800-941 Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza?
A lot of news we're going to get to today.
You know, when you finally get to see Joe's Sippy Cup and he's asked this question, and I'm sitting there, and it's like 1-1,000, 2-1,000, 3-1,000.
You know, 10 seconds go by.
Let me just play this.
And this lame, pathetic, ridiculous excuse that I don't want to have a competition about who does better at the press conference.
That's not it.
Joe Biden, this has been a disaster.
You know, Boris Johnson having to say, Joe, I just introduced the president of South Africa.
Yeah, keep up, Joe.
Everybody mocking him, everybody laughing at it.
Of course, the world loves a weak America.
They want America to foot the bill for NATO.
They want America to foot the bill for the Paris Climate Accords.
So why wouldn't they want the old America full of weakness and appeasement back?
They love it.
It costs them less money.
And to get laughed at the way his fellow G7 members did is frankly embarrassing.
I can only imagine what Erdogan is doing in that meeting with Joe Biden.
We're never going to get the truth.
Now, usually after a summit, you have both parties go to the podium.
They hold a joint press conference.
Joe Biden's not going to do that with Vladimir.
And the lame excuse is, well, I don't want this to be a competition.
Who does better at the press conference?
That's not it at all.
Because whatever Joe's going to say to you, the American people, post-Vladimir summit has already been written regardless of what is actually going to happen in that room.
You know, Joe Biden allowed his Secretary of State to get dressed down in Anchorage, Alaska by the communist Chinese over, of all things, human rights.
And they sat there and they took it.
I mean, it's humiliating on a level I can't even begin to explain.
And so, you know, one embarrassment after another, 90 seconds, he screws up Syria and Libya and confuses them three separate times.
The incident with Boris Johnson.
Then you've got the Putin question.
You know, you said he's a killer.
You're still saying he's a killer?
Let's just listen.
Vladimir Putin laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer.
Is that still your belief, sir, that he is a killer?
Answer the first question.
I'm laughing too.
They actually.
Well, look, I mean, he has made clear that the answer is, I believe he has in the past essentially acknowledged that he was.
There are certain things that he would do or did do.
No wonder he constantly says, yeah, my staff won't let me answer any questions.
I have to go back and get my warm milkie in my sippy cup.
I mean, they won't let him.
What do you mean they won't let him?
Joe, what do you mean they won't let you?
Are they president or are you president?
But the reality is everybody around him knows the truth, and so does the entire world.
The only people playing this game are big tech and your corrupt media mob that protected him as a candidate and they're now protecting him as president.
You know, this guy is weak and frail and he's a cognitive mess and he can barely get through this.
You know, he gets lost and Joe Biden is out there finding him in the wrong cafeteria.
At another point, somebody, we love you, Joe, turns around.
Joe, focus, focus, Joe, focus.
I mean, what is this?
It's like a teacher in a classroom with a kid with ADHD.
I mean, what's going on?
He's not there.
And everybody sees it, but nobody in the media will talk about it.
You know, questions for Joe, you know, turn up.
By the way, he's two and a half hours late to a NATO press conference.
This is what thing infuriates me.
You go back four years ago.
Donald Trump shows up at the G7, and Donald Trump rocks their world.
We're paying for everything, and you countries won't pay your fair share.
That's going to end.
And think about it this way: what is NATO, what is the NATO alliance about?
Why is Turkey even still involved in the NATO and NATO alliance anyway?
They have no business.
They offer no logistical support anytime we'd ever need them.
So what's the point?
But more importantly, we're paying the freight.
Him saying America is back means America is now willing to once again pay all the bills.
We'll pay for the Paris climate accords that will refer to India and China as developing nations.
We're going to pay for NATO.
What's NATO there?
Who are they protecting against?
In large part, geographically, on top of everything else, against Russia, the hostile regime of Vladimir Putin.
So meanwhile, we're going to pay the larger amount for NATO, the larger amount for the Paris climate accords.
And in the meantime, our European allies, Western European allies, they're now doing deals, multi-billion dollar energy deals with Vladimir and getting closer to Russia.
And we're paying all the money, all the freight to protect Europe from Russia.
How does that make any sense at all?
None of it makes any sense.
And that's the difference between a strong leader, a president that's standing up for America first, and Joe that stands for America last in all things.
We're going to lead the world in stupidity and give up the lifeblood of the world's economy and then be beholden to countries that hate us, that'll rack up prices, jack them up as high as they can possibly get them up.
And we're all paying more for everything on every level.
Joe Biden was supposed to start his NATO press conference yesterday at 6.50 Brussels time.
He was late and he wasn't like 15 or 30 minutes late.
He was two and a half hours late, apparently out of commission.
What happened?
The White House isn't saying, was he jet lagged?
Was he tired?
Did he fall asleep?
Was he too groggy?
Was he incoherent?
You know, did you need to get a little Adderall caffeine into the guys to get him up to speed?
Throw a bucket of ice in his, you know, in his bath or something to wake him up.
What the hell happened?
The leader of the free world goes missing a full 150 minutes yesterday, and the White House won't even attempt to explain why.
And, you know, just one of the many questions that we all have.
You know, none of this is good for the world.
None of this is good for the country.
All this does is embolden America's enemies, and it's going to get worse.
Well, one irony out of all of this, Biden says Ukraine needs to clean up its corruption.
Really, Joe?
Clean up its corruption.
Is it corrupt, Joe, that zero experience, Hunter, made millions?
Any background, any expertise in energy, oil, gas?
Nope, nope, nope.
Any energy with Ukraine?
No.
Why did they pick you to give you millions?
I don't know.
Maybe because your dad's the vice president in charge of Ukraine?
Probably.
And the same would go for Kazakhstan.
And the same would go for China.
And the same would go for Russia.
Now, the one question nobody will ever dare ask, I guess, besides us, is that, oh, is it possible that all the monies that Hunter made while Joe was president with these countries that the crackhead son at the time perhaps was spied on and they have compromising materials on him?
Could be possible.
Just an idea, just a thought.
And that means that Joe's not in any position to do anything.
Biden's major political norm rips into Republicans overseas.
You know, okay, you know, Biden's slamming Republicans.
Media ignores his attack against Republicans.
And, you know, the Republican Party and the rise of nationalist faith.
Why is he trashing America on foreign soil?
First of all, we're back to the apologize for America tour.
You know, it's just scary.
And the thing that nobody really has touched on, you know, here's tough guy Joe calling Putin a murderer, now calls him a worthy adversary because Joe's afraid of Vladimir and Vladimir knows it.
And then Joe, you know, Vladimir throws out this: okay, you give us, well, we'll hand over people that are committing cyber crimes against America when you hand over Americans doing the same thing to us and we can have a prisoner swap.
That's a great idea until Joe's staff gets involved.
No, Joe, don't say it.
Oh, don't talk, Joe.
Be quiet.
Stick to the script.
They didn't anticipate that question.
But Joe's going to go.
The reason he can't go out there is he's not going to do all of the things that he says that he, when he comes out, I confronted Vladimir over ABCDE.
I guarantee you it didn't happen because Joe's not capable of it.
Now, there might be other people in the room that do it for him, but that's to be seen.
You know, he's bright, he's tough, a worthy adversary.
What happened to the killer?
A murderer.
Why don't you call him for what he is?
You know, the great irony is this false narrative perception.
Putin's puppet, Donald Trump.
No, it wasn't Donald Trump.
Donald Trump was the guy that was tough on Putin, just like he was tough on China.
Nobody had ever stood up to China the way Donald Trump did.
And, you know, you aren't delivering, you know, cargo planes of cash to the Iranian mullahs either.
And what did he give North Korea?
Time.
That's it.
Time.
And was able to forge a relationship with Kim Jong-un.
Ah, so we don't have a nuclear exchange.
Not a bad idea.
Was it worth it?
Yeah.
Did he give up anything?
No.
Did he pay for anything?
No.
They met, they talked.
That was it.
Which is better for everybody.
I don't have a problem with somebody from a position of strength talking.
I do have a problem with somebody from a position of weakness.
I mean, he laughs and he shuts down for 10 seconds when asked about Vladimir Putin.
I don't get it.
How do you confuse Libya and Syria three times in less than 90 seconds?
You know, this chaos, these brain freezes in the middle of a press conference, it's humiliating.
By nearly a two-to-one margin, voters disagree with Biden's claim that China, that climate change is America's greatest national security threat.
