Rep. Andy Harris, of Maryland, is one of the 12 Cardinals on the Appropriations Committee, so he has extensive knowledge and influence when it comes to the Appropriations process, continuing resolutions, and funding the government. Originally, the “laddered CR” was his brainchild because he felt that it would avoid a Christmas omnibus and incentivize the Senate to pass individual bills or smaller groups of bills. His statement after the news that Speaker Johnson adopted this approach is below. He voted against the last CR put forward by McCarthy because he felt it would lead to an omnibus. He is also a Freedom Caucus member. He will vote in favor of this CR because he believes it marks a change to the way Washington does business and will set the Appropriations process back on the right track. He is also the only Republican in Congress representing Maryland.

Well, well, come in your city, wanna play I gets
and saying you a conscious zune. We'll all be entire.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And if you want a little banging agin me ain't
coming along.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, one thing we haven't agreed to is a cease fire.
A cease fire with Kamas means surrender to comas, surrender
to term. There won't be a cease fire without the
release of the Israeli hostages.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
And then do we go back to bombing.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
No, four hours.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We don't want four hours, we don't want sixteen hours,
we don't want twenty two. We want a cease fire now.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
So the situation at the border you're saying is not
a disaster.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Freedom is back in style.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
That we have coming.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
To your site. Don't want to play I gets tars
and say new a conscious Silen.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The New Sean Hennity Show more behind the scenes information
on freaking news.
Speaker 7 (01:09):
And more bold inspired solutions for America Night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Our two Sean Hennity Show toll free on numbers eight
hundred and nine point one. Shawn, if you want to
be a part of the program. We discussed earlier moodies
on Friday, lowering their outlook on the US credit rating
to negative from stable, citing large fiscal deficits decline and
debt affordability, a move that drew immediate criticism from President
(01:35):
Joe Biden's administration. I mean what I mean with thirty
four trillion dollars in debt? What part of this? And
they not getting uh. But anyway, they go on to
point out that federal spending political polarization have been a
rising concern for investors, contributing to a selloff that took
the US government bond prices now to their lowest levels
(01:56):
in sixteen years.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And of course we have a a deadline as it
relates to you know another quote threatened shut down, not
something by the way that I get all worked up about.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
To be very blunt.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And you know, if you look at Republicans and I mean,
you're dealing with a very tiny majority, number one, it
just is what it is. I wish it wasn't the case,
but it is what it is. And then you have
different factions within the Republican Party and it is, you know,
it is. It is going to be a real uphill
(02:33):
battle climb, if you will, for the Republicans in the
House to come together with a plan. Now, the Speaker
of the House, Speaker Johnson, is already facing some internal
opposition as it relates to what he's proposed, which is
a two step plan to avert the shutdown this weekend.
And this bill would tee up two different funding deadlines
(02:54):
from different agencies and programs, the first on January nineteenth,
the other on February sevenecond and Johnson said that he
wants to and is going to stop the absurd holiday
season omnibus tradition one last year, which was insane. I
was on vacation, of course when they did it. But anyway,
(03:15):
you already have a number of people like Congresswoman Marjorie
Taylor Green and Davidson and others you know, that are
absolute nos. So I'm not sure exactly where this go.
Here's Speaker Johnson saying we may not get all the
appropriation bills done by November seventeenth. Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
The reason I look a little haggard this morning, Shannon,
is because I was up late last night. We worked
through the weekend on a stopgap measure. We recognize that
we may not get all the appropriations bills done by
this deadline. Of November seventeenth, but we are going to
continue in good faith. And the difference between what we
call on Capitol Hill a continuing resolution now and what
we've dealt with in years past is that this would
(03:54):
allow us time, and everybody understands allow us time to
continue this appropriation's process. We're committed to bringing twelve bills
to the floor as the law, statutory law requires Congress
to do. That hasn't been done in many years. But again,
we're changing the way Washington works because we believe it
needs to be more accountable and more transparent for the people.
And so we're going to fight that fight every single
(04:15):
day and we'll get.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
That job done.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So you've got really five separate factions within the Republican Party.
Actually it was a fairly it was informational in some ways.
I'm not a big fan of the Washington Post, but anyway,
so Speaker Johnson has been meeting with these ideological factions.
If you look at what the plan is, the first
bill would fund the government until January nineteenth, including appropriations
(04:41):
for agriculture, military construction, veterans affairs, energy, water. The second
bill would include the other appropriations bills the bills will
stop the Omnibus altogether. Israeli Israel funding is not currently
expected to be attached to the must pass stop gaps anyway,
Maybe help break it down for us. I'm not sure
(05:02):
if it's going to be totally clear. I'm gonna get
him his best shot at it. Representative Andy Harris of Maryland,
he's one of twelve, one of the twelve on the
appropriations committees. You have twelve appropriations that should be passed
at least by the end and hopefully passed before the
end of the fiscal year previous year again ending September thirtieth.
(05:24):
But you know, otherwise you end up with a c
R continuing resolution. Democrats almost always want to what they
call a clean CR. What does a clean CR means
he keeps spending at current levels? Well, if you keep
spending at current levels, that means the two trillion that
Joe Biden put on a national debt in last the
last fiscal year alone would continue. And that's obviously unsustainable.
(05:45):
And Moody's is confirming that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Anyway. Congressman Andy Harris, how are you.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sir ah good? Good to be with you, Sean Am.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I outlining this the right way.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Well, I think it's it's a little more complicated than that,
because what we have to do is we have to
avoid that omnibus spending bill. You know that last year
it was one point seven trillion dollars, and Sean, it
was more than one hundred billion dollars above what the
appropriations committees had decided on because they threw what's called
supplemental funding in there, which they never pay for, and
it's hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The Speaker
(06:21):
rightly a couple of weeks ago past the Israel funding,
but he paid for it with IRS agent funding. So
he broke tradition, and that's what we have to do.
