| And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently. | |

| Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic. | |
| We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day. | |
| Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. | |
| Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. | |
| Alright, news roundup Information Overload Hour, Art R Tolfrey numbers 800, 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program. | |
| So I guess Saturday Night Live had their 50th special anniversary. | |
| I looked in briefly, was not that impressed, uh, and and just kind of moved on. | |
| And then I saw online a parody of quote Black Jeopardy among the most popular. | |
| Anyway, and had Tom Hanks uh in a Trump hat and you know, then recoiling from a handshake, and and just just listen to what they think of Trump supporters in the legacy media, because this is a reflection of what they really believe. | |
| Listen. | |
| If more folks went to church, we wouldn't be in this mess we're in now. | |
| You know what I agree with you, Doug. | |
| I'd like to shake your hand, sir. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Oh, no, no. | |
| Oh no, no, it's just it's just a handshake. | |
| Yeah, all right. | |
| You welcome it back, Jimmy. | |
| Oh, well, all right. | |
| Thank you. | |
| My mind by brother. | |
| You know, maybe I'll start a show for you to come on, and we'll call it Lot Jeopardy. | |
| We don't need it. | |
| We don't need it. | |
| Uh how y'all doing? | |
| And and I'm I'm not shaking your hand. | |
| You're um you know, seriously. | |
| And that's what they think of and I think we'd be better off, you know what, if most Americans went to church. | |
| Well, I actually believe that too. | |
| I think America returning to its faith is not a bad thing. | |
| Uh wanting to believe in God and live a godly life. | |
| Not exactly a bad thing. | |
| Anyway, here to weigh in on this and a lot more. | |
| Joe Concha, Fox News contributor, media expert. | |
| Uh great to have you back. | |
| I just I think this is an indication how a lot of people in the media, Hollywood, how they view Trump supporters. | |
| We're just a bunch of dumbass ignoramuses, and what the heck do we know? | |
| And they just have contempt for the American people, and they they show it often. | |
| And Sean, it's not even funny. | |
| I I mean, Donald Trump just got more percentage of the black vote in the 2024 election than any Republican in 50 years. | |
| So this whole thing, like, well, if you support Donald Trump, you'll be afraid to shake a black man's hand. | |
| I don't even remotely get the humor in that. | |
| And Tom Hanks is supposed to be one of the more reasonable, normal Hollywood guys, and I guess that was written for him, but I guess he was just reading what was written, but he could have refused it too. | |
| It's just, I'm not gonna get angry about it because it's just so pathetic, and Saturday Live has not been relevant for many years. | |
| So if this is what they deem is humor, then it's the same thing as Stephen Colbert and the Pope of Late Night Jimmy Kimmel or Seth Myers. | |
| Everything now is political, it's against conservatives, and it's just so tiresome, it's so old, it's so overplayed, to the point where I don't think it really has any impact on anything anymore. | |
| And I'm not gonna even give them the satisfaction of being offended because honestly, it's just so predictable at this point. | |
| It's stupid. | |
| You know, I don't really disagree with you, and and I just look at it though, but this is this is all they've got. | |
| And you know, yeah, Joy Reed over at MSDNC. | |
| Every single Republican would say yes to Trump selling the country to Vladimir Putin, or the the lie told last week by Rachel Matto, which interestingly the New York Times had to retract uh their article suggesting that Donald Trump gave, you know, a 400 million dollar contract to Tesla when in fact it was the Biden administration. | |
| Uh our old old friend Michael Steele. | |
| I don't I don't know what happens to conservatives and Republicans. | |
| I don't care if it's Liberal Joe, Nicole Wallace, Michael Steele, they go over, they get a Paycheck from MSDNC and it's just like, oh, okay, now I'm gonna be a liberal. | |
| And here's you know, him going off this weekend as well. | |
| I just like you to show that you give a damn that you got a little emotion about the fact that people are losing their jobs indiscriminately. | |
| That that this individual sitting at down the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has given absolute power to one man who brings his son into the into the Oval Office, whose son says to him, You're not the president. | |
| You shouldn't be in that chair. | |
| Now, where did he get that from? | |
| He got it from his daddy. | |
| Because that's what his daddy thinks is the man who brought him into the Oval Office. | |
| So I just like to see somebody wake the hell up and get excited about the fact that your country is under assault. | |
| They're bear they're not at the gate anymore. | |
