Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour this Friday.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
And, you know, the one aspect that we have to deal with here, remember, we were being lectured about these cheap, fake videos.
I keep going back to this.
It was just a few weeks ago.
And basically what that was about was don't believe what your eyes are showing you.
Don't believe that Barack Obama had to go back, rescue Joe, grab his hand, put his arm around him, walk him off the stage, and he says nothing.
And then after the disastrous debate, tweets out or X's out that, oh, anybody can have a bad debate.
And I trust me, I've had it myself and defends it.
Now he's leading the effort and giving the wink and nod to Pelosi, Schumer, and the likes of George Clooney, you know, to go in and Operation Dump and Destroy Biden is being orchestrated by him.
But the biggest, biggest issue here to me is what Speaker Johnson said.
This is the biggest cover-up scandal in American history because they've all known we've been playing these tapes for over four years before the last election.
And at times we took a lot of heat.
Linda, did I not take a lot of heat for playing and repeatedly playing and steadfastly playing his cognitive decline and chronicling it every day?
I took a lot of heat for that.
Yes.
And you even took heat for that, if I'm not mistaken, because you agree with me.
I know, but it's a problem because I enjoy it.
Of course you do.
But so you've got the biggest Democratic Party, state-run media, the mob, Joe Biden, cognitive, you know, cognitive state cover-up, and lie.
And that's what they have done until they couldn't do it anymore.
And let me play some of the media here.
Then we'll get reaction from our friend Joe Conchin and Kaylee McKee White in a second here.
David Axelard, maybe he's been more honest than the rest, but he's nothing but a spokesperson for Obama.
But here's what he said.
And that's really the issue.
The issue isn't about his record or history.
It's about his ability to move forward.
And when he was asked those questions, he really didn't have a great answer for what people should expect in the future based on what they're seeing now.
So, you know, I don't think this changed much.
I think that a lot of attitudes have now been kind of hardened.
I don't think he's going to change them.
They're not really leveling with him about where this race is.
And they really should.
It's not fair to him if they're not telling him the truth.
He is in a very, very tough spot.
I don't know anyone in politics who would tell you, who looks at the numbers that we see, would tell you that he has a very good chance to win this race and that perhaps others wouldn't have a better chance to win this race.
He needs to know that, and there needs to be some hard conversations.
Let me just earth to Axelrod.
He knows the real numbers.
He's just in denial, which I've seen with a lot of politicians over the years.
Then you go over to MSDNC.
They're the ones that were pushing the cheap fake videos, basically calling conservatives liars and that we were editing videos that were not edited.
And anyway, then you've got conspiracy theorists Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace.
You know, they're echoing the same talking point.
Well, if Joe got the right information, he might make the right decision.
And the people are really giving him the right information.
No, he has the right information.
Another lie, just like the big cover-up that they're a part of and have been a part of, just like they lied about Russia collusion, et cetera.
You know, two things on the politics.
There's no incumbent president with lower approval ratings who won.
There are only three with lower approval ratings than he has right now, and they all lost.
Donald Trump, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter.
So some of the political information is what worries some folks in his inner circle.
And there is right now no poll that shows him winning.
I think that what Nicole points out about the reality about polling numbers for incumbent presidents and the real history of that versus what President Biden said, which was not actually factually accurate as far as I can tell.
That's worrying because it makes me worry that the president is being given information about his political standing that may not be based in reality.
Okay, talking point.
Well taken.
Clearly a talking point.
But then you've got this other group, including Paul Bagala gushing over all of the performance.
It was a tour de force, a tour of the world.
DNC chair insisting that Biden put on a master class at this press conference.
Biden spokesperson, all but popping champagne corks for the high-stakes press conference.
He was just that effing good.
You know, even Stephen Colbert starting to fall in line, you know, basically, you know, going forward and saying that, you know, he had a lot of insight into the current election cycle.
He's pretty sharp.
And then you really can't outdo Lawrence O'Donnell.
Poor Lawrence.
Listen.
The big question for Joe Biden is how does he handle speaking off the teleprompter?
That's been the big question since the debate.
So what followed was nothing less than the most masterful, televised presidential press conference about foreign policy.
There have been other presidential press conferences that have exhibited mastery at different points by some presidents, but on foreign policy, complex foreign policy involving the Middle East and the situation in Ukraine, this is as good as it gets with an American president.
As good as it gets.
Joe Concha, author of the bestseller, come on, man.
