	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	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 about a man's body.
	No.
	No.
	The clock is ticking.
	Only 26 days left until the presidential election.
	Here we have come in to your city.
	Come and play our guitars and sing you a country song.
	From coast to coast.
	From border to border.
	From sea to shining sea.
	Sean Hennedy 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, Commonwealths 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 has 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?
	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, 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 flooding, et cetera.
	And in the middle of all of this, I have Governor DeSantis telling us all the preparations he did.
	We had Governor Kemp on telling us all the preparations he did.
	I've been in touch with the South Carolina Governor McMasters, all the preparations he did.
	The only preparations that weren't done 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.
	And we have another big one coming in, but the worst, the one in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, was pieces of Florida got hit.
	I mean, it's incredible.
	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 learned 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, which would I'm asking this person?
	She doesn't even know what to ask.
	She has no idea.
	And then picking a fight with both President Trump and then Governor DeSantis.
	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 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.
	There's now nearly 12.5 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 move and take away any of the resources that would otherwise be used for rescue efforts that were going on on the ground.
	Anyway, Newt Gingrich is with us, former Speaker of the House, author of the best-selling 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 we're now two weeks later, and they're just mad that they got exposed for not doing anything, for diverting money to their illegal immigrants, and for also having Majorca go out 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 learned nothing, did nothing, attended nothing, and, of course, was campaigning, raising money on the West Coast while Helene was hitting Florida and then moving north through Georgia and the Carolinas and on into Tennessee and Virginia.
	So, I mean, she was just has not been part of this.
	She's totally irresponsible.
	And of course, President Biden was sitting on the beach in Delaware and not directly engaged, despite, as he put it, being on the phone.
	But I also went back.
	Well, and she was in Hollywood raising money, and they never lifted a finger for an entire week.
	They just ignored these people.
	And in the first week, do you realize they only spent $4 million?
	That's it.
	Well, a Mayorker was in Los Angeles at an award ceremony.
	You can't make this up.
	Let me ask you this question because your background actually is one that is very diversified.
	And you were the co-chair of a group, the Business Executives for National Security.
	And 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 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 learned nothing.
	Well, 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 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 pre-position things.
	They can all bring supplies in immediately.
	There's no pattern.
	And we strongly recommended that we rethink the entire process to start with the big ongoing systems.
	I mean, think of Amazon or think of FedEx and UPS.
	The fact is, if you rely on federal bureaucrats, nine to five, decent people, I'm not saying that the average working FEMA 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 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, et cetera.
	Well, we have 5,500, 5,500 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 75 helicopters of volunteers before the military even showed up.
	And they were out delivering food, delivering water, picking up medical cases, doing it the same.
	By the way, I need to add one thing because I had these guys on the program.
	What's the name of the website?
	OperationHelo.org.
	Okay, these guys are phenomenal.
	They had nearly 100 helicopters.
	They were doing 400 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 is Afghanistan times 100, except this time everybody's an American.
	I mean, think about it.
	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, 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, instill equity as a foundation of emergency management.
	Diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot be optional.
	They must be core components of how the agency conducts 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 top two goals are climate change and DEI.
	But why would you think that Kamala Harris would want to favor patriotic need Americans?
	I mean, here she has a chance to favor 20 million illegal immigrants who came in under her watch when she was supposed to stop them.
	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 go out there and fight to get more money for people who are here illegally.
	Why would she want to turn to, remember, 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 just would have said they were illegal immigrants, they would have gotten free housing, food, health care, education, legal driver's licenses, free college, if they wanted a sex change operation and amnesty.
	They would have gotten it all.
	Maybe the House Republicans introduced a bill designating all victims of hurricanes as the equivalent of illegal immigrants and placed first at the line of help for illegal immigrants, who would certainly be getting a lot more than $750.
	That's one and a half nights in New York City taking care of an illegal immigrant.
	I mean, the whole, this is, 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 the 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, he himself basically made the point.
	Kamala Harris's only interest in hurricane victims is politics.
	How does it affect her campaign?
	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 years she was vice president.
	Not once.
	Talk about dereliction of duty.
	Well, it really is a dereliction of duty.
	And then they're mad if you point out all the things that we've discussed.
	If you point out what's on FEMA's website, if you point out that they redirected funds to illegals, if you point out Majorkis' 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 programs this weekend, and it was echoed by the media and echoed by Joe and Kamala themselves.
	And 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 is if you're a left-wing doctrine.
	I mean, the truth will, unlike the CIA statement that the truth shall set you free, the truth will wipe them out.
