Speaker 1: All right, news round up in information Overload hour. Here's
Speaker 1: our toll free telephone number this Friday. It is eight
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four to one, Shawn, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So, a conservative tax policy attorney who you're going to
Speaker 1: meet in a second Rosemary Becky is going to join
Speaker 1: us and founder of Jersey First, which is a grassroots
Speaker 1: organization dedicated to protecting taxpayers holding government accountable. And she
Speaker 1: is here today to highlight New York City Mayor Zoron
Speaker 1: Marxist Kami Mamdani celebration of a deal that will give
Speaker 1: New York residents one thousand World Cup tickets. This is,
Speaker 1: you know, the big World Cup time and it's in
Speaker 1: New Jersey at the Meadowlands. Good luck traveling to New
Speaker 1: Jersey for those of you that will.
Speaker 2: Make that track. Good luck to you anyway, she says.
Speaker 1: The arrangement perfectly captures everything wrong with how major public
Speaker 1: events are increasingly managed and taxpayers, you know, shoulder the
Speaker 1: cost while politicians distributed the benefits. I mean, because you
Speaker 1: got mom Nannie out there has this fifty dollars World
Speaker 1: Cup ticket lottery and give it to people and you
Speaker 1: know FIFA is not caring about the cost of New
Speaker 1: Jersey residences and new a lot of people in New
Speaker 1: Jersey are pretty pissed off about it, but that then
Speaker 1: raises the price of everything. Anyway, here to break it
Speaker 1: down and explain it to us is Rosemary Becky is
Speaker 1: with us conservative tax policy attorney.
Speaker 2: Rosemary. How are you happy Friday?
Speaker 3: Happy Friday, Sean glad to be here?
Speaker 1: Tell us what's really happening here. I'm not the biggest
Speaker 1: soccer fan. Are you a big soccer fan?
Speaker 3: I am not a big soccer fan. And we've got
Speaker 3: a lot going on here. So first of all, I
Speaker 3: will tell you that New Jersey has invested over fifty
Speaker 3: million dollars directly into the host Committee. In addition, we've
Speaker 3: spent over three hundred million dollars on public infrastructure and
Speaker 3: all sorts of things to get ready for this. And
Speaker 3: meanwhile we've got New York City Mayor Mondami cutting a
Speaker 3: deal with the FIFA Host Committee. He secured a thousand
Speaker 3: tickets for just fifty dollars each plus three round trip
Speaker 3: bus transit, just and this is solely for New York citizens. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: New Jerseyans are paying the You know four hundred to
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred dollars ticket prices, plus Governor Cheryls said that
Speaker 3: the trains will cost ninety eight dollars each way, So
Speaker 3: it seems like we've got something that's pretty much.
Speaker 1: How do they charge ninety eight bucks each way for
Speaker 1: a stupid train ride?
Speaker 3: It's insane, It's silly, It's absolutely silly. You got me,
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure I know many people that are
Speaker 3: going to pay eighty or ninety eight dollars excuse me
Speaker 3: to ride the train.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That is crazy. So I don't think there's
Speaker 2: anything you can do.
Speaker 1: But this does this, this is the embodiment of everything
Speaker 1: Mamdani stands for. I mean, he wants free buses, he
Speaker 1: wants you know, cradle to grave, womb to the tomb.
Speaker 1: You know, look at the video he did doc seeing
Speaker 1: Ken Griffin and standing in front of the guy's building. Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy's a multi billionaire. If you're a billionaire, correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Does that not just by virtue
Speaker 1: of being a billionaire make you a target? And you
Speaker 1: have people now that literally regularly dehumanize and demonize people
Speaker 1: that are wealthy, and now Mamdani's telling everybody, well, this
Speaker 1: is where this guy lives. He was going to spend
Speaker 1: six billion dollars investing in New York City, and now
Speaker 1: he's decided to take it to my free state of Florida.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 1: And I think he'd be a fool to stay and
Speaker 1: even keep any business in New York.
Speaker 3: At this point, I could not agree with you more.
