All right, Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, I'm not sure what it is or why it is, or, I mean, we have a long list of embellished podcasts Well, it's not really even embellishment, just outright lies, stories that Joe Biden keeps peddling.
You know, so we put a little montage together of it.
Uh we'll get reaction from our friend uh Congressman Jim Jordan in just a minute as we uh as we start our second hour, 800 941 Sean is our number.
And Ange walks up to me and goes, Joey baby, grabs my cheek, and I thought the secretary was gonna blow his head off.
I said, I swear to God, true story.
He said, Joey.
I read in the paper.
I read in the paper.
You travel 1,000 1,200,000 miles on Air Force planes because they keep meticulous tabs in it.
Did the boys and I figured out the retirement dinner?
He sees the travel two million, I think it was 180, but 2 million 200,000 miles.
When I was 17 years old, like many of you, I participated in sit-ins to desegregate the restaurants and movie houses of Wilmington, Delaware.
When I marched in the civil rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program.
I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes.
And we changed attitude.
I come out of the civil rights movement.
I was one of those guys that sat in and marched and all that stuff.
This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid.
I had the great honor of meeting him.
I have the great honor of being arrested with our UN ambassador on the streets of Sowedo trying to get to see him on Robins Island.
Public services depend on us, school buses, wastewater trucks, cross it every day.
This is essential to Woodstock Fire Station about a quarter of a mile away.
Without this bridge, as I said earlier, it's a 10-mile detour just to get to the other side.
And I know having had a house burned down with my wife in it.
She got out safely, God willing.
Oh, okay.
Not one of those stories is true.
Then, of course, we have the the plagiarism plagiarism of Joe Biden from from years ago.
I mean, bragging on the civil rights bolt's a little ironic considering he's the guy that praised the former Klansman and partnered with the former Klansman, Robert KKK Byrd to stop the integration of public schools and stop bussing because he didn't want public schools to become in his words, racial jungles.
Uh yet the mob, the media, of course, they never hold him accountable.
Only conservatives and Republicans can be called racist.
Anyway, our good friend uh Congressman Jim Jordan is back.
Uh he's got a new book, Do What You Said You Would Do.
Fight for Freedom in the Swamp.
It's now on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and bookstores everywhere.
Now, the great thing is this is an insider's look on how to win.
If you want to win and you make promises, keep your promises.
Like Mitch McConnell shouldn't be telling us he's not going to help Democrats raise the debt ceiling for two months, two months, and then change his mind.
Uh Republicans should not have been helping uh pass the 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill because Democrats are not allowing them to be a part of any of the process.
And then the lies behind all of it, oh, 3.5 trillion, 1.75 trillion won't cost you a uh a single penny.
Not one red cent is it gonna uh cost you at all.
The CBO is the gold standard until it comes back and shows that they're lying that it won't cost zero.
Uh it's gonna cost three hundred and sixty seven billion dollars uh in new debt for your kids and grandkids.
Uh by the way, this bill will make its way back to the House in all likelihood, assuming there'll be changes in the Senate and the squad is threatening to uh go against that bill.
Uh Jim Jordan joins us, sir.
Congrats on the book.
Welcome back.
Glad to have you.
Sean, thank you and thank you for doing what you said you would do.
If I'd read a constitution for freedom and and the values that make our country great.
So it's good to be with you.
When you were playing that clip of uh all those the montage of Biden, I thought, you know, there's a reason seventy-one percent of our fellow citizens thinks we're on the wrong track.
It's not just the stupid policies of Joe Biden.
It's the fact that he's not square with them when he says things.
So uh yeah it's just it's it's almost embarrassing that the commander in chief behaves the way this guy does and it's a lot of people Joe Biden's repeating repeatedly saying Kamala repeatedly saying Gen Saki repeatedly saying that oh no no build back better new Green Deal socialism will cost zero zero.
Joe whispers zero zero.
Okay.
Now it costs a fortune.
My other favorite is oh uh we don't need to test uh illegal immigrants for COVID because they're not going to be here very long.
Uh no they're not going to be where they are for very long because they're gonna be put on an airplane and dispersed to the rest of the country without a vaccine mandate and preferential treatment.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah.
