Battle for Georgia - November 22nd, Hour 2

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity show toll-free.
It's 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Different polls coming out of Georgia.
I I just don't have a feel for anything right now.
Why is it that, you know, it took California-New York congressional seats and new congressional seats in Florida that ended up with Republicans in the majority?
It's just very different than anything we had ever seen before.
So I I can't, in good conscience, tell you I have a feel for this December 6th runoff between Raphael the radical Warnock and Herschel Walker.
Um I know Herschel Walker's out there pounding the pavement every day and doing a bunch of town halls, and he's got people in and out.
You know, every senator from Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, uh everybody is going in to help him out in Georgia.
It's an important race.
Uh it's good to see the governor Brian Kemp now trying to unite the party, and and he's been out there on the campaign trail and endorsing Herschel.
Uh here's Herschel's latest ad slamming Raphael Warnock over the management of this uh housing project that he has, the one that, you know, is infested with rats and and so on and so forth, and uh, and they're throwing people out that only owe like 24 or 28 bucks uh they're behind on their rent.
Uh and he's taking a lot of heat for it, and uh, it's supposed to be church related, and it's apparently uh less than uh uh pleasant living conditions.
Anyway, here's Herschel's latest debt.
I'm Herschel Walker, and I'll prove this message.
Reverend Warnock prays on the poor.
Warnock's apartments are filled with mold, filth, human feces, even rotting corpses.
And they used to stairware.
Warnock's church pays him 7,000 a month for housing while he leaves people living in filth.
Saying all you, no, I hate to say you know.
Senator Warnock, what are you doing to address the situation with the mold and corpses at Columbia Towers?
Warnock exploits the poor and serves himself.
All right, joining us now.
Um maybe they can give us a better take on where this race is headed.
Uh polsters, John and Jim McLaughlin.
Uh anyway, this this takes place in short order.
This is now November 22nd, and uh the end of this month is eight days, and then on the 6th of December, that will be decided.
Now, either it will be a 50-50 Senate or the Democrats will have an edge 5149.
It would certainly be better for the Republicans if they were able to pick up this seat.
Uh, I do think there is a possibility.
Something dramatic's happened in West Virginia, and that is Joe Manchin, who had the highest approval of rate rating in his career when he was opposing Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, up to 70% now in the 30s, uh, because uh remember he did the you know infrastructure bill or the tax the poor middle class and people on fixed income bills,
we call it, and he was promised that he was going to get a pipeline if he supported this, and that would help the energy industry and create jobs and help the people in West Virginia.
That that they reneged on that.
They they absolutely bamboozled and lied to him on that.
And then on the lead up to the general election this past year.
Uh we know that Joe Biden was out there saying he wants to get rid of all coal production in this country and stop drilling offshore and onshore in the country uh completely.
And maybe that explains why immunity was granted to MBS.
That's the guy that Joe himself said killed uh journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and that was the pariah nation, Saudi Arabia.
It's wasn't bad enough that Joe went and kissed the ring in the ass of MBS, uh begging for them to increase production of oil.
Not only did they say no, they decided to decrease their energy production, but now with immunity, we read that, oh, next month they're gonna have another discussion about possibly increasing domestic oil uh increasing their their production of oil, which Joe wants because he wants to import oil, but some reason he has uh this unexplainable position, which is beyond irrational.
It's reluctance and that is beyond mysterious to anybody of drilling domestically and and being energy independent.
Just insane.
What impact does it have in Mother Earth if you get the oil from OPEC Nation, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, or if we produce it here in America, because we do it faster, cheaper, and cleaner.
Anyway, Jim and John uh McLaughlin are with us.
Uh welcome both of you.
John McLaughlin, I start with you.
Where is the state of Georgia?
You know, with early voting going on.
I just I I don't know if enough Republicans have bought into the system, and that gives Democrats a decided advantage heading into election day.
Well, uh by the way, I spoke with uh Speaker Gingrich uh yesterday, and we were talking about the post-election finding nationally.
