Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
And thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number if you'd like to be a part of the program.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you would like to join us, it is 15 days until an inflection point in our country till election day.
They have a tipping point of all tipping point elections.
Let's put it this way.
Two weeks from today will be election eve in America.
And it will fly by.
And God only knows what the news will be in the days uh to come, but we will follow it and follow it closely.
Um early indications are I have not been wasting my time arguing for something I prefer not to argue for, and that is that Republicans, conservatives overcome their reluctance and resistance to voting early and voting by mail,
or early indications are that people understand it's not the system we want, but the only way you're ever going to change the system, and I I would love to see uh election day be a national holiday.
I'd like to see a return to paper ballots and paper ballots only.
Uh exceptions obviously for the sick, the elderly, the infirmed, the military, and things like that.
But one day voting, I don't, you know, this this endless stream of voting for weeks on end is frustrating to me.
I don't think it lends itself to the most integrity uh in the world, and I think everybody should want integrity in the system, so everybody has confidence in the results.
It it does work here in my state of Florida, I can tell you that, and they've had their problems over the years, uh, but they have mostly been resolved.
And it seems early indications are that Republicans are banking their vote.
There's a really good reason why, again, putting aside that I think you need things like you know, basic things, proof of citizenship and try and then voter ID and signature verification and chain of custody controls in command and certainly updated voter rolls,
and you definitely I believe every every single polling place in America should have observers, partisan observers that get to watch the voting all day and the vote counting all night, and I don't mean a two thousand feet away.
I think that should be basic.
I think it should be fundamental.
And what's the downside of that?
Except you have more integrity and and confidence in in elections in our country.
And that's why, you know, countries that had experimented in the past with other ways like Canada, France, they've they've gone back to paper ballots.
Um, but we'll see over time.
The way you make that happen is to win elections.
Uh we have a lot of good polling data, but I'm urging most of you not to let any polling data, good or bad, impact or affect how you're thinking or approaching this election.
And I'm standing by by that.
And I repeated it so often about banking your vote, voting early, and and some people got mad at me.
And I'm just saying that you can't start out election day down hundreds of thousands of votes, and you know, God forbid Joe Bustardi tells me he thinks we might have a couple more hurricanes this year.
Well, what if what if one happens the week of election week?
Uh and you think that can't happen?
It absolutely can happen.
And so it's better, you know, to vote at your leisure.
You know, if you're as a public service, we have on Hannity.com, you know, how to register in your state, your commonwealth, uh, when early voting starts, when early voting stops.
It's all available to public service, Hannity.com, and I hope you'll take advantage of it.
We also have the Kamala Files, her radicalism and her own words, and the walls files, his radicalism and his own words, and it's all there available for you.
Um, we're now at the point where we call this closing argument time.
And and I touched on this a lot last week, and I want to touch on it a little bit more, and there were a couple of things that I saw over the weekend that just it just really highlights exactly where the Democrats are going.
And I watched, you know, Donald Trump at McDonald's, and I was like, I I I I honestly thought it was some of the best video of him I've ever seen in my life because I know the person personally, and the guy that was you know doing the French fries and serving customers is the person that I know.
Extraordinarily personable.
If you meet him, you can't help but like him.
And Democrats now have doubled down on their vitriol against Donald Trump.
That it it it is it's getting worse and worse and worse every day.
And that Donald Trump, you know, now is a fascist, and he's a Nazi.
And you know, somebody compared him to what?
Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin.
I I mean, uh is there anything else you want to call the guy?
Now, this is what Democrats do.
We see it every two years, every four years, every election year.
And, you know, uh Miranda Devine actually pointed out I didn't I didn't see this in the Atlantic Atlantic magazine where uh somebody named Ann Applebaum wrote a she wrote hilarious anti-Trump diatribe entitled Trump is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.
Okay.
You know, let's pick the biggest mass murderers in the world.
Let's call Donald Trump that.
And then of course the race card is being played harder than I've I think I've ever seen a been played before.
