This is an iHeart Podcast.
And thank you, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It's 800, 941 Sean, if you'd like to join us.
We'd love to have you be a part of the program.
Well, coming up later on, we have gun owner Kamala Harris saying she'd shoot first and ask questions later.
But meanwhile, she wants a mandatory gun buyback and a government that can walk into your house and make sure that uh your gun is is properly stored and secure.
Uh that is not the second amendment.
And then, you know, you know, there's something that I've been saying about Democrats for a long time, and I think this was on full display last night as Kamala Harris had her big Oprah moment and sit down with Julia Roberts and Chris Rock and Ben Stiller and all these celebrities.
You know, I'm just going to be honest.
It just it is everything, it proves everything that I have said about what this modern left-wing radicalized democratic socialist Marxist party has become.
They are the party of coastal elites.
What does that mean?
They're the party of Hollywood.
They're the party of the DC Swamp.
They're the party of the New York uh snobby elitist crowd.
I don't even know who these people are in New York that are part of that crowd.
I've never been invited in those circles, never had any desire to be in those circles.
You know, I hang out I I always hung out with you know my buddies that like to fish.
And my, you know, does you think Keith Kowalski likes to fish uh uh Linda?
That guy's in he goes, he's up at four o'clock in the middle of the house.
Keith Koloski loves to fish.
I think that's uh that's what he loves to do is fish and send me pictures of I call another striped bass.
It's only a 40-pounder.
And he goes, I I I caught it near your old house.
I'm like, gee, uh, I'm sorry I missed it.
Um they're now catching tuna off the coast of Long Island.
Can you believe that?
How crazy is that?
O'Reilly caught two of them, bluefin tuna.
Two big ones, like 140 pounds.
That's actually crazy.
Wild.
It's totally crazy.
By the way, Bill O'Reilly fisherman does not exactly fit in my mind.
Is that but I know he was I know he's taking his son out or as is one of his urchins as he refers to his own children.
I took the urchin out fishing.
Um I don't know how this election is gonna go.
And I know that it is the question that I get asked most often.
Am I concerned when I look at at the fact that we're now what, forty-six days out of an election?
Early voting is is now beginning in in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and you know, ballots are being sent out in Wisconsin and around the rest of the country.
We've talked at length about about Pennsylvania.
And most people don't know about Kamala Harris.
We have played her repeatedly in her own words.
We have we have gone over her radicalized record.
Certainly Oprah wasn't gonna ask the tough questions.
We know that.
But, you know, she's never explained, you know, why she has no restrictions on late term abortion, month seven, eight, and nine.
She's never explained Miss, I'm gonna shoot first and ask questions later.
Uh uh gun packing, you know, Kamala now, you know, why she wanted a mandatory gun buyback and feels the government should have a right to walk into your house and inspect your guns.
Uh she's never explained, you know, her position.
She just mocked Donald Trump.
He wants a border wall because he thinks a bunch of terrorists are gonna invade the country.
Well, under her watches, borders are.
Uh we have hundreds of terrorists from, you know, cunt with with countries from terror with countries with terror ties that have entered this country under their watch.
And I'm certain that I'm right, but I do pray to God that I'm wrong that there's gonna be another attack on this homeland, and she will have more blood on her hands.
You notice they never talk about I mean the they want to talk about Springfield, Ohio, and you know, this this stupid argument about cats and dogs when we have dozens and dozens of dead Americans murdered by Harris and Biden illegals, and dozens of of women and children that have been raped by Harris Biden illegals and and hundreds of Americans that have been victims of violent crimes by Harris Biden illegals.
They don't want to talk about the cost of it.
They don't want to talk about the radical views that she has with not only no border wall that she mocked and made fun of, but decriminalizing illegal immigration.
This has now become the biggest national security threat in our history, and all of it was preventable.
And now we learn from this guy Heidke, who's the head of the San Diego sector.
We played him on radio yesterday.
We had him on TV last night at the Harris Biden administration of purposely telling this guy to lie about and hide illegal immigrants to transport them in the dark of night and to just lie about how many encounters that they were having because they knew the problem was real.
But meanwhile, everybody in the administration was out there flat out lying to you and and all of us and telling you that the borders are secure and the borders are closed.