And Jim and I, fortunately, we we we worked for candidates across the country where we didn't lose a single incumbent.
In fact, in New York, we picked up three congressional seats with Lawler and in Long Island, and also two in Florida that we gained five seats for the Republican Party taking Democrat seats, and in Georgia we worked for the late Speaker Ralston who fixed the election laws that we don't have those unsecured drop boxes, everybody needs voter ID.
And uh and and basically we kept you know no excuse absentees and they they've they've got secure drop boxes.
But let me tell you what what this race is about.
You've got a polarized partisan country where the two parties are about even, and you have to win among the independents, and in Georgia, the turnout was really the same as it was in 2018.
It was about just under four million voters.
And Trump got two and a half, almost two and a half million votes, okay, even with all the irregularities and the and the unsecured drop boxes and the uh uh ballots that didn't have a chain of custody and Zuckerberg drive.
Trump got two and a half million votes.
Herschel got just under two million votes.
This is now what we call the partisan parity.
You need a message where you go after Joe Biden, he's a failed president, you need that develops party unity, and then what you do is you beat ballots by going after ballots with votes.
The Republicans waiting till election day is a big mistake.
In Georgia, if you want to win, find the two and a half million voters that voted for Trump, get out as many of those can for Herschel, because they're all they disapprove of Biden, they disapprove what the Democrats are doing for the country.
Run an aggressive message to take the Democrats out.
Like you were talking about energy, we talk about inflation, we talk about groceries, talk about crime.
There's so many issues.
The unsecure border, play offense and get those voters out because the Democrats, what they're doing is they're getting ballots out uh with absentees, they're getting ballots out every day with early in-person voting, and they're not waiting for election day.
Our clients, whether in New York or Florida or other places of the country, they play the whole time you're allowed to vote.
Do not wait till election day to turn out the vote.
Turn them out every day and beat the Democrats every day in turnout, because the math is there.
Warnock is going to try to get 99% of his vote out.
Herschel needs to get 99% of his vote out plus some.
It's really a turnout game and energizing the base.
And has an early voting just started, does my understanding?
Right, right.
So you know you have to you and and by the way, there's absentees.
I don't know what the counts are on the absentees, and Georgia's not a registration state, but you have voter affinities, you have a a database, you know what the you know what it is.
The Kemp people knew what it is, but they got out two point one million votes for themselves in the November eighth election.
So find those voters.
Drive them out.
They're there.
Just do a better job at turning them out.
I I know my audience really well, and I know there's some people listening to this and they're not happy hearing what you're saying.
And and let me say this to people.
I agree with all of you.
The best system would be to follow, believe it or not, Canada and France and Great Britain and and so many other industrialized countries that have uh paper ballots, uh make election day a national holiday, so everyone has access to the ballot.
You make exceptions for the elderly, the infirm, the military, people that are gonna be away that want to vote, they can apply for an absentee ballot.
But basically, then you have partisan observers watching the vote taking place.
They watch the vote counting taking place, and and then we have the result at the end of the night.
There's no questions about integrity, everybody has confidence in the results, and we all move forward.
Included in that is voter ID and signature verification.
That's that's not gonna happen in this Georgia runoff race.
It's not gonna happen by 2024 either.
So what I'm saying to the audience that is resistance to mail in balloting, early voting, you're gonna have to overcome it.
And it's now while we're overcoming it, we want to improve the system and and and make it a a more fair system and have more integrity in the system.
But the reality is this is the army that we have.
This is the system that we have, and unless and until we change it, you gotta work within the system, or you're gonna start out 700,000 votes behind on election day, and that then, especially in a runoff, becomes impossible to make up.
Jim.
And say and think about it, Sean, what the Democrats have done.
They actually went the legal route.
They're their attorneys are always working.
They're opening up the early in-person on this this uh Sunday.
They're gonna start it up, they're gonna start opening it up even earlier than what it was supposed to be.
