News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.
Thank you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, with all that is going on and, you know, the absolute, you know, back and forth disaster on immigration within the administration today, on top of everything else that we have been discussing and debating and who's going to be the next speaker and so on and so forth, all Joe Biden seems to be fixated on is Ukraine.
Now, we just accumulated well I told you yesterday, in one day alone.
Remember, it was a big deal just a couple of weeks ago.
3.3, I'm sorry, 33 trillion dollars in debt.
A new record all-time high.
We're now at almost 33 and a half and next to no time, because they added another what, 275 billion one day alone and in in spending that they don't have the money for.
Now, I've been pointing out that America should not be giving a penny to Ukraine until Europe, the continent on which this war is being waged, until those countries step up and do their fair share.
But they have not had they've not felt the need to.
Because Joe wants another hundred billion dollars to go, you know, into Ukraine.
But of course, he's had restrictions and handcuffs on the Ukrainian army and Zelensky and their ability to fight to actually win the war by denying, you know, MIGs that Poland had offered early on, and oh, we can't have cluster bombs and we can't have this.
I mean, okay, what's the point of engaging in any conflict if you have no intention of winning it?
If that's the one thing we've learned from Afghanistan, that would be a lesson that would serve us well for long periods of time.
I definitely sympathize with the people of Ukraine.
Uh, I am sorry for what this this maniacal madman, evil, murdering dictator thug in Russia has done.
Uh, I hope and pray that he is soon deposed and uh gets the justice he deserves.
But this is no way for America to be spending its money without any accountability at all whatsoever.
And people around Zelensky, just to be fair, they have been involved in the corruption and abuse of monies that have been sent to them.
Well, that should piss off every taxpayer.
But Joe Biden is all he's worried about is because of the delay and having a speaker.
Well well, he might not be able to give more money, the 100 billion dollars more to Ukraine.
The disarray on Capitol Hill after your conversation with allies yesterday worry you that you won't be able to deliver the aid of the U.S. is promised to Ukraine.
It does worry me.
And but I know there are a majority of members of the House and Senate in both parties who have said that they support funding Ukraine.
With your uh I'm gonna be announcing very shortly a major speech I'm gonna make on this issue and why it's critically important for the United States and our allies that we keep our commitment.
How about is it very critical that European countries step up and protect their own continent?
Just a thought, maybe old-fashioned, if nothing else.
Uh anyway, we welcome back a friend of the program, Alex Marlowe's with us.
He's the editor-in-chief of Brightpart News.
Uh, and he's recently written a book, uh, a bestseller called Breaking Biden, exposing the hidden forces and secret money machine behind Joe Biden, his family and his administration.
Uh, sir, good to have you back.
Thanks for being with us.
Uh Sean, it is so great to speak to you and your incredibly powerful audience.
All right, you you go into a lot and and we've been doing a deep dive, and I know you guys have as well, um, into all things I'm calling it the Joe Biden corruption and money laundering scandal allegations.
And, you know, there have been people that have been critical of uh, for example, what the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith has been doing, and James Comer in the House Oversight and Accountability uh Committee, Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee have done, but what they have done is they have exposed things we never knew before, and the walls I would say are closing in very, very tightly on this Biden family syndicate.
You talk a lot in the book and expose a lot of the secret cadre of consultants that actually are running Joe Biden's Washington.
Well, I don't think many people listening to the show believe it's him, so who who is running it?
Yeah, I actually am in the rear group that think that Joe Biden is in charge.
And I think he's in charge because he's established this system over the last fifty years where he all he has to do is move the levers and he knows where they are, he knows how to operate them.
And that explains how a guy that doesn't seem to have any natural political gifts or really any great affiliation for this country or any deep ideology uh why he's gotten so much done for the left.
It's because he does know what he's doing, and I think we in the right sometimes fall for a trap uh that he's just some sort of a puppet.
Well, you mentioned Afghanistan.
He went completely alone in Afghanistan.
Uh he went against all the generals, everyone knew his strategy was terrible.
He still went for it anyway, and it was the biggest disaster uh in recent memory in this country.
Thirteen American service members died.
Uh, he droned a car full of children and somehow got away with it, or I guess he didn't personally do it, but you know, it's his responsibility.
