This is an iHeart Podcast.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
My friends at MyPillow, my buddy Mike Lindell told me he was coming out with a brand new product.
It's called the New Mattress Topper.
So I got the new mattress topper immediately, and I've been sleeping on it now for a couple of months.
It's the best thing you've ever felt in your life.

All right.
So try MyPillow.com, promo code topper.
Promo code topper for this great deal and the best night's sleep you ever had.
Glad you're with us 25 days to go until 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 gonna 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, uh, you've got Florida and a few other states that are key.
If Republicans could run the table, I'd look, I'm a dreamer.
I'm not expecting we're gonna 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 uh 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 gonna come to America and you want to be a part of our family, you gotta start with one basic, simple fundamental rule, and that is that you've got to obey our laws.
I think that's 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.
Um, and by the way, what is really happening, we're gonna play James O'Keefe's gonna join us and the Democrat Bredison, who's running against Marsha Blackburn, who's now began to pull away in the polls a little bit there.
Him and his campaign, 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 gonna play it for you later in the program today, but I mean, it is it is mind numbing that people have zero truth or or ability or character that they can be honest with who they are and what they believe.
And the problem for Bredison, just like the problem for people like Claire McCaskill or Heidi Heikamp or Joe Donnelly or Cinema.
Oh, wait till we get to the tape on cinema today, or you know, 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 which they've stated publicly they want their crumbs back.
They have stated publicly, in other words, they want to raise taxes.
Well, that's 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 do we, what can we do to help facilitate you working here and building here and creating factories and manufacturing centers here.
And when they tell them, well, you know, it's costing us, you know, a thousand dollars for this regulation per unit and a thousand dollars per unit for that regular 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, uh, 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 gonna 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 gonna let you down.
Well, I want to find all the Alice Marie Johns 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 2500 a year down to 300, 300 or 400.
Bernie Kerrick 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 worried 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 it's it's sad.
It's unnecessary.
Um our human, 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 a any African American conservative that speaks out is just beaten up and excoriated on a level that is downright racist and disgusting.
Why is 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 whore like the president, he's all of a sudden now the model spokesperson.
He's he's the token Negro of the 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.
I felt very exploitive to me.
Uh, there was something very fragile about 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 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 uh uh thoughtful play-by-play and political analysis, you're not because that was an assault on our white house.
I'm just gonna be honest.
I may get in a lot of trouble for it.
I feel actually feel bad for him.
What I saw was a menstrual 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?
This 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.
He's 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 as quote the 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 what why does CNN not take all three of these people off the air?
By the way, I don't call for boycotts, but uh it's uh it's just unbelievable.
It's um 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 that was the gist of it.
This disagrees on on the issue of stop and frisk.
So what?
An opportunity to maybe help better people's lives, and this is the result.
So it's like Kavanaugh.
Who's ever wanna gonna who's ever gonna 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 from the sun and wind, we're storing it.
Ensuring Americans have the energy they need whenever they need it.
Learn more about the nation's leader in energy storage at Nexteraenergy.com.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800 9401, Sean Tollfree 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 I that are just unknown.
With the president, I know the president is gonna 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 gonna blame you, blah, blah, blah.
That's just not how he rolls.
If you, if we 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 gonna make everything harder and more divisive and more difficult, and it's gonna waste our time and slow our progress.
I I 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 uh Tennessee and cinema in Arizona will play those next.
All right, 25 till the what?
What do you why, why?
No, go ahead, do your intro, then I'll interrupt it.
25 to the top of the hour.
Well, you well, you were gonna 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 time.
You want to know why?
Because I I many of my friends are like into like sports cars and the watches and all that stuff.
It means nothing to me.
Uh I have a phone.
My 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 um 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 fine.
I mean the one that you would the one that you ignored the other depth.
Yes, I ignored her and berated her.
Offering birthday wishes to everybody else on the team, the person that I stuck up for that you ignored.
That was 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 to make amends and just let America know how great America.
How great Kylie was doing.
Because you know a lot of people.
No, single nothing like it.
Um, 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, she that 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 got five days away from election day.
This is why you need a watch, because you just can't keep yourself.
No, I can keep time.
I have a clock in front of me.
I don't need to wear a watch.
