WEBVTT - Fighting Addiction and Fighting for New York

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, thanks Scott shot An hour two Sean Hannity Show,

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of this program, this extravaganza, you know,

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you one of the saddest things that

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you get to see in life is addiction. I learned

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot about addiction when I was seventeen years old.

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I was working at a bar when I was twelve.

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I've told the.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Story a million times that, like I know some of

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you are saying, and don't tell it again. Linda is

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the rolling her eyes right now. I was a dishwasher

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>every Friday, Saturday, Sunday night till two am in the morning.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>At thirteen, I was a cook. Later I became a

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>bus boy waiter. Seventeen I was a bartender, and I

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>learned a lot about addiction. You know, in the case

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of alcohol addiction and alcoholism, it's so weird because every individual,

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>like your own DNA and your own fingerprint, has their number.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>What is the number?

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, for some people, if they have one drink, it's

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>too much for them. Some people can't drink, they don't

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>metabolize it. It alters their personality immediately and they it

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>just brings the absolute worst out of them. For some people,

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>they have one drink and they like acting like woo,

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like Linda.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that you Linda? Which one of you? Some people

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>that have not a grinchy drinker, that is fake news.

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 3>I do not go.

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Two or three but once for example. And this is

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm using stereotypes which I don't like to use. But

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>there is something I observed that for example, men when

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>they drink too much either get into I love you, bro,

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I love you my best friend, or they want to

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>fight somebody and they want to flirt with anybody at

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the bar, even if a woman's with her married husband.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>It's insane. Women tend to become a little more flirtatious.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>But I've seen women fighting each other too, So there

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>is some commonality there. Now we're not even talking about.

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>As bad as that is, and that's bad, there are

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>all these other addictions on top of it, and you

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>know it's and then you look at countries that are targeting.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Our youth with all of these these drugs.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>You know feanyl, You know three grains of sault can

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 1>kill a this fentanyl, but the size of three grains

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.839
<v Speaker 1>assault can kill a two hundred and fifty pounds man.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>That's insane.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, you look at opioid addiction, heroin addiction, you know,

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>then you have prescription drug addiction, which is just out

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>of control.

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>We are an over prescribed society. Period. End of sentence

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>is no other way to put it, you know.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Robert Kennedy Junior discussed the Trump administration fight to end

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>homelessness in drug addiction. He himself went through years of this.

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I had a long talk with him, a personal talk.

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't disclose the contents of it. And when you're

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>in the throes of addiction, it is almost for the

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>person impossible to get out of it.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to explain, but here's what he said.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 4>President Trump made this mission a national priority through the

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 4>Great American Recovery. His leadership has made it possible for

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 4>us to break down silos across the federal government, demand

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 4>accountability for results, and put recovery at the center of

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 4>our response to addiction and homelessness. We are directing federal

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 4>resources towards programs that deliver lasting results, not programs that

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 4>perpetuate cycles of deedtalks, relapse, and re entry into care.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>And we're already seeing progress. In fact, new provisional data

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 4>that was released today show that overdose tests have dropped

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm within twelve percent over the last twelve months. That

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>means nearly ten thousand more Americans alive today would otherwise

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 4>not be alive. Those numbers underscore what as and Trump

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 4>has made clear. When we put recovery first and demand results, we.

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Save lives all right.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Joining us now is the director of the White House

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Office of National Drug Policy, a longtime front of this program,

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 1>often referred to by the way as the Drugs Are Now.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Carter is with us, and she has done so

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>much work for this program and for Hannity the TV

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>show in terms of going down to the border dealing

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>with the illegal immigration and the drug smugglers and the cartels.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And she's seen it up close and personal. I had

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the same experience when I used to go down on

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the border twelve, fourteen, fifteen times, been in a drug warehouse,

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the you know, Florida ceiling, the biggest warehouse you've ever seen,

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>with a stench you can't take. And you know this

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is all drugs confiscated, you know, not counting all the

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>drugs that get through and the unbelievable ways that people

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>smuggle drugs into this country. We're poisoning our children and

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just terrible. Well, anyway, Sarah Carter, we miss you.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you're the drugs are. I can't think of

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a better person for this job. Tell us how it's going.

