Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number, it's eight hundred and nine four one,
Shawn if you want to be a part of the program.
Three days away and mail and ballots will be going
out in states like North Carolina elsewhere. We are in Harrisburg,
PA for tonight's town hall with President Donald J. Trump.
Thirteen days until early voting begins right here in this state,

(00:24):
rolls out all around the country all the other swing states,
and sixty two days until election day, and I would
argue it is an inflection point for the country. We
start tonight with a lot of sad news. What we
know now is a Georgia high school shooting has taken
place north central Georgia, Borrow County. And I know the

(00:45):
area well, Appalachi High School and it's about forty miles
or so northeast of Atlanta. And it started at about
ten twenty three this morning. Officers, multiple law enforcement agents,
sees fire, ems personnel dispatch to the high school reported
active shooting. What we know as of now, and this

(01:08):
could change throughout the day, and you know, our thoughts
and prayers are with our friends in Georgia. I lived
in Georgia four years. I have a lot of friends there.
Is that four have been confirmed dead and you know,
nine taken to hospitals. They think thirty one report that
thirty had been shot altogether, and we just don't know

(01:30):
the condition of the people. I'm sure we'll be hearing
more about it as the day unfolds, but our prayers
are with everybody there, and it is very fluid. We
know that the shooter is believed to be a fourteen
year old male and that, you know, God, we just
don't know the whys, the how comes, the wherefores other

(01:51):
than the other than that, and you know, we probably
will know a lot more in the hours to come.
And it just tragic because there are families today that
have lost their children and their parents today that are
in hospital rooms framed for their kids. And it just is,
you know, another example that evil, unfortunately does exist in

(02:14):
this world, and you know, we see it with a
lot of different issues. This is why I don't understand
this mentality of no bail laws or defund or do
you know, dismantle, you know, reimagine what does this mean?
Reimagine the police what does any of that mean. That's
why I don't understand eleven million unvetted illegal immigrants on

(02:35):
our southern border. And in spite of the fact that
I read the names and scroll the names on television,
you know, on a near nightly basis, of all these
people that have been murdered and raped and victims of
violent crimes, you know, we're still told, no, the border
is secure, the border is safe. You know, Donald Trump

(02:56):
wants to build a wall, but if he builds a
twenty five foot wall, I'll build a thirty foot ladder
factory or that if Donald Trump, you know, Donald Trump
actually thinks a wall is going to stop terrorists, an
invasion of terrorists. Well, what's happened since they opened the
borders and then lied to us and said, you know,
the borders are secure. I mean, there's politics behind it,

(03:18):
but then there's just the pure evil in the world,
which is why you protect your home, you protect your environment.
I've said about schools in particular, I would have the
perimeter of every school in this country surrounded. I would
make sure that you had retired military police. You don't
have to be in they don't have to be in

(03:39):
swat gear. Or camouflage. They could be just dressed in
regular clothes. He's around the perimeter, secure the perimeter of
every school. And then you have also a retired military,
retired police again armed inside the school, and you protect
that school environment. You create a own which is safe.

(04:00):
I can tell you the amount of secret Service work
that has gone into tonight's town hall is I've never
seen this much. And this is post assassination attempt. It's
a different environment. If we can protect presidents and presidential candidates,
why don't we protect our children too. And I think

(04:21):
that would be the very first line of defense. And
every kid that goes into any school should have to
go through a metal detector. You go to the airport,
you go through a metal detector. I go to the
DNC or the RNC, I go through a metal detector.
I get wanded, I have to empty my pockets, and
you know, just basic common sense measures. And I need
a picture. I d even to get the people that

(04:44):
think that it's you know, racist, It doesn't matter. I mean,
it doesn't take away the pain that these families are
going to go through. Now. You know one thing that
I've learned over the years interviewing family members that have
lost loved ones. Is that pain never goes away you
lose the child. I have seen examples of people that
have done okay, but they're never the same. They're never

(05:08):
the same. And anyway, our prayers are with our friends
in Georgia today, and you know we'll keep you up
to speed on any new developments on this. But this
Georgia school shooting, it's just sad. It's tragic. And I
would argue, if you have security measures in place, having
learned from previous school shootings, then a lot of this

