Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload. Our toll free
our number is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh Man, so much to get to I gotta tell
you something. Anyway, let me go to a big victory
that took place this week, Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri,
former ag of Missouri. It had a massive win a
(00:28):
lawsuit that he started as attorney general. As it results
with Biden and his administration colluding with social media giants.
And anyway, I got to tell you something. The administration
now has cleared the wave on a whole variety of issues.
But this this for Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upholding
(00:48):
this District court ruling in Missouri of Missouri versus Biden
and joining the Biden administration from colluding with social media
companies to censor speech. We can't even begin to calculate
the impact that the issue of censorship and big tech
and had on the twenty twenty election presidential election.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You can't calculate this.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The laptop of Hunter Biden was very real, and yet
we've learned that even though the FBI had that laptop
in December of twenty nineteen, even though we know they've
verified its authenticity. In March of twenty twenty, they had
FBI agents meeting weekly with big tech companies why for
(01:32):
the purpose of warning them that they may be victims
of a misinformation campaign regarding our presidential elections, specifically warning
them that the misinformation may be about Joe and Hunter Biden.
The head of Cite Integrity at the time, Yole Wroth
for Twitter now X, but Twitter at the time had
actually testified that yeah, they specifically warned that it may
(01:55):
be about Hunter Biden, and sure enough, when the when,
and they were meeting with these big tech companies, and
even Facebook and Twitter at the time, not exit the time,
Twitter asked specific questions of the FBI, is the laptop real?
And the FBI knew it was real, they wouldn't give
(02:16):
them the confirmation that they should have been willing to
give them, especially in light of what they had been
warning them against. Because the net result was that no
big tech company even allowed anyone to share the Hunter
Biden laptop store. You couldn't even send it in a
private message to a friend for crying out loud. That's
(02:37):
how bad it got. Anyway, let me play for you.
Christopherray testifying to the issue, the FBI doesn't ask social
media to censor or suppressed stories. I don't believe this
statement is true. Well ask Eric Smidt on the other side.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
The idea that you take information and you have it
taken down, use your authority and the levery you have
to have meta Google Facebook or Facebook being meta or
Twitter take down people's information on things like where COVID
(03:12):
came from? Where do you find the national security interest
in that? Where do you find the interest in free
speech of American citizens being taken down? And I repeat,
free speech of American citizens? Where do you have that authority?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So we don't ask social media companies to censor information
or suppress information when it comes to national security threats, certainly,
So what we do do is alert them when some
other intelligence agency gives us information about a foreign intelligence
service being behind some account, we will call social media
(03:50):
companies attention to that. But at the end of the day,
we're very clear that it's up to the social media
companies decide whether to do something.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Of a suggestion of the most powerful law enform operation
is not a suggestion. It is in fact effectively in order.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
All right, joining us now is senator then Attorney general.
He got this case started back when he was the
Attorney general.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Congratulations. This is a big win with the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals upholding the Missouri versus Biden case and
in joining in this particular case, the Biden administration from
colluding with social media moving forward. Do you believe this
had a big impact on the twenty twenty presidential race?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Absolutely, Sean. And it's as you said, it's hard to
really calculate, but this censorship enterprise that was put in
place was vast and scarier than anybody could have ever imagined.
When we filed the lawsuit over a year ago, we
had our suspicions. I mean, Chinsaki was at the podium
warning social media company. So it turns out they were
threatening legal action, and it spanned from the twenty twenty
(04:56):
election to the vaccine issue, to map to the origin
of COVID. I mean, they were suppressing and censoring millions
of posts, millions of posts, and the discovery that came
out so far is very revealing. Direct communications, a special
portal that was put in place. I mean, this is
Orwellian kind of stuff. And that's not even my words.
(05:19):
That's from the District Court judge that ruled in our favor,
and then ultimately that was affirmed by the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals. Now, this case, I think Sean is
destined for the Supreme Court. It should be. It's the
most important free speech case I think in the history
of the country, because we're no longer talking about just
sort of the town square. This is the virtual town
square in the First Amendment is critical, it's so important
(05:40):
for our republic. It's a pressure release file. It's the
beating heart of the constitution. People have a right to
say their peace, and it's so called experts and these
folks who are claiming everything they don't agree with, this
disinformation needs to be censored, are on the wrong side
of history. So this win is a big win for
the First Amendment and the American people.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think think this is the most important issue right now,
basing the country in terms of future elections. Now, can
you explain to me why the FBI that had Hunter
Biden's laptop authenticated the laptop, why they were meeting with
big tech companies and it was your case that actually
got the information that I think is most pertinent, and
(06:22):
that the FBI, in these weekly meetings was telling Twitter
in this specific case that in fact, the misinformation campaign
may be about Hunter Biden. And then the Hunter Biden
laptop is made big news in the New York Post,
then Big Tech having been worn weekly by the FBI
representatives that this may be a misinformation campaign, they wouldn't
(06:47):
allow anyone to share that information, pertinent information that I
think the American voter needed to know about, and they
would not confirm even when specifically asked that they knew.
In fact, it was all why is that?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I mean, I think that this is one of the
scariest revelations of the case is that essentially had the
FBI having weekly censorship meetings, So the full power of
the federal government law enforcement right along with the biggest
country companies in the history of the world. I mean,
these are some amost. You combine those two against the
American people and the free flow of information in an
(07:24):
important election, it's scary stuff. And so, yeah, they were
having weekly meetings, they were warning them of a Russian
hacken lead operation. They knew the laptop was real. The
old Ross, in a sworn aff to David said that
they specifically mentioned the hunter Biden laptop, and so they're
setting the stage to spoil that, so they could, you know,
you know, essentially censor the story. Miranda Devine has said
(07:47):
that her emails were being monitored, so they knew exactly
when the story was going to break. And then of
course you've got this sort of establishment intelligence community and
then signs a letter saying this is false and nothing
to see here. You couldn't find the story online. It
was being suppressed on platforms. I mean again, people have
(08:09):
the right to learn about this information and make their
own decisions. Sean, That's really what this comes down to.
