This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I've always been a fan of Dr. Phil.
I'll explain in a second when he joins us.
But he did something recently.
He actually been watching what's been going on at the border and decided to do something about it.
Go down there, see for himself, take videos, talk to the people on the ground.
And he learned an awful lot.
And it's interesting and even more fascinating that he showed up on The View and tried to, by the way, The View is that hard-hitting news show on ABC.
But anyway, tried to inform the ladies of The View what he saw with his own eyes, what Border Patrol was telling him in terms of that they're using American tax dollars and they're shipping children into prostitution rings and sweatshops.
This is something we have reported on for years on this program.
And then he explained how damaging and harmful it is to children to shut down schools during COVID.
But don't worry, if you have sent your kids to a private school like Governor Newsom, they had in-person learning while the rest of the state's kids did not.
Anyway, here's Dr. Phil from The View yesterday.
Let's listen.
My understanding is that you went to the southern border.
Now you're saying that you're going to give people facts.
What did you take away from that experience and what kind of reporting are you going to be bringing back from that experience?
I'll tell you a fact I took away.
I talked to the head of all the border guards down there, the head of the union.
I asked him straight up, kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers and addresses.
Do we check those out?
He said, well, we call them.
Is it possible that we're sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops?
He said, it's not possible.
It is absolute.
We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops.
Some children.
Well, who knows?
Okay.
don't know i said are you so what kind of checking do they do So they call the number and say, do you know about this child?
They say, yes.
Will you receive them when they come?
Yes.
I said, is it possible that that's a prostitution ring?
He said, we know enough to know that in a number of cases, it has turned out to be absolute sex ring.
It has turned out to be an absolute sweatshop.
I said, how is this possible?
Like 08-09, smartphones came on and kids started, they stopped living their lives and started watching people live their lives.
And so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality since records have ever been kept.
And it's just continued on and on and on.
And then COVID hits 10 years later, and the same agencies that knew that are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years.
Who does that?
Who takes away the support system for these children?
Who takes them away and shuts it down?
And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested.
And in fact, sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers with no way to watch.
And referrals dropped 50 to 60 percent.
Dr. Phil joins us.
He's got a brand new book out.
It's on Amazon.com.
We'll put it on Hannity.com.
It's called We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for American Soul and Sanity.
Dr. Phil, how are you, sir?
Great to have you on the program again.
I'm good, Sean.
It's good talking to you.
You know what I always loved about you when I watched your daytime program?
You were no holds barred.
And I couldn't believe some people would go on the show and they'd give you the dumbest answers.
Well, do you talk to your wife that way?
Yeah.
I'm like, well, you're not allowed to talk to people that way and expect them to love you in the end.
Just simple things like that, just basic, pure common sense that you applied to your show.
And I noticed that you often really help people, unlike some of the other daytime programs that I thought were absolutely useless.
Like, you are not the father.
You are the father.
I mean, I couldn't stand that part, but I thought you really were in this to help people have better lives.
And you did a lot of great work, I thought, there.
Well, thank you.
I'm proud of what we did for 21 years.
And during that time, I really watched the questions that we were getting from people evolve because things changed across time.
You know, when I started, the first text message had never been sent.
I mean, think about it.
We weren't so tech dependent back in 2002 when I first started 21 years of taping.
And then long about 08, 09, they dropped smartphones on everybody, and we weren't smart anymore.
We started becoming dependent on this stuff, and it changed our entire society.
By the way, did you ever have an experience either you're out to dinner or you're hanging out with your family and where normally you'd be having discussions.
Every single person is on their phone at the same time, and we don't even communicate like we used to anymore.
I forbid that, by the way, when I'm with my kids, my family, I'm like, all right, put your phone down.
This is our time.
You have to do that because, you know, the average person checks their phone 352 times a day.
Oh, my gosh.
By the way, I'm probably double that because of my work, but I do have somewhat of an excuse.
Yeah, it becomes a tool, but for kids, they get addicted to it.
And it really is an addiction.
If you look at the brain, it lights up just like it does for heroin or any other drug.
And, you know, I changed what I'm doing because the questions I get, the challenges people are facing change.
And I've absolutely come to understand that family in America is under attack.
And if you ever want to subvert a society, you start with family, you start with children.
And that's why I've written We've Got Issues.
Look, Sean, I love this country.
I really do.
I stand up when a flag goes by.
I put my hand over my heart when I play the national anthem.
I love this country.
I believe that it's going to be everything that we've ever hoped that it would be.
