| Jesus didn't do the wrongs that he was persecuted for and executed for. | |
| Trump did. | |
| But people aren't going in the New York Stock Exchange now because of what's happening in New York, because they don't want to be attacked by a thug like this horrible attorney general that we have. | |
| Border security is a big piece of national security. | |
| And if we don't know who is coming into our country and we don't know what their intent is, that is a threat. | |
| The clock is ticking. | |
| Only 221 more days left till you get to vote. | |
| Where we're 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 Hannity is on. | |
| Oh. | |
| Yeah, no, it's me. | |
| It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| He's taking the day off. | |
| It's a holiday weekend, but we have got a lot to get to. | |
| You do not want to miss today's show. | |
| We'll get to Jon Stewart, who was caught overvaluing his apartment in a transaction. | |
| A lot to get to today. | |
| I have never hated Joe Biden more than I do right now. | |
| And this is not political. | |
| This is personal. | |
| He's in the neighborhood. | |
| He has got the traffic all screwed up, this whole neighborhood, because he's here right now. | |
| They got barricades everywhere. | |
| Nobody can move. | |
| Two blocks that way, they got the greatest bakery. | |
| I'm trying to go there today. | |
| You're not allowed on that side street. | |
| It's closed. | |
| Everything is closed. | |
| Joe Biden has come to New York for a big fundraiser tonight. | |
| Radio City Music Hall, the legendary venue. | |
| It'll take place there. | |
| But that's at 8 o'clock. | |
| In the meantime, as we speak, he's right down there, a couple blocks that way at a hotel where they're having a fundraiser. | |
| What it is, there's actually a couple of these between now and that 8 o'clock show. | |
| These are the big, big, big, big donors, the mega donors. | |
| And when you give that much money, he comes to your house. | |
| He'll come to your apartment. | |
| You invite 50 of your friends, sometimes 75. | |
| I mean, these guys have apartments where they can have 75 people. | |
| They're paying $100,000 a person. | |
| Part of the deal is you get to take a picture with Joe Biden. | |
| You get a little meet and greet. | |
| And you get a picture that you can put on your wall. | |
| You know, when you go to these big donors' houses, as soon as you walk in, there's a picture of them with six different presidents, 12 different senators, 19 different governors. | |
| This is what they used to show off with. | |
| And if you're the big, big donor throwing the event, why you've got a picture of the president right there in your living room. | |
| So this will go on for a couple of hours. | |
| Then he heads over to Radio City Music Hall that's 6,000 seats. | |
| And it's going to be three presidents on the stage. | |
| Now, the reason for this, they're charging a fortune. | |
| The cheapest ticket way in the back is $200. | |
| Up front, top tickets, hang on, $500,000 a ticket. | |
| $500,000 a ticket. | |
| Now, for that, you get the meet and greet. | |
| You get to come to a private room in Radio City backstage and you get to meet Joe Biden. | |
| I have met Joe Biden many times. | |
| It's exciting because when you say something to him, he looks at you and he says, and you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out what the hell did he say to me? | |
| You can't even understand it or hear it. | |
| You don't know what he said. | |
| And as you leave, everybody goes, what did he say? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I couldn't hear him. | |
| I don't know what he said. | |
| So now it's going to be three presidents. | |
| The reason for this is if you just had Joe Biden alone on stage, can you imagine him trying to fill two hours on stage? | |
| Can you imagine trying to listen to this incoherent mumbling for two hours? | |
| So with him, it's going to be Bill Clinton, great orator, very articulate, incredible storyteller, and Barack Obama. | |
| Nobody's smoother, slicker, articulate. | |
| So these two guys will carry the night. | |
| They will do all the talking. | |
| Now, the moderator for this, these three are going to be on stage, these three presidents, and the moderator will be Stephen Colbert. | |
| I mean, obviously, listen, he's a very, very slanted, biased comedian on that stupid late night show. | |
| But this is like over the top, what you're not supposed to do. | |
| You're not supposed to actually go work for the campaign. | |
| Colbert will be working for the campaign, hosting the fundraiser tonight, being the MC of all of that. | |
| Now, they're expected to make today $25 million between the Radio City thing and these couple of apartments he's running around with these donor apartments he's visiting. | |
