Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, so if you look throughout history, the last time anyone was ever charged in terms of being held in contempt of Congress was 1983.
It was a Reagan EPA official.
Her name was Rita Lavelle.
She was acquitted at trial and not sentenced.
If you look under the years, Janet Reno in 1998, she defied a subpoena.
If you look at Lois Lerner in 2015, she was held in contempt, never charged, defied a subpoena and refused to testify.
Then, of course, you have the case of Eric Holder held in contempt, never charged, and failed to turn over documents.
It's, you know, here we are once again with a dual justice system.
Brian Pagliano, I.T. director, Hillary Clinton aid.
You got to ask yourself, what is going on here?
Now, I would argue that Greg Jarrett already put out a piece on this, and it's actually very well written.
You know, how even the judge recognizes Bannon's conviction is likely going to get tossed out here, which is why he took the extraordinary step of issuing a stay of sentence pending appeal.
When Bannon was subpoenaed by the J6 committee, Trump's lawyers sent him a letter saying that the president invoked executive privilege and therefore directed him not to testify.
Trump holds the privilege, not Bannon.
Under law, Bannon cannot waive it.
It's back where we always are.
You know, Hillary Clinton, we know, had top secret classified information on her email servers.
We know she deleted 33,000 emails.
We know that it was her friend, Charles Dolan, that fed this false information to the Russian Igor Danchenko.
We know that she's the one that funneled money through a law firm, Perkins Cooey, that then hired an op research firm, Fusion GPS, that then hired Christopher Steele.
Christopher Steele gets his info.
His source is Igor Danchenko, whose source is Hillary Clinton's friend.
So it's all coming from Hillary Clinton.
And then we find out in the trial of Danchenko, which that trial to me was irrelevant, but for the fact that Durham exposed to so many things about what the FBI did that none of us knew before.
And that is that the FBI, we find out in early October 2016, offers Christopher Steele $1 million if he could corroborate what is in the dirty misinformation Russian dossier that Hillary paid for.
Now, that's before the first FISA application warrant was even filed.
And remember, it was Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe that said without that dossier, there would be no FISA application or FISA warrant granted.
So anyway, they have this month period.
The FBI interviews Christopher Steele.
They offer him a million dollars to corroborate it.
He can't corroborate it.
But instead of moving on to other evidence that they thought might justify the FISA warrant against Carter Page, hands the back door to Donald Trump, then candidate Trump, they would have brought that to the FISA court, but they wouldn't have succeeded.
So they decided to take a document that says verified at the top of it, a FISA application, and use the bulk of information being the unverified, now we know unverifiable, now we know debunked dirty Russian dossier to get the first FISA warrant signed by James Comey himself.
He signed the first three of them, the two subsequent renewals, and there was a third subsequent renewal, but that was signed by Rod Rosenstein.
And then they even in early January of 2017, they finally interviewed Danchenko at the source of the dossier.
He said, no, none of this is true.
It was bar talk.
And what's the FBI's response to that?
They hire him and pay him a lot of money.
Devin Nunes, who was all over this when he was in Congress, now he is the CEO of Truth Social.
That's the Trump Media and Technology Group.
You are all over this case.
Now, you know, you see what we see over and over again.
One system of justice for the Bidens, one for Hillary Clinton, one for Democrats, one for deep state actors like Comey and McCabe, Strzok and Page and the rest of them, and then one for the rest of us, one for Steve Bannon.
Nobody has ever spent time in jail for this contempt of Congress, and it looks like he's the only one that gets a jail sentence.
Well, Sean, thanks for having me.
With this Bannon sentencing today, I was actually glad to see that the judge is maybe not going to let this go forward.
But if anyone should be spending time in jail, it would be all of the people for the description you just gave.
They were all in a criminal conspiracy to, number one, from my perspective, they easily, clearly lied and misled Congress.
All of these guys did.
You remember that whole the only thing you missed in all of that, Sean, you know, you gave a nice little around the world of Russia Gate 101, is that they all knew about it.
They all had to have known about it.
They were all in on it.
I mean, it was just a big circular reporting scheme.
And I would say the one thing you missed, the other people that were all in on it were 95% of the fake news in this country were all in on it.
And they were receiving the dossier back in 2016.
