=== Grand Jury Charges and Cover Ups (14:59) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:03]  All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
[00:00:07]  Here's our toll free telephone number.
[00:00:08]  It's 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:00:13]  If you are not following the news today, it turns out Mr. Higher Honor, James Comey himself, turned himself into a federal authorities at an Alexandria, Virginia courthouse today.
[00:00:26]  The grand jury indictment revealed on Tuesday charges Comey with threatening to kill President Trump.
[00:00:32]  That's the 8647. Shell thing.
[00:00:36]  I have no idea what it meant.
[00:00:37]  None at all whatsoever.
[00:00:38]  Now, James Comey maintaining his innocence after the second indictment.
[00:00:43]  Here's what he had to say.
[00:00:45]  Well, they're back.
[00:00:46]  This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.
[00:00:52]  And this won't be the end of it.
[00:00:54]  But nothing has changed with me.
[00:00:55]  I'm still innocent.
[00:00:57]  I'm still not afraid.
[00:00:59]  And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
[00:01:02]  So let's go.
[00:01:03]  But it's really important.
[00:01:05]  That all of us remember.
[00:01:07]  This is not who we are as a country.
[00:01:08]  This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be.
[00:01:12]  And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values.
[00:01:18]  Keep the faith.
[00:01:19]  Anyway, so now indicted presidential death threat suspect James Comey decided not to wait till a squad car showed up at his house this morning and haul him down to police headquarters.
[00:01:30]  You know, I spent a couple of hours with John Solomon and Greg Jarrett on my podcast hanging out with me, Sean Hannity.
[00:01:38]  You can watch it wherever you get your video podcast.
[00:01:41]  And it's on YouTube and Spotify and Apple.
[00:01:44]  You know, I would urge you all to watch it because it really is the culmination of years of work that we all did together.
[00:01:52]  We did it collaboratively.
[00:01:54]  We worked very hard at it.
[00:01:55]  And we were able to get to the bottom of it.
[00:01:58]  The left wing legacy media mob was wrong.
[00:02:01]  We have been vindicated time and time again.
[00:02:04]  I look at this as the lower hanging fruit when it comes to Comey, Mr. Higher Honor.
[00:02:11]  And I think, especially with my interview with Dan Bongino and what they have found, I think that this grand conspiracy investigation is going to be the mother lode that may implicate a lot more people.
[00:02:25]  Bongino told me that he really felt that there were people in the FBI that purposefully preserved evidence, knowing and hoping that one day when he and Kash Patel got in the FBI, they would find it.
[00:02:40]  They did find it.
[00:02:42]  And that's where.
[00:02:43]  You know, Dan famously said he didn't think a Republican survived under these circumstances.
[00:02:48]  But I think that that is the case that I'm paying the most attention to.
[00:02:52]  However, this is significant.
[00:02:55]  Anyway, joining us now, John Solomon.
[00:02:57]  He is the founder, editor in chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com, Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, and of course, number one New York Times bestselling author.
[00:03:07]  John, let's start with you.
[00:03:09]  I think you agree with me this is the lower hanging fruit.
[00:03:13]  I think the big investigation is into the grand conspiracy.
[00:03:17]  Yeah, you're exactly right.
[00:03:18]  This is sort of a side issue, but one that takes on more significance when you remember what just happened Saturday night.
[00:03:25]  People are getting motivated by these social media posts.
[00:03:27]  They are getting motivated by the hateful rhetoric.
[00:03:30]  And so, if an FBI director or former FBI director wants to suggest it's a good idea to get rid of 47, and that might motivate someone, you're going to charge him just like you charge anyone else.
[00:03:42]  If a guy in Las Vegas says, hey, I'm going to kill the lawmaker tomorrow, they're going to go arrest him too.
[00:03:47]  So that's what went on here.
[00:03:48]  This is a minor case compared to what's playing out in Fort Pierce, Florida.
