Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
I didn't know that he was going to schedule a rally at Madison Square Garden to mimic the Nazi rally of 10 February, 1939.
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.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Kennedy is on.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us 22 days until Election Day on Hannity.com, we have as a public service when early voting starts and stops in your particular state.
Also, how to register if you haven't registered to vote, when that starts and stops.
And more importantly, we have the Kamala files, the Walls files, their radicalism, their extremism in their own words, questions they've really never had to answer for.
Anyway, it's always a privilege to have back on the program.
Melania Trump is with us, former First Lady, maybe soon to be First Lady again.
We'll know a lot more in 22 days.
She has her new book out.
It's called Melania.
You can get it at MelaniaTrump.com.
From the day it was announced, it was number one on Amazon.com.
I got time to spend at Trump Tower when I was in New York for the vice presidential debate.
And we aired a lot of that interview.
The whole interview is going to be airing on Fox Nation.
But anyway, it's a pleasure to have back the First Lady.
Madam First Lady, thanks for being back with us.
How are you?
Good afternoon.
It's nice to be back.
You know, I've known you for a long time.
And in some ways, you're kind of reluctant to do interviews.
And you do some.
I thought you did a great job on the five, a great job with Ainslie.
I thought you were great at an interview we had together.
And there's a part of you that's very private.
And yet your whole life, starting with your modeling career and your journey that began in Slovenia, Milan, and Paris, and New York, you know, you've not been shy your entire life, on the other hand.
So I think that maybe creates a little bit of a mystery, but I don't see the mystery when I meet you because you're very gregarious.
Well, I'm very selective what I do and what I don't do.
And the readers and who is there interested, they could read in my book that it's out now nationwide and available on my website as well, melaniatrum.com.
And I have many, many stories in and whoever is interested, they could read it.
But it was very, It was a journey to write that book and I'm very proud of it.
It's not only that book that it's out, but it's another book that it's available also, special oversight luxury collection edition that they could pre-order now that they were never seen before images.
And they are taken by me from my camera, my perspective from the White House and my travels.
So a very exciting time for me.
And I'm sharing stories that were never heard before.
And I'm going to talk to you about all of those because I think you are leading and have led an unbelievably fascinating life.
But I have to ask you, how are you feeling 22 days before the election?
Here you go again.
Well, very exciting.
And I cannot believe it's only 22 days.
We are all very busy.
My husband is very busy, and I am as well.
But let's see what happens on November 5th.
The country needs to change.
The country needs to become safer.
And that's what my husband will do.
He will bring peace back in the world.
He will rebuild the military.
He will secure the border.
So let's see what people decide on November 5th.
You know, for those that maybe didn't see our TV interview, I thought one of the most interesting things that I ever learned about you is when Donald Trump decided he was going to run, and I knew your husband long before he ever decided or thought about getting into politics.
And when he asked you about it, you said to him, which is a pretty amazing statement in retrospect, that if you run, you know you're going to win.
In other words, you were kind of giving him a reality check.
And he was going up against some of the most well-known, popular senators, governors, 16 of them at the time, and you knew he would win.
How did you know that?
Well, I saw his vision, what he had for the country.
I saw his passion for making this country great again.
And I stood behind him and I said to him, you know, if you need to announce to run, if you announce, people will know you serious.
And I have a whole chapter explained in the book.
So people who are interested into the details, they could read it.
And the book is out already for a few days.
So I got a lot of feedback from readers and beautiful notes, how much they enjoying the book and loving every story and also the photos that they are inside.
One of the things that I think is very hard before we talk about your incredible life, which is incredible, and separate and apart long before you even met Donald Trump, is you've had to live through not one, but two assassination attempts.
We had somebody, you know, with weapons that was in the area where your husband was this weekend.
I don't want the specifics.
You've told that story.
You told it to me.
You told it on a number of shows.
But I do, you know, I've got to imagine that you probably are this this seems to have an urgency.
We have Iranian hit squads that we know of that are after your family.
And I'm just first of all, I'm so sorry.
And secondly, how do you handle that?
I feel it's very dangerous out there.
And all the rhetoric that is coming from the mainstream media and top leadership from opposition party.
And this needs to stop.
There should not be any violence against the former president and leading candidate for the Republican Party.
They tried to silence him, and this is not acceptable.
Tell us about how this journey started.
I know you started in Slovenia, and you went to an architecture and design school, and then you find yourself modeling in all these big cities like Milan and Paris and New York City, and then become an American citizen.
Yeah, it's a very interesting story and a very unique story because I started in fashion industry because of my mother.
She introduced me to it.
She was working for the company and was a constructor and designer.
And I started in a very young age.
I was six years old when it was my first runway show.
And then when I was a teenager, I started modeling in Slovenia and later moved to Milan.
And you were young, right?
