Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
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's 800-941-Sean, if you'd like to join us.
And it is Election Day in America.
It is here.
I told you it would come fast when we started the year out.
I told you exactly what would happen during this campaign.
I didn't know it would get to Nazi fascist, racist, and garbage, but I can't predict everything out.
But here we are.
And I want you to be very careful in terms of this today.
So I've been doing this radio program now.
I guess I started on radio in 1987.
I mean, I'm not a newcomer to radio.
That's when I, you know, first started a one-hour week show.
And anyway, I'm very grateful.
I never thought I'd be here with all of you all across the country.
And I'm blessed beyond measure.
I said this yesterday, and I mean it.
I'm very grateful to all of you.
Very grateful to all of you that voted early.
Very grateful for those of you that are taking the time out of your busy day today to take advantage of the liberty and the freedom to vote.
But I do have a couple of stories as something that I want you to be aware of.
And every single solitary news organization at about 5:15 this afternoon Eastern time, that'd be 2.15 on the West Coast, they're going to get what's called exit polls, exit polling data.
I want you to be careful with the exit polling data.
I'm going to give you two examples.
In 2004, the exit polling data came back that George W. Bush was not going to win a second term.
And at about 5.35 Eastern time, 2.35 West Coast time, this show got a phone call from then Vice President Dick Cheney.
And those exit polls showed that they were losing badly the states of Ohio and the state of Florida, my free state of Florida.
And it was not my home then, but it is my home now.
And so anyway, and he called in, and they have still plenty of time to vote.
And he was basically saying, we need you to go vote.
And he pushed it out, pushed out.
Turns out the exit polls were dead on wrong, that they won by comfortable margins.
We didn't have a repeat of 2,000 with swinging, hanging, dimpled, pimpled Chads, et cetera, et cetera.
And so that's one example.
I'm not going to share with you the exit data, but I will tell you what's going to happen.
You're going to be watching television and you're going to be hearing people say, well, I have a pretty good feeling that voters are saying that this was the number one issue or that.
Odds are they're going to be taking it directly from the exit polling information that they get.
So just keep all of that in the back of your mind.
The second case in point was 2016, and I'll never forget it.
And I have nothing against Frank Luntz.
I mean, he used to do the show regularly, and he does his focus groups, but the exit data in 2016 was equally bad.
And he was reporting for Fox, and he was in Times Square.
And I heard him say that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States because that's what the exit polling data showed.
So I tell you this, and this is very much consistent with what I have been saying to all of you about today and about early voting.
And that is to put aside all of the analysis, the prognosticators, the polls, the exit polls, whatever you're hearing.
Just ignore it all and just assume that your one vote is going to be the deciding vote in the election, considering this is an inflection point for the country.
I cannot emphasize that enough.
And I want to say this in a different way, but it doesn't come out a different way because it's the same thing.
And it is the biggest choice election I have ever seen.
And I've talked in the past about tipping point elections, tipping point elections.
And I wasn't lying when I said those things, but I've never really felt that way like I do now, as much as I did in 2020.
I'd not written a book in 10 years.
And just before the 2020 election, I wrote Live Free or Die, America and the World on the Brink.
I didn't like it.
I didn't write it because I like to write books.
I don't like to write books.
It's too much work.
It is too hard.
And I like this form of communication where I say it.
It's done.
I don't have to sand it.
I don't have to polish it.
I don't have to prime it.
I don't have to paint it.
It's done.
It's gone.
It's for good or for better or for worse sometimes.
That's why we have to always monitor what Linda says with, you know, a heavy, a heavy hand and finger on the dump button.
So what I'm saying is, is that if you see this as the biggest choice election and you're not happy with the direction of this country, and I am not, as somebody that lived paycheck to paycheck, there's a very viral video.
Laura Ingram had this woman on last night.
Wow.
This poor woman, her husband makes like $80,000, $100,000 a year.
If I'm not mistaken, I think they have eight kids.
And she is struggling to put food on her table.
She can't afford to register her car, you know.
And she came off as sincere to me.
