This is an iHeart Podcast.
Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be?
And what would say the same?
Sure.
Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden.
A new generation of leadership with Kamala Harris.
We've got 25 days to work together to make a difference for the next 40 years.
The clock is ticking.
Hard to believe, but there's only 22 days until election day.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and say you are conscious.
From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Kennedy is on.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Channel.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, it'll be three weeks from tomorrow.
It'll be November 5th.
It will be Election Day in America, and it is an inflection point for our country.
I can't think of a more pivotal tipping point election in my lifetime.
And it is a little bit nerve-wracking.
Everybody I run into, and it doesn't matter where I am, whether I'm out grocery shopping, you know, filling my car of gas, or just hiding out and people just texting me day and night, all night, all day, never stops, never ends.
People are obviously concerned about the future of their country.
And I actually like that part.
I like the fact that people are engaged.
I like the fact that people are worried.
Let me give an admonition.
Even though I'll give you some polling data from now until Election Day, I don't want any of it to impact you emotionally or impact what you're going to do or not do.
In other words, I don't want people to get complacent.
Remember in 2022, we were told we were going to have a red wave.
It didn't materialize.
It didn't happen.
I think the issue, now that Americans have gone through the demagoguing of now four years on the overturning of Roe v.
Wade, I think, you know, the state of Ohio is probably the perfect place and point of state and point.
It's a red state.
Donald Trump will win by nine or ten points is my guess.
I hope that Bernie Moreno wins in the Senate there.
It's a very tight race.
It's literally a neck and neck between Bernie Moreno and 100% Harris supporter and Biden supporter, and that would be Sherrod Brown.
And I just hope the people in Ohio understand that if Donald Trump becomes president, he's going to need a Republican Senate and Republican House.
I hope people just understand.
And I hope you look at this election this way.
I hope everybody thinks that their vote is the deciding vote in the election.
Because even if you look at the polls, I mean, every single swing state, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, all of them are within the margin of error.
All of them, every single one of them.
Now, anecdotally, I can give you things that encourage me that would be the opposite of what happened to the red wave in 2022.
For example, at this point in 2020, Joe Biden was up over seven points head to head against Donald Trump.
And I think Hillary was up about nine points around this time in 2016.
And right now, it is a 1.7-point race when you look at the real clear politics average.
If you actually look at the swing state average and you compare it to years 2020 and 2016 and where we are today, top battleground states, you know, Donald Trump compared to 2020, for example, is five points higher, polling five points higher.
It could actually, you know, or actually the Real Clear Politics National Average, he's actually 8.6 points higher than he was.
There were polls that came out just days by major networks before the 2020 election that had Donald Trump losing by double digits.
CBS NBC come to mind.
So these polls can be all over the place.
Don't let it impact what you think is the right thing to do, what you believe is important.
And I say that as, you know, a lot of things are unfolding that I am frankly stunned and a little bit shocked by.
It's been 84 days.
Kamala Harris has yet to do a formal press conference.
She has not been asked the list of questions that we have put out again and again and again.
I won't go through them all now in the course of the program.
I'm sure a lot of it will come up.
And she's sending out surrogates like Gretchen Whitmer and Barack Obama and now even Bill Clinton, and they are hurting her campaign.
The tensions between Harris and Biden teams have never been this tense ever, and especially in the final weeks before Election Day.
And by the way, one report cites 10 people familiar with the situation telling Axios Biden's team wants Harris to win, but many senior Biden aides remain angry that the president was pushed out of his reelection bid and that they've only been putting it, hasn't even had a supporting role on the campaign trail.
And some on the Harris team are angry that the Biden White House aren't sufficiently coordinating Biden's messaging and schedule to align with what's best for the vice president.
I mean, one disaster that came out was she decided to take on Governor Ron DeSantis.
You want to pick a fight with my governor?
Good luck with that.
He's somebody that is going to win that fight.
And especially when she had never once picked up a phone ever to call him in all the years he's been governor.
He's now in his second term when a hurricane was coming down on the state of Florida and then claims that she called him and he never got a call.
Nobody on his staff ever had gotten a call.
And then Biden goes out there and then she goes out publicly trashing Ron DeSantis for playing politics and Governor DeSantis never even got the call and has never gotten a call from her.
That didn't particularly help her.
Her being missing in action in North Carolina, South Carolina, in Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida, you know, from the hurricane.
And then we learn about FEMA.
You know, Mayorka is telling us that FEMA's, you know, we don't have enough hurricane relief funds available, that we're running out of money.
And then that's followed up by a billion dollars we find out that was taken out of FEMA's coffers and given to Harris-Biden illegal immigrants.
