This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday.
Normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Good afternoon, everybody!
Joe Concha in for Sean Annity.
It's Christmas week after all.
Linda let me come back.
There's like three to one odds against that, but here I am because the eight other people she called, I'm sure, couldn't make it because they actually have plans and are traveling.
And boy, it's going to be a great Christmas around here in the Northeast or anywhere for that matter.
I believe if you're in Cleveland on Christmas Eve, for example, there will be 63 mile an hour winds and a real field temperature of minus 13 degrees.
Chicago, same thing.
Here in New York, the low on Christmas night will be ding, ding, ding, zero, real feel.
So if you're homeless, find somewhere to go in a hurry because I think it's a good thing.
You think so?
Yeah, because they say there's less crime because people are too cold.
They don't come out to commit their crimes.
That's true, right?
So listen, the colder the better.
Stay home.
Stop committing crime.
They don't call it the winter of love, Linda.
It was the summer of love in 2020.
Yeah, those were mostly peaceful riots, right, that happened.
It's harder to set stuff on fire when it's freezing ice and rain.
That's true.
It puts out the fire.
You're welcome.
See, this is why it's great that you're here.
Whoa, ho, ho.
I say you get your own show at some point.
See that?
Forget this producing nonsense.
You got a lot to offer in this regard, right?
Again, we're doing the Joni and Chachi thing.
We got a chemistry thing that's going back and forth.
Ping pong, tennis.
Here we go.
Oh.
I'm going to be quiet now.
Let me do your mono.
No, I want to go back and forth with you.
Let's make it a conversational mono by all by all reasons.
What should we start with?
Should we start with title 41 or 42?
A lot of titles that are going on these days.
And let's see.
Or do we do this omnibus?
Who invented this word, by the way?
What is an omnibus exactly?
I think it's hysterical.
I cannot tell you how many people have said to me.
So what is the omnibus?
I'm like, do you really want to know?
They're like, no.
Right.
Okay, great.
It just means the government's screwing you over more.
I thought it was like gum was underneath like the back seat and there was like a bully out to beat me like waiting for my lunch money.
That's not the omnibus.
That's another bus.
Okay, very good.
So how big is it?
This thing is something like what?
1,455 pages.
And I believe lawmakers just got this recently and they want it read in 48 hours and a vote to happen on it.
Why does this keep happening, Linda?
Can I play a clip that really sort of just encapsulates the reason why?
Yes, you may, because you're the producer after all.
I have no say here.
I'm just here for three hours on hand.
Okay.
All right.
Go ahead.
It's going to be very, very exciting.
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.
Ah, of course.
We pass it.
And then after it's law, then we find out what's in it.
See how that works?
That makes total sense.
Okay.
And that was 2010, I believe, right?
Oh my gosh, was it?
Yeah.
I'm very good at these things.
The fact checkers are listening right now.
They will say, wow, Kanchi is actually one for one so far.
That's not bad.
So, yeah, I mean, we could go through the fun here.
$1.2 million, right?
For L, a lot of letters here.
L-G-B-T-Q-I-A plus, not like CNN plus, but LGBTQIA plus Pride Centers, $1.2 million.
$1.2 million for, quote, services for DACA recipients.
That's otherwise known as helping illegal aliens with taxpayer funds at San Diego Community College, which I didn't get into somehow.
You know, Maryland, they're like, come on in, San Diego community.
They're like, sorry, not going to happen.
Let's see.
$477,000 for the Equity Institute in Rhode Island to indoctorate teachers with, quote, anti-racism virtual labs, unquote.
Boy, we'd love to see what that lab looks like.
We could go on and on here, including $3.6 million for a Michelle Obama trail in Georgia.
Wow, is that like the Appalachian Trail, Linda?
Just curious.
I would say it's slightly different and a lot more expensive.
Yes.
I mean, I'm thinking, you know, I've made trails before, you know, when I was growing up, like for the BMX bicycle that I had.
Some friends had a mongoose.
But the point is that we didn't need a couple million dollars for a trail, but apparently this is a big deal.
