=== America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines (02:39) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart Podcast.
[00:00:31]  Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.
[00:00:35]  For God's sake, this man cannot remain powerful.
[00:00:39]  So let's give this peace project the focus and the commitment and the resources of a wartime effort.
[00:00:48]  Our Marshall Plan.
[00:00:50]  Freedom is back in style.
[00:00:53]  Welcome to the Revolution.
[00:01:04]  Sean Hannity.
[00:01:06]  The new Sean Hannity Show.
[00:01:08]  More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
[00:01:17]  This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
[00:01:24]  America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
[00:01:28]  Hey, number 228.
[00:01:32]  All right, simple man, Leonard Skinner.
[00:02:00]  That only means one thing, and that's all things Bill O'Reilly, allthings O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
[00:02:06]  Oh, Joey got his second booster shot on TV today.
[00:02:11]  Maybe somebody needs to tell the guy that variant number two is coming because they said, oh, we didn't see Omicron coming.
[00:02:18]  And maybe somebody needs to inform him that if you're vaccinated fully and you get a booster and you even get a second booster and you even had COVID previously, a prior infection, you could still get it and transmit it.
[00:02:32]  That's the big news.
[00:02:33]  That's why I keep saying therapeutics, monoclonal antibodies.
[00:02:36]  Anyway, we welcome all things Bill O'Reilly, sir.

=== Why Fame Is Overrated (14:51) ===

[00:02:40]  How are you?
[00:02:40]  Glad to talk to you again.
[00:02:42]  What's going on?
[00:02:42]  Do you think Putin's vaccinated?
[00:02:46]  No, he just has that long, the longest table in the history of mankind.
[00:02:50]  That's right.
[00:02:50]  Nobody will hang with Putin.
[00:02:52]  Nobody's allowed to hang with Putin.
[00:02:54]  That's right.
[00:02:55]  So let me, before we get to Putin, I want to ask you first something else.
[00:02:58]  I want to ask you, all right, so we got, I'm sure you weren't watching.
[00:03:01]  I wasn't watching at the time, but I didn't see it till the next morning.
[00:03:06]  The slap heard around the world.
[00:03:07]  I'm just, I'm dying to get your take on this.
[00:03:10]  One thing that does surprise me is that two-thirds of Americans think Will Smith should be arrested.
[00:03:18]  I don't believe that, Paul.
[00:03:19]  I don't believe any of it.
[00:03:20]  It's all motion now.
[00:03:22]  It's all internet driven.
[00:03:24]  I like Chris Rock.
[00:03:25]  I think Will Smith's kind of weird.
[00:03:27]  Yeah, I heard your commentary that you ran at the rock one time and he was an okay guy.
[00:03:31]  I know Smith a little bit.
[00:03:34]  He's weird.
[00:03:34]  You want my take or do you want me to just riff?
[00:03:37]  We'll riff.
[00:03:37]  I could riff.
[00:03:38]  No, no, no.
[00:03:39]  I want your take.
[00:03:40]  Okay.
[00:03:40]  So I'm working on a project now that's going to surprise a lot of people and it's about fame.
[00:03:47]  So you're famous, I'm famous.
[00:03:50]  And I always thought that it would be fun to be famous when I was an urchin.
[00:03:56]  And I worked hard to become famous.
[00:03:58]  And I sacrificed a lot.
[00:04:01]  And then when I became famous, I found out that a lot of people wanted to hurt me.
[00:04:07]  And that in order to keep my fame, I had to keep my enterprises at a certain level, which is stressful.
[00:04:15]  And so fame became a two-headed coin for me.
[00:04:22]  So it's good to be able to make a lot of money, provide security for your family.
[00:04:27]  It's good to be able to, you know, get things done that you want to get things done because people will respond to a famous person.
[00:04:35]  That's good.
[00:04:36]  But fame brings a dark side.
[00:04:41]  And when you and I go into the arena of politics, we are targets.
[00:04:48]  And sometimes the bullets get through.
[00:04:50]  Certainly in my life, they have.
[00:04:52]  And so I'm constantly reevaluating.
[00:04:55]  So let's get into Will Smith.
[00:04:58]  So here's a man who's under a lot of pressure.
[00:05:01]  And so are many Hollywood celebrities because the Hollywood entertainment industry, and that includes television, is collapsing.
[00:05:10]  Jobs are fewer.
[00:05:12]  Salaries are going down.
[00:05:14]  And the pressure to succeed is much, much more intense than it was even five years ago.
[00:05:20]  People are turning away from the entertainment industry, largely because it's woke, it's PC, and so traditional Americans are going to have had enough.
