	So Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
	Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
	All right, news round of information overload hour.
	We'll take calls uh for the better part of this hour.
	800 941 Sean is our number on this Friday.
	And uh so we've been doing this Tesla contest and for a little over a month, and I'll tell you why I did it very simply, is I just cannot stand when people are bullied, treated so fundamentally unfairly,
	and this effort to intimidate, harass, hurt, threaten not only Elon Musk, there's been assassination or calls for his assassination, but then we see these acts of domestic terrorism.
	We've seen Tesla dealerships have bullets fired into them.
	We've watched as charging stations have put ablaze.
	We've watched as you know, lots on Tesla dealerships that that those vehicles have been put ablaze.
	Uh we know that there's been doxing of Tesla owners.
	I mean, it's just and and of course the left, you know, they they say nothing.
	You know, the the the great January Sixers that said the summer of 2020, 574 riots were mostly peaceful.
	Uh there's such such hypocrites.
	And it really just infuriated me what they were doing.
	What has this man done?
	This man created SpaceX.
	This man has made it possible for hundreds and hundred hundreds of countries around the world to have much better communications with Starlink.
	This man has launched those satellites through SpaceX.
	This man has docked the International Space Station numerous times.
	And after Biden and Harris couldn't rescue the astronauts that were only supposed to be there a week after, you know, almost 300 days, it took Elon Musk and SpaceX who successfully, in every aspect of what he did here was dangerous, and he's the chief engineer of SpaceX to successfully go up, rescue them, and bring them home safely to their families.
	Thank God.
	Amazing feat.
	Now, this guy is also involved in and it's one it's actually an arm of Tesla, the robotic arm.
	I mean, we might see a day in our lifetime where menial tasks around the house like vacuuming and and doing the dishes might be done by a robot.
	I mean, that is now probably because of AI, our future.
	He has NeuroLink and he's working to help the blind.
	Again, using artificial intelligence.
	If you don't have Grok, his artificial intelligence, you do need to get it.
	It is it is fun.
	It is like wow.
	It will blow you away.
	You can ask it any question.
	If you ever want to think, don't.
	Just ask Rock, and it'll give you the answer.
	It's incredible.
	And anyway, so I decided that I was going to buy a Tesla.
	And then I decided, you know what?
	Let me up the ante a little bit.
	I didn't have any illusions that I could save Tesla.
	And I think Tesla will recover.
	Uh he said on his earnings call that he's going to be devoting more attention to that, less less attention to Doge, and let others take care of that.
	And he got it up and running, and we're now well over 150 billion dollars in waste fraud and abuse, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
	And just because he's friends with Trump and he's exposed Democrats for wasting that much hundreds of billions of our dollars, he's become hated.
	And for no good reason.
	This man has done a lot of good for society.
	Noral Link will hopefully one day help the blind see and and those with spinal cord injuries walk again.
	And I always thought, uh, electric cars, liberals like them.
	Uh I don't think they're gonna save the air.
	I didn't buy it for any environmental reason.
	I bought it, and when I found out about how great it was and test drove one, I'm like, wow.
	Over a thousand horsepower.
	I got the S plaid.
	It goes from zero to sixty in one point nine nine seconds.
	I'll never have to put a gallon of gas in that car.
	I have a charging station at my house, and I can charge it and keep it fully charged.
	It's perfect for my driving needs.
	Maybe, you know, it depends if you drive over the road a lot.
	You might be a little more difficult, but for me it's perfect.
	And it is just the greatest engineered car and greatest experience.
	Now, with Tesla's uh with the one I have, I literally I'll just put it in navigation and address, and I will hit basically auto drive, autopilot, and it will take me straight to that destination.
	If I park my car, went to a movie a couple Saturdays ago, I went to see the chosen.
	I actually went two weekends in a row, I saw two of them.
	I didn't see the third one yet.
	And I went there and I parked the car far away.
	And I get it at a movie theater, and I go to my Tesla app and you press a button, it says, Come to me.
	And the car, you see an image of your car driving itself, backing out of a parking space, and then slowly making its way right up to where I am, like a valet, and then I jump in my car, put in my destination, I auto-drive it home, and I don't even have to think about it.
	And by the way, it's a very smart machine.
	It knows exactly if I ever try to text and drive or just see see who's texting me, forget it.
	Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
	Won't let you.
