Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
What smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markovich.
And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday.
Normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
Our number is 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are learning more and more and more about how much we were outright lied to as it relates to COVID-19.
And it's it's kind of scary that the government on such a high level and so many of our quote uh trusted uh supposedly trusted institutions, you know, went with outright falsehoods as it relates to the vaccine.
Oh, you get the vaccine and you're never ever going to get COVID.
Wrong.
If you get the vaccine, you're never going to infect others.
Wrong.
I mean, everything that they told us.
HCQ doesn't do a thing.
Wrong.
I mean, we have how many studies now that have shown that taken early, it mitigates symptoms.
Uh natural immunity.
Oh, we you you still need the shot.
You know, even young people need the shot, but young people weren't dying from COVID 19.
And now nobody really wants to talk about the impact of you know, taking the shot, getting the boosters, and and myocarditis, and and people that have been having issues with blood clotting and the connection to it.
Kansas has now sued Pfizer over misrepresentations and adverse events because of the COVID 19 uh vaccine.
AstraZeneca, which was similar to Moderna and Pfizer, uh, that's been pulled off the market in Great Britain.
And now we have a whole new controversy emerging, and that is the former CDC director, Robert Redfield, is now predicting a bird flu pandemic that will happen in in you know just a short period of time.
Anyway, he was discussing this, and he actually is predicting when it enters humans compared to COVID-19.
He said the mortality rate will be somewhere between 25 and 50 percent.
And he's predicting that this is going to be the next pandemic and it'll likely happen sooner than we think.
Uh, I don't know whether to believe anybody at this particular point in time.
And then he went through great specificity about the receptors that scientists have found five amino acids that must change in the key receptor in order for bird flu to gain a propensity to bind to a human receptor and then be able to go human to human is that once the virus gains the ability to attach to the human receptor and go human to human, well, that's when you're gonna have the pandemic, and it's just a matter of time.
He doesn't know how long it will take for the five amino acids to change, but since it's been uh detected in cattle herds around the country, he says he's concerned, and I think the most frightening things that he said I know exactly what amino acids have to change because in 2012, against my recommendation, scientists did these experiments, actually published them.
I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.
So when nippy manipulating more viruses in labs and and that these would will wipe out 25 to 50 percent of the population.
The one person that has really been in the forefront of exposing so much about what has gone wrong with COVID uh and challenging Anthony Fauci has been Senator Rand Paul.
I mean, it's all chronicled in his best-selling book, uh, which is called Deception, the Great COVID cover up.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere.
And here's him saying Fauci and other scientists privately worried about COVID being engineered in a lab, and then publicly they just dismissed it and lied to you.
Federal court orders revealed that even Dr. Fauci himself privately acknowledged concerns about gain of function research in Wuhan and mutations in the virus that suggest it might have been engineered just days before he commissioned the proximal origin paper.
Despite these private doubts, publicly, these so-called experts and their allies were dismissing the labling theory as a conspiracy.
Within days, Anderson Lipkin and Gary were putting final touches on what would be remembered as one of the most remarkable reversals in modern history.
In their proximal origin paper, these scientists concluded we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.
Privately they were saying one thing, publicly they were saying another.
Media pundits parodied the narrative while social media platforms censored discussion about the lab leak, labeling it as misinformation and stifling open discourse about the virus's origins.
The cover-up went beyond public statements.
Federal agencies and key officials withheld and continue to conceal crucial information from both Congress and the public.
Anyway, Senator and Dr. Ram Paul uh is back with us.
By the way, the COVID cover-up uh is his book.
If you haven't gotten a copy of it, it's it's a must read.
It's on Hannity.com.
Uh anyway, Senator, welcome back.
Thanks for having me, Sean.
You know, the avian flu is a really intriguing uh subject, and this is what kind of got it all started because back in 2010, some scientists in the Netherlands purposely mutated it, gave it these five to eight new mutations, and made it aerosolized, spreading through the air and more transmissible to mammals.
And people said, What kind of crazy research is this?
But Anthony Fauci responded this way.
He said, Yes, something like this could create a pandemic, but the knowledge is worth the risk.
And that statement to this day, I think is probably one of the most careless, arrogant, and wrong-headed statements that I can imagine from somebody in public health, that the risk of a pandemic, you know, it's worth the risk to get the knowledge.
