Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
These toxic chemicals, this thing is getting worse and worse and worse.
This this train derailment in Ohio, at the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the small Ohio town carrying more toxic chemicals than initially reported.
East Palestine is what they call the tap the town.
Anyway, the derailment uh forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents before authorities conducted a controlled burn of the chemicals of the Norfolk uh Southern Railroad train cars, chemicals to stop the potential explosion.
I I mean there's been nothing but sickening side effects.
Uh we're not getting a full uh a full rundown in terms of the the it total impact on the economy, although there was an article out today saying, you know, there's as many as 3,500 dead fish and and many other animals falling sick, and we don't know the impact that people may have had in terms of human suffering and in human impact health-wise, as it relates to all of this.
Um, and and yet we have a transportation secretary didn't even bother uh to go down and and take a look and get his hands dirty and get and and find out and get answers for the people that have been exposed to these burning chemicals all over the place.
You know, but again, this is the same P. Buddha judge who thinks he's qualified to be transportation secretary.
I don't know, because he couldn't, he was known as Pothole Pete in in South Bend, Indiana for not fixing potholes.
Uh listener was great qualifications to be transportation secretary.
We've also had a personal love of transportation ever since childhood.
More than once as a college student, I would convince a friend to travel nearly a thousand miles back to Indiana with me on Amtrak.
Though I know that in this administration, I will at best aspire to be the second biggest uh train enthusiast around.
I spent a spring break in graduate school aboard a cargo ship studying there.
That that that's the extent of your experience.
Wow, pretty pathetic.
Anyway, rather than being on the ground with people in Ohio to get to the bottom line uh and and how widespread is the potential environmental disaster here.
He's nowhere to be found.
What about the chemicals that are in the air killing uh fish and animals falling sick and dying near this hellish Ohio train derailment site?
Buddha judge made no mention of the Ohio train derailment while speaking at this conference yesterday morning.
Uh, but again, he did have Time to find out and say that too many white people work in construction.
Uh as if, you know, what what does that have to do with his job anyway?
Putting all of that aside.
Anyway, uh joining us now is uh Diana uh Furchgot Roth is with us, and she is the heritage director for the Center for Energy, Climate and Environment and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Research and Technology at the Department of Transportation, currently writing a story on how pipelines are safer than rail transport for liquids.
Uh and this derailment is yet another example why, but this is not the only derailment in recent weeks.
We had two more yesterday.
Uh anyway, Diana, thank you for being with us.
It's great to be with you, Sean.
Thanks so much for having me on your show.
Give me your initial analysis based on on published reports about how bad this is.
Well, uh this the uh chemicals are probably going to vanish into the air.
But what's most most important to note is that there are multiple federal agencies trying to slow down the approval of pipelines.
And pipelines are the safest way to carry oil and natural gas to where they need to go.
The chemicals on this train could not have been transported uh by pipeline.
But there's uh many uh many millions of gallons of oil and natural gas that do need to be transported by pipeline, Sean.
And they should be transported by pipeline because if they're not in pipelines, they're on trains and trucks.
And with a pipeline, the container stays still and the product moves through the container.
But with truck and train, the container moves, and then the liquid stays within the truck and trade.
And it's far safer to have the container, the pipeline stay stable and not move, and have the natural gas and oil move through it so that there are no accidents in towns.
So I don't disagree at all.
Uh if we would have allowed the Keystone XL pipeline to be finished, we would be daily importing 900,000 barrels of Canadian crude oil into America every single day, and it would be done safely.
Um it was interesting that at the time that Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, he was giving a waiver for Vladimir Putin to move forward with his own Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Did that make any sense to you?
It made absolutely no sense, and it makes no sense now that the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, the Interior Department, the Office of Control of the Currency, they are all trying to slow down the approval of pipelines.
Well, okay, so without the pipelines, we we we don't have the ability to safely transport these things, and and that means you're saying if we do it by rail or any other mode of transportation that it's unsafe, correct?
Well, road and rail are still safe, but they are less safe than pipelines.
For example, there was an accident about ten years ago in Lac Megantique in Canada, where seventy-three rail cars carrying crude oil uh slid back into the town.
There was a fire which claimed 47 lives.
Yeah.
Much safer having that oil underground.
And the price differential between Europe and Asia in terms of natural gas prices is so large.
It's about twenty dollars per million British thermal units in Europe and Asia.
