More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Thanks, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800 nine four-one Sean.
If you want to look to be a part of the program, uh I'm getting information as we speak here, so I need a little bit of patience from some of you out there.
Um as it relates to this this battle, this ongoing battle for speaker of the house.
We also have a lot of news regarding Israel today that we will be getting into.
Uh as we speak, I know for a fact um that there's a meeting going on between more conservative House members and some of the more moderate members.
And the meeting is basically to discuss, you know, what is the best way to move forward and get a speaker elected, especially in the times we're living in and open the people's house yet again.
Uh but anyway, so they're heading into those meetings now.
A lot of a lot of my sources, contacts are going to be out of pocket, at least for the next half hour, although these meetings tend to go on much longer than you think.
Reports had been out there all day that Jim Jordan was bowing out.
That is not the case.
Uh I had thought so up until just a short time ago.
Uh and, you know, the message keeps coming back that a lot of people, I never liked the motion that's any one member could vacate.
I always thought it was a prescription for chaos and a disaster.
Um in other words, if there was a petty difference between any two people at that point, the entire house could be shut down by any one member.
I think the threshold had to be much higher than that.
Twenty, twenty-five people.
This way, whatever a speaker might have done would be significantly, you know, had to be really serious.
Um, and you know, the fact that Speaker McCarthy, and and I think he should have gotten the appropriations bills done on time.
They shouldn't have taken off that time in August.
I've been outspoken uh about that issue.
Uh however, there were really simple answers to how they should handle that.
When they realized that, okay, they need more time and they didn't want to go along with this open-ended continuing resolution with spending levels the same, you know, guys like like Chip Roy of Texas and Byron Donalds of Florida, they they got together and the their first proposal was, you know, a 30-day continuing resolution.
Uh, but we'd have an 8% cut and we put more money towards the border.
I thought that was a pretty good deal.
Uh that would have bought them the time that was needed for the appropriations bills to be done, which Matt Gates at the time was claiming was his biggest issue, that Kevin had broken his promise on not having it done on time.
Well, it almost never gets done on time.
And of the there are twelve appropriations bills in total, four of the twelve representing seventy percent of the overall budget had already been passed.
So I think the 30-day solution, the first solution put forward by Byron Donald's and and Chip Roy would have, you know, that would have bridged the gap, and then everybody in the end would have been happy, and we wouldn't be, you know, now on our sixteenth day or so without a speaker and and the house shut down while wars breaking out in the Middle East and we have war in Europe and we have wide open borders and we still have not dealt with the budgetary issues.
Uh forget about the House.
Let's assume they get a speaker.
Let's assume they get back to regular order.
Um, even if they pass a bill and the Senate's never gonna go along with it.
That means there's gonna be a tough fight in conference, and and God knows what that bill ultimately is gonna look like, but but at least at that point, any government stalemate, any shutdown would be on the Democrats because they're not willing to negotiate.
And Joe Biden's not willing to lead his Democratic Party.
Now the responsibility comes on them because they all they have the executive branch.
They have uh the full Senate.
They're you know, they just don't have one half of one branch here.
So you can't blame the Republicans at that point, and that's where I I I still stay by it today, and that is that you got they're gonna Republicans are gonna win or lose together.
They're not gonna there's not gonna be one group of Republicans that are winners and one group that are losers.
There's gonna be they all win or they all lose.
And for the country, it means we all win or we all lose.
They were given a mandate, a majority to lead.
And that's why I am so adamantly against you know this short-term band-aid solution of empowering the speaker pro Tem, uh, which is this, which is McHenry, not exactly the most conservative guy in the world on top of it, but uh anyway, that you know, as Chip Roy uh told me before, and he actually put on Twitter today, there's no path for a GOP only empowerment of a speaker pro-temps.
So it would necessarily require Democratic votes.
Now I think the Democrats would actually love that deal because they know they'd have a weakened Republican leader, and that would be McHenry, and I and one group that are losers.
And for the country, it means we all win or we all lose.
They were given a mandate, a majority to lead.
And that's why I am so adamantly against you know this short-term band-aid solution of empowering the speaker pro Tem, uh, which is this which is McHenry, not exactly the most conservative guy in the world on top of it,
but uh anyway, that i you know, as Chip Roy uh told me before, and he actually put on Twitter today, there's no path for a GOP only empowerment of a speaker pro-temps so it would necessarily require Democratic votes.
