Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Normally I'm on our big flagship station uh in New York, the number one talk station, WOR.
Normally I'm on 10 to noon, but I didn't do my show today because I have to use up all these days off.
So uh normally I'm on 10 to noon, so I can't watch the view.
So today at 11 o'clock, I watched the view.
Linda, have you ever watched the view?
It is frightening.
They are Oh, I stopped watching the view a long time ago when they didn't put a muzzle on Joy Behar.
Well that was it for me.
She's just rabid.
Yeah, I haven't seen it in years, but it is really dopey.
I mean, it's the stupidest discussion of ever.
No wonder they like Joe Biden.
Well, they get their cue cards from the same person, you know.
They make them up for Biden, then they pass them over to Behar.
Bay f Behar shows them to the rest of the crew, and they all sit there and read from their cue cards, not thinking for themselves.
Yes, and when they do, it gets more scary because that's when they they sort of go off card.
You're like, oh geez, here we go.
It's amazing to watch.
I mean, don't you can only watch for like a minute and then you just get sick and you you turn it off.
And they have said some of the dumbest things.
Remember my my favorite was when they needed a surgeon general for the Biden administration and they were looking for a top doctor, and Joy Behar said, What about Dr. Jill Biden?
She's one of the best doctors in America.
And the panel had a whisper to her.
She's an English teacher.
She's a she's not a good one.
That's a PhD joy PhD.
Well, no, actually, I think it's an E. What is it?
An EHD or something.
Oh, yeah, you are right.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
She actually is uh a doctor of education and teaches at a community college.
And uh if you look at how she got that doctorate, even that was a little questionable.
You know, you have to write a thesis, and people have looked at that thesis as it's uh you know, it's like borderline literate, but it was a college heavily depending on government financing that Joe Biden controlled, and he came with her to the where the panel goes over the thesis and sat with her.
A highly unusual move, but that uh led to her uh doctor of education degree.
So uh hey, this Bette Midler thing, it's uh I mean that really said a lot.
Bette Midler, after Joe Manchin uh knocks down the bill, tweets out this is he's gonna do for us what he did for Virginia.
It's just like West Virginia, where it's uh uh everybody's illiterate and uh uh she didn't say stoned.
What did she say?
Strung out.
Everybody's a literate and strung out.
That's what they think of America, these Hollywood elitists, this creepy elitist Bette Midler.
They think you're all illiterate and strung out and uh Well, remember when she made fun of Melania because of the way that she had a an accent when she spoke English.
And she said, Oh, we have a first lady who can't even speak English.
I'm like, this woman has two master's degrees and speaks seven languages.
Yeah.
You're a singer.
And a sometimes actress.
Like take it easy.
Yeah, in defense of Bette Midler, her IQ's probably 95, maybe.
Oh gosh.
Maybe the high nineties.
That's about it.
But uh, you know, I uh uh actually Larry Cudlow check, he'll be with us in a second, but I was watching his show.
Uh the literacy literacy rate in West Virginia is 87%.
In California, it's 77%.
So California is actually more illiterate than West Virginia.
And she's really trying to claim there's uh more people on drugs in West Virginia than in Hollywood.
She's really gonna try to make that claim.
Uh I don't think it works, but it was real insight into uh uh those Hollywood elitists and what they think of uh real people.
They just never see any real people.
They live in this little bubble of Hollywood and then come to New York and then they go to Palm Beach and maybe they're in London.
They're never they've never been in a 7-Eleven or any actual real place and met any real people.
Do we find Larry Cudlow?
I am on the phone with him as we speak.
Oh, okay.
The great Larry Cudlow, of course, who was a big part of the Trump administration.
And uh he does a great show every day on the Fox Business Network.
This is must watch television every day from four to five.
And if for some reason you can't watch it, just TiVo it, and you can watch it that way.
Larry Cudlow, how are you doing?
I'm good, Mark.
How are you?
