Day number three, seventeen.
At our two, Sean Hannity Show 800 941 Sean on number, you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh in the great state of South Dakota, Christy Ohm was on number of shows over the the weekend.
The the governor of that state, they had already had in place a law, a bill that in fact uh automatically, if Roe was ever overturned, uh, would prevent people from having any abortions in the state of South Dakota.
Remember, abortion has not been outlawed, and the governor was very clear this weekend that that no, they're not going to be targeting women or anybody for prosecution.
Uh, but this is the state law in South Dakota.
Here's the governor said the first thing we're gonna be debating after the abortion ban is how to support mothers.
Listen to this.
What I believe will happen is that if we do go into a special session, that there'll be debate around how we can support these mothers.
I've already launched a a website that's uh called life.sd.gov, and it's to get resources to individuals who have an unplanned pregnancy or if they're in a crisis situation that will coordinate financial assistance, uh, people that will come alongside them during this time, also make sure that they get health care and access that they may need.
It lists all the nonprofits, different organizations that work with them, and then also connects them to families that may want to adopt their baby should they choose to give their baby up for adoption.
So it's an incredible resource that does more to support these women that are in a situation that was unplanned and really does leave them in a situation where they're not prepared for the news that they have that they're expecting a baby.
All right, Governor Gnome joins us now.
Governor, great to have you back.
How are you?
Oh, we're doing great, Sean.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
Let's talk about your position.
Um, and and for example, this is what the left would say.
See, abortion's gonna be outlawed in America, but the South Dakota is very different than California, Illinois, New York, and and other liberal states, um, Oregon, Washington, etc.
And it's it's fascinating to me.
Um, you had actually said something that really caught my attention and defending the South Dakota ban without any exceptions except for the the life of the mother to build stronger families, and you said not a reason for another tragedy to occur.
Explain.
Well, you know, th you know, people talk consistently about the horrific situation that that some women go through, you know, during rape or incest and and what that means for their lives, and then the baby that's a result of that and the tragedy of it all.
Um, you know, I I've just been a believer that you know, one tragedy it's really makes it very difficult to justify another one, and that if we did a better job, I think in this country, and as people as individuals and leaders supporting women that are in this crisis that are in this terrible situation and helped them with health care and counseling and walked alongside them,
got them connected with people who could give that baby a loving home if they chose not to keep it, then we would have a much better result at the end of the day than perpetuating another tragedy.
So I know that when you listen to what's happening from the left and what they're saying out there is they're trying to scare women and terrorize them to think that the whole world turned upside down just a few days ago when the Supreme Court made this decision.
Um I think people need to consistently keep perspective and recognize that what the Supreme Court did was to fix a wrong decision that happened almost fifty years ago and return this power back to the states.
And the states can have these debates about what it looks like in each of their states, but in South Dakota today, no abortions are being performed.
When did South Dakota codify that into law that if in fact Roe was overturned that this would be the law in South Dakota?
It was back in 2005 when that trigger law was passed and put into place.
And it does not punish mothers.
What it says is that it would go after doctors.
Doctors who knowingly break the law would be prosecuted.
And I need to be very clear about that too, because no one wants to go after mothers who are in these situations.
And this year we brought a bill that that telemedicine abortions, it was my bill, telemedicine abortions would not be allowed either, and that's because it's a very dangerous procedure for a woman to undergo with no medical supervision.
So uh, you know, we're not gonna be able to do that.
Are you talking about when a when a woman would contact a doc doctor FaceTime perhaps, Zoom call perhaps, and the doctor would then prescribe what because fifty-five percent according to Gutmunker institute of abortions today that take place are done with a pill, are you saying that they wouldn't be able to do it that way?
Correct.
That they can't over a phone call or over the internet um contact a doctor and get a prescription mailed to them.
Women are four times more likely to end up in an emergency room uh from a procedure like that with no medical supervision.