[00:03:52]  They are systemically looking at an effort to get Donald Trump violate his civil liberties over a 10 year period using four or five codename investigations.
[00:04:03]  And along the way, not only violating President Trump's civil liberties and those around him, but very likely members of Congress whose phone records were taken, lawyers whose law firm records were taken.
[00:04:15]  Keep in mind that they use secret measures to suck up entire law firm files as they were looking at certain lawyers in these cases.
[00:04:24]  That is going to be such a big inconsequential case, far more consequential than what went on in North Carolina yesterday.
[00:04:31]  And, John, if you can explain how Arctic Frost is only the tip of the iceberg, that there are multiple investigations with multiple names that they also now have discovered.
[00:04:43]  And we will learn a lot more in the days, weeks, and months ahead about these examples.
[00:04:48]  Yeah, basically, there's a wash, rinse, repeat cycle of weaponizing law enforcement.
[00:04:53]  And each time a Democrat has a problem, They then hang a fake scandal on a Republican and then use the powers of the intelligence and law enforcement community to try to give the illusion that this is a serious matter.
[00:05:06]  Hillary Clinton has a Russia collusion problem after the Peter Schweitzer book.
[00:05:10]  They make the crossfire hurricane investigation against Trump.
[00:05:14]  We know that had no merit.
[00:05:16]  Then Joe Biden has a Ukraine corruption problem with his son, Hunter, and they hang Ukraine impeachment around him.
[00:05:24]  A little bit while after that, they find Joe Biden's classified documents right after he got named president.
[00:05:29]  They want to neutralize that.
[00:05:30]  They create the investigation against President Trump that leads to the raid on Mar-a-Lago, for which now that we know the FBI believed there was no probable cause to do that.
[00:05:41]  And then, as it's becoming clear in 23 that Joe Biden has a mental acuity problem, that he's fading away, they need to put Donald Trump back on the defensive because he's doing well in the polls.
[00:05:51]  They use Articross, which basically goes all the way back to 2020 and says, we're going to look at that period after the election and charge Donald Trump with something that John Kennedy, And Sam Tilden did and never got charged, which is submit alternate electors to a Senate as a form of protest.
[00:06:09]  Twice in American history, that wasn't a crime, but when it came to Donald Trump, they tried to turn it into a crime.
[00:06:14]  Four consecutive wash, rinse, repeat cycles all along, capturing hundreds of people into a dragnet who were clearly innocent.
[00:06:23]  Let's get your take, Greg Jarrett.
[00:06:24]  Let's start with 86 47.
[00:06:26]  According to Comey, he had no idea what that meant.
[00:06:29]  He had no idea, just happened to stumble upon it.
[00:06:33]  Yeah, he said, gosh, it never occurred to me that some folks associate those numbers with violence.
[00:06:41]  I mean, that kind of bickery is a pattern with James Comey.
[00:06:46]  He feigns ignorance, he plays the dummy to try to weasel out of wrongdoing.
[00:06:52]  And he's proven to be a master of deceit, lying about leaks to the media, lying to the FISA court, secretly weaponizing the FBI and the Russia hoax, while denying it all with a straight face or.
[00:07:05]  Under testimony before Congress, he claims acute amnesia.
[00:07:10]  I don't remember anything.
[00:07:12]  It's all a phony act.
[00:07:14]  Comey loves to portray himself as St. James, but there's nothing virtuous about Comey.
[00:07:21]  I will say this I've been mildly amused at all the legal commentators who've been quick to condemn the Comey indictment as frivolous or absurd.
[00:07:32]  They're overlooking several important points, and if I may, I'll just run through them quickly.
[00:07:38]  This case, first of all, is in the Eastern District of North Carolina, predominantly conservative.
[00:07:44]  And in a politically charged case like this, that helps the prosecution.
[00:07:49]  It doesn't help Comey.
[00:07:51]  Second of all, the federal grand jury was persuaded that Comey willfully intended to threaten the life of the president.
