	This is an iHeart podcast.
	We just have to win this election because he's even predicting a bloodbath.
	What does that mean?
	He's going to exact a bloodbath.
	There's something wrong here.
	So everyone get ready for the language.
	Uterus.
	That part of the body needs a lot of medical care from time to time.
	It was made able to touch.
	It was made, and I was able to touch some of my own hands.
	Very pricksy man.
	The clock is ticking.
	Now there's only 228 days left till you get to vote.
	See, we are coming to your city.
	Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
	From coast to coast.
	From border to border.
	From sea to shining sea.
	Sean Kennedy is on.
	All right.
	Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Here's our toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	It's 800-941-Sean.
	If you'd like to join us, Peter Schweitzer, I got to tell you, he's written another blockbuster, number one New York Times bestseller, in light of Tony Bobolinski's explosive hearing yesterday and showdown.
	I mean, he just slammed these Democrats, ate them up, and spit them out.
	It's very relevant.
	His new book, Blood Money, Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.
	You know, how much money did the Biden family make from China?
	Could you imagine for a second here, Hunter admitting no experience, energy, but yet he's doing deals with Russian oligarchs and CEFC, the Chinese oil conglomerate, and Ukraine and Russia?
	I mean, just all these countries combined.
	Can you imagine the dossiers that they must have on Hunter?
	An admitted crack addict at the time?
	I mean, and a guy that frequented, let's call them ladies of the evening, shall we?
	I mean, I can only imagine how compromised these countries have Hunter Biden.
	Now, that would be a national security threat, wouldn't it?
	Anyway, so we'll get to that.
	We have Governor Ron DeSantis.
	He is now battling the issue of what is likely going to be a pretty large influx of Haitian illegal immigrants that want to get into this country illegally or immigrants or migrants, whatever you want to call them, making the attempt to get into Florida.
	There will be interdiction out at sea and they will be turned around.
	The governor, of course, doesn't even waste his time trying to deal with the Biden Biden administration because they're absolutely useless.
	Their latest floated trial balloon is, well, maybe we'll put them at Gitmo.
	Well, they did build soccer fields for the terrorists at Gitmo and spent a fortune of your money building great facilities for the people at Gitmo.
	Why not use it for something worthwhile?
	How about like our homeless military?
	If we're going to use Gitmo for some good purpose, why don't we take and find all of America's homeless military?
	Let's bring them to Gitmo, let them play on the soccer field and house them and feed them and treat them and give them the medical attention that they need, mental health assistance that they may need, and help them develop skills so they can get back into society and have healthy and happy and productive lives.
	Just an idea if we're going to be using those facilities and spending that kind of money.
	Senate Republicans now are trying to get Democrats to pass the legislation that would require federal immigration officials to arrest and detain and deport illegal immigrants who commit burglary or theft or other violent crimes.
	And they're calling it the Lake and Riley Act.
	Now, this is the same Democratic Party as I've been reminding you that has lied to you.
	They've flat out been lying about the border being secure and the border being closed for three years.
	And they have now, in an election year, pivoted to this is the Republicans' fault.
	I'm trying to fix it, but they won't help me.
	They won't pass legislation.
	There's no legislation that needs to be passed.
	Mayorkas has bragged about it.
	Biden has bragged about it.
	With a stroke of a pen, he undid all of the Trump policies that were working.
	So with a stroke of a pen, that would be all that would be needed.
	He could bring back those policies.
	That worked.
	He doesn't need any help, any aid, any assistance from any body of Congress.
	He just doesn't.
	Now, you're going to love this one.
	About 200,000 deportation cases had to be thrown out of court by judges under Biden.
	Why?
	Because Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, didn't file the required notice to appear with the courts on time.
	Wow.
	Another reason to impeach him.
	And anyway, now we have a new phenomenon that is breaking out around the country.
	You know, we go from migrant crime to migrant squatting.
	Linda, have you heard about this?
