| Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| Alright, news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| Tollfree, let me give you our number. | |
| It's 800-941 Sean on this Friday if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Anyway, let's go back to yesterday, White House press room, uh Peter Deucy, Fox News asking Colleen Jean-Pierre about the issue of illegal immigrants. | |
| By the way, not only have they set a record this year over last year's record, over the previous year's record, you know, we're gonna have around eight million illegal immigrants in the country that Joe Biden's let in. | |
| Uh now we've also discovered that there's an app, a Joe Biden uh illegal immigration app, and they're just letting people sign up, and then they give them a choice of 43 U.S. cities that they can fly into from other countries. | |
| No vetting, no background checks, nothing. | |
| Anyway, here's Karine Jean-Pierre, not loving Peter Deucey yesterday. | |
| Thanks, Green. | |
| So what do you call it here at the White House when 10,000 people illegally cross the border in a single day? | |
| So what do you call it, Peter, when GOP puts forth a wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| No, you can't. | |
| I'm answering okay, we're gonna move. | |
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| We're moving on. | |
| You said you're calling the border. | |
| No, no. | |
| I tried to answer, Peter. | |
| I tried to answer the question, you stop me. | |
| Let's go. | |
| No, she tried to ask him a question to a duck and dodge and weave and and bob away from answering the question. | |
| Um and then and then she they they make this claim over and over and over again that the border is secure and there's order at the border. | |
| I am tired. | |
| I am tired of being lied to repeatedly. | |
| Listen. | |
| We have worked very hard. | |
| The president have worked very very hard to implement a strategy when it comes to the border that is humane, safe, and and has orderly enforcement. | |
| How many people coming into this country illegally is enough for President Biden say that last one? | |
| How many people come how many people illegally coming into the United States is enough for President Biden? | |
| Enough for what? | |
| 5.9 million people have been encountered illegally. | |
| I know the numbers, but enough for what? | |
| Just to stop the flow. | |
| As I mentioned, this is a problem that's been around for some time now, for decades. | |
| A broken system. | |
| And so we have taken actions. | |
| We have taken multiple actions. | |
| Uh, but again, this happens. | |
| It ebbs and flows. | |
| That's what we see at the border. | |
| Uh, for different trends, for different reasons. | |
| What the point that I'm making, and the point that I think you all uh have some of you have reported on, this is a president that has taken historic action on an issue uh on a system that has been broken for some time. | |
| Sounds to most folks like a crisis. | |
| Well, look, it's way down now. | |
| We've now gotten control of precisely that. | |
| The border is closed, nor could I have been clearer and continued to be so, which is the border is closed. | |
| The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. | |
| The border, um, we are working to make the border more secure. | |
| You're confident this border is secure. | |
| We have a secure border, and that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. | |
| We agree that uh the border is secure. | |
| It's like you see, you know, a young kid. | |
| You tell your kids don't Eat the cookies until after dinner. | |
| Then you come back in the kitchen and and you look at your kids' face and it's got nothing but chocolate chip cookies all over it. | |
| And you say, Well, why'd you eat the cookie? | |
| I didn't eat the cookies. | |
| I I mean, our uh our our eyes are not lying to us in what we're witnessing every single day down at that border. | |
| The border is wide open. | |
| It's not closed. | |
| Stop lying to us. | |
| You know, in f what we're enforcing the the laws, you're not enforcing anything. | |
| And then Biden yesterday, you know, tries to blame Trump and Republic. | |
| MAGA Republicans spent four years gutting the immigration system under my pred uh predecessor, and they continue to undermine our border security today. | |
| No, they don't. | |
| You're the one that that repealed every law that was working, and that's why under your administration, we're gonna have in three years eight million illegal immigrants. | |
| You were aiding and a betting getting into this country illegally. | |
| You know, the funniest thing though is in New York, uh New York State. | |