[00:07:58]  Well, the trial jury from the exact same district may agree, even though, of course, there's a higher burden of proof.
[00:08:07]  Third, it's important to realize that the second count against Comey does not require a willful threat.
[00:08:16]  Instead, recklessly disregarding the risk of violence is sufficient.
[00:08:22]  It's a lower standard, it's easier to prove.
[00:08:25]  Fourth of all, you know, other people in that same Eastern District in North Carolina have been successfully prosecuted on the exact same charge, which will undermine Comey's claim that, gee, I'm a victim of selective, vindictive prosecution.
[00:08:43]  And finally, I point out, you know, Comey is surely going to argue I have a free speech right.
[00:08:50]  That's my defense.
[00:08:51]  Well, the Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that the First Amendment is not a shield.
[00:08:58]  For threats against the president.
[00:09:01]  The seminal case, Watts versus the United States in 1969.
[00:09:06]  So, you know, I also suspect that prosecutors have marshaled together a lot more incriminating evidence than we now know.
[00:09:16]  The attorney, acting attorney general, said yesterday, you know, we have witnesses, we have documents that will help prove the government's case.
[00:09:25]  Well, it's quite possible they've uncovered evidence that Comey's dubious story.
[00:09:33]  Is a brazen lie.
[00:09:35]  We'll wait and see.
[00:09:37]  You know, this is the low hanging fruit, John Solomon, that I often talk about, but there is being built, as confirmed by the Attorney General, still Pam Bondi, confirmed by Todd Blanch, confirmed by the FBI Director, Cash Battelle, new evidence put forward by Tulsi Gabbard at DNI, that in fact a grand conspiracy investigation is not only ongoing, but it is being built out.
[00:10:05]  How do you imagine that that will play out?
[00:10:09]  I think the first likely charges, if a grand jury decides to do something, will be to charge John Brennan in the next few weeks once the Senate transmits its evidence so that you begin to understand there was a cover up as far late as 2023.
[00:10:28]  People were lying in 2023, trying to cover up what began in 2016.
[00:10:33]  That is, I think, the starter gun firing for a larger conspiracy case.
[00:10:38]  All right, there's a lie.
[00:10:39]  That lie is trying to cover up the fact that the intelligence community created a fake intelligence document to justify the fact that the FBI previously tried to investigate Donald Trump wrongly for Russian collusion.
[00:10:53]  So that sort of becomes what we call the pattern case.
[00:10:58]  And then from that pattern case, you're going to start to look for people like FBI agents or CIA analysts who did things that exceeded the role of their job, that exceeded the evidence, exceeded their training, and say these guys were part of it too, different part of the conspiracy.
[00:11:13]  And at some point, you're going to flip someone because when you look at all the great conspiracies that have been brought against the mob or against drug cartels, you usually flip an insider.
[00:11:23]  Sammy the Bull, in the case of the famous Gambino trials, whoever flips first, whoever becomes that key critical witness, he can help or he or she can help tie it up in a very big way.
[00:11:33]  And I think that.
[00:11:34]  Well, who might that person be?
[00:11:35]  Is it going to be like an Andrew Weissman?
[00:11:37]  Who's it going to be?
[00:11:39]  It's a great question, right?
[00:11:40]  We don't know yet.
[00:11:41]  You know, who's going to take a deal?
[00:11:42]  Who's funding their law firms?
[00:11:43]  You know, maybe the left will pay a lot of people's legal bills and try to keep.
[00:11:47]  people from cooperating.
[00:11:48]  So we'll see.
[00:11:49]  But, you know, someone like an Andrew McCabe would be a really interesting thing.
[00:11:53]  Now, I'm not saying that Andrew Cabe committed a crime yet.
[00:11:55]  I don't know the evidence against him, but he's a guy that can testify upward on a James Comey and a Chris Wray and on a Barack Obama because he had contacts with him.
[00:12:04]  And he can testify downward to the agents who did things, the Pete Strux and the Lisa Pages and others.
