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.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We measure it now at 40% with 57% disapproving of significance.
That is the lowest President Biden has ever measured in our poll.
I want to talk about Governor Newsom.
I want to thank him.
He's been one hell of a governor, man.
Matter of fact, he could do anything.
He could have the job I'm looking for.
And over the past two years alone, we've seized enough fentanyl to kill 270 million Americans.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Where we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
Sean Hennery.
The new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload.
Our 800-941 Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Biden's poll numbers just keep tanking.
I mean, really tanking.
It's got, you know, article after article now being written by the mob and the media about how his campaign is pretty much collapsing.
We're still a year out.
I think it's too early to get giddy.
You know, this election, like so many others, can be decided by six states and fewer than five or six hundred thousand voters.
So that's something to be aware of.
Although certainly the issue of whether Joe remains on the ticket is very real.
Here's Biden struggling in a speech on the economy.
Take a seat if you have one.
And if I say anything you don't like, don't jump, okay?
A fully electrified train's on his corridor and 83% less greenhouse gases, by the way, than driving your car.
One of the things I convinced President Vlad when I was vice president, I convinced the president to do, provide money for high-speed rail.
Then you got Joe Biden, you know, gets asked a question from a Fox reporter about his age and calls the question stupid.
He doesn't like tough questions.
Listen.
Mr. President, are you too old to be running for reelection?
Why is Donald Trump beating you in the latest poll?
Anyway, so how important are these poll numbers?
Because if you look at them, if you look at starting in early November with the New York Times Sienna poll, it showed Trump ahead in four of six swing states.
Another poll showed him ahead in five out of six swing states.
The president standing in head-to-head matchups with President Trump is falling, whether it's Fox News or NBC or Emerson or Quinnipiak or the New York Times, any of these polls, they're not going well by any objective measure.
Democrats are in a panic.
We keep reading about it.
You know, we have the debate with Newsome and DeSantis coming up on Thursday and articles now being written about a potential civil war between Democrats like Kamala Harris and Governor Newsome over who might replace Joe if he's not going to be the candidate in the end.
Anyway, we invite our three top pollsters, John McLaughlin with McLaughlin and Associates, Robert Cahaley with Trafalgar, and Matt Towery, Insider Advantage.
Guys, welcome to the program.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
Do you all agree with me?
And Matt, we'll start with you.
Do you all agree with me that looking out a year from now, polling-wise, it just maybe is showing a trend?
I think I would not put too much stock in it because so much can change between now and then and whatever late October surprise we get hit with, unless, of course, it's censored by the feds and by social media companies, and they don't want the American people to know the truth before an election.
We just don't know what's going to happen.
Matt?
Yeah, I totally agree, Sean.
I mean, three things come to mind.
First of all, I think Robert and I both think that these polls are a little overinflated against Biden right now.
Not that he's not declining.
I think he is.
But I think that there's a lot that goes behind some of these polls that isn't always, it's sort of the way they're asked and the groups that they ask, and they know sort of what the outcome will be.
Second thing I would say is that, you know, I look at these states based on the swing states.
I don't worry about the rest of the country.
And what concerns me is that, for example, the federal government under Biden has an executive order that every agency and department under federal government has to have, A, a plan to register folks who don't normally vote, low propensity voters, and B, to get them to the polls, to get them to vote.
Now, that's a heck of a turnout machine for the Democrats in these swing states.
So I look more at what the turnout will be than where the numbers are.
I think the third thing I would say is that we don't know what that October surprise is.
We certainly know that if Trump's a nominee, they want to keep him in court the entire time.
So I have to say right now, I don't put too much stock in all this, although I clearly agree that Biden's numbers have been genuinely decreasing in the last two months.
It's not just Trump and the criminal trials.
I mean, we may have an instance where the president himself is facing an impeachment over potential bribery allegations.
Is that a factor?
Could be.
But the problem is if you get to an impeachment and he's declining to this level, I think maybe the Democrats opt out for an alternative, although not until after the convention probably.
So they can hand pick who that nominee would be.
And it would have to be Harris because they couldn't jump over her or they would lose their entire base.
You really believe that?
Absolutely.
I mean, they can't skip Harris or they lose a African-American female vote.
All right, Robert, you agree with that?
I couldn't agree with that more.
Actually, I said that on Levin's show two years ago.
