Speaker 1: An Hour two. Sean Hannity showed this Friday, eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine four one. Shawn is on number. You want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Always a privilege
Speaker 1: to welcome back to the program. Former Speaker of the House,
Speaker 1: New King Rich Mister Speaker has a new book soon
Speaker 1: to be released. It's called Trump's Triumph that talks about
Speaker 1: changing the nation, the world and their President Trump. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of focusing in on the shock and
Speaker 1: awe aspect and all the reverberations surrounding Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: this week the milestone of one hundred days and the
Speaker 1: left going insane and crazy and absolutely they are the
Speaker 1: nuts party, and more importantly, how the president has taken
Speaker 1: on the institutionalist mindset and he looks at everything anew
Speaker 1: and that is shocking to people. And it's not shocking
Speaker 1: to people like yourself, because you, in your way did
Speaker 1: it in a major way actually when you were a
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. But it took some used to
Speaker 1: Before you even became speaker, they were saying you're the
Speaker 1: screwge that stole Christmas.
Speaker 2: Well, before we jump into that, I.
Speaker 1: Just reminding you of the fond memories of yesterday here.
Speaker 2: Well, we still are the only people to balance the
Speaker 2: budget for four years and literally one hundred last century
Speaker 2: in one hundred years. So I'm pretty proud of that.
Speaker 2: And now we have a chance to travel. But I'm
Speaker 2: not letting you get off of last night. I thought
Speaker 2: you putting, first of off, putting President Trump in a
Speaker 2: great speech at Alabama, and then pivoting immediately to Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris looking lonely, pathetic, confused. I thought that was as
Speaker 2: cruel as anything I talked. I talked to the President
Speaker 2: later on because I thought his speech was historic and extraordinary.
Speaker 2: I told him, I thought what you did was really mean?
Speaker 1: What was mean about it?
Speaker 2: Because she's perfect. Look just by herself, she's pathetic. Would
Speaker 2: you put her up next to Trump?
Speaker 1: Kind of by design? If you know, I actually think
Speaker 1: through these things. And I thought it was a perfect transition.
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you remember, I stopped at one
Speaker 1: point and I said, I need to, as a public service,
Speaker 1: thank each and every one of you for going out
Speaker 1: and working so hard and voting in this election to
Speaker 1: save us from that.
Speaker 2: Oh I know, and I tell you that was as
Speaker 2: bad as I've ever seen her.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so I don't know what was worse,
Speaker 1: the giggling, the elephants story, or the dancing.
Speaker 2: Or just or just the look on her face. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, she's something. I think she cannot
Speaker 2: come to grips with having lost, and so she's now
Speaker 2: living in a total fantasy world.
Speaker 1: Anyway, But isn't that the case for most people? Haven't
Speaker 1: everyone we learned that yet? No? No, I mean, isn't
Speaker 1: it the regular practice. Though somebody runs for president, they
Speaker 1: all believe they're going to win. That's what I've learned. Sure,
Speaker 1: and they they and and some people a lot of
Speaker 1: people we've seen in our lifetime. Hillary Clinton would be one.
Speaker 1: I'd argue John McCain was never the same after he lost.
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney was never the same after he lost. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can go down the list and people lose and
Speaker 1: then they lose their minds.
Speaker 2: That's true, and maybe that's what's happened to her, which, frankly,
Speaker 2: considering how little she had to lose, is not as
Speaker 2: big a loss as it could have been. Because but
Speaker 2: I just thought it was remarkable, and by the way,
Speaker 2: I went back, I got so intrigued after the show.
Speaker 2: I went back and got the transcript. I think there's
Speaker 2: a section towards the end where Trump goes through ten
Speaker 2: lessons of life that he has learned that I think
Speaker 2: is so remarkable that I'm encouraging the administration to find
Speaker 2: ways to get a distributed I mean, it is the
Speaker 2: essence of an intelligent, serious conservatism at a personal level.
