Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Thanks, Scott Channel.
Hour two.
Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
It's 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, sometimes after a loss in an election, especially a landslide election, you might think there is reason to pause and reflect and analyze and and maybe learn something for why the American people rejected you.
And in spite of legacy media dying in the process, I mean, they they have done nothing but try to destroy Donald Trump for nine straight years.
And that narrative evolved into Nazi fashion racist uh garbage, um, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and so on and so forth.
You you think they might reflect on maybe the issues that are impacting the lives of the American people actually had a big part to play in this, and that the American people turned off the noise of every major newspaper, the three broadcast networks and every liberal cable channel, but that is clearly not happening.
You have Democratic governors now, Daily Caller Report today, other liberal elected officials lining up declaring they will fight back against Donald Trump's hardline agenda uh against illegal immigration.
I guess that means they want to keep the terrorists, the cartels, the murderers, the rapists, uh, those that commit violent crimes against Americans in the country.
Is that what they're arguing for?
Uh you have Democratic governors from Massachusetts, California, Illinois, you know, all seen as potential 2028 presidential contenders, and others, you know, saying they will use their authority to push back against the upcoming second Trump administration agenda, especially on the issue of immigration.
And so these Democratic governors say they are forming a resistance group against Donald Trump.
Uh, you have the Illinois governor, uh Pritzer vowing to do everything I can do to protect undocumented immigrants, in other words, illegal immigrants.
Uh, they say this with the backdrop of what is going on in Georgia.
The man accused of killing Georgia nursing student Lake and Riley has waived the right to a jury, paving the way for a bench trial.
And anyway, um, when you hear what I'm about to play for you, it will shock your conscience and your soul.
And and this is what they are fighting for, and which means they haven't learned a thing about where the electorate, where the American people are on the economy, on energy, on law and order, and on our borders.
Here's the prosecutor in the Lake and Riley case describing how this particular individual that is accused and unvetted Harris Biden illegal when hunting for females at the University of Georgia campus, and how uh Lake and Riley's skull was bashed with a rock repeatedly.
Listen.
On February 22nd, Jose Abarra put on a black hat, a hoodie-style jacket, and some black kitchen style disposable gloves, and he went hunting for females on the University of Georgia's campus.
And when Lakin Riley refused to be his rape victim, he bashed her skull in with a rock repeatedly.
Do you think maybe we should be vetting all of the people that want to come into this country?
Do we do we need to not enforce our laws and have borders and sovereignty in this country?
Well, here's the prosecutor describing the findings of the medical examiner's autopsy of Lake and Riley's body.
Her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation.
Listen.
So the medical examiner.
Uh Lakin was sent to GBI headquarters in Atlanta or decatur, where Dr. DeMarco conducted an autopsy on her the very next day after her murder.
What the medical examiner found is that Lakin had complex, a complex discuse me, depressed skull fracture on the left side of her head, and she had eight other lacerations on the left side of her head.
Which literally look like holes.
She had a small subarachnoid hemorrhage on the right side of her head, and she had multiple, multiple abrasions to her face, her neck, and her torso.
She also had what's called patikia in both eyes, which is consistent with some form of asphyxia.
An asphyxia can come in many forms, can be a drowning, but most importantly in this case, it can be a form of strangulation.
It can be manual, it can be literature, it can be all kinds of things.
But what the medical examiner said in this case is that Lake and Riley died as a result of the effects of bone force trauma to the head and asphyxia in OS, not otherwise specified.
Can't really say if it was from chest compressions, maybe manual strangulation, but there was something going on in this struggle where this defendant deprived her brain of oxygen for long periods of time.
Well, that's number two.
And I'll play one more.
Then we'll go to Senator Ted Cruz, who's been on the front lines fighting against illegal immigration, along with Governor Greg Abbott of Texas.
Now she describes the state of Lake and Riley's uh body when the officer found her.
Listen to this, and maybe for a second, imagine if this was somebody that that is meaningful in your life, or your daughter, or you or you or somebody in your family.
Until 5 p.m., they called the University of Georgia police and reported that Lake and Riley was missing.
So it isn't until the police respond immediately.
And they take that digital profile, and you'll meet Sergeant Maxwell.
He is the officer that found Lakin's body.