Who's the one-third that does believe it?
Because they're pretty stupid, not that smart.
You know, there's a Jonathan Tobin writing in the New York Post, bumbling Biden's G7 NATO summit performance only boosts our foes in Europe.
It's been smiles and cheers for Joe and his first foreign tour rolling out foreign policy, focused on China.
For the most part, European leaders, they're just playing along and with the script.
Sure, they're getting everything they want out of it.
They're not getting challenged to pay their fair share.
And it's creating damaging controversies.
And, you know, this agenda is not actually good for Europe and reaffirming traditional alliances.
China is a big problem.
Nobody seems worldwide willing, except the only one that was willing, was Donald Trump to confront China.
They're avoiding the summit presser with joint presser with Putin because, you know, now they're saying, oh, well, it seemed that Putin got the better of Mr. Trump in Helsinki.
That's not why.
That never happened.
Putin tells Biden, don't be mad at the mirror if you're ugly, and accuses the U.S. of targeting Americans in a free speech attack.
He's lecturing America before they even walk into the room.
It's just a disaster.
It's so bad for the country.
I mean, it's so obvious.
The media's not going to tell you the truth.
You know, for the European Union to block the G7, even the condemnation of China for their slave labor, they wouldn't even attack that.
That's how weak as an organization they are.
There's nothing here that's good for the United States.
That was when Donald Trump was there four years ago, and he told them that they've got to hold their own, pull their own weight here and pay their fair share.
You know, I'm watching and reading all these stories about, you know, Biden's Putin prep, you know, meeting with people here and there.
It doesn't trying to understand the former KGB mindset.
It's like a joke.
This isn't even funny.
I don't think Putin's spending a lot of time prepping on Joe Biden, except strategizing how he can embarrass him without doing a joint presser because Joe's not capable of handling it.
And, you know, the only thing that anybody likes about what happened at the G7 is this, that America's not standing up for America and that they like.
That America is going to pay and that they like.
Because this whole globalist idea that America is going to pay for all of this, you know, they're praising him because Joe's good for them, for their bottom lines, and no other reason.
And Tom Cotton is right.
NATO realizing China's a challenge.
Yeah, that's hardly good enough in terms of dealing with the real threat that China represents today.
And you've got NATO, a statement that is as soft as you could ever have on China.
And the biggest concern of everybody in the G7 ought to be China and Russia working with the Iranians in that unholy emerging alliance.
But Joe's not capable of leading the G7.
He's not capable of leading NATO into a position of strength.
And he's too busy criticizing Republican leadership.
And the leadership of the Republican Party is fractured.
Joe, your party's fractured.
You, Nancy, Chuck, you can't even take on the squad because you're so afraid that they'll topple Nancy Pelosi and that Chucky will get a primary from AOC.
It's just such a different time and it's so sad.
And the media will praise Joe Biden because they're all globalists too.
One united socialist utopia world that they all want, apparently.
We'll continue.
Imagine if Vladimir Putin and Joe are meeting together in their little summit, and Joe has another brain fart like he had at the G7 and just goes dark, just quiet.
I mean, if you're Vladimir Putin and you're the Russians, what are you thinking at that moment?
You know, because they, look, we have to just admit a simple truth here is these are enemy countries.
They're hostile regimes.
They're hostile to the U.S.
And so they study American presidents.
Anybody in intelligence will tell you.
They watch everything that we do.
They monitor everything that's happening here.
They study presidents.
And it's very obvious to me that they see exactly what we see with Joe Biden.
And they saw something in Donald Trump they didn't want to mess with.
They saw somebody that was unpredictable, that meant what he said, that would follow through, and that would fight like hell.
That's what they saw.
And there is a actually, there's a healthy respect for people that they view or deem as strong.
There's a healthy disrespect when they see people as weak.
So you got that happening.
New poll is out showing voters clearly concerned that inflation is out of control and they're blaming Biden for it, which he deserves.
39% saying he is responsible for inflation.
And Republicans were the most likely group to blame Biden, but it's a divided country.
That doesn't surprise anybody.
But even independent voters, they're blaming Biden also for this inflation.
Retail sales, new numbers out today with the price of everything going through the roof.
Consumers can't afford to buy as much as they did just a few months ago when Donald Trump was president.
Anyway, the monthly sales, retailers down 1.3% in May, according to the Census Bureau.
Much of the decline in retail sales come from sectors and industries that had led the start of the recovery and sales of building materials, garden equipment, that's down 5.9%.
One of the reasons is what cost you $2,000 at this time last year for lumber is now costing you $10,000 or $11,000.
And if you can even get the material, I was talking to a guy that's in the landscape and pool business says, I can't even build a pool if I wanted to build a pool because I can't get the material to build a pool.
Said it's just, it's not available.
And when it is available, it's so cost-prohibitive.
The price of crude oil.
Now, what did I say?
Supply and demand crisscross dictate price, right?
America becomes energy independent for the first time in 75 years under Donald Trump.
All right.
So we're paying $2 a gallon for gasoline.
Now we're paying at least on average $1.10, $1.15 more.
In some places, a lot more.
California, nearly $5 a gallon in some places.
New York, over $4 a gallon in many places.
And, you know, the national price of a gasoline is up 57% from when Joe Biden took office.
National average gas continued inch higher.
Oil prices now are up to a record $71.50 a barrel, its highest price since October of 2018.
And Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, topped $73 a barrel.
Okay.
Crude oil prices have been rising steadily.
As of Monday, U.S. crude oil is about $23 a barrel more expensive than it was when Joe Biden took office, $23 a barrel more.
So it makes sense that, and again, the ripple effect of that is not just you filling up your tank, it's also heating and cooling your home.
And it's also everything you buy in every store that you shop at costs more because it costs more to get it there.
Another problem emerging in the new economy is people have had it.
They don't want to go back to the office and people are quitting their jobs.
In part, they're incentivized in many cases by the added unemployment benefits, et cetera.
What's called a quit rate hit a record of 2.7% in April.
Private workers quitting at a record 3.1%.
And, you know, that's all part of the Bureau of Labor statistics, job openings, turnover.
People are just quitting.
Wall Street Journal has a piece about this.
Forget about going back to the office.
People, they're not going back to the office.
They're going to stay home and they're going to get their check.
In April, the share of U.S. workers leaving jobs, 2.7%, which is a massive jump, the highest level since 2000.
And the shift by Americans into new jobs and careers, prompting employers to raise wages, offer promotions, that's also going to increase the price of goods and services that we all pay for.
So all of this is going to have an impact that you're going to pay more.
Now, remember, Joe's been claiming, you know, if you're not going to pay one more penny, if you make under $400,000 a year, no, it's actually under $200,000 a year.
It's $400,000 a year per couple.
That's why they're pushing, you know, it actually is one of the most outrageous things that nobody will ever care about because you're not a billionaire.
But you should care about one's privacy rights and the idea that pro-Republic, Publico, whatever it is, you know, was able to somehow get a hold of some of the wealthiest individuals in the country.
They measured their net worth growth according to Forbes, which is usually an estimate.
And then they compared the amount of money that they paid in taxes.
Now, when you actually look at why, why do billionaires not pay that much money in taxes?
There's actually a good reason for it that is legal.
And what this is all about more than anything else is another way to confiscate people's monies.
And Tom Swazi, Long Island congressman, dope that he is, is pushing this idea of a wealth tax.
And that is that, oh, well, because they're not paying money in taxes.
Well, if you buy money, if you buy stocks and you buy property and you invest in businesses and you don't sell your shares and you hold on to your property and you hold on to your businesses, so at any given time, you can get what you think that the property is worth, what you think the stock is worth.
Okay, on a given day, a stock is worth X. On a given day, Y, it's worth another price.
Or property, you can get an appraisal.
It's going to say that your property is worth X number of dollars.
And then when you actually go to sell it, that's a whole different reality.
Because maybe on paper, it's worth, you know, $100 million.
But when you go to sell it, maybe you can only sell it for $60 because that's what the market will bear.
You just don't know.
So it's an estimate.
But they want to take the higher estimate.
Then they want to go in and say, okay, money that you would pay taxes on down the road when you sell your stock, when you sell your property, when whatever investment that you have, that's when you pay the taxes that the government set up in their system.
See, they want as many bites at the apple as possible.
