Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going up next our final news roundup and information overload
hour all right, News Roundup and Information Overload. Our toll free,
our number is eight hundred and nine fourt one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well,
we'll get your your favorite food selections for the super
Bowl in our final half hour of the program today.
And you know, if people want to take on Linda
(00:22):
and defend her, they can, even though she didn't know
how many points you get for a field goal. But
we'll get to that later. A big story of the week.
And this, this to me, is actually amazing, and I
think it is such a political miscalculation on the part
of the left to double down on the hundreds of
(00:46):
billions of dollars of waste, fraud, abuse, and just outright corruption.
And I would even use the word stealing your hard
earned tax dollars. The average America makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year. It's not a lot of money. And
those people work hard, played by the rules, obey the laws,
they pay their taxes. And if you ask any America,
(01:07):
I don't care if you're a Democrat Republican live in
a blue state, REDI state doesn't matter. Do you want
to spend twenty million dollars on a Sesame street show
in Iraq or fifty six million to boost Egyptian in
Tunisia tourism, or forty billion building schools in Jordan when
we have failing schools in America. Or eleven million telling
the Vietnamese to stop burning trash, or forty five million
(01:32):
to DEI scholarships in Burma and five hundred and twenty
million dollars for consultant driven ESG investments in Africa. I
have ten pages of this madness. You know, they're paying
taxpayer harder and taxpayer money for DEI musicals in Ireland
and two point five million for electric vehicles in Vietnam.
(01:56):
I mean, this is this is insanity. We're giving money
they've been if it's the Taliban for crying out loud.
You know, forty seven thousand dollars for transgender opera in Colombia,
transgender comic books in Peru, you know DEI programs in Serbia.
It just goes on and on and on. I am
(02:17):
so angry at this. You know, forty four point eight
million for food assist and economic support for Venezuelan illegal
immigrants in Colombia. You got to be kidding me, you know,
six million for the corrupt who for for health coordination
in Gaza. This is this is madness. Twenty four million
(02:39):
for green transportation programs and logistics in Georgia. Twenty nine
million for agricultural trade diversification program in Georgia. You know,
and the money just goes on from there, and it
is absolutely a twenty four million dollar grand for a
green economy program also for Georgia. When does this insanity stop.
(03:03):
Mark Moyer, who's with Hillsdale College and a professor there,
great school, as you know, had written a book Masters
of Corruption, How a federal bureaucracy sabotaged the Trump presidency. Well,
it turns out he was a USAID whistleblower. I had
not heard about him, and anyway, joins us today to
(03:24):
talk about everything that he had learned about us AID
and now that it's come to the forefront in our country.
I got to be honest, doctor Mark, I'm shocked, and
I am angry, and I think every American that pays
taxes should feel like that this should feel as angry
as I feel. But you've known about this for a while,
(03:47):
tell us about your whistleblower status.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, great to be with you, Sean, and yes people
are right to be shocked and angry. And I did
start talking about this before, but when I first started
talking about it that we don't know what USAID is,
and so it's now been thrust into the spotlight and
I think getting the attention it deserved. But yeah, I
was a Trump appoint ee in the first Trump administration
(04:14):
and I went in there and I really didn't know
that much about the place, and so I thought I
was going to be trying to sort of focus on
reorienting towards Trump's priorities. And this was an issue before
where you had people trying to do things that really
weren't in people's interests. But before I really got into that,
I encountered corruption within the office that I was in
(04:37):
charge of, and so I reported that, thinking that they
would take swift action and punish the people involved. But
what happened was they ended up allowing the worst person.
I mean, there were five people I reported. The worst
guy ended up leaving the agency and going to work
at the Department of Defense and keeping his job. In
(04:58):
the meantime, they came after for me suspended my security
clearance on bogus charges that I had disclosed classified information,
and then was put on leave and then ultimately fired.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And this is unfortunately, by the way, aren't there whistleblower
protection laws that should protect you, And if I was you,
I'd be pursuing that and getting your back pay.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, that's partly what I cover. So I go after
I'm fired, I go to the Inspector General, who's supposed
to protect these things, and they tried to claim I
wasn't a whistleblower and that I had not met the standards,
which was ridiculous as well. And then so it gotten
into the public and Senator Graftly then got involved on
(05:41):
my behalf and started asking questions. But when the administration's
turn over, when Samantha Power came in ahead of USCID,
she said, centergraphs and I'm not going to answer any
more questions because I only give that to a committee chair,
and you're no longer a committee chair. So, as you said,
there is this long pattern that they refuse to answer
(06:02):
to even Congress. You know, I actually since had to
sue to try to get the files that they had
on me, because I'm sure they're full of boloney. But
I'm still in court and this is now five years later.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Let me play Samantha Power responding, you know, and trying
to defend the indefensible and the reckless abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Do you think this is a victory for digatious autocratic
regimes around the world who are competing with the US
in Africa, in South America, all around the world for influence.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
What it's not even an opinion. They are out relishing
this moment and celebrating it, including a statement, an official
statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry today. So this is
a disaster, not just from a humanitarian standpoint, from the
standpoint of all the beneficiaries who may in fact die
because they won't have access to US resources. But it's
(07:00):
a disaster for US national interests in national security.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
They're going to die in New yor is that no?
Because they're paying for New Green dealism, worldwide woke programs,
world wide transgenderism, DEI abortion programs. And this has nothing
to do with what she's describing. She's just flat out lying.
In my view, Do you agree with me based on
(07:26):
the knowledge of how the money is spent?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, I mean, when she came in, she pushed to
have DEI gender climate change infused into just about everything
the agency does. And so she, in fact, probably more
than anyone else, deserves the blame for what's happening because
the taxpayers, Congress, and President Trump is fed up. And
(07:51):
so that's why you're seeing finally they're going to they're
really taking charge and forcing the agency to turn over
all this information that will eventually expose all the bad
things that have happened.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I mean, you've heard this all week that they're just
losing their mind. Why do they care? You know, why
would they want to die on this hill? Now there
are a few Democrats. John Fetterman is one, David Axelrod
is another. Rom Rombo Deadfish Emmanuel is another. James Carvill
is another. And he's saying, they're all saying to the Democrats,
(08:26):
are you really that stupid the American Do you think
the American people want hundreds of billions of dollars in waste,
fraud and abuse and foreign aid spent on these you know,
radical agenda items? Are you really that out of touch?