Very good.
Doing well.
Uh what's a what's going to happen to this country?
What's going to happen in the midterms?
Is it going to be a slaughter?
I hope.
Save America.
Kill the bill.
And kill and kill any new bills that they try to put in.
You know, I think look, I think it looks great next year, because I think the country just really rejects Biden.
They reject him personally and they reject his policies.
That's the whole reason this uh build back broke thing went down.
Yeah.
And it's not just it's not just Mansion.
There's a few other senators, Democrats behind Manchin that have been keeping a low profile, but they wouldn't vote for it either.
And Schumer thinks uh Schumer thinks he's gonna run the same bill for a real vote probably sometime in late January or February, and I'm telling you, it'll lose.
It's gonna lose.
And the country just doesn't want this transformational, woke spending, inflation, you know, free no borders.
They just don't want it.
And we can trust Manchin to stay strong.
Well, I think so.
Look, um I mean all they do is yell at him.
I mean, it's amazing to me.
The White House practically call him a liar.
And you know, this uh Madam Saki bag dad Bob uh throws a temper tantrum at him after he was on the Sunday news show, and uh he's treated very badly.
I mean, look, I had McConnell, Mitch McConnell was on our show tonight, and they are wooing him to cross the line and become a Republican, but I think Cinema is also uh hanging tough.
She doesn't get as much visibility, but she's hanging tough.
So can we count on him?
We can certainly count on him to vote against this bill, what's that's called the House version, which is the White House version.
Um future bills, I I just look, he doesn't want to spend any money.
Nobody do you want to I don't want to spend any money, it's all inflationary.
And you know, today is the fourth anniversary, Mark, of the Trump tax cut today.
We ran some clips on it tonight, and um, you know, he they worked, they generated prosperity, uh, minority unemployment was a 50-year low.
Uh the middle class got the biggest income and wealth gains, much better than the top one percent.
I mean, he really launched prosperity.
And I think that's what people want.
They don't want higher taxes, they want lower taxes.
We should make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
You know, you know, when Biden ran, it was all about change the tone and change the tone and but he changed the policy.
He should have kept the policy and changed the tone.
Um his tone just as angry as anybody.
So uh I think that was his mistake.
Well, you know, I yearn, I yearn for the calm, placid days of Donald Trump after watching Biden.
Uh I know there are a few tweets too many, but look, uh, his policies worked.
I mean, that's we spent some time on that tonight.
And um, I think people know that.
And what was there?
Some more uh one of these liberal polls came out, and independents have dropped out of sight on on Biden.
It's just, you know, people are sending him a message, and I think you and I talked about he's no Clinton.
He's not gonna change.
He's not gonna get up there and say the era of big government is over.
He's gonna stay with this woke stuff, and it's killing him, and I think it's really unpopular.
You know the most frightening thing.
If you look at the Trump White House, you had brilliant people there in that cabinet room.
You, you had Ben Carson, you had Manuchin, you had these brilliant minds, top guys at work.
You look at this uh Biden cabinet, they're just mediocre, silly people like Buddig and uh Granholm and uh uh even Lloyd Austin.
How are we gonna survive that?
Yeah, no, that's an interesting point.
Um, you know, we had Mike Pompeo, we had Robert O'Brien, as you say, we had Ben Carson, my friend Steve Minutian at Treasury.
It was a very strong group, and uh a group that accomplished a lot.
And um I've always thought I mean look, you give him a honeymoon for the first month or two, but it just what you've got here is a very weak ideologically left-driven group with very little or no what I would call real-world business experience.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it's like like Manutian was in business, I was in business.
Yeah.
Uh Carson actually was a brilliant doctor, but he was also in business.
Pompeo was in business, and of course, Trump himself was in business.
I mean, Biden's never in any business.
So there's no common sense to this gang.
They're all ideologically let.
And they have a tin political ear, don't they?
Yeah, and even simple things.
