Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload hour. Here's our
Tolfrey telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety four one
Sean if you want to join us. So I've been
to forty nine of the fifty states. The one state
I have not been to which I have great admiration for,
(00:21):
and I mentioned this earlier in the show to New
Gingrich is the state of Alaska. Well, that will come
to an end, assuming I arrived safely. This week, as
President Trump will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska
for a summit in the hopes of bringing about a
piece in Europe, which the President has been trying very
(00:45):
hard to achieve. The President commented on this at his
press conference earlier today and said he's going to tell
Putin he's got to end this war. Here's what he said.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, I'm going in to speak to Vladimir, and I'm
going to be telling him you got end this war.
You got to end it. And he wasn't going to
mess with me. He was this war would have never happened.
You know, we had a discussion about it one time,
and we never had that discussion again.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Would have never happened.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And what he was talking about is in his first
term he said, don't even think about going into Ukraine.
They had already annexed Primea in what twenty fourteen with
Obama and Biden. This entire issue was inherited by President
Trump and he's trying to resolve and untangled yet another
Biden Harris mess. Then the President went on to say
(01:36):
that he's going to call Zelinsky European leaders after the
meeting and try and make a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And here's what he said about that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I'm going to meet with him. We're going to see
what the parameters are, and then going to call up
President Zelinski and the European leaders right after the meeting. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell him what kind of a deal.
I'm not going to make a deal. It's not up
to me to make a deal. I think a deal
should be made for both. I think Russia has to
get back into building their country. It's a massive country.
(02:06):
I think they have eleven time zones. If you can
believe it, it's a massive It's by far from the
standpoint of land it's by far the largest. They have
tremendous potential in Russia to do well. They're not doing well.
Their economy is not doing well right now because it's
been very well disturbed by This doesn't help with the
President of the United States tells their largest or second
(02:27):
largest oil buyer that We're putting a fifty percent tarif
on you if you buy oil from Russia.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That was a big blow.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And then they said, gee, he wasn't so tough. Nobody
else would have done that. And I haven't stopped there.
I mean, look, I was all set to do things
far bigger than that, but I got a call that
they'd like to meet, and I'm going to see what
they want to I'd like to see a cease fire.
I'd like to see the best deal that could be
made for both parties. You know, it takes two to tango, right, all.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Right, So he's going to try his best. Senator Lindsey Graham,
who will join us in a minute, said that Trump's
going to meet Putin from a position of strength. He
said it on Meet the Press this weekend. Here's what
he said.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I have every confidence in the world that the President
is going to go to meet Putin from a position
of strength that he's going to look out for Europe
and Ukrainian needs to end this for honorably. And it's
time to end this for honorably. But how we do
it will be historical, and I'm confident President Trump will
(03:33):
get a good deal for all.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
All Right, joining us now is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham,
Senator Great back here. So the president inherited this problem.
Joe Biden never even picked up the phone and called
Putin and said, why are you amassing troops? Why are
you amassing this military equipment? Never tried for a negotiated
settlement before it even started. Now President Trump is trying
(03:56):
to untangle a mess. Unfortunately, under Biden had evolved into
a proxy war as far as I'm concerned, between the
US and Russia and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
millions billions of dollars even that the United States was
giving Ukraine. Now we're now under Trump, we're selling equipment,
military equipment to Ukraine. Because Putin has been so difficult
(04:20):
to deal with, but he has agreed to this summit.
How do we define success at this point? Because so
to be, I don't see a scenario where Europe is
going to step up and provide enough weaponry for Zelenski
to fight a real war against Putin. And we have
to also keep in the back of our head that
they're nuclear armed, and I don't think the United States
(04:44):
can sell them enough equipment that they can actually neutralize
Russia in the end, although it is impacting Russia in
a very negative.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Way well as a good history lesson. So what does
winning look like for the United States and the civilized world?
That Putin does not do this again? There'll be no
third invasion that we will do the opposite of what
Obama and Biden did. We will set up a piece
(05:13):
this time with infrastructure and play that would deter Putin
or anybody else from Russia doing this again. What would
that look like? Security guarantees to Ukraine, where that if
you invade Ukraine, inviting all of Europe, not just Ukraine,
where the Europeans guarantee security guarantees for Ukraine, that we
(05:33):
continue to sell Ukraine weapons to make them the most
lethal army on the continent. If I had to pick
an army to fight with right now, I'd pick Ukraine.
These are terrific fighters. There have been fighting like tigers.
They're outmanned dramatically. I mean, this is the kind of
person you'd want fighting along your side, the Ukrainian who
is in it to win it and not lose their country.
(05:56):
So the bottom line, yeah, they've been like ten to one.
Bottom line is three and a half years later, Putin's
taken like one percent of territory beginning where he did
in twenty twenty two. The bottom line is to keep
helping the Ukrainian military. That's the deterrent all of his own.
Keep selling them high end weapons as a deterrent, have
(06:17):
security guarantees from Europe to Ukraine, backstop with the United States,
integrate our economies and put European forces on the ground,
and have pre invasion sanctions, telling Putin, if you ever
invade again, we're going to crush your economy from day one.
But let me add something to your history review here.
I went to Biden and said he's gone invade. I
(06:40):
went to the Munich Security conference. The guy's going in,
do yourself in the world of favor, get behind my sanctions,
pre invasion sanctions, telling Putin that if you go in
this time, here's what happens. To you on day one.
Biden and his whole national security team said that would
(07:00):
be too provocative. I couldn't believe it. I had bipartisan
support for sanctions against Russia before the invasion, but Biden
wouldn't do it. So what did Trump do before he
left office in twenty twenty? He gave the Ukrainians Javelin
anti tink missiles, And the only reason they survived the
(07:23):
twenty two invasion is that Trump had left them enough
javelins to blow up Russian tanks to keep them from
coming to Kiev. They were within eight miles of keep
and it was these javelins that stopped the Russian invasion.
