This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Hour Two, Sean Hannity Show on a Friday, 800-941 Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Many articles out today.
I've got six of them in front of me here.
One was in the New York Post, Michael Gonzalez in a column that he wrote, he's a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, saying adios Democrats, Latinos fleeing woksters for the GOP.
And it goes on to explain the recent Bruha, Joe Biden's comments comparing Hispanic Americans to tacos, um, and the purchase of conservative Spanish language radio stations, uh, apparently all over the country,
uh, with George Soros money and and this idea that um somehow the the monopoly of of Hispanic American votes will go to uh the Democratic Party.
It's there's one example after another that's not happening.
Fox News.com media takes notice as Hispanics ditched Democratic Party with a once-in-a-generation political realignment.
Republicans have gained ground in every demographic besides college-educated women.
Uh we have another piece, uh, more shining examples of how Democrats and the media treat minorities who are conservative.
Uh Democratic congressman uh by the name of Ruben uh Galego accused the Arizona Republican congressional candidate of quote being Latina when it suits her.
Wow.
Who would ever who would ever say stuff like this?
What is wrong with this woke Democratic Party?
Um, but that's what you know, he's out there saying, accusing an Arizona Republican congressional candidate, oh, you're Latina only when it suits you.
What the hell is that?
Unbelievable.
You know, if you if you look, you know, what was one of the great successes prior to the pandemic of Donald Trump's economic policies?
That demographic groups that had previously been left behind by democratic policies.
You know, if you look at African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, African American youth unemployment, record low numbers that nobody had ever seen before.
A truly equal opportunity society for everybody, a shining city on a hill.
New York Post, Democrats are in denial about why they are losing Hispanic uh voters.
And I can keep going on.
The Hill is slam for tweeting that the GOP hopes to quote steal Hispanic votes from Democrats following uh Jill Biden's uh ill-advised breakfast taco remark.
Uh, in case you don't remember, let's play it.
Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogadas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.
What is a bogada?
Obviously, she meant bodega, but what's I mean, look just like the breakfast tacos here?
Senator Marco Rubio just tweeted out a picture of a taco.
That's all he said.
It's all he tweeted out, and it said everything.
Uh recently elected Congresswoman uh Myra Flores joins us today to talk about all of this.
She has made comments on this and responded to this herself.
Uh, by the way, if you might recall, uh, it was Congresswoman Flores that won this seat in Texas uh recently that had been held by Democrats for over 150 years.
Uh she uh joins us now.
Uh Congresswoman number one, congratulations.
How's your time getting acclimated to the swamp going?
Thank you so much for having me.
And I'm doing great here in Washington, but I'm missing my family.
I I definitely want to be back in South Texas in my home.
Well, I want you to be home, too, but for selfish reasons, I'm glad you are where you are because of the fight for the values that we share.
What has been the response to you joining the Republican caucus?
Well, you know, the Republican Party has been very supportive here and also very supportive in South Texas, but the Democrat Party hasn't been very supportive.
They now want to send me back to Mexico.
They want to send me back to Mexico because this immigrant is not obedient to them.
and it's not standing for their uh narrative and Joe Biden and the Liberal left are completely out of touch with with our community and they don't see us as Americans they see us as vote they don't care about the Hispanic community but the Hispanic community has had enough and they think that by giving us tacos and plain Latin music that's all it's gonna take for us to vote for them it's not they're gonna have to get to work.
You know what's fascinating over the years I've interviewed conservative African Americans that uh have attempted to join the the Congressional black caucus and they're denied admission because they're conservative and they don't share exactly the the the party line of Democrats.
Now if it's the Congressional black caucus why are you eliminating uh uh black Americans that happen to also be conservative that seems discriminatory to me it really is and we're gonna try as well and and let's see if they they allow us to to join them but I but I doubt it and I think it's important for them to to allow us because conservative Hispanics deserve to have a voice and I actually represent the Hispanic community.
I stand for God, family, country and hard work and that is who we are as a Hispanic community.
It's instilled in us.
We're conservative by nature and I believe it's so important that Hispanics have the right voice the real voice in the Hispanic caucus in here in Washington.
You know, it's amazing because you're saying all of this.
It really comes down to a person's heart, right?
It comes down to the content of their character, what's in their mind, heart and soul.
As a Christian, I believe we're all we're all created by the same God.
