Speaker 2 (01:19):
Hi. Thanks Scott shan An hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Toll free. Our number is eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
It's always a pleasure to have back here. South Dakota
Governor Christy Nomas with us. She has a new book
that is out. It's on Amazon dot com. We put
it up on Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere. No going
(01:40):
back to truth on what's wrong with politics and how
we move America forward.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Congratulations, Governor.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Although you know I've been watching the never ending attacks
against you, you may be regretting writing the book at
this point.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
No, No, the book is fantastic and I hope people
go out and buy it. It really is a book
that I think the American citizen will enjoy. I'm I'm
kind of used to the attack, Sean. If you remember,
I went through hell in twenty twenty in COVID when
I kept my state open and refused to mandate vaccines
and masks. I didn't have a single friend, Republican or
(02:18):
Democrat out there defending me for months on end. And
you know, since then, there's just been I think.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We were pretty fair to you on this program, to
be very blunts.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You were, you were, but it was but it was
a pretty brutal time. And we've been through these before,
and that's you know, this is a book that's filled
with stories and painful decisions and challenges that we've been through,
but it also is it's a how to for the
average American citizen and what they can do to get
involved in their government in politics, and you know, step
(02:50):
by step what they can do to make their voices heard.
I think a lot of people in this country right
now are discouraged. They think their votes don't count. They do,
they need to show up and vote. It also tells
them what works, you know, what kind of corruption there
is and the money and consultants in politics, but what
they can do as average citizen to really move the
needle on making sure that America stays as special as
(03:13):
it's always been.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We discussed a little bit about this, but I want
to do it on radio today because and just give
you an opportunity to explain in your own words. I
find this controversy over your admission that you had to
shoot a dog that was out killing chickens and became
a terror in biting people, et cetera. And I thought
(03:34):
a lot about Joe Biden's German shepherd. And you know,
first we heard that Joe Biden's German shepherd had bitten
a Secret Service agent. I think the final number that
I heard was twenty four. The dog's name is Commander.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Usually my understanding being has always been if you have
a German shepherd biting twenty four people, and how that
was allowed to occur to me, is unbelievable. After the
first bite or the second, maybe Max, something should have happened.
They either had to keep that dog locked up away
from any strangers or any people at all, or usually
(04:13):
a practice would be unfortunately, sadly, because I love dogs,
obviously you love them, is that the dog would have
to be put down. And you described a dog that
you had to put down and that you had shot
the dog. And there's been no reaction to Joe Biden's
dog biting twenty four Secret Service agents. And all people
(04:33):
want to talk about is you admitting this in your book.
And I'm like, okay, is that a little bit of
a double standard. No, that's a huge double standard.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, No, it definitely is. I mean, how many people
does commander have to attack and hurt and harm and
injure before some responsibility is taken and something is done.
And those Secret Service agents, I'm sure wonder who's going
to be next. And for me, this is a twenty
year old story, and it was it was a hard,
hard decision because I was choosing between and it was
(05:06):
an adult working dog that was extremely dangerous, It was
killing livestock, it was attacking people, and I had to
choose between the safety of my children. I had little
kiddos there at the time, and every day at our business,
our hunting lodge, we had people in and out, and
my brothers and sisters all we had a dozen little
kids running around every day. And this was a dangerous situation,
very tough situation. So I hope that people, you know,
(05:29):
understand that that's that's why it's in the book. You know,
my political opponents have in South Dakota have known this
story for years and tried to use it against me,
and I'm not what I want them to learn. And
what I say at the end of that story is
that I want them to know that I don't run
from the truth, and I don't try to hide from
making tough decisions. I take on my own personal responsibilities,
(05:54):
and that's what I think is good.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
What I hear you're saying there is you didn't take
any joy in having to do this, but something had
to be done.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Am I hearing you right?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It was my responsibility to deal with and I didn't
ask anybody else to do my job, even though it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was Joe Biden's responsibility. After one or two Secret Service
agents were bitten to make sure it never happened again.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And that didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And you know all these people, you know, on their
high horse with their sanctimony out there, you know, attacking
you and lecturing you. Why won't they ask the president
that question? How did how did you allow twenty four
Secret Service agents to be bitten before? Oh, maybe I
have to move them to another place.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And then the issue came up in the book about
Kim Jong gun, whether you met him or you didn't
meet with him, and I watched I was trying to
watch an interview. And this is why nobody watches these
Sunday programs because they were unwatchable, and it just was
I don't think you were able to get an answer
out for more than a little over twenty seconds before
(06:58):
you interrupted again and again and again on the issue
of Kim Jong gun.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And I want you to explain it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
No, that was Margaret, and she she interrupted me thirty
six times during that interview, over and over and over again.
And I reminded her.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That, well, how could anybody watch that. I'm sorry, go ahead,
I'm doing what she did. Go ahead to finish your answer.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, it's it's it's I. It was well for her.
It was such a double standard too, because she doesn't
treat anybody else that way she does. The last dozen
interviews i'd watched that she'd done, she let everybody speak
and answer the questions, and she didn't let me. She
didn't give me that privilege. And I asked her why
she was treating me differently. But the fact of the
matter is is that I have traveled the world. I've
worked on policy for over thirty years. I've met with
(07:39):
many world leaders somewhere in the book, some are not
in the book, And when this was brought to my attention,
we removed the content of the name. So that's that's
I'm just not going to speak about my meetings with
world leaders and I'm not going to hear and you know,
we've we've talked, addressed the content of it. So that's
what I wanted to say to her, but was not
(08:00):
letting me talk and kept asking me over and over again.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So let me ask you this. You know, one thing
I've been very blessed in my life. I grew up
in Long Island, New York. But one of the experiences
is I traveled the Country and lived five years in
Rhode Island after being raised in Long Island, five years
in California, two years in Alabama, four years in Georgia,
and then when Fox went on the air in nineteen
ninety six, Boom, I was home, and I at least
(08:26):
thought it was home. It's not my home anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But I learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I learned how that different parts of the country just
have they're just different. For example, I had never heard
of a switch. I know it's a little funny to
some people. You know my father, you know, if I
did something wrong, he ripped out the belt and I
would tell you and argue that I didn't wasn't traumatized
by it. And I deserved every single time that I
got it. And in the South they use a switch
(08:54):
one quick example. And the benefit of learning that there
are different ways of life looking at things and how
you do things in life based on where you grow
up in the country has been a real educational experience
for me, and hence that brings me to South Dakota.