So what do you do now? You end this for
honorably and justly. You're not going to evict every Russian
(07:46):
from Ukraine. That's not going to happen. But you can
do it in a way that we did with East
Berlin and West Berlin at the line of contact, freeze it.
You don't see territory to Russia, but you just acknowledge
their parts of Ukraine where the Russians occupy and try
to fix it later. But do what I just said
at security guarantees, build up of the Ukrainian armies of
(08:09):
former deterrence, pre invasion sanctions. Now Trump's the best guy
in the world to be in the room with Putin.
If you don't get that, you're an idiot. All the
people criticizing Trump for the same crowd that allowed Ukraine
to be invaded twice and when they took a crime
in twenty fourteen, Obama did nothing. He didn't create the terrence.
(08:32):
He just ended the conflict in a phony way. And
that's why he had the twenty twenty two invasion. Obama
and Bid never told who here's what happens if you
do it again. They didn't help the Ukrainians. They refused
to help the Ukrainians. They didn't integrate our economy. What
did Donald Trump do? He signed a deal with the
Ukraine on critical minerals worth treeions of dollars. We have
(08:56):
an interest now worth protecting Donald Trump. His provided weapons
to Ukraine. He has an economic deal with Ukraine and
makes it our interest to end this war. Well, so
what's going to happen in Alaska? You're putting the best
person on the planet in a room with Putin's why?
Because he fears Trump. He would not invade on Trump's watch.
(09:16):
You're right about that, and he's going to do a
deal with Trump because you don't want to get on
the wrong side of Trump. Why is he meeting with
Trump now? Trump put a fifty percent tariff on India,
who's the second largest purchaser of Russia and oil, and
he's going to do more unless this war ends. So
I am very hopeful, prayerful, and excited that Donald Trump
(09:39):
has got Putin's attention and we're going to end this war,
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We continue now with a preview of this week's coming
summit with President Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. We
will be there with our coverage Thursday and Friday. Why
would we think that Putin would ever want to return
any of the territory that maybe he's gained in this common.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, what I would say to that is that after
the World War Two, East Berlin and West Berlin was divided,
overtime communism failed in Germany's a reunited united country. They'll
be life after Putin. And here's the practicality of what
you're talking about. Trump has put Iran in a box,
(10:25):
help Israel destroy their nuclear capability for years without one
troop on the ground. He stood by Israel, but Israel's
done to fighting. Not one American soldier is going to Ukraine.
He's giving them weapons to fend off the invasion. They'll
come a time, and it's upon us. I've been waiting
for the moment to end this war. It is upon us.
(10:47):
Putin's going to have a clear choice if you don't
accept a reasonable, just peace agreement. Donald Trump is going
to load up Ukraine with most sophisticated weapons on the
planet for as long as it takes selling them to Europe.
Donald Trump is going after Putin.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
By the way, that's a big difference from from Biden,
who is giving hundreds of billions of dollars in equipment
to Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
We're gonna make money. I don't want to be a
war property here. We're not. But we're going to sell
the weapons to Europe, which is good.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We can't afford to give them away, we don't. We
have too much doubt. We can't afford it.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well, so we're gonna build more. We need more ourselves.
Bunker Buster is the whole deal. We're going to be
rearming America because we've been helping Israel, helping Ukraine, but
Here's what the magic of Trump. Europe's gonna pay for
Europe's gonna pay for us, you know, rearming, helping Ukraine
as well as helping ourselves. But the main thing here
is is Putin's going to have a choice. Before, under
(11:47):
Biden and Obama, there was no downside to continue this war.
They were all talked, what's the magic word that Biden
used against Putin?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Minor incursion?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
They said minor encouragion. But when they said, what's your
message to Putin about invading.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You don't?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
You don't don't.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Okay, The word don't has become a joke in the
English language when used by Biden. Now what has Trump done?
He's gotten Putin to come to Alaska. Now, why the
hell do you think Putin's come into Alaska to just
take a vacation. He's coming to Alaska because Trump has
got him in a byte. Trump has been selling, not
(12:32):
giving weapons to Ukraine, and they're using them very effectively.
Trump hit the second largest customer of Russian oil purchases,
India with a fifty percent There, what has India done
in the last week? They made it well.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Also also got commitments for the European Union. To stop
funding his war machine by buying our energy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
This has been like our energy independence is going to
be accelerated. We're the becoming exporter of energy. We're selling
gas and oil to Europe that they were previously buying
from Putin. But here's the point. Trump is going to
give the world a choice. If Putin rejects a fair deal,
(13:15):
then Trump's going to make it miserable for any country
to do business with Russia.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Stop let me let me ask an exit question. Only
because of the constraints of time, What are the odds
Trump is going to have to stand up like Reagan
did and say yet and walk away and then just
just go full boar with what you're talking about Plan B.
We have about twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
There are one hundred percent is Trump thinks Putin's playing him,
He'll get up and walk away and the Russian economy
will get crushed. He's coming to Alaska for a reason.
Trump has got him in advice. I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, it'd be great for the world. I mean, honestly,
these wars have to stop. How many more people we saw,
you know, more innocent dead civilians this weekend. Well, you
know what's the upside here. It just makes no sense.
But put listen and putin, don't ever fool yourself. He's
a murdering dictator, thug. We know what we're dealing with.
De Lensky hasn't been perfect either, but honestly, we've we've
(14:11):
got you know, the aggressor here has been from the
get go. Putin h Lindsey Grare appreciate it. Hopefully this
this ends in peace for Europe, although Europe frankly has
been pretty pathetic in their in their.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Contribution, if you even want to call it that, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Eight hundred Well, by the way, Lindsay will join us
on TV tonight with more of a preview. We will
be in Alaska doing this program on Thursday and Friday.
The radio show the mainstream media a love state.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is the Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Al Right, twenty five now till the top of the hour.
Eight hundred nine one, Shawn is a number. We'll get
to your calls here in a minute. Uh Listen, there
are times, because this world is ugly and dangerous and
the evil at times that people want to kill you
and cause great harm to you and your family and
your employees. And sometimes only lethal force will do. That's
(15:10):
where my SIG Sour comes in. And you got to
be safe, you got to prepare for a worst case scenario.