Now, I think the Democrats would actually love that deal because they know they'd have a weakened Republican leader, and that would be McHenry.
And I think if you ask him my opinion, if you're a conservative, this is by the way, this is also why I'm not a Republican.
Because you know what?
I have watched this, you know, it's almost like a uniparty for some of these people.
Some of these Republicans, they have no backbone, they have absolutely positively no conviction, no strength, no courage, and I I just don't have a lot of respect for them.
Now there are others that I have a very deep abiding respect for, the real workers that are out there.
You know, how many people when you were hearing the the call of the role uh yesterday and the other day, and the day before, rather, and you heard it the 15 times when they were voting on the Kevin McCarthy uh whether he should be speaker.
How many of those names that are Republican do you not even know?
Now I do this every day, and this is my business.
It's my business to know these things.
I can, you know, literally I have papers in front of me.
I could look up any district, any representative anywhere in the country, but it doesn't mean I know these people.
Uh I mean, you know, I mean they were like shriveling up and and like saying, well, Sean Hannity put asked me questions.
And I that it was a lot of pressure.
The questions made me mad and everything.
I'm like, all right, grow up.
First of all, you're a public servant.
By the way, I my job is to serve you, my listeners.
That's my job.
It's not really much different.
If I don't do a good job, you ultimately have the power to fire me.
I don't want to get fired.
I'm working hard that I that you never want to fire me.
You might disagree with me from time to time, but my own kids disagree with me from time to time.
Linda, oh, she never disagrees with me.
You know, God forbid you get the wrath of Linda around this place.
It's, you know, holy hell will come raining down on your head.
Come on, you sound like a snowflake.
Oh, no.
See?
I get you some cocoa and milk?
You want some crayons in the corner?
You're pressuring me.
You know, you're asking questions.
That's a tough question to answer.
Give me, give me 10 minutes with these 22.
No, so it and the funny thing is is everyone the other thing the media mob's been doing.
Hannity was lobbying.
I'm like, lobbying?
By the way, that's all in the Washington Post.
Washington Post, you know when he said I went back in my phone records, I looked.
And I remembered who I spoke to.
I didn't, I'm like, did I call anyone else?
Let me let me just check.
Because I only have one phone.
That's it.
One Hannity phone.
And I don't have an email account.
And not everybody has my number.
I don't have a lot of their numbers.
I have a few.
You know, I have um let me say sources, right?
And so my sources would tell, I said, and by the way, all three of my sources, I will say this.
All three of them were supporting Jim Jordan.
So I wasn't pressuring or lobbying them.
They had already told me they're supporting Jim Jordan.
So I was asking, all right, well, how many people do you think are against this?
Now, why was I asking those questions?
Because that's my job.
Because the better informed I am as a host.
I I know that I was asking these questions over the weekend.
Um I really don't stop working on weekends.
You know, I might take some time to myself.
I might have different events I have to go to.
I might even have an occasional night out for dinner with friends.
Occasionally.
Not that often.
I'm not that big on going out.
I'm a complete total utter loser.
I re it's true.
You can say it.
I'm a loser.
I'm saying just admit it.
It's aggressive.
I think I'd say you're a hermit.
Uh, okay.
Whatever.
You know, and I I focus my attention all week long on work.
It's hard to shut it off on the weekend.
So I was trying to get a feel.
All right, Jim Jordan's in, Scalise is out.
I had nothing against Steve Scalise.
It would have been better, I think, if they would have just gone along with the with the Chip Roy and the Byron uh Donald's plan and get the 30-day CR.
Okay.
Things don't always go my way.
Look, if it went my way, Joe Biden wouldn't be president.
Barack Obama wouldn't have been president.
Bill Clinton wouldn't have been president.
You know, they always say, well, the power of these guys on right wing radio.
But if that it's somehow me asking these, these were the questions I'm asking.
I have I have heard there are reports, in other words, sources are telling me that you're not supporting Jim Jordan.
Is that true?
Now, I'm asking for clarification.
I'm giving them, rather than just saying so-and-so's not supporting Jordan.
