Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, news Roundup Information Overload Hour, Sean Hannity Show 800941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Well, you know, it's I never thought we'd get to a point in in our country's history where they'd be mandating vaccines that by the way still have not been fully approved.
They're still now under emergency use authorization.
Just as, you know, a little side note here.
Um, they haven't given their full seal of approval.
And that, okay, well, start out slow, and and if you get vaxxed, your your life is going to go back to normal.
The same people that told us, well, masks don't work.
Well, now you know we got to mask up.
Then you need two masks.
And well, if you're vaced, you don't need a mask.
If you're vaccined, you do need a mask.
And I I mean, it just it changes daily.
It is confusing, it is frustrating, it's confounding uh many Americans.
It's created vaccine hesitancy among so many.
You know, now all of a sudden now we were told you got vaccinated.
Life is back to normal, but good to go.
Now they're man now, it's becoming mandatory and with mandatory vaccinations.
Then you're going to need a passport to prove that you've been vaccinated.
Forget about medical privacy or doctor-patient confidentiality.
Uh, forget about our constitution, you know, forget about you know those little important matters.
Well, while all that's being put on you and your family and your kids at school, and oh, now we we had the NIH director telling parents that they better wear masks around their children in their own homes.
I didn't think we get to that point either.
But at the same time, since Joe Biden's become president, well over a million people have entered this country illegally.
And we saw the cages that were so overcrowded that Joe built and in the middle of a pandemic and kids on top of each other and adults on top of each other, and nobody's getting tested for COVID.
High rate of COVID positivity uh down at the southern border.
They're still not testing, they're not vaccinating.
When they offered vaccines, 30% of people said no, that didn't prevent them from you know offering people transportation.
Well, what what state do you want to go to?
And that's been happening more and more.
I mean, in the in so many different ways, you can't even make this up.
Then you got Dr. Fauci with the guy that knew that this was likely a manipulated virus according to his email on January 31st, 2020.
The frenzied emails beginning on February 1st, 2020 about whether the NIH funded the Wuhan Virology Lab, where we all knew that coronavirus research was going on and gain of function processes studied and and and practice there.
And then, of course, you know, then we got all hit with the conspiracy theorist label, and then they gave us a conspiracy theory about, oh, this had to be a wet market case where they sell exotic animals like bats.
Okay, that was one big lie, and they knew it.
At least some people did.
Um now Fauci, I guess he's on, I didn't even know Katie Kirk had a show, and Katie Kirk has a show.
Where's her show?
I uh anyway, I guess she's doing her own thing or something.
Who knows?
So, you know, flip-flop Fauci.
Masks don't work.
He said, Oh, sure, go on a cruise in March of 2020.
60 minutes.
Mask is maybe it'll stop one droplet.
You know, wearing masks, that's stupid.
Okay.
He's changed his opinion on pretty much everything.
Now he's saying unvaccinated people may allow a new variant worse than Delta that resists the current vaccines.
Notice one thing that's gonna be missing in his answer.
Open borders and a high rate of COVID positivity at the border.
Listen.
The one good thing is that the vaccines work quite well against the Delta variant.
In some respects, it's good that the Delta variant is not being outstripped by the others because we know we can deal with the Delta variant really quite well.
My concern is that if we allow there to be smoldering infection into the fall and into the winter, because those 93 million people are not getting vaccinated for the most part.
My concern would be you may allow a variant that we haven't even recognized yet to come along and in fact be better at transmitting and more serious than the Delta.
We haven't seen that yet.
So rather than be worrying about these others that are around, let's make sure we don't let new ones come in.
How about closing the border?
Because that's missing.
Joining us now, Senator Marsha Blackburn.
Now we're getting now up every month gets higher.
April's high, nearly 200,000, May gets higher, June gets higher, July gets higher, and it gets higher and higher and higher.
