Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, literally, Linda confirmed this to be true or not true.
Less than two hours ago, I did not have a voice.
And magically, it's gotten stronger as the day has gone on.
I mean, I go through this, what, two or three times a year, probably.
Yeah, I think it depends on your stress and your sleep.
Sleep, zero, stress.
Nah, non-existent.
What does stress mean?
Why does everyone say they're stressful?
In your world, it's the new normal, unfortunately.
It's 24-7.
But I'm grateful that it's back.
I'm glad to be here.
There's a lot going on.
And we're going to be interviewing the Speaker of the House, which is pretty exciting.
The new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
Now, you know, the interesting thing is I'm glad he chose us to do the interview with because all the Democrats now have been involved in since the second he was elected, MAC extremist Mike Johnson.
You know, he spent years fighting against gay rights and so on.
He happens to be very faithful, very religious, following his religious beliefs.
By the way, nothing he's going to do in Congress is ever going to involve most of the issues that they are talking about.
Just in case you're interested or want to know what the real deal is all about.
And they attack him.
I mean, it's been quick.
It has been firm.
It has been complete, which is why Republicans got to stop wasting their time going on fake news, CNN.
Nobody watches them.
I see ratings every single day of my life.
Thankfully, I'm glad I appreciate that you all watch me.
I really am.
Except sometimes we could use a little few more of you on Monday nights.
Monday night football, if it's a good game, usually hurts.
But short of that, you know, I'm very grateful to this audience for being there for us every night because I don't get to do this job without you.
I don't get to be on radio without you.
You know, all the people that are involved in cancel culture, well, the reality is audiences get to cancel people they don't like every single day when they make choices of what they watch and what they listen to.
You have complete power and control, and it's our job, if we want to keep working, is to put on the best shows possible.
And like we're doing today, we've got, you know, realistic numbers on the economy.
There is over exuberance the way I see it in reaction to today's GDP numbers.
But I'll get reaction from the experts.
Steve Moore, E.J. Antoni, Byron Donalds, who is the great congressman from Florida, he'll check in with us.
Chip Roy of Texas will check in with us.
Vince Ellison is going to be back.
He is always on fire.
We love having him on the program.
And he just, he's no holds barred.
And we just have a lot of news that we've got to get to.
And this guy's got to get to work.
And the priorities are not complicated.
We've got a budget business to get finished.
Remember, the fiscal year starts October 1.
It's now October 26th.
And by the way, that's as per usual.
I think there's been maybe, I don't know, out of the last couple of decades, three, four times they've ever gone on regular order and had budget appropriations passed.
I mean, it's absolute insanity.
We've got a lot of news out of what's going on as it relates to the conflict in the Middle East.
And it is very, very precarious.
And it's not good.
I think I was the first to use the term axis of evil or the new axis of evil being Russia and China and Iran.
And sure enough, we had in very harsh language yesterday the United Nations, which we spend the bulk of money funding, which is asinine considering they've been so anti-American and, frankly, anti-Semitic as an organization over the years.
But anyway, U.S., Russia, China, Russia joined by China in canceling out each other's U.N. resolutions on this Israel-Hamas war that was started by Hamas.
So you know where China, Russia, and Iran are.
They're on the same team.
But we've been telling you about that for a long time.
And now we have both countries sending Navy ships into the area around the Middle East.
Now we've got Syria's involvement.
By the way, did you know, Linda, that the Houthi rebels that have been funded by Iran that have been fighting with the Saudis, did you know that while Donald Trump put them on the terror list, nations terror list, Joe Biden took them off that list?
That's all they've been involved in is terror.
And I don't even know when it happened.
I read an awful lot.
I don't know how I missed it, but apparently I did.
And Joe Biden took them off.
Now, interesting little sidebar to this is that the Houdi rebels down in, that have been fighting this proxy war for Iran against the Saudis, they were firing missiles that they had destined for Israel.
And actually, it was the Saudis that intercepted them.
So that was a pretty interesting development.
What does it mean?
I don't want to read too much into it, but maybe they thought it was headed for their country or they didn't want missiles flying over their country.
I don't know.
Anyway, the very latest is the first incursion started last night.
It did not get a lot of play in real time, which is very interesting to me because the element of surprise now by the Israelis, you know, with each passing day, I think they lose a little bit more of it, allowing the Hamas terrorists to rearm themselves and build booby traps.
But the way this is unfolding is getting very interesting.
Israeli troops did have a ground raid into Gaza before the expected wider incursion.
That happened last night when they literally launched a ground raid into northern Gaza, striking several militant targets in order to be preparing the battlefield for this full-on ground invasion.