No, I'm I'm getting information, gathering information.
I'm kind of trying to feel where this is headed, so I can have a something to inform you with on Monday.
Uh what was the next question?
Next question, okay, in light of the fact that you know the urgency of the time we're living in, and we have war breaking out with Hamas and Israel, and we have war in Europe, and we have wide open borders, and we have appropriations deadlines.
Okay, so if if that's your position, then you're not going to support it.
Then what are you going to do to open the house?
The people's house.
I think that's a fair question.
I just wanted an answer.
Um, not lobbying, I'm asking.
What is your plan to open the house?
And then I wanted to know, based on all the other reporting, whether or not that under any circumstances, whether the particular members, I didn't even write that many members.
You know, I but there was the list was not that long.
And I and I didn't do it.
I had somebody on my TV staff sent the note out.
You know, would you ever work with the Democrats in a deal to open the house that way?
Which I think is them abdicating their role, their responsibility.
They were elected to be the majority, so act like the majority.
That's why I don't support the band-aid solution.
I'm just dead set against it.
Now, by the way, this came out earlier today from the Washington Post once again.
What a shocker.
Representative Jim Jordan will not seek an additional speaker vote today, allowing the chamber instead an opportunity to give Representative Patrick T. McHenry, the temporary speaker, or the speaker pro tem is what they should have said, additional powers according to multiple people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the plan.
You know, all these people that claim that I lobbied them, I'm like, show me your phone records.
I didn't talk you you weren't talking to me, and most people don't have my number.
And I only have one phone number unless you got it from a member That does have it.
But I have the record that shows you didn't call me.
Show me the show us the record that you called me.
Because I think you're full of Adam Schiff.
You know, did I maybe forget someone?
I don't think so.
I think I would have remembered that.
I don't have a mind like Joe Biden yet.
Maybe one day I will.
I mean, it can't get any any more disastrous than that interview on the plane last night on Air Force One back from Israel or yesterday.
It was pretty bad indeed.
And by the way, why is he want to give a hundred million dollars to the Palestinians in exchange for nothing?
We have 203, according to the IDF, the Israeli defense forces, confirmed hostages.
Among those hostages are American citizens.
Now, why would you give the Palestinian authority?
Now remember, in Gaza, it was the people that voted in Hamas to be their leaders.
They had one election in 2006.
That's not changed.
And if Joe Biden gives a hundred million dollars to quote the Palestinians for humanitarian relief, well, they don't exactly have the best history of spending money appropriately, because how do you think they built all those terror tunnels, the network of terror tunnels they have so that they can kill and capture Israelis?
Well, they built that with American money.
They built that with Israeli money.
So basically it's the United States and Israel giving money to try and offer some humanitarian relief and build schools and hospitals and infrastructure.
So if Joe gives them a hundred million dollars, it gets nothing for it.
I mean, for six billion, at least he tried to get five hostages out.
Dumb.
It was the dumbest idea I've ever seen.
And we still don't have complete affirmation that their secret deal is even real, that the money's definitely not going there.
Uh although it has been moved from a South Korean bank, and the people in Iran are claiming, oh, we're getting that money.
That money's in our pocket.
Drop dead.
So there's and we'll spend it any way we want.
That's what they're saying.
So, you know, we got so many things happening.
So all I can tell you with this hour is they're working.
The sooner that they get this done, the better.
And my advice to them is this.
It's very simple.
Get in a room, check your ego, check your phone, stay in that room and don't leave.
Have access to bathrooms, of course.
Be compassionate.
Maybe even if they're in there 24 hours, they can have a shower.
Take a one-hour shower break.
Everybody can, you know, go shower.
You don't want to shower, that's your choice.
I don't make judgments about people that choose not to shower.
We'd be a little uncomfortable sitting next to you, but I'm not going to comment on that.
I'll be sitting on the other side of the room if I'm in that room.
Anyway, 800-941 Shauna's our number.
We'll just gonna try and keep you up to spade.
It's uh sp uh speed.
Uh uh, it's very fluid at this hour, but we'll continue to monitor it.

You know, as the Republicans now, you know, have this meeting behind closed doors.
I don't know how long it's going to last.
