An unmitigated disaster.
This is not even, I don't even know where to begin today.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thank you all for being with us.
You make this show possible.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I I am torn in a in a hundred different directions here.
There's a part of what happened, what we just witnessed with this press conference.
I just find humiliating and embarrassing for this great country we love.
There's a part of me that's angry.
Because we all know that Joe Biden was in the candidate protection program by the big tech corporations and the media mob and the Democratic Party, as the new book Lucky says, yeah, they they ran the put your crazy uncle in the basement campaign strategy here.
Uh then I'm angry at the lies that are being told, outright lies and falsehoods, propaganda and misinformation.
Then you got the mind-numbing, you know.
You're looking at a guy that he he's got this pattern.
He gets all lost and confused, and then suddenly hits a point at which he he just takes off and and sounds like he's with it.
There's something going on here, and I stand by my observation, and I'm trying to say it charitably, weak, frail, and obviously cognitively struggling.
In my mind, knowing that the world is an evil place, and I wrote a whole book about evil, deliver us from evil, defeating terrorism and despotism and liberalism, because if you don't win the political war, you can't beat these other crazy groups.
And the research for that book showed me a hundred million human beings murdered in the name of some ism, communism, Mao's China, Stalin, Russia, Naziism, Fascism, Islamic uh terrorism uh that exists today.
I mean, there's there are evil people.
There are hostile regimes and hostile actors.
Putin, Russia, hostile actor, hostile regime.
President Qi, China.
Hostile actor, hostile regime.
Iranian mullahs, enough said.
Uh, Kim Jong-un, etc.
And they're not buying the media protection spin here, or the, you know, I I never watched, and I've again, I've been following politics.
Um I I first started my first radio show in 1987.
Reagan was president, giving my age here.
And I'm just telling you, I've never saw anybody, you know, so obviously going to the A section when Afghanistan comes up to see the notes that were put in front of him, written by somebody else.
Maybe circle back Jen Saki can just give us the notes, and she won't have to circle back so much.
Just hand them out as copies and says, here's what Joe's was gonna Joe's supposed to say to her in the presser, or maybe just empower Kamala Harris, considering, you know, the lady that pretty much compared ICE to the KKK in a line of questioning in Congress.
Uh, she's now in charge of this real crisis at the border, and then the lies about the crisis at the border, and more Deportations taking place now, but we're sending most people home.
No, they're not.
Nobody brings up the COVID problem either in the course of this.
The media, the mob compliant as they are.
You know, the one good question, I think it's Kirsten Welker's a name saying, uh, yeah, we'd like an answer.
Uh, when are you going to give us access to the facilities?
Because they gave access to MBC to the one decent facility on purpose, which was nothing but pure propaganda.
Where was the question?
Hey, Joe, did the wind blow you over?
Is that what happened?
Was it the wind?
Now, I'm just gonna be very blunt and very honest here.
It's it's kind of amazing on a lot of fronts that Biden is saying the filibuster is is racist, and not one person follows up asking if it was racist when the Democrats used it.
When Biden and Obama filibustered.
He's talking about the overuse of the filibuster.
He wasn't saying it when Mitch McConnell was the Senate majority leader.
He didn't say it then.
It's only now.
At this one.
Not a single question about the COVID-19.
It just gets to take a victory lap off of Donald Trump's work.
This was this was painful to watch.
It is hard to see somebody that you know is literally struggling, hanging by a thread.
And then the awful, horrifically awful questions from a corrupt and and partisan media mob that's out there protecting him.
Now it's the presidential, you know, protection program, or you know, somebody sent me a note, the Kid Glove press conference, hand picked, friendly reporters, probably pre-screen questions, or at least what the topic is gonna be, and even fake news CNN had to admit.
I'll read, for example, CNN's Kevin Liptak and Caitlin Collins spoke with multiple sources who conveyed that Biden, quote, has been getting ready for days, and furthermore, he recognizes the bright spotlight at Old Garner, and Biden has talked his strategy through with members of his inner circle and even held informal practice session earlier in the week.
Well, that's what I was saying, and I was called a conspiracy theorist.
I said I couldn't prove it.
I said I don't believe it.
Uh, if they tell me otherwise, but there's no listen, at the he had off Friday, nothing on the schedule since Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, one thing, Wednesday meeting sport teams.
That's it.
He's been practicing the whole time, trust me.
You know what's going on.
Everybody knows what's going on.
He gets lost, he gets confused.
At one point, you know, he literally said, well, anyway, you know, let me play some of the highlights of this disaster.
With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago.
I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.
So the best way to get something done, if you if you hold near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able to anyway.
Uh we're gonna get a lot done.
And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about.
Okay.
Um, I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing.
This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.
I mean, this is gigantic, what they're trying to do.
And it cannot be sustained.
And do everything on my power, along with my friends in the House and the Senate to keep that from uh from becoming the law.
We have over a hundred thousand wellheads that are not capped.
Leaky methane.
What are we doing?
And by the way, we can put as many pipe fitters and miners on us to work capping those wells at the same price that they would charge to dig those wells.
So I I I just find it um frustrating.
Frustrating.
Talk about Last point I'll make in the infrastructure, and I apologize for spending more time on it, but if you think about it.
Um we have the content on it now.
You know, the filibuster's racist.
Really?
Because you used it, Joe.
Your party used it.
You know, even accused basically the country of Mexico and Donald Trump for letting kids starve with the Stay in Mexico policy.
Then he accused Trump of causing the border crisis, which is a joke considering he ended the stay in Mexico policy.
He brought back catch and release.
Uh he's not giving a damn about uh social distancing and all the high positivity of COVID and kids on top of each other or the new cages that he's building, and he's mad at Trump for not building more cages because Trump was actually building the wall to enforce the laws of the land.
And then he stopped border construction.
I mean, that answer on capping the instead of drilling, we'll cap them, and we can hire the people that built the pipe fittings, and we'll hire them back to to end all energy independence forever.
He even accused Trump of going soft on China, which is beyond laughable.
By the way, no cat no questions about zero experience hunter, and the problem is he's half it having.
I I mean, even Chris Wallace, no fan of uh Donald Trump, as we all know.
I mean, even he said he was shocked and struck by the fact that you know, on every single foreign policy question that Joe's reading from a book covering Ronald Reagan for six years.
Uh I never saw that either.
I've never seen a president ever have to do this.
Uh spend a week preparing, struggling even through, barely get able to get through this, full of lies, one right after another.
Um, and you know, it's literally it's like Laura Ingram tweeted, it's like story time with Uncle Joe, and the press was fine with it, compliant as they are, as always.
He claims he's not devices, divisive they accused Trump basically of sending kids across the border of the Stan Mexico policy to starve to death.
That's kind of divisive.
What do we have?
250 filibusters by Democrats recently.
His only method of communication is sharing random weird thoughts and the oddest, the oddest communication patterns I've ever seen in my life.
Um, you know, I where's the transparency?
One question when are you gonna let us see the kids in your new cages?
Because they've been trying to hide it for all of us.
They scripted all out with notes for this guy.
He gets confused and then he gets lost, and he kind of gives up and he gets tired, then he gets clearly agitated.
Umbelievable.
It's it's it's remarkable.
But anyway, so he had the thing.
And then the other thing, if you watch carefully, he this guy.
This the sad part is is he's this is the biggest heaviest lift in his life.
Now we have if you have to lift up the president of the United States and prep him for a week to barely get through a press conference and lie his way through, using the friendliest bunch of questions as a crutch, and when he has to function at any moment on his own, off script, even moving to the next question, he gets lost with a list of reporters predetermined ahead of time who's gonna get the next question.
So, you know, then he then he kind of gets past the crutch and gets lost again.
It's like I mean, you're looking at like a president like a deer in the headlights here, running through, racing through his briefing book to find his talking points that he can read because he can't obviously remember them anymore.
Which means maybe even, oh, either they anticipated the questions or did they know ahead of time.
Who knows?
You know, uh reading off briefing sheets.
I I think of any president that would ever have to do this.
It's the hardest job in the world.
That's why you can't have a you know, candidate protection program.
You know, when I say this guy looks exhausted, I mean he looks exhausted.
And prominent members of his cheerleading squad and the mob, you know, when they start noticing it, that's a problem.
MBC senior political analyst Jonathan Allen tweeted that Biden sounded and looked tired.
He's being charitable.
