Actor John Ratzenberger joins Sean to celebrate the re-release of his 2010 faith-based film What If, directed by The Chosen creator Dallas Jenkins. They discuss the power of storytelling, family, and faith in media. Plus, Sean sounds off on government corruption—responding to listeners on Russiagate, the 22nd Amendment, and the notion of Trump earning a "third term" after what Democrats did to sabotage his first. In a touching moment, Sean reconnects with a caller he helped transition out of homelessness. The hour ends with raw commentary on the Cincinnati mob assault and the disturbing inaction of local leaders.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's
(00:02):
our toll free telephone number if you want to be
a part of the program at SA eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.
I've been trying to read the Bible. They have a
way to read the Bible in a year. I decided
to do it in two years, and I still fall
away behind. But one of the reasons I fall away
behind is I get wrapped up, especially late at night,
(00:25):
watching shows like The Chosen. I have watched The Chosen
from start to finish at least three and a half times. Linda,
you've watch the series. You love it? Right, Not as
many times as you, but yes, I have. The History
Channel has a great series called The Bible. I'm watching now.
(00:46):
I never knew this existed, and I should know because
I'm friends with Rome Downey and Mark Burnett and I
like both of them. I did not know that they
did a series, and I've been watching it all week.
I only found it this week called ad and it
starts with the Crucifixion and then moves forward. But I
love those shows and they're pretty amazing. And in a
(01:07):
second one going to be joined by John Ratzenberger. You
might remember him from the Joe known as Cheers, and
he was the mailman on that show. And he's such
a great actor. He's so good. Anyway, Dallas Jenkins, who
does The Chosen, which I would have to argue is
my favorite. Now, my favorite movie would be The Passion
(01:28):
of the Christ by Mel Gibson. I can't watch a
lot of these episodes without you tearing up and tears
getting in my eyes. It's so well done, and if
you're a Christian, it kind of brings your faith out.
It's pretty cool. Anyway. So John Ratzenberger joined Dallas Jenkins,
who does the Chosen, for a revisit to his film
What If, where John Ratzenberger plays the Angel. By the way,
(01:50):
I'm sure he's no angel in real life. We'll find
out in a minute. But the film came out fifteen
years ago, prior to the fame from the season. Anyway,
the tickets now could be purchased at Fathom Entertainment. Let
me play for you. Dallas Jenkins, who's the creator of
The Chosen, talking about the fifteenth anniversary and release of
(02:13):
What If. Here's what he said.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hey, there, I'm Dallas Jenkins, and you might know me
as the creator of The Chosen. But fifteen years ago
I made a movie that my kids tell me is
still the best movie that I've made, and it's called
what If. What If tells the story of a man
who gets a chance to see what his life would
have looked like if he had made the right choice
to follow his faith.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Wore you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm an angel sen here to help you straighten out
your life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Okay, it's got a wonderful cast. Kevin Sorbel, Christy Swanson,
John Razenberger, Debbie Ryan. We got together to reminisce about
the film, to talk about some insider stories and behind
the scenes in both that no one's heard before, and
we're going to put that with the movie in theaters
to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, we walked away. We broke two hearts, Wendy's and his.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Spent a few years thinking that I was happy, but
I didn't know what happy meant.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Check out What If in theater's coming.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Since you know you're pretty tough for an engine, what
do you rank they send someone important.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The fact that I'm sitting here babysitting you should tell
you all. I right anyway, joining us now. John Ratzenberger,
he played the angel in that film. I mean that's
pretty cool. You know, I've only recently gone back to
a movie theater. I can't even tell you how many
years it had been since i'd been back, And when
The Chosen Season five came out, and it came out
(03:27):
on three consecutive weekends, I went to two of the
three of them, and I had a great time. I
just enjoyed the experience. I like the more comfortable seats.
I like the fact that you can get any food
you want, and of course I love butter popcorn and
you get to put your own butter on it, which
I didn't know had occurred since the last time I
really had been there. How you been, How are you?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Good? Yeah, I'm just breeching along with the breeze here.
I was Southern California, but I play a tow truck driver.
It was also an angel, and that's what's lept out
the toad trucks aspect of it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, well, I mean it's pretty cool. I mean it's
not often that a film gets re released like this,
so that's got to be pretty cool for you. Now
you're most well known for your role as Cliff Claven
and Cheers. I mean you had a great run with
that series. How'd you like that?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Oh? Yeah, Cheers and eleven years and Cheers. I spent
ten years over.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
In Europe prior to Yeers and now well mostly Pixar
and cartoon voices, so I've a been run at it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah. How did you get close to Dallas Jenkins? How
do you know him? And what do you think of
the series The Chosen?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Well, Dallas just called me. He called me to do
the what If? And I said, yeah, I like the
aspect of an angel was a toad truck driver and
it chosen. I haven't seen all of it, but I
I like what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, it's definitely a series worth watching. Now did you
go You're gonna go back in the theater this weekend
and watch it yourself? And last question, do you do
you stay in touch with the people that I know?
Normany passed away, But do you stay in touch with
the people from Cheers back in the day, because that
was like the biggest show on television at the time.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Yeah, No, I run it into them occasionally. To Ted, we.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Occasionally I run into him, But you know, we don't
keep it touch at all. Yeah, man, it's I like
to but we geographically well it's a part.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah. Well anyway, I hope people go and check it out.
It's two nights only. It's happening on August fifth and
August seventh, and anyway, fifteen years later, Whatef returns to theaters. Anyway,
John Rozenberger, thank you. So I appreciate you being with us,
not at all.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Eight hundred nine four one, Shawn is a number if
you want to be a part of the program. Let's
get to our busy telephone. Stewart, North Carolina this Friday
on the Sean Hennity Show, Hi, hey.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Son, thanks for taking what call. I know you saw
Corey Booker's tirade the other day. I was listening to
another radio show. A guy called it a meltdown. I said,
that is not a meltdown. That is a strictly performative outrage.
