Highland.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Time is flying by.
But look at the havoc and look at the destruction that they've done to our country in such a short period of time.
Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.
For God's sake.
This man cannot remain.
Oh.
So let's give this peace project the focus and the commitment and the resources of a wartime effort.
Our marshal plan.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
To your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity.
New Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number two, twenty nine.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll free 800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
We're following the Senate race very closely, and I've been telling everybody the people that I'm supporting and why I'm supporting them.
I'm supporting people that believe in America first, secure borders, lower taxes, less bureaucracy, energy independence, uh choice in schools, um voting and and supporting people that uh believe in law and order, uh, people that believe that we should have constitutionalists, originalists on the Supreme Court and believe in separation of powers and not legislating from the bench.
Free and fair trade.
I believe in people, I support people that also believe in peace through strength, the Reagan doctrine, and the Trump doctrine.
It's really that simple for me.
And I have found that in the person of Dr. Oz Herschel Walker is another one.
Attorney General Bernovich out in Arizona is another person we're supporting.
Dr. Oz joins us now.
Uh he is running for the nomination for the Republican Party in the great state of Pennsylvania.
He's got this new ad that he just put out, and it is well as timely as anything you'd ever want to talk about, and has to do with fracking and energy, and here it is.
Biden administration halts new drilling.
We can't frack it and have the lace with people.
Bad Democrat public policy dealing with energy is coming home to really roost now.
Natural gas guarantees high-paying skill jobs right here in Pennsylvania.
I'm here in Pennsylvania where there's natural gas under my feet as I speak to you.
You gotta deliver clean natural gas to the world.
We've got a hundred plus years of natural gas underneath the ground in the United States.
Back off, Biden.
Give us freedom to frack.
All right, Dr. Oz joins us now.
Uh if you think about so Joe Biden has this disastrous appearance in Europe, and uh, you'll see for yourselves talking about American troops that would be sent into Ukraine, and then he makes the mistake of revealing our troops are trading the uh the Ukrainian troops right here in Poland.
Not a good idea.
And then, of course, the big blunder that he calls for regime change, then they back it off, and then he called for it again.
You can't mess it up.
Uh what's so frustrating though, on top of the substance that came out of that meeting.
We will have uh a committee looking into alternative forms of energy for Europe.
Uh a task force.
And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, there's really only two things that Ukraine needs right now, and they need it urgently.
And that is one, all the weaponry, all the drones, all the javelins, all the stingers, all the anti-aircraft missiles that they can get.
Uh the second thing they need is to cut off Vladimir Putin's money, and the way to do that is stop importing a single drop of oil or gas or getting a g of any gas from Russia and Putin because they're making Russia and Putin rich again.
Those are the two things.
We don't need a task force to figure this out.
You just got to solve the problem and warp speed everything.
Anyway, Dr. Owls, welcome back.
Great to have you.
The ad is important.
It is timely.
It would be great for the state of Pennsylvania because they could do a lot more than they're doing now, can't they?
I'll tell you a story, Sean, that was uh really chilling for me.
I was taking my son hunting up in Tyoga County, which is a northern part of the state where they have some natural gas, and uh they shut a lot of those productions down because of Biden and others getting in the way.
And I asked a woman who was serving me my grits and coffee before we went out early that morning.
She was the mother of one of the guys.
And I asked her, What do you guys do here?
Like how do you make money?
What do you sell?
And because it's sort of depressed area.
And she said, Well, we sell we sell our bodies and we sell drugs.
And then she poured my coffee and walked away.
And I was stunned.
Yeah.
We sell our dr we sell our bodies who sell drugs.
And I later that day, going bird hunting.
I ran into a a little truck that was a cre a den for making uh they're breaking bad.
They were actually they were they're probably making uh amphetamines there.
And I'm looking at this and say, when you don't support people, and in Pennsylvania, folks are especially angry because they know that right under our feet is natural gas that would help the reduce carbon load in the planet.
