	This is an iHeart podcast.
	Let not your heart be troubled.
	You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.

	Pledge with us 25 days to go into very important midterm elections.
	And it is tight.
	It's going to take a lot of momentum and a lot of effort and time by every single person that listens to this show.
	And if you can bring about 10 other people with you to the polls, then we can shock the world again and another miracle can happen.
	Things are really, really looking up on the Senate side.
	I'll go through those numbers in the course of the program today.
	We got our pollsters coming up.
	John McLaughlin and Doug Schoener are going to join us.
	Newt Gingrich will check in strategy-wise for the next 25 days for Republicans and some of these tight races.
	I've been picking 10 of those a night for the very purpose of letting you know whether or not you're in one of those districts that matters the most.
	Then, of course, we have Senate races that are also important.
	One in Montana, North Dakota, Indiana.
	You got Arizona, Nevada, Missouri.
	You've got Florida and a few other states that are key.
	If Republicans could run the table, look, I'm a dreamer.
	I'm not expecting we're going to run the table.
	But if we can have major pickups where we deserve to have them, you know, just think the president might have as many as two or three more Supreme Court appointments in a short period of time.
	Brett Kavanaugh is already having an impact on the court.
	There was a story out today in the LA Times that Brett Kavanaugh spoke up just earlier this week on Wednesday in defense of the Trump administration's view that legal immigrants with criminal records must be arrested and held for deportation, even years after they were convicted and completed their sentences.
	In other words, you can't come to America and have one of the few open opportunities that everybody in the world would cherish and then come here and break our laws.
	At issue, by the way, was a federal law that calls for mandatory detention and possible deportation of criminal aliens, including legal immigrants convicted of crimes ranging from violent felonies to drug possession, etc.
	In a class action lawsuit brought up shockingly in California.
	You have lawyers for the ACLU complaining the mandatory detention policy has been applied to lawful immigrants who had lived and worked in the community, et cetera, et cetera, after being convicted for crimes such as drug possession.
	And Kavanaugh said he saw no basis for putting any time limit on arresting immigrants for past crimes.
	In other words, if you're going to come to America and you want to be a part of our family, you've got to start with one basic, simple, fundamental rule, and that is that you've got to obey our laws.
	I think that should be basic and fundamental for anybody.
	The issue of incivility is now back in the forefront even more.
	I mean, it shouldn't surprise anybody.
	And by the way, what is really happening, we're going to play, James O'Keefe is going to join us.
	And the Democrat Bredesen, who's running against Marsha Blackburn, who's now began to pull away in the polls a little bit there, him and his campaign staff caught on tape absolutely saying he's lying to the people of Tennessee for the very purpose of getting elected.
	And they say it not once, but they say it over and over and over and over again.
	I'm going to play it for you later in the program today, but I mean, it is mind-numbing that people have zero truth or ability or character that they can be honest with who they are and what they believe.
	And the problem for Bredeson, just like the problem for people like Claire McCaskill or Heidi Hekamp or Joe Donnelly or Cinema, oh, way do we get to the tape on cinema today, or some of these other Democrats that are running, John Tester, is they can't be honest with who they are and be honest with their voters of what they're going to do when they get to Washington, if they get to Washington.
	Because when they get there, here's what they're going to do.
	Even though they're in red states that overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, they're going to get to Washington and they're going to vote for Chuck Schumer.
	That's their first vote.
	And then they're going to vote with Chuck Schumer 98% of the time because that's what Democrats do.
	There is no voice of moderation in the modern Democratic Party.
	I got to give one little tip of the hat to Joe Manchin in West Virginia.
	Frankly, why he stays a Democrat in this day and age, I have no idea.
	But Republicans also are offering solutions and answers and solving problems.
	And the numbers bear it out all across the board, which is why, you know, historically in midterm elections, people don't like to show up.
	But if you don't show up, all of the progress that we've made in the next two years is in jeopardy.
	And you're going to get endless investigations, possible impeachment.
	They've stated publicly they want their crumbs back.
	They have stated publicly, in other words, they want to raise taxes.
	Well, that's what created the last eight years of Obama, which put 13 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty.
	And he became the only president in history ever to never reach 3% GDP growth in a single year.
	And he gave up on manufacturing jobs.
	Those jobs are never coming back.
	Well, in less than two years, Trump's brought back more than 400,000 of them.
	Half the time, he brings it back, not only by ending burdensome regulation and asking businesses, well, what can we do to help facilitate you working here and building here and creating factories and manufacturing centers here?
	And when they tell him, well, you know, it's costing us, you know, $1,000 for this regulation per unit and $1,000 per unit because of that regulation.
	Well, the president's wiping those regulations off the books.
	And then on top of that, he's created a tax incentive for business to build in America.
	And then when that doesn't work, he just gets on the phone and just will humiliate publicly any company that is not building in America.
	And then on top of that, he challenges even allies of ours that have taken advantage of us economically on bad trade deals over the years.
	And he's telling them, hey, you're treating us unfairly.
	This is a one-sided deal.
	I'm pulling out.
	And we've now successfully navigated, thread the needle, negotiated better deals with, for example, most recently, Canada and Mexico.
	If you don't fight for a better deal, you're never going to get a better deal.
	It's pretty amazing.
	I know everybody's been all hyped up about Kanye being in the White House.
	You know, I listened very closely to what Kanye was saying, and I'm like, well, I do think we need some prison reform.
	I'll give you an example.
	When the president commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, remember the woman had given like a life sentence, one offense, drug offense, a grandmother.
	Apparently, she had run into horrible economic difficulties.
	It's like there's no nuance sometimes in our criminal justice system.
	Anyway, spent 21, 22 years in jail.
	I had an opportunity to interview her.
	I absolutely fell in love with this woman.
	She comes rushing out of prison after President Trump does this for her, right into the arms of her loving family.
	I got to meet her sister and I got to meet somebody, a lawyer that was working for her pro bono and help make this happen.
	And then she goes to the microphones and she says to America, thank you.
	Thank you for giving me a second chance.
	I'm not going to let you down.
	Well, I want to find all the Alice Marie Johnsons in prison that are like her with that attitude, that deserve a second chance, and, you know, that maybe have been given heavy sentences for reasons, for whatever the reason happens to be.
	I agree with Kanye.
	We can find those people.
	He also talked about safe neighborhoods.
	We need safe neighborhoods.
	I disagree with him on stop and frisk only because the murder rate in New York, while I've been here under Rudy Giuliani, went from about $2,500 a year down to $300, $300 or $400.
	Bernie Kerrig was a big part of the success of that program.
	It just works.
	Unfortunately, you got to go into the neighborhoods where the crimes are being committed, where the shots are being fired, wherever it happens to be.
	And you have aggressive resources and policing of those areas so every man, woman, and child can go to sleep at night and not worry that bullets are going to be flying through their windows in the next hour.
	It's unbelievable that nothing has ever been done at this point to fix Chicago.
	I mean, it's sad.
	It's unnecessary.
	Our human family and talent are being literally, you know, are literally evaporating before our eyes.
	It's unbelievable.
	We can do better.
	We ought to do.
	We owe it to people to do better.
	And then he's talking about bringing jobs and making things in America and creating jobs in America.
	You know, it shouldn't be about conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, but liberalism fails.
	Socialism, redistribution has failed.
	And we see it.
	We've had eight years of it, and it hasn't done a thing.
	And why, as any African-American conservative that speaks out is just beaten up and excoriated on a level that is downright racist and disgusting?
	Why does it matter if somebody happens to be African-American and a conservative?
	And it happens all the time.
	And somehow, in this era of political correctness, it's acceptable to say the most disgusting and atrocious and obnoxious, vicious, vile thing you can.
	Listen to some of the things said about Kanye.
	Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don't read.
	Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft.
	Now, all of a sudden, Kanye, because he's put on a MAGA hat and he's an attention whorer like the president, he's all of a sudden now the model spokesperson.
	He's the token Negro of the Trump administration.
	This was an embarrassment.
	Kanye's mother is rolling over in her grave.
	I think you had there a man who's clearly not okay and a president who's willing to exploit that.
	Well, it was a combination of stream of consciousness.
	I felt like I was sitting in on a psychiatric visit and a commercial for Donald Trump on the question of mental health, on the question of exploiting him.
	It felt very exploitive to me.
	There was something very fragile and sad about Kanye pulling out his phone and frantically typing in his code.
	We all saw it.
	I think it was four zeros and pulling up some weird picture of a car.
	I mean, just to expand on that.
	It seems like an important point.
	I haven't heard anyone else on television make it.
	But if you think you're going to get a thoughtful play-by-play and political analysis, you're not, because that was an assault on our White House.
	I'm just going to be honest, and I may get in a lot of trouble for it.
	I feel actually feel bad for him.
	What I saw was a minstrel show today.
	Him in front of all of these white people, mostly white people, embarrassing himself.
	This is white supremacy by ventriloquism.