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 3>It's been going great, Sean. I'm here in San Diego.

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 3>I was with Secretary Kennedy here as well as Secretary

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Scott Turner where our office, the Office of National Drug

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Control Policy often yes referred to as the Drugs are

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 3>re released our Best Practices Toolkit. What it is is

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 3>a treatment first way of handling homelessness and drug addiction

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 3>in the United States. It's not about housing first. Secretary

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 3>Turner Secretary Kennedy have been very clear. We are done

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>with waste, fraud, and abuse, and what we want at

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.559
<v Speaker 3>on DCP, what we want is for people to live.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Every human being counts. We're not going to lock them

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>up in some motel give them housing without treatment. We

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 3>want them to have treatment first, and we want rules

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 3>that protect children as well. You know, I'm here in

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 3>San Diego and I was speaking to folks out here

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 3>and I went around this beautiful city, absolutely stunning city.

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 3>And then one area of the city you can just

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 3>see the addiction these old methods of farm reduction, where

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 3>people are in the streets and they've got needles in

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 3>their arms and they're you know, smoking cracks, they're using

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 3>mess they are shooting up Heroin with sentinel and the

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 3>horrors of seeing that and then realizing that amongst those

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 3>people that are on the streets the adults are children

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>as well. So we need to you know, this needs

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 3>to be all inclusive. We need to protect our children.

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Secretary Kennedy and I and a Secretary Turner have now

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 3>a road nap, a roadmap and guidelines that are going

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 3>to go across the United States, rescue missions across our country,

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 3>and treatment center whether they're faith based or non faith based.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 3>But we're bringing faith into the equation. We are reaching

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 3>out to our faith based communities as well and saying here,

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 3>this is a way to address homelessness and addiction through treatment. First,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 3>let's do it. I just returned from Columbia. I got

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>to tell you President Trump has been absolutely amazing his

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 3>policies and this administration. Our friendships, our connections and what

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 3>we're doing. We were in Columbia for the inauguration. I

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>was with Attorney General Blanche as well as the head

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 3>of DEA Administrator, Terry Cole, and we were there watching

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 3>this great moment a shift in geopolitically in our hemisphere

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 3>where we now have the Tiger lt Ray President de

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>La s Brea in office, and he's going to be

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 3>working very closely with us in eradicating COCA and going

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>after the cartels. I leave today for our Tina where

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 3>we will be holding the International Drug Enforcement Conference with

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 3>nations from all over the Western hem in Argentina in

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Buenos Aires to discuss the best way to go after

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 3>the cartels and after adversaries that are poisoning and targeting

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 3>our children.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 5>This is non stop.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 3>President Trump has given us a mission, and we are

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 3>working to save lives in the United States and stop

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the bad guys from bringing the bad stuff in. And

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>to know that in some cases, federal tax dollars actually

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 3>went these harms, so called harm reduction programs where you know,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 3>they're passing out you know, foil, so that they can

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 3>utilize that for their drug paraphernalia where they're allowing people

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 3>to shoot up and they give them housing, but there's

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.839
<v Speaker 3>no treatment. There's no treatment, there's no help, there's no

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's no guidance to recovery or living a

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>better life. But instead there are kept in like the

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 3>shackles of their addiction and inside these horrific you know,

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 3>motels and decrepit buildings where where these are lost and

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 3>forgotten souls and right now on the streets. You're absolutely right,

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.599
<v Speaker 3>these hot shots or we have at least at ONDCP

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 3>now with our wastewater testing and working as a whole

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 3>of government with the CDC. For the first time, because

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 3>of the testing that we are doing on wastewater, we

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 3>were able to see metatomidine, which is known as rhinoceros

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 3>tranquilizer out on the streets. I mean, think about this.

