| If you want to be a part of the program, very proud, happy, excited. | |
| We will be in Houston, Texas tomorrow, 11 a.m. | |
| If you want to join us, all the details are on Hannity.com. | |
| I'll be interviewing Rick Perry, the former governor, Ted Cruz, who's in a battle against the beloved liberal icon now that they're trying. | |
| They're throwing tens and tens of millions of dollars from outside of Texas to support Beto O'Rourke, who can't even give a rational answer. | |
| Well, what are the high crimes and misdemeanors that you want to use to impeach Donald Trump? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Well, I'm just, I'm with them. | |
| What have I been saying? | |
| A vote for any Senate Democrat is a vote for Schumer. | |
| The people, this guy is so out of touch with what Texans believe and who they are. | |
| And it would be, it's the, you will get Chuck Schumer as your senator when we have one of the best senators in the U.S. Senate today with Ted Cruz. | |
| He is a brilliant constitutionalist. | |
| He's fought hard and delivered on the promises he made for the people of Texas. | |
| He's the only guy to stand up and say, wait a minute, we made a promise on health care and filibustering. | |
| And, you know, then you got this guy, Beto O'Rourke, claiming his mom's a Republican, even though she voted Democrat for the last 18 years. | |
| You know, a guy that's, you know, he gets a DUI. | |
| And worse than that, he tries to run from the scene of a horrible accident he caused while he was intoxicated and then lies about it to the people of Texas. | |
| What is it with Democrats that they all seem to have to lie to have any shot of being elected? | |
| Bredesen, lying to the people of Tennessee, caught red-handed by Project Veritas. | |
| Yeah, we're just saying publicly we'd vote for Kavanaugh. | |
| We thought we'd never do that. | |
| No, don't you don't worry. | |
| He's once he gets in, he's going to do everything you want. | |
| Don't worry about it. | |
| Clarema Caskill, same thing with her. | |
| Caught red-handed. | |
| And she's like, she's adamant. | |
| She's outraged. | |
| We need an investigation because people caught us lying. | |
| We can't have being caught lying. | |
| I hope the people of Missouri are paying very, very close attention. | |
| By the way, so fake news CNN gives this guy Beto O'Rourke an hour last night. | |
| Well, he didn't even get a million viewers on fake news CNN. | |
| We had Rush Limbaugh on with me for the hour. | |
| We have just shy of 4 million viewers. | |
| Beto, the big star, the whole country doesn't want to see him. | |
| Never mind Texas. | |
| Pretty unbelievable story. | |
| And oh, and fake news CNN. | |
| They failed to even call him out for lying about fleeing the scene of an accident while he was wasted. | |
| You know, and or his legalizing narcotics view. | |
| That's a genius for you. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| He will be Chuck Schumer. | |
| There's an article written. | |
| I don't know where I saw it. | |
| I don't know who this person is, Heather Wilhelm. | |
| The embarrassment, the embarrassing spectacle of Beto Mania. | |
| Do you know they've sent nearly $70 million outside of Texas money to unseat Ted Cruz? | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| That's why I'm proud. | |
| I'm going to be in Houston tomorrow. | |
| We're going to be following this story. | |
| It's going to be a town hall. | |
| I get to participate, by the way, which is nice. | |
| And Rick Perry is going to be there on behalf of Ted, and I'm going to be interviewing both of them. | |
| And it's going to be in Houston. | |
| All the details are on Hannity.com. | |
| I hope that all our friends at KTRH, I hope that they can come on out. | |
| We'd love to see you out there. | |
| It's going to be at the Doubletree Greenway Plaza. | |
| It's going to be 11 a.m., Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas. | |
| Then we're going to be in Beaumont, Town Hall there, 3.30, Edison Plaza. | |
| All details on Hannity.com. | |
| I'm excited to be there. | |
| You know, but one thing is true about this headline is it is an embarrassing spectacle. | |
| You know, and I'm telling you, the people are Texas are not going to put up with this. | |
| I know the people of Texas. | |
| They're not. | |
| You know, you have what? | |
| I think they start early voting on Monday in Texas. | |
| So that's coming to a head. | |
| I mean, barring a disaster. | |
| I mean, all he is, it's like, it reminds me of Obama in the sense that, oh, he's cool. | |
| Oh, Beto, O'Rourke. | |
| It is an outside Texas phenomenon, not a tech. | |
| Only, by the way, this is a New York, D.C. thing. | |
| This is a San Francisco, L.A. thing. | |
| He gets a full hour on fake news CNN. | |
| He can't even garner a million viewers. | |
| That's not just Texas. | |
| That's the whole country. | |
| You know, we could have put it on shortwave radio and television. | |
| He could have done a Facebook live show or a Twitter live show and done better than a million. | |
| Anyway, so, you know, Texans, by the way, we have some examples there of people asking non-citizens to register to vote. | |
| That's now becoming a big problem down in Texas. | |
| Oh, by the way, even MSNBC hailed Beto O'Rourke as a rock star. | |
| He could be the 2020 nominee. | |
| Yeah, try and get through Ted Cruz first. | |
| Good luck with that. | |
| But we're following all these races. | |
| Let me tell you where I think we are right now. | |
| I think the Republicans, I think between the caravan that we now have coming towards us, 4,000 people strong that want to get to the southern border of the United States from Central America. | |
| I know that the Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary Nielsen, I had an opportunity to call her office earlier today because I actually do real reporting on this show and get an update. | |
| Apparently, as of now, there's full cooperation with the Mexican government that that's not going to happen. | |
| But 4,000 people, still 4,000 people. | |
| And what have Democrats, what have they resisted? | |
| They don't want a solution for the border problem we have where the opioids crossover, human trafficking is occurring. | |
| You know, they now are using these drug cartels. | |
| You can't say they're stupid, they're evil, but they're not stupid. | |
| They've been using, and this is, I can't even believe this is true. | |
| You know, these drones that they fly with cameras above them. | |
| So they'll fly from Mexico into the United States along our southern border. | |
| They fly drones with cameras on them. | |
| And what they do is they map out where the Border Patrol, where agents aren't. | |
| So then they give like the perfect entryway where they're most likely to succeed in bringing in their heroin and their fentanyl and drugs that are really being targeted towards your kids, your towns, your cities. | |
| That's how evil these drug cartels are and how desperate they are to be successful. | |
| Now, the president, well, he offered, now he spent $3.5 billion so far. | |
| That's the only amount of money that has been allocated towards the wall, and he's spent every penny. | |
| But we need $25 billion total to get the whole job done. | |
| That in part is what this election is about. | |
| It's also about a party that has given up any sense of honor and any sense of constitutional authority, the rule of law that is based on our Constitution. | |
| That would mean due process. | |
| That would mean equal access under our laws, equal application of our laws. | |
| And we know that they gave that up, any sense of due process with Judge Kavanaugh. | |
| They wouldn't even give him the honor of the presumption of innocence, even after an FBI investigation, the eighth one that he's had in his life. | |
| Well, now they want a ninth one. | |
| But the way I see it, 18 days out, is that we've got the Senate is looking better. | |
| Rick Scott has a slight lead now in Florida, but it's not big enough. | |
| If you want Rick Scott has killed himself and done such a great job for the state of Florida, look at how this man is all hands on deck, doesn't sleep every hurricane. | |
| He's prepared to help out those that are victims. | |
| Amazing. | |
| Maybe he doesn't have the most charisma in the world. | |
| He'll be the first to tell you that. | |
| But you know one thing I'm a little sick of? | |
| A lot of politicians with a lot of hot air and BS that talk a good game and just are lying to us, which is part of the whole Democratic strategy. | |
| That's why Project Veritas catching Bredeson on tape and his campaign saying, oh, yeah, he's just saying he'll support Kavanaugh. | |
| He's not going to support Kavanaugh. | |
| He's not going to beat us. | |
| He wouldn't really. | |
| 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 would have wouldn't. | |
| But you said 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, I guess. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Straight up. | |
| Straight up. | |
| Are the people of Tennessee ignorant? | |
| The people of Tennessee are ignorant, according to the campaign of Phil Bredeson, and they're just doing, saying what they need to say to get elected. | |
| It's despicable. | |
| The same thing. | |
| Claire McCaskill's exposed doing the same exact thing. | |
| You're saying that you think she's more progressive than she lets on. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I think she's a lot more open-minded to like alternative routes to things. | |
| She can't be open enough. | |
| So she's a lot more open-minded. | |
| So she's a lot more radical than what she says. | |
| By the way, there's a story that just broke on Claire McCaskill. | |
| This is going to be problematic. | |
| I see it on FoxNews.com. | |
| And the headline is her husband is accused of abuse by his ex-wife. | |
| Anyway, it was reportedly accused of domestic violence. | |
| Missouri candidates Claire McCaskill's husband accused of domestic violence and his once company once victim blamed a woman who sued for sexual misconduct. | |
| Oh, I wonder if she's going to speak out. | |
| Like I've been waiting for her to speak out on Keith Dulleson. | |
| Well, keep waiting because we're not going to hear any of it. | |
| And we got, of course, Camilla Harris, other prominent Democrats. | |
| They slowly leak out what they want. | |
| Now, Maxine Waters revealed that they keep saying, they keep telling me, don't say it. | |
| Just shush, we'll do it, but don't say it about impeachment. | |