You always have to question what you see on social media.
She came off as very sincere to me.
And I'm thinking, this is what 60%, 66% of Americans have been saying about the economy.
They've been saying that they're living paycheck to paycheck and that the words that were used in this particular article that I often cite is that they're gulping water.
And there are many, many Americans, 25% in the last year that have said that they have gone without meals because they cannot afford them.
I have been there at a point in my life in my early adulthood, struggling to pay rent, struggling to make ends meet, not ever, I couldn't even afford McDonald's.
It may sound silly.
You know, I was making the biggest meatloaf you've ever seen.
I'd make that.
That was my weekly meal, meatloaf.
And my sister would make lentil burgers, which were disgusting.
I couldn't stand them.
But at that point in my life, by the way, I never felt poor.
I was never unhappy.
I could actually make an argument that I had less stress and was a little happier back then.
You know, the worst thing that could happen is I got to have an unhappy customer when I was a contractor.
And then whatever it was that they're unhappy about, I could easily fix most of the time.
Never had a big disaster.
But if you, this is about getting this economy back in place.
We know from Kamala and we know from her own words, she wants the Green New Deal and she would eliminate the filibuster to get it.
$93 trillion.
That would be the elimination of capitalism, the greatest wealth-creating system ever designed by man.
It's not a perfect system, but it's a system that incentivizes people to work.
If you give everybody everything, we're going to give you guaranteed health care, guaranteed child care, guaranteed daycare, early pre-K.
We're going to pay for your college.
We're going to have student loan forgiveness.
We're going to have womb to the tomb, cradle to grave.
Who's going to want to work?
Everything is, they take away all incentive.
I believe human beings were born not only with their own unique fingerprint, but with their own talent that was given to them by a creator that were endowed by a creator, and that you really need a purpose in life, whatever that purpose is.
You need, I tell my kids all the time, I don't care really what they decide to do, what work they want to be in.
But, you know, the way I would describe it to more when they were younger than where they are now, I'd say, you know, I want you to think about when we go to a restaurant, how many people end up really serving you in a restaurant?
You meet a maitre D, you meet a hostess, whatever it happens to be.
They walk you to the table.
They make sure you're welcome.
They seat you.
They hand you menus.
Then somebody comes and would you like still water?
Would you like seltzer water, whatever it is?
Would you like ice with that or not?
Somebody, a busboy or somebody will do that.
A waiter will come over and get a drink order and take it to the bartender and the bartender will make you your drinks and then bring it back to the table.
The waiter will bring it back.
Then you will order appetizers and then you'll order maybe a main course.
And then you will have people called chefs in the back of the kitchen and they will prepare your meals for you.
And then when you're all done, then somebody's going to wash your dishes, wash your utensils, and then somebody's going to come in behind you and clean up the mess that you leave as you enjoy your meal.
And how much can you charge for a hamburger?
I mean, that's why there's such a small margin business.
And what's the lesson behind that?
Is I think we all have a purpose and we all have to serve each other.
And whatever you do in life, you are serving somebody else.
You're providing a service.
We are in the news, information more than ever, service industry, entertainment business.
We try to do it in an entertaining way.
We let Linda talk.
That's partly entertainment.
Linda talks on the EA.
Is this you practicing for Kamala, Lena?
Yeah, I'm kind of.
And so, but we live in this country and a cradle-to-grave utopia won't work.
What is my point?
My point is: if you don't like the economy the way it is, then you have a chance today to fix it.
You have a chance.
And I'm asking you to assume that your vote will determine the final outcome here.
I have anecdotal information I could pass on to you all day about what is going on today.
I don't care.
There's no reason for me to pass that on to you if my message is going to be clear and unambiguous, which is assume your vote is the deciding vote.
It might be inconvenient if you're listening to me now to find time today to go vote, especially if you're in Georgia and if you are in a state like North Carolina and you've had to deal with the ravages of Hurricane Helene.
If you're in Pennsylvania, a very important swing state, all of these states are important.
Wisconsin, we need your votes.
We need Michigan.
We need your votes.
