| And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently. | |

| Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| Our news roundup information overload hour on this Friday, 800-941-SHAWN. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, one of our top stories today, Kyrsten Sinema announcing she is now registering as an independent and leaving the Democratic Socialist Party. | |
| I've registered as an Arizona independent. | |
| I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually I think it makes a lot of sense. | |
| You know, a growing number of Arizonans and people like me just don't feel like we fit neatly into one party's box or the other. | |
| And so like many across the state and the nation, I've decided to leave that partisan process and really just focus on the work that I think matters to Arizona and to our country, which is solving problems and getting things done. | |
| So the uh ever since uh Raphael Warnock, Senator Warnock was re-elected earlier this week, the balance of power right now is fifty-one Democrats or fifty-one votes for the Democratic Party that includes two independents, Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, but that's fifty-one forty-nine. | |
| What you're doing today doesn't change that. | |
| It's still basically going to be fifty-one forty-nine. | |
| Well, I know you have to ask that question, Jake. | |
| But that's kind of a DC thing to worry about. | |
| What I'm really focused on is just making sure that I'm doing what I think comports with my values and the values of Arizonans. | |
| So when I c come to work each day, it'll be the same. | |
| I'm gonna still come to work and hopefully serve on uh the same committees I've been serving on and continue to work well with my colleagues of both political parties, and I'm not really spending much time worrying about what the mechanics look like for Washington DC. | |
| And to be honest, Jake, I don't think anyone in Arizona is caring about that either. | |
| Um so I don't think things will change much for me, and I don't think things will change much for Arizonans. | |
| All right, joining us this Friday uh with our news roundup uh hour in news and review, Joe Concha, of course, Fox News chief media uh analyst and the author of Come On Man and Mark Simone, host of the Top Morning Show on W O R in New York. | |
| Uh well, Mark, were you surprised by the decision and more importantly, how did you like the answer that Cinema gave to uh Jake Tapper? | |
| Um I know you have to ask the question, Jake, but that's a DC thing. | |
| I'm not gonna answer it. | |
| I love that answer. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, you see, we're talking about her values, and if you're worried about your values, you kinda have to leave the Democratic Party. | |
| Uh it's not a place for values. | |
| And uh hopefully the Democratic Party's getting a just a stigma attached to it. | |
| If people think a high crime, high taxes, high inflation, all that they think Democrats, it's better to be independent. | |
| Uh and she said she won't caucus with Republicans, you know, caucus, uh caucus means when you're in the back room doing all that wheeling and dealing. | |
| Uh to make it sound better, they call it caucusing, but it's still bad stuff. | |
| So what do you think happens, Joe Conscious? | |
| Is she gonna is she gonna vote for Chuck Schumer to be the leader in the in the Senate? | |
| Is she gonna caucus with the Democrats in that way, or maybe really truly be independent and say, nope, I'm not gonna be a part of any of this. | |
| I think the letters be there, Sean. | |
| I I think that we saw with with Kirsten Cinema with Don't Act Better. | |
| Remember that was the five trillion dollar bill that was ultimately rejected by the Senate because of cinema and manchin. | |
| And then she also rejected the federalization of voting rights where you take it away from the state and you play by the democratic rules in every state. | |
| So on the big issues, she has gone against her own party. | |
| I just find the media coverage hilarious. | |
| Because when John McCain would buck his own party and vote against, say, for instance, oh, they loved it. | |
| Yeah, of Obamacare, yeah. | |
| That's a true maverick, putting country over party, then cinema does it. | |
| It's traitor. | |
| How dare you? | |
| Oh, it's it's only gonna get worse. | |
| It it's definitely only gonna get worse. | |
| Now the the question I have, I've been watching Joe Manchin. | |
| When Joe Manchin was standing up to Schumer and Biden and against Bill Bagbroke, and and then he then he finally gave in on the inflation reduction act, or what I call the tax the poor, the middle class and people on fixed income act. | |
| When he when he gave into that, his approval ratings prior to that were in the 70s, the highest they'd ever been in West Virginia. | |
| And then he's in the Inflation Reduction Act, and it goes down to the in high 30s. | |
