Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour Toll free.
Our number is eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn,
if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm always looking for good shows, series, movies to watch,
and I happened upon I'm sure somebody recommended it to
me in and I finally did a deep dive and
(00:25):
I really got into it. Angel Studios. It's I believe
it's Angel dot com. Is what the website is. I'll
find out in a second for sure. And they did
a whole series called The Chosen and it was about
his life, Jesus's life on Earth, and they did three
seasons of it. I just I can't wait for the
(00:46):
next season. And it was to me, I could not
stop watching it. And it was one of those those
binge series. And especially if you're a person of faith
and you believe in Jesus, and by the way, regardless
of what faith you're from, you get a lot if
you want to know about the story of Jesus. They
did something that I thought was impossible to do, and
that is they were able to show the human side
(01:08):
of the Son of Man. On Earth, obviously leading up
to his resurrection. Now we all remember the Passion of
the Christ. I can't watch that movie to this day
without crying. And they now came out with a new movie.
Its stars, interestingly enough, somebody I happened to like a lot.
He played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, Jim
(01:30):
cavisl And it's called The Sound of Freedom. And this
is a little bit different. This is based on a
true story of freedom fighter that embarks on a dangerous
mission to literally rescue dozens of children from human trafficking
and sex trafficking and slavery. It is beyond emotionally riveting
(01:54):
start to finish. It will be in theaters the weekend
of July fourth. But I want to tell you about
a union program that they've instituted that you can get
your tickets now and guarantee that you can see it
and even pay for people that maybe can't afford to
see it. That's coming up in a second. But here's
the trailer.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It is the fastest growing international crime network that the
world has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It has already passed the illettal arms trade, and soon
it's going to.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Pass the truck trade because you can sell the bag
a cocaine one time, it's a child five to ten
times a day.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
God's children are enough, so I don't even do this
cold years now, how many pedophiles you come?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Kids you found.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
For Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You know we can't go off rescue in Honduran kids
in Colombia.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It may she'll disappear for good.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
As you're walking into her right now, singing every bed.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You quit your job and you go and rescue those kids.
Joining us now is Tim Ballard. This story was about
him and his life. He's the guy that actually was
involved in rescuing children from human trafficking. And Jim Cavizo,
who plays Tim in the movie, is with us. Great
(03:25):
to have you both, you know, Tim, Before I get
to your personal story, I want to go to Jim.
At the end of this movie, you did a passionate
description and up on the screen at the end of
the movie how human trafficking is one hundred and fifty
dollars a year business. These are the facts you put up.
In the last frame of the movie. You said, the
United States of America, our country is one of the
(03:48):
top destinations for human trafficking and among the largest consumers
of child sex. And then you put up that there
are more humans trapped in slavery today than at any
other time in history, including when slavery was legal, and
millions of these slaves are children. Now, I mean that
(04:11):
took me aback. I did. Now. I've known over the years,
interviewing guys that have worked in various law enforcement that
have told me how real this is and how dangerous
this is, and how widespread this is. But I those
statistics startled me.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, it's okay. Two things here. One, I want to
tell you how incredible this film is, but you need
not look far if you want to go to Ms
Rojas testimony April twenty six, and from this one given
her sworn testimony when she whistled blowed that eight hundred
and fifty thousand children went missing, and the next day
(04:48):
in the media, there was nothing in the news. Now
the public is well aware that a lot of this
stuff comes out and then the next day it's gone.
And when you go into this film, when you watch
this film, let me just say this, ladies and gentlemen,
this is not a woke movie like the Maverick movie
last year. Top Gun, Great adventure. This also has a
(05:09):
great adventure thrill ride when you watch what my hero
Tim Ballard, who I got to play, and thankfully he
came to me and asked me to play this part.
But I'm gonna explain something like The Passion of Christ,
the movie you just mentioned earlier. People don't leave the theater.
They're stunned, flack job. The mouths are wide open, just
looking at each other because they just went on this
(05:31):
massive thrill ride. But something that hits who's so hard
to your core? And I think that it would beat
the right time now that the public would On the
fourth of July, they give these children they're independent to
go and sit and watch this tremendous film. It's one
of the best films I've done since The Passion of
the Christ.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, I can tell you I agree with you. It's
called The Sound of Freedom. It's going to be in
theaters nationwide. It was shot on location in Colombia, and
it's based on the very true story and the true
bravery and the incredible heroism of this other guest. We
have Tim Ballard. I Well, first of all, you're a
hero to me already, and I don't know you, but
(06:14):
this will resonate with Americans, and I think Americans need
to understand how widespread this is. You know, how real
is the movie to what exactly you did?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Yeah, thanks Sam. Honored to be on your show and
appreciate the opportunity. So the film really is it's very accurate.
Every kid, it's real, every bad guy is real, and
the story is based on a truth that is coming
is a documentary that's coming out. It's gonna actually show
you in some ways the underreported in the film what
(06:46):
actually happened in terms of the number of rescues on
that particular operation. So it's it's it's it was our
first operation. And I'm just grateful that we have amazing
partners in the media and show in the Angels Feels
to get this word out because we think you can
help us through a lot more kids.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The amazing thing is is they're asking people. They want
to get two million people in week one in the theaters,
and they have a unique way to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You can go to their website right now and buy
it for the fourth of July weekend, it's release weekend,
and that's at angel dot com, or they have another
website sound offreedommovie dot com. And if you're there and
you want to buy tickets for you and your family,
you might want to pay for one or two other
people to go because they want anybody that wants to
(07:33):
see this film. They'll have the ability to say it.
They call paying it forward. So in this particular case,
what amazed me is when you went in to rescue well,
first of all, the human evil that exists in the
world today. Tim it's you know, it's hard for good people,
I think, to really wrap themselves around that, the fact
that evil exists. And you have this one woman appealing
(07:55):
to a father, Oh, let me bring your two kids.
I think they can be stars. Let me bring them
to the audition it's going to take place tomorrow. The
woman knows full well that she's going to kidnap those children,
sell them into slavery most often the case sex slavery.
And you were able to save both a brother and
a sister in this instance. And my understanding is you
(08:16):
saved other children as well. I mean, tell people a
little bit about that story.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, So I had been sent down by the US government.
