Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, glad you with a slight ground to cover today. Oh,
Governor Cuomo's in trouble, will get to that. And I
would imagine lawsuits are pending. And apparently the nursing home
death issue is ooh, they only reported about half of
what really happened. That's not gonna end well. So many

(00:20):
friends are just obsessed of It's kind of like a
David Goliath battle going on Wall Street. And I'm not
gonna lie. I'm kind of enjoying the hell because I'm
not the biggest fan of Wall Street. I'm gonna be
honest here, I'm kind of enjoying the hell out of it,
just laughing at it all because it's it's kind of

(00:43):
fascinating to watch. And I'm you know, if I have
enough friends in at work in this industry, and they're
gonna be mad at me for saying all this, but
and they do great work. They do great things. They
help people say for their retirement. This isn't my wheelhouse.
It's not what I do. I'm trying to explain on
the air before. I've had so many people from the

(01:03):
earliest days of cryptocurrency and bitcoin try to explain to
me what it is, and I said, okay, I understand cryptocurrency,
all right, and I understand you don't pay fees. I
get that part, and I understand there's a finite amount
of bitcoin available. My brain can comprehend that. And this
is where you begin to lose me. And I say, okay,

(01:24):
we'll explain. You know, how is it that it keeps
growing and growing and the money's involved? If you got
a limited finite amount, it's like, okay, there's only x
number of tons of gold x number of ounces of gold. Okay.
And then I say, no, it's simple. It's an algorithm.
I say, okay, I know what an algorithm is technically,
but I really don't. It's not my wheelhouse either. Well

(01:45):
you know, it's a math equation. I said, okay, I
can understand that too. And then I'll say okay, so
then I understand there's only so much of it. Some
of it apparently has been lost and we'll never be
able to mind them back again, which is a fascinating
sidebar to that. And then I'll say, we'll explain the
next part of it. How come it keeps? You keep saying, well,
it'll go down for a period. Then it's gonna go

(02:07):
up and you're gonna add a couple of zeros to it.
I'm like, why explain that part to me? Well, because
there's only so much of it and it's part of
the algorithm. I'm like, well, why is it growing? Then?
Why is the demand increasing? Demand? Supply demand, crisscross dictate
prices it that's simple. I just don't. I don't ultimately

(02:27):
wrap my mind around the algorithm, the math part, and
there's never a finite answer, final answer to the math
equation as well. The math equation keeps going on. I'm like,
but why why do you explain why if it's a
finite amount, there should be one settled on price. Maybe
it's altered or changed on any given day depending on
what the demand is versus the supply, And it just

(02:50):
gets interesting. So I've just kind of stayed out of it.
And I know I have friends that have made a
lot of money doing it. It's not my thing. I'm
not the biggest fan in Wall Street. I don't have
a lot of exposure there, and it's just my own
personal appetite. I think money is too hard to earn
and save, and you know, my blue collar roots kick
in every day and it's like, Okay, ding ding ding

(03:12):
ding ding doesn't make sense, don't feel like getting involved,
but watching this is fun. I mean, Wall Street's losing
its mind. And so a lot of these hedge funds
do something called they short sell a stock. In other words,
they're betting that the stock price is going to go down.
Now you might say that's a horrible thing. Actually my

(03:33):
understanding is it's necessary for the balance of moneys and
investments to go on in Wall Street. Okay, so it's
the shortest stock you have to You don't own the stock.
You have to borrow the stock. You pay the person
that owns it. You borrow it, but you gotta pay
it back. And you're betting the stock price goes down.
If it goes down, you get paid the difference. And
there are people making billions and billions of dollars, a

(03:55):
lot of these big hedge funds making billions of dollars
doing exactly that. Okay, get that part of it too. Now,
there are people that are independent, and what they do
is they they go on these other sites. I guess
a merrit trade is probably one Reddit as one you
probably have heard a lot about. And anyway, so you

(04:16):
have investors not part of these massive, huge, big hedge funds.
They start chatting it up, and a lot of them
very cleverly, smartly figured out that a lot of the
hedge funds were actually shorting stocks that didn't exist. In

(04:36):
other words, you can't short stocks that aren't in existence.
So in some cases they've figured out. And the one
you probably heard the most about was game Stop or
BlackBerry or you know, there's one other one that they've
been all all gung ho about. It escapes me at
the top of the moment. But anyway, so what they
figured is, yeah, AMC, that's the one. So they figured out, oh,

(05:00):
hang on a second, they're actually shorting stock at one
hundred forty percent. In other words, you only have a
hundred stock, they're shorting one hundred and forty. Well, the
forty are don't even exist. So they gang together, they
got together, a bunch of investors independence and they do it.
It's smart for them if they're good at it. It's
smart for them because they're not paying every time they

(05:21):
buy and sell a stock. And a lot of people
will buy a stock and they're watching it so closely
it hits their price point. Boom they're selling it that second,
and if you're good at it, you can actually make
money at it. It's not my cup of tea. And
so they figured out these big hedge funds had done
this companies like Melvin Capital, and that they were hedge

(05:42):
you know, that they were short stocking the limit. Now
it's impacting other small companies. Long story short you see
a stock that was worth five bucks a share recently,
you know, I think today at one point, Linda correct
me if I'm wrong, it was at like four hundred
and eighty bucks. Yeah. Man, it's crazy. I mean, it's
just it's so for me, it's kind of like David

(06:04):
and Goliath. And I think there's a lot of resentment
out there because a lot of the short selling that
goes on for companies that aren't huge companies but are
on the stock market on the exchange. This can have
a negative impact to short selling. You know, if all
these hedge funds are bett and you're gonna lose, you're
going down, then it doesn't create the competence of the

(06:27):
other people that buy into the stock market hoping their
pick that they're going to actually go up and that
they'll make money. And where it gets even more interesting
is that now the government actually did there all of
a sudden, these hedge funds they never want government regulation,
these massive hedge funds. You know, they have the freedom

(06:48):
to talk among themselves and trade tips and ideas and
a lot of it. In the end, can kind of
I would use the term in my term Layman's term.
I'm not accusing anybody, kind of it seems pretty manipulative
to the market to me. And then the stock prices
of an innocent small guy gets driven down and that
hurts their business. And then all of a sudden you

(07:10):
have independence joining together, sharing information and making a decision
that they're going to take on these guys. And now
all of a sudden they want, you know, want to
cry foul and bring in government regulators because a bunch
of people that are pissed off at the hedge funds
finally figured out a way and to get them back.

(07:30):
I mean, it's pretty fascinating. And this Melvin one, I
guess when under they got out of that industry. It's
just interesting to watch. We'll talk Steve. I brought Steve
Moore on the program today. He's coming on with us
and he's gonna probably do a much better job explaining
all of that to you. But it's kind of cool
to watch and see. It. Just is my only advice

(07:51):
on investing to any of you out there is money's
hard to earn, hard to come by. I don't have
a lot of faith, trust, hope in the market. It's
not been my big indicator over the years of economic success.
It certainly can be a big indicator in terms of
the health of the economy, but there is this exuberance
factor that can sometimes take over. I will say this,

(08:12):
and nobody's really talking about there are going to be people,
including those independents, that are going to get caught here
and they're gonna lose money. And the money is going
to be real, and it's going to be significant because
these prices are going to come back down to normal anyway,
So we'll get to that now. I find this pretty amazing.
When liberals start attacking each other, you always got to

(08:35):
stand back and don't get in a way, don't be
the referee. Let it go on. And right now that's
happening because the New York Times editorial board, they write
this editorial piece criticizing Biden's executive orders now to be
very straightforward. If you look at the executive orders under Biden,

(08:57):
this guy has signed what thirty two executive orders in
his first week. I think we're up to thirty three
now total. And that number is more than triple the
number of orders of the previous three presidents Bush, the
forty three, Obama and Trump combined. It's another words, triple
what they signed in their first weeks in office combined,

(09:20):
according to the Federal Register. Now, the other side of
this is Joe Biden was the one telling us that
we're a democracy and not a dictatorship, and I gotta
get the votes. How do I know he said it
because I have the tape play it. I gotta get
the votes. I gotta get the votes. That's why, you
know the one thing, and I have this strange notion

(09:42):
we are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and
some of my Democratic friends even occasionally say, well, if
you can't get the votes by executive order, you're going
to do something things that can't do by executive order
unless you're a dictator. We're a democracy and we need consensus.
So in the mildest of criticism the New York Times,
you might want to ease up on the executive actions, Joe,

(10:06):
and just for saying that they're now facing a backlash
from the radical left. I mean, they just couldn't have
been nicer or kinder in all of this. I mean,
it's just maddening. I went back. I actually pulled the headlines,
you know, from the New York Times this year impeached
Trump again. Trump is to blame for the Capitol attack

(10:28):
that's only recently when it first got into office. Donald
Trump's Mexico tantrum, mister Trump's random insult to diplomacy, a
troubled president, this is first month in office. The media
is a satisfying target. Trump's threat to europe security, Trump's
reckless shame game. I mean, that's been the entire coverage

(10:54):
of the entire New York Times, every second, minute, hour
of every day. And the New York Times says, yeah,
you have tripled the amount of your three predecessors. You said,
this is a democracy, not a dictatorship, and I need
to get the votes. And you're not out there getting
the votes, Joe. And that's a big problem. And on

(11:16):
top of it all, you want to know, you wanted
to find what elitism in America is just listen to
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and watch tens and tens
of thousands of American families out of work, out of jobs,
only to be lectured by the private jet flying owning
John Kerry, we want going to get other jobs in

(11:40):
the clean energy sector. Well, they're not going to be
working next week, mister Kerry. And if you really cared
about carbon footprints, you want to be this climate czar,
maybe it's time for you to make a show by
example and dismantle your private jet, not sell it. No,
if you sell it, somebody else will be polluting the roment.
They'll be leaving a big carbon footprint. No, no, no.