And a judge hasn't shut it down yet from our end.
Just as John was saying, these folks never stop playing and they never stop playing to win.
Whether we like it or not, these are the rules that they're playing by.
And as soon as early voting starts, as soon as vote by mail starts, we need to get out there.
Think about this.
Look what they did in Florida, and we work with a lot of candidates down there.
Folks like Ashley Moody, we work for some of the new members of Congress that are down there.
And what they did with the vote by mail was compared to two years ago or four years ago, I'm sorry, similar election, we were only we were up by about 20,000 votes with the early voting.
In this election, we were up by over 320,000 votes.
Why?
Because the folks in Florida, they get their people out to vote early, and then they get them out to vote on election day.
And the big key to this, by the way, one of the one of the things the Democrats are also doing, they're trying to suppress the Republican vote.
Because they're telling Republicans right now, hey, we've got control of the Senate right now, and your vote doesn't matter.
You know, it's this election isn't about control of the Senate.
Where it really is, because people don't realize the advantages you get if we do get a 50-50 Senate, not to mention the importance of us picking up and getting control of the Senate, which we have a really good opportunity in 2024.
If we get 50-50 control, it makes it much harder for the Democrats to pass their radical judges.
It makes it much harder for them because they can't give any of their dem their liberal Democrats an out, just like what we saw with Kirsten Cinema, just like what we saw with Joe Manchin.
And by the way, Kirsten Cinema and Joe Manchin, they're not moderates.
Anytime the Democrats and Chuck Schumer ever need a Kirsten cinema or Joe Manchin, they're there.
Whether it was on the Trump tax cuts, whether it was on the judge.
Well, they resisted for a period of time.
They're resisted on the legislative filibuster, and and that was helpful.
But you're right.
We already heard from Chuck Schumer, you know, he's going for full-on amnesty in this, you know, lame duck, you know, session before the Republicans take control of the House.
And you know, he they obviously weren't campaigning on amnesty because that would have had a profound impact on the race, in my view.
So they hide their true intentions.
Um But but this is what they always do, isn't it?
And and you know who we underperform with Sean?
We underperformed with Joe Biden's negatives.
There were actually polls, some of the exit polls showed that in the House races, among voters that somewhat disapproved of Joe Biden, the Democrats actually won.
And here you have a guy, and you said it, you said it perfectly, radical Raphael, because that's what he is.
He tries to pretend he's one of those moderates, but you don't vote with Joe Biden ninety-six percent of the time and be a moderate.
That is extreme.
Because when you're voting with them 96% of the time, you're voting with them on all the spending that's causing this inflation, you're voting with them on all these crazy energy policies, you're voting with them on open borders.
I mean, these guys are extremists, and you want to send a message and stop the extremism, you've got to support Herschel Walker here.
And I think what you're seeing right now, you're seeing the Republicans, whether it's Donald Trump, you're seeing uh Governor Kemp, everybody is all in right now on supporting uh supporting Herschel Walker.
Quick break more with our polsters.
Jim and John McLaughlin, eight hundred nine four one Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program.
We'll get to your calls, the other news of the day.
We continue with our polsters.
Jim and John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and Associates.
Let's get your your final take.
What is the best messaging now going out?
And to what extent do you think Kemp plays plays a big role here?
I mean, he he actually had a beatdown against Stacey Abrams four years prior.
Uh he didn't do particularly well.
He barely eked out a victory.
But then she did say that it's the worst state to live in, and she did hurt the state with a hundred million dollars and they lost the uh MLB All Star game.
Yeah, Sean, I would put Joe Biden on the ballot.
Because every poll I did for the speaker in the majority in the house that we kept in Georgia, Biden had a net negative rating.
And Joe and he can't get it better with the they're talking about open borders, they're talking about another big spending package.
Put Joe Biden on the ballot.
The country's on the wrong track.
Let Herschel Walker attack, say that this this we need to we we we shouldn't reward the Democrats with Raphael Warnock.
