Well we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be in flying.
High little jail.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
If I were Biden, I would I would stay hidden.
And I'll tell you why.
Um he doesn't inspire confidence.
Beer brood here.
It is used to make the true beard.
Oh, Earth Riders, thanks for the Great Lakes.
I'm wondering why.
Who in their mind would want to run uh when you have someone of such esteem as our incumbent president of the United States.
T minus 277 days left till the presidential election.
Yeah, we are coming.
New York City From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Hannity is on.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news round up and information overload hour.
Toll free, let me give you our number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program in a minute, I'll introduce you to the competitive enterprise institute's Dr. Joel Zimberg.
He has a new piece, by the way, on NRO, and it is a very thorough, factually detailed takedown of Anthony Fauci and his management of the COVID pandemic.
It's a great compliment to uh Senator Ram Paul's book, Deception.
All of this, by the way, is the WHO director is warning the world to prepare for a disease X. What the hell is a disease X?
Now here's the WHO Director General talking about disease X as a placeholder for unknown diseases.
COVID was the first disease X. This was at the World Economic Forum, not that we should be participating.
This is one in Davos.
Uh and then he calls for other countries to sign a worldwide pandemic treaty to prepare for disease X. And then we keep reading about this hundred percent lethal variant made in a lab in China about of COVID.
I'm like, have we not learned our lesson from the first time?
Now we want a more lethal form of this.
Anyway, listen to this.
It's very revealing.
So we need to have a placeholder for that.
For the disease we don't know.
That may come.
And that was when we gave the name Disease X. Um so Disease X is a placeholder for uh unknown um disease.
Um I just wanted to start by clarifying that because there is already a look a lot of attention.
If I may, although COVID came immediately, uh, we were preparing for COVID-like uh disease.
You you may even call COVID as the first disease X. And it may happen again.
And then the other key in order to have better prepared and to address the disease X is the pandemic agreement.
The pandemic agreement can bring all the experience, all the challenges that we have faced, and all the solutions into one.
And that agreement can help us to uh prepare for the future in in a better way.
Because this is about a common enemy.
And without a shared response, starting from the preparedness, it you know, we will face the same problem as as COVID.
And deadline for the pandemic agreement is May 2024, and member states are negotiating.
This is between countries.
Um, and I hope they will deliver uh this pandemic agreement by that time.
Now, according to this study, and again we'll be joined by Dr. Joel Zimberg in a minute.
Uh, just 22% of all adults, 41% of those 65 and older, the most vulnerable group have even received the updated booster shots for COVID-19.
21% of adults, 43% of people 65 and older.
But both updates show a you know, people have lost complete confidence.
Frankly, uh I've lost it a long, long time ago in what the government is actually saying to us and telling us about COVID and what they were telling us at the time and how wrong they've been and what they really knew.
You know, that if you get the shot, you're not gonna be able to you're not gonna get COVID.
Well, that didn't work out.
And you're not gonna be able to infect others.
That didn't work out.
And then well, mass turn it turns out didn't really do did next to nothing.
Wearing them outside did next to nothing.
You know, closing down schools was detrimental more than helpful.
You know, that's why Governor DeSantis deserves a lot of props for opening up schools in August of 2020, and he got brutally criticized for doing it.
Anyway, uh joining us now from the competitive enterprise institute, Dr. Joel Zimberg, and uh anyway, it's a little chilling.
Do you do you have any clue what disease X might be?
Have you heard about this hundred percent uh variant of COVID that is uh uh a hundred percent lethal?
Have you heard about that?
Well, uh thanks for having me, Sean.
The uh this is just something that's being shared on social media and uh you know in various posts.
It's not clear yet what they're talking about.
Uh the claim is made that this is just something uh created uh to attack human what are called humanized mice uh and that they all died, but that don't worry, this has nothing to do uh with with SARS-CoV-2, which is what causes COVID, and it has nothing to do with humans.
Well they say that, but didn't they also say it was a variant of COVID?
Well, they say it's it's a they're saying it's a type of what's called coronavirus, which is that class of virus, and you know, the scary thing, whether it's the exact same thing or something different.
The scary thing is they're still experimenting uh with new viruses.
