Only 72% of Democrats are calling President Biden's presidency a success. That's definitely not a good number for the President. CBS is reporting that nearly all voters feel the economy is failing. November couldn't get here fast enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| All right, 189 days to go, and we're getting there. | |
| I told you it's going to fly by. | |
| It's flying by. | |
| Glad you're with us. | |
| Thank you, Scott Shannon. | |
| 800-941 Shauna's on number. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program today, uh, well, you know what it's it's it's it's a new day, same old story. | |
| You got psycho students all over the country uh out there protesting. | |
| Now the deadline has passed uh at an arrest, by the way, in Austin are being made at the college there, but the protest the deadline is passed to Columbia, but nothing's gonna happen. | |
| Uh I would assume you look at the people that they're actually negotiating with, it's you can't even make up how insane this is, and it's happening sadly all around the country, and now it's becoming a big issue in the campaign. | |
| I mean, you know, we we we we're in a situation where the lack of moral clarity is chilling. | |
| You know, Israel's concerned there's a group called the ICC, it's the International Criminal Court, America's not a part of it. | |
| Anyway, that they want to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and other top officials over charges related to their defense uh after October 7th. | |
| You want to talk about an upside down world? | |
| That that's an upside down world. | |
| Um, and and don't think it's not going to happen. | |
| Now, I was actually pleasantly surprised today. | |
| I oh, I get in Florida, believe it or not, the New York Post, uh, I get a hardcover edition, and there was a paid advertisement paid for by the 10-7 coalition. | |
| I don't know the group, but it had information in there that I've been saying, and I'm glad somebody else picked up on it. | |
| The October 7th Hamas attack scaled to the size of the U.S. would have resulted in 8,000 Americans taken hostage out of the country, 40,000 Americans slaughtered in a single day, thousands uh tortured, hum uh uh mutilated, beheaded, burned alive. | |
| You could add rape to it. | |
| Um, and you know, they actually have a website if you want to see. | |
| I've seen 49 minutes of this, and I'm not allowed to show it, but there is a lot of tape available of a lot of these, you know, evil atrocities because believe it or not, the terror group Hamas wanted to chronicle their own crimes against humanity. | |
| Anyway, they have 60 seconds of Hamas uh cruelty. | |
| The website they give out in this paid advertisement is Hamasterror.com. | |
| Seventy-one percent of Palestinians, this was the poll I've been telling you about, support the the October seventh attack in Israel, although, you know, others are sick and tired of it. | |
| Um, but you know, well, you you gotta watch what happens with this criminal court. | |
| Uh let me give you an example. | |
| For example, Great Britain is a member of the ICC, the International Criminal Court. | |
| Okay, so they issue an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Netanyahu, Netanyahu, he'll never go visit Great Britain again. | |
| And and how could you be so how could you have such moral blindness if you are taking the victims of terror, what would have been 8,000 Americans in a day taken hostage, and 40,000 Americans killed based on a per capita basis, the equivalent of and and how can you how come you blame the victim? | |
| Because that's what this court would do. | |
| And you know, where are Democrats? | |
| Where's Chuck Schumer? | |
| You know, Chuck Schumer who wants to call for elections as Israel's fighting their war against terrorism. | |
| You know, the court would accuse senior government figures of pursuing an excessively harsh military response. | |
| Well, why have they allowed Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad and ISIS, you know, and and the Hootie rebels and others to do all the things that they have done. | |
| And I'll tell you, it even gets worse. | |
| And if you think that the backstabbing of Joe Biden uh on Israel, it's it's all been done for political expediency. | |
| He's watching these protests all around the country in these campuses. | |
| He sees it, and he wants those votes. | |
| And he really got triggered after the Democratic presidential primary in Michigan. | |
| And that's when Joe Biden lost 18.9% of the Democratic primary voters uh to uncommitted, over a hundred thousand votes, and he sees the state of Michigan slipping away from him. | |
| But now the AP is reporting that the U.S. is expected to block aid to uh the IDF, and they're gonna use what's called the Leahy law to do it. | |
| Now it refers to two statutory provisions that would prohibit the U.S. government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights. | |
| What now we're not going to help Israel in their war on terror? | |
| This is Joe Biden's legacy abandoning the war against radical terrorists? | |
| I mean just look at this new axis of evil. | |
