This is an iHeart Podcast.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
And with us right now, Steve Moore, a brilliant economist.
And of course, you see him all over television.
He's a best-selling author.
His book, which you should get, is Trump Anomics and GovZilla is another great book.
And read his columns.
But he also runs this thing.
It's called the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.com.
And every day they put out the best briefing, news stories, analysis.
It's really good.
Donald Trump reads it every day.
And if you want to get this sent to your email, it's free.
Just go to committee to unleash prosperity.com.
Steve Moore, how you doing?
Mark, good to be with you.
Thanks so much for having me.
I appreciate the plug for the Committee to Unleash Prosperity outline.
And you left out the best part, though, Mark, that the price.
You left out the price.
Free, absolutely free.
No inflation in our class.
So, yeah, if people want to get it, just go to committee.unleashprosperity.com and sign up.
This story here, first story today.
Joe Biden says, I never cashed a paycheck.
What is he talking about?
Well, this was a quote that I had missed from about a month ago or so in the Washington Post.
They did this flowery story about Joe Biden and how all he does is care about other people and what a self-sacrificial guy this is.
And Biden says, and he's boasting, he's boasting in his interview that he's, I don't remember the exact quote, you might have it, but something like, I never even looked at a paycheck.
I've never worked, you know, for a private company or anything like that.
And here's a guy who's 70 years old.
He's 78.
I don't know how old is he.
And he's never had a real job in his whole life.
And he's trying to tell businesses how to run their operation when he's never even worked for a business.
Never had a job in his life, yet he's made more money from some corporations, all of them overseas, than anybody.
Burisma, does that count?
Chinese hedge funds?
Right.
But it's a problem, isn't it?
You've got, you know, like Chuck Schumer, a senator here in New York, another guy right out of college, went to work in politics.
We've got all these politicians who have never worked in the private sector.
Don't you think it should be a requirement before taking office?
I've always believed in terminals, and I believe that, you know, if we had a rotation in office, you'd get people to really understand what's going on in the real world.
I really believe, Mark, as someone myself who's lived in the bubble of the Washington swamp now for 30-some years, that it's like living in Disneyland.
It's so detached from what's happening in real America.
And so this explains, by the way, there was a piece, I think it was in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about why are people so unhappy?
I mean, everything's going so well with the economy, Mark.
I mean, why don't people get it?
Well, maybe it's because the average family is $2,000 poorer today than they were when Biden came into office.
If you're really rich or if you live in Washington, D.C. or Wall Street or in Silicon Valley, things are going great.
But for people around the country who live, you know, working class Americans live paycheck to paycheck, they are poorer today.
And that's why they're angry.
But nobody in Washington seems to get that.
Yeah, also, you've got the most corrupt media.
You know, that jobs report came out and they were bragging about it.
Look at all the jobs.
But when you look at that, don't you see in the fine print, a lot of them are part-time jobs, and many of these people have two or three jobs, that sort of stuff.
Yeah, what's the old joke, Mark, that, you know, I know the job market is good because I've got three of those jobs, you know, and people are having to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet because wages and salaries are not keeping up with inflation.
And I want to make sure that the listeners know that, and I think most people understand this, when Joe Biden says, you know, prices are falling, prices aren't falling.
I mean, that's the words out of mouth.
Somebody's never been to a grocery store or a hardware store or McDonald's lately.
I mean, my God, the big Mac meal in a lot of areas is now like $16.
I remember with $6.
And so it's not that prices are falling.
The inflation rate has come down.
But Mark, inflation is still running at about 4%.
And for a lot of items, it's running faster than that.
Everything that you buy today is about 18% more expensive.
Your groceries are 22% more expensive.
Your gas at the pump is 33% more expensive.
And your mortgage payment utilities are like 50% more expensive.
So that's why people are angry.
Hey, if Donald Trump gets elected, which he will in November, and then he takes office in January, how long does it take to fix that?
How much of that is baked in?
And it would take years to get that out of the economy.
That's a really good question.
In fact, I was lucky enough to have dinner with Trump during the Super Bowl we were watching the football game.
He had about 100 people there.
And that's why I chatted him with a bit.
And I asked him that question.
I said, you know, Mr. President, how long is it going to take, do you think, for you to fix things?
And he said it would take him about six months to fix things.
And I think he's right.
I mean, remember how quickly he got to work back in 2016, but now he's going to really hit the ground running.
He's going to have a great team of economic and business leaders.
And you know this because he's said it many times, but he repeated to me.