| You gotta love this. | |
| You know, now the governor's backed off, you know, ending uh what has been a decades uh law, the right to shelter. | |
| Meanwhile, the governor have been begging people, he played it in the last hour to come to New York and proud of the right to shelter. | |
| Well, not anymore, because in New York City alone is going to be twelve billion dollars in eighteen months. | |
| They estimate about forty thousand dollars per illegal immigrant for crying out loud. | |
| Well, uh, did we ever treat our vets this well? | |
| No. | |
| They ever get, you know, four star hotels? | |
| No. | |
| They ever get, you know, to take over ball fields at Randall's Island and other places around the city of New York? | |
| No. | |
| Anyway, the House GOP bill would defund the phone app. | |
| That's the latest discovery we've had. | |
| You know, rather than have the scene at the border, they don't like the images. | |
| They now have put out the Biden app that allows illegal immigrants. | |
| Oh no, just tell us when you'd like to fly in, and you can choose from these 43 U.S. locations to live in. | |
| Unreal. | |
| Anyway, joining us, Mr. New York himself, Mark Simona is uh with us, Joe Concha is also with us. | |
| Uh welcome both of you. | |
| Happy Friday. | |
| No, they all have phones now. | |
| Well, yeah, exactly. | |
| I mean, I guess maybe that's one savings we can have. | |
| When they get here, they don't need a new Biden phone on top of the food and shelter and water and health care and education that that we're gonna provide them also. | |
| Well, and again it it's costing us in New York. | |
| I the latest figure was ten thousand a week. | |
| Normally you got to be getting divorced from a hedge fund guy to get ten thousand a week in support. | |
| Here, all you have to do is be uh illegal. | |
| I I think that number is up to fifty thousand. | |
| I think you're a little behind the curve there, Mark, which may be why you're not married. | |
| Well, thank God for that. | |
| By the way, he is the this guy has more girlfriends than anyone we've ever met. | |
| I'm just saying for the sake of argument. | |
| Is that fair to say, Mark? | |
| I have no idea what you're talking about. | |
| I plead the Fifth Amendment here on this. | |
| Sean, you see Hugh Hefner of Hannity, all right? | |
| Let's face it. | |
| Oh man, that's cold, Joe. | |
| That is cold. | |
| Listen, any time I've ever been, maybe it's like it's a steakhouse out in Long Island. | |
| Anytime I've ever been there, and I mean it how do you say it any other way? | |
| It's a place where you know, people older people tend to go, meaning older 40s, 50s, whatever, and congregate in the hopes of meeting new people. | |
| Umly known as a pickup joint. | |
| But every time I've ever been there, Mark Simone, true or false, have I seen you there, and I'm not there that often. | |
| I don't know what this man is talking about, but I like the way you put it congregate. | |
| We're just uh congregating. | |
| That's it. | |
| Uh all right. | |
| We we're we're just we're just joshing with our friend Mark. | |
| Sorry, sorry I got I digressed there to such a degree. | |
| All right, this is your the city you love, the state you're gonna you you're proud to admit that you're never leaving New York, which I think is nuts. | |
| However, because I am leaving. | |
| I'm getting the hell out of here. | |
| However, uh, explain this to me. | |
| What why the sudden change by Hokel and Mayor Adams? | |
| Uh well uh this is liberals getting mugged by reality. | |
| So uh, you know, it sounds good on paper, these bleeding heart theories, but in reality, you see what happens. | |
| You know, it's like no bail, no jail, don't lock people. | |
| But then you see what happens. | |
| You get crime all over the streets. | |
| We're a sanctuary city. | |
| But then you see what happens. | |
| It costs you a fortune. | |
| Your whole city becomes a mess. | |
| The formerly uh glorious Roosevelt Hotel, you go by there now, there's laundry hanging out the window. | |
| It's just awful what's happened. | |
| Joe Biden, by the way, comes to New York for three days, is in a hotel two blocks away and never goes to see these migrants. | |
| Never meets with the mayor, never meets with the governor. | |
| Ducks the whole situation. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Amazing. | |
| And Joe, by the way, New York State Democrats, they're now pushing for an illegal immigrant tax, and they want to increase uh taxes uh as a matter of policy. | |
| Now, New York, you know, right behind California, the second highest tax state in the United States. | |
