Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Well we have come in to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song We'll all be flying higher than a jetliner Oh, yeah.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
I wouldn't go out there and extol the miracle of the Biden economy.
It just drives me crazy when he does that.
And prices, although inflation is moderated, prices are still high, price of gasoline is still high.
Other prices are still high, and people feel that pinch.
Sometimes when these debates happen, I feel like it's the early 2000s, and I'm talking to some people who uh think that we can just have landline phones forever.
Believe it or not, only two hundred and seven days left till you get to vote.
Yeah, we are coming.
your city.
Gonna 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.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity show.
Toll-free.
It's 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Well, a lot going on in Washington, D.C. One is whether the U.S. Senate will in fact uh shut down and all business come to a screeching halt because next week they're going to receive articles of impeachment as it relates to the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorchis, who was impeached in the House.
Uh, and Republicans are vowing that uh no, they have a constitutional obligation to actually take up the issue of Mayorcus.
Although at the end of the day, I would blame the open border crisis that has been created entirely on Joe Biden himself, but we're gonna get to that.
Um, but uh we welcome back first to the program.
We got a lot to talk about regarding well, H5N1 uh avian flu uh is now causing major outbreaks among poultry and now beef and now even I guess some birds and and I don't know what other animals exist the the disgusting dirty filthy pigeons in New York City.
Uh but Ram Paul, Senator of Kentucky, joins us.
By the way, his book, if you haven't read it, you need to.com.
We have a link up on Hannity.com as well.
Sir, welcome back.
Well, thanks a lot, Sean.
I'm glad you're not holding anything back on the pigeons.
I'm all in on the dirty filthy pigeons.
They are dirty, they're filthy, they're disgusting.
I don't know, did you ever see the move the movie Home Alone or Home Alone 2, one of the home alones, and there's the scene, the the pigeon lady and she feeds the pigeons all day and they're like, you know, sitting on her and and they go on her arms and her hat and her head, and they're all pooping all over.
I'm like, man, who would ever want that?
Um they are pretty they are pretty filthy, I can tell you from uh real life experience when I was foolish enough to live in that state.
Um, just add in Alfred Hitchcock's the birds, and you got me.
By the way, that boy, that brings back memories.
You're you're right.
Uh before I get to all of the the stuff that we have to talk to about today, um, I'm reading all of these predictions, and and some people already are in full panic mode because of what's gone on with the H5N1, you know, flu virus that has been showing outbreaks among poultry and other mammals and 48 states, over 85 million poultry now have been affected.
It's obviously highly contagious among domestic poultry, and it can spread through an entire flock within a matter of days.
And now apparently it's crossed over into mammals as well and and cow herds.
I'm not an expert on it, but I'm reading it, and one guy I was reading what he was saying about it.
Well, if if human beings get it, it's gonna be a hundred times worse than COVID.
I'm like, okay, slow down.
Can we please take a breath before we start going to you know full panic mode?
Uh what was your what's your reaction?
What's your what is your medical background as a medical doctor tell you?
Well, the avian flu is one of the first flues that they did take into the lab and try to aerosolize it and make it more contagious to mammals.
This was done by a guy named Ron Chie, F O U C H I E R, in 2010.
This started the debate between Anthony Fauci, who wants to let it rip and let them do whatever they want, and then a couple of uh or a bunch of sane-minded scientists who said we shouldn't be doing this.
So avian flu is very, very contagious among avians, chickens, birds, etc.
It's very deadly in humans and does rarely already does infect humans.
It's about 50% lethal if it gets into a human.
The good news is that it doesn't uh transmit well from human to human.
And this is also why we believe COVID was manipulated, because if it were an animal virus, it wouldn't have been so infectious among humans.
But avian flu, unless it's manipulated in a lab has not been a big risk to us.
And so the big risk here is are some knuckleheads in China and the Wuhan lab manipulating it.
Are we doing it in our country?
And see, we can't even get the non-classified stuff we do in our country, much less what we're doing classified.
So we need to get to the bottom of this.
I should know, and the public should know, are we experimenting with avian flu in our country?
And because Matthew Fauci's position in support of this, we could be, for all I know.
And they won't give me the information.
But right now, the experiments have been done, but for the most part, I think what's being transmitted is natural avian flu, and it just doesn't affect humans well.
When it does, it's very lethal.
In your book, you go into great specificity in detail about American tax dollars funding the NIH, NIH money going to the Eco Health Alliance, the Eco Health Alliance knowingly giving money to the Wuhan Virology lab where everybody knew the gain of function research and coronavirus research was going on.