There is deep panic.
You could hear it when surrogate of Kamala Barack Obama was out there excoriating, lecturing, and being condescending to African American men, uh that the brothers, you know, don't seem too inclined to vote for, and maybe it's because she's a woman.
Like, uh, really?
Okay.
What this really now, the choice.
This is a choice election, if ever there was one.
And the choice is basic, it is fundamental, and it is simple.
Now, we have exposed Kamala Harris's radicalism.
We've exposed her her insane, insane green new deal, 93 trillion, cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, and the capitalism plan that she co-sponsored in the U.S. Senate with Bernie Sanders.
We have exposed her belief in government run health care for all and the elimination of private health insurance, and that health care would even cover illegal immigrants.
They would get free housing, free food, health care, education.
And if you're in Minnesota, you get a legal driver's license, you get free college education.
And of course, sex change operations, taxpayer funded on top of the amnesty that she's she's now offering.
Uh she can't do interviews because she can't answer for her radical stated positions and her in her own words.
He's uh as I suspected and have been saying for some time, she's going to escape this entire campaign from that scrutiny.
But anyway, so Donald Trump, two things that he did, and and I one was on Fox and Friends this morning.
He was in a barbershop with my my good friend Lawrence Jones, and they were just talking.
And then we have Donald Trump yesterday serving up French fries, and and to be honest, it was a point he was making.
Kamala Harris said she worked in a McDonald's, and she said it repeatedly, and there's been no evidence of anybody ever able to just provide one bit of data that it ever happened.
Now, Linda, when we said that I worked in a shipyard in Warren, Rhode Island once, people started a questioning started questioning whether I was telling the truth.
And I said, Would you call over?
I think they're still in business.
It's called Blount Marine.
I didn't work there long, but I worked there.
And it was after Yeah, you called, and sure enough, they had my employment record, right?
They sure did.
All right, so and and this was after I had fallen off her roof and broke my arm, and uh I needed a job desperately at that point in my life.
I was living paycheck to paycheck.
I didn't I didn't have time to be out of work.
And if it wasn't for one, you know, it was a tough guy foreman named Mac, he hires me, and then he sees me walking around and my arm's a mess, and he goes, What's up with that arm?
I said, uh, I fell off her roof.
I broke it and dislocated it.
And he's like, Oh, good grief.
He goes, I'm giving you two weeks.
He goes, You see that house over there?
The owner, Mr. Blount lives in that house.
I don't want him seeing you with that lame arm.
And I'm gonna give you work you can do down in the hall, and you know, and but within you better be back on your, you know, you better be back.
I was better.
I was it didn't heal, but it was I was good enough that I could work.
And anyway, long so Donald Trump goes to a McDonald's and he starts serving people and he starts working the French friars.
Anyway, let's go to him yesterday, and and the crowd outside in Pen Pennsylvania was unbelievable.
But this is the guy that I know personally too.
And this is Donald Trump, you know, working at McDonald's in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
Both of them.
Okay.
Hello everybody.
I'm having a lot of fun here, everybody.
Look at that.
Look at the fake look at all the fake news over there.
Hello, everybody.
You can thank this.
And you know, this is compliments of Trump, okay?
Yes, thank you.
Mr. President, please don't let the United States become Brazil, my native Brazilian.
Oh, we'll we'll keep it good.
Please we're gonna make it better than ever, okay?
Thank you.
Thank you, Daniel.
Yes, thank you so much.
Thank you over there.
Have a good time.
Nice to see you.
Bye, Dallas.
Thank you.
How good are these people?
Did you order anything yourself?
I'm gonna take plenty.
I'm gonna definitely have French French fries for the plane.
Have you seen the people over there?
That is thousands of people.
Walks down with the brother.
That's great.
How are you?
Nice to see you.
He's my guy.
Great great cinematographer.
Not enough.
I want more.
I want more money.
No, I'm I'm big.
I'll tell you what, it's a great franchise, it's a great company, and they've been very, very nice.
