With just 35 days until Election Day, Sean argues that the midterms are no time for political purity tests. He lays out what he sees as the stakes in races across Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Florida, Michigan and beyond, contrasting Republican candidates with the policies and rhetoric of their Democratic opponents. Sean also challenges James Talarico’s use of Christianity to support his political positions and explains why he believes dissatisfied Republican voters should settle their differences during primaries rather than sit out the general election. 092926 HR 1.mp3

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So here we are, 35 days out of, I think,
the single most important midterm we've ever faced. It's an
inflection point for the country. I've been trying to convey
a sense of urgency to you, my wonderful audience here.
I want to just tell you with the highest degree
of confidence, there is enough people in this audience on 700, what,
(00:25):
60 stations strong and podcasted, et cetera. We're everywhere. that
can change the outcome of this election. Reince Priebus has
been saying that he thinks 100,000 votes may separate the
balance of power in both the House and the Senate.
I don't know. I just know that the polling in
this cycle has been atrocious, as evidenced by Abdul El-Sayed
(00:48):
in Michigan. He was supposed to win by 20 points.
He barely won by a point. Or Francesca Hong. She
had one poll like the week of the election or
just before the weekend before you know, where she was
up 30, is up between 20 and 30 points, lost
the race by 3,000. I don't know how the polling
can be that atrocious. But if everybody has the same mindset,
(01:11):
which is assume that your vote is going to be
the determining vote for your congressional seat, be it congressman, congresswoman,
your gubernatorial race, our friend Greg Abbott, we got to
take care of him in Texas. He's been a great
governor for Texas. Ken Paxton, we'll talk about him in
a second and Telefrico. And I'm just telling you, you've
(01:33):
got to take these races seriously. Assume that your vote matters.
And I'm talking about my free state of Florida. I mean,
if I look at polls, it gets a little chilling.
It's like you got to be kidding me. I don't
trust them, which is why I'm not sharing them with you.
I think they have a psychological impact on turnout. I
(01:56):
think people, they either get deflated or they get over-exuberant.
And I don't want anybody feeling that way. I want
everyone to feel as if their vote matters. And then
there's a group of people out there, I don't know,
they have whatever purity test that they may have, and
you people probably scare me the most. What do I
mean by that? It means that if, let's say, you're
(02:20):
a congressman or woman, Is not the best. And this
is the ongoing conversation we've been having on the program.
And let's just call it what it is. Let's say
they're weak Republicans. Let's say they're rhinos. I don't like
them either. I'm not fond of many of them. However,
I don't know one of them that would eliminate the U.S. Senate,
(02:42):
eliminate your ability to choose the president, that would pack
the courts, that wants amnesty for illegals, wants to abolish
the borders, abolish ICE, end all deportation. I don't know
one Republican that's standing on that platform. Every Republican I
know running. And, you know, let's start with the basics.
They all support securing our borders. Okay, that's important. Otherwise,
(03:05):
we're going to become Western Europe. You know, I never thought,
you know, unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. How's that worked
out in Western Europe? Well, 100 Sharia courts in Great Britain,
no-go zones all over Europe. And it's almost like... This
model that the radicalized Democratic Party has taken on, you know,
(03:25):
has now been tried all over Europe and its results
have been catastrophic. I mean, we saw this this thwarted
terror attempt. You know, why would you allow unfettered illegal
immigration and not demand assimilation? No go zones in France
and elsewhere. Sharia courts in Great Britain. Never thought I'd
(03:45):
see that or we'd be discussing it. But they also
adopted climate alarmism to the tune of wasting trillions of
dollars combined. They have adopted radical socialism. It always fails.
This is what this is what the radical left now
wants to do in this country vis-a-vis the DSA, Democratic
Socialists of America. They are the power base. Don't let
(04:07):
anybody fool you in this country. You know, if you
if you have Democrats that are saying they're going to
be more moderate, which, by the way, is now the
new tactic that they've taken on. They realize that eliminating
the Senate and packing the courts and amnesty for illegals
and abolishing borders and ICE and ending deportation. Can you
imagine the stupidity of wanting to defund the Department of War,
(04:30):
eliminating cash bail, abolishing prisons, abolishing the police? The idea
that government is going to take over the ownership of
most corporations? this insane cradle to grave, womb to the tomb,
government guaranteed daycare, government guaranteed date night babysitters, government guaranteed jobs,
(04:50):
guaranteed government salaries, and guaranteed government healthy food. Good grief.
