Sean Hannity surveys off-year gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, tying them to migration, redistricting, and a broader law and order debate amid criticism of Chicago's leadership. Newt Gingrich joins to argue that Trump's multitiered agenda on the border, crime, taxes, tariffs, spending, and foreign conflicts created short-term confusion but could yield stronger growth, energy dominance, and major manufacturing gains by next year. They discuss potential Fed rate cuts, defenses of tariffs, and intra-Democratic tensions, including Virginia sanctuary policies and speculation about Chuck Schumer facing pressure from AOC. Other notes include Space Force's move to Huntsville. Hannity closes by defending his proposal for school security and metal detectors and retired law enforcement/military volunteers with tax incentives after backlash to his comments following a Minneapolis school shooting.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Here's our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine four one,
Shawn if you want to be a part of the
program on if you look big picture, you know where
I know a lot of people are going to probably
put a lot in the gubernatorial races. Again, it's kind
of an off year election, and we have Glenn Youngkin
(00:24):
in the Commonwealth of Virginia. You can only serve one
consecutive term, and it's unfortunate because I think it'd be
a great but he also has win some seers who
would be a great governor of my view, although she's
down on the polls right now. Then we have a
New Jersey goubinatorial race, and New Jersey, like California and
New York and Illinois, has experienced the mass migration people
(00:46):
that I believe would otherwise vote Republican. I don't think
it's going to be a harbinger of things to come
in the midterms, although Donald Trump will have to defy
history if he's going to win that keep the House
and keep the Senate. But I do believe the billion
five that Republicans have cash on hand, and the fact
(01:07):
that states like Texas and others Missouri seems to be next,
are going to do exactly what the Democrats have done,
which with jerrymandering, and that is that they're going to
create more Republican districts and follow the same rules the
Democrats have perfected. I think is going to be helpful.
But more importantly, I think on issues Democrats are upside
(01:28):
down and sideways on the issue of law and order
and safety and security. You know, listening to the mayor
of Chicago but rating Donald Trump, the governor of Chicago JB.
Pritzker berating Donald Trump, and meanwhile, fifty eight shot and
eight dead over the Labor Day weekend. But that's not
enough to encourage people to bring law and order, in
safety and security to the state of Illinois and the
(01:51):
city of Chicago. Look at the dramatic decrease in crime
in our nation's capital. I mean, it's massive by any
objective measure, and you have people in our nation's capital
saying thank you. I go back to this USA Today article.
I live in DC. I'm glad Trump sent in the
National Guard to fight crime. And then you look at
(02:13):
the actual numbers and it's overwhelming, and we have a
forty eight percent decrease in violent crime in our nation's capital. Wow,
policing actually works, and you see the same thing. So,
whether it's law and order, safety and security, illegal immigration,
deporting illegal immigrants. Democrats voted for the largest tax cut
(02:36):
in history, and by doing so, voting for the largest
tax increase in American history. They didn't stand up for
American workers. And they had an opportunity to stand up
for American workers. No tax on tips and no tax
on overtime, they voted against it. They voted against protecting seniors,
no tax on social security. Then of course they want
(02:57):
you to they want to tell you what car to
put in your driveway. They are voted against every measure
that will lower the cost of the lifeblood of the
world's economy, which is energy. And then of course Donald
Trump has helped bring peace in seven different countries, and
he's still trying to bring peace with Europe in Europe
with Putin and Zelenski, and hopefully he'll be successful. Is
(03:19):
no guarantee, but hopefully so. I think on issues heading
into twenty six, it's going to be very, very different
than whatever gubernatorial races take place in a blue state
and a purple state. Anyway, here to analyze all of
this and why the Democrats are doubling down on dumb
and dumber and stupid is former Speaker of the House,
a professor in his own right, a historian in his
(03:40):
own right, and friend of the program on New ging
Rich is with us. You seem to understand this more
than anybody. And your latest New York Times bestseller is
called Trump's Triumph America's greatest comeback. I think we're in
the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, I think we are. I think that's part of
the challenge, that there are so many things happening si multaneously.
It's closing the border, fighting crime in Washington, d C.
Passing the largest tax increase in history, dealing with federal spending,
dealing with Gaza and Ukraine, and a host of other places.
(04:16):
I mean, we've never seen a president act even on
as many different fronts simultaneously. And the result is, I
think that there's a certain amount of confusion about what
does it all mean, what's going to happen? And many
years ago, Michael Baron, who was one of the great
students of American politics, noted that everywhere in the Western
(04:37):
world during the periods when the left wing media and
the left wing activists could dominate, the country would seem
to go towards the left. And then as you get
closer to an election, people started to pay attention, they
looked at at the arguments, and they began to shift
back to the right. And so what you have, I
think right now is a period where it's not clear
(04:59):
to people have going to work out. There's so many
things going on. This is partially Trump's style, which is
to frontally take on every single thing in parallel, but
it also means that at some point, probably not till
January February maybe with the State Union, they're going to
have to consolidate the message and get across to people
what they're trying to do. My hunch is that by
(05:22):
next summer, and this is truly a hunch, we're going
to see a dramatically stronger economy. We're going to see
massive investments, and we're going to see a level of
momentum towards a better America that's going to be very,
very shocking and very surprising. But in the short run,
it's the turmoil that people see and the confusion. You know,
you see this for example, negotiating all the tariffs simultaneously.
(05:46):
I mean, I think they have one hundred and seventy
tariff negotiations underway, all at the same time. So for
a normal person, this just seems like an awful lot
to be happening, and hard to understand the totality of it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I think that the reason I'm more optimistic, maybe
even than you are, is I see the building blocks
for economic success. We've learned historically that when you cut
taxes in spite of predictions of doom and gloom and
massive budget deficits, just the opposite ends up being true.
