Robert Cahaly, Trafalgar Group chief pollster, predicted a win for Trump in 2016, when everyone else said no, and he is again predicting a win for the 45. He believes that there is hidden support for President Trump and that the Democrats are underestimating the American people and their feelings that many have for the President. They know that year 48 will be no different than the first 47 for Biden, why should he get the highest seat in our nation?The Sean Hannity Show is on weekdays from 3 pm to 6 pm ET on iHeartRadio and Hannity.com.

You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz 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, Claude, you're with us.
13 days.
You are the ultimate jury headed towards our 10-day countdown, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
It is stunning to me that Joe Biden, I still cannot get over this guy, put a lid on his campaign half the month of September.
That means 9, 9.30, 10 o'clock.
They send out to the media, you will not be hearing from Joe Biden for the rest of the day.
Takes off Saturday, one event on Sunday, but he took a break.
He got milkshakes while he was out.
One vanilla and one chocolate.
Such vital information we all need to know.
And he's off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
It's 13 days to election day.
The most astounding part of this to me is this is a decision that a presidential campaign has had to make.
And they have determined it is in their best interests that Joe Biden remain in hiding than to go out to all of the swing states and try and appeal to every voter possible why he should be elected president.
And it's not even being questioned by the media mob.
There's something radically wrong if a campaign decides that it's better to hide the candidate and keep him buried in a bunker for the entire campaign.
Because that was pretty much the whole spring and summer.
And it was, you know, half the month of September.
And now it's even October and it's 13 days out.
He's still in hiding.
Now, what do they, there's something going on.
They must have calculated that the risk of Joe going out and the world seeing that which they must be seeing on their own would be too devastating to their campaign and their chances of winning a presidential election.
It ought to be the biggest red flag.
The mob, the media, well, they ought to be asking the question themselves if they had any intellectual honesty or intellectual curiosity, but we are talking about a corrupt media here.
You know, it doesn't matter.
You know, it's amazing to me.
Joe Biden, it was just like during the impeachment, when it was all we heard was, what did President Trump say in the phone call with President Zelensky?
You know, he said, okay, well, I want to make sure, you know, it looks like you're hanging out with some of the bad people in the previous administration.
That's not good.
We can't have that.
And he's saying that to President Zelensky.
Didn't demand anything, didn't ask for anything.
You get to the impeachment side.
We have all these witnesses, hearsay witnesses and opinion witnesses.
You have one fact witness, one fact witness.
That was it.
What did the president say?
He wanted nothing.
He did not want to quid pro quo.
That's what the president said.
He just wanted them to be honorable.
Okay, well, we're giving money to a country.
You want them to be honorable.
And the same Democrats were willing to just, and the same mob in the media, I guess we can now add big tech companies to this equation as well.
They're now out there and they're literally saying at the time, Joe said, no credible person would even suggest such a thing when Joe is on tape.
You're not, I'm leaving in six hours.
You're not getting a billion dollars of loan guarantees unless you fire the prosecutor.
His name is Victor Shokin.
He has a name.
He didn't mention it.
Unless you fire that prosecutor.
You got six hours.
Who's the prosecutor?
Victor Shokin.
What's Victor Shookin?
Why does he want Victor Shokin fired?
Because he's investigating his son, Hunter, who has zero experience in oil, gas, energy, and Ukraine that's still being paid millions of dollars.
And the media bought it.
The media didn't care about their breathtaking hypocrisy.
The Democrats didn't care about the real quid and pro and quo.
They don't care about truth anymore.
As long as you can bludgeon Trump, it's fair game, even though there was no quid pro quo.
And they'll drag the country through impeachment hell just because they hate Donald Trump.
It was the same thing with Russia.
It took us over three years to get to the bottom of this phony Trump-Russia collusion story.
And what do we end up with?
We end up with a manufactured lie by Hillary Clinton that even the CIA warned Barack Obama about as a matter of Hillary trying to deflect away from the Espionage Act violation of hers and her email server that did have top secret classified information on it,
which violates the law, 18 USC 793, and the fact that she took subpoenaed emails and erased them.
And she took her hard drive and she cleaned it with bleach bit and she busted up devices with hammers and took SIM cards.
I mean, Democrat, they care about that?
No.
She funnels money to a law firm, Perkins Cooey.
They hire an op research firm, Fusion GPS.
They hire a former MI6 guy, Christopher Steele.
Christopher Steele has as his sub-source somebody that the FBI had known for 10 years to be a Russian agent of some kind.
I don't even know the guy's name.
And that person, when they interviewed that person in January 2017, a known Russian contact, for a decade, they've known it.
He said, no, there's no truth to any of the stuff in the Steele's dossier.
It's all bar talk.
But they kept going anyway.
And they used the dirty dossier with Russian misinformation to then spy on Trump's campaign, his transition team, and his presidency.
Democrats didn't care about Russian interference.
They didn't care when Adam, the compromised corrupt, congenital liars on tape, you know, talking to somebody that he thinks is a Russian and saying, well, you know, what is the nature of the compromise?
We're compromising on Matia deals.
What's the compromise?
Pixis naked Trump, naked Buseva to give to, does Vladimir Putin know?
Yeah, Buseva tells so-and-so that tells Vladimir Putin he knows about Pixis naked Trump compromising material.
He's colluding with the Russians.
It's not truth that matters here.
So when I'm talking about big institutions, the Democratic Party, the Democratic Radical Socialist Party, they will take on breathtaking lies, a breathtaking double standard, you know, raw, obvious hypocrisy just for their own political ambition.
And they've got their trusted allies in the media mob that will absorb the lies, advance the lies, advance the libel, advance the smears, advance the slander, besmirchment, and libel to advance.
It's not a matter of truth for anybody here.
That's why journalism, it's dead.
It is dead.
They hate Donald Trump.
They're protecting.
Joe Biden is in the media mob, Democratic Party, big tech company protection program so that he can hide out pretty much every other day at least and not have to face the press so he can make one of his dumb errors and barely coherently string two sentences together.
And they don't care if they're going to, if America elects a weak, frail, cognitively compromised Democratic socialist, what do they care?
You know, he'll just be sitting there.
Okay, what day of the week is it?
Where do I sign?
What am I signing?
Okay.
It's pretty dangerous when you think of it.
But it is what it is.
And, you know, I don't know what to tell you.
We have a lot coming up on the program today.
A new video from Project Veritas, Bill O'Reilly today.
You'll meet this guy.
He's a really interesting guy.
His name is Robert Cahaley from the Trafalgar Group.
And we got some great poll numbers that he's put out there.
And, you know, I do believe that, you know, as you even see, the media is now trying to adjust their polling to show it's closer and closer as we get closer to election day because they don't want to be viewed as being that wrong as they have been in 2016 and other times.
What we see, if you look at real clear politics, if you look at the average numbers here, Hillary had at this point in the campaign an even bigger edge than Biden in several key states that would include Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Trump carried all three of them.
This guy that you'll meet later in the program, Robert Cahaley, predicted the president in 2016 would win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
He's, you know, 13 days before the election.
Biden has an average lead of 3.9 in the six battle states of Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Arizona.
Hillary had a 4.4% lead in those states at this very same juncture.
But I will say this and take this and let this sink in how close this is.
If the Tafalgar group is right as they were in 2016, and I'm dubious of all polling, I just don't think you can poll Donald Trump like any conventional politician.
I stand by that.
But anyway, the Trafalgar group now has Wisconsin, Biden 47, Trump 46.
Why would anyone in Pennsylvania vote for Biden when he and Kamala Harris, no, we're not going to get rid of fracking when they've been saying all through the primary they're going to get rid of fracking?
Ohio, Trafalgar has Trump at 47, Biden 43.
North Carolina tighter than I would like.
Trump 47, Biden 46.
The one surprise on the map was Minnesota with Biden 46 and Trump 46.