No, no he also said that spending trillions of dollars was going to help inflation.
I'm like what there's not a rational personal logical there's not a sane person on the planet who believes that.
I mean w we're at a thirty one year high in inflation and oh spending two trillion dollars or whatever this thing's gonna be uh is gonna help inflation like I I mean he just says things that are ridiculous.
But the good news is the American people see through it.
You know he's at 38%, Kamla's at 28% approval rating.
I don't know in in my time of following polling that I've ever seen a president vice president with those the you know numbers that low and then again when seventy one percent I said the other day I want to meet the 29% who think we're on the right track for goodness sake.
There's not one thing these people have done right so who are the folks who actually think we're on the right track.
I I I I gotta meet these folks because there's not one thing this went well for uh for the country under the leadership of Democrats controlling uh all the federal government so what do you think the odds are likelihood is that this gets b sent back to the House uh after Manchin and cinema get a hold of it.
Yeah I I hope it doesn't.
I mean I I hope that Senator uh Senator Cinnamon Manchin hold firm and frankly there was a good piece in the journal talking about what about some of these other you know not so radical senators.
I mean all the the left controls the Democrat Party but there's some who aren't so radical who frankly are up for reelection in in you know twelve months.
What are they doing?
They've been kind of quiet.
What are they really thinking when they see a seventy one percent wrong track polling number when they see a thirty eight percent approval number for Joe Biden when they look at the fact that you know we went from a secure border to chaos, energy independence to President Biden begging OPEC to increase production and on we could go.
When they look at all that they might be thinking ah maybe not.
So I I'm still hopeful and plus what what what we've seen Sean with with parents standing up at school board meetings, Glenn Young going to be the next governor uh of of Virginia with twelve uh twelve courageous people who did the right thing in Kenosha, Wisconsin on that jury I mean I think suddenly there is a different mood, a a change happening now.
Um so I'm hopeful that this thing still may not pass.
Now if it does and they change it and it comes back to the House we'll deal with the dam.
But I'm hoping somehow it doesn't get through the Senate.
So Biden is out there saying and blaming businesses for the inflation and higher prices.
I would I I would blame his economic policies and very specifically the people that are disproportionately negatively financially impacted by his energy policies are the people that can least afford it and that's the poor in the middle class.
If you're paying a buck fifty more a gallon to fill up your tank, that's what, 25, 30 bucks, whatever it happens to be depending on how big your gas tank is you know, five hundred to a thousand bucks more to heat your home in the winter and cool your home in the summer um and then you add to that every single thing, every item we buy costs more because it costs more to get it to the store.
Yep.
No you want to buy a home it's gonna cost more you want to rent an apartment is going to cost more.
You want to heat your home is going to cost more.
You want to put gas in your tank it's gonna cost more.
Food on the table is going to cost more Christmas presents going to everything is going to cost more is costing more.
It hurts middle class families.
But this is this is the crazy economic.
Remember their basic plan, their basic plan all along was lock down the economy, spend like crazy, pay people not to work, and now they're getting ready to raise taxes for those who have been working.
Such a deal for working class middle class families.
So that's what they're up to.
And I think it could potentially get worse because now that the Biden administration is saying that, oh, we're going to look at these businesses, we think they're gouging and increasing prices, energy companies – I think they're toying with price controls, which is scary because we know what happens.
If you do that on top of what they've already done.
We've already tried this once.
Bad idea.
It's a terrible idea.
You talk about supply chains and weights and scarcity and then higher prices in that than just a downward spiral it gets into.
Um I hope they're not going there, but that's typically how the left operates.
And let's let's hope it's let's hope it's not the case.
So you got this this intramural, you know, cold war among the Democrats, but also between Joe and Kamala.
You've got the progressive caucus or the squad.
Uh they're saying that if they cut a penny out of what is now, I guess agreed to what was passed in the House last week, that in fact they they're likely to oppose it.
Then you've got all these stories that, you know, Democrats are in a full state of panic because Joe Biden is, even though he's talking about running again in 2024.
I don't even know if he can I I I can't even see this guy surviving another three years because he's such a cognitive mess and and weak and frail as any politician I've ever seen.
