This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, hang on, I got to reach for something.
Ah, got it.
That was pretty.
That's you have to be a professional to be able to pull that off, right, Linda?
That's that's not an easy one.
Very hard.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Uh here we are on Super Tuesday.
And we have what, 15 states and America, Samoa.
Uh that's actually for the Democrats.
No, Republicans, the U.S. territory of American Samoa.
They're they're holding caucuses, Republican caucuses there.
Uh but um, no, maybe it's just the Democrats.
I got to get this right.
Anyway, we're looking at a lot of polls.
We saw the New York Times Siena poll, Trump up by four.
Uh we saw the Wall Street Journal, Trump up by five.
Uh the CBS poll to me was the most interesting because it had Trump over the 50 percentile mark at 52%, which I think is a big, big deal, but it's it's more important than that.
If you look at the New York Times Siena poll, for example, 10% of 2020 Joe Biden voters now say they're back on Trump.
In the same poll, 40% say Trump's policies help them.
Same poll, 43% said Joe Paul Joe Biden's policies are hurting them.
The CBS poll, and by the way, remember last week we had a 38% gallup approval rating for Trump, and 86% of Americans saying, yeah, Joe is too weak, frail, and a cognitive mess to be president.
86% of all Americans.
I mean, that that is to me I don't know if they're putting their heads in the stand.
I don't know if they're in denial.
I'm not really sure.
You know, uh, for example, there's a profile of the New Yorker reporting on the president as close as AIDS, they don't believe the polling.
Quote a series of senior aides saying that they doubt but Biden is trailing Trump by as much as some of these polls have suggested.
Polling is broken, one of them said.
You can't figure out how to get someone on the phone.
Polsters partly concede the point.
Few people these days are willing to be candid with a stranger.
There are challenges, but I can tell you the three guests that I'll introduce in a minute, they have nailed pretty much every primary uh in this uh primary season so far this year.
Uh but the CBS poll was, you know, how was the economy under Trump?
65% said good.
How is it under Biden?
60% say it's bad.
And by the way, and he's gonna blame uh uh big corporate, greedy corporations and shrinkflation and attack capitalism and free markets.
That's not why the the only reason companies, if they're shrinking the amount of content and the packages that they're putting together is because they're trying to find ways to keep their profit margins up and keep their employees working, and they're not doing it for free.
Uh otherwise they wouldn't be in business.
Wall Street Journal uh, you know, is just one of the latest to find again, and we've seen this in pretty much every state, starting with New Hampshire.
Um I'm starting with Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada and South Carolina, and moving to Michigan and Idaho and North Dakota last night.
Trump what had 86% of the vote last night there.
But anyway, it's immigration ends up being the top issue.
That's not good for Joe Biden for all the obvious reasons.
And then meanwhile, uh Fox News has a poll, and Donald Trump is uh enjoying a huge amount of support from voters that traditionally make up a big part of the Democratic Party base.
Donald Trump now in this poll has 28% of support from African Americans.
51% majority support Donald Trump voters under the age of 30.
48% support among Hispanic Americans and 43% support with suburban women.
And that's even after all the demagoguing about abortion, and there'll be a lot more and more recently in veto fertilization, although instantaneously Donald Trump, you know, came out in support of invito fertilization, IVF they call it.
Anyway, um and then uh there's other things that stood out at me.
You know, besides all this, if you look at the questions that they're asking, um they're saying only 41% give Joe high marks on addressing climate change.
Uh only 41% say he's he's helped the African American community at all.
Only 38% he's helped the working class.
58% said no.
36%, that's all the support he has in terms of improving the U.S. world image, sixty one percent say he's mostly failed on the handling of the economy.
Sixty one percent say he's mostly failed.
Sixty three percent that he is mostly failed on making the U.S. safer.
Sixty nine percent said that he's mostly failed unifying the country improving border security, seventy one percent say he's mostly failed.
I'm worried about the 29%.
Where the hell do they come from?
Well what are they thinking?
Anyway, our pollsters are with us uh John McLaughlin, Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley, uh John McLaughlin's associates, uh Robert Cahaley with Trafalgar and Insider Advantage uh with Matt Towery uh welcome all of you back to the program.
Well let's start with tonight.
Matt Towery what are we expecting tonight?
Oh I don't think you can expect any uh major shockers tonight.
Uh you might have a little interesting action on the Republican side in Virginia and Vermont but it'll it'll be insignificant.
