This is an iHeart Podcast.
And day 247, since your president Joey Biden promised he wouldn't abandon Americans and uh military family members and green card holders and our Afghan allies and oh yeah, 80 some odd billion dollars worth of the most sophisticated weaponry on the face of the earth and leave it for the terrorists supporting Taliban.
But he did.
And nobody else talks about it.
Um reason number 4,872,763, uh, why you should never live in New York.
I mean, never mind the Democratic Party's environmental lunacy has Joe Biden begging people who want to kill us to pump more oil, that he'd negotiate with people that chant death to America and suck up to murdering thug dictators rather than use our own natural resources and keep begging countries that hate our guts, uh, that have rejected him again and again and again and again and again.
He's like a stalker now with OPEC.
And because he's he's he's so beholden to the climate alarmist religious cult, better known as the new Green Deal Democratic Socialists.
Now, in New York, it was very interesting.
Did you see that poll that came out?
It was a what three or four-point race with Lee Zeldon versus Kathy Hokel, who took over for Andrew Cuomo.
Andrew Cuomo threatening to run as an independent.
That'll be interesting to watch and see.
If he doesn't, that might help elect Lee Zeldon, who knows.
Um, but anyway, she's now releasing a budget expected to include a plan to make New York the first state in the country to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in all new construction, according to the Food and Water Watch and other environmental groups.
Let me explain the consequences of this stupidity.
No more buildings will be built.
In her state of the state address, she committed to zero on-site greenhouse gas emissions for new construction no later than 2027.
How do you well what if you have to fire up a generator for crying out loud?
That's illegal.
It's I it's what are we gonna build uh uh what a towers with tall buildings with what toothpicks?
What is she thinking?
Uh anyway, another reason to defeat the left.
It's insane.
Um we have a lot of news today.
A lot of it is not great for Joe Biden.
Uh Biden caught again lying that he was a truck driver.
I mean, he keeps he's so lost.
Nobody wants to tell him Joey, that never happened, Joey.
Um, I want to urge everybody, because there's been a ton of headlines all week long.
Democratic anxiety grows over Biden's dismal poll numbers.
Democratic strategists say they're going to get slaughtered in November.
Um do not buy into their attempts to lower expectations.
There are a lot of tough races in this country this midterm election year.
And now, there have been years when like Republicans only have 170 House members, and for them to get control of the House of Representatives, they gotta win 40 seats or whatever the number is.
We're only five seats away.
You know, if we picked up an additional 30, 35, that would be massive.
So that's that's on that front.
But if you look at the Senate seats that are in play, it is every bellwether state, every st every state that's gonna matter in 2024, every swing state or every state that a Republican has to win.
We got Florida, Marco Rubio, he'll win Florida, I think, fairly easily.
Um supporting Herschel Walker as predicted, you know, that they're trying to tear Herschel Walker down because he went through a tough period in his life and he literally recovered.
Yeah, all this talk about, oh, all these NFL players that have had serious concussion related injuries, including Herschel, and that he went through a rough period and he got better, and we should be happy.
And he also renewed his religious faith.
Uh now they they just want to throw as much dirt on this guy as they can.
It's not gonna work in Georgia.
I'll tell you right now, the people of Georgia are not going to buy the these vicious vile attacks.
And I know exactly where they're coming from within the establishment Republican Party.
I know exactly who's doing these ads.
And it should it should anger anybody that that you know it's funny.
Let me just stop here.
All the times we get a rhino presidential candidate, John McCain, Mint Romney, right?
Oh, you you conservatives, listen, you don't want to help elect a Democrat.
You're always told to get on board.
We all get on board.
When are they going to get on board when the with the fact that the base of the Republican Party is America first, make America great.
Uh real conservatism.
Remember, the same establishment figures, they hated Ronald Reagan.
The term amiable dunce was not from the Democrats, not from the media mob.
That was from Republicans.
They hated Reagan.
