So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, glad you're with us.
Can you believe one week from today is Christmas Day?
Where does the time go?
I mean, it just flies.
Unbelievable times we're living in.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
You know, now we have a second vaccine.
The one that the mob and the media, the ones that big tech told us, the one that Joe Biden said is not gonna be a miracle.
Well, it's kind of miraculous.
That is now done and now being distributed and now given uh approval and now being put in the arms of healthcare workers and providers on the front lines uh of this pandemic, uh, which is amazing, and and it's gonna be getting into nursing homes and then in the general population.
Uh has anyone in the media ever stop to think what an incredible accomplishment pushed driven by a guy that's a businessman named Donald Trump?
We can barely ever say a nice words about him.
It's a matter of fact, you're loving Democrats, open, kind, loving, you know, the one that thinks we're all mother effers.
I'm sorry, that's Joe Biden's chief of staff.
Um, like James Kleiber, and they're actually urging Biden to establish an independent commission that would assign blame for people that died from the pandemic.
And they want to put the blame, where do you think, on Donald Trump?
That's how sick it has gotten.
When you think it can't even get sicker, it does.
Congresswoman Omar complaining that about the dangerous criminal neglect of Trump and his administration.
Did anyone ever tell them that he's the one that built the hospitals, got the PPE, got the masks, got the gloves, got the ventilators, built the hospital, sent the Navy shifts and ships, etc.
No, I guess not.
Couldn't ever give them credit.
You know, I I don't know how I miss this.
Um American thinker, you you probably don't know this.
Remember, I told you there were the two most widely quoted studies on hydroxychloroquine.
We're both polled.
One was from Lancet, and I forget where the other one was.
I think it was the Journal of Medicine.
I don't, I'm not sure, but I know one was Lancet.
They were pulled because they weren't properly reviewed and wouldn't live up to a real peer review.
Pretty amazing.
Now we talked to you about Dr. Daniel Wallace, the foremost expert in hydroxychloroquine, who wrote his letter back in April that the risk of using hydroxychloroquine and the doses we're talking about are nil.
And again, it was Dr. Oz saying, well, of course, we wish we had the studies that could prove this, this, this, and this, but if the risk is nil, uh, what have you got to lose?
You go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.
And we have people like Dr. Harvey Reich on this program and Dr. Josh Umber on this program, and Dr. Oz on this program, and our medical aid team on this program, and people from Baylor and people from UCLA and all over the country.
Put them all on.
They were all telling you, no, it actually taken early.
Now there's numerous studies, starting with the Henry Ford study that showed, yeah, you taken early, it actually is very helpful.
The AMA, when none of us were looking, American Medical Association.
Now, they had vehemently opposed hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID.
Now we have results that say the opposite.
The mob and the media, because Donald Trump mentioned it, they just were clubbing him every day over it.
Now they've reverse course.
And I bet most of you didn't hear about this.
The foremost group of medical experts now apparently agree with Donald Trump that hydroxychloroquine is safe and it's an effective COVID treatment.
Thanks for telling us all nine months too late.
And by the way, Dr. Reich has said, now he's the Yale University professor of epidemiology.
We actually had a nice webinar with him and Louis Gomert and Rand Paul, et cetera.
I think we can put it back up if we on Hannity.com.
He said that if the medical establishment had endorsed the use of hydroxychloroquine early on, instead of flooding the public with bogus information to discredit this life-saving medicine, a whopping 75,000 to 100,000 American lives could have been saved.
Gee, thanks a lot, American Medical Associations.
And all you uh, all of you other people that play politics with a pandemic and still are playing politics with a pandemic.
The AMA, adamantly against hydroxychloroquine for the past year, a few days before the presidential election, they reversed course.
They reversed their opposition.
The end of October very quietly issued a new statement conveniently overlooked by the mob, giving the green light to doctors to prescribe it to their COVID patients.
Resolved that our AMA rescinds its statement calling for physicians to stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine until sufficient evidence becomes available to conclusively illustrate that the harm associated with the use outweighs the benefit early in the disease course.
The updated position is we clarify our support for a physician's ability to prescribe the FDA approved medication for off loose use label.
If it is in her or his best clinical judgment with specific reference to the use of hydroxychloroquine and a combination of therapies for treatment of the earliest stages of COVID-19.
Well, what really changed since last spring?
The aforementioned Harvey Rish, uh, the guy from Yale, who we've had on this show, the number of Americans had died.
He's saying 75,000 to 100,000 people might have saved their lives.
Anyone gonna have an investigation, James Kleiber, and he's now gonna have an independent commission looking into that?
I mean, it's really insane out there on every level on every topic.
You got Louis Farrakhan, apparently good friends with Warnock, uh, is actually losing it.
And now, you know, white devils and my God teaches me the white man is the skunk of the planet earth, and obviously violently anti-Semitic.
He's now claiming and urging his disciples to abstain from taking the coronavirus vaccine because it contains, quote, toxic waste and was designed by white devils and crackers to hurt black people.
Hour-long speech that a virtual speech to the National African and Black Leadership Summit this week.
He goes on to say the vaccine is part of a death plan that began with whites making blacks more vulnerable to coronavirus.
We have to survive because the death plan is in motion.
What is the death plan?
We're so frightened over this COVID.
Well, now they're getting us ready for the vaccine.
And he said, brothers and sisters, do you believe that Satan is concerned about vaccinating you?
You trust him after all that he's done to destroy us, you trust him, and your trust is sickening because you love your enemy and you hate yourself.
You could allow him to stick a needle into you and say he's helping you.
Okay.
Trump says the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine distribution will start immediately.
Well done, medical researchers.
Mike Pence got it done on video.
Uh I felt sorry for the poor nurse.
It had nothing to do with the vaccine, but she passes out, I think at the sight of blood or whatever.
And, you know, a lot of people have that condition.
It's very common.
So I get an article, I got a column written by Newt Gingrich today, and I'm in the middle of doing usual normal show prep.
And I read it.
Why I will not give up.
I don't know about a lot of you, but this has been like an emotional roller coaster for me.
It's been hard.
I mean, these five years of Donald Trump from the day he came down the escalator.
I mean, we've been through a lot.
From, you know, I I'm I got the crap beat out of me daily for saying that he would govern conservatively.
People didn't believe me.
They thought I was nuts.
How could you say that?
He said this once.
He gave money to Hillary.
He did this.
He was pro-choice for a while.
Now he says he's pro-life and you believe him.
And the answer I gave was, yeah, I do.
And I vouched for him because that's what I truly believed, and I have an obligation to tell you the truth.
I never thought in this country we would live through a scenario where deep state powerful operatives would use a Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier as the basis to spy on a presidential candidate and then a president.
It happened.
And nobody in the media cared.
They still stand by their Russia collusion hoax.
They've never recanted their false stories and false narratives, and the Trump Russia collusion truthers are all over the place.
Then the whole impeachment thing with the brave, courageous, patriotic hearsay, anonymous whistleblower, non-whistleblower.
But now they ignore all the whistleblowers, just everyday Americans that sign affidavits under penalty of perjury that want to tell their stories about what they saw that was wrong about laws being broken during our most recent election.
So Newt writes this thing.
I'm going to read some of it to you.
Smart friend of mine, moderate liberal, asked why I was not recognizing Biden's victory.
He goes on, they made the case that Biden had gotten more votes.
Historically, we recognize the person with the most votes.
Normally, we accept the outcome of elections and just as we accept the outcome of sporting events.
Why is this different?
What caught my attention is New writes this next line.
He says, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings.
Because I think I think I've had the same issues with this.
It's very hard to believe it can happen here.
It really is.
I don't know.
I'm always thinking, what's the next whatever to drop on my head?
But I kind of believe that most of my life we're American.
This can't happen here.
Well, it's not only possible they spied on a presidential candidate.
It's not only possible they spied on a president.
They did, and that's not even never thought it would possible they wouldn't get put away for these crimes.
So far, they've mostly gotten away with it.
I never thought it would be possible that, you know, laws just shun to the side and irregularities and are the likes of which I've never seen in my lifetime before could happen.
It's happened here.
That's why so many of us are so angry.
Anyway, so he goes, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feeling.
As I thought about it, I realized my anger and my fear were not narrowly focused on votes.
My unwillingness to relax and accept the election was grew out of a level of anger and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years of involvement in public affairs.
And he said the challenge is that we are not disagreeing with the left within a commonly understood world.
This is what makes this different.
He's right.
But that was the same with Russia.
The same with Ukraine.
They cared about foreign interference.
Why didn't they care about the dossier?
If they cared about quid pro quos, why didn't they care about Joe using a billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor fired to protect millions going to a zero experienced son?
They know there's nothing wrong with that.
