Highland of jail on her.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
As I was saying.
Oh, I love that.
I love that chart.
I love that graph.
I'm in constant contact with her.
We're singing from the same song sheet.
Her staff is interlocked with mine.
To think of any law that gives the government the power to make a decision.
I know what you're gonna ask about a man's body.
No.
No.
Only 26 days left until the presidential election.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Don't play our guitar saying you will conscious song.
From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Hannity is on.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, 26 days until election day.
Early voting now in many states around the country, Commonwealth around the country.
As a public service, every state listed how to register to vote when early voting starts, when it stops.
Also, as a public service, the Kamala files Kamala in her own radical words and the walls files him in his own radical words.
And then you get to decide.
One of the issues that is absolutely emerged is the utter, complete incompetence of Harris and Biden when it comes to the response to Hurricane Helene.
I'm not sure what the response is going to be.
I don't even think Governor DeSantis is going to count on a lot from the federal government, to be honest.
I mean, do you know he had 50,000 men and utility trucks staged preparing for what they thought was going to be worse with Hurricane Milton last night?
Still, it was still bad.
It just went a little bit south at the end, and it wasn't the big storm that they thought would hit Tampa.
Uh although Tampa got socked again pretty hard, and Sarasota and Fort Myers and Naples got hit pretty hard.
There's been a lot of storm surge and and flooding, etc.
And, you know, in the middle of all of this, I have Governor DeSantis, you know, telling us all the preparations he did.
We had Governor Kemp on telling us all the preparations he did.
I'd been in touch with the South Carolina Governor McMasters, all the preparations he did, the only preparations that weren't done or was anybody in North Carolina.
And Joe Biden, you know, five days after saying everybody has everything they need, when in fact we know from people that have been on the ground, including our own Sarah Carter, that that is absolutely false.
That just the opposite was happening.
That these rural areas were being completely and totally ignored and abandoned by their federal government in what was the worst response to a hurricane in the history of the country, and Donald Trump made that point.
Listen.
You know what's more important about her?
She's just led the worst rescue operation in history in North Carolina.
The worst.
The one in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia.
It was uh pieces of Florida got hit.
I mean, it's incredible.
Uh worst, the worst ever, they say, they had no money.
You know where they gave the money?
To illegal immigrants coming in, many of whom are killers, many of whom are drug dealers, many of whom are gang members, and many of whom came out of prisons from all over the world.
And what did we learn afterwards?
We learn that Kamala Harris never once attended a single hurricane preparedness meeting until just this past week.
And she's asking her aides with her hands over her mouth with an open mic, uh, what should I be asking?
This person doesn't even know what to ask.
He has no idea.
And then picking a fight with both President Trump and then Governor DeSantis to DeSantis wasn't having it.
Period end of sentence.
And she tries to insert herself and claim that she called him and he's like, nobody in my office got a call from anybody from Kamala's campaign.
Not one person did.
And then we find out about FEMA.
Well first we hear five or six days after Hurricane Helene that it's running out of hurricane relief money.
And then we find out that over a billion dollars was diverted to Harris Biden unvetted illegal immigrants.
Now we're learning that well maybe some of the survivors will be put in some of the the areas that they put aside for Harris Biden illegals.
I guess they'll just move them to another state which is what they do always is now nearly twelve and a half million of them.
I mean it's just the most incompetent inept you know disaster relief we've ever seen in our entire life.
And remember how the news media reacted two days after Hurricane Katrina, you know, just lashing out at George W. Bush who had nothing to do with the levees breaking there and he actually flew over New Orleans because he didn't want to go on the ground and and and move and and take away any of the resources that would otherwise be used for you know rescue efforts that were going on on the ground.
Anyway, Newt Gingrich is with us, former Speaker of the House, author of the bestselling book March to the Majority.
And anyway, let's talk about the handling of Hurricane Helene and the disaster that this has been for them.
And now there's it.
You know, we're now two weeks later and they're just mad that they got exposed for not doing anything, but diverting money to their illegal immigrants and for also, you know, having Mayorkas go out there.
there and say that we don't have any money left and we're running out of money.
Well look let me just start with the notion that everything you need to know about Kamala Harris and hurricanes is the fact that unlike President Trump and Vice President Pence both of whom took an annual hurricane briefing process every single year.
She she learned nothing did nothing attended nothing uh and of course was campaigning raising money on the West Coast uh while Helene was who was a hitting uh Florida and then moving north through Georgia and the Carolinas and on into Tennessee and Virginia.
