Sir Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Great to have you along for the ride.
Joe Pag's in for Sean Hannity today.
Really glad to have you along and uh really glad to have Sean Spicer back, a friend of mine, a host of Spicer and Company over at News Max TV, also the author of a great book called Radical Nation.
Sean, how are you?
I'm great, Joe.
How are you?
Merry Christmas.
Good to be with you.
Merry Christmas, happy new year.
Glad that you could make some time today.
Radical Nation flying off the shelves because you really do outline what it is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had in their agenda heading into the White House, heading into the leadership in this country.
And Sean, you wrote it uh, you know, before we saw everything unfold the way that it has in the first year of this administration.
Is it as bad as or about what you expected?
Or is it worse than that?
I feel like I should go by I I feel like I should go by Powerball tickets because when I wrote Radical Nation, the idea was to give people a glimpse of what I thought could happen, right where we were headed.
And it turns out that I mean, literally, Joe, this morning there was a piece in Playbook uh Politico's morning tip sheet, political tip sheet.
Yeah.
And it talks about the judges that he's picking.
And I literally have this section, and I looked at my team and I said, guys, it's almost like they took a piece of Radical Nation and put it in here because what Biden has done is gone and looked at his judges and said, let's instead of using, quote, the bench as the bench, no pun intended, yeah, they have basically created a system where they're going out and finding like public defenders and woke professors to fill these roles to woke the federal judiciary.
But they're they understand what's at stake and how little time they have.
And I think that they are they are not kidding around.
And when they say that build back better is not done, take them at their word because they they get it.
They have what, 11 months till Republicans almost certainly take back the house?
So I I I just my bel my view is we better understand what's at stake and stay vigilant.
It's like he's clairvoyant.
It's a pressure book, go and get radical nation from Sean Spicer.
Sean Spicer.com, of course, the former White House press secretary, we'll talk about that in a moment as well.
But yeah, let's talk about those nominees for a second, Sean.
As I'm watching these hearings, as you watch watching the Senate committees question these people, uh I almost thought it was a joke.
I thought it was like a Saturday night live skid.
That people that are being nominated literally have a history of saying the most vile things against freedom and liberty in the Constitution.
They're saying the most vile things against Republicans and Trump and people like you.
Uh it's almost as if they hired actors because I'm watching it going, there's no way this person was really nominated.
What do you think the game is?
Because they have little chance of getting through.
Is it to load as many woke people up and then uh desensitize us to how woke they are and maybe accept somebody who is just a little bit woke and not really, really, really off the, you know, uh off the boat woke.
Is that the idea here?
Because these people uh it's stunning to me that they're being nominated for anything.
Is it that we'll accept somebody less woke?
Is that the game?
Well, look, you and I have talked about this before, and the point that I've been making in Radical Nation is this is about Biden's legacy.
And there's two ways you do it.
You do it through the policy, we've talked about that, and then you do it through the people, the nominations and appointments that you make.
But if you can create and craft a woke world in which you become the new progressive North Star that everybody bows down to and says, you know, it was Joe Biden that appointed the first four-star transgender person.
It was Joe Biden that appointed the first person of color to be VP and the first LBGTQ person to lead a department.
All of these things, then he becomes the new savior, the person that everybody has to outdo, and for decades to come, and probably at least a generation, if not two, they look at him as the new FDR.
And so the judges are part of this.
But it is a holistic approach to remaking government in a very progressive way.
And this is why I call it a radical nation, because it's not just the policies, it's the people and the lasting effects that so much of what they're doing will have on us.
Sean Spicer.com, go to that website.
He's the host of Spicer and Company over on News Max TV.
Get his book called Radical Nation.
It's Sean Spicer.
We appreciate the time.
You and I have talked about this before.
Joe Biden uh pretended to be a moderate for a long time.
So Sean, did he pretend to be a moderate and that and now he's showing who he truly is, or um, is he just a shell of a guy?
And you and I talked about this before that Ron Klain is probably running things in the White House.
That that big lie about the economy last uh last week where he's standing in front of this board that he keeps on, you know, switching the the papers and showing look how great it is.
Look at everybody's working, look how low unemployment is.
When it was all just fudge numbers.
But Joe Biden pretending to be a moderate all those years.
