Guy with his American flagshirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know. Yeah, Well he's fun.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's fun to have them at work.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
He's helping out today. So there's a cabinet meeting. It's
been going on. Is it over yet? I think it's over.
It's a long.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Cast, seventeen hours and thirty three second.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's very You remember Joe Biden would not have any
cabinet meetings, and it went on for a year or two.
There were no cabinet meetings, and at one point they
had to call one and I said this at the time,
people didn't believe me. But he did not recognize Anthony Blink.
And Lincoln said, when he walked into Biden clearly didn't
(02:21):
know who he was. Lloyd Austin, he sort of recognized,
but he didn't know what he was. He said, the guy,
the the army guy, Secretary of Defense. He didn't recognize him.
And then remember they tried one last cabinet meeting and
Joe was unable to even sit in the president's seat
(02:42):
at the head of the table. So remember Jill Biden,
doctor Joe Biden sat at the seat there and basically
ran the cabinet. And it wasn't a real cabinet meeting.
It was just take a couple of pictures. They were
there for ten minutes, nothing was really said. But when
Trump does it, and nobody, I don't think any president
did this, for he allows the cameras to come in,
(03:02):
not the whole meeting because some of the stuff's top
secret and classified, but a good hour or two he'll
do it right in front of the nation, which is great.
So he talks about a lot of stuff. Texas, the horrible,
horrible situation in Texas. Now let me just explain how
this works. There's a lot of people are upset. The
media is out and out lying about Trump cutting the
(03:24):
National Weather Service, and that cause the problem. None of
this is true. None of this is true. In fact,
not only did the cuts not even take place there
but for this particular past week, but leading up to it,
they had double triple the staff they needed on the
National Weather Service. But here's how it works, and this
has been the pattern for decades. If there's a terrible
(03:45):
disaster and things go wrong, if it's a democratic president,
the media zooms in on the locals, the mayor and
the governor. They go after them for screwing up the
rescue of the evacuation. If it's a Republican president, they
go after the White House. And you remember Katrina happened
in New Orleans. They had nothing to do with George
Bush Katrina, and they had the worst mayor and the
(04:08):
worst governor New Orleans, Louisiana, and they were told to
evacuate New Orleans. They knew what was coming, they were
told to evacuate. Amtrak offered all their trains for the evacuation.
The bus companies had something like ten thousand buses on
the ground ready for evacuation, but Ray Nagan, the mayor,
decided not to evacuate, left everybody there, and of course
(04:32):
disaster ensued. And then they did have a shelter, which
was the Superdome, but it never occurred to him to
have food or water or anything at the super so
it was chaos. So again it was a Republican presidence.
They never went after Nagan. Bush was attacked day and night.
How dare he look what he did? He had nothing
(04:52):
to do with this. It says right in the FEMA charter.
They don't come in for the first two days. They
come day three. Nothing to do with the federal government.
The situation in Texas horrible, horrible stuff. But they didn't
properly evacuate. They've had these sort of floods before on
that exact area. They had all the warnings in the
world from the Weather Service. They didn't handle it very well.
(05:14):
But again, because it's a Republican media attack in Trump,
so just get used to that. If it's a Republican president,
it's the White House's fault somehow, not the locals. The
Epstein client list was brought up. Trump had a good point,
a really good point on this they're having a cabinet. Mean,
you got net and Yahoo here for a day of meetings.
(05:36):
You got Iran, you got Israel, you got the flooding
in tech and all the sorts of things. What's the
first question the media asked about Epstein? Listen to Trump your.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Memo and Melisia James reach seemed for the less some
leadering mysteries of One of the biggest ones is whether
he ever worked for an American for foreign intelligence agency.
On the former Laker secretary who was Miami turn alex A.
Leisurely said that he did work for intelligence agency. So
(06:06):
could you resolve whether or not you did? And also
could you see why there was a minute to see
from the jail house seat dominated So.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, sir, but I just send you up so long?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Are you still talking about Jeffrey and Epstein? This guy's
been talked about for years. You're asking, we have Texas,
we have this, we have all of the things, and
are people still talking about this guy? This creep that
is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time and
do you feel like answered?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
I don't mind answering.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on
Epstein at a time like this where we're having some
of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened
in Texas, it just seems like a desecration.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It kind of has a point there. It's like, in
the middle of the flooding of this that were you
asking about p Diddy in the trial makes no sense
at all Epstein. First of all, I guarantee you there's
no client list a guy. There were a lot of Epstein's,
most of them very nice, legitimate guys. They were fixers
(07:11):
all the billionaires, and everybody would knew them. And if
you needed anything, they could get it for you. If
you needed to get your kid into Harvard in one day,
they could do it. They could fix things for you.
Epstein took that to disgusting levels. If you needed you
fill in the blanks, he would do anything you needed.
And he was a slimy guy. I didn't really know him,
(07:32):
but I would talk to him sometimes, and he looks
kind of handsome right in the picture, looks like a
wealthy sort of handsome guy. But when he talked to
you was how were you? You had a voice like that,
And yeah, he was from Brooklyn or wherever he was from,
slimy kind of a guy. And I guarantee you there
was no list. And if you're doing stuff like that,
you don't keep a list. Why would you keep a
(07:54):
client list. I mean, you don't keep a list. So
and so three fourteen year old girls. You don't keep
a list like that. He did have a date book,
a rolodex, and it was Remember the case was at
the US Attorney's office. They released all that and the
rolodecks had a million names in it. But I know
a lot of people that were in that rolodex and
they didn't really know the guy. I mean a couple
(08:16):
of women I know he just the society types. He
had met them somehow got their number, but they didn't
know him. So now the minute on the videotape that's missing,
do we have her explain? Now one minute is missing
on the video. Everybody thinks he was killed. I kind
of think he was killed in jail because a lot
of the video vanished. A lot of the guards suddenly disappeared,
(08:39):
And there have been incidents in that prison that exact
prison in the past. There was one time where a
couple of guards, they were corrupt. I think they're still
in prison now. They got arrested, but they got one
of the videos, a surveillance video, and a minute is missing.
