Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of
you for being one of us. Hour two Sean Hannity's Show,
eight hundred and nine four one Sean, you want to
be a part of the program. It's always an honor, privilege,
and pleasure to welcome back to the program. Ohio Congressman
Jim Jordan, the chairman of the all important House Judiciary Committee,
How are you, sir? How fine? Sean? Good to do

(00:22):
with you? Before we get to the important investigations that
you're you're leading up and they are important. Um, what
is your reaction to what's happening with these banks and
this proposed bailout of Biden? It sounds like he doesn't
want to even ask Congress for the money. What's your take? Well,
we we send me bailing people out who are above

(00:44):
the FDIC, you know, guarantee what the rules are now
for two thousand for FDIC insured. And I think second,
this is driven by the Biden inflation. I mean this
record inflation. My understanding is, and I don't tend to
be an expert in finance here, but my understanding is
that they had a number of treasuries. People started to
the treasuries at a low, low, low interest rate yield,

(01:06):
and um, the you know, people came to there were
people wanting to get their money out of the banks.
They come to take their deposits out, and so they
had to catch in a number of these treasuries at
a loss because of interest rates are now still much
tiger than they were, and they purchased them. They didn't
have the money to cover everything until it's sort of
like a run on the bank driven by the interest
rate inflation that that caused this situation. And of course,

(01:29):
as we all know that the federal government came in
and and they're in receivership what as a Friday afternoon.
So the people who have something two hundred fifty or left,
they should get covered, of course, because that's the rule.
But you start covering other folks above that, I think
that's that's that's scary to go down that road, which
sounds like where were you? Absolutely now that certainly Biden's

(01:50):
economic and his energy policies caused this rapid increase in inflation,
which resulted in the FED raising interest rates somewhat seventh
teen hundred percent in a very short period of time,
in about a year, and you're right. This bank had
invested very heavily in ten year treasuries and mortgage backed
securities and they had to sell them at a at

(02:14):
a significant loss of money. Now, there were people like
you know at JP Morgan and other financial institutions that
saw this coming because they were reading the bottom line.
They understood that they had made a terrible investment here,
uh and that this this was gonna you know, their
chickens were going to come home to roost. What concerns

(02:36):
me more than that is, like the business uh insiders headline,
Silicon Valley bank implosion in a single day could be
just the tip of the iceberg. And the Fed's prolonged
period of low interest rates created many financial dislocations that
are now beginning to start flaring up. What we have
two other banks now that are in trouble as well.

(02:56):
Uh So I've got to imagine that there's got to
be grave concern and Washington. And the question I have
is does Joe Biden have the ability unilaterally to make
that decision and spend money Because I always thought any
money that is spent has to go through and get
the approval of the legislative branch outs Congress. Well, it
sure does. And I was here my very first term
in Congress is back when we had the last banking

(03:18):
cris the mortgage backed securities back in two thousand and seven,
eight long and through there, and I didn't support that
bank bail out, the you know, the TARP program. I
thought that was a mistake and certainly that but that
at least went through Congress. It had to get approval
from Congress. I remember Hank Paulson coming and talking to
Congress all the time. So, yeah, the way our constitutional

(03:39):
system works is you got to the House in particular
has to start these spending measures. That's where the founders
wanted it because it was designed to protect we the people,
we the taxpayers across this great country. So yeah, he
can't do that. But this administration doesn't seem to care
a whole lot about the constitution. Frankly, we saw that.
We've seen that in the number of ways over the
last last several months, and of course we saw in
the big way last week in of hearing. We had

(04:01):
so watching the new Republican majority move at record speed
in terms of investigations that will long overdue the origins
of COVID nineteen. The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Certainly, James
Cohmer's looking into the Biden family syndicate and their financial
dealings with some of our biggest geopolitical foes. You inside

(04:25):
the Judiciary have a number of investigations you're involved in,
including whether the FBI has been politicized and the dj weaponized.
I've interviewed FBI agents that are whistleblowers, and my understanding
is is a lot more to come. What are the
status of your investigations? Well, yeah, I thought we had
a great hearing last week in the Select Committee part

(04:46):
of the Judiciary where we had in two of the
journalists who had written about the Twitter files. And I
mean to step back and think about this for a second.
Sean last week, in a forty eight hour time period,
we had tux humor on the Senate floor, toughness and
say this and then also send a letter to Rupert
Murdoch saying foxtion or any of the footage from January stick.