| You know, if you live in New York City like Mark does and loves New York City like Mark does, I do not live in the city, don't ever want to live in the city. | |
| Uh, but anyway, you pay, you know, you you're paying a total of thirteen and a half percent just just in income tax to the state, on top of the forty percent uh federal income tax. | |
| Never mind the property taxes, never mind the sales taxes, never mind the hidden taxes, never mind the if you sell your home mansion taxes. | |
| Never mind the fact that let's say you can't afford to buy a home because interest rates are through the roof. | |
| The average cost for a studio apartment in New York City is now more than three thousand dollars a month. | |
| That's a studio. | |
| You don't even get a bedroom with a studio, you're basically sleeping in your living room. | |
| Couple things to unpack here. | |
| As far as the political fallout is concerned, Sean. | |
| You're looking at polls now. | |
| The last five polls regarding support for Donald Trump among blacks and among Hispanics. | |
| He's at twenty percent among blacks. | |
| Republicans don't get out of the single digits when it comes to black support. | |
| He's now more than doubling it. | |
| It's not one poll. | |
| I'm not doing an outlier, I'm talking about the last my poll. | |
| He's also at 42% among Hispanics. | |
| If these numbers hold, you're looking at a landslide in 2024 because these two groups in particular have had enough. | |
| They don't like the fact that illegals are coming in and taking jobs that they would normally have, making their city more dirty, crime going up, obviously. | |
| This isn't about Democrat or Republic anymore. | |
| This goes across party lines because it affects people directly, it affects their families directly, and the worst part is it looks intentional because it is intentional. | |
| And if you're gonna raise taxes so you could pay for all these illegals to be in your city or in your town or in your state, because you're facing in New York's case, a twelve billion dollar deficit as a result of this one issue alone. | |
| You think there's an exodus out of New York now to Tennessee and Florida and Texas? | |
| Forget about it. | |
| All the money is gonna leave and all that revenue is gonna leave. | |
| And the only people are gonna be left stick stuck with the bill at a lower middle class. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, how do you like this this new policy, the Biden app that allows people to come in illegally and and they even pay for the the private jet that they charter to fly them in from other countries, and they give them a choice of forty-three locations. | |
| Now, we don't know if there's any background checks. | |
| Uh we certainly don't believe that there's any uh any cost involved or any, you know, means testing whether or not these people are going to be able to afford food, clothing, shelter, health care, education. | |
| We have no idea, Mark Simone. | |
| I would assume that w whatever location they end up at or they choose to go to, courtesy of Joe and Kamala, uh, that they're gonna end up having the taxpayers of the country and then that state and locale uh pay for all this. | |
| Well, this is the hypocrisy and the chaos democrats are famous for. | |
| They're gonna uh I mean there must be some master plot reason why they're doing all this. | |
| It's uh the total uh just degradation of everything from the law enforcement in cities to the border. | |
| You know, as watching Zelensky in Washington, Schumer, McConnell, Biden, they couldn't hand them billions and billions fast enough to secure his border, tanks, anything to secure his border. | |
| Our border, they leave wide open, they won't even give them a dollar fifty for our border. | |
| It's absolutely ridiculous. | |
| All right, quick break. | |
| We'll come back more final hour free-for-all with Mark Simone and Joe Concho on the other side. | |

| All right, we continue with Joe Concha, Mark Simone, 800-941-SHAWN. | |
| Our number will get to your calls in a minute. | |
| So now we know it's intentional. | |
| They're not they're the and they're not hiding it anymore, but then they just outright lie to us. | |
| Oh, the borders closed. | |
| No, no, no, no. | |
| We the borders secure. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| I don't like being lied to, Joe Concha. | |
| And you know, and and why isn't the media your pals in the media, although you are the only media reporter that actually stands alone and apart, which is why you should have your own media show on the Fox News channel, my humble opinion, but nobody listens to me. | |
| Um you know, how is that possible in your view? | |
| Well, we saw today, Peter Jucey, who's another good journalist, right? | |