Now he's breaking tradition again. The Democrats want a clean
cr that ends before Christmas. Why because they want to
jam another big, massive omnibus bill that's going to spend
(06:44):
one hundred billion more than the committees have agreed on.
That's not the way to do business, and the fiscal
markets got it right last week. We are we're in
a precarious situation. We can't continue doing business the way
we've been doing it, Sean, and that's what the speed
wants to do. He wants to break with the way
we've been doing business, and his first action on Israel
(07:06):
actually paying for that aid was one step. This is
the second step. Let's break up this continuing resolution. There
are four bills that we can easily conference on before January.
We should get them out of the way so we
don't have an omnibus at some point.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Where are you with these varying factions, though, I mean
they are a competing political interest within your own conference, there.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Certainly are shown there. Look, there's some of my fellow
colleagues on the Freedom Caucus that I think are going
to oppose the Speaker's plan, but I think it's the
right plan for now. Look, we're not going to win
the victory this week, but we're going to take a
small step toward it. And every time, you know, as
you said, this is an uphill climb, and uphill climbs
are characterized by small steps. This is what he took
(07:50):
a step with the Israel funding. He's going to take
another step now by breaking up these continuing resolutions into
smaller pieces so that we don't get an omnibus bill.
And then finally, the third step to do next year's
appropriations process the way it's supposed to be done, one
bill at a time.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
How do we deal with the rest of the rest
of this fiscal year, which started at October one.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Well, we're going to have to do is We're going
to have to go to conference with the Senate. We're
going to have to I believe, hold to the to
the deal that was made on the Fiscal Responsibility Act,
which set caps. I think we're going to have to
hold to that. And I'm afraid that if we go
to an omnibus bill, we won't. So we've we've got
to go into negotiation with the Senate. The Speaker's plan,
(08:32):
I think makes that much more likely. And that's what
this country needs right now. We need to restore fiscal
sanity by actually stopping doing the way the usual way
we do things in Washington, and that's what this Speaker
is doing.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So let me ask you, how do you get the
more moderate members of Congress to go along with this?
Because I imagine some of them would probably want the omnibus,
some of them, you know, want a clean cr.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Well, I think on our side of the aisle we
probably don't have any of those. And I think that
there are going to be some Democrats who look at
this plan and say, and the way I know that
it's a good plan because the Democrats criticized it a
week ago. They said it was ridiculous, they said it
was bizarre, They said there was no way they were
going to consider it. The Speaker puts it out over
the weekend, and now they're going to set now they said, well, yeah,
(09:18):
we're going to have to consider it. That's right because
politically it avoids a shutdown, but it breaks up the
way business is usually done in Washington. So I think
it's the right plan at the right time, right now,
because we don't have runway to do a whole lot
more this week.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, honestly, I mean you did have a few Democrats
say they don't like the two step approach, but they
would likely support it for the reasons I think you
just stated here, what does this mean for the average America?
Because you know, it's pretty hard to decipher, you know,
all these different rules and procedures you all go through
there in Washington, and people's eyes glaze over when they're
(09:52):
hearing this.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Well, it means that it's much more likely that their
tax dollars are going to be protected because when you
go through the no no process of considering each built,
each bill individually, not an omenobus bill, you're much more
likely to cut out the wasteful spending because it doesn't
get lost in the cracks, it doesn't get lost in
a four thousand page bill, you know. I think that's
the way you start fiscal responsibility. And this is the
(10:16):
right step. I think the Democrats, they're significant number of Democrats,
we are going to join the Republicans in backing this.
We're going to get it over to the Senate tomorrow,
and I think the Senate is just going to have
to say, yeah, we don't have time to do anything else.
This is reasonable. And I think the President, even though
he said he wouldn't sign it last week, I think
he signs it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's going to be interesting to see. We'll find out,
I guess by Friday or Saturday.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Right, Oh, we definitely will find out by Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, well know for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Anyway, if you get any more details, please keep us
in the loop. Kiversman, Andy Harris, and Maryland one of
the twelve big appropriations leaders. Appreciate you being with us, sir.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Thanks Sean eight hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And nine four one sewn on number if you want
to be a part of the program. Dan in Illinois, Dan,
you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Hi, how are you doing this morning this afternoon?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'm good, sir. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Well, I'm just curious. I was watching the Trump's fraud
trial and I was just curious, why wouldn't he call
Letitia James up to the witness stand to find out
why she's picking on him and what her logic was
to bring all these flony fraud charges against him?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, number one, that would never be allowed to happen
with this charge. Listen, you have a judge that's looking
at a property, you know, anywhere from eight hundred million
dollars to over a billion, and he's still sticking with
an eighteen million dollar figure in terms of what he
thinks its valuation is. Now the ironic part of it is.
(11:48):
And by the way, a judge that also said I'm
not here to hear Donald Trump speak. I'm like, you're not, then,
why the hell are you there? Why are we even
having It's not even a trial at this point. I
mean he he ruled in summary judgment against Trump before
this ever even got started. Anyway, you did have by
the way, at least a phonic filing a complaint against
the judge overseeing all of this, and he filed her
(12:11):
complaint against the guy's name is Judge Arthur and Goron
and the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, arguing
and alleging that he's not honoring Donald Trump's right to
do process that's at a fair trial. By the way,
that is that is an understatement. But all of this
is personal here, I mean what they want to do.
(12:33):
Understand this, you want to cancel and by the way,
a campaign promise made by multiple people in New York
from the Age to Das and others, to go after
one man, Trump want one family, the Trump family, want organization,
the Trump organization, And now the New York Attorney General
is seeking to exclude Trump's expert witnesses. I'm like, huh,
(12:55):
we can't hear from them either, you know, the judge,
even though the judge has been hold over and over again.
That is valuation, which is the very it's at the
heart of what they're accusing Trump of. And meanwhile, every
contract Donald Trump has in every loan application he made,
every insurance application that he made, he says, don't use
our numbers. And every company has a produciary responsibility, they've
(13:20):
got to come up with their numbers.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You think you're gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
If you're a lender, you're gonna use the numbers provided
the evaluations provided by the borrower. Ever, no, that's not
how loans are made. Everybody was paid back. You don't
have anybody complaining, either a lender or an insurance company.