Now you're investigating secret trips that you believe Dr. Fauci made to the CIA before the COVID nineteen outbreak, and you're investigating, quote, off the books meetings that Fauci had with the CIA.
Uh that you've also have stories, rumors, and innuendo that Fauci was a frequent visitor of the uh off the books of uh at the CIA.
Um, and you have a whistleblower involved in this.
What are we looking at here?
I mean, is this way bigger than anybody ever thought?
Perhaps.
And you know, they're guarding these secrets like the palace secrets.
But our informant or whistleblower from the CIA says that the they ask the scientist at the CIA, the same way they did the FBI and the Department of Energy, they ask them, did this come from a lab, or does the evidence say it came from animals?
He tells us that the vote was six to one, that the scientists voted six to one that the virus originated in a lab and was manipulated in a lab.
They were then overturned by superiors.
Where Anthony Fauci enters into it is we need to know which days he visited and who he met with and whether he met with these superiors.
We do know that when an inspector general looked into the CIA analyst, they were found to be looking at anything to do with China and downgrading that uh information if it implicated China in anything, because they saw Donald Trump as blaming the virus on China.
He called it the Wuhan virus, because of course it started in Wuhan of all places, but they were would that be like calling the German measles the German measles?
Yeah.
But anyway, they they uh they went on to um you know determine that, but then they said, well, we're going to downgrade information that indicates in that way because we hate Donald Trump so much and he hates the Chinese and it's bad to hate the Chinese, etc.
So they were basically skewing, another word would be lying and changing their an analysis.
And the inspector general assaulted them for this.
It is still my belief that that's what happened.
The scientists voted at the CIA to say it came from the lab.
They were overruled by I want you to explain this.
Because you have a whistleblower from the CIA saying that the scientific committee that they commissioned to look into the origins of the virus, they voted six to one that it came from the Wuhan lab, and then you could take it to the next level, which is they were overruled by superiors at the CIA people that weren't looking into it.
And the reason we know this is from the whistleblower, but the whistleblowers also says it was a dispute.
So the scientists that voted six to one disputed their superiors uh decision.
And so an omnibudsman, which I guess is uh like a traffic cop or a referee came involved, and there was an official complaint by the scientist saying, hey, we've been overruled, but we don't understand why, it's just politics.
And uh the ombudsman ultimately sided with the superiors.
But my question is, was Fauci meeting with those superiors?
Does Fauci meet with the CIA director?
We know that after nine eleven, Fauci's budget grew exponentially as he became more involved with bioweapons.
So we think there's a lot going on in the classified area, but we can't even get them to give us the non-classified area.
We can't get them to give us the argumentation for why the research in Wuhan was classified by Anthony Fauci as not being gain of function, even though that research led to uh, you know, basically the release of a pandemic, uh, he still maintains that's not gain of function, and that to me is just an out and out lie.
All right.
So we we go through all of this.
Why would they not keep a record?
Now, I've been to Langley twice in my life.
I assume you've been there.
And by the way, when you go there you feel like you're walking right into the set of a Jason Bourne movie.
But you've been there.
And it's actually cool, but it's also sad because you see oh, you know, the names of of people that have given their lives to the country, and and I spent quite a bit of time looking at that uh on one of the occasions when I was there.
And so my my question to you is why would they have any involvement in this at all?
And why would they think they should be overruling uh uh scient the scientific com committee and and why would the meetings of with Dr. Fauci not be on the record?
I'm sure there's a record of the two interviews that I did with people at the CIA.
See, there has to be a public accounting of this, and uh there is a house committee looking at this.
These are some of the questions they need to be asking of Anthony Fauci.
How many trips did you make?
Are you recorded and checked in as a visitor?
Did you discuss the scientific vote that was a vote, and did you know that it initially the vote was six to one that this came from the Wuhan lab?
I think he knows all of that.
From the very beginning, from February first, maybe January thirty first of twenty twenty.
The information was coming in all indicated that this came from a lab.
They knew early on.
They knew they had funded it, and they knew it in all likelihood came from the lab, but they early on changed people's position and began writing letters and began writing inflammatory articles.
Francis Collins is sending notes to Anthony Fauci saying, take these guys down, these uh epidemiologists, Martin Caldor from Harvard, they're saying take him down, ruin his reputation, trash him wherever you can.
These are the leading scientists for the government.
Anthony Fauci and Francie Collins who want to wear halos around as if they're always trying to help people.
They were in private trying to trash people that they disagreed with, but they're also trying to promote a theory where they would escape blame for the pandemic.
