Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, it is election day in America.
If there's voting going on, that's election day.
And this is early voting still ongoing.
By the way, over the weekend in some states, uh, and as a public service, we put up how you can register to vote, regardless of party, Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter.
Uh, and when early voting starts and stops in your state, your commonwealth, uh, some states will be stopping early voting as early as next week.
Uh, and that would mean you then would be eligible to vote if you're registered, assuming you're registered on election day.
Um, and uh, but I urge people to bank their vote.
Joe Bistardi is pretty adamant that there is a risk that we may have one, if not two more hurricanes.
I pray it's not true, but he keeps telling me it's a strong possibility.
I want to go back to our top story of the day because it's so repulsive, it's so disgusting.
Hillary Clinton out there uh saying on fake news CNN that uh she and this is the day after Kamala said that that uh uh Donald Trump was a fascist, and now she goes to the Hitler analogy, talking about Donald Trump going to Madison Square Garden.
It sold out in like an hour, uh, comparing it to Hitler's rally in 1939.
I write about this in my book, the former First Lady continued, and President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazi fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they are seeing in Germany, so I don't think we can ignore it.
Um we have a whole history of this, but here's what she said.
You know, one other thing that you'll see next week, Caitlin, is Trump actually uh reenacting uh the Madison Square Garden rally in nineteen thirty-nine.
I write about this in my book.
Uh President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo-Nazis, fascists in America, were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany.
So I don't think we can ignore it.
Now, it may be a leap for some people, and a lot of others may think, I don't want to go there.
I don't want to say that.
But please open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country.
Uh, because I think it is clear and present for anybody paying attention.
I mean, it is so reckless, it is so irresponsible, it is so untrue.
And this is now we have a history of this is what Democrats do.
Uh, to the credit of House Speaker Mike Johnson, he joined with I'm not the biggest fan of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, warning Kamala Harris that she could be encouraging another assassination attempt, and that would mean her surrogate.
We have both been briefed on the ongoing and persistent threats to former President Donald Trump by adversaries.
We've had two would-be assassins, one full-on assassination attempt that came within a millimeter of taking his life.
We have Iranian assassination squads in the country, and Democrats' closing argument is Trump is a racist, a fascist, and a Nazi, and he's hit a Adolf Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.
Anyway, they go on and say, and we call on the vice president to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats.
And after the first assassination attempt this summer of a presidential candidate, more than a century, President Biden insisted that we can't allow this violence to be normalized in September after President Trump escaped yet another close call.
Vice President Harris acknowledged we must all do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.
As whether Trump was a fascist, he said yes.
I went through the history of this.
I mean, go back to you can go back to Barry Goldwater, 1964.
And you had, as he was running for president, you had celebrities, you had journalists, politicians, warning that that Goldwater was an extreme fascist who would cause uh considerable harm to the country.
He And this is a guy, by the way, that served as a pilot during World War II.
And he's being likened to Nazis and fascists who are promoting conservatism during his presidential campaign.
Even at the time, Governor Pat Brown uh remarked about Goldwater's acceptance speech, claiming it would had the stench of fascism.
All we needed to hear was Heil Hitler.
And there were others, you know, Hubert Humphrey referring to Richard Nixon.
You know, if the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London.
And if the Democrats don't fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.
And the comparisons for Nixon, they pretty much never stopped ever.
And, you know, there's a me uh news cycle from October of 72, and you can see it on the CIA's website referring to Nixon's Nazis as part of the commentary and criticism.
Uh Gerald Ford, same thing.
If President Ford's principle had been the rule in Nuremberg, I mean, and by the way, this is the ACLU criticizing Ford for his lack of punitive action against Nixon.
The Nazi leaders would have been let off.
And the only people who carried out their schemes would have been tried.
They said that the same thing about Reagan all the time, that he's going to start World War III.
He was a warmonger, Congressman William Clay stated Reagan wanted to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts, lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.
George W. Bush might have been the Republican who's got got the most Nazi analogies prior to Trump, you know, called every dirty name in the book on a regular basis, and examples of linking Bush to Hitler, Nazis, fascist, Mitt Romney, even Mitt Romney and John McCain.
Romney in his case, many Democrats that they love so much today when he was running was linked to Nazism and fascism.
One delegate from Kansas said Romney was a habitual liar and likened him to Hitler.
Paul Ryan, same thing.
This is their their tried and true desperation.
It is disgusting.
It is repulsive.
And in this environment where we've had now two would-be assassins, it is just downright dangerous for the country.
And I don't think it can be said enough.
Anyway, Senator Mike Lee is here from Utah.
Senator, how are you?
Uh glad you're with us.
