As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Sean reflects on the attack, the lives lost, and why a new generation needs to understand what happened that day. Former FBI agent Nicole Parker recounts being near the World Trade Center when the planes struck, escaping lower Manhattan, and how witnessing 9/11 ultimately inspired her to leave finance and serve her country. Sean also examines the controversy surrounding New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s planned appearance at the 9/11 memorial and returns to the broader debate over terrorism, Iran, and America’s responsibility to remember.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show. Toll free, it is 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program,
only 56 days to the most important election. It's an
inflection point for America. I hope you're getting the importance
of it. There are people out there that just refuse
to understand how important and imperative it was to prevent
(00:21):
Iran from ever becoming a nuclear power. There are people
out there that will tell you they feel sorry for
you if you think radical Islam is a threat to
the United States. On Friday, it will be 25 years
since 9-11-01. And then New York City, it's rather ironic,
(00:44):
elected a radical mayor that won't even go to the
Israeli Day Parade, whose wife celebrated or at least approved
of the postings of people On social media, it's kind
of breathtaking to me that we're supportive of what happened
on October 7th. It would have been the equivalent of
(01:05):
40,000 dead Americans in a day. We lost 2,977 Americans
that day. Many others have died from 9-11-related illnesses and
the ensuing conflicts that took place to prevent more terror
attacks on our homeland. I mean, it's hard to wrap
my mind around the fact that we have to educate
(01:25):
people on this very topic. You think they remember? I
understand younger people that didn't live through it. We lived
through it, just like my parents lived through what happened
at Pearl Harbor. My father fought for four years in
the Pacific in World War II. My father never forgot
Pearl Harbor. That generation never forgot Pearl Harbor. Anyway, so
(01:45):
the controversy has now emerged about Mamdani. Zoran Marxist Kami Mamdani.
And there are people speaking out today. One woman named
Joanne Areola, New York City Councilwoman, saying that Mamdani should
should not show up for 9-11 for the ceremony because
he surrounds himself with people who think we deserve 9-11.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Mayor Mamdani has done everything he can to suck the
oxygen out of the room for this particular event we're
holding today. From performative signings of executive orders to an 8.30,
not planned in advance, release, that he's going to release
the information regarding the air quality down at 9-11 at
(02:34):
Ground Zero. What he's trying to do is deflect, as
he always does, from the real issue, which is that
he does not care about 9-11 or the tragedies that
took place because he surrounds himself with people who believe
(02:56):
that America deserved what it got. And he does not
disavow them. He does not step away from them. That's
really why you shouldn't be there. Other politicians will be there.
No one will speak. It is about the survivors. It
is about those who were murdered that day. But Mayor Mamdani,
(03:20):
he surrounds himself with people who say that if your
hands are dirty, you should wipe them on the flag.
He surrounds himself with people who have represented Al-Qaeda members
who took the lives of Americans. He doesn't understand that
(03:40):
the people standing behind me and the 101,000 people who
signed the petition feel that he is as much against
them as those terrorists were on the day they lost
their loved ones.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And here's another New York City councilwoman. This one is
named Vicky Palladino, demanding that Mondani not show up for
9-11 and the 9-11 ceremonies on Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Well, here we stand on the steps of City Hall,
25 years later. Who would have ever thought in a
million years that we would have a petition with 101,000
names on it of fellow New Yorkers standing on the
steps of City Hall asking for a mayor not to
(04:25):
attend the most tragic day in our nation's history that
happened to be right here in New York City.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
But we are.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Standing here and we are standing strong. I'm not asking
politely for the mayor not to come to 9-11, to
that ceremony. I am asking, I am demanding that he
not show his face at that sacred ground. He does
not belong there. When you associate yourself with the likes
(04:58):
of Hassan Paika, and you have as your chief counselor
right here in this building, Rasim Hassan, who was handed
a sacred pen yesterday, very cryptic, through our police commissioner
so that it could go into his hands. That was
(05:19):
a message to each and every one of us, cryptic.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
As it is, but read through the lines.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What's going on here.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
In City Hall and what we got representing us here
in City Hall, they do not belong on sacred ground.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I could go through a list of.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Of people that he associates himself with and continues to
associate himself with. We, the people, do not care for
Zoran Mandati.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
All right, here with us now is Nicole Parker.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
She's the author of the bestseller, The Two FBIs, The
Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau.
She was working in the World Trade Financial Center on 9-11.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
She was there. She was very successful there.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
In the Wall Street world at the time, it became
a pivotal point in her life in the sense that
she saw what happened, she lived it, and it was
an inflection point. And then she turned her passion, her
work into getting into the FBI was one of very
(06:28):
few that applied that actually got accepted. And she wanted
to fight for the country that she loved. Unfortunately, she
dealt with an FBI that was weaponized and politicized under
James Comey. And that later led to her making a
tough decision to get out of this. Nicole Parker actually
texted her dad on 9-11-01 at 849 a.m. Dad, there
(06:52):
was just an explosion across at the World Trade Center.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I saw it. I'm fine. Nicole. And, you know, she,
you know, she she sees it firsthand.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I mean, I think everybody needs to stop and think
and reflect and become a little bit thoughtful and introspective
about about what it is that Donald Trump is doing
with Iran and why it's been necessary. Every single person
that knows, and I've gone over this with many, many
people many, many times, the people that saw the presidential
(07:24):
daily briefings, they said the president had no option.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
He had no choice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Every other president before him said the words, Iran can
never have a nuclear weapon. And then JPCOA came along
and Barack Obama drops cargo planes full of cash and
other currencies. on the tarmac in Iran for the mullahs
of Iran.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It's insane. Anyway, Nicole Parker joins us now.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm sure it's a vivid memory for you.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
It is for me.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
The day that goes down as the worst day, obviously,
in United States history.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
But for those of us that witnessed it, it was
the most impactful day of my life.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
I was 23 years old at the time. And you're right,
I was working at Merrill Lynch. I used to walk
through the World Trade Center every morning for my commute.
