I think Scott Chan hour two, Sean Hannity Show, Toll Free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh it's always a pleasure to have back here.
Uh South Dakota Governor Christy Nome is with us.
Uh she has a new book that is out.
It's on Amazon.com.
We put it up on Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere.
Uh no going back, the truth on what's wrong with politics and and how we move America forward.
Uh congratulations, Governor.
Although, you know, I I've been watching the never-ending attacks against you.
I'm you you may be regretting writing the book at this point.
I don't know.
No, no, the book is fantastic, and I hope people go out and buy it.
It really is a book that I think the American citizen will enjoy.
I'm I'm kind of used to the attack, Sean.
If you remember, I went through hell in twenty twenty in COVID when I kept my state open and refused to mandate vaccines and masks.
I didn't have a single friend Republican or Democrat out there defending me for months on end.
And you know, since then there's just been I I think we were pretty fair to you on this program to be very blunt.
You were, you were, but it was but it was a pretty brutal time, and we've been through these before, and that's you know, this is a book that's filled with um stories and painful decisions and challenges uh that we've been through, but it also is a is it it's a how-to for the average American citizen on what they can do to get involved in their government in politics and and you know, step by step what they can do to make their voices heard.
I think a lot of people in this country right now are discouraged.
They think their votes don't count.
Um they do.
They need to show up and vote.
It also tells them what works, you know, what what kind of corruption there is in the money and and consultants in politics, but what they can do as average citizen to really move the needle on making sure that America stays as special as it's always been.
We discussed a little bit about this, but I want to do it on radio today because uh uh and just give you an opportunity to explain in your own words.
Um I find this controversy over your admission that you had to shoot a dog that was out killing chickens and and became a terror and biting people, etc.
And uh I thought a lot about Joe Biden's German Shepherd, and you know, first we heard that Joe Biden's German Shepherd had bitten a secret service agent.
I think the final number that I heard was twenty-four.
The dog's name is Commander.
Um usually my understanding has always been if you have a German Shepherd biting twenty-four people, and how that was allowed to occur to me is is unbelievable.
Um after the first fight or the second, maybe Max, something should have happened.
They either had to keep that dog locked up away from any strangers or any people at all.
Um, or usually a practice would be, unfortunately, sadly, because I love dogs, obviously you love them.
Uh, is that the dog would have to be put down.
And you describe a a dog that you had to put down and that you had shot the dog.
And they and the re there's been no reaction of Joe Biden's dog biting twenty-four Secret Service agents.
And all people want to talk about is you admitting this in in your book.
And I'm like, okay, is that a little bit of a double standard?
No, that's a huge double standard.
Yeah.
No, it definitely is.
I mean, how many people does Commander have to attack and hurt and harm and injure before some responsibility is taken and something is done.
And those Secret Service agents, I'm sure, wonder who's going to be next.
And for me, this is a 20-year-old story, and it was a it was a hard, hard decision because I was choosing between um it was an adult working dog that was extremely dangerous.
Uh it was killing livestock, it was attacking people, and I had to choose between the safety of my children.
I had little kiddos there at the time, and every day at our business, our hunting lodge, we had people in and out, and my brothers and sisters all we had a dozen little kids running around every day, and and this was a dangerous situation, very tough situation.
So I hope that people, you know, understand that that that's that's why it's in the book.
Um, you know, my political opponents have in South Dakota have known this story for years and tried to use it against me, and I'm not a what I want them to learn and what I say at the end of that story is that I want them to know that I don't run from the truth and I don't try to hide from making tough decisions.
I I take on my own personal responsibilities.
And and that's what I think is good that's what I hear you saying there is you didn't take any joy in having to do this, but it ha something had to be done.
Am I hearing you right?
It was my responsibility to deal with, and I didn't ask anybody else to do my job, even though it was Joe Biden's responsibility after one or two Secret Service agents were bitten, uh, to make sure it never happened again.
And that didn't happen.
And you know, all these people, you know, on their high horse with their sanctimony out there, you know, attacking you and lecturing you.
Um I why won't they ask the president that question?
How did how did you allow 24 Secret Service agents to be bitten before, oh, maybe I maybe I have to move them to another place.