Can you imagine Donald Trump having a supply chain crisis and not knowing what to do?
He'd have that fixed in two days.
Yeah, he'd knock heads together, which I watched him do many times.
I mean, the FDA finally approved what they approved today, the Pfizer pills.
But Trump would have had that done months ago.
In fact, I watched him run roughshod over the FDA when we were off, you know, doing Operation Warfish, and he knew how to cut through.
And uh Trump would bring business people in and work with them.
How do we get this done?
How do we get that done?
We'll do this, you do that.
Biden brings business people in, Mark, and he lectures to them.
He lectures to them.
You know, there's a big difference there.
And we had public-private uh activity.
We had it before the pandemic, but certainly during the pandemic.
And you you get reports from these Biden meetings with business people, and apparently he just kind of tells them you do you do this, and you know, we're gonna we're gonna have climate change and this and that.
And that's just not the way to do it.
They don't believe in the private sector.
They don't believe in um free market capitalism, some of the worst appointees and noms I've ever seen.
Again, people who go in there, whether it's the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, you know, this crazy Moscow State University lady was gonna be the banking commissioner.
They're putting people in who hate the areas they're regulating, right?
So you can't do anything constructive.
My new hero is Elon Musk.
Why would they go after Elon Musk?
If you're worried about climate change, this is the guy that'll probably come up with the answer.
Yeah.
By the way, did you see the latest stuff he said on this interview?
Yeah, he said woke is divisive, it's hatred, it's uh he's absolutely right.
I loved it.
You know, he's I know him.
We did a little business when I was in the White House, but uh I think when he speaks, he's really hurting the woke side.
I don't know, there's something about him, maybe it's because of his standing and the fact that he uh you know produces more electric cars than anybody, so he has climate, but he's hurt them a lot in this lot with Elizabeth Warren, so she calls him a freeloader, right?
And then he's gonna he's gonna pay eleven billion in taxes.
It's probably the largest, I think it is the largest single tax bill for an individual in our history.
And she's calling him a freeloader and a tax chief.
I love that.
11 billion in taxes.
Yeah, I could see him in uh you know, Donald Trump 2024, uh Elon Musk 2028.
He'd be great.
Yeah, I'd love to see Elon Musk running the Fed or the Treasury or something.
It would just be he's a very uh interesting guy, Musk, real smart, super smart, uh, but he's opposing Biden's policies.
He doesn't want subsidies.
Uh he took subsidies a few years ago, but he's doesn't want them anymore for his electric cars or the electric gas stations and stuff.
He's a fascinating figure.
But I think his attack on woke uh really gets a lot of play, Mark, you know.
Yeah.
Well, he's he's become a very important figure.
Uh We're out of time, but everybody should watch Cudlow.
It's a great show.
Number one on the Fox Business Network.
An excellent show.
Every day, four to five.
If for some reason you can't watch it, make sure you set your TiVo, the Cudlow every day at four.
Larry Cudlow, thanks for being with us.
Thanks, Mark.
Love, love, love.
Merry Cup.
Take care.
Yeah, it's a great show every day.

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.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, we'll take some calls.
1-800-941 Sean is the number.
Let's go to uh let's go to Mark, who's calling from Montana.
Mark, how you doing?
Mark, you there?
Good, Mark.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What'd you want to say, Mark?
Yes, sir.
You there?
Yeah.
Hey, uh, you had a caller uh ask about HIPAA and civil rights laws.
Yeah.
Um, in Montana, House Bill 702.
They framed it under civil rights legislation.
So vaccine mandate or vaccine status.
So I thought I'd just update your listeners.
All right.
Thanks for calling.
You know, the real problem is uh, especially here in New York, you've got to show this vaccine card uh to get into a restaurant.
But if you've had the virus, you got a lot of immunity.
There's no card for that.
That's a major flaw.
Uh the Omicron variant, which is now all over the place in New York.
