	Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
	It's 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
	Let's go to today's hearing, the House Oversight Hearing, along with the House Judiciary Committee hearing, as it relates to oversight of the U.S. Secret Service, their attempted assassination.
	The answers of the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly.
	By the way, Kim is a she, not a he.
	In case Joe Biden might be listening by some outside chance.
	She she remains frankly arrogantly steadfast in her commitment to stay on a job.
	This is a colossal failure.
	You know, when I heard her say outside the perimeter, I wanted to rip my rip my uh rip my hair out of my head.
	I was so furious.
	The perimeter is defined as any area where a primary, in this case, President Trump, the person that is to be protected, would be within any harm's range at all whatsoever.
	And 130 feet away is well within the perimeter.
	Not even a question.
	Here's Jim Jordan grilling about multiple times that Secret Service turned down requests from the Trump campaign for more assets.
	Uh this is an issue I told you would be coming out in the days and weeks ahead with a paper trail to back it up.
	Listen.
	Were you guessing or lying when you said you didn't turn down requests from President Trump's detail?
	Neither, sir.
	And I appreciate the question.
	But what's what were you doing?
	Because those statements don't jive.
	So what I can tell you is that for the events in Butler, there were no requests that were denied.
	As far as requests Well, maybe they got tired of asking.
	Maybe you turned them down so darn much it said not worth asking.
	How many times did you turn them down ahead of that?
	I think that it is important to distinguish between what some people may view as a denial of an asset or a request.
	Well, is Mr. Vugliami, your spokesperson?
	He said he acknowledged the Secret Service had turned down some requests.
	I'm asking how many.
	A denial of a request does not equal a vulnerability.
	Well, tell me what it is.
	There are a number of ways that threats and risks can be mitigated, mitigated with a number of different assets, whether that be through personnel, whether that be through technology or other resources.
	Well, tell the committee which it was.
	They asked for additional help in some form or another.
	You told them no.
	How many times did you tell them no and what'd you tell them no to?
	Again, I cannot speak to specific incidents, but I can tell you in general terms.
	Uh the Secret Service uh is judicious with their resources based on What is some requests mean?
	How many times?
	Some indicate requests is plural.
	So more than once they asked for additional help and you turned them down.
	What'd they ask for and how many times did you turn them down?
	Pretty basic questions.
	So again, without having all of the details in front of me, sir.
	What I can tell you is that there are times.
	You didn't get briefed on how many times you turned down the Trump detail when they asked for additional help.
	I'm I'm sorry.
	You didn't get briefed on that before you came to this hearing, knowing you were going to get asked that question.
	What I can tell you is that in generic terms, when people when when details make a request, there are times that there are alternate ways to cover off on that threat or that risk.
	That's not what he said.
	He said they were denied certain requests.
	Some requests.
	I This is your spokesperson, not me talking.
	This is the Secret Service talking.
	And it what a change from absolutely false, unequivocally false to, oh, by the way, there were some times where we didn't give them what they wanted.
	That's a huge change in five days.
	And the fact that you can't answer how many times you did that, that's pretty darn frustrating, not just for me, but for the country.
	It is a repulsive, unforgivable error of failure of of monumental proportions, historic proportions.
	One last cut.
	Jordan accusing Cheadle of not answering a single question.
	This too became disgustingly, you know, uh frustrating to anybody with ears to hear.
	Who's all doing the investigating at Secret Service?
	I know the inspector general, but is there also an internal investigation in addition to the inspector general?
	We are conducting a mission assurance investigation internally, yes.
	You know what it looks like, Director?
	It looks like you won't answer some pretty basic questions.
	It looks like you got a nine percent raise and you cut corners when it came to protecting one of the most important individuals, most well known individuals on the planet.
	A former president, likely the guy's going to be the next president.
	Looks like you guys were cutting corners.
	That's what it looks like to me.
	Is that true?
	I am here today because I want to answer questions, but I also wanted to be caught.
	I don't think you've answered one question from the chairman, the ranking member or me.
	Well, we got a lot of other people asking.
	We'll see if your if your record improves, but right now you haven't answered, I don't think any questions.
	I yield back.