And uh and you know, if if you look at really what's happening, look at the crowd over there.
Look how happy everybody is.
They're happy because they want hope.
They need hope.
And that's what we're doing, that's what we're gonna give much more than hope.
We're gonna make we're gonna take hope and make it fact.
Mr. President, you actually have worked at McDonald's now.
Now I have worked at McDonald's.
I've now worked for fifteen minutes more than Kamala.
Okay, she she never worked here.
I've now worked fifteen minutes more than Kamala, so it's I mean, it was just an amazing real moment.
And then he goes to a barbershop in the Bronx of New York with Lawrence Jones, uh, my friend, and and listen to what he starts talking about.
He starts entertaining the idea uh about completely eliminating the federal income tax.
Now, if we ever became energy dominant, I have said we'd pay off our debt and we'd be the most energy rich country on earth and we'd have billions uh it that we wouldn't have to pay but nobody would have to pay taxes, but nobody uh you know on the left is okay with that idea, especially Kamala.
But listen to this conversation.
Well, all this extra revenue w we're gonna be bringing into the country.
So do you believe at some point in time we could find a way once the country's back on its feet and getting enough revenue and paid off our debt.
Do you think it's possible to find a way to eliminate federal taxes?
There is a way.
How do you feel about the old days when we were smart, when we were a smart country, in the eighteen nineties and all this this is when the country was relatively the richest it ever was.
It had all terrorists, it didn't have an income tax.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Now we have income taxes, and we have people that are dying, they're paying tax, and they don't have the money to pay the tax.
No.
In the old days, 1890, 1880, we had so much money they had to set up committees, blue ribbon committees, how to spend our wealth.
We had no idea how to spend it with so much money.
Then we went to the income tax system and the rest of sort of history.
But uh no, there is a way.
Especially because we're the most energy rich country on earth.
I mean, I mean, think about this.
Since I moved to Florida, my tax bill will be thirteen and a half percent less this year.
And when I left, I left.
And and I just I hardly ever go back.
I sold my house, I'm done.
And I said it at the time, and thank God Fox has a uh bureau down here, and uh I I happen to be in a position where I can originate both radio and TV from anywhere, and I do.
And anyway, so it's it just it really wasn't just financial only for me.
It got to the point when I was in New York City, I didn't if I was with friends, the the people in that city have gotten so insane and so radical that I just didn't I felt like I was putting friends and loved ones at at risk.
You know, and and then the Democratic immediate reaction to Donald Trump, he loves McDonald's.
You go on Donald Trump's plane, they either have McDonald's, Kentucky fried chicken, or they have pizza.
That's what he has, and that's what he loves to eat.
And so do I, but I just don't eat it that much.
You know, but there's no logic to Trump's McDonald's stunt, Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
New York Times sent out a fashion writer to attack his McDonald's appearance.
Rolling Stone, Trump makes fries at McDonald's in bizarre attempt to troll Harris.
Uh newsweek, McDonald's uh Donald Trump worked at failed uh last uh the one he worked at failed their last health inspection.
I mean, this is how they how insane it was.
And then he goes to the football game yesterday, and well, we'll play the reaction later, but he goes to the Steelers Jets game, and it was like I'll I'll play for you in a minute in a minute, but it's unbelievable.
chanting USA, we want Trump, we want Trump.
USA!
You ever hear that at any Kamala rally?
I don't know.
I just hope that America, we're now fifteen days away.
I hope you take this very seriously and don't let polls impact you.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Here's our toll free number, it's 800, 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, only 15 days until election day, and that means two weeks from today, it'll be election eve in America.
Early voting going on now in many states, most states around the country.
And if you are interested in information about registration and when early voting starts or stops in your state, your commonwealth, you can go to Hannity.com and uh you know, find out all that information on top of uh information the state run media mob will never give you, and that's Kamala's radicalism extremism in her own words, and Tim Wall's radicalism, extremism in his own words.
Uh, but we put it up as a public service, and we hope it helps you.
