Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity show toll-free.
It's 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Early voting, absentee voting starts in states like Pennsylvania and others, coming up in the next 10 days.
That's how quickly this election is now coming upon us as we are now officially 60 days out of uh these midterms.
Uh one of the things that is emerging is how radical some of these Senate candidates are, and even some of these gubernatorial candidates.
You know, we've been watching the race down in Georgia very, very closely.
And look at, for example, nobody knows about Raphael Warnock's position.
He wants to pack the courts.
He wants to eliminate all cash pal.
Uh this is a guy that once referred to uh police officers as thugs and gangsters, uh, if you can believe it.
Uh he's also, by the way, he wants to dismantle and let free criminals all over the state of Georgia and around the country.
He's one of these, you know, no bail guys.
It's just insane.
Uh he is an accolyte of the racist and anti-Semite Lewis Farrakhan.
He's praised him in the past.
He's praised the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in the past.
Uh he is almost a hundred percent of the time with Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden on Green New Deal Insanity.
Um this is a guy that wants critical race theory uh taught in schools.
Uh this is a guy that has never seen a spending bill that he cares about.
He said that our opioid crisis is uh only a public health merg emergency because the faces of human tragedy are white and suburban.
Uh he's has this issue of a domestic dispute and accusations by his ex-wife that he neglects his children and fails to pay child care expenses, even as his wealth has gone up dramatically.
His eck w ex-wife accused him of harassment and even said that he tried to run over her foot during a domestic dispute.
And as it relates to uh Reverend Jeremiah Wright, you know, he was one of the most vocal defenders of him when he said the Sunday after 911, no, no, no, not God bless America, G D America, G D America, it's in the Bible, etc.
etc.
And he even praised Fidel Castro.
Then you got another radical, and and this guy's in Pennsylvania running against Dr. Oz.
We've been following this case closely.
And by the way, now polls have uh Herschel Walker up in Georgia, and now Dr. Oz, who at one point, according to the polls, was down by double digits, is now within the margin of error.
It's now a close, tight race and getting closer by the day.
And and Fetterman has only been seen about 20 minutes on the campaign trail, didn't want to be seen with Joe Biden during his appearances in the last week.
Uh, you look at his positions, he's another one with no restrictions on abortion.
He wants a moratorium on fracking and energy production, uh, which is an eighty billion dollar industry for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This is a guy that wants to open up prisons and let people free.
This is a guy that sat on the parole board and the board of pardons and let a guy out that that killed an 18-year-old so that they can buy a bag of heroin.
He's all a supporter of uh BLM.
He's a supporter of legalization, decriminalization, even of heroin.
He wants safe injection sites.
I mean, this this guy he wants Pennsylvania to be a sanctuary state, supports sanctuary cities.
Um, and you know, and then you have an incident when he was mayor of a small town.
Now, this this guy's never had a job.
He runs around with tattoos and a hoodie.
He's never had a real job in his life.
He was a mayor of a tiny town that lost like a third of its population.
There's a guy out, an innocent African American man jogging, and he races out with a shotgun, sticks it in his face, and holds him until the police uh arrest this guy for nothing.
Now imagine if, quote, a MAGA Republican did any of this.
He's not answering any questions about his stroke or his health.
He ha was refusing to debate.
Now he says he'll debate, but now he has a list of conditions to debate, so I'm not sure that's ever going to happen.
Anyway, so we're at the point 60 days out to take a look at where we are in the polls.
Uh Joining us, Matt Towery, Insider uh Advantage, as well as John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and Associates.
Uh let's start in the great state of Georgia, Matt Towery, where uh you know that state better than anybody.
You ran for lieutenant governor of that state.
You s you served in the state legislature for a long period of time.
Uh Herschel seems to have made major strides and has now taken a small lead there.
Well, you know, when I got out of politics, I took off my my hat and call it like I see it.
I had Herschel down in fire races.
I now uh poll for Fox Five in Atlanta.
We had this poll yesterday, and Herschel Walker appears to be up by three right now.
So there's been a real turnaround in that race in the last month.
I mean, a phenomenal shift in the state of Georgia.
Uh by the way, Brian Kemp is I think seven or eight in our poll above uh Stacy Abrams, which is a shock because everyone expected Stacy Abrams to be a much stronger candidate.
Maybe she'll become that, but right now there's quite a gap there.
All right, so let's talk about it what happened to Stacy Abrams.
Even Democrats are asking what happened to her campaign four years ago.
It was a much closer race.
Uh what dynamic has changed?
