Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We're coming to your city.
This business about taking everyone's guns away.
Tim Walz and I are both gun owners.
We're not taking anybody's guns away.
So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.
And just to finish off, she doesn't have a plan.
She copied Biden's plan, and it's like four sentences like run, spot, run.
Four sentences that are just, oh, we'll try and lower taxes.
She doesn't have a plan.
Take a look at her plan.
She doesn't have a plan.
Minus 54 days until the presidential election.
Yeah, we're coming, city, country, south.
Coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Kennedy is on.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I know many of you, every day, sleepless nights, a little anxious, need a little drink to get to Betty Bye.
I get it.
I feel it.
I hear it.
I see it.
I understand it completely.
There's so much at stake in this election.
And that's why we urge everybody to engage and understand where we are at any given point.
And we're just 54 days until Election Day.
We're only five days until early voting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And, you know, we're just still absorbing the impact of what really happened on Tuesday night.
It is fascinating to watch the media reaction to the debate and independent voters' reaction to the debate because there couldn't be a greater disparity.
You know, political pundits and undecided voters are completely at odds about who won the debate in terms of who they're going to vote for.
You know, it's the average American speaking to the New York Times and to Reuters and to CNN and CBS.
You know, we had Harris Faulkner yesterday had a dial session on the Fox News channel and Fox News Digital.
They're all expressing these independent voters that were watching in these very key states, they're all expressing the same exact thing on every single network to every major media organization, and that is reservations about Kamala Harris and some finding themselves in a majority in almost every case of these independents watching this debate, now leaning towards Donald Trump than Kamala Harris.
If you listen to the state-run media mob, it was a slam dunk.
This election is in the can, etc.
And they're finding themselves the people moving in just the opposite direction.
It does show what I've been saying for some time is the trust in the legacy media, what Rush used to affectionately refer to as the drive-by media, is they're just out of touch with most Americans on a majority of these issues.
And I think that they understand that Kamala Harris is becoming radical.
I think something else is happening too.
You know, ever since she became the presumptive nominee, the nominee of the Democratic Party, we have been doing something that actually has been a little frustrating in some ways for me.
And that is we've been playing Kamala and Tim Walz in their own words to point out all of their radicalism.
I mention it almost every day.
I'll mention it at some point in the program today.
I won't do it now.
But everything from mandatory gun buybacks and no fracking and decriminalizing illegal immigration and free housing, healthcare, education, driver's licenses, and every single position.
Now, transition or gender affirming sex surgery for illegal immigrants.
I mean, you just can't make this stuff up.
It's not stuff that I can make up.
In other words, taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for illegals and convicts.
And she apparently, according to one of her spokespeople, is not backing off that position.
And then on top of all of it, then there's amnesty.
Never mind the murders, the dozens that we have chronicled, Harris Biden, the illegals, never mind the rapes, never mind the other victims of violent crime, never mind the known terrorists that have made it into our country, people coming from over 180 countries.
So this is the great mystery here in that is, and frankly, it just reveals how out of touch the corrupt media mob is.
I am just I never go with rumors or innuendo on this program.
I just wait, and I'd rather be last than be wrong.
But the things I'm hearing about this ABC debate, they may get interesting.
May.
I don't know for sure.
And ABC Disney, I told you their credibility was on the line here.
And obviously they didn't listen to me, nor do they care what we the people think.
And I actually pondered, you know, if they consider themselves a news organization, look, I'm a member of the press and I'm a talk show host, but I am a member of the press.
And I don't call myself a journalist because I'm not a journalist.
I'm a talk show host in the media, in the press.
And as a talk show host, I have many roles.
I can produce thousands and thousands of hours of straight news coverage, no opinion at all whatsoever, thousands of hours of investigative reporting that we have done that others in the media don't do, things we've gotten right that they all end up getting wrong.
I mean, time and time again, we were right.
I don't care if it's, you know, Zero Experience Hunter, the Biden laptop.
I don't care if it's the vetting of the radicalism of Barack Obama.
I don't care if it's the Russia hoax.
We got it right.
They got it wrong.
I don't care.
Starting early in my career, Richard Jewell, he lived with his mother.
He fits the profile of the lone bomber.
Well, he wasn't.
Poor guy died at, I think, 46 years of age because of all the stress, I'm sure, related to this.
At least a lawyer believes that.