Georgia, 49-43 for Trump, although some polls like the AJC and others had Trump down in Georgia.
I don't think the president will lose Georgia, but you got to, you know, you got to look at it.
You got to pay attention to it.
But just look, it doesn't matter.
It's what do you want?
What country do you want?
Because everything is on the ballot here.
Law, order, safety, security, higher taxes, lower taxes, more bureaucracy, less bureaucracy.
Activist justices packing the court, DC Puerto Rico statehood, amnesty, open borders, energy independence or dependence, new Green Deal wasting trillions of our dollars, destroying the economy, you know, weak foreign policy.
It's all on the ballot.
And if these power grabs, in particular, ending the legislative filibusters and packing the court and, you know, adding two, three states to the union so they get six additional Democratic Senate seats.
So there is a Democratic Senate majority in perpetuity, amnesty, 15 million Americans in the hopes that, well, if we give you something of value, I'm sure you'll continue to vote for us, right?
I don't know how we recover when you take capitalism and turn it on its head the way they're talking about with everything's free and 62 cents of every dollar.
If you're defined as rich by Biden and Kamala Harris, is going to go just to the federal government and forget your property taxes, forget your state income taxes, forget your sales taxes, forget your hidden taxes.
You know, you'll be keeping 15 cents of every dollar as part of everything's free, free, free for everybody, because that's where they're headed.
But in the process, you destroy something called capitalism, free markets, the greatest wealth-producing system of governance that the world has ever seen.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
All right, Clint, you're with us, and there's a lot at stake, 13 days to go, and you are the ultimate jury.
How do you feel about that?
I do like the fact that ultimately you are going to be the person that is going to make the decision.
It's not going to be big tech companies.
It's not going to be Facebook.
It's not going to be Twitter.
It's not going to be Google as much and as hard as they try to prevent you from getting information.
The American people have figured it out.
The mob, the media are abusively biased, corrupt, and one-sided.
And I think they've learned an awful lot about Joe Biden, too.
It just, one thing that infuriates me, I hate being lied to.
Joe Biden going out there.
There's no legitimacy to the claim that Hunter profited off the family name.
This is a desperate campaign to smear me and my family.
Okay.
That is an outright lie.
For those of you that have kids, all right, all kids get in trouble, right?
My kids, nobody's perfect.
You know, I would tell my kids all the time, stop insulting my intelligence when they would lie to me.
They'd get in a lot more trouble.
It wasn't usually what they did, but if they came to me, they lied to me, and I'd be like, All right, what do you think?
I'm stupid.
Of course, I know you did it.
And they say, No, I swear I didn't do anything.
I did nothing wrong, nothing.
Okay, you're insulting my intelligence.
Kids aren't even good at lying.
But they would try.
We're supposed to believe that zero experience Hunter admits he has no experience in Ukraine, oil, gas, energy, but makes millions of dollars.
He's not profiting off the family name or a Russian oligarch, $3.5 million in a wire transfer in a business deal, just like a Kazakh oligarch with a wire transfer to the Hunter Biden business endeavor.
That they're not profiting off the Biden name.
We're all supposed to believe this.
The $100,000 shopping spree with a Chinese national, we're supposed to believe they're not profiting off the family name or the $1.5 billion deal with the Bank of China with no known experience in private equity.
And we're supposed to believe they're not profiting off the family name.
How outrageous of people to even bring this up.
It is so unfair.
I mean, they're lying to you.
The mob in the media is protecting the Bidens.
They have an agenda.
They want Trump defeated and they want Biden to be the weak, frail, cognitively struggling half a corpse they want to be president.
And this is their biggest donation.
And they'll just, you know, and big tech is all in for all things radical socialist Biden as well.
It's insulting to our intelligence.
I love Obama's comments in a tweeted video, you know, telling young voters that their generation could be the one that creates a new normal in America, you know, in a push for Joe Biden.
What's the new normal?
Socialism?
That you're going to get, let's see, free pre-K through college education, free student loan forgiveness, free guaranteed government job, free guaranteed government wage, free guaranteed vacations by government, free government guaranteed healthy food, free health care, and free retirement.
Everything's free.
You know, 50 Cent, I think, said it pretty well.
Once he hears that 62% of his income is going to Joe Biden.
I'm not supporting that crap.
What it is, if you really want to say it, socialism, redistributionism, stateism, the biggest power grab associated with state-ism, adding additional Senate seats by adding states to the union, packing the courts so that the courts will back up anything they want done that they can't get done legislatively or done by appealing to voters at the voting booth.
That'll be your new normal where capitalism is demonized, where the new Green Deal runs the day, where we'll eliminate our independence.
We finally got energy independent.
We'll give that up.
We'll raise taxes through the roof.
And by the way, when they say they're going to raise taxes on corporations, corporations don't pay taxes.
They pass that on to us.
We pay the higher taxes.
You know, how did Biden and Obama do with their own program?
Pretty lousy.
Pretty lousy.
Eight years, 13 more million Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, worst recovery since the 40s.
You want that?
Because now you're going to get Obama on steroids.
AOC, they're talking about trillions in the new Green Deal, retrofitting homes and buildings.
Who's going to pay for all this?
Unbelievable.
All of it is in play.
All of it is at stake.
You know, the president in Pennsylvania was right last night.
This will destroy liberty, freedom, and the American dream.
All of the, my book, Live Free or Die, did a whole chapter.
Socialism, its history of failure, whatever name it's taken on, whatever form it's given, it always promises everything and then some.
Everything's going to be free.
And it's going to be the people versus the elite few.
I never got a job from a poor person my entire life.
And then what happens?
The promises are never fulfilled.
And it ultimately always ends in more poverty and more misery.
And then it's a matter of how much of your freedom you've actually given away in the process.
And you couple this with the power grab and the court packing and the additional Democratic senators and amnesty for 15 million Americans and the hopes they'll forever vote Democrat.
I don't know how you come back from that.
When and where do you elect a Republican after that?
You know, I thought it was great.
The president actually played a clip.
He brought a jumbo trauma, I guess, to the rally in Erie, Pennsylvania last night.
And the crowd going wild playing Joe Biden's flipping, flopping, flailing on fracking.
He also does the same thing on taxes.
He does the same thing every other day.
He's changing his mind on mask mandates and vaccine mandates.
Half the time, he doesn't even know what day of the week it is, what office he's running for, what state he's in.
That doesn't seem to matter.
The media, you know, aiding and abetting Joe Biden hiding like this is this has never happened in the history of presidential politics.
And the mob and the media, they're perfectly fine with it.
They're aiding and abetting and contributing to all things Biden.
President playing a, let's play the, let's play the flip-flop on fracking.
So everybody, you know, everybody in Pennsylvania, this will destroy Pennsylvania's economy when they eliminate fracking.
Listen.
I am not banning fracking.
Let me say that again.
I am not banning fracking.
No more, no new fracking.
Any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a Biden administration?
No, we would work it out.
We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those.
What part of the word eliminated don't people understand?
Kamala Harris, same thing.
It's the same thing.
Which Joe Biden are you going to believe on what given day?
Is he even going to remember from one day to the next?
You think that AOC and the squad that will really be in control and that will have the greatest influence on a Biden presidency?
You think he's going to get away with not banning fracking?
Good luck with that because it's just not true.
You know, the president citing a report on Biden's tax policy.
I mean, it is going to drag this economy.
This is not hard to figure out.
We're on the verge.
You're going to hear next week we will get third quarter real GDP numbers.
We expect it to be above 30%.
I mean, which would be a testament to one of the greatest economic comebacks after the shutdown of the American economy ever in history.
We're seeing it in the early housing numbers that are coming out for the third quarter.
I have a buddy of mine was telling me, you know, during the summer, I said, oh, I bet things are pretty slow, right?
Because of the pandemic.
He goes, no, just the opposite.
He goes, you know, my business has never been busier.