I was a special agent with US government at this time,
with homeand Security and I was sent down to do
a training consult on this case, and I kind of
overcommitted and went further than I was supposed to, and
ultimately had to make a choice either come home and
not do the case, or quit my job in look.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
By the Way and quit your job ten months before
you invested in your pension.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I walked away to I didn't get anything. And I'll
be honest, I was more cowardice than the film shows.
I had six kids at the time, and as my
wife says, you were not coming home. You were going
to stay there, and she said, I will not let
you jeopardize my salvation by not doing this. So really,
you know, Mary Savino plays my wife, and her role
(09:09):
is actually a lot more powerful in real life and
influencing this operation, and so I mean in her knowing
that I may never come home. It was that kind
of an operation. I lost my badge, I lost my
pop cover, you know, the protection of the US government,
and we went in and we infiltrated this organization, like
like you mentioned, run by a woman I just testified
(09:30):
in her trial actually just a few months ago. That's
still ongoing. They're all gonna be convicted, but and she
had her and her cohorts and they were recruiting children.
She's like you said, they were recruiting children by pretending
that they were going to make them famous, famous models,
famous actors. Because woman was famous. She was Miss Krktahema
in twenty twelve. She shows up in music videos off
through Columbia. So she was very convincing. And she was
(09:53):
able to round up quite a few children in the
end of fifty four in total on that particular operation.
And we were able to get them all in the
same place, all the traffickers in the same place. And
you know, Jim, Jim can tell you he depicted something
that was really real. And I was on the set crying.
I was crying as I watched them, you know, that
raid and up brist co operation on the island because
(10:15):
it was so so incredibly real, and it was just
it was like a mile from the actual location where
it had happened.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So and by the way, just so people know, this
is it right in the middle of Cartel central. There
was no help ever coming. You either got in and
out on your own, or you weren't getting out. You'd
be dead.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Sean, He's not even hardly telling you anything. They were
doing operations while we were doing that was shooting, they
were doing operations, so I had a first hand account
of what that is like. In fact one, at one point,
I you know, Tim was straining me to you know,
(10:53):
taking me in and showing me okay when I'm asking
questions and what are you looking for here? And because
it's really important for the audience to understand and this
is action adventure, but you learn, you learn how it works.
You get to see how they hunt. And in this
particular case, Tim had me coming in there, back and forth.
(11:13):
I was going back to Salt Lake, back and forth,
and I was going to do a mission with them. Well,
they end up doing a mission, but it was while
we were filming, and he said, you can't do it.
It's too dangerous. We were shooting right in the cartel territory.
I'm going from set, just walking from you know, I
forgot something down to the set. My security came running
(11:33):
after me, surrounded me and said, do you have any
idea where you're at? They would take your head off.
Don't ever do that again. Okay, you know, but I'm
sitting thinking of learning, remembering my lines and trying to
change things and where am I going to pull my
gun out? And everything, and but this is all going on,
and he's trying to arrest ms Carthagenia while this is
(11:56):
all going on when we're down there, and I'll just
tell you, just Sean, we had fifteen hundred people in
a theater in Vegas and not one of them got
up and left. And at one particular part they were
talking back and forth like so I asked them at
the end of the movie, why were you doing that?
Why were you talking like that? And they kept saying,
(12:16):
Epstein Island, Ebstein Island. Well, I want to say that
Epstein Island isn't the only sex island for kids.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean that's such a powerful point. I mean, when
you look at these actual numbers and the fact that
this was your real life, Tim, and I guess still
remains your real life. Every time you're involved in one
of these operations, you know you may not be coming home,
that's right.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Yeah, these operations are pretty dangerous. We infiltrate pretty deep.
And you know what's the Maybe the thing I'm most
proud of is the fact that when I see that movie,
our teams, I have one hundred and forty plus employees.
Now after that operation, we're all through the world. Our
foundation is called Operation Underground Railroad, and I also run
the Nazarene Sun which was founded by Glenn Beck, which
(12:59):
says similar work for pursputed Christians. But we're doing these
operations that you see in that film every week, every month.
So it's great to be part of a solution, but
we've got to wake everybody up. You know, the United States,
as you mentioned earlier, Sean, we're in the top destination.
We're number two or three. I spent ten years of
my career on the border, on the southern border, and
(13:20):
you've taught you've been more vocal than anyone, and can
thank god you have been, because we are facilitating human
trafficking as you know. You know, eighty five thousand uncompanied
minors under this current administration have disappeared into the belly
of the United States. We are the number one demand
in the world for child's six. So it doesn't take
an economist to really conclude what's happening here, why it's happening.
(13:42):
It makes me sit to my stomach to think that,
you know, when we don't enforce those laws on the border.
Children get great, and they get great by the thousands
in our own country. So thank you for being both
on that and Ted Cruz and those who have really
come out with the truth here. But we are our
own country. We are compelisit and one of the worst
human trafficking schemes that the world's ever seen.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, I'm going to tell you what they're planning. This
movie is going to be released. You have to see it,
and you can buy tickets early. You can go to
angel dot com. They're looking for two million people the
weekend of the fourth of July. This this will have
a for an impact that will last forever, I promise you,
and Angel dot com slash Hannity and you can even
buy tickets maybe for people that can't afford them. If
(14:25):
you want to go but can't afford it, somebody will
pay it for you. We'll take care of it. And
if you want to see just go to Sound of
freedommovie dot com as well. This will be this, This
will shock your conscience and soul because you're witnessing real
evil and real time people without heart, souls or conscience
(14:46):
and guys, all I can say is really well done.
We're going to talk more about it before it's debut.
Jim Cavizl. We haven't talked in a long time. Good
good to hear your voice, my friend. Great job in
this movie, Tim Ballard, what an incredible and sprang inspiring
life you've led. And just remember this name. Sound of
Freedom weekend, fourth of July. Sound offreedommovie dot com or
(15:09):

blew me away, absolutely blew me away in the work
at Angel Studios. This phenomenon as well. Thank you both.
It's like become my favorite song. Did it for the party?
(15:31):
Big and Rich? Well, if I'm playing Big and Rich,
that usually means one thing, especially on a Friday. We
want to have a little fun with our buddy John Rich.