In fact, they say it's 90% of all the cases in New York.
Uh it's very mild cases.
And the incubation period is much shorter.
You know, the incubation used to be five days, seven days, with the Omicron uh incubation, now pretty much three days.
That's very, very fast.
Uh we have time for another one.
We'll take some more calls uh when we come back after the break.
But uh, hey, this woman just died in China, 135 years old.
Oldest woman in the world.
135.
I mean, think about that.
Middle aged for her was like 70, 75 years old.
That's unbelievable.
135.
The candles cost more than the cake at her birthday.
That's an amazing thing.
She was born in 1886.
1886, so uh, you know, you watch those old westerns on TV.
She was there for the course, she was in China.
If you were there in 1886 and today, uh, and not much changed.
It looks pretty much the same in a lot of China.
Uh anyway, uh, we'll take some calls after the break.
1-800-941-Shawn is the number.
1-800-941-Shawn.
It's Mark Simone from our flagship station in New York, W-O-R for Sean Hannity, taking a few days off at Christmas time.
We'll take some calls next.
Don't forget, check out Hannity.com.

There are currently two million American spouses and children whose family member was killed or disabled in defense of our country.
Which is why I founded the Folds of Honor.
Providing educational scholarships to the families of one percent of the Americans who protect our freedom.
Thank you for supporting the Folds of Honor.
Thank you for supporting the Fold of Honor.
Please join our squadron today.
Your $13 a month speaks volumes and changes lives forever.
When news breaks, you get the inside story that no one else has.
And the behind the scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
Hey, uh now this is interesting.
The progressives, the squad, all these nutjobs are all now demanding Biden take radical executive action.
They don't want to lose this uh spending agenda.
They're demanding that he do something.
So uh this is all great going into the midterms.
These lunatics taking over, pushing him around.
Uh so uh you got uh AOC and the rest of the squad demanding an assault on the filibuster, an assault on everything.
So that's the great thing about uh woke idiots.
When uh when it doesn't look good, they go even further to the left.
They go more radical, more nuts, and uh you've already seen some people peel away from this.
Look at the uh San Francisco mayor, who's now saying it's ridiculous to defund the police.
I gotta stop this.
We've got to start putting back the police, fighting crime.
You got the mayor of Chicago saying that stuff.
So they're starting to realize they're just walking off a cliff with this woke nonsense.
And you look at the numbers, it doesn't lie.
People fleeing California, fleeing New York, people moving to Texas, moving to Florida, and uh people in Florida, well, they're starting to worry, you get too many New Yorkers down there.
Might turn Florida a little blue.
No, that's not the case.
They know why they fled.
To get rid of the get away from the taxes, the crime, all that stuff.
So it's it's uh the numbers don't lie.
It's pretty obvious what's happening.
The whole tide is turning slowly, but it's turning.
And uh Kamala Harris, I'd watch out if I were you.
Uh, you know, he's uh I don't know how you get rid of a vice president, but I think they're already thinking they gotta replace her with somebody else.
Uh I don't know exactly how you do it.
You come up with something.
This talk of appointing you the Supreme Court or something like that.
Uh Joe Biden just gave away his dog.
Now that tells you everything.
You remember that one dog that kept barking and biting and think he just gave the dog away.
It's gone.
The dog's gone.
A guy will give away his dog.
We'll switch vice president, so don't worry about it.
I got a new dog, this one three months old, uh, small enough so that it uh it won't attack Joe Bob.
Let's take some calls.
Let's go to uh Bobby in Missouri.
Bobby, how are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
Very good, Bobby.
What'd you want to say?
Well, I wanted to echo what Linda has said.
She's been spot on on this.
Uh I'm a lifelong GOP voter.
And I don't know who I'm voting for in this next election because they have lied and lied and lied and went back on their word so many times.
I don't know that I can vote for them again.
Well, you're talking about for the presidency?
