800 94.
One Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
So we we've got a lot on the table today.
There is now, as things begin to shake out, we're finding out more and more.
You know, who really deserves a good grade, if you will.
Who handled the COVID pandemic the best and and what states were atrocious?
And it's there's there is now a real significant growing effort for Gavin Gavin Newsom to be recalled in California to impeach Governor Cuomo in New York.
I don't know the people of Michigan have had it with Governor Whitmer.
And I the same thing in New Jersey, Murphy and Pennsylvania, Wolf.
People have had it.
Turns out you got governors like DeSantis with a very high percentage and a high population of the uh elderly population doing much better in terms of distribution of the vaccine, everything in between.
How do I know?
Because I have friends that live down there telling me.
Not shutting down everything, every business is four pages in the New York Post today about shut down businesses all over New York.
Well, we think that maybe by 2025 or six, New York City might begin a comeback.
I mean, the stock exchange now, because of threats of massively increased fees and taxes, they want to they want to charge for every single transaction, stock transaction in New York.
Why would why would why would any of these companies pay the highest amount of money in the country for rent?
Now that we've learned teleworking works, telecommuting is efficient and effective, just like people can go to school online, just like people can do a lot of things online that we never knew of telemedicine's another one.
We learned a lot that we can apply and and ways of reducing costs for everybody.
And these companies usually they're not stupid, and they always look at quote the bottom line, and if they can see that moving to Texas or moving to Florida or moving to the Carolinas or moving into Nashville or Tennessee or any other place is going to be better for them.
They're doing it.
And it's just going to continue to get worse.
But to, you know, here now Democrats taking on quote.
Well, it's not Republicans.
They are now talking seriously about an impeachment of him and getting him and removing him from office.
So we're watching and waiting.
Then you see, you know, we passed the 25, uh the 500,000 mark of people that have died.
Then there is the ever I'm getting tired.
Megan McCain said it today.
I am getting a little bit tired of Fauci politicizing everything.
I I I've I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.
The man has spent the better part of his life trying to help people and save lives.
And but he's not the authoritative voice on COVID or anything.
I mean, less than a month ago, he's saying, no, we need to wear two masks.
The guy that said in the beginning, you don't need to wear any mask.
All the experts, all the models, all the predictions, they all turned out to be wrong.
And what worked the best was Operation Warp Speed.
What worked the best was Donald Trump building the hospitals in the areas that were hit the hardest at the time.
You have the highest concentration of people in the smallest geographic area, New York City, and all these hospital beds, this is what makes this so inexplicable, remained empty.
President built them, converted them into COVID capabilities so you could take on COVID patients, man them, in other words, staff them, all the shields, gloves, masks, gowns, ventilators that New York didn't have and weren't prepared for.
80% of those hospital beds that Trump built remained empty.
And then you say, okay, well, we're going to blame the nursing home owners.
The nursing home owners were screaming, we can't handle COVID in our nursing home.
And then, well, now we have a whistleblower saying that they purposely withheld the real death toll for the purpose of preventing the Department of Justice from knowing.
Man, oh man.
And it's not much better.
How is it?
They have pretty much the same temperatures out in California.
Explain California versus Florida.
You really can't.
And because you've had these draconian shutdowns in California, but you didn't have them in Florida, and Florida did it a heck of a lot better.
So it's going to be like governors like DeSantis and Christy Gnome in South Dakota.
And they never had any restrictions.
She just said to the people of South Dakota, okay, here's what we what they're recommending.
Follow the recommendations.
Be smart.
Consider other people.
Think about grandma, grandpa, think about elderly people, those with pre-existing conditions, comorbidities, compromised immune systems, et cetera.
Um now you got a COVID relief bill, 1.9 trillion dollars.
And as the Wall Street Journal points out, this is a non-COVID spending blowout.
And, you know, the definition of COVID-related provisions are like $825 billion that they've been able to add, and more than a trillion is a combination of bailouts for democratic constituencies, expansions of progressive programs, and pork and unrelated policy changes.
It's basically under just like changing the election laws under the guise of safety in the in the day and age of COVID.
The one thing they never wanted to quote Dr. Fauci about was Fauci said, oh, yeah, people can vote in person if they socially distance and wear a mask.
But no, they, of course, want to institute widespread mail-in ballots and change the rules last minute, even defying some constitutional orders.
But you look at the amount of money, you got 350 billion with a B for state and local governments, cities and counties, and even as state revenues have recovered since the spring.
Well, we're gonna where's that money gonna come from?
That money's gonna come from states like, for example, states that were responsible and that balance their budgets every year, don't even have state income taxes, those states are now gonna foot the bill and bail out states that for decades elect irresponsible democratic governors that never balance their budgets, never fund their pensions, and use the money to basically maintain power.
It's it's unbelievable.
And so that this is just the beginning.
Now, when you get to the you know, bottom line, how are we ever going to afford it?
Let me get in and I get to that question.
Members are slipping in pet causes in this COVID quote relief bill.
You know, do we really have to spend a million five for the CWA international bridge connecting New York to Canada?
Well, why is that in there?
Because that benefits Chuck Schumer.
Or the 500 million for what the CBO calls grants to fund activities related to the arts and the humanities and libraries and museums and Native American language preservation.
Okay, I'm not saying not worthy causes in some places, but that's a lot of money.
Then you've got kickbacks, the Republican Study Committee.
They put out a three page memo and outlining all of the left wing items that I can spend the better part of this program that Democrats are hoping you, the American people are not going to find out about.
You know, provisions, all right, $1,400 stimulus checks going to families, but it also includes people that are in the country illegally.
It also includes monies for planned parenthood so they can be a part of the PPP, the paycheck protection program funds designed to keep small businesses afloat.
$600 million for additional emergency paid leave, et cetera.
It just is a laundry list.
And a lot of it's going to sound great.
Okay, well, we're increasing food stamps.
We're increasing the supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children, et cetera, the WIC program.
And then I'm not saying that there aren't some valid that that there's not valid relief.
There is valid relief.
But also these governors got to do a better job of opening up businesses and opening them up safely.
And there's been a reluctance and resistance, and they're paying the price for their bad policies.
You know, you got you know kickbacks now to leftist causes, and and a lot of it too is now going to this Green New Deal wish list.
And I'll explain more of that over time.
Um we found out, just the news.com reporting that James Comey absolutely never verified Hillary's dirty Russian disinformation dossier, but he still signed three of the four FISA application warrants to spy on a president and a presidential candidate.
So you got Merrick Garland, who's up for AG.
It didn't take long to demonstrate how completely well political he is, and I don't know.
Not exactly meeting the bill in terms of what I would be looking for in a fair attorney general.
Anyway, any public official that he won't acknowledge that Comey drove the FBI.
You know, it says at the top of a Pfizer warrant, does he not know if he's going to be the attorney general it says verified?
And if you sign it, that means you verified something.
He signed it three times, but yet he admitted in January, the very same day he signed the second FISA application, the first renewal application, and then sign one thereafter, that he couldn't verify what even people like Andrew McCabe and Sally Yates said were the bulk of information needed to obtain the warrants to spy on a political candidate using a dirty,
untrue, debunked dossier of the other candidate.
And he won't say a single negative word about Comey.
Senator, I don't really want to get into analyzing previous directors, uh, Garland said.
He says, Well, you've been very political and appropriately so at times.
I just find it stunning that you can't say in my view that he was a terrible FBI director.
Well, if you sign a warrant and you don't have any information, that doesn't make sense.
Garland also said today, no reason why Durham should be left in place for the origins of the Russian disinformation probe, which uh I think pretty much says, no, there we go.
That's gonna put an end to that investigation.
We've been waiting forever.
Garland said the DOGA would advance Biden's pro-gun control policies, which, as I explained last week, is pretty much the policies sounds a lot like Beto Bozo.
Then you've got the the candidate for Office of Management and Budget, Nina Tandit.
You know, she had to delete 1,100 tweets, and by the way, Susan Collins said that she's not gonna support her.
Doesn't look, you know, you can't wait for Republicans to do the right thing, according to the independent disparaging comments about Republicans, GOP senators.
It's heartbreaking that the GOP lied about death panels.
Well, if there's any lies about Obamacare, that would be Joe and Barack claiming that you're gonna keep your doctor and your plan and average family's gonna save $2,500 per family per year.