It's about two dollars and fifty cents here in the United States.
We need to be exporting our natural gas to Europe and Asia to fill the hole that Russia left, and also to increase our geopolitical influence in these areas, Sean.
How long would it take to get a pipeline so we could ship our natural gas across the pond?
There are about 15 pipelines waiting for approval.
And these pipelines could be completed within a year if they were approved.
We already do ship uh across the pond, but we could be shipping even more.
And plus what we need to do is get our oil and natural gas from the middle of the country where it is produced out to the coasts where it can be taken by tank or uh undersea pipeline to where it needs to go.
Let me go back to the danger of doing all of this by rail, and let me use the Ohio case as an example because the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that this chemical spill uh and this uh this this burn that they got involved with of these chemicals,
um uh the result Is uh it killed an estimated three thousand five hundred small fish across seven and a half miles of streams as of Wednesday of last week.
And um now one resident in North Lima uh Ohio, more than ten miles away from the incident, told uh one of the local TV stations that her five hens and rooster died uh suddenly last Tuesday.
There's reports that you know, foxes have taken ill and some are dying there, and other animals are dying.
You know, you said this would eventually dissipate, but you know, what is the long-term uh negative impact on on the environment in terms of air and water, and when will people safely be able to, if ever, get back to their homes?
What we need to do is prevent these accidents with oil and natural gas happening.
I'm not a scientist, so I don't know the long time effect, but I do know we can have vast economic benefits if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approves more pipelines so that toxic substances do not have to be carried by road and rail.
That I agree with.
All right, uh Diana uh Firch uh Gotroth, uh thank you so much for being with us.
We appreciate it.
800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Let's get to our phones.
Uh let's say hi to Robert is in Ohio, close to the area where this train derailment took place.
What's up, Robert?
How are you?
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Um relatively new listener.
I really appreciate your voice um in all that you do.
I wanted to make a mention, though, I guess, um, in regards to the train incident, uh, what they were trying at right after the incident with that vinyl chloride was burning.
And so what when they did that controlled explosion, the reason that they did that was because those the those uh train cars were heating up so much they were afraid that the train car was gonna explode and it would have been like shooting a uh a bomb, a shrapnel would have just been spread all over the area.
So it's difficult to say, you know, if they made that right decision, you know, versus you having all the toxic chemicals being spewed into the environment, but I kind of think that may have been a right call.
Um I will say at least Governor DeWine showed up, you know, for everything, and uh Representative Bill Johnson is scheduled uh to pay a visit.
Um East Palestine is going to be holding a town hall meeting tomorrow at seven o'clock for the community and those people who have been affected, but um it's certainly devastating, and and with the streams and creeks affected and animals, you know, the this is there's farmland out there, and and uh I was raised on a farm, and we had a creek that runs through our my father's farm, and we had sheep, and those animals they that's their water source.
And uh it's gonna be devastating for those people with livestock.
Well, that's my biggest concern.
What are the long-term impacts for everybody here?
Uh you're right about livestock, you're right about farming.
You're you're right on every count.
Thirty, five hundred fish, there's a lot of fish to die.
That means you had suffer severe toxicity to the to the water um over time.
Does it begin to dissipate?
Yes.
Does it totally get removed?
I don't know.
I'm not a I'm not a chemist.
I have no idea.
Uh, but I don't even think they they have the answers even at this late date.
Uh what's frustrating to me is there's been no sense of urgency from our transportation secretary or anybody else in terms of you know what it is that they they should be doing.
I mean, you know, w why is Pete But joking about balloons and and white construction workers yesterday?
Uh and and now EPA has come out, they have found four additional chemicals.
I saw that, yeah.
You know, it's not just the vinyl chloride.
There's these other chemicals that they have found now, and and uh it's it's devastating.
Uh and and how far is the reach going to ultimately be?
In other words, these streams, do they, you know, do they move into other towns and and other parts of uh Ohio, uh maybe other parts of uh Pennsylvania as well.
You know, what about the air airflow?
What does it do to the people that are breathing in this air?
Um pretty dangerous.
Um anyway, we'll we'll follow that meeting tomorrow and see where it goes.
We appreciate you uh calling in and letting uh letting us know, Robert, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, Sean, just on another note, uh, in regards to this is it goes out to Linda, how you kind of tease her about her accent.
Um, can you say hammer for me?