(05:30):
could be preventable. I'm not saying all of it, but
a lot of it. If you did everything that I
just said, and I've been saying this for years, create
a perimeter around the school. Nobody gets in, you know
the school, and unless you have the appropriate identification, unless
you're a student, then you go through a metal detective,

(05:51):
then you go into the school. I mean, we do
that to get on an airplane every single time. Do
that to get into Democratic Republican conventions every single time.
Had to show my ID four separate times to get
into the DNCW. Hi, mister Hannity, could I see can
I see your credentials? Please, here you go, here's my credentials.

(06:13):
So and then if you did those things, ask yourself,
what are the odds that this wouldn't happen? Would they
not be greatly reduced? I think it would be. And
I'm not blaming the school and I'm not blaming this area.
You know, it can happen anywhere. That's the problem, just
like drug overdose can happen. Any of these things can

(06:34):
happen anywhere. So you just always have to prepare for
the worst, to assume the worst. I always tell people
to have a home safety security plan and a personal
safety and security plan. I mean, obviously because of what
I do for a living. I don't talk about all
the threats that I face and have face to my life.
I don't think anybody wants to hear it. But I

(06:54):
take it seriously and want to take our schools seriously
and then prevent what happened today from happening. And it's
not going to bring comfort to say that again, but
maybe then we can stop the next time we got
serious about it. And I know it will be politicized
and you know, but and people say, you know, well,

(07:15):
this has to do with guns, guns, guns, and I
don't think that's the answer. I think actually the guys
with the guns that are trained in the proper safety
and use of it, surrounding the building and being inside
the building would probably save lives. That's you know. But
we'll find out more details as they've become available, you know.
So I'm doing this town hall with Trump tonight and

(07:37):
Trump Vance have done a combined thirty four interviews since
last month, compared to only sixteen minutes and twenty nine
seconds for Kamala Harris in eleven minutes for Tim Walls.
I mean, it's thirty five as of tonight, and there's
so much we do not know about this woman. And

(08:00):
the one sixteen minute interview on fake news CNN, we
walk away from that interview. We have no idea that
the woman who co sponsored the Green New Deal in
the US Senate that is on tape saying that she
would abandon the filibuster to pass the ninety three trillion
dollar Green New Deal, we don't know if she still

(08:22):
stands by that. How do you call that journalism? That's
not journalism. You know, the person that supported and co
sponsored again both these bills with Bernie Sanders Medicare for all,
she's on fake news CNN saying that she supports Medicare
for all in the elimination of all private healthcare. There's

(08:44):
a study at a Great Britain today the nih young
people now on private health insurance because they're sick and
tired of a failed government insurance, the government run insurance
that they have there. That's a disaster. Why do so
many people with you know, universal health care in Canada,
single pair, come down to the US for healthcare because

(09:05):
the system is not working. You know, we have a
sixteen minute interview, but we don't know if she still
supports decriminalizing illegal immigration and wants to offer free housing, healthcare,
education in a path to citizenship for illegals. We don't know,
you know, we don't know if she stands by her
tweet supporting a bail fund four days after police precinct

(09:26):
was burned to the ground for the rioters in the
in the summer of twenty twenty five hundred and seventy
four riots, dozens of dead Americans, we had billions in
property damage, thousands of injured cops. And does she stand
by saying the rioters won't stop rioting and shouldn't stop

(09:47):
and we're not going to stop. You know, the person,
we don't know where she stands on the economy except
she wants to go after big corporations and for price gauging.
And it's like, okay, but they only make in groceries,
for example, one point six percent profit margins. That's hardly

(10:07):
out of the ordinary. And what do you think is
going to happen when you go after these companies? They're
going to hire lawyers and fight back, and they're gonna
have to raise their prices to pay for the expensive
law firms they're gonna have to hire. But Bidenomics, we're
proud of it. We call it Bidenomics, and it's we're
proud of that. Reimagining the police and Ice Well would

