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 in dollars in oil sales by turning a blind eye to those sales.
They have offered waivers so that countries like Iraq can pay uh the Iranian mullas 10 million plus dollars at a clip.
They even offered a six billion dollar ransom payment to the Iranian mullas themselves until it became public news.
Why they won't allow Israel and and and have been pushing and forcing Israel to retreat in their war on terror when they lost the equivalent of what have been 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.
Why, 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, what who who then attacked us on 9-1101?
Who attacked Israel on October the seventh?
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.
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 uh think back to when Solomani, this is a guy that killed Americans in Iraq.
This this was the number one terrorist coming out of Iran.
He was the architect.
He was the the leader of this terrorist movement.
And Donald Trump took him out on a tarmac, thankfully.
And he and Vice then Vice President Harris tweeted out January 3rd, 2020.
It said, Solomon 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 Solomon, put Iran in check, bankrupting s Iran the way Trump did, put them in check.
They only understand strength.
These 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 to 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 look looks like they successfully pulled off an extremely sophisticated, gutsy, courageous, successful mission by uh r Israel's special ops forces to take out the number one Hamas leader, and this on the heels of taking out the orchestra the for the person that was responsible for the attack on the soccer field that killed all these kids in Israel.
Anyway, Dr. Ronnie Jackson, you know, put out a an ex post that says it's that Kamala Harris's foreign policy is insane, will cater to Iran, appease authoritarians.
Not a good look for a presidential nominee.
And then uh he retweeted Kamala Harris's comments on Solomon.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, how 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 uh 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, uh verified reports, that there are more terrorist groups training right now in Afghanistan than there were prior to 911.
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 uh, you know, 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 gotta ways that are here setting up terror sales now.
You mentioned, you know, that uh, you know, the the that Iran, their their role in all of this, and the fact that when President Trump was in office, he had uh uh powerful sanctions in place that choked off the money for Iran.
And Sean, I have seen reports, you know, of some of the some of the uh 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, uh, you know, the Houthis, was that they were begging for more money.
They said we need money.
We can't 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 they stopped enforcing the sanctions, 40, 50, 60 billion dollars in funds that they get there.
We give them six billion dollars 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 all, you know, we're we're losing Africa every day.
There's another country in Africa that basically falls uh that they kick the Americans and you know 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 terrorists 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 eleven million uh unvetted Biden Harris illegal immigrants.
We know people with terror ties have gotten caught.
We have no money or no idea how many gotta ways have gotten into the country.
We know that a hundred and eighty countries is where they've come from, including countries that have terror ties, like Iran's in Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan.
Uh, 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.
Uh I bet every bit of every penny I have, uh, Congressman, and I pray to God I'm wrong.
And I've said that every time I mentioned 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, their aiding and abetting in the law breaking, 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 9-1101.
No, you're absolutely right, Sean.
They are here.
They are they are ready to go.
A lot of them, I'm sure they're just waiting on uh proper time, but they're here just prior to 9-11.
Uh, they're ready to go, and something's going to happen.
It's just 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 whenever we walk when we left Afghanistan, you know, in the in the unbelievably uh 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 uh that's directly on Biden Harris right there.
I mean, in in uh this is just the beginning, I'm afraid.
I think I think you're totally right, Sean.
So what do we do about it?
I mean, if we don't win this election, and and we're now in a situation, and I uh was talking about this earlier in the program with Bill O'Reilly, where uh 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, you know, a half hour to get through it all.
Uh but I've been mentioning it every night on TV and 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 I just I just fear that America's never going to be able to recover if these policies are implemented, and somebody with her world view 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, that they filled the White House and the West Wing with the people that are uh similar ideology as her, uh, they're out there, and uh, you know, we've had it's it's in disastrous policies for the last three and a half years.
They're gonna even get worse under a Harris administration.
And you're absolutely right, Sean.
Uh, you know, we 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 get he will take a round turn on this and we will take control of this.
We will start kicking these we will fight, we'll 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 I can't tell you what happened.
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 uh, you know, and i i if they if they're if we're foolish enough, you know, uh for her to be re-elected, and I, you know, I don't know if that would be actually 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 it will there will be some really seriously bad things that happen in this country before people uh you know uh decide enough is enough.
But uh, 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 we 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.

All right, we continue with Dr. and also Congressman Ronnie Jackson discussing, you know, the foreign policy implications of a very weak vice president, now presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.
Isn't it kind of amazing that you're 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 uh telling people the truth.
I never will.
But isn't a little bit strange that 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 and then pretty much it's all her.
And nobody seems to blink an eye that, you know, just with a little over a hundred 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 the complicit media mob and 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 a hundred percent, because they have top cover, they have top cover from every law enforcement agency out there, DOJ and everything else.
They 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, uh, 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, you know, we said it's gonna 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 Joe 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're doing, 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 they willingly look 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 I I think that the American people should take from this that the press is completely untrustworthy and running reliable 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 and occupado and a middle Tennessee native who is 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 mandate and strongly defended the freedoms of Tennessee family.
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, uh thanks for having me on the show.
You know, I'm outspoken, I'm close to Trump.
And you know, the the never Trump crowd in Tennessee.
They can't beat Trump here.
They know he's gonna win, and so I'm the next best thing.
They're even doing a get it get out the vote effort with Democrats trying to get them to switch over and vote against me.
But uh, you know, we're working hard, we're running through the tape, our kids 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 till you're done, and and that's what we're doing.
So tell me where the race stands right now.
Uh I've not seen any polling on it.
What are you what do you have?
Well, so we're in the lead, but you know, we're taking nothing for granted.
