Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
For our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, it is now 23 years since America watched in horror.
It seems like yesterday, the Twin Towers falling, the Pentagon getting hit a field in Pennsylvania, and losing 2,977 of our fellow American citizens.
Since then, we have had countless 9-11-related deaths, which never should have happened.
We had heroes that showed up that day, like Todd Beamer and Let's Roll.
That plane, they think, was headed for the Capitol.
It went down in a field in Pennsylvania.
And it is now a point where, you know, we just don't seem to remember, do we?
We've been playing Tara Worley, Have You Forgotten, but it just doesn't seem like we remember, does it?
And it is sad.
We have a presidential candidate that won't say the words, wants us to be courageous enough not to say the words radical Islamic terrorism.
Well, radical Islamic terrorists attacked us, just like they killed the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in Israel on October 7th.
There are radical Islamic terrorists that believe in a caliphate, that believe in a sick, twisted, despicable ideology, convert or die.
Here's Michael W. Smith.
This just into our newsroom, a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.
Apparently, that was another plane.
An airplane has crashed into the World Trade Center.
All is lost.
There appears to be a gaping hole.
Oh, there it goes.
There it goes.
There it goes.
Here it goes.
But I know.
The whole side has collapsed.
The whole building has collapsed.
Our two has had a motor explosion and their complete collapse.
By the lies.
She stands.
Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center.
We will not forget the 2,800 people.
Fear boosted them.
Police and fire.
Not only were heroes at the beginning, but they're still heroes.
We're going to come out of this emotionally stronger.
Those that die.
And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.
I don't think anybody should forget the future of their faith.
By the brave.
Those guys did more than anyone ever expected of them.
In this tree.
They messed with the wrong city.
They messed with the wrong state.
She stands.
And I just don't want people to forget.
When evil calls itself a martyr.
They all had a sense of duty to protect us all.
When all your homes come crashing down.
Be steadfast in our determination.
Someone will fall from above.
The rest of the country now understands who the true defenders are.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers blush you.
We see the flying sword and settle.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
We see the stand.
May the blessings of St. Patrick behold you.
And through that all the fools have fallen.
God bless Ireland and God bless the United States of America.
She stands.
Now America's embracing a new ethic and a new creed.
Let's roll.
Phrase New York's finest and New York's bravest means something now, doesn't it?
This is a time to reflect and be thankful for where we are today.
And through the fight, we will rebuild New York City.
Yet after America was attacked, it was as if our entire country looked into a mirror and saw our better selves.
Before we get to our pollsters, let me play a cut.
Earlier today, President Trump and Kamala and Joe were at ground zero at a 9-11 ceremony, and the crowd started cheering for Donald Trump.
Listen, there
was a widow of a deceased fire chief, Gerard Barber is his name.
His wife, Joanne, you know, called out the Biden administration during the 9-11 ceremony.
Let's listen in on that.
And my brother, TJ Hargrave, who, like all of your loved ones, was taken from us way too soon.
And my husband, FDNY Chief Gerard A. Barbara.
My husband, Jerry, was a Navy veteran and a member of the FDNY for 31 years.
On September 11, 2001, 2,977 innocent people were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.
My husband of 30 years was one of them.
It is outrageous that our government would ever entertain the thought of granting the terrorists a plea deal.
If not for the outcry of the 9-11 community, who knows what might have transpired.
It has been 23 years and the families deserve justice and accountability.
The elected fee officials here today show their respect and reverence to the families on September 11th.
Or in our president's words, June 9-11.
Quite a flippant remark.
But please remember that the September 11th families live it every day, not just on the anniversary.
Sad, our prayers, our thoughts go to the families of all of these victims.
Joining us now for some post-debate analysis are our pollsters, our friends Matt Towery, Insider Advantage, Robert Cahaley, the Trafalgar Group, two of the most accurate pollsters for the 2016-2020 elections.
Welcome both of you back to the program.
Look, we find ourselves in what looks like another nail biter, and it looks like seven states again.
And I do know, having spoken to both of you, that you were both doing some live polling last night in swing states.
Matt Towery?
Yeah, actually, Robert was the head of that one last night.
I can let him talk to it.
will say one thing i i think that debate i thought pollsters were all competitive Well, you guys are actually friends?
Oh, no, we're good friends.
We have a podcast together called Poland Plus, and we actually like each other.