Conservatives should be are the champions of free speech. Individuals
can make these decisions well, who they vote for, whether
they wear a mask, whether they get the vaccine, whatever.
The government doesn't have any business in telling you what
the truth is. And I think it's a very dangerous
(08:29):
road to go down. And this case is exposed it
there's an injunction for a number of White House officials.
I mean, this goes all the way to the top,
so that this never happens again. I just think it's
so critical, not just for elections, but just for people
feeling like they can air their opinion. And if people
don't feel like they can do that, that leads to
a lot of frustration that you feel it's out there.
(08:51):
And so again one of the reasons why I think
the case is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Let me ask you, why do you believe this is
going to the Supreme Court? You think it's going to
be appealed again.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, So my guess is the government will try to
get this essentially the injunction that say hey, you can't
do this anymore. They're gonna probably try to take that
to the court. Whether the Court hears that or not,
will see. Ultimately this is gonna continue to make its way,
and I think this will be a healthy thing. I mean,
the Court essentially have said Missouri, you're likely to prevail
(09:21):
on the merits. So there's gonna be more testimony, There's
gonna be more depositions. I mean I took when I
was Attorney General, right before I got toorn into the Senate,
took the deposition of Anthony Fauci, and it was, I mean,
this guy. The more and more we learn, the more
and more we know he lied and so I think
you're gonna have more discovery come out. But in the
meantime they're prevented the course and join them from this
(09:43):
kind of communication, that sort of coersion with these social
media companies. But the court is gonna ultimately decide this
that hey, you can't the government can't use the heavy
humit of government and threaten these social media companies that
unless you take this close down, we're gonna launch an
anti trust investigation, or you're gonna lose your Secon two
thirty protections, or we're gonna, you know, come after you
in some other legal way. It was pretty brazen. I mean, again, Sean,
(10:07):
they were at the podium talking about this. Jinsaki, they
created a Disinformation Governance Board. I mean, these folks are
playing for keeps and we've got to be up to
the challenge and push back. And so I'm really proud
of what we took. And it's also Sean in the
Senate now, I've introduced two pieces of legislations I think
are really important to make sure this doesn't happen again.
So if you think about the private side, if a
(10:29):
social media company engaged in this kind of activity, that
censor speech violates people's first men right, they should lose
their Section two thirty protections, meaning they can be sued.
And if the government does this, we want to empower
an army of citizens to be able to sue individual
government bureaucrats who censored their speech. So as attorney general
is able to bring that. But we want to have
(10:50):
a what's called the sort of a Section nineteen eighty
three cause of action for an individual to sue the
deputy undersecretary of whatever that was censoring their speech. That
will prevent this stuff from happening. So we've got the
court side of it, we now need the legislated piece
of this two and I'm helping leave that charge.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well, we appreciate it. This is a landmark case. This
is a very critical case, and I think every American
needs to take a very a long look at what's
happened here and the idea that the FBI knew that
this laptop was real, that they themselves authenticated it, they
had their own copy of it, and that yet they
(11:27):
still had agents meeting weekly with big tech companies and
the lead up to the twenty twenty election, specifically warning
them that there might be victims of misinformation campaigns about
Joe and Hunter Biden, and then when asked if the
laptop was real, they would not give the answer they
should have given, which is, yeah, that's real. They should
have told them the truth so they could tell the
(11:50):
truth to the American people. And frankly, they probably should
have just stayed out of it. And this is like
the twenty sixteen election, as far as I'm concerned, putting
cinderblock on the scales of a presidential election of which
they should have no involvement at all whatsoever. And you
know what, it's not good for the country. Senator, great
(12:11):
to have you, Senator Eric Schmidt, Missouri, Thank you, sir.
Thanks John eight hundred nine to four one. Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program. Jill
and Maryland, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I'm good? Sean, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
So?
Speaker 7 (12:27):
I've been listening to the show, and I really think
we need Biden to be the Democratic nominee. And I
say that because he's beatable. I think that he will.
Him being their nominee will keep people on the left
at home, just like what happened in the last election
with Trump. I think people on the right stayed home.
(12:50):
I think we need to get President Trump back in office.
I really do. I voted for Trump the first two times.
I plan on voting for him the third time. If
for whatever reason, he's not our nominee, I still plan
on voting for whoever is because listening to Senator Schmidt
and even listening to Congressman Gates the stuff that's going on.
(13:14):
If anything, we just need a band aid. And if
they put somebody else besides Biden up there, and I'm
really scared it's going to be cell Obama, I think
I don't know that we can win.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
People have brought up Michelle Obama's name to me a lot.
I mean, I can see a scenario where they might
call upon her. You know what happens is if something
happens to Joe Biden when we get to the convention
and they need to call an audible and he can't
be the candidate, then what happens at that point, without
(13:49):
a single vote cast in the Democratic Party, they'll be
I could absolutely see her being nominated. Now, does she
want to be president of the United States? I don't know.
I'm not sure that she's equipped to be president of
the United States. Just because her husband was and just
because she was there doesn't really give her a lot
of experience now, does it.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
No, But Biden's not equipped to be the president either,
and I believe that we he's the president as a
figurehead in my opinion. In my opinion, we're in the
middle of Barack Obama's third term, and putting Michelle up
there gives him term number four, maybe term number five.
And you know, there's there's clearly someone else pulling the strings.
It does not making these decisions that part.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think anyone with ice to see can agree with. Anyway,
appreciate the call, Jill, thank you. Eight hundred ninety four
one Shawn our number. All right, twenty five to the
top of the hour, eight hundred ninety four one Shawn
our number.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Will get to your calls, your comments, your intuitive insight
observations coming up straight ahead, all right. You know what
happens cell phones? They get old, broken down, Your battery
doesn't charge the way it used to. You need a
charger with you everywhere you go. Yeah, the glass screens splinters,
it's out of dat. It can hurt anyway. Maybe It's
(15:05):
time to put the old phone out to pasture and
upgrade to the all new five G Samsung Galaxy right now.
