My news found up and information overload. Our told free telephone numbers eight hundred and ninety four one seawn, if you want to be a part of the program. Do you ever think we'd be living in these times that we're living in? If you really think about this, Did you ever think that we'd a bandon Americans behind enemy lines? I never thought that day was possible we have. Do you ever think you'd see the mess at the border? No? I never thought it would ever get that bad. Now we have Mayorcas is literally out there in private conversations admitting now it was bad enough. Yesterday we got the news that another eighty five thousand illegal immigrants are on their way Panama. Out of Panama Haitian immigrants to the United States. And today we learned Joe Biden's open Borders chief liar and propagandis Alejandro Mayorcas, is predicting privately behind closed doors, that four hundred thousand new illegals are making their way to our border. And the only problem is that's not what he's telling the American people. You know, now we've got so, we've got Now we have a situation where we finally reach energy independence for the first time in seventy five years. And look what's happening. We're begging OPEC for production. You've got one point two trillion. I've gone over the money again and again and again. Here these numbers one point two trillion, six hundred billion, three point five trillion the real numbers. Mansion as a you know, he says, I'm only going to go up to one point five trillion in the reconciliation bill. Okay, well that's a total price tag of five trillion. You look at this Build back Better you know, AOC's green new deal insanity. It's it's not anything that we can afford. If you look at the reference. In twenty nineteen, our entire budget was four point four trillion for the year. You know, where are we going to get an extra ten to twelve trillion dollars? Because that's what we're talking about, you know, all right, So they're going to raise taxes. They build back Better plan, taxes on corporations and small businesses and individuals. You know, after you pay taxes your entire life, if you die, then sixty sixty two cents out of every dollar you still have, Well, they'll take that from you. I mean they want another bite at the apple. And you know the slide that if you make under four hundred thousand dollars a year, you're not gonna pay one penny. You have my word as a Biden. You mean like the word you gave Americans in Afghanistan and then thirteen laters you betrayed them and abandon them behind enemies lines. Corporations don't pay taxes, they pass them on to the consumer. And that's not all this, you know the second way the federal government's going to raise funds. Okay, quantitative easy? What's that? Printing money? What does printing money mean? Inflation? What does that mean? Your paycheck is less valuable? And everything you buy will become more expensive. Your grocery bill higher, the gas in your car to fill your tank costs more. The money to heat and cool your home will cost more. Raw materials, lumber, aluminum, you name it will cost more. Housing and rent prices will soar. And then if you add to all of this what Joe has done by giving up energy independence. All right, now we're paying a buck fifty more a gallon. We see now a barrel of oil headed back to ninety bucks a gallon. We see record prices for natural gas. Why because Joe artificially reduced the supply. This is simple economics, one on one supply and demand, criss cross and dictate the price. We've now artificially lowered the world supply of energy. What's happening. And it's making Russia and Putin rich again. It's making the you know, the oil producing nations in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia rich again. It's making a rand more powerful again because now the Straits of Hormuz are back in play for the United States. When more energy independent, it doesn't matter what happens in the Straights of Hormuz. Anyway. Here to wigh in on all of this is former Speaker of the House, New King Rich. By the way, in a month, as new book is coming out, I'm reading it now. It's called Beyond Biden, and this is going to be a book everybody's gonna want to read. We have a link on Hannity dot com if you want to get a first print edition. Mister Speaker, welcome back. Well, it's great to be with you. And these are absolutely amazing times. I just saw a note that they're now projecting four hundred thousand illegal immigrants in one month, that'll be seven times the number who came in the same month last year. And as you know, there's now a huge Haitian convoy coming north and the attitude of the by administration apparently is to greet them and welcome them and you know, make sure that they get free community college and if they go to Vermona, California, they'll be allowed to vote in local elections. And of course what that does is it sends the signal back to Haiti. We did a podcast Gingwich three sixty with the Gallup expert who lives in this and has covered Central America for forty years, and he said, this system now works. You fly from Porto Prince to Ecuador, come up through Columbia, across the jungle in the Darian area, come up through Panama, and then the cartel will actually for about eight thousand dollars take you from Mexico to wherever you want to go in the US. And he said, there's just waves of Haitians coming. The African entrance is you fly into Brazil and then you come north from Brazil and the last month, I think something like seventy one percent of the illegal immigrants who came across were in fact not from Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador. They were from all other countries something like one hundred and twenty countries now have people coming to the US. And then the Biden administration position of courses like good big government socialists, the let them all come in, we'd like the maximum number of the legal immigrants that we can get, and then this is just going to be come a title way. You know, I look at this and