Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being one of those
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. Is there's such a thing as a happy Monday.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I have a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: Linda does. You'll appreciate this. He says, Monday is my
Speaker 1: favorite day of the week. I'm like, why, because I
Speaker 1: just can't wait to get to work. I love what
Speaker 1: I do. I love what I do. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: love what I do too, But I but Monday is
Speaker 1: not my favorite day in the week because that guy
Speaker 1: get back and I got to get racked up and
Speaker 1: you know, I got to get you know, ratcheted up
Speaker 1: and back in the groove because I let my mind,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of simmer down a little bit before,
Speaker 1: you know, over the weekend trying to get back to normal.
Speaker 1: You really can't get back to normal in my view
Speaker 1: unless you have an extended period of time off because
Speaker 1: I don't stop working and I as you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: what times throughout the weekend if you had to go
Speaker 1: through your brain, were you getting text messages for me
Speaker 1: on story ideas and things that I'm interested in and
Speaker 1: things that I want. Sweet baby jay as to print
Speaker 1: out how many times?
Speaker 2: Well it is it Friday busy weekend. In your defense,
Speaker 2: it was very busy and there was a lot of news.
Speaker 3: Is this weekend different than any other weekend? No?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: No, Okay, so there's no reason delineating between weekends because
Speaker 1: they're all the same.
Speaker 4: I was trying to be nice.
Speaker 2: It's Monday. You just got done saying how some people
Speaker 2: are happy to go to work. I figured I might,
Speaker 2: you know, give you a little olive branch there. But
Speaker 2: all right, every weekend it's a tear for you. And
Speaker 2: it starts Friday and it doesn't end.
Speaker 3: It just doesn't.
Speaker 1: And but I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the weird part.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you have you have one speed. There's
Speaker 4: only one speed.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm having a hard time with the idea.
Speaker 1: Is we're running into, well, let's just say, obstacles. If
Speaker 1: I'm to go on this trip to China with President Trump,
Speaker 1: which I've been invited on and it's historic and it's
Speaker 1: on Air Force one, and maybe if the audience wants
Speaker 1: to weigh inland that they can and I will be
Speaker 1: able to cover for televisi. But doing the radio show
Speaker 1: is going to be more problematic. And Linda's take off.
Speaker 1: I just you take off call in.
Speaker 4: Okay, take it easy. That's not exactly.
Speaker 1: Exactly what you've been saying from the very beginning. You
Speaker 1: didn't even what I say was to find alternatives.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: What I said, and I think it's a fair assessment
Speaker 2: is that while it's an incredible experience, given the time
Speaker 2: change of like thirteen hours, it doesn't exactly work with
Speaker 2: doing a live broadcast on radio. However, we could have
Speaker 2: you call in for half an hour and give us
Speaker 2: an update, and then you could go back to bed,
Speaker 2: which we could do at the three point thirty point
Speaker 2: of the show every day, and I think that would
Speaker 2: be very cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's a twelve hour time difference. For example,
Speaker 1: in China right now it's three nine Eastern time. It's
Speaker 1: three oh nine a m. China time. The problem and
Speaker 1: I learned this when I went on the Gulf stage
Speaker 1: trip with but we were able to do radio from there,
Speaker 1: and this this is just a little bit well, it's
Speaker 1: a lot more problematic because we're dealing with top geopolitical foes.
Speaker 1: This was more of a friendly trip. There's just going
Speaker 1: to be very different security measures. But when you travel
Speaker 1: on air Force one. And this is not me bragging.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm there, I'm working. The whole purposes
Speaker 1: is to bring you the context, the texture of what's
Speaker 1: actually going on, and you learn a lot when you're
Speaker 1: on those trips. And then the President included me in
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, which was pretty cool. I got
Speaker 1: to sat I got to sit in on a business
Speaker 1: round table. I had no idea I was sitting there.