I'm told it could happen as early as tonight or tomorrow, but I've been hearing that now for days.
While simultaneously we're learning a lot of other stuff, Israeli troops carried this out in the dark of night last night.
Then on the other side of this, you have a delayed ground inversion, part of a campaign to keep the element of surprise in a multi-prong attack.
It's not as easy as it seems to people.
Okay, Hamas kills 1,400 Israelis, takes all these hostages.
All right, let's go to war against Gaza.
Because the minute that the Israeli ground war begins with Gaza, you have to expect that activity in the north, in Lebanon, with Hezbollah, is going to increase and increase dramatically.
You know, one way that this has been described, which I think is really fascinating, is the battle of the tunnels is about to begin.
Now, if I didn't see this, the sophisticated network of tunnels with my own eyes and been in them myself, I don't think I would realize the level of sophistication, the amount of real architecture, if you will.
If you can think of a terror tunnel as it's not an architectural wonder of the world, but these are well-built tunnels, and there's a whole network of them, money that was supposed to be spent on hospitals and schools and infrastructure spent on tunnels so they can kidnap and kill innocent Israelis.
But anyway, the battle of the tunnels is about to begin because these underground networks, there's so many of them, they use everything from weapons drills, hidden from overhead balloons, synthetic radar to find them.
And the leaders of Hamas know that once Israel's counteroffensive starts, that they're going to lose their greatest asset, which is this network of tunnels that they have.
Because I don't think Israel is leaving there until every single one of those tunnels is destroyed.
And this is what Netanyahu has promised, and he's vowing an invasion against Hamas.
And one of the questions is going to be what America's involvement in this ultimately is going to be with Americans killed and Americans kept hostage.
But as they have been warning the people of Gaza to get out, not good news for the people of Gaza that Hamas has been blocking roads so the people of Gaza, including innocent women and children, can't flee.
And they're actually shooting at people, according to other reports that we see.
The Wall Street Journal had reported that Israel agreed to the U.S. request to delay the Gaza invasion in part because they wanted U.S. air defense systems.
They wanted more iron domes delivered.
We expect that they should be there if they're not there now very shortly, which means the window of time is definitely closing.
Prime Minister Netanyahu is saying, citizens of Israel, we are in the midst of our struggles of our existence.
We have two goals in this war, to destroy Hamas, all of its infrastructure, and do everything possible to bring our hostages back home.
And I don't think they're going to leave unless, in fact, they're able to accomplish all of those goals.
Now, one of the things that we have to be on the lookout for, several, we've been telling you about these attacks on American troops in Iraq and Syria.
Now, a politico report that several U.S. troops are reporting brain injury from these attacks.
And as a result of what they may believe to be some type of gas attack on them, it certainly highlights the risk of the weaponry and the sophisticated weaponry.
One of the strategies, probably there is gas that the Israelis in the United States can use.
And the attack on the tunnels and this tunnel network that could incapacitate people for up to six to seven hours, but not kill them or have permanent damage.
Now, I'm not an expert on it.
I'm only telling you what I've read today.
But there's no doubt, I'll say this, that the Middle East is paying the price of Joe Biden's White House removing the Houdis from the terrorist list.
I did not know that that had happened.
In word, in deed, the Houthis that have been in Yemen fighting this proxy war on behalf of Iran, you know, they're proving to the world how connected they are to this Iran access of resistance.
And why did Joe Biden pull them off the terror list?
Why did Joe Biden allow Iran to get rich again, knowing that they're the number one state sponsor of terror and not crack down on them selling any oil on the global markets the way they have been?
We also have some new information that the terrorists that did attack on October the 7th were trained in Iran for this attack.
So back to the head of the snake question.
You know, when do you take out the head of the snake and the head of the snake is Iran?
Lawmakers now are taking a closer look at Iran's funding of these terror organizations.
Well, you think that maybe that should have been done a lot earlier?
That seems pretty basic for me.
You know, Biden is saying to give Biden, by the way, a report out today by the Washington Times, the munitions that are now desperately needed by, I would argue, our top ally, not only in the Middle East, but worldwide, certainly right up there, Israel.
But now munitions that were reserved for Israel are going to Ukraine by Joe Biden.
I mean, Joe Biden is just obsessed with Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, instead of pressuring Europe to protect their own continent and for these European countries to be doing the bulk of providing what is necessary for Ukraine to actually win the war.
Joe Biden has not pressured them.
And these countries sit back and say, well, if America is going to pay for it, why should we pay for it?