Yeah.
Um let me ask you, and and then the issue came up in the book about Kim Jong-un and whether you met him or you didn't met meet with him.
And and then I watched, I was trying to watch an interview, and this is why nobody watches these Sunday programs because they're unwatchable.
And it just was I don't think you were able to get an answer out for more than a little over twenty seconds before you were interrupted again and again and again on the issue of Kim Jong-un, and I want you to explain it.
Yeah, no, that was Margaret, and she she interrupted me 36 times during that interview, over and over and over again, and I reminded her that.
Well, how can anybody watch that?
I'm sorry, go ahead.
I'm I'm I'm doing what she did.
Go ahead.
Finish your answer.
Yeah, it's it's it's I it was well for her it was such a double standard too, because she doesn't treat anybody else that way.
She does the last dozen interviews I'd watched that she'd done, she let everybody speak and answer the questions, and she didn't let me she didn't give me that privilege, and I asked her why she was treating me differently.
Um but the fact of the matter is is that I have traveled the world.
I've worked on policy for over thirty years.
I've met with many world leaders, some were in the book, some are not in the book.
Um, and when this was brought to my attention, um we removed the content of the names.
So that's uh that's I'm just not gonna speak about my meetings with world leaders, and I'm not gonna hear.
And um, you know, we've we've talked addressed the content of it.
So that's what I wanted to say to her, but she was not letting me talk and kept asking me over and over again.
So let me let me ask you this.
You know, one thing I've been very blessed in my life.
I grew up in Long Island, New York, but one of the experiences is I traveled the country and lived five years in Rhode Island after being raised in Long Island, five years in California, two years in Alabama, four years in Georgia, and then when Fox went on the air in nineteen ninety-six, boom, I was home, and I uh at least thought it was home.
It's not my home anymore.
But but it I learned a lot.
I learned how that different parts of the country just have they're just different.
For example, I had never heard of a switch.
I know it's a a little funny to some people.
You know, my father, you know, if I did something wrong, he ripped out the belt, and I I would tell you and argue that I didn't wasn't traumatized by it, and I deserved every single time that I got it.
And in the South, they use a switch.
One quick example.
And and the benefit of learning that there are different ways of looking at things and how you how you do things in life based on where you grow up in the country has been a real educational experience for me.
And hence that brings me to South Dakota.
I see South Dakota and the people there.
They're rugged individualists, they're hard working.
Uh they're salt of the earth, they're God family country kind of people, my kind of people, and I certainly share more South Dakota values than I do New York values, which I share none.
That's why I left.
Um and I I think a lot of people need that perspective sometimes and they don't have it.
Well, and I've had people reach out to me from all across the country.
I think it's important that people know that it especially in this situation that every single state has a law in place that allows for an animal that's dangerous like this to be handled this way.
And the American Veterinary Association says this is a humane way to take responsibility for a dangerous animal.
So I you know, I I think that yes, this is a lot of political attacks, it's a lot of people being critical.
Um, but you know, this whole book is filled with um, you know, conversations and stories of what my life has been like growing up, my experiences.
But I hope what people get out of the book is that we live in a country right now that is addicted to being offended.
We just love to be offended by each other, and we quit talking to each other and instead everybody's yelling.
And and my background, I've learned that the more diverse we ha you know, perspective, background, experiences, culture that you have sitting at a table, the better policy you're gonna have, the better debate and discussion you're gonna have.
You're gonna end up having a better result for every family that lives in this country.
And we need to learn to have civil discourse again and start talking to people rather than just blowing them up like we see so many times in our political discussions today.
All right, quick break more with Governor Christy Noam, South Dakota.
Her new book is out, No Going Back to Truth of What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores all across the country.

We continue with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is with us.
New book is out.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores around the country.
It's called No Going Back, The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.
Well it's interesting because the title, No Going Back, I mean, you're really taking on the establishment wing of the Republican Party, and and you're talking about establishment Republicans or the Mitt Romneys of the world.
Um and and that way is is not the way to move forward.
Now there are certain conservative principles that I would argue are timeless.