Um Sean, uh you mentioned Ukraine.
Uh i d if you don't mind, uh, I have a chapter in the book I've not had a chance to talk about with anyone where No, you do.
You talk about and expose Biden's undeniable role in in Russia's invasion.
This is an interesting uh why do you believe that?
Uh so going through it in the book and I document it in i it incredible detail, I teamed with a group of five researchers who had all worked on number one best uh best sellers from our friend Peter Schweitzer uh at GAI.
And uh we went through detail after detail after um going through the history of the Ukraine Russia relationship and Biden's role in it.
And he time and again missed opportunities to de escalate and pursued a a foreign policy that no doubt tempted Putin to invade.
First of all, he started off by cutting off the U.S. oil.
Um I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cutting off oil uh in at home enables Putin.
His minor incursion line, which I know your audience knows well, uh, was a signal to Putin that there'd be American weakness, trying to revive the JCPOA Iran deal, uh empowered Putin on the world stage.
If you go back to the Obama Biden policy, all of it helped build up the Russian economy from the New START Treaty, uh to the Skokova, where they had essentially created a place to transfer military tech to Russia.
And then time and again he ignored the most crucial thing, which is that Putin's always had a red line.
That any uh the entertaining of the idea that Ukraine joins NATO, then Putin invades.
She did it in Georgia, she did again in Crimea.
Every time there's talk of that, he invades.
And Biden allowed Brzeelensky to keep doing that.
She was out there saying we're joining NATO, we're joining NATO, and he did nothing to de escalate.
In fact, he escalated Sean by putting Victoria Newland, who's a known Russophobe, in charge.
And you ask, What uh what what's the point of all this?
Well, all of Biden's buddies in Washington, in the deep state, they're all part of this sort of military industrial complex where they leave the government.
They work for defense contractors.
That's where all of our money stops off before it gets to Ukraine.
It goes to these defense contractors.
They're in the Russia-Ukraine war business.
This is the math that no one's done.
Well, I mean, that's pretty significant math, I think, in every way.
Let me and I think p it's important that our audience understands this, because that's where his priorities are.
It's not to secure our border.
Uh, you know, the idea, oh, we're building a wall today, we're gonna uh rescind all these environmental restrictions, but border walls don't work, and and the monies were appropriated during the Trump years, and I have to do it, but I I waited three years to do it, but I they didn't have to lift the environmental regulations.
They could have fought that in court to the end of his administration if they wanted.
They're just lying.
They just won't admit everything they've been telling us heretofore has been a lie.
Uh the border, they've said is closed.
It's not closed.
Uh the border's secure.
It's not secure.
Uh every American knows they're being lied to, and probably the most effective thing that has happened is these Republican governors like Abbott and DeSantis and some others have said, okay, you're a sanctuary city or state.
Here you go.
You take 'em.
And now all of a sudden they are they're squealing about it and and livid about it and making demands and Biden's not responsive.
How interesting it is when it's in your own backyard.
Let me go to the issue though of the Biden crime family.
Because you you're right.
You take this, you know, uh an inch deeper from all the great work that Peter Schweitzer uh and the government accountability institute has done.
They have done a phenomenal job.
I did the first interview when his book came out, Secret Empires, and wow, it is become more true than and he would tell you this than he even thought, and he was dead on accurate from the beginning.
Do you believe the walls are now closing in on this syndicate?
As a result of these three committees, do you believe the the ways and means committee, judiciary committee, oversight committee?
Do you believe now that they have sufficiently collected as of now enough evidence that could be a prima facie case in terms of bribery, money laundering for Biden, Joe Biden himself, and the family.
Absolutely I do.
And we've got two things working for us.
Uh first of all, we have the precedent, because Joe Biden gave it to us on tape with Barisma, that they are willing to he was willing to change U.S. policy in exchange for his family, not necessarily him.
We might not get the picture of him but the foam check about the bribery statute does not require any benefit or of official action taken for the benefit of a family member.
That fits the statute.
I think so.
And you've got case after case where there's money going directly to the family and Joe's policy is changing.