Well, that angers people.
When nobody shows up from the government for a week in some of the remote areas in North Carolina and Georgia, well, that angers people.
When you tell the governor of Georgia, who asked for 90 counties to be declared disaster areas, and Governor Kemp is asking nicely, and you only declare 11, and then when he goes back a second time, you only declare 30 more, and it took another phone call.
But Biden is contradicting everything that Harris is saying as it relates to Ron DeSantis and hurricane relief.
And actually, when she's out on the road, he's doing his events and doing his job as president, if you will, if he's even really in charge.
But anyway, so that's that's happening.
Uh, we had Gretchen Whitmer in that fiasco when she put on Instagram that has really offended Catholics.
Uh, we have Barack Obama is just being excoriated in his messaging.
This was in Pennsylvania, I believe, last week.
And he went out there and he said, you know, that African American, well, first he was walking into the event, and this is what he said on his way in: why Kamala Harris isn't getting African-American support.
Listen, makes me think I'm speaking to men directly.
Part of it makes me think that, well, you deserve the feeling that the other man won't express.
And you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for it.
The women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time.
They've been raising us and working and having our backs.
And when we get in trouble, the school is not working for us.
They're the ones who are out there marching and protesting.
We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.
Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.
More pronounced with the brothers, is what he said.
And then we actually put him in reverse.
The second was during the actual speech where he's suggesting, well, maybe that they that they don't that African-American men don't want to vote for a woman as president.
That has really pissed people off.
I mean, the number of people, I mean, he's being slammed by African-American men after his attack on quote unacceptable brothers that are impacting Kamala Harris.
And it has angered a lot of Democrats, not just Obama.
And anyway, there's an article.
Well, this is just reflective of one person, but his name is Adam Coleman, writing for the New York Post.
No thanks, Obama.
This black man's going to make up his own mind and not be shamed into voting for Kamala Harris.
And Gretchen Whitmer then having to walk back that idiotic video of Doritos that she did, seemingly slamming the sacrament of communion of Christians and non-denominational and Catholics alike.
And she had to apologize this weekend for that.
Another surrogate.
And then probably the worst of them all is Bill Clinton talking about how Lake and Riley likely wouldn't have happened if we were vetting people at the border.
And he's talking about Kamala Harris, the border Zars border.
Listen.
You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
They made an ad about it, about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant.
Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
But if they all properly vetted and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work.
There wouldn't be a problem.
And he couldn't keep people all torn up and upset.
If they weren't proper, if they were properly vetted, it likely wouldn't have happened.
Well, that's the whole point.
And that's what Trump's been saying.
And, you know, one of the issues with Obama, okay, he owns a really wealthy oceanfront compound at Matha's Vineyard, and he's being slammed.
Now, there's one other factor here is I think people always vote.
We always say that elections are about peace and prosperity, right?
We really do.
And if, and Harris is about to announce new economic programs designed to help black men.
Now, obviously, it's sort of like, oh, let me, let me, those, those stupid kids that have student loans, let me forgive them.
Let me give people that don't have a house money for a down payment.
Let me give business owners $50,000.
Let me give the Green New Deal and we'll give everything free, free, free to everybody.
Anyway, your new proposal aims to provide black men with tools to achieve financial freedom.
Part of the proposal will be providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable, up to $20,000 to African-American entrepreneurs, et cetera, et cetera.
Here's the problem.
And I gave out these numbers last week.
If you look at Trump prior to the pandemic, the overall income growth rate was very real at 6.8%.
But when you break it down demographically, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for African Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, 10.6% for Asian Americans.
And all, you know, record highs, as were the income levels for each of these three groups.
The poverty rate plummeted 1.3 percentage points.
That was a 60-year low.
This was the largest reduction in poverty in over 50 years.
And that was those horrible Trump tax cuts, which, by the way, will expire in 2025.
And minority groups in particular experienced the largest improvements.
He set record after record after record African-American low unemployment rates, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African-American youth unemployment.
African-American poverty fell by two percentage points.
Hispanic poverty fell by 1.8 points.
Asian American poverty fell by 2.8 points.
And this is according to the White House Council of Economic Advisors.
The poverty rate fell to an all-time record low for every race and ethnic group in 2019.
So if Kamala Harris wants to play identity politics, maybe she should look at Trump's plans because those actually worked.
Now, on top of all of her surrogate screwing up, I mean, Tim Walz, I mean, did you see him out pheasant hunting this weekend?
He was caught on video struggling to load his own shotgun.
And I'll be honest, I have friends that are hunters.