Probably the, not probably, the best media reporter, the only honest one, frankly, that I know of in the mob.
He's not part of the blue check mark, so-called fake journalists, but really talk show hosts, opinionated as they are, mob and state-run media.
And Kaylee McGee White is with us, Steamboat Institute Blankly Fellow and Restoring America editor of the Washington Examiner.
Welcome both of you.
Joe, I guess this is where you take your victory lap because you've been willing to go there with us for a long time now and speak the obvious and your friends, your colleagues, if you will, That are basically just cult members, you know, that they just don't have it within them to state the obvious truth.
Thank you, Sean.
Look, I wrote Come On, Man, in 2021 and 2022, and I've been saying this to write a whole book basically about Joe Biden's life and to talk about where he was as far as his mental acuity in 2016 or even 2012, and then to see what happened during that campaign.
And everybody ignored it.
They ignored it for the last three and a half years.
You and I have been talking about it.
And now the media says, oh, maybe we shouldn't have ignored the story.
Maybe we slept off.
No, it was all intentional.
This is the bias of omission 101.
If I were teaching a class at some university somewhere, this would be at the top of my syllabus as far as what is the bias of omission.
Well, it's exactly this.
They tried to ignore it, as you said.
They accused us of cheap fakes and manipulated videos, edited videos.
How do you edit Joe Biden falling upwards on Air Force One on those stairs?
How do you edit him falling off his bike in Delaware?
How do you edit him falling on stage at the Air Force Academy?
How do you edit him saying that his uncle was eaten by cannibals?
How do you edit him saying that he inherited 9% inflation or he inherited a mess at the border or that he drove an 18-wheeler or that he was arrested during the civil rights movement?
I could go on and on, but like this is pretty easy stuff.
This wasn't exactly a complex story that we were covering here.
And the fact that he would be on stage and not know how to get off the stage or shake hands with the air or just say things that were just profoundly odd or the fact that he has been on vacation for 40% of his presidency and they don't release the visitors logs into Delaware.
I wonder who's visiting on all those long weekends.
On and on.
This was obvious.
It was right in front of their noses.
And just like the Steele dossier, just like COVID didn't come from a lab, just like Donald Trump was a Russian Asian, they lied to the American people.
They will never get their credibility back.
And by the way, that montage you played before about how Biden was masterful last night, can any of these so-called journalists, these hosts like Lawrence O'Donnell, like Paul Bagala, what did Biden say that was so profound in terms of foreign policy?
Because they said the general statement, but then I didn't hear anything specific last night that just made me go, wow, he really knows what he's talking about.
Or, hey, I think I agree with them.
And by the way, Barack Obama, you are a coward.
You send out Danny Ocean.
You send out George Clooney instead of you coming forward and saying, sorry, Joe, I just don't think you should be the nominee anymore.
Instead, he's hiding behind celebrities at this point.
So much for the best friends bracelets, I guess, that Joe and Barack apparently had.
These two hate each other.
Barack has never, ever approved of Joe Biden in terms of running for president.
That's why he wanted Hillary in 2016.
That's why he waited so long in 2020 to endorse him.
And now he's orchestrating this whole thing behind the scenes.
And I think it's going to fail because Joe Biden and people like Ron Clain, you saw what he said on social media where he said the freakout's over.
Joe Biden is a nominee.
He's not going anywhere.
The people around Biden are telling him that, and Biden is as defined as he has been.
You tell me why he's going to leave.
I don't think I could say it any better.
Kaylee McGee White, you want to top that?
Yeah, well, I don't know about you guys, but I've been having a great time this past week watching all of this unfold.
I mean, it's truly hilarious to watch them eat themselves over this issue.
Wait a minute, are you talking about Uncle Bosey or are you talking about Joe and the Democrats eating each other?
Exactly.
Yeah, no, the Democrats are destroying themselves from within at this point.
And this was entirely preventable.
I mean, does anyone remember Dean Phillips, who was the only Democrat at this point last year willing to say what was already obvious back then, which was that Biden was unfit to serve another four years?
He tried to primary Biden because he was willing to say the secret out loud.
And they forced him out of House Democratic leadership.
They said, no, get lost.
And wow.
Well, you saw what they did in North Carolina yesterday by making sure that Hornell West and RFK Jr.
were not on the ticket so that would help Joe Biden in the general election.
Right.
And so anyone who tried to speak the truth about this issue was systematically silenced by the Democratic establishment.