Six Sour is the world's leading manufacturer of firearms, optics
ammunition suppressors. I personally love them. I think you'll love
them too. And if you carry a firearm in the summertime,
that could be kind of tricky. You wearing t shirts
and shorts and light clothes, and it doesn't mean you
(15:33):
still can't protect yourself. And by the way, don't forget.
They have their number one selling concealed carry pistol. I
carry it off in myself. It is the sig Sour
P three sixty five and now through September the first
all summer long, you get the one hundred dollars in
SIG cash when you buy any P three sixty five.
It's really easy to carry, it's easy to shoot, and
(15:56):
anyway you can use the one hundred bucks for a hulster,
maybe an ammunition of flashlight, optics, whatever you need to
stay protected all summer long. Now Sig Sour firearms optics suppressors.
They include the only in the industry, is only unique
and infinite guarantee. God forbid. Something breaks and it likely
won't anyway, they'll fix it. And if it can't be fixed,
(16:17):
they'll replace it. And you don't need a receipt, you
don't need a warranty. CARB fully transferable forever. They have
nearly four thousand employees, all in the great state of
New Hampshire, all America made. And the beauty is is
that they are the leading manufacturer when it comes to
the next generation of weaponry, working closely with our defense department.
(16:38):
I'll just go to sigsour dot com slash Hannity to
find out more. That's sig s a u R dot
com slash anity. And don't forget your hundred bucks and
sig cash you can get if you get your sig
sour p. Three sixty five at sigsur dot com slash Hannity. Today,
I don't know what's in the water. The Left is
just they're losing their elective minds. Listen to Bozo or Rourke.
(17:03):
Beto Bozo, remember he's back in the news. Democrats should
maximize the advantage with redistricting. Well they already have, as
we pointed out again and again and again. He goes
if the rules. We're going to win whatever it takes,
after rules at the Constitution, after rule of law. Oh,
(17:23):
sounds like an insurrectionist. And then he says, when Democrats
take back power, we're going to legalize every immigrant. Great,
thanks for letting every America know how you really feel.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Listen, we want California, in New Jersey and Illinois and
Maryland and every other state where the Democrats hold the
governor's mansion, the Assembly, and the state Senate to redraw
their congressional districts. Now, not wait for Texas to move
first to maximize Democratic Party advantage. Listen. You may say
to yourself, well, those aren't the rules. There are no
(17:56):
reps in this game for the rules.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
We are gonna win whatever it takes. We're gonna take
this to them in every way that we can.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Well, we won power in two thousand and eight, the
White House, the House, and the Senate. We won power
in twenty twenty the White House, the House, and the Senate.
The American people were watching because we had promised them
what we would do with that power, and we absolutely
failed to live up to the expectation that we set.
So next time we win power, we're gonna drive that
(18:24):
car like we stole it. We're gonna legalize every Dreamer,
every Dreamer's parents, every hard working American doing backbreaking work
that makes this country so great in the first place,
even greater.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
As US citizens.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I mean, is there any wonder the America is rejecting
the left more and more? We can add Bozo to
the list of leading Democratic voices of insanity, including Grandpa
Bernie Pocahontas, Jasmin krockatt our favorite, We'll get to hurt
in a second, aoc the squad, a whole bunch of them,
you know. Of course, then you got Tampon, Tim and Kamala.
(19:00):
You can add to the list. Kasmin Crockett confronted over
the fact that she barely shows up to work and
when she does, she's a mean boss. Here's what she said.
Are you a no show boss from hell who terrorized
the staffers?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Oh my goodness, listen, I know that I have arrived, honey.
That is the way that I see this, because, as
Beyonce says, if they're not talking about you, then obviously
you must not be doing anything.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think it's always very telling how you treat other people,
you know, And maybe if you're in a position of power,
especially how you treat people. I can ask everyone on
our staff, Linda's off today because it's her birthday. I
would say that that was a nice gesture on my part. Uh,
all right, what do I get as a boss? A grade?
Meet Jason. We'll start with you. What do I get?
(19:49):
You get a solid B, A solid bee. I'm not
buying you lunch anymore, and you're buying steak and sushi.
Good grief, I don't eat no soush. You don't even
start that mess. Well, did you not get like a
bon in ribi the other day? What'd you get the
other day?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah I did? I did get a nice expensive No. Yeah?
And do I put any limits on what you can
buy for lunch every day?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
No, it's kind of a bad And you like the
Christmas bonus I give I used to give you every year. Oh,
if it's I used to, then I'm really going to
roll up your tab. No.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
No, if it's meaning it will be I used to
because of a solid B is really a rotten score.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I think I deserve much better, Ethan. What do I
get across the board? Uh? Ethan, now may get a
bigger bonus this year, Katie get sucking up A plus
is done, A pluses whatever you need A pluses. By
the way, we met, Sean, I'm here, oh the stag
and eight. Yeah. I just want to say its work
with me since nineteen ninety two. That's right. And I
(20:48):
wouldn't have stayed thirty three years had you not been
a solid A plus honor roll performer year after year.
That's why I leave you alone and let you do
your job as well.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I love.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's why I wouldn't do their job, and I don't
bother them. Nothing worse. If you're doing a good job,
then just leave employees alone. That's my attitude. Very hands off.
If you're doing a good job, very mans off. Democrats
all remember they were on the steps with Corey Booker,
Hakeem Jefferies. Remember they were singing this the world would
(21:21):
love so irritating. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Let
me remind you, I will.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Build this world from love. I will this word. Yetta
gotta die AI where they're back?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Added this weekend, DC protesters singing in response to Trump
federalizing the police earlier today.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Free see we shall not be moved, just like country.