Then they deified Reagan by the end of the day.
They hate Donald Trump's style.
Donald Trump's policies work and they're extraordinarily popular with the American people.
I'll take mean tweets over this, you know, this corpse of a president that we have that I don't think understands completely that today happens to be Tuesday.
So we got a, you know, we got a lot of ground to cover.
But you got Florida, you got Georgia, you got uh South Carolina.
Tim Scott will win easily, in my view.
I'm not sure who I'm supporting yet in North Carolina.
That primary's going on.
I'm watching that very closely.
Then you got New Hampshire, very hard state for Republicans to win.
You got Pennsylvania.
I'm supporting Dr. Oz, proudly in that state.
Ron Johnson, I'm supporting in Wisconsin.
I have not decided who I'm supporting yet in Ohio.
I've not decided.
Well, actually, I have decided, I have not decided in Missouri.
I have decided Bernovich in Arizona, and I have support uh decided Laxalt in Nevada.
And I just don't know enough.
I'm not going to give an endorsement until I know where these candidates truly stand.
And I want to know that if they mean what they say and they're going to go and fight.
That's what I want.
I'm going to put my conservative credentials on the line, like I did when I endorsed Trump early, and many conservatives call me.
I'd say every name in the book times a thousand.
What do you say, Linda?
Yeah, I think that's pretty fair.
And you notice that now many of them act like they're the biggest Trump supporters and have been from day one.
They just, you know, whatever.
It's a business, I guess, for some people.
One interesting side note, I was surprised to see this today.
Stacey Abrams down in Georgia.
She ran in Georgia for governor.
She still has not conceded that she lost.
Oh, I thought that was illegal.
I thought that was so bad.
That's awful.
It's a threat to democracy.
Anyway, she's never conceded the race.
Her lackluster personal finances and a hefty bill from the IRS gave a lot of Republicans fodder to question how she can manage a state budget when she struggled with her own debts.
That was an issue in 2018.
Now she's launching her second bid four years later.
That's not an issue.
Stacy Abrams is a multimillionaire.
She now says she's worth 3 million, 3.17 million dollars, according to state disclosures filed in March.
Now, compare that to four years ago, her net worth was 109,000 when she first ran.
So her ascent into millionaire status corresponds with her rise in national uh politics.
By the way, she maybe she has I don't, I don't know, maybe Donald Trump's economy really helped her out.
Maybe he did something really well for her.
But I thought that was an interesting side note.
One thing that is heating up is this issue of zero experience hunter.
Now, what did I tell you last week?
I said now that the media is acknowledging that the Hunter Biden laptop is real, and now that they're beginning to cover their asses and do a CYA, uh, that means that they have been tipped off that something is likely coming down the pike.
And according to a former U.S. attorney appointed by then President George W. Bush, the Biden grand jury is now sitting in Delaware, has collected enough Evidence to even implicate Joe Biden himself in a criminal conspiracy.
Now, the New York Post that originally broke the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story that was uh purposely suppressed by not only the media mob but by the big tech media mob.
Anyway, witnessed that testified before Hunter Biden's grand jury has been asked to identify who's the big guy in the first Sun's planned deal with the Chinese energy conglomerate.
We've chronicled this at length, as calls ramped up to have Biden included in a conspiracy probe.
The question arose after a witness was shown a piece of evidence while appearing in secret before the panel in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a source familiar with the proceedings.
This is not a complex complex case, said the former Utah attorney Brett Tolman telling the New York Post, he said that Hunter Biden's business partner, Tony Bobolinsky's confirmation that President Biden was the big guy in a proposed 2017 deal with CEFC China Energy would be considered evidence that other family members were involved.
Now, remember, Joe Biden has repeatedly said, Oh no, I knew I never once spoke to my son.
Now, one time about his foreign business dealings.
We now have pictures of them together eating dinner.
So he's lying.
He's been lying from the beginning.