Uh what is your reaction to all this?
Well, look, anytime somebody's throwing around terms like fascism or using what we call ad hit lerum attacks, they're desperate.
The Kamala Harris campaign is desperate to breathe new life into a campaign that's been failing ever since it got off the ground.
That is after the initial honeymoon period of a few weeks when nobody was asking any questions about what she believes, what she has said, what she's done in office.
So these are acts of desperation.
And they are, moreover, quite ironic.
These are rich coming from people who very much want the government that would exercise and give in to authoritarian impulses to manage every aspect of the lives of the American people.
So I I don't think they're they're worse um giving any credence to, uh, but more importantly, if they speak to the desperation of the Kamala Harris campaign.
Dozens of former Trump staffers, including Mike Pence's chief of staff, 200 plus admirals, generals that this week have endorsed Donald Trump, have all said it is complete and utter BS and patently false, but they continue to do it.
This seems to be their closing argument.
How does this go over with the American people?
Well, look, I don't think it's going to work because uh first of all, if you want to accuse somebody of of being a Hitler in embryo, uh it's an easier accusation to make before they've actually been president of the United States.
Now, uh Democrats might not like President Trump's policies, his decisions while in office, but I don't think anybody can accuse him of having governed like a dictator because he didn't.
He reduced the overall profile of the federal government, the overall intrusiveness of the United States government rather than expanding it.
That's rather the opposite of fascism.
Oh, it really is.
All right, let's get your take on the state of the campaign.
Uh, I say it's election day today because if you can vote, it's election day, but we're only 11 days away from election day, November 5th.
Uh, and what's your take on the state of the race?
Look, um, Trump is doing really well right now.
Um uh Connell is tanking Trump is uh his ascendant, and I think the signs are looking very positive for President Trump.
We also have to pay attention to uh other federal races going on.
I think it's very important that Trump come into office and that he have a Republican Congress uh to work with.
Uh we've got huge opportunities that we're seizing as Republicans.
Uh in uh uh, of course, West Virginia, where we're gonna pick up a seat, Montana, where we're very likely to pick up a seat.
Ohio, which I just returned from or is campaigning with my friend Bernie Moreno up there.
He's very he's looking good.
He's now he's now taking a lead.
Uh Mike Rogers is within one in Michigan.
We have Dave McCormick taking a lead in Pennsylvania.
Uh we have a very close race in Wisconsin as well.
Did you go to Wisconsin?
Yeah, I've just got a phone with my friend Ron Johnson, Eric Humphie's doing uh really well up there.
I've been down to Arizona a couple times, worked with Kerry Lake, Sam Brown in Nevada uh is is doing well.
We've got a chance even in New Mexico with uh Nella Diminichy.
So um I think it's very, very likely, Sean, that at the end of this, we're gonna end up with a Senate Republican majority of 53 or 54 seats.
The House is a little bit closer right now, but if Trump wins, which at this point I think he's going to, I think his coattails are going to be long enough uh to pull enough of our candidates to victory in the House that they'll end up with with a clean sweep with both houses of Congress aligned with the Republican Party.
We continue now with uh U.S. Senator from the great uh state of Utah, Mike Lee is with us.
It's kind of amazing the the cycle of of Kamala Harris.
She starts out as one of the most disliked vice presidents in the hist and in modern history, and then there's this this silent coup uh and threats apparently to Joe Biden that they'd invoke the 25th amendment if he doesn't step aside.
And it seems that the people involved were Obama, Schumer, Pelosi in particular.
Uh, I'm sure we'll get the full story one day, but you know, as we try to piece together what really happened here.
And in comes Kamala Harris, not getting a single vote.
Joe Biden pushed aside.
Uh meanwhile, everybody ignored his his significant cognitive decline for the entire time he was president.
I was warning about it before he ever be, you know, uh ran in 2020.
And in the beginning, I was brutally attacked for saying the obvious or stating the obvious.
And and in she comes, and and then all of a sudden the joy campaign emerges.
And then we do some vetting of Kamala Harris, co-sponsoring New Green Deal, 93 trillion, elimination of the filibuster with Bernie Sanders, co-sponsoring government health care, Medicare for all, elimination of private health insurance.
Then we find, oh, I will ban fracking, I will ban offshore drilling.
Uh then we find Kamala Harris in 2020, uh, four days after a police precinct is burned on the ground in Minneapolis.
Uh, she's tweeting out a bail fund for the writers and the people involved in the writing, and then going on Colbert saying they won't stop, they shouldn't stop, and we're gonna not gonna stop.
Then you have her extreme positions and defund and dismantle no bail laws reimagining ice, reimagining the police.
