Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, do round up Information Overload hour toll free.
It's eight hundred and ninety four one sean if you
want to join us. I noticed that, you know, when
you're not held accountable for lying to a FISA court
with unverifiable debunked information, not once, and in the case
of James Comy three times the government did of four times,
(00:26):
you know, Comy even telling I think it was Lindsey
Graham and a hearing. Oh, knowing what I know now,
I wouldn't have spied on Carter Page and have a
back door into all things President Trump and the Trump
presidency and the Trump campaign. Interesting note, but apparently now
on the twenty twenty four election you can add the
twenty twenty election, the twenty sixteen election, and the FBI involvement.
(00:50):
They prebunked the Hunter Biden laptop. Clearly when they had
a copy themselves, they could have verified its authenticity in
no time. Comy says on the twenty for elections, it
has to be Joe, of course, it has to be Joe.
Joe's protecting the likes of Comi. They all have for
the longest time.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You're a Republican most of your life but voted for
and you make it still consider yourself one, but voted
for Biden in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Do you intend to vote for him again?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Or is there anyone on the Republican side you might consider.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
If it's not Trump, it has to be Joe Biden,
and I'm glad he's willing to serve. It has to
be somebody committed to the rule of law, committed to
the values of this country. I'm not talking about policy.
People can disagree about policy. There are things above those
disagreements that all of us should think about the same way.
The president must be someone who abides the law in
(01:43):
our constitution. And there's no one else but Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Speaking of which, James Comer, who heads the House Government
Reform Oversight Committee that has been investigating the Biden family syndicate,
he spoke out earlier today because the FBI has not
been particularly helpful, especially when it comes to this ten
twenty three form that he has been requesting, that has
(02:09):
that he believes has a credible allegation that Joe Biden
as vice president accepted money in exchange for specific actions
and the FBI has been requested again and again and again,
and they refuse to cooperate. So comer says today, okay,
that would be obstruction, and we're going to hold you
(02:30):
in contempt, meaning Director ray Listen.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified FBI generated record has
not been disproven and is currently being used in an
ongoing investigation. The confidential human source who provided information about
then Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery
scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been
(02:55):
used by the FBI for over ten years and has
been paid over six figures. These are facts and know
about of spend and frankly lies from the White House
or Congressional Democrats can change this information. At the briefing,
the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record
(03:18):
to the custody of the House Oversaught Committee, and we
will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
All right, So anyway, joining us now he was once
the chairman of this important committee himself. Now a Fox
News colleague, Jason Chafitz is with US. Best selling author,
by the way, his brand new book is out today
the puppeteers, the people who control the people who control America.
Not exactly a book title that you want to hear
(03:50):
about in this great country. But anyway, Congressman, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
How are you, sir, col Thanks for having me, Sean,
I bet you're.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Loving your time out of office now being called a pundit.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Well, I am a little jealous of James Comber right
now because he is definitely over the target and they
have the FBI backpedaling here and it's not good. It's
not good for the country, and they have some serious
questions to answer.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
All right, Well, that's happening. Simultaneously, we're hearing not one,
but two separate meetings with Donald Trump's lawyers and the Dojay.
Rumors are running rampant about a possible indictment as to
the mar A Lago documents case. You know, can you
explain that to me, especially in light of Joe Biden
and all the varying places that he had documents.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah, no, he had. It is such a double standard.
You talk about it every day, Sean. You and I
have been talking about this for years. The unequal application
of justice just has to stop. We have to have
a different president. I totally disagree with James. The number
one argument for electing Donald Trump or somebody you know
(04:58):
on the Republican side of the eye for president is
that James Cobe cannot afford to allow a Republican in
there to have a Republican attorney general. He's scared to
death of that, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
The thing is is that if you go back and
you were a part of our coverage, a lot of
our coverage came to the twenty sixteen election and lying
to fize the courts, and you know who got held
accountable in those instances? Can you name anybody? Because really,
nobody got held accountable.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
No, we had over a thousand pages of documentation from
the Inspector General, you have the Durham Report, you have
the Muller Report, which really also adds to that as well.
Nobody held accountable. Even the person that would forged documents
as an FBI attorney didn't even lose his law license
for goodness sake. So the lawlessness continues and nobody is
(05:51):
held accountable, nobody is fired, nobody loses their security coins.
The fifty one people that came up with his bogus
letter to try to debunk you know, the Hunter Biden laptop.
Why do they still have security clearances? That is so
just offensive and I'm tired of talk about it. I
want to actually have some changes done. But you're gonna
(06:13):
have that change in Senate. You're going to have to
change the White House. You're going to have to defund
these people. You have to reorganize the thing top to bottom,
and you're going to have to have some somebody with
some serious, you know, gravitas to get in there and
actually do it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, let me ask you, because you know Michael Horowitz.
Let me ask you about Michael Horowitz. I mean, you know,
he came out with a stinging report and it had
referrals in the report, but.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Yet nothing happens.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean in your book you go into great specificity,
in detail about monies and slush funds and you know,
partisan priorities, how they're funded. I mean, and I want
to get into that in a second here, but it
seems like the people that have most protected are the
people with the highest levels of power, and there's no
accountability for these people.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I write about in The Puppeteers, this new book that
I just are literally is coming out today follow the money,
follow the people. But in addition to that, I got
to tell you part of that accountability is the courts.
And you and I have talked about this before, Sean.
When can you ever go to a light to the court.
Where's John Roberts on this? I'm sorry, but the Chief
(07:21):
Justice of the United States of America is in charge
of the piz of court. How can they get lied
to with a forged document in their exactly zero consequences.
I've never understood that Michael Horowitz is the Inspector General,
has made dozens of criminal referral. One of the things
people need to know about. The Inspector General is not
(07:43):
empowered to prosecute people. The Inspector General is not empowered
to interview or investigate any attorneys within the Department of Justice.
That has to change. If he can't be bumps into
it an attorney, he has to back off. And that
is It's old Rock. It's not true in any other
department agency except the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
So I'm reading your book The Puppeteers, the people that
control the people who control America, and I'm thinking, you
know the depth of the lack of knowledge of the
American people when it comes to you know, the people
behind the scenes that actually pull the power strings. If
you will, you expose a lot of this, and you know,
(08:29):
for example, who are these people pulling the strings, setting
the agendas with all the power, creating the incentives, right
the rules.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Who are they?