And now they're in full-blown panic mode trying to pretend that they were not complicit in this massive cover-up the entire time.
And they just can't figure out what to do because I think they really did delude themselves into believing that Joe Biden would go quietly, that he would voluntarily step aside if Barack asked him to or whoever else, and that he would just willingly give up the White House and give up the reelection bid.
Well, now that's coming back to bite them because now they're learning what everyone in D.C. has known for a very long time, which is that Joe Biden is a selfish, I'm not going to say the word on air, but he is full of himself.
No, go ahead, say it.
No, I'm kidding.
Go ahead.
I think our imaginations can take it from there.
Go ahead.
Well, he's full of himself.
This has been his ambition for years.
It took him three failed presidential campaigns to get there.
And it just so happens that his wife is even more selfish than he is.
So the idea that the Bidens are just going to step aside voluntarily at this point is delusional.
And so Democrats are panicking.
They have no idea what to do.
They're used to people following orders and doing as they're told.
And it's not working this time.
It's really well said.
It's not working.
Quick break.
We'll come right back.
More with Joe Concha, Kaylee McGee-White.
All right, we continue now.
Your call's coming up straight ahead, 800-941, Sean.
But first, more with Joe Concha and Kaylee McGee-White.
Now, the question is, I mean, you have these powerful forces, the elite, as Joe refers to them, within the Democratic Party, now clearly led by Barack Obama, even though Barack Obama initially came to his defense after the disastrous debate performance.
But certainly he gave the wink and nod to his best buddy, George Cloney, and clearly he's talking to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and clearly he's granted the okay for every Democrat to distance themselves from Joe Biden, and clearly he's been talking to the donor class.
But then you've got this other group of people, pretty influential, pretty powerful.
I've been pointing it out.
Nobody else seems to be paying attention to it, but the Congressional Black Caucus, the squad, AOC, somebody like James Clyburn, who I think is one of the most influential voices in all of Washington, and who's single-handedly saved Biden's campaign in 2020, Joe Concha.
So that intramural battle is unfolding before our eyes.
How does it play out?
Because even Nancy Pelosi recognizes time is short here, and Joe seemed pretty defiant last night that he's staying in.
Precisely, Sean.
A stalemate is the worst possible scenario for Democrats right now.
This feels a lot like Ukraine and Russia just completely stalled over on the Eastern Front.
You had these two powerful sides now dug in, it seems, and no one is giving up any ground now.
So the longer this goes on, the closer Chicago comes.
That convention begins on August 19th.
It's going to be chaos anyway, regardless of Biden.
But the nomination is before that.
It's going to be virtual, and that's in early August.
Okay, thank you for clarifying that.
I didn't realize that they would be holding it that much earlier.
Well, there you go.
So now what are we talking here?
It's July 12th, 19 days left in this month.
Give it a couple days after that.
You're talking about three weeks.
They have to sort all of this out.
And the most important player in all of this is the president of the United States, who doesn't seem to want to go anywhere.
And I'm telling you, I wrote a book about this guy.
You will not meet a bigger narcissist, a bigger liar, quite frankly, and somebody who has failed upwards to get to this point his whole life, and he finally got there.
And if you think that he wants his legacy to be, that he's the Lyndon Baines Johnson, he's not doing it.
I'm telling you.
All right.
So your answer, my exit question was, will he survive?
Your answer is you believe he will, correct?
He will survive, and he will lose and lose quite decisively, Sean.
Kaylee, will he survive as their candidate?
He will survive only because there is no clear alternative candidate.
The absence of other options, he's all they've got.
All right.
I'm putting you on record.
We'll have you back and see how well these predictions stand the test of time.
Thank you both.
Joe Konchuk, Kaylee McKee, White.
Thank you very much.
800-941-Sean is a number.
Standing up for what's right with America.
We're back on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
If you are a believer in the Second Amendment, as I am, and you're a gun owner, you're not going to believe what happened to this very responsible gun owner, thought she was doing everything right.
It's a true story.
Her name is Donna Gracie, pulled over in New Joise for having tinted windows.
All right, not the worst crime in the world.
But police discovered Donna had a Florida concealed carry permit, and she did have her handgun in her purse.
Now, New Jersey does not honor Florida or any other state's concealed carry permits, despite Donna's permit, which I have, a Florida license to carry, being valid in 36 other states.
Now, she's not a member of the USCCA, and now she's on her own to battle not only the legal system, but multiple felony charges and God knows how many thousands of dollars in fees.
