This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, thanks, Scott Channel.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
So as we mentioned earlier in the program, Kamala Harris has her big moment and Oprah and all the Hollywood stars coming out on her behalf.
And it's, you know, oh, but of course we get no questions answered.
I mean, it just is, you know, a, you know, rah-rah, Hollywood, you know, you know, all the stars are there.
They're all, you know, singing her praises.
And again, we don't get any answers to any important questions.
But Harris did say that she would shoot first and not ask questions later if an intruder ever broke into her house.
This is what she said.
Kamala gun owner, Tim Ross.
I know that.
And I thought the race in my house is getting shot.
Yes, yes.
I hear that.
I hear that.
Probably should not have said that.
But my staff will deal with that later.
Of course, you're a giggling vice president.
But I mean, it was all Hollywood stars and Julia Roberts, Chris Rock.
And what have I been saying about the Democratic Party?
They're the party of coastal elites out of Hollywood and D.C. and New York.
And really, conservatives and Republicans have become the party of hardworking men and women.
Look at Donald Trump's position on no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security.
All Kamala Harris wants is the largest tax increase in the history of the world and the $93 trillion cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, new Green Deal.
But this person, you know, now she's bragging she's going to shoot first, ask questions later.
Well, that's a very different Kamala Harris than we have heard from before because she's the one that said she supports a mandatory gun buyback and even went as far as to say when he was the Attorney General out in California as to say that, well, we have a right to go into your home and inspect how you take care of your guns, whether you like it or not.
What would you do about the millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation?
What do you do about those?
Well, there are approximately 5 million to your point, Craig.
We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.
It's got to be smart.
We've got to do it the right way.
So this is about just basically saying that we're going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community.
And just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair.
Wow.
Pretty amazing.
Anyway, joining us to weigh in on this and the rest of the campaign with only 46 days to go and early voting already ongoing.
Hung Kao is with us, author of Call Me an American, Refugee to Patriot, Lessons Learned for a Strong America, retired Navy captain, running for the U.S. Senate in the Commonwealth of Virginia against Tim Kaine and Sarah Carter, investigative reporter and Fox News contributor.
Thank you both for being with us.
Sarah, let's start with you.
I mean, the hypocrisy couldn't be any more transparent, but again, she's not had to answer these questions.
No, and she refuses to answer the questions outside of the scope of what she feels comfortable with, and that is the bubble of Hollywood, you know, radical leftists, radical progressives that are now playing the chameleon with her, you know, comma chameleon.
I love that because that's exactly what she is.
She's trying to reach out to middle America by pretending to be something that she isn't.
This is the same person that has left our borders wide open.
She says, yeah, they better not come in my house or I'm going to shoot first and ask questions later.
But she's left our front door wide open now for four years and has not shut that door and has left it wide open for terrorists, has left that door wide open for criminals, has left that door wide open for fentanyl and drug cartels and human traffickers that are now, they're the ones that have operational control of that border, not the American people, not the American government.
It is the drug cartels and our children are suffering and there is a humanitarian crisis.
And, you know, this is the thing about Hollywood, Sean, and I could tell you this, you know, traveling around the country and talking to people, those who don't trust Kamala Harris, have said to me, you know, I would say, well, why do you think so many people do support her?
I mean, why do you think after four years of these disastrous policies that some people do support?
And they said, well, because people are just lured by what they see sometimes, you know, these Hollywood elites that are telling them that this is the way to do things.
And these are people that live in a bubble.
These are people that live in a bubble, but they're very powerful people, and they do control a lot of the messaging that goes out there.
And I think that's why it's so important, especially on your program, on other shows, where we ask the tough questions and we say, wait a minute, this wasn't her policy.
This is what she said.
And this is what she has done.
You know, believe your eyes, not what they're telling you.
Believe what they are actually doing.
And Kamala Harris certainly is somebody that I would be very concerned about in her administration, a future administration, somebody that would want to seize your weapons, somebody that would want to allow for inspections inside private homes and violating Fourth Amendment rights and everything else.
This is somebody that we should all be concerned about.
And I think why this election is so important is because it is an election that is like versus, you know, our common sense and our nation and our Constitution versus, you know, Marxism, radical progressivism.
Hung Cal, let's get your take.
Well, again, this is, you've got to believe them when they say what they're going to do, right?
