| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| Thanks, Chuck Hannon. | |
| Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, uh 800 941 Sean is on number. | |
| You want to be a part of the program. | |
| 15 days till election day. | |
| Early voting now going on in most states around the country. | |
| If you want information, public service Hannity.com, uh, it'll tell you when how to register, when early voting starts, when it stops. | |
| We have the Kamala Files, the Walls files, all the stuff that they have said, their radicalism in their own words that the media will never play for you. | |
| Two weeks from today, it will be election eve, uh, and what I believe is an inflection point for the country. | |
| And uh I hope many of you it's very clear from from the data that has come out about early voting, is certainly there has been a shift in the mindset of many Republicans. | |
| They they seem to have embraced way more than they ever have before the idea of early voting, voting by mail, which by the way is not the system I want, but it's the system we're stuck with, and the system that can only be changed if you win elections. | |
| So it's it's it's great to see that. | |
| It gives then the Republicans the opportunity to focus specifically focus their resources on people that are lower propensity voters, as they call them. | |
| Uh so we're watching that really, really closely. | |
| Look, this this election now, in spite of everything that they're gonna tell you, is and they're gonna go straight off and and Marina Devine had an interesting quote from Atlantic magazine. | |
| Uh we are now at the Trump is worse than Hitler's stage of the Kamala Harris campaign with just two weeks into election day. | |
| And I gave up an entire monologue on radio and TV about this very topic last week. | |
| And she points to Atlantic magazine where uh a CIA, you know, I don't know, somebody by the name of uh Ann Applebaum wrote a hilarious anti-Trump diatribe last week titled Trump is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. | |
| And of course, she used the word fascist in her interview with Charlemagne the God. | |
| And of course, James Carville used the the Hitler word, and then Raphael Warnock and everybody else on MSDNC, racist, racist, sexist, racist, sexist, threat to democracy, January 6th, and it goes on and on and on. | |
| And it just, you know, but that's not what this election is about. | |
| It should not be about. | |
| It is them desperate. | |
| They see polls, they are floundering. | |
| They don't, they can't pick a message that is working. | |
| Uh these attacks I hope won't resonate with people. | |
| Uh I think it's become the law of diminishing returns, because this is all they've done to this man for ten years. | |
| And what it really should come down to is a very simple equation. | |
| Are you better off than you were four years ago? | |
| And all they have done is lectured Israel after the worst terrorist attack in their history that killed the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in a day based on their population size. | |
| And, you know, last week Kamala says, Oh, I stood up to veterans. | |
| Like, well, it's certainly the military went woke on your watch. | |
| Listen. | |
| I took on the big banks and fought to deliver 20 billion dollars for middle class families that faced foreclosure. | |
| I stood up to veterans and stood up for, excuse me, stood up for veterans and students being scammed. | |
| All right, so that is what it is. | |
| But here's let's go back. | |
| If you go, remember after they took out this guy, Sinwar, who was the architect behind the October 7th attack. | |
| I mean, a brilliant move. | |
| And where did they find him? | |
| They found him in Rafah. | |
| And what did the the Harris Biden administration? | |
| What were they constantly doing? | |
| What are they still doing but threatening Israel? | |
| They did it in the last week that they'll withhold aid if they don't do more of what Joe and Kamala demand that they do. | |
| The only message they should have been sending to Israel is to go win your war against those people that murdered your citizens, the worst terror attack in their history, the the people that raped your citizens, the people that kidnapped your citizens and American citizens, the people that tortured your citizens, uh, and the people that were beheading your citizens. | |
| I don't know what part of that they didn't understand, but at the time the the this guy Sinwar would be alive today if she if they listened to Kamala Harris. | |
| Because she studied the maps. | |
| We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake. | |
| Let me tell you something, I have studied the maps. | |
| There's nowhere for those folks to go. | |
| And we're looking at about a million and a half people in Rafa who are there because they were told to go there most of them. | |
| And so we've been very clear that um it would be a mistake to move into Rafah with any type of military operation. | |