And he it takes him, even with her digital profile.
This is a very forested area.
Um and she obviously wasn't on the running trail.
She was off the running trail.
And it took him about twenty-five minutes, even with her digital profile, for him to locate her.
And he did locate her, and you're going to see the body cam let is of him locating her.
And what he found when he found her is that she was hidden, kind of almost under a tree and covered up with a bunch of leaves.
The first thing he noticed was that her breasts were completely exposed.
Her all three layers of her top clothing were pulled up above and around her neck.
He also noticed that her running tights, which she typically wears above her navel, were pulled down and her underwear was protruding from her tights.
He also noticed severe injuries to the left side of her head.
He began immediately trying to save her life, but he could tell that she was dead.
She was cold.
We've had dozens and dozens that have been raped.
I scrolled their names regularly on my TV show, Hannity on Fox News.
We have known terrorists in the country, except we don't know where they are.
We have uh Venezuelan and and other gang members.
This guy, Jose Abarra, is is linked to uh, according to the New York Post, the trend day Aragua link migrant group from Venezuela.
And this is now okay with with these prominent democratic governors that are gonna form a resistance to protect unvetted Harris Biden illegals in this country.
Senator Ted Cruz, welcome back to the program.
Congratulations on your big victory.
And and uh thankfully you ended up with a much bigger margin than uh we thought.
I know at times that some of the polls had it close, but you pulled it out by a pretty comfortable margin.
Well, Sean, great to be with you.
I will say, listening to that trial testimony, it is horrifying.
What happened to Lake and Riley is truly grotesque.
It is evil, it should never have happened.
It was the result of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Democrats releasing violent criminal illegal aliens doing so every single day.
And every day we saw American victims as a result.
Americans murdered, women raped, children brutalized every single day.
The good news that is gonna end, and it's going to end on January twentieth of next year.
It is going to end when Donald Trump is sworn into office when we have a new president in office.
We're gonna have a Republican Senate, we're gonna have a Republican House.
And Sean, mark my words, we will secure the border.
It's not gonna take a year, it's not gonna take six months.
It is going to happen in January and February, and we are going to find these criminal, violent, illegal immigrants.
We are gonna arrest them, we are going to deport them, we are gonna get rid of the Venezuelan gang members, we are gonna get rid of the murderers and rapists.
And it's what should have happened four years ago if we had a government that was actually protecting American citizens.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
And your calls coming up on the other side, 800-941 Sean, our number as we continue this Friday.
We continue now with Texas Senator, just re-elected Ted Cruz of Texas.
Your calls will be coming up as well.
800-941 Sean as we continue this Friday.
The government we have now aided and abetted in the law breaking, Senator.
So they they're the ones that said, come in.
Joe Biden himself said come in.
They're the ones that bragged about undoing all of the Trump uh executive orders that were in place, and with the stroke of a pen, our borders are wide open, and the welcome sign was put out.
And there was not vetting of any of them.
Now we're talking about criminal illegal immigrants.
What do we do about the 12 and a half million people that entered our country and didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty?
And the idea that we have states that are saying that we're not going to be allowed to arrest them, that they'll be protected in their states.
Is that is that legal?
Well, let me say, first of all, the phrase you used was exactly accurate when you said that Biden and Harris aided and embedded this invasion.
That is exactly right.
They didn't just simply let them in.
They didn't just simply refuse to follow the law, although they did.
When illegal immigrants, right now, today, there are illegal immigrants crossing into America today.
When they are apprehended, number one, right now today, they go look for border patrol.
They turn themselves into border patrol.
They want to be apprehended.
Why?
Because Border Patrol is ordered to ask them where would you like to go?
And they say, I want to go to Houston.
I want to go to Dallas.
I want to go to New York.
I want to go to Chicago.
I want to go to Miami.
And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris put them on a plane and they put them on a bus and they fly them to whatever city they want to go, and they they they put them up and they give them phones and they give them money.
And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democrats are the last mile of the human trafficking network.
It's not that they allowed this to happen.
They actively facilitated it.
They are the cause.
They are engaged in human trafficking and they are.
Hey, Senator, let me be more blunt than you're going to be here.
They have blood on their hands, Senator.