But based on the recent election of the Democratic leadership
the Democratic National Committee, I imagine that they probably they're
(08:51):
not going to change at all. They haven't learned a
thing from this election.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, I think you've got two things that play. One
is you've got some ideological fanatics who's think DEI has
to be everywhere and they will do whatever they can that.
The other part of it those you also have greed
and what you see with USA, it has a forty
two billion dollar budget and so far we're just seeing
the tip of the iceberg. But what we're going to find,
what we've already started to see, is that much of
(09:16):
this money finds its way to contractors or NGOs that
are overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats, and so they have a
financial stake in this. And that's partly why I think
you're seeing so much backlash.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. So your case moves forward, you
expose all of this. You see the reaction this week.
Did you know how bad it was? Did you know
it was this bad?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I knew it was pretty bad. But I think we're
going to get more. You know, I didn't think by
the way, this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is only one agency. That's the most amazing part of this.
This is just the beginning, am my mind.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, Yeah, and it's really been remarkable was that they've
been able to go in and get all the files
because of the first Trump administration. When I was there,
we could never get our hands on everything because the
bureaucrats found ways to hide it. And so we saw
last week they went to the Office of Security and
asked for complete control of the files and had to
threaten to bring in the US Marshals, and they end
(10:19):
up removing the head of the Security Office. But now
we're really going to get to see what's going on,
and I think we're going to find some even more
stunning instances of corruption and ideological abuse.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with
doctor Mark Moyer. He's been a whistleblower. He was blowing
the whistle on USAID or USAID for a long time.
He wrote the book Masters, a Corruption how the federal
bureaucracy sabotaged the Trump presidency. And sadly he's now involved
in a lawsuit because he wasn't given the proper whistleblower
(10:55):
of protections he deserved. More with him on the other
side than your calls. Continue with doctor Mark Moyer. He's
a USAID whistleblower, a big story of the week, and
he's been ahead of the curve, and even he didn't
know how bad this was, but he's paid a dear
personal price for trying to expose all this. Who were
the people responsible after you came forward to expose this?
(11:19):
Do you know the people that were responsible for taking
away your security clearance even though you were trying to
call attention to waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yes, I have a pretty good idea and to cover
this a lot in the book. But what appears to
have happened is the person who one of the corrupt
people I reported, convinced somebody at the Department of Defense
to claim that I had published classified information in a
book that had come out two years earlier and had
been submitted through pre publication review in accordance with the
(11:52):
nonisclosure agreements. And then they put me on leave based
on that investigated and then came back and said, well,
we aren't going to turn over evidence as due process
would suggest, but basically we're going to take this accusation
from the Defense Department is gospel. We don't have to
dispute it. And they use that to fire me, which,
(12:12):
of course, just well wait a.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Minute, pre publication review means that before your book is
ever published, that you give it to the respective agencies
and they go they're supposed to go over it with
a fine tooth calm, and then they're supposed to sign
off on the content to make sure that there is
not anything top secret or anything classified in that book.
(12:35):
And they gave you the sign off on the book
that you eventually published. Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yes, Well, it's a little more complicated that. So the
Defense Department is notorious for just stonewalling. So the non
disclosure agreement is for thirty day thirty working days. After
seven months, they still hadn't gotten around to it, and
they just kept saying we need more time, which is
you know, that's sort of a form of censorship if
you try to withhold permission. So there's a regulation that
(13:01):
says you can give them thirty days notice that you're
going to publish it, and if they still want to
dispute it, they can take you to court.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So I gave them, Yeah, but you gave them every
opportunity to go through the book with a fine tooth
called me. It sounds like you gave them eight months
or even longer, and so they don't have an excuse
to say that they didn't have an opportunity to, you know,
request that something be taken out of the book.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
That's correct. I mean they had a whole year to
raise complaints. It's never said a word. And then too,
you know, two years go by and don't hear a
peep on it. And then all of a sudden, after
I've reported this corruption, they bring this up. And this
of course is a standard tactic of trying to come
up with some ridiculous excuse to target somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Well, well, glad you're out there. We appreciate your courage
and coming forward and really being the tip of the
sphere and exposing USAID or USAID for all of this money,
the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars just poured down
the sewer. And every American should be outraged, every working
(14:08):
man and woman in this country that works so hard
and pays all their taxes. They have no respect for
the American taxpayer to do this to them, and you know,
to advance their radical agenda anyway, Mark appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Eight hundred and nine four one Sean if you want
to be a part of the program, Alec Baldwin's favorite
(14:35):
radio fuck show host is on the air right now, right,
mister Baldwin's Sean Hennedy. Al right, twenty five till the
top of the hours. We head into Super Bowl Sunday weekend,
and I know a lot of you looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Look, in this tough economy, you got to save money
anyway you can. We're still living under the Biden Harris
economic policy. We need the reconciliation fast out of Congress.
Probably won't get it till May or June. That's just
how long the process takes, unfortunately. But you need to
save money. And one way to save money not sacrifice
(15:13):
service is with my cell phone provider, and that is
Pure Talk. And the beauty of Pure Talk. You use
the same exact cell towers as AT and T, Verizon
and T Mobile, the big carriers, the same cell towers,
the same five G network. You get the exact same
service for about half the price, and they have the
same deals that the big carriers have. If, for example,
(15:35):
if you want a free phone, an iPhone fourteen Samsung Galaxy,
you'll get it for free with Pure Talk with a
qualifying planet just forty five dollars a month. Big carriers
usually charge one hundred and a thirty five dollars activation fee. Anyway,
you get premium service that will include unlimited talk and
text and twenty five gigs of data mobile hotspot roaming
(15:59):
at less than half up the price. I mean, you
can get a better deal than that. Now, it's simple
to get your free phone. You just dial pound two
fifty on your cell. You say the keyword saved. Now
pound two fifty, keywords saved. Now claim your new iPhone
or Galaxy with a qualifying purchase from our friends, a
veteran owned company, Pure Talk. They're America's wireless company, the
(16:21):
same exact service. So follow me on this, Senator Kennedy, Louisiana.