They did it simultaneously, impeaching Trump when they had one eyewitness that said, Yeah, he told me no quid pro quo.
And he writes, we live in alternative universes.
The left's universe is mostly the established world of the forces who have been dominant for most of my life.
My world is the populist rebellion, which believes we're being destroyed.
Our liberties are being canceled, our religions are under assault.
And he talks about, you know, governors keeping open casinos, but they keep churches closed.
And the COVID policies have enriched the very wealthy who have done really well while crushing middle class and small business owners, and points out rightly 160,000 restaurants may close.
Then he talked about some history involving Andrew Jackson and the controversial results and the old order and what he stood for, etc.
And then He talks about when my candidate won.
It was blamed on Russians, which we know four years later, Clinton's own team financed the total lie.
And the FBI twice engaged in criminal acts.
One in avoiding the prosecution of someone deleting 33,000 Ewa emails and had a subordinate use of a hammer to physically destroy hard drives and phones and a second time lying to Pfizer court judges to destroy, for example, General Flynn and crippled the new president.
The Democrats wanted to cooperate with Trump so much they began talking about impeachment before he was ever elected.
And he talks about the Washington Post.
Then he talks about Madonna.
I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Remember that.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes, inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.

So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
As we roll along, Sean Hannity show.
So Nuke goes on in his column.
And so much they began to talk about impeachment before he was even elected.
Think about what they put this man, his family, and any supporters through, because we're all a bunch of mother effers, according to Joe Biden's team.
Anyway, and then goes on to you know, point out what Madonna said, dreaming an awful lot about you know blowing up the White House.
And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything.
You but this is the hallmark of revolution.
Yes, I'm angry.
Yes, I am outraged.
Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
What was the reaction to that?
Not much.
Newt goes on about when Twitter, Facebook censored the oldest, fourth largest newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton because it wrote accurately as we now know.
Where were the New York Times and Washington Post?
Where was the pious democracy dies in darkness?
Tragically, Washington Post is now part of the darkness, he goes on.
Zuckerberg spending 400 million hiring city governments to maximize turnout in democratic districts.
You know, the censoring and and of all conservatives, he mentioned Russia in particular, five tweets in a day censored.
When I read that Apple has a firm ruling uh uh of never irritating China and Beijing and all the deep stuff, says the election process itself was the final straw in creating a crisis in confidence, which is now accelerating and deepening.
And goes on to say, when I watch story after story about election fraud being spiked, something sick is going on.
And then he goes, the censorship of a of the hundred percent true Hunter Biden story in the family of the Democratic nominee of the last president, all this money.
Said censorship worked exactly as it was intended.
Biggest donation out there this year.
Officials in virtually every swing state breaking the laws.
Whistleblowers, I'll add my words now, ignored.
Laws broken, Laws shifting, laws changing, dead people on the voting rolls, rejection rates 27 times less than what they were in 2016.
You not see that this is really dangerous.
We'll continue.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, 25 now to the top of the air.
I know Christmas is next week, and I'm not in the Christmas spirit.
Is anyone there in the Christmas sphere yet?
I'm not in the Christmas spirit.
I guess kids are in the Christmas spirit.
Good for them.
Maybe we ought to end up go back and return as children and see if the world becomes a little more sane.
Uh 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, it's just there's a very powerful column that I thought knew wrote here.
I mean, you just think a lot of these things can't happen in America.
And the thing is is the left never cared about Hillary's dirty dossier, Russian disinformation.
She paid for it.
We were all lied to about it.
They knew that the subsource and Steele's dossier said this is all BS.
And they still used it as the bulk of information to require Pfizer warrants to spy then on a president that point.
They knew that in January 2017.
They dragged the country through hell.
Hillary got away, distracted away from the 33,000 deleted emails that had been subpoenaed.
I doubt any of us would get away with that.
And then you have they never verified, the top of a Pfizer application says verified.
Never did that either.
Had no problem destroying Carter Page's life, had no problem, you know, doing what they did to General Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort.
Who else?
I'm forgetting somebody.
And, you know, 29 guys, tactical gear, frogmen, CNN cameras for lying to Congress, the Horowitz report.
Yeah, they actually referred uh the top brass in the FBI for the exact same thing.
Did anything happen?
No.
You just stop and you think, I never thought that could happen.
But it did.
You know, I guess the tipping point for me is I listen, and we're gonna have some whistleblowers on today.
This story is incredible.
One got fired for just telling her story.
These are just these are these are our fellow American citizens signing affidavits, just wanting to tell their story.
The whole impeachment thing, what was it based on?
It was based on the fact that there was one brave we were told, courageous, we were told, patriotic, we were told, anonymous.
I knew the name, but I respected the anonymity.
He said you can find it if you want.
Google it.
And that's one.
You know, one hearsay whistleblower wasn't even a real whistleblower.
Got whistleblowers all over the place in the states that we're talking about.
It was an amazing document I spent a lot of time reading today as well.
It's called the Immaculate Deception, six key elements of election irregularities put out by Peter Navarro.
And he goes through an executive summary that's pretty devastating.
And looking at the fairness, the integrity of the 2020 elections, let me tell you something.
This this is going to be studied for decades to come.
He identifies six specific areas where we've had problems, and he's not wrong.
Voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause, machine irregularities, significant statistical anomalies, all of which we have touched on on this program.
And he goes through very specific numbers and very specific arguments that as you read it, if you were on a jury, it's it's pretty darn powerful.
The election irregularities that went on and then just so happens, the six battleground states.
I mean, do you really believe that Joe Biden was so popular he got 15 million more votes than Hillary and Barack Obama?
Do you really believe that while he underperformed from Hillary's vote numbers for totals from in major cities with African Americans and minorities, but just the six cities in the six states that we're talking about, he way overperformed in some cases by seven or eight percent.
You know, so then you know, when when we bring up the issue in Wisconsin about the law and how the in Wisconsin, early voting is prohibited.
They do have laws that accommodate people if they're confined to their homes, and then they would have these voter drives and have people literally say that they were confined to their homes at a park.
Some 200,000 impacted ballots, and the application process is prescribed and written in the statutory language totally ignored.
Or what happened in Pennsylvania, again, legal constitutional.
We have the legislature bypassing their own state constitution.
Then you have the whole Georgia fiasco of signature verification.
And, you know, look at the numbers of underage people, people that moved out of the state, dead people voting in Nevada.
None of that seemed to move people.
And then the Supreme Court not seemingly caring about the Texas lawsuit, you know, where is your standing?
Well, the standing is that if these four states don't follow the constitutional process as laid out in our own constitution, then the people of Texas and all the other states, 18 states that signed on to this thing, those voters' rights are disenfranchised.
But the hate is so palpable, so real against Donald Trump that it really doesn't seem to matter to a lot of these people.
And that's where, you know, now we're now we're teetering on the brink here.
If you're going to be able to use a dirty bought and paid for by one candidate, Russian dossier, but ignore everything, ignore that completely, it takes on breath breathtaking hypocrisy to do that.
And nobody's really been called out or held accountable for it.
If one group of people get to ignore subpoenas, subpoenaed emails, good luck with that.
I don't think it's going to work out well for us.
If you're conservative, you spit on the sidewalk, it looks like you're going to go to jail.
You lie to a Pfizer court, you say the material that you're putting in an application is verified, and nobody lifted a finger to verify it, then they actually prove it's unverifiable and false, but they continue to use the bought and paid for dossier.
How does that happen in the United States?
How do we have one simple law that partisan observers, statutory language that specifically states partisan observers can watch election counting?
And that's ignored, too.
How is it that the United States of America can send people to the moon and back and rover to Mars How is it possible that we have one firm area of agreement?
You never get the media, liberal Democrats, and conservatives to ever agree on anything today.
But they all agreed there were massive flaws in the Dominion voting system.
They all criticized it.
Klobuchar, Wyden, Elizabeth Warren, the professor at Princeton, tenured, It's an expert in this particular field of endeavor.
I never knew there were experts in this, but apparently there are.
Two tests in the state of Texas in 2019 did not meet their quality standards.
Three machines tested in Georgia.
This one came in last place, but that's the one they got.
I guess it was the cheapest.
I don't know.
I'm guessing.
How does that happen?
Don't Americans deserve the best system.
Why do all these European Union countries no longer rely on machine balloting?
Why do we why did we not know that the New York Times and actually the Baker Carter Commission all warned that mail-in voting lends itself to a lot more fraud?
How does a secretary of state bypass a state legislature in a lawsuit and come to a consent agreement that literally sets up two sets of standards for casting a ballot?
In this particular case, Georgia.
One one standard that's very rigid.
You need photo ID.
You have a signature database that verifies that the signature matches what's on the database of people that vote.
It's it's a high integrity system.
But if you mail in a ballot, there's no there's no voter ID.