The clearest one is Burisma, but when we start looking into the other countries, China in particular, when the investigations conclude, as we go through them, we're gonna see evidence that Joe Biden and his family, maybe not Joe literally, but his family members are still retaining massive equity stakes in companies around the world, particularly in China, and Joe's administration is doing everything he can to protect the interests of those companies.
But it's not just gonna be China and Ukraine, it's gonna be other places.
I've in the book, uh Joe uh and his family doing business in Kazakhstan, in Iraq, Costa Rica, Jamaica.
The Bidens are all around the world, and this is why I don't like the idea of underestimating them.
They're quite crafty in their ability to come up with creative ways to sell the American I don't know if they've been crafty so much as they've been protected, and they've been protected by the deep state.
They've been protected by a weaponized department of justice and FBI.
They've been protected because those those those areas have been politicized.
I don't think they're particularly clever because they didn't really hide it.
I mean, he's actually out there on tape bragging about it.
Hunter does the dumbest interview I've ever heard a fifty some odd year old man ever give on Good Morning America, admitting he had no experience in energy, oil, coal, uh, or Ukraine.
Well, why are you paid all this money?
I don't know.
Um maybe because of your father?
Probably.
And you know, he's getting, you know, all this energy money from China, CEFC, Ukraine, Barisma, their their oil and gas giant.
So I don't I don't know if they're so crafty, it's just that nobody they've they've just gotten a pass because they're Democrats.
Uh I think you do touch on something.
I think the extent to which they've been able to cut deals all over the world and evade scrutiny.
Uh I I I do think that they've been more sophisticated than uh I think some of us uh have uh lead on in conservative media, Sean, but your point is well taken.
Uh particularly with regards to Joe getting busted on tape with Barisma.
And that story's been furthered.
We now know that Joe went directly contrary to the Secretary to the uh State Department.
The State Department said the prosecutor who Joe got fired and bragged about it, was doing a good job.
So we know that is materially U.S. policy changing thanks to Joe's family making money.
It's on tape, dead to rights.
And you the DOJ not pursuing that is a total dereliction of responsibility.
And that's why these committees that are happening right now are so important, because we know the bribes are out there.
We just gotta go on earth them.
Quick break, we'll come right back.
We'll continue.

So Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue with Alex Marlowe, editor-in-chief, Bright Bart News.
Let's talk to, I mean, I think one of the biggest betrayals of the American people, and it's the lifeblood of the the world's economy, and that's energy.
And here they're making all of this money and energy.
And yet, you know, look at what they're trying to do and the costs they're putting on American families.
First of all, you're pay more for oil and you know, to heat and cool your home and gas.
You pay more to pay uh fill up your gas tank, and every product you buy and every store you go to costs more to get it there.
That means you pay more for that too.
It takes more energy to produce it, more c energy costs.
So, but it doesn't seem to matter when it comes to the environment when it comes to lining their pockets with millions and millions of dollars.
Uh to me, it's a great hypocrisy.
We have to, you know, now consider getting electric vehicles that the American people have just roundly rejected.
They don't want them.
These windmills are not affected, uh, effective.
They have not perfected this technology.
Um, and you know, the they now they want us to, you know, update our homes and make it more energy efficient and friendly and and get rid of our old appliances and replace them with appliances that suck that we don't want.
That's right.
Actually, the the longest chapter in the book, believe it or not, is on Joe's energy policy, and I had to cut it down from where it was, because you could really do an entire investigation into the corruption in the way he handled energy.
And he starts from the pro from the premise that some uh good that will never be able to see Sean a hundred years from now is better and more important than America thriving today.
Even if that compromises our national security, even if it means life is more expensive and more difficult for normal Americans.
She does not have your priorities at heart.
His priorities are the Green Left and the Globalist Lap.
He's not even looking at Americans, he's looking at the whole world.
But once you start digging into the details, you start seeing the connections to the family members making money.
One of the best examples is Fisco, which is a uh automotive company that ended up buying this plant that was in Delaware that was important to Joe.
Uh and they were building electric cars.
They got tons of tax incentives to do it.
The company went bankrupt not before Hunter, though, got one of these sisters that was worth 125 grand.
And his Rosemont business ended up being one of the uh investors and then a bankruptcy creditor for the company.
And since then, the company's been sold to the Chinese.