Isn't that amazing?
But anyway, Sean, that debate was not Trump's best debate, but it didn't really move the needle, and Robert can address that.
I want to point out one thing, though.
I think there's one moment that came out from that debate, and you're seeing it in the mainstream media, the liberal media today, because they're trying to dust-bust and clean this up, and that is Springfield, Ohio.
The President Trump said, you know, they're roasting cats and dogs.
And of course, that was apparently debunked by the fact-checkers.
And suddenly, everybody's eyes rolled, and Harris's eyes rolled, and certainly the Glib and very urbane host, their eyes rolled, and they fact-checked.
But the fact is, there is a war going on in that city.
The governor of Ohio has had to send $2.5 million to that city.
They've had to send troopers there to control the Haitian population.
These people have seen a massive increase in their population.
This is not a big city at all.
I think that Donald Trump may have in one moment found a microcosm of everything he is talking about, from government spending to lying about facts to everything he's trying to talk about.
Who cares if he's wrong about dogs and cats?
The most important thing is now Springfield, Ohio could be the lynchpin for the Trump campaign.
You know, I'd see it a little bit differently.
And putting aside that argument, and we had made calls to the police chief and didn't get any confirmation.
We had seen the stories.
But put that aside for a second, the number of Americans whose names I scroll Robert regularly on Hannity the TV show and have mentioned on this radio show, starting with Lake and Riley and Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nunngarry, all of the people murdered,
dozens of Americans, all the dozens of Americans raped by Harris Biden unvetted illegals, all of the other violent crimes that have been committed, all of the unvetted Harris Biden illegals that we know are in the country would terrorize.
That kind of gets lost on a statement, which to me, you know, it just shows where the media's priorities are because they're not covering what has happened to these families and these people.
And Kamala Harris has never picked up a phone and talked to these families.
I've spoken to Lake and Riley's family.
I've spoken to Jocelyn Nungarry's family.
She's never done that, just like she never spoke to the families of the 13 Americans killed in Afghanistan.
That's exactly right.
And one of the things that Trump said that resonated a lot was this idea of you complain about the border and say that nothing's been done.
You can go down there and joke and stop this right now.
All right, quick break more with our pollsters.
Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley on the other side, 800-941.
Sean is a number as we continue.
All right, we continue with our pollsters, Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley.
It's a point that I've been making all day today.
We come out of this having no answer on taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for illegals or convicted felons or fentanyl drug Possession is okay for federal use, decriminalizing crack, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl.
We didn't get an answer the day before 9-11-01, the 23rd anniversary, about somebody that thinks we should never say the word radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien.
We didn't get any answer on late-term abortion, if there's any restrictions at all, because there are none, or the lies she told about mandatory gun buybacks.
She said it numerous times, or decriminalizing illegal immigration and offering on top of the sex change surgery paid for by taxpayers, housing, health care, education, the $93 trillion Green New Deal that she co-sponsored in the U.S. Senate and said she would eliminate the filibuster to pass that would end capitalism.
That didn't come up.
Eliminating private health insurance, government-run health care.
She sponsored that bill, too.
And we didn't get answers to any of this.
I thought one effective thing, Matt Towery, that Trump did is he pointed out: you know, she keeps saying day one, I'm going to fight inflation and immigration.
Why don't we end the debate, go back to Washington, and close the border?
Yes, he did.
And to be honest with you, Sean, what a lot of people are focusing on is he was debating three people in that room, Harris and the two moderators.
They fact-checked Trump seven times.
They didn't fact-check her at all.
And more importantly, it was the questions, and even, and I said this over and over again, the split screen last night was really telling.
The control room has a lot of influence on these debates.
And that split screen, Harris obviously knew she needed to be looking at Trump.
She was peering down at him.
She was being as if she was very officious and not considering what he has to say.
I don't know that that played a little bit or not at all into how people responded in this poll, but I thought the poll would have been much more one-sided, and it wasn't, which means Trump really wasn't hurt.
But I want to say one last thing: all of the issues you just mentioned are things that these PACs and organizations and groups that are raising money in Trump's name need to be raising as ads right now because they've gotten to October and then this thing is baked in the cake.
And I can't understand why in the holy why they cannot get out there and get the issues that you talk about every night on TV and translate those into ads on social media and on TV because that's where the rubber really the rubber meets the road and that's where these races are decided right now and social media ads and others.