You know, some of the election conspiracy information that that she supported.
You know, Stephen Miller shared a screenshot of some of her tweets.
You know, she helped drive this Russia Russia Trump Russia truth nonsense.
You know, she she had a headline that said FBI Russian hackers access Florida voter information, et cetera.
It's it's it's just sad.
Yeah, I'm sorry, did I say Nera?
Sorry, Nera Tandon.
I want to get things right always.
Um, but anyway, it looks like that pick is in deep trouble.
And she vows to target pro-Trump protesters.
So this is Merrick Garland.
Okay, you're gonna have the same standards for all protesters, all rioters.
Because I think that we gotta stop it wherever it comes from.
That's my position.
Pretty consistent.
800-941 Sean, our number.
We got a lot of other news to get to.
Oh, these winter storms.
We got uh an interesting segment coming up with Joe Bistardi and Mark Morano, you want to hear.
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.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, Supreme Court uh ruling, actually that the grand jury in New York can see Trump's tax returns.
I'm gonna make a prediction here.
I'm gonna go out on a limb.
Because the president released a statement, former President Trump released a statement in exile, President Trump in exile, depending on whether you want to follow Jim Acosta's line.
This is gonna go nowhere.
Because they use the best accounting firms in the country and the world.
With that said, we'll see.
Justice Clarence Thomas in a pretty scathing dissent today, the Supreme Court ruling 6-3 to reject the review of two Pennsylvania presidential election cases.
Um Justice Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas believe they should have been given hearings.
What what Clarence Thomas argued here, the Constitution gives each state legislature authority to determine the manner of federal elections, yet both before and after the 2020 election, non-legislative officials in various states took it upon themselves to set the rules instead.
And as a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions, emergency applications contesting those changes.
The petitions here present a clear example.
The Pennsylvania legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail and ballots, by the way, and the legislature bypassed their own state constitution.
We've gone into great detail about this case.
And then an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail in ballots, and then the state Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days.
Then the court also ordered officials to count ballots reviewed by the new deadline, et cetera, et cetera.
You know, if if the Supreme Court is not going to weigh in on such a critical crucial important matter of state law, the the constitutionally laid out principles Of what role state legislators play,
the process by which you would bypass literally amending a state constitution and and just by passing a law, which would be far easier.
If that's not a Supreme Court case, they should weigh in on what's the point?
This should have been taken.
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.

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.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza.
I'm reading all these news articles about so much happening at once that nobody seems to know about.
Like you might, I I doubt most of you, because we're all busy people, right?
Everyone's busy.
You get up in the morning, you shovel your coffee down your throat, maybe you make your kids lunch.
Uh, maybe you don't.
You may you're throwing some cereal together, you're putting on your tie, whatever you wear to work, you're putting on your jeans, whatever.
And you take your kids to school, take them to the school bus, whatever, make sure they get on the bus, boom, you're off to work.
You put your 12, 14 hours in.
So, you know, a lot of people aren't really noticing things like Biden's move to give up on President Trump's policies to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran.
You know, Congressman Joe Wilson actually said, yeah, this is pretty dangerous because Biden basically just legalized Vladimir Putin, President Chi selling arms to Iran.
Yeah, that would be a bad outcome.
Then there's a story that came out.
It's a it's pretty long-winded piece, Washington Times, but it's it's interesting because you know that if Donald Trump were president, you know, what would the media be saying and doing if that were the case?
Um, how there was an attempt to undermine the president's tough sanctions on Iran.
The president obviously wasn't going to send 150 billion in cash and other currency to the Iranian mullas that chant death to America, death to Israel, burn our flag, burn the Israeli flag.
Anyway, and they go into great specificity in detail.
It's a little scary to me about how John Kerry was meeting with and forging relationships with, for example, Mohammed uh Zarif is his name.
And uh how during the Trump years.
Well, what were they doing?
Because they actually the meeting took place at uh at a point in a period when Donald Trump was taking a hardline stance against the Iranians.
John Kerry's meeting with Zarif during the Trump years, and as well as the Obama-era energy secretary and and others, top U.S. negotiators in this deal that gave Iran all this money.
And what was it, a wink and a nod?
We hope we can beat this guy, and we'll go things will get back to normal.
Pretty unbelievable.
By the way, more on Nira uh Nera Tandon for OMB director.
It's now she's apparently met with 35 senators, both sides of the aisle, questioned really hard by Bernie Sanders, Joe Manchin revealed these are no vote, Susan Collins, a no vote.
This thing's probably dead on arrival.
We'll have to see.
The border policy alone.
Now, we're watching with the stroke of the pen, all these jobs being, you know, just gone, high paying career jobs, energy sector.
And you got Hollywood liberals there lobbying Joe Biden, his administration.
Yeah, get rid of all the pipelines.
Get rid of all energy independence.
Sure.
It's easy for them to say they're not losing their jobs.
And all of them are already pretty rich anyway.
And anyway, what's fascinating is, you know, we're looking at maybe on top of all of the people that will get amnesty, estimated between 11, 15 million, depending on what statistic you're reading.
78,000 arrivals, people coming into this country illegally illegally, nearly double the figure for the same month last year.
The highest for January in a decade.
And if the current pattern holds, the U.S. would be on track for one million more migrants coming to this country via the southern border, illegal immigrants.
And that's, by the way, that warning came from a senior official in in Obama's department from Obama's Department of Homeland Security.
That's a lot of people.
So you have the worst pandemic since 1917 and 18, all these Americans out of work, all this money in aid that that is being allocated.
And by the way, that aid money is not insignificant.
When you dig down deep into the roots of all this, and what is it going to cost you?
And you add the wish list in there of everybody else.
Okay, that that amounts to, according to the New York Post, Democrats will be leaving you, the American taxpayers, a tab of $17,000 per individual, $70,000 for a family of four when there's two billion, two trillion dollar relief bills combined with the monies that have already been spent and allocated by Congress.
It's a lot of money.
And a lot of this now we're learning is going to go to states, blue state bailouts, a lot of pet projects, and a lot of it the building out the foundation of what is the Green New Deal.
This is this is all happening in America is not really paying a whole lot of attention.
So now we're going to have more people out of work.
We already have enough people out of work.
We have already have enough businesses shut down.
Then you have the energy sector pretty much getting shut down and pink slips coming out here, there, and everywhere.
And then we're going to move into, okay, now you've got to add all these illegal immigrants and amnesty on top of that.
All these people competing for jobs.
You don't need an economics degree from Harvard business to figure out that it's going to drive wages down even lower.
And the progressive caucus chair in Congress, the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, thinks that they're going to include the $15 minimum wage.
Well, there's been a lot of studies that show that's going to prevent hiring, especially of young people, students, etc.
That's not going to work out well for anybody either, looking to break into the job market.
What are these kids graduating from school?
They're also thinking of adding $50,000 as part of the plan in loan forgiveness.
I'm almost makes me wish I never paid back my college student loan.
I took out a student loan.
Man, oh man.
And some of it's not even going to be used right away.
They're going to pass a $2 trillion spending bill, bailouts for state governments that lock down their citizens when other state governments were far more judicious and yet did a better job all the way across the board.
And then you're going to have all these red states bailing out all these blue states that keep electing for decade after decade after decade irresponsible Democrats that take on all this debt, never live within their means, never balance any budgets, and never pay down their pensions.
That's how you will be rewarded for electing good politicians.
It's like I keep saying, if you're going to leave California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, if you're going to leave Michigan, okay.
Don't go to Texas, Florida, or the Carolinas and bring your liberal policies with you and keep electing the same people that destroyed the state that you you abandoned because of bad policies.
Some of this money we're finding out 670 billion is not even going to be spent until 2022.
Well, how does that how do we count that as relief monies?
Then on top of that, another 140 billion that will be withheld for fiscal year 2024.
Well, how does that give immediate relief to people?
That doesn't make any sense at all, but we'll we'll have to see what happens.
But they're trying to include the $50,000 in student loan forgiveness.
I doubt it's going to be retroactive for we suckers that actually thought if we borrowed money we had to pay it back one day.
Um it's a little scary.
There's a lot of chatter.
It was actually one of the things I've been saying, I know the media gets mad when I say the president Biden looks weak, frail, and cognitively that he struggles.
And every time that I say it, I I back up what I say with a pretty long montage.