At the time?
How old were you?
15?
When I started, I was 16, 17 in Slovenia.
And then I moved to Milan when I was 22 as a young woman in a new city with strangers.
I didn't know anybody.
I had the agent that represented me.
And later, moved from Milan to Paris and to New York in 1996.
Exciting time, but also challenging times because you arrive in the city that you don't know.
You need to get familiar with everything.
So later on, I met my husband and life changed as well.
After we married, we had our child together.
And in 2010, I established my own business.
All of these experiences from business, I brought it to the White House when we moved there in 2017.
And it was quite an exciting and amazing four years in the White House, overlooking and being in charge of the residence that has 100 people employed of my East Wing office,
taking care of the White House, of renovations and preservations, traveling the world, establishing my Be Best initiative, bringing that initiative around the world.
And, you know, later on, after in 2021, I establish my own platforms and giving back to foster care community.
So everything is explained in the book and very exciting.
I love every part of my life.
And I love giving back to the community as I'm doing it now.
And it's very fulfilling life.
You know, it's a life well lived for sure.
And it's one that, you know, has it's a very courageous life.
I don't think it's easy for people to just pick up and move to other countries where you have to learn the language and not only find your place in this big city, and you've done it multiple times, but also be successful in a very competitive and fiercely competitive at times business, and that be in the world of modeling.
And one of the things that I think was most interesting is that maybe the people, because I do think there's a part of you that has been protective of your private life and certainly Baron's life, and that's been your top priority.
But you made a very conscious decision to focus on raising Baron, especially during the years that Donald Trump was president.
Correct.
And he was, and he will always be my priority.
I wanted that he has a childhood that it will be good for him and he will be taken care of.
I was always a mother first and it will always stay that way.
It was challenging also sometimes for him growing up under a spotlight and his life is not normal and we're trying to do the best we can and now he's 18 year old young man that I'm very proud of, his strength, his compassion, his kindness, his knowledge, and he's thriving and doing very well in his university.
All right, quick break more with the former First Lady, Melania Trump, on your calls coming up on the other side, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Her book, Melania, is go to MelaniaTrump.com or bookstores around the country.
And she has a special edition if you want to get the oversized edition as well.
We continue now with former First Lady, Melania Trump.
Her new book, Melania, is out.
They have an oversized edition with photos never seen before.
You can go to MelaniaTrump.com, bookstores around the country.
It's been number one since it was announced it was being released.
Let's talk about you accomplished a lot of things and you do a lot of things behind the scenes.
You were involved in White House architecture and design and renovation and you got really, really deeply involved.
And the Rose Garden, for example, and the way you approached your job as First Lady in your Be Best campaign.
How did your background translate into doing that job?
And if you become First Lady again, what are your plans?
I took everything, I took my experiences from my life before, from a business life, and I brought it to the White House.
I'm always hands-on, and I like to do everything from idea to execution.
That was very important in the White House as well.
And the Be Best initiative was focusing on the critical issues such as opioid abuse and well-being of children, and as well as foster care community.
And I will continue to be involved and help children and women and also foster care community.
I think it's very important.
They are our next generation.
We need to take care of them.
And that would be my focus.
And also the issues that they will arise, because we don't know what will happen in a few months.
So if I'm in the White House again, I will for sure be tackling those issues.
And you don't have a problem, and you were very clear in the book, that you and President Trump could have disagreements on issues, and you just hear each other out, and that's pretty much the end of it.
Yes, I think it's very important that you communicate and you give the advice, what you feel like, what you believe in, and have a very honest communication and discussions.
I don't agree with everything what he does or he says.
And as I've always said, he's an adult.
He will decide what to do.
And I'm my own person and I have my own beliefs.
And there are a few things in the book that I explain about it.
And he's okay with that.
He supports me and I support him.
We are all individual and I believe in individual freedom.
Yeah, so do I.
I think that's a great story.
Your life is an amazing story.
It's called Melania, the memoir.
It's now trending number one on Amazon, Barnes ⁇ Noble.
They have a collector's edition.
Never before seen photos.
The photos are incredible in this book.
Madam First Lady, it's always a pleasure.
You can go to MelaniaTrump.com and in bookstores around the country.
We always appreciate your time and thank you for being with us.
And we'll be watching, obviously, very closely the next 22 days.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.
800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Now, I know the left is flailing.
I know that they are falling apart.
They know it.
The polling is dramatically, I mean dramatically, different for Donald Trump in 2024 than it was in 2016 or 2020.
I am telling all of you to take it as good news.
You certainly wouldn't want the reverse, but don't take it as the definitive news because there's only one poll that's going to matter.
There's only one reason and one reason alone that Kamala Harris is on the Call Me Daddy podcast, that she's doing Colbert, that she's going on, you know, The View.