It's going to cost her a fortune and maybe her freedom.
And I share this story with you because the truth is that just owning a gun for protection can get you in trouble in our new America.
Now, I've been with the USCCA.
I'm a proud member, nine years and running, because they have the best safety training, education, self-defense, liability insurance, and you get all of that for less than a dollar a day.
Go to their website, defendfamily.com.
Right now, you can learn more about a USCCA membership.
You'll also get entered to win the gun of your choice and up to $155 worth of free bonuses.
One word, DefendFamily.
Go to defendfamily.com.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Oh, you know, before we do, just to get off to an unrelated topic, but a very important one, the former CDC director actually was on Capitol Hill and finally admitted that which we have already known.
And that is that the COVID shot, the jab, the mRNA injections.
Remember when we had Robert Malone, who created the technology for even having mRNA vaccinations, he said it's not perfected yet.
He said, I would never have authorized widespread use of it.
I would only have authorized it for older people that had a much higher mortality rate and for those people with preexisting conditions or comorbidities only, certainly not young people.
Anyway, what he admitted, Robert Redfield, if you don't remember, is the former CDC director, is that these injections with the mRNA vaccine shouldn't have been mandated.
They have side effects.
Oh, you're telling us now at this point, even though they've up to recently been recommending that people get their booster.
Listen.
Let's say this mRNA, this modified mRNA, attaches to heart muscle.
What is it?
It injects itself into the cells, causes that heart muscle cell to produce spiked protein, correct?
Which is toxic to the body.
And then what does the body do?
It has a very strong pro-inflammatory response, which is problematic.
Again, I think, Senator, what you're getting at, which I'm 100% agreeing with you, is I think there was not appropriate transparency from the beginning about the potential side effects of these vaccines.
And I do think there was inappropriate decisions by some to try to under Report any side effects because they argued that would make the public less likely to get vaccinated.
I do think one of the greatest mistakes that was made, of course, was mandating these vaccines.
They should have never been mandated.
It should have been open to personal choice.
They don't prevent infection.
They do have side effects.
He admitted that it contributed to inflammation in and around the heart area.
That probably would explain.
I'm not a doctor, all the incidences, the increased incidences, even in young people, of myocarditis.
It might explain some of the blood clotting phenomenon that we have chronicled on this program.
But for him to admit that, yeah, it did have inflammatory effects and that it was problematic and we shouldn't have mandated it and we weren't transparent enough.
Really?
You're saying it now?
When did you know this?
And why didn't you sound the alarm at the time?
I mean, the more we know about how we've been lied to, remember, if you get the vaccine, you're not going to ever get COVID.
Lie.
You get the vaccine, you won't affect others.
Lie.
All of it turned out to be false.
And, you know, when people like me would put on doctors that warned about what was emergency authorization and the use of these vaccines, and I even put on the creator of the technology, Joe Rogan, did the same thing.
He put on Robert Malone.
And Robert Malone, without him, they never would have had mRNA vaccinations.
He created the technology, and he was telling anybody that would listen that it's not been perfected, and nobody would listen to him.
And then you'd be called a conspiracy theorist.
And, you know, I go back to all of the pressure.
You know, everybody wanted to know, Linda, how much pressure was brought to bear on us, me in particular, on this program for me to tell everybody my status, whether or not I was vaccinated, whether or not I support vaccinations, whether or not I'm going to tell my audience to get vaccinated, whether or not I've had COVID or not had COVID.
And, you know, once they start, I probably would have shared my views on all of it, but I didn't want to influence anyone else's decision for a lot of reasons.
I'm not a doctor, number one.
Number two, I know nothing about your current health situation.
Nothing.
I don't know anything about any preexisting conditions you have or comorbidities you might have.
I was never in a position to tell people what to do or not do.
I did say to take it seriously.
I did say to consult with your doctor.
I did say to educate yourself to the best of your ability.
And we tried to help you and then get informed.
And then what did I get in exchange?
Basically, a couple of columns in the New York Times saying that, and I threatened to sue them, that if my mom listened to Sean Hannity, she'd probably be dead.
Well, what was wrong with that advice?
Telling people to take it seriously and talk to their own doctor and inform themselves and make their own decision.
Well, what about all the people that said to go and get the vaccine?
And so their moms did go and get the vaccine.
And then they had negative reactions to a vaccine that wasn't tried, true, and tested because they used the EUA to push it through.