Wait to get back to a little bit of super
Bowl talk, then we'll get to the phones. Eight hundred
and nine to four one. Seawan was on the show
this week on TV. He says at one point, and
I don't know where this came from, but it was
(16:42):
pretty funny. He goes, I like omelets more than six Listen,
let me try to put all this in context for you.
I'm like, I mean, I really.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Like mus I could eat an omelet at every meal.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Was better than sex. Not not really, but you get
the point. I'm my commach. So at the end of
the segment, I said, senator, would you like to revise
and extend your remarks as it relates to omelets. No,
not really, which is what we love about Senator Kennedy.
I think he's the funniest guy in the US Senate
(17:22):
by far, and I'm gonna I'm gonna give his one
more shot. Earlier in the week, I asked Linda, Uh,
if you kick a field ball goal, how many points
do you get? And she said sometimes one, sometimes two?
And I said, wrong, let's play it. I didn't know
what an extra point is. You were going now, you
(17:45):
don't know how many points do you get for a
field How many foot points you get for a field goal?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Sometimes one, sometimes two?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Wrong? Sometimes wrong answer. So so she got because she
got the answer wrong, and it's hard today to get
her to acknowledge that she got it wrong. Would you
like to revise and extend your remarks? Would you like
to dig out of the hole that you dug in
the last hour?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Is this your nice way of saying you're not going
to interrupt me this time, because if it is, I'm
going to take it.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, I asked you how many points you get for
a field goal. There's only one answer. There's not three answers.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You're asking me if I want to revise my answer,
which I can elaborate on my answer and expand upon it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And there's only one answer to that question.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Though, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There's not yes, yes, yes, the field goal. If you
kick a field goal, you get three.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
You're talking about the opportunity you're offering me to expand
upon an answer. I give, not interpret the question you asked.
It's very different.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'll give you. I'll give you one minute to revise
and extent go I don't even need one minute.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
So what I am explaining to the audience, for those
of you who don't know, I am new to football,
is a new thing for me. I make the that's
about it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I've learned football over the course of the past four
to five years, and I'm starting to get my hands
around it. So to me, anything that goes down the
field into the goal area through the uprights is a
field goal, whether and you know it's a touchdown or whatever.
So if you say to me, do you get a
field goal? I'm like, yes, sometimes you get that point
after the touchdown, and it's a good field goal. Get
(19:22):
that two point conversion, which Katie explained isn't a field
goal because it's just a regular point because you can
make it by passing. And then there's the three points
that comes from kicking it. Now I know all the points,
the one point, the two point, the three point. I
just thought they were all different versions of field goals,
not knowing that the word field goal was specific to
(19:43):
just that kick for three points. AnyWho, that's the big thing.
Ya welcome.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You got that done in exactly a minute.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Okay, It's almost like I've worked for you.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Next, your point is not a field goal. A two
point conversion is not a field goal. A field goal
if you kick it has only one answer. You get
three points those of them.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Like I said, we can do potato potato.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I appreciate it. You know, for somebody with as many
master's degrees as you, I.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Don't have a ministers in sports, dude.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It's not but the fact that it's four or five
years you've been watching football, and this.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Is gonna lie I've been this is this is the
first rudimentary that's nonsense. I literally only started watching football.
First of all, I don't watch NFL. I watched college football.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But I am matter. You just can't acknowledge you're right.
I got that answer wrong. You just can't say that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
No, I just use different words. The answer is right,
one two three.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Answer is not right. The answer was wrong. And it's
not that you use different words. It's you didn't know
the answer, and you don't want to admit you didn't
know the answer.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Are you telling me my explanation doesn't make sense?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Your explanation is you sound like a liberal?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
So you answer no question? Are you telling me that
my question doesn't make sense?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I'm telling you your answer doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Yes, see, you can't do it right.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I haven't another question. So I'm going to be making
poor ribs and I'm gonna be making steaks and what else?
Am I mane?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And I have Chicago hot dogs. We're gonna have sausage
and onions. And I don't know if you've ever melted
down velveta cheese and you put in rotel and you
put in ground beef and then you use like, you know,
tortilla chips. Oh, it's so delicious. I'm gonna make that
(21:38):
that's what I have that's on the menu this weekend.
On's on your menu.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So our menu is Liam asked for cheesy broccoli.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I said, okay, cool, No, that's pretty cool. I like that,
which I.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Thought was funny. I said, okay, fine, Minis.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh what kind of cheese are you going to use
for this poor kid? It's gonna suck.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I'm letting him choose, but it's probably going to be American.
He loves American cheese, all right, I know. I mean
that he's the best. My Anthony loves all things steak,
so definitely steak. And then I'm going to make good
buffalo wings but not too spicy, and and a spinach
(22:17):
bowl and the bread ball.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
All right, it's not too bad. It's not so bad, right,
not too bad, It's not too bad.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I mean, I willso have yogurt and granola on the side, because.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're gonna have yogurt and the cal shake and the
orange projected thanks. Yeah, okay, And nobody's going near your
area of wherever you're putting yourn.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
I'll tell you that's why I always have plenty of yogurt.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
All right, let's get to our phones as we head
in a Super Bowl Sunday, Chris and New York. What's up, Chris?
How you doing? Good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Hey, it's great to talk to you. So listen, I
got kind of the two questions for you. The first
one is about the super Bowl. I certainly hope your
preview of your super Bowl commercial and you say, go Bigger,
go Home. I hope that you and Brett have a
little side bet going that, you know, whoever wins the
super Bowl there that you guys have to wear, you know,
(23:13):
a jersey all week long from a different player from
the winning team.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I certainly hoped that that's actually pretty funny. I have
not talked to him about. We had a fun time
making the commercial. We were laughing all the time.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I know, I really enjoyed that. But listen, the most
important question I have is I saw something today with
Maxine Waters that I've found absolutely disgusting. She's on the
steps of the Education Department and there's a man blocking
the door, and she used her power. She'd called the
cameras in and humiliated that man in front of those doors.