$3 million for the American LGBTQ plus Museum in New York City.
$750,000 for the LGBT and gender non-conforming housing in Albany, New York, because that's a hot tourist destination, no question about it.
$2 million for the Great Blacks and Wax Museum in Baltimore.
And finally, $750,000 for the Trans Latin Coalition to provide, quote, workforce development programs and supportive services for transgender and gender non-conforming and intersex immigrant women in Los Angeles.
Also, it appears that we're giving $400 million for border security.
So, you know, that's a plus.
It looks like Joe Biden has finally gotten the message.
What was that number again?
$400 million for border security.
And, you know, Democratic representatives in border states like Texas and Arizona have been saying, please, with the president, please come down here, see this crisis that is now a catastrophe at this border with thousands of people coming across per day.
And it could get a heck of a lot worse if Title 42 goes away.
So please, sir, come down here.
We need to start rebuilding the wall again.
We need to remain in Mexico reinstated again.
And Biden finally said he pulled a Clinton basically back in the mid-90s.
Say, you know what?
You're right.
I do have to work with the other side.
And this is a national security issue because dozens of terrorists have already been caught coming over the U.S. border already.
So I better give up.
Oh, wait a minute.
I didn't see the last part of this.
There was a like coffee on this on these notes that you gave me here, Linda.
It's $400 million for Jordan's border security as in not Michael Jordan's house, the country of Jordan.
$400 million for their border security.
What about ours?
Is there anything in it for ours, Linda?
And this is the scary part, you know?
Yes.
This is the scary part is that you're saying this right now.
And for many people across the country listening, it's the first time they've heard this.
You're right about that.
Because nobody knows what's in it.
They're spending your money.
You think it's an accident that instead of doing a continuing resolution bill with the Congress that is currently holding office, as opposed to doing that and waiting till January when the Republicans regain control?
This is not an accident.
These people are up.
They're like, and McConnell, I mean, McConnell, there is no worse representative for the Republican Party.
This is my opinion, ladies and gentlemen, my personal opinion, for McConnell to stand there taking pictures with Zelensky, talking about how happy he is to give billions of American taxpayer dollars over to this person who's in the middle of a war so serious that Rachel Ray has taken her children's cooking show over to do a live broadcast from Ukraine and he can be here talking to our congressmen and women.
Why?
They can, right?
Yeah.
Because that's the imagery that we're being sent.
And the thing the problem is, is that people say if you say anything negative that, you know, you're against, no, no, no.
I am for the people of Ukraine.
I think they are pawns in the activities of those who lead and dictate them.
And I think if you've been given billions of dollars, you should be heating the homes that welcome and house those children.
Those kids are freezing right now, and you're in America talking to Biden for more billion for what?
Yeah, Russia's bombing Ukraine's infrastructure, particularly their ability to heat homes and so on.
Go take care of those kids.
Take care of those.
I just don't.
This is the thing.
I'm telling you, there's a lot of things I can get past, but you mess with kids and puppies.
I'm out.
I'm not a fan.
I don't blame you.
At 4.30 p.m. Eastern Time, Linda, the Ukrainian president in Zelensky will be having a news conference.
So as the executive producer of this show and highest paid person currently within a 50-yard radius, will we be dumping out and taking that particular news conference?
I would say we will take the highlight reel.
We'll see if they have anything to say.
That's smart.
You know, I really don't anticipate a lot.
You know, we'll have Joe Biden talking about corn pop and chaka chaka chip.
Yes.
And we'll have Zelensky saying that he's in dire straits and that's why he was able to leave his war-torn nation.
You think Biden's going to take questions during this?
Because he was with Boris Johnson once and said, no, I'm not.
I'm not going to do that.
I think if they gave him a piece of paper that says, please take questions, he will do that.
That's true.
He is given orders and he follows them.
He's a good guy.
If Dr. Jill Biden is there to give him a worthers, a question may happen.
Right.
Well, he does poetry for her, apparently.
Did you hear about that?
How nice.
Yeah, on the Truman balcony, I believe.
And we know this because Biden did a very hard-hitting interview.