then I look at, you know, the state of the country, and I'm wondering, how is this possible, mister speaker. I didn't think Americans got the opportunity to pick and choose the laws they want to obey in those they don't obey. Our constitutional republican is based ahead. I'm just to say, these guys routinely break the law. Start with Hunter Biden, who's clearly a crook, and then just go through the whole process. Look at the district attorneys who refuse to enforce the law. They swear an oath to enforce the law, and now they refuse to do it. And of course the whole thing they're doing with the border is illegal. They're basically breaking the law is written. But if you are a real left winger, you have nothing but contempt for middle class, patriotic American laws, and you just think, well, of course I'm going to break you because I'm superior. I don't need to. That's why there are rumors that Biden may have avoided a half million dollars in tact. It's why John Kerry got caught for claiming to have put his yacht in a different state to save on taxes. These people routinely break the rules because they think they're an aristocracy, and I think the rest of us are stupid. You know, I look at the state of the country and I'm thinking, Okay, there's this when I asked you this question last night on TV, there's always this appeal that, oh, thank goodness, the government is going to take away every fear I have. They're going to take care of my children. I'll have free daycare. They're going to take care of even the illegal immigrants. They get free college. That's how great a country we are. It's going to be free, a guaranteed government wage, K through twelve education, K through college education, everything's free, guaranteed government healthy food, guaranteed retirement guaranteed. Now they're going to expand Obamacare. Here's my question, based on the track record of the very people making these promises. Aren't they the same people that promised to keep Social Security money in a lockbox and they rated it and it's now headed towards insolvency, and the same with medicare headed towards insolvency. Aren't these the same people that destroyed our public school system because they want union teacher money in their election races, so there are no standards, and by every measure we pay more per capita per student with the worst results in the world. Aren't these the same people that promise to keep your doctor plan and pay less and millions lost their doctors plans and everybody's paying about two hundred and fifty percent more with Obamacare. Why would people? Why? Why is there this desire to trust people that that fail with every previous promise. I'm having a hard time understanding the appeal here. We say, first of all, he simply replaced the word free with taxpayer funded. Can change the whole equation, and every taxpayer we in juralize none of the stuff is free. It's not going to be paid for by working Americans. Second, the news media in general is so radically far to the left now that they refused to cover things. Now they try to minimize telling you the truth. They tried, you know, they tried to get away from Afghanistan as fast as they can because it hurts Biden so much. You go down this list, and I think it's a huge problem, as you point out. I thought in the Virginia governor's race, it was a huge break this week when Glenn Youngcan was in favor of parents having a role in their schools and Terry, Terry mccaulloff came out, the former governor and said no, no, he does not want parents involved in the schools. And you look at the anger that's building now about left wing propaganda and left wing indoctrination. I thought it was a very decisive moment. But it's also true that Terry has got almost a million dollars out of the teachers unions, over a million dollars from Bloomberg, So he is spouting the left wing line. And it's the point you made. The schools don't work very well anymore. The answer would be reformed. The teachers unions a fight every inch of the way because they want to impose an indoctrinated left wing a literate country that they could then control. Let me ask you, because you are the architect of the contract with America. Republicans had not been in control of the House in forty years. I had a front row seat to history. I watched you. I watched you build this movement, beginning with renewing American Civilization, a series of tapes to build candidates knowledge on the issues of the day and what conservatism should be defined by. I learned a lot from you, and we've been dear friends ever since. To be very blunt, you're like my older brother that yells at me a lot. But in all seriousness, I learned a lot from you, and you're a story, and I just want the audience. I do not yell at you a lot. Little yell. If there's been an occasional Hannity, you're an idiot. You're ruining your career. I remember a call or two like that, but it's been occasional. Lot to think, by the way, mostly mostly well deserved. I'm not gonna lie I was an incorrigible child. The fact that I'm not in jail. I'm sure my parents in heaven are shocked. All right, So my question, there's no there's no doubt. So move beyond Biden. So you look at twenty twenty two, Okay, I think we have a great shot to take him back the house. Then you look at the Senate races. It's Florida, it's Georgia, it's North Carolina, South Carolina, it's New Hampshire, it's Pennsylvania, it's Wisconsin, it's Ohio, it's Nevada, it's Arizona. Now, if that's not the Bellweather of all Bellweather Senate races, I don't know what is now. I don't know what's going to happen. I've been with rich Scott the Center from Florida, who's the leader of the Center Republican Committee. He's very optimistic, he's very very smart. He also adds in Washington State. He said, we have an amazing candidate in Washington State. And I think basically what you're watching on Capitol Hill right now is the big government socialist desperately trying to to pass a huge bill. And people need to remember, despite