This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
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, uh, we are loaded up and we are only 49 days till election day.
Early voting starts today in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
I know it is not the system that many conservatives, Republicans want.
It's the one we're stuck with.
And everybody knows the system I want.
You'd have to prove have proof of citizenship, voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers watching the voting all day in every precinct across the country, and and the vote counting immediately thereafter when the polls call close.
End of sentence, except for the military, and well, even for the military, that have mail and ballots, but uh the same thing would go for you know, the infirmed elderly people that needed it for whatever specific reason, I'd make election day a national holiday.
That is not the law.
That is not the system we have.
It's if you want to change the system, you have to win elections.
And if you if you don't bank your vote, you may not be able to vote on election day for whatever reason.
We saw that unfold in my old district in New York when I lived in New York.
George Santos was out.
They had a special election.
The day of that election, it was sleet and snow and miserable weather, and it kept a lot of people from going to the polls.
It gave a huge advantage from Democrats that had already banked their vote.
So my advice is embrace it.
It is it is something that we can change if we win elections.
If you start out election day down hundreds of thousands of votes, it is an uphill battle from the very beginning.
Not a good idea.
Yeah, we'll respond to the lunatic.
Some some lunatics on social media.
Hannity's with the CIA.
Did you see him?
He was with Gavin Newsom.
You know what happened with Gavin Newsom, by the way?
All right, are you guys done in there?
Listen, that's your new theme song.
You know, it's not my new theme song.
Beautiful man.
So we were at the same time.
Yeah, thank you.
Gotta got it, Roger Roger Double Double.
Uh-huh.
Thank you.
Uh Roger Roger Double Double, whatever that means.
And so uh anyway, so we're at the uh where were we at?
I guess we're at the debate.
And so there's a gaggle going on, and I sneak in his team that I knew from doing my interview with him and challenging him on all the failures of California, and then Ron DeSantis and the debate that they had, which he wasn't too happy with.
Uh, you know, he's got everyone in the media in front of him, and I sneak up behind them, and his staff is there, and I said, you know, I'm gonna tap a show.
I'm gonna say, hi, remember me?
He's smiling at Gavin.
They're best friends.
No, not exactly.
I think his ideas, uh ideas are insane.
And you know, it's funny, it reminds me back in twenty what, fifteen and sixteen.
Remember when I supported Trump before so many others did, and the the brutal criticism I got uh that I was not a real conservative and and so on and so forth, and and even people that I've I've you know happen to like.
I think they're very talented, like Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro were just brutalizing me every day, but I stay true to who I am, and I stand by the principles that are near and dear to me.
And the idea, and I don't think there's been anyone more critical of the deep state that has exposed all of the failures going back to Hillary Clinton's dirty Russian disinformation dossier, her top secret classified information on her server, uh the deleted emails, bleach pit, hammers, devices, sim cards uh in 2020.
I don't think there's been anybody more critical of the fact that there was the pre-bunking of the Hunter Biden laptop.
That was done by the deep state, the FBI knew it was verified and true in March of 2020, and yet they were meeting with big tech in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, putting their cinder blocks on the scale of an election by pre-bunking the very real laptop, the one they verified to be real, the fifty-one former Intel officials.
No one's been more critical of that.
Nobody exposed the Russia hoax more than we did and our ensemble cast that included John Solomon, Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett at the time, Catherine Heridge, and so many others.
I can't mention everybody's name.
And uh, and that has gone out there and and we we ended up being proven right on the Russia hoax.
So many others were proven wrong.
And, you know, it's like, and then these these keyboard warriors in their underwear in their basement, you know, some of them with a microphone, say something insane about me, and it's like, oh, that'll go viral.
I'm like, you know, I just I you know, I nearly lost somebody that I have been dear friends with for nearly 30 years.
And if you don't think that this is uh particularly hard for anybody to go through, then you're obviously somebody that is soulless, don't have a conscience, and don't understand human emotions on any level, and your emotional IQ is zero.
And between this and the earlier assassination attempt, this has not been easy on anybody that is friends with President Trump and his family.
And I happen to be close to all of them.
And the idea that people would say hateful things, I guess is just par for the course.
We'll deal with it later in the show, but nothing surprises me anymore.
What is so troubling in all of this is the area around holes four, five, and six at Trump International.
It is known to be a vulnerable area where paparazzi would often hide and take videos of President Trump and his guests playing golf.
I've never played the course.
I don't think I've played a round of golf in over five, six years.
I just I've I've gone at the range maybe two or three times and realize I can't play like I used to, which sucks because I used to enjoy play.
I just don't have time.
And if I had the time, I would love to play.