Listen when you're on my time, I can reclaim it.
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 only the same.
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't flip this on me because you ignored Kylie earlier in the week.
I'm not watching.
Well, you're the one that you literally ignored.
You know, when you open everybody else, you allow people to walk right through the city.
Linda did not praise you either.
That didn't work.
She didn't just say that.
Of course not.
That's just standard operating procedure.
Thank you, Ethan.
You know, forget the guy.
Forget the guy that buys lunch every day and is uh the best boss ever.
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, so uh 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 pizzas to everybody.
You need to stop lying because you know everyone in the newsroom.
You're in everyone's business, and you stop and talk to everybody.
That is such a lot.
But doesn't mean I know their name.
I don't know everybody's name.
You don't know anybody's name.
I honestly don't.
You didn't know my name for five years.
All right, goodbye.
Um my time.
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, uh, Asian Americans, um, women in the workforce, youth unemployment.
It's all the 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 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 I'm just sitting there saying, wow.
And I'm but it's not new to me.
They've done it to a lot of our friends on this program.
Nigher in this, Denise Burelli.
She's been she writes about it in the first 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 all she's a wonderful person.
And her husband Tom would love them both.
You know, you look at the democratic leaders encouraging what mob violence against their opponents.
Follow them into gas stations and department stores and get in their faces and confront them and and kick Sarah Sanders out of a restaurant and Pam Bondi and Secretary Nielsen and you know, literally, you know, 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 destroy.
Kick them.
What you stand for, what's your irritable, deplorable, heavily Walmart people.
We are fortunate enough.
Cling to God, guns, Bibles, religion.
That's when civilians are not.
Enough, 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 Pfizer 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.
You know, to ridiculous questions because we now know so much about the media leak strategy, the insurance policy, and the fact that if this dossier information, which was never verified or corroborated, that was used to commit a fraud on Pfizer courts, was then also used to initiate and gin up this initi this disappointment of Robert Mueller.
And we got Bruce Orr, you know, funneling Christopher Steele lies to special counsel Muller's office.
And where do we find ourselves?
Oh, but they're 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 Nunez, 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 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 can 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.
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.
They did in spite of all the failure, they want to double down on stupid.
Project Veritas actually caught people that work uh for the Phil Bredison campaign.
Literally caught them red-handed.
Where, you know, Bredison said he would vote for Kavanaugh.
Listen to some of this tape.
Because I mean he wouldn't really.
What?
Vote for Kavanaugh?
I don't think so.
No.
He's not gonna vote for that.
But I was so confused because I just can't believe that he would actually vote.
Yes.
Like I would have wouldn't.
And you say he wouldn't.
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 game by saying yes.
Is it because of like the voters?
Yeah.
Yeah.
so he'll lose voters if he says yes.
Straight up.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Are the people of Tennessee that ignorant?
Yeah.
People of Tennessee, you're that ignorant.
So they're gonna lie to you and say that they would have voted for Kavanaugh when there's no way in hell.
No, no, no, no.
That's just we're just saying that to get some more Republicans on his side.
He's gonna get there.
He's gonna 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 Marsha Blackburn is now beginning to pull away in the state of Tennessee.
Now we also have the race that's gone.
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 Christian 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 uh 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 are the five things that our state historically made its money off of.
But I would add a sixth seat.
It's called crazy.
Oh, they're crazy.
Arizona isn't crazy.
Will you please vote for me?
Then there's more disturbing news.
It was yesterday on Fox News.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 is now finally taking a slight lead.
Do you want Christ Kristen Cinema, who's calling you in Arizona, Tucson in Phoenix?
She's calling you crazy when she's out of state.
You're gonna vote for her?
Inviting that lawyer representing someone sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up the UN and an FBI building.
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 St. 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.
Then 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 was 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 gonna vote for Schumer.
They're all gonna support his agenda.
They're not gonna back away from his agenda.
They're gonna 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 in Mother Teresa, they wouldn't appoint her.
Well, it might be a, you know, the perfect example because that brings up issues of abortion.
But you know what?
You can't 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.
Music.
All right, a lot to get to today.
What do we do strategically to win?
New 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 uh tape that we have and our polsters 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 racing Tucson.