Linda, we had long conversations about this.
And I said at the time, because you saw the pressure that was being put on us, and I said, I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
And that was the end of that.
And I was, you have no idea.
I mean, for people, I mean, not that anyone really, I'm not, I'm not, I'm grateful that I followed my gut and my instinct and had enough sense not to go along with the mob pressure that they were trying to put on me.
And you know what, to this day, I've never answered questions about Sean Hannity and COVID.
And you know what?
I'm not going to.
Linda knows.
Think about that.
You can sell it and make a lot of money.
Exactly.
I'll never do it.
I mean like vaccine cards, getting your access to buildings revoked, not being able to get a cup of coffee, people going out and saying that if you didn't get the job, you couldn't go to work.
You couldn't be in the military.
You couldn't be a nurse.
You couldn't go and be, I mean, NFL players, NBA players, people in the MLB.
And it just didn't matter.
It just didn't matter.
The science had nothing to do with it.
College athletes, it was either, you know, they spent their whole lives preparing to play a sport.
And these are people, their body is their temple.
Remember what they did to Novak Djokovic for crying out loud.
They wouldn't let him play in the Australian Open.
They sent him home.
And I believe that year he wasn't allowed to play in the U.S. Open either.
It was horrible.
I mean, one of the greatest tennis champions of all time in the greatest shape ever.
And to his credit, he didn't give in to the pressure.
And they took away the strong possibility that he would have won more Grand Slams.
It's a disgrace.
Anyway, let's get to our phones.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Ryan in San Diego, Cogo Radio.
We love San Diego.
What's going on, sir?
How you doing, Sean?
Just real quick, I've been trying to call in for quite a while.
In fact, I've been talking about it for years.
So here, the whole thing, real quick, with Biden, I have Parkinson's, I've had it since my early 40s.
Anyway, I'm sorry, how long have you had it?
I've had it over 12 years, and I got it in my 40s.
They don't know from what, whether it's from Agent Orange, from my old man, being a Marine, some football trauma in my head.
I don't know.
No one else in the family has it.
It's brutal.
I don't really lie.
I don't like the guy, but I feel bad that they're pressuring the guy.
The whole thing is, what makes me upset about more than anything, Sean, and this is an irrefutable fact, there's no way he's not, there's five stages of Parkinson's.
And the last stage, you don't want to know about it.
It's like, what it is, basically, Parkinson's, what people don't understand, it's a slow form of ALS.
It's just a long, drawn-out torture is what it is.
And when he was with a stiff hand, it's because you can't move, Sean, and you can't talk because your muscles are shutting down.
And it's so difficult when he can't walk and he can't think straight.
And he has to take the nap.
So when they put him, when you're talking about when they put him in, you know, draw lock him away for a week or, you know, put him in the basement, basically.
Basically, they're trying to get his dopamine stabilized.
And so if your dopamine is stabilized, you can function.
But if it's not, Sean, you can barely walk.
You can't move.
It's horrible.
But the point is, they've known he's in at least a fourth stage.
He's had it for at least, he's had to have it for eight years, ten years at least.
And there's no way.
Let me ask you this.
Are there any medications that are on the market, maybe new to the market, that you're able to take that helps this?
Well, the only thing you can do now is dopamine.
So basically what Parkinson's is your neurons die.
And we have the first sign of it, 75% of your neurons are dead in your brain.
So your body can't produce enough dopamine, and your body can't absorb enough dopamine as you get into later stages.
So it doesn't matter.
No, there's two new medications they've come out with.
Michael D. Fox's group just came up with a huge thing where they can test you, the first signs of it, you can get it.
And they've came up with this new medication.
It's a protein that attacks these proteins that are creating it in the brain.
So there's hope there.
But my niece is a neuroscientist.
She's a professor at school in the Midwest, and they're working on it.
But no, basically, Sean, what happens is the dopamine fills that void.
And you maybe feel good, probably.
I would be honest with you.
I felt good maybe one hour out of the day.
The rest of the day I feel like crap.
Jeez.
Well, first, I want you to know, I know way more about Parkinson's than you might know.
And I know how hard a condition it is.
And I'm sorry you're going through it.
I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
I'm not going to diagnose Joe, but it's certainly odd that you have a top Parkinson's expert showing up at the White House, meeting with the White House physician on eight separate occasions and them not being honest about it.
And I don't know what Joe's problems are.
He had frontal lobe surgery issues both sides years ago.