Speaker 1: And it's funny of bringing all this up because I
Speaker 1: watched I had never watched a long documentary about him,
Speaker 1: and I saw one. Maybe it was on Netflix or Apple,
Speaker 1: I don't remember, and I just watched it and I
Speaker 1: said to him in a private conversation, and I don't
Speaker 1: mind sharing it with you. I'm sure he wouldn't care
Speaker 1: that what a remarkable life this man has lived. And
Speaker 1: I know the four hardest years. I mean, he could
Speaker 1: have walked away in twenty twenty one and just said
Speaker 1: I became president and gone on him with the rest
Speaker 1: of his life, and probably they would have left him
Speaker 1: alone as my guest. And he decided to fight back,
Speaker 1: and he made it his mission, and he put all
Speaker 1: his chips in the middle of the table, and it
Speaker 1: was either the White House or frankly, in my view
Speaker 1: of the Big House, there was nowhere in between, and
Speaker 1: he laid it on the line for his country, for
Speaker 1: what he believed in, and just being the fighter that
Speaker 1: he is. And that's what the shock and awe that
Speaker 1: we see politically every day.
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, and what I was impressed with. I
Speaker 2: put myself in the place of this young pe people
Speaker 2: at that commencement speech. And here's the guy who is
Speaker 2: a billionaire, who is the PRESUNDENTI states, who has survived
Speaker 2: assassination attempts, impeachment attempts, efforts to put him in jail,
Speaker 2: and he is literally at one point in the speech
Speaker 2: sharing and it's very effective. I mean I've literally spent
Speaker 2: part of the morning going over and thinking about it,
Speaker 2: sharing ten lessons about life that he had learned that
Speaker 2: he wanted them to learn. And it was a reminder
Speaker 2: to me that Trump is much more a cultural figure
Speaker 2: with political consequences than he is a traditional political figure.
Speaker 2: The reason he resonates is he speaks to the very
Speaker 2: core of American values, to the work ethic, to a
Speaker 2: belief in a better future, to a willingness to do
Speaker 2: what it takes to win. I mean, it is truly
Speaker 2: and I heard all of our listeners to just get
Speaker 2: that one section, which I'm going to post it at
Speaker 2: the English three sixty because I think it's so.
Speaker 1: From you know what, In many ways, I see a
Speaker 1: lot of similarities in you. I remember one speech you
Speaker 1: gave I am a genuine revolutionary, you know, the speech
Speaker 1: that I'm referring to. Yeah, and the way that people
Speaker 1: took that the wrong way. But you know, if there
Speaker 1: was three waves of conservatism in our lifetime, culminating in
Speaker 1: the MAGA movement or Make America Great Again movement, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was Reagan, it was the Gingrich Revolution, and this
Speaker 1: is now somebody that is literally taking a chainsaw to
Speaker 1: the conventional thinking in Washington, which I think is beyond
Speaker 1: refreshing to me, which is why the leftists lost their
Speaker 1: mind in this spirit and frankly they've become, my view,
Speaker 1: have become a soloist party.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's right, and you're going to see this.
Speaker 2: You don't hear me talk about this a lot in
Speaker 2: the next six weeks. Republic The Republican Plan on Medicaid
Speaker 2: raises spending every year that never cuts it. The Democrats
Speaker 2: are going to back to your point by having no
Speaker 2: soul Democrats as a strategy, are going to lie to
Speaker 2: the American people every day, and I think it's a
Speaker 2: trap for them. I think when the American people realize
Speaker 2: and we just did a poll at the American's New
Speaker 2: Majority Project that we run, and when people are told
Speaker 2: the facts, only fourteen percent think that in a way
Speaker 2: of cut. Everybody else is totally happy with it, believes
Speaker 2: it's a fair thing to do. And this is an
Speaker 2: example where Trump is going to be I think extraordinarily
Speaker 2: important and I'm hoping that he'll go on the road
Speaker 2: and go go ten at least ten districts held by
Speaker 2: Democrats where he had a majority of the vote and
Speaker 2: explain exactly what's going to be in the reconciliation bill
Speaker 2: and why you should vote yes. And I think it'll
Speaker 2: be one of the great moments in American history because
Speaker 2: the country will rally and the country will say, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is the kind of change we need. And the
Speaker 2: Democrats that interfaced with either crumbling and doing what Trump
Speaker 2: wants or I think, basically put themselves in a long
Speaker 2: term decline as a dishonest, corrupt party that votes for
Speaker 2: things that just can't explain.