Near the border.
And uh when we grew up, I remember in first grade, we learned a song about Arizona, because Arizona is a state of the five C's.
So cattle, copper, citrus, cotton, and climate.
And those were the five things in our state historically made its money off.
But I would have a sixth seat.
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 Christian 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 Bredison headquarters and got all these people working for the Democrat wanting to unseat or take the seat away from uh Marsha Blackburn, and they're all saying, oh, we're totally lying.
He's 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 you 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 gonna support Maxime Waters.
That they're gonna support impeachment, endless investigation, open borders, no more ice, higher taxes, they want the crumbs back.
Obamacare, the disaster that that is.
Twenty-five 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.
I it 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 if he had gone down, if he had failed, uh 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.
Uh 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 as once again, as you did with Obama way back in 2008, and as you did uh with Hillary, I think you just 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 I I think what's interesting, I don't know.
I 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 uh Kristen Cinema.
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 thrown against Ted Cruz.
That is such an important seat.
Claire McCaskill is down, Heidi Heikamp 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 ext are really winnable in this atmosphere where we just watch the Senate all stand in line, but for Joe Manchin and follow Chuck Schumer's lead.
Well, and remember, if if you have that happening in that many states, you're not going to get a blue wave in the House.
I mean, the the they're the same voters, they're the same people.
And the and the tide is not there, but but there's something else in what you just said that I think is really important.
Uh and again, I'm I'm thinking out loud with you, so because you 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.
Uh I think I I I I really mean this.
I think you could take the You know, I mean, here I am, I'm I'm throwing as hard a punch as I can.
I'm 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 jump.
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.
Yeah, so for example, with Bradison, I I really think Marsh's attitude of a big con.
It's okay.
We all understand you're a liberal.
We all understand you're gonna vote for Schumer.
Don't don't be ashamed of it.
It's all right.
None of us hate you for it.
It's who you really are.
I and again, I think I think m this is something I I learned this in part from from Theodore White's great coverage of John F. Kennedy and in Queens, New York in nineteen sixty, where Kennedy went on this riff a weekend before the election, just just ripping the Republicans, but it was all funny.
It was all humorous.
I mean, I think McSally, 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.
Just say it's okay.
But could you imagine saying the meth capital of the of the of the world and and the people of Arizona are crazy?
I I've got I can't believe it's a good thing.
I don't I think the race should be over now.
But think about it, Sean.
Uh 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 what's wrong with you?
That's a great question.
You know, I think I I think we should we should accept they really are who they are.
I accept that, and I also accept another thing that the 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.
That was one of the nicest human beings ever.
You cannot be a moderate Democrat today and survive.
Uh and and uh be because you just get more and more and more isolated.
I mean, the the vote I thought it was very telling that the votes uh on Kavanaugh, you had people who might have had a better chance of getting re-elected, but they couldn't break with their caucus.
Only one break with their donors.
Only one person.
And I give them credit.
Joe Manchin.
Probably Joe Manchin, you know, I'm sure he got the hell beat 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 gonna ruin my career because uh you because of your radical leftist agenda, maybe you'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 and it really uh even he's gonna if you watch the p 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'd say this I would also say this to Manchin.
Is he gonna 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 we because if he's going to vote for Schumer, why would why would West Virginians send somebody to Washington to take power away from Mitch McConnell in the neighboring Cole State?
I mean, McConnell at least understands West Virginia.
Schumer has contempt for West Virginia.
As Hillary Clinton has contempt as as just recently two weeks ago, you know, you you had um Nancy Pelosi saying things that were contemptible about West Virginia.
So the question I'll be posed to to Manchin is why are you even running?
I mean if you're gonna 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 the idea of smelly Walmart voters or or we can't be civil or Joe Biden saying in September the Trump voters are the dregs of society or irredeemable deplorables or you bitter people clinging to their God, guns, Bibles and religion.
I mean it's pretty obvious where these people are you you haven't had a chance yet to see the Bredison 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 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 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 uh 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 I say look this it's very simple as you know I wrote a paper on which you you were kind enough to point out that's at Amazon on the 2018 election.