I'm such a firm believer.
There's no greater dependent vote the Democrat has than the African-American women.
If they lose that base, if it's her turn and they skip over her, I mean, you can't be a an I, you know, you can't be an identity politics party when it's convenient.
That's an interesting observation.
What do you say, John McLaughlin?
I'm more living in the present where, by the way, you and I have been doing this for years.
And in 2016, you put me on the spot.
And we called it right that Trump was going to win a close victory over Hillary Clinton.
And we've always had it close in 2020.
So I'm not used to this where the media polls.
Now, the last 10 polls that have been put on the Real Clear Politics website, they have Trump ahead in the national popular vote.
We're 11 months out.
And our last poll that we published Wednesday, we have Trump beating Joe Biden 49.43 in the national popular vote.
Never saw that in 2016.
Never saw it in 2020.
It was always an electoral battleground state.
But those of us who are working for President Trump, I'm on with these two really good pollsters right now, but those of us who've got to be focused on what Trump has to do, we have to win Iowa in 50 days.
We have to win New Hampshire in 58 days.
We then got to win South Carolina or Nevada in between, but South Carolina is February 24th of next year.
That's a long time in politics, but we're doing great.
I mean, I don't think.
But you're quoted as saying no one can catch Trump in the primaries.
Not right now.
There's never been a candidate like this who's put up these kinds of leads so close to those primary dates.
And by the way, if you have any doubt that these polls are wrong, you should have been at the Clemson, South Carolina game on Saturday and saw the reception that Donald Trump, an ex-president, got when he walked into that stadium.
I mean, it was music politicians.
Especially when he walked to midfield.
Yeah.
It was unbelievable.
It was unbelievable.
I mean, it was just, I mean, save the Clemson band booing him, which was like 10 people.
It was overwhelming.
I mean, we're talking 80,000 people, and there was...
Well, then how do we explain all this?
Because doesn't it defy all conventional political gravity, what we're witnessing?
And that is a presidential, top presidential candidate indicted four times, arraigned four times, facing four trials in an election year for issues all going back years ago.
And that every time he's arrested, every time that he's arraigned, his poll numbers go up.
Well, I think that's exactly the point.
I mean, Trump has been a beneficiary of every move that has been taken.
Now, whether you would say it's the Democrats or the Justice Department or whatever, it certainly one would think it's bad politics for him, but it actually turns out to be good politics.
Let me add, Sean, by the way, Robert and I are doing Polling Plus, our new podcast that has a hard launch in January, so people will be able to hear this every week, every few days, as a matter of fact, to find out what we're thinking.
Right now, I'm thinking Donald Trump went.
Maybe one day I'll be a guest.
All right, let me go back to what I'll hold you to that, Mr. Hannity.
I'll hold you to that.
All right, you have my word.
I will be a guest on your show.
All right, quick break more with our pollsters.
John McLaughlin, Matt Towery, Robert Cahaley on the other side.
Then your call's coming up: 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
All right, we continue now with our pollsters, Sean McLaughlin, Matt Towery, and Robert Cahaley.
By the way, it was interesting when he pulled up in his motorcade.
Yeah, there was a smattering of booze, but they were like, boo, it wasn't like everybody.
It was like a tiny group.
And then he walks out to midfield with Governor McMaster, who's a great guy.
And anyway, this is what it sounded like.
I mean, I don't think I've seen anything like that in my lifetime, John.
No, no.
And by the way, that is Nikki Haley's home state.
So 50 days.
I think it's her alma mater as well.
No, no, she went to Clemson.
But the reality of this is the polls are, what you were talking about, Sean, is these polls are historic right now with this kind of a president.
And it's because Joe Biden, 68% of the voters in our last poll say the country's on the wrong track.
The economy is getting worse, not better, 65, 31.
People are hurting on inflation.
National security, you got two wars Biden can't stop.
And guess what?
67% think these indictments, politics played a role.
Among all voters, 61% now think Biden played a role.
Two months ago, it was 50%.
So Joe Biden's strategy to indict and put Donald Trump in jail is backfiring.
The voters want Donald Trump to replace Joe Biden.
And the Republican primary voters, it's gangbusters.
It's a mission now.
It's a movement and a mission.
We have to win our country back.
And this is the guy who can win that race.