| He while he simultaneously is shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline in America, he's giving a waiver to Vladimir Putin to continue and finish the Nord Stream two pipeline to make him rich, which enables him to invade a country like Ukraine and kill innocent men, women and children. | |
| Gee, that's brilliant. | |
| And then drag America into a proxy war costing us billions and billions and billions of dollars. | |
| And what does Biden do with China? | |
| Well China, he's been great to China. | |
| They can fly their spy balloon, have no consequences for that, no consequences for COVID, no consequences when their fighter jets are making hostile maneuvers against American fighter jets in international airspace or when then when their Navy are making aggressive maneuvers in international water waves against our Navy, nothing happens. | |
| Forget about intellectual property theft forget about unfair trade practices that's small ball. | |
| The guy that made the mullah in Iran rich the number one state sponsor of terror rich is Joe Biden because he wouldn't enforce the sanctions forbidding them to sell oil on the world market. | |
| He even took it a step further in March of twenty one by starting to import Iranian oil into the United States and he's continued ever since he wants the price of oil down but he doesn't want to drill for it here. | |
| Well what's the difference if you rape and pillage uh Mother Earth as they say on the left and drill for oil if it does it matter where you do it I guess to Joe Biden it does. | |
| He just doesn't want to get his base angry. | |
| His base is now the lunatics that are on these college campuses here. | |
| And Biden of course this weekend again pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu to do anything but win his war against radical terrorists what would America do what would you want your country to do if 8,000 Americans were taken hostage out of our country what would you want this country to do what would you expect your leaders to do if 40,000 | |
| Americans were slaughtered in a single day and you had videotapes of mutilation beheading people being burned alive including young children, women being raped what would you want your country to do? | |
| What would you expect us to do? | |
| You would expect us to go after the people responsible it's that simple otherwise you're just going to embolden these enemies to go further with Iran the policies of appeasement even went further Joe Biden signs a waiver of the sanctions allows Iraq to hand over $10 billion for electricity. | |
| He goes into a hostage ransom deal with the Iranians he wanted to give six billion to the Iranian mules all that has done is is allowed them to continue their nuclear program says the Iranian mules are now speeding up their nuclear weapons program, | |
| which I'm not surprised considering how deep into Iranian territory the Israelis were able to easily penetrate when they had their response against the rockets being fired into Israel. | |
| By the way Hamas and their sexual violence on October 7th is revealed in a new documentary I've not seen it yet it's called Screams before silence spotlighting the mass sexual violence you know do these these you know these little brats not you know privileged students that want you to pay off their student loans at all these universities that are that are there protesting? | |
| Do they even know what radical Islamists believe in terms of how they they treat women in a lot of these countries do they even understand what Sharia law is they not understand they're so pro-woke and and LGBTQ rights do you know that they kill and they murder people if they're gay lesbian they They throw them off the tops of roofs and they murder them. | |
| Anyone ever asking these students what they know about it? | |
| I mean, you had a George Washington University. | |
| We told you about this on Friday, a sign that says the final solution. | |
| They're quoting Hitler for crying out loud. | |
| Anyway, so Columbia students are defying the deadline and their encampment stays intact. | |
| And, you know, then we learn the New York Post had an article today about, well, who are these people that they're actually negotiating with? | |
| Or turns out they're all radicals. | |
| The anti-Israel tent encampment at Columbia, again, it just passed the deadline pass for them to leave. | |
| And not only did nobody leave, more people are joining in. | |
| But anyway, it's being led, I'm reading from the New York Post today. | |
| Anyway, that the anti-Israel tent encampment of Columbia is being led by a cohort of controversial student leaders, some of who express solidarity with Hamas and say Zionists don't deserve to live. | |
| And then it goes on to describe those four people. | |
| And you know, wait, it's okay to have on a college campus. | |
| God forbid you use the wrong pronoun, you'll probably be expelled. | |
| But you can have somebody that has a sign that says the final solution is the goal, or that people writing in Columbia on the sidewalk from the river to the sea. | |
| Do they even know what it means? | |
| You know, you have protesters at Havid raising or moving the American flag and raising the Palestinian flag. | |