And I just can't watch it get hijacked by these extreme activists coming in wanting to say, okay, we're going to ignore science.
We're going to ignore biology.
We're going to ignore history.
We're going to start teaching kids that it's okay to strive for a quality of outcome instead of working for a meritocracy.
And so I've written about that.
That's why I say how you can stand strong for America's soul and sanity.
People have to understand what's at stake here.
You know, there's a lot of great, a lot of great advice that I think anybody can benefit from.
And you go into detail how things have changed.
You mentioned cell phones and the amount of times people check their phone every day.
And you talk about faith and family community.
And you talk about 10 working principles for a healthy society.
And by the way, you said one thing that really struck me about you don't always have to win an argument.
You can listen to the other person's point of view.
I got criticized when I interviewed Gavin Newsom.
And I had promised him before the interview, I'm going to let you answer the question, and I won't interrupt you.
And some people jumped on me and said, why didn't you stop him?
I'm like, because I told him I'd give him time to answer, then I would give him my rebuttal.
I did.
But I thought the conversation was worthwhile.
I think he's nuts.
His views are absolutely crazy.
In person, he happens to be a nice guy, but his views are crazy.
What caused you to want to go to the border?
Well, you know, I hear everything, and you can't get straight scoop about what's going on.
And you see all the different sides.
I wanted to see this for myself.
I'm a huge proponent of law enforcement.
I'm a huge proponent of the military.
I have great respect for the men and women in uniform.
I wanted to go down and talk to them and let them tell me what their lived experience was down there.
And boy, was it eye-opening.
They told me, look, we signed up.
We wanted to guard the border for our country.
We wanted to protect America.
And we've become social workers.
We don't apprehend anymore.
We process.
And it's driving us crazy.
I mean, the morale is such a challenge for them because they're not chasing these people and protecting our border so we know who's coming and trying to come in.
They now are meeting these people, not at points of entry, but coming out of the river.
They have to give them a ride to a processing center.
And for some of them, if they're intercepted by the federals border guards, then they get processed, given a court date that's seven to ten years away, if ever.
And then they've got papers and they're released into the country.
I mean, it's the catch and release program.
And they're saying, we don't get it.
There are times that they've had literally thousands and thousands of people coming across, not at a port of entry, that are having to be processed.
And I asked them straight up about these children.
I said, what's happening with these children?
They said, some of them are getting recycled.
They'll come through with a group that makes it look like a family.
And two or three weeks later, we see the same children with another group.
So we know they're being recycled so people can get into the country.
And we're just so frustrated.
We don't know what to do.
And I talked to the head, Brandon Judd, the head of the union for the guards, and I said, what do you need?
He said, we don't need more money.
We don't need more agents.
We don't need new laws.
We just need the ones that are on the books to be enforced.
And we need to be allowed to do our jobs.
And we'll have this under control in no time.
All right, quick freakboard with Dr. Phil on the other side.
His new book, We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity.
800-941-Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, we continue with Dr. Phil.
His new book is out, We've Got Issues.
It's how you can stand for a strong America and America's Soul and Sanity.
Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores around the country.
Dr. Phil, I'd been down to the border reporting on this for well over a decade and a half, two decades.
Here's where we are today, and I'm going to the border yet again on Thursday with President Trump.
I guarantee you, Dr. Phil, and I pray to God that I'm wrong and I'm proven wrong, that among the 10 million unvetted or around 10 million are going to be people that have nefarious intentions and that are forming terror cells in our country, and they will attack, and Americans will die as a result of this.
And putting aside the instances where crimes committed by illegals like the death of this young nursing student in Georgia.
Well, I think we would be incredibly naive and narcissistic to think that out of all of the people that have come across that border from these places that you just described, and they told me that's where they're coming from, we would be incredibly naive and narcissistic to think that they're not, some of them are not in this country with ill intent for Americans.
And people need to speak up about this.
You know, I did set out 10 principles that I think are critical for a healthy society.
And one of those is that we can't remain silent just so other people don't get upset.
We have to be willing to find our voice and speak up.
And I'm really trying to have a call to action with We've Got Issues to that middle 80% of America that really just wants to live and live, but they need to recognize, hey, I've got to speak up here.
I've got to be heard on this issue.
And one of the things that I really think this book does is I think people agree with what you're saying and what I'm saying, but they don't have the facts to fight back against the other side with.
I'm giving them the facts.
I'm giving them the numbers.
I'm giving them the actual information they need.
So when somebody says, well, you know, it's this or it's that, they say, no, that's not true.
Here are the facts.