They won't promote a theory that came from animals.
Everything.
Well, well, that's what I'm gonna say.
They they the wet market argument you're just saying was a flat out lie that they knew it was a flat-out lie.
Yeah, and the reason it's a lie is because when uh virus comes about in the very beginning, it tries many times to infect humans.
So it might infect a hundred humans until it finds a human where it accidentally mutates in that human to become more infectious to other humans.
The first ninety-nine times it doesn't spread because it hasn't mutated enough.
So what you have is many different genetic strains in the very beginning of a virus that comes from animals, and it's not very infectious.
And over a year or two, it'll gradually become more.
This one began with one single lineage, and so it had homogeneity and it it always it seemed to be one one lineage, one kind of genetic character.
And because of that, people look at that and say, Well, wow, that means it came from a single source, like a lab.
If it came from animals, the people who handed the handled the animals have antibodies to the virus more than the general public.
That's what happened in 2003, but it didn't happen this time.
In 2003, they found an animal, they found a civet, a civet cat, and they had signs of the virus more so than any other animals.
They didn't find any of this this time.
There's no evidence pointing towards a natural spread, but I can give you probably two dozen points that argue for a a laboratory origin.
Quick break more with Senator Rampall on the other side.
His book Deception, The Great COVID Coverup, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and bookstores around the country.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional task.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

Alright, we continue with Kentucky Senator, Medical Doctor Ram Paul is with us.
His book is Deception, The Great COVID cover-up.
Let me ask you and change gears here and ask you the question about uh whether or not you'll be joining the likes of Ted Cruz and Mike Lee on the issue uh next week when the House brings over articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate and bring all business to a halt unless they take it up.
Yeah, without question, when an impeachment comes over from the House with a majority of people voting for it, uh should be treated with seriousness.
You know, the Democrats have used this in the last process, and they made the process more frivolous, but it should be treated with seriousness, and uh there should be a trial, there should be everyone sworn in, and we should hear the arguments on both sides of this.
My understanding is that Schumer's gonna just try to vote to dismiss it with no argumentation, no debate on either side.
I think that's wrong, and I think that that's a a big mistake for him to try to do that.
Do you think there are enough Republicans to stop it?
Well, you can't stop them from dismissing it.
They have a majority of the vote, so they'll get that.
But 41 senators can bring the Senate to a halt indefinitely.
And this is the problem, and people don't realize this.
I complain about this all the time with spending and budget.
We have the majority of the House, and we have 41 in the Senate.
That is enough to negotiate spending cuts and have the power of the purse.
We don't do any of it.
Forty-one of us can stop any legislation.
No legislation can go through without 41 Republicans if we all oppose it.
The problem is five to ten, fifteen on a good day, and we've got thirty to thirty-five that'll vote with McConnell for whatever he wants to push through.
More spending, more debt, more money for Ukraine, McConnell will get it through.
Um, and that's sort of the problem.
But there are fighters, uh, Mike Lee among them is one of the one of the best.
And so we've got you know, we've got to have more.
More of us standing up and saying ups enough, we're not gonna let you do anything unless there's a discussion.
They would have they should have to talk to you about every bill.
Every bill should be a negotiated settlement with us.
And uh almost none of the bills are.
It's sad.
And you know what, you're right.
We should be balancing our budget, we should be securing our borders, and we should use the the power and every um legislative tool available and and every process available to stop whatever they're gonna try and do otherwise.
Rand Paul, anyway, uh remind people that your book is phenomenal, and you need to get a copy of it.
It's called Deception, the Great COVID cover up.
Uh, it's on Amazon.com.
We have a link on Hannity.com.
Sir, thanks for being with us.
Thanks, Sean.
I know the world is is obsessed um to talk about and I guess many in many ways relitigate the O. J. Simpson case.
And it look, it did captivate the nation.
And it captivated me at the time.
And we talked at length about it.
And I've had a chance to interview many of the players involved in it uh over the years.
Uh and we'll do some of it on on Hannity tonight.
Um, but this is the moment when O.J. Simpson was found not guilty.
All right, Mr. Car Mr. Uh Simpson, would you please stand and face the jury?
This is Robinson.
Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
In the matter of the people of the state of California versus Orenthal Jane Simpson, case number BA097-211.
We the jury in the above entitled action find the defendant orn Thail Jane Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder in violation of penal cult section one eighty-seven, a a felony upon Nicole Brown Simpson, a human being as charged in count one of the information.
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles in the matter of the people of the State of California versus Oranthal James Simpson.