| And what did we say at the time by telegraphing and pressuring Israel not to go to Rafah, that would be exactly where the leadership of Hamas and other terror groups would be hiding. | |
| And that's where they found Sinwar, the architect of of this October seventh attack. | |
| You know, a reporter asked her this weekend if she thinks she could lose the election because of Gaza. | |
| This was in Detroit. | |
| Listen. | |
| And so yesterday you called out Assad Turfe one of the uh elected uh officials here in Arab American he's faced uh tremendous backlash since you uh mentioned his name at the rally um and obviously there's a lot of uh churn and and turmoil within the Arab American and Muslim communities here in Michigan. | |
| Do you think you could lose the election because of Gaza and what you know overnight um there were more strikes thirty two more people were killed in Gaza some in hospitals. | |
| Um you know how risky is it that you could lose the election well it is undeniable that uh it is something that everyone is aware of what is happening there. | |
| I speak publicly all the time about the fact that there are so many tragic stories coming from Gaza. | |
| And, of course, the first in this phase of everything that has happened, the first most tragic story is October 7, and what happened that day, and then what has happened since. | |
| And I think what's critically important as we look at this moment is, one, acknowledging the tragedy of what has happened in Gaza in terms of the extraordinary number of innocent Palestinians who have been killed. | |
| Anyway, joining us now to discuss this and much more, there is a new report out how preventable this assassination attempt in Butler, PA, was. | |
| He's a part of that committee. | |
| Congressman from Florida, Mike Waltz, Green Beret, he's with the House Oversight Committee and the Task Force on the attempted assassination of former President Trump. | |
| And by the way, he does have a new book out that we can all learn from, Hard Truths, Think and Lead Like a Green Beret. | |
| And he was a Green Beret, the, the the very first ever elected to Congress. | |
| Uh Congressman great to have you back sir how are you? | |
| Yeah thanks Sean thanks for mentioning the book and uh all all no royalties to me all the veterans charities um that here's a hard truth uh Iran uh is trying to kill President Trump right now as we speak uh with multiple plots and this is not I just want everybody to hear me clearly this is not the typical kind of deaf to America they shout every Friday after prayers at the mosque. | |
| There's ongoing plotting uh and uh this administration Biden and Harris is basically shoulder shrug their half-hearted private message of don't do this or it's an act of war three years after it started uh is completely unacceptable. | |
| They're greenlighting this to happen uh and they're going to normalize it for all of our adversaries are going to start trying to take out our elected officials if uh if they feel like it's not in line with their interests. | |
| Iran is petrified of having Trump back into office uh because he went after what they care about the most their wallets uh and therefore their grip on power and it is well you're you're you're saying we have Iranian assassination teams inside our country not team teams. | |
| Teams that's right. | |
| Now I I've read it but I've also had sources that have been told directly confirming that that is a hundred percent accurate you would know this. | |
| And what are we doing to prevent what what are we doing to find those people that are part of these groups? | |
| Well I the the intelligence community, the FBI tells us they're doing everything they possibly can, but you have to question that when they have you know agents dedicated uh you know going after parents and Twitter and all kinds of other nonsense. | |
| But Sean, uh this Well, well, don't you have to question it because after Butler they knew that these Iranian assassination squads were here, and yet as we have discussed many times, this the second you know would be assassin at Trump International. | |
| This was a well known wooded area uh where paparazzi would hide out in, and they never swept the area. | |
| This is after Butler. | |
| Right. | |
| Uh and that was uh that was a secret service failing. | |
| Uh at least they're being somewhat well, according to the interim director of the Secret Service, he said the plan worked after Trump International. | |
| Yeah, right. | |
| And that he has my frustration uh is that they're saying he has everything the current president has, and that Kabla has, where they're flying around in military aircraft. | |
| So that's not a true statement. | |
| President Trump is flying around in his private aircraft. | |
| Uh and so uh he needs we need to have the protection to match the threat. | |
| Not because you're a current, you get this, you're a former, you get that. | |
| Uh they've given them more in fairness, but it is not what matches the threat. | |
| Uh and it's uh again, it's completely unacceptable. | |
| If we need to go to the private sector, if we need to go to the Israelis, uh we need to go wherever we need to go to make sure he is alive. | |