And anyway, and we were right on what happened in Ferguson, Missouri.
And we were right on what happened in Baltimore.
And we were right on Duke La Crosse.
And we were right on Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
And we were right on, I don't know, UVA.
I can't even name all of the examples where they're wrong and we're right.
We waited on the Jussie Smollett case where, you know, high-tech lynching, Kamala Harris came out and adjudicated the claim almost immediately.
So there is a disconnect between the corrupt state-run media mob and ordinary everyday Americans.
Now, there are people that I think that are influenced by it, but I think those numbers are dwindling.
But, you know, for example, voters have been giving Harris, you know, some people even say Harris won the debate, but they praise Trump on the policies and they're going to be voting on the policies.
That to me is amazing.
You know, ABC, you know, news TikTok account, Trump's closing statement has many more likes and views than video of Harris's opening statement and Harris's response to Trump's criticism of Biden on the war in Ukraine.
Major Garrett at CBS was surprised at how much support Trump has in Michigan.
He details how the 20 Michigan voters that he spoke with were all for Trump and says Trump's support is real and it is resilient.
This is not somebody that is part of MAGA.
Michigan voters are telling Garrett that she's petrified if Trump doesn't win.
This is one of the voters.
Another Michigan voter who cried when Hillary didn't win in 2016 says she's backing Donald Trump in 2024.
Harris, you know, she'll be in North Carolina.
Saw a lot of buses lined up out there outside of the venue she's at.
That'll be interesting.
I guess they decided maybe to give him another parking lot and just decide, well, we'll provide buses to bring you in.
But anyway, James Clyburn, you know, he's kind of like Bernie Sanders over the weekend, Bernie Sanders over the weekend saying, oh, no, well, Kamala's not really changing her position.
She's just being pragmatic and saying what she needs to say to win.
James Clyburn, if Harris does any more interviews, they may drill down on questions until she says something that is harmful.
I mean, is he signaling that she's not going to do another single interview?
You know, Ari Fleischer, according to a new Pew poll, that Harris's support among Jewish voters is the lowest for a Democrat since Dukakis lost in 1988 with only 65% of the vote, which would be a 36-year low for Democrats and Republican gains among African Americans, Hispanics, and Jewish Americans are all very real if you break things down demographically.
We have a lot of issues involving the immigration crisis.
I mean, how many people really know that Kamala Harris, not only are they not vetting over 11 million illegal immigrants, and they've aided and abetted it in lawbreaking, and that she wants to decriminalize it and offer free housing, free health care, free education, legal driver's licenses, even free college in Minnesota.
And on top of that, they're going to have an earned path to citizenship.
That would be called amnesty for people that didn't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty.
And on top of that, taxpayer-funded sex change surgery.
Now, if most Americans know that, do you think that would impact their voting patterns?
Or, and this same survey discovered, nobody's really talked much about it.
If the idea that you can have a federal law and possession of drugs, even hard drugs for personal use, well, that would be the decriminalization of crack, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl.
I mean, that is insane.
And she's even doubled down on her amnesty plan.
New York Times pundits are saying that they believe Harris won the debate, but undecided voters, no, they're not agreeing with the New York Times.
Same thing with Reuters.
Undecided voters are not convinced by Harris after debate with Trump.
New Pew Research poll shows Trump making major inroads, as I said, with Jewish Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans.
I mean, it's too early to tell.
There's a lot that's going to happen.
I mean, early voting is starting, but I do think that slowly, and maybe this audience is partly responsible for this, it is beginning to seep into the consciousness of more Americans all of the extreme, radical, and dangerous policies that she has advocated for in her own words and walls in his own words.
Because the more that people understand it, I am convinced the odds of her ever becoming the president of this country go down and go down dramatically.
And anyway, if you look at social media, the video of Trump's closing statement, 1.3 million likes, 15.8 million views.
Harris's opening statement, only 3.8 million.
I mean, I don't know what to glean from that.
I mean, social media analysis is just, you know, kind of still new.
Justthenews.com polls panels show Trump holding steady.
His pundins name Harris the debate victor.
I mean, they all seem to be saying the same thing.
Back to Major Garrett at CBS.
I talked to 20 voters.
Not one of them was undecided.
Not one of them.
Support for Trump is real.
It is resilient.
And I encountered that everywhere I went.
Asking, how will you feel if Trump doesn't win?
Answer, Michigan voter, petrified.