I see South Dakota and the people there. They're rugged individualists,
(09:14):
they're hard working, their salt of the earth, their God family.
Country kind of people my kind of people, and I
certainly share more South Dakota values than I do New
York values, which I share none. That's why I left.
And I think a lot of people need that perspective
sometimes and they don't have it well.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And I've had people reach out to me from all
across the country. I think it's important that people know that,
especially in the situation that every single state has a
law in place that allows for an animal that's dangerous
like this to be handled this way, and the American
Veterinarian Association says this is a humane way to take
responsibility for a animal. So I think that, yes, this
(09:55):
is a lot of political attacks, it's a lot of
people being critical, but you know, this whole book is
filled with, you know, conversations and stories of what my
life has been like, growing up, my experiences. But I
hope what people get out of the book is that
we live in a country right now that is addicted
(10:15):
to being offended. We just love to be offended by
each other, and we quit talking to each other and
instead everybody's yelling. And my background, I've learned that the
more diverse we you know, perspective, background, experiences, culture, that
you have sitting at a table, the better policy you're
going to have, the better debate and discussion you're going
to have, you're going to end up having a better
(10:37):
result for every family that lives in this country. And
we need to learn to have civil discourse again and
start talking to people rather than just blowing them up
like we see so many times in our political discussions today.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
All right, quick break more with Governor Christy Noomes, South Dakota.
Her new book is out, No Going Back to Truth
of What's Wrong with Politics and how We Move America Forward.
It's on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com bookstores all
across the country. I would continue with South Dakota Governor
Christy Nomans with us. The new book is out. It's
on Amazon dot Comhanity dot com bookstores around the country.
(11:10):
It's called No Going Back the Truth on What's Wrong
with Politics and how We Move America Forward. It's interesting
because the title No Going Back, I mean you're really
taking on the establishment wing of the Republican Party and
you're talking about establishment Republicans or the met romneys of
the world, and that way is not the way to
(11:32):
move forward. Now, there are certain conservative principles that I
would argue are timeless. Taxes being cut, regulations being cut.
America first, to me, has got to always be our policy.
Peace through strength. That will always be your principle, A
timeless principle. I see now that America has abandoned a
(11:54):
lot of those policies and principles, and frankly, the radicals
have taken over the government. Nobody he's benefiting from it.
Look at the border, look at the economy, look at
the state of affairs in the world. I can't think
of anything that's going right under Joe Biden and the
radical Democrats that are in power right now.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, that's exactly right. And what happened is the last
couple of years, I've heard so many people say they
wished they could go back to those days of you know,
the Romney's bushes or whatever, before before Donald Trump came
onto the scene, before Donald Trump came onto the political scene,
and they say, you know, I wish we could go
back to that. And really, this book is a message
(12:32):
that we're not going back. There's no going back. Donald
Trump broke politics, and I think that's a good thing.
I think we have now the ability for elected officials
to be honest, to say what they think, to embrace
who they are. You know, Donald Trump doesn't try to
pretend to be anything that he's not. He's just himself
and it resonates with the American people. They appreciate his
(12:55):
honesty and his candor and his genuine approach to communication.
And that should be a lesson to every single person
to run for office, is that you don't have to
be perfect. You can have flaws and make mistakes, but
the American people want to know that you care and
that you're going to fight for them, and that you
should be who you are rather than be pretending to
be something else that you know, politicians used to think
(13:17):
the American people wanted to see in their elected officials.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You know, I used to care what people would writer
say about me. I can tell you, and just one
hundred percent being totally honest, I don't care at all anymore.
You know, I care about my audience, I care about
my family. I care about being the person that God
wants me to be. In short of that, I don't
really give a flying rip about what everybody else is
thinking about me. Or if I show up at a
(13:41):
restaurant and I can see discussed on somebody's face that
I dare to read the same are that they're breathing.
I had Governor DeSantis on you know, I moved to
Florida and you know the issue of what's happening with
schools is not happening in this state because he's not
going to tolerate You're not going to tolerate it either.
(14:02):
That's the kind of person that I like in office.
People that will take a tough stand and take all
the heat that goes along with it and frankly not
bad an eyelash.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Yeah, when these college protests started to pop up a
week or so ago, a couple of weeks ago, I
had a phone call with my border regents and my
university presidents and I said, I just want you to
understand that that's not going to happen in South Dakota.
We are not putting up with that.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, what was their reactions?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
They were? I said, run me through your emergency operations plan.
I want to hear what you're going to do if
there is a planned protest, and I want you to
know that I'm going to be available, that my law
enforcement will be there if we need an emergency Operations Center,
we will do that. The National Guard will be ready
and activated, and that as soon as somebody throws one
thing or says one thing that is violent and is
(14:47):
not a peaceful protest and says something that is hateful
like we see going on that's causing a lot of
these universities to cancel their graduations. It's just not going
to happen in South Dakota. So I appreciated that candid
conversation with those university presidents and they they I think
they appreciated it too, to know that this would be
a partnership and that we weren't going to let it
(15:07):
happen in South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You know, I'm proud of my daughter. She graduated from
college recently. I'm not going to give the college away.
I just don't talk about my family that much. But
she called me days before the graduation and said, you know, Dad,
they don't They're not going to let us walk. They're
not going to let us do this. Why am I bothering?
And I said, I said, I'll support whatever decision you want.
And she decided not to go, and she's she was
(15:32):
a great student and she's a great kid. And I
was very proud of her making that decision on her
own and I said, whatever you want, I'll support. And
I thought it was an adult decision and it was.
It ended up being more right than we ever knew
and I and I think that's what individualism is all about.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Anyway, I did enjoy the book.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It's called No Going Back, The Truth of What's Wrong
with Politics, How We Move America Forward on Amazon dot
comhanity bookstores around the country. And probably the mob and
the media think that they were hurting you. I would
imagine your pull numbers in South Dakota will go up
and that the people of South Dakota are not going
to be swayed by a bunch of New York and
(16:13):
DC liberal media mob participants about what they say about you.
That's my guests, But we appreciate your time, Governor as always.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, I appreciate it too, Sean, thanks so much, and
you have a wonderful day. Thanks for having me on.