| I think it was at 38% I saw in one poll. | |
| Part of that deal, he was supposed to get a pipeline from West Virginia, I believe it was to the state of Virginia, I forget where. | |
| That pipeline is not forthcoming. | |
| They are they have completely reneged on that promise. | |
| And then just before the November eighth election, Mark Simone, you remember the comments about Cole that Joe Biden made that he was going to eliminate it and that he was going to eliminate all drilling uh offshore and onshore in America, and and Joe Manchin hit the roof. | |
| Now he's up for reelection in 2024. | |
| I'm not sure he can win running as a Democrat and running as a Democrat that has been aligned with Schumer and with Biden. | |
| I want to like Joe Manchin, but you want a good infrastructure project, build a backbone for Joe Manchin so he sticks to his principles. | |
| That's a good idea. | |
| Yeah, I mean, he's got the consistency of John Kerry. | |
| I just uh you never he he's whatever way the wind blows, uh, meaning he's all for this unless there's a bridge involved, and maybe we could switch over to this. | |
| I I don't know if Democrats can trust him and if Republicans can trust him now. | |
| What do you think Joe Conja? | |
| Joe Manchin has been we we we've talked to some people who would like to see him run as an independent for president. | |
| But I think he's a man without a party, right? | |
| I mean, Democrats uh don't trust him. | |
| And and to Mark's point, but Republicans, when push comes to shove, don't trust him. | |
| Uh but uh can I see him becoming an independent? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| I mean, cinema now has made this a lot easier for him. | |
| And again, to your point, when you drop something like 35 points in approval, uh, Sean, you you gotta do something different if you want to get reelected, and I think that would be to either become an independent or outright just become a Republican, and then if you want to see Unhinged Heads Exploding, were to do that, uh, that that that that would be some great popcorn theater, no question. | |
| Let me ask you both about this news of this prisoner swap, Brittany Griner for this merchant of death uh arms dealer, Victor Boot. | |
| Um, one thing that really caught my attention and has raised my suspicion, Mark Simone is MBC yesterday put out a report uh quoting a U.S. official telling MBC News that the U.S. government had sought both Grinder and uh Paul Whalen, who's been in jail in Russia for four years without any evidence of being a spy, but putting that aside, um anyway, Griner was released. | |
| But they report that the officials said that Russia had treated Whalen differently uh and that the Kremlin gave the White House the choice of either Griner or Whalen. | |
| Now later in the day, they revised that story, uh, taking that part of the story out, saying they got it wrong. | |
| After everything that we learned from the Twitter files as it relates to the influence of the Democratic Party with media in the case of Twitter, you know, big tech media, in the case of MBC traditional media, uh why am I suspicious that it was taken out because they didn't like the story? | |
| Oh, I know I agree. | |
| I'm sure they had a choice. | |
| Uh if you leave the choice up to woke Democrats between a marine war hero and a WNBA player, they're gonna go with the player. | |
| This has got to be the first time in history anybody's paid any attention to a WNBA trade. | |
| Uh it's the worst basketball I've ever seen, but uh I'm sure they had that choice. | |
| And if you know, and I know we all know if it were Donald Trump, he would have figured out a way to get both of them back. | |
| You're talking about the merchant of death, you could definitely get two people for that that guy. | |
| I I mean it was such an awful deal, and reports are out there that Vladimir Putin himself, you know, he's out there bragging about this, uh, you know, saying he rolled Joe Biden, and in many ways he did roll Joe Biden. | |
| Former Kremlin aide says, yeah, Putin outplayed Biden on this prisoner swap. | |
| Completely and totally. | |
| And Biden, remember, as a candidate said that he was the one who was gonna stand up to Vladimir Putin. | |
| Look, going back to the NBC report for a moment, Sean. | |
| We saw this movie just recently, right? | |
| Paul Pelosi and that report that happened where an MBC reporter actually was asking good questions. | |
| Hey, why what happened during those thirty minutes when Paul Pelosi was alone with the person that broke into their home? | |
| Hey, why did Paul Pelosi walk back towards his eventual attacker after police came? | |
| Why didn't he leave the House? | |
| And that guy has not been, that reporter has not been on the air since they pulled that report three weeks ago. | |
| And we don't know why he was suspended, why he has been taken off the air, and Paul Pelosi basically it seems some people got to MBC saying you can't run this, and they pulled the report off the air. | |
