Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, thanks, Scott Channel.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh I've always been a fan of Dr. Phil.
I'll explain us in a second when he joins us.
But he did something recently.
He actually's been watching what's been going on at the border and decided to do something about it, go down there, see for himself, take videos, talk to the people on the ground, and he learned a an awful lot.
And it's interesting and and even more fascinating that he showed up on the view and and tried to that's that by the way, the view is that hard hitting news show on ABC.
Uh but anyway, tried to you know inform the ladies of the view what he saw with his own eyes, what Border Patrol was telling him in terms of of that they're using American tax dollars and they're shipping children into prostitution rings and sweatshops.
This is something we have reported on for years on this program.
And then he explained how damaging and harmful it is to children as shut down schools during COVID.
But don't worry if you have sent your kids to a private school like Governor Newsom, uh they had in-person learning while the rest of the state's kids did not.
Anyway, here's Dr. Phil from the View yesterday.
Let's listen.
My understanding is that you went to the southern border.
Now, you're saying that you're going to give people facts.
What did you take away from that experience and what kind of reporting are you going to be bringing back from that experience?
I'll tell you a fact I took away.
I talked to the head of all the border guards down there, the the head of the union.
I asked him straight up kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers and addresses.
Do we check those out?
He said, Well, we call them.
Is it possible that we're sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops?
He said, It's not possible.
It is absolute.
We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops.
Some children.
Well, who knows?
Okay.
We don't know.
I said, Are you So what kind of checking do they do?
So they they call the number uh and say, Do you know about this child?
They say yes.
Will you receive him when they come?
Yes.
I said, Is it possible that that's a prostitution ring?
He said, We ha we know enough to know that it in a number of cases it has turned out to be absolute sex ring.
It has turned out to be an absolute sweatshop.
I said, How is this possible?
Like oh eight, oh nine, smartphones came on and uh and kids started they stopped living their lives and started watching people live their lives.
And so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality since records have ever been kept.
And it's just continued on and on and on.
And then COVID hits ten years later, and the same agencies that knew that are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years.
Who does that?
Who takes away the support system for these children?
Who takes them away and shuts it down?
And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested, and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers with no way to watch, and referrals drop 50 to 60 percent.
Dr. Phil joins us.
Uh he's got a brand new book out.
It's on Amazon.com.
We'll put it on Hannity.com.
It's called We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for American Soul and Sanity.
Uh Dr. Phil, how are you, sir?
Great to have you on the program again.
I'm good, Sean.
It's good talking to you.
You know what I always loved about you when I watched your daytime program, you were no holds barred, and I couldn't believe some people would go on the show and they give you the dumbest answers.
Well, do you talk to your wife that way?
Yeah.
I'm like, well, you're not allowed to talk to people that way and expect them to love you in the end.
Uh just simple things like that, just basic pure common sense that you applied to your show.
And I noticed that you often really help people, unlike some of the other daytime programs that I thought were absolutely useless.
Like you are not the father, you are the father.
I mean, I couldn't stand that part, but I thought you really were in this to help people have better lives, and and you did a lot of great work, I thought there.
Well, thank you.
I'm proud of what we did for twenty-one years, and during that time I really watched the questions that we were getting from people evolved because things changed across time.
You know, it's when I started, um the first text message had never been sent.
I mean, think about it.
We weren't so tech dependent back in 2002 when I first started, you know, 21 years um of taping.
Uh, and then long about 08, 09, they they dropped smartphones on everybody, and we weren't smart anymore.
We we started becoming dependent on this stuff, and it changed our entire society.
Um and by the way, did you did you ever have any experience either you're out to dinner or you're hanging out with your family, and where normally you'd be having discussions, every single person is on their phone at the same time, and we don't even communicate like we used to anymore.
I forbid that, by the way, when I'm with my kids, my family, I'm like, all right, put your phone down.
This is our time.
Yeah, you have to do that because you know, the average person checks their phone three hundred and fifty-two times a day.
And my gosh, by the way, I uh I'm probably double that because of my work, but I do have somewhat of an excuse.
Yeah, it becomes a tool, but for kids, they get addicted to it, and it really it really is an addiction.
If you look at the brain, it lights up just like it does for heroin or uh any other drug, and you know, I I I changed what I'm doing because the the questions I get, the challenges people are facing change, and I I I've absolutely come to understand that family in America is under attack.