And she said, just because you are law-abiding citizens doesn't mean we can't come into your house and inspect.
And then they can take away guns, too, if they deem that it's not safe.
Again, this is communism.
This is what I escaped from.
I escaped Vietnam because of this.
And I've spent 25 years in the Navy in Navy special operations fighting around the world to protect democracy.
And now it's being attacked in our own home.
And that's why I'm running for office.
I mean, I left a curve honor to come to this because I see the threat to our country right now.
They're going to do these things because they've already signaled that they're going to do it.
I mean, the same people that, like Joe Biden said, I told Jill to go outside, pump a shotgun, shoot in the air.
Like, wait a minute, you have no idea what the laws are.
Basically, you're saying an illegal discharge of firearm in the city.
And this is exactly what they're going to do.
They're going to come in, take their guns, and take away your liberty.
You know, I look at, for example, the vulnerability at the border, and I think it's maybe one of, it's probably become the biggest national security risk.
Sarah, you have reported for Hannity, the TV show.
You've been down to the border more times than I can certainly count.
And you have witnessed all of this up front.
Now, we learned from testimony yesterday, and we played it on this program yesterday, and we had this guy Heike on last night.
You know, he was the head of the San Diego sector of the border, and he was told repeatedly to lie and to hide what they knew to be true, which was there were, you know, tens and tens of thousands of people crossing this border, but they were trying to hide it from the American people while simultaneously lying to us and telling us the border's secure and the border's closed when they knew it wasn't.
But in her own words, and we could play it if you like, we've played it many times.
You know, Kamala Harris doesn't want a border wall.
She wants to decriminalize illegal immigration.
We know she has proposed free housing, health care, education.
In Minnesota, you'll get a legal driver's license if you live in that state, free college tuition if you live in that state.
And Tamala similarly has proposed, and I don't think most Americans know, even though we have early voting even beginning in the Commonwealth of Virginia today.
She has proposed something I never thought I'd hear any politician push, and that is taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for illegals and for convicted felons.
That's another one of her radical positions.
But when you look at the national security aspect, Sarah, we have people that we know of that have entered this country from 180 other countries, including our top geopolitical foes and our top and countries with terror ties, including Iran and Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Venezuela, tens and tens of thousands from China and Russia.
I don't think they're coming here for a better life.
We know and we've been told that known terrorists, people with terror ties from countries with terror links are in this country.
And I don't think it's a matter of if.
I think it's a certainty.
I think it's a matter of when this country gets hit with terrorist attacks because of Harris and Biden open borders.
Sean, you're absolutely right over the target, and this is exactly what is happening.
And it's at the expense not only of the national security of our great nation, the United States of America, and all the people that have come here from all over the world who make this nation such a beautiful nation.
And like my mother, who was an immigrant, like the man that's serving for Senate, like Hankao, and others who have come to this country and want to give their children and their families a better life and who have done it the right way.
But we have opened the border so incredibly wide open that we have put ourselves in the most dangerous national security state that we have ever been in.
And I can tell you this by talking to intelligence officers and people overseas.
I was just recently in Central America.
There's a huge concern there as well because you see the movement of our adversaries.
We've seen Venezuela weaponize the migration to the United States.
We've seen other nations like China.
We've seen Iran.
You mentioned Iran.
We've seen what the IRGC has done, even in South America and Central America, how they're accessing our border.
And Christopher Wray himself, the FBI director, was very clear, was very clear.
And the Border Patrol Chief, by the way, isn't the only one who has come out in law enforcement and made these statements openly, finally, after retirement, have said this.
But I can tell you, all the sources we've spoken to have said the exact same thing as the chief, that they've been asked to lie, that they've been asked to hide.
And now, Christopher Wray comes out with the FBI and says, hey, look, we're hearing chatter all across the globe.
Our country is in a direct line of threat.
We have not only our adversaries, but we still have terrorist organizations that want to take advantage of our weakness at the border.
And Sean, this is what we are contending with.
It is not a matter of if.
It is a matter of when.
We already have 300-plus people that we've already connected to the terror watch list.
And what about all the known gotaways that have come into the country and that are hiding within our nation right now, those that paid extraordinary amounts of money so they would not be checked, so that they would not be fingerprinted.