| They're in your bedrooms, they're in your living rooms, they're in your businesses. | |
| They're got they got your data, dumbass. | |
| They got all your stuff. | |
| Elon Musk has a tentacles in everything you're doing, not just off of X, but now he's in the Treasury Department. | |
| He's in the labor department, he's in the Department of Homeland Security, and nobody seems to give a damn. | |
| So that's all I want somebody to show that they care enough to get off their fat ass and say something about it. | |
| Gee, you really motivated me. | |
| People are dying because of Doge cuts. | |
| And and Elon Musk is a male body part with a constitutional crisis. | |
| Where's the emotion over 20 million on a Sesame Street show in Iraq? | |
| When the average American makes 66,000 a year and we have 37 trillion dollars in debt that they have put on our children and grandchildren, or the 56 million to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt, or the 40 million to build schools in Jordan, | |
| or the 11 million to Vietnam to stop burning trash, uh, or all of the different programs to all of these countries for trans-led organizations to deliver gender-affirming health care, or 45 million in DEI scholarships to Burma, | |
| uh, or or 520 million for consultant-driven ESG investments in in Africa and DEI in Serbia and DEI musicals in Ireland and transgender operas in Colombia and transgender comic books in in Peru, and I can keep going, | |
| and it doesn't stop, or the fact that Trump got us out of the corrupt WHO, we're spending a 1.28 billion dollars a year, uh, or the Paris Accords, you know, uh including a 369 billion dollars in and fighting this radical new green dealism or the World Economic Forum or the U. We spent 13 billion on the UN, let China have it and and leave this historically anti-Semitic and anti-American organization. | |
| Anyway, Joe Concha, I mean, where's the outrage over any of that? | |
| That's the whole problem here. | |
| And by the way, you know why the RNC, uh, when Michael Seale was the chair patently sucked as far as raising money or getting a message out, because Michael Steele was running it during the Romney years, right? | |
| And here's the thing. | |
| Michael Steele, after Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania in the ear, questioned whether he got shot at all. | |
| He went on national television and like, well, maybe it was a piece of glass from the teleprompter, even though the teleprompters fully intact. | |
| So you're right. | |
| I have no idea what happened to this person, who I guess used to be reasonable, but he goes on there and talks about this stuff, and again, he's missing the story. | |
| The story isn't Elon Musk. | |
| Elon Musk was hired by the chief executive, that's President Trump, as an advisor, just as chief executives do at any company in the country, and he is passed, Elon Musk is in finding waste and corruption. | |
| And boy, to your point, there are dozens, hundreds of examples of this happening where we can save money and end things that have no interest as far as the U.S. interest in advancing things that we need to do as a country. | |
| We don't need, for example, $300 million being sent to a Palestinian concrete company so they can build tunnels for Hamas in Gaza, right? | |
| That literally happened under USAID. | |
| And if you're against that, if you're advising Democrats that we have to fight and stand up to this, you're gonna lose every election every time. | |
| Because you go out to the street right now, Sean, you ask a hundred people, are you against or are you for, I should say, a government Audit. | |
| Overall, across all agencies of government waste and corruption, are you for that? | |
| And a hundred people, ninety-nine would say yes, and the other one is drunk. | |
| In other words, this is something that everybody agrees on. | |
| And if Michael Steele's advice is that we have to fight this, uh, well, good luck because you're never going to win another election again. | |
| And as for why he's saying this, he wants that next contract to your point, a paycheck from MSNBC. | |
| He's telling his audience what they think they should hear instead of what they need to hear, and that's the whole problem with media right now. | |
| It's all about the money. | |
| It's all about narcissism. | |
| It has nothing to do with honesty and truth. | |
| You have the White House correspondent for fake news CNN, Caitlin Collins, and put up a post on Luigi Mangione. | |
| And she in fairness, she ended up deleting it. | |
| Um, do I think she did it on purpose? | |
| Probably not. | |
| And uh I you know, that's not a consideration that you or I would ever get from anybody in the corrupt media. | |
| Oh no. | |
| No way. | |
| I mean, if we ever put up a uh I'm just being trying to be fair. | |
| Do I think she did it on purpose? | |
| I do not. | |
| I I'm not sure. | |
| Yeah, she probably said all right, this is the website for Luigi Mangioni. | |
| Uh, but at the same time, given that the evidence is so overwhelming here, I'm I'm with you in terms of giving people a fair trial, and you're innocent until proven guilty. | |