(10:28):
never say the word radical Islamic terrorism. How will we
forty five days in one short interview? And now we're
six days away from the one debate, and even last
week they were trying to change the rules of the debate. Then,
of course the tax policies. They're going to tax corporations,
and they're going to tax small businesses. Then they're going

(10:51):
to tax medicare, and then they're gonna have unrealized capital gains.
Then they're going to have a global minimum tax for corporations,
which means that what not going to be We're not
going to be the tax haven, because we'll go along
with all these other countries and tax these corporations when
otherwise corporations that may want to avoid paying these these
radically highst Marxist rates would be coming to America flocking

(11:16):
with their billions and billions of dollars. What would they
be doing with those billions if we didn't go along
with the rest of the rest of the Marxist socialized
leftist world. Well, they'd be creating high paying career jobs.
And job growth went down dramatically, Job availability went down
dramatically this month, and high paying career jobs for Americans.

(11:37):
You can't keep forcing electric vehicles on Americans and expect
Americans to do anything other than not want to buy them.
And then when they don't buy them, then Ford loses
four and a half billion dollars. Well, what happens to Ford?
Then then they have less money to pay their employees.
That means they have less money for high paying career

(11:58):
jobs in the auto industry. And this is where we
now find ourselves as a country. At a moment where
we just don't know. It's like the ghost. We don't
know where she stands. In the media. We have corrupt
institutions that are just happy to allow this to happen. Well,
Aaron Burnett over at see it, and maybe we ought to.

(12:20):
Maybe she just want to follow the strategy of not
talking to the media. How about maybe you should have
demanded when when she was on your network, that she
answer for her radical, extreme and frankly dangerous policies that
she has stated she supports in her own words. Maybe
that's what they should have done, you know, all of
a sudden now, according to unnamed spokespeople, don't forget about

(12:44):
the Medicare for all things. And never mind she sponsored
the bill eliminating private health insurance. It's in her own words.
Now we're told she wants to build a border wall,
mocking Donald Trump, Pah, border wall, it's not going to work.
He thinks a bunch of terrorists are going to be
invading our country. Well, since she's been vice president and

(13:06):
borders are you know, we have hundreds of people with terroritized.
We don't know where they are. We don't even they
won't tell us where they came from, but that are
in our country, and I would argue they're plotting, planning
and scheming the next attack against our country, you know,
decriminalizing you know, free healthcare, education and housing, and the

(13:27):
running mate wants free college education, offers legal drivers' licenses
to illegals, mandatory gun buybacks. By the way, even Fake
News CNN had to fit call around on her line
when she said no, I said in twenty twenty, I'm
not for a fracking band. No, she never said it
in the debate, as she claimed on fake News CNN. Anyway,
we're in Harrisburg. We have a lot to get to

(13:48):
a President Trump tonight, looking forward to seeing many of
you down there. And I am right here in Harrisburg.
I am here at an undisclosed location. And Linda, looking
very hungry, wanted a bite of my Philly cheese steak,
which is Harrisburg, which was excellent. I got to get
the name of the place we went to. A right

(14:10):
as we roll along, eight hundred nine point one shot
our number. If you want to be a part of
the program, we are in beautiful Harrisburg, PA. Glad to
see now we are, you know, for security reasons, there's
a lot going on for tonight's town hall. And I've
done town halls, you know, for every presidential election season,
and this one is harder because of the assassination attempt.

(14:32):
And I can tell you they don't even want people
on the floor, and they've been very strict about the
time that people can actually get into the facilities. And
there's been a lot of checking and things that we
never had to go through before, all Secret Service mandated,
which I'm all for. I want to make sure that
everybody's safe. But anyway, but there's a lot to get

(14:53):
to tonight. I don't know how I possibly get it
done in an hour. I mean, I promise you that
Donald Trump will talk more than sixteen minutes and twenty
nine seconds. I can promise you that part. I mean,
but we've got everything to discuss. If this campaign becomes
about their economic failed economic policies, If it becomes about

(15:14):
their open borders and they're lying about the borders and
they're lying about the economy. If it becomes about are
you better off than you wore four years ago, If
it becomes about energy prices, if you lies Hannity supplies