I took the one train down to the Cortland Street
World Trade Center station. And I would exit at One
World Trade Center and.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I get emotional even thinking about it.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
I would walk through and then I would take the
escalator over the footbridge to the World Financial Center to
Merrill Lynch. I got there around 7.45 in the morning
was when I was in One World Trade Center about.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
One hour before that first plane hit that tower.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I went to my office. It was actually my brother's birthday.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It's on 9-11.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
It was the day of an election. I was getting
ready for the day, taking care of a few personal matters.
My boss at the time was Wynn Smith at Merrill Lynch.
He was the chairman of Merrill Lynch International. He was
in Japan. And I was just getting ready for the day.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
The next thing I know, my.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Colleague comes in a little earlier than normal. We're having
a conversation. And we all of a sudden heard the
loudest explosion I have ever heard in my life. And
I immediately stopped and I looked at her and we looked.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
At each other and we knew something was wrong.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
I immediately ran to the window and the North Tower
One World Trade Center was on fire, Sean. And it
was incomprehensible to me. I could not process what I
was seeing. It was the worst nightmare you could ever imagine.
And my first thought was there are people dying up there.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
We didn't know what it was. We didn't know that
it was an airplane. I just said, you know what,
there are people dying up there. This is terrible.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
And things continued to get worse. But that email that
I sent my father from my Merrill Lynch email account
is an important part of history and an artifact that
I will always hold on to.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I was there. I saw it.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
And for those of us that lived this this is
not just about politics. This is not about mayors showing up.
This is a day of terror that changed us. And
you can never, ever unsee the images.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
That we saw. Because what happened at 846, Sean, was
just the beginning of.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Things continued to unravel. The South Tower was then hit.
And we knew at that point, we saw the plane
coming into the South Tower and we knew this was
not an accident. We are under attack. And I, at
that point, I'm like, I got to get out of here. Like,
I don't know what everyone else here at Maryland is
going to do, but something in my heart was like, Nicole,
you need to get out of here. Originally, people were like,
(10:38):
stay put where you are. It's safer inside the building.
There's tons of debris outside.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And something in my soul was like, Nicole, you need
to get out.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And I followed several of my coworkers. Again, I'm from Texas,
23 years old. I could not wrap my head around
what I was seeing. It just seemed like a terrible nightmare.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
And it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
It was real. And no matter how many times I
tried to tell myself, this is not happening. Sean, I
witnessed the battle between good and evil right before my eyes.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
It's not something that.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
You just read about. This is literal.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
And I felt evil all around me. And there were
people dying. And we could see them. They had no
better option, whether they, I think some of them chose
to jump, probably. Some of them, I think, they were
literally holding onto the side of the World Trade Center,
and they probably slipped. But jumping was their.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I think they jumped because they were about to burn
to death, and they thought that was the quicker way out.
And I don't fault them one bit for that decision.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, it was over. And they just saw the
truth for what it was.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
And when they were coming down, they would come down, Sean,
they crashed.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
To the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It was terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
My friends that were there on the ground at the time,
you know, described it to me. And it is not
something you're ever going to forget and something that you
can ever erase from your memory ever, ever, ever.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Until the day I die. And you know what? That
is why I am so strong and never forgetting.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
That is why I walked away from finance, Sean. I
worked at a multi-billion dollar hedge.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Fund and I made a vow on 9-11 as I
was exiting my building.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
I had a spiritual moment and I knew in my heart,
I had this feeling and it was me introspectively saying, Nicole,
if you die today, are you ready to die? Are
you prepared to meet your maker? Because none of those
people in that World Trade Center building, they did not
think that they were going to be vaporized by an
airplane when they went to work that day.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
And it does.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
It makes you think, am I ready to die? What
have I done with my life?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What have I done?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
And at that moment, I said, you know what? One day,
I will give back. I will serve my country. I
will give back.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
And I will stand as a witness of God. And
I will stand as a witness of truth.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And I did the best that I could.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
It was in 2009. I started my application process.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
To the FBI. I was accepted.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
In 2010, I started at Quantico. I went to training.
And that is what I did in my effort to keep.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
That vow that I made on 9-11 to give back.
Because you know who saved us, Sean? It was NYPD.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
It was the Port Authority Police Department.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It was FDNY.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
All of us, thousands of us were looking up.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
We weren't moving because we were in shock.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
It was NYPD that said, get away from the buildings.
Get away from the towers.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
You've got to keep moving.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Move, move, move.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
I'll tell you, I stood for a long time, me
and my coworkers. And then my coworker, Mark Colori, I'm still.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Friends with these people. He said, I have a strong
feeling we need to get off this island. We've got
to get off the island.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
We were near the Winter Garden at this point at
the World Financial Center. We had nowhere else to go.
We got onto a ferry. I ended up going to
New Jersey. I ended up going to Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Later that night.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I didn't return back to my home in New York
City for five days, Sean, five days.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Well, I'll tell you, we're not going to forget this
week and later in this program, Michael W. Smith, There
she stands. He did a new version of it and
we'll show it Friday night on television. But I'm telling you,
for those people that don't understand the importance of this
and we'll get into why. I mean, I know Mamdani
is promising to go. He's not wanted there. We'll see
(14:06):
how the reaction is. You know, people are mad at
President Trump because he's going to the Pentagon. The Pentagon
also got hit that day. You can't be in three
locations at one time. And he's and if you go
back to President Trump at the time when he was
just Donald Trump. and he was helping the people out
there on the ground from day one. So it's just,
(14:26):
you know, everybody just looks for something to hate him about. Nicole,
you have done all that good that you would hope
for and more, and we still appreciate your voice. It's
more important now than ever. Thank you for being with us.
All right, 800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to
be a part of the program. All right, let's get
to our busy telephones here. Let's say hi to Roman.