You can get it from our friends of pure Talk
absolutely free. And with the five G Samsung Galaxy you
get two day battery life, edged edge display, ultrastrong glass.
When you sign up for pure Talks unlimited talk on

limited text fifteen gig data plan, it's only thirty five
bucks a month. Also comes with mobile hotspot and you
get all the data you could ever need for half
the price of any big carrier at and T, Verizon,
T Mobile, and of course at pure Talk they use
the exact same five G network, the same cell towers
(15:45):
the average family for the same service, paying close to
one thousand dollars a year, less many saving even more
than that. It's a lot of money to save for
the same service. Anyway, make the switch. It's simple, fast
and easy. Dial pound two fifty, say keyword save now.
Do it now you get your five G Samsung Galaxy
when you switch to pure Talk pound two to fifty
(16:07):
keywords save now from our friends at pure Talk. Simply
smarter wireless All right? Uh, well, you know, why wasn't
it made a bigger deal than Joe Biden lied, just
flat out lied about being at ground zero the day
after nine to eleven. I was not at ground zero
the day after nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I was there. A number of days after nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I was there doing coverage from an adjacent building, doing
Hanny and homes. But I was not there the day
after nine to eleven. I wasn't there on nine to eleven.
I couldn't get into New York City. Why would somebody
lie about something like this? You know, it's so insulting
to all the people that were there that you know,
we're told, oh, the air is safe. Was it Christy
(16:52):
Todd Whitman. I think it was Christy Todd Whitman to
oh the air is safe. No, it wasn't safe. You know,
nine to eleven related illness taking lives to this day.
Why did Joe Why does he always seem to lie
about everything? And why is everything about him? Is it
because he's in such a cognitive decline. He lives in
this bizarro fantasy world that only Joe Biden understands.
Speaker 9 (17:15):
Listen crownser in New York, and I remember standing there
the next day and looking at the building I felt
like I was looking through.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The gates of hell.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It looked so devastating because the way you could away
from where you could stand.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Wow, unbelievable. I don't even have words for this. So insulting.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All the people that were down there in the at
that time that was rescue recovery. At for time, people
were dying, hopeful, hoping and praying that they might find
a few people in the rubble alive somehow. Anyway, let's
get to our phones, starting with Dan in Ohio. Hey, Dan,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Sir?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Thank you for taking Mike call Sean. Sean, we need
you as Speaker of the House. Believe me, Publican leadership
is so pathetically weak with McCarthy, McConnell, Lindsey Graham. And
I'm from Ohio and I voted for Jim Jordan as
an independent. But these guys are all talk, zero action.
They held hearings where people lied to them and they
(18:16):
did absolutely nothing. Nothing if Democrats, when you lied to
a Democrat, you went to jail. Republicans nothing. It's frustrating,
it really is. And Democrats are way better at politics.
And what I mean by that is they know how
to name a bill, okay, the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill. They
(18:40):
know how to add things in bills to make it
look like Republicans are voting against the police. They got
a seven trigon dollar bill. They'll put one hundred thousand
for police in there and one hundred thousand for border agents.
And if Republicans vote against it, well, they're against. They
want to defund the police. They don't want to secure
(19:00):
the border. They're just way better at politics than Republicans
will ever be.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know, look, I I'll just say it very very simply,
and to me, it's basic and it's fundamental. Republicans just
need to stand on their principles, stand up for what
they believe in. And you know, the medium mob be
damned and everybody else be damned. Give people hope that
you're gonna mean what you say, say what you mean,
(19:28):
and follow through.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's what their job is here. Now.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't have a lot of hope for the Senate,
but the Senate needs to join with House Republicans and
start fighting. And you know, we're going to watch, you know,
the next eighteen days with the Republicans and then even
beyond that, because I'm sure it will extend beyond that.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You know, we're gonna learn a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This is now, you know, time for Republicans to prove
that they mean what they say. And you know, I
stand by what I said. I think it's a great
step by McCarthy to go with the impeachment inquiry. I
know others would like the impeachment to start right away.
They don't have the votes to start it right away.
They want more evidence. But the case is getting stronger
(20:11):
by the hour, and you'll they will have more investigative
tools and powers available to them by taking this initial
first step. It is real Joe Biden is involved in
a serious allegation of bribery and money laundering, and the
evidence is now growing daily and it's becoming overwhelming and incontrovertible.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But then you got to get to the issue of
you know, what are the issues that impact the American people.
I went over some of the economic numbers before. We
got a massive rise in our poverty rate in this country.
And you know what that means that Americans can be
doing better. Poverty rate is increased for the first time
since twenty ten. Americans are suffering needlessly, and we need
(20:56):
leadership to get us out of it, and we can't
rob from our kids anymore. It's got stop suncanny to me.
But I think we could do better, Dan, I really do.
And now's the time for them to just stand by
what they said they do. It's not complicated, but we
appreciate the call. Dan, Thank you, Gerald and Idaho. Hey Gerald,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
You're an independent voter? It says, all right, how are you, Hannity?
Speaker 10 (21:22):
So you know, my problem is with all this impeachment
and the quick pro quo of Joe Biden. You know,
if anybody out there, a regular citizen like me or
anyone else out there, were to get these inquiries, we
would already be in prison, not walking around free to
do whatever we want, not walking around to do more.
(21:45):
We would already be in prison looking at life. And
we got this guy that has been in Congress for
well over two decades, playing this game the whole time,
playing with classified documents at his home, playing with his
(22:08):
son at Bearisma, taking money, taking bribes, and it's documented proof.
They barely have anything on Trump. Do I like Trump?
Not too much, but you know, at least he was
better than most everyone out.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There, And why don't you like Trump?
Speaker 10 (22:29):
I just I don't know. I just think he's a pain.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
But you know, he rubs you the wrong way.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Good things, you know, he did a lot of good things.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Let me ask you this quite I'm just curious, because
I talked to a lot of people. For whatever reason,
people want to engage me about this. Do you like
the fact that he he fights for everything that he
believes in. In other words, he fought for the They
wouldn't give him the money for the border wall, so
he found another way to get the money to build
the whatever men hundreds of miles that he built, right.