So I mean the whole thing has been a fraud.
Then then not only that, he'll never be able to
(13:45):
do business again, his properties will be put in some
type of receivership or conservative conservership, and like Britney spears
for crying out loud, and then of course they can
find him up to two hundred and fifty million dollars
maybe more with this judge, who knows what's gonna happ
I just.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Think it'd be fun to get in upon the witness standarcy,
and if they deny it, it's even be more fun.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, it's it's just not gonna happen. This is this
is not to me.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This is why I keep saying I don't think Donald
Trump can get a fair trial in New York or
DC or Fulton County, Georgia. And and I think you're
going to see a lot of it here and a
lot of it next year. Let's get to our busy
telephones here. Jay is in New Jersey. What's happened in
Jay and Joysey? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Man?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Yeah, hey, Sawn, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
I just wanted to ask you your opinion on you know,
Tim Scott dropping that last night. You know, I never
liked Tim Scott. I find quite unimpressive. But what I
was impressed by was the fact that he just realized,
you know, time's up, and if he actually cared about
the presidential race uniting behind somebody and.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
He realized that he he better get out now.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
The same is not to be said.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
For Christy or a Vake. I think that if those
guys would get out with.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Nikki Haley, Dendess, Sanders would have a good chance at
at you know, getting Trump to debate him, which.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Would actually be the last way.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
To know if anybody else is viable.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Did you say viable or valuable? I didn't I heard
of both ways. I'm sure you've been viable. Well let
me say this first. I disagree with your comment about
Tim Scott, and I know him personally, so maybe I'm
biased to my views. I'm going to tell you something.
He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met my life.
He really is. He's got the nicest family. I've met
(15:36):
his mom, yes, his girlfriend, I've actually, you know, I
don't know if I should divulge this. I actually did
a Bible study with him and his pastors recently, did
the nicest, most sincere people you ever want to meet
in your life, and I learned a lot from all
of them. And I'm just telling you he's an awesome guy.
(15:56):
And what you see is what you get.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
This is a man that literally, what does he say
from one generation, you know, from picking cotton to you know,
the US Senate, some phrase like that, Linda, can you
check that cotton to Congress?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is what he says.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean, his life story is phenomenal. His mom's sweetheart,
his family just all sweethearts. I mean, they're just wonderful people.
And the fact that you know people like him are
in government gives me some hope and confidence that we
can fix things and change things around. He's also a fighter,
and you know, I could tell you the people South
Carolina absolutely love him. Any time I've ever been around him,
(16:36):
they love him.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
An he's a very special guy. I'll tell you that line.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I would love him too. I don't As a presidential candidate,
I did.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Not feel he was strong enough on the issues.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I could be.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
He calls it an optimist.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
I just call it not aggressive enough.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
All right, So you didn't like his presidential campaign. Maybe
it wasn't his time, as he said, and maybe it's
not other people's time, which you know, time will tell.
I think it's going to be an uphill climb for
anybody to be President Trump right now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But we'll see. Uh, And you.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Know that's that's what this process does it, you know,
kind of you vet people, you weed him out, and
that's kind of way it goes. So over time, we're
going to see. I think, uh, you're probably right in
your observation. I think the polls have confirmed that beyond
President Trump, the next two popular candidates are Governor DeSantis
(17:30):
and Nikki Helly.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, Christy is just staying in there at
one percent just to bash Trump on debate stages.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I won't even I.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Won't waste my time even talking to him, he's will
waste the time. He's being used by the liberal media.
He's all over fake News C and he's all over
ms DNC, and they're using him just to just you know,
bash Trump. Well that that's pretty much their entire lineup.
You know, that's pretty much every contributor they have. He doesn't.
(18:01):
He's just not a serious candidate to me. And he's
and by the way, he's been whining and complaining to
people that don't that that I won't put him on
a show. I'm like, you're wasting my time. I'm not
going to waste my time with you. I'd rather talk
to you. To be very honest, Jay, you're right. Sn
guy left office with a fourteen percent approval ratings. That's
a real that's a real vote of confidence. And how
(18:24):
great a governor he was. Anyway, man, appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let us say hi to Kathy is in the Ocean state,
Rhode Island, Beautiful Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I got a question for you, Kathy. Where in Rhode
Island are you?
Speaker 10 (18:38):
I'm in Cranston right now.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, have you.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Been to Newport and have you been to the Black
Pearl yes, and yes, Okay, how great is that clam chowder?
Speaker 10 (18:49):
I'm not a seafood fan.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Oh, Kathy, you're killing me all right. Have you been
to the Inner Castle Hill? I'm sure you've been there.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Yes, Yes, that's a different story.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's an amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Place, tacular, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (19:04):
Well, speaking of Rhode Island, I just want to say
that last week you threw out a question about the
next election, and that is, what are the Democrats going
to run on besides abortion? Well, here, I think that
we should have been part of the red wave. We
had a Republican former mayor of Cranston who was very popular,
(19:26):
really ahead in the polls comfortably up until three weeks
before the election when the Democrat candidates started to run
an ad about where the Republicans are going to take
away your social Security and your Medicare.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
And at that.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Point the wind went out of the room. The candidate
who was the Republican who should have won, he was
way way ahead. This commercial over and over kept telling
the audience You're going to lose your social Security and
then Medicare if the Republicans win, and the Democrat won
that race, that should have been a Republican seat for
(20:01):
Congress easily until that started happening. And Ronald McDaniel said
that she's not the Republican R and C shouldn't be
sending the message. Well, the Democrats did because I saw
a commercial from New Hampshire which was the exact same commercial,
only with Maggie Hassen and instead of our candidate, and
(20:22):
it was the same commercial targeting people for Medicare and
social Security. And in my opinion, as much as abortion
as a hot button issue, Medicare and social security is
a hot button issue for a lot of people. And
the Republicans have to start messaging that a what the
problems are with sturity in Medicare and keeping it in
(20:42):
keeping it in good shape, and what they are going
to do about it, and they get a hammer that
message home. The Democrats are doing it. The Republicans need
to do it because it's a large segment of the
voting population and I'm telling you it's changed the course
of at least one congressional seat here.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, I got to tell you something. I know a
lot about Rhode Island. I lived there for five years.