He's doing there. It looked almost identical to what he
did a couple of weeks ago when he was before there.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
He said, muster speak Rocker, nota laba blah blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And then whenever he did with the uh, with philibuster,
which is the only thing Corey Booker is going to
be remembered for because he's done almost nothing impactful legislation.
He's just going to be remembered as a guy who
talked for the longest. And I said, why not, He's.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Got a big mouth. And he sat there on the steps.
I think it was Keem Jefferies. Remember that guy started
singing and they all started singing with him. Least thought
we have that singing video when there was, when there
was on the steps of the Capitol, the little sit
in another prof it will build this world from love.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I will, don't you bed.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Yetta dii yadad a.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Die.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I want to die. I die listening. I can't take
it anymore. Oh these people, it was like a tiny
little crowd. It's in the twenty five hours on the
on the center floor, just to break a record. Nobody
cares about him. He has no power at all. Thank god.
This guy thinks he's going to be president. That's what
(07:42):
he thinks.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Well I say, I say, let him have that record,
And I mean, who better to have it? Because no
one likes the sound of their voice better than him,
or maybe Barack Obama.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, Wall, said Stuart North Carolina. We appreciate it, buddy,
Thank you. You have a great weekend. All right? Uh
in my free state of Florida. What's going on, Cindy?
How are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You got it?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Sean? We love it here. We moved here from Liberal
Connecticut about seven years ago, and we love it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
By the way, did the tax people harass you and
follow you and you have to prove your innocence like
everybody else?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Oh? No, this is the free state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I actually talked to Governor DeSantis about that. I mean,
because the idea that they're like more New York State
tax officials in Florida than in New York State. They
do everything possible to push you out of your state,
and then they chase you because they still want your money,
(08:48):
even if you don't live there at all, or work
there at all, or make any money there at all,
like in my case, they'll still try and chase you.
I had to hire accountants and lawyers out the Yazoo
to do this the right way.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We can't allow any more Democrat voting people here. That's
the bottom line. But the reason I'm calling, I'm calling
about Russia Gate and Crossfire hurricane that you were talking
about earlier, and something occurred to me, I don't know
if anything could be done like this, but given how
much lawlessness and corrupt things that they did. But the Democrats,
(09:25):
I call them, I wonder because they destroyed Trump's first term,
if he could be awarded a third term because of
what they did, that would scare the Democrats straight.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Don't you think they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'd be fine with it. You know what the battle
cry would be. You know, this is the irony with
all that we've learned in the last two weeks. The
irony is Democrats ran on, well, Donald Trump is a
Nazi fascist and and he's Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini and
that was their closing argument. And you know, and then
(10:07):
they said threat to democracy over and over again. How
ironic is it with the news the last two weeks.
Who's the real threat to democracy? It's them?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
They are they are absolutely they want communism, That's what
they want. Yeah, but look, the thing, no matter what happens.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Look, the twenty second Amendment is pretty clear. No person
shall be elected to the office of the President more
than twice. No person who has held the office of
President or acted as president for more than two years
of a term to which some other person was elected
president shall be elected to the office of President more
(10:48):
than once. But this article shall not apply to any
person holding the office a president when this article was
proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person
who may be holding the officer president or acting as
president during the term within which this article becomes operative
from holding the office of President or acting as president.
(11:10):
The remainder of such term now.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Would be awarded.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
He wouldn't be elected.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well, I don't know how you. I don't know how
you get away from the election election part. How do
you pull that off?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Because of their corruption and what they did to him
for his first term, it's.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Certainly a strong A strong argument can be made. I
mean they they My interpretation of all the data is
they tried. Number one, they manufactured this phony Russia collusions
story with Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier,
(11:49):
and that was first designed to prevent him from winning.
A republic can't survive if we have hostile actors from
within like this undermining integrity of elections, which they've.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Done I think if they got that sort of punishment
as a result of what they did, they would never
do it again.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's cold. The punishment would be Donald Trump gets another term.
That would be a punishment for them. Their heads, would
you know, turn like the like Glinda Blair on The
Exorcist and they projectile vomit out that disgusting green puke
drink that that pee looking drink, disgusting dark green puke
(12:30):
drink that Linda drinks.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Just throw bags over our heads and go on our day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
All right, we appreciate you still drinking that crap. By
the way, I haven't seen you drinking, do you.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I had an avocado and banana shake yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It was delish, an avocado and banana shake, that's right,
with a little.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Bit of protein powder in collagen and all the other good.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Stuff, you know. When I heard this way, which I had,
I had who tee bone steaks, and I had one
organic turkey let us wrap with a little bit of
mayo and tomato with about maybe three pieces of turkey.
That's what I all day yesterday. That's it.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Thank God, aren't you hungry?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
No, it's great. And guess what I've eaten so far? Today.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
What have you eaten so far today?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Three eggs with a ton of smothered grilled onions.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Oh my gosh, you must smell the dish.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I listens around me. Poor uncle James, no such thing
as poor Uncle James.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
That poor guy can't even have a pickle or an
all with me. You're having a bowl of onions.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I made him breakfast with me. He's that gets a
colonoscopy and goes up two pounds I'm sorry, three pounds
in the two days after he had it. He went
up three pounds in two days. And I'm still cooking
for him every day.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
You know that muscle weighs more than fat. Right, he's
just working.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He's not putting on No, he's I'm putting on muscle.
He's not putting on any muscle.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
I don't know about that, Shan.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know what it is? He cheats and then when
you call him out on it, he lies about it. Oh,
let him live a little.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Rock?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, okay, what adjacenty for lunch today? What do you
have for lunch? Fourteen ounce for a bye? Are you
having for lunch today?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, absolutely? And French fries and by the way, for
the records, I buy my entire team lunch every day.
You see buying steak and sushi every day. Am I
gotta go bankrupt on this every day?