Speaker 3: And to demonize somebody that's given to the city and
Speaker 3: that frankly has earned their money is silliness. And and
Speaker 3: everything that you've got going on in New York it's
Speaker 3: just I mean, it's it all. Somebody's got to pay
Speaker 3: for it, right, And even with this this skill between
Speaker 3: you know, New Jersey and New York, Right, New Jerseyans
Speaker 3: are going to bear the brunt and the cost of
Speaker 3: the giveaways in New York City. And by the way,
Speaker 3: New Jersey's broke and it's not like we have the money,
Speaker 3: We've got a huge structural depthices.
Speaker 1: Well why does New Jersey have to pay for that?
Speaker 1: Why is because you're saying there'll be fewer tickets available
Speaker 1: for people in New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Well, no, we've already tax dollars have already gone directly
Speaker 3: into the host committee. Those are our tax dollars that
Speaker 3: got put in there. We're absolutely paying the freight. So
Speaker 3: it's just total chaos silliness. Right. At one point, Governor
Speaker 3: Cheryl was proposing to raise taxes right on the sale
Speaker 3: of goods in and around the area where the games
Speaker 3: are being played. Fortunately, there's been enough pushback on that
Speaker 3: and they are no longer pursuing that. But again, it's
Speaker 3: just an indication that it's more New Jersey tax payers
Speaker 3: that they're going to flip these bills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear that. It's not fair. Listen,
Speaker 1: we are now dealing. This is not just Mumdani. This
Speaker 1: is the Democratic Radicalized Party. This is Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie.
Speaker 1: This is Pocahontas. This is Mumdanni. This is Graham Platner,
Speaker 1: you know, and he says he's a communist. This is
Speaker 1: the insanity of James tell Rico. This is the insanity
Speaker 1: of els Ed in Michigan running for office. The squad also,
Speaker 1: and then the so called leaders in name only in
Speaker 1: minority leaders. They won't take on these radicals because they
Speaker 1: dare not upset them. They don't want to upset them
Speaker 1: because they know then they the name the moniker of
Speaker 1: quote minority leader will be taken from them and they'll
Speaker 1: probably be pushed out of office themselves. So they care
Speaker 1: more about power than they do about principle, and so
Speaker 1: they dare not criticize even the guy with the Nazi tattoo.
Speaker 2: These people are nuts.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate your time and your good work. Thank
Speaker 1: you for your time, Rosemary Becky. We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: Good luck with maybe finding a solution. I can't give
Speaker 1: you much hope because I don't really see it. Eight
Speaker 1: nine one, Shawn is on number if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm having a little battle adjacent are board of
Speaker 2: I like Jason. Jason, Jason, how long you've been on the.
Speaker 4: Show as the full time guy. It's been fourteen years coming.
Speaker 2: Up on how many years overall?
Speaker 4: God, we first met each other I believe in nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety eight, ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the biggest sports fan on the crew, Well,
Speaker 1: there's two. There's you and Katie, and so I guess
Speaker 1: Game two of the Nick Game is on tonight and
Speaker 1: when I told you off air, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if Katie's in the same spot you are that I
Speaker 1: hope the Knicks lose.
Speaker 2: You were pretty pissed off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not a good look for you.
Speaker 2: Why is that look for me?
Speaker 5: I am a Knick fan.
Speaker 4: So like I told you, if you if you're going
Speaker 4: to root for the Knicks to lose, then you're the enemy.
Speaker 2: I just do it to tweak all my friends.
Speaker 5: Oh, you just hate New York. Just admit it. Like,
Speaker 5: what do you You went from? Is Florida Panthers fan?
Speaker 1: No, I actually was a Rangers fan. But before that
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I was a Philadelphia Flyers fan.
Speaker 1: I love the Broad Street Bullys, I love the I
Speaker 1: love the Florida.
Speaker 2: Panthers hockey team. That's my team. I have season tickets.
Speaker 1: I don't get to go as much as I want,
Speaker 1: but I haven't. Yeah, they won the last to Tampa.
Speaker 1: The Tampa Lightning always puts a good team on the ice.
Speaker 1: But and they won a couple of times, and but
Speaker 1: they're always up there. They always have a good team.
Speaker 1: They put together a good team. Credit I was so
Speaker 1: pissed when Montreal beat them in Game seven. Then I
Speaker 1: was pissed when Montreal won the next series Game seven,
Speaker 1: and then I was so happy.