mansions, language, despite cinemas, language, when it mattered. In August every single Democrat voted yes for this big government socialism, and so I think they're going to have to go back home Mark Kelly and Arizona's going to explain both why he's passive as four hundred thousand people across the border in one month, which in Arizona is a huge issue, and why he's voting with the hard left for higher taxes, bigger government, more controlled by unions. And I think he's every one of these states. I could imagine a sweep where we win the Senate maybe by a five or six seat margin, we win the House by somewhere between forty and sixty seats, and then we spend the next few years both on positive ideas, solutions at work, and having the kind of serious hearings we ought to be having about what's going on. You know, when Melilee Sherman's Joint Chiefs said that he absolutely did tell Biden not to take troops out of an Afghanistan, and Secretary Austin says the same thing, and the commander of the Central Command says the same thing, you have to ask a simple question, is Biden lying or does he have so much cognitive dysfunction that he literally has forgotten. I think the latter is actually a little more frightening than if he's just lying. But nobody on the other day on that hearing should just pose that question to these three officers in your judgment, you think the president for god what you told him, or do you think the president is just lying to the country. I think that would have been a powerful question, mister speaker, is great to have you would I know that the book is out in November second but if people want to first print edition, they can go to Hannity dot Com. There's a link up there to Amazon. Beyond Biden and we need to start thinking about the future and cleaning up the mess that he's making every day. You know, Joe Biden's presidency is in a complete collapse. I've never seen anything like it. Getting out of this is going to be difficult, mister speaker, Thank you for being well us. We appreciate you as always. Eight hundred nine one, Sean, you want to be a part of the program, quick break right back, we'll check in with Michael W. Smith and your calls. Final half hour of the program coming up straight ahead. This is the Sean Hannity Show, now heard on over six hundred and sixty radio stations across America. Thanks to all of you for making this happen. Sean Hannity. Right when we come back, we'll hit the phones eight hundred and nine for one, Sean. If you want to be a part of the program of Busy Hannity tonight, a lot of breaking news nineties. Turn on Fox. You're listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show. We'll have more of your favorite guest topics and memorable moments. That's all coming up. Oh, you are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show. Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take a second to hear the immortal Bob Grant's thoughts about the world today. Hey, ladies and gentlemy's sick and it's getting sicker. Now back to the Sean Hannity Show. I right twenty five to the top of the hour, one hundred and nine four one, Sean. You know, one of the reasons that we start with big and rich and we've changed music on the show over the years is some of these stupid people in the music industry. We're on like how many stations now, six seventy six sixty five. How many stations? Yeah, it's almost seven hundred, all right, So we're on more stations than any other show, by the way, thanks to all of you. And we're willing to play the music of people we like. I'm particularly am drawn to country music. I like Christian contemporary music too, but I'm not sure that would fit for the program because I probably cuss even too much for Linda's pastor, but he's used to it with her. But to be very frank, these people then send us cease and to sisth letters, and I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. And if you play more than what is it thirty seconds of a song, that's you owe a fortune. I mean we're not talking about a small amount of money. How much is it, Linda? If we get a violent dollars, they want one hundred and fifty grand. And meanwhile I'm promoting their music. I mean, it's so stupid. So one day I called my friend John Richard. I say, hey, John, do you mind if we use your song in the open to our to the radio program? And he says, no, I love it. That's great. Which one and the one you just heard it? Come into your City. That's the one I'm play and he didn't. There was no headache, no heartache. It was just two friends talking and we're best friends. And you know he was gracious about it. Took two seconds anyway. John Richards with us artist whiskey connoisseur, as we know his brand Redneck Riviera. He's also now hosting his own show on Fox Nation and also on the Fox Business Network called The Pursuit. He interviewed Charlie Daniels and what ended up being Charlie Daniels who we love his last interview. Listen, you know I think he would be. I think there's songs from heaven this still waiting for us to hear and get down and put on paper. So I got one final question. We ask ask every guest on The Pursuit this question as the final question, and that would be this, how has the right to pursue happiness changed your life? It is my life. I live my life. There's so many things I enjoy. You know, I enjoy eating. You probably tell that you know, enjoy a good glass of wine. I enjoy hunting. I don't get the chance to do it anymore. But I love I love my guns. I love fishing. I love being able to If I decided today to say, hey, let's cut on the lake wise and kitch some crappy you get in the car and go. Or let's go let's fly to Australia. Get your passport, you know, let's go somewhere. Let's do something. Nobody stopped me. A lot of places you couldn't do that. You couldn't go out of town you're in, you couldn't got to state you're in. Pursuit a happiness. Freedom and pursue a happiness go hand in hand together. Freedom to worship anywhere you want to, freedom to go anywhere you want to do anything