So it's good for the environmentalists if they actually wanted to hear it.
It's good for our national security, it dramatically drops uh energy prices, and of course, natural gas can be used for plastics and many other sources as well, as you pointed out, can be used for cars, and we would support our allies against Putin and help our you know fellow human beings in Ukraine.
Yet Biden doesn't seem to want to do this.
And I've been thinking about this.
I'm gonna run an idea by you.
I think one of the reasons that despite all the things that you say so brilliantly, and I think everybody who understands energy.
Yesterday I was with Rick Perry, energy secretary under President Trump, who endorsed me.
Harold Hamm, the father of fracking, was there.
You know, the actual man who's a good thing.
Harold's a great guy.
I've met him, yeah.
Yeah.
Very, very involved and supportive of uh President Trump and what the administration tried to do.
Toby Rice is the biggest producer of natural gas in this country.
He's up and cut I mean uh in the state, up and coming guys in this, you know, it's 40 years old.
These guys were saying we did an operational warp speed on energy.
But here's why the Democrats don't want it.
When you really get down into it, the far left side believe that we're locusts, we're cockroaches, we're a pestilence on the planet.
They don't think that we actually deserve to have energy because we don't do good things with it.
So that's why we can't get ahead of these middle-level bureaucrats, unelected people passing rules that don't make sense, or radical green lawyers who litigate to death some of these pipelines after people have made you know a billion dollars of investment.
This is why activists can camp out and they're so angry about these issues.
Because any rational human being, any scientist would know that the new green deal are is a false narrative.
It can't happen.
And what we're trying to do with natural gas here in Pennsylvania would save the people of Pennsylvania, but also help our nation dramatically increase energy dominance, which would provide security around the globe and reduce poverty as well.
Yet no one wants to hear the story.
So i i it's it's such a no-brainer, and and I say it a little bit differently than you.
Imagine if we regained energy independence like Donald Trump accomplished for the first time in seventy-five years, and we were once again a net exporter of energy.
And by the way, we do need to build new refin refinery facilities also.
Um we don't have to worry about the Straits of Hormuz.
We don't have to beg OPEC.
We don't have to do this insane Iranian deal that would allow Russia to build a ten billion dollar nuclear facility.
Uh uh, you know, get t allow Iranian national guards lift the sanctions against them from flying into the U.S. because they're on a no-fly list and lift that no fly list.
That's insanity to me.
Or kissing the ass of of Maduro, the murdering dictator thug in Venezuela.
We wouldn't have to do any of those things.
Then we'd be able to help our NATO allies, Western European allies.
We'd have high-paying career jobs in this country.
It would dramatically lower the price of energy, uh, which is killing every American right now.
On average, according to Bloomberg, it's costing nearly fifty, five hundred dollars per household per year, a 40-year high again today with inflation.
And and we'd be we would be the masters of our own destiny.
Why they gave that up, I cannot explain it.
Maybe you can.
I I I think they have a false ideology.
They have a victim mentality.
They think that if you're not doing well, you're a victim, and everyone else therefore is an oppressor, and you gotta push the oppressors down.
They don't care about actually fixing the victims.
People are not doing well.
The story I told at the beginning really hurt me because these folks deserve an opportunity.
And it's hard sometimes.
We get it.
There's many reasons why there's you know uh difficult circumstances.
But when you have everything you need right there, and someone in Washington says, No, I'm gonna make a bunch of rules and regulations that or tax it or create uh laws that block you from doing what is you your God given ability to make a living, but things that you know will make the planet better, it hurts.
I'll give you an example leasing federal lands.
Harold Hamm went really he by Harold Ham, Samuel Chanel.
He's a very wealthy man.
He does not need to work anymore.
When I spoke first spoke to Harold about doing this energy summit in Pittsburgh yesterday, he got very emotional because he said, I know how to help.
I helped President Trump.
When they when people ask me, I do whatever they ask to help my country, I'm a patriot.
They won't call me back.
The Biden administration will not allow him to participate at any level.
