Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
And thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, it is Election Day in many parts of the country.
And if there's voting anywhere in the country, that means it's Election Day.
We are five days away from the polls closing in every state and Commonwealth in the country.
And then the vote counting will begin.
We have what it looks like it's going to turn out to be that there will be on Election Day, and these are my numbers based on past voting percentages, numbers, et cetera, that we're going to have on Election Day itself anywhere between 90 and 100 million votes that will be cast in this country.
That is a lot of votes.
Right now, we're about 60.
You go back, we were close to what, 160 million.
So I would say probably 90 million votes will be cast on Election Day based on my math.
And, you know, I look at all the polls.
I look at the aggregate.
I look at the real clear politics average.
I look at where we were in 16 and I look at where we were in 20.
And I've given you these numbers anecdotally.
We've gone over it.
We've talked to the pollsters.
We talked about what the difference is.
But here's the bottom line of what I can tell you is that even though Donald Trump has caught up to Kamala Harris and the Real Clear Politics average nationally, we don't decide presidents by it's not a popularity contest.
We have an electoral voting system and it's based on states.
And if you look at Donald Trump's lead in the battleground swing states, again, an aggregate average polling average, real clear politics, he's up by about 0.9% in the battleground states.
That is Georgia.
That is North Carolina.
That is Pennsylvania.
That is Wisconsin, Michigan.
That is Arizona, Nevada.
Although the president's in New Mexico today, probably for a good reason.
I don't think it's an accident that Bill Clinton decided to go campaign in New Hampshire.
We had this poll earlier this week that New Hampshire might be in play.
There could be some sleepers.
I've always thought New Jersey could surprise everybody if we paid a little more attention to New Jersey.
I don't know.
That's probably way wishful thinking on my part.
Like New York, New York lost 1% of its population, including me last year.
And best decision I made.
And I'm glad I did.
And they basically, I had two governors in a row saying that if you're a conservative and pro-Daith and pro-second amendment, you're not a New Yorker.
There's no place for New York.
And then Kathy Hokel, get the hell out of town.
Get on a bus.
Go down to Florida.
Get out of town.
Lee Zeldon, you Trump support.
Get out of town.
And now New York's, like, going bankrupt.
Me and the Democrats, their problem is themselves.
Who are they?
Are they these extreme conservatives who are right to life, a poor salt weapon, anti-gay?
Is that who they are?
Because if that's who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York.
Because that's not who New Yorkers are.
And we're here to say that the era of Trump and Zeldon and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong.
Okay?
Get out of town.
Get out of town.
Because you don't represent our values.
You are not New Yorkers.
Wow.
Also, okay, I got out of town.
You know, it's funny because I talk to everybody that leaves New York and they all have to hire lawyers and accountants because New York tax agents chase them in perpetuity and try and find one little error they might have made.
You have to hire accountants and lawyers that do this for a living.
And there's a checklist a mile long to ensure that your residency, your domicile, your work is all done legally out of whatever new state you move to.
And we're fully prepared for New Yorkers to come after little old Sean Hannity.
It's not exactly like I left quietly.
Anyway, I digress today.
You know, the state of the campaign is that I'm just urging all of you to assume that your one vote, your vote, will decide the outcome of the election.
And we've now gone through two presidential election cycles with razor-thin margins.
That is just a fact.
That is a reality.
And in one sense, I don't even, I don't want, and I've been saying to you, I don't want you to be impacted emotionally, intellectually, in any way by any of these polls or any of these news stories.
Or the only poll that is going to matter is the final result in these swing states and the winner of the race.
That's what's going to matter.
That's the poll that counts.
And this is an inflection point for this country.
And if I can convey one thing to everybody that listens to this show, by the way, thank you for listening.
And for those of you that voted early, and there are a lot more that voted early as a percentage basis versus Democrats, Democrats, their turnout has been, you know, dramatically lower than what it was in 2020.
But I wouldn't read that much into that because they can still vote on election day.
And Republican early voting has been very high.
And I want to thank all of you for doing your part.
That is your part.
If you want to help this country to get back to where we should be and not settle for a townhouse instead of a house that you want and have been dreaming of your whole life with a backyard where you could have a dog and a cat or whatever you like.
If you like Linda, a very, very well-fed cat who was so well-fed and had to get sent to a farm to lose weight.
And the cat's doing great.
Shouldn't you be focused on polls and winning America and making it great again as opposed to attacking my poor feline?
My poor feline.
My poor feline who had just had more to love.
Oh, my gosh.
You just fed it too much.
You didn't love it enough.
If you loved it, you would have put it on a healthier diet.