Virginia's Republican Party is primarily Trump, I believe Vermont I'm not sure of the rest of the country, you're gonna see Trump win massively and um I think you're gonna see Biden perform well also I this this business Biden doesn't have an opponent.
Nobody knows who Dean Phillips is I tried to be nice and put him on once but nobody knows who the guy is.
Well I mean Sean the expectation that's been created by the media is that people are going where they have the opportunity they're going to vote for unstor a category where they're not committed.
And that's not everywhere.
But uh that's not really going to materialize beyond any great level I mean he's got his nomination and Trump is definitely going to have his nomination by next week.
The issue is what does Nikki Haley do?
And really she's relatively irrelevant after this point.
What she does really doesn't matter.
Let's get your take John McLaughlin.
Well I think I think Matt's right because uh you know Trump has with North Dakota last night he has two hundred and seventy three delegates she only has forty three and uh after tonight we should be over a thousand on our way to the twelve hundred one thousand two hundred and fifteen needed to win.
But Donald Trump's run when you I've I've been in Baltimore's past campaigns and in twenty sixteen that went on for a while.
In twenty twenty we're actually picking up delegates faster than we did in twenty twenty.
So it's he's you know he's gonna pick up the nomination next week.
It's over.
And as Matt said Nikki Haley's irrelevant she has to decide what she wants to do for herself um because Donald Trump is moving forward and the race with Joe Biden is on.
As you saw last week when you went to Texas with President Trump um Joe Biden followed you.
And Joe Biden he's afraid of Dr. think he followed me or did he follow Trump?
Let's be real here.
Well you you're the one who who hosted the show on the border.
I did.
And it had been planned way in advance, yes.
Well somebody's phone is acting up there.
We're gonna figure out which one.
Hang on let me go to Robert Cahale.
Uh by the way Matt Towery and Robert now have a new podcast.
Robert uh how do people find it?
Yeah just go to wherever you get podcasts and it's called polling plus and we're on all the major platforms you can hear us once a week and uh kind of give our uh opinions about what's going on in politics and plus a lot of other uh fun and related subjects.
But I d I I don't even know how to take that.
I'll le let that go.
What do you see happening tonight?
Well I I think what we should see is uh a big Trump victory uh across a lot of uh a lot of these states and I think shortly after the polls clause Nikki Haley will come out and give a d a victory speech.
You think she's gonna give a victory speech?
She'll give a speech that sounds like a victory speech the media will say that Nikki's doing really well and that Trump uh underperformed expectations.
Look, I don't have anything against Nikki Haley.
Um she came in third in Iowa.
She lost by double digits in New Hampshire.
Two to one she lost against none of the above in Nevada and didn't even it didn't even apply to be in in in the delegate race out there.
Uh then at that point, if I was advising Nikki Haley and she has presidential ambitions, I would have said with the polls showing that she was going to lose by twenty percent in her state of South Carolina, I would say don't do that and come back in four years because the Republican Party uh is going to have an open primary and I'm not sure what the thinking was on their part.
Do you?
Uh well I can tell you this uh there's nobody out there telling him to come back in four years.
Uh because the fact is a lot has happened since she was governor and a lot including the entire America first movement, which she has so far distanced herself from on purpose.
So I I think she's doing what she needs to do because there's no room the way this party is now for that philosophy and um candidates with that philosophy are just aren't going to win.
What uh John McLaughlin uh look I don't tell people what to do with their lives, but I think uh I think from the get go and and there were people that I like in this race.
I'm fond of Governor Ron DeSantis and um I understand why President Trump was angry at him.
He felt hey wait a minute I I really went to bat for you in 2018.
What are you doing competing against me?
And he felt that way about Nikki Haley.
That's fine.
It's a blood sport.
It's it's not for the fainthearted what is what would be the best message for Trump assuming we're all right and that this is going to be a very good night for him.
The best message is is exactly what he did in South Carolina, exactly what he's been doing.
He's taking it to Joe Biden.
Uh Nicky Haley's I mean California you got 169 delegates up and she's losing 72 to 18 and and the reality of this is President Trump is going up in the polls.
He leaves all those polls who cited he leaves Joe Biden in the polls because it's a contrast between you you know you're worse off under Joe Biden you're better off under Donald Trump and and all this nonsense where they're trying to put Donald Trump in jail and indict him and then convict him Americans are are way beyond that.