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Well, if anybody thinks it's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
or Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, they
are just up in the night. There is an administrative state,
there's a bureaucratic state, but there are trillions of dollars
behind them that actually moved the meter in terms of
(08:58):
like we talk a lot about G and DEEI and
all of these subversive things that they're trying to do
to change the American culture, change the way things are
done in this country. We exposed, for instance, Susan Rice
and how she was charged with changing the way we
do elections. We get into depths of Executive Order fourteen
(09:20):
zero one nine that Joe Biden put out, you know,
March of his first year in office, and how there's
an ongoing lawsuit to try to expose how he's trying
to change and manipulate elections we tear the lid off
the literally hundreds of billions of dollars in slush funds
that Joe Biden and the Democratic machine have at their disposal,
(09:43):
so that no matter what happens in an election, Sean,
you know, we elect new people and we get all excited,
and then we wonder why didn't anything change. It's because
the Democrats have already figured out how to fund and
put their people in place so that no matter who's
in power, they're going to win the next election because
their policies will continue to be implemented. That's what's scary about.
(10:04):
That's why when you read this book you get scared.
But there's also solutions on how to tackle it. But
I feel like Republicans are.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well explain who these people are so people know.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
So Brian Deese, for instance, he replaced Larry Kudlow in
the Economic Council. Larry Kudlow was there in the Trump
administration to make the economy better and it was working.
Then Joe Biden comes in.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Who does he take?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
He takes somebody to work for Joe Biden, And who
is with Blackrock? He's a climate activist. He's the one
that's actually in behind the scenes, pulling the strings. Susan Rice,
you know, she went from National Security advisor to domestic
policy advisor. Never heard of peep from her. She just
left office in May of in May twenty sixth, but
(10:47):
she was the one that was working on getting all
the departments and agencies and leveraging them so that the
twenty twenty four elections is as baked as they could
possibly make it before we even get to election day.
These are but just to the teachers unions. You know,
Randy Weingarten at the she has at her disposal, is
the head of the teachers union. Three hundred million dollars.
(11:10):
We get into how she with some of her crony
friends from Hunter Biden go out and spend three million
dollars not to better teachers in our schools, but to
give them money to China so that they could get
this personal protective equipment that ended up being bogus. It
was actually counterfeit. But again all ties back through Hunter Biden. Coincidentally,
(11:32):
nobody's ever heard these stories. That's what this book does.
The puppeteers.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Use some chapitz is back with those.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
My fellow Fox News colleague, also author of the book,
out today. It's called the puppeteers, the people who control
the people who control America, Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com,
bookstores across the country. Everybody that I know looks at
the double standard in terms of justice, the double standard
in the way elections are run, et cetera, et cetera,
and they just say, well, why don't Republicans fix their system?
(12:01):
Why don't they get better at doing what the Democrats
are doing? How is it that all these these deep
state states saboteurs, if you will, people that have flaunt
the law. How come they keep getting away with it?
How come they never get there are never any consequences.
But if you're a Republican, you know, you get arrested
for spitting on the sidewalk.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
They control the levers of government. We show the numbers.
We're in many departments and agencies. Ninety five percent of
the government employees to make a political donation go to democrats.
Some agencies that's one hundred percent. Do you think they're
going to start enforcing the laws on the Securities and
Exchange Commission, for instance, on on democrats or Republicans. Do
you think they look at it through a partisan lens?
(12:41):
I mean we we actually go through and show the
flow of money. The Inflation Reduction Act sean three hundred
and seventy plus billion dollars given to John Podesta. Who's
John Podesta. John Podesta was the part of the Cleanton machine.
He was the chief staff, he ran Hillary Clinton's campaign.
(13:02):
He has three hundred and seventy billion dollars at his
disposal to hand out to whom he wants.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
In addition to three, he has three hundred and seventy
billion with a B. How do you know this?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
The B because it was in the Inflation Reduction Act.
They created a climate flush fund that with part of
that act. It's a massive, massive amount of money that
is bigger. You could take a whole host of states.
You don't even come close to that money. And I'm
telling you when you look at the state treasurers, for instance,
(13:34):
the chief financial officers for these states, Democrat control over
one trillion dollars in assets. And what do they do?
Then they go to your local company Blackrock. For instance,
of the S and P five hundred, ninety seven point
five percent of the S and P five hundred companies
are owned by at least if Blackrock owns at least
(13:56):
five percent of them. And this is how they manipulate
boards and exon and all these people. And suddenly you
wake up and say, why is my company doing this?
Why are they doing all this climate change? Why are
they doing all this the genda? It's because they're using
your the people listening to the show, your retirement funds
are being used by them to manipulate these companies to
(14:18):
do things that you would never do. It doesn't maximize
your return on your investment or your retirement, but it
does move the democratic machine forward, and then they leverage
them to go win an election.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The book, by the way, is called The Puppeteers, The
People That Control the People who Control America. It's on
Amazon dot com, It's up on Hannity dot com now
and bookstores all across the country. Jason Schafitz, Wow, it's
an eye opening book. You now working, I know with
Peter Sweitzer and Eric Eggers and the great people over
at the Government Accountability Institute, which I think is great,
(14:52):
and the research is just unbelievable. And we've only touched
the surface here. We appreciate you being with us. Hope
people get to copy the puppet tiers, the people who
control the people who control America. Anyway, Thank you, sir,
We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Check out the show twenty four to seven, download it
to your iPod, be Handity Insider at Hannity dot com.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Hi twenty five to the top of the hour eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean if you want to be
a part of the program. Now, when a service member
or first responder dies or is catastrophically injured in the
line of duty, who's there for them and their families
that are left behind? Who's helping our homeless vets and
our nation to never forget? Nine to eleven, two thousand
and one. Well, that's where the Tunnel to the Towers
(15:41):
Foundation comes in now. The Foundations in the Line of
Duty programs are comprised of gold Star, Fallen first Responder,
Smart Home, and Veteran Homelessness programs, all of which are
dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families. The
Foundations Never Forget programs engage people of nine eleven remembrances
(16:01):
all across the country. They have over eighty runs, walks
climbs a year, dozens of golf outings, dozens of barbecues,
and the Tunnel to Towers nine to eleven Institute. They're
educating kids from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Why so that
this country keeps its promise to never forget? Or the
ninety five cents out of every dollar you donate to
(16:23):
the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes directly to programs never
forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. Anyway, they're asking
all of us join Team Hannity and pledging eleven bucks
a month. That's the only way they survive. Go to
their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter
T dot org. The letter T the number two, the
(16:43):
letter T dot org to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All right, let's uh let me play you know Tim Scott,
as I mentioned earlier today, let me mention it again.
