All right, News Roundup, Information Overload Hour, 800-941-SHAWN. | |
Our number, if you want to be a part of the program, we're going to get to our friend Colonel Oliver North here in just a second. | |
We found out yesterday that, and here's like the FoxNews.com headline, Roe v. | |
Wade ruling has Biden administration now bracing for a nationwide wave of violence. | |
May 13th memo, Department of Homeland Security detailing ongoing investigations into threats. | |
Well, we've already had Molotov cocktails. | |
You know, thrown into two pro-life organizations. | |
Uh that one in Oregon, one I believe in in Wisconsin. | |
That's already happened. | |
So now if people don't like a court ruling, we're gonna dock Supreme Court justices. | |
We're gonna protest in front of their homes. | |
By the way, Ron DeSantis made it illegal to do that in Florida. | |
He's right to do so. | |
Uh and it's so dangerous on so many different levels, it's so obviously dangerous. | |
And then, of course, you got the rhetoric led by Chucky Schumer, you know, about electing Republicans. | |
Now remember, Roe v. | |
Wade overturned, does not make abortion in the United States in any way, shape, manner, or form illegal. | |
It sends that decision back to the states because that right that they decided on, putting in Roe v. | |
Wade was not enumerated in the Constitution. | |
You know, that document that matters a little bit. | |
So here's here's what Schumer's saying to whip up his base. | |
Vote, elect more pro-choice democrats if you want to see a woman have control over her own body. | |
Elect more pro-choice democrats if you want to protect a woman's freedom and right to choose. | |
Elect more MAGA Republicans. | |
If you want to see a nationwide ban on abortion, if you want to see doctors and women arrested, if you want to see no exceptions for rape or incest. | |
wrong lie on every single solitary level. | |
Now, imagine Sean Hannity goes to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, which I would never do, or Sean Hannity tells people to go to the homes of Supreme Court justices, which I would never do, or go to the homes of any elected official or anybody in government for that matter. | |
Uh I don't support violence in any way, shape, manner, or form, and I've been consistent throughout the summer of 2020, January 6th, and now they're talking about if they don't get their way, well, get ready. | |
It's gonna be a violent summer. | |
Anyway, listen to uh you want to talk about a threat. | |
Where's the committee looking into Chuck Schumer's threat against Supreme Court justices? | |
I want to tell you, Gorzach. | |
I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. | |
You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. | |
Can you imagine if I said that on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court? | |
I doubt it. | |
Anyway, what is a very extremely timely book? | |
He's a phenomenal author, always has been. | |
Our friend Colonel Oliver North uh joins us, and he's here to talk about the a new book that he's written. | |
It's called Tragic Consequences. | |
The price America is paying for rejecting God and how to reclaim our culture for Christ. | |
This when I when I got a hold of this, this first of all, the the title intrigued intrigued me so deeply. | |
Because this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. | |
Amen. | |
And brother. | |
They you know, back in the what was it? | |
I think till the early sixties, peop the kids used to read Bibles and say the Lord's Prayer and pray in public schools. | |
And by the way, nobody got uh nobody got harmed by that. | |
But now you can't even mention God. | |
No, no. | |
So look, you know, the timing for this book is not an accident, it's intentional. | |
Uh the 2022 election season, as you know better than most, is now underway. | |
Those that we nominate and elect are going to define the future of our country. | |
That's the most important reason for putting this book out when we did. | |
It's it's written by two U.S. Marines, which I know is going to somewhat as a shock to the New York Times folks, because they can't even believe Marines can read, much less wrong. | |
But what we're doing is trying to tell the. | |
And by the way, Colonel, with all due respect, I need to correct you, and say first say Semper Fi, and second say uh every Rami every Marine I've ever met, uh they're the bravest of the brave, the toughest of the tough, and smart as hell. | |
Well, it's you're kind, brother, and you and I have spent a lot of time together, and I'm grateful. | |
And I'm glad grateful to launch this book on your show. | |
So thank you very much for that. | |
Look, we wrote about this because the cultural decline that we're seeing all around us is now right in front of everybody. | |
It's not just the cost of filling up your gas tank. | |
It's not just a terrible crime that's the crime wave that's sweeping the country. | |
It's not just the illegal immigrants that are being allowed to cross the border, it's all of the above and more. | |
I mean, think about you mentioned it very clearly. | |
For since the second of May, when the Alito draft of a decision by the Supreme Court was leaked intentionally, and I believe probably unlawfully, there have been riots in front of the Supreme Court in at the homes of several justices. | |