[00:12:10]  So you're looking for someone that is like a man in the middle or a woman in the middle that has visibility up and down.
[00:12:16]  That sort of conspiracy witness becomes really key.
[00:12:19]  To a good prosecution.
[00:12:20]  Greg Jarrett, I'll give you an opportunity to explain how you think this will play out in terms of the broader case, the larger case, the more significant case of an 11 year grand conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump.
[00:12:34]  Well, I think John has summarized it as he always does with his reporting quite well.
[00:12:40]  You posed an important question who might flip and implicate others, for example, like John Brennan, who I think John's right.
[00:12:49]  He's clearly the next person to be indicted.
[00:12:53]  There were people high up in the CIA and, in fact, in other intelligence agencies that warned Brennan you can't use this dossier by Christopher Steele, paid for by Hillary Clinton.
[00:13:09]  It was a total smear and a complete lie.
[00:13:12]  It's phony.
[00:13:12]  You can't use it to try to implicate Trump and altering the intelligence community assessment upon the orders of.
[00:13:22]  President Barack Obama.
[00:13:23]  He can't do it.
[00:13:25]  Brennan did it anyway.
[00:13:27]  He essentially had one person compose it.
[00:13:31]  And I would think that that person who was the writer who penned this thing would be somebody, if I were a prosecutor, I'd be looking at to flip along with some others who were in on it against John Brennan.
[00:13:46]  And once you get people to begin to flip, to save their own butts, You know, then a snowball effect invariably happens.
[00:13:59]  And so, you know, look, you've got a grand jury investigation going on.
[00:14:04]  It's very intensive down in Fort Pierce, Florida.
[00:14:09]  You've got some new blood there that took over recently that are motivated to make sure that justice is done.
[00:14:19]  So we're going to see some action over the course of the next few weeks.
[00:14:23]  By the way, if you want a longer discussion on this very topic, both John Solomon and Greg Jarrett came on my podcast, and we go over this in great specificity and detail for nearly two hours, nonstop conversation about it, and you will learn a lot, I promise you.
[00:14:40]  John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, thank you both.
[00:14:42]  Appreciate both of you.
[00:14:44]  Let's get to our busy phones.
[00:14:45]  800 941 Sean, our number.
[00:14:47]  Janet in Utah, next on the Sean Hannity Show.
[00:14:50]  Hi.
[00:14:51]  Hey.
[00:14:53]  Hey.
[00:14:53]  Can you hear me?
[00:14:54]  I can hear you.
[00:14:55]  Can you hear me?
[00:14:56]  The worst words in the English language.
[00:14:58]  Go ahead.

=== Journalists and Conspiracy Investigations (05:13) ===

[00:14:59]  Yes, I can.
[00:15:01]  Hey, so it's an honor to speak with you.
[00:15:04]  But what I wanted to comment on is a gentleman saying, wondering why this last shooter wasn't dead.
[00:15:14]  And you wanted to have him alive so that you could get information from him.
[00:15:20]  And I'm just kind of of the opinion that there's this last shooter, and there's so many more people that have drank the Kool Aid and they aren't thinking for themselves anymore.
[00:15:33]  And I feel like there just needs to be a consequence.
[00:15:36]  Until there's consequences for people doing this, like Comey not knowing what the shell represented, that's just ridiculous.
[00:15:46]  And I want to know when the consequences are going to happen.
[00:15:51]  Well, they may never happen to the extent that they should.
[00:15:54]  And I'm not going to give you false hope.
[00:15:58]  Too many of these people, oh, they're going to be in jail for the rest of their life.
[00:16:02]  They will never see another day free.
[00:16:04]  And, you know, look at John Hinckley, who shot Reagan.
[00:16:07]  He's free as a bird.
[00:16:10]  So it frustrates me.
[00:16:12]  In terms of dead or alive, I'm perfectly fine if the guy ends up dead.
[00:16:17]  However,.
