This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
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 podcasts.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a contrast.
Sean, Henry, do the new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, thanks, Scott Chad.
And finally, news roundup, information overload hour.
Let me give you our toll-free number.
We will get to your calls.
It's 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, I've been predicting this, knew it would happen.
It's happening.
Talking to some friends in Israel, told them it was going to happen, and it's happening.
And slowly but surely, the media mob is going to forget that 1,300 Israelis were murdered in an unprovoked, you know, unbridled terrorist attack and campaign against innocent men, women, and children.
And yes, the photos, in spite of what you might have heard from the propagandists marching all over the country and world on Friday on World Jihad Day, as called for by Hamas, those pictures of decapitated children are real.
Charred children are real.
Raped women are real.
Hostages taken are real.
260 kids slaughtered defenseless in the desert doing nothing except having a peaceful concert.
It's all real.
And if you extrapolate out, and I'll bring this number up every second of every day because it matters because it does bring perspective when you compare the population of Israel and 1,300 people killed in a single day.
Well, if you extrapolate and compare it to our population, it would be over 38,000 Americans killed in a single day.
On 9-11-01, we lost 2,977.
You know, we lost over 2,000 plus in Pearl Harbor, not as many as 9-11.
That's why 9-11 was the worst terror attack in history.
But, you know, sure enough, you turn on fake news, CNN, and there's Jake Sullivan, you know, being pressed on the priority of, or I'm sorry, Jake Tapper decrying to Jake Sullivan, Israel's cutting off of supplies, heat, and water to civilians.
Well, who's living among the civilians?
Who's responsible for using civilians at human shields?
Who's responsible for using hostages as human shields?
Who historically has been firing their missiles to border towns and cities in Israel from hospitals and from schools as a means of using those locations as shields so they can commit their acts of terror against Israel?
Listen.
Israel is not Russia.
Gaza is not Ukraine.
It's a different situation.
But cutting off supplies, cutting off heat, cutting off water to civilians, what's the difference?
Well, first, thank you for saying that Israel is not Russia because Israel is not Russia.
Second, civilians are civilians.
Civilians are civilians.
Yes, absolutely they are.
And they deserve, as I said before, access to water and medicine and food.
And we are working actively to ensure that that happens.
And I can tell you this morning, Jake, that I have been in touch with my Israeli counterparts just within the last hour who report to me that they have, in fact, turned the water pipe back on in southern Gaza.
That has been the subject of discussion over the course of the past few days.
They have been warning the population in Gaza, the innocent population, to get out or they will die for well over a week now.
We're going on, you know, almost from day one.
You know, if you stay, you will die.
Now, if Israel continues to allow services like heat, water, lights, et cetera, to Gaza, well, guess who also benefits from their compassion?
That would be the terrorist Hamas that killed all these innocent Israelis and took Israelis and Americans hostage, 30 Americans also killed here.
So at some point, you got to ask.
Another interesting moment on fake news, CNN, Israelis president Herzog shows Wolf Blitzer, a Hamas terrorist manual, how to abduct and torture Israeli citizens.
Well, they have a lot of them.
Estimates as high as 150.
By the way, that includes some Americans as well.
Listen.
I'll show you another example.
This was found on the body of one of the terrorists.
This is a booklet.
Okay, this booklet is an instruction guide how to go into a civilian premises, into a kibbutz, a city, a moshav, how to break in.
And first thing, what do you do when you find the citizens?
You torture them.
This is the booklet.
It says exactly how to torture them, how to abduct them, how to kidnap them.
So therefore, the story is not Israel versus Palestinians or Judaism versus Islam, God forbid.
The story is about humanity.
Are we with the good or are we with evil?
Okay, it's that simple.
And we've shown you all last week on television all the cartoons aimed at young children in Gaza, indoctrinating them, brainwashing them into, quote, hating and wanting to kill Jews.
I mean, are you surprised that people grow up with the mindset that they've been indoctrinated with cartoons?
And then we look at our own colleges and universities.
I mean, if this didn't shock everybody last week, I don't know what will.
You know, did you see Times Square looked like it was New Year's Eve?
It was packed with so many people.
And then all over college campuses, 30-plus organizations at Harvard alone.