(15:38):
the truth. Sean Hannity is on right now, all right,
twenty five to the top of the hour. As we continue.
We are in beautiful Harrisburg, PA for our town hall
President Trump tonight. And look, this election's coming on fast
and furious. Early ballots go out mailing ballots in North

(15:58):
Carolina elsewhere, and just few days in this great state
of Pennsylvania. Early voting starts in only thirteen days and
sixty two days until election day, and it's game time,
no other way to put it. Anyway, We'll give you
the other news of the day. We are following the
shooting in this Georgia school shooting Appalachi High School. I

(16:20):
hope I pronounced that the right way in winder It's
about forty miles northeast of Atlanta. We have as of now,
this could change four dead, thirty plus wounded, suspecting custody expected.
They've identified to the person as a fourteen year old anyway,

(16:41):
so we just don't know anymore. We'll keep you up
to speed throughout the show. But look, if you've served
our country and our communities, thank you. There's a massive
benefit waiting for all of you. If you're current former military,
current former law enforcement, first responder, teacher, other government personnel.
Now you're going to get a free and there's no

(17:02):
strings attached membership to gov X. Now what is govx.
It is the largest online marketplace that is exclusively for
those who serve. You'll save up to forty percent off
of the most desirable brands things you would buy anyway,
Ray Band, Oakley, Stanley, north Face, men's women active wear,

(17:22):
tons of hunting gear plus save up to forty percent
off if you go on a cruise, go to hotels,
go to theme parks, concerts, even sporting events, and your
membership is free if you've served. And what they've done
at gov x is they very smartly have made arrangements
with all of these these great businesses and venues for

(17:45):
you to save money. And it doesn't cost you anything
to sign up. And as a matter of fact, if
you go go to govx dot com right now, use
the promo code Shawn Sea and you'll save an additional
fifteen percent off your first purchase. It's you know, freedom
sign up. There's no membership fee, you just save money
on buying the things that you're normally gonna buy. Is

(18:06):
go to govax dot com. Govx dot com promo coach
Shawn Sea n and saving money for those who serve
such a great service. It's there anyway. So we just
don't know what to expect, but we know that there
are powerful forces aligned against Donald Trump. Look at Big Tech.

(18:27):
Look at what we played, and we'll played again later
in the program. Today, Alexa, Alexa, tell me why I
should vote for Donald Trump. We're not allowed to get
involved in any political opera. Rent, why should I vote
for Kamala Harris? Well, Kamala Harris is just fantastic, the
greatest thing since sliced bread, the second Coming of Jesus.
It's insane. And look what Zuckerberg said. Oh yeah they did. Yeah,

(18:49):
they were warning us in the weeks leading up to
the twenty twenty election, we may be victims of a
Russian disinformation campaign about Hunter, Joe and Barisma. The FBI
already crab the story, followed up by fifty one former
Intel people that knew nothing, absolutely positively nothing about Hunter's
very real laptop, verified authenticated by the FBI in March

(19:12):
of twenty twenty. I mean, these are powerful forces. The
media is a powerful institution. Big Tech is a powerful institution. Now,
with that said, two guys that have nailed the presidential
elections in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty are now saying
Matt tower Robert Caahelly, two of our regular posters. They're

(19:36):
on TV last night. You know, they were both in
the top three posters in the sixteen and twenty cycles.
These guys are very, very thorough, and they're very good,
and right now they show that Donald Trump is doing
extremely well in terms of these swing states in spite

(19:59):
of the honeymoon that is, the honeymoon kind of remains
in the sense that the media is not vetting Kamala Harris.
There's just nothing new, and now she's becoming a boring
presidential candidate who just won't do interviews, which is beginning
to piss people off. And Towery said this last night
that he believes that Harris is now stalling out now

(20:19):
that the novelty has worn off and the momentum that
we were seeing after the DNC has sort of come
to an end, he said. And anyway, the enthusiasm that
we've seen, you know, is now slowed dramatically and is
now close to parody, and it seems like it's going
to be a base election and I don't know what