We need the people in Arizona.
We need the people in Nevada, especially.
I mean, this thing could come down to a single vote.
Three states, 44,000 votes separated Donald Trump and Joe Biden last time around.
So I'm just assuming with two elections in a row that were that close to assume it.
But this is about whether or not you want open borders with unvetted Harris Biden and it will be Harris Walls illegals that will then be voting in four years, that will, of course, get amnesty after they get sex change operations if they choose, courtesy of your tax dollars, because they'll decriminalize illegal immigration.
And in the meantime, you're going to pay for food, housing, healthcare, education, and everything in between.
It's about open borders, closed borders.
It's about law and order versus defund, dismantle, no bail law, reimagine the police insanity.
It's about paying, let's see, $1.50 less a gallon on average for gasoline.
Also, diesel will come down dramatically if Donald Trump becomes president.
How does that impact you?
That means every truck driver now, the price of every item they bring to every store costs less to ship it, which means that that savings will come to you.
Inflation will get back into a better position.
Interest rates will come down.
These are the things that matter.
And if you're not, if you're, if you think this world is safer and more secure with Kamala Harris as the president of this country and the commander-in-chief, I have no argument for you because you don't know what you're thinking or talking about.
Our foreign policy of enriching the Iranian mullahs by not enforcing the sanctions that Donald Trump put in place is madness to me.
And it has allowed the Iranian mullahs, the number one state sponsor of terror to get rich.
And what have they done with that money?
But they have fomented terror all throughout the Middle East.
And all that Harris and Biden have been saying is to Israel, don't win the war.
They never said win the war against radical Islamic terrorism.
Oh, that's another thing.
Kamala doesn't want you to say that word or the word illegal alien.
And Kamala Harris, yeah, she believes in the mandatory gun buyback.
And if you have a problem on some of the moral issues of, you know, you might want to look at no absolutely no restrictions on late-term abortion, seven months, seven, eight, and nine.
And are you okay with Minnesota, California, and then the rest of the country offering minors gender-affirming care without parental consent?
It's all on the ballot.
So I can give you the anecdotal.
I have a pretty good idea how I think this is going to turn out, but I don't know.
I don't know.
And the only way that you can know is to just do your part.
If you have voted already, I thank you.
If you haven't, I'm asking you to take this great blessing of liberty and freedom, our Constitution, and vote.
800-941, Sean.
I'm not even.
Oh, by the way, that is a good point.
If you are at your voting place before the polls close, you have a right to vote.
If it takes a couple hours, it takes a couple hours.
My advice: go to the bathroom ahead of time, bring a radio with you.
Just advising.
All right, 25 down to the top of the hour.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, only, oh, that's right.
Today's election day.
We've been counting down a long time, and it's here.
I have so much anecdotal information, just some fun things to throw out at you.
And we're going to have a lot of guests.
They're going to be very quick hits just to update you on Pennsylvania, some other areas, what states are most important, obviously.
New York Times actually had a piece out.
Why Trump has a more plausible path to the presidency in 19 maps?
Another New York Times columnist, why I still think Trump will win.
I mean, this is the New York Times.
It is pretty amazing.
I know a lot of people think that these celebrities matter.
I don't think Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Katie Perry, and Oprah Winfrey matter that much to the people in Pennsylvania.
I think what matters is their jobs.
I think what matters is, you know, to people in Michigan are their high-paying career jobs.
I think fracking matters in Pennsylvania.
The energy sector in general matters in Pennsylvania.
I don't think most conservatives from Republicans like being called Nazis and fascists and garbage and racist and every other name in between either.
You know, let me reassure Oprah Winfrey, though.
I want to take a little time out of this program and tell her she said, if you're watching or you're hearing me right now and you haven't already, you have to get to vote.
We don't get to sit this one out.
If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.
Oprah, I promise you that you will be casting, God willing, ballots again, meaning your health and you want to vote again, and you will have the freedom to do so, as will every other American.
The fear-mongering has never been this insane, and the lying has never been this bad.
Lying to seniors, scaring seniors.