That's plans in.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
DC.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't get the singing part. I really don't. I
don't get it. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh all right, John and Canada. John, how are you
glad you called?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Sir? Welcome aboard?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I'm good man? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Good? Good? Start talk about Stern. He always was a
germa a little thing.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I could live with the fact that he's a germaphode
and he was always a little bit. But he was
honest about his neurosis and all that stuff. You know,
it was part of his charm to be honest. That's
not a problem. But I mean, he really definitely freaked
out over COVID, and you know, believed all the government
hype about, oh, if you get the shot, you're not
going to get COVID. If you get the shot, you
(22:49):
won't infect other people. Uh, wrong, wrong and wrong again.
And according to reports he went into hiding for three years.
I think that's a little bit of an overreaction.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean when he was on, he was
the greatest that there was.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
He was great. Listen, I'll concede the point.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
All me and all my friends grew up listening to him,
and I just don't recognize the guy anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I like the old guy. I want the old guy back.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
I know when that plandemic hit two thousand and twenty
or whatever, twenty one, he just went completely nutty and
I just listen.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well it was before that, though, I remember when he
interviewed Hillary Clinton, and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm like,
what happened to him? Listen the guy as as far
as I'm concerned, and it's conjecture on my part. The
guy I grew up listening to that was irreverent, politically incorrect.
He was rock and roll. He was fun, irreverent, iconoclastic,
(23:49):
no holds barred. That guy loved Donald Trump. Even talk
to Donald Trump about maybe running for president. Maybe he
didn't mean it, Maybe it was a show. I don't know.
Maybe all that time, somehow, you know, he wished or
had a desire to be accepted by this other group
of people.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
The old guy was great that this this version of
him I don't recognize.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
When he was running for what was he going to
be governor or New York or something like.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That until until he had to give his financial statement up.
Then he's like, I'm out of this, no, thank you,
And who blames them?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
I know that's right. But he said he was going
to take those criminals and burn him and use your
ashes to fix potholes.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I mean, that was the funny stuff that he would
he would do, and he would say, and and he
created a bar really unto himself that that he could be.
And I don't know, I'm you know, part of me
is like disappointed at it all. And he's like fighting
(24:54):
back and he's like, if that's woke, f you, I
think you people that voted for Trump are effing morons. Well,
every one of my friends that grew up listening to him,
they all voted for Trump, and they all think that
he kind of gave in to I don't know, the
PC establishment, the woke establishment, and he just isn't the
(25:14):
same person. And I don't know what happened. I mean,
he became like a crazy cat lady down on Palm Beach,
like hundreds of cats, and he shows up in the
Hamptons and goes, you know, to Polo matches. Here you
keep reading in the paper, I'm like, what happened to
that guy that that's not the guy I knew. Oh,
I got something else. If you got time, I don't.
I got to get to other callers though. I hope
you don't mind, but you can call back any time,
(25:35):
all right, I'm trying to be fair to everybody. Robert Nebraska,
what's up, Robert.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
John Thanks to taking my call. Hey, so I've been
listening to you for a long time. I actually found
you through Rush. Thank you last week and a half.
You know, you had two colors in particular, first lady
and then the last one of guy you know, accused
me of nothing but hate and all this other stuff. Yeah,
I'm sure you already know this, but the mass and
Jordan's of us out here can see right through that.
(26:02):
Know they're full of crap. So just keep doing what
you do.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm I'm
not a hateful person.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I really am not. I have strong political views.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I get into political talk radio, and I got into
it because I just was a passion of mine and
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
The weird thing we were just talking about Howard sterned
when if you watch his movie private parts. I identify
with so much of that I can't even begin to
tell you. And you know, and that is like I
was a radio nomad. You go from city to city
to city. You don't get paid any money when you
start out. You don't have your own voice.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
He does a scene in one of his first stations
where he goes and now I check it. Today's weather, hazy,
hot and human chance of late afternoon thunderstorms. Right now
it's seventy eight degrees right here on WWWW. And you know,
we all think we want to try and be radio guys.
When we in our heads, you think you should broadcast
like a radio guy. Trump Stern became great when it
(27:06):
became Stern, and he pushed the envelope. You know, Rush
was great because he pushed the envelope. I found, you know,
a different voice. And I know I'm not the funniest
that I know, I'm not the smartest, but I do
my own thing. And I think, if anything, I kind
of represent the guy that grew up working class and
sees government as the least helpful thing in our lives.
And I just want I just want people to have
(27:28):
a chance at the American dream.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
That I've had, you know, and that's that's just it
and one hundred percent. You know, I retired after twenty
six years in the army, and in that twenty six
years I deployed a lot of times. So I've seen
a lot of other places in the world. And for
the last four years for Trump got back in office,
it is just absolutely for me what I've seen with
all these crazies that you know, hate American want to
destroy everything, is just they have really no idea how
(27:52):
good we have here.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean, that's really so well said. We're so blessed.
We take a lot of our blessings for granted. One
of them is we live in the greatest, best country
God gave men. And this is a myth among the
left too, is that we want to control people's lives. No,
we don't want to control your life. We don't want
to tell you what kind of car to drive. We
don't want to tell you whether you're gonna have a
(28:14):
straw that's paper or plastic. We don't want to tell
you what kind of air conditioner, refrigerator, a washer and
dryer you should have. We believe in freedom. We have
no conservative that I really know There are some, but
not not people that are mainstream that want anything to
do with your private life. We don't care. And most
(28:36):
conservatives I know are they just want to live and
have their shot at the American dream. And that means
get government out of the way. Tax us less, regulate
us less, you know, give us a chance to climb
the ladder of success. We'll work card, we'll do our part,
but just then leave us alone the rest of the way.
And I think that I speak for a lot of
conservatives when I say that. Now, that also means you
(28:59):
know that you you can't give gender affirming care to
our children without parental consent. Parents are not potted plants.