| But you know, there's video, and he shot a father of two in the back, Luigi Mangioni did, uh uh a father of uh two children and and obviously a wife at home, uh all over health care and his gripe with it, even though he wasn't even a customer of of United Healthcare. | |
| Uh I I don't think you post anything that is remotely positive towards Luigi Mangioni if you're a White House correspondent, if you have a prime time show on CNN where tens upon tens are watching. | |
| The White House correspondent for crying out loud. | |
| I mean, it it is hate Trump all the time, but I mean, when you get a zero point six rating every night, I mean, it's not like she's having any impact, so if a tree falls in the forest, nobody is hears it, you know, did it fall? | |
| That's that's the thing. | |
| And and the funny thing is that she was a White House correspondent during Trump one dot oh in terms of his first term, and then when Biden came into office, just like Jim Acosta, suddenly she didn't want to be a White House correspondent anymore, because that would mean, oh no, I gotta ask a democratic press secretary, tough questions, obnoxious questions, condescending, which is that's all she's been during Trump 2.0. | |
| So now suddenly she's back as a White House correspondent again, speaking to it to power when she couldn't do that during a Democrat. | |
| So this is a phony, this is a fake, and she's not getting any ratings whatsoever. | |
| Yet CNN is going to make her the face of that network. | |
| Good luck, guys, because this is why you only have friends and relatives watching at this point. | |
| Look, uh, you even have, by the way, the New York Times, you know, raising the issue, a column answering whether dating women of color could advance anti-racism in, you know, their magazine The Ethicist. | |
| Uh and uh we'll say David Brooks did make the case for Trump banning the AP. | |
| What is your take on you know, this is a whole different environment, Joe? | |
| It's it's it they don't have the impact and they're not getting the attention they once got. | |
| So my attitude is you know what? | |
| Yeah, yeah, you have to adjust to the modern era, and the modern era in media is not them. | |
| They don't know it, but they're dead. | |
| They don't know it, people don't trust them. | |
| They don't know it because they they just have reverted to form and gone right back to where they were, and that is hating Trump every second minute hour of every day. | |
| And I just, you know, how how has that worked out for them so far? | |
| I mean, there will be a fringe audience of radical leftists that, you know, will love being lied to, but short of that, they're not gonna win the consensus of the American people because Americans, when they see where this money has been wasted, are gonna be livid about it, especially because they're struggling to pay their mortgage or their rent and and not have to put fair necessities on credit cards. | |
| And I think that's the problem, Sean, that they they live in an ecosystem of either political media is based in Washington, DC, which went ninety-three percent for Kamala Harris in the last election, or New York City, which wasn't too much different in terms of overwhelmingly be Democrat. | |
| So, in order to get along, in order to get that next contract, in order to be accepted in the break room sort of thing, they all just kind of talk to each other instead of to your point, get out and talk to people in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, go down to Western Carolina and see how people are still struggling instead of just opining from your ivory towers. | |
| That's the whole problem. | |
| They can't connect with people because they're not talking and listening. | |
| They're only talking at people at this point. | |
| All right, quick break more with Joe Concha, our media critic extraordinary on the other side, then we'll hit the phones. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond. | |
| 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 with Joe Concha. | |
| We only have a short time. | |
| Let me play you Margaret Brennan and Marco Rubio, where she tells Marco that free speech was used by Nazi Germany to conduct the Holocaust. | |
| Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide. | |
| And he met with the head of a political party that has far right views and some historic ties to extreme groups. | |
| The context of that was changing the tone of it. | |
| And you know that that the censorship disagree with you specifically about the right. | |
| Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. | |
| The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they had a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews. | |
| There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. | |
| There was none. | |
| There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. | |
| They were a sole and only party that governed that country. | |
| So that's not an accurate reflection of history. | |