We're looking at Joe Biden with saying he's old, he's corrupt it's time for him to go and as President Trump says it's time to fire Joe Biden.
So that's what that's what the voters want to hear tonight.
That's what they're going to hear from President Trump.
Yeah I would expect that too Matt Towery I mean that is a little bit of an unknown.
I mean these are uncharted waters as the president you know potentially faces a number of trials before November.
I I think most of these cases will have to be put off till after the election which would be a good thing I think for the country.
I don't think it's fair.
I think at some point it becomes election interference.
I think we've weaponized the justice uh system in this country but um assuming that that's the case and maybe okay okay New York throws another charge at him with the Stormy Daniels case I think people are going to roll their eyes.
Yeah I I may be the only lawyer or ex-lawyer ex-Tolster or whatever in America uh I thought that Trump had real problems with these legal issues two years ago but just bit by bit they've fallen by the wayside.
I agree with mostly what John say New York could be a little problematic.
Georgia's probably gonna get delayed till after the election and nothing else.
I will say this two things to Donald Trump number one and for people um who follow this race into the fall beware of of um polls that give you gifts right now trust me these polls are going to become very close.
I don't care if Joe Biden is is sitting in in the White House eating Gerber baby food.
It's gonna be a one point race in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania and once Wisconsin and these pollsters will change their methodology and it'll get very close.
Second thing I'd say is beware a billionaire is bringing gifts because so many people now have worked so hard to try to keep this man from winning and they plotted they got Nikki Haley they got other people he has spoiled every one of them.
The only thing Donald Trump needs right now is money because New York is trying to stave him and and cut off his money.
They pinpointed his exact Cash flow.
I would just say be very careful people offering gifts right now because they didn't like you last week and they're not going to like you next week.
By the way, to Robert and John, I just want you guys to know we're gonna have in the future an intervention as it relates to Matt Towery.
Matt Terry tried to pull this on me once and and he got addicted to the early birds special and his place in Florida, and I dragged his ass out of retirement once, and he actually mentioned it uh the other day, and I'm I'm ready to wring his neck if he wants to do that.
I'm not gonna let him.
We'll talk about we'll talk about that now, not on national radio.
No, I like talking about it on seven hundred and fifty great radio stations.
Why not?
I think it's the perfect place, it's appropriate as any other place.
Uh but anyway.
You don't want to go there, brother.
All right, we'll be watching tonight.
Matt Towery, Robert Cahaley, and John McLaughlin, our polls.
When we come back, we'll hit the phones.
It's toll-free.
It's 800-941 as we continue later on, Governor Christy Noam and much more.
All right, let us get to our busy busy telephones as we say hi to Jerry in uh my home state, the free state of Florida.
Jerry, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
We are well, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh born and raised 61 years in Southern California, a three-year resident of Florida, loving it here.
Uh listen, uh I'm telling you, the people are great everywhere I've been.
I mean, it's nothing like New York City, I can tell you that.
California too.
Sure.
It's an Adam Schifhole up there, trust me.
Uh anyway, what's going on?
Um I I love your interviews with with uh President Trump, and you had another great one the other day, and you you always start to ask him a question about how do you get you know that personality because you know him really well and you mentioned that, and you say, How Mr. Trump, how do we get that personality, that other side of you to shine, you know, in the in the public eye.
And he always seems to evade that question.
He kind of goes off in another tangent.
And somehow you guys close to him have gotten him to show that other side of him because he needs these progressives and all these other, you know, uh non-Trump folks to to jump on board in November.
Otherwise, you know, we all know we're gonna we're gonna have some struggles.
So how how do you we how do we get that to happen?
Look, um, and you're describing it accurately.
I mean, I knew him many, many years before he ever really thought about running for president.
He kind of flirted with it.
I never nobody ever took it seriously.
I know I never took it seriously.
I think Roger Stone actually did.
Roger Stone saw this a long time ago, uh, to his credit.
And but for the rest of us, I mean, to I never thought he would be serious about it.
When you meet him, and when I used to interview him long before he was ever going to be president, I mean, you'd go to Trump Tower, uh you'd be met by people, you would uh I mean he'd bring me around and introduce me to Avanka and Eric and Don Jr. and their their offices were right next to his office, and and just was gracious as can be.
Well, he'd walk me down from Trump Tower.
He'd take me to the store that they had on the main floor in the lobby of the hot of the of Trump Tower, and you know, he'd start picking stuff out and saying, Here, take this with you, take this with you.