Um then you got the disaster, which is Kamala Harris.
I mean, she hires a PR team, she fires a communications director, she makes a movie with child actors that ends up blowing up in her face.
She's done nothing for the border.
She does uh she embarrasses herself abroad with a phony French accent.
I don't think there's any rehabilitation here efforts that are gonna work.
Yeah, I I mean it's it's it's hard to see how there is.
Uh I think we're gonna win next year.
I do think when you look at the Democrat Party, though, that you know, there's these battles and squabbles that go on, but let's be honest, the left controls the party.
I mean, the left got everything they wanted in the House of Representatives.
They got that that first infrastructure bill, they got all the spending they wanted in the second bill.
The left runs that party, and that's what's so frightening to me because it's not just the left that controls the spending and all the stuff that's leading to this record inflation.
It's the left using government, weaponizing government to come after people they disagree with.
It's the left's attack on the first amendment.
I mean, we all know now, Sean, we live in a world today where where the left says, if you don't agree with me, you're not allowed to talk.
And if you try to speak, we're gonna call you a racist, we're gonna call you names, or we're gonna try to cancel you, and we're even gonna stick the FBI on parents and put a terrorist tag on their name.
I mean, that is frightening stuff.
So uh there's squabbles going on over there, but we should all understand it's controlled.
The Democratic compar uh party is controlled by the radical left who are out to weaponize government and fundamentally change the country.
And that's why what you do every day is so darn important.
What we all do to speak out against this is just critically important.
Quick break more with Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio has a terrific new book.
It's just out today.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere.
Do what you said you would do.
Fighting for freedom in the swamp.
Good advice, political advice for everybody.
Some Republicans really need to read it.
Music We continue with Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio.
He has his new book out today.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere.
Do what you said you would do, fighting for freedom in the swamp.
It's now out today.
I know I'm a broken record, but I can describe what conservatism means to me in less than a minute.
And that is the party of freedom and liberty, capitalism, our constitution, limited government, less regulation, lower taxes, school choice, law and order, free market solutions for health care, constitutionals on the bench, energy independence, legal immigration, but bring back the Trump policy, stay in Mexico, build the wall, etc.
Free and fair trade.
Uh and I'd add to that peace through strength.
What am I missing?
Because your book do what you said you would do fighting for freedom in the swamp.
If Republicans did that and just stood for that, I think they can they'd have the biggest electoral victory in 2022 than they ever imagined.
Stand for that.
And then when you get in office, when the voters give you a privilege of serving, I talk about this in our book.
You know, only about 12,000 people over the history of this great country, the greatest nation ever.
Only about 12,000 had the opportunity to serve in the United States Congress.
If you get that chance, that privilege to represent folks back home, do what you said you would do.
And no one did that more.
Those things you just outlined, no one fought for those more, did more what he said he would do than President Trump.
And I write a lot about President Trump and the in the in the I feel privileged.
The interactions I got to have with him in the Oval Office, in the White House, working with him, talk a lot about that, and I write a lot about uh the investigation.
He had the back he gave the Republican Party a spine and a backbone.
Yeah.
Because he fought.
Now my question is why do you think from day one he's been hated with a passion that I've never seen before?
Yeah, because he came to that town to change it.
He came there to fight for working class, middle class, all Americans, for our military, our veterans, our law enforcement.
He came there to do what he said he would uh do, and truly, I mean, we we think it's a slogan, but it's the greatest slogan ever, and it's it is the truth to make America great again.
To stand up for America, not that that town that is all about you know the establishment in the swamp and all about the same old, same old.
He came there to change that.
No, we don't need to do it this way.
Put American interests first in foreign policy and domestic policy across the board.
And that got everyone nervous.
And yet, in spite of every Democrat being against him, everyone in the mainstream press being against him, everyone in the bureaucracy being against him, and a bunch of Republicans being against him.
He got more done than any person, any president in our lifetime.
That's what I that's why I want him to run again, Sean.
I really do.
I I want him to run.
I think he's going to, and I think he's gonna win.
I think he is too.
Um I wanted you to run for the Senate in Ohio.
Wouldn't take my suggestion.
Uh you rejected both me and Mark Meadows.