| John Podesta's group saying, just don't ever talk about immigration. | |
| Just get off the topic as fast as you can and talk about anything else because they want open borders. | |
| They want sanctuary cities. | |
| They want amnesty. | |
| They want sanctuary states. | |
| They made a political calculation that that's going to benefit them down the road. | |
| Camilla Harris, you know, literally, and other Democrats are now saying they want their crumbs back. | |
| They want to repeal the tax cuts that have set off the booming economy we haven't seen that is setting records for decades. | |
| And she wants to stop it. | |
| She wants to replace the tax cuts with cash payouts for the poor and working class. | |
| Well, 50% of taxpayers in America pay nothing. | |
| We already have redistribution. | |
| The crumbs that go to businesses and middle-class Americans, $1,2,000 a month, it is impacting their lives and creating jobs that we thought weren't coming back to America. | |
| 4 million new jobs since Trump's elected. | |
| 8 million Americans out of poverty and off of food stamps. | |
| 400,000 manufacturing jobs created. | |
| And what do they want? | |
| They want to go back to Obama. | |
| Well, we're going to add another, you know, 13 million Americans to food stamps. | |
| And we're going to put another 8 million Americans in poverty. | |
| We're going to have another eight years where we don't reach 3% GDP growth. | |
| We're going to accumulate more debt than every president before him combined. | |
| That's what you want to go back to in 18 days? | |
| I don't. | |

| As we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean Tolfrey telephone number. | |
| You know, with all the devastation damage that is down in the panhandle in Florida, all these people have been displaced. | |
| The panhandle usually determines the panhandle in Southwest Florida. | |
| Southwest Florida being Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Florida. | |
| I mean, they play such a big role in Florida's voting, as long as the I-4 corridor, you know, Tampa, Orlando, everywhere in between. | |
| And because, of course, then you have Palm Beach County, which, you know, dimpled, pimpled, you know, hanging, swinging, shattered, just Chad's, if you remember back to that point. | |
| If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry. | |
| You don't need to know. | |
| That was the 2000 election. | |
| It went on forever. | |
| You'd see these guys with their, what do you call those? | |
| What do you call them? | |
| Not microscope. | |
| Magnifying glass looking. | |
| Well, was that really a vote for Buchanan? | |
| That was it at the time. | |
| As I look at the Senate, I'm worried about Indiana because you've got a Libertarian that is siphoning votes away from the Republican. | |
| By the way, he's going to join us on Hannity tonight. | |
| And you take the Libertarian component out of the polls and Joe Donnelly's toast in Indiana. | |
| You can't waste your vote on the Libertarian. | |
| And I'm not trying to be rude. | |
| I love libertarians. | |
| I have libertarian positions. | |
| But the reality is they're not drawing any votes away from Donnelly. | |
| They're drawing him away from his Republican opponent. | |
| I think Heidi Heitkamp deserves to be sent packing and hopefully will. | |
| John Tester can be beaten in Montana. | |
| I'm telling you, I'm looking at the numbers. | |
| Rick Scott can win in Florida. | |
| It's way too tight for comfort. | |
| You cannot elect Gillum in Florida as your governor. | |
| You will destroy the Florida economy. | |
| Marsha Blackburn will be a phenomenal. | |
| She's an honest person, unlike that phony, that fake, that fraud Bredison. | |
| Same with Claire McCaskill. | |
| What a phony she is. | |
| And of course, you've got the radical in Arizona cinema. | |
| Oh, my gosh. | |
| Anything else we're going to learn about her? | |
| Hanging out with radical lawyers, defend the blind shake, inviting them. | |
| You know, oh, it's okay to join the Taliban. | |
| No problem. | |
| What? | |
| Oh, and Arizonas are crazy. | |
| By the way, Dean Heller is a very important race. | |
| He needs support in Nevada. | |
| We'll continue. | |
| All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean toll for a telephone number. | |
| We're on the road. | |
| We'll be in Houston, Texas tomorrow, 11 a.m. | |
| We're hoping that you will have the opportunity to get out and join us as we're going to be in Houston at a town hall. | |
| I'll be interviewing Rick Perry and Ted Cruz. | |
| And I'm actually going to be part of the town hall, too, which is fun. | |
| 11 a.m., Doubletree, Greenway Plaza. | |
| All the details are on Hannity.com. | |
| A Beaumont town hall at 3.30, Beaumont, Texas, at Edison Plaza. | |
| Tedcruise.com has their organization. | |
| I guess you need tickets for this thing. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I think it's all free, which is good. | |
| They're just town halls. | |
| And anyway, I hope I can see you in Houston at 11 o'clock tomorrow and Beaumont at 3.30 tomorrow. | |
| Look forward to seeing our friends down there. | |
| Maybe big time AJ from Houston will show up. | |
| Hoping that happens. | |
| That'll make my month. | |
| So we have a Washington Examiner report. | |
| Looks like the wave of Democratic violence and mobs is now getting close to home where I live. | |
| Long Island man arrested for threatening to kill two senators over the support of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation of the Supreme Court. | |
| Man identified as Ronald DeRicey of Smithtown, Long Island, left more than 10 threatening voicemails at the offices of two senators who were not identified, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York. | |
| It's about time we hold some people responsible. | |
| Remember all the times we have these uprisings, looting, rioting? | |
| Remember what happened in Ferguson, Baltimore? | |
| You know what we never do? | |
| We never follow up. | |
| We have all the videotape of everybody that's in there looting. | |
| We see their, well, they don't have a mask on. | |
| You know, we see their faces. | |
| We can find out who they are. | |
| We never follow up. | |
| I mean, if somebody's willing to threaten to kill a politician, I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat. | |
| They need to be arrested and put in jail. | |
| You're not allowed to make threats. | |
| And told all conservative groups, you do no good to the conservative movement, none. | |
| If you're on tape acting like a lunatic, if you're out there causing violence, leave your hands in your pocket. | |
| Keep your hands to yourself. | |
| You want to win. | |
| You can go out there in 18 days and cast your vote. | |
| That's how our system works. | |
| Unlike Michael Moore. | |
| And who's the latest one? | |
| Oh, Rosie O'Donnell. | |
| We have Rosie O'Donnell. | |
| I mean, just following in the footsteps of Michael Moore and Alec Baldwin. | |
| He came into office and did all the things that you probably knew about him. | |
| When he was elected, what I wrote on Twitter was, we should impose martial law until we make sure that the Russians weren't involved in the final tallies of Marshall Moore. | |
| Mueller has indicted 13 Russians for election midline. | |
| And people were like, martial law, what's wrong with you? | |
| You're a lunatic. | |
| He wants to send the military to the border. | |
| So I want to send the military to the White House to get him. | |
| Yucking it up there on NBC News. | |
| Tom Broca, are you proud of your network? | |
| Are you proud of NBC News, what it's become? | |
| This is extraordinarily dangerous. | |
| As you can see, the violence, the mobs ramping up violence as Election Day nears, we got Investors Business Daily. | |
| They've noticed the Democratic Party keep ramping up their rhetoric. | |
| You know, Maxine Waters, get a crowd. | |
| Get your friends. | |
| You follow them. | |
| You follow them into grocery stores, department stores, gas stations. | |
| And you tell them they don't want it anywhere anymore. | |
| You know, get in their face, Corey Booker says. | |
| Kick them, Eric Holder says. | |
| You can't be civil. | |
| I don't want to play. | |
| You can't say political. | |
| You know, Hillary Clinton, don't be civil. | |
| That's the environment they're creating. | |
| And you got, oh, this is my favorite. | |
| This was Time magazine, New York Times, their magazine, just when you thought the left-wing nuts couldn't get any nuttier. | |
| Magazine reporting a bunch of Trump hating nut jobs in Brooklyn, New York have turned to witchcraft in an effort to remove Brett Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court. | |
| What is it with the Democratic Party now witches? | |
| Washington Examiner pointing out that Kristen Sinema in Arizona, on top of, you know, her saying it's fine to join the Taliban and while her opponent was fighting that war, Martha McSally rightly asking for an apology. | |
| You know, the same woman calling the meth capital of the world and people of Arizona crazy. | |
| That same woman, a radical leftist, inviting the blind shake's radical attorney accused of taking messages from the blind shake to supporters that are also violent. | |
| I remember that case well. | |
| Andy McCarthy prosecuted that case. | |
| Anyway, a bookstore in Brooklyn is holding a public event to put a hex, to use witchcraft against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. | |
| It's happening next Saturday night. | |
| If we have any witches in the audience, there you go. | |
| There's your opportunity. | |
| Larry Sabato, House Democrats are close to winning control of the House, he says, but the latest University of Virginia analysis shows the race is not a done deal. | |
| This is now, I would take this as you better listen, or you're going to wake up in 19 days or watch TV in 18 days and see Nancy Pelosi's your speaker. | |
| He says a race by race analysis of Democratic House targets shows the party's close to winning the majority, but they don't have it put away in our judgment. | |
| Said Kyle Kondik, who's the managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball. | |
| In fact, district by district reviews show that the Democrats, in a worst case scenario, could be four seats shy of the needed 23 to install Pelosi as speaker. | |
| That's how close it is. | |
| You can't say you weren't warned. | |
| That's how close these house races are. | |
| You vote for Pelosi. | |
| You vote for any Democrat, you're voting for Pelosi. | |
