Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott shot An hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of this program, this extravaganza, you know,
Speaker 1: I will tell you one of the saddest things that
Speaker 1: you get to see in life is addiction. I learned
Speaker 1: a lot about addiction when I was seventeen years old.
Speaker 2: I was working at a bar when I was twelve.
Speaker 2: I've told the.
Speaker 1: Story a million times that, like I know some of
Speaker 1: you are saying, and don't tell it again. Linda is
Speaker 1: the rolling her eyes right now. I was a dishwasher
Speaker 1: every Friday, Saturday, Sunday night till two am in the morning.
Speaker 1: At thirteen, I was a cook. Later I became a
Speaker 1: bus boy waiter. Seventeen I was a bartender, and I
Speaker 1: learned a lot about addiction. You know, in the case
Speaker 1: of alcohol addiction and alcoholism, it's so weird because every individual,
Speaker 1: like your own DNA and your own fingerprint, has their number.
Speaker 2: What is the number?
Speaker 1: Well, for some people, if they have one drink, it's
Speaker 1: too much for them. Some people can't drink, they don't
Speaker 1: metabolize it. It alters their personality immediately and they it
Speaker 1: just brings the absolute worst out of them. For some people,
Speaker 1: they have one drink and they like acting like woo,
Speaker 1: that's kind of like Linda.
Speaker 2: Is that you Linda? Which one of you? Some people
Speaker 2: that have not a grinchy drinker, that is fake news.
Speaker 3: I do not go.
Speaker 1: Two or three but once for example. And this is
Speaker 1: I'm using stereotypes which I don't like to use. But
Speaker 1: there is something I observed that for example, men when
Speaker 1: they drink too much either get into I love you, bro,
Speaker 1: I love you my best friend, or they want to
Speaker 1: fight somebody and they want to flirt with anybody at
Speaker 1: the bar, even if a woman's with her married husband.
Speaker 1: It's insane. Women tend to become a little more flirtatious.
Speaker 1: But I've seen women fighting each other too, So there
Speaker 1: is some commonality there. Now we're not even talking about.
Speaker 1: As bad as that is, and that's bad, there are
Speaker 1: all these other addictions on top of it, and you
Speaker 1: know it's and then you look at countries that are targeting.
Speaker 2: Our youth with all of these these drugs.
Speaker 1: You know feanyl, You know three grains of sault can
Speaker 1: kill a this fentanyl, but the size of three grains
Speaker 1: assault can kill a two hundred and fifty pounds man.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 1: Well, you look at opioid addiction, heroin addiction, you know,
Speaker 1: then you have prescription drug addiction, which is just out
Speaker 1: of control.
Speaker 2: We are an over prescribed society. Period. End of sentence
Speaker 2: is no other way to put it, you know.
Speaker 1: Robert Kennedy Junior discussed the Trump administration fight to end
Speaker 1: homelessness in drug addiction. He himself went through years of this.
Speaker 1: I had a long talk with him, a personal talk.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't disclose the contents of it. And when you're
Speaker 1: in the throes of addiction, it is almost for the
Speaker 1: person impossible to get out of it.
Speaker 2: It's hard to explain, but here's what he said.
Speaker 4: President Trump made this mission a national priority through the
Speaker 4: Great American Recovery. His leadership has made it possible for
Speaker 4: us to break down silos across the federal government, demand
Speaker 4: accountability for results, and put recovery at the center of
Speaker 4: our response to addiction and homelessness. We are directing federal
Speaker 4: resources towards programs that deliver lasting results, not programs that
Speaker 4: perpetuate cycles of deedtalks, relapse, and re entry into care.
Speaker 4: And we're already seeing progress. In fact, new provisional data
Speaker 4: that was released today show that overdose tests have dropped
Speaker 4: I'm within twelve percent over the last twelve months. That
Speaker 4: means nearly ten thousand more Americans alive today would otherwise
Speaker 4: not be alive. Those numbers underscore what as and Trump
Speaker 4: has made clear. When we put recovery first and demand results, we.
