| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| I don't even know where to begin. | |
| The world's kind of on fire. | |
| We have an election in just 175 days. | |
| Polls looking good for Donald Trump again today. | |
| You've got the convicted liar, Michael Cohn, the star witness. | |
| I mean, uh this is becoming more comical by the hour. | |
| Uh, you know, wall-to-wall, never-ending coverage uh of a case where we don't even know what the actual charges are or the crime is. | |
| And uh on top of that, you have a president that has surrendered in the war on terrorism and has given frankly aid comfort, and he's emboldened uh, you know, terrorists all around the world. | |
| Not not a not a small point. | |
| Uh and and I don't know where to begin. | |
| Anyway, former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich is with us. | |
| Don't forget his podcast, uh, which is phenomenal, and I've actually been a guest on it. | |
| You can find it wherever you get podcasts around you, Newt's World or Newt 360. | |
| Uh, sir, how are you? | |
| I'm doing well, and I think you sort of captured this this amazing time we're in where you've got uh a president who has betrayed one of our strongest allies, and there's no other word for it, what Joe Biden has done to Israel's a pure but it's just a betrayal. | |
| Uh on the other hand, you have uh 85 to 100,000 people going out to Wildwood uh to see Donald Trump, uh, and I think a total repudiation of everything the establishment's trying to do to President Trump. | |
| Uh, you have uh I think growing disgust in the country with the Biden administration and its complete failure. | |
| And of course, uh today's New York Times Siena poll that shows Trump's now ahead in five out of six swing states, and in places like Georgia, he's now up like eleven points. | |
| Uh so something there's a plate tectonic shifting. | |
| You're gonna see it in Europe, where the conservatives are gonna do very well in the parliamentary elections for the European Parliament in June. | |
| Uh, and I think you're gonna see a continued growth of people deciding that left wingism doesn't work, uh, and that being weak doesn't work, and that the world's really dangerous, and we need mature real leadership. | |
| Well, I think that clearly that that is evident. | |
| I really believe, Mr. Speaker, and you're the historian and the professor that we're at an inflection point here as a country. | |
| I don't I don't know what America looks like, God forbid if Joe Biden ever got elected for four more years. | |
| Well, I think it would be a disaster of first order because it would convince every idiot on the left that their hatred of America is legitimate and that they have majority support to hate America. | |
| And what you're actually seeing, which is fascinating, I think, is a slow, steady shift away from the left. | |
| I was just told a few minutes ago, for example, that the University of North Carolina is uh ending its uh diversity and inclusion office uh and uh taking that money to hire more campus police. | |
| Now, I can't imagine a better battle cry to drive the left crazy and close down your DEI office and use the money for more campus police. | |
| Uh, but that's the kind of stuff, you know, uh you begin to see a really fundamental shift as people realize that none of this stuff works. | |
| Uh, and I think we're in probably the most dangerous period since the nineteen thirties. | |
| And in many ways, what Biden just did to Israel is very much like Chamberlain selling out the Czech uh Czechoslovakian Republic in 1938. | |
| I mean, it's it's uh now the truth is that Barack Obama quietly cut off the uh transfer of of uh missiles to Israel while he was president, but what Biden has done is totally different. | |
| I mean, he's drawn a line in the sand and raised the possibility that under his leadership the U.S. would cut off all military aid to Israel and try to genuinely coerce the Israelis, and frankly, it's not gonna work. | |
| There's there's a, by the way, a great story that I think was in the Wall Street Journal about Menachem Begin confronting Biden when Biden was the chairman of the Center Finance Foreign Relations Committee and just saying to him, you know, you can do anything you want to to us. | |
| We didn't survive the Holocaust. | |
| We didn't create Israel. | |
| The actual quote is this don't threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles. | |
| I'm not a Jew with trembling knees. | |
| I'm a proud Jew with 3700 years of civilized history. | |
| Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and others. | |
| Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. | |
| We paid for it. | |
| We fought for it. | |
| We died for it. | |
| We will stand by our principles. | |
| We will defend them, and when necessary, we will die for them again with or without year eight. | |
| That's uh Menachem Bagan Prime Minister of Israel to Joe Biden in a Senate foreign relations meeting in 1982. | |
| And it's clear that Biden has not learned anything. | |
