=== Pope Files and Ukraine Threats (13:51) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:04]  Thanks to all of you for being with us.
[00:00:05]  Write down our toll free telephone number this Friday.
[00:00:09]  It is 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:00:13]  Linda, how often do I say the days are long, the weeks are short?
[00:00:19]  And like we start our show, happy Monday.
[00:00:21]  And then the next thing I know, I blink my eyes and it's, you know, happy Friday.
[00:00:26]  There's no such thing really as a happy Monday except my one friend Michael says, Monday is my favorite day of the week.
[00:00:32]  I can't wait to get up out of bed and go to work.
[00:00:35]  And I look at him, I'm like, I really love what I do for a living, but I don't love it that much.
[00:00:40]  I'm with you on that, bro.
[00:00:42]  Because my brain kind of shuts down a little bit over the weekend, not completely, as you know.
[00:00:46]  And by the way, why were you whining?
[00:00:48]  Because I was sending stories to everybody at 3 30 or 4 o'clock this morning, whatever time it was.
[00:00:52]  Why were you complaining?
[00:00:54]  What was it, dinging next to your bed or something?
[00:00:56]  I woke you up.
[00:00:57]  You said it woke me up.
[00:00:59]  Well, listen, you know, you have a very special ring on my phone.
[00:01:03]  We've gone through this.
[00:01:05]  It's kind of like Darth Vader meets.
[00:01:07]  Beep, beep, beep.
[00:01:09]  No, that's not it.
[00:01:11]  You have a special ring.
[00:01:13]  Go ahead, text me and I'll play it over the air.
[00:01:15]  All right, thanks, Linda.
[00:01:17]  Play it over the air.
[00:01:17]  You know, this is.
[00:01:18]  Wait for it, America.
[00:01:20]  This is a wonderful.
[00:01:20]  Wait for it, America.
[00:01:21]  Wait for it.
[00:01:22]  It's wonderful.
[00:01:23]  You'll hear it.
[00:01:24]  It's coming.
[00:01:24]  All right.
[00:01:25]  Hang on.
[00:01:26]  I got to get your text.
[00:01:27]  Oh, my God.
[00:01:28]  There.
[00:01:28]  There it is.
[00:01:34]  Did you hear it?
[00:01:34]  All right.
[00:01:35]  You leave that on nightly?
[00:01:37]  You're crazy.
[00:01:40]  Because for all I know, you're going to text me something crazy.
[00:01:44]  So you're never on the do not disturb.
[00:01:47]  You're never on silent.
[00:01:48]  So no matter what happens, I mean, you could be texting me that Martha Stewart put out a new cookbook, and I'm going to hear that.
[00:01:55]  Does Anthony hear that every night in the middle of his sleep?
[00:01:59]  Well, he has Bloomberg on, so he has his own alerts.
[00:02:01]  Our room is one big alert.
[00:02:03]  It's a lot.
[00:02:04]  But does that wake him up?
[00:02:05]  That would wake me up.
[00:02:07]  I think he's immune to it now.
[00:02:09]  After like the 38th time in a night, he's like, whatever.
[00:02:13]  That's just Sean.
[00:02:13]  He's on YouTube.
[00:02:14]  I like, you know, there are binge drinkers.
[00:02:17]  There are binge web surfers, and I'm one of those.
[00:02:21]  Oh, yeah.
[00:02:22]  You are a pro surfer, my friend.
[00:02:25]  Not sure what to make of this.
[00:02:26]  The president announced via Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a three day ceasefire beginning May the 9th, which he said would pause all kinetic activity in the ongoing war that includes a thousand for a thousand prisoner exchange of the two countries.
[00:02:46]  He said, I'm pleased to announce that there will be a three day ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
[00:02:52]  The celebration in Russia is for Victory Day, but likewise in Ukraine, because they were also a big part of and factor in World War II.
[00:03:01]  The ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country.
[00:03:11]  The request was made directly by me.
[00:03:13]  I appreciate its agreement by Vladimir Putin and And President Zelensky.