Speaker 1: You see, but the reason you're so knowledgeable about this,
Speaker 1: and I lived this with you and watched it all unfold.
Speaker 1: When you reduced it's called baseline budgeting, built in spending increases.
Speaker 1: That that's the establishment thinking process, where you budget in
Speaker 1: a ten percent increase every year for however many years,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you insisted on a seven percent
Speaker 1: increase every year for seven years, and they were calling
Speaker 1: it a cut. It was not a cut. It was
Speaker 1: a seven percent increase every year. Those are the exact
Speaker 1: numbers that we were debating back then, and the exact
Speaker 1: same lies that Trump will deal with that you had to.
Speaker 2: Deal with, you know, the one thing I give him
Speaker 2: credit for, though I wasn't fine enough to couple the
Speaker 2: idea of fake as a way of just describing all
Speaker 2: of it. So I've said recently, the last three bastions
Speaker 2: of opposing Trump are the fake news media, the fake
Speaker 2: district judges, and the fake CBO. And fake CBO is
Speaker 2: going to produce a fake score, and we need to
Speaker 2: deal with it that way. We need to say that
Speaker 2: people upfront, this is part of the corruption. You're tired of.
Speaker 2: These people lie to you because they want your money.
Speaker 2: I wrote a piece of the day on the movie
Speaker 2: Jerry maguire where the football player.
Speaker 1: Has shown me the money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, you want to know what the heart
Speaker 2: of the fight over reconciliation is going to be. It's
Speaker 2: going to be every interest group saying show me the money.
Speaker 2: There no policies, no sense.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, you know who is resisting
Speaker 1: now the most Republican lawmakers in California and New York
Speaker 1: because they want salt deduction, state and local taxes deducted,
Speaker 1: and how much that they ought to be able to
Speaker 1: deduct every year, which to me only rewards states that
Speaker 1: elect tax and spend liberal local politicians. I know why
Speaker 1: they're doing it, because it seems like they're bringing the
Speaker 1: bacon back to the district.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I Look, when you're when you're in
Speaker 2: the very marginal district, in your anxiety written you try
Speaker 2: to figure out how to appea these people. But in
Speaker 2: the long run you're better off to win the argument.
Speaker 2: This will be a good bill California. By the way,
Speaker 2: as a state legislator, just this week, a Democrat who
Speaker 2: proposed that the first twenty five thousand dollars you steel
Speaker 2: in welfare should not be considered a crime.
Speaker 1: In this the bill you got to be kidding. And
Speaker 1: by the way, you know what they took out of
Speaker 1: that bill. There was this one bill if somebody's assaulted,
Speaker 1: it would be a misdemeanor. It's against a woman I
Speaker 1: believe sixteen or seventeen years old. Off I'm not mistaken
Speaker 1: that they put that in the bill.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know. I mean the California Democrats, I think
Speaker 2: are the epitome of having lost their minds.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you. Do you think Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 1: I think Do you agree with me? I think he
Speaker 1: has his eyes on the White House. Do you think
Speaker 1: he has any shot?
Speaker 2: Oh? Look, this is a free country. Everybody has a shot.
Speaker 2: I mean, there were sixteen guys that got on the
Speaker 2: stage with Donald Trump. They all had a shot. They
Speaker 2: just didn't get to win. Do I think Newsom will
Speaker 2: be the next president? No? I think when people learn
Speaker 2: how really sick California has become, how many people are
Speaker 2: leaving it because they just can't stand it, and how
Speaker 2: much Nuissemus part of the San Francisco mafia. These guys
Speaker 2: are a corrupt, old machine of huge amounts of money,
Speaker 2: and they're so far to the left that they probably
Speaker 2: wonder you know why people at Gorbashaw were so moderate?
Speaker 1: All right? Quick break right back, more with former Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House New King Rich on the other side
Speaker 1: than your calls coming up eight hundred and nine four
Speaker 1: one Sean. If you want to join.