Speaker 1: And I just walked in the room with the press
Speaker 1: and they said, no, no, mister Hannity, You're sitting over
Speaker 1: here to the table with the Treasury Secretary, the Secretary
Speaker 1: Hegset and the Energy Secretary and Howard Lutnick and everybody
Speaker 1: in between. And I'm like, oh, okay. And then in
Speaker 1: the middle of the meeting, the President points to me, Sean,
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? It's pretty surreal because
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting it. So there are fun things, and
Speaker 1: then you get to see the behind the scenes, and
Speaker 1: then I get to relay that to all of you,
Speaker 1: and it's an experience that most people won't have.
Speaker 3: But because don't you.
Speaker 2: Agree, don't you agree it would be great for you
Speaker 2: to be able to do that, be able to come on,
Speaker 2: give an update and go back to the trip. It's
Speaker 2: very difficult what you're trying to do. It's very hard.
Speaker 3: You're making it harder because you're so reluctant and resistant.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's do radio every day. I'm all in, let's
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it would be three am.
Speaker 1: But there is there are just to go no, no,
Speaker 1: In fairness, there are logistical issues are whatever time. It
Speaker 1: was a similar time difference when we were in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2: When we were in we had problems and it was,
Speaker 2: you know, it out of our control.
Speaker 4: It was not easy.
Speaker 1: And you're saying, I just not get a call in
Speaker 1: for an hour and you know we'll have a guest host,
Speaker 1: but then and I would be able to pass on
Speaker 1: what's actually going on. It really is an experience. I mean,
Speaker 1: especially with China. When is the next time I'm ever
Speaker 1: going to get to go to China?
Speaker 3: Never? But it's not about me.
Speaker 1: It's more important that I do the show for my audience,
Speaker 1: which is so loyal and I wouldn't be there if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for all of them. And if they don't
Speaker 1: get anything out of it, I feel like I'm letting
Speaker 1: them down. So it's a it's a it just as complicated.
Speaker 1: TV is less. So because of the time difference. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like when we were in Singapore and I
Speaker 1: was doing the TV show at nine am local time,
Speaker 1: remember do you remember, Yeah, and we stayed.
Speaker 2: We went there and we stayed on the clock. But
Speaker 2: I think the difference is for this trip across the
Speaker 2: board is when we went to Singapore, we were not
Speaker 2: traveling with the president. We were traveling as a member
Speaker 2: of the press and covering events.
Speaker 4: This is not that.
Speaker 3: So we went traveling with the press.
Speaker 1: Vietnam, we went to Helsinki, I went on the Gulf
Speaker 1: Stage trip, and then I was invited to go on
Speaker 1: this trip.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: The best part of it is most of the legacy
Speaker 1: media mob has to sit back in steerage and like coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's a twenty hour flight. I mean
Speaker 1: to sit and coach for twenty hours really sucks.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 1: But they don't make me sit with those people because
Speaker 1: they know I don't like them. So I get to
Speaker 1: go back and like grab my camera guy, and then
Speaker 1: we you know, I probably can take interviews for this show,
Speaker 1: interviews for the podcast, interviews with TV. I could probably
Speaker 1: do all of that while I'm on air Force one
Speaker 1: and then just get it to people in time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can take it from you. We can get
Speaker 4: it on the air.
Speaker 1: You just want like three days without me being on
Speaker 1: the air, because that would.
Speaker 4: Be in the air. You're gonna be with you whatever
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: You're just happy. Oh, it's a vacation. It's not like
Speaker 1: a usual day.
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
Speaker 1: That's what you're really taking to say the quiet part
Speaker 1: out loud. Just say it and be honest about it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know me, there is no
Speaker 2: quiet part. Everything is loud. And at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, I'm going to tell you exactly what I think,
Speaker 2: and I think you would agree with me, and you
Speaker 2: probably will in hindsight that this is a wise, pragmatic decision.