Speaker 6 (14:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, I only do good stuff on Fridays. Okay, my
weight has been a consistent one sixty for a couple
of years. Have I ever ever once put a restriction
on what you all can buy for lunch? Ever? No,
And it's a good thing you don't. Oh man, you know,
I don't know any other hosts that does this. Just
for the record, and I buy my TV team dinner.
(14:55):
But there is a method to my madness. I don't
want you to leave you a desk. Well, I don't
leave my desk. I mean I work out and I
sit here and I just prep my ass off every
day and then get, you know, criticized online if I
say the wrong word. Really irritated me. Come in, somebody, mate,
I am so angry at what happened to these two
(15:18):
people in this Cincinnati brawl. And the worst part of
all of this is your corrupt state run legacy media mob, ABC, CBS, NBC.
They haven't covered this mob attack against this woman Holly,
and literally she was blindsided with a punch and knocked
(15:39):
her out. Senator Moreno got permission to post their pictures.
The fact that this woman is even alive as a miracle.
This other poor guy is getting punched in the head,
kicked in the head, brutally beaten. All these people are
surrounding the people getting beaten up with their cell phones
(16:00):
and videos. Only one person, only one decided to call
the police. This isn't worthy of coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC.
I thought I thought they didn't like the insurrection, Linda.
They don't like insurrection, right.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Oh, I hear that they don't. There's firmly against it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Okay. And then you've got this woman, Victoria Parks. What
is she on the city council? We have heard Cunningham
council woman. I think I do a pretty good Billy Cunningham.
You like my Bill Cunninger, Sean Hannity, you're a great American.
God bloss you god blows America. I want a full report.
Pretty good bed.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
He actually calls me the other day he goes, do
I really said it like that? And I go yeah,
And Victoria Parks, Oh, and if you watch him in
a studio, he's like he stands like ten miles away
from the microphone, which is what you really should do
when broadcasting. I'm probably the only person that eats the
microphone because I just can't help myself unless you're.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Distracted and looking at your phone, and then I have
to say, look at the microphone.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
You never see me, so very rarely do you see me.
That's a good thing, I know, when you're leaning. Victoria
Parks on the city Council writes on Facebook that they
pretty much that they deserved it. Did you see the
comments that she made the woman, Yeah, she's by the way,
the woman who was beaten, Holly. He returned home to her,
(17:20):
She returned to her home in Russia. I mean, when
when things are better in Russia then Cincinnati, Ohio. We've
got a problem now. Victoria Parks was given an opportunity
to pull back on those remarks that well, they deserved it.
And here's what she said. I have the freedom of speech,
(17:41):
and and you know, I am a.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Night when when I wrote on the internet, I meant
you that's the way I felt.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And I'm not going to back down from it right now.
I'm not going to back down from it right now.
What we're gonna wait, maybe a month from now, she's
gonna realize the brutal beating mob attack that nearly killed
two people is something that shouldn't take place in a
civil society. I need do I need to educate you
about that. Unbelievable is changing and.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
She needs to resign. It's repulsive. This whole idea that
we can't talk about this and we can't talk about
the people involved because they want to play some sort
of politics game is a bunch of nonsense. This is
one human being on the ground getting the kick crapped
out of her, and she had nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
She just wasn't there. She got blind. No, she actually
went over to try.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
To help the other guy.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I know, but I'm saying, this guy's getting crap. Did
do you see how many times he got punched and
kicked in that head?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Of course I did. And then I saw how the
person in charge of his bail release let him out
on four hundred bucks and said, oh, well, it's not
his fault. The police chief, I quote says it's not
his fault. He's not culpable. It's the bartender's fault because
they overserved him.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I can just tell you this thing in Cincinnati. It
makes my blood boil, it really does. How dare this woman?
And by the way, you know where the mayor has
been the whole time? Yeah, the mayor has been gone
the whole time. Oh but he shows up today. How
nice of him? How many days later?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Daylight dollars short? It's like, you know, Pete Boudha, Judge Pothole,
Pete Joe Biden, you know Kamala Harris couldn't go to
the border. I mean that interview last night was an
unmitigated disaster. Anyway, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program, must
get to our busy, busy telephones. Let's say hi to
Steven in Connecticut. What's up, Steven? How are you glad
(19:40):
you called?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Good beyond Sean, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well? I just kind of want to address something that
you had touched on earlier in the week, and then,
of course, obviously with the burned bags and all the
other things that are kind of developing, I hope that
there's some disis sake that kind of comes out as
a result bolt of it all. And yeah, I'm addressing
actually interesting enough. The leftist agenda, which is, you know,
(20:07):
basically pretty pretty historic and pretty common, their desire to
basically lie at every turn and steal and in some
places that obviously destroy this great niche and of ours.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So I can't believe they didn't burn the burn bags
and that's going to nail them all. I really can't.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I'm really thankful. I think it's a divine intervention, very
similar to what was a year ago when when our
great president was nearly taken out. So I think it's
all all their whole, their whole agenda is basically to kill,
steel and destroy and to store truth.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, anyway, I appreciate you being with us, my friend.
Thank you. Eight hundred and ninety four one showing if
you want to be a part of the program, will
stay with another Steve, this one in California. The United
Socialist Utopia of Gavin Newsom. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Sean?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm good man. What's going on with you?
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Not much? Brother? So I spoke with you about a
month ago. I'm the gentleman that that I shared my
story with you. I was the one gentleman who's living
in my car for a while. You offered to help
me get my apartment and get into an apartment.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I do remember, and I know Katie worked that out
for you. How are you doing because you have a
young child, if I recall.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I do, I do.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
The level of gratitude and the level of appreciation that
I have for you, like is indescribable. I can't, I
can't even express like how grateful I am and how
thankful I am for you just for offering that. You know,
when we had that conversation, you you know, you you
cut me off, and which I am thankful for. I
(21:58):
don't really care, but like you know, you you you interjected,
you were like, hey, we I'm gonna try and solve
your problem. Like I was crying, like you know, like
I could cry right now with just just how grateful
I am right now because you really you did well.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You let me remind people because and tell me if
I'm off. You have a job, right you work? What
is your job again?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
I work for I work for a garage door company,
a nationwide garage door company out here in Sacramento, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And about how much do you make an hour?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I make right now? I'm about twenty two dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And you were living in your car to save money.
