This is an iHeart podcast.
Ever that anybody can remember?
It's become Caracas has become a safe and wonderful city, unlike our cities that are getting worse and worse with this horrible invasion that Kamala, in particular, because I'm no fan of Biden.
He's been a terrible president, doesn't know what he's doing, and he proved that during the debate.
But you know what?
He assigned her to the job.
And whether you call her a border czar or just say that she was put in charge of the border, it doesn't make any difference.
Same thing.
She's done a horrible job.
And she'll be out there tomorrow standing probably in front of the wall that I built trying to say what a wonderful job she did.
And the fake news will believe her because that's what they want to do.
But she didn't.
And I hope everybody out there understands that.
The Border Patrol custody was incredible.
And I have to say that Border Patrol has done an amazing, an amazing job under the circumstances.
And you heard Tom Holman many times say there was never anywhere near anybody as good as President Trump when it came to all of the things that we're talking about, the border, crime on the border.
He said there wasn't anybody even close as president.
In Albany last May, an illegal alien who was caught and released by Kamala Harris stalked and raped a 15-year-old girl driving up behind her, abducting her by force with a metal pipe and raping her again and again over and over and hurting her very badly.
In Indiana this June, a woman was kidnapped by two illegal aliens, brought to a house, held down and raped, and then forced into the back of a car while illegals drove around talking about how to kill her.
Let's find out how to kill her.
She threw herself out of the moving vehicle, was badly hurt, but escaped.
And she said, they didn't mean to rape me.
They meant to kill me.
That was her statement.
Earlier this year, an illegal migrant from Haiti granted entry by Kamala and her horrible policies.
And in particular, her phone app, which nobody can even believe exists.
And the people that deal with the phone app are the cartel heads, if you can believe this.
They're actually put there, I believe, for the heads of the cartels.
And they call it and they tell you exactly where to illegally bring the people that they've, in many cases, abducted.
The phone app, I hope the press looks into that.
Brutally stabbed this woman to death.
Two people in suburban Middletown, New York are looking at this with a life that will always be shattered.
It'll be shattered and can never be the same.
The brutality was unbelievable.
And despite all of this, Kamala Harris intends to stand before the American people tomorrow and lie.
She's going to lie just like she did about her job at McDonald's, just like she did about the 818,000 jobs that they created that were fake jobs.
They didn't exist.
It's a fraud.
And there's nothing nice about what I'm saying.
Our country's in trouble, and we need people that know how to take care of our country and take care of our border.
Without borders and without fair elections, we have no country.
She wants to pretend that she had a secure border, but all you have to do is look at the numbers, the worst border anywhere, probably anywhere in the world.
There's never been a border like this.
A third world country would have used sticks and stones to get people out.
They wouldn't let millions and millions of people invade.
But if that were true, and if she were going to announce tomorrow that she's going to do something about it, why hasn't she done it?
And why didn't she do it almost four years ago?
All of these things she could have done four years ago.
You will hear Kamala claim that the reason the border is not secure is that Congress has refused to pass her atrocious border bill.
It's the worst bill you've ever seen.
It would allow people to come in here at levels that would be incredible and would allow them to get citizenship.
But it was not a border bill.
It was an amnesty bill.
And they duped a couple of people that shouldn't have been duped.
It would give her the power to put all newly entering illegal aliens on a fast track to citizenship.
It would enshrine and expand catch and release.
And it would give a permanent feature of federal laws that are absolutely unacceptable.
She keeps talking about this law that they tried to put through Congress, but fortunately, Congress was too smart for it.
It would have been a disaster.
It would have established a minimum number of illegal aliens who must be important because two million people per year at a minimum would have been under this ridiculous bill would have been allowed into our country.
Two million people.
Now, of course, that's peanuts compared to what's coming in now and what's coming in when the damage was really done.
Look, the damage was done.
They're trying to make it look better now.
But the damage was done over the first three years.
They're trying to do anything to make it look better because it doesn't poll very well for them, but it polls very well for me.
I think I won the election in 2016 because of the border.