And I'm guessing that a million Americans' families would probably say to Anthony Fauci, you know what?
It wasn't worth the risk for my loved one to die for the knowledge.
And many scientists, we had one in committee today, said that really we haven't gained useful knowledge from these kind of experiments.
Well, the idea that Fauci said in 2012, even if it meant a worldwide pandemic, he's still in favor of gain of function research is beyond any comprehension that I have.
Uh the fact that Director Redfield is actually saying that he's aware of the very experiments that took place as it relates to avian flu, or you know, this that we're we've been talking about, uh uh bird flu that would take out twenty-five to fifty percent of the population or have a twenty-five or fifty percent mortality,
and that he talks about the five specific amino acids that would need to change, and that that research has already taken place uh in twenty twelve and they know exactly how to do it in a lab tells me that it's almost inevitable.
I mean, do you agree with that analysis that it would wipe out twenty-five to fifty percent of the population?
Yeah, if it's mutated.
And the thing is, is it's less likely to happen in nature.
It's more likely to happen in a lab.
So the real debate is should we be funding people who are doing these kind of experiments in the lab?
And we don't know for certain that it might not happen in nature, but I think it's less likely to.
Animal viruses tend to uh do very well within the animal and don't transmit as well with humans.
If you mutate them, like we believe that the lab in Wuhan mutated COVID-19 to make it more transmissible, then an animal virus all of a sudden shows up in humans and spreads like wildfire.
That was COVID-19.
So one of the arguments for why we think it was manipulating the lab is that most animal viruses, like the first SARS-1 back in 2003, it didn't transmit very well.
So it could get into humans, and it was pretty deadly, about 10% deadly, but it didn't transmit very well.
So if people just stayed home when they were sick, it sort of burned itself out pretty quickly.
But um mutating it is the biggest danger.
The biggest age are for avian flu, or frankly for Spanish flu.
You know, the Spanish flu was from twenty uh from nineteen eighteen, and somewhere between fifty and a hundred million people died worldwide.
Well, three scientists at MIT wanted to prove that the Biden administration wasn't doing enough.
The Biden administration says they have fixed the problem, and by guidance that they wrote, some kind of minor rule that it won't happen.
So three scientists at MIT got a couple weeks ago said, well, we'll just try to order the pieces to make Spanish flu online and see if we can do it.
Now they told the FBI in advance they were doing it because it is illegal, but they were able to get the pieces to make Spanish flu from ninety-five percent of the companies they ordered from these DNA companies.
And so the fact that you can order up the parts for the Spanish flu and created in your lab uh should scare us all.
It should scare us in a world where there's a lot of evil actors, and and uh China, you know, we could start with them and Russia and Iran and North Korea.
Uh I don't I don't I wouldn't put anything past any of these countries.
It's it's kind of scary.
That and by the way, that's why people need to read Deception, the Great COVID cover-up.
I mean, when we talk about you know, the the fact that we funded the Wuhan Virology Lab where they knew coronavirus research and gain and function research took place and nobody did anything about it.
And that's again part of your book, Deception, The Great COVID cover-up.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
I heard people urge people to read it, and they knew about it the whole time, and they lied to the American people the whole time.
You know, if God forbid we felt we face another another COVID moment or pandemic, maybe it is bird flu.
I don't know.
Uh you know, how does anybody trust anything that they have to say?
I I'll never listen to these people again.
Yeah, there's still a lack of curiosity, and you're right.
That was brought up in our hearing today that sort of people that are hesitant to believe government scientists now are because they haven't been honest with us.
We had a group of virologists, international virologists surrounding Anthony Fauci, and privately they were all saying that they believed that the virus looked manipulated.
Some of them were 5050, some of them are 80 20, some of them are 90 10.
Some of them were convinced it just couldn't have happened in nature.
But then at almost exactly the same day they're saying that, they're publicly putting out a paper saying the opposite.
And that's why today one of the scientists on our side said that this scientist, Bob Gary, had committed fraud, and that his paper three of his papers are being retracted at this point.
And these are the people that are arguing for skimpy or no controls on gain of function, and we've got to win this debate, or I believe somebody will maliciously mutate either smallpox or the Spanish flu or the avian flu, and then we're gonna have something that makes COVID 19 look like a game.
