This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, news Roundup Information Overload.
We're in Georgia today.
We have a town hall tonight, 9 Eastern on Hannity on the Fox News Channel with Herschel Walker and a number of special guests that we won't tell you about, but it's worth tuning in.
Wednesday, we will be with Dr. Oz at Town Hall there in Pennsylvania, and special guest at that town hall also.
But this brings us to what we are now a mere 22 days until election day.
22 days.
That means a week, three weeks from tomorrow, you get to decide whether or not we are going to stay the course of stupidity and failure, or if we're going to change things around.
If America's going to stop taking on water and sinking it as a country under this, you know, Green New Deal, climate alarmist cultism that is destroying our economy with record high inflation, record high gas prices, out of control borders that we have in the country, a disastrous foreign policy.
It's just there's not one thing I can refer to that I would say or identify as a Biden success.
Now the key is I I believe the House is pretty well situated for the Republican state to take control.
With that, by the way, comes subpoena power, and that means they can run investigations uh into all things the FBI that we were just talking about earlier with Greg Jarrett.
That means zero experience hunter.
Uh that means Joe Biden acting unconstitutionally with his quote, student loan forgiveness program, Joe Biden not enforcing the laws at our border.
There's a lot of work that they can get done, and hopefully we can solidify the victory two years later.
Republicans in the House are running on their commitments to America.
The commitments to America are basically the entire America first, make America great again agenda.
This is what we need to get this country back on track because those are the simple, basic, fundamental conservative principles that we work, that we know work.
That means liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution.
That means lower taxes, less government.
That means law and order and safety, security in every town and every city.
So that means people can pursue happiness.
That means uh we enforce the laws of the land and we secure our southern border.
Well, you know, 90% of the fentanyl, 90% of opioids are coming into this country.
That would also mean that we will have a country that will get off its hands and knees and kissing the ass and kissing the ring of people like MBS, the Pariah Nation of Saudi Arabia, or other OPEC nations, or the Venezuelan murdering dictator thug there, Maduro, uh, or trying to work a deal with the Iranians and getting rejected again and again and again.
And by the way, now gas prices, yep, it's up to $8 in some places in California, and it's going higher.
We now see national averages around the country well above $5 in many states, and now about $4 a gallon, because I told you the band-aid solution was never going to work.
So the question is now will the Republicans be able to perform well enough in the midterms in these very key Senate races.
We've got Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina.
We got I'm not worried about John Kennedy, Louisiana.
I'm not worried about Rand Paul.
Uh, I'm not really worried that much about Marco Rubio.
Um, but we have potential pickups.
I mean, we have to hold North Carolina.
We have to pick up in Georgia.
Uh Tim Scott will win in South Carolina.
We're not worried about him.
I'm looking at a maybe a really outside shot in the state of Connecticut.
We're going to bring in the Republican Senate candidate probably this week on this show and introduce you to that candidate uh that has taken on Blumenthal.
Then we have to win Pennsylvania.
As of right now, Dr. Oz has gone from being down double digits.
It is now a neck and neck race, and he's beginning to pull away.
The more people learn about the radical uh John Fetterman, the more they don't like him.
Same thing in Wisconsin.
Ron Johnson pulling away from Mandela Barnes, who's basically on his hands and knees begging Barack Obama to come in and rescue the day there.
J.D. Vance has to win in Ohio.
Eric Schmidt has to win in Missouri.
Adam Laxalt has to win in Nevada.
Blake Masters has a tough race.
He's got a libertarian that's going to draw heavily in that race.
Uh you're wasting your vote in Arizona if you're voting for the Libertarian candidate.
I'm not trying to be rude.
I'm giving you political truth and political reality.
Uh, there are other races that we're watching very closely.
Joe O'Day in Colorado.
Uh we're watching out in the state of Washington, uh, Tiffany Smiley and her race.
Uh, we see Tudor Dixon can actually beat Gretchen Whitmer.
They're now tied 44 44.
Big races here.
Anyway, to give a snapshot of where we are in this race, we bring our polsters in, just 22 days out.
John McLaughlin, founder of McLaughlin Associates.
Matt Towery is with us, pollster, insider advantage, syndicated columnist.
Let me start Matt with you.
Overall, I'll tell you the races I'm most worried about.
I'm worried I'm in Georgia today.
I think this is going to be a tight race.
We don't really have you're going to release a poll before TV as I understand it tonight as it relates to that race.
