Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of
you for being with us. Right down our toll free
telephone number if you want to be a part of
the program, it is eight hundred and ninety four one
Sean if you want to join us. Apparently a new
COVID strain from China has hit the US. Some experts
are calling for face masks and social distancing and shots
to return. No, thank you. We'll check in with doctor

(00:23):
Brian Tyson, people that we trusted during COVID after we
learned so much about what we will lie to and
by the way, my understanding is and I'll double check
with him that this is a hospitalizations are up and
then I look at it. It's like thirty hospitalizations in
like Hong Kong or China, not even a big number. Anyway,

(00:44):
we'll hit that today. Also in the course of the program,
Senator Tom Cotton will get an update on the one
big beautiful bill in the Senate. We'll get an update
on a lot of issues that Democrats are absolutely losing it.
I've got to give credit to Chairman Jim Comer and
he is now demanding an investigation at key ex Presidential

(01:05):
aids Now must go before Congress and testify about the
Biden dementia, cognitive decline, whatever you prefer to call it
cover up, and James Comer's demanding several high ranking staffers
in Biden's White House appear for transcribed interviews on their
suspected roles working behind the scenes to cover up the

(01:27):
former president's significant mental decline during his term. Now he
sent interview requests to four key Biden Whitehouse aids. I'm
sure there'll be more to follow. Former Director of Domestic
Policy near A Tandon, former Assistant to the President and
Deputy chief of Staff, and a Tom what is it Thomasini?

(01:48):
And also former senior advisor to the First Lady Anthony Burnell,
and former deputy director for the Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams. Now,
notice you know. Also, so this chairman has requested a
transcribed interview with Biden doctor Kevin O'Connor, and he said
that these unelected bureaucrats had an overwhelming influence over over

(02:09):
Joe Biden and possibly serving as the de facto president.
And this has only got to be the beginning, because
evidence is mounting. And this was a Foxnews dot Com
piece today. A pro energy group is calling for an
investigation into a half a dozen significant Biden administration executive
actions related to climate that they believe should be deemed

(02:31):
Nolan void due to being signed by an autopen. Power
the Future, a nonprofit organization advocating for American energy job,
said he found no evidence of the presidents speaking about
any of the orders publicly, raising concerns that the orders
were signed by autopen and that Biden was not aware
of them. In the letter to the House Oversight Committee

(02:55):
Chairman James Comer, the group contends, in light of the
growing evidence that actions taken by the former president may
not have been approved or signed by him, but instead
promulgated by a small caterret of advisors in his name,
without his knowledge or his signature, using an autopen all,
the need for Congressional access to the information has grown

(03:18):
in importance with these revelations. The executive orders referred to
the Power referred by Power of the Future include Arctic
drilling ban in twenty twenty three, a twenty twenty one
executive order committing the federal government to a net zero
missions by twenty fifty in executive order mandating clean energy
AI centers offshore drilling ban et cetera. Power of the future.

(03:40):
How would we know? And this is the thing this Biden,
you know, aid admitting the staff acted undemocratically because they
viewed Trump was an existential threat, and then even going
as far as you know, saying, well, Biden just would
have to win, and he could disappear for four years
and he'd only have to show proof of life every

(04:01):
once in a while. Oh, that that's a great way
to run the presidency. Basically admitting that others would be
in charge of the of the presidency and lying to
the American people and covering it all up. You know,
you have political out there floating a list of Democratic
shadow cabinet members, you know, but political celebrities to combat Trump.

(04:24):
It's like an Orwellian nightmare that they're talking about here.
You know, Tim Wallas calls for a shadow government to
count the Trump administration. It's it's pretty unbelievable. And these
are the people that were claiming democracy is in peril,
democracy is democracy was in peril right by them, And uh, Patty, oh,

(04:45):
I see Broadway store, Patty lap Lapona is that don
a name I don't even know. I don't ever go
to Broadway. I wouldn't know he said that the Kennedy
Centers should get blown up. Really everyone should condemn these radicals.
Rick Ranelsa of these remarks, I mean, isn't that a threat?
I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

(05:06):
We're just going back to where we were in twenty seventeen,
political publishing, this fantasy shadow cabinet. Let's see Giselle Fetterman,
John Stewart, Bill Nye, The Science Guide, Leticia James, Nicky Glazer,
John Stewart. Now, AOC is doubled down on the political