I mean, we're gonna it looks like a play game compared to what can happen if one of these more deadly viruses escapes a lab.
All right, quick break more with Senator Rampall of Kentucky on the other side.
Also, your call's coming up, 800-941 Sean, our number as we continue.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

Hey, what if your home's title, which is the legal document that proves you own your home, is in some criminal's name?
Well, that's called home title theft, and criminals all over the world can find your home's title online, and then they'll forge your signature.
They'll take out loans against your home, or even worse, sell your home.
Now, how do you know some criminals not taking over the title to your home?
You can find out with sign up at Home Titolock.com and use the promo code Sean S E A Nigue with Kentucky Senator, Medical Doctor Ram Paul is with us.
His book is Deception, The Great COVID Cover Up.
Let me change topics on you.
In nine days is going to be a presidential debate, Donald Trump versus Joe Biden.
And uh an interesting phenomenon took place.
I assume you were at the State of the Union.
I'm I'm guessing you were at the State of the Union.
And we saw a Joe Biden that we'd never seen before, and we have not seen since.
And I referred to it as jacked up Joe or hyper caffeinated Joe and or something Joe.
I don't know.
It was not the Joe Biden we knew before the debate, and we've not seen that Joe Biden emerge since.
And I'm predicting that that Joe Biden will probably re-emerge for the debate with Donald Trump.
I don't know why I think that, but I think that, you know, whatever that was, caffeine, Red Bull, I don't know, that they gave Joe.
I think probably they're going to follow the same protocol.
Um, which is it's interesting.
Seventy percent of Americans even support drug testing the the candidates, uh, which I think would be a good idea, which Joe Biden will never agree to.
The question I have for you is, you know, did you notice the same thing?
You're a medical doctor.
And it is fascinating to me that after the State of the Union, we never saw that Joe Biden again.
And he went back to being, you know, his his cognitive mess self.
And my question is, is that because maybe all of that quote Red Bull caffeine or something else or whatever uh was dangerous to his health?
Because I've got to imagine if that worked that night, why not why not give him the same caffeine or Red Bull every day?
Yeah, I don't think you can make a medical diagnosis over TV, but there have been some that conjecture that Adderall.
Well, we're we're not on TV, we're on radio, but that's okay, Senator.
I've I'll forgive you.
Or radio, but uh no, when you see him on TV, that you can't make a diagnosis by watching him on TV.
But some have conjectured Adderall, other stimulants.
Um, but what it reminds me of, though, if you were giving advice to Trump on this, reminds me of the old Rush Limbaugh skip.
Remember when he said he'd debate people, but you have to like tie his the left lobe of his brain behind, you know, because he one lobe of his brain was enough to defeat most people in debate.
He had a funny skit on that.
But it's kind of what Trump needs to think about is I think he can handily defeat him.
In the two debates that I remember last time, the first one he did it, but he was so aggressive that he uh didn't come off as well.
And I think independents want a nicer version of Donald Trump, and that's who you're trying to convince, really.
Forty percent of us are on one side, 40% of the other, and about ten or twenty percent in the middle.
And I think those require a more uh friendly sort of approach.
And it's it's hard because you have to win, you gotta win your point.
You want to intellectually defeat your opponent, but you have to do it in a way in which people don't think you're an ogre.
And I think the second debate, when Trump came back the second time, I think some people had coached him a little bit on that, and I think I think he won both debates intellectually, but I think he came off better in the second debate.
And that's what the Yeah, I I actually think they're doing him a favor by muting his microphone, but we do know it's gonna be a three-on-one debate.
I mean, I I don't trust fake Jake Tapper or or fake Dana Bash.
Uh I mean they're liberal talk show hosts.
They're not gonna be fair.
Yeah, it's so hard to find somebody that would be objective, and I think there's a lot of indications that CNN may not be the most objective of networks.
So I'm not kind of surprised he chose to do it, to tell you the truth.
But uh, yeah, there have you no being being a willing to debate is important.
I think the fact that he's willing to debate, uh at least with Biden, I think is a is a sign that he had to do something to go forward with that.
Uh and I think a lot of people will tune in, frankly.
They want to see uh how both of them can still handle themselves.
Oh, that that's must see TV.
You gotta watch that.
Yeah.