You want me to say hammer?
I like the way you say hammer.
You have that little accent, Sean.
Well, I got a little one in another that's not like talk and coffee and Sean and uh first of all, a little bit different.
How do you how do you say it again?
How do you say that word, Sean?
What hammer?
Hammer.
Hammer, yeah.
You know what it is?
He actually does have an accent.
I think for a very long time now, he has been working to get rid of it.
And um, it's pretty funny because every once in a while, especially like if he's angry, it just he can't help it at all comes out.
That that long island just can't find it.
It's when I'm tired is when it comes out.
That's true too, when you're tired, which I don't know, that's like all the time, so maybe that's I don't know.
I never stop working, so I'm almost got a little bit of tired in there like everyone else.
However, Sean is not however, first of all, you know, you've got to admit it's a pretty Linda has a pretty thick accent.
Anyway, my friend, God bless you.

Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?

I'm back to our busy phones, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
We have one minute.
We'll give it to Bill in Montana.
What's up, Bill?
Hey, Sean, I'm up here in Big Fork, and uh just wanted to answer your question from yesterday.
You uh mentioned the fact that you were kind of curious about the uh loss of sensors or some of our aircraft had up there trying to get these balloons.
Well, I'm just an old Air Force vet, and I did three tours in Southeast Asia during the war.
And Michaelfield was electronic countermeasures, and that's exactly what it is.
And it's scary the fact that uh people are flying these balloons over our territory.
Uh, I worked in electronic countermeasures ECM for my entire career, and uh uh we had some really sophisticated stuff and fifty years ago.
And the things have changed a lot since then.
But I'll tell you what, if those people are using electronic countermeasures to jam our aircraft, I'm really seriously uh concerned about what's gonna happen in the future.
Well, I'll give you three quick scenarios.
Jamming our aircraft and EMP and electromagnetic pulse incident could be a potential.
Uh bioweapon attack could be a potential.
The fact that this these balloons are going undetected at 60, 65,000 uh feet up in the air, uh, should scare everybody.
Uh it showed and exposed the vulnerability that I I never thought we ever would have as a country, ever.
And the fact that it took so of somebody in Montana, a fellow Montanan of uh to find this and tell the the world about it and the country about it, is even more frightening.
And having no knowledge about what the other three, you know, objects that we shot out of the sky or are, you know, what were they?
We don't even know.
Where did they come from?
We don't know.
They're not telling us a thing.
And Biden says everything's fine.
It's not a big deal.
It's not a massive breach, he said.
Anyway, Bill, appreciate it, buddy.
800 941 Sean.
All right, Valentine's Day today, and uh look, we want to share a little trivia with you.
Did you know that before a baby is born that their heart will beat approximately 54 million times?
Well, that's just you know, pure science.
Anyway, happy Valentine's Day.
Our friends at Pre-Born.
They have made it their mission to use the science of modern ultrasound, which is which is so sophisticated, you know, say compared to when I have my kids, they now have 4D imaging, and you can see fingers and toes and facial features and and absolutely hear the heartbeat.
Anyway, the science of ultrasounds are giving unexpected mothers, maybe maybe people that are on the fence, whether they should, you know, follow through and and give birth to this child or have an abortion, they're giving them a chance to actually, you know, learn what it is that is growing within them, the majesty of what's growing within them.
Uh, the majority of time after they hear that heartbeat and they see those images, they do choose life.
Now it costs 28 bucks for every one of these ultrasounds, 140 bucks.
You can spots Sponsor five ultrasounds.
Pre-born doesn't get a penny from the federal government.
It is totally, completely funded by people that believe in the sanctity of life.
You have to, you can donate by dialing pound 250.
Say the keyword baby.
Pound 250, keyword baby.
Or just go to the very secure website of preborn.com slash Sean.
That's pre-born.com slash Sean and do your part.
And who knows?
You may be saving a life today.
You're gonna love this.
The US military shot an object over Canada.
And here's her explanation.
Why is uh why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
Because it's part of uh NORAD.
There is uh the NORAD is part of like a part of uh it's a it's uh what you call a coalition, a course for a pack exactly.
And so that's why we were able to do that again.
We didn't do it on our own.
We did it in in uh in uh it clearly in in in step with uh Canadia We did it in Step with Canadia.
Welcome to Canadia, our our neighbors to the north.
Mark in Texas.