[00:03:20]  Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, hard fought war.
[00:03:24]  Talks are continuing on ending this major conflict.
[00:03:29]  And the biggest, you know, since World War II, it's what, four and a half years now?
[00:03:34]  It's unbelievable.
[00:03:36]  You know what's fascinating?
[00:03:37]  And we always talk about the next generation of weaponry, and we talk about how I think future wars are going to be fought in air conditioned offices.
[00:03:48]  I mean, you can see with the pinpoint precision and accuracy, you know, the first iteration, generation, if you will, of weaponry, you know, has been on full display as it relates to Iran, which is why there's been such a successful military effort.
[00:04:08]  And I just think it's all going to play out.
[00:04:10]  What the Ukrainians are doing, and I talked to people in the know that know exactly what's going on, and I think we should actually be partnering with them in this.
[00:04:19]  They have every seven, anywhere from four to 10 days, they have the next generation of drone that they use.
[00:04:29]  In other words, they keep improving it every four to 10 days.
[00:04:33]  And they've been using robots on the battlefield successfully.
[00:04:39]  You know, fighting off, you know, Russian forces and taking back land that Russia had acquired.
[00:04:46]  I mean, if you would have told me when Putin was amassing troops on the border with Ukraine and Joe Biden was saying, you know, what he's going to do, well, it depends if it's a minor incursion.
[00:04:58]  Obviously, Putin had every intention to go in there.
[00:05:02]  That, you know, four and a half years later, that they basically would be fighting to a standstill, although Russia has gotten some territory that they didn't have previously.
[00:05:13]  And that the Ukrainians would be able to fight this valiantly, I frankly wouldn't have believed it.
[00:05:19]  And now they're using the next generation of weaponry.
[00:05:22]  Pay close attention because this is the future and we better be on top of it and we better be ahead of the curve and we better do the investments.
[00:05:29]  You know, people complaining Donald Trump is investing $1.5 trillion.
[00:05:33]  And this maybe is one of the fundamental differences.
[00:05:35]  You know, these idiot commentators out there that, you know, feel sorry for those of us that believe that radical Islamic terrorists.
[00:05:44]  Are a clear and present and existential threat.
[00:05:47]  I don't know what the hell they're talking about.
[00:05:49]  They want to put their head in the sand.
[00:05:51]  You still have these isolationist idiots.
[00:05:55]  They said they support Trump.
[00:05:56]  They never really were big Trump supporters.
[00:05:58]  But the fact that they would put their head in the sands and hand off to our children and grandchildren a nuclear armed Iran is unbelievable.
[00:06:05]  Rubio said it so well this week when he went out there and said, Yeah, you're worried about the Strait of Hormuz, and it's difficult to get the Iranians out of the way, and the blockade is costing them $400 or $500.
[00:06:18]  Million dollars a day and bringing them economically to their knees, and they have a currency that is worthless and, you know, a 300% inflation rate, half their workforce is out of work.
[00:06:31]  Now, there's reports they can't even feed their and pay their Revolutionary Guard Corps.
[00:06:37]  All of this, you know, can end in less than an hour if Donald Trump decides to obliterate their entire economies, trying to find a more peaceful solution to it.
[00:06:48]  So we'll see what happens.
[00:06:49]  We do have a lot of good economic news we're going to get to.
[00:06:51]  The IRS paid out over $200 million in tax credits to foreign citizens who weren't entitled to them.
[00:06:57]  That's good news, right, Linda?
[00:06:59]  Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:07:00]  Foreign citizens, illegals, the very people that the left wants to have vote and to give free health care to, and sex change operations to, and college tuition to.
[00:07:11]  It's unbelievable.
[00:07:14]  We see Secretary of State Marco Rubio apparently met with Pope Leo.
[00:07:19]  I did get a little behind the scenes.
[00:07:23]  Of what happened.
[00:07:25]  And apparently, you know, Marco was extraordinarily.
[00:07:29]  He's so smart.
[00:07:30]  So bright, if you know him, so persuasive that he was explaining to the Pope, and I don't know why the Pope needed to hear it this way, what the regime in Iran is all about.
