Thanks for being with us.

Our number is 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, it's almost like shock and awe, this...
This new poll that has come out, New York Times uh poll that came out showing that Donald Trump handily winning five out of the six swing states uh that matter the most.
Um I think there's obvious reasons for this, because number one, if peace and prosperity drive elections, and they do, uh, you know, and the question is, are you better off than you are four years ago?
If the if that's the criteria, there's no way that Joe Biden can win.
If you don't believe me, well, let's even listen to Bill Maher saying he doesn't think Biden can win in 2024.
Biden, I don't know.
I just don't think he can win.
And some of these polling results, I think people need to look at them.
How Trump is winning under 30?
Well, I mean, I that that one's all those uh those swing states right now.
Um, you know, yeah.
And Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.
All right, so how real are these polls are pollsters?
Uh Matt Tower, Insider Advantage, Robert Cahaley is with us with the Trafalgar group.
Uh thank you both for being back with us, guys.
How are you?
Doing great.
How are you?
Under I understand you two may be podcasters taking on Joe Rogan pretty soon.
Any truth to that?
I don't think we're gonna be a threat to Joe Rogan, but we run yet there.
I don't know.
It's I I don't know how you're gonna have time for your early bird special dinners that you've been having all these years.
But uh anyway, great to have you both.
I get it.
I get it.
As you as you look at the internals of these polls, it didn't surprise me because I I cannot, and I'm trying to be intellectually honest here, I cannot name a single thing of policy success of the Biden administration.
Whether we're talking about the economy, whether we're talking about borders, whether we're talking about energy or you know, the economy with inflation, uh the high cost of energy, then on foreign policy, you know, from Afghanistan on down, it's been an unmitigated disaster.
And I think the American people see on top of all of that that this guy is just weak, frail, and and cognitively checked out.
So I'm imagining these polls are probably pretty real.
What's uh your take, Matt?
We'll start with you.
Well, I think Robert and I probably both agree.
Um we you know, I take these polls uh just the the New York Times takes our polls with a grain of salt, even though this is the second anniversary of us both nailing the Virginia governor's race.
Uh as we have so many other races.
We take theirs with a grain of salt.
They tend generally gen generally tend to be more positive towards Republicans early on, and then somehow those numbers just went o away when you get to the last month or so.
But let's take the face value.
Um I don't think Georgia's at six.
I think it's much closer than that.
I think Trump is winning.
I think that Biden's losing in those states right now.
But but I will uh I give this cautionary tale.
I spent a lot of time in Atlanta, Georgia recently because someone in my family was ill, and I watched television endlessly.
The Biden campaign has been running ads nonstop.
Now they're off right now in swing states like Georgia and the like.
They're not gonna let up.
And so although I think Biden is wounded right now, I think this war is ripping his face apart.
Um certainly uh I think uh Jewish voters are beginning to take a second look uh at the Democrats and at Biden.
But But it's every demographic.
Now, uh, I I tend to agree with you.
Polls, like, for example, if a Democrats in the media mob um are with the likes of David Axelrod and do not want Joe Biden on the ticket.
They're gonna come out with polls like this just to help push the narrative to maybe help push him out.
Do you agree with that?
That's how blatantly political I think they are.
Yeah, but I I don't know what Robert thinks.
I I certainly think that's that earlier today.
Uh that w we think that's exactly what's going on.
I mean, you know, they can make things more favorable.
I mean, the more honest they are, the truer it is for for that Trump was winning.
And so that I guess they decided to put on the honesty cap because being honest this time served them very well when it when it starts to kind of make Democrats get weak in the knees about Biden, and I think that's exactly what they're trying to do.
Yeah, well, you know, over time we're gonna see, but but usually a president can point to something, you know, as as a an achievement as a success.
And for a while, maybe six months or so, I mean, they were pushing this Bidenomics term harder than ever.
And Bidenomics is not working out too well.
You know, you got Bidenomics, you got the big lie, and then you got reality, which you know, two-thirds of this country is basically living paycheck to paycheck.