So you start seeing these patterns that go deeper than just he has a stinky energy policy.
It's so much corruption is inside of it.
It's pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, great to talk to you.
Uh Alex, it's been frankly too long.
Uh Alex had released a new book called Breaking Biden exposing the hidden forces and secret money machine behind Joe Biden.
Uh of course he is also the editor in chief of Breitbart News.
Uh sir, good to hear your voice.
Thanks for being with us.
Hope all's well.
Sean, thanks so much.
The media's trying to suppress this book, so I can't think you enough for giving it to me.
Well, what a shock.
The media's in the media hates conservatives.
Uh and I'm not being sarcastic here.
Just it's it's our reality.
Standing up for what's right with America.
We're back on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the uh program.
Want to remind you about the mission of preborn.com slash Sean, that's Sean S. E. A. N. You know, a lot of women find themselves uh with an unexpected pregnancy, and pre-born clinics are all around the country.
I've always said abortion is a heart issue.
Uh frankly, the more it's out of the political arena the better.
And what's really amazing is what the way they approach uh the issue of abortion is because any expecting mom can get a free 4D ultrasound.
And what they're finding through the use of science and the 4D ultrasound is that more and more women are choosing life uh once they are introduced to a beating heart, and once they can see facial features and count fingers and count toes and see the miracle of birth literally before their eyes, uh thanks to this, you know, advancing technology.
And it's amazing the impact they have.
They also help expecting moms with free counseling, uh post-birth, if they need baby formula, diapers, counseling, whatever they need, they're there for them.
Uh the only difference between pre-born and say a group like Planned Parenthood is they don't get a penny from the federal government.
They rely on the support of people that believe in the sanctity of life.
Uh I recently donated two 4D ultrasound machines to their facilities.
They desperately need help because they want to continue this mission, and uh and they're having a great impact on the lives of so many people.
Anyway, uh just out Pound two fifty, say the keyword baby, pound two fifty keyword baby, or check out their website.
It's preborn.com slash Sean.
That's preborn.com slash Sean S E A N. So we're gonna be joined by Laura Trump in a second here.
Now, by the way, her husband is once again and will be for the next number of months, you know, in court before this idiotic judge on this issue of the Trump family Trump organization.
Now we do have uh a lot we're gonna talk about.
I want to talk about another issue first, and that is so Laura Trump, she doesn't want to change her career.
She's got a great, great podcast that's very successful.
Uh she's she's often on TV.
She's a phenomenal commentator, uh, host of her own show now, and she's doing very, very well, but she also loves music.
Anyway, so I'm reading one day in the paper and I see, oh, Laura Trump cut uh uh a version of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
And then anyway, so they decide to buy a billboard and and this way kind of get the word out.
Billboards in Times Square in New York City are a lot of money.
They're not cheap.
Um I've had my face up there, people throw eggs at it.
And um, which I'm very proud of.
Um that that makes me know that I I have the right enemies.
But putting that aside, then all of a sudden, two days before the billboard's about to go up, they give her a call.
And they say, uh, yeah, um, we're not gonna put it up quite the way we agreed to put it up, or you know, we we're we're not gonna put your name up there.
And she's like, well, what's the point?
You know, The whole point is to let people know that Laura Trump cut a new single and she wants people to hear it and hopefully like it and buy it.
You know, it's not going to be her forever career.
She's told me that herself.
She'll tell you in a second.
However, it's it's kind of cool.
I love risk taking.
I never s dare sing a song, although I've done it on stage many times with Charlie Daniels back in the day with singing the devil and down at Georgia.
There's many versions of it on YouTube that remind me of how bad I am.
But anyway, here's just a piece of uh of her version of I won't back down.
And I won't back down I won't let me Hey, baby There ain't no easy way out I won't let me Hey, I Stand around And I won't back down All right, Laura Trump joins us now.
Um anyway, so here's the really cool thing.
We brought this up on TV last night.
She was on Hannity, the TV show.
And I'm very proud to tell you she woke up and she wrote me this morning and she goes, You're not gonna believe this.
I said, Why?
She goes, uh, after I went on your show last night, it's number two in all of country music around the country.
It's number nine in all of music in the country.