And I do hope people go out and buy their
copy of the book and read it for themselves and
make their own judgments. I'd appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No going appreciate it, Governor Christin No. Eight hundred ninety
four one Shawn is our number. If you want to
be a part of the program, We'll hit the phones.
We have a lot more news. We still have to
get to twenty five to the top of the hour
toll free. Our numbers eight hundred and nine four one
Shawn if you want to be a part of the program. Well,
ever since October the seventh, Israel has been living and
the Israelis have been living under harsh conditions and the
(16:54):
harsh reality of terror. Every single day, many of our
friends in Israel are displaced. The need for people on
the ground for food and medicine and supplies is beyond
anything I can even explain to you. Our partners and
friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're
on the ground. They have been from day one. They're
(17:16):
addressing all of these urgent needs, and there are many
they can't keep up. They're also packing emergency bomb shelter
kits that can be delivered immediately because of a missiles fired,
they have about thirteen seconds to get to safety, so
they're trying to put them in strategic places all around
the country. Anyway, your life saving donation is helping assemble
(17:37):
and place these kits with enough food and life saving
emergency supplies for the twenty people that can fit, and
every bomb shelter mobile bomb shelter that they're putting around
the country. The cost to put together and distribute these
kits is two hundred and ninety bucks each. Thanks to
a matching challenge gift by the way, from a very
generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will double in its impact
(18:02):
and provide twice the support. If you can do it
today is a toll free number they now have. It's
eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight eight eight
triple eight four eight eight IFCJ, or just give online
at SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That support IFCJ dot org and
(18:22):
thank you for your generosity. I've been making this case
for a long time. Any Democratic moderate that ever existed,
that party is gone. You know, when the Democratic Party
basically tried to push out the former vice presidential candidate
Joe Lieberman out of Connecticut, he had to run as
(18:44):
an independent and he did win a Seatback to me,
that was like the canary in the coal mine. I
knew Joe Lieberman, he recently passed away. Loved him, loved
his wife, Adasa, wonderful family, great people. We had a
fun relationship. We agree on a lot of issues involving
national security. We disagreed on a lot of social issues.
But he's somebody you can have a conversation with about
(19:07):
anything and ask him any question and you can disagree
without it being just vicious and nasty, like pretty much
everything else is today. And but it's become the Party
of the squad. If you think that Mansion was a
more moderate Democrat, he's leaving. If you think that Kristen
Cinema was a more moderate Democrat, he's leaving. You know,
(19:28):
the radicals now run Washington. They run and control Joe Biden,
you know, and as evidenced by listen to Michael Moore.
You know, I guess they've dragged him out of mothballs
thinking that somebody actually cares what he thinks, because I
don't think many people do, you know, you know, supporting
campus protesters taking over buildings. Oh that's not violence, really,
(19:50):
it's not.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Listen, you do have the right to take over the
administration building. I'll tell you, just speaking from Flint, we
would have no UAW, no autoworkers union. And if back
in the thirties, the autoworkers, including my uncle, had not
taken over the factories. They broke windows, they locked all
the doors, They kept all the police in the National
(20:13):
Guard out for forty four straight days in the middle
of winter until they won the right to be recognized
by general motors and to be paid a living wage.
That only happened because they took over the factories. Yes,
you have to take over buildings. That is not violence.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh because on January sixth, when people went into the
Capitol that was taking over a building. According to Democrats,
that's not violence. Michael Moore says it pretty unbelievable. But
these are the times that we live in and the conditions.
The double standard just you know, never stops. Then I
(20:52):
got a kick out of this. Maxim Waters was on
MSDNZ claiming that Trump has connected organization. Trump could organizations
have training camps, training camps up in the hills preparing
to attack if he loses.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Listen, I want to know about all of those right
wing organizations that he's connected with who are training up
in the hills somewhere and targeting you know what communities
they are going to attack.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, coming from the same person, you know, get in
their faces and follow them into.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
The grocery store and blah blah blah. On top of
all the other crazy stuff, she said over the ears.
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth.
Do see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in
a department store, at.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
A castoline station. You get out and you create a crowd.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And you just back on them and you tell them, then,
oh good, the people are going to turn on them.
They're going to protest, They're going to absolutely harass them
until they decide that they are going to tell the President, no,
I can't hang with you. I did not threaten his
constituents to support us.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I do that all the time, but I didn't do
it at that time.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
This is a bunch of scumbags, that's what they ought.
And with this kind of inspiration, I will go and
take Trump out to night.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
He just can't make this stuff up. Wow, what a
double standard? Just like okay, they want to focus on
January sixth. Why did they ignore the five hundred and
seventy four riots in the summer of twenty twenty. Why
is Joe so quiet as it relates to those people
taking over buildings on college campuses today. There's no sense
of urgency because he can't win for losing, because he
(22:42):
knows he's losing everybody's support, and he doesn't know whether
to go left or right or what position to take.
How about he just do the morally right thing and
support Israel's right to win their war against terrorists that
attacked them. Nobody bothered us and told us how to
fight our war against radical terror for US after nine
to eleven, pretty unreal. All right, let's get to our
(23:04):
busy telephones here. Let's say hi to Tim and Louisiana. Tim, Hi, sir,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Sir?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
How's it going good?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (23:13):
So, I just wanted to mention I serve in the military.
I've served for nine years. I remember distinctly what I
signed up for, the reasons why I signed up for.
I have a military family from keeping the tradition. I
remember watching nine to eleven on a TV when I
was younger, and I speak for some of some people
in the military that I know personally, not for the
(23:33):
military itself, but we're a little dis disheartened with the protest.
We fight for things like free speech, the right to
bear arms, and for peaceful protest. And this is not
what we're seeing. I know several people I've talked to
who've even mentioned, Hey, I don't know if I want
to continue my service. I'm just confused on what I'm
(23:54):
fighting for, and I'm confused on the state of the country.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Listen, you and a bunch of other people. I mean,
there's a lot of people that really, you know, are
concerned about the state of the country. But I do
have good news, and I've been saying all day. You know,
I want to deputize all of you. You know, if
you care about the future of the country, if you're
alarmed by by Joe Biden's weakness on the world stage,
abdicating his role as the leader of the free world,
(24:22):
if you're but I will tell you in one hundred
and eighty two days, you know. And by the way,
it's less than that, because you've got a factor in
early voting, and we put all of this on Handity
dot com. What is the deadline to register to vote?