(12:03):
If you're a really true blue and sincere tore the cause,
I think you need to give it up. Also, I'd
like to see a pledge from all these Cabinet secretaries
because we the taxpayers. You may not know this, we
actually put the bill for entire fleets of private jets
so that all of these cabinet members can fly around
wherever they need to go, whenever they want to go somewhere.

(12:25):
Speaker Pelosi flew on a private jet when she's Speaker
of the House. Remember that little controversy they came up.
I mean, then you got Pete Buddha Judge, a man
full of so much of life's experience, lecturing people we
want you to get other good union jobs. Well, it's
nice to say, but the guys with the good union
jobs that got their pink slips, how are they going

(12:47):
to pay the mortgage, the rent, their car, their truck payment,
how are they going to fund their healthcare? And what
are they going to do for their retirement and the
kids education fund? Because they're not working with your callous statement.
And the only one that was halfway honest about it, yeah,
we're gonna have to sacrifice some jobs was Grant Jennifer Granhall.
At least she was a little honest about it. But

(13:09):
they're trying to say, no, we're getting other green new
jobs to people that got pink slips. They're out of work.
They're not getting a paycheck anymore, they don't have money
to pay. You know, the unemployments not gonna cut it.
It's tiny percentage of their income. But with a callousness
and a heartlessness I've never seen, and stupidity on top

(13:30):
of it. Now we're gonna be dependent on the lifeblood
of the world's economy. Oh, we're gonna make China rich again.
They hate us. We're gonna make Middle Eastern countries that
hate US rich again. Hostile regimes like China, Russia or
ran they're all gonna be getting rich because we have
artificially reduced the supply, which will increase the price, which
means it's bad for national security, and it's also bad

(13:52):
for our gas tanks. And we'll be paying higher prices
at the pump and higher eating bills. Oh so much
for caring about we the people. All right, eight hundred
time for one sean tell free number. I know a
lot of the you ask what are we gonna do?
What can we do? What can we do? The single
best thing you gotta do now is stay engaged most

(14:12):
and I'll tell you also at the local level, you're
gonna see attorneys general, like in the case of Texas,
they stopped the Biden executive order on immigration. They were successful.
One thing the President Trump did that his predecessor Barack
Obama did not do, is he filled all these vacancies
on the court, apparently with very young people, meaning they're

(14:33):
going to be there for a long time, at least
assuming they'll be there a long time. And it's also
going to be the things, for example, election integrity confidence
for your state. That's a state legislator's role. If Pennsylvania's
creating laws that violate their own constitution, they need to

(14:54):
resolve that. If Wisconsin and Michigan don't allow mail and vote,
they need to resolve the issue before the next election.
And the time to start talking about it is not
during the next election. They got to do it now,
as the Supreme Court Justice Chief Justice said and stinging rebuke.
Unless we have the courage to face this and change

(15:16):
this and deal with this, it's just going to keep happening.
Issues will happen, and Georgia signature verification issues and all
the things that we had discussed at the time. Now
is the time to be communicating with them. And also
I'm telling they're overreaching so far, so fast, and just
bypassing norms reconciliation to push budgets. We're going to pack

(15:38):
the courts. We'll have a commission. It's all happening twenty
five till the top of the hour. Joe Biden's war
on hard working men and women and jobs in America,
that's exactly what it is, you know, canceling Keystone XEL pipeline.
That's eleven thousand jobs, mostly for union workers. Biden ordering

(16:00):
a sixty days suspension of new drilling permits on US
lands and water for to allow review for the impact.
These are real, high paying career jobs. Now, the American
Petroleum Institute, their estimate is the drilling man will cost
the US to economy and all said and done, seven

(16:22):
hundred billion dollars and kill nearly a million jobs by
the end of the next year. They can't back that up. Okay,
if one job is lost here, there's tens and tens
of thousands we know that are going to happen. Surrounding
businesses will be impacted greatly as well. What needs to
be done that would be And by the way, John

(16:45):
Kerry even admitted to taking the US to zero carbon
admissions tomorrow, you know, rather than twenty fifty wait, wouldn't
even remotely stop climate change. They get back in the
Paris Climate Accords. And what happens, Well, China's recognized as
a developing nation. They're not paying the price we are India,
same thing. Other quotes still developing nations. You know, excuse me,

(17:10):
maybe maybe you ought to persuade them to do it
first before we sign on to something that's stupid. This
isn't America first anymore. Tell you that Russia does great
under these new deals, these executive orders. Same with Iran,
same Middle Eastern countries, many of which hate US. China
does great in this too. The American taxpayer filling up

(17:34):
a gas tank, peating your home. You're all going to
pay more. And we see the Biden administration paused armsels
to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. What because they made
a piece alliance with Israel. And we saw what happened
on day one with the Twitter handle of the Israeli
ambassador people asking what we can do well. The Texas A. G. Paxton,

(17:57):
you know, he literally discussed the federal judge's decision to
order this temporary hold on Biden's one hundred day deportation freeze.
This is what attorneys general ought to be doing all
over the country. We brought the lawsuit. We had an
agreement with Texas and Homeland Security they wouldn't make any
major shifts in immigration without giving us sufficient notice to adjust.

(18:20):
Federal law specifically requires deportations take place if people are
here illegally, So Joe Biden is ignoring the law what's
been passed by another branch of Congress. That would be unconstitutional.
You don't take on the role of the legislative branch
with through executive fiat. And that message needs to be

(18:42):
sent by other attorneys generals. Group of Red state attorney
generals have now served notice on the Biden administration on
these executive orders. Remember President Trump signed just six during
the same period Obama five, more than three times of
the prior three presidents. Pretty unbelievable to me, you know.

(19:06):
And then you look at not only the two trillion
dollars beginning price tag for this new Green Deal madness.
We got celebrities Joe Biden loves. They're lobbying for twenty
four hundred dollars per month, a marshal plan for moms payments,
now already given two thousand dollars relief for COVID, on
top of other moneies that have been rightly appropriately necessary,

(19:28):
needed and already gone out and anyway suggesting, and they
go on to say that the federal government should be
paying moms and by the way, hard hard work. No
one's disagreeing for their unseen, unpaid labor, comparing it to
the Marshal Plan in nineteen forty eight that gave European

(19:48):
countries financial help after they were devastated after World War Two. Okay,
how much is that going to cost? Congressman Castro at
Texas is urging Biden to allow doctor recipients to get
healthcare coverage, and who's gonna pay for that? Any illegal
immigrants are going to get healthcare coverage, who's gonna pay

(20:10):
for that too? Democrats plan to fight child poverty. That
I was suggesting monthly cash payment for children. Okay. A
plan says that drafting a proposal to expand and transform
the longstanding tax credit per children, normally taken once a
year at tax time, into a monthly payment two hundred

(20:31):
and fifty bucks a month per child, three hundred bucks
a month per kid under eight six. Okay, it's like
an allowance for children. I mean it all sounds great.
Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money.
Margaret Thatcher famously warned Democrats are always generous with other
people's money. And of course, rolling back abortion rules, that's

(20:54):
standard procedure for liberal Democrats. But solar jobs it's a
better choice for workers. I don't don't worry you'll be
out of work, but you're helping the environment grant home
even suggesting that that's going to happen. I mean, you know,
you got tens of thousands of jobs destroyed. Our reliance
on foreign energy now will be going through the roof,

(21:15):
and that's not good for national security. Gas prices will
be higher, home heating prices will be higher. What else
do we see troops forced to sleep in parking garages,
ramping up tensions in the Middle East? Again unbelievable. Well,
we're upset. Donald Trump set out a tweet told people

(21:36):
to peacefully and patriotically let their voices be heard at
the Capitol and have that. That's our first order of business.
An The lawsuit filed is challenging Biden's public land leasing
ban thirty three point five billion lost GDP in the
first term across eight states that was put together by

(21:56):
the Western Energy Alliance. These are people that know their industry.
Governor Insley Washington actually suggesting climate moves costing jobs, Well,
you don't want to shackle kids to deadweight of jobs
that won't exist in the future. We're doing you a
favor by getting rid of your one hundred thousand dollars
a year career. Hunger is on the rise in America.

