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

Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Let me give you our toll free number.
We'd love to hear from you.
It's 800-941 if you want to be a part of the program.
I mean, Joe Biden just continues to get caught in these lies.
I I I mean, it's like one after another after another after another.
I mean, this week alone, he claimed that he taught political theory, for example, at the University of Pennsylvania.
He never taught a single class.
Listen.
Our democracy is under attack.
We gotta fight for it.
I thought it's the University of Pennsylvania for four years, and I used to teach political theory.
Folks, you're always here.
Every generation has to fight for democracy.
And then, you know, earlier in the week, he was on a call with rabbis, said, I was, you might say, raised in the synagogues of my state.
You know, this is like he said, he claimed his neighborhood was mostly uh people from Puerto Rico.
No, that wasn't true either.
But he's telling the rabbis that I was uh you might say I was raised in the synagogues of my state.
You think I'm kidding?
I'm not.
He always why is he always saying you think I'm kidding, I'm not.
Listen.
I uh might say raised in uh the uh synagogues of my state.
Back in moving in Delaware Shaw was a whole killing friends for me.
He just makes this Adam Schiff up.
It's unreal.
Here's some of his classics.
I got involved in politics indirectly by getting involved in the civil rights movement as a kid.
I got started out of an HBCU, Delaware State.
Now I don't want to hear anything negative about Delaware State here.
I I used to drive a tractor trailer.
Oh and so I'm a little bit about driving big trucks.
By the way, when I left the vice presidency, I had a chance to do a number of things, but I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
And by the way, I was doing Villanova's commencement, and one of my nuns from school was getting her doctorate degree.
I presented it to her, and she said, That was pretty good, Joe.
You just said you instead of me at the time.
Ground zero in New York.
And I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building.
I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell.
Unbelievable.
Just never stops.
Anyway, joining us now, Sean Davis.
He is the CEO, co-founder of the Federalists, Kaylee McGee White is uh with us.
She is editor of the Washington Examiner.
Welcome both of you to the program.
Welcome uh back, Sean.
How are you?
I'm well, thank you for having me, sir.
Uh Kaylee, good to hear you.
Kaylee, why why does this man constantly lie?
And why is it only now people are catching up with conservatives?
We've been pointing this this habit of his uh to exaggerate constantly.
It's not even exaggerating, just flat out lies.
Yeah, and his entire career has been marked by these lies.
He's lied about participating in a civil rights march, about being arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela, about how his son Bo died, about what his economic policies are really doing to the working class.
Oh, and let's not forget the lie that he was never involved in his son Hunter's business dealing.
And he does this, Sean, because it's the old he has no choice.
It's the only way he can maintain this facade that he has created.
This idea that he's relatable Uncle Joe.
He has no choice but to lie to the American people over and over and over again because otherwise the facade starts to break down.
It really does.
Sean, what's your take on it?
And you know, I I'm making the case now that I I see cracks in the liberal media, the mob.
They're now reporting on this.
They're now reporting even on Joe's cognitive state.
You know, I think we've hit a tipping point when you have David Ignatius and Maureen Dowd and Van Jones and James Carville and David Axelrod, you know, now being very critical of Joe Biden.
Is this now the big push to get him off the ticket?
It's a great question, and I'm glad you brought up David Ignatius because I'm not sure David Ignatius gets out of bed in the morning without getting a directive from uh the CIA or in the intelligence services to to do that on their behalf.
But it's interesting looking at Joe Biden.
It's easy, given his frail state to assume that these lies and exaggerations are a function of dementia or age.
But as Kaylee said, he's been a liar his entire political career.
You go back 30, 40 years, he lied about how he graduated in law school.
He wasn't at the top.
He was in the bottom 10%.
He lied about having a full scholarship in law school.
He actually failed a class in law school for plagiarizing.
He plagiarized speeches as a presidential candidate in 1987.
Neil Kinnick of the Labor Party in Britain, yeah.
That uh that ended that presidential run.
Yeah, and it's his entire career is marked by lies.
And I don't know if it's uh a need to be liked by people or a deep insecurity that he needs them to believe.
He's smarter than he is, but this is a personal, a personality behavioral failing of him.
It's not a function of age.
And in obviously the age is a serious issue.
Um, but the man's character hasn't changed.
He is exactly today who he's been in politics for 50 years.