Speaker 2: Oh Buffalo, they definitely deserved I thought they had it.
Speaker 2: I thought they had it.
Speaker 1: Last night's game was on maybe one of the best
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Final hockey games that I'd ever seen.
Speaker 5: Both games one and two have been outstanding.
Speaker 1: Crazy and it's Vegas versus Carolina, and Carolina was down
Speaker 1: to zero going into the third period. I think there
Speaker 1: were ten minutes in before ten minutes left, and they
Speaker 1: scored three goals in a very short period of time,
Speaker 1: and then with like a minute thirty to go, Vegas
Speaker 1: tied it up and now it's sudden death. But let
Speaker 1: me just add this, Jason, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: remember any of the old Knicks Championships teams.
Speaker 5: It was born when they last won the championship.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, Clyde Fraser.
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking some of the best of the best,
Speaker 1: Earl the Pearl Monroe, Willis Reid at center, Yeah, Dave
Speaker 1: de Busher and Bill Bradley Is as power forwards, great players.
Speaker 1: The crowd used to always look for Wingo to come
Speaker 1: off the bench, and they haven't won in thirty years.
Speaker 5: Oh they haven't.
Speaker 4: They haven't been there since the ninety nine. They haven't
Speaker 4: won it in forty years, Yes, since seventy three.
Speaker 2: Well, I just I.
Speaker 1: Think that's the lineup that it was in seventy three.
Speaker 1: I don't remember for sure. I'm not bad back and off.
Speaker 1: I'm for san Antonio all the way. By the way,
Speaker 1: I think Katie you you're for san Antonio seasoned.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's she's not here.
Speaker 4: She's actually in San Antonio. But yes, he's a big.
Speaker 1: Spurs so she's working remote from San Antonio. She just
Speaker 1: wrote me on the ball screener.
Speaker 4: Yes, she actually attended a Spurs playoff game last round.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you're can afford those. I'd here, like,
Speaker 1: if you want a seat in the rafters at the garden,
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay five grand. That's why Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: scheduled to go tonight apparently. I guess he'll be sitting
Speaker 1: in Dolan's box. Would be my guest Monday, because I
Speaker 1: think he's good. Is he going to I thought he's
Speaker 1: going to game too.
Speaker 5: I didn't hear that.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, no, you're right, he's going. I think
Speaker 1: you're just going Monday. I advised him I said, what
Speaker 1: do you want to go there for? Maybe he's gonna
Speaker 1: be cheering.
Speaker 5: Maybe Dolan invited him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, all right, quick, Frank. We'll get to our
Speaker 1: phones when we come back. Eight hundred nine four one,
Speaker 1: Sean Ard number. If you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program Nity watch, keep in an eye on
Speaker 1: breaking news and bringing it to you first.
Speaker 6: Sean Hannity, all right, back.
Speaker 1: To our busy phones this Friday, eight nine four one,
Speaker 1: Shawn our number, Leon and Michigan.
Speaker 2: Leon, how are you happy Friday?
Speaker 7: Very good, Seawanne. Pleasure to talk to you today. I
Speaker 7: was calling responsible gentleman that you talked to yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 7: was talking about the issue, and I ran, and I've
Speaker 7: been thinking about this for a while, and I think
Speaker 7: that this whole situation where I ran, and we're we're
Speaker 7: putting a lot of emphasis on the costs of gas
Speaker 7: and those kinds of things based on this. But I
Speaker 7: think that I'm at a point where I appreciate the
Speaker 7: fact that that the president has gone after the Iran
Speaker 7: it's long overdue. I'm glad that he's got the cajones
Speaker 7: to do that. But I think we're at a point
Speaker 7: now where we're just kind of like it's kind of
Speaker 7: Obama asked to me. He's drawing the line in the sand,
Speaker 7: and they keep crossing it, and he just keeps moving
Speaker 7: the line. Don't you know, don't be he tells him,
Speaker 7: don't fire on anybody else, or don't don't do this,
Speaker 7: don't do that. They fire missiles at our ships, they
Speaker 7: file fire fire ballistic missiles in Da Kuwait, and we
Speaker 7: tell him, don't do that, don't do that, and and
Speaker 7: the ceasefire is still in existence. To me, it makes
Speaker 7: him look weak.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you, do you have any doubt
Speaker 1: that they're gonna if they keep doing this and they
Speaker 1: don't come to the deal that the President is insisting
Speaker 1: on and deal points have not wavered one bit, if
Speaker 1: they don't get that deal, do you have any doubt
Speaker 1: what Trump's going to do?