Reagan cut taxes the top marginal rates from seventy to
twenty eight percent revenues to the federal government double twenty
(06:22):
one million new jobs were created. It became at the
time the longest period of peacetime economic growth in the
history of the country. Add to that, and I don't
think you can actually calculate the impact on the economy.
But Trump opening up energy and pushing towards energy dominance
and making a deal with the European Union for nearly
a trillion dollars in committed purchases for our energy is incalculable.
(06:47):
Add to that the fifteen plus trillion dollars in committed
moneies in manufacturing for automobiles and pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips
and rare earths, all which are going to come online
very quickly because the One Big Beautiful Bill offers companies
that are involved in manufacturing one hundred percent bonus appreciation
(07:08):
in year one, which means it will incentivize them to
build these places and get these things up and running.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I think that's all right, and I don't look
I'm not in any way pessimistic. I think that by
next summer. I'm simply trying to describe. I think there's
a sense of turmoil. I think there's a sense of confusion.
I think if you look at the underlying fundamental patterns,
they are actually building towards a golden age in the future.
(07:36):
And if you look at the scale of the investment,
not just investment, but the scale of sales, the number
of if you're boeing Donald J. Trump is the best
salesman you've ever had, and the number of countries that
are now saying, you know, I'd like to buy some
more planes. Just by itself, would lead to a huge
impact on the economy. But as you point, it goes
way beyond that. The natural gas sales, the fact that
(07:58):
we're likely to have liquefied American natural gas replacing Russian
gas in Europe. That's both a big geopolitical win and
a big economic win. And a lot of these different
things are going on simultaneously. And I would say that
the challenge for us is that we're right in the
middle of setting the stage, but the stage isn't completely
(08:20):
set yet.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Listen, my hope and my prayer is and I'll tell
you what my hope in prayer is for is that
every American has this opportunity to prosper and to do well.
And I really believe that these manufacturing jobs and I
don't know why past presidents have given up on it.
I don't know if you recall, but Obama said that
it's never coming back, meaning automobile manufacturing and other manufacturing.
(08:45):
I'm like, why would you even want to believe that?
That makes zero sense to me? And here it is.
And you can add to the economic equation. You know,
the billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in moneys
that are going to be coming into the federal treasury.
I mean they're talking about, you know what, four trillion
dollars in savings over ten years because of tariffs. Everybody
(09:07):
predicted that would destroy the economy. Just the opposite ends
up being true. We saw a second quarter growth jump
to three point three percent. We now have an inflation
rate at the FED benchmark of two point zero percent,
which means that Jerome Powell, of my views, has no
choice but to lower interest rates. He'll be gone in May.
I would imagine the next FED chair is going to
(09:28):
drop interest rates immediately by at least a point.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh. I think you're gonna see inter the streets start
down in September.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I think you're right. But I think it's only going
to be zero point two five basis point because I
think he hates Trump more than he cares about the economy.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Although he did come out this week and say that
he thought unbalanced that Trump was right on tariffs.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He did say that, which was a pretty big concession
coming from him. I agree with that part.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It's like having the mayor of Washington explain that Trump
actually had reduced crime.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I mean, well, you can you explain it to me
it's inexplicable. You got fifty the eight people shot, you
got eight people dead, and that is a typical weekend
in Chicago. And the vitriol of the mayor and the
and the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago,
I can I can't explain it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, look, they live in an echo chamber where you
start with Trump is evil. Therefore anything Trump's doing is bad.
Facts cannot be allowed to get in the middle. And
I think in Chicago to a peculiar degree, and it
may almost be racist in its background because this sense
of well, most of the people who get shot probably
(10:34):
deserved it, and that's just that that's a bad part
of the city. I mean, I actually saw somebody say this,
who is of Chicago the other day, was deeply opposed
to Trump coming in and said, look, all these killings
don't matter because they're not in our neighborhood. Well, I
think if you think everybody who's getting kill as an American,
they sure us that do matter. And I raised the
(10:54):
question on both excellent truth Socialist weekend. If a mayor
can't protect the people of the city, does the US
government have an obligation to protect them? If they're in
the process of getting shot and killed. And I think
this is a very important question because most of these
big cities are so anti police and so pro criminal.
I mean Fyota, New Orleans, example, which has a huge
(11:16):
crisis in crime. The last mayor, Mayor Landrew, reduced the
police force from fifteen hundred down to nine hundred. And
you take six hundred people off the street, you're going
to get a lot more crime. That's the kind of
attitude across the country that has crippled the police, increased
the crime level, and is done by politicians who are
frankly more pro criminal than they are pro safety.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I would continue, former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich
is with us. He been liberal. Joe was challenging the mayor,
Brandon Johnson, Well, if you had five thousand more cops,
He asked them five times in a row, do you
think that your city would be safer? The mayor would
not answer that simple question that he called on Abe Pritzker,
(12:00):
apparently to partner up with Trump after this deadly weekend
in Chicago. Now again, I think Joe has ulterior motives.
I think Joe realizes that legacy media and hating Trump
media is dead, So I think he's trying to you know,
kind of kind of salvage's career somehow. Good luck to him.
But even he is recognizing simple fundamental truth, which is
(12:23):
very rare for MSDNC.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Look, as far as I'm concerned, if he can come
out in favor of being a crime fighting liberal, I'm
free him staying on the air.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I don't have any problem with any of them staying
on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm perfectly
content with them all staying on the air because they're
doing so bad. I'm happy with that.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
But he might actually create a whole new niche as
a liberal who's opposed to crime.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well he could, but I mean you do have a
gubernatorial candidate in Virginia that's trying to be anti crime.
I mean it's sort of like the anti Mamdani strategy.