(14:48):
Roman is in Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Roman, hi. How are you? Glad you called. Hope you
had a great Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hey, Sean. Good to talk to you. I did. I
had a great weekend. Thank you very much. I hope
you did, too. I wanted to talk today about... The
moral degradation. I would love to talk about 9-11 and,
you know, we've got a lot of anniversaries coming up,
bad ones. 9-11 and then Charlie's anniversary coming up. But
(15:13):
I really want to talk about Lindsey Clancy and the
moral degradation that's happening to the progressive left. We had
12 jurors. Eleven cowards, okay? Nine of them were women
who basically felt with their feelings and two men who
(15:34):
were deathly afraid of all those women, cowards. And one
man who stood up and spoke for the children and said,
this cannot stand. The buck ends with me. I am
not backing down. Bravo to you, sir. To withstand, I
can only imagine the pressure that he was under. I've
been a police officer for 30 years, Sean. I know
(15:57):
what the ins and outs of courts, and I've been
involved in trials and all that. And women fought for
100 years. Well, they fought to get the right to vote.
And now they are fighting for the right to be
able to kill your children. And they are fighting for
the right to be able to terminate a nine-month pregnancy,
(16:20):
which just happened in Massachusetts a couple weeks ago. And
they're cheering about it. And this is a dark day
for women's rights. It really is, because I do believe
women can do anything men can do. But the progressive
left has gone... That courthouse in Plymouth was... It's a
(16:42):
big building, and it's got a big parking lot. There
was hundreds, if not thousands, of women with signs, you know,
just rallying, but it looked like an organized mob. They
were all wearing pink. Two jurors went into the courthouse,
jurors wearing pink. A judge said nothing. The jury wasn't sequestered.
(17:04):
They were obvious people. plants in that jury. They knew exactly,
and they weren't sequestered for whatever reason. No one even
asked them to be sequestered. It was just a travesty.
It was a travesty to me to see a jury
who was supposed to be on the honor system.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
What really bothered me is Clancy's defense attorney, and everyone's
entitled to a defense attorney, and I guess they can
be outspoken as they want, but for him to go
after the entire jury system and Um, it's an imperfect system,
but I can't think of a better one. And when
he said they know, meaning the other 11, uh, they
know they were robbed by one man. There were only
(17:44):
three men on the jury, uh, for, for, for whatever
his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life
of these other jurors. And then he, you know, charged
the holdout with hostility toward the disabled. Um, I mean, basically,
if this guy is found out, he's put a target
(18:04):
on this guy. And it's really so over the top
and so unprofessional. It is a total abandonment of restraint
and decency on his part.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You know, nothing surprises me with people anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I wish I could tell you I'm surprised, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No, you know what? I actually absolutely was surprised at
that because... you know, it's mob rules. You know what
I mean? Reddington said, basically, this guy's not playing ball.
He got a note. We don't know what the note says. Um,
something tells me that he may have been tipped off
by one of the jurors through a friend, through a friend,
through a friend that got to, that got to Reddington.
(18:46):
And that's when he went to the judge and said,
this guy's not playing ball. We have to appeal to
the Supreme court of Massachusetts who actually finally made a
good decision and said, no, the juror stays.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Um, You don't get to kick off the jurors that
you don't like. I mean, they have a jury selection process,
and that's the time that you make decisions about whether
or not people are qualified or not.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
That's it. And then you're stuck with whatever the verdict is.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Now, I also talked at length about the venue in
which this trial was being held, and we already have
an entirely new case already. And I told you this
would happen. The Lindsay Clancy defense is going to become
pretty commonplace. And, you know, to give you an example,
we had an Illinois mom was infatuated with Lindsay Clancy's trial,
(19:39):
accused now of killing her two-year-old son. Her attorney says
she was experiencing a psychotic episode when the tragedy unfolded.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I mean, so.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I'm just expect a ton of this because it's not
going to stop.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's going to keep going. It's going to keep happening.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And I'm just I want everyone in this audience to
know we told you ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Sean, I want everybody to know, too, like I said,
I was a police officer. Now, it's not like, yeah,
you were crazy. Well, I'll use the term crazy. You
were crazy, but you killed somebody. You go in jail.
It's not like that anymore. Everything is seen through the
lens of mental health. Okay? You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Is there anybody that's capable of killing someone that is not,
by definition, crazy?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Agreed. agreed if you kill somebody, there's got to be
something wrong with you. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
All right, let me, I got to get some other
calls in. Roman, you're dead on. I don't know what
the hell you're doing up in Massachusetts. You don't have
a single elected Republican up there, not one. And you
don't have, that's in Washington, meaning in the House or
the Senate. You don't even have, you have a governor
that just signed into law an abortion law where you
can have an abortion up to the moment of birth.
Nobody seems to care in Massachusetts. And, you know, knowing
(20:50):
that fact, you're dealing with a pretty left wing jury pool.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
None of this surprised me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I was warning people ahead of time, manage your expectations,
because I did not expect.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I didn't expect that. I didn't expect a conviction. I
just didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I mean, I thought at best you might get either manslaughter,
but that was a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I knew it was a long shot. Anyway, I appreciate you, man.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
800-941-SHAWN is our number. John is in Long Island, New York.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
What's up, John? How are you? Glad you called.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hi, Sean.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Thanks for taking the call. I was just wondering, you know,
this is the area that they just were awarded the
right to abort their children up to the day of birth.
And the women, when they won that right, or the
court awarded them that, They were applauding and cheering as
though they just won the lottery. I mean, is there
(21:45):
any value to life anymore? How are they going to
find a new jury if this is, you know, and
people say mental health, but it's not mental. If you
get smacked in the head with a baseball bat, then
you've got a mental problem. This is all emotional. And
everything today seems to be on how the way people feel.
I feel like I'm a woman. Well, today I feel
(22:07):
like I'm a man. I feel like killing my children.
You know, I don't want the hassle of, you know,
of going through motherhood or birth or whatever. And it's
just scary. I mean, there's no value today of life.