And as long as the application matches what's on the ballot, that's good.
Meanwhile, they're supposed to have the signatures on the exact same computer system in the state.
And I guess the most unbelievable part of all of this for me, and it's just it's kind of hard to wrap your head around, isn't it?
Because you say to yourself, this kiss can't happen here.
It's happened.
You know, Lois Lerner happened.
The Benghazi lies happened.
And the mob and the media doesn't care because in this case, they just hate Donald Trump.
Big tech companies did what they did.
They censored information.
Same companies that had no problem printing everything, all related to the Russia Trump 2016 conspiracy theories.
Now everything, if any that's why I'm like, uh, okay, I gotta get off of Twitter and go on parlor.
That's why people are leaving.
By the way, I'd keep your Twitter account for a while and just tell everybody I'm gonna be using parlor.
Might as well use them for free advertising or rumble or any of these other people.
People are looking for alternatives.
I mean, it's um there's so much at stake here about the country.
By the way, we have just under 50,000 people have registered in Georgia between the general election and the runoff.
I had heard 108,000.
Are you right or am I right?
And that's an article that just came out now.
Um I read today 108,000 people that didn't vote in on November 3rd now have registered to vote.
So there's an article that came out in the Brunswick News that talks about the Georgia GOP uh taking on Glen County Board of Elections to court, citing potential uh for tabulation of double votes, and in that they talk about the fact that just in the time since the general election to right now,
there's 50,000 new voters, and I think a big part of that is because on Twitter, speaking of Twitter, uh Twitter and TikTok and Instagram, all these kids that are in college are talking about how they're being paid to move to Georgia and declare it their new residence and register to vote, and they're getting payoffs to do it.
Well, that was encouraged, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong by Stacy Abrams and not.
Oh, 100%.
And then uh then the Secretary of State for once did something.
By the way, do you see De Blasio's comments, Comrade de Blasio?
Our mission is to redistribute wealth.
We got to get our buddy Bodito.
Bo Deedle thinks I'm mad at him.
Can you tell Bodidle I'm not mad at him?
I uh I told him I don't have email anymore.
I love Bo Deedle.
He's a trip.
Anyway, our mission is to redistribute well.
That's what their mission is.
I'm just telling you, there seems to be there seems we have become so busy, I guess, and I'm not blaming people because I think see so many people trying.
I think the worst part to me though is, and we're gonna actually meet some in The next uh hour.
The worst part for me is when you when I've interviewed all these people that were ignored by everybody else in the media, these whistleblowers, I'm just like looking at them, and I'm like, that's like salt of the earth.
Great people that are not going to sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury about a about something that they did not actually see.
Now, you might have a few hardcore partisans that I guess might be stupid and willing to do that.
It would be stupid.
You don't lie under oath.
Period.
You don't do it.
You pay your taxes.
You just gotta pay them.
You know, friends say to me, yeah, I just take this deduction.
I'm like, you better pay taxes.
That's what I tell everybody.
Well, Hannity, you should fight for lower taxes.
I do fight for lower taxes.
Um, but the question is, you know, one of the things that you gotta remember historically as I was reading this, and I'm just thinking about it, is there is an ebb and there is a flow.
And I don't know what it is about the human condition.
And this was what we discussed at length with Live Free or Die, socialism's history of failure.
Is that there is there's this ridiculous appeal, and I understand it on the one hand.
Everything is gonna be free.
We're gonna take away every fear, natural fear that people have.
We're gonna give you college loan forgiveness.
We're gonna guarantee you a job.
We're gonna guarantee you a wage.
We're gonna guarantee you a vacation.
We're gonna guarantee you help healthy food.
We're gonna guarantee you the best health care.
You know, how to keep your doctor plan and save money workout, that we're gonna guarantee your retirement.
Well, how are they gonna pay for all that?
They're gonna push everybody, just like everybody's leaving New York and New Jersey and California, they're all gonna leave the United States next.
Everybody, who's the billionaire that left recently?
There's some billionaire guy, I think went to New Zealand.
There's a big story.
I guess they rich people aren't stupid.
The ones I know, I don't know anybody that have is a trust fund kid.
Everybody I know that has any money, they worked their ass off for it.
I don't know that that's that's all I know.
And yet this is the bastion of freedom.
And you look at you put all these things together and you say, well, it couldn't happen here.
All of it happened.
They spied on a president.
They spied on his campaign.
Nobody was held accountable.
That's dangerous.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.

Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN.
Our number, you want to be a part of the program.
Well, I'm not going to stop talking about it because it's that important.
And that is 18 days from now.
And that is actually ongoing with in-person voting in Georgia.
And it is it is so crucial.
It is so pivotal.
It is it the consequences of which are way beyond anything that I think I could really even fully completely explain more than I have.
And uh consequences for the president, consequences for the entire country.
Um, Raphael Warnock, listen, we have new tape on this guy.
I mean, you want to talk about somebody that has been radicalized.
It's you know, it's so amazing to me that all of this information exists and these guys think that nobody's gonna care.
I mean, this is a preview of coming attractions.
This is this is what life would be like because he will be a rubber stamp for all things radical, democratic, socialist.
It is what it is.
It just is, you know, reality.
And this is radicalism from a guy.
You know, they're they're literally if you want to preserve the president's hard work, if you want to protect the president's family, if you want real investigations into real abuse and power to continue, well then Georgia's gonna be important to you because radicalism awaits.
I mean, you he listen to this 2017 sermon, Warnock is is preaching about wanting to dismantle the American Empire to set the captives free and to preach the year of the law's freedom.
In other words, I came to dismantle the value system of the empire.
But here's the problem.
The religious folk who should be fighting with me against the empire are in cahoots with the empire.
It's religious folk who are trying to steal money from the poor and give it to the rich through this terrible tax bill.
There's some jacked-up theology coming from American pulpits.
And then again, this this is a guy.
We know about his extremist past praising Lois Farrakhan, the nation of Islam, comparing the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to George Wallace, repeatedly disparaging law enforcement officers, claiming Americans can't serve both God and the military.
Wow.
And you got the other extremist, John Ossoff.
Well, he now appears to be taking his quids from Congressman Swalwell and from quid pro quote Joe and Zero Experience Hunter, because in a new ad that David Purdue has put out, they're exposing some of Ossoff's troubling ties himself to the Chinese Communist Party.
Remember Christine Fang, his girlfriend, he doesn't say a word about the nature of the relationship.
Raises money, gets interns in his office.
You gotta be kidding me.
You know, he's on the House Intelligence Committee.
Got to be able to trust him.
What did he tell her when?
And we have a right to know, not because of any period interest of any kind.
We just need to know if he's compromised.
I already think Joe and Hunter are compromised by China and other places.
Anyway, listen to the new ad.
News reports recently uncovered that John Ossoff's being paid by the communist Chinese government through a media company with ties to a tech giant accused of spying.
Unbelievable, but absolutely true.
John Ozov won't hold China accountable.
He works for them.
Now we're finding out, in spite of denying it, uh, that Raphael Warnock, by the way, defended this guy, Reverend Wright, brought him in as a guest speaker at his church in 2014, flyer for the event found on Facebook, advertised Reverend Jeremiah Wright, guest preacher, Warnock's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church campaign spokesman for War Warnock's uh rival, Kelly Leffler, blasted the move.
Not only did he praise uh Reverend Wright, Mr. G. D. America himself, he thought it was so great he invited him uh to preach in the pulpit at his church.
Pretty amazing.
What's the state of this race?
Matt Towery, he's with uh insider advantage polling, syndicated calm list, John McLaughlin, Polster, McLaughlin and Associates.
Look, we've been going over this with this race.
As this new information comes out, I've got to imagine Matt Towery, and you're from Georgia.
This is this has got to have an impact on people.
Well, I think so.
I mean, Sean, you're from not from Georgia, but you spent a lot of time there.
You know that state on TV or radio.
Um, it's gonna be tight.
We know that.
Uh I am seeing some signs that things are shifting a little bit in the direction of the Republicans.
Some of these demographics we can watch the turnout on a day-by-day level.
And some of the demographics that they need in order to win are beginning to come into line.
So I'm a little more optimistic about the Republican chance on the Democratic side, though.
We've yet to see exactly the degree to which the combination of the way they count votes in Georgia, or don't count votes, combined with the rather brilliant efforts of Stacey Abrams.
How much effect that's going to have?
It clearly has had an effect.
There's been a long, a strong turnout early on in the early voting and the FT voting uh among the African American community, and that's a lot of her work.
But we'll have to see if the Republicans can catch up.
It looks like they're beginning to do so.
All right.
So my question is, Matt, is a hundred and eight thousand mail in ballot requests from people that didn't vote on November third.
That concerns me that number.