(22:20):
Maybe instead of a predetermined conclusion on impeachment, maybe they
can focus on that because you have more American people
lining up for food. I know for a fact in
my own my own town, I have friends working in
the food pantry. Try to help them out too. Anyway,
now you have people that have been again COVID related

(22:44):
eight hundred nine for one Shawn. Then the you know,
the Biden's Commerce secretary nominee. Yeah, we're gonna raise taxes.
This commerce secretary nominee. Guess what, Rhode Island was ranked
one of the worst states in the country for business.
In other words, the Biden come secretary nominee ran the
ran the state ranked worse for commerce. Good grief. Another

(23:06):
brilliant choice, at least at least the individual involved here
was Her name is Gina u Ryannamando. I think is
how you pronounce it anyway? You know her state was
best and worst states to start a business. Yeah, they're
forty eighth for the worst state. Wipsie Daisy. It's not

(23:26):
gonna help commerce, But admitting that middle class are gonna
have to pay taxes. Yeah, it's a sacrifice. We're all
gonna be sacrificing now. And Hunter Biden, by the way,
continues to hold the stake. I saw this in the
Daily Caller and Chinese private equity firm according to records,
and despite reports that he was planning to divest, apparently

(23:47):
that has not happened yet. We have Congresswoman Acacio Cortez
really losing it on Twitter and on TV, actually claiming
that House GOP is driven by white supremacist and extremists
and the party imposes no consequences for racism and insurrection. Listen,
there are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers that sit at the

(24:12):
heart and at the core of the Republican Caucus in
the House of Representatives. And when you see someone like
the like the House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of the
Republican Party respond to white supremacist vitriol coming from his
own members, not with censure like they did with Representative

(24:35):
Steve King of Iowa, not with you know, being stripped
of committees, not with any consequence. You have to wonder
where who actually has that power. But she was ecstatic
that Joe Biden. It's almost as if we helped shape
the platform. Acasio Cortez, writing in a tweet, she did

(24:56):
what have I been saying? She's Speaker of the House,
Blosie speaker in name only, tweets out to Ted Cruz,
I'm happy to work with the Republicans on this issue,
with this common ground, but you almost had me murdered
three weeks ago, so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work with almost any other GOP that aren't
trying to get me killed. In the meantime, if you
want help, you can resign, Okay. Ted Cruz was calling

(25:20):
for an audit. That's it. And by the way, the
person leading up the impeachment predetermined outcome. Impeachment sham. Yeah,
challenge the twenty sixteen elections. Guy to Raskin, I mean McConnell,
did warrenschoon. We're of scorched earth Senate. If Democrats bothers
the Filibus, who knows what they're gonna do. We already

(25:42):
know what they're planning. We already know DC statehood is
now on the table, as we told you, also on
the table packing the US Supreme Court. We're gonna we're
gonna put together a committee to study it. Okay, it's
gonna conclude that they should add justice is to the
US Supreme Court. A power grab there as well, the

(26:05):
great Davos reset. Yeah, French President Macrone declaring modern capitalism
could no longer work. Oh, you take COVID out of
the equation. What was the economy like under Donald J. Trump?
With energy independence? Record low unemployment for every demographic group
in the country, Economic growth unprecedented because deregulation, lower taxes,

(26:33):
manufacturing opportunities that were ripped away in the Biden Obama years.
When now we're going back to the good old days
of forcing companies overseas because they're not going to be
able to get the job done here at a price
point that would make them competitive. But don't worry, they're
focused on impeachment. A lot of good that's going to do. Now.

(26:55):
Onto the coronavirus. Oh look at this story. Yeah, we've
been talking about this. Remember the words hydroxychloric win make
liberals heads explode. If any doctor medical professional said, yeah,
we're beginning anecdotally with seeing signs that it's working and
there's no danger at all. Doctor Daniel Wallace the risk associated,

(27:17):
but the recommended dose is nil. This guy's been prescribing
it for forty years. He's the head of the rheumatoid
arthritis everything largest practice in the country, Lupus anti malarials. Now,
a new study in the American Journal for Medicine in
January found oh early treatment of coronavirus patients with hydroxy

(27:38):
chloric win lowered the mortality rate for the disease. There's
only two times, by the way, that the media went
full full bore, and that was the American Journal of
Medicine had to admit that their stand was wrong. Now
they're saying just the opposite. Huge controversy in New York

(28:02):
headline New York Attorney General is accused Governor Andrew Cuomo
of undercounting COVID deaths and nursing homes buy up to
fifty percent. On top of that, my favorite news item
today is Joe Biden signed an important executive order and
that is that they have banned the term China virus. Wow. Okay,

(28:26):
executive order, but I guess we can talk about the
South African strain that has a lot of people nervous
that worried that the vaccine may not be applicable, and
we're getting I think we got up to a third
or fourth case in America. It's now become a big problem.
You have different variants, by the way, there is That's
what viruses do. They mutate. That's why have people studying

(28:48):
viruses their whole life. Anyway, you see what's happening to
Gavin Newsom. The steam for the recall effort out there
is growing. Actually talk the Hill reporting talk of peaching.
Andrew Cuomos picked up apparently steam this morning as the
Attorney General got to give her credit. New York State

(29:08):
has issued a scathing report charging that Cuomo covered up
the true death toll resulting from his decision to force
nursing homes to accept contagious COVID page first of you saying, well,
the nursing homes wanted the money. That's why then, of course,
and ultimately four hundred incarnations of excuses. The worst part
of that is President Trump. They didn't use seventy five

(29:31):
percent of the hospital beds at the Javits Center, and
they barely touched the Navy hospital ship that Trump sent
and manned and built for all of New York and
surrounding areas about anyway, They said that they underreported the
nursing home desk by as much as fifty percent. Wow,

(29:51):
let me tell you what, how this is going to
end in a lawsuit? And I would say families that
lost loved ones and nursing homes in New York, I
would say, my bet is on them. I think they're
gonna likely win any legal challenge to that. It'll probably
be a settlement at some point. Another prediction. What do
I know though? Anyway? So the President Biden, you know

(30:15):
out there's on records all these executive orders, and you
know he's now of course, has gone forward. He's banned
federal workers from referring to COVID nineteen as the China virus.
He believes it's insensitive to Asian Americans. We allowed to
say talk about the South African variant of the virus
or the European variety of the virus. I guess we

(30:39):
can't give any location. I guess the German measles will
change the name of that too. Unbelievable. Talk about incompetence.
The worst part is is we got the vaccine and
governors have no clue how to properly organize its distribution,
prioritize old their people, Hello, not that hard. First responders,

(31:03):
healthcare workers, frontline works number two people were pre existing
conditions and underlying health issues and compromised immune systems. There next,
neighborhoods hit particularly hard. I put them next after that,
and then people like me that are healthy, we're last.
That's where I belong. People have been saying Hannity's an

(31:24):
anti vaxer. I've been telling everybody I'm gonna get it.
I just I have friends that have gotten it, and
they say yeah, like they're sick as a dog for
a day. I just said, uh, our two, Sean, Hannity's show,
toll free, our number eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of this extravaganza
with a callousness second to none. What has happened now

(31:46):
and what is happening before our eyes? Sadly, this is
the dangers of radicalism and socialism, which represents the new
radical democratic Socialist Party. In other words, everything we told
you they would do, they are now doing. You know,
John Kerry doesn't matter that he travels around in his
private jet. Now John Kerry is going to luxury the

(32:09):
American people billionaire that he is about the need to
get rid of these jobs and the oil sect, high
paying career jobs because of this radical climate change agenda.
Why does he still own a private jet? Why does
Joe Biden and the entire government. Why are we paying

(32:29):
for fleets of jets for all these cabinet heads and
their staff to travel around the country. I didn't know.
I bet many of you didn't know that. How many
of you know about John Kerry's home in Matha's vineyard.
Then you've got the man with the wealth of experience,
former mayor of South Bend. He just got a job,

(32:49):
Peep Buddha judge, Well, we want people to get other
union jobs. Well, we're interviewing tens of thousands of people,
and we're talking to all these people that law good
union jobs, that were paying one hundred grand a year
with awesome benefits. They're now out of work next week.
They got their pink slips last week and they're getting
them this week. They now that they've got mortgages, they

(33:12):
got to pay rent, they've got to pay and promises
of some future job in a windmill factory or solar
panel factory. Not exactly heartwarming for them. These are very
skill specific jobs. These are real professionals that earn every
penny to work on rigs and welders and pipe fitters

(33:32):
and all these hard working men and women, and grand
Home even admitting, yeah, we're gonna have to give up
jobs in the name of climate change. I mean, on
top of that, we're becoming more dependent than ever again.
We're finally energy independent thanks to Donald Trump. Well, now
you know, the hostile regimes of Russia and Iran and

(33:52):
China and Middle Eastern countries that hate us, they'll be
getting rich again because the price of oil and energy
will begin to soar. Every American will be impacted there too.
You'll be paying more for gasoline, more to heat your
home and your fellow Americans in this job environment, with
a pandemic going on, in this job environment, we're going
to legalize eleven million people in this country. We already

(34:15):
have a fight going on for the few jobs that
are available. So let's rip away entire careers from people.
Let's listen to carry Grandholm in Buddha Judge. The President
of the United States has expressed in every comment he
has made about climate the need to grow the new
jobs that pay better, they're to cleaner. What President Biden

(34:38):
wants to do is make sure those folks have better choices,
that they have alternatives, that they could be the people
who go to work to make the solar panels, they
were making them here at home. That is going to
be a particular focus of the Build Back Better agenda.
I'm just curious how a long term band consistent with
the President's goal of unify our country and putting Americans

(35:02):
back to work and helping our economies grow. How is
that goal consistent. I think the president's plan of building
back Better, which would create more jobs in energy, clean
energy than the jobs that might be sacrificed. So for
those workers, the answer is somebody else will get a job.