By the way, so we told you this story. We
had a caller one day. The name is Wendy. She's
the owner of Outposts six eleven eatery and tap house,
the creator of the drink the oh Shanity is what
(15:53):
we call it. And anyway, she's having a special guest
at a restaurant. Our friend John Rich, and he's doing
a whiskey signing is Redneck Rivierra Whiskey, which, by the way,
you know, I'm not the biggest whiskey drinker, but you
know what, I like this whiskey and it's fun and
it's all about freedom and fun when it comes to
John Rich. And anyway, welcome both of you the program, Wendy,
(16:16):
Welcome back John Rich, my brother. I love the new song.
Do it for the party. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Appreciate it. Sean'm good to be on with you again, brother.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You're a good man, Wendy. And now how's the o'shanity
doing down there?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Oh, we're just waiting for you to come down, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now you're in Tampa, Florida, right and uh that's awesome. Okay,
all right, So tell me how this all came about, Wendy.
Where you hooked up with John Rich and you're gonna
have a whiskey signing, which I think is an awesome idea.
I've been to the Redneck Rivier era bar in Vegas
with John Rich and him and and Big Kenny were
(16:51):
also playing. It was so much fun. That night, Linda
was being really weird dancing by herself. But otherwise it was.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay, that is that is a false representation my behavior.
That evening. Some people when they hear John Rich play
amazing music like to dance like other people were on
the dance floor. Unlike you, you were holding up a
wall that was doing just fine on it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I was holding up the wall and holding up my
drink and enjoying the music. And maybe that was the problem.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Maybe you can't hold your with.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, that's not the that's not It has nothing to
do with holding up a wall. I was just relaxing
and chilling in, enjoying the show, you know. And then
I look out on the dance floor and there are
couples and then you dancing alone. But I digress. Anyway,
how's the o'ceanity doing, Wendy.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Linda? Okay, So we have a rap that represents Redneck riviera.
And because John Rich was coming to town and needed
a place to eat lunch, they asked us if we
would accommodate him. And we sell his whiskey and we
love it and we have different cocktails with it. And
(17:53):
I think my husband is making some whiskey infused dish
for John tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Really, let's talk about that. What is he making for John?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's some surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I thought you're married. You can't get that out of
your husband.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I'm not I'm not good in the kitchen, Sean. So
I leave it to my husband and my son.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, all I know, John Riches, I know you're gonna
have a great time. People have to go out to this.
What time is this all happening.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I think three o'clock, John.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
This is tomorrow, June third, Clearwater, Florida. What is the
address of where this is going to take place?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
It's two four or five four McMullen Booth Road and Clearwater.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And by the way, the website is Outpost sixty one
to one eatery. And you got to try an o'ceanity,
mister rich So you've got different blends of this whiskey,
and it comes straight from your your grandma, and it's
a great story and it's doing phenomenal. Please tell me.
Not ready to sell this thing because so many people
they build up a big company and then they say,
(18:52):
you know what, I'll take five billion dollars a walk away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
No, I'm really enjoying it, Sean. It's one of those
brands that you know I own the brand, not an
endorser of it. It's actually mine And you know my
platform is really simple, God, family, and country. If you
like those three things, this brand will not disappoint you.
In a world full of brands that continue to disappoint people,
mine is one that will not if you support those things.
(19:16):
It's one hundred percent made in the USA, one hundred
percent American glass courts. It is extremely smooth, it's affordable.
It's an over ten thousand stores. Redneckrivia dot com has
all the stores on the store locator. But I'm looking
forward to coming to Tampa tomorrow because it's going to
be a huge day. I'm going to see Wendy in
between when we sit down and have a little something
(19:37):
to eat and meet a few people. But I start
the day off at one o'clock in clear Water at
the Walmart store Highway nineteen one to two thirty. I'll
be signing bottles. Now imagine that, Sean John Rich and
the Walmart store signing bottles of Rednick Riviera whiskey. Can
I get a hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm surprised that Walmart's letting you do it. I didn't
even know Walmart sold spirits. I know some tell some
of the big change due I didn't know Walmart did.
That's great to know they do.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So that's that's one o'clock and clear Water Highway nineteen.
And then I go see Wendy and we hang out
for a while. And then I go to Oldsmar at
four point thirty on Tampa Road and I do another
big signing at that Walmart right there on Oldsmar four thirty,
and listen. I do these signings. I don't do them
all the time. But one of my favorite things is
how many veterans come through the line. I have active
(20:25):
duty guys that come through the line, moms, dads, regular
everyday American people that show up in droves and I
get to shake their hand, take pictures with them. You know,
Seana just reminds you of the incredible I call those
people the elites. We always talk about the elites are
doing this and the elites are doing that. Now, the
real American elites are the ones that put the key
(20:47):
in the ignition. Every morning, they go to work and
they take care of their family, and they love their
country and they try to build something better for the
people that are going to be after them. That's the
real American elites. Those are the ones that I made
this whiskey for rednick of Era.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They're the unsung heroes. They are the people that make
this country great. They get up, they work hard, they
pay by the play by the rules. They believe in God, faith, family,
and and fund uh and this is part of it.
And they pay their taxes, obey the laws, and they
provide goods and services for other people. They raise their
kids and go to church on Sunday. Those are the
(21:23):
people that I that I identify with. All right, So what's
an oceanity? Just so John Rich can get up to speed, Wendy.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Okay, So if you remember back, maybe a couple of
phone calls, you told me that you drink a certain beer,
a very light beer, and you put a you put an.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Ice cube in it.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
So I had a cure picture drawn of you.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I saw this, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
You saw it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I did you.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But we're trying to get you on a little different beer.
So maybe something like a frew or something you could try,
and then when you come in will we'll we'll give
give you all kinds of different beers to try. But
so people come in and ask for the shanity with
the ice cube in it, any beer.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Maybe I should come up with a line. Maybe John
Richie can help me and I could. I should call
it O'shanity vodka. What do you think would that work?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
You would sell a lot of it. But I have
this vision in my head of Sean Hannity drinking a
very light beer with an ice cube in it, and
I have to imagine Sean, tell me if this is
true or not. When you sip that beer, your pinkies
are up?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
All right? Are you done making fun? I've had the
pleasure of hanging with you till you know the sun
comes up, so you know that I can hang at
least as well as the next guy. You're a tough
guy to hang with. I will say that now. The
reason is, I'll tell you very bluntly, why is because
you know, at the time I was on a diet
like I usually am, and I was trying to keep
(22:52):
the weight off that I didn't want to drink a
heavy beer.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Well, it's understandable. You are good though people. People don't
know that you're like basically an m guy. At this point,
I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley.