So in our state, we just believe that if that is something that someone wanted to pursue, they needed to have a physician involved.
Let's talk about, for example, New York is now advertising itself, the governor of New York, uh, that it's gonna they're gonna make New York State what quote, an abortion travel destination in in the sense that it's gonna be a state where anybody from any state, any place, anytime, anywhere could travel to New York, and I'm sure there'll be groups that pop up that'll probably fund the the these trips for people.
Uh we know corporations have already said that they would step up and pay the cost if somebody wanted to go to a more liberal state and have an abortion if their state doesn't allow it or has restrictions that they don't agree with.
Uh what are your thoughts on that?
I think that's a horizontally to be known for.
I guess I'm very proud of the fact that in South Dakota we're known as the Mount Rushmore state.
The the state that honors historic leaders rather than honoring the death of so many millions of innocent children.
I think that's that's a a person who truly needs to get some perspective on what's important in this world.
Every life is precious.
And um and I I think that when we can come back to recognizing that truly and and not be hypocrites like the left is on so much of this, telling us that they're fighting for equality, yet they give millions of babies no chance whatsoever to even have a chance to breathe their first breath.
Do we know what the people of South Dakota think about this?
In other words, i I know for example, California has a referendum process.
If there was a referendum on the ballot for the people of South Dakota, what do you think the vote would come down as?
We've had it on the ballot in the past, just in the re you know, most recent within the last ten years.
So and and it has not passed to completely uh ban abortions in the state.
So we've got some work to do to educate people to use the science and technology that we have to really talk about uh these babies and their lives and the options that they have.
I think so many times people aren't educated to to what resources are out there for these mothers, and then also just what science has proven us that these babies feel pain, that doctors when they do surgeries and procedures on babies in the womb, that they knowingly and with a lot of credibility call that a patient, and it is it has patient rights protections when they're doing this.
Why would that not also be a life at that point in time as well?
Can you explain this insanity of the left?
And and maybe people make exceptions.
I I do know people in my life that personally say that they're pro-choice, but they're very, very clear in what they mean by that, and they'll always say it was Bill Clinton who who coined the phrase uh legal and rare, and I would add the words early for those people that are considered themselves pro-choice.
I'm like you, I'm pro-life.
I do make uh two exceptions, although I will uh concede the point that it's intellectually inconsistent if you believe life begins at conception for rape incest in the mother's life.
Uh you have the more intellectually honest position than I do.
I don't know why the Democratic Party wanted to pass a bill in Congress, or the statement of Governor then Governor Northham.
You know, first we'll deliver the baby.
We'll make sure the baby's comfortable, then the mother and the doctor will talk and they'll decide if the baby gets to live.
You know, but for the people that lecture us constantly about following the science, at that point in time, third semester third trimester abortions, that is called infanticide.
That child could live outside of the mother's womb independently.
That is that is a life.
Yeah, you know, Sean, they're they're demanding abortion on demand, and they're even saying uh Democrats, liberals are saying in portions of this country that babies can be killed after they're born.
So the extreme position is just not backed up at all by anything else that they say um they embraced as far as science.
Um, you know, we heard this during the COVID pandemic, and I talk about the pandemic and this hypocrisy and this this is uh you know attack that has been on conservatives in my book that's coming out tomorrow.
Um I talk about what that is like to live in an and work in a world where the hypocrisy is all around you and people are being consumed by fear that is driven by these liberals, these liberals, and and many people in the media that constantly cause people to lose perspective and embrace those extreme positions that they are today.
You know, but I was being negligent if I didn't uh mention the book.
I did get an early copy of it.
I love the title of it, uh, not my first rodeo.
Um the country now is going through uh, I mean, I I would argue preventable pain in so many regards.
Uh we don't have to have chaos at our borders.
We know how to solve that problem.
We don't need to be paying over five dollars an hour uh gallon for gasoline on average nationally.
Uh we were energy independent a year and a half ago.