You know, once people discovered that the song, they liked it, and they're buying it on on pretty much well, every platform that's allowing the song to even be sold because not every platform is allowing it to be sold, which is a whole other issue.
Laura Trump, how are you?
Well, thank you, Sean.
Yeah, I mean, uh in when in my wildest dreams I would have ever expected to have a song, let alone a song that anyone bought, listened to, and now it's number two, like you said, on the country charts.
I'm astonished by it.
Um, but yeah, you you did a great version of my my story.
Thank you for you know telling people about it and for informing people because I think the goal has been for a lot of these woke companies for a long time.
We know big tech has censored conservatives for a long time.
Turns out, no shocker.
The music industry apparently wants to do much of the same.
I released this song, uh this you know, a record, I guess you should specifically call it this version of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down last Friday, and we had this billboard plan to go up for about a week in time.
By the way, it's a really cool shot.
It's you on horseback.
Yeah.
I want to cut the music video.
Uh I want you and Eric dressed up in kind of Yellowstone gear, and it could be a really cool song, and and maybe with pictures we'll interspersed pictures of the swamp and the sewer in Washington and all that your family has to go through every day, which is hell.
There you go.
But it wasn't two days before, it was two hours before the billboard was supposed to go.
Oh my gosh, two hours?
I sorry I got that wrong.
Well, they called and said, you know what?
We know we agreed to this.
We know you paid for it, and we knew beforehand that the artist was Laura Trump, but we just decided we don't want to put the Trump name up.
So could we just put Laura?
And I said, absolutely not.
I want my full name up there as we agreed to.
I want, you know, the name of the song, like you said, so people can find it.
Sean, they didn't put either up.
They just put the picture of me on the horse.
So it had absolutely no meaning.
There was no context, no one knew to look up my song.
Very frustrating, but it is indicative, I think, of the you know, the the shadow banning and the censoring that we face.
My song.
So this is like canceling your song so it can't even be heard.
Well, yeah, the the radio, mainstream radio will not play it.
They say that it is a political and thirty great radio stations around the country.
So there you go.
This radio show will be glad to play it.
Thank you.
But uh, this is not the end of the fight.
I think we need to start standing up and demanding that we don't want special treatment, we just want equal treatment.
I want my song treated like anyone else's song out there.
I want a billboard I paid for to go up as I paid for it now as agreed to.
So as conservatives, we need to start fighting back a little harder, and that's exactly what I intend to do with this.
So thank you for helping me get the word out.
I I just can't believe two hours before they put it up, but why do they even bother putting it up?
Because it's not what you paid for.
Exactly.
I mean, I assume you probably had to pay in advance.
Uh uh, at a minimum, I'd demand my my money back now.
Uh and I'm beyond that, I I think there is a contractual breach that's pretty clear.
Yes, they're they are fully in breach of contract because we did pay ahead of time.
Again, they did know the song, they knew the artist, and they agreed to put it up.
And you can't come back in the last second and and decide on your own to change it, especially when I said I do not accept those those terms, absolutely not.
So uh this is not the end of this story for sure.
It is discrimination against me based on my last name, clearly based on my political beliefs, and they are in breach of contract, exactly right.
Well, I it sounds like uh uh lawsuit could be in the making here, and we'll follow this.
You know, it's been a very frustrating week.
Um we've been friends a long time.
I've been friends with Eric a long time.
Um, and I've never seen anything like this in my life.
We have new now I've I've got this old Letitia James tape that I played many, many times.
She ran, she's the attorney general of New York and ran on a platform to go after one family, the Trump family.
One man, Donald Trump.
One organization, the Trump organization, of which your husband Eric Trump is a part of.
And now, you know, we've got new tape.
Let me play the new tape.
The President of the United States has complained that I'm engaging in some sort of political witch hunt, that I've got some personal vendetta against him, that I campaigned against him.
That is not true.
He sits in the White House.
That president, because he's not my president, he's an illegitimate president.
His days are numbered.
We've got to get ready to mobilize, and we've got to get ready to agitate and irritate until victory is won, but more importantly, until Trump is defeated.
This man!
And ultimately will bring him down this illegitimate president.
I'm going to give you the same level of respect that you gave to President Obama.
And that is absolutely no respect at all.
Donald Trump has got to go.