It's anything but.
But her real views is to decriminalize the illegal immigration and to offer free housing, health care, education, legal driver's licenses, walls, her running mate wants free college education paid for for illegal immigrants.
We know Kamala is on record as saying that you, the taxpayers, should fund sex change surgeries for illegals and for convicted felons.
And all of these questions she never has to answer a single question on.
I mean, it is mind-numbing that she's likely now going to get through an entire campaign and not have to answer for any of this.
And now she's offering a path to amnesty or an earned path to citizenship, if you want to quote her, and she doesn't have to answer any questions about it, or her support for reparations.
Where's the money going to come from and who's going to be eligible?
How about a couple of simple questions?
We'll start there.
Her support for what is the largest tax increase in the history of the world and the history of America, too?
You know, how do you afford a $93 trillion dollar Green New Deal that she sponsored with Bernie Sanders and the U.S. Senate and that she would eliminate the filibuster to pass this thing and shove it down America's throat, which would be the end of capitalism as we know it.
Or the fact that she sponsored with Bernie, government health care for all and called for the elimination of all private health insurance, so much for the Freedom and Joy Party.
He seems not to care a lick about the high cost of electricity and energy in your life.
He calls it the cost of democracy.
How is it she's never had to explain why she thinks it's courageous not to say radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien?
How is it she's claiming, yeah, the economy's not as good as we thought, but I'm going to fix it on day one when day one was January 20th, 2021.
And then she lied and just said the economy, we call it Bidenomics, and we're very proud of it.
Raise corporate taxes, which gets passed on to you, raise a wealth tax.
Well, that's money that's already been attack been taxed.
Double the capital gains tax.
You know what?
Doubling the capital gains tax will do, it'll end investment in America.
John Paulson said if her if her if her stated plans are ever implemented, he's going to cash and gold, and he's getting out of all investments, real estate, the market, all of it.
Then she wants to tax unrealized capital gains.
How does that math works?
That would equal a depression.
Defund, dismantle, reimagine ICE and the police.
He's never been held accountable for her, you know, nearly, you know, for her support of a veil fund in Minnesota after the burning down of the Minneapolis police precinct four days earlier.
We had nearly 600 riots in the summer of 2020.
She says those rioters aren't going to stop.
They shouldn't stop.
They won't stop.
I'm not going to stop.
Never held the cat.
It sounds like insurrection.
I guess Liz Cheney is now supporting officially an insurrectionist and a Marxist for president who is perfectly comfortable being the last person in the room with the idiotic decision to leave Afghanistan the way they did and abandoning Americans behind enemy lines and all of our allies behind enemy lines, many of whom have been killed because they also left a computer uh file with all their names on it.
18 to 24 year olds, really.
You like you like Taylor Swift.
By the way, I don't care who Taylor Swift supports.
Apparently she's got a much lower approval rating than Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, which I found pretty humorous.
I don't, you know, I I think these, I think all of these celebrity events that Kamala does is all hurting her.
And I think all of these endorsements hurt her because it just reinforces.
Look at the one that mattered.
The Teamsters, 60% support Trump, and 30% support Kamala Harris.
Rank and file workers know that they're going to be better off under Trump policies.
They're voting with their pocketbooks.
They don't give a, they don't give a rip if you have an R in front of your name or a D in front of your name.
They're voting on their life and their livelihood and their career, and her EV mandates aren't going to help them.
You know, her woke policies, you know, she tells Americans to stay woke.
That's not going to help them.
You know, she thinks a 70 to 80% tax rate is great.
Let me tell you what rich people are going to do.
They're not going to go to Florida.
They're going to move here.
They're not going to move to North or South Carolina or Texas.
They're going to move out of the country.
And they're going to take their money with them and go to a more tax-friendly country that's that's going to uh support investment and not work against investment.
And that's where we are.
Now, it I don't I don't know how to interpret the polls.
I don't want to, I can only tell you certain things that I'm seeing and trends that I'm seeing and read into that.
You know, for example, if you look at six of the seven, you know, swing states that we keep paying attention to.
There's some interesting data that I've come upon.
If you look at Michigan, for example, at this point in 2020, Biden was leading Trump by nearly eight points.