(35:25):
The answer is that we are very eager to see
those workers continue to be employed in good paying union jobs,
even if they might be different ones. Good paying union jobs,
even if they're different ones. Well, right now they don't
have any job because with a stroke of a pen,
Biden took them away. Jobs will be sacrificed. Granholm actually
got very close to the truth there. For a second.

(35:46):
New Gingrich, former Speaker of the House joins us. Now
mister speaker, I've I've never witnessed anything this profoundly stupid
as what they're now doing in the name of this,
you know, climate change hysteria whipped up by the radical
socialist like Acacio Cortez. Look, I think the arrogance and

(36:08):
insensitivity of people like John Kerry, who is a billionaire,
just basically saying, all, well, you're not going to have
a job, but someday, somewhere down the road, everything will work.
Outside what's not going to work out not just for
the workers you're describing, Sean, but remember in places like
New Mexico, the local school board relies on the oil

(36:31):
and gas payments to meet their budget. And as somebody
said in New Mexico yesterday, democrat said in New Mexico yesterday,
if you cut off oil and gas this month, you're
going to be cutting off the schools next month. And
I think that that's what people don't realize. The effect
to the entire community, not just the immediate jobs, but

(36:52):
the effect through the entire community will be devastating and
will in fact create ghost towns out of plays there
right now are vibrant and profitable and attracting new workers
and desirable places to live. And I think these folks
have no clue how many human beings are going to
hurt with their policies because their views on climate change

(37:15):
and environmental justice climate concerns are at the heart of
all of this. So when the choice comes down to
energy independence, the choice comes down to American high paying
career jobs, they side with the fringe left because, as
we also know, this is intricately intertwined with an agenda,

(37:38):
which is redistribution of wealth and socialism, isn't it? Well,
it is, And you know, Thomas Wolfe to the great
series of essays way back in the nineteen seventies in
which you describe radical chic, And you have all these nice,
wonderful people at their fabulous places in Cape Cod in Nantucket,
and they're having wonderful cocktail parties with people serving them

(38:00):
who were legal immigrants but are now going to have
a chance to citizenship, and they don't have a clue
how much damage they're doing to the rust and country,
because you know, he just pop another champagne and talking
wonderful terms about this great future you're creating. But it's
going to be a nightmare for normal, everyday Americans. The
question I'm getting asked by more people every single day,

(38:21):
callers to this radio show, people I run into every day,
is Okay, what what what can we do to stop this? Now?
My answer is usually start at the local level, because
you can have state attorney attorneys general. They can go
out there and they can challenge a lot of these
executive orders of Biden. I know. I love how the

(38:41):
New York Times very politely said, Okay, Joe, please not
so many executive orders. Just slowed down a little bit
because he's done more in a week than all three
prior presidents combined. Something he said that he didn't have
the authority to do, which is interesting. But people are
asking what can they do? And I'm also same work
with your state legislators now. If you have issues in

(39:04):
terms of the integrity and competence in your state's voting system,
now's the time to fix it, not two years from now. Look,
I think this is a little bit like the emergence
of the Tea party system in response to Obama in
two thousand and nine. In two ten, which led to
the largest Republican pickup in modern times. We gained sixty
three seats in two and ten. I would urge everybody

(39:26):
who wants to change things organize. If you're in a
Democratic congressional district, start right now organizing a campaign to
beat the incumbent, because if we could scare fifty or
sixty of the Democratic incumbents into fearing for their reelection,
you would certainly find it impossible to pass any left
wing legislation because they were just closed down. I would

(39:49):
say to Pelosi and Schumer and Biden, I'm not going
to defeat myself just for some slogan. And I think
it's very important the grassroots activists recreate the kind of
energy and the kind of enthusiasm that we had so
powerfully in two thousand and nine and two and ten.
If if we don't pay attention, if state look, I

(40:11):
think attorney general we saw in Texas they have now
already successfully blocked one of Biden's executive orders on immigration.
So I think that that certainly is a strategy. I
think there'll be a lot of lawsuits coming out of
these these actions, which Biden himself said he didn't have
the authority to do. Now they're talking about using reconciliation
to get the budget passed. Now they have a committee

(40:34):
to look into court packing. Now they're moving forward with
DC statehood. I mean there's a there's a lot of
battles and a lot of changes. But this is what
you and I both were trying to tell people what happened,
if in fact, has ever happened. Look, and I think
the House and Senate Republicans ought to be much more aggressive. So,
for example, somebody ought to put in a bill right
now to repudiate all of this moratorium on gas and

(40:58):
oil and then challenge people will like, for example, the
New Mexico Democratic delegation. I mean, New Mexico's life blood
is being strangled by the Biden administration. So let's put
the Democrats on notice in all of these various places,
and I think you would find, all of a sudden
there'll be a lot of folks who face really difficult challenges.

(41:18):
You're going to see this play out in the center racist.
We now have an open center seat in Ohio. East Gner.
Ohio has become enormously successful because of natural gas, and
here's Biden coming along crippling that entire economy, and that
will become a major issue in the center race. And
this is not a risk free proposition. On their part.

(41:38):
The more radical they are, the bigger the disaster will
be for them, And it may start in Virginia this year.
I mean, I'm here looking at new candidates, new blood,
new energy in the Virginia Republican Party in a way
that could show up as early as this November. I
don't think in the last election, I don't think people

(42:00):
are paying attention at Gillespie got a lot closer than
people thought he would. I'm not sure knowing that, you know,
the swamp has moved into northern Virginia. I don't know
how easy it is for any Republican ever win that state,
but it'll certainly be worth contesting. And I think also
we're now learning that the Democratic Party has really become
the party of radicalism, socialism, catering to the elites in

(42:25):
New York and La San Francisco and DC. And this
is where I think the Republican Party has an opportunity,
and that is to become the party of hard working
men and women and champion the cause to protect the
American worker, well in the northern Virginia, to become the
party that says, let's open the schools. I mean that
the teachers unions everywhere in this country right now are

(42:47):
clearly putting power ahead of children. And there's the biggest
opportunity Republicans have had to seize the education issue. And
I remember also the places like northern Virginia. There are
a lot of small businesses that are being crushed by
the stupidity with which the government of Virginia has been
managing the shutdown. So I think that we're entering a

(43:08):
different world than the one we were in, and it's
going to be a world where getting kids educated, creating jobs,
making sure the street is safe. Remember you had the
largest increase in murderers and major cities last year in
American history. Now that's the sort of thing that you
defund the police, you have contempt for the police, you
tolerate Antifa, and all of a sudden you have a

(43:30):
country that is really dangerous. I know, on your show
the other night, you showed that video of the person
getting beaten up at eleven o'clock in the morning in
downtown New York in a way which frankly I was horrifying.
It was awful. I'm dying to get your thoughts. You
got this David and Goliath battle going on on Wall
Street where you have day traders, people that bypass the

(43:54):
big hedge funds and they do their own trading, and
they're not paying Often when you buy and sell stocks,
you have to pay a commission, but if you go
to these different websites, you don't have to do that.
But anyway, they actually figured out that these companies, these
hedge funds, these these goliaths, if you will, were sort
of the short stock strategies or shorting of stock strategies

(44:17):
that they've used was going way too far. And they
figured out that a lot of the stock was phantom stock,
I mean, which was pretty bizarre. In other words, they're
shorting stocks that are don't even exist. If it's one
hundred percent of stocks that you can short, okay, you
can't short one hundred and forty percent of stocks. And
I'm watching this all go on, and we all see
that these independent investors grouped together on Reddit and other places,

(44:44):
and you see the stock rise of game Stop and
some of these other BlackBerry and a few other companies
soaring through the roof. And then you got a company
like Melvin Capital cratering their hedge fund and having to
be been forced to exit the short bet against game
Shop and a big win for the little guy. Yeah, look,

(45:05):
I am I think we're to point in this country's
history where when in doubt, be for the little guy. Well,
we have too many billionaires who are totally out of
touch with the world. We have too many billionaires who
think that their financial success means they can dictate politics
to the rest of us. And we have too many
billionaires who are willing to use their muscle in order
to reshape the country based on their particular psychology or

(45:29):
their particular ideology. So I've always believed the heart of
America is the average individual American. And if enough individuals
can band together to beat the big boys, I am
all for it. We'll get New king Ridge's take on
impeachment on the other side. Eight hundred nine four one
sean is our number if you want to be a
part of the program. All right, as we continue, former

(45:50):
Speaker of the House, New king Ridge. All right, so
one week from Monday that we begin the latest shift show.
We already know the outcome. So it's going to be
like a Broadway theater, and that is that Donald Trump
will be acquitted rightly. So, but then you got some
Republicans saying, well, maybe we should do censure. How about
how about if you're going to do this to Donald Trump,

(46:10):
let's pull out the tapes of Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi,
Maxine Waters. I'm going to take Trump out tonight, Joe
Biden included, and apply the same standards to them, and
then we'll censor everybody. Look, I wish some of the
guts here and tougher senators on our side would would
pick up on your idea, pull together every democract quote