Hey, hey!
Donald Trump is got to go, hey, hey!
Go, go!
I did it!
I'm down on the hill!
I'm down on the hill!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!
What?
Lock him up!
What?
Lock him up!
What?
That is not true.
Oh, really?
We even have the original tape that we played many times.
Let's let's go to the audio tape.
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake.
I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses.
Oh, we're gonna go too.
I'm going to be a real pain.
I know my name personally.
That man in the White House.
Yes!
Who can't go a day uh uh without threatening our fundamental rights.
Yes, we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
We need to follow his money.
We need to find out where he's laundered money.
We need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.
I'm opposed to going into the office of attorney general every day.
Defending your rights, and then going home.
Uh, yeah, that sounds uh a little dangerous to our justice system.
Now here's the worst part.
Hear this judge.
Now I showed on TV the other night, I'm not sure if you saw the show.
I was showing how much now Mar-a-Lago has over 20 acres of land.
It has multiple buildings on it.
It's on both the ocean, it has ocean front part of the property as intercoastal part of the property.
It is a a zoned residential property with a special cutout for a membership availability, which they have the club there.
Uh, on top of it being, I believe, a historic site down in Palm Beach.
Uh there isn't one realtor down there that I know that doesn't start at over five hundred million.
How does this judge hold firm to that?
I mean, that's a form of madness.
Uh well, the whole thing is madness.
The whole thing is corruption.
The the uh sound that you just played from Letitia James, who I mean, what an affront and an insult to every prosecutor in this country she is.
She calls herself the attorney General of the state of New York.
It is absolute corruption at its worst.
Sounds like a very measured, impartial attorney general there, doesn't it, folks?
I mean, amazing to see she did run on a campaign of taking down one man, one family, and one business, and it was Donald Trump, our family, and the Trump organization, and she right now is trying to make good on her campaign promise.
It is so sick to see what is happening.
And Sean, I I talked a little bit about this on your show last night.
The part that nobody focuses on here is the real human element.
You have people, thousands of people who have worked at the Trump organization, some of them for 30 years.
These are good, hardworking people.
They love their jobs.
These are housekeepers, these are custodial staff, these are valets, doormen, drivers.
These are people who, if Leticia James gets her way to dissolve Donald Trump's businesses, to ruin him in every way.
By the way, they will take over the businesses, put them in receivership.
The family will have no input into the property management anymore.
Um probably be then be forced to sell the properties, maybe at at at prices that you know are way below value, which would be like you know, legalized stealing in my view.
Uh, and then a 250 million dollar fine, and and never allowed to do business in New York again.
Exactly.
These people, though, their their livelihoods hang on the line.
And uh, we could have moved this company out of New York a long time ago.
And actually, so many people told my father in law and my husband who runs the company, you should do it.
And do you know the only reason?
My husband said we will not do that right now, because it would displace the thousands of Trump employees who have been loyal hard workers to that company, and he was not willing to do that to them.
It is an absolute shame to see all the lives that are impacted, no different than the bloodthirsty Democrats have done to anyone who dares say that they support Donald Trump, anyone who with an R beside your name, you are a target.
They go after you, they don't care if they destroy your lives, what is happening?
Oh, you'll you're living it straight up.
But let me add one thing.
I've seen the disclaimer in every contract, loan application.
Uh don't use our valuations.
You have and and it's it's common sense.
They have a fiduciary responsibility as a lending institution to establish the value of any property that might be used as collateral.
Which is why this is so infuriating.
Everyone knows that that's the case.
They would never just take my as I said, I got a house down the street, it's worth two billion dollars.
You can trust me.
Of course, they can't trust me.
They do their own valuations, they have their own due diligence and their own people to do such a thing.
So to claim that there was any issue here is absolutely crazy.
It is just more of the same witch hunt against Donald Trump.
And I'll tell you what, I hope that the people of this country are mad enough now that they really rally together and we really get some great support as we had into 2024.
We have to win this one by such a landslide that there is no question about anything, that we absolutely clean out the Washington, D.C. swamp.
What is happening to this country and what is happening to my father-in-law is communist banana republic type stuff.
It should never be allowed to happen in America.
Well, I can't say it any better.
It's sad.