This is this whole gain of function type of research which appears to be responsible for the COVID pandemic.
It's you know, all seems to point towards there was manipulation of the virus and that it leaked from the lab in Wuhan and that that's what caused the pandemic.
And that's Fauci and company have been trying to deny right from the start to cover their you know us, their posterior.
Well, we now have the evidence, and I I've urged people to get Senator Rampol's book, Deception, because they were in a state of panic as of January of twenty twenty, was first discovered in December of twenty nineteen.
And they were in a full-fledged panic knowing that the Eco Health Alliance had gotten NIH funds, and with that funding, you know, some of that money went to the Wuhan lab where everybody knew gain of function research was taking place and coronavirus research were taking place.
Now, I just played for you the director general of the WHO, which I don't think we should ever listen to again.
I think they were nothing but the propaganda spokespeople for China during the epidemic.
But anyway, what is this disease X placeholder, you know, for unknown diseases, and that COVID was the first disease X, and and what about the push and the call for other countries to sign this worldwide pandemic treaty to prepare for disease X. Uh these people lied to us and covered for China.
Uh I don't know why anybody would ever put any faith, hope, or trust in the WHO again.
Look, you know, they they what they're the only true thing they're pointing out is that we live in uh the real world and in the real world, viruses uh they mutate, they change over time things happen.
I mean, you you can have a a pandemic form of influenza of the flu.
Uh I wrote about that with my colleagues at the uh uh council on economic advisors back in the fall of twenty nineteen, and we warned about that possibility and and you know, suggested that we had to be prepared to face that sort of eventuality, and and that's why we had the public-private partnerships that were so successful during the Trump administration in coming up with a new vaccine in record time.
In time you know, in ten months rather than ten years.
So it it's just a placeholder, and it's and frankly at this point it's uh I guess a mechanism of scaring people into uh you know bowing down to World Health Organization authority.
But it's not something new that no one knows about.
Everyone ha has been planning.
All the countries have been planning for potential pandemics.
But what's interesting if you look back at the COVID experience is that none of these pandemic plans before COVID called for things like masks or for the kind of lockdown measures that we were uh all subjected to during the pandemic by people like Anthony Fauci and and the public health establishment.
I mean, you know, they kept saying uh follow the science, but you know, their version of the science was far removed from the usual scientific method of unbiased observation and experimentation to ascertain the truth.
You know, what I detailed in that National Review article was that their science was evidence-free, it was dismissive of other points of view, and it was politically in and pol uh personally motivated.
And it they completely destroyed the public's trust, which is why you have so few people willing to take the COVID vaccines.
And you know, the end result as as people at the FDA and other places have said is you're gonna have thousands of preventable deaths because of this manipulation of science.
All right, quick break more with Dr. Joel Zimberg on the other side.
All right, well, looking back how badly your government uh performed as a results with the the whole COVID nineteen pandemic.
With Dr. Joel Zimberg is with us.
Now you've gotten to the point where Americans they they're rejecting all the boosters.
Uh and the numbers bear that out, and your article points that out.
And what I find fascinating about this is I think most people have realized uh yeah, I remember Rand Paul was slammed by people for talking about natural immunity.
And he got COVID very early on, was public about him getting COVID early on, and he survived it, and then he started talking about natural immunity.
He is a medical doctor.
Why was that so universally rejected by the people lecturing us to follow the science all the time?
You know, it it remains unclear because that is the normal course of these viral diseases that people get immunity after they're recover from an infection, and that that immunity is generally better than vaccine immunity.
So it it's weird that they were pushing this, and the only explanation anyone can come up with is that they were so tied into these lockdown measures initially, and then into the idea that everyone needed to be vaccinated, whether they had natural immunity or not, that they were willing to suppress this idea of natural immunity.
And and the upshot is we had all sorts of frontline workers, first responders, folks in the military who lost their jobs because they were unwilling to be vaccinated after they could demonstrate that they had natural immunity.
Uh and and in many cases those folks haven't regained their jobs, and we have real staffing shortages in hospitals and other places.
So i it was completely counterproductive, and it's you know, really of a piece with the kind of uh evidence-free science that the public health establishment was willing to subject us to.