This year, Harris is leading Trump by 1.8, according to the real clear politics national average, well within the margin of error.
Harris did poll better Biden this year, but I'm going back four years ago.
Biden was leading Trump by 7.9% in the polling in 2020, heading into election day.
He only won the state by 2.8%.
Okay, well, that's that's what?
Uh six points below where he was polling.
This year's Harris is 5% behind Biden at this point in the race.
In Arizona, similar trend.
Biden led Trump by an average of 4.8% compared to Trump's lead of a percentage point now.
And, you know, Trump is up nearly 6% compared to his 2020 average.
Now, if you look, Biden led the poll led in in Arizona by 2.6% on election day, a one by 11,000 votes in Arizona or 0.3%.
In Georgia in 2020, Biden began leading on October 1st.
He was 1.2 percentage points ahead of Trump.
And again, the winning difference was 11,000 votes or 0.2%.
And in Nevada, while Harris is ahead of Trump by 0.5%, it is still 5% less than Biden's lead at the same point in 2020.
In 2020, Biden was up by 5.3%.
He only won by half that, 2.4%, less than half of that.
In North Carolina, and by the way, I'll say to everybody in North Carolina, you know, Donald Trump is not the gubernatorial candidate.
Donald Trump is running his own race in North Carolina, regardless of what controversies are swirling around the Republican gubernatorial candidate.
And nobody knew any of these allegations ever existed against the lieutenant governor, including yours truly.
But anyway, North Carolina's pretty interesting because Trump outperformed the polls in both four years ago and eight years ago, winning the state twice.
It's a must-win state for Donald Trump.
And he can't be tarnished by other candidates that may be on the ballot.
In Pennsylvania, Harris is polling a little uh uh three points behind where Biden was.
It's almost the dead even state, but Biden at this point in 2020 was up by 4.8%.
On election day, Biden was up 5%.
He only won by 1.2%.
You see how these in Wisconsin at this point in 2020, Biden was leading by 6.7%.
On election day, he was winning by 8.4%.
He won by 0.8%.
You see how these polls are they they try to suppress voting.
So I'm just telling you to keep in mind the history here.
It does give me a lot of hope.
That's for sure.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour this Friday, 800, 941 Sean, only 46 days till election day, early voting starting now all over the country.
Virginia now moving into Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and very quickly around the country.

That is GovX.com.
Um let me just tell you something that maybe a lot of people right now are not paying a whole lot of attention to, but I think is worth paying attention to.
And it's something that I think is very, very important.
And it has to do with a topic you wouldn't expect we'd be maybe discussing at this point, 46 days out of an election, but it's happening in the state of Nebraska, and GOP lawmakers out there are pushing for major changes to the way that the state allocates the electoral college votes.
Now, the way it works currently in Nebraska is they split their five electoral votes.
They're very important votes.
Two of the votes go into the winner of the statewide popular vote, and the other three go to the winner of the popular vote in each congressional district.
Now, in a letter Wednesday, lawmakers advocated for the winner-take all system, which by the way happens to be the system in 48 states.
The only two states that differ from this are Nebraska and Maine, and stating that Nebraska should speak with a united voice in presidential elections.
I agree with that.
Apparently, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham traveled there to show his support for the change and its importance.
I hope the legislators out there are able to get this right and emphasizing how the election could come down to a single electoral vote.
For example, there is a possibility that you could have Pamela Harris with 269 electoral votes, one shy of the 270 needed to be elected.
And there could be a case where Donald Trump would have 269, one vote, one electoral vote shy.
It is entirely possible.
Now, if that happens, then you would have what is called a contingent election.
In that case, the House would select the president right now with a very slim margin.
The House is controlled by Republicans.
The Senate with a small margin controlled by Democrats would select the vice president.
And each state voting as a delegation, receiving only one vote per state, which would benefit Republicans if it comes down to that.
Anyway, here with more to discuss this.
I mean, it's such an important issue, is Jesse Flanagan is with us, and uh Jesse Flanagan uh is a part I'm sorry, sorry, Jessica Flanagan.
I apologize, Jessica, and she's a partner at Axiom Strategies.
She knows Nebraska politics up and down and sideways.