| If you don't show up, you're giving a half a vote to Pelosi. | |
| It was one day a year. | |
| You can't get your ass out of bed. | |
| Take the time and make it better government and keep progress going, you will get the government you deserve. | |
| Don't blame me. | |
| I'll fight if she's the speaker. | |
| I'll be here every day fighting, trying to stop whatever insanity they want to pull on the country. | |
| Their endless investigations, their possible impeachment. | |
| Not sure this is so good. | |
| We go back to Texas for a minute. | |
| It appears that Vicente Fox, who I once had a big fight with on Hannity, and he said, they're not illegal. | |
| They are migrants. | |
| I'm like, well, if you enter the country illegally and you don't respect our laws and sovereignty, that's illegal. | |
| You're violating our laws. | |
| No, they're not lawbreakers. | |
| I'm like, yes, they are. | |
| They're illegal. | |
| Anyway, it appears Vicente Fox, the same guy that famously said the country will not bleeping pay for President Trump's border wall, announced that, quote, great American, fantastic Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke. | |
| Isn't that nice? | |
| The guy that doesn't want borders and American border security is supporting Beto. | |
| In Texas, we'll stay there for a minute. | |
| I'll be in Houston and Beaumont tomorrow. | |
| Might as well talk about more of them. | |
| But there's this caravan. | |
| As we speak, so you know, there's a caravan of 4,000 migrants from Central America fast approaching our southern border for a showdown. | |
| All because Democrats refused to secure the border. | |
| That's why we're in this predicament. | |
| And even after the president offered, what? | |
| A deal on Dreamers in exchange for the border wall. | |
| President spent $3.5 billion. | |
| He needs $25 billion to secure the whole border. | |
| This is what the Democratic Party wants. | |
| They've made a political calculation. | |
| Open borders. | |
| You're going to end up paying for the health care, education, criminal justice system. | |
| We've already paid billions and billions for years. | |
| And then on top of that, well, now we want sanctuary cities and sanctuary states. | |
| And we won't cooperate with ICE. | |
| How do you think Kate Steinley happened? | |
| And so many others. | |
| As I sat in a briefing once with former Governor Perry, 642,000 crimes committed against Texans alone in a seven-year period. | |
| By the way, Politico is warning the Democrats to prepare to be disappointed by Robert Mueller's report. | |
| Trump's critics have spent the last 17 months anticipating what some expect to be among the most thrilling events of their lives. | |
| Special Counsel Mueller's final report on 2016 and the so-called election interference, Trump-Russia collusion. | |
| Quote, they may be in for a disappointment. | |
| That's the word Politico got from defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 government officials with investigation experience spanning from Watergate to this case. | |
| You know what that means? | |
| That's 18 months your media has been lying through their teeth to you and creating hype and conspiracy theories and lies. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| On the issue of Khashoggi, look, I told you where I stand. | |
| I think this Washington Post journalist, and be very careful what you read because there are people that are, you know, trying to rush to judgment in this case and demonize the guy that was killed, which is wrong. | |
| Nobody deserves to get killed when you walk into a consulate. | |
| And the second thing that I'm watching is that, you know, because Donald Trump's saying, okay, we're going to have due process, Mike Pompeo said, give them a couple of more days. | |
| But I think I know where this is ending. | |
| I think this guy was murdered inside that consulate. | |
| It was planned. | |
| It was plotted. | |
| It was schemed. | |
| And if you want my opinion, the same Saudi Arabian leaders that abuse women that I talk about, nobody else in the media talks about, that treat them like fourth-class citizens, same country that, you know, men need to give permission for their wives to travel abroad, the same country that tells women how to dress, the same country that wouldn't let women vote or drive, the same country that gave Hillary $25 million to buy her silence about the abuse of women, | |
| the persecution of gays and lesbians. | |
| They murder them for being who they are. | |
| Hillary took their money. | |
| I wouldn't take their money. | |
| I don't want a red cent from those people. | |
| Wouldn't take it in a million years. | |
| And then the same country that persecutes Christians and Jews, good luck building a synagogue or a Christian church in Saudi Arabia. | |
| Tell me how that works out for you. | |
| I don't think it's going to work out very well anyway. | |
| King Salman, the older king, who is a senior member of the Saudi royal family, has now ceded much of his authority to the crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, now playing a prominent role because it appears that the crown prince is in deep trouble over all of this. | |
| Well, my take, my guess is it's going to come out he knew. | |
| Don't know for sure, but I'm betting he knew. | |
| I don't trust them at all. | |
| Mexico has now stepped up. | |
| They have arrested the caravan ringleader, apparently, and they also now have put a lot of their troops along their southern border to prevent this migration of 4,000 people. | |
| Anyway, the director of the organization of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which is detained at a march in the southern border, he was leading this caravan of 4,000 people. | |
| Mexico also, according to the Daily Caller, has deployed hundreds of federal police to stop the illegal caravan. | |
| By the way, this is our Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen and others doing their job saying, uh-uh, you're not going to allow 4,000 people to march through your entire country to get to our border. | |
| That can't happen. | |
| Fascinating editorial in the New York Times today urging Democrats to stage, quote, an intervention to stop Hillary Clinton. | |
| Member of the New York Times editorial board urging Democrats to stage that intervention to stop her from speaking out before she does any more damage to the Democratic prospects in the midterm election next month. | |
| Anyway, the editorial board member, Michelle Cottle, she's the one that wrote this. | |
| Anyway, she said Hillary has been on a bit of a media tear the past few weeks, holding forth on both personal and political and making clear that someone needs to perform an intervention before she complicates the life of other fellow Democrats. | |
| And then they have a former Hillary Clinton advisor saying there's a chance he wants to run again in 2020. | |
| Great. | |
| Don't you someday want to see a woman president of the United States? | |
| I'd love to. | |
| Not you, though. | |
| And I don't think I want Lion Pocahontas either. | |
| Man, what an embarrassment. | |
| One 1,024th Native American. | |
| Well, for 10 years, what did she? | |
| She was the first woman of color at Harvard University and at UPenn. | |
| Turned out to be one big lie. | |
| So that's the state of things. | |
| This House, the House of Representatives right now, way too close to call. | |
| You vote for any Democrat in any district, you're voting for Pelosi. | |
| That's it. | |
| You stay home, you're lazy, you can't get out and vote. | |
| Well, then that's a half a vote for Pelosi. | |
| You get bad news on election night, look in the mirror because you can blame yourself. | |
| These races are very, very tight. | |
| Same with the Senate races. | |
| You know, you got to support DeSantis, Rick Scott in Florida. | |
| Marsha Blackburn over the liar, the fraud, Bredeson in Tennessee. | |
| Claire McCaskill, time to go. | |
| She's another phony and fraud also. | |
| Now, it reports today that her husband's now accused of abuse of his ex-wife. | |
| You want Nevada to have the good service you've been getting the last six years? | |
| Keep Dean Heller. | |
| You can't elect Cinema, the radical, over Martha McSally, the war hero in Arizona. | |
| Heidi Highkamp, she basically is Chuck Schumer in terms of how she votes on everything. | |
| Same with John Tester. | |
| Joe Donnelly, Indiana. | |
| You cannot vote for the Libertarian in Indiana if you want good news on election night. | |
| I'm sorry about the Libertarian, but all he's doing is creating a path for Donnelly to stay in the Senate. | |
| All right, Hannity on the road. | |
| Glad you're with us. | |
| 800-941-Sean, toll-free telephone number. | |
| We're going to look at the polls around the country. | |
| John McLaughlin, Doug Schoen join us. | |
| Later on, Sebastian Gorka, Mike Lindell, Bill O'Reilly checks in today, and much more. | |
| And we'll be in Houston and Beaumont. | |
| All the information on Hannity.com, TedCruise.com. | |
| What's the combination of victories that has you winning the majority? | |
| Well, you know, I mean, it's neck and neck, as I said, and I'm not going to get into specific states, but across the board, we're doing better in places that we never thought we could. | |
| Where? | |
| All over. | |
| You name it. | |
| You name the state. | |
| We're doing better than we thought. | |
| You've already said, even though that's not done, that you would vote to impeach. | |
| And so, according to the Constitution, that means that the president has committed the crime of treason, bribery, or a high crime and misdemeanor. | |
| Which one of those do you think the president has committed? | |
| I would liken impeachment to an indictment. | |
| There is enough there to proceed with the trial. | |
| But Nancy Pelosi, crying chucksham and the radical Democrats, they want to raise your taxes. | |
| They want to impose socialism on our incredible nation. | |
| Make it Venezuela because that's what's going to happen. | |
| They want to take away your health care because you won't be able to have it. | |
| Our country won't be able to afford it. | |
| Destroy your Second Amendment and throw open your borders to deadly drugs and vicious gangs because plenty of them are coming across and a lot of drugs. | |
| Democrats have become the party of crime. | |
| It's true. | |
| Who would believe you could say that? | |
| And nobody even challenges it. | |
| 642,000 crimes committed against Texans. | |