| Columbia students, as we speak, celebrating as school officials promised no lockdown or evictions, even though the deadline just passed. | |
| You know, anti-israel protests have reignited outside the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. | |
| Cal Poly Humboldt closed their campus for the rest of the cement semester because anti-Israeli protesters are occupying buildings there. | |
| Things have heated up again on the campus of Yale University, where these protesters have erected tents on Yale's uh cross-campus green, according to the Daily News, the Yale Daily News. | |
| You have the Bloomington mayors standing with anti-Israel protesters calling on police to use de-escalation tactics. | |
| Oh, let's bring in the social workers. | |
| Let's, you know, put that right up there with the genius of no bail laws and defund and demantle police departments. | |
| You have fights breaking out. | |
| This was at UCLA, they're playing the Star Spangled Banner, and fights break out between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters. | |
| At GWU, you have students standing up to anti-Israeli uh protesters warning faculty or indoctrinating kids with lies and hatred. | |
| Jewish students at the University of Texas are now being removed as we speak. | |
| It's on Fox. | |
| They're escalating anti-Semitism is spiraling into quote Jew hatred. | |
| Multiple students at UTE Austin said that they were approached and told to go back to Germany. | |
| What the hell is going on in our country? | |
| Green presidential candidate Jill Stein among a hundred arrested protesting at Washington University. | |
| College protesters want amnesty as they await consequences. | |
| But you know, look at the professors that we told you about last week after the October 7th terrorist attacks, though those very same professors were out there celebrating the death of innocent men, women, and children. | |
| The beheadings that took place, the people being burned alive, people being raped, people being taken hostage. | |
| Again, it would be the equivalent of 40,000 Americans killed in a single day. | |
| It would be the equivalent of 8,000 Americans taken out of the country and taken hostage. | |
| And this this is now school for kids. | |
| You gotta be killed, you gotta be kidding me. | |
| Gallup, nearly two-thirds of Republicans uh still back Israel. | |
| Only 18% of Democrats do. | |
| This is a terrorist organization. | |
| This was the worst terror attack in their history. | |
| Where is your moral compass? | |
| I'm not saying America should do anything. | |
| Just at least offer support for the people to win their war against those people that are slaughtering them. | |
| Morehouse College now under pressure to cancel Joe Biden's commencement address in large part because of this issue. | |
| They say that as Biden's support of Israel, as tepid as it is, is too much. | |
| Some are saying they will not be seen next to the Democratic president. | |
| So it doesn't matter that he's stabbing Israel in the back. | |
| That's still not enough of these crazy people. | |
| Later on, we'll play for you Congresswoman Omar saying that Jewish students should be protected if they are anti genocide or pro genocide. | |
| What? | |
| Progenocide. | |
| This is the modern day woke, politically correct left. | |
| Bernie Sanders asked about it and won't give a direct answer about what Congresswoman Omar says. | |
| Just can't make these times up. | |
| It's sick. | |
| It's ugly. | |
| It's twisted. | |
| And it's now having an impact on the election. | |
| We'll go over some of these poll numbers that came out over the weekend, CNN, Bloomberg, others, and we'll get to some of your calls as well. | |
| 800 941 Shawn is our number. | |
| 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 sass. | |
| 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. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |

| That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |

| 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. | |
| Kind of hard to wrap your brain around the things that we're living through right now, isn't it? | |
| I mean, you got the pro Hamas organization leading the Ten City talks with the University of Columbia University. | |
| I mean, have they really lost all sense of moral clarity? | |
| Because it certainly seems like they all have. | |
| I mean, this has gone nuts. | |
| And all I see with Joe Biden is that Joe Biden, more than anything else, he doesn't want to lose any votes. | |
| So he tries to say as little as he as he can and pressure Israel to do everything but what he should be supporting. | |
| And that is supporting their right to self-determination, self-defense, supporting them after this terrorist attack, winning their war on terror. | |
| Now, I haven't mentioned any American boots on the ground. | |
| They're not asking for that. | |
| But they shouldn't have a knife put in their back and tw and twisted by an American president either. | |
| But this president cares more about his own blind you know political ambition than he does about standing up for what is morally right and just it's that simple and fundamental. | |
| Terrorism is evil. | |
| It's not complicated. | |
