Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour.
Toll free, our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, had I not seen the video, this next story we're gonna tell you, I I may not have even believed it.
And and if I didn't do a deeper dive into what is now becoming a a bit of a scary phenomenon, I wouldn't even I I wouldn't have believed what that we'd be covering this, but here we are covering this.
And even Newsweek has picked up on it.
And let me give it the headline.
It's MAGA influences influencers that are targeted by swatting calls.
And multiple conservative MAGA figures have said they have been victims of so-called swatting incidents at their homes.
And they go through a list of people that have been victims of this.
It has now resulted in the new FBI director, Cash Patel, addressing it publicly, saying, I want to address the alarming rise in quote swatting incidents, targeting media figures.
I mean, I gotta wonder if I'm on the list.
I have no idea.
And the FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are are already taking action to investigate, hold those responsible accountable.
This isn't about politics.
Uh weaponiz weaponizing law enforcement against any American is not only morally reprehensible, but it's endangering lives, including those of our officers.
It will not be tolerated.
We are fully committed to working with local law enforcement to crack down on these crimes.
Now, what am I specifically talking about?
Uh Joe Pags, friend of mine, radio talk show host.
He's I think he's been in the business as long, if not longer than I've been in the business.
I'll ask him in a second, released a video.
And there is somebody with a long rifle, you know, looks like he's in tactical gear on his home uh security camera about 2 30 in the morning, and he's released the tape.
And he's, you know, and there are a number of them, I think in total, six or seven people.
And why are they coming to his house?
It makes no sense at all whatsoever, and it sounds surreal.
And then I started talking to Joe about it last night, and then I watched the video in total last night, and I was numbed by it because there's no reason.
Joe Pags is a great American, law abiding, you know, taxpaying, play by the rules type of guy.
And you know, why they came to his house is a mystery, and and hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on it.
It was about 2 35 on Wednesday morning.
He alert was alerted by security notification on his phone.
Most of us have those systems on our our phones.
He checked his outdoor camera and he sees an armed man at his door.
And in that moment, his adrenaline kicks in, calls 911, which was the right thing to do, you know, then gets his own rifles out, and which is also the right thing to do.
In my opinion, when somebody shows up at 235 in the morning, it's it's likely not a good thing.
Now, Joe Pags broke no laws.
He's under no investigation at all.
He did get in contact with the FBI director, which resulted in this statement.
And anyway, Joe Peggs is with us.
Walk us through, so it's 235 in the morning, and you're like me.
You you're a night owl.
You stay up late at night, and your phone gets the alert.
Okay, I've had that happen.
Uh at my old house, it would happen if a deer walked In my backyard.
That would happen occasionally.
And and you pay attention, you find out it's a deer, you go back to bed.
But in this case, you see a guy with a long rifle at your door, and then there are other guys.
How many guys in total were there?
Seven.
Seven guys, tactical gear, long rifles, show up at your house at two thirty-five in the morning.
What for?
Right.
Well, I I'm sitting in my production studio like you, and and the people listening probably don't know this.
You and I have known each other twenty some odd years.
We used to chat on AOL instant messenger at two and three o'clock in the morning.
So what's true?
Um now you're now you're aging both of us.
Well, we we don't want to miss anything if that's gonna happen overnight.
So I get that indication.
I see a man with what looks like an AR-15, I've got an AR-15, I know what they look like, and and he's at my front door.
Now I've got to figure out is this a bad guy that wants to kill the family?
Is this a police officer that was sent here by somebody?
What do I do?
And and you know, you you calculate all that in about a second, Sean, and then you make the decision, although my guns are five feet away from me.
Do I grab a gun and go out there?
I or what do I do?
I called 911.
I said, Are you at my house?
Here's my address, this is who I am.
Yes, we are.
We had a report of dogs were shot and killed, family's scared to death, they're hiding, they need help.
I said, Well, none of that's happening.
There's no peril at my house.
Nobody is is under attack, we're fine.
This is obviously a sweating.
Tell him to put the gun, because I only saw the one officer said, make him put the gun barrel down.
I'll come out with my hands up with you on the phone, and we'll defuse this right away.
But I walked out of my production studio in my backyard, Sean, I saw flashlights.
So now there are a bunch of guys in my backyard, bunch of guys in my front yard, and I had no idea what the hell was going on.