You know, housing starts have come to a screeching halt.
Uh sale of pre-existing homes are non-existent, even commercial property now is not selling.
Nothing's selling except for you know, very expensive property uh in states that people are moving to because of better better tax reasons.
Well, I might add, um, I might add, Sean, that one the thing I'm looking at is credit card debt, which is just mounting up and up.
It's the highest it's ever been.
And at some point in time, that begins to hit the voters who have been in the past voting for these Democratic candidates like Joe Biden.
Uh, they're going on trips to Europe.
They spent money here or there and uh wherever because they piled it up during the pandemic.
But at some point, that credit card debt begins to hit home, and I think that's gonna have a deeper effect on voters as we get further into the springtime uh past Christmas.
So I I agree with you.
There are a lot of reasons to believe right now that a Republican and particularly uh Donald Trump and these polls would defeat Joe Biden if the election were held today.
But I I I just there's so many things that can happen.
And and Robert and I both say this is the Twilight Zone election.
Crazy things are going to happen, and they won't stop until election day or thereafter.
All right.
So both of you rightly predicted that Glenn Youncan would win in Virginia.
I'll be honest, um you guys were ahead of the curve over over me for sure.
Um I kind of looked at Virginia as a lost cause.
I see, you know, all the DC bureaucrats, the the bureaucracy in Washington growing.
Uh they're moving to the northern part of Virginia heavily, heavily Democrat, and I just saw that the you know, statistically, demographically, that the state had changed rather dramatically.
Now, he didn't just win, he beat uh a former governor that had been pretty prop popular, uh, and he's well known within Democratic circles, Terry McCullough.
Terry McCullough did not run a bad campaign.
Glenn Youn can a great campaign.
So right now, there's a a five-seat advantage in the House of Delegates for Republicans.
They want to hold that they want to hold that branch.
Uh and they want to take over the Senate where they have about a five-seat deficit.
Uh is is that doable tonight?
Uh Robert, start with you.
Well, from you know with Yuncan, I spent a lot of time watching and and me involved with his first campaign.
Uh, and what I've seen is a guy who can unite Republicans like nobody.
I mean, he can literally take the the most conservative uh Republican in Southern Virginia and put them in the same boat with the uh ones in the beltway uh in Virginia and bring them together.
He's also doing an exceptional job with the uh this get out the vote and focused on early voting.
So he's uniting the biggest.
By the way, I have felt like the for the longest time, and both of you know this, like a voice in the wilderness telling Republicans and conservatives to, you know, get over their reluctance and resistance to voting by mail and voting early, and they better get in the the ballot harvesting business, the legal ballot harvesting business that takes place in a lot of states, like half the states in this country.
Well, Younkin was listening to you because I'm telling you, the operation that from what I understand is is unprecedented in Virginia.
And that they just they've they've hit every checkbox.
And I mean, you know, they're trying to make abortion a big issue with 15 weeks.
I mean, you've got only the extremists are against that.
So I think they're hitting everything just right.
The parental rights stuff has brought non-Republicans into his fold.
I I think there's an excellent chance they're gonna win the Senate, and I think they're probably gonna keep the house.
So you you're predicting that Virginia's gonna go red tonight.
I think it's at least 50-50.
Um now you're hedging like a real poster.
That's right.
I'm just teasing, obviously.
What do you Matt, what do you think about this?
I think this is the race to watch tonight more than and there are important races.
Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Right.
Well, I think this.
I I I've not told it up there, so I can't really make a prediction.
But but what I can't this, what a lot of listeners may not know is there's some major Republican money sitting on the sidelines right now, believing that if Glenn Young can pull off another miracle in Virginia, they can bring him into the presidential race and rescue uh the party from I guess what they think will be a Trump uh loss in in November.
Um my view of that is maybe so, although Glenn Youncan, if he's that well prepared and he checks every box like um Robert just mentioned, he's also pretty smart.