Let them instill values, and you teach them how to read, write,
do math, science, history, and computers, and get out of
our way. It's really that simple, all right, man, appreciate
the call. Glad you are out there. Eight hundred and
ninety four one show on our number. We got a
(29:20):
great Hannity tonight, nine Eastern. Janine Piro on President Trump's

nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We'll see you tonight,
back here tomorrow. Thank you for making this show possible.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, News Roundup and Information Overload hour. Here's our
Tolfrey telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety four one
Sean if you want to join us. So I've been
to forty nine of the fifty states. The one state
I have not been to which I have great admiration for,
(00:21):
and I mentioned this earlier in the show to New
Gingrich is the state of Alaska. Well, that will come
to an end, assuming I arrived safely. This week, as
President Trump will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska
for a summit in the hopes of bringing about a
piece in Europe, which the President has been trying very
(00:45):
hard to achieve. The President commented on this at his
press conference earlier today and said he's going to tell
Putin he's got to end this war. Here's what he said.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, I'm going in to speak to Vladimir, and I'm
going to be telling him you got end this war.
You got to end it. And he wasn't going to
mess with me. He was this war would have never happened.
You know, we had a discussion about it one time,
and we never had that discussion again.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Would have never happened.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And what he was talking about is in his first
term he said, don't even think about going into Ukraine.
They had already annexed Primea in what twenty fourteen with
Obama and Biden. This entire issue was inherited by President
Trump and he's trying to resolve and untangled yet another
Biden Harris mess. Then the President went on to say
(01:36):
that he's going to call Zelinsky European leaders after the
meeting and try and make a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And here's what he said about that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I'm going to meet with him. We're going to see
what the parameters are, and then going to call up
President Zelinski and the European leaders right after the meeting. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell him what kind of a deal.
I'm not going to make a deal. It's not up
to me to make a deal. I think a deal
should be made for both. I think Russia has to
get back into building their country. It's a massive country.
(02:06):
I think they have eleven time zones. If you can
believe it, it's a massive It's by far from the
standpoint of land it's by far the largest. They have
tremendous potential in Russia to do well. They're not doing well.
Their economy is not doing well right now because it's
been very well disturbed by This doesn't help with the
President of the United States tells their largest or second
(02:27):
largest oil buyer that We're putting a fifty percent tarif
on you if you buy oil from Russia.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That was a big blow.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And then they said, gee, he wasn't so tough. Nobody
else would have done that. And I haven't stopped there.
I mean, look, I was all set to do things
far bigger than that, but I got a call that
they'd like to meet, and I'm going to see what
they want to I'd like to see a cease fire.
I'd like to see the best deal that could be
made for both parties. You know, it takes two to tango, right, all.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Right, So he's going to try his best. Senator Lindsey Graham,
who will join us in a minute, said that Trump's
going to meet Putin from a position of strength. He
said it on Meet the Press this weekend. Here's what
he said.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I have every confidence in the world that the President
is going to go to meet Putin from a position
of strength that he's going to look out for Europe
and Ukrainian needs to end this for honorably. And it's
time to end this for honorably. But how we do
it will be historical, and I'm confident President Trump will
(03:33):
get a good deal for all.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
All Right, joining us now is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham,
Senator Great back here. So the president inherited this problem.
Joe Biden never even picked up the phone and called
Putin and said, why are you amassing troops? Why are
you amassing this military equipment? Never tried for a negotiated
settlement before it even started. Now President Trump is trying
(03:56):
to untangle a mess. Unfortunately, under Biden had evolved into
a proxy war as far as I'm concerned, between the
US and Russia and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
millions billions of dollars even that the United States was
giving Ukraine. Now we're now under Trump, we're selling equipment,
military equipment to Ukraine. Because Putin has been so difficult
(04:20):
to deal with, but he has agreed to this summit.
How do we define success at this point? Because so
to be, I don't see a scenario where Europe is
going to step up and provide enough weaponry for Zelenski
to fight a real war against Putin. And we have
to also keep in the back of our head that
they're nuclear armed, and I don't think the United States
(04:44):
can sell them enough equipment that they can actually neutralize
Russia in the end, although it is impacting Russia in
a very negative.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Way well as a good history lesson. So what does
winning look like for the United States and the civilized world?
That Putin does not do this again? There'll be no
third invasion that we will do the opposite of what
Obama and Biden did. We will set up a piece
(05:13):
this time with infrastructure and play that would deter Putin
or anybody else from Russia doing this again. What would
that look like? Security guarantees to Ukraine, where that if
you invade Ukraine, inviting all of Europe, not just Ukraine,
where the Europeans guarantee security guarantees for Ukraine, that we
(05:33):
continue to sell Ukraine weapons to make them the most
lethal army on the continent. If I had to pick
an army to fight with right now, I'd pick Ukraine.
These are terrific fighters. There have been fighting like tigers.
They're outmanned dramatically. I mean, this is the kind of
person you'd want fighting along your side, the Ukrainian who
is in it to win it and not lose their country.
(05:56):
So the bottom line, yeah, they've been like ten to one.
Bottom line is three and a half years later, Putin's
taken like one percent of territory beginning where he did
in twenty twenty two. The bottom line is to keep
helping the Ukrainian military. That's the deterrent all of his own.
Keep selling them high end weapons as a deterrent, have
(06:17):
security guarantees from Europe to Ukraine, backstop with the United States,
integrate our economies and put European forces on the ground,
and have pre invasion sanctions, telling Putin, if you ever
invade again, we're going to crush your economy from day one.
But let me add something to your history review here.
I went to Biden and said he's gone invade. I
(06:40):
went to the Munich Security conference. The guy's going in,
do yourself in the world of favor, get behind my sanctions,
pre invasion sanctions, telling Putin that if you go in
this time, here's what happens. To you on day one.
Biden and his whole national security team said that would
(07:00):
be too provocative. I couldn't believe it. I had bipartisan
support for sanctions against Russia before the invasion, but Biden
wouldn't do it. So what did Trump do before he
left office in twenty twenty? He gave the Ukrainians Javelin
anti tink missiles, And the only reason they survived the
(07:23):
twenty two invasion is that Trump had left them enough
javelins to blow up Russian tanks to keep them from
coming to Kiev. They were within eight miles of keep
and it was these javelins that stopped the Russian invasion.