[00:05:30]  Secondly, is technology.
[00:05:31]  You don't have to go to the movies anymore.
[00:05:33]  You can watch the films in your house on the streaming services.
[00:05:36]  So that therefore there are fewer films and fewer jobs.
[00:05:40]  So Will Smith is at the top of his profession, and he's a very talented guy.
[00:05:45]  If you look at the range of roles he's had.
[00:05:49]  He's a phenomenal guy.
[00:05:50]  He played Muhammad Ali.
[00:05:51]  I mean, that was a really good one.
[00:05:54]  Jamie Foxx and Will Smith are the two best, in my opinion, as far as acting is concerned.
[00:06:00]  I put Denzel ahead of both of them, but go ahead.
[00:06:02]  But he's not a young guy.
[00:06:04]  I'm talking young.
[00:06:05]  Denzel is the best, but he's not a young man.
[00:06:08]  Wow, me and Bill O'Reilly agree.
[00:06:10]  Simple man.
[00:06:11]  Keep going.
[00:06:11]  Okay.
[00:06:12]  So Smith has made a fundamental mistake in putting his marriage out into the tabloid press.
[00:06:19]  That is a drastic mistake.
[00:06:21]  You can't put your personal life into the tabloid press.
[00:06:26]  I mean, it's the worst thing a famous person can do.
[00:06:29]  So he's constantly now fending questions about his marriage, about his children, all of these things, in addition to being a guy who's got to succeed in everything he does or he's criticized.
[00:06:44]  So this guy walks into the Academy Awards as a nominee for best actor, tightly wound as you can get.
[00:06:50]  And his wife is tightly wound as well.
[00:06:52]  You can see it.
[00:06:53]  You can see it.
[00:06:54]  And so this fuse was lighted by Chris Rock, who had no blanket idea that the reception would be that way.
[00:07:02]  None.
[00:07:03]  Rock didn't go in with any malice.
[00:07:05]  Rock just told a foolish joke.
[00:07:07]  It didn't really matter.
[00:07:08]  I mean, you know, a movie that was out 25 years ago, most people don't even know what he's talking about.
[00:07:14]  But the overreaction by Smith was something that came from inside Smith.
[00:07:21]  It was not justified.
[00:07:22]  But then, like everything, fame is a spectator sport in America.
[00:07:26]  The more famous you are, the more people want to get involved with throwing things at you, tearing you down, or whatever.
[00:07:34]  So now people are taking sides, and that's the poll you cited at the beginning of our interview here.
[00:07:41]  I don't believe most Americans care about celebrities and famous people anymore.
[00:07:46]  They don't, but it's entertaining.
[00:07:47]  That's all.
[00:07:48]  Just something else to talk about.
[00:07:50]  About them.
[00:07:50]  People cared about John Wayne.
[00:07:53]  People cared about Marilyn Monroe at the time.
[00:07:56]  They don't now.
[00:07:57]  It's right.
[00:07:58]  It's entertainment.
[00:07:58]  It's sport.
[00:08:00]  And if people get brutalized, well, you know, they're rich.
[00:08:03]  So what?
[00:08:04]  And the James Stewart, you know, Bob Hope.
[00:08:06]  Right.
[00:08:07]  Let me give you, if you don't mind, I've thought about this, and you have described it perfectly in my view.
[00:08:15]  I'm listening very, very closely to your words.
[00:08:19]  I want to add to it what my take is.
[00:08:23]  And fame, I would argue, and you can correct me if you disagree, is not healthy.
[00:08:30]  It is not normal.
[00:08:33]  Bill, what we do for a living is we provide a service.
[00:08:37]  It's just like any other service, except for some reason, because people see us on TV or listen on the radio, they're more interested in famous people.
[00:08:48]  But it doesn't make us any better than the people that call to be nurses and doctors and lawyers and firemen and policemen and first responders.
[00:08:58]  They really have a calling.
[00:08:59]  I don't know.
[00:09:00]  This stupid red light went on on a radio station 35 years ago, Bill, and here I am.
[00:09:05]  I'm still talking.
[00:09:06]  So I don't think it's healthy.
[00:09:08]  And I don't think people understand that part of it.
[00:09:12]  Everything else that you said, I won't echo, but I feel the same way you do.
[00:09:17]  And it's interesting because Denzel Washington, as Will Smith referred to, I really, he's one of my favorite actors of all time, went up to Will Smith and said, hey, when you're at your highest, the devils were coming at you the hardest.
[00:09:31]  And, you know, the good book, the Bible, says the devil's there to kill, rob, and steal and destroy.
