I think one of the biggest failures of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the fact that they have completely and totally and utterly surrendered in the war on terrorism.
I have been playing Kamala Harris in her own words, saying that we need to have the courage to stop using the term radical Islamic terrorism.
We need to have the courage to stop using the term illegal alien.
She has shown, along with Joe Biden, nothing but weakness and appeasement to some of the most hostile regimes on the face of the earth, and that includes Iran.
Why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did not enforce Trump-era sanctions that prevented Iran from selling oil on world markets is beyond any comprehension I have.
They have allowed Iran to take in billions and tens of billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in oil sales by turning a blind eye to those sales.
They have offered waivers so that countries like Iraq can pay the Iranian mullahs $10 million plus dollars at a clip.
They even offered a $6 billion ransom payment to the Iranian mullahs themselves until it became public news.
Why they won't allow Israel and have been pushing and forcing Israel to retreat in their war on terror when they lost the equivalent of what would have been 40,000 dead Americans in a day is beyond any comprehension I have.
There's good, there's evil, and this is a simple battle of good versus evil.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows up, gives a Churchillian speech before a joint session of Congress, and Kamala Harris makes a statement.
She won't show up.
She's not there.
She's the leader of the squad.
And we know that the squad leaders have a pro-Hamas wing to it.
It is sick.
It is ugly.
It is distorted.
How do you lack such moral clarity?
I don't know.
If we're not going to use the term radical Islamic terrorism anymore, well, who then attacked us on 9-1101?
Who attacked Israel on October the 7th?
These are not complicated questions because there are radical Islamic terrorism, the terrorists that believe that you must convert to their religion or you will be killed.
You will die.
There's really only one answer, and that is to defeat them.
That is called, in the words of Winston Churchill, what is our aim?
All I have to offer is blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
What is our aim?
I can mention in one word, victory.
And that should have been the message of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
It's not been.
You know, if you think back to when Soleimani, this is a guy that killed Americans in Iraq.
This was the number one terrorist coming out of Iran.
He was the architect.
He was the leader of this terrorist movement.
And Donald Trump took him out on a tarmac, thankfully.
And then Vice President Harris tweeted out January 3rd, 2020.
It said Soleimani was an enemy of the U.S., but President Trump's actions put more American lives at risk and could lead to a new war in the Middle East and no plan for what happens next.
The administration must fully brief and make its case to Congress as soon as possible.
Actually, just the opposite is true.
Taking out Soleimani put Iran in check.
Bankrupting Iran the way Trump did put them in check.
They only understand strength, these radicals.
That's the only thing that they will respond to.
Had Israel been given the green light and the help and support of the United States to win their war against radical Islamic terrorism, perhaps those children that were slaughtered in that soccer field just a few days back wouldn't have been slaughtered.
Now, to the credit of the Israelis, they reached straight into Iran.
They've already taken out the number four guy of Hamas, the number three guy of Hamas, the number two guy of Hamas.
And I want to congratulate Prime Minister Netanyahu because it looks like they successfully pulled off an extremely sophisticated, gutsy, courageous, successful mission by Israel's special ops forces to take out the number one Hamas leader.
And this on the heels of taking out the person that was responsible for the attack on the soccer field that killed all these kids in Israel.
Anyway, Dr. Ronnie Jackson put out an ex post that says that Kamala Harris's foreign policy is insane, will cater to Iran, appease authoritarians.
Not a good look for a presidential nominee.
And then he retweeted Kamala Harris's comments on Soleimani.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
Thank you for having me.
Well, I mean, I don't know what else to call it except appeasement.
Yeah, Sean, you know, where we're at right now, because it all started with Afghanistan, if you remember.
And, of course, you know, Kamala Harris is part of that team.
And the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left this incredible vacuum where we have absolutely no oversight or input into what's going on there.
You know, reports are now, verified reports, that there are more terrorist groups training right now in Afghanistan than there were prior to 9-11.
It is once again a terrorist hotbed for training.