So what do you do now? You end this for
honorably and justly. You're not going to evict every Russian
(07:46):
from Ukraine. That's not going to happen. But you can
do it in a way that we did with East
Berlin and West Berlin at the line of contact, freeze it.
You don't see territory to Russia, but you just acknowledge
their parts of Ukraine where the Russians occupy and try
to fix it later. But do what I just said
at security guarantees, build up of the Ukrainian armies of
(08:09):
former deterrence, pre invasion sanctions. Now Trump's the best guy
in the world to be in the room with Putin.
If you don't get that, you're an idiot. All the
people criticizing Trump for the same crowd that allowed Ukraine
to be invaded twice and when they took a crime
in twenty fourteen, Obama did nothing. He didn't create the terrence.
(08:32):
He just ended the conflict in a phony way. And
that's why he had the twenty twenty two invasion. Obama
and Bid never told who here's what happens if you
do it again. They didn't help the Ukrainians. They refused
to help the Ukrainians. They didn't integrate our economy. What
did Donald Trump do? He signed a deal with the
Ukraine on critical minerals worth treeions of dollars. We have
(08:56):
an interest now worth protecting Donald Trump. His provided weapons
to Ukraine. He has an economic deal with Ukraine and
makes it our interest to end this war. Well, so
what's going to happen in Alaska? You're putting the best
person on the planet in a room with Putin's why?
Because he fears Trump. He would not invade on Trump's watch.
(09:16):
You're right about that, and he's going to do a
deal with Trump because you don't want to get on
the wrong side of Trump. Why is he meeting with
Trump now? Trump put a fifty percent tariff on India,
who's the second largest purchaser of Russia and oil, and
he's going to do more unless this war ends. So
I am very hopeful, prayerful, and excited that Donald Trump
(09:39):
has got Putin's attention and we're going to end this war,
all right.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
We continue now with a preview of this week's coming
summit with President Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. We
will be there with our coverage Thursday and Friday. Why
would we think that Putin would ever want to return
any of the territory that maybe he's gained in this common.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, what I would say to that is that after
the World War Two, East Berlin and West Berlin was divided,
overtime communism failed in Germany's a reunited united country. They'll
be life after Putin. And here's the practicality of what
you're talking about. Trump has put Iran in a box,
(10:25):
help Israel destroy their nuclear capability for years without one
troop on the ground. He stood by Israel, but Israel's
done to fighting. Not one American soldier is going to Ukraine.
He's giving them weapons to fend off the invasion. They'll
come a time, and it's upon us. I've been waiting
for the moment to end this war. It is upon us.
(10:47):
Putin's going to have a clear choice if you don't
accept a reasonable, just peace agreement. Donald Trump is going
to load up Ukraine with most sophisticated weapons on the
planet for as long as it takes selling them to Europe.
Donald Trump is going after Putin.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
By the way, that's a big difference from from Biden,
who is giving hundreds of billions of dollars in equipment
to Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
We're gonna make money. I don't want to be a
war property here. We're not. But we're going to sell
the weapons to Europe, which is good.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We can't afford to give them away, we don't. We
have too much doubt. We can't afford it.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well, so we're gonna build more. We need more ourselves.
Bunker Buster is the whole deal. We're going to be
rearming America because we've been helping Israel, helping Ukraine, but
Here's what the magic of Trump. Europe's gonna pay for
Europe's gonna pay for us, you know, rearming, helping Ukraine
as well as helping ourselves. But the main thing here
is is Putin's going to have a choice. Before, under
(11:47):
Biden and Obama, there was no downside to continue this war.
They were all talked, what's the magic word that Biden
used against Putin?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Minor incursion?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
They said minor encouragion. But when they said, what's your
message to Putin about invading.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You don't?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
You don't don't.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Okay, The word don't has become a joke in the
English language when used by Biden. Now what has Trump done?
He's gotten Putin to come to Alaska. Now, why the
hell do you think Putin's come into Alaska to just
take a vacation. He's coming to Alaska because Trump has
got him in a byte. Trump has been selling, not
(12:32):
giving weapons to Ukraine, and they're using them very effectively.
Trump hit the second largest customer of Russian oil purchases,
India with a fifty percent There, what has India done
in the last week? They made it well.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Also also got commitments for the European Union. To stop
funding his war machine by buying our energy.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
This has been like our energy independence is going to
be accelerated. We're the becoming exporter of energy. We're selling
gas and oil to Europe that they were previously buying
from Putin. But here's the point. Trump is going to
give the world a choice. If Putin rejects a fair deal,
(13:15):
then Trump's going to make it miserable for any country
to do business with Russia.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Stop let me let me ask an exit question. Only
because of the constraints of time, What are the odds
Trump is going to have to stand up like Reagan
did and say yet and walk away and then just
just go full boar with what you're talking about Plan B.
We have about twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
There are one hundred percent is Trump thinks Putin's playing him,
He'll get up and walk away and the Russian economy
will get crushed. He's coming to Alaska for a reason.
Trump has got him in advice. I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well, it'd be great for the world. I mean, honestly,
these wars have to stop. How many more people we saw,
you know, more innocent dead civilians this weekend. Well, you
know what's the upside here. It just makes no sense.
But put listen and putin, don't ever fool yourself. He's
a murdering dictator, thug. We know what we're dealing with.
De Lensky hasn't been perfect either, but honestly, we've we've
(14:11):
got you know, the aggressor here has been from the
get go. Putin h Lindsey Grare appreciate it. Hopefully this
this ends in peace for Europe, although Europe frankly has
been pretty pathetic in their in their.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Contribution, if you even want to call it that, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Eight hundred Well, by the way, Lindsay will join us
on TV tonight with more of a preview. We will
be in Alaska doing this program on Thursday and Friday.
The radio show the mainstream media a love state.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is the Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Al Right, twenty five now till the top of the hour.
