This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi. | |

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts. | |
All right. | |
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us right down our toll-free telephone number. | |
It's 800-941 Sean. | |
If you want to be a part of the program three days away in mail and ballots will be going out in states like North Carolina elsewhere. | |
We are in Harrisburg, PA for tonight's town hall with President Donald J. Trump. | |
Thirteen days until early voting begins right here in this state, rolls out all around the country, all the other swing states, and 62 days until Election Day, and I would argue it is an inflection point for the country. | |
We start tonight with a lot of sad news. | |
What we know now is a Georgia high school shooting has taken place. | |
North Central Georgia, Barrow County, and I know the area well. | |
Appalachi uh high school, and it's about 40 miles or so northeast of Atlanta. | |
And it started at about 1023 this morning. | |
Officers, multiple law enforcement agencies, fire EMS personnel dispatched to the high school, uh reported active shooting. | |
Uh what we know as of now, and this can change uh throughout the day, and and you know, our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in Georgia. | |
I lived in Georgia four years, have a lot of friends there. | |
Is that four have been confirmed dead, and uh, you know, nine taken to hospitals. | |
They think 30, the one reported 30 had been shot all together, and we just don't know the condition of the people. | |
I'm sure we'll be hearing more about it as the day unfolds, but our prayers are with everybody there, and it is very fluid. | |
We know that the shooter um is believed to be a 14-year-old male. | |
And that um, you know, we just don't know the whys, the how comes, the wherefores, other than the other than that. | |
And um, you know, we probably will know a lot more in the hours to come. | |
And it just is tragic because there are families today that have lost their children. | |
And there are parents today that are in hospital rooms frame for their kids. | |
And it just is, you know, another example that evil, unfortunately, does exist in this world. | |
And, you know, we see it with a lot of different issues. | |
This this is why I don't understand this mentality of no bail loss or defund or do the you know, dismantle, you know, reimagine. | |
What does this mean? | |
Reimagine the police. | |
What does any of that mean? | |
That's why I don't understand 11 million unvetted illegal immigrants at our southern border. | |
And in spite of the fact that I read the names and scroll the names on television, you know, on an on a near-nightly basis of all these people that have been murdered and raped and victims of violent crimes, you know, we we're still told, oh no, the borders secure, the borders the borders safe. | |
You know, Donald Trump wants to build a wall, but if he builds a 25-foot wall, I'll build a 30-foot ladder factory. | |
Or that if Donald Trump You know, Donald Trump actually thinks a wall is gonna stop terrorists, an invasion of terrorists. | |
Well, what's happened since they opened the borders and then lied to us and said there's, you know, the borders are secure. | |
I mean, there's there's politics behind it, but then there's just the pure evil in the world, which is why you protect your home. | |
You protect your environment. | |
I've said about schools in particular. | |
I would have the perimeter of every school in this country surrounded. | |
I would make sure that you had retired military police. | |
You don't have to be in, they don't have to be in SWAT gear or camouflage. | |
They could be just dressed in regular clothes. | |
You surround the perimeter, secure the perimeter of every school, and then you have also retired military, retired police, again, armed inside the school, and you protect that school environment. | |
You create a zone which is safe. | |
I could tell you the amount of secret service work that has gone into tonight's town hall is I've I've never seen this much, and this is post assassination attempt. | |
It's a different environment. | |
If we can protect presidents and presidential candidates, why don't we protect our children too? | |
And I think that would be the very first line of defense. | |
And every kid that goes into any school should have to go through a metal detector. | |
You go to the airport, you go through a metal detector. | |
I go to the DNC or the RNC, I go through a metal detector. | |
I get wanted. | |
I have to empty my pockets. | |
And you know, just basic common sense measures. | |
And I need I need uh a picture ID, even to get the people that think that it's you know racist. | |
It doesn't matter. | |
I mean, it doesn't take away the pain that these families are going to go through now. | |
You know, one thing that I've learned over the years interviewing family members that have lost loved ones is that pain never goes away. | |
