This isn't iHeart Podcast.
Does reduce inflation?
Forty percent of inflation is fueled by fossil fuels.
No new taxes on families families making more than excuse me.
No new taxes on families making less than 400,000 dollars or under the inflation data in July was zero point zero.
Zero point zero.
So we are seeing uh inflation decrease.
People have every single day.
Inflation is like a theoretical word that economists use.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Don't play out gentles and saying you consciously the 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 369.
All right, day 369, abandoned Americans.
They turn the page and never talk about him again.
By the way, Governor Ron DeSantis said in uh Broward County that 20 people across the state have been arrested and charged with election fraud.
He said people illegally voted in Broward, Miami Dade, other parts of the state, and added that investigations are ongoing and may lead to more arrests.
The Attorney General Ashley Moody was on the show the other day and the new Secretary of State were in attendance at the announcement.
Um just like uh, oh, that's right, the court, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin said that you know those drop boxes were illegal.
Oopsie Daisy.
We didn't win any cases.
Uh I can't believe the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just ignored their own state constitution.
And because the state constitution enumerates very specific instances, and there are not many where people can vote by mail.
They just ignored it, and they passed the legislature bypassing what's called a constitutional amendment process.
But why let things like that get in the way?
Um anyway, so we've been telling you about this this issue of this magistrate down in Florida and the decision that the in fact um of the judge, now this judge Reinhardt has a history of one recusing himself with issues involving Donald Trump, uh, because on social media he's there trashing Donald Trump.
Why didn't he recuse himself in this case?
We don't have a good answer for you, because there is no good answer.
He also donated to Obama.
He's not a judge that was approved by the Senate.
Seems that Merrick Garland went a little judge shopping uh as it relates to this.
And anyway, so he said that in fact portions of this can in fact be given out.
The Florida Magistrate Bruce Reinhardt has ordered Biden Department of Justice to redact portions of the Mar-a-Lago affidavit that it believes would compromise their investigation and then release the unredacted version.
Well, why do they get full full control of that process?
Not sure why they the Trump people don't get a say in it at all.
Anyway, the ruling would seem to um give lie to the Biden DOJ's claim that releasing any information from the affidavit would compromise their investigation, but my prediction is they're not gonna redact they're gonna redact pretty much the entire document.
And then they'll be back in court again.
Ruling from the bench, the Judge Reinhardt goes that uh portions of the affidavit could presumptively be unsealed, whether those portions would be meaningful for the public or the media, he added was not for him to decide.
Sounds like he doesn't want any part of it.
So we'll see what happened.
Um anyway, and then we have the issue that I've been talking about that nobody else in the media seems to be paying attention to, and that is the issue involving Senator Grassley accusing the FBI's Washington field office of using dubious evidence to open anti-Trump investigations.
I read you that letter earlier in the program.
Uh, and the Biden's uh DOJ's super secret Mar-a-Lago investigation, they're leaking like a sieve in spite of Merrick Garland saying we'll do all our talking in court and in our filings.
That turned out not to be true.
Uh de uh the declassification memorandum quote of materials related to FBI's cross-fire hurricane investigation.
And I mentioned the Rasmussen poll.
Americans are pretty angry about all of this.
Fifty-three percent of likely voters say that the FBI and the rate of Dar uh Mar-a-Lago is uh increased the percentage of people believing President Joe Biden is using the G men.
I would not use this word myself as his personal Gestapo.
53%.
That's a lot of people.
It's a very high percentage.
Now, I have pointed out that the FBI, especially the upper echelon, have earned the distrust over the years because they have a dual justice system.
You know, they've had Hunter Biden's laptop for two years.
We know that there is evidence of crimes on that laptop.
We know that it implicates Joe Biden himself, and nobody wanted any they they they've had this thing for over two years now.
John Paul Mack Isaac, the Mac repair man, said they've had it forever.
He called them first because he saw evidence of potential crimes on it.
They haven't done a thing except threaten him not to talk about it.
Why not?
Why did Hillary Clinton have top secret classified information on her servers that she wiped clean with bleach bit and the devices that she destroyed, and she wasn't held accountable.
James Comey admitted she committed crimes.
Why wasn't there a raid of her house?
Maybe there were backup servers at her house.
We wouldn't know because they never went there.
You know, why do they show up at Manafort's house at 5 30 in the morning?