Knowing that Glenn Younkin is so popular that the only
way that they could win is to be something that
they're probably not, which is, you know, pro police, because
the Democrats have really really embraced the fund dismantled no
(13:10):
bail laws and reimagine the police and sending the social workers.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, well, she's also come out and said she wants
to turn Virginia into a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
She did say that part too, That is correct.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, and that's an invitation to crime, and she can't
square the circle. Look, it's very clear that she is
a very radical Democrat who is really good at pretending
to be.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Normal, really radical Democrat that's really good at pretending to
be normal. The whole party has been radicalized.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Jerry Natler retired, by the way, with most I am
predicting the odds of very high Schumer is going to retire,
especially if he thinks that AOC is going to challenge him.
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
No, I agree with you. I think I think Schumer
recognizes that in a statewide primary now that he has
a very high likely of loser.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Are you kidding? He has a seventeen percent approval rating
and AOC against Schumer in New York was it was
almost a thirty percent advantage. He's done, and that's why
he's afraid to take on the radicals that are now
running his party. Him and Minority Leader Jeffries are leaders
in name only to me.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well's and that's why the election next to will be
fascinating because it's going to be a referendum at one
level on Mundamie and AOC and Sanders and the whole
big government socialist model. And I think that model's about
an eighteen to twenty percent move.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
By the way, you saw it earlier today in Huntsville.
You know, when I was there, Redstone Arsenal, etc. And
are still there, we referred to it as Rocket City, USA,
confirming Space Force is going to move there. I'm happy
for the people of Huntsville. We met just outside of
Huntsville in nineteen ninety in a holiday and when I
interviewed you when for a speech you were giving, and.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You were a mere travel at the time.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I was. I was a little wrang back then, no
doubt about it. I needed a little more practice, mister speaker.
We always appreciate you being with us. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Take care well.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I noticed when I took a couple of days off
Rosy O'donald's back. ROSI O'donald. You know, we had this
this shooting that took place in Minneapolis at this school
and this church, such a sad tragedy, and you know,
did you notice, like I was, I love how the
media works. It's like he gets somebody on Twitter, what
(15:33):
a dumb idea? Hendity hood assume of this, What a
stupid idea? On next, you know when I said, well,
if you want to prevent school shootings, I think I
have a way. But if you, I said, if you
have a better way, tell me what it is. This
is why I don't read this. It only showed up
in an article that sweet baby James printed out for me, Linda.
I'm not sure if you saw it, and people were
(15:55):
trolling me for my suggestion. If you have a better idea,
I will fall on the sword. I'll even give a
reward for a better idea, because I'd rather keep kids
safe and alive and secure so that they can pursue
the talent God put inside them. Because the word education
is from the Latin derivative at duca da, which means
(16:16):
to bring forth from within. And I'm sure all of
these keyboard warriors in their underwear in their parents' basement
that are anonymous on X you will know all about
it as they're trolling me. What a dumb idea, What
a simplistic idea? And then it's picked up by all
the news services MS and you know, one one liberal
(16:38):
media outlet again, Legacy Media. They're dead. Then it's it's
picked up everywhere, it goes everywhere, you know. Then it's
on the Huffington Post and it's here and there. I'm like, James,
why are you handing me this crap? I don't care
what these people think. First of all, the people that
started the narrative are a bunch of people either naked
(16:58):
or in their underwear in their parents' basement, anonymously, you know,
spending all day on X because they don't have a job,
because otherwise they would have the intelligence to understand this
is a simple, effective solution. And what was my idea
that was so horrible that it deserved all of these articles.
(17:18):
That every school in America should have metal detectors, every
one of them. Everyone should have retired trained military, retired
trained law enforcement, not only surrounding the outside in the
perimeter to make sure that nobody can get in the
school and something can happen. Well, there's shot from outside, Hannity. Okay,
(17:40):
if you're outside the perimeter, you have a guy out
there with a gun. And I'm not saying to put
people in military camouflage. No, they would be playing closed
people that probably the kids would come to love and respect,
and maybe they'd come into the love and respect law enforcement.
I wonder if these idiotic critics that have covered every
shooting from Columbine on down have if they have a
(18:01):
better idea than I do. I'm willing to fall on
the sword and say your idea is better. This isn't
about who is right. It's a matter of what is right.
It's a matter of keeping kids in schools safe and secure.
It's simple for me. I want to I'd like children
to go home to mommy and daddy at night. Simple.
So I'd like metal detectors in every school in the country,
(18:23):
every single one. I'd like retired trained law enforcement, retired
trained military set up a voluntary system where they can
they can generously donate maybe a day week, maybe two
days a week. And as a means of compensating them,
how about we take away all local taxes, state taxes,
(18:47):
federal taxes, and if they spend long enough on the
job doing that, we'll take away there are state tax
which basically means you're going to have security provided by
trained professionals for free. Why this became a viral moment
I don't understand. Now if you think at home listening
(19:07):
to this radio programmer, you're in your car, or you're
in the gym, I don't know where you are, and
you think I'm dumb, call me. I want to know
why you think it's dumb, because I do believe the
legacy medium mob that obsessed over this before I took
a couple of days off can take a whole week off.
(19:27):
Took a couple of days off? What three days off
for the holiday weekend? And before I this is what
I said before I went away, the last show that
I did, And then all of a sudden, sweet Baby
James has to hit me with fifteen articles about he's
an idiot. Linda, you'd be the first. You would love
(19:48):
to call me an idiot if you could. Do you
think you know?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Back in New York, Will we were doing fake news
hour in the five point thirty anymore? Is that coming back?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm just is there anything dumb about that? I no.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I think that people most of the people making rules
and laws for our children number one do not have children.
Number two have never worked in a school building, nor
do they know anything about it. They don't go to
the school board meetings. They don't know what the school
looks like. They don't go to orientation night. They just
talk out of their ass. I will say one thing
we could add to this conversation is our sponsor, Berna,
(20:24):
has something called a shield, and I have one for
all of my kids. They all have one, either in
their cars or in their backpacks, and they take them
with them to classes in schools and it literally will
stop a bullet. So if you have a child who's
of school age, you can.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Put I would say, I would put I would put
it in the backpack. I'd put it in every school classroom,
so you have something. If you watch the scene, there
was that previous shooting. I don't even remember where it was.
