Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Alright, news roundup information overload hour on this Friday, 800-941 Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls coming up straight ahead.
We have more follow through after, you know, Mayor Pothole Pete finally made his way to East Palestine in Ohio yesterday.
And he was confronted by many people on the ground.
Probably the dumbest thing that I saw is him wearing his dress shoes.
I don't know.
I've been on too many construction sites in my life to know that you probably want to put on your boots if you even have a pair.
But I guess he probably doesn't have one.
Anyway, here's uh him being confronted.
Uh the American public doesn't seem to be very confident in your ability to do your job.
Will you be resigning anytime soon?
I'm not here for politics.
I'm here to make sure the community can get what they need.
Will you apologize?
I want to be able to do that.
For the slow response, taking your time.
What do you say to residents who say you're too little today?
Well, we'll uh say that we're with residents right now.
We're gonna be here before as we were in the first hour.
What I tried to do was balance two things.
My desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground, which is uh uh how I am uh generally wired to act, and my desire to follow the norm of transportation secretaries.
Follow the norm doesn't mean when you have a controlled chemical burn that's that's resulting in dead fish, dead animals, and and people with health conditions.
Uh following the norm doesn't mean you stay away for three weeks.
Uh Michael Barish is with us, and he's with uh Barisha McCarey representing more than 35,000 911 responders and survivors.
Uh we've talked at length about the long-term health problems of people that were down to ground zero.
I remember myself being down there broadcasting in the days after 9-11, and I could tell you for days and days and probably weeks, I don't recall.
Uh, I remember this ash flying all over like it was snowing outside.
Uh but unfortunately those people that were at ground zero and trying to do the rescue and recovery effort uh ended up getting a lot of health problems.
Uh Michael, welcome to the program.
Thanks for being with us.
Sean, thanks for having me, but I gotta tell you it wasn't just the first responders who've had health problems.
It was the 300,000 office workers, the 50,000 students and teachers, and the many downtown residents, thousands of them, who were assured by the EPA.
Remember when Christine Todd Whitman assured us the air is safe to breathe.
I do remember that.
But I could tell you from my own experience, Michael.
I remember when I went down there to broadcast, uh, I knew damn well it wasn't safe for me to be there in terms of my lungs and my health, etc.
But I'm I made a decision.
My decision was I have a job to do and I'm gonna do it.
But you know, those people that were telling uh people in New York and New Jersey that were down to ground zero, lived down there that it was safe, I I mean, just it's it was snowing ash.
You can't tell me inhaling s you know ash is good for your lungs.
It's not.
I know listen my office is two blocks away at uh on Park Place and when we heard Todd Whitman say the air is safe to breathe, we thought we were doing our duty as Americans and we came back, even though those buildings were on fire for ninety nine days.
And when I heard last you know two weeks ago the the EPA say the air is safe, shivers went down my spine.
What a deja vu as Yogi Berra would say all over again because people have to know this is not safe for them to be in this area because there's the water has been infected, there's stuff in the air and the scientists and I don't trust the EPA, excuse me, but I didn't By the way, I don't trust them either and I don't believe a word they're saying.
Right, you know so I represented Detective James Zedroga for whom Congress named uh the Zadroga Health and Compensation Act they created the Free World Trade Center Health Program, which is what I'd like to see happen here by the way, and the victim compensation fund.
When they did the autopsy of Jimmy Zedroga in two thousand and six he died of pulmonary fibrosis at the age of thirty-four.
They found ground glass in his lungs, which obviously we're not going to find here ever, but they also found chromium, lead, benzene.
These are all known carcinogens after being assured the air is safe.
And by the way, yes, Sean, you made a decision to do your job like I made a decision to do my job and be a lawyer.
Um but you know the kids at Stuyvitson high school at the other twenty schools in Lower Manhattan, they just did what their parents told them to do.
You know, we have to stop just believing politicians.