And it's God gives us natural rights and talents and abilities.
That would be every human being born.
And and government usually tends to limit that rights.
But one of the things that really separates us from so many other authoritative regimes is.
is that we believe rights do come from God that we're all endowed by our creator isn't it absolutely I would not be here if it wasn't because of God.
I live in prayer I walk in prayer and it is because of him that we were able to flip Texas District 34 that had never been flipped in over 100 years.
It was God it was our hard work and and dedication that gave us the victory and I will continue to always put God and family and my community first and I believe that if I do that and if I continue to stay focused on the issues that matter to my district that we're gonna be successful in November because nothing that I'm doing should be political.
Border security shouldn't be political protecting the unborn shouldn't be political bringing down the cost of food rent none of that should be political that is that's something that we should I can add gasoline to that we're paying record high prices comments.
Honestly it doesn't surprise me but I just felt that it was it's so disrespectful because once again they think that that's all it takes for them to obtain our vote.
Hillary Clinton you know brought up the the spicy I I don't forget that she carries a you know a spicy hot sauce with her come on nonsense and now they're c they're comparing us to tackles we're not a variety of tackles.
You know I love tacos so I let me tell you I personally thought I was like has she been following my Instagram she knows I love tackles and I do love tacos but it's gonna it's not it's gonna take a lot more than that to obtain my vote.
I'll be honest I only like my own I make them myself.
I make all my food myself, but I'm I'm I'm pretty much a paleo eater, so I forget the taco part and just cook uh uh grilled the some onions and avocado oil and put some chopped meat and put it on a plate.
That's how I eat it.
That's my version of a taco.
Um let me ask you this uh because you're you just had your district change shifted gerrymandered uh is that in any way gonna impact your ability to win re-election in November.
Absolutely not.
The district does not change the values of who we are.
In South Texas, Cameron County remains to be in the district.
Cameron County pretty much has the biggest population.
We were able to flip it for the first time in history, Cameron County in the special election.
Also, Hidalgo, we lost Hidalgo by less than 200 votes.
We're very confident that through our hard work and dedication, now with the incumbent, we're going to be able to raise the funds that we need to get the message across our district.
So we're very confident, but we take no one for granted.
We understand that it's going to take a lot of hard work and hard work is in our DNA.
so we're ready to go.
Alright quick break we'll come back more with newly elected Republican Congressman Myra Flores from Texas 800 941 Sean our number we'll get to your calls bottom of the half hour on this Friday.
Alright My Pillow is having their biggest bed sheet sale ever.
MyPillow.com Sean Hannity Square.
Alright more with newly elected Texas Congresswoman uh Myra Flores is with us.
The one thing that I took out of these articles today that I totally agree with that there is a chance for once in a generation political realignment.
I I look at the Democratic Party today as the party of the elite in this country.
I I look at my conservative values um I represent the values of of working men and women in this country the the people that really do make this country great that's my background that's my experience but my grandparents came here legally poor my parents both grew up very poor.
They worked hard their entire lives they worked themselves literally to death and all all to all to make it so that people like myself, my sisters can stand on their shoulders and have a better life.
I think they took great satisfaction knowing that we all were able to do good things in our life before they passed away many, many years ago.
But um these are the values that I think all good Americans share and I'm I I see that there is an opportunity for a new American majority and that would be a Republican party that is going to stand for law and order, safety and security so every American can pursue happiness one that will control our borders and support legal immigration.
I don't I don't Congresswoman I don't care where people come from do it legally we need a background check to make sure you don't have radical associations.
We need a health check during the pan during a pandemic and you need to not you need to be able to show that you'll be self-reliant and not be a burden financially on the American people and then my answer is welcome to America it's it's really that simple for me.
And if a the Republican Party stands for these things, lower taxes, incentivizing work, um believes in the values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness um I I think this is an opportunity to have a massive political realignment in the country.
It's a huge opportunity and the Republican Party does stand uh with the everyday American people with the hard working people stands as God and and family and hard work.
That is who we are and I'm so proud uh to be a a Republican but I'm also so proud to be here in Washington representing the people.
I've always told uh Texas District 34, you know, not to be lawyer to no political party that I'm a proud Republican but not to be loyal to a political party to be loyal to God to to their family and to their community and to vote on their values.
Never put your values aside for a political party.