Speaker 3: Us, transmit into over seven hundred radio stations.

Speaker 1: or adorable, high quality American flag that truly honors the day,
Speaker 1: one that was hand sown right here in America in Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, by true patriots that loved this country. That's right.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Allegiance Flag supply and I'll be flying
Speaker 1: my Allegiance flag and you still have time to get
Speaker 1: yours before Memorial Day. Now, this is truly a flag
Speaker 1: to be revered, a flag that you can be proud of.
Speaker 1: It's also a great gift for a military member in
Speaker 1: your family or a great Father's Day gift, which is
Speaker 1: also right around the corner. The only way you can
Speaker 1: get one is at show Allegiance dot com. One word

Speaker 1: Go to their website one word show allegiance dot com
Speaker 1: use the promo code Hannity for American flags that are
Speaker 1: made the American way. I have to continued, Former Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House, New Gingrich is with us. So I'm
Speaker 1: asking everybody questions only because I just just at a
Speaker 1: pure interest. If you had the guest today, who's going
Speaker 1: to be the Democrats nominee in twenty.
Speaker 2: Eight I have no idea. I think I think it
Speaker 2: will be probably an unknown person.
Speaker 1: You really do it may.
Speaker 2: Well be a billionaire who comes out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Do you see any path for a moderate let's say
Speaker 1: it Joshapiro to get the nomination, because I don't.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well there's a path, but it'll be tough.
Speaker 2: I read Pritsker's speech in New Hampshire. Now, Prisko is
Speaker 2: rich enough that if he wants to run, he can
Speaker 2: fund the whole thing. Now, he's also I think a
Speaker 2: terrible governor. He's a left wing earned not a very
Speaker 2: attractive personality, but there's so many people like that. Out there,
Speaker 2: and I don't think we know yet. If trump Ism
Speaker 2: is working, if the economy, which I think it will be,
Speaker 2: if the economy is booming, if we really are healthier, safer,
Speaker 2: and people feel good about it. The Democrats will be
Speaker 2: in turmodel because some of them will rationally say, shouldn't
Speaker 2: we kind of go towards the center, But their hard
Speaker 2: left is going to say no. You know, you have
Speaker 2: to be of the true faith, you have to be
Speaker 2: for things that are insane if you're not, which is
Speaker 2: the whole story of the California Republic Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: Democratic primary voters tend to be leaning towards the more
Speaker 1: radical left, don't you agree?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I think you get the excitement and
Speaker 2: the turnout with the Bernie Sanders AOC, you know, and
Speaker 2: and and you know. I mean to be fair Newsome
Speaker 2: if if he starts with California, he has a pretty
Speaker 2: big block to start with. But I personally find Newsome
Speaker 2: not convincing. I mean, he is so plastic. That might
Speaker 2: just be my bias because I'm come from a different
Speaker 2: brand of politics, but I mean, I frankly think that
Speaker 2: that the governor of Michigan is much more dangerous. So
Speaker 2: the governor of Pennsylvania are both much more dangerous than
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 1: But again, you know, where's the energy in the party,
Speaker 1: the energies towards AOC, Bernie and Jazz and Crockett.
Speaker 2: That's right. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go over the ten things that you're
Speaker 1: going to post on Gingridge three sixty and we'll link
Speaker 1: to yours when you put it up on Hannity dot com.
Speaker 1: Mister speaker, we always enjoy having you. I first interviewed
Speaker 1: Nuke Gingridge in nineteen ninety in Decatur, Alabama, in a
Speaker 1: holiday in hotel room. And there is a picture somewhere
Speaker 1: I don't know where, but there is one I have,
Speaker 1: and I have a renewing American civilization. What do you
Speaker 1: call those tapes? The vhas tapes? I have those for
Speaker 1: you that I promised I have to get a mailed
Speaker 1: out to you.
Speaker 2: The American civilization was it's the course, I thought, and
Speaker 2: then it is.