Combine that with the fact that we have an open southern border in which we know a lot of ISIS and Al-Qaeda Taliban fighters have been crossing our border.
We've caught hundreds of them that are on the terror watch list.
There's no telling how many that were among the Godaways that are here setting up terrorist cells now.
You mentioned that Iran, they're rolling all of this.
And the fact that when President Trump was in office, he had powerful sanctions in place that choked off the money for Iran.
And Sean, I have seen reports of some of the information that was being collected during the Trump administration and the phone calls going back and forth between the Iranians and their proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, was that they were begging for more money.
They said, we need money.
We can't function as your terrorist proxy without money.
And Iran was saying, we don't have any money.
We are broke.
And then the Biden administration comes in, the Biden-Harris administration, and like you said, they stopped enforcing the sanctions, $40, $50, $60 billion in funds that they get there.
We give them $6 billion for hostages, right?
They're flushed with money.
Suddenly, all of these terrorist proxy groups are just rolling in money.
And that's what's leading to what's going on now in the Middle East.
And the Biden administration has done nothing to push back on the violence from these proxy groups.
So terrorism is out of control.
There are sales here in the United States.
It's out of control all over the, you know, we're losing Africa every day.
There's another country in Africa that basically falls that they kicked the Americans and the French or whoever else from the West was out.
And these terror proxy or these terror groups are moving in.
We're in trouble, Sean.
We are about to have some bad things happen in this country thanks to the Biden-Harris agenda over the last three and a half years.
I think the biggest and the greatest national security threat in our lifetime is because of their wide open borders policy.
I mean, I've been pointing this out.
Over 11 million unvetted Biden-Harris illegal immigrants.
We know people with terror ties have gotten caught.
We have no idea how many gotaways have gotten into the country.
We know that 180 countries is where they've come from, including countries that have terror ties, like Iran's in Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan.
We know they're coming from countries like Venezuela and Russia and China.
I mean, tens and tens of thousands, not a small number of people.
I bet every bit of every penny I have, Congressman, and I pray to God I'm wrong.
And I've said that every time I mention this, that we have terrorist cells plotting, planning, and scheming now in this country because of their open borders policy.
And it's not a matter of if.
It's when we will be attacked again because of their dereliction of duty.
They're aiding and abetting in the lawbreaking.
And of course, the FBI does nothing about it except go to Congress and say it's never been this loud and this dangerous since 9-11-01.
No, you're absolutely right, Sean.
They are here.
They are ready to go.
A lot of them, I'm sure, they're just waiting on proper time.
But they're here just prior to 9-11.
They're ready to go, and something's going to happen.
It's just a given.
And, you know, they'll try their best to explain it away.
But I promise you, you will be able to trace it immediately right back to our open southern border.
That's where it'll come from.
And, you know, to some extent from Afghanistan and what happened there.
Don't forget that when we left Afghanistan, you know, in the unbelievably inappropriate fashion that we did, we abandoned a prison in Bagram that had 7,000 hardened ISIS fighters in it.
And those 7,000 fighters were freed.
God knows where they went.
They went all over the place.
Some of them stayed in the country.
Some of them left.
One of them was the Abbey Gate bomber, right?
So that's directly on Biden-Harris right there.
I mean, this is just the beginning, I'm afraid.
I think you're totally right, Sean.
So what do we do about it?
I mean, if we don't win this election, and we're now in a situation, and I was talking about this earlier in the program with Bill O'Reilly, where you have the most radical person to ever run for the presidency.
I won't repeat all the radical positions because it would take me a half hour to get through it all.
But I've been mentioning it every night on TV and every day on the radio, and I've been playing her in her own words, and I've been going through the list of positions that no president has ever taken.
And if she ever ascends to the presidency, I just fear that America is never going to be able to recover if these policies are implemented and somebody with her worldview is leading this country.
It's not personal.
It's just, I just can't believe somebody this radical has ascended to this level of power.
It's a fact, Sean.