And I think it's gonna be awfully hard to jump in that race, and as Robert has noted, the time has come and gone for him to register in South Carolina.
So it'd be awfully hard to bring somebody in and have to miss out on the biggest primary that decides things before you get into you know the the main flu of other states.
But it's something to watch, and if there's a victory there, well then you'll start hearing in the media that Youncin might be another alternative.
You really think that Yuncan wants to go up against Donald Trump and and get pounded by him for the next three months?
Neither one of us do, actually.
We talked about this today.
Is this guy so smart and so calculating?
I mean, he he's gonna he's gonna be able to call his shot if he has as big a knife as he could tonight, and there's no way he, you know, he's not he's not going to pick self-destruction.
He he's just too smart for that.
All right, quick break more with our pollsters, Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley, and your calls on the other side, 800-941 Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program as we continue.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up, you put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.

Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue with our polsters, Bat Towery and Robert Cahaley.
It is election day in America.
We're watching obviously the Commonwealth of Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
We have a special congressional election in the great state of Rhode Island, which is hardcore Democrat.
But we'll tell you more about that as we continue.
You know, it's interesting because you know when I do my audience shows, I'll often poll people.
And one thing that has been very it's been very, very consistent, is the people that are most supporting President Trump that feel that things were not done the right way in 2020 uh in 2020 and believe that he deserves another shot.
Um they don't they don't really hate the other candidates, especially like Ron DeSantis.
I mean, you have hardcore MAGA people that probably hate Ron DeSantis.
I don't hate Ron.
I think Ron DeSantis has done a fabulous job as governor in Florida.
He's also 45 years old.
He's got a lot of lot of years ahead of him if he wants to run.
Um so I I'm not sure if the damage is long term.
Um, but certainly it looks like this is Trump's to lose at this point, Matt.
Right.
Right?
Would you agree?
Literally.
Yeah, and I live in Florida, and I think Ron DeSantis has been a fantastic governor.
Um, I will tell you this, Sean.
Uh I have noticed, um, and I've polled a lot of Iowa races, as has Robert.
Um, uh certainly presidential uh caucuses.
And I've noticed that his ground game appears to be stronger, and it may not be being picked up in the polls the way it might be on election day.
I'm not saying you'll beat Trump, but I do think that that his strategy of putting basically all the eggs in one basket may prove to be a much smarter Strategy than some pundits give him credit for right now.
Are you saying that he could do a lot better and re-emerge as the clear number two?
I think that that's my view.
I think Robert sort of maybe shares that that he's on the ground there.
He's going to every county, and he sort of stabilized.
You know, he was beaten up for months and months.
They sort of did a uh junior Trump uh uh job on him.
And he's he's stabilized now.
And I just whenever I see a campaign that's really plotting along in Iowa in October and November, I'm not shocked when they end up performing a little better than anybody expected when when you get to the caucus state.
All right, appreciate it, appreciate it all.
Any announcement on when this big podcast begins.
Oh, but when everybody gets ready to watch the caucuses and the like, the podcast will be there for them.
All right, we'll be watching Robert Cahely, uh Matt Towery, thank you both.
Uh folks, you've been heard me, you've heard me raving about this new burner non-lethal self-defense uh firearm.
Well, it's not really a firearm, I mean it's non-lethal, and it looks like a firearm.
It fires like a firearm, uh, without any, you know, uh recoil of any kind.
Uh it's legal in all 50 states.
You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check, and it fires formidable projectiles towards any perpetrator.
And uh upon impact, it releases two pepper sprays and tear gas, and it incapacitates these perpetrators.
And if you're looking for a non-lethal option, and and I'm a believer, I've I've had a license to carry my entire adult life, um, and I'm not giving up that right to carry.
But if I have a chance and and the option of maybe using a non-lethal burner, I want to use it.
And except for the fact that some of their pistols are pink and yellow and orange, uh, it looks just like a gun and it fires like a gun.
The new mission four rifle is unbelievable.
Now they've also added the burner 12 gauge less lethal shotgun round.