| He then asked Corine Jean-Pierre the question again, what does 10,000 people crossing over the U.S. border per day look like to this administration? | |
| And she had the audacity, and you're right, use the L word here. | |
| Lie. | |
| She blamed the Trump administration. | |
| We inherited a broken system and a broken border. | |
| No, you didn't. | |
| And then she actually accused Republicans for wanting to defund Department of Homeland Security? | |
| I mean, this isn't like spinning things a little bit and finessing the facts. | |
| These are outright blatant lies. | |
| And what happened during that press briefing? | |
| Did one other reporter follow up on Deucey's question and say, wait a minute. | |
| What you're saying here is not true. | |
| How back it up, please, with facts and figures. | |
| No one does. | |
| They move on to other topics that obviously are favorable to Democrats because they're not journalists anymore, Sean, they're activists. | |
| They really are. | |
| It's pretty amazing. | |
| Uh, do you believe how do you both analyze Mark? | |
| I'll ask you first how the Republicans have handled this issue of a potential government shutdown in eight days. | |
| Uh to me, I think they should have gotten started much earlier, sometime in June and July, and I said so publicly and said so privately to some people. | |
| And of course, as usual, they wait till the last minute and and they can't even agree to advance a bill to the floor to add amendments to it for crying out loud. | |
| Yeah, well, uh bad uh part of this is you can't trust anybody in Washington on government spending. | |
| Republicans aren't just not great on it. | |
| They're better than Democrats, but it's a disaster. | |
| They try to frighten you. | |
| What will happen if the covenant shuts down? | |
| Uh probably exactly what happened the last 47 times it shut down. | |
| You know, it shuts down uh tonight for the whole weekend. | |
| It's it shuts down all the time. | |
| We've been through these a million times. | |
| Same thing always happens. | |
| They'll go reach some sort of compromise. | |
| But when it comes to spending billions, which means giving it to donors, I I don't trust either side on this to get it done right. | |
| Yeah, I don't trust him either. | |
| Uh Joe, let's get your take. | |
| Don't trust the media on this either, because obviously fear is the greatest motivator. | |
| Fear sells, it gets you clicked. | |
| It can't catch you ratings. | |
| And to Mark's point, when the government shuts down, the way the media portrays it is that oh my god, no one's manning the nuclear silos. | |
| Or your police, if you call 911, no one's gonna be the fixed phone. | |
| It doesn't really affect almost anybody outside of federal employees. | |
| So the way Republicans have handled it, I I agree with Mark and I agree with you. | |
| This should have been done a long time ago. | |
| Instead, they wait to procrastinate to the last minute, and now they're gonna reach some sort of agreement, probably where they just kick the can down the road, and we're talking about government shutdowns a month, six months, a year from now. | |
| Lather, rinse, repeat, Sean. | |
| If that if that's the case, that is a major fail on their part. | |
| That's I think we would all agree on that. | |
| Uh anyway, 800 941 Shauna's a number. | |
| Thank you, Joe Concha. | |
| Thank you, Mark Simone. | |
| Uh 800 941 Sean, as I said.com. | |

| A lot has been made over Howard Stern's comments, proudly admitting that he's woke. | |
| Let's play these comments. | |
| I kind of take that as a compliment that I'm woke. | |
| I'll tell you how I um feel about it. | |
| To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep. | |
| And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I'm for the vaccine. | |
| Dude, call me woke as you want. | |
| I'm not for stupidity. | |
| I am woke. | |
| And I love it. | |
| He's woke, and he's love it. | |
| Loves it. | |
| Um Linda's way more passionate about this than I am. | |
| My attitude is okay. | |
| He's great broadcaster. | |
| Uh the one thing I would say is this is signature Howard in one sense is that him he's being just totally completely transparent and honest. | |
| I like that. | |
| I think his definition of woke is way off the mark, but that's another topic for another day. | |
| I don't care whether he likes Trump or not. | |
| Uh most conservatives that I know don't care about adults transitioning into whatever they want to transition to. | |
| But they don't want their children indoctrinated in schools into gender identity, especially considering we fail so miserably at educating our our kids about reading, m writing, math, science, history, computers, the things they're gonna need in life. | |