And the party that is standing with those that stands for those values is a Republican Party and we're getting an amazing response amazing support from our district and I believe that it's gonna be the biggest year for the Republican Party coming this November but most importantly it's the American people that is going to win in November.
What did you think of when you saw the videotape of Nancy Pelosi kind of brushing your daughter away in a photo up.
To be honest with you, I was just looking at my daughter and just so proud of her and how she she behaved.
Um but I also realized that they claim to, you know, support immigrants, but they don't want they don't want us near them.
They want to push us aside.
They want to keep us down here.
They don't want us to write.
They don't want us to to speak and have our own voice.
They don't want us to be independent and be successful in this country.
They want to keep us poor so they can continue controlling our vote.
That's what the Democrat Party wants to do with the with immigrants and the Hispanic community here.
But we're done with that.
We can also become Congressmen and Congresswomen.
And I'm not going to allow the Democrat Party to take that away from me.
They keep saying oh she's not the first Congress Congresswoman.
I am the first Congresswoman that was born in Mexico and is a proud American and now represents the US Congress.
That that that's the American dream.
And they want to pretend that it's not happening.
It's already happening.
By the way, Congresswoman, if I hear one more election that Republicans and conservatives are racist and sexist and misogynist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and want dirty air and water and want grandma and grandpa thrown over a cliff after only feeding them dog food and cat food, which is the Democratic playbook every election.
My head spins, you know, literally I'm going to be like the exorcist of my head to turn around 360 degrees.
projectile vomit with that because it's such such a lie.
Um we congratulate you high-up notice and we really look forward to your next victory which will be soon and uh we're so glad you're there and you're always welcome on our airways any time.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
God bless you too.
800 941 Sean our number you want to be a part of the program we'll get to your calls coming up next you're listening to the best of the Sean Hannity show will have more of your favorite guest topics and memorable moments.
That's all coming up we do need a little bit of a break here which is why it's uh fun to bring back on the program Adam Carollo.
By the way New York Times best selling author uh in his own right and uh by the way his latest book Everything reminds me of something um all part of his comedy routine.
We have a lot of issues involving people wanting to silence voices especially you know comedians like Dave Chappelle etcetera which I think is nuts and insane.
Uh Mr Carola Sir how are you?
I'm doing well thanks for having me.
Uh so what do you think of this mess?
Mar a lago rated by the same FBI that lied about Donald Trump and Russia collusion for three years the same FBI that used Hillary Clinton, his opponent's dirty paid for Russian dossier to get Pfizer warrants uh saying that the dossier was quote verified by them it turns out it was unverifiable because none of it was true and now we're supposed to believe the FBI what they say in a warrant I don't believe
them.
Well here's what I was saying on my podcast Sean.
I have no idea what's inside Donald's compound in Mary Lago.
But I will say this I see the same people I saw a year and a half ago telling us that Hunter by blacktop was had all the earmarks of a Russian hoax and was uh you know driven by Putin those exact same people are now back on CNN explaining that this was a legitimate raid and that we had every right to do it and there must be something important.
So pardon me if I don't have one eyebrow raised just a little bit.
I feel like between the FBI and the C D C and Fauci I no longer listen to anything that these people say I assume it's a lie but I just want to verify and vet everything.
And I never would have done that two or three years ago.
If you said the FBI says Fauci says the C D C says I would have went oh well that must be exactly what's happening.
Now I I don't know.
And that's I'll tell you, I'll take it a step further.
I mean, we gave Fauci the benefit of the doubt in the beginning of this.
And we even gave, you know, margin of error because nobody in the beginning really knew anything about what COVID-19 was about.
So it would be normal that people that are smart, they're making their best educated guess, trying to give their best advice.
But over a period of time, they were wrong on everything.
And they weren't even occasionally right.
So if you ask me if I'd ever trust the CDC, the NIH, Fauci, Walensky or.
Biden or any politician ever talking to me about my health in the future the answer is hell no I'm never listening to them ever.
Yeah well the problem with Fauci is remember when he was getting grilled by Rand Paul I think it was Rand Paul and he he was asking about Black Lives Matter rallies and parades and he said he didn't have any opinion on that.
he was compromised at that point during that hearing.
That was almost two years ago where he said, you know, gatherings at churches, gatherings at football stadiums, all bad.
So what about gatherings for BLM rally?
He said, I have no opinion.
At that point, I realized he was compromised.
So we didn't have to listen to him.