And you know what?
I got to give him credit.
Like, I'm not going to sit here and bash a guy the entire time.
I know I wrote a book that was very critical of him, but he finally did do an interview.
And it was with, let's see, oh, no, it wasn't with Brett Baer, and it wasn't with Jonathan Swan, who I used to work with the Hill with Axios, who does some pretty tough interviews.
It was with Drew Barrymore.
Yes, on the 40th anniversary of E.T., Linda, right?
And she has a talk show, apparently.
And they talked about how Jill and Joe write poetry for each other, which is remarkable.
Before or after they phone home.
Sorry, it was just too easy.
I had to do it.
I had to do it.
This is the interview that he did.
And he's done seven total interviews this year on television.
And they all had one thing in common.
You want to guess what it is?
I don't want to put you on the spot.
All right.
Because you know about producing, right?
You could do interviews two ways.
You could do it blank or you could do it blank.
Which way do you think he did it?
Easy or hard.
I would say he did it easy and with a leftist.
Right.
But do you think they were pre-taped or do you think it was live?
Oh, my God.
And it can never be live.
Nope.
Absolutely not.
They never are, right?
So even when he did 60 Minutes with Scott Pelley, and remember, he did it after they averted the rail strike.
And Scott Pelley, one of his tough questions was, you averted a rail strike.
How did you do it?
Right.
Mike Wallace, like that sound you heard is like, oh, there he is turning over his grave again.
Not to be confused with Chris Wallace in any way.
But the point is that 60 Minutes is always pre-taped.
It's called a package, right?
And then any interview that he has done has been a package.
And that is the one condition that they always insist on because let's say you need a cleanup on not only Aisle 5, 7, 11, 14, you could do it in the post-edit where if you're dealing with a friendly news organization, and let's face it, who isn't these days?
They take that out to make Biden look presidential.
So that was even with Drew Barrymore, it had to be a pre-tape in this situation.
I think if we take just a brief look, right, at the few moments that he's gone off script.
Yes.
He actually is like, oh, yeah.
Like when they said, what was it, like six months ago, they were talking about the border.
And he was like, yeah, it's terrible.
He's like, we need to do something about that.
And within an hour, they had KJP in the press corps saying, what the president meant to say is let more in.
Everything is fine.
The border is secure.
Yes.
Followed up by testimony from Maorkas.
KJP being, of course, cringe Jean-Pierre, right?
Yes.
Oh, green or cringe Jean-Pierre.
I haven't heard that yet.
Oh, yeah.
That's been floating around the, I'm telling you, it's somewhere on the internet.
I can't.
Very nice.
All right.
Nothing I say is original.
You have to understand that.
That was well played.
I'm going to hat tip you for right now.
Yeah.
That's what's amazing about all this.
Thank you, Linda.
I appreciate that.
Is that here we have this border and the president continues not to go despite, as we said, a national security risk.
Fentany killing 300 Americans per day.
It would be like you have a plane, right?
I just flew back from Florida recently.
It was a pretty big plane.
I think it was 7067.
There's probably about 300 people on it.
Let's say one of those crashed today.
What happens to the aviation industry?
You shut it down, right?
You say, what's going on?
300 people are dying per day when they don't have to.
That's fentanyl.
And that's what's coming across the border.
And this president, who at last check had a son, has a son, who had some abuse problems.
So at least on a personal level, you would think like maybe I should do something about this.
But as you said, he's given a piece of paper.
He does what he's told.
When he's told, do not go to the border, even when you, in that brief moment, you're kind of being honest.
You say, wow, that's a bad situation.
I guess I should go back down there.
It's exactly what he said.
He's not going to do it because he's not in control.
The question is, who is in control?
Is it Ron Clain, the chief of staff?
Is it Susan Rice, who I'll take Jerry Rice, Donna Rice, Ray Rice before I take Susan Rice?
All right, in any important position.
But here we are.
That's the thing.
We don't know who's running the country.
How did we get here exactly?
We're passing bills that we don't read.
We got a president who isn't in charge.