	A black mouth is moving, but white racist ideals are flowing from Kanye West's mouth.
	Kanye West is engaging in one of the most nefarious practices yet.
	A black body and brain are the warehouse for the articulation and expression of anti-black sentiments that have been chin-checked by people with far more rigorous credentials.
	It is so vicious and vile.
	I don't even know where to begin.
	How is that acceptable to anybody?
	I don't know Kanye except I've talked to him twice in my life.
	And we talked about safer cities like the city of Chicago.
	We talked about economic empowerment and opportunity for people, for everybody in this country.
	He's a billionaire, and he is attacked on that vicious, horrible level.
	I don't even know what to say.
	My friend Heisman Trophy-winning football great Herschel Walker called out CNN's Don Lemon for allowing all of those insults to go out against Kanye West.
	And he questions his on-air behavior.
	And as his guests are referring to him, I don't even want to repeat what you just heard.
	I don't even want to repeat it.
	It's so downright despicable.
	He went to Twitter.
	I went to bed appalled over Don Lemon's fake news, CNN despicable behavior, laughing, you know, and laughing at some of the comments made by his guests about Kanye West and his visit with the president.
	Woke up wondering, why does CNN not take all three of these people off the air?
	By the way, I don't call for boycotts, but it's just unbelievable.
	What did he say?
	What was the content of his remarks?
	The content of his remarks were prison reform so the system is fair.
	His comments were about job creation for every American so they can have nice homes, safe neighborhoods, a nice car, and a better future for their kids, and entrepreneurship and building things in America.
	That was the gist of it.
	Disagrees on the issue of stop and frisk.
	So what?
	An opportunity to maybe help better people's lives, and this is the result?
	Just like Kavanaugh, who's ever going to want to get in the public eye in this atmosphere and try and fight for a better tomorrow?
	Who wants to do it if this is the way you're treated?
	Just a shameful, disgusting display.
	With only a kite, a house key, and wet hemp string, Benjamin Franklin captured lightning in a bottle.
	Over 260 years later, with a little resourcefulness, ingenuity, and grit, we're not only capturing energy from the sun and wind, we're storing it.
	Ensuring Americans have the energy they need whenever they need it.

	All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity show 800-9401, Sean, toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	So much happening.
	You know, I just wonder, I think there's something we can't factor in here.
	There's actually two things that are just unknown.
	With the president, I know the president is going to be in Ohio tonight.
	President's been now traveling the country.
	You know, I'd love the fact that, you know, probably political people around the president are telling him, well, you may not want to get involved in this.
	If Republicans lose, they're going to blame you, blah, blah, blah.
	That's just not how he rolls.
	If you fight hard and you give something your all and you don't win, at least you can look in the mirror and say you did everything you could do because there's a lot at stake.
	Now, it's not going to be the end of the world if the Democrats win.
	It's just going to make everything harder and more divisive and more difficult.
	And it's going to waste our time and slow our progress.
	That's really the truth.
	And it's important that we keep the momentum.
	Are you better off than you were two years ago?
	Are you safer, more secure?
	Is the economy better off?
	On every measure, we know the answer to it.
	But watching Democrats unhinged is pretty amazing.
	All right, we got tapes on, yes, Bredison is running in Tennessee and Cinema in Arizona.
	We'll play those next.
	All right, 25 to the what?
	What do you, why, why?
	Go ahead, do your intro, then I'll interrupt you.
	25 to the top of the hour.
	Well, you were going to interrupt me anyway.
	I might as well get it out of the way.
	Well, I mean, you know, you're enjoying saying 25 to the top of the hour.
	I never want to interrupt that.
	Well, I want to make sure people know that it's the bottom of the hour.
	And when it's the top of the hour, so that they can keep track of time in some sense.
	I guess they have a phone or a watch.
	I don't wear watches.
	Heaven help us if we didn't have you for that.
	I don't like any jewelry at all.
	I like nothing.
	I don't want anything on me.
	I'm aware.
	That's why you're never on the show.
	You want to know why?
	Because many of my friends are like into sports cars and watches and all that stuff.
	It means nothing to me.
	I have a phone.
	The time is on my phone.
	I look on the time.
	I look at my phone.
	I actually really like watches for men.
	You do or you don't?
	I do.
	I think it's very nice.
	My father wore a Timex.
	He bought it at the local drugstore.
	That's what he wore.
	Was it the black band one?
	They usually had, no, the one that was like silver or gold.
	He'd change colors every once in a while.
	Well, in keeping with silver and gold and all things precious and rare, I just wanted to give a little shout out to our new person, Kylie.
	Because, you know, I just feel like she's just doing such a fun thing.
	I mean, the one that you ignored the other day.
	Yes, I ignored her and paraded her.
	Offering birthday wishes to everybody else on the team, the person that I stuck up for that you ignored.
	I know.
	It's really horrible that I did not wish her a birthday when it was not her birthday.
	I don't know what I was thinking that day.
	I don't know what you were thinking that day.
	So I just wanted to make amends and just let America know how great.
	America?
	America.
	How great Kylie was doing.
	Because I've been in Singapore.
	No, Singapore.
	Kylie is now.
	Your now sister-in-law, who got engaged right here on this program to your brother.
	Can you believe that she left me for my brother?
	It's just ridiculous.
	Well, we had a job, rare job opening, and Kylie is doing a wonderful job filling in.
	Isn't she, though?
	I'm so glad we took this time out to talk about it.
	Okay, I got work to do.
	We got an important show to get.
	We've 25 days away from election day.
	See, this is why you need a watch because you just can't keep your time.
	I know I can keep time.
	I have a clock in front of me.
	I don't need to wear a watch.
	That's annoying.
	You're on my time.
	I can reclaim my time.
	I'm reclaiming my time right now.
	The problem is I can't reclaim the time that's been wasted.
	That's true.
	Oh, you think praising Kylie is wasteful?
	You know, I think that's unlikely.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Don't flip this on me because you ignored Kylie earlier in the week.
	I'm not moving.
	You're going to take the city now to waste the time.
	Well, you're the one that you literally ignored everybody else and you allowed people to walk right.
	Linda did not praise you either.
	She didn't praise you.
	Of course not.
	That's just standard operating procedure.
	Thank you, Ethan.
	Forget the guy that buys lunch every day and is the best boss out there.
	It wasn't your birthday, though.
	Well, I bought, didn't I buy pizza today?
	You're right.
	Whenever you buy lunch, we should wish you a happy birthday.
	Happy birthday, Sean.
	The pizza was great.
	I didn't buy the pizza.
	You guys order, you know, sushi or whatever else you get every day.
	I haven't gotten sushi in over a year.
	There is a full office of people out there every day.
	I have no idea who they are or what they do, but once a week, two weeks, I try to buy pizza.
	You need to stop lying because you know everyone in the newsroom.
	You're in everyone's business, and you stop.
	Not to everybody.
	That is such a lie.
	But doesn't mean I know the fame.
	I don't know everybody's name.
	You don't know anybody.
	I honestly don't.
	You didn't know my name for five years.
	All right, goodbye.
	Goodbye.
	Why is it that when you look at the number of Democratic leaders, you know, those out there like Maxine Waters, speaking of her and others, you know, all of this mob violence that we have seen.
	Then you look at Kanye, and then you look at record low unemployment in 14 states, record low unemployment for Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workforce, youth unemployment.
	It's all record lows.
	And then somebody goes in and talks about prison reform, bringing jobs back to America, building factories and manufacturing centers in America, making America great again, and helping those people that want their shot at the American dream, and then talking about eliminating crime in some big cities like Chicago.
	Anyone that dares to try and work on a solution with Donald Trump and craft some real solutions is just unmercifully vilified.
	And that's what they did to Kanye yesterday.
	And, you know, I'm just sitting there saying, wow.
	And it's not new to me.
	They've done it to a lot of our friends on this program, Niger Innis, Denine Barelli.
	She writes about it in the first sentence in her book.
	It's called Blacklash.
	You know, that Google her name and you see what comes up: the horrible things that have been said about she's a wonderful person.
	And her husband, Tom, we love them both.
	You know, you look at the Democratic leaders encouraging mob violence against their opponents.
	Follow them into gas stations and department stores and get in their faces and confront them and kick Sarah Sanders out of a restaurant and Pam Bondi and Secretary Nielsen and literally get in front of Ted Cruz's wife.
	This is what these people have become.
	You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to kick them.
	What you stand for, what's your name?
	Irredeemable, deplorable, we are fortunate enough.
	Cling to God, guns, Bibles, religion.
	That's when civil.
	I can't take it.
	I honestly can't.
	Eric Holder, just kick them.
	Just kick them.
	Anyway, so this is the modern Democratic Party.
	No due process, no presumption of innocence, no constitutional authority.
	You know, Hillary cheats to win a primary, tries to cheat to win a general election.