Um I like to support companies that share my values.
This is where Coin, C-O-I-G-N.com comes in.
It is America's conservative credit card, a credit card designed by conservatives for conservatives, and with every transaction, you advance conservative causes and charities, and you even get to vote as a customer on what charities they donate to.
You may not know that a lot of what's in your wallet is often big credit card companies that funnel millions of dollars to left-wing causes and candidates, and you don't know a thing about it.
And that's the beauty of coin.
You know, it empowers all of us, you know, with every swipe to make a decision to support a company that supports our values.
You're gonna love how it looks.
It's a great looking credit card.
You'll take pride using it, bright red, we the people on the front, and coin works everywhere the visa is accepted.
It has a hundred percent U.S. based customer service, every consumer protection that you would expect from any visa card.
And what's in your wallet, well, one thing you can get out of your wallet is get woke out of your wallet and start earning cash back while fighting the liberal agenda today.
I mean, what's the downside?
I applied for mine, Linda applied for hers.
You can apply for yours now, just go to their website.
They spell coin co-i-g-n dot com.
That's C-O-I-G-N.com.
Make sure you select Hannity, my last name, and the how did you hear about us section?
Anyway, that's Coin, C-O-I-G-N.com uh today.
Anyway, so the left goes absolutely bonkers that Donald Trump went to the McDonald's over the weekend.
I love I I just love it when he shows that side of him.
And when he went to with Lawrence Jones to the barbershop, I thought it was a great experience also.
And, you know, watching the left melt down about this.
I mean, Donald Trump's had a good week.
He really has.
I mean, between, you know, Brett Bear, I mean, uh what Kamala Harris's team tried to do to Brett Bear is I know more details.
I mean, they come in, it was a scheduled 30-minute interview, supposed to start at five, they knew it was going to air at 6 p.m.
I think his analogy that they tried to ice the kicker a little bit, they didn't she didn't get there till 5 15, and it it was scheduled to be 30 minutes.
She doesn't sit down to 517.
And the first thing our staff says is, yeah, we want to cut it to 20 minutes, not the 30 that they had agreed to.
And Brett's like, you know, I barely got enough time to get in the 30 minutes.
Can we just start the interview?
And then, of course, trying to filibuster and not answering questions under any circumstances.
Didn't work out well for her, in my view.
Then she doesn't show up at the Al Smith dinner.
Donald Trump crushes it, and a great moment for him.
Uh, Donald Trump showing up at this McDonald's to make a point.
Kamala claims she had worked at McDonald's.
She never worked at a McDonald's that anyone could ever prove.
Never worked there.
Um, and I don't know why people, you know, don't call her and Tim Walls out on a lot of their lies.
You know, and I I it's to me, it's pretty unbelievable.
You know, they lie that, oh, Donald Trump is going to take away Social Security and Medicare.
Now they're closing argument.
Donald Trump is racist.
He's so racist that he's he's he's going to put use the military and put journalists in jail.
No, he's not.
It's all a lie.
He will impose a national sales tax if elected.
That's a lie.
He will use the military against American citizens.
That's a lie.
He may use the National Guard if we have writing supported by the likes of Kamala Harris and encouragement with tweeting out bail funds for rioters and going on Colbert saying they're not going to stop writing, they shouldn't stop writing, and we're not going to stop.
Take note, beware.
They're lying.
He's gonna he's gonna support a national abortion ban.
No, he's not.
He supports Project 2025.
I I do this every day.
I've never looked at Project 2025.
Donald Trump has never looked at Project 2025, and he said so repeatedly.
The Biden administration has tried to address the border crisis since day one.
I mean, when she said that to Brett Bear, you know, they she's the woman on tape, and we played this, you know, repeatedly, saying the border's secure.
And Mayorcus is saying the borders closed.
And Joe Biden's saying the same thing.
For three years they lied to us about.
Now all of a sudden it's a problem.
And on day one, she's gonna fix inflation.
But inflation is transitory.