Let me stay on this issue.
Uh again, I'll I'll list Maureen Dowd and David Ignatius and Van Jones and and David Axelrod and James Carville.
When you start losing them, Kaylee, is that the canary and the coal mine and and not really the biggest um vote of confidence from even Nancy Pelosi this week.
Certainly not a vote of confidence, her comments on Kamala Harris.
Absolutely.
And they're signaling that the establishment is getting ready to toss both Biden and Kamala Harris.
And it's interesting, the David Ignatius column that recently came out.
Notice the timing of when that came out.
It came out right after a CNN poll found Biden losing to just about every Republican primary candidate.
That's not a coincidence.
This is intentional.
The only reason that they are turning on Biden is because they're worried that he's going to lose.
If he was way up in the polls, this would not be an issue.
They would be circling the wagons, they would be rallying around him.
But because he's weak and they sense his weakness, now the tides are starting to turn.
But didn't we see a new level of cognitive decline in Vietnam?
Sean Davis.
I mean, I've been pointing this out since he was a candidate.
And now to listen to Democrats, I mean, even Joe Scarborough.
He lost Joe Scarborough on the issue of his cognitive state.
Um another canary in the coal mine?
I I think so, but I think it's as much about fear of Trump's strength as it is Biden's weakness.
Biden is obviously weak.
But if you look at what the left has done to Trump, they impeached him twice, they've indicted him I don't know how many times.
They're trying to have him thrown off the ballot, they're trying to get him convicted uh in the middle of a campaign next year.
And the man, if you believe the polls, is still tied or even in some polls besting Joe Biden.
That the Democrat establishment has to be absolutely terrified that they filed they fired every arrow in their quiver at Trump, and it still looks like he's stronger than Biden.
And I think that may actually terrify them more than Biden's particular weakness.
Now, this raises another issue here, because the person you would most naturally look toward would be the vice president, and that would be Kamala Harris.
And it was interesting to me to watch that some but clearly somebody from her camp or supportive of her leaked this piece about how, well, if Gavin Newsom gets in, uh, it's certainly not going to be received well uh by minorities and women in the party uh over at the that hard-hitting news show, The View, Kaylee, uh Sonny Houston was warning that Biden is going to lose the black vote if he dumped dumps Kamala Harris.
Uh I think Kamala's her own worst enemy.
Her approval ratings are lower than his.
So then the question becomes who who replaces them.
Right.
And notice that after those comments came out, Gavin Newsom announced that he has no intention of running in 2024.
So he's clearly getting the message here that identity politic runs the Democratic Party, and he better not get in the way of that.
This is part of the problem when you've tied your entire ideology to this belief, this obsession with race.
Who wants to be the white California male governor who takes the presidency from the first black female vice president?
no one wants to be that person because he would get pilloried by the far left.
So this is a tough dilemma for other hopeful Democrats to be in right now, where they recognize that Kamala is uniquely weak as a vice president, They recognize Biden's weaknesses, and yet who is going to step up to challenge them?
Well, I think that's I mean, okay, Gavin Newsom.
Now, when I interviewed him, and I I don't know if either one of you saw the interview, but when I interviewed him, I pressed him hard about how many people on a daily basis are pinging his phone saying that he needs to get into this race.
He was asked the same questions by Chuck Todd and then actually gave a a strong endorsement that if Joe didn't run that it would be Kamala Harris and he wouldn't get involved at all.
So do you believe that that's accurate, uh, Sean Davis?
You're you know, this is not our first rodeo.
I think anything can happen.
I generally i is uh is a rule in politics.
Uh discount any politician who says they're not gonna run for president, because they all do it up until the moment they choose to run for president.
Uh you almost have to feel sorry for Kamala.
She she's a horrifically bad politician.
She's very uniquely unlikable.
She was so unlikable in her own party that she had to drop out of that primary uh in 2020 before they even had a single vote cast in any primary or caucus.
So obviously Dems are panicking.
Uh it's the thought of her having to be at the top of the ticket, her her identity politics bona fides notwithstanding.
But but the Democrat problem has that Democrat Party has a real problem with depths right now.
They don't have a deep bench.
They don't have a lot of people sitting out there waiting to go, and I think one reason is their policies have been so destructive and so bad for the country.
I'm not sure anyone wants to follow behind Joe Biden and have to take credit or wear uh his record as an albatross around their own necks.