	They literally use her bought and paid for Russian lies as a means of lying to FISA courts to spy on an opposition party candidate and campaign before the election still doesn't work.
	Then they use it with no evidence.
	They're disseminating that information as a means of starting a phony Russia investigation to put the country into chaos for the last 18 months.
	That still hasn't gone away completely.
	Apparently, according to news, I guess the special counsel's office has now finally agreed to written answers to ridiculous questions because we now know so much about the media leak strategy, the insurance policy, and the fact that this dossier information, which was never verified or corroborated, that was used to commit a fraud on FISA courts, was then also used to initiate and gin up this appointment of Robert Mueller.
	And we got Bruce Orr, you know, funneling Christopher Steele lies to special counsel Mueller's office.
	And where do we find ourselves?
	Over there indicting a bunch of, you know, intel officers in Russia that are never going to come to the U.S. to be tried.
	Okay, I have no doubt.
	I mean, that Putin is corrupt, that his regime is bankrupt and corrupt, that this is a hostile nation, and he's a hostile actor on the world stage.
	Nobody doubts the interference.
	Devin Nunes, he warned everybody in 2014 it was coming in 2016.
	Thank God it didn't impact any votes according to all the studies.
	But literally, there was a backlash and a silent coup attempt by just a small select people in power that happened to be at the FBI and the Department of Justice.
	We still haven't gotten to the bottom of that because the media tries to ignore that story as much as possible.
	It's unbelievable what we've lived through.
	And then, so the Mueller investigation will come to an end.
	Then you'll elect Nancy Pelosi, Gerald Nadler, and Maxine Waters, and they'll start investigation from day one.
	It'll be endless investigation.
	How much progress are they going to make for you, we the people?
	None.
	What is their agenda they're running on?
	It's simple.
	Investigate Trump, impeach Trump.
	They want their crumbs back, open borders, eliminate ICE, keep Obamacare.
	What a great agenda that is.
	All of it's failed.
	Why would we go back to what has failed?
	That's what's at stake.
	Yeah, we could survive it, but why should we?
	We deserve better.
	We can do better.
	Americans now just literally popping their heads out from getting under the enormous economic pressures of the Obama years, the dreadful Obamacare law that has cost families, in some cases, double and triple the premiums they were paying and losing their plans and doctors they were told they can keep.
	It's just horrible.
	Now finally, people are getting to move ahead.
	Energy jobs are on the way in a massive way in this country because of the president opening of Anwar and allowing natural gas and saving the coal industry in states like West Virginia, Kentucky, and other places.
	It's all good.
	You know, the one thing Democrats cannot do is run on who they really are and what they really believe.
	You know, they won't say it as blatantly as I have just said it, but that is their agenda.
	Stop Trump, investigate, impeach Trump.
	Open borders, eliminate ICE sanctuary cities.
	You know, higher taxes, wanting crumbs back.
	Obamacare, in spite of all the failure, they want to double down on stupid.
	Project Veritas actually caught people that work for the Phil Bredesen campaign, literally caught them red-handed.
	Where, you know, Bredeson said he would vote for Kavanaugh.
	Listen to some of this tape.
	He wouldn't really.
	What?
	Vote for Kavanaugh?
	I don't think so.
	No, I'm not going to vote.
	But I was so confused because I just can't believe that he would actually vote.
	Yes, that guy wouldn't.
	But he said he wouldn't.
	It's politics.
	I don't know if that makes it worse or better.
	No, it makes it better, but it's still.
	But what's the, like, I don't understand what's to gain by saying yes.
	Moderate Republicans.
	Is it because of, like, the voters?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So he'll lose voters, I guess.
	Are the people of Tennessee that ignorant?
	Yeah.
	People of Tennessee, you're that ignorant.
	So they're going to lie to you and say that they would have voted for Kavanaugh when there's no way in hell.
	No, no, no.
	That's just, we're just saying that to get some more Republicans on his side.
	No, he's going to get there.
	He's going to do the right thing.
	Don't worry.
	He'd never do that.
	He's just saying it for political purposes.
	Wow.
	Is that what you want?
	Thank God Marcia Blackburn is now beginning to pull away in the state of Tennessee.
	Now, we also have the race that's going.
	Martha McSally is a war hero.
	She's a great patriot.
	And she's running for the Senate against this woman cinema who's running out there, radical Kristen Cinema, radical leftist.
	Anyway, so now we got a tape of Kristen Cinema.
	She was speaking in Texas and she makes no bones about it.
	And I think this should have a big impact on the people out in Arizona where she is literally caught calling the people that she's asking to vote for her crazy.
	Listen.
	And I want to talk to you about some of the things that I think that you can do to stop your state from becoming Arizona.
	You know, my state, I was born and raised in Arizona.
	Born and raised in Tucson, near the border.
	And when we grew up, I remember in first grade, we learned a song about Arizona because Arizona is the state of the five seas.
	So cattle, copper, citrus, cotton, and climate.
	And those were the five things that our state historically made its money off of.
	But I went out a sixth C.
	It's called crazy.
	Oh, they're crazy.
	Arizona isn't crazy.
	Will you please vote for me?
	And there's more disturbing news.
	It was yesterday on FoxNews.com that Kristen Cinema promoted events at Arizona State University featuring a lawyer convicted for aiding an Islamic terror organization and its leader.
	The lawyer in question represented this person that was sentenced to life in prison in the 90s.
	Why?
	For plotting to blow up the UN and an FBI building and more.
	Martha McSally has now finally taken a slight lead.
	Do you want Kristen Cinema, who's calling you in Arizona, Tucson, in Phoenix?
	She's calling you crazy when she's out of state.
	You're going to vote for her?
	Inviting that lawyer, representing someone sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up the UN and an FBI building.
	Great.
	Another race that's really razor-thin is the Dean Heller race in Nevada.
	That is an important seat.
	They get that seat.
	That would be massive for the Republicans.
	Same thing if send John Tester packing in Montana.
	All of these people, Joe Donnelly in Indiana.
	And then you've got Missouri, Claire McCaskill, Bredison and the case of Tennessee.
	And of course, you got Rick Scott running against Bill Nelson in Florida.
	We need Rick Scott is the hardest working politician I know.
	He may not be charismatic, but the guy gets the job done.
	And Ron DeSantis, who's running for governor down in California, but all of these red state senators that are Democrats, you're basically voting for Schumer.
	Let's be honest.
	They're all going to vote for Schumer.
	They're all going to support his agenda.
	They're not going to back away from his agenda.
	They're going to be Schumer Democrats.
	And that means that Schumer will never support an appointee to the Supreme Court of Donald Trump.
	I mean, if the person was perfect and Mother Teresa, they wouldn't appoint her.
	Well, it might be, you know, the perfect example because that brings up issues of abortion.
	But you know what?
	You get the perfect justice because they believe in the Constitution.
	They're not going to support him.
	It just didn't matter.
	Chuck Schumer within seconds.
	Nope.
	They had signs made up.
	We're opposed.
	Fill in the blank.
	these leftist groups all right a lot to get to today uh What do we do strategically to win?
	Newt Gingrich, no better strategist in the Republican Party.
	He's coming up next.
	Also, Project Veritas is James O'Keefe.
	Wow, he blew the Tennessee Senate candidate out of the water with this tape that we have and our pollsters and much more straight ahead.
	And I want to talk to you about some of the things that I think that you can do to stop your state from becoming Arizona.
	You know, my state, I was born and raised in Arizona, born and raised in Tucson, near the border.
	And when we grew up, I remember in first grade, we learned a song about Arizona because Arizona is the state of the five C's so cattle, copper, citrus, cotton, and climate.
	And those were the five things that our state historically made its money off of.
	But I'm out of sixth seed.
	It's called crazy.
	As we see in this very quote, that the states are the laboratories of democracy.
	And then my state, Arizona, is clearly the meth lab of democracy.
	Yeah.
	And I cannot take credit for that line.
	Someone at the Daily Show wrote it, but I'm happy to steal it and use it all the time.
	The meth lab of democracy.
	That's this Kristen cinema that is running out against Martha McSally, who is a war hero in Arizona.
	After the tape we just played in the last hour, where she literally called the people of Arizona when she was giving a speech in Texas crazy.
	Now, we also have Project Veritas.
	James O'Keefe will join us at the bottom of the hour.
	He went undercover at the Bredeson headquarters and got all these people working for the Democrat wanting to unseat or take the seat away from Marsha Blackburn.
	And they're all saying, oh, we're totally lying.
	He's just saying that to get votes.
	We're trying to get Republicans to believe he'll be conservative.
	But when he gets in, believe me, he'll be a Schumer Democrat.
	Unbelievable.
	Just such lying and deception, which goes to my point is Democrats can't run on who they really are.
	Because if they do, they have to admit they're voting for Pelosi.
	They're voting for Schumer.
	They're supporting Jerry Nadler.
	They're going to support Maxime Waters.
	That they're going to support impeachment, endless investigation, open borders, no more ice, higher taxes, they want the crumbs back.
