Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Thank you, Scott.
Sean, an hour to Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
It is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are 35 days till election day.
Early voting now, we have as a public service, Hannity.com, how to register when early voting starts and stops in your states and voting by mail, all the options available.
We also have as a public service, the Kamala files, her in her own radical words, and the walls files, him and his own radical words.
Looking forward to the debate tonight.
Just to give you my schedule tonight, I'll be on at 8:30 Eastern Time, 5.30 Pacific, with Brett Bear Martha, giving some pre-debate analysis.
I can tell you right now, I believe that this can be one of the more consequential vice presidential debates in history because there's so much that has not come out regarding Kamala and Tim Walz.
On top of, I will argue what Iran is doing and what we're witnessing in the Middle East is in large part because of the radicalism and the appeasement policies of Harris and Biden.
They have turned a blind eye to the sanctions that Donald Trump had put in place, and those were strict sanctions on their money.
They were headed towards bankruptcy, on the verge of bankruptcy.
And because Harris and Biden brought back the Iranian agreement, which gives them a path towards a nuclear weapon, they made Iran rich again.
And with that money, they do what they always do.
That's Foment Terror.
They're the number one sponsor of worldwide terrorism.
And they have funded Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad and the Houdi rebels.
And now Iran is firing directly into Israel.
Anyway, we've got that and a lot of other news to get to.
Joining us now is former Congressman Jim Jordan, former Congress.
What am I saying?
Former, top Congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio.
All right.
So you're, you know, what's interesting?
Like, I know that they're probably going to make a big deal about abortion tonight.
Isn't Ohio an interesting state?
Pretty red state now.
Yep.
And we used to worry about Ohio.
We used to worry about Florida.
Now I'm worried about Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, you know, the blue wall, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona, Nevada.
And just times change.
But as a conservative state, when the issue of abortion was put before voters and went back to the states, what did the people in Ohio decide?
Yeah, no, it went to the ballot and they loosened up some of the things that the House had done.
But it's exactly like it's supposed to be.
The states get to decide, which is what President Trump has said.
And you're right about our state.
We're now, President Trump won our state by 8.5 and 16, 8.5 and 20.
Right now, the polling I've seen has him up by 10, 11, some polls, 9, 10, 11.
So I think he's going to win convincingly in our great state again this time.
How about Boreno?
Does he have a good shot out there?
My friend Billy Cunningham.
Have you ever been on Bill Cunningham's show?
I'm sure you've been many times.
Yeah, I've been on it many times.
But I remember when he used to come on your show, and it was the funniest time.
Oh, my gosh.
Hilarious.
But here's my version of Bill Cunningham.
You ready?
Sean Hannity, you're a great American.
God bless you.
God bless America.
And I want a full report.
Yeah, full report.
Give me the full report.
No, Billy's great.
No, I do think so.
By the way, you already said to me one day, he goes, do I really sound like that?
I'm like, yeah, just like Mark Levince.
I was like, I'll say it.
Nobody else will say it.
There, I said it.
Yeah, but you want my rush, Limbaugh too?
August.
Might as well.
We're going through all the great.
We're going through all the.
Well, Sean Hannity would be nothing without me, which, by the way, is true because he forged the path for all of us.
And God, we miss him so much.
Anyway, we do have serious topics.
181 missiles fired at Israel today.
These are ballistic missiles.
They got most of them.
They didn't get all of them.
And I want to get your thoughts.
I think this is in a direct response to the appeasement policies, you know, bringing back the Iranian deal and turning a blind eye to the sanctions that Donald Trump had in place that were bankrupting them.
Absolutely.
I don't know who said it, but some smart person said weakness invites aggression.
And that's what we've seen with Biden-Harris, the things they did, the cozying up to Iran, going back in the deal, lighting up the sanctions, all the things they've done.
And we see, you know, Russia in Ukraine, which didn't happen when President Trump was in the White House.
We see Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, Houdis from Yemen, all these different fronts, people attacking Israel, didn't happen when President Trump was in the White House.
So that is, I think, a huge issue in this campaign.
You want a strong commander-in-chief.
You want someone who means what he says, says what he means.
And we do not have that with the Biden-Harris administration.
I think that's clear for anyone watching.
I still remember when Mike Pompeo was asked, this is shortly after Russia goes into Ukraine.
He was asked the basic question.
I think it was on Fox.