I won't play here.
And Joe's been struggling.
People around the world seem to be noticing it as well.
In Australia, we found this report.
They said it what?
I think this is before the election.
Listen.
Well, look, there's just no doubt at all that uh Biden has had some cognitive decline.
I mean, I think some of his aides or friends have said he's lost his cognitive fastball.
Now, normally one of the great things about an American primary season and presidential campaign is that it is the most searching, searing uh examination of a candidate's fitness.
But the uh one reason I suspect that Biden might actually be quite well ahead in the polls is that he's hardly been campaigning in the last week or ten days.
And that suggests to me that his campaign thinks he's well ahead, and that the only danger to his election now is some catastrophic um you know verbal lapse on his part, which is always possible.
Now, it is true that 30 years ago, when he certainly had all his marbles and was a smart guy, he was still prone to verbal gaps, as was the senior George Bush.
But uh, it's impossible to watch Biden perform in a spontaneous setting and not conclude that there has been some cognitive decline.
I think we're one of the few people we have a name for it.
We called it the Canada Protection Program, hiding in the basement bunker.
Then the big tech companies, they they hid the story.
There was a poll out, I think it was one in six people said that had they known at the time that Joe was, you know, some of the scandals that that he was involved in and Hunter and Zero Experience Hunter, etc.
And by the way, he's not a kid.
He's 50 years old.
Amount of monies we're talking about, directly related to trips on Air Force Two.
That's what the whole first impeachment was all about.
Anyway, many now New York Post talking about him becoming a part-time president.
It got very weird last Thursday when he postponed that trip to Michigan.
Remember, he was gonna tour the FISA vaccine making plant, and 8 a.m. they call a lid, mean meaning you're never gonna you're not gonna hear from him or see him in public for the rest of the day.
Why?
Because DC got some snow.
Planes take off when it's snowing all the time.
Kamala Harris still went ahead with her schedule.
They canceled the Michigan trip on Wednesday evening before any of the expected four-inch snowfall hit the ground in Washington.
By the way, meanwhile, it wasn't even snowy at all in Michigan.
I don't know, it wasn't the first time.
Biden canceled the foreign policy speech at the State Department this month after D.C. got a whopping two inches of snow.
Well, all these airports have plows and the ability to do that.
Um again, candidate protection program.
I don't recall getting an answer before the election.
Joe Biden is now uh out in support of Sheila Jackson Lee's reparations bill, according to Jen Sockey.
She confirmed it on Thursday.
That is being considered in the House.
Biden, this is a weird story.
Apparently in 2007 appeared on David Letterman and was bragging that he was once arrested for trespassing at the Capitol at age 21.
Now, who knows if it's true or not?
I mean, he does have this pension for lying and not exactly telling the truth.
We'll have to see.
Biden's interior nominee failed to report casino income on Congressional Ethics reports.
So, but what are they really?
This is now, this is all about spending.
This is all about the new Green Deal.
This is all about redistribution.
This is what this is this, and by the, and a lot of it now is you look at where the monies are going.
This is the predicate.
This is the beginning of the spending.
You look at the items inside this, federal minimum wage increase, animal, they're going to spend money $300 million for animal COVID studies.
Socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, as we look at what's in there.
Student loan outreach, probably forgiveness, money for the National Endowment for Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities.
That's back.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 200 million.
Vaccine information.
What does that mean?
Vaccine information.
It's everywhere, the information.
All you need to do is hit Google.
It's free.
You know, just tell everyone to Google it.
Dr. Google will tell you anything you need.
And you can go to the official CDC website.
So we're going to have to watch all of this.
Well, this is going to be a full-time, full-time job getting to the bottom of what this is the transformation that we warned would happen.
And all the while, then you have other Democrats spent on the back burner for a while, cancel culture.
You got two House Democrats questioning 12 television and content providers on why they would ever carry Fox News.
Okay.
Washington Examiner reporting.
So you have two uh California representatives sending letters to television content providers, ATT, Tomcast, Verizon.
Why are they carrying news outlets that function as misinformation rumor mills?
Well, excuse me, Fox News wasn't, and look, not by not by a long stretch, does everybody on Fox News are they a conservative as I am?
As everybody knows.
We're not hiding.
We I'm a member of the press.
We do breaking news, investigative reporting.
We actually end up being right when they're wrong all the time.
Yeah, why carry what are we gonna now try and silence voices just because we don't like them?

Hour two, Sean Hannity show, 800-941-SEAN.
You want to be a part of the program.
You know, I was watching, you know, all the insanity, the coverage of, well, Ted Cruz dropped his daughters in Cancun and came right back.
And this is despicable.
Okay, what about no show Joe?
You know, remember he called the lid on his public schedule Twice last week.
You know, you would think he had some time to focus maybe on what was the Texas storm disaster, which has now been going on there for nearly a week and still so many people don't have uh their power back.
They're freezing and reports people even burning their furniture and fireplaces to stay warm.
I've I've read in one place.
And Biden, you know, okay, declared a national emergency.
Why why hasn't he been down there?
Sixty generators in a state of twenty-nine million people, where hundreds of thousands of people don't have power is a drop in the bucket.
Our friend Joe Bastardi said he put out an article, he's gonna join us in a minute, add yet another aspect to the assault on the Texas deep freeze and how fossil fuels are now also being blamed for what happened at with climate change and global, et cetera.
But he pointed out the cold before the five-day stretch uh stretch of this worst winter weather event in Texas history, which to his credit, he got in touch with us, and I got him in touch with both Governor Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz, and both were working, you know, round the clock in the lead up to this.
They they they've got sp specific details as to everything that was coming as some had downplayed what was on its way.
But you know, when you have a model saying it's gonna be 40 and it's 30 degrees in a place like Dallas, and you're having snow in places where they don't have plows and sanders and and salt machines, etc.
But I mean it's it's pretty unbelievable here.
And then you look into the aspect, well, how does you know here this is one of the one of the energy capitals of the entire country?
You know, you have one energy expert saying as this was in the blaze, the real lesson in Texas is their power failure, is inadequacy of unreliable energy with a with as much oil and gas that Texas has, not to mention their own power grid.
Why would Texas experience these bad power outages?
How's it these rolling blackouts?
You know, it's kind of like a main state now in places like California.
What why Texas?
And Alex says he believes this guy, Alex uh Epstein, Center for Industrial Progress.
You know, he says the fundamental problem is the insistence on using unreliable wind and solar energy instead of reliable energy, coal, nuclear, natural gas.
And I think it's really that simple.
And you say, well, I don't and by the way, I don't really care if you want to use wind turbines, but you got to understand it's a use it or lose it proposition.
It's not like you have or they have the ability to store it.
Anyway, joining us uh in a second here, we're gonna check in with our experts.
Listen to what Chuck Schumer says about this.
The bottom line is Texas thought it could go at it alone and built a system that ignored climate change.
It was not what's called resilient.
And now Texas is paying the price.
I hope they learned the lesson.
When we build power, when we build anything now, we have to take into account that climate change is real, or people will be caught the way the people in Texas were.
When I wrote the Sandy Bill, $60 billion for New York, we made sure everything was resilient.
When they built back the subways, built back this, built back that, they were going to be resistant to climate change uh changes, and we have to do that.
That's not what happened at all.
Texas did not want the burdensome regulation of the federal government on their own electric grid.
That's the point.
And if anything, it's kind of the opposite of what he's saying.
Mark uh Morano's with us, author of Green Fraud, and by the way, uh, which is just out, and it hits the fraud of what is the Green New Deal, Joe Bastardi, Weatherbell.com, official meteorologist of this radio program, author of the book, The Weaponization of Weather and the Phony Climate War.
Uh, all right, Joe Bastardi, what really caused what happened in Texas from your perspective?
Well, they've constructed a circular firing squad.
Let's keep in mind uh Senator Schumer is selling me books because uh in my book and the weaponization, that's exactly what they're doing.
And I wrote that thing a year ago.
And uh I could see this coming.
Uh I didn't know that Joe Biden would be president, but now that he's president, they're just out in the open and they're they're not bashful or shy about anything.
But hey, Senator Schubert, you wrote that bill after Sandy.
He didn't write it before Sandy.
Right?
So you know, you you're sitting here criticizing Texas after the fact, and years ago, I wrote the Sandy bill.