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 3>It's one hundred just three hundred times more potent than

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 3>xylazine and it was out on the streets and it

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 3>was killing our citizens. And we need to change in culture,

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 3>a change in the way we think about ourselves and

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.839
<v Speaker 3>the way we treat drug use and drug addiction. And

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 3>we need to tell our kids you are wor more

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 3>than this. You can have anything in your life, just

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 3>do not be shackled down by you know, experimentation and drugs.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 3>This isn't a right of passage. This can actually kill you.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 3>And we have enemies of our state that are out

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.719
<v Speaker 3>there and that are targeting our country and that are

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>targeting our citizens. I always call this, you know, and

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I've said it before, Sean, this is irregular warfare against us.

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.199
<v Speaker 3>When you think about the type of sense and know

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 3>the type of precursors that have been you know, just

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>basically smuggled into our country, and how they have affected

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 3>our nation, is it is very real. I think now

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 3>it's the time that we wake up and together as

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 3>a nation, we fight back on multiple levels, both inside

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 3>the United States and outside the United States. And that's

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 3>what President Trump has allowed us to do. And I mean,

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I feel grateful to be with people that are so

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 3>much that they are willing to do everything to save

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 3>lives and to save future generations of Americans. And that's

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 3>what we're doing with this treatment first approach. It doesn't

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:08.559
<v Speaker 3>mean we don't want to get people.

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Housing right quick break right back more with Sarah Carter,

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>our drugs are the director of the White House Office

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of National Drug Control Policy. On the other side, we'll

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>also get your calls in Bruce Blakeman, new York gubernatorial candidate,

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>will join us. The President is going to New York

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in Nasau County tomorrow. Anyway, there's one poll that shows

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>at a four point race. Also, what the hell happened

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>in Wisconsin? Even Frank Lunz said, you know, the polling

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that's taken place is so disgusting it should end. It

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 1>is hurting our electoral process. We'll get Scott Walker's take

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on that coming up as well as we continue in

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>your calls eight hundred and nine four.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Our final love months with nation's drugs are the director

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy,

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Carter are old friend is with us. Let me

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>ask you, though, Sarah, what about the recidivism rate? I

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>know people that have been in and out of rehab,

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten times before either they get off it

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>or die. Because that's basically that that's your choice. You

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>either give up your addiction or the odds are high

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to die from some drug related complication, overdose,

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever it happens to be.

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Sean, You're absolutely right, and that's the tragedy. Right,

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 3>That's why primary prevention has to be number one we

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 3>have to reach our children. We have to reach them,

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 3>as a doctor Levi in our office always says, before

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 3>they jumped in the river, before they put their toes

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.239
<v Speaker 3>in the river, before they start experimenting with these drugs,

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.119
<v Speaker 3>because nothing good comes from it. You gave a great analogy,

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, with alcoholism, which is very deadly for some people,

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 3>destroy families, destroys life. You know, when you have those receptors,

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 3>when you become addicted and you're unable to unleash yourself

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 3>from those shackles, it becomes very very difficult. It's a

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>long process. Sometimes it takes multiple times to you know,

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 3>sometimes at fort five, six, seven, eight, eight times going

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 3>into rehabby before people let it go. And if they

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 3>don't let it go, you know, the choices are very

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 3>very narrow, and a lot of times it ends in depth,

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 3>and that's the tragedy. So we want to get the

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 3>word out. We want to be there. This is why,

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's generational as well. We want to get

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 3>families off of our streets. We want to protect children.

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 3>We are a nation that is both tough but it's tearing,

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 3>and we are doing this so that we can actually

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 3>save lives. We talk about housing first in the past.

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 3>You know that didn't work. The recidivism rate was through

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 3>the roof. And a lot of addicts who have recovered

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 3>have said to us, and these are personal testimonies, that

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 3>they couldn't even coming to California. You know that they

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 3>would get keys to an apartment, to a motel room

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 3>where they actually you know, they didn't have to pay

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 3>for it. They could go in and then they could

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 3>just use drugs and a lot of the people that

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 3>were using with them would die. But there was no

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>follow through, there was no oversight. It was like wasted

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 3>taxpayer dollars leading to the deaths of Americans. That is

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 3>not going to happen anymore in the United States, not

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 3>if we have anything to.