	It's amazing technology.
	And I'm sure other cars are gonna try and steal all the technology out of it, but I I am the most advanced technologically the best engineered car I've ever had.
	So I I decided to give one away to a lucky winner.
	And we had people for a month signing up, word of the day, and we announced Monday the winner, and she's on the phone now.
	Her name is Verlin.
	And all I'll say is she's from California.
	I have no idea what she's doing out in California, but we'll ask her in a second.
	Verlin, first of all, congratulations.
	Thank you, Sean.
	I can't thank you enough.
	Um I have to tell you my birthday is Wednesday, and I grew up in a little town in North Dakota.
	I have eight brothers and sisters, and for our birthdays, we would get an angel food cake and one dollar.
	So winning this Tesla is quite an improvement.
	Did you now which which of I by the way I did see your beautiful note, so I do know the answer to the question before I ask it?
	You got the S plaid like I did.
	I did.
	I copied you.
	You made a great choice.
	This thing, you will it is like rocket ship.
	You can have fun with it.
	You're gonna love the self-driving, you're gonna love the valet.
	Come to me, you know, and the car backs out of a parking spot and comes to you.
	It's incredible technology.
	Way do you get it?
	And it's simple to use, it's not hard to figure out.
	Well, you know, I was a little intimidated.
	My husband is an electrical engineer and he designs a lot of computer things, and so he's very techy.
	And that's not my wheelhouse, but I have to tell you, I got to test drive it, and I actually got to keep one overnight.
	And um I got in there and you know, I don't know how to do the autopilot yet, um, or the come to me, or those fine features, but even just driving it, I was surprised how quickly I could learn some of the features on it.
	And it is so smooth and such a pleasure.
	I just I really, really am going to enjoy this.
	So thank you.
	It's wonderful.
	Well, um, I couldn't be happier for you.
	What were you driving up to this point?
	Well, in the past I had a Ford uh Eddie Barra Explorer, and then my sister moved to New York.
	She was out here in California, and then she moved to New York.
	And uh and so she sold me her two hundred, I mean her two thousand and eight accurate TSX.
	So that is what I've been driving.
	So I'm gonna go from a two thousand and eight car to this beautiful Model S cloud.
	Now you don't have to drive it fast.
	It just goes fast if you want it to go fast.
	You can drive it any way you want.
	And and you could pick, for example, in self-driving mode whether you want us to go with the speed limit or keep up with traffic or if you're in a hurry.
	I mean, they have those that that kind of options available.
	You got like a big cons computer screen in front of you.
	And it's it's it's it's just an amazing piece of technology.
	I I think you're gonna love it.
	Uh the one feature that really stands out the most is how safe it is.
	It really does.
	I mean, it's i i it will break for I I never touch the brakes on that car.
	When you take your foot off the accelerator, it just mmm just downshifts like immediately.
	And then uh you know, think about this.
	Never have a in California, what do you pay for a gallon of gasoline out there?
	Super unleaded, for example, like seven dollars a gallon, six dollars a gallon.
	Well, where I'm at, I think it's about five thirty-nine or something like that right now.
	Are you just that for regular or super?
	That actually is for super.
	So prices have since Donald Trump got in all well, I could tell you right now I pay about two dollars and seventy cents a gallon for uh regular here in in Florida, a little bit more for super, obviously.
	Yeah.
	No, that's really remarkable.
	I grew up in North Dakota, so like I said earlier, and yeah, there's nothing like you know, the cost of gas and the cost of homes and everything out here in LA area.
	It's it's crazy out here.
	Well, look, um and to everybody that that participated, I wish I could give one to everyone.
	Uh that would uh be cost prohibitive for me.
	I'm not as rich as Elon Musk.
	Um, however, uh I am so happy for you.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for participating in the contest, and uh I really wish you all the best with the car and I hope you enjoy it.
	Well, Sean, I I just thank you so much.
	My mom is uh giving you a heavenly hug from above because she always watched your show and she would say, He's so handsome.
	Did you did your mom need thicker glasses like the woman on my cousin visit Vinny?
	I know that Well, God bless your mom, I'm sure you miss her.
	And uh I did uh uh I listen, I'm just happy.
	I think you you're gonna love this car.
	I promise you.