Click on your state Hannity dot com. It's an interactive map.
When does when does registration end? What do you need
(24:42):
in terms of ID for your particular state. Are you registered?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
When?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
When does early voting start? Can you vote by mail?
How do you get your ballot?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
What day? You know?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
All of this information we're putting up every state on
Hannity dot com. It's an informational tool, so you will
be a well informed voter. Please take advantage of it.
We've spent a lot of time putting that together. Anyway,
I appreciate the call, Tim, Thank you. Let's go to
Marty in Kansas. Marty, Hi, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Sean?
Speaker 9 (25:15):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm good, sir. How are you?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
It's a pleasure to.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Talk to you. I listened to you all the time.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
I love your show.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'm telling you about bill that Congress pass last week,
sixty hr sixty ninety anti simitism bill.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
I know what's going on at these.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
College campuses and all the protests, and that's all wrong.
And I'm one hundred percent behind Israel. I'm a born
again Christian and I believe that's the Holy Land, and
the Bible is very clear about Israel, and I stand
one hundred percent with Israel. But my concern is.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
The wrong people could take this and say that the
Bible is hate speech. They because whenever Jesus was crucified,
you know, some of the Jews did holler, you know,
crucified Jesus and release barrabus, and that could be considered
hate speech. If churches are preaching against homosexuality.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
That could be considered hate speech, and they could close
churches down and arrest preachers and actually tried to ban
the Bible because they could say it's hate speech. And
that's my concern and so but anyway, I don't know
how you feel about that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But look, I mean, people, can you know I find
this amazing, Like you have these woke triggered you know,
little princes and princesses all over these college campuses.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You know, they get triggered by.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The wrong pronoun And well, we don't really we're not
in any condition to take our final exams Columbia Law students.
We really need to be we really need to just
all be given passing grades. This has been too traumatic
for us. I'm like, okay, really, am I supposed to
buy that? We're really supposed to believe that for a second.
But that's what they would have you believe. It's insane. Anyway,
(27:16):
I'll give you the last word.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Well, I I just support the Bible one hundred percent,
and I believe we're living into last day, and I
believe they're going to come after our Bibles. And please
pray for Kansas and Oklahoma because we're in for some
bad storms. Tornadoes and hell as big as softballs are
coming our way, is what they're predicting. So please keep
candas and I'll come in your prayers.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I totally completely agree with you, and you know I'll
keep you in your prayers, and I don't want anyone hurt.
Please take into consideration what the authorities are telling you
and the experts are telling you, and be prepared. That's
the best way, you know. I know a lot of
people and a lot of these states. Have you know
tornado shelters? I mean, Tornado Alley is real. I've never
(28:04):
seen a tornado. I did have one earthquake I lived through,
but that's about it, and it wasn't that bad. I'm
kind of scary to us that my mother nature can
put reality right in front of your face pretty quick.
I'll tell you that. Yeah, any all right, thank you,
my friend, appreciate it. Quick break right back more of
your calls coming up eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn,
(28:24):
if you want to be a part of the program,
back to our busy phones. Let us say hello to
Sean and Florida, the Free State of Florida. What's up,
my friend?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
How are you.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Hey, Shawn? I sure appreciate your time and the work
that you do. This is an extraordinary honor for me
to speak to you today. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well, the honor is all mine. Glad you called. Glad
you're out there, my friend.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
Yes, sir, I don't want to take a lot of time.
I was listening to the show on Friday with a
guest host, and I was a little distracted, but I
heard kind of a phrase that caught my attention a
little bit, and he said something to the effect of
not a quote, but he said something to the effect of,
we need to pass better oversight for aid that's going
(29:08):
to Ukraine, because basically it's a free for all and
there is no oversight for aid going to Ukraine. And
it triggered the thought in my mind. I'm a US
Navy veteran served on the last diesel electric submarine in
the US fleet fighting against the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia,
(29:29):
was four deployed for five years and then got out
of the military. And I'm an ordained minister now, been
in ministry for over thirty years. But my family and
I started working in Ukraine twenty three years ago. So
we've been serving there, helping children at risk and traumatized
kids there for a little over twenty three years. And
(29:49):
so when somebody says something like that, it triggered the thought,
why historically have we always supported those nations that broke
away from the decrepit Soviet Union and supported Israel of course,
and then suddenly, for some reason, those same people that
supported Ukraine Budapest Memorandum, their independence, their sovereign territory, their sovereignty,
(30:15):
their integrity, territorial integrity, and all of these were positive. Forgey.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Everything you're saying is predicated on one little part. That's
not true. That America did offer them a ton of help,
you know, over one hundred billion dollars and in this
latest ad aid package, you know, the bulk of.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Moneys were going to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Now, I think Putin is a thug and a murder,
murder and a dictator. However, I've been extraordinarily disappointed with Europe.
As per usual, they want to put the financial burden
on the American people, and I think that, you know,
aid money is something we need to reconfigure. We can't
afford aid money in the hundreds of billions of dollars
(30:58):
like this and survive economically. But I'm okay with the
idea of lending countries' money when they find themselves in
a time of war. But first, Europe, it's their continent.
They need to step up and defend their continent. Secondly,
we can't have a president dictating the president's as Zolensky
had to fight a war, like when he vetoed Poland,
(31:19):
giving you know, twenty.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Eight fighter jets to to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I mean, if you're not going to fight to win
the war, why are we spending one penny? And lastly,
I will say that I have applaud the people of Ukraine.
They have fought valiantly and I think they have far
surpassed people's expectations. I feel for them. I admire their
courage and their their steadfastness. It's a it's a very
(31:47):
difficult uphill battle. I think the world's been shocked by
how weak Vladimir Putin has shown himself to be in
some ways.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
But I will tell you this, this.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Needs to be the continent of Europe doing the majority
of help and support. We've only given a fraction of
the money we've given Ukraine to Israel, and again I
would do it in the form of a loan, not
in the form of monies that are not going to
be repaid.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I hope that answers your question, and thank you for
the good work that you do. Anyway, eight hundred and
nine point one SEAWAN is a number if you want
to be a part of the program.