You know, obviously when you have low tur uh voter turnout like you do in Tennessee right now, uh, getting your people out is is uh important, and so that's really what we focused on here these last uh 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 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 I'm literally ranked the fourth most conservative conservative member of Congress, and uh they don't like people like you, Sean.
They don't like people like me because we're going to speak truth and because we're 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 uh roughly the the southern third of Davidson County, and then I've got the suburbs of Wilson and uh Williamson County, and then three rural counties of Lewis Murray and Marshall.
So it's southern middle Tennessee, and uh, you know, you can go to Andy Ogles.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.
Uh you have a lot of friends on this program, and we really appreciate you being with us.
And uh that primary is tomorrow, and uh 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, uh vote tomorrow, Andy Ogles, Tennessee Five.
All right, appreciate it.
Tennessee five Andy Ogles.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh Linda and her significant other were down in uh Florida yesterday, had a chance to see them.
Uh it was actually great to see you.
Oh, I'm glad to be seen and not be uh, you know, disappointment.
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 you know, I was talking to you G Moy earlier, and you were talking you were talking to who?
Our our guest and uh earlier and uh the 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 that 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 we did.
Um I'm looking for people to write in and explain uh what kind of natural casing hot dog with the snap that you keep talking about is uh subscribing to the keto friendly plan that you so often talk about.
And I ask you this, so you had your significant, yes, what?
Okay, so you had your significant other who really isn't yes, I 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.
Anthony.
Say Anthony.
Okay.
So I'm I'm trying to talk to Anthony a little bit.
And then he just reveals to me.
I said, Oh, uh, you 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, I I he goes, I got kicked out of the room.
You kicked him out of the room.
Listen.
You know, we I have to focus.
You kicked your husband out of the room?
He is a handsome dapper gentleman.
I can't have him around.
That's way more handsome than I am.
I'm not going to disagree with that.
That's a problem.
So I need to focus on you know the death and destruction that is our modern day news.
Oh, you mean he that looking at him would be a distraction if he was in the same room.
Yeah, and you can't work in the same room together.
I can't.
I think I 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, the my my call to action here at the Hannity Show.
You know, I gotta be serious and mean.
Oh my gosh.
Uh this is really unbelievable.
Now I almost had a fatal disaster yesterday.
So um 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 is that a five year old.
No, there's about a hundred 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, gotta got it.
And so I go up there, I did nail it.
I got it.
No, you got listen, you gotta give you, I'm gonna 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 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 yeah.
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 you we we met a lot of people, and I I was, you know, I had an opportunity to spend about two hours there, and I know you were there uh till like after midnight.
Um I was uh and I heard you had a great time, everybody had a great time, which is awesome.
And great people called it.
And then so anyway, so as I'm so focused on remembering everybody I have to thank, I didn't thank you.
And you know, I mean, you know, which which was so we walk it out, and you're like, you know, a little honorable and I'm I said, Oh my gosh.
I said, I'm no, that's not what I said.
I said, 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 it's it's a rare moment for me.
I'm giving you a compliment.
I'm tired of it.
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 uh, you know, you remembered like the guy, you know, serving the drinks, and I'm amazing.
I was like, you know, I but you know, there was this one girl.
Uh she works on your show every day.
She's been with you 19 years, just totally slipped your mind.
And what and what did I do?
Oh you're like, oh no, I'm gonna fix this right now, or I'm gonna hear about it for the rest of my life.
Which quite frankly, 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 nice.
But but when you uh 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 own.
But nobody tells me pretty funny.
Nobody tells me I'm speaking until like five minutes before I'm speaking, which is you typical, and I'm fine with it because I speak for a living, and I never have any problem doing that.
Uh 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?' She said, Sure, when do you want me to say it?
She goes, now.
And I gave got up and I gave uh at the 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 syrup-y 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 um Chicago?
Yeah.
Listen.
Dense's coming.
I'll tell you what, I will.
We could all go out, and we could all go we could all go out and get some meat and you could sit there and 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.
Uh 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 she's awesome.
How are you doing today?
I'm good.
How are you today?
Um I'm glad you called.
Hey, yes, sir.
Um, so uh me listening to you guys back to Hannity and Comes, 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 gonna go we're either gonna fall off the cliff in November or we're gonna 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 buddies 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 calm down, bring down a couple of notches and 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.
But I agree, I agree with that.
And uh look, if you're asking me if there's a difference between worry, which I think it's compulsive uh mentally, emotionally, and concern.
If you're asking me if I'm concerned, I'm always concerned.
Um 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 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 I'm I'm doing my level best to do just that, playing her in a wor 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 gonna win this election.
With that said, the attacks you you gotta understand we're gonna 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 gonna lie and flip and flop and flail, and we're gonna have to deal with all of it.
And it's not gonna be fair coverage, and and um 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 gonna put up the list of all of Kamala's extremism, and we're gonna let people download it on on Hannity.com.
We'll try and get it up today.
And I'm gonna 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 co-workers, and inform them.
And I think if they read it, I think that uh the odds of us winning go up substantially.
But with that said, I'm gonna say this one more time.
We have to assume everybody listening has to assume their vote is gonna 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 we've got to play our best game.
If we don't, I don't know what, you know, we'll we'll I I won't ever give up on America.
But I don't know what America's gonna look like four years from now.
I think it's gonna be a disaster.
I I fear for the world.
I fear I've never been this concerned about this country or the state of the world than I am now.
So in that sense, I am concerned, but I refuse to go to the area of worry.
But I gotta run.
I appreciate the call.