And now MSNBC here for you, MSNBC views, let me
just straighten the snap for you. You get liked all
(09:00):
the time. I was watching last night just for the
hell of it. There's no list. Why Pam BONDI said
there is a list. She said, I have the list.
It's on my desk. Well, she didn't exactly say that.
They asked her on some show about a list, and
she said, well, it's all on my desk. I'm going
to look. She meant the file is on my desk.
I haven't looked at it yet, but here's her explaining it.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
In February, I did an interview on Fox and it's
been getting a lot of attention because I said, I
was asked a question about the client list, and my
response was it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed,
meaning the file along with the JFK MLK files as well.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's what I meant by that.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Also, to the tens of thousands of video they turned
out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting. Jeffrey
Epstein child porn is what they were never going to
be released, never going to see the lighted day to
him being an agent. I have no knowledge about that.
We can get back to you on that. And the
minute missing from the video. We released the video showing
(10:07):
definitively the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior
to it was showing he committed suicide. And what was
on that there was a minute that was off the counter.
And what we learned from euro of Prisons was every year,
every night they redo that video as old from like
(10:27):
nineteen ninety nine, So every night the video is reset
and every night should have the same minute missing.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So we're looking for.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
That video to release that as well, showing that a
minute is missing every night.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And that's it on Epstein. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Wait a minute. You have to reset the video once
a day, a minute is missing. We do this on
the radio every radio station. We record everything twenty four
hours a day. It's called the logger tape. I don't
I've never heard of us anything. We have to reset
it all the time, but I've never heard of it
being off for a minute. When we said it, I
(11:03):
think it's twenty twenty five, but Remember you're talking about
the government. You're talking about a government run prison. They
might have equipment from nineteen seventy eight. That takes a
minute to reset. Now, one other thing about Epstein, if
anything's covered up, it would be because all the people
(11:23):
on that list of friends or whatever would be Upper
east Side, Palm Beach guys, all Trump friends, donors, whatever.
He's trying to help them. I actually I know a
few of them. I know a couple of people would
be on that list if it existed, and they've been
in panic for a while. But the other thing you
have to remember with Epstein, it wasn't just young girls.
Epstein like these young girls, and maybe some of those
(11:44):
guys did too, But for a lot of them, it
was whatever you wanted. Bill Clinton liked forty year old floozies,
it was that Bill Gates like mousey, librarian, older women,
whatever you wanted. That was one of his talents. He
would meet you and in a minute and a half
he would know exactly what you wanted and he'd get
it for you. So now I'm getting this look from
Linda that's she's got the Ben Franklin glasses on, like
(12:09):
Chuck Schumer. Very studious. Okay, what what you're going to correct?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know that I would correct you.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I would just I would ask you to be tread
lightly in the guarantees because I don't believe that this
story warrants guarantees. I believe that there will be information,
revelations that were overlooked, perhaps in another folder that suddenly appears.
I'm not sure if it's with Jimmy Hoff's body or not,
(12:38):
but it definitely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No, I'm not saying there isn't stuff. I'm just saying
he doesn't have a list.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I think that the word list is being overused and
being completely and totally misconstrued. There is some document, some file,
some USB, some something somewhere. Whether it's hidden on the
dark web, whether it's on a thumb drive, I don't
really give a ripe. There's something that exists somewhere that
(13:04):
contains information. And I think that's what the American public
was expecting from the people that they consider to be there,
you know, right leaning, we voted for this, not that,
and they feel like they're getting that.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
But so you were a hit man and you killed
all these people. There's no list. You don't have a
list of everybody to kill. Nobody keeps records like that
when they do.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
No question, it's not like it's going to be, you know,
filed under people I've killed people. I'm waiting to till
next week's you know, Tally, it's not absolutely completely agree
with you, but you know, it's a little bit of semantics,
you know. And while I agree with President Trump that
the timing of having this conversation is uncomfortable, given you know,
the strikes on Iran and the terrible, terrible tragedy at
(13:48):
can't Mystic and what's happening with the Guadalupe River. Sure, absolutely,
but I think hurting small children is.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Also a pretty big deal. Absolutely, where I sort of
part ways with the President.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think what he's saying, though, really you're right, but
I think he's saying it's not a question to be
asked in the middle of a cabinet meeting with all
these people here discussing important issues.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yes, I know, because all the people in that meeting
had something to do with the uncovering of said information,
because there were several agencies involved.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All right, when did you start wearing those glasses? She
looks very studious with those guys.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I wore them just for you because I knew it
would get on your nerves. I was like, I'm going
to go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're very, very nice. She looks like some sort of
intellectual profession. I'm an intellectuals. Come on, I just talk
like this like some of us, you know from Brooklyn.
Even Linam's laughing. Look at them. We got a lot
coming up, with a lot of great guests ahead and
lots to talk about. Mark Simone, Hey, follow me on Instagram.
It's Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. And don't forget Hannity
(14:54):
dot com. And we'll take some calls a little later.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Hey, it's Mark Simone
own here for Sean Hannity. Ken Paxton, he's the Attorney
General state of Texas, doing a great job. Also running
for Senate and he'd be a great senator. He can
help him out. Go to Kenpaxton dot com. Ken Paxton,
mister Attorney General. How you doing.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
I'm doing all right. Obviously, a terrible tragedy in Texas
and one that no one could have predicted or seen coming.
But it was a pretty sad with the July for us.
Not our typical celebration.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, is this true? You right about this? In the
middle of all this tragedy, there's scammers calling the families.
Is that true?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Yeah, you know, it's it's hard to believe, but in
every whether we have a hurricane or any type of
tragedy of that natural disaster, it seems like there's always
people willing to do some very evil and unethical things.