| And I don't think you should have a political agenda at school and values imposed on kids that contradict the values of their parents. | |
| May shock Howard. | |
| Many many parents, you know, have very different uh views uh on how they want to raise their kids, and maybe he does. | |
| And if you believe in freedom, okay, that should be the parents' responsibility. | |
| Shouldn't have to have kids indoctrinated in a classroom on that issue on the vaccine. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I feel like I'm following the science. | |
| What has the science been telling us that everything we were told in the beginning about if you got the shot shots, boosters, that you'd never get COVID. | |
| False. | |
| That if in fact you um if you if you never can get COVID, that means you'll never transmit it. | |
| False masks, you gotta wear a mask. | |
| Well, there's two massive studies that have come out in the last month saying that they didn't do a thing. | |
| Anthony Fauci's on tape. | |
| Masks aren't gonna work. | |
| Said that in March of 2020. | |
| Then that evolved in you gotta wear a mask, wear a mask, wear a mask, wear a mask. | |
| Everyone's wearing masks, and then double masking talked about. | |
| And then maybe wearing masks in perpetuity. | |
| And now he's admitting again that well, maybe they won't work, but I'd still wear them anyway. | |
| Well, there's a good reason. | |
| That's science. | |
| You know, the only science that I saw that was effective in any way were uh, you know, some type of therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies. | |
| But this has why are you so worked up? | |
| Why do you even care? | |
| I guess it's just it's one of those things where j like for right now is a perfect example, right? | |
| So you're talking and you're saying, you know, it's fine, he's passionate, he's transparent. | |
| I mean, I'm gonna call BS on all of that. | |
| I don't think he's any of those things. | |
| I think that he is egregiously hungry for attention as his star fades because he has gone so far from where he began with his audience. | |
| And I'm sure he has diehard fans and they'll stay with him, but he really has crossed. | |
| Once he started doing the TV show and he was with a big mainstream network, he just kept going more and more left. | |
| And I think you know, if you're gonna come out and you're gonna say things like, uh, you know, I hate anti-vaxxers. | |
| I'm like, well, that's not really what people who don't believe in the COVID vaccine. | |
| Well, I didn't like all those people shaming people that made a different decision than they did. | |
| Remember when Joe Rogan and you know said that he threw everything at COVID when he got COVID. | |
| I think he said he used H uh CQ, and by the way, there have been many studies that show that hydroxychloroquine taken early does mitigate sys uh symptoms, starting with the Henry uh Ford Hospital study and then other subsequent studies as well. | |
| Uh I've never seen a study that that showed anything with Ivermectin. | |
| I've not seen that study. | |
| Monoclonal antibodies, I know for a fact worked. | |
| Uh that was the one therapeutic that worked. | |
| But you know, when when Robert Malone, who's the guy that came up with the technology for the MRNA vaccine, and and we interviewed him, and when Rogan interviewed him, you know, everybody went absolutely nuts. | |
| They lost their minds. | |
| This is what you wouldn't have had Pfizer Moderna without him, and he was saying no, it's not perfected technology yet. | |
| He said that. | |
| Yeah, but see, but see, so here's one other thing though. | |
| He's he also said that, however, I would still use it for people that are 65 and older, because this was a disease that tended to affect older people or people with comorbidities or people that were obese, uh pre-existing conditions, but but not anyone else. | |
| Right, but at that time he said that. | |
| Now he's like, I don't even know what's going on with these vaccines. | |
| They haven't been used in the way that they said they were being used. | |
| They're not being formulated in the way that they're being formulated. | |
| And there's a lot of people out there that are now getting these very strange, like the myocarditis or the uh super cancers, you know, these sort of like exacerbated things that they've never seen before. | |
| And Harvey Rish, who's been on our show a bunch of times, you know, this is somebody who has, you know, an expertise in studying all these various diseases, and Malone and Rish and McCullough and Tyson and you know Farid and all these people who are at the top of their game running universities and doing all these studies their entire life has been dedicated to doing studies. | |