Uh anyway, you have to run, Senator, but we always appreciate you uh having us.
By the way, it's called Deception, the Great COVID cover up uh Senator Ram Fald, Medical Doctor Rampall, uh Amazon.com.
We have a link on Hannity.com and bookstores around the country.
Senator, thank you, as always.
Thanks a lot, John.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Watch Joe's schedule suddenly become even lighter than usual uh as he now prepares to stay up later at night, change his clock, and of course, uh drink a lot of Red Bull and start getting used to being jacked up Joe again.
Nine days till the debate, hundred and thirty nine days till election day, and just ninety days until early voting starts in Pennsylvania and then it rolls out around the country.
Hey, wanna remind you, since the terror attacks in Israel on October the seventh, we see what's happening.
Anti Semitism on the rise all around the country, you know, in the halls of Congress, college campuses, all across the country, all across Europe, all across Australia, all across the world.
It's sad and it's sick and it's it's reminiscent of the nineteen thirties.
But we are proudly partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and frankly we're just asking that you take a stand with us and and the IFCJ, you know, when it matters.
And frankly, let the people in Israel know they're not alone.
That you support their right to win their war against radical Islamic terrorism.
Now for the entire month of June, we're asking that you just simply sign a pledge.
That pledge will be delivered to the president of Israel to show that here in America we're not only standing with them in solidarity, but we're speaking up and not afraid to speak up and we're taking a stand with the IFCJ International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and letting the people in Israel know that they're not alone here.
Now just to simply sign the pledge, go to their website.
It's one word.
Support IFCJ dot org.
Support IFCJ dot org.
Hopefully you'll stand with us and take a stand today.
Uh all right, let's get to our phones.
Margie is out in Long Island in New York.
Margie, hi, how are you?
Uh, how's my old stomping ground?
You miss me?
Anybody out there miss me?
Oh, yeah, we do miss you, but I want to hear more of you.
So we gotta just keep on listening and I hope everybody else can come on over and listen to you as well from the other side.
But uh, we're very grateful to our affiliate in New York, the all do AM seven ten WOR and the great Mark Simone and we got a great team there.
Yeah, I listen to you guys on the way um home and on the way into work.
I have an hour ride into Melville every morning, so um it's it's uh a good station to keep me posted with everything of what's going on.
So I'm told that I'm just I'm very oh that was my dog, sorry about that.
I'm just very frustrated because even though we hear about the polls, you know, Trump is soaring and Biden is I want to see something like ten percent Biden and ninety percent Trump, and I think that it should be that and w and I want to know why isn't it?
People I talk to at work, they're still you know, they don't like Trump and I just can't I can't I just it kills me.
I I don't know what else to say.
You know, it's just frustrating, Ashwan, it really is.
Look, I don't I uh y you can start asking them questions, uh, you know, simple questions.
You know, do you think that Joe has a serious cognitive decline problem and just just sit back and let him answer?
Uh ask him about Trump's conviction, say, What was he convicted of and just shut up and let him answer?
Uh you can ask them, do you think that Joe's border policies have created a national security danger for the country?
Um do you think Joe's economic policies have benefited you and your family and most Americans?
Uh do you like defund, dismantle and no bail laws?
Uh do you like the fact that Joe has basically surrendered in the war on terrorism and abandoned Israel?
Are you concerned that you know the world's most nefarious players uh and our top geopolitical foes, are you concerned at all that these people are on the march and Joe Biden is seems completely incapable and unwilling to confront them.
You know, just ask him basic questions and and let them try and answer, and they're not gonna be able to answer.
And in a weird way, you'll be kind of confronting them and and saying to them, Why are you supporting this guy?
So I think you have an opportunity, you know, with everybody that you run into.
You can do it in a nice way.
I'm not saying again a fist fight over it.
Uh but um uh but you're also at a very, very liberal state.
I mean, New York is pretty much like California, they've lost their mind.
And it's it's become for so many uninhabitable.
And you know, that's why you see Wall Street South now.
All these big companies are leaving.
That's why you see a mass migration out of New York, out of New Jersey, out of Illinois, out of California.
Soon as I can retire, I'll be out of here too because I just it just doesn't make sense.
And um, you know, I've lived here all my life.
I was born and raised on Long Island, Master and South County.