Speaker 7: I do at this point because I think, like I said,
Speaker 7: because I think that he's allowed them to get away
Speaker 7: with turning the tables on us a little bit and
Speaker 7: empowering them a little bit with some of the negotiating tactics,
Speaker 7: and I think that, uh, it's the first time that
Speaker 7: they fired on one of our ships. He should have
Speaker 7: just gone after him right then and there, So I'm
Speaker 7: not playing anymore.
Speaker 1: Look, I think the moment of truth is coming. I
Speaker 1: think this is oh that Trump has, you know, a
Speaker 1: certain bandwidth when it comes to patients, and I think, look,
Speaker 1: I personally don't believe you can trust the IRGC and
Speaker 1: as long as they have power and they have the
Speaker 1: right to veto whatever deal has made, or if they
Speaker 1: they get involved in military action, then the outcome will
Speaker 1: be inevitable. I think it's going to be sooner than later.
Speaker 1: Has it gone on longer than I think the President wanted.
Speaker 1: I wanted I expected. Yes, Is this going to be
Speaker 1: a forever war presence?
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 1: I mean we could drop more bunker buster bombs at
Speaker 1: the locations of where the sixty percent enrich uranium is
Speaker 1: and we can just entombent and keep eyes on it,
Speaker 1: and if we see anyone going near it, we'll we'll
Speaker 1: just send people back in and hit them again. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you can protect it. That way probably the
Speaker 1: safer way for our troops, and I probably would recommend
Speaker 1: that over you know, sending them in on the ground
Speaker 1: if they don't have you know, the full cooperation of
Speaker 1: the Iranians and have other outside observers too, So it's
Speaker 1: going to come to an end. There's an election coming up.
Speaker 1: It's just inevitable. I think the world will insist the
Speaker 1: Straight of Hormuz stay open, and I think you might
Speaker 1: even see people that have been somewhat missing in action
Speaker 1: and cowardly and gut list that really rely on the Straight,
Speaker 1: not us, that they're gonna They're gonna end up having
Speaker 1: to deal with with.
Speaker 2: The Iranians themselves.
Speaker 1: But the world is a better, safer place and we're
Speaker 1: not going to burden our children with a nuclear armed
Speaker 1: Islamic fascist regime. So I try to keep that in perspective.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to fault the president for pursuing every
Speaker 1: avenue of peace, and if they choose destruction, that's going
Speaker 1: to be on them, not on him.
Speaker 2: But I hear your concerns. I'm hearing it from a
Speaker 2: lot of people.
Speaker 7: Check out the show twenty four to seven, download it
Speaker 7: to your iPod, be a Hannity Insider at Hannity dot Com.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm actually enjoying.
Speaker 1: I want to go back to what we hit kind
Speaker 1: of at the beginning of the show a little bit.
Speaker 1: The Democrats, they don't know how to deal with Graham Platner,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the accusers of him on this
Speaker 1: on how he treated women's sexual assaulting, is livid because
Speaker 1: apparently they gave the New York Times all this evidence,
Speaker 1: and the New York Times didn't want to print it,
Speaker 1: which makes it sound like they're, you know, running interference.
Speaker 2: Now here's the very interesting part.
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer supporting him, Kirsten Gillibrand is supporting him, Bernie Sanders, Pocahontas.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole bunch of people that have
Speaker 1: now come out and they're going to, at least for now,
Speaker 1: they're going to support this guy. The neo Nazi tattoo
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. The comments about women that are victims of
Speaker 1: sexual assault will stop, you know, getting so effed up
Speaker 1: and drinking so much, and take responsibility. The comments about
Speaker 1: a hero soldier who multiple tours of duty and saved
Speaker 1: many many lives, you know, I wish he was dead,
Speaker 1: and all the other all the other incendiary comments that
Speaker 1: he's aid and now these new allegations anyway, so they're
Speaker 1: all twisted up in pretzels.