I can tell you that much. I think you look
great and you're now.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You would lose, but I could never hit you no
matter what. Didn't matter. If you came at me with
all you got, I wouldn't hit you. I wouldn't. I
just I love you too much.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I love you too, buddy.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, so you got a busy weekend. Now looks for
everyone to get information because you're all over different parts
of Florida tomorrow. How do they find out where and
when you are and when you're going to be with Wendy.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
So it'll be posted on my Twitter which is at
John Rich or on True Social at John Rich Again.
It's tomorrow one o'clock to two thirty at the Walmart
and clear Water Highway nineteen, I'm signing bottles of Rednick
Rivero whiskey. Then I'll be with Wendy around three three
thirties that in that timeframe, hanging out with them at
(23:47):
her Great Restaurant. And then four thirty at the Walmart
and Oldsmar Tampa Road. Four thirty to six, I'll be
signing bottles there. So everybody come out and see me.
Bring your friends and family and let's get a picture
and celebrate our freedom tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Bringing your guitar with you, just asking I.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Don't need a guitar in a store like that, I
may just break out into song or just at the
top of my lungs with no guitar. Man, I can
pull it with nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Wow, there's a man confident what he does. Wendy, how's
business working for you? Guys?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Business is very good, Thank you. And it's always booming
after I'm speaking with you, so I'm beaming ear to
ear to be on the phone with both of you.
It's such a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We love you, Wendy. We wish you the best Outpost
sixty one one eatery and tap house. You don't want
to miss it. John Rich. Go to John's website get
all the details. He'll be in in and around the
Tampa Clearwater area all day tomorrow. Thank you both. Appreciate
you both being with us.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Thank you all right.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Eight hundred nine point one Seawan our number if you
want to be a part of the program. Dennis is
in New Jersey. What are you doing in New Jersey?
Dennis Sean, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Pleasure to you?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh, the pleasure is all mine. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell up a little bit
about this feeling. Let the house, Speaker McCarthey is pushing through.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I'm hearing a lot of different viewpoints from both sides
of the aisle. It's good, it's bad, it's you know,
and it's hard to get a fix on it. But
I do have a comparison that I would I can
make to it if you let me.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I was in New York City fireman, so a lot
of times, you know, we would have to force doors,
open the door for the engine company, let them in
there with the water, put the fire out, so the
enforceable entry team would take their tools. We'd work on
the door and we would try to get what we
call the purchase, just a little tinty crack at the
(25:41):
tool in the door as best as we could, and
then we start slowly opening it up so the engine
can push in there with a line. And to me,
that's what I think Speaker McCarthey has done. He's got
the crack of the door opened with this bill.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Listen, that's the historical perspective, and I give a lot
of I seed a lot of credibility to New King
Rich and that was his argument that, you know, what
Kevin said is true, that this is the largest cut
that's ever actually taken place in history. You know, my, my,
you know, very very measured argument back is this is
(26:22):
also the biggest deficit and debt we've ever had.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah, you're right, it is. But we have to start somewhere,
and I think I hope that this is a good start.
They're going to push the door open a little by
a little and eventually hopefully the Republicans will get in
there with a line and put this fire out.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We can all hope on that part. By the way,
thanks for your years. I have a lot of friends
that are firemen that have been fireman in New York City.
You know, I would try and rib you guys a
little bit, because you know, you guys cook some of
the best meals you could ever imagine. And correct me
at any point if I'm wrong. If you're in a
slow firehouse, you're not too busy. You get twenty four
(26:59):
hours on straight work time, and if nothing's happening, and
you get what's called rack time. All right, So these
guys would be on the rack meaning to get to
sleep a little bit and kate, but wake up quickly
if something happens, and what then you get what forty
eight hours off or seventy two hours off? And then
you go back and morg another day. And then you know,
And I used to give them a hard time. Now
(27:21):
I was just doing it because they're my friends. But then,
you know, then you have to think of one thing,
remember one thing, and that's nine to eleven oh one.
And what were your fellow firefighters doing that day? While
everyone was racing to get the hell out of those buildings,
moving down those stairs as fast as their feet would
take them, your fellow firefighters were going up in the
other direction. And I'm pretty convinced a lot of them
(27:43):
knew that this was it for them.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh yeah, definitely. I mean I was there that day
and we were driving over the Verrezana Bridge. I was
the show for that day, and I'm looking at the
cows lit up like Roman candles, and I told my lieutenant,
I said a lot of guys are going to die today.
That's what happened. But getting back to the eating part.
My son, he works in the browns So fire House,
(28:06):
one of the busiest companies in the world. And he's
the cook there. He cooks some good meals, so those
guys are happy with him.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh man, what's his specialties? What did he like to make?
A lot?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He likes to make shrimp tissues. He does a lot
of taco tuesdays, things like that. You know. But I've
had these discussions with my brothers before. I mean, my
father was a fine that two of my brothers were.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So you you've heard friends of yours ribu like I do.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Right, Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
But you know what, when when you guys are needed,
you're earning every penny and then some. H I'm glad
you're retired, though. Thank you for your service, my friend.
God bless you too.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Appreciate you to say and keep doing what you're doing, all.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Right, Dennis, thank you. Look, I've told you all about
ways in these tough economic times to save money. One
way is to make the switch away from big carriers
like Verizon AT and T T and because if you're
using those big carriers, you are overpaying. It's pure and simple. Now,
the average family that makes the switch to pure talk
is saving close to one thousand dollars a year for
(29:11):
the exact same service, meaning they use the same exact
cell towers as the big carriers, the same five G network.
You just save all that money and right now they're
offering unlimited talk, text, and ultra fast five G data
for only twenty bucks a month. Now you're asking about
the coverage. I just explained that the same towers, the
(29:31):
same five G network. Grab your phone doll pound two
to fifty, say the keyword save now, and you'll get
unlimited talk and text, plenty of data, five G data
twenty bucks a month. They have an amazing customer service team.
