	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
	We got you.
	I'm Carol Markovich.
	And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
	Normally is about real conversations.
	Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
	We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
	Join us every Tuesday and Thursday normally on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	All right, it's game day.
	Don't you love when it finally gets time?
	It's the lead up, it's Super Bowl Sunday, or you're going to a Sunday football game, college football game.
	I'm more college now than I am pro.
	And game day gets here, and you're like, oh, finally, let's go.
	Let's get the game.
	Right now, the game is being played, although it's really not a game.
	There's a lot more at stake than a football game.
	And you know, you've got to play the game to see what the actual results are.
	One of the things I'm I am looking forward to more than just about anything else is how accurate or inaccurate these polls are in the era of Trump.
	I want to know.
	I am absolutely positively fascinated by the turnout this year so far.
	Early voting has been extraordinarily high.
	Reports I'm getting from all over the country are that turnout is high.
	Got a call from a buddy of mine that is uh a friend that lives here in town.
	He said, You can't believe it.
	It's the biggest turnout we've had.
	And in 2016 was big, it's bigger now.
	And that is in New York, which tells me two things.
	Um, my my guess is that the resistance, if you will, the people that have been fed two years of lies and distortion and misinformation and propaganda and hate Trump, hate Trump,
	leading up to and culminating and crescendoing in, you know, and I'm I'm going to now, we've been saving these tapes, and we just haven't had the time to really take away from the program and the more important pressing issues of the day to just this this year has gotten so bad to chronicle it.
	And it's real.
	The you know, Ted Cruz was on 60 minutes and he said the hate Trump, you know, psychosis is real.
	He didn't say it that way, but that's the way I'm describing it.
	And that the resistance that, you know, Mueller, let's get him.
	Let's get it.
	He can't be president.
	Oh, no, we got he tweets.
	He does it.
	It's like every single second, every minute of every hour of every day.
	Your news media is more corrupt than it has ever been.
	More dishonest than they have ever been.
	They've always been the biggest donors to all liberal socialist democratic causes, and they've now just gotten bigger and more involved and more invested.
	And listen, for that they they all went all in on this election to motivate the democratic base.
	You know, I think Trump has been called a Nazi uh racist.
	Uh yeah, it's it just it doesn't stop.
	And it's daily, and it's so-called news channels.
	We got a lot of evidence.
	I have a whole pack here that I want to get to on hate.
	Um, and it exists.
	You know, imagine by the way, here we have Flewis Furracon chanting death to America in Iran, whining about the the sanctions.
	Oh, but two months ago he was sitting three seats down from Bill Clinton, and then the hidden picture for eight years with Barack Obama.
	And Alan Dershwit, it is it is unacceptable.
	Somebody that is that radically racist and anti-Semitic, and yet embraced by so many in the Democratic Party.
	Keith Ellison is another one.
	Look, here is what um here's what matters today to all of you.
	And it's cliched, it is not deep, it's not profound.
	Uh, I wish I had better words for it.
	You know, I always say about radio and TV that you cannot, uh if I could, I would.
	We don't have this microphone.
	I don't have that television camera, although I'm always off on election night on Fox News, have been for my whole career, thankfully, uh, because I'm so neurotic.
	I am on computers, on text, on phones, watching multiple TVs and and looking at county returns as they come in hour by hour by hour.
	I think at 2016, I didn't go to bed till maybe eight or nine in the morning the next day.
	And still got up, did radio did TV.
	And it was um, you know, it just was a magical night because, you know, we've had a couple of bad losses.
	And you think about it, I mean, we had some horrible losses.
	Two years of Obama.
	Now, look, when you really look back in retrospect, you can kind of see that momentum, and you say, Yeah, it was there.
	There wasn't any way that John McCain was ever going to beat Barack Obama.
	I do believe Mitt Romney could have won in 2012 had he run a better campaign.
	I don't know.
	I'll never forget I think it was the second or the third debate.
	He went, he played it safe, he played, you know, prevent defense, and you know, every single exchange, Obama was fick picking up 15 yards.
	And it was it was terrible, right into the end zone for uh a big re-election win.
	You know, there's just some things that people don't know about midterms.
	Here's the big challenge about today.
	But again, in the era of Trump, I I'm not sure what rules apply anymore.
	I don't think the old rules apply.
	And that's why they got it so wrong in 2016.
	And, you know, I was on last night, and I was you know, they characterized it on uh one website that I was, you know, I wasn't making fun of Nate Silver in any way.
	I'm looking I know he he's well respected.
	He saw the Obama wave when others didn't.
	I didn't mean to be disrespectful even for him.
	I like polling.
	I like research.
	I like it enough that I read research about myself about every quarter, and that's people honestly saying what they like and don't like about this radio show.
	And I think it's valuable to listen to your customers and your customers give you valuable information.
	And if I want to do the best job I can, and a certain patterns emerge, not just one comment, but say 10 comments that are similar, then probably people have picked up something that they don't like, and maybe I can pay attention to it.
	Maybe I can make some changes and maybe I can be a little bit better of a host.
	And so I've listened to that stuff, and I it's not about my ego, it's about how to be the best you can be.
	And and that's always what I've wanted to do.
	Anyway, if you, you know, so there is history is on the Democrat side when it comes to midterm elections.
	Uh, that creates a headwind.
	You know, if you go back 21 midterm elections, let's start in 1934.
	Only twice has the president's party gained seats in both the House and Senate as Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first midterm, and the next time was George W. Bush's first midterm election, but that was post-9-11.
	On three other occasions, the president's party gained House seats, and once it was a draw, and on one occasion, the president's party gained Senate seats.
	The, you know, if you look at some of the worst midterm losses ever, well, it was 2010, and Democrats lost 63 House seats, 69 seats all together.
	It's 70 seats, 63 seats.
	Obama lost two years into his presidency in the House of Representatives.
	And it was a shellacking.
	It never had been that bad.
	In 2006, this was in George W. Bush's second term.
	They lost 36 seats.
	Uh, one of the biggest election victories, I happen to be a part of this history was in 1994.
	Republicans had not been in power in the House of Representatives since the 1940.
	The first midterm for Bill Clinton was a blowout.
	They lost 60 seats, 52 in the House, eight in the Senate, and Bill Clinton was only in office two years, and everybody, they'll do the same thing.
	You know, let's say that I let's say conventional wisdom is right, and I'm not saying it's right.
	But let's say conventional wisdom is right, and that the Senate gets held by the Republicans, they pick up a couple of seats in the Senate, which would be great for them.
	And let's say that, you know, maybe they pick up some, they pick up the the House, the Democrats would, God forbid.
	You can prevent that today.
	You know, and Nate Silver in his piece said, well, it could be anywhere from 15 to 50.
	Well, that kind of is a little bit too wide a margin, but he is making an 80% or 86% prediction that the Democrats pick up the House.
	It's it's a headwind, but I'm not sure.
	I don't know.
	This is my best guess to you.
	I'm not a believer that polls in the era of Trump work.
	Um maybe that would even work this year, but it still wouldn't necessarily be that it works.
	It would be the history, it would be the headwinds, it would be the difficulties.
	Um, to the president's credit, you know, I look I love people that fight and leave nothing on the field.
	And the president, I was in Cape Girardeau last night, and we did Hannity from there.
	Um, in spite of everybody's uh uh conjecture in the press, I did not know that the president was going to invite me on stage.
	It was not planned.
	Surprised me, and I just said a quick hello to everybody.
	I will say this.
	The people in this country are amazing.
	I you know, I went out, I wanted to go out early.
	I got to the arena early, and I saw that the place had pretty much been full up, the place was packed.
	It was a pouring, driving rain in Cape Girardeau yesterday.
	It just was pouring.
	You know, and I went around and I saw as many people as I could and shook some hands, signed a few autographs.
	People would give me their make America Great Again, hats to autograph, and I'd say it's so soaking wet, the pen wouldn't even go in it.
	And this is like a Sharpie.
	So we have all that against us.
	We have Senate races that are razor thin and razor tight.
	Well, and one other thing I want to remind you.
	Because after Clinton had his schlacking in '94, and after Obama had it in 2010, they both won re-election.
	You want to know who the biggest loser of seats are in hits Obama.
	Do you know that when he was president, Democrats lost over 900 state legislature seats, 12 governorships, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats.
	And after eight years of Barack Obama, the map became red.
	These things, there's an ebb and flow to politics.
	And people also know when things are beginning to work for them.
	And that really, to me, is what today is all about.
	Today it's always about turnout.
	I can't say this enough.
	And it's not one state, one county, it's all 50 states.
	It's all 435 congressional districts.
	I know there are 30 or so that I'll mention in the course of this program today that probably will tip the balance of power specifically in the House by every indication Florida is so razor thin right now.
	When Republicans win Florida, they win it the day of.
	They win it election day.
	Rick Scott can pull this out and be the next senator from Florida.
	Um, we can have Ron DeSantis beating Gillam, the so beloved by, you know, the Democrat, Hollywood, Washington, and everybody in between because he's a radical leftist socialist.
	I don't understand when we have so many different people running for office with these radical views.
	I don't know why all of a sudden it becomes appealing, especially when you have all the success of the last two years compared to the prior eight years of Obama, why people are so willing to go back.
	All right, so we're gonna go over all of these.
	I'm gonna remind you what it was like for eight years, because people's memories are short.
	We're gonna go over the key Senate races one by one, the key house races one by one.
	Uh some of the latest polls that show just exactly how close things are.
	We have a poll with perfect accuracy predicting the GOP will hold the House.
	And this is going back 70 years, just an interesting sidebar.
	Doesn't mean that it's gonna hold, but interesting.
	Voters' decision on the House, you know, who knows how long this is gonna last, who knows how close it's gonna be.
	But it's but it's certainly a fascinating day.
	My advice to all of you is know this.
	We always get the government, whether we like it or not, we deserve.
	Everybody's putting everything in, every indicator, which we'll go over today, is in the right direction.
	And are you better off?
	And do you want to continue the prosperity?
	Do you want to shock the world again?
	If you haven't voted in Florida, it doesn't matter where you are.
	Go vote.
	All right, glad you're with us election day.
	Best election coverage available on your radio dial.
	Listen, the the if you take anything or glean anything from the polls, this is what you should glean that every single race is tight, that there's no such thing as a safe seat, that there is a lot at play, there's a lot at stake, and that your vote's gonna matter.
	And I don't care if you're in Texas.
	I mean, poor Ted Cruz had a hundred million dollars thrown at him or close to it.