Speaker 2: The same with tel Rico.
Speaker 1: How do you deal with the guy that believes in
Speaker 1: six genders, God non binary, wants to welcome mat at
Speaker 1: the border. You know, how do you deal with the
Speaker 1: guy in Texas running for Senate that is running a
Speaker 1: vegan campaign against you know, oil and energy prosperity, which
Speaker 1: is a big part of the economy in Texas. This
Speaker 1: guy's nuts and they keep saying they're going to spend tens,
Speaker 1: if not hundreds of millions of dollars to help tell
Speaker 1: a Rico, good luck with that. I don't think they
Speaker 1: got a shot anyway. So jakeem Jeffries listen to him.
Speaker 1: Regarding Platiner, I will continue to defer to the Leader,
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 8: What would be your advice to House Democrats about whether
Speaker 8: or not they should support Grant Platinir Well.
Speaker 9: Let me say more generally, violence against women in any way,
Speaker 9: shape or form is completely and totally unacceptable, and that
Speaker 9: should be clear to everyone, and everyone needs to draw
Speaker 9: that bright line in the sand. In terms of the
Speaker 9: allegations that have been waged with respect to this particular
Speaker 9: candidate for the Senate, I haven't followed it closely. I
Speaker 9: will continue to defer to Leader Schumer and Senator Jilibrand
Speaker 9: in terms of the best path forward in Maine. I
Speaker 9: haven't had a conversation with Rocanna about this. Listen, John,
Speaker 9: We're focused on trying to take back control of the
Speaker 9: House of Representatives.
Speaker 8: He denies the behavior. We played that sound, but you
Speaker 8: also just said that any violence of women is unacceptable.
Speaker 8: Does that mean if it is in any way proven
Speaker 8: to be true, it should be disqualifying.
Speaker 9: Well, let's cross that bridge when we get to it now.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to take a stand you don't want
Speaker 1: to take. He didn't want to get involved in this
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff show. Here's one of the most interesting people though,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't weigh in AOC squad leader. Frankly, I would
Speaker 1: argue the real minority leader for Democrats in the US House.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: She declines to weigh in on Platinus, says she needs
Speaker 1: more time to read up on him. If it was
Speaker 1: a Republican with a Nazi tattoo, I doubt she'd need
Speaker 1: that time.
Speaker 2: But here's what she said.
Speaker 8: If you're reported by Grim Plattner in this New York
Speaker 8: Times article trapping a woman in a room being.
Speaker 10: Physical, Yeah, I mean, as you all know, this all
Speaker 10: kind of just came out I've been doing legislative business
Speaker 10: on the floor, so I need to dig into everything
Speaker 10: further before commenting on it. Yeah, because I think this
Speaker 10: reporting just recently came out, So I just want to
Speaker 10: make sure that I am fully read up on it
Speaker 10: before I comment on it.
Speaker 7: Generally about Platner, are you concerned by what you've seen
Speaker 7: so far?
Speaker 2: Does he offer voters more?
Speaker 8: Does he need to offer voters more of an explanation?
Speaker 10: I mean, again, I think I have to read up
Speaker 10: on this latest reporting.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: I think everyone when we run for office our responsibilities
Speaker 10: to our constituents and to the people of for me,
Speaker 10: New York fourteen in this case, for the people of Maine.
Speaker 10: So I think a lot of it. Again, I don't
Speaker 10: want to speak before I've dug into a lot of
Speaker 10: you know, to before I've dug into what's out there.
Speaker 10: So I don't want to be respectful of that.
Speaker 1: And then maybe the best answer with Schumer. You see,
Speaker 1: Schumer knows he is leader in name only, just like
Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries. Does they know they have no real power?
Speaker 1: And so Schumer is asked the question at a mini
Speaker 1: presser and five times, we're going to beat Susan Collins
Speaker 1: and take back the Senate.
Speaker 2: No matter what the question is.
Speaker 1: Listen one, Graham Platter, are you satisfiable the respirations he's.
Speaker 7: Given, the controversies his campaign space right hovering concerned about me.
Speaker 12: I met with Graham plattin today. We're going to beat
Speaker 12: Susan Collins take back the center.