I fixed the border.
I couldn't even talk about the border.
My people would say, sir, nobody's listening.
You fixed it.
Nobody cares.
In 2020, then I got millions of more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016, the most votes of any sitting president in history by far.
But I couldn't talk about the border because I fixed it.
I fixed it.
It was great.
But now we can talk about the border because this border, they unfixed it.
This border is the worst border.
And by the way, 25 times worse and more deadly than the border in 2016.
That was considered a good border by compared to this.
But it would provide illegal bill, alien taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Every illegal alien would have a taxpayer-funded lawyer.
This is the bill that she said she wants.
And funnel millions of dollars of left-wing organizations, people to come into our country.
It would enable human trafficking.
And by the way, she also wanted to have transgender operations for illegal migrants that were in detention.
Now, think of that.
She also wanted, as you know, to defund the police.
She wants to defund the police.
She was one of the leaders in the Defund the Police Movement, and that lasted for years.
And anybody that wants to defund the police for one day should never have the right to be President of the United States.
And she was one of the leaders in that movement.
But think of that.
She wants to give sex change operations to people in detention that came in illegally and are classified as illegal migrants.
If they want a sex change operation, she said that's okay.
We'll do that.
The only way to secure our border is to fire radical Border Czar Kamala Harris this November.
Look, we talk about the border.
She's been just as bad on everything else.
We have the worst inflation, I think, in the history of our country.
They say 48 years, but that's pretty bad, too.
But I think the actual number of years is, I think it brings it out to the worst ever.
Kamala Harris endorsed abolishing ICE.
She is seen as a down with deportations, opportunists, but people don't realize that the people of this country want deportations of those criminals.
They want the murderers out.
They want the drug dealers out.
They want everybody out who's going to hurt them.
They want to have a safe country.
As I said, before being interrupted by lightweight anchor David Muir, crime is massively up in our country.
It's very lucky.
The Department of Justice released numbers right after that debate.
Somebody in there might like me.
But they released numbers giving the real numbers, and the numbers were unbelievably, shockingly high, the highest ever.
And I haven't gotten an apology.
I want an apology from ABC.
She supports free taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens and even, as I said, some of the horrible things that she's willing to do, including the sex change operations for people in detention.
She called for abolishing immigration, detention centers.
She wants to have detention centers, but detention centers that you can get out of.
Remember when in 2014 Obama built cages and the fake news tried to say, I built them.
Fortunately, we had a great American that said, no, these were built during the Obama administration, and Biden knew about it, but I don't think Biden knows too much.
And we have one other thing that she's called.
She's called the grandmother of sanctuary cities.
I'm going to terminate all sanctuary cities.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals.
They're sanctuaries for criminals.
And, you know, you can go to California where she ruined San Francisco.
All right, with 40 days to go until Election Day for stations along the Sean Hannity Show Network, we're going to continue our coverage.
President Trump's press conference.
He is at Trump Tower in New York City as we continue.
I want to say that I have property in San Francisco.
It's not a good thing to say, but this far supersedes my ownership of property.
It's an unlivable place.
It was the best city.
Bob Tish of Lowe's, friend of mine, great guy, wonderful man.
He was in San Francisco.
He was in Chicago.
He had big businesses all over the Tisch family.
Bob Tish used to tell me that he thinks San Francisco is the greatest city in the country.
He passed away quite a while ago.
And San Francisco probably was, and now it's not even livable.
She destroyed it when she was the DA, and she destroyed the state of California along with Gavin Newscomb.
She destroyed the state of California when she was the AG.
If you can't say the phrase illegal alien, she said, then we can't trust you to secure the border.
She said, you're not allowed to say the phrase under any circumstance, illegal alien, but that's what they are.
And it's that simple.
She didn't want you to use that term.
If you used that term, you'd be fired.
And by the way, she fired everybody in a rush.
She couldn't get along with anybody.
You know, it's interesting.
Five months ago, she was considered the worst vice president in history.
She was laughed at, scoffed at for three years.
She was the worst.