| So he'll leave New York with $25 million in cash. | |
| And then he'll tell you about how bad the rich are. | |
| He'll tell you how awful they are. | |
| Why can't they pay their fair share? | |
| Why can't the rich pay their taxes? | |
| He says this as his own family is being charged with tax evasion. | |
| But this will be, the hypocrisy is just nuclear level. | |
| I mean, it's unbelievable. | |
| Now, while he's doing that, Donald Trump has gone to Long Island to be at the wake of this slain cop. | |
| Now, think about this story. | |
| This is an unbelievable story. | |
| As you know, that defund the police and hate the police and let all the criminals out of jail and these crazy district attorneys. | |
| We got one of them here in New York, lets the criminals out, leads to the biggest crime wave. | |
| Terrible, terrible stuff. | |
| This was the most awful story of this cop slain. | |
| Now, what happened is the criminal killed the cop. | |
| That's why you're not hearing about it on the nightly news. | |
| That's why it's not on the networks. | |
| That's why it's not on CNN or MSNBC. | |
| That's why it won't be on the Sunday shows. | |
| If it had been the other way around, if the cop had shot the criminal in the car, you'd be seeing this video day and night. | |
| The body cam footage would be running constantly on CNN or MSNBC. | |
| But because it was the other way around, the media ignoring it. | |
| Now, this is what happens when you have crazy democratic rule in a city. | |
| It's not just New York. | |
| There are 26 of these district attorneys funded by George Soros, put in by the Democrats, just like the one in New York. | |
| He actually lets the most dangerous criminals out. | |
| This is how Lake and Riley got killed. | |
| This is how many people have been killed, robbed, raped, shoved into a subway because this district attorney lets them out. | |
| First day in office, he put out a big memo. | |
| We will not seek carceral sentences. | |
| That means we won't put anybody in jail. | |
| Now, think about this situation with this cop. | |
| There's a car idling with two, looks suspicious. | |
| Two guys are sitting in it. | |
| The cops approach. | |
| The two guys in the car, both of them career criminals with multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple felonies. | |
| The one that shot had 21 priors on his record. | |
| And just recently here in New York, he was arrested on a gun charge. | |
| They let him out. | |
| They didn't put him in jail. | |
| They let him go. | |
| Remember that old three strikes in your out law? | |
| They used to have, what happened to that? | |
| This is 21 priors and a lifetime in and out of prison and 21 priors. | |
| Gun charge, they let him go. | |
| They let him go. | |
| Same thing with the other guy. | |
| So the cops approached. | |
| One of these criminals shot the cop, hero cop, even after being shot. | |
| He still tried to wrestle the gun away, and he managed to stop the guy from shooting the other cop. | |
| So it's a horrible, horrible tragedy. | |
| Young cop, three, four years on the force, got a one-year-old child. | |
| The funeral is Saturday. | |
| The wake was today. | |
| So the family has been talking to Donald Trump. | |
| He's been calling them, talking to him on the phone every day. | |
| I'm not supposed to mention this, but I think he's also helped them out financially. | |
| We're not supposed to mention that. | |
| Not supposed to mention that, but he doesn't want credit for that. | |
| Hey, and I also hear Dave Portnoy just raised $1.5 million for the cop and his family. | |
| And a lot of people are contributing these kinds of funds. | |
| But Trump came to Long Island, Massapequa, for the wake. | |
| He was there. | |
| This is while Biden is in a multi-multi-billionaire donor's apartment collecting money. | |
| Now, the family and the, well, it's more the police unions. | |
| The mayor of New York, who's caught in the middle here, he's a former cop. | |
| He would like to go after all the criminals, but he's a Democrat, so he has to go along with this no bail, no jail nonsense. | |
| But he was there. | |
| Trump greeted him. | |
| And the police commissioner is a good guy, Eddie Caban, the New York police commissioner. | |
| Again, he's as handcuffed as the rest of the police. | |
| So Trump goes out there. | |
| The family asked all of these Democratic officials, city council, the legislators who passed this no bail, no jail. | |
| The awful district attorney lets the criminals. | |
| They asked him to stay away from this wake. | |
| Don't come anywhere near it. | |
| Now, I'm just warning you, starting tonight and tomorrow, you're going to see all the left-wing media and the networks and MSNBC and CNN. | |
| They're going to go after Trump saying, why, he tried to politicize the death of this policeman, tried to politicize it. | |
| Yes, absolutely. | |