	Obamacare, the disaster that that is.
	25 days to go.
	Joining us now, former Speaker of the House, author of the bestseller, Trump's America, The Truth About Our Nation's Great Comeback.
	Now, I know we could survive if, God forbid, that we lost the House.
	The problem is, is just everything then gets 50,000 times harder.
	And a lot of our progress gets stalled.
	That's what's at stake here.
	Well, the other thing that's at stake here is exactly what was at stake by the time they were done with character assassination and smears on Kavanaugh.
	And that is, if he had gone down, if he had failed, the signal that would have sent to decent human beings to stay out of public life, to not agree to serve, to hide from the filth, would have been horrifying.
	As terrible as it was, at least when it was over, he's now sitting on the Supreme Court.
	So, you know, what hit me, and I was just listening to you thinking, because once again, as you did with Obama way back in 2008, and as you did with Hillary, I think you just cut through something really important.
	I think we should describe this as the year the mask came off.
	Yeah, I think it is.
	I think what's interesting, I don't know, I definitely feel momentum.
	The polls are showing momentum.
	We now have, if we go through all the states, there's a very tight race.
	Heller's up by two out in Arizona.
	McSally, believe it or not, is now up by six.
	This is before the release of these tapes, which I believe is definitely going to hurt in the case of Kristen Sinema.
	Marsha Blackburn is up by eight in Tennessee.
	That is such an important race.
	Ted Cruz has rebounded in spite of all the hype of the Beto O'Rourke and all the money that's thrown against Ted Cruz.
	That is such an important seat.
	Claire McCaskill is down.
	Heidi Heitkamp is down.
	Joe Donnelly is down.
	And I think Tester is vulnerable in Montana.
	I think there's a lot of Senate races that are really winnable in this atmosphere where we just watched the Senate all stand in line but for Joe Manchin and follow Chuck Schumer's lead.
	Well, and remember, if you have that happening in that many states, you're not going to get a blue wave in the House.
	I mean, they're the same voters, they're the same people.
	And the tide is not there.
	But there's something else in what you just said that I think is really important.
	And again, I'm thinking out loud with you, so because you've triggered the reporting you're doing has triggered this in my own thinking.
	I think our folks ought to start shifting towards humor.
	I think I really mean this.
	I think you could take this.
	You know, I mean, here I am.
	I'm throwing as hard a punch as I can.
	I'm fighting as hard as I know how to fight.
	And then you came in and said, Hannity, just put your foot off the gas and tell a joke.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, I want you to put your foot on the gas even more.
	But remember, as Reagan often proved, sometimes humor is more devastating than anger.
	He's right.
	You know, so, for example, with Brighterson, I really think Marsha's attitude at a big con, it's okay.
	We all understand you're a liberal.
	We all understand you're going to vote for Schumer.
	Don't be ashamed of it.
	It's all right.
	None of us hates you for it.
	It's who you really are.
	And again, I think this is something I learned this in part from Theodore White's great coverage of John F. Kennedy in Queens, New York in 1960, where Kennedy went on this rift a weekend before the election, just ripping the Republicans.
	But it was all funny.
	It was all humorous.
	I mean, I think Miss Sally, for example, could take all of these crazy things that her opponent has said, weave them together into an eight or ten minute speech would be like a vaudeville act.
	And just say it's okay.
	But could you imagine saying the meth capital of the world and the people of Arizona are crazy?
	I can't believe it.
	I think the race should be over now.
	But think about it, John.
	The first thing we should say to her is, why would you want to be the senator for the meth capital of the world?
	I mean, if you believe the stuff you said, why would you want to represent people who are crazy?
	What's wrong with you?
	You know, I think we should accept they really are who they are.
	I accept that, and I also accept another thing, that there's no more moderation.
	You know the history of relationships, even Tip O'Neill and Reagan.
	I mean, those days are long, long gone.
	And the era of moderation or a Scoop Jackson Democrat or even Joe Lieberman got thrown out of the party, Mr. Speaker.
	That pretty much says it all.
	One of the nicest human beings ever.
	You cannot be a moderate Democrat today and survive.
	And because you just get more and more and more isolated.
	I mean, I thought it was very telling that the votes on Kavanaugh, you had people who might have had a better chance getting reelected, but they couldn't break with their caucus.
	Only one person.
	Couldn't break with their donors.
	Only one person.
	And I give him credit.
	Joe Manchin.
	Probably Joe Manchin.
	You know, I'm sure he got the hellbeat out of him by Chuck Schumer and company.
	They were desperate for him to not vote because they didn't want it to be bipartisan.
	And that's what his vote did.
	Well, I mean, I guess that means he's strong and he's like, you're not going to ruin my career because of your radical leftist agenda.
	Maybe he'll even think about becoming a Republican if he wins.
	And that is the one seat that seems safe for a red state Democrat, the only one at this point.
	I think that's right.
	I think, and it really, even he's going to, if you watch, even when he voted for Kavanaugh, the numbers narrowed.
	The race is closer today than it was a week ago.
	Because I think what's happened is people looked up and suddenly realized what a team sport this is.
	That you got two teams.
	And there's a really simple question for every so-called moderate.
	And I would also say this to Manchin.
	Is he really going to vote for Schumer?
	It's a fair question.
	Everybody needs to be asked that question that's a Democrat.
	That's right, because if he's going to vote for Schumer, why would West Virginians send somebody to Washington to take power away from Mitch McConnell in the neighboring coal state?
	I mean, McConnell at least understands West Virginia.
	Schumer has contempt for West Virginia, as Hillary Clinton has contempt, as just recently, two weeks ago, you know, you had Nancy Pelosi saying things that were contemptible about West Virginia.
	So the question I'll be posed to Manchin is, why are you even running?
	I mean, if you're going to vote for Schumer, why run?
	You know, when you look at things that have been said, and I mean, just in recent times, I mean, the idea of smelly Walmart voters or we can't be civil or Joe Biden saying in September the Trump voters are the dregs of society or irredeemable deplorables or bitter people clinging to their God, guns, Bibles, and religion.
	I mean, it's pretty obvious where these people are.
	You haven't had a chance yet to see the Bredesen office be the undercover video of Project Veritas.
	I don't know if you saw it on my show last night, but it reveals a deep, deep contempt.
	They're literally calling the people of Tennessee within the office of the Senate candidate from Tennessee.
	They're calling the people stupid and ignorant.
	Now, I would say it's over.
	Marsha Blackburn will be the next senator from the great state of Tennessee, as will Martha McSally be the next senator from the great state of Arizona.
	I think the odds are very high that the wave is starting to build now.
	And ironically, it's going to be a red wave, not a blue wave.
	You really believe that?
	I'm not sure that there's enough psychoanalysts available for the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN to deal with this.
	If this election night comes out the way, I think it's going to come out.
	Every single one of those channels is going to be in such deep trouble psychologically.
	What about these Republicans in these important House seats to prevent Nancy Pelosi from becoming Speaker?
	What do you say to those candidates as they now go into their final stretch 25 days?
	I say, look, it's very simple.
	As you know, I wrote a paper on which you were kind enough to point out that's at Amazon on the 2018 election.
	Pretty straightforward.
	This election is about the future of America.
	One side wants to deliver results.
	By the way, with the release of the pastor in Turkey today, President Trump has once again delivered for America and delivered for religious liberty and for human rights.
	Another victory for him and for America.
	The other side basically just wants to resist.
	And then I take it to very specific issues.
	I think Kevin McCarthy's introduction of a bill to control the southern border that will be voted on in December is really important.
	And I would say the other side.
	How can you tolerate MS-13 in our neighborhoods?
	How can you tolerate fentanyl and opioids?
	There were 74,000 drug overdose deaths last year, more than people we lost in the entire Vietnam War.
	How can you tolerate this?
	How can you tolerate sanctuary cities?
	You have to make sure that.
	Well, I have John Cox on later.
	I never thought a Republican would be within striking distance in California.
	Gavin Newsom, now, not only a sanctuary state, we talked about it the other day.
	Now he wants free health care for everybody.
	You know, resident of California, non-resident, legal, illegal, doesn't matter.
	Go to California, free health care for anyone.
	Well, I think you pointed out to me the other day, and I hadn't quite thought about it until you said it.
	Not only is Newsom willing to take care of everybody who's sick on the entire planet, but that also is a great signal for every governor in the state to have a little Medicaid slip that says, by the way, if you get sick, here is your one-way airfare to California.
	They would love to take care of you for free.
	You might have solved 49 states' Medicaid problem in terms of their budgets by just allowing them to send everybody to California.
	I mean, Newsom's plan is worthy of a former mayor of San Francisco.
	It is literally crazy.
	All right.
	You made me laugh spontaneously.
	All right.
	It's working, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Listen, winning is fun.
	I'm not sick of winning.
	I'll tell you that.
	Nope.
	I'm not sick of the American people winning.