	And uh a race with a guy that does not share Texas values.
	The strongest constitutionalist we have in the U.S. Senate.
	He's he needs that that turnout today, as does Florida.
	And I can't imagine Florida getting a 40% business tax.
	And Ron DeSantis is right, that's gonna lead to a state income tax because all of the spending proposals of Gillam are so high.
	It's unsustainable without massive high taxes, and the first easiest place he's gonna go.
	Well, we got to join the ranks of other states and we ought to become a we gotta have a state income tax.
	I don't think there's anyone better for the state of Florida than Rick Scott and what he's done.
	Marsha Blackburn has been a strong, solid, steady voice of conservatism in Tennessee.
	We know Bredison doesn't, his staff doesn't think too much of the people of Tennessee.
	Hope you remember that when you're voting today.
	I think one of the biggest races we are we all are gonna be watching tonight is in Missouri, where I was yesterday.
	The people of Missouri is so great, just amazing.
	Um if that crowd is indicative of what's going on throughout the state, it is going to be a really good night for Josh Halling, who I had a chance to talk to at length last night.
	He is a great choice for Missouri, and he represents Missouri values.
	He doesn't have to fake it.
	And in an election year conversion like Claire McCaskill's out there, well, I'm I'm well, I'm uh I maybe that wall idea is okay, but she's against everything else that mattered and when it matters.
	Once they get in there for six years, it's a long time.
	Votes for everything Obama and votes for nothing that Donald Trump put forward of substance, nothing.
	Um, you know, Carol, we you know, I'm looking at a bunch of other races.
	You know, I'm looking at the Dean Heller must win in the uh Nevada.
	That's an important race tonight.
	We're watching closely.
	John Tester is being tested to the limits.
	Rosendale can win.
	Martha McSally, we'll check in with her.
	She's got a very tight race against the most radical Democrat in the country, Kristen Cinema.
	Then, of course, Joe Donnelly in Indiana.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
	Glad you're with us.
	Election day, it's here.
	What have I said?
	You're gonna turn on the TV.
	I've been telling you for weeks, this night, and you're gonna watch the news come in and you're oh you're gonna be.
	It's like when you're watching kids play sports.
	You ever do that?
	You just uh, you know, my kids would play tennis matches.
	I'm like, oh, you start twitching, you know, when they when they hit the net and you realize you're getting way too into this.
	Um it is um it's uh you know what it is, it's a good temperature check.
	See where the country is.
	One of the things I think I like so far the most is turnout.
	I mean, the fact that New Jersey today, if if if people turned out in New Jersey, New Jersey could flip.
	Probably won't, but it's possible.
	You can win.
	I can't hear what you're saying in my ear, Linda.
	You have to talk on the air.
	What is it?
	What did you think?
	Congressman Dave Brad is here with us.
	I know I'm gonna get to him in a second.
	Okay, I was just letting you know.
	Okay.
	And so you get to watch tonight, you get it to hear the result.
	You do you want to hear speaker elect Pelosi's Senate majority elect Schumer?
	Because that's what's at stake.
	These Senate races matter so much.
	Florida matters big time, and there's plenty of time to vote.
	As does Georgia, that governor's race, a lot going on in Georgia tonight, and Brian Kemp.
	And don't forget Ted Cruz in Texas and what they've tried to do to him this election.
	Unbelievable.
	Bozo O'Rourke is not somebody that represents those values.
	And then you've got Claire McCaskill.
	She's trying to portray herself a moderate, just like Bredison in Tennessee's trying to portray himself a moderate, just like High Camp in North Dakota, just like Donnelly in Indiana, they're not.
	They haven't lifted a finger to help the president with all the success that we've had in the last two years.
	Same with John Tester, 87%.
	He's a Schumer Democrat.
	All these people are 80, 90% Schumer Democrats.
	So when I say if you vote for any Democrat around the country, it doesn't matter what race, you're really voting for Pelosi, who said that she loves San Francisco values and she's picking out the drapes and she's excited.
	She thinks she's gonna win.
	You can shop the world.
	We will see.
	You know, we have two, three options.
	It's either going to be Republicans win it all split decision.
	They hold the Senate, lose the House, or it's going to be a disaster night.
	And a lot of you are going to be drinking heavily with me.
	Arizona is a key race.
	Martha McSally is just a rock star.
	Tw eight 28 six years serving her country.
	You got Kristen Cinema saying it's okay to fight with the Taliban.
	Americans to fight with the Taliban after nine eleven, wearing pink tutus, and she's you know, a fighter pilot putting her life on the line in Afghanistan and Iraq.
	Amazing disparity, but you know, I hear it's very close in Arizona, just like it's always close in Nevada.
	Dean Heller's just holding on to a very slight lead.
	Turnout today is gonna make all the difference in the great state of Nevada.
	By the way, one congressional race we wanted to check in with a good friend of ours, Dave Bratt of Virginia.
	There are a number of seats in Virginia that are up.
	I know your seat is uh up for grabs.
	It's always a tough race for you there.
	Uh I also know that we've got others in uh Virginia.
	Barbara Comstock, she's always got a tough race.
	And we've got uh Dennis Rigleman, he's got a tough race too, right?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Everybody get out and vote, uh, spread the word, send the last email blast to your church list, your sports list, get all of us in Virginia, and then General Scott Perry in Pennsylvania is a superhero.
	Keith Rothbard is a Catholic superhero, and Rod Blum in Iowa.
	They all need your help uh immediately.
	Do everything you can, or like you just said, Pelosi runs the House, uh, Maxine Waters is the head of financial services, uh, and we lose all this forward momentum.
	The Trump economy is just roaring, right?
	Wages up, everything good.
	And it's what's at stake, socialized health care, open borders, my opponents for sanctuary cities.
	And so just everybody, get your friends out, pull everyone you can out to vote tonight.
	You got plenty of time.
	Get everybody out.
	All right.
	Well, we're definitely pulling for you.
	You've been one of the leaders.
	Look, I don't care, Rain or Shine.
	You gotta go out and vote.
	Dave Bratt, along with Jordan Meadows, they're the leading trio that have fought to keep promises that frankly a few other Republicans forgot about once they got into office, and uh looking for good news on Dave Bratt tonight.
	Dave, thank you for being with us.
	Appreciate it.
	The funny thing is the balance of power, I actually put it up on Hannity.com.
	It's it may the tipping point might come in a state like California.
	You've got literally Southern California, a number of districts, Steve Knight's district in California, that's uh their 25th district.
	Uh Young Kim in the 39th district, Mimi Waters in the 45th, Rohrbacher, our friend Dana Rohrbacher in the 48th, those are all important.
	You got Maria Elvira Salazar, who's doing very well in the 27th in Florida, uh, and and a couple of others, but then you've got, you know, other states coming into play like Michigan, Mike Bishop and his race, New Jersey, Tom MacArthur, Leonard Lance, those are important races.
	Lee Zeldon in Long Island, he's a very that's an important bellwether that we should get early in the night.
	That's an important race.
	John Faso's an important race.
	Uh upstate New York, Claudia Tenney is a big race.
	You got races in in Texas that really matter.
	Pete Sessions, the 32nd district in Texas, that's a big race.
	You also have uh if you again, Virginia, Dino Dino uh Rossi in the state of Washington, that's gonna be a big race.
	Now, here's where we are.
	It's you know, two years ago, we went into the polls, and we were all told 75, 80 percent chance that Donald Trump is never gonna be president.
	No way.
	The election results came in two years ago, this election day.
	We were told that 5 15 Eastern time, and I'll get exit polls at the same time this year.
	I'm not even sure if I'm gonna bother sharing them with you because they've been wrong so often.
	And I and people hear it, well, why am I going to vote?
	There's no point.
	Because they were wrong so often.
	Two thousand and four, John Kerry at five fifteen in the afternoon, exit polls come in that showed that John Kerry was the next president of the United States.
	The vice president at the time, Dick Cheney called this radio show on election day 2004 and said, uh, get out and vote Florida and Ohio.
	Because those two states were needed in mass.
	Well, they're needed in mass now.
	It never changes with Florida and Ohio.
	They always play a pivotal role in elections, period.
	They just do.
	You know, you look at the deals that the president has made.
	You know, think of where we were two years ago.
	And everybody predicted Hillary.
	They were all giddy in the media when they were reading the exit polls.
	They were all dead wrong.
	And the people of this country, the good people that work hard, play by the rules, pay taxes, raise their kids, go to church, cling to their god gun Bible religion, irredeemable deplorables, smelly Walmart people like us.
	You're the ones that shocked the world.
	It's always fun because they think they have all this power and all this influence.
	It's really, do they?
	Or do you?
	Or do you care enough to?
	You know, one of the things that we often take for granted are the many blessings of America.
	One of them is the ability to change our government.
	Look at the economy.
	Donald Trump's elected four and a half million new jobs, 4.3 million fewer Americans on food stamps.
	All the things I talked about in 2016.
	Now we've gone from 13 million more Americans in food stamps to 4.3 million fewer.
	Now we have 4.5 million more jobs.
	We have 4.2 million lifted out of poverty.
	We've added 400,000 manufacturing jobs, the jobs Obama said were never coming back.
	Unemployment, 49 year low in America.
	Record low unemployment, records, meaning never happened before.
	African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, 14 states record low unemployment.
	Historic low unemployment for women in the workplace and military vets.
	Median household income.
	That's now hitting record levels, record highs.
	4.2% GDP growth in the second quarter.
	Quarter.
	I mean, this remember Barack Obama never got the only president never to reach 3% GDP growth in a single year.
	You know, this is as the president, you know, you think of all the promises he's made and all that he's kept.
	He hasn't been able to do everything.
	Half the time he's doing it on his own, or he's carrying Republicans that are weak and spineless and oh, and hemming and hawing on his back, but they're getting done.
	His promise to open up American energy.
	Well, drilling in Anwar.
	How many years have we been begging for that?
	It's open now.
	The Keystone Pipeline being built.
	Dakota Access Pipeline being built, taking care of coal miners in West Virginia, Kentucky, and elsewhere.
	Done an industry that was headed for extinction.
	He promised new trade deals with Europe.
	We're getting them.
	He renegotiated NAFTA.
	That helps farmers in Wisconsin and Michigan and all throughout the U.S. You know, even Georgia and Florida, where they got hit really hard with the hurricane.
	You know, that's a promise made, a promise kept.
	I think this defines what Trump's presidency has been.
	You know, for those of us that always loved Reagan, peace through strength, trust but verify.