(05:07):
The very next day, our committee releases a Republicans release
a report from the Judiciary Committee that says the FTC
was going after a private company, asking private company Twitter,
who were the journalists they had contact with in that correspondence,
In that communication from the FTEC to Twitter, they listed
four journals. Personally, two of them testified the very next

(05:28):
day in our committee last week, and in that committee hearing,
Democrats asked them who their sources were. All that happened
in a forty eight hour time series. By the way,
I have two questions regarding this. Number One, does zelam
must not have a right to privacy? A? And B.
Matt Taiebee, who is no fan of mine, even wrote
a book, you know, crushing me. You know, he was

(05:51):
being hammered left and right. Yeah, two Democrats, Matt Tybee
and Michael Sellenberger, but two Democrats who actually value the
First Amendment and of now Steve firsthand personally what the
left really wants to do, which is forget the First
Amendment and simply go after their political enemies. I mean,
this is frightening stuff. All that happened in a forty
eight hour time frame, and simply because these reporters working

(06:14):
with Twitter to expose the FBI and other federal agencies
pressuring big tech to limit the information that American people
got to see, and maybe most importantly, the information they
got to see in the run up to the twenty
twenty presidential rate. So here's what I'd like an answer to.
So we know that the FBI had a copy of
Hunter Biden's laptop in December twenty nineteen, certainly plenty of

(06:37):
time to corroborate whether it was genuine, whether it was
his or not his. But the FBI also was aware
that Rudy Giuliani, the President's attorney at the time, also
had a copy. So I would assume they knew at
some point that this was likely going to be released publicly,
or at least parts of it. And so we have

(06:57):
the FBI set up, you know, a group of agents,
and their job is to warn people at these big
tech companies about the possibility of them being victimized by
foreign agents, foreign governments, of disinformation campaigns and the lead
up to the twenty twenty election. Now, if you go
to the case you brought this up, and I played

(07:18):
it on radio NTV, you brought up the point that
in Missouri, the Twitter site integrity chief Yoel Roth admitted
in fact that they were told specifically that some of
the disinformation might involve Joe Biden, it might involve Hunter Biden,
isn't that true? Yeah, yol Roth and his foreign declaration says,

(07:41):
I met weekly with these folks from from the federal government,
these different agents, the DHS, FBI, different ages. We met weekly.
They told me for a year in those weekly meetings
that there was likely to be a a hackadop operation.
It was likely to come beat in October, and see
it was likely to involve Hunter Biden. And I'm like, now,
how did they know? I meancause they got the time,
that the method and the and the person. They got

(08:02):
them all right. Now, maybe they get the time right because,
as I said in committee last week, every four years
we expect some October surprise. But they had the method
and the person. They knew it was going to be
a hacking dump, it was going to happen in October
twenty twenty. It was gonna involve Hunter Biden. How were
they clairvoyant? I mean, how did they know? Well? The
reason they know is what you just pointed out, Sean,
is because they had the laptop, which they knew was authentic,

(08:24):
and so they know it's out there and it's likely
at some point that's gonna get public. So they could
set this all up to make sure, it got depressed,
it got it got the circulation was pushed back on
and it didn't get out there. And then big media
followed what happened with big tech, and big media didn't
cover the story. And we know, we know, just as

(08:44):
sure as we're talking, that had an impact on the
twenty twenty presidential rate. Now they've had the laptop from
of Hunter for nearly three and a half years, and
there's been no action taken. Can you explain that to me?
I can. I cannot. No action from you see nothing
from dj FBI. You see, frankly nothing from Treasury because
you know, as you pointed out, Chairman Comer is trying

(09:06):
to get a hold of the suspicious activity reports, which
he believes they're around one hundred and fifty of those
about the banking transactions that were going on with the
Biden family business operation. So I do not know. Again,
I think in some ways it just underscores what we've
talked about for so many years now, this double standard.