	There's not one person that I've taken uh a ride with or put it you know, I've I've shown my kids, I've shown everybody in my life this car, and they're like, Oh my gosh.
	It just is it's it is it is that different.
	If you look online, you can see now again you're not gonna drive it at this speed, but it can be at a Corvette Z06, it can be a Bugatti, it can be to Lamborghini, it can beat a Porsche, it beats every muscle car you've ever heard of before.
	And and yet it drives like a regular sedan.
	Yeah, I do like speed, and it's very comfortable.
	And I've gone soaring in a plane twice, the one that didn't have an engine, and I mean I I love all that.
	That thrill that's gonna be a thrill for me.
	So Oh, you did a g you did a sl you did a glide.
	Do you did uh one of those rides?
	Yeah, I did.
	I did the glide, the plane was at the end.
	Oh boy.
	The first time I did it, they pulled us off a cliff.
	It was an auto winch that pulls you off the cliff and a thermal lift lifts the plane up, and then you just cruise around up there.
	And then uh the when I did that one, the plane right before me had crashed, and then I was in line to go next, and they said, Do you want to go?
	And I said, Yeah, yeah, why not?
	So that was the first time.
	You're a little more adventurous than me.
	I would never do what you did, ever.
	Under any circumstances.
	But listen, enjoy enjoy your S plaid.
	When do you get uh when do you get your model?
	When does it get delivered for your birthday?
	I guess your birthday is passing.
	Well, Wednesday's my birthday, so they say in one to three weeks.
	And if you ever come out here, I'll treat you to an in and out burger and fries.
	I've heard you like those.
	I love 'em.
	Don't like is not the right word.
	Love, love, animal style.
	You you got a deal.
	Anyway, Verlin, God bless you, appreciate you, and enjoy the new Tesla.
	I hope you enjoy it.
	Thank you, Sean.
	God bless you too.
	Uh, thank you.
	All right, quick break, right back when we come back.
	We'll hit the phones 800-941 Sean as we continue this Friday.
	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 fast.
	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 with 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 down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
	Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
	Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
	It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
	Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
	Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
	We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
	You put two and two together.
	Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
	Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
	I'm Leon Mafok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
	This is Fiasco Benghazi.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Yeah, that's right.
	Locker up.
	Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	Let's get to our busy phones.
	800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
	Raphael, Missouri, next Sean Hannity Show.
	Happy Friday, sir.
	Yes, how are you doing, Hannity?
	And uh thank you for taking my avid listener of you, my family and all of us.
	Um but the reason I'm calling is that my brothers and I, we've been talking for a while, and we're just like frustrated with the fact that all this fraud as was uncovered with the Social Security and IRS and all that, and money going to dead people, people that are too old, people that are not even born.
	And no one's been arrested.
	I mean, my sister, when my mother passed away, they deposited her last social security check into it.
	And my sister didn't know until she realized that she got a call from them saying that if she doesn't return that money, they're gonna issue a warrant for her arrest for fraud.
	I'm like, what?
	You know, and I thought it was just an isolated situation, but it also happened to my father-in-law when his mother passed away.
	They froze his account, threatened to put him in jail if he didn't return back the 780 dollars.
	Okay, now Doge uncovered all this fraud.
	These checks are going somewhere.
	Money's going somewhere, someone's getting it, somebody's catching it.
	Follow the money, and let's start arresting people.
	I know you're a good friend of Trump's.
	You he listens to the show.
	Let's start making examples of these politicians that go into office making two hundred and forty thousand a year, and within four years you're already multi-millionaires.
	Wonder where the money's coming from.
	If it were me, I'd be in jail right away.
	There's no it's or buttons.
	Uh I I am telling you right now, just knowing what I know about like Nancy Pelosi happens to be and her husband, the greatest stock pickers of all time.
	I don't buy that for a second.
	Uh I I I just my gut tells me it's it's complete BS.
	All right, 25 down to the top of the hour.
	Your calls are coming up this Friday straight ahead.
	800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
	Uh look, I I consider myself a little bit of a mini prepper.
	Uh, What does that mean?
	I have extra food, extra water.
	I I have self-defense.
	I have ammo.
	I've got everything in case in case in case in case in case.
	And I think it's a smart thing to do.
	We saw supply chain issues during COVID when it comes to pharmaceuticals, and I don't want to be caught caught short there.