And, you know, the fact that you get invited, it's great, but when you know you're terrible and you're going to play with very good people, it's not something you want to do.
Well, there's read something into that.
I was not invited to play until I until that morning.
Uh it's just uh people are crazy.
But what's sad is is that they knew this to be a vulnerable area.
The area should have been swept.
It should have been swept by the Secret Service.
The idea that that whole wooden area was not swept with such close proximity to where the president will be will be allowed to would be assassin to get within 300 plus yards of the president.
Now, this is just, you know, uh in two months we've had two assassination attempts, 130 yards in Butler, 300 plus yards here in West Palm Beach, and this can't happen.
This cannot happen.
And this vantage point was no secret in terms of its vulnerability, because that has been a vantage point for photographers and and people taking videos of the former president.
Nobody checked or patrolled that perimeter.
That is a failure.
I know the Secret Service director, Ronald Rowe, was out there yesterday saying the security plan worked.
The security plan did not work if somebody got within 300 plus yards of President Trump and candidate Trump, you know, 50 days out of an election that close to him with a scoped AK-47.
No, that did not work.
And the Secret Service chief claims not to have any information on whether the suspect knew that well, they're telling us, because that if you look at the front page of the New York Post, now they're telling us, and we did have this yesterday, it had broken while we were on the show at some point during the short during yesterday's show, that the guy apparently was lying in wait for some twelve hours.
They had his phone pinged at about 1.30 in the morning.
This is extraordinarily dangerous for our country and for the president.
And the fact that they allowed this to happen when you actually look at the map and it's close to set Congress Avenue.
I mean, it's on and you have a tree line, you have a street, a tree line, and a fence.
And then you have the golf holes.
And then you have this guy literally, you know, the gunman's spot is right where hole six is.
They have if it wasn't for one agent, it was they they should have had agents checking the bushes all the way around that perimeter the whole time.
They didn't clear, they did not secure the area.
They did not have people watching to make sure nobody went into the bushes, and the guy has an AK-47 in the bushes with a scope on it.
That to me is unforgivable.
And so the suspect lurked in a known vulnerable area of this golf course, the most vulnerable area of the golf course.
And it is frankly, considering that one agent spotted the barrel of this gun is is almost miraculous.
It really is.
And the more we learn about this, you know, we what are they going to do now?
And the worst part of all of it is that the campaign, and I know this from my sources in the camp, but they have been asking for more secret service protection, and they haven't been getting it.
The suspect was already Ryan Ruth was a was on the FBI's radar, previously the subject to a 2919 tip to the FBI.
A special agent in charge of the Miami field office said in a follow-up on the tip the alleged complaint was interviewed, did not verify providing the initial information.
The FBI passed that information to local law enforcement in Honolulu.
Well, they got to take all these threats seriously.
And this is on the day where Josh Hawley, you know, dropped a whistleblower report on all of the failures of the Secret Service and the DHS in this first assassination attempt in Butler.
How did that would be assassin get within 130 yards of the president?
And then we were told, well, that we had a sloped roof problem, and it turns out the roof was nearly flat for crying out loud.
And now in the report they're saying, well, nobody was on the roof because it was too hot.
And as somebody that used to do roofing, I promise you I didn't get out of a day's work because the roof was too hot.
But the assassin's vantage point was not a secret in terms of vulnerability.
This is the tree line of Trump International and West Palm.
A North Carolina neighbor of this assassin because people were afraid of him.
Somebody even claimed that he had a horse in his house.
What the who the hell would put a horse in their house?
But he also had a paper trail of pro-Ukrainian advocacy trying to get Afghanistan veterans to sign up and go to Ukraine.
He's a big Biden supporter and Harris supporter, and he's a big Trump hater.
That's what we know about this guy.
And you know, and and the question is, how can this happen again?
And it can't happen again either.
You know, the the one former FBI agent was on fake news CNN saying the verbiage about Trump being a dictator on MSDNC, they had somebody comparing him to Adolf Hitler last night.
And then you had Joyless Behar over at the View, you have Joyless Reed over at MSDNC saying, Oh, this is a MAGA concern.
No, it was a Kamala Harris, Joe Biden supporter.
Anyone remember Kamala Harris joking about killing Donald Trump when she was on with Ellen DeGeneres?
You know, that does one of them have to come out alive when talking about Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, or President Trump.
If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?
Does one of us have to come out alive?
There's the laugh.
You know, our giggling vice president.
Did this guy act alone?
We don't we don't have an answer to that question.
You know, he had wrote that he had written that he'd be willing to volunteer and die and assist Ukrainian troops on the front lines.