Speaker 2: Save lives all right.
Speaker 1: Joining us now is the director of the White House
Speaker 1: Office of National Drug Policy, a longtime front of this program,
Speaker 1: often referred to by the way as the Drugs Are Now.
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter is with us, and she has done so
Speaker 1: much work for this program and for Hannity the TV
Speaker 1: show in terms of going down to the border dealing
Speaker 1: with the illegal immigration and the drug smugglers and the cartels.
Speaker 1: And she's seen it up close and personal. I had
Speaker 1: the same experience when I used to go down on
Speaker 1: the border twelve, fourteen, fifteen times, been in a drug warehouse,
Speaker 1: the you know, Florida ceiling, the biggest warehouse you've ever seen,
Speaker 1: with a stench you can't take. And you know this
Speaker 1: is all drugs confiscated, you know, not counting all the
Speaker 1: drugs that get through and the unbelievable ways that people
Speaker 1: smuggle drugs into this country. We're poisoning our children and
Speaker 1: it's just terrible. Well, anyway, Sarah Carter, we miss you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're the drugs are. I can't think of
Speaker 1: a better person for this job. Tell us how it's going.
Speaker 3: It's been going great, Sean. I'm here in San Diego.
Speaker 3: I was with Secretary Kennedy here as well as Secretary
Speaker 3: Scott Turner where our office, the Office of National Drug
Speaker 3: Control Policy often yes referred to as the Drugs are
Speaker 3: re released our Best Practices Toolkit. What it is is
Speaker 3: a treatment first way of handling homelessness and drug addiction
Speaker 3: in the United States. It's not about housing first. Secretary
Speaker 3: Turner Secretary Kennedy have been very clear. We are done
Speaker 3: with waste, fraud, and abuse, and what we want at
Speaker 3: on DCP, what we want is for people to live.
Speaker 3: Every human being counts. We're not going to lock them
Speaker 3: up in some motel give them housing without treatment. We
Speaker 3: want them to have treatment first, and we want rules
Speaker 3: that protect children as well. You know, I'm here in
Speaker 3: San Diego and I was speaking to folks out here
Speaker 3: and I went around this beautiful city, absolutely stunning city.
Speaker 3: And then one area of the city you can just
Speaker 3: see the addiction these old methods of farm reduction, where
Speaker 3: people are in the streets and they've got needles in
Speaker 3: their arms and they're you know, smoking cracks, they're using
Speaker 3: mess they are shooting up Heroin with sentinel and the
Speaker 3: horrors of seeing that and then realizing that amongst those
Speaker 3: people that are on the streets the adults are children
Speaker 3: as well. So we need to you know, this needs
Speaker 3: to be all inclusive. We need to protect our children.
Speaker 3: Secretary Kennedy and I and a Secretary Turner have now
Speaker 3: a road nap, a roadmap and guidelines that are going
Speaker 3: to go across the United States, rescue missions across our country,
Speaker 3: and treatment center whether they're faith based or non faith based.
Speaker 3: But we're bringing faith into the equation. We are reaching
Speaker 3: out to our faith based communities as well and saying here,
Speaker 3: this is a way to address homelessness and addiction through treatment. First,
Speaker 3: let's do it. I just returned from Columbia. I got
Speaker 3: to tell you President Trump has been absolutely amazing his
Speaker 3: policies and this administration. Our friendships, our connections and what
Speaker 3: we're doing. We were in Columbia for the inauguration. I
Speaker 3: was with Attorney General Blanche as well as the head
Speaker 3: of DEA Administrator, Terry Cole, and we were there watching
Speaker 3: this great moment a shift in geopolitically in our hemisphere
Speaker 3: where we now have the Tiger lt Ray President de
Speaker 3: La s Brea in office, and he's going to be
Speaker 3: working very closely with us in eradicating COCA and going
Speaker 3: after the cartels. I leave today for our Tina where
Speaker 3: we will be holding the International Drug Enforcement Conference with
Speaker 3: nations from all over the Western hem in Argentina in
Speaker 3: Buenos Aires to discuss the best way to go after
Speaker 3: the cartels and after adversaries that are poisoning and targeting
Speaker 3: our children.