They love it.
They're passionate about it.
It's not my passion.
I've mostly been a pistol guy because that's what I learned to shoot when I was young.
My mom was a prison guard.
But, you know, I have shotguns.
I can't shoot them anymore because of my hearing loss from 36 years, seven years in radio.
Anyway, it isn't even, you know, people don't even know this guy.
He apparently went to a high school football game where he was once a coach, and it prompted protest and the silent treatment from many people.
It was embarrassing.
He's not helping at all.
Now, the new poll shows that JD Vance is much more like than Tim Walz.
And the only person that turned out to be very weird in this campaign seems to be Tim Walz and Kamala Harris with her giggling, you know, which is getting more bizarre by the day.
Oh, we got a clip of Kamala Harris.
We'll do it later in the program.
Supporting changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
Apparently, she said that in 2019, 2021, we found a clip of her discussing the shameful history of European explorers who came to America.
And we have a poll out that actually shows that the American people disagree with all of this.
You know, I think most people, if you really get down to it, do they want secure borders?
Are you better off?
Are borders more secure?
Is law and order work?
Did D-fund, dismantle, no-bail laws working out?
Are you more safe and secure?
How are your kids' schools doing?
How are things when you go to the grocery store?
You liken Harris-Biden inflation?
Do you get upset like I do every time I fill up my gas tank and you have to pay $1.50 more than you used to pay?
Because I don't like any of it.
You think the world is doing better under Harris and Biden?
Because she's not going to change a thing.
If anything, she's going to go more radical left.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Toll-free numbers, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Election Day three weeks from tomorrow.
Linda, how often do we talk about this?
How long have we been counting down this election?
And I said, it's going to fly by.
You're going to see.
It's going to be the next thing you want to do.
I don't think that I would agree.
It has not flown by.
It's been painful.
I think any moment that I have to spend listening to Biden or Kamala try to use words is too long.
And it's been over 300 years.
Well, that's a fair point.
But what I'm saying is, you know, when we get into election season, you know, the season kind of does fly by.
It's sort of like, look how big Liam is.
I mean, Liam.
Yeah, I mean, it's all crazy.
I feel like we were just getting ready for the RNC and, you know, finding out that someone tried to kill President Trump.
And, you know, I mean, I think it's kind of weird that somebody tried to kill a president and we were just like, all right, so what else happened today?
It's just bizarre.
These are strange times.
There's no doubt about it.
And, you know, this is an inflection point for the country, but we're now three weeks from tomorrow.
Early voting has started in many states.
We have on Hannity.com as a public service.
If you haven't registered to vote, how you can register and when early voting starts in your state, your Commonwealth, when it stops, that information is available.
Kamala, in her own words, that's available.
And we have Tim Walz in his own words.
He's now becoming a massive liability to the campaign.
I couldn't even answer a question about him saying we ought to abolish the Electoral College.
He's never been asked about his radical positions on abortion or really challenged the way he should be.
And the bill that he himself signed that we have gone over in great specificity and detail, or why he thinks the people of Minnesota should pay for free college for illegal immigrants, or why he gives legal driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, or why he would offer gender-affirming care without parental consent to minors, to children.
Never had to answer any of these questions.
You know, Kamala Harris now, because of these poll numbers, it's forcing her.
First, she was coming out doing only friendly interviews, and it looks like the trend.
We'll see what Charlemagne does.
When is that interview?
I think that's in Detroit.
Is that tomorrow or the next day?
And then I think that I hope Charlemagne, somebody sends him the Kamala and the Walls files because there are some good questions that he could ask her.
Brett Baer at Fox will interview her, Kamala Harris.
I believe that's a 30-minute interview, and that will happen on Thursday.
That's going to be interesting.
And I wish she's now, she doesn't take our calls, so they don't really want to do an interview with us, I guess.
I'm off the table for that.
I hope many of you are embracing early voting and voting by mail.
This is something that we've talked about for four years, and now the moment is here.
And I just think that you can't start out Election Day down all of these votes.
Let me first remind you in this Harris-Biden economy, how you can save money.
One way you can save it is by switching to my cell phone company, PureTalk.
They use the same exact 5G network, the same exact cell towers.
You get the same exact service, and you pay about half the price.
The average family saves close to $1,000 a year.
I know a lot of these companies, well, we're going to give you a free iPhone, but then you sign your life away for a plan that you're overpaying for, which makes them a lot more money.
You can buy four iPhones.
I got an new iPhone from Pure Talk.
Anyway, the bottom line is: stop falling for the same traps, overpaying for data that you will never use for $25 a month from Pure Talk.