He literally think about this.
A guy who's the father of fracking doesn't get his calls returned by the energy secretary.
So he says, let's at least open up federal lands.
But the January 27th, right after the inauguration, where his first executive orders, Biden shut down federal lands.
That is one third of all energy stores of our country.
Second thing is we don't have pipelines that can be fast tracked.
There are so many rules and regulations.
Any small minor change, you gotta pay your whatever it is, tens of thousands of fees and wait another, you know, a year or two for your permission.
And they lie about having eleven thousand permits, though that's dishonest.
Most of them are in litigation.
He said we have access maybe to you know, less than a quarter of what they're arguing.
It's not enough.
And we actually have to have a fast track completion process or else and people like these big energy producers who are with me, they're just not going to do it.
They it's not about being bribed to make money.
They it's there, these folks want to do what's best for the planet, and they're witnessing the Biden administration do the opposite.
You know, it's it's just uh so simple and it's so easy.
Um let me transition.
So you were appointed for a second term to the President's Council Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, and you received a letter when Joe was in Europe making a fool of himself uh that they were asking you to resign, both you and Herschel Walker, I believe, got the same letter, and I'm not sure what Herschel did.
I haven't spoken to him about it yet.
Uh you refused to resign, and apparently you got fired.
Any response?
So actually I've been talking to Herschel.
He's a teammate.
We do a lot of things together.
We both support each other's campaigns.
And Herschel and I both got the letter.
We both said we're not quitters, we're not gonna drop off President Trump hired us.
Um I I accused the White House of uh actually I choose Joe Biden to make a mistake because he probably meant to fire Fauci finally.
Uh they denied that way.
By the way, if there's one doctor we need to fire, it's him.
Yes, I agree.
So then they they made up a a rule uh which was not true.
Hatchwell, they I'm a volunteer, so it doesn't apply.
Then they made up another rule, uh, which wasn't true that it was administration protocol, but they couldn't produce it.
Then they finally gave us a third reason uh why to fire me.
And here's the reality.
I mean, they they Biden can't even fire people as well as Trump.
I mean, Trump's pretty good at firing people anyway, but he can't even fire people.
I'll put the letter up on Dr. Oz dot com so everyone can see it.
But really what they're wanting, they want members who share Biden's priorities.
And at a time when we are in in you know, suffering quite a bit and COVID really hurt us, President Biden uh uh has not called a single gathering of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition.
Not one.
Not one.
I was at a high school yesterday uh outside of Pittsburgh that uh I was talking to the athletic athletic director.
Kids don't go to practice anymore, but COVID has changed what they believe are their responsibilities.
The President's Council was created under the Eisenhower uh uh um Kennedy administration is to to provide luminaries an opportunity to talk to kids about sports and nutrition, you know, the things that I know a little bit about, and so does Herschel.
And yet uh they don't want us talking about this stuff.
They didn't even call the meeting, which is I was sort of surprised of all the things going on, right, with inflation and gas prices at the Ukraine.
Why Joe Biden would bother firing us when he doesn't even let us meet?
It just was stunning to Herschel and me.
So we have a pledged we will investigate politically motivated firings when we're both senators next year.
Quick break more with Republican Senate candidate that I am supporting, Dr. Oz on the other side, eight hundred nine four one Sean on number.
Want to remind you with every mortgage free home, our friends, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation delivers on.
They're doing they're keeping their promise to do good, never forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes, all that they have done for us, and our nation's forces and heroes.
Guess what?
The people that all risk their lives for their country and communities, they need desperately our help.
They need your help more than ever.
We're talking about Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children, our nation's most catastrophically injured first responders, vets, and even our homeless service members, they need help.
And that's where the Tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in.
Now, for some families, the foundation brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home where their memories uh exist with their fallen loved one.
For other families, the foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever.
All of this is possible only because so many of you have jumped on board to donate.
They're only asking eleven dollars a month.
That's it.
They set up a special website.