Uh we don't need inflation at a 41-year high.
Um, in large part, it's because of the economic and energy policies of Joe Biden.
Uh we can go back to the policies that were working.
And and this is something that the country seems to flirt with every once in a while, and that is it's that that flirtation with socialism, and it always ends in a disaster.
Why do why does the country keep, you know, going back to that which we know will fail.
Well, we're uneducated.
I think the public in general, you know, won't go back and look at history and see that it has failed.
You know, that's why you don't neglect talking about your past leaders, you know, where you've been as a country.
And and that's extremely challenging.
I also think people are lazy.
I think they're interested in headlines.
They don't even read full articles anymore.
You know, I I see this consistently on every policy debate and discussion that we have.
I just sat with some conservatives who were demanding that I pass mandates to businesses.
Well, you know, I'm a conservative.
I'm a I'm I'm a person who believes that the government shouldn't be dictating to businesses, which is private property.
I said I had to fight this with Republicans just yesterday.
So that's what's interesting to me is if we knew our history, we would understand why we don't want the government stepping in and telling people what they can do on their private property or in their private business.
And that's we have to do a better job making sure every time we talk that we're educating people on our history and why we have the belief system that we have.
All right, quick break more with South Dakota Governor Christy Noma's with us.
Her new book is out today, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores everywhere, not my first rodeo lessons from the Heartland.
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 sas.
You're our kind of people.

Well, with Governor Kristi Noem of the great state of South Dakota.
She has a new book out, by the way, Not My First Rodeo, Lessons from the Heartland.
I was really taken aback.
I did not know that you lost your father tragically, that you, one, grew up on a ranch in the heartland.
Two that you lost your dad at a at a very young age.
And that in South Dakota and the way you grew up is quote, we don't complain about things, we fix them.
And now you became the first governor in South Dakota's history.
And you talk about all of these lessons that you learn from your dad and from life on a ranch and in the heartland.
It's very different, for example, than the life that I grew up with.
I grew up a street fighter governor.
That's what I did.
You did.
I know you did.
I love it.
You know, I think what what people got really curious about rural America during the pandemic, you know, and when I'm curious.
It's a it's a place of common sense and good people, and people probably first heard my name just a couple of years ago, and they don't realize all that I've gone through in my life, the different positions and challenges, different things I've done.
And this isn't my first rodeo.
The pandemic wasn't my first rodeo.
I've stepped up many times in the past and had big fights over something that was incredibly important at that time.
So I think that it's good for people to maybe know my background, know more about me.
We make smap snap judgments about people sometimes, and that history is incredibly important to know really what what made a person who they are today.
It's interesting.
After the death or untimely death of your dad, you you decided to ri run the family farm and ranch with your family and and how that has defined you through the rest of your life.
Um, do you see life beyond maybe being governor?
Your name is often brought up as a potential presidential candidate down the road or vice presidential candidate.
Would that be something you'd be open to?
Well, I'm hoping South Dakota will choose to re-elect me to be their governor this year.
You know, that's certainly something I'm I'm hoping.
I think your odds are pretty good.
I think the Hannity endorsement will put it right over the top.
You know, um, you know, I I think that it's important we all do what we can do at this point in time.
I'm not planning to run for any higher office.
Um, but I do think we need to have people who do more than they're doing today, or else we really are this we really are gonna lose this country.
And and that's what I love.
The optimistic part of this is people are engaged.
There's people who've never paid attention to their government politics before that are now paying attention.
So we have a unique chance here to get America back on track for an educated public that really does defend their way of life.
You know what that's really in keeping with the title of your new book, by the way.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, and in bookstores everywhere as of tomorrow, not my first rodeo, lessons from the Heartland.
Uh we don't complain about things, we fix them.
We've got to fix this country because it is on the wrong track.
Uh the worst that I have seen in my lifetime.
Uh Governor, we love having you on.
Thank you so much for being with us.