| Continuing to build the foundation for conservative victory. | |
| Victory. | |
| Now back to the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Music. | |
| Music. | |
| I know I'm here. | |
| 25 to the top of the hour, toll free on numbers 800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the Were you guys worried? | |
| We are a consummate professional. | |
| We never were. | |
| Steven, you never worked. | |
| By the way, Linda would just could take over and just make it the Linda McLaughlin show. | |
| I would never call it the Linda McLaughlin show. | |
| I was about to bless that. | |
| That old tape of the Sean Hannity is in the roaming the halls. | |
| Yes. | |
| By the way, do we still have that? | |
| This I did have a bad habit. | |
| That's from the Stanger days. | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| I I've had a bad habit of during commercial breaks going out talking to people, and I I would lose track of time. | |
| Talk shows never stops talking. | |
| That's the problem. | |
| You know who's worse than you? | |
| Who? | |
| Larry Cudlow. | |
| Oh, really? | |
| Larry Cudlow was the first guy I ever worked for in radio on Saturday mornings. | |
| And he used to go down for smoke breaks and come back up. | |
| And the music would be playing. | |
| We'd be literally 10 seconds, five seconds, three seconds. | |
| There'd be Larry running down that WABC Hall. | |
| It was crazy. | |
| That's pretty darn funny. | |
| Um not good poll numbers for Joe. | |
| We told you last week the Bloomberg Morning Morning Console poll. | |
| Uh we got CNN numbers we're going to share with you. | |
| We got Gallup numbers we're going to share with you. | |
| None of them are good for Joe Biden. | |
| Uh and it is fascinating. | |
| Donald Trump's sitting in a courtroom every day, and Joe Biden talking about Uncle Bosey being eaten by cannibals and never has a clean day on the campaign trail. | |
| Although the media was so they wanted to say, oh, he's so great at the White House Correspondence Dinner. | |
| And let the record show my record of never going to a White House correspondence dinner remains intact. | |
| Now my 28th year in Fox. | |
| Started my radio career in 1987. | |
| And I've not had to, I've never gone to one. | |
| And for a good ten years, Fox was putting heavy pressure on me to go. | |
| And Linda, I just I don't know why. | |
| Just the mere thought of it. | |
| I started getting sick. | |
| I think you should go, but only if you get to sit at the day and ask questions. | |
| Oh, no, I would I tell you what I would do. | |
| I'd go out, I'd be funnier than the guy that they had from Saturday Night Live. | |
| I didn't think it was funny at all. | |
| I mean, it's it's so milk toast. | |
| This is what's happened to all comedy. | |
| You know what was saying this recently in an interview is Cherry Seinfeld. | |
| The reason people like Dave Chappell and Chris Rock and a lot of these great comedians are so popular right now more than ever, is because they don't have the same lines. | |
| And Seinfeld was making the case. | |
| We don't have comedy shows like Seinfeld. | |
| And then he talked about how Larry David, curb your enthusiasm, was basically grandfathered in and he kind of got a pass. | |
| But you could you could not make an all in the family today. | |
| You probably couldn't even make a you know Larry David show anymore. | |
| You couldn't even have a lot of people. | |
| You couldn't make the office, you know, to Jason's point, you couldn't make married with children. | |
| You can't do anything. | |
| You know, part of what's funny about being funny is the truth. | |
| You know, the authenticity of it. | |
| You know, that's what's funny. | |
| And now everybody, um Katie and I were just talking about how easily offended people are. | |
| She's much more sensitive and aware than I am. | |
| I could give her a rip how anybody feels. | |
| And Katie's like, uh, I don't know, that's on the line. | |
| You know, and I'm just like, you know what, man, I'm so sick of it. | |
| You're offended about being offended. | |
| I'm just over it. | |
| Well, that's what makes this whole thing with the kids in school that much more uh, you know, unbelievable to me. | |
| These these kids are triggered if you use the wrong pronoun. | |
| God forbid anybody said one thing even remotely politically incorrect about anybody, any background, any group, unless of course you're an African American conservative or you're Jewish. | |
| You know, there are exceptions to this rule. | |
| Uh their offensive nature is not as triggered if it's a cause celeb. | |
| It's so disgusting. | |
| Want to remind you, Mike Lindell, MyPillow, they don't have the support of big box stores anymore. | |

| It's awful. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| Hennedy show. | |
| This goes on for another. | |
| He's unavailable for broadcast comment at this time. | |
| He's roaming the halls of the broadcast complex. | |
| Hey, Hannity, please get your butt back in the studio. | |
| Mr. Hannity will return in a moment. | |
| By the way, do you remember they would get on the intercom system? | |
| Oh, trust me, I know. | |
| Oh man. | |
| That does bring back fun memories. | |
