have an older brother. He's
highly educated as a PhD in sociology. He's a professor,
a tenured he's well known in his field. He's published.
And when he found out that I voted for Trump,
he refused to be the best man in my wedding
and also to attend my wedding. And it took my
elderly mother begging him to attend the wedding and he
(26:17):
finally did. But things have never been the same since then.
He just has this emotional reaction and it's just it's
sad how these people, some people are reacting like that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well he could you know, some people get educated, and
he might be highly educated, but they get you know,
educated at all the common sense that they were born with.
All right, there are really two choices here for you,
and I have a preference of the two, but I'll
give you both. One is to not give an Adam schiff,
and this is his decision. You move on with your life.
You don't try to make contact with your brother. This
(26:48):
is on him, it's not on you. Your conscience is clear. Okay,
that's option one. Option two, which would be my preferred option,
would be stay in touch with your brother. Make sure
you make it very very clear to him that you
don't want politics to separate the two of you, that
you would agree not to talk politics with him if
that would make him feel better and wouldn't trigger his
(27:10):
his woke little you know backside. And you don't have
to say it that way, but say it in a
nice way, and that you're my brother. I want a
relationship with you. My door is always open. I'll check
in with you frequently, and I hope you change your
mind and just be very loving about it and don't
(27:32):
give up on your brother, and hope that it works
out one day. You know it looks there sometimes it
just here's just the reality. It doesn't matter if you're
a family member or not a family member. There's some
people in life you don't get along with. And then
there's the Christian side of me that says, you know what,
you know, pray for your brother and keep preaching out
to him and just just love him, even though he
(27:54):
doesn't obviously have the capacity at this moment and his
life to love you back. Which one do you think
you're going to go with?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I'm trying to go the more Christian side, but.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's a good you made the right You're not going
to regret that choice.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, it's just sad how these people have this emotional reaction,
and there is just sad.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He's my brother and he reacted that way.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Kind of makes me think back to the stories during
the Civil War era, where you know, brothers were fighting
against brothers.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I mean, this isn't quite that extreme, but it's just
it's just it's bad.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Let me ask you a question. Did somebody else become
your best man?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Is it somebody that you know you love and loves
your back, cares about you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
And then after I had him be the best man,
my mom talked to my brother into attending and he
did attend, and he was one of the grooms men.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
But it was just kind of very awkward, and yes
it is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I feel sorry for you, you know. I mean, you
want your brother to be a best man. He turns
you down. That's kind of a little bit of a blow.
But you're tougher than that. Uh, we'll pray for your brother.
Hopefully he has a change your heart.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Hi baby Trump, Trumper writer or die, thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Let me tell no one's going to pressure me out
of the politics I believe in. And you know that
was one of the reasons I left New York. I
was hated. Now, Linda would give you very different advice.
Your advice would be tell them the f off, wouldn't
it be?
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Would I have.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Family members I don't talk to anymore because they decided
not to like me for my conservative beliefs.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I love to have a conversation. So you know, because
you associate with me too, they're not worth your time.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
How many people don't like you because you associate with me?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
You know?
Speaker 9 (29:27):
It's funny. That's actually gotten less. It's more just about
I'm not even kidding you. I think the overwhelming disgust
for Trump without you know, pun intendent kind of Trump's
the hate of everything else. Right, It's like, oh, you
like Trump?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You know we hate you. It's obscene. That was my
life in New York, which is so different from my
life today in the Free State of Florida. But I
ever mentioned I live in the Free State of Florida.
I think I mentioned it once or twice.
Speaker 9 (29:54):
I had no idea we should hit the breaking news sounder, bro.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I know, breaking news amazing now, it is amazing how
much coverage that. By the way, if I if I
walk down the street, I'm in the local paper. There's
nothing I can do. It's unreal. All Right, that's gonna