I listen, I have a lot of friends still that are there a lot.
And I I'm very grateful for the opportunities that New York gave me, but it's not my first ro rodeo outside of New York.
I live five years in Rhode Island, five years in California.
Uh I lived two years in Alabama, four years in Georgia, and and I've kind of been, you know, w when you start out in radio, you travel.
You just you go wherever they're willing to hire you.
And you know, so for me, but I found my home, I will say that.
I I feel at home in Florida, and this is you know, this this is the place that I want to be and the place that uh I feel like I belong.
Well, I'm gonna take your advice for um speaking with my co-workers and also I'll probably call you in a couple of years to find out what what areas in Florida are the best to be, because a couple of years from now we'll be down there right around the corner for me, maybe.
Who knows.
Let me tell you, you really can't make a mistake in Florida.
Now, if you're looking for coastal areas, whether you like the west coast of Florida, you know, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Florida, whether you like uh Southern Flor uh South Florida and Miami, a lot of people like that area.
Uh whether you go up the east coast of Florida, like, you know, Manalapan and and Palm Beach and Delray Beach and Boynton Beach and and straight on up the the coast to Jupiter.
If you're big big into golf, you're gonna love Jupiter.
Uh Vero Beach, uh, you can't go wrong.
If you're in Tampa, you can't go wrong.
If you're in Orlando and the I-4 Carter, you can't go wrong.
You really I mean the the panhandle, Jacksonville, I mean, there's so many beautiful parts of the state.
And I know that, you know, it'd be worth taking a couple of vacations down here.
Come on down, take a look and and see where you and your family may want to settle.
Yeah, I have uh family recently moved down there a couple of years now, so we'll probably head end up down there visiting and and checking around and all, even even the Carolinas, but I'll definitely take your word of advice about speaking um, you know, with coworkers and all, and then uh I I love the Carolinas.
I like North and South Carolina.
I think they're great places.
I like Tennessee also.
I like Texas also.
I mean, depends what kind of lifestyle you want.
Maybe maybe you can take the cold.
I can't, you know, maybe get yourself a nice Montana little baby ranch and and raise a couple of uh cattle and and hang out with a buffalo roam.
Who knows?
We have a beautiful country, I'll tell you that.
I know we do.
We really do.
We have to take advantage of it and and make it make it the best it can be, you know.
So yeah, I've d I've never been afraid to move and other people have, and uh I I I'm just not a homebody like that.
I I uh I don't get locked into houses, I don't get locked into properties.
I just you know, I try to be happy wherever I am, and I have God in my life, so I mean, what else do you need beyond that?
That's right.
That's right.
You said it.
All right, thank you, Margie.
God bless you and all my friends in New York, okay.
Uh Gail is in Washington State.
Your state's a mess too.
How are you, Gail?
I'm doing well, Sean.
Thanks.
Hey, um what's going on?
Well, I was thinking about the debate and the way that Trump should handle it.
I think he and his team should put together a website that has facts and links to all the information that they will most likely be covering during the debate.
And while it's going on, while he's got eyeballs on him, he should give that website out and encourage people to go there and do research for themselves and see the policies, see the numbers, see the difference for themselves.
I don't think it's a bad idea, and I'm um I think that would be great for Trump to do that.
Uh I would expect that a lot of the questions are gonna be very predictable.
Probably half the debate is gonna be about uh democracy in peril, retribution.
Uh it's gonna be about January sixth.
It's It's gonna be about uh the twenty twenty election, it's gonna be about abortion.
Uh they're gonna try and avoid the topics that would impact Joe, and they're just gonna try and stick with with the superfluous.
Donald Trump will be it'll be a three-on-one debate.
Uh he's he's certainly aware of it.
I think the biggest thing challenge he has is not to allow them to piss him off, because that's what they're gonna be.
Joe's strategy is gonna be to call him a convict a thousand times, and I wouldn't react to it.
And my answer would be Joe, when you're uh out of office, hopefully in January of of 2025, uh be careful uh about the law forever you started because uh there's a lot of incriminating evidence on your son's laptop about you, but we can save that for another day.
There you go.
I think you're right.
That's exactly how it's gonna play out during the debate.
Hang in there, Gail.
God bless you.
Uh Merlin, Arizona.
We need Arizona desperately.
How are you, Merlin?