And yet family members have been called and basically called
that they could help find their kids if they paid
(15:57):
a fee. So that's certainly a story that's out there
that we're tracking down.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Wow, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And give us the latest details though, how many are
still missing and what's happening.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
You know, it's hard to keep track of it changes
every every every hour, but there's definitely still still kids missing,
still people missing. We've had over one hundred people determined
to be deceased in I think six or seven different counties,
mostly in Kerr County and around the Kerrville area. There's
a lot of people out looking for these people. It's
(16:32):
not very safe conditions, as you can imagine. There's a
lot of debris and there's also, you know, frankly, a
lot of snakes and things to deal with. So we've
actually had so many people volunteering, they've had to turn
down volunteers just because partly safety concerns and also just
the fact that there's there's a lot. We have so
many people involved in this effort.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Wow, and this is an area of this particular geography.
You've had flooding problems there before.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Correct, Yeah, I don't remember anything like this. This is
a you know, one of those ones and a hundred
year deal where it's just the right amount of water
coming in very fast after you know, a day or
two of a significant rain created it, you know, a
wall of water that was dramatically different than what anybody
normally expects. Because that camp's been around since nineteen twenty six,
(17:21):
as far as I know, there's never been anything at
that camp like this.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So apparently I'm not a meteorologist, but apparently with something
to do with high pressure systems on both sides of
the rain that held it in place, and the intense
downfall was just held there for way too long and
it just overwhelmed the ground and flooding started. But that
you can't prevent, obviously, But what could have been done
and evacuate I mean, I don't really know.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
I think it came so quick and so unexpected. I mean, yeah,
we get flooding, but not usually it's tidally. This is
like a wall of water some said thirty feet high.
So it's like it's like almost like a tsunami in
a river. And if you've ever seen the after effects
of this, I've seen this before in Wimberley, Texas. Has
happened eight or nine years ago somewhere that range where
(18:12):
it looks literally like a tornado wiped out everything along
the river, including houses that are there's all this plus
is like just the foundation. So I mean, it's just
these these occur. They don't happen very often, but if
you're along a river, it is a possibility that that
that that could happen at some point in your life.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, luckily in Texas you have great, great officials yourself.
You got the governor Abbott Ken Paxson is the attorney
general for the state of Texas, and you're running for Senate.
How's that going?
Speaker 7 (18:42):
You know?
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Really well, I announced April eighth. Our fundraising is, you know, Gonwell,
obviously incumbents have a huge advantage on the fundraising side.
And they purposely designed it that way. But we are
our polling is in the mid twenties ahead of them
from the beginning. So I think people, you know, he's
running for a fifth term. No one's ever run for
as a term in Texas. John Tower, not k b O, Theheads,
(19:05):
not pro Graham, not LBJ, not even Sam Beaston served
five terms. So I think people are ready for a
change and ready for someone that will support the policies
of Trump. And by the way, he is now suddenly
supporting those as a knowing that I'm running, there's been
a conversion. But before that, you know he is He
was not a friend of the president, was not supporting
(19:25):
the president in his last election or in his first election,
and has generally been opposed of building a border wall
and more interested in potential insinuating he be interested in
amnesty and obviously a friend of Biden as it relates
to the Second Amendment and helping Joe Biden pass restrictions
on the Second Amendment. So those are not favorable positions
(19:46):
to Texas voters, particularly primary voters, and I think we're
ready for a change.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, you know the problem with him, and people have
talked about this for years. There's no way to get
it done. But it's kind of an example of why
you need term limits. Nobody should be there for twenty
five years.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I agree, and I think even some of his own
sports I know this that I've talked to some of
his own supporters and they say, we're supporting him. We've
known him for a long time. He's been there a
long time. But no one should run for five terms
for USA, thirty years in the Senate and just generally
being an office since I was in college and I'm
sixty two. That's a long time to be in public office.
And you know what, go do something else, go sometime
(20:24):
with your family, go do something in the private sector.
You've done your service and it's time to move on.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So I was at this part of them. Chuck Schumer
is there, and these older guys were telling me he
was really something in his first time. I said, he was, Oh, yeah,
he was young, dynamic. They were to make a difference.
Now he's been there too many years, twenty five years later,
you're a tired, old fossil career politician. It's just but
how do you get term limits? They would have to
(20:52):
pass it in the Senate. They're not going to pass it,
So how do you get it?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I don't know. You know, I know in Texas we
have a citizen legs, so they don't make very much money,
so there's a there's an incentive to come serve for
a while and leave.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
I mean, I think the challenge is, you know, I
don't know how you get that passed and in the
US Senate when they all want to stay. But I
think we definitely needed at that level.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, the founding fathers, that was their original thinking that
citizens would come serve for a few years and then
go back and then we always wanted to get the
great talent from the private sector, the great CEOs to
come serve. But after what they did to Trump, I
don't think any private sector guys are looking to try
that and go through this.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I mean would you would you tell them, Uh, it's
what you got to fight the battle, just do it.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Yeah. I think it's you know, I've been through the
same type of treatment as Trump, and it is it
is challenging when the federal government, particularly but even some
local law enforcement are weaponized for political reasons as opposed
to you know, criminal justice reasons and we saw how
h lighted with President Trump. We've seen it with other people,
and hopefully Pam Bondi and Cash Betel are getting rid
(22:07):
of some of the people that were committing some of
the I would call the atrocities in the Palm of
Justice and the FPI.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, well, Attorney General Ken Paxton, great, we'd love
to see you win the Senate race. And it's Ken
Paxton dot com. What can people do to help? What
do you want him to do? Well?
Speaker 8 (22:24):
We need help really with fundraising, just because the incombments
have such an advantage and they put limits on how
much you can raise, so we need a lot of
people contributing. They can also follow in the act. Kim
Paxton TX.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
All right, we'll go to Ken Paxton dot com. We'll
keep up the great work. We're all praying for Texas
and let's hope this ends soon, this tragedy with us
flooding and all that. But we're all praying for you.
Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
We appreciate your prayers.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thank you, all right, take care. Mark Simone here for
Sean Hannity. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
Let's see if I can remember it. Wait, a minute
eight nine four one Sean.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Wow, that memory of.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Eight hundred nine four one Sean, Uh No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
This is when I play the Jeopardy music, when you
start doing stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just so you know, that's a pretty good memory. I
can't remember my own phone number.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Listen, I can't remember anybody's phone nuber anymore. Now, what
are the numbers that are associated with that?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, nobody dies. Don't play that music.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I hate can give you a cheat sheet.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Whenever I hear that music, I just pictured those three
nerds behind the podium.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was like my favorite show.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It still is one of my greatest. Do you know

I'm like his biggest fan. You have to, yeah, because

You did, Yeah, you're actually kind of nerdy. You probably
did good.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No, he won.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I beat him on one question, but was morton. Yeah,
but I also realized it's not just knowledge, it's the
buzzer hand.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
He could get to the buzzer.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I like, how quick?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Quick reflex is so.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But I hate watching that show.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's just I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Name a river and the euphrates and who the hell
knows all this?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I know it's bananas.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You know, if you don't know, if you know all
these things.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Pretty smart. He's very nerdy. He knows a lot of
useless information.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You were is a river? Just so.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
First of all, you know, if you know all this stuff,
you got to rethink your life. Something is wrong here,

Verizon AT and T T Mobile.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
You are overpaying for wireless period and of sentence, you're
paying for thousands of retail stores that you're never going
to go to. You're paying for unnecessary perks that you'll
never use. But guess what my cell phone provider, pure Talk.
They use the same five G network, the same cell
tower is the only difference. They don't charge you for
any of the garbage. Instead, Pure Talk will give you

exact same service. And guess what, you can keep your
phone and your phone number. The switch is simple, fast,
easy dial pound two to fifty. Say the keywords save now.
You'll save an additional fifty percent off your first month,
(26:12):
and you can be switched over in mere minutes. Pound

my cell phone provider a veteran O company, Puretalk Wireless
by Americans or Americans.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Hey, is Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Let's take
some calls. Let's go to Andrew, who's calling from West Virginia.
How are you doing? Andrew?
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Fine, sir?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
How are you? Let me check? Not bad? Not bad?
Speaker 10 (26:48):
That's good. So like I was, like I was saying earlier,
the f Stein list, I don't want to talk about
I'm tired hearing about.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It while you're on it.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
No, But since the topic was brought up, I was
telling Linda, you are correct. There is not an Excel spreadsheet.
There's not a list of names and dates and times.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
All right, that's it. It's official, Andrew from West Virginia.
There is no list, thank you, anything.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Else but the attorney but the Attorney General.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
I think did not do herself a favor when she
said that there were videos of child porn that were
recovered Mike can.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, but in her defense that we're asking what happened
all the video? I know you're going to release it.
She said, well, it's all child porn. Obviously we're not
going to release that.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Publicly correct and that's a and this is my conspiracy theory.
You can easily cover up for stuff by calling it
child porn, but when you're providing the services you're providing
for somebody like a member of the British royal family,
you are not doing that without having some way to
cover yourself if you get caught and have some type
(27:53):
of trouble. I contend that the child porn that she's
referring to is video and audio of the clients that
were serviced at Epstein's Island, and the other half of
the children in those videos are the clients that's the list.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, that was a lot of people thought that he
would do that to blackmail them. It's possible. Anything's possible,
but it could also be Like a lot of guys.
I'm not looking at anybody in particular, but a lot
of a lot of guys they just download porn, not
child porn, but whatever kind of porn they like. And
if that's what he liked, a lot of guys, believe
it or not, download Don't look at me, I don't
do that, but a lot of guys download this stuff.
(28:35):
I'm editing myself here.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'm not a lot of pausing today, Mark.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm editing out some great jokes.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I think for the audience's purposes, we should let you
know that Mark is single, and he is out, and
he is in the mix.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So yeah, no, I don't like porn, believe it or not,
I never look at it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well, thank you for that clarification for Mark. I'm sure
America is thrilled to know.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
To wipe away usually on that issue.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Stupidest thing in the world. Like I love food, I
love eating, but I wouldn't look at video of food.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I mean, buddy, it's true. I don't know what the
point of porn is.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think to bring it back to a more serious level,
I think I think the I agree that you're serious,
but I think the issue is and and to Andrew's
point is that if there is evidence that people consumed
said product, where children were mistreated, where pedophilia occurred, then
the person who consumed or was portraying the attacker in
(29:37):
that video needs to be arrested. And we need to
know those things are happening, and we don't. So to
say I'm not releasing it to the public is like, yeah,
there's some bad things that happen. But anyways, it's like,
I'm sorry, you're right, but that's the part that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I also understand Trump's point. The p Diddy stuff was disgusting, horrifying, awful,
But it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But it's the same thing, but it.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Doesn't come to the presentidential level. Doesn't need to be
brought up at a cabinet meeting. It doesn't need.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I disagree with you on that it's at a presidential
level because the people that are handling it are in
the president's cabinet and are on the president's level in
the sense that they report to him directly.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
All right, at a press conference. But a cabinet meeting
is for certain things. It's for foreign policies.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Unfortunately, when you go to Caroline love It about these things,
she's going to say, I would have to refer you
to the Department of Justice. I would have to refer
you to the FBI. But in that case, hey, I
got them all on one spot. Let me just knock
it all out at once. I'm with the reporter.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
All right, Well, we'll talk more about this. Hey, Also
we'll get to mom. Donnie the communist wacko nut job
who's running for mayor Tommy Donnie, or I like al
Sharp and calls him Mam Dammy. But we'll get to
that more coming up.

strong task roots or a VPN virtual private network. But
as much as you try to be in control of
how your information is protected, there are lots of places
that also have it, and they may not be as
careful as you are.

Very sweet, nice looking, although I can see you're a

Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's a wild guy, this.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Guy with his American flagshirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know. Yeah, Well he's fun.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's fun to have them at work.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
He's helping out today. So there's a cabinet meeting. It's
been going on. Is it over yet? I think it's over.
It's a long.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Cast, seventeen hours and thirty three second.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's very You remember Joe Biden would not have any
cabinet meetings, and it went on for a year or two.
There were no cabinet meetings, and at one point they
had to call one and I said this at the time,
people didn't believe me. But he did not recognize Anthony Blink.
And Lincoln said, when he walked into Biden clearly didn't
(02:21):
know who he was. Lloyd Austin, he sort of recognized,
but he didn't know what he was. He said, the guy,
the the army guy, Secretary of Defense. He didn't recognize him.