You lose the child. | |
I have seen examples of people that have done okay, but they're never the same. | |
They're never the same. | |
And anyway, our prayers are with our friends in Georgia today. | |
And uh, you know, we'll keep you up to speed on any new new developments on this. | |
But this uh Georgia school shooting, it's just sad, it's tragic, and I would argue if you have security measures in place, having learned from previous school shootings, then a lot of this could be preventable. | |
I'm not saying all of it, but a lot of it. | |
If you did everything that I just said, and I've been saying this for years, create a perimeter around the school. | |
Nobody gets in. | |
You know, the school, and unless you have the appropriate identification. | |
Unless you're a student. | |
Then you go through a metal detector. | |
Then you go into the school. | |
I mean, we do that to get on an airplane every single time. | |
Do that to get into Democratic Republican conventions every single time. | |
Had to show my ID four separate times to get into the DNC. | |
Uh hi, Mr. Hannity. | |
Uh, could I see your I could I see your credentials, please? | |
Here you go. | |
Here's my credentials. | |
So, and then if you if you did those things, ask yourself, what are the odds that this wouldn't happen? | |
Would they not be greatly reduced? | |
I think it would be. | |
And I'm not blaming this school, and I'm not blaming this area, you know, it can happen anywhere. | |
That's the problem. | |
Just like drug overdose can happen any these things can happen anywhere. | |
So you just always have to prepare for the worst, assume the worst. | |
I always tell people to have a home safety security plan and a personal safety and security plan. | |
I mean, I obviously because of what I do for a living, I don't talk about all the threats that I face and have faced in my life. | |
I don't think anybody wants to hear it, but I take it seriously, and I want to want to take our schools seriously. | |
And then prevent what happened today from happening. | |
And it's it's not gonna bring comfort to say that again, but maybe then we can stop the next time. | |
If we got serious about it, and I know it'll be politicized, and you know, but people say, you know, well, this has to do with guns, guns, guns, and I don't think that's the answer. | |
I think actually the guys with the guns that are trained in the proper safety and use of it surrounding the building and being inside the building would probably save lives. | |
That's that's you know, but we'll find out more details as they become available. | |
You know, so I'm doing this town hall with Trump tonight, and Trump Vance have done a combined 34 interviews since last month, compared to only 16 minutes and 29 seconds for Kamala Harris and 11 minutes for Tim Walls. | |
I mean, it's 35 as of tonight. | |
And there's so much we do not know about this woman. | |
And the one 16-minute interview on fake news CNN, we walk away from that interview. | |
We have no idea that the woman who co-sponsored the Green New Deal in the U.S. Senate that is on tape saying that she would abandon the filibuster to pass the $93 trillion Green New Deal. | |
We don't know if she still stands by that. | |
How do you call that journalism? | |
That's not journalism. | |
You know, the person that supported and co-sponsored, again, both these bills with Bernie Sanders. | |
Medicare for All. | |
She's on fake news CNN saying that she supports Medicare for All and the elimination of all private health care. | |
There's a study out of Great Britain today, the NIH, young people now want private health insurance because they're sick and tired of a failed government insurance. | |
The government run insurance that they have there, that's a disaster. | |
Why do so many people with you know universal health care in Canada, single payer, come down to the U.S. for health care? | |
Because the system is not working. | |
You know, we have uh a 16-minute interview, but we don't know if she still supports decriminalizing illegal immigration and wants to offer free housing, health care education, and a path to citizenship for illegals. | |
We don't know. | |
You know, we don't know if she stands by her tweet supporting a bail fund four days after a police precinct was burned to the ground for the rioters in the in the summer of 2020. | |
574 riots, dozens of dead Americans. | |
We had billions in property damage, thousands of injured cops, and does she stand by saying the rioters won't stop rioting and shouldn't stop? | |
And we're not gonna stop. | |
You know, the person, we don't know where she stands on the economy, except she wants to go after big corporations and for price gauging. | |
And it's like, okay, but they only make in groceries, for example, 1.6% profit margin. | |
That's that's hardly out of the ordinary. | |