And if you ever want to subvert a society, you start with family, you start with children, and uh that's why I've written we've got issues.
Look, Sean, I love this country.
I I I I really do.
I I s I stand up when the flag goes by, I put my hand over my heart when they play the national anthem.
I I love this country.
I believe that it's it's gonna be uh everything that we've ever hoped that it would be.
Um and I I just can't watch it get hijacked by these uh extreme activists coming in wanting to say, okay, we're gonna ignore science, we're going to ignore biology, we're going to ignore history, uh, we're gonna start teaching kids that it's okay to strive for a quality of outcome instead of working for a meritocracy, and so I've written about that.
Uh that's why I say how you can stand strong for America's soul and sanity.
People have to understand what's at stake here.
You know, there's a lot of great a lot of great advice that I think anybody can benefit from, and and you go into detail how how things have changed.
You mentioned cell phones and and the amount of times people check their phone every day.
And and you talk about faith and family community and and you talk about ten working principles for a healthy society.
Um and by the way, you said one thing that really struck me about you don't always have to win an argument.
You can listen to the other person's point of view.
Uh I got criticized when I interviewed Gavin Newsom, and I had promised him before the interview, I'm gonna let you answer the question, and I won't interrupt you.
Uh and some people, you know, jumped on me and said, Why didn't you stop him?
I'm like, because I told them I'd give them time to answer, then I would give them my rebuttal, and I did.
But um, I thought the conversation was worthwhile.
Uh I think he's nuts.
His views are absolutely crazy.
In person, he happens to be a nice guy, but his views are crazy.
Uh what what caused you to want to go to the border?
Well, you know, I I I hear everything, and you can't get straight scoop um uh about what's going on, and you you see all the different sides.
I wanted to see this for myself, and I'm a I'm a huge proponent of law enforcement.
I'm a huge proponent of the military.
I have great respect for the men and women in uniform.
I wanted to go down and talk to them and let them tell me what their lived experience was down there.
And boy, was it eye-opening.
You know, they told me, look, we signed up, we wanted to guard the border for our country.
We wanted to protect America, and we've become social workers.
We don't apprehend anymore, we process.
And it's driving us crazy.
I mean they are the morale is such a challenge for them because they're not they're not chasing these people and and protecting our border so we know who's coming in and trying to come in.
They now are meeting these people not at points of entry but coming out of the river, they have to give 'em a ride to a processing center, and for some of them, if if i if they're intercepted uh by the the federals uh border guards,
then they get processed, given a court date that's seven to ten years away, if ever, and then they've got papers and they're released into the country.
I mean, it's the catch and release program, and they're saying we don't get it.
There are times that they've re that they've had uh literally thousands and thousands of people uh coming a uh across not at a court of entry that are having to be processed.
And and uh you I ask them straight up uh about these children.
Uh I said, What's happening with these children?
They said some of them are getting recycled.
They'll come through uh with a group that makes it look like a family, and two or three weeks later we see the same children with another group, so we know they're being recycled so people can get into the country.
Um and uh we're just so frustrated we don't know what to do.
We're uh and I talked to the head, uh Brandon Judd, the the head of the union for the guards, and I said, What do you need?
He said, We don't need more money, we don't need more agents, we don't need new laws.
We just need the ones that are on the books to be um enforced and we need to be allowed to do our jobs and we'll have this under control in no time.
All right, quick break more with Dr. Phil on the other side of his new book We've Got Issues, how you can stand strong for America's soul and sanity.
We continue with Dr. Phil, uh his new book is out We've Got Issues.
It's uh how you can stand for s uh strong America and America's soul and sanity, Amazon.com, Hannity dot com, bookstores around the country.
Doctor Phil, I'd been down to the border reporting on this for well over a decade and a half, two decades.
Here's where we are today, and I'm going to the border yet again on Thursday with President Trump.
I guarantee you, uh, Dr. Phil, and I pray to God that I'm wrong and and I'm proven wrong.
That among the ten million unvetted or around ten million are gonna be people that have nefarious intentions and that are forming terror cells in our country and they will attack and Americans will die as a result of this.
And and putting aside the instances where crimes committed by illegals like the death of this young nursing student in Georgia.