(09:27):
You know, we saw it was the classified documents where
ninety one days before the election, the midterm election, they
raided President Trump's home and then they have the same
situation with Joe Biden before the election. We don't hear
anything about it until after the election. And yet they
knew they did it all before. They knew all about
it before the election, which would have been fair yea.
And the person apparently heading up the FBI effort to

(09:49):
be in touch with big tech companies, did that person
write and a thesis that argued that Donald Trump colluded
with Russia to win the twenty sixteen election. The guy
that was in charge of this whole operation, Elvis stan Is,
his graduate degree thesises on this very subject matter. Of
course he was he was interviewed in the case of

(10:10):
Missouri versus Biden, where now Senator then Attorney General Eric
schmidt Um was that case along with our former colleague
Jef Landry, attorney general from the state of Louisiana. And
you go through that deposition, you learn you learned the pressure.
Now they always say the FBI says, well, we didn't
We didn't tell Twitter they had to do this, and
these other social media companies they had to take things down.

(10:31):
We just told them what was going on, and ultimately
it was their decision. But that is bs the idea
that they're meeting with them weekly. We have emails where
they said, we think these these accounts, these tweets to
violate your terms of service. I mean, those are the
kind of things they were sending to these big tech
and the idea that they had to make, that that
they got to make the final decision just doesn't square
with what the pressure and the frequency with which they

(10:53):
were meeting and asking big tech to do things. So
let me ask this. We saw what happened in twenty
twenty with Hillary Clinton, prosecutor or prosecute and deleted emails.
Nothing happens to Hillary Clinton. We have the laptop from Hell,
they've had it for three and a half years. And
yet I read almost on a daily basis that it
is imminent that Donald Trump will be indicted in New York,

(11:17):
likely in Georgia, and maybe somewhere else on some other
issue involving I guess the special prosecutor. My question is,
is you believe that's the reality? Is that where we're
now headed in an area we've never been to before,
Were they gonna indict a former president and a presidential candidate? Boy?

(11:38):
I hope not, you know, but I say this, I
never thought we'd see him raid the president's home like
they did, and you know, back ninety one days before
the midterm elections, back in August of last year. So
it's it's unbelievable what President Trump and his family have
had to endure, this non stop just attack on them

(11:58):
from from clear back in twenty six team when you
know when he's first running. So um, you know it's
all the way through Muller and everything else. The impeachment.
It peaks on the on the crazy phone call, which
is ridiculous. Um. But this is today's left. And if
you have a left that thinks that you shouldn't follow
the First Amendment, that it's okay for Democrat members of
Congress to go up to to to ask two members

(12:20):
of in the journalism world to accomplish members frankly award
winning journalists, to pressure them while they're under oath to
give away their sources. I mean, I guess I don't
know what what what we shouldn't be, UM, you know,
surprised at now from what we see from these folks.
So let's hope not um. But this is today's world.

(12:41):
It's why it seems like a fate to complete to me.
Do you read it the same way? I hope not. Um,
but it looks like that that may be the case,
particularly New York. Is I saw some things last week
with the with the grand jury all with that that
state case in New York. Maybe that's going to happen there.
But again, um, let's hope not. I don't even know
what the charges who would be about. It has to

(13:02):
do with I guess a non disclosure agreement payment to
Stormy Daniels. I think that's the case. Yeah. Do you
think that this is on purpose to prevent Donald Trump
or maybe to force him out of the race. Oh,
I think he's running. I don't. I don't think it matters.
What I mean, it matters, but I don't think it

(13:22):
matters in the context of whether he decides to run
or not. He's running, he said he's running, and if
and if there's some kind of crazy indictment that happens,
I think he's still running. And I think the American
people understand what's going on here, and they appreciate what
he was able to do while president. As you and
I talked about many time, Sean, I think he accomplished
more what he said he was going to get done
than any president, certainly in our lifetimes, but that maybe