It's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
The letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org, and help our heroes out with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Six hundred and seventy-five stations all across America.
And we can't thank you enough for being here every day to make that possible.
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
We'll be right back.
Dr. Oz is with us.
Let me ask you about yet another key inflation gauge, another 40-year high uh as it relates to inflation.
Uh it we have record high after record high prices for a gallon of gasoline.
It's costing a fortune more to heat and cool our homes, and everything we buy in every store we go to costs more.
Uh so it's really bad out there.
Bloomberg estimate their estimate is that U.S. households now are facing on average uh five thousand two hundred dollar inflation tax uh this year.
Uh, you know, Biden tapping into the oil reserves is a band-aid at best.
It's kind of it's kind of nuts.
And it's really scary because uh there was a report last week that 64% of American families are living paycheck to paycheck.
Dr. Oz, I I was there for uh a pretty significant period of my early adult life, and it's not a fun place to be.
Of the top ten killers of Americans, seven are financial.
I'll say it again.
Of the top ten reasons you will die uh prematurely, seven of them are financial.
Explain what you mean by that.
Things like bankruptcy, uh you know, having loans that you can't keep up with, intent intense financial pressure.
Even divorce, by the way, what really hurts people is often the financial stress of having to split your income in two and not having enough for two households.
So uh, and by the way, medical illness itself will cause bankruptcy.
So financial stressors, which is what America is witnessing, fifty, five hundred dollars out of an average family's home when they don't have more than four hundred dollars of savings is a shocking penalty.
It made even worse because it's unnecessary.
But even if it was necessary, it's really hard to come up with fifty, five hundred dollars of extra cash.
And it's leading to a whole swath of Americans.
I mean, this big event we did last night, the town hall with uh Rick Perry and Harold Hamm, we had I mean well over three hundred people there.
They they packed this place.
These people are animated.
They are frustrated.
They want to know how is it possible that the world in 14 months dissolved in front of them and they don't understand why we're not taking simple steps as we've been describing that would make a difference.
If in building a liquid natural gas facility in the Northeast, I don't know if people understand this.
In order to really help Europe, we have to convert our natural gas to a liquid version.
You have to send it down to the Gulf Coast.
They keep blocking, but I say Dave, bureaucrats in New England are blocking our ability to ship natural gas to the coast, put it into a tanker, and send it over to Europe to help.
They won't be able to get a lot of money.
I'm running out of time.
And by the way, it'll make Pennsylvania rich as hell.
I mean, it's great for the people of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Robbs, wish we had more time as always.
I'm supporting you and your your candidacy.
If people want to read your positions, where can they find you?
Dr. Roders.com.
Sean, thanks very much.
Everything you do has impact.
God bless you.
All right, appreciate it.
800-941 Sean, our number, your call's coming up next.
Quick break.
Right back.
Exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties every day.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800, 941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, now we have another record.
Uh, and that is another consecutive month so much for inflation being so transitory, which was their favorite talking points.
Uh now another gauge, a key inflation gauge closely monitoring, monitored by the Federal Reserve.
Yep, it's up 6.4%.
Another 40-year high.
Commerce department, largest year over year increase since 1982, excluding volatile prices for food and energy.
The so-called core inflation is still uh 5.4%.
I mean, it's an unmitigated disaster.
And by the way, this happened long before Putin invaded Ukraine.
So let's cut the crap and stop lying to people.
Listen to Nancy Pelosi lying.
Right now, um, and again, part of that justice is lowering cost.
Right now, of course, we have the Putin price hike uh at the pump.
And it is uh uh something that has to be addressed.
It the price of uh oil and gasoline uh gas at the pump started going up when he started circling uh Ukraine.
Uh-huh.
Not buying it.
Americans, they're suffering.
I mean when you got 60 some odd percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, it sucks.
You, Linda, you live paycheck to paycheck.
I remember what it was like.
I remember when I lived in Rhode Island for five years.
I remember I uh for a long period of time, I had like 200 in the bank.