(05:27):
asonine position of abolishing ice and that bandwagon, even as
other Democrats are saying, maybe we shouldn't, we shouldn't say
the stuff we really believe out loud. I mean, you
got to give AOC some credit. She's at least being honest.
But she is doubling down on a losing proposition. But
that's not unlike the Democrats doubling down on protecting men's

(05:48):
rights to play women's sports and going to bat for
illegal immigrants. It didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty.
Even Trende or Ragua and MS third team gang members.
I mean, the stunt that was done by Senator Van
Hollan is insane. Now, Chucky Schumer is going to spend
the week away from DC campaigning against the Republican's Big

(06:12):
Beautiful Bill, one Big Beautiful Bill, which I'm fine with
because instead of supporting the largest tax cut in American history,
he will be fighting against it. Instead of fighting for
a bill that eliminates tax on tip, social security and overtime,
he's going to be fighting that. Instead of providing the
moneys necessary to secure all border, he will be against

(06:34):
that as well every other Democrat. You know. Instead of
helping finance the deportation of illegal immigrants, they will be
fighting for illegals to stay in this country, even illegals
that committed crimes. And if he wants to fight against
American energy dominance, and he wants to fight against the
next generation of weaponry and make us a vulnerable nation

(06:55):
like Joe Biden did, let them do that. Liberals blame
the Big Beautiful Bill loss on dying Democrats. Imagine if
they retired instead of dying in office anyway facing it
another loss after the One Big Beautiful Bill advanced in
the House, Liberals are lashing out a Democratic party elders
for clinging on to power for too long. Now you've

(07:17):
got this intramural, you know, political civil war in the party.
I mean, we saw that emerge with David Hogg starting.
You know, he's planning to raise millions of dollars to
challenge incumbent Democrats. At one Democratic congressman spending Memorial Day
trying to visit a deported illegal alien with MS thirteen ties.

(07:38):
You know one thing, a growing number of Democrats are
arguing that members of their party need to reconsider their
use of certain left wing terms and phrases. Now, remember
this is the party that spent is spending twenty million
dollars on on on trying to figure out how to
talk to young men. Hey, bro, want to get a Bruski?

(08:00):
Hey Charlie, what you doing? Bud? I want to go
for Uh? I wanna go hit hit the old bars today? Uh? Hey,
have you caught the latest game on Sunday? Did you
see did you see Joe so and so crossed the plane?
I mean it's like talking to Linda about football. It's
so it's so stupid. How about you be real instead

(08:21):
of you know, manufactured and poll testing. How to talk
to men, how about you just be yourself Wasserman Schultz,
rejecting a New York Times report on voters seeing Democrats
as slow and passive. Now they're seeing them as insanely woke, dumb,
and failures. They had an opportunity and they did nothing
with it. They allowed they made this country. They created

(08:43):
their biggest national security threat that was preventable in our history.
They did nothing to stop transitory inflation. They did nothing
to stop the war in Europe. They didn't even attempt to.
All they did was take our money and fight a
proxy war against Russia. Trump is trying to clean up
that mess, and it's pretty unbelievable. Then you got Kamala Harris,

(09:04):
you know, warning people to remember history, warning of the current.
You know, parallels with the nineteen thirties. They cannot help
themselves anyway. The idea though, that Republicans already in subpoenas
in terms of Joe Biden's cognitive decline is critical. You know,
Laura Trump was on with Laura Ingram last night. Actually
made a good point and she said the damage. Yeah, okay,

(09:27):
so I guess what's his name? Fake Jake called Laura
Trump about two months ago, and he said, I have
this book coming out and everyone's saying that I should
apologize to you. Well, why don't you say you should
apologize to her? And I plan whenever the book comes
out to go on TV and I will say you
were right and I was wrong. Why don't you apologize?