But you had recently been through a divorce and you're
never going to be able to see what you if.
I recall you have a son. How old your son?
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Yeh, he just turned three?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, And I said, you have to have a place
to bring your son. Look, yeah, every child needs both
parents in some capacity, unless, of course it's it for
whatever reason, is not possible. I deally you need to
be in this kid's life. I'm not going to get
into your personal life with your ex wife. That's meaningless
(23:05):
to me. I mean that's between you and her.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And if you don't have a place to stay, no,
there's no child services that's ever going to let your
son stay with you in a car. So you got
your apartment. Now, are you able to sustain it based
on how much you you're making and you getting other
sources of income?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I did. I did enough research.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I found I found a solid apartment, uh, one that
I can afford like safely. And the part the complex actually,
you know, they gave me a little cut on the
original rate that they were offering. When the when the
apartment was on the market. You know, they brought it down.
They brought the monthly rent down a little bit, increased
(23:45):
the deposit.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So it made it a.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Lot more feasible for me, a little lot more reasonable,
you know, for me to for me to live on
my own. You know, I make pretty I make pretty
decent money compared to you know, compared to a lot
of other people that you know that live. And I mean,
I'm blessed, absolutely blessed to have to be in the
position that I am right now. And it's just, you know,
(24:09):
a good portion of that is to you, man. I
just I cannot listen.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I have had people in my life help me, and
I'm in a position now where you know, I can
occasionally do nice things for people. I try to do
as many as I possibly can. And all this is
is a bridge for you. And now I want you
to take the ball. Keep your good job in garage stuff,
(24:35):
Maybe start a little business on the side, get your
own little customer base. Maybe you can build out your
own little company and or find other jobs. Maybe you
know in the hours that you're not with your son,
and just try to put in as many hours. There's
only two ways to save money, spend less, and bring
in more income. I've been there when I had no
(24:56):
money my early twenties and mid twenties. I mean, all
I did was work, and I worked seven days a week.
I didn't have a kid at the time, so I
didn't have that complication in my life. But you know,
work as much as you can, but also be as
good a father as possible. That's my advice to you.
It sounds like you're doing great if we helped a
little bit where I'm grateful that I could. Thank you
(25:19):
for your kind words. But it was a pleasure for
me to do it. And I love good news stories.
I love when things work out for people. I'm very
happy for you, and keep up the good work.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Dude. Thank you again.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
I'm just going to conclude on this.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
Man, I just just thank you, just simply thank you.
You've given me. This is a life changer for me, period,
point blank, end of story. Like and I've always been
hungry and motivated, and this just fuels that fire even
more so.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Again, I mean, look, listen.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You're very very well welcome. Here's my advice. Sometime in
your life, I'm down. At some point in your life,
there's going to be somebody that comes to you that
needs help. Just pay it forward that way, Okay, And
if we all did that, I think we'd all be
a better off. You know, you don't need all these
HR books if you just follow the Golden rule. Love
(26:14):
God with all your heart, mind, body and soul, your neighbors, yourself,
treat others the way you want to be treated. Nobody's perfect,
We've all sinned and fallen short. But when you can
do something for somebody, always, always try to look for
that opportunity. We'll glad you're doing well. God bless you,
God bless your son and your family, and we wish
you the best. And that's a good story to end
(26:34):
in on a Friday, right, Linda, Absolutely, Linda wants so
what's she like in my ear? When do I get
my free apartment?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
What?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, I don't really believe in free. I have a
little bit of a different mindset on those things.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You don't think I made the right decision to do that.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
I think it was your decision to make and you
made the one that made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I didn't ask you that question. I said, do you
think I made the wrong decision? Would you have made
a different one.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
If I had the money to do something like that
for someone, Yeah, yes, I would have made a different decision.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
What would your decision have been?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
You know, I come from a very poor background. We
never took government assistance. We worked all of us as
as young as we were, as soon as we could.
My dad got hurt when I was really young. It
was very very hard, and nobody ever helped us. And
we made it, and it taught us one very very
important thing that was to work very very hard all
(27:25):
the time.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You wouldn't have helped this job, two jobs, three jobs,
four jobs, Yeah, it would have helped them. Joy Well.
I did give him the advice to do that, but
he needed to get into an apartment so he could
see his kid.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Again.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Your hard, your hard. You're a hard core, ma'am.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I'm from it.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
That's a hard core. Just because somebody to help you
doesn't mean that, you know you, It wouldn't have been
a good thing if they did.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Listen, everybody's in time.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
As I'm just saying, it's a little hard, a little
little like for example, if I see homeless people, I
give them money. You never did, absolutely not. I always
give them a lecture, though it's always that I.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Asked to them, I will forgive them food, And in
New York City, I have given food to many homeless people.
I have worked in homeless shelters.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The problem is nobody wants the crap food that you're
going to give them.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
But if I give them what you want and they
try to attack me, it's because they want the money
for drugs. So you can't take that risk.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
People promise me that they won't spend the money on
drugs or alcohol, and then I realize the odds are
probably against me, that they probably will, but I walk away.
At least I tried, and then I talked to them
about getting their life together, and sometimes I'll spend a
lot of time with them. I was I was doing
this in front of US seven to eleven recently, and
a guy recognized me and he just sits in on
(28:44):
the whole conversation. He goes, I can't believe you spent
all this time with this guy, Like, well, I've had
people that help me in my life. I'm very grateful
and God's blessed me beyond what I deserve. Right, that's
going to wrap things up for today tonight. Hannah nine
Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Remember all the people
that sign the FIZE applications using the Hillary Clinton bought
(29:08):
and paid for Russian disinformation dossier. Yeah, and then they
all went before Lindsey Graham and say, no, knowing what
we know now, we never would have signed it. And
we're going to play that for you. Also, Devin Nuness,
Jason Chaffit's Miranda Devine, Tommy larn Jimmy Fayla, and the
new Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate. Is he within reach nine
(29:29):
Eastern tonight, Hannity. We'll see them back here on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
All right, news round up in Information Overload Hour. Here's
(00:02):
our toll free telephone number if you want to be
a part of the program at SA eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean if you want to join us.