We have to straighten out the direction of the country, whether it's inflation, whether it's the price of gas going up, whether it's the open borders, whether it's crime going up, you have to put Herschel there so he votes right and make this a referendum on Joe Biden instead of uh that unites Republicans to bring out Trump voters, it breaks out chem voters, it brings out I mean it that's how we won these races in other places.
Play offense.
But drive that message to drive our vote out every day.
Because what you said in Israel, I just we just did Netanyahu's campaign.
You're right.
They have one day voting.
They have uh uh paper ballots, and but he even Netanyahu ran a negative campaign at the previous government.
So you need to you need to talk about, so he had no other option.
Thank God he's back in power, by the way.
Exactly.
Anyway, John and Jim McLaughlin, thank you, McLaughlin and Associates, 800-941-SHAWN, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We'll be right back.
information.
More contacts than anybody, more friends behind the curtains.
Sean Hannity is on.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Uh the Washington Post, you love this, Linda, accused of trying to destroy Thanksgiving dinner after listing holiday foods alongside their climate impact.
Um I'm not making it.
I'm sorry, what did you just say?
That is insane.
That was out today?
See, there's a reason I don't read Bezos' paper.
Okay, go ahead.
Okay.
So the Washington Post complaining about your Thanksgiving dinner, warning that some parts of the holiday feast will contribute to the climate crisis.
Now, this article written by a commonist Tamar Haspel.
I'm not sure if I'm saying the name right, not on purpose, uh, but anyway, meaning I'm not mispronouncing on purpose.
Anyway, it's titled The Climate Impact of the Thanksgiving Meal Might Surprise You.
Now the good news is Haspel claims that it is that the mainstays of the meal, the poultry, the plants, make Thanksgiving a much more climate-friendly holiday than, say, the burger fest that is the fourth of July.
And then the author lists typical Thanksgiving dishes alongside how they stack up climate-wise.
And while Turkey is described as having a higher footprint than chicken because it's slower growing, according to the author, it it's it's still a good choice.
Potatoes are a win with climate-wise, according to the author, because they contribute about one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions of the poultry on the per calorie basis.
And of course, the butter, the cream increased totality of the climate damage.
Try roasting your behavior be uh your potatoes instead of mashing, go crispy instead of creamy.
Green beans, on the other hand, are met with a lot less approval.
Green vegetables are not quite as environmentally friendly as root vegetables, the author writes.
When it comes to greenhouse gases, virtually all plants are better than virtually all animal foods, but green vegetables have the highest per calorie emissions because they deliver nutrition with few calories.
Butter being an animal food is not so much a climate win.
And she said it admits, but telling you to make crust with anything else is not gonna work.
And while the holiday staples are basically good, the author turns out turns to what she describes as Thanksgiving climate villain.
You want to take a crack at what that is?
I can't even imagine.
Is it pumpkin pie?
That's a good poor old pumpkin.
It's food waste.
Various groups have tried to uh their attempts at estimating how much food is wasted on Thanksgiving, but there's no real way to know.
Safe to say though that the that it's a lot.
By the way, I don't I don't really like you know, like turkey legs.
I gotta I walk around on the times when I used to go to Disney when my kids were younger and see all these people with turkey legs.
You ever see that when you have you taken Liam to Disney yet?
I will never take him to that liberal paradise.
I promise you.
You're never gonna take this poor kid.
He's never had a happy meal.
First of all, no, first of all, has he ever had a happy meal?
He has.
But you didn't give it to him, did you?
I did not.
There are traitors amongst us, unfortunately.
So let me guess.
Anthony took him.
No, he had a cousin.
He had like a you know, an uncle, a favorite uncle, and he was like, Oh, please, please, please, we please take me.
And that I'll be able to do it.
You get a happy meal and you get a toy, you can choose between the cheeseburger happy meal and the chicken McNugget happy meal, and he got the toy with it and and first of all, everybody knows that chicken is.