[00:16:18]  If you have the person alive, you do have an opportunity to discover if there might be other people that were aiding, abetting, supporting, and that were part of a grander conspiracy.
[00:16:31]  And in that sense, I would like to know the answer to that.
[00:16:34]  So you can get information you otherwise would not be able to get from a dead person.
[00:16:39]  But with that said, if the guy ended up dead, I would not be sitting on this program today, you know, shedding a tear.
[00:16:45]  I promise you.
[00:16:46]  Right.
[00:16:46]  But I think we can pretty much guarantee that there's.
[00:16:49]  Unfortunately, many more like him, and they're everywhere.
[00:16:55]  Well, I think there's plenty of them, and I think we're doing a very poor job in terms of creating a safe perimeter for the president, his cabinet, and high ranking government officials.
[00:17:06]  And we're doing a poor job.
[00:17:07]  We're not sweeping, we're not securing, we're not holding areas.
[00:17:11]  In this case, the entire hotel should have been swept.
[00:17:14]  It was not.
[00:17:15]  Just like it was not swept the area around Trump International.
[00:17:19]  Just like Butler was not swept the way it should have been swept.
[00:17:22]  And at this point, how many more examples do we need before we make the changes that are necessary?
[00:17:30]  I. Zero.
[00:17:31]  Zero.
[00:17:32]  Yeah.
[00:17:33]  I appreciate the call, Janet.
[00:17:35]  Thank you.
[00:17:37]  Let us say hi to Dr. George in my free state of Florida.
[00:17:40]  Dr. George, how are you?
[00:17:41]  What kind of doctor are you?
[00:17:45]  For longevity medicine.
[00:17:47]  But in any case, Mr. Sean Hannity, my wife and I hold you in such high esteem because you're very few bona fide doctors.
[00:17:57]  Professional journalists who's not going to lose their professional journalism card because you've never attended one of those White House dinners through the years.
[00:18:09]  And any journalists who did participate in those events ought to lose their professional journalism card.
[00:18:18]  Let me ask you a question, Doctor.
[00:18:21]  If you know you have to go to an event, and there are events all of us have to go to, That we really don't want to go to.
[00:18:30]  It's not at the top of our list of things we would choose to do on a day off.
[00:18:35]  Why would I want to go in a room full of people, most of whom I don't particularly like, that don't like me?
[00:18:43]  What is the point?
[00:18:45]  I don't see any point to that.
[00:18:47]  Well, the point is that professional journalists ought to not casually cavort with the people whom they have to ask probing questions of.
[00:18:59]  And this is the problem we saw.
[00:19:01]  When the Democrats were in power, when they get together at that White House dinner and they joke around about serious issues that affect our country, journalists should not be doing that if they want to maintain their ethics and still be highly respected, bona fide professional journalists.
[00:19:22]  And the very fact that you had the spine and the determination knowing that that would Challenge the ethics of any professional journalist.
[00:19:35]  We just admire you for your fortitude, for your patriotism, and we just think the world of you.
[00:19:43]  Thank you for fighting the good fight.
[00:19:46]  By the way, you have the best screeners of all call in shows.
[00:19:51]  I appreciate that, George.
[00:19:52]  Thank you, Dr. George.
[00:19:54]  But look, if people want to go, if that's fun for them, then I guess we just have very different definitions of what's fun.
[00:20:03]  I think I would rather hang out at a barbecue joint or a restaurant with friends and family.
[00:20:08]  And I think there's better use of my time than hanging out with these DC.

=== Florida Property Values Rise (05:21) ===

[00:20:13]  You know, arrogant elitists that hate the president.
[00:20:16]  And, you know, they call it nerd prom for a reason.
[00:20:20]  Marty in North Carolina next on the Sean Hannity Show.
[00:20:24]  Marty, how are you?
[00:20:26]  Sean, thank you for taking my call.
[00:20:28]  I saw you recently, by the way, in Florida, and you were looking dapper and you were looking healthy.
