Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We're coming to your city.
The Blasio was actually able to make it tonight, to be honest.
He was a terrible man.
I don't give a if this is comedy enough.
Bernie Sanders, Dick Cheney, Taylor Swift.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Having the Cheneys on board?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You can't.
Dick Cheney or Taylor Swift.
Every time you have somebody that is a friend of yours, you know, somebody said, well, you know, I'm going to vote for Trump.
Just so you know what you're voting for, do you really want me to go to jail?
Because that's what you're voting for.
The clock is ticking.
Only 12 more 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.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
And thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It is 800-941 Sean if you want to join us.
Mark Halpern will join us today.
He's the guy that's been saying a lot of things that are getting Democrats very nervous.
And that is that if the early vote continues to look this good for Republicans, it may be anticlimactic on Election Day.
As I look at the data, in other words, enough Republicans now have embraced early voting, voting by mail, not the system we want.
I've been through it a million times, but the system we're stuck with.
But I will say this.
It is Election Day in America in many states.
It is.
If you can vote, it's Election Day.
And officially, Election Day is November 5th.
That would be 12 days from today.
But I am urging everybody, not the system I want.
I keep saying, but the system we're stuck with, you can't change the system unless you win elections.
But you want to bank your vote.
I keep reminding you, I'm having daily conversations and texting with Joe Bastardi about the possibility of, for example, God forbid, I hope it doesn't happen.
I never want to see it happen.
But a potential of a hurricane.
What if a hurricane comes the day before Election Day or the weekend before Election Day?
And it's devastating as Helene was to North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.
I mean, it could have a huge impact.
And that's why that might be one advantage.
The other thing is, is Republicans have the ability to identify, and Laura Trump was saying this last night, the people that vote early.
And what does that mean?
She goes, well, that means that all the texts that come to you and all the, I guess, emails or whatever, however people communicate and get to you, you know, the harassment will stop and they will focus their attention on people that they know have not voted, including what they call low propensity voters, maybe people that would lean Republican that maybe vote every other election, every third election, whatever.
They don't vote regularly, but may be interested in voting this time.
And especially if you give them a little push and a little nod, et cetera, it could be beneficial to them.
There is so much news out there every day.
I mean, I am like drowning in voluminous amounts of paper.
And we do that every day, but it's at a level that I can't even describe to you.
And I am getting daily data, but I'm just urging caution.
I really am.
I can give you anecdotally.
We will go over polls today.
And they are good for Donald Trump.
But whether they're good or bad, I don't care.
I am especially speaking to people in the states that will determine the outcome of this election.
And we know what they are.
We don't know what states we're talking about.
Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada.
That's it.
And, you know, the polls are looking good, but it's very close on paper.
Now, it was a lot less close.
It looked like the Democrats were running away with it in both 2016 and 2020.
That's not the case anymore.
You know, where Joe Biden was up by eight points at this time in 2020, Kamala is up by like 0.2, where he was up like four and a half points in the Battleground states.
Donald Trump is now leading by over a point.
So it's just, it's a massive swing.
What should that mean to you?
Nothing when it comes to if you don't want the radical Green New Deal, the elimination of the filibuster to pass it, she co-sponsored it with Bernie.
If you don't want the elimination of private health insurance, if you don't want government health care for all, which she co-sponsored with Bernie Sanders, if you don't want free housing, food, health care, education, sex change operations, legal driver's licenses, path to citizenship, amnesty that Kamala is offering, or free college education that our vice president wants to offer in his state.
You know, this election means something.
If you believe in law and order and you want your town and your city more safe and secure, this is something to vote for.
If you want strength on the world stage, she doesn't have it.
And I think that one of the worst things that Biden and Harris have done is abandon Israel.
There's never been a president more friendly to the state of Israel, but they have no problem going out there and calling him Adolf Hitler, a fascist.
He called him, you know, used the Adolf Hitler line.
I think it was yesterday.
