Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Then they're forcing you into all-electric.
Does everybody like the idea of all-electric and you can drive for one hour?
So crazy.
These people are crazy.
Trust it wasn't easy.
People counted you out saying you're past your prime.
Hell, I know something about that.
I do believe that, you know, at the end of the day, Briesman wouldn't have stayed in business so long if Hunter was not on the board.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a control.
Sean Henny, the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
At hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free, 800-941, Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
You know, you go back, just like the Russia collusion hoax, we've built out an ensemble team, and in this case, led by John Solomon.
And this has to do with the Joe Biden bribery scandal allegations.
And, you know, as you get into the weeds and the depth and the detail of what is now the third, I would say, information packet as it relates to money from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, it is devastating.
You know, and it's interesting to watch Democrats because, you know, Joe Biden, even yesterday with Peter Doocy, you know, let me play this Peter Ducey cup because Peter Doocy had asked him as a candidate, did you ever once talk to his son Hunter about his foreign business dealings?
No.
Brings it up yesterday.
I knew you'd ask a lousy question.
Listen.
There's this testimony now where one of your son's former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business.
Is that what never talked business in there?
I knew you'd have a lousy question.
Well, what do you why is that a lousy question?
Because it's not true.
It's not true.
Okay.
All these, they were talking about the weather, which was the idiot Congressman Goldman's answer after the hearings involving Devin Archer.
But now what do we know?
We have specific details.
We just went into it in great specificity in the last hour.
China, 8.1 million.
Again, this is now only one particular financial, some of the financial details coming out.
Previously, it was Romania and all these other countries.
But you got China, $8.1 million, $3 million from the state energy company, and $5.1 million from CEFC.
That's the Communist Chinese energy oil conglomerate.
We've talked a lot about that.
That was the one referenced on the WhatsApp message.
I'm sitting here with my father.
That was the shakedown message.
And the state energy is affiliated with the Chinese state-linked CEFC China Energy Company, partnered with the first son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's brother.
But I never once spoke to Hunter, my brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings.
That's where the 10% for the big guy was set aside in the WhatsApp message.
Who gets the money?
$3 million of that money divided three ways.
Hunter Biden, Biden's brother James, and Bo Biden's widow, Haley Biden, receiving a combined $1,065,000 each.
The latter $5.1 million passed mostly through Hunter's own entity.
I went into detail.
Ukraine, Burisma, $6.5 million between 2014 and 2019.
We already know what Joe's role there is.
He admits it on tape.
And we know Hunter had no experience in both these cases.
You have any experience in energy?
No.
Oil, no?
Gas?
No.
Coal?
No.
Ukraine?
No.
He didn't have any experience with China either.
Anyway, the guy that has been running point on breaking so many of these stories, and he shared all of them with us on radio and TV.
John Solomon is back with us, editor-in-chief, justthenews.com, investigative reporter.
And so now we've gone, John, from I never once spoke to my son, my brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings.
That evolved into, I was never in business with my son.
Now it's, oh, oh, see, there's no evidence that any money went right to Joe Biden.
But then we can go back to the Hunter Biden laptop.
There are three implications of his own son that monies were being shared with Pops.
He claimed that, and he bitterly complained about paying for Pops' home repairs, half his income going to Pops, 10% for the big guy.
That's a pretty strong indication that Pops was benefiting from all these deals.
And especially now knowing that he was meeting with some of these oligarchs like Elena Batarina, the Kazakhstan oligarch before the Porsche payment, or I think it was after, and many others, and then calling in to these meetings.
The December 4th, 2015 meeting out of Dubai, they put Joe on speakerphone.
That's the, you know, we desperately need Washington.
We need D.C. help.
The D.C. help wasn't coming from, at the time, an admitted crack addict.
We knew that from the sweetheart plea deal.
How long were you an addict?
From, what, 2001 or 2003 to 2019?
All these deals were done when Hunter Biden was addicted to crack and hookers.
Anyway, John Solomon, thanks for being with us.
Great to be with you.
Listen, the noose is tightening in terms of what the truth of the Biden family racket was.
And it's now very clear what it was.