Her staff hated her beyond belief.
They were quitting.
She had almost nobody wanted to work there.
She couldn't get people to work for her.
And she was just considered as bad as it gets.
And she wasn't going to be chosen.
No way that she was going to be chosen to replace Joe Biden.
We had the debate.
After the debate, they said, oh, this guy, we've got to change him.
I think we're up 21 points.
But they went in there and everyone knows they threatened the 25th Amendment.
They threatened him with the 25th Amendment.
They said, Joe, you're going to get out.
And Nancy Pelosi led the charge.
And Nancy Pelosi has a little problem because her husband sold their Visa stock.
They had a lot of Visa stock one day before Visa.
It was announced that Visa is being sued by the Department of Justice.
Think of that.
Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago was brought against Visa.
You think it was luck?
I don't think.
She should be prosecuted.
Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.
And she should also be prosecuted for J6 because she turned down 10,000 or any number she wanted, soldiers or National Guard.
And I hope you all read John Solomon and what John Solomon wrote two days ago.
Because if you read it, you'd see that Donald Trump did absolutely nothing wrong.
It's a scam.
It's a scam.
On day one of my new administration, I will stop all migrant flights immediately.
They should stop them tonight.
She can do that.
Just sign one little page saying, stop the migrant flights.
But she won't do that.
They're infecting our country.
They're destroying our country.
I will shut down all entries through the migrant phone app, something that most of you haven't even heard of, but it's very active and taking in thousands and thousands of people a week.
I will end catch and release, and I will restore, remain in Mexico.
I'm going to tell Mexico, thank you very much.
You're putting it back right away.
You're putting it back, and they will do it too when I tell them.
I will bring back Title 42.
I will send a federal law enforcement, large group of people, but a tough group of people, to liberate Aurora, Colorado.
The governor of Colorado is petrified of these gangs.
These are Venezuelan gangs with equipment better than our military has, going in with guns.
The governor of Colorado is a coward.
He's afraid to do what you have to do.
And every other town that has been taken over by the migrant gangs and criminal alien thugs.
And I think I'll go to a couple of these towns over the next two weeks.
You'll see for yourself what's happened to them.
They've been literally destroyed.
I will send Congress a bill to ban sanctuary cities in the first day that I become president.
And I will tell you, whether it's California or any place else, you might have guys like the governor Newscomb or others that are governors wanting it.
Nobody knows why.
But the people don't want them.
You can go and ask the people of California, do you want sanctuary cities?
The people, including Democrats, will say we don't want them.
We will seal the border.
We will stop the invasion and we will begin the largest deportation of criminals, the criminal element, which is a large portion.
We will start that immediately.
Dwight Eisenhower had the largest deportation effort ever in our country, President Eisenhower, because he hated the fact that people were able to pour across our border.
This will be much larger than that.
But we will get rid of the drug dealers.
We will get rid of the human traffickers.
We will get rid of the murderers, the people that came out of jails, and the people that came out of mental institutions.
They will all be gone.
It'll happen very quickly.
We'll be dealing with local law enforcement who knows everything about every one of them.
Their name, their serial number, they know everything.
We respect our police, and we're going to respect law and order again.
So I appreciate everybody being here.
I just wanted to make this statement before Kamala goes down to the border.
Anything she says tomorrow, you know, is a fraud, because she was the worst in history at protecting our country.
So she'll try and make herself look a little bit better, but it's not possible.
Normally, I would save this speech till after she leaves, but there's not a thing she can say to make it change.
As you know, President Zelensky has asked to meet with me, and I will be meeting with him tomorrow morning at around 9:45 in Trump Tower.
And it's a shame what's happening in Ukraine.
So many deaths, so much destruction.
It's a horrible thing.
And one of the things that are very bothersome to me is the fact that Europe is paying only a small fraction of the money that the United States of America is paying.
And we have an ocean between Russia and ourselves.
They don't.
So I see what's happening there.
It's very, very sad.
But we're in for numbers that nobody can even believe.
And as you know, the European nations, as a combination, their economy is fairly close to the size of ours, so it's similar.