And what do you think is going to happen when you go after these companies? | |
They're gonna hire lawyers and fight back, and they're gonna have to raise their prices to pay for the expense of law firms they're gonna have to hire. | |
But Bidenomics, we're proud of it. | |
We call it Bidenomics, and it's we're proud of that. | |
Reimagining the police, a nice never say the word radical Islamic terrorism. | |
How are we 45 days in one short interview? | |
And now we're six days away from the one debate, and even last week they were trying to change the rules of the debate. | |
Then, of course, the tax policies, they're gonna tax corporations and uh they're gonna tax small businesses, then they're gonna tax Medicare, and then they're gonna have unrealized capital gains, then they're gonna have a global minimum tax for corporations, which means that we're not gonna be we're not gonna be the tax haven, | |
because we'll go along with all these other countries and tax these corporations when otherwise corporations that may want to avoid paying these these radically high Marxist rates would be coming to America, flocking with their billions and billions of dollars. | |
Well, what would they be doing with those billions if we didn't go along with the the rest of the rest of the Marxist socialized leftist world? | |
Well, they'd be creating high-paying career jobs and job growth went down dramatically, job availability went down dramatically this month, and high paying career jobs for Americans. | |
You can't keep forcing electric vehicles on Americans and expect Americans to do anything other than uh not want to buy them, and then when they don't buy them, then Ford loses four and a half billion dollars. | |
Well, what happens to Ford then? | |
Then they have less money to pay their employees. | |
That means they have less money for high-paying career jobs in the auto industry. | |
And this this is where we now find ourselves as a country at a moment where we just don't know. | |
It's like the ghost. | |
We don't know where she stands. | |
In the media, we have corrupt institutions that are just happy to allow this to happen. | |
Well, Erin Burnett over at CNN. | |
Maybe we ought, uh maybe she just ought to follow the strategy of not talking to the media. | |
How about maybe you should have demanded when when she was on your network that she answer for her radical, extreme and frankly dangerous policies that she has stated she supports in her own words. | |
Maybe that's what they should have done. | |
You know, all of a sudden now, according to unnamed spokespeople, oh, forget about the Medicare for All thing. | |
Never mind. | |
She sponsored the bill. | |
Eliminating private health insurance. | |
It's in her own words. | |
Now we're told she wants to build a border wall, mocking Donald Trump. | |
Border Wall's not gonna work. | |
He thinks a bunch of terrorists are gonna be invading our country. | |
Well, since she's been vice president and borders are, you know, we have hundreds of people with terror ties. | |
We don't know where they are. | |
We don't even they won't tell us where they came from, but that are in our country. | |
And I would argue they're plotting, planning, and scheming the next attack against our country. | |
You know, decriminalizing, you know, free health care education and housing, and a running mate wants free college education, offers legal driver's licenses to illegals, mandatory gun buybacks. | |
By the way, even fake news CNN had to sit call her out on her lie when she said, No, I said in 2020, I'm not a I'm not for a fracking ban. | |
No, she never said it. | |
In the debate, as she claimed on fake news CNN. | |
Anyway, we're in Harrisburg. | |
We have a lot to get to of President Trump tonight. | |
Looking forward to seeing many of you down there. | |
Uh and I am right here in Harrisburg. | |
I am here at an undisclosed location. | |
And Linda is looking very hungry. | |
Wanted a bite of my Philly cheesesteak, which is Harrisburg, which was excellent. | |
I gotta get the name of the place we went to. | |
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi. | |
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why? | |
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. | |
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory. | |
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre? | |
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit. | |
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. | |
You put two and two together. | |
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy? | |
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years. | |

All right, as we roll along, 800 941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, we are in beautiful Harrisburg, PA. | |
Uh, glad to see. | |
Now we we are, you know, for security reasons, there's a lot going on for tonight's town hall, and I've done town halls, you know, for every presidential election season. | |