	Look, the toughest sanctions ever put on the Iranian regime were put on that regime yesterday by the president after he pulled us out of this idiotic Iranian deal, which gave the Iranians pretty much everything they wanted, including 150 billion dollars in cash and other currencies that we put in cargo planes and dropped on their tarmac so the mullahs could be super rich, making the mullahs rich again.
	You know, look at the looming crisis in North Korea.
	That stopped.
	Remains have been sent home, hostages have been sent home.
	You know, we we've don't have missiles fired over Japan every other day.
	Little Rocket Man, Fire and Fury now talks about denuclearization, Which is great for peace in the world.
	How many presidents promised to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem?
	Those are promises made by other people, but they were never kept.
	This time it was kept.
	President Obama, I love it.
	He's out taking credit for all this.
	You know, the same guy that said, you didn't build that.
	You know, somebody else built that.
	But now he's out there claiming he built the economy.
	But his track record, you know, this is why it frustrates me that people's memories are short.
	It frustrates me that after eight years of Obama, he's out on the road.
	He's trying to sell health care to American voters.
	And I'm like, oh my God, you can't be serious.
	Keep your doctor, keep your plan, save less.
	Millions of Americans lost their doctors, lost their plans, and they're paying 200, 300% more in many cases.
	And so many counties and towns and cities and states, even they have one health care provider, one choice.
	There's no choice in health care.
	He put at the end of his presidency, start to finish, 13 more million Americans on food stamps.
	8 million more Americans in poverty.
	Lowest labor participation rate in eight years since the 70s, the worst recovery since the 40s, lowest home ownership rate in 51 years.
	The first president never to reach 3% GDP growth in a single year of his presidency.
	He, you know, once claimed that $9 trillion in debt is irresponsible and unpatriotic.
	Then he goes on to double the debt, accumulating more debt than every other president before him combined.
	You know, there's a lot at stake here.
	Ask yourself, what are the Democrats offering you to make your life better?
	And is it worth continuing the success of moving Americans into more prosperity, a more secure country?
	If you like safety, security, prosperity, then vote Republican.
	What are the Democrats' plan?
	They don't have any plan to make your life better, to improve the lives of the forgotten men and women of this country.
	It was only two years ago.
	We had eight years of their their whatever their plans were.
	It failed miserably.
	You know, they won't even tell us what their plans are.
	They tell Maxime Waters, don't talk about impeachment.
	That's part of their plan.
	Endless investigation is part of their plan.
	You know, Maxime Waters is promising it.
	The first African American We'll do to, and the same with the biggest liar in Congress, Shifty Schiff, bragging about his plans.
	Russia, Russia, Russia.
	Good grief.
	Another two years of this.
	So they want endless investigations, impeached the president.
	You saw how they feel about constitutionalists on the court.
	They want to block all presidential judicial appointments.
	They want to go back to Obamacare.
	We know they want the crumbs back, the biggest tax cut in American history, that they want back.
	And we also know that they want sanctuary cities and open borders and amnesty.
	Abolish ICE.
	And they don't want to tell you about that because their advisors are saying, just don't talk about it, change the subject.
	Everything's up for grabs.
	And there's three scenarios.
	But the most important one is today is the day that you have power.
	Today means everything.
	Day of voting, it means everything.
	Every state matters because every state has a congressional seat.
	Every American has somebody to vote for today.
	It's especially important in states like Florida, Tennessee, Missouri today, states like Nevada, states like Arizona, states like Montana, states like North Dakota, states like Indiana, West Virginia, New Jersey, and California, believe it or not, especially Southern California.
	That's what matters.
	Now we'll get the results.
	We'll live with them.
	We're not going to have a freak out like the rest of the people of the news media like they usually do.
	And we're going to do our best to help our country.
	You know, we'll deal with whatever hand we're dealt.
	And we'll keep fighting.
	We'll say this.
	Well, I'll save this for tomorrow.
	Coming up, Martha McSally is gonna step in.
	We're gonna check in with Herc Pam Bondy, the state of Florida, ever so close, and you get To vote, it's election day.
	Don't you feel good about that?
	The power's in your hands, and you know what?
	Voter turnout reports seem heavy all across the country.
	That's good news.
	I hope the Trump people are getting out.
	If you haven't gotten out yet, your friends haven't gotten out.
	You got plenty of time.
	Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, Arizona, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, West Virginia, New York, California.
	We need you all.
	All right, all 435 House districts.
	That means every American has the opportunity to ensure that you don't hear the words tonight or tomorrow morning, speaker elect Nancy Pelosi.
	The thought of that is gonna make me drink very heavily uh tonight.
	I never I'm never a part of Fox election coverage.
	Everybody asking me what time you are on tonight.
	I'm not.
	I mean, they just hand it over to the news division and they do their thing and they're very good at it.
	And uh I stay home and I look at computers and TVs, and I am a maniac.
	I had it all set up.
	I kind of quarter myself off from the world, and I'm looking at every county, Hamilton County, Cuyahoga County, Palm Beach County, uh what's going on in the panhandle and Lee County, Collier County, and Broward County.
	This is what I do.
	Always have to know what's going on in Ohio and Florida.
	Florida's so close.
	Nobody can pick it.
	I mean, I actually saw a series of polls, one point either way in both the governor and senators race there.
	You know, the big Senate races we're watching.
	Marsha Blackburn, um, hoping the people of Tennessee show up in big numbers for her.
	Bredison, his staff caught on tape saying, Oh, we're just we're gonna lie to the people of Tennessee.
	Another big race is in Missouri, had a great time in Cape Girardeau yesterday, meeting so many wonderful people in that state.
	What a warm welcome you gave me.
	I was overwhelmed to be very honest.
	And it was uh it was so much fun.
	Uh, thank you.
	And and today Missouri is a show up state.
	Show me state, show up day of election day state, as all of them are.
	I know a lot of states have early voting.
	Same with Nevada.
	We have big races, Indiana today.
	You're needed big time.
	You know, don't vote libertarian in in in Indiana, or else you're gonna help elect Joe Donnelly.
	We know the dirty tricks he was out there promoting the libertarian because he can't win.
	He knows a straight up race against a Republican.
	You know, one of the reasons John Tester is now down by three.
	The problem in Montana is 50% of the votes already been sent in.
	So today is the day.
	More people have to go out for Rosendale.
	One of the races that has caught my attention more than others in the great state of Arizona.
	I've now gotten to know Martha McSally, had her on TV and radio a bunch, and she is up against the single most radical candidate that the Democrats have put up this year.
	I mean, a person who actually in other states called the people of Arizona crazy, and another time crazy, but in a Lindsay Lohan way, the meth lab of democracy.
	Martha McSally, what 26 years serving her country, serving six tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq while she was flying fighter jets.
	There was Martha McSally protesting the war in pink tutus, literally, and inviting witches to the party.
	And also saying that, and she had an opportunity this weekend to apologize for saying that she has no problem with Americans joining our enemies, the Taliban.
	Martha McSally uh is with us for a few moments today.
	How are you feeling today?
	Hey, Sean, good to be back.
	We're feeling good.
	We're going strong.
	We still got about five hours to fight for every last vote.
	You know, this election will be decided today.
	Even though we do vote a lot early, uh, up to 80% vote early.
	It is all about turnout right now.
	It's all about people getting off the couch, getting out of work, and getting to the polls to make sure that their voice is heard for the direction this state and country is gonna go.
	A lot of the information that I just talked about regarding your opponent, Kristen Cinema, that didn't come out.
	That came out after early voting started.
	And I gotta imagine there's some buyer's remorse from a lot of people because they had no idea that she was this radical.
	Yeah, I mean, we knew about her radical activist past.
	She was a green party activist.
	You know, the pink two wearing protests against our military, uh, depicting us, the troops, as skeletons on flyers that she handed out at protest, saying we're the ones conducting terror in the Middle East, pointing to shut down Luke Air Force Base, where 75% of the world's F-35 pilots are trained.
	I mean, she has a radical F-path.
	Uh, but what has been on earth over the last several weeks is more and more of her being caught as she really is, you know, with all the things you just said.
	As recently as March of this year, mocking Arizona that she actually got elected in Arizona, like jokes on us.
	And we gotta make sure that we get the last laugh, Sean, and that's what these next five hours are.
	Well, I think that twenty percent that you're talking about is key for you out there, and if you're in Arizona, uh, you know, you're gonna have to get to the polls because it will decide the race.
	Unfortunately, a lot of that information came out pretty late, but um, I can't even believe it's a race at this point.
	Are the uh I also heard from a friend of mine in Arizona that the media basically tries to cover up for her out there, is that true?
	It it's extraordinary, Sean.
	I mean, the mainstream media here, every time one of these new things came out, uh, they would just make excuses for her or they wouldn't cover it.
	Uh and and this is what I mean, look, we know what the mainstream national media is like, right?
	We had CNN break two negative stories on my opponent.
	We had a front page New York Times article about her lying about her upbringing.
	When the liberal national media is breaking stories on it, you know it's bad.
	But the Arizona media kept making excuses for, like, oh, that's not really what she meant.
	I I've never seen anything like it.
	People around the country are thinking, oh, this race must be over.
	And the voters in Arizona have you know, again, for the most part, uh the the persuadable voters, they've been protected from even hearing about it.
	And she's got this tens of millions of dollars of TV ads portraying her as if she's right of center, as if she's a conservative Democrat, which is an oxymoron.
	Uh that's not who she is, and she's in the liberal witness protection program right now, just hiding from the voter.
	By the way, all those Project Veritas tapes that we revealed, uh, one on Gillam, one on Brettison, one on Claire McCaskill, one on Heidi Heikamp, and one on your opponent Kristen Cinema, all show the same thing that they you go into these campaigns, and when they talk freely and they don't know they're being recorded, they all are honest saying, Oh, we're just saying these things to get elected.
	She's really, really we promise she's like a Schumer liberal.
	We promised, but you know, we can't tell anybody that because it seems that they can't be honest in who they are and ever win an election.
	That's pretty sad.
	It is sad.
	And you and this came out with her as well.
	Um, she's Chuck Schumer's topper crew.
	Don't be fooled about that.
	Uh, she would vote no on Brett Kavanaugh.
	She voted no on our tax cut bill, that is putting the economy into afterburner.
	You know, she voted with Chuck Schumer in the Schumer shutdown, you know, choosing illegal immigrants over our troops.
	Uh, I heard she had a like a an election eve conversion all of a sudden on immigration, what, this weekend?
	Oh man, give me a break.