	I haven't.
	What's the story?
	Okay, so you actually have people all over TikTok, you know, right?
	TikTok of all places.
	They are telling people and teaching illegal immigrants how to take over the homes of Americans via, quote, squatters' rights.
	Now, for those that don't know what squatting is, squatting is, let's say, if you're in a state like New York, which, by the way, nobody would ever invest in real estate in New York if you had half a brain, you know, very, maybe on a very limited basis, but let's say you decide to rent out your apartment, your home, whatever it is, to somebody, and then they decide they're not going to pay any rent.
	And then they just stay in your home.
	It happened to a woman at a million-dollar property.
	She can't get the people out.
	I know a guy that spent over a year trying to get rid of squatters.
	I know a guy that was trying to buy a house from an owner that had a squatter in there for four years, and the courts in New York had never kicked the guy out.
	And he said, well, I'd love to buy your house.
	I'll give you time to get rid of the guy.
	But if he's not gone by a certain date, I got to move on and get a house that I can actually move into.
	It did end up working out right because it had been in the courts for nearly five years by the time it happened.
	So that's happening.
	It was great watching Tony Bobolinski embarrass Democrats at the hearing.
	As I said, we'll hit that.
	And everything that they're now trying to implement is to force feed Americans into their radical climate alarmist religious cult.
	Now, one of the things about cults that fascinate me, and I've watched many, many specials about cults.
	I don't know why.
	I'm fascinated by it.
	I've been fascinated by the issue of brainwashing.
	Years and years ago, I read a synthesis of Russian mind control techniques and how leaders literally can slowly indoctrinate people by instilling fear and using intimidation tactics or even the art of hypnosis.
	A lot of people don't think hypnosis is real.
	I've read too many books on it to know that it's very real.
	Linda, did you know that it's, do you believe that it's real?
	Have you ever seen it?
	Hypnosis?
	100%.
	I've seen it done and I think it works.
	Oh, it's 100% real.
	You know, I've actually learned the techniques, read how they do it, practiced on a friend, and it worked.
	I mean, you used the, for example, the law of reverse suggestion.
	Wait, you did this to somebody?
	Yeah, I did it to a friend to see if it worked.
	It was like a Hannity scientific moment.
	Yeah.
	Was it like getting somebody to stop being a liberal and like getting them out of their funk and making them like a bad person?
	No, if I could do that, I mean, it could save the country.
	I'm just saying.
	It could save the country.
	No, I just tried it the one time, and I was reading out of a book, the instructions on how to do it and what to say, because I was just fascinated by it.
	And it's called the law of reverse suggestion.
	And you'll tell somebody to follow your voice.
	Now, before you even start doing that, you start issuing commands that they start listening to.
	You'd be like, Linda, take off your bracelets.
	All right, now I want you to take off your necklace.
	Already I'm beginning to have you follow my instructions.
	So what happens before, all right, sit down in that chair.
	All right, sit with your back straight.
	You just start telling people what to do, and they start following your commands.
	It's so wild.
	Look, I don't know that much about it.
	Trust me, I'm no expert here.
	This is when I was in my 20s.
	I just was fascinated with it.
	Anyway, so I tried it.
	And the law of reverse suggestion would be you tell somebody, all right, put your hands together and then follow your voice and you tell them, all right, I want you to squeeze your hands.
	Squeeze it gently.
	Squeeze it gently.
	Squeeze it a little harder, a little harder, a little harder.
	Then you build up till you get to the point, squeeze it so hard that your hands are glued together and you can try as hard as you try.
	You're not going to be able to ungrasp your hands.
	And it works.
	The person cannot, you know, lift the grip of their hands because they're in that hypnotic state.
	It's crazy.
	Like they have shows, if you've ever been to like a comedy club, sometimes they'll have hypnotists and they'll take people out of the audience.
	By the way, I would never, I'm advising everybody, never let anybody hypnotize you.
