When news broke earlier this year that baby KJ, a newborn in Philadelphia, had successfully received the world's first personalized gene editing treatment.
It represented a milestone for both researchers and patients.
But there's a gripping tale of discovery behind this accomplishment and its creators.

Day number 114.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload.
Your call's coming up 800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
One job I don't think anybody would ever want in the White House is being the press secretary.
And we happen to be friends with a number of ex-press secretaries, Ari Fleischer, for example, Sarah Sanders, our friend Kaylee McEnany is going to join us in a minute.
You know, look at Jen Saki.
The difference is if you're representing somebody like President Trump or George Bush, you know, you're getting the living crap beat out of you every day.
But, you know, if you represent a liberal Democrat, somebody like Joe Biden, except if your name is Peter Doocy, you're not going to get a tough question.
It's just how sycophantic the media mob is.
First, they allowed Joe to hide in his basement bunker throughout the entire campaign without asking questions.
Joe hid.
They helped him hide.
And then, of course, now it's the Presidential Protection Program.
And he rarely talks to anybody.
And when he does, he mumbles and stumbles and is an incoherent mess and a cognitive, you know, struggling, weak, frail president.
That's an embarrassment.
Anyway, here's Jen Saki.
She has to clean up the mess of Joe Biden.
And she's also told a number of whoppers herself she couldn't get out of the mess last week when Peter Doocy said, well, this is what Joe Biden said in the debate.
If 220,000 Americans die from COVID, they should no longer be president.
Well, since Joe's been president, 355,000 Americans have died of COVID.
We have more people dead from COVID this year, 2021, than last year, election year 2020.
It's pretty sad and unbelievable.
Of course, then she'll lie and she'll say stuff like, well, we don't need to test illegal immigrants.
They get preferential treatment.
No vaccine mandates for them because they're not going to be here very long.
We know that's a lie too.
And she spins and the media gives her a pass.
Anyway, here is Jen Saki.
And just, I mean, it's laughable.
Listen.
There certainly is not an open border.
As individuals, as individuals come across the border, and they are both assessed for whether they have any symptoms.
If they have symptoms, the intention is for them to be quarantined.
That is our process.
They're not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.
I don't think it's the same thing.
It's not the same thing.
President Delbeliba will not add a dime to the national debt.
Correct.
It won't.
What if taxes that he says he wants to get more taxes in?
What if it doesn't happen?
What if the economy goes sour?
Lots of things can happen.
What are you?
You're going to tell from up there, future generations.
Not even born yet, that they're not on the hook for this.
Is that right?
That's right.
Okay, following up on something else the president said last night.
Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?
Well, Peter, as you may have seen, there's been reporting that he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008.
It was crystal clear that things were not improving on supply chain.
People couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things.
So why is the tragedy of the treadmill that's delayed?
The tragedy of the treadmill.
You know, Santa Claus, well, you should have bought your Christmas gifts by Halloween.
If you didn't, it's your fault.
When your kids are crying Christmas morning that their favorite toy is not under the tree and Santa disappointed them, blame Santa.
Blame the UPS.
Blame FedEx.
Blame the Postal Service.
Blame Donald Trump.
Kaylee McEnany has a brand new book out today, and I've gotten an early copy of it and I've read it.
And it's a phenomenal book.
It's on Hannity.com, AmazonBook.com, and in bookstores everywhere.
Anyway, for such a time as this, my faith journey through the White House and beyond, Kaylee, you had a rough time in the White House.
I mean, think about it.
There you are at the podium.
You're communicating with the American people.
You know, we have the worst pandemic since 1917 and 18.
Not an easy assignment.
No, not an easy assignment.
Not made any easier by a lying press corps.
And I don't say that lightheartedly.
I went into the job wanting to have a good relationship with the press, but knowing as any conservative does, that that would likely be impossible.
And that proved to be the case.
I mean, Sean, I do a whole chapter called Vindication.
All the fake news headlines that have been disproven that, you know, Trump ignored bounties on the heads of American troops in Afghanistan.
That was a lie.
Trump gassed and pummeled protesters to take a photo at a church, St. John's Church.