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 6>Say about it.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 3>We're making sure that we get the roadmap to do

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 3>things the right way. As Secretary Turner said, we're pulling

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 3>the money so that the fraud stopped.

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Sarah, you were made for this job. Our drugs are

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>She's the director of the White House Office of National

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Drug Control Policy. Keep up the great work, Sarah. I'd

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like to save lives. I put a high price on

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>human life, and you do too. Keep it up. We

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. Update us off in eight hundred. I happen

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to like our my county executive. You know, I left

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>New York now years ago, and I got a list

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>from lawyers and accountants. Do you realize there are now

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>entire industries that have been built up around how to

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 1>successfully leave blue states where they can't put their tentacles

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>into you because there are more, for example, New York

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>State eight tax agents in my free state of Florida

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>than there are in New York. I mean, and when

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>so I hired accountants, and I hired a law firm,

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and they came up with a list. There's nearly one

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred items of things I had to do to completely

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>cut myself off from New York, including don't go there

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>ever pretty much. And you know, I went once or

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>twice to visit family. I tend to I'd rather pay

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>their plane ticket, they rather come to Florida anyway.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Number one. And then the all the things you.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Have to do to establish domicile residency in the Free

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>State of Florida.

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>And there's a ton of stuff.

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things they made you do is like, well,

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>if you keep your house, they'll they'll try and argue.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 2>That that is really where your heart is.

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, everyone believes this stupidity of six months in

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a days. That's not how those people work. And I

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>know I've talked to too many people. They put them

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>through hell and it's just unbelievable and it just you know,

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>they push people out, then people leave. I mean they

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>basically Kathy Hokel, I want to just remind you what

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>she said and then what Andrew CMO said. You know,

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Hokel said to President Trump and Lee z Eldon,

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>get the hell out of town.

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Go down to Florida where you belong. Here's what she said.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 7>And we're here to say that the era of Trump

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 7>and Zelden and mon Arro, just jump on a bus

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 7>and head down to Florida where you belong.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, get out of town. Get out of town.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 6>Their problem is not me and the Democrats.

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 5>Their problem is themselves. Who are they are they? These

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 5>extreme conservatives who are right to life, a pro assault weapon,

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:21.120
<v Speaker 5>anti gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.439
<v Speaker 5>who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives,

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 5>they have no place in.

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 7>The state of New York.

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 5>So this was that's not who New Yorkers are.

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I did, like my county executive.

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>He's now running for governor, Bruce Blakeman now Kathy Hochel.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Also this week, you know, tried to use the Statue

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of liberty and her argument to protect the illegal immigrants

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and then sign one of the most comprehensive laws to

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>reign in ICE in the entire country.

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Let me play both of those for you.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 8>The Statue of Liberty stands tall in our harbor for generations.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.399
<v Speaker 8>She's had a simple message, bring me or tired, you're poor,

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 8>your huddled masses yearning to be free. And despite the

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 8>utter lack of humanity and compassion coming out of Washington,

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 8>that method still means something here in New York. It

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 8>means that in this state we treat all people with

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 8>dignity and decency, regardless of how they got here. And

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 8>that's one of the reasons I'm proudly signed one of

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 8>the most comprehensive laws to rein in ICE in the

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:30.439
<v Speaker 8>entire country. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from having formal

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 8>agreements with ICE. That means, unless a crime has been committed,

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 8>ICE cannot use local cops, their jails, their technology to

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 8>use local cops for civil immigration enforcement.

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, joining us. Now.

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>He was a great county executive, and I had to

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>sell my house, you know, on which I happen to

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 1>like it. I would have kept it, maybe as a

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 1>vacation at home if I could afford it. I don't

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 1>know would I didn't have a choice. The lawyer's accountant said,

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>don't do it anyway. Bruce Blakeman is with us. He's

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:04.239
<v Speaker 1>a great job as county executive, and the people love

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.200
<v Speaker 1>him in Nassau County. By the way, if you look

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.199
<v Speaker 1>out a map of New York, it's all red, except

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.919
<v Speaker 1>you got these five little burrows that are you know,

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>densely populated areas, including Zorn Marxist, Kami, Mamdannie's New York City,

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>et cetera.