Well, I think we would be incredibly naive and narcissistic to think that out of all of the people that have come across that border from these places that you just described, and they told me that's where they're coming from, we would be incredibly naive and narcissistic to think that they're not uh some of them are not in this country with well with ill intent uh for Americans and people need to speak up about this.
You know, I I did set out ten principles that I think are critical for a healthy society, and one of those is that we can't remain silent just so other people don't get upset.
We have to be willing to find our voice and speak up.
And I'm I'm really trying to c have a call to action with we've got issues to that middle eighty percent of America that really just wants to live and let live, but they need to recognize, hey, I've got to speak up here.
I've I've got to be heard on this issue, and one of the things that I I really think this book does is uh I think people agree with what you're saying and what I'm saying, but they don't have the facts to fight back against uh the other side with.
I'm giving them the facts.
I'm giving them the numbers.
I'm giving them the actual information they need.
Uh so when somebody says, Well, you know, it's this or it's that, they say, No, that's not true.
Here are the facts.
I've got 'em, they've been vetted, they've been checked, and And I invite people to fact check me on everything that's in this book because it's been triple vetted and I think people will be empowered by having that information.
I understand, by the way, that you have now partnered with the Trinity Broadcasting, I guess, network to to launch uh a new TV network, uh Merritt Street Media, I guess uh you're launching.
I'm kind of glad to to hear that you're getting back on the air.
I think it's great.
I would wish you would come over to Fox.
We'd love to have you, at least I would.
Uh not that anybody ever listens to me, but uh I I think your voice is an important one and your work is important.
And uh I think I I have a lot of respect for the fact that you actually took the time to, you know, do all of this at the border and you learned a lot and you're sharing it with even the ladies of the view that were they open-minded at all, and I only have about thirty seconds.
No, no, I don't think that they were particularly uh open to it, but it was interesting.
When I said the things I said about the mismanagement of COVID, the audience erupted in applause, and I don't think they like that, but uh it tells me that if you deliver the truth, uh that people respond to it and they did.
And so I I know that you know maybe it's good to go there and and deliver the message.
And I'm gonna respect your 30 seconds.
I thank you for talking about we've got issues, how you can stand strong for America's soul and sanity, and it's always good to talk to you, Sean.
All right, talk to Phil is new book We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity.
Uh we'll put a link on Hannity.com, it's on Amazon.com, bookstores now all all across the country.
Uh Dr. Phil, always appreciate your time and appreciate your work.
Thank you so much for being back with us.
Thanks for what you do.
We'll talk soon.
By the way, Michigan Governor Whitmere is warning that anti-Biden protest uh in the primary will be sizable today.
Uh NBC News reporting that the co-chair, she is the co-chair of Biden's reelection campaign, uh telling MBC News there will be, quote, a sizable number of protest votes against the president in Tuesday's primary uh taking place uh where the margin of victory in November is expected to be razor thin.
Right now, Donald Trump in the latest poll I saw out of Michigan had a two-point lead.
Uh but anyway, so we'll see what happens.
But when you have squad members and lunatics like Congresswoman to leave, you know, leading the way, saying Biden is is you know, slamming Biden for giving, quote, that genocidal maniac Netanyahu a blank check as she urges Michigan to vote against the president in the primary today is well gets pretty interesting.
We'll see what happens.
Uh but um, you know, Joe Biden, I think has a lot of problems with a lot of core constituencies, at least according to pretty much every poll.
He's having problems with African American voters and Hispanic American voters, young voters, uh women uh that are working, suburban women, and uh I don't see any hope that he's gonna get these people back.
What what can he do to bring back a group of people that just see him for what he is, and that is out of it, weak, frail, cognitively a mess, doesn't even know the day of the week, and most like in all likelihood, who knows?
We'll watch that pretty closely.
All right, uh, let's get to our phones.
Don Lake Ronconcuma, Long Island, New York.
Don, I hope you miss me, but I don't miss being there.
I miss you, but I don't miss being there.
I do miss you, my friend.
I do miss our visits together.
And uh who knows, maybe someday right now I have uh some family obligations that keep me in the uh empire strikes back state of New York.
Sean, I I gotta tell you, after listening for three years of Harris of uh Biden and my office lying about border security.
And uh wait a minute, they you mean they were lying when they said the border was closed and the border was secure over and over and over and over again?
You mean they lied to the American people for three long years and only now are they trying to blame Republicans uh for the mess they created?