He's on the View today and remember what Let's go
back in time the View when he decided to get
into this presidential race. They had a lot to say
(17:07):
about Tim Scott and this is what they.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Said, Well, isn't he professor positive? Unlike Trump? Everything's bad
this Doom's day. He's more in the reagan Esque Morning
in America. Things are fabulous, and he's also hedging his bets.
He doesn't really go out and say he's not pro
choice exactly, although he did say when he's saying that
he would vote to anything they put on this table
(17:30):
of Republicans. So he is not pro choice. And he's
one of these guys who, you know, he's like Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps
rather than to me, understanding the systemic racism that African
Americans face in this country another minorities.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
He doesn't get it. Neither does Clarence, and that's why
they're Republicans.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, So Tim Scott wanted to go on The View
today and he's answering questions like, for example, So Houston's
question about systemic racism. You know, there were a ton
of interruptions, but he handled it really well. He talks
about all the progress this country has made in terms
of African Americans, Hispanic Americans at one moment. Is very interesting.
(18:14):
This is the second time now this has happened in
recent weeks. The last time I think it was Governor Sanunu,
I'm not sure, but Republicans don't want to go on
that show because they get booed all the time. What's
the point, Gee, let me go on the view and
see if I can get shouted over by joylist behar
and booed by the audience. But what Pee Goldberg stepped
in and said, no, we're going to listen to Tim Scott. Listen,
(18:35):
what is your definition of systemic racism?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Let me answer the question that you've answered as it
or does it even exist in your mind? Let me
answer the question this way.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
One of the things I think about, and one of
the reasons why I'm on the show is because of
the comments that were made frankly on this show that
the only way for a young African American kid to
be successful in this country is to be the exception
and not the role. That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting
message this into our young people today, that the only
way to succeed is by being the exception. I will
(19:06):
tell you that if my life is the exception, I
can't imagine it is.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But it's not. Actually here's here's fourteen years. Yes.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
So the fact of the matter is we've had an
African American president, African American Vice president, We've had two
African Americans to be Secretaries of the state. In my
home city, the police chief is an African American who's
now running for mayor. The head of the highway Patrol
for South client is the African Americans.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
In nineteen seventy.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Five, there is about fifteen percent of employment in the
African American community. For the first time in the history
of the country, it's under five percent homelessness.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Tholks in our community asked the question.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
I know that I've watched you on the show that
you like people to be deferential and respectful, So I'm
going to do the same things.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So here's what I'm going to suggest.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
I'm going to suggest the fact of the matter is
that progress in America is palpable.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
It could be measured in generations.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Finish, do you think Disney's radical left?
Speaker 11 (19:59):
I think Disney and Ronnie been in the combat zone
for a number of months over what I thought was
the right issue as it relates to our young kids
and what they're being indoctrinated with. I thought he started
off on the right foot on that issue.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
No, no, no, no, not he I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Do not boom.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
This is the view we accept we don't have to
believe everything people say.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
But you cannot boo people here. Please, you cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Please continue.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I have great appearance. I saw the whole thing because
I knew it was coming and I was alerted to it.
But I mean it was He's on TV tonight. We'll
get his reaction all of this. All right, let's get
to our phones. Gary and Alabama. What's up, Gary? How
are you glad you called sir Sean?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sean doing great? Longtime listener from your early days in
Atlanta nineteen nineties, early nineties. Hey, look, I'm what's.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The difference between Hannity in the early nineties and Hannity now?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
No difference. You're still very conservative, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I really, you know what, that's the best comp you
give me. I don't change, you know, based on the tides.
Once you find principles that work, and once you have
once you know they work, you have confidence in espousing them.
You know, there is all these people constantly changing. Oh,
I'm going to be a liberal today. I think I'll
do better if I turn a libertarian tomorrow. You know what,
(21:21):
I don't know. To me, that's not being real if
you really believe in something, it's those beliefs stick with
you unless you're proven false. And conservatism always works. But
I digress.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Go ahead, yes, And I just let you know I'm
not an independent or modern I'm very strong conservative. But
you may remembered eleventh Commandment about Ronald Reagan and said,
dal shall not speak ill of another Republican. And in
your town hall meeting, you asked a very good question
of President Trump. And you know, I'm not against him.
I just wanted him to answer the question a little
more elaborate, but just be a little more elaborated and
(21:54):
his answer more specific to it, because I think he
took it as more against the Democrats and his fellow Republicans,
because I feel like, you know, he was, He's still
doing the name calling. He's still kind of not toning
down that rhetoric, which I think that's where a lot
of voters still are just wish you'd be more presidential,
more like Ronald Reagan in the sense that what I mean,
(22:16):
you're if you're heading the polls, why do you have
to worry about that? And I just didn't feel like
he got to.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, let me shed some light on it because I
have to combine the last two interviews to give you
the full answer. Maybe you didn't see my sit down
that I had with him at mar Lago that was
the previous interview. In that interview, I asked a very
simple question. I said, I thought you and Ron DeSantis
were friends.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That was the entire question, and he gave a pretty
lengthy answer about how he felt that if it weren't
for his endorsement, support rallies, et cetera. And I think
there's some truth to it. I think that, you know,
if Trump didn't really go to bat for Ron and
Rick Scott, you know, at the end of that race
in twenty eighteen, I'm not sure either one of them
would have crossed the finish line. I mean, you know,
(23:00):
Rick Scott won by like ten thousand votes. Ron Desantas,
I think won by a little over thirty thousand votes.
And I'm not saying that Trump is fully responsible, but
he played a big part in helping both of them,
and so he kind of used it as disloyalty. Now,
in Ron's defense, I think you could say, Okay, Trump
supported the.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Right guy and that he did a great job.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Why wouldn't you celebrate that, you fix that you picked
the right guy and you were ahead of the curve.