That just takes our constitution, the notion that rights are
endowed to us by our creator, and governments are established
to protect those natural rights that are God-given. And, you know,
(05:11):
in the process, you give up all liberty, all freedom
in the name of false security because they never can
fulfill the price tag of the Green New Deal. What
is it? Two hundred and ten trillion dollars. I mean,
we can't afford any of this, nor does government run
anything well, as evidenced by your government schools, by Obamacare
and the Social Security lockbox. What is government doing so
(05:33):
well except for the Department of War? And even that
is too expensive at times, and they misappropriate money. And
they want to wealth tax and punish success and disincentivize
people from being creators and innovators. The great thing about
liberty and freedom is it is a true meritocracy in life.
(05:54):
And by the way, the rich do pay their fair share.
The top 1% pay about 50% of the taxes. The
top 10% pay about 80%. The bottom 50% of wage
earners pay about 1% of the tax base in this
country when it comes to income taxes. But under Donald Trump,
we see that poverty, especially for minorities, Hispanic Americans, African Americans,
(06:18):
Native Americans, is now at an all-time low. Incomes for
the lowest 25% is now at the highest level ever.
Median income rose to $ 87, 600. That is the most ever.
You've seen 80 plus records in the stock market. OK,
if you have an IRA, you have a 401k, that
(06:38):
that means your retirement money is is growing by leaps
and bounds. There's not a single Republican that supports this
insane agenda. So start with the basics. Most Republicans, about 98,
99 percent of them, you know, supported the largest tax
cut in history. They supported secure borders. They don't want
(06:59):
biological men playing women's sports. You know, again, start with
the fundamentals. They believe in law and order and safety
and security. They're not defund, dismantle, no bail, abolish prisons, insanity.
So there's a lot on the line for everybody. So
if you have this purity test and you say, well,
(07:19):
I don't particularly love this candidate or that candidate, I
probably would agree with you based on their record. But
that's not what's on the ballot here. It's bigger than that.
And I think people need to see the bigger picture.
That's my humble opinion. But you do what you want.
But there are enough people listening to this show that
can make the difference and we can decide the outcome
(07:42):
of a lot of these races. and save our country
for our kids and our grandkids. I mean, we inherited
a better country from our parents because of their sacrifice.
My dad fought in World War II, four years in
the Pacific. Didn't exactly love it. Grew up dirt poor,
like my mother grew up dirt poor. And I know
that any success I have in life is because I
(08:03):
stand on their shoulders. They stand on their parents' shoulders.
All four of my grandparents came from Ireland. And now
we owe it to the next generation to leave this
country alive in better shape than that which we found it.
And this is now our opportunity. You know, I never thought,
and we'll have Ken Paxton on the show and Darlene
Graham on the show. I'm not taking any of these
(08:24):
races for granted. I'm not taking the free state of
Florida for granted. I'm not taking South Carolina for granted.
Here you got a guy in Kansas running on a
platform that we should repent and stop eating meat and
repent for using automobiles. And that's the Democratic candidate against
Roger Marshall who, In the state of Kansas, this is insanity.
(08:46):
And by the way, also a cattle state, or a
six-gender Tallarico, or Talafrico, whatever you want to call them,
whatever you prefer. You know, this guy, you know, everything
now is on biblical grounds. We'll get into this later
with Ken Paxton in more detail, but the Bible that
I read on biblical grounds talks about Jesus, the only
(09:07):
begotten Son of God, the Father in heaven, that sacrificed
his life so that we can reconcile with God the Father,
the ultimate sacrifice, and was beaten and humiliated and hung
from a cross and did so voluntarily as the ultimate
sacrifice to reconcile mankind to God. If you believe that,
this guy's throwing Jesus around and God around and biblical grounds.