And we have known terrorists in the country.
And if we are attacked by Harris Biden unvetted illegals in 9-11 or some type of worse attack, they will have more blood on their hands.
They will have allowed this, they will have caused this, they will have aided and abetted and the entry of these people.
And I'm sorry, Senator, but it is the single greatest national security threat in our lifetime, and it's all it was all preventable.
And terrorism, I think we have the greatest risk of terrorism we've had any time in our lifetime.
It is so bad that none other than Bill Clinton said what you just said.
He said Lake and Raleigh would still be alive if they had vetted these people before they came in, if they weren't releasing murderers.
When Bill Clinton is saying you Democrats have gone too far, you know they've got a problem.
And you mentioned a minute ago, Sean, election night.
I gotta say, election night across the country was phenomenal.
The results were incredible.
President Trump winning, winning the popular vote by millions, all seven battleground states winning all seven.
You mentioned my race.
My race in Texas was a quarter billion dollar race.
It was a massive race.
Chuck Schumer spent over a hundred million dollars trying to beat me.
I ended up winning by nine points.
My margin of victory was a million votes statewide, a million votes.
And I'll tell you what I'm most excited about, Sean, is that I won Hispanics in the state of Texas by six points.
That is historic.
That has never happened before.
South Texas, the Rio Gran Valley, which has been Democrat for over a hundred years, South Texas turned red.
That is a generational shift.
And it turns out that when you let 11 and a half million people invade your home, people get pissed off, and suddenly they start voting for someone who says we're going to protect your kids.
And I would be remiss if I didn't take a minute.
Just to say to you, Sean, thank you.
And to all of your listeners, thank you.
You throughout every day, but throughout the election season, Sean, you were a warrior every day telling the truth, shining light in darkness.
And I got to tell you, I would go on your radio show, I'd go on your TV show.
As you know, I would say my website, Ted Cruz.org, and your listeners would go in incredible numbers and support the campaign, and you were focused on we've got to save America.
And I gotta say, Sean, every day you make a difference, but in this election, you made a transformative difference.
And I I'm just here to say thank you and thank you to your incredible patriots who listen to your show.
President Trump is hitting the ground running, focused on the task at hand.
We've got a Republican Senate and a Republican House.
I'll tell you, my focus is exactly as you said, rolling up my sleeves and getting to work to deliver on this mandate.
Number one, to secure the border.
We will secure the border.
That is going to happen.
Number two, on the economy, getting the economy move moving, bringing jobs back, bringing small businesses back, lowering inflation.
That is gonna happen too.
Number three, ending the war on energy and opening up energy dominance for America.
That is going to happen.
And number four, keeping America safe.
The world is dangerous.
Our enemies are stronger.
We need to protect America and stand up to our enemies.
And I'm I'll tell you right now.
Both of the wars that were started under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the war in Ukraine and the war in Israel, both of them will end this next year because a strong commander-in-chief and a strong America are enemies of a strong America, and we will have peace and prosperity instead.
Senator Cruz, uh great to have you uh for another six years.
Thank you, sir.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Now that we made some money for our sponsors, let's go back to making the liberals crazy.
The handman is back on the radio right now.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we got a controversy with Whoopi Goldberg and a bakery called Holterman's.
We're going to tell you about that in a second, and we'll get to your calls coming up.
Uh, look, if you're exhausted every single day, or is you know, you eat lunch, you come back to the office, and you're just so tired, the 3 p.m. crash, or maybe you struggle with memory issues, or maybe you have a hard time focusing all day long, maybe just tired of kind of not being well and being sick and tired all the time.

All right, so controversy has emerged.
Whoopi Goldberg claiming that a bakery in Staten Island, New York, refused to serve her because of her politics.
Uh, let me give you a little background on the bakery.
It's 146 years that it's been in business.
They have a boiler that happens to be 70 years old, which is almost incomprehensible to me, but it's 70 years old.
And the boiler was out.
They put it in an order, and they wouldn't were not going to be able to fulfill it because of the problems that they were having for the better part of a week.
And Whoopi went public claiming that this bakery in Staten Island, New York, was refusing to serve her because of her politics.
Here's what she said.
My birthday dessert today is was my one of my mom's favorites from when she was a kid.