I've been trying to read the Bible. They have a
way to read the Bible in a year. I decided
to do it in two years, and I still fall
away behind. But one of the reasons I fall away
behind is I get wrapped up, especially late at night,
(00:25):
watching shows like The Chosen. I have watched The Chosen
from start to finish at least three and a half times. Linda,
you've watch the series. You love it? Right, Not as
many times as you, but yes, I have. The History
Channel has a great series called The Bible. I'm watching now.
(00:46):
I never knew this existed, and I should know because
I'm friends with Rome Downey and Mark Burnett and I
like both of them. I did not know that they
did a series, and I've been watching it all week.
I only found it this week called ad and it
starts with the Crucifixion and then moves forward. But I
love those shows and they're pretty amazing. And in a
(01:07):
second one going to be joined by John Ratzenberger. You
might remember him from the Joe known as Cheers, and
he was the mailman on that show. And he's such
a great actor. He's so good. Anyway, Dallas Jenkins, who
does The Chosen, which I would have to argue is
my favorite. Now, my favorite movie would be The Passion
(01:28):
of the Christ by Mel Gibson. I can't watch a
lot of these episodes without you tearing up and tears
getting in my eyes. It's so well done, and if
you're a Christian, it kind of brings your faith out.
It's pretty cool. Anyway. So John Ratzenberger joined Dallas Jenkins,
who does the Chosen, for a revisit to his film
What If, where John Ratzenberger plays the Angel. By the way,
(01:50):
I'm sure he's no angel in real life. We'll find
out in a minute. But the film came out fifteen
years ago, prior to the fame from the season. Anyway,
the tickets now could be purchased at Fathom Entertainment. Let
me play for you. Dallas Jenkins, who's the creator of
The Chosen, talking about the fifteenth anniversary and release of
(02:13):
What If. Here's what he said.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hey, there, I'm Dallas Jenkins, and you might know me
as the creator of The Chosen. But fifteen years ago
I made a movie that my kids tell me is
still the best movie that I've made, and it's called
what If. What If tells the story of a man
who gets a chance to see what his life would
have looked like if he had made the right choice
to follow his faith.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Wore you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm an angel sen here to help you straighten out
your life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Okay, it's got a wonderful cast. Kevin Sorbel, Christy Swanson,
John Razenberger, Debbie Ryan. We got together to reminisce about
the film, to talk about some insider stories and behind
the scenes in both that no one's heard before, and
we're going to put that with the movie in theaters
to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, we walked away. We broke two hearts, Wendy's and his.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Spent a few years thinking that I was happy, but
I didn't know what happy meant.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Check out What If in theater's coming.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Since you know you're pretty tough for an engine, what
do you rank they send someone important.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The fact that I'm sitting here babysitting you should tell
you all. I right anyway, joining us now. John Ratzenberger,
he played the angel in that film. I mean that's
pretty cool. You know, I've only recently gone back to
a movie theater. I can't even tell you how many
years it had been since i'd been back, And when
The Chosen Season five came out, and it came out
(03:27):
on three consecutive weekends, I went to two of the
three of them, and I had a great time. I
just enjoyed the experience. I like the more comfortable seats.
I like the fact that you can get any food
you want, and of course I love butter popcorn and
you get to put your own butter on it, which
I didn't know had occurred since the last time I
really had been there. How you been, How are you?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Good? Yeah, I'm just breeching along with the breeze here.
I was Southern California, but I play a tow truck driver.
It was also an angel, and that's what's lept out
the toad trucks aspect of it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, well, I mean it's pretty cool. I mean it's
not often that a film gets re released like this,
so that's got to be pretty cool for you. Now
you're most well known for your role as Cliff Claven
and Cheers. I mean you had a great run with
that series. How'd you like that?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Oh? Yeah, Cheers and eleven years and Cheers. I spent
ten years over.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
In Europe prior to Yeers and now well mostly Pixar
and cartoon voices, so I've a been run at it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah. How did you get close to Dallas Jenkins? How
do you know him? And what do you think of
the series The Chosen?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Well, Dallas just called me. He called me to do
the what If? And I said, yeah, I like the
aspect of an angel was a toad truck driver and
it chosen. I haven't seen all of it, but I
I like what I've seen.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, it's definitely a series worth watching. Now did you
go You're gonna go back in the theater this weekend
and watch it yourself? And last question, do you do
you stay in touch with the people that I know?
Normany passed away, But do you stay in touch with
the people from Cheers back in the day, because that
was like the biggest show on television at the time.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Yeah, No, I run it into them occasionally. To Ted, we.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Occasionally I run into him, But you know, we don't
keep it touch at all. Yeah, man, it's I like
to but we geographically well it's a part.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah. Well anyway, I hope people go and check it out.
It's two nights only. It's happening on August fifth and
August seventh, and anyway, fifteen years later, Whatef returns to theaters. Anyway,
John Rozenberger, thank you. So I appreciate you being with us,
not at all.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Eight hundred nine four one, Shawn is a number if
you want to be a part of the program. Let's
get to our busy telephone. Stewart, North Carolina this Friday
on the Sean Hennity Show, Hi, hey.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Son, thanks for taking what call. I know you saw
Corey Booker's tirade the other day. I was listening to
another radio show. A guy called it a meltdown. I said,
that is not a meltdown. That is a strictly performative outrage.
He's doing there. It looked almost identical to what he
did a couple of weeks ago when he was before there.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
He said, muster speak Rocker, nota laba blah blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And then whenever he did with the uh, with philibuster,
which is the only thing Corey Booker is going to
be remembered for because he's done almost nothing impactful legislation.