My question is, Senator, um, and welcome back to the program, is if they're gonna take if they're gonna put these draconian measures and vaccine mandates and mask mandates and wear masks at home mandates on the American people, but they're still gonna let all these illegal immigrants in and they don't even test them.
Tell me why anybody should trust any of them.
The Biden border policy makes absolutely no sense at all.
They've got that southern border wide open.
We know there are people from over a hundred and fifty countries that have come in.
And Sean, as you said, they're coming in, they are COVID positive, they're being put in a tent city city in McAllen, or they are being flown in the middle of the night to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and people are saying, Why do we have an uptick in COVID?
Why do we have an uptick in crime?
Look at this southern border policy, and then look at the inconsistency of the policy.
The Canadians are being kept out, even though Americans can go to Canada.
The Cubans have been told turn around, go home, and you know they're going to get killed.
Uh we have our special immigrant visas, our uh Afghanistan interpreters that worked with us that were having trouble getting them into the country.
There is such inconsistency, and people are really tired of it because they see the trafficking of drugs, of um human beings, sex trafficking, labor trafficking, MS-13 gangs.
It is turned every town into a border town, every state into a border state.
People are seeing the effects of this open border of these lax policies in their communities with the drugs, with the uptick in COVID, and they are demanding that something be done about it.
Let me ask you a question.
So pretty much we had a an article this week that came out that stated that border patrol agents are are now saying that people are basically being asked, where would they like to be taken within the 48 continental United States?
What state would you like to go to?
Uh you have been very outspoken about in the late of night that people that are here illegally because Joe didn't enforce the laws at the border.
I mean, I th if I break the law, why do I think I'll actually end up in jail, Senator?
But anyway, that they're being shipped to states like yours in Tennessee.
What if the t the people of Tennessee and the governor and the governor of Tennessee were to very humanely, you know, get air conditioned buses and transportation available for all the people that Joe has sent into their state, that I guess they're expecting the taxpayers of Tennessee to pay for shelter and food and water and health care and education for people,
and why don't you just drive them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and say, Joe, I uh you dropped them off in the wrong place.
You brought them in, that that's your problem.
And uh our mayors and our local officials do not even know them there, that they are there until they present at the hospital.
And I'm sure now they're going to be finding out that they are there because children will be showing up for school.
But see, they don't even know that they are there until there is a need for these services.
And Sean, you're exactly right.
What they're doing is transferring this cost into these communities.
But when you have these MS thirteen gang members coming over, of course you're going to see an increase in crime.
When you have individuals that have been abused physically, mentally, sexually, of course they're going to need more services.
These people have not had vaccinations.
Of course, they are going to be sick and they're going to ha need fellow fellow Tennesseans are are if you if you're bringing people into the state from other countries, if we're really worried about variant potential if you're worried about co high COVID positivity rates and you're bringing people into Tennessee and you're not even telling the governor that you brought them there and I guess I don't know whether housing these people but you know I know in some instances there's been you know hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars set aside for hotel rooms at some point the people of Tennessee will start putting the bill but they may also come into contact with people that have COVID and maybe they're they'll get a breakthrough case or maybe they decided not to get the vaccination for whatever reason.
And they're very concerned about that and rightfully so the left is using all this and using the uptick in coving COVID and the concerns over crime to say we have to have more lockdowns.
The left loves lockdowns they love having that power and control and they love having mandates and they're wanting to mandate vaccines mandate these masks keep these children in situations in school where they're going to have to wear masks and parents are beginning to stand up and they are beginning to say look the governor said we are going to decline your request to bring immigrants here.
Once they're finding out what you were saying Sean is exactly what some of the mayors are saying they're saying hey wait a minute are we supposed to pay for this are we going to incur these costs for health care and education and child services and social services.
And these are individuals that have been truly mistreated on their journey because the cartels are the one in charge and you do not cross that border unless you have paid the cartel.
It is yes.
Quick break more with Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee we'll get to your calls next half hour and Big Kenny's going to check in with us as well from Big and Rich.