So uh I mean she she was just has not been part of this is totally irresponsible.
And of course uh President Biden was uh sitting uh on the beach in Delaware um and not directly engaged despite as he put it being on the phone um but I also went back uh well and she was in Hollywood raising money and they never lifted a finger for an entire week.
They just ignored these people and the in the first week do you realize they only spent four million dollars?
That's it.
Yeah well the Mallorca was in Los Angeles at an award ceremony.
I mean so you can't make this up there let me let me ask you this question because you your background actually is is one that is very diversified and you were the co-chair of a group the business business executives for national security and you it was a working group that responded to a congressional request after the disaster that was Katrina.
So something like that would never happen again.
Now what has happened here in my view is is far worse than the response of Katrina.
Anyway you spent a year reviewing how to deliver emergency aid dramatically faster more efficiently more effectively than the traditional bureaucracy.
Now obviously Harris and Biden learn nothing.
Well I mean first of all I have to say I went back and reviewed we did this 17 years ago and it's very discouraging to realize that the the FEMA bureaucracy ignored virtually every recommendation.
Let me give you the most obvious and simplest Walmart, Costco, Target, and the big grocery companies all know how to move things they all know how to preposition things.
They can all bring supplies in immediately there's no pattern and we and we strongly recommended that we rethink the entire process to start with the big ongoing systems and think of Amazon think of FedEx and UPS.
The fact is if you rely on federal bureaucrats, nine to five, the decent people.
I'm not I'm not saying that the average working female person is a bad person, but they operate inside a bureaucracy.
They worry about following rules that don't work.
They're only going to go where they're directed to go.
You know, we have we had a situation in North Carolina where you had to have helicopters because so many of the mountain towns were cut off bridges down, roads down, etc.
Well, we have 5500, 5,005 military helicopters in the United States.
We have major bases in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina.
It shouldn't be that hard to surge literally within hours, enough helicopters to make a huge difference.
Instead, I found myself through my good friend Bill Fortune who lives in Black Mountain, I ended up talking with the volunteer civilians who brought their own personal helicopters, and they organized seventy five helicopters of volunteers before the military even showed up.
And they were out delivering food, delivering water, picking up medical cases, doing it by the way I need to add one thing because I I had these guys on the program.
What's the what's the name of the website?
Operation Hilo dot org.
Okay.
These guys are phenomenal.
They had nearly a hundred helicopters.
They were doing four hundred runs a day.
They were paying for the fuel themselves.
They were rescuing the people and nobody from the federal government showed up for over a week, Mr. Speaker, not one person.
Right.
So I mean this this is this is Afghanistan times a hundred except this time everybody's an American.
I mean think about it we we've in effect the Biden Harris team abandoned the people of North Carolina and the people of the mountains in Virginia and Tennessee and part of South Carolina and Georgia.
They were just they were we still have places that we're only now getting to and frankly the rebuilding process is going to be enormous and complex and they ought to take it totally out of the traditional federal bureaucracy and figure out a way to set it up with very aggressive entrepreneurial executives and do it at the speed of business not at the speed of bureaucracy.
You see but you're not understanding the priorities of Harris and Biden because remember they took over a billion dollars and it's on FEMA's website and they diverted it to the shelter and services program which offers financial support to provide humanitarian services to non-citizen migrants.
They took a billion plus dollars from that.
You obviously have not read FEMA's program and DEI policies.
FEMA's quote shelter and it's called FEMA's equity for emergency response.
This is goal number one of the Harris Biden FEMA emergency response.
Goal number one and still equity is a foundation of emergency management.
Diversity, equity and inclusion cannot be optional.
They must be core components of how the agency conducts it.
itself internally FEMA's leadership is required and their workforce are required to demonstrate an increased commitment to integrating diversity equity and inclusion their second goal lead the whole of the community in climate resilience then they get into climate change so you have a very different priority which is saving lives rescuing people helping to rebuild lives and their their top two goals are climate change and DEI.
Well what but why would you think that Kamala Harris would want to favor patriotic medium Americans I mean here she has a chance to favor 20 million illegal immigrants who came in under her watch when she's supposed to stop it.
She has a chance to favor a Venezuelan gang which is bringing organized crime into a frightening number of American cities she has a chance to uh go out there and and fight to get more money for people who are here illegally uh why would she want to turn to remember these these folks in the mountains are mostly conservative.