	I mean, 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.
	800-941, Sean is our number.
	If you want to be a part of the program, I hope Americans are paying attention because this is the incompetence you'll get for the next four years.
	And 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, I appreciate you having me on.
	And yes, this race is one of the most critical Senate races.
	But look, my service started right after 9-11 as part of this new generation of outsiders and also fresh new leaders.
	I started at West Point in 2002, right after 9-11, and had an opportunity to lead troops in Afghanistan in 2008 when 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.
	I 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 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 40 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 2008.
	It was a roadside bomb that exploded under your vehicle's fuel tank in Afghanistan.
	How long did it take you to recover from that?
	You know, Sean, it was three years.
	And I'm not going to lie.
	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 a Kardashian to get back to looking halfway decent.
	But in the midst of that, I met a young first lieutenant, Army dietician who worked in the ICU.
	Her name was Amy Larson.
	And she loved me when I had a hard time seeing how anyone could love me.
	We've been married now for 15 years.
	We've got three children, a 13-year-old son, an 11-year-old daughter, and a nine-year-old son.
	And, you know, Amy also taught me what it is 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 going to have an identity as a husband or a father.
	Amy believed in me.
	And I tell you, Sean, if folks want to know more about Amy and I's story, in fact, 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.
	You can get it on Amazon.
	And our hope is that other people are inspired to push through suffering and find hope within themselves and peace from God.
	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 because it's a state with a lot of 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.
	And it's an incredible policy for the people.
	It's for folks who have been crushed by the economic policy of Harris and Biden.
	Jackie Rosen voted along with all of Biden's spending to add it to the higher costs.
	And it's got a 90% approval rating with Nevadans.
	And I tell you what, President Trump rightfully led on that on behalf of these Americans who, frankly, I talk to parents who are skipping meals or having to go to food banks so that their kids can eat.
	I talk to seniors who should be enjoying the dignity of retirement, who are having to go back to work.
	It's this sort of relief, eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, eliminating taxes on tips that's so good.
	And 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 so tight, but we are the champions for working Americans and people who still believe that the American dream is worth fighting for.
	Yeah, no, I totally agree.
	How can people learn more about your campaign?
	And maybe they want to be a part of what you're doing.
	And, you know, your life story is beyond inspiring.
	And thank you so much for your service to your country.
	We wish you the best out there.
	Right now, it is a statistical tie in your state of Nevada.
	And I'd love to see you in the U.S. Senate and pull this out and President Trump take the state as well.
	And it's definitely right there for the taking.
	And I hope the people in the service industry understand that life's going to be a lot better under Donald Trump's economic policies than 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.
	People can join me in this effort at captainsambrown.com or sendinsam.com.
	Let's just rally from across the country.
	We're going to 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 what you're doing.
	And anyway, 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.
	Let's say hi to Robert, North Carolina.
	Robert, you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
	Glad you called.
	Thank you, Mr. Hannity.
	Yeah, so I work two jobs.
	My Tuesday, I deliver pizza to the Nassau Guard Armory in Taylorsville, North Carolina.
	Launch I delivered a pizza.
	The layer 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 heaters and extension cords.
	Wow.
	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 Hilo flight guys that we had on the program the other day.
	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 11 members of one family dead 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, everybody's got everything they need and everybody's happy.
	And Kamala Harris is picking fights with Ron DeSantis rather than handing out, you know, bottles of water and food and supplies and ensuring more than $4 million 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 bringing supplies with horses and mules.
	I mean, what century are we living in here when we have helicopters and we have a military that could have been deployed immediately?
	Mr. Hennedy, 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 tracts of trailer loads to Marion, North Carolina.
	Roy Cooper found out and he said, no, I want that stuff that's going to Marion sent to Asheville.
	So you're basically saying that they took stuff away from rural areas and they brought it over to Asheville.
	Weren't both areas hit hard, though?
	Yes, both areas.
	Cooper don't care because Ashley was a blue.
	Oh, so he only wants to help the more Democratic area.
	Is that what you're suggesting?
	Yes, that's what they're doing.
	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 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.
	I want to remind you about Simply Safe.
	Who are you going to ask if you need a security system in your house?
	Well, maybe one of the first 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 liveguard 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 SimplySafe system.
	They 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.
	It's simply safe.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.
	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 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 if it'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.
	You think of the seven battleground states, 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 those six.
	They're less worried about the seven.
	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 Cahilli of the Trafalgar Group and Insider Advantages Matt Towery.