Contrary to what we were told in 1920, Hunter Biden targeted foreigners who had unsavory reputations overseas.
A Chinese energy company trying to buy up American resources had problems in China.
It's number two official in the United States gets arrested for bribery.
You've got the Ukraine company.
State Department considered it a corrupt company, Burisma, and that it even was making bribes while Hunter Biden was on its board.
You've got a Romanian oligarch who was already arrested for corruption in his own country, going to Hunter Biden and paying him money.
This pattern is unmistakable now, what they were doing.
They were shaking down foreigners who had legal or reputational issues going on there.
The Russian oligarch, Yelena Badarina, her husband, the former mayor of Moscow, was considered corrupt by the United States State Department.
She's paying money.
They pay money.
They get access to Joe Biden.
Now, does Joe Biden have to speak business with him for this to work?
No, Joe Biden just has to show up and let it be known.
He's behind his son, and then the son does the business dealing.
Well, Burisma that we know got the biggest benefit, and Joe acknowledges and admits he fired the prosecutor.
Now we know that Burisma executives, Devin Archer, said without the help and without the relationship and without Hunter being on the board, they would have gone bankrupt in his view.
And when they said we need DC help, Hunter doesn't have any pull in D.C., but Joe did.
And then Joe leveraged the billion.
That led to the beginning of the smearing of Shokin, which led to Shokin, the prosecutors, being fired.
He was the one investigating Burisma and Joe's son.
Now, after Joe fires him, Hunter continues to stay on the board and get paid.
It wasn't until Peter Schweitzer's book came out, apparently, and they realized, uh-oh, this gig may be up, that the payment stopped.
Yeah, listen, and you heard Devin Archer say that they bought protection, that no one was going to mess with Burisma with its legal issues as long as Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were affiliated with the company.
So Devin Archer, not only did they keep them in business, it kept them, gave them a defensive protection racket.
That's what he really talked about.
There is, I think, the next step.
There are a couple of steps that are going to happen.
I think there is enough evidence now inside the or in the public now that James Comer is going to directly subpoena the Biden family members.
We're going to escalate from the partners and from the bank records to the Biden family.
I think that's going to be a major escalation.
I think you might see the multiple investigations combined into one select committee, kind of like what the Democrats did with January 6th.
I'd keep an eye on that over the next few weeks.
And then I think there is a really important fundamental question for which there's never been evidence, but there has been a storyline.
Every story that Joe Biden gave us for which there was no evidence has now been unraveled, right?
My family didn't get money from China.
Yes, it did.
My son didn't do anything wrong.
Well, he was about to plead guilty to tax evasion.
I never met with my son's business partners.
Yes, he did the laptops for misinformation.
No, it isn't.
There is another statement that Joe Biden has rested this entire scandal on, and that is I never change U.S. policy to benefit my son's clients.
And that was one of the key testimonies during the impeachment trial of President Trump in 2019, 2020.
I believe there's going to be new evidence in the next few weeks that's going to contradict that.
You're going to see a change in U.S. policy against the recommendations of the United States government to do something.
If that's happened, if Joe Biden went to the extent of changing U.S. policy, not following the recommendations that he was given, that I think escalates is to an entirely different explain that in more detail because this is very important, what you're saying.
It is.
So when I found the video in March of 2019 with the help of FBI sources that Joe Biden had bragged on tape a year earlier to getting Shokin fired, and I made the connection that Shokin was firing the, was pursuing Burisma at the time, the statement that came out and which is used all through the impeachment trial of President Trump is, yeah, Joe Biden did that.
It might look a little unseemly, but he was carrying out U.S. policy.
That's what people testified to in the trial.
The interesting thing was, I never saw any evidence of what the U.S. policy was.
Where was this policy?
The government writes everything down.
Somebody made the policy, right?
Was it Joe Biden in the White House or did it happen somewhere else?
I have fought for three and a half, four years to get the records to show what the actual U.S. policy recommendation is.
And I think next week, when people see that, they'll come to realize that Joe Biden did something different than what the recommended U.S. policy is.
And in fact, the prosecutor and the president of Ukraine was being told something different until panic set in the Biden family.