Yeah, and let me uh address something that's going around the media today to your point, Sean.
There's a discussion about how the Secretary of State in Georgia is now going to have a signature check of the of every county in Georgia.
That's not really true.
What it is is going to be a sample signature check done by the University of Georgia.
I don't expect to see anything out of that that would equal what would have happened if we'd actually had a real life signature audit.
So yeah, there's a lot of uh quite there are a lot of questions out there related to how these votes are counted, where they're coming from, these absentee ballots, and whether there's going to be any integrity in them this time, because there was a lot of question about the integrity the last time.
You're taking John McLaughlin and you're following it closely yourself.
That's true, because uh uh I'm watching Matt's polls, the insider Vander polls when when I I'd worked for Governor Deal in the past there, I've worked for Doug Collins in the past there.
They were always spot on.
And and Matt's last polls have a one-point lead for both Senator Purdue and Senator LaFlow.
That's way too close, way too tight.
And we know from the the November 3rd election that the state Secretary of State didn't keep records of the 600,000 votes that were cast in drop boxes that were funded by uh Mark Zuckerberg and strategized by uh uh uh Pluff, who was who was uh uh Obama's campaign manager.
And it's amazing that the the Secretary of State, without uh authorization from the legislature, signed a consent decree to allow these drop boxes to exist where you know that's the tool for ballot fraud.
And the Republicans here are struggling to keep up with this, and they stole the election from an effective.
I'm told the drop boxes, unlike the November election, are being monitored in real time and they're also being videotaped.
That's what I'm told.
Is that not true or is that true?
Well, if you videotape them and you have no signature verification, you're seeing people go up there, drop 20, 30, 40 ballots into these things, and you don't know where they came from.
Well, I don't think are people legally allowed to drop 30 ballots in a drop box?
Who's gonna they're they're just going up and drop it?
Well, it's gonna be on video, then you you you'd make an estimate of how you you you zoom in, you find out how many they're dropping in the box, and then you render them not legal.
I mean, you don't get 30 votes.
Nobody gets 30 votes.
But well, Sean, Sean, just think about how how much video helped us with State Farm Arena.
I mean, we actually saw video of all kinds of things going on there.
And even when they saw the video, they they it was right in front of their face.
No one oh it's fine.
It was declared fine by the Secretary of State and everyone else.
So, yes, you're not supposed to drop 30 ballots, but is that going to happen?
Very questionable.
Yeah, by the way, nobody stopped them last time.
They don't have records.
And we have a post-election survey where the 12 percent that voted in the drop box voted for Biden's 7327.
Now, those are live people that we actually talked to.
God knows what they did, and there's no locks.
So after the drop boxes, the ballots get picked up before they get returned to the Secretary of State.
What do they do with them?
They don't particularly like me in the Secretary of State's office or the governor's office.
They just tend to not return my calls.
I don't know why.
I'm a very nice person.
Um, but they won't return my call, but I'd like an answer to the question about whether or not the envelopes with the signatures on them are going to be retained for this election, which they weren't in the general election, number one.
Number two, uh, I'd like to know if the partisan observers, according to statutory language that are allowed to observe the vote count start to finish if they are making concessions and can taking into consideration uh social distancing so that there can be real observation of the vote count.
Is that does anyone have an answer?
Because I'm not getting answers.
I have absolutely no answer, and I've not my entire roots in my company are in Georgia in Atlanta.
I just simply don't know.
Um I don't think any really anybody really does know.
I know this anecdotally, now this is anecdotally, a state elected official told me uh yesterday that their ballot was sent in, the absentee ballot.
He scribbled his name, um allegedly, and uh to see if it was rejected and it was not rejected.
Now, I don't know if the actual check occurs now or if it cur occurs when they actually count the votes.
It's hard to say.
No one can give you a straight answer about the way Georgia elections operate, including the Secretary of State's office.
That's the really alarming part of this.
But the good news is I think there will be more vigilance this time.
They know the heat is on, and I think that will never to the benefit of these Republican candidates.
I don't think they'll get the treatment that Trump had in the general.
Not quite as bad.
I've got to believe that there's got to be some concerted effort this time to protect the integrity of the vote.
Uh and that would clue include voter ID.
Now, are mail-in ballots?
Is there any need for voter ID, John McLaughlin?
No, there's a need for signature verification.
And the voters in Georgia wanted to have a special session for signature verification, 58% to 38%, and Governor Kemp didn't call it.
And the country's watching this.
We have a poll this week where we said it's on our website, McLaughlin Online.com.
Do you believe there was election of voter fraud in the presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump back in November?
And among all voters in the United States, they said 46% yes, only 45% no.
So people are seeing this that President Trump, the I saw the president last week at the White House, and he said, you know, they stole the election.
I said, Yeah, I said it yesterday on Hannity Radio.
And he said keep say keep saying it.
And it's like your listeners understand the more evidence that comes out.
This is this was a national scandal where you the the two the two candidates, Biden and Trump, are separated by 43,000 votes in three states, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, out of 158 million votes that decided the election, 37 electoral votes.
So this election easily was stolen, and these drop boxes and the uh Dominion systems uh uh that their voting system are definitely the culprits.
And the more evidence that comes out that gets examined, the voters in the United States are seeing that there was fraud in the election, and Georgia needs to stop it right now before January 5th.
Now I did ask Kelly Leffler and I did ask Dave in Purdue this week if they felt confident that efforts were being made for poll watchers and lawyers and and chain of of custody issues and the drop boxes.
They they seemed assuring that there were uh what, 4,000?
I think Kelly Leffler told me that they had 4,000 people volunteering to be partisan observers of the vote counting.
The only question is they're gonna be six feet back, 20 feet back, 100 feet back.
Are they gonna be let in the building or not?
Are they gonna be kicked out of the building?
That we're gonna have ballots and suitcases this time, and only certain people get to stay after you throw out the media?
I mean, I I I'd like to know the answer to these questions before the fifth, but uh you know the people of Georgia don't have the luxury to sit it out and wait for the answers, Matt.
Sean, to your point, uh it hasn't been publicized in the newspapers and the like, but I've actually read the letter.
Fulton County, the elections board, decided to fire one of the individuals who was actually working uh as a poll worker, as someone who was helping look over how how votes were being counted.
They let her go after she testified at the Senate hearing that was held uh that Rudy Giuliani and others testified at uh just a few weeks ago and she's coming on the program right in the next hour.
Okay, well now you know.
So so that tells you they're not letting up.
This is gonna be hardball all the way to the finish.
Yeah, I I I you know the thing about Democrats is when they get committed to something, they they commit.
Republicans, oh, they're just they're so unfocused.
And you know, the president sent out a tweet.
Republicans need to learn to fight.
The one lesson that Republicans should have learned from Donald Trump is that if you make promises, keep them.
If you fight for what you said you were going to do, they will reward you with more votes.
In other words, talk doesn't get you there.
And from for too many politicians, swamp creatures, John McLaughlin, that's all we get is talk.
Talk talk, talk talk.
And and that's why the voters of Georgia need to get out and vote for Luffler and Purdue.
Because if we don't get out, and and now Matt and I know uh uh Robert Cahale, the other pollsters, they they're putting in a fraud factor.
We need to overcome that with real people getting out there and voting because there were five million votes on November 3rd.
There's already 1.1 million votes cast in Georgia, either in mail or early in person so far.
And if our Trump voters don't get back out, um, it'll be a terrible thing for the whole country.
And we're gonna do it.
Is that about the same percentage?
I mean, you're not expecting a vote turnout similar to election day, are you?
I think it's gonna be hard.
Getting stronger, Sean.
Yeah, it's gonna be a good thing.
You think this is gonna be stronger than on election day?
No, no, no, not stronger than election day, but it is getting stronger.
I thought it was weak to begin with, but now the turnout's beginning to look strong for a U.S. Senate runoff in the wintertime, and that nurse to the benefit of the Republicans.
So that's that's why when I we started the show, I said I'm beginning to see some indications that cause me to think the Republicans are picking up a little bit.
But what we gotta watch this.
The early voting has to stay strong, and Republicans like to vote on election day.
You've alluded to it several times, Sean.
What if we have a winter storm?
What if something happens and they can't get to the poll?
So the more people who go to early voting for the Republicans, the better they do.
Waiting till election day is probably not a smart idea.
All right, I'm gonna let you both go here.
Matt Towery and uh our friend John McLaughlin.
And I I don't know how many ways, times I can say it to the people of Georgia, but your country needs you right now.
Uh, even if you're angry and frustrated at local politicians, state officials, it doesn't matter.
We've got to try, as the the great movie Braveheart says.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.

25 now till the top of the hour, 800 nine four-one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh we continue uh with a lot more information on the state of Georgia.