Well, we really don't know.
I mean, she her ads have been sort of uh, you know, not particularly inspiring.
Uh she she's not getting quite as much of the African American vote as she she got last time.
Although I will remind all the listeners that in that 2018 race, Stacey Abrams came on at the last minute.
So anything can change, including in that race.
But right now, she just the the complaint, even among Democrats, is that she seems to not have her heart in it.
Um and so we'll wait and see.
I don't judge these races before they they percolate.
Uh we polled Arizona and and other races, uh, you know, Florida yesterday.
So I'm looking at all the races around the country, and I see the patterns that are emerging, and some of those patterns appear to be favoring some of these Republican candidates now.
Let's get your take, John McLaughlin.
Maybe we'll start in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where that race now is within the margin of error.
People were predicting Oz's demise uh up until recently, and he's clearly rising in the polls, and now people have finally become aware this guy is not capable of even giving a speech, never mind being a senator.
Exactly.
And and what the difference is uh you know, in Georgia, I was down there three weeks ago because we do polling for Speaker Ralston in the House Republican majority.
I saw Brian Kemp and I saw uh uh Herschel Walker.
Herschel gave a great speech, but they're playing offense, they're taking it to the Democrats.
Stacey Abs, you know, went and tried to hit uh Brian Kemp on abortion, and he put up a heck of an ad at her calling her out that she used to be pro-life, now she says she's pro-choice, and she would allow abortion up until the ninth month.
And so he's going after her character.
And in Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz, you know, this guy was trying to fairman.
Granted, uh, we wish him well.
We hope he had a stroke, we hope he gets healthy.
I've said that many times.
I don't wish that on anybody, but the reality is the people need to know the truth, and he's not been forthcoming, and nobody served from his doctors, and they said they'd be back on the campaign trail uh in June, and uh here it is, you know, September, and we're not hearing from the guy.
He hasn't he hasn't answered one question, not one.
And the difference is, you know, like I saw an ad um travel not travel a lot, but I saw an ad from from Philadelphia.
They were going after him that he would let Fetterman would let murderers out.
And you know, and he was bragging about it.
And he's he's a socialist.
He's one of these big government socialists that called him out on the issues.
He now says he's gonna debate.
He was trying not to.
Uh, but Dr. Oz is playing offense.
And the whole formula for the Republicans is they kind of like took August off because we saw the generic vote nationally go from up five Republican, 4843, and in July, and then in August it was 4544 and our 4545 in our last national ball.
But you know, you can't allow the Democrats to set this agenda.
And Joe Biden probably gave the worst presidential speech we've ever seen in the history of the country in Philadelphia.
And he had a rally up in Scranton that nobody showed up at, and four days later, Trump packs the packs uh place in Wilkes Barry uh, you know, with people are hanging from the rafters to try to get to see Donald Trump.
So the base has to get fired up with a strong contrast.
We have to call them out on issues.
We have to label these big government socialists as they are like Setterman.
And when you see Republicans, you know, playing like I've seen Matt's polls that have come out uh where Republicans are either going ahead in Georgia or closing the gap in Arizona and Pennsylvania, et cetera.
Um, you know, it's it's like you said, there's sixty days to go.
Early voting's gonna start.
The Republicans need to get the issues out and need to challenge the Democrats head to head.
Quick break more with our pollsters.
Matt Towery and John McLaughlin on the other side, then we'll get to your calls this Friday, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
You know, prices on everything are rising.
If you want to buy a new car, you're gonna pay above MSRP.
If you're gonna buy a used car, it's inflation, Biden inflation cost.
Uh that puts it up about 30, 40 percent more than it would normally go for.
So a lot of people are very smartly hanging on to their their current cars longer, current trucks longer, and that's where Car Shield protection plans come in for about a hundred bucks a month, they will cover so much in terms of the costly repairs, if God forbid you break down and you're on the road, they cover more parts than ever before, whether you have a new car, five thousand miles on it or a hundred and fifty thousand miles on it.
When you need a repair, your insurance from CarShield will cover it.
Now they'll take care of all the paperwork, all the headaches, all you do is arrange for your car to get fixed.
It's that simple.
And also with CarShield, they take care of everything.
If your car breaks down, every protection plan includes coast to coast roadside assistance, courtesy towing, rental car options at no extra cost.
And guess what?
As long as you own your car, your rate will never ever go up.
Car Shield will have your back if your car breaks down.
Do what I did, get the coverage, go to carshield.com slash Hannity or call Toll Free 800-391-8888.
Mention my name, you save 10%.