I mean, it's an absolute fact.
And, you know, they filled the White House and the West Wing with the people that have similar ideology as her.
They're out there.
And, you know, we've had this in disastrous policies for the last three and a half years.
They're going to even get worse under a Harris administration.
And you're absolutely right, Sean.
You know, I don't know what we do.
The only way we save this country is to bring Donald Trump back to back to the White House.
If we re-elect Donald Trump as our president, he will take a round turn on this, and we will take control of this.
We will start kicking these.
Go out and we will find these people in our country and we will get rid of them and we will shut down our southern border and all the other issues that have led to this will be over.
Now, if she wins, I don't know.
I can't tell you what happens.
I almost hate to say it, but I think that a lot of bad things have to happen and the American people have to wake up.
And, you know, if we're foolish enough, you know, for her to be re-elected.
And, you know, I don't know if that would actually be legitimate or if it would be in conjunction with some of the fraud and stuff that went on last time.
But either way, if she ends up as our president, we're in trouble.
And there will be some really seriously bad things that happen in this country before people, you know, decide enough is enough.
But, you know, we don't need to go there.
We don't have to go down that path.
All we have to do is elect Donald Trump as our president, and we can avoid going down that path.
All right, quick break, right back more with Dr. Congressman Ronnie Jackson.
And your call's then coming up as well.

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz Now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we continue with Dr. and also Congressman Ronnie Jackson discussing the foreign policy implications of a very weak vice president, now presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.
Isn't it kind of amazing that you are one of the people like myself very early on to recognize Joe Biden was in a significant cognitive decline and both of us took a lot of heat for saying it.
I don't regret telling people the truth.
I never will.
But isn't it a little bit strange that now all of a sudden Joe's out of the way and he'll have his big moment, I guess, on Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
And then pretty much it's all her.
And nobody seems to blink an eye that, you know, just with a little over 100 days before an election, Democrats can pull those little switcheroo because, oh, all of a sudden, what we have been pointing out for four years became a realization for people that never saw it before when we know damn well they did see it before.
Kamala Harris, you know, covered it up, as well as the complicit media mob and the Democratic Party that had been around him so often.
They all knew.
His family knew.
They all knew.
They all lied.
They all covered up.
There's no consequences.
Why?
Yeah, no, I mean, 100%, because they have top cover.
They have top cover from every law enforcement agency out there, DOJ and everything else.
They control that part of it.
They control the press.
And you're right.
Everyone knew.
And, you know, Joe Biden, the president's physician, his chief of staff, all the people that were surrounding him, the rest of his family, they're supposed to care about him.
They should have done something about this.
They should have never let him run in the first place because you and I were both saying it when it was candidate Joe Biden that this guy's got some obvious issues going on.
And sure enough, we said it's going to get worse and not better.
And it did.
And here we are.
But look, I mean, I think that the people that are to blame the most are the press because they failed miserably in their job.
You can understand why somebody who's like addicted to the power and the authority that they have from being in close proximity in the West Wing to the president, like his senior staff and even First Lady Jill Biden, who wanted to be First Lady more than she wanted her next breath.
We could all see that too.
You can see why they would do what they do.
But the press, it's the press's job to reveal that, to ask the questions that need to be asked and to get the answers and to let the American people know what's really going on.
And they willingly looked the other way and let all of this happen.
They knew just like you and I did that this man was not fit to be a leader.
They knew he wasn't leading the country, that he wasn't the one making the decisions.
Yet they sit quietly in the press briefing room and said nothing about it, nothing.
And so I think that the American people should take from this that the press is completely untrustworthy and unreliable from this point forward.
They are the biggest part of the problem that we have in this country right now, if you ask me, and that they are responsible for not only for Joe Biden, but maintaining his position where he's at, but anything that happens in this country as a result of that, you can hang that around the press's neck.
Appreciate you being with us, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, Congressman.
Thank you.
Spectacular man, a great leader.