One thing that is really frustrated me um in the course of this entire election and post-election, is that we were told when impeachment occurred at the if you can believe it, uh almost a year ago.
That's what we were talking about.
Um we were told that whistleblowers were brave.
Whistleblowers were courageous, whistleblowers were patriotic.
And the whole impeachment debacle, and it was, was based on an anonymous, and it turns out to be not even a real whistleblower, a hearsay whistleblower, non-whistleblower, and with one fact witness.
Everybody else was either an opinion witness or hearsay witness.
The one fact witness said no, the president said no quid pro quo.
Said it.
Um ignoring, by the way, the the breathtaking uh example of of quid pro quo Joe firing the prosecutor and zero experience hunter, but I don't want to digress.
All of these people that have signed affidavits under penalty of perjury, all of these people that have told their stories, notice they're not being called heroes.
They're not being called courageous, they're not being called patriotic.
They're being ignored by the mob.
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them.
We have not ignored them.
I have found their stories believable, compelling, enlightening, and yeah, they've been courageous in telling these stories.
There's even been some blowback for many of them.
Bridget Thorne joins us.
She is a Georgia precinct manager for AC 13, John's Creek, and also a poll tech.
She was certified, interestingly, by Dominion, who subsequently fired her for speaking out about what she saw as infractions that she observed on the day on election day and the days that followed.
Susie Boyles is also with us.
She is the Georgia State Director, National Board of Directors, who also worked on the day of the election, November 3rd.
Longtime poll manager in Georgia says she suspected fraud uh based on what she observed in the hand audit process.
We bring back Garland Favorito is with us uh to discuss the findings that that he has talked about with us in the past about Dominion and some other things.
Now, Susie, uh, you're I'm gonna start with you.
You're a longtime poll manager, And you suspect that and you suspect fraud based on things you you saw.
Now, did you sign an affidavit?
I did sign an affidavit and um You know that's under penalty of perjury if you lie on that, right?
That's correct.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
And you tell us what you said you served over two decades, I understand it, as a Fulton County poll manager.
Tell us.
Um if I can take just one second, our oath actually says I will use my best endeavors to prevent any fraud, deceit, or abuse and carrying out the same, and the same means the election, and it goes on from there.
Um and I took that oath very seriously.
I saw um issues with a lack of chain of custody throughout from the Sunday prior throughout the election, seals were broken, uh seals were non-existent, doors with memory cards did not have the proper seals on them.
Um our poll pads were not programmed properly, and that was one thing that bothered me because they they reprogrammed them as they would my Apple computer.
But I'll skip forward to where I was recounting.
Um I was asked to, in quotes, audit um ballots uh on the four starting on the 14th and anticipated to the following Wednesday.
That would have been Saturday through Wednesday.
Um the first box we were given, there again, it was just taped clearly together.
I mean, with clear packaging tape, it had the secretary's seal slapped on the top, but nobody had signed it.
So there was no evidence as to who had handled that box last, where it had been handled, and we were given a seal to seal it again when we were done.
But we went through this box and all of a sudden these were set together in batches of a hundred.
And one particular batch, when I pulled it out, was just such a stark contrast.
It didn't have any soil from your hands or um no little bending of the pages.
They were stark white, they were pristine white with no folds in them.
And this particular batch happened to have had a hundred and ten in the batch, which was unusual to begin with.
You know, I mean I'm listening to I'm listening just to your voice and you know, doing talk radio for thirty-three years, you get to under you you get to know a lot about people but on their voice.
You hardly sound like the type of person that is gonna sign a legal affidavit uh under penalty of perjury and lie about what you saw.
So these ballots that are separate and apart uh are pristine if I'll use the word I believe you used on TV.
And no folds, no bent engine uh edges, and you believe that that was a sign of fraud, because the stark difference between the rest of the ballots, correct?
That was the first thing that made me pay attention to this batch.
Right.
The second the second thing was the way they felt.
They just felt differently, and I've been doing this for over twenty years, so you know, you know how things feel.
But the and that's based on your experience of doing it two decades.
Bridget Thorne, let's talk about your experience.
Oh gosh, where do I start?
Um You got fired, by the way.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Have you gotten another job?
Yeah.
Well, I I I was just a tenth employee.
I'm a precinct manager.
I've worked about nine years as a Fulton County precinct manager, and I decided to get certified to be a tech worker um and be trained by Dominion, and then I got called down to the warehouse um to work as a a poll tech.
And you know, down there I just saw things like real ballots from early voting that weren't secure.
You know, they just came in by the thousands from state arm arena, and just anybody in the warehouse could just open them up, dump them in suitcases, people left them, went to dinner, you know, they were just everywhere.
Um I was told, you know, don't worry about it.
You know, there was no oath, no two people at a scanner.
Um they weren't sealed when I left at 10 o'clock at night.
You know, some of them are still just sitting on the floor in suitcases.
The next day I came back.
Is that normal in all the years you've been doing this to see ballots and suitcases?
Why does that strike me as very suspicious?
Well, the manager, if we open up the ballot box, we have to announce we're opening the ballot box.
There has to be two of us there.
You know, there's uh a box, not a not a suitcase, right?
Right.
But we put them in a transport suitcase at the end of the night, and we have to seal it, and then we take it to two people have to take it to the check-in center.
Because it can never be left alone by itself.
So it's kind of appalling that there's these people, they and most of them were friends and family of Dominion that were working down there, except for the poll tax.
And they were just taking ballots and jumping them out everywhere, and I don't know.
I I was concerned.
I expressed my concern and I was scolded that they've been doing it all week.
Don't worry about it.
Um then I was in charge, my job down there was to print test ballots, and we printed real ballots on real paper, and they would go lost, they would go missing.
I could print whatever ballot I wanted to print.
And one night, late at night, I found people printing random ballots at the stations.
So that was just kind of a concern.
Um and then the day of election, um, we are given emergency ballots in our precinct.
Um, my precinct got four hundred emergency ballots.
And these emergency ballots are also absentee provisional emergency ballots.
So they can be used for all three purposes.
Um and mine didn't show up for my my 400.
They gave me just cheap sample yellow paper ballots, and when I called the warehouse, I couldn't find them.
And they still to this day, they I don't know where my 400 absentee provisional emergency ballots are.
So that's was kind of a concern.
And I went through the proper channels.
Um I felt my I felt my concerns were bipartisan concerns.
I so before the election and after the election, you know, I I sent emails to Fulton County elections, never heard back.
I contacted the Secretary of State before and after the elections, I never heard back.
I called into the state board of elections meeting, and I was muted after 15 seconds of speaking.
The first time they don't care.
Let me tell you what it is.
Isn't that sad?
They don't care.
Yeah.
The first I hear back is two days ago when they told me I was no longer needed as a precinct manager.
After ten years, you're you're done.
No more help from you.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I'm sure you get paid a lot of money doing that, don't you?
I do, just yeah, loads.
Um the same person that sent me the letter to tell me I was no longer needed, it's the same person that prior to the election wanted to know if I'd be interested in instructing other poll workers.
Unbelievable.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back with real whistleblowers.
Bridget Thorne, Susie Boyles, Garland Favorito.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.

All right, as we continue with real whistleblowers, you know, the brave, courageous, patriotic type that the mob has been ignoring.
Bridget Thorne, Susie Voiles and Garland Favorito are with us.
Let me bring in Garland, and you know, on top of your story, which you've told us on radio and TV, and you're hearing all of this.
You know, the one thing that stands out in my mind and really I find extraordinarily frustrating, bordering on rage at times, is nobody wants to hear from the Susie Boyles, the Bridget Thorns, or the Garland Faberitos of the world.
And you know, the brave patriotic label of whistleblowers goes out the window.
Your thoughts.
Well, thank you, Sean.
And uh you're right.
I am really upset about what happened to Susie and Bridget, because I know them both uh personally.
And uh what is really frustrating me, let's add a little bit more to the story here, that the just minutes before we um uh are recording this actual show, the Secretary of State says that he is uh issuing a a call and for against uh the firing of Bridget and Susie.
But what he didn't do, this was political cover, because what he didn't do, he didn't open an investigation into why they were fired.
What he did was he put out a press release.
So I just want to make sure that it's not just Fulton County, it was bad enough, but the Secretary of State is still continuing to cover up for Fulton County, and that's just totally unacceptable.
You know, um listen, I will tell you that it is it is just an amazing thing as you as you all watch this.
Bridget, you get fired.
Susie, you've been doing this for decades, and nobody wants to hear from you people.
Um I always thought the American people were the heart and soul of everything that makes the country great.
And you're just trying to tell your story, all of you signing these affidavits, and I'm like, nobody is does anybody from the media in Atlanta asked to talk to you besides me?
Well, I guess CNN is too far away.