(46:33):
that is clearly an incitement to violence and offer an
amendment on the Senate floor. Do they want to add
these to the to the censure motion and the right
you want to send your Nancy Pelosi and you want
to send your man added exactly and include it all.
Let's let's go down the list. If we're gonna apply
this standard to this person, let's apply it to that person.
Chuck Schumer on the on the steps of the Supreme Court,

(46:56):
threatening Corsage and Kavanaugh, you won't know where to hit you, Okay,
all right? Glad you with us twenty five to the
top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one sewn.
You want to be a part of the program. Everybody
I know is fascinated by what has been happening on
Wall Street. And you know, for example, stocks like a
game Stop stock and BlackBerry stock and I'm what is

(47:22):
it AMC stock? All these different companies there are five
dollars a share and then they're explode. I think game
Stop got up to like four hundred and eighty dollars
a share. Now it's among it. They're among a handful
of previously well unloved companies. Maybe you can put it
that way, as the New York Post put it today,

(47:43):
prices are fueled. Now you've got these big hedge funds,
and the big hedge funds they charge for every trade,
if you buy or your sell. There's there's commissions associated
with those trades. But there are other places where people trade.
Reddit would be one of them. And so what they
have figured out there's a process on Wall Street and

(48:05):
I'll let Steve Moore explain it more detail and more
articularly than I can. Where it's part of the process
on Wall Street with the shortest stock, and that is
that they're going to predict and bet that the stock
is going to go to a lower price anyway long
story short. To do that, you actually borrow somebody's real
stock and they get a piece of the action so
that you can then short it and then at some point,

(48:27):
if in fact it goes down, you get the difference
in the price, and in other words, you're betting on
it going down. Big big practice on Wall Street, especially
used by the hedge funds. Anyway, So these independent small
guys got hip to what has been going on and
the millions and millions of dollars being made by these
big hedge funds billions actually, and they've figured out that

(48:51):
they were actually shorting stocks that weren't even like phantom
numbers they like. For example, they were shorting well beyond
one hundred percent of all the stocks that were ever
even available, in some cases one hundred and forty percent.
And the idea is is when the call comes for
these big hedge funds that had shorted the stocks because

(49:14):
the little guys have banded together and coordinated an attack
against them, it all backfires and they've got to cover that.
They've got to cover massive amounts of money that they
never thought would happen. It's pretty fascinating anyway. My buddy
Charles payin over at the Fox Business Channel exploded on

(49:37):
what's going on and the whining that's going on over
Wall Street. It's just to me, it's pure entertainment. I'm
not a Wall Street guy. I've said this so many
times over the years. To me, I think we the
little guy, the investors, you know what, We're the ones
that find out last, and when we get in usually
the ship is sailed and we end up getting screwed
on both sides. Anyway, here's what Charles Payne said. I've

(49:59):
got the report in my hands and I sent out
to my subscribers, and here's the list the shorts. First
of all, all of this nonsense, all of this noise,
all of this wanting by Wall Street, it's making me sick.
One hundred and forty percent of game Stop was short.
I didn't hear one person on TV complaining about Wall
Street trying to crush game Stop one hundred and forty

(50:20):
percent short. I told my subscribers buying the stock and
they made a fortune. I also told him to buy
Birds in Space and a Virgin We took profits on
that today. Fiz, that's up huge, Tangers is up huge. Nil.
You can't allow Wall Street to short seventy five percent
of a stock and nobody says anything. Crushed these companies
into the dirt, and then when the individual investor makes money,

(50:43):
everyone's up in arms. Oh they're gonna lose their shirt.
Don't you think people are trading? If they're traded eighty
billion shares of day, people are ringing a register. I
have a kid who bought a house he had He
made fifty thousand dollars and bought a house. So, yes,
some people are gonna lose this. Some are gonna win.
But if you want to if they want to change
the rules of the game now, because the general public
is making money. After decades of the shorts crushing thousands

(51:06):
of stocks into the dirt, I watched stocks mean crushed
completely to zero, and no one ever whispered anything because
those stocks didn't have Wall Street sponsorship, they were small names.
Maybe they went public through a reverse takeover, whatever it was.
The shorts have had their way with the market for decades.
No one's ever complained about it. So I am thrilled.
If you were going to try to destroy company by

(51:28):
shorting one hundred and forty percent of a stock, you
have to accept the fact that individual investors are playing
the same game that you're playing, and now you're losing.
All right. That was our friend Charles Payne and obviously
very passionate about this. Steve Moore joins US economists, author
of the bestseller trump Anomics, inside the America First plan
to revive our economy, And look, he knows a lot

(51:51):
about this. He calls it a David versus Goliath moment.
I'm not going to explain it as good as you,
but maybe I'll let you do it in your terms.
In ways hopefully all of us can yet. Well, hi, Sean.
And by the way, I love what Charles had to say,
my good friend Charles pain and he was right. He
what a great call he made for his investors in
buying these stocks. Uh game stop at a very low price.

(52:13):
And boy, those investors have met a lot of money.
And I love the story for a couple of reasons.
One is he is Charles is absolutely right that it
should be almost criminal that you can you can short
the stock even more than the stock is out there.
I mean, it's a torpedo right in the middle of
the ship and it can destroy good company. Sean. And
you know, I don't have anything against shorting stocks. That's

(52:35):
how the stock market works. But this is a procedure
that's used by the big, big, you know, trading companies
to really destroy good companies. And by the way, then
the little investors go down. And this is this is
an example of the little investors banded together through Reddit
and other groups to buy the stocks, which, by the way,

(52:56):
that that hurts the short sellers because then you know
they're betting on the company going bankrupt. Well, we've seen
a nice appreciation of the stock and you know, one
of the interesting things and a lot of the investors
think that game stock could actually become a platform to
take on some of these big technology companies that you've
talked about, maybe a platform for internet access and things

(53:19):
of that nature. So great story, the little guy really
hammering the big guys, and it's a way to retaliate
against the disproportionate power to make money in the stock
market that the big, big funds have. But you know,
one of the things that is most intriguing and intriguing,
and I know that that it gets a little more

(53:40):
complicated here, but the hedge funds, you know, they can
go and they can discuss and they can pose their
tips and they can short these stocks and drive the
prices down and that's profitable for them. And I'm not
even saying I'm against shorting of stocks. My understanding is
it's actually a necessary part of the process of all

(54:01):
the trading that goes on on Wall Street. But the
manipulation aspect of it is very real. And there's a
real anger at these hedge funds for the practices they've
been involved in. But now that it's happening back and
it's it's boomeranging back on them. Now they're trying to
claim it's illegal, and they're they're racing to the government

(54:22):
to step in and stop, you know, the little guys
that have joined forces together to combat it. Yeah, that's
the irony here. By the way, for someone who doesn't
know a lot about this, Sean, do you explain it
very well? Because I agree with everything that you just said.
Let me repeat this because it's important. You know, we
have very efficient financial markets the United States. It's an

(54:43):
important part of our prosperity. And you're exactly right, there's
nothing wrong with shorting of stock. I do that if
you're in a fund, probably at times they short of stock,
which just means they're betting that the stock will go
down for what's happening here. And I think you used
the word manipulate, Sean, and that's exactly what this is.
When you can short of stock beyond the number of shares,
it's almost like driving the shares to a negative price.

(55:05):
So in other words, let's say there's a hundred shares
for a company and the hedge funds are short in
the stock. Unfortunately, they're short for one hundred and forty
shares that those are forty phantom shares that are non existent.
And it's these small groups banding together and tell me
if I'm wrong, that figured out what they were up

(55:27):
to and what they were doing, and then they organized
and they decided to take them on, knowing that there
was going that the price would be driven up dramatically
and the short bet would go bad, and that they'd
end up probably losing billions. And I think the feeling
among a lot of people. And because I'm laughing at

(55:49):
the whole thing myself, I'm not participating in any way.
I'm not smart enough to do it. It's not my wheelhouse.
But the funny part of it is is you know,
all of a sudden. Now they're crying about rules, and
now they want government regulators in. They don't usually want
government regulators involved in hedge funds, do they exactly? And
this is a really great story because you're right. What

(56:09):
happened here is when you when you're shorting over the
number of shares out there, and then the shares go
up in price, you take, you know, you get crushed.
And that's what's happening with a lot of these funds
that were engaged in this manipulation. And it is kind
of a rough justice here that that's happening. You know,
we'll see what happens to the company itself, you know,

(56:31):
whether it will be able to survive. I think so
because GameStop is a series of retail stores, and as
the economy gets better and the vaccine gets out there,
people will start going back to stores like this, and
that's our very rational bet. I'm not going to advise
people one way or the other about how to invest
in this company, but you you describe it very well.
These are mostly little modern top investors who saw an

(56:54):
opportunity here. They were advised by people a Charles Paine,
and what a great call, And you're right what irony
that the very companies that have been so opposed to
regulation now are running to Washington the SEC to try
to make this procedure illegal. I don't see what. I
don't see what's illegal about this, Sean Well, I don't either.