Am I right that he was pretending, or was he a moderate?
He doesn't really know what's going on now.
Well, I I think he's more of an opportunist.
I have a whole section of the book about how he started off as being uh, you know, defending um life and talking about how Roe was wrongly decided in a conception uh life begins at conception, and that's completely changed because he'll go with the win.
But the reality is that this comes back to what I was saying is that he will he is held then on a legacy on creating something, and so he will say and do whatever he has to do.
I mean, think about how many things the candidate Biden said, whether it is no vaccine, whether it was horrible for the now doing the exact hypocrisy in the double stairs, goes.
We're hitting a rough sell right now with Sean Spicer on the line.
We're hitting a rough cell.
Hopefully it's gonna it's gonna clear back up.
Uh, the author of Radical Nation.
Uh Sean, we lost you for a second, but you're talking about candidate Biden and what he said he would and wouldn't do, and how he really hasn't come through.
Take it from there if you don't mind.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, so basically, I mean, I I think the bottom line is that that if you compare the promises that he made, they're not even close to what he said.
No masked mandates, all these things that he said that he would never do as president, he's doing because he's because again, the winds change, and the goal isn't to moderate and to get things done.
That was an image that the press created.
But the end of the day, all they want is a legacy.
Go to SeanSpeiser.com at Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary.
He's the host of Spicer and Company at Newsmax TV.
Get this book Radical Nation.
Are you are you like me, Sean?
Are you buoyed by the fact that the American people are waking up to it, though?
His approval ratings stink.
I mean, I think that uh there's a recent uh study either by Rasmussen or somebody that said Trump is leading him like 41% to 20 something percent.
Trump is dominating w when Americans are asked who do you trust, whose policies do you think are looking out for you more?
And this is less than a year, this is honestly less than a year in.
His approval ratings are are garbage.
Kamala Harris's approval ratings are ten points lower than his.
So it's not working.
Are you buoyed by that?
I kind of am.
Well, yes, I am, but I'm I'm not.
I mean, you at the end of the day, you still have three years to go.
So it's sort of you gotta be careful.
Um, but I will tell you the thing that's so interesting, is in your your focus on the general election is obviously worth noting.
But with John McLaughlin, the esteemed polster that that worked for Trump last cycle did a poll in November where he looked at the Democratic primary field.
Only 21% of Democratic voters wanted Biden to be the nominee in 2024.
Twenty-one percent of the Democrats.
Three and four percent here and there for all these different folks.
But the reality is, what does that say when your own team doesn't want you?
That's stunning.
No, it is, but but again, I I uh you're right.
I don't want to be happy about it because we've got three more years of this garbage to go through, and we've got to do something to stem the tide before we get there.
It's Sean Spicer, Sean Spicer.com, get the book Radical Nation.
Let me shift gears here a little bit.
As a talk show host, I'm jaded.
What I mean by that is I can't really listen to other talk show hosts without thinking about the technical aspects of it, or how would I have handled that?
Now, I could listen to Rush, may he rest in in peace, because he was the king.
I listen to Sean, he is incredible, and and uh and I don't listen with a jaded ear.
Other talk show hosts I do, so I actually avoid it because I don't want to be that guy.
You and I have talked about this.
You're not somebody who is who is the kind of guy that would watch or listen to Gen Saki and criticize her.
I know that you're not.
You're not the kind of guy that would say I wouldn't have done it that way, or I wouldn't have done it this way.
Because uh I think that, like me, you know that you're not going in with sort of a clear ear and clear conscience, you've done the job.
But they pulled you in, Sean, and and we spoke about this at length before on my show.
They pulled you in by by attacking you by attacking Kellyanne Conway, and you felt as though you had a response.
So let me let me see if you'll go here.
You might not.
When Jen Saki walks out to the podium, and you and I both know she's not telling the truth.
Somebody who's attacked you, somebody who attacks Trump at every turn, somebody who will not answer a question and just give some sort of spin.
Does that make you does that take you back to when you did the job?
Do you become critical in your mind thinking, how is she doing that and getting away with it?
Because I truly, when I watched you, I believe that you're a guy who just wanted to tell the agenda and tell the truth and answering these questions.
That doesn't seem to be the MO today.
Well, no, a couple of things.