Um Sean, that's that's a great point because there is a blackout here of this whole issue by the local news media, and we have to go to folks like yourself to actually or code.
Now we're stuck with you, Hannity.
You're all we got.
Go ahead.
Yes.
You're making me feel great, Garland.
I'm feeling great about myself.
Go ahead.
That's okay.
We love you.
Well, you used to live here.
So yeah, so so that it's very frustrating because we have all these sworn affidavits, and then you'll get a news organization to just polyparroth, whatever the Secretary of State says, it's un when it's unsubstantiated, and it has no basis in fact or or substance.
And the and they'll they'll quote that and then they'll let these all these sworn affidavits that we have made just uh go down the drain and be ignored.
So it's very very frustrating for the for the get local news media coverage here.
Unv unbelievable.
Well, the only thing I can say is thank you to all of you.
Um you know, I I I think I can hear a lot, you can hear somebody's heart and their voice a lot.
They always say that radio is a heart medium, and I'm sure it's not easier, but most of you or none of you had ever signed a affidavit before, but you did hear because you thought it was that important, and so many others, hundreds and hundreds around the country have, only to be ignored by news media that only seems to like anonymous hearsay whistleblowers,
not the real people with real eyes on the ground that have real experience, in some cases decades, and the irregularities that happened in all of these states.
Um the sad tragedy in this is that we you we get to a point the American people don't have faith, trust, confidence, uh, and a belief that there's integrity in our elections.
And we got another one on January 5th in your state.
Anyway, I'm gonna give you a final thoughts, Bridget.
What do you want to tell people?
Um, I just want everyone to know I would you know I'm reluctant to go to the media.
I'm not a public person, but I'm just forced to when there's been no response from anyone in charge.
I finally got the chance to testify at the Senate hearing.
I thought somebody in election would respond.
And instead, a senator tweets out that she seems to force to listen to Bonker's conspiracy theories.
And now instead of addressing the potential fraud, they've decided to fire the whistleblower.
Where does a concerned citizen go?
I you know, I mean, it's just so frustrating.
Is anything gonna be fixed?
Is anyone listening?
Uh I really begin to wonder.
You know, uh the the trust I have in institutions is now almost completely eroded away.
And all my thoughts over all these years that it can't happen in America, it happened.
That's sad.
Bridget, thank you.
Susie Boyles, thank you.
Garland, thank you.
We appreciate you telling your story.
When we come back, uh a lot more we're gonna get to, uh, and your calls straight ahead as we continue.
This is Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney.
I have been a combat fighter pilot for nearly 20 years and witnessed the heroic sacrifice required to keep America free.
Thirteen years ago, God inspired me to start Folds of Honor.
Our mission is unwavering.
Honor the sacrifice by providing educational scholarships to the families of our fallen and disabled veterans.
The need is great.
In the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan, over two million military families have suffered death or permanent disability.
Nine out of ten received no federal education assistance.
Folds is proud to stand with these families and provide the life-changing gift of education.
We have awarded nearly 28,000 scholarships since our inception.
Please join our mission to educate America's most heroic families.
Visit Folds of Honor.org and join our squadron with your $13 per month pledge.
Freedom is not free.
This is your call to duty.
So by the way, uh Lieutenant Dan Rooney, he's really been the founder of an awesome tra j uh charity.
We've talked about I I know he's been featured on Fox a lot, Folds of Honor.
He has a brand new book out Fly Into the Wind.
It actually actually came out in November.
Uh I had the honor of writing a blurb for it because I believe it to be a 100% true.
It's a powerful read.
And, you know, he's a fighter pilot, three combat tours in Iraq, PGA professional, amazing story, founder of the Folds of Honor.
They've raised now more than 135 million and awarded more than 28,000 scholarships to the family members of fallen or disabled soldiers.
He's a two-time recipient of the Top Gun Award and has received many decorations, including the Distinguished Medal of Service, uh Distinguished Service Medal to be more accurate.
Also the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Air Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Air Expeditionary Medal.
I mean, for his service and patriotism.
Uh he was also given a volunteer service award by President George W. Bush and the Air National Guards Director Service Award and the Ellis Uh Island Medal of Honor.
I mean, this guy is pretty amazing.
Uh anyway, today, by the way, is Dan's birthday and his 22nd wedding anniversary.
Uh congratulations on both.
You got married on your birthday.
Pretty clever.
Yeah, Sean, it's uh a blessing to be with you and thanks for uh the support and the awesome blurb for flying to the wind.
Tell us, you know, your life is so amazing.
How do you go from being this amazing fighter pilot, three tours of duty, to then being a PGA professional?
Well, Sean, I you know, I grew up, it was my dream as a 12-year-old kid.
I told my dad, I was like, Dad, I want to be a golf pro and a fighter pilot.
And have been really blessed to uh to continue to do both of those, uh, serve in the United States Air Force Reserves and be a PGA professional and you know, combine those uh more importantly to uh to support the military families that we do at Folds of Honor.
Yeah.
You know, it's just an amazing, amazing life story.
And how did how did this all come about?
Because you become one of the you know biggest organizations helping the military uh in the country, then tell us how that all came to be.
Well, you know, I I always say and one of my favorite things in the book, I talk about go before you're ready.
And I think that's the the common DNA that ties you know great things together um and in life.
And you know, we started this organization above our garage, literally, and uh no money.
Um I'm not very smart, but uh I had a passion in my heart, and thirteen years later, 28,000 scholarships, about a hundred and forty million dollars out the door to provide education to spouses and children who've had somebody killed or disabled.
And Sean, I think one of the really cool things that's come to light this year about Folds of Honor is that forty-one percent of our recipients are minorities.
And you know, my humble opinion is the only way we find equality in this country is is through education.
And you know, we're proud to uh to support these families and make sure that they're not left behind.
You know, I I mean you think of the sacrifice.
One of the things that I've been really, really focused on, and Donald Trump, you know, as has talked about long protracted conflicts and wars and boots on the ground.
One thing that has changed, uh, for example, post-9-11, we did not have the the modern weapons of warfare that we currently have.
Nando, I think you're always gonna need intelligence assets, some people on the ground in locations, gathering other intelligence, et cetera.
Uh yeah, that's probably always going to be needed and critical and crucial.
But the idea that we can hit with pinpoint accuracy, the the head of a pin in any place in the globe by pushing a button in Tampa, Florida is pretty impressive to me.
But more importantly, that means, you know, we're not going to have a situation, hopefully ever again, where our our our national treasure, our young kids are banging door to door, um, you know, going house to house in a in a godforsaken place like Iraq at like it was at the time.
Yeah, I'm and it's hard to believe him.
I mean, I spent uh, you know, the better part going back and forth over a decade of my life to Iraq.
And you know, you look in the rear view mirror, and I think all of us agree that you know, this is not the highest and best use uh of our military, but the realities are that you know, we lost a lot of lives.
Um there is true, you know, tremendous, you know, psychological issues that our veterans are dealing with, and really that's that's where we're able to step in at folds, and you hope that we always learn from the lessons of the past to your point, and that we do this more efficiently and um and not put masses of of soldiers in in harm's way.
It's amazing when President Trump took off the the handcuffs that had been placed on our brave men and women in the military and these idiotic rules of engagement of the Obama administration.
Well, then and only then were they able to beat back the caliphate because guys like you, fighter pilots went in and frankly they bombed the living daylights out of them with pinpoint accuracy, avoiding as much collateral damage as we call it, or civilian casualties as we call it, and doing it effectively.
Yeah, and and just having the cuffs off to your point to be able to do the job.
And I've you know been fortunate to serve under three commanders in chief, President Bush 43, who's a dear friend and and a good golf buddy now and great supporter of folds, uh President Obama.
I swear, you're just dropping names here and there.
And uh and uh in president.
Is he a good golfer?
Because I suck.
Is he good?
Yeah, he's he's pretty good.
He plays really fast, and uh I love that.
There's a rule to have two balls in motion, and uh he is uh he's really good.
He tends to miswrite, which uh makes sense when you think about it.
By the way, I don't think anyone plays faster than Trump.
He does around in two hours, drives on the green on the tees, he doesn't care.
No, have you played with him a few times?
I went out with him, let's put it that way.
Plays a whole different ball game.
So the it's the most bizarre thing is if you're in a golf cart and you're a president of the United States, I mean, the fairways are literally, you know, you got guys with you know big huge weapons and 40 carts all around you and red dots all over my forehead.
Uh, you know, it didn't help with my putting.
No, but you can never lose a golf ball with secret service.
It is awesome.
They're forward deployed to find your errant shots.
Yeah, did they roll it for you?
Do they move it out of the junk and move it from behind the tree for you?
Uh I'm not for President Bush.
He's he's an honest golfer.
I can't speak for President Trump.