He used the fascist line on fake news, CNN.
That was an awful town hall.
I mean, the word salads, you know, asked a very simple, basic, fundamental question that she doesn't want to answer.
And it is spectacularly, you know, well, first she says Trump is a fascist.
Let's play that one first.
Let's play if she's a fascist.
He who has openly admired dictators said he would be a dictator on day one.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has said he is a fascist to the core.
You've quoted General Milley calling Donald Trump a fascist.
You yourself have not used that word to describe him.
Let me ask you tonight: do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.
All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is.
This is a window into who Donald Trump really is.
There's never been a stronger supporter of the state of Israel in the modern era than Donald J. Trump, who moved the embassy to its rightful home in Jerusalem, who after October 7th, well, he also recognized the Golan Heights and the West Bank as Israeli territory.
There has never been, after October 7th, instead of telling restraint, restraint, a forefront war.
Houdi rebels, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Iranians firing ballistic missiles.
Well, just be happy they didn't land.
Take that as a win.
Don't fight back because we're not going to support you in your efforts.
Donald Trump, win your war against radical Islamic terrorism.
And the reason Iran got so rich, they weren't getting rich under Donald Trump because his sanctions worked and it was impoverishing the entire country of Iran, probably bringing them to the brink of a revolution that would have taken the radical Islamic terrorists out.
But Kamala doesn't want you to say the word radical Islamic terrorists.
It is pretty unbelievable.
And, you know, we're going to have Ronnie Jackson on later.
He actually put a post up yesterday.
I think it was on X. If Kamala's trying to inspire another crazy lunatic, is she trying to inspire another lunatic?
This rhetoric is a disgrace.
He said it.
He's right.
Our only hope is to win by lying about Donald Trump and lie to you, and she's desperate.
And it really is unbelievable.
Anyway, so then she's asked at one point: well, you know, why haven't you done any of these things in the last four years?
And listen to this answer, or it's part of it.
It becomes a problem.
So that's why my plan, and it's a new approach, is about tax cuts for our small businesses so that they can invest in themselves and grow and, in the process, invest in communities, invest in neighborhoods, and strengthen our economy overall.
So those are some examples.
It's about a new approach, a new generation of leadership based on new ideas and, frankly, different experiences.
I bring a whole set of different experiences to this job and the way I think about it than Joe Biden.
Some voters, though, might ask, you've been in the White House for four years.
You were vice president, not the president, but why wasn't any of that done the last four years?
Well, there was a lot that was done, but there's more to do, Anderson.
And I'm pointing out things that need to be done, that haven't been done, but need to be done.
That wouldn't be done, but need to be done.
I mean, it is insane.
You know, and David Axelot on fake news CNN saying Kamala Harris's habit of going to Word Salad City when she doesn't want to answer a question.
And that was, you know, on that question.
And would she be, you know, stronger, the question of Israel, would she be stronger than Trump?
He gave a seven-minute response and didn't address the question.
I mean, it was universally panned by fake news CNN.
It was on their network.
She's in Word Salad City.
That's Axelrod.
Jennings saying at CNN, Kamala's a double threat because she can't answer anything.
Jake Tapper, she spent most of the time talking about Trump, which she tried to do in the Brett Baer interview.
Dana Bash, Kamala didn't close the deal.
That's an obvious answer.
Van Jones, the word salad stuff gets on my nerves.
David Urban, Kamala lost a one-person debate.
That's CNN commentary after CNN town hall.
And then Jake Tapper admitting that there were zero undecided voters at this event with Kamala Harris.
And I can't tell you the hundreds of people now that are coming out and supporting Donald Trump against the very bitter General Kelly, you know, kind of disgruntled.
He got fired and they're all furious.
Nick Gair is saying, I've avoided commenting on intra staff leaks, rumors, lies as it relates to my time at the White House.
But General Kelly's comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore.
I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is patently false.