I don't know if you know that. In my past.
It was in the in the mid eighties, so you know,
I know things have changed a little bit, but it's
a pretty liberal state and it's very difficult the fact
that you even had a Republican mayor of Cranston, which
is a nice place. I think every part of Rhode
(21:21):
Island's a nice place. But I lived in Warren, Rhode
Island at the time, and I went to the old
Stone Bank.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Does the old Stone Bank still exist? I don't even know.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
No, No, they were part of the collapse of the FDIC.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Remember Fernand Saint Jermain was in charge of all this
and then he got in a lot of trouble. And
by the way, I became friends with Buddy Cianc. I
know he got in trouble once, but the guy was
a pistol. I know he passed away, but that guy
cracked me up. He used to come on our show.
He had the best stories about his time in prison
that I've ever heard of my life. But it is
a pretty liberal state, honestly, I just I don't see
(21:59):
a lot hope in There are conservatives in the state,
but I don't see a lot of hope for any
races there.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
But you know what, Gina Ramundo, now Commerce Secretary, when
she was governor here, which was just before she was appointed,
she had her legislature codify abortion. So abortion was not
an issue here. There was no threat to abortion here.
That was kind of off the table. The issue became
social security and medicare. And I think women across the
(22:27):
country it'll dawn on them. Abortion is not illegal. It's
not convenient, maybe as it was before, but it's not
that you can't do it if you feel you you know,
however you lean the emotional pointing to the people who
are vulnerable with their social security and medicare is the
same thing as people who feel they're vulnerable by having
(22:50):
no access to abortion. I think no, and I really
think that it made a huge difference here.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I just want people to be realistic, you know, like
I cannot tell you with any So what's going to
happen a year from now in this presidential race. I
don't know. I don't know. I don't know what the
state of the world's going to be. Like the economy,
I mean, every indication is it's getting worse and worse
and worse. There is nothing that I can point to
that I could say that Joe Biden's been successful on
(23:17):
but yet you know, Donald Trump has got four criminal
trials possibly scheduled the next year, three in venues that
I'm not confident at all you can even get a
fair trial.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
So anyway, I think that's why he has so much sympathy.
Quite honestly, everyone realizes it's not fair.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
The final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
You do not want to miss it and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for All on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Right back to our busy phones. Frank in Texas. What's up, Frank,
the free state of Texas. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Man?
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I just call him, Sean to honor Veterans Day in
all of our veterans and pay it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
People of our military today, these people.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Of special people. You know, my father would never talk
to me. I never understood it.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Sean, and what grandfathers had fought in the Civil War.
And believe this or not, one was a Southerner and
he sided with Abraham Lincoln and he got captured during
the war and went to Andersonville Prison. Could you believe
that one Derman wouldn't have taken at the time, He
probably wouldn't even have made it out of there alive.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I mean the risk.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
When you think of a thing about this, imagine you're,
you know, a nineteen year old kid slamming the beaches
in Normandy, and.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
At the very end of it, he went to the
Battle of the Balls and all the big battles Sean,
and at the end he was in Germany. He was
one of the first ones to open the gate up
at Bougen Vault Prison and you'll imagine what he saw.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I could just imagine, thank you, by the way for
the call. I could just imagine, you know, being a
nineteen year old kid and you arrive at on the
beaches of Normandy and you know, you're not in the
ocean anymore. It's just red water, red salt water from
all the blood from all the people slaughtered as they
(27:12):
slammed those beaches. And you know, I just can't imagine
what one would think or live with. Maybe maybe that's
why my father never wanted to talk about his experience
in World War Two. He fought four years in the Pacific,
lost a number of his friends during that war, and
just unbelievable. At one point, my dad did tell me
(27:33):
one story that he had to go do something I
don't remember what, and that when he came back, one
of the guys that he had left in the same
area that he was at was dead. I remember him
telling me that story, but he didn't want to talk
about it ever. These people are amazing, you know, we
take it for granted. We live in freedom and liberty,
(27:56):
so I'm so worried about you know, this new access
of evil. We are Prime Minister net In Yahu on
tonight on Hannity, and we're going to talk to him
at length about the varying enemies that surround and want
to destroy Israel. They want to destroy the country anyway.
Eight hundred and nine point one Sean our number, Gregg
in California.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's up, Greg.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I hope you're looking forward to your governor debating Governor DeSantis.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's November thirtieth. I your host, will be the moderator.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
That's going to be awesome.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
I can't wait to watch that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's gonna be pretty, that's gonna be musty TV. I
hope for people.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
The reason I was calling is everybody talks about, you know,
numbers of migrants coming through Texas, probably because it's a
red state. But I'm curious out in California, nobody talks
about migrants coming through our California southern border, and just
with the policies that we have, I'm curious if you
have any numbers as to you know, if it's just
(28:53):
open door, if it's in a question.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I gave out numbers at the beginning of the show today,
I'll give it to you again.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
If you want.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
You know, if you look at the first batch of
illegal immigrants, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Put it to you this way.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
If you look at FAIR, which is the Federation of
American Immigration Reform, they estimate that for twenty twenty three alone,
the illegal immigrant crisis will cost you, the American taxpayers,
over one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Okay not does
that not put four undred and fifty one billion if
(29:30):
you look at it over time. That's what their estimates are.
I mean, you've got all of these you know, we're
now up to about eight million illegal immigrants if you
count the godaways, that's a lot of people. And then
we have to provide food and shelter and healthcare and
you know education. It's it's we can't afford it. We
(29:52):
just can't afford it. And it's killing the American people.