| I sat through the security briefing with then Governor Rick Perry over a seven-year period of time, including, yes, very heinous crimes, some murders, some petty, but real severe damage done to the state of Texas because of open borders. | |
| And as Newt Gingrich said, yeah, there are two really big issues now impacting this race, and that is, number one, the way the Democrats act during Kavanaugh, no due process, no presumption of innocence. | |
| We got a caravan of 4,000 people trying to make their way across our border. | |
| That's happening even as we speak. | |
| Chuck Schumer is absolutely lying when he says across the board Democrats are overperforming. | |
| No, they're not. | |
| They're not overperforming by any stretch of the imagination. | |
| They are, you know, look, the hardest race for the Republicans to win in the Senate is going to be Indiana because you got a third-party candidate. | |
| And if you vote for the Libertarian, you're only going to hurt yourself and hurt your state. | |
| And Joe Donnelly, a loyal Schumer supporter, is going to win in that state. | |
| We heard from Beto Rourke. | |
| He sounds just like Chuck Schumer. | |
| We're going to be, and Beto O'Rourke couldn't get a million viewers. | |
| They gave him a whole hour last night on fake news CNN. | |
| He couldn't even get 1 million viewers to watch this ridiculous display of people outside of Texas throwing tens and tens of millions of dollars at a radical Schumer, you know, cloned, as if the people of Texas share those values. | |
| They do not. | |
| And then, of course, we have Beto himself. | |
| Oh, there's enough to move forward with the impeachment of Trump. | |
| It's over, but I still will be in Houston tomorrow. | |
| Rick Perry's going to be with us. | |
| We're doing a town hall, and Ted Cruz is going to be with us. | |
| Details on Hannity.com. | |
| That's what, 11 o'clock tomorrow morning in Houston. | |
| Then we'll be in Beaumont, Texas at 3.30 tomorrow. | |
| Looking forward to that. | |
| And I'll be interviewing Ted Cruz, and we'll be airing a lot of this on Monday. | |
| Obviously, CNN is, they've made their decision who they're supporting, which is pretty fascinating. | |
| Anyway, we're just 18 days away from these all-important midterm elections. | |
| And what do we see? | |
| We see that Bredeson has now been exposed this week in Tennessee as somebody that is purposely lying to the people of Tennessee. | |
| The same with Claire McCaskill. | |
| We see that Kristen Cinema is falling apart. | |
| I mean, literally, you know, she says, oh, it's fine to be, it's fine to join, you know, radicals in the Taliban. | |
| Actually said, oh, and by the way, this is the meth capital of the world, Arizona. | |
| Oh, by the way, you're crazy. | |
| And she has anti-war rallies while her opponent, Republican Martha McSally, is out fighting for her country. | |
| That's not playing well very, very well right now in the state of Arizona. | |
| And you see that Heidi Heitkamp, totally out of touch with the people of North Dakota. | |
| So it seems a lot of pickups in the making there for the Senate, for the Republicans. | |
| Tight race, though, in Florida, both for governor and for Rick Scott, who always does an amazing job for the people of Florida. | |
| Anyway, joining us to analyze where we are 18 days out is our good friends. | |
| Welcome back to the program, John McLaughlin and Doug Schoen, pollsters, both of them. | |
| John, 18 days out. | |
| What do you see happening? | |
| Well, the House is still in play, and the Republicans, without a doubt, are fighting back. | |
| They've gotten more aggressive, but still, they need to do a lot more. | |
| And what's really amazing to me is the focus of, you know, you're exposing the Democrats and what their agenda is all the time, but the focus of the Republicans really needs to be to expose Nancy Pelosi and what she intends to do. | |
| I think you played a clip earlier about Schumer in the Senate, and he wasn't very specific about where they're going up in the polls because the Republicans post-Kavanaugh have really done a lot better in the Senate polls that have come up. | |
| I mean, when you talked about Arizona, McSally's now ahead by a little. | |
| In Tennessee, the Republicans leading now decisively. | |
| So the Democrat opportunities to take over the Senate look like they're going off the table. | |
| And on the other hand, it looks like the Republicans are ahead in Missouri. | |
| They're running close races in Montana, Indiana, West Virginia. | |
| I mean, even in New Jersey, it's turning into a competitive race. | |
| It's really looking like New Jersey might be a dogfight for Bob Menendez, and the people of New Jersey have had it with him. | |
| And, you know, now his association with this Julian Epstein guy, that has now become an absolute verbal war between Menendez and his Republican opponent, and now showing up in the polls. | |
| Doug Schoen, where do you stand 18 days out? | |
| Well, I think where America stands, and St. John and you were right, unfortunately, I might add, is that the Senate has moved pretty decisively Republican. | |
| I don't think that New Jersey will go all the way because it is an operationally Democratic state. | |
| But the other states you cite, Sean, I think are moving in what I think is the wrong direction. | |
| Still have a chance to pull out Nevada and Arizona, but both of those have deteriorated a bit from my perspective in the last week. | |
| Well, I think Arizona in particular, but Dean Heller was in a very tight race for reelection. | |
| The Republican, it was a two-point race a week ago. | |
| Donald Trump goes in, and now he's up by seven. | |
| And I saw the crowds when I was out there. | |
| It was massive, but the crowd outside was even bigger than the one inside. | |
| Well, look, yeah, I was going to say, I've seen the same numbers. | |
| John, please go ahead. | |
| Yeah, no, I was saying, absolutely. | |
| I mean, the president is motivating his base, and the Republicans need to embrace that because nationally, when he won, he had 63 million voters. | |
| And when the midterms occur, we only get 90 million people usually out. | |
| It might be a little more this time, but it won't be as big as the 139 million who showed up in 2016. | |
| So if you can get the 63 million Trump voters motivated that they're coming out again, which the Kavanaugh hearings did, and it appears to have backfired, particularly on Senator Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate. | |
| If you can motivate those Republicans to come out, those Trump voters, those Independents and Democrats that supported them, they have a very good shot at gaining Senate seats. | |
| And it's probably the only shot they have of winning the House. | |
| That and going after Nancy Pelosi, the idea of stopping Nancy Pelosi, the most unpopular point of view. | |
| Well, let me tell you what I'm saying on radio and TV. | |
| If you vote, I don't care what congressional district you're in. | |
| There are 435 congressional districts in this country. | |
| In any of those districts, if you vote for any Democrat, you're voting for Pelosi. | |
| If you stay home, it's a half a vote for Pelosi. | |
| And the same in the Senate. | |
| If you're going to vote for Tester and McCaskill and Cinema and against Dean Heller and Donnelly, and you're going to vote for Bredison, who's just a phony fraud to the people of getting caught on tape being it and not put Marsha Blackburn in, you'll get the government you deserve, but you're really electing and voting for Schumer because they're going to toe the line with Pelosi in the House and toe the line with Schumer in the Senate. | |
| And what do we know that they want? | |
| They want to impeach the president. | |
| They want endless investigations. | |
| They want to raise taxes. | |
| They're actually saying that. | |
| They're hiding the impeachment, begging Maxine Waters not to say it anymore. | |
| John Podesta's Center for American Progress is saying all Democrats should not talk about immigration because they want open borders, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, and elimination of ICE. | |
| And they want to keep Obamacare. | |
| That's not, that didn't work for eight years, Doug. | |
| And you know what? | |
| Why Donnelly, who is holding a bit of a lead in Indiana, is saying keep ICE. | |
| He is saying build the wall. | |
| And he's saying no impeachment. | |
| The only reason he's surviving and not down by five or six now is because you've got a libertarian in that race that is polling at 9%. | |
| You take the libertarian out, Joe Donnelly is history in Indiana. | |
| Well, I wouldn't be so sure, Sean, but he is running where Democrats need to be in the center. | |
| And if we were a centrist party rather than a leftist party with new leadership from top to bottom, I think we'd be doing a lot better. | |
| I think you'd probably agree with that, Sean. | |
| How is it possible that Democrats hold on to Pelosi and Schumer? | |
| How is it? | |
| It is a phenomenon to me. | |
| There's a one-word answer, Sean. | |
| It's known as money. | |
| So she's raising enough money. | |
| Yeah, and so is Schumer. | |
| That's what it's all about. | |
| And he's absolutely right because, Sean, when we asked in September in a national poll that I did with Pacadel, when we asked voters, if the Democrats take over Congress, do you want Nancy Pelosi as speaker again? | |
| Only 23% of all voters said yes. | |
| 56% said no. | |
| But then when we asked them about the fact that, you know, if you know that they're accepting, that these candidates are accepting millions of dollars that they're raising for their campaigns from Nancy Pelosi, will they owe their votes to her? | |
| 50% agreed with that statement. | |
| Only 29% disagreed of all voters. | |
| So Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer hold the mortgage on these candidates. | |
| And let me tell you, for someone who's involved in congressional races right now trying to defend Republicans, the Democrats are pouring millions of dollars into the races right now. | |
| What impact will these tapes? | |
| I mean, Project Veritas released two tapes, and they are stunningly, you know, revealing in terms of the willingness of campaigns to purposely organize a campaign to lie to the people of Tennessee in the case of Bredison, to lie to the people of Missouri in the case of Claire McCaskill, to say one thing privately, another thing publicly. | |
| It tells me Democrats to win, they can't expose who they are. | |
| They can't talk about impeachment, which they want. | |
| They can't talk about immigration and being told not to talk about that. | |