	Bad idea.
	Bad idea.
	Now, this was just a friend, and I just, to see if it worked, and then I'm like, all right, where's the chapter?
	How do you get the person to snap out of this?
	I'm like looking through the book and scrolling through the book.
	It was a dear friend.
	It's a funny story.
	And I was able to do it, but then the person had a headache after.
	I'm like, God, it felt terrible.
	But I did it because I was just interested.
	And he goes, all right, let me try and hypnotize you.
	I said, okay.
	It didn't work because I knew what he was doing.
	He'd say, sit down.
	I'd say, no, I wouldn't listen to the commands.
	By the way, it might be helpful with you.
	I can hypnotize you into going and just staying out of the New York City subway system.
	That would be worthwhile.
	I don't know if that's possible.
	Don't you have to be like super, super relaxed, like crazy relaxed?
	Not in a way and not in a way.
	You just have to have people listen to what you tell them to do.
	But you as a person, like you didn't fall for it.
	So like, you know, I'm as type A as you are.
	So like, I don't even know if it's possible.
	Is it possible?
	I mean, you know, I'd have to relax.
	I never relax.
	I think under the right circumstances, anybody can be.
	I think it's that powerful.
	That's wild.
	I know it's crazy, right?
	But what your government is trying to do is they're trying to indoctrinate the population into wanting an electric vehicle, but they don't want them.
	This is a big problem.
	And this problem is only going to get worse.
	Look at Ford.
	They lost, what, $4.5 billion on their EV line.
	And you're listening to somebody, me, who has no problem with electric vehicles succeeding.
	As a matter of fact, like a company like Tesla, they're the biggest.
	And I have a friend that has a Tesla, loves it.
	But I just want people to live in freedom and have the freedom to choose that vehicle, which is best for them.
	It's not that complicated.
	I don't know if you noticed Hertz just fired their CEO after his EV strategy torpedoed the company's bottom line.
	Hertz Global Holdings is replacing their chief executive in the wake of what was a disastrous bet on EVs that the company began unwinding in recent months.
	Nobody wanted them.
	And under the new owners, the Rental Company literally announced plans to order 100,000 vehicles from Tesla, spending the automakers' market capitalization soaring past the trillion dollar mark for the first time.
	They doubled down on it months later, placing big orders with Polestar.
	I don't even know that.
	Another EV company owned by China, apparently.
	Volvo has a line.
	Anyway, those bents went awry last year when Tesla slashed prices across its lineup to keep growing their vehicle sales.
	That's just being spart on Elon Musk's part.
	Anyway, you have another electric vehicle company, vehicle company, going bankrupt.
	I just don't follow this very closely.
	I'm not that interested in it.
	That's the bottom line.
	I like my gas-powered vehicles.
	I just prefer them.
	But what they're trying to do here is now force us, force all of you to buy something you don't want to buy.
	You know, apparently not hearing the news, most car makers have slowed down their electric vehicle push because their customers are rejecting it in droves.
	They know where Tesla is if they want an EV, but forcing Ford to make an F-150 electric vehicle that nobody wants and then losing $4.5 billion, they can't function.
	That's now putting high-paying career jobs for Ford workers at risk because of a stupid decision by management.
	I don't like Aniser Bush.
	Anyway, it is now forcing more than half of the new cars to be electric by 2030.
	That's six years from now.
	Even Joe Manchin slamming Biden for this reckless EV mandate, telling people what kind of car they can't have.
	Excuse me.
	This is the problem with liberals.
	They don't love and believe in freedom.
	If they did, they wouldn't be forcing Americans to give up their gas stoves and give up their refrigerators and give up their air conditioning and force them into a car that they don't want.
	They're not believing in the American people.
	On top of it, the evidence is growing daily that the production of batteries for electric vehicles requires not only pillaging Mother Earth of manganese and, I don't know, whatever, cobalt and all these other minerals, but it also, the EV batteries require a massive amount of electricity produced by generators, most of which burn fossil fuels.