Thankfully, they do know who I am.
I've been in this area a long time in this part of Texas.
And when I walked out, we we defused they were still very on edge.
You know, they're ready to go to protect the house and the family.
But as you as you spelled out very wisely, they wanted to kill me in my doorway to shut me up, and then they wanted a cop to do it to make the police look bad.
This is a two-right.
So I I want to explain to people what this means that that you were targeted by somebody or some group, and they call the police and they make a false report, and the police go in, adrenaline, you know, racing through their veins for the very purpose of creating what it would naturally be a confrontational situation because they have guns drawn based on the nature of the call.
Fair assessment?
Absolutely right.
They they want it to be death by cop.
I don't Sean, this wasn't to scare me.
You send a tactical team to my house at 2 35 in the morning.
They hope I walk out and do something stupid, end up dead, who'll say, Oh my god, it was a bad accident.
Oh, and look how bad the police are that they killed this innocent guy at his house.
Uh I would give the advice to anybody listening right now, call 911, find out what's going on.
Uh it easily.
You and I, both second amendment guys.
We would grab our guns and protect our families until we died.
But I had to know who was there before I took that sort of action, and and thank God a 911 was very upfront with me, said what was going on, and we were able to defuse it.
But I do believe a bad actor somewhere who wants you to shut up and me to shut up and other voices like ours to shut up, they would like to have seen me dead that night, and it's only two days ago.
I'm still processing it to be honest.
No, I mean, I'm really sorry that you went through this.
The the question I have is are we capable of of finding the person or persons responsible that sent the police there under false pretenses?
Are we able to find out the people that did this to you?
I mean, and you know, we're gonna put the video on Hannity.com, you can watch it yourself.
This is like a setup, a setup confrontation that is extraordinarily dangerous.
Well, uh it is.
Uh well, the answer your first question.
Um uh it was it was seven police officers.
Did they do can they track the person down?
When I talked to the captain the next day, and we set a mechanism up so that this can never happen again in my house.
So if they try it, we have a we have a system now in place.
But the answer was no, because it's V OIP.
It was some Google phone number that could have been Sean, it could have been somebody in Ukraine.
It could have been somebody anywhere on this planet saying they were in my house and in distress.
And you're right, I am a loser the the same way you are, in that we want to make sure we don't miss anything.
We are people who want to do the best show we can, and we generally speaking, don't leave the house much.
So they probably knew that I would be there.
Thankfully, I stay up too late and so do you.
So I was aware when the camera went off.
Had I been asleep, I think there would have been seven sheriff deputies with guns out inside my house.
I mean, honestly, that that is unbelievable.
That really is unbelievable.
Now that you know what happened, and then it sounds to me like we're not gonna be able to find the perpetrators.
Is that what you're telling me?
Well, I don't know.
I don't want the technology today, Sean Attract on VOIP, but when they're using the internet address and internet phone number, it's very, very hard because you can spoof it.
You can say that you're in one place when you're really in a very different place.
Here's the scariest part.
It was already scary enough, right?
I'm standing outside with my hands up on 911 with the dispatch, as I've got seven guys with guns that that are, you know, ready to go if something happens.
They say the complaint is still on the line with dispatch.
I said, Well, keep him on the line.
Find out who the hell he is.
He's obviously not here.
Let's make this stop right now where we are.
And the only follow-up I got was that the next day was that it was a Google phone call, a phone number or a VOIP, some sort of an IT phone number that it was almost untraceable.
Now cash is involved, your friend and mine.
And now with him involved, maybe on the federal side, they've got more technology that you and I don't know about where they can track these people down.
I pray that they can, because this isn't okay.
You know, and it's sad because the last thing that police officers want to do is get involved in a shooting and and a situation or a confrontation that is all based on a false premise, like is what happened here.
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with our friend of radio talk show host Joe Paggs, who was swatted now, Cash Patel, the FBI director has weighed in on this, and uh this has got to stop, or somebody's gonna get killed.
We gotta really, really end this and and nip this in the bud.
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.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict to a Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
And he was squatted uh just this week, and the video is on Hannity.com.
You said you worked out with local law enforcement a plan that this can happen again, and and maybe conservatives.
And I'm it's not just you, it's conservative influencers or or people on social media.
Uh it's prominent people like yourself.
Um, what is the plan that maybe you can work out?