Former Hillary Clinton voter, Michigan, cried when she didn't win in 2016, backing Trump.
What happened?
I just felt like he did a good job.
I mean, in spite of all the Russia hoax, all the impeachment, all of the nonsense, all of the never-ending criticism, I mean, it's pretty amazing.
James Clyburn, yeah, Harris shouldn't do any more interviews.
They may drill down until she says something that's harmful.
And, you know, now others, by the way, have picked up, and I think it was Miranda Devine that picked up in the New York Post today, the many nasty faces.
It only reinforced the fatal inauthenticity of her debate performance.
And 53 days, and she hasn't done a formal press conference.
She did one interview and spoke for 16 minutes and 29 seconds.
Even people like Jake Tapper is calling out Harris for dodging questions in the debate because she did dodge him left, right, and sideways.
You know, the fact check that didn't take place and the lies that were told.
You know, we've actually, the Federalists came out, they've identified 25 separate lies that Harris told in the debate.
All they want is Donald Trump didn't tell the truth.
Donald Trump, what about Kamala Harris?
I mean, if you go through the list, it's pretty extensive.
You know, claiming, number one, that she's a middle-class kid, which is not exactly true.
You know, Harris's father was a professor at Stanford.
Her mother was a biomedical scientist at UC Berkeley.
You know, not exactly middle class, you know, lying about Trump's tax cuts.
By the way, they kept Trump's tax cuts.
They kept the very regulations that she was criticizing.
She keeps talking about a Trump sales tax that doesn't exist, lying about Project 2025, the only Project 2025, is her radical agenda, that he's going to sign a ban on all abortions.
And no, he's not.
He's never said it.
He said just the opposites, just outright lying about his abortion stance.
Wouldn't answer the question about late-term abortion months 7th, 8th, and 9th.
And by the way, there are states like Minnesota that allow abortion, late-term abortion into the later months.
You know, the idea that she's pushing they want to have term limits for Supreme Court justices, that's a little scary.
Her fracking ban, she said it again and again and again.
You know, the Charlottesville hoax, that's a lie.
Harris denied pretty much that she undertook efforts to bail out these left-wing rioters four days after that police precinct was burned to the ground.
Well, she did put out the tweet.
We do have the date, and she did go on Colbert and said these rioters aren't going to stop and shouldn't stop, and she's not going to stop.
All right, as we roll along, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, you know, Harris, you know, I was the one that, when he said, I'm going to be a dictator on day one, he said, and what are you talking about?
And he went, no, no, no, I'm just going to, you know, put out executive orders for energy independence and securing the border.
25 to the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean is on number.

It's a no-brainer.
That's govgovx.com, govx.com, promo code Sean, savings for those that serve.
I mean, the more and more that comes out, there's just so many lies that were told.
You know, Harris seemingly denying that she undertook these efforts to bail out left-wing rioters four days after the police precinct of Minneapolis.
I love how they always want to talk about January 6th and ignore the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
They never investigated those riots.
Most of these people we had on videotape committing these crimes, you know, pounding cops with bricks, rocks, and bottles of Molotov cocktails, burning down businesses.
You know, we had a couple of dozen dead Americans.
He puts out after the police precinct is burned to the ground, the Minneapolis Police, the Minnesota police, I'm sorry, the Minnesota Bail Fund.
And she literally went out in Minnesota and the criminals responsible for all of this.
He's raising money to get them out of jail.
And then goes on Stephen Colbert.
Oh, they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop.
They shouldn't stop.
This is a movement.
I'm telling you.
They're not going to stop.
And everyone beware because they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up and they should not.
Now, and then, of course, the January 6th, you know, a lot of things that we have since learned, including Nancy Pelosi on tape saying, I should have done more, the fact that Muriel Bowser in writing said she would not accept guard troops.
And the way it works, if the president approves guard troops, it has to be approved by local officials.
Nobody ever wanted to interview Nancy Pelosi, Muriel Bowser, the Capitol Police Chief's son, who wrote a book.
He was begging for guards for National Guard days before because of intelligence that he had.
And originally, he was against it.
And the intelligence said, uh-oh, we may have problems.
And he rightly was seeking the National Guard, and nobody would listen to the guy.
He was the Capitol Police Chief at the time.
He didn't get called in by Liz Cheney and company.