Speaker 4: So you're saying that Dana mill is your prefer candidate Brady,
Speaker 4: and she's.
Speaker 5: To get back in you're standing the line of.
Speaker 12: Grand Platt later, We're going to beat Susan and take back.
Speaker 5: Yes, does jumpin sticking clin right? Is that's worth the
Speaker 5: provility and.
Speaker 6: We're gonna take that.
Speaker 12: We're gonna beat Susan Collins and take back any other
Speaker 12: subject you're got any other subjections?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you're right there. He believe that unsustained him.
Speaker 12: We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the
Speaker 12: SA Beast launch team. You have not said if you're
Speaker 12: suing endorsing the Grand Partner, are you still supporting the
Speaker 12: grand Plats as I said, I endorsed Grand Patner. We're
Speaker 12: gonna take back. We're gonna beat Susan Collins and take
Speaker 12: back at the Center.
Speaker 1: Now Schumer is in a different spot. AOC won't take
Speaker 1: a stand. Uh hakeem. Jefferies isn't gonna take a stand,
Speaker 1: and he has to. So he thinks he's clever, he
Speaker 1: thinks he's threading the needle. But let me warn all
Speaker 1: of you, there's gonna be a two week period after
Speaker 1: Platner likely wins this primary next Tuesday, in which Platner,
Speaker 1: of his own volition, he would have to bow out himself,
Speaker 1: and the pressure on him to do such will be enormous,
Speaker 1: I promise you. And if he does bow out, then
Speaker 1: there is another interim period a couple of weeks because
Speaker 1: of this obscure main law that would allow the leaders
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party to do another switch orou like
Speaker 1: Kamala in for Joe. And that's where they're really putting
Speaker 1: all their hope. All of this negative news on Graham
Speaker 1: Platner not coming from the Republicans, is not coming from
Speaker 1: Susan Collins. I promise you, It's all coming from Democrats
Speaker 1: because they're trying to take him out politically before this election,
Speaker 1: because they want to replace him, and they want to
Speaker 1: use that obscure law to do such. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to our busy phones. Let us say hi to
Speaker 1: who's the next year Paul in my free state of Florida.
Speaker 2: Paul, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 6: Sir?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Hi, Sean, thank you for taking my call. I
Speaker 11: really appreciate I've been listening to you for oh my gosh,
Speaker 11: so many years. Thank you and type of Yeah, this
Speaker 11: is a different type of call for us here. You know,
Speaker 11: our family needs your help. There's a whole group of
Speaker 11: people that need your help. My son, who is who's young,
Speaker 11: was diagnosed with als lou Garrick's.
Speaker 2: Disease, just too How old is your son?
Speaker 11: He's twenty eight?
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's not good.
Speaker 11: Yeah, something that you know I should be getting, not him.
Speaker 11: And so he's twenty eight now he's got diagnosed two
Speaker 11: years ago. He and his high school sweetheart were married
Speaker 11: in April of twenty twenty four, and he was diagnosed
Speaker 11: in August of twenty twenty four. And most positive people
Speaker 11: you can meet, they just had a child a month ago,
Speaker 11: a baby girl. And what I'm calling you about again,
Speaker 11: is we really been you know, we've gone to all
Speaker 11: the hospitals, we've gone, you know, for eighty years, Sean.
Speaker 11: You know there's Lugarrick eighty years now and still no answer,
Speaker 11: and I believe the time is right. And that's just
Speaker 11: for my son, for all the people in ALS, this
Speaker 11: whole community that's affected. It's so many people that people
Speaker 11: just lost track of it. And I believe with the
Speaker 11: technology today, with AI, coupled with President Trump, who doesn't
Speaker 11: like it, I think you're one hundred percent right. He
Speaker 11: doesn't like the wars, he doesn't like people dying. There's
Speaker 11: a whole group of people dying right under our noses.
Speaker 11: With everything else that's going on, we have the ability
Speaker 11: together to get this thing solved or at least to
Speaker 11: a point where they figure out something where they can
Speaker 11: maintain people with ALS, slow the progression tremendously. And I
Speaker 11: believe that our president can do this. He's just that
Speaker 11: kind of.
Speaker 1: Guy that well, the President is made dramatic moves as
Speaker 1: it relates to pharmaceuticals Favored Nation status OZ is on
Speaker 1: the front lines of fighting waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, outright stealing.