And today, unlike any other time in history, good is
(22:29):
clearly being called evil and evil is being called good.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I don't think that your moral compass is off, but,
you know, case in point, I've made the argument that
I don't think Lindsay Clancy should ever see the light
of day again. I think most people are familiar with
the Menendez case, and they were convicted in 1989, both
Eric and Lyle, of killing their parents and claiming the
killings initially were a mob hit. And they were 18
(22:56):
and 21, respectively, at the time. And the brothers' extravagant
spending in the wake of their parents' deaths drew a
lot of attention. Anyway, they're now, you know, they were
convicted of murdering their parents. They will get a chance
of parole. And I think the odds are pretty high
that they'll be walking the street again. And are they changed?
(23:16):
I have no idea. I can't read people's hearts or minds.
I'm not capable of that. I try to. But it is,
understand in 56 days, this is all related. No police,
no bail. You know, defund, dismantle, reimagine the police. I mean,
if you think things are bad in big cities and
small towns and blue cities and states around the country now,
(23:40):
it is going to be mob rule. And there's not
going to be much you can do about it until
they finally, hopefully, one day wake up and realize that
their decisions are pretty stupid. The best thing that people
can do is prevent any more of these DSA lunatics
from ever getting in power.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, am I a broken record? I'm a broken record
right now.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I will be for 56 more days until hopefully enough
of you understand the urgency of this moment and save
the country. Quick break, right back. More of your calls
coming up. Our toll-free number is 800-941-SHAWN if you want
to be a part of the program as we continue.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
The final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You do not want to miss it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the
Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
All right, back to our busy phones. It's toll free.
It's 800-941-SHAWN if you want to join us. All right,
let's go to Robert in Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Robert, hi. How are you? Glad you called.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
I'm great, Sean.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
How are you today?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I'm good, by the way.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
You know, your LSU coach is getting criticized for icing
Clemson and keeping him... for the full 90 minutes in
the locker room, and he ran up the score. I'm like,
their job is to win by the biggest margin possible.
If your team loses, that's not his fault.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
His job is to beat the other team.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
I do agree. If the other team had won, it
would be the same thing, just a shoe on a
different foot. But anyway, that's football. That's not what I'm
here for today. I have a question for you, if
you can answer it for me.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You bet.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
If you had one question you could ask an independent
voter in the United States right now, what would that
question be?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
What do you know about the, the 250 DSA members
that have been elected? And what do you know about
their stated agenda on their website? And I'd go through
every item. So it would be one question plus.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Yeah, I agree. And that, that's a big question. That's
a big question. There's a lot of information embedded in that.
And I don't keep up with all that because to
be honest with you, um, I'm almost 62 years old.
I am retired. I worked hard all my life. And
I've watched the Republicans and the Democrats go back and
forth and back and forth over the years. And I
(26:24):
can remember it from even when I was a child.
And it's to the point now where it's a big
firework show. Nobody's really doing anything that's constructive. I don't
feel like it's constructive other than President Trump. His ratings
are down right now, his approval ratings, I think. I
don't disapprove of the man's actions. He has a grand plan.
(26:45):
He's a very, very intelligent man. And some of these
people that are out here on the streets nowadays, it
seems like all they want to do is hold their
hand out and want something for nothing. Instead of holding
your hand out, you need to be putting your hands
on something. Learn a trade. Get away from the brainwashing
that comes from politics and go ahead and save this
(27:06):
nation because it's not a politician on either side. that's
going to save the country, it's going to be the people.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Do you agree?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Listen, it's going to be the people.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And, you know, the problem we have and what worries
me about 56 days from now is I think people
are so busy doing what you did your entire adult life,
which is working hard and taking care of their families
and going to church on Sunday and raising their kids
and obeying the laws and paying their taxes. You know,
(27:37):
it's Americans that make the country great. And what worries
me is I I think and it's not low information voters.
It is not enough people that understand the urgency of
the moment. There is a certain urgency that I feel
it's like a five alarm fire in my heart, my
(27:59):
mind and my soul about the danger.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
That would occur if these people take power.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And I'm telling you, I can I can say to
you right now, polls telling us that Republicans will hold
the Senate. There's a 67 percent chance Democrats would get
the House. I can give you all that. It's meaningless
to me because none of these people know how to
poll anyway. So let's be straight about it. I'm just saying,
you know, you have to treat this as if it
(28:27):
is a presidential election year and that the country is
on the ballot and the future for your children and grandchildren.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Is on the ballot. Now, if that sounds a little overdramatic,
take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I am not lying to you. That's all I'll tell you.
I know these people. I know what they're capable of.
I know what their real agenda is, and they mean it.
When people tell you they're going to do these things,
believe them. I'm not sure why people won't believe it. Anyway,
I appreciate your call, Robert.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a
part of the program. We've got so much more ground
to cover. Wait till you hear the next story we're
going to do at the top of the next hour.
I don't even want to tease it. I want you
to tune in and listen to it. Listen, I want
to talk directly to all of the great people in
this country, the people that work hard, play by the rules,
pay their taxes. And if you're a business owner, you're
(29:20):
one of those people. You're achieving your American dream, but
you just sacrificed a lot to get it. Look, you
built your business from the ground up early mornings, late nights, weekends.
You work day, you work nights, you're a worker and
you create jobs. You you work hard at your job,
whatever you're doing with your life. It's what makes the country.
as great as it is. You're living out the American dream.
(29:42):
It keeps America strong and you are the embodiment of
what freedom is all about. Sometimes then life gets in
your way. COVID, you know what? That can get in
the way of everybody's business and everybody's careers. And, you know, things,
you know, people, for example, if you own a business,
you fall behind on payroll taxes, what do you do? Well,
(30:03):
if you get one of those scary letters from the IRS,
and they are scary for most people, and they are
anxiety-producing for most people, when you get it, what have
we learned in the last decade from RushTaxResolution.com? Don't deal
with the IRS on your own. If you're a business owner,
they can shut down your business, come after you personally.
(30:25):
Don't risk everything you've worked so hard to build. They've
been doing this. They've been on this show for more
than a decade. I know them. There are a lot
of pretenders out there. Don't get burned by them. The
people at RushTaxResolution.com, they are the real deal. They're great
at what they do. For free, no consultation at all cost.