| I mean, I thought it was checkmate by Marco. | |
| Oh, it's reminded me of a Mike Tyson fight in the 80s, right? | |
| Like Michael Sphinx, it's over in 91 seconds. | |
| Uh, that was over in 30 seconds. | |
| Marco Rubio. | |
| I think J.D. Vance will probably be the next president of the United States if the Trump administration is successful and they accomplish all the things that already 28 days in, clearly they had their eye in the ball. | |
| But I think Marco Rubio one day will be president of the United States. | |
| He's as serious as a prison fight. | |
| He is so different from what we saw in 2016, which he was kind of rehearsed and wasn't ready for prime time. | |
| Him as Secretary of State, outside of J.D. Vance being picked as vice president, he just showed there calmly and coolly, saying, Wait, you think because Hitler had too much free speech that that led to an authoritarian regime that was not opposed in any way, and then uh a genocide of nearly five million Jews? | |
| I I mean the way he just said that and and didn't even flinch, that that's going to be a president one day. | |
| Uh, let's call it 2036, Sean. | |
| Uh, okay. | |
| Well, that we'll put that down as a prediction. | |
| You were pretty good this year, so you deserve a lot of credit. | |
| Joe Concha, we appreciate it. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |

| Uh, listen, if you find yourself exhausted every day, if you're fighting the 3 p.m. crash after lunch, maybe struggling with memory issues or having a hard time with focus. | |

| All right, let's go to Montreal. | |
| It was over the weekend, and Canadian hockey fans booing the Star Spangled banner almost from the the beginning. | |
| Oh say can you see, but getting particularly loud and with the Rockets red glare as that was being sung. | |
| And anyway, by the end of the anthem, a lot of U.S. fans made their voices heard but were overwhelmed by the angry, bitter Canadians. | |
| Um Canada, their national anthem was sung throughout the arena without any booing and without any particular patriotic fervor. | |
| And within nine seconds after the gloves were off and three fights break out. | |
| It was awesome. | |
| Can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? | |
| Whose broad stripes and bright stars And price starts through the spike. | |
| Anyway, the U.S. ends up winning this game three to one, which makes me happy. | |
| Um, you know, the the problem, here's the are the issues I have with Canada. | |
| And I like our friends to the North. | |
| I do. | |
| And they don't like that Donald Trump keeps talking about Canada being a 51st state. | |
| However, there are legitimate criticisms for the U.S. to have of Canada. | |
| You probably don't know, you know, seed companies, for example, a very big business, agriculture business in the U.S. seeds are not allowed to be imported into Canada at all. | |
| Did you know that? | |
| If you want to talk about tariffs, well, they put tariffs on our poultry and agriculture. | |
| Okay, we're not putting tariffs on them. | |
| And and this is the same thing is happening in the European Union. | |
| The same thing's happening in countries like India. | |
| We know China, what they're up to. | |
| And that's why President Trump has come out with a new policy. | |
| It's called reciprocal tariffs. | |
| And if you're gonna put tariffs on our products, we're gonna put tariffs on your products. | |
| Now, it gets up to be a bigger issue for Canada. | |
| You know, every NATO nation is supposed to put in a percentage of their GDP into the organization for defense. | |
| And Canada doesn't pay its fair share. | |
| And I don't care that little Justin and the people of Canada, if if they don't want our friendship and and they just want us to pay the tariffs and not them. | |
| And if they want to provide for their own national defense, they can. | |
| And if if they want a trade war, they can keep starting it. | |
| But at the end of the day, I think it's in their best interest to get along with the United States. | |
| And then there's this misconception of Donald Trump, too. | |
| Tariffs, well, Donald Trump is negotiating. | |
| Remember, he's about to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and almost immediately he put a 30-day hiatus on it to give them an opportunity to fix the issues that he believes is wrong. | |
| And now with reciprocal tariffs, okay, if they want to continue to put tariffs on American products or ban American products, then we get to pick and choose what to do back to them. | |
| But I'll tell you this the president's not wrong. | |
| They would be a safer country and a better country aligned with the U.S. Now, do I think that's going to happen? | |
| No, I don't. | |
| But does the president do this to probably irritate little Justin? | |
| I think he probably does, yeah. | |
| And I find it entertaining. | |
| Um, but them being called out for their unfair trade practices is legitimate. | |
| Uh, all right, let's get to our busy phones. | |
| Uh, let us say hi to Blake in Alabama. | |
| What's up, Blake? | |
| How are you? | |