You can get unlimited talk, unlimited text.
You're going to get five gigs of data, which is like plenty for 98% of people.
You'll get mobile hotspot roaming in 50 countries.
The switch is simple, fast, easy.
You dial pound 250.
You say the keyword save now.
You do it now.
You save an additional 50% off your first month.
No contract to sign.
No activation fee.
You keep your phone.
You keep your phone number.
Anyway, call now.
Pound 250.
Keyword save now from our friends at Pure Talk.
I don't know what to make of it.
I think, obviously, this not being a pandemic year is probably part of it, but we are learning that so far, early voting is nowhere near what people have been estimating it would be.
4.2 million Americans have already cast their ballots, according to the New York Post, a Republican strategist who provides daily updates on early and mail-in voting.
But early voting is down 45% from 2020.
In terms of the percentages from the people that I've been talking to and my sources, Democratic voting is down dramatically.
And Republican, you know, compared to 2020, early voting is up.
So I think the message has gotten out that it's not a good idea to start out Election Day down hundreds of thousands of votes.
And if you're in these states that have been devastated by these hurricanes, I think early voting is going to certainly make it convenient for those people that, in spite of all the devastation that they're facing in their life, still think it's really important that their vote get in.
And I know that they're making efforts to do so.
For example, the number of early votes are going to rise substantially in the next two weeks as some states now send out their mail-in ballots and others open in-person voting centers.
But the share of votes cast early is still likely to be lower than even after that happens.
Virginia, for example, had in-person early voting since late September, and 459,000 have voted as of October the 10th.
Today's the 14th, but that's down 4% from the same point in 2020.
The bigger news is a significant decline in requests in mail-in ballots.
Those are down 58% from 2020 in states that don't send mail-in ballots to every voter.
The drop is especially steep in swing states like Georgia, North Carolina, declines 84% and 75%, respectively.
The drop is smaller, but still noticeable in three Midwestern blue states.
Mail-in requests are down 59% in Wisconsin, 36% in Pennsylvania, 24% in Michigan.
But again, you know, everybody thought there was going to be a red wave in 2022.
I don't make predictions.
I just, I want all of you to have the mindset that you think that your vote is going to tip this election in Donald Trump's direction, in Donald Trump's direction, because I think that these policies of Kamala Harris are extreme.
They are radical.
And I do look at the poll numbers.
We'll have our pollsters at the top of the hour.
We have three new national polls that show that Kamala Harris's lead over Donald Trump is collapsing.
I mean, we saw Harris lost six points on Donald Trump in a single month in the latest NBC news poll that was out yesterday, you know, giving the former president a 47-46 lead among registered voters.
This is the entire country.
That's a big deal.
And if you go back to 2016 and 2020, this wasn't even close.
But, you know, glean from that what you will, but still vote.
A separate survey, ABC News, showed the voters moving in Trump's direction nationally.
Harris still up among likely voters, 50-48, but that's a significant tightening from the six-point edge that Harris had scored in the poll last month among likely voters, 52.46.
The latest CBS YouGov poll found Harris ahead of Trump by three and up only slightly in the battleground state average, 50-49.
I mean, so Wall Street Journal poll, it's Trump leading Kamala by one point.
And all of these swing states, again, compared to 2020 and 2016, Donald Trump is outperforming dramatically.
One Washington Post column is warning abortion is no longer the top issue in a state like Michigan, a bellwether, you know, because people now see that states like Ohio, when the issue was put before them, even though it was redistated as it now is, it was never that way before.
Anyway, so what we're seeing is, you know, absentee ballot requests are down significantly.
We're seeing it in all the swing states.
We're seeing it in counties that are bellwether counties that you would look to for the election.
The same phenomenon is happening in Michigan, North Carolina.
It's happening in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
We'll see what happens out in Nevada.
But they are definitely nervous, or else I don't think if Kamala Harris could, she would prefer to hide in the basement.
That's what she would prefer to do.
They would prefer.
Let's hide in the basement as long as we possibly can.
And, you know, to send an end to, if you're going to send out surrogates like Gretchen Whitmer and she has to apologize, and Bill Clinton saying Lake and Riley would be alive today if they did any vetting of any of these illegal immigrants that they've allowed into the country.
And the comments of Barack Obama, which we covered from last week, I don't think they're being particularly helpful, but it's not their race to win.
And I will say this: I don't think Barack Obama, the only thing he seemed to enjoy was bashing Trump.
He did not seem like he wanted to be there to me.
And you got tensions rising between the Harris and Biden team, none of which is good for, you know, for them.