And you know, I think the thinking is, oh, okay,
I'm glad I can help you become governor, so you
can now run against me. I should have gone to
get with the other guy who had no intentions to
run against me. So that's where that's where this stems from,
at least on Trump's side.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Does that make.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Sense, Yes, sir, I think what happens if I've read
an article about it, it's more of a keeping a
moniker on like Pocahontas or some other Democratic candidate. But
the Republicans I wish he'd just stay off of. But
it's because of sound bites in the media. You're trying
to get a quick SoundBite and then that sticks with
the voters. But I really wish he'd be more like
Ronald Reagan and stout shall not speak ill Republican that way.
(24:01):
I think he's more presidential and he'll get more voters
and toning down that rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I was asking, you know, you know, how does this
help you? It might help him with it. It does
help him with his base. I mean, if you look
at some of his base, you know, just just I
don't spend any time online, but I get enough feedback
from from sweet Baby James and Linda and others to
know that, you know, hardcore maga people are angry at
(24:27):
Ron the way the president is and and I get it.
But at the end of the day, you know, look,
as I've said so many times, it's eventually if a
primary gets close, and let me tell you what's going
to happen. It's going to be political warfare. It's going
to be a blood sport. That's why they call it
a blood sport. And it's going to get ugly. It
always does. But we're kind of starting out in an
(24:50):
area I wish we weren't starting there and we were
more united focused on you know, who's ruining the country here.
It's the Democratic Party, it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden doesn't
know what day of the week it is. So I
don't disagree with you, But do I wish they got
along at this point?
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Sure, I absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
If it gets close down the road and they're they're
fighting for their survival and for the nomination, I mean,
you know, at that point, I understand the gloves come off.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
That's just the nature of politics. That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yes, sir, I think you're right, And I think
the coin phrase was actually came from a guy who
who's the state chairman of California when gun Reagan was president,
Reagan was running for governor. It was Gaylord Parkinson nineteen
in the nineteen sixties, and he did it for that purpose,
for unity. He didn't want to fellow Republicans buying each
(25:40):
other when they were trying to fight the Democrats.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Look, I mean you mean the Eleventh Commandment. Look, I
ideally that's the situation. The reality is what the reality is,
and we can't change that part anyway. I do appreciate
you called Gary, Alabama. What part of Alabama are you in?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
All right?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm in Barbieham, Okay, nice area.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I love it down there. I've been to the Birmingham
and Zoom many times. Let's see Gina is in Mississippi. Hey, Gina,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
Hi? God Sean, what a pleasure to get to talk
speak with you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
The pleasure is all mine and I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Well, I totally agree with everything the last caller said,
and that is also my concern. I love Donald J. Trump.
I have been an avid supporter of his since day one.
I got into politics about twenty years ago when I
started listening to the magnificent Rush Limbaugh and he turned
(26:38):
me onto politics, and I am I worked it very closely,
and I am very upset because I am feeling defeated.
And I know you don't want to hear me say that,
but you know, I'll watch. I start watching every the
(26:58):
political shows in the morning. I watch a show called
Washington Journal where everybody calls in.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
The show itself is unfair.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Because they take more Democrat credit calls, and they do
Republicans their bias, but they claim to be neutral, but
they're not. And so many ways are spread about all
the Republicans and the MAGA people on that show. It's unbelievable.
But anyway, I am very concerned with Donald Trump. I
(27:33):
do believe he is going off the train track when
he bashes Lawn into Santis with you know, a calling
his just even in his name, calling him the sanctus. Uh.
That's wrong, and he is turning off a lot of
his supporters by doing that. Now, I do believe with
all my heart he loves America and he is the
(27:56):
one who is can turn it around. But I also
believe what Rush Wimball said that the only person that
can bring Donald Trump down is Donald Trump himself. So
I don't know what to do because I think what
I think is that they should hook up, and I
(28:16):
think De Santis should run as a VP. And you know,
and that's that. I am very frustrated with all the Republicans,
the Rhinos. You know, it doesn't make sense. This is
sort of like a war, a political war, and if
our side, if the Republicans do not stick together, then
(28:38):
we're going to lose again. I mean, we have so many,
so many things against us, like the media. The media
is obviously on the Democrat side, and I mean most
of the media is owned by these big corporations who
lean left. So we don't have much of a chance
(29:00):
if we don't stick together.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, I just gave the same answer to the to
the last caller, so I'm not going to repeat myself.
I am getting a lot of calls on this very topic.
I get it, I understand it. You know, Look, there's
going to be a process. Let's see how the process,
you know, works itself out. I mean, why do you think.
I mean, Mike Pence filed his papers today, so he's in.
(29:24):
And it looks like Chris Christie's getting in this week.
All right, big deal. Chris Christie's from all I can see,
is only running to bludgeon Trump. That's the only reason
he's showing that he really wants to get in this race.
And he's entitled to do that. He's entitled to have
his point of view. But I don't think he's going anywhere,
and I don't even think he's trying to go anywhere.
That to me is a waste of time. I mean,
(29:45):
look at somebody like Ramaswami. Do I think he's gonna
win the nomination. No, But I've been willing to give
him aritime. He's pretty smart. I'm pretty impressed with him.
Nice guy, and you know what, I like his fighting spirit.
I like Tim Scott's fighting spirit. Nikki Helly, you know what,
she deserves to be in this race if she wants
to be in it, and the same with anyone else
(30:06):
that feels like jumping in.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
And you know, I kind of agree with rush too.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It's the only one that I see that can beat
Donald Trump is Donald Trump. Now, I know the deep State.
I mean, there's been rumors running rampant all week about
at some point this week Donald Trump is going to
be indicted by the Special Counsel.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Do I know if any of that's true. I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
We have reports of not one, but two meetings with
the Department of Justice and Trump lawyers, and I think
he's got enough enemies in terms of the medium mob
that hate him, and the deep state bureaucrats and the
Democratic Party that you know, want to destroy this man
at any cost and even compromising our entire justice system
(30:47):
to go after one person. Anyway, eight hundred nine four one,

Speaker 1 (32:12):
For America, Sean Hannity telling the Truth at mainstream Media
likes dide Sean Hannity, all right.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's gonna wrap things up at today.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Rumors running rampant that the potential indictment of Donald Trump
in the Special Council case as it relates to documents
and the marro Lago raid, Ted Cruz, nuke Gingrich Tonight,
Congressman James Comer, Congressman Jim Jordan, Tim Scott, who took
on the ladies of the View, Tommy larn Charlie Arnold,
say DBR Hannity nine Eastern on Fox of the latest
(32:49):
on this breaking story of much more news you'll never
get for the media mob see it tonight, back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, do round up Information Overload hour toll free.