| I'm doing good, Sean. | |
| How are you doing, man? | |
| I'm good. | |
| What's going on? | |
| Hey, uh, I know Trump is, you know, going to uh rebudget the uh the Fed. | |
| And there's been concerns amongst some veterans that I've talked to, and uh they think that that's going to affect the VA and outside referrals for doctors and stuff. | |
| I was wondering if you heard anything about if that's going to affect the out uh seeking doctors outside of the VA, or is that gonna make us use the doctors at the VA. | |
| I I missed the last part of your statement. | |
| What's the question again? | |
| Oh you change will the VA changed. | |
| Remember Trump did change the VA his first term and he's allowing veterans, if they're not getting care in a timely manner, they have the option of going gave them the option to go to other providers and that the government would handle the cost. | |
| And that's not if if you recall there were two sets of books during the Obama years. | |
| Remember and you know when people actually applied for assistance they were finding that you know they'd they weren't getting callbacks for a year or two years later and in some cases people were dead you know and a lot of medical treatment can't wait a year or two. | |
| You got to get on it right away. | |
| And so that was definitely one option. | |
| Do I think you know well let's put it this way in my interview with both President Trump and Elon Musk I asked directly about social security of Medicare. | |
| But I hope you I hope you'll tune in okay appreciate the call. | |
| 800 941 Sean. | |
| Alright Don next Iowa on the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Hey Don, how are you? | |
| Glad you called hi Sean thank you for taking my call in the Thank you what's going on the the uh spirit of the uh fourth anniversary of the passing of Rush Limbaugh Mega Ditto see you, sir. | |
| I didn't know it was the fourth anniversary it seems like forever, doesn't it? | |
| Um his voice is so dearly missed. | |
| I I looked forward daily to his voice and then uh finished by your voice and and and uh boy it just seems like forever you know the the the thing is is I can tell you this he so loved this country and I said this at the time you know we learned a lot about Rush in that year last year of his life when he was sick. | |
| I mean, I guess people you've seen the movie, the bucket list and people have a list. | |
| I want to travel here. | |
| I want to do this. | |
| I want to do this. | |
| And I know for a fact, and Rush didn't talk about it much, but I know that he would get well enough and still be feeling horrible, just well enough that he could get back on the air, which tells me that his bucket list was what he was doing every day and what he loved to do, which was to be with all of you and all of us. | |
| And I know he'd be very proud that the country... | |
| you know made a a coarse correction here and that all of you made that happen. | |
| And uh learning from him all those years as we all did, you know what helped all of us. | |
| I suspect you uh both are cut from the same cloth though in that respect so um like I said it's you know it it's been a long time and I appreciate it very much. | |
| So I called because over the weekend they've been playing clips of Barack Obama sounding like Donald Trump in talking about avoiding and seeking out waste, fraud and abuse. | |
| And then I look up and find articles from July of 2010 where the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post are commenting about Barack Obama using NASA for Muslim outreach. | |
| And I thought, well, that kind of goes in line with what Joe Biden did with using FEMA for relief for illegal immigrants and not having enough funding to take care of Americans that so badly needed it, which are finally getting that thanks to Donald Trump. | |
| You could actually take it back further because we played cuts. | |
| earlier al gore and we have clinton cuts and you know this this goes back decades and republicans used to run on the mantra eliminate waste fraud and abuse etc and this is the first time that it's really gonna happen i believe this is we're going to win this fight and they can use the courts all they want they're not going to win this fight and republicans will codify all of this into law and and you know what what they have done frankly is | |
| morally repugnant repulsive and and frankly i just consider it stealing and they did it and they hid what they were doing and they didn't let the with the American people and they're just angry they got found out. | |
| Absolutely Joe Biden selling off half the national oil reserve and then taking it out of the uh military spending to replace it. | |
| That's corruption. | |
| And so many other places that we can point to. | |
| I I you know, I I'd be lost to to think of them all. | |
| But i it's about time the American people voted for uh Donald Trump to place uh um um Musk exactly where he's at. | |
| We voted overwhelmingly with a majority vote with a popular vote for this to happen. | |