Andy is a father, an entrepreneur, and a middle Tennessee native who has a proven track record of creating jobs and protecting your communities and standing up for Tennessee values.
Andy bravely stood up against the Biden administration's unconstitutional COVID mandates and strongly defended the freedoms of Tennessee families.
Do we just have to elect Andy Ogles for Congress?
I'm Andy Ogles.
I approve this message.
All right, Andy Ogles joins us right now.
Why have you been targeted this way?
Well, you know, thanks for having me on the show.
You know, I'm outspoken.
I'm close to Trump.
And, you know, the never-Trump crowd in Tennessee, they can't beat Trump here.
They know he's going to win.
And so I'm the next best thing.
They're even doing get out the vote effort with Democrats trying to get them to switch over and vote against me.
But, you know, we're working hard.
We're running through the tape.
Our kids run cross country.
So I always tell them, you know, turn on your jets and run through the tape.
The race ain't over until you're done.
And that's what we're doing.
So tell me where the race stands right now.
I've not seen any polling on it.
What do you have?
Well, so we're in the lead.
You know, we're taking nothing for granted.
You know, obviously, when you have low voter turnout like you do in Tennessee right now, getting your people out is important.
And so that's really what we focused on here these last, you know, during early vote and, of course, going in tomorrow is making sure that our people, the Trump supporters, get out and vote and cast their vote.
Look, you know, I'm the one that's been out there defending Trump.
I've got the articles of impeachment against Kamala Harris.
You know, I'm one of the fighters.
I was in New York with Donald Trump during his trial, and that's why they're targeting me.
And look, you know, I'm literally ranked the fourth most conservative member of Congress.
And they don't like people like you, Sean.
They don't like people like me because we're going to speak truth and we're trying to save the Republic.
Well, we are trying to.
So tell people about voting and tell everyone where your district exactly is.
Yeah, so I've got roughly the southern third of Davidson County, and then I've got the suburbs of Wilson and Williamson County, and then three rural counties of Lewis, Murray, and Marshall.
So it's southern middle Tennessee.
And, you know, you can go to andyogles.com and obviously throw some support our way.
But if you're in the fifth district or if you know someone who lives in that Franklin, Brentwood, Mount Juliet, Spring Hill, Columbia area, call them, make sure they get out to vote.
This is critical.
They're trying to take me out in the same way they've targeted other conservatives across the country.
Well, we want to help you as much as we can.
You have a lot of friends on this program, and we really appreciate you being with us.
And that primary is tomorrow.
And your district in Tennessee is a very important seat.
We need to win it, and we need a strong conservative.
And you've proven yourself to be that.
And we wish you the best tomorrow.
Absolutely.
Thank you so much.
And again, vote tomorrow, Andy Ogles, Tennessee 5.
I appreciate it.
Tennessee 5, Andy Ogles.
Anyway, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Linda and her significant other were down in Florida yesterday.
I had a chance to see them.
It was actually great to see you.
Oh, I'm glad to be seen and not be, you know, disappointed.
I saw you in Milwaukee.
I saw you in Milwaukee.
How do you say Chicago?
Just out of curiosity.
Not the way you say it, I'm sure.
I know I was talking to Eugene Moy earlier.
You were talking to who?
Our guest earlier and the chief of police of detectives.
And we were talking and stuff.
And it was so funny because I was listening to his accent and he was listening to mine.
He goes, oh, yeah, you got a strong accent.
I'm like, you got a strong accent because that's Chicago.
You know, he's like, you know, it's funny to me, like, how I can hear it on other people, but I don't hear it on myself.
The only thing that I care about in Chicago is the best natural casing hot dog, Chicago-style hot dog.
And I want to know what place to go.
We put that up on Hannity.com, right?
We did.
I'm looking for people to write in and explain what kind of natural casing hot dog with the snap that you keep talking about is subscribing to the keto-friendly plan that you so often talk about.
Can I ask you this?
So you had your significant other.
Yes, what?
Okay, so you had your significant other who really had my husband with me.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
You had, I don't know if I'm allowed to mention names or anything.