Or Roger Stone's house, you know, 30 agents, tactical gear, frogman in the case of Roger Stone, and fake news CNN cameras in the case of Roger Stone.
No raids of any prominent Democrats.
Peter Navarro was at an airport for a misdemeanor.
He gets arrested, leg shackled, and handcuffed and strip searched over a misdemeanor.
I mean, what the hell is going on here?
Anyway, Greg Jarrett, uh Fox News contributor, number one best uh number one New York Times best selling author, host of his own podcast, The Brief, and David Schoen, former counsel for President Trump.
He's now representing, by the way, uh Steve Bannon in his case as it relates to the January 6th committee.
Welcome both of you to the uh program.
Thank you very much.
Good to be here.
So if the DOJ gets to decide what they're gonna redact, uh it sounds to me like we're not gonna get anything of substance out of this affidavit, Greg Jarrett.
Oh, I think you're a hundred percent correct.
What's gonna happen is a week from now, Merrick Garland will submit his suggested uh redactions.
And there will be black lines through every sentence in the affidavits, uh, except for the title, which says affidavit in support of uh uh warrant to search and seize.
So uh, you know, Merrick Garland wants to hide the affidavits while his own department, as you point out, Sean, is leaking information that damages Trump, including the leaking of grand jury information.
I don't buy for one moment Garland's excuses for keeping the avid sealed.
Uh oh, gee, it'll compromise our investigation.
First of all, that's what they always say when they want to conceal bad behavior.
And second, too bad if it compromises your probe.
Deal with it.
You cannot allow the DOJ to leak details in the affidavit that advances their anti-Trump narrative while hiding the full truth contained in the affidavit.
Uh, but you know, regardless of what this judge decides, this magistrate, uh, and he may, you know, there's part of me that feels like he he now thinks he was snookered.
Um, Merrick Arling will appeal whatever decision uh the judge makes.
What's your take?
Uh David Shoan.
Sean, you've raised so many issues here, and Greg is hit right on the mark, but uh it it's a very dangerous, scary situation.
I don't see any of this say any of this lightly.
You know, my father was an FBI agent, had great respect for them.
But uh, it's not just Merrick.
We can't lose sight of the fact that the number two in charge is Lisa Monaco.
That's an Andrew Weisman colleague from way back, shares the same Philosophy as him, the same approach, the same regard for ethics as Andrew Weissman.
There's uh a very dangerous situation going on.
And by the way, you you could see it coming.
They play the card, the violence card with this affidavit.
They can't unseal it because it could lead to violence.
Gee, look at this incident and that incident, ignoring all of the violence on the left that's occurred over the years, but this is the kind of thing they know is going to play to a judge, you know, on a gut level.
No, that there's no indication of that.
This is a different situation from any other situation.
The public has a right to know what's going on here.
What investigation are they compromising that could be more important than regaining some semblance of trust in our government?
They're just continuing to tear away the Constitution and any trust that the public possibly could have in our Justice Department.
This cannot be uh go on like this.
Why would the FBI uh not allow Trump's lawyers to escort them into the varying rooms in Mar-a-Lago?
Why were they kept out?
And more importantly, why would the FBI say that they don't want surveillance cameras on and demanded that they be turned off?
It turns out they did not turn them off.
Um one of the reasons I think that we have fought for body cams and dash cams all these years is it keeps everybody honest.
Greg Jarrett, um, I would think it's in their best interest to have that video out.
Yes, because the FBI uh was going to basically turn the place upside down, go well beyond the constitutional limits of a search uh warrant.
And they didn't want anybody to see it.
That's why they uh they kept the uh Trump lawyers out in the sweltering heat for ten hours and not in even inside the building.
That's why they demanded that the cameras uh be turned off.
Uh, you know, it it's quite possible, and in fact, I think it's likely uh that the FBI and the DOJ didn't tell the magistrate the full tr truth.
They misrepresented critical facts.
And and I think that's why they're trying to hide the affidavits.
We've seen it time and again.
It happened, Sean, as you know, during the Russia hoax, uh the Justice Department's uh inspector general found a disgraceful pattern of lies, deceptions, omissions, concealment, manipulation of evidence by the FBI in gaining their search warrants by Hooker by Krock.
Uh, they even fraudulently doctored records to get what they wanted in the uh from the FISA court.
I mean, this is law enforcement, run em up.