	And the Democrats were equally tough anyway, here to weigh in on this uh rightly himself pissed off.
	Uh Congressman Mike Waltz of the Great State of Florida, Green Beret in his own right, part of the House Oversight Committee at this hearing today.
	And uh I I I I I can't even describe the level of anger I feel.
	Uh this this this shouldn't even be her decision.
	If we had a president that had any any knowledge of what day of the week it is, this woman would have been fired immediately.
	Sean, this is the most ridiculous, frustrating, maddening, and pathetic hearing I've been to uh in my time in Congress, uh, on the wake of uh you know, a millimeter away from President of the United States being assassinated on her watch, his head blown off on national television.
	Uh and and what's so rich is that she can't give us any answers, but you know what her spokesman and her boss Majorcus could do?
	They could go on national television and say, Oh, Congressman Waltz, who was talking directly to Secret Service agents was irresponsible and false.
	They had time to do that in the wake uh of this assassination attempt, and then had to walk it back, of course, uh days later and say, well, maybe sometimes, uh on a few instances, uh Trump was denied additional details.
	So they had time to do that, uh, and they had time to try to, you know, tell the world that that I was a liar and that the agents were a liar, but it turns out once again, my orchis was lying and misleading the American people.
	And now this woman had the gall to show up to a committee hearing.
	Uh I mean uh well we know in the days ahead and the weeks ahead, I uh I my sources are very confident that there's gonna be a paper trail that shows the number of times that in fact requests were made for additional Secret Service protection that were denied, and that's not even gonna be an issue in dispute.
	The issue also of the the Iranian threat coming from uh human intelligence source uh was very, very real about a very specific assassination attempt on President Trump, and she seemed, you know, basically nonplussed by all of it, didn't mean seem to mean a thing to her.
	And Sean, it's not only that, you know, another thing uh that came out, she still hasn't even gone to the site.
	You know, leaders lead, leaders get on the ground, they walk the ground, they figure out what happened, they talk about it.
	Oh, you mean like Josh Hawley who got kicked off the site, that guy?
	Yeah, that like like like that guy, Senator from Missouri can get over there, but the director of the seat service with the with the greatest failing since Reagan was shot, can't bother to go.
	You know where she was?
	She was over Congressman, they threw him off the site.
	They told him to leave.
	They told Josh Hawley to leave.
	I uh I mean, par for the course, right?
	Under under this director.
	But the point I'm trying to make is she was over at the RNC convention.
	She wasn't even originally planning to go there.
	You know where she was originally going to be?
	In Aspen, hobnobbing around with a bunch of liberal elites while you've got Joe Biden having an event, the pre President Trump having an event, Harris having an event, the NATO uh uh summit going on.
	I mean, she's whining that she didn't have enough resources, which, oh, by the way, I also pointed out that Biden requested a flat budget with inflation, even a decrease for the Secret Service.
	But she was originally scheduled to be hobnobbing around in Aspen.
	This woman should resign.
	She would have been fired.
	I would have fired her just for not having a single press conference since the shooting.
	Not her, not her boss Majorcus, not the FBI director, not one person has gone to the microphone and just taken questions and assured the American people we'll have a full investigation.
	Here's what we know as we know it.
	They should be going to the mics every single day, Sean.
	This is the transparency and this is why we don't trust our government.
	Well how quickly if there's a school shooting usually within hours we know anything and everything that can possibly be known about the individual responsible for the shooting and here we are, you know, nine days later and we know next to nothing about the shooter.
	I have no idea, no knowledge at all whatsoever whether or not there are other people that may have been involved.
	If there are, we need to find out and find out expeditiously and and we know a lot of other things involving this.
	You know, is uh I I'm I'm not the head of the Secret Service Congressman, I'm not but when they determine that the roof was sloped I used to do I used to do construction.
	I fell off a roof three stories, Congressman.
	I know a thing or two about a pitched roof.
	That is not a pitched roof.
	Uh it's about as flat a roof as you're ever going to walk on.
	So that was a lie number one.
	Number two, if okay i if in fact that sloped roofed argument you want to maintain it, that's fine.
	But then why didn't you have sniper eyes all over that roof uh to prevent anybody from getting up on it.