And by the way, you take your own shotgun and you literally you load it the exact same way as you would regular ammunition, except it's a non-lethal projectile that'll come out of your shotgun.
And and I'm I I've been out in my backyard firing this, you know, hitting targets 40, 50 feet away sometimes.
I mean, I'm just pounding it with this, and their mission four is unbelievable.
Linda, you've you've had a chance to now try both of them as well.
I have.
I mean, and this is the awesome thing.
Zero recoil, super quiet, you don't have to wear ear protection.
Like all these like little simple things.
And like if you're out there doing just target practice, just making sure you're doing your training.
Sometimes it even goes a hundred feet, Sean.
I mean, we got a whole bunch of new uh burner videos up there too.
So you can check them out at BYRNA.com forward slash Hannity so people can see how these really work.
Well, people can see how they work, and then eventually we're gonna have the Linda versus Sean test.
Uh, I won't give you any indication at all who's gonna win, but I know who won.
Um uh Linda, you want to take a guess?
And I'm not really a gambler.
That's not really how I roll.
It's not a gamble.
You already know who won.
Nice try.
Anyway, listen, just look at how people become incapacitated and ask yourself as part of your personal security strategies whether you want, like I love, a non-lethal option.
That's what burner offers.
Anyway, go to their website, it's burner, b y rn a dot com slash Hannity.
Look at these videos, they'll blow you away.
If if you like it, you're gonna get 10% off your order uh because you listen to the show.
BYRNA.com slash Hannity.
Check out the the latest news, check out the latest products, check out the latest videos, see how formidable this non-lethal defense, self-defense option is, and I think you're gonna love it like I do.
Burner B Y R N A.com slash Hannity.
You can't always get what you want.
But you can get Sean Hannity online at Hannity.com.
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, your call's coming up straight ahead.
You know, I've always said that the issue of abortion is a heart issue.
Now, through the science of 4D ultrasound, well, there's a great organization called Preborn, preborn.com slash Sean S E A N as their website.
And what they're doing is any expecting mom will get a free 4D ultrasound.
And through the science of ultrasound, they are introducing expecting moms to the miracle of birth that is growing within them.
And they hear a heartbeat.
And with 4D ultrasound, you could actually see facial features depending on what point at your pregnancy you're at.
You can count fingers and toes uh very early, much earlier than people would think.
So they built a network of clinics.
They offer all these services for free, the free 4D ultrasound.
They offer counseling.
Uh if you if you deliver your baby and you need help with diapers or counseling or baby formula, whatever it happens to be, they're there for you as well.
Unlike Planned Parenthood, they don't get one penny from the federal government.
And they have only been able to complete this great mission and continue this great mission because of your generosity, people in the pro-life community, people that believe in the sanctity of life.
Um I'm so impressed with it.
That's why I've decided to donate 4D ultrasound machines to pre-born because they're in desperate need of as much help as they can get.
Anyway, there are two ways to stand by your values because you know the government's not going to do it.
And you could donate securely.
You dial pound 250 on your cell.
You say the keyword baby, pound 250 on your cell, keyword baby, or their website, preborn.com slash Sean.
That's S-E-A-N.
Preborn.com slash Sean.
And you know what?
It's having a dramatic impact.
Women thinking about abortion, get introduced to the the miracle of birth within them, and they're choosing life.
Pretty amazing.
Um I want to, before I get to your calls, I want to re this is actually pretty interesting to me.
So asked about the horrible poll numbers that Biden is now getting and losing to Trump and all these swing states.
Uh you have Biden's spokesperson, Kate uh Bettingfield actually say, Oh, this is not a surprise at all.
No shocker at all.
Listen.
I think Axe of all people knows that in this moment they're always going to be, there's always going to be concern.
Now, look, was that a great poll for Joe Biden?
Of course not.
Of course not.
There was a lot about that poll that I think uh shows that what he's got to do is he's got to juice the bass and he's got to claim his share of independent voters.