Why didn't Liz Cheney investigate the summer of 2020 and all the riots and insurrections that took place that summer?
It is pretty amazing how selective people can be.
You know, nobody wanted to play in their made-for-Hollywood primetime presentation.
Donald Trump saying many of you will now peacefully and patriotically march to the Capitol so your voices will be heard.
Or the fact that I have, let's see, Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Kash Patel, the acting defense secretary at the time, Miller, all on tape saying that, yeah, they were in the room days before January 6th, or Lester Holt's report on NBC News saying that, in fact, we had actionable intelligence that bad things would happen and nobody had paid attention to it.
Or Harris's claim that, you know, police officers died.
The medical examiner determined that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes, not from the violence perpetrated on January 6th.
And those people that were responsible for violence rightly get arrested, just like the people in the summer of 2020, all should have been arrested.
He can't have this happen.
Or her, you know, moving forward with the Charlottesville hoax that has been debunked again and again and again.
Or Harris regurgitating a false narrative that Donald Trump claimed there would be a bloodbath if he loses.
Obviously taking Trump out of context.
He wasn't calling for violence, discussing the economic disaster that awaits Americans if Democrats win the election.
Or Trump's NATO comments, you know, claiming that he told Russia that they could do whatever the hell they want regarding Ukraine.
No evidence of that in any way, shape, manner, or form.
And was taking, again, Trump out of context in a South Carolina rally during which he recounted a story from when he was president and speaking with a NATO member.
And Trump purportedly indicated that he would withhold U.S. support if the member didn't pay its minimum defense spending obligations.
You didn't pay.
You're a delinquent.
No, I would not protect you.
In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.
You got to pay.
Pay your bills.
And remember, when Germany went forward with that Nord Stream II pipeline deal that Trump put a ban on, doesn't sound like he was too friendly to Vladimir Putin.
And meanwhile, Harris and Biden, you know, the people against fracking and energy and drilling are the ones that killed the Keystone XL pipeline.
We'd be getting 900,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada.
I mean, what the hell are they thinking while simultaneously giving approval for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline?
In Trump's case, he gave a white flag to Angela Merkel because he was telling Merkel, she goes, What's this flag for?
What's this white flag?
Well, that's you're surrendering.
You're basically giving up all economic autonomy and independence to Russia.
And the very one of the major, major reasons that NATO exists is to battle back against the military might of Russia.
If God forbid that happens.
And as it relates to Ukraine, telling Putin whatever the hell he wants, that's never what he said.
Ukraine is not even a member of NATO.
You know, Harris claimed that there's not one member of the U.S. military who's in active duty in a combat zone anywhere around the world for the first time this century.
That just isn't true.
The U.S. has troops in Syria, Iraq, who were routinely attacked by Iranian-backed militias.
Three soldiers killed in Jordan earlier this year, blaming Trump for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
She's the last person in the room with Joe Biden making that decision.
We now learned in the last week, in spite of what our allies were telling them to not do, and that was they told them not to do this, especially as things were getting heated, as the Taliban was on the march because they didn't keep them in check the way Donald Trump did for 18 months in the final days of the Trump administration.
You know, not a single American was killed, not one.
I mean, it's pretty amazing, actually.
But anyway, that's what she said.
She tried to pin the botched Afghanistan withdrawal on Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, when he was president, negotiated one of the weakest deals you can imagine.
What is she talking about?
It's just not true.
A report by House Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said that the evidence proves that Biden's decision to withdraw all U.S. troops was not based on the security situation or advice from his senior national security advisors or our allies.
Rather, it was premised on his long-standing, unyielding opinion that the U.S. should no longer be in Afghanistan.
You know, Harris claims she doesn't support mandatory gun confiscation.
Well, me and Tim Walz, we're gun owners.
That's also fake because, as we said, we just played it for you.
And we'll play it for you again.
You know, I mean, I did this last night on TV.
I think it's worth doing again, is playing some of the flipping and flopping and flailing of Kamala Harris from this debate.
Let's start with the issue of mandatory gun buybacks.
This business about taking everyone's guns away.
Tim Walz and I are both gun owners.
We're not taking anybody's guns away.
So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.
I support buybacks, and I think that we have 5 million assault weapons on the streets of America.
How mandatory is your gun buyback program?
It's mandatory.
Second Amendment.
A second amendment?
Listen, we're going to have to do it the right way.