That's CarShield.com slash Hannity or 800 391 8888.
All right, as we continue our pollsters, 60 days out of the midterm elections.
Matt Towery and John McLaughlin are with us.
Let's look at the big picture.
Matt Towery, Florida, Marco Rubio, Herschel and Georgia.
Uh you've got Bud in North Carolina.
Uh we've got New Hampshire, which looks like it's going to be the Senate majority leader that's running, apparently very popular, maybe a chance there.
Ron Johnson, Mehmet Oz, J.D. Vance, Eric Schmidt in Missouri.
Uh you've got Laxalt out in uh the great state of Nevada.
You've got Blake Masters in Arizona.
You have some Republicans talking about Colorado.
We did have the Republican candidate on.
We liked him a lot.
I'm not sure if he has a chance, but you know, I think Republicans should make a play for it.
And and then another state that people are looking at as a possibility long shot is Washington State.
When all is said and done and the voting is counted, what is it going to look like in the Senate in your view as of today, 60 days out?
Well, I uh let me just start with an overview.
And this is, I think it's really important.
Uh I said I saw trends coming, and these this is what I see.
John talked about his national poll, which is exactly dead on with my national poll that we did for insider advantages last week, and that is the congressional generic was quote even.
But what I'm finding in these states as I go in one after another, is that in those states, it's not even and it's not even close with regard to the to the uh Biden approval rating, which by the way is crept up in the national polls, as we all know in the last three weeks.
We've seen all these stories that oh Biden's got the wind behind his back.
I heard that this morning.
Well, he doesn't have his win behind the wind behind his back in these battleground states.
He's down ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen points.
So my question is this how can you have a close race in Philadelphia?
I mean in Pennsylvania.
How can you have a close race in Arizona?
How can you have a close race in Florida or a close race anywhere?
If your presidential candidate is twelve to fourteen points down or even more.
And my question would be are these campaigns, I hear all the issues being thrown out, and they're sort of like help-skelter out there.
But the one thing that I don't hear enough of is President Biden's name attached with these candidates.
I think these campaigns are afraid to do it, and they don't realize that's the one thing that's gonna make sure these candidates get across the finish line.
So do I think today the Republicans would take the Senate?
I'd say it's fifty-fifty.
Do I think if they do the right things in the next two months?
And by the way, if they quit fighting among themselves and having all these power centers, and us hearing leaders uh in the Senate putting down our candidates, if they can all get together and quit sniping, I would say that you'll probably see that percentage of likelihood of taking the Senate route.
Let's get your take.
Same question, John McLaughlin.
Well, uh the the key thing here is the wave is still out there.
The Republicans need to take advantage of it.
Matt's point about going after the Democrats, and you often say you even if you're ahead, you run like you're behind.
And the Republicans need to be running like they're behind right now, because they could be.
But 67% of all voters in our last national poll said the country's on the wrong track, and 55% disapprove of Biden.
So in the 10% that's undecided in the generic vote, you had 78% saying the country's on the wrong track, and you have 69% saying they disapprove the job that Biden's doing.
And Trump was ahead of Biden 49 to 45.
Trump is would beat Biden in an election today.
And that poll had 51% of the voters saying that that they had voted for Biden, but they're not going to do it again.
Well, the Republicans need to take advantage of that wrong track, take advantage of Biden negatives, Velcro Biden to every Democrat, which Herschel Walker has been doing in Georgia, which Mevin Oz is now doing in Pennsylvania, and and go after these Democrats for their votes to enable Joe Biden to be the worst president in history, wreck our economy, have inflation go up, open the border, have a national crime wave, and guess what?
He can't let me ask this.
What about what about Kevin McCarthy announcing next week his commitments to America?
Every House candidate will sign it.
Mitch McConnell has been resistant for adopting it in the Senate, but Senate candidates will have the choice to do it on their own.
Will that help?
Yes.
Issues win election.
This is a debate of ideas and issues, as our friend Nick Duke Gingrich has pointed out.
You have to have the interest those there.
Plus, you sent me a thing.
There's this uh Sabados Crystal Ball has this professor from Bu SUNY Buffalo who's well regarded.
His model says the Republicans pick up five seats in the Senate and they pick up thirty-seven in the House.
Well, you gotta run on issues to get there.
Yeah.
Last uh word, uh Matt Towery.
Uh when those commitments to America come out, you and I both were there when Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House.
I was the MC at the Cobb Galleria that night.
That's right.
I was his campaign chairman, and I can tell you this.