[00:09:37]  And so I kind of agree with that, but there's something about the belief system of many.
[00:09:44]  Notice how many become so addicted to headlines in our business.
[00:09:48]  Notice how so many get addicted.
[00:09:51]  I've got COVID.
[00:09:52]  I mean, why does every famous person feel the need to tweet that out?
[00:09:57]  You know, and then if Joe Rogan mentions what works for him, oh, you know, he should be thrown off Spotify.
[00:10:03]  I mean, it's so stupid.
[00:10:06]  And the only last thing I'm going to say is this: is that one thing that you've got to realize is if you get into this game and you give opinions, you're going to get hit.
[00:10:18]  If you're not willing to take the hits, then you can't dish it out and not expect it back.
[00:10:23]  That's my take.
[00:10:24]  It's not that simple, Hannity.
[00:10:25]  It is.
[00:10:26]  Some of the hits are evil.
[00:10:30]  It doesn't matter.
[00:10:31]  You're going to get hit.
[00:10:32]  Well, look, it matters to me.
[00:10:33]  I'm going to defend myself.
[00:10:35]  And I'm not going to allow people.
[00:10:37]  I mean, I've had people on my property.
[00:10:38]  I've had people do things before I've taken them into court.
[00:10:43]  I'm not going to allow it.
[00:10:44]  I'm just not going to allow it.
[00:10:46]  But you've got to understand one thing: that if you buy into the celebrity game, which neither you nor I have, and I know you for a long time.
[00:10:56]  So, so I became famous, so did you.
[00:11:00]  But I never worshiped fame.
[00:11:04]  I never changed my life.
[00:11:06]  I have my same friends.
[00:11:08]  In fact, I'm going to the Caribbean with 21 guys next week on a diamond trip.
[00:11:13]  Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:11:14]  Wait a minute.
[00:11:15]  We're in the Caribbean, so I can tell people where not to go.
[00:11:20]  By the way, where's my invitation?
[00:11:21]  I didn't get invited to the big shindig.
[00:11:25]  I did not.
[00:11:26]  I never will go to the beach.
[00:11:29]  Yeah, that's pretty true.
[00:11:29]  I'm too Irish.
[00:11:30]  I don't, you know.
[00:11:31]  And you scare the fish anyway, Hannity.
[00:11:33]  They see you.
[00:11:34]  Is that what you play?
[00:11:35]  Are you going fishing?
[00:11:36]  Is that what you're going to do?
[00:11:37]  We're going diving.
[00:11:38]  We don't kill the fish.
[00:11:40]  By the way, I'm not going more than 10 feet below in an ocean.
[00:11:45]  But anyway, let me get back.
[00:11:46]  This is an important point.
[00:11:47]  So you and I never ever bought into this, all right?
[00:11:52]  That this was a valuable commodity.
[00:11:56]  We used it to get money and to get security and to do some good.
[00:12:04]  I have a charitable foundation.
[00:12:05]  I know you're very charitable as well.
[00:12:07]  We're helping Heraldu out on Friday night with the Autism Charity, both of us.
[00:12:11]  A lot of money to that.
[00:12:13]  So we are doing good.
[00:12:14]  But there are people who then become addicted to celebrity.
[00:12:18]  And I'm going to name a name.
[00:12:19]  Ben Affleck.
[00:12:20]  Ben Affleck.
[00:12:22]  If you look at him, he's destroying himself with the Jennifer Lopez.
[00:12:28]  Every second, here's another picture.
[00:12:31]  I'm doing this.
[00:12:32]  This is my ex-wife.
[00:12:34]  Stop it.
[00:12:35]  Stop it.
[00:12:36]  Let me give you.
[00:12:36]  Let me give you a tip.
[00:12:37]  Wait, this is important.
[00:12:39]  Go ahead.
[00:12:39]  This is important.
[00:12:40]  If you buy into this celebrity stuff, it's like a drug.
[00:12:46]  You have to have it every day.
[00:12:48]  I agree.
[00:12:48]  That's what I see Will Smith.
[00:12:50]  I see this guy so wound up about this that he gets out of control.
[00:12:57]  All right, quick break.
[00:12:58]  We'll come back.
[00:12:58]  More things with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly, allthingso'reilly, billo'reilly.com.
[00:13:03]  Then your calls, 800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:13:13]  The newsmakers you won't hear anywhere else.
[00:13:17]  This is the Sean Hannity Show.
[00:13:33]  All right, we continue with the simple man himself, Bill O'Reilly.
[00:13:36]  All Things O'Reilly, BillOReilly.com.