Uh then you have the insanity of her border policies, and we know what they are, which is uh, you know, decriminalizing illegal immigration, pre-housing, food, health care, education, uh, sex change operations if you want them.
If you include a running mate, you get also free college and a legal driver's license and a path to amnesty.
Uh never mind her foreign policy where she and Joe Biden helped make the Iranians rich again, the number one state sponsor of terror by turning a blind eye to sanctions.
So I don't think they can run on this question.
Are you better off than you were four years ago?
Because they can't name a single topic.
Oh, that's exactly right.
And Sean, that was a brilliant list of uh Kabbalah's offenses uh uh against the American people, uh against the cause of freedom.
Um there's only one of them, but only one that I would add.
I would add one other that's getting too little attention.
Kamala has uh one of the centerpieces of her legislative agenda during her short four year tenure as a U.S. Senator introduced a bill called the Do No Harm Act.
Now, the mainstream media covers this not at all.
The reason they don't is because the Do No Harm Act would completely gut the religious freedom restoration act.
This is a bill that passed with an overwhelming bipartisan supermajority in the early 1990s, was signed into law by Democratic President Bill Clinton.
And it protects the religious freedom of Americans whose religious freedom might sometimes intersect with whatever the law requires or the government requires it any given time.
It's a very good law that serves the American people.
Well, Kammala would completely gut it.
She would gut it in any circumstance where anyone suffered what she referred to as dignitary harm, meaning they felt insulted by something.
And there's pretty much nothing left of the religious freedom restoration act at that point.
So if you are a religious minority, or if you're a religious person, one who hosts a traditional uh Christian or Jewish or some other traditional belief that sometimes runs afoul of of what the government would have you do, this should be really concerning to you.
And that's why, notwithstanding the fact that uh the polls are looking good for us, in many respects, we cannot let up.
We've got to be as diligent as ever.
We can take nothing for granted.
Because the fact is that she's got the mainstream news media, she's got the entertainment media industry behind her.
She's got so many people gunning for her.
And uh even though she's struggling, they're backfilling her inadequacies in ways that make her stronger than she should be.
We cannot let up.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah, as always, uh, you know what?
You could do a focus group at Crown Burger, best one of the best burgers in the country.
That in the In and Out Burger.
Anyway, we appreciate you being with us.
Thank you, sir.
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
The radio show, the mainstream media loves date.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, we're gonna hit the phones in just a minute.
Um, but before that, we haven't we don't have the ability really on this show to pay attention to all these congressional races.
Um what I have been saying to people is, and we have paid attention to some of the closed Senate races in some of the swing states, like well, we're watching uh this guy Hobdee in in uh Wisconsin.
He now can take uh he can win this race against Tammy Baldwin.
If Donald Trump wins Wisconsin, he could win as well.
Just like Mike Rogers can win in Michigan, just like Bernie Moreno can win in Ohio, just like Dave McCormick can win in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and then we've got a shot out in Nevada and even New Mexico as Mike Lead said.
Uh so we're watching all of it.
And uh, the only thing I would remind you is if you're going to vote for Donald Trump and you believe that he has the right plan for our borders for law and order and safety and security, if you believe in his economic plans, which is are to lower taxes,
become the most energy dominant country on the face of this earth, and that he would bring more peace and stability on the world stage, then you go you're gonna he's gonna need help, and that means in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.
One of the phenomenons of 2022 when the red wave didn't really materialize, was the real the real reason, and one of the only reasons that Republicans got power in the U.S. House of Representatives, although that albeit a very tiny majority, is because, believe it or not, of states like New York.
Lee Zeldon did so well at the top of the ticket, relatively well for a Republican in a state that has lost a lot of conservatives like me and a lot of Republicans that have said they've had enough with burdensome regulation, crime, high taxes, etc.
And they have decided to march with their feet.
You see, a lot of Wall Street companies, private equity firms, they're they're leaving as well.
Uh many are going to the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, where my free state of Florida.
And but what happened is all these Republicans got elected in in states like California and New York, and it made a difference.
One of those races happened to be in the fourth house district in New York, and right now it is a poll from Gotham polling and analytics, and it shows, for example, that this race is a dead heat.
Now, in the Senate, I don't have any doubts that Republicans will probably take control of the U.S. Senate.
The question is by how big a margin.
I mean, if we can win Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and maybe New Mexico, who knows?
I mean, it could be a game changer.
They'd be able to get a lot done.
And if they can get a bigger majority in the House, you know, and win it in part the way they won it last time, except maybe now the demagoguing of abortion that went on in 2022 is not as effective as it's now people understand it's sent back to the states that um I think Republicans will do better this time is my my hope.