They'll make it simple, fast and easy, and it's a
veteran owned company. They care about jobs staying right here
in America. Pound two fifty keywords save now from our
(29:52):
friends at Pure Talk for the exact same service. Torpedoes
of truth at a wall of lies.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
This is is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (30:11):

Going up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload hour.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All Right, News round Up, Information Overload Hour Toll free.
Our number is eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn,
if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm always looking for good shows, series, movies to watch,
and I happened upon I'm sure somebody recommended it to
me in and I finally did a deep dive and
(00:25):
I really got into it. Angel Studios. It's I believe
it's Angel dot com. Is what the website is. I'll
find out in a second for sure. And they did
a whole series called The Chosen and it was about
his life, Jesus's life on Earth, and they did three
seasons of it. I just I can't wait for the
(00:46):
next season. And it was to me, I could not
stop watching it. And it was one of those those
binge series. And especially if you're a person of faith
and you believe in Jesus, and by the way, regardless
of what faith you're from, you get a lot if
you want to know about the story of Jesus. They
did something that I thought was impossible to do, and
that is they were able to show the human side
(01:08):
of the Son of Man. On Earth, obviously leading up
to his resurrection. Now we all remember the Passion of
the Christ. I can't watch that movie to this day
without crying. And they now came out with a new movie.
Its stars, interestingly enough, somebody I happened to like a lot.
He played Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, Jim
(01:30):
cavisl And it's called The Sound of Freedom. And this
is a little bit different. This is based on a
true story of freedom fighter that embarks on a dangerous
mission to literally rescue dozens of children from human trafficking
and sex trafficking and slavery. It is beyond emotionally riveting
(01:54):
start to finish. It will be in theaters the weekend
of July fourth. But I want to tell you about
a union program that they've instituted that you can get
your tickets now and guarantee that you can see it
and even pay for people that maybe can't afford to
see it. That's coming up in a second. But here's
the trailer.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It is the fastest growing international crime network that the
world has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It has already passed the illettal arms trade, and soon
it's going to.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Pass the truck trade because you can sell the bag
a cocaine one time, it's a child five to ten
times a day.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
God's children are enough, so I don't even do this
cold years now, how many pedophiles you come?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Kids you found.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
For Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You know we can't go off rescue in Honduran kids
in Colombia.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It may she'll disappear for good.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
As you're walking into her right now, singing every bed.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You quit your job and you go and rescue those kids.
Joining us now is Tim Ballard. This story was about
him and his life. He's the guy that actually was
involved in rescuing children from human trafficking. And Jim Cavizo,
who plays Tim in the movie, is with us. Great
(03:25):
to have you both, you know, Tim, Before I get
to your personal story, I want to go to Jim.
At the end of this movie, you did a passionate
description and up on the screen at the end of
the movie how human trafficking is one hundred and fifty
dollars a year business. These are the facts you put up.
In the last frame of the movie. You said, the
United States of America, our country is one of the
(03:48):
top destinations for human trafficking and among the largest consumers
of child sex. And then you put up that there
are more humans trapped in slavery today than at any
other time in history, including when slavery was legal, and
millions of these slaves are children. Now, I mean that
(04:11):
took me aback. I did. Now. I've known over the years,
interviewing guys that have worked in various law enforcement that
have told me how real this is and how dangerous
this is, and how widespread this is. But I those
statistics startled me.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, it's okay. Two things here. One, I want to
tell you how incredible this film is, but you need
not look far if you want to go to Ms
Rojas testimony April twenty six, and from this one given
her sworn testimony when she whistled blowed that eight hundred
and fifty thousand children went missing, and the next day
(04:48):
in the media, there was nothing in the news. Now
the public is well aware that a lot of this
stuff comes out and then the next day it's gone.
And when you go into this film, when you watch
this film, let me just say this, ladies and gentlemen,
this is not a woke movie like the Maverick movie
last year. Top Gun, Great adventure. This also has a
(05:09):
great adventure thrill ride when you watch what my hero
Tim Ballard, who I got to play, and thankfully he
came to me and asked me to play this part.
But I'm gonna explain something like The Passion of Christ,
the movie you just mentioned earlier. People don't leave the theater.
They're stunned, flack job. The mouths are wide open, just
looking at each other because they just went on this
(05:31):
massive thrill ride. But something that hits who's so hard
to your core? And I think that it would beat
the right time now that the public would On the
fourth of July, they give these children they're independent to
go and sit and watch this tremendous film. It's one
of the best films I've done since The Passion of
the Christ.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, I can tell you I agree with you. It's
called The Sound of Freedom. It's going to be in
theaters nationwide. It was shot on location in Colombia, and
it's based on the very true story and the true
bravery and the incredible heroism of this other guest. We
have Tim Ballard. I Well, first of all, you're a
hero to me already, and I don't know you, but
(06:14):
this will resonate with Americans, and I think Americans need
to understand how widespread this is. You know, how real
is the movie to what exactly you did?
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Yeah, thanks Sam. Honored to be on your show and
appreciate the opportunity. So the film really is it's very accurate.
Every kid, it's real, every bad guy is real, and
the story is based on a truth that is coming
is a documentary that's coming out. It's gonna actually show
you in some ways the underreported in the film what
(06:46):
actually happened in terms of the number of rescues on
that particular operation. So it's it's it's it was our
first operation. And I'm just grateful that we have amazing
partners in the media and show in the Angels Feels
to get this word out because we think you can
help us through a lot more kids.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The amazing thing is is they're asking people. They want
to get two million people in week one in the theaters,
and they have a unique way to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You can go to their website right now and buy
it for the fourth of July weekend, it's release weekend,
and that's at angel dot com, or they have another
website sound offreedommovie dot com. And if you're there and
you want to buy tickets for you and your family,
you might want to pay for one or two other
people to go because they want anybody that wants to
(07:33):
see this film. They'll have the ability to say it.
They call paying it forward. So in this particular case,
what amazed me is when you went in to rescue well,
first of all, the human evil that exists in the
world today. Tim it's you know, it's hard for good people,
I think, to really wrap themselves around that, the fact
that evil exists. And you have this one woman appealing
(07:55):
to a father, Oh, let me bring your two kids.