We're supposed to be the greatest country in the world, Linda.
What the hell's going on?
So interesting that you made that comment about fentanyl and the plane crashing every day.
Sarah Carter, who will be on later, she's doing this awesome podcast right now called The Dark Wars.
And, you know, one of the things that they talk about is fentanyl is touching everybody, whether we're talking about the 10-month-old who's sitting in a park in San Francisco or we're talking about a police officer who touches something in a car, slightly inhales this supersonic fentanyl, and they have to revive her with Narcan.
And the DEA and the CDC and the government have all put out statistics in the last year alone that say automobile and gun deaths combined are less than fentanyl deaths in the United States of America.
Yeah.
And yet we don't care.
And where does it come from?
Hmm.
Let's see.
I know it comes out.
Our two besties.
Right, exactly.
Mexico and China.
It comes through Mexico from China.
And it's completely and totally intentional.
You want to talk about, you know, COVID and what that did.
This is another version, except it's a slow drip, drip, drip as far as chemical warfare on this country.
China knows exactly what it's doing and it's tearing us apart from within.
No question about it.
Your number, we're taking your calls next.
800-941-Sean.
That's 800-941-7326.

Back with more in just a moment.
It is the Sean Hannity Show.

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 sass.
You're our kind of people.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.
The late George Michael.
Somebody lates, you know, I grew up with Michael Jackson, George Michael in the 80s.
That's him from Wham, actually.
It wasn't the solo stuff, but that's a shame that that guy had one hell of a voice.
Anyway, Joe Concha in for Sean Hannity, 800-941.
Sean is the number 800-941-7326.
So I'm scratching off all the colleges I can't send my kids to.
Now, granted, they're only 709, so I have a little time for this, but so many of them become so woke and so utterly ridiculous that I can't take it anymore.
So, for instance, Stanford University just put out a word guide of words they can't say anymore on campus.
They being students, they being faculty, whatever, right?
Banning words.
Where am I?
Beyond Yang, right?
So, now, for instance, harmful language, according to Stanford, which at last check, it's not Ivy, but it might as well be Ivy, right?
And a nice campus and a decent football team.
They used to be anyway.
And then obviously, you have the basketball team always very, very competitive, but you can't say the word brave or American anymore on the campus of Stanford University.
Can you believe this?
So, now my kids are stuck on to either Faber College, which doesn't exist because it's from Animal House, right?
South Central Louisiana, which is from the Water Boy, or Hamburger U.
Those are my choices at this point because everybody else is not doing the basic blocking and tackling high demand.
Back with Warner Month.
All right, are you tired of overpaying woke wireless companies?
How about this?
You get talk and text and blazing fast data for just 30 bucks a month.
Yep, on the same exact network, the same cell towers, the same 5G network as the big carriers like Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile.
And how's that for saying half the price?
Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy new year.
Hallelujah.
You could save money, especially in these tough economic times.
Look, that's what Pure Talk is all about.
It's a U.S.-based customer service team you'll be working with.
There is no better service in the industry, and it's a veteran-owned business.
It's simple to make the switch.
Just dial pound 250 on your cell, say the keyword, save now.
If you do it now, you'll save an additional 50% off your first month.
Same exact service, average family saving close to $1,000, some families saving much, much more.
Pound 250, keywords, save now from our friends at Pure Talk, and it will only take minutes of your time.
When news breaks, you get the inside story that no one else has.
And the behind-the-scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
And it's Joe Concha in for Sean Hannity.
I may have to pull an executive decision here.
All right.
Make an executive order, as it were.
All right.
I got a pen and a phone, or in this case, a pen and a microphone.
And from now on, for all music coming in and out of breaks, I will decide what we play.
I want a lot of Ronettes.
All right.
I want a lot of Nat King Cole.
I want a lot of Mariah Carey and a little Billy Squire.
All right.
And I mean it.
That's the order.
Thank you.
I'm assuming you'll be doing these a cappella.
Well, yeah.
Given the late nature of your requests, I look forward to your performances in and out of every break.
Lynn and I have been talking all morning about the show.