I told you yesterday, the voice of America is even refusing to call Hamas terrorists.
Why is that?
You know, then we've got the Iranian influence cell.
This was in the Washington Free Beacon.
A pro-Iran influence cell appears to be operating at the Biden administration's highest levels, endangering U.S. national security, according to a new legal watch group that seeks to determine if senior U.S. officials have been compromised by Tehran and their hardline government.
America First Legal is now looking into this.
Specifically, we've talked about Robert Malley, who had his security clearance yanked earlier this year amid allegations that he mishandled classified information and his involvement in other dealings with Iran and information that might have been shared.
We'll find out about this, I'm sure, over time.
You have Biden administration officials responsible for prosecuting anti-Semitic attacks have praised anti-Semitic activists.
They got a guy in charge of prosecuting anti-Semitic attacks, which have skyrocketed all around the country and the world in light of the Hamas terror attack on Israel, has a history of coddling anti-Semitic activists.
And we're talking about Justice Department Civil Rights Chief Kristen Clark partnering with the Council of Islamic Relations.
Remember them, CARE?
Haven't talked about them in a long time.
And other radical groups, she's also praised the likes of the Hamas caucus leader, Congresswoman Tlaib.
Do we need to say any more?
As a student at Harvard, she organized a speech for Wellesley College, Professor Tony Martin, who peddled the false claim that a cabal of, quote, Jews orchestrated the international slave trade.
Great.
And then Senate Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee, you know, back Iran-friendly Jack Liu to be ambassador to Israel.
That's the guy that oversaw the transfer of all this money and cash to Iran in 2016, you know, under the Obama administration.
How asinine is that?
All right, we've got a lot more to get to today.
Also, we're interviewing in DC tonight.
The new speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, will be with us.
Yeah, I know.
These hours in the swamp and the sewer, they're not fun.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, we've got a lot of other ground to get to.
We'll get to the economy today.
We'll get to politics, what the top priorities of the new speaker ought to be, and the attacks by the predictable attacks by the left.
You know, this did not get a lot of play in the mob and the media, but there are a lot of Americans that were stranded, and the U.S. Embassy in Israel did nothing to help them.
I know Governor DeSantis sent planes just for Floridians, and by the way, he didn't charge them.
Then we find out when they finally get around to helping Americans finally get out Joe Biden's charging Americans fees to get them out of a war zone.
How about we just take care of our fellow Americans and maybe, you know, maybe give them a free flight just to get them out of harm's way.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.
Our toll-free numbers, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Well, we see and we know that things are now getting worse.
There was a mini ground war incursion last night, Israel into northern Gaza, and just the beginning targeting specific military strongholds in the area.
You know, the Bible says something, Ninja.
It tells us that in Genesis to bless those that bless Israel.
And there are so many people of many religious faiths that are looking at what is happening and seeing the virulent hatred and anti-Semitism worldwide, seeing it on our college campuses, universities, and just repulsed by all of it as we are.
But the world has witnessed these heinous terror attacks against innocent Israeli citizens, men, women, children, even babies, the hostages that are taken.
We see this massive and devastating attack, you know, killing over 1,400 people, hundreds more now being held hostage.
And the sworn enemy of Israel, I mean, Hamas, like ISIS, you know, there's no conscience, there's no soul.
And people inside the country that are on the front lines and people that are in desperate need for help, they're called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They're on the ground right now providing really important essentials, food, medicine, other emergency supplies for many, many people that are in dire need.
And frankly, the government, it's not their top priority right now.
Social welfare programs, not that it's welfare, you know, social programs to help people out in need because they're looking at a two-front war and maybe far worse than that, especially with Syria firing missiles into Israel and the Houthis firing missiles into Israel and Iran saber-rattling that they may involve themselves.
So anyway, they've really stepped up and they can only help the people that desperately need help with your generosity.
It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They're on the ground right now providing those essentials, food, medicine, other emergency supplies for vulnerable people in dire need.
Anyway, to donate, we set up a special website for this great cause.
It's HannityForIsrael.com.
That's HannityForisrael.com, H-A-N-N-I-T-Y-F-O-R-Israel.com.
And if you can, just give as generously, as I know you so often do.
I think the worst headline I saw today was on the front cover of today's New York Post, and its headline says, Fear you, fear F-E-A-R-U, meaning university.
And then it goes, the subheading is, Jews lock themselves in Cooper Union Library as anti-Israel protesters pound on doors.
What does this sound like to you?
Does this sound like this century?
I mean, it's just horrible.