	I don't know what Linda is saying in my ear.
	Why don't you just say it on the air?
	You know, I'm so sorry, but you guys are just so caught up in the business, but I wanted to remind everybody about the speaker's event on Monday.
	So if people want to find out about it, Mr. Speaker, maybe you can tell them where to go.
	Yeah, they can have an evening with Newt.
	It's in Des Moines.
	And we're going to talk about ideas and about history and also about current events.
	And I'm looking forward to it.
	You'll be shocked to know.
	I'm talking to you from Seattle.
	When I get done here tomorrow, I'm going to go to Dallas, and then I'm going to go to Des Moines.
	So, you know, no more complaints.
	Oh, I'm going to be on the road in Rome.
	I have a big announcement where we are going to be next week.
	And then next Saturday, a week from tomorrow, I'm going to be.
	This is with Senator Ted Cruz.
	That's great.
	All right, Mr. Speaker, thank you.
	In spite of all the hype and the money.
	Yep.
	800-941-Sean is a toll-free number.
	Guys, we've got to take a break.
	We'll come back.
	We'll continue.
	Have some good news.
	Pastor Brunson, who had been held captive in Turkey, why?
	Because he was preaching Christianity, has now left Turkish airspace.
	A lot of credit goes to the president fighting for his release.
	This has been going on for a while.
	And also, a good friend of this program, good friend of mine, Jay Seculo in the American Center for Law and Justice.
	They have been on this from day one.
	And now the pastor will be home free with his family after all those years of confinement.
	And I'm sure the stories are just going to shock the conscience from everything I've heard.
	Listen, we also have this tape.
	Now we've got another cinema story that is breaking.
	Kristen Cinema, this is just breaking literally moments ago.
	And apparently, there's now remarks that she associated with some prominent 9-11 truther and told a radio host in an interview that she didn't care if he joined the Taliban.
	This on top of saying, oh, is Arizona the meth capital of the world?
	Arizonans are crazy.
	And then we've got the James O'Keefe tape.
	He's going to join us at the bottom of the hour and his undercover cameras going into the offices of Tennessee Democratic wannabe Senator Bredison.
	And they're basically saying the people of Tennessee are ignorant.
	Basically, they're saying it.
	And they're trying to pull a fast one.
	He wouldn't have supported ever Judge Kavanaugh.
	They're just lying to the people of Tennessee.
	Those are two races that I'm going to watch the polls in the next week or two as this information makes its way to the people of Arizona and Tennessee, respectively.
	He wouldn't really, right?
	What?
	Vote for Kavanaugh?
	I don't think so.
	But I was so confused because I just can't believe that he would actually vote yes.
	Like, I wouldn't.
	And but you said he would.
	It's politics.
	Which I don't know if that makes it worse or better.
	No, it makes it better, but it's still.
	But what's the, like, I don't understand what's the gain by finding yes.
	Moderate Republicans.
	Like, why would you say yes if you wouldn't really say no, you know?
	Yeah, because it's like a political move, and so he's trying to make up those points.
	So I don't know, like, how this is going to turn out.
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	Like, I guess we won't know until November 6th whether or not this was like worth the or something.
	Oh, I understand why he would lie like this.
	So, what I've been told is, like, data, like, data has, like, so I don't know if you saw the new CBS poll.
	So it says we're down eight points.
	We're down eight now?
	Yeah, we're down eight points.
	And it also said that 47% of Tennesseans.
	Oh, no, no, no, that was wrong.
	74% of Tennesseans wanted to see Kavanaugh confirmed.
	So, I'm like, I like, this isn't like, was it really messaging or anything?
	But, like, logically, based on those numbers and what I've seen is that he had already known that that gap between him and her has like run more.
	And so, he thought that by coming out in support, that it would get more Republicans on his side.
	He wasn't doing as well in the rural parts.
	And so, like, what he's banking on is for people who are like Democrats and stuff to still come out and vote.
	I think it's important to just remind yourself that, like, all us, that it's just a political move, right?
	Like, that's the only way I can.
	Isn't that cruise?
	It is.
	That's like the way it has to go.
	Like, I just hate that he has to, like, lie to like get that vote.
	I know.
	Tell me about this.
	Working in this reality.
	Like, you and Maddox player.
	I was not.
	It's a political move.
	And I mean, like, I don't, like, I don't know what to say about it because we were in the middle of training and we had sent people up to knock.
	And then they came back and they were like, you just saw the statement and like, what are we exposed to?
	I was like, I wasn't talking about it.
	So what do you mean it's a political statement?
	What does that even mean?
	Because he thinks that, like, we're down like half a point right now.
	He's like, really close and maybe we're losing by a point or two.
	So he thinks that it's like high sight lists.
	He's appealing to more moderate Republicans and get more of a title to the last people.
	So he's really just saying yes to get the Republican vote.
	Yeah.
	He just really doesn't like.
	That's where I'm lost because I'm like, I feel like he's lost a chunk of support that he wouldn't have otherwise.
	It seems Bredison and his staff have a pretty low opinion of Tennessee voters.
	Is it because of like the voters?
	Yeah, that's yeah, that's it.
	So he'll lose voters if he says yes.
	I don't know what are the people of Tennessee not I like to think in my little heart that he's not a super fan of Tom, but he's not.
	You'll see that out of these walls here, of course.
	Because it's so funny to messaging us like, don't talk about Blue Wave.
	We're not running against Trump.
	All this sort of stuff.
	Even though that's all why we're all here.
	Right.
	I mean, I can't help but think that Phil's the same way, though.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, he hates.
	Like, yeah.
	Like, campaign-wide, it's not on message.
	We can say it in here, but, like, to on those calls and stuff, that's not the message we want to be sending because we're not running.
	It plays in the people who would vote for Phil Bredison, but not the or Tom Shamar.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because there's a lot of people who are Republicans who are going to vote for him.
	But they know that he's like.
	I don't want to say, like, I don't want to say, like, not that he's like aligned with Chuck Schumer, but that if he like was in like then they would be like, no, go.
	Yeah, and that's the whole neural messaging against us.
	Because when he says, like, look, Phil is clearly not in this for personal reasons.
	He's probably going to be a one-term senator.
	And to that point, what you just said, like, he could do that.
	Because, I mean, I don't think he'd go that hard.
	But, like, I mean, he's going to be running for re-election.
	He can get in there and do the right thing.
	Once you're in six years, you're going to do the right thing.
	He'll be a good Democrat, I know he.
	100%.
	Always has been.
	You mean Phil actually gets into the Senate?
	He'll be a good Democrat.
	But, you know.
	So there you have Tennessee Senate hopeful Democrat Phil Bredesen's staff literally explaining away why he's consciously lying to the people of Tennessee, that he would never support somebody like Judge Kavanaugh.
	But we're down eight and we're trying to get more Republicans on our side.
	And when he gets in there, he'll be the real liberal that he always wants to be and do the right thing and won't be concerned about reelection.
	This is just a political move and a political statement.
	And I mean, it doesn't get any more sick than this.
	And thank goodness our friends over at Project Veritas were able to catch all these people, including top campaign workers for Bredesen, exposing what was the truth with their undercover cameras.
	You know, it's all exposed there.
	Bredesen's staff saying that Bredison's a liar when he said he would vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
	It is purely a blatant political move.
	And when I asked for comment, all they said was, well, Project Veritas posed as a fake volunteer and used secret video recording equipment to capture uninformed and speculative comments made last weekend by college students and youth organizers.
	Well, that's not exactly true, is it?
	James O'Keefe, who's the CEO of Project Veritas, is with us.
	Some of them were high-ranking campaign members, weren't they?
	That's right, Sean.
	And thanks for highlighting this.
	And yeah, this is a coordinated campaign between the Tennessee Democratic Party and the Phil Bredesen campaign.
	And these workers have been working at the headquarters for the president campaign for a couple of months.
	And it's a Greek chorus of voices all saying that it's a quote political move to vote.
	This is a big deal last Friday when this Tennessee Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredison announced that he was going to be voting for Kavanaugh if he were in the Senate.
	He said, I would be voting for him.
	It was a big deal.
	And they're all saying that that was a good idea.
	No, it was a big lie.
	It was a cheap political move to get rural voters that weren't supporting him in Tennessee.
	I mean, it's just.
	And that isn't your statement.
	Now that's the statement coming from their own mouths.
	And Sean, I don't, I'm not speculating here.
	I'm not reporting this anonymously.
	You can actually see this video.
	You can see it coming out of their own mouths.
	They're the ones who are saying it.
	So we're confirming the suspicions.
	What you just said, we've confirmed this.
	And again, it's not just one or two or three.
	Half a dozen of these people are saying inside the campaign office, they have confirmed that the people are real.
	And then, of course, you have the bonus material where this Bredison staffer thinks the Tennessee voters are ignorant.
	He says that, quote, we don't say this out of these walls.
	He says we'll be a good Democrat.