My husband Anthony was with me.
Say Anthony.
Okay.
So I'm trying to talk to Anthony a little bit, and then he just reveals to me, I said, oh, you got to sit in on the show yesterday.
And he said, no, I didn't get to sit in.
I said, oh, how come?
I said, he goes, I got kicked out of the room.
You kicked him out of the room?
Listen, you know, I have to focus.
You kicked your husband out of the room?
He is a handsome, dapper gentleman.
I can't have him around.
He's way more handsome than I am.
I'm not going to disagree with that.
He's way more handsome than everybody.
That's a problem.
So I need to focus on, you know, the death and destruction that is our modern day news.
You mean that looking at him would be a distraction if he was in the same room and you can't work in the same room together?
I can't.
The only thing I want to do when I'm around him is smooch him and snuggle with him.
And that's really not, you know, my, my call to action here at the Hannity show.
You know, I got to be serious and mean.
Oh, my gosh.
This is really unbelievable.
Now, I almost had a fatal disaster yesterday.
So I'm standing next to Linda.
I'm about to be introduced and I have all these people to thank.
Maybe, what, 15 or so people?
There's about 100 people in the room.
It was a big room.
Okay.
I had a lot of people whose names I had to mention.
And I'm like, okay, let me, and how do you pronounce that person's last name again?
This one?
Okay, got it.
Got it.
Got it.
And so I go up there.
I did nail it.
I got it.
No, you got to listen.
You got to give you, I'm going to interrupt you for a moment.
I know that's so unusual.
But I mean, in all honesty, you're very, very good at names and faces.
And there's a lot of people coming up.
They all want to talk to you and remember this and remember that.
And to your credit, you actually do most of the time.
You're like, oh, yeah, that was in blah, blah, blah here.
And I'm like, what the hell?
I'm like, how do you remember that?
Like, you're really good with that stuff.
Okay.
So, but we met a lot of people.
And I was, you know, I had an opportunity to spend about two hours there.
And I know you were there till like after midnight.
I was.
And I heard you had a great time.
Everybody had a great time, which is awesome.
And great people.
Julie Palvett.
And then, so anyway, so I'm so focused on remembering everybody I have to thank, I didn't thank you.
And which was, so we're walking out and you're like, you know, a little honorable.
And I'm going to said, oh, my gosh.
I said, I'm, you know, I just, I want to give you kudos on that lovely speech you gave in front of all of these people.
And you were sincere, which was shocking.
And I was.
I was like, you know, it's a rare moment for me.
I'm giving you a compliment.
I'm telling you.
In your world, I never do anything right.
So this was like a shocking moment.
Listen, you got enough people to kiss your ass.
I'm not here to kiss your ass.
I'm here to piss you off and help you do a good show.
And you're welcome.
But it was very funny because I said, oh, you thanked, you know, Alan and Dan and Julie.
And, you know, you remembered like the guy, you know, serving the drinks.
And amazing.
I was like, you know, but, you know, there was this one girl.
She works on your show every day.
She's been with you 19 years.
Just totally slipped your mind.
And what did I say?
And you went, oh, and you're like, oh, no, I'm going to fix this right now.
Or I'm going to hear about it for the rest of my life.
Which was back in the room.
I took the microphone and I said, may I have your attention?
And then I did the biggest shout out to you, which I thought was appropriate.
Very annoying.
But when you think of the circumstances, I mean, you were there actually helping me.
I'm like, all right, thank this one, this one, this one.
No, of course.
I mean, I was really just breaking your space.
Nobody tells me.
Nobody tells me I'm speaking until like five minutes before I'm speaking, which is typical.
And I'm fine with it because I speak for a living.
And I never have any problem doing that.
For example, I go to my sister.
She just had a big birthday.
And I went to a party.
And then my niece Cassie comes up to me and says, oh, yeah, would you mind saying a few words about mom?
I said, sure.
What do you want me to say?
She goes, now.