In these emails, Hunter Biden is whining that he has to pay daddy's bills as part of the deal.
At another point, he talks about we got to put aside the big guy, and the big guy was obviously Joe Biden, so he gets his cut, his share.
Why do you think Joe Biden tried to leverage a billion dollars to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired that was investigating his zero experienced son making millions of dollars with Barisma Holdings?
You have any experience in energy?
No.
Oil, no, gas, no.
Ukraine?
No.
Why do you think they paid you all this money?
I don't know.
Because your dad's in charge of Ukraine?
Probably.
I mean, it's like he admits it.
Anyway, conspiracy is a standalone crime in our country.
You've certainly got enough to present to the grand jury that there is a conspiracy among Joe, brother James, and zero experience Hunter to bring in money to not declare that money, to not pay taxes on that money, and to do so from a country like China is not just red flags, there are also potential crimes being committed.
Now, this gets to the heart of where I've been taking this thing that nobody else seems to want to get to, and that is, huh?
I wonder what dirt Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and China have on Joe, James, and Hunter.
Because you know that they knew what they were doing, that they were buying access and influence, and that would mean that their contacts were probably all recorded.
That would mean that they had a full dossier about Hunter Biden's crack addiction and his uh preference for hookers.
So all of that has to be out there.
Now, mainstream media outlets, the White House ramping up claims, Joe Biden had nothing to do with this.
No, no, no.
We we believe he's gonna be found innocent.
I don't think they do that at all.
I don't think there's any evidence to the that supports that, just the opposite.
What we do know is that Joe did in fact know and discuss with his zero experienced son his foreign business dealing.
And so now Joe Biden has been pulled into this Hunter grand jury probe as this witness is asked to identify the big guy who would get the kickback in the Chinese energy giant from the Chinese energy giant after the former associate claimed it was the president.
That's not good for Joe.
That's not good for Hunter.
And if the last name was Trump, I guarantee you the mob, the media, big tech would be all over it.
But I'm not sure they're gonna be able to outrun this one.
Let's see.
Another piece out shows Hunter Biden, zero experience, sought to cash in with oligarchs during the first Russian war on Ukraine.
Sure, why not take advantage of the moment?
Never let a crisis go to uh waste.
Anyway, so the grand jury witness asked about specifically Joe Biden, the big guy.
Anyway, Ron Klain, apparently, the White House chief of staff reached out to Hunter Biden in September of 2012, wanted 20 help raising 20 grand for the vice president's residence foundation, telling him to keep it low-key to prevent bad PR.
Uh-huh.
He's you know, at some point, are we ever going to ask the question?
Who knew what about Joe's declining cognitive state?
And why was there who was involved in the cover-up of all of this?
This is now coming to fruition.
That's the only reason I'm telling you that the media mob that now admitting, yeah, the laptop was real.
Okay, this was two weeks before the election in 2020.
It's now April 5th, 2022.
And now we're finally acknowledging all of this.
Um Biden's tax plan will be the largest tax increase in history, number one, and number two, his new tax plan would push the individual income rate to the highest number in the entire developed world.
And as he loves to blame our sky high inflation on corporate greed or Vladimir Putin, uh, none of which is true.
Uh we had the same corporate greed during Trump months before Putin invaded Ukraine.
We had a 40-year high of inflation.
Same with gas prices.
We're up about a buck fifty a gallon before Putin invaded Ukraine because of his energy and economic policies.
Uh U.S. inflation started spiking in early 2021 when Joey became president and started uh eliminating energy independence and pushing for his build back better new green deal radical socialism, and of course, giving in to the climate alarmist religious cult.
And as a result, the damage has been massive.
As a result, we're now at a point.
Bloomberg is now estimating the Biden inflation tax per household is five thousand two hundred dollars a year.
In some cases more, in some cases a little bit less, depending how frugal you might be.
But let it be known.
John Castamiti said, yeah, food prices are going to continue to rise, yeah, for the foreseeable future.