	Now, what that means, he'll be a good Democrat.
	That means that he's going to vote with the Schumer wing of the party once he gets elected.
	In Tennessee, they don't want them.
	Even the Democrats don't want them to be Chuck Schumer Democrats.
	So all this is pretty amazing stuff, Sean.
	And, you know, it's just we're confirming what we've known for years.
	You know, you think back, and you think of Peter Strzok, and he talked about smelly Walmart Trump voters.
	And you think of Biden just like last month saying that the Trump voters were the dregs of society.
	Despite losing in the courts and in the court of public opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made.
	This time, they, not you, have an ally in the White House.
	This time, they have an ally.
	They're a small percentage of the American people, virulent people.
	Some of them the dregs of society.
	Dregs of society.
	So then you got smelly Walmart people, dregs of society, irredeemable deplorables that we now learn this week from Hillary you cannot be civil with.
	You know, we got Eric Holder saying a kick'em.
	Obama once famously saying that, you know, these are bitter, angry people that cling to their God, guns, Bibles, and religion.
	I mean, there's such hatred and contempt for voters.
	There's another tape we showed last night, James.
	I don't know if you saw the show.
	We did run your tape, and thank you for sharing it with us.
	But an Arizona Democratic Senate candidate, her name is Kristen Sinema, literally caught on tape in 2011 calling the people of Arizona crazy.
	And it's even worse than that because we found out Foxnews.com reported that she was promoting an event at Arizona State University featuring a lawyer.
	This lawyer was convicted of aiding an Islamic terrorist organization and its leader.
	And the lawyer in question presented, represented someone who was sentenced to life in prison in the 90s for plotting to blow up the UN and FBI building and more.
	We're going to invite that person to, you know, I mean, it's unbelievable to me.
	What they're doing is they're just outright lying to people.
	Well, they have to, Sean.
	That's the whole purpose behind our organization Veritas is to expose the real nature of things, the reality and the motivations behind these people.
	And they have to lie in the red states.
	It's not that the Democratic, Red State Democrats have to lie in order to get elected.
	And when they get into the Senate, they can only vote one way.
	They can only vote yes or no.
	But they have to mislead and misinform the voters.
	And again, it's so it's people think that it requires all this espionage.
	It doesn't.
	You walk into the offices and just ask them questions, the staffers will all tell you the same thing.
	They'll all say, well, we don't actually believe this.
	And if there's one thing voters won't tolerate, Sean, if there's one thing, this is not a left or right thing because it's just so self-evident.
	You can't lie to people.
	You can't lie about what your intentions are.
	You have to be honest.
	And they cannot get elected.
	They will not get elected.
	No, you're right.
	If they state what they really believe, they'll never get elected.
	So what they do, it's like they just, it's an orchestrated lying campaign, and you caught them.
	On the other side, we're going to have to go to the next step.
	And it won't be the first time.
	And we've got a bunch more coming.
	Well, I was just going to ask you about that in just a second, and we'll talk about who might be up next on the list.
	James O'Keefe, Project Veritas.com is the website.
	All right, as we continue with James O'Keefe, Project Veritas.com is the website.
	We'll put a link to this on Hannity.com.
	And James O'Keefe strikes again, exposing just outright lying and corruption in the state of Tennessee, where the Democratic candidate, Bredison, is literally his campaign staff saying, no, he won't support Kavanaugh.
	He says lying to get votes.
	I mean, caught red-handed.
	I know how you work, James O'Keefe.
	I've known you now over a decade, and I'm just assuming that there's probably part two, three, four, and five coming.
	And what do you got?
	Well, this is the biggest congressional elections of our lifetime.
	And in the past, we've done parts of a particular state.
	Now, this time we've got multiple states.
	I know four years ago, we did four of these.
	We've got so many.
	And this is a problem, Sean, that's in all the swing states.
	We have another one coming out early next week.
	It's a similar problem.
	And these red state Democrats having to lie to their voters to get elected.
	It is in every single swing state.
	Do you want to give us a hint what state it is?
	Is it either North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri?
	Is it Arizona, Florida?
	It's one of the ones you just mentioned.
	And we have the senator on tape.
	And listen, Sean.
	Oh, if you have the senator on tape, that means it's not Arizona.
	Let me go because it's an open seat.
	So it could be Indiana.
	It could be Heidi Heitkamp Joe Donnelly.
	It could be John Tester, Montana.
	Yes.
	Claire McCaskill.
	The senator is on tape.
	The senator is on tape.
	And let me tell you this.
	In our democracy, people need to be informed.
	They have to know what people actually believe and how they're going to vote.
	I don't think this is a partisan issue, although we're going to.
	Oh, I don't think people like being lied to.
	Oh, I don't think they like it one bit.
	I think the people on the these people are not right-wingers.
	A lot of these Democrats are moderates, and it just transcends the whole political issue.
	Just don't lie.
	I got to say one thing.
	James, they're all going to vote for Chuck Schumer.
	All of them.
	They're all going to be Chucky Schumer Democrats when they get there.
	They won't.
	They didn't say that publicly.
	What you're catching them doing is lying.
	It is systematic, conscious lying to get power.
	That's all it is.
	That's not all.
	It's a big deal.
	Organization is designed to do.
	It's to get them to admit that.
	And I think it's very important.
	I cannot wait.
	I cannot wait to see how our reaction is going to be a good idea.
	All right, so we'll have our next tape.
	What, Monday or Tuesday of next week?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	All right.
	Thank you for sharing it with us.
	James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas.
	It's up on Hannity.com, Project Veritas.com.
	We got to take a quick break here.
	When we come back, our news roundup information overload hour.
	We're going to look at the polls and all the major races with our pollsters, John McLaughlin and Doug Schoen.
	And believe it or not, the Republican candidate for governor in California has a shot.
	He's within five points.
	Is it possible?
	Can we really shock the world?
	We'll get into that more as we continue.
	Vote for Republicans.
	You're doing the right thing because a vote for us is a vote for lower taxes, less regulation, and more products that are made right here in the USA.
	That's what we're doing.
	It's a vote to respect our borders.
	Respect our Constitution and respect the heroes of law enforcement.
	They say, Maxine, please don't say impeachment anymore.
	And when they say that, I say impeachment.
	Impeachment?
	Impeachment.
	They should, once and for all, work with us to improve the Affordable Care Act and renounce repeal once and for all as well.
	We've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing.
	And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.
	We should protect families that need our help.
	And that is not what ICE is doing today.
	And that's why I believe you should get rid of it.
	All right, we are now just 25 days away from Election Day.
	If you look at the generic ballot, there was one poll that got my interest this week, and that's Scott Rasmussen that had the enthusiasm gap now dead even and the generic ballot gap also down to zero.
	But if you look at Real Clear Politics, it's about a six-point spread in favor of the Democrats, but that had been much higher.
	If you look at the battle for the House of Representatives, you got 32 toss-up states.
	You got 204 that look pretty solid for the Democrats, 199 that look solid for the Republicans.
	The 32 I am putting up on the screen every night on Hannity.
	I'm picking 10 a night.
	There's actually 70 that I think are in play that will determine the balance of power ultimately.
	As it relates to the Senate election polls, you got Marsha Blackburn now pulling away in Tennessee.
	And I would imagine after this tape of Project Veritas of Bredesen's team saying that he's openly lying about ever trying to support Kavanaugh and just saying it to get rural voters, I think it's going to be devastating for them.
	Ted Cruz has now got a comfortable lead in Texas.
	In Nevada, this is going to be a very tough race for Dean Heller, but he's up by two in the latest race going on there.
	I wish our friend John James would be doing a little bit better.
	He's only down nine in Michigan against Stabenow, but he is a future rock star leader.
	I would love for the people of Michigan to take a good look at him.
	We have in the Arizona race with McSally and Cinema.
	Well, that's McSally now is up in the latest poll there by six.
	And that's before the release of the tape that we showed last night of Cinema in 2011 calling the people of Arizona that she wants to vote for her crazy.
	I don't think that's going to go over well, nor do I think it's going to go over well that she invited this radical attorney to Arizona State University, a lawyer convicted of aiding and betting an Islamic terror organization and its leader.
	And the lawyer in question represented someone who was once sentenced to a life in prison, sentenced in the 90s for blowing up, plotting to blow up the UN in an FBI building.
	So I think cinema is going to see a dramatic drop in the polls there.
	And I think things will look up for Martha McSally, who's a rock star, a person that has served her country with incredible distinction.
	And here to go through all these latest numbers and what it means and whether or not this is going to be the blue wave or is it going to be a shock the world 2016 Donald Trump all over redux.
	We have our good friends John McLaughlin and Doug Schonas with us.
	Welcome both of you back to the program.
	Thank you.
	I don't think there's any doubt the Kavanaugh overreach and the loss of due process and even simple principles like the presumption of innocence has now definitely hurt the Democratic Party.
	I think these tapes of Bredesen in Tennessee and cinema and Arizona are going to hurt those candidacies.