That was a lie.
The inspector general found that out.
You have Trump saying that COVID might have originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which now looks likely, but we were told that was just an outright lie from Trump.
It was not.
It was actually probably where it originated from.
I mean, narrative after narrative.
I would tell reporters this isn't true, but they write the story anyway, Sean.
Surprise, surprise.
You know what?
Some people may not know about you.
One thing we do have in common is I had 12 years of a Catholic school education.
You went to a Catholic all-girls high school.
I went to a Catholic all-boys high school.
One of the big differences is you ended up at Harvard Medical School, and I ended up in front of a microphone.
So I'm not sure who did better.
But I mean, it's a very impressive background.
And, you know, your book is, you know, my faith journey through the White House and beyond.
One of the things I noticed that you would do is you'd go into that briefing room every day armed with a binder full of facts and on every single topic imaginable.
And I can only imagine the work that went behind that.
Yeah, a lot of work.
I mean, look, my time at Harvard Law and Oxford and Georgetown definitely prepared me to, you know, have that binder chock full where, by the way, reporters, there was a camera behind me.
The camera would take pictures of my binder.
And CNN literally put out a headline decoding the mysteries of Kaylee McEnany's binder.
And they tried to discern what the tabs were.
I wish we would have done a headfake and made the tab instead of like COVID and therapeutics, you know, John Carl, Caitlin Collins.
It would have been a funny headface for the press.
Look, when I stood at that podium, if you saw any sort of peace, serenity, confidence in me, it did not come from my preparation at all the universities.
It came from faith in Christ.
We prayed every time before I went to the podium.
It's the last thing I did.
And look, it took everything within me not to lash out at the press at times.
And the only reason I was able to stand there is because a lot of Christians across the country praying.
You know, it's interesting.
I've said this to Aria.
I've said it to Sarah Sanders.
I've said it to you.
I could not do that job because I can't stand those people.
In all the years I've been at Fox, now in my 26th year, believe it or not, and all the years I've been on radio, 33 years now, I've never been to a White House correspondence dinner.
And people ask me, why haven't you ever gone?
I'm like, because I don't like them and they don't like me.
So let's get rid of all the pretense here.
And when you're dealing with somebody like President Trump, it's a more difficult task in as much as he's not the easiest guy to speak for because he's so outspoken himself and spent more time with the press than I think any president in the modern era.
Yeah, but the one thing with President Trump is he was authentic.
And I talk about in the book being in a meeting where everyone in the meeting, or at least half of the folks in there, Kelly Ann included, myself included, Bill Barr included, said, you know, Mr. President, maybe you want to get out of this Obamacare lawsuit.
It's timed around the election.
This isn't the best thing to be doing in the middle of COVID-19.
And the president looked at me, and I'll never forget him looking straight at me and saying, Kaylee, I stand with my base, and I always will, and I'll stand by the promises I made on the campaign trail.
So while, yes, he would throw a curveball here and there, I always knew where he stood, and it was right exactly where he was on the campaign trail.
And I think he's one of our first Republican presidents that's really been that way.
So it was an honor to work for him.
See, I think that's what defined the Trump presidency.
Let's go through the issues.
He gave us a list of Supreme Court justices he'd choose from.
He stuck to that list.
He said he'd cut taxes.
He did.
He said he would eliminate burdensome bureaucracy.
He did.
He said that he would bring us energy independence.
He accomplished that, a massive accomplishment.
He said he would get control of the borders.
He built 500-plus miles of border wall.
He wanted freer, fairer trade deals.
He got them.
He wanted us out of foreign conflicts, and he was in the process of doing it safely and in a smart way with the threat of obliterating the Taliban until Joe Biden botched it.
So he really did keep his promises.
But I don't think there's ever been a president in my lifetime that I can think of that's been as hated by the media as this one.
Yeah, because he held him accountable.
I mean, that's with a capital A. You know, he wasn't afraid to fight back against them.
Most Republican presidents, the M.O. is to go in, be silent, take the hits, take the jabs, don't fight back.
This president did fight back.
And as you know, Sean, you know, you get to swamp EDC and the establishment, the foreign policy establishment, the academics say, you can't do this.