Newt gave every candidate something to sink their teeth in and a simple message of principles and and promises that he delivered on in the first hundred days.
I don't know what the problem is over in the Senate.
I don't know Mitch McConnell at all.
But I can tell you one thing.
They better get in the program and get with the program because you can't have five different offerings out there.
You got to get on one message and everyone has to say it.
And that's the same for the Democrats.
I poll even handily.
The Democrats have got to get their act together, and a lot of those candidates are going to have to decide.
They don't need Joe Biden in their campaign ads, or they're going down.
Well, it's clear they're running away from him as quickly as they can.
Uh nobody wanted to be seen with him when he was out campaigning in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania last week, and I think that speaks volumes, doesn't it?
Yeah, absolutely.
All right, Matt Towery and John McLaughlin, thank you both for being with us.
We appreciate it.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Thanks for being with us.
So Sunday, it will be 21 years since 911, 2001.
My daughter was born just 13 days prior to that.
She's now 21 years old.
So that's how you know it goes by so fast.
And I know and I hope that a lot of you, I'm sure there'll be a a lot of coverage, especially on like Nat Geo and and the History Channel and places like that.
I hope you get time to reflect and watch some of the specials so you are reminded.
I said this yesterday, I'm gonna say it again today.
We have now been catching people that are on terror watch lists at our border with regularity since Joe Biden's open border policies.
That means that there are terrorist cells live in our country right now.
Because you can't tell me that the overwhelmed border patrol caught every one of them.
I doubt it.
I think it's a impossibility.
So we have to assume the worst.
And unfortunately, we have forgotten.
We should never forget.
You know, Darrell Worley had a hit song, Have You Forgotten, and we put some sound to it.
And I hope by listening to this, you all remember, because 60 days from now we can stop this insanity at our border, stop these insane energy policies, stop these insane economic policies, stop our adherence to climate Alarmism, the the cult of climate alarmism, and we can get this country begin the process of getting this country back on track.
Have you forgotten?
Americans do not yet have the distance of history.
But our responsibility to history is already clear.
To answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.
I hear people say we don't need this war.
We protest this war and it's not a war athlete as slaughter.
I say there's some things worth fighting for.
We are very grateful and thankful that we live in a country where there's freedom of speech that people who are either for or against a war can speak out.
What about our freed?
Everything else went black.
And this piece of ground.
Everything came down.
We didn't get to keep them by backing down.
Glass up popping.
People got hurt.
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Oh, there it goes.
There it goes.
Here it goes.
Before you start your preaching, let me ask you this, my friend.
Have you forgotten?
Oh my god.
Oh, the next building is just the world.
Oh my God.
Another plane.
Just to it.
The explosion is incredible.
Have you forgotten?
I saw this plane come out of nowhere and just right into the side of the twin tower, exploding through the other side.
There's been an act of war declared upon America by terrorists.
You forgot.
I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us.
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
I'm gonna die right now.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm gonna die right now.
Say your prayers.
I'm gonna die.
It's so hot.
I'm burning up.
Help!
Have you forgotten?
Dozens of residents that are sitting on the hills behind the Pentagon, almost like they're waiting for the Fourth of July fireworks, but instead they're staring dumbfounded at what like what looks like a war zone.
I mean, see bodies flying out of the sky, and you can't do nothing about it.
You tell me.
There's no words to describe what's going on out there.
Have you forgotten?
America's a nation full of good fortune.
with so much to be grateful for, but we are not spared from suffering.
In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom.
They have attacked America because we are freedom's home and defender.
Have you forgotten And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.
That's Darrell Warley.
Uh and what a reminder.
Now we're gonna talk to our friend uh Frank Siller at the top of the hour with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
They've never forgotten.
And anyway, and we'll play that song that I know everybody loves.
We play it every year for Michael W. Smith.
Uh let's get to our phones.
We got Greg in the Free State of Florida.
Greg, how are you?
Glad you called.
I don't know if you heard your governor Ron DeSantis on the show this week, but um big race for him down there.
Very important race for him and for Senator Marco Rubio, who we are also supporting.
Absolutely, and hello to you too, uh Sean.
Um yeah, I mean, I I I was thrilled to hear uh song and uh very proud to call a law governor, that's for sure.
Um I was actually calling to talk about the self-defense uh you know conversation you had mentioned yesterday, um, as far as uh whether it's women or you have believe police should learn it as well.
Um I think jujitsu is a fantastic form of martial art that is highly effective.
Um, going I I I've seen I've been doing it since I was thirteen, I'm 43 now.