[00:20:34]  And I've been following you all the way since you used to sit in for Rush last century.
[00:20:40]  Oh, wow.
[00:20:40]  Thank you.
[00:20:41]  I'm a big fan.
[00:20:43]  Where did you see me in Florida, if I may be so bold to ask?
[00:20:47]  Well, it was a real estate gathering, and you found the only liberal in the room.
[00:20:53]  Remember, he was on the camera crew.
[00:20:57]  You know, I'm actually, I've got liberal, you know, I have liberal detectors that are working 24 7.
[00:21:04]  They don't stop.
[00:21:05]  I can usually spot them a mile away.
[00:21:07]  It was fun.
[00:21:08]  It was so fun.
[00:21:10]  And you were funny.
[00:21:11]  So that was great to be with you.
[00:21:13]  Well, it was nice to meet you.
[00:21:14]  And you should move to my free state of Florida.
[00:21:17]  Although I do like North Carolina, I love the mountains of North Carolina.
[00:21:21]  I think it's great there.
[00:21:23]  Actually, I'm from the mountains and I might move to the free state of Florida if we can't get rid of this Democratic governor that we've got.
[00:21:31]  But listen, the reason I called you is because I got a question for you.
[00:21:35]  You know, I was selling real estate last century and the average age of the first time home buyer when I first started selling real estate was 27, 28 years old.
[00:21:47]  The average age for somebody to buy their first time home now is 40, 41.
[00:21:53]  What happened?
[00:21:55]  Look, a lot of things happen.
[00:21:57]  Government has, you know, adopted waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, et cetera.
[00:22:04]  You have governments on the state level, federal level, they have been taking more and more people's hard earned money.
[00:22:11]  Donald Trump now seeking to reverse that.
[00:22:13]  I think, you know, as soon as we get this Iran situation over, I think you'll see a dramatic move with the economy.
[00:22:20]  I think interest rates will come down.
[00:22:22]  I think manufacturing will go up dramatically because we have committed investments, trillions of dollars worth.
[00:22:29]  I think high paying career jobs will come online.
[00:22:32]  Once interest rates go down, people that have been reluctant to sell a home that they want to sell because they don't want to give up their 2, 3, 4% 30 year fixed rate mortgage, I think that'll get fixed.
[00:22:42]  And I think you'll see, you know, sale of pre existing homes and new home construction start to skyrocket.
[00:22:48]  That's my hope.
[00:22:48]  Yeah.
[00:22:49]  I absolutely hope that that will happen sooner than later.
[00:22:52]  I think I'll never forget when I bought my first home and it was in Roswell, Georgia, and I was in my early 30s.
[00:22:59]  And I paid, I think, I don't know, what did I pay for that home?
[00:23:02]  $112,000.
[00:23:04]  I was the happiest guy on earth.
[00:23:06]  I felt like I'd made it.
[00:23:08]  I know.
[00:23:08]  But you know, when this first started happening, it's when Pelosi started selling young people on you can have some kind of universal income and you can go out there and be an artist.
[00:23:18]  And it's the lack of commitment.
[00:23:20]  We've got to sell home ownership.
[00:23:22]  That's been the backbone of the American family's economy for years.
[00:23:27]  And I don't want to see that change.
[00:23:31]  I know more people that are waiting for interest rates to go down so that they can move up to the next level of home that they want to get into, but they're not willing to sacrifice a low 30 year fixed rate mortgage to get there.
[00:23:46]  So that's an important part of the equation.
[00:23:49]  And I think it will happen sooner than later.
[00:23:52]  Let's get this Iranian conflict behind us, and I think things will change quickly.
[00:23:57]  I do.
[00:23:58]  Tell Trump to do anything that promotes.
[00:24:01]  Tax deductions on American home ownership and for the American family.
[00:24:07]  We've got.
[00:24:07]  Well, the average American is getting over $3,500 in terms of their tax refund, more than they were getting under Joe Biden.