	Now that's where Dr. Roland comes in, who I met, and he came up with the best solution that actually works, and every family needs a Jace case.
	What's a Jace case?
	It's a supply of emergency use prescription, antibiotics.
	They got a they got a whole list of things available for you.
	You can go to their website and check it out yourself.
	It's available for your family, for yourself, for peace of mind, and that means no waiting in line during a crisis because you will already have it.
	Fast, affordable, easy.
	You simply go to Jace J A S E dot com.
	You answer a few questions, a licensed doctor, reviews your information, and boom, the medications will be shipped straight to your door, and then you don't have to worry if you know the market gets slammed and and there's uh a rush on the market, and then your pharmacy says, Oh, sorry, we're out of that.
	Anyway, Jace is the fastest, most important, most affordable option on on the market today.
	I have my own Jace case, and I'm glad I finally got it.
	I should have thought of it before.
	And it gives me peace of mind, and I know I have my medications on hand just in case, and you could even take them with you when you travel.
	Anyway, take control of your health.
	Be prepared for a worst case scenario.

	That's J A S E dot com slash Hannity.
	Promo code Hannity, 25 bucks off and get your own Jace case.
	All right, let's get to our busy phones.
	Shall we?
	Uh let us say hi to Diane in in Texas.
	God bless Texas.
	What's up, Diane?
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Love Texas.
	Um, so I'm an ex-DEM from 2016.
	So I've been an X DEM now independent, although, you know, I voted for Trump three times.
	And I bailed from the Democrat Party in 2016, much earlier than a lot of those that have bailed in you know the last four years because of the Biden administration.
	But anyway, um I had uh kind of smile, but not really in a funny way, at what's going on with David Hogue saying that he's gonna primary some of the older Democrats, and then the DNC chair, um, can't remember his name right now.
	Uh Kenny David Hogue or Kev Martin.
	Yeah, saying that they're neutral arbiters of the process, the DNC process, which is a joke because of um like Rush called her Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz putting her thumb on the scale during 2016 against Bernie.
	So, you know, they're just doing the same stuff that they've been doing for a decade, and they don't even know how ridiculous they are.
	What do you think they don't know?
	Well, I I don't think they do.
	I don't really I don't think they realize how out of touch they are right now.
	And the ones that do are afraid of those that will come after them.
	Yeah.
	I think that's their problem.
	I I I literally think they're held captive by the radicals, and and they dare not speak out against them.
	And by the way, this is especially true about Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
	Do you think they're gonna take on the squad?
	Never.
	Not gonna happen.
	They're never gonna do it.
	I know, but um most people, even Democrats, don't really go with the squad.
	So they're just shooting themselves in the foot.
	I'm all in favor of that.
	Let them stay right where they are and and let good luck with them on where they're headed.
	I'm happy to.
	And AOC running in 2028, good luck.
	There's no way she could number one, if she even wins in her primary debate like a JD Vance or anyone.
	Uh good luck with that.
	Although I'm not sure what she's gonna do.
	I I could see her wanting to race to the presidency.
	I really could.
	Now, if she challenges Schumer, I think her odds are pretty good.
	And if she's running for president, I don't think her odds are as good, but it'll be somebody like her.
	The party in total has been been radicalized.
	The The squad, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Bernie, the the they're the they are the heart and soul that party.
	Thank you so much, uh, Diane in Texas.
	You have a great, great weekend.
	Uh Scott in Utah.
	Scott, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
	Um, I'm calling with a non-political question, even though I've been a Trump supporter my whole life, um, especially the last three years and Musk.
	But um my daughter, my three grandkids, and my son in law, he graduates from dental school in May, and they're moving to Alaska for three years to be a dentist.
	And I want to know what burner you recommend.
	I want to buy them a gun to send it up there for animals and for self-protection.
	The great question.
	I like them all and have them all.
	I even have some of their their models that they actually sent me a rifle that I I used to test and I love it.
	The the latest version, the CL version is probably the one that I would use for home defense and carry.
	Uh, but you really can't go wrong with any of them because they all use the same technology.
	And I would just recommend that you you go for it.
	And I think you're doing them a favor.
	I think every family should have burners in their home.
	And I also believe every family should have a firearm in their home.
	I mean, but if you if you can use the non-lethal option, you you're definitely gonna prevent a whole host of potential problems from arising.