Well, now we have car light truck sales are up 246% annual rate increase in quarter three.
That's not a typo, by the way.
And real inflation adjusted retail sales outside of the auto sector grew at a whopping 49.8% annual rate.
And spending on services also rebounded, not as sharply, but it still rebounded.
Much of service consumption is related to home occupancy, which it didn't drop in quarter two, so you don't require the rebound in quarter three.
As a result now, we estimate that real consumer spending on goods and services combined will be at a 40% annual rate, adding to the 26.1 points in real GDP growth rate.
Business investment, equipment rebounding sharply in quarter three.
Investment in intellectual property rebounding at a more robust, more moderate pace, but commercial construction continued to fall.
But housing starts are going through the roof in quarter three as well.
This is all good news for the American people.
And we now have the therapeutics, and we're on the literally right there at the edge of the vaccine, which means that COVID, at some point in the middle of next year, maybe early next year, it's over.
The pandemic, we will have it under complete control.
Thank God.
Thanks to the medical researchers, doctors, scientists, and the people that have done historic work that they never get credit for.
Anyway, but Joe never profited off his family name.
Hunter never profited off the family name.
This laptop scandal, I'm just telling you, it's, you know, Rudy filed, and we're watching it closely.
I have been briefed by some on what is in this hard drive, although I myself don't have a copy, not been able to independently corroborate it.
Not even sure if I want a copy based on what I'm hearing is in it, but we now have confirmed this, that senior law enforcement officials, Fox News reported and others, that the FBI and the DOJ both concur and the Director of National Intelligence also concurs.
Hunter Biden's laptop and the emails retrieved from the laptop are not part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
As, you know, I guess that's the go-to on everything that, you know, comes out of Adam Schiff's lying mouth.
And also the same officials are saying that the FBI, in fact, does have possession of Hunter Biden's laptop in question.
We know that Juliani, along with Bernie Carrick, went to local police in Wilmington, Delaware to report concerns about child endangerment and sexual exploitation in relation to things that they have picked up on this hard drive.
We're watching that very, very closely.
There are other reports out there as well that, you know, and by the way, the laptop from health scandal, even though they've tried to ban it on social media, it's not working.
There's 2.5 million, 59 million interactions with comments, Facebook, Twitter, in spite of them trying to spike the story, according to Axios, watching the story about what exactly is on there, but it is everything we're hearing as explosive as people are talking about.
And it's, you know, you just give a story like this a couple of days to breathe and you find out and you try and, you know, we had so many stories during our whole deep state scandal that we would check and double check our sources and make sure we got everything right.
And I'm doing the same thing here.
That's how we didn't get anything wrong.
And we're not going to get it wrong here either.
You know, it's a smear, Joe Biden says, it's a smear.
Why don't you say it's fake then?
Why don't you say that it's not true?
Why don't you just come out and say this is an absolute lie?
But he's still out there lying, saying that Hunter Biden has not profited off the Biden name.
That's just not true.
That's not a fact.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.

All right, Lennon Skinner can only mean one thing on the Sean Hannity show.
It means it's Wednesday and only 13 days, and you are the ultimate jury, but it also means one other thing.
A man that proclaims he is a simple man who's probably the most complicated guy that we know.
All things Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com, including his latest number one bestseller, Killing Crazy Horse, which is part of a 15-book series that Bill does.
Congratulations again on your success.
How are you, sir?
I'm okay, but if you hear something in the background, I'm getting my house painted.
Well, you don't hear painters for the most part unless they move the ladders.
These guys like are giving each other high fives when they finish the second coat.
I used to paint houses.
I used to paint houses.
I was great at painting houses.
On Long Island, so I'm out there giving directions now.
But anyway, they're all.
Are they painting the inside or the outside of your house?
Outside.
Outside.
We're preparing for the winter here on Long Island.
All right.
Well, what color are you painting your house?
I'm boring, so it's white.
I thought it was going to be pink with purple polka dots or something.
I'm just wondering.
Right.
Like the hippies paint their houses.
Exactly.
With black shutters.
This house is about 100 years old that I live in.
That's almost as old as you are, Hannity.
All right, wise ass.
You're a little older than me, so let's not go there.
All right, so with 13 days out, Mr. O'Reilly, we have a real significant tightening in these polls.
We have this guy, Robert Kahali, is with us with the Trafalgar group.
And the numbers that he's putting out is he thinks Donald Trump is in the lead.
He was the one guy that called Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania last time.
Now he's saying it's all close, but he is saying that he believes Donald Trump now has overtaken Joe Biden in the lead.
Joe was off on Saturday, did one event Sunday, has been off Monday, Tuesday, today, off tomorrow until he has the final debate with President Trump.
Yeah, and I have an inside thing.
He's playing Monopoly all day today.
Is that what he's doing?
I think he's drinking hot cocoa and taking his nappy.
And you know what happened in the game?
Hunter Drew, get out of jail free cart.
He might need it based on what I'm reading.
I saw your piece on your TV show last night.
I actually turned off the World Series and turned you on with the Travalga guy who I've been following because he and Rasmussen were the only guys that called it right four years ago.
I think that President Trump has closed the gap a little bit.
I don't think he's leading now, but I think he's within striking distance in Pennsylvania and in Nevada.
And I think he's ahead in Arizona by a point.
But it's so precarious.
And what I'm telling my people on billoreilly.com and on my radio programs is that, look, if you know people who are supporting Joe Biden, you should have a conversation with them saying, do you really understand the implications of your vote?
Do you understand that traditional America, the way we are living now, is going to change dramatically if he gets in?
So it's not really about Trump versus Biden.
It's not really about that.
It's about the United States changing dramatically.
Do you want that change?
And when I have discussions all over the place, I feel that that tact is very effective.
And I'd like to see Donald Trump use it tomorrow night to rather than do the grievance thing because he's not going to get a fair shake.
Everybody knows it.
The 60-minute thing is just another example.
He's just not.
Just look into the camera and say, these people are going to change every part of your life.
Do you not understand what they want to do to you?
And then reel off four or five things.
If he did that tomorrow night, he'd win.
You know, I think the president should just go in there, be himself as always, because nobody's going to believe if he just changes his real identity and really focus in on what his second term agenda is about and make the comparison, compare and contrast.
Okay, we'll be energy dependent.
We'll have open borders.
We'll have amnesty.
We'll have activist justices.
We'll pack the courts with more activist justices.
D.C. Puerto Rico statehood, it's all on the table.
New Green Deal that will cost trillions and set our economy back in such a way that I don't even see a way to recover from it.
And that America has a very big decision to make here because I don't think you can have two more dramatically or fundamentally different philosophies in terms of governance.
Look, he's the unpolitician, and I'd like him to be that tomorrow night.
I'd like to see him say, look, I feel your pain out there.
I mean, I understand the COVID thing.
I got it that everybody's life's been disrupted.
I got the illness.
I know.
But we have to look ahead.
And there's two roads.
My road is a vibrant economy, a smaller central government.
You have more freedom.
Their road is the central government controls everything you do because that's the goal of what the socialists want.
They want the huge central government in Washington telling everybody, this is what you can have, and this is what you can't have.
And I think if he gets across that there's a tremendous danger, and I would use that word, because Biden's not going to be able to reply to any of that.
Biden, he can't.
He's just, he can't articulate it.
And then if he tries, then in the two minutes of the debate format, Trump will be able to go, oh, come on, look at this, look at that.
It's very instructive that Kamala Harris doesn't talk to the press, that Biden doesn't talk to the press.
Bill, when you first got into television, and you've been at it a little longer than me, who was the president at the time?
Carter.
Okay.
I got in with Reagan.
Yeah, it was Carter versus Ford.
And I interviewed Carter.
I got an interview with him as a young Republican.
Yeah, by the way, that was the biggest mistake in his campaign, but go ahead.
No, I mean, it didn't help me.