You can't get out of the Paris Climate Accord.
You can't get out of the Iran nuclear deal.
They did that with President Trump.
And every time he looked them dead in the eye and said, watch me.
And he did it.
And it's why I think he's the most successful president in my lifetime.
We'll see what happens in 2024.
Do you have a gut feeling since you know him as well as anybody that he runs again?
If I had to guess, I would say yes, Sean.
You know, he says you're going to be very happy with my decision.
And I can't believe by that he means happy with the decision for him not to run.
So I think he'll be out there, but we'll see.
He's coming quick.
You know, it really is.
Tell us more about your background that gave you the strength to go through all of this.
And faith is obviously a big part of your journey and a big part of your life.
As I get older, my faith is more important than it's ever been.
I know that there is a God, a creator.
You can't look at the majesty of creation and universes within universes within universes in my mind and determine anything other than that there is something far greater, more powerful than us that is a creator of all things.
And I believe that.
I believe in heaven.
I believe in hell.
And I believe those things I did learn in Catholic school.
And they mean more to me today than ever.
Tell us about, you know, you're young and you've embraced this faith from a pretty young age.
That's it.
In other words, I got in a lot more trouble when I was younger than you did.
I doubt that, Sean.
I'm sure you were a choir boy.
But no, you know, I grew up.
Kaylee, I can promise you, I was not a choir boy.
I don't believe it for a second, Sean, but I'll take you at your word.
But look, I grew up in a Southern Baptist church.
As you noted, I went to an all-girls Catholic school.
And, you know, your parents tell you to believe something or want you to believe something, but I discovered it for myself out in the real world.
When the going got tough, it's funny how Jesus Christ speaks.
If you speak for him, he will answer you.
And for me, that was taking a job as press secretary.
I was nervous.
I was petrified.
And my dad texted me, maybe you were made for such a time as this.
That's the word from the book of Esther.
And separately and apart from that, a few weeks later, a Democrat commentator by the name of Van Jones, who you may know, texted me, Kaylee, maybe you were made for such a time as this.
And it's happened to me oftentimes in life and oftentimes in the hardest parts of life that God will send me a message twice through two different ways, through two different people, but the exact same message.
And I know he's real.
I know he's out there.
I believe more than the sky is blue and the grass is green, that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
And if you read this book, you'll see how he's worked through my life.
I'll never forget watching you and poor Jeff Lord, another friend of the program, being tortured at times nine against one on these fake news CNN panels.
And I just couldn't believe it.
That's an interesting story, though, about for such a time as this and the title and where it came from and what it means to you.
These are troubled times, but I sense that, you know, Joe Biden in 11 months has proven to the world he's not up to this job.
And I think I never, I wrote a book last year warning people, live for your die, America and the world on the brink.
We're now on the brink.
I wish we weren't, but we are.
We are on the brink on every single front.
It's terrifying.
And, you know, we don't often talk about foreign policy, but when you look at Russia on the border of Ukraine and China and researching, investing in hypersonic missiles and North Korea, all of a sudden firing off blockets themselves.
I mean, we're in a very dangerous, very scary place.
And what's the Biden administration doing?
You know, President Biden's going to get accolades at Kennedy Center, a standing ovation.
He's going to his billionaire friend's house for Thanksgiving as the world is crumbling.
I mean, it's totally sick in the head.
And his chief of staff is sitting there complaining saying that Donald Trump got better media coverage than we did.
What a joke.
What a farce.
What an absolutely pathetic way to be, particularly as Americans can't even afford gas, many Americans, and Christmas presents for their kids.
And they're out there partying, it seems, and totally ignoring the plight of the American people.
Quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll continue.
800-941.
Sean, as we continue with Kaylee McEnaney.
When news broke earlier this year that baby KJ, a newborn in Philadelphia, had successfully received the world's first personalized gene editing treatment.
It represented a milestone for both researchers and patients.
But there's a gripping tale of discovery behind this accomplishment and its creators.

And as we continue with Kaylee McEnany, she has her brand new book out today.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere.
And it's called, For Such a Time as This, My Faith Journey Through the White House and Beyond.