They should be equalizing.
They should start paying up.
I did this with NATO.
I made them all pay.
Bush would make a speech and leave.
Obama would make a speech and leave.
And I said, you've got to pay.
If you don't pay, we're not going to be there.
And everybody paid.
And the Secretary General, good man, he said, I've never seen anything like it for 10 years we've been trying to get them to pay.
And it was only Trump that was able to do it.
He was very honest.
It's true.
That's where they have the money to do what they're doing right now.
But they all paid, most of them anyway, hundreds of billions of dollars they paid, and they paid it fast.
They said, sir, does that mean you won't protect us if we don't pay?
I said, you mean you're delinquent?
Yes, let's say we're delinquent.
No, you won't be protected.
The money came pouring in.
Nobody else wanted to say that, and the press thought it was terrible that I made that statement.
But if I didn't make that statement, we'd still be paying.
You know, we were paying for NATO, most of it, almost all of it, maybe all of it, for years.
So I'm going to see President Zelensky tomorrow.
And thank you all very much.
Thank you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know the mayor well, but he's been fairly generous to me in his statements for a while.
I thought you had the worst mayor ever that we had prior to him.
I will say this.
I watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city and the federal government should pay us and we shouldn't have to take them.
And I said, you know what?
He'll be indicted within a year.
And I was exactly right because that's what we have.
We have people that use the Justice Department and the FBI at levels that have never been seen before.
So I wish him luck.
I don't know anything about what he did, but I told a lot of groups, a lot of people right over there, that group was saying, you know, sir, you were right about that.
When they mentioned that, I said they came in and he was pretty strong about it.
He said, this is really unfair to make us carry this burden.
We shouldn't be doing this.
This is New York City.
I mean, your parks are loaded up.
I just passed recently Madison Avenue, the Roosevelt Hotel.
It's like nobody would recognize it.
That's Midtown.
But he came out very strongly against it.
He was right, by the way, because it's ruining our country.
He was honest.
And I said, he will be indicted within a year.
And that's what happened.
And I noticed the indictment is very old.
It goes back a long time.
Well, I had the same thing.
They went way before the statute of limitations.
So I wish him well, but I said that he will be indicted because he did that.
You take a look, that's what they do.
These are dirty players.
These are bad people.
They cheat and they do anything necessary.
These are bad people.
And we need an honest Justice Department.
We need an honest FBI.
We need it fast.
Yeah.
All right, for stations along the Sean Hannity Show Network, we're going to continue our coverage of Donald Trump's press conference as he takes questions now from the media, something Amala Harris would know nothing about as we continue.
He ran a great race.
He did very well.
It's very early, but he's popular, and I'll be seeing him, and I'll send you your regards.
Who are you with?
Who are you with?
With GB News in the UK.
Okay, good.
Would you rather Nigel Farah had a big, bigger role?
Well, I think Nigel is great.
I mean, I've known him for a long time.
He had a great election, too.
He picked up a lot of seats, more seats than he was allowed to have, actually.
They acknowledged that he won, but for some reason, you have a very strange system over there.
You might win him, but you don't get them.
Nigel is a fantastic person.
Mr. President.
President Zelensky Oh, then I should immediately cancel my appointment.
No.
He knows I understand.
Look, look, I hate to see the carnage.
If I were president, it never would have happened.
Russia would have never attacked Ukraine.
Never, ever.
And by the way, President Xi would have never even thought about Taiwan, which he's thinking about very seriously now, flying planes over it every single day.
But President Putin would have never attacked.
When I look at the horror show that's gone on, and the level of death is far greater than what is being reported, when you look at those cities are all knocked down, those beautiful, gorgeous golden domes, they're shattered and lying on their side, never to be replaced again.
You can't ever replace that.
2,000 years old.
When you look at the heritage of that really very vibrant country in so many different ways, and you see how it's been so broken, the people, so many people dead, where they have to use old soldiers, old men, and young boys because they're running out of soldiers.
It's a very terrible thing.