I mean, fundamentally, what that poll shows is actually not a surprise, right?
Which is our politics is incredibly divided and hyperpartisan.
And there just aren't that many voters who are truly open to being persuaded.
And so for the Biden campaign, what they've got to do, focus on energizing the base vote and and taking that share of independent voters.
And I think, you know, let's not forget they have a year to make that case and to do that.
Anyway, 800-941 Shauna's on number.
Let's get to our phones here.
Uh as we all, our friend Mo the Liberal.
I got to meet Mo the Liberal.
Mo of the Liberals been calling this show.
I guess for what, 25, 27, 28 years now?
Is that how long?
A long time, Sean.
I know I when I finally met you, you you're the perfect caricature of the liberal that you are.
I mean, you look like an ex-hippie.
Well, Sean, I cut my hair off after I came back from fishing uh up in Canada in 1973, and I only recently grew it because I'm in the movie.
Uh seven weeks, seven grand.
Soon to be in theaters.
I play the old guy on the soup.
I play him real good too.
I didn't know you were a great actor, but I'm gonna go out of my way to see that movie.
When you can, will you send us over a copy?
Absolutely, Sean.
Yeah, I was uh I was a sniper in dog day afternoon, and you know you love to talk about guns.
I can shoot the eyes off of aunt.
I'd be I'd be shocked.
Maybe one day we'll give you the burner challenge and and take you out there with our special forces guys and see how good you really are, okay.
I I went out with uh my buddy was the head of the court authority, he took me out to their shooting range.
He said, holy oh Mo, you shoot better than I do.
That's pretty funny.
You know, the thing I like about burner, only because I've been doing radio and TV so long, you know, my hearing loss is pretty severe.
And you know, it's just part of the business.
Every anybody that's worked any length of time in radio that has hearing loss.
And what I love about the burner, especially the new rifle, the mission four, is that I can shoot again and and keep my skills up and not worry about you know blowing my eardrums out, which had been happening.
The last time I shot before this, my ears rang for like four weeks in a row.
It was awful.
Yeah, well, you know, I I work in music, Sean, and I try to stay away from the front of house speakers, but my ears ain't what they used to be either.
And uh I I always like I grew up in Canada.
I used to live on an island in Canada when I was a kid.
We used to shoot 22s.
Great fun.
Nothing wrong with it.
So what the hell went wrong with you in your life?
And are you still calling me the most dangerous man in America, or you've gotten over that?
Uh Sean, I love that that you enjoy when I said that.
When I said it, I meant it, you know.
Not that um So you don't think I'm the most dangerous man in America anymore?
Well, you know, Sean, you're still the minority in this country, you folks.
No matter what you say.
What do you mean, you folks?
What is what is you folks?
What does that mean?
Uh well, there's there's what?
There's three kinds of people in America at the moment.
We got your conservatives, ultra-conservatives, whatever.
You're people, you're my friends.
You got uh independence.
No, you got you got normal Americans, then they got crazy left-wingers like you.
It doesn't matter what I'm crazy, Sean.
I'm not out on the streets hurting anybody.
I got my own opinions.
I you know, I'd like to see health care improved.
Well, let me ask you, you're in New York.
What do you think all these people protesting and chanting Allah Akbar?
What do you think about all these peer people at the White House in front of the White House chanting Allahu Akbar and F. Joe Biden?
I I was in front of the White House during the moratorium, Sean.
I I you know, I I protest is protest.
You know, my best friend uh is uh owner.
Allahu Akbar, the words used by the g by the pilots on 9-11.
Really?
Yes, I know what it means, Sean.
Of course I do.
I'm a fairly aerodite human being like yourself, you know.
I think you're giving yourself a little too much credit.
But you still didn't answer my question.
Do you think I'm dangerous?
Uh Sean, what did I I said to you last time you're like a big truck with a heavy muffler at this point?
But you know, I don't think your ideas are dangerous.
I don't I think you're one of the best people I I've ever talked to.
But you know, uh, we we we gotta settle this stuff, and and nobody seems to want to do that, you know.
