Speaker 1: All right, News round Up and Information Overload hour. Here's
Speaker 1: our toll free telephone number if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program as eight hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: four to one Sean if you want to join us.
Speaker 1: God bless Ken Griffin. And I was talking about Ken
Speaker 1: Griffin yesterday. I don't know him. I never met him.
Speaker 1: He's a multi multi billionaire who, by the way, with
Speaker 1: that money creates you know, thousands and thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands of high paying career jobs for a lot
Speaker 1: of people, which then you know, causes people to buy
Speaker 1: homes and buy food and luxury items whatever it is
Speaker 1: that people do with their money. And he's just a
Speaker 1: successful business guy. And he's moved his entire company, Citadel
Speaker 1: Financial Firm, down to Wall Street South, which is in
Speaker 1: my free state of Florida, like so many other people.
Speaker 1: And you got more and more of these very wealthy people, like,
Speaker 1: for example, two of the co founders of Google, one
Speaker 1: of them Larry Page, have now moved to Florida. Mark
Speaker 1: Zucker Meta, He's now moved to Florida. Larry Ellison, who
Speaker 1: runs Oracle, He's now moved to Florida. And here's the
Speaker 1: fascinating thing for Zorn Marxist Kami Mumdani to do this
Speaker 1: ad bragging about how he's going to tax the rich.
Speaker 1: Does it in front of where Ken Griffin lives. Now,
Speaker 1: Remember the United Healthcare CEO was assassinated in cold blood.
Speaker 1: We live in an assassination culture. Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Speaker 1: There's been three separate would be assassins and in one
Speaker 1: case came within one millimeter of killing Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1: This is the culture we're living in. And you're never
Speaker 1: gonna convince me that the dehumanizing and insightful rhetoric of
Speaker 1: the left, you know, is not inspiring these crazy people
Speaker 1: that here at day in and day out, Nazi, fascist, racist,
Speaker 1: Gstapo whatever else that they're saying. Now, if you remember
Speaker 1: the original ad, let me play it for you. This
Speaker 1: is mum Donnie with his stupid smile before the cameras,
Speaker 1: bragging about raising taxes on people like Ken Griffin. Uh,
Speaker 1: what I guess he wasn't factoring in is Ken Griffin
Speaker 1: had planned on spending six billion, yes billion with a
Speaker 1: B on building out office space and jobs in New
Speaker 1: York City. And I'll tell you why he's not doing
Speaker 1: it on the other side. But this is what mum
Speaker 1: Donnie did to docs Ken Griffin.
Speaker 2: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going
Speaker 2: to tax the rich. Well, today we're taxing Willon. I'm
Speaker 2: thrilled to announce who secured a pew to tear tax,
Speaker 2: the first in New York's history. This is an annual
Speaker 2: fee on luxury property is worth more than five million
Speaker 2: dollars whose owners do not live full time in the city,
Speaker 2: like for this penthouse, which Hedge One CEO Ken Griffin
Speaker 2: bought for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. This
Speaker 2: Pewter tear tax is specifically designed for the richest of
Speaker 2: the rich, those to store their wealth in New York
Speaker 2: City real estate, but who don't actually live for it.
Speaker 1: Now again, I don't know Ken Griffin. I don't, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves to be single. That
Speaker 1: why because he's successful. You know, I've said this many
Speaker 1: times on this part. I never got a job in
Speaker 1: my life from a poor person. I got jobs from
Speaker 1: restaurant owners and from construction companies that had money to
Speaker 1: invest and pay me. And I like the people that
Speaker 1: pay me. I'm as grateful when i've ever since I
Speaker 1: started working when I was eight years old. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: now this is all backfired on Kami Mumdani and you know,
Speaker 1: so he's now on defense and I don't blame Ken
Speaker 1: Griffin one bit. He was asked about this incident, he
Speaker 1: talked about how he listened to it three times and
Speaker 1: he feels his personal safety is at risk. So where
Speaker 1: does that leave us at three point fifty?
Speaker 3: Part that leaves us with the fact that we went
Speaker 3: to Miami and revised our building plan to make it
Speaker 3: a bigger office building. You're bailing, So what do we
Speaker 3: do with three fifties is still a point of discussion internally.