But of course, Kamala runs with it and is calling the president a guy that we had two would-be assassins, came within a millimeter of being assassinated, you know, calling him Hitler and a fascist.
You think maybe they ought to ratchet down the rhetoric.
The reason they can't is because they cannot run that the borders are safer, that the economy is better because everybody knows differently.
Everything they buy and everything they and every store they go to costs more.
Everybody's sick and tired of paying high gas and energy prices, a buck, buck fifty more a gallon than you were paying.
That adds up after four years, and it was even higher at different points.
And then, of course, you know, depleting our strategic oil reserves in the process, which was pretty dumb too.
But this is what they are left with.
They can't say our towns are more safe and more secure because the crime rate has been skyrocketing as they tried to hide and alter the numbers.
They can't say anything is better off.
So that's what they left.
By the way, Trump's closing argument is they broke it.
Trump will fix it.
That's a pretty good closing argument.
And it just is dangerous, the rhetoric that they are doing, invoking Hitler every five seconds.
And like the media just goes along with it, no problem.
You know, why wasn't it done over the last four years?
You know, well, there was a lot that was done, but there's more to do.
And I'm pointing out things that need to be done, that haven't been done, but need to be done.
I'm like, here we go again.
The community is about the community inside the community where the people of the community are part of the community for the community's sake.
And she just doubles down on the fascist comments and the Nazi analogies and, you know, then admits she wants to offer amnesty to illegal immigrants, admitting now that she wants to eliminate the Senate filibuster.
I mean, this campaign is going as hardcore, vile, vicious as I've ever seen it.
And they do it every two and four years.
The usual mantra, Republicans, racist, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic.
They want dirty air and water, and they want grandma and grandpa to steal their social security and throw them over a cliff.
None of which is true.
And Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
I told you that they were going to do this.
They'll claim that JD Vance will, Victor Davis Hansen.
Yeah, they claim JD Vance was weird.
The only weird people in this campaign is this campaign.
And that would be Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Or that, you know, Kamala Harris convincing, you know, that Donald Trump was exhausted and seen.
No, they tried that.
That didn't work.
They gave up on that.
Then falsely claiming that, you know, Joe Biden, he was so sharp.
Nobody in America believed that.
And she saw him closer upfront and closer than anybody.
Now it's a fascist dictator, unfit for office.
Let's stick with that closing argument because they can't run on are you better off than you were?
Everything that they have tried has flipped.
It has flopped.
Every position she's ever taken, she's now distancing herself from, even positions when she lays out a new plan.
Oh, we're going to go after price gauging.
Then, well, no, maybe we won't go after price gauging.
Well, we're going to give benefits only to African-American men.
Oh, that's right.
That would be unconstitutional.
I didn't mean what I said.
Because she can't state her radicalism.
And the media has been complicit, abusively biased and corrupt.
I said journalism was dead in 2007 and 2008.
I had no idea how right I was.
And their closing argument ignores the fact that Americans go shopping, see the border chaos.
They put gas in their car.
They see their towns and cities less safe and secure.
And they see a world that's an absolute mess that has been turned upside down.
Donald Trump was president.
No, he's not going to terminate the Constitution.
No, he doesn't like Adolf Hitler.
No, he's not going to use the army to arrest people.
They just keep ratcheting it up to a point where you maybe low-information voters, as Rush would call them, maybe they're buying this garbage, but I don't think so.
And why didn't she do any of these things over the last four years?
Anyway, 800-941 Sean knows what numbers.
Brenda, you're a fine girl.
What a great wife you'd be.
But my life, my love, and my lady is the sea.
How many of you heard about General Kelly's remarks, but you didn't hear that over 200 retired U.S. military generals, admirals signed a letter on Monday that former President Donald Trump endorsing him?
Or how many union members, rank and file, are supporting Trump?
How many unions that normally would endorse the Democratic candidate are not endorsing Kamala Harris, including the Teamsters.
You know, they're the party now of coastal elites in Hollywood, New York, and D.C.