All right as we continue Senator Marsha Blackburn, great state of Tennessee.
I've been very very concerned about somebody I've known for many many years and we've kind of fallen out of touch in recent years, but we've always been friends and colleagues.
He's an extraordinarily talented fellow radio host from Nashville I mean is it his ratings have been phenomenal all of these years and he's been a dear personal friend over these years and I used to give his brother Mark the hardest time because he deserved it but I'm worried about Phil Valentine and I've been reading that he's really struggling and the family's asking for prayers that I I'm sure you know Phil.
I'm sure you probably have been on with him many times.
Oh I I know Phil and just care so deeply for him and for his family his wife Susan and we are continuing every single day to pray that God will heal him that Phil will have an amazing story to tell once he is recovered and we do join them in prayer and in lifting him up and we do pray for a full recovery for him and his return to talk radio.
You know it's just a shame that and and then okay so people have a different opinion.
I I'm I'm I'm not of the mind that I'm going to tell people what to do, Senator.
I do want people to take this thing seriously.
I've seen the worst of this you probably have seen the worst of it also.
And I tell people, you've got to research on your own.
I try to bring a variety of medical professionals with varying opinions on radio and TV so people can learn.
It's amazing how many people have never even heard of Regeneron.
Shocked as a therapeutic for a breakthrough case for example or if you didn't get vaccinated and then to talk to your doctor your doctors based on your medical history current medical condition and then you're going to have to make up your own mind because I'm not a doctor Senator and all these people telling people what to do makes me very uncomfortable.
Well it makes me uncomfortable also and I've had the vaccine I encourage people to gather their information to talk to their physician or their health care provider somebody that knows your individual medical history and knows whether or not you would be a candidate for taking the vaccine.
And those are discussions between individuals and their doctors.
But I just am so grateful that President Trump got Operation Warp Speed started.
And he challenged the NIH and he challenged these pharmaceutical companies and said, Come on, guys, let's get in behind this and let's get a vaccine.
And nine months later, we're able to get shops and arms.
And so I'm encouraging people to talk to their physicians and if they can to take the vaccines so that they can stay healthy, avoid getting these life-threatening infections from COVID 19.
And uh the vaccine is there.
It is um effective, and I am grateful that we have it now that uh it is available for people that want it.
Senator, we always appreciate having you on, and there's a reason so many people are moving to Florida, Texas, and Tennessee and the Carolinas.
And I'm the only idiot left, you know, holding the bag up here, but it's not gonna be much longer.
I can tell you that.
Well, come on down.
We would love to have you.
I I I just need to um speaking of b big and rich, I'm gonna talk to Big Kenny in a minute, but uh great to have you.
My best to Phil Valentine and his family.
Please send my my best wishes and prayers.
800 941 Sean is my our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break right back.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean, your number.
We'll get to your phone calls in a minute here.
Let me just tell you one thing.
If you're ever gonna hang out with uh big and rich, John Rich, Big Kenny, and their crew, like their manager, Charlie Panaccio.
Let me just warn you, it's gonna be a long night, and you're probably gonna need excedrin in the morning.
I'm just telling you, just to guess, maybe based on some minor experience.
Um, but they're a lot of fun to hang out with.
Uh, we had a great time.
We were we're out in Vegas for some event.
I have no idea which one at the time.
And of course the John Rich has his redneck Riviera whiskey and and and him and Big Kenny were playing on stage at at their bar in Vegas and just you know, just rocking the place down.
And uh so our buddy Big Kenny and Charlie teamed up and they got this new prime time series.
Now, this is the cool thing.
They travel the country and they meet people that build one of a kind special projects.
In other words, if it rides, if it glides, if it floats, if it flies, well, it's big.
And and you know, it features custom cars, custom motorcycles, boats, planes, you name it, and yeah, well, let me play the trailer and then they're gonna join us.