They asked him, Mr. Secretary, would this have happened if President Trump was in the White House?
He says, short answer is I don't know.
But I do know this.
It didn't happen when President Trump was in the White House.
So that sort of says it all.
Let me ask you, there are a lot of things going on.
And we have at the top of this coming hour, the next hour, we have the Reverend Billy Graham with Samaritan's Purse.
I'm actually writing a check to Samaritan's Purse because I feel I am shocked at the devastation in North Carolina and in Tennessee and in Georgia and in Florida, my home state.
And I'm just shocked at all of it.
North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards is furious with the Harris Biden administration.
And, you know, he pointed out that there was no staging done in advance, even though they knew the storm was coming.
And they didn't see anybody on the ground for over 80 hours since the storm was there.
They didn't see any tractor trailers.
And, you know, Samaritan's purse was there before FEMA was there.
And so many others, you know, Harris was pressured into visiting FEMA, which is useless.
FEMA now under fire because they have diversity equity policies in place.
And I mean, it's pretty unbelievable to me that, you know, if this was George W. Bush two days after Katrina, the media and every Democrat was excoriating him for flying over New Orleans because he didn't want to be a distraction on the ground.
No, the double standard, I think everyone can see.
Obviously, the most important concern is just how just the families who have been impacted, the families who've lost loved ones, lost so much of their property, their homes, and different things.
That's the difficult part.
And I know we're all praying for them.
And that's great that Reverend or Franklin Graham's organization is doing the good work they're doing.
But yeah, the double standard is there.
And I was in East Tennessee.
We were down there in Kingsport on Saturday.
They weren't hit like just a little, just not too far from some of those areas were.
But I was there with a wonderful Congressman, Dinah Harshparter, and she had been out doing the work, going out talking to folks, seeing if she could be helpful like you're supposed to.
So yeah, this double standard, though, we see it on this issue and every other issue we see it, where there's one set of rules for us conservatives.
But a whole different set.
If you're part of the elite privileged Democrat or the Biden-Harris administration.
Yeah.
Well, let's talk a little bit about where we are in this election.
We have Quinnipiak polls out today.
Actually, look very good for Donald Trump.
Two states that are must-win right now.
They are the equivalent, the former equivalent of Ohio and Florida, and that is Georgia and North Carolina, and both have Trump up.
Georgia up by six, and North Carolina up by two.
North Carolina is always notoriously close.
And I'm just worried about both those states because I think you need both of them to win.
I'm very encouraged by a lot of the polling coming out of Pennsylvania.
I think Kamala Harris's position on no fracking and no offshore drilling would be a death sentence for the people in Pennsylvania in terms of their economy.
I also believe Pennsylvanians know in their heart that Josh Shapiro would have been a far better VP choice than Tim Walz, who wants feminine products and boys' bathrooms and gender-affirming care for kids without parental consent and wants a 30-foot ladder factory if Donald Trump builds a 25-foot wall and free housing,
health care, education, legal driver's licenses, college education, sex change operations for illegal aliens and convicts.
I mean, this is the most radical ticket in American history.
Yeah, and I've been out.
I was in Georgia two weeks ago.
I like you.
I think it feels good out and about in those states that are going to decide this thing.
And I think we get something that we very seldom get in American politics.
We have back-to-back administrations now running for the top jobs.
And you can get the direct comparison.
And I always say it's kind of four key issues.
We went from a secure border to no border, safe streets to record crime, $2 gas to $4 gas.
And we went from stable prices to record inflation.
Which one do you want?
And then you add in the foreign policy that we talked about where you had a strong commander-in-chief and President Trump.
And I think people, when they just look at a back-to-back administration, I want President Trump back in the White House.
And then when you think about Tim Walz, you know what bugs me most about this guy is the snitch line.
The snitch, go rat on your neighbor if they're out walking their dog without a mask in your neighborhood.
Back during COVID, he wanted you to snitch on your neighbor.
That is disgusting to me.
And yet he was for that all the while he let Minneapolis and all the crazy things happen there in that summer of 2020.
Oh, no.
The police precinct was burned to the ground.
He wouldn't call in the National Guard, but his family did open up the windows to the family home so they could smell burning rubber from the rioting that was going on.
Kamala tweets out the Minnesota bail fund four days after the Minneapolis police precinct is burned to the ground and then goes on TV and says, well, the rioters aren't going to stop, shouldn't stop, and we're not going to stop.