[00:13:39]  It's weird when he can take, you know, the stories, I'm assuming they're true.
[00:13:44]  I can't confirm them myself, but this open marriage thing.
[00:13:48]  He's okay with somebody sleeping with his wife, but he's not okay with a comedian making a joke about his wife.
[00:13:53]  That's bizarre.
[00:13:54]  Don't do that.
[00:13:55]  Here's, well, no, that is, if, if those stories are true, that would seem like a very, that would seem like a very distorted moral comp.
[00:14:03]  What's that?
[00:14:04]  We shouldn't even dignify that.
[00:14:06]  No, but I'm saying, I'm making the point if Will Smith makes a mistake.
[00:14:10]  I'm missing my point, is that that to me is a distorted moral compass.
[00:14:14]  I'm going to tell you one thing about for me, and we've all sinned, we've all fallen short of the glory of God.
[00:14:20]  Period.
[00:14:20]  End of sentence.
[00:14:23]  There's a great song by Tim McGraw, Always Be Humble and True.
[00:14:27]  And there are two things that I believe have protected me and my life from getting caught up in this game.
[00:14:36]  Number one, I'm a recluse during the week, but that's a third one.
[00:14:40]  But number one would be my belief in God.
[00:14:44]  And my belief in God is that, you know, we're nothing but a speck of dust, Bill.
[00:14:48]  He knows how many hairs are on your head and on my head.
[00:14:50]  I have more than you.
[00:14:52]  Number two is for 20 plus years of my life, I did real work from dishwashing to tending bar to construction.
[00:15:02]  I never got asked for an autograph in either of those, in any of those professions.
[00:15:07]  So those two things that I believe, thank you, God, have kept me grounded.
[00:15:13]  Am I perfect?
[00:15:14]  No, Bill, I'm not.
[00:15:16]  You took a path.
[00:15:18]  I taught high school before I got into television.
[00:15:22]  That helped me out because I know what the teachers go through.
[00:15:26]  I know what real people and working people go through.
[00:15:29]  You bartended, I painted houses, taught high school, drove a cab.
[00:15:33]  You did all those things too.
[00:15:35]  We're grounded people.
[00:15:37]  But what the American public doesn't understand is once you devalue a person, a famous person, and you make that person an object of derision, that the person's not really a human being anymore.
[00:15:51]  It's somebody that you can whack like a piñata.
[00:15:54]  But you and I know a little fact that most people don't know.
[00:15:57]  All this stuff in the tabloids are usually leaked by the people themselves.
[00:16:04]  Yeah, the PR people do it.
[00:16:06]  Like, for example, Will Smith gave an apology.
[00:16:09]  Here's an anatomy of an apology.
[00:16:11]  You get together in a room, you have tons of PR people, and you craft a statement, and you got to say it this way, you got to do it that way, you got to send it out that way.
[00:16:20]  You got to do the same thing.
[00:16:23]  But with that said, I'm going to take Will Smith's apology as sincere and give him another chance.
[00:16:28]  Sure.
[00:16:29]  Why condemn Will Smith to anything?
[00:16:32]  All right.
[00:16:32]  I enjoyed this discussion, most of it anyway.
[00:16:37]  And it's just interesting to me.
[00:16:39]  And I just hope that everybody begins to realize, you know, the golden rule just applies in everything.
[00:16:44]  I say this to my kids all the time.
[00:16:46]  Love God, all your heart, mind, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself, and treat others the way you want to be treated.
[00:16:51]  I think I'm going to cry, Hanny.
[00:16:53]  Can let's give Rivera's charity a plug here.
[00:16:57]  Likes work, L-I-F-E-W-O-R-C.com.
[00:17:02]  And if you can help out the autistic people, please do.
[00:17:05]  We got a big benefit.
[00:17:06]  Bill and I both donated together, and you're giving a speech.
[00:17:10]  I'm not sure if I can make it, but I'm going to try.
[00:17:12]  Well, it will wise you up if you make it, Hannie.
[00:17:14]  You'll be smarter and good.
[00:17:16]  Thanks for being with us.
[00:17:17]  It's all things O'Reilly, BillOReilly.com.
[00:17:20]  The new Sean Hannity Show.

=== Love And Charity (03:36) ===

[00:17:31]  Talking about what's right for America.
[00:17:34]  With a renewed commitment to keep you up to date on the breaking news stories.
[00:17:40]  All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
[00:17:42]  We'll get to your calls here in a second.
[00:17:43]  800-941 Sean, we have been discussing in detail, you know, all the cleanup work for Joe and his cognitive mess.