Wow.
Worse still, Biden clearly reading his answers.
I mean, I I've never nobody's ever seen this before.
This is new territory.
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.

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Putin, President Chi, Kim Jong-un, the mullahs in Iran, they're all watching.
He's claiming the border surge happens every year.
No, it doesn't happen every year.
We're expecting now the highest number.
Right now it's the highest number since 2006.
And then on top of that, it's going to be the highest in at least 20 to 30 years.
The truth matters.
And, you know, he's saying that nothing has changed.
It happens every year.
That's not true either.
And he's he's saying we're trying to build the place.
No, you're supposed to send people back.
Bring back the state of Mexico policy.
And on the filibuster, that's even more frightening, because now we know exactly what that means, don't we?
All right, 800, 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
I know a lot of you want to weigh in.
We'll play more of the lowlights of this.
We'll have full coverage.
You gotta watch it.
I know many of you working today didn't get a chance to see it.
We'll summarize the best parts on Hannity tonight.
Quick break, right back, we'll continue.

I've never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.
So the best way to get something done, if you if it holds near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able to anyway.
I'm we're gonna get a lot done.
And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about.
Okay, um.
Uh Sorry.
Oh.
We have over a hundred thousand wellheads that are not capped.
Leaky methane.
What are we doing?
And by the way, we can put as many pipe fitters and miners on us to work capping those wells at the same price that they would charge to dig those wells.
So I I just find it um frustrating.
Frustrating.
Talk about last point I'll make in the infrastructure, and I apologize for spending more time on it, but if you think about it.
Um that's Joe Biden.
That's your president.
Now, what one sentence I'll get it get to the phones here in a minute.
Now, you know, I've never talked about the president's children, but Hunter Biden's 50 years old, and Hunter Biden went on Good Morning America, made a total fool of himself.
Uh Jen Circle Backsaki never heard of the the first lady of Moscow and the Russian oligarch and the $3.5 million wire transferred to Hunter's company.
Uh maybe she'll circle back on that.
There's a political article out today.
Now, this is mind-blowing before I get to your calls about the presser today.
Uh, so they're now about to start their big push for gun control.
Politico puts out this report.
The Secret Service was enlisted to help Hunter Biden cover up a handgun purchase that was illegal because he had lied about his past drug use on the background check forms.
Remember the laptop, the crackpipe in his mouth, and even he admits now, yeah, he had a drug problem.
Anyway, it goes back to October 2018.
Hunter, daughter-in-law, were involved in a bizarre incident.
Haley took Hunter's handgun, threw it in a trash can behind a grocery store, only to return later and find that it was gone.
Delaware police began investigating, concerned that the trash can was across from a high school and the missing gun could be used in a crime, according to law enforcement officials, and a copy of a police report obtained by Politico.
But then a curious thing happened at the time.
Secret Service agents approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other being briefed by the Secret Service agent after the fact.
The agent showed their badges and ID cards to the store's owner, a guy by the name of Ron Pelmery, and asked to take possession of the firearms transaction record that Hunter had filled out to buy the gun earlier that month, according to people familiar with the incident.
Now the gun owner, to his credit, refused to hand over the transaction records to the Secret Service because such records fall under the purview of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.
The Secret Service agents left without the records.
According to people familiar with the case, later that day, the ATF arrived at the store to inspect the records.
Politico obtained copies of the firearms transactions record and receipt for the gun, October 12, 2018.
Hunter responded no to a question on the transaction record that asked, are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana, any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substances five years earlier?
He had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine.
And he and his family members have spoken about his history of drug abuse.
Lying on a form is a felony.
The Secret Service says they have no record of any agents investigating the incident.
And Joe Biden, not under protection at the time, said through a spokesperson he has no knowledge of.
Days later, the gun was returned by an older man who regularly rummages through the grocery store's trash to collect recyclable items, according to people.
But the alleged involvement of the Secret Service remains a mystery, especially since Joe Biden was not technically under protection in 2018 when it took place.
One law enforcement official said individual Secret Service agents at the agency offices in Wilmington, Delaware, kept an informal hand in maintaining the former vice president's security.
The person cited an instance in 2019 when the Wilmington office of the Secret Service called the Delaware State Police to arrange security for a public appearance by Biden.
Secret Service wouldn't answer any questions about whether they had informal involvement in the security during this time.
Now, our friend Greg Jared has says, well, number one, if the handgun is thrown in the trash next to a school, that is a crime under Delaware law.
No arrests were made.
It appears Biden was not entirely truthful about his drug history when he signed the sworn affidavit statement purchasing the gun.
That too would be a crime.
As a matter of fact, it's a felony.
No charges were filed.
There's evidence of Secret Service intervened without cause or jurisdiction.
At the time they weren't protecting Biden or his son.
So is that an attempt to secretly seize and bury the gun records to cover up for Hunter Biden?
If so, that would constitute obstruction of justice.
And suspiciously, the Secret Service claims that it is no record of what happened.
How convenient.
No paper trail.
Um imagine if the last name was Trump.
Just think about that.
All right.
One sentence, what do you think of the press conference?
Lee Atlanta.
One sentence only.
Go ahead, Lee.
Here comes Kamala.
Here comes Kamala.
Okay.
We're gonna have a board now.
We're gonna have a betting game.
Uh thank you, Lee.
Jerry in Florida.
Jerry, one sentence only.
What do you think?
Obama will no longer go down in history as the worst president because Biden just locked that up.
Wow.
Jerry, Florida, thank you.
Colton, Arkansas.
One sentence, sir.
Total.
Just a just uh, I mean, just a total embarrassment, man.
Just the absolute total embarrassment.
I mean, I I mean, I felt that too, and I'm like, I I look, I feel bad for the guy.
On the one hand, I'm like, I don't feel that bad for him.
Because he's lying through his teeth.
He's but he's so struggling.
It's painful.
Don't you find it painful to watch?
I find it painful.
Anyway.
Don in Ohio, thank you.
Uh Dawn in Ohio, what did you think?
Well, I don't have a sentence.
I just have a word, and it's sad.
It's it was sad to watch.
Well said.
Mary Ann Mary, I'm sorry, in New York.
Mary, what do you think?
Hey, Sean.
We are in serious, serious trouble.
I don't understand what people do not see.
What is going on?
I think everybody does, but the worst part of that, Mary, is this.
So do our enemies.
That's the scariest part in all of this.
Um my team, I I can't even begin to describe the reactions that I've been getting from Sweet Baby James.
You didn't ask me what mine was.
I was just gonna say, what's your you can give more than one sentence?
We'll allow you as as as perhaps.
No, I'm just gonna give you one user to say what you want.
It's fantastic.
Biden loves the birds.
We went from crow to eagle.
You know, I'm wondering what's next.
Biden loves the birds.
Wasn't that a bizarre bizarre as an understanding?
First of all, the analogy is ridiculous.
And if that's his definition, it applies to him and his fellow Democrats because they use the filibuster.
So I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing.
This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.
This is gigantic.
That's a the scarier part is that now we now know where he stands on ending the filibuster.
Now I'm gonna tell you the Republicans, and I we have the wobbly ones like Ben Sass the Jackass and Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski.
Republicans of all 50 of them agree that they're not gonna show up if they're gonna try and destroy the country with SR1, like HR one in the House.
If they don't agree to stop that, then they're useless as a party because they need a quorum.
They need one Republican to open up the Senate.
And if no Republicans show up because they're gonna pull this crap, then guess what?
Then we're just gonna have a stalemate.
And at some point, somebody's gonna have to blink.
What's your one line?
Ethan, you want to do that.
No, what about you?
What about you?
What's your one line, Mr. Talk Show host?
You know, I'm not sure.
Just one line.
I already gave 20 minutes of commentary.
I just want your one line.
I can't do a single thing in one sentence.
This is very can't.
This is very true.
I agree with you on that.
Okay.
You know, I gave a long dissertation earlier about what I thought.
It is embarrassing.
You know, it's embarrassing, you know, big time.
Anyway, uh, all right, let's go back to our phones here.
Uh Janet in South Carolina.
What's up, Janet?
What'd you think?
I thought it was embarrassing.
And I have a one-line would be a new definition for PPP.
I think it was pre-planned.
I think it was pretty awful and pretty embarrassing for the United States.
That's the saddest part of it, isn't it?
But there's also the danger element.