We know in October, November of 2015, the Biden family got spooked because reporters at the Wall Street Journal and New York Times were scratching and scratching and saying, hey, Hunter Biden on a corrupt company, what's this about?
As is the prosecutor about to investigate this company again, there was panic.
And we're going to show a timetable of exactly what the government decided to do and how it changed.
And when people see that, it's going to put Joe Biden into the position of having changed policy, not carried out policy that we now know is such an unseemly thing.
He fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company.
But that story has stood for three years in the absence of any evidence.
There was testimony, but no documents.
When you went and got the documents, like we've seen time and again, you see a very different story.
We're going to be able to give that to the American public next week.
All right, quick break more with investigative reporter, editor-in-chief, justthenews.com.
John Solomon on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls.
All right, we continue now.
John Solomon is with us, editor-in-chief, justthenews.com and investigative reporter.
Let's go back to the evolving Democratic talking points.
Point number one was to go with Joe's lie that he never once spoke to Hunter, his brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings.
He said it as a candidate many times.
He said it as president many times.
I was playing it on the show yesterday.
I played it on TV last night.
Why?
Because it's so critical.
Then the talking point, only in the last two and a half to three weeks, evolved into he's never been in business with his son.
Big difference between I never spoke to my son and I've never been in business with my son.
Now it seems the Democratic talking point after James Comer's release and the Oversight Committee's release yesterday is, see, there's no evidence that Joe Biden got paid a penny.
But even Jonathan Turley debunked that in his very interesting column today, saying, well, Hunter implicated his own father in terms of giving him and sharing the money.
Now, two other things.
Hunter was a crack addict, admittedly, at the time.
And what could Hunter have possibly offered?
All of these companies, many are top geopolitical foes.
What did they do in exchange for this money?
And by the way, grandchildren got paid here.
What did they do in exchange for the money?
What did Hunter do for the Porsche that he got?
What did Hunter do for Ukraine?
What could he possibly offer Ukraine when we know the CEO of Ukraine is saying to the FBI informant, as chronicled on the 1023 form, he thinks he's dumb and stupid and that his dog is smarter?
What did the Biden family do except allow the access to Joe Biden then vice president?
This is, as I said on your TV show last night, it's Bill Clinton's White House operation again.
They were selling access.
And there was a new talking point.
It is not going to last for but a few seconds, but Congressman Goldman said, oh, it really wasn't access.
It was the illusion of access.
Remember that line?
Which, by the way, never showed up.
When we got the transcript, Goldman lied to us.
He told us, oh, he told us it was the illusion.
It wasn't.
He never attested to illusion.
I'm going to read you an email which shows that there wasn't the illusion of access.
That Vadim Pazarski, the man that the FBI had in its files, as someone that was bragging that there was a bribery scheme.
They were coerced into paying the Burisma officials or coerced into paying the Biden family $10 million.
Pazarski shows up in the FBI documents.
And this is the morning after Joe Biden had a dinner with his son and his business partners at the Cafe Milano in Washington in April of 2015.
Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to D.C. and giving me an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together.
That's not illusion.
It happened.
Joe Biden gave access to the very people that were paying millions of dollars to his son.
Just like Bill Clinton, the asking price apparently was a lot smaller during the Clinton years, gave access to all those Democratic donors, those Chinese connected donors for $250,000, $100,000 back in the 90s.
They're selling access, and then that access sometimes could result in something good like getting the prosecutor fired.
That is the concern that congressional investigators have now that maybe that was on the table, Devin Archer.
All right.
Here's my last theory, and I'm not trying to interrupt you.
Your information is gold.
I'll just say this.
Joe Biden is one major trip fall away from, I think, a domino effect of prominent Democrats beginning to leave him and not support him and thinking he's not up to the job.
And this, once this hits its pinnacle, once this gets really deep into the political bloodstream, if it does, because the media mob's done a pretty good job of covering for Joe Biden the entire time, even when he was a candidate.
But if he's not in the media protection program anymore, the House of Cards falls, and he's not going to be the candidate.
Agree or disagree?
I think that's a real possibility.
There's still a lot of history that has to pay off, but I do think there's a lot of history that I want to say something else.