You know, was Sean Hannity and Fox News receiving the dossier?
No.
Were Republicans in Congress receiving the dossier?
No.
We don't learn about this nonsense until January.
And then it takes us roughly a year before we completely outed all of this.
And then if you recall, back in 2018, Sean, I was accused of that I was going to get people killed.
These sources were going to get killed.
These were ongoing investigations.
And the only thing they were worried about was that we were going to expose, and I think we did, that the whole Mueller team was an entire hoax also.
So anyway.
Now that it's public, can I ask you, when did you know about the million-dollar offer to Christopher Steele in early October of 2016 by the FBI?
Last week, Sean, during the trial.
Wow.
And this is my point.
They were under subpoena.
So you talk about Bannon being under subpoena.
How about all the people at the DOJ, FBI, Fusion GPS?
All of these people were under subpoena.
And you don't tell us that you were paying, you offered Steele a million dollars.
And then, by the way, So six years later, we find out what the FBI did in the lead up to the 2016 election, which means, by the way, now we know that they knew definitively that the FISA application was full of unverified materials, although they signed their name to something that said that was verified.
What if Steve Bannon did that?
What if Trump did that?
What if Hannity did that?
Yeah, and Sean, they covered it up.
I mean, that's what they did by not telling us that they offered Steele a million dollars.
Okay, that's essentially a bounty on Trump's head to offer him a million dollars.
The fact that they don't tell us that they brought this guy on that they knew had lied and they paid him $200,000, there's only one reason that they did this.
This is not all that complicated.
They did it because they knew it was the one little gray area how they could hide it from our investigation in Congress.
They knew that all they had to do is go to me and go to others like Chuck Rassley and say, oh, you're not possibly asking us to disclose confidential human sources, are you?
You're not trying to involve yourself and possibly obstruct our investigation.
You know, that was the con.
You have to remember, back in those days, back in 2018, those crooks were constantly threatening me and my Republican colleagues with obstruction of justice.
I mean, these are serious charges and schemes that the Get Trump Gestapo at the FBI and the DOJ was involved in.
These are really unprecedented and unbelievable times we live in.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Devin Nunes, CEO, Truth Social, and we'll get to your calls as well, 800-941-Sean, our number on this Friday if you want to join us.
All right, born on America's darkest day, 9-11, 2001, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping American heroes ever since.
When a first responder or military service member doesn't come home, young children left behind, Tunnel to Towers steps up, they pay off the mortgage on the family home to lift that financial burden and to try to bring these families stability.
And for catastrophically injured veterans, first responders, Tunnel to Towers, they build mortgage-free smartphones, giving our most severely injured heroes the ability to live more independent lives.
Now, through their Veterans Homelessness Program, Tunnel to Towers is now providing housing and services to homeless vets all across the country as well, more than 500 in 2022 alone.
And because all veterans who honorably served our country, many with PTSD, whether in peacetime, wartime, they deserve our gratitude.
People who put their lives on the line for our country, our communities, they are in deep need of our help now more than ever.
Anyway, you can help join this effort and help America's heroes and their families.
All of us here at the Hannity Show have joined up.
We're a part of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, part of their mission to do good in their honor.
And they're only asking for $11 a month that everybody commit.
Everybody does it.
We can help every vet, every first responder that needs help out.
Their website is the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
We continue with Devin Nunes.
He is the CEO of Truth Social, the Trump Media Technology Group.
The 2016 election, Americans were fed, and remember, Hillary did leak a lot of this information.
It was out there, the phony story about prostitutes in the Ritz in Moscow urinating on Trump's bed.
I mean, that's how obscene and absurd this whole thing got.
None of it was true.
That all made it into the political bloodstream prior to the election in 2016.
And then in 2020, three weeks to the day before the election, we find out about Hunter Biden's laptop.
And we have 51 former intelligence, high-ranking intelligence officials, you know, unanimously saying, no, no, no, this is, it has all the fingerprints of Russian disinformation, and they knew nothing about it.
It all turned out to be true.
And we've now read polls that people believe that had they people have said if they had known that ahead of time, they wouldn't have voted for Biden.
And all of it turned out to be true.
And God only knows what we'll find out about what's going to happen in this election.