[00:17:52]  And Kate Beddingfield, filling in for Jen Saki, who is diagnosed the second time now with COVID.
[00:17:59]  We wish her well.
[00:18:00]  Anyway, responding, she's the White House Communications Director.
[00:18:04]  According to that new book that came out, she's the one that was trashing Kamala Harris, but we put that aside.
[00:18:11]  She's the comms director responding to the question if Biden is living up to the mantra that a president's words matter.
[00:18:19]  And then she actually doubles down on stupid by saying Biden doesn't regret his comments about Putin because what he was saying was he's got to go regime change.
[00:18:29]  This is now the fourth separate time they have flipped and flopped and flailed on this topic.
[00:18:36]  You know full well something that candidate Joe Biden said for virtually every day on the campaign trail, which is that the words of a president matter, that they can, as he often put it, lead a country into war.
[00:18:48]  Is he not living up to the standard that he said himself during the premium?
[00:18:52]  Absolutely not.
[00:18:53]  I think the words of the president here were incredibly powerful.
[00:18:55]  He spoke personally about the moral outrage that he felt, which is shared by people all across the world.
[00:19:02]  It does not mean he is articulating a change in policy.
[00:19:05]  It does not mean he's laying out a change in U.S. policy.
[00:19:11]  Is he frustrated or does he regret that those words at the very end of the speech overshadowed a larger message, which obviously he put a lot of thought into in the days of these?
[00:19:21]  Absolutely not.
[00:19:21]  He spoke from the heart.
[00:19:22]  He, as he always does, as you know very well from having covered him for a long time, as many of you do.
[00:19:27]  And as the American people know, he speaks from the heart.
[00:19:29]  He says what he feels.
[00:19:31]  And no, he absolutely does not regret that in any way.
[00:19:34]  I mean, it's just outright lying and propaganda.
[00:19:37]  I mean, you got a president of the United States that is saying things that could provoke a significant military response.
[00:19:48]  I mean, if you keep track, he's in Europe and, you know, wrongly suggesting, you'll get to see it for yourself.
[00:19:55]  Uh-huh.
[00:19:55]  He's talking to U.S. soldiers.
[00:19:57]  They're going to Ukraine.
[00:19:59]  Then, of course, leaking out that our forces are training forces in Poland.
[00:20:05]  Vladimir Putin knows that.
[00:20:06]  Was he supposed to utter that little thing out there?
[00:20:10]  Then he forgot the name of his own Secretary of Defense, referred to him as the Secretary of State.
[00:20:16]  Then, of course, he was spent hours choking on spicy pizza.
[00:20:20]  And then he falsely claimed that the, you know, he said Putin cannot remain in power.
[00:20:26]  Immediately, Winkin Blinken, the real Secretary of State, corrected him on that issue, and then he cleaned it up.
[00:20:33]  And what did he do?
[00:20:35]  He went back and basically said the same dumb thing.
[00:20:38]  You know, so they're trying to write this ship.
[00:20:41]  And literally, they're providing the president with these cheat cards, which we showed you on TV last night.
[00:20:49]  And the truth is very obvious to everybody.
[00:20:52]  It's not shocking anymore that Joe Biden is a cognitive mess.
[00:20:56]  I've been warning about the dangerous side of this.
[00:21:00]  Now, usually when people enter whatever cognitive decline it is, it is progressive.

=== Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline (11:56) ===

[00:21:08]  It doesn't usually get better.
[00:21:10]  It usually gets worse.
[00:21:12]  And what I see is Joe Biden getting worse.
[00:21:16]  You know, 60% of Americans want both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
[00:21:20]  I said this earlier to undergo cognitive testing.
[00:21:23]  And by the way, Kamala Harris has, you know, her own train wrecks to deal with.
[00:21:29]  Anyway, let's get to the phones here.
[00:21:30]  Oh, our friend Velma in Vegas.
[00:21:33]  Velma, where have you been?
[00:21:35]  We miss you.
[00:21:36]  We love you.
[00:21:36]  What's going on?
[00:21:37]  When's your birthday?
[00:21:38]  I missed you too.
[00:21:39]  Loved you.
[00:21:41]  Yeah, nothing.
[00:21:42]  Just trying to deal with your teenage nephews.
[00:21:47]  The best I can.
[00:21:48]  Well, wait a minute.
[00:21:49]  What are they doing?
[00:21:50]  What are they doing?
[00:21:50]  What do I need?
[00:21:51]  Does Uncle Sean need to step in?
[00:21:53]  They're 14 and 15.