And again, I I I'm not making predictions.
You have to assume that your vote is going to decide every race.
And that's my I'm urging people to take nothing for granted.
Uh but one of those races that mattered and helped the Republicans get control was in the fourth district of New York, and it's a contentious battle that's going on right now.
As I said, it's a one-point race, and Republican Anthony Diaz Bosito uh is in the lead, or we're a Democrat, Laura uh Gillen.
And uh anyway, it looks like, you know, certainly a toss-up, but this is going to be an important hold seat.
And uh considering it was my own stopping grounds in Long Island, I forgot to give a quick shout out to uh this race and Congressman uh Diaz Posito.
Um all right, let's talk about your opponent.
How extreme and radical is your opponent?
Oh, Sean, thanks for having me.
Uh my opponent has uh the first time she ran for office as a supervisor in the town of Hempstead, she ran into the working families party.
Obviously, they've called for the outright defunding of police.
She supports Kamala Harris and all the disastrous policies that they've put in place uh over the last uh you know three and a half years, and and what we've seen in New York.
Um Laura Gillen donated through her campaign hundreds of thousands of dollars to the architects of cashless bail and criminal justice reform, whether it be Cuomo, Hokel or Todd Kaminsky.
So she's as far left as they're gonna come.
She's bad for Long Island, she's bad for New York, and she's certainly bad for the United States.
I know maybe many people think, although Donald Trump says he's gonna make a play for New York or New Jersey.
I hope he does.
And New Hampshire now is a three-point race.
And Virginia's tightened significantly.
My my question to you is explain exactly where your district is in Long Island.
So my district is the southwest corner of Long Island, which runs from the city line, uh, the Queens border, which is where UBS Arena is, where the Islanders play out to Seaford and Wontaw, uh, from Old Country Road down to the beaches.
And it's a district that um Joe Biden won in 2020 by sixteen and a half points.
Uh Democrats held the congressional seat there for over twenty-five years, and in twenty twenty-two we were able to flip it.
And you know Nassau County politics pretty well, and you know that uh Republicans control uh all four countywide seats.
We control three towns in two cities.
Um and uh the the pendulum is certainly swinging, and uh I believe that in a in a district where there's seventy thousand more Democrats uh than Republicans in a district where Joe Biden won by sixteen and a half points.
Uh when people say it's gonna be a tough race, it should be a tough race because it's a tough district.
But I think when we see uh President Trump, and I haven't seen one poll uh that has President Trump uh less than even, uh that tells a very important story of where this district is headed.
Well, and and Nassau County, which is a big part of your district run by Burst Blakeman, uh um uh has done a really good job of of putting governance back in Nassau County where I formerly lived.
And uh I think this is an important race for New York.
And so what's your what's your what's your closing message to the people in your district?
I think that uh it it's important to sh to show what I've done over the last year and a half, part of the Homeland Security Committee, the Transportation Infrastructure Committee, we put HR2, the Secure the Border Act, in place, and obviously it's sat on Chuck Schumer's desk because the Democrats don't want to secure the border.
I've brought uh working with Bruce Blakeman and others over thirty million dollars back to the district uh for infrastructure projects and uh community community projects.
Um and I've been accessible out there talking to the voters.
I've been a staunch advocate and supporter of Israel, and as you know, a big part of the district is the Orthodox Jews, which very often are not part of the polls that are done.
So uh while I'm I'm gonna always run like I'm ten points behind, I'm confident that on election night uh we're gonna see a big victory.
We're gonna hold the seats that we have in New York and maybe even uh add one or two.
Well, this is a race of Republicans want to widen their majority.
These these districts that were one in 2022 that tip the balance of power in the House are important to hold on to, and that would include yours.
Uh anyway, we appreciate it and we'll follow up very closely, Congressman uh Anthony Diaz Posito.
Thank you, sir.
Sean, thanks for having me.
All right, let's get to our busy telephone, shall we?
800 nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh let's say hi to Professor Cheryl in California.
Uh, what's going on, Professor?
How are you?
Uh, you know, Sean, uh, today is uh the ending of Simchus Torah, and it's a time when you're supposed to be, you know, happy because it uh the Ten Commandments which influence the development of our American legal system were given to Moses, and I'll tell you,
listening to Kamala compare President Trump to Hitler, I have done nothing but sit on the phone with my aunt who's ninety-nine, my aunt who's ninety-five, and I'm sitting next to my mom who's gonna be ninety-seven in three weeks.
They are all Holocaust survivors.
My mom was in Auschwitz, she was in Geisling, and she was liberated by the Americans in Dachau.