| Great days. | |
| Oh my God, so much better than today. | |
| Gallup poll. | |
| Now, Joe Biden has this is blistering. | |
| He is the least popular president in the last 70 years running for re-election, even below Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter. | |
| He now notched a dismal 38% positive rating, according to Galv approval rating. | |
| Now, for example, I'll run down the list running for re-election. | |
| Eisenhower, 56 had 73%. | |
| Reagan 84%, 54%. | |
| Nixon 53% and 72 when he ran for re-election. | |
| Clinton had 53%. | |
| George W. Bush in 2004 had 51%. | |
| Jimmy Carter had 47%. | |
| And remember, he lost in 1980. | |
| Trump had 46%. | |
| And he didn't become president a second time in 2020. | |
| Obama did win. | |
| He had 45%, and he was able to pull it off. | |
| I would argue Mitt Romney handed that to him in 2012 because he didn't show up for the last two debates. | |
| George Herbert Walker Bush in 92 was at 41%. | |
| Joe Biden is at 38%. | |
| Yikes. | |
| Not good news. | |
| This is on top of the Bloomberg poll that came out last week. | |
| The Bloomberg Morning Console poll had Trump winning in all the swing states. | |
| Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. | |
| He was down by a point or two in Michigan, which I don't really buy. | |
| I think in Michigan, I think that's a state that is definitely one that Trump can pick off and one that he would need to win. | |
| And that also included Arizona and Nevada, where he's up by 10, I think, in Nevada. | |
| I'm like, holy moly. | |
| That's amazing. | |
| Another poll that has come out, CBS poll finding voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. | |
| They're preferring the Trump years. | |
| I'll give you more details on that in a second. | |
| But the CNN poll is just devastating. | |
| Nearly two-thirds of registered voters in this case consider Joe Biden's presidency a failure with Donald Trump to continuing to hold a comfortable six-point lead, 4943. | |
| And I mean, that's that's a pretty amazing number with 189 days outside of election day. | |
| Now, does that mean this is in the bag? | |
| No, it's not. | |
| And I want to remind everybody, I've not I've not been saying it up to this point, but I will say it now. | |
| We all thought we were gonna have a red wave in 2022. | |
| Republicans, you better get your act together on abortion. | |
| You better understand where the electorate is. | |
| Okay, well, I'm not gonna stop. | |
| And you better understand voting early, voting by mail. | |
| You got to get over your reluctance, your resistance. | |
| And lastly, Republicans, I know the RNC is working on legal ballot harvesting to match efforts of the Democratic Party. | |
| I mean, they are so far ahead of Republicans on this, it's frightening. | |
| But when you have two-thirds of American voters think Joe Biden's presidency is a failure, and Donald Trump holding a comfortable lead 4943. | |
| That's that's fake news CNN for crying out loud. | |
| But all these voters saying that Joe's presidency has been a failure, and 61% of voters who are questioned considered Biden's presidency a failure. | |
| Only 39% see it as successful. | |
| I mean, only 73% of Democrats say he's been a success. | |
| 92% of Republicans called Trump Trump's time in office a success. | |
| It was a huge success. | |
| Even with all the drama and all the attacks and all the impeachments, man. | |
| Anyway, so that is a a pretty staggering number for Joe Biden, not a good one. | |
| And this this kind of fits into Tommy Larry and some other people. | |
| I think Clay Travis among them that thinks that Biden is going to be replaced at the end of the day. | |
| I don't know how they pull that off, but it's definitely possible. | |
| Back to the CBS poll for a minute. | |
| And if you look now versus looking back, the percentage of voters by state that say the economy was good. | |
| You know, if you look at right now, the current rating is 38% in Michigan, 38% in Pennsylvania, 42% in Wisconsin. | |
| Looking back during the Trump years, 62 in Michigan, 6238. | |
| Pennsylvania, 6138. | |
| Wisconsin, 6242. | |
| Wow. | |
| And the years after the COVID pandemic, the state of the economy has gotten better. | |
| Only 29% of people of Michigan say yes. | |
| 50% say worse. | |
| 23% in Pennsylvania say were uh better, and 50% say worse. | |
| Wisconsin 25% better, 48% worse. | |
| I mean, it's pretty it's pretty staggering. | |
| Then if you look, who better understands people like you? | |
| All right, a dumb question. | |
| But anyway, in August of 2020, Biden won 4437. | |
| Now Trump is leading 4240. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't think that makes a difference. | |
| Uh, in terms of personal finances and historically, people vote based on peace and prosperity. | |
| Prosperity obviously is the economy. | |
| Well, if you look at if Biden wins, you know, you only 21% of people think you're going to be better off financially. | |
| If Trump wins, people think you'll be 47% better off. | |
| 47% think you'll be better off. | |
| Worse off, 48% of people say they they think if financially they'll be worse off if Biden wins. | |
| It's pretty unbelievable. | |