And this one is harder because of the assassination attempt, and I can tell you they don't even want people on the floor. | |
And they've been very strict about the the time that people can actually get into the facilities, and there's been a lot of checking and things that we never had to go through before, all Secret Service mandated, which I'm all for. | |
I want to make sure that everybody's safe. | |
And um, but anyway, but there's a lot to get to tonight. | |
I don't know how I possibly get it done in an hour. | |
I mean, I promise you that Donald Trump will talk more than 16 minutes and and 29 seconds. | |
I can promise you that part. | |
I mean, but we've got everything to discuss. | |
If this campaign becomes about their economic failed economic policies, if it becomes about their open borders and their lying about the borders and they're lying about the economy, if it becomes about are you better off than you were four years ago, If it becomes about energy prices... | |
If you lies, Hannity supplies the truth. | |
Sean Hannity is on right now. | |
All right, 25 to the top of the hour. | |
As we continue, we are in beautiful Harrisburg PA for our town hall, President Trump tonight. | |
And look, this election's coming on fast and furious. | |
Early ballots uh go out, mail in ballots in North Carolina elsewhere in just a few days. | |
Uh in this great state of Pennsylvania, early voting starts in only 13 days and 62 days until election day, and it's game time. | |
No other way to put it. | |
Uh anyway, we'll give you the other news of the day. | |
We are following the shooting in this Georgia school shooting. | |
Uh Appalachi High School, I hope I pronounced that the right way, in Winder, in uh it's about 40 miles northeast of uh of Atlanta. | |
Uh we have as of now, this could change, four dead, 30 plus wounded, suspect in custody, expected uh they uh they have identified for the first as a 14-year-old. | |
Um anyway, so we just don't know any more. | |
We'll keep you up to speed throughout the show. | |
But look, if you've served our country and our communities, thank you. | |

Such a great service. | |
It's there. | |
Uh, anyway, so we just don't know what to expect. | |
But we know that there are powerful forces aligned against Donald Trump. | |
Look at big tech. | |
Look at what we played. | |
We'll play it again later in the program today, Alexa. | |
Alexa, tell me why I should vote for Donald Trump. | |
We're not allowed to get involved in any political operator at all. | |
Why should I vote for Kamala Harris? | |
Well, Kamala Harris is just fantastic. | |
The greatest thing since sliced bread, the second coming of Jesus. | |
It's insane. | |
And look what Zuckerberg said. | |
Oh, yeah, they did uh yeah, they they were warning us in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. | |
We may be victims of a Russian disinformation campaign about Hunter, Joe, and Barisma. | |
The FBI already corroborated the story. | |
Followed up by 51 former Intel people that knew nothing, absolutely positively nothing about Hunter's very real laptop, verified, authenticated by the FBI in March of 2020. | |
I mean, these are powerful forces. | |
The media is a powerful institution. | |
Big tech is a powerful institution. | |
Now, with that said, uh two guys that have nailed the presidential elections in 2016 and 2020 are now saying Matt Towery, Robert Caheli, two of our regular polls, they're on TV last night. | |
You know, they were both in the top three posters in the 16 and 20 cycles. | |
These guys are very, very thorough and they're very good. | |
And right now they show that Donald Trump is doing extremely well in terms of the swing states, in spite of the honeymoon that is and the honeymoon kind of remains in the sense that the media is not vetting Kamala Harris. | |
There's just nothing new. | |
And now she's becoming a boring presidential candidate who just won't do interviews, which is beginning to piss people off. | |
And Tower said this last night that he believes that Harris is now stalling out now that the novelty is worn off and the momentum that we were seeing after the DNC is sort of come to an end, he said. | |
And anyway, the enthusiasm that we've seen, you know, is now slowed dramatically and is now close to parity, and it seems like it's gonna be a base election, and I I don't know what the tipping point is gonna be. | |
I don't think anybody, here we are 62 days until election day can predict what's gonna happen between now and then that would change this race. | |
Probably the single biggest opportunity for both candidates is gonna be during this debate, and we'll just see what happens. | |
But you know, one thing you could look at, Axios Actually put this out is Harris compared to Biden's polling in 2020 is pretty dramatic. | |
Under 30 voters, and by the way, if you're between the ages of 18 to 24, Kamala Harris thinks you are stupid. | |