(23:02):
He fights against our allies and NATO to make sure
they pay their fair share. He fights for better trade
deals with Japan and China and Canada and Europe and Mexico.
You know, he fights for energy and dependence. He fights
a fighter. Okay, I don't think that switch goes off.
And some people wonder why doesn't the switch ever go off?
(23:25):
I'm not sure if he can turn it off. But
do you like that part? I mean, is he somebody
that you think that got elected and did what he
promised people he'd do?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Absolutely, And that's not what I mean, when he's a pain,
it's just with the Twitter and with all the other bs.
You know. That's what I'm talking about. His policies, his
the way he did things, the way he worked it
like a business like it should be, because that's exactly
what it is, and it's our country. He is the
leader of our country. He did great things with immigration
(24:01):
with NATO, with getting us out of all the other bs.
We were in. At our gas prices were so low
it was great. Now our gas prices are at four
dollars a gallon or more. And I'm over here in
Idaho looking at things, and I'm like, you know, our
(24:21):
immigration system is so bad over here. I have multiple
farms and dairies here. There is nothing but illegal immigrants there.
Because they're cheap labor, they don't have to pay taxes
on them. And our jail every week is full of
immigrants being transported back to the border or being taken
(24:44):
on a plane and sent over. Now they're just freely
here and they don't do that anymore. When Trump was
elected and he came in, that jail was full every
week on Tuesday and on Wednesday they were transported out
of here and a fantomy got stronger here, our livelihood
got stronger, our pay went up, and Idaho is almost
(25:07):
fully independent. We have one of the best economies in
the nation right now, and since Biden's came up, our
housing prices how skyrocketed. Our economy is still doing pretty good,
but everything is so high that the average Joe cannot
afford rent, they can't afford groceries, they can't afford gas.
(25:29):
An average household like mine, a household of five, I
have to make at least one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars a year just to barely straight by.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Poverty is up. Poverty rate is up for the first
time since twenty ten. You know, there's a Washington Post article.
Remember I don't know if you remember. A couple of
weeks ago, Linda and Iowa kidding around and she made
fun of me. We were talking about WOI gras and
how they want to ban the Basically, it's nothing but
duck liver. I wouldn't go near this crap if you
paid me. And when I go to a fans' restaurant,
(26:00):
which I've been to, I really have never if I
can't understand what's on the menu and it's got all
the fruit, fruity, you know stuff on there. I have
no interest in it. And I wasn't kidding when I
say often, I'll say do you have a children's menu,
because you know, if I have to, I'll get you know,
pasta and marinara or a cheeseburger with no bun. I
(26:24):
don't eat much pasta, but I'll get something from the
kids menu, or a hot dog or whatever, anything other
than the you know, frog Wis and whatever fancy schmancy
stuff that you know, a bunch of elitist seat. Give
me a steak and a hamburger, a piece of chicken,
some vegetables, and I'm good to go, and I'll order
(26:47):
from the kids menu. You know what, there's a Washington
Post article adults are ordering from the kids menu to
save money.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I mean, does that not kind.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Of encapsulate where we are economically in the country. When
sixty one percent, fully sixty one percent of our fellow
Americans who live in paycheck to paycheck, does that not
tell us things errant aren't going in the direction they
should be going. Gas prices now up, you know, up
to four bucks a gallon on average a barrel of
(27:17):
oil now back at one hundred bucks. I mean, this
has got to stop. With all of these problems Bidenomics
and biden Energy policies have caused us. We're all preventable,
and people like you. You're talking about one hundred and
twenty grand family of five and you're struggling to make it.
That's a pretty good salary. Can I ask you a question,
what kind of businesses you with?
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I'm a diesel technician.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm gonna give you some advice, and I don't know
if you're gonna take it. Look into South Dakota and
see how much money you can make in.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
South Dakota same as I'm making here.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Nope, I bet it's more. I will bet you money
it's more.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:59):
I love it six months ago because I just transferred
jobs to a mobile diesel tech and when I looked
at South Dakota, I'm telling you right now, ninety thousand
and I'm making ninety five here.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Linda, we do me a favorite check with Christy Nomes's
office and have one of their people get in touch
with this guy.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, okay, boss, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Thank you, Linda, all right, thank you, Jerald, appreciate it, Buddy,
Mark in Minnesota. Mark, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Sir?
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Yeah, thanks for taking my call, Sean. I was calling
a little bit about twenty twenty election fatigue with President
Trump and just hoping that he can kind of focus
on the future with his campaign and he's going to
get to grind his axes. I think a little bit
(28:48):
in his trial and Georgia, but I think Biden is
his greatest ally with all his awful decisions and basically
just sit back and say what he's going to do.
And a lot of people kind of get turned off
when it when we keep going back to twenty twenty,
twenty twenty because they're hurting. You heard this previous caller.
(29:10):
People are hurting, and they want to know what's upcoming
and really don't want to look in the rear view
mirror right now.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I tend to agree elections are about the future. With
that said, I do think the issue of election integrity
and confidence in our elections are a very important debate
that should be part of the future. And you know,
I think simple things like voter ID signature verification, chain
of custody controls, updated voter rolls. If I had my way,
(29:43):
we'd have election Debia National Holiday. We'd have paper ballots,
all the checks and balances that I just mentioned. Man,
you know, I'd make it all right. You have partisan
observers watching the voting all day and the vote counting
as soon as the polls close, and then you declara
winner and we're done. I think that would be the
system that gave people the most confidence in the results
(30:05):
and would have the most integrity in the process. But
let's see what happens. I don't believe people should be
voting for ninety days outside of an election. Not everything
that people need to know has happened ninety days before
an election. Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend, eight hundred
and ninety four one Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Let's goot prap things up with.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Today and all right now, a full impeachment inquiry will begin.