(13:45):
ever and that's what so many people appreciate. I I
was in West Virginia other night talking and talking about
President Trump and people all cross this great country get
what he did for our country. And how you know
the line I like so much because it's so true.
It is he says, they come after me talking President
Trump's at the Rallizy. They come after me because I'm
fighting for you. And the country understands that and appreciates

(14:07):
that that attitude that we had with that we have
with President Trump. Scary times if we politicize our justice
system and weaponize it and we have two standards of
justice in this country, pretty scary. And I know your
committee will get to the bottom of it in spite
of opposition and little cooperation. Jim Jordan of Ohio, we

(14:30):
always appreciate you being with us. Thank you, sir, you too,
so take your brother all right as we roll along,
eight hundred and nine one sean our number. We'll get
to your calls at the after the news at the
bottom of the hour. You know, add to this, you
know these issues involving these banks and this promise now
to pay it all back, which even the FDIC doesn't

(14:54):
even have They have less about half of the money
to pay back. And then Joe Biden declaring the taxpayers
won't be on the hook for a single penny. Oh great,
And then on top of that, the seven trillion dollars budget,
the five percent increase in income taxes, the taxes now
he proposed for small business, you know, nearly doubling capital

(15:17):
gains tax dramatic increase in corporate taxes, taxes on unrealized
capital gains. I mean, this is a prescription. We're an
economic disaster, straight ahead, holding them accountable. Sean gets the

(15:41):
answers no one else does. America deserves and know the
truth about Congress. All right, twenty five now until the
top of the hour. Thanks for being with us. Eight
hundred and nine four one, Sean our number if you
want to be a part of the program. We'll get
to your calls coming up momentarily here. But these really
are tough economic times. This banking collapse is far deeper

(16:08):
than the average person is telling you, and it should
concern everybody on so many levels. And in spite of oh,
blame Trump, Blame Trump, Blame Trump, It's it's not blame Trump.
Had they had they wanted to change the system, they
had every opportunity too, and Barney Franks sits on the

(16:29):
board of the bank and lobbied to get the exact
change that they're blaming Trump for. You can't make that up.
One way too, absolutely save money. Those from our friends
of Pure Talk. You get the same cell service as
Verizon AT and T and T Mobile. You get the
same exact cell towers, the same exact five G network.
Average family saving close to a thousand dollars a year

(16:50):
for the exact same service, and that's a lot of
money in these tough economic times. You get blazing fast data,
unlimited talk contexts for just thirty bucks a month. That's
real money in your pocket. And Pure Talk is so
certain that you're gonna love this service they back it
up with their one hundred percent money back garrantee. There's
no contract to sign, so instead of giving your money

(17:13):
away for the exact same service, this is one way
you can save real money and it only takes a
couple of minutes of your time to do so. There's
dial pound two fifty save the keyword save now, and
you'll save it. An additional fifty percent off your first month.
That's pound two fifty keywords save now money in your
pocket for the exact same service, Pure Talk, simply smarter wireless.

(17:37):
All right, let's get to our phones. Drew is in Ohio. Drew,
how are you glad you called? Sir? What's on your
mind today? Hey, Sean, good afternoon. Hey. I just want
to give you a quick shout. You're a great American.
Thank you for all that you do, and may the
Lord continue to bless you and your show. I thank you,
look real quick shout out to Jim Jordan, I mean
from Ohio. I think he's doing a great job. All

(18:00):
the stuff that he's doing with the weaponizing the federal government.
He's telling a great story for America to wake up.
And everything he said about the hacking League and everything
he's doing, he's just he's just opening up our eyes
and he's just doing a great job. And he's making
the Democrats like missus Plaskett and miss Garcia I believe

(18:23):
her name, and Jerry Conley, they're just making him look
angry and bitter. I think he's been doing a phenomenal job.
He's been with us every step of the way. He
comes on radio as we just had and TV. As
often as we ask him, he's just he's just laying
it all out there. Now tonight we have Joe Tacopina
on the program. He's the President's attorney, and you know, shockingly,