You have any insight?
Well, it's exclusive to your show, so we're going to tell people to watch your show to see what the results are.
I'm seeing the numbers we're going through the crosstaps right now.
Let me just put it this way.
That is a very tight race in Georgia.
And I think the issue is going to be that the incumbent cannot get over 47%, no matter what.
And I don't have the final numbers yet, but my my view is that that race is tightening.
Um and it should be very interesting what the results show tonight.
So let me look, I'm worried about John McLaughlin, Georgia, I'm worried about North Carolina, I'm worried about Pennsylvania, I'm worried about Ohio, I'm worried about Nevada, I'm worried about New Hampshire.
I forgot uh uh General uh Bullduck.
I think he's got a chance there.
Um I'd like to see Colorado, Washington uh as an outside shot, uh, and I'm worried about Blake Masters in in Arizona.
Where do you see those races headed?
Well, I think I I overall uh the New York Times has a poll that 64% of all voters think the country's on the wrong track, which means they're catching up with us.
We're gonna release a poll tomorrow that 65% say all voter the of all voters think that uh the country's on the wrong track.
And uh they're actually voting generically for a Republican last month we had the Republican up 4844.
This month uh they're up six.
So 4943.
So what's happening is we've got 22 days to go, and we have to run like we're behind, but there's a there's a surge coming that the Democrats have this country on the wrong track.
It's Joe Biden's fault, it's his Democrats' fault.
And all these close races where you've got these toss-up Senate races, if they feel that same nationalization, and these are battleground states when you think about Georgia.
Uh Herschel Walker's pollster tweeted out earlier today that they've got to poll more information that uh they're up two points, 46-44.
It's a close race, anyway you look at it.
These close races in 22 days, if our vote comes out the way they seem to be coming out, it appears that the Republicans will win the Senate as well as the House, and the House they'll win decisively.
Well, I hope so.
Let's go through the states you're most worried about, Matt Towery.
Well, the ones that I'm polling for the Fox affiliates are uh Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, uh doing Nevada, and probably uh have another poll coming out in a few other states coming up, uh North Carolina being one.
The ones we're concentrating on, I think Florida Rubio is in good shape.
Georgia is is a tug of war, but but probably worse that could happen to Walker's being a runoff, and now the rules have changed.
I think he would be the favorite to win that runoff.
North Carolina looks good, it could get a little tight.
Pennsylvania, we see Oz coming up.
I think that's a neck and neck race, but as you alluded to earlier, um there's certainly a lot of progress on Oz's part as people see what Fetterman's all about.
Arizona, Masters is really moving up as well.
You know, he's been starved for cash because a lot of the RNC big deals with the Senate that didn't want and don't want him to have any money, but he's getting it anyway.
That's a close race.
Um, by the way, I read that Peter Thiel is jumping in to help Blake Masters out.
Obviously, Peter Thiel, you know, could throw a hundred million dollars into it without batting an eyelas.
Well, I think that's been master's problem there because he had a really good debate, but uh it you know, he just when you're star for cash and you're at the last four weeks, you gotta have infusion, apparently he's getting it.
Uh then I would say Ron Johnson's good in Wisconsin.
It looks like he'll be in good shape.
Um so to me, the Nevada pickup, which we're expecting of Laxall, along with Johnson uh returning, winning North Carolina.
If Oz pulls off Pennsylvania or if if Herschel ends up winning Georgia, then really you just need an Arizona and really just Nevada to get you to above fifty.
So the repu I I can just in it with us.
But you need but you need some fallbacks and you're also presuming that JD Vance do we have any worry about JD Vance at all?
I'm not concerned about JD Vance at all.
I think the some of the Republican folks out of DC have tried to act like they needed to get money to J Vance but I'm not sure it was really going to go to JD in the first place.
I think he's in good shape.
But what I will say I'll say this.
You're gonna watch in the next few weeks one of two things happen.
Either there's going to be some outrageous October surprise that we can't even imagine right now to try to repress Republican voters from going to the poll or this is going to be the biggest tsunami that I've seen since nineteen ninety four when I was Newt Gingrich's chairman and you were there with me that night when he won the speakership, Sean.
That would be big.
Quick break, we'll come back more with our pollsters Matt Towery, insider advantage, John McLaughlin, McLaughlin and associates, uh from Georgia, Town Hall with Herschel Walker tonight on Hannity on Fox, set your D V R. Uh listen, if you've ever received a uh derogatory or aggressive email text, social media message from someone that you don't know, um it could be cyber stalking.