you want to, to to say anything you want to, right, wrong, in different whatever. People don't have to listen to you, but you gotta right to say it. That's a pursuit of happiness. Be in the person, to reach your potential and be the person that God designed you, that you could reach your potential to be. That to me is a pursuit of happiness. God, family, country work. That's my four principles. Boy, that was powerful. Our buddy John Richards with us speaking rich How are you my friend? Hey, Sean, I'm good, I'm good Man. Just listening to Charlie say that again, what a lifetime honor that was for me to sit with him. Who knew that nineteen days later he was going to pass away, And you know, to have that on record is that's that's what was on his mind and the things that you'll see in this interview tonight. I asked him lot of questions and you know how Charlie was. He didn't hold back, He didn't care about yes, he was just going to tell you the truth. You know, you know, when you really think about it, this is what I think we're missing in society now. Because I give this one minute speech on what it means to be a conservative, and if you want to hear it, I'll give it to you. And it's very simple. Conservatism is not complicated, but it's rooted in what Charlie said, God, faith, family, and country. And we believe in liberty. We believe in freedom. We believe in capitalism, our constitution, less government, limited government, lower taxes, less bureaucracy. We want choice for our kids, for schools. We want law and order and safety and security in our towns and cities. Very simple stuff. Free market healthcare solutions that take into account pre existing conditions. We want constitutionalists, those that believe in that document on the bench. We want let's see, secure borders, legal immigration. We want energy independence we had it under Donald Trump. We want free and fair trade. We want peace through strength. And that pretty much sums it up, John Rich. It's not that frigging complicated, if I can say it. So basically, everything that's opposite of what's going on right now in the country monthly totally opposite of everything you just said. So the way I look at it, because it's not my opinion, it's what it says. It's in the Declaration of Independence. It calls it our inalienable rights, meaning they are not rights given to us by man or given to us by government. They're given to us by God himself, by the creator of mankind. And it says that those rights are life liberty and not the right to be happy, the right to pursue happiness. And so this show I've got to pursue. I sit people down Sean of all kinds of backgrounds, all different kinds of Americans, who have pursued happiness. They have absorbed failure, they have dealt with with defeat, they've dealt with disappointment that they continue to pursue happiness to exhaust their potential. If there was ever a human being that exhausted their potential, it is Charlie by God Daniels, and so tonight on this show. This is the first time this has ever been seen on television. That's nine o'clock to eastern eight o'clock Central, Fox Business Network. This is honestly one of the most proud moments of my life, Seohn, was to sit with Charlie Daniels and ask him these questions and learn his story. He was always a hero of mine, and he did a lot of the Freedom Concert tours with us. We raised millions and millions of dollars that had now been distributed. I got a note over twenty some oddmillion dollars to the children of slain soldiers for scholarships for college. He was a big part of that movement, and believe me, it was a very heavy lift. Yeah, let me go back to something you said, because your life is fascinating to me. Hanging out with you was always a trip. And if anyone had the opportunities that I've had in life to hang out and party with John Rich I'm warning you it's gonna be a long night. You're gonna wreek of cigars and some type of whiskey. Even though I don't even drink whiskey. He makes me do it. He's the only person that can make me drink a shot of a redneck Riviera whiskey for crying out out anyway. And it's fun. But you set something deep and profound here. And by the way, the soul of the musician comes through when their writing and in their playing. So you have this background. You're the son of a pastor, you know, but yet you raise hell when you go out and party. I know because I've been there and there's nobody more fun to party with. And you got this, this soulful side of you. And then you just said something really profound, and that is that our rights come from God. You believe as I believe that every human being on this earth. These are called natural rights, God given rights. I believe the word education from the Latin drive. If a ducare means to bring forth from within, well is within is what God put in you. God put in you an ability to sing. God gave me a big fat mouth. I wish I had the ability to sing because that looks a little bit more fun than what I'm doing. But you know, I'm not complaining. And a lot of people we don't understand freedom anymore. Like, for example, look at the choice that some people have made. These people are willing to give up their pensions, policemen, teachers, nurses, military personnel, and they're willing to They're standing on their freedom. Nobody's going to convince them at this point whether they should get the shot or not get the shot. They've made up their mind, John, And now we're going to fire first responding nurses and our military personnel that risked their lives for us because they have a personal conviction that we that maybe many disagree with. Yeah, from heroes to zeros in twelve months flat, that's exactly how they're being treated. So here's what I see in the country, Sean. I see more and more every day America being divided into two groups. And it's not along political lines, racial lines, gender lines, eco status, none of that, economy status, none of that. I see one group that believes what they're being told and one group that