What they're trying to do is prevent the court from reversing their January twenty-two nineteen seventy-three Roe versus Wade decision that you accurately described, it would send back to the states the decisions on whether a woman had a right to in that state to have an abortion. | |
In other words, to kill her baby. | |
During the hearings on all of this, by the word, by the way, the word mother and the word baby were barely mentioned. | |
The words were used was a very good thing. | |
By the way, you do know that this past week that Chuck Schumer brought up an abortion bill to codify Roe into law. | |
Right. | |
That would have allowed abortions in every state in the country. | |
States would have no say that would allow people to have abortions up until the moment of birth, and that would be legal under their law. | |
How sick is that? | |
And maybe they're after it. | |
Remember, Roe vs. | |
Wade did more than legalize infanticide. | |
It launched an assault on the sanctity of human life. | |
And of course, this past weekend we saw two examples of that. | |
Well, it on Saturday, May 14th, while pro-abortion protesters were threatening the safety of justices Alito, Thomas Kavanaugh, Barrett, a hate-filled 18-year-old drove more than three hours to Buffalo, New York to kill ten and wound three, mostly black Americans. | |
He told investigators, all he cared about was the color of their skin. | |
The following day, Sunday, May 15th, Lone Gunman opens fire at the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Orange, California, Orange County, California, killing one and seriously wounding four others. | |
It's apparently a political issue, but what we do know for sure, the guy who is shooting has no regard for the sanctity of human life. | |
Interestingly enough, chapters three and four of this book that you've got in your hand that you're kind of introduced for us, those two chapters deal with the issue of abortion and the issue of madness with firearms. | |
And I'm talking to you as a former president of the National Rifle Association. | |
The problem isn't the gun. | |
It's the person carrying the gun. | |
It's in the heart of that person. | |
And what we offer in this book is not just gun control and abortion, but a whole range of issues that ought to be on the minds of every one of us as we go to the polls. | |
And by golly, you said it best just a few moments ago, bringing us back into this break. | |
Get out and vote. | |
Good lord, if you don't, you're you're absenting yourself from your responsibilities as an American. | |
And and it's it's funny because this is very timely even for my own personal life. | |
And for the last number of years, I have dedicated a lot more of my life to my faith. | |
I don't talk a lot about it publicly. | |
And I look back and the whirlwind that you have been a big part of every step of the way. | |
And I feel beyond blessed. | |
I feel it's a an undeserved life. | |
Um, you know, when it when you start out with your mom as a prison guard, you die as a waiter and family corporation guy. | |
Um I don't think my parents ever thought I'd be successful at anything, but I did work hard, and and I struggled for a long time to pay my my bills and pay my rent and pay for everything else in between. | |
And what I realized is when you have time to stop and be still and contemplate and pray and reflect and meditate, you begin to realize that God has his hand on all of us. | |
And I truly believe I I did learn a little Latin in in high school because I went to Catholic schools for twelve years. | |
And the word education literally the root derivative is at Ducare to bring forth from within. | |
Right. | |
Well, that means God put it there. | |
And I do believe with all my heart that God created every man, woman, and child on this earth. | |
But not perfect, but he created us. | |
And this journey of ours is to find him and find our purpose. | |
Well, that's why this book has in each chapter a can do section, which offers strategies for individuals and churches and um and groups of political people, no matter what, to turn America from the path of destruction to a path of salvation and freedom. | |
I was asked the other day, right as we're getting ready to do this, what's what's a what's a really salient verse for you, North? 'Cause I I deeply believe I'm alive today, not just because of the hand of God at the moment of conception, but multiple times over the course of my lifetime, when the last words out of my mouth might have been, dear God help me. | |
Because you're not going to be able to do that. | |
Well, I could think of two times because you got two Purple Hearts, and I think you were up for a third one that you you kind of didn't want because it would have mandated you get out of the service. | |
I know that's for sure, and I know you took this little trip known to uh uh to a country known as Iran, and I knew that you had in your pocket a pill that would have killed you, a suicide pill, uh if things went down badly, and you took that risk for your country. | |
Well, yeah, I did. | |
And and to a certain extent I look back on it now and I say, look at what my family went through as a consequence of that. | |
Targeted for assassination by Abu Nidal, terrorists actually came to our home when we lived in Great Falls, Virginia. | |
I look back on those times and I say to myself, wouldn't it have been better if I didn't spend that much time? | |