They're very patriotic.
They're very committed to America.
I mean, these are not the kind of people that you know what they they all made a mistake, Mr. Speaker.
If they were if they just would have said they were illegal immigrants, they would have gotten free housing, food, health care, education, uh legal driver's licenses, free college, uh if they wanted a sex change operation.
You raised a good and amnesty.
They would have gotten it all.
Maybe the House maybe the House Republicans could introduce a bill uh designating all victims of hurricanes as the equivalent of illegal immigrants uh and placed first at the line of help for illegal immigrants uh who would certainly be getting a lot more than seven hundred and fifty dollars uh that that's a that's one and a half nights in New York City taking care of an illegal immigrant um I mean the whole th this is I I believe this is first of all it's a human tragedy.
Forget the politics the towns that have been cut off the people who have died the communities that are in risk of being destroyed this is an enormous human tragedy and it deserves a leadership of a country that is committed to fixing it not committed to playing politics with it.
And as you know from the whole exchange with Governor DeSantis who had done an amazing job of preparing Florida and has proven what a great manager he is um he he himself basically made the point.
Kamala Harris's only interest in hurricane victims is politics.
How does it affect her campaign?
But she had never had any interest according to DeSantis she'd never had any interest in any of the hurricanes that hit Florida during the year she was vice president.
Not once talk about dereliction of duty.
Well it really is a dereliction of duty and then and then they're mad if you point out all the things that we've discussed.
If you if you point out what's on FEMA's website, if you point out that they they redirected funds to illegals, if you point out Major's own words that they don't have enough money for hurricane season, you know, how dare you be critical of FEMA I mean FEMA's own head was on one of the program uh programs this weekend and it was echoed by the media and echoed by Joe and Kamala themselves that it's dangerous if you dare criticize their horrific response.
It's dangerous to do so.
You mean to tell the truth is dangerous now?
It it is if you're a left wing doctor I mean the the tr the truth won't unlike the CIA uh statement that the truth shall send you free the truth will wipe them out.
Uh I mean that that's why she dances she can't tell the truth on television because she will be repudiated by the American people if they understand what she really believes.
Yeah.
Anyway Mr. Speaker we do appreciate you as always 800 nine four one Sean is our number uh if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh I hope Americans are paying attention because this is the incompetence you'll get for the next four years and I I think the country will become unrecognizable if her radical extremism as stated in her own words is ever implemented.
All right Captain Sam Brown joins us now.
Captain welcome aboard thank you for being with us by the way you were pretty severely injured in your service time what happened?
You know Sean uh I appreciate you having me on and yes this race is uh one of the most critical Senate races but like my service started right after nine eleven um as part of this new generation of of outsiders and and also uh fresh new leaders I I started at West Point in two thousand two right after nine eleven and uh had an opportunity to lead troops in Afghanistan in two thousand eight when um some other friendly troops came under fire and what are we supposed to do?
We're supposed to run to the sound of the guns.
And so we go to support.
A roadside bomb blew up underneath our vehicle.
I lost one of my soldiers.
Four of us were wounded, sustained major burns.
But the greatest lesson I learned that day, Sean, is that when someone who happened to be me at that moment feels like there's no hope left, it's not just the sound of someone's voice that saves our life.
It's action.
And I learned that when my troops came running to me.
they risked themselves to save my life that day and I'm I I owe it to this country.
I owe it to my soldiers it's a duty for me to put myself to take action on behalf of this country just as President Trump.
There hasn't been another president in years that takes as much Incoming as he does, but you took a different kind of incoming.
I mean, you're only forty years old, combat veteran.
I mean, you had massive burn injuries, which are some of the most painful anyone could go through.
I know because my sister used to take care of burn patients.
She's a registered nurse, and this happened in two thousand and eight.
It was a roadside bomb that exploded under your vehicle's fuel tank in Afghanistan.
Uh how long did it take you to recover from that?
You know, Sean, it was three years.
And I'm not gonna lie.
Um the hardest part of that was having lost my personal identity because my face was badly, badly burned.
In fact, I've had more surgery than our Kardashian to get back to looking halfway decent.
But uh in the midst of that, I met a young first lieutenant army dietitian who worked in the ICU.
Her name was Amy Larson, and she she loved me when I had a hard time seeing how anyone could love me.
Um we've been married now for 15 years.
We've got three children, um, a thirteen year old son, eleven year old daughter, and a nine year old son.