I I mean it really is when you think of Fauci saying there was no science uh what uh what they were calling for mandating social distancing, you know, or Fauci in August of 2021.
This is a year after, by the way, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, uh opened up schools in the st in the state of Florida.
This is one year later, and he's advocating for vaccine mandates for school children under twelve after by that point we knew it was it was clear, and your your study points this out, your article points this out that younger people had zero to no risk of any severe COVID-19 disease or m mortality.
And I could anecdotally tell you any young person I know that got COVID, they were all a hundred percent fine.
Yeah, look, I in short it's almost worse than that because Fauci has published some scientific articles where he has said that we had really right from the get-go, reason to believe that the vaccine uh to for COVID would not be terribly effective at interfering with transmission of disease.
It wouldn't protect you from getting COVID.
Uh and whatever protection you had would be very short-lived.
Say we knew this all along, and he also had access to the data showing that with each new s variant of COVID, the whatever protection that initial vaccine had was getting less and less.
Yet he persisted in these crazy uh mandates.
He knew that it was unnecessary for school kids, yet he was uh pushing them.
And it wasn't just him.
You had the C D C pushing for these vaccine mandates for kids.
Uh you know, and they weren't being advised by scientists.
They were being advised by the teachers union.
I mean the problem with all you know with what's transpired is that no one trusts the advice anymore.
So people are uh bypassing treatments that might actually be helpful and that's particularly important if you're in one of the vulnerable groups.
If you're in the uh 65 and older group if you have multiple medical problems you should be taking advantage of all these discoveries the the vaccines and the therapeutics but people are loath to do it because they I unfortunately the their trust has been undermined by what transpired during the pandemic.
That's why you know those statistics that you cited at the outset if you're talking about how few people have uh taken the vaccine even in those vulnerable groups are are so concerning.
But you know the the Fauci and the the public health establishment wanted to run the show and and they you know they ignored every other kind of consideration.
They didn't care if they tanked the economy.
They didn't care if people got thrown out of work.
They didn't care if the lockdowns actually ended up increasing X excess mortality from other types of medical problems.
They didn't care if they shut down schools and destroyed kids' education and and resulted in years of learning loss and math and reading and those are effects that are suffered most by our most vulnerable vulnerable populations.
They didn't care about that.
They they've actually said so they you know both uh Dr. Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins, the former NIH director said we had a public health mindset.
You know we didn't care about the other issues.
Not only did they not care about it, but when anyone else tried to bring it up whether it was at the COVID task force or later on with the uh Great Barrington Declaration they actually took steps to suppress those point of views.
Uh they wanted to run the show they insisted that these are the only things that mattered their point of view and and we're suffering.
No I I applaud what you're doing.
I think people need to you know we we it's out of sight out of mind but if we don't learn the lessons the from the mistakes that we made here what are we going to do next time but make them all over again.
Anyway, Dr. Joel Zimberg thank you sir appreciate it and I hope people go to NRO and read your column will also put it up on Hannity.com thanks so much for being here.
25 to the top of the arrow thank you for being with us and 800 nine four one Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program want to remind you look it's sad when two thirds of the country are living paycheck to paycheck but it's real.
Many people are putting their bare necessities on credit cards and those interest rates are astronomical.
That's where my friends at American Financing come in they're going to give you a free no obligation uh analysis and maybe they're going to be able to save you money and help you get rid of that high interest credit card debt right now they're saving their customers an average of eight hundred and fifty four dollars a month and the way they're doing it is they now have interest rates dropping into the fives which is the lowest they've been in a long time and they're allowing people to tap into their home equity and that helps wipe out 20,
30% interest rates on your credit cards.
854 dollars a month that's what they're saving on average.
That's like a 10,000 dollar raise.
Again it's a no obligation call uh contact them credit card interest rates are insane you don't want to pay them anymore see if they can help you out uh anyway no obligation call right now 866 615 9200 866 615 9200 on the web it is American financing dot net NMLS 18234 MLS consumeraccess.org APR for eight cents start at six point four oh six percent for well qualified bars call 8666159200 for
details about credit costs and terms.
Linda do you get paid extra to do that little disclaimer at the end.
You know what?