And none of the other Republican candidates can prove that because this guy beat Hillary Clinton.
He could beat Joe Biden.
Do you believe that, Robert Kahaley?
I absolutely do.
I think that this year will be even more overwhelming if it continues the trend that it is now.
And that's a big, big if.
A lot of things can change.
We're seeing this war becoming a little less popular.
And we need to do a little bit to make sure the public understands exactly what these mass terrorists did.
Because I think there's members of the public who just don't know what they did.
So we need to work on that.
But this, I think it's an absolute impossibility and strong, him being that strong in the fall.
And it's just, it really is going to be a matter of this election had better be fair because the public isn't going to put up with anything else.
Matt?
Well, let me make one comment first.
Donald Trump is clearly leading in most of these states.
I do think he'll be the nominee.
But keep your eye on Iowa because Ron DeSantis has a strong ground game there.
And by the way, many people who poll in Iowa don't poll cuck caucus goers.
They do a more blanket poll and it ends up being incorrect.
So I think DeSantis could have a little bit of a boost.
And this is one thing that I think is going to happen.
They're over-polling Trump right now.
He gets these incredible numbers.
He brags about them.
And then what the media wants is for him to end up being below those numbers and say, oh, he's declining.
He's declining.
He'll get the plurality in most of these states.
But you watch it.
That's what's going to happen.
Somebody's going to do well in Iowa.
Somebody's going to do well in New Hampshire.
And you'll hear the media say, oh, Trump is declining.
He's underperforming, which just take it to the bank.
That's what they're going to try to do.
Do any of you see any chance for any of the other candidates to catch Trump?
John?
No, no.
In fact, you know, the list, you got to go back to 1996.
Bush won by the biggest margin where 2000, pardon me, 2000, where Bush had an 11% victory.
And, you know, Carl Rose, he won 41.30 over Forbes in Iowa.
And Carl Rose trying to say Trump needs to get over 50.
But then he hit an obstacle in New Hampshire, and then South Carolina became a war between him and John McCain.
Right.
McCain won that.
Right now, Trump is leading in all those states, and there's only one person who could beat Donald Trump, and that's Donald Trump.
And the Trump we're seeing right now is listening.
He's effective.
He's talking policies.
He's talking issues.
He's going head-to-head with Joe Biden, and he's beating him in the national polls.
This is a much better candidate than the one I worked for in 2016 and 2020.
He is focused on winning this race.
And he's focused on it because he loves this country.
And he wants America to be strong again like it was when he was president.
Do you agree with that, Robert Gahelli?
I think that he is definitely leading in all these polls, but I will tell you that Matt and I are seeing the same thing.
We find it more than ironic that we both have Trump up with a huge margin, but usually in most of these states, a little less than the other polls.
I think these national polls are setting it up, setting him up.
So they're saying he's going to win by 43 in the place.
And then if he wants by 37, they're talking about, well, he won, but he kind of underperformed expectations.
That's why I think they're pumping him up so they can make him look bad in the primaries.
No question he's going to win them.
I just think Amigas.
Let's assume two things happen.
Let's assume that he's a convicted felon in November of 2024.
And let's assume that Joe Biden is still the nominee for the Democrats.
How will independents that often choose the presidents in this country react to that, Matt Towery?
Well, first of all, I don't think there are independents in the old classic sense.
I mean, we're a polarized nation and people lean one way or another.
It looks to me like if he's indicted, even though I've seen all these conjectures and these polling say, if he's indicted, will that change your opinion?
We heard that, Sean, in polling about if he's indicted, if he's found guilty, if each time people say, oh, that'll change by nine, and then he gets indicted and it doesn't change anybody's mind.
It increases support.
I think whatever they do to Donald Trump to make him look like a victim, including finding him guilty, is only going to make him stronger and have his turnout be stronger in November.
All right.
Interesting.
We're going to watch.
We'll see.
John McLaughlin, Robert Cahaley, and Matt Towery.
Thank all three of you.
We appreciate it.

Bad faith political warfare and frankly, bullshit.

You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?

Hi, 25 to the top of the hour.
Your call straight ahead, 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Linda, you excited about going to the debate on Thursday?
I mean, I'm excited to see you be a moderator.
I mean, I think it's going to be really interesting.
Have you ever been a moderator before?
Of a debate that's like this?
No.