Speaker 3: But what is no longer a point of discussion is that.
Speaker 1: Miami is now.
Speaker 3: You know, when we moved from Chicago, there was a
Speaker 3: debate between New York and Miami. It's unquestionably true that
Speaker 3: we made the right choice. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3: It's unquestionably true that we made.
Speaker 4: The right choice.
Speaker 3: And now and now, what the Mayor of New York
Speaker 3: has made clear to my partners, and principally my New
Speaker 3: York partners, my New York partners, is that we need
Speaker 3: to double down on our bet in Miami because we
Speaker 3: want to be in a state that embraces that embraces business,
Speaker 3: that embraces education, that embraces personal freedom and liberty, and
Speaker 3: that embraces people having an opportunity to live the American dream.
Speaker 1: Then he dropped the hammer. I'm now moving my money
Speaker 1: to Wall Street South of Miami. Remember, I keep telling you,
Speaker 1: Wall Street South is very, very real. Every big bank,
Speaker 1: every private equity firm, every investment firm, they now have
Speaker 1: more employees in my free state of Florida. All the
Speaker 1: way from Miami, all the way up to West Palm Beach.
Speaker 1: All of these financial firms have relocated. They have more
Speaker 1: employees in the Free State of Florida than they do
Speaker 1: in New York on Wall Street, although many have kept
Speaker 1: the presence up there. But that apparently is going to
Speaker 1: go away next as well. Anyway, she I think is
Speaker 1: still You're not still stuck in New York, are you?
Speaker 1: Because you can work from anywhere. Miranda Divine is with us.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm well, thank you.
Speaker 5: Well, Look, I know that New York is getting harder
Speaker 5: to live in, but I must say I went to
Speaker 5: see a play the other night called Masquerade, which reminded
Speaker 5: me why I love.
Speaker 4: New York so much. Was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: And you know, you're paying an awful lot of money
Speaker 1: on top of the three hundred dollars you probably spent
Speaker 1: for the ticket to that great play you went to
Speaker 1: just for the privilege of going to see a play.
Speaker 4: Well, tell me about it. I know it's a huge
Speaker 4: impulse to live in this city, but I do work
Speaker 4: at the New York Post, so I don't really think
Speaker 4: that I could do it from Florida for very long.
Speaker 4: Maybe for a few months a year, but.
Speaker 1: Oh I could show you how to do it, you'd
Speaker 1: be able to do just fine.
Speaker 4: Well, they make it very hard for you to live
Speaker 4: here because, especially when you've got pot shops opening up everywhere.
Speaker 4: That's the only industry that's doing really well is those
Speaker 4: weed shots that Eric Adams, to his credit, was closing
Speaker 4: down because they're some sort of shady operations, most of them.
Speaker 4: There's no way there are so many of these weed
Speaker 4: shops thriving. There's never anyone in them.
Speaker 5: I don't know what.
Speaker 4: They're fronts for, but they're shady operations and now they're
Speaker 4: booming under them. Dared, that's the only thing booming. Everything
Speaker 4: else is in the toilet, and Kathy Hochel is in
Speaker 4: bed with him. She's just donated another two billion plus
Speaker 4: to the city to help out Ma'm Danny, and to
Speaker 4: help him do more taxes, this Pierre Tear tax, which
Speaker 4: is the first of I'm sure many, and you know
Speaker 4: they pretend that it's taxing the rich. No, the rich
Speaker 4: have ways of not paying it. They will move like
Speaker 4: Ken Griffin, and they'll take their jobs and all the
Speaker 4: money that they put into this city with them. They'll
Speaker 4: take it to Florida or Tennessee or Texas. And then
Speaker 4: it's us for bunnies who are not wealthy, high income
Speaker 4: earners who will be footing the bill, the middle classes.
Speaker 1: I continue, Miranda, divine New York Posters with us. Your
Speaker 1: calls also coming up eight hundred and ninety four one Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see the New York Posts move out
Speaker 1: of New York leave or not and still called the
Speaker 1: New York Post. I still think you're gonna have some
Speaker 1: reporters on the ground there. I mean, things have just
Speaker 1: gotten so bad and have deteriorated so bad. Rondo Santis
Speaker 1: the governor of my state was on TV with me
Speaker 1: last night. And there are twenty three million people in
Speaker 1: the free state of Florida. There are less than nine
Speaker 1: million in New York City. Now, and New York City's
Speaker 1: budget is billions more than the entire state of Florida.