Speaker 5: This is non stop.
Speaker 3: President Trump has given us a mission, and we are
Speaker 3: working to save lives in the United States and stop
Speaker 3: the bad guys from bringing the bad stuff in. And
Speaker 3: to know that in some cases, federal tax dollars actually
Speaker 3: went these harms, so called harm reduction programs where you know,
Speaker 3: they're passing out you know, foil, so that they can
Speaker 3: utilize that for their drug paraphernalia where they're allowing people
Speaker 3: to shoot up and they give them housing, but there's
Speaker 3: no treatment. There's no treatment, there's no help, there's no
Speaker 3: you know, there's no guidance to recovery or living a
Speaker 3: better life. But instead there are kept in like the
Speaker 3: shackles of their addiction and inside these horrific you know,
Speaker 3: motels and decrepit buildings where where these are lost and
Speaker 3: forgotten souls and right now on the streets. You're absolutely right,
Speaker 3: these hot shots or we have at least at ONDCP
Speaker 3: now with our wastewater testing and working as a whole
Speaker 3: of government with the CDC. For the first time, because
Speaker 3: of the testing that we are doing on wastewater, we
Speaker 3: were able to see metatomidine, which is known as rhinoceros
Speaker 3: tranquilizer out on the streets. I mean, think about this.
Speaker 3: It's one hundred just three hundred times more potent than
Speaker 3: xylazine and it was out on the streets and it
Speaker 3: was killing our citizens. And we need to change in culture,
Speaker 3: a change in the way we think about ourselves and
Speaker 3: the way we treat drug use and drug addiction. And
Speaker 3: we need to tell our kids you are wor more
Speaker 3: than this. You can have anything in your life, just
Speaker 3: do not be shackled down by you know, experimentation and drugs.
Speaker 3: This isn't a right of passage. This can actually kill you.
Speaker 3: And we have enemies of our state that are out
Speaker 3: there and that are targeting our country and that are
Speaker 3: targeting our citizens. I always call this, you know, and
Speaker 3: I've said it before, Sean, this is irregular warfare against us.
Speaker 3: When you think about the type of sense and know
Speaker 3: the type of precursors that have been you know, just
Speaker 3: basically smuggled into our country, and how they have affected
Speaker 3: our nation, is it is very real. I think now
Speaker 3: it's the time that we wake up and together as
Speaker 3: a nation, we fight back on multiple levels, both inside
Speaker 3: the United States and outside the United States. And that's
Speaker 3: what President Trump has allowed us to do. And I mean,
Speaker 3: I feel grateful to be with people that are so
Speaker 3: much that they are willing to do everything to save
Speaker 3: lives and to save future generations of Americans. And that's
Speaker 3: what we're doing with this treatment first approach. It doesn't
Speaker 3: mean we don't want to get people.