	Number three, if why did you put the agents inside the building instead of surrounding the perimeter so that nobody would get near that roof.
	Uh number four you could have used drone capability to monitor the roof uh considering that is well within the perimeter in terms of safety for a a primary which would be the president President Trump in this case there's been one colossal failure after another and the excuses are pathetic the idea that they didn't have anybody watching Cab with eyes on that roof the whole time this guy has an uh a a ladder and an AR fifteen this is an unforgivable failure.
	This is a failure of historic magnitude we nearly lost the leading presidential candidate and a former president because of her incompetence and their lack of being forthcoming and information is also unforgivable.
	Yeah you're absolutely right we asked every one of those questions and got zero zilch nothing uh for answers except that she prom you'll love this that she's going to have uh an investigation done two months from now in sixty days that's that's her timeline for giving any kind of answers to the American people how many more public officials are going to be shot at in sixty days?
	That's right.
	Well the Democrats Republicans on this committee can't agree on what color the sky is because we got AOC Rashida Talib and all the rest but we all agreed she should go.
	I mean that's r truly uh how pathetic and uh and and bad she was and I would just I would just add to it that uh not only did you have dead space on that slope roof that the counter snipers couldn't see their their shot was obscured you had nobody on it but it also came out that in the Pittsburgh field office which would send the supplemental what they call poststandards agents that just block off an area that twelve of them went to Dr. Jill's event which was indoors and
	only three went to President Trump's event.
	So I'm also calling this you know we've seen weaponization of our government throwing everything they've got at Trump to put him in jail, bankrupt them kick them off the ballot.
	This is weaponization by denial uh and uh she won't even give us a straight answer on who approves the security plan within her headquarters except to say that it wasn't her.
	So you're damn right.
	I'm pissed.
	The American people are pissed.
	You should be.
	I mean, this woman has got to go.
	But it's also folks beneath her as well that denied Trump the assets despite threats that are through the roof from foreign powers with a wide open border, his activity that's going on.
	And I've also confirmed that that they denied his permanent detail additional resources as well.
	And those poor heroes are absolutely exhausted because he's not your former president.
	Sean, you know, this he's not sitting in a barn like Bush painting or or like Jimmy Carter, you know, sitting in an old folks home.
	He needs additional resources and he needs them right now, not 60 days from now.
	Well, we really appreciate you being with us.
	I will tell you, if we don't get to the bottom of this, we risk other attempts on on on presidential candidates and high ranking elected officials.
	This is not conservative liberal.
	This is not conservative.
	not Republican Democrat this is not red versus blue this is about simple basic security for our country and every elected official especially those with the highest power need to be protected I've said that for years on end and and you know and by the way has a lot of explaining to do as it relates to that bail fund she supported during the rioting in the summer of twenty twenty.
	Congressman Mike Walsh, is there any other way to get rid of her except Joe firing her?
	Well, we're doing our appropriations right now.
	We're going to defund her salary.
	We're going to defund her travel.
	We're going to use the power of the purse in every which way we can to get rid of her.
	There are also other folks looking at impeachment.
	But to your point that this is not a partisan issue, we also know, and this is back channel, she won't admit it, that he was searching all kinds of leaders, the shooter Crook.
	He was also searching the DNC and the RNC.
	it's scary and again we're not getting full complete corroborated information there's no excuse on any of this anyway Mike Waltz have to run Congressman Florida keep up the good work my friend thank you uh eight hundred nine four one Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program I know a lot of you want to weigh in we have so much news uh to get to as well hey there I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

	Uh Kamala Harris out.
	Nancy Pelosi now has finally joined in and you're still awaiting some other prominent Democrats to see what they do, but it looks pretty uh it looks pretty dominant now that Kamala Harris is their choice.
	We'll be waiting and watching and seeing uh who she selects as her VP.
	The craziest part of this is it's only a hundred and five days until election day, fifty-six days until early voting begins, starting in Pennsylvania.
	Anyway, your calls are next as we continue.
	We are on the Sean Annity Show, a place where free speech and the first amendment are still alive and well.