And Republicans of the party, working men and women, the people that make the country great.
Sean Hannity talks to the people involved in the top stories of the day.
Every day, Sean Hannity is on.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, on number.
You want to be a part of the program?
The FBI calls it house stealing.
I have been telling you about this now for over a year.
It is a huge problem.
These scammers now targeting American property and homeowners.
And everybody's title is online.
They go online.
They forge your signature.
And they literally put your home, your property in their name.
And then they take out loans in your name where they sell your home from underneath you.
If you own a home, any real estate, it is critical.
It is crucial you protect your property and your equity from these criminals.
There's no better way that I know than hometital.com.
If you haven't checked them out before, now would be the time because we've now arranged with them that you will save 50% off home title lock and their triple lock home title protection.
That's 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts if anything has changed, and more importantly, restoration of your title if there is ever any kind of fraud.
Anyway, you'll get protection immediately and receive 50% off when you use the promo code Hannity.
You just go to home titlelock1word.com, home titlelock.com.
You'll get peace of mind, protection of your home, your equity, hometitlelock.com, and promo code Hannity.
I will say this.
We're just, every day's Election Day now.
If there's voting going on in America, that means it's Election Day.
And Joe Bastardi just emphasized again in the break to me that he is pretty confident based on his modeling, and he's really good at what he does.
Weatherbell.com.
That he thinks that there's a possibility of two more hurricanes that we might have to be facing as a country.
You want to bank your vote.
It also gives Republicans the ability to take their limited resources and target people that haven't voted already.
Laura Trump says, yeah, my mother says, now am I going to stop getting these texts to go vote?
Pretty funny, actually.
You know, everyone wants to hear and Kamala wants to repeat that Trump is Hitler and Trump's a fascist line and General Kelly.
Yeah, 200 former generals, admirals.
They're all on record endorsing Donald Trump this week, but you don't get any coverage of that at all whatsoever.
What happened to all the happy vibes?
We're looking at all of these surrogates that are doing more good, more damage than good for Kamala.
I mean, we saw this with Gretchen Whitmer, co-chair of her campaign, and mocking Holy Communion for Christians and Catholics.
And we saw the whole, you know, Barack Obama about the brothers and basically said there's some sexism involved.
And we saw Bill Clinton down in Georgia.
Leg and Riley probably be alive today if we actually vetted some of these immigrants coming into the country.
Exactly what Kamala never did.
Now we have Stacey Abrams in the mix advocating for Kamala Harris.
There is, quote, there is sexism against Kamala from black men.
That's what she's saying.
There is sexism.
There is racism against Kamala Harris from black men.
Whoa.
I guess that's a way to motivate people to support your side.
Really, really smart on their part.
But all of these surrogates are doing more harm than good for Kamala Harris, and they all are getting the talking points.
You know what's sad?
You saw Donald Trump at McDonald's this weekend.
He was in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
And now, I don't even want to mention the guy's name, but the owner of the McDonald's is now receiving threatening phone calls and social media messages following Donald Trump's visit.
And, you know, that means those employees are now in jeopardy.
And as a precaution to protect his employees, the owner has had to retain private security forces and that he had to hire in the lead up to the event.
And, you know, despite these threats, the vast majority of the community has reportedly been very, very supportive.
And they thought it was a great moment.
It just was.
I think, and Trump, it looked like he enjoyed the hell out of it.
I would just say, if I was in Bucks County, I would go out of my way to patronize that McDonald's and say thank you to those employees and sorry that they have to live through that.
I don't want anybody living through that.
This is where, you know, this rhetoric after not one, but two would-be assassins in an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
I mean, when are they going to stop?
Where is the line for them?
Speaking of, you know, the Democrats being the party of coastal elites, oh, Michael Keaton is berating Trump and Musk supporters saying their heroes think that they're stupid.
Great.
Why don't you just stick to acting?
And he's not a very good actor anyway, in my view.