(20:42):
the tipping point is going to be. I don't think
anybody here we are sixty two days until election day
can predict what's going to happen between now and then.
That would change this race. Probably the single biggest opportunity
for both candidates is going to be during this debate,
and we'll just see what happened happens. But you know
one thing you can look at Axios actually put this

(21:03):
out is Harris compared to Biden's polling in twenty twenty
is pretty dramatic under thirty voters. And by the way,
if you're between the ages of eighteen to twenty four,
Kamala Harris thinks you are stupid and that's why they
put you in dormitories with resident assistants, again an untold
story by the media. But under thirty voters, Harris is

(21:25):
trailing Biden polling from twenty twenty by twelve percentage points
among African Americans. She's trailing Biden twenty twenty polls by
ten points Hispanic Americans. She's trailing Biden twenty twenty by
six percentage points. Men. She's trailing by four women. She's
trailing Biden by two over sixty five. She leads Biden

(21:47):
by one. And that is not exactly the best numbers
for Kamala Harris by any stretch of the imagination. Even
over at MSTNC, you know, they said that although President Trump,
they believe was was down in the head to head
match up poll, which really is not what matters. We

(22:07):
have an electoral college. The former president had come back
from you know, worse and previous elections to either win
and mega very close. And I think that I think
the same thing. It looks like it's going to unfold
here today, and I think that this Kamala Harris duck
and dodge and hide and flip and flop and flail

(22:30):
strategy is not going to wear well in the weeks ahead.
And we'll see if my prediction ends up being right here.
You know, the Harris campaign is sending out you know
now they want to flip and flop again. I mean,
I can't believe that it's happening, but you know, this
is what they're doing. They've passed they've now changed their
position on Medicare for all and eliminating health insurance in

(22:53):
the border wall. Now, at least according to aids that
are anonymous and maybe they've dec they're against the criminalizing
border crossings, but we don't know. But they're definitely against
a stated position of mandatory gun buybacks. You know, she
said on CNN, Oh no, I said that not for
a fracking ban in a debate in twenty twenty, and

(23:13):
even Fake New CNN had the fact checker and said,
you never did say that. In twenty twenty, you didn't
say it, and offshore drilling and taxing tips And now
the latest is the EV mandate. You know, the problem
is Senator Harris was a co sponsor of the Zero
Admissions Vehicles Act in twenty nineteen that initially proposed to

(23:35):
require one hundred percent of new car sales to be
evs or otherwise be a mission free by twenty forty.
And that's all the big deal. She was the second
highest ranking member of the Biden administration while it pursued
the biggest EV agenda the American history. Ford lost four
point five billion dollars. And this, at some point, do

(23:59):
you do you have to ask yourself who you're voting for.
You just you just don't care because you just hate
Donald Trump. Because that really is the strategy. Let's not
make this about substance. Let's make this campaign about all
things Donald Trump anyway. Advocates for reparations are hopeful, according
to a report today, that Harris will deliver her given

(24:19):
her previous support. In twenty nineteen, Kamala Harris, then senator,
called for some form of reparations for black Americans. You
know though a poll from the previous years indicated only
twenty five percent of Americans support that. The White House
says dismiss questions about this Kamala Harris new southern accent
which we played yesterday. It's like, all right, well, the

(24:41):
real Kamala please please stand up. It was a post
on is this true? On x Kamala in twenty seventeen
claimed her grandmother would go from village to village in India?
Is this true? Because it looks like it as a video,
so says is that true? Have you heard it? I
mean the bullhorn preaching about the need for abortion.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I've seen it.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Kamala Harris claim that she once worked for McDonald's. Now
I don't know if she worked for McDonald's or not,
but it is coming under. Did you hear about that?
It's coming under? Fire Man it's coming under fire because
since she cited the meal from Kamala, no happy meals,
not one, well you or at least no record of it.
You wouldn't give your son a happy meal. And you
know what I told the truth about that. No happy

(25:29):
meals on my record either. Okay. So, an extensive investigation
by the Washington Free Beacon, including a review of her
employment records, a search through multiple Harris biographies, a check
with McDonald's employment archivist, has turned up absolutely zero evidence
that Harris ever works slinging big max and happy meals