And she talked about these all the time.
They're called Charlotte Roos.
And it's a sponge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
Now, I should tell you, Charlotte Roos has no political leanings.
And the place that made these refused to make them for me.
Oh.
Really?
Yes.
What?
Oh, no, no.
No.
No.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
They said that their their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I'm not telling you who made them.
But it's I it's not can't be because I'm a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics.
Uh okay.
Well, they had a boiler problem, and it's unfortunate.
And anyway, the owner of the bakery, it's called Holterman's Bakery.
It's very well known.
Uh has been overwhelmed with support from their customers that were more understanding than Whoopi Goldberg.
And by the way, if Whoopi was not served because of her politics, I'd be the first person to say that's complete BS and I and ridiculous.
If I own a business, I don't care what your politics are.
You're a customer of mine.
I I I am there to serve you and the customers always right.
I'm sure they wanted to fulfill this order.
That's how you stay in business.
You you take care of your customers.
Unfortunately, things sometimes break, and it's a pain in the neck.
Sometimes we have technical problems, it drives me nuts.
Anyway, here is the owner thanking everyone for their support after this was said on national television.
It took my whole family.
It takes everybody, the community that comes every day to see us.
We have this everyday conversation with everybody.
How's the family?
How's this?
This is what makes Holtimans Holzmans.
It's the community, it's my fellow everything that come out and us giving back to the community that makes this go round.
And if it wasn't for you and Saturn Island to make this work, we still wouldn't be here today.
So I know my brother, Billy work hard.
Joe, my baker in the back, is he has six days a week.
He gives his heart and soul to this place.
And you know what?
My father always said you do what you love.
I'm telling you, this is my heart.
And I thank you so much that everybody come out and support us with a Holzman family.
It means the world to me.
It really does.
Thank you so much.
Oh man.
I feel so bad for them.
I really do.
Linda, by the way, did you did you happen to notice that Jill Holterman sounds a lot like you with that?
I actually think Jill sounds lovely.
I love her.
I think she sounds just wonderful.
I love it.
By the way, if if I ever make it back to New York for a visit in a Minstaten Island, I want to go to that bakery.
First of all, it is awesome.
It's one of those bakeries like old school bakers.
It smells amazing from outside.
You're like, okay.
Those are the best ones.
You know what I think I ought to do?
I I what did Whoopi order?
Do we know?
I don't I have no idea what you Charlotte Roos.
Charlotte Roos.
It's sponge cake with like a whipped cream on top.
Would you call Jill Holterman on my behalf?
And will you order three of whatever Whoopi wants?
And as soon as the boiler is fixed, will you have it sent over to Whoopi Goldberg?
Can you work on the bigger?
Yes, as soon as Whoopi apologizes to Joe, I'll be happy to do that.
Not a problem.
Well, you uh that part I didn't say.
I didn't say demand.
I know, I'm just I'm just supplying an idea because you see, Jill.
That's applying idea.
So you said I'll do it my way, whether you like it or not.
But don't you have to do that?
I'll be honest, I'm still wiped out from the election.
I just don't have the bandwidth anymore.
I really don't you agree with me?
I mean, this poor woman, she literally the she's standing outside of her place of business.
She's been up since two o'clock in the morning.
She's got a boiler that she doesn't want to replace because it's probably built better than anything they built today.
And this now she's got Whoopi Goldberg going on national television.
I'm not gonna give out the name.
Meanwhile, you know somebody leaked it somewhere because everybody had the name.
She's fielding calls all day.
Some of them are very supportive, some of them are hating her.
Meanwhile, she's like, I didn't know what they were calling about.
Because unlike everybody else, she wasn't watching the view.
She was working.
She was, you know, fulfilling her obligation to her community.
You know how hard it is to make a profit in the bakery.
You know what?
I it it that it is not a it's like it's not a big margin business.
It just isn't.
Not at all.
It's a and let me tell you something.
I don't have the bandwidth.
I should fight you and make you make you follow up and send this the the cakes to Whoopi.
But now it now, if there was a a uh a company, if there was a business that discriminated against her because of her politics, I'd be the first person to defend her.
That's you mean like how they discriminated against us and called us fascists and garbage and said we were all targeted.