And then remember they tried one last cabinet meeting and
Joe was unable to even sit in the president's seat
(02:42):
at the head of the table. So remember Jill Biden,
doctor Joe Biden sat at the seat there and basically
ran the cabinet. And it wasn't a real cabinet meeting.
It was just take a couple of pictures. They were
there for ten minutes, nothing was really said. But when
Trump does it, and nobody, I don't think any president
did this, for he allows the cameras to come in,
(03:02):
not the whole meeting because some of the stuff's top
secret and classified, but a good hour or two he'll
do it right in front of the nation, which is great.
So he talks about a lot of stuff. Texas, the horrible,
horrible situation in Texas. Now let me just explain how
this works. There's a lot of people are upset. The
media is out and out lying about Trump cutting the
(03:24):
National Weather Service, and that cause the problem. None of
this is true. None of this is true. In fact,
not only did the cuts not even take place there
but for this particular past week, but leading up to it,
they had double triple the staff they needed on the
National Weather Service. But here's how it works, and this
has been the pattern for decades. If there's a terrible
(03:45):
disaster and things go wrong, if it's a democratic president,
the media zooms in on the locals, the mayor and
the governor. They go after them for screwing up the
rescue of the evacuation. If it's a Republican president, they
go after the White House. And you remember Katrina happened
in New Orleans. They had nothing to do with George
Bush Katrina, and they had the worst mayor and the
(04:08):
worst governor New Orleans, Louisiana, and they were told to
evacuate New Orleans. They knew what was coming, they were
told to evacuate. Amtrak offered all their trains for the evacuation.
The bus companies had something like ten thousand buses on
the ground ready for evacuation, but Ray Nagan, the mayor,
decided not to evacuate, left everybody there, and of course
(04:32):
disaster ensued. And then they did have a shelter, which
was the Superdome, but it never occurred to him to
have food or water or anything at the super so
it was chaos. So again it was a Republican presidence.
They never went after Nagan. Bush was attacked day and night.
How dare he look what he did? He had nothing
(04:52):
to do with this. It says right in the FEMA charter.
They don't come in for the first two days. They
come day three. Nothing to do with the federal government.
The situation in Texas horrible, horrible stuff. But they didn't
properly evacuate. They've had these sort of floods before on
that exact area. They had all the warnings in the
world from the Weather Service. They didn't handle it very well.
(05:14):
But again, because it's a Republican media attack in Trump,
so just get used to that. If it's a Republican president,
it's the White House's fault somehow, not the locals. The
Epstein client list was brought up. Trump had a good point,
a really good point on this they're having a cabinet. Mean,
you got net and Yahoo here for a day of meetings.
(05:36):
You got Iran, you got Israel, you got the flooding
in tech and all the sorts of things. What's the
first question the media asked about Epstein? Listen to Trump your.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Memo and Melisia James reach seemed for the less some
leadering mysteries of One of the biggest ones is whether
he ever worked for an American for foreign intelligence agency.
On the former Laker secretary who was Miami turn alex A.
Leisurely said that he did work for intelligence agency. So
(06:06):
could you resolve whether or not you did? And also
could you see why there was a minute to see
from the jail house seat dominated So.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, sir, but I just send you up so long?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Are you still talking about Jeffrey and Epstein? This guy's
been talked about for years. You're asking, we have Texas,
we have this, we have all of the things, and
are people still talking about this guy? This creep that
is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time and
do you feel like answered?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
I don't mind answering.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on
Epstein at a time like this where we're having some
of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened
in Texas, it just seems like a desecration.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It kind of has a point there. It's like, in
the middle of the flooding of this that were you
asking about p Diddy in the trial makes no sense
at all Epstein. First of all, I guarantee you there's
no client list a guy. There were a lot of Epstein's,
most of them very nice, legitimate guys. They were fixers
(07:11):
all the billionaires, and everybody would knew them. And if
you needed anything, they could get it for you. If
you needed to get your kid into Harvard in one day,
they could do it. They could fix things for you.
Epstein took that to disgusting levels. If you needed you
fill in the blanks, he would do anything you needed.
And he was a slimy guy. I didn't really know him,
(07:32):
but I would talk to him sometimes, and he looks
kind of handsome right in the picture, looks like a
wealthy sort of handsome guy. But when he talked to
you was how were you? You had a voice like that,
And yeah, he was from Brooklyn or wherever he was from,
slimy kind of a guy. And I guarantee you there
was no list. And if you're doing stuff like that,
you don't keep a list. Why would you keep a
(07:54):
client list. I mean, you don't keep a list. So
and so three fourteen year old girls. You don't keep
a list like that. He did have a date book,
a rolodex, and it was Remember the case was at
the US Attorney's office. They released all that and the
rolodecks had a million names in it. But I know
a lot of people that were in that rolodex and
they didn't really know the guy. I mean a couple
(08:16):
of women I know he just the society types. He
had met them somehow got their number, but they didn't
know him. So now the minute on the videotape that's missing,
do we have her explain? Now one minute is missing
on the video. Everybody thinks he was killed. I kind
of think he was killed in jail because a lot
of the video vanished. A lot of the guards suddenly disappeared,
(08:39):
And there have been incidents in that prison that exact
prison in the past. There was one time where a
couple of guards, they were corrupt. I think they're still
in prison now. They got arrested, but they got one
of the videos, a surveillance video, and a minute is missing.
And now MSNBC here for you, MSNBC views, let me
just straighten the snap for you. You get liked all
(09:00):
the time. I was watching last night just for the
hell of it. There's no list. Why Pam BONDI said
there is a list. She said, I have the list.
It's on my desk. Well, she didn't exactly say that.
They asked her on some show about a list, and
she said, well, it's all on my desk. I'm going
to look. She meant the file is on my desk.
I haven't looked at it yet, but here's her explaining it.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
In February, I did an interview on Fox and it's
been getting a lot of attention because I said, I
was asked a question about the client list, and my
response was it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed,
meaning the file along with the JFK MLK files as well.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's what I meant by that.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Also, to the tens of thousands of video they turned
out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting. Jeffrey
Epstein child porn is what they were never going to
be released, never going to see the lighted day to
him being an agent. I have no knowledge about that.