The guy that was in an office building and then.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
They here in Columbus, Columbus Circle.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They arricaded the office buildings and shut them dark.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
It was two blocks a wy.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, well you are in New York.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Sorry, well sorry, but I mean you know here in
New York where we are. You know where the show
is the studio. Sorry, I know you love Florida, but
some of us.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are My show originates from the Free State of Florida.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Well, some of us have to live here in barricaded country.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You choose to live here. I don't want to hear
that you have to live there. You choose, but you
even left. But here's the thing. Now, let's go around
the horn here, Ethan. Was this a dumb idea?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Great idea, okay, jac you know gives me mister B
minus over here? What do I get? I think I
gave you a B. So take it easy. Your idea
was very good. It's an actual idea. We're looking for
people who actually have an idea. Would it worked? Do
you think my idea would work? Yes, it would work,
and thank you most cases, in most probably every case,
(21:51):
because it would prevent people from even daring to try anymore. Katie, Yes,
I think it would work.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I actually like your idea with this, simply safe of
having the AI cameras out there too when intruders come
onto the property too.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Of course you use technology.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
The same people that are saying it wouldn't work also
said the National Guard wouldn't stop any crime in DC,
so they're trong.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I mean it's pretty bad, listen, I've been at this
a long time. You weren't even born when this radio
show started just for the record, so in all truth,
when sweet baby James hands me a pile of garbage
of people attacking me. Now, there have been over the
years legitimate listener or viewer feedback that I listened to,
(22:36):
and I'm like, okay, obviously this is an organized effort
to prevent law enforcement, train law enforcement, and train military
people from ever getting near a school. They don't just
like they don't want the guard in DC, just like
they don't want the guard in Chicago. Fifty eight shot
(22:57):
eight dead. But they're doing a great job. And that's
a predictable weekend. Anyway, Rosie O'Donnell I see while I
was away, you know, jumped on this and called the
shooter a Republican maga person. Wait, supremacist.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
So about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right
back to Columbine in nineteen ninety nine, when I just
could not get it through my head that students in
America were shooting each other in schools and this was
a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you
know was a white guy, Republican.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
White guy, maga, propublican maga.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
What do you know?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What do you know? White supremact white supremacist wrong, and
then she was called out on lying and rushing to judgment,
and she apologized.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I know a lot of you were very upset about
the video I made before I went away for a
few days. I didn't go online and haven't seen them
till today. But you are right. I did not do
my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and
I said things about the shooter that were incorrect. I assumed,
like most shooters, they followed a standard mo O and
(24:11):
had standard you know, feelings of you know, NRA love
and kind of gun people. Anyway, the truth is I
messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up.
I'm sorry. This is my apology video, and I hope.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's enough, Rosie. As long as you stay away in Ireland,
it's enough. I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You can.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You can sound dumb all you want. All right, let's
get to our busy telephones. Eight hundred and nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Hutch is in Minnesota. Hey, Hutch, how are you glad?
You called doing good?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Real quick? Give you a quick background. Retired US Infantry
combat arms work with Saint Paul Bomb Squad worked with
SWAT teams here in the state of Minnesota. Right after
nineteen ninety nine. April was when the shooting took place
Combine May. I went in and I talked with some
individuals in the school system, told them exactly what you
(25:10):
were talking about last week and the you know, of
having retired military personnel on hand to confront anybody that
comes in. And they said, we don't need anything that extreme,
and that's kind of been their viewpoint ever since to
this day.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, how's it working out for them?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah, not very well. One thing I would kind of
point out, Seanna you said last week, I'd say the
whole burner think, great for a teacher, but you want
to meet the individual that's trying to get in with
firearms of superior firepower, so you know, same thing. Don't
bring a nice to a gunfight. Don't bring a burner
to somebody that's got powder going off.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, listen, there are situations that I think it could
be very effective. Linda particularly was talking about the shield.
But if you have trained, armed, retired military and law
enforcement people that have devoted their whole lives to protecting others,
I think it would be a smart thing to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Oh outstanding, because you know, but the one thing I
kind of disagree with. I kind of think in the
realm of they'd be kind of in the officer in
an area somewhere around the school, watching them other. And
they're not really to become super friendly with the kids,
not mean to the kids, but they're basically they're break
glass in case of a perpetrator, you know what I mean. Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
But however, if you had enough volunteers, it would be good. Anyway,
I appreciate you checking in with us. God bless you.
Thank you for your service. By the way, Jeff at
North Carolina, what's up, Jeff? How are you?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
First?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
First off, thank you for what you do. You have
no idea. I've been listening for twenty five plus years
and it's just great to finally talk to you. Philadelphia, Nashville, Aberdeen, Denver.
They were all trans, Minneapolis trans. The Colorado Springs guy
(27:09):
was non binary. From what we can establish through listening
to everybody, they all take the same almost the same
hormone pills. They they're on the same drugs, They've been
through the same system. There's got to be some kind
of similarity there, that's something that they're taking is is wrong.
(27:36):
It's wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Well, first of all, we don't know what this person
was on. We don't have a toxicology report. It'll take
some time to get it. And I don't know. It's
funny you bring this up because when I was off
a couple of days, Caitlyn Jenner called me about this issue,
and it's upset that they're they're jumping the gun and
saying it's trans related, trans related to etc. Let me
(28:02):
just speak more broadly in generally, because we don't have
any facts about this individual in terms of whether or
not they were transitioning or not transitioning medications. You know,
it could be antidepressive medicine, that could be We're an
over prescribed society and we definitely need to look at
prescription medications for young adults and ask ourselves whether or
(28:27):
not there is a connection to that and this type
of behavior period. And that means all medications. And I
don't know what an answer we're going to come up with.