Yeah, and I think that the telling sign here on the polling, and one of the reasons why I left Congress and went to create True Social with President Trump Sean is because I saw a different poll.
It wasn't just the poll about the Hunter Biden laptop and how that influenced the election.
I also saw a startling poll that showed that over half of Americans when they went to vote in 2020 still believed that the Republican Party and Trump were complicit with Putin and Russia.
And then when they banned the president, millions of other Americans from social media, and then they nuked Parler from everywhere, all these big tech companies, that's when I kind of said, oh, my gosh, I've spent the last four years of my life, you know, mired down in what is the biggest political scandal in history with the DOJ, the FBI, all the things that you just said, DNC, all of them, and the fake news.
And I'm the one, it's me and my family that get accused of crimes.
And then later on, you see polling where half of America still believes this nonsense.
And I would just further put an exclamation point on this, Sean, that those 51 people, these are all highly trained folks that were high-level military and intelligence folks.
Now, look, granted, I spent my fair share of time in Congress.
I spent over a decade dealing directly with intelligence reports.
When I saw that dossier in January of 2017, I looked at that and said, what in the hell is this?
When at first week, I thought it was a joke.
I read it.
I'm like, this is a joke.
Sean, but I was in the meetings.
I was in the meetings with Comey and all these characters.
And I'm like, what the hell is this?
And I just quickly read it.
I mean, I'm talking about scanning this in like a short, I'm talking in like a 10 or 15 minute timeframe.
And I'm like, you guys can't possibly think that this is real.
Like, you know, this is bogus, right?
Like, nobody, like, nobody in their right mind would believe it.
What do they say to you?
They said at the time, oh, we're getting to the bottom of it.
We're really looking at it.
Well, what were they doing?
They were offering still a million bucks and Danchinko to come on as an informant.
But even worse than that.
We were on to it.
Not being able to verify it even at that point.
They were still using it.
Again, the top of a FISA application says verified.
They were lying to the court the whole time.
What would happen to you, me, Trump, anybody with the last name Trump, Bannon, anybody?
What if any other American listening to this program right now lied before a judge?
What do you think would happen?
You'd be indicted.
Indicted and likely given jail time, right?
That's correct.
And look, whether it was the Hillary Clinton email scandal, which we know had classified information, Comey told us so, they didn't raid her house.
They didn't raid Hunter Biden's house.
They didn't raid any of these guys.
But then they go and raid just a few months ago Mar-a-Lago for supposed classified documents that they can't even identify.
And I think that's one of the things that people miss too, Sean, in this whole Mar-a-Lago raid.
When documents are classified, especially at high level, they know where they're at.
Like, you would know where they're at.
People keep track of all of these documents.
So some document didn't just disappear out of the blue without somebody knowing about it for a long time.
And the fact, and this is what I can't understand with the court and how they've ruled on this situation so far with the Mar-a-Lago raid.
There is no possible way that when you go in to get a warrant, if you think that somebody has a classified document, you should be able to name those classified documents.
But no, what did that judge do?
An open-ended warrant to go into Mar-a-Lago and get whatever the hell they want.
And they've still never said what classified documents they suspected to be in there.
And you know why they didn't, Sean?
Because they don't know.
They didn't have a clue because it's all just.
It was a phishing expedition from the beginning, but no reasonable prosecutor would ever prosecute.
And Hillary had more top secret classified emails on her servers that they believe was hacked by hostile regimes and nothing happened to her.
I mean, this is a scary time in American history.
By the way, I urge everybody to join Truth Social.
I'm on there at Sean Hannity with my handle.
And I urge you to join it because, you know what?
The time for these other places that censor silence information and advocate for one party over another, that has to come to an end.
And places like Rumble and places like Truth Social, you know, they're the new emerging alternative.
So I wish you all the best with them.
Hey, Sean, thanks a lot.
And we're finally now fully open.
And last week, we finally were able, we were put onto the Google Play Store.
So now you can get us on any device in the United States.
It's taken us a while to get there, but we're glad to be here now.
All right, good news.
All right, Devin Nunes, thank you.
When we come back, we'll get to the phones.
800-941-SHAWN.
You want to be a part of the program this Friday?