And then you have to the next logical question is who is in charge?
Who's making these decisions?
Who's giving him these executive orders?
Who wrote the notes for him today?
Why does Jen Saki have to circle back when all she needs to do is make a copy of Joe's notes and hand them out to everybody?
Thank you, Janet.
Gene in California.
Gene.
John.
I have never seen a man of such power.
Anybody apologize so many times for everything they do.
A leader's supposed to lead, not apologize.
You know, think of all the different jobs that one can have.
Would you if you are going to hire somebody to run a 7-Eleven or to run a McDonald's or to run any small business?
Ask yourself this question.
If you're interviewing Joe Biden, would you would you would you think he's up to those jobs?
Because I don't think he would be.
Now we just talked about this woman is a hundred years old.
A hundred.
And this woman, you know, goes to work every day at McDonald's.
She's love.
People go just to see her.
Would you hire Joe to run a McDonald's?
Would you hire Joe to run a, you know, a supermarket or a 7-Eleven.
Chip, you know, one of those those, you know, quick march stores.
Um Gibbs in Florida.
Gibbs, what'd you think?
Well, I'm just wondering when we elected Jim Ignatowski from Taxi to be our president.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Uh Ryan in South Dakota.
What's up, Ryan?
Say, Sean, I don't need one sentence.
I only need two words.
Demented gaslighting.
Wow.
That's harsh.
That's hardcore.
Um Ethan is is like writing up a storm here because he's like he doesn't have his mic on today.
Is he not strong enough?
I think if we ask every leftist, would you put would you pick Joe Biden as CEO of your company?
Would you pick Joe Biden?
I don't know.
What if he how would you feel if you start talking to Joe Biden and he's your Uber driver?
How would that make you feel?
I don't think that Joe Biden should be elected, put anywhere, do anything that requires him to put a sentence together.
Okay.
Um sorry.
Oh.
Oh.
And this is the scary part.
This is nine weeks into him sitting in the White House.
Nine weeks.
And this is the best he can do.
If there's something medically, and I've talked to a lot of doctors that have differing, varying opinions, and obviously nobody's had a chance that I know of to examine the patient.
If you talk to doctors, though, it's very interesting what they say.
They look at the two frontal lobe surgeries that he had back in the 80s and the way they did it and what the ramifications of that are.
But what one thing they all agree on, if there's something wrong cognitively from a from a physical standpoint, and I'm not making that determination, and he's got cognitive impairment Of any kind.
Um, it's degenerative.
Now, if I'm right in saying it's the toughest job in the world, and they're gonna be pressuring him to to go on the Biden blitz, which is one event a day, and that the net result is the last month combined of Joe Biden's mess ups.
Um, you know that it the pressures of the job are now gonna be a factor.
All right, we'll continue on the other side.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, look at this.
COVID 19 spreading like wildfire among Health and Human Services staffers, Dallas Morning News.
So the staff, remember, the governor can't get into the K. Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center to look at the kids with with children's services.
Uh 1,470 self-reports of positive COVID-19 tests among personnel, uh, which is the refugee resettlement unit that handles these unaccompanied migrants.
Twenty, nine hundred children and teens tested positive for COVID-19.
Now it's unclear when the children became affected.
But now you've got 1,500, nearly 1,500 health and human services staffers testing positive for COVID.
Can somebody maybe the next time Joe comes out in another hundred days for a press conference, maybe ask him uh why we get lectured about mask wearing, why we're getting lectured about social distancing, why draconian shutdowns continue, and you're literally now in fact uh we're getting positive COVID cases because of your policies.
Something happens that's on your head.
We'll continue.
Attorney General from Arizona next is suing Biden.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.

All right, Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show.
Glad you're with us.
800-941-SEAN.
You want to be a part of the program.
I mean, it's really bad when I'm feeling sorry for Joe.
But I'm not feeling sorry when he lies to us.
Which is exactly what happened today.
Listen to what he said earlier about immigration.
The overwhelming majority of people coming to the border crossing are being sent back.
Lie or being sent back.
Why thousands, tens of thousands of people who are who are over the 18 years of age and single people, one at a time coming, have been sent back, sent home.
We're sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming.
We're trying to work out now with Mexico their willingness to take more of those families back.
But we that that's what's happening.
They're not getting across the border.
And those who are coming across the border who are unaccompanied children, we're moving rapidly to try to put in place what was dismantled, as I said.
For example, of all the children are coming across the border, over 70 percent are either 16 or 17 years old.
We're not talking about people ripping babies from mother's arms or little three-year-olds standing on the border.
Less than I think it's one and a half percent fall in the category of the very young.
So what we're doing is we're providing for the space again to be able to get these kids out of the border patrol facilities, which no child, no one should be in any longer than 72 hours.
And today, I went to, for example, I used all the resources available to me, went to the Defense Department, and the Secretary of Defense has just made available Fort Bliss.
5,000 beds.
Be immediately available.
5,000 beds in the Texas border.
So we're building back up the capacity that should have been maintained and built upon that Trump dismantled.
It's going to take time.
And the other thing we're doing, I might add, am I giving you too long an answer?
Because if you don't want the detail.
No, no, but I mean, I I I don't know how much detail you want about immigration.
Yeah, none of that is true.
None whatsoever.
Um anyway, here to weigh in on what's really going on.
Number one, the other lie here is that we they dismantled it all.
No, we had the stay in Mexico policy, Joe.
No, we built the wall, Joe.
We weren't building out new facilities for illegal immigrants, and you're lying when you say most are being sent back.
That's a lie, too.
And everybody that's reported, even though you put a gag order on them uh on what's actually been happening and is happening, are saying just the opposite.
Now, that's why we had on just a few weeks ago the attorney general of Arizona, uh Mark Bronovich is with us again.
Now he's suing the federal government over their immigration policy decisions.
Uh, is there anything you heard Joe Biden when he had a few lucid moments that was true about what the situation is today?
Sean, I'll tell you, I watched the presser and I couldn't help but thinking to myself, it reminded me of when I was a kid.
We had this cranky old guy down the street that would be like, oh, if you guys want to play in my grass, go ahead.
And then we'd start a football game in his yard, and then he'd come out like half an hour later and go, What the hell are you kids doing?
You're ruining my yard, get out of here.
And it's like, what?
You know, you're all confused because he was confused as to what he was doing or not doing.
And you hit upon this, you alluded to this.
If there's nothing wrong, or if the Biden administration's policy is honky-dory and not causing this, why are they so reluctant to let us see what's going on?
Why do they not allow border patrol and the customs folks to talk to us and to actually know the real numbers?
And it is a problem, it is an issue.
And I wish someone in this press conference would have asked.
The Attorney General in Arizona has sued you over an executive order because you refuse to deport people that have orders of deportation.
Federal law says they shall be deported.
Why have you refused to deport 1.2 million people, many of them that have either been charged with crimes or with criminal records?
I mean, it answer that question before you answer any other question.
Because that's a basic threshold question, Sean.
And then, of course, we get the come on answer about the conditions in which children are being held.
They're only supposed to be held uh um oh, never mind.
Oh, um 72 hours is blaming everything on Trump.
I mean, it is, you know, mocking the question about whether he finds the conditions acceptable.
Come on, you know, one of his come on man's promises better facilities.
It's not about that.
If you control the border, stay in Mexico policy, although he kind of accused Mexico of starving children or Trump For allowing Mexico to starve children, which wasn't true either.
Um, but it's it's just not true.
Now, all of this is happening against the law, because doesn't the law say you are an attorney general that people are not allowed to enter the country illegally.
Is that true?
That is true.
And and what what we are trying to do, Sean, that's why I have filed numerous lawsuits against the Biden administration.
The one we talked about regarding the fact that he halted deportations, that's clearly contrary to Title VII.
It says they shall the federal government has to do that.
He stopped that.
So I say that's in essence decriminalizing.
And then you throw on top of what I call the incentivizing, where now he's rescinded the Trump rule, which has been part of federal law for more than a hundred years in some form about the public charge, which basically now the Biden administration has said if you come here, you get free health care, you get free child care, you get free unemployment and college, all these sorts of benefits, which I would argue incentivizes.
And so he can say whatever he wants.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but the facts are what the facts are.
The reality is that he has sent out a huge signal flare that says we aren't going to prosecute you, and if you get here, you're gonna get government benefits.
So that's why we have had the surge.
It's it's a basic economic question of incentives.