Speaker 1: It's been. I went back and watched it. I ordered
Speaker 1: it on like eBay years ago, and then I kept it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fair to say I got to
Speaker 2: be a much more competent politician, and you got to
Speaker 2: be a much more confident radio host. But boy, I
Speaker 2: would love to have that original interview of the two
Speaker 2: of us.
Speaker 1: I would I would rather never hear it as long
Speaker 1: as I live. I really don't want to go by.
Speaker 1: I can't stand listening to old shows of mine. I
Speaker 1: hate it. I hate I hate watching myself or listening
Speaker 1: to myself. It's awful, it's torture. You want to torture me,
Speaker 1: just play tapes of me around the clock.
Speaker 2: That's something absurd. I sort of fell in love with
Speaker 2: you because your pure guts. You didn't you didn't know
Speaker 2: a lot of that, but by God, you were gonna try.
Speaker 2: And I just thought that is exactly what we need.
Speaker 2: And when you see this stuff from Trump, you'll see
Speaker 2: yourself hard.
Speaker 1: No, okay, I'm gonna go over that one at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, New Gingrich. We appreciate it as always,
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Speaker 1: All right, what are you whispering in my ear? Go
Speaker 1: to lines one and two. Okay, lines one and two.
Speaker 1: Blake is in Texas, God bless Texas. Lida is in Nebraska.
Speaker 1: Blake and Lynn, welcome to the program, And Linda says,
Speaker 1: europe First I'm not sure why welcome both of.
Speaker 4: You, Nasis Sanity and mister Hannity.
Speaker 2: How you doing, sir?
Speaker 1: I'm good? Who is this Lenner?
Speaker 2: As?
Speaker 1: This Blake?
Speaker 4: This is laying his daddy?
Speaker 1: Okay? Oh your your Blake's father. Terrific? Okay, Blake, how
Speaker 1: are you doing? You're God bless Texas and Nebraska as well.
Speaker 1: What's going on in Texas?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Not much, Just trying to survive the rain. We've got
Speaker 5: about twelve and a half inches over the last two weeks,
Speaker 5: and trying to fix senses and keep cows in the
Speaker 5: pasture but to creaksuck to keep washing them away.
Speaker 1: Now do you do you? Are you a farmer? What
Speaker 1: do you do for a living?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 5: I'm a full time ranch hand, so you know, there's
Speaker 5: about eight thousand acres and stuff where I work at
Speaker 5: and trying to take care of all these cows and
Speaker 5: horses and everything, and so.
Speaker 1: You're living like the Yellowstone life, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: when I'm having a bad day, I'm thinking maybe working
Speaker 1: a ranch wouldn't be such a bad deal.
Speaker 5: Well, it comes in and you know it's good and
Speaker 5: it's bad days. You know, some days or worse than others.
Speaker 5: But you know, we like to see the rain because
Speaker 5: we've had We've had lunch without rain, and that's worse
Speaker 5: than it being flooded. So I'll take high waters over
Speaker 5: low waters at oy of the week.
Speaker 1: No, I get it. I mean it's it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're farming. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you're ranching. But I'm grateful to farmers and ranchers and
Speaker 1: truckers because they keep our store shelves full and I
Speaker 1: get to go on Instacart or go to the store
Speaker 1: and pick out whatever I want. And you know, I
Speaker 1: just ordered a bunch of steaks yesterday New York Strip
Speaker 1: and had one for breakfast this morning with my eggs.
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me say them steaks. There's a lot into
Speaker 5: making them things. I'll kid I say that it takes
Speaker 5: a pretty long process and the tedious process. I should say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lynn, what's going on with you in Nebraska? Is
Speaker 1: this like your way of communicating? You got to call
Speaker 1: the show together to communicate with each other if I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, oh, mister Hannity, I spoke with years ago.
Speaker 4: I was one that got laid off on the Keystone
Speaker 4: Xcel pipeline and Biden ham strained us about four years.
Speaker 4: And this boy the talk to here. You you give
Speaker 4: him ten thousand dollars one time, and I just want
Speaker 4: to tell you, from the bottom of my heart, from
Speaker 4: a wonderful, pleasing father of a good son, thank you
Speaker 4: very much because it did go straight to his college
Speaker 4: and he is graduating to be a Texas State game warden.