Or I would have starved it.
That's what I had to do because it was.
You made me feel guilty.
Oh, you're blaming me for this.
Great.
Things are not working out well with the surrogates.
I can't believe it, actually.
And it's not working out.
Kamala Harris herself referring to Donald Trump as a fascist, refusing to condemn her vice presidential candidate for comparing Trump and his rally to a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
Won't condemn that.
You know, it took two shots at getting her to say, I disagree with Joe on the garbage man comment.
And then you had this iconic moment yesterday.
And I think if Donald Trump wins this election, we will look back at being called garbage by a sitting president.
Trump supporters are garbage.
And that was the president of the United States.
And then the slow response.
But their closing argument remains the same, that if you like Donald Trump, you're a fascist.
You're a Nazi.
You're a racist, and you're garbage.
That's their closing argument.
And things have not worked out well.
You've got Bill Clinton.
First, he made the comment of, well, Leagan Riley would probably be alive today if, in fact, We start vetting these illegal immigrants and letting them in the country.
Then he has a new one out today where he says the economy was much better under Donald Trump, but used to still vote for Kamala Harris.
Listen, you had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
They made an ad about it, about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant.
Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
But if they all properly vetted and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work, there wouldn't be a problem.
And he couldn't keep people all torn up and upset.
You did pretty well when I was president, and I think I'm entitled to my opinion about who'd be better.
Two, I don't think it's right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better there.
I don't believe that.
Okay.
It was better.
Then you had Barack Obama lecturing, quote, the brothers, and suggesting that there's misogyny behind their lack of support for Kamala.
Listen.
See the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was wrong.
Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.
But I'm speaking to men directly now.
Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.
And you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.
So now you're thinking about sitting out or even supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you because you think that's a sign of strength because that's what being a bandits, putting women down?
That's not accepting.
It was nice of him to leave his Mathis Vineyard mansion to come on out and lecture African-American men and excoriate them as being misogynist.
Stacey Abrams even referring to African-American men as being racist and sexist if they're not voting for Kamala.
I would say, number one, I know it's a shock to everyone, but sexism remains real and a very pertinent issue.
But I want us to be really clear that Kamala Harris is doing very well with black men.
I'm not quite certain why there is this panic about black men voting.
They vote.
In fact, they vote more than their counterparts in any other community for Democrats.
However, we do have to acknowledge that there is sexism.
There is racism.
There are challenges in our electorate.
And that's why it's so important that Kamala Harris is going everywhere and talking to everyone.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable and pretty insulting, isn't it?
Well, now we have Gretchen Whitmer, of course, mocking Catholics with the Doritos video of hers.
None of these people are doing particularly well.
Michelle Obama, they go low.
We go high.
She's not particularly doing well.
Now we've got Mark Cuban jumping in.
And listen to what Mark Cuban said about women that support Donald Trump.
Yeah, I mean, yes, it'll put her over the edge with Nicky Hilly's supporters.
Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever.
It's just that simple.
They're intimidating to him.
Doesn't like to be challenged by them.
And, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women.
I mean, he just can't have her around.
It wouldn't work.
No, she was out campaigning for him with Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania.
Mark Cuban, I don't know, I just get the sense that he's trying to be Elon Musk on the left.
Susie Wiles, who is running the Trump campaign.
I'm told Mark Cuban needs help identifying the strong and intelligent women surrounding President Trump.
His campaign manager is a woman.
Her name is Susie Wiles.
And I've been proud to lead this campaign, complimented by Linda McMahon, the chair for the transition policy and Laura Trump, RNC chair.
What is happening all over X is people, women, are taking saying, I am a strong, intelligent woman, and I am voting for Donald Trump.
And Mark Cuban, money doesn't buy you class, does it?
If you're a smart, strong woman, too.
And by the way, does anybody doubt that Melania Trump is a strong, smart woman, or Ivanka Trump is a strong, smart woman, or Tiffany Trump, who I know is a strong and smart woman?
Because they all are, every one of them.
And now it's becoming a phenomenon all over X and all over social media.
You have strong, intelligent women saying that they are voting for Trump.
And Nikki Haley was campaigning for Trump.
I mean, it just is, it's like everybody that is speaking on her behalf is like hurting her every time.
Because, you know, if your closing argument is fascist, racist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, fascist, Nazi, Nazi, it's not a good closing argument.
We'll find out in five days.
All right, let it play for a second here.
So the words of this song, Brandy, actually written about a woman named Randy, are Brandy, you're a fine girl.
What a good wife you'd be, but my life, my love, and my lady is the sea.