It's eight hundred and ninety four one sean if you
want to join us. I noticed that, you know, when
you're not held accountable for lying to a FISA court
with unverifiable debunked information, not once, and in the case
of James Comy three times the government did of four times,
(00:26):
you know, Comy even telling I think it was Lindsey
Graham and a hearing. Oh, knowing what I know now,
I wouldn't have spied on Carter Page and have a
back door into all things President Trump and the Trump
presidency and the Trump campaign. Interesting note, but apparently now
on the twenty twenty four election you can add the
twenty twenty election, the twenty sixteen election, and the FBI involvement.
(00:50):
They prebunked the Hunter Biden laptop. Clearly when they had
a copy themselves, they could have verified its authenticity in
no time. Comy says on the twenty for elections, it
has to be Joe, of course, it has to be Joe.
Joe's protecting the likes of Comi. They all have for
the longest time.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You're a Republican most of your life but voted for
and you make it still consider yourself one, but voted
for Biden in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Do you intend to vote for him again?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Or is there anyone on the Republican side you might consider.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
If it's not Trump, it has to be Joe Biden,
and I'm glad he's willing to serve. It has to
be somebody committed to the rule of law, committed to
the values of this country. I'm not talking about policy.
People can disagree about policy. There are things above those
disagreements that all of us should think about the same way.
The president must be someone who abides the law in
(01:43):
our constitution. And there's no one else but Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Speaking of which, James Comer, who heads the House Government
Reform Oversight Committee that has been investigating the Biden family syndicate,
he spoke out earlier today because the FBI has not
been particularly helpful, especially when it comes to this ten
twenty three form that he has been requesting, that has
(02:09):
that he believes has a credible allegation that Joe Biden
as vice president accepted money in exchange for specific actions
and the FBI has been requested again and again and again,
and they refuse to cooperate. So comer says today, okay,
that would be obstruction, and we're going to hold you
(02:30):
in contempt, meaning Director ray Listen.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified FBI generated record has
not been disproven and is currently being used in an
ongoing investigation. The confidential human source who provided information about
then Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery
scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been
(02:55):
used by the FBI for over ten years and has
been paid over six figures. These are facts and know
about of spend and frankly lies from the White House
or Congressional Democrats can change this information. At the briefing,
the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record
(03:18):
to the custody of the House Oversaught Committee, and we
will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
All right, So anyway, joining us now he was once
the chairman of this important committee himself. Now a Fox
News colleague, Jason Chafitz is with US. Best selling author,
by the way, his brand new book is out today
the puppeteers, the people who control the people who control America.
Not exactly a book title that you want to hear
(03:50):
about in this great country. But anyway, Congressman, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
How are you, sir, col Thanks for having me, Sean,
I bet you're.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Loving your time out of office now being called a pundit.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Well, I am a little jealous of James Comber right
now because he is definitely over the target and they
have the FBI backpedaling here and it's not good. It's
not good for the country, and they have some serious
questions to answer.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
All right, Well, that's happening. Simultaneously, we're hearing not one,
but two separate meetings with Donald Trump's lawyers and the Dojay.
Rumors are running rampant about a possible indictment as to
the mar A Lago documents case. You know, can you
explain that to me, especially in light of Joe Biden
and all the varying places that he had documents.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah, no, he had. It is such a double standard.
You talk about it every day, Sean. You and I
have been talking about this for years. The unequal application
of justice just has to stop. We have to have
a different president. I totally disagree with James. The number
one argument for electing Donald Trump or somebody you know
(04:58):
on the Republican side of the eye for president is
that James Cobe cannot afford to allow a Republican in
there to have a Republican attorney general. He's scared to
death of that, you know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
The thing is is that if you go back and
you were a part of our coverage, a lot of
our coverage came to the twenty sixteen election and lying
to fize the courts, and you know who got held
accountable in those instances? Can you name anybody? Because really,
nobody got held accountable.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
No, we had over a thousand pages of documentation from
the Inspector General, you have the Durham Report, you have
the Muller Report, which really also adds to that as well.
Nobody held accountable. Even the person that would forged documents
as an FBI attorney didn't even lose his law license
for goodness sake. So the lawlessness continues and nobody is
(05:51):
held accountable, nobody is fired, nobody loses their security coins.
The fifty one people that came up with his bogus
letter to try to debunk you know, the Hunter Biden laptop.
Why do they still have security clearances? That is so
just offensive and I'm tired of talk about it. I
want to actually have some changes done. But you're gonna
(06:13):
have that change in Senate. You're going to have to
change the White House. You're going to have to defund
these people. You have to reorganize the thing top to bottom,
and you're going to have to have some somebody with
some serious, you know, gravitas to get in there and
actually do it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, let me ask you, because you know Michael Horowitz.
Let me ask you about Michael Horowitz. I mean, you know,
he came out with a stinging report and it had
referrals in the report, but.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Yet nothing happens.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean in your book you go into great specificity,
in detail about monies and slush funds and you know,
partisan priorities, how they're funded. I mean, and I want
to get into that in a second here, but it
seems like the people that have most protected are the
people with the highest levels of power, and there's no
accountability for these people.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
I write about in The Puppeteers, this new book that
I just are literally is coming out today follow the money,
follow the people. But in addition to that, I got
to tell you part of that accountability is the courts.
And you and I have talked about this before, Sean.
When can you ever go to a light to the court.
Where's John Roberts on this? I'm sorry, but the Chief
(07:21):
Justice of the United States of America is in charge
of the piz of court. How can they get lied
to with a forged document in their exactly zero consequences.
I've never understood that Michael Horowitz is the Inspector General,
has made dozens of criminal referral. One of the things
people need to know about. The Inspector General is not
(07:43):
empowered to prosecute people. The Inspector General is not empowered
to interview or investigate any attorneys within the Department of Justice.