Uh taxes uh being cut, regulations being cut, uh America First to me is got to always be our policy, peace through strength.
That will always be a principle, a timeless principle.
Uh I d I see now that America's abandoned a lot of those policies and principles, and frankly, the radicals have taken over the government.
Uh nobody's benefiting from it.
Look at the border, look at the economy, look at the state of affairs in the world.
Uh it's uh I can't think of anything that's going right under Joe Biden and the radical Democrats that are in power right now.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And I what I what hap happened is the last couple of years I've heard so many people say they wished they could go back to those days of you know the Romneys, the Bushes, or whatever, before Don before Donald Trump came onto the scene, before Donald Trump came onto the political scene, and they say, Yeah, I wish we could go back to that.
And and really this book is a message that we're not going back.
There's no going back.
Donald Trump broke politics.
And I think that's a good thing.
I think we have now the ability for elected officials to be honest, to say what they think, to embrace who they are.
You know, Donald Trump doesn't try to be pretend to be anything that he's not.
He's just himself, and it resonates with the American people.
They appreciate his honesty and his candor and his genuine approach to communication.
And that should be a lesson to every single person that runs for office is that you don't have to be perfect.
You can have flaws and make mistakes, but but the American people want to know that you care and that you're gonna fight for them, and that you should be who you are rather than be pretending to be something else.
They that you know politicians used to think the American people wanted to see in their elected officials.
You know, I used to care what people would write or say about me.
I don't I can tell you in just a hundred percent being totally honest.
I don't care at all anymore.
You know what?
I care about my audience, I care about my family, I care about being the person that God wants me to be.
And short of that, I don't really give a flying rip about what everybody else is is thinking about me, or if I show up at a restaurant and I can see disgust on somebody's face that I dare to uh breathe the same air that that they're breathing.
Uh I had Governor DeSantis on.
Uh, you know I moved to Florida, and uh, you know, the the issue of what's happening with schools is not happening in this state because he's not gonna tolerate it.
You're not gonna tolerate it either.
That's the kind of person that I like in office, people that'll take a tough stand and take all the heat that goes along with it, and frankly, not bat an eyelash.
Yeah, when these college protests started to pop up a week or so ago, a couple weeks ago, I had a phone call with my border regents and my university presidents, and I said, I just want you to understand that that's not gonna happen in South Dakota.
We are not putting up with that.
Well, what was their reaction?
They were I said, run me through your emergency operations plan.
I want to hear what you're going to do if there is a planned protest, and I want you to know that I'm going to be available, that my law enforcement will be there.
If we need emergency operations center, we will do that.
The National Guard will be ready and activated, and that as soon as somebody throws one thing or says one thing that is violent and is not a peace, peaceful protest, we and and says something that is hateful, like we see going on that's causing a lot of these universities to cancel their graduations.
I said, it's just not going to happen in South Dakota.
So I appreciated that candid conversation with those university presidents, and they they I think they appreciated it too, to know that this this would be a partnership and that we weren't gonna let it happen in South Dakota.
You know, I'm proud of my daughter.
She graduated from college uh recently.
I'm not gonna give the college away.
I just don't talk about my family that much.
But she called me days before the graduation and said, you know, Dad, they don't they're not gonna let us walk, they're not gonna let us do this.
Why why am I bothering?
And I said, I said, I'll support whatever decision you want.
And she decided not to go.
And uh and she's a she was a great student, and she's a great kid, and I was very proud of her making that decision on her own.
And I said, Whatever you want, I'll support.
And I thought it was an adult decision, and it was it ended up being more right than we ever knew.
That's and I and I think that's what individualism is all about.
Uh anyway, I did enjoy the book.
It's called No Going Back, The Truth of What's Wrong with Politics, How We Move America Forward on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores around the country, and probably the mob in the media think that they were hurting you.
Uh I would imagine your poll numbers in South Dakota will go up, and that the people of South Dakota are not going to be swayed by a bunch of New York and DC liberal uh media mob uh participants about what they say about you.
That's my guess.
But we appreciate your time, Governor, as always.
Yeah, I appreciate it too, Sean.
Thanks so much.