Yes.
Uh it's a pleasure to speak with you, Sean.
I'm uh big fan of yours.
I've been listening to you for a long time since uh Hannity Combs era.
Um thank you.
Uh I do have a concern.
I've been hearing a lot on the polls and stuff like that.
It's almost as if the Democrats know that they're going to be losing the presidency and they're not really throwing much weight into that to keeping it.
Uh I noticed in the swing states like Nevada and Arizona where I'm at, that he's leading greatly in those polls, but the other ones like Ruben Gallego and the all the Senates in uh the uh Congress positions, the Democrats are leading, so it's almost as if they don't care about the presidency.
We'll be sitting there uh cheering on when Trump wins and grateful that he's in there, but then it could possibly turn out to be a lame duck presidency if we lose the House and the Senate, and I just wanted to know your take on that.
What you're saying is absolutely true.
There's a gap between Donald Trump seems to be outperforming Senate candidates and congressional candidates, and uh all I can say to any voter is don't split your ticket.
That if you want Donald Trump to be able to govern and get things done, he's gonna need a Republican Senate and Republican House, and he's gonna need the biggest majorities possible.
So if you want Donald Trump to have a successful four years, you've got to make that a top priority for sure.
So, you know, I I do see the gap.
It does concern me, but I'm just urging people, you know, we still have time for these these candidates to step up and get their message out.
And and I'd make that very plea to people.
Don't send Donald Trump to Washington alone.
You know, send people that support him and support his agenda with him so that he can be successful.
And the more successful he is, the better off it is for all of us.
Kind of that simple.
I agree a hundred percent.
I enjoyed uh the four years that he was in.
Uh my pay went up drastically.
I've been a truck driver for 33 years, and uh now we're feeling the the crunch of it all as to what's going on, especially with the high fuel prices and everything.
And I just like I said, I I've seen both those and listening to the polls, and I think it was Jake Tapper that kind of brought it out, and uh Mike Delgiorno brought a little bit uh on to it also, saying that you know, let's not uh let's not lose the prize, let's not send him there by himself.
We've got to look at everything, not just the presidency.
Well said.
I can't say it any better, and I hope people now with 139 days left till election day and 90 days till early voting starts.
I hope people are dialing in because this is gonna happen fast.
We're nine days out of this first debate.
These are important, consequential times, and and we've got to treat them as such.
All right, quick break, right back to our phones.
Our toll-free number is 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program as we continue this Tuesday.
*Music*
The left is trying to extinguish conservative voices, and he's fighting fire with fire.
Standing up for your beliefs.
It's Sean Hannity on the air right now.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean is on number.
Vicky is next.
Uh Vicky, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
I'm uh longtime listener, watcher, uh time caller.
Well, I'm glad you checked in.
What's going on out in Arizona?
Well, I live in Prescott and I cannot get a job to save my soul.
I am now supplementing my meager social security with delivering food.
And actually you'd like you like do Uber Eats or Instacart.
What do you do?
Door Dash.
If you do DoorDash, are you allowed to do Uber Eats?
Are you allowed to do Instacart?
You know, I I think you can.
You'd have to really more kind of manage your time pretty well because when you're on DoorDash and you you've got a set number of hours you're gonna work, they expect you to be picking up their orders.
So it's kind of I would think it would be pretty hard to do two things, but I do know drivers out there that do it.
You're you're kind of stuck doing this because of the Biden economy.
That's what you're telling us.
Oh, absolutely.
This didn't happen to me until 2021.
Um I was and uh then my husband died in twenty.
My savings went out.
Our savings, uh the the stock market went, you know what happened with it.
And so yes, I'm now living on a very meager social security, and this is the job that I can get at my age.
That's it that's the thing.
Nobody will hire anybody over sixty-five.
Is it is it enough to help you get by?
But I am getting yes.
Uh I'm proud of you.
You know why?
Because you're doing what you need to do to survive.
You're a survivor, and I like your grit and I love your toughness.
I wish you didn't have to do it.
I wish you could just enjoy your retirement years.
Um I hope you find some personal satisfaction in doing it as well because you're providing a great service and doing a great job for people.
And uh, you know, I Well, I have one more question.
I I don't have time unfortunately, but you know, uh stand by.
We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna send you out uh a little care package, okay?