And that was it.
That was my safety net.
And I it was old Stone Bank was the name of the bank I went to.
And I just didn't have the money to do these things.
My meal usually was something like meatloaf for the week, and I'd make I'd make a huge meatloaf.
You know, I love to cook.
I even like to cook cook back in the day.
You've actually bragged quite a bit about that meatloaf.
I have many uh tape of many tapes of that.
That's correct.
Um, I and you've had similar times where you struggled a little bit.
This means why I had to leave college twice.
I didn't have any more money to pay for it.
My parents desperately begged me to give some money and help me out, and I refused because I knew they didn't have the money to they couldn't afford it.
They could they barely they were they were gulping themselves.
I was not gonna take a penny from them, and I never did, and I'm I'm proud of the fact that I didn't.
But the difference is here, Sean, and this is a huge difference, is that this is a manufactured issue.
Everything about this is fake.
The president is nothing but fake news.
He's always been fake news.
He had 47 years of being a senator who did nothing, and we gave him four more years um having the highest uh office in our nation to show us just how effective he is at doing absolutely nothing, but at the same time hurting our nation in the worst ways possible by listening to people who have nothing but America last policies.
And so when you look at all of that, and he's standing up there today talking about how he's going to release a third of our of our oil reserves, and Ethan and I were talking about this, and I said, okay, so if if we're on the edge of a world war, then why are we releasing our oil reserves now when that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense?
You would think that we would keep everything as tight as possible and maybe do what makes the most sense, which is to drill here, drill now, which we could do and you know, completely relinquish all dependency on the EU, on Russia, on Venezuela, on OPEC, on any nation within the Middle East.
But instead of doing that, you do what hurts America.
Here's Biden's last 24 hours.
Lowest poll number he ever had with MBC, lowest numbers ever.
New inflation numbers, yeah.
Inflation's still at a 40 year high.
Uh he's releasing our our gas reserves to artificially lower gas prices.
That's called uh a national security risk number one, and it's only a band-aid that's not gonna work in the long term at all.
Mortgage rates now at a four-year high.
I've been telling you this is gonna happen.
Uh Democrats, they're saying forget it.
They keep getting out, and some 30 plus Democrats said they're not running anymore.
Because they know they're gonna lose.
And they don't want to lose.
They'd rather quit than lose.
Europe is about to have a natural g have natural gas cutoff from a war that started uh on Joe Biden's watch.
Oh, and yes, uh Omicron 2.0 is right here in the U.S. And Joe Biden admitted yesterday we don't have enough uh in terms of monoclonal antibodies.
Uh great, great week so far, Joe.
Unbelievable.
All right, let's get to our phones.
Uh we start with is it Valerie Valerie's in the great state of Florida.
Valerie is smarter than all of us that live in stupid states like New York, New Jersey, and California.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thanks for having me, Sean.
Um, I just wanted to tell you um thank you so much for um remembering those left in Afghanistan every single day.
Like you're the only person I know of that still acknowledges that and won't forget.
My brother was 23 years old when he was killed in action in Afghanistan.
And um, this was back in 2004, and so with time you go through the grief and you try to heal, and then uh what Joe did in Afghanistan, it just like ripped that wound open, and I I just became so angry because everybody just kept going about life like normal.
And I'm like, where's the outrage?
You know, like I literally first of all, let me let me say one thing, Valerie.
I'm so sorry.
What was your brother's name?
Ron Marine Corporal Ron Payne Jr.
Your brother, you loved your brother.
Was he an older or younger brother?
He was three years older.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm gonna tell you something.
It's because of p what they did in Afghanistan and elsewhere, that I have I have totally completely utterly changed my opinion about these politicians and war.
I don't trust any of them.
They start these wars and they're all gung-ho.
Yeah, let's yes, you know, they'll vote 4 uh 32 to whatever to three for the war.
And they go in gung-ho, and then all they they don't fight the war to win it.
Because they're gonna fight a war to win it.