We can get back to you on that. And the
minute missing from the video. We released the video showing
(10:07):
definitively the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior
to it was showing he committed suicide. And what was
on that there was a minute that was off the counter.
And what we learned from euro of Prisons was every year,
every night they redo that video as old from like
(10:27):
nineteen ninety nine, So every night the video is reset
and every night should have the same minute missing.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So we're looking for.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
That video to release that as well, showing that a
minute is missing every night.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And that's it on Epstein. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Wait a minute. You have to reset the video once
a day, a minute is missing. We do this on
the radio every radio station. We record everything twenty four
hours a day. It's called the logger tape. I don't
I've never heard of us anything. We have to reset
it all the time, but I've never heard of it
being off for a minute. When we said it, I
(11:03):
think it's twenty twenty five, but Remember you're talking about
the government. You're talking about a government run prison. They
might have equipment from nineteen seventy eight. That takes a
minute to reset. Now, one other thing about Epstein, if
anything's covered up, it would be because all the people
(11:23):
on that list of friends or whatever would be Upper
east Side, Palm Beach guys, all Trump friends, donors, whatever.
He's trying to help them. I actually I know a
few of them. I know a couple of people would
be on that list if it existed, and they've been
in panic for a while. But the other thing you
have to remember with Epstein, it wasn't just young girls.
Epstein like these young girls, and maybe some of those
(11:44):
guys did too, But for a lot of them, it
was whatever you wanted. Bill Clinton liked forty year old floozies,
it was that Bill Gates like mousey, librarian, older women,
whatever you wanted. That was one of his talents. He
would meet you and in a minute and a half
he would know exactly what you wanted and he'd get
it for you. So now I'm getting this look from
Linda that's she's got the Ben Franklin glasses on, like
(12:09):
Chuck Schumer. Very studious. Okay, what what you're going to correct?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know that I would correct you.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I would just I would ask you to be tread
lightly in the guarantees because I don't believe that this
story warrants guarantees. I believe that there will be information,
revelations that were overlooked, perhaps in another folder that suddenly appears.
I'm not sure if it's with Jimmy Hoff's body or not,
(12:38):
but it definitely Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No, I'm not saying there isn't stuff. I'm just saying
he doesn't have a list.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I think that the word list is being overused and
being completely and totally misconstrued. There is some document, some file,
some USB, some something somewhere. Whether it's hidden on the
dark web, whether it's on a thumb drive, I don't
really give a ripe. There's something that exists somewhere that
(13:04):
contains information. And I think that's what the American public
was expecting from the people that they consider to be there,
you know, right leaning, we voted for this, not that,
and they feel like they're getting that.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
But so you were a hit man and you killed
all these people. There's no list. You don't have a
list of everybody to kill. Nobody keeps records like that
when they do.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
No question, it's not like it's going to be, you know,
filed under people I've killed people. I'm waiting to till
next week's you know, Tally, it's not absolutely completely agree
with you, but you know, it's a little bit of semantics,
you know. And while I agree with President Trump that
the timing of having this conversation is uncomfortable, given you know,
the strikes on Iran and the terrible, terrible tragedy at
(13:48):
can't Mystic and what's happening with the Guadalupe River. Sure, absolutely,
but I think hurting small children is.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Also a pretty big deal. Absolutely, where I sort of
part ways with the President.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think what he's saying, though, really you're right, but
I think he's saying it's not a question to be
asked in the middle of a cabinet meeting with all
these people here discussing important issues.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yes, I know, because all the people in that meeting
had something to do with the uncovering of said information,
because there were several agencies involved.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All right, when did you start wearing those glasses? She
looks very studious with those guys.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I wore them just for you because I knew it
would get on your nerves. I was like, I'm going
to go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
They're very, very nice. She looks like some sort of
intellectual profession. I'm an intellectuals. Come on, I just talk
like this like some of us, you know from Brooklyn.
Even Linam's laughing. Look at them. We got a lot
coming up, with a lot of great guests ahead and
lots to talk about. Mark Simone, Hey, follow me on Instagram.
It's Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. And don't forget Hannity
(14:54):
dot com. And we'll take some calls a little later.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Hey, it's Mark Simone
own here for Sean Hannity. Ken Paxton, he's the Attorney
General state of Texas, doing a great job. Also running
for Senate and he'd be a great senator. He can
help him out. Go to Kenpaxton dot com. Ken Paxton,
mister Attorney General. How you doing.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
I'm doing all right. Obviously, a terrible tragedy in Texas
and one that no one could have predicted or seen coming.
But it was a pretty sad with the July for us.
Not our typical celebration.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, is this true? You right about this? In the
middle of all this tragedy, there's scammers calling the families.
Is that true?
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Yeah, you know, it's it's hard to believe, but in
every whether we have a hurricane or any type of
tragedy of that natural disaster, it seems like there's always
people willing to do some very evil and unethical things.
And yet family members have been called and basically called
that they could help find their kids if they paid
(15:57):
a fee. So that's certainly a story that's out there
that we're tracking down.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Wow, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And give us the latest details though, how many are
still missing and what's happening.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
You know, it's hard to keep track of it changes
every every every hour, but there's definitely still still kids missing,
still people missing. We've had over one hundred people determined
to be deceased in I think six or seven different counties,
mostly in Kerr County and around the Kerrville area. There's
a lot of people out looking for these people. It's
(16:32):
not very safe conditions, as you can imagine. There's a
lot of debris and there's also, you know, frankly, a
lot of snakes and things to deal with. So we've
actually had so many people volunteering, they've had to turn
down volunteers just because partly safety concerns and also just
the fact that there's there's a lot. We have so
many people involved in this effort.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Wow, and this is an area of this particular geography.