Speaker 1: You have better law and order and safety and security,
Speaker 1: you have far better infrastructure. You get way more for
Speaker 1: your money down here. You don't have high taxes the
Speaker 1: way you do on everything in New York. All of
Speaker 1: that money is being spent on social welfare programming. And
Speaker 1: now Mamdani, now we have a forty percent federal death tax,
Speaker 1: a ten percent New York state death tax. You have
Speaker 1: not me uh. And now Mamdani wants a fifty percent
Speaker 1: New York City death tax. And he wants the lower
Speaker 1: the threshold from seven point five million dollars, which is
Speaker 1: not a lot of money in New York. It sounds
Speaker 1: like a lot, but it's not that much in New
Speaker 1: York to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You can't
Speaker 1: buy a closet to live in for seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in New York. I know that sounds nuts,
Speaker 1: but it's true.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is true. And I mean, I guess we're
Speaker 4: all flabbergasted that Mamdani is persisting with his insane policies
Speaker 4: which don't work and which he can't fund the budgets
Speaker 4: in a hole. But he's an ideologue and he's a
Speaker 4: NEPO baby who doesn't have a real grasp on reality,
Speaker 4: the cost of living, law and order. He doesn't care.
Speaker 4: He's got a security detail provided by the NYPD, the
Speaker 4: very same police force that he's defunding. He's not doing
Speaker 4: what's necessary to keep just the basic minimum, the five
Speaker 4: extra cops that Eric Adams had promised and that we need.
Speaker 4: And you know, the NYPD is punches above its weight nationally,
Speaker 4: even if you don't care about New York. The NYPD's
Speaker 4: counter terrorism unit is world class, and they were instrumental
Speaker 4: in foiling three of the four terror attacks that the
Speaker 4: FBI says that it foiled. Those tip offs came from
Speaker 4: the NYPD. If that counter terrorism unit, which was set
Speaker 4: up by Paul Morrow from Fox News, if that gets eroded,
Speaker 4: then all Americans are at risk. So I just think
Speaker 4: it's a very dangerous time in New York. But help
Speaker 4: is on the way. In the form of Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 4: He is not getting a lot of coverage, unfortunately, but
Speaker 4: Kathy Hochel's favorability is declining precipitously. Her job approval is
Speaker 4: down at record lows. She's uh, you know already even
Speaker 4: before the election, she is promising taxikes. God knows what
Speaker 4: she will do after the election.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, I mean, he desperately. She's scared
Speaker 1: to death. Like Schumer's scared to death of Mumdanni, He's
Speaker 1: scared to death of aoc Kathy Hochel needs Mumdanni's support
Speaker 1: to get re elected. I like you. I love Bruce Blakeman.
Speaker 1: He's done a great job in Nassau County. Did you
Speaker 1: see the new ad that he put out. If you haven't,
Speaker 1: let me play it for our audience.
Speaker 6: Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida
Speaker 6: where you've long.
Speaker 2: Okay, don you've got to let me know. Shoot, I
Speaker 2: still shout, I go. If you say.
Speaker 4: That, you Amma, I'll be here til the end of time.
Speaker 7: So mis.
Speaker 2: Co steps. Would we go down to Plant Beach where
Speaker 2: see we can bring back.
Speaker 1: Home because our tax base has better road in It's
Speaker 1: they're not bringing me home. I'm not leaving Florida. And
Speaker 1: remember Croomwoll famously said, if you're pro Laise and pro
Speaker 1: sort weapon, you're not a New Yorker and there's no
Speaker 1: place in the state in New York for you. I mean,
Speaker 1: so they begged me to go. Now watch now she
Speaker 1: wants me to come back because she wants my money.