And then you see that the United States is paying for most of it, and Europe is not chipping in.
And all you have to do with Europe is the same thing I did with NATO.
So you have to pay.
And if you say you have to pay, they will.
It's very unfair to the United States.
But I look forward to seeing him tomorrow.
We'll see.
I do believe I disagree with him.
Well, he doesn't know me, but I disagree.
But I will say this.
I believe I will be able to make a deal between President Putin and President Zelensky quite quickly.
What does that look like?
What does that look like?
What does that mean?
I don't want to tell you what that looks like.
The Vice President suggested today that your strategy with Ukraine amounts to surrender to Russia.
How do you respond to that?
No, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
And it's not a surrender.
What my strategy is to save lives, I want to save lives.
Millions of people are dead, millions more than they even think about.
And it's not my fight, but it is a fight to save humanity.
Would you encourage us to win?
That is a tough trial.
That is a terrible, let me explain.
That is a terrible war that would have never happened.
And it didn't happen.
I even have Democrats.
I watched them on Deface the Nation and some of the shows this weekend.
And they said, well, we agree that it wouldn't have happened if Trump were president.
That was very generous of them.
But it would have never happened.
That's what bothers me even more.
There was no reason for that war to happen.
But it did happen.
And millions of people are dead, including soldiers from both sides.
It's so sad to see it.
And I'll meet with President Zelensky and we'll see what happens.
But I believe I can work that out.
Would you encourage that?
It would have been, I will say this, it would have been a lot easier to work out prior to the start.
And Putin never, ever even thought about going in.
And it was the apple of his eye.
I knew him very well.
I had a very good relationship despite the Russia-Russia-Russia hoax.
It was a total hoax.
But we had a very good relationship.
Fortunately, otherwise we could have ended up in war over there.
This is very dangerous.
You know, when you make up stories like that, it's very dangerous.
The laptop from hell was very dangerous.
But Putin told me often, it's the apple of his eye.
But I said, Vladimir, don't even think about doing it.
He would have never done it.
And then, of course, through stupid oil policies and energy policies where oil gets up to almost $100 a barrel, Putin said, wow, I have a lot more money than I thought I had.
And he prosecuted the war.
But even if it went up, it wouldn't have gone up like that.
That's what caused inflation, that and stupid spending for the Green New Deal, which was a Green New scam, turned out.
Do you notice that they don't ever mention anything about environment anymore?
What happened to the environment?
They don't mention it.
They don't mention that the ocean is going to rise a quarter of an inch over the next 500 years.
They don't mention it anymore.
It's incredible.
I will say this, though.
What they should start mentioning is nuclear warming, because we're in grave danger.
The world is in grave danger, and you better get smart people.
You know, during my term, I never mentioned the word nuclear.
But that's the warming that you're going to have to be very careful with.
And we're very close to World War III.
Whether it's the Middle East or that, October 7th would have never happened.
Iran had no money.
I guess that's probably why you hear the stories about Iran.
Only a consequential president would have this happen.
Only a consequential president.
But Iran would have made a deal with us.
It would have been a great deal for them.
The only thing is they cannot have nuclear weapons.
And we would have had it because Iran had no money during my administration.
They were broke.
And they would have made a deal and they would have been happy.
And they would have had an unbelievable civilization.
But it didn't work out that way because of a thing that was very sad to watch.
That was the election.
A very sad thing to watch.
Would you still make a deal with them now after everything that's happened?
If you're re-elected?
Make a deal with who?
Make a deal with who?
Would you try to make a deal with Iran of some kind if you were re-elected?
Sure, I would do that.
I believe in getting, you know, it doesn't matter.
I have a great memory, but it's a memory that wants to serve the people.
We have to make a deal because the consequences are impossible.
We have to make a deal.
And they would have had a deal.
I would have said we would have had the results of the election been correct.
We would have had a deal within one week after the election.
I was prepared to get it done within one week after the election.
They could have done that too, but they had no idea how to go about it.
They could have done it because I gave them a country that wanted to make a deal.
They had to.
There was no money to Hamas.