	Most grids are run by fossil fuels, the vast majority.
	And they're heavy as hell.
	And now we're learning that the heaviness of the car produces particles from the rubber wheels that then also is polluting the planet, maybe even more than gas-powered vehicles.
	You can't make that up either.
	Again, I'm not against them.
	I have two friends that love their EVs, too, and they love them.
	And I'm happy for them.
	You're really getting a kick out of this story when I'm in my.
	Everybody does stupid stuff when they're in their 20s.
	I mean, I was just interested, and I'm like reading this book.
	I'm like, let me see if this thing works.
	It is crazy, though.
	Just did that.
	That's the question.
	What got you turned on to that?
	I don't know.
	I just, I was reading something.
	I mean, I don't really see you as the kind of guy sitting around reading about hypnosis.
	No, well, I went for a period of about four years in my 20s.
	I didn't have TV.
	And my mom had given me all the Harvard classics.
	And I just started reading through them.
	You know, Dante's Inferno, all the circles of hell, and Pilgrim's Progress, and all these great, great classic books.
	So she was preparing you for the Biden administration.
	She's a very smart woman.
	My mom, prison guard, but she was the valedictorian of our high school class and could do the New York Times crossroad puzzle in ink and never get it wrong.
	She mentioned that.
	Way smarter than her son, trust me.
	So the Dow has been hovering near 40,000 all day after the Fed chair Jerome Powell predicted yesterday that if inflation continues to stabilize, he might be able to have as many as three interest rate cuts later this year.
	The only problem is in just the last two weeks, a couple of weeks, we learned about CPI numbers.
	That's the biggest measure of inflation.
	Was up 3.2% from last year.
	And then the week after we learned wholesale prices, that's been on the rise for two months now.
	And now we're also watching gas prices soar.
	Yet, once again, as we now begin our trek back to $4 a gallon gasoline, remember, gas never got to a national average of $3 a gallon under Trump ever.
	Now, that level represents the first time that the year-over-year change in gas prices increased since December last year.
	Now, of course, they're bringing in, frankly, what's called dirty crude from places like Venezuela.
	In other words, the amount of work that it takes to refine oil from Venezuela, it's just the worst thing for the environment.
	But anyway, this is the economy.
	This is Joe Biden's economy.
	And what is Joe doing in the meantime?
	Let's see.
	In an effort to, I guess, use money to, I guess, buy favor from people so that they vote for them, just like offering citizenship something of great value to people.
	Oh, I hope you'll remember us when you become citizens and vote.
	Anyway, the administration, starting next week, 78,000 additional public service workers, including teachers, firefighters, nurses.
	And I love these people.
	But they're going to now get emails about nearly $6 billion in debt cancellation, the student loan cancellation under the debt loan forgiveness program.
	Well, why are we taking money away from people that do other jobs to pay for loans that people willingly took out themselves?
	It's not fair to everybody else.
	And by the way, never mind the fact that the Supreme Court said that Joe couldn't do this.
	He doesn't care what the Supreme Court said.
	He just does what he wants anyway.
	Doesn't care what the Constitution says either because he's not enforcing immigration laws.
	Americans' credit card fees, they paid 50% more in credit card expenses last year compared to the year before Joe Biden took office.
	Why?
	Because of Biden inflation, because your money goes, it does not go as far as it was going under Donald Trump.
	And now they're going to just start giving out gifts to people in an election year.
	I'm sure in the hopes that they'll vote for them.
	I told you about Hertz Corporation firing the CEO because their EV strategy torpedoed their bottom line.
	And by the way, there are even Democrats that share President Trump's fear of a communist Chinese electric vehicle bloodbath.
	A lot of Democrats in Congress agreeing with President Trump.
	Trump's pledge to slap a 100% tariff on Chinese vehicle import aligns with the rise in anxiety in Washington with Democrats and Republicans clamoring for drastic steps to save American jobs.