They've gone rogue, they're abusing their immense power for persecution and prosecution of political adversaries, and they employ these intimidation tactics.
They misuse the legal system.
This is dangerous weaponization of authority.
It's a frontal attack on our cherished principles of fairness and equal justice and due process.
This August 17th letter, David shown to the FBI director, Christopher Ray from Senator Grassley demands an accounting for p of political bias influencing the highest levels of investigations, particularly out of the FBI's Washington, D.C. office, which interestingly, they didn't use the Miami field office.
They used the D.C. one.
I've been writing letters to you regarding political bias that has infected the FBI's Washington field office.
He wrote, this is Senator Grassley.
Two of those letters provided specific credible allegations based on numerous whistleblowers that have approached my office with information that one can only conclude is indicative of a deeply rooted political infection that has spread to investigative activity into former President Trump and Hunter Biden.
Why wouldn't Christopher Ray want to clean up the FBI?
Why didn't he hold any of the people involved in crossfire operation crossfire hurricane accountable?
Yeah.
He's got an obligation to.
Listen, we've lost any semblance of checks and balances right now in our government.
I mean, the m if the best we have is a letter from Senator Grassley, with nothing behind it and so on.
There has to be some incentive.
The American people have to speak.
There has to be some incentive to come clean on these things.
Transparency has got to be the key.
It's the only way to restore any confidence.
We're seeing, you know, it's cliche again, the political weaponization of the Justice Department, but political partisanship and everything.
And quite frankly, I track it back to Jerry Nadler saying, folks, we can't trust the American voters.
That set the stage for all of these things.
Anything goes to stop Trump from getting back into office.
I'll tell you, these are de definitely dangerous times we're living in.
Uh Greg Jarrett, thank you.
David Schoen, thank you.
800 941 Shauna's on number.
Uh, our friends at Henry Repeating Arms now, they're celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, and in honor of this anniversary, they're giving away a million bucks through their guns for great causes charitable arm.
And that means, you know, recipients like the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, building homes for heroes, children's hospitals, various organizations supporting sick kids, vets, law enforcement, first responders.
Anyway, and Anthony, the owner always offers through Henry Repeating Arms his personal 100% satisfaction guarantee, and they've got a broad range of firearms, rim fire, center fire calibers, over 200 models to choose from.
I love their variety of finishes and configurations.

*music*
Exposing the Pelosi Party's chaos and corruption all day, every day.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
There's some really devastating news, Linda.
I have to break it to the audience.
Okay.
Not happy about it.
Sad.
Okay.
Humpty Dumpty.
Is out at fake news CNN.
He had a great roster.
This is not good.
Is it because the king already left?
Well, I said I've always got to be.
With all of his horses, you know.
I don't know, but I mean, I guess, you know, uh this what did I always say about this, whatever that Oliver guy is, Oliver, somebody.
Uh, he's always wanted to be Humpty Dumpty.
I guess now this is gonna be his chance.
It is.
It's time.
You know?
He's waited long enough.
He's waited long enough.
You're talking about Humpty Dumpty.
King's horses and all the king's.
Well, I don't know.
Why why what is wrong with me?
I should I should be happy because he's been such a jackass to us.
Um I mean, I just I'm not sad.
I I can I say it like that, I'm not sad.
You know.
I mean, but he's like everybody else's fake news CNN.
They say they want to be now a real news network.
I'm like, the problem is is everybody there is a talk show host like me.
We're all members of the press, and the only difference between me and them is I'm honest about who I am, and they lie about who they are.
They say that they're journalists, they're not journalists.
I agree with you.
I think that is the biggest problem.
They there's they're on the high and mighty, and uh they just have never been able to come down from that.
I think it would be much better suited if they just said, This is what I think.
It's not fact or fiction, it's just my opinion.
Yada yada.
Here you go.
Of course.
And then they have opinion programming, and it's you know, I tell everybody, I tell people who I like, who I dislike, but we also do straight news.
I can produce thousands of hours of it.
We do investigative reporting like Obama's Radical Associations and the Deep State, and you know, Trump's.
But you also start the sentence with that.
You also start.
This is my opinion, this is what I believe, this is what I think.
Well, but I actually delineate between when I'm doing straight news or investigative reporting, and I delineate when I give my opinion.
It's obvious the audience is smart.
Or if I talk about sports and culture, I always say I'm like a real newspaper.