We've forgiven you for it, but I'm still gonna remind you of it on a regular basis.
Listen, I was very impressed with the book, and if people, if the Republican Party wants to win, they need to follow the instructions you lay out here.
Do what you said you would do, fight for freedom in the swamp.
Don't fight for your re-election.
Don't fight for the next election.
Don't fight for the for the right to be called Congressman or Senator.
Do it because you want to serve.
Be a public servant.
That's how I view it.
Uh very well done.
Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere now, just released today.
Uh Jim Jordan, we appreciate you being with us.
And we'll we have a link up on our website right now.
Thank you, sir.
God bless you.
Take care.

We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

Sean's got more behind the scenes information.
More contacts than anybody.
More friends behind the curtain.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We're just talking in the break about, you know, five people dead, 40 hurt, uh, including 12 kids, uh, after this guy with a long criminal record.
Uh, you know, the the carnage is unbelievable in Walkershaw, Wisconsin.
And then, you know, here we go again.
We find out, oh, this guy has a rap sheet a mile long.
Um, just more recently, uh, charged with resisting an officer bail bailing on his j uh bail jumping, second degree recklessly endangering the safety with domestic assessments as well as disorderly conduct battery, posted a thousand dollars bond uh just a couple of days before this attack.
But we're being told it's not an incident of terror.
Turns out he's a big Trump hater.
If it was a Trump lover, God knows that would be the story.
Um I don't blame his politics.
I blame just the evil that is in his heart that can do this to innocent people.
Um the carnage, it just is is heartbreaking.
Linda, you were you're very upset about it.
You know, I really am, and and I was reading about you know the kids that are hurt.
You know, I take there's a lot you can take, right?
But uh you can't hurt kids.
You just can't.
When you start hurting kids, you make decisions that are kids are affected.
I mean, there's three sets of siblings that are in the in the children's intensive care unit.
Like these parents are beside themselves, and this guy has a rap sheet longer than my arm, and they let him out on a thousand bucks.
Like, are you kidding me?
It's incomprehensible to me.
But you know what?
This is what the fund dismantle the police is.
This is what it looks like.
This this is what you get.
No bail laws, which Joe Biden is now supporting nationally.
It hasn't worked out well in New York.
I can tell you, uh I can tell you from what I see happening in New York.
The statistics don't lie.
Murders weigh up, crime way up.
You know, look at the disaster that's that represents many cities.
Well, as long as you don't steal a thousand dollars worth of merchandise, um, it's okay.
They're gonna let you walk right out of the store, and they're not gonna charge you.
You know, I I just for the life of me, and this is what angers me.
Okay, we've condemned what happened on January 6th.
People are being held accountable.
What about the five hundred and thirty-four riots that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, and destroyed billions of dollars of property between theft and arson?
What where's that commission?
Where's that committee, Liz Cheney?
Uh and it tells me that I guess what?
Washington only cares about one riot, the one that impacts them, not the riots that impact the you know, all these other communities, all these other states, all these other cities.
You know, as they sat there in pure denial and and told us what we knew was not true, that these were mostly peaceful protests.
No, they weren't.
You don't have thousands of cops injured, and you don't sit there night after night and watching the looting and arson and city blocks being taken over and the and the bricks and the rocks and the bottles of Molotov cocktails and lie to me like that.
What is it?
Um I was watching Brian Yunison, he's in front of the people that are blocking the Brooklyn Tunnel.
Right.
And they were there for over an hour.
It's a federal offense.
I think it was the Brooklyn Bridge, right?
Brooklyn Bridge or and but there was another tunnel that they were also blocking.
They were on the Brooklyn Bridge and they were blocking traffic there, and it had been for over an hour.
And the police are standing there.
It's a federal offense to block a roadway because people need to get through for emergencies.
You know, there's a pregnant person trying to get to the delivery unit.
There's a sick person having a heart attack, and there's all of these people that are standing there, and they don't know what they're standing there for.
They don't.
If you ask them, what is the case about?
What happened during the courtroom?
I'm sure there's exceptions to that rule, but the rule is what it is.
And they don't know that.
What happens is they they are being fed lies, and it's they're being fed these lies on a regular basis.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist.