It is my honor to do it for free and allow people to know just how high the rates are because of Joe Biden, but that they can save money with American financing.
Actually, Ken.
I mean, uh you have you seen there was even one credit card I read somewhere, maybe the Wall Street Journal, 30, 30% interest rate.
I'm like, oh my god.
Well, here's the crazy thing, right?
And all kidding aside, when we first started working with American financing, one of the things that the CEO said that I thought was really cool is he's like, listen, we have no idea.
We might be able to save you money, but you gotta contact us.
We gotta go through it.
If you can save an extra 700 bucks a month, why wouldn't you?
And I was like, Yeah, why wouldn't you?
Because nobody else is offering to do that.
Well, that could be the difference between being in the in the black or the red for any family on any given money.
Right, your groceries, your car payment, your mortgage, yada yada.
You gotta love Gavin Newsom recalling in this leaked footage, a store worker blaming him and his policies, and he did it right to his face as they were both witnessing what was a brazen theft unfolding in California.
The video shared on X by a reporter meeting with Newsom and other elected California officials.
The governor said the exchange came while he was checking out of the store and observed a man just walking out of the store without paying.
Why aren't you stopping him?
I mean, is this how out of touch Gavin Newsom is this shock?
This is shocking.
Yeah, well, we knew that from his French laundry moment, you know, where they were at the vineyards and all that other crap.
I mean, he has no clue.
Noose, and by the way, his kids got in-person learning because they went to a private school, unlike every other kid that was in public school in a state.
Uh, and yeah, he went to the French laundry, did admit to me that was a dumb mistake, but you know, he didn't he did it.
The governor lowered the threshold, and there's no accountability.
And uh how how is he that out of touch?
I'll give you one latest example.
Because all these towns and cities, they're all losing businesses that have been there, you know, for decades and decades.
For example, Denny's, I don't know if you know what Denny's is.
Do you know what Denny's Denny's is?
You gotta know what Denny's is.
I know what Denny's is, sure.
Okay, all right.
You know, it's it's kind of like IHOP root and tootin', you know, whatever, fruit and fresh and fruity something.
Um I personally like Waffle House.
That's it.
Rudy 2D, fresh and fruity.
I I like scattered, extra smothered, and two over medium, please at Waffle House.
That's my meal.
I love it.
But anyway, uh Shutters has been in Oakland 54 years.
Why are they shutting down?
High crime.
So anyway, why aren't you stopping him?
This is Gavin Newsom at you know, telling the employee, well, why aren't you stopping it?
I'm like, why don't you know as the governor what the hell's been going on all over your state?
How could you be that out of touch?
Here's Newsom saying that he complained to Target the the target worker's manager because the target worker blamed him for the shoplifting.
This is amazing in a Zoom call.
You drop this.
And he comes back, picks it up, and he's walking out.
As we're checking out, the woman says, Oh, he's just walking out, he didn't pay for that.
I said, Why are you stopping?
She goes, Oh, the governor.
Swear to God, true story.
And my mom's going.
The governor lowered the dress up.
There's no there's no there's no accountability.
I said, it's just not true.
I she got, I said, we have a tenth tub.
It's 950, the 10th tub it's in America.
She didn't even know what I was talking about.
By the way, it's the tenth toughest in America.
Look it up.
No one gives a damn about it.
Right.
And I said, it's just not true.
There's still stop.
He said, Well, we don't stop them because the governor.
And then she goes, she looks at me twice, and then she freaks out.
She calls everyone over, wants to take photos.
I'm like, no, I'm not taking a photo.
We're in a conversation with your manager.
Are you blaming the governor?
And it was, you know, $380 later.
And I was like, why am I spending $380?
Everyone can walk the hell right out.
Not fair.
Not fair.
Yeah.
It's my target.
I I mean, you really can't make that up.
I mean, I'm shocked he's that out of touch.
You know, we we make fun of the fact that every time, and I'm a little amazed by the fact that every time I go to a store, that people are like, Well, why are you here?
I I'm like, I like to go grocery shopping, although I have discovered Instacart, and Instacart is pretty cool, but I love there's certain items I like to pick out.
But inevitably, whenever I go to any any place to purchase anything, a Target or Walmart or uh, you know, down in Florida, Publix, whatever.