I'm talking about midterms.
Oh, midterms.
Well, uh did Linda say that?
Are you echoing what you're saying?
Yeah, I said that.
You did say that.
Well, yeah, uh, okay, you can't trust any of these people.
But you're gonna be better off with Republicans just to make sure Pelosi doesn't have control, uh just to make sure uh Schumer doesn't have any you're better off with Republicans.
Wouldn't you agree to that?
We're really not.
There's not any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
The the Republicans and the Democrats came after the one guy that we had that was on our side, Trump.
There's I see no difference in between them, and there's a lot of people like me out there.
Okay, but if I simple thing, you want somebody running the committee, you want AOC, you want Adam Schiff run the committee, or you want Jim Jordan running the committee.
They're running it now.
All right.
Well, thanks for calling.
Uh uh I I know what you're saying.
I know what you're saying.
Can I can I jump in for a second?
Can I give you my two cents?
Oh, yeah.
Oh my god.
It's really quick.
You can thank Biden inflation for that.
Yeah.
All I'm saying is when Republicans had control.
They didn't do anything with it.
And that's the problem with our party.
We have a lot of people that get in good positions, and then they don't do a lot with it.
You know, part of being in those positions is to actually do something with the power when you have it.
And they didn't.
Well, that's why you gotta have a Newt Gingrich contract with America.
Here's the 15 things we'll do.
Here's the schedule for when we'll do them.
But uh you're right.
Who well, who's the leader in Congress?
Who who's the Newt Gingrich who can do all this?
You know, I honestly I really like Tom Cotton.
I I love DeSantis when he was in Congress.
I love Jim Banks.
I think a lot of the people in our in our Congress that have served have a certain level of understanding of the collective good that others don't.
It doesn't mean that they're not worthy.
It just means that when you're willing to put your life on the line for your country, I think that there's a lot to be said for that.
You know, Jim Banks has been out there sort of really just putting his, you know, putting his actions behind his words, unlike anybody else that I've seen in a very long time.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see.
It's we got uh we got uh 11 months till uh the midterm elections.
It's gonna be a fascinating eleven months.
That's just to see what Biden tries to do.
If the Democrats try to pivot, if they try to scramble back to the center, we'll see.
Uh let's go to Don in Sacramento.
Don, how you doing?
Oh, very good, my pleasure to talk to you.
Mark, uh, I was gonna talk about the cornpot thing, but uh I think you're a little more serious than talking about the Ukraine.
I'm uh old veteran and uh all this and I say history, you know, college and that, but yeah.
This is what I think Putin should do.
This is what I think Putin should do.
I don't think Putin cares anything about economic sanctions, either do the Chinese, you know, dictator.
What what you know what I'm saying?
But anyway, what I would do, considering that NATO, everything like it is, is that I would just keep building troops up.
I just keep pulling troops up, keep pulling troops up, and NATO is gonna keep, you know, uh Jimmerjam or whatever you say like that.
And I have uh China come up at the end, China to move a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit to throw to throw that right at the last moment, and then uh tell Ukraine, hey, throw your weapons down, give up, or I'm coming in with all these things, everybody's gonna die.
Well, you're probably not wrong there, Don.
Uh there's some people who think China will act, you know, take Taiwan, Russia will act, uh take Crimea all on the same day.
They'll just both do it simultaneously, they'll coordinate it.
Uh if you're our enemy and you look at Biden, obviously he's weak, doesn't know where he is, he's bumping into the walls, you have no vice president, you got this giggling uh woman who's but not even there, just out to lunch and out of the office, and you got uh the worst cabinet ever.
You got the dumbest Secretary of defense we've ever had, Lloyd Austin.
You got the totally useless General Millie.
If there was ever a moment to act, obviously this is it.
Uh Linda, why did you say you thought it would be you thought it'd be in January?
I think there's a lot of movement happening.
I don't think that the rest of the world is beholden to America right now.