(18:47):
it looks like it's very real that there will be
indictments and an indictment handed down to Donald Trump on
what would always be a simple misdemeanor case. Now that's
not politicizing. Just in America, I don't know what is
going after one man, one company, one family, and campaigning
on it as has happened in New York with people

(19:10):
that have enormous amounts of powers is very chilling to me.
I would not be surprised if if Fulton County had
the same results as well. God forbid of your last
name's Trump or if you like Trump, you're in trouble. Scary, Yeah, Sean,
did he say that that the FBI pay Twitter three
point four million dollars? Three point five I believe is

(19:32):
the number. We don't know if other big tech companies
were paid. The timeline is very revealing. The FBI had
Hunters laptop in December twenty nineteen. They were very aware
that the president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani had a copy. They
were very aware that it was likely going to leak
before the twenty twenty election. This task force set up

(19:55):
by the FBI to have weekly conversations with big Tech
warning them about them possibly being victims of disinformation. That
that really did take place. And specifically when you look
at the Missouri case when Eric Schmidt was the the
AG in Missouri and he's now a Senator from Missouri.

(20:15):
In that case, it's very revealing because even the Twitter
site integrity head, a guy by the name of Joel Roth, said, Yeah,
they specifically mentioned these disinformation campaigns maybe about Joe Biden
or Hunter and Biden. Well, that sounds like they were
priming big tech what they knew would likely come out,

(20:35):
and that is Hunter's laptop and that led to the
censorship campaign in the weeks leading up to the presidential election. Now,
if that's not putting your finger on the scale of
an election, I don't know what is. And where does
that three point four million come from? Nope, from you,
the taxpayers. They don't they don't make money out of

(20:56):
thin air. I mean, I was laughable today to hear
that this is not gonna. Uh, the taxpayers are not
going to be bailing out the bank, but we're bailing
out the bank. Oh, you guys gonna all reach into
your own pocket and pay the billions of dollars to
bail out these banks. Are you kidding? We're paying for
that getting old? It's getting old. It's it's getting Listen

(21:18):
on China, Russia or Ran you know it's Umm, I'm
getting very worried. On the economy, I'm getting very worried.
And if we don't we don't change the course we're on,
the predictable result is right there in front of us.
You don't have to You don't have to be a

(21:38):
political scientist or an economic an economist or a farm
policy leader to figure it out. All right, my friend,
God bless you if you do have a good man
in Jim Jordan that we agree on for sure? Uh,
Thomas and New York Thomas, how are you glad you
called sir? Hey hey, Sean. A couple of points. First,
on Joe Biden proposing to raise taxes on the ridge.

(22:00):
You never see Democrats raise taxes when they control the House,
the Senates, or the presidency. It's only when they control
two thirds of the government. Here are two examples. Go
back to two thousand and eight. Obama on the campaign
promised to raise taxes on the rich. When he gets elected.
He as the House, the Senate doesn't raise taxes, actually

(22:21):
extends the Bush tax cuts. President President Biden for two
years had controlled the House. The Senate doesn't propose to
raise taxes only when the Republicans take over. The Republicans
need to stop saying, hey, this is going to hurt
the contrary. It's going to hurt a middle America. You know,
the rich pay more than the people that don't pay more.
What they need to do is they need to say

(22:42):
that the Democrats, Okay, why is it when you guys
are control, you don't raise taxes. The Democrats don't want
to raise taxes. They want to use it as a
talking point during the election that the Republicans are for
the rich because when they're in control, they never raise taxes,
and the Republicans fall for it. They need to call
them out on it. I don't see this Republican House
falling for it. I don't see it at all. That

(23:04):
is dead on arrival. These massive tax increases and this
insane six point nine trillion dollar budget. I think it's
dead on arrival. It's not going to happen. But Sean,
but my point is, when the Democrats are in control
of the House, the Senate, and the presidency, they never
proposed to race tax. That's not true, because they did
in the last Congress, and that's where the taxes went