| Our country will come unglued uh if if something happens to him, it is an act of war, and Biden, rather than sending private messages, should be standing at the podium behind the presidential seal talking about consequences to Tehran uh if they don't knock this off. | |
| All right, quick break. | |
| We'll come right back with Florida Congressman Mike Waltz is with us. | |
| By the way, he does have a new book out. | |
| All the money is going to military charities, hard truths, think and lead like a green beret. | |
| 800 941 Shauna's on number, 15 days till election day. | |
| Two weeks from today, it'll be election eve in America as we continue. | |
| We continue now with Congressman Mike Wals of Florida, Green Beret, the first Green Beret, by the way, uh ever elected to Congress, and he has a new book out, all the money's going to military charities. | |
| It's called Hard Truths, think and lead like a green beret, life's lessons we can all learn. | |
| What I don't understand, or I'm having a very hard time understanding, is why why didn't they do that which Donald Trump said they should do, and I agreed with him is tell the Iranians that if they dare mess with any presidential candidate or any top elected official, regardless of party, those are his words, that uh they're gonna get a message. | |
| I will I will uh I I will pretty much incinerate you. | |
| Yeah. | |
| In other words, we're gonna let the Iranians get away with this, and Joe Biden is telling Israel, you know, after 200 ballistic missiles are fired from Iran directly on top of the three proxies that they're providing arms to because Harris and Biden allowed them to get rich because they wouldn't enforce the sanctions that were driving them into poverty when Trump was president, and and they're telling them you know, be happy that that the missiles didn't land in populated areas? | |
| Are you kidding me? | |
| They need to now finish the win. | |
| They need to finish the job. | |
| Yeah, how about finish the job and we have your back one hundred percent? | |
| Now the question is I mean, the Israelis need some operational help uh from us in terms of tankers, bunker busters, and other things uh to actually take down Iran's nuclear program. | |
| This is a golden golden moment. | |
| One can only imagine if the Israelis even thought, even suspected that one of those missiles had a nuclear warhead on it. | |
| You can't wait for the mushroom cloud to figure it out. | |
| You have to launch in response. | |
| Uh and President Trump is is absolutely right. | |
| Now is a golden moment to take down or at least severely set back their nuclear program, but I don't think uh uh Biden is willing to help him. | |
| Well, I mean, that to me is just unforgivable. | |
| And you know, the idea I'm um and this is where I I really have a hard time with the the mindset of people. | |
| What part of murder, what part of kidnapping, what part part of torture, what part of beheading and rape does the left not understand that happened to Israel, and why do why don't these people have the moral clarity to support Israel and their right to self determination? | |
| They're now fighting a forefront war without much help from us at all. | |
| They're not asking for much, they just want to buy weapons. | |
| And and yet they they keep threatening to withhold weapons. | |
| You're right, and they're tapping the brakes uh nonstop. | |
| You know, they Harris throws out Kamala throws out the you know the throwaway line. | |
| Of course, we support Israel's right to defend itself. | |
| But we know there's nothing behind it. | |
| She's pandering to the left in Michigan. | |
| She ultimately believes that Netanyahu is the one who is escalating, not Iran and its proxies. | |
| And you know, one of the things I talk about in Hard Truths, and here's you know, here's a hard truth uh that President Trump knew until you cut off the cash, which actually is Chinese cash, Sean, and President Trump told the Chinese you stop buying Iran's oil or you can't buy ours. | |
| And you know what? | |
| They listened. | |
| The House of Representatives passed sanctions on Chinese buyers of Iranian oil, which is where their cash comes from a year ago. | |
| Chuck Schumer won't take it up. | |
| Uh until we focus on the core of the disease, this is going to happen as as much as success as Israel has had and decimating Hezbollah and Hamas and good on them. | |
| Uh and I pray now this is a window to get our hostages out. | |
| This is temporary until we go to the root of the problem. | |
| And the thing is you don't have to go to war. | |
| Uh we can do it economically if only they had the guts to do so. | |
| We really should think a lead like Green Berets. | |
| If we did, the world would be a better place. | |
| Uh uh, Mike Walsh, Congressman, Florida, all the money's going to military charities. | |
| He just it'll be in bookstores tomorrow. | |
| It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com today. | |
| Hard Truths, think and lead like a green beret. | |
| Uh, thank you, sir. | |
| You're a good man. | |
| God bless you. | |
| Hey, thank you, Sean. | |