And by the way, in New York now they're thinking
about having an illegal immigration the immigrant tax.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You just can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anyway, Appreciate the call, my friend, eight hundred and ninety
four one Sean if you want to be a part
of the program.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Marshall Blackburn at the top of the next hour,
Well, well, come in your city, wanna play I gets
and saying you a conscious zune. We'll all be entire.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And if you want a little banging agin me ain't
coming along.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, one thing we haven't agreed to is a cease fire.
A cease fire with Kamas means surrender to comas, surrender
to term. There won't be a cease fire without the
release of the Israeli hostages.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
And then do we go back to bombing.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
No, four hours.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We don't want four hours, we don't want sixteen hours,
we don't want twenty two. We want a cease fire now.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
So the situation at the border you're saying is not
a disaster.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Freedom is back in style.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
That we have coming.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
To your site. Don't want to play I gets tars
and say new a conscious Silen.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The New Sean Hennity Show more behind the scenes information
on freaking news.
Speaker 7 (01:09):
And more bold inspired solutions for America Night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Our two Sean Hennity Show toll free on numbers eight
hundred and nine point one. Shawn, if you want to
be a part of the program. We discussed earlier moodies
on Friday, lowering their outlook on the US credit rating
to negative from stable, citing large fiscal deficits decline and
debt affordability, a move that drew immediate criticism from President
(01:35):
Joe Biden's administration. I mean what I mean with thirty
four trillion dollars in debt? What part of this? And
they not getting uh. But anyway, they go on to
point out that federal spending political polarization have been a
rising concern for investors, contributing to a selloff that took
the US government bond prices now to their lowest levels
(01:56):
in sixteen years.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And of course we have a a deadline as it
relates to you know another quote threatened shut down, not
something by the way that I get all worked up about.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
To be very blunt.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And you know, if you look at Republicans and I mean,
you're dealing with a very tiny majority, number one, it
just is what it is. I wish it wasn't the case,
but it is what it is. And then you have
different factions within the Republican Party and it is, you know,
it is. It is going to be a real uphill
(02:33):
battle climb, if you will, for the Republicans in the
House to come together with a plan. Now, the Speaker
of the House, Speaker Johnson, is already facing some internal
opposition as it relates to what he's proposed, which is
a two step plan to avert the shutdown this weekend.
And this bill would tee up two different funding deadlines
(02:54):
from different agencies and programs, the first on January nineteenth,
the other on February sevenecond and Johnson said that he
wants to and is going to stop the absurd holiday
season omnibus tradition one last year, which was insane. I
was on vacation, of course when they did it. But anyway,
(03:15):
you already have a number of people like Congresswoman Marjorie
Taylor Green and Davidson and others you know, that are
absolute nos. So I'm not sure exactly where this go.
Here's Speaker Johnson saying we may not get all the
appropriation bills done by November seventeenth. Here's what he said.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
The reason I look a little haggard this morning, Shannon,
is because I was up late last night. We worked
through the weekend on a stopgap measure. We recognize that
we may not get all the appropriations bills done by
this deadline. Of November seventeenth, but we are going to
continue in good faith. And the difference between what we
call on Capitol Hill a continuing resolution now and what
we've dealt with in years past is that this would
(03:54):
allow us time, and everybody understands allow us time to
continue this appropriation's process. We're committed to bringing twelve bills
to the floor as the law, statutory law requires Congress
to do. That hasn't been done in many years. But again,
we're changing the way Washington works because we believe it
needs to be more accountable and more transparent for the people.
And so we're going to fight that fight every single
(04:15):
day and we'll get.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
That job done.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So you've got really five separate factions within the Republican Party.
Actually it was a fairly it was informational in some ways.
I'm not a big fan of the Washington Post, but anyway,
so Speaker Johnson has been meeting with these ideological factions.
If you look at what the plan is, the first
bill would fund the government until January nineteenth, including appropriations
(04:41):
for agriculture, military construction, veterans affairs, energy, water. The second
bill would include the other appropriations bills the bills will
stop the Omnibus altogether. Israeli Israel funding is not currently
expected to be attached to the must pass stop gaps anyway,
Maybe help break it down for us. I'm not sure
(05:02):
if it's going to be totally clear. I'm gonna get
him his best shot at it. Representative Andy Harris of Maryland,
he's one of twelve, one of the twelve on the
appropriations committees. You have twelve appropriations that should be passed
at least by the end and hopefully passed before the
end of the fiscal year previous year again ending September thirtieth.
(05:24):
But you know, otherwise you end up with a c
R continuing resolution. Democrats almost always want to what they
call a clean CR. What does a clean CR means
he keeps spending at current levels? Well, if you keep
spending at current levels, that means the two trillion that
Joe Biden put on a national debt in last the
last fiscal year alone would continue. And that's obviously unsustainable.
(05:45):
And Moody's is confirming that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Anyway. Congressman Andy Harris, how are you.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Sir ah good? Good to be with you, Sean Am.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I outlining this the right way.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Well, I think it's it's a little more complicated than that,
because what we have to do is we have to
avoid that omnibus spending bill. You know that last year
it was one point seven trillion dollars, and Sean, it
was more than one hundred billion dollars above what the
appropriations committees had decided on because they threw what's called
supplemental funding in there, which they never pay for, and
it's hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The Speaker
(06:21):
rightly a couple of weeks ago past the Israel funding,
but he paid for it with IRS agent funding. So
he broke tradition, and that's what we have to do.
Now he's breaking tradition again. The Democrats want a clean
cr that ends before Christmas. Why because they want to
jam another big, massive omnibus bill that's going to spend
(06:44):
one hundred billion more than the committees have agreed on.
That's not the way to do business, and the fiscal
markets got it right last week. We are we're in
a precarious situation. We can't continue doing business the way
we've been doing it, Sean, and that's what the speed
wants to do. He wants to break with the way
we've been doing business, and his first action on Israel
(07:06):
actually paying for that aid was one step. This is
the second step. Let's break up this continuing resolution. There
are four bills that we can easily conference on before January.