He's just going to be remembered as a guy who
talked for the longest. And I said, why not, He's.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Got a big mouth. And he sat there on the steps.
I think it was Keem Jefferies. Remember that guy started
singing and they all started singing with him. Least thought
we have that singing video when there was, when there
was on the steps of the Capitol, the little sit
in another prof it will build this world from love.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I will, don't you bed.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Yetta dii yadad a.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Die.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I want to die. I die listening. I can't take
it anymore. Oh these people, it was like a tiny
little crowd. It's in the twenty five hours on the
on the center floor, just to break a record. Nobody
cares about him. He has no power at all. Thank god.
This guy thinks he's going to be president. That's what
(07:42):
he thinks.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Well I say, I say, let him have that record,
And I mean, who better to have it? Because no
one likes the sound of their voice better than him,
or maybe Barack Obama.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, Wall, said Stuart North Carolina. We appreciate it, buddy,
Thank you. You have a great weekend. All right? Uh
in my free state of Florida. What's going on, Cindy?
How are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You got it?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Sean? We love it here. We moved here from Liberal
Connecticut about seven years ago, and we love it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
By the way, did the tax people harass you and
follow you and you have to prove your innocence like
everybody else?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Oh? No, this is the free state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I actually talked to Governor DeSantis about that. I mean,
because the idea that they're like more New York State
tax officials in Florida than in New York State. They
do everything possible to push you out of your state,
and then they chase you because they still want your money,
(08:48):
even if you don't live there at all, or work
there at all, or make any money there at all,
like in my case, they'll still try and chase you.
I had to hire accountants and lawyers out the Yazoo
to do this the right way.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We can't allow any more Democrat voting people here. That's
the bottom line. But the reason I'm calling, I'm calling
about Russia Gate and Crossfire hurricane that you were talking
about earlier, and something occurred to me, I don't know
if anything could be done like this, but given how
much lawlessness and corrupt things that they did. But the Democrats,
(09:25):
I call them, I wonder because they destroyed Trump's first term,
if he could be awarded a third term because of
what they did, that would scare the Democrats straight.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Don't you think they wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'd be fine with it. You know what the battle
cry would be. You know, this is the irony with
all that we've learned in the last two weeks. The
irony is Democrats ran on, well, Donald Trump is a
Nazi fascist and and he's Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini and
that was their closing argument. And you know, and then
(10:07):
they said threat to democracy over and over again. How
ironic is it with the news the last two weeks.
Who's the real threat to democracy? It's them?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
They are they are absolutely they want communism, That's what
they want. Yeah, but look, the thing, no matter what happens.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Look, the twenty second Amendment is pretty clear. No person
shall be elected to the office of the President more
than twice. No person who has held the office of
President or acted as president for more than two years
of a term to which some other person was elected
president shall be elected to the office of President more
(10:48):
than once. But this article shall not apply to any
person holding the office a president when this article was
proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person
who may be holding the officer president or acting as
president during the term within which this article becomes operative
from holding the office of President or acting as president.
(11:10):
The remainder of such term now.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Would be awarded.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
He wouldn't be elected.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well, I don't know how you. I don't know how
you get away from the election election part. How do
you pull that off?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Because of their corruption and what they did to him
for his first term, it's.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Certainly a strong A strong argument can be made. I
mean they they My interpretation of all the data is
they tried. Number one, they manufactured this phony Russia collusions
story with Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier,
(11:49):
and that was first designed to prevent him from winning.
A republic can't survive if we have hostile actors from
within like this undermining integrity of elections, which they've.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Done I think if they got that sort of punishment
as a result of what they did, they would never
do it again.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's cold. The punishment would be Donald Trump gets another term.
That would be a punishment for them. Their heads, would
you know, turn like the like Glinda Blair on The
Exorcist and they projectile vomit out that disgusting green puke
drink that that pee looking drink, disgusting dark green puke
(12:30):
drink that Linda drinks.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Just throw bags over our heads and go on our day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
All right, we appreciate you still drinking that crap. By
the way, I haven't seen you drinking, do you.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I had an avocado and banana shake yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It was delish, an avocado and banana shake, that's right,
with a little.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Bit of protein powder in collagen and all the other good.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Stuff, you know. When I heard this way, which I had,
I had who tee bone steaks, and I had one
organic turkey let us wrap with a little bit of
mayo and tomato with about maybe three pieces of turkey.
That's what I all day yesterday. That's it.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Thank God, aren't you hungry?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
No, it's great. And guess what I've eaten so far? Today.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
What have you eaten so far today?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Three eggs with a ton of smothered grilled onions.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
Oh my gosh, you must smell the dish.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I listens around me. Poor uncle James, no such thing
as poor Uncle James.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
That poor guy can't even have a pickle or an
all with me. You're having a bowl of onions.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I made him breakfast with me. He's that gets a
colonoscopy and goes up two pounds I'm sorry, three pounds
in the two days after he had it. He went
up three pounds in two days. And I'm still cooking
for him every day.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
You know that muscle weighs more than fat. Right, he's
just working.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He's not putting on No, he's I'm putting on muscle.
He's not putting on any muscle.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
I don't know about that, Shan.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know what it is? He cheats and then when
you call him out on it, he lies about it. Oh,
let him live a little.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Rock?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, okay, what adjacenty for lunch today? What do you
have for lunch? Fourteen ounce for a bye? Are you
having for lunch today?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, absolutely? And French fries and by the way, for
the records, I buy my entire team lunch every day.
You see buying steak and sushi every day. Am I
gotta go bankrupt on this every day?
Speaker 6 (14:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, I only do good stuff on Fridays. Okay, my
weight has been a consistent one sixty for a couple
of years. Have I ever ever once put a restriction
on what you all can buy for lunch? Ever? No,
And it's a good thing you don't. Oh man, you know,
I don't know any other hosts that does this. Just
for the record, and I buy my TV team dinner.