I'm glad, blessed that I got the opportunity to serve in the Reagan administration. | |
By the way, lost a dear friend from that, Bud McFarlane, who had been my boss. | |
Bud McFarlane, the reporters had called up and said, Don't you have something negative to say about Bud MacFarlane? | |
Here's what I have to say. | |
He was a friend. | |
He was a brave Marine who served in combat. | |
He had the courage to go back to to go to a place where he might never have returned, because I didn't just have pills for me. | |
I had pills for all of us that Bill Casey had given us. | |
Possibly we could have been detained and never heard from again. | |
Bud McFarlane had the courage to do that. | |
He served three presidents. | |
And ultimately, at the end of the day, Bud McFarland was the reason why the case against me brought by the special persecutor was dropped. | |
So Bud McFarlane will miss you. | |
And when the time comes to interview at Armageddon, you're you were kind of the first of the uh victim of the witch hunting and the two-tier justice system. | |
And I watched every moment of those hearings at the time, fascinated by it. | |
And it frankly motivated me and inspired me to get on radio because I started calling radio talk shows, and and I realized uh I think I can do it better than this guy. | |
And and that's honestly how my career was built. | |
Uh and I first got on the radio in 1987. | |
Well, and I'm glad that we got to be great friends because between the two of us, beyond blessed. | |
Wonderful opportunities to raise money to help educate the children of American heroes. | |
You and I and Charlie Daniels and some great bands did everything five summers in a row, ten unbelievable. | |
We looked at those days, and we did great things for those to express the gratitude of a grateful nation to those who served in our enforces. | |
By the way, on Memorial Day weekend, I'm going to be at the Heroes Honor Festival in Daytona at the Speedway to salute our veterans and particularly my Vietnam War comrades in arms. | |
And you can get tickets for that at HonorFestival.com. | |
And since this book is much the topic of it, I'll have it there. | |
But you can also get it. | |

Sean Hannity, our dear friend. | |
All right, quick break. | |
More with Colonel Oliver North, who's with us. | |
His new book, by the way, is out. | |
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere, tragic consequences. | |
More with the Colonel on the other side, then we'll get to your calls 800-941 Sean is our number. | |
We continue now. | |
Colonel Oliver North is with us. | |
A brand new book is out, Tragic Consequences. | |
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com. | |
Now bookstores everywhere, uh, paying the price America is paying for rejecting God and how to reclaim our culture for Christ. | |
You know what's amazing in this in the course of this life, and I'm running out of time here. | |
You know, we're all so busy. | |
You're, you know, you you're working hard, you're trying to pay your bills, you you're taking care of your kids, you're racing off to this event, that event, whatever you happen to be doing. | |
And but when you get the time and you reflect, and you look at the majesty of God's creation, you know, universes within universes within universes. | |
I know we're not meant to comprehend it in this lifetime, but I believe that there's paradise on the other side of this life. | |
And um, I believe in a heaven and I believe in hell too. | |
And I don't want to go to the other place. | |
I deserve it, but I don't want to go there. | |
So here's the quick verse. | |
When somebody asked me, is there proof? | |
Yes. | |
It's Romans 10 9, Paul's letter to the church in Rome. | |
10 9 is the 10th chapter, 9th verse. | |
If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. | |
That's not only an individual. | |
I confess all of that. | |
It's not only for you and me, it's for our nation as well. | |
We need to save this nation. | |
I can't imagine the sport. | |
Without the United States of America, the world is in deep trouble, and we're seeing it play out in real time because we don't have a president that knows that today's Wednesday. | |
Colonel North love the book, Tragic Consequences, the price America's paying for rejecting God, how to reclaim our culture for Christ. | |
Uh, it's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and now in bookstores everywhere. | |
Colonel, appreciate you. | |

We love you. | |
God bless you, and my best to everybody in your family. | |
Semprify Marine. | |

At 25 to the top of the hour, we have now learned from whistleblowers that, in fact, the FBI targeted parents via terrorism tools, despite sworn testimony by the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, that it didn't happen. | |
Now, Congressman Jim Jordan, Congressman Mike Johnson, now have evidence that the FBI, in fact, did target parents Remember that whole domestic terrorists, you know, moms and dads speaking at school board meetings. | |
Yeah, well, Merrick Garland said it's not happening. | |
We are not investigating peaceful protests or parent involvement at school board meetings. | |
There's no uh precedent for doing that, and we would never do that. | |
We are only concerned about violence, threats of violence against school administrators, teachers, staff, people like your mother, a teacher. | |