I interviewed the former intelligence team for the FBI, who used to do these sort of foreign intelligence corruption cases.
He was the FBI's premier exit, Kevin Brock.
He said to me today, based on what now that James Carmer has put into the public domain, there was plenty of evidence and there is plenty of evidence to investigate the Biden family for bribery under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and for organized money laundering.
That's an FBI expert who did this for a living saying the threshold has been met.
Now you have to raise yourself.
Where's that Justice Department?
Where's that FBI today?
We haven't seen it.
All right, John Solomon, honestly, you've been phenomenal on this story.
Great work.

I25 to the top of the hour.
Get to your calls coming up, 800-941-Sean, a number.
Linda's got a little story about me that apparently she's dying to tell you.
We'll get to that.
Look, ammo is expensive.
It's in short supply.
You may not know you can train without ammunition thanks to the technology that is Mantis X. As a matter of fact, all the best shooters in the world do the majority of their training doing what's called dry fire practice in the comfort of their own home.
And the Mantis X firearms training system, it's no ammo.
It's an all-electronic way to practice, improve your shooting accuracy and your skill.
You simply attach it to your own firearm like a weapon light, and boom, you know, you pull out your iPhone and you're good to go.
And Mantis X will give you data-driven real-time feedback on your technique.
They'll guide you through drills and courses.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis X.
Now, Mantis X is used by the Marine Corps, the Army, Special Forces.
In other words, it's real military-grade technology.
Best part, you get it at an affordable price.
It'll improve your shooting dramatically.
Linda is the most improved shooter I know.
She went from basically zero, and she's now regularly in the 80s.
I'm very proud of her.
She'd work a little harder.
She can become a marksman or a markswoman in your case.
I want to get my pronouns right.
Never worry about that with me.
Anyway, look, if you believe in your Second Amendment rights, you got to act on your Second Amendment responsibilities.
That's to be competent and confident in your shooting ability.
Anyway, improve your shooting accuracy today.
Go to mantisx.com, M-A-N-T-I-S-X.com.
All right.
So I don't like New York City at all.
That's so surprising.
Okay.
And so I have studios close to my home where I live, which is out in Long Island.
So when I'm not doing an audience show, which is usually Wednesday and Thursday night, or traveling for the show, I have studios very close to my home.
Very, very convenient.
For a lot of years, I've been doing way before COVID.
We've been doing this.
And it just makes my life easier.
But you know what?
Because people really seem to like the audience show, my job is to do, to put on the best show.
And if people seem to like them, I'm going to do that.
And I love seeing people.
We have so it's a rowdy crowd.
Every night we throw them footballs, hitting people in the head.
I'm going to get sued one day.
It's going to be a headline.
Hannity guest, an audience dies from football throwing.
Meanwhile, it's like a nerf football.
It's not like a hard football.
But anyway, so when I come in the city, I've been on a, as you know, I'm into fitness and I do my mixed martial arts.
And over the last year and a half, maybe, maybe two years, we added as a component of my training weightlifting.
I'd never lifted in my life.
Never, that was not my thing.
You know, we always did push-ups, like a ton of them, like, you know, sets of 40, you know, four sets, six sets, depending on the day, you know, 120 to 250 sit-ups on any given day, V-ups, you know, just regular, you know, crunches and reverse crunches and leg throws, you name it.
We do all of it, all part of your strength and conditioning.
And anyway, when I started lifting, I started building muscle, which is heavier than fat, to use the word, if you can use that word anymore, but that's what they call it.
And it's just heavier.
So I was getting heavier.
And what I didn't realize is not only was I building muscle, my appetite went through the roof from lifting.
And then I started gaining real pounds in my stomach.
So finally, I just said, you know, I got to get back in better shape.
My weight's going up too much.
I went on a diet.
That's the NJ diet.
I don't hide it.
I love it.
It works.
It's very calorie restrictive.
No drinking.
I went seven weeks without a drink.
I got to tell you, when you are on the bus.
You are the happiest.
I mean, you're such a pleasure to be around when you are dieting.
I have to tell you.
Just a joy.
Okay.
I'm never done.
I could do this for hours.
Okay.