Yep, and uh like you had last night on the Hannity, you had uh Harris comparing the border security to the KKK.
Everything that we could see with our own eyes.
And I I I don't know where you uh if I go down the expressway on Long Island.
You could see uh trouble.
You could see migrants.
You know, they don't belong here.
How does Biden explain By the way, it's all over Long Island.
There are certain known places uh in Long Island where if you need day labor, the the there's all these illegal immigrants waiting to get picked up by contractors and and other people uh for a day's work.
And and by the way I don't mind people wanting to work for a living.
I'm I don't mind people coming to this country.
I'm just asking that you do it legally and that for the protection of our country we do a background check, a health check, and make sure that you're not going to be a financial burden uh on the American people, which is now impacting every city, every state across the country.
Well here's my question to you, Sean.
Biden's going to a uh a staged area on Thursday believe to the border.
And how does he expect to change minds about uh his failure of border security by going down there.
How is she what's he what's he what could he possibly say?
Nothing.
The only people that will protect him are the people that haven't covered the real border crisis and that is the mob the media.
The media is corrupt.
They're corrupt they're an extension of the the Biden press uh office and they just lie to the American people with regularity.
Yep and they they tend to get away with it and you know they're not doing their job.
They they care more about they care more about themselves.
There was an interesting piece you have a New York Times former editor Adam Rubinstein is his name.
He said staffers were clearly worried about uh that lending credence to the story about Hunter Biden's scandalous laptop that we know is very real would hurt Joe Biden the and the Democrats ahead of the 2020 election.
It was a lengthy piece for the Atlantic he said the paper essentially failed to fulfill their goal of being journalistic rather than activist.
He said this I learned in my two years at the Times you know was not the goal that everyone shared and he said you know was it truly unsubstantiated as the paper kept saying no it wasn't unsubstantiated.
The FBI had verified its authenticity in March of 2020, but that didn't stop them from going and meeting weekly with big tech companies in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.
You know telling them that they may be victims of a misinformation campaign.
And then he concludes if the Times or any other outlet aims to cover America as it is and not simply how they want it to be they should recruit more editors and reporters with conservative backgrounds and then support them in their work.
They should hire journalists not activists.
Wow pretty brave of him to say all that exactly right let's see uh how long he has a job good point.
Well he's not there anymore that's why he can he can freely write it but he wouldn't be there if he still was anyway go ahead finish your thought.
I'm just gonna say always uh always an honor to talk to you and your audience.
I uh I do miss our visit.
Well I don't know maybe I'll make a trip back and we'll do an audience show in New York one day this year.
I I'll be up I'll likely be taxed for the second that I enter New York airspace but you know it'd be worth it to see my old friends.
Uh Don Lake Round Concuma we always appreciate you buddy thank you.
All right quick break right back we'll get to your phone call straight ahead toll free it's 800 941 if you want to be a part of the program top of the hour we will check in with House Judiciary Committee member Victoria Sparts of Indiana she will be in the deposition of Hunter Biden tomorrow.
We'll get a preview of that and much more.
Back to our busy phones 800 941 Sean our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Susan in the free state of Florida my home state what's up Susan how are you?
Hello Sean thank you so much for taking my call I literally have been trying to reach you for a year.
I've had you on speed dial every day I let's my way home from work I do and I have thank you for calling thank you for your patience.
Well really I get home and I realize I've called you like twelve times.
You're very popular.
But I want to thank you first off for what you are doing every day for our country.
If it weren't for you and all those other people I've heard Fox News we would be in the dark.
Because I know I used to listen to that left leaning media but I realized that they were censoring what I'm hearing so I'm just so thankful for Fox and you.
But let me preface first why I called.
I really like Linda.
I think she is so sassy and cute.
She's always giving you the what for every day.
And I actually have called to give you a little bit of the what for also.
I do love you, and I'm so glad you moved to Florida.
But I just want to say one little thing from one Florida cracker to another, that I wish when you would talk about Florida on the air on the radio and TV that you would paint it in a little different light because we're just being overrun by developers, paving over our orange growth and all the traffic clogging our roads.
So here's what I wish you would say.
Okay.
What do you want me to say?
Well, you could maybe say something like that uh, you know, our summers are brutally hot, that you're getting alive.
You want me to lie?