I got you to admit that he liked McDonald's French fries better than your air dry french fries or whatever you air-cooked French fries.
What do you call it?
So let me let me let me keep it real with you for one minute.
It's called it's called an air fryer, it's amazing, and I'm sure most of our audience would agree with me, but I'm gonna tell you right now.
Right now.
When you put french fries in front of a child, I do not care who that child is.
The best French fries they have ever had are the ones they are eating at that moment.
So my son will tell me that those French fries are amazing.
No, I'm 100% right.
No, I don't eat a lot of French fries, and I've had your air-fried hand French fries, and they're not as good.
They're not as good as ones cooked in oil.
I'm sorry, this from the man who wants to lick a salt stick.
Uh, this is not a fair comparison, I don't think.
But you have to put a lot of salt on any French fry, regardless of how it's got.
Sean, you put salt you put salt on apples.
You put salt on every salt on apples.
I've been sort of.
Thank you, Jason.
Sometimes you just need salt plain.
You're right.
I admit to it.
You're not one of those.
One of the greatest gifts I ever got for Christmas was from Ethan, who got me salts from all over the world.
I have to say that was a very good gift.
When he told me he got that gift, I was like, oh man, that's a home run.
That really is.
It was a grand slam.
And you by the way, am I the easiest person to buy for?
No, you're the worst person to buy for, actually.
The worst the absolute worst person, actually.
I sit around Christmas, my family gives me a sweater.
Oh, thank you.
I give it to Sweet Baby James.
Another sweater, shirt.
Oh, I hand it to sweep.
Do you remember what I gave you the first year I worked for you, right?
I have no idea.
We're going back quite almost two decades.
So this is hilarious.
I I came in your office.
Everybody's given all the things.
I have no idea what to give you on broke as a joke.
And I gave you a Starbucks gift card.
It was like 20 bucks on it.
It was a big deal for me.
And I handed the card.
And and I said, I know you like the French roast.
Here you go, boss.
And you looked at me and you went, Really?
And I was like, Yeah, you're like, please keep your money.
Please don't give me a $20 gift card.
Please don't do that.
It's fine.
You need to go to the city.
Don't waste your money.
You go wherever.
Where do you live?
I'm like, I live on the upper east side.
You're like, how many square feet do you live in?
I'm like, 350.
And you're like, yeah, please keep your 20 dollars.
Thank you very much.
Get out of my office.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
Goodbye.
I wasn't being mean.
No, it wasn't mean at all.
It was hysterical.
It was hysterical.
I don't want people because, especially people working for me.
I always urge them to save money.
Like we're getting close to bonus time, right?
Now, when I give bonuses, you know, sometimes I think I give the checks to you directly, and then you give it to the staff.
I am the disperser.
But they but it always has to come with the same message.
What's the message?
Save your money.
Money is freedom.
Money is freedom.
I wasn't done.
See, you were interrupting, and therefore you did not know where I was going.
Now Jason always gets a little extra.
In other words, now that well, thank God his favorite nightclub is closed down, so he doesn't spend his money there.
But I tell Jason, especially you, right, Jason.
I still have last year's bonus.
boy, do I need it?
Well, you is something breaking at your house again.
Oh, yeah.
The uh oven that's older than Katie uh broke down.
So I'm telling you, it's 30 years old and it broke down like just before Thanksgiving, so I'm getting a new one.
Uh were you able to find one?
Not before not before the uh not before the holiday.
But it's we we've got I could send you a butterball turkey fryer.
No, no, I mean, no, we're just going to do two small turkeys.
So we're good.
As long as you're gonna be happy.
Uh a couple of other quick things.
Uh, activists are planning a Thanksgiving protest at Plymouth Rock against the genocide of indigenous people.
They will gather for a national day of mourning this Thanksgiving.
Uh who's this actor, John L E G U I Z A M O?
Who is this guy?
No idea.
That's probably why he's doing it.
He wants you to know who he is.
Leg Guizamo.