Pretty straightforward this election's about the future of America one side wants to deliver results and by the way with the 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 I think Kevin McCarthy's introduction of a bill to control the southern border that'll 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 and opioids 54 there were 74000 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 it well I have John Cox on later I never thought a 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 a 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 I think you pointed out to me the other day and I hadn't quite put it thought about it till you said it that not only did 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 uh here here is your your your one way airfare to California they would love to take care of you for free.
Uh you might have solved 49 states Medicaid problem uh in terms of their budgets by just you know 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 you you made me laugh spontaneously listen winning is fun.
I'm not sick of winning I'll tell you that I'm not 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?
What you know, I'm so sorry, but uh you know, 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 think they can have an evening with Newt.
It's in it's in Des Moines, and uh we're gonna talk about ideas and about history and also about current events, and um I'm looking forward to you'll you'll be shocked to know I'm talking to you from Seattle.
And when I get done here tomorrow, I'm gonna go to Dallas and then I'm gonna go to Des Moines.
So, you know, no more competition.
Well, I'm gonna be on the road in Rome.
I have a big announcement where we're gonna be next week and then next Saturday, a week from tomorrow, I'm gonna be.
That's great.
All right, Mr. Speaker, thank you.
If I in spite of all the hype and the money.
Yep.
800 nine four one Sean is our toll free number.
Guys, uh, we gotta take a break, we'll come back, we'll continue.
Pastor Brunson, who had been held captive in Turkey.
Why?
Because he was preaching Christianity, uh, has now left Turkish airspace.
A lot of credit goes to the president fighting for his release.
Uh this has been going on for a while, and uh also good friend of this program, good friend of mine, Jay Sekulo 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 uh I'm sure the stories are just gonna shock the conscience from everything I've heard.
Uh listen, I wanna we also have this tape.
Now we've got another cinema story that is breaking.
This the Christian cinema, this is just breaking literally moments ago, and apparently there's now remarks that she associated with some prominent nine eleven 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, it's Arizona the meth capital of the world.
Arizonans are crazy.
And then we've got the James O'Keefe tape, he's gonna 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.
Not basically they're saying it.
And that trying to pull a fast one, he doesn't wouldn't have supported ever Judge Kavanaugh.
They're just lying to the people of Tennessee.
Those are two races that I'm gonna watch the polls in the next week or two of this this information makes its way to the people of Arizona and Tennessee respectively.
He wouldn't really, right?
What?
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 he's saying he wouldn't.
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 game by saying yes.
Moderate Republicans.
Like, why would you say yes?
I think we really say no, you know?
Yeah, because it's like a political movement, so he's trying to make up those points.
Um, so I don't know like how this is gonna turn out.
I I I don't know, we'll see.
Like I guess we won't know until November 6 whether or not this was like worth the personal.
I understand why he's not lying like this.
So what I've been told is like data, like data has like so I don't know if he saw the news CBS poll.
Um since we're down eight points.
Um we're down eight now.
Yeah, we're down eight points, and uh it also said that forty-seven percent of Tennesseans.
Oh no, no, no, that was wrong.
Seventy-four percent of Tennesseans wanted to see Kavnach.
So like I like this isn't like 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 minimum had has like run more.
And so he thought that much 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 thinking 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.
That's the only way I can just it is.
So that's like the way it has to go.
Like I just hate that he has to like why to like get that vote.
I know.
Tell me what's in this reality.
Like you wouldn't know about possible.
And I mean, like I don't like I don't know what to say about it because we were in the training, and we had sent some people out to knock.
And then they came back and they were like, we just saw the statements and like photo explosive things.
Like I said, so what do you mean it's a political statement?
What does that even mean?
Because he thinks that like break down like half a point right now.
Seems like really close to maybe losing by a point or two.
So he thinks that it was like seems appealing to more moderate Republicans and more of them titles.
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 it says yes.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Are the people of Tennessee not ignorant?
Yeah.
I like to think in my little heart that he's not a super fan of Tom.
But he's not.
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, I can't help but think that Phil's the same way though.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he hates Trump.
Like, campaign wide, it's not a 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's it plays in the role.
Yeah, exactly.
Because there's a lot of people who are Republicans who are gonna vote for him.
But if 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 Murray, but that if he like wasn't like a hoop.
Yeah, exactly.