And I don't like to get stuffer free from people.
I'm not I'm not there for that.
Uh I'm a kind of pay my own way type of person, but but he'd like force it on you.
Like, okay, thank you.
I appreciate it.
It's not necessary.
Um, but that's the way he is.
Engaging, humorous to a fault, you know, irreverent, politically incorrect, even at times, but you know, the the kind of person that you're captivated to be around.
He's he's got a he's got this infectious personality, and I would argue a lot of the circumstances that he's been through.
He's been under fire from the day he came down that escalator with Melania.
I'm not sure he ever expected that.
I'm not sure any of us ever expected it would get that intense.
And so it has forced him.
He is a natural fighter.
He's a street fighter.
And I kind of relate to it because my entire life, I I I can just relate to that aspect of it.
I never thought I'd survive in radio or TV.
I thought I always felt for years I was doing my last show.
Maybe this is my last show.
I don't know.
But uh that that's up to the dear Lord above.
And I will just tell you that that it's there.
And I've even seen it when he's been president.
It's just hard when you're under constant fire.
And that's usually the answer that he gives.
But but he's going to have his moments.
If you notice there's a big difference between, I think the town halls that he gives and the rallies that he gives.
And the rally, I think they're geared a lot more towards the base of the party.
I think he's getting, you know, he's feeding off the crowd.
I've I've given speeches.
It's a natural tendency if you're giving a speech and people are getting worked up on what you're saying.
You tend to maybe take it a little further and a little further, and because they're kind of asking for it, and you want to make people happy.
But when he's in the town hall environment, you could just see.
I mean, I it's kind of laughable to watch the media try to say, well, he mixed up this person and that person.
He's in he has cognitive decline.
I'm like, okay, that is that like a joke.
Because he can talk about any subject uh for hours on end.
He knows I can ask him any question.
He'll have an answer.
He's dialed into the issues of the day.
He has strong a strong belief system, and yet on the outside of that part of his life, try and imagine living with the threat of 91 and indictments against you, and knowing that a lot of this is because of lawfare or the weaponization of our Justice Department, knowing it's fundamentally unfair.
I mean, this case in New York, he can't get a he can't get a fair trial in New York.
We saw that, you know, summary judgment.
Let's just go right to the penalty phase and we'll we'll go after Donald Trump, even though he has all the disclaimers and every contract he has about valuations.
Nobody was hurt, nobody complained, everybody got paid, there's no victim, and then they come up with basically canceling the entire company and family in New York and charging them nearly a half a billion dollars and and fines and and taking over conservatorship of his proper properties.
And it's I I think that would make the average person snap.
Now, it hasn't done that to him.
And I think that as we get closer, we're now 244 days outside of this election.
As we get closer, he seems to me, my observation, not seeing him regularly, that he's getting really dialed into this campaign.
And I I think he will see more of that.
Um having spoken my sources, if you will, the plans that they have in terms of reaching out to uh varying, I don't want to play done on either politics here, but whenever you have a poll, it's often broken down demographically.
He's he's looking for votes outside of the base.
I can promise you that.
And that's going to happen.
And and hopefully those moments will shine, and people will see the person that I know is in there too.
Um but it's a good question.
I mean, but uh if you imagine if if you were in this position, he even says, I wouldn't even be talking to you today if I didn't fight.
He, you know, politics is a blood sport, and it's called a blood sport for a reason.
It is a is it is a downright ugly, nasty business.
It's not that much different in the media, but it's it's on a much smaller scale.
And I I have no I'm a guy that likes to fight.
I have no problems, you know, fighting fake Jake, Humpty Dumpty, or you know, any of these radical conspiracy peddling morons over at MSDNC.
I just don't.
I enjoyed it actually.
But I got more important things to do with airtime, and and that includes listening to people like you, but let's see what happens, okay?
What do you think?
It's great.
I I think that's that's a great answer.
And people don't realize he doesn't have to do this.
He is like the ultimate American that he's even doing this and fighting the battles like you discussed.
Um people have asked me, you know, in my life in the course of my life, I don't think anybody's really serious.
Would you ever run for president?
I'm like, you must really hate my guts.
Do you not see what happens to anybody that runs?
Do you not see what what happens to their families?
Why would anyone want to put themselves through that?
Um so I mean it's flattering, but I don't it it's not where my mind is at, and and nor if I think I could be elected dog catcher, to be honest.