You know, how did this guy know where to lie in wait?
And how is it possible he was in the shrubbery for nearly 12 hours and nobody nobody knew about this?
And how did he come into possession of a firearm would be another question.
What was his motive is another question.
You know, a neighbor says this was on Fox News.com that he was weird and kept a horse in the house.
Anyone ever see a horse go to the bathroom?
Who the hell would put a horse in the house?
But anyway, it's uh a lot of other questions that we have that are unanswered, but they're just claiming victory and the and saying that the plan worked when the plan didn't work.
It's almost like we've normalized what our assassination attempts in this country, and that can happen, and that can continue.
And this guy is uh donated nineteen times to Democrats.
And by the way, the suspect is a felon barred from gun uh from gun possession.
And thank God Governor Ron DeSantis has launched an independent state investigation into this assassination attempt, saying he doesn't trust the Biden DOJ.
He said it's not in the best interest of our state or in the our nation to have the same federal agencies that are seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading the investigation.
And as usual, DeSantis is right, and he had a lot of concern about the neutrality of the government.
I share that that concern.
800, 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Eric Trump will be on the program today.
Donald Trump will be on Hannity tonight, nine Eastern.
By the way, Ramp Paul went on a tear.
Let's listen to what he had to say.
And the only other thing I'd say is that networks like CNN, like MSNBC, need to quit the fear mongering and quit quit saying, oh, Donald Trump's going to be the end of the republic.
There'll be no more voting if Donald Trump wins.
That kind of rhetoric is ginning up the crazies in our country.
And I would ask CNN and MSNBC and anybody who else is saying this, y'all need to quiet down.
He quit saying stuff like that.
Like Donald Trump is Hitler.
Donald Trump is ending democracy.
We are part of the problem.
You're exciting to say that you wouldn't have to vote again.
That was President Trump that said that.
But sir, do you think that they Donald Trump has not said that we're going to end democracy and have no more voting?
If you say that, you are inciting the people.
So don't be dishonest and don't lie about it.
But when you say Donald Trump's going to end democracy, you're part of the problem.
I've never said that.
I'm saying that.
Anybody who's saying that on TV, anybody who's comparing him to Hitler, anybody who's saying he's going to end the Russia.
It's happening all the time on all your networks.
You're ginning these people up, and the death threats are going to continue to happen.
Do you think there should be more funding for the Secret Service?
I I mean the media is so clueless.
They have no idea, and that has been their talking point from the very beginning.
I mean, over at MSDNC last night, I guess, you know, Hillary Clinton was brought.
He's a danger to our country and to the world.
Well, what is that telling crazy people that, you know, if he's dangerous uh to the country and to the world?
What does that mean?
On with the the liar, conspiracy theorist and chief, Rachel Maddow.
And it's pretty amazing.
And that wasn't the only thing that was said last night.
Hillary then calls for the prosecution of Americans who use Russian talking points.
I assume this is, you know, based on the DOJ indictment that apparently that some people, if if you say the economy has been horrible, inflation has been horrible.
You know, they're accusing people, influencers, of saying that because Russia paid them.
Well, I don't know if Russia paid them or not.
I have no earthly idea, but what they s what they're saying based on what it was in the indictment is true.
You know, anybody with a brain knows that Vladimir Putin is evil and and that you know what he did to Ukraine and killing innocent men, women, and children, and invading a sovereign country is evil, but he did it under Harris and Biden's watch.
Anyway, we're learning more about the assassin and the suspected Trump assassin was flagged by the U.S. during a return from Ukraine.
Uh but Homeland Security, who was praised by the head of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe yesterday, Mayorcus in particular.
Uh they didn't do a darn thing as it relates to all the signs that we had about him ahead of time.
John Solomon, founder, editor in chief, investigative reporter, Justin News.com broke the story.
Uh, what have we learned about this lunatic Ruth?
Yeah, listen, uh, he's in Ukraine.
He's uh having conversations allegedly with foreigner foreign fighters in countries that are on our radar, like Afghanistan, like Taiwan, uh, and he's trying to get them to come to Ukraine and fight for Ukraine.
He comes back uh through to the United States in June of 2023.
He goes to the Honolul Airport because he lives in Hawaii, and uh customs and border flags him.
They don't like the convers the things we're hearing from him in his initial conversation.
They do a more extensive interview, even though he's an American returning home.
Uh that in that interview, he makes some very important spontaneous uh admissions that he had um been recruiting as many as 100 foreign fighters from Taiwan, Afghanistan, and Moldova to join Ukraine's war.
He also had contact, he told the FBI with people in Syria, Pakistan, and Israel.