We have to stop believing the EPA administrators who frankly aren't scientists.
We should leave it up to the scientists here because I fear we're gonna see an explosion.
Yeah but the see when you say scientists you got to be a little more specific than that.
Because the government has their scientists that have a political agenda.
I'm talking about objective scientists did you see the video of Senator J.D. Vance and he went to where some of the the the fish had died in a stream and he just took a stick and he kind of shook the water a little bit and up percolating up comes this like what looked like an oil slick of slime right clearly from the chemicals that had been dispersed into the air and clearly had impacted that stream.
Look we learned tr from the if we learned nothing else from the World Trade Center we now know that nine eleven didn't end on nine eleven and after this chemical spill out in Ohio it didn't end because the EPA said the air is now safe the water safe to drink.
It made me sick to watch that photo op of the politicians drinking water.
Let me tell you something I wouldn't let anybody let alone a child drink the water in Ohio and you know that that smoke flew all the way over Pennsylvania into western New York.
We need to have independent scientists not who work for the government not who work for the railroad and not who work frankly for the law firms that have been like flooding this area to sign up cases.
Right and that's why I encourage Congress.
So I I ask you this families now are they're facing a really tough dilemma two thirds of Americans leading up to this because of the Biden economic and energy policies are living paycheck to paycheck.
Many are tapping into their pensions because they can't make ends meet many are going you know paying things on their credit card and and building up credit card debt and so now they're stuck with this position.
They're being told that it's safe and they know deep in their heart that it probably isn't and many are headed home because they don't have a plan B. They can't afford a plan B which means that they've got to go back to the neighborhood back to the home and that means the air is what it really is and the water is what it really is and the danger is what it really is and they don't know but yet they're being told with certainty that it's safe and I don't believe it.
I don't believe it either the government should do the right thing the federal government, the Ohio government create these camps uh with tents let the Red Cross spearhead this and get them out of Dodge so that they can we can bring in independent people who we trust because we know in five or ten or fifteen years look it took NIOS ten years before the sixty eight cancers now linked to the World Trade Center toxins were considered presumed linked to exposure to the World Trade Center
dust.
That's probably how long it'll take.
But we know that blood cancers, the latency period of blood cancers is only eight months.
You have to protect yourselves, protect your families.
I know I listen, my heart breaks for these people who don't have the money.
And let's keep politics out of it, Sean.
I know you've got a political show, and you're trying to, you know, hit the government.
I'm being fair and straight here.
When I say I'm wait a minute, I'm not playing politics, but the but there are people that are supposed to be in charge here.
And and the person that's the president is Joe Biden, and Joe Biden decided to go to Kiev and not to East Palestine.
Pete Buddha judge waited weeks, uh, and now we have people in the government, uh, Joe's government telling us it's safe.
Sorry, but that's political because they they they're the ones right now that have the power that are telling the people of East Palestine something that I don't believe is true.
You know what?
Great conversation we're having with all due respect to Boudej and Biden.
They aren't scientists.
There's nothing that they could do helpful at this point.
There'll be plenty of time for blame to you're wrong.
What they should be doing is saying exactly what you're saying.
Bring in independent scientists and make a determination of full determination what water's safe, what water's not safe.
Is any water safe?
Is the air safe?
Is it secure?
Is it livable?
Uh what are the possible long-term impacts if you go back too early?
Uh they should be they should be the ones already planning uh to build the the ten cities or you know, alternate locations where people can live in the interim until things are better for them to go back to their homes.
So it does have to do with politics.
The people in power have an obligation to do their freaking job.
Sadly, the people in power today didn't learn the lessons of Bush and Christine Todd Whitman.
All they wanted to do was assure Americans that everything's safe.
Go back to work, go back to school, reopen Wall Street.
They treat us like children, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, show a little respect for Americans and tell us Just show the people of East Palestine that it's safe.
Give us a determination.
Is it safe?