We don't have any leadership, we don't have any clue what we're doing, and the people that do have a clue are not in positions of power to actually do it.
You know, when Donald Trump was in office and he said, Um, you're gonna need to sit down for a little bit because you're starting to get on my nerves.
They sat down.
When he said I'm gonna make a call, they answered.
You know, Biden doesn't even know where the phone is.
We're we're an embarrassment.
But why would you act uh China the Olympics?
You don't want to screw that up, or maybe I don't think they give a crap about the Olympics.
No, that could be.
I mean, look what they did to that poor girl who spoke out against the guy that was sexually assaulting her.
She disappeared for two and a half months, and then suddenly she's given out a statement saying it was all fake and she didn't mean any of it.
They don't care about anything.
No, you're right.
Sorry.
Merry Christmas.
I apologize.
Merry Christmas.
Uh anyway, let's take some more calls.
Let's go to Tony in North Carolina.
Tony, how are you doing?
Yeah, how are you doing, Mark?
Good.
Want to say Merry Christmas to you.
Uh never spoke with you, but uh I was in the military, Iraq and Afghanistan, and God bless our troops.
And uh I don't understand why they call this vaccination uh this COVID vaccine a vaccine hasn't been proven.
There's too many breakthrough cases.
We've we've we've got vaccines like measles, smallpox, poory.
Yeah.
You get a vaccine and you can't get it.
So you've got all these breakthrough cases.
So it is just like a flu shot.
They called a flu vaccine.
All right.
I know you got a point, but I like the vaccine.
I got uh three of them.
I like the vaccine.
You can get a breakthrough case.
But uh 90 percent 99% of the time you get a much, much milder case, so it uh it's worth getting.
But it's up to you.
I mean you gotta make your own your own decisions.
A lot of people just anti anti-vaccines of all kinds, and I understand that, but I I like the vaccines.
Linda, you're vaccinated, right?
Sorry, what did you say?
I said uh this is getting tiring this show.
So what time is it?
Almost over.
I'm answering the phone, too, you know.
Oh, I didn't know you were screening the calls.
I got America on the hold.
You know, what was the question?
I apologize.
You're actually screening the calls.
I am screening the calls and talking to America.
How long's it been since you've screened calls?
Uh remember how to do it?
It's b first of all unless you want that dollar fifty piece of mind, you gotta take it easy.
Well, normally Linda doesn't screen calls this.
I don't, but it's staff of people.
It's been a long time, and I gave everybody off for Christmas, so we got a skeleton crew here.
It's me and Ethan.
Oh, okay.
Well, there you go.
All right.
Well, back back to the weed we'll let you screen.
It's fun.
Yeah, no, it is.
You want to call it 1800-941 Sean, 1800-941 Sean.
Uh hey, oh, here's some good news.
Uh, General Flynn is gonna sue the January 6th Commission, it's gonna sue Nancy Pelosi.
You know, you gotta start fighting back, and you gotta go into courtrooms.
We have an attorney general in New York State who's just nuts and fixated this weird, bizarre fixation on Donald Trump, and uh he is now suing her.
This attorney general in New York for years now has been investigating the Trump organization.
We had a district attorney in New York, same thing.
And you remember they got a f they went to every court and finally in the final court, they won and they could get his tax returns.
And if you were if you remember back in January, they showed on the news here's the tax returns being delivered.
You know, Donald Trump's tax returns is like a for ten years, it's like three million pages.
So they showed a moving van with forklifts bringing in this tax return.
And the New York District Attorney got it.
They brought in forensic accountants to go over these tax forms.
That took about three months.
And you'll notice at the end of the three months, no charges, nothing.
They've investigated every inch of the Trump corporation.
They keep investigating.
He hasn't gotten so much as a parking ticket after all this stuff.
So the New York Attorney General is can continuing.
You remember one phone, they couldn't find anything.