And I don't see them and I think that's what Trump needs in order to make sure he pulls this thing off because he was not hurt by that debate.
I just want the American people to be informed.
And this is the most radical candidate in history, Robert K. Haley.
And then there's no question.
And what Matt is saying is, all along, the problem is you have got this establishment groups of people that are taking all these big donors' money and dialing it in with these lackluster ads with stupid actors pretending to be stuff and not using Kamala Harris's exact words, pointing out the flip-flops, pointing out the radical positions and giving them facts.
And, you know, it's just, you almost wonder whether they want him to win.
But there's a lot, I mean, there's a lot of billionaires' dollars being wasted on these people who are dialing it in.
And they have got to take, if they literally just watch your show and look at the things you put on your website and use that information, like what you talked about, the transgender surgeries for the prisoners and illegal aliens.
I mean, put that information out there.
It should not be Trump's job to do all of this all by himself at the debate when he's again debating three people.
Well, I agree.
And the biggest loser by far is ABC Disney, in my view, because they're in the tank.
You know, it was three-on-one.
Everybody knows it was three-on-one, and people are disgusted by it.
And they didn't bring up any of the issues that are so basic and fundamental.
I guarantee you there is long-term damage to their brand in terms of being a news organization as a result of this, but maybe they don't care.
They did hire George Stephanopoulos after all.
Anyway, thank you both.

This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I 25 till the top of the hour.
Here it is, the 23rd anniversary, 9-11-01.
2,977 Americans killed in a single day.
And we're now approaching the one-year anniversary of what would be the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans in a day after the October 7th attacks by radical Islamic terrorists.
And this is why the needs of people of the Holy Land and Israel are so dire and desperate because they're still involved in daily conflicts and taking incoming rockets on a daily basis.
So many Israelis have been displaced.
So many need bare necessities, food and shelter and water and supplies.
And our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they've been on the ground from day one, and they're giving all of us an opportunity to remember these victims and honor the heroes and hopefully help these families out that are in desperate need.
Now, the day before their worst terror attack in their country's history, on October the 6th, thousands of people of all faiths, Christians included, will be praying for those impacted by the war, planting flags across our country here in America to honor the victims of October the 7th.
And we can join all of them in letting them know that we in America stand with Israel against their war against radical Islamic terrorism.
Your generous donation is needed more than ever.
And it will also provide a flag symbolizing your support.
It's going to be in churchyards all across the country.
It will support the fellowship's ongoing emergency efforts in the Holy Land.
You can't stay silent.
You can't stay on the sidelines.
You know, this is simple moral clarity, good versus evil.
Anti-Semitism spreading in the halls of Congress on college campuses worldwide like wildfire.
Anyway, Israel needs all of us.
Go to their website, supportifcj.org, and you can stand in solidarity against radical Islamic terrorists and with the Jewish people at supportifcj.org today.
As I mentioned, the 23rd anniversary of 9-1101.
Those of us that are old enough to remember, my daughter was born only a few weeks before.
She knows about it now, but for most of her life growing up, it's not something I harped on.
I knew in time as she got older, she would learn about it.
And anyway, she is fully aware of it today.
But too many people, like Kamala Harris, who doesn't want us to say radical Islamic terrorism, they have simply forgotten.
Dara Worley.
Americans do not yet have the distance of history, but our responsibility to history is already clear.
To answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.
I hear people say we don't need this war.
We protest this war, and it's not a war, actually, it's a slaughter.
But I say there's some things worth fighting for.
We are very grateful and thankful that we live in a country where there's freedom of speech, that people who are either for or against a war can speak out.
What about our freedom?
Everything has gone black at this piece of ground.
Everything came down.
We didn't get to keep them by backing down.
Glass are parking.
People got hurt.
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Oh, there it goes.
There it goes.
There it goes.
Before you start your preaching, let me ask you this, my friend.
Oh, my God.
The next building is another plane.
Oh, my God.
Another plane just flew it.
The explosion is incredible.
Have you forgotten?
I saw this plane come out of nowhere and just scream right into the side of the Twin Tower, exploding through the other side.
There's been an act of war declared upon America by terrorists.
Have you forgotten?
I can hear you.
The rest of the world hears you.
And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us.
Have you forgotten?
When those tired sky, have you forgotten?
I'm going to die.
Approved.