You know, that's why, okay, so you pay taxes on income, the income comes in, or you get capital gains, you pay capital gains, but that's money usually that's already been taxed, the money that you're actually able to keep.
Then you put that money at risk.
And if you're successful and you make a profit, stocks, property, whatever, then they want another piece, another bite at the apple.
And then when you die, they want another bite at the apple.
Now in the interim, they want a fourth bite at the apple, which would be, well, we're going to estimate what your wealth is.
And depending if we define your net worth as rich, we're going to take, you know, millions and millions of dollars away.
I mean, it's really scary, to be honest with you.
By the way, this issue of shortage of workers is real.
In Denver, they have a lifeguard shortage that has led to shorter pool hours and closing down of pools because you don't have anybody to watch people.
U.S. Chamber CEO Suzanne Clark calls the worker shortage just tragic.
Gas prices jump again as crude oil hits the highest price in nearly three years, and that's nationwide.
Half of pandemic unemployment money from the past year, we find out now has been stolen.
The bulk of it is in foreign hands, according to a report.
How does that make you feel?
$400 billion in unemployment claims were likely stolen via fraud over the past year.
Bulk of the money has come from crime syndicates in China, Russia, and Nigeria.
Wonder if Joe is going to bring that up with Vladimir.
Now, Americans, one indication that they're worried about their finances, they're keeping their cars longer as vehicle age now has hit 12 years and cars are remaining in service longer.
Now, you could argue it's the quality of the car and the way that it's built, but as they stay on longer, auto manufacturers, you know, they're not selling new cars.
And the price of older cars, used cars now, are up about 30% nationwide, on top of the lumber being up, on top of everything that you buy in every store being up.
I mean, none of this is good for anybody.
All this is just bad economics.
And, you know, and I'm telling you, you got to pay attention.
Watch now that Joe, you know, everybody at the G7 loves Joe because Joe's going to pay for everything.
And he's not going to challenge countries to pay their fair share.
Joe gives Vladimir the waiver to build his pipeline so he can provide the lifeblood of our Western European allies the energy they need to run their businesses and keep their lights on.
Okay, that makes them more dependent on Russia.
That draws them closer to Russia.
And meanwhile, we end up putting the burden and the bill for the NATO alliance, which supposedly in part was designed to protect Western European countries from Russia.
Does that make any sense?
Making Putin rich again and making Russia rich again.
No, it doesn't make sense.
You know, anybody paying attention to the Chinese nuclear plant that leaked, leaking near 126 million people, and that it's a possible disaster, according to initial reports, a French nuclear company announcing that they are supporting efforts to resolve this, quote, performance issue of this nuclear power plant in China.
It's in a heavily populated area, raising concerns about radiation leaks and nuclear leak.
And the Chinese now going to shut the world out again.
We're trying to now assess the damage at this nuclear power facility in China.
China didn't let the world in with the Wuhan virus, which is another sore point.
By the way, I got to give credit to, what's his name?
Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart said, yeah, this is not a conspiracy.
Now, if Jon Stewart, I guess he was on Colbert last night, you know who does a funny Biden is Dana Carvey.
He was on last night and I saw it online.
Anyway, so Jon Stewart said, yeah, the Wuhan lab leak theory is real.
And how could it not be?
Now we have video of bats inside the Wuhan virology lab.
We knew that they studied coronaviruses.
We knew that they were involved in gain of function research.
All of this was known, but the media united defined it as a conspiracy theory.
If Jon Stewart said this a year ago, he would have been called a conspiracy theorist.
Thanks.
I don't know what's happening.
We owe a great debt of gratitude to science.
Science has in many ways helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science.
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean like perhaps there's a chance that this was created in a lab?
There's an investigation.
A chance?
Well, I have to say that.
Oh my God.
There's evidence.
I'd love to hear it.
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China.
What do we do?
Oh, you know who we could ask?
The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.
The disease is the same name as the lab.
That's just a little too weird.
don't you think?
And then they ask those scientists, they're like, how did this, so wait a minute.
You work at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab.
How did this happen?
And they're like, a pangolin kissed a turtle.
And you're like, no, the name of your lab.
If you look at the name, look at the name.
Can I let me see your business card?
Show me your business card.
Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan.
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.
How did that happen?
Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it sneezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus.
I mean, it's just hilarious.
That was very funny.
It's obvious.
We have video of live bats in the Wuhan lab.
These wet markets.
It's a conspiracy.
It's a debunk conspiracy theory.
Cleveland Clinic, coronavirus survivors show lasting immunity against the virus.
I guess that crazy old Ram Paul was right.
Can you believe it?
All right, we got a lot of ground to cover.
800-941-Shone.
By the way, we're going to take a look at what's happening in California, Caitlin Jenner.
California has a chance with this recall, but Gavin Newsom is about to write a check to over 60% of the population of California.
Hmm.
That doesn't sound that ethical to me.
Hour two, Sean Hannity show, toll free are numbers 800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program?
So we're watching what's going on out in California.
California has the highest state income taxes in the entire country, although New York is now putting forth proposals, hoping to beat California as the number one, you know, most taxed state in the entire country, which they might actually pull off at some point.
But right now, California is number one.
You have all of these issues involving Gavin Newsom.
So the recall should take place sometime in the early fall.
And in California, the way the system works is that the first question voters will be asked is, do you vote to recall Gavin Newsom?
And it's yes or no.
Now, if you vote yes, you want to recall him.
Well, then you move to question two.
Question two is a list of people that you would like to replace Gavin Newsom as governor.
One of those names, as a matter of fact, the most prominent, most recognizable name so far on the ballot is Caitlin Jenner, gubernatorial candidate for the state of California.
And she's here with us to talk about her vision.
Welcome back to the program.
It's been a long time since you've been on radio.
How are you?
I am doing fine.
Considering I'm running as a, what I call an inclusive Republican in the bluest of blue states, but you know what?
I'm a disruptor.
We've got to change what's happening.
We are losing this state faster.
I mean, under Gavin Newsom's reign, faster than you can imagine, Sean.
18,000 companies have left.
People have left.
We've lost a congressional sequence.
There's less people living in this state.
I mean, the list goes on and on.
And now we're coming up today, Sean, and give you an update on what's happening in California.
Today, we're supposed to reopen the state, but it's kind of a fake reopening.
A few months back, when it was just rumored that I was going to put together a group to take a run for governor, the next day, it was all over the media.
The next day, Gavin Newsom has a press conference and says the state is going to reopen on the 15th of June.
Today is the 15th of June.
Unfortunately, it's not really.
It's more of a fake reopening.
OSHA, which is another bloated bureaucracy here in California, decided that they were going to advise Gavin Newsom not to get rid of the state of emergency in the state, giving Gavin Newsom as much power as he needs to reopen the state.
Honestly, right now, the state is not really reopening.
There are phase mass mandates that are going to be less, but still, the state is not going to totally reopen.
And him keeping the state of emergency in place, honestly, Sean, I'm wondering in the fall, is he going to go in with the teachers' union and keep the schools closed?
You know, the schools in Florida.
Yeah.
Yeah, the schools in Florida have been open now in-person learning since August.
That's almost a full year, 10 months now.
Yeah, it is.
And I wonder if he's going to do it because he is, you know, so close with the teachers' union.
It is just, it's horrible.
In fact, the biggest teachers' union last week just endorsed him.
But this is what we're dealing with in California.
Actually, next week, he says he's going to have a press conference and we're going to get vaccine passports.
Isn't that exciting?
Well, no, he's let me let me play with exactly what he said because he's claiming they're not passports.
He says, but they are electronic versions of vaccine cards that are coming school, but it's not a passport.
This is actually what he said at the press conference.
We'll be doing something that provides you the opportunity, we'll announce this later this week, to have an electronic version of your paper version of vaccination.
It's not a passport.
It's not a requirement.
It's just the ability now to have an electronic version of that paper version.
What I'm having a hard time understanding, didn't they tell everybody, Caitlin, that if you get the vaccine, that you're safe and that you're protected from people if they choose not to get the vaccine, you're not at risk if you get the vaccine.
Isn't that what they told us?
Because that's what I recall being told.
Honestly, I did it.
I got vaccinated about a month ago.
And I did it one because honestly, I was, you know, I travel a lot.
I'm around a lot of people.
I'm older.
It's just like, for me, it was the smart thing to do.