Speaker 4: Well, you are exactly typical of you know, born and bred,
Speaker 4: died in the wool New Yorkers who've been driven out
Speaker 4: basically because this state, this city is just on a
Speaker 4: suicide mission. And I think the Democratic Party is on
Speaker 4: a suicide mission because Kathy Hokel and Chuck Humer, supposedly
Speaker 4: moderate Democrats, Joe Biden, we were sold as a moderate
Speaker 4: Democrat who would bring back normality. And what do they do.
Speaker 4: They have bent over to the left, which is hijacked
Speaker 4: to their party, which is a minority of Democrats. But
Speaker 4: they have enormous power in that party. And you can
Speaker 4: see even you just look at the California debate for
Speaker 4: the gubernatorial campaign. They're all just like in twenty nineteen
Speaker 4: presidential debate, putting their hands up and saying yay to
Speaker 4: free healthcare for illegal aliens. That's what we're paying for.
Speaker 4: It's not even welfare for American citizens. It's welfare for
Speaker 4: foreign fraudsters who know that they can come to country,
Speaker 4: come to this city, to sanctuary cities like New York,
Speaker 4: and make lots of money, get rich, drive around in
Speaker 4: porsches by ripping off taxpayers, law abiding taxpayers. It's so corrosive.
Speaker 4: And the Democratic Party is not what it used to be.
Speaker 4: And the cowards. I just you know, I despise people
Speaker 4: like Shuma, and I despise Pelosi and Katty Hokel and
Speaker 4: those old school Democrats who allowed this to happen to
Speaker 4: their party and allowed their voters who trusted.
Speaker 1: Them to All they care about is big power. Let
Speaker 1: me just give you one last warning. The next thing
Speaker 1: to come in New York is a wealth tax. Then
Speaker 1: when you want to get out, Miranda, if you don't
Speaker 1: get out soon enough, then they're going to have an
Speaker 1: exit tax. Mark my words. And I didn't even get
Speaker 1: to mom Donnie defending the anti Semitic rioters who formed
Speaker 1: a New York City synagogue. But we'll do that another time.
Speaker 1: Miranda Devine love your work at the New York Post.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you more than you know. Thank you terrific, Thanks
Speaker 1: so much. Eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn, if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program driving
Speaker 1: liberals crazy three hours a day, every day, The Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show is back on the air. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to our busy phones. Mike is in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: New Orleans. How are you, sir? Glad you called?
Speaker 8: Hey, Sean, Nice to talk with you.
Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you. What's going on?
Speaker 8: I've had, I've had been truly pleasant in life. I
Speaker 8: originally started with Paul Harvey, then Rush, and then of
Speaker 8: course you. So it has been a true pleasure anyway, and.
Speaker 1: Now the rest of the story. He was Paul Harvey
Speaker 1: was great, bruh y attent to the golden EIB microphone.
Speaker 1: He actually said that the microphone dropped when I was
Speaker 1: filling in for them. Anyway, what's on your mind? Who
Speaker 1: are the greatest ever?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 8: Yesterday? You and Linda, who is a true sweetheart?
Speaker 1: Why why are you flirting with Linda? She's a married woman.
Speaker 1: Why are you calling her sweete He's not flirting, he's
Speaker 1: just stay in facts, continue, sir, please, good lord.
Speaker 8: So anyway, I was born raised in Chicago, and I
Speaker 8: met my wife after nine to eleven playing backgammon online,
Speaker 8: and she was from New Orleans. So in December fourth,
Speaker 8: I moved down to New Orleans, and in August we
Speaker 8: found a host that we were going to buy and
Speaker 8: bought some dogs, got everything set up for the wedding,
Speaker 8: and our flood insurance was going to kick in on
Speaker 8: September first.
Speaker 1: Well, as you've known beforehand, how many days beforehand?
Speaker 8: Three days? Oh, No, August twenty ninth, Katrina rips through.
Speaker 8: We get twelve feet of water from her, We got
Speaker 8: the Murphy oil spill, another six feet of water from Rita,
Speaker 8: putting the water market, the three quarter market, the headboard
Speaker 8: of the bed on the second Florida house. We get
Speaker 8: Beach Florida, and we get hit with Wilma in late October.
Speaker 1: Good grief, you're not having a lot of luck here
Speaker 1: with homes and with storms exactly. Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I mean, you know when people when this happened.