There is a reason why they did it that way, and that is because they are hiding from law enforcement, and that poses a direct threat to ourselves and to our children and to our nation's future.
And that rests solely with Harris and Biden, solely with Harris and Biden, and Harris who with the borders are.
All right, quick break.
We'll come right back more with Sarah Carter and more with Hung Kao on the other side.
He's running against Tim Kaine in Virginia.
By the way, early voting starting there today.
We'll take a quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll get to your calls at the bottom of the half hour.
800-941-Shauna's on number as we continue this Friday.
25 to the top of the hour.
Happy Friday if there is such a thing before an election.
46 days till election day.
Early voting now, rolling out around the country.
For details about your state, we have as a public service on Hannity.com about registration, early voting, when it starts, how to vote by mail, all that stuff.
Every bit of information you could ever want.
It's prominent.
It's right up front.
And it is for free.
It's a public service, as I said.
I want to remind you: I mean, there's so much crime because of defund, dismantle, the insanity, no bail laws, reimagining police and ICE and wide open borders.
But, you know, what do you do to protect your life, the life of your families?
And what do you do, especially if you're in a situation where you can't have a firearm with you?
Maybe you're out of state and the law doesn't allow you to do such.
You've got to follow the law.
Well, one non-lethal option that is legal in all 50 states is extraordinarily effective.
It's part of my everyday safety, security, personal security plan, and it's a non-lethal option.
It's called Burner.
The technology is phenomenal, as I said, legal in all 50 states.
No permits, no background checks.
I think I'm their biggest customer because I'm so in love with the technology that I buy it for friends and family.
And even people that have been reluctant or resistant to use a firearm, they feel a little bit more at ease because it's a non-lethal option.
But the burner launcher uses powerful deterrents, pepper spray, tear gas, kinetic rounds.
You can hit a target 50, 60 feet away.
You can watch their videos and see even the biggest perpetrator be incapacitated for up to 30 to 40 minutes.
It's that effective.
Go to the website.
It's burner, byrna.com/slash Hannity.
You'll get 10% off any purchase.
That's byrna.com/slash Hannity and check out the latest news today.
All right, let's get to our busy phones on this Friday.
So many of you have so much to say.
Let's say hi to Bart.
He's in Wyoming.
Bart, hi.
How are you?
Glad you called.
Happy Friday.
Oh, thank you very much.
We're from big, wonderful state of Wyoming where the guns outpopulate the population.
Is that true, by the way?
I'm sure it is.
Oh, yeah, it's very true.
Well, I have a population of one in my house, and I could tell you that the guns, they're more guns than me in my own house as I live alone.
And it's my belief that that's the way it should be.
Well, it just is what it is, and they're all legal, by the way.
And I do have a license to carry permit in my state of Florida.
I had one, believe it or not, I had one in New York.
I have surrendered it, you know, when I moved down here.
Yeah, as do I. I'm a former deputy sheriff, so I have one myself.
My question, I guess, is with Kamala not being fact-checked at the debate, not doing interviews, not answering the hard questions, going to her rallies and making it more of a laughing show.
And that laugh makes my teeth itch.
Is it possible that it really doesn't matter to her or the DMC that they have a contingency plan in place to where she's going to possibly take the election anyway?
Oh, I'd like to think not.
I mean, I don't like the way that we vote in the country.
I don't think it lends itself to the most integrity and the greatest confidence in the results.
I've gone over what measures I think we ought to have and the system that we ought to have, but it's not the one that we do have.
And I'm going to tell you something about life.
You know, in life, you deal with the hand that you dealt, not the hand you wish you were dealt.
You know, I have a very dear friend of mine.
Actually, she's a friend of this program.
I suffered severe health problems, our friend Velma in Vegas.
And we got the best news on her health yesterday, and she called me.
And then I started giving her a hard time about politics just for kicks and giggles.
But, you know, she'd been through an awful lot.
And thank God, you know, it wasn't the hand she wanted, but it was the hand she was dealt.
And I had to have a couple of tough conversations with her about how she needed to get in this fight and win this fight for her children.
And I kind of have become the adopted uncle of her two sons that she adopted, and they're great kids.
I mean, I look at them like my own kids, and I yell at them like my own kids.
I yell at everybody.
I'm in the process of yelling at everyone.
We deal with the hand we're dealt here.
And right now, the only way you're going to get any changes is to win elections.