(25:52):
in quarter pounders with cheese and anyway. The Free Beacon
reports that Harris is McDonald's job goes unmentioned in both
of her memoirs, published in twenty ten and twenty nineteen.
The Truths We Hold, publish ahead of our maiden presidential bid,
does include a passage on the many jobs she held

(26:13):
in college, but she never worked at McDonald's or reference McDonald's.
What Ethan was able to pull up? The grandmother thing? Oh,
it's here.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I come from a long line of tough, trail blazing
and phenomenal women. My grandmother would go into villages in
India and because she was Indian and lived in India,
and she would go to the villages in India. It

(26:41):
was a famous story in our family. My grandfather would
say she was going to be the end of his career,
but my grandmother would go into the villages with a
bullhorn talking with the women about the need to have
access to reproductive healthcare.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I oh, that's what her grandmother did. This is now
the big abortion push, the big abortion lies. They're going
to try and turn that into the biggest thing in
the world. By the way, GoldStar families are absolutely apoplectic, rightly, So,
they invited Kamala, They've reached out to Kamala Harris. They've

(27:16):
not gotten Kamala to responder, Joe Biden to respond. Donald
Trump shows up. The families are so grateful, they said
that they've he has given them comfort in their time
of need. It's not the first time that he met
with them. He's met with these families that were killed.
They lost thirteen service members because of the disaster in
Afghanistan or that awful pull out, and he goes and

(27:39):
meets with them. The families asked for a picture by
their relative's gravesite. I don't know what the rules at
Arlington are I really don't. But if I was there
and a family came to me and said, would you
mind taking a picture? And as a public figure, what
am I supposed to say to a grieving family? No?
How do you say no to that? And he showed

(28:00):
up and gave these families comfort, And then he's the
one that is criticized, not the people that stayed home
and one staying on the beach and the other was
ten minutes away in her own house. The White Houses
falsely claiming grocery prices have come down. No, they're up
twenty some odd percent, just like Biden. Inflation up twenty

(28:20):
some odd percent. We have weak manufacturing numbers coming out.
US factories remained in a slow down mode in August,
fueling fears about where the economy is headed. Institute for
Supply Management monthly survey showed just forty seven point two
percent reported expansion during the month, well below the fifty
percent break even point for activity. That's not a good number.

(28:44):
If you know, if you look at Wasserman, Schultz Harris's
focus on abortion over the economy, you know, Biden harris
economic record is incredibly strong. Well, tell me about it.
What's so strong about it? You pay more for groceries,
more for everything you buy at every store you go to,
or are you paying less? You pay more for gasoline

(29:05):
and you're paying less for gasoline. I mentioned healthcare earlier.
She wants to eliminate private healthcare. This is out of
the UK World News. Long national health service weights are
the top reason for going private, according to a survey.
The findings point to a generational shift in attitudes towards

(29:25):
private healthcare, with those between the ages of eighteen to
thirty four being more willing to use it. In other words,
not being able to get and not a National Health
service appointment quickly enough was the top reason people cited
for using private healthcare, which commona would make you illegal.

(29:46):
But they're the Freedom and Joy Party, just like taking
away your guns, the Freedom and Joy Party. But I
guess you know freedom is defined at what abortion up
until the moment of birth, with no restrictions on late
term abortion? What about the freedom of not being assaulted
like a Haitian immigrant who flew to the US courtesy
of Harris and Biden, who, by the way, is now

(30:10):
in this program, charged in Massachusetts for sexually assaulting a
ten year old boy. What about his freedom? What about
the joy in that kid's life he's been You know,
they have Democratic Senator from Arizona, Kelly Well Harris only
had a half a second to think when she supported
decriminalizing border crossings. Okay, what about the day after she

(30:30):
could have fixed the mistake that she made, or the
day after that, or the day after that. We now
have illegal immigrants making up to seventy five percent of
arrests in midtown in New York City. You know, a
pathetic sanctuary city law, handcuffing police and their ability to