Then they would be like no go.
Yeah, and that's the whole their whole messaging against us.
Because what I say is like look, Phil is clearly not in this for personal reasons.
It's probably gonna be a one-term senator.
Um 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 gonna be running for re-election.
He can get in there and do the right thing once you're in six years.
You're gonna do the right thing.
Uh he'll be a good democrat, I know he wants to.
100%.
Yeah.
Always has been.
Between you and me, Phil actually gets into the Senate.
He'll be a good Democrat.
But um, yeah.
Uh um.
So there you have Tennessee Senate Hopeful, Democrat Phil Bredison'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 re-election.
This is just a political move and a political statement.
And um I mean, it doesn't get any more sick than this.
Our friends over at Project Veritas were able to catch all these people, including top campaign workers for Bredison, exposing what was the truth with their undercover cameras.
You know, you know, base it's all exposed there.
Bredison's staff saying that Brettison's a liar when he said he would vote to confirm Breck Kavanaugh, it is purely a blatant political move.
And uh when I asked for comment, all they said was, Well, Project Veritas posed as a fake volunteer and 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.
Uh some of the more high-ranking campaign members, weren't they?
That's right, Sean, and and and thanks for highlighting this.
And yeah, they this is a coordinated campaign between the Tennessee Democratic Party and the um and the Phil Bredison campaign.
And these these workers have been working at the 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 when this uh Tennessee Democratic Senate candidate Phil Brett Bredison announced that he was going to be voting for Kavanoff 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 we're not going to be able to do that.
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 that isn't, but that isn't your uh c 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.
There's half a dozen of these people are saying inside the campaign office.
They have confirmed that the people are real.
And and then, of course, you have the the 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 gonna 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 uh, you know, it's it's just we're confirming what we've known for years.
You know, you you think back and you you think of Peter Strzok and he talked about smelly Walmart Trump voters, and you think of Biden just what, like last month saying that 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.
Uh 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 uh thank you for sharing it with us.
But an Arizona Democratic Sanity uh Senate candidate, her name is Kristen Cinema, literally caught on tape in 2011 calling the people of Arizona crazy.
And it's even worse than that, because we found out Fox News.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 gonna invite that person to, you know, to 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 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 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 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 it's one thing left, 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 they will not get the right.
If they extend No, you're right.
If they if they state what they really believe, they'll never get elected.
So what they do, it's like uh they just it's an orchestrated lying campaign, and you caught them.
Uh on the other side, we're gonna talk about it, it won't be the first time, and we got a bunch more coming, and I'm not sure.
Well, I was just gonna ask you about that in just a second, and we'll talk about who might be up next on the list.
Uh 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'Keeffe 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's just lying to get votes.
I mean, caught red-handed.
Um, I know how you work, James O'Keefe.
I've 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, there's a this is a big the biggest congressional elections of our lifetime, and and in in the past we've done parts of a particular state.
Now, this time we've got multiple states.
Um I know four years ago we did uh four of these, and we've got so many, and this is a a problem, Sean, that's in all the 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 it is in every single swing state.
You want to give us a hint what state it is?
Or is it is it one of is it either North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, is it Arizona, Florida?
It's one of the ones you just mentioned.
And and and we have the senator on tape.
And 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 Heikamp, Joe Donnelly, it could be John Tester, Montana.
And uh yes, Claire McCaskill.
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 in how they're gonna vote.
I don't think this is a partisan issue, although we're 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 they it just transcends the whole political issue.
It's just don't lie to the case.
I gotta say one thing.
James, they're all gonna vote for Chuck Schumer.
All of them.
They're all gonna be Chucky Schumer Democrats when they get there.
They won't do that publicly.
What you're catching them doing is lying.
Is it is systematic, conscious lying to get power.
That's all it is.
But not all it's a big deal.
And I think it's very important, and I cannot wait.
I cannot wait to see their reaction is.
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.
Uh, we got to take a quick break here.
When we come back, our news roundup information overload hour.
We're gonna 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?
Could 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?
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 re-examine 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 uh election day.
If you look at the generic ballot, there was one poll that uh got my interest this week, and that's Scott Rasmussen that had the enthusiasm gap now dead even and the generic ballot uh gap also down to zero.