At this point, you know, the fact that Kamala Harris feels the need to get out there and then every single appearance she makes hurts and doesn't help.
Even when she goes on the view and she makes the statement and Colbert makes the same statement that she wouldn't do anything differently than Joe Biden is not a particularly good answer.
Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
All right.
Anyway, Charlemagne the God, the host of the Breakfast Club, will go to Detroit, I guess, to do the show with Kamala Harris.
David Brooks had a column.
Kamala Harris' momentum has stalled, made a major mistake by not breaking with Biden.
I think that's true.
I mean, we have a campaign now that is sending out surrogates to lie and compare Trump to Hitler, the end of democracy.
You know, he's going to sign a national abortion ban.
None of which is true.
That is against IVF.
Not true.
The person that has to start answering questions, real questions, are Kamala Harris about her 12 million plus unvetted Harris-Biden illegals.
Why do you want to decriminalize it?
And offer free food, housing, health care, education, your running mate, legal driver's licenses and a college education, sex change surgery, amnesty, or path to citizenship for people that you haven't vetted, and they've come from over 180 countries, including our top geopolitical foes and countries with terror ties.
What do you say to the families of people that have murdered loved ones, dozens of families?
Lake and Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nunngarry, to name a few.
You know, she just is not a very good candidate, not particularly likable.
The awkward laughing, we'll play some montages later, I think, are hurting her as well.
It's their record that she is now tying herself to.
She's making other enforced errors.
Why have she never called Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, my governor?
And why would she say that I've tried to call ⁇ he wouldn't take my call because of politics.
He never got her call.
Nobody on the staff got her call.
And, you know, Donald Trump is doing what Donald Trump does.
Everybody knows where Donald Trump's coming from.
How many questions left to ask Donald Trump?
He still support ⁇ he could ask Kamala, do you still support the new Green Deal you co-sponsored?
$93 trillion?
Do you still support eliminating the filibuster to pass it?
Do you still support eliminating private health insurance and government health care for all?
Do you still support text change operations for convicts on top of illegal aliens?
Why do you never want to say the word radical Islamic terrorism?
Why do you think it's courageous not to say it or illegal alien?
And then you've got other things on the horizon that are out there.
The first gentleman on Joe Scarborough wasn't asked outright about it, but declines to deny that it, you know, that's charged that he actually slapped a girlfriend.
We know he did apparently impregnate the nanny.
And, you know, I don't want to get into the guy's personal life.
However, I will say that if it was a Republican, it'd be very different.
Talking about Raisinbrand with Howard Stern is not particularly helpful, in my view.
And you don't hold a single press conference.
It was interesting to watch Megan McCain.
I've known Megan a long time, always got along with her.
And anyway, she called out Kamala Harris Friday after she shared an anecdote about an interaction she had with her dad.
And anyway, she tells this whole story.
And Megan McCain found the story dubious and publicly addressed it on X-Friday night.
She says, now, I know Democrats want to reinvent history and turn my dad into any illusion you guys need him to be, depending on the political movement you need to bastardize his memory for.
Ouch.
But please don't make me start sharing what I remember him actually saying about Kamala Harris.
And consider this my final warning shot.
I will start spilling tea.
Wow.
I don't blame her.
I mean, and she got mad at Donald Trump at one point, and I can understand that too.
Joe Biden's team wants Kamala Harris, you know, Axio says to win, but they're pissed.
They don't really care that she's mad at them.
And that's not good.
And Tim Walz, I mean, how do you screw up loading your own shotgun?
How do you not, how do you break from the campaign's position on the Electoral College?
And then, when asked about it, you can't even answer the question.
I mean, the video of him struggling, they wanted him to show that he's a real Second Amendment guy.
Well, most people that I know, I know plenty of hunters.
I don't know.
I've never been on a pheasant hunt.
And I know my friends that our hunters are going to get mad.
I just don't have any interest in it.
And then he appeared to get protests and the silent treatment, you know, when he was at the high school, when he went to a football game.
I read that this weekend, too.
And then he's trying to clarify the Electoral College, but it's all a mess.
And here's the worst part.
You know, it's the fourth anniversary of the big Hunter Biden laptop from hell and all the lies they told about it.
It's really pretty despicable.
Michael Moore pushes Biden to use the full immunity and enact the bucket list.
Sounds like he wants to overturn democracy to me.
Sounds like democracy's in peril.
The left is going to go crazy the next 22 days.
They're not going to be able to help themselves.
All right, 800-941-Shauna's on number.
Later on, we'll have Melania Trump.
We have our pollsters coming up today.
Export Selection