There's no evidence that ever emerged since this incident with Kyle Rittenhouse that showed in any way he was a white supremacist.
The facts, the evidence in the case were overwhelming and incontrovertible.
That's why the the verdict was what it was.
But the rush to judgment, you know, the things that are said on TV, the sound bites and where people get their news from, they don't get the truth.
And they don't even care about the truth, Sean.
Well, that's in many cases, they don't.
I mean, this the NBC leading the charge in spreading lights.
That was four years of Russia Trump, you know, collusion lies.
You know, what what was it in Ferguson?
What was it in Baltimore?
What was it with Duke La Cross?
It never ends.
This you know what makes me more angry, Sean?
No.
It's not so much that they it makes me more angry than what they're already doing.
It's they never correct the record.
They never come back and say, I'm very sorry, we gave you misinformation.
This was this.
It never happens.
Not once.
Not one time.
And I think that's the biggest problem that I have.
I I don't care if you say something wrong and you made a mistake or you you misjudge.
We're human, it happens.
But when you egregiously do it time after time, and you never come back and say, I was wrong.
You mean like on the steel dossier?
Yeah, exactly, Sean.
Where was the news on that?
And and even the way the Washington Post did it was not it was not done correctly, but at least they tried a little.
Nobody else, you know, is anyone ever gonna hold every other network, every other fake news cable channel.
Uh the New York Times, will they give back these prized pulitzers?
Anyway, Andy's in Florida, Andy, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
Hey, Sean, in addition to the great points you're making about uh about media coverage, I just want to say that that the if you look at the disproportionate coverage of this type of event where potentially a person of color has dri has driven through a crowd of predominantly white folks.
I mean, it it's crazy.
The disproportionate reaction both on television in terms of the number of times you see it spoken about and then especially from the opinion piece.
I mean, if the rules were reversed here, the outcry would be absolutely beyond the pale.
By the way, met you in Jacksonville at the Davis Cup uh a few years ago, and you were so kind to my my family and I, and for some of your stature to take the time to speak to us, really appreciate it.
Listen, I don't I don't have a job except for people like you that listen.
I'm very appreciative to you, so um, and I'm grateful.
And this is Thanksgiving week.
Uh, and I'm gonna be taking a few days off like many of you and spending time with family and friends, and um I wish you the best.
And I'm even gonna fry my turkey.
Anyway, 800 nine four-one Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Thank you, Andy.
Uh Ron is in South Carolina.
What's up, Ron?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Linda and the staff.
Um wish.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Yes, sir.
Just want to let you know it's been a while since I've heard anybody say it.
You are a great American, sir.
Thank you.
So long time.
And uh just two quick comments.
First of all, the written house um verdict, I think that was a great win for Second Amendment uh votes and uh concealed weapon permit carriers such as ourselves.
I know you have yours, I have mine, my wife has hers.
You know, we always taught that um that our weapons are for defense only.
And that was clearly thanks to the video and the testimony, open and shut, uh defensive scenario.
And uh we're praying for everybody involved in West Co West Thompson.
I know you've always been a proponent of not making knee-jerk reactions, and um just would like to get your thoughts on this as far as we go forward from here.
What you know what the real truth is as somebody that has had a license to carry in New York, a license to carry in Rhode Island, a license to carry in California, Alabama, and Georgia.
And I've I've I've carried a firearm most of my adult life.
And the the it the interesting part of that is I'll run away from trouble.
I'll look like a coward.
I know I'm gonna win.
And even if it's uh if I'm not carrying, the odds are pretty much in my favor after nine years of training situational self-defense.
Uh odds are pretty good that I'm gonna handle myself pretty well because that's what we do.
We repeat it every single day.
And but I but I would run away.
Maybe look maybe look like no, I just don't ever want to have to hurt anybody.
That's how I feel.
And um, I've had situations where people get very aggressive with me, and I literally will put a hand out and say, just give me some space, please.
Don't make me hurt you.
I've actually used those words.
Linda, you've heard me use those words.
Please, I do not want a confrontation with you.
Um I will I will I will leave.
You You you do what you want to do.
And it's funny just saying that to somebody makes them pause.
They think you're nuts.