Best of luck with the book, and and I think people are going to learn a lot about you that they had no idea about.
I know I did.
So it's uh it's a fascinating read.
Thanks for being with us.
Uh, thank you, Sean.
Appreciate it.
We'll talk to you soon.
You bet.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break.
Right back.
Holding them accountable.
Sean gets the answers.
No one else does.
America deserves to know the truth about Congress.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
800 941 Sean, our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, you know, after we saw Glenn Youncan's massive victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I think now we're beginning to see, especially after the win of Congresswoman Flores.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable.
So as far as I'm concerned, all bets are off right now.
And Republicans should play for keeps in every single race, every single congressional district, every Senate race, every every gubernatorial race.
There is a guy that is now the mayor of Aurora in Illinois is now running to become the next governor.
He's a vet.
Former prosecutor, twice elected mayor, sick of democratic politics.
And this got really personal for me over the over the weekend.
Um I have a colleague of mine at the Fox News channel, and he lost his brother, who was murdered over the weekend in Chicago.
Does that surprise anybody?
Fox News political analyst, Gianni Calwell.
I've been scrolling names from Chicago now since 2009.
Nobody's lifted a finger.
Anyway, here's the latest ad for Richard Irving.
And I believe that all lives matter.
Every family should be safe.
Running our second largest city, crimes come down because the police budget has gone up.
I hired more cops each year.
We've recruited new companies, turned old properties into economic engines, and we've controlled spending, balanced budgets.
So residents got property tax relief.
My city is now safer, stronger, and full of opportunity.
I want that for Illinois.
Madigan and his ilk, Governor Prisker, they've done so much damage.
But I promise you, we can overcome the challenges.
That's what I'm good at.
But we must dare to dream of an Illinois that is free, prosperous, and proud enough to truly be the land of Lincoln again.
I'm Richard Irving.
I'm running for governor of Illinois.
And with your help, we will take our state back.
Anyway, Richard Irvin joins us now.
Uh anyway, your life is really the embodiment.
I've been reading a lot about you of the American dream.
You were born to a single mom, raised uh in the in what they call the projects in Aurora.
Then you become the the mayor of this town.
Uh you have the first person in your family to graduate.
Incredible life story.
Uh, you're also a veteran, former prosecutor, incredible resume.
Um, everything I've read about you is is beyond impressive.
How are you?
Oh, how are you, Sean?
Good to be on with you today with you and uh your listeners.
Well, it's an honor to have you on.
What's happening in your state?
Because the same thing's happening in the state of New York where I live, unfortunately.
I don't want to live here anymore, but I'm living here because of my work.
But what what what is why is it every weekend?
We can we can predict with certainty.
30, 40, 50, 60 people are gonna be shot.
X number of the people shot are gonna be killed.
And nobody lifts a finger.
I'm like, why don't you fix this?
I couldn't understand it, and I still don't understand it.
You know what?
Uh Sean, crime is out of control in the state of Illinois.
Uh, and there's no one that can give an answer.
J.B. Prisker, the governor that's here now, he's making it more easy for criminals break to break the law.
He's handcuffing our police officers and and preventing them from being able to stop these criminals from committing this crime.
We need to take handcuffs off the police officers and put them back on the criminals where those handcuffs belong.
You know, as a former prosecutor, as the mayor of the second largest city of the state that had crimes been out of control.
I know exactly what we need to do to address that crime in our state.
First off, we cannot allow J.D. Priscilla to continue to sign in legislation that present that that is a no-cash bail.
Starting January 1st under J.B. Pritzker, the current governor of this day, the Democratic governor.
There is a no-cast bail for criminals who commit felonies, slap high fives of the police, and then get out of jail with no consequences.
As a matter of fact, all the ones that are in jail now, wait, that are on bond, waiting for trial, they'll all get charged out back into our neighborhood community.
10,000 people across the state of Illinois.
That is out of control, and we've got to do something about it.