Well, the Sandy bill was after Sandy hit.
You weren't ready for that.
All right.
Now, as far as what happened in Texas, they've sort of uh constructed a circular firing squad in a way where the compressors of the natural gas are powered by electricity.
And if the electrical system, if the if the your reliance on wind turbines start going down, what's going to happen if you're powering the compressors by electricity?
But there are a bunch of things that were going on.
Sean, from the middle of February 10th.
I I was yelling and screaming as loud as they could at whoever would listen.
But the impeachment, of course, was the circus was getting in the way.
And to your credit, uh you you've stopped for a few minutes to make sure that we got the message out to people by saying the federal government should be mounting a response similar to pre-positioning for a hurricane.
A category, this was a category five hurricane, the winter version of it.
The worst, this is five days before.
This will be the worst five days in Texas weather history.
And when you put maps of 1899 on, and it's different from saying, oh, it's going to get cold or whatever.
When you put the all-time record cold weather event on, say this is going to challenge it.
People should look at that.
But nobody got in the president's ear.
Nobody was paying attention.
And it's not, you know, it's not all the federal government.
Uh uh, but you have to get you have to get out in front.
To Donald Trump's credit, whenever a hurricane was showing up, he was getting things out in front and as fast as he could.
But this was this was unbelievable what was going on.
There was absolutely no response at all.
And if there was a response, I didn't see it.
I didn't even see it in the in the newspapers uh Saturday morning.
I was reading the Texas newspapers, oh well, it's been cold before, this will melt off or whatever.
But this is all part of the weaponization.
What did they do?
As soon as it's done, they hide in the bushes, don't say boo, and then come out and press their agenda.
And that's the shame of this.
Climate and weather is all agenda driven.
It's no longer about the purity of the weather and climate and finding the right answer.
And uh it's really a shame that this has happened.
And Mark, no show Joe.
I mean, I gotta be clear here.
It was reported in the Dallas Morning News that Joe Biden declared a major disaster for only seventy-seven of Texas's two hundred and fifty-four counties.
Uh quote, he only wanted to focus on the hardest hits hit parts of the state, Greg Abbott, the governor, asked for a declaration that covered the entire state, uh as they're still reeling from this winter storm.
Now, um you have this has been a big part of your life work.
And there was a 2016 study I know you're familiar with that 73% of carbon credits provided little or no environmental gain as they supported projects that would have happened anyway.
What's your take on what really went on here?
Well, first of all, remember the media's take on George W. Bush with Hurricane Katrina.
Remember the outrage when the famous picture of George Bush looking out the plane at the destruction of Katrina and the outrage from the mainstream media.
He wasn't on the ground, he didn't visit, he flew over and he couldn't be bothered.
Where is that same outright with outrage right now with Joe Biden?
Declares a partial disaster area, doesn't even show up.
The only Democrats now who are trying to capitalize, or the two key Democrats, are Schumer and you have AOC out there, I guess handing out water bottles or trying to do something like that, trying to exploit this as Joe as Joe just mentioned, the uh the uh weaponization of weather.
But in terms of this whole situation here, there was a great analysis by uh American experiment, and they gave they gave a reliability score.
And basically, nuclear got an A, natural gas and coal uh got C's, and that's only because of the lack of weatherization.
Wind power got a flat out F. And what's interesting on this is if you had to rely on more wind power for what happened, Texas would have been even more of an energy disaster.
The only thing keeping the state afloat right now is the nuclear and natural gas and coal.
And even though they were at reduced capacity, not because but because of because of the extreme cold and they weren't prepared, but they're still settling the whole state.
And the the the lesson from this, if you listen to Schumer, AOC, Biden, we need more windmills.
The energy that's scored in F is what they want to expand, and the energy that can score an A every time, fossil fuels, they want to continue to get rid of.
And this is this is what we're facing here.
It's a microcosm of the entire Green New Deal.
The more their policies fail, the more they want to mandate them.
And that's the whole unscientific folly of the Green New Deal or the Green Fraud.
My my advice, Joe Bastardi, to the great people of Texas is stay out of any Washington government interference and regulation and maintain your own electric grid.
But with the improvements that both of you would be suggesting here, uh, and that is less reliance.
I mean, it didn't didn't you say that the wind turbines, Joe, they they couldn't even they couldn't even work.
And it's not even storable that you could store.
They weren't they weren't winterized.
And and and the other thing is listen, if you know how Texas, Texas Arctic outbreaks work, usually there's high pressure over the western part of the state, the Arctic high six snows in the western part of the state, and it's windy in the eastern part of the state.
There was a warning shot, I believe, back in two thousand and seven when those turbines froze up and they had rolling blackouts, but the cold in the east was not as severe.
The thing that I'm involved in is preparation.
That's what my company does.
We have one of the biggest construction companies in Texas.
They knew this was coming a week away.
I'm not just saying this behind Sean, you knew what was going on too.
I mean, you we were, you know, emailing back and forth and all the other stuff that was going on.
But you have to be able to respect nature and what nature can do and not sit there and say, You did it, he did it, they did it.
The fact of the matter is you could not have stopped this.
You could have mitigated it if you got out in front, if you knew what the weather was going to do, and that's where I come in.
And guess what?
It's not climate change.
It's happened before, and it's liable to happen again.
Mark, you want to add?
Yeah, one thing I've even said is you have Schumer out there, you have John Kerry out there blaming this cold on global warming.
And this is what they've done for decades now, repeatedly.
Any weather event proves their cause.
And so record cold, record snows, record ice, it's all because we weren't prepared for global warming.
There's no event that can't falsify their theory.
And that's what makes this so maddening.
In my book, I have a whole chapter about how the solutions to the ice the global cooling coming ice age scare of the 1970s, literally married the solutions of the Green New Deal.
The environmentalists in the 1970s pushing the global, you know, the ice age scare.
We're literally proposing Green New Deal style restrictions on America and central planning.
It is the most amazing thing.
They don't miss a beat.
No matter what weather event happens, their answer is central planning, coercive government policies, and shutting down free market capitalism.
And and in the case of Texas, as you like to say, Sean, all of the above energy is fantastic, but you have to look at how they got it in Texas.
And the Texas Public Policy Foundation did a study two years ago, 2018, showing that almost all the windmills were just subsidies in government mandates.
In other words, they would not have been built, uh, a lot of them, because of many many more were built because they were just subsidies payoffs for politicians, lobbyists, and developers down there, not because the power grid needed it.
They should have spent the money on weatherizing and preparing the power grid for events like this one.
All right, thank you both.
Mark Morano and Joe Bastardi, we appreciate you being with us.
800 nine four one Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls next half hour of the program.

We'll give it to Mike in Oklahoma next, Sean Hannity Show.
Mike, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
Great honor to speak with you today.
Thank you, my friend.
It's my honor.
What's going on?
Thirty-seven years in the oil and gas business and drilling and expiration.
Have been out of work since March of last year.
I came home, bought two trucks, two days later, didn't have a job.
Had to go back to my old thing of being a uh general contractor, something I was born into.
Uh would rather be drilling whales for a living, but that's the way it is.
I've got uh raising a uh co-raising a 13-year-old granddaughter with my ex um and running also on top of my construction business, a re animal rescue.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
I love that.
You know, well, first I gotta give you props for being able to figure figure it out.
I mean, when you face a dramatic career change like that, it's not often easy.
And obviously you found a way, you dug down deep inside you, and you've you figured out, okay, I've got to transition out of this, but you're just the the tip of the spear here.
You're the tip, this tip of the iceberg.
And all these guys that have these specialized skills, yeah, they're all getting pink slips.
High paying career jobs gone with the stroke of Joe Biden's pen, and not one Democrat seems to care.
It's it drives me nuts.
Hang in there, Mike.
We wish you all the best.
Quick break, your calls next half hour straight ahead.
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.

So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
All right, we'll get to a lot of calls here.
We'll update you.
Cuomo in big trouble in New York now.
Democrats have turned on him.
We'll we'll give you an update on what's going on there, what it means.
Remember Joe Biden had once said, uh, Andrew Cuomo's the gold standard for governors.
Uh no, not exactly.
Uh Floyd in Florida.
Floyd, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Well, it's a real honor.
Thanks so much.
I appreciate it.
Uh Sean, you you know, you've raised so many important issues in climate change, quomo's nursing home deaths, big city bailouts, and all the rest.