[00:07:45]  It was pretty, you know, I'm trying to understand because the Pope had made the statement about God does not approve any conflict, which I would argue if you believe the God of the Old Testament is the same as the God in the New Testament, which he is, then God actually put a seal of approval on well over 400 conflicts.
[00:08:04]  But I don't want to get into a theological discussion.
[00:08:08]  Now, it doesn't mean because you're Pope that you're infallible.
[00:08:12]  There are, if a Pope is speaking ex cathedra, okay, I studied this when I studied theology, and I went to Catholic schools 12 years, then I studied Latin for the little that I remember, and I mean little, but that means on issues of faith and morals when a Pope speaks.
[00:08:34]  Otherwise, that does not make them infallible.
[00:08:37]  Now, Marco is also meeting with Italy's Prime Minister Maloney to see if they can resolve some of the tensions and differences.
[00:08:47]  I'm not sure it's going to be possible to repair the damage that Europe has caused.
[00:08:52]  It was a phenomenal experience in Great Britain yesterday.
[00:08:56]  It was a complete and utter wipeout by Nigel Farage and his Reform Party against Keir Neville Chamberlain Starmur.
[00:09:08]  And his Labor Party, they only came into power two years ago.
[00:09:10]  It was a complete wipeout.
[00:09:12]  We'll get into that in more details later today.
[00:09:16]  Anyway, so we'll see if Marco's diplomacy pays off in time.
[00:09:20]  That would be interesting to watch.
[00:09:23]  You know, you can't win for losing.
[00:09:25]  I mean, all the people, you know, release this, release the JFK files, the Epstein files, the RFK files, the MLK files, the, you know, anything we have on UFOs.
[00:09:34]  Now, I've always been fascinated with UFOs.
[00:09:36]  Linda, are you fascinated with this?
[00:09:39]  I am indeed.
[00:09:40]  Okay, you know what a UAP is?
[00:09:43]  I do indeed.
[00:09:45]  Okay.
[00:09:45]  So the latest, now they released what we learned from today's release on the issue of UAPs, UFOs, et cetera.
[00:09:55]  And by the way, we just did a podcast on the Bob Lazar story, which is a huge hit on Prime.
[00:10:02]  And the director, I mean, the guy, the story he tells is phenomenal.
[00:10:07]  And he tells a story where, yeah, he worked on power sources that were not of this earth.
[00:10:15]  And well, unidentified flying objects, whatever you want to call them, UAPs, and saw them and discussed it and felt that he had to tell a story because otherwise he felt that he wouldn't be protected.
[00:10:30]  Anyway, so the White House put out the latest UAP videos, photos, original source documents from across the entire U.S. are all in one place, no clearance required.
[00:10:40]  And while past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump's focused on providing.
[00:10:47]  Maximum transparency to the public who can ultimately make up their own minds about information contained in the files.
[00:10:53]  And, you know, the same thing was said by Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, who said that to me in my podcast.
[00:11:00]  He made so much news in that podcast.
[00:11:01]  Wow, if you haven't seen it, it's worth seeing wherever you watch your video podcast.
[00:11:05]  The same with the NASA administrator.
[00:11:07]  Now, they released photos from the initial disclosure show, I mean, you just can't describe it any other way than strangely shaped objects.
[00:11:17]  Captured on film, for example, it goes back as far as Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 space missions.
[00:11:26]  One photo taken from the surface of the moon appears to show a cluster of three tiny dots in the sky.
[00:11:32]  Again, I'm just giving you the raw data here.
[00:11:35]  A transcript of communication between Apollo 17 operators details the operators' exchange over this unknown phenomenon.
[00:11:43]  And now we've got a few bright particles, fragments, or something that go drifting by as we maneuver.
[00:11:52]  Roger, understand there's a whole bunch of big ones on my window down there, just bright.
[00:11:58]  It looks like the 4th of July out of Ron's window, another operator said.
[00:12:02]  Quote, yes, now you can see them in shape.