(14:55):
But there is a method to my madness. I don't
want you to leave you a desk. Well, I don't
leave my desk. I mean I work out and I
sit here and I just prep my ass off every
day and then get, you know, criticized online if I
say the wrong word. Really irritated me. Come in, somebody, mate,
I am so angry at what happened to these two
(15:18):
people in this Cincinnati brawl. And the worst part of
all of this is your corrupt state run legacy media mob, ABC, CBS, NBC.
They haven't covered this mob attack against this woman Holly,
and literally she was blindsided with a punch and knocked
(15:39):
her out. Senator Moreno got permission to post their pictures.
The fact that this woman is even alive as a miracle.
This other poor guy is getting punched in the head,
kicked in the head, brutally beaten. All these people are
surrounding the people getting beaten up with their cell phones
(16:00):
and videos. Only one person, only one decided to call
the police. This isn't worthy of coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC.
I thought I thought they didn't like the insurrection, Linda.
They don't like insurrection, right.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Oh, I hear that they don't. There's firmly against it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Okay. And then you've got this woman, Victoria Parks. What
is she on the city council? We have heard Cunningham
council woman. I think I do a pretty good Billy Cunningham.
You like my Bill Cunninger, Sean Hannity, you're a great American.
God bloss you god blows America. I want a full report.
Pretty good bed.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
He actually calls me the other day he goes, do
I really said it like that? And I go yeah,
And Victoria Parks, Oh, and if you watch him in
a studio, he's like he stands like ten miles away
from the microphone, which is what you really should do
when broadcasting. I'm probably the only person that eats the
microphone because I just can't help myself unless you're.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Distracted and looking at your phone, and then I have
to say, look at the microphone.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
You never see me, so very rarely do you see me.
That's a good thing, I know, when you're leaning. Victoria
Parks on the city Council writes on Facebook that they
pretty much that they deserved it. Did you see the
comments that she made the woman, Yeah, she's by the way,
the woman who was beaten, Holly. He returned home to her,
(17:20):
She returned to her home in Russia. I mean, when
when things are better in Russia then Cincinnati, Ohio. We've
got a problem now. Victoria Parks was given an opportunity
to pull back on those remarks that well, they deserved it.
And here's what she said. I have the freedom of speech,
(17:41):
and and you know, I am a.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Night when when I wrote on the internet, I meant
you that's the way I felt.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And I'm not going to back down from it right now.
I'm not going to back down from it right now.
What we're gonna wait, maybe a month from now, she's
gonna realize the brutal beating mob attack that nearly killed
two people is something that shouldn't take place in a
civil society. I need do I need to educate you
about that. Unbelievable is changing and.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
She needs to resign. It's repulsive. This whole idea that
we can't talk about this and we can't talk about
the people involved because they want to play some sort
of politics game is a bunch of nonsense. This is
one human being on the ground getting the kick crapped
out of her, and she had nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
She just wasn't there. She got blind. No, she actually
went over to try.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
To help the other guy.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I know, but I'm saying, this guy's getting crap. Did
do you see how many times he got punched and
kicked in that head?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Of course I did. And then I saw how the
person in charge of his bail release let him out
on four hundred bucks and said, oh, well, it's not
his fault. The police chief, I quote says it's not
his fault. He's not culpable. It's the bartender's fault because
they overserved him.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I can just tell you this thing in Cincinnati. It
makes my blood boil, it really does. How dare this woman?
And by the way, you know where the mayor has
been the whole time? Yeah, the mayor has been gone
the whole time. Oh but he shows up today. How
nice of him? How many days later?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Daylight dollars short? It's like, you know, Pete Boudha, Judge Pothole,
Pete Joe Biden, you know Kamala Harris couldn't go to
the border. I mean that interview last night was an
unmitigated disaster. Anyway, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if
you want to be a part of the program, must
get to our busy, busy telephones. Let's say hi to
Steven in Connecticut. What's up, Steven? How are you glad
(19:40):
you called?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Good beyond Sean, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well? I just kind of want to address something that
you had touched on earlier in the week, and then,
of course, obviously with the burned bags and all the
other things that are kind of developing, I hope that
there's some disis sake that kind of comes out as
a result bolt of it all. And yeah, I'm addressing
actually interesting enough. The leftist agenda, which is, you know,
(20:07):
basically pretty pretty historic and pretty common, their desire to
basically lie at every turn and steal and in some
places that obviously destroy this great niche and of ours.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So I can't believe they didn't burn the burn bags
and that's going to nail them all. I really can't.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I'm really thankful. I think it's a divine intervention, very
similar to what was a year ago when when our
great president was nearly taken out. So I think it's
all all their whole, their whole agenda is basically to kill,
steel and destroy and to store truth.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, anyway, I appreciate you being with us, my friend.
Thank you. Eight hundred and ninety four one showing if
you want to be a part of the program, will
stay with another Steve, this one in California. The United
Socialist Utopia of Gavin Newsom. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Sean?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm good man. What's going on with you?
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Not much? Brother? So I spoke with you about a
month ago. I'm the gentleman that that I shared my
story with you. I was the one gentleman who's living
in my car for a while. You offered to help
me get my apartment and get into an apartment.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I do remember, and I know Katie worked that out
for you. How are you doing because you have a
young child, if I recall.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I do, I do.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
The level of gratitude and the level of appreciation that
I have for you, like is indescribable. I can't, I
can't even express like how grateful I am and how
thankful I am for you just for offering that. You know,
when we had that conversation, you you know, you you
cut me off, and which I am thankful for. I
(21:58):
don't really care, but like you know, you you you interjected,
you were like, hey, we I'm gonna try and solve
your problem. Like I was crying, like you know, like
I could cry right now with just just how grateful
I am right now because you really you did well.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You let me remind people because and tell me if
I'm off. You have a job, right you work? What
is your job again?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
I work for I work for a garage door company,
a nationwide garage door company out here in Sacramento, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And about how much do you make an hour?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I make right now? I'm about twenty two dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And you were living in your car to save money.