He said, well, the first thing we're going to do is drill and drill and drill.
We're going to use American oil.
We're going to lower the price of gasoline.
But think of all the oil we could be producing in Texas and Oklahoma and North Dakota and West Virginia.
And rather than getting it from Russia and Iran and Venezuela and OPEC countries.
And it's a no-brainer, but Trump is going to do it because he wants America to be an energy-dominant country again.
And so all these things can be achieved.
I do worry about the massive increase in the debt.
Biden has increased the national debt by $6 trillion in three years.
I mean, think about that.
I know those numbers are almost incomprehensible to people, but this is the most financially reckless president we've ever had in America.
Yeah.
When it comes to, we're talking to Steve Moore, when it comes to getting something done, let's take climate change, very important to the Democrats, climate change.
Have they gotten anything done?
Everything they do seems to be the wrong thing from electric cars to getting rid of plastic bags.
And when they got to put somebody in charge, they put some sleazy political operative like Podesta in charge.
What the hell does he know about climate change?
I don't know if I should be laughing or crying, but you're exactly right.
So, you know, there's a $350 billion, again, $9 million, not thousand, $350 billion green energy slush fund in the White House that they're passing out to their political friends.
Because, you know, if you're wondering why the Democrats have three times more money than the Republicans, it's because they've got all the tax dollars that they're passing out to their voters and to their interest groups.
But in any case, you're so right, though.
If you look at what's happened in the last three years, by the way, do you know what the worst performing stocks were in 2023?
No.
Green energy.
Green energy.
They collapsed.
You know what the best performing stocks were?
Oil companies.
Oil and gas.
You know what?
In 2023, despite the fact that everybody talks about, oh, we're in this green energy transition and it's moving along wonderfully and everybody's involved.
China's involved.
India's, of course, they're not involved.
There was more use of fossil fuels in 2023 than any year ever in the history of the world.
Does it sound like they're making much progress at these climate change conferences?
Incidentally, today in the United States, I know you follow this stuff pretty closely.
Do you know what percentage of all of our energy that we get comes from fossil fuels?
No.
All of the energy that we use.
I have no idea.
80%.
Wow.
So these lunatics, folks, they want to take us from 80% fossil fuels to zero.
Have you ever heard of this idea of net zero?
But don't we need petroleum to make everything, like from this bottle here to this desk, everything?
Of course.
If you wanted to destroy, look, I don't prescribe motives to people, but if you did want to destroy the country, a good way to destroy a country is to take away its energy supply.
Because as you said, everything we have, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
The cell phone I'm talking on, you know, the meal you had at lunch today, you know, the car you're driving, everything is derivative of energy.
And if you wanted to cripple an economy, you take away their energy and make it much, much more expensive.
And I don't know if this is some kind of sinister, diabolical plan that they have, but is there anybody who really thinks we can run a $26.5 trillion economy with windmills?
Yeah.
Hey, they also never mention that a windmill takes 300 gallons of oil to operate.
They call it the lubricant, but it's oil, basically.
Yeah, there's an old saying that you can make wind minerals out of steel, but you can't make steel out of windmills.
So, hey, the other thing, you go to a supermarket, everything is plastic.
Everything, every beverage is in a plastic bottle.
Everything you buy is in a plastic bag.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of rows of plastic.
Why can't I get a plastic bag when it's time to check out?
And there's about a number of states that are banning, they're banning plastic bags.
And it hasn't reduced, you know, the amount of pollution or anything.
It's just making it a hassle to carry your groceries.
And, you know, sometimes the left takes up these crazy causes.
And so the plastic bag, you know, it's an annoyance, too.
Have you noticed now you have to pay an extra cents or something to get a plastic bag after paying $150 for groceries?
Unbelievable.
Hey, they put out this list.
You covered it in the hotline.
Worst presidents, best presidents.
Oh, God.
But the panel, it says scholars, which means these pointy-headed intellectuals at colleges.
What do they know about anything?
Oh, my God.
So this was, it's almost comical.
So the political scientists and the historians, you know, that teach at our great universities and are polluting the minds of our kids, they put out a rating of the best and worst presidents.
And some of the ones at the best were, you know, obviously George Washington is our greatest president.
And I think most people know that.
And they did rate George Washington highly.
But what was funny is the recent presidents.
So I'm not making this up.
Most of us know in modern times, one of our greatest presidents, of course, was Ronald Reagan.
I mean, who would you dispute that, Mark?
No.
Reagan, Lincoln Trump.