And people always like, well, what are you doing here?
Don't you think that's an odd question, Linda?
What what am I doing there?
I'm buying food because I like to eat.
That's what I'm saying.
Well, I think the thing I I mean, I don't think that people realize well, two things.
I don't think that people realize how much you like to eat, how much you like to cook, um that you're really in the world.
So cooking my own food.
But I think they would be surprised to know you had your own garden, you grew your own vegetables.
You know, maybe you were supposed to be a chef in your other life.
But I'm not sure.
Well, in fairness to the gardening part, I'm gonna be very honest about it.
Yeah.
I don't have time to do a garden.
Yeah, and and what's the same.
But I mean, she said you were good like when you started, like that you could actually you were pretty good.
No, I we years ago in the eighties, we had this big plot of land that was available, and we we built a huge garden, and I I began to realize how hard farming is, and you know, and uh but I we were very successful.
Like the last three years, all I really want uh the cucumbers are great, the bell peppers are great, the tomatoes are great, love all of it.
Uh we got watermelon this year, that was pretty cool.
Uh what else did we plant?
You know, we we plant a bunch of herbs.
I happen to like pestos, so I like basil, fresh basil.
And anyway, so the one thing that I really want is I love corn.
I love fresh corn.
And I love sweet corn.
And there's not been a year in three years that we've been successful in getting out the you know, corn out of the ground.
And you know that corn doesn't do anything for you, right?
Okay.
Like literally has no nutritional benefit.
I'm just saying.
Zero.
It just goes in and it goes right out.
So it goes in and out.
You can put salt on, basically.
Yeah, but I d I drench it in butter and salt, and it tastes amazing, and that's why I like it.
I yeah, it's one of my cheat cheat items, definitely.
Um, it's not the healthiest thing.
But when we were doing this thing, when we first started gardening together and we successfully raised the corn, you know, I'd stop at a local stand and a farmer's stand and I could buy like twelve years of corn for two bucks.
I'm like, why am I busting my ass when I can buy it here and it's just as good as the one I I grew myself.
And you're supporting a local farmer.
Yeah.
And then I I gave up on that work forever.
But I do like to go grocery shopping.
Uh, but this tells me Gavin Newsom, when's the last time you've been in a Target?
What is he actually talking about, though?
We're the tenth toughest.
We're the tenth.
What is he talking about?
I have no idea.
I mean he sounds like a psycho.
I when he was debating DeSantis and I put up that, you know, violent crime, rape, robbery, homicides, that the the number per 100,000 was twice as large in California than than it was in Florida.
He starts talking about Tampa.
I said, I'm looking at the aggregate of your states here.
This and by the way, those statistics I cited came directly from the FBI.
Just like everything else was fact-based.
Notice in that debate, one thing I didn't get uh criticized for was the facts that I put up on the screen, because we spent an enormous amount of time preparing to make sure that we get everything right.
And I got everything right.
And the statistics for California were atrocious and they weren't as bad in in Florida.
Yeah, they I mean I think it's unfortunate.
They don't they don't like us on the Newsom side anymore.
They're not friends with us anymore.
I got news for you.
I was never friends with Newsom.
I'm gonna tell you right now.
That was never that's never a thing, never was gonna be a thing.
Those two can just take it and shove it.
They're not nice people, they're not honest with their state, they're not honest with the people of America.
They're killing that beautiful state.
And they're doing it on purpose.
Well, now they've introduced this was news today, it's in Politico, uh, the first in the nation slavery reparations package.
By the way, New York is now uh following suit and they're looking into that as well.
They're also proposing a wealth tax in California, and I got went over this uh I guess a week, two weeks ago, whenever it was, when it first came out, that they would literally tax a percentage of wealth uh based on what mu this is after taxed money.
In other words, they want another bite at the apple while you're alive.
And then if you leave the state, they still want to want you to pay a percentage of of your wealth if you well, if you made your wealth in California, therefore you owe us more money.
But that was not the law at the time that people lived in the state.
I don't see how that's gonna withstand any type of real legal challenge, although this c you know, this country's court system is a complete and utter mess.
Uh but they don't even want you to leave the state.