And uh you have a wonderful day.
Thanks for having me on, and I do hope people go out and buy their copy of the book and read it for themselves and make their own judgments.
I'd appreciate that.
No going to appreciate it.
Governor Christine 800, 941 Sean is our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, we'll hit the phones.
We have a lot more news we still have to get to.
Twenty five to the top of the hour.
Toll free our numbers eight hundred, nine four one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, ever since October the seventh, uh Israel has been living, and the Israelis have been living under harsh conditions and the harsh reality of terror every single day.
Many of our friends in Israel are displaced.
The need for people on the ground for food and medicine and supplies is beyond anything I can even explain to you.
Our partners and friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're on the ground.
They have been from day one.
They're addressing all of these urgent needs.
And there are many.
They can't keep up.
They're also packing emergency bomb shelter kits that can be delivered immediately because of a missiles fired.
They have about 13 seconds to get to safety, so they're trying to put them in strategic places all around the country.
Anyway, your life-saving donation is helping assemble and place these kits with enough food and life-saving emergency supplies for the 20 people that can fit in every bomb shelter, uh mobile bomb shelter that they're putting around the country.
The cost to put together and distribute these kits is 290 bucks each.
Uh, thanks to a matching challenge gift, by the way, from a very generous IC IFCJ supporter.
Uh your gift will double in its impact and provide twice the support if you can do it today.
Is a toll-free number they now have.
It's 888-488 IFCJ.
888-388-488 IFCJ, or just give online at support IFCJ.org that support IFCJ.org, and thank you for your generosity.
Um, I've been making this case for a long time.
Any Democratic moderate that ever existed, that party is gone.
You know, when the Democratic Party uh basically tried to push out the former vice presidential candidate, Joe Lieberman out of Connecticut.
He had to run as an independent, and he did win a seat back.
Um, to me, that was like the canary in the coal mine.
I I knew Joe Lieberman.
He recently passed away, loved him, loved his wife, Adasa, the wonderful family, great people.
We had a fun relationship.
Uh we agreed on a lot of issues involving national security.
We disagreed on a lot of social issues, but he's somebody you can have a conversation with about anything and ask him any question, and you can disagree and without it being just vicious and nasty like pretty much everything else is today.
And but it's become the party of the squad.
If you think that Manchin was a more moderate Democrat, he's leaving.
If you think that Kristen Cinema was a more moderate Democrat, she's leaving.
You know, the radicals now run Washington.
They run and control Joe Biden.
You know, and as evidenced by listen, listen to Michael Moore.
You know, I guess they've dragged him out of mothballs, thinking that somebody actually cares what he thinks, because I don't think many people do.
You know, the you know, supporting campus protesters taking over buildings.
Oh, that's not violence, really?
It's not.
Listen.
You do have the right to take over the administration building.
I'll tell you, just speaking from Flint, we would have no UAW, no auto workers union, if back in the 30s, the auto workers, including my uncle, had not taken over the factories.
They broke windows, they locked all the doors, they kept all the police and the National Guard out for 44 straight days in the middle of winter, until they won the right to be recognized by General Motors and to be paid a living wage.
That only happened because they took over the factories.
Yes, you have to take over buildings.
That is not violence.
Oh, because on January 6th, when people went into the Capitol, that was taking over a building.
Um, according to Democrats, that's not violence.
Michael Moore says it.
Pretty unbelievable.
But these are the times that we live in and the conditions, the double standard just you know, never stops.
Uh, then you I got a kick out of this.
Maxim Waters was on MSDNC claiming that Trump has connected organization.
Trump connected organizations have training camps, training camps up in the hills, preparing to attack if he loses.
Listen.
I want to know about all of those right wing uh organizations that he's connected with, who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting uh, you know, what communities they're going to attack.
Okay, coming from the same person, uh, you know, get in their faces and follow them into the grocery store and blah blah blah, on top of all the other crazy stuff she said over the years.
Listen to this.
You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth.
Don't see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant in a department score and a gasoline station.
You get out and you stand a crowd and you get on them.