And what about all the stuff he said?
Like he didn't know about natural immunity?
You don't know about natural immunity.
What are we listening to you for?
He got stuff wrong and he lied the FBI is just lying at this at this point.
I don't know how many different ways they can go after Trump and I have no idea why they think we're going to go along with it why we should believe them.
It is the group that cried wolf.
Well, it's worse than that.
Look, you don't dig into the weeds of politics as much as I do.
You certainly are a better expert on cultural issues than I am.
But the two worlds do connect in a lot of ways.
And all I know is for three years, we were told by the FBI, their top echelon, their top officials.
Now, I got to step back and tell you that I had a reverence growing up.
my entire adult life on radio and TV for law enforcement.
My whole family comes from law enforcement my mom was a prison guard.
I had so many relatives that were cops on the MYPD there were two members of my family that made it to the FBI.
They were they were deity in my family.
And so I had this reverence and and I still believe 95% are are good people that that put their lives at risk for us.
But when we discovered that they had an insurance policy to ensure that Donald Trump would never win you lost your credibility and you lost your trust especially with all things Donald Trump and and here's the worst part one of those people that signed those false warrants ever got held accountable.
If you lie to a judge I promise you Adam Carolla you will go to jail.
I will go to jail everyone listening to this program would go to jail.
Well look I like to play a little game called stupid or liar whether you're talking about FBI or you're talking about Fauci.
Is Fauci stupid or is he lying it doesn't matter either way he needs to be removed and I feel the same way with the FBI.
You are the same people that said the steel dossier was was real and Hunter Biden's laptop was fake.
So either you're lying or you're horrible at your job.
But either way you need to go.
Well you raise a good point.
Hunter Biden is uh I I don't know if you've ever heard of Kia Island it's in South Carolina they're in they're apparently living in a friend's 20 million dollar mansion this week we know from all the reporting that has come out that there's evidence of multiple crimes on that laptop.
Now I ask you Adam Carroll if we had equal justice under the law and equal application under the law in this country would we not go and raid Hunter Biden's home?
Why why they've had it for two years this laptop Christopher Ray last week acted like he knew nothing about it.
They've had it for two years.
So if we had equal justice wouldn't they treat him the same way they treated um Donald Trump and by the way that that laptop implicates his father the big guy Joe Biden on all of these deals.
Look uh first things first it's diabolical because what they do is they slow boat these investigations and then when they get thrown up for questioning they go I can't comment on an ongoing investigation.
Well what if the investigation never ends You can't comment on it.
You know, really think about how diabolical that is.
We will say this house is under construction and we can't comment on it and we'll never finish the job.
And that's basically what they're doing with Hunter Biden.
It's it's insane.
It's also um it's it's not their fault, though.
I mean, it is their fault, but this is partisan politics and they're defending their own.
Where's the media on Hunter Biden?
Where is big tech?
I mean, I know what they're doing.
They're canceling people and taking stories down and calling it a hoax.
But the people who aren't doing their job as it pertains to the Hunter Biden story is the media.
They're all the earmarks.
I I get it, but listen, what do they hate most?
Like what's the mainstream media hate most?
What's CNN and MSNBC?
They hate nepotism, they hate rich white guys, they hate old rich white guys, they hate China, they hate Russia.
It's all there.
Fruit salad filled with CNN's favorite subject on the other side.
You know, it it's just phenomenal to me as you watch all this unfold, you know, that there are not more people on the left that see the danger in this.
You know, I know you like Bill Maher and I kind of hate each other.
He hates me, and I'm not a big fan of his.
Although it's people like me when he was doing politically incorrect and other conservatives that said that show should not get canceled.
It was conservatives that are in favor of free speech.
I don't want any show canceled.
I don't want any comedian canceled.
Um I think one of the reasons, and he's made this observation himself is that conservatives are are quoting him occasionally now is because the left wing in this country has gone so far overboard.
You know, the the earth is gonna be over in 12 years.
Um we're not gonna produce any any energy domestically, but it's okay to beg Iran and Russia and Venezuela and the Saudis and OPAC, which makes zero sense to anybody that has half a brain.
And then they tell you lecture you to get an electric car, which is 20 grand more than uh than a gas car, uh a gas-powered car, and most Americans can't afford it, especially with the record 41-year high record of inflation and record high gas prices.