| They can't talk about raising taxes even though they want that. | |
| They can't talk about Obamacare even though they want that. | |
| I mean, what kind of people are they if they have zero sense of honor, honesty, character, and integrity? | |
| I hope you exempt me from being a person with. | |
| No, I do exempt you. | |
| But you know what? | |
| Nobody's been listening to you because if they were listening to you, we'd have a whole entirely different slate of candidates. | |
| And frankly, the Republicans wouldn't have a shot this year. | |
| Well, thank you. | |
| I take that as a real compliment. | |
| Well, it's a fact. | |
| I mean, they've gone so radical left. | |
| No, I'm center right. | |
| Yeah, listen. | |
| Your style of Democrat. | |
| Listen, this is a party that kicked out Joe Lieberman. | |
| Joel Lieberman is one of the most decent men ever. | |
| You know, he's very, very tough. | |
| He was great on national security issues, horrible on social issues, nicest person in the world, but he's not left enough for the Democrats. | |
| And they threw him out, and he came back and won. | |
| But I mean, it says everything you need to know about the modern radical Democratic Party of Schumer and Pelosi. | |
| And Sean, you're right about that. | |
| Democrats would be better without Boca. | |
| Yeah. | |
| All right, stay right there. | |
| We'll take a break, and we'll come back. | |
| Board, Doug Schoen and John McLaughlin, our pollsters. | |
| Next half hour, we've got a lot more to get into. | |
| Later on, Mike Lindell and Dr. Sebastian Gorka will join us. | |
| Bill O'Reilly is going to check in with us today. | |
| His book skyrocketed right to number one on the New York Times list in week one. | |
| Congratulations to him. | |
| Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern. | |
| We got an awesome show for you. | |
| And then we'll be in Houston, Texas at 11 a.m. tomorrow, interviewing Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, and doing a town hall, also a town hall in Beaumont at 3.30. | |
| All the details on Hannity.com. | |
| We'd love to see you come out if you have time tomorrow in Houston and Beaumont. | |
| All right, as we continue with Doug Schoen and John McLaughlin. | |
| All right, 18 days out. | |
| We don't have a lot of time. | |
| We got a minute. | |
| Predictions. | |
| What's going to happen in 18 days? | |
| John McLaughlin. | |
| We're going to pick up Senate seats. | |
| The House, I still am not ready to make a prediction yet, but we can hold it if we raise, if we have a very aggressive two weeks where we make the case to stop Pelosi on the issues that you've laid out about open borders, taxes, a weaker America. | |
| She's really, she's the target. | |
| Senate, I think we pick up Florida, Missouri. | |
| I believe we keep Tennessee. | |
| Marsha Blackburn will be an amazing senator. | |
| We pick up Arizonas and Martha McSally. | |
| Dean Heller holds on. | |
| Heidi Heitkamp is out. | |
| Tester too close to call. | |
| The Libertarians killing the Republican in Indiana. | |
| Joe Manchin probably stays. | |
| House Too Close to Call, Doug. | |
| Yeah, I am a little bit more optimistic on the Senate than you, John, but I really recognize that the Republicans are going to pick up one or two seats. | |
| There's no chance of a Democratic win in the Senate. | |
| The House, I think the Democrats will get 26, 27 seats. | |
| We'll take control, but more narrowly than people had anticipated when they were talking. | |
| We can prevent that. | |
| You're talking four seats. | |
| That could be. | |
| I know I am. | |
| Sure. | |
| Wow. | |
| All right. | |
| Thank you both. | |
| We'll have you back. | |
| 18 Days to Go. | |
| We'll be in Houston, Texas tomorrow. | |
| Town Hall. | |
| Interview with Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, 11 o'clock. | |
| DetailsHannity.com. | |
| On the other side, we will continue. | |
| Bill O'Reilly's next. | |
| All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, Sean Hannity show. | |
| We're on the road. | |
| Tomorrow, by the way, we will be in Houston, Texas, doing a town hall interview with Rick Perry, former governor, and now energy secretary. | |
| And also, Senator Ted Cruz is going to be part of the town hall interviewing him. | |
| It's at 11 o'clock in Houston tomorrow. | |
| Then I'll be in Beaumont, Texas at 3.30 tomorrow. | |
| Same cast of characters, another town hall, more interviews, and a lot of fun. | |
| It's open to the public, and it is free. | |
| So all the details up on Hannity.com. | |
| We welcome back to the program Bill O'Reilly with a big congratulations to him. | |
| As we had him on, I told you I picked up his new book, Killing the SS, the hunt for the worst war criminals in history. | |
| And it has debuted now, number one on the New York Times bestseller list. | |
| The whole killing series that he has put together, it's nonfiction, by the way, when you look at it, is the most successful, biggest selling group of history books that have been written and sold in history as well. | |
| So you can get it on billoreilly.com and amazon.com, bookstores everywhere. | |
| And we have it up on our website, Hannity.com. | |
| Congratulations to you. | |
| So that's a testament to how great this book series has done. | |
| And I told you I couldn't put the book down. | |
| I've now finished it. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| Thank you very much for reading it, Hannity. | |
| I know how busy you are. | |
| You have to fight lots of bad guys. | |
| So the fact that you're the book is really a compliment to me. | |
| Thank you. | |
| No, there's not lots. | |
| There's like millions of bad guys. | |
| You know, people don't know. | |
| I mean, Hannity and I, we go way back, and we started at the Fox News channel. | |
| It was basically not this way in America. | |
| The hate wasn't nearly as intense. | |
| You'd agree with that, right? | |
| 100%. | |
| It's never been this bad. | |
| So what happened was that as the Fox News channel became more successful and the country started to fragment, then individual people like Hannity and me and Laura Ingram, we became targets and our lives changed. | |
| I mean, remember going, and I'm sorry I'm telling your audience this, but I have to. | |
| I remember going to see a Tom Jones concert. | |
| Hannity and I are sitting there in his second row. | |
| Do you know how humiliating this is that you were? | |
| We were both speaking at a restoration weekend of Atlantic City. | |
| Right, it was just in the beginning. | |
| Right. | |
| Tom Jones had no idea who we were. | |
| And women were throwing stuff at him. | |
| And then it was hard to do. | |
| It was horrible. | |
| We throw snow cones at him. | |
| It was horrible. | |
| And I'm like, listen, he's a great performer, but we were like bored. | |
| Oh, there's nothing to do. | |
| Oh, here's free tickets to go see a show. | |
| We walk in and it's Tom Jones. | |
| Tom Jones is not unusual. | |
| It's not unusual. | |
| That's right. | |
| I'll tell you what motivates me. | |
| And you know my background and I know your background. | |
| And in many ways, it's similar. | |
| You know, I'm a paperboy at eight, a dishwasher at 12, a cook at 13, busboy bartender. | |
| Then I painted houses, framed houses, did roofing, laid tile. | |
| That's another decade of my life. | |
| That's two decades of my life doing real work. | |
| But this is what's happened: we are now not only demonizing people we have differences with, as Hillary says you can't be civil, we are now criminalizing differences. | |
| You know, the whole witch hunt issue that the president talks about, where the power of intelligence forces used to stop one candidate that they protected from the law who broke, who committed felonies, lying to FISA courts with unverified information one opponent pays for, and then disseminating it with a media strategy to make it look like something happened that didn't. | |
| And after that, you know, two years of investigation. | |
| They want to destroy people they disagree with. | |
| That is the modern left today. | |
| I don't want to destroy anybody. | |
| I don't want to boycott anybody. | |
| I don't want people, you know, I want people, everybody has a choice. | |
| I can't make people watch Hannity or listen to this radio show. | |
| I do the best programs I can, and people have all the power. | |
| But that's not enough for these groups. | |
| No, because they can't win. | |
| They can't win on the electoral basis. | |
| We saw that with Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton. | |
| That was the last straw for the George Soroses and the far left, the Media Matters, all of these people. | |
| Once they went down in the presidential election, that all of them thought they were going to win because they had the media in their pocket and still do. | |
| Then they said, you know what? | |
| We got to abandon the free marketplace. | |
| We have to now go and assassinate people. | |
| And this is very similar to what happened in Germany. | |
| You know, I'm bringing it back to the. | |
| And by the way, you're not saying that, you know, it's funny. | |
| I saw some press. | |
| You're not saying that people today are like Nazis killing people. | |
| What you're saying is that there are similar lying, propaganda, misinformation, demonization. | |
| Very different from saying that there are death camps. | |
| I mean, look, that can't happen in America, thank God, because our structure is still in place to prevent anything like that happening. | |
| But I'll tell you what, Antifa, no different than the SA. | |
| George Soros behind the scenes with tens of millions of dollars, all right, funneling it into agencies that are bent on destroying human beings. | |
| We talked about this last time I was on a program. | |
| What happened to Brett Kavanaugh? | |
| Every American should pay attention to that. | |
| Because if that guy can go down on uncorroborated, then anybody in this country can. | |
| And as you rightly pointed out, they tried it with Trump on the Russian collusion. | |
| That's collapsing all over the place. | |
| The fusion GPS guy who put out that dossier taking the Fifth Amendment now won't testify. | |
| What does that tell you? | |
| Okay, so, you know, we're living in a dangerous time. | |
| Let me add something to this. | |
| I'm agreeing with you. | |
| What really got exposed to me that scares me a lot, and there's two things. | |
| One is we have a dual justice system. | |
| We don't have equal justice or equal application of our laws vis-a-vis. | |