Never mind all these other colleges.
It's widespread, virulent anti-Semitism that I didn't think I'd see or hear in my lifetime.
In London, Australia, around the world.
You know, Harvard's professor.
Oh, now all of a sudden, the Woke University, the school that has been designated as the least open to real freedom of speech, Harvard, President Claudine Gay, you know, puts out a statement, you know, about how they are real advocates of freedom of speech.
Really?
Then how come they won't invite me and Professor Cornell West, who taught there, and Professor Alan Dershowitz, who taught there, to have a debate on the college campus over the 30-plus groups at Harvard that blamed only Israel, the victim, for the attack of being terror victims.
Listen to her.
People have asked me where we stand.
So let me be clear.
Our university rejects terrorism.
That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.
Our university rejects hate, hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any group of people based on their faith, their national origin, or any aspect of their identity.
Our university rejects the harassment or intimidation of individuals based on their beliefs.
And our university embraces a commitment to free expression.
That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous.
We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views.
But that is a far cry for endorsing them.
It's in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters and we reveal the character of our institution.
All right, with all that in the news, we bring in our media expert, Joe Concha, is with us, Fox News contributor, author of the bestseller, Come On Man.
I think he'd have the best media show on television if they would give him one.
But how are you, sir?
Glad to have you back.
Oh, thanks, Sean.
That was one hell of a monologue, and you wrapped it up perfectly.
I mean, we have the situation here where you would think this would be like after 9-11, some folks in the media and on college campuses actually rallying to the cause of al-Qaeda, right?
It's something unthinkable.
And to see the sheer size of these demonstrations, one block from our headquarters at Fox in New York right in Times Square or in Dallas or in Chicago, you have Black Lives Matter Chicago actually putting out tweets with terror gliders and saying basically they're in support of those terrorists that went in there and slaughtered those people at that music festival.
So it's just amazing that we're at a point now that this is even remotely something that's debatable.
Israel was attacked, and they were attacked in the worst possible way you could imagine with babies being beheaded and rapes and kidnappings and just a nightmare that you can't even conjure up in your worst dreams.
And the fact that this is being somehow presented as a both sides argument is absolutely, well, I can't say stunning because I guess I'm not stunned by anything that we see from some of our media anymore, but it really is shocking.
It really isn't.
I don't know if you watched the show on Hannity Friday night where a lot of the protests were still ongoing and Sarah Carter did some really courageous reporting in the middle of all this asking people, well, what about the dead babies?
What about the kids that are being slaughtered and question after question?
Oh, none of that is true.
That's what they're saying.
But at this point, I wonder if fake Jake Tapper were alive and Truman hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I think all would agree, for good or bad, it ended World War II.
World War II was brought to us.
It was a war declared on us, not a war we wanted to be involved in.
You can ask, you know, look at the writings of Churchill.
He was dying for America to get involved in World War II, and there was an isolationist strain in this country that did not want, at the time, America to be involved in that conflict.
But in that conflict, America got, and eventually it ended.
But was that the right decision?
Are we back to debating how to fight a war, win a war, end a war?
And how do you possibly delineate in a population who the terrorists are when they hide among the civilian population or don't let the civilian population leave when they're being told to leave for their own safety and use them as human shields is a very complicated issue.
Completely.
I hadn't heard or considered that World War II analogy before, but boy, that's spot on.
Look, yeah, whether it's Jake Tapper or Scott Pelley during that 60 Minutes interview last night where he talked about how President Biden had to wedge getting this interview done into his busy schedule.
Literally said that on the air, and then you look at the president's schedule that day and he had one event on his calendar.
I mean, it's just remarkable, the water carrying there.
And the fact that Pelley or Tapper couldn't ask Jake Sullivan or Joe Biden about the U.S.-southern border and the fact that we now have hundreds of people that have been apprehended during this administration that are on terror watch lists.
Those are the ones that we've apprehended.
I got to think that the really still terrorists probably were able to be a gotaway and are somewhere in the country right now.
So this is the biggest national security concern we could think of since 9-11, and yet the leader of the free world or leader of this country and Joe Biden or Jake Sullivan, who's supposed to be in charge of national security at last check, they're not even questioned about this or they're not even held to account.