Couple of unknown facts about Kayleigh McEnany.
One is you once interned at the Fox News Channel and you worked on a particular program there known as Hannity.
I did.
That was my first internship at Fox.
I remember you were so nice to me, Sean.
You even threw me a little party before I left.
I'll never forget that.
I was just mesmerized by you and Alan Combs at the time I was Hannity and Combs.
Now, of course, just Hannity.
But yeah, it was my first internship, and you even signed a coffee mug for me on my way out.
I have it displayed here at my house in a curio case.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe that's still in existence.
Another unknown fact is your husband's a professional baseball player.
That's right.
And President Trump loved that.
He would always bring it up to me.
And one time he even told me as we were landing on Marine One on the White House lawn, he said, go into my private dining room in my Oval Office and go watch your husband pitch.
And by the way, never miss another one of his baseball games.
So that's exactly right.
My husband pitched with the Mets in the World Series and had a great career.
And it's been awesome to be a part of.
Amazing.
The book is phenomenal as well.
And for such a time as this, and at this time of the year in particular, it makes a great gift and also gives great wisdom.
My faith journey through the White House and beyond now at Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere.
Kaylee, we're proud to have you at Fox.
We wish you all the best with the book, and we love having you on the show as often as you come.
And we'll be talking hopefully after the new year and have a Merry Christmas and a great new year.
Thanks so much for all your support, Sean.
800-941-Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program?
Your call's coming up straight ahead.
The new Sean Hannity SHOW,
talking about what's right for America, with a renewed commitment to keep you up to date on the breaking news stories.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
Let's hit our busy phones as we say hi to Bob is in North Carolina.
What's up, Bob?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, thank you for taking my call, and thank you for being the patriot that you are and having a voice for us conservatives out there.
Thank you very much.
Don, thank you.
What's going on?
My son is in North Carolina University.
He's in the Air Force ROTC program, and he got an email from his lieutenant commander about a week and a half ago saying that they have to get vaccinated by January 31st.
And my son has had COVID, as have I.
He does not want to get vaccinated.
He's unfortunately willing to leave the service because of that.
But my question to you is I know there's a lot of this going on around the country with every branch of the service.
But rather than me getting an attorney and suing the Army, which would be like spitting in the wind, is there any kind of group I can join?
There is.
It's called the Liberty Justice Center.
We've had them on the program, and they are helping a lot of people with these mandates.
And as you can see now, we were now three for three with court battles and stopping and putting a hold on at least temporarily the vaccine mandates of Joe Biden in terms of the constitutionality.
But they are helping people.
Pro bono, I know that.
It's Liberty Justice Center.
We'll put a link on Hannity.com.
We put one up last week.
And you can go there and get started that way.
It is expensive to hire attorneys.
I get it, believe me.
Great, great.
Yeah, the email, part of it had mentioned something about the Air Force ROTC has kind of an overage of members across the country, and they're not willing to lose members.
And that was very disheartening to see or to read, something to that effect.
But he's a true patriot just like you are.
So we're doing everything we can to fight.
We'll see if they can't help you out, all right?
And keep us up to speed.
We'll do that.
Thank you, Sean.
All right, buddy.
Thanks, Bob.
Bill in Connecticut, Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, Bill.
How are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
Good, sir.
All right.
I just wanted to, you were talking about Alec Baldwin there the other day with him saying that he didn't pull the trigger.
Most modern replica guns have a hammer block.
The only way the block moves away to let the hammer hit the firing pin is by pulling the trigger.
I was a small engine repairman in the Army.
I worked at a manufacturer here in Connecticut for a short time.
I know guns.
And if it's a period gun from the 1800s, the hammer is exposed.
And normally you leave that on an empty chamber because you don't want to get shoot yourself in the foot.
Well, for example, if you pull back the trigger and it doesn't lock in, and let's say you release it and you're aiming it at somebody, you would acknowledge that that weapon's capable of going off, correct?
Well, the hammer block stays in front of the hammer and prevents the hammer from hitting the firing pin.
It should.
You're right, but it can result in a firing if you let go of the trigger before it locks down and gets cocked, correct?