(30:46):
They will look over your situation. They'll only take your
case if they know they can help you.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Call toll-free.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It's 800-299-8077.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
800-299-8077. Or on the web, it's rushtaxresolution.com. And tell them
your friend Sean Hannity sent you.
Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show. Toll free, it is 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program,
only 56 days to the most important election. It's an
inflection point for America. I hope you're getting the importance
of it. There are people out there that just refuse
to understand how important and imperative it was to prevent
(00:21):
Iran from ever becoming a nuclear power. There are people
out there that will tell you they feel sorry for
you if you think radical Islam is a threat to
the United States. On Friday, it will be 25 years
since 9-11-01. And then New York City, it's rather ironic,
(00:44):
elected a radical mayor that won't even go to the
Israeli Day Parade, whose wife celebrated or at least approved
of the postings of people On social media, it's kind
of breathtaking to me that we're supportive of what happened
on October 7th. It would have been the equivalent of
(01:05):
40,000 dead Americans in a day. We lost 2,977 Americans
that day. Many others have died from 9-11-related illnesses and
the ensuing conflicts that took place to prevent more terror
attacks on our homeland. I mean, it's hard to wrap
my mind around the fact that we have to educate
(01:25):
people on this very topic. You think they remember? I
understand younger people that didn't live through it. We lived
through it, just like my parents lived through what happened
at Pearl Harbor. My father fought for four years in
the Pacific in World War II. My father never forgot
Pearl Harbor. That generation never forgot Pearl Harbor. Anyway, so
(01:45):
the controversy has now emerged about Mamdani. Zoran Marxist Kami Mamdani.
And there are people speaking out today. One woman named
Joanne Areola, New York City Councilwoman, saying that Mamdani should
should not show up for 9-11 for the ceremony because
he surrounds himself with people who think we deserve 9-11.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Mayor Mamdani has done everything he can to suck the
oxygen out of the room for this particular event we're
holding today. From performative signings of executive orders to an 8.30,
not planned in advance, release, that he's going to release
the information regarding the air quality down at 9-11 at
(02:34):
Ground Zero. What he's trying to do is deflect, as
he always does, from the real issue, which is that
he does not care about 9-11 or the tragedies that
took place because he surrounds himself with people who believe
(02:56):
that America deserved what it got. And he does not
disavow them. He does not step away from them. That's
really why you shouldn't be there. Other politicians will be there.
No one will speak. It is about the survivors. It
is about those who were murdered that day. But Mayor Mamdani,
(03:20):
he surrounds himself with people who say that if your
hands are dirty, you should wipe them on the flag.
He surrounds himself with people who have represented Al-Qaeda members
who took the lives of Americans. He doesn't understand that
(03:40):
the people standing behind me and the 101,000 people who
signed the petition feel that he is as much against
them as those terrorists were on the day they lost
their loved ones.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And here's another New York City councilwoman. This one is
named Vicky Palladino, demanding that Mondani not show up for
9-11 and the 9-11 ceremonies on Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Well, here we stand on the steps of City Hall,
25 years later. Who would have ever thought in a
million years that we would have a petition with 101,000
names on it of fellow New Yorkers standing on the
steps of City Hall asking for a mayor not to
(04:25):
attend the most tragic day in our nation's history that
happened to be right here in New York City.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
But we are.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Standing here and we are standing strong. I'm not asking
politely for the mayor not to come to 9-11, to
that ceremony. I am asking, I am demanding that he
not show his face at that sacred ground. He does
not belong there. When you associate yourself with the likes
(04:58):
of Hassan Paika, and you have as your chief counselor
right here in this building, Rasim Hassan, who was handed
a sacred pen yesterday, very cryptic, through our police commissioner
so that it could go into his hands. That was
(05:19):
a message to each and every one of us, cryptic.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
As it is, but read through the lines.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
What's going on here.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
In City Hall and what we got representing us here
in City Hall, they do not belong on sacred ground.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I could go through a list of.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Of people that he associates himself with and continues to
associate himself with. We, the people, do not care for
Zoran Mandati.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
All right, here with us now is Nicole Parker.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
She's the author of the bestseller, The Two FBIs, The
Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau.
She was working in the World Trade Financial Center on 9-11.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
She was there. She was very successful there.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
In the Wall Street world at the time, it became
a pivotal point in her life in the sense that
she saw what happened, she lived it, and it was
an inflection point. And then she turned her passion, her
work into getting into the FBI was one of very
(06:28):
few that applied that actually got accepted. And she wanted
to fight for the country that she loved. Unfortunately, she
dealt with an FBI that was weaponized and politicized under
James Comey. And that later led to her making a
tough decision to get out of this. Nicole Parker actually
texted her dad on 9-11-01 at 849 a.m. Dad, there
(06:52):
was just an explosion across at the World Trade Center.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I saw it. I'm fine. Nicole. And, you know, she,
you know, she she sees it firsthand.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I mean, I think everybody needs to stop and think
and reflect and become a little bit thoughtful and introspective
about about what it is that Donald Trump is doing
with Iran and why it's been necessary. Every single person
that knows, and I've gone over this with many, many
people many, many times, the people that saw the presidential
(07:24):
daily briefings, they said the president had no option.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
He had no choice.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Every other president before him said the words, Iran can
never have a nuclear weapon. And then JPCOA came along
and Barack Obama drops cargo planes full of cash and
other currencies. on the tarmac in Iran for the mullahs
of Iran.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It's insane. Anyway, Nicole Parker joins us now.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm sure it's a vivid memory for you.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
It is for me.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
The day that goes down as the worst day, obviously,
in United States history.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
But for those of us that witnessed it, it was
the most impactful day of my life.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
I was 23 years old at the time. And you're right,
I was working at Merrill Lynch. I used to walk
through the World Trade Center every morning for my commute.