| Well, we're in the uh it looks like it. | |
| Fifteen days to go. | |
| Uh two weeks from today, it is election eve. | |
| All right, 25 now to the top of the hour. | |
| Toll-free numbers 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, and we are only 15 days from election day in America, and that means two weeks from today, it will be election eve in America. | |
| And if you have not embraced early voting, voting by mail, I strongly recommend you bank your vote. | |
| There's a lot of benefits to it. | |
| One of one of which is that you know, fewer resources uh have to be spent by go get out the vote effort groups. | |
| Uh, if because they can't I I guess there's a record of public record of who votes and who doesn't. | |
| I'm not sure exactly how it works. | |
| I don't really want to know the nitty-gritty or the numbers or the details. | |
| But my understanding is is once they're aware that you voted, that means they're gonna stop harassing you with text messages and and emails and people banging on your door, and that means they can focus their time, energy, resources on lower propensity voters, maybe people not as is as motivated or inclined to vote as you can. | |
| If you haven't registered and you want to, we have information on every state on Hannity.com. | |
| If you want to know when early voting starts and stops in your state, you can go to Hannity.com. | |
| If you want the all of the radicalism of Camilla, the media mob, state-run media mob will never play. | |
| That is clear now with a mere 15 days left in this campaign. | |
| Uh we have it up, all of this information is a public service. | |
| It's called the Camala Files, and we have the Tim Walls files, and it's all on Hannity.com. | |
| Um, I find the older I get, I want to support companies that share my values. | |
| That's where Coin dot com comes in. | |
| It's spelled C-O-I-G-N.com, and it's a visa credit card. | |
| And a lot of these other credit cards, what's in your wallet, you may have woke all over your wallet, and your credit card may support radical left-wing causes and you don't know anything about it with coin.com. | |
| Every transaction you make, well, a certain amount of that transaction, it goes towards charities that you get to vote who they donate to. | |
| And it's actually a coin that is America's conservative credit card, and it is designed by conservatives for conservatives, and they share your values, and the good thing is it's a beautiful card that you love to have in your wallet, proud to pull out of your wallet or your pocketbook or your purse, bright red, we the people line on it. | |
| And CoinWorks everywhere visa is accepted as a hundred percent U.S. based customer service and protections. | |
| In other words, you can ask yourself what's in your wallet and get woke out of your wallet and start earning cash back While fighting the liberal agenda. | |

| It's simple. | |
| And select Hannity in the How Did You Hear About Us section at C O I G N dot com and check it out today. | |
| So there was a meeting on Meet the Press, I guess, an interview on Meet the Press with three governors from swing states. | |
| Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania. | |
| Then Gretchen, the Holy Eucharist, Whitmer from Michigan. | |
| And what's the guy's name? | |
| Evers out of Wisconsin. | |
| And a lot of interesting things were said in this in this interview. | |
| It was on Meet the Press. | |
| Kristen Welker is the host. | |
| She should go back and watch old Tim Russell tapes, in my opinion, learn how to really do a great Sunday show. | |
| But nobody listens to me. | |
| Anyway, here's Shapiro. | |
| Be impressed. | |
| And to her credit, she did press him to name one policy difference between Biden and Kamala. | |
| He couldn't, he wouldn't. | |
| He ducked and he dodged just like Kamala. | |
| You know, Kristen, I think what is clear is this is a race, not between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, but between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. | |
| And on that there are clear contrasts. | |
| Kamala Harris wants to cut taxes for the middle class and small businesses. | |
| Donald Trump's tariffs and his economic policies would raise costs for middle class families. | |
| Polls do show that more Americans feel as though President Biden's policies have hurt them rather than help them. | |
| So can you name one key policy difference between Vice President Harris and President Biden? | |
| How would her administration look different? | |
| You know, I've been really encouraged by the amount of energy that Kamala Harris, Vice President Harris has put into focusing on how she will cut taxes for small businesses. | |
| The focus on child care. | |
| Those aren't necessarily differences, though. | |
| They're an expansion or uh a tweak to some extent to what's been done. | |
| Can you name one policy difference? | |
| Well, listen, I again the contrast I am focused on, Kristen, is between her and Donald Trump. | |
| And on that, I think it is clearly different. | |
| I mean, it's so fascinating. | |