	If you know, it's sort of like you're you you have to prove your innocence even in your own home in some states.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah, and I'm I'm a big gun enthusiast like you, and I just want to get them something to take to Alaska.
	So, but thank you for the for the recommendation.
	All right, my friend.
	I hope it I hope it helps.
	We appreciate you being here, and uh good luck to them.
	Uh you can't go wrong.
	BYRNA.com slash Hannity, you'll get 10% off, by the way.
	Uh back to our phones.
	Uh Rob, South Carolina.
	What's up, Rob?
	How are you?
	Happy Friday.
	Glad you called.
	Hey, Mr. Anony, thanks for taking the call.
	Doing well, thank you.
	Thank you.
	What's going on?
	Uh I was calling with an observation more than anything.
	I was in a conversation not too long ago with my son.
	He is a Baltimore County police officer in Maryland, and uh I am a recovering Marylander now living in South Carolina very happily, by the way.
	Um and we were talking about the sanctuary city status, and um the topic came up about Garcia not being convicted of any crimes.
	And he laughed and says to me, he says, Well, he absolutely won't be convicted of a crime because all we can do is hold him till the dangerous situation is over, and then we're told to let him go.
	He could have been pulled over like many other people, so it's really not about him.
	It's about the illegal immigration, the status they have, and a lot of the structure that I believe the liberals have put in place that if these guys do get arrested, they're never gonna get convicted.
	It's always gonna be a legend.
	Well, I mean, we do have people now, and we have law enforcement around the country that are now forced, even Newsom in California, sanctuary states, and with all the sanctuary c cities involved, they must now cooperate with ICE.
	So there's a new sheriff in town, and these states want the money that they get from the federal government, which is why I don't uh they're definitely gonna uh they're they're going to have to cooperate, whether they like it or not.
	Yeah, I think as long as they keep that money flow coming in, they're gonna go down with the ship because there's just so much money for them to be lost.
	Uh you look at the state of Baltimore as it sits and just the the silliness that's taken place there over a common sense.
	Um it gets a little scary to think that you're willing to put your own morals and values at that far at risk um in lieu of a dollar, which is what I see happening up in Maryland at the moment.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, you know, the fact that this guy, you know, is uh that it's the fact that the Democrats are so invested in this, and this is the hill they want to die on.
	I'm like, all right, well, go die on that hill.
	Good luck that with that.
	Uh the American people see this, and I think they're disgusted by it.
	I mean, they they've turned this guy first of all, they just lie about the case on so many different issues.
	And, you know, like we found out yesterday, oh, the guy was driving the car of uh a guy that was responsible for human smuggling, and he had a bunch of people in the back seat of the car.
	Uh and you know I I it is so obvious to me that this guy deserves what he got, but they don't care.
	And this is why I say they're putting the safety, well, the they're putting the so-called rights that are non-existent for people that don't respect our laws, border and sovereignty.
	They are putting that over the safety of Americans.
	And the same people that wouldn't even l you know, pick up a phone and call families that lost loved ones that were murdered, raped, um, victims of violent crime by by all the illegals as they sat idly by, silently, you know, a complicit with Biden Harris Mayorchus and never said control the border, enforce the laws of our country.
	That's all on them.
	They own that.
	You know, and now now Donald Trump is is stuck with the heavy lift of having to not only secure the border, but also get rid of you know the the millions of millions of people that didn't respect our laws, borders and sovereignty.
	It's hard.
	Anyway, my friend, appreciate it.
	Uh we go to the socialist utopia.
	I once lived there, New York.
	John, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
	Happy Friday.
	Hi, Sean.
	Thanks for taking the call.
	I wonder if you can question for me.
	It is there any reason that the administration and the Republicans can't play offense when it comes to executive orders.
	In other words, as soon as uh Trump signs an executive order, as soon as he puts the cap on the pen, why don't we have a Republican or conservative group challenge the law, judge shop or go to an attorney or a judge that is a uh constitutional judge and at least get the law implemented or the the the um well they they they have been winning in a lot of their cases, not all of them, but they've been winning, they even have five Supreme Court decisions.
	But I think the Supreme Court is is afraid now of their own shadow.
	It's very dangerous, you know.
	Uh and I worry about Chief Justice Roberts because I think he's thinking about his legacy and and uh doesn't want the court to be viewed as political.