| And in one fell swoop, the FDA comes in and says, absolutely not. | |
| All of you are crazy. | |
| Now they're fighting for their medical licenses. | |
| They have governors silencing them. | |
| I'm like, I've never seen such an oppression of free speech, free thought. | |
| Right. | |
| So when you're trying to silence a people and separate them from each other and just kill the conversation. | |
| Why did I bring up COVID with this? | |
| Because now you're going off on COVID. | |
| Sorry. | |
| But anyways, Howard Stern is one of those people who could have an actual conversation and say, okay, for example, like when when a liberal gets on, I mean, you're not always the easiest to talk to, you know, when it comes to liberals, you kind of shot them down. | |
| But every once in a while you'll have a real conversation and you're like, okay, but no, really, what do you think? | |
| Like Stern's not even having that conversation. | |
| He's name calling, he's saying they're stupid, they're anti-vaxxers, they're not anti-vaxxers. | |
| I'm sure most of those people have their MMRs. | |
| I'm sure most of those people are perfectly fine, even maybe getting a flu vaccine. | |
| But it's not a big thing. | |
| Why isn't he impressed with the idea that the original promise was you'll never get COVID? | |
| Why would why does it be a good idea? | |
| Because that doesn't support his narrative. | |
| You know, it's like when he says, if woke means I don't support Trump. | |
| No, that's not what it means. | |
| Woke and Trump have nothing to do with each other. | |
| That just helps your narrative and helps you to support yourself and your BS point of view because you don't actually have anything to say. | |
| Well, I want to know, does he think it's appropriate to to teach kids uh in school about issues involving gender identity? | |
| Now, that study just came out. | |
| Do you know there wasn't one kid in thirteen Baltimore high schools that was proficient in math again? | |
| They we've been talking about this for years, and they still haven't improved the system. | |
| Uh listen, they you got Kamala Harris coming out today talking about doing bills against gun violence. | |
| And she's out there and she's saying, Oh, yeah, we've got this awesome gun bill. | |
| I'm like, you know what? | |
| When you actually start going after the guns that are killing people, which are not law-abiding gun, you know, people that are going out and getting their two-A and you know, getting their concealed carry and going in for like the Mantis X training or getting a burner so it's less lethal before lethal. | |
| Those are the people you're going after. | |
| You know, the guys in Chicago that are killing each other, you know, the NAACP says you can't go to Florida, but they don't say anything about Chicago. | |
| There's way more black people dying in Chicago, but they don't care about that. | |
| Well, it would attack Pritzker. | |
| I think the list that comes out every year that mentions me that I have uh a pistol carry permit in New York. | |
| Um, I think he's always on that list. | |
| I miss was always on the list. | |
| Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. was always on the list. | |
| I'm pretty sure Howard was too. | |
| All right, let me get to the phone. | |
| But how sad is that? | |
| I mean, you know what I mean? | |
| And Howard Stern's not out there having an honest conversation about any of this crap. | |
| Once he was sucking up to Hillary and and one day I tuned in and I'm like, I heard him sucking up to Lena Dunman Dunham, whatever her name is. | |
| Oh, what a horrible person. | |
| I don't know if she's a horrible person. | |
| I'm like, She's pretty horrible. | |
| You read that book? | |
| Well, I didn't read the book. | |
| No. | |
| I'm like, I just it that bad. | |
| It's pretty bad. | |
| Gee, I'm sorry I don't have time for that. | |
| Uh South Carolina Williams, Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Hi. | |
| Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call. | |
| I gotta give kudos to Linda. | |
| That was an um uh an amazing discourse on Howard redefining wokeness and then uh the stuff on the vaccine, she's right on she's spot on. | |
| But listen, I don't do you even care that he's woke. | |
| I don't care. | |
| I but first of all, I don't have time to listen to his show very much. | |
| Um I do know my friends that grew up with Howard, they're so disappointed. | |
| I mean, they talk about it a lot. | |
| They're like they they cannot believe what's happened to him. | |