And that's why they put you in dormitories with resident assistance. | |
Again, an untold story by the media. | |
But under 30 voters, Harris is trailing Biden polling from 2020 by 12 percentage points. | |
Among African Americans, she's trailing Biden 2020 polls by 10 points. | |
Hispanic Americans, she's trailing Biden 2020 by six percentage points. | |
Men, she's trailing by four. | |
Women, she's trailing Biden by two. | |
Over 65, she leads Biden by one. | |
And that is not exactly the best numbers for Kamala Harris by any stretch of the imagination. | |
Even over at MSTNC, you know, they said that although President Trump, they believe was down in the head-to-head matchup poll, which really is not what matters. | |
We have an electoral college. | |
The former president had come back from, you know, worse in previous elections to either win and make it very close. | |
And I think that I think the same thing, it looks like it's going to unfold here today. | |
And I think that this Kamala Harris duck and dodge and hide and and and flip and flop and flail strategy is not going to wear well in the weeks ahead. | |
And we'll see if my prediction ends up being right here. | |
You know, the Harris campaign is sending out, you know, now they want to flip and flop again. | |
I mean, I can't believe that it's happening. | |
But, you know, this is what they're doing. | |
They've passed they've now changed their position on Medicare for All and Eliminating Health Insurance and the border wall now, at least according to AIDS that are anonymous. | |
And maybe they've decrited they're against decriminalizing border crossings, but we don't know. | |
But they're definitely against her stated position of mandatory gun buybacks. | |
You know, she said on CNN, oh no, I said that uh not for a fracking ban in a debate in 2020, and even fake news CNN had to fact check her and said you never did say that in 2020. | |
You didn't say it. | |
And offshore drilling and taxing tips, and now the latest is the EV mandate. | |
You know, the problem is Senator Harris was a co-sponsor of the Zero Admissions Vehicles Act in 2019 that initially proposed to require a hundred percent of new car sales to be EVs or otherwise be emission free by 2040. | |
And that's all a big deal. | |
She was the second highest ranking member of the Biden administration while it pursued the biggest EV agenda in American history. | |
Ford lost 4.5 billion dollars. | |
And this at some point do you have to ask yourself who you're voting for? | |
You just you just don't care because you just hate Donald Trump. | |
Because that really is the strategy. | |
Let's not make this about substance. | |
Let's make this campaign about all things Donald Trump. | |
Anyway, advocates for reparations are hopeful, according to a report today, that Harris will deliver giving her given her previous support in 2019. | |
Kamala Harris, then Senator, called for some form of reparations for black Americans. | |
You know, though a poll from the previous years indicated only 25% of Americans support that. | |
The White House has dismissed questions about this Kamala Harris new Southern accent, which we played yesterday. | |
It's like, all right, well, the real Kamala please please stand up. | |
Um is this true on on X that Kamala in tw in 2017 claimed her grandmother would go from village to village in India. | |
Is this true? | |
Because it looks like it has a video associated. | |
Is that true? | |
Have you heard it? | |
I mean bullhorn preaching about the need for abortion. | |
Yeah, I've seen it. | |
Kamala Harris claimed that she once worked for McDonald's. | |
Now I don't know if she worked for McDonald's or not, but it is coming under Did you hear about that? | |
It's coming under fire, man. | |
It's coming under fire because since she cited. | |
Or at least no record of it. | |
You wouldn't give your son a happy meal until I intervene. | |
You know what? | |
I told the truth about that. | |
No happy meals on my record either. | |
Okay, so and then An extensive investigation by the Washington Free Beacon, including a review of her employment records, a search through multiple Harris biographies, a check with McDonald's employment archivists, has turned up absolutely zero evidence that Harris ever works slinging Big Macs and happy meals and quarter pounders with cheese. | |
And anyway, the free beacon reports that Harris's McDonald's job goes unmentioned in both of her memoirs published in 2010 and 2019. | |
The Truths We Hold, published ahead of her maiden presidential bid, does include a passage on the many jobs she held in college, but she never worked at McDonald's or referenced McDonald's. | |
What? | |
Ethan was able to pull up the grandmother thing. | |
Oh, let's hear it. | |
I come from a long line of tough uh trailblazing and phenomenal women. | |
Uh my grandmother uh would go into villages in India. | |
Um, and um because she was Indian and lived in India, and she would go to the villages in India. | |