(23:50):
Who was you know, that was his job to block
that door. But what gave her the right? She even
asked him to hold his face up to the camera
can see him. And I found what she did, Sean
was absolutely disgusting, and I really think that this needs
to be brought out, what she did and how they
(24:11):
are acting. Is this what the Democratic Party has become
to make? Cannot? Isn't there some way she could be
brought up on charges for humiliating that man for doing
his job and using her power.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And that influenced what I've not seen the video. I'm
writing my TV producer as we speak and seeing if
I can find it for tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Okay, I would really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Because I was in the halls of Congress right she.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Did this right outside the Education building, and I found
what she did was absolutely disgusting, and it was absolutely
and she needs to be brought up on chargers and
that man I think he should be on your show,
and he should be and he should sue her for
what he did.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I could just tell you if you go back and
get in there face and you know all the other
comments that she made and you follow them, and they
can't go anywhere any place, you know, I mean, if
I can you imagine if I ever said any of that,
how the left in this country would react. I wouldn't
never show have a great weekend. I enjoyed the Super Bowl.
(25:17):
My friend Pennsylvania, Robert, I'm assuming you're cheering for the Eagles.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Absolutely not. By the way, you might want to tell Linda,
your producer that the point after touchdown PA T is
what it's technically called, and that's value one point. A
little embarrassing that she's an Eagles fan and doesn't know
that a field goal is only worth three points.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Ooh so you're cheering for Kansas City and you live
in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Are you? Are you a Steelers fan?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
No, no, no, no, Eagles fan all the way, all
my life.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Oh so you're you're pulling for the Eagles this weekend?
Oh of course, of course, yeah, yeah, I got.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You, Linda. Linda is allegedly an Eagles fan, but it's
you know, she doesn't know where to this.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
There's no bigger Broad Street Bullies fan than yours, truly.
Bobby Clark, Reggie Leech, Rick McLeish, Round Dog, Kelly, Dave Schultz,
Burning Paran. I mean, I love that team.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
I know, Bernie. Now you're going back to the early
seventies when they went back to back back Danley Cups.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Remember ed Schneyder on the on the Flyers. One of
the greatest moments in hockey is the Russians came and
they were kicking the ass of all these NHL teams.
And then they went to the Spectrum in Philly and
the Flyers, you know, like from the dropping the puck,
they went hard in the paint and they were kicking
their ass and uh, you know. And meanwhile they were
(26:42):
the Flyers at that time were hated by every other
NHL team because it was so tough, and long story short,
they won the game, they beat the Russians and they
brought back American respect against the Russians at the time.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Well, well, the Russians didn't want to come out after
the the the interval began.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, they left the ice. They quit and then Ed Schneider,
the owner of the Flyers, God rest is solely passed away,
said okay, fine, and not getting paid, and then they
came back out. They wanted the money.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Exactly exactly contractually, you're obligated to play this game, and
they came back out and played anyway. Good interview with
a bb Netanya who thank you last week early part
of the week. It was important, Sean. I'd like to
see and I've been asking for many, many years, way
before this incident of the US say, this has been
(27:30):
going on, you know, probably for the past fifty sixty years.
This is nothing new. You know, the number they've banded
about now is forty two billion dollars. I'm sure it's
in the hundreds of billions of dollars. At the end
of the day, I'm just talking about USA.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
This is one this is one agency. This is hundreds
of billions on this radical woe green New Deal, DEI
transgender abortion agenda. Yeah, I think America is going to
get so angry by the time we get to the
bottom of all this. Forget about the the You think
they hate Elon Musk, Now, just wait, they're gonna hate
(28:05):
him because he's exposing them.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Look, he's just a messenger. He's not a decision maker,
you know, he's merely the messenger. And that's who. They
can't hate Trump anymore than they hate him, So now
they have a secondary person they hate, which is Musk,
the messenger. Why can't the American public have visibility about
where this money is going? I mean blind by line
by line. I think you talked about maybe your twenty
(28:29):
or thirty different accounts that was going into talking about
USA twenty or thirty different accounts you are talking about,
but I'm sure it's hundreds of places where this money
is going to. Nobody has a clue.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You bring up. But you bring up a great point,
and I guarantee you that one of the net results
of this will be transparency in perpetuity. They're not going
to be allowed to steal this money again. They're not
going to be able to abuse us this this way again.
And I'll tell you you know, crats, they are no
longer the party of working men and women because to
(29:04):
take the average Americans taxes, it makes sixty six grand
a year and it can barely you know, make ends
meet because of Harris Biden, inflation and high energy prices.
To take their money and abuse it this way, it
is corruption at a level we've never seen before on
the They have abused the American taxpayer, and frankly, we
(29:26):
deserve to get paid back. We ought to demand that
every one of these countries pay that money back. Anyway, Robert, listen,
good luck to your eagles I'm not highly invested in
the zuper Bo Bowl like like you are. A three
pet would be interesting as hell to me, but I
just hope it's a good game. Eight nine four one, Shawn,
(29:46):
is a number you want to be a part of
the program. Ever since I was able to save even
a little money in my mid to late eight twenties, whenever,
it was because I lived paycheck to paychecked all the
years prior. You know, if somebody got a hold of
me and said, you know what, put a portion of
your savings and go gold and silver. I did that.
And Gold now in the last year has set record
after record after record high, and I've always been glad
(30:09):
that I did. I mean, I have bounced as a
gold that I paid like two hundred dollars for a
little over two hundred dollars. Anyway, this is now. I
still do the same thing today. My company that I
use all the time is gold Co. And the great
thing about gold Co is they want you to do
your due diligence. They want you to be an informed investor,
and they're going to help you be that. They're going
(30:31):
to send you to your free gold and silver kit.
They'll send it directly to your house and it's an
information kit. Do you due diligence and I will tell
you from my personal experience. I've just been glad that
I did it. And because you're a fan of my show,
they're going to fill you in on the details. How
you can qualify for up to ten thousand dollars, how
(30:53):
you can qualify for up to ten percent in an
instant match, and bonus silver plus a free Ronald Reagan
silver core that's absolutely free. Anyway, congrats on taking control
investing in gold silver. Check out our friends at gold
Co and it's really simple. Just go to Hannitygold dot com.