You know, it seems like leadership is really the missing uh uh issue here.
You know, from bad leadership with the Democrats to this impotent and vacant leadership that the Republican Party is.
And so I'm I'm gonna ask you if you would please uh you you listen to us, but it seems like the establishment doesn't, they don't represent us.
So please, just two quick requests if you would.
You know, when these people come out with the narrative that you know you lie, they lied, Trump lied.
Would you please ask them which of the tens, which of the hundreds, and which of the more than a thousand affidavits which were signed by American whistleblowers or lying?
Is it the individual who came out with the video of the internet being connected to the voting machines without a lie?
Uh was it the 19,521 ballots which were down Trump and up uh Biden, a statistical improbability?
Was that the lie?
Was it the American?
Listen, let me let me stop you right here.
They don't care what people had to say.
They only care about whistleblowers.
If you're a hearsay whistleblower, non-whistleblower, and if you're an opinion witness or a hearsay witness and not a real witness, uh this defines the left, and that includes democratic politicians and the mob in the media that protects them.
And you what you're trying to ask me, I think, and what I hear is your question is well are they are they gonna care at all about the truth?
The answer is no, they've got an agenda.
Journalism's dead, and and then of course, I read this on deadline today.
House Democrats queried TV channel distributors over carriage of misinformation rumor mills like Fox News.
Wow, so you have Democratic representatives asking, you know, ATT, Comcast, Amazon, you know, why do you carry uh channels that that have a couple of conservative voices?
Not everybody on Fox News thinks like Sean Hannity.
I think that's pretty clear.
I think I'm not saying anything you don't know.
And now, but but this whole cancel culture or at you know, the double standard on witnesses and uh, you know, uh whistleblowers, it's obvious, Floyd.
Don't you see this for what it is?
Because I do.
Please, would you please just consider, just consider starting your show by just reading one or two of the whistleblowers and then move on to anything else, but just read one or two of them.
They're out there, they're from the cases, they're easily available, they're all sworn.
I think we were the only show radio and TV that I know of.
I don't watch a lot of other t shows, and I don't get time to listen to a lot of shows.
But we put them on the air.
We put them on this program.
We put them on Hannity, the TV show.
Yeah.
I hear you.
It's frustrating.
Double standard.
Chris, Georgia next, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Chris?
Hey, Sean, thanks for having me on today.
Just wanted to call and share a little bit about my experience over a lifetime with Rush.
Uh, well, and all you guys really, you and Mark Levin and the rest of the guys that are really just talking about the American people and what's going on in Washington.
I can't ever remember a time not listening to Rush.
I grew up listening to Rush when I was eight years old.
The only thing I wanted for Christmas that year was Rush's book, The Way Things Ought to Be.
I got it.
I was the only kid on my block with it.
But oh yeah.
Well, I I don't know.
I guess I'm the weird kid that was into politics, but hey, Chris, if you're the weird kid, I was the same weird kids, you know, in my early teens, you know, staying up late at night listening to the radio and and the great pioneers of talk radio, never dreaming I might have a chance to do this one day.
Well, I can tell you the only reason I was allowed to stay up late is when Russia's show was on late.
Me and my mom would watch together.
His TV show I I have a great story if you want to hear a quick one.
Uh I brought up a group of winners, uh I was a local host in Atlanta at the time.
I'm I think I've explained my story.
I've traveled around lived in five different states in this radio journey of mine and TV journey of mine.
And I was in Atlanta.
We had a contest, and I I actually took a group of winners, listeners up to New York, and we went to Russia's TV show, and he was he I don't think he hardly knew me, and he brought me out during the show and gave me a rush tie.
I I have that tied to this day.
I remember I remember you on the air here in Atlanta.
That's that's where I'm from.
Um Rush to me was he he gave the working American, the average American a voice as to what was going on.
And Rush also, he worked for what he had.
And you know, I feel like with today's administration that you know, guys like me are the anomaly with this situation.
We're being told that we can't make it without government help.
My mom raised three kids by herself.
She worked five or six jobs.
We cleaned offices on the weekend.
She put us through private school.
You know, we're not supposed to be able to outlive our parents unless we have help for the government.
We're all doing better.
You know, I've worked my tail off to get where I'm at in life, and by no means am I a wealthy man, but you know, we can get by.
And, you know, just for guys like you on the air that that show the truth and rush to show the truth about what they want to try and do and how they want to try and tax us.
You know, one of the first things I learned in life is nothing's free.
So when they talk about all this stuff, I know it's coming out of my pocket and my tax dollars.
And I'd like to have more of a say where those go for sure, instead of just letting these guys run rampant with my money.
Listen, there's a lot of things, Chris, that we've got to understand here.
The people that will suffer the most under these redistribution policies that are now being implemented as we speak every day, are going to be working men and women.
Immigration alone is going to result with amnesty and open borders in millions and millions of other people coming into a country as we we still are suffering, the economy's suffering under the pandemic, and they're going to be competing for fewer and fewer jobs available.
Now, all these jobs being lost in the energy sector, people there too will be competing for these jobs.
It's going to drive down wages.
It's going to create more dependency.
This is 101 socialism and its long history of miserable failure.
And it's it's why I am a conservative.
And and this issue of the borders is a real issue.
And we're at this point pre-COVID where all of these unemployment records were shattered for for demographic groups that that liberals always said they had a monopoly of compassion for.
No freedom, liberty, less bureaucracy, lower taxes, energy independence.
Those three things, that triangle created jobs and opportunities for every American.
And guess what?
If you just implement those simple principles, we the people succeed.
Because I have faith in the individual.
Every single person has a natural drive to succeed.
It's like, you know, and thank you for a good call.
It's like kids in school, you're not going to keep score.
And every kid gets a trophy.
They're going to keep score anyway.
And they want to win.
It's instinctive in people's.
And now some have different things they want to win at.
That's their God-given individual talent and their God-given interests.
But people have a natural drive.
And that gets stifled under a system in which, well, we're going to take care of everything for you.
Why bother?
Anyway, good call.
Appreciate it.
800 nine four one shot on Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Laura North Carolina.
Hey, Laura, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
Um, I am furious and absolutely scared of what's going on.
I'm not even called gonna call it campo culture.
I'm gonna call it gulag culture because we're moving towards uh the Soviet Union style um government.
And it's being perpetuated by the Democrats, but it's also being perpetuated by the silence and an inactivity of the Republican Party because they want to stay in the swamp a lot of them, and they're glad that Trump is gone.
Um and if I'm not mistaken, all of them, the Republicans, Democrats, independent, whatever you call yourself, took an oath of office when they came in to to protect and defend the constitution and all our other founding documents.
And what I see right now from everybody in the Democrat Party, and some in the Republican Party is they're not doing that.
And I'm really mad the Republicans, I mean the Democrats, we we can expect that.
So after 31 days, I can't even uh believe how much damage Joe Biden's already done.
But the Republicans are sitting back with infighting and or by omission and silence not doing anything.
And I'm I want them to know that if they don't do anything, their jobs and their cushy swamp is gonna be gone for them either way.
So they better step up.
Let me let me add to a couple of things.
You say there's a lot to break down on what you're saying here.
And I look, I'll quote the great one, Mark, uh, Mark Levin.
This is a post-constitutional America.
I I mean, we saw that.
Why have a Supreme Court if they're not going to take on a case?
Whether state constitutions are relevant.
Well, it's after the election, it's a moo point.
Well, uh, no, it's a relevant constitutional principle to do state legislators just willy-nilly just get to randomly bypass the process by which one is to make a constitutional amendment through legislation where you don't need uh it's it's a far easier process to change things.
All right, that's one.
And you have the Democrats now as a party have been radicalized.
They this is a radical extreme socialist agenda.
We've never had a major political party in the country reached that far, that extreme to the left.
That that is the Democratic Party.
They control the party.
Then you've got Republicans, too many of them, that are that are so weak.
Would they like to purge the Trump supporters and go back to quote the good old days of losing and and watered down Democratic Party light?
Yeah, they would for this if they could.
But I think there's been an awakening in this country, and I think people are significantly aware.
And if they would just if Republicans would follow just the the simple principles that Trump showed works, it's not that complicated.
I've been running through my list.
I don't want to do the whole list now.