Oh, the Biden administration is providing incentives.
And even in today's press conference, Sean, when he was talking about, well, they're gonna start building up capacity and they're trying to talk about space.
Well, what message is that sent?
That message basically sends, if you get here, we will find a place for you.
And what's not being talked about, I look, I talked to a lot of federal officials, I know a lot of federal judges, and I will tell you there's a real concern because they've said that people are literally being released now without court orders, without any paperwork, that are basically told, hey, just come back and check in at some other time.
Well, which is really a recipe for chaos and anarchy and to jeopardize all of our public safety.
So, regardless of what anyone thinks about immigration, this is exactly the not the right way to do it.
It's contrary to the laws you just alluded to, and I just don't think it's morally right either, because he's basically using these poor kids as pawns.
And as I said last time, remember, every time one of these kids comes across, the cartels are making money.
The plaza bosses control everything that goes across that border, including human beings.
Well, and the other thing is is he's just flat out lying.
And, you know, add to that too, and we can talk about this from a legal vantage point, him basically saying he's ending the filibuster.
And by the way, yeah, 250 filibusters were done last year.
They were done by his side.
They were done by Democrats last year.
I think, Sean, one of the reasons why people are so frustrated with politics, especially Washington, D.C., is because like even people like Biden, they've been there what, 40 plus years, Nancy Pelosi for they're they are so used to lying and manipulating.
I think sometimes they don't even understand when they're doing it.
And one of the reasons why people are so frustrated, it's the situational ethics you see it amongst so many politicians, where they say one thing and then they do something else in their personal and professional life.
And this is just another example where you know what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and when it is politically expedient for them to have one set of rules they want them, but then if they want to give DC statehood or some other crap, then all of a sudden it's like, oh, we need to get rid of these rules and they're terrible.
And it just shows you how everything is so transactional in the left.
The left is all about winning.
And and they go for the throat, and and that's part of the reason why I feel like as conservatives, we're always playing defense.
We have fair weathered conservatives that don't stand up for our values and defend them and articulate them that are afraid to fight, and then you have the left, and they're all in.
And you know, you've got the AOCs and the Pelosi's and stuff of the world.
I mean, they're playing a game of chess.
Well, I feel like a lot of times our side is arguing about which side of the checkerboard they want to play.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me play him saying, now remember, 250 filibusters last year, I believe, alone by his side.
So you're raising a great point.
Here's what he said about the filibuster.
With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position of the filibusters that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago.
Okay.
Well, uh look, I do think it was a joke.
Well, you know, probably pre you know predetermined, but putting that aside, um, again, they did it to Trump.
They did it to the Republicans.
The Republican Mitch McConnell was being pressured almost daily by by Donald Trump, they're gonna get rid of it.
You might as well do it first.
And he didn't do it.
So but Republicans could have, because it kept happening.
They only you know, so this is now him embracing it for the first time ever, but only to his advantage as which is the point you made.
Yeah, and the whole point of this is that the Senate is supposed to be that's why they have six year terms.
The framers of our constitution, you know, clearly wanted the Senate to be a more deliberative body.
They wanted them to like for passions to cool in the house because you know that was the idea.
That was population based, and Senate was based on, you know, each state got their representative, and so the Senate by its nature is supposed to be the deliberative body, the debating body that's not supposed to have mob rules.
Because when you leave it to fools, that's when the mob rules.
And that's essentially what the left wants nowadays.
And just as an aside shot, and I know um uh literally as we were talking, I just filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, um, his Treasury Secretary yelling over uh their rule or their proposed rules that basically in the COVID bill would say that states can't cut taxes.
So there is a multi-pronged fight going on now with the Biden administration.
And I say that you know, elections have consequences, but so do poor executive orders.
And clearly the Biden administration and you know his hacks in Congress like Pelosi and Schumer are lurching this country far and far to the left, and unless we stand up now, this country's gonna be unrecognizable for our kids.
Now in the last week, Kamala Harris, now she's the person that once referred to uh ICE as the KKK, you know, asked a week ago if she uh she was going to the border.
Not today.
Uh listen to her.
Is it the border?
Uh um not today.
But um I have before, and I'm sure I will again.
Both Republicans and Democrats said, Look, if you're gonna change the Trump policy, the previous policy, at least have a game plan, and there doesn't appear right now to be a game plan.
Well, okay, look, it's a huge problem.
I'm not gonna pretend it's not.
It's a huge problem.
And are there um are we looking at overcrowding at the border, particular of these kids?
Yes.
We've been in office less than a hundred days.
Um we're addressing it, we're dealing with it, but it's gonna take some time.
And are we frustrated?
Are you frustrated?
Yes, we are.
The plan was uh what we would call today a domestic terrorist group.
Why?
Why were why would we call them domestic terrorist groups?
Because they tried to use fear and force to change political environments.
And what was the motivation for the use of fear and force based on race and ethnicity?
Right.
Are you aware of the perception of um many about what how the the power and the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws?
And do you see any parallels?
I do not see any parallels between officers and agents.
I'm talking about perception.
I I do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally mandated as in as it relates to enforcing the law.
Are you aware that there's a perception?
Are you aware that there's a perception ice in the same category as the KKK?
Is that what you're asking me?
Uh wow.
What's your reaction to that, Mr. Attorney General?
Sean, I will tell you that part of anybody that knows somebody that's unfortunately had an issue with like drugs or alcohol will tell you the first step to recovery is acknowledging you have a problem.
And the reality is it doesn't matter who Biden sends down to the border, because until they admit that it's a crisis and that it may have been smoldering a little bit over the years, which it has over the last 20 years because Congress has neglected it.
But the Biden administration threw an accelerant on that fire.
They have caused a huge brush fire, they won't even recognize it's a problem.
So the first step is they need to recognize it's a problem.
Second thing, and my big bone to pick, let's hopefully uh, you know, uh Vice President Harris will, you know, do something about this.
But when she was running, she advocated for expanding Medicaid for all people that he didn't have legal status here.
And you know, Medicaid for all plan, what the Biden administration did, and one of what our lawsuits is about, is because the Biden administration is now trying to do that, Sean.
They are trying to give free health care, free child care, free unemployment benefits.
So anybody that pays taxes, whether you're in Arizona or anyone else, the Biden administration is trying to subsidize people that broke the law and came into this country and are here illegally.
And to me, that's not fair, it's not right, and it's not legal.
And that's why we filed that lawsuit.
And so the irony is when Kabala Harris was running for president, she said that and she got attacked, even by people from Biden and stuff.
But now apparently that's the administration's position.
So I think this is just another example of how quickly the Democratic Party is lurching to the left.
This is not the Democratic Party of people I, you know, go to church with, or that I've known for a long time that, you know, families were, you know, electricians and worked in the mines or worked in the auto factories and you know, the Midwest back in the 60s and 70s.
I mean, the Democratic Party has changed.
It is the party of the hard left.
It is like the Star Wars bar scene now.
All right, so get give us the timeline now with your lawsuit.
Where are we going from here?
Okay, the one dealing with the public benefits, the public charge, where we've tried to intervene to defend those rules about denying benefits.
We are still waiting to hear from the Ninth Circuit on it.
That could be any day, hopefully sooner rather than later, because we'd like to take that up to the Supreme Court.
The issue dealing with the um executive order about pausing the deportations.
Um we are gonna be in court on April 8th here in the Federal District Court in Arizona on that case.
All right, keep us up to speed.
We appreciate all you're doing.
Every American will benefit, and I think you'll be successful.
Uh, Mr. Attorney General, we appreciate it when we come back.
Wide open phones, 800-941 Sean, our number.
Wow, what a show we got on Hannity tonight.
Now Joe Biden even getting his irritability up.
It's past his n nappy time.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza?
You know, I'm watching this, besides the mental little lapses that he constantly has, You there is a pain in this that I it's it's it's just you you know the guy's hanging by a thread.
Everybody around him knows he's hanging by a thread.
Even fake news CNN admitted he was practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing for the press conference.
We know they came in with their lies about immigration.
We know that they, you know, Joe is all practiced up, jacked up until then he starts getting irritated.
Uh uh maybe I'll just uh as I'll stop now.
I mean, these these brain farts of his, it's obvious decline.
It is obvious a cognitive struggle.
And you see how hard they have to work him to just get him ready for a simple news conference.