doesn't. That's it. I mean, ask yourself, why twenty eight percent of African Americans are vaccinated. That means seventy are not well. A lot of those folks are not Republicans. They don't vote conservatives. They don't agree with a lot of the things. I might believe it, but they have made up their mind. I don't trust what I'm being told at this point. I want to know more about it before I make a decision that big for my life. And so the government comes in and says, no, I don't think so. You said how to define freedom? They are changing the way they're trying to anyway, the way we view freedom. They want us to believe that that the government giveth and the government take away in reality are inalienable, right. It's the Lord giveth and the Lord take it away. Is not God the government. It's just one size fits all medicine. That really bothers me. It's all these people. I don't care if they're Hollywood actors or radio hosts or TV hosts or politicians in Washington. Oh, you gotta get the vaccine, got to get the vaccine. Well, there are people that have rare conditions that their doctors recommend. They don't get it. Number one, number two for whatever reason there And I think a lot of vaccine hesitancy, and I believe in science was created by the government because they change their mind and there and their protocols almost on a daily basis. So I think they've created their own distrust here. But I'm trying to find a way that people don't lose their pensions. John, and I'm saying, well, if if they're not going to get it, and they made up their mind, will you at least test them every day and then this way they can keep their pension and pay their bills. Well, there's a word for what they're doing, for what you just describe. You know what that word is, Sean. It's called coercion. It's called coercion. When you threaten people that if they don't do something, something bad's going to happen to them, so you better go do it. That's called coercion. And so you've got people saying, listen, I can't find a long term study. I've got a friend that was vaccinated and they caught COVID and they died in the hospital. I don't trust doctor Fauci. I don't They've got a list of reasons, and as Americans, they should be allowed to have their list of reasons and make the best decision that they think. Well wait a minute, doctor Fauci says that being analized, there comes a point that you should give up your freedom for the greater good. John Rich, you didn't hear that. Now, that's called communism. Yeah, one oh one, baby, that's communism, that's what that's what that means, the greater good, the community. You know, we have actual communists in this country, whether they want to declare that or not. You know, the only thing communists have ever ruled over sean burning piles of destruct That's it. And so if you ask yourself, why are these people actively destroying our country right now on so many levels? Why are they doing that because they have to destroy it sean before they can rule it. What did you do? What did you think of Travis Tritztance that he said that debt on the money? You know, I listen, there's a show that I let go of as well. I just didn't publicize it. But I cut one out too. I said, no, I'm not going to be debate on the hook. Did you throw out there into the water to get country music fans to possibly do something that they don't really want to do just so they can hear me sing a country song. I will not be a part of this coercion tactic. All right, quick break more with John Rich on the other side, top of the hour. He is now closing in very closely on this November second race against Terry mcculoff Virginia gubernatorial candidate. Glenn Young Kid will join us, and oh, Terry had a bad day yesterday. We've got the tape straight ahead, Sleepy. Joe just signed more executive actions in one week than most presidents did in their entire term. So much our democracy looks like Joe is the new dictator. Entities on right now, and we continue. John Rich joins us, of course, a big and rich and the host of the Pursuit on Foxnation dot com. You know, it's interesting whether you agree or disagree, it's not even a debate anymore about vaccindon facts. It's not because they made up their mind. And so at this point is is there another solution that we can save people from losing their careers and their jobs and their benefits and their pensions. I'm looking at the human side. You know, I don't listen. I get a flu shot every year, and people half my friends think I'm nuts, Lenda thinks I'm nuts, and then the other half of my friends think they do the same thing. But you have these discussions. I don't know why people make the decisions they make, but clearly nobody's going to be able to convince them at this point. I don't believe everything that can be said has been said. Well that is correct, And at the end of the day, the harder the government tries to force feed people and can cattle prod them into a decision that they're not comfortable with, the stiffer their necks are going to get. And this comes down to individual freedom. Listen, Sean, we know that vaccinated people can still catch the virus, and they can still spread the virus that's been established. We know these things. So people take all of it into account and they make up their own decision. But a Sean, there's a million people a week ken cramming into college football stadiums and they're not wearing masks, and they're not having to show vax papers, and they're not having to take a PCR test before they walk in. But the police have to and the nurses have to. They weren't vaccinated last year when they were out being the heroes. So it's all nonsense in its hypocrisy, and it is causing major division in this country and it's not going to end well if somebody doesn't pull the rip cord and allow people to be free again. John Rich, we appreciate you being with us Redneck Verviera Whiskey The Pursuit on Foxnation dot Com, Fox Business Network, Thank you, sir for being with us. Charlie Daniels your next interview.