Speaker 1: They are also allowing the process. You know, a pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: company I know gets you know, demonized, demonized, demonized, but
Speaker 1: before they can get a new medication into the marketplace.
Speaker 1: It costs them a billion or billions of dollars to
Speaker 1: do so, and the odds of them being successful in
Speaker 1: the end are very difficult. They're trying to streamline that process,
Speaker 1: and then of course the president put in place right
Speaker 1: to try. I don't know of any clinical trials that
Speaker 1: now exist for als. I have known people that have
Speaker 1: had it. It's horrible to watch people. I mean, basically,
Speaker 1: they get worse and worse. You never get better. It's degenerative.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that you're son at such a young
Speaker 1: age as going through this. And you know, I will
Speaker 1: ask rfk Jr. Next time I see him. I saw
Speaker 1: him last week or the week before. I'll ask Oz
Speaker 1: when I talked to him. I'll see what about these
Speaker 1: other diseases. I know that there's a lot of similar
Speaker 1: concern about specific cancers. Apparently there's a lot of hope
Speaker 1: on pancreatic cancer that recently came out. My father died
Speaker 1: of pancreatic cancer. So it's hard for me to tell you.
Speaker 1: Just you know, sit tight. But these guys got a
Speaker 1: full plate and they're up at six am at work
Speaker 1: at their desk, and then I'm done until nine o'clock
Speaker 1: at night. This is that's their schedule. So they've got
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of issues that they have
Speaker 1: to deal with. But I'll be glad to mention it
Speaker 1: to them. See if I can find anything out.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've tried so many things to try to gain
Speaker 11: such a President Trump through different channels. And all of
Speaker 11: a sudden it dawned on me because you know, several
Speaker 11: years ago before covid uh Trace Atkins concert, my wife
Speaker 11: you introduced my wife to actually Trace Atkins because she
Speaker 11: was over by the trailer by remember she met you.
Speaker 11: She said, oh my gosh, what a nice guy. And
Speaker 11: then there was another event and and all of a
Speaker 11: sudden dawned on us. How could I get I mean,
Speaker 11: I've been writing letters to different people. I send emails
Speaker 11: of old school. I don't know how else to go
Speaker 11: online and anything else, but I've been sending letters. I
Speaker 11: really believe, I honestly believe that if this could be
Speaker 11: put in front of President Trump, he would be like,
Speaker 11: you know, because we talk about what we talked about
Speaker 11: all the time. You know, if he solved cancer, he
Speaker 11: would still not get recognized. Right, he solves this and
Speaker 11: he works on this. This they couldn't turn their back.
Speaker 11: I mean, he would have to get the Nobel price.
Speaker 1: And listen, it's it's not just als, it is ms,
Speaker 1: it is uh, it is every cancer, it is heart, lung, respiratory,
Speaker 1: it's health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, longevity. It is also on
Speaker 1: top of that, you got to put up one hundred
Speaker 1: plus billion dollars in corruption that they've got to handle
Speaker 1: every day. It is a daunting task. However, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it is on the list because it's a fairly common disease,
Speaker 1: although it's not a high percentage of the population. But
Speaker 1: it is one of the most brutal things to watch
Speaker 1: as a family member. You know, you see people, you know,
Speaker 1: towards the end of this process, if they really if
Speaker 1: it really takes hold, they have a hard time, you know,
Speaker 1: drinking or eating or talking. And it's rough. I've seen
Speaker 1: this up close and personal. It's not fun.
Speaker 11: So my ask is, if you have the opportunity, I.
Speaker 2: Will ask them.
Speaker 11: The answer is yes, you could ask that is to
Speaker 11: be part of this, be part of the story, Sean,
Speaker 11: because I really.
Speaker 1: Believe I don't do it to be a part of
Speaker 1: the story. I do it because I will try to
Speaker 1: get a report. You know what, where is this particular issue?
Speaker 1: I ask guys all the time. We talk all the time.
Speaker 1: All right, God, bless you and your son. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: you're going through that. I'm sorry he's going through that.
Speaker 1: He's too young. Too young.
Speaker 2: When I hear about young people, it always breaks my heart.