I've got them.
They've been vetted.
They've been checked.
And I invite people to fact check me on everything that's in this book because it's been triple vetted.
And I think people will be empowered by having that information.
I understand, by the way, that you have now partnered with the Trinity Broadcasting, I guess, network to launch a new TV network, Merit Street Media, I guess, you're launching.
I'm kind of glad to hear that you're getting back on the air.
I think it's great.
I wish you would come over to Fox.
We'd love to have you.
At least I would.
Not that anybody ever listens to me, but I think your voice is an important one and your work is important.
And I think I have a lot of respect for the fact that you actually took the time to do all of this at the border and you learned a lot and you're sharing it with even the ladies of the view.
Were they open-minded at all?
And I only have about 30 seconds.
No, no, I don't think that they were particularly open to it.
But it was interesting when I said the things I said about the mismanagement of COVID, the audience erupted in applause.
And I don't think they liked that, but it tells me that if you deliver the truth, that people respond to it, and they did.
And so I know that maybe it's good to go there and deliver the message.
And I'm going to respect your 30 seconds.
I thank you for talking about We've Got Issues, how you can stand strong for America's soul insanity.
And it's always good to talk to you, Sean.
All right, Dr. Phil, his new book, We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity.
We'll put a link on Hannity.com.
It's on Amazon.com, bookstores now all across the country.
Dr. Phil, always appreciate your time and appreciate your work.
Thank you so much for being back with us.
Thanks for what you do.
We'll talk soon.
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour in what will certainly be a landmark case, the Supreme Court 9-0 unanimous decision ruling that states like Colorado, Maine, Illinois cannot remove Donald Trump from the presidential election ballot.
Quote, we conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office, but states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency.
For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal office holders and candidates rests with Congress, not the states, the ruling said.
And the judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court, therefore, cannot stand.
President Trump reacted immediately thereafter with a post on Truth Social that literally said the ruling was a big win for America.
He gave a statement at Mar-a-Lago in a speech that he held there and went on to say that this decision will help unify the country.
And former President Trump now joins us, sir.
How are you?
I bet you're pretty happy today.
Well, I am.
It was a great decision.
We're very honored by it.
And it basically said you have to win by getting the votes as opposed to some other way.
And that's really what we wanted.
And it was a very powerful decision, very well crafted and very well respected, I must say.
Thank you.
Let's talk a little bit more about this.
I mean, you did have concurring opinions.
For example, Judge Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and her concurring opinion agreed with even the three liberals on this case.
But you had even the three liberals on the court case, although they wrote a concurring opinion that they disagreed with some aspects of it, but not on the main issue in question here.
And that is that states can just randomly say, oh, we're going to kick you off the court.
And it had been argued by people like Sam Alito and others.
No, that this would create nothing but chaos around the country.
Well, it would have been chaos.
You'd have some Secretary of State or Assistant Secretary of State saying, we're not going to accept him as a candidate.
And him, maybe I'm not talking about me.
I'm saying somebody running for president.
And it could be in the case of me, I'm leading both the Republican Party, and I think she's probably gone now from what I hear.
But you're leading the Republican Party, and then you're leading the Democrat.
You're leading Biden by a lot, according to the New York Times and every other poll that's come out that we're leading.
And then you're going to take that person off the ballot.
It would seem to be quite an undemocratic thing to do, Sean.
And the opinion was very strong.
It was very forthright.
And I think it's been very well reviewed.
I mean, I've just seen some of the great legal scholars are agreeing with it.
I think a lot of people have said that, you know, that's really the option, that really they did the right thing.
And I think it unifies the country because otherwise you would have had all these people if they were your opponent, if they were, let's say in this case, if they were a Democrat state or a blue state, as they call it affectionately.
But if they were Democrats or something, they would just challenge you and you'd have a lot of states challenging.
You couldn't run a country that way.
So they took everything off the table, a very strong decision, actually.
Everything is off the table, and they just don't have the right to do that.
Chief Justice Roberts, you know, during oral arguments, questioned the Colorado attorney, Jason Murray, about the consequences of their decision.
Quote, what do you do with the consequences of your position?
It will be disqualification proceedings on the other side.
Some will succeed in very quick order.
I would expect that a goodly number of states will say, whoever the Democrat is, you're off the ballot.
It would then come down to a small number of states deciding the election.
That would have a very severe consequence.
Justice Alito pressed Murray and those arguments to grapple with what some people have seen as consequences of the argument that they were advancing, which there would be conflicts and decisions among the states, and the different states would disqualify different candidates.