Yeah, you could.
He had his finger on the trigger.
He had to get that hammer block out of the way.
And that's the only way it can happen.
Yeah.
Look, it's just the whole thing is a nightmare.
And a lot of it's not making sense at this point.
No, it's not.
And everything they're saying, I heard something about they had a problem putting the bullets into the chamber.
Well, when you reload, which I do, and you try to crimp that thing too tight, you bulge the cartridge a little bit, and they're hard to get into the cylinder.
And that's what's kind of, I'm hearing these other things kind of flaky, you know, when it comes to that.
Yeah, look, it's obvious he didn't have any knowledge of firearms.
And she tells me to point here.
She tells me to point there.
But I never point a gun at anybody.
Do you feel responsible?
No, not at all.
Not me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
You've turned the gun.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's so unfortunate.
I'm trying to understand how it's possible that live ammunition got in that gun in the first place or why it was even on the set.
That right there boggles my mind.
I mean, you would never do that.
I mean, I was in the service.
I was a safety range safety officer, you know, NCO.
I had to keep an eye on to make sure people didn't do something stupid and shoot themselves.
And that's rule number one.
You don't have live ammo in any weapons that you're going to be using, you know, as pretend.
That's what you're doing.
It's pretend.
You know, I kind of like what George Cloney has said.
I think it's responsible.
This is simple gun safety 101.
Somebody's responsible for this.
There is culpability here.
There is liability here.
Whether or not it's criminal in any way, at this point, I just can't give a definitive no.
Do I think Alec Baldwin went to work that day thinking he was going to kill this woman?
I have a real hard time believing that in any way, shape, manner, or form.
But on the other hand, I'm pretty confident that Leo Terrell's analysis was dead on accurate.
He went into that interview fully, completely prepared.
He memorized his lines.
He is an actor.
One has to raise the question that, you know, was that a bit of a show that he put on?
The dramatic music of ABC was nauseating during the whole thing.
A woman died here, a mother.
And I have more questions now as a result of that interview than I had before the interview.
I agree with that because he was acting.
That's what he does.
And they're trying to get this some kind of a ploy where he won't get charged.
It should be, I mean, involuntary manslaughter.
He did keep the gun.
He pointed out.
We'll see.
I mean, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
And we need to get answers.
The family deserves answers.
The country deserves answers here.
Oh, yeah, obviously.
All right, well, thanks, Bill.
Anyway, my friend, thank you for your expertise.
Appreciate it.
Tony is in Los Angeles on the Sean Hannity Show.
Tony, how are you?
I'm doing good.
I just wanted to share my experience with COVID and monoclonal antibodies.
Okay, so you got COVID.
Did you have a breakthrough case or were you not vaccinated?
No, no, no, no.
I'm not vaccinated.
And this goes back in August.
And I was traveling from Florida back to Los Angeles.
And most likely it was the Delta.
I'm not 100% sure.
But I didn't feel good.
Went for the test.
Came back positive.
I was running about 103 fever.
I was watching my oxygen.
Fortunately, the place where I had gone to for protesting, they were also doing a trial on a new monoclonal antibodies.
And they called me and asked me if I wanted to participate.
I haven't even heard of it.
I mean, monoclonal antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies, is it just a different brand?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Can you tell us, or you can't, you might be under a non-disclosure?
No, no, I'm not.
I'm not.
It's called the pronunciation of it is so-to-v web map.
And it's a new one, and it's done by two companies, Glaxo and Veer, up in San Francisco.
And actually, so they were going to, they pulled my name, and it would say whether I would have an IV or I would just have it an injection.
I came up with the IV, and so it was a 15-minute infusion.
Went home, went to sleep, woke up 10 hours later, no fever, feeling great because the biggest problem that I was having, I was watching my oxygen and that was okay, but the body aches were just, I felt like how many days after you tested positive, did you get the infusion?
Day two.
You see, now I have friends, again, I'm getting calls every day of my life because people know that I'm talking about this, but they're not taking notes.
If you're in a car right now, you're not taking notes and saying monoclonal antibodies, you know, or I tend to use the word regeneron about the same amount of time.
