Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for listening.
Let me give you our number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Linda, can you hear me?
That is by far one of the funniest things you have ever done in my whole 20 years here.
Oh, my God.
I just died laughing.
I'm going to yell the whole show.
I won't have a voice, but I'm going to yell anyway.
I want everyone to hear me.
It's so true.
That's the bad part.
Oh, my God.
And we're going to talk about Lincoln Riley.
And we're going to yell at the Supreme Court right in front of them.
That's what we're going to do.
Okay.
This was beyond strange.
Let me hear your version of Joe.
Do you want to give your yelling version of Joe anyway?
Honestly, after that, I think everybody should just sit down and be quiet and let you do it.
That was amazing.
I'm going to yell at every caller.
What do you want?
You're on the show.
I'm going to save America.
Republicans are bad.
I'm Joe.
See, I'm very, very cognitively alert.
I call him Jacked Up Joe.
So we got to start with a little montage.
And that is, and apparently some people didn't like that I referred to him as Jacked Up Joe on the TV show.
Is there anything?
I mean, I thought I was actually being somewhat gracious and saying based on what I really think was going on.
And I predicted that this would happen.
Remember, I said this is going to be fine.
He'll get through the speech.
They've been working on it.
What I didn't expect was this guy all racked up on, well, let's be charitable.
Maybe it was Red Bull.
Maybe it was just pure caffeine, extra strength, et cetera.
When I get a headache, I take extra strength, etc.
And it has caffeine in it.
I don't know.
With all the energy drinks I've ever had in my life and extra strength, et cetera, I don't think I ever got that jacked up in my life.
Yelling almost the entire time, raving and ranting.
I mean, it was so bizarre and so strange that it got very uncomfortable for me.
I went through like this little wave of like, oh my gosh, what the hell is going on here?
I went from shock to like I got to the point where it was bizarre and then it became a little frightening.
I'm like, this is the president of the United States and he's not acting normal.
And I'm thinking this is very, this is not safe.
Now, I know the mob, the media, they loved it.
I know why what happened happened.
And I can tell you the why really quickly.
Because Joe Biden had to go into this speech and overcome two massive problems that he's facing.
The reason it was so hyper-partisan and the reason he was so jacked up, the first was doubts about his cognitive abilities.
So Joe was, let's just say, a little wired last night.
How he got so wired would be a question that I really would like an answer to, but that's a separate question for another day.
But Joe comes into this, but he needed to show that he can get through a speech and with record speed, he raced through that speech.
He didn't even allow the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to formally introduce him as is per usual practice in the House chamber.
No, he just got right into it, right into Ukraine.
What a way to start.
And so, but I became very uncomfortable, and I became actually alarmed at some points watching this whole thing as he was screaming and yelling.
A lot happened last night, and it was sort of like I would imagine now we all know Joe's in cognitive decline.
And One of the problems when elderly people have cognitive decline, and I'm going to be very sincere here.
I know people that have gone through this, and it is a very sad thing to watch the deterioration of somebody you love cognitively, and they become forgetful, and then it just slowly gets worse and worse and worse because it usually is degenerative.
In Joe's case, it's clearly degenerative, meaning it never gets better.
It only gets worse.
But there was some type of, let's say, intervention last night to get him so hyped up or jacked up the way he was.
But he needed to do this.
The Democrats are desperate right now.
And I mean they're desperate because they see that the country now has come to the reality of what we have been pointing out since the 2020 election is this guy is a cognitive mess.
And then they're looking at poll numbers and they are bleeding support from the Democratic coalition, what generally makes up the Democratic coalition.
When you look at demographics and they're losing African Americans in massive numbers, Hispanic Americans in massive numbers, and even young people and suburban women, and he's getting clobbered.
Gallup had him at a 38% approval rating.
86% of Americans think he's just too old and such a cognitive mess to be president again.
And then you get the polls, the New York Times, Sienna poll, Fox News poll, Wall Street Journal poll, CBS poll, ABC poll, NBC poll.
All these polls show him losing and losing, you know, spectacularly.
And the problem is all the yelling in the world is not going to help that.
But that's why it was so hyper-partisan, and that's why he was so jacked up.
There's a reason, there's a why, there's a wherefore here.
And so in the minds of the media, oh, thank goodness.
Now we could put to rest this whole issue of cognitive decline.
Actually, you can't.