| Look at Hillary Clinton. | |
| She, the biggest obstruction of justice slam-dunk case ever. | |
| But the problem here is we had one party literally before the American people, you mentioned Kavanaugh, abandon all principle constitutional law and literally core values that have served us so well, which are due process, the presumption of innocence. | |
| The Republicans, for the first time in their life, did something right. | |
| They handled it with the seriousness the topic deserves. | |
| They were thorough. | |
| They did it right. | |
| And at the end of the day, there was no corroboration to the allegations being made. | |
| And now we see people like, what, Eric Holder Kickham, We Can't Be Civil Hillary Clinton, get in their face, Corey Booker, or Maxine Waters. | |
| You see these cabinet people, you get a crowd, and you follow them into grocery stores, department stores, gas stations, and you tell them we don't want them nowhere anymore. | |
| That's what she said. | |
| Nowhere. | |
| It's amusing that you ran down the list, and we could add 10 more. | |
| And then Trump goes to Montana and makes a joke, a joke, about the Republican candidate for Senate there, slam-dunking a reporter, you know. | |
| And it was obviously said in jest. | |
| And the press goes wild, crazy. | |
| Yet all the things that you pointed out are somehow overlooked. | |
| Well, it's not overlooked. | |
| They don't care. | |
| Well, because now they're in concert. | |
| The American media is in concert with the Democratic Party. | |
| And I don't think that's ever happened before in this republic, where 80% of the media now is promoting a political party. | |
| So it's going to be fascinating to see the backlash in the election coming up in November. | |
| I do believe there will be one. | |
| I don't know the extent of it. | |
| I don't think anybody does. | |
| I think anyone that says they know doesn't know. | |
| I don't think a lot of people saw what happened on 2016. | |
| I said it's absolutely possible that Donald Trump is going to win. | |
| Then the five days on the factor, five days before he was going to win because people didn't like Hillary Clinton. | |
| And they were either going to stay home or vote against her. | |
| And that's exactly what happened. | |
| But I just want to reinforce this because I know you can't say it on your TV and radio show. | |
| But what you say is that. | |
| Oh, God. | |
| You say it, then they're going to attribute it to me, and then I get in trouble. | |
| Thanks a lot. | |
| Hannity lets O'Reilly say the stuff he won't say. | |
| You have no idea what I'm going to talk about because nobody ever does and nobody tells you. | |
| I don't even think you or me either know what we're going to say before it comes flying out of our mouths. | |
| No, but what you do every day, I mean, you're putting in four hours a day doing commentary, and then you have to go home, but you have to have unbelievable security surrounding you. | |
| That should never happen in a free society. | |
| It's never been like this, Bill. | |
| And you're not the only one. | |
| Oh, talk about it. | |
| Yeah, right. | |
| But, Bill, look what they've done. | |
| Look what they've done to the president. | |
| They're right, and the conservative commentators are all in danger. | |
| And this is, you know, to me, I'm saying to myself, this has got to be exposed, number one, and it's got to stop, number two. | |
| And you can't have people telling emotionally disturbed individuals, hey, surround them when they're in a restaurant. | |
| I mean, that should be, Mark Steen Waters should be investigated by the ethics committee of the House just for saying that. | |
| Bill, we have seen now in two major cities mini riots break out. | |
| We have two politicians, Republican candidates in Minnesota have been punched. | |
| The guy was cold cocked in a restaurant, got hit from behind, and he's got a concussion. | |
| And the healing time is a minimum now of six weeks. | |
| One of the people that were punched was a woman. | |
| Yeah, woman. | |
| You know, look at Pam Bondi, Secretary Nielsen, Sarah Sanders, Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi. | |
| Now we're going after women and children. | |
| Look at what's been said about Melania Ivanka on a level of cruelty that I've never seen. | |
| And by the way, unfair, Melania, she is one of the most lovely people you'll ever meet. | |
| I know. | |
| Same with Ivanka. | |
| And where are the spokesmen on the left condemning this? | |
| CNN, they won't use the mob word. | |
| Well, what is Antifa? | |
| Okay? | |
| You're not going to say the word mob. | |
| Now, if it were the Tea Party, Hannity, you know damn well CNN would be saying the word mob. | |
| Okay? | |
| But what exactly are those people clad in black with masks on? | |
| A gang? | |
| All right. | |
| Maybe a gang. | |
| All right, but they're organized and they're out to hurt people. | |
| And you don't care? | |
| You're not going to use the word mob? | |
| Come on. | |
| I'm worried in many ways that we're losing the country. | |
| We're so divided. | |
| And I don't think Rand Paul is too far off. | |
| I mean, this is the canary in the coal mine, a preview of coming attractions. | |
| If this continues, somebody's going to get killed or severely injured. | |
| We're that close now. | |
| It's like a tipping point. | |
| You can see it on the horizon. | |
| I don't want it to happen. | |
| By the way, and I'll say to any conservative, keep your hands in your pocket. | |
| And just because you disagree with somebody, be respectful. | |
| Respect. | |
| Don't do that. | |
| Don't do it. | |
| Don't go down to that level. | |
| Look, we've already had the shooting at the softball field. | |
| You're right. | |
| Which was undercovered by the national press. | |
| You know, Steve Scalise, everybody who watches Fox News knows the story. | |
| But if you just watched MSNBC, you wouldn't know who Steve Scalise is. | |
| You know what happened to him. | |
| So you're right. | |
| And that's what I'm talking to you about today. | |
| And I'm trying to read it. | |
| I want to hang on one second. | |
| Because I want to talk a little bit about your book that's called Killing the SS, The Hunt for the Worst War Criminals in History. | |
| It's on his website, BillOReilly.com, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere. | |
| All right, just play a little bit. | |
| This is so humiliating, by the way. | |
| O'Reilly has to expose this. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| It's not unusual to have fun with anyone. | |
| But in truth, he's an amazing performer. | |
| Yeah, man, people don't know that I had to talk you out of getting a permanent like he has, you know. | |
| I said, Hanny, no, no, no, no. | |
| No, I was thinking of getting the face work because obviously we're both getting up there in years. | |
| So I read your book and I finished it. | |
| And what I learned from the book is the effort of the world and how hard it was to track down these Nazi war criminals, I mean, it took decades. | |
| Yeah, because at the end of the war, the United States was facing Stalin and the Soviet Union, and they didn't want to basically go back to the Nazi thing. | |
| They had defeated them. | |
| So Patton, who was occupying the southern half of Germany, he didn't care what was going to happen to the SS. | |
| So they got away and they scattered. | |
| And they were helped by the Red Cross, which is based in Switzerland, a neutral country, by fledgling CIA people who wanted the SS to spy on Stalin and by members of the Catholic Church for reasons that are just almost impossible to comprehend. | |
| Maybe they didn't know how bad the concentration camp stuff was in 1945, 46. | |
| Tell you what, I wish we could tell the whole story, but we're just out of time. | |
| Bill O'Reilly's new book, it's called Killing the SS, The Hunt for the World's Worst, the Worst War Criminals in History. | |
| But I will tell you, looking at modern-day Islamic radical groups, Francis, Al-Qaeda, that's evil in our time, and it exists. | |
| Same thing. | |
| All right, congrats. | |
| Number one, New York Times, BillO'Reilly.com. | |
| Thank you, Bill. | |
| Appreciate it. | |
| Thank you, Prime. | |
| Appreciate you having me on. | |
| Thank you. | |
| 800-941 Sean Tolfrey telephone number will continue. | |
| Coming up next, our final news roundup, an information overload hour. | |
| At stake. | |
| I've been trying in, I don't know how many ways, to explain to my audience why it's different now than it was 15 years ago or 20. | |
| And I do it by trying to analyze who the left is, what they have become. | |
| I'm naive in many ways. | |
| And I might take a little objection to Rush being naive. | |
| You tell me if this is naive. | |
| I look at what happened during the Kavanaugh hearings. | |
| You just described Ryson and stuff to Susan Collins. | |
| We looked at the literal mob behavior that was inspired, bought and paid for by the Democrat Party. | |
| The media encourages it. | |
| In my naive world, that behavior would secure the biggest landslide defeat a political party has ever had in a sane world where decent people are the majority. | |
| That would be rejected out of hand. | |
| It wouldn't even be considered relevant. | |
| And the people of this country would want to get rid of that as quickly as they could. | |
| But yet, it may be close to 50% of the country. | |
| Fact of the matter is, since Barack Obama, the Democrat Party has been losing elections. | |
| Starting in 2010, midterms, Tea Party, all the way up to 2016, the Democrat Party has lost 1,200 seats, national, state, local, if you count all the way down to dog catcher. | |
| They've lost it. | |
| They have the least amount of electoral political power in Washington since the 20s. | |
| Where is this blue wave? | |
| Where's the evidence that people can't wait to vote Democrat? | |
| The evidence is that they're doing the exact opposite. | |
| Trump is out there continuing to do the things he did that won him the election 2016, all of these rallies. | |
| And they have been unable to get rid of him. | |
| They've thrown everything at Trump that usually gets rid of Republican opponents, and nothing has worked. | |
| And they're just frustrated as they can be. | |
| And I think they're so overplaying this, and they're going way beyond the bounds of anywhere near propriety. | |
| But they think most Americans want to be encouraged to do mob-like behavior, get in people's faces. | |
| I don't think we've lost the country to the extent that that wins elections. | |