	And when you have 32 House seats, really, you know, going to tip the balance one way or the other, which way does it go, John McLaughlin?
	Well, I think without a doubt, by the way, one of the things you've got to notice this week, you notice the market went down.
	It's up a little today, but went down the past couple days.
	And it was triggered by interest rate stuff.
	But in the meantime, I had some analysts telling me they're afraid of the Democrats taking the House of Representatives.
	And they would want to raise taxes again.
	They would stop Trump from doing all the good things that he's done on regulations and businesses with the economy.
	And they would want to raise taxes again.
	And that would cost jobs.
	It would slow down the American economy.
	And you've got an economy now that's really growing at about 4%, higher than any of the expectations.
	And what they're really afraid of is that Nancy Pelosi could become Speaker again.
	I agree with you, Sean, that the Republicans are going to pick up Senate seats.
	And the Senate seats are looking really good because of what happened with the backlash about the whole Kavanaugh hearing and how unfair it was.
	And you can see we had a poll this week where McCaskill was losing to Hawley, the Republicans from the U.S. Senate.
	By the way, that's an also Joe Donnelly is now down.
	Right.
	And Heidi Heichamp is finished.
	She's down by double digits.
	Right.
	We had polls there because the energy sector is so important to that state that you're seeing these polls.
	You know, people want jobs.
	And what's scary is in the last three weeks, what you're going to decide is, do you want the economy to keep growing or do you want it to slow down?
	You want Pelosi to raise taxes, take what you've gotten, take away the jobs, take away the pay raises.
	And the vast majority of Americans don't want to go back to that.
	I mean, we had polls in September where Nancy Pelosi has a 55% unfavorable among all voters.
	She has a 53% unfavorable among independent women.
	That the independent women are going to decide this election.
	And they don't want to go back to the way things were before Donald Trump took over and started to drain the swamp and get things moving again for the country.
	So these house raises you're talking about, overwhelmingly, most of the ones in play are Republicans.
	Those Republican incumbents or the Republican candidates in those open seats, they're the ones who are going to vote to keep lowering taxes to keep the economy growing.
	And basically to stop what you saw the last couple of days where, you know, the smart money on Wall Street is saying, hold it.
	If she's going to be Speaker and they're going to oppose the president's agenda, they started selling off.
	I mean, it would be a disaster for the country.
	Doug Shoan, I honestly don't have a feel yet for the House, but I think the Senate, you have to admit, is looking very good for Republican pickups.
	I think when you have 33 races now that will actually tip the balance one way or the other in the House of Representatives, a little too close for comfort, because as somebody that knows Nancy Pelosi, I think that would be a worst case scenario.
	And we'd have endless investigations and impeachment and higher taxes.
	And, you know, they want to get rid of ICE.
	They won't fund the border wall, et cetera.
	It's going to be the same nonsense all over again with them.
	Well, my sense is that the House is still in Democratic hands where the election today, though it's getting closer.
	The real clear average has gone from 31 or 32 seats for the Democrats to 26 or 27.
	So it's moved the same direction as the Senate races, but not quite as far.
	And I would have to concede, much as I would like not to, that the Senate races have moved decisively in the direction.
	Do you think Kavanaugh had a lot to do with it?
	Yeah, I do.
	I think there are really two realities.
	There's the reality of the world that we live in on the East Coast and West Coast and the reality of the rest of the country who thought that a lot of what happened to him.
	Yeah, I'm kind of like an island in the middle of that East Coast.
	I'm not the rest of the East Coast.
	I don't represent the values of New York.
	I've noticed, which is a pretty hardcore left-wing state.
	Even Governor Cuomo doesn't even want me in the state.
	Did you know that?
	I didn't know, but if there's nothing.
	No, no, no.
	I got taken.
	No, he actually said those conservatives.
	Their problem is not me and the Democrats.
	Their problem is themselves.
	Who are they?
	Are they these extreme conservatives who are right to life?
	Me?
	No assault weapons.
	Pro-Second Amendment.
	Is that who they are?
	Because if that's who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York.
	That's not who New Yorkers are.
	It's simple.
	No one hunts with an assault rifle.
	No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer.
	I'm right to life.
	I'm pro-Second Amendment.
	And although I don't, I'm libertarian on people's personal lives.
	I think we ought to leave people to hell alone.
	But there's no place for me in the state of New York.
	He said it himself.
	When that happened, I had a bunch of governors, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, all calling and inviting me to move to their states.
	I want to take them up on it.
	Mr. Sean, that would be your governor, your governor that you love and vote for wants me out of town.
	Sean, I, speaking for myself, had wanted you to run as an independent for president.
	I think had you run in Alabama, one of your old stomping grounds, Doug Jones would not be a senator.
	And I would be happy to be part of the bipartisan committee to keep Hannity in New York or to promote Hannity for whatever office he would like to run for.
	I think my friend John and I can speak to you.
	John, will you disabuse our friend Doug of any notion that I can win any office?
	I don't even think I could win Dog Catcher.
	No, I think, look, you're still the kid from Franklin Square.
	You're still in touch with your working class roots.
	And Andrew Cuomo is trying to make you move out to join because New York, that's our biggest export, is the people and taxpayers of New York State.
	We send them to places like Florida and Tennessee and Texas where they have no income tax and no state income tax and they have jobs.
	But by the way, Doug's holding out on us because his client, right, Doug, you still work for this former mayor for New York, Mike Bloomberg, a registered Democrat.
	Yes, sir.
	I tell you, you know, people are speculating he might run for president, but Andrew Cuomo is clearly afraid of him because he's moving so far left that it's unbelievable he's going to get whiplash.
	But I don't even think, I don't think, though, Mike could get through, Mayor Bloomberg could get through a Democrat primary these days because they're so radical.
	And that's my point about what's going on right now.
	The country is realizing in the next three weeks, what's at stake is this is the most, as Sean says, the most important midterms in our lifetime because you really have a clear choice from a country that's gotten back.
	It's got its footing back where the economy is moving well.
	We're stronger in the world.
	We are basically the heartland is feeling that people are paying attention to them, that the swamp is being put back in its place, that the average person might have something to say about how their lives are going to be governed, have control of their own health care.
	But if Nancy Pelosi becomes the next speaker, she will be the most powerful elected Democrat in the country.
	She will be the national face and voice of the Democratic Party.
	And that is just frightening.
	Listen, let me tell you something.
	You're not just frightening Republicans.
	Doug Shoan does not want this.
	Do you, Doug?
	No.
	I want Democratic candidates at all levels in the House to say I will vote against her because that's the way to get votes in these marginal races.
	Absolutely.
	So she should go, period.
	Full stop.
	Absolutely.
	And Doug's point about in previous times when we've been on the radio is, you know, you knew what the president's message was when he ran for president.
	It was making America great again.
	What's the message of the House Republicans to get re-elected this time?
	What should have been?
	It should be.
	You better stop Nancy Pelosi from getting to.
	Well, I think it's got to be broader than that.
	I think, look, if you like the success of the last two years, if you want your tax cuts to go permanent, if you believe in secure borders, if you believe in energy independence, if you believe in a health care plan and a free, independent market health care plan that actually would work for the American people, like the concierge care for blue-collar workers that we talk about all the time with our buddy Dr. Josh Humber, all of those messages,
	and constitutional originalists on the court, I think those are all winning issues.
	Yep, but you can put all those issues in one vessel and personalize it because Nancy Pelosi will take away all those things.
	She'll reverse it.
	We'll have fewer jobs.
	She'll raise taxes.
	You'll have open borders.
	You won't have security.
	And you'll have endless investigations.
	And we know Maxine wants to impeach 45, impeach 45, impeach 45.
	All right, we'll take a break.
	Doug Schoen, John McLaughlin on the other side.
	Quick break, right back.
	We've got a lot more to get to in the course of the program.
	Can a California Republican win the governorship?
	Well, polls show it's a possibility, believe it or not.
	And as we continue with Doug Shoan and John McLaughlin, our pollsters, just 25 days from Election Day, besides running on endless investigation and impeachment and wanting their crumbs back and wanting to keep Obamacare and wanting to eliminate ICE and open borders, can you name one policy that Democrats are running on that would help the American people, Doug Shoan?
	Make sure that health care is covered for those with pre-existing.
	But by the way, Donald Trump is saying the same thing.
	Good.
	They're good.
	It's just the Republicans as a party have not been as sensitive to the issue as the Democrats.
	But I got another issue, Sean.
	But they're all saying to hold on to Obamacare.
	Well, to my way of thinking, what they should say is no Pelosi, no impeachment of Kavanaugh, no impeachment of Trump.
	Just work on issues like a compromise on immigration, compromise on health care, and continued choice in education.
	Now, let me tell you, if they would listen to that, which they never will because they're not a moderate party, that would absolutely pretty much wrap it up for the House, in my opinion.
	I agree, Sean.