And you tell them that the people are gonna turn on them, they're gonna protest, they're gonna uh absolutely harass them until they decide that they're gonna tell the president, no, I can't hang with you.
I did not threaten his constituents and supports.
Uh I do that all the time, but I didn't do it that time.
This is a bunch of scumbags.
That's what they are.
And with this kind of inspiration, I will go and take Trump out tonight.
He just can't make this stuff up.
Wow.
What a double standard.
Just like, okay, they want to focus on January 6th.
Why did they ignore the 574 riots in the summer of 2020?
Why why is Joe so quiet as it relates to those people taking over buildings on college campuses today?
There's no sense of urgency because he can't win for losing because he knows he's losing everybody's support, and he doesn't know whether to you know go left or right or what position to take.
How about he just do the morally right thing and support Israel's right to win their war against terrorists that attack them?
Nobody bothered us and told us how to fight our war against radical terrorists after 9-11.
Pretty unreal.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Tim in Louisiana.
Tim, hi, sir, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
How's it going?
Good.
What's going on?
Hey, so uh I just wanted to mention I serve in the military, I've served for nine years.
Um I remember distinctly what I signed up for.
Um, the reasons why I signed up for have a military family, so I'm keeping the tradition.
Um I remember watching 9-11 on the TV when I was younger.
Um, and I I speak for some of some people in the military that I know personally, not for the military itself, but uh we're we're a little dis disheartened with the protest.
Um we fight for things like free speech, the right to bear arms, and for peace peaceful protest, and this is not what we're seeing.
Um I know several people I've talked to who've even mentioned, hey, um I don't know if I want to continue my service.
I I'm just confused on what I'm fighting for, and I'm confused on the state of the country.
Uh listen, you and a bunch of other people.
I mean, there's a lot of people that really, you know, are concerned about the state of the country.
But I do have good news, and I've been saying all day, you know, I want to deputize all of you.
You know, if you care about the future of the country, if you're alarmed by by Joe Biden's weakness on the world stage, uh abdicating his role as a as the leader of the free world, if you're but I will tell you in 182 days, you know, and by the way, it's less than that, because you got to factor in early voting.
And we put all this on Hannity.com.
What is the deadline to register to vote?
Click on your state, Hannity.com.
It's an interactive map.
Uh, when does when does registration end?
Uh, what do you need in terms of ID for your particular state?
Are you registered?
Uh when when does early voting start?
Can you vote by mail?
How do you get your ballot?
What day, you know, all of this information we're putting up for every state on Hannity.com.
It's an informational tool, so you will be a well-informed voter.
Please take advantage of it.
We've spent a lot of time putting that together.
Uh anyway, I appreciate the call.
Tim, uh, thank you.
Let's go to Marty in Kansas.
Mari, Marty, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good, sir.
How are you?
Uh, it's a pleasure to talk to you.
I've been I listen to you all the time.
I love your show.
Um I'm telling you about uh bill that uh Congress passed last week, uh 69 HR 6090.
Uh anti-Semitism bill.
Um I I know what's going on at these college campuses and all the protesting, that's all wrong and I I'm I'm a hundred percent behind Israel.
I'm a born-again Christian and I believe that's the Holy Lamb and and the Bible is very clear about Israel and and I stand a hundred percent with Israel.
But my concern is uh the wrong people could take this and say that the Bible is hate speech.
They because whenever Jesus was crucified, you know, uh some of the Jews did holler, you know, crucify Jesus and release Barabbas.
And that could be considered hate speech.
If if churches are preaching against uh homosexuality, that could be considered hate speech, and they could close churches down and arrest preachers and actually tried to ban the Bible because they could say it's hate speech.
And that that's my concern, and uh so but anyway, I don't know how you feel about that, but besides look, I I mean, people can you know I I find this amazing.
Like you have these uh woke uh triggered, you know, little princes and princesses all over these college campuses, you know, they get triggered by the wrong pronoun and uh uh well, we don't really we're not in any condition to take our final exams, uh, Columbia law students.
Uh we really need to be we need really need to just all be given passing grades.
This has been too traumatic for us.
I'm like, okay.
Really am I supposed to buy that?
We really supposed to believe that for a second.