Thank you.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
So Tiger Woods, it looks like, is gonna be playing in the Masters at Augusta this weekend.
How cool?
You know what the ratings are gonna be like for that?
They're gonna be astronomical.
You know, I will say this about the American people, the American public in particular.
Um, with all the troubles that Tigers had, I mean, it's it's been out there chronicled exhaustively.
Americans like when people make comebacks.
Americans like redemption.
Americans like, you know, here's one of the most gifted athletes ever.
Do you want to talk about a goat, greatest of all time?
One of the most gifted athletes ever.
When we had Jim Gray on talking about goats, he wrote the book, goats.
It's really a cool book about all the the best of the best in sports that he got to know and interview over the years and that he became friends with.
Didn't he say that he first interviewed Tiger when he was like six?
Like really young.
Do you remember how old it was?
I forget.
It's in his book.
He took he talked about the fact that he has been interviewing him since he was in grade school.
I mean, when he came back, I forget what year it was, and won Augusta.
Nobody saw that coming.
But with Tiger coming back, I mean, I have no idea.
I assume, I mean, there was a question about whether or not they'd even be able to save his leg.
His injury was so severe.
And they have, he's been rehabbing.
He's had a lot of injuries over the years, including his back, etc.
Um, and then he came back and won the masters, and it was like he couldn't believe it.
If he could play this weekend and play well, uh I mean, how great would that story be?
We have so much bad news we always talk about.
So he's won the masters five times in his career.
Second only Jack McGloss.
What you're looking this up, aren't you?
Uh you have that.
That's no way.
I know nothing.
Oh my God.
I would not even pretend to know this information.
I do not know this information.
By the way, you're Looking this up.
Absolutely not.
Nor would I pretend.
He won the masters for the first time in 97 at the age of 21.
Right.
And he wanted to be a good one.
That's what you wanted to know, right?
The first time.
He was 1999.
It was 1997.
He was 21.
What year was it that he won it with a big when it was a big comeback for him?
It wasn't that long ago.
2019, maybe.
Maybe 2019.
Because I remember I remember uh I think Trump Trump made a big deal about it.
Yeah.
Um it was it was just so good.
Uh it's just such a good, feel good story.
When he plays with his son, it's so awesome to watch that.
And they have professional players playing with a family member and his son.
Well, his son is a great player.
I'll tell you what I loved.
What I really loved.
And this is just was very sweet, was when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame recently, I think it was last month or so.
And his daughter got up and did the induction and talked about the fact that he had been an amazing dad despite everything that had gone on in his life, and he had a huge tribute to his own parents and how they mortgage their home, you know, to put him on the field and or what is it, the course, put him on the course, put him on the course, and whatever.
Get him lessons, all the things.
You know what I'm talking about.
But the family aspect, he's such a, you know, say whatever you want about him, but he's been a good father and a good son.
You know what infuriates me?
So my son is a much better athlete than I am, and I was a good athlete, he's much better.
And you know, and I remember for years I tried to play golf, and and I was getting decent at it, pretty decent at it.
I could even shoot in the 80s, low 80s at times.
And anyway, I've just not been able to play the last number of years for one reason or another.
Um, more recently because of injuries, but that's a different story for a different day.
And then, you know, I never drove a ball 295 yards of my life, and then there's my son who's played five times, and he drives the ball 295 yards, and it looks like he didn't even swing.
I'm like, you uh you got to be kidding me.
I'm gonna do it.
Does he want to play for real or does he play for fun?
Um I you know, mostly for fun because he doesn't play that much.
Okay, but he's got such great eye hand coordination, and you know, he's hit so many balls in his life that it just comes naturally to him.
And it's frustrating.
If he ever really cared, he'd I'm sure he'd be a scratch golfer.
I'm gonna learn how to be a scratch golfer.
That's I think this is a good sport.
What does scratch golfer mean?