My mother, who's 95, got vaccinated.
Okay.
After my mom got it and she was fine, I thought, you know what?
I'm going to be fine.
Let's just do it.
It's the right thing to do.
I would advise people, you know, if they think they're vulnerable at all, to get the vaccine, okay?
It's your choice.
But I also respect individual freedoms.
I don't want Gavin Newsom telling us we have to get vaccinated.
That is your decision to make.
Your health records, your decision to make.
Californians are smart.
They know what's going on out there.
No, I agree with you on the freedom part.
Look, a lot of people have tried to pressure me into telling people what they should do medically.
I don't know anything about anybody's personal medical condition.
I'm not a doctor.
I urge people to take it seriously, to do a lot of research on the three different vaccines.
I urge them to talk to their doctor, doctors, medical professionals they trust.
And based on what their own health background is, they've got to make a decision.
And that's between them and their doctor.
It should be made privately.
I don't think you need to tell everybody.
You're shamed into telling everybody what your status is, which is ridiculous.
Let me ask a broader question here, though.
So I think the hardest challenge for the recall, you need 50% of voters in California on question one to vote Gavin out.
Actually, if the vote were held today, I would argue it's going to be close.
But we now know that Gavin announced that he's giving checks to two-thirds of the people that live in California, including illegal immigrants.
Is that true?
That is true.
Yes, he's trying to buy the election.
It's just horrible to watch what's happening in this state.
You know, we have the elites.
What I'm going to do, starting in about a week, week and a half, is I got a bus.
I'm going to start going and talking to the people.
I'm going to take three weeks.
I'm going to travel all over the state, go to as many small towns and talk to the people.
That's going to be, I mean, it's the people of California that are going to change this thing, that are going to make a difference.
We have to stop the socialist agenda over the last 30 years that's been going on in Sacramento, thinking they control us.
They're totally out of touch out there.
I mean, I am for securing the wall in Southern California.
When I become governor, first thing I'm going to do, you know what?
We're spending billions right now, Sean, on a high-speed rail to absolutely nowhere.
Okay?
We don't need high-speed rail.
Let's take that money.
Let's secure our borders.
Would you get rid of California's sanctuary state status?
I would do everything to try to get rid of sanctuary state status.
Absolutely.
I want a sanctuary state for small businesses.
I want small businesses to come into our state because that's the backbone of our state.
Okay.
Here's the deal.
If you come into this state illegally, in fact, as you know, just what, two weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0.
When was the last time you saw a unanimous decision in the Supreme Court?
9-0.
That if you come into this country under the TAPS program, the Temporary Protected Status Program, and you're in this country and come into this country illegally, you cannot become a citizen.
I agree with that 100%.
I'm glad the court system is backing us on this.
Now, on the other hand, if you're arrested in this state and you're here illegally, you're gone, okay?
Out with the bad, in with the good.
In California, we have, they say 2 million, but I guarantee you there's more than 2 million people that are in this state illegally, but have been here for years and years and years.
They are the backbone of our economy.
They do tremendous things.
They're wonderful people.
They should get protected status so they can stay in this state.
And that's real important to me.
I mean, I have met so many that these are just wonderful people that have been such a great part of our heritage here and our economy that they need to stay.
And we need to make sure that we protect them.
But out with the bad.
If you're here illegally, out with the bad.
And we've got to clean up our state.
We have to finish the wall.
We have to do what's right for California.
I look at the state.
And this is an amazing thing.
When I was out in California interviewing you as you had just made your announcement.
And we go back a long way.
I've known you for many, many years.
One funny story, I like to tell the story.
I don't know if you like to tell the story, but it was, you know, when you did that big interview with Diane Sawyer and you went into all the details about your personal life.
And I was talking about it the next day on this radio program and you called me off air.
And then you told me, I'll let you take the story from here.
But I mean, I just remember I was dying laughing because you told me, yeah, you know what shocked Diane Sawyer the most?
And I'll let you take it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was difficult, more difficult to come out as a Republican than it is to come out as being trans, especially in this state.
But you know what, Sean?
I haven't gotten any backlash for that.
Honestly, that was a big concern.
I thought, how are people going to treat me?
Because I am part of the LGBT community.
I am trans.
But like last night, I was down in San Diego talking to, I don't know, three or four hundred Republicans.
And honestly, the issue never even came up.
It was more like, I'm going to fight for this state.
I want to do what's right for this state.
Whether you're, you know, Californians are very open-minded.
And the trans issue really has not come up.
And I honestly, I think that's a good thing.
I think on a lot of these issues, we have so turned the corner.
And by the way, when you get to this thing, I am not, for the state of California in public schools, want to teach critical race theory.
That is just, I want American history.
And I want kids to grow up knowing that they are growing up in the greatest country in the world with freedoms, you know, beyond any other country in the world.
And teaching them to be racist at a young age in the public schools, to be honest with you, I'm going to fight for that thing.
There's a similar phenomenon happening in other states like California, where I'm in New York, but I'm making plans to get out, right?
Like so many other people.
But for the first time in California history, you told me a story when I was out there with you.
For the first time in California history, they have now lost population.
They had always gained population in terms of the last 10 years in the census, losing a congressional seat even.
And, you know, you talked about many of your friends have just packed their bags and left and why they're leaving and why you refused to leave and how you first were drawn to California, however many years ago.
Yeah, I came here in 1973, everything I owned in the back seat of a 1963 VW bug.
I drove from Iowa where I just graduated from college.
I came here and I went, I remember what the sign looked like when I entered California.
I'd never been to California.
I just knew it was the golden state.
This is like where dreams come true.
And I moved to San Jose because there were great athletes that was living there four years later, so proud, brought the gold medal back to the United States, brought it back to California.
And since then, I've watched this state just decline, decline, decline.
And It's not because of our natural resources.
They're not leaving because of the beaches.
They're not leaving because of Yosemite.
They're leaving for one reason and one reason only, and that is overbearing, overburdened, over-taxed, over-regulated government.
I talked to one of the heads of the CEO of one of the largest corporations that has left the state, and I just asked him, why did you leave?
And he said, you know what?
It's just not a good place to do business anymore.
That is a shame.
It shouldn't be like that.
It's all because of overreach of the government.
And honestly, it has to stop.
We have to take a more conservative approach.
I am what I call an inclusive Republican.
I'm always been, and I'm proud to be on the Republican side.
But why?
Because of my economic values.
I want a more friendly business environment.
I realize, as governor, I cannot just change taxes and lower taxes.
That's a process.
But I can't stop everything.
Look, there's a lot, a lot to get to.
I don't want the best.
The only thing I would say to the people in California, and we have to wrap up the interview because I'm just running out of time, but is this your chance to turn the state around?
I mean, when it costs $2,500 to rent a U-Haul to leave California and go to Texas, but if you're renting that same U-Haul and moving to California, it's like $300 or $400.
That tells you everything you need to know.
And people are leaving for all the reasons that you're mentioning.
But Caitlin, we'll have you back again.
Great to catch up as always.
We're watching this very closely.
Question one is going to be pivotal, and that is the people of California can recall him.
And we'll stay in touch throughout the rest.
Yeah, I'm wrapping this thing up.
Now I'm in a Twitter war with Jimmy Kimball.
Yes.
I know you would like that.
Yeah, I had my own war way back in the day.
So people should go to your Twitter account because it was pretty damn funny.
Anyway, Caitlin Jenner, thanks.
We're watching this very closely.
Appreciate you being with us.
800-941, Sean, our number.
25 to the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
Man, so much to get to.
So much to talk about.
We're going to debut Joe's Sippy Cup.
If you ever heard the song by Toby Keith, Red Solo Cup, Joe Paggs will join us later in the program.
We'll debut it.
He cracks me up.
You know what I love about, you know, when I make a request for a song, all I do is say, what do you think about Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup and making it Joe's Sippy Cup?
And like, I'll write Linda.
Linda writes Joe Paggs, and Joe Paggs has it the next day every time.
I mean, he's amazing, and he's very good at it, and he's a great singer, and I think you're going to like this version, which is a lot.
And I like Toby Keith's version.
It's actually a fun, fun, you know, it's like a college drinking song, if you really want to know what it is.
This is a little different in Joe's case with a little warm milky.
Mike in Connecticut, Mike is apparently a fireman.
Mike, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, how are you doing, Sean?
I'm good.
Glad you called.