There was no money to Hezbollah because Iran didn't have the money.
Now Iran has $300 billion.
They made it all in the last three and a half years.
The sanctions came off.
They made it all in the last three and a half years.
Plus, they essentially have Iraq as a subsidiary, and Iraq has $300 billion.
So Iran is a very rich country.
They have $600 to $650 billion, including Iraq.
Iraq doesn't like it when I say that, but that's true.
They're really a subsidiary because foolishly Bush wiped out.
You had two forces, two powerful forces.
One of those forces got wiped out.
And now the other force, after a thousand years, walks in and just essentially takes it over.
So it's very sad to watch.
But Iran now is a big force because they're very rich.
Iran was not rich at all.
Iran didn't have the money to take care of the various organizations of terror.
Okay.
Yesterday at the UN General Assembly came together to call for an immediate ceasefire.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is speaking at the UN tomorrow, he has refused to do that.
What would you do differently to prevent the Middle East from the United States?
Well, you have to have that ended one way or the other.
The world isn't going to take it.
You have to have that ended.
And I would think that we're getting close to a point where maybe it can end pretty soon.
But you're going to have to end that.
That's unacceptable.
The whole thing over there is unacceptable.
That's another one.
October 7th would have never happened.
Would have never happened.
Ukraine and Russia would have never happened.
Think of it.
Would have never happened.
Inflation would have never happened.
Think of the world.
The Afghanistan pull out in that way.
We would have pulled out, but we would have pulled out with dignity and strength.
I'm the one that got it down to that number, but I would have kept Bagram because Bagram is this massive Air Force base that we built many, many years ago with billions and billions of dollars, the most powerful runways that can hold more load than any other runway in the world.
And we walked away from it.
And it wasn't Afghanistan that was the problem.
We walked away from a great military base that we built to the highest specifications that was one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.
We are being run by Kamala, who is grossly incompetent.
All you have to do is look at her interview last night.
Look at her interview with Oprah.
Look at her interview with the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
All you have to do is look around and you'll see it.
We had four years of incompetent leadership.
We cannot, as a country, sustain another four years.
Thank you very much.
Are you going to pull your endorsement in Mark Robinson?
I don't know the situation.
Do you want that Ukraine to turn over some of its own land?
President Trump now wrapping up what is about a little over an hour.
A lot of focus today on the issue of immigration, taking questions from the press, as you hear, and also talking about President Zelensky, the situation in Ukraine, announcing he will be meeting with President Zelensky.
Talked a lot about both the war with Russia and the war in Europe and the war in the Middle East, saying over and over again it wouldn't have happened under his watch.
Open to making a deal with Iran, but it would include no nuclear weapons for Iran.
You know, the scary part to me is the fact that we don't know how close they are.
And, you know, people, sources I've had for a long time, you know, say that they may be closer than people think.
Linda, I did not hear what you said.
I'm sorry.
The president was actually taking some more questions, but he's done now.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, let's get to our phones.
A lot of you have been very patient today.
800-941-Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Patty is in Connecticut.
Patty, thanks for joining us.
We appreciate you checking in.
Oh, I appreciate so very much you taking my call.
And I also have to say I thank you for everything you do every day for this country and for being such a wonderful friend, like family, to President Trump.
He certainly needs people like you, and he's done so much for us.
And he actually is our hope.
I wanted to share a couple of things with you that I think may actually appeal to the independents.
I have a couple of numbers that I have taken from Fox Business.
But I have one thing that I want to mention first.
It's about the socialist manifesto.
And it actually is something that Kamala people had put out.
When they talk about President Trump and the Heritage Foundation 2025, no correlation.
President Trump has talked about that.
But the Socialist Manifesto, this is actually to remake the world under the socialist, all the socialist kind of policies that they actually have.
The Socialist Manifesto or the Communist Manifesto?
It's called the Socialist Manifesto.
And they actually, they actually talking about.
We just lost the call.
I'm not really sure why.
The only thing I'll say is there is a Project 2025, but it's not Donald Trump's.