(09:49):
She said, well, I guess you know, to Jake's credit,
he did that. But the overarching thing in this case
is that damage is done. We were so close to
something so dangerous happening to our country. Look at the
millions of the illegal immigrants in this country. We don't
know who was president the last four years. We don't

(10:11):
know that Joe Biden actually signed the executive orders that
they claim that he signed. They can't say that with
any certainty. And you know, we're going to start talking about,
you know, some of the details here, but none of
this is any good. And Jake Tapper admitting, well, democrats

(10:31):
cover up maybe worse than Watergate. You think, well, why
didn't they cover it at the time? Why is that possible?
We had an FBI director calling the GOP white supremacist
adjacent and then when given an opportunity to clean that up,
we'll play it later. You know he didn't take advantage
of it. I mean, how scary is that? Then you

(10:53):
wonder why moms and dads at school board meetings were
harassed to the extent that they were. It's pretty incredible
when you think about it. Anyway, we do have some
economic news to share with you today. We've got a
lot of Trump news to get to in the course
of the program today. Now, House Democrats have already drawn
up impeachment articles against Donald Trump. Now, when we start

(11:17):
getting closer to the twenty twenty six midterms, I'm just
going to warn you all of Donald Trump's great progress
will come to a screeching halt, and all you'll see
and all you'll hear is impeachment. Impeachment. Impeachment. Impeachment and
waiting in the wings are two sets of impeachment articles.

(11:37):
Though an effort to force a vote this month lack
the support of the Democratic leadership, Democrats have sent letters
to various federal agencies have held those series of shadow hearings.
Democrats have alleged a broad set of conflicts of interest.
On Donald Trump's hundredth day in office, Congressman Jerry Connolly,
previously the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. By

(11:58):
the way, you do know Jasmin Crockett would be the
head of the Oversight Committee if Democrats got power anyway,
released a list of one hundred involving the President Trump.
You know, it's funny they keep going back to this
issue with this plane gifted to our defense department. Do
you really how come about one Democrat ever commented on
the eight billion dollars that Qatar actually spent on our

(12:24):
largest military base in the Middle East in their country
eight billion dollars And they want it there, and they're
glad it's there, and they're investing in it being there,
and they need our technology and they need our weaponry,
and we sell it to them, but we don't charge
them the cost of what it took to build it.

(12:46):
And frankly, I'm just I have a hard time understanding
now if you want to question whether or not a
lot of these countries have played both sides, that's a
fair argument if you want to If you're telling me
if they have turned a blind eye towards extremism, we
already know the answer to that question. Am I saying
that all of that needs to be challenged and changed? Absolutely? So,

(13:09):
I think the President did it, but he said sign
the Abraham Accords in both Katar and Riad and also
in the UAE. Yeah, I think the president's laying the
foundation once the Iranian situation is resolved. I'm telling you
that's probably going to be next on the list if
Democrats were in the House. I'm just warning you. In
twenty twenty six, Jasmin Krockett could be the chair of

(13:30):
the House Overside Committee. By the way, the Trump budget,
thank god, cuts cuts to the UN has now forced
layoffs at the UN two hundred and twenty five jobs
due to cutbacks in US funding. Why are we funding
all of these globalist organizations, the w EF, the WHO,

(13:51):
which was not funding anymore, Paris Climate Accords. How many
times are we going to be suckered nations? It's got
to stop, all right, Donald Trump taking on the radical
left and their federal funding for schools especially HAVEVID. We're
going to go through the numbers when we get back. Also,
the President threat and to cut off California from federal
funding because the Golden State refuses to reverse course on

(14:14):
allowing transgender athletes to compete in women's sports, and Trump
warning that he will order local authorities if necessary to
not allow a transgender athlete to compete in the state
finals this weekend, and that threat comes ahead of a
planned phone call with Galvin Newsom. Apparently Gavin Newsom has
given into that threat, but we'll update you throughout the day.

(14:37):
But California, the leadership of radical left Democratic Galvenussom continues
to illegally allow men to play in women's sports. It's
not fair, totally demeaning to women and to girls. But
they Democratic Party is now the champion of this. They
had an opportunity in the US Senate to champion the
rights of women. Sports mean means the rights, you know,

(15:01):
not to have to compete against men, biological men and anyway,
this this all came about because of this ab Hernandez,
who was born a male, became a transgender woman. Hernandez
recently won the women's long jumped and triple jump during
a State Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Masters meet, and Hernandez

(15:23):
had previously won a triple jump contest by roughly three
feet in March and is slated to compete in the
CIF Champion of State Championship in Fresno Friday and Saturday.
That shouldn't happen. I'll tell you about Harvard when we
get back on twenty five till the top of the hour,
a toll free number. We'll get to your calls today
it's eight hundred and ninety four to one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program. Look,