Mark, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
What's up, man?
How are you?
Howdy, Sean.
How you doing, brother?
I'm good, man.
What's going on?
Just wanted to tell you that what a great Super Bowl, very patriotic.
We had some great Christian aspects, and we're just so proud to be an American.
And I literally replayed the old Johnny Cash song for my family.
Um that was a 1974, I think, rendition of uh of the flag, and it just I had tears in my eyes, man.
It was just so I I thought that was awesome.
I mean, I saw more patriotism this year, didn't it feel like than in past years?
It was indeed.
I don't know what to promote it.
Maybe we're behind some of the Catholic stuff, and we'll move forward.
Uh love, forget, forget move on.
But a great, great Super Bowl with the patriotism, and we so appreciated Johnny Cash and uh Well, I'll give you I'll give you two other things that's that stood out to me is people, including the the Eagles coach crying during the national anthem.
Uh I don't know if you caught um Mahomes was in the end zone, took a knee, and was clearly praying.
Uh that happened.
Uh I know a lot of people focused on why why do we have we if we're one nation under God indivisible, we have one national anthem.
I know there were people wondering why they played uh this other national anthem.
Yeah.
Um I think that was you know, to me, I don't think I think we should just unite behind one anthem.
We're one country, we're one people.
Oh man, he was he rocked that national anthem.
That was awesome.
Yes, it just gives me give me two bumps thinking about it.
Good job.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
I had a good time.
You know, I did something very unusual.
I watched the entire game alone.
I didn't even tell you that, Linda, did I?
You didn't.
Why did you do that?
Is that interesting?
Well, he was he he was been working and and he doesn't live in the same state as you know.
Uh I know, but I just figured maybe you guys would watch the game together.
You know, I mean, I know how to do it.
Well, we've been to many Super Bowls.
He oh, he be he was he was at a sports bar with his friends and and girlfriend and all that sort of thing.
So all right.
Okay.
So why'd you watch it alone though?
You didn't have a single friend.
I can name a couple of good friends of yours that love football as much as you do.
Well, Uncle James, sweet baby James lives with me with my sister, so I mean they watched it briefly with me, but they could care less about the Super Bowl.
I think next year next year you have Linda over, and we can tape it so that you could teach her about football.
I could give you a play by play.
Okay, you know, crossing the plane.
No, you know what I don't want to do it during a football game is talk.
Talk.
And Linda can provide all the snacks.
Now I'll do all the snacks and I'll do the commentary.
Okay, you mean the air air-dried uh chicken wings and the hot the air fried uh you're welcome.
It's a wonderful thing, and you're welcome.
Now listen, I stuck to my diet.
I didn't really go crazy during the super.
I heard you had a bacon wrap.
How exciting.
I did.
Uh bacon lettuce wrap.
I made it myself.
That's not terrible.
No, it was actually very good.
I just don't know why the Super Bowl was the day you decided to adhere to your diet.
That's like people who tried to get skinny right before Christmas.
I'm like, why?
No, I I've I I adhere to my diet every possible day I can, and unless it's a cheat day and then I go crazy.
Okay.
I would have thought Super Bowl would have been a cheat day, but anyhow.
You know what?
I I I like being alone.
I know that may sound strange to a lot of people.
I don't need a crowd around me all the time.
Well, you typically do have a crowd around you, so I guess I could see how that could be rewarding to be honest.
Actually, my sister Teddy has a pretty interesting phrase.
If you're lonely when you're alone, you're bad company.
I mean, listen, if you're not shaking hands with the air like Joe Biden, you're already a step up in everybody else's books.
I think you're fine.
Yeah, exactly.
Uh Bill in Florida.
Bill, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for having me on.
Two quick points.
Yes, sir.
For putting on, I think the best Super Bowl ever.
Uh they should take over presenting the Super Bowl every year.
I felt like they really worked hard to bring America together.
Everything was positive, upbeat, and uh, as your last caller said, it was one of the most patriotic atmospheres I've ever seen.
And the important thing was there was no wokeness.
I was just amazed.
You we're almost uh accustomed to hearing these cheap shots against groups, and there was none of that.
The only negative aspect I heard the whole day was AOC's mocking the Super Bowl ad of hope and love found in Jesus.
As a Christian, I'm deeply offended that she would compare hope and love.
By the way, I do you really care what AOC thinks about anything?
Because I don't.