Speaker 1: I went to New Orleans after Katrina, and I was shocked,
Speaker 1: and it's very It looked like a war zone. I mean,
Speaker 1: I was riding for miles. I don't remember what the highway,
Speaker 1: what name it was, but for miles and miles and
Speaker 1: miles on end, I mean on both sides of whatever
Speaker 1: bridge or highway I was driving on, you could just
Speaker 1: see devastation and entire neighborhood just wiped out. Done. God,
Speaker 1: it looked like a war zone.
Speaker 8: Absolutely. It was the worst natural answer I've ever seen
Speaker 8: in my life.
Speaker 1: Absolutely terrible.
Speaker 8: So, my wife's family was a very close knit family,
Speaker 8: so when they grew up and became adults, they literally
Speaker 8: bought houses within blocks of each other. Okay, well, of
Speaker 8: course with Katrina.
Speaker 1: It's true, everybody's wiped out. Oh yeah, so we got
Speaker 1: did anyone? Did anyone else have insurance?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: Were you the only one without it?
Speaker 8: We were without it?
Speaker 1: You are the only the other family members had it?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, thank God for small blessing. You still
Speaker 1: don't want to live through that, but at least gives
Speaker 1: you hope to rebuild.
Speaker 8: Yes, And so now we've got people in year Sin,
Speaker 8: We've got them in northern Mississippi. We got it spread
Speaker 8: out everywhere. Well, my wife went into like a super
Speaker 8: super super super super deep depression and here I am,
Speaker 8: I just come down. I'm like, I don't know how
Speaker 8: to get this woman happy. I did everything that I
Speaker 8: possibly could, and I looked at her one day I'm like, honey,
Speaker 8: I give up. I don't know how to make it happy.
Speaker 8: Why don't we go to Disney. They claim to be
Speaker 8: the happiest place on earth. Why don't we go there
Speaker 8: for the weekend and see if Dan will help you.
Speaker 8: So we went and she had a great time, and
Speaker 8: on Monday she was pretty much back to normal. And
Speaker 8: after a period of time when she got back in
Speaker 8: that deep depression, we would go back to Disney.
Speaker 1: And wow, and it helped her every.
Speaker 8: Time, every time, every time.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know what depression is like. I don't
Speaker 1: because I'm not that way. I'm not inclined to that,
Speaker 1: but I've met many people that are, and those people
Speaker 1: that I mean, it is a real I guess you
Speaker 1: call it disease, and you know, whatever gets people out
Speaker 1: of it, I don't care what it is. You know,
Speaker 1: if it's Disney good for her?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean, of course everybody down here so
Speaker 8: it's from PTSD.
Speaker 1: Because no, I don't have anything against you know, Disney.
Speaker 1: Linda's more anti Disney than me. I'm I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that kids love it. I never loved I mean, and
Speaker 1: especially if you've been there ten years in a row,
Speaker 1: you get sick of it. Now that was just for me,
Speaker 1: but I mean, every kid wants to go to Disney.
Speaker 1: You can't deny a kid that. Although Linda's denying Liam,
Speaker 1: that just shows you. Linda denies the kid French fries,
Speaker 1: denies the kid real food, wears her air. Fried French
Speaker 1: fries are better than anything you can buy at any
Speaker 1: other store. All this cross kind of fries?
Speaker 3: Does he eat?
Speaker 1: What does he eat when his wife is depressed? Does
Speaker 1: he give her healthy food? Or does he feed her
Speaker 1: disgusting food? And she probably has a funnel cake and
Speaker 1: a turkey leg I'm sorry, are you the caller? I'm
Speaker 1: just guessing. Go ahead, sir. What do you give your wife.
Speaker 8: When she said, every time we go to Hollywood series,
Speaker 8: we can't pass up the funnel cake?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you kill ding ding ding ding ding
Speaker 1: ding ding. All right, this caller is fired. Mike, get
Speaker 1: New Orleans. You made my day. Appreciate it, my friend,
Speaker 1: God bless you. Eight hundred and nine four one Shan.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: let us say hello. To Blake and my free state
Speaker 1: of Florida. What's up, Blake? How are you glad you called?