Maybe I need to be a little more proactive and and get ahead of the ahead of this uh and and learn from my friends so that it doesn't happen to me and the people that I love and care about.
Although I'm a loner and I live alone.
I'm a total I I am a bigger loser than you, I will say that.
A much bigger loser.
Oh, come on.
I don't think so.
No, it's absolutely it's uh ask Linda.
Linda, true or false.
Who's the bigger loser?
Well, Linda and I talk about it all the time.
If you never that, so I'm not sure.
This is this is very tough.
I'm very good friends with both of you.
I don't think I can say either one of you are losers.
I think you're very strong conservative men who just being delicate and diplomatic.
Who's the biggest loser?
Didn't you ask me to look within myself and get to know the good book and be kinder to be a Christian?
And here I am.
Okay, I want you to go back to the honest Linda just for 30 seconds.
Who's the biggest loser?
I can't answer that question.
No, you can.
You're afraid to.
I can't believe you're wimping out.
I can't believe it.
What's happened to you?
I can't do it.
I can't.
She gets emails and texts from me in the middle of the night, just like she does.
This is true.
I will say that you and Joe both are you might be tied for how many texts I get at three in the morning, because you both love to text at three in the morning.
You know, we gotta get you on our rapid radios, walkie talkie.
So, you know, and we'll we'll plan different days where we'll alternate and you you know, you can use the rapid radio to to wake her up, you know.
Absolutely so tell me what you did with with local law enforcement.
Yeah, well, I spent some time with him.
Uh, the sheriff was actually at some sort of a a get together in Austin.
So I didn't talk to him directly, although he's ready to call me back anytime I want.
I talked to his next in command, and I said, This is what we have to do to defuse this and stop this next time.
Here's my name, here's my cell, here's my house number, here's my wife's number.
If somebody calls in something like this at my house, knowing that they're that they're apt to do this again, you call me.
If you don't get me, you call my wife.
If you don't get my wife, then come to the house.
And it and and that's just for us, because uh the regular person in my county is gonna get the immediate service that they expect every time they call.
But now that we know that I'm on this list and that I'm a target, this is the best way to not waste their resources, not put anybody's life in danger, and not have somebody show up, you know, at 2 30 in the morning, ready to kill somebody to save me and my family, and that's somebody that they're that they might end up killing is me.
So I I think that plane is probably one that would work very well.
Man, oh man.
Uh and was your family with you?
I don't know.
I don't even know if I should ask you that question, to be honest.
They were in bed.
They were asleep.
And and um, you know, the dog started barking, and my wife said, What's going on?
I said, get back in the in the bedroom.
Um, I think we're being swatted.
We're gonna be safe.
I'm gonna work this all out.
Just stay stay out of harm.
By the by the way, if you're a woke liberal, you're acting like Fred Flintstone and Bam Bam by taking charge of security in your family.
I'm just saying.
I know.
And in the woke world, here, honey, you go down and deal with the confrontation.
I'm gonna stay in bed.
Honey, here's the gun and the in the phone.
I'll be under the bed.
Let me know when they leave.
No, no, yeah.
Here's my gun.
I taught you how to use it about a year ago.
You might hopefully you remember what I taught you.
Right, exactly.
No, no, uh uh at that point, I'm the protector, I'm the man of the house, I'll handle it, I'll let you know when it's over.
And sorry, I'm old school like you.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
100%.
So it all worked out well.
We've got a system in place now, they can't do it to me again.
Anybody out there who goes through a situation like this, please take my advice, even with the with the adrenaline pumping, call 911.
First question is, are you at my house?
If so, why?
If they're not, that's a different situation, Sean.
If it were if that was not the the police that night, then I have to take different action to protect my family.
Oh man, I uh I'm seriously, we've been friends a long time.
I'm so sorry you went through this.
The video is chilling.
We have it up on Hannity.com if you want to take a look at it.
And I, you know, uh I mean, it shows you that there are people in this world that want to create, you know, as much chaos, danger, and even you know, a situation that could result in death if if you let them.
Look what they're doing to poor Elon Musk.
They're shooting up his his Tesla dealerships, they're they're you know, firebombing his his charging stations, they're making death threats against this guy.
What has he done to you know, garner so much hate, which is why we're starting our contest Monday, and we're gonna give away a Tesla on this show.