You know, there's really only one question for the 20, 21 people, I guess, that voted against Jim Jordan.
Okay, if if it's not Jim, what's your solution?
What's your answer for opening the house?
You know, uh, they don't like pressure campaigns.
Okay.
I don't know what that means.
You know, I I always thought public servants should be wanting feedback from their constituents and people in the country.
And, you know, let them know they they should rep they should be responsive to those people that empower them and gave them their job and allow them to be called congressman, Senator, or governor, or madam speaker, uh whatever they want to be called.
You know, look, this could all end out fine.
Just get you just open the people's house.
Open the house.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Toll free our number, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Looks like sometime tonight, what we're being told that there might be another vote uh as Republicans are meeting in private behind closed doors.
Things have been pretty hot all day, from what I can hear.
A lot of resentment, but you know, that doesn't bother me.
You know, sometimes what what happened at our constitutional convention after a month of next to no progress, as the as the tale goes, the ever so brilliant, Benjamin Franklin, wisdom that he had, you know, so maybe we should start every day with a prayer and ask for God's providence in all this.
Maybe that's what they need to start doing.
Something.
Something to get this thing moving.
Um, I don't know why.
I I know it is we've gotten to the point I knew we'd get here.
I said from day one that we're gonna get here, that many of you are getting frustrated and getting really, really frustrated.
Um it just at this moment it is not as urgent as people are making it out to be.
They've got work to do.
We're getting to the urgency point.
You know, we've got open borders, we've got appropriation and budget deadlines, uh, we've got war now with Israel and Hamas, we've got war in Europe, these are pressing issues.
We have energy issues in this country that also need to be dealt with.
Border security, HR2.
And, you know, just because Republicans, you know, if they elect a speaker and uh it looks like Jim Jordan is staying in, the reports earlier today that that wasn't gonna be the case.
Um but anyway, so i i th there's plenty of time to get all this work done.
It's just you know, that's they're making it more difficult.
It was just a bad idea.
In my view, it was a bad idea to have any one member convocate, because at that point, any one member can shut it down.
And when you're dealing with 435 members, you got a lot of egos in that room.
You just do.
You just it has to be more egregious than that.
And then some of the cooler heads were just ignored.
And uh, you know, for example, I go back to Chip uh Roy and and Byron Donald's.
I think that would have been a better way to get er it would have gotten everything accomplished that every side wanted.
And it would have been done, you know, except maybe 30 days late, but it would have been done with a CR uh that doesn't spend the same amount of money that we've been spending that got us two trillion dollars more in debt last year.
Want to remind you, can you imagine a society without digital, a digital dollar, no cash, uh what, no garage sales?
Because that's what it would mean, no tooth fairy, you don't have cash, no piggy banks, nope.
No more selling extra items for cash around your home, nope.
Uh digital dollar would mean that your life depends on the internet, electricity, and people you don't know.
Means that every penny that you ever use or spend or move or whatever, you know, all of that could be tracked by your government.
Say goodbye to your privacy.
Now that's why many Americans have decided to quote opt out of the government's plans, and many are investing and putting a portion of their savings, and I've been doing this ever since I could save into physical gold and silver.
And I recently did business with Gold Co.
Why?
Because I did my research and Gold Coast, the top rated company with an excellent reputation, and my dealings with them were just perfect.
They were amazing.
And anyway, the question is, you know, do you do you want a diversified portfolio?
I always thought it was important.
Always did.
Never trusted the stock market.
That was another part of my investment strategies.
Just never had a lot of faith and confidence in it.
Now I have some money in the stock market.
I couldn't tell you one stock I own.
You know, it's all part of a money management group that I trust, and they've done overall a pretty good job.
Uh but ever since, by the way, treasuries have gone to five percent, I've I've doubled down on gold and treasuries.
Five percent for years interest, and it's safe, and I'm not losing any principle, I'm happy.
Right now, I'm very happy.
Not good economic news out there today.
Now average mortgage rate in the country is at 8%.
The home sales have stopped, except for very wealthy, you know, Americans that stop for everybody else.
New home construction has ended.
You know, I've got the greatest guy that does some contracting work.
He recently did some work for me.
The greatest guy in the world.
You know why he's busy?