Speaker 1: Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was apparently hospitalized
Speaker 1: over the weekend with pneumonia. According to The New York Post. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it did shock a lot of people. They did first
Speaker 1: report it that he was in really bad shape and
Speaker 1: he had a tough weekend and he has pneumonia, which
Speaker 1: is never good when you're what is he eighty one
Speaker 1: years old? Now and anyway, his spokesperson is confirmed that
Speaker 1: the ex mayor is recovering from this pneumonia, being monitored
Speaker 1: as a precautionary measure, but he looks to be on
Speaker 1: the mend. He was in critical condition yesterday. I don't
Speaker 1: believe he's in critical condition now, you know, I know
Speaker 1: people have strong opinions about the mayor, but I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you what this man did on nine to eleven
Speaker 1: oh one. This is the twenty fifth anniversary year, and
Speaker 1: on the day and weeks the subsequent days and weeks
Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. There is a new Rasmuseen poll out
Speaker 1: today that finds a full sixty percent of voters believe
Speaker 1: that negative media coverage of President Trump likely inspired the
Speaker 1: White House Correspondence dinner assassination, including forty one percent to
Speaker 1: say it's very likely. Now, when the guy puts out
Speaker 1: a manifesto and it reads just like the legacy media
Speaker 1: mob and their daily attacks against President Trump, why would
Speaker 1: anyone have any doubt. I have a hard time understanding
Speaker 1: that part. I'm not saying that they are responsible. I'm
Speaker 1: saying their rhetoric is so over the top, and when
Speaker 1: you start dehumanizing people by comparing them to Gestapo agents
Speaker 1: and Nazis and fascists. I mean, you're basically calling them
Speaker 1: murderers and they're not, and all the other horrible things
Speaker 1: that have been said, and knowing that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of sick people out there that are highly influence,
Speaker 1: you can't convince me that it's not insightful. Is it
Speaker 1: anything you could ever probably hold anyone accountable for? No,
Speaker 1: you can't. But it's it's just, you know, at some
Speaker 1: point you would wish or you would hope that better
Speaker 1: angels would prevail in the minds of some of these
Speaker 1: lunatics out there that just I.
Speaker 3: Hate TRI hate him.
Speaker 1: So on Nazi fascists to stop a racist, sexist, homophobes, xenophobe,
Speaker 1: is lamophobed, you know, wants to kill grandma and grandpa. Uh.
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines is done. Did you ever go on Spirit Airlines? No,
Speaker 1: it's a fine, it's it's it's an economy airline. They
Speaker 1: tried to do a merger. The merger was denied by
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. And now now we have a top
Speaker 1: Biden official all but admitting that the Biden Justice Departments
Speaker 1: healed the fate of Spirit Airlines when they rejected that
Speaker 1: merger request and suggested it was the wrong choice. Which
Speaker 1: no kidding and suggested, uh, you know, especially after the
Speaker 1: low cost airlines shut down on Saturday morning, they're not going.
Speaker 3: To open up again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see somebody buying their planes and
Speaker 1: buying their parts, and they're going to do a fire sell.
Speaker 1: But it's still not good. Near At Tandon, who previously
Speaker 1: served as a senior advisor to Biden, wondered whether a
Speaker 1: merger could have prevented massive job losses. Given the news
Speaker 1: about Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people losing
Speaker 1: their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the
Speaker 1: Garland dio j stopping the Jet Blue merger which Spirit,
Speaker 1: was the right call. No, it was not the right call.
Speaker 1: It was stupid. They employed seventeen thousand people and now
Speaker 1: they shut down their operations.
Speaker 3: Not a good idea, pretty dumb. Actually.
Speaker 1: I know there was talk of a possible government ballout.
Speaker 1: I'm not particularly fond of government ballouts myself. Violent anti
Speaker 1: ICE rioters storming a Brooklyn hospital in a bid to
Speaker 1: free a criminal Biden illegal from ice custody. Anti Ice
Speaker 1: mob violently protesting outside of Brooklyn Hospital, rallying in defense
Speaker 1: of this illegal immigrant previously arrested for assault drug possession. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the guy from Nigeria entered the US, you know, during
Speaker 1: the Biden years, was supposed to you know, pack up
Speaker 1: and go home. In February of twenty four, was arrested
Speaker 1: for assault and criminal drug possession, landed on the radar
Speaker 1: of ICE agents who tracked him down on Saturday. During
Speaker 1: his arrest, he refused to comply with the officers lawful
Speaker 1: commands to exit the vehicle and weaponize his vehicle to
Speaker 1: attempt to hit ICE officers. It became you know, physically cooperative,
Speaker 1: attempting uncooperative or combative rather attempting to punch an elbow.