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Bruce, good to talk to you, my friend. How are you.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing great, Sean, and we miss you very much.

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're very kind. You know. It's funny.

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I had Comrade de Blasio on my podcast and I said,

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you didn't really mean it when you said you wish

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't leave. He said, I actually did. Chuck Schumer

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>said the same thing to me. I'm like, well, you

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>chase me out. Two governors of a ROAs saying they

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want me to live there.

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, Sean, when high net worth individuals leave our state,

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 5>it hurts the carpenters, the electricians, the plumbers, the waiter,

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 5>the waitress, the bartender, and by New York frowning on

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.880
<v Speaker 5>you coming back to New York is so stupid because

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 5>if you stayed in your second home, you would be

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 5>creating economic opportunity. You'd be creating jobs. If you came

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 5>in to visit to go to a hotel, you'd be

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 5>patronizing a hotel restaurants. People in the Democratic Party, especially

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 5>the DSA, which as you said, there are a bunch

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 5>of commies and they're anti American. They don't understand that

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 5>it's economic activity that makes it more affordable for people

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 5>because it puts more money in their pocket to make

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 5>choices on how they want to spend their money, rather

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 5>than Kathy Hoakland Zo Ron Mundami.

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I still stay in touch.

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I used to go to, you know, restaurants on a

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>regular basis, Christ and Tony's and zioset a Rothman steakhouse.

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I used to go there.

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm still in touch with the people that own it

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and the people that wait tables there. They all became

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>friends of mine, and they're like, you know, they seem

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>more more of this that people, regular customers are leaving

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and it upsets them and it hurts their way of life.

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.119
<v Speaker 2>The people you know that I would that worked for me.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, whether landscapers or whatever happened to me.

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I stay in touch with them all. I mean, it's

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 1>just in that sense, it's sad. Now I do like

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Florida better. I'm not gonna lie because I like being

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>around the water, but I was on the water there.

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just, you know, they're doing everything possible. Look what

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>what Mamdani did to Ken Griffin. What was your thoughts

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.439
<v Speaker 1>on that? And now he's doxing everybody that owns a

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 1>home that he claimed even though he's wrong half the time,

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I judge stopped it.

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh that it's not their full time residence.

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, not only does it kill jobs and not only

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 5>is it bad for the economy, but what Ziah and

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 5>Mandani has been doing is anti American. This guy does

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.719
<v Speaker 5>not believe in American values. This is a guy who

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 5>believes in collectivism, which is another word for communism. This

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 5>is a guy that on life force didn't have one

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 5>good thing to say about America on the two hundred

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 5>and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest nation in the world

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 5>that's created more prosperity for people and more freedom for

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 5>people than any other form of government. This is a

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.920
<v Speaker 5>guy that's an anti Semite, he's anti Christian, and he's

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 5>anti American.

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm very fond of lee Zelden, and lee

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Zelden in the.

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Last election.

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Outperformed all of my expectations because of mass migration. I

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>really do believe what I said is true. I think

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 1>you are the last great, final hope for New York State?

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Am I wrong?

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 5>I wake up every morning with that burden on my shoulders,

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 5>and I know that I'm running for the right reasons

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 5>to save our state. We're in a death spiral now.

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 5>Sean the highest tax state in America, where fiftieth in

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 5>economic outlook are Electric bills are seventy percent higher than

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 5>the national average. People are suffering in the state. They're miserable.

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.360
<v Speaker 5>Under Kathy Hockel, she spent eight billion dollars of our

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 5>tax money on illegal migrants who weren't New Yorkers. They're

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 5>not Americans. They didn't earn a thing they get more

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 5>than New Yorkers get. It's absolutely insane. And each and

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 5>every day I have a Democrat that comes up to

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 5>me and says, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Republican before in my life. I'm voting for you, and

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm voting Republican this year because our party is crazy.

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 5>This is not the party of Mario Clomo. This is

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 5>not the party if you carry. This is not the

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 5>party of Daniel Patrick moynihan. It's not even the party

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.919
<v Speaker 5>of Bill Clinton. Because you know what the difference is, Sean.