Okay, you tell me, how do you settle this?
Those that want sanctuary cities and states, then those of us that want the laws of the land obeyed and border secure.
How do you say well, tell me how you reconcile that issue?
How are you gonna reconcile climate alarmism where we don't drill frack or or or or get coal and we're dependent on the lifeblood of the world's economy with those of us that want us to be energy dominant?
How do you how do you reconcile, defund, dismantle no bail laws like in in this stupid state we live in called New York, uh, with those that believe in law and order?
Tell me how you reconcile that.
Sean, everything needs to be improved.
We're operating on the 1930 state of mind, our government.
We need to get smart, we need to get better.
You're not answering the question.
The answer is you can't reconcile those issues.
I don't see any middle ground on any of them.
There is no middle ground.
You're absolutely right.
But so either either your side wins or my side's gonna win.
And if your sides win, if your side wins, this is what we got.
A disaster.
Name me one good thing your president Joe Biden has done.
One successful policy of your president.
Tell me what it is.
Well, he uh he got me a little extra of my social security.
I'm very happy about that.
Oh, you're happy about your social security cola increase.
That's that that that is the the one big accomplishment of Joe Biden.
How do you think Joe how would you grade him on our borders?
Well, the borders, the borders, Sean, um well, you know, there's a look, there's a lot of problems.
Forget about it.
I don't need your analysis.
Give me a grade.
How has he handled our border crisis?
Uh uh he he works within the guidelines and the law, period.
No, he doesn't.
No, he's aiding and abetting the law breaking.
You get you get an F on that answer.
How's you how's Joe's energy policy working out?
Give me your grade.
I I got rid of my car eight months ago.
I never want to touch another one.
Okay.
So you don't want to answer that question.
How is how are these uh no bail laws working in your state of New York that you love so much that I'm getting the hell out of?
Tell me about how that's working out.
We need to end plea bargaining and only have trials for serious crimes.
That's serious guys.
So you're okay with no bail laws.
Okay.
No, bail is not for punishment.
Bail is to make sure you show up in court.
You're all, you're smart enough to know that.
I am too.
I've never had to do it, thank God, but uh what can I say?
I'm reading a book now about uh bail bondsman in Miami.
It's one of uh Elmore Leonard's books.
It's fabulous.
I think we may have to put you in the pokey for a few weeks and let you learn real life.
All right, Mo, we still love you, even though you're insane.
We like you.
Uh Sandy in the free state of Florida.
Sandy, how are you?
I gotta go down there and and live with you down there.
What's going on?
I'm fantastic.
Um I realized something.
I went to Walmart, haven't been there in years, got a silicone baking pan.
It's fabulous.
I think everybody should use one.
Now by the way, I when I go to Target or Walmart, I love those stores.
Those stores have everything.
Everything you could ever want.
I don't like crossing the ditch.
I live in Atlantic Beach.
Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vidra, that's my little run back and forth.
I go you're you're in the Jacksonville area, which is a really beautiful part of Florida.
Yeah.
I mean, well, we have four new houses being built on my street right now.
So they bought them for two million, chop them down, build a six million dollar house.
Everybody's doing great in Florida.
Come on down.
All right.
So how many years ago did you move to Florida?
Um, I moved here when I was four.
Oh, how how long have you owned a home in Florida?
Let me ask that question.
Over 20 years.
Okay.
Now you don't you don't have to answer this.
You can give me a percentage if you want.
Based how much did you pay, or you can answer it another way.
How much of a percentage value increase have you had in your home in the in the last you know, over that 20-year period?
Like if you paid, let's say you paid a million dollars for your home.
What is that home worth today?
Seven million.
So a seven-fold increase, which by the way, for any American investing in 20 years means you could retire on seven million dollars and live a cheaper lifestyle anywhere you want, right?
Oh, yeah.
It's definitely cheaper here.
And we don't have to pay state income tax.
Exactly.
This is why I'm getting the hell out of New York.