Donald Trump's going to take your Social Security and your Medicare.
No, he's not.
He has said the opposite, and actually benefits went up under Donald Trump in his first term, just outright lying.
You know, to get women to vote in higher numbers, Donald Trump is going to pass a national abortion ban.
No, he's not.
He has stated that repeatedly.
Donald Trump is going to limit your ability to get contraception.
No, he's not.
And he has said so.
He's going to stop IVF treatments.
No, he's not.
One of my best friends in the whole wide world, he and his wife are going through IVF.
And I couldn't be happier for them.
The advancement of science, God gives, you know, doctors talent, science talent, people that would struggle otherwise to have children, you know, they can have children now.
But this is where the left has gone.
It was pretty funny to also learn that Trump basher Mark Cuban actually owns a condo in Trump Tower.
Throughout his political clashes with the former president, Cuban has quietly owned a luxurious condo in Trump International Hotel and Tower on Central Park West for nearly 25 years.
Records obtained by the New York Post.
Well, maybe he'll sell that, like the Dallas Mavericks, to Miriam Adelson.
Look, one thing I've been saying too, and I'm going to repeat and it's worth repeating, and we'll check in with a couple of these Senate candidates.
They're in tight races, is that if you're going to vote for Donald Trump, you really have to give him as much help as you can.
And there are so many Senate races that matter.
You have Sam Brown out in Nevada.
He can win that race.
It is dead even.
You have Mike Rogers in Michigan.
You have Eric Hobde in Wisconsin.
You have Dave McCormick.
He is running in Pennsylvania.
You have Bernie Moreno is running in Ohio.
And you have Carrie Lake in Arizona, who has now closed the gap.
And she joins us now.
Congratulations.
It was a while there that I was beginning to worry about your race.
I'm not as worried now.
It seems like Arizona, at least polling numbers, seem very solidly red.
But you're on the front lines of this 12.5 million unvetted illegal immigrant problem in the country.
I got to imagine that's a big issue for every Arizonan.
Yeah, a massive issue.
And thank you for having me on, Sean.
We're out today at the voting locations, and the turnout is absolutely massive in Arizona.
We did a different strategy this year.
By the way, I never really bought those polls.
I thought there were a lot of suppression polls out there.
The only poll that matters is right now what's happening on the ground and what's happening on the ground is incredible in Arizona, but we still need people to get out and vote.
We had a huge turnout when it came to early voting for Republicans.
went into election day with more than 200,000 more ballots from Democrats than, I'm sorry, from Republicans than Democrats.
That is historic.
We've never had that before in the last 20 years.
And then we hit the ground today and the polls open and immediately people poured into the polls and it's been incredible.
We're seeing in some places a two-to-one advantage on Republicans.
But I say that, and I want you to ignore I said that if you're out there and you haven't voted, get out and vote.
We need every single Republican to vote.
We worked all over this state.
I never gave up on any city, county, and we've put a headquarters up in Pima County, the most blue county in all of Arizona, because we know that in these blue cities and counties being run by, frankly, Democrats and socialists, the quality of life has gone just horribly.
It just has gone away for the people in places like Tucson.
And we're really pleased to report that right now we're seeing more Republicans show up to vote in Pima County today than Democrats.
I don't think that's ever happened before.
And I need people to continue to vote until 7 o'clock tonight.
We need to give President Trump a victory.
We need a victory in the Senate.
We need Kerry Lake in the Senate.
We need all of those candidates you just mentioned.
We must have a huge victory in order to save our country.
And I believe the people of Arizona, sick of the wide open borders, sick of the economy that's in the toilet.
And Arizona, which used to be an affordable state, becoming an unaffordable state, sick of the crime on the streets, sick of the growing homeless population, sick of the fentanyl crisis, sick of what they're doing to our children when we send them off to school and they push this gender insanity and then they have boys competing with our girls in sports.
The people today get to go and put an end to all that insanity and vote for President Trump and Kerry Lake.
And we're really, really feeling good about what we're seeing, but we've got to get out and vote.