And then, of course, in this whole thing, you know, what about fact-checking Kamala on fracking?
And by the way, CNN even fact-checked her after she claimed, no, in 2000, I pulled back on my total ban on fracking when, in fact, they had to check and they found out, no, she never did.
And she pulled it again in the debate.
Listen.
Let's talk about fracking because we're here in Pennsylvania.
I made that very clear in 2020.
I will not ban fracking.
I did not ban fracking as Vice President of the United States.
And in fact, I was the tiebreaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking.
Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office?
Adding the United States to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice.
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
Unbelievable.
Then we've got Kamala Harris being fact-checked on private health insurance.
He was very clear with Jake Tapper.
He would ban private health insurance.
Listen to what she said in the debate versus what she said in the past.
Vice President Harris, in 2017, you supported Bernie Sanders' proposal to do away with private insurance and create a government-run health care system.
Two years later, you proposed a plan that included a private insurance option.
What is your plan today?
Well, first of all, I absolutely support, and over the last four years as vice president, private health care options.
You support the Medicare for All bill, I think, initially co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders.
You're also a co-sponsor onto.
I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance.
So for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it.
Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care.
And you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require.
Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?
Let's eliminate all of that.
Let's move on.
Let's eliminate all that.
Let's get rid of all that.
You know, and, you know, I mean, it's one fact check after the other, like on the border, for example.
Listen.
The United States Congress, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, came up with a border security bill, which I supported.
And that bill would have put 1,500 more border agents on the border to help those folks who are working there right now overtime trying to do their job.
I believe if someone crosses over the border, it's illegally, it is illegal, and you would decriminalize it.
I would not make it a crime punishable by jail.
It should be a civil enforcement issue, but not a criminal enforcement issue.
Listen, I think there's no question that we've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing.
And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.
He wants to decriminalize illegal immigration, free housing, health care, education, legal driver's licenses, and Minnesota free college.
Never mind all the dozens and dozens of dead Americans killed by Harris Biden illegals.
Never mind those raped by Harris Biden illegals.
Never mind the known terrorists that are in this country because of their open border policies.
Add to that now taxpayer-funded sex change surgery for illegal immigrants and amnesty or earned path to citizenship, whichever vernacular you prefer to use.
But taxpayer-funded sex change surgery, you want to pay for that for illegal immigrants and convicted felons?
I don't.
Federal drug possession for personal use?
Okay, let's decriminalize crack, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl.
This is insanity.
So, you know, in spite of what she, there's no restrictions at all on abortion, mandatory gun buyback.
She was very clear.
Doesn't want to board a wall.
Everything I just said about immigration.
She's for reparations on tape saying it.
Banning plastic straws, not banning plastic straws now.
What do you believe?
Co-sponsoring the Green New Deal, willing to use or eliminate the filibuster to pass it.
$93 trillion.
That would be the end of capitalism in America, the greatest wealth-creating system of all.
Eliminating private health insurance, government health care for all, again, co-sponsored with Bernie, but no more.
Never mind.
It is so frustrating.
The high cost of energy you've been paying for the last four years, that's the cost of democracy.
But don't say radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien either.
On day one, though, she's going to fight illegal immigration and inflation.
Well, day one just happened to be January 20th, 2021.
Raising taxes, the largest tax increase in American and world history.
Last person in the room on Afghanistan, 13 dead Americans.
Americans abandoned behind enemy lines.
Our allies abandoned behind enemy lines.
Defund, dismantle, reimagine ICE and the police.
Tweeting out the bail fund.
They're not going to stop, won't stop.
18 to 24-year-olds, if you're listening to this program, you are stupid, according to Kamala Harris.
And inflation is transitory.
And she calls it Bidenomics, and she's very proud of it.
And she wants every American to stay woke.
And her running mate, if Donald Trump built a 25-foot wall, wants to build a 30-foot-tall ladder company that they'd manufacture.
It's in feminine hygiene products and boys' bathrooms.
Gender-affirming care.
If you're a parent, you have no say.
This is madness.
Wouldn't call the National Guard during the rioting in his own state, but he did open the windows to their family home so they could smell burning rubber from the rioters.
That's all on the Kamala files and the Walls files on Hannity.com.
All right, here we are.
54 days to go.
Pennsylvania, five days.
Head to the polls.
Bank your vote.
Vote by mail.
Vote early.
Don't wait till the last minute.