I mean, I'm telling people in New York, watch out because as goes California, so goes the country.
It's all it's gonna happen to all these blue states.
And it's a just a disaster.
Your city is not as bad.
I don't think that uh it listen, I don't think that any state should be giving reparations.
Um, you know, as far as as far as reparations go, it's a very complicated issue with a lot of people making a claim on something that many of them have no claim to, and a lot of other people who are paying a debt that they have no guilt hand in, and it's a good idea.
No culpability.
I I call it the guilty hand.
You know, it's like you know, there's a there's a lot going on in this country right now that we're not allowed to talk about, and we're not allowed to say what it really is because it makes people very uncomfortable.
And what's happening is is people are getting hurt.
There's a lot of people getting hurt because everybody's afraid to be unwoke for even five minutes for the truth.
The border is a perfect example of that.
You know, these people are running to the border and they're saying, not my nation.
The government doesn't want to protect us, no problem.
We'll do it.
I really really fear how this is gonna end.
You know, when I say I pray to God that I'm wrong that terrorist cells are in this country because of t 10 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants.
When I say that, I I don't say that with any joy in my heart.
We live through 911.
We just watched, we were reminded of what happened on 911 on October 7th, what happened to Israel.
We know what people, evil people are capable of.
You nobody's gonna convince me that our top geopolitical foes are not sending tens of thousands of people here and that all of them only want a better life for themselves and their families.
You're never gonna convince me that's the case.
Yeah, but it's not.
They're military age men by themselves, flipping the bird, taking pictures.
You know, you're on the subway.
I mean, I'm on the subway three days a week, and you know, during the week when we're in the office, and people are on the subway just doing whatever they want.
There's five and six selling candy.
What on by choice.
I have given Linda full permission to work.
Good for me to see it with my own eyes.
It's not it's not a news story.
It's it's reality.
It's you know, I could sit on on the bench on on the e-train and just take a video.
You know, you got one guy taking a dump in one seat, you got another guy shooting up in another seat, and you got five and six-year-olds stealing box uh selling boxes of candy to strangers.
They're five and six.
As somebody that technically could be described as your boss, um, I don't want you in that environment, and I have strongly urged you never to go back in that environment because what you're describing is chilling.
And now there are other people around the country in Red America that are listening to you and they're saying that that can't possibly be true.
And I'm like, oh, it's more than true.
That is happening every day.
You know, look at the cops in Times Square in New York.
And for the record, you know, I worked a number of years uh around the block from Times Square, exact I know the exact location where that happened.
I could walk from Fox to that location in under a minute.
That's how close it was to where I used to work when I lived in New York.
And it's not far from where our New York radio studios were and are.
You still, you know, you still go in and work in the office.
I don't.
Um, and but I've given, you know, permission to uh for everybody basically to work from home.
I but to your point, like they're beating these cops up in the broad daylight on the street.
Biden hochel can't figure out.
I'm like, you're here illegally.
You've committed a federal crime, you've entered the country illegally, and now you're beating up police officers.
I think the point that everybody needs to take from that is they're not scared of our police, they are not scared of our people.
They will kick your ass just like they kick theirs, and you have no protection.
You got nothing.
No, they would they didn't get they were released immediately.
They were let out of jail immediately.
Thank you, Kamala.
Where's Eric Adams?
Well, no, thank you.
Uh let's see, Kathy Hokel.
Thank you.
Look, New York City Mayor Eric Adams did try.
I mean, they've now put Hank more handcuffs on New York City police by forcing them every encounter they have, they have a whole pile of paperwork to do.
That's less time out on the street.
Hey, I it's insane.
It is the definition of insanity.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
A really good handity tonight.
The latest down at the border.
By the way, Governor Ron DeSantis is uh gonna be in.
He is sending Florida National Guard troops to support Governor Abbott.
Uh we'll check in with Newt Gingrich on election 2024.
We'll have the latest on the disaster that is Joe Biden's open borders with Bill Melusion.
Uh we'll check in with Senator Tim Scott, the latest on the economy.
Also, candidate Mozzie Pillup is gonna be with us.
And uh she's running a very tight race to fill George Santos's seat.
By the way, voting starts early voting this weekend.