| All right, that was Rush last night on Hannity the TV show. | |
| Don't forget, we're going to be in Houston and Beaumont, Texas tomorrow. | |
| We're interviewing Ted Cruz, and we're doing rallies. | |
| He's doing a rally, and we're doing a town hall. | |
| And hopefully, many of you will put all the details up on Hannity.com. | |
| You can find it there. | |
| So if you're in the Houston-Beaumont areas, we will be seeing you tomorrow. | |
| Look, Russia's right on a lot of thinking here. | |
| And the Kavanaugh caravan, as Newt Gingrich said yesterday, you know, we got 4,000 migrants now trying to make their way to our southern border. | |
| And what happens if they get there? | |
| What, in two weeks before Election Day? | |
| We're now just 18 days away from Election Day. | |
| Then you've got the treatment of Kavanaugh. | |
| What did we learn about the Democratic Party? | |
| No due process, no presumption of innocence, smear, slander, besmirchment, and bludgeoning. | |
| That is your modern Democratic Party. | |
| They spent two years trying to bludgeon this president, undermine his presidency with the help of a lot of deep state actors we have been able to expose in the course of the last two years. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| These are unbelievable times we're living in. | |
| Now, when I say to everybody, if you vote for any Democrat in the House, you're voting for Nancy Pelosi. | |
| This is not hyperbole. | |
| They'll vote for Pelosi. | |
| They'll vote with Pelosi. | |
| If you send back to the Senate somebody that just lies to the people of Missouri, Claire McCaskill, if Tennessee would ever be foolish enough, I'm worried. | |
| I saw a poll today, Marsha Blackburn down by one in Tennessee. | |
| If you send Bredeson, he's on tape with his staff saying that we're just lying to get elected. | |
| They don't even care about the people of Tennessee. | |
| People of Tennessee, I lived literally 90 minutes south of Nashville, spent a lot of time in Nashville in my life. | |
| And I know the people of Tennessee. | |
| Good, honest, decent, hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens that serve their families, their God, and their country. | |
| That's Tennessee. | |
| They're not used to being manipulated and lied to by the Schumer machine. | |
| You vote for against Marshall. | |
| You vote for Bredison, you're voting for Schumer. | |
| You vote for McCaskill, you are voting for Schumer. | |
| You vote for Cinema, you're voting for Schumer. | |
| You vote for Nelson in Florida, you're voting for Schumer. | |
| After all Rick Scott has done for Florida, Ron DeSantis will stop a 40% state business tax, which will destroy the Florida economy. | |
| A disaster. | |
| You know, same thing. | |
| Heidi Heitkamp, another one. | |
| She's not representing North Dakotan values, nor is John Tester. | |
| They both represent Schumer values. | |
| Joe Donnelly, by the way, that's libertarian, is muddying the waters in the great state of Indiana. | |
| And then we got one of the greatest, strongest, best candidates this cycle, John James in Michigan. | |
| I know he's behind, but I would love that he would be a rock star future leader of the entire conservative movement. | |
| You know, war hero, fought, served his country, successful businessman. | |
| I mean, smart and tough. | |
| Just what we need. | |
| And we have other races we're watching, but those are the main ones. | |
| But in the House, especially, we can't keep track of all 435. | |
| We're trying to. | |
| On my website, Hannity.com, we have the top 70 House races that matter. | |
| And if you have time, I hope you'll spend the time to look at it. | |
| Anyway, joining us now, News Roundup Information Overload Hour here on the program. | |
| We'll take your calls in the next half hour. | |
| But we have Mike Lindell. | |
| You know, Mike is, of course, is the inventor of My Pillow and the My Pillow Topper. | |
| But he's been traveling the country defending Donald Trump and trying to help Donald Trump with these House and Senate races. | |
| Been a longtime friend of mine. | |
| Has probably the most compelling personal redemption success stories I've ever heard in my life. | |
| Dr. Sebastian Gorka is with us, former White House advisor. | |
| His brand new book, Why We Fight, Defeating America's Enemies with No Apologies. | |
| We have that linked on Hannity.com, and it is a necessary book in these horrible times we live in. | |
| Welcome both of you. | |
| Mike, what have you been doing? | |
| I know you were in Minnesota recently. | |
| I know where that's. | |
| You have your factories there. | |
| You have your workers there, but you've also been traveling the country fairly extensively. | |
| Yeah, it's been a busy week. | |
| I was just with Laura Trump. | |
| We did an event in Minnesota fundraiser. | |
| And for all, you know, I'm working hard for Doug Wardlow against Keith Ellison and Jeff Johnson, our governor, and Karen Housley for Senate or Karen Housley. | |
| And then we have Jason Lewis. | |
| Just visit me. | |
| Yeah, Jason Lewis, by the way, is a very popular talk show host in Minnesota. | |
| Look, I feel good about the Senate, but, you know, I could sit here and make all the predictions I want, just like these idiots on TV that have been telling us for a year. | |
| I always believe that the media wants to depress any sense of hope that people won't show up. | |
| That's not the case. | |
| We know in 2016. | |
| But I think now Kavanaugh, caravans, and the exposed lies and the real agenda of the Democrats that are trying to hide, they have to lie to win. | |
| That's the saddest part of that party. | |
| No, it is. | |
| And not only that, but the radicals have taken control of the Democrat Party. | |
| When you have people like Maxine Words saying, harass members of the Trump administration, then you know the lunatics have taken over the asylum. | |
| But, Sean, let me give a sense of what do you say at the beginning of your show, Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled. | |
| Let me tell your story. | |
| No, no, no, get it right. | |
| Let not your heart be troubled. | |
| Right, right, right, right. | |
| I was in Florida last night for a battleground event with your buddies. | |
| You know, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Kaylee McAllen. | |
| Mike and Hugh are good friends of mine. | |
| Right. | |
| So we were there with Kaylee from the GOP, and we had about 800 people in this theater. | |
| And Hugh did something really funky. | |
| He said, can everybody who was a registered Democrat who voted for Trump please stand up? | |
| Sean, it was almost half the auditorium. | |
| Everybody's worried about this caravan coming through from Mexico across our border. | |
| I think Donald Trump has created a new Republican caravan of people from every walk of life, every social stratum. | |
| And I think what happened in 2016 is going to happen on overdrive in two and a half weeks' time. | |
| But we've got to have faith, and we can't allow the fake news industrial complex to get us down. | |
| We've got to get out there to vote, and we've got to take our friends to vote. | |
| Listen, it's going to be really simple. | |
| You're either going to be happy the night of election night, you're going to be sad that night, or it's going to be mixed results. | |
| And my answer is, why don't you go and win it all? | |
| I'm not sick of winning. | |
| And think of what Trump can do is if Mueller is now leaking that this thing is now coming to an end and there's no Trump-Russia collusion, which I've been telling everybody for two years. | |
| So what, now we're going to hand the reins of power over to Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Gerald Nadler and Chucky Schumer. | |
| God help us. | |
| It'll be endless investigations, impeachment. | |
| And again, progress. | |
| What do they want to do? | |
| Take their tax cuts back? | |
| Mike, does that help your employees to lose their tax cuts? | |
| No, and I'll tell you, Sean, you know, when you talk about, by the way, I'm finished. | |
| I'm doing the rally on Houston with the president. | |
| We're meeting at the White House this coming week for the opiate crisis and all these good things that are still to come. | |
| I tell people all the time, you know, remember we did that 100 days after the president was in power. | |
| People asked on that tour we did, people asked me all the time, what can we do to help our president? | |
| I said, you know, pray for his wisdom, discernment, and protection. | |
| Well, now, back then, we all went on faith when we voted for him. | |
| Now you have absolute, we have absolute proof. | |
| Look at this is amazing, all the great things he's done. | |
| You should be able to go out and tell your friends, family, and everybody. | |
| You can do more than just pray now. | |
| Get everybody out to vote. | |
| If everybody gets out and voted, they vote him and every state will turn red. | |
| Every person will be voting Republican. | |
| It'll be awesome. | |
| Well, are we better off than we were two years ago? | |
| Is mypillow.com better off? | |
| You now have 1,600 employees, all American workers, all jobs in Minnesota. | |
| And your business is booming. | |
| My best day is today, Sean. | |
| Every day, people ask me, when's your best day of ever? | |
| My pillow, it's always the day we're sitting in. | |
| And all my employees, what I see now in Minnesota is a confidence we've never had before. | |
| My employees, at my pillow, we've had the higher wages and we've had this, you know, we let people go out and try different things and they can come back right where they left off if they want to. | |
| But we're seeing that with all the other companies too now. | |
| I'm in a big manufacturing area and we have 400,000 square feet of warehouse and the rate where the wages are rising now because everybody's, there's a competitiveness of Snow where black unemployment in Minnesota is at a 17-year low and Hispanic unemployment. | |
| And it's just amazing things are going on. | |
| And the regulations, the stuff that has been taken back and that's helped us too. | |
| We're able to do things. | |
| The inner city stuff we're doing now that I'm doing with my foundation and my recovery network, I'm seeing these things. | |
| It's just everything's changing. | |
| You know, I want to just tell people very quickly when we come back, and you have given your testimony a lot. | |
| What people may not know about Mike before he ever created My Pillow is going to blow your mind. | |