(15:46):
you can't celebrate Independence Day, the birth of our nation,
the greatest country God gave man without an American flag.
And please don't get one made in China. Not exactly,
it's not exactly in the spirit of Independent's Day in
my view. But anyway, you can celebrate it with an
American flag made right here in America. I'm talking about

(16:08):
Allegiance Flag supply one hundred percent made in America. It
is made of the highest quality. It's the highest quality
American flag. They're hands sewn in Charleston, South Carolina, and
it is the most patriotic thing you can do Independence Day, frankly,
all year long, and you'll be supporting hardworking Americans by
perching and purchasing an Allegiance flag and then fly that

(16:32):
flag with pride. I'm flying my flag right now with pride,
and sweet baby James, I had them put it in
the right place. He fuhung it in the wrong spot
the first time where nobody can see it anyway. If
you go to Allegianceflag dot Com use the promo code Hannity,
you'll get free shipping. You'll have it in time for
the fourth of July. Just go to their website. It's

(16:53):
show Allegiance one word show Allegiance dot com promo code Hannity.
Get your Allegiance flag in time for the fourth of July.
Allegiance Flags for Great Americans, American Flags made the American
Way Allegianceflag dot Com. Now, a couple of things I
want to update you first before I get to the

(17:14):
issue of habid Now. The President said today that it
will soon be apparent whether or not Vladimir Putin is,
you know, just tapping us along in negotiations and ending
war in Europe and war with Ukraine. And after swearing
in our friend and my former colleague Janine Piro as
the interim US attorney for DC, Trump fielded questions from

(17:38):
reporters when asked to be things that Putin wants to
actually bring the conflict to a close, he said it
will be apparent within two weeks. If he's serious, I
can't tell you that, but I'll let you know in
about two weeks. Within two weeks, we're going to find
out very soon, and we're going to find out whether
or not he's tapping us along or not, and if
he is, we'll respond differently. He was also asked about

(18:00):
his truth social post in which he said Putin is
playing with fire and what potential consequences Russia could face.
He said, well, I'm not going to tell you exactly,
but the words speak pretty loud, and we're not happy
about the situation. And before highlighting other key foreign policy
negotiations with the Middle East, theve Witkoff, Now, I have

(18:22):
gone deep into sources all throughout the Senate, the House,
the administration, and this is what I'm hearing. And I
heard it when I was in the Middle East with
the President. Iran has two choices. Choice number one is
if they continue to be hell bent on enrichment, in

(18:43):
the enrichment of uranium, that will result in the US
and or the US in Israel taking out the nuclear sites.
He can't be any more clear in his language. I
heard him say it at least five times I was
with him in the Middle East. He said it repeatedly

(19:03):
or they can choose the peaceful option. Now if they want,
for example, the UAE has nuclear power, but the nuclear
rods for nuclear power, which cannot be enriched, come from
outside of the country, and that probably that would be
part of the deal. But what is off the table,

(19:25):
and it's been very clear, is that the enrichment of
uranium in Iran for any reason has to come to
an end and they would have to import if they
want a nuclear program for power, that those rods would
have to come from outside the country. That they can't
have their own enrichment facilities. Now, part two of the

(19:47):
equation would be anywhere, any place, anytime inspections and I'm
not talking about UN inspectors or IAEA inspectors or inspectors
from country is that are not going to be diligent.
I mean they can be a part of it, but
we need American inspectors, and that means anywhere, any place, anytime,

(20:10):
inspections to make sure that they're not cheating, because they're
prone to cheat. And so we'll see what happens. But anyway,
we're watching you know this slaughter. Look Vladimir Putin in
his case, everybody knows he's a murdering dictator thug. Anyone
that tells you otherwise, you know, is just flat out wrong.