	I mean, look, she used to be an activist handing out uh or helping people cross illegally.
	And when she was asked about the troops going to the border, I mean, she she told Fox Business, well, they should stay hydrated.
	What I answered was, thank you for your service.
	Border security is national security.
	As a veteran myself, I know the sacrifices you make.
	This mission is so important.
	Welcome to Arizona.
	We're glad to have you because we care so much about our troops and care much about border security.
	So she just doesn't even know what she's talking about.
	And she voted against cutting off funding for sanctuary cities, and she voted against Grant's law, named after Grant Ronaback, right here in Arizona, who was she's a good thing.
	We've had we've had we've had Grant Ronabach's dad, Steve Ronaback, on this program many times.
	This young this poor kid was working in a uh, you know, one of those convenience stores overnight.
	Yes, you know, to trying to get money for his college and his future and building a life from some way.
	I think he was 22 at the time or 21.
	Yep.
	You had a guy that had already been a criminal alien that was let loose, serious crimes, and they just for a pack of cigarettes, he killed this poor kid.
	His father's a wonderful man.
	He is.
	So Steve and the other angel families, they've endorsed me.
	Uh, and Kirsten Cinema, my opponent, wouldn't even meet with Steve and his family.
	And then when the vote came up on Grant's Law, named after an Arizonan who is no longer with us because of the failed policies on immigration and and the lack of border security, she votes no.
	So she's trying to fool people that she's saying some things of border security, but her, you know, her record and her views are dangerous on this issue.
	Well, I think yours is one of the more important races in the country.
	Um, I know that there was unfortunately to it took while uh people way too long because the media doesn't do its job in vetting Kristen Cinema.
	And yeah, she likes it Heidi Heikamp and Claire McCaskill and Phil Bredison and uh Bill Do Nothing Nelson.
	They they try to portray themselves every six years as as moderates.
	John Tester does the same thing.
	Donnelly's done the same thing, and they're not.
	They're anything but um anyway.
	We wish you listen, you have served your country with great honor and great distinction.
	Um I know people put a lot on the line election day.
	You put a lot of line on the line for your country.
	Turnout is the answer to everything today.
	Every state needs turnout, every district needs turnout.
	That is the only way to overcome the historical trends, the headwinds that face any administration in their first midterm election.
	And uh, I hope the people of Arizona recognize your great service to your country and and we'll give you a shot at the U.S. Senate, and I'm sure you'll do a great job.
	Thanks, Sean.
	I really appreciate it.
	Tell people get to the polls when the vice president called me today.
	He said, Lots of people are praying for you.
	I said, people have been saying that to me all day, and I said, pray for the voters.
	Pray for people are praying for our country.
	I've done my part.
	Pray for the voters.
	They need to get and up and do their part right now, today, in the next five hours in Arizona.
	That's a good thing.
	That's so well said.
	You got to do your part.
	Thank you.
	Martha McSally.
	Uh I can't believe this race is tight by every poll, every measure.
	It's tight in Arizona.
	So that vote out there, today's vote will decide the winner.
	Not early voting.
	Today's vote is gonna decide the winner.
	Same with Florida.
	Same with Missouri.
	Today, Missouri's all day up.
	Same with New Jersey.
	You know, some of these states have large percentages of votes in ahead of time.
	Montana had 50% in before the Libertarian candidate dropped out.
	Then it was a fair one-on-one race.
	And now Rosendale is beating Tester.
	So you're gonna need a big turnout in Montana if you want if you want to put a Trump supporting senator from Montana in the in the U.S. Senate.
	Same thing with Donnelly and Indiana.
	Donnelly's team is caught, you know, cheating, trying to trying to put out ads supporting, oh, vote for libertarian.
	He's the real conservative in this race.
	Because he doesn't think he can beat the Republican Mike Braun one-on-one.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's so typical.
	Look, the the the agent think to yourself, what is the what are they going to do for you?
	I mean, what is government?
	Really?
	What do we need government for?
	You know, the great Thomas Payne once wrote that government in its best form is but a necessary evil in its worst form an intolerable one.
	And, you know, we're the guides and dictates of human conscience, meaning our heart, our soul, our connection to God, irresistibly obeyed.
	There'd be no other lawgiver.
	But knowing the weakened human condition, the flawed state of human beings, governments are formed to protect that which we would otherwise protect if we were perfect people, but we're a fallen race.
	We're fallen people.
	Every human being.
	And then he goes on to talk about the formation of government.
	You know, but government is supposed to be about serving people.
	You know, why am I a conservative?
	I'm a conservative because conservatism, when applied, works.
	It's not an accident that Ronald Reagan created 21 million new jobs and gave us the longest period of peacetime economic growth.
	It's not an accident.
	This economic boom we're having under Donald Trump.
	Wasn't an accident two years into Bill Clinton's presidency when Newt got a hold of the Congress.
	Republicans for the first time in 40 years winning.
	I was there that night.
	I was emceeing that event that night.
	That all of a sudden, America moved in a much better position.
	We actually got to a balanced budget.
	And we did it using real numbers and real discipline.
	And at that point, Clinton had no choice but to go along with the new Republican Congress and the people benefited.
	That's why voting is everything.
	Day of voting.
	Soon as I'm done with the show, I'm getting out and I'm going voting.
	So don't just like everybody else.
	Well, my vote's not going to mean a whole heck of a lot, probably, but I'm voting anyway.
	I usually, I think I've missed one in my adult life.
	All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN, toll-free telephone number.
	Just to give you some idea...
	I mean, again, only one poll matters, and that's if you're going to go out and you're going to vote.
	Turnout in the New York area, I can tell you, is uh registering pretty heavy across Long Island and parts of New York.
	New Jersey getting mixed answers about New Jersey.
	Um New Jersey have just had it with Bob Menendez.
	That that number's going to be interesting.
	Bob Hugan has run a really good campaign.
	It'll be interesting to see if in fact uh there is a chance that would flip.
	That's certainly an outlier, not one you'd expect, but I mean, the people in New Jersey have done it many times.
	Christy Todd Whitman, uh, Governor Kane, uh Governor Christie, for example.
	Not exactly states that you think are going to win.
	Oh, now we have Kristen Cinema, by the way, saying she supports Trump's decision to send troops to the border.
	Yeah, that's unless she wins today.
	Then she'll change their mind, change her mind.
	Um we have literally every poll in Florida is so neck and neck.
	It's unbelievable how Florida is always like this.
	And that would mean, you know, for conservatives, you gotta really watch Southwest Florida, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Naples, very important districts.
	Lee, Collier Counties down there.
	And of course, you're looking at the panhandle.
	You wonder if there's any difficulties.
	People get into the polls in the panhandle.
	They get an extra hour to vote.
	Don't forget that.
	And uh other parts of the states, the I-4 Carter, which always plays a big part, Tampa to Orlando and and back and forth.
	That's gonna play a big role.
	One interesting thing, um, somebody where did this in the New York Post.
	They actually wrote a piece out today that it could take weeks for all the midterm ballots to be counted in California, which means it could take a long time to determine which party wins power.
	Remember, I keep warning you that these five seats in California mean everything in Southern California.
	I mean, they they're gonna play a big part in this, especially if it's close tonight.
	Um, get this.
	One you know we we love John James from Michigan.
	He cut the lead down to three.
	Ugh, in the final days.
	Makes me wonder if they've been purposefully floating those polls up to deflate turnout.
	Oh, by the way, don't think that doesn't happen.
	Uh there's been a lot of cheating and a lot of elections over the years.
	And anyway, um, all right, when we come back, we're gonna hit the phones.
	Later on, we're gonna go to Florida.
	We'll check in with Pam Bondi, the Secretary of State.
	A lot more election coverage.
	Go vote.
	Turnout is everything today.
	All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean.
	All right, let's go to uh some calls here.
	A lot of you being very patient.
	Gary is in Indianapolis, big Senate race there.
	Joe Donnelly is a Schumer Democrat down in the polls.
	Mike Braun, the only fear I have in Indiana, it's only one, is that you got a libertarian that is siphoning votes from the Republican.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm great, Sean.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	It's great to talk to you.
	Before I start, can I thank you and Linda and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for all of America for your hard work to save this country?
	Thank you.
	Well, listen, thank you, but the real truth is it's, you know, we're every single American.
	I'm being very honest here.
	We all are spokes in a wheel.
	And you need every spoke.
	You know, uh like I can only be one voting spoke today.
	Everybody else has to vote.
	And yeah, I just hope that people understand the stakes are high.
	All the things that we've been talking about, all the things that have been accomplished, where we were, and what it's gonna look like.
	You know, we know it's gonna happen.
	Listen, it's not anything we can't overcome.
	Let me be very blunt.
	We can overcome Nancy Pelosi, trust me.
	And if anything, it makes it a little more fun.
	But I'd rather have the progress and American success over the fun part of dealing with you know the Democrats melting down every day.
	Can I give you some evidence that tell you about those great spokes today?
	Yep.
	The last four days I attended uh Front Braun rally in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is now a Democrat stronghold.
	Well 12 to 15,000 people in attendance.
	It was wonderful.
	Yesterday I attended the Fort Wayne Rally.
	This is Joe Donnelly's backyard, the rally with the president, Mike Braun.
	Right.
	Over 30,000 people.
	My source is an employee at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne.
	Today I went by my church.
	It's a polling place.
	south of Indianapolis.
	Over a hundred people were standing out lo outside the church to vote.
	Many in wheelchairs.
	The movement that the president talks about like 2016 is alive.
	I think it's even greater.
	So the Americans are stepping up, they're affirming the president's agenda and supporting the Republican candidates throughout the country.
	And I hope and pray, and you have helped this.
	Well, I couldn't agree with you more.
	Um I've gotten to know the a lot of these guys.
	He seems like a rock solid.
	I don't want to go too into anybody because they can, you know, right, Linda, they can become Ben Sass on us, but uh short of that, I think.
	Are we allowed to use the the nickname or no?
	Sass the ass?
	Sass the S. Yeah.
	Well, you know what's so funny?
	Ben Sass.
	I looked the second week of his book, he sold less than three thousand.
	I told everybody it wasn't gonna sell.
	Oh, that was all a ploy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, well, no, he wanted to start a fight with me, so I would promote a stupid book.
	Right.
	That is what I mean by it was all ploy.
	Yeah.
	All right, Gary, thank you for voting in Indiana.
	We need you out there.
	Uh Eric is in Pennsylvania.
	Eric, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called, sir.
	What's going on?
	Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
	Hey, uh, I'm in the coal industry, and I just want to get everybody encourage everybody to go vote.
	I have worked 44 hours since Sunday, drove twelve hundred miles, and I'm on my way home from eastern Kentucky.
	Yes, sir.
	Washington, Pennsylvania to vote.
	Wow.
	I gotta pick up my beautiful wife, and hopefully I have time to get to the poll.
	Well, I hope you make it, especially with that drive.
	They do have something it's called an absentee ballot.
	Maybe next time you can take advantage of that instead of doing the 2400 mile round trip.
	I was supposed to be uh supposed to be off Monday, Tuesday because of the uh the voting.
	Right.
	But uh things change and uh you know you need to work.
	And uh since Trump's got in, I can tell you it's nonstop in this industry.
	I'll tell you one thing, the president didn't leave anything on the table.
	President put it all out there.
	Now he can't go campaign for all four hundred and thirty-five members of Congress.
	Um, but he went out in all these important swing states like the ones we've been talking about, Florida and Tennessee, and certainly last night in Missouri, crowd was you know pumped up and excited about getting out there to vote.
	And you know, I can feel an energy out there.
	I I hope it's it translates into the votes that take place today.
	Every state will be deceived.
	This is the thing that people forget.
	And I know a lot of you vote early, but the win comes today.
	It's all about turnout on election day still, even in states with a lot of early voting, a lot of people that mail, for example, in Montana.
	Today we'll be decided in Montana and Indianapolis and Missouri and Nevada and California and Arizona and New Jersey and West Virginia.
	It's all happening today.
	So I really admire you.
	And uh so what is specifically what do you where do you work?
	Uh I work uh the coal industry.
	I I just cover multiple states and uh this uh we have a product going on here now.
	We have to be everywhere, it seems like, and uh and that's what they're doing.
	I mean, we're we're pushing and I'm just hoping everyone that uh is just sitting at home or or worked a little, you know, eight-hour day today that says they can't get to the polls.
	You know, I'm driving 387 miles right now to try to get home in time to vote.
	And uh I just uh I just want everybody to uh your vote counts.
	It really does.
	It really does.
	And this election with this kind of turnout, I don't want to forget our friend Ted Cruz in Texas either.
	I mean, the amount of money they've thrown at this poor guy, we've never seen anything like it.
	And these are not people that really that you know, how much of you know how much outside money by these left-wing billionaire groups?
	Guess Bloomberg is one of them, George Soros is one, some guy, what's his name?
	Steyer.
	What's his name?
	Tom Steyr.
	Tom Steyr, whoever he is.
	We're all the Republican billionaires.
	Why aren't they ponying up the same amount of money?
	Republicans almost everywhere are being outspent.
	And I'll tell you though, that the president, it's not the referendum that everybody thinks.
	And I want to go back to where I started at the beginning of the show today.
	And because I know how the media is.
	Anything that is that they want.
	And you gotta remember they're invested in Trump losing.
	They want the president to lose.
	They want Pelosi to win.
	They want Schumer to win.
	They don't even really hide the fact of who they are and what they want.
	But people forget the history of midterm races.
	There is a lot of perspective here.
	I can go over every single midterm election.
	Um when one party comes to power and takes the presidency, the midterm seat loss average is 37%.
	37 rather, 30 37 seats.
	And you know, you can look at the numbers and you see them, and you say, okay, now that that makes sense.
	And you begin to understand it.
	For example, and I have not heard anybody in the media talk about this.
	You know, you start in 1994.
	You know, Bill Clinton.
	He did terribly in his first midterm.
	And he lost what, 53 net seats?
	53.
	Obama lost what, 63.
	In 2014, Obama lost another 13.
	So you know, if you want to look at somebody that had a devastating impact on the Democratic Party more than any other president in history, it's Obama.
	And it's not it's in large part because of his failed policies, and they never translated well outside of certain big blue liberal states.
	And he lost over 900 state legislative seats, 12 governorships, 69 house seats, 13 Senate seats.
	And his first midterm was by every measure an unmitigated disaster.
	And the same with Bill Clinton.
	So the media says, Well, this is a reflection on 2020.
	Well, just look at the presidencies of Obama and Clinton.
	If in fact things don't go well for Republicans tonight.
	A lot of times, too, you know, you have some bad candidates out there.
	You also have some reciprocal or residual better is a better word, anger towards Republicans because they didn't keep their promises on a lot of things.
	All right, back to our phones.
	As we say hi to uh Matt is in Virginia, a couple of key house races we're watching there, including our good friend Dave Brad is in Virginia, Barbara Comstock district in northern Virginia is a tight race all the time.
	What's going on?
	Hey, Sean, how are you today?
	Thank you so much for taking my call.
	I greatly appreciate it.
	Thank you, sir.
	Absolutely.
	So um two things real quick.
	The first one is that uh there was some information that was sent out about uh there was some problems with polling in Missouri.
	Um there were uh two lines set up for people to go in and to uh to vote, and somehow people were standing in the wrong line for hours on end and then ended up finding out that they were in the wrong line to go get a ticket.
	So that'll be interesting to see how that ends up coming out.
	Um and then the the second thing is is that um since my daughter's been born, she's five years old now.
	Every year I take her with me to go vote, and I try to make sure that every single time that I do it that I'm constantly telling her that if she wants her voice to be heard, she has to go out and vote.
	When she is of legal age, this is how you make change.
	You make change and you you support the changes that are made by going out and voting and voting for what you believe in your heart is the right decision.
	And uh so I've I've continued to do that over and over again.
	My dad taught me at a very young age, he's like, you know, you can't complain about something until after you've already done it.
	Uh so that's what I do is I go out and I make sure that I vote, and everybody please, Virginia has got to turn red.
	We've got to get this done.
	It's getting harder and harder in Virginia because all the DC bureaucrats have moved into the Northern Virginia, and it just makes it that much harder.
	Um, look, I think it's good advice.
	Let me let me give people one recommendation.
	One year I went in and I voted, and I I kind of took a shot of my ballot and I tweeted it out.
	That was dumb, apparently.
	All these people, you can go to jail for this.
	I'm like, oh, good grief.
	The best part was I think who was the famous the other famous person that did it the same year.
	Was it Beyonce?
	It was somebody, Linda.
	You remember that?
	Years ago, and I got in trouble for that.
	I gotta look at that.
	I don't remember.
	Let me look.
	You don't remember?
	Yeah, you never remember when I get in trouble.
	That would be you'd have to remember every single day.
	Well, you and I have different versions of what's considered.
	Of what trouble is that's a lot of you know, I just um it should be easy.
	We've never had two years of a transformation like this economically.
	Now I know maybe stylistically, some people don't like the president, but we look at two years, four and a half million new jobs.
	4.3 million fewer Americans on food stamps.
	Four million of our fellow Americans lifted out of poverty.
	We have a million more jobs available in this country than we actually have people uh on unemployment.
	400,000 manufacturing jobs, the jobs that Obama said they're never coming back.
	They're back.
	You know, unemployment claims a 49-year low.
	Median household income, the highest level ever recorded.
	Look at the records in 14 states demographically, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, vets, youth unemployment, all record lows.
	Record low unemployment for Americans without a high school diploma.
	You know, vets are going back to work.
	You know, we have all these people out of food stamp off of food stamps and out of poverty.
	What did I talk about in 2016?
	That's all I talked about.
	The forgotten men and women.
	It's working.
	We have the biggest tax cut in American history.
	95% of manufacturers in this country now are optimistic about the future, the highest ever.
	Retail sales have been soaring the last year.
	You know, the biggest tax package and reform package in history.
	After the tax cuts over 300 billion dollars poured back into the U.S. economy in the first quarter alone.
	4.2% GDP in the second quarter, 3.5 in the third quarter.
	It was Eric Trump.
	What's up?
	He tweeted out his ballot when he voted on election day.
	No, it was somebody else.
	Well, I'm reading the article, and I'm telling you it's Eric Trump.
	Well, he might have done it too, but I think I think anyway.
	Look, how often have I talked over the many years I've been on radio about the lifeblood of our economy, energy?
	Yeah, well, the Keystone, XL, Dakota Pipelines, Anwar, all the regulations eliminated.
	Well, now we are the biggest oil producer in the world.
	Nobody beats us.
	Obamacare, individual mandate penalty, gone.
	You know, it all how about even little things?
	Like I love the fact that the president is pardoning more people.
	I love the the fact that the president says, hey, guess what?
	You know what?
	Right to try.
	You're dying.
	You want to try a uh experimental drug to save your life.
	You have the right to try.
	I love that freedom.
	You know, opioid epidemic, border security, all of these things that we've fought for.
	We wanted that, you know, we know what the Democrats want.
	They want higher taxes, they want their crumbs back.
	They want open borders, amnesty, sanctuary cities, no wall.
	We know they want to keep Obamacare.
	Good luck with that.
	And we know they want to investigate and impeach the president.
	That's what the fight will be if they win.
	And by the way, I'm gonna come out and they don't want conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
	And we're out of the Iranian deal.
	And the U.S. Embassy is moved to Jerusalem with so many others.
	All of that.
	You know, there's a lot of success.
	And that doesn't come easy, comes through hard work.
	All right, really short time here.
	Tyler Atlanta, it's all 40 seconds of you.
	Go.
	Hi, man.
	Just want to say I love the show.
	Uh, it was Jessica Bill and Justin Timberlake.
	They were taking uh selfies and video and posting online uh when they were voting for Hillary back a couple years ago.
	Why don't I think Beyonce?
	I'll Google that in a minute.
	Um all right.
	Well, thanks for telling us, Tyler at WSB.
	We appreciate it.
	800 941 Sean.
	Uh, we're gonna go to Florida when we get back.
	All indications are Florida's tight, Georgia's tight, Missouri's tight, Indiana's tight, and Nevada's tight, and Arizona and Montana are all tight.
	That's that's the word I'm Getting on the ground from everybody.
	We'll have more information in the next hour.
	We'll have more information in the next hour.
	Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
	All right, news roundup information overloaded.
	It's election day.
	And what?
	What?
	What?
	Why are you starting in?
	Why?
	No, I just, you know, when you're right, you're right, Sean.
	So, you know, it's like Sean is right about what?
	It's like a Fox News alert.
	I need to let you know that you're right.
	I gotta tell a story.
	So last night we're in Missouri.
	Hold on, I'm still hitting the sound.
	Um, the best part is is so you people meet you last night and you start talking and they go, You're Linda.
	I know it was really funny.