What are your thoughts, Kelly?
I think that as as the deadlines loom, you're gonna start to see more Democratic officials dipping their toes in the water to see what the establishment's reaction might be.
I'm from Michigan.
I'm watching pretty closely what Gretchen Whitmer is gonna do.
Her name is one that I've heard floated around several times about a pot a potential even VP pick if Biden decides to dump Kamala.
Wouldn't be surprised if she tried her hand at a sort of national run.
I think you're you're gonna start to see more of that over the next uh coming weeks, over the next few months, especially as the polls keep coming back with really poor ratings for both Biden and Kamala.
That's gonna be very interesting.
Uh let me ask you both, who do you think would be the most the strongest candidate for them?
I mean, uh look, Gavin is right out of central casting, the governor of California.
However, I mean his policies are so over the top radical left wing, you know, would Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, would they support those policies, Sean Davis?
Yeah, uh when I look at their bench, I think the the person most likely you might see Biden go after if he wants to dump Kamala would be Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City.
Um that might actually explain his little flip-flop on immigration in the past week.
Uh, he's becoming a little more hawkish, the media like him, and and he of course checks the identity politics boxes that the Democrat Party establishment demands.
Well, I mean, you're you're I I was more asking the question about Joe if Joe doesn't if Joe says, you know, after talking to my white my wife Jill and my family and consulting uh with the people closest to me in my life, I think I've come to the conclusion that it would be the right time for somebody else to take over.
Blah blah blah, and I will not be a candidate for the 2024 presidential race.
Who get who then gets in and who would win and who would be the most formidable?
I think it would be Eric Eric Adams at this point.
I I think it would be someone who's not been in national politics because the national political situation is so bad.
It's gonna have to be someone with a fairly thin record um that that the right can't go after.
So you're gonna be looking at someone who's been a mayor or governor for not particularly long, who's good on camera and can say the right lines.
Who do you think it would be if you had to pick somebody, Cayley?
Again, I'm gonna say Gretchen Whitmer, she could get the suburban woman vote pretty easily.
She represents a midwestern swing state.
She's kind of the ideal candidate that they're looking for.
However, I will say, I don't think it matters quite that much who the candidate is because ultimately they're not going to be the ones running the administration.
We know that's the case with Joe Biden right now.
He is not the one in charge.
Whoever they put in that White House, we're going to get the exact same result either way.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Sean Davis and Kaylee McGee White on the other side, and then your calls 800-941 Sean is on number.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS.
You're our kind of people.

All right, we continue.
We'll get to your calls in the next half hour.
800-941 Sean on this Friday.
Uh, but we continue with Sean Davis and Kaylee McGee White.
All right, I'm not thinking Donald Trump gets a fair trial in New York, D.C., or Fulton County, Georgia.
Let's start there.
If he has a conviction in an election year and doesn't get a chance at appeal in an election year, uh how does that play out with independent voter Sean Davis?
I I think that's the major question.
Um it's uh it's unprecedented.
It's almost impossible to predict.
I I think a lot of people have baked in that these are completely political, that they're based entirely on the Democrat Party trying to take out their their top opponent, but it's hard to gauge exactly how people are going to react if the moment he gets convicted, and I assume he will be convicted and by DC jury.
They would convict a ham sandwich if it had an R next to its name.
So I I could see a situation where you know maybe the bottom falls out for him, or it could actually galvanize support for him when it demonstrates how uh focused the machine is on taking him out, not because of who he is, but because of what the policy is.
It might galvanize the base.
I'm asking, how does it impact independent voters, the ones that usually decide elections?
Right.
Well, I mean, I I can make the argument either way.
The argument that it could help him is you never want to be running as the incumbent when things are bad.
You'd much rather be the outsider, the person coming in to shake things up.
What better position to be in than the regime that's ruined everything trying to take you out?
All right.
Uh, and Kaylee, do you agree with that?
Listen, I think it hurts him among independent voters, and I think that's why Democrats are doing this in the first place.
I think that they're banking on the idea that swing voters, suburban women, independents won't look into the legitimacy of the individual charges so much as they will care about the fact that he is being charged in the first place.
I don't think we understand what the ramp ramifications of these court appearances are going to be, especially considering that he has almost a dozen of them over the span of a year.