Speaker 1: Ice officers anyway, claimed that he needed medical attention. They
Speaker 1: took him to a medical center and anyway, then the
Speaker 1: illegal refused to comply with staff, throwing himself to the
Speaker 1: floor and screaming like a lunatic. And then ANTIIS protesters
Speaker 1: somehow got win that this guy was taken to the hospital,
Speaker 1: and then a mob of two hundred people showed up
Speaker 1: trying to stop the agents from leaving with the illegal.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is wrong with the crazy left? In
Speaker 1: this country. We have this development and it's pretty big
Speaker 1: out of Iran. We'll spend a lot of time on it.
Speaker 1: In the course of the show today and the President
Speaker 1: put out a truth post that said Iran had taken
Speaker 1: some shots at unrelated nations. With respect to the ship
Speaker 1: movement in the Strait of Hormuz, he said Project Freedom,
Speaker 1: including a South Korean cargo ship. Perhaps it's time for
Speaker 1: South Korea to come and join the mission. We've shot
Speaker 1: down seven small boats or as they like to call them,
Speaker 1: fast boats.
Speaker 3: It's all they have left.
Speaker 1: Other than the South Korean ship, there has been at
Speaker 1: this moment no damage going through the strait. And the
Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Haig said the Chairman of the
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs dan Kin raising Kine, we'll have a news
Speaker 1: conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Look,
Speaker 1: at this point, the combination of Iran's tax a tax
Speaker 1: on UAE, their infrastructure, continue to tax on international shipping.
Speaker 1: The one thing that Scott Bessen has been rightly pointing
Speaker 1: out is we are breaking them.
Speaker 3: I mean, we are.
Speaker 1: Destroying them economically. However, that's going to take a little
Speaker 1: bit more time. When they get to the point that
Speaker 1: they have to cap those oil wells because there's no
Speaker 1: more storage capacity available. I'm at the point now where
Speaker 1: I think, if there's any more, even minor incursions, to
Speaker 1: quote Joe Biden, of any kind against any nation, then
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be embargo plus. And the
Speaker 1: plus is you got to hit the regime. And if
Speaker 1: I had my choice, well, my first targets would be
Speaker 1: the IRGC.
Speaker 3: I'd hit them.
Speaker 1: They've been the most militant, the most loyal to the
Speaker 1: former regime. They have been the most hesitant to do
Speaker 1: a smart deal that would be better for the Iranian people.
Speaker 1: They've been killing the Iranian people. That would be my
Speaker 1: preferred choice of attack. But it's gonna come to an end.
Speaker 1: We know how it's gonna end at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, that you know. I think that the Operation
Speaker 1: Epic Fury, coupled with Operation Epic Fury, the military part
Speaker 1: of it, is probably the perfect combination. And I that
Speaker 1: is now it seems to be inevitable, and that is
Speaker 1: a preview of coming attractions. I don't think there's any
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Iran makes a laughable new demand in
Speaker 1: their latest peace proposal. We'll get to that too. Anyway,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine point one. Shawn is on number.
Speaker 1: This Monday is Joyful Monday. This happy Monday my new
Speaker 1: favorite day of the Luik. My friend Michael says, it's
Speaker 1: my favorite day. I love to get up and go
Speaker 1: to work. I just am so excited about the new week,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at him like nobody thinks this way.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like weekends over. Unfortunately, I'm not sure why I
Speaker 1: feel it. Just my gut instinct is the Iranians are
Speaker 1: going to be stupid, and you're going to see the
Speaker 1: President begin military efforts once again. I just think he's
Speaker 1: given them as much time as humanly possible, and I
Speaker 1: think that the Iranians will foolishly try to get in
Speaker 1: the way of the President and his efforts to keep
Speaker 1: the straight open, and as soon as they do, they
Speaker 1: are going to get hit so hard. The Mulla's mothers
Speaker 1: will feel the vibration wherever they may be.