(20:33):
But we also need to remember Crimea was annexed under
Obama and Biden in twenty fourteen. Crimea is not going
to be on the table for Ukraine. I don't think
they expect it to be on the table. The Donbas region,
which has been in contention and part of the territorial
ambitions of Putin, you know, that's eighty percent Russian national

(20:55):
that's probably gone too, and maybe maybe other parts. However,
you know, the only and this is when President Trump said,
you don't have any cards to play. Europe has not
shown a willingness to step up and protect Ukraine and
provide the weaponry that they would need to actually win

(21:16):
this war. Now, they have fought valiantly, they have fought courageously.
They have done a great job. I applaud them. You know,
the fact that Joe Biden sat idly by as Putin
was amassing troops and military equipment is unfathomable to me.
And I do give credit to the Ukrainians because in
light of the attacks over three days over the weekend,

(21:40):
hundreds of Ukrainian drones responded and they crossed into Russian
territory overnight and early this morning, and dozens of targets
in Russia and in Moscow were hit, and it caused
a disruption to flights in and out of the capitol,
and Russia's defense ministry said it's forced to shot down

(22:03):
two hundred and ninety six Ukrainian drones over twelve regions,
including the capitol. I'm not sure if that's true or not,
but one of Moscow's four international airports in the capitol
also warned travelers of delays because of restrictions and posed
because of the drone attack. So they're not exactly knocking
it down now. It was Biden that put handcuffs on

(22:25):
Zelensky from the beginning. Wouldn't allow Poland to give them megs,
wouldn't allow them to use certain weapons, wouldn't allow them
to go into Russian territory. At this point in time,
if Putin wants to destroy Ukraine and murder innocent men,
women and children, you can't blame Ukraine for wanting to
fight back and do the same back to them. Now,

(22:48):
this is more of a your problem. And for all
the criticism Donald Trump is getting for trying to resolve this.
This didn't happen on his watch. This is Biden fault.
As Putin was amassing troops and military equipment, why didn't
he pick up a phone and try and get a
negotiated settlement? Then, why didn't he ever try to do that?

(23:09):
He never called Putin once, He never reached out to
Russia once. Yeah, and I think that that Putin has
gone absolutely mad and crazy. However, you know, we have
eighty two senators now that have signed on to sanctions,
and I think that those sanctions can be very, very effective,
and I think they will be very effective. Now. The President,

(23:31):
by the way, I mentioned cutting threatening to cut off
federal funds for California unless the state stops forcing female
athletes to compete with biological males. The bigger issue, and
I thought one of the biggest news developments with Harvard today,
their president Alan Garber admitted that a lack of conservatives
and a fear of voicing unpopular opinions on campus are

(23:56):
problems that the university needs to address. Anyways, said to MPR,
my view, the federal government is saying that we need
to address anti semitism in particular, but it has raised
other issues, and it includes claims that we lack viewpoint diversity.
The administration and others have said conservatives are too few
on campus and their views are not welcome. We think

(24:18):
it's a real problem if, particularly research university students don't
feel free to speak their minds, when faculty feel that
they have to think twice before they talk about the
subjects that they're teaching, that's a real problem we need
to address. So you're admitting that there's bigotry on campus. Oh,
very nice of them to finally admit that. You know,
I love how all of these all of these these places,

(24:42):
you know, feel entitled to your money. National Public Radio
and three of their affiliates in Colorado are now suing
the Trump administration over the executive order signed earlier this
month that would terminate the outlets federal funding. Tell me,
why are they entitled to your hard earned money? Because
that's your money that we're talking about now, as it

(25:04):
relates to the Trump administration planning to cancel all remaining
federal contracts with Harvard. You know, why did we have
so many contracts to begin with? You know, why why
are we dealing with six hundred million dollars in contracts
since twenty seventeen. That is an insane amount of money
that was going to Harvard. Insane. Why are we giving

(25:26):
Harvard a penny? Harvard has a fifty three plus billion
dollar endowment. For crying out loud, they don't need our money.
They don't need your money, you know. And then what
do they spend it on. They got four point four
billion in federal four point four billion, rather in federal funds.
When am I talking about six hundred million for on

(25:48):
four point four billion dollars? They have a fifty three
point two billion dollar endowment. I mean, this is insane.
And then they're spending millions for improving diversity in bio
medical sciences, more than two hundred grand on a study
for societal transformations. And I had Alan Derschwitz on last
night and he goes, well, you know, we don't want
to stop, you know, funding for cancer research. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(26:11):
Why Harvard? Why don't we send the money not to
an anti semitic, you know, educational institution and a radical
left institution, when you can send that money to Sloan's
Kettering and M. D Anderson and the Mayo clinic and
the Cleveland Clinic and NYU Langgon and their Kansas Center,