That has to change. If he can't be bumps into
it an attorney, he has to back off. And that
is It's old Rock. It's not true in any other
department agency except the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
So I'm reading your book The Puppeteers, the people that
control the people who control America, and I'm thinking, you
know the depth of the lack of knowledge of the
American people when it comes to you know, the people
behind the scenes that actually pull the power strings. If
you will, you expose a lot of this, and you know,
(08:29):
for example, who are these people pulling the strings, setting
the agendas with all the power, creating the incentives, right
the rules.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Who are they?
Speaker 8 (08:37):
Well, if anybody thinks it's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
or Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, they
are just up in the night. There is an administrative state,
there's a bureaucratic state, but there are trillions of dollars
behind them that actually moved the meter in terms of
(08:58):
like we talk a lot about G and DEEI and
all of these subversive things that they're trying to do
to change the American culture, change the way things are
done in this country. We exposed, for instance, Susan Rice
and how she was charged with changing the way we
do elections. We get into depths of Executive Order fourteen
(09:20):
zero one nine that Joe Biden put out, you know,
March of his first year in office, and how there's
an ongoing lawsuit to try to expose how he's trying
to change and manipulate elections we tear the lid off
the literally hundreds of billions of dollars in slush funds
that Joe Biden and the Democratic machine have at their disposal,
(09:43):
so that no matter what happens in an election, Sean,
you know, we elect new people and we get all excited,
and then we wonder why didn't anything change. It's because
the Democrats have already figured out how to fund and
put their people in place so that no matter who's
in power, they're going to win the next election because
their policies will continue to be implemented. That's what's scary about.
(10:04):
That's why when you read this book you get scared.
But there's also solutions on how to tackle it. But
I feel like Republicans are.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Well explain who these people are so people know.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
So Brian Deese, for instance, he replaced Larry Kudlow in
the Economic Council. Larry Kudlow was there in the Trump
administration to make the economy better and it was working.
Then Joe Biden comes in.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Who does he take?
Speaker 8 (10:26):
He takes somebody to work for Joe Biden, And who
is with Blackrock? He's a climate activist. He's the one
that's actually in behind the scenes, pulling the strings. Susan Rice,
you know, she went from National Security advisor to domestic
policy advisor. Never heard of peep from her. She just
left office in May of in May twenty sixth, but
(10:47):
she was the one that was working on getting all
the departments and agencies and leveraging them so that the
twenty twenty four elections is as baked as they could
possibly make it before we even get to election day.
These are but just to the teachers unions. You know,
Randy Weingarten at the she has at her disposal, is
the head of the teachers union. Three hundred million dollars.
(11:10):
We get into how she with some of her crony
friends from Hunter Biden go out and spend three million
dollars not to better teachers in our schools, but to
give them money to China so that they could get
this personal protective equipment that ended up being bogus. It
was actually counterfeit. But again all ties back through Hunter Biden. Coincidentally,
(11:32):
nobody's ever heard these stories. That's what this book does.
The puppeteers.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Use some chapitz is back with those.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
My fellow Fox News colleague, also author of the book,
out today. It's called the puppeteers, the people who control
the people who control America, Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com,
bookstores across the country. Everybody that I know looks at
the double standard in terms of justice, the double standard
in the way elections are run, et cetera, et cetera,
and they just say, well, why don't Republicans fix their system?
(12:01):
Why don't they get better at doing what the Democrats
are doing? How is it that all these these deep
state states saboteurs, if you will, people that have flaunt
the law. How come they keep getting away with it?
How come they never get there are never any consequences.
But if you're a Republican, you know, you get arrested
for spitting on the sidewalk.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
They control the levers of government. We show the numbers.
We're in many departments and agencies. Ninety five percent of
the government employees to make a political donation go to democrats.
Some agencies that's one hundred percent. Do you think they're
going to start enforcing the laws on the Securities and
Exchange Commission, for instance, on on democrats or Republicans. Do
you think they look at it through a partisan lens?
(12:41):
I mean we we actually go through and show the
flow of money. The Inflation Reduction Act sean three hundred
and seventy plus billion dollars given to John Podesta. Who's
John Podesta. John Podesta was the part of the Cleanton machine.
He was the chief staff, he ran Hillary Clinton's campaign.
(13:02):
He has three hundred and seventy billion dollars at his
disposal to hand out to whom he wants.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
In addition to three, he has three hundred and seventy
billion with a B. How do you know this?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
The B because it was in the Inflation Reduction Act.
They created a climate flush fund that with part of
that act. It's a massive, massive amount of money that
is bigger. You could take a whole host of states.
You don't even come close to that money. And I'm
telling you when you look at the state treasurers, for instance,
(13:34):
the chief financial officers for these states, Democrat control over
one trillion dollars in assets. And what do they do?
Then they go to your local company Blackrock. For instance,
of the S and P five hundred, ninety seven point
five percent of the S and P five hundred companies
are owned by at least if Blackrock owns at least
(13:56):
five percent of them. And this is how they manipulate
boards and exon and all these people. And suddenly you
wake up and say, why is my company doing this?
Why are they doing all this climate change? Why are
they doing all this the genda? It's because they're using
your the people listening to the show, your retirement funds
are being used by them to manipulate these companies to
(14:18):
do things that you would never do. It doesn't maximize
your return on your investment or your retirement, but it
does move the democratic machine forward, and then they leverage
them to go win an election.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The book, by the way, is called The Puppeteers, The
People That Control the People who Control America. It's on
Amazon dot com, It's up on Hannity dot com now
and bookstores all across the country. Jason Schafitz, Wow, it's
an eye opening book. You now working, I know with
Peter Sweitzer and Eric Eggers and the great people over
at the Government Accountability Institute, which I think is great,
(14:52):
and the research is just unbelievable. And we've only touched
the surface here. We appreciate you being with us. Hope
people get to copy the puppet tiers, the people who
control the people who control America. Anyway, Thank you, sir,
We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Check out the show twenty four to seven, download it
to your iPod, be Handity Insider at Hannity dot com.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Hi twenty five to the top of the hour eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean if you want to be
a part of the program. Now, when a service member
or first responder dies or is catastrophically injured in the
line of duty, who's there for them and their families
that are left behind? Who's helping our homeless vets and
our nation to never forget? Nine to eleven, two thousand
and one. Well, that's where the Tunnel to the Towers
(15:41):
Foundation comes in now. The Foundations in the Line of
Duty programs are comprised of gold Star, Fallen first Responder,
Smart Home, and Veteran Homelessness programs, all of which are
dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families. The
Foundations Never Forget programs engage people of nine eleven remembrances
(16:01):
all across the country. They have over eighty runs, walks
climbs a year, dozens of golf outings, dozens of barbecues,
and the Tunnel to Towers nine to eleven Institute. They're
educating kids from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Why so that
this country keeps its promise to never forget? Or the
ninety five cents out of every dollar you donate to
(16:23):
the Tunnel to Towers Foundation goes directly to programs never
forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. Anyway, they're asking
all of us join Team Hannity and pledging eleven bucks
a month. That's the only way they survive. Go to
their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter
T dot org. The letter T the number two, the
(16:43):
letter T dot org to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All right, let's uh let me play you know Tim Scott,
as I mentioned earlier today, let me mention it again.