That's hannitygold dot com. Today, Straight from the source, Sean
(31:23):
Hannity talks to the people involved in the big news
stories every day.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Sean Hannity
Going up next our final news roundup and information overload
hour all right, News Roundup and Information Overload. Our toll free,
our number is eight hundred and nine fourt one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well,
we'll get your your favorite food selections for the super
Bowl in our final half hour of the program today.
And you know, if people want to take on Linda
(00:22):
and defend her, they can, even though she didn't know
how many points you get for a field goal. But
we'll get to that later. A big story of the week.
And this, this to me, is actually amazing, and I
think it is such a political miscalculation on the part
of the left to double down on the hundreds of
(00:46):
billions of dollars of waste, fraud, abuse, and just outright corruption.
And I would even use the word stealing your hard
earned tax dollars. The average America makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year. It's not a lot of money. And
those people work hard, played by the rules, obey the laws,
they pay their taxes. And if you ask any America,
(01:07):
I don't care if you're a Democrat Republican live in
a blue state, REDI state doesn't matter. Do you want
to spend twenty million dollars on a Sesame street show
in Iraq or fifty six million to boost Egyptian in
Tunisia tourism, or forty billion building schools in Jordan when
we have failing schools in America. Or eleven million telling
the Vietnamese to stop burning trash, or forty five million
(01:32):
to DEI scholarships in Burma and five hundred and twenty
million dollars for consultant driven ESG investments in Africa. I
have ten pages of this madness. You know, they're paying
taxpayer harder and taxpayer money for DEI musicals in Ireland
and two point five million for electric vehicles in Vietnam.
(01:56):
I mean, this is this is insanity. We're giving money
they've been if it's the Taliban for crying out loud.
You know, forty seven thousand dollars for transgender opera in Colombia,
transgender comic books in Peru, you know DEI programs in Serbia.
It just goes on and on and on. I am
(02:17):
so angry at this. You know, forty four point eight
million for food assist and economic support for Venezuelan illegal
immigrants in Colombia. You got to be kidding me, you know,
six million for the corrupt who for for health coordination
in Gaza. This is this is madness. Twenty four million
(02:39):
for green transportation programs and logistics in Georgia. Twenty nine
million for agricultural trade diversification program in Georgia. You know,
and the money just goes on from there, and it
is absolutely a twenty four million dollar grand for a
green economy program also for Georgia. When does this insanity stop.
(03:03):
Mark Moyer, who's with Hillsdale College and a professor there,
great school, as you know, had written a book Masters
of Corruption, How a federal bureaucracy sabotaged the Trump presidency. Well,
it turns out he was a USAID whistleblower. I had
not heard about him, and anyway, joins us today to
(03:24):
talk about everything that he had learned about us AID
and now that it's come to the forefront in our country.
I got to be honest, doctor Mark, I'm shocked, and
I am angry, and I think every American that pays
taxes should feel like that this should feel as angry
as I feel. But you've known about this for a while,
(03:47):
tell us about your whistleblower status.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, great to be with you, Sean, and yes people
are right to be shocked and angry. And I did
start talking about this before, but when I first started
talking about it that we don't know what USAID is,
and so it's now been thrust into the spotlight and
I think getting the attention it deserved. But yeah, I
was a Trump appoint ee in the first Trump administration
(04:14):
and I went in there and I really didn't know
that much about the place, and so I thought I
was going to be trying to sort of focus on
reorienting towards Trump's priorities. And this was an issue before
where you had people trying to do things that really
weren't in people's interests. But before I really got into that,
I encountered corruption within the office that I was in
(04:37):
charge of, and so I reported that, thinking that they
would take swift action and punish the people involved. But
what happened was they ended up allowing the worst person.
I mean, there were five people I reported. The worst
guy ended up leaving the agency and going to work
at the Department of Defense and keeping his job. In
(04:58):
the meantime, they came after for me suspended my security
clearance on bogus charges that I had disclosed classified information,
and then was put on leave and then ultimately fired.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And this is unfortunately, by the way, aren't there whistleblower
protection laws that should protect you, And if I was you,
I'd be pursuing that and getting your back pay.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, that's partly what I cover. So I go after
I'm fired, I go to the Inspector General, who's supposed
to protect these things, and they tried to claim I
wasn't a whistleblower and that I had not met the standards,
which was ridiculous as well. And then so it gotten
into the public and Senator Graftly then got involved on
(05:41):
my behalf and started asking questions. But when the administration's
turn over, when Samantha Power came in ahead of USCID,
she said, centergraphs and I'm not going to answer any
more questions because I only give that to a committee chair,
and you're no longer a committee chair. So, as you said,
there is this long pattern that they refuse to answer
(06:02):
to even Congress. You know, I actually since had to
sue to try to get the files that they had
on me, because I'm sure they're full of boloney. But
I'm still in court and this is now five years later.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Let me play Samantha Power responding, you know, and trying
to defend the indefensible and the reckless abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Do you think this is a victory for digatious autocratic
regimes around the world who are competing with the US
in Africa, in South America, all around the world for influence.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
What it's not even an opinion. They are out relishing
this moment and celebrating it, including a statement, an official
statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry today. So this is
a disaster, not just from a humanitarian standpoint, from the
standpoint of all the beneficiaries who may in fact die
because they won't have access to US resources. But it's
(07:00):
a disaster for US national interests in national security.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
They're going to die in New yor is that no?
Because they're paying for New Green dealism, worldwide woke programs,
world wide transgenderism, DEI abortion programs. And this has nothing
to do with what she's describing. She's just flat out lying.
In my view, Do you agree with me based on
(07:26):
the knowledge of how the money is spent?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, I mean, when she came in, she pushed to
have DEI gender climate change infused into just about everything
the agency does. And so she, in fact, probably more
than anyone else, deserves the blame for what's happening because
the taxpayers, Congress, and President Trump is fed up. And
(07:51):
so that's why you're seeing finally they're going to they're
really taking charge and forcing the agency to turn over
all this information that will eventually expose all the bad
things that have happened.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I mean, you've heard this all week that they're just
losing their mind. Why do they care? You know, why
would they want to die on this hill? Now there
are a few Democrats. John Fetterman is one, David Axelrod
is another. Rom Rombo Deadfish Emmanuel is another. James Carvill
is another. And he's saying, they're all saying to the Democrats,
(08:26):
are you really that stupid the American Do you think
the American people want hundreds of billions of dollars in waste,
fraud and abuse and foreign aid spent on these you know,
radical agenda items? Are you really that out of touch?