Eli Lilly has their version of it.
That's very good as well.
But the purpose is, is what I've discovered is with all the talk about vaccines, nobody's talking about, and this started with Delta, people that were fully vaccinated, including very good friends of mine, that test positive anyway.
Now, if you were vaccinated so far, the science shows so far, again, variants change, that your risk of hospitalization and death are greatly reduced.
Okay, that's good, but you still tested positive.
And every single person that I know within the first 48 hours, timing is key, if they get the infusion, if they get monoclonal antibodies, Regeneron, Eli Lilly, and maybe eventually the one you took part in a study of, they've all told me the same exact thing.
Every single one, vaccinated breakthrough cases, every person taking it early has done well.
And I've had people with multiple comorbidities, you know, pre-existing, serious preexisting conditions, even friends that are obese by definition.
And this has been in every case.
Now, I'm only speaking anecdotally, and I'm telling everybody, talk to your doctor first.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm not going to play one on radio or TV.
But you are affirming everything I've heard from people that get the infusion or the shot.
I know people that have gotten both.
Right.
So, well, listen to this.
You know, because I'm in this study, I go once a month.
They draw blood.
They do nasal swabs on me.
They do saliva tests.
And so for the next six months, you know, I've been going once a month for this.
The first week I was going every day.
And then the worst part was the body aches.
And that was what, and the fever, and that's what broke immediately.
But what I've read recently, because I'm so interested in what they gave me, is that they're saying that this works against the new guy, Omicron.
Omicron, and other variants.
And now what they're doing is the same company is actually doing studies on giving it to people who don't have COVID, but might be at risk for getting it.
As a prophylactic, in other words.
Uh-huh.
Well, first of all, let me applaud you.
I mean, if it was me, I think, I don't know for sure, but if it was me, I think my gut tells me I probably would have gone with the known and not the unknown because I know from people, so many different people that I know that got the infusion.
Now many people just get in the shop at the same results.
I don't know if I would have been willing to take part in a study because the risk is greater, but you did it.
And you're helping science.
You deserve a lot of credit for that.
And more importantly, you feel better.
I've had people describe it to me as almost immediately that they feel the antibodies go to war with COVID inside their body.
They can feel the internal war and that almost immediately, you know, they know things have changed.
And then usually no later than 48, 72 hours max, they're feeling a hell of a lot better in every case.
But again, take it.
These are people that I'm telling, get it early.
Don't wait.
Well, guess what, Sean?
You can get your doctor approval, but go ahead.
Yeah.
I've been going to another place for testing for antibodies.
It's been, let me see, I got it in the beginning of August.
I'm still showing that I have natural antibodies.
Wow.
Well, listen.
It's a lifetime infusion, and my blood is still showing antibodies.
Well, remember, you're going to have T-cell antibodies that won't even be discernible if they take your blood and test it.
Oh, absolutely.
But the B cells are showing it.
You know, it's almost later.
I stand corrected.
Yes, you're right.
Listen, good for you.
Look, what I'm telling this audience remains the same.
Take this sucker seriously.
Even the early observations on Omicron are it is more contagious, but the symptoms so far seem mild.
And that's what we heard from South African medical professionals and people that first picked up on this anyway.
That's the early indicator.
But that means a lot more people will be testing positive breakthrough cases or people that didn't get vaccinated.
At that point, at least for this audience's sake, you know, I know it's not a word that's top of mind for most people, monoclonal antibodies.
You know, we should really do, Linda, is maybe put a link on the website.
Now, but I also add this caveat.
I'm not telling you to get it.
I'm telling you to immediately ask your doctor about whether or not this is a therapeutic that you would qualify for.
I've yet to meet a person that's not qualified for it.
Let me put it that way.
I've already discussed it with my doctor.
I'll go right to get the infusion within minutes.
And if I don't on my own, he'll probably come take me, kidnap me and take me and make sure I get it.
Anyway, thanks.
Really courageous, Tony.
800-941 Sean is on number.
Come on, man.
It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing.
I had to become president to show you I could do that better than anybody.
Joe Biden, the most dangerous man in America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