Let's make a checklist to do and not to do.
O'Reilly, no, don't do it.
Stay away.
Quick Carter story, all right?
I'm at Dallas.
He gets off Love Field.
He comes out.
I'm there.
I'm the only reporter there.
I go, governor, obviously he's a governor of Georgia.
Good to see you in Texas.
You know, what do you plan to do here?
Over his shoulder, he's got a garment bag.
And he's carrying the garment bag over his shoulder.
And I go, is that yours?
He goes, yeah.
And then later on, I was told there was nothing in the garment bag.
He wanted the people to see that it was a man of the people.
He carries his own bags.
But it wasn't the garment bag.
That would have been great.
What's in the garment bag?
Oh, nothing serious.
Nothing dramatic.
I'm just holding it.
But that's what politicians do.
Let me give you these Trafalgar numbers, though, Bill.
I want to go over this.
Wisconsin, Trafalgar has Biden 47, Trump 46.
Michigan, Trump 46, Biden 45.
Florida, Trump 48, Biden 46.
Pennsylvania, Biden 47, Trump 46.
Arizona, 4743, Trump.
Ohio, 47.43.
Trump.
North Carolina, 4746.
Trump.
Georgia, 49.43.
Trump.
In Minnesota, 4646.
He told you last night on TV that there are a lot of Trump supporters that don't answer the phone and don't answer the polls.
I think he's right.
But I think there's a lot of Trump hatred, too.
And it's about getting people out, and we'll see.
But I think, you know, election night is going to be so tense.
It's not going to be known, not going to be a landslide.
And then you got to consider the Senate.
North Carolina, that Senate rate, Tillis has got to win that because Collins is going to lose in Maine.
And the guy in Colorado is going to lose.
A Republican there.
Corey Gardner, you got a tight race with Martha McSally.
You got a tight race with Joni Ernst.
You got it.
He's got to win.
And again, he can do a lot of good for the down ticket if he says this is the danger from these people, the Democratic Party.
I agree with it.
You know who's doing great is John James in Michigan as a Republican Senate candidate.
Yep.
He's within striking distance, but Michigan is controlled by Democrats.
And in the states that are controlled by Democrats, there's going to be shenanigans.
And I mean that literally.
And, you know, you're going to be up late.
I'm going to be up late.
Everybody's going to be yelling and screaming and jumping down because a lot of these votes are going to be relevant.
I may just sleep it off and wake up in the morning and ask what happened.
I don't.
I may, man.
I'm going to be.
You know what time I went to bed last year?
You don't need no sleep.
I didn't go to sleep at all.
I did not sleep one hour that night.
You never sleep.
You look.
I don't.
I am a loser.
I don't sleep.
You're right.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Ham.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.
All right, as we continue, Bill O'Reilly, all things at PillO'Reilly.com.
His new book out, by the way, another number one bestseller, Killing Crazy Horse, number 15 in his killing series.
We're not sure if I'm going to be 16 or 20 killing Hannity, but some point that's going to happen.
And so we got this crazy race.
What about Hunter?
Now, it's obvious, Bill.
If you've read the Johnson report, if you read the Grassley Report, if you've been following Peter Schweitzer and Secret Empires, and then now whatever we're learning from this Hunter hard drive, which has been authenticated by the FBI, et cetera, that it's not Russian disinformation, you've got obvious, you know, cashing in on his father's name, pay to play.
You got a compromised vice president in the process.
A guy with no experience, nothing but deeply embedded personal problems, making millions of dollars from Ukraine, from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, in Russia, in Ukraine, Chinese national shopping sprees, no private equity experience, but a $1.5 billion deal with the Bank of China.
We're not talking about small amounts of money here.
And now we've got these emails that show that Joe Biden lied when he said he didn't know about any of this.
And all Joe Biden says is none of it's true.
It's a smear.
That's his answer.
But it's obvious.
U.S. Grant did the same thing with his brother, and it almost killed him because the press then took it seriously, and now the press doesn't.
I think that Donald Trump will bring it up tomorrow night.
I'll be tweeting during the debate at Bill O'Reilly.
Yeah, but it's fun.
So at Bill O'Reilly.
President Trump has to frame it as a Joe Biden issue, not a Hunter Biden issue.
He's got to say, look, this guy enraged his family to the tune of tens of millions of dollars by using his position as vice president.
Is that the kind of guy you want leading the country?
Do you really want that?
And if he does raise that in a very authoritative way, that's going to hurt Biden.
Because right now, you know, everybody's running interference for Biden on this, from Twitter to Google to everybody else and Facebook.
And so a lot of people, because they're not zeroed in like you and I are and your audience is, they don't know what to believe.
Trump has gotten a lot of people.
I've never seen anything like it.
All the years.
Never have I. We've been doing radio, TV, never have I. I've never seen anything like this.
Now we've got big tech companies and their reach is in the billions.
The billions.
They are now aligned against Trump.
The media mob, pretty much 99%.
You and I are part of the one-tenth of 1% that are actually that give a different opinion.
And I would consider Joe Biden, because this is the first time in my life that I've ever told anybody who I'm going to vote for.
But I would consider Joe Biden if I thought that he was an honest man.
And I don't.
It's not.
I don't.
I just don't.
As an American.
Forces against Donald Trump.
You know, Bill, let's go back to the Ukrainian impeachment here, and let's go back to Russian interference.
We know there was Russian interference with Hillary Clinton.
They never cared about it in the media.
They only cared about Trump-Russia collusion, but there really was a dirty Russian dossier paid for by Hillary, and they knew it was unverifiable, and they used it to spy on a presidential candidate and a president.
Then you've got the whole, you're not getting a billion taxpayer dollars unless you fire a prosecutor who's investigating my son who has no experience being paid millions.
It was on tape.
But Democrats cared about the quid pro quo that never happened with Trump, but they ignored that obvious quid pro quo.
It is that blatant in terms of the lying and the covering up that they're doing.
It's on such a sophisticated level.
It's breathtaking to me.
What everybody needs to know is that the Washington Post and the New York Times want to run the country.
They're in it for power.
They're not in it for anything else.
If Joe Biden is elected president, the Washington Post and the New York Times will run the United States because he will do everything they suggest that he does.
Everything.
And it's beyond party politics now.
So I know some people don't believe me, but it is absolutely true.
And that's why the press is lined up against Trump, because Trump does not listen to them, is not intimidated by them.
Biden will do exactly what the Washington Post and the New York Times tell him to do.
Scary times, Bill O'Reilly, 13 days, a debate tomorrow.
All things, Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Simple man.
Sir, we'll talk to you next week.
Thanks for being with us.
Always a pleasure.
We've been talking about the polling of the Trafalgar Group.
This is the guy.
His name is Robert Cahalle.
He got all of the states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania right in 2016.
His predictions for 2020, when we come back, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, James O'Keefe has information about Google suppression of speech.
That's coming up and more straight ahead.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
There were only a few pollsters that nailed the Donald Trump victory in 2016.
The mob, the media, Democrats were confident Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States.
I'll never forget the exit polls came in, and it was a slam dunk.
Donald Trump won next to zero states, kind of like 2004 when John Kerry was going to be the next president.
Pollsters get it wrong so often.
You know, there were a few people that got it right.
Matt Towery, John McLaughlin, and Scott Rasmussen were all very close.
Person that called Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which pretty bold prediction at the time, the Trafalgar group.
And if you remember, the media was very confident that this was all going to work out the way they thought in 2016.
Donald Trump, just last week, he confirmed to the National Review that he's again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
You'll cook a bit.
Do it.
I will personally write you a campaign check now on behalf of this country, which does not want you to be president, but which badly wants you to run.
Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
Is that people think that Donald Trump is a clown?
Donald Trump is a clown.
I mean, does anybody seriously think that Donald Trump is serious about running for president?
Donald Trump.
You know, he's a clown.
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
Exclamation point.