But based on the recent election of the Democratic leadership
the Democratic National Committee, I imagine that they probably they're
(08:51):
not going to change at all. They haven't learned a
thing from this election.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well, I think you've got two things that play. One
is you've got some ideological fanatics who's think DEI has
to be everywhere and they will do whatever they can that.
The other part of it those you also have greed
and what you see with USA, it has a forty
two billion dollar budget and so far we're just seeing
the tip of the iceberg. But what we're going to find,
what we've already started to see, is that much of
(09:16):
this money finds its way to contractors or NGOs that
are overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats, and so they have a
financial stake in this. And that's partly why I think
you're seeing so much backlash.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. So your case moves forward, you
expose all of this. You see the reaction this week.
Did you know how bad it was? Did you know
it was this bad?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I knew it was pretty bad. But I think we're
going to get more. You know, I didn't think by
the way, this.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is only one agency. That's the most amazing part of this.
This is just the beginning, am my mind.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, Yeah, and it's really been remarkable was that they've
been able to go in and get all the files
because of the first Trump administration. When I was there,
we could never get our hands on everything because the
bureaucrats found ways to hide it. And so we saw
last week they went to the Office of Security and
asked for complete control of the files and had to
threaten to bring in the US Marshals, and they end
(10:19):
up removing the head of the Security Office. But now
we're really going to get to see what's going on,
and I think we're going to find some even more
stunning instances of corruption and ideological abuse.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with
doctor Mark Moyer. He's been a whistleblower. He was blowing
the whistle on USAID or USAID for a long time.
He wrote the book Masters, a Corruption how the federal
bureaucracy sabotaged the Trump presidency. And sadly he's now involved
in a lawsuit because he wasn't given the proper whistleblower
(10:55):
of protections he deserved. More with him on the other
side than your calls. Continue with doctor Mark Moyer. He's
a USAID whistleblower, a big story of the week, and
he's been ahead of the curve, and even he didn't
know how bad this was, but he's paid a dear
personal price for trying to expose all this. Who were
the people responsible after you came forward to expose this?
(11:19):
Do you know the people that were responsible for taking
away your security clearance even though you were trying to
call attention to waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yes, I have a pretty good idea and to cover
this a lot in the book. But what appears to
have happened is the person who one of the corrupt
people I reported, convinced somebody at the Department of Defense
to claim that I had published classified information in a
book that had come out two years earlier and had
been submitted through pre publication review in accordance with the
(11:52):
nonisclosure agreements. And then they put me on leave based
on that investigated and then came back and said, well,
we aren't going to turn over evidence as due process
would suggest, but basically we're going to take this accusation
from the Defense Department is gospel. We don't have to
dispute it. And they use that to fire me, which,
(12:12):
of course, just well wait a.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Minute, pre publication review means that before your book is
ever published, that you give it to the respective agencies
and they go they're supposed to go over it with
a fine tooth calm, and then they're supposed to sign
off on the content to make sure that there is
not anything top secret or anything classified in that book.
(12:35):
And they gave you the sign off on the book
that you eventually published. Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yes, Well, it's a little more complicated that. So the
Defense Department is notorious for just stonewalling. So the non
disclosure agreement is for thirty day thirty working days. After
seven months, they still hadn't gotten around to it, and
they just kept saying we need more time, which is
you know, that's sort of a form of censorship if
you try to withhold permission. So there's a regulation that
(13:01):
says you can give them thirty days notice that you're
going to publish it, and if they still want to
dispute it, they can take you to court.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So I gave them, Yeah, but you gave them every
opportunity to go through the book with a fine tooth
called me. It sounds like you gave them eight months
or even longer, and so they don't have an excuse
to say that they didn't have an opportunity to, you know,
request that something be taken out of the book.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
That's correct. I mean they had a whole year to
raise complaints. It's never said a word. And then too,
you know, two years go by and don't hear a
peep on it. And then all of a sudden, after
I've reported this corruption, they bring this up. And this
of course is a standard tactic of trying to come
up with some ridiculous excuse to target somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Well, well, glad you're out there. We appreciate your courage
and coming forward and really being the tip of the
sphere and exposing USAID or USAID for all of this money,
the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars just poured down
the sewer. And every American should be outraged, every working
(14:08):
man and woman in this country that works so hard
and pays all their taxes. They have no respect for
the American taxpayer to do this to them, and you know,
to advance their radical agenda anyway, Mark appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Eight hundred and nine four one Sean if you want
to be a part of the program, Alec Baldwin's favorite
(14:35):
radio fuck show host is on the air right now, right,
mister Baldwin's Sean Hennedy. Al right, twenty five till the
top of the hours. We head into Super Bowl Sunday weekend,
and I know a lot of you looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Look, in this tough economy, you got to save money
anyway you can. We're still living under the Biden Harris
economic policy. We need the reconciliation fast out of Congress.
Probably won't get it till May or June. That's just
how long the process takes, unfortunately. But you need to
save money. And one way to save money not sacrifice
(15:13):
service is with my cell phone provider, and that is
Pure Talk. And the beauty of Pure Talk. You use
the same exact cell towers as AT and T, Verizon
and T Mobile, the big carriers, the same cell towers,
the same five G network. You get the exact same
service for about half the price, and they have the
same deals that the big carriers have. If, for example,
(15:35):
if you want a free phone, an iPhone fourteen Samsung Galaxy,
you'll get it for free with Pure Talk with a
qualifying planet just forty five dollars a month. Big carriers
usually charge one hundred and a thirty five dollars activation fee. Anyway,
you get premium service that will include unlimited talk and
text and twenty five gigs of data mobile hotspot roaming
(15:59):
at less than half up the price. I mean, you
can get a better deal than that. Now, it's simple
to get your free phone. You just dial pound two
fifty on your cell. You say the keyword saved. Now
pound two fifty, keywords saved. Now claim your new iPhone
or Galaxy with a qualifying purchase from our friends, a
veteran owned company, Pure Talk. They're America's wireless company, the
(16:21):
same exact service. So follow me on this, Senator Kennedy, Louisiana.