It shouldn't have to be that hard.
Where are the people around him that care about him and his life in this whole process?
Because if if I'm looking at this, and again, I'm putting aside, listen, the radicalism that he's now advocating, eliminating the filibuster, all the things we warned you about.
That's that's a whole separate issue.
Lying completely about the immigration issue.
You know, the strategy, just blame Trump.
People hate Donald Trump.
Blame Donald Trump.
Blame the dog bites beasting stings feeling sad.
Blame Trump.
You know, I never saw a president have to refer to a notebook before during a press conference.
It is, you know, my name is Joe.
My wife's name is Jill.
Uh, we live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Now, is it that bad yet?
No, but it's really getting a little bit scary, is all I'm gonna say.
Actually, a lot scary.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh let's say hello to Don in Lake Ronconcuma, sir.
How are you?
Sean, I I don't know if you're catching some of this Biden uh uh phony point.
Yeah, that's that's about all that anyone cares about.
I know.
I'm telling you, the uh I need uh duct tape to keep my head together from exploding.
Yeah, pretty much.
I think that that might help a little bit.
Yeah, I think uh most of us would have the same thing.
You are so I have never seen anybody rifling through pages, checking uh his notes to answer these questions that have already been pre uh screened two weeks ago.
Listen, if CNN is admitting that he had to practice for this thing all week, that we we got a problem here.
Confused, pathetic, irritable.
I'll tell you, I'm and factually just lying.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I did you hear the part where he says that uh Trump's policies didn't work on the border, and that's why we're doing what we're doing now.
I I really went out of my skin now.
Yeah, well, that's just the beginning of the lies, you know.
Oh, Donald, no, Donald Trump had the stay of Mexico policy.
Then he accused basically Mexico and Trump of starving children, which was not true either.
Because they weren't coming in the numbers they were coming because they knew they weren't getting in.
And then he's lying and saying, no, no, no, most of those people we're sending home.
No, they're not sending them home.
When are you gonna let the press in?
I'm not gonna let the press in.
What that's transparency?
Yep.
You gotta be kidding me.
They're not allowed to inspect these kids now that are in cages for weeks at a time because what?
He doesn't want the world to see how horribly the how horrible the conditions are.
Well, Donald Trump didn't maintain them.
Uh, excuse me, with all due respect, uh, that wasn't his job.
He enforced the law.
Nor did he dismantle it.
But he did send people home.
I mean, that happened, as it should have happened.
Pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, I digress.
Go ahead.
This this entire press conference is uh is a show uh and it's a it's a real train wreck.
This is gonna be something to analyze for next uh week or two.
Next next week or two, this is gonna go down in history.
Uh and I'll tell you the other part that no one's gonna say.
Our enemies are watching.
Vladimir Putin's already caught up.
He's hip to what's going on.
He's openly mocking, in my opinion, the president of the United States.
Yep.
The world is watching this.
The world sees it.
Democrats, the media, they they they're trying to push it all under the rug.
And how about what that does, it is it is a sign of American weakness.
Yep.
The presidency matters.
That's why you can't protect people and put them in their basement bunker and not ask them tough questions an entire campaign.
That's why, you know, if he has to spend an entire week with nothing basically on his schedule, only one item a day maximum, many days with no items, uh preparing.
We've got a problem here.
And it's getting worse by the day.
That's just a fact.
Another thing, Sean, when I asked about the new c uh North Korea nuclear testing.
Oh, well, we'll check with our uh allies in the area and we'll we'll see how to uh what to do next.
He has he it it's just embarrassing, and it's uh dangerous, like you said.
I listen, I I think it's embarrassing to the United States.
I'm sorry, but the guys lost.
And you know, the those that don't oh, this is this is mean of you to talk about it's not mean.
It's just a fact, but you add to it the the power grab side of this with the radical agenda side of this and the outright lying and propaganda side of this, and it's scary for the country.
Anyway, Don, appreciate it.
800-941 Sean, our number, Michael California.
Keep getting uh a lot of talk about what's going on with your governor out there, not good for him.
What's going on, sir?
Immediately get him out of there.
We we we don't want him there.
Um, we're talking about uh hoping that the administration, the Biden administration does something.
To be honest, there is no real hope.
There's no real hope there.
Uh Biden taking credit for uh this the the uh vaccination.
My point is why aren't people thanking Trump?
Trump has done so much.
I think the reason is is because people are are are scared.
Good people get scared and bad people get crazy.
Uh it's just it it's it's beyond me w what has taken place in just the last few months, Sean.
I I I really just don't know what to make of it.
I'm ac absolutely shaking in my boots.
You should be.
I don't I don't even know what to tell you.
I mean, I wish I had the answer.
The answer is uh you better st we better stay in touch with Joe Manchin's office and Kristen Cinnamon's office, and you better stay in touch with your local legislatures, and we gotta have attorneys generals like Mark Bronovich.
Listen to this little precious moment during the uh presser today.
I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing.
This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.
I mean, this is gigantic what they're trying to do.
And it cannot be sustained.
Do everything in my power, along with my friends in the House and the Senate to keep that from uh from becoming the law.
Uh back to our busy telephones as we say hi to Jared in Florida.
What's up, Jared?
How are you?
I'm good, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you, sir.
New new resident of Florida just left New Jersey.
I don't blame by the way, good for you.
Don't bring liberal policies with you if you go to any red state.
That's the only rule.
Uh uh, I'm insulted that you think I would, but that's okay.
No, I'm just I'm just saying it's a general rule, it's not specifically designed for you.
I'm just saying generally, if you're a liberal Democrat that ruined your state, don't move to a red state and ruin that state with your stupid policy ideas.
That's all I'm saying.
That's fair.
Absolutely.
I already got my don't New York might water the t-shirt.
So um I wanted to touch on two things.
I uh I've been working for the federal government for ten years.
Um one of the big projects I worked on, if you remember the facility that Alyssa Milano tried to get into that holds thousands of unaccompanied children.
They're they go to school, they get fed, they have rooms, they have a soccer field, football field, you know, everything that they could possibly want.
That facility is sitting cold right now.
There's a skeleton staff there keeping it ready to open, and it's not been opened by HHS or ORR yet.
Well, you gotta understand something here.
Look at what they look at how they treat, they build a million dollar soccer field for for people down in Gitmo, the way we treat prisoners.
You know, I'm I'm just watching all of this, and it's amazing to me that Joe Biden's policies were dramatically different than Trump.
Border wall construction stops, stay in Mexico ends, they bring back catch and release.
Joe is a candidate.
If you need asylum and I'm president, you come.
I'll come to America.
Okay, they're coming.
They're coming in big numbers.
Then he makes the lie up, well, this is this is the time of year when they're gonna come.
No, it's up over 25% from last year alone.
And then he makes other factual errors and mistakes on all of it.
We're sending more people back.
No, you're not sending people back.
That's the problem.
You're not allowing the professionals to do their job.
Anyway, back to our phones.
Andrew Oklahoma, what's up, Andrew?
How are you?
Great, Sean.
So I wonder, have you noticed that the media has started to shift a little bit uh and sour on Biden, especially with the immigration crisis?
I think in I would say minor.
If this was Donald Trump and we had the images of kids, if this was Donald Trump and the press was was banned from going into the facilities, if it was Donald Trump and a gag order was put on border patrol officials, all of them, and all interview requests no must go through DC and no more ride-alongs.
If Donald Trump were putting kids in in cargo shipping containers with bars on the window and no access to it and building new kids with cages and having kids on top of each other and a high rate of COVID positivity, and then they're shipping these people all over the country.
Trust me, it would have it would be an unmitigated disaster that the media would not stop talking about at all ever.
They would say he's abusing children.
I have a theory though, because the media has started to shift a little, especially the lack of transparency.
They started to push back on the Biden administration.
And I have a theory that that may be for a purpose for secondary purpose of kind of shifting public opinion against Biden so that they can prep everybody for the incoming hailing of uh, you know, as as Biden's called her president Kamala.
What do you think?
What's your thought?
At this point, maybe maybe he's he's telegraphing.
They had the memo that went out this week, too.
Good point.
Yeah.
It said no longer refer to it as the Biden administration, it's the Biden Harris administration.
So the lady that pretty much says the perception is ICE is like the KKK is now in charge of this mess down at the southern border that they're not even calling a crisis.
Good point.