It's Senate Democrats, by the way, are now targeting McDonald's.
Did you know that I meant to bring this up?
Dave McCormick, who's now leading against Bob Casey.
Bob Casey, who won't even mention he's a Democrat in his ads.
Bob Casey, who is highlighting all of his agreements with Trump, even though he's a 99% Harris and Biden supporter and voter, is basically slamming his opponent, retaliating against McDonald's.
But you have Casey, you have Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden issuing a letter to the CEO of McDonald's castigating the company for reported price gouging a day after Trump worked the fryer at a franchise of the fast food chain.
By the way, there is no price gouging.
The average grocery store profit margin is 1.6.
It is Harris-Biden inflation that has caused the higher costs of everything you buy at every store you go to.
And this is what we're now going to intimidate McDonald's.
Thank God for McDonald's.
I wish I could eat McDonald's.
If I could, I'd eat it three or four days a week.
I can't because I try to take care of my health a little bit.
I don't do everything right, but I wish I could.
Linda, do I love McDonald's?
Yes, sir.
You can tell the truth.
Yeah, you do.
And Wendy's.
I love you.
I love it a lot.
And White Castle.
And cheesesteaks.
I love it all.
And thin crust pizza now.
I have moved to that with extra cheese and onions.
I put onions on everything.
Anyway, there's a full-blown scandal.
The Biden-Harris administration allegedly now covering up an internal study that they had in 2023 that would have rendered its moratorium on natural gas projects unnecessary.
Now, get this, according to the House Oversight Accountability Committee, the White House Department of Energy paused permitting for liquefied natural gas fracking and gas exports in January, a policy that critics said would cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs and allow time for the federal study on these projects, environmental, economic, national security impact.
That study, according to federal officials, wouldn't be completed until early 2025, effectively throwing the brakes on dozens of major energy and fossil fuel projects.
According to a letter, the Republican leaders on the House Oversight Committee that they sent to Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday, there is evidence that the Department of Energy already conducted the study months before announcing the policy.
And the lawmakers added that the agency has sought to stonewall information and request to obtain the study.
I mean, the latest example that they don't care.
You know, it's unbelievable.
By the way, what do you call it when you offer somebody something of great worth and value?
I don't know where I grew up in New York.
Yeah, they have a term for that.
You know, if Kamala Harris now doubling down on her amnesty promise, you think the tens and tens of millions or the 12.5 million that came in under Harris and Biden, they get a passport, probably cost you $10 million in New Zealand or Australia if you could even get it, and then you have to spend years there.
Something of great value, an American passport.
You give it to somebody for free and just say, we don't care.
We'll ignore the fact that you broke our laws, didn't respect our sovereignty, and you came into the country illegally, broke the law.
We give you free housing, healthcare, education, college tuition.
We'll give you free everything.
We'll give you free illegal driver's licenses, sex change surgery.
You won't want a sex change surgery.
What about student loan money forgiveness?
Sounds like they're trying to influence people with incentives.
What do you call that?
Everyone knows the answer.
New studies showing Harris Biden illegals are costing you, the taxpayers, $150 billion every single year.
The federal government alone spent $67 billion on Harris illegals in 2023, more than $6.6 billion earmarked for education, over $25 billion doled out in medical costs.
Federal welfare programs ate up $11.5 billion.
Law enforcement costs, $23.1 billion, according to the 91 page, the fiscal burdens of illegal immigration put out by the group FAIR on the American taxpayers.
Wow.
Denver, city council, they had to cut $45 million from their budget.
New York City, $2.3 billion in costs for housing, Harris Biden illegals alone.
And it's every small town in big cities.
30% of border tower surveillance cameras are now broken and unrepaired under Borders R Kamala Harris.
Can't make that up either.
Donald Trump, by the way, came out in favor of reparations for the victims of crimes committed by Harris Biden illegals.
Harris illegals rushed the border.
There's now a massive caravan coming.
One guy quoted as saying, I love Kamala Harris.