You've had flooding problems there before.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Correct, Yeah, I don't remember anything like this. This is
a you know, one of those ones and a hundred
year deal where it's just the right amount of water
coming in very fast after you know, a day or
two of a significant rain created it, you know, a
wall of water that was dramatically different than what anybody
normally expects. Because that camp's been around since nineteen twenty six,
(17:21):
as far as I know, there's never been anything at
that camp like this.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So apparently I'm not a meteorologist, but apparently with something
to do with high pressure systems on both sides of
the rain that held it in place, and the intense
downfall was just held there for way too long and
it just overwhelmed the ground and flooding started. But that
you can't prevent, obviously, But what could have been done
and evacuate I mean, I don't really know.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
I think it came so quick and so unexpected. I mean, yeah,
we get flooding, but not usually it's tidally. This is
like a wall of water some said thirty feet high.
So it's like it's like almost like a tsunami in
a river. And if you've ever seen the after effects
of this, I've seen this before in Wimberley, Texas. Has
happened eight or nine years ago somewhere that range where
(18:12):
it looks literally like a tornado wiped out everything along
the river, including houses that are there's all this plus
is like just the foundation. So I mean, it's just
these these occur. They don't happen very often, but if
you're along a river, it is a possibility that that
that that could happen at some point in your life.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, luckily in Texas you have great, great officials yourself.
You got the governor Abbott Ken Paxson is the attorney
general for the state of Texas, and you're running for Senate.
How's that going?
Speaker 7 (18:42):
You know?
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Really well, I announced April eighth. Our fundraising is, you know, Gonwell,
obviously incumbents have a huge advantage on the fundraising side.
And they purposely designed it that way. But we are
our polling is in the mid twenties ahead of them
from the beginning. So I think people, you know, he's
running for a fifth term. No one's ever run for
as a term in Texas. John Tower, not k b O, Theheads,
(19:05):
not pro Graham, not LBJ, not even Sam Beaston served
five terms. So I think people are ready for a
change and ready for someone that will support the policies
of Trump. And by the way, he is now suddenly
supporting those as a knowing that I'm running, there's been
a conversion. But before that, you know he is He
was not a friend of the president, was not supporting
(19:25):
the president in his last election or in his first election,
and has generally been opposed of building a border wall
and more interested in potential insinuating he be interested in
amnesty and obviously a friend of Biden as it relates
to the Second Amendment and helping Joe Biden pass restrictions
on the Second Amendment. So those are not favorable positions
(19:46):
to Texas voters, particularly primary voters, and I think we're
ready for a change.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, you know the problem with him, and people have
talked about this for years. There's no way to get
it done. But it's kind of an example of why
you need term limits. Nobody should be there for twenty
five years.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I agree, and I think even some of his own
sports I know this that I've talked to some of
his own supporters and they say, we're supporting him. We've
known him for a long time. He's been there a
long time. But no one should run for five terms
for USA, thirty years in the Senate and just generally
being an office since I was in college and I'm
sixty two. That's a long time to be in public office.
And you know what, go do something else, go sometime
(20:24):
with your family, go do something in the private sector.
You've done your service and it's time to move on.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So I was at this part of them. Chuck Schumer
is there, and these older guys were telling me he
was really something in his first time. I said, he was, Oh, yeah,
he was young, dynamic. They were to make a difference.
Now he's been there too many years, twenty five years later,
you're a tired, old fossil career politician. It's just but
how do you get term limits? They would have to
(20:52):
pass it in the Senate. They're not going to pass it,
So how do you get it?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
I don't know. You know, I know in Texas we
have a citizen legs, so they don't make very much money,
so there's a there's an incentive to come serve for
a while and leave.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
I mean, I think the challenge is, you know, I
don't know how you get that passed and in the
US Senate when they all want to stay. But I
think we definitely needed at that level.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, the founding fathers, that was their original thinking that
citizens would come serve for a few years and then
go back and then we always wanted to get the
great talent from the private sector, the great CEOs to
come serve. But after what they did to Trump, I
don't think any private sector guys are looking to try
that and go through this.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I mean would you would you tell them, Uh, it's
what you got to fight the battle, just do it.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Yeah. I think it's you know, I've been through the
same type of treatment as Trump, and it is it
is challenging when the federal government, particularly but even some
local law enforcement are weaponized for political reasons as opposed
to you know, criminal justice reasons and we saw how
h lighted with President Trump. We've seen it with other people,
and hopefully Pam Bondi and Cash Betel are getting rid
(22:07):
of some of the people that were committing some of
the I would call the atrocities in the Palm of
Justice and the FPI.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, well, Attorney General Ken Paxton, great, we'd love
to see you win the Senate race. And it's Ken
Paxton dot com. What can people do to help? What
do you want him to do? Well?
Speaker 8 (22:24):
We need help really with fundraising, just because the incombments
have such an advantage and they put limits on how
much you can raise, so we need a lot of
people contributing. They can also follow in the act. Kim
Paxton TX.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
All right, we'll go to Ken Paxton dot com. We'll
keep up the great work. We're all praying for Texas
and let's hope this ends soon, this tragedy with us
flooding and all that. But we're all praying for you.
Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
We appreciate your prayers.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thank you, all right, take care. Mark Simone here for
Sean Hannity. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
Let's see if I can remember it. Wait, a minute
eight nine four one Sean.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Wow, that memory of.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Eight hundred nine four one Sean, Uh No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh here it is.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
This is when I play the Jeopardy music, when you
start doing stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just so you know, that's a pretty good memory. I
can't remember my own phone number.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Listen, I can't remember anybody's phone nuber anymore. Now, what
are the numbers that are associated with that?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, nobody dies. Don't play that music.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I hate can give you a cheat sheet.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Whenever I hear that music, I just pictured those three
nerds behind the podium.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Guy.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was like my favorite show.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It still is one of my greatest. Do you know
my alex tra backstory. Oh it's one of my worst.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
The motel one eh CROs Bro.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Anyways, Yeah, it's like all right, anyways, moving on. But
I met him.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
He came up into the studio and like, you know,
Sean was like, what is wrong with you? I'm like,
I'm like his biggest fan. You have to, yeah, because
my parents watch Jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
You're watching going on. You got these nerdy glasses, these
intellectual glasses. You're in love with al Alextra back something's
going on.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'm a nerd.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I once played against Ken Jennings.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You did, Yeah, you're actually kind of nerdy. You probably
did good.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No, he won.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I beat him on one question, but was morton. Yeah,
but I also realized it's not just knowledge, it's the
buzzer hand.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
He could get to the buzzer.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I like, how quick?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Quick reflex is so.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But I hate watching that show.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's just I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Name a river and the euphrates and who the hell
knows all this?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I know it's bananas.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You know, if you don't know, if you know all
these things.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Pretty smart. He's very nerdy. He knows a lot of
useless information.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
You were is a river? Just so.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
First of all, you know, if you know all this stuff,
you got to rethink your life. Something is wrong here,
go outside and do something. Stop learning all this stuff.