The American economy.
I mean, he was an icon.
He was one of the, I think he should be on Mount Rushmore.
Well, they ranked, and I'm making this up.
They ranked not only Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, but Joe Biden as a greater president than Ronald Reagan.
I mean, these people living on Mars.
And so, you know, by the way, I would probably put Joe Biden in the bottom five of all the presidents, and they rank him, I think, 14th or 15th greatest presidents.
I guess they rank it on who produces the most inflation.
Yeah.
So, hey, New York City, with this crazy judgment against Trump, it turns out he has to 300 million, but he has to put up 450 million.
Is this going to scare a lot of businesses away from New York City?
Yeah, it is.
It's sad, too, because I love American cities.
I love New York.
I'm from Chicago, another great city that is being ruined by progressive policies.
Look what's happening in San Francisco.
Look what's happening in Seattle.
And, you know, New York has lost 3 million people in the last decade to other states.
It's the biggest migration in the history of the country out of New York because of high taxes and terrible schools and high crime and all the problems that the progressive politicians don't deal with.
And so the last thing New York needs is an excuse for businesses to move out.
But now, after what they did to Donald Trump, by the way, Donald Trump, you know this.
You're in Manhattan.
I mean, Donald Trump was one of the people who built New York.
And, you know, he built great buildings.
And remember the ice rink that the city couldn't build, so he built it himself.
You know, this is the way they repay him.
They say, we don't want any more of your business here.
Well, there have been a number of major developers who are saying, okay, we're out of here because they can steal Trump's money.
By the way, they are stealing his money.
They can do that to anybody.
Yeah.
He also rescued parts of New York, Grand Central Station, that whole area.
Yes.
They were going to tear down Grand Central.
He turned it around when he put that hotel there.
Columbus Circle was dead forever until he built a building there.
So you're absolutely right.
Well, we're out of time, but Steve Moore has this great group, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.com.
It's Steve Forbes, Steve Moore, Arthur Laffer, Larry Cuddle, and they put out the best newsletter every day.
Great issues, great analysis.
Thanks so much.
It's free.
You can just order it and it'll come right to your email, free every day.
Go to CommitteeToUnleashProsperity.com, CommitteeToUnleashProsperity.com, and get Steve Moore's book, GovZilla.
And Steve Moore, thanks for being with us.
Hey, Mark, have a great night, and I'll talk to you again soon.
Thank you.
All right.
Take care.
Oh, and everybody check out Hannity.com.
There's always great stories there.
And make sure you watch Hannity tonight, 9 o'clock, the Fox News channel.
And you can follow me on Instagram, MarkSimoneNYC at Instagram.
You can follow me on Twitter, but you'll never see me because they still got that shadow banning going on.
And I kind of gave up on them.
Anyway, we'll take some calls in a minute.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, welcome back.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Should we take a call?
Let's go to Don in Iowa.
Don, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Hi, Mark.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm not in Iowa.
I'm in Dallas, Texas right now as we speak.
I'm a truck driver.
Oh, look at how much, look how far this guy got.
He's been on hold 38 minutes.
He got like four states away.
Very good.
I travel well.
I'm from your state, by the way.
I grew up in New Hampshire.
I live in Iowa now.
Oh, well, I'm from Michigan originally, but we love New Hampshire.
And what do you want to say, Don?
Well, you had posed the question of what to do with all these illegal immigrants from Venezuela that they won't deport.
And the solution is simple.
Send them back to the country that let them into our country, Mexico.
Okay, I agree.
Thanks for calling, Don.
Yeah, that's the Trump plan when he takes office.
Operation Deportation.
Eisenhower did it.
He got a million and a half returned in one year in 1954.
Today's technology, everything did, we could probably do 3 million the first year.
Anyway, we'll take some calls in a moment.
We've got lots to talk about.
Don't go away.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Normally I'm on our big flagship here in New York, W-O-R, sixth floor.
So I had to come all the way up to the 10th floor where the big network studio is here.
And Linda is actually sitting there staring at me.
What's the matter?
Did I do something wrong already?
Listen, I'm just, you know, paying attention to my talented and effervescent host, as is my way.
See how she sounds on the airline.
You're off there.
Why'd you do that?
You know what it is?
It's because you're down there in the beautiful sixth floor with Charlemagne's big, beautiful purple chairs and all the other poses.
I see you in the, what is it, the hallway with the fog and all the things.
I mean, my goodness, you're always rolling in it.
Then you come up to the news floor.