I mean, there's the smugness is starting to wear thin by which she you know sort of refuses to acknowledge the reality of what's happening, and then I mean it truly is a smugness.
But the but the bigger fault is the media.
I mean, I honestly, the the responses that she gives, and no one is sitting there.
I mean, more than anything, I feel like I'm jumping up and down in my seat and saying, Wait a second, you know, how that literally contradicts something that she or the president said five days ago or two weeks ago or during the campaign, and no one is saying a word.
They are so complicit.
But remember something.
Saki Saki was, you know, worked at CNN before this.
I'm sure she'll go back there.
These folks are her colleagues and her friends.
This is not a real press briefing.
This is a a patty cake discussion among buddies, they're colleagues, they're friends, they they hang out together.
So that's a very different role than what I did or Sarah after me.
I mean, w we weren't there to make friends, and clearly we didn't.
Um, but these are her buddies, these are her former colleagues, and probably and will be future colleagues, you know, come sometime in the next couple of months when she departs.
There was one question, Sean, that was asked of her that in the bigger scheme of things isn't about build back better or sp or taxes or regulation or even poll numbers.
This was about Joe Biden being a Catholic and a reporter, I don't know who it was, it was a man, it wasn't Ducey, but it was it was a guy, and he and he said, Hey, the president says he's Catholic, yet he's pro-choice.
How does he come to terms with that?
And she turned the question on the guy, lit him up for even asking the question.
I guarantee you've never faced that decision, have you?
When the question is valid, Sean, the question's valid.
You're a Catholic, Catholics are against you know, aborting, you know, terminating pregnancies, uh, they're for life.
It's not an out-of-bounds question, but that's sort of the way she shuts down any critical question, any sort of a question that would gain information.
Whereas when you were the press secretary, they lit you up for an hour straight until you gave some other answer that they I guess wanted, or so Acosta could write a book or something.
It's so radically different.
And by the way, get radical nation.
It's so radically different to see how you did it, how Kaylee did it, how how Sarah did it, and how she's doing it.
If you were in the media, wouldn't you make your your your mark?
Wouldn't you make your name by asking real questions to show those who support you and trust you for information that you're unafraid of Saki?
Nobody should have shut that question down.
It's a valid question.
The man was about to meet the Pope, and you're asking about his Catholicism.
Well, by the way, not to keep going on that question, but it's a really valid point that you're making, is that he talks about himself and describes himself as a practicing Catholic.
Right.
I have generally viewed people's relationship with God to be that between them and God.
If you want to talk about, you know, I I just don't want to assail somebody's relationship.
Like what you and God have going, as long as you're good with it and with you know what you've done and said, that's that's between you and him.
Right.
But I'll tell you, when you make it and you start talking about yourself as a practicing Catholic, and the reality is is that you are living and espousing beliefs that are diametrically opposed to church teaching.
Then yes, you should be able to deal with the scrutiny that goes along this.
And the way and the smugness that she responded to that question was so leg ill, I mean, it was a very legitimate question to your point, and it was such a ridiculous answer.
Uh like somehow, first of all, Joe Biden's a dude too.
So he doesn't give birth.
Right.
Like, I mean, is he not able to have I mean clearly he has a position.
Right.
So I I don't understand.
I mean, it was sort of a stupid thing, but I think again, it was her way of showing off in front of a bunch and scaring off a bunch of woke other media that were like, oh God, I don't want to ask a question because I'll get smacked down too.
Yeah.
But the reality is is that, you know, I I've told somebody before, and and don't get me wrong, but imagine, you know, if if you can go steal stuff, and there was never consequences.
There was never a jail time, there was never a punishment.
I mean, right?
It it takes the sting away from a bad thing.
And if you're Jen and you can go out there and say anything you want, and you know you're gonna get zero pushback, then why wouldn't you?
You're right.
I think of it.
I think about this all the time, and I'm like, okay, go out there and just say, you know, he believes this today, and it doesn't matter that it's completely and diametrically opposed to what we were told a couple days ago, because no one's gonna push back.
I mean, those guys are gonna go, okay, clearly it's adapted.
I mean, I I get a kick out of the fact that as long as you are in furtherance.
I mean, think about it.
I played this clip yesterday.
There were two clips over the weekend Fauci was asked about on the Sunday shows.