It's not going to be a good look.
I think it hurts his campaign, and I think that's exactly why Democrats are doing this.
Thank you, Kaylee.
Thank you, Sean Davis.

That's Phoenix on Hannity.com.
Well, uh this was pretty entertaining, actually, because New York City residents angry over the Joe Biden open borders policy and the hundred thousand plus illegal immigrants dumped into the neighborhoods all over the state of New York by the Biden administration.
Only 13% sent up by the governor of Texas Abbott, although the mayor Adams keeps blaming uh the governor for the out-of-control illegal immigrant problem in New York.
But he once was saying no, we're open.
We're wide open and didn't want to go visit the border to see up close and personal what Texas was dealing with.
Anyway, so now it's you know, they're estimating twelve percent up, sorry, twelve billion dollars.
It's gonna cost taxpayers in New York City alone.
Uh there's a lot of frustration because the Biden administration's not helping.
Uh also frustration about where to put them, and the answer this week from Joe Biden's administration will send them to Long Island in upstate New York.
Why keep them in New York?
Anyway, so you had protesters now.
There was a, I guess, a joint uh town hall meeting with AOC, Congresswoman Alexandria Casio Cortez and Congressman Jerry Nadler and other Democrats Friday during a midtown press conference about this very issue.
And anyway, the New York polls were drowned out by angry screams as they tried to talk outside the Roosevelt Hotel mega shelter uh early this morning, send them back.
A lot of people were screaming.
Jonathan Rinaldi, Queens City Council candidate, shouting, close the border, close the border.
Others uh, you know, screaming.
I'm your constituent of male protester crying out at one point a security guard grabbed Ronaldi 44, shoved him behind a barrier barricade.
Protesters brandishing America first, vetted illegal ill uh migrants only signs.
They descended at this East 45th Street hotel as lawmakers were addressing the city's you know illegal immigrant crisis.
AOC and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus had toured the emergency shelter when the chaos erupted.
And anyway, here's uh AOC from earlier today trying to talk about uh what's going on in New York City and uh gets shouted over.
With that.
Yes, and ultimately, I think that there are three points of consensus here that are very important in getting a solution to this issue.
The first is that there is consensus here across geography and states on increased federal resources to cities and municipalities dealing with this issue.
The second is to allow for work authorizations so that folks in here can get to work and start supporting themselves as soon as possible.
They are prevented from getting jobs, they are prevented from employment, and that is part of the screen on our public system.
The faster that folks can access the work that they're asking for legally, the better we can solve this problem.
And the third is extension of temporary protected status for Venezuelans are the largest population.
So with that, we thank you all.
Wow, getting a little hostile there.
But you know what?
It's so out of control.
Borders out of control, the economy's out of control, energy prices are out of control.
Uh we now have one rogue nation hostile geopolitical foe after another joining forces.
This This is not pretty.
This is what America with a weak, frail cognitive mess as a president looks like that has radical views.
Uh anyway, uh let's go to Calton is in Georgia.
You're on the Sean Hannity show.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday, Sean.
It's uh great to speak with you, sir.
What's going on?
I was wondering I was wondering why more people are not questioning Joe Biden's cognitive ability, considering that he has control over the nuclear codes.
I don't think he's uh look.
Do you ever go to Walmart and you have maybe some retired people?
Um I've met some of the nicest people.
They're they're Walmart greeters, I think they call them.
You ever you ever go to Walmart and you walk in the door and they're there to tell you, you know, by the way, where's your sporting department?
Where's your uh whatever department, whatever you're looking for, right?
Um do you ever meet those people?
Because I have.
Yeah, I love Walmart.
I mean, you go to Super Walmart, it's awesome.
Uh they have everything you'd ever want.
Great prices.
Uh it's it's I Walmart, Target, Costco.
I like all those places.
I like Costco, especially when they give free food out.
Um and I end up I usually end up buying whatever it is that they are preparing in front of me because I I can't control my appetite, as usual.
Uh I don't even think he's fit enough to be a Walmart greeter.
Because I don't think he'd r be able to remember where all the departments are.
That is and it has nothing to do with his age.
I'll give you an example.
Bernie Sanders, I believe, is older than him, and he's sharp as attack.
Has to do with, you know, his cognitive state.
This guy had two frontal lobe surgeries in the eighties.