Uh and by the way, you can register and and uh I I would not be unhappy if you want it.
Joe Pags, we love you.
We're glad you're safe.
Thanks for you know, alerting this audience to this happening so people understand it.
It's scary.
Thank you, by the way, for taking my text that night.
We did speak that night.
You were very, very gracious and nice, and I'm glad you looked after my family and me that night.
I appreciate you.
Uh listen, I appreciate you too.
I'm probably the only person you can call that late at night that's guaranteed to be up.
Uh I'm just glad you're safe, my friend.
God bless you.
Talking about radicalism on the left and burulent hatred on the left.
Well, Chucky Schumer was on MSDNC last night and uh calling Republicans bastards.
Uh the poor old soul, who I think is losing his mind, uh, is really just upset because he's trying to cling on to power.
And we played yesterday, Chuck Schumer in the past had called for an end to waste fraud and abuse in government.
Uh that Chuck Schumer is long dead and gone.
He doesn't exist anymore.
Uh, we played Chuck Schumer uh also talking about cutting out fraud in Medicare.
In other words, he sounds like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, but that Schumer no longer exists because the current Schumer only cares about one thing, and that's his own power and clinging to it any way possible.
Anyway, here's him calling Republicans bastards because the Schumer shutdown uh uh ended up being the Schumer surrender.
Listen.
To have the conflict on the on the best ground we have, summed up in a sentence, that they're making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
It's much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, which to divert people from the number one issue we have against these bastards.
Sorry, these people, um, which is not only all these cuts, but they're ruining democracy.
And one other thing on a shutdown.
On a shutdown, the courts could close or or at least be totally, totally disabled.
And the courts are one of the best ways we've had to go after these guys.
I I mean it's really unbelievable.
And then you got, you know, remember, this is the party that can will never stop talking about January 6th.
But yet the same group of people that ignored the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, and caused billions of property damage.
There was the no committee set up to investigate this.
We had, you know, uh uh we had so many hours of videotape evidence we could have convicted everyone involved in it.
Uh there was no interest on the part of Democrats.
And you know, the only the only the only time they seem to care, and it's it's seemed to, it's not in reality, uh, is if it's a Republican that they can bludgeon politically.
And they won't tell you the whole truth about January 6th.
We have told you about the troops that Donald Trump authorized that in writing Muriel Bowser declined to bring up.
We told you about the police chief, and we told you that the actual driver of Donald Trump's car uh uh testified that he never tried to commandeer the vehicle.
But you know, here's Maxime Water, you know, talking about civil war in America.
I'm worried that Trump is on the edge of creating a civil war.
He alluded to it more than once.
What does Trump expect?
Oh, I believe he expects violence.
I believe he expects confrontation.
I believe he's working toward a civil war.
We're not gonna get goaded.
We're not gonna get tricked into that.
Not only are they planning on a civil war if they have to do that, uh, but he's spelling it out specifically how and what they're going to do, and how he's gonna get revenge, how he's going to attack his enemies.
He is capable of starting a civil war.
He must be impeached, he must be stopped now.
Wow.
Let's take a little trip down memory lane, shall we?
And this was uh during Trump's first term, and the likes of uh Maxie Martyrs get in their face, follow them into grocery stores and gas stations.
Remember this?
You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth.
Don't see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant in a department store at a gasoline station.
You get out and you fan, and you press back on them, and you found them they're not welcome.
The people are gonna turn on them, they're gonna protest, they're gonna uh absolutely harass them until they decide that they're gonna tell the president, no, I can't hang with you.
I did not threaten his constituents, his supporters.
Uh I do that all the time, but I didn't do it that time.
This is a bunch of scumbags.
That's what they are.
And with this kind of inspiration, I will go and take Trump out tonight.
Oh, okay.
I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Oh, that was Madonna.
That wasn't her.
Uh, this is how sick the radical left is.
This is how triggered they are.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
800, 941 Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Brady in Michigan.
Brady, hi, how are you?
Happy Friday.
Glad you called.
How are you, Sean?
Uh, I'm good.
What's going on?
Uh, I just wanted to call and talk about Chuck Schumer.
Um, how much of a spineless person and seemingly self-righteous after uh he conceded saying that he was gonna vote yes, uh trying to make himself look like a proverbial savior.
Well, I mean, Chuck Schumer's in a box.