We the jury in the above and titled action find the defendant or anthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder in violation of penal code section one eighty-seven A, a felony upon Ronald Lyle Goldman, a human being as charged in count two of the information.
We the jury in the above and titled action further find the special circumstance that the defendant Orthal James Simpson has in this case been convicted of at least one crime of murder of the first degree and one or more crimes of murder of the first and or second degree to be not true.
Signed this second day of October 1995, jury 230.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is this your verdict?
so say you once, so say you all.
Yes.
All right, Councilor, Mr. Simpson, would you be seated, please?
Now, do I think that this was a case of jury nullification, as many others suspected?
Yeah, I kind of do believe that.
And uh do I think that the evidence was pretty overwhelming and and frankly, I you know, I I I what do you say?
Incontrovertible evidence.
I just think it was there.
But there's still people to this day, and we have Leo 2.0 Torrell on Leo was friends with OJ back in the day.
Lindy, you probably don't know this.
Many of the reasons that he what Leo one point oh would rip out his uh earpiece and rip off his microphone and walk off the set of my show is because of me asking him, how's your friend OJ doing?
Is he looking for the real killers on the golf course today?
And he gets he don't go there, don't go there.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
That's how he started coming on your show.
Oh, it was uh I there are more instances, and I remember both you and him colluded against me, and we had a vote on Hannity Doctor.
This is a fake news story and a strange pivot.
You need to accept the fact that you lost the code.
Okay, but a part of it was whether I should remind people of these moments when Leo 1.0 would rip off his microphone, rip out his earpiece, and just walk off the show and we'd be showing an empty chair.
But I remember those instances and obviously been here a long time, so I've seen a lot of them and booked him when he's hung up on the radio show and all the things.
I mean, he doesn't do that anymore, obviously.
But that the first time he was on your show was because of O.J. That's when he started coming on.
I don't remember if it was because of that, but uh when OJ happened, he was He was on a lot, yeah.
He w well he was a friend of us.
And said but I could never get him to answer the question whether or not he thought that OJ was guilty.
Now, he just happens to be booked on Hannity tonight.
Also Alan Dershowitz was part of the defense team.
Remember Bob Shapiro I do remember that.
Yeah.
Uh the great one F. Lee Levin.
Uh then you had Johnny Cochrane.
I mean, both Bailey and Cochrane, you know, they they both have passed away.
And now today OJ passes away.
Has my opinion on the case changed?
No.
Do I believe he was guilty?
Yes.
Though I think what happened to him in Vegas was overkilled to basically punish him for this issue?
Yes.
I really believe that too.
But you know, the ultimate jury verdict has now been rendered.
And that's in the afterlife.
Uh all right, let's get to our phones.
800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh Let us say hi to Scott in California.
Scott, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Thanks, uh, Sean for taking my call, and thank you for helping Donald Trump get elected in 2016, sir.
Well, I I I don't know.
I try to do my best.
I'm very outspoken about where I stand.
I don't hide my opinions, and the rest of the media mob calls themselves journalists, and they're liberal leftist radical talk show hosts on the left.
But you know, we're pretty honest and up front here.
I appreciate you.
But uh I thought I've been following Donald Trump's printists and I've also been following Kerry Lake in 2020.
And there's only one person that knows who his VP is going to be.
And I hope he's listening.
Kerry, like, 100% should be his VP because we've got to win in 2028.
She's presidential.
She's high energy.
They work good together.
She connects with the audience.
She connects with the voters.
She knows how to handle the media.
And I think there is no other choice for me.
She needs to be on the ticket.
Look, everybody has very, very passionate feelings about who they're selecting.
Now, she's running for the Senate.
And I would argue that probably she would better serve the people of Arizona in that position now.
And whatever other maybe political ambition she has down the road can come out and give her an opportunity to get some political seasoning in that sense.
But you know, I hope she wins out in Arizona.
I am not freaking out like everybody else over this decision on abortion by the Arizona Supreme Court.
Uh later in the program today, we'll talk to the former AG of of Arizona, and that's uh Bernovich.
And as long as Republicans and Democrats, you know, create some consensus.
I think they will so resolve this issue of this, you know, civil war error law that they have now reinstituted in Arizona, and that everybody's panic is gonna have been for nothing.
But that's my guess.
We'll see.
Yes, it takes time.
I would say probably by sometime next week it'll be resolved.
I'll ask uh the your former attorney general later.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I did love this part.
I meant to play this earlier.
Uh over at Liberal Joe, Mika Brzezinski just, you know, the the report of high inflation numbers.