But uh I I would certainly I know the principles that would guide me as a leader if I was ever in that position, stranger things have happened.
Um but I think God has a different plan for my life, and I'm grateful for that.
Um, it's hard.
It's a, it's not an easy, it's not easy.
One of the sad things about Joe Biden, when I watch him is like, is there anybody in his inner circle that cares more about him?
That is that sees what's happening and wants to, wants to inject themselves and say it's time, Joe, apparently not because they're moving forward.
Anyway, Jerry, appreciate it, buddy.
Glad you're in the free state of Florida as well.
Uh, let's say hi to Bill is in Arizona, Bill, Arizona.
Well, Republicans need Arizona, November 5th.
That's for sure.
And probably six, seven, eight, nine, 10th, and probably through December, but we need Arizona.
Hi, Sean.
It's a pleasure.
Hey, quick question.
Is there any way we can sue Biden for wrongful death on behalf of the young lady's family that was murdered?
I personally think the time has come that the people that have allowed what these former top FBI officials call an invasion of military age men, uh, we've got to hold them accountable for what they are allowing to happen, aiding and abetting in the law breaking.
They, they have blood on their hands.
This is, this is those that have allowed illegal immigrants out of prison and not deported them as our laws mandate have not turned them over to ice.
Those that literally have codified into law, illegal, uh, activity like, sanctuary city and state status and those that ate in a bet and and offer transportation and free phones and and prepaid credit cards and and and free housing and everything in between I I think at some point you are responsible for what these people do.
You didn't vet them you didn't do your job you didn't enforce the law and if any other American did it trust me the this justice department I guarantee you if you're a conservative they would be coming after you'd be handcuffed you'd be tried you'd be convicted in a liberal jurisdiction and sent away probably for the rest of your life that has to end.
And God forbid my prediction is correct I guarantee you there are terror cells that Joe Biden has allowed among the 10 million illegals in this country right now.
They will plot plan and scheme a massive attack on our country and Americans are going to die.
I pray to God I'm wrong.
But if that happens I blame him the blood will be on his hands if we found out they came in illegally because of of his policies and him not enforcing the law and him taking it a step further by facilitating lawbreakers.
Make sense?
Absolutely sorry I hold people accountable.
All right quick break right back to our busy phones toll free on numbers 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program as we continue this super Tuesday now news is covering everything on Fox but I will be a guest at the top of the hour at nine o'clock tonight Eastern 6 Pacific on the Fox News channel hope you'll join us up next our final roundup and information overload hours.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941-SHAWN, our toll-free telephone number.
David is in Los Angeles, KEIB.
What's going on, David?
How are you sir?
Hi son thanks for taking the call I'm I'm calling from Venice Beach, California kind of the belly of the beast of a broken uh politics it kind of is but the weather doesn't suck and it's kind of cool there although I think the the homeless have taken over just about every part of California at this point, right?
They have and that's that's what I'm I'm calling to talk about at these nonprofits that are operating out here.
Gavin Newsom's given 21 billion dollars towards the homeless cleanup efforts and basically all of this money there's zero accountability for where it's going and there's a measure today State Measure one on the ballot for another six point three billion dollars to go towards this.
And there's all these nonprofits operating on here but there's zero accountability.
They have to declare a 990 but it doesn't say who's giving this money and they're basically doubting it out to all of their cronies and in turn this money's coming back to support for Democrat candidates down the road and kind of what what I was thinking to talk about is why is there no reform and how nonprofits are held accountable for their money, both on the federal and state level.
And I would I would like to hear from you about that.
Well, I think you I think you're you're you're raising a lot of good questions.
Uh by the way, your state now is facing a seventy billion dollar shortfall the last time I looked this year alone, and and certainly uh they have not dealt with the problems of of crime and homelessness or any of these social ills, and yet they're offering, let's see, Sanctuary State status.
They are offering now free health care, and uh now they want to give uh first-time homeowner owners, even if you're an illegal immigrant, the benefit of of that too, and guarantee that as well.
I mean, it is all you know, it it's all in violation of federal law.
I I don't even know what to tell you, except probably the my best advice is maybe find another place to live.
And I know that might be hard for whatever reason, but maybe you'll look for your opportunity and just say I've had enough, and I want a safer place to live and a better way of life, and you can find it.
It's there.
I've been look, I've lived all around the country.
I'm used to moving, it doesn't bother me at all.
I'm I'm kind of a professional at it.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, my friend.