| Now we're seeing it again. | |
| We see reporting that it could have been Grindr, or it could have been an ex-US Marine coming home, and we chose the celebrity, so to speak, over the person who's been there for three years longer and served this country and and would have fought and died for this country. | |
| So when they pull reports like this, it seems like they're the ones getting worked over the same way Joe Biden was worked over by Vladimir Putin. | |
| And MBC, not a surprise serving at the pleasure of the Democratic Party. | |
| It's not such a far-fetched notion, Sean. | |
| All right, quick break more with Joe Concha, more with Mark Simone on the other side than your calls 800-941. | |
| Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, want to remind you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, born on 9-11, 2001. | |
| They've been helping American heroes ever since. | |
| And when a first responder or military service member does not come home, young kids left behind, tunnel to towers, they pay the mortgage on the family home to lift that financial burden and bring that family stability. | |
| Now, for catastrophically injured veterans, first responders, Tunnel to Towers also builds mortgage-free smart homes, giving our most severely injured heroes the ability to live more independent lives, and through their veterans' homelessness program, Tunnel to Towers is providing housing and service uh services to homeless vets all across the country. | |
| More than five hundred this year alone, because they believe and I agree with them, all veterans who honorably served our great country in peacetime, wartime, they deserve this nation's gratitude. | |
| Now, people who want to put their lives on the line for our country, for our communities, they now need our help, and hopefully you'll join the entire Hannity team here and join Tunnel to Towers on their mission to do good in their honor, and they're asking all of us to donate and commit eleven bucks a month. | |
| You can do it by going to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. | |
| When the world gives you insanity, he gives you common sense solutions. | |
| This country needs a course correction immediately. | |
| Find your station at Hannity.com and listen three hours a day. | |
| All right, we continue our Friday news roundup with Joe Concha and Mark Simone. | |
| Let me go to the issue of the Twitter files. | |
| Uh we had the second release last night by journalist Barry uh Weiss, formerly of the New York Times. | |
| Um, but it shows that there were uh blacklists of accounts that they didn't like and they prevented disfavored tweets from trending, actively limited the the visibility of entire accounts. | |
| Then we find out that in fact the FBI is up to its eyeballs in all of this. | |
| They were in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, they were meeting weekly with all of these big tech companies, and they were warning them all about a hack and leak operation. | |
| Uh the only problem with this is the FBI agent that organized these weekly meetings, it turns out was a uh big anti-Trumper. | |
| His postgraduate thesis claimed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump. | |
| Uh, but then we find out that not only from Twitter's former head of site integrity, a guy by the name of Yo Roth, uh, that in fact, not only were they talking about hack and leak information being disseminated, um, they w they said it might even directly be related to Hunter Biden. | |
| So before the Hunter Biden story ever broke, all of these big tech companies were warned specifically, hey, there might be there might be information that comes your way about Hunter Biden. | |
| You better be very, very careful of it because it's likely not true, or it's hacked materials, which probably explains their reluctance and resistance to even allow anyone to post the New York Post story. | |
| Mark. | |
| Well, it's the worst collusion, censorship, awful stuff. | |
| A few years ago it all started. | |
| It happened to me, and I started talking to other people. | |
| It was happening to anybody supporting Trump. | |
| Anybody want to post anything bad about Democrats, they started shadow banning us. | |
| Then they spread it to other things. | |
| If you wanted to uh disagree with the vaccine, you could get shadow banned. | |
| Uh it was just all you know, you could argue it's a private company, but so is the uh telephone, Alexander Graham Bell originally. | |
| Imagine if he said, if I don't like what you're saying, you can't talk on my phone. | |
| You can't have that, something's got to be done about it. | |
| Thank God Musk is exposing this. | |
| But now Twitter is getting shadow banned. | |
| You don't see any coverage of all this in the New York Times or on the nightly news and the networks, the Sunday shows. | |
| This is getting shadow banned by the rest of the media. | |
| What's your reaction to all this, Joe? | |