Linda, how do you interpret that song?
That if Donald Trump doesn't win on Tuesday, I'm going to drink a lot of brandy and head out to sea.
That's how that song resonates with me right now.
So if Donald Trump doesn't win, we're going to take a lot of brandy and we're going to head out to see Blackberry brandy just getting weird alone.
No, Linda first goes, no, Brandy isn't a woman.
It's the sea.
It's going to be a woman.
It's going to be me on a raft with a bottle of brandy.
So there you go.
Still works.
All right.
I'll send out, I'll send out other things to help you.
All right.
Mark Cuban.
We'll get to him next.
Oh, wait a minute.
I have time left.
This clock is way off.
That was actually kind of fun.
I was waiting to see how long.
I was like, let's see if she can.
My clock says 29.23.
Exactly.
Your clock or your sundial.
I mean, come on, man.
I don't have a sundial.
And I'm just telling you, now it's 29.33.
And I'm like, looking at it, I never missed a post.
Anybody that's actually, which means you just keep moving.
You have no idea what Donald Trump time is.
Donald Trump time is every moment, every second of every day.
Got a nice view of the dog track to you over there.
No, but we've gone from a basket of irredeemable deplorables to Nazis and racists and sexists and fascists.
And now apparently we are garbage.
That's who the American people are.
Nice.
Anyway.
Hey, the vest makes you look thin.
I'm all in.
Yeah, we'll get to that later in the program.
That's what President Trump said at the rally last night.
Check in as soon as you get to your car after work for breaking information you need to know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I'm 25 now to the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
It will be the end of the election next Tuesday.
We're five days away.
I expect 90 to 100 million people will vote on election day.
Voting day of, for those of you that didn't vote early, is going to be critical.
And most states, if you are in line before the polls close, you get to vote.
Don't leave the line.
Go to the bathroom before you go there.
Anyway, this is a consequential election, but no matter what happens, we still have a friend and ally in trouble, and that is Israel.
That will remain.
They're fighting a forefront war.
We'll report out today that the Iranians are thinking of now attacking Israel yet again directly.
I think if they do it this time, Israel is going to wipe them out.
They've already wiped out their air defense systems completely, according to reports from Jennifer Griffin and others.
But they're not going to have any choice this time because they're fighting a forefront war, Hezbollah in the north, Hamas in the South, the Houthi rebels, and now Iran directly.
But as a result of being in war over a year now, there's so many displaced Israelis, and they need fundamentals.
They need shelter.
They need food.
They need water.
They need medicines.
They need your help.
And that's why we have proudly partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They have been building bridges between Christians and Jews for over 40 years, and they have been on the ground since October the 7th, 2023, from day one.
And they're helping the most vulnerable, those that are displaced, those that are in need of bare necessities.
The only way they can do it is with your generosity and whatever gift you can give, the fellowship will use that money immediately to provide food, shelter, necessities, security to people in need.
So we hope you'll stand with us and with the people of Israel in their time of need.
Go to supportifcj.org.
You can make a gift that way, or you can make it with a phone call, 888-488-IFCJ.
That's 888-488-IFCJ today.
Great organization.
Now, let's deal with political ignoramus, Mark Cuban.
Now, he did sell the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson, who I happen to know is a lovely, lovely woman.
I knew her husband, Sheldon Adelson, and who is a big Republican.
So he had no problem taking Republican money.
But, you know, he's out there.
Let's play his comments again, which is, you know, they're pretty sickening.
You know, no strong, intelligent women support Donald Trump.
Well, the person that is running his campaign happens to be the head of the campaign, a woman.
Her name is Susie Wiles.
And the head of, by the way, the chairman for his transition team is a woman by the name of Linda McMahon, another strong and intelligent woman.
Co-chair of the RNC would be Laura Trump, an intelligent woman.
He's married to Melania Trump.
Is anyone going to doubt that somebody that left home at a young age and traveled the world in the tough business of modeling, you know, learning five, six languages, whatever the number is, is not a strong, tough, intelligent woman or Ivanka Trump, the same thing, successful in her own right in every way.
I love that the women of America that are supporting Donald Trump are taking to social media.
I am a strong, intelligent woman, and I am voting for Donald Trump.
Here's what Cuban said.
Yeah, I mean, yes, it'll put her over the edge with Nikki Haley supporters.
Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever.
It's just that simple.
They're intimidating to him.
He doesn't like to be challenged by them.
And, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women.
I mean, he just can't have her around.
It wouldn't work.
No, she was campaigning for him yesterday in Pennsylvania.
Nice try.