The dozens of residents that are sitting on the hills behind the Pentagon almost like they're waiting for the 4th of July fireworks, but instead, they're staring dumbfounded at what looks like a war zone.
I mean, you can see bodies flying out of the sky and you can't do nothing about it.
You tell me.
There's no words to describe what's going on out there.
Have you forgotten?
America is a nation full of good fortune with so much to be grateful for, but we are not spared from suffering.
In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom.
They have attacked America because we are freedom's home and defender.
Have you forgotten?
And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.
Our prayers are with all the families, by the way.
I don't know how they go through this every year.
I don't know how they do it.
I really don't.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Don Lake Ron Konkama, welcome aboard, sir.
Glad you're with us.
Always great to hear your voice.
Thank you, Sean, and thank you for taking my call on this solemn day of remembrance, 9-11.
And it was a horrible day for us, and I haven't forgotten.
Regarding the debate last night, Sean, you know, President Trump came out very, very serious in his deliveries because of the seriousness of our times.
You know, he meets with the American people.
He meets and spends times and listens to our ICE border agents.
He meets with and talks to our police and first responders.
And most importantly, Trump is most presidential when he's meeting with the Gold Star families and the victims of illegal crime.
He actually meets and hugs these people.
And I wish he had brought that up, why Kamala Harris refuses to meet with.
I know she can't because she's responsible for it.
But I wish he had brought that up last night.
I thought it would have been a good talking point for him.
Yeah, look, I mean, I think the American people get it.
We just heard from our pollsters, and it doesn't move the needle because I think most people, you know, more, maybe more, I'm realizing more than I think that Americans are coming to grips with her radicalism in spite of a blackout by a corrupt media mob.
That part, I believe, is true too, Don.
And I think that it just is what it is.
This is why we have the Kamala files, the walls files on Hannity.com.
I hope people use their social media accounts.
And I hope people will share it with their friends and their neighbors and their family and their co-workers.
And it's our way of bypassing corrupted news organizations like ABC.
For the New York Times and Reuters to both have similar headlines, pundits said Harris won the debate.
Undecided voters weren't so sure.
That's the New York Times.
Reuters, some undecided voters not convinced by Harris after debate with Trump.
That's very revealing to me.
And I think that because they didn't answer any of the fundamental questions about why she has so radically changed her positions on such fundamental issues.
And I think we got to get to the bottom of that.
Anyway, go ahead.
Last word, Don, go ahead.
Sean, I really expected them to possibly use what you had pointed out on your website, the Kamala soundbites.
I really thought that maybe they would use that.
But I wasn't surprised that they were so clearly biased in neglecting to fact check Kamala last night.
I wasn't surprised.
But I really thought they may have used all the hard work that you and your crew have put out on that on your website.
It was right in the forum.
Yeah, look, it's still available to everybody.
And I hope, you know, we still got plenty of time.
And early voting is just beginning.
And we just have to take it seriously.
And if you have reluctance and resistance to early voting, you got to get over it.
We can't start out Election Day down hundreds of thousands of votes.
There's still going to be a lot that happens between now and Election Day.
We've got to remember that.
Anyway, Don, you're the best.
Appreciate it, my friend.
Good to hear your voice.
Let us get to Diane in the great state of Georgia.
Diane, how are you?
Glad you called.
I am great.
Thank you for taking my call.
I do appreciate it.
And I listen to you every afternoon on my way home.
Oh, thank you.
And I love Linda's accent, by the way.
Linda from New York, but she's really from Philly and she talks funny.
And first of all, let me tell you, you know, what's going on here in Milwaukee.
I love it and the way she says dog.
Dog.
Linda, say dog.
Say dog for Diane.
Dog.
How do you say it, Diane?
Dog.
Are you Diane?
You're not Diane.
Go ahead, Diane.
All right, say dog, Diane, if you don't mind.
I say dog.
Yeah, it's closer to me than it is to you.
I say it's dog.
It's not that.
It doesn't have a dog.
No, it's not a dog.
It's not a dog.
I have a dog.
You actually don't have a dog.
I do have a dog.
It's homage.
It's not homage.
Oh, my.
Homage.
Exactly.
I honestly need to have more arguments with you over words just so I can listen to that guy talk.
That's true.
Anyway, what's on your mind, Diane?
Glad you called.
Anyway, I watched the debate last night.
And yeah, they really let Kamala get away with so much last night.