| Well, I mean, it was Bob Gates that said that on every foreign policy issue over the last four decades that Joe Biden has got a gotten them wrong. | |
| Uh and it was Barack Obama who said uh famously that never underestimates Joe's ability to mess or F things up to uh to be very clear. | |
| So we we now find ourselves in a situation where Israel now has been abandoned, and I think this has embolden all of the well, starting with Iran, every terrorist organization around the world, I think it sent a terrible message to our allies. | |
| America is not going to defend the cause of liberty and freedom anymore. | |
| They've abdicated that role on the world stage. | |
| Uh I believe China and Russia and Iran and all of the the most hostile actors in the world have taken note as well. | |
| And I think this is a very precarious situation. | |
| As you know, you get you've got to wonder will will Iran get the nuclear weapons the IAEA now says that they're getting close to getting. | |
| They're actually claiming they have them. | |
| I wouldn't be surprised if Russia or China assisted and helped them. | |
| No, I think there's an axis of evil as George W. Bush put it uh in uh 2001. | |
| Unfortunately, Bush didn't understand what that meant and promptly forgot it. | |
| But he was right. | |
| Uh and I think we have to recognize there are people out there who want to destroy our country. | |
| Uh I mean, I think the one of the one of the most interesting people right now is Chuck Schumer. | |
| Uh, he is the senator for the city which has the largest number of Jewish population in the world, bigger than Tel Aviv, bigger than Jerusalem. | |
| New York City is the the center of Jewish population. | |
| And yet he is so intimidated by the left that he is not standing up for Israel, and he's not doing what needs to get done. | |
| And I I'm really a little surprised. | |
| I think that Biden is so wrong in cutting off military aid to Israel that I would think uh in a healthier world, the Congress on a bipartisan basis would would force him to back down. | |
| I mean, after all, they spent all these months getting the aid money through only to have Biden decide that he wouldn't send it. | |
| Uh and everything Biden said about how vital it was, how important it was, suddenly he's now mad at Bibi Netanyahu. | |
| He doesn't want to send the money. | |
| The truth is, where you and I, I think would disagree totally with Biden, if you don't finish the job with Hamas, if if you do what Biden would do and turn uh Rafah into a terrorist sanctuary city, uh, you're guaranteeing future efforts to destroy Israel. | |
| And this is the moment to encourage the Israelis to get the job done, finish Hamas off, develop a policing system for Gaza that never again allows terrorists to dominate it, which will be frankly dramatically better for the Palestinians. | |
| I mean, they're the people who've been who've been robbed by uh Hamas, it's their money that went to build all of these various tunnels. | |
| Uh a tunnel system as big as the entire London uh underground tunnel system, all built with money stolen from the Palestinian people by Hamas. | |
| So the strategy, if I'm reading an axios correctly of the Democrats, is going to be that, well, uh the the border problem is actually the Republicans because they didn't support our bill in the last year. | |
| And then you go back again to America's standing in the world, and and their attitude is we're just gonna lie and we're just gonna say Republicans are horrible and they're racist And sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and and uh Islamophobic and transphobic and they want dirty air and water and and we want are going to demand you get an electric car. | |
| I mean, how does that work for them? | |
| Well, look, I mean, first of all, they have to lie because if they tell the truth, they might as well go home and quit. | |
| Uh I mean, yeah, you're seeing the results, by the way. | |
| I think part of the reason that both Nevada and Arizona have now shifted so decisively towards Trump is the combination of immigration and crime. | |
| And I I think that there's a very real sense uh that, and and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see New Mexico start moving into play uh because of the combination. | |
| Well, what about New Jersey for crying out loud? | |
| That crowd was insane. | |
| Didn't didn't you and I once do an event at Wildwood years ago? | |
| Did I do an event? | |
| Well, no, we used to do freedom concerts. | |
| Uh that was at Six Flags in New Jersey, and and we had some of the best events ever there. | |
| You were a part of many of them. | |
| You were great, and and uh I I I almost feel like starting them up again, but I can't say that. | |
| I was gonna say, you and I would draw like 15,000. | |
| Uh he drew because five and a hundred thousand people. | |
| You're do you remember the event we did in Georgia? | |
| I mean, we've we packed some stadium, I think it was in Gwyneth. | |
| I mean, it it was crazy. | |
| We have Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy, and I think Leonard Skinner that year was it was a lot of fun. | |