If it arrives, live, floats the flies, moves otherwise, human power or motorized, combustion or electrify, modify, specialized, one of a kind, customized wheels, wings, justify, as long as it runs.
Sounds like something we want to see.
Right here on Big Kenny's Crank It Up Garage TV.
Crank it up.
Now, I I have not seen the series yet, but when I heard the promo, I'm like, I gotta see this.
Anyway, Big uh Kenny and Charlie Pinacio, they're in Big Kenny's crank it up garage.
Uh join us to give us a preview of this new series of theirs.
They have their first ten episodes coming out.
Um this is awesome.
What a great idea.
What a cool idea.
What a fun idea.
Tell me about it.
Big Kenny, how you been?
Awesome, brother.
It's uh good to hear your voice, and I'm I'm glad you made it through that night in Las Vegas.
But I don't even remember that.
I barely remember.
I think I ought to be reminded of that night in Las Vegas, man.
Hanging with you two is is rough.
That's all I can say.
It is rough.
It is hardcore.
Yeah, well, evidently you're you were able to handle it.
I oh I can hang.
I I I've got a pretty high hang t level.
But you pushed it to me to my lens.
Whether you can dance or not, you know, that's another question, but you can definitely hang.
So that's good.
I can definitely hang.
There's no doubt about it.
I re I prefer to sit when I'm when the music's playing and and stand only when I'm like waving my hands in the air, getting all pumped up about your music.
Uh so tell me about the special.
This is cool.
Awesome.
And well, um, You know, we we had this uh idea that came about while we were hanging out in my shop, um, right beside the studio here at the University of Creativity uh last spring.
Um we were actually shooting another uh show.
It was just like a a one-song thing on a special that was coming out, and the um and an Evan uh Hyman was here from Circle Network, and uh they passed he passed my garage, the door was open to the shop, and and uh saw that w thinking that we're gonna I was they were gonna you know want to set up in the studio that day, but I guess he liked the way the shop looked so much, he said, let's shoot out here.
So we shot our song, we did the deal, and then you know, after that he was kind of hanging out with Charlie and me, and uh we were having ourselves cold beverage and just chatting, and I had a uh a little motorcycle that a friend had dropped off uh that was like 40 years old and said, Hey man, if you and your kids want to tear us apart or do anything with it, I don't care what you do, but you know, just want to give it to you.
I figure something good can come out of it.
So we had torn the thing apart and it was just sitting there and and we got talking about it while Evan was there and I was saying, yeah, you know, it's just fun to see all these folks out there that just take a little bit of uh nothing and turn it into something.
Man, it it would be neat to have a show where um you know we put a lens on that, you know, put a lens on all these makers, all these things.
Well, tell me some of the cooler stuff that that the series will show.
Again, if it if it rides, glides, floats, or flies, it's that's what you featured.
Give me some of the cooler things you discovered.
Hey, Sean, I think one of the coolest ones I wish he was on episode one with us, Kenny would have put him in the Amish Thunderbug.
I'm telling you.
So yeah, the Amish Thunder Buggy, they took a thunder bug uh an Amish buggy, removed the horse from the front and put a jet engine on the back of it.
So you've got this this buggy, this traditional Amish buggy that uh with those one and a half inch wide wheels on both sides going down a runway going a hundred miles an hour.
Pretty crazy.
And yeah, we could have put you inside of that one, Sean.
That would have just been a beautiful ride for you.
You'd have loved it.
Uh how many like how many cars and motorcycles and boats do you have, Big Kenny?
How many do I have myself?
Yeah.
Uh I've got a I've got uh I guess we've got uh three, four cars sitting here.
I've got a couple, three, four motorcycles at any given time.
And uh uh no boats, no planes, but I have a lot of friends that have boats and planes.
You remember in a song that uh uh an early Big and Rich song, I've got friends with boats and planes that I can use.
Right.
Big time, absolutely.
I love stuff that rides, and I and I I've just always had a passion for it.
Charlie's had a passion for it.