I have no idea, but I know it's it's a good thing.
When people say it, it means you're good at the sport, right?
You're good at the sport.
What does it mean to get a par?
No idea.
What does it mean to do that?
I have no idea.
What is what does it mean to get a birdie?
I have no idea.
Bogey, no idea.
Double bogey.
Listen, I know what I know, and I don't know.
She doesn't know what a bogey is.
She's not gonna know what a double bogey is.
Come on, man.
Thank you, Jason.
Okay, this is purely for entertainment purposes for our.
By the way, Linda, you should not take up golf.
Don't do it.
It's the worst the most frustrating.
You don't have the temperament for it.
I don't have the temperament for it.
It's the best athletic.
AKA no New Yorkers should play golf.
The best athletes who retire play golf and they stink at it, and and they have to be.
Oh, it was hard.
But wouldn't it be amazing if like somebody took me out there and they were like, okay, just try, and like I was like a natural.
I promise you, you're not you're you can't play golf.
Just play it casually.
Don't try and play it to win.
Yeah, you just go out, you hit it.
Like when we weren't used to play, I mean, you know, we always started with fun, but it was like nine o'clock bloody marry time and and Monte Cristo number two time, and we just Bloody Marys are my favorite beverage, uh alcoholic beverage, other than Tito's and bonnet.
So the person that loves to play with us the most is our our we love our our caddy.
We have uh Tony, and he's just an amazing.
We used to put money in the cup.
If like uh one of my best friends, I won't mention the name, I don't want to embarrass people.
If he had a tap in or a three-foot putt, and I'd take a hundred dollar bill and I'd put it in the cup, he never hit it in a million years.
If I didn't put anything in the cup, he'd hit it every time.
Yes, depression.
Every single time, and the rule was that if he gets it in, the money goes to the caddy, goes to Tony.
And that's the rule.
And Tony did have a couple of of days where he made a couple of thousand dollars.
We we really went to town.
Um Anyway, that was back in the day.
I miss it.
Anyway, uh I saw something today.
Bill Gertz is one of the best defense department Pentagon reporters out there.
And I saw this story in the Washington Times that he wrote, and I said, uh oh.
If this is true, I'll tell you where my suspicions lie in a minute that the Biden Pentagon would be eliminating the Buster bunker nuke that could take out Iran's nuclear weapons programs.
Now, we know where Iran's nuclear weapons facilities are, and most of them are buried deep, deep, deep underground.
The B-83 is the only weapon we have capable of addressing certain threats and targets that can't be dealt with any other way.
So my question is, is this all part of this nuclear giveaway deal with Iran?
That would even allow Russia to broker the deal and Russia to build the Iranians a nuclear facility that would take the Iranian uh revolutionary guard off the no fly list that would result in tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets to be handed over to the mullahs in Iran just so Joe can buy oil from tyrants that chant death to America because the Biden Pentagon is going to eliminate this sold nuclear gravity bomb in the U.S.
strategic weapons arsenal capable of blasting deeply buried underground structures as part of Biden's uh review of strategic weapons policy according to U.S. officials.
If they retire the B-83, that means we cannot stop the Iranians from getting a nuclear weapon.
And I have to wonder, considering they are negotiating with Iran, is that part of the negotiation?
Good grief.
It's when does this presidency end?
I mean, it can't end soon enough.
You know, um, we went over the atrocities.
We have Sean Penn on tonight.
And you say, Honey, why are you having Sean Penn on?
Because interestingly, I think it's interesting, he was in Ukraine doing a documentary on Ukraine on Zelinski, former uh comedian who ran on an anti-corruption platform.
And as many of you know, I've been very critical of previous governments in Ukraine for the very issue of corruption.
You know, Donald Trump's famous perfect phone call, and it really was nothing wrong with that phone call was about uh are you gonna be corrupt like the people before you or if we do support you financially, are you going to use the money the way it's intended to be used?