	Get your dose of independence and liberty every weekday right here with Sean.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	I know a lot of you want to weigh in on all of these events unfolding at a record speed, just a hundred and five days until election day, fifty-six days until early voting begins, the first state Pennsylvania, then rolling out in other states around the country.
	Uh I've been warning everybody since the last election.
	Whatever reluctance, resistance you have to early voting and voting by mail, you've got to overcome it.
	You cannot start out election day down hundreds of thousands of votes.
	Is it the system I want?
	No.
	I've explained in in great specificity and detail the system that has the most integrity, so people have the most confidence in the results.
	However, it's the one we're stuck with, and until we win elections, you can't change it.
	Uh look, everyone knows I'm pro second amendment.
	Uh I have a pretty significant gun collection myself.
	I want to tell you about a company that I love.
	It's called Henry Repeating Arms.
	They make over 200 models of rifles, shotguns, revolvers.
	They make them all right here at America, or they don't make them at all.
	The quality is so superior.
	They're all backed by a lifetime guarantee.
	Old world craftsmanship, second to none, smooth action, top notch.
	Every Henry I've owned is accurate right out of the box.
	They're all reliable ever since.
	The best way to learn about Henry is to get their free catalog, free decals, and a list of dealers where you are.
	You simply go to their website.
	It's one word, Henry USA.com.
	Click on the free catalog button, it's in the upper right hand corner, and and it's a great company.
	They donate to vets and the military, law enforcement and first responders and children's hospitals and families uh with their sick kids through their guns for great causes program.
	Anyway, you're gonna love this company.
	Go to HenryUSA.com, get their free catalog, get free decals, a list of dealers where you are, do it today.
	Henry USA.com, a great American company.
	Um one thing I can tell you is and it's looking more and more as we look at the numbers of you know, Democrats now coming out fully supporting Kamala Harris.
	Uh it's looking more and more like it's gonna be her.
	Um I was very I've been very suspicious until, you know, just before the show today.
	You know, why why are people like Obama uh why isn't he endorsed her?
	Why didn't Hakeem Jeffries endorse endorse her?
	Why didn't uh Chucky Schumer endorse her?
	Well, since then Nancy Pelosi was on the list has endorsed her.
	But it does make me suspicious because really you're looking at the heart of the coup to begin with.
	Those those four people were gr were greatly responsible for doing everything in their power to push Joe out.
	And now you see a massive pushback by Democrats.
	They They don't want a con they don't want a contested primary or convention.
	They want this settled.
	Uh, they don't have many days to go before they actually have to vote on the nominee.
	Uh, there are a lot of laws that will, you know, come into play if they don't move quickly.
	Um, however, the Trump campaign, and I speak from direct sources within the campaign.
	They have pain, they've been more than ready for this.
	They've been expecting this.
	And it's they're not just prepared, they weren't just prepared for Kamala Harris, they were prepared for anybody.
	The Democrats threw out it at them.
	They had ads already built and ready to go.
	And, you know, within you know, an hour or two after the announcement, here's one Trump ad that came out.
	Not sure if it was by the campaign or or by uh political action committee, but uh everybody's known this is this likelihood was very real.
	And this is about Kamala covering up Joe Biden's cognitive decline, which should be a major issue.
	She's known, she's lied, she she's covered up, she's put the country in danger.
	Listen.
	The way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized, could not be more wrong on the facts.
	If there was a problem, I'm not lying.
	Do you think that you could go tell the American public?
	There's no need for that.
	I work at Joe Biden every day.
	Joe Biden is gonna be fine.
	We have a very bold and vibrant president in Joe Biden.
	He is um an extraordinary leader, and I wish that people could see what I see.
	She knew, she lied, she covered up.
	The same thing she was the border czar.
	Eleven million, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, unvetted, illegal immigrants from up to a hundred and eighty countries, and many would terror ties, many would terror tize making it into our country.
	Some we have no idea where they are.
	I'm sure plotting, planning, and scheming attacks on our country.
	Every rape, every murder committed by one of these Joe Biden, Kamala Harris illegal immigrants.
	The blood is on their hands.
	They are responsible.