Speaker 3: We'll continue.
Speaker 1: Be sure to check in as soon as you get
Speaker 1: to your car after work for breaking information you need
Speaker 1: to know about.
Speaker 3: This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: Presidents saying very clearly, okay, he's I've just been sensing
Speaker 1: the moment is coming sooner than later. His patience with
Speaker 1: the Ran is running out, and now it's going to
Speaker 1: be open the streets. Give us the nuclear dust or
Speaker 1: you will be obliterated. I've given you every opportunity for peace,
Speaker 1: and you know, now the Iranians, I just think there's
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you know, it's a close call. Actually,
Speaker 1: are they stupid or are they Have they been so
Speaker 1: indoctrinated into the sick, twisted death cult ideology that maybe
Speaker 1: the they really do believe that if they die, they're
Speaker 1: going to go to heaven and they are going to
Speaker 1: get seventy two virgins. I'm not really sure, but I
Speaker 1: mean they really are stupid, because there's not going to
Speaker 1: be a country left. The President's been trying to preserve
Speaker 1: what he could for the Iranian people. There's ninety plus
Speaker 1: million of them, but they made a slew of outlandish
Speaker 1: new demands to reopen the street of her moves. The
Speaker 1: new proposal made no mention of their nuclear program, and
Speaker 1: it was a fourteen point planned demanding the US lift
Speaker 1: their blockade and sanctions on Iran, withdraw their forces from
Speaker 1: the Middle eas. This is just stupid stuff. That's never
Speaker 1: going to happen. Iranian clerics are starting to turn on
Speaker 1: the hardline Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This is pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: I found this interesting liberal cleric and human rights lawyer
Speaker 1: Motion Romani who argues that those opposing negotiations with Washington
Speaker 1: should be held accountable for the human and material toll
Speaker 1: of this war. And then the hardliners that are for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they are still loyal to the dead regime
Speaker 1: and the next tier of leaders under them and the
Speaker 1: next leaders below them. They're losing this war badly. The
Speaker 1: global balance of power is shifting. I think some other
Speaker 1: losers in this effort are China and Iran. China getting
Speaker 1: fifty plus percent. They loved getting cheap oil from the Iranians.
Speaker 1: So it's now just the clock is ticking. If I
Speaker 1: had to guess, before this weekends our coverage we will
Speaker 1: probably be covering that military action has taken place again.
Speaker 1: The US Navy has already sunk six six Iranian small
Speaker 1: gunboats in the Straight of Horn Moves, and according to
Speaker 1: the New York Times, even the small Iranian gunboats carrying
Speaker 1: heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, sometimes anti ship missiles. But
Speaker 1: Sencom Commander Bradley Cooper. Admiral Bradley Cooper said in a
Speaker 1: press call with reporters that Iran historically has deployed between
Speaker 1: twenty and forty small boats. Today we saw just six
Speaker 1: and eliminated all of them quickly. And once they see
Speaker 1: that that's not happening, and you know, once they get
Speaker 1: to the point where they have to cap those oil wells,
Speaker 1: which is the bulk of their economy, they're in deep trouble,
Speaker 1: you know. And Scott Bessen is vowing. He says it's
Speaker 1: only going to be a matter of weeks and that
Speaker 1: high gas prices will come down very quickly, which I
Speaker 1: agree with. One US flagged merchant ship safely was able
Speaker 1: to transit the Straight of Horror moves, while Sincom denies that,
Speaker 1: you know, the Iranian report that they hit in American warship,
Speaker 1: they did not.
Speaker 3: They just lie.
Speaker 1: Propaganda is their way of life. Trumpet calls it Project freedom.
Speaker 1: Escorting the ships through the Straight of Horror moves. There
Speaker 1: is obviously certain risk with any military effort, and if
Speaker 1: the Iranians think they're going to get cute by half,
Speaker 1: I can tell you right now they they if they
Speaker 1: try to attack one US ship. It's it's going to
Speaker 1: be raining hell on Iran. It's not even going to
Speaker 1: be a close call, and there won't be any discussion.