And I got up and I gave a 12-minute speech.
And I can send you a copy of it.
Somebody taped it.
I would like to see that.
That's very sweet.
I know.
It's actually too syrupy for me.
So I was sitting next to you.
So don't put it on X and Facebook.
Don't do that.
No, don't do that.
Anyway.
Will you do me a favor?
Bring Anthony to Chicago.
Sensei's going to be there.
Yeah.
Listen.
Sensei's coming.
I'll tell you what.
We could all go out and get some meat.
And you could see some of them.
Yeah, we'll all go out and get some hot dogs and snap them in half.
It'll be great.
There's nothing weird about that.
Oh, my gosh.
At least if Anthony's there, I'm not going to be the only one that's getting pounded on.
Oh, listen, I save that only for you, Sean.
Don't worry.
Oh, I get special treatment.
All right.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
Mary is in the free state of Florida where I am, my home state.
How are you, Mary?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
How are you doing?
You know, I was a little nervous sitting here waiting, and then I was listening to Linda and I just calmed right down laughing.
So she's awesome.
So, how are you doing today?
I'm good.
How are you today?
I'm glad you called.
Hey, yes, sir.
So, me listening to you goes back to Hannity and Combs.
And so, I've heard the let not your heart be troubled so more so many times.
It's not funny, but my heart is troubled some right now because there is so much at stake.
Our country is literally at a precipice right now, and it's going to go.
We're either going to fall off the cliff in November or we're going to get back upright.
And I wish President Trump would kind of calm down a little bit, let us do the attacking of Kamala.
And I'll tell people she's stupid and everything, but he needs to stay on point and stick to the issues.
And I know your buddy's with him, and I wish you could just get him to calm down just a little bit.
Don't lose who he is, you know, don't lose that personality and everything, but just calm down, bring down a couple of notches.
And remember, we need to pull people in.
I'd love to see him go into underserved communities like he did in New York during the trial.
That was so uplifting, and it's like, all right, we're getting people pulled in and everything.
He's got the base, he's got the base.
I agree with that.
And look, if you're asking me if there's a difference between worry, which I think gets compulsive mentally, emotionally, and concern.
If you're asking me if I'm concerned, I'm always concerned.
Worried, I refuse to let my mind worry.
I would rather take all of that energy and focus it into my work and try to do the best job I can possibly do because I see a real void in this election, and that is the vetting of Kamala Harris.
And I feel like I can do it better than anybody, and I'm doing my level best to do just that, playing her in her own words, laying out all of her failures, her radical positions.
And I want to inform every American because I am convinced that if every American knows this, then we're going to win this election.
With that said, the attacks, you got to understand, we're up against very powerful forces.
The media is in the tank for her, state-run media.
You know, the deep state is in the tank for her.
Big tech is in the tank for her.
And she is going to lie and flip and flop and flail.
And we're going to have to deal with all of it.
And it's not going to be fair coverage.
And we're just, what I'm hoping to do is there's enough people that listen to this program that I'm deputizing you.
And we're going to put up the list of all of Kamala's extremism.
And we're going to let people download it on Hannity.com.
We'll try and get it up today.
And I'm going to let people download all these positions.
And you can print it out.
And you can print out copies.
And you can give it to your friends and give it to your neighbors and give it to your relatives and give it to your coworkers and inform them.
And I think if they read it, I think that the odds of us winning go up substantially.
But with that said, I'm going to say this one more time.
We have to assume, everybody listening has to assume their vote is going to tip this election.
There has to be an urgency like you've never had before.
There has to be a belief that we're behind, we're losing right now.
There has to be a belief that we've got to play our best game.
If we don't, I don't know what, you know, I won't ever give up on America, but I don't know what America is going to look like four years from now.
I think it's going to be a disaster.
I fear for the world.
I fear I've never been this concerned about this country or the state of the world that I am now.
So in that sense, I am concerned, but I refuse to go to the area of worry.
But I got to run.
I appreciate the call.