He's on the View today and remember what Let's go
back in time the View when he decided to get
into this presidential race. They had a lot to say
(17:07):
about Tim Scott and this is what they.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Said, Well, isn't he professor positive? Unlike Trump? Everything's bad
this Doom's day. He's more in the reagan Esque Morning
in America. Things are fabulous, and he's also hedging his bets.
He doesn't really go out and say he's not pro
choice exactly, although he did say when he's saying that
he would vote to anything they put on this table
(17:30):
of Republicans. So he is not pro choice. And he's
one of these guys who, you know, he's like Clarence Thomas.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps
rather than to me, understanding the systemic racism that African
Americans face in this country another minorities.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
He doesn't get it. Neither does Clarence, and that's why
they're Republicans.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, So Tim Scott wanted to go on The View
today and he's answering questions like, for example, So Houston's
question about systemic racism. You know, there were a ton
of interruptions, but he handled it really well. He talks
about all the progress this country has made in terms
of African Americans, Hispanic Americans at one moment. Is very interesting.
(18:14):
This is the second time now this has happened in
recent weeks. The last time I think it was Governor Sanunu,
I'm not sure, but Republicans don't want to go on
that show because they get booed all the time. What's
the point, Gee, let me go on the view and
see if I can get shouted over by joylist behar
and booed by the audience. But what Pee Goldberg stepped
in and said, no, we're going to listen to Tim Scott. Listen,
(18:35):
what is your definition of systemic racism?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Let me answer the question that you've answered as it
or does it even exist in your mind? Let me
answer the question this way.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
One of the things I think about, and one of
the reasons why I'm on the show is because of
the comments that were made frankly on this show that
the only way for a young African American kid to
be successful in this country is to be the exception
and not the role. That is a dangerous, offensive, disgusting
message this into our young people today, that the only
way to succeed is by being the exception. I will
(19:06):
tell you that if my life is the exception, I
can't imagine it is.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
But it's not. Actually here's here's fourteen years. Yes.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
So the fact of the matter is we've had an
African American president, African American Vice president, We've had two
African Americans to be Secretaries of the state. In my
home city, the police chief is an African American who's
now running for mayor. The head of the highway Patrol
for South client is the African Americans.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
In nineteen seventy.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Five, there is about fifteen percent of employment in the
African American community. For the first time in the history
of the country, it's under five percent homelessness.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Tholks in our community asked the question.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
I know that I've watched you on the show that
you like people to be deferential and respectful, So I'm
going to do the same things.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So here's what I'm going to suggest.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
I'm going to suggest the fact of the matter is
that progress in America is palpable.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
It could be measured in generations.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Finish, do you think Disney's radical left?
Speaker 11 (19:59):
I think Disney and Ronnie been in the combat zone
for a number of months over what I thought was
the right issue as it relates to our young kids
and what they're being indoctrinated with. I thought he started
off on the right foot on that issue.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
No, no, no, no, not he I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Do not boom.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
This is the view we accept we don't have to
believe everything people say.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
But you cannot boo people here. Please, you cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Please continue.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I have great appearance. I saw the whole thing because
I knew it was coming and I was alerted to it.
But I mean it was He's on TV tonight. We'll
get his reaction all of this. All right, let's get
to our phones. Gary and Alabama. What's up, Gary? How
are you glad you called sir Sean?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sean doing great? Longtime listener from your early days in
Atlanta nineteen nineties, early nineties. Hey, look, I'm what's.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The difference between Hannity in the early nineties and Hannity now?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
No difference. You're still very conservative, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I really, you know what, that's the best comp you
give me. I don't change, you know, based on the tides.
Once you find principles that work, and once you have
once you know they work, you have confidence in espousing them.
You know, there is all these people constantly changing. Oh,
I'm going to be a liberal today. I think I'll
do better if I turn a libertarian tomorrow. You know what,
(21:21):
I don't know. To me, that's not being real if
you really believe in something, it's those beliefs stick with
you unless you're proven false. And conservatism always works. But
I digress.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Go ahead, yes, And I just let you know I'm
not an independent or modern I'm very strong conservative. But
you may remembered eleventh Commandment about Ronald Reagan and said,
dal shall not speak ill of another Republican. And in
your town hall meeting, you asked a very good question
of President Trump. And you know, I'm not against him.
I just wanted him to answer the question a little
more elaborate, but just be a little more elaborated and
(21:54):
his answer more specific to it, because I think he
took it as more against the Democrats and his fellow Republicans,
because I feel like, you know, he was, He's still
doing the name calling. He's still kind of not toning
down that rhetoric, which I think that's where a lot
of voters still are just wish you'd be more presidential,
more like Ronald Reagan in the sense that what I mean,
(22:16):
you're if you're heading the polls, why do you have
to worry about that? And I just didn't feel like
he got to.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, let me shed some light on it because I
have to combine the last two interviews to give you
the full answer. Maybe you didn't see my sit down
that I had with him at mar Lago that was
the previous interview. In that interview, I asked a very
simple question. I said, I thought you and Ron DeSantis
were friends.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That was the entire question, and he gave a pretty
lengthy answer about how he felt that if it weren't
for his endorsement, support rallies, et cetera. And I think
there's some truth to it. I think that, you know,
if Trump didn't really go to bat for Ron and
Rick Scott, you know, at the end of that race
in twenty eighteen, I'm not sure either one of them
would have crossed the finish line. I mean, you know,
(23:00):
Rick Scott won by like ten thousand votes. Ron Desantas,
I think won by a little over thirty thousand votes.