One is the president's in Kentucky, he's outside, yes, but he's hugging and and you know, uh kissing and uh close contact with all these people without math.
And Fauci gets asked about it, because oh, it's different because he's outside.
Okay, well, that's close is close, right?
Um, secondly, Harris says we weren't given the data on Omicron and these variants by the scientists.
Fauci says, I actually got it.
She was taken out of context.
No, she wasn't.
But there's zero pushback from the two hosts, Jonathan Carl and Chuck Todd, because they're like, oh, okay, keep going.
There's nothing ambiguous about what Harris said, and yet Fauci gets a pass because they don't want to push back and say, well, actually, no, that's not what she said.
This is the entirety of the quote.
There is no out of context.
Right.
But they they these guys literally, you know, um, if they if they say it on the left, and it comes to this whole farce about voting rights, too, that somehow the media has latched on to this false, ridiculous narrative that the Democrats are fighting for voting rights and Republicans are restricting them.
It's a false narrative, but you have a bunch of cheerleaders on the left that support the Democratic Party and their talking points, and so therefore they'll espouse and say anything, as they like to say without evidence.
Yeah, go to Sean Spicer.com right now, Sean Spicer.com, and we're right back on the Sean Hannity show.
Stay here.
When news broke earlier this year that baby KJ, a newborn in Philadelphia, had successfully received the world's first personalized gene editing treatment.
It represented a milestone for both researchers and patients.
But there's a gripping tale of discovery behind this accomplishment and its creators.
I'm Evan Ratliff, and together with biographer Walter Isaacson, we're delving into the story of Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Dowdna, the woman who's helped change the trajectory of humanity.
Listen to Aunt Crisper, the story of Jennifer Dowdna with Walter Isaacson on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
Sir Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hannity is on right now.
Lad to begin for Sean Hannity, it's Joe Pagli Rollow, Joe Pags.
Go to J-O-E-P-A-G-S.co M and a holding pattern for the 45th president of the United States.
A lot of people in the Sean Hannity audience know me uh because of the parodies that I do.
I take a song that you know, a song that you love, and I do my very best to ruin it and change it so that every time you hear the introduction of the song, you'll now hear my song instead.
Linda is complicit in this.
One of my one of my favorite things, and and literally the reason that we are friends.
Yes.
If I'm being honest.
And I'm totally excited.
I love your I really do truly love your parodies.
I actually think parodies are really hard because people love the song already, and you've got to be witty and funny and make the words fit, and it's it's not easy, and you do an awesome job.
Well, I appreciate that.
We're gonna see if we can do an awesome job here, or if I could change Linda's mind and start hitting them.
Uh because I took this one, which was presented by a family in North Pole, Alaska.
I kid you not.
And uh the 14-year-old daughter actually wrote out a parody.
I didn't sing her words, although I do give her one line, I think, in there.
Uh, but it was a great idea for a song, and it's it's a it's a holiday favorite.
It's a Christmas favorite.
Come on now.
Pag's parody.
Blame Joe.
Oh, the economy is frightful.
Under Trump, it was delightful.
Uh huh.
Will we get her gaps?
We don't know.
Just blame Joe, just plain Joe, just plain Joe.
The inflation isn't stopping.
Illegal entry is still popping.
Our country's morale is low.
Just plain Joe, sleepy Joe, sleepy Joe.
Bring it now.
Screwed up everything he's touched.
Build back better was his first task.
Yup.
Crazy policies are too much.
Joe should pucker up and kiss my ass.
Then circle back, gets to lion.
Wish we were all goodbye in to this admin that sung so low.
Sick of Joe, sick of Joe, sick of Joe.
Musical interlude.
So there you go.
You take a song that the family loves, you gather them around the tree, and then you hear some idiot on the radio talk about someone kissing their rear ends.
That's right.
Am I right?
It's kind of what we do.
Oh my god.
Alright, bring it home.
Let's go.
When he messed up Afghanistan.
All his minions pointed to Trump.
Didn't follow 45's plan.
Joe changed it all up with a jump.
Transition.
Will our country make you three more years?
As it is, we're fighting back tears.
Vote out the libs.
That's the goal.
Two stop Joe.
To stop Joe.
two-stop joe There you go.