We'll check in with the House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer,
the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, Senator
Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham. Apparently they were talking about indicting
him down in Georgia. We'll respond to that. RFK Juniors
(30:47):
Josh Hawley, Stephen A. Smith, nine Eastern set you DVR Hannity,
Fox News, we'll see you tonight.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Back here tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Thank you for making this show possible and I We'll
see you later tonight
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload. Our toll free
our number is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh Man, so much to get to I gotta tell
you something. Anyway, let me go to a big victory
that took place this week, Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri,
former ag of Missouri. It had a massive win a
(00:28):
lawsuit that he started as attorney general. As it results
with Biden and his administration colluding with social media giants.
And anyway, I got to tell you something. The administration
now has cleared the wave on a whole variety of issues.
But this this for Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upholding
(00:48):
this District court ruling in Missouri of Missouri versus Biden
and joining the Biden administration from colluding with social media
companies to censor speech. We can't even begin to calculate
the impact that the issue of censorship and big tech
and had on the twenty twenty election presidential election.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
You can't calculate this.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The laptop of Hunter Biden was very real, and yet
we've learned that even though the FBI had that laptop
in December of twenty nineteen, even though we know they've
verified its authenticity. In March of twenty twenty, they had
FBI agents meeting weekly with big tech companies why for
(01:32):
the purpose of warning them that they may be victims
of a misinformation campaign regarding our presidential elections, specifically warning
them that the misinformation may be about Joe and Hunter Biden.
The head of Cite Integrity at the time, Yole Wroth
for Twitter now X, but Twitter at the time had
actually testified that yeah, they specifically warned that it may
(01:55):
be about Hunter Biden, and sure enough, when the when,
and they were meeting with these big tech companies, and
even Facebook and Twitter at the time, not exit the time,
Twitter asked specific questions of the FBI, is the laptop real?
And the FBI knew it was real, they wouldn't give
(02:16):
them the confirmation that they should have been willing to
give them, especially in light of what they had been
warning them against. Because the net result was that no
big tech company even allowed anyone to share the Hunter
Biden laptop store. You couldn't even send it in a
private message to a friend for crying out loud. That's
(02:37):
how bad it got. Anyway, let me play for you.
Christopherray testifying to the issue, the FBI doesn't ask social
media to censor or suppressed stories. I don't believe this
statement is true. Well ask Eric Smidt on the other side.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
The idea that you take information and you have it
taken down, use your authority and the levery you have
to have meta Google Facebook or Facebook being meta or
Twitter take down people's information on things like where COVID
(03:12):
came from? Where do you find the national security interest
in that? Where do you find the interest in free
speech of American citizens being taken down? And I repeat,
free speech of American citizens? Where do you have that authority?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So we don't ask social media companies to censor information
or suppress information when it comes to national security threats, certainly,
So what we do do is alert them when some
other intelligence agency gives us information about a foreign intelligence
service being behind some account, we will call social media
(03:50):
companies attention to that. But at the end of the day,
we're very clear that it's up to the social media
companies decide whether to do something.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Of a suggestion of the most powerful law enform operation
is not a suggestion. It is in fact effectively in order.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
All right, joining us now is senator then Attorney general.
He got this case started back when he was the
Attorney general.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Congratulations. This is a big win with the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals upholding the Missouri versus Biden case and
in joining in this particular case, the Biden administration from
colluding with social media moving forward. Do you believe this
had a big impact on the twenty twenty presidential race?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Absolutely, Sean. And it's as you said, it's hard to
really calculate, but this censorship enterprise that was put in
place was vast and scarier than anybody could have ever imagined.
When we filed the lawsuit over a year ago, we
had our suspicions. I mean, Chinsaki was at the podium
warning social media company. So it turns out they were
threatening legal action, and it spanned from the twenty twenty
(04:56):
election to the vaccine issue, to map to the origin
of COVID. I mean, they were suppressing and censoring millions
of posts, millions of posts, and the discovery that came
out so far is very revealing. Direct communications, a special
portal that was put in place. I mean, this is
Orwellian kind of stuff. And that's not even my words.
(05:19):
That's from the District Court judge that ruled in our favor,
and then ultimately that was affirmed by the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals. Now, this case, I think Sean is
destined for the Supreme Court. It should be. It's the
most important free speech case I think in the history
of the country, because we're no longer talking about just
sort of the town square. This is the virtual town
square in the First Amendment is critical, it's so important
(05:40):
for our republic. It's a pressure release file. It's the
beating heart of the constitution. People have a right to
say their peace, and it's so called experts and these
folks who are claiming everything they don't agree with, this
disinformation needs to be censored, are on the wrong side
of history. So this win is a big win for
the First Amendment and the American people.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I think think this is the most important issue right now,
basing the country in terms of future elections. Now, can
you explain to me why the FBI that had Hunter
Biden's laptop authenticated the laptop, why they were meeting with
big tech companies and it was your case that actually
got the information that I think is most pertinent, and
(06:22):
that the FBI, in these weekly meetings was telling Twitter
in this specific case that in fact, the misinformation campaign
may be about Hunter Biden. And then the Hunter Biden
laptop is made big news in the New York Post,
then Big Tech having been worn weekly by the FBI
representatives that this may be a misinformation campaign, they wouldn't
(06:47):
allow anyone to share that information, pertinent information that I
think the American voter needed to know about, and they
would not confirm even when specifically asked that they knew.
In fact, it was all why is that?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I mean, I think that this is one of the
scariest revelations of the case is that essentially had the
FBI having weekly censorship meetings, So the full power of
the federal government law enforcement right along with the biggest
country companies in the history of the world. I mean,
these are some amost. You combine those two against the
American people and the free flow of information in an
(07:24):
important election, it's scary stuff. And so, yeah, they were
having weekly meetings, they were warning them of a Russian
hacken lead operation. They knew the laptop was real. The
old Ross, in a sworn aff to David said that
they specifically mentioned the hunter Biden laptop, and so they're
setting the stage to spoil that, so they could, you know,
you know, essentially censor the story. Miranda Devine has said
(07:47):
that her emails were being monitored, so they knew exactly
when the story was going to break. And then of
course you've got this sort of establishment intelligence community and
then signs a letter saying this is false and nothing
to see here. You couldn't find the story online. It
was being suppressed on platforms. I mean again, people have
(08:09):
the right to learn about this information and make their
own decisions. Sean, That's really what this comes down to.