I I don't know if that's impacting all this, or I just you know, some people I I've heard of early onset Alzheimer's disease for people.
People in their fifties for crying out loud, even younger.
Scary.
I mean, these and there's no cure for these diseases.
They're degenerative, and I think we saw in Vietnam, it's gotten worse for this guy.
Yes.
I know.
I mean, my father passed away from Alzheimer's, so I know what that's like.
I'm sorry to hear that, by the way.
It's terrible to watch that decline, isn't it?
Oh, yes.
It took a long time, but yeah.
It takes a long time, and you know, then when you get to the point where they don't recognize you, or you get to the point, you know, they ask a question, you answer it, and two minutes later they're asking the same question, and then two minutes after that they'll ask it again.
I've seen it all.
I don't like it.
I feel bad for them.
Yeah.
Anyway, um, I don't think he could be I don't think he's up to the job of a Walmart greeter.
And your point is he's got the nuclear codes.
The nuclear codes.
Pretty scary, isn't it?
Uh yeah, because I think, you know, he could just go, oh, well, let's see what these buttons do.
Well, he wouldn't be able to pull it off that way.
He might actually have to remember the code.
Uh and unless there was a good reason, I gotta believe somebody around him would stop him.
Uh anyway, sir, thank you for the call.
You have a great weekend.
Uh Brad is in Ohio.
What's up, Brad?
How are you, sir?
Sean, how you doing?
You're a great American.
Thank you, my friend.
You're a great American.
Happy Friday to you.
Thank you.
It is a happy Friday.
Hey, I I wanted to call you.
I'm a first-time caller, but um I wanted to call you in regards to the Hunter Biden gun uh fiasco here.
And and my point being is that if I'm not mistaken, the gun that he purchased is a 38 snub nosed revolver.
And uh I'm not a gun expert, I'm a gun enthusiast, but a 38 snub nose revolver is only good for two things.
One is protection, and two is to kill somebody.
I don't remember if it was a snub nose.
I I I uh off the top of my head, I just don't specifically recall I should pull up.
It was in the it was in the indictment.
Um I got it here somewhere in my pile, but it's it's irrelevant.
It is a firearm.
He wasn't eligible to get it.
Uh he was you know, we look, we the pictures alone to me, and I tried to make this out to this crazy leftist caller in the last hour.
You know, uh the pictures speak volumes.
You know, he's there, he's naked, he's got the gun in his hand, you know, and he's hanging out in hotel rooms, you know, smoking crack and hanging out with hookers.
Not exactly a safe environment for a firearm, you think?
Well, and here's the point is that if I'm Hunter Biden and my dad is the second most powerful person in the world, because I think his dad was VP when he had this weapon.
Why do I need a firearm?
And nobody from the media has bothered to ask why did Hunter need a gun?
Because he's got the protection of the Secret Service.
Why didn't the Secret Service step in if he needed protection?
the only other thing I can think of is if he planned on using it on another human being.
I don't know if he had Secret Service protection at the time.
I know he had some because when the gun was put in the dumpster, thankfully found by a good Samaritan who handed it over to the police, uh the issues about the Secret Service potential involvement in that came up.
I I hope they didn't do anything to get involved, but putting that aside, um I'm he you know, certainly they weren't in the room.
I don't know what they know.
I don't.
And again, you would have had to have known that he purchased this firearm, and he is arm length away from world leaders and flying on airplanes.
Well, they also had to know that he was addicted to drugs.
I mean, you can't be around somebody that's using crack and not know it.
At least I don't think so.
Like look look, I I mean, it's just the whole thing is sad.
I mean, I know families you know, I I've had members of you know, not my immediate family, but uh people uh that I know my extended family that have had addiction problems, and it sucks.
I mean, there I've I've seen lives wasted and destroyed because of substance abuse.
I don't care if it's alcoholism, drug addiction, it's it's a terrible, terrible, insidious way to live.
You are a slave to whatever that substance you're addicted to is.
It's terrible.
Right.
But the thing is is when is he going to rehab?
And if he hasn't been there a number of times.
Why isn't he?
I I got great question.
But it does does it's irrelevant to actually as relates to the issue of law because he lied on the gun form.
And and this, you know what?
He was not in a he was not somebody that should be having a firearm in that condition.
If you're using those those drugs, it is not safe.
Period.
End of sentence.