At the top of the hour, we will have Mark Simone, Betsy McCoy will get their reaction to this press conference and more straight ahead.
All right, back to our busy phones, 800 nine four-one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh let us say hi to let's see here.
Kate is in Colorado.
Hey, Kate, how are you?
Glad you called.
By the way, just like New York, we're gonna have legal marijuana now in in New York.
By the way, the government's getting a big chunk of the money.
Hi, son.
Thanks for taking my call.
So uh, you know, my husband and I have been traveling to McKellen, Texas for months, uh, while President Trump was in office and after Biden took office.
And what's going on at the border with this crisis is being created by Biden Harris, not President Trump.
Um, my husband's a physician and treats COVID patients.
And what we've witnessed since Biden took office, is that many migrants are flying on major carriers that don't have to show proof of a COVID negative test.
And that's because they're flying within the continental US.
Um at the airport when we're there, there are two lines.
One is for non-migrants who are required to go through security and provide ID.
And the other line is for migrants who do not go through the same process.
They do not provide ID, and they do not go through any security measures.
Our flights typically have over half of a small commuter plane carrying these passengers.
I will tell you, every American should share a level of frustration here.
We have been now uh the the especially blue state governors, you know, but for Joe Biden to take credit, a hundred shots in a hundred days that I did it in less than a hundred days.
Those are Donald Trump's.
That is Operation Warp Speed.
That was his vaccine.
He had already put 36 million shots in people's arms before he left office.
It was not a high bar to get to 100 based on the fact that he had already ordered 800 million vaccines.
800 million.
By the way, I'm now officially eligible in the state of New York if I want to get the vaccine, which I think I'm leaning towards, but I haven't really been thinking about it.
So for him, but now we're going to double it to 200.
None of that is possible.
Joe Biden, no travel ban.
Joe Biden, Democrats impeaching Trump.
They did it twice instead of prioritizing the help for the for the country.
You know, 9% of this 1.9 trillion dollar disaster non-emergency COVID relief bill.
And some of the money goes to millions of illegal immigrants, but most of it is a blue state bailout, a boondoggle.
It's frustrating.
It really is.
All right.
Quick break, news roundup, information overload hours next.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Yeah, it was the Biden Shift show today, just as we predicted.
Even and you could tell he's trying so hard and he practiced and practiced and practiced, and even fake news CNN admits he's been practicing, practicing, practicing.
Anyway, let's go to some of the highlights, then we'll check in and get the perceptions, the intuitive insights of the great Mark Simone and Betsy McCoy.
Uh but in case you missed the well cognitive struggling, the outright lying, the propaganda, the misinformation, the blame Trump uh at every point, uh press conference.
Uh we'll bring you up to speed.
I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.
So the best way to get something done, if you if it holds near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able to I'm we're gonna get a lot done.
And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about.
Um sorry.
Oh with regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a position of the filibuster that existed just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago.
I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing.
This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.
I mean, this is gigantic what they're trying to do.
And it cannot be sustained.
And do everything in my power, along with my friends in the House and the Senate to keep that from uh from becoming the law.
We have over a hundred thousand wellheads that are not capped.
Leaky methane.
What are we doing?
And by the way, we can put as many pipe fitters and miners on us to work capping those wells at the same price that they would charge to dig those wells.
So I I just find it um frustrating.
Frustrating.
Talk about last point I'll make in the infrastructure, and I apologize for spending more time on it, but is that if you think about it.
Um this is scary.
This is the presidency.
This is the leader of the free world.
This is the president of the United States.
We have enemy countries, hostile regimes, hostile actors.
They are watching this, and they're seeing a literally a weak, frail, cognitively struggling, and I'll add liar, uh, out there leading this great country of ours.
Uh I find it on the one hand very sad.
It is embarrassing.
He gets lost.
It's, you know, I never watched a president before have to read the notes put before him in a press conference like what happened today.
On top of the blame Trump, blame Trump.
I'm great, but blame Trump.
It's all me.
Anyway, Mark Simone, host at our New York flagship station, W O R AM 710, Betsy McCoy, former Lieutenant Governor.
She's also the chairwoman of the committee to reduce infection uh deaths.
Uh a lot to talk about.
Mark Simone, what was your uh take on this uh magnificent press conference today?
Uh uh, let me get my notes.
Don't make me laugh.
I can't help but laugh.
My name is Joe.
It's on the card right here.
My wife's name is Jill.
I live in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Even fake news CNN admitted he was prepping all week.
Uh yeah, that's the scary part.
This is with preparation.
Uh let me just ask the country a question.
And this is the question.
Remember the great question?
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
This is the question for him.
Would you let him drive you in a car?
I mean that is a serious question.
Would you feel safe with him driving?
I hate I hate I I'm gonna give you my honest answer.
You want an honest answer?
No, I'll drive, Joe.
There's my answer.
Let me drive.
That's my answer.
Uh I you know, he's a nasty guy in private.
He loses his temper at briefings.
That's been a problem for years.
And I saw it flare up when that uh second time they asked him about 2024.
You could see him sniffing at the reporter getting a little angry.
And he's right.
Why ask about 2024 and his condition?
This guy shouldn't even be buying green bananas.
All right, Betsy, look, you're you know a lot about health care.
I'm not gonna make a medical diagnosis here.
I see what I see, and I see weak, I see frail.
I see cognitively he's struggling.
It's obvious.
You can't deny it.
Is it I mean, those that deny it, I mean, they just are p partisan hacks, and they're probably part of the group that enabled this to go hidden for the entire campaign under the guise of of COVID safety keeping him in the basement bunker.
That's right.
He clearly looks impaired, but there's something even worse, Sean, and that is that he's a sellout to our major enemy, China.
When he started talking about how a president should be so concerned about human abuses against the Muslim Uyghurs in China and against people in Hong Kong, of course we should.
But Biden is refusing to get straight answers from our major enemy about the origins of a virus that just killed 540,000 Americans.
Why isn't he holding China's feet to the fire about that?
He sent Anthony Blinken up to Anchorage, and it wasn't even on his list of quote deep concerns.
And today when he enunciated deep concerns, he talked again about human rights in China.
But he should be demanding answers about that virus, and instead he's relying on the World Health Organization to investigate their sellouts to China.
It's like relying on the mafia to investigate organized crime.
You know, I I'm I'm watching all of this and I'm listening because we all know what's happening down at the border.
And you know, the idea that he thought that it was it was Donald Trump's job to build out more facilities to aid in a bet law breaking, is just shows how how absolutely ass backwards they all have this on the left.
Uh no, Donald Trump built the wall to prevent people from coming.
He enforced the laws of the land, uh, deported people whenever he could legally, even spite of having the courts against him, uh, Mark Simone, but he also created the stay in Mexico policy that worked, and he eliminated catch and release, which is now back.
Yeah.
Hey, and a great question.
Uh obviously the press is never gonna ask him this, but you just got elected president of the United States.
Your first big crisis, the border crisis.
Why did you assign somebody else to take care of it?
I thought you were the president.
If you every time he has a crisis, he has to assign it to somebody else.
That tells you everything.
I mean, he's he's not even up to this.
And and this Homeland Security Secretary is a mess.
Nobody asked about him when they asked if they could see the facilities.
He actually said on the Sunday shows we're working on a plan as to how you would see the facility.
What a plan would be open the door.
Just open the door.
No, they let remember they let MBC last night.
I'm pretty sure you saw this.
They let MBC last night go into the one facility that's nice.
And they and they've been lit they have literally put a gag order on border patrol.
They've put uh a gag order on everybody, and they put a total ban on anyone taking any pictures.
Period.
Yeah, they said we'll release footage.
So they took one facility, emptied it out, put three kids in it with playground equipment and sandboxes, and they look wonderful, and released that.
That's like Soviet propaganda film.
And and this Lester Holt falls for it and runs it without any disclaimer on it.
Yeah.
You know, I I I I'm listening and I've been watching and hearing from all my friends today, and I'll tell you what the consensus is.
This is the most pre this is the most painful moment in the in any presidency I think I've ever watched.
It is horrific.
Now, the questions were, you know, compliant, obviously, and corrupt, and the partisanship is real, But that's not it.
America now got to see somebody that just does not have his act together here.
And Betsy McCoy, I don't there's nothing we can really do about it, is there?
Well, there's the 25th Amendment, but then we'll have President Harris.
So the person he often points to as being the president.