And I'm not saying that Trump is fully responsible, but
he played a big part in helping both of them,
and so he kind of used it as disloyalty. Now,
in Ron's defense, I think you could say, Okay, Trump
supported the.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Right guy and that he did a great job.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Why wouldn't you celebrate that, you fix that you picked
the right guy and you were ahead of the curve.
And you know, I think the thinking is, oh, okay,
I'm glad I can help you become governor, so you
can now run against me. I should have gone to
get with the other guy who had no intentions to
run against me. So that's where that's where this stems from,
at least on Trump's side.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Does that make.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Sense, Yes, sir, I think what happens if I've read
an article about it, it's more of a keeping a
moniker on like Pocahontas or some other Democratic candidate. But
the Republicans I wish he'd just stay off of. But
it's because of sound bites in the media. You're trying
to get a quick SoundBite and then that sticks with
the voters. But I really wish he'd be more like
Ronald Reagan and stout shall not speak ill Republican that way.
(24:01):
I think he's more presidential and he'll get more voters
and toning down that rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I was asking, you know, you know, how does this
help you? It might help him with it. It does
help him with his base. I mean, if you look
at some of his base, you know, just just I
don't spend any time online, but I get enough feedback
from from sweet Baby James and Linda and others to
know that, you know, hardcore maga people are angry at
(24:27):
Ron the way the president is and and I get it.
But at the end of the day, you know, look,
as I've said so many times, it's eventually if a
primary gets close, and let me tell you what's going
to happen. It's going to be political warfare. It's going
to be a blood sport. That's why they call it
a blood sport. And it's going to get ugly. It
always does. But we're kind of starting out in an
(24:50):
area I wish we weren't starting there and we were
more united focused on you know, who's ruining the country here.
It's the Democratic Party, it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden doesn't
know what day of the week it is. So I
don't disagree with you, But do I wish they got
along at this point?
Speaker 6 (25:06):
Sure, I absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
If it gets close down the road and they're they're
fighting for their survival and for the nomination, I mean,
you know, at that point, I understand the gloves come off.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
That's just the nature of politics. That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yes, sir, I think you're right, And I think
the coin phrase was actually came from a guy who
who's the state chairman of California when gun Reagan was president,
Reagan was running for governor. It was Gaylord Parkinson nineteen
in the nineteen sixties, and he did it for that purpose,
for unity. He didn't want to fellow Republicans buying each
(25:40):
other when they were trying to fight the Democrats.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Look, I mean you mean the Eleventh Commandment. Look, I
ideally that's the situation. The reality is what the reality is,
and we can't change that part anyway. I do appreciate
you called Gary, Alabama. What part of Alabama are you in?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
All right?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm in Barbieham, Okay, nice area.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I love it down there. I've been to the Birmingham
and Zoom many times. Let's see Gina is in Mississippi. Hey, Gina,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
Hi? God Sean, what a pleasure to get to talk
speak with you.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
The pleasure is all mine and I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Well, I totally agree with everything the last caller said,
and that is also my concern. I love Donald J. Trump.
I have been an avid supporter of his since day one.
I got into politics about twenty years ago when I
started listening to the magnificent Rush Limbaugh and he turned
(26:38):
me onto politics, and I am I worked it very closely,
and I am very upset because I am feeling defeated.
And I know you don't want to hear me say that,
but you know, I'll watch. I start watching every the
(26:58):
political shows in the morning. I watch a show called
Washington Journal where everybody calls in.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
The show itself is unfair.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Because they take more Democrat credit calls, and they do
Republicans their bias, but they claim to be neutral, but
they're not. And so many ways are spread about all
the Republicans and the MAGA people on that show. It's unbelievable.
But anyway, I am very concerned with Donald Trump. I
(27:33):
do believe he is going off the train track when
he bashes Lawn into Santis with you know, a calling
his just even in his name, calling him the sanctus. Uh.
That's wrong, and he is turning off a lot of
his supporters by doing that. Now, I do believe with
all my heart he loves America and he is the
(27:56):
one who is can turn it around. But I also
believe what Rush Wimball said that the only person that
can bring Donald Trump down is Donald Trump himself. So
I don't know what to do because I think what
I think is that they should hook up, and I
(28:16):
think De Santis should run as a VP. And you know,
and that's that. I am very frustrated with all the Republicans,
the Rhinos. You know, it doesn't make sense. This is
sort of like a war, a political war, and if
our side, if the Republicans do not stick together, then
(28:38):
we're going to lose again. I mean, we have so many,
so many things against us, like the media. The media
is obviously on the Democrat side, and I mean most
of the media is owned by these big corporations who
lean left. So we don't have much of a chance
(29:00):
if we don't stick together.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Well, I just gave the same answer to the to
the last caller, so I'm not going to repeat myself.
I am getting a lot of calls on this very topic.
I get it, I understand it. You know, Look, there's
going to be a process. Let's see how the process,
you know, works itself out. I mean, why do you think.
I mean, Mike Pence filed his papers today, so he's in.
(29:24):
And it looks like Chris Christie's getting in this week.
All right, big deal. Chris Christie's from all I can see,
is only running to bludgeon Trump. That's the only reason
he's showing that he really wants to get in this race.
And he's entitled to do that. He's entitled to have
his point of view. But I don't think he's going anywhere,
and I don't even think he's trying to go anywhere.
That to me is a waste of time. I mean,
(29:45):
look at somebody like Ramaswami. Do I think he's gonna
win the nomination. No, But I've been willing to give
him aritime. He's pretty smart. I'm pretty impressed with him.
Nice guy, and you know what, I like his fighting spirit.
I like Tim Scott's fighting spirit. Nikki Helly, you know what,
she deserves to be in this race if she wants
to be in it, and the same with anyone else
(30:06):
that feels like jumping in.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
And you know, I kind of agree with rush too.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It's the only one that I see that can beat
Donald Trump is Donald Trump. Now, I know the deep State.
I mean, there's been rumors running rampant all week about
at some point this week Donald Trump is going to
be indicted by the Special Counsel.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Do I know if any of that's true. I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
We have reports of not one, but two meetings with
the Department of Justice and Trump lawyers, and I think
he's got enough enemies in terms of the medium mob
that hate him, and the deep state bureaucrats and the
Democratic Party that you know, want to destroy this man
at any cost and even compromising our entire justice system
(30:47):
to go after one person. Anyway, eight hundred nine four one,