Is it not safe?
Is the water safe to drink or is it not safe to drink?
If it's not safe to drink, is the air safe enough to breathe?
Because you can bring in water, you can, you know, from other places.
They we can get water for them to drink.
We can we can find alternatives.
You can't find an alternative for the air that you breathe.
And that's why you have to stay out of the area at ten mile radius, I would suggest, until independent, not working for the railroad, not working for the EPA.
Come in and assure us.
And until then, do what you can.
Call your friends, call your neighbors, and say, Can I stay with you until this is clear?
You and I are on the same page here.
I'm just saying it doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, this air was No, what matters is that the people in power now happen to be Democrat, and I'm demanding that they do the very things you're saying.
Right, and they didn't learn the lessons of Bush from twenty-one years ago, and that's what's so scary to me.
I don't remember the was it's Christy Todd Whitman at the EPA that said the air was safe.
Absolutely.
I do remember that, and I do remember not believing it then.
Well, you were smarter because but look, you were still down there, but you made an educated choice, and I hope you uh I it was snowing dust and debris.
I mean snowing.
Yeah.
I mean I was in an upper floor, uh overlooking uh you know, ground zero, and it was snowing on the upper floor.
What was it snowing?
It wasn't snow, it was dust and debris that was floating, and I don't know how many weeks that went on, but it was happening every day that I was down there.
Yeah, the buildings were on fire for 99 days, and the cleanup took eight months.
I only had a small office of fifteen people at the time.
My secretary Liana died of breast cancer, my paralegal dentist died of kidney cancer, both at the age of forty-seven.
I'm a prostate cancer survivor.
My secretary Barbara has lymphoma.
I mean, the small office, half the people have cancer or who have died.
I not a day goes by, Sean, without two of my 9-11 clock.
Well, let me Ask you a question.
Why did you stay?
Because I was doing my duty that the president at the time, President Bush said, come back to work.
Let's show our enemies we're resilient and we are strong.
And I believed the EPA when they said it was safe, even though the buildings were on fire.
Quick break more with Michael Barrish on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls this Friday, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Uncovering evil and defending the truth.
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, discussing the fallout environmentally in East Palestine with Michael Barish.
He's with Barish and McCarry, represented 35,000 911 first responders and survivors.
Now there was a way to have workers at the site working, but that would have required top sophisticated uh respiratory equipment for anybody that went down there.
They didn't do that either.
Look, I could tell you I made a mistake once when I was a kid.
I used to spray paint my own cars, and I once used one of those those horrific white masks instead of a real respirator, and I used a paint called Imeron, and I painted an old black van that I had, and my lungs burned for like three months afterwards because of the chemical reaction of the paint.
I should not have been painting with that inferior mask that I was using.
Uh, once had a shot of my lungs, and they said you have scarring on your lungs.
I'm like, yeah, probably happened when I painted that truck.
Yeah, but look how cool you look driving that cool that truck down the neighborhood.
But you asked me why.
But that truck, by the way, had a real gloss to it with gold with little gold um sparkles inside it.
It was an awesome looking truck.
Oh, you must have been the most popular kid in your neighborhood.
But listen, those fires were burning so hot.
Remember the gasoline from the jet fuel kept them going.
These guys couldn't wear respirators down at ground zero.
That's what the I represent over 10,000 firefighters.
They tell me they could not communicate wearing their masks, they couldn't breathe.
So they they took the risk because they were looking for their buddies at first.
No, I admire all of them.
And I know that what you're talking about is real, but if it wasn't efficient then, they should we're smart enough.
We send people to the moon and back, uh, we could have developed something that would have been safe.
And they should have made that determination, and they should have thought about the long-term health effects.
And now that we learn from that mistake, let's not make the same mistake again.
That's my argument.
Yeah, and I accept your argument, but we already have made the mistake.
There's already been the exposure.
It's been a lot of exposure.
I agree.