Just play him Joe a Pag's parody.
I've got that posted over on Rumble where you can go and actually check it out.
I put the words on the screen as well, and uh, and you'll see me and all my glory looking like a doofus singing along with it.
So uh yeah, we can say the A word, I guess.
We can.
We just did.
We did.
Uh we officially did.
I don't think I don't think it's a maybe.
It's kind of a done deal.
Okay.
All right.
So there you go.
The FCC starts calling.
Hey, Linda said I could.
I don't know.
But it's gonna be on your website too, so we're gonna we're gonna start, we're gonna have a whole section just for Joe's parodies.
We're gonna put them up on the website.
It's it's gonna be great.
I love that.
All right, you're in a holding pattern for 45.
And again, we he historically runs a little bit late.
Wait, can I interrupt one second?
Please.
Because somebody made a really funny comment on your parodies, and they said last Christmas, I gave you my heart.
This Christmas I need the shot.
Sorry.
That's the that was the George Mike.
What is it?
Wham?
I don't know, one of those songs.
Very funny.
They're not bad.
I that is one of my least favorite songs for Christmas.
So ruining that.
I love that song.
I would love to ruin that song.
Let's ruin it.
Let's do it.
Was it George Michael or was it wham?
I think it's wham.
It might have been the same.
It might be it might have been when George Michaels just left Wham.
It could be.
It could be.
So we'll we'll take a look at that.
And again, holding pattern for Trump.
We appreciate you you guys hanging out today.
We've had listen, we've had bloated phone lines this entire day.
If you want to find out who the hell I am, just go to Joe Pags.com, J-O-E-P-A-G-S.
C O M. In for Sean Hannity today.
Brand new website, redesigned by Blair and by Linda.
I love what they've done.
Go and check it out.
People are signing up for the newsletter as well.
And uh let me grab a phone call here.
Might as well say hello and welcome to Bob, who's been holding a long time in Michigan.
Bob, what's on your mind?
Hi.
Hey, no problem.
Thanks for taking my call, Jump.
You bet.
Uh, let me set this up for you real quick to talk about some statistics and reinfections versus vaccinated individuals that get COVID.
Um I have I got COVID last spring and still have antibodies now 20 months later.
Um, and the media just does not discuss reinfection rate against the actual COVID numbers against the breakthroughs.
Finally, the Minnesota Department of Health, you can go check this on their website, has put out some stats.
As of November 1st, they had 725,129 total infections in Minnesota.
They also at that time had 8,184 COVID reinfections.
So 1.12% of the total cases were reinfected patients.
The closest number I could get to that was November 7th.
The total breakthrough infection to Minnesota was 116,237.
Right, which is 16.02%.
And that's just something that when you're trying to make a decision and nobody gives you all the facts, it's impossible to trust the individuals that are supposed to be informing you.
Well, well, the the the fact is uh the knowing that we're not considering those who have been infected before, knowing that we're not considering those who have antibodies, natural antibodies, uh, in this whole mandate thing or this push for a vaccination, that tells me something.
Because if they if they were to say, listen, if you had COVID, we know that you've already got some natural protection.
We're talking about a vaccination that maybe those who haven't been infected should consider.
If they said that, at least it would be closer to the truth.
It still isn't really scientific or isn't really medical.
And again, my body, my choice goes out the window.
I get to make my own health decisions, goes out the window.
The fact that we aren't allowed to even bring up the fact we might have a religious exemption, a medical exemption, or we've already had it.
So for God's sakes, let me go see the Broadway show or eat a slice of pizza in New York.
Um, that doesn't seem to matter.
It's very, very strange to me.
Let me go back at it.
Let me say hello and welcome to Jeff in Tennessee.
Jeff, talk to me.
Hi.
So thanks for having me on uh Will Trick and I'm the first responder and grew up in New York and a lot of uh here's the unfortunate thing.
Your cell phone sounds like garbage.
So we'll see if we can get to a better sell and if it clears up.
And if it does, I'm happy to take you back.
Sounds like you said you're a first responder at the at the World Trade Center.
I definitely want to talk to you, but I want that phone to sound good enough to where everybody can hear you.
Scott, North Carolina, hi.
Hey, this is Scott.
How you doing, Joe?
Living the dream.