So, you know, as soon as we start talking about the show concept, Charlie started talking about some of the things we've been showing each other that week.
I think, you know, he he found uh uh somebody that put wheels on a bathtub.
You know, we found somebody that had hot rodted up a wheelchair, just crazy stuff.
And uh, you know, when you look out there, there's just some amazing vehicles that people have.
And and you know when I see these things, they just put a smile on my face.
And I know Charlie, you you get the same feeling, right, brother?
Oh man, just even speaking to the folks just before we even got there, letting them know that Big Kenny from Big and Rich are gonna show up at their house, and they thought I was playing jokes calling them because I was leading, you know, the production calling these folks.
And when we got there, I mean, this is some some of the greatest people in America that you gotta meet.
And uh every Thursday night you'll you'll get to meet them.
You know, one of the funnest times of my life, I was living in Rhode Island, I had no money.
I mean, but me and a bunch of guys we rented a barn, uh a huge barn.
And it was freezing in the winter up there.
But anyway, we go in there and I just I just started learning to fix cars, and I fixed my own, and you know, I do tune-ups and brakes and whatever you know, whatever I needed to fix my own car, change the oil, and then I started doing body work on a car that I had, I paid like three hundred and fifty bucks for it.
Um and then I got the body work done, and I said, you know what, I'm gonna paint it myself.
And I I learned how to paint cars, and I got pretty good at it.
And then I was so stupid.
Uh at one time I had a van, I fixed that all up and I sprayed it with I don't know if you've ever heard of Emeron.
I mean, it's like glass when you paint.
I painted a b the van black with gold, you know, sparkles all over it.
And I only used uh, you know, one of those white respirators, man.
My my lungs burned for uh three months.
One time I go to get an x-ray.
What's all the scarring on your lungs?
I'm like, yeah, that would be emerond.
Um because of the it's not exactly yeah, and you kind of need a respirator for that that spray.
Yeah.
Back in the day though, nobody told us that we should be using respirators and ear protection.
So, you know, we definitely got it there, but I was a best friend that that his daddy had a at a body and speed shop, and we were in there, you know, working on vehicles or painting or working on fiberglass all the time.
You know, uh, I remember I've been painted a room on a house that was closed off with uh the walls were messed with stains and everything, so I had a you know put a coat of kills on it, oil-based.
I came out of that room high as a kite from that from that paint.
It was not exactly it was not exactly the you know, I was just so stupid and young, I didn't know the difference.
But um anyway, it sounds like a cool project.
Where you where do you get to watch this?
Uh you get to see it on Circle TV, Circle Network.
Um that's the new network uh based out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Uh it's uh where Circle and the Opry uh came together, and uh every Thursday night now um they have our show on there, they have a a show on there with uh Tom Petty, um a new debtor with Kyle.
Uh and so it's just super neat.
It's great to be working with folks out of out of our own city here, and uh it's great to see such a a network of creativity uh coming up out of Nashville Music City, USA.
I'd love to to binge watch shows that I like.
That's awesome.
Um well, it's been too long, Big Kenny.
We gotta hang again, and my best to John.
Charlie, great to talk to you again.
It's been a long time, and I can't wait to see you guys out on the road, hopefully this summer.
You going out on tour, Kenny?
Yeah, man.
We're um uh have been actually touring.
It's just kind of ramping up gradually.
We just got back in from Montana this weekend.
Uh we're heading out to South Dakota and North Dakota uh this coming week and actually uh be throwing my uh yearly uh party there in Deadwood, South Dakota during the Sturgis Rally.
You know, that's uh Nile for Nile Ferris is from.
He's the fellow that told us the story the 8th of November.
And uh so I throw a party there every year.
One of my favorite songs.
I love that song for the 173rd Airborne Memorial down in Fort Benning, Georgia, and uh and other veterans' causes that we support.
So next August, um the August 11th, next week, uh Wednesday uh start party starts right there in the middle of the day.