I don't know if it's related to that.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm not going to diagnose him on the air.
But cognitive decline is real, and it doesn't get better.
It's degenerative.
It only gets worse.
And I think we have seen a deterioration over the last four years.
And I've chronicled, you know, I used to make fun of his cognitive decline.
I don't know if you remember.
And I used to talk about, oh, warm milky, and we had sippy cups made up with the presidential seal on them.
And I was kind of making fun of him for screwing up.
I didn't think it was that serious at the time.
Then I realized it was that serious.
And I was very public about saying, I'm not going to make fun of this anymore.
And because it's not a joke to quote Joe, it's not a joke.
Not a joke.
And I just felt like I need to take it seriously.
He's the president of our country.
And everybody's known.
That's the worst part.
Why hasn't anybody loved him enough to say, enough, Joe?
You've done enough in your life.
It's time.
I don't know.
We're praying for you, my friend.
God bless you.
We appreciate you calling in.
800-941 Sean is on number.
Barbara is in Long Island, New York.
Barbara, my old stomping ground, my house is gone.
It's sold.
It's done.
It's finished.
What's going on?
Well, I wanted to make a comment about Biden's speech last night when he introduced Putin.
He went to exit the stage to his right.
Correct.
I haven't heard any commentators mention that because Zelensky was on his left.
Yes, that's true.
The other leaders were to the right.
I think he was probably had said direction: go to your place with the other leaders to the right.
I mean, that would be my guess because we know he gets big boy font because he doesn't know whether to exit stage left or right.
And he shakes air and all the things that we have chronicled over the years.
So you might be right.
And then he comes running back.
I'm in Mint Zelensky.
He's going to beat Putin.
All right.
Maybe a halfway decent save.
Look, if that was just an isolated incident or even that incident and Vice President Trump, and he was energetic and articulate, and we didn't have this, you know, this bizarre ebb and flow, strange, you know, you're on pins and needles, not knowing which Joe is going to emerge at any given moment.
You know, a president that, you know, high energy, then next to no energy by the end, and yelling at one point, whispering at another.
You know, this is why this lie and cover-up is so dangerous to our country and to the world.
And they've all known it for years.
This is not new to them.
They're just, they're looking at the polls.
It's about power.
It's not about Joe.
Anyway, you raise a great point.
How's Long Island?
Does anybody in Long Island miss me at all?
Anybody?
Anybody?
Well, I do, Sean.
Thank you, Barbara.
I appreciate it.
I really do.
I have a lot of friends there.
And, you know, I can't tell you how many of them.
Linda, you know this?
They want to move down here.
I can't tell you how many have said, you know, I think you made the right move.
I'm not far behind.
I'll be down there soon.
The problem is now that between the mortgage rates and the cost of a home and then the fact that you got to sell your home in Long Island and nobody can get a mortgage because the interest rates are too damn high.
So it's like everything is over.
It's the whole round robin of trying to get the hell out and trying to get in.
There's no real, in my opinion, everything's so hyperinflated.
It's ridiculous.
The true value of homes is just like lost.
I'd love to get our whole team down here.
I know we've talked about it with some people on the team and for the very reason you're stating it's impossible.
You're not going to give up a 2.8% 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
Why would you?
Exactly.
Hey, this July we celebrate not only the birth of our nation on the 4th, but we remember the heroes that fought for our freedoms.
But did you know that there are some Americans today that still don't have the freedom of life and liberty?
And this is where the issue of pre-born comes in.
When do you believe, when do you think life begins?
Now, the mission of pre-born is to simply, for free, introduce expecting moms to the majesty, the miracle of birth within them.
And what they're finding is through science that expecting moms often, with that new information, make the decision of life.
Right, Linda?
Not only is it making such a big decision, but it's making a decision for this other life and your life.
And they're helping you because you don't know what's going to happen next.
That's one of the things about being a parent.
Like you say all the time, you think you're done at 18, forget about it.
That's fake news.
But the cool thing with pre-born is when you make a donation, you can go to their website and you can check it out and you can see how your donation is working.
So some moms, some baby, their story, their pictures.
And it's like, wow, this is like an actual thing.
It's not these clinics where you go in, you know nothing, and they take a life out of you like they were throwing out the trash.
It's not trash.
It's a life.
28 bucks is one ultrasound.
You know, you can get five for $140.
Think about the things we spend money on.
And I know it's hard right now, but this is a really big deal.
And this audience is pretty much their only hope.