Eight hundred nine one, Shawn is a number. We'll get
to your calls here in a minute. Uh Listen, there
are times, because this world is ugly and dangerous and
the evil at times that people want to kill you
and cause great harm to you and your family and
your employees. And sometimes only lethal force will do. That's
(15:10):
where my SIG Sour comes in. And you got to
be safe, you got to prepare for a worst case scenario.
Six Sour is the world's leading manufacturer of firearms, optics
ammunition suppressors. I personally love them. I think you'll love
them too. And if you carry a firearm in the summertime,
that could be kind of tricky. You wearing t shirts
and shorts and light clothes, and it doesn't mean you
(15:33):
still can't protect yourself. And by the way, don't forget.
They have their number one selling concealed carry pistol. I
carry it off in myself. It is the sig Sour
P three sixty five and now through September the first
all summer long, you get the one hundred dollars in
SIG cash when you buy any P three sixty five.
It's really easy to carry, it's easy to shoot, and
(15:56):
anyway you can use the one hundred bucks for a hulster,
maybe an ammunition of flashlight, optics, whatever you need to
stay protected all summer long. Now Sig Sour firearms optics suppressors.
They include the only in the industry, is only unique
and infinite guarantee. God forbid. Something breaks and it likely
won't anyway, they'll fix it. And if it can't be fixed,
(16:17):
they'll replace it. And you don't need a receipt, you
don't need a warranty. CARB fully transferable forever. They have
nearly four thousand employees, all in the great state of
New Hampshire, all America made. And the beauty is is
that they are the leading manufacturer when it comes to
the next generation of weaponry, working closely with our defense department.
(16:38):
I'll just go to sigsour dot com slash Hannity to
find out more. That's sig s a u R dot
com slash anity. And don't forget your hundred bucks and
sig cash you can get if you get your sig
sour p. Three sixty five at sigsur dot com slash Hannity. Today,
I don't know what's in the water. The Left is
just they're losing their elective minds. Listen to Bozo or Rourke.
(17:03):
Beto Bozo, remember he's back in the news. Democrats should
maximize the advantage with redistricting. Well they already have, as
we pointed out again and again and again. He goes
if the rules. We're going to win whatever it takes,
after rules at the Constitution, after rule of law. Oh,
(17:23):
sounds like an insurrectionist. And then he says, when Democrats
take back power, we're going to legalize every immigrant. Great,
thanks for letting every America know how you really feel.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Listen, we want California, in New Jersey and Illinois and
Maryland and every other state where the Democrats hold the
governor's mansion, the Assembly, and the state Senate to redraw
their congressional districts. Now, not wait for Texas to move
first to maximize Democratic Party advantage. Listen. You may say
to yourself, well, those aren't the rules. There are no
(17:56):
reps in this game for the rules.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
We are gonna win whatever it takes. We're gonna take
this to them in every way that we can.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Well, we won power in two thousand and eight, the
White House, the House, and the Senate. We won power
in twenty twenty the White House, the House, and the Senate.
The American people were watching because we had promised them
what we would do with that power, and we absolutely
failed to live up to the expectation that we set.
So next time we win power, we're gonna drive that
(18:24):
car like we stole it. We're gonna legalize every Dreamer,
every Dreamer's parents, every hard working American doing backbreaking work
that makes this country so great in the first place,
even greater.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
As US citizens.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I mean, is there any wonder the America is rejecting
the left more and more? We can add Bozo to
the list of leading Democratic voices of insanity, including Grandpa
Bernie Pocahontas, Jasmin krockatt our favorite, We'll get to hurt
in a second, aoc the squad, a whole bunch of them,
you know. Of course, then you got Tampon, Tim and Kamala.
(19:00):
You can add to the list. Kasmin Crockett confronted over
the fact that she barely shows up to work and
when she does, she's a mean boss. Here's what she said.
Are you a no show boss from hell who terrorized
the staffers?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
Oh my goodness, listen, I know that I have arrived, honey.
That is the way that I see this, because, as
Beyonce says, if they're not talking about you, then obviously
you must not be doing anything.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think it's always very telling how you treat other people,
you know, And maybe if you're in a position of power,
especially how you treat people. I can ask everyone on
our staff, Linda's off today because it's her birthday. I
would say that that was a nice gesture on my part. Uh,
all right, what do I get as a boss? A grade?
Meet Jason. We'll start with you. What do I get?
(19:49):
You get a solid B, A solid bee. I'm not
buying you lunch anymore, and you're buying steak and sushi.
Good grief, I don't eat no soush. You don't even
start that mess. Well, did you not get like a
bon in ribi the other day? What'd you get the
other day?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah I did? I did get a nice expensive No. Yeah?
And do I put any limits on what you can
buy for lunch every day?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
No, it's kind of a bad And you like the
Christmas bonus I give I used to give you every year. Oh,
if it's I used to, then I'm really going to
roll up your tab. No.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
No, if it's meaning it will be I used to
because of a solid B is really a rotten score.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I think I deserve much better, Ethan. What do I
get across the board? Uh? Ethan, now may get a
bigger bonus this year, Katie get sucking up A plus
is done, A pluses whatever you need A pluses. By
the way, we met, Sean, I'm here, oh the stag
and eight. Yeah. I just want to say its work
with me since nineteen ninety two. That's right. And I
(20:48):
wouldn't have stayed thirty three years had you not been
a solid A plus honor roll performer year after year.
That's why I leave you alone and let you do
your job as well.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I love.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's why I wouldn't do their job, and I don't
bother them. Nothing worse. If you're doing a good job,
then just leave employees alone. That's my attitude. Very hands off.
If you're doing a good job, very mans off. Democrats
all remember they were on the steps with Corey Booker,
Hakeem Jefferies. Remember they were singing this the world would
(21:21):
love so irritating. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Let
me remind you, I will.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Build this world from love. I will this word. Yetta
gotta die AI where they're back?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Added this weekend, DC protesters singing in response to Trump
federalizing the police earlier today.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Free see we shall not be moved, just like country.
That's plans in.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
DC.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't get the singing part. I really don't. I
don't get it. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh all right, John and Canada. John, how are you
glad you called?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Sir? Welcome aboard?