He's hanging out with Howard Stern, who supports her fully and completely.
I don't know what happened to the old Howard Stern, but this is not one I recognize.
Not the guy that I heard growing up and was listening to.
And the rhetoric of the left is ratcheting up in the process.
And they're trying to scare Americans into thinking Donald Trump is going to be a dictator, that he's going to be an authoritarian, that he's going to round up people that he disagrees with, and he's going to put them in jail.
Well, the only lawfare or weaponization of justice that happened in our lifetime that I have seen happen to Donald Trump.
And we've watched it.
We've witnessed it.
And maybe it is that they're just afraid that he will do to them what they did to him in many regards.
Because none of it's been true.
If all this were true, he would have done it in his first term.
Would he not have?
Anyway, here's James Carville.
You know, he even said in one interview last week, he's scared to death about the election.
Here's what he said this weekend.
I did not realize when I said that that he would actually go on television and say, I'm going to use the military to round up my political enemies.
When I said that, General Flynn, who's going to be very senior in this administration, didn't say that the gates of hell will rain on my political enemies.
When I said that, I didn't know that he was going to schedule a rally at Madison Square Garden to mimic the Nazi rally of 10 February 1939.
So we have, they're telling you.
And by the way, if they win, they're going to correctly say, we told you in election what we're going to do and you voted for us.
You have greenlighted the whole thing.
And if we don't tell people about that, if they don't, if these young black men, how do you think they're going to do?
If you're a young black male and Trump inspired army roundup of people, how well do you think you're going to do in that?
You think you got nothing to lose?
How about looking at American history for one time and see what can happen here?
And they are telling you, we're not making this up.
This is not, we can be fact-checked by anybody.
They have promised military roundup.
They promised the gates of hell will rain on the enemies.
The Supreme Court has green lighted it.
They were asked the question, if a Navy SEAL has ordered to assassinate a political enemy, the president can't be, there's nothing wrong with that.
That's just part of his job.
They are telling you they're doing all of this.
Pay attention to them right now, please.
Pay attention to Kamala's Green New Deal that she co-sponsored.
Pay attention to Kamala Harris saying she'll eliminate private health insurance.
You know, pay attention to Kamala Harris wanting to give free food, housing, health care, education, sex change surgeries, legal driver's licenses, college tuition, and a path to citizenship for illegals.
Pay attention to defund, dismantle, reimagine the police and ICE.
Pay attention to no fracking.
Pay attention to no offshore drilling.
Pay attention to her positions on Iran and Israel and the Middle East and Ukraine and her adherence and her love of any world organization or globalist organization.
No matter how corrupt that organization is, nobody's going to be rounding people up.
Look, this is now the silly season.
And information is, you just have to understand that they're desperate.
This campaign is not going well.
And sending out her surrogates has not worked out particularly well either.
And they're just trying to scare people.
Every two years, four years, what do I always say the Democrats are going to do?
They'll say Republicans are racist.
Well, now they're going to call you a Nazi on top of it.
And he just implied, oh, if you're an African-American man.
Well, when Donald Trump was president for the first three years of his presidency, he set record low after record low, after record low, unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African-American youth unemployment.
That's Donald Trump's record.
Inflation was at a low.
It wasn't at, you know, a 20, 30-year high, what we've been living under under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, and she won't do anything different than Joe.
So she tells us she wouldn't have done a thing differently.
Well, okay.
Well, are you better off than you were four years ago?
Are you better off economically?
Are you better off with the price of energy and the price of a gallon of gasoline?
You think our borders are better off?
Are your cities safer?
How are your school systems doing in your towns and cities around the country, in these Democratic-dominated areas?
How have things worked out?
And so the only thing they've got left is fear and democracy imperil.
He didn't get a single vote, not one.
And she's now the Democratic nominee and has not done interviews.
The only reason she is coming out to do interviews is because they know they are losing.
If the strategy of hiding was working for them in their internal polling, they would not be out doing this.
And their surrogates have not been doing a particularly good job.
It's, you know, Barack Obama, whether it's Gretchen Whitmer, now Bill Clinton has come.
Well, you got to vet the people when they go down to the border.
They got to be vetted.
Well, they're not vetted.
That's the whole point.
He did not particularly help Kamala Harris in the state of Georgia.
And, you know, it's pretty sad.
Joe Biden was listening in on him telling hurricane victims that he knows how devastating it is to lose your home.
He goes back to this small little kitchen fire again and again and again.
That's all it was.
He didn't lose his home.
He didn't, you know, I Linda, I had an incident at my house where a toilet overflowed and impacted three rooms of my house.
Have I been on the air complaining about the fact that I that am I making the case that my house got devastated by waters in Florida?
No, no, because that would be the equivalent.
He's told that's absurd.
That's it.
I mean, these people lost their homes.