It's a serious crime that can take many, many forms including blackmail, false accusations, tracking your location, posting hateful statements about you, publishing your private information, even threats of violence by the way, welcome to the world of Hannity.
That's our lives.
Uh but it's serious when it happens and it happens quite a bit.
This is where lifelog dot com by Norton, they will see all of these threats uh that we will never pick up on our own, these people that use any method possible to steal your identity, uh if in fact any of your personal information ever gets compromised, you'll get an alert and if you are a victim of identity theft you'll get a dedicated US based restoration specialist who fix it for you.

Lifelock dot com.
We continue from Georgia with our polls Matt Towery and uh John McLaughlin uh looking forward twenty two days now outside of these all important midterms.
Where do you see the most where are you most concerned, John McLaughlin in terms of these Senate races?
Uh you know, right now it's it's like uh you're you're right where the heart of the action is today in Georgia because you know I used to poll for Governor Deal down there and I polled for years in Georgia and they can't get away from each other that the parties are in that kind of an equilibrium.
So d so that one is going to be close and it could be a runoff state.
So uh you know there it's a situation of uh you know if Herschel can do better with say uh you mean a runoff because you got the libertarian in Georgia correct?
Yes, correct and and and by the way let me just say something about the libertarian aspect of Georgia.
Neil Bortz was on the air forty years here as a one of the strongest libertarian voices in the country and there's still plenty of Bortz fans in Georgia that that I think might go libertarian which would be a runoff situation for Herschel and I I'd say if it's a runoff Herschel odds on favorite.
Yes and and and the and the other part about that is we used to always have like when Governor Deal was running we'd have the Libertarian at you know two, three percent, etcetera because we didn't give them another choice.
We we we ran against uh uh the Democrat that that they were wrong on the issues.
Herschel did that in the debate and when you think about it, like if he can get more voters who are particularly those that were not born and raised in the South that live in Metro Atlanta that realize that hey you move there for a reason.
It's a low tax state it's a state where you you know the police you know kept law and order etc.
If you want somebody who's right on the issues, you have to vote for Herschel.
And in these other states it's the same way.
Inflation coming up every every campaign that I'm delivering a poll and I'm calling around to campaigns multiple times a day delivering poll numbers and I'm saying them so what's the price of gas that you paid today?
And they're telling me it's all going up.
And people are telling me horror stories about going to the supermarkets and and you hear businesses about supply chain issues.
So inflation is the driving you know, the driving economic issue right now.
And then a lot of these places in the country, like in New York, with Lee Zelda being a close race now being rated toss up for governor in a two to one Democrat state where it's about uh crimes, it's about safety.
I mean, you have this cashless bail is crazy in New York and and the amount of crime that we have.
So that's become a national issue, and not just in New York, but uh across the country.
So uh I think that that's something that the Republicans are running on with success.
And uh, you know, the Democrats are responsible.
They have all these sale policies that are that the voters are turning on right now.
So whether this turns out to be like nineteen ninety four as Matt's talking about where you get a Republican tsunami or twenty twelve, where the Democrats come up with some sort of Obama like move where they they were able to, you know, t uh defeat, you know, uh Mitt Romney at the last moment.
That's what the last twenty-two days are about.
Mitt Romney defeated himself, which brings me to Utah, where you've got this egg McMuffin guy, Evan McMullen that is running.
The problem is he's apparently within five by trying to be somebody that everybody know with a brain knows he's not.
He's not a conservative.
And Mitt Romney, I think what he did in what he's doing, uh in this case to Senator Mike Lee, uh, is beyond damaging.
Uh do we have to worry at all about Utah, Matt Towery?
No.
What we have to worry about is that the Republicans get the majority in the Senate, they still have to deal with Mitt Romney.
Well, two years from now, uh Jason Chaffetz, I think would be a very formidable candidate for in a primary against Mitt Romney, no doubt about it.
Um but you have all these democratic organizations, they don't have a Democrat running in in Utah.
They conceded the loss.
So they run somebody that says he's an independent, but he's getting all his money from Democratic groups, Matt Towery.
And I and I'll tell you right now, it's dirty politics at its worst.
And you know that behind the scenes, it's my strong belief that Mitt Romney's up to his eyeballs in this.
Well, uh let's just put it this way.
I'm a polster and I used to write an opinion column every week for newspapers.