You mean you'd think I'm cranky when I'm on a diet?
You are the hangriest person I know.
Let me tell you something.
You are bitter.
You are mad at everyone else that is eating and living their life to the fullest.
That's so not true.
It's not as bad as you're making it out.
Oh my God.
You're so bad.
I have never anyone like you when you're hangry.
What I do now is I just stay because I finished the 40-day program did the extended program which is 20 more days And now I'm on maintenance and you know, so I'm basically what does that mean?
Because I know for each person it's different.
For me, it means that I eat two half meals a day.
What is a half meal?
A half meal is, for example, which is going to be a lot of fun.
Let's get into it.
Two half meals and occasionally some tomatoes or a piece of fruit or something that I hate anyway.
I like tomatoes.
But anyway, so a half meal is something that I like, often meat-related, and I get little cravings occasionally.
So the last two days for lunch, like I'll, for dinner, it's usually something simple.
Like, I'll just stick to six ounces of meat and that's it.
And have some vegetables.
String beans seems to be my favorite lately.
Okay.
And I just literally saute them in avocado oil and, you know, put a little bit of garlic on it and I'm good to go.
And I like always to cook my own meat because I like it just.
Always have.
Always have.
So I don't know.
I just had a craving for a grilled cheese with ham on sourdough.
I like sourdough, Brian.
So I came in yesterday and they had four different versions because they couldn't get it.
Every time I would come.
Let's be very clear about who couldn't get it.
Well, let's elaborate on that.
Apparently the entire team was involved.
I would say it's the city of New York.
In Operation Get Hannity's Sandwich.
We call it Girled Cheese Gate.
And it's a real thing.
Well, in fairness, can I be really fair here?
I buy all of these.
Stanger's here now because Stanger was our run man.
I know.
And by the way, you shouldn't have to do this after working for me 30 years.
It's just a lot.
But you know what the thing is about Stanger?
Stanger is just walking sunshine.
He was like, I know he does.
He's got cheese.
Let's stanger get out.
He didn't care one bit.
He didn't care one bit.
And you know what?
That's the kind of team we are.
Pretty much everybody on this team will lift up the boxes, bring in the water.
But I don't ask for a lot, do I?
I really don't.
Well, it's not that you don't ask for a lot.
It's that what you ask for, you want.
And if you don't have it, you get real angry.
As I get angry, you sound like I'm lashing out, yelling at people.
No, I get a little cranky, but I don't take it out on anybody.
It's because you are starving.
So I think we should elaborate on the storm.
But I'm not taking it out on my staff.
You're turning me into a horse.
I'm not sure that you're not the happiest.
I mean, you know, you don't take it out on me because I'm aggressive right back.
And that gets super fun for everybody.
You know, nobody wants that.
So anyway, so yesterday I was frustrated.
What sandwich I wanted was not there.
You are such an adjective-wise person.
You know what?
You got a million different adjectives for yourself when you get a little angry, cranky, grumpy, frustrated.
You want me to talk about your anger issues?
I own it.
I own it.
I am loud and proud of the fact that I am an aggressive woman and I am confident that.
We have Jason moments.
The only one I've never seen Katie get angry.
Katie gets angry.
You don't hear her talk to the callers.
It took us a long time, but she's here.
And now she has a little bit of a New York accent.
No, now she's become a like Bo Snerdly, James Golden.
Oh, no one can touch both of them.
Nobody, no, that's a show onto itself.
All right.
So, and then today I come in and I open.
But wait, we got to finish yesterday.
I couldn't get what I wanted yesterday.
Yes, I know.
Everybody knows.
And now everybody really does know.
The whole audience knows.
30 million people know.
But here's the thing.
We called the restaurant.
Katie actually got on the phone.
Because clearly when she wrote, no white bread, please, my boss will murder me.
Sourdough only.
Sourdough, sourdough.
It's written like six times on the dang thing.
I saw it.
She gave me a copy.
She had to give you a copy because it's unreal.
And not only did they send it wrong, but then they went and got five more for you.
You liked the dirty first one, which was the nastiest one that we got.
And then you threw the other ones in the trash.
I ate half.