These people had a real natural disaster.
My toilet overflowing was not a natural disaster.
Well, it wasn't unnatural, but it shouldn't have happened.
It's a disaster.
Believe it.
I didn't even tell you the reason why, did I?
Oh, you told me.
I think I should say it publicly.
Don't use wet wipes, apparently.
Some guest used wet wipes in one of the guest rooms of my house because I live alone and they use wet wipes.
And so when the plumber comes at two in the morning and they figure out what it is, the guy goes, he goes, yeah, they say they're flushable, but they're not.
He goes, no, they keep us in business.
I said, gee, thanks for the warning.
I appreciate it.
And anyway, but this is what Joe's thinking.
These people lost everything.
And if you can donate to any of these great causes like samaritanspurse.org, please, these people need help.
I feel so sorry for everyone that lost so much.
But that would be the equivalent of me talking about the toilet overflowing impacting three rooms of my house.
You know, this is, you know, Joe's little house fire is not what happened to the hurricane victims in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Listen.
I know from experience how devastating it is to lose your home.
Several years ago, my home was struck by lightning.
It didn't all burn down, but I were out of the home for seven months while it was being repaired.
The thing I was most concerned about was not just the home, was all those things.
All those pictures I saved that my daughter had drawn when she was little.
All the family photographs, all the albums, all the things that really matter.
But his Corvette was fighting the garage next to the kitchen.
Anyway, let's get to our busy phones.
800-941-Sean Kim in Kansas.
Hey, Kim, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hello.
How are you?
Well, like everybody else, I'm not going to lie.
I'm concerned about every election.
And there's really only one poll that matters, Kim.
And that's the result of the election.
That's the poll on election day, the day after, whenever we get the final results.
Amen.
Thank you for everything that you do for us.
I appreciate it very, very much.
I was just calling in because I hear the news about how a certain party is getting agitated or nervous or whatever words you want to say.
However, it makes me extremely nervous when we're hearing about how well Trump is doing in the polls because it flashes me back to the red wave and how we heard a few years back about how we're going to have a red wave.
And it never materialized, did it?
No.
So I feel like, and I even have some friends, that when you say polls are up, then they're like, well, he's going to win.
There's no reason to go vote.
And I'm like.
By the way, all these polls that we're referring to are all very, very close.
Some of them less than a point.
All of them.
All seven swing states.
So if anyone gets complacent, they do so to their own peril.
And I think your analogy about what happened in 2022 is very relevant.
And I don't want anybody thinking for one second that this election is in the bag.
It's anything but in the bag.
So I appreciate you saying those words.
And hopefully Jesse and Laura Ingram and you will continue saying those things so people don't get complacent.
And I'm telling people to assume that their one vote, their one vote will decide the election, especially if you live in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada.
Assume your vote will decide this election.
You want my football analogy that Linda has no idea what I'm talking about?
First of all, hello, Linda, and thank you.
Oh, gosh.
Here we go.
Hi.
Ask Linda to tell you the football analogy.
Maybe that'll help.
Linda, you want to explain it?
Sure.
You have 10 points down.
You got to cross the plane.
You got to throw the ball.
The guy's not there.
He misses the pass.
There's a fumble.
There's no recovery.
I don't know.
Well, the words.
Okay, I'll give you the words.
You have to act like you have two minutes left in the game.
You're on your own 20-yard line.
You have no timeouts.
You got to march down the field the full 80 yards, cross the plane, meaning get the touchdown, pick the extra point if you want to win.
That's a monumental task.
And that's how you have to view this election.
And I am telling people, look at 2022.
And I think that's a great way to look at it.
Do not let these polls, whether they're good, bad, or other, impact how you are going to act.
Act as though, you know, the country is, look, I think her views are radical.
I think they are extreme.
And if the new Green Deal, no health insurance, open borders continue, and our foreign policy continues, I think those policies are dangerous for the country.
I'm just being very honest.
That's how I feel as a voter.
And I'm conveying it with the urgency, all the urgency I can muster in me.
And I don't sleep, and I haven't been sleeping.
I'd like to sleep.
And I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead.
But, you know, I'm very worried about it.
And I think that you're giving everyone a good admonition.
And we appreciate it.
Anyway, Kim, thank you.
I think this is an important call.
All right, that's going to wrap things up today.
We are loaded up tonight now.
Glenn Young, who's only enforcing a law put into place by Democrat Tim Kaine about illegal immigrants that are potentially, that are not allowed to vote in Virginia, is now being sued by the Biden-Harris DOJ.
Now, how does that make any sense?
An investigative report tonight, 9 Eastern on Hannity.
Also, Laura Trump, Ted Cruz, Joe Concha, Tommy Laron, and more.
Set you, DVR, Hannity on Foxy tonight, back here tomorrow.