So you've got a group of Cooper Unions, Jewish students, having to barricade themselves inside a university in the East Village of New York in their library because you've got these pro-Palestinian, and by the way, among them, many pro-Hamas, let's be honest.
You know, pounding on the building's doors, spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric.
A Jewish senior at the school recounted how terrifying it was, saying that when they started banging on the door, my heart started pounding.
I was crying.
I think if the doors weren't locked, I don't know what would have happened.
How is this happening in our country?
Where did all this virulent anti-Semitism come from?
You know, we have members of Congress, the halls of Congress.
I could call them the Hamas caucus.
But then you have these same students having to barricade themselves, their lives being threatened, or they're feeling threatened.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
By the way, down in Florida, Florida State University systems have enforced the first U.S. ban on radical pro-Palestinian student groups, accusing them of providing harmful support for terrorist groups.
And the State University system of Florida announced that Students for Justice in Palestine, whose national leadership backed Hamas and their deadly attack on Israel, had to be dismantled as part of a statewide crackdown.
Now, wouldn't they call for that same crackdown if it was viewed as conservative hate?
I mean, but it's all over the place.
The leader of the LGBTQ group at Columbia University is excluding any supporters of Israel from an upcoming, quote, black lesbian film event, according to the New York Post.
Really?
I would think that, you know, minority groups or people that have themselves been oppressed at times might be a little sympathetic.
You know, this was an innocent group of people that were killed.
George Washington University, you got a group there.
University students projected a giant anti-Semitic pro-Hamas messages onto a library.
You know, glory to our martyrs.
Photographs posted online by a group called Stop Anti-Semitism.
Glory to our martyrs.
Divested from Zionist genocide now.
All projected onto the library at George Washington University.
It's hard to really understand this, but this is very real.
Here's Israel's biggest military problem.
The military is, they're prepared to wipe out, if they wanted to obliterate Gaza, Israel's very capable of doing it.
They have spent an inordinate amount of time, money, effort, energy to try and get innocent people in Gaza time to get out before the ground war begins.
And they've been very blunt for weeks.
It's either leave or you're going to die.
So they've been pretty straightforward about it and telegraphing that.
That buys time for the terror group Hamas to prepare for the ground war incursion, invasion, to re-up their supplies, to set up their terror tunnels to booby trap areas.
But then Syria jumps in and they're firing missiles into Israel.
And then you've got out of Yemen, the Houthi rebels that Joe Biden says is not a terrorist organization.
They're firing missiles into Israel.
Then you've got Hezbollah in the north in Lebanon.
They're firing missiles into Israel.
And as soon as any full-on ground incursion begins, then all of this is going to be ratcheted up to a whole new level.
And, you know, you've got a summit of all these proxy bigs.
This is all the work and support of Iran.
Nobody wants to talk about that part.
We've all known it for a long period of time.
Well, you know, we'll see.
Innocent men, women, and children.
Do you ever think that we live in an era where such virulent hatred, anti-Semitism at the most prestigious universities in this country?
You ever think Times Square would be, you know, parts of it packed like New Year's Eve with radical pro-Hamas protesters, many of them.
Some are pro-Palestinian.
They're certainly not standing in defense of Israel after the slaughter of innocent Israelis.
You know, F-Israel graffiti scrawled across Cornell University's campus sidewalks.
New York public school students have anti-Semitic signs call for Israel to be eradicated.
I mean, it just eradicated.
Get Nazi symbols, you know, showing up in places I never thought they'd show up before.
Jewish American students, I know they're outraged by the rising anti-Semitism in this country, but it's also worldwide.
In London, they had 100,000 people show up at a rally.
100,000.
It's a lot of people.
And you've got Australia.
We've talked about that.
Gas the Jews, F the Jews.
What the hell is going on?
Where did this all come from?
How's this been percolating under the radar for so long?
Anyway, it's a very, very dangerous time.
And New York City's Cooper Union College.
What an embarrassment.
Are those students going to be in any way punished?
Probably not.
And finally, oh, the FBI DHS a warning of U.S. hate crimes amid the Israeli-Hamas war.
Okay.
Thank, you know, how nice of Majorca to finally pay attention.
Can't believe it.
Richmond, California council meeting explodes after a resolution blaming Israel after the Hamas attack.
That's like the 31 groups at Harvard.
This is sick stuff.
You have independent presidential candidate.
I've known Cornell West.
We've never agreed, but he's always seemed pretty peaceful.
I mean, this guy is a professor of philosophy and religion, and he's out there joining an anti-Israeli protest at UCLA, in which he said that Israel's retaliation is genocide.