If I were writing an opinion column right now, I would not have anything nice to write about Mitt Romney.
He's he's not been helpful to the Republican Party.
He's not really even helpful to himself because having been the standard bearer of the party and now coming across as as being so blatantly maniacal in the way he goes about doing things, he he's just not winning anybody.
Probably will have a hard time getting re elected uh the next nine in Utah.
All right.
We really appreciate both of you being with two days to go.
Matt Towery, Insider Advantage, John McLaughlin, McLaughlin Associates.
We'll be checking in uh often throughout uh the next uh three weeks on this program, see where we are, and then it's game time.
Every American, you know what's at stake.
I cannot possibly in words convey the urgency that I'm feeling about this election.
You know, get yourself engaged, get your friends engaged, get your family engaged, get anybody you can run into engaged.
I 25 now to the top of the hour, 800 nine four one Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program coming to you from the great state of Georgia.
Many people may not remember, but I was here four years, had four great years in Atlanta.
Uh anyway, we're here for a town hall tonight.
It'll be on Hannity, nine Eastern with Harshell Walker and special guests that I'm not gonna tell you about.
What?
You you said you had four great years here.
I did.
Didn't they ask you to leave?
No, that's not a Didn't they write an article in the paper asking you to leave?
No, they didn't no little if you want the truth to be ho told.
I would love the truth to be told.
I just started on October seventh, my twenty-seventh year on the Fox News Channel.
I left Atlanta to go on Fox News.
Uh huh.
And then I ended up getting hired at the ex-wife radio station in New York.
Okay.
And I did eleven to two at night for a year, and then I went to afternoon drive.
Okay.
So the Atlanta Journal Constitution had an article at the end of the year.
Nineteen ninety-six was a great year for two reasons.
The Olympics came and Sean Hannity left.
Uh-huh.
What part of what part of the four years was this?
Is this the end?
Yeah, but that's your final farewell was pleased.
I was already gone by that time because it was the year end edition.
Uh-huh.
But it wasn't as bad as when I left Huntsville.
When I left Huntsville, Alabama, the local paper there wrote uh editorial.
Uh-huh.
Goodbye to the talk show host from Hell.
Oh, subtle.
I know.
Southern hospitality, huh?
I'm trying to understand.
It was I almost had as thick an accent at that point in my career as you do now.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Everyone else has a terrible accent.
Say coffee.
It's coffee.
It's talking, and we're here in Georgia.
Georgia.
Say it again, Georgia.
Georgia.
Georgia.
You sound like a Georgia Pete Sandwich.
I walked in.
I said, How is everybody doing?
They're like, oh.
How are you doing?
I even from Linda from New York.
I didn't even say that.
I just said, How are you doing?
And they're like, okay.
It's you're in the back.
Around the corner.
You're not loved.
All right, before we get to our phones here, I want to go back to where we were earlier in the uh program today.
Um I don't know what it is about Joe and the sniffing of young girls' hair.
It just when I would run those montages on TV, I can't take it.
It just creeps me out.
Creepy Joe.
Can we talk about what where is that girl's mother?
And rubbing the shoulders.
Why are you sniffing the hair?
Why?
Exactly.
By the way, I can't stand people when you have conversations that are all over me with the freaking hands of my.
I'm like, I can't take it.
Don't touch me.
I've actually been in the room with you.
It may it makes me want to go.
It's hilarious to watch because people come up, oh Sean Anity, you're my favorite.
And they get very close, and you're like, yeah, I'm more of a space person.
If you could just offline whatever you want, we can shake hands, but you need to be over there.
Shake hands and we're done.
Yeah, no, he's disgusting.
But there are people listen, I I, for example, you can see it like bars, girls that are always touching guys.
A guy's interpreting that the the way that a guy would interpret it.
Because that girl is sending a message.
Okay.
I don't know for sure.
I'm assuming her motives are pure.
What do I know?
Oh, okay.
It's not exactly my scene.
Okay.
But Joe doing it is creepy.
He's rubbing their shoulders, sniffing their hair.
And then he tells this young girl, uh, oh, no serious guys until you're 30.
Now, by the way, it's a joke that I've used.
No dating until you're 30.
Yeah, but you're not gently massaging the strange.
No, I'm not, I'm not touching them.
I mean, it's it's to me, it is creepy.
It's beyond creepy.
I mean, in this day and age, I mean, I think it would be considered, you know, harassment, assault, you know, unwanted touching.