Uh it's Harley Davidson presents Big Kenny's Hard Rock Annual Pool Party uh in Outlaw Square, Deadwood, South Dakota, and I'm telling you, it's an event you don't want to miss.
I'm getting too old to hang with you guys.
I am getting too old to hang out with you all.
But you can do it.
You can do it.
Oh man, you're killing me.
I need normal life again.
And I thought I had it.
Oh, nah uh sorry, uh, even though you got vaccinated, and yeah, we're having all these breakthrough cases.
I'm like, ready to jump.
I swear I've had it.
Uh guys, love the uh I can't wait to see the prime time series.
It is it's gonna be awesome.
Big Kenny's cranking up garage.
We'll be watching.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks, Sean.
Thank you, Sean.
800 941 Sean, you want to be a part of the uh program?
Uh let us say hi to Annette in North Carolina.
What's up, Bennett?
Glad you called.
Hi, son.
Thank you very much for hearing me out today.
You uh played the national anthem again for me.
But you played it for the world to hear it.
And I want to thank you so much for doing that because it's so unifying and empowering, and nobody else is doing this.
You're the only one on the radio or TV or anybody that does the repetition.
You you're patriotic and you play that song, and do you know how many people on your platform praises and thanks God above for you doing that?
It's so important, and I want to continue on to do that.
Uh I want to also tell you, Sean, that when I wake up in the morning, I pray for three things.
I thank the Lord above, that I have a bed to sleep in, that I have toilet paper, and then I have Sean Hannity to listen to when it toilet paper get ahead of me on the list.
I want to that's an interesting list.
Man, oh man.
I also wanted to um give Linda a verse for you to uh check out later.
It's uh Luke 21 15 and wait a minute.
I know that verse.
It says, give Sean, your boss, your pastor's phone number.
That's what the verse says, right?
Yeah, no, it doesn't.
Pretty sure it doesn't.
It says that you, Sean Hannity, have been empowered.
Let me just read it to you.
It says, I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay, nor resist.
So when I pray for you, I know a lot of other people are praying for you as well.
You have a three-hour time slot, five days a week.
Even Trump wishes he had something like that.
So you're very, very important to us.
Well, you're very kind.
You really are.
Well, your repetition is important.
I I don't know if you realize, but you know, there's lots of people that need that repetition.
I need that remote.
Annette, listen, first I'm going to say the Islander fans and the Lightning fans get the credit, and thank you.
God bless you.
And I'll take number three behind toilet paper and God any day.
Thank you.
Uh I thank God every day for the blessings out of my life.
Uh thanks, Annette.
Melissa is in Illinois.
Melissa, we got about a minute and a half.
I know you've been waiting.
Glad you called.
Uh, one of my kids is going to be a first-year pharmacy student here in about a week.
And the School of Pharmacy emailed the students.
He shared his email with me.
And the dean of the School of Pharmacy is requiring that all of the incoming pharmacy students be COVID vaccinated.
And that policy trumps the university's policy of it being optional.
Um and we're we're being backed into a corner on this.
The school of pharmacy is kind of pushing the blame off to the um health care settings because these students will be in placed in healthcare settings for in-person rotations, claiming that the healthcare environments, hospitals, whatever, are their policy is requiring that all of their employees and therefore.
I wish I could tell you what to do.
You know my the rap research.
Your son's gonna have to make a hard decision, it sounds like um uh it's terrible.
I mean, now that now they're basically you don't get to live life in New York unless you take the mandated vaccine.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
All right, Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
Dr. Ronnie Jackson will be with us tonight.
Laura Trump tonight joins us, Haraldo Dambangino, former Governor Rick Perry, uh Congressman Dan Crenshaw, Larry and Leo 2.0, and much, much more.
Nine Eastern, Saty D V R, Hannity on the Fox News Channel.
We'll see you tonight, back here tomorrow.
As always, thanks for being with us.
You make this show possible.
We never forget it.