I took the one train down to the Cortland Street
World Trade Center station. And I would exit at One
World Trade Center and.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I get emotional even thinking about it.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
I would walk through and then I would take the
escalator over the footbridge to the World Financial Center to
Merrill Lynch. I got there around 7.45 in the morning
was when I was in One World Trade Center about.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
One hour before that first plane hit that tower.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I went to my office. It was actually my brother's birthday.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It's on 9-11.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
It was the day of an election. I was getting
ready for the day, taking care of a few personal matters.
My boss at the time was Wynn Smith at Merrill Lynch.
He was the chairman of Merrill Lynch International. He was
in Japan. And I was just getting ready for the day.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
The next thing I know, my.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Colleague comes in a little earlier than normal. We're having
a conversation. And we all of a sudden heard the
loudest explosion I have ever heard in my life. And
I immediately stopped and I looked at her and we looked.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
At each other and we knew something was wrong.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
I immediately ran to the window and the North Tower
One World Trade Center was on fire, Sean. And it
was incomprehensible to me. I could not process what I
was seeing. It was the worst nightmare you could ever imagine.
And my first thought was there are people dying up there.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
We didn't know what it was. We didn't know that
it was an airplane. I just said, you know what,
there are people dying up there. This is terrible.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
And things continued to get worse. But that email that
I sent my father from my Merrill Lynch email account
is an important part of history and an artifact that
I will always hold on to.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
I was there. I saw it.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
And for those of us that lived this this is
not just about politics. This is not about mayors showing up.
This is a day of terror that changed us. And
you can never, ever unsee the images.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
That we saw. Because what happened at 846, Sean, was
just the beginning of.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Things continued to unravel. The South Tower was then hit.
And we knew at that point, we saw the plane
coming into the South Tower and we knew this was
not an accident. We are under attack. And I, at
that point, I'm like, I got to get out of here. Like,
I don't know what everyone else here at Maryland is
going to do, but something in my heart was like, Nicole,
you need to get out of here. Originally, people were like,
(10:38):
stay put where you are. It's safer inside the building.
There's tons of debris outside.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And something in my soul was like, Nicole, you need
to get out.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And I followed several of my coworkers. Again, I'm from Texas,
23 years old. I could not wrap my head around
what I was seeing. It just seemed like a terrible nightmare.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
And it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
It was real. And no matter how many times I
tried to tell myself, this is not happening. Sean, I
witnessed the battle between good and evil right before my eyes.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
It's not something that.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
You just read about. This is literal.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
And I felt evil all around me. And there were
people dying. And we could see them. They had no
better option, whether they, I think some of them chose
to jump, probably. Some of them, I think, they were
literally holding onto the side of the World Trade Center,
and they probably slipped. But jumping was their.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I think they jumped because they were about to burn
to death, and they thought that was the quicker way out.
And I don't fault them one bit for that decision.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, it was over. And they just saw the
truth for what it was.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
And when they were coming down, they would come down, Sean,
they crashed.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
To the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It was terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
My friends that were there on the ground at the time,
you know, described it to me. And it is not
something you're ever going to forget and something that you
can ever erase from your memory ever, ever, ever.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Until the day I die. And you know what? That
is why I am so strong and never forgetting.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
That is why I walked away from finance, Sean. I
worked at a multi-billion dollar hedge.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Fund and I made a vow on 9-11 as I
was exiting my building.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
I had a spiritual moment and I knew in my heart,
I had this feeling and it was me introspectively saying, Nicole,
if you die today, are you ready to die? Are
you prepared to meet your maker? Because none of those
people in that World Trade Center building, they did not
think that they were going to be vaporized by an
airplane when they went to work that day.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
And it does.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
It makes you think, am I ready to die? What
have I done with my life?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What have I done?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
And at that moment, I said, you know what? One day,
I will give back. I will serve my country. I
will give back.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
And I will stand as a witness of God. And
I will stand as a witness of truth.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And I did the best that I could.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
It was in 2009. I started my application process.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
To the FBI. I was accepted.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
In 2010, I started at Quantico. I went to training.
And that is what I did in my effort to keep.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
That vow that I made on 9-11 to give back.
Because you know who saved us, Sean? It was NYPD.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
It was the Port Authority Police Department.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It was FDNY.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
All of us, thousands of us were looking up.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
We weren't moving because we were in shock.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
It was NYPD that said, get away from the buildings.
Get away from the towers.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
You've got to keep moving.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Move, move, move.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
I'll tell you, I stood for a long time, me
and my coworkers. And then my coworker, Mark Colori, I'm still.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Friends with these people. He said, I have a strong
feeling we need to get off this island. We've got
to get off the island.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
We were near the Winter Garden at this point at
the World Financial Center. We had nowhere else to go.
We got onto a ferry. I ended up going to
New Jersey. I ended up going to Connecticut.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Later that night.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I didn't return back to my home in New York
City for five days, Sean, five days.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Well, I'll tell you, we're not going to forget this
week and later in this program, Michael W. Smith, There
she stands. He did a new version of it and
we'll show it Friday night on television. But I'm telling you,
for those people that don't understand the importance of this
and we'll get into why. I mean, I know Mamdani
is promising to go. He's not wanted there. We'll see
(14:06):
how the reaction is. You know, people are mad at
President Trump because he's going to the Pentagon. The Pentagon
also got hit that day. You can't be in three
locations at one time. And he's and if you go
back to President Trump at the time when he was
just Donald Trump. and he was helping the people out
there on the ground from day one. So it's just,
(14:26):
you know, everybody just looks for something to hate him about. Nicole,
you have done all that good that you would hope
for and more, and we still appreciate your voice. It's
more important now than ever. Thank you for being with us.
All right, 800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to
be a part of the program. All right, let's get
to our busy telephones here. Let's say hi to Roman.