| He was asked to by the family. | |
| By the way, it was the family that asked him if he could come to the wake. | |
| They would like this politicized. | |
| They would like this cop's death to become the turning point where we start to turn this around. | |
| They want as much attention on this so some good could come out of this where, and hopefully other people will join in with Donald Trump and support this family and start talking about it. | |
| Hey, I'll play you what happened. | |
| He was at the wake. | |
| You also hear Bruce Blakeman. | |
| He's the county executive in Nassau County. | |
| Good guy. | |
| Good guy. | |
| This is a common sense guy. | |
| He runs Nassau County, but he's pro-police, not a sanctuary city. | |
| So Trump goes to the wake and comes out, and you could tell he was really moved by this. | |
| No reason for the most senseless death of this cop. | |
| Here's Donald Trump coming out of the wake. | |
| Well, thank you very much, everybody. | |
| I want to thank Bruce and all of the people that have worked so hard to make this area beautiful and safe. | |
| And this is what happened is such a sad, sad event, such a horrible thing. | |
| And it's happening all too often, and we're just not going to let it happen. | |
| We just can't 21 times arrested this thug. | |
| And the person in the car with him was arrested many times. | |
| And they don't learn because they don't respect. | |
| They're not given the respect. | |
| The police are the greatest people we have. | |
| There's nothing and there's nobody like them. | |
| And this should never happen. | |
| I just visited with a very beautiful wife that now doesn't have her husband. | |
| Stephanie was just incredible. | |
| Their child, brand new, beautiful baby, sitting there innocent as can be. | |
| Doesn't know how his life has been changed. | |
| But the Diller family will, you'll never be the same. | |
| You can never be the same. | |
| And we have to stop it. | |
| We have to stop it. | |
| We have to get back to law and order. | |
| We have to do a lot of things differently because this is not working. | |
| This is happening too often. | |
| It's an honor to be here. | |
| And again, I want to just thank all of you folks for allowing this. | |
| And Bruce, thank you. | |
| Bruce has been a friend of mine for a long time. | |
| He's done an incredible job out here. | |
| But this is such a sad occasion. | |
| The only thing we can say is maybe something is going to be learned. | |
| We've got to toughen it up. | |
| We've got to strengthen it up. | |
| This should never be allowed. | |
| Things like this shouldn't take place and to take place so often. | |
| So thank you all for being here. | |
| It's an honor and it's an honor for me to be here. | |
| This is a great family, the Diller family. | |
| I met the friends and I met every one of them inside. | |
| And these are just incredible people that are just devastated. | |
| They're devastated. | |
| They've got a tough road. | |
| It's going to be a very tough road. | |
| So thank you very much, everybody. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| Yeah, and hopefully he keeps the spotlight on this. | |
| This is very important. | |
| And this is the story that should change everything. | |
| You know, we have this crazy district attorney who doesn't believe in locking up criminals. | |
| He lets them all loose. | |
| That's how this poor cop got killed, this hero cop. | |
| It's the governor's fault, Governor Hochl. | |
| The district attorneys all work for her. | |
| She can remove one at any time. | |
| About two years ago, when she came in, they asked her to remove this guy, and she decided to keep him. | |
| So she has blame for this cop's death. | |
| You know, DeSantis had one of these crazy district attorneys in Florida. | |
| He removed him, put in a real DA, and problem solved. | |
| This is also Joe Biden's fault. | |
| He's the head of the Democratic Party. | |
| He's the president. | |
| If he called up this governor and if he called up this district attorney and said, as the head of the Democratic Party, I'm telling you to stop this. | |
| If you want any future in this party, you know, you kind of threaten him a little, but Biden looking the other way on this, and that's why this happens. | |
| A horrible situation. | |
| Anyway, we've got lots to talk about. | |
| That weasel, Jon Stewart, got caught inflating the value of his apartment in a transaction by 800%. | |
| Hey, I'll give you some details of that Trump apartment price and why it's not wrong. | |
| Anyway, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| I'm normally on our big flagship, WOR here in New York. | |
| Follow me on Instagram. | |
| I need more Instagram followers. | |
| It's Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. | |
| Mark Simone NYC and Instagram. | |