[00:12:06]  They're very jagged, angular fragments.
[00:12:09]  They are tumbling, the first operator said.
[00:12:13]  An FBI photo containing the black dots appear to be UAPs.
[00:12:21]  FBI graphic showing a 2023 eyewitness account of a football shaped UFO materializing.
[00:12:29]  From light in the sky, and the actual site photo of the FBI lab rendered graphic overlay depicting corroborating eyewitness reports from September of 2023.
[00:12:42]  I mean, it goes all the way back to 1965, a transcript, Gemini 7 space mission describing astronauts' encounter with a brilliant body containing trillions of particles.
[00:12:53]  And, you know, look, just I'm not telling you what to believe or not believe.
[00:12:57]  I'm just fascinated by it.
[00:12:58]  And a lot of people, you know, God created the heavens and the earth.
[00:13:03]  And, you know, here we just keep discovering more universes within universes within universes.
[00:13:08]  The majesty of God's imagination and creation is breathtaking to me.
[00:13:16]  And, you know, nowhere, biblically speaking, if you're looking at this and you believe that God created the heavens and the earth as I do, nothing there contradicts the idea that God could have created life or intelligence in some capacity.
[00:13:33]  In some other universe that maybe is long and far away from here.
[00:13:38]  I mean, all of that is possible.
[00:13:40]  Anyway, they talk about specifically people observing, you know, saucer shaped aircraft, how long it is in diameter.

=== Fighting for Freedom and Power (05:56) ===

[00:13:51]  One case, 21 feet in diameter, radio controlled.
[00:13:55]  You know, in this case of Bob Lazar, which we dropped in the podcast, I mean, he's saying we have it.
[00:14:02]  And that he saw it and that he worked on it.
[00:14:05]  Then he talked about its power source.
[00:14:08]  Power source.
[00:14:09]  I sound like you saying source.
[00:14:10]  Power source and how the power source is otherworldly, which makes perfect sense.
[00:14:17]  There was this guy years and years ago.
[00:14:20]  I used to go to this thing called the Invention Convention.
[00:14:22]  Inventors would get together, and some of it was junk, some of it was very interesting.
[00:14:26]  This one guy really believed that if we could ever tap into the gravitational force, there would be an endless source of human energy.
[00:14:34]  His fear was not only would it be used for good use, but it could be used for bad.
[00:14:40]  I mean, I guess that's the human nature, good and evil.
[00:14:44]  But it was very convincing.
[00:14:46]  Talk about Buzz Aldrin describing unusual things he saw on the Apollo 11 mission.
[00:14:52]  The issue of Iran is going to come to a quick end.
[00:14:54]  U.S. and Iran exchanged fire on Thursday, as we told you yesterday on the program.
[00:14:59]  Of course, none of our ships were hit, no damage done to three destroyers.
[00:15:04]  Great damage was done to the Iranian attackers.
[00:15:07]  They were completely destroyed.
[00:15:08]  They're dead.
[00:15:11]  Anyway, the president said no when asked if the conflict is over.
[00:15:16]  Secretary of State Rubio says the U.S. expects Iran to respond to their peace proposal, which means no nukes, by the end of the day today.
[00:15:26]  They are losing $400 to $500 billion a day.
[00:15:29]  You know, Rubio just summed it up so perfectly this week when he said, Imagine the worries about the Strait of Hormuz if Iran ever had a nuclear weapon.
[00:15:41]  And unlike these other isolationist idiots that have a microphone, they're like homeless people with microphones.
[00:15:49]  And I'm like, they're the dumbest people on earth.
[00:15:51]  They have no contact.
[00:15:52]  They just make stuff up.
[00:15:54]  The number of people peddling conspiracy theories, I don't think it's ever been higher than it is now.
[00:16:00]  Israel did this.
[00:16:02]  The president was listening to Bibi.
[00:16:05]  No, the president listened to his intelligence community.
[00:16:09]  How do I know?
[00:16:09]  Because I speak to these people.