They couldn't find anything criminal anywhere, so they're finally they went after uh one executive in the Trump organization.
He was using a company car.
Well, that happens everywhere in every company.
Well, wait a minute, he was using a company apartment, but that that happens all the time too.
And meanwhile, Hunter Biden is out there with Kraken Horse.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
But hey, that's not a big deal.
He's an artist, okay?
Yeah, he's a regular Da Vinci.
Yeah, we got Picasso over here.
Yeah.
So they can't find anything in the Trump organization, but they keep going.
He's now going to court, he's gonna sue her, and I think she loses badly because there's a video montage of her running her first getting in office saying that she was gonna tar she actually said this.
She was gonna target Donald Trump.
She was gonna find something on Donald Trump, she was gonna keep looking.
That's gonna look very bad in front of any jury, even in New York.
So, and and in the middle of all that, Hunter Biden, uh who knows?
Hunter Biden may have made a hundred million already on this fake art scheme, uh, which is an old scheme, by the way.
It goes back to the nineteen fifties.
Uh, years ago in radio, they had what was called Payola.
You slip the disjunkie ten thousand bucks and he'd play your record.
Well, then they made it illegal.
I think it was nineteen fifty eight.
They made that totally illegal.
What happened was a lot of radio guys opened art galleries and uh they couldn't take the money, but they'd say, you know, I have an art gallery here.
Why don't you go buy a painting?
And you'd buy a junk painting for $10,000.
Now I know that from reading the history of rock and roll.
I'm sure that's where Hunter got it.
It's a scheme.
Uh nobody's investigating.
When they tell you, well, don't worry, we'll keep the buyers secret.
That makes it even more dangerous.
That makes it even more of a scheme.
Anyway, we'll take some calls in a minute.
1-800-941-Shawn is the number.
1-800-941 Sean.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Welcome back.
It's the Sean Hannity Show.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Oh, I gotta correct myself.
And I keep forgetting this.
I always I said Elon Musk, great president, presidential candidate.
He was born in South Africa.
He can't run for president.
Wasn't born in the in the country.
I he one problem.
So uh but uh he's still great.
He's follow him on uh Twitter, he's great there.
And Elizabeth Warren, I don't know how she got away with this.
That's stupid.
Uh he doesn't pay any taxes.
He only paid $60,000 and said he paid $11 billion last year in taxes.
That's a heck of a mistake to make.
Anyway, let's take some calls.
Let's go to Terry Ann in Tennessee.
Terry Ann, how you doing?
Hi.
Hi, Terry Ann, what'd you want to say?
I just wanted to say I agree that we need to get as many Republicans in there as we can, but we need to be careful and actually vet these people.
Because they get in there and they're not really Republicans, and I the Democrats infiltrate everything from wondering if they're not sending quote unquote Republican people that aren't really Republicans.
I think we need to do a better job of vetting the people we're voting for.
All right, that's a good point.
You know, the other problem you have is you gotta you it used to be that a lot of people want to run for Senate, run for office, and the uh the vicious rotten media just scared everybody away.
You know, a lot of CEOs through the years thought about running from uh Lee Iakoca to Jack Welch to well, when they see what happened to Donald Trump, who's gonna run?
You know, Dr. Oz is running, and uh, everybody keeps warning him.
Uh, but he's a brave guy, he's gonna do it.
I I mean I hate to say it, but who knows what'll happen to Dr. Oz's fine reputation when the uh Democrat media complex gets done with him.
It could get ugly.
I hate to I hate to see that happen to one.
He's a great guy.
Uh we're just about out of time.
Uh Sean will be back uh uh in in a few days.
We've got a lot of great shows here.
Linda, who's here tomorrow?
Tomorrow we have the best of Sean Hannity.
Wow.
They were gonna do the best of Mark Simone, but they couldn't find any, so that's that's not true.
You're like the number one show.
Get out of here.
Oh, uh well, that's true.