We should get them out of the way so we
don't have an omnibus at some point.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Where are you with these varying factions, though, I mean
they are a competing political interest within your own conference, there.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Certainly are shown there. Look, there's some of my fellow
colleagues on the Freedom Caucus that I think are going
to oppose the Speaker's plan, but I think it's the
right plan for now. Look, we're not going to win
the victory this week, but we're going to take a
small step toward it. And every time, you know, as
you said, this is an uphill climb, and uphill climbs
are characterized by small steps. This is what he took
(07:50):
a step with the Israel funding. He's going to take
another step now by breaking up these continuing resolutions into
smaller pieces so that we don't get an omnibus bill.
And then finally, the third step to do next year's
appropriations process the way it's supposed to be done, one
bill at a time.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
How do we deal with the rest of the rest
of this fiscal year, which started at October one.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Well, we're going to have to do is We're going
to have to go to conference with the Senate. We're
going to have to I believe, hold to the to
the deal that was made on the Fiscal Responsibility Act,
which set caps. I think we're going to have to
hold to that. And I'm afraid that if we go
to an omnibus bill, we won't. So we've we've got
to go into negotiation with the Senate. The Speaker's plan,
(08:32):
I think makes that much more likely. And that's what
this country needs right now. We need to restore fiscal
sanity by actually stopping doing the way the usual way
we do things in Washington, and that's what this Speaker
is doing.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So let me ask you, how do you get the
more moderate members of Congress to go along with this?
Because I imagine some of them would probably want the omnibus,
some of them, you know, want a clean cr.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Well, I think on our side of the aisle we
probably don't have any of those. And I think that
there are going to be some Democrats who look at
this plan and say, and the way I know that
it's a good plan because the Democrats criticized it a
week ago. They said it was ridiculous, they said it
was bizarre, They said there was no way they were
going to consider it. The Speaker puts it out over
the weekend, and now they're going to set now they said, well, yeah,
(09:18):
we're going to have to consider it. That's right because
politically it avoids a shutdown, but it breaks up the
way business is usually done in Washington. So I think
it's the right plan at the right time, right now,
because we don't have runway to do a whole lot
more this week.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, honestly, I mean you did have a few Democrats
say they don't like the two step approach, but they
would likely support it for the reasons I think you
just stated here, what does this mean for the average America?
Because you know, it's pretty hard to decipher, you know,
all these different rules and procedures you all go through
there in Washington, and people's eyes glaze over when they're
(09:52):
hearing this.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Well, it means that it's much more likely that their
tax dollars are going to be protected because when you
go through the no no process of considering each built,
each bill individually, not an omenobus bill, you're much more
likely to cut out the wasteful spending because it doesn't
get lost in the cracks, it doesn't get lost in
a four thousand page bill, you know. I think that's
the way you start fiscal responsibility. And this is the
(10:16):
right step. I think the Democrats, they're significant number of Democrats,
we are going to join the Republicans in backing this.
We're going to get it over to the Senate tomorrow,
and I think the Senate is just going to have
to say, yeah, we don't have time to do anything else.
This is reasonable. And I think the President, even though
he said he wouldn't sign it last week, I think
he signs it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's going to be interesting to see. We'll find out,
I guess by Friday or Saturday.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Right, Oh, we definitely will find out by Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Oh, well know for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Anyway, if you get any more details, please keep us
in the loop. Kiversman, Andy Harris, and Maryland one of
the twelve big appropriations leaders. Appreciate you being with us, sir.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Thanks Sean eight hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And nine four one sewn on number if you want
to be a part of the program. Dan in Illinois, Dan,
you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Hi, how are you doing this morning this afternoon?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'm good, sir. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Well, I'm just curious. I was watching the Trump's fraud
trial and I was just curious, why wouldn't he call
Letitia James up to the witness stand to find out
why she's picking on him and what her logic was
to bring all these flony fraud charges against him?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, number one, that would never be allowed to happen
with this charge. Listen, you have a judge that's looking
at a property, you know, anywhere from eight hundred million
dollars to over a billion, and he's still sticking with
an eighteen million dollar figure in terms of what he
thinks its valuation is. Now the ironic part of it is.
(11:48):
And by the way, a judge that also said I'm
not here to hear Donald Trump speak. I'm like, you're not, then,
why the hell are you there? Why are we even
having It's not even a trial at this point. I
mean he he ruled in summary judgment against Trump before
this ever even got started. Anyway, you did have by
the way, at least a phonic filing a complaint against
the judge overseeing all of this, and he filed her
(12:11):
complaint against the guy's name is Judge Arthur and Goron
and the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, arguing
and alleging that he's not honoring Donald Trump's right to
do process that's at a fair trial. By the way,
that is that is an understatement. But all of this
is personal here, I mean what they want to do.
(12:33):
Understand this, you want to cancel and by the way,
a campaign promise made by multiple people in New York
from the Age to Das and others, to go after
one man, Trump want one family, the Trump family, want organization,
the Trump organization, And now the New York Attorney General
is seeking to exclude Trump's expert witnesses. I'm like, huh,
(12:55):
we can't hear from them either, you know, the judge,
even though the judge has been hold over and over again.
That is valuation, which is the very it's at the
heart of what they're accusing Trump of. And meanwhile, every
contract Donald Trump has in every loan application he made,
every insurance application that he made, he says, don't use
our numbers. And every company has a produciary responsibility, they've
(13:20):
got to come up with their numbers.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You think you're gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
If you're a lender, you're gonna use the numbers provided
the evaluations provided by the borrower. Ever, no, that's not
how loans are made. Everybody was paid back. You don't
have anybody complaining, either a lender or an insurance company.
So I mean the whole thing has been a fraud.