He's busy because number one, he's in a wealthy area in Florida.
And he's busy because he's honest, does a great job.
I mean, it's the only time I've ever hired a contractor, I never talked to him.
I don't want to talk to him.
I mean, except if we're talking about, hey, how you doing?
Because I like him, just as friends.
I don't mean I don't talk to him in a professional capacity.
Had to ask him one question.
You know, it had to do with you know, studio equipment.
But short of that, uh, and then I put a couple little add-ons.
He's you know, everyone throws that in occasionally.
But I mean, he's the greatest guy.
But that's not the case for contractors around the country.
Anyway, look, what you should do, always do your own due diligence, but I've always, since I was able to start saving money in my late 20s, you know, I put a portion in gold and silver.
I'm glad I did.
I've never regretted it.
And Gold Co, they're great people to deal with.
Call them now, 855-815 gold, eight five five eight one five G O L D. How many of you heard Joe Biden on Air Force One yesterday?
Let me play Joe Biden, claiming to have talked to victims of virtually every mass shooting.
Is this the one I aired on TV last night?
Yeah.
And Hamas needs to learn how to shoot straight.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Can you talk about the impact of meeting the survivors and the first responders?
That's all first look I spent an hour and a half about 17 or 18 before.
And I don't know how to say this.
Virtually every mass shooting, every circumstance where large number of people have been victimized and lost.
I spoke with our defense department.
It's highly unlikely.
Well, how Israelis would have a different footprint and intercept using anyway.
And uh so that's why, if you notice I didn't say the first, I didn't I wanted to make sure that I knew.
And look.
And I'm not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it either.
That's that whole thing.
It's not the first time Hamas has launched something that didn't function.
So bad.
Then I gotta tell you something.
Then he says uh if that if Israel doesn't help to relieve the suffering in Gaza, they'll lose all credibility.
That money, Joe, won't go to the Palestinian people, the people that elected Hamas to be their leadership.
That money will go to building more terror tunnels.
That money will go to Hamas.
How do you not understand that?
You know, I was blunt to Israel about the need to get humanitarian aid to Gaza quickly.
No, bad idea.
How about they before they get anything from anybody in the world, they've got to return the two hundred and three confirmed hostages.
Or no electricity.
You know, they no running water, nothing.
And if the people rise up against Hamas and force them to give the hostages back so that they can have the lights turned on and the water turned on, then that would be a good thing.
I mean, can you really be that stupid?
Biden saying that a report that if Hezbollah goes to war against Israel, well, the they've been firing at each other all day today.
It's it's already looking more and more like a two front war.
Now I will tell you this, and I say this with great trepidation and worry, because this can now engulf the entire Middle East.
Because if Israel's in the middle of a two front war, and that's Hezbollah, Lebanon to the north, and Gaza and Hamas to the south, and Iran follows through on their threat to engage themselves, all bets are off at that time.
Because at that moment, Israel's very existence will be hanging in the balance.
And what does that mean?
That means I don't know what I uh that'll mean every option for them to survive is on the table.
That's what it'll mean.
Every eye...
Well, it will have to be on the table.
Unless, you know, they just want to, what...
Capitulate, surrender to Iran.
They're not gonna do that.
I'm telling you right now, that it would be insane.
It's getting some very odd news.
Biden's treasury nominee to be Israel's ambassador oversaw the the transfer of those pallets of cash to Iran.
Did you know that?
This guy Biden's nominee to be ambassador of Israel, Jack Lew.
Remember him from the Obama administration?
Yeah, he's the guy that oversaw the pallets of cash and uh other currencies and the transfer of funds uh to Iran while serving as Obama's treasury secretary in 2016.
You know, he oversaw the transfer of all of this the initial 400 million dollar payment.
What was the total figure on that first Iranian deal?
I forget off the top of my head.
And then Jack Lewis by the way, this came out, money for for Iran came from the Treasury Department, a fund called the judgment fund, money set aside, one point seven billion, which is set aside by Congress to settle litigation disputes.
Jack Lew, according to Senator Tom Cotton, is a direct quote, is a Iranian sympathizer who has no business being the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Yikes.
You know, think about this.
It's insane.
Just insane.
Why would you ever do that?