Yeah, after Clyburn warned of as Kleiber was in the at the point of saying this is all disinformation, none of this is true.
Hang on, we've got some breaking news.
And yeah, oh, the the new inflation numbers have come out for March, and uh oh, it's up three and a half percent from last year, year over year.
Whoopsie Daisy, listen to this.
So what we've got to do is make sure that people see the policies of the Biden administration, how they affect their everyday lives, and get them to see in his policies that which is real, not what they may hear on social media.
One of the focus group people talked about social media and the misrepresentation, disinformation, all of those things are out there, and that's the battle that we have to fight, and we've got to do a better job of fighting it more effectively.
So I'll validate that.
I think the disinformation out there is um distorting the entire process.
I think social media doesn't help, but there's also a lack of validation that these voters feel.
And I'm gonna bring in Andrew Rossorkin right now because we just got breaking news.
Uh the consumer price index increased at a faster than expected pace last month.
A signal that inflation remains stubbornly hot.
All right.
You just can't make that up.
Not a great moment for James Clyburn of South Carolina.
All right, quick break, right back to our phones.
800-941 Sean is our number.
All right, back to our physique phones.
800-941 Sean is our toll-free Telephone number.
Uh let us say hi to Amy is in the not so free state of New York.
Uh Amy, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you very much for taking my call.
I I really missed you in New York.
We've gone to the studio on many occasions to see you.
Oh, did you have a fun time when we do we're doing the audience shows up there?
Oh, I loved it.
I have so many footballs, it's unbelievable.
We had a good time throwing around the footballs.
Well, maybe I'll come back and do just one show.
I hope maybe you know, I I I want to, but I've got like an army of accountants and lawyers telling me that I should be up in New York as little as possible for throughout the entire year, and definitely not on work days.
That's what they tell me.
But they also told me for years that I should no matter what, I can't I whatever you do, don't die in New York.
I'm like, okay, I'm gonna talk to God about that.
And it looks like God's winning, thank God.
He heard my prayer.
Yes.
Sean, I'm calling today because I'm very upset um with Mr. Biden about the student loan forgiveness program that he's pushing.
Um the Supreme Court vetoed that.
He's continuing his campaign on that.
I I don't understand why he wants to put another debit of five hundred billion dollars on the American people.
I'll tell you why.
He's losing his entire base and every poll it's showing up.
The coalition that represents the Democratic Party base is African Americans, Hispanic Americans, suburban women, young people, and this is his way of of saying to young people, vote for me.
I'll give I'll I'll I'll give you all your money for college and graduate school for free, and I'll take it from all these other Americans, including people that work hard in the trades that didn't go to college.
I'm gonna take their money and they'll pay for your graduate degree so you can teach sociology and indoctrinate kids at colleges around the country.
Uh makes no sense.
Uh to me, it's nothing but a vote buying scheme on his part in an election year.
Mm-hmm.
Well and a lawless wanted that by defying the Supreme Court.
Right.
My son um was at college age, and we said to him, if you go to a state school, we will pay full tuition because my husband and I, we work very hard.
We said, we will pay for your tuition.
If you choose to go to out of state college, you will then have to take a loan for the remaining balance.
And once you sign on the guided line for a loan, it's your responsibility and only your responsibility to pay this loan back.
And that's it.
That's the way it should be.
I mean, why we've got into a mindset that we think that we are entitled for other people to pay back our loans.
Look, I paid the I never finished college.
And when I went to college, every every credit I ever had and took, and I and I went to three different places over the course of the years, and I stopped going to different colleges at times simply because I ran out of money.
I did take out one student loan, and for ten years I paid back fifty-eight dollars and five cents for every month of those those ten years.
I paid it all back by myself.
In the early years, I really didn't have the extra money to pay, but I had to pay it.
So I found a way, just like I found a way to pay for my rent.
I never asked my parents for a penny.
And I was financially independent pretty much since I was a kid.
And you know what?
I I think it was overall a great experience for me.
I think it made me stronger, tougher.
I think it made me more independent, more resourceful.
And, you know, like uh there's certain things that I could give my kids that I said like, no, I'm not giving you that.
No, if you want to go earn it.
No, I I mean my my daughter asked for something the other day, and I'm I'm pretty lenient with my kids and probably a little, you know, at times maybe spoil them a little more than I should.
I said, sweetheart, I love you.
No.
Absolutely not.
And she goes, but Dad, I'm like, no, but dad.
If you want it bad enough, go work hard and you you'll earn your way.
And you know, she she she understood.
My son understands.
Anyway, appreciate the good call.
800-94-1 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