So we've got to go all in to win this election.
I'm willing to accept what the outcome is.
And it's in God's hands in the end.
And only God knows the outcome right now.
Anybody that tells you they know the outcome, they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
So I'm just urging everyone to understand what is at stake and to do your part and not to resist voting early, voting by mail, and all the things we've discussed.
I hope that helps you.
But, you know, I can't tell you what other people that don't respect our laws and sovereignty might do.
I just, I can't tell.
I can't factor that in.
I'm just, I would hope that law enforcement would stop them, but they don't seem to stop very much at anything that Democrats do these days.
It's pretty frustrating.
Anyway, my friend, appreciate it.
My best to my friends out in Wyoming, Missouri.
We have Steve next on the Sean Hannity show.
Steve, how are you?
Glad you called.
Doing good.
How are you doing, Mr. Hannity?
Second time caller, longtime listener.
Thank you, my friend.
I'd like to comment if I can.
I really would like to know what in the world's going on with these 14 Republicans voting against the House Speaker and the SAVE Act.
I'd really like to see you call these jackwagons out and let people know what representatives voted against it.
We certainly don't need this to turn into what we had in 17, 18.
We don't need that again.
And I just don't understand why anyone would be against having to prove to be a U.S. citizen in order to vote in a national election.
Also, I really would like to see you assist.
There are a lot of people that don't like spending levels.
There are a lot of different reasons.
The problem Republicans have at the end of the day is they have a very diverse coalition and they don't have a big enough majority.
Now, we're coming up on an important election.
And if you're voting for Donald Trump, which I'm urging, I hope everybody does.
I hope you'll also vote for the Republican representative and the Republican Senate candidate.
And there are some Senate candidates I like more than others.
But, you know, just to have the majority gives you a lot more power than being in the minority.
So I would take all of that extremely seriously.
And that would probably solve this problem.
But you do have a diverse coalition.
And, you know, why Democrats, I mean, let's flip it on them.
Why would they be against proof of citizenship, voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls for mail-in ballots, updated voter rolls?
You know, I need, why would they be against partisan observers in every precinct watching the voting all day up close, the vote counting all night?
Yeah, the senator you had on yesterday, he answered that question, why the Democrats want those kind of voters out there is to be found outload the Supreme Court and some of those other things that Senator brought up.
But I'm just looking at if we can get the majority on that, keep the majority on the House and get the majority on the Senate be a fail-safe.
I can't win this election from behind this microphone or behind that camera every night on my own.
I am trying to deputize everybody to do a little more than maybe they usually do.
That's why we have put up information about early voting, voting by mail.
It's a public service.
That's why we put Kamala in her own words.
We call it the Kamala files.
It's all on my social media and Hannity.com, the walls files on Hannity.com, my social media.
And if you all share this on social media with your friends, your family, your coworkers, your neighbors, you know, we could bypass a very corrupt institution known as Pravda, the state-run media mob.
And, you know, my advice is to do everything in your power so the morning after when we get the election results, whenever that is, when we get those results, one way or the other, you can look yourself in the mirror and know that you did everything in your power to try to help this country.
That's it.
I think there's so much at stake.
And she's radical beyond words.
I got a role.
Appreciate the call.
Georgia, very important state.
Anyway, let's check in with Elvis in Georgia.
Elvis, how are you?
What's going on?
I'm good, sir, and it's an honor to talk to you.
I have an announcement about Georgia coming up very shortly.
I'll tell you about it soon.
I hope it's good news.
So long.
I think it's great news.
It's going to be fun.
I'm a longtime Trump supporter.
I have been since 2016 when he decided to run.
Recently, over the last few weeks, I've watched a lot of the politics, especially like on X and things of that nature.
And it amazes me at how people are just blindly following Kamala Harris.
And with 12 of the last 16 years being Democratic-run and only just a few years when Trump was in president, did we actually find relief and people were finding jobs and employment?
I don't understand how they can blindly follow her.
These same people wouldn't go out and buy a house without doing an inspection report on it.
Yet they're willing to trust their livelihood to someone without researching and actually seeing the facts on her.
And who controls whether they'll buy the house or not?
So, I mean, it's just crazy to me how we've almost lost what it defined us as Americans.
You know, all the other countries used to look at it and say, hey, Americans are great.