Now, let me give you just a small sample, back to back, of regular Joe, daily Joe, versus jacked up Joe last night.
See if you notice a slight difference.
See if this does not seem extremely alarming and odd to you.
I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit and not say what I'm really thinking.
My predecessor came to office determined to see Roe v.
Rade overturned.
He's the reason it was overturned, and he brags about it.
EPA administrator here with me, EPA Administrator Regan, as well.
But they failed.
America stood strong and democracy prevailed.
God used to say, Joey, a paycheck is about more than a job is about more than a paycheck.
It has dropped from 9% to 3%, the lowest in the world and tending lower.
The landing is and will be soft.
The political coverage.
Look, some of the political players and some of the...
Let me ask a rhetorical question.
No, anyways.
My inherited economy is on the brink.
Now our economy is literally the envy of the world.
15 million new jobs in just three years.
A record.
A record.
Wages keep going up.
Inflation keeps coming down.
Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3%, the lowest in the world and tending lower.
All right, let me step in here.
You get the point.
So I don't know what's more alarming, Everyday Joe or Jacked Up Joe, but they had to do it.
They really didn't have any choice.
They're bleeding support among the Democratic base.
But I don't think it's going to have the impact that they think.
I think most people that were watching were kind of alarmed like I was.
And they'll get a short-term boost with the mob, the media, and their polls.
See, he was able to reset by screaming and yelling the entire speech.
He was able to reset the entire narrative of what the 2024 election is going to be.
Well, that doesn't negate that well over majority Americans think he's failed on climate change.
Most Americans don't want his EV, their gas stoves taken away, their fridges taken away, their ACs taken away, their meat taken away.
All these demographics, young people, I don't think are going to be particularly impressed at the screaming and yelling.
There's nearly 60% of the working class that say Joe has failed them.
I don't think that's going to change their views or their everyday reality.
I don't think it's going to have any impact.
If anything, I think our enemies abroad are going to look at this and say this is even more bizarre than we ever thought.
And most Americans, over 60%, think he's failed on improving our world image, or the 60-plus percent of Americans that believe he's failed on his economic policies, or the nearly 65% that say they're not more safe and secure.
He's failed there, or the 71% that think he's failed on the border.
I don't think it's going to do anything to negate that.
Now, I'm just trying to be objective and think about, all right, if I'm on Team Biden and I've got these real problems and it's not looking good and the polls are bad and everyone thinks this guy doesn't know what day of the week it is, we've got to do something.
Now, what it was that they exactly did, I don't know.
It might have been as simple as just a bunch of energy drinks that they just propped him up on those just before he went out there.
I have no idea.
I have suspicions, but I don't have any confirmation.
Maybe his doctor can actually talk to us about his real health condition.
Not that I would believe a word he says anyway.
I mean, you can get doctors to prescribe anything and pretty much say anything, unfortunately.
So he yells the entire night.
I think one of the worst moments in this speech, I saw Marjorie Taylor Green say her name, talking about Lake and Riley, the name of this young woman, this nursing student that was murdered by an illegal immigrant.
And anyway, the back and forth.
And then what did he do?
He referred to her as Lincoln Riley.
No, the name is Lake, Joe.
Lake and Riley.
And then what Democrats were more mad at, people that have never even talked about Lake and Riley, they were more angry that Joe Biden mentioned that Lake and Riley was killed by an illegal immigrant.
They're angry that he used the word illegal.
He should have said undocumented, but that's not a big thing.
Okay.
What's the big thing about that?
I actually wasn't even going to ask about that.
I was just going to ask more about the moment.
But you do think that he should have said undocumented?
That wasn't going to be my question.
Well, we usually say undocumented.
He said illegal.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Okay.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Pete Buttigieg had to come out there.
And they're more, how about being angry over the fact that another illegal immigrant has committed more crimes and they took this young woman in the prime of her life away from her family?
Or these idiots over at MSTNC giggling away that the number one issue when voters went out in the primary vote on Super Tuesday in Virginia was illegal immigration.
They're giggling away.
Ha ha, illegal immigration.
Well, tell that to the parents of the 14-year-old girl that was raped by an illegal immigrant of Joe Biden that we even had in custody in New York and didn't deport, that raped this poor girl in Virginia.
Go look those parents in the eyes and start giggling, or Lake and Riley's parents in the eye and start giggling.
It's not funny.