(57:15):
And then bringing in the government to try and silence
them while they have full communication ability kind of that's
not exactly doesn't look to me like a level playing field.
I mean, this is like a Wall Street brawl. That's
how I'm describing it. With game stock, game stop stock soaring.
You know, I think at one point, you know, a
thousand percent of whatever was well that crater, for example,

(57:39):
the hedge fund called Melvin Capital, they had been shorting
the stock. Explain to me why, and explain to this
audience why shorting is part of the EBB and flow
of how Wall Street works. Because most people think, all right,
I'm going to go into the market and I'm gonna
I like this product. I believe in this product. I
think this product is going to sell well. I think

(58:00):
the stock price will be steady, and you know, you know,
I'm willing to risk a little bit of money and
the hopes it goes up. But you have a whole
group of people that are betting it goes down. Why
is that an integral part of the day to day
business with these hedge funds. Because what it does is
it it prevents um you know, hopefully prevents big you know,

(58:22):
balloons that burst because you're having people betting on both
sides the stacks. So Sean, you may buy Google stock
you think it's going to go up. I think it's
going to go down, so I short it. That reduces
the price of the stock. And that's what one of
the things that makes our you know, these are kind
of betting markets and formed betting markets. You you may
have knowledge about a company and you want to invest it.

(58:45):
I have some knowledge in it, I think you know, hey,
I think they are you know, the management isn't good.
I'm going to short it, and that leads to an
efficient price for our stock market. And that's one of
the reasons the US stock market is the best and
soundest in the world. So again, shorting stocks, we all
do it. If you're if you're in a mutual fund,
that mutual fund is probably shorting from socks. But again,

(59:08):
this I've never even heard of this before, Sean, I've
never even heard of this before, where you could short
more shares of stock than there are out there, and
that means, boy, these companies are Some people have suggested
to me, you may not be able to do that exactly.
I don't. I don't even know how you do it, really,
I mean, how do you how do you short shirts?

(59:30):
You can't? I mean, I mean it is mathematically impossible.
And if there's not a restriction on it, that needs
to be one, right, I would say so because I
think it rips off investors. And when you can do that,
you can really drive down the shirts. Look these sometimes
what I don't like about some of the short sellers
is they are they are sharks. You know, they can

(59:50):
destroy good companies. And I've seen it happen where a
good company uh is not able to weather the storm,
and they keep driving it down and down and down
and down, and they deal with the financial reporters and
they spread rumors about a company and all of a sudden,
you know, a small company they're just getting its feet
on the ground. We've seen I've seen it dozens of
times shown where the shorts sellers can can drive a

(01:00:12):
company out of business. But when you can bind core
that's the part that I hate. And now do you
do this kind of trading yourself or no, No, I'm not.
I'm a neutral funds. I'm in the market. I think
everyone should be, you know, although right now I think Sean, look,
the stock market is very pricey right now, and you're

(01:00:33):
I just I don't like the stock market right now.
The price if you look at the price earning ratios,
they're very high. And then Sean, as you and I
have talked about, you look at the agenda of the
Biden administration and the assault on business and the higher
taxes and regulations that are coming. That is not a
good investment for business or for shareholders. I have a

(01:00:53):
very minimal investment and exposure to the market. I just
don't have the appetite for it. And anyway, very enlightening,
thanks Steve Moore. As always, I'm just enjoying the fight.
I mean, there's a big brawl that has broken out
basically on Wall Street, and it's fun to watch the
little guy take on the big guy and they're actually winning.
Although there's another side of this. They're gonna people are

(01:01:16):
gonna get hurt here. I'm just oh, know this, some
of these little guys are gonna get caught hold in
the bag. And when, because those stocks are going to
get back down to earth, It'll happen sooner than later.
When that happens depends what their buying point was. They
could lose massive amounts of money and not a game

(01:01:38):
I want to play. Money's too hard to earn. Stay
right here for our final news round up and information overload.
All right, News round Up, Information Overload Our Sean Hannity Show,
eight hundred and ninety four one Sean, If you want
to be a part of the program, Well, there are
some happy people in the world today, certainly the David
Englia's story we've been talking about with the little guy

(01:01:59):
on Wall Street taking out some of these hedge fun
guys that are shorting these stocks. This this has been
like pent up building up anger and resentment. I'm enjoying
the brawl, and I kind of enjoy and I'm cheering
on the sideline for the little guys that are winning
this for a lot of different reasons. I just the
whole thing makes I just am not fond of any

(01:02:21):
of the practices here. And money's too hard to come by.
Just urge all of you be careful that anybody doing
business with and then you're gonna have to make your
own decision as always, you know. But we're living through
really difficult times. We now have a pandemic that has
put millions of Americans out of work. D'recnian shutdowns have

(01:02:43):
resulted in entire businesses and industries being upended in ways
we never dreamed of, and shutdowns that were never necessary.
Had they done things right, and we learned from states
that did do it right. Huh Florida for example, and
a lot we can learn from the states that got
it right. Did they have their hotspots? Yep? Did they

(01:03:05):
struggle at times? Yep? Everybody did. The entire world did.
And the worst pandemic in a hundred years. Now that
the vaccine is on track thanks to Donald Trump, if
you can get these governors to get their asking gear
and get an organized system of dispensing it, that would
be a great help. Anyway. So now with the stroke

(01:03:27):
of a pen, thousands of jobs building the border wall
are gone. With a stroke of a pen, tens of thousands,
ultimately be hundreds of thousands of jobs in the energy
sector will be gone, high paying career jobs. We're talking
to people hundred thousand dollars a year jobs, very specific
skill set like welding and pipe fitting and working on

(01:03:51):
rigs and drilling. This is it takes literally decades to
get great at this, and finally people get to the
point where they're making some real money and one stroke
of a pen and they're out of work. The only
one that seems happy are all these The only people
who seem happy, these liberal democrats, radical environmentalists and socialists.
Why they're so happy, I don't know. Now they're they're

(01:04:13):
talking about as much as ten trillion dollars. AOC says,
Biden's two trillion dollars climate push sounds just like her
Green New Deal. Well, it is Bernie Sanders AOC inspired
Joe Biden radicalism at the expense of working men and
women in this country, wiping their jobs, their livelihoods, right

(01:04:35):
out from underneath them. This can't happen in our country.
It's happening, but it shouldn't happen. Now, let me play
this this Biden energy montage, policies on fossil fuels, the
Green New Deal carbon tax, and the callousness with which
the likes of Pete Buddha Judge I'm just curious how
a long term band consistent with the president's goal of

(01:04:57):
unifying our country and putting americ Is back to work
and helping our economies grow. How is that goal consistent?
I think the president's plan of building back better, which
would create more jobs in energy, clean energy than the
jobs that might be sacrificed. I think that that Unfortunately,

(01:05:21):
workers have been fed a false narrative surprise right, for
the last few years. They've been fed the notion that
somehow dealing with climate is coming at their expense. No,
it's not. What's happening to them is happening because of
other market forces already taking place. And what the what

(01:05:42):
the finance is, the big banks, the asset managers, private investors,
venture capital are all discovering is there's a lot of
money to be made in the creation of these new
jobs in these sectors. So for those workers, the answer
is somebody else will get a job. The answer is
that we are very eager to see those workers continue
to be employed in good paying union jobs, even if

(01:06:04):
they might be different ones. Real expert that he is
great experience, what depth, Mayor of Southpend no insult to
southpend Homer Notre Dame, not exactly a lot of experience. Oh,
we want them to get another union job. Or John
Kerry flies around the world in his private jet and
John Kerry, well, we want them to get other green
New Deal jobs. They Okay, where's the check coming next

(01:06:28):
week from? Where's that going to come from. Who's going
to pay their house payment, rent payment, mortgage payment, car payment,
truck payment, who's going to pay for the kids college fund?
Who's gonna put money in their retirement plan? Oh well, oh,
we'll create better jobs. Or Grand Holmes saying, well night,
we're going to tax the middle class and yeah, there's
going to be lost jobs for the good of society. Well,

(01:06:49):
the good isn't impacting any of these people anyway. Biden
didn't exactly run on all of this. To remind you,
when I think of climate change, I think of their
answers to it. I think jobs. A key plank of
our Build Back Better Recovery plan is building a modern,
resilient climate, infrastructure, and clean energy future that will create

(01:07:10):
millions of good, pain union jobs. We should set up
the rules for what kind of plant coal burning plants.
No one's going to build another coal burning We've got
to shut the ones down we have, but no one
is going to build a new one. We're going to
make it easier for American consumers to switch to electric
vehicles as well, not only by building five hundred thousand

(01:07:32):
charging stations, but by offering rebates and ascentives to swap
older fuel efficient vehicles for a new, clean, made in
American vehicles. Thanking Miss Rice. President, Just to clarify, would
there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and
fracking in a Biden administration, No, we would, We would

(01:07:53):
work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated, and
no more subsidies for either one of those, either any
fossil The reason I don't know. I'm not opposed the
Green New Deal. What I did, what I thought beyond
at least a more detail what the Green New Deal
is calling for. I've argued against any more oil drilling
or gas drilling on federal lands that we can and

(01:08:17):
uh and and and to stop that. You said, uh,
stop new oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Yes,
but kid, I want you to just take a look. Okay,
you don't have to agree, but I want you to
look in my eyes. I guarantee, I guarantee we're going
to a fossil fuel Would you support a carbon tax

(01:08:38):
other some other candidates said they would Yeah. No, I
I what. Nobody's going to build another UH coal fired
plant in America. No one's going to build another oil
fired plant in America. They're gonna move to renewable energy.
And the first thing I will do, I will rejoin
the Paris Accord. Well, I would transition from the oil industry. Yes,
I would transition. That is big statements because I would

(01:09:01):
stop Why would you do that? Because the oil industry
pollutes significantly, because it has to be replaced by renewable
energy over time, over time, And I'd stopped giving to
the oil industry. I'd stop giving them federal subsidies. You
won't give federal subsidies to the gas and would shoo
me to the solar and wind? Why are we giving

(01:09:25):
it to oil industry? So American workers, career jobs, high
paying career jobs, just wiped out with the stroke of
a pen. And you can just see Vladimir Putin hostile
actor Russia, hostile regime, Chinese president and she and the
Chinese government doing backflips. The Iranian same thing they're doing backflips.