| I mean, this is your area of expertise. | |
| Well, you look at ABC NBC CBS, their morning and evening newscast. | |
| And before you say no one watches the evening news anymore. | |
| Believe it or not, the numbers are still fairly strong. | |
| When you combine their audiences in the evening news section, for example, more than 20 million people watch uh per night combined. | |
| And they have not covered any of these document dumps given to Matt Taibbi, an actual real independent journalist, and Barry Weiss, an actual real independent journalist, as you said, for only the New York Times. | |
| He's not getting invited to CPAC anytime soon. | |
| And they're ignoring this completely. | |
| So that's called the bias of omission, which is the most insidious kind of bias, because that is withholding information that the public should know. | |
| And they're doing it knowingly, obviously, because let's say we just change two names out here for a second, Sean, Mark. | |
| Let's say we took out Hunter Biden laptop and we made it Eric Trump's laptop. | |
| What do you think that coverage would look like? | |
| They'd be starting impeachment hearings for Donald Trump, even though he's 23 months out of office, if if that were the case. | |
| But as usual, it's silence of the land from the folks that serve at the pleasure of the Democratic Party. | |
| Well, what does this mean for big tech go going forward, uh, Mark? | |
| Um, and should all the other big tech companies now be required to release their policies and systems and what they're doing behind the scenes. | |
| Remember, they have Section 230 protections in terms of liability protection, uh, that is not that probably shouldn't be afforded to a lot of these companies. | |
| Yeah, uh, and it's just about being a publisher. | |
| It's like I said with the uh phone and Alexander Grimbell, it comes to the point where you gotta declare it a utility, and you can't get involved in this kind of censorship. | |
| I see the same shadow banning still going on on Facebook, and uh, I'm sure everybody else is guilty of it. | |
| It's gotta stop, and uh I I don't know who's gonna crack down on it. | |
| I mean, certainly not the Democrats, not this administration. | |
| And if they were smart, these uh these sites like Facebook would try to get away from the news, get out of politics, and stay away from it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Joe. | |
| Since we have a Republican Congress coming in on January 3rd, if people talk about how, you know, uh, the midterms were horrible. | |
| The midterms, you know, okay, I get that Republicans should have won by three touchdowns in the House and taken the Senate. | |
| Uh they they lost one seat in the Senate, but they still took the House, and that's important because now you could have investigations around this. | |
| You can get the heads of Google and Facebook and all the other big tech companies up on Capitol Hill and finally get some answers around this and really do something about the aforementioned Section 230, which provides them liability protection. | |
| That you take that away, then suddenly these companies uh will struggle mightily. | |
| But either way, Elon Musk uh probably should have got person of the year because he really, and he won it last year as well. | |
| He has really unveiled what we already knew. | |
| Now we have the receipts, and that's very important, Sean. | |
| You know what? | |
| I I just find Elon a fascinating figure. | |
| I I think he's a modern-day pioneer. | |
| Um, you know, he's one of these people that is transforming media by doing this. | |
| I think it's taking great courage. | |
| Uh and what what is one of the thanks that he gets? | |
| An investigation into the fact that one of his office buildings in San Francisco uh has a bedroom in it in case one of his employees is working overtime and gets tired and wants to take an hour's nap. | |
| As if they don't have enough problems in San Francisco. | |
| Hey there. | |
| I'm Mary Catherine Hammond, and I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional fast, you're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| Hey there. | |
| I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |

| All right, 25 till the top of the hour on a Friday, 800-941 Sean. | |
| You want to be a part of the program. | |
| Chris, Kansas City, glad you called Chris. | |
| How are you? | |
| Oh man, how you doing? | |
| It's uh that's uh good to finally talk to you every time we I know it's hard to get into your show, but I wanted to get in on this one. | |
| Um this Britney Greiner thing, man. | |
| You mean to tell me that the United States of America traded an arms dealer for a women's WNBA basketball, not even star, just person. | |
| Nobody knew who she was until she got stuck in Russia. | |
| Yeah, we got somebody who busted their butt, went through all the training to serve our country, and he's still sitting there, but they want us to believe that we we we tried, but they said no. | |