Now now we're now she recognizes there's not going to be one difference between me and Joe Biden.
Now they're going out of their way to point out the differences with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and how she will be different, even though just a week and a half ago she said the opposite on the view.
Joe Biden is, I've seen him in the situation room and in the White House.
I never noticed his mental decline.
Now they're trying to say about Donald Trump is in a cognitive decline.
Didn't look like it to me yesterday.
Pretty amazing.
They'll just pretty much lie about everything.
He's been clear about wanting to decriminalize illegal immigration, offer amnesty, free housing, health care, food education, sex change surgeries, even college and legal driver's licenses with her running mate.
It's it's lie after lie after lie.
Now they're closing argument lie is January 6th, threat to democracy, convicted felon.
Donald Trump is evil, evil, evil, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, uh transphobic.
He wants 30 year water, and he wants to take away Medicare and Social Security from grandma and grandpa and throw them off a cliff, and so they'll die.
And Walls is no better with his lies.
Uh you shouldn't be carrying a weapon like this like I carried in a war zone.
He never went to a war zone.
Unlike JD Vance.
But Project 2025 is Trump's blueprint for a second term.
No, it's not.
Lied about his using IVF to conceive.
He was in Hong Kong and said he was in Tiananmen Square.
Lied about his rank in the military.
I mean, the lies go on repeatedly.
And of course, but we got a fact check Donald Trump.
Uh I'm just a little tired of it, but the optics final weeks.
You know, here's Donald Trump leading raucous USA chance, you know, from a suite at the Jets uh Steelers game in Pittsburgh over the and this is you know, one night after speaking at a Trump rally, ex-NFL star Antonio Brown wearing MAGA gear, you know, throws uh Trump Vance rally towels out to Steelers fans.
It was pretty funny.
Uh J.D. Vance was out pouring beer for Green Bay Packers fans at a Wisconsin bar, which I thought was pretty cool too.
I mean, you want to talk about who seem to be for the working men and women in this country, there's a reason every union for the most part, they're not endorsing the Democrat like they historically do.
The big shift, and I've been pointing this shift out for a long time, is that the Democratic Party has become the party of radicalized coastal elites, you know, those that want sanctuary cities and states, those that want defund,
dismantled no bail laws, uh, those that think that gender affirming care, states like Minnesota, California, those states sound familiar, you know, would offer gender affirming care for minors even without parental consent.
Whatever happened to parents' rights, rights.
You know, dangers now are uh endangered Democrats are actually bragging about their ties to Donald Trump.
Bob Casey is doing it.
Two polls this weekend showed Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania now leading incumbent Bob Casey.
We see that uh Bertie Moreno in Ohio has closed the gap dramatically.
Mike Rogers has done the same thing in Michigan.
We're gonna start putting these guys on regular.
These are races now.
This could blow this out.
And I urge people, if you want Trump's agenda to get passed, he needs a Republican House and Senate to do it.
He's gonna need the help.
And you know, uh Kamala Harris is, you know, I guess she went to some predominantly African American churches in Georgia over the weekend.
And the only good thing is Stevie Wonder played and wished her happy birthday.
Uh, but anyway, then apparently people got on buses and went straight to the polls that I guess were open on on the weekend in Georgia this weekend.
Uh, but if uh, you know, I'm watching this.
If if Kamala Harris thinks that Liz Cheney, who previously labeled her a radical and stands against everything that she believes in, meaning Kamala, and just hates Donald Trump so much and is on a revenge tour, who has her own problems uh as as it relates to her handling of of this January 6th uh show committee.
Uh it's going to be very interesting that, you know, this is this is what's happened to the Chaneys.
Really, really pathetic, to be honest.
Uh anyway, Donald Trump has a huge crowd in North Carolina today, and also at an event in Asheville for recovery where recovery efforts for Hurricane Helena is going on.
And oh, here's one interesting side note is Joe Biden will not appear with Kamala Harris before election day.
Democratic pollster for Bill Clinton, Mark Penn, is saying that Donald Trump right now has the edge.