But uh, it's what about Ryan Seacrest? Is it as
good with Ryan Seacrest?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
What Jeopardy?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
No, Ken Jennings, does it now? Ken Jennings, those.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
That's really fortune?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh yeah, I don't watch that.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
That's realful.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
No, Ken Jennings is very good.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
We will Fortunate is fun, but I don't watch that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, that's a that's will Force is a great show
for people not smart enough to watch Jeopardy. That's perfect anyway,
we'll take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred and
nine four one Sewan is the number. Mark simone here
for Sean Hannity.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Each every day, Annity's got something new.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Sean Hannity is on right now.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Verizon AT and T T Mobile.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
You are overpaying for wireless period and of sentence, you're
paying for thousands of retail stores that you're never going
to go to. You're paying for unnecessary perks that you'll
never use. But guess what my cell phone provider, pure Talk.
They use the same five G network, the same cell
tower is the only difference. They don't charge you for
any of the garbage. Instead, Pure Talk will give you
(25:51):
unlimited talk, unlimited text, plenty of data, twenty five bucks
a month. That's real money in your pocket for the
exact same service. And guess what, you can keep your
phone and your phone number. The switch is simple, fast,
easy dial pound two to fifty. Say the keywords save now.
You'll save an additional fifty percent off your first month,
(26:12):
and you can be switched over in mere minutes. Pound
two to fifty keywords save. Now make the switch to
my cell phone provider a veteran O company, Puretalk Wireless
by Americans or Americans.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Hey, is Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Let's take
some calls. Let's go to Andrew, who's calling from West Virginia.
How are you doing? Andrew?
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Fine, sir?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
How are you? Let me check? Not bad? Not bad?
Speaker 10 (26:48):
That's good. So like I was, like I was saying earlier,
the f Stein list, I don't want to talk about
I'm tired hearing about.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It while you're on it.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
No, But since the topic was brought up, I was
telling Linda, you are correct. There is not an Excel spreadsheet.
There's not a list of names and dates and times.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
All right, that's it. It's official, Andrew from West Virginia.
There is no list, thank you, anything.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Else but the attorney but the Attorney General.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
I think did not do herself a favor when she
said that there were videos of child porn that were
recovered Mike can.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, but in her defense that we're asking what happened
all the video? I know you're going to release it.
She said, well, it's all child porn. Obviously we're not
going to release that.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Publicly correct and that's a and this is my conspiracy theory.
You can easily cover up for stuff by calling it
child porn, but when you're providing the services you're providing
for somebody like a member of the British royal family,
you are not doing that without having some way to
cover yourself if you get caught and have some type
(27:53):
of trouble. I contend that the child porn that she's
referring to is video and audio of the clients that
were serviced at Epstein's Island, and the other half of
the children in those videos are the clients that's the list.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, that was a lot of people thought that he
would do that to blackmail them. It's possible. Anything's possible,
but it could also be Like a lot of guys.
I'm not looking at anybody in particular, but a lot
of a lot of guys they just download porn, not
child porn, but whatever kind of porn they like. And
if that's what he liked, a lot of guys, believe
it or not, download Don't look at me, I don't
do that, but a lot of guys download this stuff.
(28:35):
I'm editing myself here.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'm not a lot of pausing today, Mark.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm editing out some great jokes.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I think for the audience's purposes, we should let you
know that Mark is single, and he is out, and
he is in the mix.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So yeah, no, I don't like porn, believe it or not,
I never look at it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well, thank you for that clarification for Mark. I'm sure
America is thrilled to know.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
To wipe away usually on that issue.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Stupidest thing in the world. Like I love food, I
love eating, but I wouldn't look at video of food.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I mean, buddy, it's true. I don't know what the
point of porn is.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think to bring it back to a more serious level,
I think I think the I agree that you're serious,
but I think the issue is and and to Andrew's
point is that if there is evidence that people consumed
said product, where children were mistreated, where pedophilia occurred, then
the person who consumed or was portraying the attacker in
(29:37):
that video needs to be arrested. And we need to
know those things are happening, and we don't. So to
say I'm not releasing it to the public is like, yeah,
there's some bad things that happen. But anyways, it's like,
I'm sorry, you're right, but that's the part that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I also understand Trump's point. The p Diddy stuff was disgusting, horrifying, awful,
But it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
But it's the same thing, but it.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Doesn't come to the presentidential level. Doesn't need to be
brought up at a cabinet meeting. It doesn't need.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I disagree with you on that it's at a presidential
level because the people that are handling it are in
the president's cabinet and are on the president's level in
the sense that they report to him directly.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
All right, at a press conference. But a cabinet meeting
is for certain things. It's for foreign policies.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Unfortunately, when you go to Caroline love It about these things,
she's going to say, I would have to refer you
to the Department of Justice. I would have to refer
you to the FBI. But in that case, hey, I
got them all on one spot. Let me just knock
it all out at once. I'm with the reporter.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
All right, Well, we'll talk more about this. Hey, Also
we'll get to mom. Donnie the communist wacko nut job
who's running for mayor Tommy Donnie, or I like al
Sharp and calls him Mam Dammy. But we'll get to
that more coming up.
Speaker 9 (30:47):

strong task roots or a VPN virtual private network. But
as much as you try to be in control of
how your information is protected, there are lots of places
that also have it, and they may not be as
careful as you are.