We have homestead exemption on our home.
you know, that 3% increase that's tapped out and 10% increase.
If it's not homesteaded, That's tapped out.
And and that's why that whole Trump thing down in Mar-a-Lago doesn't make any sense with the people that are in New York that are doing what they're doing.
Uh it just doesn't make any sense at all.
The judge is guilty of what they're accusing Trump of.
Uh listen, I'm just telling you, I know Palm Beach Real Estate.
I have a lot of realtor friends down there.
I am telling you that property is worth close to a billion dollars, if not more.
And the judge still holds to, oh, it's worth 18 million.
You're an idiot.
The judge is more guilty than Trump of the thing they're accusing Trump of.
Yeah.
And and I've been in real estate for over 36 years.
So yep.
Yeah.
All of real estate here.
Well, that's awesome.
Sandy, uh, hope to see you down there soon.
God bless you.
We appreciate you being with us.
All right, quick break right back straight to the phones.
800-941 Sean, our number as we continue.
Transmitting loud and proud.
Ghost to coast.
Liberalism failed.
The working men and women in this country.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, back to our busy phones.
Another free state.
This one, Texas.
We got Ken standing by.
Hey, Ken, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
Nice to talk to you.
Glad you called, sir.
I I'm an American Jew, fourth generation, and I've always been foreign almost agonizingly so how Jews, particularly reform Jews, vote so liberal.
It seems to go against their own personal best interests.
And I don't understand it.
Listen, I have I have so many friends in the Jewish community, and I if I told you the number of hours I have debated this issue uh with many of my friends that happen to be Jewish, I am telling you, and every one of them almost to a tier of they're all conservative,
and they do not understand why why so many in the Jewish community, in their community, in their synagogues and their, you know, i i in their circles are liberal.
However, lately they've been telling me after the way Democrats have been reacting to this terror attack in in Gaza by Hamas, they've they've had it.
This apparently is like a tipping point they're saying for many, many people in the Jewish community that historically have voted Democrat.
They said, This is it, they're done.
I hope, I hope they're right.
Well, Rush Limbaugh used to say that people were liberal before they were anything else.
I used to cringe, but you know, my dad's a West Point graduate, and he still votes Democrat nonstop.
It's it's amazing.
I mean, I watched, John, I watch those protests, and I watch these people with their LBTQ flags and the and all the all the different strides protesting for Hamas and all that kind of stuff.
But what I noticed, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
There were no Trump supporters there, and probably no Republicans.
It's painfully obvious which party is anti-Semitic.
By the way, the you know, people the the biggest supporters of the Jewish community in America are Christians.
Now, what you ask, well, Hannity, why is that?
It's very simple.
This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles, and biblically speaking, the the belief is is that the Jewish people were God's chosen people.
And then only through, you know, Jesus, his sacrifice, uh, being nailed to the cross, dying, and and you know, reconciling others to his father, is how uh non-Jewish people, you know, get that status, if you will.
I don't know.
I'm not saying it the right way.
Uh, but anyway, I appreciate the call, my friend.
Speaking of this very issue, I want to remind you there are people on the ground right now helping the 200,000 plus Israelis that have been devastated since this attack on October the 7th.
So many people have been displaced.
Uh schools in Israel are closed, businesses remain closed.
Uh, and the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're on the ground right now, and the need, there's so many people in dire need of critical essentials like food and medicine and emergency supplies, uh, and the elderly need a ton of help.
And anyway, in in light of this attack, they're doing phenomenal work.
And as Israel's ground invasion now is in Gaza City, more than 320 IDF soldiers have been killed to date.
You know, the the state of Israel is in a real major war, and the people are suffering, but thanks to groups like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, people are really making a difference.
They're there, they're on the ground, they're providing all the support.
There are thousands of people in Israel that need your help right now.
There's two ways to donate.
Dial pound 250 on yourself.
Say the keyword Hannity for Israel.
That's H-A-N-N-I-T-Y-F-O-R-Israel.com.