I think there's an appropriate time and place for everything
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
That's going to wrap things up today, Hannity. Tonight, we
got a Great Show nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
We sent Nicole Parker to the streets of Chicago to
find out, well, what do the people think? Do they
want safety and security, law and order? She'll tell us. Also,
Tom Homan will join us, Oh, stephen A. Smith in
studio tonight. You don't want to miss that. Nigel Farage
(29:06):
looks like he will be the next Prime Minister of
Great Britain if the polls hold up. Why immigration huge
issue and you see in Europe now following Donald Trump's lead.
Clay Travis tonight say DBR nine Eastern, Hannity on Fox
will see you tonight. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for
making the show possible.
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Here's our
(00:02):
toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine four one,
Shawn if you want to be a part of the
program on if you look big picture, you know where
I know a lot of people are going to probably
put a lot in the gubernatorial races. Again, it's kind
of an off year election, and we have Glenn Youngkin
(00:24):
in the Commonwealth of Virginia. You can only serve one
consecutive term, and it's unfortunate because I think it'd be
a great but he also has win some seers who
would be a great governor of my view, although she's
down on the polls right now. Then we have a
New Jersey goubinatorial race, and New Jersey, like California and
New York and Illinois, has experienced the mass migration people
(00:46):
that I believe would otherwise vote Republican. I don't think
it's going to be a harbinger of things to come
in the midterms, although Donald Trump will have to defy
history if he's going to win that keep the House
and keep the Senate. But I do believe the billion
five that Republicans have cash on hand, and the fact
(01:07):
that states like Texas and others Missouri seems to be next,
are going to do exactly what the Democrats have done,
which with jerrymandering, and that is that they're going to
create more Republican districts and follow the same rules the
Democrats have perfected. I think is going to be helpful.
But more importantly, I think on issues Democrats are upside
(01:28):
down and sideways on the issue of law and order
and safety and security. You know, listening to the mayor
of Chicago but rating Donald Trump, the governor of Chicago JB.
Pritzker berating Donald Trump, and meanwhile, fifty eight shot and
eight dead over the Labor Day weekend. But that's not
enough to encourage people to bring law and order, in
safety and security to the state of Illinois and the
(01:51):
city of Chicago. Look at the dramatic decrease in crime
in our nation's capital. I mean, it's massive by any
objective measure, and you have people in our nation's capital
saying thank you. I go back to this USA Today article.
I live in DC. I'm glad Trump sent in the
National Guard to fight crime. And then you look at
(02:13):
the actual numbers and it's overwhelming, and we have a
forty eight percent decrease in violent crime in our nation's capital. Wow,
policing actually works, and you see the same thing. So,
whether it's law and order, safety and security, illegal immigration,
deporting illegal immigrants. Democrats voted for the largest tax cut
(02:36):
in history, and by doing so, voting for the largest
tax increase in American history. They didn't stand up for
American workers. And they had an opportunity to stand up
for American workers. No tax on tips and no tax
on overtime, they voted against it. They voted against protecting seniors,
no tax on social security. Then of course they want
(02:57):
you to they want to tell you what car to
put in your driveway. They are voted against every measure
that will lower the cost of the lifeblood of the
world's economy, which is energy. And then of course Donald
Trump has helped bring peace in seven different countries, and
he's still trying to bring peace with Europe in Europe
with Putin and Zelenski, and hopefully he'll be successful. Is
(03:19):
no guarantee, but hopefully so. I think on issues heading
into twenty six, it's going to be very, very different
than whatever gubernatorial races take place in a blue state
and a purple state. Anyway, here to analyze all of
this and why the Democrats are doubling down on dumb
and dumber and stupid is former Speaker of the House,
a professor in his own right, a historian in his
(03:40):
own right, and friend of the program on New ging
Rich is with us. You seem to understand this more
than anybody. And your latest New York Times bestseller is
called Trump's Triumph America's greatest comeback. I think we're in
the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, I think we are. I think that's part of
the challenge, that there are so many things happening si multaneously.
It's closing the border, fighting crime in Washington, d C.
Passing the largest tax increase in history, dealing with federal spending,
dealing with Gaza and Ukraine, and a host of other places.
(04:16):
I mean, we've never seen a president act even on
as many different fronts simultaneously. And the result is, I
think that there's a certain amount of confusion about what
does it all mean, what's going to happen? And many
years ago, Michael Baron, who was one of the great
students of American politics, noted that everywhere in the Western
(04:37):
world during the periods when the left wing media and
the left wing activists could dominate, the country would seem
to go towards the left. And then as you get
closer to an election, people started to pay attention, they
looked at at the arguments, and they began to shift
back to the right. And so what you have, I
think right now is a period where it's not clear
(04:59):
to people have going to work out. There's so many
things going on. This is partially Trump's style, which is
to frontally take on every single thing in parallel, but
it also means that at some point, probably not till
January February maybe with the State Union, they're going to
have to consolidate the message and get across to people
what they're trying to do. My hunch is that by
(05:22):
next summer, and this is truly a hunch, we're going
to see a dramatically stronger economy. We're going to see
massive investments, and we're going to see a level of
momentum towards a better America that's going to be very,
very shocking and very surprising. But in the short run,
it's the turmoil that people see and the confusion. You know,
you see this for example, negotiating all the tariffs simultaneously.
(05:46):
I mean, I think they have one hundred and seventy
tariff negotiations underway, all at the same time. So for
a normal person, this just seems like an awful lot
to be happening, and hard to understand the totality of it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I think that the reason I'm more optimistic, maybe
even than you are, is I see the building blocks
for economic success. We've learned historically that when you cut
taxes in spite of predictions of doom and gloom and
massive budget deficits, just the opposite ends up being true.
Reagan cut taxes the top marginal rates from seventy to
twenty eight percent revenues to the federal government double twenty
(06:22):
one million new jobs were created. It became at the
time the longest period of peacetime economic growth in the
history of the country. Add to that, and I don't
think you can actually calculate the impact on the economy.