Well, yes, I do for this reason.
I want this emphasized to American Democrats that are really decent people.
I mean, there's millions and millions of decent Democrats that if they heard that and they listen to that, they'd say, why am I supporting party leaders that that compare Jesus to fascism?
We need to drive this home.
The American Democratic Party of 30 years ago is gone.
And there's a lot of diehard Democrats that vote only because it was talked about in the kitchen table in the last 50 years.
They need to understand she's the new voice of the Democratic Party.
You didn't see any Democrat leader come out and argue against what she said.
Not a one.
This is not the party of Scoop Jackson, even Joel Lieberman.
Um it has become a radicalized, you know, new green deal, radical socialist, cultist agenda driven party.
And they want to radically alter, you know, America into something that would be unrecognizable to the rest of us.
Anyway, Bill, good call, my friend.
Glad you're out there.
Don California.
Don, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, hi, Sean.
Uh this whole balloon business, uh I look at it as these are the American people skies, they're not Biden skies, they're not the military skies.
And for uh the American people not to be informed that an airship the size of the good year blimp was over our heads, uh, we don't know it till a citizen with his naked eye looks up and says, What the heck is that?
It's inexcusable.
And and it wasn't through a blind spot, Sean.
How come all of a sudden they're spotting them every time they they turn around?
They've gotten like eight of them now.
All of a sudden they can see them once the light was showing on this.
And uh a previous caller of your Sean brought it up.
This thing was ten to twenty times the size of an actual weather balloon.
It wasn't a weather balloon.
Who knows what this thing was up to?
For all we know, it might be peeing the newest version of the China virus on our heads.
Hey, listen, it could have been a bioweapons attack, it could have been an EMT attack.
Uh, you know, it it could have been a lot of things.
And you know, we still have not gotten any information at all whatsoever uh in terms of what the other three um have to do with any of this.
I mean, I I'd like to know what you know, what were the other three?
I items shot down.
They they're not even saying it's a balloon, they're not saying anything about it.
Um now the for days they let it hang out there that it might be uh a UFO.
I mean, serious?
Listen, do I doubt that there's a possibility there could be UFOs?
No.
But uh, you know, if that's if you don't know what it is, why don't you know what it is?
They should have known what it is.
Well, Sean, This should have been a shoot first, ask questions later deal in the first place.
But I mean, how how is it that we're not identifying what it is that we're even shooting down, or they've identified it and they're not telling us?
That's even worse.
I don't I don't know.
Where's our technology?
Where is our vaunted uh military intelligence?
Where it wh how come it disappears from the from the the uh the battlefield all of a sudden like it does.
This is just ridiculous, Sean.
I can't s I just don't understand what why yeah, and then they lie to us.
This is a weather balloon.
It's not a weather balloon, it's a giant airship that steers itself.
This is not a weather balloon, Sean.
No, this was a spying apparatus, and we we do need answers.
We shot down four unidentified flying objects over US airspace in eight days.
What were the other three?
Why are we allowing this to happen?
Why didn't they why did they wait all those days before they even told us or confirmed to us uh that indeed it it was flying over American airspace?
Why didn't they take it down when they first saw the first one over Alaska, which is what they should have done?
Well, they did they claim that they didn't want to hurt you know, people on the ground, but then we discovered the other three, they had no problem shooting o uh over airspace where people were down below.
So uh, you know what?
None of what they say is consistent or believable.
Can I say something real fast, Sean?
Yes, sir.
One thing I really like a New Yorker to say is thirty third and third street.
Thirty-third and third street.
Why?
Well, you don't have the I guess it's a Brooklyn accent.
They say the the Teditoid and Toyed Street.
Uh Linda, give it a shot.
I don't know, man.
Sounds like some bugs money stuff right there.
I don't even think I say that.
Go ahead, give it a shot.
Let's hear it.
Thirty-third and third.
It's not thirty-third and third.
I get what he's saying.
All right, man, that's not that bad.
Yeah, because you're trying your best to minimize it.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Chris, Georgia next Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Chris?
Hello, Sean.
Mega Ditto's from El Paso.
Well, thank you.
That's a great honor.
We miss our dear friend Rush.
What's going on, sir?
Well, sir, um, I just want to know, uh, hey, why don't you ever talk nice about your workers that work there with you?
I do I never hear you say anything nice about any of them ever.
Oh, why are you sucking up to my staff is the bigger question.