You've got to destroy whoever the enemy is.
And will there be collateral damage?
Unfortunately, that is the nature of war.
You try to mitigate it.
We're good people.
We try to mitigate it.
And you have to go in with a mentality to win and destroy.
And so they don't fight it to win it.
Then they politicize it, and after thousands of people like your brother Ron die, then they come back and and so many thousands of others that come back without their legs and arms and and they're disfigured, and these horrific injuries that they now that now alter their lives forever.
These politicians, both sides, by the way, I'm not saying just Democrats.
They say never mind.
And we pull out the way Joe abandoned Americans, abandoned 80 billion in in high-tech military technology and equipment.
We leave our thousands of green card holders, people eligible to be in this country right now.
We abandoned them, even military family members.
We don't know the exact number of Americans we abandon, and the Afghan allies that we promised that if this day ever came, we'd get them the hell out of there.
Now we didn't say we'd take them here.
We said we'd get them out of there and and they could resettle somewhere else.
Those people have been killed.
They're being killed, even as we speak, and now the Taliban won't even let girls go to school anymore, as I predicted.
So I'm not uh I'm against it.
That's why I'm a Reagan doctrine guy, no boots on the ground, supply Ukraine the the weaponry so they can win the war against uh Vladimir Putin, and I'm a Trump doctrine guy.
You beat the enemy the way he kicked the living Adam ship right out of uh uh the caliphate and Solomani and Baghdadi and someplace in America, I don't know exactly where.
You had guys pushing buttons and with pinpoint accuracy, taking out the targets they needed to take out.
Well, get that that's the method that is that is war's future if we're smart and we we stay ahead of other countries' technology.
Where's our hypersonic missiles?
China has it, Russia has it.
Do we have it?
Every indication I I can see is Trump ordered it, and I don't know if we have it yet.
So I I just want you uh I really feel for you and for every other gold star family.
Um it's wrong what they've done.
It's just wrong.
And I I will tell you this.
Donald Trump was right about one thing with Iraq and Afghanistan should be included.
They need to compensate the families.
Did you now was your brother married?
Did he have kids?
He was engaged, he didn't have any kids.
And I'm sure his fiance will never be the same again.
Like you're probably never ever gonna be the same again.
That's how impactful it is and hurtful.
Yeah.
Um, but I just I want to thank you, you know, for remembering, not forgetting, like you're literally the only one I hear that acknowledges it every single day, and it means a lot to me.
And I listen to you during the day, I watch you at night because every day I wake up thinking things can't get worse, and it's just crazier and crazier.
And uh, you know, I guess uh it's crazy that I am considered a bigot because I choose to teach my son his body part, he's a boy, mommy's body part, I'm a girl, and that makes me have that parrot and bigot, and there's just like nine million other things that are just crazy in this country, and your voice is a voice of sanity, and I appreciate you using your platform to stand up for the country and to stand up for what's right and Valerie.
You're very kind.
I just want you to know from everybody that's hearing your voice.
I could tell you this whole audience uh feels for you.
And we want to just send out a lot lots of love, lots of prayers.
And that uh I I firmly believe in God.
I really do, with all my heart, mind, and soul.
I know God exists, and I believe in heaven and and I also believe there's a hell.
And I believe that one day you will be united with your hero brother Ron, and you will see him again with great joy in your heart and your mind.
I believe that.
That's weird.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you, Valerie.
God bless you.
Okay, thank you for the call.
It's heartbreaking.
It's Linda.
This is why.
I said, no more.
I'm not doing this anymore.
They don't fight to win.
They never fight to win.
They don't want to win.
They don't want to.
This isn't a bit, they don't fight to win.
No.
This is a fight.
I'm gonna fight to win.
If I lose, I lose.
But I'm not gonna, it's not gonna be for lack of effort.
And if it's I mean, she's now I mean, look at the pain.
It's never gonna go away for moms and dads.
I've been on so many gold star families.