| You were there with us, and we we just had a great time doing them. | |
| Uh, but no, I d I think the only people in New Jersey that can get that those that style crowd would be, let's see, Bruce Springsteen, uh Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, and and add Donald Trump to the list. | |
| I I looked at the crowd, I couldn't believe it. | |
| I mean, I mean, can you imagine you're sitting there in court, the other guys are doing everything they can to lie about you, to defame you, uh, as he points out to keep you in the literally in the cold. | |
| Uh and you go out and you do an event like that that is so dominant that it just washes away everything the left's trying to do. | |
| I mean, is every paradigm off the table this year? | |
| I mean, is it absurd to think that maybe New Jersey could be in play? | |
| No, I think I think look, I'm I am an old-fashioned optimist. | |
| I think by the time people really get done thinking about this, remember, Ronald Reagan beat Jimmy Carter by the largest electoral vote that any incumbent president had ever lost by. | |
| Because all of a sudden people look around and go, particularly if you start thinking about a vote for Biden is probably a vote for Kamala Harris to be president. | |
| I mean, just give us Biden's capabilities. | |
| If you vote for Biden, you're almost certainly voting for Kamala Harris to be president. | |
| The number of people in America willing to do that is, I think, surprisingly small. | |
| It really, really is amazing. | |
| All right, quick break. | |
| More with New Gingrich on the other side, 800, 941 Shaun is our number. | |
| We'll get to your calls next half hour. | |
| Uh, and then we'll be joined at the top of the the final hour with Corey Mills, who's uh taking his impeachment claims to a new level of filing articles of impeachment against Mr. Choca Chuka Chip himself, Joe Biden. | |
| 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. | |

| We continue. | |
| Newt Gingrich is with us, New 360 is podcast. | |
| Now, let's take a worst-case scenario, and Donald Trump's get Donald Trump gets convicted in this New York case. | |
| Does that have any impact on this race? | |
| Yeah, it does. | |
| Because I don't think you can get a fair trial at all in New York or DC or Fulton County, Georgia, for that matter, but does it have an imp and but I don't think those cases will be brought before the election. | |
| But do you think a conviction in this this ridiculous case in New York has any impact on the race? | |
| Well, I only think it'll lead to an effort to get people like uh who who are capable, like Congressman's eldon, uh, to take on the entire corruption of New York, and it may put both New Jersey and New York in play. | |
| I mean, there's a there's a level of sickening corruption going on here that the average person has to think is just profoundly wrong. | |
| Uh and and uh I I think uh I don't I don't think anybody who is for Trump would believe if Trump were convicted in this trial. | |
| And frankly, the witnesses have been so pathetic. | |
| Their arguments have been so dishonest. | |
| The case itself, I mean every independent lawyer who's looked at it has said that the Bragg brought a case that clearly hasn't doesn't exist. | |
| It doesn't exist. | |
| There's there's no law, there's no justification for this. | |
| And I will tell you, weaponization, they they have gone so far overboard that I believe it's boomerang back against them, and I I think they're too dumb to know it yet, but that's what I mean when I say he defies all conventional political gravity on paper. | |
| Nobody would be going through a Donald Trump goes through and watch their poll numbers go higher every time they do it to him. | |
| It just doesn't happen. | |
| If if I would have told you that in the nineties, you would have laughed at me. | |
| Sure. | |
| But uh but I think part of it, I I'm not sure President Trump wants me to say this, but part of it's not Trump. | |
| Part of it is the American people for whom he is a symbol that they are for because they're so pissed off at an establishment that is so corrupt, so dishonest, so left wing, uh, that it infuriates them. | |
| I think you're right. | |
| So they turn to Trump. | |
| I mean, if Trump had a reasonable opposition, he would not have this kind of strength. | |
| But what's happening is they are driving the the left and Biden are driving the American people to Donald Trump. | |
| And he is becoming the symbol of the only alternative strong enough to break the old order. | |
| Wow. | |
| Powerful statement. | |
| Uh anyway, New 360, where you wherever you get your podcast. | |
| Uh and you haven't had me on in a while. | |
| Are you mad at me or something? | |
| What's up with that? | |
| You're so busy. | |
| Uh what do you mean I'm so busy? | |
| When would I ever say no to you? | |
| That's never happening. | |
| Well, it's okay. | |
| But we'll be checking in with Lyndon the next day. | |
| Okay. | |
| I'm just I'm I just noticed I haven't been although last time we did digress into like old wal war stories about our past together, and maybe we didn't even talk about anything substantive. | |