It's quiet.
Everyone's working.
They're diligent.
You know, there's no good times and high fives up here.
Yeah, I don't understand this floor.
Check out my Instagram.
You'll see pictures of downstairs, the sixth floor.
We got all the big music station.
We got buffets everywhere you look.
We got music playing from everybody.
They made you tea.
Come on.
Yeah, up here, you get tea with honey that's like seven years old.
That's all black and clogged.
But you feel better, right?
Yeah, I was just a little raspy, but I feel better.
So, you know, Donald Trump has this relative.
Her name is Mary Trump.
You know this woman?
Oh, yeah.
Complete wacko.
Mary, Mary Qui Contrari.
Total wacko.
And they put her on everywhere, MSNBC media, as if she's some sort of Donald Trump expert.
She has never met Donald Trump.
They've never met.
What's the cousins I have?
I don't talk to.
Give me a break, Mary.
Everybody knows you don't know.
Okay, that's you've never talked to.
She's never met him.
I've researched this very carefully with the entire family.
She was once in the same room with him.
It was some big White House event.
The one that's friendly with her is Trump's sister, Mary Ann.
She's friendly with her.
She talks to her.
And there was some big event, a thousand people in the East Room of the White House.
She brought Mary Trump there and never got close to Donald Trump.
She's never met Donald Trump.
She's never had any interaction with him.
And here she is.
She's supposed to be some sort of expert, you know, an MSNBC expert.
So Trump will have to put up $450 million in this ridiculous lawsuit in New York.
So she says, this is MediaIke, which is like a left-wing, kooky left-wing site.
She says Trump will probably sell classified secrets to the highest bidder to raise the money.
Now, he's got all kinds of properties he could sell.
I know the one he's going to sell.
It's right over there, right out the window down the block.
It's 1296th Avenue.
He owns 30% of it.
It's not a Trump building.
It doesn't even have his name on it.
So his 30% is worth about $500 million, a billion.
No, million, $500 million.
And the other owner is the big real estate company, Bernado.
They'd love to buy him out.
So he'll sell that off.
That'll raise the money.
And, you know, these are the same idiots that for 10 years told us Trump actually owns nothing.
He has no money.
He actually doesn't have any money.
Now, watch, he's going to cough up to $450 million without blinking.
And he'll get it back.
He won't have to really pay it in the end.
This case will go to a legitimate court, a rational court, and they'll knock it down and get rid of it.
But you got to put it up in the meantime.
You know, the fact that he could sell that one thing and raise $450 million justifies the whole loan he took out.
As the bank said, his personal assets were more than enough to cover any loan.
We didn't even care about his properties or his business.
You know, Forbes magazine, they're not big Trump fans.
I don't know why, but they always, when they do that 400 list of the richest, they always try to get him as low as they can get him.
And even they put him at 2.6 billion.
And Bloomberg hates Trump.
They really hate Trump.
And on the Bloomberg thing, they got him at almost $3 billion.
And I don't know why they didn't bring that up in court.
I mean, this is him personally.
He should have just brought that up in court and used that as evidence.
But you had this wacko, nutty judge who, you know, you ever watch Law and Order?
Can I ask a question?
Yes, I have watched Law And Order.
We're not taking questions at the moment but uh, we'll make an exception.
I want to know and I need to know this judge Ergonon and Garon, it rhymes with Moron.
Yeah, just remember that.
So we'll call him judge Moron.
Yeah, so judge Moron has this disgusting habit of taking these naked selfies in the gyms and in these mirror pictures and they're all over instagram and x and this and that, and nobody thinks that this is worth looking into.
Like, i'm just saying like, this is the person to whom we are anticipating good judgment.
Well, it's really hurt the New York City courts.
Like I said, if you watch Law And Order, the judge is always a very sober, somber uh, you know older, somber sort of guy.
You look at this guy and he's a nice looking guy.
I mean, you know when you're sorry what?
He's not a bad looking guy, he looks nice.
When was last time?
You the optometrists?
Clearly we have.
No, i'm just saying if you saw him walking down the hall, you wouldn't say oh, what an ugly guy he looks like.
Yes, I would.
But then you start watching him and he makes the dumbest faces, the goofiest faces.
He's a really weird, silly guy.
He's gross.
I picture him in the JOE Biden CLUB with whispers and weird sniffing, I don't know.
Oh, you know, he's definitely a weird weird, bizarre guy.