And this is something that, let's put it this way, after 9-11, I remember a lot of hand-wringing in the media, like, boy, how do we not see this coming?
How do we not connect the dots?
The dots are right there when it comes to the next attack in this country.
And they're coming across the border every day.
And you have an administration that simply does not care because there's a political angle to it.
And that is probably sometime down the road, maybe these folks could be future voters.
So we're just going to allow the spigot to continue instead of shutting down the border, which is something we absolutely should be doing right now.
All right, quick break more with Joe Concha on the other side.
All right, we continue now with Joe Concha with our media analysis.
So all of a sudden, the media is upset, angry, mad at me, because my sources started this weekend.
I'm trying to, I think the people's house needs to be open as soon as possible.
So I start asking questions of people that my sources told me were voting no against Jim Jordan.
I just want to know why.
I don't think it's that much to ask.
I have my staff send out an email.
We've heard that you're not supporting Jim Jordan.
Can you tell us if it's accurate?
Is that a fair question?
Completely.
Then I ask, okay, if it's true, I'd like to know why during this time of war breaking out with Israel and Hamas, the war in Ukraine, wide open borders, and a budget that's unfinished, why are you against Jim Jordan for speaker?
Is that a fair question?
I don't see anything wrong with this.
I've seen this boil up as a so-called controversy.
I'm like, all right, so basically, Hannity and by virtue of his staff are going to members who said they won't vote for Jordan.
You want to know why, considering everything that's going on in the country and internationally, that's journalism.
So let me ask my next question is, can you then let us know what your plans are to open the people's house so the work can be done?
Is that a fair question?
And at any point you think it's not fair, tell me.
Right.
Do you oppose Jim Jordan?
Yes, I do.
Okay, what's your plan then?
What is your plan to have a House speaker and to have the House opened again?
If you're opposed to him, that's fine.
But then what's your alternative and how do you plan to get there?
These are questions I would ask, that's for sure.
That's what a lot of reporters are asking right now.
I don't see why this is a controversy.
I mean, let's put it this way.
You know why people particularly do not like CNN all that much or don't trust them?
Because to your point, Anderson Cooper, just a couple of weeks ago during an interview, insisted that he's not an opinion host.
And then you watch him on a nightly basis.
This is the same guy who called Donald Trump, quote, an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun.
I'm sorry.
I'm pretty sure that's a provocative opinion, right?
Tapper gives opinions.
Don Lemon, when he was there, gave opinions.
These are all opinion people, but they will insist that they're just journalists asking tough questions.
You're at least honest about who you are, right?
You're a conservative.
You want to see Republicans win and you want to see Democrats crushed.
Fine.
You've said that.
If you're transparent about it, then people have no problem with it.
But these other folks that go around saying, no, I'm just objective.
I don't take sides.
That's BS.
I almost swore on your show.
I'm sorry.
But it's BS.
Well, every vote in conference, we all know, is anonymous versus a vote on the floor.
That's public.
So I asked the last question, are there any conditions under which you, as a representative in the House, would work with Democrats in the process of electing a speaker, which to me is just total capitulation and weak, pathetic leadership that would end up badly for Republicans in 24.
Okay, again, I ask you, is that a fair question based on the news and all the reports that some are thinking of that?
Considering that Democrats stick together really, really well, yes, it's very fair.
And you have a situation where right now, as we speak, the person who has the most votes right now for House Speaker is Hakeem Jeffries, right?
So Democrats are absolutely unified.
And if it comes, and they would never, ever in a billion years help a Republican out.
We saw that with Kevin McCarthy, right?
So, but some Republicans seem to be open to working with Democrats.
And that's where the difference is between the two parties.
Democrats stick together and Republicans chaos up the latter, I guess.
I always say Democrats, you know what, they, well, Republicans create a circular firing squad and Democrats circle the wagons.
Big difference.
Joe Concha, always love having you.
Thank you.
If I meet the Joe Concha litmus test, I guess I'm okay.

So Della, Verdict with Ted Cruz Now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, Skip is in North Carolina next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Skip, how are you?
Happy Monday.
Glad you called.
Well, thanks for taking the call, Sean.
Regarding Matt Gates, I really like the guy.