I mean, where are the memories?
Bella, you're agreeing with us.
We can't hear you unless you're out in something called the microphone.
Yeah.
Bella would not be a little bit more.
Bella would not want Joe on her shoulders.
No.
And so Chris.
Bella said it's so cringe.
Yeah, so cringe.
Is that how it said today?
Yeah.
All right.
If you want to talk, you have to go over there.
She's got some things to say.
All right.
So that here's Biden saying creepy Joe's back.
Let's put it that way.
Look at Dan.
Very important thing.
I told my daughter and granddaughters.
No serious guys in the 30s.
No serious guys to your 30s.
Don't keep on that.
How old were those girls?
Not old enough for him.
She's not old enough for anybody.
And then the other big thing, and then we'll get to the phones.
Joe Biden, our economy is strong as hell as he's shoving more ice cream down his throat.
Inflation is a worldwide problem.
Now we've gone from it's Trump cause it or Putin caused it.
Everybody in the world causes it.
Fox News caused it.
Sean Antony caused it.
Everybody causes it but him.
Him and Pooh, him and Pete Buddha judge, same line.
Listen.
Just one more economic one.
I'm concerned about the strength of the dollar right now.
Oh, God.
I'm not concerned about the truth.
I'm concerned about the rest of the world.
Yes.
Our economy is strong as hell.
Inflation is worldwide.
So the problem is the lack of growth sound policy.
Other countries, not as much.
That's worldwide inflation.
Forecasting is uh by its nature something that is a little bit uncertain.
What we know is that that's political spin.
Well, look, I I don't think anybody could argue that, for example, our unemployment numbers are anything But strong as hell.
They're under four percent.
That almost never happens.
We're uh at or near the definition of full employment.
We also don't have any illusions about the challenges that Americans face with prices.
Unbelievable.
All right, let's hit our busy phones.
Uh Dennis is in Arizona.
Dennis High, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
Now I just wanted to talk a little bit about this uh upcoming election here in Arizona.
We have uh some real strong candidates at the top.
We got Kerry Lake, like Masters, uh Attorney General Abe Hamiday.
These are three solid Republican conservatives that are gonna turn Arizona like Florida.
We're we're hope so an awesome stuff.
I'm worried about Blake Masters because he's got this libertarian out there that's what that's drawing votes away from him.
He's he's gonna be fine.
You saw what he did to Kelly in a debate.
Okay.
I did.
The guy the guy can walk, talk, and shoe gum same time.
He's he's an excellent, excellent young man.
He he is the real deal.
Uh and I think a lot of people down here are gonna vote uh down ballot.
They're gonna start with Kerry and just keep going.
They really are.
We've we've had it.
Arizona, I moved here sixteen years ago.
I hope so.
Wonderful state of California.
Uh Arizona was beginning to look like California.
But you know what?
It's starting to look a lot better.
Everybody in Arizona and everybody in the country ask yourself, are you better off with Joe Biden as your president?
And if you say yes, I'd like to know specifically where you're better off.
I mean, I I gave out all the economic statistics earlier in the program.
I won't do it again now, but it is an unmitigated disaster, and every American is suffering as a result of this.
The loss of wealth is now in double digits in the trillions, not billions, not millions, trillions.
And we can't afford to allow this to continue anymore.
And in 22 days, I keep reminding all of you.
If you don't participate, go all in and do everything you can possibly do, you're gonna end up with the government you deserve, and it's gonna get worse.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, Dennis out in Arizona.
Uh let us say hi to uh Chuck is in Reno, Nevada.
What's up, Chuck?
How are you?
Got a great Senate candidate out there, and Adam Laxalt.
I think he's got a really good chance of winning.
Yes, he does.
Hey, uh Sean, I wanted to talk specifically about some uh some uh facts about search warrants in relation to like Merilagos warrant and all these warrants that we're talking about.
I'd like to kind of like to know is it was it a knock warrant?
Was it a no-knock warrant?
Was it a daytime service only warrant?
Um was there surveillance on the target prior to the warrant being issued?
And what what was the emergency?
Was there pre-surveillance?
And I also would have to do that.
There was no emergency.
Right.
There was none whatsoever.
If you look at it objectively and you ask yourself on the level of importance, where should this be?
All right, so what I've learned is every administration there's chaos when a president leaves office.
You know, you put a lot of Adam Schiff in a box, and the box gets sent to uh location A, B, C, and D. And then at some point, the National Archives and Record Administration, they want whatever documents or that are required sent back, and they work with the people to make that happen.