| So one American's better than no Americans. | |
| Well, this is what you do. | |
| If that's all they were gonna offer, then sorry, Brittany, you gotta stay. | |
| It's not worth letting you know this this type of guy go back to Russia. | |
| It's just not worth it. | |
| Um you know, everybody makes the big deal about, you know, she just had just you know, a little bit of contraband on her. | |
| That's that's you know, it's uh it's so bad. | |
| Listen, I'm I'm I'm don't look at me wrong. | |
| I'm glad Britney Greiner's home, you know, and I'm glad she got home in a timely fashion where she can now uh build back her life uh as an athlete, she only has X number of years where she's able to perform at a level where she can make a lot of money, and I want that for her, but I also want Paul Whalen out. | |
| He's been there four years, he's a Marine, he served his country, served in Iraq, and I can't believe we give up the merchant of death for somebody that has a minor weed uh uh conviction in Russia. | |
| Um, and you know, I I guess you have to prioritize. | |
| Now Biden is claiming that they didn't offer Whalen. | |
| Uh MBC News reported that in fact they had a choice, and then they took back that story. | |
| Did they take it back because the administration pressured them to take it back, or it's a fact. | |
| I don't know anymore. | |
| After what we've learned from Twitter and the influence that the Democrats have on all of big tech, nothing surprises me anymore. | |
| Uh they can call conservatives conspiracy theorists all they want, but the reality is that you have an unholy alliance between the Democratic Party and their spokespeople, and that is the the media mob. | |
| That's the they are tied at the hip. | |
| They're one and the same, they're an extension of each other. | |
| So it was a horrible deal by any objective measure. | |
| Now, had Joe gotten Whalen and Britney Greiner out, that would have been a far better deal. | |
| I would have been happy with that deal, although still Vladimir would have gotten the better part of the deal. | |
| I said you're you're I believe you're 100% correct. | |
| And you know, and this is what I tell everybody. | |
| It's you know, you look at it as just nobody should be held on, you know what what she was held on. | |
| But you're in a different country. | |
| You're not here in the United States. | |
| In the United States it'd be totally different, but you're there. | |
| I mean, you should know, hey, I better do my research and see what I can and cannot take there. | |
| You know, yeah. | |
| Bonehead decision on her part to do that. | |
| But I don't buy it for one second. | |
| And and this is what I see, you know. | |
| They uh they said that they've been trying those to get our our marine out for you know, so many months now. | |
| But Brittany Greiner has been there how long they were able to, you know, uh get her out, you know, fairly Quick. | |
| To me, and and I'm not gonna lie, it looks like Biden wants to share up with the black vote, the LGBTQ vote. | |
| Hey, I got her home. | |
| Look at me, this is what I did. | |
| And it's it's almost like a game of chess. | |
| I mean, it just to me it and it don't. | |
| You know, I'm glad she's here. | |
| Nobody should be stuck over there in their jail system. | |
| But it was a bad trade. | |
| And honestly, if you're trying to let a killer go back for a WNBA star, I would almost say, yeah, no, we we can't do that. | |
| Let's come to the table and let's see what else we can do. | |
| We're looking if I was president, I would have held out for both, or I wouldn't have done the deal. | |
| Um with that said, uh, I am glad that Brittany's home, but I do wish that Mr. Whalen was home also. | |
| He's a Marine, he served his country, he's been there for years, he deserves to come home too. | |
| Yeah, he he he definitely deserves to be here, and uh people are outraged. | |
| Um the white house has to know it. | |
| I I I just don't see how they can spin this off as you know, Joe the hero, he got Brittany by and it's it's it's no, it's it's it's not how we see this. | |
| It it's there are outraged Americans right now. | |
| It's all over social media. | |
| It's whoever you know you you you talk to in your day-to-day life, or people at work. | |
| I mean, it it's all over the place, and everybody I have talked to, you know, feels the same way. | |
| Everybody feels the same way, but it's just you know, the White House is spinning this is, you know, you know, Joe Biden done this great job, you got her home. | |
| No, that's that that's not how we've seen it. | |
| This trade is the trade was horrible. | |
| There's so much mockery going on about this. | |
| I just think they have to know it. | |
| Look, I uh you know, it this is look, I'm putting the politics of Brittany Greiner aside. | |
| She's not somebody that wants to stand for the national anthem or even be on the quarter of the national anthem. | |