You're dying to play that Humpty Dumpty thing.
I maybe it will let you play the.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little obsessed with it.
It's very true.
Um you really you really are.
You're taking delight in this.
There's something wrong with me.
I am I'm I'm I'm I just don't like people getting fired.
You know the problem is with him, he just wasn't very nice to us, and he doesn't have the nicest of friends who also weren't nice to us.
So, you know, it's all true.
But unfortunately, sometimes the nice guys went to the house.
How's he gonna promote the Twitter account for his children?
Which I thought was a little crazy, but whatever.
The End Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day.
Hannity is on.
I'm 25 to the top of the hour.
Big breaking news day all over the place.
As we have been telling you, the former CFO of uh the Trump organization has made a deal, and we'll spend five months in jail.
This does not include him testifying against Donald Trump or the Trump organization, et cetera, et cetera.
Uh, as the mob, the media would have you believe.
Then of course, the affidavit involving uh the justification to raid Mar-a-Lago.
I don't know if the bigger news of the day is poor Humpty Dumpty got can't over at fake news CNN.
I guess what's his next stop?
Media Matters, Acorn.
I mean, I mean, uh Antifa.
I mean, where's he headed?
Um anyway, James Carvel.
Now, this is pretty amazing comment.
Remember, it was the Clinton people that said it's the economy stupid.
And right now we have record high gas prices, but it's coming down, Hannity.
You need to report the facts.
Yeah, it's coming down, but it's still over $2 a gallon from what they inherited.
Uh until you get to the same level you inherited.
I really don't want to hear it.
Because it's killing the American consumer, and it's killing truckers, and it raises the cost of every item we buy at every store that we go to.
And in spite of all that, you know, here are the Clinton people.
Here's James Carville, you know, blasting Republicans.
Now pay close attention to the word evil in these comments.
And let me say when they say, James, we have our crazes, but look, you have your crazies, you know, and it it's you know what pronoun you have of veganism or something.
The problem is people who believe in that are just silly.
All right.
People that believe that the election was stolen and have a right to storm the capital, which is a substantial number of people in the Republican Party, are evil.
There's we have our our people are kind of silly.
They have people who actually evil racism is evil, right?
Misogyny is evil.
I'm sorry.
Uh a pronoun is to me is okay, fine.
I mean, it's just kind of like, you know what, if you want to be a vegan, I don't care.
What you want to eat.
All right, but but that's not it's not the same thing.
All right.
It's just not.
And yet the the media it is addicted to both sides of them.
Well, you have your crazes, and they have their crazies.
What the hell's the difference?
A lot.
You know, you notice the broad sweeping generalizations, but notice the old playbook comes out.
And you gotta remember that Democrats, they don't just disagree, they really believe that the planet is gonna implode in ten years.
Al Gore's been predicting it would be over in ten years, twenty years ago.
But the that this is this this belief system that all Republicans, all conservatives are racist and sexist and misogynist and homophobic and xenophobic and Islamophobic, now transphobic, and want dirty air and water and granny and grandpa to die.
It it just it never ends.
It's all this guy has done his entire life in politics is go race to the same exact playbook.
And sometimes, sadly, it works.
And uh they're crazies are crazies.
And the people it look first of all, you're talking about a very tiny percentage of people that were involved in January 6th.
I mean, are we gonna say all the people that rioted in the summer of 2020 that uh they had slanted left?
I mean, it's obvious why Democrats didn't want to talk about the 574 riots that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops.
We saw the rocks, bricks, bottles, Molotov, cocktails, the billions in property damage, police precincts burn to the ground, city blocks taken over.
Uh, but we're not gonna ever talk about them.
No, they're not evil.
Only Republicans are evil.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, what a double standard.
Uh, all right, let's get to our busy, busy phones.
Uh Jesse is in Wisconsin.
Hey, Jesse, how are you?
Glad you called Ron Johnson.
We need that seat desperately.
How are you?
I I'm real good, wonderful.
Absolutely.
We need that seat.
And uh I'm gonna do my part.
Uh the question I got for you, Sean, is uh do you think Liz Cheney might try to run as a third party candidate?
I think she's gonna do something like that.
Um she made it very clear that she's checked the box of being a congresswoman and she's moving on to full-time Trump hate and Trump obsession and defeating Donald Trump.
That's that is now her full-time uh profession, I guess.