They didn't even make her answer questions, which really just blew my mind.
And anytime she really didn't want to answer a question straight up, she just turned around and flipped it and started cutting down anything and everything on Trump.
And it just really blew my mind, especially when I got to the part about abortion.
And I'm like.
I actually thought Trump's answer on abortion was very solid.
It goes back to the states.
It's not going to be necessary.
And then she just flat out lied and said that, no, he's going to support a national abortion ban, which he's not going.
You know, a lot of this last night, think about this.
If he was going to do that, he would have done it.
If she was going to do the thing she now says she's going to do, why hasn't she done it?
And everything that she has stated publicly in recent years, all of her radicalism didn't disappear.
And this is where the great fraud comes in.
And this is now, you know, this is where the powerful institutions of the deep state, big tech, and the mob state-run media has an effect, has cinder blocks on the scales of an election.
And I'm sorry, but that's exactly what it is.
But he did repeat himself a little bit too much.
I wish he'd have gotten more on the subject of what he plans to do, like open up our pipelines back up and stop the border and what he plans to do with the economy and really push issues.
I wish he would have hit more points on what he's planning on doing when he's elected.
And I say when he's elected because I plan to vote early as soon as Effingham County opens up their early voting, I plan to be there.
Listen, this is now in the hands of the American people.
There will be other things that happen between now and Election Day, but early voting, I cannot emphasize the importance of it enough.
And I would say to every conservative, every Republican, bank your vote.
Democrats are experts at this.
And this is where they run up the score.
We've got to learn.
It's not the system I want.
I've been very clear about that, Diane.
I'm sure you probably have heard me talk about it.
I won't repeat myself, but we cannot let them run up the score like we have in past elections.
It is a huge mistake.
And then we can, if you win elections, you can change things.
With Hillary and Trump, I voted early, and that was the first time my husband ever voted that I can recall.
And we've been married 36 years was when Hillary and Trump went up against each other.
He voted.
Yeah.
Well, I appreciate the call.
Thank you, Diane.
Love our friends in Georgia.
We have less than a minute lull in Pennsylvania.
Lull, you get the last 50 seconds.
Go, sir.
All right.
Thank you, Sean.
Thank you for what you do.
Thank you.
I just wanted to just express, I'm more worried about the puppeteer than I am the puppet.
And that's how I view Kamala Harris.
I don't think she can think for herself, but I'm more worried about the people pulling the strings behind her, the people hiding her, the people complicit in orchestrating the biggest fraud on the American people.
Yeah, I'm concerned.
I'm concerned about that too.
Yes, and I really think that has to be exposed more.
I know that I'm a Trump voter.
I did before.
I will again.
I do know that I've seen what Trump has done, and I've seen what Harris has done.
And that convinces me in terms of how I would vote.
Early voting in your Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a mere six days away, one week from yesterday.
And I hope people in Pennsylvania, conservatives, Republicans, get out early and vote.
Please listen to me on this.
I'm not wrong.
I wish it's not the system I want.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We have full, complete debate and ABC Disney analysis tonight, 9 Eastern Set U DBR, Hannity, regular time, Fox News channel.
We'll take a look at the polls.
We'll look at the economy.
We'll look at all that should have been brought up that was not brought up.
Victor Davis Hansen will weigh in.
Matt Towery, Robert Cahaley, Charles Payne, Tommy Laron, Charlie Hurd, Horace Cooper.
News, in other words, that you'll never get from ABC Disney and Bob Iger's Network ever.
Anyway, how you liking Disney products these days?
Anyway, that's all coming up tonight.
We'll see you then back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
Jerry Padgett, the second enlisted in the U.S. Navy and deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan while on patrol in Afghanistan.
Jerry was injured by an IED blast.
Now he suffered a spinal cord injury, a traumatic brain injury, and audio and visual impairments.
Now, nothing can reverse the damage that is done to Jerry's body that day.
But through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, we can honor heroes just like Jerry in gratitude for those tremendous sacrifices.
Now, thanks to friends like you, Jerry and his family, they moved into a new smart home at the foundation's Let Us Do Good Village.
It's in Florida, where he can live independently thanks to specially adaptive technologies.
Now, nothing can repay the price of freedom, but your donation, well, it can now change the lives of those who selflessly sacrificed for our communities and our country.
Donate 11 bucks a month to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org.