| And don't forget, immediately in 2025, those Trump tax cuts, they're going to expire. | |
| That's not good. | |
| But anyway, so Trump has widened his lead uh significantly, and Joe Biden has the lowest approval rating in Gallup history over the last seven years of a sitting president running for re-election. | |
| So, I mean, it definitely gives you data. | |
| Now it is interesting because these polls are all taken while Donald Trump is on trial in New York. | |
| Of course, I think most people have figured out that we have a weaponized system of justice. | |
| I think most people now understand what New York is like after everything they went through in the civil trial. | |
| And I think when you look at the statute of limitations having passed on what would have been just a misdemeanor bookkeeping error, and they try to turn this into something that is not, I don't think that strategy's particularly effective anyway. | |
| But we'll talk to Pam Bondi and Horace Cooper about this. | |
| You know, when we had these arguments, oral arguments before the Supreme Court last week, a lot of questions were being raised as it relates to presidential immunity. | |
| But I think that one of the things we overlooked talking about a lot on Friday was U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas asked former President Trump's lawyers about whether they challenged the special counsel, Jack Smith's authority to bring charges against the president. | |
| He said, Did you in this litigation challenge the appointment of the special counsel? | |
| I mean, you know, that runs into a reality that they have you know extraordinary prosecutorial power being exercised by someone that was never nominated by the president or confirmed by the Senate at any time. | |
| Now the Trump attorney said we hadn't raised it yet in this case when this case went up for appeal. | |
| And anyway, so he goes on to talk about Ed Meese, former attorney general, Mark Levin, if you don't know the great one was his chief of staff. | |
| Uh, but he and uh General Mukeze, former attorney general, uh, put a amicus brief forward in this case, two former attorneys generals, and they submitted it to the court, and in it they said those actions, you know, in other words, Mr. Smith does not have the authority to conduct an underlying prosecution. | |
| And those actions can only be taken by persons properly appointed as federal officers to properly created federal offices, and Smith wields tremendous power and effectively answers to no one they wrote. | |
| However, neither Smith nor the position of special counsel under which he purportedly acts meets those criteria. | |
| And that is a serious problem for the rule of law. | |
| Whatever one may think of the conduct of Mr. Smith's prosecution. | |
| And Attorney General Merrick Garland is the one that appointed Smith. | |
| But however, none of the statutes remotely authorized the appointment by the attorney general of a private citizen or government employee to receive extraordinary criminal law enforcement power under the title of the special counsel. | |
| I mean, basically, Justice Thomas was saying, guys, get your act together and and get to this and get to this quickly. | |
| Um, I think some of the other things as it's now beginning to sink in, you know, when Justice Kavanaugh is warning of a vicious cycle of malicious prosecutions that could end the presidency. | |
| I mean, those are powerful statements. | |
| Or Neil Gorsuch uh saying that it didn't matter what the president's motives were. | |
| That's something that courts shouldn't get engaged in. | |
| And then he further goes on to say I'm concerned about future uses of criminal law to target political opponents based on accusations about their motives. | |
| I mean, that was raised by the Trump attorneys in their opening remarks. | |
| Anyway, 800-941, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| We got a lot of ground to cover today. | |
| We'll get to it all. | |
| 800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| All right, when we come back, lawfare weaponization of our justice system. | |
| Donald Trump sits a uh sits in a courtroom and his poll numbers go up. | |
| Joe Biden talks about Uncle Bosey and cannibalism and his poll numbers tank. | |
| You know, it's been six months since the brutal attack by Hamas on our friends, our brothers, our sisters, our allies in Israel. | |
| Now, since then, the attacks on Israel have only increased, especially with Hezbollah in the North. | |
| Now, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're on the ground. | |
| They are addressing all the needs as they come in, and there are many. | |
| Now, your life-saving donation today can help provide a bomb shelter. | |
| Twenty people can fit inside of each mobile bomb shelter, and they're constructed to withstand rocket attacks, and they meet the standards approved by the IDF. | |
| Now, the IFCJ has helped renovate and install nearly 3,000 bomb shelters. | |
| Now the cost of one bomb shelter is $15,000. | |
| The goal for April is five bomb shelters, and we're asking any of you that can give $50. | |
| If 300 listeners give $50, we'll have one new bomb shelter installed. | |