Red Solo Cup, you fill me up.
I'm sorry.
Well, you know, listen, everybody knows that song.
Just like everybody can sing Sweet Caroline.
Good times never seem so good.
So good.
Absolutely.
True American.
No, I know you sometimes talk about the unions, especially the teacher unions, and I agree with you 100% that they're criminal.
But when you talk about, you know, especially some of the bigger city unions like New York, New Jersey, they really give us a bad name.
And, you know, when you see the unions are voting in certain directions when it comes to their PACs, the membership has no control over that.
That's something that's completely funded outside of normal union dudes.
And I would ask you to fish around on Facebook and see how many Pro-Trump, pro-conservative pages there are for union members that are against what most unions are doing.
You know, it's really rough for rank and file union guys.
Imagine, for example, you're working in the energy sector and your union supports, you know, SIPICUP, and SIPICUP now eliminates high-paying career jobs in the energy sector, moves America away from energy independence.
I mean, these are very, very high-paying, skill-specific jobs that don't translate well oftentimes into other fields.
And it's not that there aren't jobs available, but these jobs are paying people $100, $150,000, $200,000 a year.
This is real money.
This is a real profession, a real career.
And now these guys, with the stroke of a pen, they're out of work.
And I'm like, okay, why did your union support, take your money and support Joe Biden?
I'd be pissed off.
Families are killed, and you'll never get that experience back because by the time it comes back around, we're light years behind in that field.
Yeah, I mean, it's just now you're a fireman, and I'm guessing most firemen I know are conservative.
Most cops I know are conservative.
Most guys that I know that work in the energy sector are conservative.
But unfortunately, our voice isn't conservative.
But yes, you're right.
You're right.
The majority are conservative, but the voice isn't.
Yeah, I mean, you know, the bottom line for me, it's very simple.
And that is that these unions need to stop wasting their rank and file dollars on people that don't support rank and file jobs.
The best jobs president we've had in the modern era has been Donald Trump.
Absolutely.
I've been on the job for almost 23 years.
And listen, I'm not saying I would contribute to the PAC.
So that's the portion that you voluntarily contribute to that goes to political action.
I would contribute to it if we voted on policy.
But it's policy after party.
So they go strictly party line and then whatever in that party line is best for the union.
And it's horrendous.
It hurts us every time.
Listen, I'm just going to tell you something.
Honestly, it does hurt you every single time.
Now, you've been in this business long enough.
I mean, you have tenure.
You're locked in.
Your pension's locked in.
How many more years do you think you're going to serve as a fireman?
Well, I have to be, I've got four more until I hit medical, and then I'm out.
I'm done.
So it's 30 years before you get full medical?
No, I have to be 55.
I got it.
Okay.
So you went in young.
Actually, I went in late.
I went in 29, but yeah, so I'll have 26 years and then I have to get out of New England.
I got you.
But you know what?
Think of it this way.
Then you get to, you know, you're young.
You got all your medical.
You got your pension.
You're good to go.
And then you can pursue whatever other dreams you have in life.
You're still young enough to do a whole bunch of other stuff.
Yeah, but you know what, Sean, it's an awesome job.
You know, we do a great thing.
It can be far better than what it is, but it's just getting uglier and uglier every year.
No, I get it.
I recently interviewed a fireman, and I'm doing a special for Fox Nation.
I don't want to get too deep into it right now, but he was a fireman, and he had a floor collapse on him, 60% of his body, deep burns, right?
And so he needed a face transplant.
And I interviewed him after he successfully had it done.
And it was such an incredible story, touching beyond words.
I mean, you know, here's a handsome young man and his face was basically burned off.
I mean, it just, and then he told the stories about how kids would see him and react and the emotional impact that has on them.
I know we take it for granted that, okay, the firemen are going to run up the Twin Towers and when everyone else is running in the other direction, they'll run to save people's lives.
And those guys going up that day, they probably had a good idea.
This may be the last day.
We know they thought that because many of them left messages for loved ones before they went in because they knew it was that dangerous.
But you think about where would we be without firemen or paramedics or policemen.
I know it's fashionable to bash the police.
Who are you going to call when it's two in the morning and people break into your house and want to harm you and your family?
Most people don't have a lot of people don't have the means of protecting themselves.
And the only line of defense they have is law enforcement.
It just is, I mean, these are incredible jobs.
And the great thing I know about firemen, policemen, teachers, those jobs in particular, physicians, nurses, these are people that they're not just professions, these are callings.
And often people dreamed about doing these jobs since they were little.
That's how much they love what they do, like it sounds like you do.
Anyway, Mike, you're a great American, my friend.
God bless you.
800-941-Sean.
Jana is next, Alabama.
Jana, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
Doing great.
You know, I just, it's difficult to comprehend daily the calamity that is President Biden.
It's like living in the Twilight Zone.
This man is an absolute embarrassment.
And it seems like the Democrats are just bent on poisoning our country and making us weak on the global stage.
And just it's difficult to listen to every day.
You know, it is the Twilight Zone.
I mean, I mean, you think of this 10-second pause and Biden is just out there.
I mean, it's so humiliating.
Did you see that moment?
Yeah.
I mean, or see, you're going to introduce the South African president?
I already did, Joe.
Pay attention.
Keep up.
Keep your eyes open.
Or, you know, Joe Biden saying, Joe, pay attention.
I mean, this is so embarrassing.
I can't even believe it.
He is feeble-minded, and it's really scary.
I mean, if, you know, it's just difficult to comprehend that he is the president of our nation.
He's not up to the job.
And I'm just calling it as I see it.
He's not up to the job.
And it's unfortunate and it's embarrassing.
And he could say all he wants, America's back, America's back.
Basically, that means America's going to pay for everything.
And you guys all get a free ride.
Why wouldn't they want Joe Biden in office?
You know, Donald Trump went there four years ago and rocked their world and said, it's time for you to all start paying your fair share.
And you know what?
It would have been good if Joe kept that up because they need to pay their fair share.
They don't pay their fair share.
And we get stuck paying their bills.
And not only are we paying for NATO and not only are we getting ripped off on trade deals, now the very allies that we're aligned with in NATO and protecting from Russia mostly, they now are making Russia rich simultaneously by getting all their energy from Vladimir Putin because Joe signed a waiver allowing it to happen.
You can't make it up.
It's so stupid.
In their pocket.
It's just the polar opposite of what was happening with Trump.
It's like the Twilight Zone.
And it's like watching some twisted Mardi Gras parade where Biden's just throwing out programs and money to whoever.
And it's like he's not even in reality.
It's going to bottom out this country.
It's not good.
I'll tell you that, Channa.
Thanks for the call.
All right.
A lot of big news breaking.
By the way, at the top of the hour, Greg Jarrett and Adam Brandon will be joining us.
A lot to get to today, including, yeah, let's see, a woman from North Korea telling us she goes to an Ivy League school.
And guess what?
There's more indoctrination here than North Korea.
Not a good story.
Anyway, we'll get to that coming up at the top of the hour.
John, North Carolina, next, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, John?
How are you?
I'm doing fine.
How about yourself?
I'm good, sir.
Glad you called.
What I want to talk to you about is the job situation where people are not going to get jobs.
This is a prime opportunity for kids or even older adults that look for a job and can only find a fast food job because that's the only place hiring.
Now is the time for somebody to go out and get the job they want.
Not have to have, but they want.
With the unemployment, with all these employers actually saying, hey, we need workers.
At some point, the free money is going to disappear and everybody's going to rush to get a job and they're going to be back in the fast food instead of saying, hey, you know, I could have worked over here as a clerk at Walmart or I could have got a job here.
Now is the time.
If you want to work, now is the time to work.
And there are a lot of jobs, a lot of professions.
They're all looking for people.
And the reason they can't fill these jobs often is because they're making more money staying home because of the extra benefits that are no longer needed.
Look, for all intent and purposes here, we've got to face this reality.
COVID is over for those people that have decided to get vaccinated, those people with natural immunity, Cleveland Clinic study that I referred to last week.
It's now we can start living again.
And we were able to actually start living some time now, except most people just have been clinging to the old, fearful, draconian shutdown model.
That's gone.
And there shouldn't be extra unemployment benefits at this point when we're given 500 million doses out for free to the rest of the world of the vaccine.
They successfully told people, here's your chance.
If you want to fight back against corona and you feel that you're vulnerable, okay, you got three choices.