| Uh it's not about politics to me, it's about an American being held unjustly in a foreign country. | |
| Uh but then on the other hand, you've got a Marine who served this country that would proudly stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
| His brother just told us today uh that he gets up every morning in a Russian prison and sings our national anthem. | |
| And he's still behind bars in Russia. | |
| And the merchant of death, which obviously Vladimir Putin wanted out pretty bad, uh, I think over time would have given both prisoners to us to the merchant of death. | |
| And that's that's a matter of negotiation, and you know what? | |
| Joe's not particularly good at it. | |
| Anyway, appreciate the call. | |
| Thanks, Chris. | |
| Uh let's say hi to Jimmy's in Texas. | |
| Jimmy, how are you, man? | |
| What's going on? | |
| Happy Friday. | |
| Happy Friday, Sean. | |
| Glad to talk to you. | |
| Great uh big fan of yours for years. | |
| Uh just wanted to touch just want to touch base with, you know, some things here. | |
| I'm uh been in oil field for thirty plus years. | |
| I keep hearing on different uh things of of the uh the uh oil deal. | |
| And this is my I'm a so country boy, Rednik, call me a red nick if you won't do it, I don't I don't have a pronoun to go by. | |
| It's this this is the way it is to be. | |
| How about a great American that works that's worked in the oil industry in the oil fields and the and the gas industry and the energy sector, the lifeblood of our entire the world's entire economy uh that works his ass off every day and has done so for thirty plus years, uh raised his family, I'm assuming, and uh does obeys the laws, pays his taxes, and and pretty much d defines American greatness. | |
| That's how I think you probably are, Jimmy. | |
| I'm a pretty good judge of character. | |
| Yeah, you got that that that pretty much fits me out. | |
| Uh that's that's what I've done all my life, and and and do that, yes. | |
| And uh I uh here I'm talking about this this this problem with the oil is it they all you know, pass the blame, pass the buck, pass this, and that you know I've listened to this on every different news media that you see in social media, whatever you see, it's always passed. | |
| It it all boils down to if you back up and follow the money, you'll find out where it all is. | |
| I mean, I haven't seen anything that showed me how much we were getting for our reserves when Joe was setting them, and then what we're paying for the money the oil coming in. | |
| So there's the the swamp and and I truly believe they exposed themselves when Trump was in office up there. | |
| There is it is underwritten. | |
| They are they are so conniving and have a base built up all the way down through the political the election uh polls and and you're dealing with companies that uh that bill that and they're they're in cahoots with that party, uh this whole mess is just it's just you if you follow the money and you'll find out what the whole seal is because everybody got their finger in the pot is all supportive of this other. | |
| They got the the new energy green deal is they're in cahoots with the big companies that's trying to push their electric cars and their you know anything that's made for that, they're in cahoots with them, they're getting money for their quote paying c uh campaign uh donations, you know, which all falls back into their bike personal back pocket when it's all said and none, you know, and it's just it's just you know, it is corrupt all the way down. | |
| And I don't know if there's my my question, and maybe you can tell me if there is anybody in the FBI, anybody in all in in Washington that is honest and can stand up for the right and get this corruption out from there. | |
| Well, you know what? | |
| It's gonna take all of us to find the right people that have that'll serve the pe their constituencies versus these other people that you know serve themselves. | |
| I mean it's really that simple. | |
| You know, the saddest thing is is here I I'm I'm guessing that the oil industry, the the energy sector has been pretty good to you in your life. | |
| Is that a fair statement? | |
| It's provided you and your family with a good living? | |
| Yes, uh-huh. | |
| Sure has. | |
| Because everybody I know that's worked in oil and gas, even even the guys that drive the trucks, they do pretty well financially, right? | |
| Oh yes, you can you can mu you can make a living and raise a family. | |
| You sure can. | |
| You can make a living, raise a family, go out to eat, go to Disney once when your kids are young, take it a your occasional vacations, not have to worry about paying the mortgage every month. | |
| You have a place to stay, roof over your head, and a pretty comfortable life, right? | |
| That's right. | |
| That's right. | |
| You get an occasional new car or truck or whatever your your that happens to be. | |