| Uh anyway, Speaker Gingrich, love having you, my friend. | |
| Thank you as always, and uh your insight is keen and your his historical uh prospective second to none. | |
| We appreciate your time as always. | |
| Take care. | |
| Hey. | |
| Bye. | |
| *music* | |

| Happy Monday, 800 941 Sean is on number. | |
| You want to be a part of the program. | |
| If you own a gun, this is a wake-up call on a regular morning. | |
| A U.S. uh army veteran, his name was Brian, attacked by a man with a steel pipe while he was with his family. | |
| Now, despite warnings, Brian was forced to defend himself with his firearms, and in today's Twisted America, he was the one that ended up being charged with first degree murder and put in jail. | |
| Now, Brian remembered that the United States Concealed Carry Association membership that he had, that it included self-defense liability insurance. | |
| He reached out to the USCCA and was immediately connected with a highly skilled legal team. | |
| They got the charges, thankfully dropped, saved him from nothing but financial ruin rune and maybe jail. | |
| And that's why I've been a USCCA member now for nine years, because proving your innocence can destroy your life if you're not prepared. | |
| Now go to their website, Defend Family right now to start your one hundred percent risk-free US C C A membership. | |
| If you sign up, by the way, you're not only going to get self-defense liability insurance, world class training, and for Hannity listeners, by the way, six chances to win the gun of your choice and up to uh hundred and fifty-five bucks uh worth of free bonuses. | |
| Go to their website, learn a lot about self-defense beyond just owning a weapon. | |
| It's defendfamily.com, defend family.com. | |
| Well, last week it was your giggling vice president laughing while discussing women's reproductive health and fallopian tubes. | |
| Listen, can't make it up. | |
| It was a long day. | |
| And the press was there, and I said, Let me just tell you, and you guys are gonna have to be ready for this. | |
| Ready for certain language. | |
| And I said very loudly, ovaries. | |
| Fallopian tubes. | |
| Fallopian tubes. | |
| Right. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Now, over the weekend, uh I mentioned this earlier, uh Kamala Harris speaking at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies, and uh anyway, legislative leadership. | |
| She got the crowd fired up. | |
| She actually dropped the F bomb while urging attendees to break barriers. | |
| So here's the thing about breaking barriers. | |
| Breaking barriers does not mean you start on one side of the barrier, you end up on the other side of the barrier. | |
| And when you break things, well, you get cut and you may bleed, and it's worth it every time, every time she begins. | |
| Anyway, here's what she was talking about. | |
| Breaking barriers. | |
| We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. | |
| Sometimes they won't. | |
| and then you need to kick that door down Excuse my language. | |
| Yes, you're ever so smart giggling VP. | |
| All right, let's get to our busy phones. | |
| I know a lot of you being uh very, very patient here. | |
| Tom, Texas on the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Tom, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Thanks, thanks. | |
| I was just wondering why um Trump won't consider Mike Pompeo uh for his VP. | |
| I'm looking at his CIA director, Harvard Law School graduate, Secretary of State, you know, United States military. | |
| He finished valedictorian at West Point. | |
| He finished first in his class at West Point. | |
| And he was four years tank commander in West Germany. | |
| He's got class all over him. | |
| And and I I'm one guy that's not really into this gender or race card picking people. | |
| That kind of backfired in Georgia, well, Herschel Walker. | |
| And I was just wondering if there's some bad blood between Mike Pompeo and Trump. | |
| What say you? | |
| Uh I say that there's not bad blood, and I'll make a prediction here and now. | |
| If Donald Trump is elected in 175 days, Mike Pompeo is going to play a major role in his administration. | |
| Uh I've known I've known uh uh going back to his congressional days, I've known Congressman Mike Pompeo for a long time. | |
| I've knew him as CIA director. | |
| I've known him as Secretary of State. | |
| I've seen him abroad and m in places like Singapore, Vietnam, Helsinki for crying out loud. | |
| Uh so I know him really, really well. | |
| You're right, smart as a whip. | |
| Uh I think he probably is under consideration for VP. | |
| And I I think he brings a a real sense of, you know, how do you say gravitas? | |
| I don't love the word, but but that would be appropriate for him. | |
| And he's brilliant, and he's, you know, maybe maybe for people that worry about, well, Donald Trump might do it. | |
| Uh which by the way is a good fear for our enemies abroad to have. | |