She was in displaced persons' camps and didn't come to the United States until 1950.
And they all 100% love and support and are voting for President Trump.
And I'll tell you, you know, for Hillary to talk about um Madison Square Gardens.
So um there's an Israeli Orthodox um performer, Ishai Rabbo, who just had two sold out performances in Madison Square Gardens, Bob Dylan, Jewish, Billy Joel, Jewish, all performed in Madison Square Gardens.
Are they Hitler?
Are they anti Semites?
President Trump has a town named after him in Israel.
It's called Trump Heights in the Golan.
Why would Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people, name a town after Hitler.
Hitler killed for the people who don't know.
Six million Jews, twelve million people, including all different kinds of people from you know, gypsies and and the infirm and whatever.
His whole plan was to annihilate the Jewish people.
President Trump signed an order protecting Jewish students on campuses, including anti Israel activity.
Meanwhile, this last year, after October 7th, with all of the anti Semitism on campuses, what did Kamala do?
Absolutely nothing.
He stopped the lame duck Carrie Obama 220 million dollar payment to the Palestinian authority back in 2017.
What you know, because they wanted to pay terrorists who killed Jews.
What did Kamala do?
They sent money, they emboldened Iran, which emboldened all of the proxies.
They sent money into Gaza.
That's what helped build all the terror tunnels that killed twelve hundred innocent people that were raped, they were brutalized, they were murdered, they were burned, and we still have American hostages, not just Israelis, but Americans being held hostage right now by Hamas.
Professor, I want you to stay on the line.
This it was a long time caller of this radio program who was a victim of the Holocaust.
And her name was Hannah.
And she educated this audience for years about the Holocaust.
And sadly, she passed away a number of years ago.
And I loved her dearly.
She was a sweetheart.
Uh and I'm now friends with her daughter Pearl, who happened to call in today.
And Pearl, welcome back to the program.
We still miss your mom.
You know that.
Uh say hi to Professor Katz out in California.
You just heard her story.
Yes.
And I appreciate you all coming calling in.
I mean, I I I just can't believe that this is what this is what the modern radicalized extreme, dangerous democratic parties become.
It's this this is frightening stuff, especially in light of, you know, all the violence that has taken place this election season.
And I highly agree with Professor Katz.
We are both children of Holocaust survivors known as second generation, and we feel exactly the same way.
I am horrified and frightened to be living in this country that my mother loved, where President of the United States now running again, has been called a Nazi people that they believe.
He's been compared to Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin.
You know, mass murderers, the the worst evil in the world.
That's what they're saying Donald Trump is.
The big problem is they don't have they're clueless.
They don't have any idea what Hitler was.
They they just even Hillary, she's supposed to be this brilliant woman.
She has no idea what Hitler did.
They came into my mother's town.
Everyone was ripped out of my mother's town.
Shot.
Babies were pulled apart and shot in front of my mother, and they're calling Trump a Nazi.
Now, if she's calling Trump a Nazi, by stating that, Sean, is she also accusing 50% of this country of being Nazi?
Pretty much.
I mean, that's how I interpret it, but we are irredeemable deplorables, aren't we?
Your mother was a very special lady, Pearl.
She really was.
And she she really gave us all an education of uh a very hard truth that evil exists.
I wrote a book about evil.
It was called Deliver Us from Evil.
And I talk about, I I write about in that book about the n uh the death camps.
I write about, you know, people being brought in on those trains and they would give them false hope.
Are there any nurses here?
Oh, good, we can put you to work.
Any any plumbers here, oh, we can put you to work.
And then oh, so people are like, oh, okay, maybe I'm not gonna die.
And then they'd walk him right into the gas chamber and kill 'em.
I mean, it that is the embodiment of evil.
And that's what they want people to think of Donald Trump, because they can't run on policy.
They can't.
What they're doing is repulsive.
It is disgusting.
It is the lowest form of politics you could ever have, and they've done it every election season, but not to the this extent.
This is the worst it's ever been.
Um, I have to run because I'm coming up here on a break, but I appreciate both of you, Professor Katz.
Thank you, Pearl, God bless you.
And uh we miss your mom dearly.
Thank you.
800-941 Sean is our number.
You know, every gun owner imagines what they'll do if they have a burglar breaking into their home.
They'd be the hero, taking out the threat, keeping their family safe.
But this is where your nightmare may begin.
There are powerful people in DC that hate the fact that you even have a gun and will try to jail or bankrupt you if God forbid you have to protect your life, defending your actions, could end up ruining you.
Now, this is why I've been a proud member of the US ECA for nine years.
You get world-class training, self-defense liability insurance.