I have seen girls that are like eighteen, nineteen years old.
So you're a black belt, you're you're a serious martial artist.
Did you practice uh Brazilian jiu-jitsu or Japanese jiu-jitsu?
No, Brazilian.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Yeah.
I do an eclectic blend of varying arts, so it's crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, I was just gonna say I went to one of the schools of voice crazy and stuff, and um but the bottom line is is that you know uh there's a as as we all know there's a lot of defensive classes for you know anyone to take but uh with jujitsu, I mean at some point sooner or later, whether it's a fight or someone being attacked, the chances of both falling to the ground are highly likely.
And at that point, you may not be able to get away, they may pin you down to whatever the case may be, but if you learn s uh specific techniques, then you know you're you have a much higher chance of survival.
So and then I also think that with the police, um, you know, if they would do a little bit more training, um, you know, you would see probably less lethal um you know interactions with certain criminals.
You know, look, um all I'm saying is, and what I was saying specifically yesterday is uh look, I I do this, this is my workout, but it's also become a passion and it's hard, and I've gotten strong, and I've I do an eclectic blend of of arts, krav maga, Japanese jujitsu, uh Kenpo, uh, and situational street fighting, and and we do self-defense of you know, sticks, blades, firearms.
We practice all of it and a combination of boxing as well.
And I do it as a workout, and I also do it for self-defense.
All I'm all I'm asking people in this audience to do and urging, especially women to do, and I say this in light of a lot of the crimes that I mentioned earlier in the week, is have a plan to even if it's one lesson, even one lesson might save your life.
And for example, what what I tell people when they ask me, and I don't give a lot of advice, medical advice or financial advice, but I'll give self-defense advice in this sense, is you're not necessarily you know, going to be like you are a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu.
But if people can learn how certain targeted strikes to escape, the goal is not to even win the fight.
The goal is to escape.
Say a mom with a child, you know, if uh if you did an eye poke, a simple eye poke, or or s you know, simple targeted strike to the trake, something like that, or a shot to the carotid, um, you could probably get out of there or or an eye gouge even.
Um if you know a few simple things like that, if you can throw a kick to their private parts, guess what?
You probably can escape.
So certain things I just want people to have a plan because obviously, you know, police now uh they're departments defunded, dismantled, no bail laws, all these criminals, violent criminals we're letting out on the street, it's more dangerous than it's ever been, and I don't want people I want people to have some options.
And whatever you do, if somebody's gonna try and get you into a vehicle, my advice uh what I tell my daughter, and you can talk to your self-defense uh expert friends or or police officers, whoever you want, my advice is if it's gonna be me, I'm dying right there, right in that spot.
Mm-hmm.
I'm not getting in that car.
Well, Sean, the other thing I wanted to say, and I'll let you know you got other callers, but um at the end of the day and what I tell the those that are, you know, uh just getting into the art or anything else, at the end of the day, don't try to be a hero.
Like you said, just get out of there, you know, but don't try to be a hero.
Greg, let me tell you situations I've been in where I'm confronted.
I I put myself in a very, very at ease, non-confrontational posture, and I start walking backwards.
And if I had to, even if I knew I was on camera, if it meant getting away from a confrontation, I'd run.
And I'm not a coward.
I'm actually more afraid of what I do to them.
And I don't want that situation.
I know.
And people probably are laughing at that and they're saying, No, that's that's ridiculous, Hannity.
I'm like, I've been training for ten years, an hour and a half a day.
I know how to defend myself.
I don't want to ever hurt anybody.
I would run away to protect them and protect myself too.
And I'd I'd have no shame in that at all.
Run.
All right.
Appreciate the call, my friend.
Ooh, thank you, sir.
Uh Wade is in San Diego.
Linda's laughing.
Why do you think that that is so funny that I'd be willing to run away?
You've seen it because you're non confrontational when it fits you.
Yeah, I just I I go the opposite direction.
Can I buy you a drink?
Um I'm not I'm all for it right now.
Listen, I wish that someone who was about to attack me would then flip the script and say, you know what, you want to get a cocktail, let's do cocktails, let's talk this out.
Let's have a copy.
A lot a lot I always say this, if if we didn't put in R and a D or a race and all the assign all these identity politics to people, we would be able to do a lot of amazing things, like work out all our problems.
You know, at the end of the day, I hate everybody equally.
It works out very nice for me.
And this is the way that I live my life.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that everybody should subscribe to the Linda McLaughlin uh way of life.
It would be much it would be a much more peaceful planet.