I'm I'm worried about the people in East Palestine.
But let's keep the politicians out and get the independent scientists in.
I think I agree with you completely.
I don't want to hear from Pete Buda, judge.
He's not a scientist.
He's an idiot.
With all due respect to President Trump who signed the Zadroga bill and for whom I am forever grateful.
We don't need him coming in either.
He's just in for a photo op.
Let's admit it.
No, he wasn't in for a photo op.
He brought attention to what's going on there.
So he brought water with him, and he is bringing the attention so that we do get it right.
And if he were president, I doubt he would have gone to Ukraine.
I think he would have gone to East Palestine.
Well, that's another subject.
I'm a No, it's not another subject.
That's a subject for right now, and I'm telling you, there's a big difference between Trump and Biden.
Huge.
There was a plenty of time for Biden to go, and he dropped the ball by not going, but I think him going to Ukraine.
I really do.
Okay, but he made the wrong choice.
It should be America first.
He can do both.
You can choose it should be America first.
You can do both.
America first.
We agree.
We agree.
Thank you.
You finally are getting some common sense.
We appreciate you being with us.

833-594-0075833-594075 online at Lone StarTransfer.com.
All right, before we hit the phones, you know, I'm I'm looking again and I'm like, I just can't believe there's like a never-ending amount of money.
Biden goes to Ukraine, offers another half a billion dollars.
Well, as I told President Zelensky when we spoke in uh Kiev yesterday, uh I can proudly say that our support for Ukraine remains unwavering.
And as I told uh our Russian counterpart in our while now, I said you're seeking the uh the um finalization of NATO.
You're gonna get the NATOization of Finland.
And uh it turns out I didn't know Sweden was coming along as well.
Uh now the U.S. is committing another two billion dollars in drone and drones and ammunition aid to Ukraine.
That brings us to like a hundred and twenty billion dollars.
But yet Joe Biden continues to veto any Western European country from giving Ukraine the fighter jets that they would need to fully and and to get on an equal playing field and battle Vladimir Putin, who has free reign of Ukrainian skies.
It's unbelievable to me.
And meanwhile, Europe has only put in about thirty billion dollars, five billion from Germany, five billion from the Great Britain.
Uh this isn't their backyard.
This isn't our backyard.
And now we have Putin threatening to even go into other countries.
What is Joe going to do then?
Probably nothing.
What's Joe Joe going to do when Taiwan uh is invaded by uh China?
Probably nothing.
You know, here's Janet Yellen, you know, saying our support for Ukraine is lasting and unconditional, and they're going to send them another ten billion dollars over the next nine months.
Let me make clear the United States um and the allies.
Uh our support for Ukraine will be lasting and is unconditional.
We stand with Ukraine and want to support Ukraine.
Of course, there's the immediate need for military equipment.
Um, and we've responded positively to uh many of the requests that Ukraine has made for advanced military equipment that should give them an edge.
Um, in addition to that, we need ongoing economic support.
Um, we've already provided $13 billion in support, and there's an additional $10 billion that we expect to provide over the next nine months.
And then to add insult to injury, Tony Blinken, you know, says the he defends depleting our weapons stockpiles in this very uncertain time to support Ukraine.
No, we cannot give up.
Like, for example, we shouldn't be selling our strategic petroleum reserves, but Joe Biden is doing that, and he's importing three million barrels of oil now a day from Venezuela.
Now he's going to prop up Venezuela's economy so they can be another well-funded enemy of the United States.
It's insane.
Here's Blinken.
Um we're providing weapons as well.
Um forgive me if this is a question that should be self-understood.
But does that mean that um that uh puts us in a position of a disadvantage?
Do we have enough weapons for ourselves to protect and serve this?
David Martin reported just last night that we have uh low stockpiles in some key areas.
And if there were conflict, we'd run out of, for example, uh air to ship missiles very quickly.