Those are all warning signs when a guy's playing on the foreign uh fighter field and he's having contacts with both allies and potential enemies.
So they recommend that he be investigated by the Homeland Security Department, the the the uh uh the Homeland Security Department's equivalent of the FBI is called the HSI, the Homeland Security Investigations Unit.
Uh and HSI declines to investigate him to engage this man to have some conversation with him.
This is about a year and uh two months before he is allegedly trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
He's talking to people in Afghanistan.
He's talking uh he's on the battlefield in Ukraine according to his own admission, and somehow the Homeland Security Department couldn't find a reason to want to interview him, just like the FBI couldn't find a reason in 29 to interview him, even though they got a tip he was in possession of weapons as a convicted felon and specifically a convicted felon who had previously used or tried to use a weapon of mass destruction, a uh machine gun.
So you got at least two instances where federal agencies get tipped off about disguise in both places, they don't engage the man, and let's add two more in there.
Twice, a nurse who was volunteering in Ukraine, helping patients who are wounded during the war.
She goes to federal agencies, the FBI and the Customs and Border Protection Agency also raises concerns about Ryan Ruth and his conduct and his statements and his behavior in Ukraine.
Those also don't appear to have resulted in any follow-up.
Four opportunities to engage this guy long before he's thinking about sticking the barrel of a gun on a golf course and maybe shooting President former President Trump.
So that's what these records have.
We've seen all the records.
We have the government's official records on this, we have the interview notes.
Um this is uh a story that I think is going to raise a lot of questions about another missed opportunity to maybe stop or or get this man help or arrest him for what he was doing.
I don't know, John Solomon, why the area, the wooded area that they knew was a vulnerability on this golf course was not swept in the lead up to the president when he started when he was when he's was going to go out there and play golf.
That would seem to be so fundamental and basic.
And we now have two assassination attempts, one from 130 yards away and 300 plus yards away in this particular case.
And but for one agent just being lucky, in my view, spotting the the barrel of this gun, they never swept the area, the tree-liden area where all the paparazzi hang out to give videos and pictures of Trump playing golf.
How is it possible this guy?
Now we're hearing he was he was there for eleven or twelve hours ahead of time.
And this is the new and approved Secret Service after July 13th.
Listen, nothing about the Secret Service's security posture makes sense to any expert I've talked to.
And by the way, I started talking to people three, four or five days before this most recent episode, because I continue to hear that people look at the security posture, particularly outdoors, and say, I'm not seeing what I should see there.
They didn't see drones.
They didn't see cameras, temporary camera setup.
If there if a heat uh detecting uh camera drone had been flown, they would have seen that guy in the woods.
Had they used a dog, the dog would have picked up the man sent or uh uh alerted on the man.
Uh they still had a very light posture uh for securing a very large area that is known to have vulnerabilities.
That spot on the six-hole there was known to be vulnerable.
So uh it just it's a head scratching, and it it's clearly an issue of leadership in the Secret Service.
It isn't the agents on the ground.
Thank God that agent did it.
Now I'm gonna tell you something amazing.
Those those agents on the ground were unbelievable.
They were.
They deserve all the credit.
They stopped the national traffic.
But the fact that but the fact that they didn't sweep the area is unconscionable.
It is.
And let me tell you about something else.
Eli Crane, former Navy SEAL, trained killer.
He did it for our country.
He said that uh this gentleman made two mistakes.
That a professional hired by Iran or uh another foreign power would not have made.
Uh a real sniper doing an attack like that would cut a hole in the fence before so that the barrel would never protrude and be visible, and he wouldn't have put up the ceramic plates in white, which would be visible in the sun, he would have colored them with green.
And what the point he's making is uh I uh more trained assassin than the two people that we had, a kid who didn't seem to be a very good shot, or this gentleman here would have most likely succeeded at this because of the fact that there was no sweep.
That ought to concern all of us.
A Navy CEA who knows how this is done, telling us it would have been easy for a pro to get through because there was no sweep.
All right, John Solomon, just the news.com.
Thank you for that report.
You know, if you look on, you know, social media, all these anonymous people, as I say in their underwear, you know, hiding in their basement, you know, that love to attack conservatives and come up with their conspiracy theories.
They're so bizarre.
Is one Facebook page, a left wing page called the other ninety uh eight percent.
And if you look at the memes, they're celebrating this assassination attempt.
They're celebrating it.
And, you know, they had one picture, for example, of President Trump with not only with his ear covered, but his entire body bandaged, meaning that he'd be dead.
It is as sick as it can be.
You know, uh why isn't that considered hate speech?