(01:09:47):
All these Middle Eastern countries will now be reliant on again.
Now there's going to be We're going to limit the marketplace,
which has been the great equalizer in terms of price
with American production. We're out producing all these countries and
we're energy independent. I will be importing oil again, importing energy,

(01:10:07):
the lifeblood of our economy again. Gas pump prices will rise,
heating prices will rise, jobs will be lost, and these
other countries will be made rich again. Mark Barano, author
of the Fraud of the Green New Deal, Joe Bistarti,
or official weather forecaster here on the Sean Hannity Show.
WeatherBell dot Com has book The Weaponization of Weather and

(01:10:29):
the Phony Climate War. Mark will begin with you. It's
AOC's dream, and the worker be damned and the American
taxpayer be damned, because we'll all be paying more. We
will soon. Thank you very much. What President Biden has
done so far, he's come in office and he's literally
killed tens of thousands of job and one estimate was,
as his policies go forward, one million American jobs gone. Now.

(01:10:52):
John Kerry, Pete Budhachads basically say let them make solar.
Well they're not. They're killing jobs now with the promise
of some future solar or wind job when years decades
into the future, and are they going to be qualified
are they going to be trained for that? Here's the
bottom line. Three Just under four percent of US energy
comes from solar and wind combined, eighty plus percent come

(01:11:16):
from fossil fuels. In Joe Biden AOC's delusional world, they
believe we can turn four percent of American energy from
solar and wind somehow and magically eighty percent plus or
higher as they go to net zero emissions and try
to wipe out fossil fuels. This is an experiment that's
being played out. It's not really an experiment. I mean,

(01:11:37):
we know it's failed. We saw President Obama's eight years
of failure on this. But they're going to be taking
real jobs now, and it's going to make us less secure.
The biggest joke was John Kerry claiming it's a national
security threat, when in reality, it's cold times that are
the greatest for war, not warm times. And every policy
they're doing, as it you just said, Son is going

(01:11:58):
to make us more dependent on foreign sources of oil
and on rare earth minerals for solar wind electric cards
that come from Chinese own minds operated in Africa that
Amnesty International says as child labor. So this is a lose,
lose lose for America, Joe. But starting you've taken a
lot of heat from these environmentalists, the crazies out there,
because you've been out there with a knowledge of the

(01:12:22):
history of weather, you know, frankly second to none, challenging
the assertions that the world's gonna you know, basically disintegrade
or melt in twelve years, like Acasso Cortez says, it's
all over. Yeah, well, you're gonna be blaming me Monday
when there's twelve eighteen inches of snow in your back yard.
Too short. So I get blamed from all sides here,

(01:12:43):
But I do hold your responsible for that. You got
to make it go away, and if not, you'll have
to shovel them for me. Yeah. Well, you know, the
forward of my book is by this guy named Hannity
and who convinced me to write the book. And the
reason I wrote it was that, you know, Marcus, Marcus,
you know, I can't add to what the Godfather says
over here In fact, Murano and I are going to

(01:13:04):
challenge the Cuomo boys to a little tag team on climate.
We'll see what happens there. But here's the thing that
I come from, all right, years and years and years
of studying maps, using that knowledge, and whenever I hear
someone tell me the worst ever, and I could pick
out ten examples that it's not the worst ever. For instance,
weaponization of drought, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, global temperatures, global weirding,

(01:13:27):
the weaponization of models, the weaponization of academia. All this
is in the book. Also, something of a lot of
people don't want to talk about is what it's really about,
which is, every once in a while, folks man hooks
it up and gets it right. And the the beginning
of our declaration of independence was an absolute truth that

(01:13:48):
man nailed, that God gave us free will, all right,
And whenever you get a system like Marxism or socialism
that seeks to control and take away your free will,
that's what this is about. Also, you know, I'm glad
I put these two chapters in on COVID. You know,
I wrote this bout you know, finally got done in March,
and I can't believe it actually predicted what you're seeing now,

(01:14:11):
this COVID situation. And you know, there's no question this
is an immediate threat to the good of our society
and we've seen that. But trying to say, especially when
man adapts and moves on over a fifty sixty eighty
hundred year period, that climate change is the equivalent of COVID?

(01:14:31):
Are you kidding me? And the other thing I do
is I explain how you could get rid of this
whole problem, because guys, no matter which way you want
to slice it, there is a fear that's been brought
about in our education system by a doctrination. I have
a saying that in an educational system, you're taught to
question why. When you're indoctrinated, you're taught to question, not

(01:14:52):
to question why. It's the exact opposite. We have a
whole generation of students that just believes this stuff will
look beyond the situation. They fear c O two And
it's a very easy way out of this if you
really fear CO two involves planning a lot more trees
nuclear power plants. Why are we still slaves to James

(01:15:15):
Fonda and the China syndrome? In this country, and of
course carbon capture and things like that which wouldn't crash
the American economy, like the Green New Deal, which, by
the way, guys, and you know it as well as I,
it's designed to do that. It's designed to chop us
down to size. The whole thing is becoming obvious. It's
not about science, not about climate. It's about this whole

(01:15:39):
agenda that you're seeing in front of you now. So
I take that apart in there, you know, and like
I said, I go right at the heart and show
you example after example of how bad things were in
the thirties, forties, fifties, you know, And I'll knowledge a
second to none. But I'm gonna have to leave it there.
It's just a it's a primer, and I urge people

(01:16:00):
green fraud. Mark Moronod's book and Joe Bastardi, author of
the Weaponization of Weather and the Phony Climate War, it's
loved by liberals everywhere. That means it's probably worth reading.
Jobs are being lost now, it's impacting national security. We
won't be energy independent anymore. The lifeblood of our economy
is energy. They don't have the alternatives, and now we're

(01:16:24):
putting ourselves at a geopolitical strategic disadvantage in ways that
you can't even anticipate today, and it's hurting American families.
We're all going to be paying more for everything. Thank
you both, quick break right back, all right, twenty five
till the top of the hour. Many of you being
very patient today. Thank you so much. Eight hundred and

(01:16:46):
nine four one. Sean, you want to be a part
of the program. All right, let's go to Tammy Is
in West Virginia. Hey, Tammy, glad you called. Happy New Year,
and thank you for being with us. Well new year,
and thank you very much for taking my call. I'll
keep it short. I would like an answer, a clear
answer as to why senators are paid for not doing

(01:17:10):
their job. Many people, thousands of people have lost their
jobs at the stroke of a pen from Biden's order.
They're out of work, So why are these same people
getting paid and not doing their job. If it had
been you or me not shut up for work, not
doing a job properly, we would be fired. So that's
really all I wanted to say. I'd like to see

(01:17:30):
maybe it's listen, Tammy, you're expressing exactly how any decent
American feels right now, you know, I don't know. I mean,
maybe it's just my background and no one my parents background,
growing up poor as they did, and my mom the
prison guard, my dad waiting tables on weekends, and I

(01:17:51):
working my whole life and restaurants and construction, you know,
leading up to this, you know, career in radio and
TV and struggling and you know, running out of money.
I had two hundred dollars left in the bank and
what do I do? And how do I pay the rent?
These people's lives have now been ripped apart, fellow Americans,
and they're doing it so cavalierly and so callously, and

(01:18:13):
it shocks me to my core because all I can
think about is, oh, my god, how are these people
going to pay their rent? How they gonna pay their mortgage,
what's going to happen in the car payment? How are
they gonna pay their insurance. It's not like they're gonna
go get a job on a windmill tomorrow, Tammy. I know,
I know, I totally agree. I'd like to know who

(01:18:34):
these senators are, specifically drill down on their names every
day and how much their wages are, if it really
is public knowledge, the average person trying to find a job,
trying to keep that job and work, doesn't have the
time to go online and search the stuff down. But
if radio talk shows drill down on who these people are,
well I can tell you who the people are. The

(01:18:54):
people are Grant Home and Buddha, Judge and John Kerry
and Joe Biden. Now, the pushback has already been coming
from like the Attorney General of Texas in these other
states as that relates to the border wall construction jobs
that are gone. And I am these jobs are not

(01:19:17):
going to reappear any time soon, if at all. Entire
industries are being just wiped out. And for them, it's
you know, cavalier, it's it's for the good. It's it's
for green energy, it's for you know, the environment, it's
for climate change. Well, you know what, And then John
Kerry flies on his own private jet to his beautiful

(01:19:39):
mansion on the water in Nantucket. Save me the lectures,
you know, live by example. We pay. Do you know,
I bet you probably don't know, Tammy, I do know.
Do you know that there is a fleet of private
jets that you pay for for all of these government
officials and all of these cabinet officials. Did you know
that I did? Actually I was a private contract flight

(01:20:02):
attendant for a number of years. Oh good for you. Yeah,
save me the lecture. You know, if John Kerry sold
his airplane or scrap heaped it. Uh, okay, I might listen,
but he's not gonna do it. If everyone in Joe's
cabinet pledge not to use the fleet of private jets

(01:20:22):
we the taxpayers pay for, um, you know, when they
give up the creature comforts we give them um um,
maybe they'll have just a scintilla of credibility. But even still,
you don't rip away high paying career jobs with the
stroke of a pen, as Biden has been doing. Or

(01:20:44):
The New York Times says, please Joe, you know, maybe
go a little easier on on this, you know, dictating uh,
you know, executive order thing here. Um. In other words,
by by executive fiat. It's sad, Tammy. Let me tell you,
these these lives. We're not going to hear from these
people again. So they have no place to go. They're

(01:21:04):
going to try and pick up the pieces and rebuild
their lives, and they're going to probably take jobs that
pay twenty thousand dollars a year, you know, just to
get a rent payment paid. It's terrible, it's awful, and
it's and it's tens of thousands. Well, we're all on
the same page and we have to keep fighting back here.