| They're all they don't want to they don't want to state the obvious. | |
| And if they do mention differences, is the answer. | |
| The truth is she's way more radical than Joe. | |
| And Whitmer was asked by Martha Raditz in another separate interview. | |
| What did Democrats lose over the last few years? | |
| Listen to this. | |
| Who did the Democrats lose over these years? | |
| I think if you even go back eight years, all three of our states went for Donald Trump. | |
| And then all three of us were elected and re-elected. | |
| And this is, I think you don't win a state like Michigan by eleven points without a lot of people coming over, independents and Republicans. | |
| And that's part of our missive. | |
| As we've been to Wisconsin and Michigan, and now here in Pennsylvania. | |
| There's a seat of the table for everyone. | |
| We understand that there are Republicans out there who are lamenting that Donald Trump is their nominee. | |
| They're not sure about our agenda. | |
| We're making a seat at the table for them. | |
| We are not writing anyone off. | |
| So I want to go back to the It is razors. | |
| And some of the averages they see Trump actually making a, I know you're saying you have faith in these voters and they understand what they saw in Donald Trump years ago. | |
| But the polls just aren't showing it. | |
| Listen, the only people that are not surprised about these polls are us three. | |
| We all expect this. | |
| We are not upset about it. | |
| We're not scared. | |
| We're determined to make sure we do everything in our power to win this thing. | |
| And while this is going to be close, I'd much rather be pa playing our hand than theirs. | |
| We got a better candidate. | |
| We've got receipts on the issues that matter to the American people on the economy, individual rights, affordable housing, etc. | |
| And we got a better ground game, and we're gonna we're gonna do the work. | |
| I mean, Gretchen Whitmer, just like Bill Clinton, just like Barack Obama, they're out there, you know, as surrogates. | |
| The only one that might have been effective was Stevie Wonder, who was singing happy birthday to Kamala in a church in Georgia this weekend. | |
| Uh anyway, Lizzo made these comments. | |
| Now, do you know a lot about Lizzo? | |
| Linda, you're more pop culture friendly than I am. | |
| I don't. | |
| I count myself really blessed that I don't. | |
| I I don't pay attention to pop culture because I don't care. | |
| You mean you're not a Swifty? | |
| I'm shocked. | |
| Oh, you don't want to hear what I think about Swifty. | |
| Oh no, I don't. | |
| I already know. | |
| I you've already told you've shared that information with me. | |
| Uh but anyway, here's Lizzo. | |
| If Kamala wins, the whole country will be like Detroit. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| I mean, it is so true. | |
| And this is this this is just a simple truth. | |
| If you look at big cities that have been run for decades by liberal Democrats, blue blue states, blue cities. | |
| You know, you can look at New York City, you can look at LA, you can look at San Francisco, you can look at Chicago, you can look at Detroit, you can look at, you know any of these big cities. | |
| They have in most cases the highest crime rates, they have the worst school districts, and the Democrats have run the show for decades. | |
| And why they haven't paid the price for such failure, I don't know. | |
| But anyway, here's Lizo. | |
| So happy to be back in Detroit. | |
| You know all the best things were made in Detroit. | |
| Pony dogs, Fago, and Lizzo. | |
| I'm so proud to be from this city. | |
| You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit. | |
| Brazilian like Detroit. | |
| Pretty dead on accurate. | |
| Um anyway, 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, let's get to our busy phones on this Monday, 15 days to election day, and we'll go to the great state of Texas. | |
| Say hi to Tom. | |
| Tom, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| And help our friend Ted Cruz. | |
| Hello from the blood red state. | |
| Mr. Hannity, the wise one. | |
| I want to talk to the independents, because everybody else has decided. | |
| So if they're the undecided, they need to decide if they're going to be blue or red. | |
| Because that's their choice. | |
| They can call themselves independent, but they have to decide. | |
| Carry it into story. | |
| Now, with the Vogue media, call it whatever else you want. | |
| Their attention span is so short that they're not talking about the only interview of Kamala that's made sense, which is the Brett Bear interview. | |
| She's not going to be challenged any further, so we can forget about real questions being asked of a candidate. | |
| So when she spoke to Brett Bear, she mentioned talked about the border bill that was a bipartisan bill that had been passed, and that she wanted to uh put on President Trump that he had gotten it canceled by him making some phone calls. | |
| However, she made a vote statement about adding border agents. | |