Speaker 1: There's not going to be a long meeting, and the
Speaker 1: plan is already in place and it will be launched instantaneously. Now,
Speaker 1: the Iranians did attack Dubai in this and they're renewed hostilities,
Speaker 1: They're angry at their neighbors. The neighbors are going to
Speaker 1: survive just fine, and they're going to build new paths
Speaker 1: moving forward in the future so that Iran can never
Speaker 1: never have any impact at all moving forward. In all
Speaker 1: of this, the President has teased that the US will
Speaker 1: be taking over Cuba almost immediately. Said this in a
Speaker 1: speech in Florida over the weekend. And I think where
Speaker 1: to say this. I think it was in West Palm
Speaker 1: Beach when he gave this speech. Anyway, he says, and
Speaker 1: he was talking about Representative Dan Micah, talking about Mark
Speaker 1: or Rubio, that they came from a place called Cuba,
Speaker 1: and we will be taking over almost immediately. Those negotiations
Speaker 1: have been ongoing, albeit quietly, for a long time, and
Speaker 1: which by the way, is only going to be good
Speaker 1: for the uranium for the Cuban people. You know what's
Speaker 1: interesting about that, Linda. You know, Cuba is so poor,
Speaker 1: they have been keeping alive these these old you know,
Speaker 1: like nineteen forties, fifties, sixties Chevy Chevy cars. I don't
Speaker 1: know how they keep those cars on the road, but
Speaker 1: there's a ton of them. I guarantee you Americans are
Speaker 1: going to go in there and buy up those cars
Speaker 1: left right and sideways. People love old cars at home.
Speaker 2: They can't track it. It's incredible. There's no electronics, no computers,
Speaker 2: nobody watching every movie you make. I would love one
Speaker 2: of those cars.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: You know I always thought that I wanted an older car.
Speaker 1: I always thought I wanted a Chevelle Supersport, and then
Speaker 1: I drove an older Chevelle Supersport. There's two different models,
Speaker 1: the square model, which I think went up to nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty nine somewhere in there, and the more the more
Speaker 1: oval version, which was like seventy one. I mean, this
Speaker 1: thing had like four hundred and fifty four cubic engine.
Speaker 1: It was a kick ass car, I mean, and it
Speaker 1: was called the Chabelle Supersport. And I always thought I
Speaker 1: wanted one, and then I drove one and it drives
Speaker 1: like crap compared to a modern day car. And now
Speaker 1: that I have my s plaid and I never thought
Speaker 1: i'd want an electric car in my life. And I
Speaker 1: didn't get it for any other reason. I just hated
Speaker 1: what they were doing an Elon musk at the time,
Speaker 1: and we gave one away here on this show, and
Speaker 1: then I bought one for myself. It is the greatest
Speaker 1: muscle car I've ever driven. It has onenty twenty four
Speaker 1: horse power zero to sixty one point nine seconds. You
Speaker 1: just charge it up when you're bringing car home. I
Speaker 1: don't drive long distances anyway. Do you drive long distances?
Speaker 3: You do? Sometimes I do something.
Speaker 4: For the kids games and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not into driving long distance.
Speaker 3: I just hate it.
Speaker 2: But I would be perfectly content driving law distances in
Speaker 2: an older car and just taking my time.
Speaker 4: I really would.
Speaker 3: Okay, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1: When Liam says, Mom, I'm really hungry, and the only
Speaker 1: place you can stop at is like McDonald's Burger King
Speaker 1: or Wendy's.
Speaker 2: Chance meets the prepared mind. I always have snacks and
Speaker 2: juice in the car. I'm a regular monk.
Speaker 3: I't snacks that you're going to torture your child, but
Speaker 3: that he's not gonna.
Speaker 2: Like I have terrible snacks in my car when we travel.
Speaker 2: Kids don't want healthy snacks in the car.
Speaker 4: I know that.
Speaker 3: What do you all right? So what are your snacks?