He's a hustler.
He's a hard worker.
And he's pushing Congress to keep to their word.
I like that.
However, it's time for him and his group to support Jordan.
Well, I think he does.
He said he supported Scalise or Jordan.
And at this time, right now, the person that has the most votes is Jordan.
I am saying, you know, I had said from the beginning, America is going to have a very small window of patience with this.
They'll accept, you know, this change, even though I think there's a better way to handling it myself.
I fully understand the anger and resentment that lingered based on the budget deal in May with McCarthy.
But putting all that aside, that's water under the bridge at this point.
You know, they don't have a margin big enough for this type of, you know, any one member can vacate the chair.
And I just am getting the sense that, you know, we're going to be back at, you know, the drawing board tomorrow because people, you know, their egos are involved and their agendas are involved.
And if they don't stick together, they're going to fail together.
And if they fail together, they fail in the country together.
And the issues right now are too important not to have a speaker and not to have the people's house open.
That's where I stand at this moment.
And if they don't like Jordan in a year or so, sure, vote him out.
But the Democrats hold together.
I'm just tired of the Republicans not holding together.
But I got another thing I'd like to talk to you about if I got time regarding Vivek.
Real quick, real quick.
Go ahead.
Okay.
I like him and I like his approach.
I wouldn't necessarily vote for him, but the fact he reaches out to the younger voters, I like that.
Who are you talking about specifically?
Vivek running for presidency.
Oh, Vivek Ramaswamy, okay.
Yeah, it's hard to pronounce me to pronounce his name.
But on your shows, your live shows where you have audience, I just don't see enough young people there, and I don't see enough African Americans.
I'm white, but I don't see enough African Americans.
And regarding your interview, I understand that you were upset with his comments, and I hadn't seen it or read it.
I was just like, own your comments.
Why are you always denying them?
I quoted them accurately.
I'm like, if you said it, own it, explain it.
If you want to rescind it and say, well, I misspoke, then do that.
But I don't think you gave him an opportunity.
I think you were a little hostile to him.
I've never seen you like that.
And I can understand that.
But I don't think you gave him an opportunity.
I really wanted to hear what he was going to say and respond.
I mean, you may have caught him.
He may have regretted saying what he said.
Well, what was happening is I'd ask the question and he'd go off on a tangent.
Then he thought he was being too cute by half by trying to attack me.
And I've watched other interviews where he's used this exact same technique.
So I was kind of prepared for it, to be honest.
And I'm like, no, I'm asking you, these are your words.
And if you noticed at the end of that interview, I said, did I take any, did I quote you accurately?
And he said, yes.
And I said, yeah, it took me all that time to get him to finally admit that.
And that was becoming frustrating to me.
Look, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I was hot on him last week, too, because, you know, everyone's saying that he's, you know, he has three issues on which he sounds conservative.
A lot of conservatives like his position on the COVID vaccine.
A lot of conservatives like his position on gender identity and the other issues, immigration.
Every other position, this guy is pretty radical, doesn't want drilling, fracking, energy production in America.
This is a guy that has supported wholeheartedly every Democratic radical, including Bernie Sanders.
And, you know, I just think there's this part of him that people don't know.
I actually like him personally.
I don't dislike Vivek either but I think that some of the maybe some of the other candidates could learn something from him as far as reaching out to the younger generation because we're losing them and we need them I think you're right.
Sometimes you have the constraints of time in an interview.
So when somebody you know is going off on a tangent that's not going to answer the question, it lends itself to be a little more interruptive.
But that's a fair criticism on your part.
Well, I enjoy your show, and I just wish there was more outlets to reach more people because Fox does it.
But if you go to the other media, they're not hearing or seeing or listening to what we're getting from Fox.
And I wish everything we could do about it.
You know what?
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for your support.
I don't have a job if you don't listen to this show or watch my TV show.
And believe me, that's always paramount in my mind to do the best job I can.
Okay?
We're here in the Smoky Mountains, and I'm going to sit by my fireplace and enjoy the rest of your show.
All right, my friend.
God bless you.
You have a great day.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
New Jersey, Bobby, standing by.
Bobby, how are you?
Glad you called.
Sean, thank you for taking my call.
I watch your show every night.