Guy from Venezuela declared as he rested on a side of a highway.
In southern Mexico last week.
Uh-huh.
The caravans that I travel with are escorted by the Mexican National Guard.
Another quote.
Can't make that up either.
But she said, you know, she wants amnesty.
She confirmed that in the Telemundo Town Hall or interview.
And then stumbles on the issue of the border wall when pressed.
I thought it was a vanity project, but said, oh, yeah, part of a comprehensive bill.
It's an amnesty bill.
The day one bill was an amnesty bill.
And I can go on and on and on.
Let me get to some of the poll numbers while I have a chance here.
Trump now leads Harris in the four most recent national surveys, Real Clear Politics Average.
The four, including the Daily Average, now show Kamala losing her lead to Donald Trump.
And at this point, Joe Biden was up by eight.
Hillary was up by like six and a half.
And as of today, Wall Street Journal has Trump up by three points, head to head, 49.46.
CNBC has Trump up two points, 48.46.
Forbes has Trump up with a majority, 51.49.
Rasmussen has Trump up 49.46.
I don't want you to take anything out of that.
If you look at, you know, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Forbes, Raffsmuson, those are real polls.
Polls also show military vets support Donald Trump over Harris dramatically well into the 60s.
Donald Trump has surged ahead of Harris nationally in that poll, in these polls.
I mean, that means, I mean, is it possible he could win the popular vote?
I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
What matters, we have the Electoral College.
Donald Trump leading is a big deal.
If you want to go back and compare where we were this day in 2020, Joe Biden's favorability was plus 17.7.
Kamala's is 2.7.
That is a net gain for Trump of 15.
If you look at the top battlegrounds, Joe Biden was up 4.2.
Now Donald Trump is up a point.
It's a 5.1% swing.
If you look at 2020, it was national average.
Joe Biden was up 7.9.
Today, Kamala is up 0.2.
I mean, it's a dramatic turnaround.
And then you can look at some of the other polls.
North Carolina, Donald Trump up in the Bloomberg poll.
Georgia, Donald Trump up there also.
Direction of the country, 64% wrong track.
I've seen numbers as high as 79% saying that.
Congressional vote, now Republicans are leading.
They had been down in that.
Job approval.
I mean, the disapproval rate of Biden is just overwhelming, and he's not doing well.
If you look head to head, Emerson in North Carolina, Trump by two.
You have Marist, Trump by two, North Carolina.
Numerous polls show Donald Trump with a comfortable lead in Arizona.
You know, you have now Dave McCormick has three or four polls that show that he's winning.
Moreno is now beginning to win in Ohio.
I hope if you vote for Donald Trump, you will vote for a Republican House and Senate.
It will make life easier to get the MAGA agenda to get this country back on track that way.
I'd like to see that happen for sure.
Pennsylvania, 50-49, Trump, Franklin and Marshall.
One-point race with Emerson as well, 49.48.
And Emerson has Wisconsin Trump up by 1, 49.48.
It's very close.
North Carolina up by two.
I mean, but there, so I would, I would say that my admonition, my warning is that you, if you live in Georgia, if you live in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, just assume your vote is going to determine the outcome of this election.
And if you stay home, it's a bad idea because we will, in the end, get the government we deserve.
If you want the radical Green New Deal, the elimination of the filibuster, if you want the Supreme Court stacked, if you want statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico, if you want the elimination of private health insurance, those are her stated positions.
If you want to defund, dismantle, reimagine ICE and the police, if you want somebody that wants to ban fracking and has said so repeatedly and eliminate offshore drilling, we could be the richest country on earth.
We have more natural resources, hundreds and hundreds of years worth.
If you want free housing, food, healthcare, education, and sex change operations for illegals and amnesty for illegal immigrants, you know, then don't vote or vote for Kamala because that's what you're going to get.
Defund, dismantle, no bail laws.
If you want a mandatory gun buyback, go vote for Kamala.