(23:25):
up on on oil, gas, coal, pensions, and corporations. So
they successfully. But not on individuals, not on the not
on their rich friends, not on the individuals, not not
on the millionaires and billionaires. They're talking about taxing on
individual million people. Well, I hate to tell you, but
you only have fifty percent of the country that even

(23:47):
pays income tax. The other fifty percent pays next to nothing.
And if you look at the top one percent, they
pay over seventy percent of the bill, the top ten
percent over ninety percent. Anyway, appreciate the call. Eight hundred
and nine four one, Sean our number if you want
to be a part of the program. Randy in Arkansas,
you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you called. Hey, Sean,
great to have a chance to talk to you from

(24:09):
the free state of Arkansas. Thank you, my friend. What's
going on. I just got a quick question for you.
I want to know who was the judge's name or
were there more than one judge for the FISI Court. Yes,
the answer is the FISI Court judges are picked directly

(24:29):
by the Chief Justice in this case, John Roberts, and
there is a term in which they served in that
capacity and then they move on to other judges. How
many was there more than one with the four I
believe there actually was? Yes, Well, the reason being is
the guy's got the people that presented this. We're basically

(24:52):
getting away with stealing ying to a judge. Yeah, you know,
but the judge has got the ability to pull their
butts back out on the carpet and say, hey, you
lied to me. You know that he's the one person
that kid hold these people accountable if it look listen

(25:14):
that actually part of the law even goes further than that.
If remember the top of a FISA application says verified.
And if you if you find out later, remember like
people like come and Rod Rosenstein and all these people
that signed these FISA applications, you know, were asked by
Lindsey Graham, all of them knowing what you know, now,

(25:36):
would you sign that FISA application. They all said no,
but if you discover part of what you used as
information or evidence it turns out not to be true,
you have an obligation to immediately inform the fiz Accord.
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was the one that said
without the dirty Russian disinformation dossier paid for by Hillary,

(26:00):
they never would have had those FISA applications approved. But
remember in early October they offered Christopher Stile a million
dollars if he could verify his own dossier. He never
collected because he could couldn't verify it. By the end
of October, they used it as the bulk of information
to get the FISA warrant approved. So they knew that.

(26:20):
That to me shows intend that they knew damn well
that what they were presenting was not true or not
very certainly not verified. Now we know it's unverifiable, right,
That's that's correct. But I've done it kind of a
little search. But you gotta understand the Democrats and they
have nothing to worry about. Well, I want to know

(26:41):
who the judge was, and if you do a search there,
I don't think this is common knowledge. Who who was
presiding over this FISA chord at some point I remember
looking and talking about it. I just don't remember the
specifics of it. I mean, we got really deep into
the weeds in this, and certainly that was one thing.

(27:02):
Those judges that were lied to had every ability to
bring them back in court and challenge them right by
the way, you see. But if it's you or me,
or Donald Trump or somebody with the last name Trump,
they would have gotten called back in right right. Hey, well, Sean,

(27:23):
come to Arkansas. I'll take your fishing and we'll forget
about all this politics stuff. Yeah, listen, there's plenty of
days I wish I was an Arkansas fishing with you,
my friend. Thank you, all right, quick break right back
for our phones eight hundred and nine for one, Sean
our number if you want to be a part of
the program. Steve Moore, our economic guru at the top
of the hour. As we continue three hours a day.