I mean, I'm sure she'll create some organization and have some ability uh to advance the narrative.
She I mean, I could see MSDNC or fake news CNN in her future, and but it's certainly not going to be as a leader in the House of Representatives ever again.
She's not going to be president.
Uh, she's not a Lincoln, although she compared herself or seemingly compared herself to it.
Um and she's now aligned herself with the very people that referred to her father as a war criminal and a murderer and a crook.
And what happened, I don't know.
You know, she why if if she cared so much about the Constitution, how how come she never that I saw ever spoke out about what the Democrats did in 2016 about the dirty dossier, about Hillary Clinton's emails, uh, about FISA court judges being lied to.
Uh, how come we haven't heard a peep out of her and Hunter about Hunter Biden and his laptop and how it implicates Joe, the president, or the real quid pro quo?
So to her, from my perspective, this is just her.
It is personal, and she is who she is, and I just see it for what it is.
Yeah, I I agree.
You know, she wouldn't, as annoying as the Rhinos are, she wouldn't we need them, you know.
We need them to elect who we need to elect, and she wouldn't have to pull many to vote her way to affect the national election.
Look, I mean, uh she I don't think she expected the the blowback to this extent.
Um I do believe her efforts to get Democrats to switch parties in the primary and vote for her were very real.
And um I think if anything, she's just angrier today than she was, you know, yesterday and and more angry because of what happened on Tuesday.
Um and that means she's gonna come back.
They'll come back from August recess and they'll go right back more January sixth hearings.
January 6th hearings ad nauseum.
Uh they've already interviewed what how many thousands of people?
Where is the investigation into Kamala Harris tweeting out a bail fund for writers?
You know, after the Minneapolis police precinct was burned to the ground.
Well well, what about um uh the insurrectionist talk of Kamala Harris?
Take note.
You beware.
They're not gonna stop.
And they shouldn't stop.
And we're not gonna stop.
Um why no criticism there?
Why will most Democrats either just saying nothing to stay out of it so they wouldn't alienate their their hardcore base, or they just lied to us and said everything we were seeing with our own eyes is mostly peaceful when it was anything but mostly peaceful.
And then, of course, those that took it a step further, like Kamala Harris and and openly advocated, supported what was going on that summer.
So I don't I I don't see those hearings occurring anytime soon.
Anyway, we appreciate it, Jesse.
Uh Perry is in the state of New York.
I have no idea why we're here, but anyway, Perry makes us pretty stupid to pay all these taxes, but here we are.
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, uh, it doesn't make us too bright, does it?
But uh we got to get past that.
Um I just it upsets me as to why the Republicans they just don't support each other.
Where are they out supporting Herschel Walker, Dr. Rodz, uh Trump with what happened at Mar-a-Lago?
Where are they?
Why aren't they standing together?
Well, you know, look, there's there's an element of the Republican Party that doesn't like Donald Trump.
We know about them, the never Trumpers, if you will.
And they exist at national review.
Um, they they're the Bill Crystals of the world.
They're the you know, Lincoln Project people of the world.
They're all entitled to their opinion.
And I just, you know, people that once considered themselves conservative, it's clear to me that as successful as Donald Trump was as president, and maybe you don't like his demeanor, maybe you don't like his style.
I can understand that.
He's he's tough, he's a fighter.
But when he's battling against China and President Xi and Him Jong Un and Iranium Mullers and Vladimir Putin, um, I don't want somebody like Joe Biden dealing with them from a position of weakness.
I want somebody that they genuinely fear, have a a healthy respect for.
And every foreign hostile regime feared Donald Trump.
And then I like what he did with our borders.
I like what he did with the economy.
I like him getting rid of regulations.
I like the lower taxes, and I liked energy independence, just to name a few.
And I like the fact that he put constitutionalists for the most part.
Some didn't turn out as good as we thought, but but he tried to put constitutionalists on the bench.
So I think he was in that sense, and in every other sense, a great president.
And he did it all with this cloud hovering over him.
Uh the never-ending attacks, lies, conspiracy theories, and hoaxes.
I mean, if I'm Donald Trump by I'd be feeling persecuted too because he was persecuted.
I mean, they went at him with everything that they had, and he won every time.
And now they continue to try post-presidency because they're a f if they think you know, on the one hand, they're saying, oh, we want Donald Trump to run.