The one that Kamala refers to, Donald Trump knows nothing about, had nothing to do with, has never read, and has no intention of ever implementing it.
It's just a big lie that she does tell.
But she has a Project 2025, and we know what it is, and we've covered it often.
I'm not going to repeat myself all the time, but we know our policies on the economy, on immigration, on energy, on America's position in the world, on law and order.
Those are the things that impact your life.
So if you're listening in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, I hope you're paying attention.
I mean, by every indication, you know, we're back where we were in 16 and 20, and that is, you know, this race could be decided by three states, four states, and under 100,000 votes.
I mean, and maybe under 50,000.
Pretty chilling, pretty unbelievable.
James, New Hampshire, next Sean Hannity show.
Glad you called.
Sean, hi, first time listener.
I'm sorry.
First time caller, long time listener.
The reason I'm calling is why can't we have with all our technology some sort of fact-checking on the side of Donald Trump that people can go to several websites, what he's talking about, and look and see instantly what the fact-checking of what he is that he's talking about to fact-check on that.
Your thoughts on that?
Well, I mean, I kind of feel like we've, as a public service, done our own fact-checking by putting out the Kamala files and the Walls files and put them up there.
And that's Kamala in her own words.
That's Tim Walz in his own words.
I'm actually very interested.
You know, usually vice presidential debates are not particularly consequential or, you know, they're consequential in some regards, but not as consequential, obviously, as a presidential debate.
It's going to be very interesting to me.
I don't know why I'm interested in the dynamic between Tampon Tim Walz and JD Vance.
And I think that's going to be a very interesting.
But I mean, I just feel like we put out all of them, their radical positions, their extreme positions in their own words.
And I just feel very strongly that if Americans are fully aware of those positions, you know, then they're not going to vote for her.
And the media has failed this country spectacularly.
They really have, and they've done such a disservice to the country in the process.
On the other hand, when they talk about threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy, danger to democracy, danger to the country, danger to the country.
And they say all this, Donald Trump was president for four years.
We know what he's going to do, although he's added some things.
For example, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.
I think those are substantial savings for the middle class, the people that make this country great, the forgotten men and women in this country.
I think it makes, you know, it's huge.
It's a huge difference, huge opportunity for people.
You know, for a period of time, he would, he put a cap on interest rates, which is another way.
I mean, people have had to put bare necessities on credit cards.
That's been going on for far too long.
And so I think what the president is offering is really consequential and important.
But then he talks about, well, how do you grow the economy?
I am a deficit hawk myself, but there's a couple of ways to grow the economy.
The biggest way, if you want to be the greatest, richest country on the face of this earth, the way to do it is through energy dominance.
And we have more energy resources than any other country on the face of the earth, and we haven't exploited it and taken advantage of it.
Now, he did more as president than anybody prior to him.
He made us energy independent for the first time in 75 years.
And we saw the price of energy decline.
I mean, you're paying fully over a dollar plus a gallon for every gallon of gasoline you buy.
I mean, that adds up over the course of a year.
That adds up every month when you fill up your tank once or twice or three times or whatever the number happens to be.
It also adds to the cost of every product you buy in every store you go to because it costs more to ship it there because of the cost of diesel fuel.
So that's one thing.
Then we can have something called a little bit of a reduction of spending.
I'd eliminate baseline budgeting myself.
I'd institute a penny plan or a nickel plan where you just cut, you don't increase spending for every year for five years and cut back on spending.
But you obviously have cost of living adjustments for Social Security and you adjust for Medicare and you certainly have to rebuild the military.
But every other area, discretionary spending, I would cut back and cut back significantly.
I'd cut back on the bureaucracy.
I mean, I guarantee you, if Elon Musk went in there with a grace-like commission, he could knock out half the bureaucracy.
Anyway, I do appreciate the call, my friend, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Tam is next.
I'm not sure where Tam is from.
Tam, where are you from?
I am from Round Rock, Texas, the free state of Texas.
The great state of Texas.
God bless Texas.
What's going on?