[00:24:16]  That is a significant increase.
[00:24:18]  People's take home pay has gone up significantly, again, because of the one big beautiful bill and the largest tax cut in history.
[00:24:26]  So people are beginning to feel the benefit of Trump's economic policies.
[00:24:31]  However, I mean, stopping Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon did kind of get in the way of all this.
[00:24:39]  And for a short period of time, until this is resolved, unfortunately, it'll slow down progress, but then it'll pick up right after.
[00:24:49]  But I feel the ground shaking.
[00:24:50]  The golden age is coming, and it always begins with America real estate.
[00:24:56]  100%.
[00:24:57]  And I urge every American if you can, once you get to the point you can afford your own home, I urge you to get it.
[00:25:04]  For most people, it is the biggest investment they have in their life.
[00:25:08]  And look, the value of property is not going to go down in the end.
[00:25:13]  Property values keep going up.
[00:25:15]  Look for property that is unique.
[00:25:17]  Look for property that is special.
[00:25:19]  Look for property that you can improve.
[00:25:21]  Don't buy the nicest house on the street, buy the one that needs a little elbow grease, and you can invest in yourself in your spare time, improve the property, and you'll make more money.
[00:25:32]  Appreciate it, Marty.
[00:25:33]  God bless you.

=== Train Security vs Travel Inconvenience (02:08) ===

[00:25:34]  800.
[00:25:34]  941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Jeff in Oregon.
[00:25:37]  Jeff, how are you?
[00:25:38]  Glad you called.
[00:25:39]  Hi, Sean.
[00:25:41]  Yeah, thanks for taking my call.
[00:25:42]  I'm a long time listener since Combs Day.
[00:25:45]  Also, I'm a retired MD.
[00:25:47]  My point only is a quick one.
[00:25:49]  I find it extraordinary that Cole Thomas was able to travel across the country on a train.
[00:25:55]  Trains have rules, regulations.
[00:25:57]  You can't carry guns, you have to check them in.
[00:25:59]  And I think I ride trains all the time, and I actually have a license to carry, but I won't carry because I'm afraid of getting caught and getting a felony.
[00:26:08]  He could have been caught if they had security at trains like they have at planes.
[00:26:13]  And the days now are not safe for trains.
[00:26:15]  God, awful things can happen without security.
[00:26:18]  Listen, I think probably deep down in my heart, I think you're 100% right.
[00:26:22]  I think the same protocols we have in place for anybody to get on an airplane should be institutionalized for trains and buses.
[00:26:31]  I think it would make travel more safe and secure.
[00:26:34]  I don't think it's a bad idea, but I hate the idea of being further inconvenienced.
[00:26:38]  I hate it.
[00:26:40]  Being blown up on a train, also, or having some.
[00:26:43]  If I had a dollar for every time I was wandered in my life, I'd be a very, very wealthy man.
[00:26:49]  And whatever you do, don't ever travel with Sweet Baby James and don't ever travel with Linda because they're wearing signs on their forehead.
[00:26:57]  It's tattooed in saying, Wand me, give me extra security sweeps.
[00:27:04]  And Linda gets impatient when they pull her out of the line.
[00:27:06]  She gets very impatient.
[00:27:08]  Sweet Baby James is a lot nicer about it.
[00:27:11]  I've had drunks that the police have pulled out who were threatening, but that's the worst I've ever had.
[00:27:18]  Yeah, it's just not fun.
[00:27:20]  But, you know, unfortunately, I guess, you know, it's the 25th anniversary year of 9 11.
[00:27:25]  I guess, you know, we can't go back to where we were.
[00:27:28]  And you can thank radical Islamists for changing our way of life.
[00:27:31]  And now, you know, we don't even think about it anymore.
[00:27:35]  And it's just unfortunate.
[00:27:38]  It really is.
[00:27:39]  I wish it wasn't that way, but in this day and age, we have to put safety first.