Then then not only that, he'll never be able to
(13:45):
do business again, his properties will be put in some
type of receivership or conservative conservership, and like Britney spears
for crying out loud, and then of course they can
find him up to two hundred and fifty million dollars
maybe more with this judge, who knows what's gonna happ
I just.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Think it'd be fun to get in upon the witness standarcy,
and if they deny it, it's even be more fun.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, it's it's just not gonna happen. This is this
is not to me.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
This is why I keep saying I don't think Donald
Trump can get a fair trial in New York or
DC or Fulton County, Georgia. And and I think you're
going to see a lot of it here and a
lot of it next year. Let's get to our busy
telephones here. Jay is in New Jersey. What's happened in
Jay and Joysey? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Man?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Yeah, hey, Sawn, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
I just wanted to ask you your opinion on you know,
Tim Scott dropping that last night. You know, I never
liked Tim Scott. I find quite unimpressive. But what I
was impressed by was the fact that he just realized,
you know, time's up, and if he actually cared about
the presidential race uniting behind somebody and.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
He realized that he he better get out now.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
The same is not to be said.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
For Christy or a Vake. I think that if those
guys would get out with.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Nikki Haley, Dendess, Sanders would have a good chance at
at you know, getting Trump to debate him, which.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Would actually be the last way.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
To know if anybody else is viable.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Did you say viable or valuable? I didn't I heard
of both ways. I'm sure you've been viable. Well let
me say this first. I disagree with your comment about
Tim Scott, and I know him personally, so maybe I'm
biased to my views. I'm going to tell you something.
He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met my life.
He really is. He's got the nicest family. I've met
(15:36):
his mom, yes, his girlfriend, I've actually, you know, I
don't know if I should divulge this. I actually did
a Bible study with him and his pastors recently, did
the nicest, most sincere people you ever want to meet
in your life, and I learned a lot from all
of them. And I'm just telling you he's an awesome guy.
(15:56):
And what you see is what you get.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
This is a man that literally, what does he say
from one generation, you know, from picking cotton to you know,
the US Senate, some phrase like that, Linda, can you
check that cotton to Congress?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is what he says.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I mean, his life story is phenomenal. His mom's sweetheart,
his family just all sweethearts. I mean, they're just wonderful people.
And the fact that you know people like him are
in government gives me some hope and confidence that we
can fix things and change things around. He's also a fighter,
and you know, I could tell you the people South
Carolina absolutely love him. Any time I've ever been around him,
(16:36):
they love him.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
An he's a very special guy. I'll tell you that line.
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I would love him too. I don't As a presidential candidate,
I did.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Not feel he was strong enough on the issues.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I could be.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
He calls it an optimist.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
I just call it not aggressive enough.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
All right, So you didn't like his presidential campaign. Maybe
it wasn't his time, as he said, and maybe it's
not other people's time, which you know, time will tell.
I think it's going to be an uphill climb for
anybody to be President Trump right now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But we'll see. Uh, And you.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Know that's that's what this process does it, you know,
kind of you vet people, you weed him out, and
that's kind of way it goes. So over time, we're
going to see. I think, uh, you're probably right in
your observation. I think the polls have confirmed that beyond
President Trump, the next two popular candidates are Governor DeSantis
(17:30):
and Nikki Helly.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, Christy is just staying in there at
one percent just to bash Trump on debate stages.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I won't even I.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Won't waste my time even talking to him, he's will
waste the time. He's being used by the liberal media.
He's all over fake News C and he's all over
ms DNC, and they're using him just to just you know,
bash Trump. Well that that's pretty much their entire lineup.
You know, that's pretty much every contributor they have. He doesn't.
(18:01):
He's just not a serious candidate to me. And he's
and by the way, he's been whining and complaining to
people that don't that that I won't put him on
a show. I'm like, you're wasting my time. I'm not
going to waste my time with you. I'd rather talk
to you. To be very honest, Jay, you're right. Sn
guy left office with a fourteen percent approval ratings. That's
a real that's a real vote of confidence. And how
(18:24):
great a governor he was. Anyway, man, appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let us say hi to Kathy is in the Ocean state,
Rhode Island, Beautiful Rhode Island.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I got a question for you, Kathy. Where in Rhode
Island are you?
Speaker 10 (18:38):
I'm in Cranston right now.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, have you.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Been to Newport and have you been to the Black
Pearl yes, and yes, Okay, how great is that clam chowder?
Speaker 10 (18:49):
I'm not a seafood fan.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Oh, Kathy, you're killing me all right. Have you been
to the Inner Castle Hill? I'm sure you've been there.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Yes, Yes, that's a different story.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's an amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Place, tacular, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But what's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (19:04):
Well, speaking of Rhode Island, I just want to say
that last week you threw out a question about the
next election, and that is, what are the Democrats going
to run on besides abortion? Well, here, I think that
we should have been part of the red wave. We
had a Republican former mayor of Cranston who was very popular,
(19:26):
really ahead in the polls comfortably up until three weeks
before the election when the Democrat candidates started to run
an ad about where the Republicans are going to take
away your social Security and your Medicare.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
And at that.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Point the wind went out of the room. The candidate
who was the Republican who should have won, he was
way way ahead. This commercial over and over kept telling
the audience You're going to lose your social Security and
then Medicare if the Republicans win, and the Democrat won
that race, that should have been a Republican seat for
(20:01):
Congress easily until that started happening. And Ronald McDaniel said
that she's not the Republican R and C shouldn't be
sending the message. Well, the Democrats did because I saw
a commercial from New Hampshire which was the exact same commercial,
only with Maggie Hassen and instead of our candidate, and
(20:22):
it was the same commercial targeting people for Medicare and
social Security. And in my opinion, as much as abortion
as a hot button issue, Medicare and social security is
a hot button issue for a lot of people. And
the Republicans have to start messaging that a what the
problems are with sturity in Medicare and keeping it in
(20:42):
keeping it in good shape, and what they are going
to do about it, and they get a hammer that
message home. The Democrats are doing it. The Republicans need
to do it because it's a large segment of the
voting population and I'm telling you it's changed the course
of at least one congressional seat here.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, I got to tell you something. I know a
lot about Rhode Island. I lived there for five years.