That is what we're worried about. | |
We are worried about that across the board. | |
We're worried about threats against members of Congress. | |
We're worried about threats against police. | |
Apparently it happened. | |
And anyway, in a letter now addressed to the Department of Justice, uh, Jim Jordan and Congressman uh Mike Johnson said they have evidence. | |
The FBI labeled dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the Bureau's counterterrorism division to assess and track the investigations related to school boards. | |
These are parents saying we're against critical race theory. | |
These are parents saying we want age-appropriate materials taught to our kids. | |
These are our parents that are unhappy with the education curriculum and are speaking out rightly so. | |
You would think you want more parental involvement in schools, not less parental involvement. | |
Anyway, this evidence has come through brave whistleblowers within the Department of Justice, and they now, Jim Jordan and Congressman Mike Johnson have now sent a letter to Merrick Garland uh demanding answers to these very specific allegations, and Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio joins us now. | |
this is a big deal because if, in fact, he did this and lied to Congress about it, that means he should be removed from office. | |
Blueless, Sean. | |
I mean, because he said he wasn't going to use any terrorism measures to go after moms and dads. | |
Well, that's exactly what it looks like to happen. | |
Happened based on whistleblowers and based on two dozen cases, more than two dozen cases that they that they uh talk to us about. | |
So that's the scary part. | |
And again, Sean, you've talked about this better than anyone. | |
When you view it in context, the disinformation governance board, the abuse that at the at the FISA court, the doxing, what's going on, and if they are to enforce 18 USC section 1507 that says you shall not go to a residence of a justice, a judge or justice and try to intimidate them. | |
When you when you put it all together, you're like, holy cow, this is what's going on, and it's moms and dads. | |
You saw the examples of one was a mom, if so, if you're a mom in the group, Moms for Liberty, who happens to believe in the second amendment, and you show up at a school board meeting to advocate for the best interest of your child, look out. | |
The snitch line is gonna someone's gonna report you, which is exactly what Mayor Garland set up, and the FBI is gonna come and do an investigation. | |
That is not how it's supposed to work in our country. | |
You say in your letter these investigations into concern parents were the direct result of his very specific October the fourth directive to the FBI, and every one of these cases was initiated following his directive, and each of the complaints came into the FBI through the same snitch line, the National Threat Operations Center, highlighted in the press release accompanying the uh October 4th memorandum. | |
And one complaint even told an FBI agent uh that they reported the tip of the FBI because of the snitch line, despite having no specific information about any real or actual threat. | |
Yeah, they didn't like the person. | |
That's not how America operates for goodness sake. | |
But but understand too, Sean. | |
Remember what happened. | |
September 29th, left-wing political organization sends a letter to the Biden White House. | |
Five days later, October 4th, Merrick Garland issues the memorandum to every single U.S. attorney in this country, set up this snitch line. | |
16 days after that, the FBI sends out an email, put the threat tag designation on cases that you're looking at. | |
All that happens in 22 days. | |
When have you ever seen the federal government move with that kind of speed, that kind of intensity? | |
Never happens. | |
But when it's about chilling the speech of parents of moms and dads who are fed up with the very things you just talked about, oh my goodness, we're going to go get them. | |
But forget about the fact that you got protesters at Justice Kavanaugh's home trying to influence a pending decision in front of a separate and equal branch of government. | |
By the way, it's it's U.S. Code uh 1507. | |
It's a violation of law punishable by fine and or imprisonment. | |
Yep. | |
Yep, it sure is. | |
But they're so busy, I guess, going after moms and dads, they don't have time to do that. | |
And and and the silence, as you pointed out, Sean, from uh the people in this administration relative to that. | |
It just goes this is all about silencing conservative. | |
Today's the t today's left says if you don't agree with me, you're not allowed to talk. | |
And if you try, we're gonna call you a racist, we're gonna dox you, we're gonna cancel you, we're gonna come after you, you're gonna face what Barry White said the digital thunderdome that the left will put you in and attack you. | |
That is how they operate, and that again is not supposed to be how it works. | |
Let me go to the whistleblower aspect of this. | |
How certain are you? | |
How overwhelming is the evidence? | |
Is it incontrovertible that in fact he lied before Congress and he did the very thing he said that is that that his department would not do? | |
Well, look, it it could be that he just didn't know what was going to flow from this, how it worked. | |