	You have people from our top geopolitical foes, Iran at the top of the list, Syria, then Afghanistan, then Egypt, then Venezuela, Kazakhstan, tens and tens of thousands from China, Russia.
	I mean, what the hell is this?
	Because the whole time Kamala Harris, she knew the truth, she lied, she said the border secure.
	They said she said the borders closed.
	None of which was true.
	And we're now suffering the consequences financially.
	We're suffering the consequences in our school system.
	And parents and families around the country are suffering the consequences because of lost loved ones.
	She, along with Joe, Mayorcus, and the rest of them have blood on their hands.
	There's no other way to put it.
	But the Trump campaign was ready for this too.
	This is another ad they put out.
	Warning.
	The following may upset liberals who don't want voters to know the truth about Kamala Harris.
	If you ever wondered how Joe Biden could get the border so screwed up, remember, he had help.
	Here's Biden appointing Kamala Harris to be his border czar to deal with illegal immigration.
	And here are a record number of illegal immigrants.
	Ten million and counting, flooding over the border after Harris was put in charge of stopping illegal immigration.
	To be fair, Harris got off to a rough start by ignoring the border.
	Do you have any plans to visit the border?
	I I'm here in Guatemala today.
	I at some point, you know, we are going to the border.
	We've been to the border.
	So this whole this whole this whole thing about the border.
	We've been to the border.
	We've been to the border.
	You haven't been to the border.
	I and I haven't been to Europe.
	And I mean, I don't I don't understand the point that you're making.
	Harris was liberal on illegal immigration before she ever reached the White House.
	As a prosecutor in San Francisco, Harris allowed illegal immigrant drug dealers to enter job training and have their criminal records wiped clean.
	One of the illegal immigrants Harris released went on to steal an SUV and ran down a young woman, seriously injuring her.
	And of course, Harris backs sanctuary city laws that harbor illegal immigrants, even criminals.
	She even backs taxpayer-funded health care for illegals.
	Record illegal immigration, special treatment for illegals, taxpayer paid benefits.
	And Harris still doesn't get it.
	I've been working on this issue for a very long time.
	That's the truth about Kamala Harris.
	She's dangerously liberal on illegal immigration.
	LAUGHTER The thing that every American needs to know is she has been a partner in all of the failure.
	She has been a part of the lying, the cover-up that has existed, the worst in our history.
	As it relates to Joe's cognitive decline.
	She has been the worst.
	She's a border czar.
	I mean, you need to actually go to the border and know what the what's going on down there.
	And she just lied and went along with the party line.
	The giggling is out of control.
	It is beyond inappropriate at times.
	And she is definitely not up to the job as far as I'm concerned to be president.
	Joe has an excuse.
	I don't know what her excuse is.
	The passage of time and communities are for the community.
	The largest investment ever to take on the climate crisis.
	Roughly a trillion dollars with a T. I had to.
	You think you just fell out of a coconut tree.
	You exist in the context.
	Of all in which you live and what came before you.
	One of the things I love are Venn diagrams.
	I love Venn diagrams.
	You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.
	The significance of the passage of time, right?
	The significance of the passage of time.
	So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
	More parents are seeing the value of educators when they had to bring their kids.
	And say we're not paying them nearly enough.
	It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.
	Okay.
	Every day it is time for us to agree.
	We all believe that when we talk about the children of the community, they are children of the community.
	So Ukraine is a country in Europe.
	It exists next to another country called Russia.
	Russia is a bigger country.
	Russia is a powerful country.
	Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
	So basically, that's wrong.
	All right, quick break as we continue.
	More of your calls coming up.
	Look, since October the 7th, we've seen nothing but death destruction in Israel.
	More than 40 years, however, a great group is out there.
	We are proudly partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
	They've been on the ground all these years, within hours of the worst terror attack in Israel's history.
	They were there.
	And they've been there they've been on the ground every day since.
	And they're feeding the hungry, protecting the vulnerable, providing medical assistance.
	Even further, they're helping people that have been displaced and the elderly.
	These attacks continue with Hezola out of the north and Lebanon out of Gaza in the South.
	But there are resilient survivors and now sharing their stories.
	And the IFCJ is calling this series that they put together, The Faces of Iron.
	And these are survivors like Danny.