And you know, Amy also taught me what it is to to believe in someone's potential.
When I lost my personal identity, I lost my professional identity as a soldier.
I thought I was never gonna have an identity as a husband or a father.
Uh Amy believed in me.
And and I tell you, you know, Sean, if if if folks want to know more about Amy and I've story, in fact, she she has had her own story of recovering from trauma.
She had an abortion the same month I got blown up in Afghanistan.
And we didn't know each other before that.
But she's recovered from that as well.
And if people are interested in reading more about that and finding hope that we found, they can read our book.
It's called A Live Day.
Um, you can get it on Amazon.
Um and and our hope is that other people are inspired to push through suffering and find hope within within themselves and and peace from God.
Um and and that's a personal journey, but we also have a journey to save this country.
Let's talk about what this race in Nevada is all about.
No tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime.
I mean, a lot of benefits for service workers in your state, um, because it's a ha it's a state with a lot of uh service industry in it.
Obviously, the gaming industry is a big part of it.
And how is that resonating?
And how are you doing in the polls against your democratic opponent?
I believe you're up against Jackie Rosen.
That's right.
It it's it's and it's incredible policy for the people.
It's four folks who who have been crushed by the economic policy of of Harris and Biden.
Jackie Rosen voted along with all of uh Biden's uh spending to add it to the higher costs, and it's got a ninety percent approval rating with Nevadans.
And I tell you what, President Trump, you know, rightfully uh led on that on behalf of these Americans who who frankly I talked to parents who are skipping meals or having to go to food banks so that their kids can eat.
I talked to seniors who should be enjoying the r the dignity of retirement who are having to go back to work.
It's this sort of relief, you know, eliminating taxes on social security benefits, eliminating taxes on tips.
Uh that's so good.
And I tell you, I'll tell you what's amazing is to see the shift in voters, not only for President Trump, but for me.
Both President Trump and I are now leading our opponents, that'd be Harris, in my case, Rosen, by over 20 points with Hispanic voters.
This race is is so tight, but we are the champions for for working Americans and people who still believe that the American dream is worth fighting for.
Yeah, no, I totally agree.
Uh, how come people learn more about your campaign and maybe they want to uh be a part of what you're doing and you know, your life story is beyond inspiring, and uh thank you so much for your service to your country.
We wish you the best out there.
Uh right now it is a statistical tie in your state of Nevada, and and I'd love to see you in the uh U.S. Senate and pull this out and uh President Trump take the state as well.
And it's definitely it's definitely right there for the taking, and I hope the people the in the service industry understand that life's gonna be a lot better under Donald Trump's economic policies than uh Kamala Harris's.
That's right, Sean.
Look, I mean I started as a volunteer in 2020 knocking on doors, And to be running along with President Trump now is just so humbling.
Uh, people can join me in this effort at Captain Sam Brown dot com or send in Sam.com.
Uh let's let's just rally from across the country.
We're gonna finish this race with a victory.
And for those who need inspiration, go find a live day on Amazon and read that book and share it with others.
Yeah, I think that's great.
We really appreciate you know what you're doing.
And uh anyway, uh thanks so much for being with us.
Wish you the best, Captain Sam Brown, 800-941 Sean.
We'll continue to watch very, very closely.
Uh let's say hi to Robert, North Carolina.
Robert, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
Glad you called.
Thank you, Mr. Hannity.
Um, yeah.
So I work two jobs.
My Tuesday, I deliver pizza to the Nashville Garden Armory in Taylorsville, North Carolina.
When once I delivered a pizza, the layout came out saying thank you, thank you, thank you.
But is there any way you can go get me a space here?
Because some of our boys are sleeping in the trucks and there's no heat.
I said, ma'am, I'll do better.
I'll give you two space eaters and extension quartz.
Wow.
That's that's so awesome.
You know what the real untold story?
There are two stories out of North Carolina.
One is good and one is awful.
The good story are people like you.
The good story are neighbor helping neighbor.
The good story is Samaritan's Purse and the the HELO flight guys that we had on the program the other day.
Uh the good story is, you know, the American people have donated generously.
And the horrible story, it is the worst hurricane response.
I mean, we found eleven members of one family dead that that they hadn't known about that just got reported.
I just saw it for the first time today.
And that the government, they just don't care.
And Kamala Harris was out in Hollywood.
Joe sat his ass on the beach, and the people in your state of North Carolina have been suffering ever since, and Joe Biden proclaiming, oh, no pa everybody's got everything they need and everybody's happy.