It really is unbelievable how ignorant these statements are, but this is where we are.
You know, Bill Clinton is not being an effective.
Yeah, the economy is definitely better under Trump, but I'd still ask you to vote for Kamala Harris.
You know, Lake and Riley would be alive today if we'd only vet these illegal immigrants.
I'm like, oh, that's that's a big help.
Gretchen Whitmer mocking Christians and Catholics, not exactly helpful.
Joe Biden referring to Trump supporters as garbage.
Obviously not helpful.
Barack Obama leaving his multi-million dollar mansion in Matha's Vineyard, you know, to go out on the campaign trail, pretty angry, you know, lashing out at Donald Trump, fashion, you know, the whole Donald Trump is racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, wants dirty air and water, you know, fascist, Nazi, racist smears.
I mean, it just never stops.
Stacey Abrams doing the same thing.
Obama himself lecturing African-American men, quote, the brothers that they're misogynistic, not supporting Kamala Harris.
Stacey Abrams suggesting it's racist and sexism among African-American men.
And now you got this political ignoramus.
Maybe he's trying to do his best imitation of the very effective Elon Musk.
I don't know.
Maybe he's jealous of this.
You know, of course, he's on that hard-hitting news show, The View.
I got a call from my team.
I think it was last week.
Mark Cuban desperately wants to be on your show.
I'm like, yeah, I bet he does.
I'll put him on, but I just don't have time between now and election day.
I'm sure he only wants to be on for election.
Melania Trump, is there anybody?
An incredibly strong, intelligent woman, all the languages she speaks, and has had to weather all the crap from the news media, the state-run media, everything they've thrown at her and her husband and her family, for edification.
Cuban and his view fan club.
Let's start with Kellyanne Conway.
Christy Noam is going to join us later on the program.
Kellyanne Conway, a strong, successful woman.
Yeah, she is.
In every way imaginable, intelligent, every way imaginable.
Same with Governor Noam.
Same thing.
If Kellyanne were a Democrat, they'd put her face on Mount Rushmore.
Yeah, she ran the Trump campaign in 2016.
First woman ever to do so.
Here he's running again, and he has another woman running his entire campaign operation.
I mean, he's just ignorant in his comments.
It's Nikki Haley.
Yeah, they had their differences.
But Nikki is not on reproductive rights because Donald Trump is not going to ever sign a federal ban on abortion.
What Kamala Harris said the other night was a flat-out lie.
He's not going to limit access to birth control.
He supports IVF.
He's not against IVF.
What about Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Can we look at her?
Served as White House press secretary, now governor of Arkansas.
What about Kaylee McEnany?
You know, Huckabee Sanders' successor.
I mean, I'd love when she would turn the tables on, you know, crazy Jim Acosta over a fake news CNN.
You know, what about Monica Crowley?
What about KT McFarland?
You know, the list goes on and on and on.
I can go here all day.
What about our own Linda?
She's a big Trump supporter.
You know, I'm sure you're offended by those remarks, and you get offended by nothing.
It takes a lot to offend me, but I support Donald Trump.
I support Ted Cruz.
I support Dave McCormick.
I support people that are going to protect my kids and my family.
It ain't Cuban, I'll tell you that.
Speaking of Senator Ted Cruz, he joins us now.
He said what may end up being close to $200 million in negative ads.
And thankfully, the people of Texas, God bless Texas, are supporting him.
It's a closer race than any of us would like.
But thankfully, the people of Texas, I am confident, are going to re-elect Ted Cruz.
And we have a chance to elect people like Bernie Moreno.
Harry Lake will be on the program later in the program.
Mike Rogers, we have a great candidate who's been on from Nevada.
He's going to join us in the days ahead.
We have Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania.
And you've got Eric Hovdi is running in Wisconsin.
All these are potentially winnable races.
We expect Republicans to pick up seats in West Virginia and in Montana.
And Senator Cruz is a critical, strong voice for conservatism, which is why I think that, you know, they keep every time he runs, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to take him down.
Senator, how are you?
Sean, great to be with you.
Thanks for having me on.
You are right.
We are in the middle of an epic battle in Texas.
My race in Texas is right now the single most expensive Senate race in the entire country.
And Chuck Schumer has been explicit.
I'm his number one target.
And Chuck Schumer and George Soros, they are spending over $100 million.
They are carpet bombing us with TV ads.
You turn on the TV in Texas right now.
Every other ad is an attack ad.
And they are just hammering us relentlessly.
And I'll tell you, the polls in the state in the last month, we have had a dozen different polls show this race as a one-point race or a two-point race or a three-point race.