Cutting taxes, ending bureaucracies, uh school choice, the second amendment, first amendment, uh constitutionalist justices, energy independence, uh uh secure borders, peace through strength.
It's not complicated.
This is and then, but if you if you make a promise, then fight to keep your promises.
And if you do, then we're gonna win.
Because conservatism wins.
Conservatism as a political philosophy is the best system ever designed by man, and it's predicated on great principles of liberty, individualism, freedom, natural God-given rights, not government granted anything.
Not equal results, equal opportunity.
And you always pursue a more perfect union.
It's it's not hard.
All right, time for one more quick call.
Uh we have a little over a minute.
Peter in Texas, it's all yours.
Good luck with your use of it.
Yeah, Sean, I just wanted to tell you that we basically had a free road trip to the third world down here, as you may or may not know.
Um, you know, the time is war on CO2, and they're trying to shut us down, and also they've been trying to nationalize our grid using every excuse.
But four days without heat or electricity.
Um it was four degrees outside.
My top floor was 32 degrees when toilets are frozen.
But I'm not complaining.
I did winter camp outside as a boy scout.
Um, it was about the older folks.
The um senior centers went down.
My uh uh girl had to go over to her mom's who was in a senior center for three days and hug her at night to keep her warm.
It it's it's it's all it's heartbreaking.
And and I will tell you, my recommendation to my friends in Texas, and Rick Perry made me an honorary text, and I I I'm honored by it, is you honestly stay away from government, federal government regulation, but make sure your grid is strengthened moving forward.
Anyway, um my niece who has two young my my goddaughter has two young kids, lives in Houston, and after the last storm, I bought bought her a generator.
I got a thousand thank you.
She says half the neighborhoods live with her.
Anyway, quick break, right back.
We'll continue on the other side.
News Roundup Information Overload Hour next.
All right, news roundup information overload hour, Sean Hannity Show.
One bit of good news.
Um, I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on it because all of the quote experts, uh, you know, every model, every prediction, every everything when it comes to coronavirus, they got it wrong.
And what, like less than a month ago, Fauci saying, wear two masks, wear no mask.
I mean, early on.
I'm kind of sick of the whole thing.
And Megan McCain even said enough.
Tired of Fauci playing politics every time he's on TV.
It's getting old.
Uh, but there is a guy from John's uh Hopkins, an expert predicting that COVID hurt immunity will be uh in place sometime by April.
Uh that's not going to be into 22 22 as as Fauci is saying.
Let's see what ends up being right on on that one.
Um, you know, some sick stories to share.
But you have a body cam video showing a Florida woman uh getting busted, dressing up as a granny to get a vaccine and jump the line.
What is wrong with people?
I mean, it's just unbelievable to me.
I'd never think of jumping the line.
When you number it gets called, you name it's called, it gets called.
Uh there is huge backlash now in the state of New York as it relates to all things Andrew Cuomo.
New York State Republicans, they want an impeachment commission to investigate uh Cuomo's COVID scandal.
Uh it's it's gonna be interesting to see.
AOC is called for a full investigation of Cuomo's handling of nursing homes during the pandemic, uh, which is which is pretty amazing.
Um you have you know, some democratic senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts saying that racial justice should be the number one priority in vaccinating people.
How about how about we give it to the people that are at most at risk?
Obviously, you've got to take care of those people on the front lines of the virus every day.
I mean, that's that's first and foremost.
Um a big fight is broken out in New York with a New York assemblyman Ron Kim, who's claiming Cuomo threatened him and his career.
And we'll play that, and then Andrew Cuomo saying, Well, I'm gonna take on lies about the nursing home scandal, but now you have repu now you have Republicans and Democrats saying that they might impeach Cuomo, which is going to be interesting to see how they'd be able to do it.
Listen.
It was last Thursday night.
Uh, I was about to bathe my three kids when I received the call from the governor.
He spent 10 minutes threatening my career and ordering me to issue a statement uh that would be used to cover for the state secretary.
The day before that call, the state secretary Melissa DeRossa had implicated his administration by admitting that they withheld life-saving nursing home data because they feared the information would be used against them.
Well, you you hired a lawyer in the wake of this call.
Why?
What exactly did you understand Cuomo to be asking you to do?
I hired a lawyer um after this call, not only at this call, but after many calls, many other attempts over the weekend.
And this was the weekend for my family.
It was little New Year's weekend.
I'm spending my time, and I got about eight phone calls from the governor and his staff.
And I realized that he's continuing to ask me to cover up for his secretary.
And I realized that at that point I needed to get an attorney, which I did over the weekend.
I'm not going to let New Yorkers be lying to.
I'm not going to let you hurt New Yorkers by lying about what happened surrounding the death of a loved one.
Uh I see that as my job.
And I'm going to do it aggressively.
Because you have no right to lie.
And you have no right to hurt people.
I don't care if it's your politics.
You can't lie and cause pain to people who are innocent bystanders to all of this.
Uh so I'm going to take on the lies and the unscrupulous actors, especially when they cause pain and damage to New Yorkers.
I should have done it before.
And I should have done it more aggressively.
Joining us now Betsy McCoy, former lieutenant governor of the great state of New York, and the chairwoman of the committee to reduce infection deaths, uh Mark Simona's with us.
He's the host of New York's number one morning show, our main affiliate New York, uh, our flagship AM 710 WOR.
Thank you both for being with us.
I I read your piece, Betsy McCoy about uh Andrew uh Cuomo and and now we've got these threats.
These are Democrats speaking here.
These is these are not just Republicans that are furious with him.
That's right.
And now that we see the Democratic wall of silence within the state breaking, this is going to be just the beginning.
You're gonna hear more about Cuomo's other misdeeds and crimes, uh, because the Cuomo administration has been mired in corruption for years.
Uh most notably uh when Cuomo would fund these boondaggle projects upstate, give large amounts of state tax dollars uh to businesses, and coincidentally the recipients would make large donations to Cuomo's re-election campaign.
But as long as only money was at stake, New Yorkers didn't become so outraged now that they're losing not just their money, but their relatives, their best friends, uh there's there's gonna be hell to pay.
And the fact is the Democrats are joining the criticism.
They will leak the other things that Cuomo has done, and this is the beginning of the end for this man.
After all, remember, Joseph Prococo, his top aide, is now doing time in a federal prison for corruption.
Well, I mean, I think just about every leader in the Senate or the the the state house, state assembly men and women.
I I mean, anybody that ever makes it to le leadership usually ends up being tried for some crime, some corruption of some type.
Something we are well aware of, Mark Simone watching this.
I mean, Albany is just the cesspool of all cesspools.
But these are Democrats now saying that they I guess they're sick and tired of the way Cuomo's treated him over now in his third term.
Yeah, it's uh first it was this assemblyman Kim, then uh Rob Astorino, prominent uh uh politician here in New York, said he was threatened in the same way.
Politico had a story, they found uh half a dozen people who were threatened.
Uh it's real.
Mayor de Blasio said that's typical Cuomo.
But you're not giving him credit.
You gotta uh give he deserved that Emmy.
That was incredible acting.
You that was the greatest acting I've ever seen.
You know, he has people all over the country convinced that he's a brilliant governor.
I hear that from people all the time.
So lucky to have him.
They don't realize he's been a total disaster.
The state is totally bankrupt, sixty-three billion in debt, and that was the case even before the pandemic.
He signed the craziest law releasing violent prisoners with no bail.
We got the biggest crime spike in history.
We had riots all over New York.
He refused to send any National Guard.
If they're not for that, what are they for?
The biggest exodus from any state ever.
We've lost so many people, we're probably gonna lose two congressional seats.
Uh he's the the named realtor of the year for Florida, not for New York.
He's covered up, he's obstructed, he's threatened and bullied.
But watch TV.
Boy, he looks like a great governor on TV.
And how come nobody ever said, why does this guy have two hours a day in the middle of a crisis to do these TV shows?
Well, that were probably prepared by staff, but I mean the big problem he now has that he has we have now a real person, not a hearsay whistleblower, but a real whistleblower that stated affirmatively that they purposefully hid the information on what really happened.
In other words, the real death toll in the nursing homes.
And and just to backtrack here for a second, it was totally unnecessary as all of these beds that Donald Trump built and Donald Trump manned, and Donald Trump provided every single thing that was needed from medicines to to gloves and gowns and shields and masks and everything in between.