Quite frankly, some of us would have partaken from that food that you didn't want to do.
But you want the other half of taxes.
I didn't say me.
I just said some people.
But anywho, today we tried to get it for you.
No sourdough to be found in the city of New York.
Not even in the grocery store.
And I said, if that's the case, then forget sourdough.
Just get me white bread.
I said, fine, I'll just take it on one hand.
And you know what they forgot?
They didn't put any ham on it.
So they said it was a bad one.
I opened up a grilled cheese.
With no ham.
Okay.
Now, let me just tell you, it says in the title.
I saw the rest of the day.
It's a horsehead ham grilled cheese sandwich.
I saw the receipt.
I concede the point.
This ham identifies as grilled cheese only.
Stanger just went to five different places.
Now, I've not eaten since 11 o'clock or 11.15 last night.
And I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to tell you.
I'll tell you what, you look thin as hell.
Good for you.
Nice job.
Great.
Nice job.
I'm in Mitten fasting, not by choice.
And then finally today, you found a place.
She went to the, what, five separate places after I had two sandwiches that had no ham on it today.
Which, let me tell you, to your credit, super weird.
We are mystified by this.
It's so strange.
I don't know who puts the title of a sandwich, ham and cheese, and no ham.
It's very, very strange.
Just so you know.
And by the way, it cost a whopping $7.50.
Now, to be fair, to inform our audience totally, you guys have my full permission.
I see sushi back there.
I see steaks back there.
I see.
He has steak.
I don't know.
I think that might be a stretch.
Ethan, I don't order steak on.
We're lucky we get Ethan to eat it all.
He's such a good Christian.
He never wants to take it.
Well, Ethan probably needs to go on my diet then.
That's it.
Oh, my God.
Well, you know, we have a solution now for you.
It's a wonderful solution.
So we're going to grocery shop at home for you.
We're going to go get some ham.
We're going to buy it in like, you know, bulk.
We're going to put it in the fridge.
I bought a panini maker today, so that's coming.
We're going to have to make it a lot of fun.
That's what we're nice that you're doing that.
But my craving will be long gone by the time that you're going to be able to do that.
No, you know what?
That panini maker is going to be.
I tell you what, that's going to be a handity staple for the rest of the show's time right now.
We're going to make it right here in-house.
It's going to be handity grilled cheese.
But you got to understand.
Now, I only ate half the sandwich today.
That's all I had.
And the other half I still have here.
If you want it, you can have it.
The one without the ham, I don't want that.
No, this one.
What kind of sandwich is if it doesn't have any ham?
I don't know.
No, it does have the ham.
The final one that I got.
You don't understand.
I'm breaking your stones, but you're not catching up.
Okay, I got it.
So I'm willing to give you the other half.
Now, I won't eat again until after TV tonight.
That's when I'll have a little bit of meat.
Oh, so your TV crew is going to get this personality, too.
No, no.
I buy them dinner every night.
They buy more steaks than you do.
They buy more sushi than you do.
So that's definitely got to be.
Who eats sushi all the time back there?
Stanger?
All the time?
I think.
Stanger and Ethan.
Ethan's a big sushi guy.
I do love sushi.
I love it.
But I don't eat it all the time.
But all right, you get it.
And Katie, I think you like it, right?
Yeah, I get it as well.
I mean, most of the time she can't eat after ordering lunch because the anxiety that dips into her stomach, giving her this ulcer from getting your lunch.
I'm here two days a week.
I don't like New York City.
I'm 197, but you know, who's counting?
So by the time I get home after an audience show, I usually stay and answer questions 15 minutes or something.
And then I get in my car and I go home.
And when I get home, I'm starving.
I'm ravenous.
And, you know, sweet baby James and my sister were living with me for eight months.
Now I'm a loner.
I live all by myself.
You're still defined the sourdough?
I never asked that for her.
At that point, I was on a chicken noodle kick.
She takes a chicken, boils it in water.
And I'm like, no, I said, let me fix this for you.
You definitely low in fat.
I used to be a chef.
And what did I do?
I made a chicken noodle soup.
And I used beef bullion cubes.
And then she said, well, I only want to put in three.