At real Donald Trump.
Well, at real Donald Trump, at least I will go down as a president.
Basically, this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
The beginning of the end.
The beginning of the end.
This is probably starting of the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.
Donald, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.
The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.
So right now we have Hillary's about a 75 or an 80% favorite.
We have different versions of the podcast.
You can look at Paul has Hillary Clinton up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38 in a four-way race.
Clinton leading in Florida, Clinton leading in North Carolina, Clinton leading in Ohio, Clinton leading in Nevada.
I could go on and on and on.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be present.
And so right now, Mr. Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say you're not going to be president, all right?
It's been fun.
It's been great.
I love you.
Come on.
Come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio.
That's the projects.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, while we project, will win in Kentucky, in Indiana, with its 11 electoral votes.
West, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota with its three electoral votes.
And South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the state of Montana, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas with its six electoral votes, Nebraska with its five electoral votes, and Wyoming with its three electoral votes.
Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
A lot of people have laughed at me over the years.
Now they're not laughing so much, I'll tell you.
The media mob could not have been more wrong.
The pundits, the late night comics could not have been more wrong.
One guy that was right was Robert Cahaley.
He is with the Trafalgar group of polling.
And very much like 2016, welcome to the program, Robert.
You see very similar trend lines that you saw in 2016.
Tell us why are you seeing things?
How did you see things in 2016 that others did not?
Thanks for being here, Sean.
Yeah, what we see right now is it is very similar in that we had what we called the hidden Trump vote.
People who aren't comfortable saying they're for Trump.
Four years ago, they were referred to as deplorable.
Now, that's the nicest thing anybody says about Trump supporters.
So we see this intensifying, and we see a larger amount of hidden vote.
And frankly, the polling, if you look at the RCP average, which is the only thing you ought to be looking at, it's actually tighter than it was four years ago.
So we think that that vote that is not being counted on the polls is going to be bigger than it was four years ago, and the race is tighter than it is.
So that's why we are so optimistic in our projections.
I don't see any passion or enthusiasm, as we call it, for Joe Biden.
I see a ton of it for President Trump, but I do see a lot of hatred for Donald Trump.
So does it come down to love of Donald Trump versus hatred of Donald Trump?
Absolutely.
I mean, it is not anybody.
Actually, I saw a pretty funny sign.
Somebody sent me pictures of it.
It said reluctantly for Biden.
And it was like the word reluctantly above the Biden logo.
And it was in somebody's yard.
I think that, I think exactly.
And we run into that all the time.
It really is, it's a manifest dislike of Trump.
But the problem is, is just as those who are passionate for Trump are a minority, those who are passionately against Trump are a minority.
But the people who like what a Trump economy like what a Trump America, we still think that's a solid majority.
All right, so let's go through.
Right now, in the state of Wisconsin, you have Biden up by a point.
In Michigan, you have Trump up by a point.
In Florida, you have Trump up by two, almost two and a half points.
In Pennsylvania, you have Biden up by a full point.
Arizona, Trump up by 4743.
Ohio, Trump 4743.
North Carolina, you have Trump 4746.
Interestingly, to me, I think the biggest surprise on the page that I saw was Minnesota 4646.
Georgia, 4943, Trump.
If the president takes Florida and he holds Arizona and Iowa and Ohio and North Carolina and Georgia and then gets Michigan, he's president, is he not?
Exactly.
It's over.
I mean, we look at the states that we think are solid, and we think Florida is solid.
We think any talk of Georgia is a joke.
We think North Carolina is going to be a win, and we think Arizona is going to be a win.
And people are talking about Texas.
They need to go to rehab.
But at that point, and Ohio is really not close.
So at that point, you're down to four paths of victory.
It is that group plus Pennsylvania win.
That group plus Michigan win.
That group plus Nevada and Wisconsin win.
That group plus Nevada and Minnesota win.
So there are four clear paths to victory right there as long as you can count on North Carolina and Arizona.
And we think that he can.
I mean, it's just pretty incredible here.
It's just, it's stunning to me that you buck the trends.
Do you see that the pollsters that were all wrong in 2016 doing the exact same methodology as they did?
Have they not learned anything from 2016?
No, it's funny what the lesson they think they learned is they came out of their big conference and said, oh, we need to wait.
We need to wait better for education.
Well, no, you need to acknowledge that people are not honest with pollsters.
We live in a country where people, a lot of their priests, a lot of their accountant, they're a lot of their doctor, and suddenly they become honest able and they're on the phone with a pollster.
Come on, are you kidding me?
How do you find these voters that are not going to vote for Trump?
How do you get them to talk to you, or how do you figure out who they are if they're not talking to anybody?
Well, first of all, we approach it differently.
We don't just use strictly live callers.
We use a combination of texts and emails and live calls that have extra capacity to make people feel like they're being anonymous.
And we make our surveys much tighter and faster.
These surveys that come in at 6.30 at night, your phone rings and you're supposed to answer 25 questions.
You're getting people who care too much.
Our surveys are less than three minutes when we're doing a ballot test like this, and we're going to get you in and out.
We're going to literally let you have that child in one hand and washing dishes in the other and answer this thing on your Bluetooth in under three minutes.
Do you have in front of you, like give me, I've never been polled in my life, Robert.
I'd love to be polled.
Can you poll me quick?
Okay.
Well, we're doing a quick research from Chicago Research.
It'll be less than three minutes of your time.
Can you tell us if the election for president were held today, whom would you be most likely to support?
Trump.
Okay, we see you're going to be able to get a lot of people.
Oh, you're more likely to support.
Sorry, less likely to support.
I got to listen to the question.
It's like Jeopardy.
I'd be less likely to support Biden.
Absolutely.
And so then we would give you some other questions.
Now, these are the questions we are keeping proprietary this year because we've noticed our neighbor question that no one gives us credit for, we introduced four years ago.
Now everyone's copying.
We're not telling everybody what other questions are this year.
Oh, you're not telling the questions because you don't want people to copy you.
By the way, I have to sometimes hide topics and investigative stories I'm doing because there are other people that try to steal my idea and get it on the air before I do.
I hate that.
So I guess how big a deal do you think Hunter is and how big a deal is Joe hiding in his basement?
Joe took off Saturday, did one event Sunday, off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday this week.
He called a lid on his campaign at like 9 o'clock in the morning, half of the month of September, most of the summer.
He's like never seen or heard.
You know, I think it goes specifically to this thing we call the strong leader measurement.
And on Biden hiding.
I mean, it is a natural contrast.
I mean, it's not just the hiding.
It's the fact that Trump takes tough interviews.
I mean, the Leslie Stahl, I mean, you cannot be perceived as a weak leader when you embrace people who you know are going to give you a hard time.
And whether it's overt or somewhat subliminal, people are seeing that everybody is treating this guy like he's a little slow.
And all of it contributes to this idea of when it comes right down to it, Americans want a president that is strong, that can deal with situations and with people and doesn't hide.
And Joe Biden is providing exactly the opposite image.
Now, as far as Hunter Biden goes, that has got to break out of conservative media.
I think that when we have a more bipartisan audience during the debate, if the president brings it up, Joe might lose his temper and create a very big issue.
And I would encourage anybody listening that that's what ought to happen.
You've got to get this thing outside of the conservative media.
But there are two stories in one because the hiding, we've never seen this.
I mean, when Pierce Morgan is saying that liberals are hiding an issue that they ought to be addressing, you know, they've got a problem.
I think they got a big problem.
And, you know, do people like it when the president's fighting, say, with Savannah Guthrie or Leslie Stahl, apparently, you know, she was giving him a hostile interview.
Does that create, does that help the president, hurt the president, no impact on the president?
I think it depends how he handles it.
I mean, Savannah Guthrie was, I mean, he was, he killed it.
I mean, he was so disciplined and so harsh and just clear with her.
He didn't let her rattle him.