Speaker 1: No way, I wish I could, honestly, how many years
Speaker 1: ago is this?
Speaker 4: This is sir, This was probably twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: It was twenty one.
Speaker 5: God remember the interview, because you know he just got
Speaker 5: laid off when Joe Biden got inaugurated that day one thousands.
Speaker 5: It's just like him got laid off. You know, he
Speaker 5: was putting me through college. I didn't have no student
Speaker 5: loans or anything. He was funding it. And you know
Speaker 5: he was, you know, in a buying because you know,
Speaker 5: he needed to provide and without money, it's pretty hard
Speaker 5: to provide. And you know, you you've done a great
Speaker 5: deed and gave ten thousand dollars to my to my
Speaker 5: college fund. And those, uh, those dollars didn't go wasted
Speaker 5: because I graduate here in about three weeks and pursue
Speaker 5: my pursue my lifelong goal. So we just kind of
Speaker 5: wanted to get on here and say thank you for
Speaker 5: thank you for that deed, and it was very much
Speaker 5: appreciated of both of us.
Speaker 1: Linda, you you set this up apparently because I had
Speaker 1: no idea that this was coming. But why Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, it's I will tell you this my heart.
Speaker 1: My heart goes out to the people that really make
Speaker 1: the country great, and that is the working mental women.
Speaker 1: And when I hear stories where politicians ruined lives, like
Speaker 1: in your case, lending and and here you I'm sure
Speaker 1: a pretty at the time, a high paying career job
Speaker 1: and on the Keystone XL pipeline and that gets ripped
Speaker 1: out from under you for stupid political reasons and giving
Speaker 1: into environmental you know, radicals and extremists. I mean, that's heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: And then you have kids, and you have bills to
Speaker 1: pay and responsibilities and a dream that you want to
Speaker 1: send your kid to college and help them better their lives.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that that's that's that's what we
Speaker 1: do as parents, isn't it. That's what we're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: And if I'm able to help a little bit. I
Speaker 1: try to help as much as I can. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like I've lived an undeserved life. I never
Speaker 1: thought i'd be successful than anything. To be very honest,
Speaker 1: you know, I was. I was happy working in construction.
Speaker 1: I was happy working in restaurants. I'm happier doing this,
Speaker 1: but I never thought i'd make money doing this. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I started working for free. But
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to help you guys. It
Speaker 1: sounds like it really ended well.
Speaker 4: It did, mister handed In, I'm gonna tell you something.
Speaker 4: Number One, I'd like to just say, God blessed Donald J.
Speaker 4: Trump because he's brought us old field workers back, pipeline workers,
Speaker 4: plant workers. And I'm gonna tell you this third and
Speaker 4: fourth year quarters is gonna be excellent. Next year is
Speaker 4: gonna be super excellent, and the next year after that
Speaker 4: is gonna be We're not gonna have enough manpower. And
Speaker 4: it's amazing. A man that is a businessman with common
Speaker 4: horse sense, it comes in here and gets things going.
Speaker 4: That is a businessman that can prosper the parents, because
Speaker 4: mister Handy, I don't work for me, I work for them. Kids.
Speaker 4: That is my ultimate going life. That's my God given
Speaker 4: privilege to take care of them boys growing up and
Speaker 4: watching them grow who I am well pleased with. I
Speaker 4: am so thankful they was born. I just I give
Speaker 4: thanks my Lord Jesus Christ every day because these kids
Speaker 4: and they're growing and and it's just it's it's heartbreaking
Speaker 4: whenever you have a president to come in and I
Speaker 4: may hamstrain you and cuts you down to nothing. And
Speaker 4: all I've ever known for thirty five years is welding,
Speaker 4: and I've done good with it. And and this is
Speaker 4: the first time in my whole career when one man
Speaker 4: comes in office and I'm talking, it goes from from
Speaker 4: good to bad.
Speaker 2: And it just listen.
Speaker 1: As a father, I can relate to everything you saying.