But Trump opening up energy and pushing towards energy dominance
and making a deal with the European Union for nearly
a trillion dollars in committed purchases for our energy is incalculable.
(06:47):
Add to that the fifteen plus trillion dollars in committed
moneies in manufacturing for automobiles and pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips
and rare earths, all which are going to come online
very quickly because the One Big Beautiful Bill offers companies
that are involved in manufacturing one hundred percent bonus appreciation
(07:08):
in year one, which means it will incentivize them to
build these places and get these things up and running.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I think that's all right, and I don't look
I'm not in any way pessimistic. I think that by
next summer. I'm simply trying to describe. I think there's
a sense of turmoil. I think there's a sense of confusion.
I think if you look at the underlying fundamental patterns,
they are actually building towards a golden age in the future.
(07:36):
And if you look at the scale of the investment,
not just investment, but the scale of sales, the number
of if you're boeing Donald J. Trump is the best
salesman you've ever had, and the number of countries that
are now saying, you know, I'd like to buy some
more planes. Just by itself, would lead to a huge
impact on the economy. But as you point, it goes
way beyond that. The natural gas sales, the fact that
(07:58):
we're likely to have liquefied American natural gas replacing Russian
gas in Europe. That's both a big geopolitical win and
a big economic win. And a lot of these different
things are going on simultaneously. And I would say that
the challenge for us is that we're right in the
middle of setting the stage, but the stage isn't completely
(08:20):
set yet.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Listen, my hope and my prayer is and I'll tell
you what my hope in prayer is for is that
every American has this opportunity to prosper and to do well.
And I really believe that these manufacturing jobs and I
don't know why past presidents have given up on it.
I don't know if you recall, but Obama said that
it's never coming back, meaning automobile manufacturing and other manufacturing.
(08:45):
I'm like, why would you even want to believe that?
That makes zero sense to me? And here it is.
And you can add to the economic equation. You know,
the billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in moneys
that are going to be coming into the federal treasury.
I mean they're talking about, you know what, four trillion
dollars in savings over ten years because of tariffs. Everybody
(09:07):
predicted that would destroy the economy. Just the opposite ends
up being true. We saw a second quarter growth jump
to three point three percent. We now have an inflation
rate at the FED benchmark of two point zero percent,
which means that Jerome Powell, of my views, has no
choice but to lower interest rates. He'll be gone in May.
I would imagine the next FED chair is going to
(09:28):
drop interest rates immediately by at least a point.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh. I think you're gonna see inter the streets start
down in September.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I think you're right. But I think it's only going
to be zero point two five basis point because I
think he hates Trump more than he cares about the economy.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Although he did come out this week and say that
he thought unbalanced that Trump was right on tariffs.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He did say that, which was a pretty big concession
coming from him. I agree with that part.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It's like having the mayor of Washington explain that Trump
actually had reduced crime.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I mean, well, you can you explain it to me
it's inexplicable. You got fifty the eight people shot, you
got eight people dead, and that is a typical weekend
in Chicago. And the vitriol of the mayor and the
and the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago,
I can I can't explain it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well, look, they live in an echo chamber where you
start with Trump is evil. Therefore anything Trump's doing is bad.
Facts cannot be allowed to get in the middle. And
I think in Chicago to a peculiar degree, and it
may almost be racist in its background because this sense
of well, most of the people who get shot probably
(10:34):
deserved it, and that's just that that's a bad part
of the city. I mean, I actually saw somebody say this,
who is of Chicago the other day, was deeply opposed
to Trump coming in and said, look, all these killings
don't matter because they're not in our neighborhood. Well, I
think if you think everybody who's getting kill as an American,
they sure us that do matter. And I raised the
(10:54):
question on both excellent truth Socialist weekend. If a mayor
can't protect the people of the city, does the US
government have an obligation to protect them? If they're in
the process of getting shot and killed. And I think
this is a very important question because most of these
big cities are so anti police and so pro criminal.
I mean Fyota, New Orleans, example, which has a huge
(11:16):
crisis in crime. The last mayor, Mayor Landrew, reduced the
police force from fifteen hundred down to nine hundred. And
you take six hundred people off the street, you're going
to get a lot more crime. That's the kind of
attitude across the country that has crippled the police, increased
the crime level, and is done by politicians who are
frankly more pro criminal than they are pro safety.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I would continue, former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich
is with us. He been liberal. Joe was challenging the mayor,
Brandon Johnson, Well, if you had five thousand more cops,
He asked them five times in a row, do you
think that your city would be safer? The mayor would
not answer that simple question that he called on Abe Pritzker,
(12:00):
apparently to partner up with Trump after this deadly weekend
in Chicago. Now again, I think Joe has ulterior motives.
I think Joe realizes that legacy media and hating Trump
media is dead, So I think he's trying to you know,
kind of kind of salvage's career somehow. Good luck to him.
But even he is recognizing simple fundamental truth, which is
(12:23):
very rare for MSDNC.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Look, as far as I'm concerned, if he can come
out in favor of being a crime fighting liberal, I'm
free him staying on the air.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I don't have any problem with any of them staying
on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm perfectly
content with them all staying on the air because they're
doing so bad. I'm happy with that.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
But he might actually create a whole new niche as
a liberal who's opposed to crime.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well he could, but I mean you do have a
gubernatorial candidate in Virginia that's trying to be anti crime.
I mean it's sort of like the anti Mamdani strategy.
Knowing that Glenn Younkin is so popular that the only
way that they could win is to be something that
they're probably not, which is, you know, pro police, because
the Democrats have really really embraced the fund dismantled no
(13:10):
bail laws and reimagine the police and sending the social workers.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, well, she's also come out and said she wants
to turn Virginia into a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
She did say that part too, That is correct.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, and that's an invitation to crime, and she can't
square the circle. Look, it's very clear that she is
a very radical Democrat who is really good at pretending
to be.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Normal, really radical Democrat that's really good at pretending to
be normal. The whole party has been radicalized.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Jerry Natler retired, by the way, with most I am
predicting the odds of very high Schumer is going to retire,
especially if he thinks that AOC is going to challenge him.