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I'm good man? What's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Good? Good? Start talk about Stern. He always was a
germa a little thing.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I could live with the fact that he's a germaphode
and he was always a little bit. But he was
honest about his neurosis and all that stuff. You know,
it was part of his charm to be honest. That's
not a problem. But I mean, he really definitely freaked
out over COVID, and you know, believed all the government
hype about, oh, if you get the shot, you're not
going to get COVID. If you get the shot, you
(22:49):
won't infect other people. Uh, wrong, wrong and wrong again.
And according to reports he went into hiding for three years.
I think that's a little bit of an overreaction.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean when he was on, he was
the greatest that there was.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
He was great. Listen, I'll concede the point.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
All me and all my friends grew up listening to him,
and I just don't recognize the guy anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I like the old guy. I want the old guy back.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
I know when that plandemic hit two thousand and twenty
or whatever, twenty one, he just went completely nutty and
I just listen.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well it was before that, though, I remember when he
interviewed Hillary Clinton, and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm like,
what happened to him? Listen the guy as as far
as I'm concerned, and it's conjecture on my part. The
guy I grew up listening to that was irreverent, politically incorrect.
He was rock and roll. He was fun, irreverent, iconoclastic,
(23:49):
no holds barred. That guy loved Donald Trump. Even talk
to Donald Trump about maybe running for president. Maybe he
didn't mean it, Maybe it was a show. I don't know.
Maybe all that time, somehow, you know, he wished or
had a desire to be accepted by this other group
of people.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
The old guy was great that this this version of
him I don't recognize.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
When he was running for what was he going to
be governor or New York or something like.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That until until he had to give his financial statement up.
Then he's like, I'm out of this, no, thank you,
And who blames them?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
I know that's right. But he said he was going
to take those criminals and burn him and use your
ashes to fix potholes.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I mean, that was the funny stuff that he would
he would do, and he would say, and and he
created a bar really unto himself that that he could be.
And I don't know, I'm you know, part of me
is like disappointed at it all. And he's like fighting
(24:54):
back and he's like, if that's woke, f you, I
think you people that voted for Trump are effing morons. Well,
every one of my friends that grew up listening to him,
they all voted for Trump, and they all think that
he kind of gave in to I don't know, the
PC establishment, the woke establishment, and he just isn't the
(25:14):
same person. And I don't know what happened. I mean,
he became like a crazy cat lady down on Palm Beach,
like hundreds of cats, and he shows up in the
Hamptons and goes, you know, to Polo matches. Here you
keep reading in the paper, I'm like, what happened to
that guy that that's not the guy I knew. Oh,
I got something else. If you got time, I don't.
I got to get to other callers though. I hope
you don't mind, but you can call back any time,
(25:35):
all right, I'm trying to be fair to everybody. Robert Nebraska,
what's up, Robert.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
John Thanks to taking my call. Hey, so I've been
listening to you for a long time. I actually found
you through Rush. Thank you last week and a half.
You know, you had two colors in particular, first lady
and then the last one of guy you know, accused
me of nothing but hate and all this other stuff. Yeah,
I'm sure you already know this, but the mass and
Jordan's of us out here can see right through that.
(26:02):
Know they're full of crap. So just keep doing what
you do.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm I'm
not a hateful person.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I really am not. I have strong political views.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I get into political talk radio, and I got into
it because I just was a passion of mine and
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
The weird thing we were just talking about Howard sterned
when if you watch his movie private parts. I identify
with so much of that I can't even begin to
tell you. And you know, and that is like I
was a radio nomad. You go from city to city
to city. You don't get paid any money when you
start out. You don't have your own voice.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
He does a scene in one of his first stations
where he goes and now I check it. Today's weather, hazy,
hot and human chance of late afternoon thunderstorms. Right now
it's seventy eight degrees right here on WWWW. And you know,
we all think we want to try and be radio guys.
When we in our heads, you think you should broadcast
like a radio guy. Trump Stern became great when it
(27:06):
became Stern, and he pushed the envelope. You know, Rush
was great because he pushed the envelope. I found, you know,
a different voice. And I know I'm not the funniest
that I know, I'm not the smartest, but I do
my own thing. And I think, if anything, I kind
of represent the guy that grew up working class and
sees government as the least helpful thing in our lives.
And I just want I just want people to have
(27:28):
a chance at the American dream.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
That I've had, you know, and that's that's just it
and one hundred percent. You know, I retired after twenty
six years in the army, and in that twenty six
years I deployed a lot of times. So I've seen
a lot of other places in the world. And for
the last four years for Trump got back in office,
it is just absolutely for me what I've seen with
all these crazies that you know, hate American want to
destroy everything, is just they have really no idea how
(27:52):
good we have here.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean, that's really so well said. We're so blessed.
We take a lot of our blessings for granted. One
of them is we live in the greatest, best country
God gave men. And this is a myth among the
left too, is that we want to control people's lives. No,
we don't want to control your life. We don't want
to tell you what kind of car to drive. We
don't want to tell you whether you're gonna have a
(28:14):
straw that's paper or plastic. We don't want to tell
you what kind of air conditioner, refrigerator, a washer and
dryer you should have. We believe in freedom. We have
no conservative that I really know There are some, but
not not people that are mainstream that want anything to
do with your private life. We don't care. And most
(28:36):
conservatives I know are they just want to live and
have their shot at the American dream. And that means
get government out of the way. Tax us less, regulate
us less, you know, give us a chance to climb
the ladder of success. We'll work card, we'll do our part,
but just then leave us alone the rest of the way.
And I think that I speak for a lot of
conservatives when I say that. Now, that also means you
(28:59):
know that you you can't give gender affirming care to
our children without parental consent. Parents are not potted plants.
Let them instill values, and you teach them how to read, write,
do math, science, history, and computers, and get out of
our way. It's really that simple, all right, man, appreciate
the call. Glad you are out there. Eight hundred and
ninety four one show on our number. We got a