Conservatives should be are the champions of free speech. Individuals
can make these decisions well, who they vote for, whether
they wear a mask, whether they get the vaccine, whatever.
The government doesn't have any business in telling you what
the truth is. And I think it's a very dangerous
(08:29):
road to go down. And this case is exposed it
there's an injunction for a number of White House officials.
I mean, this goes all the way to the top,
so that this never happens again. I just think it's
so critical, not just for elections, but just for people
feeling like they can air their opinion. And if people
don't feel like they can do that, that leads to
a lot of frustration that you feel it's out there.
(08:51):
And so again one of the reasons why I think
the case is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Let me ask you, why do you believe this is
going to the Supreme Court? You think it's going to
be appealed again.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, So my guess is the government will try to
get this essentially the injunction that say hey, you can't
do this anymore. They're gonna probably try to take that
to the court. Whether the Court hears that or not,
will see. Ultimately this is gonna continue to make its way,
and I think this will be a healthy thing. I mean,
the Court essentially have said Missouri, you're likely to prevail
(09:21):
on the merits. So there's gonna be more testimony, There's
gonna be more depositions. I mean I took when I
was Attorney General, right before I got toorn into the Senate,
took the deposition of Anthony Fauci, and it was, I mean,
this guy. The more and more we learn, the more
and more we know he lied and so I think
you're gonna have more discovery come out. But in the
meantime they're prevented the course and join them from this
(09:43):
kind of communication, that sort of coersion with these social
media companies. But the court is gonna ultimately decide this
that hey, you can't the government can't use the heavy
humit of government and threaten these social media companies that
unless you take this close down, we're gonna launch an
anti trust investigation, or you're gonna lose your Secon two
thirty protections, or we're gonna, you know, come after you
in some other legal way. It was pretty brazen. I mean, again, Sean,
(10:07):
they were at the podium talking about this. Jinsaki, they
created a Disinformation Governance Board. I mean, these folks are
playing for keeps and we've got to be up to
the challenge and push back. And so I'm really proud
of what we took. And it's also Sean in the
Senate now, I've introduced two pieces of legislations I think
are really important to make sure this doesn't happen again.
So if you think about the private side, if a
(10:29):
social media company engaged in this kind of activity, that
censor speech violates people's first men right, they should lose
their Section two thirty protections, meaning they can be sued.
And if the government does this, we want to empower
an army of citizens to be able to sue individual
government bureaucrats who censored their speech. So as attorney general
is able to bring that. But we want to have
(10:50):
a what's called the sort of a Section nineteen eighty
three cause of action for an individual to sue the
deputy undersecretary of whatever that was censoring their speech. That
will prevent this stuff from happening. So we've got the
court side of it, we now need the legislated piece
of this two and I'm helping leave that charge.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well, we appreciate it. This is a landmark case. This
is a very critical case, and I think every American
needs to take a very a long look at what's
happened here and the idea that the FBI knew that
this laptop was real, that they themselves authenticated it, they
had their own copy of it, and that yet they
(11:27):
still had agents meeting weekly with big tech companies and
the lead up to the twenty twenty election, specifically warning
them that there might be victims of misinformation campaigns about
Joe and Hunter Biden, and then when asked if the
laptop was real, they would not give the answer they
should have given, which is, yeah, that's real. They should
have told them the truth so they could tell the
(11:50):
truth to the American people. And frankly, they probably should
have just stayed out of it. And this is like
the twenty sixteen election, as far as I'm concerned, putting
cinderblock on the scales of a presidential election of which
they should have no involvement at all whatsoever. And you
know what, it's not good for the country. Senator, great
(12:11):
to have you, Senator Eric Schmidt, Missouri, Thank you, sir.
Thanks John eight hundred nine to four one. Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program. Jill
and Maryland, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I'm good? Sean, how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
So?
Speaker 7 (12:27):
I've been listening to the show, and I really think
we need Biden to be the Democratic nominee. And I
say that because he's beatable. I think that he will.
Him being their nominee will keep people on the left
at home, just like what happened in the last election
with Trump. I think people on the right stayed home.
(12:50):
I think we need to get President Trump back in office.
I really do. I voted for Trump the first two times.
I plan on voting for him the third time. If
for whatever reason, he's not our nominee, I still plan
on voting for whoever is because listening to Senator Schmidt
and even listening to Congressman Gates the stuff that's going on.
(13:14):
If anything, we just need a band aid. And if
they put somebody else besides Biden up there, and I'm
really scared it's going to be cell Obama, I think
I don't know that we can win.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
People have brought up Michelle Obama's name to me a lot.
I mean, I can see a scenario where they might
call upon her. You know what happens is if something
happens to Joe Biden when we get to the convention
and they need to call an audible and he can't
be the candidate, then what happens at that point, without
(13:49):
a single vote cast in the Democratic Party, they'll be
I could absolutely see her being nominated. Now, does she
want to be president of the United States? I don't know.
I'm not sure that she's equipped to be president of
the United States. Just because her husband was and just
because she was there doesn't really give her a lot
of experience now, does it.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
No, But Biden's not equipped to be the president either,
and I believe that we he's the president as a
figurehead in my opinion. In my opinion, we're in the
middle of Barack Obama's third term, and putting Michelle up
there gives him term number four, maybe term number five.
And you know, there's there's clearly someone else pulling the strings.
It does not making these decisions that part.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think anyone with ice to see can agree with. Anyway,
appreciate the call, Jill, thank you. Eight hundred ninety four
one Shawn our number. All right, twenty five to the
top of the hour, eight hundred ninety four one Shawn
our number.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Will get to your calls, your comments, your intuitive insight
observations coming up straight ahead, all right. You know what
happens cell phones? They get old, broken down, Your battery
doesn't charge the way it used to. You need a
charger with you everywhere you go. Yeah, the glass screens splinters,
it's out of dat. It can hurt anyway. Maybe It's
(15:05):
time to put the old phone out to pasture and
upgrade to the all new five G Samsung Galaxy right now.