| I tell you to follow me on Twitter, but I'm still shadow banned. | |
| It's still shadow. | |
| And also, of course, check out Hannity.com and watch Hannity tonight on the Fox News channel. | |
| Hey, we'll take some calls in just a moment. | |
| Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| We'll take some calls. | |
| Normally, Katie would be screening the calls. | |
| Instead, we have brought in like senior vice president, top executive Eric Stanger. | |
| Do you even know how to screen calls? | |
| When was the last time you screened a call? | |
| 15 years ago? | |
| More often than you think. | |
| Oh, I heard that you were in, and I just had to come work with you. | |
| See, that's the way it works. | |
| When I'm here, a top management comes running to actually, I don't think anybody else could get here because, as I said, Joe Biden is in the neighborhood clogging up the traffic everywhere. | |
| Anyway, let's take some calls. | |
| Let's go to Ava in Springfield, Mississippi. | |
| Ava, how you doing? | |
| Hey, how are you doing today? | |
| Thanks for taking my call. | |
| We're down here in Missouri. | |
| Oh, I said Mississippi. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| It just says M-I-S-S. | |
| I guessed. | |
| Mississippi. | |
| No worries. | |
| No worries. | |
| It's getting pretty political and volatile down here. | |
| And I've asked around quite a bit. | |
| Professional. | |
| I spend a lot of time with folks working on campaigns and different things. | |
| But nobody's able to answer a question. | |
| So I'm going to ask you if President Trump is elected, which I pray to God he is, and he gets convicted. | |
| How does he stay in office? | |
| Oh, well, let me answer that. | |
| You can be convicted and be president. | |
| There's nothing in the Constitution that prohibits that. | |
| You remember Eugene V. Debs, he ran for president while he was in jail. | |
| You could actually be convicted. | |
| You could even be in jail and run for president. | |
| So that's not a problem. | |
| The constitutional requirements don't say anything about that. | |
| He can run. | |
| Now, the other thing is, it is believed, I guess this would have to be tested and really tested in court. | |
| It is believed by the Secret Service that he cannot actually ever go to jail. | |
| That if he was convicted and sentenced, they cannot leave him out of their protection in a jail. | |
| They would have to set up some sort of home confinement where they guarded him. | |
| They cannot turn him over to the prison, according to the Secret Service. | |
| But again, they'll drag that into court. | |
| That'll have to get tested. | |
| But it's a great question, Ava. | |
| Thanks for calling. | |
| Hey, we'll take some more calls. | |
| We've got a lot to talk about today. | |
| Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| And as I said, you can follow me on Instagram. | |
| It's Mark Simone, NYC at Instagram. | |
| My website, marksimone.com. | |
| How about that? | |
| Also, check out Hannity.com. | |
| Some great stuff up there. | |
| Back in a moment. | |
| Jobs. | |
| Joe Biden can't spell it, and he can't keep them for the American people. | |
| Check out the Sean Hannity Jobs Forum today. | |
| Now, Hannity's on coast to coast. | |
| Come back. | |
| It's the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Mark Simone here for Sean. | |
| Have you noticed your insurance going up? | |
| Your car insurance, insurance costs? | |
| You know, they just keep raising the price. | |
| It just keeps going up. | |
| You know what's responsible for that? | |
| Electric vehicles. | |
| Joe Biden will tell you it's the greedy insurance companies. | |
| It's electric vehicles, more and more of them on the road. | |
| And it costs a lot more money to insure and fix an electric vehicle. | |
| You know, if your battery went out in your car, how much is the new battery? | |
| $100,020? | |
| Electric vehicle, new battery? | |
| $18,000. | |
| Little fender bender, you know how much it is to fix the electrical vehicle? | |
| It's not $6,000. | |
| It's like $28,000. | |
| So the cost for the insurance company is through the roof. | |
| So they're passing it along to everybody else because all those EVs out, the cost to the insurance companies is through the roof. | |
| So they're increasing everybody's insurance as a result. | |
| You know, if Joe Biden and the Democrats keep forcing more and more people to get electric vehicles, the other problem, besides the fact that they're dangerous and that they pollute like crazy, maybe more than even gas vehicles do, the other problem is it's inflationary. | |
| It costs a lot more for the car, a lot more for repairs, a lot more even to fill it up. | |
| You know, it's not free to fill it up. | |
| You pay for a lot of electricity to do it. | |
| And you know where electricity comes from? | |