(14:48):
Roman is in Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Roman, hi. How are you? Glad you called. Hope you
had a great Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hey, Sean. Good to talk to you. I did. I
had a great weekend. Thank you very much. I hope
you did, too. I wanted to talk today about... The
moral degradation. I would love to talk about 9-11 and,
you know, we've got a lot of anniversaries coming up,
bad ones. 9-11 and then Charlie's anniversary coming up. But
(15:13):
I really want to talk about Lindsey Clancy and the
moral degradation that's happening to the progressive left. We had
12 jurors. Eleven cowards, okay? Nine of them were women
who basically felt with their feelings and two men who
(15:34):
were deathly afraid of all those women, cowards. And one
man who stood up and spoke for the children and said,
this cannot stand. The buck ends with me. I am
not backing down. Bravo to you, sir. To withstand, I
can only imagine the pressure that he was under. I've
been a police officer for 30 years, Sean. I know
(15:57):
what the ins and outs of courts, and I've been
involved in trials and all that. And women fought for
100 years. Well, they fought to get the right to vote.
And now they are fighting for the right to be
able to kill your children. And they are fighting for
the right to be able to terminate a nine-month pregnancy,
(16:20):
which just happened in Massachusetts a couple weeks ago. And
they're cheering about it. And this is a dark day
for women's rights. It really is, because I do believe
women can do anything men can do. But the progressive
left has gone... That courthouse in Plymouth was... It's a
(16:42):
big building, and it's got a big parking lot. There
was hundreds, if not thousands, of women with signs, you know,
just rallying, but it looked like an organized mob. They
were all wearing pink. Two jurors went into the courthouse,
jurors wearing pink. A judge said nothing. The jury wasn't sequestered.
(17:04):
They were obvious people. plants in that jury. They knew exactly,
and they weren't sequestered for whatever reason. No one even
asked them to be sequestered. It was just a travesty.
It was a travesty to me to see a jury
who was supposed to be on the honor system.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
What really bothered me is Clancy's defense attorney, and everyone's
entitled to a defense attorney, and I guess they can
be outspoken as they want, but for him to go
after the entire jury system and Um, it's an imperfect system,
but I can't think of a better one. And when
he said they know, meaning the other 11, uh, they
know they were robbed by one man. There were only
(17:44):
three men on the jury, uh, for, for, for whatever
his agenda was, who stole seven weeks of the life
of these other jurors. And then he, you know, charged
the holdout with hostility toward the disabled. Um, I mean, basically,
if this guy is found out, he's put a target
(18:04):
on this guy. And it's really so over the top
and so unprofessional. It is a total abandonment of restraint
and decency on his part.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
You know, nothing surprises me with people anymore.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I wish I could tell you I'm surprised, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
No, you know what? I actually absolutely was surprised at
that because... you know, it's mob rules. You know what
I mean? Reddington said, basically, this guy's not playing ball.
He got a note. We don't know what the note says. Um,
something tells me that he may have been tipped off
by one of the jurors through a friend, through a friend,
through a friend that got to, that got to Reddington.
(18:46):
And that's when he went to the judge and said,
this guy's not playing ball. We have to appeal to
the Supreme court of Massachusetts who actually finally made a
good decision and said, no, the juror stays.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Um, You don't get to kick off the jurors that
you don't like. I mean, they have a jury selection process,
and that's the time that you make decisions about whether
or not people are qualified or not.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
That's it. And then you're stuck with whatever the verdict is.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Now, I also talked at length about the venue in
which this trial was being held, and we already have
an entirely new case already. And I told you this
would happen. The Lindsay Clancy defense is going to become
pretty commonplace. And, you know, to give you an example,
we had an Illinois mom was infatuated with Lindsay Clancy's trial,
(19:39):
accused now of killing her two-year-old son. Her attorney says
she was experiencing a psychotic episode when the tragedy unfolded.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I mean, so.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I'm just expect a ton of this because it's not
going to stop.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's going to keep going. It's going to keep happening.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And I'm just I want everyone in this audience to
know we told you ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Sean, I want everybody to know, too, like I said,
I was a police officer. Now, it's not like, yeah,
you were crazy. Well, I'll use the term crazy. You
were crazy, but you killed somebody. You go in jail.
It's not like that anymore. Everything is seen through the
lens of mental health. Okay? You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Is there anybody that's capable of killing someone that is not,
by definition, crazy?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Agreed. agreed if you kill somebody, there's got to be
something wrong with you. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
All right, let me, I got to get some other
calls in. Roman, you're dead on. I don't know what
the hell you're doing up in Massachusetts. You don't have
a single elected Republican up there, not one. And you
don't have, that's in Washington, meaning in the House or
the Senate. You don't even have, you have a governor
that just signed into law an abortion law where you
can have an abortion up to the moment of birth.
Nobody seems to care in Massachusetts. And, you know, knowing
(20:50):
that fact, you're dealing with a pretty left wing jury pool.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
None of this surprised me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I was warning people ahead of time, manage your expectations,
because I did not expect.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I didn't expect that. I didn't expect a conviction. I
just didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I mean, I thought at best you might get either manslaughter,
but that was a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I knew it was a long shot. Anyway, I appreciate you, man.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
800-941-SHAWN is our number. John is in Long Island, New York.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
What's up, John? How are you? Glad you called.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hi, Sean.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Thanks for taking the call. I was just wondering, you know,
this is the area that they just were awarded the
right to abort their children up to the day of birth.
And the women, when they won that right, or the
court awarded them that, They were applauding and cheering as
though they just won the lottery. I mean, is there
(21:45):
any value to life anymore? How are they going to
find a new jury if this is, you know, and
people say mental health, but it's not mental. If you
get smacked in the head with a baseball bat, then
you've got a mental problem. This is all emotional. And
everything today seems to be on how the way people feel.
I feel like I'm a woman. Well, today I feel
(22:07):
like I'm a man. I feel like killing my children.
You know, I don't want the hassle of, you know,
of going through motherhood or birth or whatever. And it's
just scary. I mean, there's no value today of life.