Yeah.
I mean, again, I think the American people see the radical nature of the Harris-Walls ticket, and they know how good we had things under President Trump on all those key areas, the border, crime, energy policy, and, of course, just the price of the inflation that's been just record under Biden Harris.
So those are the things.
The facts are starting to kick in.
Now, we're past the joyous pep rally stage.
You know, everyone remembers in school, the pep rallies are great.
The cheerleaders are cheering.
The band's playing, and everybody's undefeated in the pep rally.
But then you've got to go play the game.
And that's a whole different story.
And right now, we're in the serious part of the game.
And I think J.D. is going to bring his A-game tonight.
He's done just an outstanding job, I think, as VP.
And by the way, we've talked about this, I think, Sean.
It was Tim Walz who started the whole weird stuff.
JD Vance, I mean, JD Vance came from the humblest of families.
He's a U.S. Marine, Ohio State grad, Yale law school, successful business guy, best-selling author, United States Senator from the seventh largest state, VP candidate on the Republican ticket, and he's only 40.
That is not weird in any way.
That is amazing.
That is the American story.
And if that's the kind of stuff he's going to say about J.D., I think J.D. is going to do so well tonight talking about the issues that matter to American families.
I'll say this about J.D.
I think he's very smart.
I expect he's going to have a good night tonight.
I would expect that.
I hope he talks about the radical Green New Deal that she co-sponsored with Bernie.
I hope she talks.
He talks about her plan for government health care, no option of private health insurance.
I hope he talks about no fracking and drilling.
I hope he talks about defund, dismantle, no bail laws she supports and he supports.
I hope he talks about, you know, decriminalizing illegal immigration, free housing, health care, food, education, sex change operations for illegal immigrants and a path to amnesty, citizenship.
I hope they talk about all of the people murdered by unvetted Harris Biden illegals, dozens of Americans, dozens of Americans raped, hundreds of Americans victims of violent crimes.
I hope they talk about the gangs that they've let in and have taken over cities and towns.
I hope they talk about the drug dealers and the fentanyl and the opioids and everything else in between.
If he prosecutes that case, I think he'll have a great night.
I do too.
And he's been doing a great job.
Not afraid to go on any interview with the big media, the left-wing media.
He's not afraid to take any debate, any question, unlike the other side.
So, yeah, we've all seen Senator Vance in action, and he is one sharp guy who I think has done a great job as our senator here in our great state and is going to be an outstanding vice president.
Yeah, I totally agree.
All right.
So have you talked to JD in recent days or no?
I haven't talked to him.
It's like a couple.
Well, it was funny.
I called him because I saw Sherrod Brown in the airport.
We were in Denver.
And Paulie and I are walking through the airport.
We're out there helping three candidates and we're helping a colleague and raise money and all.
And I saw Sherrod Brown.
And then I called, well, actually, I didn't call JD.
I called Bernie Marino after that and talked to him about Sherrod.
But I haven't talked to JD in a few weeks, but I think he's going to do an outstanding job.
Yeah, I hope so.
I really do.
As I mentioned, we now had 180 attack ballistic missiles fired into Israel today by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
I assume that this is in response to the death of the 32-year head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.
And I'm pretty certain that's what this is a direct response to.
I mean, think about this.
After the last time the Iranians attacked Israel, the Israelis penetrated so deep into Iran, it shocked me.
I didn't know they had that capability.
Then we watched the Iranians take out the number five guy in Hamas, the number four guy in Hamas, the number three guy in Hamas, the number two guy in Hamas.
And then they got the number one Hamas leader inside of Iran.
Amazing military might and a feat in our lifetime.
Then they took out the guy that was responsible for other terror attacks out of the north and Lebanon.
Now they got Nasrallah.
Anyway, Lindsey Graham has been with us, and he's been pointing out, rightly so, for the longest time, that all of this is because of Iran.
And Iran is the head of the snake.
And under Donald Trump, Iran was on the verge of bankruptcy because of the sanctions Donald Trump put in place.
Now Iran is a wealthy nation, the number one state sponsor of terror.
They are funding the Houthi rebels.
They are funding Hamas out of Gaza.
They are funding Hezbollah out of Lebanon.
And now they're firing missiles directly.
That makes it a forefront war against Israel.
And it's the toughest, meanest military on the face of the earth right now.