He looks like uh, you know, when you go to college and you walk in the room for the first day and the professor looks like a real left-wing wacko nut job who uh, is going to teach you the worst, most misleading nonsense and you can't even talk to them, you can't explain anything to him.
This judge, before the trial started, before a single witness, before any testimony, declared Trump guilty.
You know again, I watch Law And Order.
They always have these pre-motion, pre-trial.
They work.
I've never seen an episode where the judge goes, oh, by the way guilty, all right, let's start the trial.
It's a victimless crime.
I mean.
Every single person that they interviewed, to whom, what a loan was given from, to whom he did business with, all said the same things.
Well, a lot of people think this is all going to get overturned once it goes to a real court.
A lot of people think this law could be challenged in the Supreme Court, and it's only New York has a law like this that the law could be declared unconstitutional, that you can't charge somebody with fraud if there was no victim and the part that really will be proven unconstitutional.
With no victim, no fraud ever taking place, you can't impose a remedy on somebody.
It's based on absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing.
So um, I don't know.
This it'll get tossed out now.
The only thing is you got to put up this money and it could take six months a year.
Whatever all these cases, nothing will happen in any of these cases till after the election.
Uh, Jack Smith if that's really his name, this Jack Smith weirdo with the bug eyes and the cape.
Anytime you see a guy that has a cape in the picture, you know you're dealing with a complete wacko.
Uh, a cape.
Unless you're Batman or Dracula or something, you don't need to own a cape.
So this guy's going no place with this, with this case.
Uh meantime, Joe Biden has mountains of classified documents.
You know, if you read that special counsel report, this never gets any coverage.
Well, my staff packed it.
It's my fault.
I should have kept an eye on the staff.
It says right on page 151, he was personally packing those boxes.
This guy was thorough.
He interviewed the movers, the moving company, multiple witnesses saw Joe Biden personally pack those boxes, even at one point carrying them to the truck himself.
Also, it's too complicated to explain, but he details in this report how he can prove that Joe Biden was in and out of those boxes at home multiple times.
And you go in the box, the folder is saying big letters classified.
He said in his lies, it was the staff.
Then he said, I never even knew they were there.
I never knew they were in my house.
So they caught him a million times.
He's not going to get charged with anything.
Why are they charging Menendez, the Democratic senator?
Somehow this guy got charged.
Must have done something anti-Biden.
Yeah, he essentially had a moment of brilliance and decided to stand up and probably do something somewhat moral.
And they were like, oh, enough of this guy.
Bobby, it's your turn.
Now you're going down.
And all of a sudden, it's like, it's like it's like Bruce Almighty when he created those scenes in the movie where he found Jimmy Hoffa's body.
I'm like, oh, so you just happened to go in Bob Menendez's closet, find the suit with the gold bullion bricks in his suit.
I mean, give me a break.
What a crock.
Nobody believes this.
Well, he is kind of an idiot.
I mean, who has...
Oh, no, he's a total tool.
And I would use a different word if I wasn't on the air.
He's a total tool.
He's a really bad dude.
And I don't feel sorry for him any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
But I just think it's interesting how they flip the script on people who decide that they don't want to play ball.
Yeah, if you've got $650,000 and you're not the Sopranos, and you also have gold bars.
Who has gold bars in their house?
It doesn't make any sense.
And did you see this story about apparently 15 years ago, he's hooking up with some woman, and she's not bad looking.
Look at the picture.
She's pretty good looking.
What the hell was she thinking?
But she said he took her to his house and opened up the safe and showed her stacks and stacks of cash.
Now, if that's what you got to do to impress a woman.
That's funny.
Well, I know some guys, they want to impress a woman.
They said, hey, look, here's a picture of me and my nephew.
And he's playing with a little kid.
And it's actually a kid he rented just to take some pictures with.
Oh, it's like the guys that rent the dogs in the park.
Yeah, I mean, they rent a dog.
I mean, I can see trying to appeal to a woman that way.
But if you have to show her stacks of cash, this might not be the most romantic relationship.
This might not be the most sincere woman you could be going out with.
But apparently it worked because here she is taking nude pictures with him.
And yeah, Linda, look at Linda's face.
She doesn't like any of this.
I mean, he's just gross.
His wife is gross.
They're just gross.
It's just all gross people doing gross things.
And unfortunately, it's just a sickness.
It's a virus, you know, through the entire, the halls of Congress are just, it's gross.
Like our founding fathers are turning over in their graves.
It's repulsive.
You know what's funny?
These Biden-type guys, they're so tough.