[00:16:12]  And with one exception, somebody that just had a philosophical disagreement with the president, which I don't really mind.
[00:16:20]  The president will listen to all voices.
[00:16:23]  I know that there were prominent voices in the Oval Office, not Fox News hosts, not Mark Levin, not Sean Hannity.
[00:16:32]  Thank me.
[00:16:32]  God bless us.
[00:16:33]  No, but sitting in the days leading up to Epic Fury, begging the president to listen to them.
[00:16:41]  The president didn't listen to them, he listened to the intelligence.
[00:16:44]  To a fault, all of the people that I talked to, and I think people would understand that I am fairly.
[00:16:52]  You know, well connected when it comes to government sources.
[00:16:56]  They all say the same thing.
[00:16:57]  The president had no choice.
[00:17:01]  The one that said it most loudly and most publicly was our Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, how they were bragging they had 460 kilograms, nearly 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium.
[00:17:14]  Okay, maybe it doesn't mean much to the average bird, but to the people that are in the know about nuclear enrichment, that means they're 12 days or less away from.
[00:17:25]  Weapons grade enriched uranium at 90%.
[00:17:28]  That's not a risk we could take.
[00:17:30]  The words that I hear most often from the people that know is the president had no choice.
[00:17:37]  He just didn't.
[00:17:38]  And I know, you know, people wish it would be over.
[00:17:42]  I want it to be over.
[00:17:43]  I don't want gas prices to go up at all, though I noticed the price of a barrel of oil last couple of days.
[00:17:48]  It's down again today, right?
[00:17:50]  I'm pretty sure the last time I checked.
[00:17:53]  And the president is saying that there will be a lot of pain if Iran doesn't do this.
[00:18:00]  Marco Rubio says only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at.
[00:18:04]  Can you believe how dumb the legacy media mob, the isolationist conspiracy theory morons are?
[00:18:12]  They really are stupid.
[00:18:13]  One thing that is gaining traction is what we have been talking about a lot getting arms in the hands of the Iranian people.
[00:18:21]  I mean, for 47 years, these people have been terrorized, but it's not our fight for their freedom.
[00:18:27]  They got to fight for their own freedom.
[00:18:29]  But if we supply them, we did the same thing.
[00:18:31]  Reagan did it.
[00:18:33]  In Angola, he did it with the Nicaraguan freedom fighters.
[00:18:36]  He did it with the Mujahideen when they were battling the former Soviet Union.
[00:18:42]  You know, although you can listen to Kamala Harris, she says Russia's the big winner in the Iran war.
[00:18:47]  What the hell is she even talking about?
[00:18:49]  Is she really that dumb?
[00:18:51]  I mean, I can't believe this woman even got any votes for president.
[00:18:56]  Anyway, so that's the news from Lake Wobegon as it relates to what's going on here.
[00:19:03]  The president did strike.
[00:19:06]  One of the Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz to send a message yesterday, too.
[00:19:11]  Now, there's propaganda reports that the son of the late Ali Hamani, who was also injured in the opening salvo of Epic Fury, has full oversight of the Iranian state affairs, according to the State Ministry of Propaganda.
[00:19:27]  I don't believe that.
[00:19:29]  By the way, executed Iranian prisoners, three Iranian prisoners executed over the weekend.
[00:19:36]  They described the torture, forced confessions, denied legal rights in messages that they shared with the Jerusalem Post before their deaths.

=== Changing in the Dark Suit (03:14) ===

[00:19:47]  And anyway, you know, they went on to, they were eventually hung.
[00:19:51]  I mean, this is just a brutal regime.
[00:19:55]  It's just horrible.
[00:19:57]  It will come to an end.
[00:19:58]  I think the president's patience.
[00:19:59]  Now, I will be, I was struggling with whether I should go or I shouldn't go.
[00:20:07]  And I made a final decision.
[00:20:09]  And I hope the people in this audience understand why I was struggling, even in any way.
[00:20:17]  When you have an opportunity to go on Air Force One, most people would say, well, why are you struggling with that?