But we're coming.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Your sentence, I get saying you a contra zune will
be desire high a jail.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
And if you want a little banging a union, I
come along. Good bought up, respectfully.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
The president has been the No other president has spoken
about anti Semitism then this president.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
No matter of what's right, there's the right to protest,
but not the right to cause chaos.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And these men and women put their lives on the line.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And it's suspicable that schools will allow another country flag
to fly in our country.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
One and eighty two days in until America.
Speaker 7 (00:55):
Were coming to your.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Sentence, don't saying you a conscious song?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
From coast to coast, from border to border, from c
to Shining Sea. Sean Kennedy is on.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Hi. Thanks Scott shan An hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Toll free. Our number is eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
It's always a pleasure to have back here. South Dakota
Governor Christy Nomas with us. She has a new book
that is out. It's on Amazon dot com. We put
it up on Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere. No going
(01:40):
back to truth on what's wrong with politics and how
we move America forward.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Congratulations, Governor.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Although you know I've been watching the never ending attacks
against you, you may be regretting writing the book at
this point.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
No, No, the book is fantastic and I hope people
go out and buy it. It really is a book
that I think the American citizen will enjoy. I'm I'm
kind of used to the attack, Sean. If you remember,
I went through hell in twenty twenty in COVID when
I kept my state open and refused to mandate vaccines
and masks. I didn't have a single friend, Republican or
(02:18):
Democrat out there defending me for months on end. And
you know, since then, there's just been I think.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
We were pretty fair to you on this program, to
be very blunts.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You were, you were, but it was but it was
a pretty brutal time. And we've been through these before,
and that's you know, this is a book that's filled
with stories and painful decisions and challenges that we've been through,
but it also is it's a how to for the
average American citizen and what they can do to get
involved in their government in politics, and you know, step
(02:50):
by step what they can do to make their voices heard.
I think a lot of people in this country right
now are discouraged. They think their votes don't count. They do,
they need to show up and vote. It also tells
them what works, you know, what kind of corruption there
is and the money and consultants in politics, but what
they can do as average citizen to really move the
needle on making sure that America stays as special as
(03:13):
it's always been.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We discussed a little bit about this, but I want
to do it on radio today because and just give
you an opportunity to explain in your own words. I
find this controversy over your admission that you had to
shoot a dog that was out killing chickens and became
a terror in biting people, et cetera. And I thought
(03:34):
a lot about Joe Biden's German shepherd. And you know,
first we heard that Joe Biden's German shepherd had bitten
a Secret Service agent. I think the final number that
I heard was twenty four. The dog's name is Commander.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Usually my understanding being has always been if you have
a German shepherd biting twenty four people, and how that
was allowed to occur to me, is unbelievable. After the
first bite or the second, maybe Max, something should have happened.
They either had to keep that dog locked up away
from any strangers or any people at all, or usually
(04:13):
a practice would be unfortunately, sadly, because I love dogs,
obviously you love them, is that the dog would have
to be put down. And you described a dog that
you had to put down and that you had shot
the dog. And there's been no reaction to Joe Biden's
dog biting twenty four Secret Service agents. And all people
(04:33):
want to talk about is you admitting this in your book.
And I'm like, okay, is that a little bit of
a double standard. No, that's a huge double standard.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, No, it definitely is. I mean, how many people
does commander have to attack and hurt and harm and
injure before some responsibility is taken and something is done.
And those Secret Service agents, I'm sure wonder who's going
to be next. And for me, this is a twenty
year old story, and it was it was a hard,
hard decision because I was choosing between and it was
(05:06):
an adult working dog that was extremely dangerous, It was
killing livestock, it was attacking people, and I had to
choose between the safety of my children. I had little
kiddos there at the time, and every day at our business,
our hunting lodge, we had people in and out, and
my brothers and sisters all we had a dozen little
kids running around every day. And this was a dangerous situation,
very tough situation. So I hope that people, you know,
(05:29):
understand that that's that's why it's in the book. You know,
my political opponents have in South Dakota have known this
story for years and tried to use it against me,
and I'm not what I want them to learn. And
what I say at the end of that story is
that I want them to know that I don't run
from the truth, and I don't try to hide from
making tough decisions. I take on my own personal responsibilities,
(05:54):
and that's what I think is good.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
What I hear you're saying there is you didn't take
any joy in having to do this, but something had
to be done.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Am I hearing you right?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It was my responsibility to deal with and I didn't
ask anybody else to do my job, even though it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was Joe Biden's responsibility. After one or two Secret Service
agents were bitten to make sure it never happened again.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And that didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And you know all these people, you know, on their
high horse with their sanctimony out there, you know, attacking
you and lecturing you. Why won't they ask the president
that question? How did how did you allow twenty four
Secret Service agents to be bitten before? Oh, maybe I
have to move them to another place.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And then the issue came up in the book about
Kim Jong gun, whether you met him or you didn't
meet with him, and I watched I was trying to
watch an interview. And this is why nobody watches these
Sunday programs because they were unwatchable, and it just was
I don't think you were able to get an answer
out for more than a little over twenty seconds before
(06:58):
you interrupted again and again and again on the issue
of Kim Jong gun.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And I want you to explain it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
No, that was Margaret, and she she interrupted me thirty
six times during that interview, over and over and over again.
And I reminded her.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That, well, how could anybody watch that. I'm sorry, go ahead,
I'm doing what she did. Go ahead to finish your answer.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, it's it's it's I. It was well for her.
It was such a double standard too, because she doesn't
treat anybody else that way she does. The last dozen
interviews i'd watched that she'd done, she let everybody speak
and answer the questions, and she didn't let me. She
didn't give me that privilege. And I asked her why
she was treating me differently. But the fact of the
matter is is that I have traveled the world. I've
worked on policy for over thirty years. I've met with
(07:39):
many world leaders somewhere in the book, some are not
in the book, And when this was brought to my attention,
we removed the content of the name. So that's that's
I'm just not going to speak about my meetings with
world leaders and I'm not going to hear and you know,
we've we've talked, addressed the content of it. So that's
what I wanted to say to her, but was not
(08:00):
letting me talk and kept asking me over and over again.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So let me ask you this. You know, one thing
I've been very blessed in my life. I grew up
in Long Island, New York. But one of the experiences
is I traveled the Country and lived five years in
Rhode Island after being raised in Long Island, five years
in California, two years in Alabama, four years in Georgia,
and then when Fox went on the air in nineteen
ninety six, Boom, I was home, and I at least
(08:26):
thought it was home. It's not my home anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But I learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I learned how that different parts of the country just
have they're just different. For example, I had never heard
of a switch. I know it's a little funny to
some people. You know my father, you know, if I
did something wrong, he ripped out the belt and I
would tell you and argue that I didn't wasn't traumatized
by it. And I deserved every single time that I
got it. And in the South they use a switch
(08:54):
one quick example. And the benefit of learning that there
are different ways of life looking at things and how
you do things in life based on where you grow
up in the country has been a real educational experience
for me, and hence that brings me to South Dakota.