So I can tell you that the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of John Chief, Smart Billy, are extremely vigilant about making sure that whatever happens, we always have what we need to defend ourselves.
Uh wherever's wherever it's needed.
Okay.
Uh at the same time, of course.
Uh these uh weapons have uh had a real effect on Russia's military.
Russia's got about eighty percent of his ground forces committed to Ukraine.
They are taking terrible losses, terrible losses in personnel, public accounts two hundred thousand uh killed or wounded, and then their own tax, their own weaponry is uh being destroyed by the UK.
Unbelievable.
Let's get to our busy phones.
All right, let's say hi to Jay is in Texas.
Jay, hey hey, how are you?
Happy Friday, glad you called.
The reason that I called Sean was I I wanted to talk about the grand jury process and how flawed I believe it is, and and some of the reasons that I feel that way are well, first of all, they pack a room with a hundred people and then they say count from one to to a hundred.
Anybody with an even number, okay, y'all can go home.
Then anybody left, there's fifty left, and then they say, Let's do that again, and then everybody with an odd number, y'all can go home.
So we're left with twenty-five people.
Okay.
And then the guy comes in and he tells everybody just how just how easy it is, and that all you gotta do is uh is let's cover this docket.
We've got thirty cases on the docket today, and if we get through them all, you get to go home early, and you know, I'm gonna hearken back to your description about the ice cream parties that uh that the prosecuting attorneys Well, remember the the this grand jury was convened for some nine months.
Who has nine months of their life to give up to a grand jury?
The rest of us have to work.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I was in it.
This is down in Mac Allen, Texas, okay, and it and and we had about thirty cases on the docket that day.
And he kept harping on.
The faster we get these true bills out of here, the faster we can go.
So if you're if you're a person who's indicted or or who has to go before a grand jury to see whether you're gonna be indicted or not, it it it's horrible.
I mean, you're probably gonna get indicted because if you can fog a mirror, you can get on a grand jury.
Okay?
I mean, there's no they don't interview you, they don't talk to you.
At least when I did it, they didn't.
Okay, I don't know what the problem Well, you've heard the saying you can indict a ham sandwich, right?
Exactly, yes.
And and truthfully, truthfully, the the the system is grotesquely flawed, Sean.
It needs to be completely revamped.
They need to vet the jurors, okay?
They need to interview jurors, find out if they're going to be I can tell you one way to that if you want to get out of jury duty and you work for me, when they ask you what you do for a living, everybody on my TV or or radio staff that's ever been called the jury duty.
Uh I work on the Sean Hannity show or I work on Hannity the TV show on Fox, uh, you're dismissed instantly.
Instant dismission.
That is not true.
And I I think they liked me a lot more.
Did you get picked?
I just I just feel like I just feel like that if you get selected to be on a grand jury, you need to go in there with a John DeSai because they are so motivated in convincing and coaching you to give them true bills rather than a no bill.
You know the difference.
Okay, a true bill means you're indicted, a no bill means you're not.
Okay.
And so uh I don't know if it's just the grand jury I was on, or if uh I I probably would imagine that it is But but here you're an educated person.
There are many people that don't know they're only getting the prosecution side of the argument.
They're not getting they're not hearing anything from the defense.
And that to me is fundamentally unfair.
Now, think about this.
Anyone that has ever worked for me that got jury duty, got called for jury duty, and they go in at some point they ask what you do for a living.
And everybody that has ever said I work for Sean Hannity has been dismissed instantaneously.
They never pick for a jury.
Why do you think that is?
Well, yeah, because it's it it's it's bias.
But without going into specifics, okay and without naming names or or or anything.
One of the cases that they brought before us, okay, this is how flimsy the evidence was.
The guy got caught with a few kilos of cocaine in his trunk.
Go figure in Mac Allen, Texas, okay.
Anyway, he got caught with a few kilos of cocaine in the trunk Of his car.
And they started telling me.