And of course, I bring this up at, let's see, 35 minutes in.
So that's.
Wonderfully timed as always.
Of course.
You look good, by the way.
I mean, you know, I know you've been working hard and everything, but you got a little glow to you, a little glow to Linda today.
What's going on?
Tis the season.
Ah, yes.
For Zima, apparently, which is right next to you right now.
Somebody's starting early once again.
I would drink during the show also.
It's the only thing that can actually make it somewhat absorbable.
Speaking of somebody who's easy to absorb, like a Zima for that matter, is Greg Jarrett.
He is Fox News' legal analyst.
I would say the best that is on there by far.
Certainly the one that's probably been on there the longest, I would think, and the host of the podcast, The Brief.
And I got to discuss, Greg, this strange, is one way to put it, extension by the Biden administration of Title 42 into next week.
I mean, what exactly is the administration trying to say in its brief about the border and the state of the nation to the Supreme Court where they say, we know things can get really bad.
Not that they're not bad already, of course, they're horrible.
But, you know, let's wait until after Christmas before we completely destroy the lives of our border agents, officials, and the country in general.
Go ahead, Greg.
Take it away.
The floor shares.
Joe, can't we just play Nat King Cole and be done with this silliness?
You got a good point.
We got a whole big library from that guy.
No question.
Yeah, I love Nat King Cole.
Look, what Joe Biden is asking the Supreme Court to do is to save him from himself.
I find it so incredibly ironic that here's a guy who decided to end Title 42, which creates a catastrophe out of chaos.
And suddenly, you know, he files a petition before the Supreme Court and says, well, I'm right about ending Title 42, but please don't do it now because we've got to get organized.
Well, he's had two years to get organized at the border, and he's done absolutely nothing.
And, you know, this is a guy who, I mean, his stupidity and incompetence knows no bounds.
Think of it this way: close to 6 million people have come into the United States illegally under his watch.
That's more people than several states combined.
It's more people than Chicago, the third largest city in America.
And there is no ability, especially for the border states, to absorb all of this.
And the burden on them is just unsustainable.
And, you know, Biden won't even go down to the border to look at the situation.
He's, you know, I've got more important things to do, having spent, you know, the vast majority of, you know, his weekends at his Delaware home, you know, long weekends, can't take a little time off and go down to the border.
You know, it's fecklessness, it's incompetence, and it's also, you know, disdain for the humanitarian crisis that has occurred under his watch.
And I just find it so mind-boggling that most Americans are not completely up in arms.
It's been a Republicans for the longest time, but now you actually have Democrats who are voicing concern.
Governor Gavin Newsom in California, obviously a border state, Kristen Sinema, another border state in Arizona.
And, you know, of course, the people that are there immediately, Henry Clayar, congressman who's a Democrat, has been railing against Biden.
Pay attention to this.
Do something about it.
He's done absolutely nothing.
And I find it so humorous, really.
I mean, it's laughable when I watch the interview of Greg Abbott, the Texas governor, by a liberal journalist who tried to suggest that, you know, Biden never invited people to come here, but it was Republicans who did it.
That is a complete lie.
I mean, we have played the clip on Fox News over the last 24 hours of Joe Biden during a presidential debate, inviting people to come across our southern border.
You know, bring your tired, you're poor.
We'll welcome you here.
And that's what they did.
And, Greg, let's be clear who that journalist is.
And that's, we're not talking about, you know, the joys, right?
Joy Reed or Joy Behar, you know, two of the more inappropriately named people with a microphone on their lapel.
We're talking about Martha Raditz, right?
The gal who cried the night Donald Trump won, from what I remember, in 2016 when it was announced.
And she went into that interview on a mission.
And it wasn't for the truth, Greg, in the name of journalism or getting the true story.
She went there to push a narrative to Greg, to Governor Abbott, right?
And it was a narrative that says that the crisis that isn't, it's a catastrophe now.
Let's face it, at the border, it's simply fear-mongering by Abbott and DeSantis and Trump that they kept talking about open borders.