But don't take that to the bank.
You know, I'm I'm hesitant to bring up a lot of the polls.
I have them all in front of me.
I can share them with you, and there's a lot of good news today.
And some of it is just outright bewildering.
But uh, and and even though it's good for Donald Trump, there are polls now showing he's winning nationally.
I mean, but then on the other hand, it's it's just it's just it's too close for comfort.
And that's why when I'm saying to people, don't let polls emotionally impact what you need to do or believe in your heart you need to do for the country.
Because I I know, you know, you don't want to get too high or too low.
I've used the analogy, I've been in the ratings game my whole life, and when ratings are great, I'm like, uh, I feel really good about it.
Um but for about five minutes, and then I move on.
And then I got another show to do.
And if it's bad, I look at it, I'm like, uh, what did I do wrong?
You know, and you wonder, all right, how can I improve?
And and it's sort of like in in this case, you don't want polls to impact or affect what you want to do and want done for your country.
And if everybody in Georgia And North Carolina and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Michigan and Arizona and Nevada.
If if all of you just assume your vote is going to determine the outcome of this presidential election, that that is the urgency I want everybody to have.
You know, and you know, but it's very clear what their closing arguments are.
Donald Trump.
Now we're going to come, we're going to go as far as to compare him to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini all in one.
The biggest mass murderers, fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism.
Great.
However, let's call him a fascist, Nazi, Stalinist, an insurrectionist, threat to democracy.
Let's call him unhinged and deranged another four million times.
I'm not sure if you saw this.
Elon Musk apparently had to update upgrade his security.
He's been campaigning in Pennsylvania and other states for Donald Trump as a left-wing magazine labeled him public enemy number two.
What?
They've tried to assassinate public enemy number one.
And if you're Elon Musk, and you can afford it like he can, thankfully, because the government's not going to provide him a thing.
He's not running for office.
He's not running for the presidency.
And I'm not so sure I have the faith and confidence in I do in the rank and file, but not the people that ran Butler and that were in charge.
I mean, we're now learned this whole thing was preventable.
Of course it was preventable.
And the worst part is they lied and said, well, the Secret Service head at the time, well, it was all sloped roof issue.
And still you looked at the sloped roof.
It didn't look too sloped.
And having done roofing, I would know.
And then immediately thereafter, the second would be assassin in the bushes in a known area where paparazzi hang out within close range of where Donald Trump plays golf and is known to play golf.
And they didn't even sweep the area.
But the new acting Secret Service had, because the first one wasn't going to leave and then had to leave.
I mean, just disgraceful.
Then that person says, oh, the plan worked.
How do you say the plan?
The guy got within 300 yards with an AK 47 with a scope on it.
How do you define working?
That didn't work at all.
Anyway, I don't want any public official.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican, a Democratic somebody I know in Democratic politics or texting and says, yeah, threat levels for this particular person, their family have gone up.
I said, if there's anything I can do, let me know.
I'd love to help you.
I don't want anybody getting hurt, whether I agree or disagree with them.
Anyway, the House Task Force investigating the attempts on Trump's life.
The findings are simple.
It was all preventable.
All of it.
Every bit of it.
Anyway, so Kamala Harris goes to two churches over the weekend.
The cool thing is Stevie Wonder was there, but putting that aside, uh, after services, buses took congregants straight to early polling places and at both churches.
Um we also have I'm not sure why Harris is leaning on Liz Cheney.
I don't think Democrats like the Chaneys.
And Republicans definitely don't like Liz Cheney.
So I'm like, who's her constituency?
So you're going to say every single person she's sending out as a surrogate, Gretchen Whitmer, that didn't work out well.
Bill Clinton, well, Legan Riley would be alive today.
You know, just met these, you know, immigrants at the border.
Well, that's exactly what she hasn't done, her job.
And then Bill Clinton, his demeaning comments about quote, the brothers not supporting Kamala because maybe she's a woman.
How degrading is that?
Export Selection