But listen, I'm uh I keep saying this.
We can't do to them what they've done to us.
Yes, but we can't highlight it and point it out and tell them like see it doesn't feel so good, does it?
In this case, it was wrong.
It was just wrong.
It was just wrong.
I mean, the poor lady's boiler, if she needs help financially to get a boiler back up, I'll be glad to donate to a lot of people.
I don't even think that was I think it's just seventy years old and they're trying to fix it.
And she was very honest, like, hey, I don't want to not really get the parts for it.
You can't get it.
Well, no, she said to her, I can't I can't make the order.
I literally can't fulfill the order, so I don't want to tell you I'm gonna do it and not do it.
If it were me and somebody from you know ABC and the View called and we gave me this huge order and I didn't fulfill it, and then they're gonna go and potentially trash my business.
Yeah, I would have done the same thing that she didn't said, sorry, we're we are equivalent.
You gotta explain to your customers, please.
I hope you understand my equipment's down.
I'm doing everything I can say.
And what did Whoopi say?
Oh, yeah, they gave all kinds of excuses.
I'm like, or could just be the truce.
Could just be somebody could be, right?
Having a problem, you know.
All right.
All right, quick break, we'll come right back.
We'll hit the phones 800-941 Sean our number as we continue this Friday.
Listen, God forbid if somebody breaks into your home, your business, you gotta protect your life, your family's life, your employees' life, and your mind you have a plan.
You know that you will be successful and you'll save lives and you'll take care of the threat.
Now, whether you're an ex-Navy SEAL, long time gun owner, maybe you're new to firearms, you know, this is where a nightmare scenario can begin for you because there are powerful people that do not like the fact that any Americans have guns.
They want mandatory gun buybacks.
We know all about that.
And how many times do we see the people that are victims of crime, they've they're the ones that end up getting arrested for defending themselves, not the criminals.
It's insane.
This is why the US ECA exists.
And one thing they want to give every one of you listening to my voice right now, they will give you instant access for free to a life-saving resource.
It's the USCCA concealed carry and family defense guide.
You simply text my last name Hannity to the number 872.

I've been a proud member for over nine years.
We trust the US ECA because they give you world-class training, self-defense liability insurance.
In other words, if that moment comes and and and you have to defend yourself or saving your life and your family's life, they're gonna you that you'll have an army behind you.
And you can find out about membership while you get access to the concealed carry and family defense guide.
Just text my last name, Hannity, H A N N I T Y 722, and find out all about the USCCA and membership to protect your family.
Hannity 87222 today.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Music All right, let's get uh to our busy telephones here.
Dan is in Oregon.
Dan, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Do real good.
Hey, it's an honor to talk to you.
Um I'll get to the point here.
I uh my hope is that uh Trump kills this green deal and shuts it down shuts the dead down, and I'll tell you my take on it.
Um it's been said that they want to put seventy-five percent of America's farmland into solar farms.
We have a two hundred and sixty acre ranch in central eastern Oregon.
Our neighbors have all signed on to solar the solar thing.
It's it's not a done deal yet, but they've committed to give into it.
My hope is the defunded so it shuts it down.
Because if they go through with putting their ranches to solar, it's gonna totally surround us with solar panels to the point that we have a ranch that has been in my wife's family for fifty years that we will no longer be able to reside here if that takes place because Nobody wants to live in a microwave oven situation.
Not only that, these solar solar panels are gonna destroy the elk habitat, the deer habitat, the wild turkey habitat, and all the other animals that are frequenting this area.
And it's really, you know, I moved from Arizona to come out here because we took over this ranch after my mother in law died, put a lot on the line to come out here, and I I really don't want to throw it all away and have to go back to Arizona or do something else.
We want to make our life here, and if these solar range these solar farms are up, we're we're gonna be choked out of our property.
I don't want that to happen.
I want you to stay in touch with this program and if you ranchers are getting into trouble, uh I want to be the first to come to your defense and call attention to it and make sure the administration knows about it and we'll we'll find the person in in charge um and we'll make sure that we get this right for you because uh thank God for you ranchers and thank God for our farmers and thank God for our truckers and thank God for the people that put food in our our refrigerators and our stomachs every day and
and you're one of them and you can't have your business upended like that.