You got Moderna, you got Pfizer, you got J and J.
Now, if people decide not to, that's up to them.
But at this point, life has to go on here.
Another thing is so many people have gotten so used to working from home, they don't want to go back in the office anymore.
They'd rather start little businesses in their house, which I'm fine with too.
I've told my whole staff, I don't care if anybody comes in.
As long as the work gets done, I don't care.
But and with my, with people that work for me, everybody knows what their job is.
They all do their job.
And if they do it from home or they do it in the office, I don't really care.
I'm not a babysitter boss.
I don't want to tell people every second of every day what they need to do.
You know what your job is.
Come in, do a good job.
It's expected.
And, you know, you get hopefully a good bonus at the end of the year.
And a lot of these people are going to be, the benefits are going to run out.
There's going to be the rush.
And then they're going to be back in the same boat that they were in a job they didn't like when they could have gotten a better job.
Yeah, and I think it's a good admonition.
And by the way, it's a good for people that want the opportunity.
Now is the time.
I agree completely.
But I got a roll here, my friend.
John, good call.
North Carolina, 800-941, Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
You know, now we see this battle, this pushback states now, one after another, saying, no, we're not going along with critical race theory being taught in schools or, you know, the other institutional indoctrination of kids with values that contradict the values of parents.
I mean, it's now a big problem.
Woke curriculum.
It's actually a real word.
And it's getting worse than ever.
And parents are, you know, stuck in a rock in a hard place because they're like, okay, what do I do as a parent?
These are not my values.
You know, we've told you about the Tuttle Twins books.
I mean, they're great and they have them from toddler to teenager, but most people are just discovering it, even though millions have found it.
So last night, I told you the story about this yesterday.
We had on Hannity Yomi Park.
Now, she is a North Korean defector, and she went to Columbia University.
And when she came to the United States, she actually transferred from, after she was able to get out of North Korea, she got into China.
Unfortunately, her and her mom got dragged into the sex slave industry, and she was able to escape that, makes it to South Korea, is attending college, trying to advance her life, gets an opportunity to attend an Ivy League school, Columbia University.
And she speaks in great specificity and detail about what she experienced in schools in America that shocked her.
I mean, she's literally, she was born in North Korea, escaped at 13, sold into sex slavery in China, escaped after two years, went to school in South Korea, transfers to Columbia.
And she says in this interview that we had last night, and she said it to FoxNews.com, that I expected I was paying this fortune all this time, all this energy to learn how to think, but they're forcing you to think the way they want you to think.
She said in this interview, I realized, wow, this is insane.
I thought America was different, but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea.
I really started worrying.
And the similarities, including anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt, suffocating political correctness.
During an orientation, she was scolded by a university staff member.
She had the audacity to admit that she enjoyed classic literature like Jane Austen.
English, she says, is my third language.
I learned it as an adult, and I sometimes still say he or she by mistake.
And now they're going to ask me to call them they.
How do I incorporate this into my sentences?
It was utter chaos, she said.
It felt like the regression in civilization.
She even said this, even North Korea is not this nuts.
North Korea was pretty crazy, but not this crazy.
Her words, not mine.
And it's just a sad story that we hear over and over and over again.
I have a few cuts of her.
Here she says to me last night that indoctrination was as bad as North Korea.
And you think the indoctrination in the United States at our Ivy League institution, Columbia, is as bad or worse as the propaganda, anti-American hate that you heard in North Korea?
So when I was in North Korea, first thing that I learned was that Americans were bastards.
It was actually the one word.
At school when I was attending, they told me, actually, there's just a math problem saying there are four American bastards.
You kill two of them.
Then how many American bastards left to kill?
And as a child in North Korea, you have to say two American bastards.
And when I came to America, I fell in love with this country.
This is such a wonderful country.
I had never been accepted more than this country was.
And at Columbia University, literally every professor was saying that, you know, the problems that we have on today's world is because of white men, how they colonize Africa, they have colonized Asia, right?
That's how they mess up everything.
And they are the one who needs to be blamed.
And I couldn't believe that, am I sitting in North Korea's classroom or in America, actually?
I couldn't believe why people are hating their own people that much.
Here to discuss, debate, and how do we deal with all this?
Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, host of his own podcast now, The Brief.
Adam Brandom is with us, FreedomWorks president.
He wrote a book, A Republic, Not a Democracy.
By the way, just out today.
You know, Greg, you don't think it can happen here, but it's happening, and it's happening, and it's getting worse.
And for somebody from North Korea with her tragic background and life that she lived, comes to America, reaches, you know, an Ivy League institution to make this type of commentary should scare the hell out of everybody.
Yeah, I mean, she said they're brainwashing students at Columbia University.
She said, you know, the first thing you learn in class is safe space.
Every problem they explain to us, she said, is because of white men.
You know, this is the woke culture.
This is critical race theory, which is based on the fundamental premise of everybody should be judged by the color of their skin, which is anathema to the teachings, the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King.
That's not what civil rights progress was achieved for.
And these institutions are not teaching you how to think.
They're teaching you what to think.
And the what is what they think.
And, you know, I'm very happy that my daughter recently told Columbia University to take a hike.
She was accepted into the master's program.
She looked into Columbia and realized, hey, there's something wrong going on there, indoctrination.
And Yamoni Park's right.
You know, in many ways, it's like North Korea, maybe worse.
Well, I mean, it's that bad.
Adam, your take on this.
Well, again, I think this starts not in college, but it starts when people are young.
I mean, unfortunately, this indoctrination is happening with our kids as early as kindergarten or even pre-kindergarten right now.
The optimism that I see is this year I've seen a surge of people getting involved like I've never seen before.
And people are realizing that school boards are elected positions and they are accountable to their voters.
And I am seeing activists turning up at school board meetings unlike at any other time in my career and demanding that things like critical race theory gets removed.
This is actually going to be one of the positive effects of COVID.
Our people are realizing how much more power they have in the classroom.
So in the long run, I'm optimistic.
I'm seeing people win on school board races, throwing critical race theory out.
Just happened in Dallas.
I'm seeing it happen across the country.
Talk about critical race theory and explain in practicality what it is and why states and school districts are banning it left and right.
So in the simplest forms, most of us believe that the base theory behind America is this concept of liberty that the founding fathers laid out.
And American history is an evolution of trying to make a more perfect union.
Critical race theory says, no, racism is the founding U.S. value.
Every single thing you look at goes back to race and racism.
So in that sense, if you're not going to be racist, it's not enough to be about Chasing Martin Luther King's dream of judge me by my content.
You have to be anti-racist.
And who tells you how to be anti-racist?
Well, these people pushing critical race theory.
And it changes the way you instruct kids.
And across the country, parents are saying enough is enough, and they're supporting new school boards that are ripping this out of the classroom.
And if we don't do it, it'll be one of the most infectious diseases that infects our kids' minds.
And your take on it, Greg Jarrett.
I agree 100%.
In fact, I'm looking forward to reading Adam's book.
A Republic, Not a Democracy, it's incredibly relevant in this day and age where the woke culture, if you do not conform, if you do not abide, you will be mocked, ridiculed, demeaned.
You'll be banished.
You'll be canceled.
You'll be censored.
You'll be punished.
And that's, you know, that's not what schools and democracies are all about.
This is a venue as a country, and our classrooms are a venue for the free exchange of ideas and information.
However wrong they may be at times, however controversial they may be at times.
But, you know, we're taught to express ourselves.
We're taught to think, but that is now gone inside Americans' classrooms, and it's got to change.
Well, if it doesn't, then, you know, what's the point?
You know, the problem that we have when you dig a little deeper, Adam, is that most parents pay all this money in taxes.
They don't have the spare income to send their kids to a private school.
It's very expensive.
Now, more and more people are picking homeschooling as an option.
Many other people are creating even their own education cooperatives where they teach kids things that they're not going to learn in a public school.
This is why Republicans, I think, should champion at every corner school choice because parents love it.
And I think everybody, the only people that don't support it are teachers' unions and Democrats, because the Democrats want all the money that the teachers' unions give them in every election cycle.
And that's the only reason we pay more per capita per student than any other industrialized country, becoming 40th in proficiency and reading and math.
So the question now is, there really is no option because that money is going to be spent.
It is already baked in, if you will, into property taxes, for example.