It's sad.
It's heartbreaking.
These families, their friends, they will never be the same again.
And then Joe goes on to say, how many thousands of people are being killed by legals?
What does that have to do with nearly 10 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants that he's allowing into the country?
On top of that, then literally lecturing the members of the U.S. Supreme Court that were right front and center in front of this guy on how they were wrong on the issue in the Dobbs case and then lying just outright that Republicans don't want in vitro fertilization IVF or that Republicans want to ban all abortion.
It's not true.
Just a flat-out lie, just more demagoguery by the left, by Democrats.
But I felt sorry for the father of this Marine.
This Marine lost his son in Afghanistan, was arrested because he heckled Joe Biden by mentioning, I guess, where he served or the group that he served with.
Really, we're going to arrest this dad that is suffering and mourning the death of his son.
They're going to really arrest that guy.
How about we let him go on his own recognizance with a little bit of heart and understanding?
Good grief.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, if I want to have a voice next week, I will stop yelling for the rest of the show, or at least most of it.
Apparently, this happened.
I guess Joe Biden is headed to Philly, and I guess tomorrow Atlanta is actually going out on the road.
I wonder if he's going to shout.
I can't do it.
If I do it, I won't have a voice next week.
I know how my voice works.
Anyway, do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night?
Well, if they're illegal, that would be an accurate term.
Here's Biden's answer.
Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?
Oh, that's probably legal.
I don't agree.
Technically not supposed to be here.
Technically not supposed to be here.
No, legally, they're not supposed to be here.
A little more detail.
Thankfully, Republican lawmakers are mobilizing behind this gold star father, this man that stood up last night, arrested after heckling Joe Biden during the State of the Union.
He's the father of one of the U.S. Marines killed by a suicide bomber.
Remember the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021?
And he stood up and shouted, Abbey Gate.
That was in reference to the attack at Abbey Gate of Karzai International Airport.
Remember, we lost 13 brave soldiers that day.
It occurred during that ridiculous exit from the country.
And anyway, he shouted after Biden said, America's safer today than when I took office.
And are we really going to take this man, arrest him?
And we're going to find him, put him in jail.
Seriously?
Can we leave a grieving father, at least leave him alone?
A assault on fake news.
Annity is on right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Our toll-free numbers, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, all these months now have passed since Israel has had the worst attack, terrorist attack in their history.
They're now going to fight for their very survival.
Now, one of the results of all this is the economic situation for hundreds of thousands of Israelis is dire.
Thousands and thousands of Israelis unable to return to their homes, more being evacuated in the north as the battle with Hezbollah and Lebanon has ramped up.
Now, thankfully, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is right in the middle of this every single day.
They are distributing critical essentials, food, medicine, emergency supplies for hundreds of thousands of suffering Israelis.
And Israel is there, honestly, they're desperate.
We're proud to partner with the IFCJ.
Every donation is desperately needed.
And to give, there's two ways you can do it.
You can use your cell phone, dial pound250, and say the keyword, support IFCJ, pound250, keyword, support IFCJ, or go to their website, ifcj.org.
That's IFCJ1word.org.
And if you do it today, your gift will be matched by a generous donor, doubling the impact and the support you're offering.
That's supportifcj.org.
All right, so let me go back.
Now, this is bizarre.
The idea that we've not heard Joe Biden talk about Lake and Riley, this young nursing student in Georgia, brutally murdered by, and I mean brutally.
I don't even want to go back into the details.
I think we brought it up one day.
I don't want to even bring it up again.
I can only imagine what this young woman's family is feeling today.
You don't have to be the most empathetic person to understand that when parents lose a child like this, I don't think the odds are particularly high that they ever fully recover.
You would think, now, I do know for a fact that Donald Trump called Lake and Riley's family.
He took the time to call.
I don't know if it's been made public or not, but I know for a fact that he made that call.
Joe Biden, I know, did not make a call.
Anyway, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know, shouted, say her name at Biden when he began a section of his speech on the border.
And he goes, he didn't say Lincoln Riley.
He said Lincoln Riley.
And he held up a button with her name on it that Republicans were passing out.
And he said, an innocent young woman was killed by an illegal.
Now, it went a little bit further than that.
And then I'm not sure why he felt compelled to say this part, but how many thousands of people are killed by legals to her parents?
I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself.
I understand.
He said, why did it take this long?