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 5>When we may have had political differences with people in

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic Party, you and I, we know all along

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 5>that they loved America. That we had differences, but they

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 5>loved America. This DSA Kathy hochels Zara Mandami, they hate America.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 5>And that's the most troubling thing. And I'm running for

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 5>our kids and our grandkids to save our stay and

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 5>pull it out of that death spiral that Kathy Hoko

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:12.360
<v Speaker 5>has us in so that we can create prosperity, cut taxes,

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 5>cut electric bills, give people more freedom, and have safer communities.

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Because they don't even respect our law enforcement.

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're going to follow this race closely. All our

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 1>prayers are with you, and I mean that sincerely. I

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of friends in New York and I

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 1>know you'd crush it. I know you'd do a great job,

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really really pulling for you in this campaign.

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Blakeman, New York gubernatorial candidate. We really appreciate what

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:42.719
<v Speaker 1>you're doing. Keep working hard. Oh, and you have President

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump coming tomorrow right.

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 5>President Trump's coming tomorrow. He's going to visit all of

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 5>our law enforcement facilities, which are some of the best

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 5>in the world, and we're just honored to have him there.

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 5>He's coming to pay his respect to all the men

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 5>and women of law enforcement and volunteer firefighters and first responders.

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 5>So we're really proud of that. And I know he's

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 5>your good body, and we will certainly pass on your

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.959
<v Speaker 5>good greetings. And Sean, we love what you're doing. We

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 5>love you. We miss you. When I'm governor, you'll come

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.199
<v Speaker 5>back here. Nobody will harass you. Make God bless you,

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 5>and make God bless America.

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate you, Bruce Blakeman. I please, if you're

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 1>a New York savior, state, Bruce will transform New York

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 1>in ways you can't imagine. All right, let's get to

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:35.479
<v Speaker 1>a couple of calls. Cheryl is in Tennessee. Hello, Cheryl,

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>how are you.

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Sean, I'm great. How are you?

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm good? Glad you called.

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm glad you took my call. I just wanted to

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 6>come back to something you were talking about yesterday, about

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 6>touching a lifeless body and why people would.

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my word, is this what you want to talk about?

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Because Linda touches dead bodies like at a wake. You

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's weird.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:25:59.679
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't.

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 6>And the reason I'm calling is to give you some insights,

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 6>so maybe you could understand why some people do. My

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 6>husband was taken for me suddenly and unexpectedly, and the

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.719
<v Speaker 6>opportunity to speak to him was taken in a moment.

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:21.919
<v Speaker 6>And I would have called up in his casket and

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 6>laid with him as long as they allowed me to,

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 6>if I could have, because I knew as soon as

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 6>they closed it, I would never see him again this

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.880
<v Speaker 6>side of heaven. I have no problem touching my loved one,

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 6>even though I know his spirit isn't there. But that's

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 6>the last representation physically of a man I spent thirty

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 6>years with and absolutely I would touch him. I caressed him,

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:47.200
<v Speaker 6>I kissed him, and I held his hand. I don't

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:47.439
<v Speaker 6>have that.

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, you're making me feel terrible now

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that I said a lot. What you're describing is a deep,

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>abiding love the couples I wish every couple had. And okay,

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm making an exce option for you. I understand. I'm

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 1>so sorry for your loss. By the way, but Linda

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:07.959
<v Speaker 1>like touches every dead body. It's it doesn't have to

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>be the husband that she just adored. But you're giving

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.439
<v Speaker 1>me a different perspective in your case. I don't have

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 1>a problem with it. In Linda's case, I have a

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 1>ton of problems with it.

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 6>You may touch Angeli even though she's not there. I

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 6>could be wrong.

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. No, well, I I don't.

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I you're making me open my mind and rethink it.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>But honestly, I want I want to be remembered as

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I am. I don't want to be remembered in a

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>coughin and people staring at me. But Cheryl, God bless you,

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry about your loss. Your husband sounds like a

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>one wonderful man, and you sound like you had a beautiful,

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>beautiful marriage.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm so happy for you.