I don't want to play with him.
I don't want to play with anybody that's good at golf, because I only play uh I suck golf, which is uh hit it in the bushes, just drop another ball.
Yeah, but you're but you're passionate about it, Sean.
And that's all.
No, I'm not that passionate about it.
I mean, that that game has passed me by.
It used to be a good athlete.
That that sport has humbled me.
And I think that, you know, I used to be a hockey player, so I can if I do connect, I hit it far.
I got a long drive.
Um, but it's a matter of whether it's gonna go straight, left or right.
You never know.
It's always a guessing game.
It is.
It is a lot, uh, it's a good metaphor for life.
Yeah.
Well, listen, I wanted to wish you first a happy birthday, second, a happy anniversary.
Third, I want to thank you for all the good work you do every day.
And fourth, I want to remind people we put your book up on Hannity.com.
It's on Amazon.com, bookstores anywhere.
Great gift for the holidays, you know, fighter pilot, three combat tours, then a PGA professional who's offering me free golf lessons because I I'm so bad at it.
Um, I'm only kidding on that part.
But uh, Dan, thanks for all you're doing every day, Colonel.
We appreciate you always being with us.
And God bless you, Sean, and Merry Christmas to the whole crew there.
Amen.
We got a great team here.
All right, on this uh Friday, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh you know, Linda, what are you doing for Christmas?
You've been so busy.
You've been working with so many people.
Yeah.
Um, you know, trying to get to the bottom of all this election stuff, like all of us have been.
Yeah.
And you got little Liam, who's what, five now, right?
He's five.
I can't believe that kid is five.
And by the way, he's all boy.
This kid looks like he's about to rip.
He looks like he's about 15.
I love this kid.
This kid is uh, you know, the he's like a parent's dream, except nightmare too.
Because you know what you know who he reminds me of?
Me.
Yeah, I don't envy your mother in law.
God rest their souls.
You don't envy what?
I don't envy your mother or your father.
God rest their souls.
Well, you know, my mother said, don't leave this house.
I say, I would always say, you can't stop me.
And I'd walk out.
Isn't that horrible?
This the sketching, the egg throwing, all that stuff.
Oh, no, that's uh you don't even begin with the real stories because then it gets worse.
But um, so does and I is he still into trains because they always loved in past Christmas train sets.
Yeah, our world is all about trains and uh and nerf guns and looking for the city.
Oh, you mean Santa's gonna bring a nerf gun?
How shocking.
Yes, our Santa believes in two-way freedom and the Constitution.
He's a big Trump fan in our house, so Santa is all about it.
The wonderman in a kid's eye on Christmas Day when they come down.
Oh Santa came.
Well, we have been doing we have a letterbox in our house where we uh put letters in for Santa.
It says Santa's letter box, it's right by the stairwell.
And uh Liam.
What is Uncle Sean getting him?
Go ahead.
We're just saving our republic.
The best gift we can give our children is to fight for our country.
That's what I'm doing anyway.
I I encourage all American citizens to call their legislators and fight for your country.
It's yours to fight for.
Period.
End of sentence.
I have never seen such poor handling of not only the machinery, um but the chain of custody from the very beginning.
That was so flawed.
I voted in person.
Everything went fine after that.
The next day, um, my mom called the voter center and was told that somebody voted absentee in my name on October 7th.
Well, there's Did see the double counting on the jams.
Um, I saw that several times.
Um, they would take the ballots that were just just scanned and just rescan them again.
Something profoundly wrong occurred in Wisconsin during the presidential election, and the American people have a right to know about it.
I I there's no doubt this was stolen.
No doubt whatsoever.
I don't have any doubt in my mind.
And it's like, I cannot believe I I think I sent you, I sent it to James for sure today.
The article by Newt that we went over earlier in the program.
I'm reading this thing and I'm like, I always thought, I wrote him back, I always thought this could never happen here.
And I you know I always brag that I'm I don't get stunned or shocked anymore.
This is all stunned me and shocked me.
And I just, you know, the fact that and people ignoring like the whistleblowers we had on today, that stuns me.
I mean, I I just didn't think Russia could ever happen, or Ukraine could ever happen, or ignoring the Biden's foreign family, you know, corruption syndicate could ever happen, or not vetting a candidate could happen, or a candidate could hide in their basement and never get asked a tough question can happen.
It's like it's just culminating into like an avalanche of my head, and I'm like, what the hell has happened here?
Yeah, I mean, I have to say Newt's been one of the most amazing leaders in this whole process.
You know, Newt has really been speaking out and telling people, you know, to stay the course.
And it's not just about Georgia.
You know, the raw data supports us, and that's what really matters.
So you need to call your legislators.
You need to ask for a recount.
Our eyes do not deceive us.
We can all see with plain eyes what's happening.
Don't give up.
You know, celebrate the birth of Christ by fighting for the country that he gave you so that you can know that you did everything that you could so that the person that you voted for actually sits in that office.
Now everybody knows the Linda We know.
I think that was well.
You know, it's subtle, very subtle.
Uh, first of all, no, I agree with everything you're saying.
So let's go back to Christmas.
What should I get Liam for Christmas this year?
I gotta get him a present.
Uh, you know, trains, trains, and more trains.
That's all Liam wants.
That's all I am talks about.
Well, my adopted nephews of Velma wanted iPhone 15s or whatever the new version is.
Do you know what that is?
No.
No.
I don't even have an iPhone 15.
I have an iPhone eight.
I think you're way behind.
I have no idea.
No, I just don't believe in giving my money to companies like that.
Once my phone breaks and it doesn't work the way it should, I tell James, let's get a new one.
And he looks like a big one.
Yeah, a normal person would just fix it.
I guess you know.
But you do weird things.
You drop your phone in the tub in the toilet.
You drop it out of the car, you've dropped it on the plane, Tarma.
Spoil it.
Yeah, I've dropped a couple in the toilet.
I have.
I went out with uh Keith Kowowski fishing once right over the right over the side.
I'm like, can we find it?
He looks at me like, are you stupid?
He's like, yeah, let's fish for it.
It'll be great.
Hey, let's go diving.
You got your scoobage gear?
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
Would it work even if you did find it?
Does it really matter?
Um some of these phones are pretty waterproof now.
Well, you have to put it in a tub of rice, and the rice will absorb the water from the phone if you're lucky, but probably not.
Well, what are you guys doing?
Katie, um, what is hear about it on the other side because now you gotta take a break and then you can ask everybody else what they're doing.
All right, we'll find out what everybody's doing for Christmas next.
Uh remember we used to do Santa.
First we had how how how merry Christmas.
What do you want?
Hurry up.
Remember he was Santa a few years.
How funny?
Yeah, Santa Santa had to take a break this year because his bag was full of ballots, and he didn't know how they got there.
He's gotta make room for the presence.
Singularly focused, singlely focused.
That's it.
One track train, baby.
Uh my head is killing me.
We'll take a break.
We'll find out what everyone's doing for Christmas next.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 nine four one Sean.
You want to be a part of the program, and we're talking to our crew here about what they're uh doing for Christmas.
You know, one thing I was saying to a friend of mine yesterday, it's like from the time that Donald Trump came down that escalator to where we are, it's a week from today's Christmas.
We're on Christmas break.
How did we get here?
It has been a whirlwind of like five years.
Liberals they they might get their little fantasy dream come true.
And they think, oh, this is gonna be great.
You're gonna have you hide in Biden controlled by every radical leftist, and every radical wish list item will become the country's nightmare.
And then the media will say, Well, we're not gonna follow Donald Trump.
And then they're gonna realize that the guy hiding in the basement, which they already know isn't all there.
When it becomes transparent, then you can start asking yourself, didn't they see it too?
Because everybody sees it, nobody talks about it.
You know, but you go back and you think of what this has been like.
The primary 17 guys, you know, leading leading into the the three year Russia lie hoax.
I never thought these things could happen to this country.
Never.
Spying on a presidential candidate, spying on a president, you know, the witch hunters, the the the Russia collusion truthers out there, the media mob.
You know, then we got big tech, the mob.
They never deleted any tweets or Facebook posts uh about the Russian hoax conspiracy lies.
They never told the story of Biden.
I thought it was bad when they didn't vet Obama.
We vetted him.
You know, we dug deep into the Russia collusion story.
We dug deep into you know the impeachment sham and quid pro quo Joe and Zero Experience Hunter.
January of twenty eighteen, we started telling you about the Biden foreign family syndicate.
Now that's front and center.
I mean, and now, you know, when are we gonna debate?
Well, who knew what and when about Joe's condition?
When is that gonna come up?
And then the the but I will tell you the battle for liberty and freedom never stops.
It's every day.
I don't know where these five years have gone.
Can't believe Christmas is a week away because I feel like everything but Christmas.