Listen, I am I mean for me to say that as somebody that trains, you know, most people that train have no problem just standing up saying, What?
And well, honestly, I think a lot of people agree with you because they're afraid you're gonna kick their ass.
I don't think you should get them being pliable to them being afraid.
You know, it's the same thing.
The other thing that ha this happens, for example, Chuck Liddell, the Iceman Liddell, because of who he was, you know, one of the greatest of all time in terms of an MMA fighter.
Dude, he is legit legit.
And and people are like, come on, Chuck, hit me.
And he's like, No, I don't want to hit you.
Well, that's just stupid because for a living.
It's like so this is like the the most dumbest thing ever is when people say, Oh my God, Sean Hannity has like the easiest life ever.
Like he just talks and I'm like, Do you have any idea how many trees have died preparing for the show?
How much paperwork surrounds surrounds this man.
I mean, seriously, there are days we are on remote, and I'm like, you're like, could you get me another desk?
I'm like, Yeah, let me just call down to engineering.
Let me bring in another desk, another trash can, another whatever.
I mean, it's out of control.
I've never seen anything like it.
Well, that's how we prepare.
That's how we do our show.
Quick break, we'll come back, more of your calls 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
First, I need to remind you about our friends at Hillsdale College.
You know, back in the good old days, Americans used to argue about, you know, what policies we should be pursuing to improve the great country we love.
Now, too often today we're finding ourselves arguing about whether our country is great or not, and whether or not we should love America or whether we should be ashamed of America.
Our kids are getting indoctrinated in schools.
Now, the reason for this is simple, for far too many years, far too many schools have been neglecting to teach our young kids about America's great heritage of liberty and freedom, and presenting them instead with a dishonest narrative, not a complete narrative, not a polyannish narrative, the good and the bad should be taught of America.
And if you taught that every day, you begin to believe it.
Hillsdale College is now weighing in for America.
They're offering their latest free online course, The Great American Story, A Land of Hope.
And they're also offering Constitution 101, the meaning and the history of the Constitution.
You're going to learn so much.
And as we get closer to Constitution Day, that's September the 17th.
I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses.
It's absolutely free.
Encourage your friends and families uh to sign up as well.
We have a special website.
It's Sean for Hillsdale.com.
That's S-E-A-N F-O-R Hillsdale, one word dot com.
Sean for Hillsdale.com.
All right, back to our busy phones.
Wade is in San Diego.
Kogo Radio, what's up, uh Wade?
How are you, sir?
Glad you called.
So just a couple things.
A retired police officer of City of San Diego and now a police officer on the federal side.
A lot of differences, but you know, one of the things that I want to mention is we raise our right hand.
We swear an oath to defend the Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies.
And at what point, and I'm not advocating any violence at all, let me go ahead and state that.
At what point, though, do we start taking and holding our politicians accountable?
Voting is not working.
They're insider trading.
And I'm not going to say one side or the other.
I I think both sides are doing it.
They do not have our best interest in.
So how as a nation of people on both sides of the aisle, do we fix the problems here in this this state alone, we have to do that.
The only system we have is through the ballot box.
We don't now, that's why I've been talking about election integrity so much and the states and what measures they should adopt.
Um, you know, it says you you're you're saying you're a police officer.
Um it is it is sad the position that you are being put in every single day.
You're risking your life, and you have to Ask yourself why some days.
And and yet there's a way to do it and to do it effectively and to follow the the rule of law and know what's acceptable in terms of force and what's not acceptable.
You know, the hard thing for everybody is that this if you ever see an arrest where there's any resistance at all whatsoever, it's never gonna look good on camera.
It will never look good.
Because by its very nature, they are creating a confrontational moment.
Now, for me, and I've been pulled over, this goes back years ago.
I used to have a heavy foot when I was younger.
I don't have one now.
I've I've not been pulled over in years and years and years.
But when a cop would pull me over, yes, sir, yes, officer, put my hands outside the my car.
If I had a firearm on me, I would immediately inform the officer that I have a license carry permit, and I have a loaded weapon in the car, and inform that person immediately so he knows exactly what he's dealing with.
And only one time did I have a guy that was a jackass, and he just maybe had a bad day.
I don't know.
But everybody else is cool.
Look, you you can't think about the what the results are gonna be.
Right now, you just gotta do the right thing.
And if enough of us vote in 60 days, we can turn things around.
That's where the hope is.
All right, 800-941 Sean.
We'll get to more of your calls.
Our friend Frank Siller will join us at the top of the hour uh as we continue.