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
No, I agree with you. I think I think Schumer
recognizes that in a statewide primary now that he has
a very high likely of loser.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Are you kidding? He has a seventeen percent approval rating
and AOC against Schumer in New York was it was
almost a thirty percent advantage. He's done, and that's why
he's afraid to take on the radicals that are now
running his party. Him and Minority Leader Jeffries are leaders
in name only to me.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well's and that's why the election next to will be
fascinating because it's going to be a referendum at one
level on Mundamie and AOC and Sanders and the whole
big government socialist model. And I think that model's about
an eighteen to twenty percent move.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
By the way, you saw it earlier today in Huntsville.
You know, when I was there, Redstone Arsenal, etc. And
are still there, we referred to it as Rocket City, USA,
confirming Space Force is going to move there. I'm happy
for the people of Huntsville. We met just outside of
Huntsville in nineteen ninety in a holiday and when I
interviewed you when for a speech you were giving, and.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You were a mere travel at the time.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I was. I was a little wrang back then, no
doubt about it. I needed a little more practice, mister speaker.
We always appreciate you being with us. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Take care well.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I noticed when I took a couple of days off
Rosy O'donald's back. ROSI O'donald. You know, we had this
this shooting that took place in Minneapolis at this school
and this church, such a sad tragedy, and you know,
did you notice, like I was, I love how the
media works. It's like he gets somebody on Twitter, what
(15:33):
a dumb idea? Hendity hood assume of this, What a
stupid idea? On next, you know when I said, well,
if you want to prevent school shootings, I think I
have a way. But if you, I said, if you
have a better way, tell me what it is. This
is why I don't read this. It only showed up
in an article that sweet baby James printed out for me, Linda.
I'm not sure if you saw it, and people were
(15:55):
trolling me for my suggestion. If you have a better idea,
I will fall on the sword. I'll even give a
reward for a better idea, because I'd rather keep kids
safe and alive and secure so that they can pursue
the talent God put inside them. Because the word education
is from the Latin derivative at duca da, which means
(16:16):
to bring forth from within. And I'm sure all of
these keyboard warriors in their underwear in their parents' basement
that are anonymous on X you will know all about
it as they're trolling me. What a dumb idea, What
a simplistic idea? And then it's picked up by all
the news services MS and you know, one one liberal
(16:38):
media outlet again, Legacy Media. They're dead. Then it's it's
picked up everywhere, it goes everywhere, you know. Then it's
on the Huffington Post and it's here and there. I'm like, James,
why are you handing me this crap? I don't care
what these people think. First of all, the people that
started the narrative are a bunch of people either naked
(16:58):
or in their underwear in their parents' basement, anonymously, you know,
spending all day on X because they don't have a job,
because otherwise they would have the intelligence to understand this
is a simple, effective solution. And what was my idea
that was so horrible that it deserved all of these articles.
(17:18):
That every school in America should have metal detectors, every
one of them. Everyone should have retired trained military, retired
trained law enforcement, not only surrounding the outside in the
perimeter to make sure that nobody can get in the
school and something can happen. Well, there's shot from outside, Hannity. Okay,
(17:40):
if you're outside the perimeter, you have a guy out
there with a gun. And I'm not saying to put
people in military camouflage. No, they would be playing closed
people that probably the kids would come to love and respect,
and maybe they'd come into the love and respect law enforcement.
I wonder if these idiotic critics that have covered every
shooting from Columbine on down have if they have a
(18:01):
better idea than I do. I'm willing to fall on
the sword and say your idea is better. This isn't
about who is right. It's a matter of what is right.
It's a matter of keeping kids in schools safe and secure.
It's simple for me. I want to I'd like children
to go home to mommy and daddy at night. Simple.
So I'd like metal detectors in every school in the country,
(18:23):
every single one. I'd like retired trained law enforcement, retired
trained military set up a voluntary system where they can
they can generously donate maybe a day week, maybe two
days a week. And as a means of compensating them,
how about we take away all local taxes, state taxes,
(18:47):
federal taxes, and if they spend long enough on the
job doing that, we'll take away there are state tax
which basically means you're going to have security provided by
trained professionals for free. Why this became a viral moment
I don't understand. Now if you think at home listening
(19:07):
to this radio programmer, you're in your car, or you're
in the gym, I don't know where you are, and
you think I'm dumb, call me. I want to know
why you think it's dumb, because I do believe the
legacy medium mob that obsessed over this before I took
a couple of days off can take a whole week off.
(19:27):
Took a couple of days off? What three days off
for the holiday weekend? And before I this is what
I said before I went away, the last show that
I did, And then all of a sudden, sweet Baby
James has to hit me with fifteen articles about he's
an idiot. Linda, you'd be the first. You would love
(19:48):
to call me an idiot if you could. Do you
think you know?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Back in New York, Will we were doing fake news
hour in the five point thirty anymore? Is that coming back?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'm just is there anything dumb about that? I no.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I think that people most of the people making rules
and laws for our children number one do not have children.
Number two have never worked in a school building, nor
do they know anything about it. They don't go to
the school board meetings. They don't know what the school
looks like. They don't go to orientation night. They just
talk out of their ass. I will say one thing
we could add to this conversation is our sponsor, Berna,
(20:24):
has something called a shield, and I have one for
all of my kids. They all have one, either in
their cars or in their backpacks, and they take them
with them to classes in schools and it literally will
stop a bullet. So if you have a child who's
of school age, you can.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Put I would say, I would put I would put
it in the backpack. I'd put it in every school classroom,
so you have something. If you watch the scene, there
was that previous shooting. I don't even remember where it was.