I think the other scariest thing about this event today, aside from the feebleness of Joe Biden, is the misrepresentation.
Let's call it what it is.
The total lies about the laws being passed in various states to protect our system of voting to ensure that it's honest and only actual entitled voters vote, people who are legally entitled to vote.
And that law, eight that bill, excuse me, HR1, Nancy Pelosi's uh voting bill, isn't a bill to make voting easier.
It's a bill to make cheating easier.
And I heard the threat in Joe Biden's meanderings about the filibuster, that he would consider waiving the filibuster in order to get HR one passed.
That would be the end of our democracy, Sean.
That would be putting in place a one-party system.
Only Democrats could win.
Well, I think that's what they're trying to do.
And now the question is what options are available.
Now, my understanding, and I'll ask both of you, and either one that knows the answer, jump in, is that to get a quorum, you need at least one one of the 50 Republicans.
That's not a that's not an instance where Kamala Harris can be the tiebreaking vote.
In other words, if it means Mark Simone, that Republicans have to stay out of Congress, stay away, then I would say, yeah, that's what they need to do, so they can't even literally have a quorum to open up the Congress and just shut it down.
He said they want the old fashioned rules.
That's that's the old fashioned rules.
Use them.
Well, then Lindsey Graham mentioned that today.
That Lindsey Graham understands that Republicans can shut it down.
Uh Mark Simone.
Uh the problem is I got four or five Republicans I would never trust.
I don't want to mention McRomney, but absolutely Mitt Romney.
I'm not trusting these people to do that.
And uh, you know, every time you ask him about anything, voter uh rules and uh the uh filibuster.
How many times did he say Jim Crow in this every moment of the Well he suggested that the filibuster is racist for crying out loud?
And now you have Al Sharpton has gotten on the scene, and Al Sharpton now is threatening to play the race card against cinema and Joe Manchin.
Well, in fact, Chuck Schumer is arguing and Elizabeth Warren that the filibuster has these racist origins.
I'd like to correct them and remind them in the fact it's the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party that has racist origins with Jim Crow.
And if they want to eliminate these vestiges of racism, better to eliminate the Democratic Party.
Well, I mean That was the party of segregation.
Well, yeah, and remember it was Joe Biden that actually worked with the former Klansman uh to stop the integration of schools again in the when when he was in the basement bunker, Mark Simone, uh nobody was asking him questions.
Uh and Kamala Harris, while she brought it up, just seemed to forget that part when she accepted the role as vice president and seemed to forget the Tara Reed allegations, the the leader of the I believer caucus, uh, and seemed to forget the Lucy Flores allegations.
Yeah, I hate to say it.
We're probably in the golden age of the Biden administration right now.
This is only going to get worse for the rest of the year.
And next year, it's gonna be a disaster.
I mean, you got uh he just makes these claims.
I'm a guy who gets things done.
He's been working on climate change for 40 years, hasn't gotten anything done.
He's been working on income inequality for 40 years, hasn't made any progress.
He knows somebody should have said to him, you know, you've never actually run anything in your entire life.
How are you gonna run the whole government?
And then you got Kamala Harris, who's playing uh hide the medicine with him all the time.
I I don't know where this is gonna end up.
I thought it was very well hang on, Betsy.
We got to take a break here.
We'll continue more with uh Betsy McCoy, Mark Simone.
Uh we'll check in with Air Force uh senior master sergeant, our friend uh Israel Del Toro at the bottom of the hour, then we'll get to your calls 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Okay.
Uh sorry.
Oh.
All right, our final moments with Mark Simone, Betsy McCoy.
Betsy, you wanted to add.
I wanted to add that I found it very interesting that Biden was reminiscing about his many phone calls with President Xi when President Xi was vice president.
And I I wondered why they didn't discuss at that point China's plan uh to uh pursue bio warfare uh with viruses because that in fact that's when it all started this the this these uh research facilities in China that have been investigating germ warfare.
Yeah uh uh I think the fact that they allowed China to embarrass them and then apologize to China, Mark was one of the lowest moments that reminiscent of the apology tour, Barack Obama.
Well, and you know, in his defense, they are getting millions and I don't know, maybe a billion to Hunter and his hedge fund and all of that.
And uh you listen, they he can't stand up to anybody.
He can barely stand up to the press corps, he can't stand up to reporters.
How's he gonna stand up to China?
Uh everybody's gonna walk all over us.
Uh those of you that hated Trump, I know he hurt your feelings.
This guy is hurting foreign policy, hurting the border, hurting the economy, hurting jobs.
This is a disaster.
Yeah.
Well, by the way, this whole Secret Service cleanup of uh potential criminal activity, a Hunter Biden and the gun story.
Yeah, imagine if that was Donald Trump Jr.
Uh, there'd be impeachment hearings.
Um anyway, guys, thank you both.
800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
We'll get to your calls.
We'll do a quick check-in with uh Air Force Senior Master, our friend Sergeant Israel Del Toro.
Um Linda is by far his biggest fan, although I'm a pretty close second.
We'll get to that next.
And Hannity tonight at nine quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
We're gonna get to your calls here in just a few minutes.
Uh checking in with a friend of the program, Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro.
Um, he knows a thing or two about illegal immigration.
Uh, because somebody very near and dear to his heart went through the process legally, which by the way is difficult.
It's hard, it's arduous, but they did it the right way.
Like my four grandparents.
Yep, they came through Ellis Island legally.
Anyway, now we see you know, Joe Biden through lying through his teeth all day about how, oh, we're sending most of them back.
No, you're not sending them back.
That's a lie, Joe.
Even people with COVID, you're sending to hotel rooms, we're paying for it.
You just took on an additional 86 million on hotel rooms to house migrants, even some with COVID, and then you're sending them to other states, and many uh many of these cases were not even processing people.
They don't even have a court date.
They're now basically allowed in the country.
And you've let that happen.
And now you're blaming Trump, which is unbelievable.
But, you know, he was reading from his notes.
What else can I tell you?
Um, anyway, uh Master Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro's back with us.
How are you, my friend?
Good.
How are you doing, Sean?
Your wife did this legally.
Am I wrong?
No, she did.
Uh it was long and uh expensive.
Long and expensive and worth it, right?
It was probably worth it.
Yeah, by the way, you married way out of your league.
I'm just saying.
By the way, even Linda, your biggest fan agrees that you married way up.
So you're telling me I'm the reacher and she's a settler.
I'm not don't drag me into this.
You know, Linda said it.
I'm blaming her.
You talked to your BFF on this.
Umtice she's quiet now.
Why you're not.
I'm not being quiet.
I just you're doing so well with that shovel.
I figured I'd give you a minute, you know, let you work it out.
Trying to be nice.
I love Carmen.
I was there when they renewed their vows.
You know, it was a beautiful thing, and I love them both equally, so you know, but I'm biased.
Okay.
That's cool.
I thought I thought we were all friends, but I I see where it is.
Oh, we are friends, my friend.
Oh, geez.
Here we go.
All right.
86 million on hotel rooms for illegal immigrants.
Your wife went through the process legally.
your reaction to that.
And then by the way, then we had in Washington our National Guard troops sleeping in concrete floors in parking garages.
Just a side note.
Yeah, you know, that that like that irked me.
You know, uh, you know, our I recommend people were generous for understanding and all that.
Uh, but uh, you know, people always have asked me, you know, what made you vote for President Trump's guy?
Because he actually thought of us.
You know, it seems like our politicians have regarded they're representing the citizens of the United States, not the citizens of Hundred Ours, not the citizens of the world, not citizens of Mexico, citizens of the United States.
And, you know, just knowing that they're spending 86 million dollars.
Uh, you know, and the immigrants they're coming here illegally, and yet, you know, our our guardsmen were sleeping out for uh, you know, guard the capital, which again, it's baffling that it's harder to get into the Capitol than it is to get into our country.
You know, but again, people are saying people says fences and laws don't don't work, but yet, you know, the Capitol's surrounded by them.
Yeah, but you know it it really you know with a I hate to say but a tick of the nuts when you when I when I saw that.
It really was, because our guardsmen are people that go to war that sacrifice themselves sleeping on the floor.
Hey, you know, I see, you know, it's like brought up, you know, I have family members, obviously, that have come here, you know, and I have some type of members that are that are we're illegal.
You know, and they've all you know, they've all said you know, the the country ever goes to God for bed, I love the draft or World War III.