Um I don't know. | |
But that's that uh as I've said before that's a concern in and of itself. | |
What I know is we had multiple whistleblowers come forward. | |
They were so concerned about what they saw. | |
It ran so contrary to how our good people, all those good people in the FBI, the the people you and I have have have complimented who do hard work, the vast majority of people, it goes so against what they're supposed to be doing that these two brave these individuals came forward and said, We're gonna give this information to the Judiciary Committee, and God bless them for doing so. | |
And by the way, Jim Jordan has his book out, do what you said you would do, which by the way would be refreshing with a politician. | |
Let me play the attorney general in his own words, testifying that they are not investigating parents involved at school board meetings. | |
Is there legal precedent for the Department of Justice to investigate to investigate peaceful protests or parent parental involvement at public schools uh meetings? | |
Uh uh just to say again, we are not investigating peaceful protest uh or parent involvement at school board meetings. | |
There's no uh precedent for doing that, and we would never do that. | |
We are only concerned about violence, threats of violence against school administrators, teachers, staff, people like your mother, a teacher. | |
That is what we're worried about. | |
We are worried about that across the board. | |
We're worried about threats against members of Congress. | |
We're worried about threats against police. | |
Now you give very specific examples in one investigation uh following Merrick Garland's directive, the FBI field office interviewed a mom for allegedly telling us school board, well, we're coming for you, and the complaint which came into the snitchboard, | |
if you will, um, alleged that the the mom was a threat because she belonged to a quote right wing group known as moms for liberty, moms for is that a right wing group that I I've never heard of moms for liberty being a right wing group. | |
Yeah, no, Sean, this is this is no different than what the IRS did uh uh ten years ago under the uh President Obama when they went after conservatives across the country and they sent them letters. | |
We call that the Hannity treatment, but go ahead. | |
Exactly. | |
Exactly. | |
You know what it's like, and but they said to these conservative groups, oh, do you have pastors praying at your meetings? | |
What do you show us your minutes? | |
Who supports your all kinds of stuff they're not supposed to ask, not supposed to, but it's the same thing to kill speech. | |
And they did it back before the 2010 election and the 12 election because they wanted to impact politics. | |
They're doing the same thing here. | |
Although I think it backfired. | |
It backfired in with Glenn Young in Virginia last fall. | |
I think it's gonna backfire uh this November. | |
I think the American people and and moms and dads are gonna show up in a big way and say we're tired of this Democrat uh control. | |
We we have another example. | |
The FBI's field office opening an investigation subsequent to Merrick Garland's directive into a dad that opposed mask mandates. | |
Again, that came that that tip came through the snitch line and alleged that the dad fit the profile of an insurrectionist because he rails against the government and believes conspiracy theories, etc. | |
etc. | |
Yeah, you almost have to laugh because it was like it was people who believed in the second amendment and didn't like what government was doing. | |
Who started this place called America? | |
And this is the one where there was no basis, none whatsoever. | |
Well, I didn't know of any threats he made, didn't know of any c any crime. | |
I just turned him in, and this is what runs contradictory to what Merrick Arlen said because the very apparatus they set up the snitch line and then the threat tag designation, that's exactly how it played out, and the person who did the threat on the government sponsored snitch line had nothing, but they still now is this threat tag going to be stay associated with this individual as they move forward in life? | |
What happened? | |
I mean, I that's the concern you have too 'cause that that's in the back of Americans' minds, and that's that's what they want. | |
So it will chill political activity, chill First Amendment protected speech. | |
All right, quick break more with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan on the other side, then we'll get to your calls. | |
800 nine four one Sean is on number as we continue. | |
Right, more with Congressman Jim Jordan of the great state of Ohio in another case initiated again after Merrick Arland's directive, the FBI field office opened an investigation into a Republican state elected official, or actually officials over allegations from a state Democratic Party official that Republicans incited violence by expressing public displeasure with school districts, vaccine mandates. | |
Um, isn't that called um d normal political discourse? | |
Yes. | |
You got Democrats going to the snitch sign to go after Republicans, using government resources to go after the people that are I mean, that this is again, I I said it so many. | |
This is never supposed to happen in our country. | |
And this is what got has got so many Americans so concerned because it's one after the other. | |