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, New York Post had a pretty fun page today, and it's about the election year conversions of so many candidates.
Like they got Joe Biden on a couple of things, for example.
Now, we're going to redirect money away from the police, right?
Absolutely.
Ask him now.
Oh, no, no, we're not going to defund the police.
You know, John Fetterman out there, we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less safe.
25 convicted murderers this guy wanted to release.
He's nuts.
And everybody from Mandela Barnes to Nancy Pelosi to Beto Bozo.
Anyway, for your entertainment purposes, this is what we mean by election year flip-flops.
Surplus military equipment for law enforcement.
They don't need that.
The last thing you need is an uparmored Humvee coming into a neighborhood.
It's like the military invading.
They don't know anybody.
They become the enemy.
They're supposed to be protecting these people.
So my generic point is that- Do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?
Yes, absolutely.
We should all agree.
The answer is not to defund the police.
It's to fund the police.
Fund them.
He said something remarkable that I agree with.
He said, we could reduce our prison population by a third and not make anyone less safe in Pennsylvania.
This idea that I want to release all these prisoners is just also a lie.
Do you agree that police budgets should be maybe completely done away with or defunded?
Not completely done away with.
We need to invest more in neighborhood services and programming for our residents, for our communities on the front end.
Where will that money come from?
Well, it can come from overbloated budgets and police departments.
And, you know, defunding isn't necessarily as aggressive as a lot of folks paint it.
We knew the other side will make up lies about me to scare you.
Now they're claiming I want to defund the police and abolish ICE.
That's a lie.
People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness.
He does not.
He does not have that power.
That has to be an act of Congress.
Well, we said you're debt president because we didn't know what authority the president had to do these.
And now clearly, it seems he has to build this down.
I really love that Black Lives Matter and other protesters have put this front and center to defund these line items that have over-militarized our police and instead invest that money in the human capital of your community.
Make sure that you have the services, the help, the support, the health care necessary to be well and not require police intervention.
And then also, in some necessary cases, completely dismantling those police forces and rebuilding them.
Do you support measures to defund police?
You have 60 seconds.
Of course, I don't.
And no one does.
We asked California's current top cop, Kamala Harris, for her position on this controversial issue.
Your opponent, Ron Gold, has said that he is for the legalization of marijuana recreationally.
Your thoughts on that.
That he's entitled to his opinion.
Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.
Some folks have raised worries that this could be a sign of persistent inflation, but that's not our view.
Our experts believe, and the data shows, that most of the price increases we've seen were expected and are expected to be temporary.
Prices are still too high.
The temporary comment was in July of 2021.
Now he's saying this month, prices are still too high.
It's going to be temporary.
Just such a bunch of phonies.
It's unreal.
Anyway, 800-941, Sean Jonathan is in the great state of Georgia.
Herschel Walker State.
We need that Senate seat badly.
What's going on, Jonathan?
How are you?
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Thank you for calling.
Boy, a record turnout.
So much for Jim Crow 2.0 down there.
Yeah, I work as a travel nurse.
I travel back and forth in between states, listening to your show all the time.
By the way, I know people that do that.
That's a very cool opportunity.
If you like to travel, meet new people, you go to different facilities, hospitals, or whatever.
I mean, I know people that do it.
They love it.
Yeah, it's worked out for us.
It allows my wife to stay home with the kids.
You know, the classic American family that's under attack, not super popular, but world-fashioned like that, and works for us.
You know, let me give you some advice about what other people think.
I'm just throwing this out there.
And this is for everybody.
You cannot live your life caring about what other people think of you.
I mean, I try to instill this in my kids.
I said, you have to make your own choices and decisions in life.
And if people don't like you, then they don't like you.
So what?
There'll be other people that are drawn to you and will appreciate the authentic you.
And so I applaud you for you don't need to apologize for you and your wife and your family making a decision that works for you.
Yeah, we believe, you know, having their mom there with them every day and not going to daycare and being under somebody else's care.
You know, there's some things that are just more important than money.
And to us, that's one of them.
Listen, I would tell you, and I've told my own kids this, I've apologized to them.
I worked too much too often.
I was gone too often in some of their growing up years.
I tried to make up for it on weekends and be with them all the time.