	Whatever his motives are, they they they should not be a factor.
	There's only two things that he should factor into his decision making, and that is our constitution and and whether or not he's upholding the laws of our land.
	Period, end of sentence.
	And you know, I once they start worrying about legacy, it's usually over.
	Yeah, but but before it even gets to there, why not uh why what usually happens is an executive order gets signed, it gets challenged, they judge shop and they stop it, as you talked about earlier in the show.
	But why don't we just uh it it take that that tool away from them?
	We'll judge shop first, and then at least the the the thing gets implemented.
	It's a lot tougher to stop a you know uh something rolling downhill than it is before it even gets started.
	They'll appeal it, and they may, you know, they may win the appeal and it ultimately goes to the Supreme Court.
	But at least it's implemented first rather than just waiting, they challenge it, and now we gotta wait, and then we gotta appeal it.
	It seems like we're always playing defense when it comes to these executive orders rather than offense.
	Just remember this has always been and will forever remain a strategy of the left.
	When they lose elections, they can't win at the ballot box, they can't do it legislatively.
	This is their go-to method to implement their radicalism.
	Just understand it for what it is, and we just got to keep fighting.
	Unfortunately, you know, I I think legislation by the House and the Senate that would prevent them from judge shopping and letting these lower courts usurp the power, the constitutional authority of the president would be a good start.
	Right.
	Anyway, John, appreciate the call, my friend.
	You have a great, great weekend.
	Uh let us say hi to Kirk in Maryland, a real Marylander, I assume.
	What's up, Kirk?
	Hey Sean, how you doing?
	I'm good.
	What's going on?
	Um big fan, longtime listener, and I'm gonna thank you for everything you do to try to keep this constitutional republic of ours alive.
	Um but anyway.
	Well, I'm trying, I'm I am trying.
	I'm working on it.
	And you're doing a great job.
	Anyway, I want to tell you a little bit about Van Holland.
	Uh, you know, uh this stunt that he pulled is not the least bit surprising to me.
	I mean, he's the politician from Maryland.
	You know, Van Holland represents Maryland's eighth district.
	This is a large district that borders on DC.
	It's the most affluent county in the nation.
	It has the largest immigrant population in the country with 40% immigrants, twenty of which are Hispanic.
	So I mean, you know, for him to do a stunt like this, this is about getting votes, and this is about creating cheap labor In the county.
	That's what I think.
	I mean, you're talking about a state of Maryland.
	You know, they just passed a reparations bill, Sean.
	You know, a reparations bill.
	You know, our governor, Wes Moore, I like to call him Lesmore, inherited a $5.5 billion surplus.
	And in two years, we now have a $3.3 billion deficit.
	He just signed a $1.67 billion increase for taxes and fees.
	And you wonder why people are leaving the state of Maryland in droves.
	If if it weren't for my three grandchildren, Sean, I'd be living next door to you.
	I don't know if I want you as my neighbor yet.
	I have to get to know you better.
	Uh no, I'm only kidding.
	No, I mean, you're living in a very radical left-wing state, and and this is what you get.
	You know, when you had uh Kayla Hamilton raped and murdered, he didn't call her family.
	He didn't call Rachel Moran's mom, Patty Moran.
	Um, and and this is now, you know, he's he's more con and wouldn't even ask the guy, Garcia when he met him if he was an MS-13 gang member.
	I mean, it tells you everything you need to know about him.
	I would like to say you have a chance of winning elections in Maryland, but you know, unfortunately, anybody with brains left Maryland a long time ago, like they're leaving New York and New Jersey and Chicago and California, they're leaving in droves.
	And it's gonna make it hard, if not impossible, over time to make those that's to make a political comeback in those states, in my opinion.
	Anyway, I do appreciate your call.
	Uh, hope you have a great weekend as a real Marylander.
	I mean, this guy's an El Salvadorian.
	I can't believe everyone keeps saying it is still saying it.
	Drives me nuts.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
	And next week we will go through the first hundred days of Donald Trump cleaning up Biden's mess.
	In other words, news that you never hear about from the state-run legacy media mob, all coming up next week.
	Hope you'll join us all week long.
	Frankly, it should be a celebration, transformation and transformational and consequential and a rest restoration of constitutional order.
	All happening tonight next week.
	Have a great weekend.
	See you Monday.