The guy that was in an office building and then.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
They here in Columbus, Columbus Circle.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They arricaded the office buildings and shut them dark.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
It was two blocks a wy.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, well you are in New York.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Sorry, well sorry, but I mean you know here in
New York where we are. You know where the show
is the studio. Sorry, I know you love Florida, but
some of us.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are My show originates from the Free State of Florida.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Well, some of us have to live here in barricaded country.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You choose to live here. I don't want to hear
that you have to live there. You choose, but you
even left. But here's the thing. Now, let's go around
the horn here, Ethan. Was this a dumb idea?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Great idea, okay, jac you know gives me mister B
minus over here? What do I get? I think I
gave you a B. So take it easy. Your idea
was very good. It's an actual idea. We're looking for
people who actually have an idea. Would it worked? Do
you think my idea would work? Yes, it would work,
and thank you most cases, in most probably every case,
(21:51):
because it would prevent people from even daring to try anymore. Katie, Yes,
I think it would work.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I actually like your idea with this, simply safe of
having the AI cameras out there too when intruders come
onto the property too.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Of course you use technology.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
The same people that are saying it wouldn't work also
said the National Guard wouldn't stop any crime in DC,
so they're trong.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I mean it's pretty bad, listen, I've been at this
a long time. You weren't even born when this radio
show started just for the record, so in all truth,
when sweet baby James hands me a pile of garbage
of people attacking me. Now, there have been over the
years legitimate listener or viewer feedback that I listened to,
(22:36):
and I'm like, okay, obviously this is an organized effort
to prevent law enforcement, train law enforcement, and train military
people from ever getting near a school. They don't just
like they don't want the guard in DC, just like
they don't want the guard in Chicago. Fifty eight shot
(22:57):
eight dead. But they're doing a great job. And that's
a predictable weekend. Anyway, Rosie O'Donnell I see while I
was away, you know, jumped on this and called the
shooter a Republican maga person. Wait, supremacist.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
So about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right
back to Columbine in nineteen ninety nine, when I just
could not get it through my head that students in
America were shooting each other in schools and this was
a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you
know was a white guy, Republican.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
White guy, maga, propublican maga.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
What do you know?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What do you know? White supremact white supremacist wrong, and
then she was called out on lying and rushing to judgment,
and she apologized.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I know a lot of you were very upset about
the video I made before I went away for a
few days. I didn't go online and haven't seen them
till today. But you are right. I did not do
my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and
I said things about the shooter that were incorrect. I assumed,
like most shooters, they followed a standard mo O and
(24:11):
had standard you know, feelings of you know, NRA love
and kind of gun people. Anyway, the truth is I
messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up.
I'm sorry. This is my apology video, and I hope.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's enough, Rosie. As long as you stay away in Ireland,
it's enough. I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
You can.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You can sound dumb all you want. All right, let's
get to our busy telephones. Eight hundred and nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Hutch is in Minnesota. Hey, Hutch, how are you glad?
You called doing good?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Real quick? Give you a quick background. Retired US Infantry
combat arms work with Saint Paul Bomb Squad worked with
SWAT teams here in the state of Minnesota. Right after
nineteen ninety nine. April was when the shooting took place
Combine May. I went in and I talked with some
individuals in the school system, told them exactly what you
(25:10):
were talking about last week and the you know, of
having retired military personnel on hand to confront anybody that
comes in. And they said, we don't need anything that extreme,
and that's kind of been their viewpoint ever since to
this day.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, how's it working out for them?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah, not very well. One thing I would kind of
point out, Seanna you said last week, I'd say the
whole burner think, great for a teacher, but you want
to meet the individual that's trying to get in with
firearms of superior firepower, so you know, same thing. Don't
bring a nice to a gunfight. Don't bring a burner
to somebody that's got powder going off.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, listen, there are situations that I think it could
be very effective. Linda particularly was talking about the shield.
But if you have trained, armed, retired military and law
enforcement people that have devoted their whole lives to protecting others,
I think it would be a smart thing to do.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Oh outstanding, because you know, but the one thing I
kind of disagree with. I kind of think in the
realm of they'd be kind of in the officer in
an area somewhere around the school, watching them other. And
they're not really to become super friendly with the kids,
not mean to the kids, but they're basically they're break
glass in case of a perpetrator, you know what I mean. Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
But however, if you had enough volunteers, it would be good. Anyway,
I appreciate you checking in with us. God bless you.
Thank you for your service. By the way, Jeff at
North Carolina, what's up, Jeff? How are you?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
First?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
First off, thank you for what you do. You have
no idea. I've been listening for twenty five plus years
and it's just great to finally talk to you. Philadelphia, Nashville, Aberdeen, Denver.
They were all trans, Minneapolis trans. The Colorado Springs guy
(27:09):
was non binary. From what we can establish through listening
to everybody, they all take the same almost the same
hormone pills. They they're on the same drugs, They've been
through the same system. There's got to be some kind
of similarity there, that's something that they're taking is is wrong.
(27:36):
It's wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Well, first of all, we don't know what this person
was on. We don't have a toxicology report. It'll take
some time to get it. And I don't know. It's
funny you bring this up because when I was off
a couple of days, Caitlyn Jenner called me about this issue,
and it's upset that they're they're jumping the gun and
saying it's trans related, trans related to etc. Let me
(28:02):
just speak more broadly in generally, because we don't have
any facts about this individual in terms of whether or
not they were transitioning or not transitioning medications. You know,
it could be antidepressive medicine, that could be We're an
over prescribed society and we definitely need to look at
prescription medications for young adults and ask ourselves whether or
(28:27):
not there is a connection to that and this type
of behavior period. And that means all medications. And I
don't know what an answer we're going to come up with.
I think there's an appropriate time and place for everything
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
That's going to wrap things up today, Hannity. Tonight, we
got a Great Show nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