| All of that is now being ripped away from Americans because of this mysterious insane policy of oh, well, it's the lifeblood of the world's economy, but we're only gonna work on energy independence with renewables when the technology doesn't even exist, we'll unilaterally disarm. | |
| We won't produce any of this this energy domestically, but we'll import it from countries like Venezuela, uh OPEC uh plus countries, Saudi Arabia, Iran and and Russia uh will pay a premium for it, and uh somehow that's good policy for the environment. | |
| Does that make sense to you? | |
| Oh, yes, it does. | |
| I mean, exactly. | |
| And in this in this uh That makes sense to you? | |
| It doesn't make sense to me. | |
| No, no, I mean what you're saying. | |
| I mean, yeah, it's it's it's crazy. | |
| And this new green deal that they're just keep cramming down our throats. | |
| I'm a I'm a uh small cattle rancher also. | |
| And and they're you know, I see in foreign countries where the government's over there pushing this their green deal in their countries and they're taking over farms and doing away with them because of their green deal and the emissions the cattle are putting off, and they're taking family farms away from them over there and you know, and just destroying their economy with the way they're doing things. | |
| And it and everything I see is pointing in that direction here now because of this agenda that this bunch has got the and and the deal today with I mean with uh Brittany, uh any American is held with uh illegally and and not right, I'm all for any United States American to get back where they belong. | |
| But this was a totally a political stunt because he's got legislature on his desk to sign for federal law for uh marriage guidelines for every state. | |
| And he is playing in to all that to go along and just get more publicity about him signing that deal is the whole deal behind getting her home, I believe. | |
| That's my only my opinion and mine only. | |
| I have no idea what the what the what the why is the where for is and I don't I just don't even trust that they're ever gonna be honest with us anyway and give us the real deal what went behind went on behind the scenes. | |
| Anyway, my friend, don't ever don't uh ever let anyone call you names because uh you're the you're the American that makes America great again. | |
| People like you make America great every single day. | |
| And uh the hard work that you put in, it's you know, that's the heart and soul of this country. | |
| Some people seem to forget it. | |
| I'm not forgetting it. | |
| Why at Colorado next Sean Hannity show? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Hi, Sean. | |
| Uh so I just had a question about the uh twenty twenty four election. | |
| Um you talk about people moving from deep blue states like New York and Pennsylvania and they're moving out of Texas, ca the Carolinas and Florida. | |
| Um you say that'll make the deep blue states more blue, and I agree with that. | |
| But if people are moving out of those blue states, that lowers the population, so won't that affect the electoral college from that state in twenty twenty. | |
| Well, first of all, we only we do a census every ten years. | |
| We just did one, uh, so it's not going to happen dramatically, or uh, I do believe we'll pick up some electoral votes in certain states like Florida, et cetera, maybe Carolina, South Carolina, I think we got one or North Carolina, I'm not sure where. | |
| Not enough to make a difference. | |
| Uh there'll be a couple of fewer, uh there'll be fewer electoral votes in California, but there's still a massive state. | |
| And not enough to make a discernible difference. | |
| Not enough to make up if you don't win Pennsylvania, not enough to make up for Wisconsin, not enough to make up for Michigan. | |
| And those are the states that we've got to figure out how to win. | |
| And for Republicans, you know, you you've got to thread the needle. | |
| You've got to run the table. | |
| You've got to win all of those states. | |
| And if you don't, you're not going to get to 270. | |
| Republicans have a math problem. | |
| And, you know, okay, it's it's a good thing they're not gonna have to spend money or time or much time in Florida. | |
| Not gonna have to spend as much money or time in Ohio, not that they don't want to be there, uh, but their time will be better spent in Michigan and in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, but those states are gonna get harder and harder and harder to win. | |
| And so over time, that's a big concern that I have that a lot of people aren't talking about. | |
| I'm not saying they're not winnable, but um I'm saying that it's hard. | |
| It's a r it was hard before. | |
| Arizona, you can add to the list, Nevada you can add to the list. | |
| So anyway, I appreciate the call. | |
| I hope people start paying attention to this. | |
| I call it accelerated migration. | |
| All right, that's gonna wrap things up. | |