Speaker 1: Housing right quick break right back more with Sarah Carter,
Speaker 1: our drugs are the director of the White House Office
Speaker 1: of National Drug Control Policy. On the other side, we'll
Speaker 1: also get your calls in Bruce Blakeman, new York gubernatorial candidate,
Speaker 1: will join us. The President is going to New York
Speaker 1: in Nasau County tomorrow. Anyway, there's one poll that shows
Speaker 1: at a four point race. Also, what the hell happened
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin? Even Frank Lunz said, you know, the polling
Speaker 1: that's taken place is so disgusting it should end. It
Speaker 1: is hurting our electoral process. We'll get Scott Walker's take
Speaker 1: on that coming up as well as we continue in
Speaker 1: your calls eight hundred and nine four.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Our final love months with nation's drugs are the director
Speaker 1: of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy,
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter are old friend is with us. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you, though, Sarah, what about the recidivism rate? I
Speaker 1: know people that have been in and out of rehab,
Speaker 1: you know, ten times before either they get off it
Speaker 1: or die. Because that's basically that that's your choice. You
Speaker 1: either give up your addiction or the odds are high
Speaker 1: that you're going to die from some drug related complication, overdose,
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean, You're absolutely right, and that's the tragedy. Right,
Speaker 3: That's why primary prevention has to be number one we
Speaker 3: have to reach our children. We have to reach them,
Speaker 3: as a doctor Levi in our office always says, before
Speaker 3: they jumped in the river, before they put their toes
Speaker 3: in the river, before they start experimenting with these drugs,
Speaker 3: because nothing good comes from it. You gave a great analogy,
Speaker 3: you know, with alcoholism, which is very deadly for some people,
Speaker 3: destroy families, destroys life. You know, when you have those receptors,
Speaker 3: when you become addicted and you're unable to unleash yourself
Speaker 3: from those shackles, it becomes very very difficult. It's a
Speaker 3: long process. Sometimes it takes multiple times to you know,
Speaker 3: sometimes at fort five, six, seven, eight, eight times going
Speaker 3: into rehabby before people let it go. And if they
Speaker 3: don't let it go, you know, the choices are very
Speaker 3: very narrow, and a lot of times it ends in depth,
Speaker 3: and that's the tragedy. So we want to get the
Speaker 3: word out. We want to be there. This is why,
Speaker 3: you know, it's generational as well. We want to get
Speaker 3: families off of our streets. We want to protect children.
Speaker 3: We are a nation that is both tough but it's tearing,
Speaker 3: and we are doing this so that we can actually
Speaker 3: save lives. We talk about housing first in the past.
Speaker 3: You know that didn't work. The recidivism rate was through
Speaker 3: the roof. And a lot of addicts who have recovered
Speaker 3: have said to us, and these are personal testimonies, that
Speaker 3: they couldn't even coming to California. You know that they
Speaker 3: would get keys to an apartment, to a motel room
Speaker 3: where they actually you know, they didn't have to pay
Speaker 3: for it. They could go in and then they could
Speaker 3: just use drugs and a lot of the people that
Speaker 3: were using with them would die. But there was no
Speaker 3: follow through, there was no oversight. It was like wasted
Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars leading to the deaths of Americans. That is
Speaker 3: not going to happen anymore in the United States, not
Speaker 3: if we have anything to.
Speaker 6: Say about it.
Speaker 3: We're making sure that we get the roadmap to do
Speaker 3: things the right way. As Secretary Turner said, we're pulling
Speaker 3: the money so that the fraud stopped.
Speaker 1: Sarah, you were made for this job. Our drugs are
Speaker 1: She's the director of the White House Office of National
Speaker 1: Drug Control Policy. Keep up the great work, Sarah. I'd
Speaker 1: like to save lives. I put a high price on
Speaker 1: human life, and you do too. Keep it up. We
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Update us off in eight hundred. I happen
Speaker 1: to like our my county executive. You know, I left
Speaker 1: New York now years ago, and I got a list
Speaker 1: from lawyers and accountants. Do you realize there are now
Speaker 1: entire industries that have been built up around how to
Speaker 1: successfully leave blue states where they can't put their tentacles
Speaker 1: into you because there are more, for example, New York
Speaker 1: State eight tax agents in my free state of Florida
Speaker 1: than there are in New York. I mean, and when
Speaker 1: so I hired accountants, and I hired a law firm,
Speaker 1: and they came up with a list. There's nearly one
Speaker 1: hundred items of things I had to do to completely
Speaker 1: cut myself off from New York, including don't go there
Speaker 1: ever pretty much. And you know, I went once or
Speaker 1: twice to visit family. I tend to I'd rather pay
Speaker 1: their plane ticket, they rather come to Florida anyway.
Speaker 2: Number one. And then the all the things you.
Speaker 1: Have to do to establish domicile residency in the Free
Speaker 1: State of Florida.
Speaker 2: And there's a ton of stuff.
Speaker 1: But one of the things they made you do is like, well,
Speaker 1: if you keep your house, they'll they'll try and argue.