And she's the one who came across as argumentative and combative.
And people want to think a president can handle that because if you can't handle Leslie Stahl and Savannah Guthrie, do we really want you at the G20?
I mean, that's all a good point, too, but I've never seen a guy in hiding the way we see Joe Biden.
If people finally, if a political campaign makes a calculation, and by that I mean they make a political calculation that it's better to hide our candidate than let him, the candidate, go out to talk to people, doesn't that mean that something really is drastically wrong there?
Well, it also could reflect a strategy of make the race a referendum on Trump, not about Biden.
I mean, some would argue that was Romney's mistake as he let the race be a referendum on Romney instead of a referendum on Obama.
So I can't blame them for doing their job.
All right, stay right there.
We'll take a quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll get a final prediction from Robert Cahali.
He's with the Trafalgar group.
They've been the most accurate pollsters now, and as it relates to polling Donald Trump in particular and predicting his victory in 2016.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Howe, and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.
All right, news rounds up information overload hour 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza, our friends at Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, founder, CEO, has another development breaking as it relates to his undercover Google operation.
Something, by the way, we already knew but now have confirmed.
And, you know, there's been a lot of talk about all these big tech companies.
Apparently, earlier today, an article that we had up on Hannity.com that automatically, it's automatic, right?
It gets, we post it on Hannity.com and it automatically tweets out.
Is that correct, Linda?
Is not correct?
That is not correct.
It is a manual effort.
A manual effort.
All right.
So if an article goes up on Hannity.com, somebody then will put it on my Twitter account, right?
That's right.
Okay.
And then that article apparently was taken down by Twitter when Jim Jordan had made a confirmation.
Well, it has a label on it.
It basically says that we don't believe what is in this article.
So before you open it, we want you to know that we don't believe what's in it.
So maybe think twice about reading it.
Does this happen to any liberal groups?
So this is, it's really funny that we're having this conversation, and I'm sure James will speak to this as well.
But literally today, Twitter has enacted these new rules.
So if you retweet something, if you go to open something, it'll say, are you sure you want to retweet that?
Are you sure you want to read it?
Are you sure you want to comment on it?
We're giving you one more chance.
All we did was report the truth.
The truth is, is that Congressman Jim Jordan confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden's emails, but then Twitter slaps this warning label on the tweet.
Headlines don't tell the full story.
Okay, so basically they're saying we're liars.
And they get to edit content, and they still have liability protection under Section 230, which is unbelievable to me.
All right.
Let's, I mean, it just, why am I even on Twitter anymore?
I guess we have a lot of followers on Twitter.
Why are we even there?
Why don't conservatives just say goodbye and move to Dan Bongino's Twitter?
As you well know, change takes time.
People are creatures of habit.
And until we stop putting money, time, and effort into platforms that do not service the American people as one unified country, but instead divide it completely by left and right, we will lose.
And the right has yet to grasp on the big tech companies.
They've spiked the Hunter Biden story as much as they possibly can.
Ironically, it's backfired on them because as a result of their attempts to stifle news and information and editorially favor and choose sides like they do in this in 2016, it was Hillary Clinton.
Now it's Joe Biden.
It's now people are hip to it.
Just like everybody knows the mob, the media, they're one-sided.
They're Democratic, radical, socialist, and all they care about is hating Trump and wanting Joe Biden as frail, weak, forgetful, and cognitively challenged as he is from ever, you know, they want him to get the presidency.
But anyway, so Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, joins us now, and you have this Google advertising manager boasting that the company can censor, they're actually saying it, right-wing and Republicans and reveals that he chose to ignore requests for pro-Brexit ads on a search engine.
You know, you're telling an Italian that lives in London that you don't want to advertise Brexit.
It's like, seriously?
James O'Keefe is with us.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, great to be with you.
You know, the fascinating part of this, this would normally be considered an in-kind donation.
When you look at the reach of Google, the reach of Facebook, the reach of Twitter, you're talking about billions of impressions, billions of people that get reached, you know, that you can reach through these social media platforms.
You can't even begin to in any way calculate how much money that would represent if it was something paid for by a political campaign or monetize that or put a money value on it would be a better way to put it.
Yeah, Sean, I mean, this is this Adriano Amaduzzi, who works on the ad division at Google, and he's saying you can offer free ad credits to Democratic parties for advertising.
You could potentially censor out news from your search engine.
None of this is surprising to anybody, but the fact that you have the man saying it into the camera, these are three videos Sean released, Google employees all talking about how they're trying to skew the election, coming on the heels of this antitrust lawsuit against Google filed yesterday.
So a lot of information here to unpack about what Google intends to do.
So you got this guy.
He's the Google marketing technical manager.
How powerful is this guy?
Well, I mean, these are the rank and file management and some leadership within Google.
The technical program manager at Google Cloud, this is Ritesh Lakar.
And he says that, you know, in terms of misinformation, Trump says something, you're going to delete it.
But if a Democratic leader says it, then you're going to leave it up.
And he says you're a plain, simple trying to play God.
This is the Google employee saying that Google is playing God.
He also says the algorithm is in favor of Biden.
And that's why you see a lot of the positive search.
So, you know, is he a good guy or a bad guy?
I think Ritesh might be somewhere in between.
You know, he's kind of going along with it, but he's also frustrated by what Google is doing.
He also says when Trump won the first time, people were crying at Google.
And he says this as well.
Not a surprise, but certainly confirms our suspicions about Google, Sean.
It certainly does.
All right, let's play this tape.
James O'Keefe undercover, Google Insider saying that they can influence the 2020 election by not letting right-wing groups advertise.
He unabashedly says that Google could get involved in our elections here in the United States by, quote, actually stopping right-wing parties from advertising, unquote.
How do they determine hate speech?
It's not really a concrete definition.
It's human reviewed by Trust and Safety.
So they're the ones who determine it.
So, yeah.
Trust and safety sets their own standards for hate speech.
Yeah.
So they can mock, say it's not an extreme right-wing.
And I agree with you.
It's not their business to get involved, but they do.
And whether people, the majority of Trust and Safety, is extremely left.
Could they or would they get involved with our 2020 election?
Yeah.
By stalking for the, especially stalking right-wing parties from underpinning.
You know, there was actually an article that came out by Newsbusters, and I think they did a pretty good job with it, how they point out that Twitter, Facebook censored Trump campaign 65 times and leave Biden untouched.
Unbelievable.
All right, so it's clear.
Now, why is that not considered a donation?
And go to Section 230 that allows what are supposed to be media platforms where people exchange information.
Once they get into the editing business or editorializing business, such protections then should be removed, which is now what a lot of Republicans are talking about.
It hasn't happened yet, but it should happen.
But is this any different than some kind of in-kind donation to these campaigns?
James O'Keefe.
I don't think so, Sean.
I think it is an in-kind contribution.
I think the question is, what are government officials going to do about it?
I think there's a hearing next week in D.C.
I think it's the Senate Commerce Committee, and I mean, they should be doing something about this.
These Google engineers are clearly saying that preferences are given to one political party.
Google is, I don't know if they're technically a monopoly, but they're a monopoly on ideas.
And it doesn't matter how much money you put, you spend on adbys if you're a candidate.
You could spend a billion dollars on advis.
But if Google can skew that algorithm, as Ritesh Lakar says, in favor of Biden, it's just going to make such a difference.
So I think that they should play these tapes in Congress, and I think someone should do something about this.
I don't know how much more evidence you need, Sean.
DM James O'Keefe, there's always surprises coming out of Project Veritas.
Any, let's say, last-minute surprises coming before the election?
Well, yes.
And just today, we just released this, a Google head of global competitive analysis.
A videotape shows that he says the platforms are influencing you, and people don't know it's happening to them, and they're also promoting Biden ads.
So that's the third Google employee released today.
And Sean, we're going to be releasing a video almost every single day until the election as we do at Project Veritas.