Therefore, people in Mexico and Guatemala and Honduras and Cuba and Venezuela all hear that and say, oh, maybe we should come.
No, the reason why they were coming is because literally Joe Biden said during a primary debate in July of 2019, I want to say, that, quote, immediately surge the border, unquote, he told people in all those countries.
And then literally, there are photos, video of illegal migrants with t-shirts saying Biden, let us in.
So I'm pretty sure that that was the cue.
And Raditz did her audience such a disservice here.
And then we hear the same thing out of cringe Jean-Pierre, right?
Where she says, nope, this is actually Republicans' fault.
They don't want to meet us at the bargaining table as far as immigration.
No, it's a very easy negotiation.
Start building the wall again and reinstate, remain in Mexico and keep Title 42 up.
And you'll see the type of decrease that we need to in order to save our educational system.
And obviously, our healthcare system is going to be overwhelmed, Greg.
I guess my question is, and I guess this is more speculation than legal analysis on your part, but what is the motivation ultimately of the Biden administration?
Because they're polling in the 20s in terms of their handling of the border.
So this doesn't give them any political upside.
For the life of me, I can't understand why they're doing it because it has to go far beyond incompetence, right?
Well, yeah.
I mean, it is this sort of, you know, liberal progressive woke kumbaya.
Oh, everybody's welcome.
You know, it's the same approach they take to criminals.
Oh, you're just, you know, misunderstood.
And, you know, the 50th time you commit the same crime, you're still really misunderstood.
It's our fault as society that you turn to violent crime.
And, you know, we're to blame.
And we don't believe in prison.
You know, that's like caging animals.
And, you know, it's this same sort of woke mentality that drives these people.
And, you know, I think that the midterm elections would have been an opportunity for voters to make their voices heard about this.
But, you know, they simply didn't.
Now, I think most voters do understand that this is a crisis that's unparalleled taking place at our border.
And it's only going to get worse with the lifting of Title 42.
You're going to have millions and millions of more people coming in there.
But they didn't express their anger and disdain over Biden's policy with their votes.
And there were other reasons for that.
And I think that gave the green light to liberals and Democrats and Joe Biden.
Hey, we can do whatever we want.
There's no fallout for this politically.
And so, you know, Joe Biden is continuing to do this sort of thing.
I am somewhat hopeful.
It's going to be a tough thing for the U.S. Supreme Court to say to the 19 attorneys general that irreparable harm, we recognize that, but under the Constitution, immigration is left up to the federal government.
And so, you know, we'll wait and see.
I mean, maybe they can craft a way to keep Title 42 going.
But if they do not, I mean, you know, you've got 6 million people who've come into the U.S. already.
I mean, you can double.
that in pretty short order.
So, Greg, and we're talking to Greg Jarrett.
He is the author, by the way, an instant New York Times bestseller, Witch Hunt, the story of the greatest mass delusion in American political history.
I do want to talk about that in a second.
So you think ultimately Title 42 fails because federal government controls these things and the Supreme Court isn't going to start making up things as they go along and they're going to go based on the precedent.
Yeah, if they're strict constructionists, if they are, you know, going to maintain fidelity to the Constitution and its original intent, I just don't see them blocking the lifting of Title 42, which means that we're going to see millions and millions of people more.
I mean, and these people who want to come into the U.S. have been paying attention.
They know that Title 42 is about to be lifted, which is why you're seeing videotape after videotape on Fox News, but never on the other networks.
Until recently, you've actually been seeing some of it, of people massing at our southern borders.
So, you know, we'll wait and see what SCOTUS does, but I'm, you know, I'm not optimistic.
Believe it or not, Greg, and I almost had to do a double take in this regard when you talk about other networks not talking about this.
I mean, we have Fox News does Bill Melusian at the border every day, getting the story, particularly with drones where you just see the mass influx of people coming over.
And he's been one of the best reporters in the country in that regard and deserves every award that should come to him.
Of course, it will never happen given the people that decide these awards.
But let's play that MSNBC cut before, because I couldn't believe that this was on MSNBC.
But here you have a Democratic lawmaker talking to an MSNBC reporter.