Scott, talk to me.
What uh what an honor to be preceding Donald Trump.
It's an honor to have you on, my friend.
Thank you.
In the Bill Back Broke plan, the IRS will hire 87,000 new agents.
We don't have that many billionaires in this country.
So who is it these agents are gonna audit?
Small business seems to be the target.
And once these agents are hired, they'll never be fired.
Please get this out there for people to understand and what's your opinion on that?
Well, it is 87,000 IRS agents.
It's to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in the build back better BS.
Um for me, this is clear that this will be a new police force, a an enforcement group of people to make sure that you're paying not only every dime that you should be paying in taxes, but maybe even a little bit more.
You don't need eighty-seven thousand new IRS agents.
You don't need more enforcement when it comes to the fleecing and over taxation of Americans.
That isn't something that we need.
But again, when you ask about build back better BS, what you're told is, but it's it's schools for children.
It's roads with no potholes.
It's pre-K for everyone.
It's libraries.
Why do you hate children?
That's what you'll what you'll hear.
That's the that's what they they use as leverage, because they know that we love kids.
They know that we want better for our children.
But the vast majority of this goes to nothing having to do with infrastructure, nothing having to do with making families' lives better.
I mean, in fact, three billion I think it's three billion dollars for tree equity.
The hell's tree equity.
Trees are being treated unfairly.
Social justice for trees, what are we talking about?
It turns out if there aren't enough trees in black neighborhoods or not the same amount in minority neighborhoods as there are in white neighborhoods, that's a lack of tree equity, and we should fix that to the tune of fleecing American American citizens through taxation or regulation.
I kid you not.
These are all real things.
Let me go back at it and say hello and welcome to line one.
It's gonna be Kelly, who is in South Dakota.
Kelly, talk to me.
Hi.
Yes, sir.
Hi.
Yeah, I was just wondering.
All those illegal aliens that are coming on the planes, and we don't know where they're going.
Yeah.
Uh, do they double mask or triple?
I think it was a quadruple mask, and the fact that you're asking about it means it could mean that.
Uh at the end of the day, Kelly, I appreciate you.
Um You have to have it ready, Linda.
You have to have it ready to go when somebody dares question those wonderful people coming from How dare you everywhere else.
You can't call them out.
Don't make me have Heraldo on the show to tell us about host the Browns.
Oh, don't even get me started on that.
I can't.
Don't make me break him up.
I'll call Haraldo right now.
Tell him to put a shirt on, and then we'll have him and then we'll we'll we'll break down the illegal immigration issues.
Listen, it's a great point.
People are coming across with COVID, we're afraid to test them.
People are coming across unvaccinated.
That's fine.
That's completely cool.
People coming across, no masking, they're not gonna wear masks, and we're putting on planes for free, and they're beating up those who are on the planes there to get them to their next uh destination.
And let's be let's be clear about one thing.
It's not free.
It's free to them.
It costs us a lot.
A lot.
And it's definitely coming out of us.
And if you say, I don't want to pay for these flights, you are in fact the big R. You're a racist, and you're gonna be called out on it.
It is uh uh the Sean Hannity show.
Make sure you keep it right here.
We're still in a holding pattern for 45.
He he said he was coming on, he's a man of his word.
I don't know that he knows the show is ending at the top of the hour, so hopefully we'll get him on still.
It's one eight hundred nine four one Sean, one eight hundred nine four one seven three two six.
Uh, you go to my website, Joe Pags.com, follow me on all the social media, send me an email, and we're back after this on the Sean Hannity show.
here.
Firing torpedoes of truth at a wall of lies.
This is the Sean.
If you missed any of Sean's show today, catch up tonight on demand at 710 W O R dot com slash podcast.
Glad to have you.
Appreciate you stopping by.
Just a word uh the 45th president of the United States looks like he's not gonna make it during the show.
If he calls in after the show, I'll do the interview, I'll bring it on my show tomorrow.
I've had him on my program uh and other programs eleven times.
He's a man of his word, so something it must have been some sort of a mix-up in the lines.
And we'll get to the bottom of it, we'll bring him to you as soon as we can.
But frankly, if you called right now, um we would have two minutes, and it just wouldn't make any sense.
So I'll do my best to get that interview.
We'll bring it to you.