Uh JC Owen, what are you doing on uh Christmas Day?
What are you gonna do?
Uh it'll just be me and my uh and my immediate family just uh just relaxing, a much needed relaxation because it's it's been a long year for personally for the family.
Yeah, understood.
Uh Katie, what's you up to this Christmas?
Um, I'm going home to Chris uh to Texas.
Um I'm gonna go home and see normal people.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I can't, I can't wait.
Um, my sister had a baby this year, and it's just uh it's changed though.
It's changed this year a lot.
Uh and it's been a hard year, and um, so it's been it's just been great.
And Sean, if I can brag on you for a little bit, you have helped uh so much.
You've helped this team just by giving us uh bonuses and just uh during this time of uh of COVID just being such a hard, uh hard thing for everybody.
You've made sure that we were taken care of, and so I really appreciate that you've blessed us uh so much.
I love everybody on this show, and I know how hard you all work and you all deserve it.
Um so thank you, what you do every day.
And I don't say it enough.
Etheon, you got the new baby now.
Yeah, he's just over a year and a half.
But uh, since I'm in New York, I'm gonna say, and uh just in case Cuomo's listening, we're gonna have a very COVID responsible uh Christmas in case uh the commic Cuomo is listening.
You don't need to peer in by a window or see if anyone's there.
That's all funny was that uh the Twitter meme and and the the social media meme of you know it was Thanksgiving and Cuomo's peeking in the window.
I think that was the funniest one I've ever seen.
In between his policies and de Blasio's policies, this state and this city are falling apart.
It's really it's pathetic.
It's sad to see as someone that grew up here, and I'm sure you feel the same way.
Yeah.
Alinda, I think five is like the perfect age for a kid in Christmas.
So is that about right?
We at like the five, six, seven, eight.
Oh, he's loving it, man.
Forget about it.
He decorated the tree this year with us.
We you know, we've been outside, and then we've got 18 inches of snow here, so we've been outside.
Well, he's in snowballed heaven.
Oh, forget it.
He said to me, he goes, Mom, this is what I need.
I want you to make me like 50 snowballs and just line them up.
I'm like, okay.
And then what does he do with them?
And then he goes, Okay, then I'll throw them at you.
I'm like, oh, great.
Okay, that sounds awesome.
I mean, let me get right on that for you.
I made a mistake one year.
The kids were probably a little too young.
We had a hill in the backyard, and I put them on, you know, like a s a sled thing to go down, and then they got a lot of snow in their face.
It did not end particularly well.
Race.
I mean, they do have fun.
They I mean, I did the same.
We have a hill in our backyard, and I don't have a sled, but we slid down on trash can lids, which is old school.
And that was I did that too.
We were doing that.
They actually work better.
They do work better.
I had them on the shovel too.
I have one of those wide shovels, so I was like wheeling them around the front yard.
I mean, he just has a blast.
It's just, you know, it's just about spending time with your kids, which is the most important thing in this year of bizarrness.
I mean, they have no routine, they have no normalcy.
The only blessing that came out of it was that we got more time with them.
Let me ask you this.
I mean, in 15 years you've been on the show, do you think there's been a harder year than this one?
No.
Definitely not even close, right?
Not even close.
I asked.
No hesitation.
No.
How can you ask that?
What what year would have been close?
Well, I honestly, I I honestly felt like it'd been tough years.
We've had tough years.
Yeah, 2016, 2015, leading into 2016, covering the entire election in a row.
We were on the road everywhere.
Everyone.
It was six, was it 15 presidential candidates Republican president or 16?
I can't remember.
17.
17.
So we had to interview every one of them, go to their states, go to the thing, and then everybody was getting, you know, ticked off.
Oh, you didn't spend this much.
You spent this time.
And then I had to go through the Do you remember I had to break down the amount of minutes that we spent interviewing I was like, I didn't know.
Am I really?
Is it what grade am I in?
I'm like, really, guys?
You want me to okay?
Let's show the other.
By the way, ironically, I got the first interview of 16 of the 17 candidates.
Yeah, you did.
The one I didn't get, the first one was with Trump.
Yep.
How funny is that?
You know, it's it's and I never let him forget it either.
No, and and you shouldn't.
You know, he definitely knows who his friends are now.
I mean, he has never been.
I've never seen a person, and this is the conversation I have all the time, particularly with people in my church.
And I always say, you know, you can say whatever you want about Donald Trump.
You don't have to like him.
You don't have to have dinner with him.
But you know, he gave more money to historically black colleges and universities.
He did the prison reform bill, which the crime bill was instituted by all the Democrats who say that they love you know equality.
He was the person that had the most diverse administration for all these women in.
He gave back to the veterans.
He donates his presidential salary.
He's lost money by being in the White House.
It's like there's there's not enough you can say.
You might not like the way he talks.
You might not like the way he tweets.
But he's protecting the country.
He's protecting the veterans.
He's making the world better for our children.
I've been doing three years.
Never, he's a force of nature.
He is nobody he's a true American original.
And he's a hard worker.
He's not like all these other presidents who are about the, you know, the experience of being president.
He's already been the CEO and the president.
You know, the nation is a business.
You have to know how to run a business.
None of these other guys, they're all lifelong politicians.
They have no idea how to run a business or what it means to create and maintain jobs and health care and payroll for you know the American people.
And that's why when they throw around these numbers like this omnibus spending bill, you know, 1.3 trillion dollars.
They don't even know what that means.
You know, when you really think back and we had uh we were we were really for a while, if you go back to 2015-16, we were kind of like uh I was taking we were as a show taking in so much heat because of I was I was vouching that he would govern conservatively.
And look, after 20 some odd years, I'll put it all on the line.
If I say something, I mean it.
And we were out in front.
And even people now that have, quote, jumped on the Trump train late that think they're the super Trump patriots, which makes me laugh because I do have a memory.
Um, you know, I I I did say he's going to govern conservatively.
There's never been a more conservative governing president in our lifetime.
Uh I would argue he's more conservative and governed more conservatively than Reagan.
When Russia, Russia, Russia happened, nobody really wanted to do the the hard work and the digging and the hours that we all spent on those topics.
And then when the Ukraine stuff came up, I'm like, you know, it never ended leading into this election.
And I have a couple of personal frustrations on this because a lot of what I think went on, it was like being telegraphed.
You can see, I could see it in slow motion, building and building, and I'm like, you know, screaming at the top of my lungs.
Do you have the poll watchers?
Do you have the lawyers?
And I think everybody was caught off guard.
I guess.
And I think probably maybe they maybe they went through the same thing I went through.
You just even after Russia Russia, you think it can't happen here.
I never thought the media could be this corrupt.
I knew they weren't going to vet Biden, but they they not only were complicit in helping him hide in the campaign candidate protection program, but then they did all the dirty work, bloodying up Donald Trump, the other candidate, every single hour of every day.
And they never stopped.
And they don't stop today.
And they for them, it's always also means justifies the ends.
They don't care as long as they get the win, they don't care.
At all.
But it's uh it's a slope that once you open that door, we become those countries that we we never thought we'd become.
That's what happened.
That's what is happening.
That then, now we're on it, now we're at a tipping point.
We tried to do this with Live Free or Die, warn people, America and the world on the brink.
They weren't words that I hadn't put a lot of thought into.
Um, I forgot about that.
We forgot the book tour.
That was a busy.
Oh, yeah, the book tour.
But you know what was interesting about the book tour was it showed us that we could reach people, even when people were being pushed down, locked down, you know, you can't do anything.
You have to stay in your house.
We were able to reach even more people.
And in a more crazy, that was amazing.
It was it was really, it was amazing.

Greg Jarrett did one.
We had a lot of great people.
You can't really did.
Yeah, I did one.
My I kind of like video bombed you.
I tried to do the one, but that was the day that they announced Kamala Harris was going to be the VP pick, and we got a little sidetracked on that one.
We even let Bill O'Reilly give me a non cupcake interview.
That was pretty funny.
Oh my God, did you hear what happened with that?
No.
You want to hear a really funny story?
I don't think I ever told you this.
No, you never didn't.
So you kept saying that he didn't give you a cupcake interview, right?
So Katie and I think say, Oh, you know what would be really funny if we send some cupcakes to Bill O'Reilly's house and we say thanks for the non cupcake interview, right?
Yeah.
So we send this big box of cupcakes to Bill O'Reilly's house.
I'm all excited that he's going to think about it.
Do you send the magnoli ones or did you send normal ones that people really like?
I don't know.
Katie, what did we send?
I don't even remember what the brand was, to be honest with you.
So long story short, we said we we send it, we're all excited, we get everything squared away.
Okay, fine.
And Bill's on the next week, and I'm like, so how was your delivery?
And he's like, What are you talking about?