And even pointing out that he'd get no help from them on how this would not become an unmanageable situation, which it would.
Now, last time I checked, with all the court cases that you have been dealing with, I don't believe at any point you've ever been charged with insurrection.
No, I haven't.
And in many ways, I guess this clears that up because if they thought I was or if they believed that I was an insurrectionist, they would have not given us a win.
So it probably clears that up.
I would say it does.
A lot of people say that clears that up by not charging or by not discussing that goes down.
But I haven't been charged with that.
And, you know, they charge you with whatever you can.
Look, this is why we talk about the immunity.
The immunity, a president needs immunity.
If a president doesn't have total immunity, he won't be able, he or she won't be able to function.
You have to make big decisions as president, like defeating ISIS, which I did, or taking out the number one, number two terrorist anywhere in the world, which I did.
All of these things have very big implications.
And if you weren't immune, if you weren't free to do what's proper for the country, it would be a terrible situation.
You have to be able, as a president, and that'll be up next, but you have to have presidential immunity.
If you don't have presidential immunity, you're not going to do anything because your opponent or your opposing party or who knows, maybe a friend of yours, but somebody would sue you and you'll leave office and you'll be sued like I have been for the last long period of time.
And that shouldn't happen to a president, not a president that's been popular, who's done a great job.
And it shouldn't happen.
It shouldn't happen to any president, whether they're popular or not, frankly.
You have to have presidential immunity.
And I think people are really seeing that now, much more so than they would have understood it three months ago.
You have to be free to make the correct decision.
That's going to help our country, maybe save our country.
Otherwise, you're going to be a ceremonial president.
You're going to sit there and say, this is great, but nobody's going to do anything because they don't want to be sued as they're leaving office and for the rest of their life and get indicted criminally by some prosecutor like Deranged Jack Smith or Fonnie, you know, good old Fonnie and Lover Wade, Lover Wade.
So, you know, you just, you don't want to be put in a position like that.
And I was put in that position because they've read it all wrong.
And what they're doing with me is ridiculous.
These prosecutions are ridiculous.
The good news is the American public sees it, and my poll numbers are higher than they've ever been.
So it's been rather amazing, actually.
If you actually look at your poll numbers, I would say that you should be a pretty happy candidate today.
Now, we are, as of today, 245 days out of this election.
If you look at the New York Times, Sienna poll, you're up by five.
There have been a number of polls that have come out showing you doing very well.
I saw Joe Biden's approval rating was at 38%, 86%, that was the Gallo poll, 86% in the ABC poll felt that he was not up to a second term based on his age and obviously his cognitive issues that have come up.
You even passed the 50% mark in a poll that came out this weekend.
But if you look at all these polls combined and then look at it specifically on the issues, I don't care if it's immigration or the economy or national security.
He's underwater on every major issue.
And Kamala Harris in some polls is even lower than him.
How do you read these polls with 245 days to go?
Well, he's the worst president in the history of our country.
There's never been anybody close.
I always say in speeches, I'll say often, that you could take the 10 worst presidents, put them together, and they haven't done the damage that Biden has done in the Biden administration.
And the happiest person is Jimmy Carter because his presidency looks brilliant by comparison.
I mean, what he's done with Afghanistan, what he's done, and I don't mean by leaving, we were leaving, but we were leaving with dignity and strength, taking the military out first and then having that catastrophe.
I think the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.
But what he's done with these migrants coming in and taking over our cities and taking over our country.
And now we have migrant crime.
It's the new category of crime.
And where did you ever see policemen having boxing matches in the middle of a street?
I mean, the whole thing is crazy.
And if that happened to them in their country, they'd be dead within two minutes.
They wouldn't stand for it.
But they come in and they come in from jails.
They come in from prisons.
They come in from mental institutions and insane asylums.
And they're terrorists.
And they're just, we have some very bad people pouring into our country.
Nobody's checking who they are.
Nobody knows anything about them.
They don't know who they are, where they come from.
And they're rough.
They're rough.
And many of them come out of jails and prisons.
You look at the world's jail population.
I'm not just talking about South America.
You look at the world's jail population.
It's way down now because they're dumping these people, rough people.
They're dumping them into the United States.
Same with mental institutions.
They have mental institutions that were packed, and now they're not packed any longer.
The reason is they're taking these mental patients and they're dumping them into our country, Sean.
This man is destroying our country.
And I think November 5th, this year, November 5th, I think it's going to go down as the most important day in the history of our country.