And then the parents have no say, and then they don't have the option, the disposable income to choose something else.
So what else?
What are they then to do as parents short of, I guess, teaching kids themselves, which is impossible because you need to take off work?
Well, that's true.
Now, the good news is, is around the kitchen table in the evenings and on weekends, parents have another opportunity.
But to the point, though, about in-school, during COVID, I think you saw this revolution where people were almost scared of the teacher.
The teacher controls the grade, and your kid needs that grade, so you don't want to rock the boat.
With this kind of pause that you had in school instruction, I think parents are a little bit more empowered to rock the boat and start getting a little bit more involved.
Again, to me, this comes down to school boards.
How many people have voted in their last school board election?
How many people have ever attended a school board meeting?
You don't need money to attend a school board meeting, and you certainly don't need money to go and vote in a school board election.
But I think it's time if you are concerned, those parents need to start binding together in those districts.
And if 30 or 20 of them show up, even five show up at a school board meeting, that has an impact.
And that is, I think, the base of a revolution that's spreading across the country when it comes to educating our kids.
It really is that bad.
Greg Jarrett, I guess we're lucky because our kids are getting out of school now.
So, right?
It's better.
Yeah, I suppose.
I guess that just means we're getting older.
But you know what?
It's changed a lot.
I mean, I thought it was a big deal when one science teacher, my son's grammar school, wanted to show Earth in the balance.
I'm like, that's not a good idea.
I'm not that interested in Earth in the Balance because the guy that put that movie together is a nut.
Yeah, the teacher wasn't that fond of me.
Yeah, but I mean, this sort of stuff is creeping into classrooms everywhere.
And it's not just something that's incredibly new.
I recall just a few years ago when one of my daughters was in high school, the civics teacher teaching history, and they were covering contemporary elections.
And there was a big stand-up of Barack Obama in the classroom.
And there was essentially no reference to Donald Trump.
There was a big cutout of Hillary Clinton, no reference to any Republican.
And so the indoctrination has been happening slowly but surely and progressing for several years.
Yeah, it's getting bad.
Victor is in New York.
Victor, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
I just want to talk about my encounters with critical race theory in the classroom.
I'm a junior in high school, and recently my teacher posted some material, some resources to our Google Classroom in which books by Ibram X. Kendi, books like How to Be an Anti-Racist, White Fragility, these were of the topic and resources pushed.
And I reached out to her and I offered her an alternating viewpoint respectfully through email.
And when I did that, I was met with hostility and told that that wasn't allowed and she was okay with what she posted.
I've always sought out to be respectful to anyone who I disagree with.
It's not in my nature to argue with anyone disrespectfully.
So I very politely tried to reach out to her and let her know that there's another side to this.
And I was kind of shut down.
And it just kind of is annoying because a lot of these students, they don't have the resources to see the other side.
And so they're being taught, like you said, what to think, not how to think.
So, I mean, do you notice it?
Do you spot it in your class every day?
Absolutely.
I've had issues with this teacher over the course of the course of the whole school year.
And every time, I've tried to raise my hand, be respectful as possible.
And every time, there have been instances where I've been met with screaming and other kids in the other kids in the class will pipe up and take my teacher's side and they'll actually gang up on me.
And it's kind of frustrating to me because I seek out to be respectful and stuff like this and just offer another viewpoint just so people have that option out there.
But it never gets through.
Appreciate it.
Listen, I'm glad that you're, you know, once you see it and you hear it, that in and of itself is the antidote to it.
And you don't really have to worry.
And if you play the game and feedback and regurgitate back what they want you to say, that's fine too, to get the grade you need to get to the next level of whatever your dream happens to be.
But it's sad that it is so institutionalized everywhere.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break, right back.
Seeing government
waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
So I want to go back and I mean, when you see it, I mean, it's just like, what is going on here?
And that's Joe Biden being asked about Vladimir Putin.
And in the middle of trying to give an answer, he just goes, he goes dark.
It's like, count 1, 1,000, 2, 1,000, 3, 1,000.
You know, it's 10 straight seconds of Joe saying nothing, not responding, just standing there in a fog.
I mean, you know, you couple that with mixing up Syria, Libya three times in 90 seconds and telling Prime Minister Boris Johnson that he needs to introduce the South African president that he just introduced in front of Joe.
I mean, it's so embarrassing.
The reason he's not holding a joint presser with Putin is because they've already written what he's going to tell us after the meeting with Putin before they ever left Washington, D.C.
And they don't want Putin to embarrass him and saying, we didn't talk about that.
That's not at all what I recall just happened.
And Putin embarrassing him and eating his lunch for the whole world to see.
And they come up with these lame excuses.
But just listen to this question and answer, you know, because it's actually scary at times.
You know, at times it's kind of funny.
At other times, it's like, this isn't really that funny when you think about the real world consequences of this.
Vadimer Putin laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer.
Is that still your belief, sir, that he is a killer?
Answer the first question?
I'm laughing too.
They actually, I did that.
Well, look, I mean, he has made clear that the answer is, I believe he has in the past essentially acknowledged that he was.
There are certain things that he would do or did do.
Now, remember, Joe is, it's obvious.
And we've run tapes: Joe in 2012, Joe in 2016, Joe today.
And it's all these truths theory is self-evident.
All men and women are created equal by the thing.
Oh, you know the thing.
We choose truth over facts.
Like, okay.
Super Thursday.
And those are just the hits.
Come on, man.
You on crack?
Did you do cocaine before?
You a junkie?
I mean, just bizarre stuff.
And even now, it's beginning to creep into late night comedy.
I noticed that Colbert had on Jon Stewart and Dana Carvey last night.
And Dana Carvey does a pretty dead on Joe Biden because it just constant digressing and stupidity and bumper stickers.
It's like, it's pretty bad.
Anyway, so I started calling him Sippy Cup because you look at Joe's schedule.
It's not very rigorous for a president.
He usually has less than one item on average a day on his schedule.
Starts at 9:30, likes to be up in the residence by 7 and get his warm milky, his night night story, and his sippy cup, and go off to la la land.
But he's clearly being prompt up.
And I don't know why the sippy cup thing is just kind of taking off.
And then I actually, somebody on my staff ordered a sippy cup, and I showed it with the presidential seal and everything.
And everybody's like, I want to buy one.
I'm like, I'm not in the business of selling sippy cups.
So, anyway, last night we were kind of messing around, and the idea came up of what about a song to like Toby Keith does a really cool song, Red Solo Cup.
It's a fun sort of college drinking bar party song.
And just change the words around a little bit.
And except we'll call this one Joe's Sippy Cup instead of Red Solo Cup.
And that means, so we sent it over last night or this morning to Joe Paggs, and he gets it done in like less than two hours.
Anyway, here's Joe Paggs' version.
Two, one, two, three.
Now, Joe's Sippy Cup is always in reach of him.
His presidency marked by that strange empty grin.
So many people were stunned when he got the win.
He looks like he's lost his grasp.
Hey, Joe's Sippy Cup.
I'm not sure what they filled it with.
He fumbles and stumbles like he might have drank a fifth.
Moments he's lucid, pass on by in just a blip.
The media can kiss my ass.
Joseph B. Cup, liberals fill it up.
Democrat Party is laughing hardy.
They love you, Joseph B. Cup.
He lifts you up.
It's just malarkey.
Not being snarky.
Now, Joe can't get through more than just one question.
They say he's fine, but I'm just suggesting his fastball is four and his curb won't no curve no more.
When he speaks, my mouth hits the floor.
No clue where he is, and he thinks 10 might be 11.
Over in Europe, just lost at this year's G7.
Was wandering around, Jill had to reel him in.
He could have roamed off to Berlin.
Joseph E. Cup, Doc Jill fills it up with his warm milky.
His night night pinky.
He loves you, Joseph B. Cup.
It is so messed up, but don't you worry.
Get night and night stories.
Now we've dealt with this for what four months?
The rest of the world leaving the U.S. in the dust.
This guy is deteriorating faster than rust.
Easy to see, old Joe's a bust.
Joe Sippy Cup is always close at hand.
He loses his place more than an unrehearsed band.
The mainstream media says that all he does is grand.
It's almost like this was all planned.
Joseph B. Cup, Flat Putin's hopes are up.
For him, this is fun.
He thinks we are done.
He loves you, Joseph B. Cup.
Red China's hopes are up.
No longer afraid.