I see South Dakota and the people there. They're rugged individualists,
(09:14):
they're hard working, their salt of the earth, their God family.
Country kind of people my kind of people, and I
certainly share more South Dakota values than I do New
York values, which I share none. That's why I left.
And I think a lot of people need that perspective
sometimes and they don't have it well.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And I've had people reach out to me from all
across the country. I think it's important that people know that,
especially in the situation that every single state has a
law in place that allows for an animal that's dangerous
like this to be handled this way, and the American
Veterinarian Association says this is a humane way to take
responsibility for a animal. So I think that, yes, this
(09:55):
is a lot of political attacks, it's a lot of
people being critical, but you know, this whole book is
filled with, you know, conversations and stories of what my
life has been like, growing up, my experiences. But I
hope what people get out of the book is that
we live in a country right now that is addicted
(10:15):
to being offended. We just love to be offended by
each other, and we quit talking to each other and
instead everybody's yelling. And my background, I've learned that the
more diverse we you know, perspective, background, experiences, culture, that
you have sitting at a table, the better policy you're
going to have, the better debate and discussion you're going
to have, you're going to end up having a better
(10:37):
result for every family that lives in this country. And
we need to learn to have civil discourse again and
start talking to people rather than just blowing them up
like we see so many times in our political discussions today.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
All right, quick break more with Governor Christy Noomes, South Dakota.
Her new book is out, No Going Back to Truth
of What's Wrong with Politics and how We Move America Forward.
It's on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com bookstores all
across the country. I would continue with South Dakota Governor
Christy Nomans with us. The new book is out. It's
on Amazon dot Comhanity dot com bookstores around the country.
(11:10):
It's called No Going Back the Truth on What's Wrong
with Politics and how We Move America Forward. It's interesting
because the title No Going Back, I mean you're really
taking on the establishment wing of the Republican Party and
you're talking about establishment Republicans or the met romneys of
the world, and that way is not the way to
(11:32):
move forward. Now, there are certain conservative principles that I
would argue are timeless. Taxes being cut, regulations being cut.
America first, to me, has got to always be our policy.
Peace through strength. That will always be your principle, A
timeless principle. I see now that America has abandoned a
(11:54):
lot of those policies and principles, and frankly, the radicals
have taken over the government. Nobody he's benefiting from it.
Look at the border, look at the economy, look at
the state of affairs in the world. I can't think
of anything that's going right under Joe Biden and the
radical Democrats that are in power right now.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, that's exactly right. And what happened is the last
couple of years, I've heard so many people say they
wished they could go back to those days of you know,
the Romney's bushes or whatever, before before Donald Trump came
onto the scene, before Donald Trump came onto the political scene,
and they say, you know, I wish we could go
back to that. And really, this book is a message
(12:32):
that we're not going back. There's no going back. Donald
Trump broke politics, and I think that's a good thing.
I think we have now the ability for elected officials
to be honest, to say what they think, to embrace
who they are. You know, Donald Trump doesn't try to
pretend to be anything that he's not. He's just himself
and it resonates with the American people. They appreciate his
(12:55):
honesty and his candor and his genuine approach to communication.
And that should be a lesson to every single person
to run for office, is that you don't have to
be perfect. You can have flaws and make mistakes, but
the American people want to know that you care and
that you're going to fight for them, and that you
should be who you are rather than be pretending to
be something else that you know, politicians used to think
(13:17):
the American people wanted to see in their elected officials.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You know, I used to care what people would writer
say about me. I can tell you, and just one
hundred percent being totally honest, I don't care at all anymore.
You know, I care about my audience, I care about
my family. I care about being the person that God
wants me to be. In short of that, I don't
really give a flying rip about what everybody else is
thinking about me. Or if I show up at a
(13:41):
restaurant and I can see discussed on somebody's face that
I dare to read the same are that they're breathing.
I had Governor DeSantis on you know, I moved to
Florida and you know the issue of what's happening with
schools is not happening in this state because he's not
going to tolerate You're not going to tolerate it either.
(14:02):
That's the kind of person that I like in office.
People that will take a tough stand and take all
the heat that goes along with it and frankly not
bad an eyelash.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Yeah, when these college protests started to pop up a
week or so ago, a couple of weeks ago, I
had a phone call with my border regents and my
university presidents and I said, I just want you to
understand that that's not going to happen in South Dakota.
We are not putting up with that.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, what was their reactions?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
They were? I said, run me through your emergency operations plan.
I want to hear what you're going to do if
there is a planned protest, and I want you to
know that I'm going to be available, that my law
enforcement will be there if we need an emergency Operations Center,
we will do that. The National Guard will be ready
and activated, and that as soon as somebody throws one
thing or says one thing that is violent and is
(14:47):
not a peaceful protest and says something that is hateful
like we see going on that's causing a lot of
these universities to cancel their graduations. It's just not going
to happen in South Dakota. So I appreciated that candid
conversation with those university presidents and they they I think
they appreciated it too, to know that this would be
a partnership and that we weren't going to let it
(15:07):
happen in South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You know, I'm proud of my daughter. She graduated from
college recently. I'm not going to give the college away.
I just don't talk about my family that much. But
she called me days before the graduation and said, you know, Dad,
they don't They're not going to let us walk. They're
not going to let us do this. Why am I bothering?
And I said, I said, I'll support whatever decision you want.
And she decided not to go, and she's she was
(15:32):
a great student and she's a great kid. And I
was very proud of her making that decision on her
own and I said, whatever you want, I'll support. And
I thought it was an adult decision and it was.