Don't forget about our friend Ted Cruz.
Man, they're dumping like $200 million in negative ads on this guy's head.
It's unreal.
Well, thank you for giving him every opportunity every time he gets on your show to make some plugs because he's just getting stifled.
I tell you, it's just wrong.
Listen, I want to tell you something.
It's a signal pleasure to be able to speak to you.
I think if Rush was still alive, I think he would be so proud of what you've done to carry the mantle.
It's just awesome.
But let me get to my point real quick.
Well, I just want to say one thing to that.
Nobody can replace the great Rush.
You know, I was talking to his brother last night as a matter of coincidence.
And, you know, one thing he did have is he had a degree in optimism.
And he just believed in America.
And we have an ability to bounce back.
My fear is if Kamala would, you know, it'll be a total of 20 million when you consider the illegal immigrants prior to them coming into office that had already been in the country.
They want to legalize 20 million illegal immigrants and offer them something of great value.
And I'm all for legal immigration.
I don't care where you come from, but just do it legally, get a background check, health check, means test.
And I'm assuming when you give people something of great value, they're going to feel a certain level of indebtedness to you and maybe want to vote for you.
It could alter election outcomes in perpetuity or at least for decades, depending on the magnitude of failure that's instituted.
But the amount of damage, I don't know, maybe it's irreparable harm.
But anyway, yeah, we definitely could use Russia's voice about now.
But I didn't mean to digress.
Go right ahead.
No, it's fine.
Thinking of y'all in the same sentence is just pretty amazing when it comes to conservative thought.
I just, I want to know something from your standpoint, or at least your best thoughts.
Why on earth did Title IX not, why do you think Trump was not able to segue into something about Title IX?
It's just fine for boys to be able to participate with girls, which is not.
In the last debate with Kamala, he segued into skillfully segued so many times.
I wonder why that Title IX didn't come up in the first debate.
Why do you suppose?
I don't know.
I don't know why feminine hygiene products for boys in schools in Minnesota didn't come up.
I don't know why gender-affirming care for minors without parental consent, which Tim Walz and Kamala support didn't come up.
I don't know why a lot of these, I don't know why legalizing drugs for personal use didn't come up.
I don't know why we only discovered recently she supported decriminalizing prostitution and decriminalizing, you know, these illegal drugs that would even include hard drugs.
I don't know why, you know, it didn't come up that she wants taxpayers to fund sex change surgeries for convicts and for illegal aliens and on top of amnesty, housing, education, and food and everything else people need.
I don't know why any of it, you know, it's certainly the debate moderators were abusively biased, but it's just a shame that she's going to end up, this campaign is going to end in her having not answered for her stated positions.
And I've advocated as hard as I can for this, to get answers.
And the media is so corrupt and abusively biased and complicit, we're not going to get that answer.
You know, what a rush call them, the drive-bys.
I'll give you the last word.
Well, I just, I appreciate it.
I know Cruz is making that one of the main points in his campaign.
And it seems like every time he has the chance to get on with you, that's one of the points he makes.
And it certainly is a point of distinction between the sides.
I got to tell you, we definitely, we have a chance right now with early voting in 40 days to save this country.
Her going to the border tomorrow is a bad joke.
Where has she been?
As your borders are.
And this was the whole purpose of President Trump's press conference today to point out the great hypocrisy and failure that Kamala Harris, it has now become the biggest national security risk in the world.
And the idea that we have Iranian assassination squads in this country and not a word from Harris or Biden warning the Iranians that if they dare, dare to try to assassinate a U.S. presidential candidate, there will be hell to pay is weakness that I can't even fathom.
Anyway, my friend, God bless you.
Appreciate your call.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Full coverage as Hurricane Helene makes landfall.
It's now close to a category four hurricane and then heads right into Tallahassee, the panhandle, up into Georgia.
Governor DeSantis, by the way, will have our weather team in full working mode tonight.
We'll also have the very latest on polling all around the country.
We'll get reaction from Newt Kingrich, set you DVR, 9 Eastern, Hannity Fox News.
Back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