You can get it from our friends of pure Talk
absolutely free. And with the five G Samsung Galaxy you
get two day battery life, edged edge display, ultrastrong glass.
When you sign up for pure Talks unlimited talk on
(15:25):
limited text fifteen gig data plan, it's only thirty five
bucks a month. Also comes with mobile hotspot and you
get all the data you could ever need for half
the price of any big carrier at and T, Verizon,
T Mobile, and of course at pure Talk they use
the exact same five G network, the same cell towers
(15:45):
the average family for the same service, paying close to
one thousand dollars a year, less many saving even more
than that. It's a lot of money to save for
the same service. Anyway, make the switch. It's simple, fast
and easy. Dial pound two fifty, say keyword save now.
Do it now you get your five G Samsung Galaxy
when you switch to pure Talk pound two to fifty
(16:07):
keywords save now from our friends at pure Talk. Simply
smarter wireless All right? Uh, well, you know, why wasn't
it made a bigger deal than Joe Biden lied, just
flat out lied about being at ground zero the day
after nine to eleven. I was not at ground zero
the day after nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I was there. A number of days after nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I was there doing coverage from an adjacent building, doing
Hanny and homes. But I was not there the day
after nine to eleven. I wasn't there on nine to eleven.
I couldn't get into New York City. Why would somebody
lie about something like this? You know, it's so insulting
to all the people that were there that you know,
we're told, oh, the air is safe. Was it Christy
(16:52):
Todd Whitman. I think it was Christy Todd Whitman to
oh the air is safe. No, it wasn't safe. You know,
nine to eleven related illness taking lives to this day.
Why did Joe Why does he always seem to lie
about everything? And why is everything about him? Is it
because he's in such a cognitive decline. He lives in
this bizarro fantasy world that only Joe Biden understands.
Speaker 9 (17:15):
Listen crownser in New York, and I remember standing there
the next day and looking at the building I felt
like I was looking through.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The gates of hell.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It looked so devastating because the way you could away
from where you could stand.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Wow, unbelievable. I don't even have words for this. So insulting.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All the people that were down there in the at
that time that was rescue recovery. At for time, people
were dying, hopeful, hoping and praying that they might find
a few people in the rubble alive somehow. Anyway, let's
get to our phones, starting with Dan in Ohio. Hey, Dan,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Sir?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Thank you for taking Mike call Sean. Sean, we need
you as Speaker of the House. Believe me, Publican leadership
is so pathetically weak with McCarthy, McConnell, Lindsey Graham. And
I'm from Ohio and I voted for Jim Jordan as
an independent. But these guys are all talk, zero action.
They held hearings where people lied to them and they
(18:16):
did absolutely nothing. Nothing if Democrats, when you lied to
a Democrat, you went to jail. Republicans nothing. It's frustrating,
it really is. And Democrats are way better at politics.
And what I mean by that is they know how
to name a bill, okay, the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill. They
(18:40):
know how to add things in bills to make it
look like Republicans are voting against the police. They got
a seven trigon dollar bill. They'll put one hundred thousand
for police in there and one hundred thousand for border agents.
And if Republicans vote against it, well, they're against. They
want to defund the police. They don't want to secure
(19:00):
the border. They're just way better at politics than Republicans
will ever be.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know, look, I I'll just say it very very simply,
and to me, it's basic and it's fundamental. Republicans just
need to stand on their principles, stand up for what
they believe in. And you know, the medium mob be
damned and everybody else be damned. Give people hope that
you're gonna mean what you say, say what you mean,
(19:28):
and follow through.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's what their job is here. Now.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't have a lot of hope for the Senate,
but the Senate needs to join with House Republicans and
start fighting. And you know, we're going to watch, you know,
the next eighteen days with the Republicans and then even
beyond that, because I'm sure it will extend beyond that.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
You know, we're gonna learn a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This is now, you know, time for Republicans to prove
that they mean what they say. And you know, I
stand by what I said. I think it's a great
step by McCarthy to go with the impeachment inquiry. I
know others would like the impeachment to start right away.
They don't have the votes to start it right away.
They want more evidence. But the case is getting stronger
(20:11):
by the hour, and you'll they will have more investigative
tools and powers available to them by taking this initial
first step. It is real Joe Biden is involved in
a serious allegation of bribery and money laundering, and the
evidence is now growing daily and it's becoming overwhelming and incontrovertible.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But then you got to get to the issue of
you know, what are the issues that impact the American people.
I went over some of the economic numbers before. We
got a massive rise in our poverty rate in this country.
And you know what that means that Americans can be
doing better. Poverty rate is increased for the first time
since twenty ten. Americans are suffering needlessly, and we need
(20:56):
leadership to get us out of it, and we can't
rob from our kids anymore. It's got stop suncanny to me.
But I think we could do better, Dan, I really do.
And now's the time for them to just stand by
what they said they do. It's not complicated, but we
appreciate the call. Dan, Thank you, Gerald and Idaho. Hey Gerald,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
You're an independent voter? It says, all right, how are you, Hannity?
Speaker 10 (21:22):
So you know, my problem is with all this impeachment
and the quick pro quo of Joe Biden. You know,
if anybody out there, a regular citizen like me or
anyone else out there, were to get these inquiries, we
would already be in prison, not walking around free to
do whatever we want, not walking around to do more.
(21:45):
We would already be in prison looking at life. And
we got this guy that has been in Congress for
well over two decades, playing this game the whole time,
playing with classified documents at his home, playing with his
(22:08):
son at Bearisma, taking money, taking bribes, and it's documented proof.
They barely have anything on Trump. Do I like Trump?
Not too much, but you know, at least he was
better than most everyone out.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There, And why don't you like Trump?
Speaker 10 (22:29):
I just I don't know. I just think he's a pain.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
But you know, he rubs you the wrong way.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Good things, you know, he did a lot of good things.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Let me ask you this quite I'm just curious, because
I talked to a lot of people. For whatever reason,
people want to engage me about this. Do you like
the fact that he he fights for everything that he
believes in. In other words, he fought for the They
wouldn't give him the money for the border wall, so
he found another way to get the money to build
the whatever men hundreds of miles that he built, right.