And just stay tuned because there's another bombshell tonight dropping.
All right, James O'Keefe, CEO, founder of Project Veritas.
Thank you for sharing that information.
As always, 800-941-Sean is our number.
To our phones we go.
Coco, Ohio.
We're going to need Ohio 13 days.
Coco, how are you?
Glad you called.
I'm wonderful, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I had just one question for Adam Schiff.
Like, how does he think this supposed Russian disinformation got on Hunter's laptop?
It's obvious it's his.
So is his scenario that this shop owner just happened to have Russian disinformation, loaded it onto Hunter's laptop on the chance he wasn't going to pick it back up?
What's amazing to me, and you ask a great question, you really do, is that this guy, Adam Schiff, the corrupt, compromised, congenital liar, we do have a tape of him compromised and literally conspiring with somebody he thinks is a Russian in the hopes of getting dirt on Donald Trump to impact the elections.
That's the one where Buzova and Boozy met with Trump in New York at some point after the 2013 Miss Universe.
Yes.
Yes, absolutely.
And she's compromising materials on Trout after their short relations.
Okay.
And what's the nature of the compromise?
Well, there were pictures of naked Trump.
Okay.
And so Putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material?
Yes, of course.
Bousova shared those materials with Sobch, and Sobchak shares those materials with Putin because she's a goddaughter of Putin and Putin decided to present Trump.
And the materials that you can provide to the committee or to the FBI, would they corroborate this allegation?
Sure, of course.
When they were in Ukraine, we got their conversation by the phone where they discussed those compromising materials.
We are ready to provide it to FBI.
So you have recordings of both Sovchek and Busav?
That's just about it.
You get the point, Coco.
He thinks he's talking to a Russian, and they've got compromising materials on Donald Trump.
What's the nature of the compromise pictures of Naked Trump?
Did Vladimir see them?
So this guy has been screaming Russia, Russia, Russia.
Now, we've learned that the only Russian interference in 2016 was Hillary Clinton's dirty, bought and paid-for Russian misinformation dossier that he legitimized daily.
And yet this guy goes out there, and to him, he sees Russians everywhere.
So we've had the director of DNI.
Everybody has now said, FBI, DOJ, this is not Russian disinformation, this hard drive.
They can't be any more clear.
How does he say it?
How does he get away with it?
I don't know, Coco, you help me out because he seems to just stay with the same sick narrative every time.
I don't understand how he does it either.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
All right.
How's Ohio looking for Donald Trump?
I think we're going to have a red wave.
It's going to be wonderful.
I don't see one Biden sign around, and I go from Dayton to Columbus all the time.
I don't see enthusiasm for it.
There's a bus tour through Dayton today for Biden, the Soul Bus or whatever that thing is called.
I think there's like 12 people there right now.
It was a big Kamala Harris.
I saw it on Twitter today, like five people at an event she was at, I think, in Wisconsin.
I forget where it was.
All right, Coco, thank you.
800-941-Sean, toll-free telephone number.
We'll just get your calls in last half hour.
Hannity tonight at 9.
Set your DVR.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
All right, the important state of Pennsylvania.
If Donald Trump wins the states that we believe he's going to win and wins Pennsylvania, this is game over.
Dennis is in Pennsylvania.
Dennis, where's Pennsylvania headed in 13 days, sir?
Hey, Sean, it's a tight race here.
Great to talk with you.
There's a lot of money being poured into the Biden campaign.
There are all kinds of billboards ads.
I'm in Western Pennsylvania, which was traditionally very Democratic, went heavily for Trump last year.
We're hoping the same thing will happen again.
What is your sense on the ground?
Have people warmed to Joe Biden or no?
The hardcore Democrats are still there.
There's a lot of wavering in my part of the state.
So I'm hoping that people understand what you're nailing down, what is truly at stake.
And what I'm trying to tell people is your analogy about the football being a touchdown down and driving the length of the field.
We can't just put the ball in the end zone and forget about kicking the extra point.
If we don't win local House and Senate races, because the Democrat mainstream congressional and Senate committees, all these politicians will not condemn Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer.
And if they win, there's no punishment for them.
The Democrats need to be defeated like the Republicans were after Watergate, where unfortunately for Republicans, the tar of Nixon was established to them.
These Democrats have to understand that they're going to have a landslide loss.
That has to happen down ballot, House, Senate, state and local races so that Democrats understand that they have to abandon this radical shift of the party or we're done.
Because Nancy Pelosi has said that she can impeach Trump for anything.
If they hold the House, win the Senate.
I think you're making a great point.
If every person takes it seriously, as you are suggesting, and I'm only running out of time, Dennis, and every person looks at what the stakes are here, then I don't see how you put the frail, weak, cognitively compromised half a corpse in as president.
Their stated policies would destroy the country.
Quick break, right back, wide open phones, final half hour of the Sean Hannity show.
Straight ahead.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
So my team got this, you know, this parody song from a listener.
It's actually with the music of Van Halen and the song Jump with some Biden inserts in it.
All right, I'll take your word for it that you all like it.
Let's play it.
Play the radio.
Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.
Speak softly and carry a big stick.
I promise you, every president has a big stick.
And it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word, jobs.
J-O-B-S jobs.
If you have a problem, figure it out whether you're premier Trump or you ain't black.
All right, sent to us by a listener, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let's get to our busy, busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Ron is in Florida.
Ron, how are you?
How are you, Sean?
I'm good.
What's happening?
Well, I wanted to talk about COVID, which is a subject that Trump gets bashed about every single day.
And so I'd like to say, let's go to the wall, the Trump wall, which the Democrats were against.
Now, this wall is kept out who knows how many illegals, with who knows how much COVID, saving countless American lives.
I wonder what Fauci is to not bring that up as something good that Trump did.
And Biden said, I'm going to listen to the experts.
How about securing the waters, Joe?
I mean, I'm reading article after article how therapeutics are now, it is not the death sentence for even people with compromised immune systems and underlying conditions.
We know better now how to treat COVID.
People are not dying like they were at the beginning of this pandemic.
Is every life being saved?
No, but they've made incredible strides.
And with therapeutics, incredible, we have an incredible ability now to save lives and get people that even struggle the most over the hump and back to good health.
You add that to the vaccine that probably will be announced definitely by the end of November.
And, you know, this thing is going to be history after the election.
And, you know, it would kind of suck if Donald Trump pulled us through all this and doesn't get the credit for it.
But as that evolved, this wall goes back to way before things evolving with pharmaceuticals, where Trump stopped an additional amount of COVID coming into this country with much more lives being lost.
And I don't think that, you know, when old people say they're afraid and people criticize him, it's unfair because he's done so many things that people don't even stop to think about.
And that's one of them.
And I'd like Trump to talk about it more.
Listen, Democrats were impeaching President Trump when he was putting in place his travel ban, his quarantine the first in 50 years, his subsequent travel bans, and building out all the PPE because no state was ready.
All these liberal governors were praising Donald Trump.
But, you know, life's not fair, to be honest, Ron.
And Joe Biden thinking the travel ban's xenophobic, I think it's a fair question to ask if he was hoping for more billion-dollar deals for zero-experience Hunter.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Ron is in, I'm sorry, Richie is in Florida also.
Richie, how are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you today?
I'm good, sir.
What's going on?
Well, I wanted to get your thoughts about, I wanted to talk about a little about New York.
You know, as an ex-New Yorker, everybody's talking about this election that's coming up, but the next one, when they have to vote in New York for governor and for mayor, I want to get your thoughts about, do you think they possibly might elect a Republican or a conservative next time?
Because things are so bad up there.
You know, I guess anything is possible.
You know, years ago, nobody thought that Rudy Giuliani could get elected.
Andrew, his son, is actually thinking about running.
Would be interesting if he got in the race.
And I think you're right.
It was on the heels.
Who did he replace?