Well, look, something happened to the left, but as I as I always tell people, it's called the progressive movement.
It's got progress in movement right in the title.
And people like you and I go, when are you ever gonna pump the brakes?
I mean, I look some of the stuff they used to talk about eight or ten years ago.
I went, yeah, that sounds all right.
Uh it makes sense.
All right, I'm on.
I'm I'm with you on that one.
But they just blew right past it, and they just keep going.
And you wonder, like, what is the end game?
And I don't know that there is an end game, but it's called the progressive movement.
They never pump the brakes.
It's not what they're there to do.
They, you know, the conservatives want to be left alone, enjoy our family, and enjoy our country, you know, pay our taxes, and don't rob any liquor stores, and we're we're fine.
We're we're essentially wanting to be left alone.
Pretty much just don't touch my liquor store no matter what you do.
If you're gonna rob a store, rob Target, rob Walmart, don't rob the liquor store.
Go to the scented candle shop on the corner.
I never go in there.
I'm sure you're there often.
Um how do you describe yourself politically?
I've never asked you.
I don't even know.
I come from liberal, very strong liberal family.
And so I I I got a front row seat.
My mom was, you know, welfare and food stamps, my grandmother was almost sort of a communist for a while, and I got a front row seat to that, you know, in the 70s, and I kind of realized that's not where I wanted to go.
Um I've always been a fan of sort of free market capitalism.
I've also been kind of liberal, uh, so to speak, on consensual crimes, you know, prostitution, drug use, things like that, you know.
If you wanted to if you wanted to pay a lady and bring her back to the apartment, that was your business, that wasn't my business.
I you know, I'd like a I'd like a stout border.
Uh I I I hate big regulation.
I used to be a builder, and I built in Los Angeles, California, so I know what the regulatory system can be and how stifling it can be.
We have the we have a common background.
I worked in the construction a long time.
Yeah, so I got a front row seat to the big, you know, Department of Building and Safety.
So I'm I'm basically conservative economically, fiscally, uh sort of socially, you know, gay marriage, want to smoke pot, you know, as long as you're not hurting anybody, you know, that's fine.
I just I don't like big government.
I want to shrink government down.
And that's about where I'm at.
Now, that then makes me, you know, a hard right guy now in the eyes of society, but I've I've never been that way.
I've never changed any of my views.
It's just the left once so hard left that they lost a lot of people who used to be on their side of the aisle.
I I think I think it's true.
Do you go further in terms of libertarianism and support legalizing all drugs?
I think that would be insane.
You know, look, I live in Los Angeles.
I've seen what happens when we just tell people, do whatever you want.
We're not getting involved.
It is homeless encampment, encampment everywhere.
It's literally tents and visqueen, plastic and plywood, makeshift plywood shelters like strewn about everywhere.
I understand what happens, and we've seen it in San Francisco, you've seen it to in New York to some degree.
Like the government can no longer just step back and say, you know, you're free to do whatever you want without it turning into what Los Angeles has turned into.
Now, if you would have asked me 20 years ago, I probably would have went, yeah, I don't see what's wrong with that.
But I got a front row seat to it here in Los Angeles.
Quick break more with Adam Corolla on the uh other side of his website, Adam Corolla.com, if you want to get his book or find his tour dates.
All right, we continue with Adam Carola, all things Adam at Adam Corolla.com.
I really don't want to run into those people that are high on crack that are that are strung out on meth or strung out on heroin.
Um that would that would literally, you know, rob their beat the crap out of their own grandmother for more money to get their their drugs.
I don't really want to be around those people.
I don't know, maybe I'm prejudiced.
And also uh I'm maybe that's toxic masculinity.
Somebody pointed it out to me on my podcast, which is they said, what about that person?
What about that 23-year-old who's gonna OD and living in the street?
What if that was your son?
What if that was your daughter?
Like, don't we don't we owe it to that person?
Try to get them some help, or are we just gonna go just let them do your own thing?
Exactly.
If we're gonna do something, it should be here as a drug center.
Here's a place where you can take a shower.
Here's a place where you can get maybe soup and bread and have some something in your stomach, and here's a place where you can talk to drug counselors on how you can get off this crap.
That that I mean, if we're gonna do anything, that would be the most responsible thing.
But anyway, congrats on the uh new book.
Um every every uh reading everything reminds me of something.

It's it's this everything reminds me of something.