Eighty percent of the Javett Center remained empty.
The same with the Navy hospital ship, mercy.
It's not like we didn't have a place to send sick people before you put them back in nursing homes that was screaming they didn't have the ability to take care of them.
And and now we're beginning to hear all these horror stories, and and he's lashed out at everybody except take any responsibility, Betsy McCoy.
That's right.
And he lied from the beginning when he issued that mandate on March 25th for the nursing homes to take patients being discharged from the hospital for having COVID and barring the nursing homes from even testing them.
They had to fly blind.
Many patient advocates warned him that day, including my organization, reduce infection deaths.
We issued a statement that day.
This will cost thousands of lives.
And that's exactly what happened by April.
The corpses were mounting up in some nursing homes, Sean.
They left the dead in bed next to their live roommates because they had no place to put these deceased patients.
And yet Cuomo and his health department deliberately, and we had the proof from April on, deliberately concealed it.
They deliberately concealed the deaths that occurred when these people were infected with COVID and lied again and again and again about it through April, May, June, July.
And now, of course, they are probably going to face some sort of federal charges because it is illegal to conceal information or lie to the federal government about these things.
You know, I I I look at New York City.
There were four pages, full pages of the New York Post today, Mark, dedicated to showing every store, every shop, every restaurant shut down in New York City.
How do you possibly bring that city back to life?
He's wiped out twelve thousand uh restaurants, small businesses in New York City.
Uh I think uh the latest number is uh 47%.
Small businesses are still closed in New York City, can't reopen.
He's been a total disaster.
Revenue is down 60% in New York.
He's got the biggest exodus going.
If he tries to raise taxes, uh I mean, the fact that he went to Washington and begged for 50 billion last week shows you how bad a governor he is.
Let me point out also, though, that Schumer, one of Sean's favorite people, is uh marching around the state bragging about this restaurant bill that he claims to be part of the stimulus bill.
25 billion dollars in aid for restaurants.
But read the fine print as I did just a few minutes ago.
And the fact is, white owners, white men for the most part, have to go to the back of the line.
This money, uh, and it's a lot of money, is reserved for minority owners of restaurants and women owners of restaurants, as if all owners of restaurants aren't struggling struggling during this time.
You know, I feel so sorry.
I mean, you look at these people, I mean, these are livelihoods, people and some restaurants, Mark, I mean, that have been there, landmark restaurants closing down left and right and all over the place.
Yeah, the owner.
And why should we deal with racist and and sexist legislation to help them?
Yeah, the owners tell me that the uh employees, the waiters, the staff, they can't work, so they gotta work.
So they're all taking the train, the bus to New Jersey, and they're working there.
So give Cuomo credit.
He's creating jobs in New Jersey.
Uh we don't know that's creating jobs everywhere but New York because there's a mass exodus.
Even Wall Street is saying they're gonna get the hell out of here, and many of those companies are getting out of here, also.
You know, you uh this is an important insight into Cuomo.
You had him on uh at one point during this crisis for about an hour, and you couldn't have been nicer, politer.
You just asked him all the legitimate questions and really made him talk about this stuff.
You notice he never came back ever again.
He raped him from the why is there not a nationwide stay-at-home supporter?
Well, look, I think we're in a position where I think every state is gonna have to be moving in that direction.
And uh demonstrates that it does bend that curve a little bit.
It does increase the prospects that fewer people are gonna catch the virus.
And the answer is I I I don't fully know.
We've been leaving it to the governors.
Thank God the governors have been moving.
Your governor of New York's done one hell of a job.
He I think he's he's sort of the gold standard.
He ended up being uh no, not quite.
Uh the gold standard would probably go to DeSantis or Christy Gnome or any of the Republican governors.
It's been a disaster in New York, California in particular.
Uh final thoughts from Betsy McCoy, former lieutenant governor of New York, Mark Simone.
Um number one host on our affiliate here in New York, AM seven ten W O R. I mean, Mark, it is a little bit of a joke, but he did get the Emmy, he did write the book, he did have his PowerPoints every day.
Sounded authorit authoritative, and Trump's built him everything, and he never used it.
Yeah, no, he deserves that Emmy.
He should get a job playing a governor.
You're caught up in the Emmy.
But I think he's got a criminal problem.
Uh A for withholding, obstructing, all but uh assemblyman Kim, remember the the point of the threats.
He wanted him to change his story.
That to me sounds like potential witness tampering.
Well, then and Betsy, you you had the It's unfortunate that New York doesn't have recall, or we could give him the Gavin Newsom treatment.
Uh and I'm I'm not sure we there are votes are there for him to remove him from office.
You need two-thirds of the Senate plus the top judges in the state.
But at the least the whistleblower said they manipulated and held back the true numbers for purposes of obstructing uh Justice Department investigation.
At least at the least they should strip him of his emergency powers.
He can't be King Cuomo anymore.
Well, we'll see what happens.
Uh I wouldn't I don't think I'm gonna hold my breath on that.
Mark, you think that happens?
Well, I think if you got a time machine, you came back in a hundred years, you'd still be waiting for the Durham report.
So I don't know if this is gonna go anywhere.
But uh I I don't know.
I I hope it does.
I really hope it does.
All right, thank you both.
Appreciate it.
Betsy McCoy, Mark Simone.
We'll check in with Ollie North and your calls coming up, final half hour, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Thank you.
Standing up for what's right with America.
We're back on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls in mere moments.
Uh our good friend Colonel Oliver North is back with us uh to talk about a few things here.
Talent on loan from God.
You wrote a great column on on Rush and his passing.
And uh, you know, when he said that, it was amazing to me, because we didn't refer to people back in the day as snowflakes.
Now we have a term for it.
Snowflakes wokeness, if you will.
But people would just be like outraged over that, or half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Um clearly tongue gently placed in cheek and humorless people on the left just you know couldn't deal with it.
Uh, but um pretty amazing life he led and and leading a movement now for thirty some odd years.
Uh I you know, nobody can replace him, Colonel North.
Uh, how are you, my friend?
Well, you're close.
Uh you're the next one in line.
No, no, no.
No, no, thank you.
But we I think we all need to up our game to honor his real wish.
That's my answer.
Well, he really wished that America would still be called great and wonderful and offer opportunity.
And that comment about, you know, with talent from God.
In fact, isn't hubris.
It's it's humility.
I mean, w you got your talent.
I got my talent.
Our gifts are different in many cases, but it all comes from God.
And Rush was acknowledging that every time he said it, which is another reason why the far left goes nuts.
Because I don't think they believe in God.
I don't know what they do believe in other than selfishness, instead instead of selflessness.
They don't they don't recognize that the remarkable perseverance of our friend.
You know, he had so many times tried in various places, as you and I have, to do different things.
And finally succeeded at 33 years of remarkable broadcasting, was was the literally created s salvation for talk radio.
I mean, and on top of that, gave voice to the concerns of conservatives all over America.
You know, 27 to 37, depending on whose numbers you believe.
Million people listened regularly to Rush Limbaugh.
Oh my, I mean, and the influence he's had, and it and frankly, the an entire industry Built because of the the trailblazing, the path that he forged.
Uh it's you know, never really to be duplicated.
And uh, and so many people uh it's just a void.
I mean, that you cannot deny he defined modern day conservatism and educated us all for now, you know what, 33 years on the air.
And you know, it's just it's just a void that will be with us.
I can't imagine any any big event happening and not hearing what he has to say.
You know, let me give you one big event.
Uh you know, people they just don't like anything that we say on the radio, it seems.
They've you know, this whole cancel culture is existed.
Your time in radio, your time in the media, they would they want any voice they don't agree with, the left does, silenced.
And I was uh one of the things I've been saying that seems to really irritate the left, and I said it all through the campaign, and Joe becomes president, and I'm I state the obvious, he doesn't have that spring in his step.
I would argue that he had four years ago when he left, and it's it's it's dramatic to me.
That's my opinion.
It's the opinion of many others too.
The scariest part of that equation is that foreign leaders, hostile regimes of Putin and Chi and the mullahs in Iran and and other countries that hate our guts.
Uh they're not they're not stupid.
They might be evil, but they're not stupid.
Nope.
And I I I found this Australian Sky News report, and the media down under saying what I'm saying, they they did they just came flat out and said it that there's no doubt Joe is in cognitive decline.