| What's the point of adding border agents if their hands are tied and they're doing nothing but processing people to come into our country anyway? | |
| Adding more agents does nothing except ask more money from the taxpayers to pay for it. | |
| Well, I mean, her stated positions on the border, you know, decriminalizing illegal immigration. | |
| She's supported sanctuary, states, and cities. | |
| Uh she wants to offer, as we've repeatedly said, free housing, food, health care, education, uh, free sex change operations, even for convicts and for illegal immigrants, and with a running mate, free dr legal driver's licenses and free college, and then amnesty. | |
| That is what her stated plan is that she doesn't want to say. | |
| Now, for the record, I've reached out, I've had my team reach out to Kamala's campaign. | |
| I'm offering a full hour on Hannity the TV show. | |
| Now, I don't know, I don't even expect a response to be very honest with you. | |
| You won't. | |
| But um, you know, don't hold your breath, Hannity, right? | |
| But uh, if they want to do an interview, by the way, I I would be fair. | |
| I'd be respectful. | |
| How about also it'd be a very enlightening interview. | |
| How about just having the attitude of us having not issued the driver's licenses? | |
| Because if we're gonna do photo IDs to vote, and illegal immigrants have a driver's license, it's a moot point. | |
| Well, I mean, you know, the ironic part is when I lived in New York, I would walk into the polling place, and and this is the first time I'm now gonna vote this year because I moved full time. | |
| I've been here Since January 1st. | |
| And except for traveling for work, I stay in or going on vacation or something. | |
| I stay in Florida. | |
| That's where I am all year round. | |
| This is my full-time residence. | |
| I sold my house in New York. | |
| I don't have a place to stay. | |
| Come to Texas too. | |
| Listen, I I've thought about Texas, but um I'm I'm more I'd like water more. | |
| Although I guess I can go to Houston where my niece is water not that far from where she is. | |
| But anyway, so I just think that they have nothing to offer. | |
| And that's why their rhetoric is getting so out of control. | |
| And that's why it's racist and sexism and it's you know, Hitler and Fascism and Mussolini and Stalin. | |
| It's it there, this is all they got. | |
| That's their closing argument. | |
| Insurrection, democracy in peril, blah blah blah. | |
| If we're gonna fact check her, then we should have been fact checking the statements. | |
| And nobody was willing to do that when she spoke with Brett Bear. | |
| And that was just one. | |
| There's many subjects that we could go through, but if I just wanted to point out the one, which I appreciate your time and God bless you so much. | |
| You and I thought Brett did a great job. | |
| He did with what the hand he was dealt, he did the best job possible. | |
| Well, yeah, that was it. | |
| Time short. | |
| Of course they did. | |
| They were wrapping him like lunatics. | |
| And he had to turn it around, and they showed up late on purpose, in my view. | |
| Indeed. | |
| All right, my friend, I gotta roll on. | |
| I gotta get some other calls in here. | |
| Appreciate you being with us. | |
| Quick break right back to our phones, toll free. | |

| Now let's get back to our busy phones. | |
| 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Uh we'll stay in Texas. | |
| Say hi to Trey. | |
| Trey, how are you? | |
| Uh God bless Texas. | |
| What's going on, sir? | |
| Sean. | |
| Thank you so much for taking my call. | |
| I am calling from the uh military city USA San Antonio. | |
| And uh although it is a blue city, uh I was out at early voting today. | |
| I was in line before the polls opened. | |
| Uh there was an hour-long wait already. | |
| And what I've heard, maybe five thousand have already voted in the first hour there in just my count there. | |
| Uh but it's just one of those things I was uh wanting you to know. | |
| I'm out there as one of your deputies. | |
| I'm a retired Marine. | |
| Uh I love our country and stuff. | |
| And you know, I can tell you this. | |
| Me and my wife, as soon as we can afford it, we're gonna get one of those burners you're always talking about. | |
| We definitely want to get that because we are very second amendment and patriotic. | |
| My wife was also a Marine, and we just thank you. | |
| But I want to let you know where uh San Antonio was, and it the Republican turnout looked really good this morning. | |
| Well, listen, I I hope that's the case. | |
| By the way, Semperify to both of you. | |
| Um I appreciate the anecdotal information. | |
| I we I've now spoken for four years like a broken record. | |
| Not the system I want, the system we're stuck with. | |
| Embrace banking your vote. | |
| Then it gives the Republicans an opportunity to go for a lower propensity voters that might go their way. | |
| Um stay on the line. | |
| I want to send you and your marine wife a gift. | |
| I will send you a burner courtesy of me. | |
| Uh and uh I appreciate you listening and appreciate your service to your country marine. | |
| Semplify. |