And that's exactly why.
J. Pritcher looked at my background, as you pointed out, looked at the fact that I grew up in the project myself and know exactly what we need to need to do to address issues by making sure we provide education, making sure we provide jobs and economic prowess, making sure that we provide opportunities for the future.
He knows that, which is why he spent 35 million dollars.
Let me tell you, a Democrat spent 35 million dollars meddling in the Republican primary against me to take me down and to lift up a lesser candidate that he wanted to face in the general.
Let's talk about a little bit about your background because I want people to understand this.
You love your state.
You don't like what's happening in your state but your state is at pretty hardcore blue.
It's not purple, it's not red for sure, but it's a blue state.
Is there any chance in this blue state, just like New York, just like New Jersey, just like California, that Republicans can win a general absolutely and and I would be that Republican to win the general because for a Republican to win in Illinois.
Republicans are going to be repu uh three categories of voters Republican voters, independent voters, and Democratic crossover voters.
Now I'll go to the Democratic community and tell them look, the Democrats have been running you know your community in this state for decades and you still don't have jobs.
Still got high crime and kids getting mowed down in drive by shootings.
You still don't have opportunities for the future give me a chance someone who grew up in the in the project grew up in low income housing and has fixed the problem before in my city the second largest city in the state and we will make a difference.
And I and JB Prisker knew that when I told that message that I would beat him in November, which is why he spent thirty five million dollars in a Republican primary Democrat in a Republican primary tearing me down and lifting up a lesser candidate.
He knows that I'm his worst nightmare he's forecasting that this could be a change for the state and he is willing to spend money this is the most ever spent in the history of our nation in the history of this country that a Democrat spent 35 million stopping one individual from from going forward to the general because he knows he's telling you this is the person I'm most scared of this is the person that can beat me and not just beat me but change the whole system and change the state and I'm going to stop before he even gets started.
You know this is an amazing time what I like is that it's happening I think uh Newt Gingrich's analysis is dead on accurate he's talking about a new American majority and he's not talking about Republican.
And he's not talking about Democrats either.
He's talking about common sense Americans that believe in very simple, fundamental, basic government that works.
Lower taxes, less bureaucracy, energy independence, simple common sense, securing our borders so fentanyl and opioids don't cross over and kill our kids.
I mean, basic stuff following the rule of law.
This is not happening.
It would include law and order, safety and security.
Richard, do you know any way anybody can pursue happiness if they're not safe and secure in their town or city?
Absolutely not.
There's no way that anyone's going to be safe and secure in their city, in their state, if we've got crime and corruption.
They're not out of control.
There's absolutely no way, which is why we have so many businesses that are uprooting and leaving Chicago and Illinois.
We had Caterpillar just announced they're leaving Chicago.
Boeing announced they're leaving Chicago.
and now they're leaving Chicago because of crime and the taxes are spinning out of control and it's and they don't believe that this governor has what it takes to to fix it.
They know he does it and they're not willing to put up with it anymore.
The only way we're going to get people to move back in and business to move back in is to turn this to back to a law and order state the true land of Lincoln again.
You know I think it's you know may I have more hope than I've ever had before I do believe it'll be an uphill battle for any Republican in a blue state like this but if it's ever going to happen I think this is the best that this is the best moment for somebody like yourself to run.
You know but one of the things we always look at when we look at polls we look at demographics and you see Joe Biden and the Democratic party they're losing Hispanic Americans, African Americans, the use the losing young people in droves I mean 20, 30% in in the polling numbers you see a president with a what on average a 32 three, four uh a percent approval rating not very high.
So it seems like common sense I I mean yeah I I'm just looking for people that will fix problems that want to serve their community and then go back to whatever they were doing beforehand.
And that that's all I want to do you know, I want to serve.
I served in the United States Army when I when I uh went to war for this country in the Gulf War, Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
I served as a prosecutor.