I started asking, well, why did you pull the guy over in the first place?
Because I believe in people are they have rights, okay?
And and and there's certain things.
Well, they said they said he looked in his rear view mirror too many times while I was following him.
I said, Excuse me.
I uh raised my hand again.
I'm the thorn in their side.
They hate me already because they know that they screwed up and they should have they should have kicked me off the jury quick fast and in a hurry, but they didn't.
They selected me and I got there.
And so I asked I asked the uh witness that they brought before us, I said, Well, what made you think that he that he was hauling dope?
I mean, was was there dope falling out of the back of the car?
In other words, was there a r a reasonable cause to believe that something nefarious was going down?
That's what you're asking.
A very good question.
Yeah, and here was his answer.
Here was his answer.
Well, I was following him, he looked suspicious.
I judged, okay.
Let me ask a little deeper.
Why did he look suspicious?
Well, he kept looking in his rear view mirror repeatedly.
Well, by the way, if I have a cop following me and I'm driving, I usually will check the rear view mirror more than usual.
Well, I stayed on that guy's case until finally enough of the jurors around me started going, Yeah, yeah, you know what?
Yeah.
They got out of their stupid little box where they were told to just say yes, okay.
Just say true bill, and we'll be done with this.
So what did you do in the end?
And so, and so I finally a few of the people started kind of going, you know what, man, he's got a point there, you know.
So that guy got no bills, and he had he got caught with kilos of coke in his trunk.
Then it should he have gone shouldn't he have gone to court probably.
But you know what?
You're innocent until proven guilty in this country and you have rights, and and I don't like the rubber stamp mentality that has befallen all of our court systems now.
Nowadays, it it used to be that you were innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt.
And now it it's almost like it's a foregone conclusion.
You're going down if we say so, because we're the government and we're authoritarian and you're the peon and and you're going down, and your rights devil may care.
You know, so you're describing the reality of what the process is, and the process is beyond flawed.
Um and and here you are, you're trying to be diligent and thorough and get to the bottom of why you should vote to indict somebody, uh, which changes the trajectory of their lives.
In this case, it sounds a little bit like a slam dunk, but you were asking a pertinent question.
You know, what what was your reasonable cause for pulling this guy over?
That is a legitimate legal uh question, and if they didn't have a real reason to pull him over, uh then you have to question you know police tactics at that point.
But anyway, I uh Jay, I think you you shined a light on something people need to know.
I appreciate you being there, my friend.
Uh Leslie is in Ohio this Friday.
Leslie, how are you?
Glad you called.
Not too bad.
How are you?
Good.
What's going on?
Um, I just called in.
I wanted to thank you for all of your truth and um you telling it like it is and explaining things to us that the people that are in charge are supposed to be telling us the truth, but they're not.
Um example, COVID.
Um, you've never sugarcoated, coded.
You um had told what should have been said to the American people.
It was never explained to us the way it should have been.
But you always tell you know what you know, who you know it from.
You bring in experts that know what they're talking about, and you're always truthful.
And well, I appreciate your kind words.
I will tell you, it was a lot of pressure, Leslie brought on this show on my TV show for me to tell people what to do.
And I refuse to do it.
And and I in retrospect, I am so grateful that I I allowed my common sense to guide me and didn't give in to the pressure, uh, but there was a lot of pressure being brought to bear on me to tell people, oh, you gotta get the shot.
And I'm like, I I don't believe that's the case.
I don't think everybody should.
And I I put on doctors that had varying opinions, and I would always say to people that you've got to do your own research.
You've got to look at your own medical history, your current medical condition, um, and you've got to look at the research involving the emergency use authorization of these of of these vaccines.
We had the guy that created the MRNA technology, uh, Dr. Robert Malone on the program.
Uh, we had people that believed in therapeutics uh on the program.
If you had COVID, what were your options available?
And I didn't tell people what to do.
I just told people they were available.