I think they can be stars. Let me bring them
to the audition it's going to take place tomorrow. The
woman knows full well that she's going to kidnap those children,
sell them into slavery most often the case sex slavery.
And you were able to save both a brother and
a sister in this instance. And my understanding is you
(08:16):
saved other children as well. I mean, tell people a
little bit about that story.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, So I had been sent down by the US government.
I was a special agent with US government at this time,
with homeand Security and I was sent down to do
a training consult on this case, and I kind of
overcommitted and went further than I was supposed to, and
ultimately had to make a choice either come home and
not do the case, or quit my job in look.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
By the Way and quit your job ten months before
you invested in your pension.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I walked away to I didn't get anything. And I'll
be honest, I was more cowardice than the film shows.
I had six kids at the time, and as my
wife says, you were not coming home. You were going
to stay there, and she said, I will not let
you jeopardize my salvation by not doing this. So really,
you know, Mary Savino plays my wife, and her role
(09:09):
is actually a lot more powerful in real life and
influencing this operation, and so I mean in her knowing
that I may never come home. It was that kind
of an operation. I lost my badge, I lost my
pop cover, you know, the protection of the US government,
and we went in and we infiltrated this organization, like
like you mentioned, run by a woman I just testified
(09:30):
in her trial actually just a few months ago. That's
still ongoing. They're all gonna be convicted, but and she
had her and her cohorts and they were recruiting children.
She's like you said, they were recruiting children by pretending
that they were going to make them famous, famous models,
famous actors. Because woman was famous. She was Miss Krktahema
in twenty twelve. She shows up in music videos off
through Columbia. So she was very convincing. And she was
(09:53):
able to round up quite a few children in the
end of fifty four in total on that particular operation.
And we were able to get them all in the
same place, all the traffickers in the same place. And
you know, Jim, Jim can tell you he depicted something
that was really real. And I was on the set crying.
I was crying as I watched them, you know, that
raid and up brist co operation on the island because
(10:15):
it was so so incredibly real, and it was just
it was like a mile from the actual location where
it had happened.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So and by the way, just so people know, this
is it right in the middle of Cartel central. There
was no help ever coming. You either got in and
out on your own, or you weren't getting out. You'd
be dead.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Sean, He's not even hardly telling you anything. They were
doing operations while we were doing that was shooting, they
were doing operations, so I had a first hand account
of what that is like. In fact one, at one point,
I you know, Tim was straining me to you know,
(10:53):
taking me in and showing me okay when I'm asking
questions and what are you looking for here? And because
it's really important for the audience to understand and this
is action adventure, but you learn, you learn how it works.
You get to see how they hunt. And in this
particular case, Tim had me coming in there, back and forth.
(11:13):
I was going back to Salt Lake, back and forth,
and I was going to do a mission with them. Well,
they end up doing a mission, but it was while
we were filming, and he said, you can't do it.
It's too dangerous. We were shooting right in the cartel territory.
I'm going from set, just walking from you know, I
forgot something down to the set. My security came running
(11:33):
after me, surrounded me and said, do you have any
idea where you're at? They would take your head off.
Don't ever do that again. Okay, you know, but I'm
sitting thinking of learning, remembering my lines and trying to
change things and where am I going to pull my
gun out? And everything, and but this is all going on,
and he's trying to arrest ms Carthagenia while this is
(11:56):
all going on when we're down there, and I'll just
tell you, just Sean, we had fifteen hundred people in
a theater in Vegas and not one of them got
up and left. And at one particular part they were
talking back and forth like so I asked them at
the end of the movie, why were you doing that?
Why were you talking like that? And they kept saying,
(12:16):
Epstein Island, Ebstein Island. Well, I want to say that
Epstein Island isn't the only sex island for kids.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean that's such a powerful point. I mean, when
you look at these actual numbers and the fact that
this was your real life, Tim, and I guess still
remains your real life. Every time you're involved in one
of these operations, you know you may not be coming home,
that's right.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Yeah, these operations are pretty dangerous. We infiltrate pretty deep.
And you know what's the Maybe the thing I'm most
proud of is the fact that when I see that movie,
our teams, I have one hundred and forty plus employees.
Now after that operation, we're all through the world. Our
foundation is called Operation Underground Railroad, and I also run
the Nazarene Sun which was founded by Glenn Beck, which
(12:59):
says similar work for pursputed Christians. But we're doing these
operations that you see in that film every week, every month.
So it's great to be part of a solution, but
we've got to wake everybody up. You know, the United States,
as you mentioned earlier, Sean, we're in the top destination.
We're number two or three. I spent ten years of
my career on the border, on the southern border, and
(13:20):
you've taught you've been more vocal than anyone, and can
thank god you have been, because we are facilitating human
trafficking as you know. You know, eighty five thousand uncompanied
minors under this current administration have disappeared into the belly
of the United States. We are the number one demand
in the world for child's six. So it doesn't take
an economist to really conclude what's happening here, why it's happening.
(13:42):
It makes me sit to my stomach to think that,
you know, when we don't enforce those laws on the border.
Children get great, and they get great by the thousands
in our own country. So thank you for being both
on that and Ted Cruz and those who have really
come out with the truth here. But we are our
own country. We are compelisit and one of the worst
human trafficking schemes that the world's ever seen.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, I'm going to tell you what they're planning. This
movie is going to be released. You have to see it,
and you can buy tickets early. You can go to
angel dot com. They're looking for two million people the

We're going to talk more about it before it's debut.
Jim Cavizl. We haven't talked in a long time. Good

at Angel Studios. This phenomenon as well. Thank you both.
It's like become my favorite song. Did it for the party?
(15:31):
Big and Rich? Well, if I'm playing Big and Rich,
that usually means one thing, especially on a Friday. We
want to have a little fun with our buddy John Rich.
By the way, so we told you this story. We
had a caller one day. The name is Wendy. She's
the owner of Outposts six eleven eatery and tap house,
the creator of the drink the oh Shanity is what
(15:53):
we call it. And anyway, she's having a special guest
at a restaurant. Our friend John Rich, and he's doing
a whiskey signing is Redneck Rivierra Whiskey, which, by the way,
you know, I'm not the biggest whiskey drinker, but you
know what, I like this whiskey and it's fun and
it's all about freedom and fun when it comes to
John Rich. And anyway, welcome both of you the program, Wendy,
(16:16):
Welcome back John Rich, my brother. I love the new song.