[00:20:22]  Because I'm going to miss too many programs based on the time difference, the travel demands, and the commitments that I will have to be at certain events while.
[00:20:39]  My shows are taking place.
[00:20:42]  I'll be able to do, I'll miss, I think, one or two TV shows next week.
[00:20:46]  How many radio shows am I going to miss?
[00:20:48]  I'll do a show Monday.
[00:20:50]  You're not missing any shows.
[00:20:51]  You're going to be here every day talking to us.
[00:20:53]  Is this thing on?
[00:20:54]  Can you hear me?
[00:20:55]  Hello?
[00:20:56]  You're going to be here every day talking to us.
[00:21:00]  I will be updating this audience.
[00:21:02]  I'll be talking to the audience every day from China.
[00:21:07]  What did Gordon Chang do?
[00:21:08]  It's going to be great.
[00:21:09]  I said, Do you think I'm going to be spied on?
[00:21:12]  He said, Oh, yeah.
[00:21:13]  I mean, and I said, Well, explain what that means.
[00:21:15]  He goes, Oh, they're going to bug your room.
[00:21:18]  And I'm like, With video cameras?
[00:21:19]  He goes, There'll be a video camera in the shower.
[00:21:23]  I mean, that's kind of creepy.
[00:21:25]  That creeps you out a little bit.
[00:21:27]  And your great suggestion is just put on a bathing suit.
[00:21:31]  That's all you need to do.
[00:21:32]  Put on a bathing suit.
[00:21:33]  Put on a different bathing suit every day.
[00:21:35]  That way you're comfortable.
[00:21:36]  Each day you could do the colors, you know, a different color every day.
[00:21:38]  What do you have to do to put on a bathing suit?
[00:21:41]  Do you wear your underwear under your bathing suit?
[00:21:44]  I mean, I think that could get challenging.
[00:21:46]  What are you going to do?
[00:21:47]  Take off the bathing suit and wait for the underwear to dry?
[00:21:51]  You got to get naked at some point.
[00:21:53]  It's 3 30 in the afternoon.
[00:21:54]  I'm not afraid to get naked.
[00:21:55]  I'm just driving home.
[00:21:56]  I don't know how much detail we're getting into here, but I'm just going to let you know that if you're getting changed into your bathing suit and there's video cameras in your room in China, I suggest you do it in the dark.
[00:22:05]  Do it in the dark.
[00:22:06]  Did you ever hear of night vision cameras?
[00:22:08]  You don't think that they're using more sophisticated technology than a regular camera?
[00:22:13]  It's going to look a little blurry.
[00:22:15]  Everything's fine in the dark, you know, even if they have night vision.
[00:22:19]  You know, you got the lights on, you're in trouble.
[00:22:21]  Linda's saying to me, this is very rude.
[00:22:23]  You say I look better in the dark, naked.
[00:22:26]  I never said that.
[00:22:27]  I'm here, Sean.
[00:22:28]  My main concern is your privacy.
[00:22:30]  I'm all about your privacy.
[00:22:32]  That's what I'm really here for.
[00:22:33]  I support you.
[00:22:35]  I did think it was funny that, you know, that this Chinese oil tanker that was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz apparently failed to identify which side carried out the attack.
[00:22:48]  But no, that would have been the Iranians that did that.
[00:22:52]  You know, on the same day that China ordered firms to ignore U.S.-Iranian sanctions.
[00:23:00]  You can't make some of this stuff up.
[00:23:01]  You really can.

=== Exit Taxes in Blue States (04:33) ===

[00:23:02]  It's just too good to be true.
[00:23:04]  A couple of other little things.
[00:23:08]  You know, we talked about the exchange fire, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:23:10]  So we'll see what happens there.
[00:23:12]  There is, yeah, as I told you yesterday, oil went pretty, it was like at 94 or 95 a barrel.
[00:23:22]  I don't know.
[00:23:23]  I mean, the way the markets react to this.
[00:23:25]  Now, we're going to get into later in the program.
[00:23:29]  This is a massive, massive whim.