(26:32):
And why don't you send it to the you know,
Columbia Presbyterian. Why are we giving them money? I mean,
if you look at the federal contracts, fifty three point
six million dollar contract for research and development services on
tuberculosis that began in twenty nineteen and won't end till
twenty twenty six. Fifteen point two million dollar contract to

(26:53):
study countermeasures against radiation, the contract began in twenty twenty three,
slated to extend the twenty twenty eight four million in
an operational support contract that commenced in twenty three, set
to you know, continue to twenty twenty six, you know,
billions to provide support for you know, some some mission

(27:18):
project did We don't need Harvard Harvard's you know John
Labootly eight years ago, former Congressman Long Island, New York.
Harvard hates America, and he went to Harvard. Pete haik
Seth ripped up his own his very own degree that
he got from there. He wanted to know part of it.
Don't blame him, But the General Services Administration is sending

(27:42):
a letter instructing all federal agencies to review the hundreds
of millions remaining in federal contract. We shouldn't pay a
penny to Harvard. And if we're going to give money
to colleges, why don't we give it to the people
that need it the most? Fifty three billion dollars in
an endowment. Let them give scholarships to people in need.
How about we give it to trade schools, and and

(28:03):
why don't we give it to tech schools? And why
don't we give it to community colleges where people really
can't afford to go out there. It's it's to go
to school. Give it to the people that need it.
Pretty unbelievable, anyway. Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn
is a number you want to be a part of
the program. Now. In some other news, ICE agents busted

(28:26):
as sex offender and gang member in illegal alien roundup
a Matha's vineyard. Well, last time, Ron DeSantis, the governor
of my state of Florida, send people up to Matha's vineyard.
They wouldn't let these illegals stay there more than twenty
four hours. But they are sanctuary. It's sanctuary as long
as it's not in their backyard. ICE agents, with the

(28:49):
help of the US Coast Guard, arrested more than three
dozen illegals a Matha's vineyard in Nantucket, including one illegal
alien who is a documented MS thirteen gang member another
who's a convicted child sex offender. Average home cels for
more than two point five million in the two elite
coastal destinations. How much you want to bet it's the

(29:10):
people that lived there. They're tipped off ice because they
didn't want them in their their prestigious, snobby little islands.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott says that two Biden illegals arrested
after the hit and run death of a Texas Air
Force recruit should get the death penalty. And this is
a sad story. I mean, it's just it was a

(29:31):
fatal Jetski hit and run. Guy took off. They found
them and anyway, two more suspects all in the country illegally.
How many more? How much more blood will will Kamala
Joe and Alejandro Mayorcis have on their hands? In Nashville,
Democratic Mayor Freddie O'Connell is being investigated by the FEDS
for allegedly aiding and abetting illegal immigrants and obstructing ice agents.

(29:55):
Good if you obstruct ice agents. If he's guilty of that,
he should be held to count Anyway, it turns out
there is a catch to the population of California. Oh,
it turns out they're counting illegals that are residents in
the state. Well, we have to make sure that they
don't get counted in the census because that will impact

(30:16):
congressional redistricting. AOC has doubled down on this ditch and
abolish ice bandwagon. Illegal immigrant health care costs and blue
states trigger an intense budget debate. They are borrowing in
California billions of dollars just to pay for health care
for illegals. The Trump administration has put a hold on

(30:37):
all foreign student visas and until they can vet new
applicants on their social media posting, et cetera. Marc Rubio,
Secretary of State, ordered US embassies and consulates to pause
any student visa applicant interviews effective immediately. About time. Somebody's
got to get a hold of this. And I did mention.

(30:59):
By the way, Trump's tariff revenue top twenty two billion
dollars in May twenty two billion. If that number kept up,
that would add two hundred and sixty seven billion dollars
to the federal revenues this year. And by the way,
all the predictions of doom and gloom did not impact
the economy at all as was predicted. Consumer confidence literally

(31:24):
jump by double digits in May, double digits. And all
these foreign cower companies are looking to build facilities here
in America to avoid Trump tariffs. They want access to
our markets. Trump understands the power of it all right.
When we come back, believe it or not, a new
strain of COVID and the hospitalizations are way up, and

(31:44):
some people are calling for masks and social distancing and
not quite. It's not what it appears to be. We'll