(01:21:24):
That's one thing we can do, is so having said that,
thank you for everything that you do. Thank you, thank
you every day and just keep on. Okay, thank you, Tammy.
And I want to help people as much as I can.
I mean, we had this guy on the show the
other day. I know, we put it up on our website,
Hannity dot com if people have any jobs available, help him.

(01:21:45):
And he had a layoff about a hundred guys and
just that work directly under him. Steve, New Mexico your
next high Hell are you doing that? John? Good afternoon
to you guys. And I'm gonna thank you for all
that you csis Here in New Mexico, we are we're
in a state of crisis in regards. I live in
the northwest part of New Mexico, Sean and jobs have

(01:22:06):
been eliminated. Oil and gas no longer exists here. The
price of natural gas has gone down, the price of
oil has fluctuated somewhat. We sit now around fifty three
dollars on the price, you know. But really, Sean, we
are suffering, and it's all for the thought that we
want to go to this new green deal. We want
to be totally green by the year of twenty fifty, Sean,
How the world are we going to power vehicles? How

(01:22:28):
the world I'm gonna boil them. I'm gonna drove a
pickup chuck that I need to pull fourteen thousand pounds,
and you canna tell me I'm gonna put a battle
on map to run that. You know, we are in
a state of basically a turmoil where we need to
stand up and get our voice heard. And like the
young lady before Tammy that mentioned, is to stand up
to our legislators, both at the state level and at

(01:22:49):
the national level. We've had now a Democrat governor that
we have in office now and she would like to
basically remove all oil and gas exploration in state. In
the Mexico he done, and also we survive off of
that of Lesa's permits from the federal government. Now Biden
wants to say we can't do that anymore. We're gonna
put that on a ninety day Hold bye. Bye. But

(01:23:10):
but I'll tell you who is happy, Steve Cassio Cortez.
You know it says if we help shape the platform,
here's the reality. Here's a simple truth. Is that Joe Biden,
John Kerry, Peep Buddha, Judge Grant Home and the last
and all of these people that just you know, just

(01:23:32):
dismiss career jobs paying one hundred grand a year from
professional welders and pipe fitters and rig workers and oil
drillers and people and gas and coal. Okay, And they
chose their radical extreme AOC endorsed, Bernie Sanders endorsed radicalism

(01:23:53):
over the jobs of we the people. That's what happened here.
Now we can have governor, and we can have attorneys generals,
and they can bring lawsuits and they can fight in
the judiciary. But this is what I tried to warn
the country about way before the election. And it's not
about Hannity was right. No, I've told everybody this is

(01:24:18):
the most this is the most radical platform any major
party ever ran on. And I kept telling people they
mean it Now the mean it part is happening packing
the Supreme Court. Do you see statehood raising taxes on everybody?
You have the Commerce Secretary nominee, admitting such, it's all

(01:24:38):
happening sad. Back to our phones. Thanks, Steve, appreciate it.
Let's say hi to Leah as in Arizona. Hey, Lee,
how are you glad you called? Yes? Good afternoon, Sean.
I have a question for you, and I've been thinking
as a very concerned American citizen. I don't know if
you can get with Mark Levin, very very smart, great

(01:25:02):
constitutionalist that he is, to see if there's a way
that um, Vice President Biden could take be made to
take a cognitive test. Um, it's very obvious to me
that and probably to a decent amount of people that
he can barely put a sentence together. And Um, it's

(01:25:24):
really sad on just a person a person, the person level. Um,
you know, I believe by Hook or Cook, the Democrats,
they would make it happen if that had that, if that,
if there was right at this time, a Republican in
charge of running the country that acts the way Joe does,

(01:25:45):
seemingly having cognitive difficulties obvious ones. Oh, they make sure
that he I mean it, I've said it the whole campaign,
the week, the frail, the cognitively struggling Joe Biden. There's
nothing normal about how Joe is acting. He you know,

(01:26:06):
there's nothing normal about this last campaign. As I've been saying,
he lived under the Medium mob Big Tech candidate protection program,
and they let him hide in the basement the whole time.
That's what they let him do. My big concern is this,
and I'm not trying to brush you off. I bet
you even if he had a mini stroke and could

(01:26:29):
still move a hand, because I used to be an
ex self care professional, I bet you if he could
still find those executive orders, they would make a way
even if he had a stroke, to keep it hidden
so he can find those orders. And it's very sad.
It's really like elder abuse is sad, and his wife
needs to take him to the side of my opinion
that it is her husband. This listen, this decision, this

(01:26:51):
ship sailed a long time ago, and I listen. I'm
not a doctor. I'm not going to play one on
radio or TV. I'm just saying my observation, and I
know what happens to be the observation of many other people,
even people in the media, mom that don't think like
I do. Yeah, they're on pins and needles every time
he opens his mouth. Over time, we'll see how, you know,

(01:27:15):
the stamina, if he's fit and he's able to do
the job up to an acceptable level. And then the
American people, it's the policies are most afraid of now.
I just think that he's put the Radical Democratic Party
agenda ahead of working men and women, and now he
is implementing every radical policy that they want. It is

(01:27:36):
a socialist dream wish list and it's not gonna stop.
And if he can't get it done legislatively, they'll use
the reconciliation process. If they can't get it done that way,
they'll just do it by executive fiat. That's how they roll.
This is what I've been warning about. Thank you, Lee.
Let's say hi to Susan and Michigan. What's up, Susan?

(01:27:56):
How are you hello? How are you good? Thank you?
I am calling because we're hearing a lot of horrible
things and yeah, we know this is coming. That's why
we didn't vote for this person. That's why we didn't
vote for this regime. But what's the call to action?
I mean, we need to know what to do next.
Where are a Republicans? The most important thing I think

(01:28:17):
we can do is I think the states, in particular
attorneys generals, etc. Can do a lot and they can
challenge these executive orders in the judiciary. And look, I
don't have a lot of faith in that branch of government.
You get the wrong judge, it's over. You won't get
you won't get constitutionality, You'll get left wing judicial activism. Okay,
but there are more judges thanks to President Trump, that

(01:28:40):
believe in the constitution. That's one. Number two. State legislature
legislatures need to ensure confidence and integrity in the voting system.
And all of these respective states that you know, for example,
of the law allows for partisan observers to observe, they've
got to ensure that that happens. They got to follow
the law. If the states a state constitution doesn't allow

(01:29:03):
mail in voting, then if the state wants to change
the constitution, they must go through that process. State legislatures
need to follow the law, not circumvent their own states
constitution or the laws in Wisconsin. I you know, I
go back to the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision. If these

(01:29:25):
what we need is a simple stuff voter id let's
start there. Let's let's check all the voting roles in
every states for the good of the country. It doesn't
Wren like, how do we make sure that gets started? Like, well,
that stuff that happened happens at the state level. Do
you even most people don't know who they're state representatives
and state senators are. Did you know that your ship

(01:29:47):
at the top needs to make a concerted effort to
make the states the people that are in the states
that are in danger, like my state where fraud was rampant.
I mean, neighbor was a poll observer, he was at
the tcf BIL thing and everything they said was true,
and nobody cares. We need to do something. Now, I
think we're like the only show that interviewed eye witnesses

(01:30:08):
that signed off of David's under a penalty of perjury.
We might be the only maybe one or two others,
and they did nothing with them. You have it investigated
because of the incident that happened. They said, Well, because
this happened, we're really not going to look at any
evidence you have because one thing um makes the other
go away, and that that doesn't make anything. Now I'm

(01:30:29):
giving you the answer, and the answer is this is
that everybody listening to our voices right now. Both of
our voices need to know this. They need to know
that they've got to start at the state level. They've
got to encourage their attorneys generals. You know, if there
are executive orders immigration, whatever it happens to be, energy

(01:30:53):
that they can challenge these executive orders in the court.
They should do it on behalf of the citizens of
their state. Anyway, good call, I appreciate it. Thank you.