But that's what they would have you believe.
It's insane.
Anyway, I'll give you the last word.
Well, I just uh I just support the Bible a hundred percent and and I believe we're living in the last days, and I believe they're going to come after our Bibles.
And please pray for Kansas and Oklahoma because we're in for some bad storms, tornadoes and hell uh hell as big as softballs are coming our way, is what they're predicting.
So please keep Candace and Oklahoma in your prayers.
Uh a hundred percent.
I totally completely agree with you, and um, you know, I'll keep you in your prayers on I don't want anyone hurt.
Please take into consideration what the authorities are telling you and the experts are telling you, and be prepared.
That's the best way.
You know, I know a lot of people in a lot of these states have you know, tornado shelters.
I mean, Tornado Alley is real.
Um I've never seen a tornado.
I did have one earthquake I lived through, but that's about it, and it wasn't that bad.
Kind of scary times that m Mother Nature can put reality right in front of your face pretty quick, I'll tell you that.
Yes, it is.
All right, thank you, my friend.
Appreciate it.
Quick break, right back.
More of your calls coming up, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Back to our busy phones.
Hello to Sean in Florida, the free state of Florida.
What's up, my friend?
How are you?
Hey, uh Sean, I sure appreciate your time and the work that you do.
This is an extraordinary honor for me to speak to you today.
I appreciate it.
Well, the honor is all mine.
Glad you called, glad you're out there, my friend.
Yes, sir.
Um I I don't want to take a lot of time.
I I was listening to the show on Friday with a guest host, and um was I was a little distracted, but I heard kind of a a phrase that um that caught my attention uh a little bit, and and he said something to the effect of not a quote, but he said something to the effect of we need to uh uh pass better oversight for aid that's going to Ukraine because basically it's a free-for-all and there is no oversight for aid going to Ukraine.
And it it triggered a thought in my mind.
I I'm a uh US Navy veteran, uh served on the last diesel electric submarine in the US fleet uh fighting against the uh Soviet Union in Southeast Asia, uh was forward deployed for five years and then got out of the military and uh I'm an ordained minister now, been in ministry for over thirty years.
Uh but my family and I started working uh in Ukraine uh over 23 years ago.
So we've we've been serving there, helping children at risk and traumatized kids there for a little over twenty-three years.
And so when somebody says something like that, it triggered the thought, why historically have we always supported those nations that broke away from the decrepit Soviet Union and supported Israel, of course.
Um and then suddenly for some reason those same people that supported Ukraine, Budapest memorandum, their independence, their sovereign territory, their sovereignty, their integrity, uh territorial integrity, um all of those were positive towards the Everything you're saying is predicated on one little part that's not true.
That America did offer them a ton of help.
You know, over a hundred billion dollars.
And in this lat latest ad uh aid package, you know, the bulk of monies were going to Ukraine.
Now, I think Putin is a thug and a murderer, murderer, and a dictator.
However, I've been extraordinarily disappointed with Europe as per usual, they want to put the financial burden on the American people.
And I think that, you know, aid money is something we need to reconfigure.
We can't afford aid money in the hundreds of billions of dollars like this and survive economically.
Uh, but I'm okay with the idea of lending countries money when they find themselves in a time of war.
But first, Europe, it's their continent.
They need to step up and defend their continent.
Secondly, we can't have a president dictating the President Zelisk Zelensky how to fight a war.
Like when he he vetoed Poland giving, you know, twenty-eight fighter jets to to Ukraine.
Uh I I mean, if you're not going to fight to win the war, why are we spending one penny?
And lastly, I will say that I I I applaud the people of Ukraine.
They have fought valiantly, and I think they have far surpassed people's expectations.
I feel for them.
I admire their courage and their the steadfastness.
Uh it's a it's a very difficult uphill battle.
I think the world's been shocked by how weak Vladimir Putin has shown himself to be in some ways.
But I will tell you, this this needs to be the continent of Europe doing the majority of help and support.
We've only given a fraction of the money we've given Ukraine to Israel.
And again, I would do it in the form of a loan, not in the form of monies that are not going to be repaid.
Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
And and thank you for the good work that you do.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