Um, but I I do it because it's a passion, but I would it you never pull out a firearm unless you really feel you're gonna use it ever.
And it is a big responsibility, and in all my adult life, I've never had to pull it out.
Thank God.
I never would want to.
I wouldn't want that on my conscience.
I love the fact that this I I love this company of uh that I found that I'm a customer uh called burner B Y R N A, and they shoot projectiles that have tear gas and and two separate pepper sprays.
You can hit somebody from a pretty pretty good distance.
I can I can nail somebody at 40 feet every time, and I can't even see anymore.
Uh and it's very accurate.
And you see the them you can look at their website, burner by RNA.com, I think is what the website is, and you could see that it incapacitates people, but for cops, it would be a good second option at a distance.
In other words, most pistol encounters are up close.
If somebody's at a distance and you sense something bad's about to go down, if you hit them with the projectile, it's gonna be uncomfortable for them, but you're not gonna kill them.
You know, they'll they'll be incapacitated in as much as the tear gas, the pepper spray, they're not gonna be able to see very well, and they're gonna be in a little bit of pain, but it's not permanent.
And it's uh it's just a another layer of protection short of the one option that that people have and cops have in particular.
Do you like that idea?
I think we lost them.
Quick break, right back.
More of your phone calls coming up.
800-941 Sean.
want to be a part of the program.
All right, back to our busy phones.
Uh Angelo's in New York.
What's up, Angelo?
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Thanks for taking my call.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, what I was calling about real quick is you know, I get irritated when I hear our president and and most of these politicians up in Washington constantly lie about his policies and his administration, and everything that he's doing will not raise taxes for anybody making under 400,000.
It's just an outright lie, and I think it should just be plain English.
Tell everybody it's an outright lie because everything you have to pay for is costing more.
Therefore, you have no, you have less disposable income, so you are being taxed more.
I don't care what income bracket you're in.
There's three categories here.
One, we're paying more because of the inflation he caused.
Two, we're all paying more uh to fill our gas tanks, heat and cool our homes.
Three, every item we're buying buying costs more.
Four, you know, oh, uh we're gonna we're gonna tax those evil corporations.
They're not gonna take the tax increase.
They're gonna pass the cost on us also.
That's another lie.
I know, and then when they say, yeah, we're gonna our our plan is gonna be paid for because of the uh what do you say, 40 billion dollar companies not paying billions in taxes?
Doesn't he understand it's the tax laws?
They're following the tax laws because they got these high-priced tax accountants.
That's their job.
That's what they do.
They're not gonna pay more in tax, so you're not gonna fund it.
So where the CBO says you're paying 367 billion more, it's gonna be much higher than that with his plan.
And it's it's just so irritating.
It it's irritating, it's a lie.
We're already paying listen, inflation is it is hurting the people that Democrats claim to love the most.
Poor and middle class Americans are getting clobbered.
You know, the even the cost of Thanksgiving is the most expensive it's ever been.
The cost of Christmas is going to be the most expensive.
Christmas trees, the highest prices you've ever paid.
Um all of these little things add up.
If somebody is on, and I've I've lived paycheck to paycheck for a significant period of my life as an early adult, it's not fun.
You know, but when you're struggling To pay rent and a car payment or whatever you're paying and utilities and insurance and all the things that you need, you you can't afford another 25 bucks every time you fill up your car.
You know, there are going to be people by the way.
I read this weekend.
People are buying more wood to heat their homes than in past years as a means of lowering the cost of heating their homes.
I mean, you're gonna have families literally sleeping next to the fire at night because it costs too much for a family, they cannot afford to heat their home.
All of this is preventable, which is the worst part of it all.
I'll give you the last word.
No, and I and I agree with you.
I just would say if the media could just put it in as plain English as they can.
So any listener here, what you're hearing from Washington is not true.
You are paying more, you will pay more.
Look at the grocery store bill, look at your heating bill.
You can't emphasize it enough, but people, you know, by the way.
Do you really think that the mob in the media is capable of telling the truth like that?
I mean, they they'll touch the surface of it, but they're not really bringing home the message.
If this was happening under Donald Trump, I promise you you'd hear a lot more from them.
I agree with you, Tom.
Sure.