[00:21:55]  Okay, so they're trying to tell girlfriends and all this kind of stuff.
[00:22:00]  Well, what do you expect 14 and 15 year old kids to do?
[00:22:04]  14 and 15, they babies.
[00:22:06]  Okay, they're not babies, Velma.
[00:22:09]  My kids are a little older.
[00:22:11]  You're going to have to get over this.
[00:22:12]  You're going to have to let them, you know, you give them the side rails.
[00:22:17]  You got to keep tight reins on them.
[00:22:20]  Make sure they understand no drugs, no drinking, how to treat women, and so on and so forth.
[00:22:26]  You will have to guide them.
[00:22:28]  They're going to make mistakes, Velma.
[00:22:30]  Every kid does.
[00:22:32]  I know.
[00:22:33]  I know.
[00:22:34]  By the way, doesn't that good book of yours?
[00:22:36]  How are you doing?
[00:22:37]  I'm good.
[00:22:38]  But the good book says, you know, you start the ways of a child, but then you change, doesn't it?
[00:22:45]  It does.
[00:22:46]  Okay.
[00:22:46]  You have about, I hate to tell you this, a male brain does not fully form usually until the male is 25 years old.
[00:22:57]  Maybe older.
[00:22:59]  Yeah, maybe older.
[00:23:01]  You know, I'm getting up there too.
[00:23:03]  So I don't even know if my brain is there.
[00:23:06]  Now, when is your birthday?
[00:23:07]  Because we've got to get your spa treatment.
[00:23:09]  Did we get you one for Christmas?
[00:23:11]  You got me a Louis Vuitton that I love.
[00:23:16]  Linda, you never told me this.
[00:23:17]  What did I get you?
[00:23:18]  A Louis Vuitton?
[00:23:19]  What?
[00:23:19]  I don't know.
[00:23:20]  Louis Vuitton, and you don't remember?
[00:23:23]  Linda, did I, did I okay this?
[00:23:25]  Love, love, love my purse.
[00:23:27]  Honestly, Sean, you have amazing taste.
[00:23:33]  All right, Linda.
[00:23:34]  We got to.
[00:23:35]  Let me finish.
[00:23:36]  Go ahead, Don.
[00:23:37]  What did you say?
[00:23:38]  You take your Louis everywhere?
[00:23:40]  I take it.
[00:23:41]  You know, I was scared.
[00:23:42]  I have it insured and everything, but I take it everywhere.
[00:23:45]  I sure do.
[00:23:46]  I love it.
[00:23:47]  Love it, love it, love it.
[00:23:48]  Listen, I think a Louis is a wonderful companion.
[00:23:52]  Is it a purse or what is it?
[00:23:54]  Yes, it's a purse, Sean.
[00:23:56]  Remember, we picked it out together for Velma.
[00:23:58]  You asked me.
[00:23:58]  Well, let me ask you another thing.
[00:24:00]  You said, what kind of, what do you want?
[00:24:03]  And you asked Linda, I think, or somebody.
[00:24:05]  You said, what is the most expensive purse?
[00:24:07]  And they said, Louis Vuitton.
[00:24:10]  And I said, I wanted a spa.
[00:24:12]  You remember?
[00:24:13]  Right.
[00:24:13]  I do.
[00:24:14]  I do.
[00:24:15]  You just so nice and sweet.
[00:24:17]  And Anthony loves, love, love that motorcycle.
[00:24:22]  Well, I sent that with strict instructions that they got to do it under adult supervision.
[00:24:27]  I tell you, he's padded down.
[00:24:29]  He's padded down.
[00:24:30]  All right, good.
[00:24:31]  You know, but right now, and I'm talking on there, I shouldn't be doing it.
[00:24:35]  You know, I have him riding in the neighborhood, and I watch him.
[00:24:40]  All right.
[00:24:40]  Just keep your.
[00:24:41]  He's not allowed to do it without supervision.
[00:24:43]  Tell him Uncle Sean said.
[00:24:45]  When is your birthday?
[00:24:46]  Velma, when is your birthday?
[00:24:48]  You got everything.
[00:24:49]  When is your birthday?
[00:24:51]  It's August 25th.
[00:24:53]  Okay.
[00:24:54]  Well, you start thinking about what you want for your birthday.
[00:24:57]  And by the way, now, I want to tell you.
[00:24:59]  Now, you go to church, you pray to Jesus every week, and I admire you for it.
[00:25:04]  And you said to me that your church group, they don't like me, but they pray for me.
[00:25:10]  Didn't you tell me that?
[00:25:11]  Oh, yeah.