Uh Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia's move to s uh censure movement on Congresswoman Talib, even after all the evidence was released, Israel had no role in the in the bombing of the hospital in Gaza.
By the way, the hospital wasn't officially even hit.
It was the parking lot next to the hospital.
There's no way based on the pictures and images we saw that 500 people died.
I don't know if anybody even died in that case, because there were cars that were obviously hit with a rocket, but that rocket, they have audio tape of Hamas being, oh geez, we we did that.
Islamic Jihad fired the rocket.
And Israel and American intelligence backs it up.
But yet, Congresswoman Talib refuses to admit that she was wrong and just continued even after all the evidence was released, exculpatory evidence.
You know, she still peddles the lie.
We played that yesterday.
You know, I think one of the President Biden, you know, this great speech he gave Wednesday, wow.
Arriving in Israel.
Now, what I'm being told by my friends in Israel, and I have many sources in Israel.
I am being told that Biden and his administration are saying one thing publicly, and behind the scenes are pushing moderation to Israel.
No, the end of this has to be that Hamas can no longer be a staging area for Hamas to fire rockets into bordering Israeli towns.
That has to end.
That has to be eliminated.
You're not alone, Biden told the suffering Israelis.
You know, and I'm watching and listening and said, you know, to his speech during the Holocaust, the president recalled the world watched and did nothing.
We will not stand by and do nothing.
Really?
What are you going to do, Joe?
What is your what is the Biden doctrine?
The crimes of the Zionist regime continue.
Muslims and resistance forces will become impatient, and no one can stop them, warned the Iranian leader Ali Khomeini.
Yayatola.
Time has come for the global unity of humanity against this fake regime.
And they want to wipe Israel off the map.
And this is Joe Biden's biggest problem.
He's yet to utter a single word about Iran's obvious complicity.
He's still trying to figure out how he can get them the six billion dollars he wants to give them.
I mean, all right, so the president, by the way, is addressing the nation tonight.
We'll be on for two hours tonight.
Uh or regular time, right after the speech.
Anyway, Biden looked tired.
I mean, it was terrible.
That trip was terrible overseas.
I mean, if you watch the people behind him, it was awful.
Because he couldn't utter a word, and he was stammering and he was studying stuttering and making no sense at all whatsoever.
None.
You see the Islamic terrorists killing their own people in the hospital explosion, then blaming Israel.
That's great.
And the rest of the media in this country, so corruptly racing and rushing to judgment without any evidence, taking the words from the Palestinians, you know, authority, the same people that voted in Hamas.
The mob and the media, then forcing Israel and to reveal their intelligence secrets.
What kind of times are we living in?
Congresswomen that are virulently anti-Semitic, the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
What's going to happen to all those people that were protesting in the Capitol?
Are they going to get you know the January 6th treatment?
Or are they going to get a parking ticket?
I'm betting a parking ticket.
You parked your your ass in the wrong spot.
Aren't allowed to go into the Capitol and protest.
Not going to be called an insurrection by the mob.
I love that these top universities now are being told left, right, and sideways.
That's it.
You're not getting another penny from rich people.
Anyway, that's what Joe Biden's trying to do.
Israeli airstrike killed a senior Hamas leader and his family members.
I would consider that good news.
Because they're the ones that ordered the terror attack.
Hamas terrorists use northern uh North Korean weapons.
That's not a good sign.
Evidence shows a pay-per-slay report where the Palestinian authority may have to compensate families of Hamas terrorists.
Oh, so we're going to pay for that with the 100 million dollars Joe's offering.
One other report about not only Jack Lew, but Biden's DHS official placed on leave after pro-Palestinian ties were revealed.
You know, F Israel and any Jew that supports Israel on her Instagram page.
But the Hamas caucus, you know, seems to like that.
Hamas terrorists using North Korean weapons.
Oh boy.
Would that have happened under Donald Trump?
I don't know.
Why do I think not?
Why do I think Jordan, Egypt, Abbas?
Why do I think they would have met with Trump?
Why do I think this?
We wouldn't even be here if he was there.
Because they're scared, they were scared to stare scared to death of this man.
All right, when we come back, we got some of the other news of the day.
Uh Corey Mills has been saving people that our country abandoned in Israel.