He's holding a button.
I mean, it was right there in his hand.
And he still got the first name wrong in his jacked up state, jacked up Joe last night.
And here's the bizarre, even more bizarre part.
After bungling Riley's name, you know, and he's, the left seems more angry over the fact that Joe Biden used the term illegal to describe the illegal immigrant from Venezuela who killed this young woman with all the promise in the world.
Now, you might recall that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has even banned the use of the term illegal alien for his employees.
Later on, we'll play Bill Clinton using the term illegal alien.
Authorities say that this illegal was caught and released under Biden's border policies and then protected from deportation by New York City Sanctuary City policies and killed Lake, not Lincoln, Lake and Riley, while she was out for a morning jog at the campus of her college.
I mean, it's such a tragedy.
Now, this is the bizarre thing.
Nancy Pelosi's asked about it today on Fake News CNN during an interview.
Dana Bash.
Madam Speaker, one of the clearly ad-lib moments was during the section about immigration.
Before playing a clip of Biden referring to 22-year-old Riley, who was murdered last month, which he said Lincoln Riley, Pelosi replied defensively, no, he should have said undocumented, but it's not a big thing.
Okay, what's the big thing?
I actually wasn't even going to ask about it, said Bash.
I just wanted to ask more about the moment.
But do you think that he should have said undocumented?
That wasn't going to be my question.
Pelosi, well, usually we say undocumented.
He said illegal.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Okay, I'm glad she is now giving Carp Blanche because I wasn't changing saying illegal immigrant anyway.
Because if you don't enter the country legally, you enter it illegally.
And Joe Biden has been aiding and abetting in all of the illegal immigrants, the nearly 10 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants from some of our most hostile geopolitical foes, which we have gone over in great detail.
Then you got, you know, Mayor Pete, your transportation secretary, extraordinaire, actually defending Biden's use of the term illegal.
I can't believe this is what they're talking about here.
Because they're not the people that have been out there calling or reaching out to the family of Lake and Riley.
They're not the ones that have been saying our policies have created this.
We're going to close the border.
They're more concerned about the language.
It's like, you know, people just obsessed with pronouns in a different way.
Anyway, booted judge on fake news, CNN also, and was asked if he felt comfortable with the use of that term in the president's context.
But, you know, being the good, loyal mayor that he is, he jumped to the president's defense saying that, look, I think the president was responding to what was being hurled at him from the House floor and responded, as he characteristically does, with compassion to a tragic case that shouldn't be used as a political football.
Well, it's like the idiots over at MSDNC, you know, circle back Jen Saki, Joy Reed, and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Rachel Maddow giggling over the exit polls in Virginia showing that the number one issue, like every other state for people in this election, happens to be illegal immigration.
Well, I wonder if they would giggle in front of Lake and Riley's parents or family or loved ones or friends.
I don't think so.
I'd like to think not.
Not sure what they find so funny about it.
Conspiracy theorist Maddow literally going as far as to say, well, they are a border state with West Virginia.
Ha, ha, ha.
Not funny.
What about the 14-year-old little girl that was raped in the Commonwealth of Virginia by a Joe Biden illegal immigrant from Venezuela?
You want to go talk to her parents or the victims of other families in Virginia, victims of illegal immigrants that have committed crimes.
Why doesn't our federal government keep track of the crimes that they committed?
Now, anyway, let me go back to where we were before, and that is Joe Biden on the tarmac.
And this is your media mob.
Do you regret using the word illegal?
I can't even believe this is a question.
If you're not here legally, you're here illegally.
Why are we playing word games here with the biggest national security threat in our lifetime?
Or in the words of the former top, this is when the FBI was the world's premier organization, but former top FBI officials all saying that this is an invasion of military-age men.
But the mob, the media, and the administration and Democrats are more concerned about not using the word illegal.
And they asked Biden about it.
Listen to this.
Do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir?
Oh, that's probably.
I don't regret it.
Technically, not supposed to be here.
Technically, no, they're not supposed to be here.
And who aided and abetted them being here?
That would be Joe.
And when they had this guy in custody, in the case of Lake and Riley's alleged killer from Venezuela, did they deport him?
No, they did not.
And what does that mean?
At some point, their policies, they're responsible.
The blood is on their hands.
That's all there is to it.
And if I'm proven right, and I've said it many times, that I pray to God I'm wrong.