| Uh he's the guy that kind of brings uh you know steadies the ship a little bit in some people's minds, so it might balance out Trump a little bit. | |
| But uh yeah, I think he's under consideration for a m a major role in the in a next Trump administration, and I hope it happens. | |
| Uh hope Kamala Harris get uh in charge of thirty five hundred nuclear weapons. | |
| No way we can let that happen. | |
| Well, you got a hundred and seventy-five days to tell everybody you know, actually less than that, because early voting, and again, all of this is on Hannity.com, our interactive map. | |
| You find out when registration ends in your state, how to register in your state, you find out when early voting starts, voting by mail, how to do it, all those details available as a public service. | |
| Anyway, Tom, appreciate the call happy Monday to you. | |
| Uh on the same topic with the free state of Florida, John in Florida will stay in Florida. | |
| What's going on, John? | |
| Uh New was talking about all the corruption in this administration and I was wondering what ever happened with the uh tens of millions of dollars that the Biden c uh syndicate has been raking in for children, grandchildren, relatives, friends and why isn't he being impeached? | |
| Well there's still a lot of work to do, number one uh I know there'll be a report certainly if not uh a full report, an interim report coming uh I think the evidence has been overwhelming and incontrovertible. | |
| There's it's you know we know Joe Biden lied when he said he never talked to his son, brother or anybody for that matter about their foreign business deals. | |
| We know that he met with them, many of them. | |
| We know he called in, you know, to a lot of the business meetings. | |
| And then, of course, the big quid pro and quo, which took place, which is Joe going against Obama administration policy, interagency policy, and leveraging the billion dollars that had been approved for loan guarantees for Ukraine, leveraging it, giving the Ukrainian six hours to fire a prosecutor that we now know was looking into Burisma Holdings, | |
| the oil and gas giant in Ukraine of which was paying his son who went on Good Morning America and admitted he had no experience at all whatsoever but was being paid millions of dollars and at a time when he's w uh he was an admitted crack addict. | |
| Uh makes sense to nobody and why why nobody in the mainstream media mob cares we know why because they're political the evidence to me is overwhelming it is incontrovertible and let's see what happens. | |
| They're going to be now Republicans have a problem. | |
| They have a one vote lead in the House. | |
| They don't have a big enough majority and unfortunately for Republicans in the House there are too many rhino weak Republicans that won't go along with the impeachment inquiry. | |
| They think that will hurt their reelection chances and for them it's all about I guess political power and survival and then they're not willing to you know take a stand for what I believe would be the right thing to do. | |
| So we'll talk to Cory Mills at the top of the hour about his impeachment push we'll see. | |
| Back to our busy phones. | |
| Ronda Louisiana next Sean Hannity show Rhonda hi how are you glad you called hey Mr Hannity yeah I wanted to make a little comment about uh the VP and who I think he should pick. | |
| Now I I don't know what the qualifications are for a VP, but I sure would like him to pick one of his children Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka I mean uh i any of 'em um I don't think that's even on the table and probably for good reason for their sake, but I don't uh I just don't think that's gonna happen. | |
| Uh however I mean you know I I mean I'm fond of all of them and I get along great with all of them so you know I have no problem with it. | |
| Would the last flip over if he was to announce Don Jr. as a V I think I think their head would explode yeah I do. | |
| That would be oh my God. | |
| And I have a couple other things. | |
| Um and with Flynn Mike Flynn I think he should run what what about Laura Trump? | |
| Yeah her too can add her to the list. | |
| Anyway, go ahead we can keep going all day. | |
| What do you want about Mike Flynn? | |
| Rick Grinnell I think R uh Mike I like Rick I like gr I like Rick and Grinnell too. | |
| I think he would be a part of any Trump administration moving forward uh and and he'd play a very pivotal role. | |
| Yeah I I said about Flynn I wish he could be Secretary of State. | |
| Uh I think he's a smart guy. | |
| He knows where all the dirt is but um yeah I think that's my opinion on far as the V P but I wish there would be one reporter, one conservative reporter that would stand up and not necessarily call Joe Biden a liar, but announce it. | |
| I mean, you can say it in a nice way. | |
| Now, sir, you know that I g I'll say it, Joe Biden's a liar. | |
| He lied when he said he never talked to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings. | |
| There you go. | |
| He's a liar. | |
| I said it. | |