I enjoy the new format with the audience.
Sean, I'm a 58-year-old, retired accountant from Jersey City.
I grew up, my father was a radio operator on a B-17.
He fought the Nazis.
I'm half Polish, his side of the family, a bunch of the people got wiped out by the Nazis.
So he had a burning hatred for the Nazis.
I'm so dismayed by these rallies, Sean, backing these Palestinians.
They caused mayhem in Israel.
I can't believe there's not more people backing up the Israelis.
You know, Sean?
And with the open border.
Listen, I mean, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
Their charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
We saw what happened.
We saw the devastation.
We saw the pure evil on display.
You know, we've got photographic evidence.
We have video evidence.
And yet people will just sit there and deny what our own eyes show us.
It's very hard for me to comprehend why.
Yes, yes.
And the reporter was in the street last week.
They're in total denial, Sean.
They won't even admit these atrocities occurred.
But, Sean, one more thing.
With this open border, Sean, I lived through 9-11.
I worked on the pile.
I was working that day in Jersey City.
The most horrendous day in the country's history next to Pearl Harbor.
And with the open border, something bad is going to happen, Sean.
I hate to be an alarmist, but...
No, you're not an alarmist.
I've been saying it, and I've been being criticized for saying that among the 8 million, right now it's over 7.5 million illegal immigrants.
Joe is aided and abetted coming into this country, not respecting our laws, our borders, our sovereignty.
And I've said, I guarantee you that among those 8 million by the end of this year, there are terror cells.
And those cells are plotting, planning, and scheming another 9-11 or worse.
And how foolish of America to allow this to happen.
And at the end of the day, when we find out, oh, yeah, this person came into the country illegally during Joe's open borders period.
What are we going to do then?
Because they will be responsible for whatever carnage happens.
But they won't, you know, of course, I'm sure they'll find a way to blame conservatives.
They always do.
Absolutely.
All right, my friend.
Appreciate the call.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Avi is in New York.
What's up, Avi in New York?
What's going on, sir?
How are you?
I make fun of New York and New Jersey access.
I live in New York.
I'm from New Jersey, so you got a lot to make fun of.
No, nothing at all.
I'm glad you called.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm calling, first of all, your original caller, one of your previous callers.
First of all, I'm Jewish.
I'm American, and I voted for Trump all the way, write down the ballot, Republican.
So it's not completely true what he's saying, although there is truth to what he's saying about the Jewish Americans voting Democrat.
On that note, my parents live in Israel.
My brother-in-law right now is fighting in the north.
My nephew's down in the south by Gaza.
It's very close to home.
By the way, I'm worried about Lebanon and Hezbollah and Iran's threats.
I know Israel is taking it seriously.
They're evacuating in the north near the Lebanon border a lot of these border town residents because of all the rockets that have been fired there.
I mean, I'm sure there's definitely, you know, in the works, that's why there are two major warships in the Mediterranean now.
I think they might know something that we don't.
But what I'm hoping is that just the support for Israel doesn't give up.
Obviously, we've been speaking about the propaganda.
I mean, you go to these college campuses, and if you could have a rational, logical conversation with any of these people, you ask them how many gays live in Gaza.
Ask them that question.
Ask them, what has Gaza built in the past X amount of years that they've been there?
What have they produced?
Israel's 75 years old.
Look at what came out of Israel.
The technology, the medicine, the intelligence.
So much has come out of them in 75 years.
Look at what a person could build.
And you look at what came out of Gaza, absolutely nothing.
What army in the world drops leaflets on their enemy territory to let them know to evacuate before they bomb?
They don't.
That's it.
It doesn't exist in the world.
Well, actually, I believe America did prior to Hiroshima Nagasaki.
But you don't take it.
I mean, you take into account civilians always, but there's no concept of disproportionality when it comes to, it's not murdering.
It's butchering children, mothers.
This is terrorism.
That's why it's I mean, it should shock the conscience and soul of good people to see so many people advocating in favor of, you know, these lunatics.
I mean, we have all the evidence you could ever want, but to be in such denial and say, oh, we're here for the people of Palestine.
Well, then the people of Palestine, those that have been killed and will be killed, you can only blame one group, and that would be the terrorist group Hamas.