Cause Hunter got paid.
Hunter got paid.
Anyway, the one and only Joe Paggs.
Okay, I just, I just don't know how you do this like this.
All these years I've known you, all these years we've been friends, and you have this talent I never knew of.
And you must have, what did you turn this thing around in an hour?
I promise y'all, I was on the computer last night floating around, and I get an email and it says parody request.
And I get that from my listeners a lot.
And I didn't even look at it for a little while.
Then I looked at it again, and it said it was from Linda.
Said, oh, crap, let me see what she wants.
And she sent me a YouTube link to the Red Solidarity.
Hey, why does Linda get special treatment?
She doesn't deserve special treatment.
Anyway, go ahead.
She said, you know, Sean and I were talking about this, and he's wondering if you might be able to do something.
And by two o'clock in the morning, I sent her the first version, and it seemed to go over pretty well.
I had a great time doing it, man.
I'm honored that you asked me.
Truly.
You know, I mean, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I mean, watching it is so cringeworthy and painful.
And there's a part of me that's saying, we are so, you know, screwed.
I mean, you know, Adam Schiff keeps hitting the fan every day with this guy, and he doesn't know what day it is.
And it's so obvious they're propping him up.
And the media, they're only slight little love taps now, occasionally we're getting from late-night comedians, you know, as they got to find something other than Donald Trump every second of every day.
And that's going to go away soon because they're going to be told, stop it.
You know, our mutual friend, Dr. Ben Carson, was on my show and he said, Joe, listen, we would laugh at it, but this, he believes, is abuse.
They think that he thinks, and he's a neurosurgeon, he would know that his staff and his family are abusing this guy.
Now, you and I disagree with his politics, Sean, so we're not that mad that he's failing.
But at the same time, this is hard to watch.
You know, and but there's a worst part of this.
When I really think about it, I'm thinking like, oh my gosh, he's going to meet with Vladimir Putin.
He's meeting with Erdogan today.
He's going to meet with President Qi probably at some point.
And I doubt Kim Jong-un would even waste his time with this guy.
And the Iranian mullahs are salivating.
And you can see geopolitically, strategically now, China's on the move.
Russia's on the move.
Iran is on the move.
North Korea doesn't care what Joe Biden thinks.
And it's sort of like, and then he lives in this bubble, protected.
First as a candidate, the candidate protection program.
Now it's president, the presidential protection program.
I mean, are there any running odds when Kamala might be sworn in?
Well, think about it.
I mean, they're so scared that somebody said, how are the meetings going in Cornwall?
And Jill Biden shot like out of a cannon to grab him by the arm and scurry him away.
You can't ask him how's your day going because they're afraid of what he might say.
And, Sean, how many times has President Joe Biden now said on a microphone, I'll get in trouble if I answer that question?
What the hell is that all about?
He looks scared to me.
I mean, Joe's afraid of his own staff.
Has anyone told Sippy Cup that he's the president?
That he gets to decide if he wants to take questions.
But the reality is, he can't take questions.
The reality is he's not up to, he cannot do a joint presser with Vladimir Putin, and they just lie to us about it.
I'm with you.
And Putin actually, so what did he say about a month ago?
He said, let's do a live debate.
Let's do it live on the internet.
And they completely rejected that immediately.
Yeah.
And then Vladimir says, I'd like to do it before the weekend, meaning you don't have any time to prepare, Joe, and I know you can't do it.
And I hope you're feeling better.
Now, what was that in reference to, Joe?
To me, it was pretty obvious that Putin is saying, yeah, we know you're a mess.
Don't worry.
We figured it out.
And this is everybody was emboldened in the past four months.
Before this, they were all in check, Sean.
Every single one was afraid because they knew that Trump was on his game and wasn't going to take their garbage.
Well, all true.
Joe Paggs, great job.
We're going to put it up on Hannity.com so everybody can get a hold of it.
We'll link it to Joe Paggs' website, which is Mr. Paggs, sir.
JoePaggs.com, J-O-E-P-A-G-S.c-O-M.
You got to love our friend AJ from Houston, Texas.
Man, I think he's your biggest fan on earth.
He is.
AJ is amazing.
I guarantee he's calling every Monday.
And if he gets mad, he's going to call again on Wednesday or Thursday.
Oh, that's hilarious.
All right, Joe Paggs, we love you, man.
Thank you.
Thank you, brother.
Love you back, Sean.
Thanks.
800-941-Sean.
Want to be a part of the program?
Uh, let us say hi to Jeff is in Oklahoma.
Jeff, how are you?
I'm doing great.
How are you, Sean?
I'm good, sir.
Glad you called.
Yeah, I'm actually a refugee from California now in Oklahoma.
Good for you.
Smart move.
You're saving money.
Oh, yeah.
Thousands and maybe twenty thousand dollars of sunfield alone.
Anyway, one of the big pick peeves I have, and I love debating the Democrats on this, and I never hear it really exemplified this much.
Well, basically, the niativity of the Democrats is the thing on oil.
Most people think oil is just made for automobiles or oil for your engines.
But what people don't, what I'll get Democrats up and I'll say, if you could wave a magic wand today and you could wave it and get rid of all the fossil fuel oil, get rid of everything, and you could do it.
And would you do it and deal with the consequences?
And I have quite a few of them actually say yes.
So I say, okay, you ready?
You could wave your wand and have a pretend wand.
And they wave it.
And I say, okay, you got to give me your sunglasses.
Your sunglasses are made of plastic.
You got to get rid of your computers at your house.
By the way, you go home, your wife might have no clothes on because what most women's clothes are made out of that.
Your vacuums, your computers, your keyboards, your coffee pots.
And I said, oh, by the way, you know, Joe Biden wants to build solar panels as an alternative to it.
I said, you know, it takes three-quarters of a barrel of oil to make a solar panel.
And the batteries, all your battery casings, your inside of your batteries made from oil.
It's plastics.
Your blades on big fans, the big windmill fans that froze up back in Texas this year, those are carbon fibrins.
Guess where those come from?
Oil.
I asked, I said, do you ever go camping?
They're going, yeah.
And I said, yeah, what do you use to cook with?
They go, propane.
I said, where do you think that comes from?
And I love the expression.
They say, oil.
And they're just down there.
It's like, it's classic.
But when you start saying, hey, do you get your COVID shot?
And they've asked.
I say, well, what do you think the syringes are made out of?
They're made from oil, plastics.
I said, you know, your soda bottles, your mushroom hand tools, your nail polish.
How about AOC?
She has a lot of makeup on every day.
Lipstick.
No more of that.
That's all oil-based.
How about the paint on your house?
We used to have lead-based paints.
Now it's oil-based paint.
No more of that.
I actually think they're now latex.
I think it's now mostly water-based paint at this point.
You can't even get good oil-based paint like you used to.
And they want to make all these electric cars.
Well, how are you going to make those?
Because all your insides of your dashboards, your interiors are all made of plastics.
I mold stuff out of plastic every day and you can't do it.
And all my price went up on them 60% here just recently.
But all this stuff, your bug sprays, helmets, makeups, everything.
If you look around, your garbage cans, you dump your garbage in everything, your peel bottles, your soda bottles.
I mean, it's a major $6,000.
Such a good point you make, because we don't think about all of this all the time.
No, we don't.
Most people.
It frustrates me.
You know, it's like if most people think that, like, where does all the food in the grocery store come from?
I'm like, farmers, the guys that do the hard work every day.
And, you know, they've mastered farming at a level that nobody ever dreamed possible.
And they feed the entire world and they do a great job at it.
They maximize production.
And then in California, they'll protect a little delta smelt over the farmer's right to raise his crops.
And it's not even an endangered fish or species.
But it's such a good point.
Where things come from?
And what's really funny is when I'm in these phone with these guys, I always say, hey, you know, so we're going to end up being the Flintstones with rock tires and barefoot down the road.
Oh, and on the other side of the world.
By the way, we're not going to live in real houses anymore either.
Anyway, I got a roll, though, though.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jeff.
800-941, Sean.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Okay, Biden, why is the media protecting him?
They ignore his gaffes.
Also, what do foreign leaders think of Biden?
Joe Conscientor, Dan Hoffman, is on tonight.
What would Mike Pompeo do?
I think I have a pretty good idea, but we'll ask him.
More credibility to the Wuhan lab issue that the leak happened at that lab.