Yeah, who is it?
You know?
Oh, he's uh he's the uh comedian slash actor.
He's been around for like 20, 30 years.
Okay.
Well, he's so famous, I have no clue who he is.
Um anyway, happiness indigenous survivors day, F Thanksgiving.
Oh, gee, you're really 12 days of Christmas.
Get this.
What do you think the 12 days of Christmas will cost?
Take a wild guess.
Jason, give me your best guess.
What are the 12 days of Christmas cost?
Remember the 12th day on the first day.
How much did the 12 days of Christmas cost?
Yeah, how much do you think it costs?
It's it's up a wappen.
You mean like for all the items that you would that are in the song?
Thousand bucks.
Okay, what's your guess, Linda?
3763.
$37.63?
$3,763.
Because pears are very expensive, you know.
Produce is very expensive.
12 days of Christmas.
And I'm I'm just reading from this study.
45,523 and 23 cents of double digits from last year, uh, according to the financial firm PNC, which released its 39th annual Christmas price index on Thursday, and they measure the average change in prices for the 12 gifts on in the clistmas carol, running even hotter than more traditional consumer price index.
Uh both indexes share similar themes, etc.
For example, the cost of a partridge in a pear tree is up 26%, driven entirely by spiking fertilizer costs.
French hen's turtle doves are more expensive because their food, much like ours, has become pricier.
Investors rushing to store a value assets, including precious metals, cause gold rings now to skyrocket 39%, and labor shortages and wage increases mean those lords are leaping and ladies dancing are earning 24% and 10% more, respectively.
I don't know if any of this is quick break right back.
We'll continue and uh get to the phones as we continue.
800 941 Sean.
Hey, do you want to improve your shooting?
Linda, well, she's getting there.
It's been slow, but we're we're getting her up to speed.
Uh when you started using Mantis X, by the way, it is high technology.
The best shooters in the world use it for dry fire practice.
Uh the military uses it for dry fire practice.
Uh by the way, 94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes.
It's literally like having your own instructor next to you uh while you're while you're practicing.
It's safe and secure in your home.
It gives you instant feedback, tells you what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong.
Uh when Linda started, uh, what was your first score?
A six?
It was a very, very bad score.
That's what it was.
Out of a hundred.
What was it?
A nine.
That's let me explain what that means to people.
If you if you're aiming your firearm at a house, you would miss the house to get a nine.
Or you might be able to nick like the chimney.
And the burglar and the burglar would kill you.
Oh, yeah, you're done.
You're totally done.
And so what are you up to now?
Um honestly between like a 7080 if I practice like at least three times a week, which I do.
Okay, and what did I score on my first shot?
You're annoying.
You scored a hundred, which is not a good one.
But I have but the interesting thing is because my uh hearing loss for all these years on radio, I just don't shoot anymore.
Even if I have you know, inside muffs and outside muffs, I just it just you know I'll I'll end up with the colour.
No, you're hearing shot, man.
After 30 years, forget about it.
It's shot.
I mean, if anyone heard my headphones how loud they are, they'd be like, whoa, man.
Yeah, they would.
It's unbelievable.
But this it goes everybody has that problem.
Anyway, Mantis X, it's fun.
Your family, you can teach your kids.
You can teach your uh have fun with your friends.
It teaches you gun safety.
It teaches you to be a marksman if you use it regularly.
It's an incredible gift for Christmas, and you're gonna love it and have fun using it, and you're gonna save a ton of money because you won't be spending your money on range bees and ammo, which is more expensive than ever.
Anyway, you're gonna love Mantis X. Just go to their website, MantisX.com, M-A-N-T-I-S-X, one word dot com.
You will love it and become a marksman.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
All right, let's get to our busy phones here.
You know what?
Let's say hi to Wendy.
Wendy.
Oh, this is Wendy, our restaurant friend down in Florida who came up with the what O'Shannity drink, isn't it?
Oh yeah, we're celebrating you today.