Speaker 2: That that is really where your heart is.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone believes this stupidity of six months in
Speaker 1: a days. That's not how those people work. And I
Speaker 1: know I've talked to too many people. They put them
Speaker 1: through hell and it's just unbelievable and it just you know,
Speaker 1: they push people out, then people leave. I mean they
Speaker 1: basically Kathy Hokel, I want to just remind you what
Speaker 1: she said and then what Andrew CMO said. You know,
Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel said to President Trump and Lee z Eldon,
Speaker 1: get the hell out of town.
Speaker 2: Go down to Florida where you belong. Here's what she said.
Speaker 7: And we're here to say that the era of Trump
Speaker 7: and Zelden and mon Arro, just jump on a bus
Speaker 7: and head down to Florida where you belong.
Speaker 2: Okay, get out of town. Get out of town.
Speaker 6: Their problem is not me and the Democrats.
Speaker 5: Their problem is themselves. Who are they are they? These
Speaker 5: extreme conservatives who are right to life, a pro assault weapon,
Speaker 5: anti gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's
Speaker 5: who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives,
Speaker 5: they have no place in.
Speaker 7: The state of New York.
Speaker 5: So this was that's not who New Yorkers are.
Speaker 2: I did, like my county executive.
Speaker 1: He's now running for governor, Bruce Blakeman now Kathy Hochel.
Speaker 1: Also this week, you know, tried to use the Statue
Speaker 1: of liberty and her argument to protect the illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: and then sign one of the most comprehensive laws to
Speaker 1: reign in ICE in the entire country.
Speaker 2: Let me play both of those for you.
Speaker 8: The Statue of Liberty stands tall in our harbor for generations.
Speaker 8: She's had a simple message, bring me or tired, you're poor,
Speaker 8: your huddled masses yearning to be free. And despite the
Speaker 8: utter lack of humanity and compassion coming out of Washington,
Speaker 8: that method still means something here in New York. It
Speaker 8: means that in this state we treat all people with
Speaker 8: dignity and decency, regardless of how they got here. And
Speaker 8: that's one of the reasons I'm proudly signed one of
Speaker 8: the most comprehensive laws to rein in ICE in the
Speaker 8: entire country. It prohibits law enforcement agencies from having formal
Speaker 8: agreements with ICE. That means, unless a crime has been committed,
Speaker 8: ICE cannot use local cops, their jails, their technology to
Speaker 8: use local cops for civil immigration enforcement.
Speaker 2: All right, joining us. Now.
Speaker 1: He was a great county executive, and I had to
Speaker 1: sell my house, you know, on which I happen to
Speaker 1: like it. I would have kept it, maybe as a
Speaker 1: vacation at home if I could afford it. I don't
Speaker 1: know would I didn't have a choice. The lawyer's accountant said,
Speaker 1: don't do it anyway. Bruce Blakeman is with us. He's
Speaker 1: a great job as county executive, and the people love
Speaker 1: him in Nassau County. By the way, if you look
Speaker 1: out a map of New York, it's all red, except
Speaker 1: you got these five little burrows that are you know,
Speaker 1: densely populated areas, including Zorn Marxist, Kami, Mamdannie's New York City,
Speaker 1: et cetera.
Speaker 2: Bruce, good to talk to you, my friend. How are you.
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, Sean, and we miss you very much.
Speaker 2: You know, you're very kind. You know. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I had Comrade de Blasio on my podcast and I said,
Speaker 1: you didn't really mean it when you said you wish
Speaker 1: I didn't leave. He said, I actually did. Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: said the same thing to me. I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: chase me out. Two governors of a ROAs saying they
Speaker 1: don't want me to live there.