I don't know if you know that. In my past.
It was in the in the mid eighties, so you know,
I know things have changed a little bit, but it's
a pretty liberal state and it's very difficult the fact
that you even had a Republican mayor of Cranston, which
is a nice place. I think every part of Rhode
(21:21):
Island's a nice place. But I lived in Warren, Rhode
Island at the time, and I went to the old
Stone Bank.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Does the old Stone Bank still exist? I don't even know.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
No, No, they were part of the collapse of the FDIC.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Remember Fernand Saint Jermain was in charge of all this
and then he got in a lot of trouble. And
by the way, I became friends with Buddy Cianc. I
know he got in trouble once, but the guy was
a pistol. I know he passed away, but that guy
cracked me up. He used to come on our show.
He had the best stories about his time in prison
that I've ever heard of my life. But it is
a pretty liberal state, honestly, I just I don't see
(21:59):
a lot hope in There are conservatives in the state,
but I don't see a lot of hope for any
races there.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
But you know what, Gina Ramundo, now Commerce Secretary, when
she was governor here, which was just before she was appointed,
she had her legislature codify abortion. So abortion was not
an issue here. There was no threat to abortion here.
That was kind of off the table. The issue became
social security and medicare. And I think women across the
(22:27):
country it'll dawn on them. Abortion is not illegal. It's
not convenient, maybe as it was before, but it's not
that you can't do it if you feel you you know,
however you lean the emotional pointing to the people who
are vulnerable with their social security and medicare is the
same thing as people who feel they're vulnerable by having
(22:50):
no access to abortion. I think no, and I really
think that it made a huge difference here.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I just want people to be realistic, you know, like
I cannot tell you with any So what's going to
happen a year from now in this presidential race. I
don't know. I don't know. I don't know what the
state of the world's going to be. Like the economy,
I mean, every indication is it's getting worse and worse
and worse. There is nothing that I can point to
that I could say that Joe Biden's been successful on
(23:17):
but yet you know, Donald Trump has got four criminal
trials possibly scheduled the next year, three in venues that
I'm not confident at all you can even get a
fair trial.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
So anyway, I think that's why he has so much sympathy.
Quite honestly, everyone realizes it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You have to try the you have to try the
black pearl, Try that clam chowder.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It doesn't taste late fishy. I'm telling you it's great.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
Okay, Federal Hill, Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Right, God bless you, thank you, all right.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
The final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
You do not want to miss it and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for All on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Right back to our busy phones. Frank in Texas. What's up, Frank,
the free state of Texas. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Man?
Speaker 5 (25:53):
I just call him, Sean to honor Veterans Day in
all of our veterans and pay it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
People of our military today, these people.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Of special people. You know, my father would never talk
to me. I never understood it.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Sean, and what grandfathers had fought in the Civil War.
And believe this or not, one was a Southerner and
he sided with Abraham Lincoln and he got captured during
the war and went to Andersonville Prison. Could you believe
that one Derman wouldn't have taken at the time, He
probably wouldn't even have made it out of there alive.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I mean the risk.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
When you think of a thing about this, imagine you're,
you know, a nineteen year old kid slamming the beaches
in Normandy, and.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
At the very end of it, he went to the
Battle of the Balls and all the big battles Sean,
and at the end he was in Germany. He was
one of the first ones to open the gate up
at Bougen Vault Prison and you'll imagine what he saw.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I could just imagine, thank you, by the way for
the call. I could just imagine, you know, being a
nineteen year old kid and you arrive at on the
beaches of Normandy and you know, you're not in the
ocean anymore. It's just red water, red salt water from
all the blood from all the people slaughtered as they
(27:12):
slammed those beaches. And you know, I just can't imagine
what one would think or live with. Maybe maybe that's
why my father never wanted to talk about his experience
in World War Two. He fought four years in the Pacific,
lost a number of his friends during that war, and
just unbelievable. At one point, my dad did tell me
(27:33):
one story that he had to go do something I
don't remember what, and that when he came back, one
of the guys that he had left in the same
area that he was at was dead. I remember him
telling me that story, but he didn't want to talk
about it ever. These people are amazing, you know, we
take it for granted. We live in freedom and liberty,
(27:56):
so I'm so worried about you know, this new access
of evil. We are Prime Minister net In Yahu on
tonight on Hannity, and we're going to talk to him
at length about the varying enemies that surround and want
to destroy Israel. They want to destroy the country anyway.
Eight hundred and nine point one Sean our number, Gregg
in California.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's up, Greg.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I hope you're looking forward to your governor debating Governor DeSantis.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's November thirtieth. I your host, will be the moderator.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
That's going to be awesome.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
I can't wait to watch that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's gonna be pretty, that's gonna be musty TV. I
hope for people.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
The reason I was calling is everybody talks about, you know,
numbers of migrants coming through Texas, probably because it's a
red state. But I'm curious out in California, nobody talks
about migrants coming through our California southern border, and just
with the policies that we have, I'm curious if you
have any numbers as to you know, if it's just
(28:53):
open door, if it's in a question.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I gave out numbers at the beginning of the show today,
I'll give it to you again.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
If you want.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
You know, if you look at the first batch of
illegal immigrants, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Put it to you this way.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
If you look at FAIR, which is the Federation of
American Immigration Reform, they estimate that for twenty twenty three alone,
the illegal immigrant crisis will cost you, the American taxpayers,
over one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Okay not does
that not put four undred and fifty one billion if
(29:30):
you look at it over time. That's what their estimates are.
I mean, you've got all of these you know, we're
now up to about eight million illegal immigrants if you
count the godaways, that's a lot of people. And then
we have to provide food and shelter and healthcare and
you know education. It's it's we can't afford it. We
(29:52):
just can't afford it. And it's killing the American people.
And by the way, in New York now they're thinking
about having an illegal immigration the immigrant tax.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You just can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anyway, Appreciate the call, my friend, eight hundred and ninety
four one Sean if you want to be a part
of the program.