But I I've got to imagine with the new sheriff in town, new administration in town, things are likely going to change and change dramatically.
But we'll we will stay on t uh on top of it.
Linda, make sure he has a number that he can get through to our team if something happens, okay?
Can I can I tell you one more aspect of this?
It's it's already taken place in a little town called Bake Oven and the solar panels are in place and all of a sudden they found out that the ground's sinking, so they're gonna have to go back in and redrill and reset these things.
These aren't even hooked up.
Basically the only people that are making money on this are the contractors installing it because they're getting paid by the government to do it, and then they put these fields of electric of uh solar panels up and they don't even hook them to a grid.
As long as they're in the sol that fellow the contractors carry about because they they're paid by the government, and so you've got all these panels just sitting there dormant and doing nothing, not even hooked up to anything.
Meanwhile, all that farmland's been destroyed, and it you can never farm it again with what they do to it with the gravel and rock that they haul in, the drilling and everything it it totally decimates farmland and we'll be forced to get our produce and beef and whatnot from China at this rate if they take over our farm fields like that.
And I'm just hoping to God that Trump can defund this stuff and put the kibosh on it.
Because we got half of our community that's for it and half of it's against it.
The people that are for it are seeing dollar signs.
And I'm sorry, but this is greed driven.
And I think we're supposed to be stupid.
As I said, stay in touch with us and and I'll make sure we make sure people are aware of the issue.
Okay, that's we'll we'll do the best we can to bring it to people's attention.
I'm not in charge of the place, but I can definitely, you know, uh I can bring I can highlight the issue and make sure that we make the right decision and and fight to make the right decision, okay?
So give you a stay on the line and we'll get your number.
Uh Don is in South Dakota.
Don, how are you?
Glad you called.
You're losing your governor.
I'm doing fantastic, Sean.
It's a pleasure to talk to you, sir.
You're a great American.
Oh, bless you.
You're a great American.
What's on your mind today, sir?
Well, sir, uh as I mentioned earlier to your call uh screener.
Uh I'm at the age where I could have retired a couple of years ago, and I decided to stay on working.
And uh the occupation I'm in, I'm involved uh directly with uh the energy market segment.
And if Harris would have got in, that would have been it.
It was done.
I was gonna say I'm if I if I don't draw my Social Security now, I'm not gonna be able to get it in two years.
All right, your Social Security's gonna be fine.
Work as long as you want, and when you want to retire, retire.
I mean, how can you mind if I ask how old you are?
Uh I'm gonna be sixty-five in March.
Yeah.
I mean, uh look, I mean, you can talk to your accountant or or people in the know econom you know, on finances, you know, there's a benefit if you wait longer to collect your social security, etc.
etc.
The sad part is is we know eventually they're gonna means test it.
We know eventually that you know, probably our kids will never see their social security money.
And it just is a shame unless we become So energy rich and energy dominant.
I think that is the this and we cut back on waste fraud and abuse like uh Vivek and Elon are going to do and transform government.
I mean, those those are ways that we can really revitalize America's economy.
And I I hope we do all of that.
Um, I have a lot of hope that we will, and we can preserve and save social security, Medicare from insolvency, and and stop taxing the American people into the grave and let Americans, you know, benefit from the natural resources that we all inherited.
Anyway, I do appreciate your call, my friend.
God bless you.
And uh good luck making your decisions.
I know sometimes that's hard.
A lot of my friends that retire and have retired, within like two months, they're like bored out of their minds.
Linda, have you met people like that?
They are so yes, I know someone who would be like that if that's your question.
Yeah, who's that?
It rhymes with Mon Manity.
Uh-huh.
So before I signed my last contract, which wasn't long ago, uh my son go, I asked my son, and he goes, Dad, you dad, you can't quit.
Dad, no.
I'm like, why not?
He's I thought he was afraid I'd show up at the office every day.
He goes, No, no, no.
Dad, if you quit, you're gonna die.
I mean, what kind of comment is that?
What cut what kind of comment is that?
He I don't I think he just doesn't want me showing up at the the family office.
Unbelievable.
It just means he'll have more quality time with you, you know.
Yeah, no, I think he wants less quality time with his dad.