But on a 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 Bredison's team saying that he's openly lying about ever trying to support Kavanaugh, 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.
Uh, this is gonna 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 uh John James would be doing a little bit better.
He's only down nine in Michigan against Stabenow, but this this he is a future rock star leader.
I would love for the people of Michigan to take a good look at him.
Um 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 gonna go over well, nor do I think it's gonna go over well that she invited this this radical attorney to Arizona State University uh 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 uh sent sentence for in the 90s for blowing up, uh plotting to blow up the UN in an FBI building.
So I think uh cinema is gonna 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.
Um, and here to go through all these latest numbers and what it means and whether or not uh this is gonna be the blue wave, or is it gonna be a shock the world 2016 Donald Trump all over redux?
Uh, we have our good friends John McLaughlin and Doug Shonas with us.
Welcome both of you back to the program.
Thank you.
I I don't think there's any doubt the Kavanaugh overreach and the loss of due process and and even simple principles like the presumption of innocence has now definitely hurt the Democratic Party.
I think these tapes of Bredison and in Tennessee and cinema and Arizona are gonna hurt those candidacies.
And when you have 32 house seats really, you know, gonna tip the balance one way or the other.
Which way does it go, John McLaughlin?
Well, I think I think without a doubt, by the way, one of the things you got to notice this week, you notice the market went down.
It's uh 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 of businesses and 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 of about the whole Kavanaugh hearing and how unfair it was.
And you can see we had a poll this this week where uh McCaskill was losing to Hawley, the Republicans for the U.S. Senate.
And you thought that's the same.
By the way, that's an I and also Joe Donnelly is now down.
Right.
And Heidi Heikamp is finished.
She's down by double digits.
Right.
We had polls there because of the the energy uh uh sector is so important to that state that you're seeing that you're seeing these these polls.
Um, you know, people want jobs.
And what's scary is in the last three weeks, what you're gonna decide is do you want the economy to keep growing, or do you want uh do you want it to slow down?
You want Pelosi to raise taxes, take what you've got, and 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 with where Nancy Pelosi has a 55 unfavorable among all voters.
She has a she has a 53% unfavorable among independent women.
That the independent women are going to decide this election.
And 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 are the uh or the Republican uh uh candidates in the in those open seats, they're the ones who are gonna vote to keep lowering taxes to keep the economy growing, and basically to stop what you saw in the last couple days, where you know the smart money on Wall Street is saying, hold it.
If she's if she's gonna be speaker and they're gonna oppose the president's uh uh agenda, they started selling off.
I mean, it would be a disaster for the country.
Doug Schoen, um 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 uh when you have 33 races now that will uh 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 and you know it and they want to get rid of ice, they won't fund the border wall, et cetera.
It's gonna be the same nonsense all over again with them.
Well, I my sense is that the House is still uh in democratic hands were the election today, so it's getting closer.
Uh the real clear average has gone from uh 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 of the United States.
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.
Uh I've noticed, yeah.
Which is a pretty hardcore left-wing state.
Even uh Governor Cuomo doesn't even want me in the state.
Did you know that?
I didn't know, but if I've got 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 too assault weapons and 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 ten bullets to kill a deer.
Uh I'm right to life.
I'm pro-Second Amendment.
Uh and uh although I don't I'm libertarian on people's personal lives, I think we ought to leave people the hell alone.
Um, 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. Schoen.
That would be your governor, your governor that you love and vote for wants me out of town.
Sean, I, speaking for myself and 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 spend the case.
John, will you disabuse our friend Doug of any notion that I can win any office that I don't even think I could win dog catcher?
No, I I I think look, you're still the kid from Franklin Square.
You're still you're still in touch with your working classroots.
And Andrew Cuomo is trying to make you move out to join because we New York, that's our biggest export is is the people and taxpayers of New York State.
We send them to places like Florida and Tennessee and Texas where they have no 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 uh uh this former mayor for New York, Mike Bloomberg, but registered as a Democrat.
Yes, sir.
I tell you 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 gonna get whiplash.
But but I don't even think I don't think though Mike should get through Mayor Bloomberg or 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.
Uh we we we are basically the heartland is feeling that people are paying attention to them, that the swamp is being uh put back in its place, that that the average person might have something to say about how their lives are going to be gun governed, have control of their own health care.