Chuck Schumer cares about one thing.
You know, we used to, you know, joke about the fact the most dangerous place in New York City was uh any any distance between Chuck Schumer and a television camera.
I mean, Chuck Schumer cares about one thing, and that is his power.
And if it means, you know, giving in to a radicalized party and contradicting every past position he's ever had, he's gonna do it.
And he's doing it now in real time.
And uh, and and look, he's now he the the one thing he doesn't want to lose is that power.
And so if they pull him further and further to the Radical left, that's what he's gonna do.
Yeah, and speaking about losing, Sean, uh, their situation, it's a lose lose for them.
If they don't pass the CR, that means Doge will get a clear shot at pretty much anything that they want.
If they vote yes, then the Trump agenda continues to prosper.
Well, I mean, that this is the thing.
What are they so angry about?
Um, you know, w at this point, everything that they're saying is pretty much falling on deaf ears.
And and I think the American people, and uh, we learned this during the election, are very hip to the fact that they spend every waking minute, every single second, every minute, every hour of every 24 hour day just raging on Donald Trump, and you know, it's falling on deaf ears at this point.
People know where they're coming from.
And and people don't trust the legacy state run media mob.
That's why I say they're dead.
They just don't know it yet.
They have no influence.
If they had influence, Donald Trump never would have been elected president again.
And one of the reasons is that they lie and they don't tell truth, and now people have more options than ever before.
Alternative media, uh, talk radio, Fox News, uh podcasting, social media.
I mean, uh it's it's it's now we are now able to bypass any influence they may have had.
And that's why I say to people in this industry if you want to be successful, you better tell your audience some truth.
And and you better, you know, you you better give them news information opinions that are different than what they're getting everywhere else, because they've had a monopoly forever.
And now that monopoly's been broken, and the trust is gone, and they have earned people's distrust.
You know, I have to I have to earn your trust every day.
And and we try and we work hard to do that.
Uh anyway, my friend, you have a great weekend.
Glad you called.
Uh let us say hi to Ken in California.
Oh no, Ken wants to talk about why do you want to talk about the view?
I thought we I thought this issue was settled.
We're done.
Oh, no way.
No way it's not done.
No, no way.
No, it doesn't matter what you want, Hannity.
It's if it's not over until we say it's over.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, I think you ought to do a pr uh uh quid pro quo with them.
You know, they want you you go onto the view and then you get Linda and Katie and Baby James, and you guys all sit down and you get Sonny Austin there, or you get Whoopi there, and you trade off.
You so you uh you you don't think I can handle them on my own, is that what you're suggesting?
Listen, I know I know I can it's uh I've been on the show.
I've been on the show numerous times.
I haven't been on the show many years, though.
And I gave up going on the show for a good reason.
I've it was a colossal waste of my time.
Yeah, but you should bring them out of your show, and the only way to do that is if you go over there.
I'm willing to attempt that.
I might be willing to attempt that.
Awesome.
Let me s let me that that I think is the most tenable idea.
And you know, to watch and listen to them, you know, but then I run a risk, and I'm gonna tell you what the risk is because they're gonna say all this crap that's not true, and then I'm in a bad position.
Because now if I interrupt them, every every time they get something wrong, then I seem like a jackass.
All right.
So then what is it?
It's gonna be five on one.
So let's assume all five of them are just expressing rage and and hatred and irrational thoughts or inf inaccurate things about Donald Trump.
If I interrupt them, then people will go all over social media.
Hannity can't keep his big fat mouth shut and they'd be right.
Or I can sit there and not correct them.
Why is Hannity allowing them to say all these lies?
I mean, I can't win for losing in that situation.
You have to correct them.
There's you can't sit back and let wrong be wrong.
No, all right.
So the so if they say one sentence, I say that's not true.
You're not letting me finish.
Uh I mean, that's horrible television.
Not for us.
All right.
Well said.
Touche, I got I got I got trumped by my callers.
Unbelievable.
Linda, you know, you know exactly the situation I'm talking about.
Because if I if if somebody's telling lies and I keep interrupting them, then people get mad that I'm interruptive.
And then if I don't counter every lie, then another group of people are gonna be pissed off that I'm not correcting them and stopping them.
So I in that situation when you know people are irrational and won't speak truth, I am in the worst position imaginable, and I'm never gonna please everybody.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's your first mistake, right?