Speaker 2: Pop tarts, brownies, cookies, pop tarts? He loves pop tarts.
Speaker 2: If I don't have pop tarts, there's going to be
Speaker 2: a problem in this house. And I know there's I
Speaker 2: used to like.
Speaker 1: I used to like the blueberry pop tarts with the
Speaker 1: the icing on the front.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he's But he gets strawberry.
Speaker 3: He likes blueberry too.
Speaker 4: He likes strawberry. He likes blueberry.
Speaker 3: If he lived with me, he'd come back to you
Speaker 3: a whole different kid.
Speaker 2: You guys would both be fat if he's sent arounding
Speaker 2: French fries and pop tarts.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I don't you know what I eat.
Speaker 3: I eat very clean.
Speaker 2: Well, when you get a ten year old in your
Speaker 2: house who likes to eat all the same bad junk
Speaker 2: food you like to eat, then it gets weird.
Speaker 1: Oh, I only eat junk food when I'm on the road.
Speaker 1: That's the only time that is true.
Speaker 4: That is true, And.
Speaker 1: And that's like I'm on the road, okay, and I
Speaker 1: get cravings when I'm on the road.
Speaker 3: I can't help it.
Speaker 1: It's the one time it's called exhaustion. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that does play a role in it. Traveling does
Speaker 1: knock you, It does knock you out.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Did you see this interview with.
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper fake Jake and Barney Frank And I guess
Speaker 1: Barney Frank is in hospice.
Speaker 3: And it was a little weird. Yeah, was that not.
Speaker 1: The strangest interview? If I if I look like that,
Speaker 1: somebody wants to interview me and I'm not. I wish
Speaker 1: him well. I mean, he's at the end of his life.
Speaker 1: I have no more political differences. I pray, you know,
Speaker 1: I pray for him and family. I don't say bad
Speaker 1: things about dead people or people that are dying. I
Speaker 1: just it's not in me to do that. It's not
Speaker 1: a Christian thing to do. And anyway, so he was
Speaker 1: giving advice to the Democratic Party, warning that this swing
Speaker 1: too far to the left, which is interesting because he
Speaker 1: was probably one of the leaders of the far left
Speaker 1: movement of the Democratic Party. But I thought that that
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. But I just don't if I look
Speaker 1: like that, and I'm in hospice. Anybody that look is
Speaker 1: in hospice is not going to look their best. I
Speaker 1: think maybe at that time I'm done talking. I think
Speaker 1: at that point I want to be remembered for being
Speaker 1: more vibrant in my life, or make a recording.
Speaker 4: And leave out the video. I didn't know why the
Speaker 4: video is necessary.
Speaker 1: It really wasn't, but it was kind of heartbreaking. I
Speaker 1: don't want to see people dying. I just don't. And
Speaker 1: then the you know, you know what the worst part
Speaker 1: and this is like with Irish weddings, and I hate
Speaker 1: that part too.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Irish funerals not weddings is I could never understand. And
Speaker 1: ever since I was a little kid, they'd have these
Speaker 1: three day wakes where the dead body, you know, they
Speaker 1: have an open casket and you just and and people
Speaker 1: act weird during wakes, I've come to find out. And
Speaker 1: by the way, it doesn't mean anything. You can't interpret
Speaker 1: people's reaction to a death. In one corner you have
Speaker 1: a group of people just laughing their ass off at
Speaker 1: an Irish wake, and the other corner you have people
Speaker 1: like sipping whiskey and just you know, charging up and
Speaker 1: having a great time. You got another group of people crying.
Speaker 1: Then you have the weird group of people that go
Speaker 1: up to the dead body, touch the dead body, kiss
Speaker 1: the dead body. Is like, okay, that freaks me out.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't end after like two hours. It goes
Speaker 1: on for three straight days, a day session, in an
Speaker 1: evening session.
Speaker 4: In three day sessions.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no, no, I mean, I'm doing it
Speaker 1: all in and it's going to be a close casket.
Speaker 3: Remember me for what I was like alive.