Kind of simple.
Still want to know why he needed the gun in the first place.
Because he probably wanted it to be cool.
I don't know.
Don't buy a gun to be cool.
Buy a gun if you think if you want a firearm, get trained in the use of it.
That's my advice.
And you know what?
The greatest thing about I will tell you say this, and the NRA never got credit for this, but you know, they're great at it.
You know, people that are are marksmen, people that are gun enthusiasts.
If you're a novice and you want to learn how to safely own a weapon, a firearm, and and it's safe use of and safe storage of the the most generous people with their time are people that believe in the second amendment because they know it's in everybody's best interest not to have people that are not trained with firearms.
Um, you know, people ask me what kind of gun should I get?
Which one do you want to get trained in the safe use of?
I had this conversation with Linda when she was getting her first firearm.
Linda, you remember I went through all this with you.
Chapter and verse, and to your credit, you learned safety before you actually purchased your first weapon.
Yeah, I've actually done a lot of training.
You know, I did some with uh USCCA who used to be on the show.
I've practiced every day with Mantis X. Um, you know, Berna uh B Y RNA, our new sponsor, offer a ton of training exercise, and even though it's a non-lethal, less lethal firearm, you know, it's you have to practice.
You have to be smart.
You know, safety is the first rule of of owning a firearm.
I'll tell you the one thing Mantis X did for me, because I've been on radio 30 some odd years, you know, my my hearing loss, as you can attest to, is pretty acute.
And um I I just had to stop stop practicing because uh w I had one incident in which I was firing um shotguns and I had internal ear protection and external ear protection.
I really protected my ears, and I walked away and I had ringing in my ears for like three straight weeks, and I know other people that have had that.
It's it is the it is it'll drive you nuts.
And I was so grateful it went away.
I didn't fire my firearm since then.
Now, I've been a marksman since I'm a young kid, a pistol marksman.
So I wasn't worried about the safety and security and use of the weapon, if God forbid I need it, but I just didn't want to further injure my ears and and have the ringing remain permanent.
I what do they call tinninitis or something like that?
Yeah, it's tinninitis, and unfortunately, if you don't know these things, it's because you don't learn about them before you go and make your first purchase.
You know, these are important things to learn.
Like when you're purchasing your gun, okay, so what are next steps?
You Know, how do I take care of it?
What kind of safe can I buy?
What kind of uh, you know, uh biometrics are involved in like you know, the hand safes, fingerprint safes.
Like there's all different things you should be asking, and then you should be asking about how do I go and get trained and what do I do to protect my ears, my eyes, you know, etc.
How often should I be practicing?
You know, you don't want the first time you shoot your gun to be when somebody's in your bedroom saying hands up.
I mean, that's not the moment.
You know what I'm saying?
You're not gonna become good at like 30 seconds.
Uh not at all.
And and it's not a toy, I tell everybody, and even burner, you know, it's non-lethal.
But you know what?
You know, it's no joke.
If you're not familiar in the safe use of a firearm, and in this case, it's non-lethal.
You don't mess with it until you get somebody, find somebody, just go to a local range and just you know, ask.
Is there anybody I'd like to take a lesson?
I, you know, I just got this.
I've I got this as a gift.
I'm not trained in the use of it.
Is there anybody here that can give me a lesson?
And and you'd be shocked if you get on the range and you start asking questions.
I've been at ranges, and guys are like, you know, Hannity, you want to fire this weapon or that weapon.
I'm like, yeah, teach me about the weapon before I fire it.
I will tell you, my last self-defense class, I got the person through my pastor through my church.
I did they're the most generous people.
They will give you all the knowledge they've accumulated, they will take the time, and and by the time you, you know, you'll you'll then be, you know, a safe gun owner.
There's no reason for gun accidents.
Honestly, there really isn't.
If you if you really take the measures seriously, you're not gonna have an accident.
And that I can tell you.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Uh, we got a special tonight on Hannity.
Uh, so Mark Levin, the great one, is debuting his new book.
It's called The Democrat Party Hates America.
By the way, just the title is gonna make liberals' heads explode.
Anyway, we're gonna get into the great specificity and detail in this book.
Uh, I'll tell you one thing.
It is it is very comprehensive, uh, exhaustively researched, and you're gonna learn things you did not know about this Democratic Party.
Anyway, that's tonight.