Trying to please everybody.
I mean, that's the whole that's the whole thing.
Well, I mean, I'm gonna piss off half of my regular audience.
You're gonna piss off everybody anyway.
I mean, somebody's always mad because that's just the state of things.
Everybody's somebody's always pissed off at something.
And most of the times it's pretty silly when you get right down to it.
I mean, I'm not innocent of that either, but I think you know.
I'm thinking of sending you down, you know, maybe to one of these uh uh uh Khalid Mahmood protests that they go.
Oh, listen, I'll want to go there.
Absolutely.
I can't unless I send like 15 security guards with you.
I don't need to be able to do that.
I don't need security.
How are you doing?
What are you here for?
How much you making?
How much do they pay you?
Don't you have things to do?
Did mommy and daddy pay for your education?
By the way, that mask on your face.
I still know who you are.
P.S. Oh, you're so brave.
That would just be like the start.
That's just a start.
You know, you you talk tough on the radio.
I will say that.
Definitely talking tough.
I don't talk tough on the radio.
I'm I'm I'm actually just being honest.
You know, I do take the subway.
I do walk through New York City.
It is ridiculous.
I think they were talking about it yesterday.
No, no, no.
Don't get don't get distracted with what you offer.
I'm not getting distracted.
I offer to get you out of the subway and pay for a car.
That's not my point.
My point is regular people living their regular life cannot do it because paid activists are blocking the streets.
They're blocking the subway.
It takes two and three hours to do things that should take 15 minutes because there's no accountability.
I am praying that the president sends in some sort of National Guard or strong police presence and says, You have the right to actually arrest these people and lock them up and not like just bands.
I mean, did you see the officers arresting the people that were sitting in Trump Tower yesterday?
They were smiling with them.
They were making jokes with them.
I'm like, these are anti-Semites.
What are you doing?
It's not, it's not funning games.
They don't have any choice because they're under scrutiny.
And they they can barely do their jobs.
Anyway, 800-941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh I'm asking all of you to do something that will benefit not just you, not just your family today, but generations to come.
And that is I want you to go to legacybox.com slash Hannity.
And if you go there today, you will save 50% off.
And what's going to happen next?
They're going to send you a big box.
You're going to be like, Hannity, why did I I got 50% off a box?
Yes, you're getting 50% off your box.
And you're going to get 50% off the digitizing, hand digitizing of all of your family memories.
Then the next thing you're going to do is go up in your attic.
You're going to go into your closets.
You're going to go into the basement.
You're going to go into the garage, and you're going to find every single possible family video tape, camcorder tape, film reel, every picture, every negative that you have.
And you're going to send it to Legacy Box.
You're going to pack it up.
You'll get the originals back, but you'll also uh preserve in perpetuity all these family memories.
Now the beauty is you get other family members to put their stuff in the box too, and all these memories will be preserved.
And then you sit down one night and you start watching some of the videos, and it's going to be a lot of fun, bring back a lot of memories, and it might even be, you know, sad in some respects, but cool in other respects because you'll get to see and hear from people that have passed on, people that you loved in your life, like grandma, grandpa, maybe mom and dad that passed on.
And here's the best, best part.
And this is the genius behind Nick and Adam that started the company in their college dorm over a decade ago is that generations from now, your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren will know what you look like and what you sounded like.
And you're giving them a gift that that I think all of us wish we had ourselves.
Legacybox.com slash Hannity, 50% off.

You know, on a regular morning, a U.S. Army veteran named Brian was with his family and got viciously attacked by a man with a steel pipe.
Now, Brian was forced to defend himself with his firearm.
In today's Twisted America, he was the one that was charged with first degree murder and put in jail.
Now, if this is how they treated a trained soldier who defended our country, imagine what they could do to you.
Brian did remember that he is a proud member of the USCCA and has a USCCA membership.
He reached out to the USCCA, was immediately connected with a highly skilled legal team.
They got the charges dropped and they saved him from financial ruin.
I tell you the story because this is exactly why I've been a proud member of the USCCA for nine years, and I've teamed up with them.
And right now, they're giving you six chances to win twelve hundred bucks for the firearm of your choice.
Just go to DefendFamily.com.
Right now, you get six chances to win the firearm of your choice and a membership offer for you, my listeners.