	What a sad story.
	His family was burned alive on October the 7th by radical Islamic Hamas terrorist.
	And Danny, a commander of the volunteer army and rescue in his community, he couldn't do anything.
	As his own daughter's house was burned to the ground, killing her and her husband.
	Thanks to the support of all of you in this audience, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are helping these survivors remain steadfast and strong and helping those in need.
	And if you'd like to hear more stories like this one and show your support for this great organization, please go to their website as one word support IFCJ.org.

	Final hour roundup is next.
	You do not want to miss it.
	And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, let's get to our busy phones.
	800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Tom in Ohio, Tom, hi.
	How are you?
	Glad you called, sir.
	Hey, Sean, I'm good.
	Listen, I have a question about the ballot.
	So the DNC doesn't start for four weeks from today.
	And yet early voting starts in 56 days.
	So that means there'll be less than three weeks.
	And what I think is could happen is there's going to be a certain number of ballots that have Joe Biden's name on them.
	What's going to happen to those ballots that people submit?
	You raise a good question, and I brought this up earlier, and I brought this up last night.
	And there are a lot of issues as it relates to ballots and laws in different states that I have no doubt is going to be challenged.
	Now, whether or not uh whether or not Joe's name will end up remaining on the ballot in some states, I don't know.
	I think they might have got it done just in time, that probably not, if I had to guess, I don't know for sure.
	Um, but it's you know, you're dealing with some very important legal issues, and and these legal issues matter.
	Now you have a court system that is corrupt.
	Um the main thing, look, uh a ballot can't be changed unless a candidate dies, for example, in Wisconsin.
	It's currently unclear if that regulation applies before the official domination.
	In Nevada, a similar regulation applies.
	Uh, but that state after next Friday, no change may be made on the ballot for the general election for any reason.
	Georgia has regulations that require a convention for any ballot change.
	So there are going to be multiple challenges, legal challenges across the country.
	There is a chance that Biden's name will remain uh on the ballot in certain states.
	Um Democrats don't want to be in that position.
	I think that's why they're so quickly coalescing around Kamala, because they don't have time to do anything else.
	Well, I think the only case that we could accept would be if they take those votes for Biden and they put them in a category of write-in.
	But I think knowing the Democrats, what they might try to do is say, well, a vote for Biden is ipso facto, a vote for the actual nominee.
	So we're gonna add that into Kamala's total.
	And what if that's only, say, in a state like Pennsylvania, 10,000 votes?
	Wow.
	Well, I mean, you're you're raising good questions.
	Do I think it's possible?
	I really I really think the Republicans, one thing they have going for them this time is they're way more prepared than they were in 2020.
	They have lawyers ready, they have partisan observers set up, um, they're more involved in getting out the vote early, voting by mail efforts.
	And as long as people cooperate, I think we're in a much better position.
	And Joe's not going to be able to hide in his basement, and nor will Kamala Harris be able to hide in her basement.
	Um, but we got a long way to go.
	And I'm look, I'm just gonna reiterate something I said in the last hour, because this I this bears repeating, and I'll say it often, is there might be some good to come out of all of this.
	And that is if people if you see what's going on and you see the big lie and the big cu cognitive decline cover-up, and you see these games that these democrats play, because this is all about power for them, and it makes you in any way more committed to do your part.
	Whatever that part is, if it's just voting, then that will be a good outcome on this.
	And that is that people won't take this election for granted.
	Maybe if Joe stayed in, people would take it for granted.
	And I think people need you need to go in with the mentality that your vote will decide the election.
	And I use the analogy: there's two minutes left in the game.
	You have no timeouts.
	You're on your own 20.
	You got to march down the field 80 yards.
	You got to cross the plane, you're down six, and you got to kick the extra point if you want to win.
	And that's the mindset every conservative, every Republican, everyone that cares about our great democratic republic and wanting to preserve it for future generations needs to have.
	That'll this election is an inflection point for the country.
	Don't take it for granted.
	Use this as a means of doubling down in your commitment to do your part.
	And if your part is only voting, if your part is voting and volunteering, if your part is voting, volunteering, and donating, whatever it is, take it seriously.