It ended up being more right than we ever knew
and I and I think that's what individualism is all about.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Anyway, I did enjoy the book.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It's called No Going Back, The Truth of What's Wrong
with Politics, How We Move America Forward on Amazon dot
comhanity bookstores around the country. And probably the mob and
the media think that they were hurting you. I would
imagine your pull numbers in South Dakota will go up
and that the people of South Dakota are not going
to be swayed by a bunch of New York and
(16:13):
DC liberal media mob participants about what they say about you.
That's my guests, But we appreciate your time, Governor as always.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, I appreciate it too, Sean, thanks so much, and
you have a wonderful day. Thanks for having me on.
And I do hope people go out and buy their
copy of the book and read it for themselves and
make their own judgments. I'd appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No going appreciate it, Governor Christin No. Eight hundred ninety
four one Shawn is our number. If you want to
be a part of the program, We'll hit the phones.
We have a lot more news. We still have to
get to twenty five to the top of the hour
toll free. Our numbers eight hundred and nine four one
Shawn if you want to be a part of the program. Well,
ever since October the seventh, Israel has been living and
the Israelis have been living under harsh conditions and the
(16:54):
harsh reality of terror. Every single day, many of our
friends in Israel are displaced. The need for people on
the ground for food and medicine and supplies is beyond
anything I can even explain to you. Our partners and
friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're
on the ground. They have been from day one. They're
(17:16):
addressing all of these urgent needs, and there are many
they can't keep up. They're also packing emergency bomb shelter
kits that can be delivered immediately because of a missiles fired,
they have about thirteen seconds to get to safety, so
they're trying to put them in strategic places all around
the country. Anyway, your life saving donation is helping assemble
(17:37):
and place these kits with enough food and life saving
emergency supplies for the twenty people that can fit, and
every bomb shelter mobile bomb shelter that they're putting around
the country. The cost to put together and distribute these
kits is two hundred and ninety bucks each. Thanks to
a matching challenge gift by the way, from a very
generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will double in its impact
(18:02):
and provide twice the support. If you can do it
today is a toll free number they now have. It's
eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight eight eight
triple eight four eight eight IFCJ, or just give online
at SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That support IFCJ dot org and
(18:22):
thank you for your generosity. I've been making this case
for a long time. Any Democratic moderate that ever existed,
that party is gone. You know, when the Democratic Party
basically tried to push out the former vice presidential candidate
Joe Lieberman out of Connecticut, he had to run as
(18:44):
an independent and he did win a Seatback to me,
that was like the canary in the coal mine. I
knew Joe Lieberman, he recently passed away. Loved him, loved
his wife, Adasa, wonderful family, great people. We had a
fun relationship. We agree on a lot of issues involving
national security. We disagreed on a lot of social issues.
But he's somebody you can have a conversation with about
(19:07):
anything and ask him any question and you can disagree
without it being just vicious and nasty, like pretty much
everything else is today. And but it's become the Party
of the squad. If you think that Mansion was a
more moderate Democrat, he's leaving. If you think that Kristen
Cinema was a more moderate Democrat, he's leaving. You know,
(19:28):
the radicals now run Washington. They run and control Joe Biden,
you know, and as evidenced by listen to Michael Moore.
You know, I guess they've dragged him out of mothballs
thinking that somebody actually cares what he thinks, because I
don't think many people do, you know, you know, supporting
campus protesters taking over buildings. Oh that's not violence, really,
(19:50):
it's not.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Listen, you do have the right to take over the
administration building. I'll tell you, just speaking from Flint, we
would have no UAW, no autoworkers union. And if back
in the thirties, the autoworkers, including my uncle, had not
taken over the factories. They broke windows, they locked all
the doors, They kept all the police in the National
(20:13):
Guard out for forty four straight days in the middle
of winter until they won the right to be recognized
by general motors and to be paid a living wage.
That only happened because they took over the factories. Yes,
you have to take over buildings. That is not violence.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh because on January sixth, when people went into the
Capitol that was taking over a building. According to Democrats,
that's not violence. Michael Moore says it pretty unbelievable. But
these are the times that we live in and the conditions.
The double standard just you know, never stops. Then I
(20:52):
got a kick out of this. Maxim Waters was on
MSDNZ claiming that Trump has connected organization. Trump could organizations
have training camps, training camps up in the hills preparing
to attack if he loses.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Listen, I want to know about all of those right
wing organizations that he's connected with who are training up
in the hills somewhere and targeting you know what communities
they are going to attack.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, coming from the same person, you know, get in
their faces and follow them into.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
The grocery store and blah blah blah. On top of
all the other crazy stuff, she said over the ears.
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth.
Do see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in
a department store, at.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
A castoline station. You get out and you create a crowd.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And you just back on them and you tell them, then,
oh good, the people are going to turn on them.
They're going to protest, They're going to absolutely harass them
until they decide that they are going to tell the President, no,
I can't hang with you. I did not threaten his
constituents to support us.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I do that all the time, but I didn't do
it at that time.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
This is a bunch of scumbags, that's what they ought.
And with this kind of inspiration, I will go and
take Trump out to night.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
He just can't make this stuff up. Wow, what a
double standard? Just like okay, they want to focus on
January sixth. Why did they ignore the five hundred and
seventy four riots in the summer of twenty twenty. Why
is Joe so quiet as it relates to those people
taking over buildings on college campuses today. There's no sense
of urgency because he can't win for losing, because he
(22:42):
knows he's losing everybody's support, and he doesn't know whether
to go left or right or what position to take.
How about he just do the morally right thing and
support Israel's right to win their war against terrorists that
attacked them. Nobody bothered us and told us how to
fight our war against radical terror for US after nine
to eleven, pretty unreal. All right, let's get to our
(23:04):
busy telephones here. Let's say hi to Tim and Louisiana. Tim, Hi, sir,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Sir?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
How's it going good?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (23:13):
So, I just wanted to mention I serve in the military.
I've served for nine years. I remember distinctly what I
signed up for, the reasons why I signed up for.
I have a military family from keeping the tradition. I
remember watching nine to eleven on a TV when I
was younger, and I speak for some of some people
in the military that I know personally, not for the
(23:33):
military itself, but we're a little dis disheartened with the protest.