And I'm like, no, you put in one bullion cube for every two cups of water.
That's how you make it and make it taste good.
I said, I'm going to eat one meal a day or two meals a day.
I'm going to enjoy it.
No.
By the way, and they were like upset.
They felt like they were intruding.
I'm like, guys, I'm enjoying the fact I don't have to go shopping.
I'm not sure because like in the morning, I got a break from going shopping.
I am not hungry.
I'm working out in the middle.
I'm sure it wasn't welcoming.
Do you think I'd get away with being hangry with Shente?
No way.
Not with Glenn.
No, no.
I'd kick my ass.
I don't need that.
I don't even look at Glenn.
I don't make any eye contact.
I just say good morning and keep walking.
Yeah.
And anyway, so long story short, so I'll make something small.
And then that's how I'm keeping my weight down.
Maybe I should make it to your house.
But however, my energy level is not any different.
I had two weeks where I had like no energy and I just plowed through.
After that, my body got used to the lower caloric intake.
It does.
Here's a doctor that I spoke to.
I thought it was a genius comment.
And, you know, all these people now are taking like Wagoovi or Wagovi or Zempic.
What?
Yeah, it's like the new diet craze stuff.
Medicine?
Yeah.
And apparently it's, you know, everything I've read about it is interesting.
I just, I didn't have that kind of weight to lose.
I know three people.
Just go to the gym.
I know three people that lost 100 pounds.
100 pounds.
You can put on medicine.
But when you talk to them and you ask them, I'm like, how did you lose?
What does this medicine do?
It says it makes you feel full.
And the sight of food or even your favorite drink makes you want to puke.
Oh, that's horrible.
Well, if you got to lose 100 pounds, I don't care what you got to do to lose it.
You got to lose it because that's the single best thing you can do for your long-term health.
One of them was pre-diabetic.
Not anymore.
Another one had high blood pressure.
Not anymore.
But they couldn't lose it a natural way.
They had to take the medicine.
Well, what do you want?
Gastric bypass?
That's not the way to lose weight.
Surgery.
So the guy said to me, the doctor guy, and he actually believes and does for certain people, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.
I did not have that kind of weight to lose.
He says that it's a godsend for them.
And then he goes, what people don't realize, he goes, you can go for weeks without having a morsel of food as long as you're hydrating properly with electrolytes, et cetera.
He goes, every American doesn't get it.
We're all calorie multi-billionaires.
You got enough calories in you.
He goes, and your body will start burning those calories if you're not feeding new calories.
Look, I'll just use Disney as an example.
You go to Disney.
What do you see?
You see a lot of people with turkey legs and funnel cakes that I'm being very respectful here.
I know people struggle with their weight and I sympathize with them because I have to watch my weight.
And the fact is, they ought not be eating funnel cakes and turkey legs.
And then you have another group of people that can't even walk through the park.
They have those little scooters they have to use to go through the park.
And they're just not in shape to even walk through the park.
And I'm like, that is the single biggest cause of heart disease, strokes, diabetes.
All of this leads to early death.
And what I have figured out and what I believe, and I'm not giving medical advice, but for me, is that if I just keep my weight down and I try to get in 10,000 steps on top of my martial arts workout, then, you know, I'm giving myself the best shot.
I probably should give up my jewel, but I'm not doing that.
That ain't happening.
You got to have something.
Exactly.
And they say, what is it?
The nicotine gives you like what?
The sweet baby James is like, don't tell everybody you use Juul.
James, the ship has sailed.
There's been, you know, a bar.
My son calls me one day, Dad, you're on bar stools.
I'm like, great.
Why am I on bar stools?
Listen, I think you're crying.
I'm going to sleep better at night having your jewel.
I'm going to tell you right now.
Because if you didn't have that, that would be tough.
Well, that's the only reason that I'm not as cranky as you claim.
You're exaggerating as usual.
All right.
Enough, enough with the grilled cheese thing.
I'm done.
We're not talking about it anymore.
Anyway, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
All right, when we come back, Christopher Ray lying again before Congress as it relates to the outright hostility by the FBI towards traditional Catholicism.
We'll explain on the other side in your calls, 800-941-Sean.