And anyway, we had two uh we had two lawmakers on, a senator and a congressman on Hannity last night.
Uh Jessica, thank you for being with us.
We love our friends in Nebraska.
How are you?
I'm great, thank you.
We are working really hard uh here in Nebraska to make this important change.
Um this is an issue where up until 1992, Nebraska allocated its electoral votes under a winner-take-off system like all 48 other states.
There was a legislator who was the former chair of the Nebraska Democrat and signed and uh who pushed this bill and it was signed into law by the last Democrat governor Nebraska had, and this was a nakedly partisan gimmick to strengthen their hand.
Um if every state allocated electoral votes like Nebraska and Maine, Mitt Romney would have defeated Barack Obama in 2012.
So this is not uh uh the the point is that Democrats don't want our system everywhere.
They just want it here to dilute the vote of the Republican majority here.
And so the Republican Party here, including our governor, uh Jim Pillen is working very hard uh to put everything together to make sure that we that we uh give the majority of Nebraskans their voice back and the full impact of their electoral vote.
Okay.
Now, where are we?
My understanding is you might be a vote or two shy of guaranteeing its passage.
Where are we in this process?
Yeah, Nebraska operates with a one house nonpartisan unicameral consisting of 49 state senators.
All thirty-three, we have thirty-three Republican senators, and all thirty-three of them would be needed uh to vote for the bill for cloture and then also vote so it passes with an emergency clause.
Uh it right now we we it's really coming down to State Senator Mike McDonald from the Omaha area.
Um he's got a really interesting story.
He uh was a Democrat for a long time, and he was a strong supporter of uh pro-life causes, and he's also been fiscal conservative, and he switched to the Republican Party about a year ago.
And um he's the swing boat.
He's worked really hard over his career um on public safety issues, been a strong ally of Governor Pillen, and he's had a lot of thoughtful questions about what kind of impact this would have.
And he's got some questions about the timing, but he also is really concerned about what this might mean for national security and uh the border and the economy.
And um he's he's still uh our big question mark, but I'm sure that he's gonna land on the right side of this.
If he has questions, can can you remind him of a few things?
And and this is what's frustrating to me.
And he sounds like a nice guy and a reasonable person.
And I think I think what's very critical here is I I don't think we've ever had anybody that has said such r made such radical statements and has such radical positions ever running for president.
For example, Tomala Harris has no restrictions on abortion, even in months seven, eight, and nine.
I I have friends of mine that say that they're pro-choice.
Not one of them supports that radical position, not one.
Uh at that point, I believe it would be infanticide.
She has stated her support for a mandatory gun buyback position.
She has stated unequivocally she doesn't support a border wall.
She wants to decriminalize illegal immigration, offer free housing, health care, education, legal driver's licenses for illegals.
Uh her running mate wants free college education paid for by people.
Uh we have had dozens and dozens of Americans that have been raped by the 11 and a half million plus, because we don't know how many gotta ways there are uh Harris Biden illegals that have come into this country.
Uh we have had many raped, many murdered, many victims of violent crime.
It has cost the country billions of billions of dollars.
Um she now also, we discovered, supports taxpayer-funded sex chain surgery for illegal immigrants and for convicts, and she wants amnesty for all of them, or she calls it an earned path to citizenship.
Uh she would he supports reparations, banning plastic straws, reducing meat consumption.
That might matter to people in Nebraska, I think.
Um she co-sponsored the ninety-three trillion dollar Green New Deal and pledged to eliminate the filibuster to get there.
Uh she wants government health care for all, and she has said she would eliminate the right to private health insurance.
She said it in her own words.
I have all of this information uh available on Hannity.com where called the Kamala Files, I have the walls files.
If if there's anybody that's interested in hearing her in her own voice state these things, he has not had to explain why she thinks it's courageous not to say radical Islamic terrorism or not to say illegal alien.
Uh she has called the hype cost of energy the cost of democracy.
Uh she has proposed now what is the largest tax increase in American history, including taxing on realized capital gains and the highest tax increase in the world.
He supports defunding, dismantling, reimagining ice and reimagining the police.
He's not had to answer for tweeting out a bail fund in the summer of 2020 when there were 574 riots.