And I have a feeling this reporter didn't see what was coming in terms of this lawmaker saying, please, please, President Biden, get the hell down here.
Cut whatever.
Go.
Washington needs to deal with immigration.
And they haven't since 1986.
That was the last comprehensive immigration reform program that existed in this country.
So my question is, I just don't see, and maybe I'm wrong.
I don't see the urgency.
I see the urgency of the NGOs.
I see the Red Cross.
The plane that brought me here was filled with Red Cross volunteers.
I see local officials here.
I see state border patrol over here.
I mean, National Guard.
I just don't see the urgency by the federal government.
Am I wrong?
I don't see, where's FEMA?
Where are the organizations?
Where are people just knowing that these are men, women, and children who are asking for asylum, the legal right to ask for asylum, whether they give it or not is separate.
But I don't see it.
Yeah.
So I share your feeling of frustration and the need for more urgency.
And I want to see that.
Starting with the White House, I would like to see more direct engagement.
Exactly.
Starting with the White House.
Lead by example.
If I got to hear one more time from a Kamala Harris who says, well, Republicans just aren't serious about immigration reform.
Oh, really, Ms. Vice President?
How many, Madam Vice President, how many lawmakers has you reached out to to begin these so-called negotiations?
It just doesn't happen.
But I want to pivot from this for a second, Greg, because I do want to talk more about Elon Musk and all the receipts that we're seeing now as far as, all right, shadow banning.
We always said that it existed, particularly with conservative accounts, and you were called a conspiracy thirst.
If you claim that, well, it turns out that's 100% true.
And now, obviously, I think the most telling thing is the FBI speaking on a regular basis, on a daily basis, with Twitter executives in terms of how to squash certain stories that always seem to go in one direction, which is quite remarkable.
So based on what you've seen, what happens next at Twitter, you think?
You know, I wrote a column a couple of weeks ago saying that Elon Musk deserves a medal for his honesty and transparency, something that one of his predecessors, Jack Dorsey, it seems alien to Dorsey.
And so I interviewed yesterday Michael Schellenberger, who is one of the four reporters who reviewed and published the Twitter files.
He talked to me about 150 FBI emails to the platform directing them to act as a proxy for the government, which is a clear violation of the First Amendment.
As many as 80 FBI agents assigned a surveillance and this censorship project.
And he said, you know, his review of the Twitter file shows the FBI and the intelligence community worked sedulously to discredit leaked information about Hunter Biden and his laptop before it was published.
And they knew that it was going to be published.
How did they know?
Well, they seized the laptop in December of 2019.
They were spying on Rudy Giuliani.
They knew he had a copy of it.
They knew he was trying to get it published.
And so they had gone to Twitter in advance and Facebook and other social media sites.
And according to Schellenberger, they sort of ran this psyops campaign in which they tried to brainwash Twitter into believing that it was Russian disinformation.
And you see reply emails from people like Yul Woff, you know, who's sort of the progressive proxy.
But there is no Russian disinformation.
We've checked it out.
There's no evidence that this is, you know, this looks like the genuine article.
Sure.
But he and others at the platform decided to censor it anyway and suppress any dissent to banish people and cancel accounts over the laptop.
And, you know, so this is, as I say, a clear violation of the First Amendment because it is government action using a surrogate for censorship.
Well, either way, Greg, when you look back at your books, so many things are being justified now just in terms of an overall fixed fights, right?
And what you talked about as far as Russia collusion and the great mass delusion.
And, you know, I know Greg's book came out a little while ago, but still, there's still time to buy it.
I'm looking at Amazon right now.
You can get this before Christmas.
It's called Witch on the Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History.
The kids say hello, Greg.
They've met you before, as has the wife.
And we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
And have a good one, man.
Enjoy.
Give them my best and Merry Christmas to you.

How's that sound?
God bless you.
I love Nat King Cole.
See, I got power over here.
I say you do.
Don't think, Mav.
Just do.
I think that's from Top Gun Maverick.
Anyway, how we're going off on a tangent here, I have no idea.