| I would like for uh even uh somebody to tell uh the cringe, the uh KJP, I call them cringe, uh to one of them to ask her, how do you feel about being you wasn't hired on intellect or merit, you were hired as D EMA. | |
| How do you feel about that? | |
| What was her company? | |
| I didn't hear the li you hired what? | |
| Oh, D you're talking about DEI, got it. | |
| She wasn't she wasn't hired on merit or intellect. | |
| Look, I I I mean, honestly, uh I'm a I'm a hire the right person for the job kind of guy. | |
| That's it. | |
| You know, it just so happens that the executive producer of this radio show is a woman. | |
| D did now, did I choose Linda because Linda is a woman? | |
| No. | |
| Uh Linda is is just the best person for the job. | |
| Period end of sentence. | |
| I have uh an executive producer on television that happens to be a woman. | |
| That I that I pick her because she's a woman? | |
| No, she's the best person for the job. | |
| Is that fair, Linda? | |
| Is that a compliment? | |
| Yes, thank you very much. | |
| I appreciate being judged for my abilities and and not my uh God given gender. | |
| I mean, it's I I I it's not a thought for me. | |
| I I I I yeah I I don't know why it is for so many other people. | |
| Listen, I'm telling you that all HR departments, all this DEI stuff could be wiped away and you could have you know an HR book with one with one s page in it. | |
| You know, and and it could be optional part one, which is the golden rule. | |
| Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul. | |
| Love your fellow workers as yourself, love your neighbor as yourself, treat others the way you want to be treated. | |
| Case closed. | |
| And if people would respect other people that way, uh it'd be a better world and the work environment would be a better place. | |
| And you know, you get the job based on merit, based on your ability, and you keep the job based on your work ethic. | |
| You know, what I have found in life is and Linda, you can back me up on this. | |
| I don't really fire people. | |
| People end up firing themselves almost every single solitary time. | |
| Can you think of anybody that that and there really aren't a lot of people actually? | |
| You know, can you I can't think of anybody that I fired for any of the reason that they fired themselves. | |
| I give them every opportunity I can to if something's not working right. | |
| I mean, most people that work on the show unless they leave because they move or they get married or whatever, you know, they everybody's kinda here and does their thing. | |
| I mean, there's only been a few people who have really they just tried really hard to get fired and they succeeded. | |
| You know, but for as a rule, they were the exception. | |
| It's not a couple of things. | |
| I bet you love Bernie Sanders' proposal to get paid the same amount of money and you only work thirty-two hours a week. | |
| I I bet you'd love that gig. | |
| Uh who is working 32 hours a week is what I want to know. | |
| I mean, I can't get done our jobs in 40 hours. | |
| It's a nonstop job. | |
| Okay, so I'm on uh all right, I work I'm on the air twenty hours a week and I put you know, five hours in for every hour I'm on the air. | |
| Minimum. | |
| It's insane. | |
| It is insane. | |
| How many times this weekend did did text come rolling in from me about story ideas and and different things I wanted to make everybody aware of? | |
| How I I mean it's kind of it's all the time. | |
| And you're either in a never stop. | |
| People are just lazy, man. | |
| They're so lazy. | |
| I I don't get it. | |
| I ca I don't roll that way. | |
| I just don't. | |
| Bernie Sanders has never worked, so you know, he's not planning on the state. | |
| Yeah, that's a good point. | |
| We have a minute for Michelle in Alabama. | |
| Michelle, how are you? | |
| You got about a minute, make a count. | |
| How are you? | |
| I'm good. | |
| What's going on? | |
| I am I'm an educator for twenty five years and I have taught sixth grade through master's level in college. | |
| And one of my biggest gripes right now on not just your show, but just news media in general are how these protesters on college campuses are being called kids. | |
| You know what? | |
| Yeah, I'm I'm guilty of that. | |
| You're right. | |
| And I'm gonna tell you, I mean, even in my own mind, I mean my children are now becoming adults, and in my own mind I've not made the complete shift. | |
| Maybe maybe it's I just can't I c I they're adults. | |
| I mean I I hate the fact I mean I don't even want to know what they do sometimes. | |
| You know when kids go to college, you don't want to know. | |
| I just don't want to know. | |
| You don't. | |
| And I don't want to know about some of my high school students either. | |
| But calling them kids in my mind reduces their culpability. | |
| And what they are doing is very dangerous, and I think that they need to be labeled adults. | |
| And they should know better. | |
| You're right. | |
| They're adults that should know better. | |
| Yes. | |
| Well said. | |
| I'm proud of you. | |
| Thank you for correcting me. | |
| I I agree completely. |