Who checked his watch as the mur as the families of the 13 Marines that we lost when he pulled out of Afghanistan without telling anybody, he literally stood there and checked his watch.
That's what you're talking about.
When the bodies were brought back.
That is a hundred percent true.
And they were like, uh, yeah, that's what you gotta be kidding me.
Then he goes over to Poland and he's sitting there and they're giving pizza out to all the soldiers.
He gets a piece of peep a piece of pizza instead of waiting to eat with the soldiers, he digs right in, starts eating without them, and you see all the soldiers' faces like looking at him like, dude, really?
He's j he has absolutely no cooth.
He does not care about our military men and women, he does not care about their families, and any time you try and question it, then he talks about Bo.
And I'm like, just because your son gave his life to God and country does not mean that you did.
It means that your son did.
And obviously, you don't care about anybody else's kids because he's showing that to us every single day.
Quick break, right back to the phones, then vice president, former vice president Mike Pence will check in with us, and more of your calls than the next hour, a final hour free for all straight ahead.
Uh, Everyone knows I'm a pure talk customer.
One way, okay, 40-year high inflation, everything costs more.
It's nuts.
Never paid more for energy in our life or gas in our life.
You gotta find ways to save money.
That's where Pure Talk comes in.
You get the exact same cell towers as the big carriers.
You get the same 5G network, the same exact coverage.
Listen to this five-star review from Dave in New York.
I was hesitant about changing from Verizon to Pure Talk, but I was shocked to learn to learn that the exact same plan I had with Verizon that cost me 170 bucks would only cost 49 dollars with Pure Talk.
Then my next concern was well, how difficult is this going to be to make the change?
It was simple.
Verizon quickly gave me the code number without trying to talk me out of it.
I get the same exact coverage and plan, and I'm saving $120 a month.
If you've not made the switch, this is where you can save real money.
Just dial pound 250 on your cell.
Say the keyword save now.
They'll switch over in less than 10 minutes.
Pound 250, keyword saved now from Pure Talk.
Pure Talk.
Broadcasting Coast to Coast, border to border.

This is The Sean Hannity Show.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Let's say hi to Don in Virginia.
What's up, Don?
Glad you called, sir.
Sean, thanks for taking my phone call.
Um we own my son and I run a small limo service here in this little area.
Our major issue is our fuel cost.
It's gone up more than 25% this year.
And it can't it went up an extra 10 to 15 last year.
We haven't put any few extra costs or anything on.
We pride ourselves since we started our business.
That we were we weren't going to raise our prices.
So now with plums and graduations coming up.
I hate to tell you, Don, you're gonna have to.
And everybody understands it.
It's not your fault.
Um, I know drivers.
I've hired drivers to take me here there.
I I don't use Uber.
I use real companies.
That's just my own personal choice.
And I I'm and whatever, and I know they're charging me more, and I expect it, and it's not a big deal to me.
When I go visit my daughter at her school, um, uh, you know, I get up there, and and there's one guy that I know that has uh a I don't get an I don't like limousines.
It's not a limit, it's uh SUV.
And he picks me up and we talk about it.
We have like a 25-minute drive from the airport, and we talk a lot.
Love this guy.
His name's Nathan, he's a cool guy.
And uh, we have a great time.
And anyway, so you know, we I said, how's business?
He's doing great, thank God.
Uh, how's the fuel price impact in your business?
You know, he says, Look, I've I've all my customers understand, because he has regular customers like me.
They all understand the situation.
Nobody nobody's getting mad.
He said, if anything, people are being more generous because they think that I'm probably struggling more than I am.
He said, Everything is about the same for him in terms of his profit margin.
You're gonna have to raise prices, Don.
Um and I think your customers will understand.
Does that make sense?
Oh, yeah, we have some great uh steady customers, and they all understand.
They mention it.
My fear at this time period, it's the students are running limousines for their proms and their graduations.
I'm trying to hold off until after that.
Well, because if it gets too high, you're worried they're gonna drive, and God forbid something happens, you know.