	It was what are you talking about?
	How did you know it was me?
	Well, the whole thing too is that after we had the conversation about Missouri, Missoura, Missouri, Missoura, Missoura.
	There was a lot of cousin Bobby from I used to have an Aunt Elizabeth.
	She goes, Cousin Bobby from Missouri.
	Who had this?
	It's my uh it don't ask.
	It's supposed my father's sister.
	Lovely lady, really wonderful woman.
	And you know, but she was older growing up, and she always said, Missouri.
	I said, It's Missouri.
	It's Missouri.
	Don't you know not to argue with your elders, your elders are.
	No, I why do you think I became an incorrigible talk show host?
	I can't imagine why.
	Um, so much at stake.
	It is today.
	You'll tune in tonight.
	I've been warning you for weeks, watching coverage.
	Some points you'll be happy, some points you'll be sad.
	It's an emotional roller coaster, tough races in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee with Marsha Blackburn.
	Marsha Blackburn's gonna be a great senator, Tennessee.
	You won't regret that.
	Bredison, what a phony.
	Look what he thought of you.
	Look at those tapes by Project Veritas.
	Look at the tapes in Missouri about Claire McCaskill.
	You know, I um I agree with Obama 100%.
	You know, wants every doesn't tell the people of Missouri that she wants to do all these things, but she just she had a votes for everything Obama wants, nothing that Trump wants.
	But she says she's a moderate.
	You know, and then all these campaigns, Bredison, McCaskill, High Camp, um, Tester, Cinema, all these people, what do they do?
	They all are on tape lying.
	Gillam, all lying.
	Gillam had to fire that guy.
	What did he say?
	This is a cracker state.
	Guy working in the Gillam campaign.
	Like, good grief.
	Project Veritas did a lot of work.
	But here's what I've heard now as I have used the last two breaks to make a lot of phone calls, and basically every single thing that we thought coming into the election, including Texas, Ted Cruz, everything.
	Take nothing for granted today.
	All of you have time to vote.
	All of you in New Jersey have time to vote.
	West Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, Arizona.
	All of you have time to vote.
	Missouri is a day of voting state.
	You have time to vote.
	Marsha Blackburn, Florida, Texas.
	Look at poor Ted Cruz.
	Ted Cruz has been, I've never seen that much money thrown against one man in my life.
	And the voting is very high.
	We're told almost at 2016 levels.
	We expect that to continue.
	We have a lot of key toss-ups.
	All 435 house seats are in play.
	The balance of power.
	And the weirdest thing is, you know, the balance of power is gonna maybe be tipped in states that we're not paying a whole lot of attention to, but I've been talking about at length.
	You know, states like California.
	California is a big state in terms of there's five Southern California house seats that could tip the balance of power.
	Anyway, one of the states we always know is close, always tight, always tough, always difficult to read, is the great state of Florida, the Sunshine State, the attorney general from that state, Pam Bondi.
	I wanted you to run for the Senate and governor.
	Why didn't you run?
	Thank you, my incorrigible friend.
	Incorrigible.
	We've got two great candidates right now.
	We've got Rick Scott, he's gonna be our senator, and Ron State.
	Well, you really dodged that question like a like a liberal democratic senator.
	Hillary Clinton couldn't have danced around that question any better.
	Hey, we've got two great men out there, and people please, just like Sean said, this is what we've been doing all day, telling everybody get out and vote.
	If you're driving home from work now and you voted, call yourself, call your friends, call your co-workers.
	This race, Sean, I hope we're wrong, but this is gonna be a close race.
	So people, you have got to get out and vote, please.
	What did you think of the early voting numbers based on previous years?
	Well, you know, we I think we're we're doing okay.
	So far on election day, the GOP, we had a h over 156,000 people ahead.
	Ballot lead.
	So that's a plusually Republicans in Florida are behind on election day and wait make it up on election day.
	Isn't that true?
	Uh uh, you know, I can't explain Florida and Republicans, but people I think we have a lot.
	Well, we have so many great retired folks here, and people just love to vote on election day.
	I voted this morning, and there was a line out the door.
	Um I haven't voted yet.
	I'm voting right after this program.
	See, so so anybody who hasn't voted, go vote, please.
	Even if you have to wait in line, it's worth it.
	Because they did souls to the polls.
	We know that, the other side.
	We just have got to get out there, especially can I talk about Florida for 10 seconds?
	You don't just talk about it for 10 minutes.
	Whatever you want.
	Thanks.
	Okay, so we've got we've got Phil Nelson, who's been in office his entire adult life, basically, for 42 plus years, who has voted to for higher taxes over 300 times.
	Only one percent of his bills have passed, less than, I believe, and that's when he happens to show up, versus Rick Scott, who has turned our state around.
	I mean, you know, Sean, everybody wants to move to Florida.
	We have low taxes.
	We've brought in way over a million jobs with Rick as governor.
	He this man has done so much for our state.
	He works tirelessly, and he's going to do that for our country, and he's going to support President Trump.
	And that's why we have got to get him in the U.S. Pam, and I've gone through this a number of times during the program.
	I mean, there's so much success in two short years, and we had eight years of failure, and part of that failure was somebody like Bill Nelson.
	You know, I saw the president giving a speech down in Florida this weekend.
	I think you were in the crowd there, and he started saying, I've never heard from him.
	Now I could tell you how hard I know that Rick Scott worked for the people of Florida because I got to know him personally.
	I actually think he's a friend at this point because he was up in New York constantly.
	Him, Bobby Gindle, and Rick Perry, always up in New York.
	I'm like, what are you guys doing up here all the time?
	You got a girlfriend, what you know, something going on, something some is there's some scandal here.
	No, well, no, they were stealing companies from New York.
	Right.
	And they by the way, they did it successfully.
	And they were all fighting against each other to bring big business down to their states.
	And they did it because of minimal regulation, low taxes, a better better weather, a better lifestyle, and they were successful.
	They were up here all the time.
	Rick Scott was here, lived up here at times, and he was successfully bringing jobs and businesses and investment down to Florida.
	Sean, he was all over the country.
	I would tell him and say, Hey, Rick, I heard a rumor this business is looking at relocating.
	The man would be on a plane the next day meeting with the CEO saying come to Florida.
	Smart.
	I mean, and that's I mean, and Gillam wants who would want a 40% tax?
	They added up all the spending that Gillam is proposing in Medicare for all, and of course, impeaching Trump has horrible uh record on law enforcement.
	By the way, the w the single worst city, Tallahassee in terms of crime.
	Thank you very much, Andrew Gillam.
	Um, but you got all this outside money that's poured in.
	You know, the two guys that the liberal media have wanted to prop up the most are Andrew Gillam and Bozo O'Rourke in Florida and not Texas.
	Texas, yeah.
	Mm-hmm.
	That's right.
	So we've we've got Gillam, who basically And Stacey Abrams, I should say, in uh in Atlanta.
	Right.
	But the let me talk about Gillum.
	This is a guy who again, Tallahassee was a disaster.
	His opponent, okay, who worked for him, not his opponent, I'm sorry.
	The guy who's running to replace him as mayor, who used to work with Gillum, says our city's unparaphrasing and shambles our crime rates through the roof.
	You need me to fix it.
	The guy running to replace Gillum for mayor Who worked for him?
	So that's how bad he was.
	You know, versus Ron DeSantis.
	My gosh, there's no comparison.
	What was it like number one at Harvard and Yale?
	He's certainly a JAG officer.
	You know, forget that he is a war veteran.
	I mean, he has a he's a military.
	Served in Iraq.
	He fought for our country.
	He loves our country.
	He will be a great governor.
	And he's going to follow what Rick Scott has done and not raise taxes.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, he made that pledge.
	It's going to set us back years.
	I don't know how we can recover if Gillum gets elected.
	And that's why people, you've got to get out and vote.
	And for our whole Republican ticket.
	This is why Florida has been such an economic paradise for people, because of the incentive of living there.
	Like, for example, there's a two 10% New York state income tax.
	3% city tax.
	I got a county tax.
	And then I live in the second highest property property state county in America.
	Because I don't want to live in New York City.
	I mean, if I told you what I pay in taxes, you you would it it boggles your mind.
	And if I die in New York, I love when my financial guy tells me, whatever you do, don't die in New York.
	And I'm like, I'll really try and manage that.
	If I'm about to die, I'll tell you.
	Well, no, I have to be able to survive six months.
	If I have a big heart attack or get cancer, I have to live six months down in Florida in order to qualify.
	Otherwise, New York comes in and robs, they'll take the gold out of my teeth if I had any.
	I don't have any.
	Why didn't you run?
	You would have um you bet you're one of the most popular political figures in Florida.
	Why didn't you run?
	A buddy of mine Mike is asking why you should have run for one of these positions.
	You know, Adam Totnam and I work side by side for eight years together, and we had a conversation six years ago, and he wanted to run, and I told him I wouldn't run.
	And I keep my word, I'm loyal.
	And now Ron is our nominee, and I've been traveling with Ron and Casey DeSantis for the last two days, and Rudy Giuliani and Laura Trump, and we've had a great crew going top to bottom, South Florida to the panhandle.
	We've been going all over the state, and with Rick Scott, of course.
	And we've got a great ticket now.
	And that's what matters.
	And getting these two great men elected.
	Hey, I love my office.
	You know how much I love being attorney general.
	Frankly, I'm sad today because I'm I'm gonna have to leave a job that I love.
	But Ashley Moody is going to be a great attorney general, and I want her to be a better attorney general than I was, because that's what you want when you love an office.
	We've got Matt Caldwell for advocate commissioner, Jimmy Patronus, chief financial officer.
	We've got to keep the city.
	Well, let me let me let me say this.
	In the next, I guess the polls close what, at seven in Florida.
	What time do they close?
	The panhandle eight, remember because we've got an hour, yeah, honestly, and this is just the truth.
	The people that vote and go out, especially Southwest Florida, the I5 I-4 corridor, yes, the panhandle, the villages.
	I know those it's it's cocktail hour down there now.
	Everybody down there needs to go vote.
	Because this is where this election is gonna be won in the next two hours.
	This is it.
	That's right.
	It will win or loss.
	It will be.
	It will be.
	And the people uh can't take anything for granted.
	You know, folks at the villages, we love you, get out and vote.
	I know they do, though.
	Sun City Center, um, this is all I-4 corridor.
	Everybody, and these are folks that love to vote on election day, get out and vote because the other side, they're voting.
	All right, Pam Bondi.