Do it for the party. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Appreciate it. Sean'm good to be on with you again, brother.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You're a good man, Wendy. And now how's the o'shanity
doing down there?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Oh, we're just waiting for you to come down, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now you're in Tampa, Florida, right and uh that's awesome. Okay,
all right, So tell me how this all came about, Wendy.
Where you hooked up with John Rich and you're gonna
have a whiskey signing, which I think is an awesome idea.
I've been to the Redneck Rivier era bar in Vegas
with John Rich and him and and Big Kenny were
(16:51):
also playing. It was so much fun. That night, Linda
was being really weird dancing by herself. But otherwise it was.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay, that is that is a false representation my behavior.
That evening. Some people when they hear John Rich play
amazing music like to dance like other people were on
the dance floor. Unlike you, you were holding up a
wall that was doing just fine on it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I was holding up the wall and holding up my
drink and enjoying the music. And maybe that was the problem.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Maybe you can't hold your with.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, that's not the that's not It has nothing to
do with holding up a wall. I was just relaxing
and chilling in, enjoying the show, you know. And then
I look out on the dance floor and there are
couples and then you dancing alone. But I digress. Anyway,
how's the o'ceanity doing, Wendy.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Linda? Okay, So we have a rap that represents Redneck riviera.
And because John Rich was coming to town and needed
a place to eat lunch, they asked us if we
would accommodate him. And we sell his whiskey and we
love it and we have different cocktails with it. And
(17:53):
I think my husband is making some whiskey infused dish
for John tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Really, let's talk about that. What is he making for John?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's some surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I thought you're married. You can't get that out of
your husband.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I'm not I'm not good in the kitchen, Sean. So
I leave it to my husband and my son.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, all I know, John Riches, I know you're gonna
have a great time. People have to go out to this.
What time is this all happening.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I think three o'clock, John.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
This is tomorrow, June third, Clearwater, Florida. What is the
address of where this is going to take place?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
It's two four or five four McMullen Booth Road and Clearwater.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And by the way, the website is Outpost sixty one
to one eatery. And you got to try an o'ceanity,
mister rich So you've got different blends of this whiskey,
and it comes straight from your your grandma, and it's
a great story and it's doing phenomenal. Please tell me.
Not ready to sell this thing because so many people
they build up a big company and then they say,
(18:52):
you know what, I'll take five billion dollars a walk away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
No, I'm really enjoying it, Sean. It's one of those
brands that you know I own the brand, not an
endorser of it. It's actually mine And you know my
platform is really simple, God, family, and country. If you
like those three things, this brand will not disappoint you.
In a world full of brands that continue to disappoint people,
mine is one that will not if you support those things.
(19:16):
It's one hundred percent made in the USA, one hundred
percent American glass courts. It is extremely smooth, it's affordable.
It's an over ten thousand stores. Redneckrivia dot com has
all the stores on the store locator. But I'm looking
forward to coming to Tampa tomorrow because it's going to
be a huge day. I'm going to see Wendy in
between when we sit down and have a little something
(19:37):
to eat and meet a few people. But I start
the day off at one o'clock in clear Water at
the Walmart store Highway nineteen one to two thirty. I'll
be signing bottles. Now imagine that, Sean John Rich and
the Walmart store signing bottles of Rednick Riviera whiskey. Can
I get a hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm surprised that Walmart's letting you do it. I didn't
even know Walmart sold spirits. I know some tell some
of the big change due I didn't know Walmart did.
That's great to know they do.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So that's that's one o'clock and clear Water Highway nineteen.
And then I go see Wendy and we hang out
for a while. And then I go to Oldsmar at
four point thirty on Tampa Road and I do another
big signing at that Walmart right there on Oldsmar four thirty,
and listen. I do these signings. I don't do them
all the time. But one of my favorite things is
how many veterans come through the line. I have active
(20:25):
duty guys that come through the line, moms, dads, regular
everyday American people that show up in droves and I
get to shake their hand, take pictures with them. You know,
Seana just reminds you of the incredible I call those
people the elites. We always talk about the elites are
doing this and the elites are doing that. Now, the
real American elites are the ones that put the key
(20:47):
in the ignition. Every morning, they go to work and
they take care of their family, and they love their
country and they try to build something better for the
people that are going to be after them. That's the
real American elites. Those are the ones that I made
this whiskey for rednick of Era.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They're the unsung heroes. They are the people that make
this country great. They get up, they work hard, they
pay by the play by the rules. They believe in God, faith, family,
and and fund uh and this is part of it.
And they pay their taxes, obey the laws, and they
provide goods and services for other people. They raise their
kids and go to church on Sunday. Those are the
(21:23):
people that I that I identify with. All right, So what's
an oceanity? Just so John Rich can get up to speed, Wendy.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
Okay, So if you remember back, maybe a couple of
phone calls, you told me that you drink a certain beer,
a very light beer, and you put a you put an.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Ice cube in it.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
So I had a cure picture drawn of you.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I saw this, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
You saw it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I did you.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
But we're trying to get you on a little different beer.
So maybe something like a frew or something you could try,
and then when you come in will we'll we'll give
give you all kinds of different beers to try. But
so people come in and ask for the shanity with
the ice cube in it, any beer.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Maybe I should come up with a line. Maybe John
Richie can help me and I could. I should call
it O'shanity vodka. What do you think would that work?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
You would sell a lot of it. But I have
this vision in my head of Sean Hannity drinking a
very light beer with an ice cube in it, and
I have to imagine Sean, tell me if this is
true or not. When you sip that beer, your pinkies
are up?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
All right? Are you done making fun? I've had the
pleasure of hanging with you till you know the sun
comes up, so you know that I can hang at
least as well as the next guy. You're a tough
guy to hang with. I will say that now. The
reason is, I'll tell you very bluntly, why is because
you know, at the time I was on a diet
like I usually am, and I was trying to keep
(22:52):
the weight off that I didn't want to drink a
heavy beer.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Well, it's understandable. You are good though people. People don't
know that you're like basically an m guy. At this point,
I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley.