Now, then apparently they had made progress because in January of this year, or January or February, I'm pretty sure it was January.
The NARA ended up sending a letter to the Trump people thanking them for their cooperation.
And then in June of this this year, FBI guys showed up there and they wanted to see what remained in terms of boxes.
They were shown exactly where they were, is my understanding.
And they're the ones that then a couple of days later requested that they put a padlock on it, and Trump said, sure, we'll put a padlock on it.
They put a padlock on it.
And then they come running in and have this raid that was approved by Merrick Garland.
Now, I don't know what they have, what they don't have.
They say they found a hundred top secret classified documents in the what the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of papers that were there.
All right, maybe they did.
On Hillary Clinton's email, we have James Comey himself admitting she on her private servers, it's just an electronic version of it, had top secret, marked at the time, classified at and top secret information on her servers.
And she had more than what they found in the rate of Donald Trump's Mar a Lago.
And my question is, why didn't they go after her?
Why wasn't it such a big deal then?
Now the bottom line is I guess if look, I know Donald Trump.
Donald Trump isn't going to go sorting through boxes to find you know what Adam Schiff might be in it.
I mean, he doesn't care.
He's not going to do that.
He's going to spend his days playing golf and enjoying it.
He's not going to be reading through boxes.
So I, you know, we keep reading that they might now they think they might have left some boxes.
Is it not every box has been turned over?
I don't it's the whole thing to me is a mess.
And, you know, at this point, it's just one more example of a dual justice system.
Democrats get treated one way, Republicans get treated an entirely different way.
And you know what?
We better get to the bottom of it because if we don't, we're not going to have a country.
Every law we have as a country is based on our constitution.
It's rooted in our constitution.
And now we know that everybody in the FBI, they knew they wouldn't get a FISA application approved without Hillary's bought and paid for dirty dossier, and they knew it was unfair fiable because the guy that uh wrote it, had it put it together, was offered a million dollars in early October 2016 to corroborate it.
He couldn't do it.
He didn't get the million.
And he didn't get the million because he didn't have the evidence.
And yet they used it anyway to go and and ruin Carter Page's life and spy on a presidential candidate.
And then they did it three other times, so that's a full year, you know, from the time Donald Trump ran until you know nine months into his presidency.
Anyway, thanks for the call.
Appreciate it.
Uh let's say hi to Kim in Texas.
Kim, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, and uh God bless Texas.
Yes, the great Republic of Texas.
Thank you for taking my call.
I need to talk about the new labor department ruling where they clas they're gonna reclassify independent contractors.
And they're doing this because they want to help us.
But um, but this law, this this uh uh the the document they put out is 148 pages.
The first 120 of it is case law, and they just feel like that this area of labor is um is underdeveloped, and they want to flesh it out.
And the they use different standards to for a contractor in different court cases, but what they're wanting to go back to is what's called the ABC rule.
And basically the worker has to be uh free of control of uh the entity in order not to be considered an employee.
But what they're trying to do is erase a lot of of contractors, self-employed contractors, and putting it in the middle of the year.
In other words, 1099 and turn them into and put them and make them employees, right?
Yes.
Let me give you a list of what they specifically listed.
Most of these I don't have a lot of time, but give it truck drivers.
Yeah, real quick.
We need this on our icon.
I mean, our economy cannot take this.
This will pull the legs out from under our economy.
Satellite installers, freelance workers, any gig delivery driver, any, they still hold down.
If you do this to Uber drivers, for example, nobody's gonna be an Uber driver.
If you do this to truck drivers, you know, they get to deduct their meals, they get to deduct their their gas, they get to deduct repairs.
Um that's a big that's a that's a big chunk of money that goes towards their salary.
Uh, and if you force that situation, they're just doing it for more money.
And this is another example of Joe lying.
I am not gonna raise taxes on any American making over four making under 400,000 a year.
And meanwhile, the people that are disproportionately impacted by Joe's inflation, which on average is $7200 a household, are the poor, the middle class, and people on fixed income.
And you're right, if they put you demand that you get a W2 instead of a 1099, they're hurting you even further.
It's a great point.
Anyway, I gotta run.
I wish I had more time.
Thank you for a good call.
Uh, we continue from Georgia.
Don't forget Herschel Walker Town Hall tonight, uh, nine Eastern Hannity on Fox.