(09:30):
I don't remember God or Jesus, God the Father's Son
that he sent to earth for our reconciliation. and to
save us from our sins. We've all sinned and fallen short.
I don't remember him teaching a prayer to his disciples
that started with, our non-binary. Don't recall that. I remember
(09:52):
our father. I think it's very clear what he was saying.
I've read the book of Genesis many times, and God
created us. man and women, not six genders. And the
idea that Telefrico thinks he can now, oh, in the
last week and a half, two weeks, change his opinion. Oh,
I didn't really mean that. Oh, my math was wrong. Oh,
I misspoke. Now he's lecturing us. Let me play this cut.
(10:15):
He says, when I fight for universal health care, I'm
doing it on biblical grounds. Well, on biblical grounds, Jesus
taught us that the Lord's Prayer, I think the most
important prayer, because it came right from Jesus' mouth to
his disciples, starts with the words, Our Father. So we'll
argue that on biblical grounds. And I'll argue on biblical
grounds that Adam and Eve were the creations of God.
(10:41):
And this guy wants biological men and women sports in
the state of Texas. He's running a vegan campaign in
a cattle state of Texas. He doesn't want any drilling
for oil in the oil state of Texas. I mean,
this guy is so out of touch, and he's using
Jesus and the Bible to push this message, which I find, frankly,
very offensive. Listen.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
When Jesus healed the sick, he didn't ask for a deductible.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So... So when I fight.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
For universal health care, I'm doing it on biblical grounds.
When Jesus fed the hungry, he didn't price gouge to
turn a profit. So when I say that no child
in the state of Texas should go to bed hungry,
I'm doing it on biblical grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And when the.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Hebrew prophets saw corruption in high places, they spoke truth
to power. So when I take on the politicians who
are serving themselves and not the people, I am doing
it on biblical grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
On biblical grounds, I remember the prayer starting with our father,
not six genders, not non-binary. I remember the creation of
man and women on biblical grounds. If we're going to
argue the Bible, I did study theology, Latin, went to
a seminary, I'm not saying I'm the best Christian in
the world, but an old thing or two about the Bible,
it's the most important thing in my life. My faith,
(12:07):
my belief in God the Father and Jesus his Son,
and this guy doesn't get to rewrite it and use
it as a political weapon without being challenged, especially on
the authenticity and interpretation of such when he's so off.
I mean, I can't believe it. I mentioned Kansas. Look
at Telefrico. You look at Abdul El-Sayed. We've covered him exhaustively.
(12:28):
You know, I'm looking at Darlene Graham who will join
us later in the show. I mean, running against a woman...
that literally claims, you know, said about the Save Women's
Sports Act that requiring public and private middle high school
teams and sports to be designated based on biological sex.
(12:49):
You know, she called the law shameful. This is a woman,
a pediatrician, nonetheless. I don't think she's practicing. One of
the most outspoken advocates in the country for gender affirming care,
supporting puberty blockers, hormone therapy. This is South Carolina. Telefrico
is from Texas. You know, you got this megachurch, you know,
(13:13):
preacher in Kansas, you know, repent for driving a car,
repent and stop and refrain from eating meat. These people
are nuts. You know, Darlene Gramsbury, this woman is out
there all over X. She's got a picture of herself.
Protect trans kids, you know, as a Latest 2023 on X.
(13:35):
It's the G.D. Mother effing guns. South Carolina. I'm taking
nothing for granted. And if you think that, well, well,
your candidate, the Democratic candidate in your state, I think
the perfect example would be Sherrod Brown in Ohio. He's
a phony or John Ossoff in Georgia. They they may
not be running on the DSA, but they will not
(13:57):
challenge them. I promise you, as evidenced by the only
one that's been willing to challenge this radicalism in the
Democratic Party that is elected is John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
(14:20):
I've even convinced Linda at this point that purity tests
don't apply here. It's too important. I mean, if you
love this country, you just have to accept that there
are going to be imperfect Republicans, but they're not crazy.