[00:23:32]  And Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, apparently, Hakeem Jeffries packed up.
[00:23:36]  $40 million into this unconstitutional effort to pretty much steal these seats in Virginia, and it now backfired.
[00:23:46]  I was telling everybody ahead of time, it's never going to pass judicial muster and judicial review.
[00:23:50]  It didn't.
[00:23:52]  Virginia's Supreme Court overturned the state's recently passed redistricting plan.
[00:23:57]  Ken Cuccinelli, one of Virginia's senators, will join us as well.
[00:24:01]  We told you yesterday what the craziness that went on in the U.S. Senate with Justin Pearson.
[00:24:07]  You know, he went ballistic.
[00:24:09]  Another person in the Senate standing on the Senate desk screaming and yelling.
[00:24:14]  Apparently, Democrats burned $64 million on this failed gerrymander.
[00:24:19]  Between that and the Supreme Court decision against racial gerrymandering, Democrats are in very tough shape right now because we're talking about about 20 seats or more.
[00:24:32]  And with the election of Donald Trump's handpicked people in Indiana, now that's going to come back in play.
[00:24:38]  You know, and Democrats just keep, you know, Doubling down on dumb, dumber, and stupid, you know, with their hammer the rich nonsense.
[00:24:47]  I mean, New York City, for example, you talk about a tax exodus.
[00:24:53]  There was an analysis today that IRS data shows a massive reallocation of adjusTedros income as taxpayers move from high cost coastal hubs to the South and West.
[00:25:09]  You know, red states.
[00:25:11]  Are taking in an additional $2,199.1 billion.
[00:25:17]  About what blue states like California lost $660 billion.
[00:25:24]  No, New York lost $660.
[00:25:26]  California, $503 billion.
[00:25:28]  That doesn't even include the more recent people.
[00:25:30]  My free state of Florida gained one.
[00:25:34]  I'm sorry.
[00:25:35]  I'm giving the wrong numbers here.
[00:25:38]  Forgive me.
[00:25:39]  This is based.
[00:25:43]  I wrote it down.
[00:25:47]  Should I get the Jeopardy music out?
[00:25:49]  I mean, I can do that for you.
[00:25:50]  No, no, look.
[00:25:50]  Nearly $2 trillion.
[00:25:52]  I'm talking about billions instead of trillions.
[00:25:54]  That's where I messed up.
[00:25:56]  I stand forgiven.
[00:25:58]  I forgive myself.
[00:25:59]  Nearly $2 trillion in economic growth leaving blue states.
[00:26:04]  $666 billion New York, $503 billion California.
[00:26:08]  Doesn't include this idiotic referendum that'll be on the ballot in November that'll be retroactive to.
[00:26:15]  January, that's pushing so many wealthy people out of there.
[00:26:19]  Illinois, $399 billion.
[00:26:22]  New Jersey, $212 billion.
[00:26:24]  Maryland, $120 billion.
[00:26:26]  Florida, the biggest winner, $1,293 billion.
[00:26:34]  Can you imagine?
[00:26:36]  Texas next, $371 billion.
[00:26:39]  Arizona, $203 billion.
[00:26:41]  South Carolina, $187 billion.
[00:26:44]  Same with North Carolina, $187 billion.
[00:26:47]  Wow.
[00:26:48]  I mean, my attitude is just keep doing what you're doing.
[00:26:52]  All these blue states.
[00:26:53]  Now, my warning to people that live in blue states be careful because they're going to have an exit tax and these wealth taxes, like this idiot mayor in Seattle and what they're proposing in California and what Mamdani wants in New York.
[00:27:11]  They're going to have a wealth tax.
[00:27:13]  They're going to have an exit tax.
[00:27:14]  If you're looking to get out, get out now before they put all of this in place because that means you'd leave and they'd still want to tax your income even after you left the state.
[00:27:25]  How insane is that?
[00:27:26]  Talk about a cash grab.
[00:27:29]  Another thing they're doing, by the way, they're now calling it a surtax, a tax increase.
[00:27:34]  All happening in blue states.