But then there were plenty of weekends I had to travel to.
But they understand and they look at me like that.
Just shut up.
Leave me alone.
We love you, Dad.
You know, they're very good kids.
Well, the reason I was calling, I know the Senate race here in Georgia is heating up, but I also didn't want any of my fellow Georgians to lose sight of the governor's race between Kemp and Abrams.
She's running to bring those left ideologies from Washington here to Georgia.
She's called our state the worst state to live in.
And I think all along the way, she's done things to improve herself and her own status since she ran in 2018 when she had mass personal amounts of debt and now she's worth millions of dollars.
She's never even held office yet.
So I think that she, at least in my opinion, has shown that.
Look, I agree with you.
I've focused more on Herschel's race because it's closer, and the Democrats have spent tens and tens of millions of dollars on him.
And Stacey Abrams has just said the most insane things, including it's the worst state to live in.
And she single-handedly, although Raphael Warnock was right there with her, were lying about Georgia's new voting law as evidenced by the turnout record turnout that you've had so far this year.
She cost the state $100 million when you lost the MLB All-Star game.
Then she made the insane comment just this week about, well, kids are expensive, so abortion is one way you can save money pretty much.
I'm paraphrasing, but like, are you kidding me?
You really, that's your argument for inflation?
I'm like, wow.
Well, I hope people realize what's weighing on this election.
I think we're at a turning point, and our rights are being eroded away a little at a time, and that's not something you get back.
So I hope people don't lose sight of that.
You got a great lieutenant governor on the ticket.
If I was in Georgia, I would be voting for Kemp.
I'd be voting for the lieutenant governor.
I'd be voting for Herschel Walker and every other Republican up and down the ticket.
That's how I would vote.
But unfortunately, I don't have my voter registration updated in Georgia right now.
Well, I agree with you, and I appreciate you taking my call.
All right.
Listen, thanks for what you do.
Nurses are very special people.
It's a very hard job, and you help save people's lives.
If people only really knew that it's often the nurses that do all the real medical treatment and work, and the doctors just come in and tell them what to do.
Meanwhile, the nurses know sometimes more than the doctors do.
So thanks for all you do.
Anyway, let's go to Pennsylvania.
Liz is standing by.
Liz, hey, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
How are you today?
I'm good.
I'm glad you checked in.
Happy Friday to you.
Yeah, well, it's not my Friday.
I'm a truck driver.
I never get a Friday.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now, do you own an owner operator?
Do you work for a company?
What do you do?
No, I work for a company.
Yeah, you're happy with your company?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They treat me great.
I wouldn't, but I'm going to retire here.
They do really well.
In fact, I'm just getting back from California, Washington State.
I'm taking a little bit of a break and catch up on some sleep.
Good for you.
Well, it's a very hard job.
And I think Americans learned during COVID and the supply chain crisis that if it weren't for people like you doing that hard work, all of our store shelves would be empty because everything in there got there because of people like you.
Yeah.
Well, we did a lot of hoofing because we were under, you know, emergency declaration and stuff so we could run some hours that we wouldn't be able to get away with usually.
So, but again, we did some we did some running for the first few months of COVID.
So all right, what's your favorite food when you're on the road?
Where do you like to eat?
Oh, God, I got so many delis I can get into this place up in Maine that has these lobster rolls that are out of this world.
Yeah, my sensei loves lobster rolls.
That's his big cheat dish.
Yeah.
Well, it's not cheap anymore.
It's like eight.
No, no, no, cheat, cheat.
You know, meaning he's big into eating just protein.
So he, you know, he doesn't want to touch a carb.
He doesn't want to touch any bread, but he'll eat a lobster roll.
Yeah.
Well, I got lost one time up there in Maine.
I ended up at the wrong exit, and I accidentally got lost, and I made a right instead of a left, and blah, blah, blah.
And I ended up at it.
I'm like, I can get around back there.
And then he had lobster rolls.
I'm like, okay, I'll try one.
And I was just up there a month ago.
This was a couple years ago when I tried one.
But they're not there anymore.
I'm like, where'd you go?
Don't you hate that when your favorite place closes down?
I'm like, I hate that.
Anyway, what's on your mind today?
Tell us, I know this isn't why you're called.