Because if Donald Trump runs, our chances are better to win.
Well, if that's the case, why are they doing everything in their power to prevent him from running?
And so look who do you want uh what Republican do you want?
And here's something else I'll tell Republicans out there.
I don't care.
Take Donald Trump out of the equation for a second.
Whoever is a Republican re presidential candidate, they are going to smear slander besmirch, and you're gonna see character assassination like you've never seen in your life.
That goes with the territory.
They don't care who it is, they will attack you.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
All right, we'll take a quick break.

Uh, let's say hi to Chuck.
He's in Mississippi today.
What's up, Chuck?
How are you, sir?
Sean Sean, my brother, my patriot brother from another mother.
What's going on, my patriot brother from another mother?
How are you?
Hey, before I get to my point, I want to chastise you.
I don't want you to uh to keep um making fun of Linda's northern accent.
I love it.
So Linda, say first of all.
First of all, now first of all, now now listen now.
Listen to Linda say talk radio.
Say talk radio.
This is embarrassing.
You know that, right?
No, it's not.
I mean, it's a little embarrassing.
It's talk radio.
First of all.
Say it again.
First of all, then say talk radio again.
Talk radio.
Talk radio.
And what did you drink for coffee when you got up this morning?
I I had coffee and uh I actually got a new uh coffee machine last week.
It's very nice.
She has a new coffee machine before she talks on the radio.
It's amazing.
That's right.
Forget about it.
Forget about it now.
Look, I I know you work out every day.
I'm 72 years old.
I don't want to have to come up there and spank you.
She'd leave her alone.
Oh, you're a man after my own heart.
Thanks, Brad.
You could try my sensei's gotten me lifting lately.
And uh I f I I finally got a hundred-pound uh dumbbells, and when I started, I couldn't lie.
I was like at 50 pounds, and then 60, then 70.
I try to stay at a lower weight only because it just puts too much pain in my shoulders at my age.
But I'm I'm doing 80-pound dumbbells, you know, 15 reps each.
There you go.
Lower weight, more reps.
Look here to more reps.
Um, if we take the house next follow, which I hope we sincerely do.
Um the house controls the purse strings, I've always heard.
So why why can't they uh just eliminate the funding for these 70, 87,000 IRS agents?
Um is that is that right?
Could they withhold funding and say, no, we're not not gonna do that?
There's not a single penny that can be spent without the approval of Congress.
They have power over the purse strings.
In this reconciliation package, they funded the hiring of 87,000 new agents.
I mean, it's more than three, four separate departments of in terms of personnel numbers combined.
And look, I'm I'm I'm just telling you what's gonna happen.
I I've I've been through this.
My file gets pulled every year, and I pay every single cent.
And then some.
I will tell you that my lawyers and my two accounting firms, I have two accounting firms that go over my taxes independently, and then the lawyers make the final decision.
And and we that's how seriously I take it.
And I'll get a number of calls throughout the process.
This is a legal deduction.
Um, but this it might be something they'll come back and question.
What do you want to do?
And I usually say pay it.
Just to get just to keep them on my ass.
It's such a pain in the ass.
You know what a pain in the ass is?
Because you're gonna pay it one way or the other.
I'm either gonna pay my lawyers and accountants or I'm gonna pay them.
I'm stuck.
It's literally oppressive towards people that are conservative.
And let me tell you what's gonna happen here.
You know, Syracuse University pointed out something that I had never known.
That the that you make 25 grand or less, you're five times more likely to get audited.
And I mean and I asked somebody, I said, Well, why is that?
Because they think that you're making more and they're gonna check your lifestyle, and if you're living above somebody's means of 25,000 a year, they're gonna find out how you're making your other money that you're not paying taxes on.
So that I mean, rich people have wealthy people have moderately wealthy people have access to lawyers and accountants, and they'll never talk to an IRS agent.
That'll be the job of their accountants and the lawyers, and they'll talk to them.
But the average I'm telling you, nobody you can't afford a lawyer and an accountant.
It's so expensive.
Anyway, 800, 941 Sean is our number.
Um, but anyway, the question is do we have to fund the new IRS agents if we take the House and Senate?
Well, we'd have to win the presidency too.
So I hope that answers your question.
Anyway, uh we got Dr. Robbs coming up at the top of the hour.
Uh there's a big fight brewing in Pennsylvania over a number of issues.