I served as an alderman for ten years before I became mayor.
I'm serving as mayor of the second largest city in the state of Illinois.
I just want to help people and fix things.
That's why I'm here.
You know, and and you're absolutely right.
We gotta get back to common sense.
And what the Democrats are doing, especially J.B. Pritzker, meddling in this Republican primary, you know, he's trying to confuse uh and befuddle our our Republican electorate that that vote in a primary.
And we know sometimes the people that vote in a primary aren't necessarily those, you know, those folks that are middle of the road.
Those are the folks that are a little bit more conservative, the ones that we can always expect to come out.
And what J.B. Priscart is doing is he's confusing them.
And he's picking his own general, uh, his own Republican, uh, a candidate that faced in the general, one that he knows he can beat easily, one that can't get the Republicans and the independent and democratic crossover to win.
He knows that.
And he knows that I'm the best chance of actually turning the state purple or getting it close to red, which is why he's spending so much money, the most in history, to stop me from getting to the general election.
Richard Urban, currently the mayor of Aurora in Illinois, and he's now running for the gubernatorial nomination for the Republicans.
Uh that primary takes place tomorrow.
We're following this race closely.
I think he'd be a great governor in Illinois, and you say, Well, Hannity, what's the odds that a Republican can win Illinois?
I'd say, in this year, nobody knows.
All bets are off.
You know, the most amazing thing to me is I've I'm telling anybody that will listen to me that's a re running as a Republican.
I said, You need to reach out to every single solitary part of either your district or your state, and shake every hand and meet every person and explain don't let the left define what conservatism is, because I don't recognize their definition of conservatism, you know, which is Republicans are racist and they're sexist and misogynists and homophobic and xenophobic and Islamophobic and now transphobic and they want dirty air and water and they want to kill our children and grandma and grandpa.
Um that's not gonna work in my mind.
And the other thing they seem to be running on is now with this the overturning of Roe and and the Second Amendment case that came out from the Supreme Court last week, they're gonna run on that.
They want to run on the January 6th hearings.
Do you think that gets them far?
It doesn't.
You know, listen, I I'm African American, and I am a proud Republican.
My grandfather, who was my father figure taught me years ago.
You give a man a fish, he's for a day.
If you teach him a fish, he's for a lifetime.
All the Democrats want to do is give handouts.
That keeps people down.
I'm trying to teach people how to fish so they can stand on their own.
I'll give anybody a hand up, never a hand out.
You gotta teach our people to stand on their own so we can be independent Americans, living the American dream just like I like I lived it.
Listen, I I've gotten support from so many people throughout this state.
I got support from the FOP Labor Council, the Illinois FLP, the Chicago FOP, the governor's own police agency, the Illinois State Police Troopers endorsement, as well as twenty sheriffs up and down the state in 20 different counties.
They know that this is the time for us to actually make a difference, common sense difference, on on how we're gonna govern and how we're actually gonna we're we're gonna help people in the state of Illinois.
And the Democrats are not having it.
We've got a billionaire that's in office right now in J.B. Pritzford that's willing to spend 35 million dollars in a Republican primary to make sure that a person like me doesn't, you know, face him down on the same stage with them in the general election.
He knows my record of success in turning, you know, around my city, you know, uh and it will trump his record of failing our state every single time, which is why he's trying to confuse our uh our Republican voters in the primary, trying to get them to vote for a lesser candidate, one that he knows he can beat in the general, uh so he can continue to run the state into the ground.
And what I hear is trying to uh set himself up to run for president.
So he's willing to spend any amount of money now, so you know, you can win re-election and run for president one day.
Well, you know, he'd be a terrible president because he's been a terrible governor.
We need somebody, we need somebody that's actually gonna make a difference in the state and not get the.
As a total pipe dream, total pipe dream, but he he's gonna run and and because of it, you know, he's willing to sacrifice and go far to the left and do these ex make these extreme uh sign these extreme laws.