[00:25:12]  They do like you.
[00:25:13]  They may not like your policies.
[00:25:14]  They do.
[00:25:15]  Okay.
[00:25:16]  And you told me they prayed.
[00:25:17]  Because I love you.
[00:25:18]  Well, and I appreciate that.
[00:25:21]  And I just want.
[00:25:23]  No, I don't.
[00:25:24]  I want.
[00:25:24]  And when you go to church, you're told that the truth shall set you free, correct?
[00:25:29]  Exactly.
[00:25:30]  You shall know the truth.
[00:25:31]  The truth shall set you free.
[00:25:32]  So I have a question for you.
[00:25:34]  Do you not see Joe Biden as a cognitive mess?
[00:25:39]  I'm not going to talk about him.
[00:25:41]  You're not going to talk about it.
[00:25:42]  No ducking.
[00:25:43]  Do you see that Joe Biden is a cognitive man?
[00:25:47]  I don't know your man, but I don't know.
[00:25:49]  I don't care.
[00:25:50]  I didn't ask you about my man.
[00:25:51]  I'm asking you, do you see Joe Biden as a cognitive mess?
[00:25:55]  Now, Jesus is watching.
[00:25:56]  I want to hear the answer.
[00:25:57]  God put him in place.
[00:26:00]  He put Trump in place for a reason, and he put a good man like Joe Biden in place.
[00:26:07]  Okay, all right.
[00:26:07]  So you just called him a good man.
[00:26:09]  All right.
[00:26:10]  I let you get your comment out.
[00:26:11]  Now I want you to answer my question.
[00:26:13]  Do you think he is struggling mightily with cognitive issues?
[00:26:18]  I'm struggling.
[00:26:19]  I'm struggling with that.
[00:26:20]  I didn't ask if you're struggling.
[00:26:22]  I'm asking you.
[00:26:23]  And if a person every day.
[00:26:26]  Velma, I love you.
[00:26:27]  But I'm going to go in for the fifth time.
[00:26:30]  Do you see that Joe Biden is struggling mightily with cognitive issues?
[00:26:37]  I think he does great for his age.
[00:26:41]  You won't answer.
[00:26:43]  All right, Velma.
[00:26:44]  I got to let you go, but I love you.
[00:26:45]  I don't want to speak dumb questions.
[00:26:48]  No, I just wanted to see.
[00:26:50]  You go to church.
[00:26:51]  I just want to know whether you will admit the simple truth.
[00:26:54]  I love Joe Biden, too, but I love you more.
[00:26:56]  But I love Joe Biden, too.
[00:26:58]  I'm nicer than Joe Biden.
[00:27:00]  Oh, you very, very wonderful to me and my children.
[00:27:03]  Of course, I love your children.
[00:27:04]  They're my adopted nephews.
[00:27:06]  I think that Joe Biden tries to do the best he can.
[00:27:09]  I think he cares.
[00:27:10]  I think he's a wonderful.
[00:27:13]  How old were your children when I adopted them?
[00:27:17]  Oh, God, you've been knowing them since the children couldn't.
[00:27:21]  I think you had bought them two computers and one couldn't even use it because he was too young.
[00:27:27]  So they were like, you met these children when they were like one and two.
[00:27:31]  You didn't see them.
[00:27:32]  You met them a couple of years ago.
[00:27:34]  And Uncle Sean steps up every Christmas, takes care of his nephews.
[00:27:38]  Wonderful.
[00:27:38]  You got these children.
[00:27:39]  All right, I don't want to talk about me.
[00:27:41]  I just, I love you.
[00:27:42]  God bless you.
[00:27:43]  And tell all the church ladies and your group of friends that you did not have the courage to speak the truth because you know darn well that Joe's a mess.
[00:27:52]  I know you know, Velma, and I know because you're smart and you can see it, but you don't want to say it because you like him better than the last guy.
[00:28:02]  Oh, Lord, the other guy I pray for.
[00:28:05]  Keep praying.
[00:28:06]  I'm praying that he gets back in office.
[00:28:07]  All right, Velma.
[00:28:08]  Love you.
[00:28:10]  One day, I'm going to see you, and we're going to really have a powwow.
[00:28:15]  All right, appreciate it.
[00:28:16]  Tony in Iowa, thank you, Velma.
[00:28:18]  Hey, Tony, how are you?
[00:28:20]  Hey, hey, Hennedty.
[00:28:21]  Thanks for the take.
[00:28:24]  So, yeah, this whole Will Smith thing.
[00:28:26]  Yeah.
[00:28:28]  I got to call shenanigans, man.