I remember watching a thing with Desi Arnaz where he talked about how great it was to be an American and how opportunities that he had were afforded to him, you know, only in America.
And we've lost that as Americans.
And I don't know how to get it back.
Well, I don't think America supports the idea of feminine products in boys' bathrooms and schools.
I don't think America supports paying for sex change operations for convicted felons or illegal immigrants.
I don't think Americans like the idea of 11 million, 11.5 million going on, you know, 15 million unvetted Harris Biden illegals that get free housing, health care, education.
Now you get a path to amnesty.
I mean, I don't think most Americans support defund dismantled no bail laws.
I don't think most Americans support no fracking, no drilling.
I don't think most Americans support this radicalized, you know, the highest tax cuts in American history and world history.
I don't think Americans, you know, if they're fully informed, you know, but this is all in play and early voting's starting, and early voting is about to start in Georgia.
By the way, I'll just say this: I'll give you a preview of coming attractions.
I'm going to be in Georgia, and it's going to be a great event.
That's all I can tell you.
Okay?
It would be great to meet you.
I look forward to it.
Thank you.
So every has a defining moment that they have in their career.
And I think back to when Trump was shot and how if that had happened 50 years ago, Americans would have rallied completely behind him.
There wouldn't be all this division that's going on in the United States.
But that's just a glimpse of how much we've changed.
I agree with you.
I believe the majority of Americans don't buy into all the Democratic left stuff, but there's still a lot of folks that blindly follow it.
I think a lot of Americans are, I'll use Russia's term because I can't say it any better, low-information voters, and we have to make them more informed than they are.
Because if they're informed about her radicalism, Wall's radicalism, they vote against her.
Thank you, Elvis.

The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Right back to our busy phones.
800-941-SEAN if you want to join us this Friday.
Sean in Georgia, next Sean Hannity show.
What's up, John?
My old stomping grounds.
How are you?
I'm doing fine, Sean.
How are you today?
I'm good.
You know, I've gotten to know, and I really wasn't that close to, and I've come to really like as your governor.
Governor Kemp has turned out to be a great guy.
He's done a lot of things down here, and he really shone during COVID.
You know, all these other blue states shut down during COVID, and Governor Kemp kept everything going.
He tried to keep the kids in school, tried to keep businesses open.
And, you know, we came out on the backside of COVID.
We were one of the first states that really got up and running again.
Let me tell you, and I actually owed him an apology.
I remember when I first heard that he was opening the tattoo parlors, I was a little nervous about that.
And he turned out to be right, and I turned out to be wrong.
And I even admitted on the air that I was wrong.
But more importantly, he's kind of understated, very quiet, but he gets the job done.
And he's a guy that has, you know, he's just shown, he's just impressed the hell out of me, if you really want to know the truth.
And I know some governors, and I tend to, but I don't know them all.
And I've gotten to know him a little bit, and I've been very impressed.
Yeah, he's a great guy, and he's really gaining popularity this second term.
And when, you know, he shellacked.
Stacey Abrams in last election, that kind of proved it.
Yeah, I mean, and he's been very supportive of President Trump.
And I know at different times they've had their issues, but I think they've both put them aside, thank God.
And I'm very hopeful that, you know, I know he's working on behalf of every Republican running for office in Georgia, and that includes Donald Trump.
And I'm grateful for his efforts because Georgia is a much harder state to win than it was when I lived there from 92 to 96.
Well, President Trump's going to win Georgia this year, and he's going to win it big.
And one of the things that might help him along the way, Sean, is that he talks about giving breaks on tips, no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime.
I'm a 24-year active duty Army veteran.
And one of the biggest things that he could do for the veterans, because we're already struggling as it is out here, some of us are working full-time on top of getting our disability pay from the VA and our retirement pay.
Why not give the veterans a break on the taxes that they get charged on their retirement pay?
I totally agree.
I'd just like no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security.
What is the latest proposal that Trump put out?
They put one other proposal out.
Oh, no tax on overtime.
I didn't even need to be reminded.
These are great ideas.
Anyway, John, appreciate you.
I love my friends in Georgia.
We need Georgia desperately.
I'm grateful to Governor Kemp and his team for their efforts to help every Republican there.
And they've done a great job for the state of Georgia and the people of Georgia.
And they deserve a lot of credit.