Um it was a famous story in our family. | |
My grandfather would say she was going to be the end of his career, but my grandmother would go into the villages with a bullhorn, talking with the women about the need to have access to reproductive health care. | |
Oh, that's what her grandmother did. | |
I I this is now the big abortion push. | |
The big abortion lies now gonna they're gonna try and turn that into the biggest thing in the world. | |
By the way, Gold Star families are absolutely apoplectic, rightly so. | |
They invited Kamala. | |
They've reached out to Kamala Harris, they've not gotten Kamala to respond or Joe Biden to respond. | |
Donald Trump shows up. | |
The families are so grateful. | |
They said that they've given them comfort in their time of need. | |
It's not the first time that he met with them. | |
He's met with these families that were killed. | |
They lost 13 service members because of the disaster in Afghanistan during that awful pull out, and he goes and meets with them. | |
The families asked for a picture by their relatives' gravesite. | |
I don't know what the rules at Arlington are. | |
I really don't. | |
But if I was there and a family came to me and said, Would you mind taking a picture? | |
And as a public figure, what am I supposed to say to a grieving family? | |
No. | |
How do you say no to that? | |
And it and he and he showed up and gave these families comfort. | |
And then he's the one that is criticized, not the people that stayed home and one was staying on the beach and the other was ten minutes away in her own house. | |
The White House is falsely claiming grocery prices have come down. | |
No, they're up twenty some odd percent, just like Biden inflation up twenty some odd percent. | |
We have weak manufacturing numbers coming out. | |
U.S. factories remained in a slowdown mode in August, fueling fears about where the economies headed. | |
Institute for Supply Management Monthly Survey showed just 47.2% reported expansion during the month, well below the 50% break-even point for activity. | |
That's not a good number. | |
If you know, if you look at Wasserman Schultz, Harris's focus on abortion over the economy. | |
You know, Biden Harris economic record is incredibly strong. | |
Well, tell me about it. | |
What's so strong about it? | |
You pay more for groceries, more for everything you buy at every store you go to, or are you paying less? | |
You pay more for gasoline or you're paying less for gasoline. | |
I mentioned health care earlier. | |
She wants to eliminate private health care. | |
This is out of the UK. | |
Long national health service uh weights are the top reason for going private, according to a survey. | |
The findings point to a generational shift in attitudes towards private health care, with those between the ages of 18 to 34 being more willing to use it. | |
In other words, not being able to get an National Health Service appointment quickly enough was the top reason people cited for using private health care, which Kamala would make illegal. | |
But they're the freedom and joy party. | |
Just like taking away your guns, the freedom and joy party. | |
But I guess you know, freedom is defined at what? | |
Abortion up until the moment of birth with no restrictions on late term abortion? | |
What about the freedom of not being assaulted like a Haitian immigrant who flew to the U.S. courtesy of Harris and Biden? | |
Uh who, by the way, is now in this program, charged in Massachusetts for sexually assaulting a ten year old boy. | |
What about his freedom? | |
What about the joy in that kid's life? | |
He's been, you know. | |
Democratic Senator from Arizona, Kelly. | |
Well, Harris only had a half a second to think when she supported decriminalizing border crossings. | |
Okay, what about the day after? | |
She could have fixed the mistake that she made. | |
Or the day after that, or the day after that. | |
We now have illegal immigrants making up to 75% of arrests in Midtown and in New York City. | |
You know, a pathetic sanctuary city law, handcuffing police and their ability to do their job. | |
An illegal immigrant is jailed for beating up a cop for only one year. | |
Donald Trump will get 50 years for a legal NDA that was put together by an attorney that was labeled the legal expense and not taken off as taxes. | |
They'll want to give him, you know, 50 years in prison. | |
Unreal. | |
Election season is now kicking off. | |
It is right here. | |
But don't worry, don't ask Alexa from Amazon who you should vote for because you're not going to get a good answer. | |
Oh, by the way, I need to point this out. | |
Schools are rethinking homework. | |
Why didn't they do this when I was in school? | |
Oregon reverses course on decriminalizing hardcore drugs because of the disastrous results and death that was associated with it. | |
Well, that was a genius idea to begin with. | |
All right, 800-941 Sean. | |