Wait to get back to a little bit of super
Bowl talk, then we'll get to the phones. Eight hundred
and nine to four one. Seawan was on the show
this week on TV. He says at one point, and
I don't know where this came from, but it was
(16:42):
pretty funny. He goes, I like omelets more than six Listen,
let me try to put all this in context for you.
I'm like, I mean, I really.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Like mus I could eat an omelet at every meal.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Was better than sex. Not not really, but you get
the point. I'm my commach. So at the end of
the segment, I said, senator, would you like to revise
and extend your remarks as it relates to omelets. No,
not really, which is what we love about Senator Kennedy.
I think he's the funniest guy in the US Senate
(17:22):
by far, and I'm gonna I'm gonna give his one
more shot. Earlier in the week, I asked Linda, Uh,
if you kick a field ball goal, how many points
do you get? And she said sometimes one, sometimes two?
And I said, wrong, let's play it. I didn't know
what an extra point is. You were going now, you
(17:45):
don't know how many points do you get for a
field How many foot points you get for a field goal?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Sometimes one, sometimes two?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Wrong? Sometimes wrong answer. So so she got because she
got the answer wrong, and it's hard today to get
her to acknowledge that she got it wrong. Would you
like to revise and extend your remarks? Would you like
to dig out of the hole that you dug in
the last hour?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Is this your nice way of saying you're not going
to interrupt me this time, because if it is, I'm
going to take it.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, I asked you how many points you get for
a field goal. There's only one answer. There's not three answers.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You're asking me if I want to revise my answer,
which I can elaborate on my answer and expand upon it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And there's only one answer to that question.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Though, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There's not yes, yes, yes, the field goal. If you
kick a field goal, you get three.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
You're talking about the opportunity you're offering me to expand
upon an answer. I give, not interpret the question you asked.
It's very different.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'll give you. I'll give you one minute to revise
and extent go I don't even need one minute.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
So what I am explaining to the audience, for those
of you who don't know, I am new to football,
is a new thing for me. I make the that's
about it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I've learned football over the course of the past four
to five years, and I'm starting to get my hands
around it. So to me, anything that goes down the
field into the goal area through the uprights is a
field goal, whether and you know it's a touchdown or whatever.
So if you say to me, do you get a
field goal? I'm like, yes, sometimes you get that point
after the touchdown, and it's a good field goal. Get
(19:22):
that two point conversion, which Katie explained isn't a field
goal because it's just a regular point because you can
make it by passing. And then there's the three points
that comes from kicking it. Now I know all the points,
the one point, the two point, the three point. I
just thought they were all different versions of field goals,
not knowing that the word field goal was specific to
(19:43):
just that kick for three points. AnyWho, that's the big thing.
Ya welcome.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You got that done in exactly a minute.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Okay, It's almost like I've worked for you.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Next, your point is not a field goal. A two
point conversion is not a field goal. A field goal
if you kick it has only one answer. You get
three points those of them.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Like I said, we can do potato potato.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I appreciate it. You know, for somebody with as many
master's degrees as you, I.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Don't have a ministers in sports, dude.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It's not but the fact that it's four or five
years you've been watching football, and this.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Is gonna lie I've been this is this is the
first rudimentary that's nonsense. I literally only started watching football.
First of all, I don't watch NFL. I watched college football.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But I am matter. You just can't acknowledge you're right.
I got that answer wrong. You just can't say that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
No, I just use different words. The answer is right,
one two three.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Answer is not right. The answer was wrong. And it's
not that you use different words. It's you didn't know
the answer, and you don't want to admit you didn't
know the answer.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Are you telling me my explanation doesn't make sense?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Your explanation is you sound like a liberal?
Speaker 6 (21:01):
So you answer no question? Are you telling me that
my question doesn't make sense?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I'm telling you your answer doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
Yes, see, you can't do it right.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I haven't another question. So I'm going to be making
poor ribs and I'm gonna be making steaks and what else?
Am I mane?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And I have Chicago hot dogs. We're gonna have sausage
and onions. And I don't know if you've ever melted
down velveta cheese and you put in rotel and you
put in ground beef and then you use like, you know,
tortilla chips. Oh, it's so delicious. I'm gonna make that
(21:38):
that's what I have that's on the menu this weekend.
On's on your menu.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So our menu is Liam asked for cheesy broccoli.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I said, okay, cool, No, that's pretty cool. I like that,
which I.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Thought was funny. I said, okay, fine, Minis.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh what kind of cheese are you going to use
for this poor kid? It's gonna suck.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I'm letting him choose, but it's probably going to be American.
He loves American cheese, all right, I know. I mean
that he's the best. My Anthony loves all things steak,
so definitely steak. And then I'm going to make good
buffalo wings but not too spicy, and and a spinach
(22:17):
bowl and the bread ball.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
All right, it's not too bad. It's not so bad, right,
not too bad, It's not too bad.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I mean, I willso have yogurt and granola on the side, because.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're gonna have yogurt and the cal shake and the
orange projected thanks. Yeah, okay, And nobody's going near your
area of wherever you're putting yourn.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
I'll tell you that's why I always have plenty of yogurt.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
All right, let's get to our phones as we head
in a Super Bowl Sunday, Chris and New York. What's up, Chris?
How you doing? Good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Hey, it's great to talk to you. So listen, I
got kind of the two questions for you. The first
one is about the super Bowl. I certainly hope your
preview of your super Bowl commercial and you say, go Bigger,
go Home. I hope that you and Brett have a
little side bet going that, you know, whoever wins the
super Bowl there that you guys have to wear, you know,
(23:13):
a jersey all week long from a different player from
the winning team.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I certainly hoped that that's actually pretty funny. I have
not talked to him about. We had a fun time
making the commercial. We were laughing all the time.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I know, I really enjoyed that. But listen, the most
important question I have is I saw something today with
Maxine Waters that I've found absolutely disgusting. She's on the
steps of the Education Department and there's a man blocking
the door, and she used her power. She'd called the
cameras in and humiliated that man in front of those doors.