We had one poll come out a couple of days ago that showed the race tied.
And they are looking at it.
And the radical left believes if they dump enough money into Texas, that they can flip Texas and with that, keep control of the Senate and do irreparable damage to this country.
So I'm so grateful to your listeners who have over and over again gone to Tedcruz.org and given generously.
I'll tell you, we need the support.
I would ask your listeners once again, we have just five days to go.
The fight is right now.
Right now, we are getting pounded.
And if you go to Tedcruz.org right now and give 25 or 50 bucks or 100 bucks or maybe even more, every penny you give, if you give the money today at tedcruze.org, it will be up on TV by tomorrow.
We are literally every day wiring out the money we receive to fight back against $100 million of relentless attack ads.
Well, we really support you.
We need you.
We appreciate you.
Senator Cruz, you've been a good friend to this program, and you've been a strong fighter to protect our country and protect our Constitution, our liberties, and our freedoms.
And I hope the good people of Texas understand what you are doing for all of us and get out there and vote for you and just assume that your vote will be the deciding vote for Ted Cruz in Texas.
Thank you, my friend.
800-941-Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
We've got so much to get to today.
Leading Democrat at work for Bill Clinton and Al Gore is now endorsed.
This is pretty interesting.
Donald Trump.
I mean, Naomi Wolf, she posted her endorsement on X.
And anyway, and she's been a long time, you know, darling of the left, insider, advised Al Gore, Bill Clinton.
And after Trump was inaugurated in January of 2017, she donned a P-word hat, joined the anti-Trump women's march in the Washington Mall.
She said, Never in a million years did I think I'd vote for Donald Trump, but the folks for whom I voted censored me illegally via big tech, killed thousands of people via FDA lies, and put the guy who tried to help me save American lives in prison.
Wow.
And she's supporting Donald Trump.
While campaigning in Pennsylvania for Dave McCormick, yep, Nikki Haley was out there backing Donald Trump, which I think is a great development.
Bulk of truckers now say they back Donald Trump.
They're wary of Kamala Harris, just like the same thing with veterans.
Detroit auto workers on Kamala Harris is struggling with blue-collar workers.
She hasn't done a thing for us.
What a quote that is.
And that pretty much sums it up for the rest of the country.
But she's going to fix these things on day one.
Day one was January 20th, 2021.
Harris pledges to sign a bill to restore reproductive freedom.
Well, they have reproductive freedom.
I mean, these people make things out.
She just flat-out lied in this speech the other night.
I was like, I'm sitting there.
I'm like stunned at the level of lying.
It's unbelievable.
Bill Clinton in Michigan.
The economy was better under Donald Trump.
I hope you're still going to vote for my friend Kamala.
But I know the economy was a little better back then, but I don't know what to say.
You can't even make this up.
Let me tell you something.
This calling people garbage has not gone over well at all by anybody.
But she could go on the same, you know, what is it called?
Call Me Daddy podcast.
She could make another big run at Howard Stern, I'm sure.
Frank Luntz even said on CNN that this garbage insult may be a turning point, you think?
And, you know, there's just such a different vibe between the different candidates.
It really is pretty amazing.
You know, and the fact that Donald Trump is at McDonald's, he's doing Joe Rogan's podcast for three hours.
He's at the Al Smith dinner.
He drives in a garbage truck yesterday.
It's just, it's such a contrast to what seems like this angry, vicious, vile, never-ending, you know, attack, attack, attack.
By the way, 98% of comedy shows the campaign jokes target Donald Trump.
If you look at CBS, ABC, NBC, Kamala gets, what, nearly 80% positive coverage.
Trump gets 85% negative coverage.
You think that's an in-kind donation by the state-run media mob?
Pretty unbelievable.
According to the New York Post, the local ABC station ignited a flurry of anger and fury in what appeared to be official election results for Pennsylvania, showing Kamala Harris easily winning the key swing state.
Anyway, a local ABC affiliate, which serves the northern part of the Commonwealth, it showed Vice President Harris with 52% of the vote compared to 47% for Republican challenger Donald Trump.
The TV station said the results came up on the screen.
It was an error that had been randomly generated as part of a test ahead of the election.
Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error.
The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results randomly in her favor.
You imagine if it was a Trump and they were randomly in his favor, what the impact would be.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We've got so much to get to today.
The bottom line I can tell you is I hope you have a sense of urgency and understanding that a lot of these states, these battleground swing states, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, I'll even add New Mexico and New Hampshire.
All of these states are one point or less, with the exception, I think, of Georgia at this point.
They're very, very close.
Assume your vote will be the deciding vote.