	Well, before the bloodbath, purposeful misinterpretation by the mob and the media, Democratic senators had urged the Biden administration to consider increasing U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made cars.
	They should.
	Let's keep it.
	I want to only buy a car.
	I don't care what the label is.
	I just want to know when I buy a car that it's an American worker that made the car.
	Because there are foreign car companies that have plans to hire Americans to do the work.
	I'm fine with that.
	No problem.
	High-paying career job, auto industry.
	It's a good career for people.
	And as EVs now go bankrupt, Biden is now demanding that Americans take on that which they don't want.
	They don't want it.
	And now they're finding that this crackdown on gas-powered cars, in spite of the truth about electric vehicles, you know, pillaging Mother Earth, using more electricity to power the batteries, it's all coming from fossil fuel energy.
	Who the hell are they trying to kid here?
	Now, if in the end you decide it's going to save you money and it's what you desire, I'm all in favor of liberty and freedom.
	I got to give kudos.
	I'm a little mad at Republicans in the House because they're not standing united.
	I don't blame the speaker for that on the issue of spending.
	We'll get into this with Congressman Ogles later in the program from Tennessee, and they're going to force this omnibus minibus down our throat.
	But I am glad that Mike Johnson invited Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress after the dangerous and insane rantings and ravings of Schumer and Biden.
	They only did this for political considerations, that the radical base of their party has been demanding that Israel not win its war on terror against those people that committed the worst atrocities and the worst terror attack in Israel's history.
	You know what a really sad number is?
	I saw today, Gallup pollsters, they conduct what's called a global happiness survey every year where they poll citizens of different countries around the world on how happy they are with the way things are going where they live.
	For the first time since Gallup has been conducting the survey, our country, the United States of America, failed to place in the top 20 nations.
	People are actually happier even in Great Britain.
	Not notoriously known for their happiness unless they're hanging out in a pub.
	I'm joking.
	Those are my people.
	Anyway, you know what an Irish seven-course meal is, Linda McLaughlin.
	I sure do.
	It's six packing a potato.
	It just is.
	That's right.
	Anyway, since the mid-2000s, Gallup has found that happiness levels have fallen steeply among, especially among young people in Western Europe.
	They saw a gradual decline, but now Americans are sad.
	Why are they sad?
	What do they have to be happy about?
	Where's the good news?
	Are their streets safer, more secure?
	Their cities, their towns safer, more secure?
	How are they reacting to the high cost, the billions of dollars in illegal immigration costs and the threat to our national security?
	How are their schools doing?
	How's Obamacare working out?
	How do you think America looks around the world with this corpse as our president?
	Not very good.
	Anyway, 800-941-Sean on number.
	Peggy in Fresno, California.
	Peggy, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, I'm great, Sean.
	So glad to talk to you.
	I've listened to you forever.
	Thank you.
	You were talking about electric vehicles.
	I just had to share this.
	Just last week, Trump mentioned there'd be a bloodbath in the car industry.
	The very next day, I heard on the radio that Hertz RentaCar is having so much trouble with the electric cars, they can't rent them, they can't sell them, they can't junk them.
	And if that's not a bloodbath, I don't know what is.
	And if that's happening to Hertz, it's probably happening to all the other car rentals.
	I got to tell you, well, they went in the deepest.
	That's why they fired their CEO.
	But they went in deeper than anybody.
	And part of the line they took in was from China.
	Why is Hertz buying cars from China?
	Now, I happen to be a Hertz customer.
	And when I travel, I usually, you know, I usually have a Hertz waiting for me at the airport that I get into.
	I can get in and out.
	My car is ready.
	They tell you what slot it's in, and you're good to go.
	And look, it's not going to stop me from being a customer.
	I just hate boycotts.
	I don't like, you know, actually, for kicks and giggles, I wouldn't mind trying a Tesla out, to be honest.