I always wish it's America, but I think our military has been weakened under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
But Senator Lindsey Graham joins us.
How are you, sir?
Good.
That's a good overview.
Yeah, we have been weakened.
And if you want to bring the world back to some sense of order, vote for Trump.
Well, it's true.
I think they fear Donald Trump.
I don't think they'd feel Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.
Well, I fear Donald Trump.
They should.
I mean, I fear him in all the good ways.
I mean, I really do believe when he killed Soleimani, who was the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who was an international terrorist designated, I think, in 2011, when he showed resolve to take him out because he thought he was going to attack Americans in Iraq.
That changed the game, along with isolating the regime.
and hitting them where they hurt the most in their pocketbook with oil sales.
When Trump left office, Sean, they were doing 300,000 barrels a day.
They're doing about 1.2 million barrels a day, the Iranians, and that's $80 billion they plowed into their war machine.
That is unbelievable, and they do it to foment terror.
Right.
Now, it was interesting after they took out Hamas's number one guy, the new Iranian president, according to reports, went to the, quote, supreme leader who had threatened retaliation against Israel and said, don't do it.
Right.
Now, we know the supreme leader is hiding in a bunker deep down in the ground somewhere in Iran, which is a huge landmass, which tells me that that guy is scared to death that he's likely the next target on Israel's list.
And based on their track record right now, I would say the odds are pretty high.
They probably have eyeballs on him somewhere.
Yeah, you know, you detail the pagers, you know, I don't know who did it, but if I were betting men, it probably was Israel.
The bottom line here is that when people are trying to kill you for decades, you get really good at defending yourself.
You know, October the 7th was designed to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Iran fears the Arabs in Israel doing peace.
President Trump got six Arab nations on his watch to recognize Israel.
The next step is Saudi Arabia, and Iran fears that the most.
So Israel, if I were Israel, here's what I would do.
I would put Biden on notice.
He's hit them hard in Hamas, Hezbollah, going after these organizations.
And now it's time to take it to downtown Iran because they could fire 1,000 missiles at once, and that could overwhelm Iredome.
So if I were the Israelis, I would take out one or two oil refineries to up the ante.
If you keep hitting me, I'm going to put you out of business.
Well, it seems to me if you cut off the money, you're going to cut off the flow of terror funds, and you cut off the flow of terror funds.
They can't be fighting proxy war after proxy war, right?
Yeah, you got it.
And we got two carrier task force strike groups.
I think it's Abraham Lincoln and maybe the Washington.
We got two aircraft carriers stationed in the Mediterranean in that area, but we don't have deterrence.
They're not really certain.
They really believe Iran does it.
Biden's never going to do anything.
If Donald Trump sent a rowboat over with a guy with a pistol, they would stop.
It doesn't matter how much force you have if the enemy doesn't believe you will use it.
And that was the magic of Donald Trump.
He didn't want to intervene in other people's business.
He wanted peace, but if you screwed with him, you paid a heavy price.
So until he comes back, it's going to be very dicey.
And if you want the world to stop all the crazy stuff, don't elect Kamala Harris.
She's weaker than Biden.
But I fear that our friends in Israel are going to have two problems.
More missile attacks, and Iran's going to see a nuclear weapon as their insurance policy.
They're losing Hamas and Hezbollah, their two terrorist proxies, along with the Houdis.
They're under siege.
So I fear they're going to break out and try to get a nuke before Trump gets in office.
Do you think they could possibly be that close?
And what are Americans to think when we hear that, you know, and I keep reading about Iranian assassination squads in our country out to kill Donald Trump on top of the other two assassination attempts?
Well, I'm going to write a letter to President Biden.
He has not said one word regarding Iran's brazen attempt to kill President Trump.
Now, this is public record.
I was briefed along with other senators about efforts Iran and other countries are taking to interfere with our election.
They've hacked into this campaign.
It's openly known now.
They're being trying to literally kill President Trump.
And President Biden hasn't said one word.
What he should say, an attack on any candidate, on any politician, would be an attack on America as a whole, and we will make you pay a heavy price.
Until Biden says that, I think this is going to get worse.
And what did Trump say?
If the Shu are on the other foot, if a Democratic opponent of mine was threatened by a foreign power, I'd let them know I'd flatten the place if you attacked him or her.
What's missing is deterrence.
Nobody in the world is afraid of Biden or Harris.
Where do you see the election?