	We're on the same page.
	John, do I have your support to work with Sean when we find a state or a nation for him to run in for the highest degree?
	He can run.
	Is that a yes or a no?
	Hey, he can run.
	He's not going to win.
	Oh, no, you would win.
	By the way, by the way, we're checking out your high school yearbook right now.
	I've never looked at it, so I have no freaking idea what's in there.
	Oh, my God.
	I know you're not exactly running for the Supreme Court, but if no.
	Check out.
	Well, I definitely.
	I listened half of my junior and senior year.
	I was tending bar till 4:30 in the morning a lot of nights.
	And, you know, I was just, I didn't show up half the time.
	So that's probably a good thing.
	People won't even recognize that I went there.
	I'm still with lots of witnesses.
	Yeah, I'm sure there is.
	We'll dig them up somewhere from 40 years ago.
	All right, John McLaughlin and Doug Shoan, thank you both for being with us.
	At 25 now, till the top of the hour, 800-941.
	Sean, toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Want to send a shout out.
	We saw all the pictures, the devastation down in the panhandle in Florida.
	Wonderful people that live down there.
	And thank God most of you got out.
	You were heeding the warnings.
	You know, we're seeing entire neighborhoods that look like a tornado wipe them out.
	I mean, that's the only comparison I can use.
	And I'm very glad to see.
	I saw a lot of the coverage today and a lot of the help that has been on the way.
	And a lot of the cavalry has arrived, and I even see them putting up, you know, all the electric power that's out.
	You see all the different power companies from throughout the Southeast and Texas and all neighboring states.
	They've all hands on deck and they're all helping everybody out and just hang in there.
	And I know if there's any needs for some people that the American people will be there for you.
	We're just, that's it.
	We're family.
	And a lot of you lost a lot in this hurricane.
	And our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
	Hey, listen, it's Friday and 25 days now to Election Day.
	Anyway, one race, I know this is a long shot.
	I know when I talk about California, the sanctuary state that it is, where Gavin Newsom, the lieutenant governor now running for governor out there, wants to have free health care for everybody.
	Remember, in the state of California, you've got a 13.5% state income tax.
	I thought it was bad in New York with a 10% state income tax.
	Now, that's a lot of money, a lot of people's money.
	And Gavin Newsom now wants to make universal health care available to anybody.
	Californian, non-Californian, legal, illegal, doesn't matter.
	It would cost a fortune.
	Now, I know because California is so radically left-wing, it's kind of hard to think that a Republican could win the governorship out there, but I kind of believe in miracles.
	And when I saw a poll that showed it was a five-point race with John Cox, he's the other candidate running for California governor against Newsome.
	I'm thinking, well, Donald Trump shocked the world.
	Why not?
	Here are a couple of the ads that John Cox is running out there in California.
	Life, honestly, it's a struggle.
	Traffic and roads a mess.
	Rents going up.
	Friends and family moving out of state.
	Millions of Californians live near or below the poverty line.
	Politicians like Gavin Newsome talk about change, but they've done nothing.
	Sky-high gas and food prices, homelessness.
	Gavin Newsom, it happened on your watch.
	So yeah, it is time for a change.
	Time for someone new.
	This election is about the status quo versus change.
	We must have the courage to admit that those who have been leading California for so long have not been leading it well.
	Gavin Newsom stands with the lobbyists and the corrupt insiders.
	It's about time someone stands with the Californians he's forgotten.
	I'm John Cox, and I want to be your governor.
	All right, so is it possible that there could be a California miracle out there?
	Now, one other addendum to this is there are a number of races, House races, especially in Southern California.
	And that would be even our friend Dana Rohrbacher's seat and Darrell Isa's old seat.
	These are really important seats in as much as they could determine the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives.
	So anywhere from Los Angeles straight on down, well, frankly, the whole state of California, you have to get out and vote for these congressional candidates because otherwise Nancy Pelosi could end up being speaker.
	But is it possible that there could be a California miracle?
	Anyway, Republican John Cox, who is, I think you've surprised so far a lot of pollsters.
	Nobody thought you'd get within single digits ever.
	And one poll had you within five.
	Thanks for having me on, Sean, and you're right.
	I was listening to your earlier remarks about Florida and everything, and you said help is on the way.
	That's actually our message to the people of California that Gavin Newsom political class has resulted in the highest housing prices, the highest gas prices.
	Water is being rationed in California.
	You're right.
	He's proposing to open up.
	Are they still rationing the water because of the Delta smelt?
	I went out there in Devin Nunes' district, who's a great guy.
	And in the San Joaquin Valley, I was out, and I did a show from there a couple of years ago, and the farmers couldn't farm because they were saving the water for those little itsy-bitsy fish called the Delta Smelt.
	Well, that's part of it, Sean, but they haven't built a reservoir out here in 30 years.
	Imagine California if it hadn't built a road in the last 30 years.
	Can you imagine what the congestion would be like?
	It's all horrible anyway, but they haven't built a reservoir.
	And we built one desalination plant that took 20 years because of lawsuits and regulations.
	And, you know, we've got to do more desalination.
	We've got to do more recycling.
	We've got to build more reservoirs.
	That's all there is to it.
	But the political class, you're right.
	They don't want to do that.
	They want to save a little tiny fish, which is wonderful, but we've got to lift.
	Well, farmers got a farm, and it is such a big part of the California economy.
	I mean, you're growing oranges and avocados and all sorts of other strawberries and fruits and vegetables.
	You may not know this about me, but I lived in Santa Barbara five years of my life when I was broke.
	I was the poorest guy in Santa Barbara at the time, but I love the weather out there.
	When I had my first orange picked off a tree, which I stole, it was like the best thing I've ever had in my life.
	Let me ask you this.
	So you have 13.5% state income tax rate out there.
	You're a sanctuary state, not a city, a whole state.
	And now Gavin Newsom wants free health care for everybody.
	Is he putting up a sign that says, if you get sick, come here.
	We'll take care of you.
	I saw that Newt has said that all the other governors around the country are probably pulling for Newsom so they can send anybody who's ill to California, and our taxpayers will pay their health care.
	You know, that's ridiculous, Sean.
	I mean, even Vermont said they didn't want single-payer health care.
	But, you know, Newsom is basically just offer anything free to anybody.
	And in the process, what he's doing is he's going to make California even more unaffordable than it already is.
	I think the people know that this guy mismanaged San Francisco.
	He didn't fix the homeless problem there.
	He's personally compromised.
	He's pretty much an empty suit.
	He was put in business by the billionaire Getty family.
	And I think people want somebody like myself.
	I struggled.
	I built a small business.
	I've gotten results in the private sector.
	And I think that's what people are looking for.
	How come the people of California, and maybe I should ask the same question to myself, because we're not far behind you in New York State with 9.9% the highest income tax rate.
	Why do the people of California take a 13.5% income state income tax rate?
	And there's no rebellion out there.
	Why are they taking that crap?
	It's beyond me.
	And a lot of people are leaving, Sean.
	As you might know, California has had an exodus of people to.
	As so's New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
	You know what everybody's saying in Texas and Florida and then the Carolinas?
	You can come, but if you're going to bring your dopey, dumb liberal policies with you, stay home.
	I don't blame them.
	I talked to Greg Abbott about that.
	He said they're ruining the politics of that state, although I think they'll still survive.
	Listen, we've got to make sure that California is affordable, that it's open for business.
	Sean, our education system is now vying with Mississippi for one of the worst education results in the country.
	Used to be the best.
	Used to be the best.
	I don't know what your odds are.
	I will say this.
	I really hope that the people of California pay attention because, you know, putting a businessman in there, California is one of the most beautiful states in the Union, and it's literally being destroyed from within by politicians.
	And I hope the people of California rise up and realize that this is happening to them.
	And the ideas Gavin Newsom are putting out there are so dumb and so cost-prohibitive that it's going to end up being a disaster for everybody.
	And there'll be just a further mass exodus of tax dollars.
	Nobody's going to want to be there.
	So I wish you luck.
	If you look around the country, you look at Maryland, Massachusetts, you know, Nebraska, Arizona, Kentucky, they've elected Republican business people who have spent a career solving problems, delivering results, making life better for people.
	That's what I'm going to be doing.
	And I think the people of this state are going to wake up to that fact.
	All right, John Cox, we wish you luck in 25 days running for governor of the great state of California, sir.
	Thank you for being with us.
	A lot of breaking news.
	Unbelievable video.
	Literally, the race of the Senate in Arizona is exploding right in front of our face.
	Same with Tennessee.
	That's good news for Martha McSally and Marsha Blackburn.
	Hannity tonight, John Sununu, Herman Kane, Joe Concha, Haley McEnaney, Matt Schlapp, Jim Jordan, Greg Jarrett, Nine Eastern, Hannity tonight on the Fox News channel.
	Have a great weekend.
	When we get back, 22 days till Election Day, the most important midterms in our lifetime.