(23:02):
He fights against our allies and NATO to make sure
they pay their fair share. He fights for better trade
deals with Japan and China and Canada and Europe and Mexico.
You know, he fights for energy and dependence. He fights
a fighter. Okay, I don't think that switch goes off.
And some people wonder why doesn't the switch ever go off?
(23:25):
I'm not sure if he can turn it off. But
do you like that part? I mean, is he somebody
that you think that got elected and did what he
promised people he'd do?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Absolutely, And that's not what I mean, when he's a pain,
it's just with the Twitter and with all the other bs.
You know. That's what I'm talking about. His policies, his
the way he did things, the way he worked it
like a business like it should be, because that's exactly
what it is, and it's our country. He is the
leader of our country. He did great things with immigration
(24:01):
with NATO, with getting us out of all the other bs.
We were in. At our gas prices were so low
it was great. Now our gas prices are at four
dollars a gallon or more. And I'm over here in
Idaho looking at things, and I'm like, you know, our
(24:21):
immigration system is so bad over here. I have multiple
farms and dairies here. There is nothing but illegal immigrants there.
Because they're cheap labor, they don't have to pay taxes
on them. And our jail every week is full of
immigrants being transported back to the border or being taken
(24:44):
on a plane and sent over. Now they're just freely
here and they don't do that anymore. When Trump was
elected and he came in, that jail was full every
week on Tuesday and on Wednesday they were transported out
of here and a fantomy got stronger here, our livelihood
got stronger, our pay went up, and Idaho is almost
(25:07):
fully independent. We have one of the best economies in
the nation right now, and since Biden's came up, our
housing prices how skyrocketed. Our economy is still doing pretty good,
but everything is so high that the average Joe cannot
afford rent, they can't afford groceries, they can't afford gas.
(25:29):
An average household like mine, a household of five, I
have to make at least one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars a year just to barely straight by.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Poverty is up. Poverty rate is up for the first
time since twenty ten. You know, there's a Washington Post article.
Remember I don't know if you remember. A couple of
weeks ago, Linda and Iowa kidding around and she made
fun of me. We were talking about WOI gras and
how they want to ban the Basically, it's nothing but
duck liver. I wouldn't go near this crap if you
paid me. And when I go to a fans' restaurant,
(26:00):
which I've been to, I really have never if I
can't understand what's on the menu and it's got all
the fruit, fruity, you know stuff on there. I have
no interest in it. And I wasn't kidding when I
say often, I'll say do you have a children's menu,
because you know, if I have to, I'll get you know,
pasta and marinara or a cheeseburger with no bun. I
(26:24):
don't eat much pasta, but I'll get something from the
kids menu, or a hot dog or whatever, anything other
than the you know, frog Wis and whatever fancy schmancy
stuff that you know, a bunch of elitist seat. Give
me a steak and a hamburger, a piece of chicken,
some vegetables, and I'm good to go, and I'll order
(26:47):
from the kids menu. You know what, there's a Washington
Post article adults are ordering from the kids menu to
save money.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I mean, does that not kind.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Of encapsulate where we are economically in the country. When
sixty one percent, fully sixty one percent of our fellow
Americans who live in paycheck to paycheck, does that not
tell us things errant aren't going in the direction they
should be going. Gas prices now up, you know, up
to four bucks a gallon on average a barrel of
(27:17):
oil now back at one hundred bucks. I mean, this
has got to stop. With all of these problems Bidenomics
and biden Energy policies have caused us. We're all preventable,
and people like you. You're talking about one hundred and
twenty grand family of five and you're struggling to make it.
That's a pretty good salary. Can I ask you a question,
what kind of businesses you with?
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I'm a diesel technician.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm gonna give you some advice, and I don't know
if you're gonna take it. Look into South Dakota and
see how much money you can make in.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
South Dakota same as I'm making here.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Nope, I bet it's more. I will bet you money
it's more.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:59):
I love it six months ago because I just transferred
jobs to a mobile diesel tech and when I looked
at South Dakota, I'm telling you right now, ninety thousand
and I'm making ninety five here.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Linda, we do me a favorite check with Christy Nomes's
office and have one of their people get in touch
with this guy.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Okay, okay, boss, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Thank you, Linda, all right, thank you, Jerald, appreciate it, Buddy,
Mark in Minnesota. Mark, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Sir?
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Yeah, thanks for taking my call, Sean. I was calling
a little bit about twenty twenty election fatigue with President
Trump and just hoping that he can kind of focus
on the future with his campaign and he's going to
get to grind his axes. I think a little bit
(28:48):
in his trial and Georgia, but I think Biden is
his greatest ally with all his awful decisions and basically
just sit back and say what he's going to do.
And a lot of people kind of get turned off
when it when we keep going back to twenty twenty,
twenty twenty because they're hurting. You heard this previous caller.
(29:10):
People are hurting, and they want to know what's upcoming
and really don't want to look in the rear view
mirror right now.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I tend to agree elections are about the future. With
that said, I do think the issue of election integrity
and confidence in our elections are a very important debate
that should be part of the future. And you know,
I think simple things like voter ID signature verification, chain
of custody controls, updated voter rolls. If I had my way,
(29:43):
we'd have election Debia National Holiday. We'd have paper ballots,
all the checks and balances that I just mentioned. Man,
you know, I'd make it all right. You have partisan
observers watching the voting all day and the vote counting
as soon as the polls close, and then you declara
winner and we're done. I think that would be the
system that gave people the most confidence in the results
(30:05):
and would have the most integrity in the process. But
let's see what happens. I don't believe people should be
voting for ninety days outside of an election. Not everything
that people need to know has happened ninety days before
an election. Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend, eight hundred
and ninety four one Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Let's goot prap things up with.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Today and all right now, a full impeachment inquiry will begin.
We'll check in with the House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer,
the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, Senator