| Well, about 68% of it is fossil fuel. | |
| Gas, coal, oil. | |
| That's the problem with those electric vehicles. | |
| The battery is an environmental nightmare trying to dispose of those. | |
| Hey, just to make the battery, you got to strip mine half the earth to get those minerals. | |
| So you'll get more actual environmental damage from that electric car. | |
| You know, all these things they keep pitching. | |
| All you got to do is look at Europe. | |
| They've had to backtrack on all of it. | |
| Europe was like 10 years ahead of us. | |
| You know, they put windmills everywhere in Germany and every well. | |
| If you take a look at it, you'll notice they spent the last year tearing it all down because it doesn't work. | |
| There's not enough wind. | |
| You could power a little, an extra 3% with the windmills, but that's about it. | |
| So the windmills are all coming down. | |
| Hey, by the way, what do you think those windmills run on? | |
| Oil. | |
| They never tell you that. | |
| Oh, they call it lubricant, but you need 3,000 gallons of lubricant, oil a year to run those windmills. | |
| The blades are like the size of the Washington Monument. | |
| You got to change them every year. | |
| Another environmental disaster trying to dispose of those blades. | |
| So all of this stuff, absolute waste of time and money. | |
| Hey, we didn't find our guest? | |
| No. | |
| Okay, we're looking for the bridge. | |
| This horrible, horrible bridge tragedy. | |
| You know, you remember how Joe Biden stepped in and said, We will pay the cost. | |
| The federal government will pay for the bridge. | |
| Well, there's a catch to that. | |
| I'll get to that in a moment. | |
| Oh, but before we do that, with us right now, Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, Arizona, doing great work there in a tough situation. | |
| It's a border state. | |
| And she's got a great column you should read at Foxnews.com. | |
| Congresswoman Lesko, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Well, thank you for having me. | |
| I hope you're having a great day. | |
| I'm having a miserable day. | |
| You know that Joe Biden is right outside for a fundraiser, and all our streets are closed up. | |
| This is terrible. | |
| It's awful. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Well, I tell you what, I am having a good day here in Arizona. | |
| Unfortunately, the border is wide open, and these Democrats, they just keep on prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens, and it's downright infuriating. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Let me ask you something. | |
| I was watching, Donald Trump is speaking the other night. | |
| I don't know why, but CNN started to carry it. | |
| And he started to talk about these illegals crossing the border. | |
| And he said, among them are criminals or maybe possible terrorists. | |
| Well, CNN cut out of the speech, and they said, we have to cut out because he's giving false information. | |
| All of that was debunked. | |
| Could you tell me, what day was that when it was debunked? | |
| I missed that. | |
| Did that ever happen? | |
| I missed that, too, because as we know and we see in the news and on TV, there are indeed people that are here illegally that are murdering people, raping people. | |
| That doesn't mean that every single illegal immigrant is doing that, but when there's over 9 million people that have come illegally across the border since Biden's been in office, there are people in that group that are criminals and they're murderers. | |
| One just happened. | |
| Another murder just happened in Michigan. | |
| And you know what the Michigan Democrat governor does? | |
| No. | |
| $500 a month to landlords for rent subsidies for illegal immigrants. | |
| I mean, this is pure insanity. | |
| It's absolutely infuriating. | |
| No, it's just total chaos. | |
| And that border bill, you know, if you watch the fake news, they'll tell you what was the toughest border bill ever and Republicans didn't pass it. | |
| There was nothing in there that would have helped. | |
| You saw the bill. | |
| Nothing. | |
| Yeah, no. | |
| The House Republicans, we passed a bill out of the House last year, H.R. 2. | |
| It actually would have secured the border because it implemented the things that President Trump did in the last administration that actually cut down on illegal immigration, like remain in Mexico policy, increasing the asylum standards, building the wall, you know, logical things that the Customs and Border Patrol officers have told us need to be done in order to secure the border. | |
| And that's what President Trump did. | |
| And they won't pass it. | |
| Schumer won't even hear the bill. | |
| Instead, they have this other bill that would effectively put into law, it would increase. | |