And Kamala Harris is is picking fights with Ron DeSantis rather than handing out you know uh bottles of water and food and supplies and ensuring more than four million dollars in week one gets distributed to people that are fighting for their lives, and the rescue efforts were pathetic on behalf of the federal government.
It's a disgusting repulsive disgrace.
And for those of you that put your faith in government, well, look at the government's response in the rural parts of North Carolina that were just decimated, and you know, people bring supplies with horses and mules.
Well, I mean, what what century are we living in here when we have helicopters and we have a military that could have been deployed immediately?
Mr. Hannity, so last night I went to my church to drop off local supplies, and I was talking to my preacher.
He was telling me that he has a state trooper buddy that was escorting four tractor trailer loads to Marion, North Carolina.
Roy Cooper found out.
And he said, No, I want that stuff that's going to marry it.
Send to Asville.
So you're basically saying that they took stuff away from rural areas and they brought it over to Asheville.
Well, weren't both areas hit hard though?
Yes, both areas.
Cooper don't care because it was a blue.
So yeah, he only he only wants to help a democra more democratic area.
Is that what you're suggesting?
Yes, that's what they're doing.
I mean let me let me tell you what Cooper didn't do.
He didn't do what McMaster did in South Carolina.
He didn't do what Brian Kemp did in Georgia.
He didn't do what Ron DeSantis did in Florida.
He didn't stage anything, and he wasn't prepared, and he didn't go out there and publicly scream and yell and demand that Harris and Biden get their ass in there and do their job.
And Donald Trump hit the ground first, and Donald Trump called Elon Musk and he got communications uh set up in some of these rural areas that would have been set up had Biden and Harris not hated Elon Musk so much and denied him the opportunity to put it up prior to the hurricane ever arriving.
All right, listen though, Robert, I have to run.
I do appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Want to remind you about Simply Safe.
Who are you gonna ask if you need a security system in your house?
Well, maybe one of the you know first l people on the list would be people in Law enforcement.
One veteran officer recently wrote to Simply Safe, thanking them because he has peace of mind every time he leaves his home, knowing that he's safe.
I've been using Simply Safe for years, and I have the same exact feeling.
And the best part is they get better and better, and their technology advances further and further.
They have their fast protect monitoring and live guard protection.
Let me tell you how this works.
Simply Safe agents can act within five seconds of receiving your alarm, and they can even see and speak to intruders and stop them right there in their tracks.
And you get all of this for less than a dollar a day.
And there's no hidden fee.
And you can install activate Simply Safe in less than an hour or have a pro do it for you.
And right now, you can protect your home with 50% off a new Simply Safe system.
They'll also give you a free indoor security camera when you sign up for what I have, which is the most advanced technology, the fast protect monitoring.
You simply just go to their website.com slash Hannity.
S-I-M-P-L-I-S-A-F-E safe, simply safe.com slash Hannity, because there's no safe like Simply Safe.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
We'll be right back.
Our political guru Mark Halperin is saying something Democrats don't want to hear.
He's hardly a conservative, but he's warning that the internal numbers that he's seeing in Democratic ranks, and these are polls that he trusts.
They're not they're not looking good for Kamala Harris.
He's saying it, not me.
Listen.
For you Harris people on here complaining that we're talking about problems in the Harris campaign.
You're welcome to put your head in the sand about it.
If you want to go watch MSNBC Primetime and hear how great things are going for the Harris campaign, you're welcome to do that.
But if you want to understand what's actually happening, we're here to tell you.
I just saw some new private polling today.
That's very robust private polling.
She's in a lot of trouble.
Here's how I framed it this morning in my newsletter.
The conversation I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours.
Extremely bullish.
Which ones is Harris in danger of losing?
I would say Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia.
I'm not saying she'll lose all six, but she's in danger.
The only one that the Democrats say she's not in danger of losing is the one I never say the name of because I can't pronounce it.
But it's where Las Vegas is, right?
You guys agree with me.
She could lose any of those six, right?
I mean, she could lose all seven.
But Democrats will tell you they're worried about this those six.
They're less worried about the seventh.
Yeah, I don't know any Trump person who says they're worried about losing any of the seven.
All right, when we come back, we'll check in with our friends, Robert Caheli of the Trafalgar Group and Insider Advantages Matt Towery.
Our pollsters are next as we continue 26 days till election day.