I will admit that I did not vote for Oz in the primary.
I voted for McCormick.
Okay, but I'm not sure.
I've gotten to know Dave.
I like Dave a lot.
He's a good guy.
He's supporting Oz fully.
I like the fact that he was a businessman, you know, like Trump, you know.
And, you know, but Dr. Oz, we need to pull him through.
But I'll tell you what, he's got to get his butt up to Erie.
Now, he's been up to Erie.
As a matter of fact, because I check in with him often, he's been all around the state.
I can check when he was last there, but I know he's been in Erie a number of times.
Well, I have an uncle that's up there in Northeast, Pennsylvania, and he, you know, he's really into Oz.
And he says, I wish he'd come up here, you know, because that's right on the border of New York.
I mean, and I said, well, I thought he was down there in Erie.
No, he hasn't been to Erie.
He says, I don't know what you're talking about.
And I said, well, how about Meadville or anything like that or anything out your way?
And he said, nope, I haven't heard nothing about it.
I just texted him.
I'll see if I can get an answer for you.
Linda lives in Pennsylvania.
He was there three weeks ago.
He was at the Erie parade.
He marched in the street in Erie.
Yeah, I remember him telling me a number of times he'd been up there.
If we hear that he's going back there in the next 18 days, we'll try and announce it and hopefully your family knows him.
You don't have to get up to Erie.
I know that's a doorway.
I mean, because Trump won Erie, okay?
And he really needs to get up there because those Republicans up there will turn on a Republican on a dime.
Okay, so I just got, he was in the Erie parade.
He was touring Parade Street in Erie.
He gave a speech talking about safety revitalization and from WJETWFXP, your Erie.com, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Dr. Mehmed Oz visited Erie Thursday and then blah, blah, blah.
So he's been up there a couple of times.
Okay, and he's got to get to Valley Forge and King of Prussia, Northern Philly.
You know, because, you know, like, he's been there.
I'm telling you, I've been in touch with him.
He's been all over the state and he's driving everywhere.
He's putting, you know, I think he put like 100,000 miles on his car just driving everywhere.
Okay.
Well, then I'm wrong or my uncle's wrong or something along those lines.
We'll go to his website.
I think it's droz.com and check out where his appearances are going to be.
And hopefully, you know, he can go see him there.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
You have a great day.
You have a great day, Liz.
Appreciate you.

on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Let's head back to our busy phones this Friday.
Joe in Tennessee.
What's up, Joe?
How are you, my friend?
Oh, Sean, thank you so much for taking my call.
I can't tell you what an honor it is.
The honor is all my.
Well, I just wanted to say, you know, I live in Tennessee, originally from Rhode Island, and I know there's a lot of conservatives kind of been quiet the last couple of years coming out of their slumber, and they're starting to see the ways up there with Alan Fung in Rhode Island and some of these other close races in these traditionally blue states.
And, you know, I know what it's like to be the only conservative in a room full of liberal crazy.
I graduated from Brown University 20 years ago, and I was always the only conservative voice in any of those classrooms.
By the way, I was a contractor.
I did a lot of work on Benefit Street, which I'm sure you know well.
Oh, absolutely.
I've been skateboarding around Providence since the late 80s.
And, you know, I've got a wonderful education as just a kid from Providence.
It was such an opportunity.
But yeah, I mean, I saw the beginnings of all this CRT stuff, all this intersectionality, all this gender fluidity.
And I would always be fighting against it.
And so it would be me and 30 kids just arguing against me.
So, you know, when you're in that situation, you know, you got to just stick to the facts.
You got to be calm and present things clearly.
You got to point out their hypocrisy.
You're giving advice.
When did you graduate from Brown?
2003.
All right.
I got to be real quick here.
Five years ago is when I first heard about what's your pronoun.
And it's because friends of mine, their daughter went to Brown.
And on the first day, they walk around, I guess, the square and they ask people how they want to be addressed.
That's when I first heard it.
I'd never heard of it before.
So it's a very different Brown now than it was then, and it's getting worse every day.
And by the way, it's a top issue in this campaign.
Woke education versus classical education.
Anyway, Joe, appreciate it.
You survived an Ivy League school.
You should get a bump.