| Right now, our law says if one person comes across the border, you're supposed to detain them until their court hearing. | |
| Well, Biden's not doing that, obviously. | |
| But they want to put into law with that Senate bill that 4,999 illegals could cross the bay. | |
| And that would be perfectly fine. | |
| I mean, that's ridiculous. | |
| There's no way that I was going to vote for that or Republicans in the House because it would have made it worse than a status quo. | |
| You know, they'll always point to, well, there was money for more border agents. | |
| Haven't they moved all the border agents off the border and into the processing centers to usher in the illegals? | |
| Isn't that what they're being used for now? | |
| Well, you know, that's what our governor, we have a Democrat governor here in Arizona, Katie Hobbs, and she asked the federal government for $752 million. | |
| You know what it's for? | |
| Is it for securing the border? | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| It's for helping illegal immigrants more to give them housing, to give them transportation. | |
| And that's what boggles my mind. | |
| It's like, what is the deal with Biden and these Democrats? | |
| They want an open border. | |
| Then they want to give free money, which is costing us money, taxpayer dollars that we pay in to give to illegal immigrants. | |
| And we've seen in the past where they boot out veterans out of housing and put in illegal immigrants. | |
| I mean, there are people, U.S. citizens, that are struggling to pay rent. | |
| And here in Phoenix, we have a growing homeless population. | |
| But what do these Democrats do? | |
| They give money to illegal immigrants. | |
| It's just, I just, it's just, as I said before, infuriating. | |
| I'm so frustrated. | |
| And so that's why we need to make sure we retain a Republican majority in the House so we can pass bills again like HR two, but then get a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate that will actually hear the bill and then get President Trump elected so we can actually secure the border for the American people. | |
| Yeah, you know, when they say there's terrorists among these illegals and there's criminals among these illegals, that's not just somebody claiming you've actually heard that from intelligence agencies and officials. | |
| Well, yeah, it's on record. | |
| There was 169 illegals that were on the terrorist watch list that they caught in the last fiscal year. | |
| And so far this year, since October of 2023, there's been 69 caught. | |
| Now, how many haven't they caught? | |
| I mean, you know, that's the same thing with Sentinel. | |
| You see the pictures of all of the fentanyl that they're catching at the border in New Gallis, Arizona. | |
| But then there's a whole bunch in between the ports of entry that they are catching as well. | |
| And so the fentanyl is just flooding across. | |
| People are floating across. | |
| There's sex trafficking. | |
| We've seen reports even from the New York Times, which is a liberal media organization, that's saying that they're using these kids as child labor. | |
| They just cracked down in another one, I think, in Tennessee, where they have these illegal kids that are working. | |
| And they're also being sex trafficked. | |
| It's just a sad state of affairs. | |
| When my Democratic colleagues say, oh, they're trying to be humane to the illegal immigrants. | |
| Well, you know what's not humane? | |
| It's having the cartels have these illegal immigrants pay them thousands of dollars, raping them, having them sent over here for sex trafficking. | |
| That's not humane. | |
| Now, the real goal of these Democrats is, I assume, to get these millions and millions of illegals on the voter rolls, also to locate them in certain states to increase the population, get more congressional seats. | |
| Isn't that really what they're up to? | |
| Well, that's the only thing I can think of that would be logical reason for it. | |
| Like, why in the world would Biden and all these Democrats want open border policies so that terrorists are causing the border? | |
| It's costing us tons of money to process these folks. | |
| And we don't even know who's going to cross the border. | |
| So as you have said, when the census is done every 10 years, they don't count U.S. citizens. | |
| They count residents. | |
| And that's what the number of congressional seats are based on is the number of residents, the population. | |
| And so if they attract them to all of these Democrat cities and Democrat states, they're going to naturally have more Democrat-elected congressional members. | |
| And I think that's the end goal, that then they eventually change it so illegals can vote. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, you're doing great work. | |
| Congresswoman Debbie Lesko of Arizona. | |
| Keep it up and make sure you follow her on Twitter and read her column, Foxnews.com. | |