We fight for things like free speech, the right to
bear arms, and for peaceful protest. And this is not
what we're seeing. I know several people I've talked to
who've even mentioned, Hey, I don't know if I want
to continue my service. I'm just confused on what I'm
(23:54):
fighting for, and I'm confused on the state of the country.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Listen, you and a bunch of other people. I mean,
there's a lot of people that really, you know, are
concerned about the state of the country. But I do
have good news, and I've been saying all day. You know,
I want to deputize all of you. You know, if
you care about the future of the country, if you're
alarmed by by Joe Biden's weakness on the world stage,
abdicating his role as the leader of the free world,
(24:22):
if you're but I will tell you in one hundred
and eighty two days, you know. And by the way,
it's less than that, because you've got a factor in

We've spent a lot of time putting that together. Anyway,
I appreciate the call, Tim, Thank you. Let's go to
Marty in Kansas. Marty, Hi, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Sean?
Speaker 9 (25:15):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm good, sir. How are you?
Speaker 9 (25:18):
It's a pleasure to.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Talk to you. I listened to you all the time.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
I love your show.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'm telling you about bill that Congress pass last week,
sixty hr sixty ninety anti simitism bill.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
I know what's going on at these.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
College campuses and all the protests, and that's all wrong.
And I'm one hundred percent behind Israel. I'm a born
again Christian and I believe that's the Holy Land, and
the Bible is very clear about Israel, and I stand
one hundred percent with Israel. But my concern is.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
The wrong people could take this and say that the
Bible is hate speech. They because whenever Jesus was crucified,
you know, some of the Jews did holler, you know,
crucified Jesus and release barrabus, and that could be considered
hate speech. If churches are preaching against homosexuality.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
That could be considered hate speech, and they could close
churches down and arrest preachers and actually tried to ban
the Bible because they could say it's hate speech. And
that's my concern and so but anyway, I don't know
how you feel about that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But look, I mean, people, can you know I find
this amazing, Like you have these woke triggered you know,
little princes and princesses all over these college campuses.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You know, they get triggered by.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The wrong pronoun And well, we don't really we're not
in any condition to take our final exams Columbia Law students.
We really need to be we really need to just
all be given passing grades. This has been too traumatic
for us. I'm like, okay, really, am I supposed to
buy that? We're really supposed to believe that for a second.
But that's what they would have you believe. It's insane. Anyway,
(27:16):
I'll give you the last word.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Well, I I just support the Bible one hundred percent,
and I believe we're living into last day, and I
believe they're going to come after our Bibles. And please
pray for Kansas and Oklahoma because we're in for some
bad storms. Tornadoes and hell as big as softballs are
coming our way, is what they're predicting. So please keep
candas and I'll come in your prayers.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I totally completely agree with you, and you know I'll
keep you in your prayers, and I don't want anyone hurt.
Please take into consideration what the authorities are telling you
and the experts are telling you, and be prepared. That's
the best way, you know. I know a lot of
people and a lot of these states. Have you know
tornado shelters? I mean, Tornado Alley is real. I've never
(28:04):
seen a tornado. I did have one earthquake I lived through,
but that's about it, and it wasn't that bad. I'm
kind of scary to us that my mother nature can
put reality right in front of your face pretty quick.
I'll tell you that. Yeah, any all right, thank you,
my friend, appreciate it. Quick break right back more of
your calls coming up eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn,
(28:24):
if you want to be a part of the program,
back to our busy phones. Let us say hello to
Sean and Florida, the Free State of Florida. What's up,
my friend?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
How are you.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Hey, Shawn? I sure appreciate your time and the work
that you do. This is an extraordinary honor for me
to speak to you today. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well, the honor is all mine. Glad you called. Glad
you're out there, my friend.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
Yes, sir, I don't want to take a lot of time.
I was listening to the show on Friday with a
guest host, and I was a little distracted, but I
heard kind of a phrase that caught my attention a
little bit, and he said something to the effect of
not a quote, but he said something to the effect of,
we need to pass better oversight for aid that's going
(29:08):
to Ukraine, because basically it's a free for all and
there is no oversight for aid going to Ukraine. And
it triggered the thought in my mind. I'm a US
Navy veteran served on the last diesel electric submarine in
the US fleet fighting against the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia,
(29:29):
was four deployed for five years and then got out
of the military. And I'm an ordained minister now, been
in ministry for over thirty years. But my family and
I started working in Ukraine twenty three years ago. So
we've been serving there, helping children at risk and traumatized
kids there for a little over twenty three years. And
(29:49):
so when somebody says something like that, it triggered the thought,
why historically have we always supported those nations that broke
away from the decrepit Soviet Union and supported Israel of course,
and then suddenly, for some reason, those same people that
supported Ukraine Budapest Memorandum, their independence, their sovereign territory, their sovereignty,
(30:15):
their integrity, territorial integrity, and all of these were positive. Forgey.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Everything you're saying is predicated on one little part. That's
not true. That America did offer them a ton of help,
you know, over one hundred billion dollars and in this
latest ad aid package, you know, the bulk of.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Moneys were going to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Now, I think Putin is a thug and a murder,
murder and a dictator. However, I've been extraordinarily disappointed with Europe.
As per usual, they want to put the financial burden
on the American people, and I think that, you know,
aid money is something we need to reconfigure. We can't
afford aid money in the hundreds of billions of dollars
(30:58):
like this and survive economically. But I'm okay with the
idea of lending countries' money when they find themselves in
a time of war. But first, Europe, it's their continent.
They need to step up and defend their continent. Secondly,
we can't have a president dictating the president's as Zolensky
had to fight a war, like when he vetoed Poland,
(31:19):
giving you know, twenty.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Eight fighter jets to to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I mean, if you're not going to fight to win
the war, why are we spending one penny? And lastly,
I will say that I have applaud the people of Ukraine.
They have fought valiantly and I think they have far
surpassed people's expectations. I feel for them. I admire their
courage and their their steadfastness. It's a it's a very
(31:47):
difficult uphill battle. I think the world's been shocked by
how weak Vladimir Putin has shown himself to be in
some ways.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
But I will tell you this, this.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Needs to be the continent of Europe doing the majority
of help and support. We've only given a fraction of
the money we've given Ukraine to Israel, and again I
would do it in the form of a loan, not
in the form of monies that are not going to
be repaid.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I hope that answers your question, and thank you for
the good work that you do. Anyway, eight hundred and
nine point one SEAWAN is a number if you want
to be a part of the program.