Don't listen to what I just said.
Go and vote.
Vote, vote, vote like we're down 100%.
See, it's very hard.
We're in the same position.
I have all of this anecdotal data.
And I don't want to give it out because it's contradicting my main message, which is to assume that your vote will be the deciding vote.
So I'm being so hypocritical about it.
And I just don't feel it's I feel it's counterproductive to my message of the day.
I know.
Well, I just want people to know that in Arizona, people are getting the message.
We're tired of being called, you said it.
They've called us Nazi.
They've called us racist, misogynistic, xenophobic.
My opponent actually called people who vote for President Trump and Republicans the worst people in the world.
He's called police racist.
He's wanted to defund the police, tore the border wide open.
And the people get a chance to stop all of that and get back to common sense solutions to these problems.
And I think we're going to see even continued numbers.
I mean, remember, people are still working, and some people are going to just leave work a little early and vote.
We are voting until 7 p.m. here in Arizona.
And we did something different this year.
I was a little concerned, Sean, because we've had problems in the past before.
In 2022, we had polling locations that weren't functioning.
Remember, the machines went down, the printers went down, and, you know, it was in the Republican areas.
So with that still very fresh in my mind, we worked and I called over to Turning Point Action and I said, hey, what if there's problems at the polling places?
What are we going to do?
And Turning Point Action, incredible.
They rented a fleet of party buses and they have been deploying them to polling locations where we're hearing there are long lines.
They pull up and they say, do you want us to take you to a polling location 5, 10, 15 minutes away where there's no line?
People jump in the bus.
We take them there.
They vote and then they drop them back off.
And we have brought hundreds of people to polling locations around this county to bring them to where there's not going to be a line, where everything's working fine.
So we've been doing a lot of problem solving and troubleshooting.
And I'm really, really pleased with what we've been able to accomplish here.
Let me ask you one last question.
Why is it going to take so long in Arizona?
How long will it be until we know the results in Arizona?
Well, because of the early mail-in ballots, they have to be checked and verified and all of that.
I know.
They talked about having two pages.
I live in Florida.
They had two pages to vote on.
I mean, Florida is going to have their results early tonight.
Why can't Arizona?
You know what?
Maricopa County has 65% of our population.
Last legislative session, the legislature passed a piece of law, a bill that would have prevented this problem, would have given people who run our elections in Maricopa the option to let people bring their mail-in ballot in and scan it themselves.
And unfortunately, they did not implement that.
And that's a question for our county recorder.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we're wishing you the best.
Kerry Lake, thank you.
And I just say to everybody, and again, I'm not going to contradict my message, which is assume that your vote is the deciding vote and you will determine the outcome of this election.
And especially if you're in Georgia, and I'm going to repeat it, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, those are the states that are going to determine the outcome of this election.
And now, that doesn't mean if you're in a state that may be more blue that I don't want you to vote.
I do want you to vote.
We need Republican congressmen elected and Republican senators elected.
It'd be nice if we had a Republican Congress.
It seems like the congressional, generic congressional ballot and predictions are it could go either way in the House of Representatives.
If you're going to take the time to vote, you know, and you're voting for Donald Trump, give him a team to support him.
And that would mean vote for a Republican senator and a Republican congressman.
And I'd even put Republicans in the state house, et cetera, et cetera.
By the way, Subway Takes canceled video after she insulted a Muslim host.
Anyway, there's a popular web video series, Subway Takes.
Did you hear about this?
They decided not to publish an interview with Kamala Harris after she insulted the Muslim host by making jokes about bacon, insisting that bacon is a spice.
The host, person by the name of Kareem Rama, had wanted to help Harris and Tim Walz, partly because he's opposed to the war with Israel and Hamas and Gaza and believed that their policy was closer to his views.
But when Harris showed up for the interview, she shocked the guy, apparently insisting that her take be about the joys of bacon.
I'm like, that's about as bizarre as it could be.
But so anyway, if Donald Trump sat for an interview with a Muslim talk show host and started insulting the person by making bacon jokes, I can only imagine what the reaction would be.