Speaker 5: Well, Sean, when high net worth individuals leave our state,
Speaker 5: it hurts the carpenters, the electricians, the plumbers, the waiter,
Speaker 5: the waitress, the bartender, and by New York frowning on
Speaker 5: you coming back to New York is so stupid because
Speaker 5: if you stayed in your second home, you would be
Speaker 5: creating economic opportunity. You'd be creating jobs. If you came
Speaker 5: in to visit to go to a hotel, you'd be
Speaker 5: patronizing a hotel restaurants. People in the Democratic Party, especially
Speaker 5: the DSA, which as you said, there are a bunch
Speaker 5: of commies and they're anti American. They don't understand that
Speaker 5: it's economic activity that makes it more affordable for people
Speaker 5: because it puts more money in their pocket to make
Speaker 5: choices on how they want to spend their money, rather
Speaker 5: than Kathy Hoakland Zo Ron Mundami.
Speaker 2: You know, I still stay in touch.
Speaker 1: I used to go to, you know, restaurants on a
Speaker 1: regular basis, Christ and Tony's and zioset a Rothman steakhouse.
Speaker 2: I used to go there.
Speaker 1: I'm still in touch with the people that own it
Speaker 1: and the people that wait tables there. They all became
Speaker 1: friends of mine, and they're like, you know, they seem
Speaker 1: more more of this that people, regular customers are leaving
Speaker 1: and it upsets them and it hurts their way of life.
Speaker 2: The people you know that I would that worked for me.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, whether landscapers or whatever happened to me.
Speaker 1: I stay in touch with them all. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just in that sense, it's sad. Now I do like
Speaker 1: Florida better. I'm not gonna lie because I like being
Speaker 1: around the water, but I was on the water there.
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, they're doing everything possible. Look what
Speaker 1: what Mamdani did to Ken Griffin. What was your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that? And now he's doxing everybody that owns a
Speaker 1: home that he claimed even though he's wrong half the time,
Speaker 1: I judge stopped it.
Speaker 2: Uh that it's not their full time residence.
Speaker 5: Well, not only does it kill jobs and not only
Speaker 5: is it bad for the economy, but what Ziah and
Speaker 5: Mandani has been doing is anti American. This guy does
Speaker 5: not believe in American values. This is a guy who
Speaker 5: believes in collectivism, which is another word for communism. This
Speaker 5: is a guy that on life force didn't have one
Speaker 5: good thing to say about America on the two hundred
Speaker 5: and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest nation in the world
Speaker 5: that's created more prosperity for people and more freedom for
Speaker 5: people than any other form of government. This is a
Speaker 5: guy that's an anti Semite, he's anti Christian, and he's
Speaker 5: anti American.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm very fond of lee Zelden, and lee
Speaker 1: Zelden in the.
Speaker 2: Last election.
Speaker 1: Outperformed all of my expectations because of mass migration. I
Speaker 1: really do believe what I said is true. I think
Speaker 1: you are the last great, final hope for New York State?
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?
Speaker 5: I wake up every morning with that burden on my shoulders,
Speaker 5: and I know that I'm running for the right reasons
Speaker 5: to save our state. We're in a death spiral now.
Speaker 5: Sean the highest tax state in America, where fiftieth in
Speaker 5: economic outlook are Electric bills are seventy percent higher than
Speaker 5: the national average. People are suffering in the state. They're miserable.
Speaker 5: Under Kathy Hockel, she spent eight billion dollars of our
Speaker 5: tax money on illegal migrants who weren't New Yorkers. They're
Speaker 5: not Americans. They didn't earn a thing they get more
Speaker 5: than New Yorkers get. It's absolutely insane. And each and
Speaker 5: every day I have a Democrat that comes up to
Speaker 5: me and says, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I've never voted
Speaker 5: Republican before in my life. I'm voting for you, and
Speaker 5: I'm voting Republican this year because our party is crazy.
Speaker 5: This is not the party of Mario Clomo. This is
Speaker 5: not the party if you carry. This is not the
Speaker 5: party of Daniel Patrick moynihan. It's not even the party
Speaker 5: of Bill Clinton. Because you know what the difference is, Sean.
Speaker 5: When we may have had political differences with people in
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party, you and I, we know all along
Speaker 5: that they loved America. That we had differences, but they
Speaker 5: loved America. This DSA Kathy hochels Zara Mandami, they hate America.