What do you want me to do?
You want me to say, oh, uh uh sweet baby James, you're the best.
Linda, you're the best.
Katie, you know, actually I can you're the best.
JC Owen, you're the best.
Sean.
I I can defend you actually.
You've been saying some nice things about James and his improvement and his uh in his shooting and how good he is.
You've been talking him up.
Well, I point out your improvement from the No, no, I would say you bash me on the regular on that and you take great joy in it, so I wouldn't use me as a reference here.
It doesn't help your argument.
However, you have been supporting James.
Chris, why do you think uh we're just having a little bit of fun on the program?
I mean I think it's hilarious personally.
I love it.
But you never go out of your way and do stuff for them like, all right, a couple months ago, Katie got this answer right about how many rats are in Chicago and or what city has the most rats, and she said Chicago.
Why don't you guys go back and put her dance on your website and you know give her the the credit that is due to Katie to her dance?
What dance?
Dance, uh yeah, exactly.
What dance?
Katie, you dancing?
What's going on, Katie?
I have no idea what's going on right now.
Katie's got another side job.
She's doing a little dancing.
A couple of months ago, Sean, you had said, all right, what city has the most rats of all the cities in America?
And after a couple after about a minute, Katie got it right.
She said Chicago.
Well, next thing you know, Katie's doing a dance back there.
You guys never posted it online.
You're right.
You know what?
Katie is not only a connoisseur in rat knowledge, but she is an active dancer in the studio and we should talk about that more.
Absolutely.
We can barely get Katie to crack a mic and say hello.
She's so shy, doesn't want to be on the radio.
Never mind being on video.
All right, Katie, if you want to if you want to produce a video and and do your dance, we'll we'll post it on Anthony.
Never happen.
And but wait a minute, but I do say nice things about my staff.
I talk I as a matter of fact, yesterday I did my cracker jack staff came up with this research.
Um I'm ta I was complimenting them.
You know, the what the other way I comp I I like to just say thank you.
I think words are words and a and deeds are deeds.
And, you know, I make sure everyone gets their paycheck every week and a nice bonus every year.
My way of saying thank you.
I appreciate the good job you're doing.
I mean, it's supposed to sit here and suck up to them all day long.
You know how else you're nice to me when you go to break.
It's my favorite thing in the world.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
It's time.
So tonight on Hannity, uh, Sarah Carter is going to be reporting from East Palestine.
You know, the extent of this this derailing on the environment, but not really getting the answers that I think most people deserve.
Uh, Sarah Carter's on the ground.
Uh, this is one of the reports.
We now know three more chemicals that were on board the Norfolk Southern train that derailed here in East Palestine just over a week ago.
And we're being told that some of those chemicals are dangerous.
We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we can get a railroad open.
All right, so we'll have uh Sarah Carter tonight on that on Hannity.
First want to remind you tough economic times means you got to do everything you can do in your power to save money.
One way everybody can save a lot of money without sacrificing service.
One IOTA is switching to my cell phone company, and that's Pure Talk.
Uh, it is the no contract wireless company.
You don't have to sign a contract.
And the great thing about Pure Talk is you get the same exact cell towers, same 5G network as ATT, Verizon and T Mobile every month, uh, except you're paying about half the price.
Uh, the great thing also about Pure Talk is the average family saving close to a thousand dollars a year for the exact same service.
You have the same number of coverage bars, many families saving much more.
You have their 100% satisfaction money back guarantee.
So if you don't love Pure Talk, guess what?
You'll get your money back, no questions asked, but you're gonna love it because it's the exact same service at half the cost, and the transfer only takes a couple of minutes of your time.
Just dial pound 250 on your cell phone, say the keyword save now, and do it now.
You save an additional 50% off your first month.
That's pound 250.
Keywords save now, money in your pocket for the exact same service.
In these tough economic times, that's just smart.
Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
As I said, we will be in East Palestine tonight.
We'll get an update on the ground after this uh train derailment.
Sarah Carter will join us.
Marjorie Taylor Green will be on with us.
We have an update on the investigation into all things Biden family syndicate with Congressman James Comer.
We have a report with the Daily Mail.
We'll tell you about uh with reporter Josh Boschwell.
Josh Hawley will join us, and Joe Concha, 90 Eastern Say D VR, Hannity on Fox.
See it tonight, back here tomorrow.