Listen to what they said.
Well, look, there's just no doubt at all that uh Biden has had some cognitive decline.
I mean, I think some of his aides or friends have said he's lost his cognitive fastball.
Now normally one of the great things about an American primary season and presidential campaign is that it is the most searching, searing uh um examination of a candidate's fitness.
Uh it's impossible to watch Biden perform in a spontaneous sitting and not conclude that there has been some cognitive decline.
But please clarify specifically, have you taken a cognitive?
No, I haven't taken a test.
Why the hell would I take a test?
Come on, man.
That's like saying you before you got in this program, you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not.
What do you think, huh?
Are you a Jodie?
Look, and I can play those the all day.
Oh, yeah.
You know, endowed by the oh, the thing, you know, the thing, you know, God, the creator of everything.
Um I'm not sure there's some ambiguity as to when this was set either before the election or after, but I'm like, why well if foreign countries are saying this, that was my point.
It's scary.
Well, on top of it, you don't we don't have Rush Limbaugh anymore.
We've got you, and maybe one or two others that are regional.
But the bottom line of it is there's nobody out there besides you and a handful of others who can give voice to the concerns of the American people.
And and the reason why Rush had so many listeners is he gave voice to things that they felt, and and you and I know this happens because it happens to us a lot.
People will walk up to you afterwards and quote what Rush Limbo had said a few hours before or a few days before, and he he gave them the stimulus to do that.
The frightening thing about what's happening under this administration is that they've taken not just a moderate term to the left.
These guys have gone far left, a 180 from what President Trump was doing and everything, both domestically and diplomatically in foreign policy.
Just the other day he made the speech over at the State Department, and he admitted that he talked on the phone for two hours for to Xi Jinping, who is America's number one adversary on the planet Earth.
And it took him over a month to call Bibi Netanyahu.
If you look at those kinds of things and the efforts to denigrate what President Trump did, it makes the country weaker every single day he does it.
And the frightful.
How does this all play out?
Now you see that the court packing is being now looked into.
You see that DC statehood, Puerto Rico statehood is being left in, you uh looked into.
Now you see open borders.
You see amnesty, you see energy dependence getting away from and and all these high-paying career jobs wiped out.
Uh then you see the radical radicals now that Joe is appointing, and we've been going through some of the history of some of them.
Then you look at the the Green New Deal, then you add to that, you know, look at all the pork buried in the the COVID relief bill and state bailout monies that are going out there.
And I'm thinking this is going to be everything that I tried to tell people would happen ahead of time, it's now happening, and maybe even worse than I predicted.
Well, I think in many respects it's worse than any of us thought possible.
Look what he's doing to the military.
I mean, we've had rules on the books a long time about affiliations of the wrong kind of people and publications and the like inside the military.
He's now got the new SECDEF issuing guidance that within the next sixty days, it's actually started on the third of February, within that 60-day period, every unit in the U.S. military, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, and the Coast Guard, if they're activated, have to do a stand down that does nothing for military readiness, but it allows them to go back and turn soldiers, sailors, airman, guardsmen, and marines against one another.
And if you look at that kind of thing happening, instead of out there training and getting ready and doing deterrence operations like the the efforts to open up the South China Sea, if you look at the kinds of things that China is doing in the underbelly of Africa, the sub-Saharan Africa is owned by the People's Republic of China because of the so-called belt and road initiatives that they've done.
You know, my the very first book published by my new publishing company was about America's number one adversary.
The book that we've got out right now, which talks about what the heck is happening to our armed forces.
The title of it, Vietnam, excuse me, Veterans Lament, is This the America our Heroes Fought For.
If you look at the comments in there, it's exactly what you and I believe, and none of it is being done properly by this administration.
I got 18 grandkids.
Okay.
I'm not worried about Betsy and me.
We've done just fine.
And our kids are going to do okay.
It's my grandkids that I'm so concerned about.
My grandkids are going to be denied the kinds of freedom, liberty, opportunity that you and I've enjoyed all our lives.
And we did that because we had people in Washington and in the state capitals who cared about it.
You want to see how things are going to go?
With the so-called Green New Deal and what they just did by rejoining the so-called Paris Climate Accord.
Texas is an example of what just uh of the devastation we're gonna have because we're an A no longer going to be into any energy independent because of what he did with the pipeline and what he's doing with fracking.
And when you look at what just happened to Texas, it's just finally warming up down there, and people are going back into their homes from hotel rooms and things like that, and finding out the home is wrecked because of the frozen pipes.
And that's the that's the America that this guy is pushing us toward.
And this administration, with the help of both houses of Congress, are gonna not just do it by executive order as this doing as they're doing it right now, they're going to get legislation through that damages all these kinds of opportunities that Americans have had now for two centuries.
And I just I look at it and I say, Lord, w what are we gonna have to hope for?
My answer, for example, on the second amendment is write to your Congressman, because they're turn they're gonna try to make sure that the second amendment is truly infringed.
Okay.
And what they're gonna try to do is to make sure at the state levels and in Congress, they pass restrictions on m sporting rifles for crying out loud.
If you read the he he actually says the word ban, okay, talking about a very popular sporting rifle in America.
It's not a it's not, as he said in his speech, it's not a a matter of a a assault rifle.
It's not a military weapon.
It's a it's a sporting rifle, and it's a hunting rifle for me.
I use it out here on coyotes.
Okay.
The fact is, what this president aims to do is to take over the lives of the American people, whether he makes it for four years or not, it's coming.
And if the American people don't vote in the next election, which is two years from now, if they don't vote not quite two years from now, they don't vote for the right people in Congress.
It's gonna we're doomed.
We seriously are.
Not you and me, but my grandkids.
And so everything that I'm doing right now is look at look at the sanctity of human life.
You know, part of the problem that we've got in this culture isn't the fact that guns kill people, it's the fact that we've got people out walking around who don't obey the law.
They're not gonna turn in their fi their firearms, law abiding citizens might.
But the fact is the the whole thing that this administration is aiming for is the government's gonna take care of you.
How?
Look at the possibilities of rampant inflation as a consequence of what they're doing economically is disastrous.
It happens every time.
It does in the name of of promises that will never be fulfilled ever.
Just like they can't deliver on safety, security, law, order, squ education of our kids.
They never delivered on Obamacare.
Every promise they make is guaranteed to fail.
Guaranteed.
Government runs very little well.
The only thing we can really look towards is the military.
And number two, then you're going to give up your freedoms.
Then it's a matter of how much freedom you give up in the name of false security.
And socialism always ends in more poverty, not more prosperity.
Colonel North, we appreciate you.
Uh yep, it's about our grandkids.
And I don't have any yet.
Um I don't have one.
I don't even know if I'm I'm not ready for any such thing in my life.
Thank you very much.
But it is a life-changing experience.
Save safe homes, Colonel.
Appreciate you.
Semplify 800 941 Shawn, our number.
All right, time for a quick call here as we say hi.
Dan is in Oklahoma.
Dan, uh a minute 45.
Make it count, sir.
Hey, Sean.
I've been doing radio since March of 1997.
Wow.
And uh and so I've been doing a health and fitness show.
In fact, you used to follow me on KTOK on Saturday as a rerun for you.
I had Paul Harvey right before me and uh you right after me.
Oh, you're in Oklahoma City, correct?
I'm sorry.
Now, the reason I was calling you, uh I'm doing a podcast now called Dan's Health Talks.
I just do a health and fitness show, not a political show.
I would do a political show, except I don't want people to have cancer or heart disease or diabetes or something, not want to listen because they have a different political view.
But I realized a while back that Sean, I mean, Sean, uh see what see where I'm connecting you to?
Uh that Rush, I would not be doing what I'm doing if Rush had not made talk radio so popular.
And Rush is the best example that I can think of, many, uh, but of creation of wealth.
And I have a sister-in-law who's a doctor in sociology, I'm a doctor in nutrition.
But my sister-in-law, she uh and I were talking one time, and she actually believes she's very liberal, and she actually believes that there's um a pie that if I you have more, then I must have less.
It's not a zero-sum game.
Let me just say this.
Health and fitness, everybody needs to pay attention to.
I work out an hour and a half a day.
I do a hard martial arts kick-ass workout.
Uh anyway, good call.
Appreciate it.
Listen, a lot of you want all right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