But you had recently been through a divorce and you're
never going to be able to see what you if.
I recall you have a son. How old your son?
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Yeh, he just turned three?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, And I said, you have to have a place
to bring your son. Look, yeah, every child needs both
parents in some capacity, unless, of course it's it for
whatever reason, is not possible. I deally you need to
be in this kid's life. I'm not going to get
into your personal life with your ex wife. That's meaningless
(23:05):
to me. I mean that's between you and her.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And if you don't have a place to stay, no,
there's no child services that's ever going to let your
son stay with you in a car. So you got
your apartment. Now, are you able to sustain it based
on how much you you're making and you getting other
sources of income?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I did. I did enough research.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I found I found a solid apartment, uh, one that
I can afford like safely. And the part the complex actually,
you know, they gave me a little cut on the
original rate that they were offering. When the when the
apartment was on the market. You know, they brought it down.
They brought the monthly rent down a little bit, increased
(23:45):
the deposit.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So it made it a.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Lot more feasible for me, a little lot more reasonable,
you know, for me to for me to live on
my own. You know, I make pretty I make pretty
decent money compared to you know, compared to a lot
of other people that you know that live. And I mean,
I'm blessed, absolutely blessed to have to be in the
position that I am right now. And it's just, you know,
(24:09):
a good portion of that is to you, man. I
just I cannot listen.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I have had people in my life help me, and
I'm in a position now where you know, I can
occasionally do nice things for people. I try to do
as many as I possibly can. And all this is
is a bridge for you. And now I want you
to take the ball. Keep your good job in garage stuff,
(24:35):
Maybe start a little business on the side, get your
own little customer base. Maybe you can build out your
own little company and or find other jobs. Maybe you
know in the hours that you're not with your son,
and just try to put in as many hours. There's
only two ways to save money, spend less, and bring
in more income. I've been there when I had no
(24:56):
money my early twenties and mid twenties. I mean, all
I did was work, and I worked seven days a week.
I didn't have a kid at the time, so I
didn't have that complication in my life. But you know,
work as much as you can, but also be as
good a father as possible. That's my advice to you.
It sounds like you're doing great if we helped a
little bit where I'm grateful that I could. Thank you
(25:19):
for your kind words. But it was a pleasure for
me to do it. And I love good news stories.
I love when things work out for people. I'm very
happy for you, and keep up the good work.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Dude. Thank you again.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
I'm just going to conclude on this.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
Man, I just just thank you, just simply thank you.
You've given me. This is a life changer for me, period,
point blank, end of story. Like and I've always been
hungry and motivated, and this just fuels that fire even
more so.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Again, I mean, look, listen.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You're very very well welcome. Here's my advice. Sometime in
your life, I'm down. At some point in your life,
there's going to be somebody that comes to you that
needs help. Just pay it forward that way, Okay, And
if we all did that, I think we'd all be
a better off. You know, you don't need all these
HR books if you just follow the Golden rule. Love
(26:14):
God with all your heart, mind, body and soul, your neighbors, yourself,
treat others the way you want to be treated. Nobody's perfect,
We've all sinned and fallen short. But when you can
do something for somebody, always, always try to look for
that opportunity. We'll glad you're doing well. God bless you,
God bless your son and your family, and we wish
you the best. And that's a good story to end
(26:34):
in on a Friday, right, Linda, Absolutely, Linda wants so
what's she like in my ear? When do I get
my free apartment?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
What?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yeah, I don't really believe in free. I have a
little bit of a different mindset on those things.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You don't think I made the right decision to do that.
Speaker 8 (26:49):
I think it was your decision to make and you
made the one that made sense to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I didn't ask you that question. I said, do you
think I made the wrong decision? Would you have made
a different one.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
If I had the money to do something like that
for someone, Yeah, yes, I would have made a different decision.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
What would your decision have been?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
You know, I come from a very poor background. We
never took government assistance. We worked all of us as
as young as we were, as soon as we could.
My dad got hurt when I was really young. It
was very very hard, and nobody ever helped us. And
we made it, and it taught us one very very
important thing that was to work very very hard all
(27:25):
the time.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
You wouldn't have helped this job, two jobs, three jobs,
four jobs, Yeah, it would have helped them. Joy Well.
I did give him the advice to do that, but
he needed to get into an apartment so he could
see his kid.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Again.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Your hard, your hard. You're a hard core, ma'am.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I'm from it.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
That's a hard core. Just because somebody to help you
doesn't mean that, you know you, It wouldn't have been
a good thing if they did.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Listen, everybody's in time.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
As I'm just saying, it's a little hard, a little
little like for example, if I see homeless people, I
give them money. You never did, absolutely not. I always
give them a lecture, though it's always that I.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
Asked to them, I will forgive them food, And in
New York City, I have given food to many homeless people.
I have worked in homeless shelters.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The problem is nobody wants the crap food that you're
going to give them.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
But if I give them what you want and they
try to attack me, it's because they want the money
for drugs. So you can't take that risk.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
People promise me that they won't spend the money on
drugs or alcohol, and then I realize the odds are
probably against me, that they probably will, but I walk away.
At least I tried, and then I talked to them
about getting their life together, and sometimes I'll spend a
lot of time with them. I was I was doing
this in front of US seven to eleven recently, and
a guy recognized me and he just sits in on
(28:44):
the whole conversation. He goes, I can't believe you spent
all this time with this guy, Like, well, I've had
people that help me in my life. I'm very grateful
and God's blessed me beyond what I deserve. Right, that's
going to wrap things up for today tonight. Hannah nine
Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Remember all the people
that sign the FIZE applications using the Hillary Clinton bought
(29:08):
and paid for Russian disinformation dossier. Yeah, and then they
all went before Lindsey Graham and say, no, knowing what
we know now, we never would have signed it. And
we're going to play that for you. Also, Devin Nuness,
Jason Chaffit's Miranda Devine, Tommy larn Jimmy Fayla, and the
new Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate. Is he within reach nine
(29:29):