And that was basically the question.
And that became the quid pro quote.
Well, the same people ignoring Joe Biden leveraging a billion tax dollars, you're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor investing investigating my zero experienced son hunter.
And they've son of a B, they fired the prosecutor and took the billion.
Welcome to the world of Ukraine political corruption.
There's certain things what I can't take, and it was all over the media and the papers today.
Um, the mass graves that they have.
Now, we told you about this town uh outside of Kyiv, and we showed you just how bad the damage was.
And we showed you the mass graves uh when last night on TV.
This is Bucha, it's a suburb of Kyiv, where retreating Russian soldiers left behind mass graves, executed civilians on their way out, and the bombing then went up many fold inside of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
We've already seen other mass graves, and we've other all these other images of civilians, men, women, and children lying in the streets, sometimes with their hands tied behind their back, but obviously civilians, they're not soldiers, um, and and just murdered in cold blood, indiscriminate bombing.
We've seen entire apartment complexes wiped out, entire neighborhoods wiped out.
The city of Meriopol is pretty much rubbed now, and And all the other bombings that have taken place, hospitals, reports of uh Putin using Ukrainian children as human shields.
You know, it's at some point when the bodies, and we have the images, and I know there are some people skeptical out there, and I look at these people, I'm like, what part of these images do you think are fake?
Because some people, well, are you sure this isn't just propaganda?
No, this is a real war.
Putin's firing real missiles, and he's leveling real cities, and he's doing it indiscriminately.
That's not an issue in dispute here.
But satellite images showed, for example, and this was in the New York Post today, a 45-foot trench filled with civ civilian corpses in Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, bodies upon bodies.
It's estimated to be 280, maybe as high as 300 in this particular mass grave.
When the Ukrainian army retook the town, they found the civilian corpses just about everywhere.
Single residential street held the remains of at least 20 men in civilian clothes, you know, all over the streets, videos, photos of one man's body, his hands tied behind his back and his open Ukrainian passport by his side, two other corpses, you know, laying next to bicycles, another next to abandoned car.
You know, use whatever phrase you want to use, genocide, war crimes, war criminal.
No, what we have here is a you know, human evil.
Uh the people committing atrocities against innocent civilians.
You know, it's not this isn't me picking Ukraine over Vladimir Putin or picking Scythe, it's not.
My rule stays the same, and that is that if you invade a sovereign country and you kill innocent men, women, and children, you forfeit your right to lead any country and you forfeit your right to live.
Just a simple rule.
And America's role to me should be clearly defined, and that is to provide the Ukrainian people who have shown their willingness to fight for their country to stop Vladimir Putin and his territorial ambitions here in Ukraine with the weaponry that they need,
very specifically drones, anti-missile defense systems, anti-aircraft defense systems, uh stinger missiles, javelin missiles, munitions, other things, allow the the Poland to give them the MIGs that they want desperately.
Um, but none of this is a major issue.
The problem is is the West is not moving fast enough.
This is what Zelensky keeps saying.
I don't know about Zelensky.
I know one thing that I can say about him that I admire.
Like many other leaders of countries, when moments like these come, he had he, I think the United States was one of the countries offering him asylum.
We know that mercenaries have been sent in by Putin to kill Zelensky and his family.
There's been many reports about it.
Makes sense, killing children.
Why wouldn't he kill try and kill Zelensky?
Um he could have gotten on a private jet.
He could have escaped, like so many other leaders do, with cash, you know, commodities, precious metals, gold and silver, and said, see you later.
I'm out of here.
He hasn't done that.
That intrigues me.
So the fact that Sean Penn was there, I'm I'm interested in the story.
I think you'll find it interesting tonight.
Um, we're going to talk about politics.
No, because we disagree on everything else politically.
Uh, and I'm more interested in what he saw and what maybe he'll share some video with us.
I'm pretty sure he will.
Anyway, 800 941 Shawn is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