I'm like, well, Cornell, it wouldn't have happened had they not killed 1,400 innocent people.
The reason it's going to continue is because they won't lay down their arms, and their charter calls for Israel's destruction.
So he puts out a video statement on X on Twitter saying that he's going to the University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA, protesting organized by the Students for Justice in Palestine.
You know, I have no idea what's happened to them.
Now, I did have a debate set up if Harvard would allow it.
So far, we've not gotten any positive reaction to our idea to have a real debate on campus about the virulent anti-Semitism of these 31 groups.
Although we do know that the student groups and those people that organized all of this, they're scared to death because Wall Street firms are saying, can you give us their names?
Because we don't want to hire those people.
Can you blame them for not wanting to hire them?
In other news today, Senator Blackburn is accusing Joe Biden of giving a billion dollars to this Hamas front group.
Biden's approval rating is in a free fall with Democrats dragging down his overall number to 37%, 11 points down with his own voters, Democrats.
That's a big number, a big drop.
What else do we have?
All right.
So we're in Washington going to be interviewing the Speaker of the House tonight, Mike Johnson, in his first interview.
We're glad to have him on.
I know for a lot of people, he was new.
Linda, how did you like that speech yesterday?
I thought he did a really good job.
Listen, I don't know all that much about him.
I mean, I think there's positives and negatives about everything, but I have to say, I thought he was very funny, which there isn't a lot of funny people in Congress.
He cracked a lot of jokes in a very tense, tense room.
He had everybody laughing.
He was a lot of hat tips to the workers.
That never goes unnoticed, I think, by regular people at least.
So I thought that stuff was really good.
He has a very conservative record.
We'll go over that.
He's being attacked viciously by the left already.
By the way, why isn't Corine Jean-Pierre being attacked over, you know, comments that she makes?
You know, Miranda Devine did a deep dive in her column today into this.
You know, we've not seen any credible threat, she muttered.
She writes, when asked if the administration is concerned about rising anti-Semitism after these terror attacks against Israel.
And Corine Jean-Pierre launched into a callous, you know, answer about how, you know, actually Muslims and Arab Americans have endured a disproportionate number of these hate-fueled attacks.
Linda, I read news all day.
Am I missing something?
I can promise you wholeheartedly, if this was happening against the Muslim people in any part of the world and there were a bunch of Jewish people slamming on doors or Christian people slamming on doors where a bunch of Muslims were trapped inside, it would be on every single channel.
We'd be screaming from the hilltops about ethnic racism, cultural racism, appropriation.
It would be everywhere.
But because it's against the Jewish people or against the Christian people, we don't talk about it because it's expected, it's understood, and it's accepted.
So we have to stop it now.
Racism of any kind for any really, any reason, religion or otherwise, is wrong.
But they will never admit it.
Daily Mail had their piece on this.
KJP, more of a bumbling clown than Biden himself, because three times she was given three opportunities and she ducked every single opportunity when questioned about the Jewish hatred in this country and each time calls out Islamophobia instead.
Sean, look at last night with the Cooper U kids.
I just sent you an article on this.
The kids are trapped in there.
They got a local resource officer on campus, as most colleges do.
The NYPD.
What are you talking about with the New York Post article?
No, but the NYPD themselves put out an official statement and said it was not a hostile environment.
There were no credible threats.
I'm like, you told the kids to go hide in an attic.
Who's that sounding?
Lock the door.
That doesn't sound normal to me.
Yeah.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean, you know, we're talking about, we're hearing another report about a possible active shooter.
I'm reading this from social media, but I'm going to watch that very, very closely.
Our prayers with the people of Maine.
This was what an attack last night.
I mean, they got 22 people, many more injured.
And we have learned a thing or two about this guy.
Apparently he suffered from deep mental illness, had recently been fired from a job.
Just sad.
I mean, can you imagine waking up last night just to hear, oh, your loved one has been killed, shot and killed?
For what?
So much darkness in this world.
You know, I actually watched the new Exorcist movie.
Did you watch it yet?
I'll watch it never, but go ahead.
Yeah, I mean, and it's obviously a theatrical thing.
It's Hollywood.
But, you know, I've described evil in the last century.
Over 100 million people, Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Germany, Mussolini, fascism, Tojo, Japan, whole pot, killing fields.
I mean, it's real evil that exists.
By the way, one really good movie, if you go to angel.com that I really like, I am fascinated by, you know, life after life stories, you know, people that, you know, are dead on the table or dead in an accident like 90 Minutes in Heaven.
These stories fascinate me.