Speaker 5: And that's the most troubling thing. And I'm running for
Speaker 5: our kids and our grandkids to save our stay and
Speaker 5: pull it out of that death spiral that Kathy Hoko
Speaker 5: has us in so that we can create prosperity, cut taxes,
Speaker 5: cut electric bills, give people more freedom, and have safer communities.
Speaker 5: Because they don't even respect our law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to follow this race closely. All our
Speaker 1: prayers are with you, and I mean that sincerely. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends in New York and I
Speaker 1: know you'd crush it. I know you'd do a great job,
Speaker 1: and I'm really really pulling for you in this campaign.
Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, New York gubernatorial candidate. We really appreciate what
Speaker 1: you're doing. Keep working hard. Oh, and you have President
Speaker 1: Trump coming tomorrow right.
Speaker 5: President Trump's coming tomorrow. He's going to visit all of
Speaker 5: our law enforcement facilities, which are some of the best
Speaker 5: in the world, and we're just honored to have him there.
Speaker 5: He's coming to pay his respect to all the men
Speaker 5: and women of law enforcement and volunteer firefighters and first responders.
Speaker 5: So we're really proud of that. And I know he's
Speaker 5: your good body, and we will certainly pass on your
Speaker 5: good greetings. And Sean, we love what you're doing. We
Speaker 5: love you. We miss you. When I'm governor, you'll come
Speaker 5: back here. Nobody will harass you. Make God bless you,
Speaker 5: and make God bless America.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you, Bruce Blakeman. I please, if you're
Speaker 1: a New York savior, state, Bruce will transform New York
Speaker 1: in ways you can't imagine. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: a couple of calls. Cheryl is in Tennessee. Hello, Cheryl,
Speaker 1: how are you.
Speaker 6: Hi, Sean, I'm great. How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good? Glad you called.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 6: I'm glad you took my call. I just wanted to
Speaker 6: come back to something you were talking about yesterday, about
Speaker 6: touching a lifeless body and why people would.
Speaker 1: Oh my word, is this what you want to talk about?
Speaker 1: Because Linda touches dead bodies like at a wake. You
Speaker 1: don't think that's weird.
Speaker 5: No, I don't.
Speaker 6: And the reason I'm calling is to give you some insights,
Speaker 6: so maybe you could understand why some people do. My
Speaker 6: husband was taken for me suddenly and unexpectedly, and the
Speaker 6: opportunity to speak to him was taken in a moment.
Speaker 6: And I would have called up in his casket and
Speaker 6: laid with him as long as they allowed me to,
Speaker 6: if I could have, because I knew as soon as
Speaker 6: they closed it, I would never see him again this
Speaker 6: side of heaven. I have no problem touching my loved one,
Speaker 6: even though I know his spirit isn't there. But that's
Speaker 6: the last representation physically of a man I spent thirty
Speaker 6: years with and absolutely I would touch him. I caressed him,
Speaker 6: I kissed him, and I held his hand. I don't
Speaker 6: have that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're making me feel terrible now
Speaker 1: that I said a lot. What you're describing is a deep,
Speaker 1: abiding love the couples I wish every couple had. And okay,
Speaker 1: I'm making an exce option for you. I understand. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry for your loss. By the way, but Linda
Speaker 1: like touches every dead body. It's it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be the husband that she just adored. But you're giving
Speaker 1: me a different perspective in your case. I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem with it. In Linda's case, I have a
Speaker 1: ton of problems with it.
Speaker 6: You may touch Angeli even though she's not there. I
Speaker 6: could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm not. No, well, I I don't.
Speaker 1: I you're making me open my mind and rethink it.
Speaker 1: But honestly, I want I want to be remembered as
Speaker 1: I am. I don't want to be remembered in a
Speaker 1: coughin and people staring at me. But Cheryl, God bless you,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about your loss. Your husband sounds like a
Speaker 1: one wonderful man, and you sound like you had a beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful marriage.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy for you.