I can tell you that much. I think you look
great and you're now.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You would lose, but I could never hit you no
matter what. Didn't matter. If you came at me with
all you got, I wouldn't hit you. I wouldn't. I
just I love you too much.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I love you too, buddy.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, so you got a busy weekend. Now looks for
everyone to get information because you're all over different parts
of Florida tomorrow. How do they find out where and
when you are and when you're going to be with Wendy.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
So it'll be posted on my Twitter which is at
John Rich or on True Social at John Rich Again.
It's tomorrow one o'clock to two thirty at the Walmart
and clear Water Highway nineteen, I'm signing bottles of Rednick
Rivero whiskey. Then I'll be with Wendy around three three
thirties that in that timeframe, hanging out with them at
(23:47):
her Great Restaurant. And then four thirty at the Walmart
and Oldsmar Tampa Road. Four thirty to six, I'll be
signing bottles there. So everybody come out and see me.
Bring your friends and family and let's get a picture
and celebrate our freedom tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Bringing your guitar with you, just asking I.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Don't need a guitar in a store like that, I
may just break out into song or just at the
top of my lungs with no guitar. Man, I can
pull it with nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Wow, there's a man confident what he does. Wendy, how's
business working for you? Guys?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Business is very good, Thank you. And it's always booming
after I'm speaking with you, so I'm beaming ear to
ear to be on the phone with both of you.
It's such a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We love you, Wendy. We wish you the best Outpost
sixty one one eatery and tap house. You don't want
to miss it. John Rich. Go to John's website get
all the details. He'll be in in and around the
Tampa Clearwater area all day tomorrow. Thank you both. Appreciate
you both being with us.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Thank you all right.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Eight hundred nine point one Seawan our number if you
want to be a part of the program. Dennis is
in New Jersey. What are you doing in New Jersey?
Dennis Sean, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Pleasure to you?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh, the pleasure is all mine. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell up a little bit
about this feeling. Let the house, Speaker McCarthey is pushing through.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I'm hearing a lot of different viewpoints from both sides
of the aisle. It's good, it's bad, it's you know,
and it's hard to get a fix on it. But
I do have a comparison that I would I can
make to it if you let me.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I was in New York City fireman, so a lot
of times, you know, we would have to force doors,
open the door for the engine company, let them in
there with the water, put the fire out, so the
enforceable entry team would take their tools. We'd work on
the door and we would try to get what we
call the purchase, just a little tinty crack at the
(25:41):
tool in the door as best as we could, and
then we start slowly opening it up so the engine
can push in there with a line. And to me,
that's what I think Speaker McCarthey has done. He's got
the crack of the door opened with this bill.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Listen, that's the historical perspective, and I give a lot
of I seed a lot of credibility to New King
Rich and that was his argument that, you know, what
Kevin said is true, that this is the largest cut
that's ever actually taken place in history. You know, my, my,
you know, very very measured argument back is this is
(26:22):
also the biggest deficit and debt we've ever had.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah, you're right, it is. But we have to start somewhere,
and I think I hope that this is a good start.
They're going to push the door open a little by
a little and eventually hopefully the Republicans will get in
there with a line and put this fire out.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We can all hope on that part. By the way,
thanks for your years. I have a lot of friends
that are firemen that have been fireman in New York City.
You know, I would try and rib you guys a
little bit, because you know, you guys cook some of
the best meals you could ever imagine. And correct me
at any point if I'm wrong. If you're in a
slow firehouse, you're not too busy. You get twenty four
(26:59):
hours on straight work time, and if nothing's happening, and
you get what's called rack time. All right, So these
guys would be on the rack meaning to get to
sleep a little bit and kate, but wake up quickly
if something happens, and what then you get what forty
eight hours off or seventy two hours off? And then
you go back and morg another day. And then you know,
And I used to give them a hard time. Now
(27:21):
I was just doing it because they're my friends. But then,
you know, then you have to think of one thing,
remember one thing, and that's nine to eleven oh one.
And what were your fellow firefighters doing that day? While
everyone was racing to get the hell out of those buildings,
moving down those stairs as fast as their feet would
take them, your fellow firefighters were going up in the
other direction. And I'm pretty convinced a lot of them
(27:43):
knew that this was it for them.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh yeah, definitely. I mean I was there that day
and we were driving over the Verrezana Bridge. I was
the show for that day, and I'm looking at the
cows lit up like Roman candles, and I told my lieutenant,
I said a lot of guys are going to die today.
That's what happened. But getting back to the eating part.
My son, he works in the browns So fire House,
(28:06):
one of the busiest companies in the world. And he's
the cook there. He cooks some good meals, so those
guys are happy with him.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh man, what's his specialties? What did he like to make?
A lot?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
He likes to make shrimp tissues. He does a lot
of taco tuesdays, things like that. You know. But I've
had these discussions with my brothers before. I mean, my
father was a fine that two of my brothers were.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So you you've heard friends of yours ribu like I do.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Right, Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
But you know what, when when you guys are needed,
you're earning every penny and then some. H I'm glad
you're retired, though. Thank you for your service, my friend.
God bless you too.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Appreciate you to say and keep doing what you're doing, all.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Right, Dennis, thank you. Look, I've told you all about
ways in these tough economic times to save money. One
way is to make the switch away from big carriers
like Verizon AT and T T and because if you're
using those big carriers, you are overpaying. It's pure and simple. Now,
the average family that makes the switch to pure talk
is saving close to one thousand dollars a year for
(29:11):
the exact same service, meaning they use the same exact
cell towers as the big carriers, the same five G network.
You just save all that money and right now they're
offering unlimited talk, text, and ultra fast five G data
for only twenty bucks a month. Now you're asking about
the coverage. I just explained that the same towers, the
(29:31):
same five G network. Grab your phone doll pound two
to fifty, say the keyword save now, and you'll get
unlimited talk and text, plenty of data, five G data
twenty bucks a month. They have an amazing customer service team.
They'll make it simple, fast and easy, and it's a
veteran owned company. They care about jobs staying right here
in America. Pound two fifty keywords save now from our
(29:52):
friends at Pure Talk for the exact same service. Torpedoes
of truth at a wall of lies.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