| And I get and that I I think is what he was responding to. | |
| And I'm like, well, yeah, I guess people change. | |
| I don't know what changed them, but he is what he is, and you know, you don't have to listen to any of us. | |
| We have to earn your listenership every day. | |
| No, and I don't listen to him, so I don't really care. | |
| But uh Linda was great. | |
| The uh the thing is, how dumb is Joe Biden? | |
| Joe Biden worked with Hillary Clinton. | |
| Think about it, right? | |
| Hillary's with Secretary of State, laundering money through the Clinton Foundation, the global what, the Clinton Global Initiative. | |
| How did Biden not take a page out of her book? | |
| She was they were able to, you know, launder hundreds of millions. | |
| And and Biden does all this behind the scene in show companies when Hillary taught him exactly how to do it. | |
| Well and then when you hit the the they said that uh remember reading stuff that uh the foundation, they spent over ninety percent of it on themselves and administration costs. | |
| Flying and trips and hotels and I mean that that's the template right there. | |
| Even uh Menendez from New Jersey, he should have followed his cohort. | |
| Yeah, it's interesting. | |
| Uh, for whatever reason they don't like Menendez. | |
| Last time he got indicted, he well he was acquitted in that case. | |
| Uh let me just give you a little connection. | |
| His attorney was Abby Lowell. | |
| Who's Abby Lowell? | |
| He's now Hunter Biden's attorney. | |
| He's also Abbey Lowell, the guy that got off John Edwards. | |
| And I've said this before, so people manage their expectations. | |
| This is a serious lawyer, uh, one of the very few that that's capable of winning cases like this. | |
| I don't know if he's taken on Menendez again, but if he does, Menendez's odds of acquittal would go through the roof compared to where they probably are now. | |
| Anyway, appreciate the call. | |
| Lorraine in Connecticut. | |
| Hey Lorraine, how are you? | |
| I'm good, thanks. | |
| What's going on? | |
| For taking this call. | |
| So I'm pretty much going to change the subject. | |
| Um I watched an episode of Life Liberty and Lavin. | |
| Thank me. | |
| Mark Levin. | |
| The great one. | |
| This point off regarding Democrat Party hates America. | |
| It's a great book. | |
| I just got it in uh uh Amazon. | |
| I just received it. | |
| Well, I think you're gonna like it and learn a lot. | |
| You'll learn a lot about the history of the Democratic Party. | |
| Yes, it might give me nightmares. | |
| So um so what he spoke about was reading some of the rules. | |
| Say, for example, he likes to read the Constitution and he likes to read the judicial code of conduct. | |
| So regarding the special appointment for the special counselor, which is handling the Hunter Biden and Biden family um the syndicate, yeah. | |
| His point is that the what is written is this that the special counter should not be coming from being com being a government employee. | |
| They should be appointed from outside of the government. | |
| And why my question is this? | |
| You have people on like Jim Jordan and Jamie, I forgot his last name. | |
| And you have opportunity to question that, and everyone's letting this point that you know, the great Levan brought up, they're letting that point go by. | |
| And how many days is are we gonna continue allowing this to like they always rule over us, Republicans? | |
| Come on. | |
| Look, the Republican Party, we're gonna learn a lot about them, uh, probably by the you know, in the next eight days. | |
| We'll know next week, you know, how strong they're gonna stand on the issue of fiscal responsibility, border security. | |
| There's a lot writing on this for them, in my view. | |
| You know, the the problem is with a four seat majority and de and Republicans now even threatening to go along with a quote, clean CR with Democrats. | |
| Um, I don't I don't even know if I don't even know if the votes are gonna be there, which is really, really pathetic. | |
| And I put the onus on them, but also they should have gotten these appropriations bills done so that they could have voted on them individually. | |
| Anyway, appreciate it, Lorraine. | |
| Ever think about all right, who protects the troops that protect us? | |
| Well, we can. | |
| Now, imagine you're serving halfway around the world somewhere in some godforsaken place, and you learn the title to your home. | |
| That's the legal document that proves that you own your home has been forged and it's not in your name anymore. | |
| Well, we can't let that happen. | |
| Anyway, home title lock dot com. | |
| Uh, it's home title theft. | |