But 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 you're not just fighting uh frightening Republicans.
Doug Schoen 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.
Sean, she should go, period.
Full stop.
Absolutely.
And and Doug's point about in previous uh 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 reelected this time?
What should it be?
It should be you better stop Nancy Pelosi from getting the well, I think it's gotta be broader than that.
I I I think look, if you if you like the success of the last two years, if you want your tax cuts to go permanent, if you 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 Umber, all of those messages I think 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 Schoen and John McLaughlin, our pollsters just 25 days from election day.
Um, 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 Schoen.
Make sure that health care is covered for those with uh pre existing.
But by the way, Donald Trump is saying the same thing.
Good.
It's just the Republicans as a party have not been as sensitive to the issue as the Democrats.
But I I got another issue, Sean.
But they're all saying to hold on to Obamacare.
So 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 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?
He can run.
He's not gonna win.
Oh no, you would win.
So you and 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 if we'll check out listen, half of my junior, 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 sure there's lots of witnesses.
Yeah, I'm sure there is.
We'll we'll dig them up somewhere from 40 years ago.
Uh all right, John McLaughlin and uh Doug Schoen, thank you both for being with us.
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 that's the only comparison I can use.
Um, and I'm very glad to see.
I saw a lot of the coverage today and 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 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 uh just hang in there.
And I know if there's uh any needs for some people that uh 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 uh our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Um hey, listen, it's Friday and uh 25 days now to election day.
Anyway, um, 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 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, uh 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 Newsom.
I'm thinking, well, Donald Trump shocked the world.
Why not?
Um, 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 states.
Millions of Californians live near or below the poverty line.
Politicians like Gavin Newsom talk about change, but they've done nothing.
Sky high gas and food crisis, 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 uh 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 Daryl Is's old seat.
These are really important seats in as much as they could determine the 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, uh Republican John Cox, who is uh I I think you've surprised so far a lot of polsters.
Nobody thought you'd get within single digits ever.
And one Paul had you within five.
Uh thanks for having me on, uh, Sean, and you're right.
I was uh listening to your earlier remarks about uh Florida and everything, and uh you said help is on the way.
That's actually our message to the people of California.
The 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 if you're in the in the San Joaquin uh valley, I was out and I did a show from there a couple of years ago, and then farmers to couldn't farm because they were saving the water for this little it'sy 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 uh congestion would be like?
It's it's all horrible anyway, and 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 gotta build more reservoirs.
That's all there is to it.
And but the political class, you're right, they don't want to do that.
They want to save uh little tiny fish, which is wonderful, but we gotta live.
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 and all sorts of other, you know, strawberries and 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 and had no money.
I was the poorest guy in Santa Barbara at the time, but uh I love the weather out there when I had my first orange picked off a tree, which I stole.
Uh it was like uh the best thing I've ever had in my life.
Um, let me ask you this.
So you have 13 and a half percent 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 is he putting up a sign that says if you get sick, come here, we'll take care of you?
I saw that uh Newt had said that all the other governors around the country are probably pulling for uh Newsome so they can send uh anybody who's ill to California, and our taxpayers will pay uh 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 gonna make California even more unaffordable than it already is.
Uh 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 uh pretty much an empty suit.
He was put in business by uh uh the billionaire Getty family, and I think people want somebody like myself.
I I struggled, I built a small business, I've gotten results in the private sector, uh, and I think that's what people are looking for.
How come the people of California, and then maybe I should ask the same question myself, because we're not far behind you in New York State with nine point nine percent high the highest income tax rate.
Why do the people of California take a thirteen and a half percent income state income tax rate and 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's had an exodus of people to do that.
So is New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
You know what everybody's saying in Texas and Florida and in 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 they're 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.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, look, 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 uh uh cost prohibitive that it's gonna end up being a disaster for everybody, and there'll be just a further mass exodus of tax dollars.
Nobody's gonna want to be there.
So I wish you luck.
If you look around the country, you look at Maryland, Massachusetts, uh, you know, uh, 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 gonna be doing, and I think the people of this state are gonna 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.
Thank you.
All right, Hannity tonight, 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.