Speaker 1: It ripsure guts out.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 1: Ever ever since my kids were born, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: started putting whenever I could as much money away for
Speaker 1: their for their college. I can I can proudly say
Speaker 1: I'm that both graduated college and they went to the
Speaker 1: colleges that they wanted to go to. I didn't have
Speaker 1: any saying any by the way, my kids told me
Speaker 1: where going to college. I had no saying it at
Speaker 1: all whatsoever, which didn't annoy the hell out of me.
Speaker 1: But it's it's their life, it's their dream, it's not mine.
Speaker 1: I've I pursued my life the way I wanted to,
Speaker 1: and it's up to them now to pursue theirs. And
Speaker 1: I'm just glad this worked out for both of you.
Speaker 1: And and really, you know, when you really think about it,
Speaker 1: I think it's the goal of any parent, you know,
Speaker 1: to hand off, you know, a better life to your
Speaker 1: children and your grandchildren. And I know, in my case,
Speaker 1: both my parents grew up poor. My grandparents came here,
Speaker 1: all four of them from Ireland, four and I know
Speaker 1: I stand on their shoulders, and uh, I'm I'm grateful
Speaker 1: to them because they live much harder lives than I do.
Speaker 1: Whenever I stop bitching, moaning and complaining, whining in my
Speaker 1: head or my heart, I stopped myself by remembering, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't have it so.
Speaker 4: Bad, Yes, sir, yes, sir, we're we're blessed. Me and
Speaker 4: my men family is blessed and highly favored. God sees
Speaker 4: favor us there every day, and I.
Speaker 1: Just I'm thankful forward well, I'm proud of you. Blake
Speaker 1: good job. Lynn, You're a great dad. I'm glad I
Speaker 1: can help a little bit, and I'm very touched by
Speaker 1: your story, more importantly by your faith, your your work ethic.
Speaker 1: You both personify what makes this country great and I'm
Speaker 1: grateful to both of you. God bless you both. Please
Speaker 1: stay in touch and we really appreciate you checking back
Speaker 1: in with us.
Speaker 5: Thank you, yes, sir, thank you, mister Handy. It's much appreciated.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right. God bless you and your kids when they're
Speaker 1: coming along too. Uh, all right, you set me up.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. But that's a good story.
Speaker 6: That's like one of those stories where you know, you feel,
Speaker 6: my God, there's so much bad news. And he called
Speaker 6: in and he was talking to Katie and he was
Speaker 6: reminding us of when he called in. And the weird
Speaker 6: thing is is like when you're going through it so long,
Speaker 6: but then he's like, oh, yeah, he's graduating. I'm like what, Like,
Speaker 6: he's done and he's moving on and he's starting his life.
Speaker 6: And you know, you have a little bit more than
Speaker 6: the average bear. And the fact that you're willing to
Speaker 6: share it with so many people is you know, it's
Speaker 6: really not common Swan. Most people are really you know,
Speaker 6: they're just they just don't do what you do. So
Speaker 6: I thought it was great that he wanted to call
Speaker 6: in and talk to you. And he's just I mean,
Speaker 6: my God, listen to him. He's like, I'm blessed and
Speaker 6: favored by the Lord. I mean, the guy is so reverent,
Speaker 6: so kind, so grateful. It's just he's just awesome.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I I don't understand. I
Speaker 1: do know people in life that are cheap, I really do,
Speaker 1: and I sometimes it's inexplicable to me. You know, I
Speaker 1: do have this sense that if you been blessed in
Speaker 1: your life, that you do have an obligation to help
Speaker 1: other people. I can't help everybody out, you know, but
Speaker 1: when I can, and I see the moment, you know,
Speaker 1: like churches talk about tithing, right, and I do give
Speaker 1: money to my church, But I'm not the big that
Speaker 1: there's lots of ways to me you can tie. Then
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just this is my own thought process. But
Speaker 1: when you see somebody in need, you help them. I
Speaker 1: think that just as if you can, you help them.
Speaker 6: You know, I saw this thing the other day on
Speaker 6: X and I'm addicted to X. I'm always on it.