They're not DSA people. They're not open borders people. They're
(14:42):
not higher taxes. Well, there's a couple, but generally speaking,
they're not DSA people. Defund the police, wide open borders,
higher taxes. No, that's not them. There's a lot to,
you know, biological men playing women's sports. Start there. All right,
quick break. Right back.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
25 years of stories, laughter, late nights and early mornings.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And he says it never gets old.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Thank you, Sean Hannity, for 25 great years.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Thanks to all of you. 25 now till the top
of the hour. 800-941-SEAN if you want to be part
of the program. So, Linda, I was asked today, USA
Today doing a profile on me. And by the end
of the interview... He goes, well, I wrote this question,
but I kind of got the answer. You think you'll
ever retire? And I'm like, you know, no. When God
(16:08):
makes me retire.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Should we have a real conversation about how many times
we've had that conversation?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, but I just, you know.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
You're never retiring.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Why do people want to know that?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm going to bury you with this microphone. I'm literally
going to take the swing arm and put it in
the casket and put it in your mausoleum.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You put it in the casket and the mausoleum?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
In fact, I might just set the whole studio up
in the mausoleum. So if at some point you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Want to talk to us from beyond. I'm going to
change my will, by the way. I don't even want
to have a memorial service.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Why not? I got a whole thing planned. It's going
to be great.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Are you going to make it funny?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Of course I'm going to make it funny.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm Irish.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're not going to cry?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
We don't have feelings. We're Irish.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, when you go to an Irish wake... There's groups
of people. There's no right or wrong way to mourn somebody.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The brandy drinkers, the vodka drinkers.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, no. It would be the Irish whiskey drinkers. No,
there's one. Well, there is that group of people. They
do it. Oh, there's a shout to Joey. Joey, Brian. Brian,
my man. My love.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then you got the whalers. You know, they just
cry the whole time. Then you got the ins and
out people. They cry. They laugh. They cry. They laugh.
And then you got the ones I can't handle. And
we've talked about this before. The people that go up
and awake in an open casket, which I think is
the dumbest idea ever. I want to be remembered for
(17:25):
who I am. Put me in the box and close it.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
What's the difference? You wear makeup in real life. You
wear makeup when you're dead. What's the difference?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I have to for television. Don't blame me for that.
It's always hard explaining to my kids why their dad
wears makeup for TV.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Why is daddy powdering his nose?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Because if you don't on TV, you look like a ghost.
There's the answer.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
No, you look shiny.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You look like a ghost. You just do. It's the
way the lighting is, et cetera, et cetera. But the
people that go up to the casket, the open casket,
and they touch and they hold the hand of the
dead person and they kiss the dead person. It freaks
me out. You disclosed on this program, you're one of
(18:11):
those creepy people. That is creepy. Yes. That is so creepy.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It's not creepy. It's called weird.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
You should know of all people you went to seminary,
you know, practicing Catholics. That's what we do. We go
up during the wake.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
We kneel. We typically do in our father or him married.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And I don't want to look at a dead body.
I want to remember the problem is when I was
a kid and I went to a wake for the
first time for my uncle, Bob, I was like seven
years old. And I just, I never got that image
out of my head.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
What image?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Of him laying in the casket. That's my, that's my
main memory of him, him in the casket.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
You have no living memories of him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I have them, but they're buried much deeper than the pic,
the image of him laying in the casket dead. I'd
have a stroke.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Sounds like a you problem.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
No, it's not a you, me problem. I didn't want
to touch a dead body. Don't, look, don't reverse this
on me. You're the weirdo that wants to touch and
kiss a dead body.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
First of all, I didn't say I wanted to touch it.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But you do do it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
If I'm out awake, I'm going to go up. I'm
going to kneel.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Kneel.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And I'm going to pay my respects.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's normal.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is where it gets weird.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Okay, take it easy. When it's like, you know, like
my grandmother, my.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Grandfather, somebody who's, you know, like my mama.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
My papa, it was very sad. I'm definitely probably like
my mama, you know, she had a rosary in her
hands and I touched the rosary in her hands. And
I will say it's sad because it's cold and you
know their spirits moved on.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The rosary was cold or you touched the hand?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Everything was cold. It was just cold. But, you know,
it's sad.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Okay, so you've touched dead bodies and you've kissed dead bodies.