	I gotta let you go, but uh Secretary of State, Florida, Pam Bondi.
	When we come back, we'll take a lot of calls, closing arguments.
	It's election day.
	We the people, you the people still have the power.
	Every state is open.
	The polls are open, shock the world.
	We get the government we deserve, whatever it happens to be.
	And as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SEAN.
	Toll-free telephone number you want to be.
	A part of uh the program.
	Look, all these Senate races are gonna matter.
	I mean, I want to go over some of the history of what I was talking about before.
	Um, because history really matters, especially when you're talking about you know, midterm elections, and it it's kind of hard to understand and wrap your your arms around.
	In 21 midterm elections held since 1934, only twice has the president's party gained seats in the House and the Senate.
	FDR's first midterm election and George W. Bush's first midterm.
	That was right after 9 11.
	Three other occasions, president's party gained houses in the House once it was a draw.
	One occasion only the president's party gained seats in the Senate.
	You realize if the president gains seats in the Senate would only be the second time in since 1934.
	You know, if you go to 21, you know, Democrats, this is the first midterm of Obama.
	They lost 69 seats.
	63 in the House, six in the Senate.
	That's Obama's first midterm.
	Well, Obama was president.
	And right after, of course, the health care bill.
	If you go to 94, this is Bill Clinton's first midterm, Democrats lost 60 seats, 52 in the House, eight in the Senate.
	Bill Clinton, both Clinton and Obama went on to run re-election fairly easily just two years later.
	I don't know why the history is that way.
	In some ways, it makes sense.
	Maybe it's always a, you know, the party that's pushing driving the agenda, you know, and and all the negative pushback, especially that it's been against Trump.
	It's been, you know, fairly remarkable.
	But, you know, that history is that history.
	Anyway, the push for the Senate is where it really is tonight.
	I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats took the House.
	Um that's why voting in Florida, Tennessee, and North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Missouri, very important, Nevada, Arizona, all matters.
	Even New Jersey and West Virginia.
	Uh, we'll get to more of that information when we get back.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
	It's election day.
	Every state in play.
	I'm getting uh some data now in all of these breaks as uh we come back from break.
	Listen, Florida is as tight as it can be, I am being told.
	It could go either way.
	The panhandle, Southwest Florida are crucial, unless you want Andrew Gillam and the do nothing Bill Nelson back in the Senate.
	Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, get out and vote.
	Missouri, day of state.
	Everybody, it's all about today.
	If you want Josh Hawley to win that race, which he should win against Claire McCaskill is just pretending the last two weeks to be a moderate when she's anything but.
	If you look at the state of Nevada, so important, Dean Heller get reelected in Nevada.
	Then you've got, you know, War Hero, Martha McSally going up against the single most radical leftist on any ballot this year.
	Oh, it's fine to join the Taliban, Kristen Cinema.
	Going into today, cinema had a lead.
	So day of voting means everything now in Arizona.
	Montana is totally in play now that the Libertarian is dropped out.
	John Tester last poll is down by three to Rosendale, but about half the votes were in before the Libertarian dropped out, which means that you need a lot of day of voting.
	And the same would go for don't take North Dakota for granted either.
	Where Heidi Heitkamp, remember, you know, just a full-on total Chuck Schumer Democrats they are.
	Joe Donnelly, if you're in Indiana, don't fall for his trick.
	He's urging people to vote libertarian because he knows he can't win straight up against a Republican.
	In that case, Mike Braun would be a great senator.
	Then you got West Virginia and even New Jersey, day of voting.
	All day of voting in New Jersey, and Bob Menendez, one of the most corrupt senators in Washington.
	Anyway, Lindsey Graham, the great senator from uh South Carolina is with us.
	Uh, how are you?
	You know, what kind of um information?
	You've been all over the country in the last couple of weeks.
	What kind of information are you getting from the states you're talking to?
	Uh very good.
	Uh 14 states in 10 days.
	Number one, the president spent all the time.
	By the way, you sound like Trump.
	You sound I don't think you have as nice a point.
	No, I don't, and I didn't do as much as long as he did, but no president, and probably the history of the Republican Party, the country's done more to help in the midterms.
	I was with the vice president yesterday.
	So there's three sets of threes.
	If you haven't voted in the states that you just Talked about, you better go vote.
	If you're Republican and you're not voting based on Kavanaugh, the caravan and this economy, you're legally dead.
	So go out and vote.
	Uh so here are three sets of threes.
	Tennessee, Nevada, and Arizona.
	I am highly confident Tennessee uh we're gonna win.
	I think big.
	Heller's got the best operation of anybody I've seen out west.
	McSally's in a dog fight, it's the fighter pilot versus the uh you know.
	The pink two sympathizer.
	No, yes.
	By the way, who how do you get away with saying not and by the this weekend she had an opportunity to correct herself and apologize, just like she did in one of the debates.
	How does Kristen Cinema get away with saying the people of Alabama um Alabama, Arizona are crazy?
	The people of Alabama, it's a meth lab of democracy.
	They're crazy in a Lindsay Lohan way.
	She wears a pink tutu while Martha McSally's flying, you know, bomber bombing flights over Afghanistan.
	And then she says it's okay for Americans to join our enemy, the Taliban after 9-11.
	Well, it shows you high in the tank the media in Arizona is for cinema.
	None of this is really, you know, in the urned media.
	We had to report it ourselves, thank God for talk radio and and McSally's campaign.
	So I'm just gonna get to the bottom line.
	I think it's a big night for Republicans in the Senate.
	I think we pick up three, three to five seats.
	I really believe that.
	I think we're gonna win Missouri, Indiana, and North Dakota.
	I think Rick Scott, you know, I know what you're saying about being close.
	I have utmost confidence in him.
	So I'm saying uh uh three to five at the minimum, three to five.
	All right.
	So you we broke it into threes.
	Do your threes again.
	Let me explain.
	All right.
	So all right, just remember this.
	So you got Tennessee, uh, Arizona, and Nevada.
	What do they have in common?
	They're all Republican held states.
	Those are hold seats.
	We have to hold that.
	Right.
	Let's just say, you know, I think we're gonna win them all.
	Let's say you win two of the three.
	That takes you to 50.
	Then you got Missouri, Nevada, Indiana, Trump won big, great candidates on our side.
	I think we sweep those three, that takes you to 53.
	The next three are Montana, Florida, and West Virginia.
	Trump is one big in all those three states, uh, two of the three states.
	Rick Scott's won twice as governor.
	Even if you did one of the three, that takes you to 54.
	We're gonna win Texas.
	I'm feeling good about it.
	Just remember those three sets of threes.
	You know, um look, people don't understand here.
	Why do you think it is?
	And I've been going through the history of this.
	If you go back to 2010, this is the first midterm of Obama, Democrats lost 69 seats.
	63 in the House, six in the Senate.
	Right.
	If you go back when Bill Clinton was president, it was an another disaster for the for the Democrats, and that was 1994.
	And in that year, what we had uh what, 52 seats.
	The Bill the Democrats lost 62 60 seats, 52 in the House, eight in the Senate.
	So that's when I came in.
	There's only two times.
	Do you realize this?
	That Republicans actually one time that Republicans have actually a president's party has gained a seat in the Senate.
	Only one other time since 1934.
	This would be the second time.
	Well, a lot of it's to do with President Trump.
	Two-thirds of the people voting in the exit poll said it was about President Trump.
	The economy is good, jobs are growing, wages are growing, we're safer.
	Okay.
	Why would people want to stop that?
	In 2010, the unemployment rate was over 10%.
	The Republicans had a wipeout year, Obama got you know shellacked as he said.
	The economy was bad.
	We were going nowhere quick, Obamacare, the stimulus package, Dodd Frank.
	Look at 2018, two years into the Trump presidency.
	Historically low unemployment, jobs are growing at a very fast pace, GDP is beyond what anybody believed, and we're safer.
	So here's why I think we're going to do well.
	You'd have to be sort of crazy to want to go backward.
	But you know, you say that, but there is an ebb and float of political cycles.
	Uh you know, I actually went back and I looked at all of the midterms that have ever happened in this country.
	I could take you back to 34 and I go there.
	Uh Franklin Delano Roosevelt did well.
	But you move further up, and uh you gotta look at, for example, Clinton.
	He lost 52 House seats, eight Senate seats, and then Obama, sixty-three House seats and six Senate seats.
	That's seven that's sixty-nine.
	And I'm thinking you're telling me we have a chance to pick up seats in the Senate.
	The House is, you know, five.
	I don't know what your prediction is on the House.
	I can't read it.
	Well, well, let me tell you what I think is gonna happen to House.
	What's the difference between ninety-four?
	We had a big Republican wave.
	Clinton was a very bad president in his first two years.
	We made him a better president after we got got control of the House removed.
	Yeah.
	Well, and and and Obama was a disaster.
	Dodd Frank, Obamacare, and the st uh the stimulus that you didn't even get a t-shirt for were his first two years.
	Look at the unemployment rates, and just look where we are today.
	So the House.
	The problem we have is that 44 Republicans retired.
	This is the biggest problem we have is we got so many open seats from retirement.
	If half of those people had stayed in their job, we would keep the House.
	But we do have a lot of open seats.
	Suburban areas have kind of gone the other way.
	I think we're gonna surprise people.
	I don't know what it's gonna be like in the House, but the better we do in the Senate.
	If we have 54 senators, which I think we will, the losses in the House are gonna be a lot less than what people predicted, and we might actually hold on to it.
	That's pretty amazing.
	Look, I don't know what's gonna happen tonight.
	I don't have a crystal ball.
	I will say this.
	I don't either.
	I've gotten um look at where we are.
	Four and a half million new jobs, four point three fewer uh million Americans on food stamps, four million Americans out of poverty, those manufacturing jobs over four hundred thousand, unemployment 49 year low, record low unemployment for Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, our vets, uh youth unemployment, median income is all-time records, four point two percent GDP, three point five percent third quarter GDP.
	I mean, and and by the way, the president keeps promises slashing regulations.
	ISIS ICE is uh IC is uh just about destroyed, right?
	Pretty much.
	That's what we gotta keep reading.
	I hope, I hope to for goodness sake it is.
	Iran deal, we got out of it.
	You know, we're breaking Iran's back.
	The problem is that most people don't know everything you just said.
	You have to actually literally listen to your show to get this.
	Because if you want the media to tell you this on the other side, they'll never tell you.
	No, they are fake news.
	I say it every day.
	It's it's actually sad.
	They they're not only fake news.
	I don't know if you've watched any of these other channels in the last week.