And I mean that with all my heart, mind, body, and soul.
I pray I'm wrong.
But all these people, nearly 10 million, and many coming from our top geopolitical foes, tens of thousands from China and Russia, hundreds from the number one state sponsor of terror, Iran, their satellite, Syria, thousands from the home of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt, thousands from Afghanistan, home of Al-Qaeda, which apparently their training camps have reopened.
Now, when he was on the tarmac, he was also asked about the Bibi Netanyahu comment.
Let's listen.
But why does Mr. Netanyahu need a hundred seats this week?
What are you hoping for Jesus?
I didn't say that in the speech.
After the what about after the speech?
You guys eat dropping on fence.
Does that show your level of frustration with him about humanitarian aid?
Does he need to be doing more?
Yes, he does.
Really?
Because now, if you look at the policies of the administration, Biden announcing that the U.S. will build a port in Gaza to deliver aid.
Let me just tell you somebody is, talk to you as somebody who's actually been in Israel a number of times and that has known Prime Minister Netanyahu for over 30 years.
Somebody that has actually been in the terror tunnels.
You know what the terror tunnels, the hundreds and hundreds of miles of terror tunnels?
Where did they get the money to build those terror tunnels?
They got the money in humanitarian assistance from countries like ours and even Israel with the most sophisticated architecture and railway system and lighting system.
I've been in them.
They took money that was supposed to be for schools and hospitals and infrastructure to help people, and that's what they did with that money.
And remember, it was the people in Gaza, the Palestinian people, that voted for Hamas in power.
Granted, it was a long time ago, but that was their last vote.
Also asked on the tarman about others is about committing to debating Donald Trump.
Here's his answer on that.
Will you commit to a debate with former President Trump?
It depends on his behavior.
It depends on his behavior.
Oh, what about Joe's behavior?
That's pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Look, I am just telling you what this speech, where did this all come from last night?
Why would the president be that jacked up, jacked up Joe?
Why did the president get all jacked up?
Because they had no choice.
You understand that.
That what we have now been way ahead of the curve on, that being Joe Biden's cognitive decline, is obvious now to everybody.
Remember in the days, weeks, and months leading up to this State of the Union address, the White House has been lashing out at the media for covering this.
How dare they?
After all, they have pretty much been an extension of all things Biden.
They're going to be in the Biden protection program like they were in 2020, like they were in the Hillary Clinton protection program.
They're nothing but an extension of the press offices of radical leftists and liberals.
So he needed to prove the narrative was sticking.
It's not going to change just because, well, they hypercaffeinated him, probably to put it mildly, and they kept him in hiding for almost a week, and he practiced the speech again and again and again, and they likely changed his normal working hours to keep him up later so his peak hours would be during the 9 to 10.30 hour.
And that's what went on behind the scenes.
Just to create an illusion that Joe, screaming and shouting, the very different Joe from the everyday Joe that we see, was able to get through this speech without even more questions about his cognitive decline.
And then the media, they just lapped up the lie because they've been the ones that have been, well, not only behind the curve, they've been unwilling to cover Joe's cognitive decline.
Never mind, you know, Biden blasting millionaires for not paying their fair share.
You know, there's numbers out this morning.
Unemployment rate did spike to a two-year high.
And if you look at the jobless numbers once again, what do we see?
Oh, that's right.
Revised downward.
Why do we have two more revisions downward?
We always have downward revisions.
The change in total non-farm employment for December was revised down by 43,000.
The change from January revised downward by 124,000.
So they come out with great numbers and then they bury the downward revisions that seem to always happen almost every single month.
You know why.
Everybody knows why, because they're just lying to us.
And they're using these departments to make Joe look better than he does.
But we have a problem here.
As bad as Joe's normal Joe's cognitive decline is, if this is the effort that it takes to get him jacked up for a State of the Union address and the net result is a very angry, grumpy old man screaming at the country an entire speech.
I don't know what's more alarming.
That that's what it took?
That's what it takes to get this guy to perform for an hour?
It's pretty scary.
Think about that.
That's how cognitively screwed up he is.
And the worst part is it reveals something else.
They know it.
They've always known it.
They know more than we know.
But they're hiding it from the country.
And are we going to let him get away with that in 241 days?
I hope not.
I can't predict with any accuracy.
We'll get Newt Gingrich's take on all this when we come back.