So you actually what what is the O'Shannity drink?
So it it we know that you like beer only if it's got ice cubes in it.
That's true.
It's basically whatever anybody wants to drink on draft with an ice cube in it, and it's the shanity.
Because we love you.
Well, I love the love that I'm getting from you, and I appreciate the love.
Um, how is business?
Because I remember we spoke during COVID and we spoke once afterwards, and you know, you you guys were struggling a little bit for a while.
Um I hope a lot of people from this show keep going in and saying hello to you.
Well, we we have very um great customers and a lot of them are loyal listeners of the Hannity show.
So when they come in, they always tell us we heard you on Hannity, we love Hannity.
Um so we we still have guests that came in from uh that heard the sh on the show a year ago, which is amazing um that they even remember that far back.
But um it's pretty busy.
We're we're staying busy.
Um we're you know, my family works every day.
We finally closed on Mondays to take a break, and we're taking Thursday off for Thanksgiving.
It's by the way, it's outpost 611, and where's the location?
Um it's on McMullan Booth and Enterprise in Clearwater, Florida.
Everybody needs to go and have a good time there, and this would be the perfect weekend to go.
But you're closed on Thanksgiving Day.
We're closed on Thanksgiving and But I hate to say it, you're missing a big day because the Giants are playing the cowboys, and I think a lot of people would want to watch it.
Well and drink beer and drink your specialty beers at the same time.
Drink the beer.
They can come on Black Friday and watch whatever they want.
Yes.
We're gonna have all kinds of specials.
And Linda, I'm having um French fries, choriza chili, beer cheese, and sour beer.
Wait a minute, real French fries, not this that's not this air fried crap that she has, right?
Wendy have an air fryer too at home, and it's really good.
It is really good.
Wendy, can I interrupt you for one second?
Can you please share the story about your husband and Veterans Day and the flag?
We did put it on handy.com, but it really is just such a great store.
Okay, so really quick, he was cleaning up outside on Veterans Morning, Veterans Day morning, and the flagpole had fell down because we just had that tropical storm come through Florida.
So he was cleaning up, and there were two guys that were doing the electric and fixing the electric outside of the store.
And so the gentleman asked my husband, uh, do you do you have another flag?
And he said, I'm gonna go to Home Depot and get one.
And he said, Hold on a minute.
He went to his truck, he came back with a folded flag in a plastic bag that he he's from the American Legion, and he fought, I think it was Vietnam, and he presented Ian with a flag and said, This flag has flown in another foreign country, and I want to give this to you.
So let me tell you, when I come into work every day, I looked at it, it's got a couple of little tiny, you could tell, like worn areas on it from flying really high somewhere.
But it's such an honor to to fly that flag every day.
Wow, unbelievable.
You know, uh look, somebody sent me a scripture today, and sweet baby James gave it to me, and it talked about you know how you know if you believe in God and you can increase This and increase your prosperity and happiness, you know, and and let God fill you up more.
And I'm like, I don't know.
I'm kind of in the Thanksgiving, like I'm pretty grateful for what I have that I don't deserve mode.
And I should be there more often than I am.
But I think that this Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for.
And, you know, we we get locked into the hard times and we, you know, things spin and spiral out of control.
You know, maybe your Thanksgiving is not going to be as I don't know, festive in terms of food, which is good for your diet anyway.
But um, you know, being around the people that you love, you know, they may not be there next year.
They may not be there three years from now.
You know, I lost my parents a long time ago.
You know, my father died in March of '97.
My mom not long after that.
And so my advice to people all the time, as I try to give good advice, you know, is spend as much time with your family as you can because you just never know.
And you you'll never regret the time that you spend with your loved ones and be grateful for them.
Uh, Wendy, we love you.
God bless you.
It's uh by the way, Outpost 611 and uh Clearwater, and I hope people go and say hi to you.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
We love your staff.
I like half of them.
No, I'm kidding.
They're all great.
Thank you, Wendy.