Speaker 1: Sir Son?
Speaker 7: Thank you very much. And first I have to thank
Speaker 7: you for putting just simple people that walk the street
Speaker 7: like I do, work, work, and do what we do
Speaker 7: on the radio to share our opinions with you because
Speaker 7: it really lifts up the rest of the country. I
Speaker 7: just want to thank you for that, Thank.
Speaker 1: You for giving me those. Mike is my honor to
Speaker 1: be here every day, and I'm very grateful.
Speaker 7: You are a true warrior. My message today is one
Speaker 7: of clarity of talking about the threat our country is
Speaker 7: facing and mankind is facing. We are dealing with a
Speaker 7: warrior like culture which has only one purpose in mind.
Speaker 7: We have to take a look and be accurate in
Speaker 7: terms of explaining that culture that it has a completely
Speaker 7: different understanding of truth, as a completely different understanding of
Speaker 7: what's right and wrong, and they're what somebody is willing
Speaker 7: to do to accomplish their goals. And when we do that,
Speaker 7: we understand that any kind of any kind of appeasement,
Speaker 7: any kind of negotiation with with this culture, it's only
Speaker 7: going to result in more loss for us. I just
Speaker 7: am so concerned about what's happening in terms of negotiations
Speaker 7: with Iran. We need to break their spirit the way
Speaker 7: the the access powers were spirit were broken in World
Speaker 7: War Two, the way the spirit was broken back in
Speaker 7: the Civil War. It's not a matter of being unkind
Speaker 7: to anybody. It's a matter of protecting and saving what
Speaker 7: we hold, hold, hold dear. They're the ones that attack us,
Speaker 7: they are the ones that have have carried out these
Speaker 7: hainous acts, and we just have to we have to
Speaker 7: recognize who they are, what they're willing to do, and
Speaker 7: just turn the tables on them and just just deal
Speaker 7: with it very directly and very very powerfully.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just telling you this, and understand, uh, the
Speaker 1: president is doing that. The president at any moment can
Speaker 1: wipe the place out. The President, I think has been
Speaker 1: very judicious and also thinking about he said it, Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio said it. You know, he's thinking about the people
Speaker 1: that have been victimized for forty seven years. He's trying
Speaker 1: not to wipe out an entire you know, once great civilization,
Speaker 1: the Persian culture is a great culture if you look
Speaker 1: at it historically, and and I hope and pray that
Speaker 1: they get their country back and they get freedom back
Speaker 1: in their lives and instead of living under this oppressive,
Speaker 1: you know, murdering thug theocracy. But well, look, I have
Speaker 1: faith in the President, I really do. I'm I have
Speaker 1: faith in his decision making. He knows things that none
Speaker 1: of us know, and I think that he's you know,
Speaker 1: so far, the blockade is working better than anybody thought.
Speaker 1: They're losing four or five hundred million dollars a day.
Speaker 1: You know, let's let's see all plays out. My guess
Speaker 1: is we win, they lose. That's how I think it ends.
Speaker 1: I can't say with one hundred percent certainty, but that's
Speaker 1: how I think this sends. Blake, appreciate it, buddy. God
Speaker 1: bless you. Barb in Minnesota. What's up, Barb? How are
Speaker 1: you hi?
Speaker 6: Sean? Thanks for having me on. I was listening to
Speaker 6: your banter with Linda yesterday about Disney and it brought me.
Speaker 1: Man, that's got a lot of attention. Apparently it was
Speaker 1: kind of like off the cuff.
Speaker 6: It brought back a lot of happy memories for me.
Speaker 6: I had a little boy that had leukemia and Make
Speaker 6: Wish sent us to Disney World in nineteen ninety. So
Speaker 6: that's how how long. Wow, it's been and the memory
Speaker 6: came back like nothing.
Speaker 1: And is there is there anything more hard to live
Speaker 1: with than a sick kid?
Speaker 6: Actually, it's the hardest thing that I've ever gone I've
Speaker 6: gone through a lot in my life, and it's the
Speaker 6: hardest thing I think I've ever ever gone through.