	They've gone insane.
	They literally racist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, racist, you know.
	And it's like they're the way, Lindsey Graham.
	Uh now you're up in 20, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And uh, I want to be chairman of the judiciary committee.
	If if Senator Grassley moves over, he's done a great job.
	Just this.
	Let's just think we pick up a couple of Senate seats.
	We're at 54 or 55, like I think we'll be.
	That means that there's gonna be more conservative judges.
	We can miss a one or two votes and still get somebody confirmed.
	The biggest winner of a Senate majority, Republican majority growing, will be the judiciary.
	That would be a huge deal.
	If I'm chairman of the judiciary committee, we're gonna keep you know, confirming judges, we're gonna look at the FBI, we're gonna look at DOJ in terms of what they did in the 20 2016 election.
	You know, Mueller's doing his thing, somebody's gonna look at the FBI and DOJ.
	We got a real opportunity here if we can keep our majority to set the table for 2020.
	Uh well said, and we saw what they did to Brent Kavanaugh.
	Honestly, he wouldn't have gotten through but for your moment where you just had had it and you just laid it out.
	And that was a powerful moment for you, and thank goodness you did what you did.
	Uh Lindsay Graham, South Carolina.
	That was great.
	You know, there's a steakhouse down there.
	I was down there once at Hall's Steakhouse.
	Yes, it's awesome.
	Oh, people are amazing.
	I was in Cape Girardeau last night.
	The people, you know, the people of this country are amazing.
	I know you just got back, you were on tour, and I've been on all around the country.
	The people that they're so wonderful, the people in this country.
	Yeah.
	And they deserve better government like they're getting now.
	They deserve success.
	They deserve opportunity.
	It's working.
	Keep it going and uh I'll talk to you later.
	Thanks.
	All right, Lindsay Graham, thanks for being with us.
	800 941 Sean.
	Look, every one of you has the opportunity still to vote.
	Everybody that I've talked to, I've in the course of these three hours, I have talked to people in every key state.
	Every member of Congress, that race matters.
	Democrats, I have friends in newsrooms.
	They're they're they're preparing the time that they can tell you tonight that Nancy Pelosi is speaker.
	That is the absolute truth.
	You know, some of these liberal news networks.
	I have spies.
	They are preparing to announce she's speaker.
	And I asked, Well, do you have any exit poll data?
	No, they're just assuming that the polls are right.
	So we don't know.
	Two years ago, you shocked the world.
	And as a result, we have now taken this country from a horrible trajectory.
	13 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, homeownership rate lowest in 51 years, worst recovery since the 40s, more debt than every other president before him combined.
	Never a year, only president history, no three, no, never to reach 3% GDP growth in a single year.
	In less than two years.
	Maybe you don't like Trump's style, but his policies of cutting regulation, red tape, burdensome regulation for business, fighting to get businesses back, new trade deals with Europe and with Canada and with Mexico.
	What is it resulted?
	Four and a half million new jobs, 4.3 million fewer Americans on food stamps, 4 million Americans lifted out of poverty.
	Manufacturing jobs came back, 400,000.
	Unemployment, 49 year low.
	Record low unemployment, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans.
	You know, historically low unemployment for women in the workplace, vets, youth unemployment, median income record highs, 4.2% GDP growth in the second quarter, 3.5 in the third quarter.
	This is the president splashing regulations and keeping promises.
	The biggest tax cut in history.
	You know, opened up energy, Keystone, Excel, Pipeline, Dakota Access Pipeline, ANWAR, save the coal industry.
	You know, new trade deals, NAFTA, get us out of job killing Paris Accord.
	You know, never mind what he's done with ISIS and with the one-sided nuclear deal with Iran, and we're not dropping cash on their on their tarmac, or what we did with little Rocket Man.
	No more rockets being fired over Japan.
	All of you hearing my voice now have the ability to get up, get out, and vote.
	You have time.
	I'm about to finish this radio show in 11 minutes, and my next stop will be to vote.
	As many of you are.
	We'll talk about the results tomorrow.
	We'll get the government we deserve.
	We can handle anything.
	Yes, Linda.
	Ron DeSantis has decided to call us in because the panhandle is so important.
	We got a couple minutes.
	How are you?
	Ron DeSantis.
	Yes, sir.
	We need you in Florida.
	How's it going today?
	What are you looking at?
	Good.
	I'll tell you what.
	Um, you know, we started today from the early in absentee vote, 80,000 uh Republican ballots ahead of where President Trump started when he won Florida, and we are seeing huge Republican turnout.
	I would just say anybody listening, get to vote before 7 o'clock because you can help power a real red wave in Florida that will bring me as governor and we'll bring Rick Scott to the U.S. Senate.
	So we are really, really liking what we've seen.
	How's the panhandle in southwest Florida turnout?
	Sean, Southwest Florida is just totally off the hook.
	I mean, I I it's a presidential level Republican turnout.
	Wow in Collier and Lee County.
	I mean, part of that is um, you know, the president did an event there recently, uh, I think helped, and then the panhandle, um, as of like three o'clock uh today, Bay County, which was the county most affected by Hurricane Michael, they had already exceeded the total votes cast in all of the 2014 election.
	So they're gonna have record midterm turnout.
	These are people who've had to deal with all this storm and yet they want to vote, and these are Republican voters who are coming out.
	We're gonna have a historic midterm turnout.
	I think we may have over eight million votes when all is said and done.
	It's gonna be slightly below the presidential turnout, but it's gonna be way higher.
	Yeah.
	So anyone that's still out there, get there because your vote's gonna matter.
	And this is a really, really big deal.
	Remember the panhandle, if I'm not mistaken, the polls closed there an hour later at eight, correct?
	That's right.
	So if you're in the east, Eastern, everywhere else outside the panhandle, you got an hour and 10 minutes.
	Just get to the polling place.
	You're there in line.
	If you're there in line at 659, you're giving you can you double yeah, you get to vote.
	And then the panhandle, obviously, that's the same thing 659 central time.
	So you have uh two more hours, two hours and ten minutes.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So it works, but we like what we're seeing.
	And um, look, this is gonna be a good success story, Sean.
	You ticked off everything, and what it's showing is even though the Democrats are charged, and even though they turn down a lot more people, partially because they're upset at the president, voters appreciate the direction Florida and the country's going, and they're responding to that.
	And I think it's a really, really it could be a great story, you know, if we're able to bring home.
	I saw tonight.
	I think we will.
	I saw the liberal media go so all in on your uh uh opponent, Gillam, even with the corruption, even with his police comments, even with his plan for 40% business tax, and that would probably lead to a state income tax.
	And here you are, you know, Harvard, Yale.
	You served in Iraq, Jag Officer.
	How many years did you serve?
	Five years active duty and then reserves since then.
	Yeah, and uh it's amazing because you know, you're right.
	Governor Scott did a great job.
	I think he'll make a great senator if he can pull this off against Bill Nelson.
	And similarly, Florida, I hate to I shudder at the thought of a 40% state income tax uh business income tax down there.
	Oh, yeah, and he would he he wants a state income tax.
	He's not willing to admit that, but that's what he wants.
	He's a Bernie Sanders guy, and once we do that, Florida's done.
	Um, guys like you aren't gonna want to ever move down here.
	I mean, you know, it's totally ruined the state.
	Exactly.
	So I have 40% business tax, I'm done.
	I'm out.
	And when I once once we once we bring this home tonight with the help of your listeners, um, and I get in as governor, we'll make sure that the next time Sean Hannity is voting, it's gonna be down in Naples, Florida, rather than in New York.
	So your vote will actually matter.
	Listen, I'm going to vote anyway.
	I'm doing it.
	I can't tell people to go vote and stay home and put my feet up and you know, drink a beer and watch the coverage.
	I never work on election night, but um it's just a tradition of mine to just look at returns.
	I'll be looking heavily at uh the panhandle, Southwest Florida, so important.
	The I-4 card are so important.
	And uh, well, I just want to thank you, Ron DeSantis.
	Good luck.
	Looking forward to you and and uh Rick Scott winning tonight.
	That would be awesome.
	If you pull that off, that's gonna be awesome.
	That's gonna be a good thing.
	Thanks for all your help, Sean.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Take care.
	All right, my friend.
	Thank you.
	800-941 Sean.
	Look, everybody's got time.
	Everything's made.
	Everything is, you know, there's um I will tell you, there is a chance.
	Now it's I guess it goes against all what the prognosticators and experts and pundits say that the world could be shocked again tonight.
	And there's so many ways to define victory tonight.
	But I will tell you, if the Republicans hold the Senate and pick up seats, that is a massive win.
	It will only be the second time that's happened since 1934.
	The states that matter the most right now, they all matter.
	Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, also Arizona, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana.
	We need you, Indiana.
	Bad.
	We need you, Missouri, really bad.
	Really, really bad.
	You know, then we've got West Virginia, maybe even New Jersey, day of voting.
	Day of voting in Missouri, turnout is everything in Missouri today.
	And so many of these other states.
	Look, there's a lot at stake.
	We're Americans, we're tough, we'll survive anything.
	But wouldn't it be more fun to survive winning?
	I'm not sick of winning yet.
	I think we've got a lot more to do.
	I love that we I love to see all these Americans, millions of jobs, millions out of poverty, millions off of food stamps.
	Energy independence is the future.
	We're now the biggest producer of energy on the planet, thanks to the president deregulation, and we have all these manufacturing jobs coming back.
	I look abroad and I see, yeah, ISIS defeated, and Jerusalem is the capital.
	Promises that so many other presidents made, couldn't keep.
	I look at what's happened with North Korea, little Rocket Man, Fire and Fury, and now he's sending back remains of Americans from the 50s, hostages.
	He's knocking down, you know, some of the plants where he's using to build nuclear weapons and talking about denuclearization.
	The Iranians now have the toughest sanctions ever.
	New trade deals.
	NATO's paying more of their fair share.
	We got a lot done in two years.
	Let's not go back.
	Are you better off than you were two years ago?
	That is what today is to me.
	Are we better off than we were two years ago?
	Well, this is the day we wait for.
	This is game time.
	Every state, you still have time to vote.
	God bless you.
	We'll talk about the results tomorrow.
	I'll be watching it with you as well.
	I never work on election night.
	Thank God.
	I put it on my contract.
	All right.
	Have a great night.
	Quick break.
	Right back.
	We'll continue.
	Oh, actually, I'm out of time.
	All right.
	Have an awesome election night.

	We'll square it all out for you tomorrow.