| And I'm going to let Mike tell you about that story. | |
| Also, don't forget Dr. Gorka's book. | |
| It is such a necessary message at this time, why we fight defeating America's enemies with no apologies. | |
| We put it up on Hannity.com, Amazon.com. | |
| And as we continue, Mike Lindell, the inventor of My Pillow, also the brand new My Pillow topper. | |
| It's like sleeping on a cloud. | |
| But Mike is traveling the country on behalf of all of the Senate and House candidates in these races. | |
| We're going to be in Houston and Beaumont, Texas tomorrow, Houston at 11 a.m., 3.30 in Beaumont, detailshannity.com. | |
| Dr. Gorker also writing his new book. | |
| It's really an important message, Why We Fight Defeating America's Enemies with No Apologies. | |
| So, Mike Lindell, I'll let you just, you know, we don't have a lot of time. | |
| We've got about 90 seconds. | |
| Tell people where you were for 20 some odd years of your life. | |
| Yeah, I was a crack cocaine addict to the point where the drug dealers did an intervention on me in 2008 and said I couldn't buy crack anyway. | |
| I've been up for 14 days and they came back. | |
| They said, you know, you always tell us that someday you are going to come back and your pillow was just a platform for God and you're going to come back and help us someday. | |
| And we're not going to let you die on us. | |
| And, well, that's all come to fruition now. | |
| And I quit everything January 16, 2009. | |
| And now I'm coming in. | |
| I'm setting up this amazing. | |
| It's called the Lindell Recovery Network. | |
| And my foundation, Sean, I'm actually speaking this Saturday to 250,000 millennials telling that story in Dallas Speedway, Texas Speedway. | |
| And that's 7 o'clock Saturday night. | |
| called a pulse event if you go to my foundation right now we're at we're actually uh we're gonna i'm getting i gotta go quick what What's your foundation? | |
| What's the website? | |
| The Lindell Foundation, the Lindell Foundation. | |
| We're going to link the Lindell Foundation on Hannity.com, and that's this Saturday. | |
| And we'll also put up Dr. Gorka's book. | |
| Guys, thank you both. | |
| What you're doing. | |
| You're literally putting all your real work aside, trying to help get people elected. | |
| Thank you. | |
| All right, we've got to take a break. | |
| We'll come back. | |
| I will see a lot of you in Houston tomorrow morning, Beaumont, Texas tomorrow afternoon, detailshannity.com. | |
| When we come back, our Friday Florida, Georgia line Zach Brown concert series and Mike Bishop. | |
| He's running in Michigan's 8th District. | |
| And by the way, doing his best. | |
| Well, I'll explain his case when we get back and much more straight ahead. | |
| All right, 25 till the top of the hour this Friday. | |
| A lot of breaking news. | |
| We've got a great Hannity tonight. | |
| We're going to introduce you to John James and Josh Hawley and the guy that's going to hopefully defeat Joe Donnelly in Indiana. | |
| Although we got a problem. | |
| We got a third-party candidate, Libertarian, that's siphoning votes in Indiana away from the Republican candidate. | |
| It's a wasted vote. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I love libertarians, but all you're going to do is help elect Donnelly. | |
| And we learned so often that Democrats often encourage third-party tickets because they know they can't win a head-to-head match. | |
| Joining us now is Mike Bishop. | |
| He is running in Michigan. | |
| Now, Michigan is a state that's benefiting from the Trump policies. | |
| My hope is a total and dream is a total, complete revitalization of a great city like Detroit one day because we have so many jobs. | |
| We're building so many factories. | |
| We have so many manufacturing centers that people are going to say, you know what? | |
| We got all these buildings in Detroit. | |
| We can revitalize them. | |
| We got neighborhoods built. | |
| We can revitalize them and make it the biggest comeback city in the history of the world. | |
| Anyway, Mike is in that 8th district doing his best to make his constituents understand that what a vote against him would mean. | |
| Basically, your opponent, you vote for your opponent, and they're voting for Nancy Pelosi. | |
| That's just a fact, correct? | |
| That's correct. | |
| We've got an opponent who's come into town. | |
| First of all, good to talk to you, Sean. | |
| We've got an opponent that's parachuted in from Washington, D.C., and she's got a suitcase full of Nancy Pelosi money and George Soros money and Bloomberg, Stayer, you name it. | |
| She's got it all the way from Hollywood to New York City. | |
| Well, and it's the same thing. | |
| I mean, it's the same attack as the same phenomenon. | |
| I'm headed to Texas tomorrow, and I'm going to be interviewing, and I'm doing town halls with Rick Perry and Senator Cruz, and 11.30 in Houston, Texas. | |
| I'm going to be 3.30 in Beaumont, Texas. | |
| But you have all of this outside Texas money being poured into Beto O'Rook. | |
| One of the most fascinating things, you know, we had 4 million viewers last night with Rush Limbaugh. | |
| And they have Beto, the hero of the radical left in this country. | |
| He wants to even impeach the president. | |
| He doesn't represent Texas values, but he's got $70 million from outside the state pouring into his coffers just to smear and slander Cruz, which makes it very difficult because some people begin to get influenced by these negative ads. | |
| And Beto O'Rourke couldn't get a million viewers on CNN last night. | |
| They gave him the whole hour. | |
| That is just pathetic. | |
| The hero of the Democrats, their rising star, couldn't get a million viewers on CNN last night. | |
| Fake news. | |
| It is amazing to me, and it's happening here, too, Sean. | |
| My opponents raised $2.6 million just last quarter alone, and 90% of it, almost 90% of it, has come from out of state. | |
| They're particularly upset with Michigan because they lost Michigan this time around, last time around. | |
| So they want it back. | |
| So they're going to do everything they can to steal the seats here and buy whatever they can. | |
| And they're investing heavily in our state. | |
| Nancy Pelosi alone has thrown $3 million at my race to try to take me out. | |
| And it just keeps on going. | |
| It doesn't end. | |
| Coming from every direction. | |
| Well, it's a little scary. | |
| What are the poll numbers now showing in Michigan's 8th District? | |
| Well, we're still up, but uncomfortably close, and that's what we don't like. | |
| And we're encouraging people to get out, and we just got to get our base out to vote. | |
| Your team and your audience can help. | |
| We're at electmikebishop.com, and we'd love to have their support. | |
| And your opponent is a woman named Alyssa Slotkin, correct? | |
| Correct, yes. | |
| And didn't she urge her supporters to boycott local businesses that have signs that support you? | |
| She just moved into town. | |
| She never lived here before. | |
| She'd never owned property here before. | |
| She's never paid taxes here before. | |
| First time she voted was the last time this last primary for herself. | |
| And you're right. | |
| She came into town for the first time, met with a bunch of my neighbors and told them that if business is downtown, Rochester, my little hometown, had signs up for me that they should boycott them and not give them business. | |
| And these businesses have been hit by phone calls and threats and intimidation for weeks now, just because they have the identity. | |
| That really angers me. | |
| Let me tell you how I am. | |
| Where I live, I know everybody that runs a business. | |
| There's a deli in my town. | |
| I go to my local deli. | |
| Exactly. | |
| There's a meat market in my town. | |
| I go to my local meat guy. | |
| There's a local grocery store. | |
| I go to the local grocery store. | |
| I go to the local pharmacy. | |
| I go to the local gas stations whenever I can. | |
| And by the way, I don't ask if you're a Republican, a Democrat. | |
| I want to keep, you know, these businesses serve their community by being there. | |
| And so I try to do, I go to my local restaurants when I can. | |
| You know, I really go to three places. | |
| So it's not like I go to the, because it's just ridiculous. | |
| If you've been through what I've been through at restaurants where you just can't believe the crap that goes on if you're in the public eye. | |
| But, well, anybody that's going to say, and everybody in the 8th district of Michigan, if you have a Democrat saying, don't support local business if they don't vote for me, that is exactly like Hillary saying, we can't be civil. | |
| What's the difference? | |
| There certainly is no difference. | |
| And most of these people are supporting me, not necessarily because of my politics, but because they've known me my entire life. | |
| We went to school together. | |
| I frequent their places of business. | |
| And this person has come from out of town, doesn't know anybody. | |
| And to me, that's just an attack on my community. | |
| And it's a statement as to what she thinks about all of us. | |
| And she's never lived or paid taxes in her local community. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| Nope. | |
| She's not here for that. | |
| She's here to take power, and that's all she wants. | |
| Let me tell everybody, you cannot hold a business owner hostage to vote either my way or I'm not going to patronize your place. | |
| Now, as somebody has a radical view, very extreme, that might be a circumstance where you just say, I'm just not, those values are so antithetical to my own personal values that I'm not going to reward this with my dollars. | |
| But most business owners are like, man, they're fighting to stay alive every day. | |
| And it's just, it's expensive. | |
| The rent's expensive. | |
| The employees are expensive. | |
| Then you've got to pay for benefit plans and all sorts of stuff. | |
| I want to wish you luck. | |
| And I just want to tell the people, this is the Rochester area, correct? | |
| Rochester, Oakland County, Livingston County, and Ingham County, Michigan. | |
| All right. | |
| Listen, we really wish you the best. | |
| Mike Bishop, I'm sorry you obviously have a big bullseye target on you in terms of Democrats wanting you to lose. | |
| We wish you the best in your race, and we'll follow up very closely, okay? | |
| Thank you for your great support. | |
| I really appreciate it. | |
| Glad to do it. | |
| All right, that's going to wrap things up for today. | |