Speaker 1: More parents that lose their children. I interviewed these people.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it? Now, was this
Speaker 1: your child?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 6: Matthew was three, just turned three when he was diagnosed.
Speaker 6: He died just before a sixth birthday and life support twice,
Speaker 6: no chance to live. And that's when I gave up
Speaker 6: pope and I gave it to God to take care
Speaker 6: of and he came back again. So anyway, he had
Speaker 6: a bone marrow transplant and make a wish sent us
Speaker 6: the Disney World October eleventh to the sixteenth in nineteen
Speaker 6: ninety and he got I was feeling like thirty syringes
Speaker 6: a day of medicines for him. But he could walk.
Speaker 6: He could walk, and he had got his hair back,
Speaker 6: so it didn't really look like anything was wrong with him. Anyway,
Speaker 6: We got down there and he absolutely did not want
Speaker 6: a wheelchair. He wanted to be like everybody else and
Speaker 6: walk around and get in line. And we got through
Speaker 6: the gates and we got to the first ride, and
Speaker 6: he saw how long the lines were and how long
Speaker 6: the wait was, and he said, Mom, let's go back
Speaker 6: and get the wheelchairs, go to the front of the line.
Speaker 6: So it brought back a lot of happy memories for me.
Speaker 1: Well, he sounded like he sounded like such a great,
Speaker 1: great kid, a strong, tough, resilient, everything any parent would want,
Speaker 1: any characteristics a parent would want in their children. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry about your loss. I love I love Saint
Speaker 1: Jude's Hospital, and I loved the Make a Wish Foundation,
Speaker 1: and they're both incredible organizations. I had one experience with
Speaker 1: the Make a Wish Foundation, Linda, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember this, and there was a young kid that
Speaker 1: wanted to meet me, and I'm like, of course, but
Speaker 1: I mean, why doesn't he want to go to Disney Why?
Speaker 1: You know, I've just thought that the bar was way
Speaker 1: too low, you know, because Make a Wish would do
Speaker 1: anything that the kid wanted. And you know, we spent
Speaker 1: the day with him. I was so humbled and honored
Speaker 1: by that. And and you know, this kid was he
Speaker 1: just loved politics and we stayed in touch for a while.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's to see a sick child or for
Speaker 1: a parent to lose a child, I think is the
Speaker 1: hardest thing that people go through in life. And when
Speaker 1: I interview people, if the hardest interviews I'll ever do.
Speaker 1: Or like angel moms and people that lost children, you know,
Speaker 1: like Jocelyn Hungary, her mother's name is Alexis. We've interviewed her.
Speaker 1: Rachel Morin's mom interviewed them. I never interviewed Lake and
Speaker 1: Riley's family, but I've talked to them and they're wonderful people.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know if I could.
Speaker 1: I look on in awe and I wonder, how do
Speaker 1: you go on? How do you get how do you
Speaker 1: lift your head out of the bed the next day?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that's the hardest thing in
Speaker 1: life to live with or you know, parents that lose
Speaker 1: you know service men and women and you know the
Speaker 1: difficulty the challenges associated with that. Anyway, Barb, I'm glad
Speaker 1: that he was the person he was and that they
Speaker 1: that he had his dream come true and that he
Speaker 1: fought as hard as he did. And I am sorry,
Speaker 1: deeply sorry about your loss and our love and prayers
Speaker 1: to you. And and I'm sure he's in paradise looking
Speaker 1: down praying for all of us.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that worked out for him. He did
Speaker 1: see Linda. I think I'm gonna take you on the
Speaker 1: strip to Disney and then you can hear everyone say
Speaker 1: have a magical day. Maybe it'll change your shift your attitude,
Speaker 1: because your attitude some days.
Speaker 5: Listen her story, her story is heartbreaking, but I have
Speaker 5: to say she did go in nineteen ninety before Cinderella
Speaker 5: had a beard.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Cinderella does not have a beard. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll send you a picture. Now they do have the
Speaker 1: adult is any people that like go in before the
Speaker 1: park even opens and they dress up as characters. That's
Speaker 1: a little odd to me. And if you go there
Speaker 1: like every day a lot a little strange to me.
Speaker 1: And that's gonna wrap things up for today. Great Hannity