You can't even make this stuff up.
I mean, the stuff that I have today is pretty crazy.
Kamala Harris was just on MSDNC.
She's calling people individually.
That's not going to work, Kamala.
Why didn't you do a few interviews and press conferences?
And why didn't you explain away all those radical positions?
We had a whopping like 300,000 downloads today of the Kamala files and the Walls files.
I've been talking about it forever.
Kamala, in her own words, Tim Walz, in his own words.
There are some states, by the way, we put it up as a public service so you can be an informed voter because the state-run media mob is never going to run it.
But we also have some states that allow you to register same day.
And if you want to know what those states are, we have, maybe we'll isolate that off on the website.
Blair, if you can get it done by the top of the arrow, that'd be great.
And if your state is a day of, you'd be able to register.
If you're saying, oh, I wish I could vote.
I wish I registered, but I didn't.
There are some states that allow that.
Just so you do know that there are a lot of people, somebody's calling me and listening to me right now.
I will call you back in three minutes, the person on the phone, okay?
And if you're online before the polls close, you earn the right to vote.
That is a, am I wrong on this, Linda?
That's that's a national law, right?
Every state has that.
If you are online, if you are online, no matter what time you're polling.
Before the polls close.
That's correct.
And in Pennsylvania, be very aware that Cambria, for instance, has had an extension to 10 p.m. tonight due to polling problems.
Cambria County is in Pennsylvania.
Correct.
I talked to Selena Zito, who will, along with Dave McCormick, she's going to be doing the show today.
So we'll get an update on the all-important.
But yes, if you are online, whatever time your polls close, if you are online, you stay online, you vote till you vote.
They have to stay there and let you vote.
I'd like to see, look, it would be nice.
I mean, this is why I say if you're in a blue state, don't think your vote doesn't matter, not only for a congressional race or a senatorial race.
How great would it be if Donald Trump were to win the popular vote?
Is it that impossible?
Well, the Hill has an article today.
Will Kamala Harris lose the popular vote?
Again, I am not making any predictions.
I have talked to people in every single state that I'm mentioning.
I've talked to people in Georgia.
I've talked to people in North Carolina.
I've talked to people in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona.
And I have a pretty good idea how they think this state's going to go.
But it doesn't, why would I give you that information if it might impact your decision to vote or not?
It makes no sense because there's still hours in our day that people can vote.
David Axelrod on trending politics, fake news CNN said, I'm worried about you're counting on some women who are independent Republican women to come out and vote for Harris.
Is that going to materialize?
Is the gender gap going to be what you need it to be?
Are minority voters going to come out and the numbers of African-American voters in particular?
Are you going to get the margins you want there?
The one thing I can say is coming into today, Kamala Harris and her team did have a math problem.
And the math problem was early voting.
Republicans were banking their vote.
They got out and they did that, which they themselves didn't even want to do.
And that is vote early.
And they did it.
And I thank you for that.
Now the rest of you need to get out.
If you haven't voted in the last three presidential elections, do you want to vote in this one?
It would be nice to have you.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I want to remind you about Simply Safe Home Security.
If you want to know who to ask for the best system, probably you want to ask the men and women that are in law enforcement.
And I'll tell you about that on the other side.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
He never stops working for the good of the country.
Kennedy's on with behind-the-scenes information on today's breaking news and bold-inspired solutions for America every day.
All right, as we roll along, 800-941-Sean is our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, I want to remind you about Simply Safe Home Security.
If you need a security system, who are you going to rely on for information for the best one for you and your family?
Probably somebody in law enforcement.
One veteran officer recently wrote to Simply Safe to thank them for the peace of mind that he has every time he leaves his home.
Now, he's worked everything from burglaries, home invasions, murders.
He only trusts Simply Safe, and it's a system that I have been using and trusting forever.
What I love about Simply Safe is they keep advancing their technology.
Right now, you're going to get 60% off any new SimplySafe security system.
You simply go to simply safeoneword.com/slash Hannity.
They have their active guard outdoor protection.