(23:50):
Who was you know, that was his job to block
that door. But what gave her the right? She even
asked him to hold his face up to the camera
can see him. And I found what she did, Sean
was absolutely disgusting, and I really think that this needs
to be brought out, what she did and how they
(24:11):
are acting. Is this what the Democratic Party has become
to make? Cannot? Isn't there some way she could be
brought up on charges for humiliating that man for doing
his job and using her power.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And that influenced what I've not seen the video. I'm
writing my TV producer as we speak and seeing if
I can find it for tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Okay, I would really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Because I was in the halls of Congress right she.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Did this right outside the Education building, and I found
what she did was absolutely disgusting, and it was absolutely
and she needs to be brought up on chargers and
that man I think he should be on your show,
and he should be and he should sue her for
what he did.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I could just tell you if you go back and
get in there face and you know all the other
comments that she made and you follow them, and they
can't go anywhere any place, you know, I mean, if
I can you imagine if I ever said any of that,
how the left in this country would react. I wouldn't
never show have a great weekend. I enjoyed the Super Bowl.
(25:17):
My friend Pennsylvania, Robert, I'm assuming you're cheering for the Eagles.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Absolutely not. By the way, you might want to tell Linda,
your producer that the point after touchdown PA T is
what it's technically called, and that's value one point. A
little embarrassing that she's an Eagles fan and doesn't know
that a field goal is only worth three points.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Ooh so you're cheering for Kansas City and you live
in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Are you? Are you a Steelers fan?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
No, no, no, no, Eagles fan all the way, all
my life.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Oh so you're you're pulling for the Eagles this weekend?
Oh of course, of course, yeah, yeah, I got.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You, Linda. Linda is allegedly an Eagles fan, but it's
you know, she doesn't know where to this.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
There's no bigger Broad Street Bullies fan than yours, truly.
Bobby Clark, Reggie Leech, Rick McLeish, Round Dog, Kelly, Dave Schultz,
Burning Paran. I mean, I love that team.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
I know, Bernie. Now you're going back to the early
seventies when they went back to back back Danley Cups.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Remember ed Schneyder on the on the Flyers. One of
the greatest moments in hockey is the Russians came and
they were kicking the ass of all these NHL teams.
And then they went to the Spectrum in Philly and
the Flyers, you know, like from the dropping the puck,
they went hard in the paint and they were kicking
their ass and uh, you know. And meanwhile they were
(26:42):
the Flyers at that time were hated by every other
NHL team because it was so tough, and long story short,
they won the game, they beat the Russians and they
brought back American respect against the Russians at the time.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Well, well, the Russians didn't want to come out after
the the the interval began.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, they left the ice. They quit and then Ed Schneider,
the owner of the Flyers, God rest is solely passed away,
said okay, fine, and not getting paid, and then they
came back out. They wanted the money.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Exactly exactly contractually, you're obligated to play this game, and
they came back out and played anyway. Good interview with
a bb Netanya who thank you last week early part
of the week. It was important, Sean. I'd like to
see and I've been asking for many, many years, way
before this incident of the US say, this has been
(27:30):
going on, you know, probably for the past fifty sixty years.
This is nothing new. You know, the number they've banded
about now is forty two billion dollars. I'm sure it's
in the hundreds of billions of dollars. At the end
of the day, I'm just talking about USA.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
This is one this is one agency. This is hundreds
of billions on this radical woe green New Deal, DEI
transgender abortion agenda. Yeah, I think America is going to
get so angry by the time we get to the
bottom of all this. Forget about the the You think
they hate Elon Musk, Now, just wait, they're gonna hate
(28:05):
him because he's exposing them.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Look, he's just a messenger. He's not a decision maker,
you know, he's merely the messenger. And that's who. They
can't hate Trump anymore than they hate him, So now
they have a secondary person they hate, which is Musk,
the messenger. Why can't the American public have visibility about
where this money is going? I mean blind by line
by line. I think you talked about maybe your twenty
(28:29):
or thirty different accounts that was going into talking about
USA twenty or thirty different accounts you are talking about,
but I'm sure it's hundreds of places where this money
is going to. Nobody has a clue.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You bring up. But you bring up a great point,
and I guarantee you that one of the net results
of this will be transparency in perpetuity. They're not going
to be allowed to steal this money again. They're not
going to be able to abuse us this this way again.
And I'll tell you you know, crats, they are no
longer the party of working men and women because to
(29:04):
take the average Americans taxes, it makes sixty six grand
a year and it can barely you know, make ends
meet because of Harris Biden, inflation and high energy prices.
To take their money and abuse it this way, it
is corruption at a level we've never seen before on
the They have abused the American taxpayer, and frankly, we
(29:26):
deserve to get paid back. We ought to demand that
every one of these countries pay that money back. Anyway, Robert, listen,
good luck to your eagles I'm not highly invested in
the zuper Bo Bowl like like you are. A three
pet would be interesting as hell to me, but I
just hope it's a good game. Eight nine four one, Shawn,
(29:46):
is a number you want to be a part of
the program. Ever since I was able to save even
a little money in my mid to late eight twenties, whenever,
it was because I lived paycheck to paychecked all the
years prior. You know, if somebody got a hold of
me and said, you know what, put a portion of
your savings and go gold and silver. I did that.
And Gold now in the last year has set record
after record after record high, and I've always been glad
(30:09):
that I did. I mean, I have bounced as a
gold that I paid like two hundred dollars for a
little over two hundred dollars. Anyway, this is now. I
still do the same thing today. My company that I
use all the time is gold Co. And the great
thing about gold Co is they want you to do
your due diligence. They want you to be an informed investor,
and they're going to help you be that. They're going
(30:31):
to send you to your free gold and silver kit.
They'll send it directly to your house and it's an
information kit. Do you due diligence and I will tell
you from my personal experience. I've just been glad that
I did it. And because you're a fan of my show,
they're going to fill you in on the details. How
you can qualify for up to ten thousand dollars, how
(30:53):
you can qualify for up to ten percent in an
instant match, and bonus silver plus a free Ronald Reagan
silver core that's absolutely free. Anyway, congrats on taking control
investing in gold silver. Check out our friends at gold