And do you think this is going to be now a big election issue?
Because I would imagine in the days ahead, Israel is going to respond probably sooner than later.
Yeah, I hope it's not days.
Yeah, I do, Sean.
I think Americans are, all I can say is I know we don't want to get involved in other people's business.
And that's a good quality, not to be an adventurous nation because they're so powerful.
But there's sometimes you've got to hit them before they hit you.
Now, the Iranians want to purify Islam.
That's why the Arabs fear the Ayatollah.
They think he wants to take over Islam.
That's what he says.
They want to destroy all the Jews and come after us as infidels.
Their words, not mine.
So when the Taliban took over Afghanistan and we ignored it, we paid a heavy price.
So I would say to the American people, what Iran is doing to Israel, they would do to you if they could.
If they ever get a nuclear weapon, they'll use it.
The Ayatollah is a religious Nazi.
He literally wants to kill all the Jews.
He's trying to dominate Islam, and he's coming for us.
He's a religious fanatic.
I don't know why Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews, but he did.
He wrote a book.
Nobody believed him.
I believe the Ayatollah is a threat to the planet.
And if we don't help Israel now, we're going to be next.
I don't disagree with one word you said.
Let me play your Democratic colleagues attacking Israel, saying they're not going to send military aid and actually blaming Israel for the equivalent of losing 40,000 Israelis on October 7th.
Listen.
I made it clear that if they go into Rafah, they haven't gone on Rafah yet.
If they go into Rafah, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah.
Is the Biden administration positioned still that there should be zero conditions on aid, military aid to Israel?
I'm not going to get ahead of the president or decisions he might or might not make going forward.
He was very clear in his call with the prime minister that if we don't see some changes in their policies in Gaza and the way they're prosecuting operations, we're going to have to make some changes in our own genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials.
You've had words with Benjamin Netanyahu.
The president has had words with Benjamin Netanyahu.
At what point does the policy change?
Saying to Israel that in order to get military aid, you have to change your tax.
When does that happen?
I think we're at that point.
We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake.
A mistake, but would there be consequences if he does move forward?
Well, we're going to take it one step at a time, but we've been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen.
But we are seeing them hold back in the sending of weapons.
That's actually a pretty significant sign, given that the United States and Israel has a long-standing connection on military support, where the United States is a big provider of that.
Has the United States done that many times before, withheld the weapons?
Not many times before.
Each year, our country, and I say our country because it is our country, sends billions of dollars to maintain an apartheid government and support the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
It is disgraceful.
Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.
And we have got to get a deal done.
Hamas and the Palestinians who support and tolerate their evil ways, radical right-wing Israelis in government and society, President Abbas, Prime Minister Netanyahu.
These are the four obstacles to peace.
You know, it's unbelievable.
Then I'm watching, you know, Tony Wink and Blinken today say, oh, this is not acceptable.
What do you mean it's not acceptable?
What is the administration going to do?
They're just sitting back doing nothing, and they're the ones that empowered them to get rich because they turned a blind eye to the sanctions.
They gave sanction waivers for $10 billion payments from Iraq, and they wanted themselves to give a $6 billion ransom to Iran.
This is madness to me.
And they brought back the Iranian deal that will give them a nuclear weapon.
I wish everybody would listen to your show.
You know, when Austin and Biden say don't, people do.
The Iranians believe it's acceptable or they wouldn't do it.
Again, we got two aircraft carriers parked in the Mediterranean, and you don't see Iran being, you know, coward.
You don't see them being deterred.
It is about the resolve of the president in the eyes of your enemies.
If you really want to make the world a more stable place so we can travel and visit and do business throughout the world without being killed, then you need to vote for Donald Trump.
I know he can be a handful, but when he was president, I've never seen anything like it.
He got Mexico to change their policies because he's going to put tariffs on their products if they didn't help us with the border.
He had six Arab nations make peace with Israel because he stood up to Iran.
There's been no better friend of Israel than Donald Trump.
We had no war when he was president.
If you want to fix this, you have a chance in November to do it.
Take that chance.
Well, I hope people are listening and early voting has started.
And especially our friends in Georgia, our friends in South Carolina, our friends in North Carolina, our friends in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, our friends in Arizona, our friends in Nevada.
Those are the states that will determine the outcome of this election.
Senator Lindsey Graham, appreciate you.
It's a pretty scary times we're living in.
I'll tell you that.