Hillary Clinton didn't mention that with conspiracy theorist Matt Al.
You know, since the assassination attempt, Corine uh Hakeem Jeffries, we must stop Trump.
What does that mean?
Why would you say that after this what happened on Sunday?
No ears were harmed.
Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.
Rachel Vinman, I guess she's associated with that guy involved in the Ukraine case, uh, what was his name, Colonel Vinman or Alexander of something, Vinman?
And had to take that down.
You know, this seems to be a confluence of two very bad things in the Republican Party.
The attempts to divide and enrage the population.
This is a Congresswoman, you know, Mickey Sherrill from New Jersey.
The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil, but here we are, said Congressman Stephen Woodrow, Colorado.
Today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasing fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail, and Trump and his running mate continue to make baseless claims.
Lester Holt said that.
That's MBC News.
By the way, I hear that the numbers on ABC World News tonight are tanking.
Post debate, ABC Disney's uh uh and I warned the conservatives are just gonna have it had it with Disney.
I know I have.
That's what I don't call for boycotts.
You know, at MS DNC, do you do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to tone it down?
He was the one that was shot.
Are you really that stupid?
Washington Post called this, another chance for Trump to frame Democrats is as dangerous has emerged.
You know, it's Bill Kristol, Vance's inciting of potential violence with lies.
This is after the assassination attempt on again on Trump.
NBC News called it a golf course incident.
Is that what you call an assassination attempt?
Or Bloomberg, Trump seizing on assassination attempt with the Cincinnati Inquirer, the former president Donald Trump brings a lot of this stuff on himself.
You gotta be kidding.
Trump is a threat to democracy and saying so is not incitement.
New York magazine.
David Frum, Trump and his running mate, have spent the the past week successfully inciting violence.
What, against themselves?
How out of touch are these people?
It's really sick.
Over at MSDNC, they have a guest saying that Donald Trump is exactly like Hitler.
Wow.
What world are we living in here?
You know, did you have Joy Reed oh saying, you know, both would be assassins or white American Trump supporting men?
Does anybody ever give any real news to the people on air at MSDNZ?
They're obviously, you know, not quite informed.
And here we are, 49 days from election day.
Early voting begins in Pennsylvania today.
Pennsylvania, this country needs you.
I have no other way to put it.
Pennsylvania's court, by the way, threw out a ruling requiring misdated ballots to count.
One win for integrity.
Haven't had enough of them.
And um anyway, the this this error is a regrettable.
Hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote by Oregon's Department of Motor Vehicles.
Oh, just uh just excuse us, sorry about that part.
What do you think would happen if you have legal driver's licenses?
What, Linda?
What are you saying in my ear?
We have a great exchange between Ducey and KJP today that kind of fits in with what you were talking about.
No, let's listen.
Thank you, Corin.
It's been only two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again.
And you're here at the podium in the White House briefing room calling him a threat.
How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and the vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump other than threat.
All right, thanks everybody.
See you tomorrow.
How do you feel?
Wow.
That's gross.
That's really gross.
That is just disgusting.
It is despicable.
I don't listen.
I've known Donald Trump outside of my work, what my the work that I do.
He's going to be on TV with me tonight describing what he went through.
He's a friend of mine.
Been a friend of mine for a long time.
I wish people knew the person that I knew privately with the sense of humor, the generosity, the kindness to others.
Nobody wants to know that part of him.
And it's sort of like they've so demonized him, you know, and created such a phony false lying caricature that maybe they believe, you know, that the like doing the will of God.
You know, it's unbelievable.
It is, it is just, we're living in very strange times.
Hillary can go fan the flames against Trump.
You know, the pr the and saying I don't understand how difficult it is for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Donald Trump is on MBC News.
And that they're okay with that?
Nobody, nobody's asking why didn't they secure this perimeter?
Right, with which they knew was a vulnerable point on this golf course.
Nobody wants to go into that aspect of things.
The only thing that can stop it is you.
I can't do it by myself.
We have the Kamala files, the wall files.
We have information about how to register and vote on Hannity.com when early voting starts in your state, your Commonwealth, Pennsylvania today.
Just go to Hannity.com.
It's all free.
But the only way to get this country on the right road is to make sure that these radicals that have been hiding for nearly 60 days now, that everybody knows how radical, extreme they are in their views in their own words.
Kamala Harris, now the joke comes back that she would kill Donald Trump is stuck in an elevator.
Very funny.
Imagine if Donald Trump said that.
Never mind soaring inflation, wide open borders, murder, rape, violent crimes, all these things happening.
You know, anybody care?
The energy cost, the high price of democracy.
Anyway, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