I mean, it does it does get hot in the summer, but rarely does it go over a hundred, so I mean, it's not that much different from even New York for that matter.
I mean, they have heat waves in New York that are brutal too.
Well, you could skip that.
You could say you want me to you want me to lie to my audience.
I love this.
No, here's the truth.
You're gonna have to sell you want me to say, no, don't come to Florida where I am, stay back where you are.
You don't it's really hot down here, stay there.
Tell you why.
I have a really good reason for that.
But first, you could tell them that you're having to call the exterminator because you have roaches in your pantry and that you're seeing moccasins and alligators and getting eaten by mosquitoes.
And another thing I read on the Fox Business Report just a couple of days ago, we have the highest homeowners' insurance in the nation.
It has skyrocketed like 14% or something, and I think on average people are paying over $9,000.
Well, by the way, if you homestead, you do get a limit in terms of how much they can raise your property taxes at three percent on any given year, uh something I've already done.
Now, I look to be fair, I've owned property down here for over a couple of decades now and I'm glad you're here because I really like you.
I think you are just doing So I I make the cut, but you want everyone else to stay away.
I um I'm listening to you and you're you're kind of cracking me up a little bit.
Here's why you want to put it on I have one major crit criteria.
If you come from one of these blue states, whatever you do, leave your your idiotic leftist radical climate agenda religious cult values uh behind in the state you're leaving.
Don't come to Florida, Texas, the Carolinas or Tennessee and ruin those states with the policies that you ran away from.
How's that?
I love that.
And I wish people who lived in these blue sanctuary cities and states would use their powerful vote to vote out the George Soros back DAs and politicians.
We're counting on them because we have no control over what they're doing up there.
But these people can vote them out.
We are suffering the negative ramifications, though.
Look what happened in Georgia.
You know, if j if New York had kept that guy locked up, that beautiful nursing student would still be alive.
I mean, it's so sad.
I mean, and and the way that Democrats have dismissed it just makes me want to vomit.
It really does.
You know, go go back, by the way.
If you go back to September 2023, Biden extended the temporary uh protected status to nearly five thousand hundred thousand Venezuelan illegal immigrants.
Uh and uh you know, I don't think Trump is wrong.
I I do believe that um you remember the Muriel boat lift that happened years ago with Cuba and they took all their prisoners, sent them over to America.
Well countries like Venezuela, they're not sending their best and brightest here.
They're probably saying, Okay, all the people that cause trouble, why don't you go to America?
Get the hell out of here.
Well, I think that's you know, but this guy was an illegal immigrant and he they he was allowed into the country.
They had him in there, you know, they they could have turned him back as they should have.
They could have returned him to where he came from.
They didn't.
And then even when he ran into a legal issue in New York, well, they released him anyway.
At some point, these policies, you've got to say the people supporting them have blood on their hands.
They are responsible for the people that they didn't vet and allowed into our country for what they do.
And one day when I'm proven correct that terror cells have entered you know from these countries that we keep pointing out they're coming from.
Why are people from the number one state sponsor of of terror ta Iran.
Why are they showing up at our southern border in their satellite state Syria?
Why are thousands coming from Egypt, home of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Why are thousands coming from uh Afghanistan, home of Al Qaeda, which is now reorganized and they've built back up their military training camps?
Uh, why are people coming from China and Russia, tens and tens of thousands?
They're not coming here because they love the country and want a better opportunity.
Not all of them.
I would argue the vast majority of them have nefarious intentions.
And they're here, and I I guarantee you there are groups plotting, planning, scheming, massive attacks on our homeland.
And when it happens, remember I told you it was going to happen.
And hold those people that allowed this to happen.
The number one national security threat, allowing military age men into our country.
It is the it is the dumbest thing we've I've ever seen this country do in my lifetime.
And it's the most dangerous, and people will die as a result.
Anyway, aren't these countries now refusing to take them back?
Yeah, Venezuela's not taking back anybody.
Everybody that came here illegally, because of Joe Biden's open board, they need to be sent back.
And I'm not being unkind.
I'm saying there is a way to do it humanely.
However, America national security.
Here's the biggest problem we have.
We don't know where they are.
We've not kept track of them.
They're never going to show up for their coordinates.
And the next thing we're going to hear is a push to make them full citizens.
Mark my words.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean on number Susan, thank you.
Appreciate you being with us.
Man, scary times, I'll tell you that.