Well, you certainly will learn a lot more on Tuesday night because it's Super Tuesday.
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia.
A lot of primaries will know a lot more by, I guess, by Tuesday night, or certainly by early Wednesday morning.
You're expected to win, I think, in pretty much every one of those states.
And you had a couple of big wins this weekend, although you didn't win Washington, D.C., which I would not have expected, to be honest.
No, we didn't do anything there.
We didn't send anybody.
We didn't spend she spent everything there because she thought she could do it.
And it almost sends it would almost been bad.
You know, it's the swamp.
And it just shows that it's the swamp.
And still we got a lot of, you know, we got a lot of votes there.
But we didn't do anything about that one.
We wanted to it almost sets a good example because that's what we're talking about.
That's the swamp.
And she's from the swamp.
That's what she's all about.
And it's been amazing.
This weekend, you know, Missouri, we won 100%.
We won Idaho.
We won Michigan.
We had three great victories this weekend plus and won 100% of the votes in all of them.
And it's been amazing.
Now, the big one is tomorrow because we have many of the states, 16, 17 states come due.
Some of them are very big ones.
They're all sort of big, actually.
And that should just about wrap it up.
And we get on to Biden because we can't have Biden.
Look, Biden is a disaster for our country.
He's destroying our country.
We can't have him.
You cannot have him be president.
He is just so bad.
We're laughed at all over the world.
The guy can't find stairways off the stage when you have five stairways.
He can't put two sentences together.
And he's negotiating with Vladimir Putin over nuclear weapons.
The whole thing is crazy.
We have to get him out.
November 5th, this year, that's Election Day.
Let me ask you this.
For those people that say, I like Donald Trump's policies, I really do.
I wish you wouldn't fight so much.
I've asked you this question before.
I've known you long before you ever thought about running for president.
And I've known this other side of you.
And that is you'll always be the funniest guy in the room, generous to a fault, and extremely knowledgeable.
I think during I don't think Joe Biden could have done the town hall that we did together last week at the border.
I don't think he's capable of doing that.
He can probably get through a State of the Union address because they keep interrupting every few seconds for clapping.
But I don't think he's cognitively strong enough.
And you made a point during our interview that it's not necessarily age.
I would argue Bernie Sanders is as sharp as he's ever been, and I think he's older than Joe Biden.
And I do think it, but it's clear that he's had cognitive decline.
What do you make of the cognitive decline and about traditional democratic demographics that are leaving him?
How do you interpret that?
Well, number one, he's not too old because old is I know so many people that are making a fortune.
I know a man became a rich man from 80 to 90.
He was a failure almost his whole life.
And from 80 to 90, he became a very rich man.
And you have that, you know, so much.
You look at Bernie Marcus, who's 95 years old.
Do you ever speak to him?
I mean, he's...
I don't know him well.
He used to run Home Depot.
He's a great guy.
You're right.
Founder.
And you speak to him.
It's like speaking to him 25 years ago.
It's not an age thing.
There are other problems.
And he had operations in the 1990s on a certain part of his body that is tough stuff.
Look, we can't afford.
I would love everybody to take a cognitive test.
I took two of them.
I aged them both.
very public information I think everybody I it just when did you take the second one Because I noticed the media is saying, well, we haven't seen the second one.
When did you take that one?
I had that done by the doctors in upstate in New Jersey, in New Jersey.
And it was a similar test.
And it's a tough test.
I'll tell you what.
I guarantee you that he couldn't pass that test, couldn't pass that test.
It's a tough test.
Nikki should take the test.
I think that anybody running for office, I really believe that.
Now, they say it's a constitutional problem.
Well, what about the people that have to suffer with somebody that can't pass a test that you should be able to pass if you're president?
The greatest was the document hoax where they say that he can't go to court because he's not competent, but he is competent to be president.
That's one of the great classics of all time.
And he was so guilty on that.
But they gave him a pass.
But I don't want that kind of a pass.
That's not a good pass.
I hate to tell you, we are on a hard break, but Mr. President, thanks for checking in with the radio audience.
We appreciate your time, as always.
Former President Donald Trump will continue.
Bringing you the people who make the news.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, Sean Hannity here.
You know, there's so much happening in our country from border issues to local crime.
It seems to be everywhere.
Our friends at Burner offer a less lethal option so you can protect yourself and be ready for any threat you may have to face.
That's Burner, B-Y-R-N-A.
Now, Burner fires powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic ammo.
No background checks required, and they can ship it right to your door.
Bob Brayton was at home when an intruder physically forced his way inside.