You can blame another group, too.
The number one state sponsor of terror that helped apparently organize, foment these attacks against Israel.
That would be Iran.
Even the New York Times saying Iran began plotting Hamas's attack on Israel on Israel over a year ago.
So I just really want to thank you for being a staunch supporter of Israel.
I mean, Fox has been amazing.
They sent Hannafi Saud.
They sent John Roberts there.
He's going into all the Israeli hospitals now.
We've been watching him all day.
He's done a great job.
An amazing job.
He's sitting with somebody that protected his wife and six kids.
I mean, your listeners have to close their eyes and imagine they're sitting at the breakfast table in their house, and that's it.
They just come under siege by terrorists with machine guns, and they do the most horrific acts.
And you have these 200 hostages.
God knows where they are.
It's very frightening.
These are very, very troubled times.
And it's why I want Republicans to get their act together and get back to work.
Anyway, my friend, thank you.
Appreciate the call.
800-941-Sean Gordon in Florida, the free state of Florida.
What's up, Gordon?
How are you, sir?
Thank you for taking my call, Sean.
Long time no see.
I wanted to talk about the speakership.
McCarthy was a bad average, but he did a couple of really bad things.
And although I wouldn't have agreed to them, Glenn Grothman would be my first choice with people in Congress.
And there's a few people out of Congress.
They won't have a chance, but maybe I'll get a chance to them.
And here's why Glenn Grofman is good.
Kevin McCarthy was conservative, and he cut the spending, which was something we...
Who is Glenn Grofman?
Glenn Grofman.
Representative Glenn Grothman is one of the most conservative representatives out of Wisconsin Sytham.
The guy is legendary.
He's one of my favorite members of Congress.
All right.
I've heard of him, but I've heard, you know, I mean, most people don't know him.
I mean, he's not a guy that does a lot of cable news shows or talk radio shows.
I think people are more familiar with Jim Jordan.
But listen, we could sit here and start making the case for any one of these guys.
At some point, they've got to settle.
Not we.
They have got to settle on a speaker.
They've got to open the people's house.
These are very perilous times.
The house needs to be open.
I just don't have a lot of patience for it to go way beyond tomorrow.
And, you know, I think Jordan's making progress.
My sources tell me he's making progress.
People are mad at me for asking questions about what they plan to do, but that's my job.
I'm not sure why they're mad at me.
Jim Jordan?
Sir?
Anything about Jim Jordan?
Sure.
That I don't like.
Hello?
Yeah, what?
Well, here's the deal.
Jim Jordan has not attempted to cut using my tax dollars to originate student loans like the Republican platform says.
Groffman is a little bit more conservative, but even when the Republicans had the House, the Senate and the Oval Office, they didn't do it.
There's only one thing under heaven, Kevin Jordan.
Here's the problem we have: he has no support as of today for being speaker.
Can we please get somebody to open the house up?
And the person that's going to be voted on is Jim Jordan.
You may not have an agreement with him on everything, but at least on the major issues of spending, security at our borders, investigations, and oversight.
Jim Jordan is rock-solid.
He's a rock-solid conservative.
He's one of the founders of the Freedom Caucus.
Anyway, I'm just up on a clock here, but I do appreciate your call.
800-941-Sean.
You know, most people have no idea that there's an invisible gap in their homes protection.
In other words, your home, the largest equity for most people, is at risk.
Now, this invisible threat is called house stealing.
Now, from FBI crime stories, and I quote, con artists, they pick a house.
They target American homeowners.
It could be a vacation home, a rental property, or a home that maybe you live in right now.
Then they transfer the deed of the house because all deeds are online into their name.
They obtain the forms.
They use fake IDs.
They file the paperwork with proper authorities.
Then they own your home.
End quote.
Once this step is complete, they take out loans using your home as collateral.
They can even sell your home right from underneath you and protecting your home from this invisible gap.
That's why I have home titlelock.com.
Now, don't forget, be sure to use the promo code Sean, that's S-E-A-N, and they will send you a complete title scan of your home's title.
Make sure that and verify it's still in your name.
And your first 30 days of triple lock protection is absolutely free.
That's home titlelock.com.
Please do it today, home titlelock.com.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