This is your first time, right?
Well, I mean, I've moderated debates often in my life, but not.
But I mean like this, like between two, you know, state leaders, you know, very similar to like a presidential debate almost.
Oh, because you know what?
And Ben, this is a compliment to both of them because in most cases, the left especially, they don't want any part of being on a show with me.
No, I agree with you.
I mean, he's definitely, he's putting his neck out there.
He's definitely taking a risk and saying you know.
They're both putting their neck out there.
They're going in the octagon.
They're jumping in the ring, right?
I mean, they're doing better than Musk and Zuckerberg.
That's for sure.
At least they're getting to the octagon.
That's a good point.
They never got there, did they?
So weak.
So weak.
Well, if you're going to call somebody out and you say you're going to meet in the octagon, go meet.
I asked Dana White about it last time he was on, and he said, Well, it looked like it was going to happen, but I guess not.
No, I know.
I know.
That'd be pretty cool to see.
Uh, all right, occasionally something comes along in life.
It changes the game drastically for the better, uh, like a jet engine, microwave oven.
Imagine life without them or a cell phone.
God help us, right?
Anyway, recently, our friends at Rhino Metals, they are America's leading gun manufacturers, gun safe manufacturer.
They launched an amazing new gun safe design.
It falls into this category.
They call it Safe X.
It means you can get the anti-pride protection and security of safes that cost thousands more for a fraction of the cost.
As a matter of fact, right now, for only $749, by the way, that's the cheapest I've ever paid for a safe of this quality.
You can get Rhino's most popular, full-size, fire-rated SafeX gun safe, and they'll curbside deliver it right to your home.
And you could see just how great these safes are.
Just go to their website.
It's rhinosafe.com, R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E, spelled like the animal, one word, rhinosafe.com, and see their side-by-side pride tests.
And you'll see Rhino Safes and SafeX outperform other brands costing five times as much.
You're saving a fortune.
And by the way, right now, there's safes and vault doors on sale.
Other ones, as much as a thousand bucks off.
Rhino Metal Safes are better in every way.
They have the best warranties, the best support.
Rhinosafe.com.
That's R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E one word.com.
All right, Linda, what else is happening in the world?
How was your Thanksgiving?
I didn't ask you.
It was good.
I mean, I think I was, I mean, I was very just so sad about everything that's happening in Israel.
And I hate to bring like Debbie Downer, but you know, I just, all I could think about was these poor families and just how much they're missing their loved ones and all the news that was coming out around it.
It was just heartbreaking, you know.
And then seeing all the crime on Black Friday, and the people are shoplifting from stores that are already giving you half off.
And I'm like, what is like it's just everything is just broken.
It's broken and everybody's out of their mind.
I'm like, shouldn't there be some kind of like redemption phase?
Like we're heading into Christmas.
Nobody wants to do the right thing.
Nobody has a moral compass anymore.
It's just like, I don't know.
It just brought me down.
Oh, you'll love this then.
Canada's Human Rights Commission suggested Christmas and Easter holidays amount to systemic religious discrimination.
You want more details or is that enough?
That's enough.
I mean, I'm just sick of these people.
I'm so sick of it.
Everything is systemic.
Okay, good answer to that.
I'm sick of it.
There was a Nike store in LA pillaged by a flash bomb for $12,000.
Yes.
Did you see this?
That's the exact store I'm talking about.
I'm like, you got to be kidding me.
I'm like, there's no part of you that thinks, like, this is the thing, right?
Like, in every group, there's one or two, right?
They're saying, yeah, let's do it.
There's not like one, two, or three going, guys, this is like super wrong.
Like, nobody in this group is like, that's just wrong.
There's no accountability.
There's no policing.
There's no nothing.
And then the store owners and the employees are like, oh, no, we can't do anything.
You know, the owner said we can't do anything.
And, you know, they might kill us.
And like, I'm like, I don't want anybody to lose their life over merchandise.
But my point is, like, I don't know about you, but when I grew up, it was like, if you stole anything, like, you know, you're a kid, you're standing in front of the candy in the front and like you take one, and then your mom or dad's like, no, put it down, put it down.
Don't take it.
We're not getting that today.
And like, sometimes you walk out with it in your pocket because you're three or four years old and mom or dad makes you walk back in and give it back and say you're sorry.
It's like a life lesson.