| It's in our great piece that she's written. | |
| Thanks for being with us. | |
| Thank you for having me. | |
| All right. | |
| Take care. | |
| It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| We'll take some calls in a moment. | |
| 800-941 Sean is the number. | |
| 800-941 Sean. | |
| Lots to get to. | |
| We'll get to that weasel, Jon Stewart, guilty of something just awful. | |
| We'll get to that coming up. | |
| Mark Simone here on the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Hey, welcome back. | |
| It's the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Mark Simone here for Sean. | |
| Let's take some calls. | |
| Let's go to Brandon in Wisconsin. | |
| Brandon, how you doing? | |
| Hey, Mark. | |
| How you doing today? | |
| I'm good. | |
| All right. | |
| Say, man, I'm Mailman Central Wisconsin. | |
| Shout out 99.9 WSAU up here. | |
| Driving around, I had a question. | |
| With that crooked judge. | |
| It definitely got that Cliff Clavin sound. | |
| Oh, do I? | |
| Sorry about that. | |
| No, it's okay. | |
| You guys know a lot about everything. | |
| You're like a Cliff Clavin. | |
| Well, I appreciate you. | |
| But anyway, that crooked judge that said Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million. | |
| They couldn't get a value off of that by the property taxes that are paid off the assessment that everybody in America has to pay their property taxes. | |
| Well, believe it or not, he got that number from the Palm Beach tax assessor. | |
| It's just the number they come up. | |
| It says right at the bottom of it, the tax assessor rights. | |
| This is not for income tax purposes, and this does not reflect the actual value of the property. | |
| I don't know why, but in these towns, when they assess you, it never matches the real price. | |
| But Brandon, thanks for calling. | |
| It's a good point. | |
| Mar-a-lago, according to every, I mean, you take the top five experts on Palm Beach real estate. | |
| They all put it at around $1.5 billion for the whole property. | |
| And you could look at all the comparables. | |
| One real estate expert looked at the parking lot at Mar-a-Lago, just the parking lot. | |
| That land alone would go for $180 million, just the land the parking lot is on. | |
| You know, like his apartment in New York, that whole fuss, he listed it as if it had a value of $200 million. | |
| Now, that might sound crazy, but it's right over there. | |
| I can see it out the window. | |
| It's a block that way. | |
| In this neighborhood, believe it or not, there's a lot of apartments that go for $200 million. | |
| There's one over there on Central Park South that was just purchased for $250 million. | |
| I know it sounds insane, but in these new buildings in New York, that's how crazy it is. | |
| So it's not outrageous to say his apartment was worth $200 million because, frankly, it's bigger than the $250 million apartment. | |
| Trump's apartment in Trump Tower is three full floors of the building, plus the entire rooftop of Trump Tower. | |
| It's spectacular. | |
| It's unbelievably enormous. | |
| So it's clear. | |
| He wasn't wrong. | |
| You could sell it for $200 million. | |
| And he said in that valuation, it's the apartment of a former president. | |
| That would increase the price, and it really does. | |
| Now, you may have heard Jon Stewart go after him for that. | |
| Well, it turns out Jon Stewart's the one that overvalued his apartment by 800%. | |
| He put it at $17 million, $18 million. | |
| But if you look at the video of Jon Stewart's apartment, it's pretty bad. | |
| It doesn't look good. | |
| It's got a lot of space. | |
| Maybe it's got 6,000 square feet, but it's kind of plain and nothing. | |
| You know, Trump's has got the finest everything from the hinges to the doorknobs to the floor to Jon Stewart's is the plainest. | |
| I mean, and the fact is, when it sold recently, it sold for about 12 million. | |
| So he seriously overstated the value of his apartment. | |
| But listen, you can list your house for whatever you want. | |
| If the real estate agent shows up and they calculate it's worth about $500,000, you know, she's going to say, all right, well, list it for $650,000. | |
| I mean, that's the way it works. | |
| I got a friend who always keeps his house listed on the market. | |
| He's not moving. | |
| He doesn't want to sell. | |
| He always lists this out at double the value. | |
| And I always say, well, why do you do that? | |
| He said, you never know. | |
| Somebody might offer it and I'll take it. | |
| Well, it took a few years. | |
| Somebody offered it and he took it, but he made himself a fortune. | |
| Well, we got a lot to get to in the next hour. | |
| Hey, Sean will be back on Monday. | |
| Actually, we got some stuff for you, good stuff tomorrow on the show. |