Speaker 1: That's why if I you know, if I ever got
Speaker 1: a terminal illness, I'm disappearing. And my kids said, you
Speaker 1: can't do that. I'm like, yeah, I'm doing it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I I'll I'm just I want to be remembered as
Speaker 1: I was alive, and I want to be remembered as
Speaker 1: I am in the last moments of my life, you know.
Speaker 1: And then I get into arguments with everybody because they say, well,
Speaker 1: you're denying them the opportunity to love you. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they can love me from a distance, they can call
Speaker 1: me on the phone. I'll talk to them on the phone.
Speaker 1: And they say, well, that's very selfish of you. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's selfish. You know, I'll put away enough
Speaker 1: money that I'm not going to be a financial burden
Speaker 1: on anybody, and I'm going to I'm not going to
Speaker 1: go to a dump. I'm going to go to a
Speaker 1: nice place where they have people that can take care
Speaker 1: of me. And then I don't want to be a
Speaker 1: burden on other people. I want them to go live
Speaker 1: their lives and not be worried about me. You know
Speaker 1: when I'm about to broke. This is a very morbid conversation.
Speaker 3: Isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a far far cry from pop tarts. I'll
Speaker 4: tell you what. We took a real big pivot.
Speaker 1: She took a little detour. Do you not agree that
Speaker 1: there's some wisdom behind what I'm saying? Oh?
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I don't want any of that crap.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna die, i'd probably like to
Speaker 1: see you one more time before you look terrible.
Speaker 4: I think it was nice to have goodbyes. I had
Speaker 4: a really good friend job.
Speaker 3: I would like to have us with cancer.
Speaker 4: And she did that.
Speaker 2: She made it.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you we would laugh. Gohead, tell me about
Speaker 1: your friend with cancer.
Speaker 4: No same thing.
Speaker 2: She did that. She went and had lunch with everybody.
Speaker 2: She had terminal cancer. She wasn't gonna make it. She'd
Speaker 2: seen a gajillion specialist, she had lunch, she came to
Speaker 2: my house. We sat out in my backyard for four hours,
Speaker 2: and it was the last time I saw her.
Speaker 3: And she didn't want to be seen by anybody.
Speaker 1: Nope, she was Okay, then, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: seen when you know, I'm at the point that I
Speaker 1: need nurses to clean me and put you know, these
Speaker 1: suction tubes down my throat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard work.
Speaker 3: Our boy, build.
Speaker 1: Up muscle mass is my best advice for everybody.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I had a discussion with somebody who's not in very
Speaker 1: good shape, and he goes, I don't know how you
Speaker 1: do this every day? How do you work out every day?
Speaker 1: I'm I because I said I don't love it every day.
Speaker 1: I said, I make myself do it every day. And
Speaker 1: he goes, so on, I don't think I could do
Speaker 1: five push ups. I probably couldn't even do three. I said,
Speaker 1: that's okay, start right now. Why don't you do one,
Speaker 1: one really good push up, and then tomorrow try to
Speaker 1: do two. And if he can't, don't beat yourself up.
Speaker 1: Just every day, do a push up until you get
Speaker 1: to two push ups. Then you work to three push ups,
Speaker 1: then you work to you know, if you can only
Speaker 1: do one sit up, then you work to ten sit
Speaker 1: ups and then you know. It's if you lift weights.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you lift two pounds like Obama,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Just do a little bit every day.
Speaker 1: If you don't, if you can do one exercise, probably
Speaker 1: the healthiest thing you can do is go for a
Speaker 1: walk and put in your tenth and steps a day.
Speaker 1: Just do something and people just they give up. They
Speaker 1: don't do anything and then they eat. You know, they're
Speaker 1: bored and they can you think anything worse in life
Speaker 1: of not waking up and not having anything to do
Speaker 1: all day.
Speaker 3: I know people like that. That was like, like, you have.
Speaker 4: To do your read you love doing those. You live
Speaker 4: forgetting up and doing those.
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, my Senator Rick Scott
Speaker 1: will be with us on the other side.
Speaker 3: Your calls coming up. Eight hundred and nine point one.
Speaker 3: Shawn