You come after them, Menendez, whoever, they'll indict you.
Eric Adams was heading to the White House to confront Biden about the migrants.
All of a sudden, the FBI shows up and they're going to indict him.
But you get these, what's her name, Rashid Talib?
Why are they so afraid of these people?
Why don't they go after her?
Biden, you know, helping Israel, all of this.
Listen to this.
Talib, she threatens Biden.
It's also important to create a voting block, something that is a bullhorn to say enough is enough.
We don't want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction.
We want to support life.
We want to stand up for every single life killed in Ghassa.
I want you to think of El Shama.
I want you to think of Rima.
I want you to think of Sidra.
I want you to think of all of the amazing young children and the people.
Again, lives were lost in Ghassa.
This is the way you can raise our voices.
Don't make us even more invisible.
Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government.
If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted.
It's a long cut.
What she's basically saying is wipe out the Jews.
This is what she's saying.
She hates Israel.
Wait, this is the same woman.
So she's crying for Hasa and Fasa and all the other names that she said.
Okay, fine.
And then she says, we're so sad about them.
Oh, but by the way, she was the only person on a bipartisan vote to not condemn rape and sexual violence as just that against the Jewish women that were taken hostage by Hamas.
She's an absolute raging nutcha, but Biden now is turning on Israel because he doesn't, she threatened, you know, well, I'll go against you in Michigan.
Why is he so afraid of her?
Get those guys that went to Babmen Index's house, send them to her house.
Get those agents that grabbed Eric Adams on the street and go grab.
I mean, not that you should be doing that.
You shouldn't be persecuting enemies.
But if he does that with these, why is he so afraid of this woman?
Listen, I'll tell you right now.
If you love Hamas that much and you want to go help the poor children of Gaza, then you go with the UN and the Red Cross and you go volunteer.
Get your hands dirty.
Get over there and you help.
Okay.
Let's see you put your words to action.
I can't wait to see her over there.
Yeah, and then the two-state solution.
We just tried that.
We had a two-state solution.
Look how that worked out.
And the Palestinians should have a state.
Yes, that would be good.
You know where the dumbest place you could put it is?
In Israel.
Just stop.
Here's the funny thing, right?
So if you've ever been to Israel and you've walked through the various sects of Israel.
Have you been, Mark?
Yes.
Okay.
So I've been three times.
And when you go through, you'll see that all of these people in Israel, some of them are Muslim, some of them are Christian.
There's churches, there's mosques, there's all these things.
You go to Palestine, you don't see anything.
There's nothing because they don't use their money for anything except weapons.
It's just a bunch of people living in squalor under oppression.
And they are completely and totally mind-brainwashed.
It is insane.
But Israel allows everything.
Yeah.
And all the money we've sent, the billions and billions and billions was spent buying tunnels, weapons, bombs, all that sort of stuff.
Anyway, we'll take some calls in a minute.
800-941-Sean is the number.
800-941-Sean.
And we'll take some calls in just a moment.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, welcome back.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Let's just take a call.
Let's go to Lou in Tennessee.
Lou, how you doing?
Mark, I'm a former New Yorker who left Tennessee.
See, you can never tell.
How come you're still in New York?
I love it here.
Where are you in Tennessee?
A place called Mount Juliet, about 20 minutes from Nashville, 15 minutes from BNA Airport.
Loving it.
What are you, like the guy on Green Acres?
What's his name?
No, I don't have a pitchfork, Mark.
Oh, okay.
Come on, you miss New York.
No, I don't miss it.
I pay $21,000 in taxes in New York.
Same property, same house.
In Tennessee, it's $2,700.
So you do the math.
All right, but you can't get the same pizza.
You can't get the same anything.
I lived in Suffolk County, and that used to be a blue area.
Now we're getting rich.
So I figure we build it.
The wall I want it built is right along the Mason Dixon line.
So no more new Northerners come to our nice state of Tennessee.
But I did want to ask you a question.
Yeah, real fast.
We only got a few seconds.
Okay.
Harry Truman is the most underrated president we've had.
He had no knowledge of the Adam bomb, the Berlin airlift, and the railroad strike that closed America.
No, he was good.
He was good on that.
And hey, he made the toughest decision a president could ever face dropping that bomb.
And he was quite a president.
But I like to say we're out of time.
Sean Hannity will be back.
You can follow me on Twitter, although I'm shadow banned, or Instagram, Mark Simone, NYC at Instagram.
And make sure you check out Hannity.com.
I'll see you soon.