[00:28:30]  I think it's just clickbait.
[00:28:31]  I mean, Will Smith is a great actor.
[00:28:34]  Yeah.
[00:28:35]  So you think it's fake?
[00:28:36]  I'll tell you why I don't think it's fake.
[00:28:38]  And some people said it was a ratings ploy.
[00:28:39]  I don't think it was a ratings ploy, or they would have done it right from the get-go.
[00:28:44]  It was done later in the show, from my understanding.
[00:28:47]  It was the second lowest rated Oscars ever.
[00:28:51]  You know, years ago, they used to get 50 million people, not that long ago, 40 million people.
[00:28:56]  You know, they got like 15, and that was up slightly from last year.
[00:29:03]  Hollywood's done.
[00:29:04]  It's finished.
[00:29:05]  But the slap was real.
[00:29:06]  And you especially can see it when he says, stop, you know, keep my mouth, keep my wife's name out your effing mouth.
[00:29:14]  I mean, he was pissed and angry.
[00:29:18]  What?
[00:29:20]  But he's an actor, though.
[00:29:21]  I mean, he's a very good actor.
[00:29:23]  I mean, he's great at what he does, but I'm just telling you, I think it's real, but it doesn't matter.
[00:29:29]  We can agree to disagree on that.
[00:29:31]  I think he just stomped on the floor, and that's what that sound was.
[00:29:35]  I didn't watch slow motion, but the point that, you know, the Oscars are out the way out, that they're not having that much viewership.
[00:29:42]  I mean, that's what they would need to generate popularity is a stunt like that.
[00:29:46]  You know, I'm not, it's not to the level like Janet Jackson in the Super Bowl, but you know, I would tend to think there's a greater likelihood that that was staged, in my opinion.
[00:29:59]  I don't know.
[00:30:00]  I have no idea.
[00:30:01]  But I would bet greater likelihood in that case.
[00:30:05]  But anyway, I really appreciate your call.
[00:30:08]  Quick break, right back to the phones, toll-free.
[00:30:11]  It's 800-941-Sean.
[00:30:12]  You want to be a part of the program show you don't want to miss.
[00:30:45]  All right, back to our busy telephones.
[00:30:47]  Bill in Florida, you're next.
[00:30:48]  Bill, how are you?
[00:30:50]  Hi, Sean.
[00:30:51]  God bless you for all you do.
[00:30:52]  And unfortunately, your friend Velma and I probably won't agree on Joe Biden.
[00:30:57]  I'm just furious with the media outlets of the Democratic Party for their duplicity.
[00:31:03]  For four years, I had to listen to them accuse Trump of being a Russian asset.
[00:31:07]  We spent $40 million on Mueller.
[00:31:09]  And we spent all these congressional senator investigations.
[00:31:12]  And what did they find?
[00:31:13]  Nothing.
[00:31:14]  Yet no one has had the courage to challenge whether Joe Biden is a Russian asset.
[00:31:20]  He closed off our pipelines.
[00:31:22]  He stopped the approval for permits and the pipelines from the leases.
[00:31:31]  He also stopped our Keystone pipeline that drove the oil price from $50 a barrel to $97 a barrel, almost 100% increase, and reduced our ability to help Europe now that this Russian thing broke loose.
[00:31:45]  And this executive order, he made it easier for Russia to come into their pipeline and get greater control over Europe, and they're going to have more influence.
[00:31:57]  And Grassley Johnson's Senate report tells us that the Biden family received $3.5 million from a Moscow politician while Joe was in the White House or serving as vice president.
[00:32:09]  And we also know, according to Hunter's book, that he got $10 million from China.
[00:32:15]  How come nobody's saying that he's a Russian asset?
[00:32:19]  And we had $85 billion.
[00:32:21]  I have been saying forever.
[00:32:23]  Remember, at this time in his life, he even admits he was a crack addict.
[00:32:29]  You know, he, I'll say it generously, he frequented women of the night, if you will.
[00:32:36]  A lot of that video is on the laptop.
[00:32:39]  Look, there's a reason.
[00:32:41]  Let me have a short time.
[00:32:42]  Let me just explain one thing.
[00:32:43]  There's a reason.
[00:32:44]  The New York Times, today the Washington Post, fake news, CNN, all of a sudden are now showing interest in Hunter Biden because they know it's all about to bust wide open.
[00:32:58]  Otherwise, they'd do what they always do, which is ignore it.
[00:33:02]  Anyway, good call, Bill.
[00:33:03]  Appreciate it.
[00:33:03]  I wish I had more time for you.
[00:33:05]  Look.