I think he replaced David Dinkins at the time, but there had been a lot of racial unrest at the time, and the city was a mess.
And Rudy came in as a law and order mayor, vowing to clean it up, stop the violence.
He did a great job, got reelected.
So yeah, I think it could happen again.
You know, it's funny you mentioned that because my wife and I left New York in 91 and right before I left, I voted for Giuliani.
And prior to voting for Giuliani, I had been a Democrat for many years.
I said, no, no, no, no.
I just changed and that was it.
And I never looked back.
But it's funny because that's the exact time when I changed my mind, became a Republican, voted for Giuliani, and I moved out of New York.
Well, you better believe the law and order, safety, security is on the ballot.
You better believe the 62% tax rate, 50 cents said, no, I'm not voting for Biden with that incredible.
That's 62 cents federally out of every dollar you make that the government's going to take.
Then the Green New Deal, then everything's going to be free.
Then open borders, then amnesty, then the biggest power grab in 150 years.
Then activist justices packing the courts.
It's all there.
You know, how aware are people of these very specific issues?
Somebody criticized me, said, Hannity, you keep telling us what Joe is going to do every day.
You tell us why?
Because not everybody's listening every minute of every day.
And I want everybody that's going to vote to know exactly what they will do.
Their stated agenda will be a disaster for the country.
And I don't see a way back if it's implemented.
And that means the Green New Deal, ending, you know, our all reliance on fossil fuels, open borders, amnesty, packing the courts, ending the legislative filibuster, all of these varying power grabs, D.C., Puerto Rico, statehood.
I just see nothing but radicalism all throughout the Democratic Party.
What they're saying they're going to do, believe them.
Because if you believe it, it should scare you enough because it will alter the country's heart and soul in ways that I don't, in ways I don't think we ever recover.
Alabama, Doug, next, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Doug?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you doing?
I'm awesome.
I love listening to your show.
It's great.
Thank you.
I just wanted to say that, you know, the Democrats are so hard up to get Trump out of it.
They're throwing everything at this guy.
I mean, everything.
And he's just shucking it off like it's going out of style.
And my thing is, why are they so angry?
Why are they going after him so hard?
And I really think that when he gets reelected, he's got nothing else to lose.
You know, they can try to impeach him.
They can do everything, but now they've got this laptop.
You know, somebody, eventually, somebody's got to pay the price.
Somebody's got to pay the Pipe Piper for all the illegal stuff they've been doing.
And I really believe that.
If you want that justice, I have advice for you.
Go out and make sure you vote.
That's my advice.
You got an important Senate race in Alabama.
I'd vote in that Senate race.
Make sure you vote for president.
I mean, the only answer is that, look, these, I keep saying they're institutional forces.
You got big tech companies with billions of impressions.
You've got the media mob, 99.9% of them.
You've got the Democratic Party, Radical Socialist Party that they've now become.
And then you've got the weak Rhino Republican establishment party, which is really just an offshoot of all things Democratic Party.
And these are very, very powerful forces that have been out to destroy Donald Trump.
And I'll tell you what I think it is.
Donald Trump has exposed this good old boy and good old girl system that goes on in D.C., and he's draining the swamp.
And he's been able to do more because he's challenged them in ways that they've never been challenged before.
And they can't even keep up with this guy.
And they hate the fact that he's that good at what he does.
And he lives in their head.
And he fights and he battles and he battles and he fights.
And some people, oh, I wish he'd fight less.
I have no problem with a politician fighting for the promises they make to the American people.
None at all.
I have no problem when a president is telling our allies that we're sick of carrying the freight and you got to pay your fair share.
I don't have a problem with a president that fights and defeats the caliphate or Soleimani or Baghdadi or the al-Qaeda leader in Yemen.
A guy that says he's going to build the wall and has to fight and claw to get the money to build it and then does it.
I like a fighter.
Rather than the milquetoast, ever-so-polite, you know, cocktail dinner parties, Washington correspondence dinners, I really don't have a lot of interest in those people.
So that's all on the ballot.
Their radical agenda is on the ballot.
Protecting a cognitively challenged presidential candidate is also on the ballot.
I mean, they are running interference in ways that we can't even begin to imagine to keep the public from seeing the real condition of Joe Biden.
It's scary, actually.
Yeah.
I mean, with 14 days to go, you don't take five out of six days off and not go to work.
Never seen that before.
Anyway, good call, Doug.
Appreciate it.
John in Florida.
John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Sean, I'm great.
Thanks very much.
How are you doing today?
I'm good, sir.
What's happening?
I'm just, you know, I've been listening to you a lot and just really made me curious about Biden's tax returns.
We know that he's manufactured these things for the last 50 years.
Of course, they're going to be perfect.
I'm wondering if we can see the rest of the family's tax returns.
Don't count on it.
Look, big tech has already decided that they don't even want you to see the New York Post and what's on Hunter's hard drive.
Why would they allow the tax returns to ever come out?
People rightly want to get it right and be careful and not report false information.
So it's a process.
We don't have a lot of time, but it's a process.
But what we know already is enough to show that the Biden family business was one of patronage and pay to play and using access to enrich oneself and one's family.
It's not that hard to figure out.
And if the last name was Hunter Trump, I guarantee you there'd be a lot different coverage.
We know, thank goodness, there are people like you that are out there helping the rest of us understand what these guys are really doing to America.
We're trying, but they hate me too, in case you didn't know.
A lot of these people hate me.
And they hate Mark Levin and they hate Rush and they hate the few of us on Fox that have a different point of view.
Unbelievable.
And by the way, and they spent a lot of money to try and get us off the air.
Every one of us has experienced this at different points in our career.
And it's like a never-ending nonstop funding effort to silence opposition voices.
And if this power grab goes through, I shudder to think how bad that's going to get.
June in Florida.
June, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
We got a minute for you, June.
Glad you joined us.
Hi, Mr. Hannity.
I was just upset because they keep saying how Trump didn't do a good job on the coronavirus.
I think Trump did a great job on the coronavirus.
Why don't they bring up H1N1 and how Cuomo killed a whole bunch of seniors in New York?
I mean, why don't they bring that kind of stuff up when they're talking in the debate tomorrow?
I don't think people know how poorly Mr. Biden and Obama handled H1N1.
And I think that the president needs to let people on TV know because I think that only the people who love him and support him know the truth.
And I think other people have to see it.
You know, I don't know what we could have done better.
In retrospect, it's so upsetting that so many of the scientists, and it was nothing malicious or nefarious on their part, were wrong.
And I think that all the modeling ended up being wrong and the predictions were wrong.
And, you know, you make decisions based on the scientific information as it's available at the time.
But I think people were trying their best.
But you're dealing with the worst pandemic in 100 years, over 100 years.
It gets a little difficult.
And with all of that said, we still were able to, within a year, we're going to have a vaccine.
Less than a year, we'll have a vaccine for coronavirus.
That's never happened in human history.
We now have even those people that have underlying conditions, older people, compromised immune systems.
You know, we've now developed the therapeutics that are keeping people that earlier in the pandemic would have died alive.
I mean, this is incredible progress we've made.
Our medical researchers, scientists, doctors, medical professionals, first responders, these guys are great.
And they really, really, everybody stepped up and they do what we always do, and that's American exceptionalism and American greatness.
Did we get everything right?
No.
Joe Biden didn't even want the travel ban.
We'll start there.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We got a busy Hannity tonight.
We'll go over the election map.
Bill Hemmer will join us.
Lawrence Jones, LJ outside of Biden's house, if he wants to do an interview.
Eric Trump will join us.
The latest on the Biden family corruption and the millions they made.
Senator Ron Johnson, Pete Hegsteth, Dan Bongino, Mike Huckabee, and Eric Perini.
Satan DVR, Hannity, 9 Eastern.
We'll see you then.
Thank you for being with us.
Back here tomorrow, only 12 days, and you are the ultimate jury.