It was just two weeks ago that we learned about Nina Jankovitch and the disinformation governance board. | |
It was just a few weeks but you know, be b before that that we we learned uh last fall about. | |
By the way, she's the biggest purveyor of disinformation herself. | |
I mean, and then Mayorcus says he had no idea that she she was a purveyor of disinformation, nor is he gonna fire her, nor will he give uh anybody the vetting process and why they didn't vet her. | |
Yeah, yeah. | |
So the lady who said the dossier was real and the Hunter Biden story was false, gets to decide what is information and disinformation. | |
Oh, okay, I see how this works. | |
And and moms and dads who were d who are standing up for their kids, the well-being and best interest of their children, somehow they're gonna get uh a you know reported on the snitch line, and somebody from the FBI is gonna show up and investigate. | |
Again, this is this is why it's so wrong. | |
And we're gonna keep pressing. | |
What needs to happen, Sean, is the attorney general should come back in front of the judiciary committee and he should say, you know what? | |
I didn't know this was if that's if this is the case, we are ending this program. | |
The snitch line is shut down. | |
We are not. | |
That's what should happen. | |
And frankly, he should have to answer our questions about what he knew back in October on October 21st when he testified. | |
Un unbelievable stuff. | |
Where do you think this goes uh as it relates to to things? | |
Because them Democrats praised a hearsay non-whistleblower. | |
Um, then after the election one when you had real whistleblowers signing uh affidavits under the threat of penalty of perjury about things that they saw that they believe were unlawful with the election in 2020, they were completely ignored. | |
Now we have whistleblowers within the DOJ. | |
Uh it appears that there's a a very high likelihood that the that the uh attorney general may have lied under oath. | |
Uh where does this go from here, or is it the typical a two-tier justice system that we always get? | |
Unfortunately, I think it it's you know, I don't think the the Justice Department's gonna respond to our letter. | |
I don't think that Jerry Natter's gonna call Merrick Arland back in in front of us to to answer our questions to get, you know, let us cross examine him. | |
But um, you know, we're gonna keep pressing. | |
We're gonna keep talking about this, and that's all you can do in the minority, and then you have an election, and then you you you you begin to frame it more and you do the investigation so you get all the facts, and then you have a presidential election and you put someone else in as attorney general when when President Trump runs and and wins the city. | |
But this is this is how insane things are getting. | |
You have a Colorado mother saying that a middle school invited her daughter to a secret LGBTQ plus club and told students to keep that information from their parents. | |
You have a California school district to probing students on how often they they hang out with people of different gender identities. | |
I mean, at what point are we going to maybe go back to the basics because we pay more per capita per student on education uh than any other industrialized country with the worst results? | |
Why don't we go back to reading, writing, math, science, and computers? | |
I'm just as thought. | |
And teaching history that that wh while while not perfect, we're the greatest nation ever. | |
Uh teach that as well. | |
You can't say that in school. | |
I mean, that's not going to be acceptable in the average public school today. | |
And I know you're a strong advocate for this. | |
What we have to be, and I said this a few months ago, and I believe don't do not vote for anyone who's not for school choice. | |
Don't vote for anyone who's not for giving moms and dads the ability to send their kid to the school that they think is going to be best for their child. | |
That should be every Republican should be for that. | |
But most Democrats are gonna are going to be against that. | |
But either if you got a Republican's not for it, don't vote for them until they are. | |
That is how fundamental this is. | |
We have to be the party that says we respect parents' decisions about the well-being of their children. | |
We're gonna honor those, and we're gonna give them the ability to send their kids to the place where they know their kids are going to get the kind of education that they're supposed to get in America. | |
How about every American vote for people that believe in secure borders, energy independence, lower taxes, less bureaucracy, uh, school choice and law and order and safety and security for every American. | |
Let's start there. | |
That that should be something everybody agrees on. | |
Son, you're so right. | |
We we the Republican Party is the party of common sense. | |
The Democrat Party has is quickly becoming the party of the super know it all kind of folks who live on you live in DC and LA, and people who don't work. | |
We're the party of people who work and who have common sense, and that that's what I think is going to show up and happen this November. | |
I hope so. | |
We're at a we are as a country uh at an inflection point. | |
It's not a cliche to say this is a tipping point election, and so is 2024. | |