They don't have any of it.
You'll love this story.
We have in the state of Wisconsin, Congressman Mike Gallagher talked about this.
He's outraged.
They have a satanic temple Christmas tree display at an annual festival in his hometown of Green Bay.
Now, the people of Green Bay are just salt of the earth people.
Most of them have an ownership stake in the Packers.
Okay?
I'm just telling you, this is just, I think there's just sick people that want attention.
Don't you?
Yeah.
They're farming it in.
They want people to think that the bedrock of America is somehow corrupted by the wokeness of the left that has taken over the fringe of the nation.
And the long and the short of it is this: there is only so much that people will take before they say, that's it.
That's enough.
Chet in Florida, the free state of Florida, next on the Sean Hannity show.
Chet, how are you?
I'm fine, thank you.
I appreciate you taking my call.
Hope you and the crew had a great holiday weekend.
Yeah, had a good amount of time off for me, which was kind of refreshing.
But I was working a lot of the time, too.
I got this big debate on Thursday.
Had a lot of reading to do.
Before I get to my point, real quick, Walgreens, I'm sorry, Walmart.
I was there the other night, and two teenage boys, must have been about 18, 19, tried to walk out wearing the Grinch Christmas slippers, and they just run into a group of eight Marines, and they pushed the lady greeter check person down, and the Marines pretty much stood at attention and said, try.
So that was fun to watch.
Well, you know, whenever I see somebody just stand up for an innocent person, it does warm my heart.
We don't see enough of that, do we?
No, we don't.
Anyway, to my point, one thing I haven't heard anybody talk about is the way the CIA and the DOJ and the FBI have come after Trump, even when he was in office.
Trump wins, it terrifies me what they may do or try to do to prevent him from actually taking office.
Your opinion?
What do you mean by that?
They will somehow physically stop him from taking the office.
I don't think they'll be able to.
How do you pull that off?
I hate to say it, but I was in Fort Worth when they took out Kennedy.
And I'm convinced beyond belief that the CIA had something to do with that.
And that's from people I know that were in the government.
It's interesting because Meathead actually said that he knows the four people and he's going to name them responsible for the death of JFK.
Okay.
Not that I ever care about what Rob Reiner, he's a radical leftist, would have to say, but I do believe that there is something or has to be something in the information that the government has that they were already supposed to have released as it relates to JFK's assassination.
It must be something in there they don't want the public to see because every time they get close to releasing it, they don't do it.
Well, that's right.
Okay, if you really dig deep, and I mean 100% deep, there was people on the grassy hill, the knoll.
By the way, I haven't been down there.
I actually did a feature on it with Mark Furby.
We're trying to figure it out like everybody else.
There was people pointing behind the bushes saying gunshots were coming from that way, and the police pushed them away from there and just shoved everybody away.
And several of the witnesses claimed that mysteriously passed away within the next month.
And that is information if you dig into it to find.
Yeah.
Anyway, I appreciate the call.
I wish I could give you more information on it.
I don't know what happened, but it's certainly odd how the government handled it.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm beginning to think RFK Jr.
may be right.
Why won't they release it?
Why didn't they release it?
It's twice been scheduled to be released and it got put back.
All right, Chris is in New York on the Sean Hannity show.
Hey, Chris, how are you?
Hey, Sean, great to be with you today.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on, sir?
Hey, listen, I got a question.
You know, with everything that's going wrong in the country with the immigration problem, the border, Fed, and all, we got wars.
Let's say Trump does get into office.
What does that fix?
What does that fix look like?
Is it possible for him to even get people to come together to fix and make the hard decisions that and let's face it, there's going to be some hard choices that have to be made to fix the country and fix everything that's going on.
Now, that being said, do you think it's even possible that the Democrats and Republicans and the Senate and Congress can come together to work with this president and let him make the hard decisions that need to be done?
Well, there's a lot that he can do.
Like, for example, all the border policies of Biden has not been done with the approval of Congress.
And he could just go back to his policies on the border.
He can go back to his policies and lift the restrictions on energy production that Joe Biden has put in place.
I mean, those are things that he can do in terms of foreign policy.
You know, Trump's going to be Trump, and he's going to deal with Putin and Chi and Kim Jong-un and the Mullahs in Iran a lot differently than Joe Biden is.
immigration problem like if he starts to do well we didn't have this problem when he was president It was a lot less severe, wasn't it?