	My friend raves about it.
	He's like, you got to drive it.
	You got to drive it.
	I'm like, okay, next time I see you, I'll drive it.
	The only car that I've wanted is a Corvette Z06 with the Z07 package.
	That is the best muscle car ever produced in this country, ever.
	And they're in such high demand.
	They can't even produce enough of them.
	And the Z07 package has carbon fiber, which they use in racing cars.
	I know I'm digressing into my own little selfish desire here.
	But your point is well taken.
	Anyway, Peggy, we love you.
	Thank you.
	Let's say hi to Kevin in Montana.
	Kevin, how are you?
	Kevin, are you there?
	Good, sir.
	You got me there?
	I got you there.
	What's going on?
	Well, I can tell you, as an American person dealing with a lot of these situations that are going on here, the whole thing with the squatter deal is real, and you guys need to sit down and actually realize it.
	I actually ended up renting my house to a gentleman that ended up having more rights to my own property than I did as the owner of the property.
	And then as a 14-year firefighter, wildland firefighter, I came back to park my camper in there because we work several months on, several months off.
	I was the criminal for being on my own property that I pay for.
	And this gentleman had more rights to this property that I own, that I pay for, that I pay taxes for, that I work for, than I did to the point where I could not shut off power to not provide heat or something like that to the property.
	I would be thrown out of my own property and be told that I needed to pay for his debts that I've already been paying for the entire time.
	I think that is criminalistic in the United States of America today.
	We need to work for our own.
	We need to respect our red, white, and blue, and our veterans and every legitimate citizen that comes here.
	It's sad.
	It's not.
	You want to know what's even worse?
	If you try to enforce your rights, this was in the Daily Wire.
	They had a great story about it.
	If you try to enforce your rights as the homeowner and kick these criminals out, the odds are very, very high that the police, almost universally, will have to take the side of the criminal home invader, and they'll kick the homeowner to the curb.
	Now, you can't even make this up.
	It is happening.
	A 47-year-old woman in Queens dragged away from her own home in handcuffs because someone claimed to have a lease for her property.
	The guy can't show the lease to anyone because it doesn't exist, including the police and the media, but he claims he's been living there for around a month, and they arrest the woman.
	Quote, unlawful eviction is what they call it.
	Now, this is New York, so you have to factor in the New York insanity issue.
	You had another serial squatter, this one refusing to leave a $2 million Seattle home, pulled the same trick on his previous landlords, didn't pay rent for months, costing for two years in one case, two years, $200,000.
	And anyway, that sparked a fury in a pretty upgraded upmarket neighborhood after squatting for almost a year in this five-bedroom property.
	You know, the tenant owns, in another case, $80,000.
	And, you know, now you find out that the family, they don't have the rights to their own home.
	A suspected squatter in a $1 million New York City home is subletting this space in another bizarre twist.
	Doesn't even own the property.
	What the hell is wrong with us?
	I'll tell you what else is sick, too.
	Anyway, good call.
	I appreciate it.
	Kevin, you're right.
	It's real.
	You have a former NBC executive sparking a backlash for saying that 18-year-old Baron Trump, he just had his birthday, the youngest son of the president, is, quote, fair game after turning 18.
	Mike Sington is his name, retired NBC, of course, NBC, home of MSDNC, the host of the conspiracy theorist channel.
	Anyway, senior executive, better known for his pro-liberal social media post, he commented on Baron's birthday.
	Oh, he's fair game now.
	What a jackass.
	I did happen to meet this kid a couple of times in interviews with the president.
	The kid is amazing.
	First of all, he's like 6'9.
	He's a big kid, really handsome young man, smart as hell, straight A student, great golfer, great athlete.
	And I mean, the fact that you want to go after an 18-year-old kid, what the hell is wrong with you?
	Well, Hannah, do you go after Hunter Biden?
	Hunter Biden is 50-some-odd years old.