And today, unlike any other time in history, good is
(22:29):
clearly being called evil and evil is being called good.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I don't think that your moral compass is off, but,
you know, case in point, I've made the argument that
I don't think Lindsay Clancy should ever see the light
of day again. I think most people are familiar with
the Menendez case, and they were convicted in 1989, both
Eric and Lyle, of killing their parents and claiming the
killings initially were a mob hit. And they were 18
(22:56):
and 21, respectively, at the time. And the brothers' extravagant
spending in the wake of their parents' deaths drew a
lot of attention. Anyway, they're now, you know, they were
convicted of murdering their parents. They will get a chance
of parole. And I think the odds are pretty high
that they'll be walking the street again. And are they changed?
(23:16):
I have no idea. I can't read people's hearts or minds.
I'm not capable of that. I try to. But it is,
understand in 56 days, this is all related. No police,
no bail. You know, defund, dismantle, reimagine the police. I mean,
if you think things are bad in big cities and
small towns and blue cities and states around the country now,
(23:40):
it is going to be mob rule. And there's not
going to be much you can do about it until
they finally, hopefully, one day wake up and realize that
their decisions are pretty stupid. The best thing that people
can do is prevent any more of these DSA lunatics
from ever getting in power.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, am I a broken record? I'm a broken record
right now.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I will be for 56 more days until hopefully enough
of you understand the urgency of this moment and save
the country. Quick break, right back. More of your calls
coming up. Our toll-free number is 800-941-SHAWN if you want
to be a part of the program as we continue.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
The final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You do not want to miss it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the
Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
All right, back to our busy phones. It's toll free.
It's 800-941-SHAWN if you want to join us. All right,
let's go to Robert in Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Robert, hi. How are you? Glad you called.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
I'm great, Sean.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
How are you today?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
I'm good, by the way.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
You know, your LSU coach is getting criticized for icing
Clemson and keeping him... for the full 90 minutes in
the locker room, and he ran up the score. I'm like,
their job is to win by the biggest margin possible.
If your team loses, that's not his fault.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
His job is to beat the other team.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
I do agree. If the other team had won, it
would be the same thing, just a shoe on a
different foot. But anyway, that's football. That's not what I'm
here for today. I have a question for you, if
you can answer it for me.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You bet.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
If you had one question you could ask an independent
voter in the United States right now, what would that
question be?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
What do you know about the, the 250 DSA members
that have been elected? And what do you know about
their stated agenda on their website? And I'd go through
every item. So it would be one question plus.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Yeah, I agree. And that, that's a big question. That's
a big question. There's a lot of information embedded in that.
And I don't keep up with all that because to
be honest with you, um, I'm almost 62 years old.
I am retired. I worked hard all my life. And
I've watched the Republicans and the Democrats go back and
forth and back and forth over the years. And I
(26:24):
can remember it from even when I was a child.
And it's to the point now where it's a big
firework show. Nobody's really doing anything that's constructive. I don't
feel like it's constructive other than President Trump. His ratings
are down right now, his approval ratings, I think. I
don't disapprove of the man's actions. He has a grand plan.
(26:45):
He's a very, very intelligent man. And some of these
people that are out here on the streets nowadays, it
seems like all they want to do is hold their
hand out and want something for nothing. Instead of holding
your hand out, you need to be putting your hands
on something. Learn a trade. Get away from the brainwashing
that comes from politics and go ahead and save this
(27:06):
nation because it's not a politician on either side. that's
going to save the country, it's going to be the people.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Do you agree?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Listen, it's going to be the people.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And, you know, the problem we have and what worries
me about 56 days from now is I think people
are so busy doing what you did your entire adult life,
which is working hard and taking care of their families
and going to church on Sunday and raising their kids
and obeying the laws and paying their taxes. You know,
(27:37):
it's Americans that make the country great. And what worries
me is I I think and it's not low information voters.
It is not enough people that understand the urgency of
the moment. There is a certain urgency that I feel
it's like a five alarm fire in my heart, my
(27:59):
mind and my soul about the danger.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
That would occur if these people take power.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And I'm telling you, I can I can say to
you right now, polls telling us that Republicans will hold
the Senate. There's a 67 percent chance Democrats would get
the House. I can give you all that. It's meaningless
to me because none of these people know how to
poll anyway. So let's be straight about it. I'm just saying,
you know, you have to treat this as if it
(28:27):
is a presidential election year and that the country is
on the ballot and the future for your children and grandchildren.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Is on the ballot. Now, if that sounds a little overdramatic,
take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I am not lying to you. That's all I'll tell you.
I know these people. I know what they're capable of.
I know what their real agenda is, and they mean it.
When people tell you they're going to do these things,
believe them. I'm not sure why people won't believe it. Anyway,
I appreciate your call, Robert.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a
part of the program. We've got so much more ground
to cover. Wait till you hear the next story we're
going to do at the top of the next hour.
I don't even want to tease it. I want you
to tune in and listen to it. Listen, I want
to talk directly to all of the great people in
this country, the people that work hard, play by the rules,
pay their taxes. And if you're a business owner, you're
(29:20):
one of those people. You're achieving your American dream, but
you just sacrificed a lot to get it. Look, you
built your business from the ground up early mornings, late nights, weekends.
You work day, you work nights, you're a worker and
you create jobs. You you work hard at your job,
whatever you're doing with your life. It's what makes the country.
as great as it is. You're living out the American dream.
(29:42):
It keeps America strong and you are the embodiment of
what freedom is all about. Sometimes then life gets in
your way. COVID, you know what? That can get in
the way of everybody's business and everybody's careers. And, you know, things,
you know, people, for example, if you own a business,
you fall behind on payroll taxes, what do you do? Well,
(30:03):
if you get one of those scary letters from the IRS,
and they are scary for most people, and they are
anxiety-producing for most people, when you get it, what have
we learned in the last decade from RushTaxResolution.com? Don't deal
with the IRS on your own. If you're a business owner,
they can shut down your business, come after you personally.
(30:25):
Don't risk everything you've worked so hard to build. They've
been doing this. They've been on this show for more
than a decade. I know them. There are a lot
of pretenders out there. Don't get burned by them. The
people at RushTaxResolution.com, they are the real deal. They're great
at what they do. For free, no consultation at all cost.
(30:46):
They will look over your situation. They'll only take your
case if they know they can help you.