Right, but he's got to clean up this Joe Biden mess, and there may be deportation.
I mean, are they going to vilify?
I mean, look how they demonized him just because he wanted to send him out.
Of course they're going to vilify.
If people are in this country illegally and they've been led in by Joe Biden, and if there's any effort by anybody ever to remove people that didn't respect our laws, borders, and our sovereignty, they're going to be screaming bloody murder that Republicans hate human beings, that they're racist, that they hate families and children and women, etc.
That will be their mantra.
Do we think everything's fixable?
Do you think it's possible, Sean?
I don't know how you undo the mess of what will be at the time 10, 12 million illegal immigrants just under Joe Biden allowed into the country.
How do you find them?
Number one, how do you deport them?
Number two, it's a mess.
And by the way, it seems to have been done deliberately, and they continue to lie about it by telling us the border is closed and the border secure.
They repeat that mantra day in and day out.
They've lied to us repeatedly.
I don't know.
Anyway, good call, man.
Appreciate it.
Chris, Marilyn, next.
Sean Hannity Show.
Keane, how are you, man?
Good.
What's going on?
Yeah, perfect segue.
You just mentioned 12 million around illegals in here.
I just wanted to make the point that during basically 1892 to 1954, that was the number that they let in here for Ellis Island legally.
And now Biden's done that in three years, what it took them 50-something years to do back in the day.
I know a lot about Ellis Island because I have the original, not the original documents.
I have copies of the documents of my own grandparents, all four of them, coming into America legally, coming through Ellis Island.
Think about that.
Think about that number, though, what you've done in three years.
And can I just finish with a Reagan quote real quick?
You bet.
All right, here we go.
I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.
That's a good line.
That's a really good line of Reagan.
The most profound and I think timely, on top of the one you gave, is freedom is but one generation away from extinction.
I've never felt a sense that America as we know it is just fundamentally being torn apart and our systems are being torn apart.
Our fundamental belief system is torn apart.
And the desire to change this country at the deepest level is very, very real.
But we can see already, you know, three years of Biden and what it has done to the economy, what it has done to our borders, what it has done in terms of energy dependence, what it has done to the inflation rate, what it has done to pretty much, I can't name a single Biden policy, not one policy that I could say is successful and that has benefited we the people.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
California, Jeff, one minute left.
It's all yours, sir.
Hi, Sean.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
And your staff is great, by the way.
I'm pretty fond of them also.
Yeah, they're good people.
So I just wanted to highlight some blue state idiocy.
I think you reported on the I-10 going up in flames a couple weeks ago.
So basically, they had all these homeless encampments and pallets and everything under these freeways, and it caught on fire and shut down the 10.
Now, anyone who doesn't know, LA is horrible to drive in, and then all of a sudden you lose the 10.
It was just an absolute nightmare.
So they let all that stuff happen, and then they had to get to work cleaning that up and trying to fix it.
So all over LA, they had these signs, though, bragging about how it took days, not weeks, to clean up.
Like even in Long Beach, nowhere near where it happened.
So all over LA, they're bragging about it.
And then as you get to the actual stretch where it burnt, there's signs that then direct you off the freeway if you're a heavy truck.
So they're all over LA about the problem that they caused, allowed to happen, and then somewhat fixed it up.
And if it says, you know, that sounds safe to you.
I didn't hear the last part of the question.
Say that again?
I just said if, you know, you're driving on the freeway and it's directing heavy trucks to get off, does that sound safe to you?
Not really.
No, it does not.
And, you know, look, I used to be one of these people very selfishly that got annoyed when I'd have to pass an 18-wheeler like in a heavy rain because, you know, it'd be hard to see through your windshield and you try to go a little faster, you know, to get around the truck.
It was probably doing the speed limit.
At the time, I had a heavier foot.
I'd kind of go the speed limit now just as a matter of being a safer driver.
I'm more mature.
But anyway, and then I realized one day, I'm like, man, if you really think deeply about it, every item you buy and every store you go to is there because of those trucks and those truck drivers and that hard work.
And so I'm very grateful to truck drivers, very fond of them.
And they're such a vital part of our economy.
And I feel bad for them because they've now suffered through the worst recession in decades.
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call.
Toll-free.