Speaker 6: But this guy is a homeless guy is working in
Speaker 6: a grocery store, and there's there's this guy that goes
Speaker 6: around and he will pretend that he needs something, right like,
Speaker 6: I'll walk into a store and he'll say, hey, do
Speaker 6: you have a dollar. I'm trying to get baby food
Speaker 6: and I can't afford it. And whoever helps him out
Speaker 6: from the kindness of their heart, he gives them like
Speaker 6: five hundred dollars or a thousand dollars or whatever. This
Speaker 6: particular guy worked at the store gave him the dollar,
Speaker 6: and he goes, listen, this is this is all I have,
Speaker 6: but I hope it helps with your baby. And he
Speaker 6: hands them five hundred dollars on the spot. Well, somebody
Speaker 6: else stopped him on the way and he said, listen,
Speaker 6: that guy's homeless. He just gave you a dollar out
Speaker 6: of his pocket. He literally lives on the street and
Speaker 6: then you know, cleans up at like a shelter and
Speaker 6: then comes into work. And so he started like a
Speaker 6: gifts and Go or a go funding online from they
Speaker 6: raised one hundred thousand dollars for this homeless man because.
Speaker 1: He The American people are so generous it's unbelievable. You know,
Speaker 1: my kids fairly recently. They're both in the car with me, right,
Speaker 1: and I just see this old, elderly homeless guy and
Speaker 1: it was such a sad, sad picture. I mean, his
Speaker 1: head is down, he looks just so beaten down, depressed, defeated,
Speaker 1: and I just pulled over the car and my kids
Speaker 1: in the back are like amongst themselves, and they told
Speaker 1: me after they're betting how much I was going to
Speaker 1: give the guy, because they've they've seen me do this
Speaker 1: before and we talk about it. The only thing I
Speaker 1: do say to people when I give the money, I'm saying, please,
Speaker 1: don't spend this money, my money on alcohol and drugs.
Speaker 1: I do say that. And I asked them are you drinking?
Speaker 1: Are you? You know? And some people are honest, some
Speaker 1: people aren't, you know. In this case, I don't think
Speaker 1: the guy drank. I really don't. I just hope he didn't.
Speaker 1: Just I hope, Well, I didn't get he certainly was
Speaker 1: sober when when I saw him, didn't seem like the
Speaker 1: type of guy that was using drugs, And so, you know,
Speaker 1: I just handed the guy I always carried cash. My
Speaker 1: kids don't understand that either. They don't care kids today.
Speaker 1: Don't carry cash?
Speaker 5: Do you?
Speaker 1: Kids carry? Gotta carry cash? Cash is case exactly. I
Speaker 1: tell them all the time and I'm like, how much
Speaker 1: do you have on you? And I'm like, oh, and
Speaker 1: then I'm like, I'm taking money out of my pot.
Speaker 1: Always carried cash. I have to fight with them every
Speaker 1: single time I see them. I'm like, what do I
Speaker 1: tell you? Always carry cash? And anyway, so I gave
Speaker 1: the guy a hundred bucks and I'm like, and I
Speaker 1: just think. And my kids asked me, well, what if
Speaker 1: they what if they do buy alcoholic drugs? I said,
Speaker 1: that's on them because I asked them not to do
Speaker 1: that at that point. And there was a point in
Speaker 1: my life I thought, well, you're just enabling people, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I mean, when somebody is that beaten down,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that they're going to be that you're going
Speaker 1: to be able to say that it's going to get
Speaker 1: them into a job that day or anytime soon. And
Speaker 1: so many people have mental health issues. Anyway, I think
Speaker 1: that it is nice. And I will say this the
Speaker 1: American people and all of you, in your own way,
Speaker 1: I'm sure have all reached into your pocket to help
Speaker 1: people out when you can, and it doesn't matter. I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's two dollars of five dollars, I
Speaker 1: don't care what it is. It's it's it's and it's
Speaker 1: not a cliche to say it's the thought that counts.
Speaker 1: It's just human decency. If you can help people, why not.
Speaker 1: All right, take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: continue on the other side. Eight hundred ninety four one,
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. If you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program.