Uh and she tweeted out the bail fund four days after the burning of a Minneapolis police precinct, and then said that the rioters won't stop, the rioters shouldn't stop, and she's not going to stop, and we're not going to stop.
She's not had to explain being the last person in the room and how she's comfortable with the Afghanistan decision that killed 13 Americans, and we abandoned hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines and hundreds of our allies behind enemy lines.
He has not explained the position of her running mate.
You know, feminine hygiene products and boys' bathrooms and schools, legal driver's licenses for illegals and free college uh for illegals and a pledge to build a 30-foot ladder company to help illegals get over Donald Trump's 25-foot wall.
He supports gender-affirming care without parental consent.
He wouldn't call in the National Guard during the rioting in the summer of 2020, but he did open the family windows so they can smell the burning rubber.
I don't think those are values that anybody in Nebraska supports.
I can't think of of even a Democrat supporting these values.
Is this one holdout aware of these positions?
Um I I think he's been getting the message from a lot of people in his district and a lot of other people that have these same concerns.
Because if Harris holds the blue wall, it really could come down to Nebraska.
And some of the things that you talked about are universally um can representative of the concerns of Nebraskans all across our state, including the economy, national security, particularly the invasion of the southern border that has made everyone a border state, whether it's human trafficking or fentanyl.
Um and then there's also cultural issues here in Nebraska, like the safety and fairness of um men and women's bathrooms and women's sports.
These are all things that Nebraska's almost universally agree on.
And uh the importance of what this means, not just for the election, but what it means for our culture and our national security is why everybody in Nebraska is working so hard to make sure that the full impact of Nebraska's electoral votes are felt in November.
Why it matters so much to me is that Kamala Harris in sixty plus days has not answered for any of these stated positions that she has only made in recent years.
You know, we only hear from her campaign that she's changed her mind.
And I'm not sure it's anything other than an election year conversion.
But I'm not sure if you co-sponsor the Green New Deal and would eliminate the filibuster to to pass it, or that you'd co-sponsor government health care for all and eliminate private health insurance.
How do you back away from that position with any any sense of integrity?
Well, voters really need to um step up here as we get started uh on early vote.
And the last two presidential elections have been decided by 50,000 votes.
Every vote matters, every electoral vote really matters.
And this could have a major consequence on the in Nebraska.
Our entire federal delegation, both of our U.S. Senators, all three of our U.S. Congressmen um put out a letter last week asking the Republican senators here, the 33 Republican state senators, to get together and get this done in a special session and join Governor Pillan's call to write this wrong and turn this around and make sure that Nebraskans voice has the full impact and it's not being diluted by a Democrat partisan move from the nineties.
well i hope that you're going to be successful um i i don't like pressure campaigns against people i think they've got in the end they're going to follow their conscience uh But this does not sound like somebody that, even though maybe it was once a Democrat, uh supports the values that that of her stated positions.com, they're on all my social media.
And and maybe we can inform this one holdout of just how radical and extreme the positions are that she has taken.
I know most people have busy lives and they don't have time to, you know, immerse themselves in in this stuff which I I live in every day.
And uh I think it might might actually be a tipping point for somebody.
I hope so.
I hope so.
Anything else that we can uh uh you can tell us about this.
Well, I I can tell you that um the issues that you that you brought up, um, but particularly as it relates to the border um and national security.
That's what Senator Graham uh talked about when he came and met with the Republican state senators.
Um and they're dealing with local issues, and I think him coming in um with Congressman Flood and really talking about what the national implications of this have had a big impact.
Um the the public safety issues and the national security issues are the things that really seem to be moving the state senators.
I think those are the things that is creating the urgency with Governor Pillen, and I know those are the issues that Senator McDonnell is is weighing as he as he faces this issue.
Well, uh, we did have Congressman Flood and Senator Ricketts on TV last night.
It's an issue we're gonna follow very, very closely.
Uh and if Mr. McDonald would like to come on this program or on a Hannity the TV show, please uh you know our contact now.
We'd love to have him on and and have a you know uh an honest discussion about all of this, and and I just think it's important, and I think that Nebraska joining the other forty-eight states is just simply the right decision.
That's my humble opinion, and I I hope you guys get there.
Well, we're working on it.
Thank you so much.