(27:50):
It is all we ask on the Sean Hannity Show,
So please join us, but just don't be late. Sean
Hannity is law. All right, as we continue, let's get
right back to our busy phones. Denny is in Iowa. Denny,
how are you? Thanks? For taking listen to you for
about twenty years and I record you every night, so

(28:11):
I appreciate what you do. You're a real vo our country.
I appreciate your vote of confidence. I can't do it
without you, and I never forget that. Thank you, sir.
I'd like to talk about the unrealized tacks that they're
that they've brought up again and I unrealized capital gains
tax yes, yes, And Steve Moore is a real expert

(28:32):
on this, so I wish you would verify it with him.
They talked about in the last couple of days how
that's going to affect the stock market and buying stocks
and whatnot. You know, we've heard the phrase by twenty thirty,
you will own nothing and you will like that, and
I always wonder how are they going to do that,
and if they apply this to personal property, this is

(28:54):
how they're going to do it, and it's going to
affect Democrats, Republicans, everybody in the country. Thanks. Steve was
on last week. He's going to be on at the
top of the hour more about the banking issue. And
just so people understand, an unrealized capital gain is an investment.
Let's say you have a thousand shares of McDonald's stock,

(29:15):
and it's worth one hundred thousand dollars and you bought
it at eight hundred thousand dollars, right, I'm sorry, eighty
thousand dollars. So the government would tax you on what
the value is at the end of the tax year,
and that would show two hundred thousand dollars net increase
in your wealth. Again the capital gains. This is money

(29:36):
you've already paid taxes on. So but maybe by the
time you sell it it's only worth fifty thousand dollars.
Do you get your taxes back that you paid? And
why does the government get to keep it that long?
This is insanity? Yeah, well, let me apply this to
our personal property. Let's say I have a house that's
worth three hundred thousand dollars, which is probably below the

(29:58):
national average, and inflation kicks in and all of a sudden,
in one year, my house is worth ten percent more.
I have to pay personal property taxes or I have
to pay taxes on thirty thousand dollars because my house
increased by thirty thousand. That would be your math would
be dead on, correct sir? So how many people you

(30:21):
said a little while ago that two thirds of the
people are living paycheck to paycheck. Probably half of those
people own homes of some kind or another. How are
we going to kick in another six hundred dollars a
month to pay that tax? And I'm just I am
guessing for practicality purposes, they'll probably have to remove, you know,

(30:43):
prime residences from that requirement. But if you owned a
second home, it probably would kick in there. Well, I
hope so. And that's what you need to verify and
to carry this further. If it does apply to everything,
thank you. Well, remember there's no bill to read yet,
so I can't I can't give you an answer. I
don't know for sure. Let's say we have a career
farmer that's owns two thousand acres, which in the bread

(31:07):
basket of America is reasonable. They may be second generation
and this land is worth ten thousand dollars an acre,
and this this increases by an inflationary ten percent, and
it's their primary residents. They would have to be an
exemption for farmers or ranchers. Oh, we won't have any
farmers or ranchers. It's gonna be like Yellowstone the series.

(31:30):
They want to come in and take it come hell
or high water. I don't want to cut you short.
But you're making great points, Denny, and you're thinking, you know,
you're thinking the right way. You're understanding the massive impact
this is going to have on our economy. And it's scary,
It just downright scary. We have Steve Wore at the
top of the hour. We'll talk to him about this. Obviously,

(31:50):
the banking you know, collapse, and so much more coming up.
But you raise good points. Thank you. Hey, listen to
number one killer among infants is still abortion. If you
if you believe in the sanctity of life, if your
pro life, you're gonna love this group Preborn Now. They
have a website preborn dot com slash sean that's their website.

(32:13):
And what they do is they don't get any government
money like Planned Parenthood, but they're using the science of ultrasound,
especially new technology ultrasound, and they give free ultrasounds to
expecting moms and they find that people that might be
leaning towards abortions when they when they see what's growing
inside them and they see fingers and toes and facial

(32:34):
features and hear a heartbeat, that the odds are much
much higher that they're gonna bring that baby to term. Anyway, Um,
once people hear that heartbeat and see those fingers and toes,
I'm telling you, it's amazing. And their goal, by the way,
it's to stop the nearly one million abortions every year

(32:55):
in this country alone and use the science of ultrasound
to save these lives. Anyway, if you'd like to donate
to this great cause, it's only possible because of your generosity.
Just dial pound two fifty, say the keyword baby, pound
two fifty, keyword baby, or on their website preborn dot
com slash sean and you are going a long way

(33:16):
of standing by your belief in the sanctity of life.