They've all said that they'll leave.
And and that's my thinking.
It's like if you don't go through the legal way, trying that you want to be here and you just want to skip the line.
If you're not willing to stay in your country and fight for it, you honestly think they're gonna stick around and fight for the country if we need them to.
Uh, but you know, that's another story.
But yeah, it was it it was unbelievable that all that money, you know, we're spending to get our guys and gals that just hate to stay on the floor for us.
Thank God they have you as an advocate.
Great to catch up with you, my friend.
Best to you and your family, your wonderful family, and uh we'll catch up soon, okay?
All right, sounds good, Son.
All right, 800 941 Sean, our number you want to be a part of the program here.
All right, big time AJ in Houston, Texas.
I've been told that if I don't get him on the air today, that he's gonna bust a blood vessel after watching this train wreck of a press conference today.
Uh, sir, how are you?
Big time Sean Hennedy.
Big time AJ, Houston, Texas.
What's going on, baby?
Oh, first of all, you know I have to say it.
First of all, my girl Linda.
Hey.
Hi, AJ.
By the way, she's getting all the shout-outs today.
I love AJ.
Do you remember when we met AJ the first time?
I couldn't believe it.
I was so happy to meet AJ.
You have this infectious personality and smile.
Uh, we could use you as president right now.
Do you mind changing jobs?
Well, I wish I could, Sean, but you know, they claim I'm a white guy on the radio being paid, you know.
Oh, no, they don't.
Oh, come on.
Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, back up there.
Is that a joke or are you kidding me?
You're serious.
I'm serious.
Oh, I have the pictures to prove it.
Call Joe Pags and ask Joe Pags.
They think I'm a white guy on the radio, Sean.
I'm serious.
They think I'm a white guy being paid on the radio.
Well, you who thinks that?
Because I've met you.
You know what you are?
You're a great American.
You're a friend of mine and a friend of the show.
That's how but I uh white people would what they're playing the race card against you to call you names to denigrate you.
Why?
Because you're supposed to think uh a certain way, and if you've if if you have your own independent thought patterns, God forbid, you think for yourself, uh somehow they're gonna attack you personally like that.
That's disgusting.
Yes, and it's just like they doing Donald Trump, they blaming me, you know, by being who I am, way I think, and the you know, I think on my own, Sean.
I don't need nobody to tell me what to think.
I got eyes.
Good law gave me eyes to see the atrocity.
I'm gonna call the treason is what these liberals, I'm gonna call them white and black liberals going, and you know what I'm talking about.
It ain't about color, it's just what the black folks is letting the white liberals and the black liberals do to them far as they think and pattern.
They don't use their own brain sales guy gave them.
They let they being bamboozled.
Look what Joe Biden, he's lying about everything.
I'm just gonna cut it short because I know we ain't got that much time.
He's lying about everything, and we got the sorry media.
I go all president.
You know I do.
They got the sorry media that will not ask him the questions that the and rushing like they did Donald Trump because they know the people if they woke up, if they smelt the coffee, that Biden shouldn't even be in there.
Truthfully, Sean, we don't have a president in the United States right now.
I'm just gonna put it out there, people.
Sean didn't say it.
I'm saying it.
We don't have a president.
Look at the Middle East, how they treat him.
Look what he did, how they treat China treated him.
I mean, son, there's no way now we know why they wanted Trump out of there.
Because Trump wasn't gonna kiss the backside of the Republicans or the Democrats.
And one more thing.
Where are the Republicans storming the doors of the Democrats?
Just because they call you racist, don't bow down to them and say, oh, well, we better be sensitive to the black.
No, no.
The black people mostly voted for Trump.
They didn't want this.
I'm gonna be frank with you, Sean.
I know I'm sorry.
I go off a little bit, but this is this is unbelievable.
I'm tired of the race game.
I'm tired of it.
And anybody that used the call, you a racist or anything, tell them to get a mirror and take a look in it.
I'm sorry, Sean.
You know I've got to go off a little bit, sir.
Uh we actually allow free speech.
Uh otherwise you would have been canceled decades ago on the show.
Just saying.
Um anyway, big time.
We love you.
Thanks for checking in.
Amy in Massachusetts.
Hello, Amy.
I bet you're feeling great about your country today.
That's a tough one to follow.
Yeah, he just AJ's tough, man.
He's he's the real deal.
I just wanted to say, since the Democrats and the Biden Harris administration are now in the child sex trafficking business down there, and they're now complicit in any of the all of the abuses of these children.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't blame it on the cartels when it's their despicable policies that make it possible for them to uh get away with this.
They need to send the kids home.
Let me tell you something.
They don't want to.
This is the dirty little secret.
Look, for years, the only reason we always had open borders for years.
And why the only person to fix it was Donald Trump is one two reasons.
The Republicans and the Democrats.
Republicans, sorry, they were catering to their big donor, big business corporations that wanted cheap labor.
That's just a fact.
And the Democrats, they wanted to give amnesty because they thought, well, you know, we're gonna have a larger voting constituency, and we'll be able to accumulate more power over time.
And if we give away something of great value like amnesty, then we will forever have people with amnesty voting democratic.
That's what's been going on.
Donald Trump stopped all of that.
He proved that we can control the border.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Um, anyway, good call.
Appreciate it, Amy.
God bless you.
800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh, Ashton is in Florida, where we should be.
What's up, Ashton?
How are you?
Great, Sean.
It's a pleasure talking to you.
Thank you.
Pleasure to talk to you.
How's the weather?
Let me guess.
80 degrees, beautiful today.
Sun is shining, and you're wearing shorts.
No, I'm at work, so I have long pants on, but you've got you've got the rest of it right.
It's an absolutely beautiful day.
By the way, everyone I know that works in in Florida, a lot of them go to work in shorts, and I'm not a big flip-flopper wearer, but people on flip-flops.
Yeah, that's that's the typical off-duty wear of shorts and flip-flops.
But the uh the fire department that I work for does not allow shorts, so we're all in long pants.
Well, thank you for what you're doing.
Uh, firemen are awesome.
I love you guys.
They're awesome.
Thank you.
So my I have two daughters.
They're 16 and 20.
Uh, raised them conservatively, and now they are super libs.
Um, just social issue-based, but still um very uh it's hard to talk to anything, uh talk to them about anything.
And I assume that it's you know the typical social media, um, schools, their friends, things like that that help foster this behavior.
And it's funny because they're part of a group that preaches acceptance, but they're intolerant of others, you know what I mean?
So my my concern is how can we change America from the cancel culture uh to having to deal with somebody that you have a different issue, you know, something that you might find offensive because when I was younger, that was part of life.
You had to learn how to deal with things that offended you.
That was just how things work.
Let me let me give you your answer before I'm and I'm just trying to I I'm full of fundamentally understand the question.
You know, there are people that kids would always call this program, and and both my kids now are older in college, they're getting a little older now.
And and I've had my own private discussions with them.
I will tell you this I never talk about politics in front of them.
Very little do I talk to my kids about politics.
I'm their father.
Now, they know what their dad does for a living.
By the way, they all saw dad vaping, even though it didn't happen.
And they both laugh this time.
The first time my daughter was upset, the first time I got caught, which was a couple of years ago.
And anyway, so but it's interesting that they both understand at a very deep level, conservatism.
And you know, I I uh both of them for uh I I don't want to reveal tomorrow, I don't want to talk too much about my kids.
I want to leave them out of my life in the sense that my public life.
But I will tell you that you know, it's interesting that kids what they pick up on their own and how smart they are.
I have told kids that call this program that say they have a liberal professor, and I said, Look, you have two options.
You can risk lower grade and and you can go to battle with your teacher and you can speak out and you can challenge the teacher and you you can bring your facts to the table, and you might end up getting the worst grade you get in school.
Or you can play the game, get your A because you want to go to law school, grad school, or or medical school.
I said, if you play the game and you get the A, there's no shame in that.
There, and I really don't believe there is, because you don't have a choice oftentimes.
And sometimes in life you gotta play the game.
I'm not in a position anymore in my life, but I have to play that game.
I say what I want to say.
I said I try to be thoughtful in the things that I say, and I think through what I want to say, and I stay true to what my beliefs are.
I do not compromise who I am.
And and that's that to me is the balancing act.
If sometimes you gotta bite your tongue to keep your job or keep uh keep your grades up, that's acceptable.