Go to Joe Pags.com, we'll announce it there where we have it, when we're gonna have it.
Uh, I do appreciate your understanding.
He's a man of his word.
Something must have happened where he had a big meeting or something something happened to where he had to make sure he took care of it, and uh and he wouldn't stand me up otherwise.
Let me go to the phone lines in the meantime.
Let me go to uh Felix in Pennsylvania.
Felix, what's going on?
Hi.
Hey, Joe, listen, I want to blame the conservatives for everything that's going on.
Okay, go ahead.
Okay.
Even guys like Rush, everyone said that big farm is gonna save us.
Basically, they also have surrendered our constitutional rights to the corporate interest.
In other words, in the name of freedom, they sat there and said that employers, you know, have the freedom to do as they choose.
So they can sit there, you know, and and basically talking about it.
A lot of a lot of generalities so far, Felix.
A lot of generalities.
You want to give me something specific before I let you go?
Because so far you're just you're hating on people for no reason.
You haven't said a specifically what your issue is.
But you know, even the whole Russia collusion thing, it was because of Jeff Sessions, you know, and and the Republicans who who held the house and held everything for two years.
They enabled the whole thing.
You know, they they could have put a stop to it, but they didn't.
Okay.
And as far as the pharmaceutical indust industry goes, with these these mandated shots, I mean, everything that would that comes from alternatives, you know, and everything's being hidden, but we've given the power up, and now the the pharmaceutical industry is.
Give me one conservative.
Felix, stop.
I'm not gonna just like a yeah.
Give me give me one conservative who said I'm for vaccine mandates.
Go ahead.
No, not for vaccine, not for vaccine mandates.
Well, that's what you just said.
You just said as far as all these vaccine mandates.
Oh no, no, no.
No, no, you actually said that.
Not the vaccine mandate, so well, I'm sorry, I lost him.
Yeah, darn it.
Oh, is that me yelling get off the phone?
Felix, listen, dude.
I am more than willing to have a debate.
But when somebody calls in and generalizes and says conservatives are just as much to blame.
Now I want you to tell me how.
Well, even Rush said.
Well, what did Rush say?
Rush said go in and get a vaccine because it's mandated by the government.
Rush said, give up your freedom, your liberty, and your health choices.
Really?
Rush Limbaugh said that?
Please show me when he said that.
All of his shows are uh are available online.
Every transcript transcript from every show is online.
I would love to see when he said that.
The fact is he didn't.
And you know that he didn't.
Now, Jeff Sessions should not have recused himself.
You and I will agree to that.
Trump and I agree on that.
Sessions was the attorney general.
He should have stayed there and kept on being the attorney general.
The fact that he was somebody who said, yeah, vote for Donald Trump did not mean he couldn't do his job when it came to the live Russia collusion.
So we agree on Jeff Sessions.
But to say conservatives are supporting the pharmaceutical industrial complex, and then you did say by sort of standing by and allowing for these vaccine mandates.
That's when I need you to be specific.
Here's the conservative that said it.
Here's when he or she said it, and here's how they said it.
The fact is you couldn't you couldn't back that up.
All right, I've got a very short amount of time, but uh, but I'm gonna take you, Tanya.
Tanya Atlanta.
One minute, it's all yours.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Come on, Tanya.
I would just like to say that um I think that the media has over overrated the COVID-19.
They're there's a 99% recovery rate.
Okay.
The um media, they scare people 24, seven days a week.
Oh yeah, including the conservative shows as well.
There's nobody there but the late night shows by Hannity and Ingram and Tucker, who actually give people a little hope that this COVID is to bring down America and to a socialist third world country.
Tanya, I appreciate you.
It's all the time I have.
Um, you make good points.
I don't think the media is overblowing it, but they certainly aren't telling the truth about it.
It's important to know the details of COVID-19, where it came from, why it's here, why it's affecting us the way that it is, and what we do next.
And what we need is real information, and Hannity is giving real information.
I do my best to give real information, and you're right, a lot of the other media is simply not.
We gotta get out of here.
We gotta get going.
I appreciate hanging out.
I appreciate being in for Sean Hannity.
I appreciate Linda like crazy.
She knows that.
I appreciate uh Ethan getting it done, and I appreciate you listening today.