| Let Elon Musk take and open up and find all this fraud and abuse and expose it, and we will find a lot of politicians are going to be in trouble. | |
| Yeah, totally agree. | |
| Uh anyway, my friend, God bless you. | |
| This is this is why I say this is this could be the most consequential and transformational presidency in our lifetime, because I really believe it. | |
| Uh anyway, thank you, my friend. | |
| 800 941 Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Uh let's say hi to Chris in New Mexico. | |
| Hey, Chris, apparently you're a trucker. | |
| Uh breaker one nine, what's going on, sir? | |
| And thank you for what you do. | |
| Well, just working. | |
| Anyway, I just uh I know you had mentioned previously that uh you know the president was working a lot, which is obvious, and uh that he doesn't get much sleep, and believe me, I don't pretend to tell a grown man what to do, | |
| and certainly not the president of the United States, but out here on the road, you know, we got rules and regs we gotta go by nowadays as far as how long we can work, you know, like you can do a 14 hour day and you're required to get a 10 hour break. | |
| So I know that's the one. | |
| Well, in in your business, I mean they have very stringent requirements, and you've got to be safe on the road. | |
| Uh you know, people don't understand, you know, how vital to the supply chain it is what truckers do. | |
| And you know, if we don't have farmers and we don't have ranchers, we don't have truckers, and we don't have all these people, you know, we we if we have empty store shelves and we're starving. | |
| And you know what, frankly, it's uh just a very, very difficult job, and your job has been made more difficult by the high cost of energy over the last number of years, and hopefully we can move towards energy dominance. | |
| It's not something you don't snap your fingers and and start producing oil and gas overnight. | |
| It's a process, but the president's moving at the speed of light to get that process moving as quickly as possible. | |
| Anyway, my friend, glad for what you're out there doing. | |
| Thank you, my and and uh we appreciate your call. | |
| We have one minute left. | |
| Joe in South Dakota will give that last minute to you, Joe. | |
| Take full advantage of it. | |
| Hey, Sean, regarding Doge, Chuck Schumer said that um, of course we know there's waste and fraud, but they did nothing about it. | |
| My point though, I wanted to call it out was regarding Palestine or the Palestinians, I should say, and Gaza. | |
| They acquired Gaza, what, in two thousand and six, and they turned it into a dump. | |
| Um if they want to make a difference for their lives, somebody there needs to step up to make a difference. | |
| And I just saddens me the amount of sympathy that goes to the Palestinians. | |
| I'm sure there's great people there, but it saddens me uh regarding what occurs with Israel, and they are asked to give and give and give. | |
| They gave up Gaza for peace. | |
| Uh Israelis lost their homes and were forcibly removed from their homes, and then the place was turned into a dump. | |
| So I mean, what what is Israel supposed to do when you have the equivalent of based on their population size of 40,000 people murdered in a day? | |
| And I listened to these people that frankly sound pretty anti-Semitic to me, you know, uh, and they their moral clarity and compass is just non-existent because you know, when you look at the videos that I've seen of murder, kidnapping, | |
| rape, beheading torture, then you know, there is a moral imperative that Israel be able to survive as a country and not be destroyed and not have to live on the con under the constant, never-ending threat of missiles being fired, you know, into their country, and they have the right to self-determination and to defend themselves and the United States as their closest ally. | |
| They're not asking for anything but our moral support and for us to sell them weapons. | |
| That's all they want. | |
| And I think the president made the right decision providing the weaponry that Joe Biden and Kamal Harris would not provide. | |
| Anyway, I wish I did have more time, but I am glad you're out there. | |
| And speaking of Israel, look, this all started October 7th, 2023, and they have been on a war footing, and and they're battling, you know, enemies that surround them. | |
| And as a result, tens and tens of thousands of Israelis have been displaced from their homes. | |
| They don't have bare necessities because of the lingering horrors of war. | |
| Thank goodness we have partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they are there on the ground in the holy land supporting those people in need and refugees, you know, from these war-torn areas, first responders, volunteers, wounded soldiers, even elderly Holocaust survivors and families that have lost everything. | |
| And the the government is not in a position that they they can put humanitarianism first. | |
| They've they've got to survive. | |
| And whatever you can do to bless the people of Israel as they battle radical Islamic terrorism is greatly needed. | |