True or false?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It's a true statement.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Weird. That's very strange. That's very bizarre to me.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Listen. To each his own.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I digress. You know, there's a part of me getting
excited about... Look, in 35 days, you're either going to
be jazzed because Donald Trump and Republicans will shock the world.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Or.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
you're going to be, oh no, what just happened?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Look at that text I just sent you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So we had a list. Did you see it? Yeah,
I'm going to get to that.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Well done, right?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, very well done. So it's either going to be
Fox News can project that Republicans have held the majority
in the House of Representatives and they have even gained
their majority in the Senate. That could happen. Or it's
going to be Fox News can project that That the DSA,
(20:37):
they won't say it this way, but, you know, the
Democratic Party now has control and a majority in the
House and, God forbid, the Senate. That could happen. So understand,
what do you want to hear 35 nights from now?
Because it's game time. I personally would love to hear
(20:59):
Fox News can now project Republicans have held their majority
in the House and the Senate. and they've gained on
their majority. Now, it goes against historical trends. I am
not giving you false hope. I'm saying that you can
shock the world, and there's enough people listening to this
show every day to make the difference. We have on
(21:20):
our website to help inform you, because it's hard to
remember all the crazy DSA lists that's on their website.
So we have, as a public service, you can download
it from my website, carry it in your pocket, All
of Donald Trump's and the Republicans, as weak as some
of them are, they've accomplished a lot. And not as
(21:41):
much as I want. No, I want the SAVE Act.
I still want it. We have a bigger majority. Maybe
we can get it done. You know what? But he
secured the borders. Largest tax cut in history. Iran will
never have a nuclear weapon. He doesn't get enough credit
for that. And we're going to get to that in
a second. I want to remind you, you need a
safety security strategy. In some cases, somebody wants to kill you,
kill your family. Well, only one option will work in
(22:02):
that case. And that is the lethal option. But the
FBI tells us the last year they have statistics for it,
that's 2022. That's only 0.01% of the time. Now, that's
where Berner comes in. B-Y-R-N-A dot com, where they come in.
Please look at their videos online. I mean, you don't
need a permit. You don't need a background check. It's
legal in all 50 states. These launchers have powerful deterrence,
(22:26):
tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds. You can hit a
target as far as 60 feet away. One shot. You'll
see this on the video. B-Y-R-N-A dot com. One shot
can incapacitate any attacker for up to 40 minutes. Gives
you time to escape. And when you see the pros
adopting a technology, you should pay attention. And by the pros,
(22:46):
I mean over 500 government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
By the way, all hand assembled, Fort Wayne, Indiana. You're
going to love this technology. Now, they keep improving their technology.
If you own one of the older models like the SD,
you can upgrade to the CL or the CLXL. And
it's really simple. One, two, three. Order a prepaid return kit, $ 19. 99.
(23:10):
Ship your SD back to Burner. And then receive $ 150
coupon in one to three days, and you can upgrade
to the CL XL. It means more power, greater muscle velocity,
lighter weight, more magazine options. It's very easy to conceal carry.
I do it every day. Anyway, byrna.com. This technology works.
(23:30):
You're going to want it if that God forbid moment
comes for you and for your family. So what Linda
was referring to here, I think is very interesting. And
she got a note from a listener saying, We have,
I think, the smartest audience out there. You know, it's interesting.
Liberals tune into the show because they want to know
(23:51):
what is the enemy thinking. They view us as the enemy.
They also know that our arguments are effective and they
want to be able to counter. I have been informed
by Democrats that they are told to watch my show
and to listen to this radio show to learn how
to deal with, you know, conservatives like myself. Well, I
(24:13):
find that pretty interesting. Anyway, this is from a listener
to the show. Linda, how you doing? Love listening to
you guys. Somewhere on social media, I saw someone complain
about gas prices, and a reply which really resonated with me,
and I thought was such an excellent point. The reply was,
if you don't like paying higher gas prices, and by
(24:34):
the way, that means Donald Trump will make sure that
your children and grandchildren don't inherit a world with a
nuclear-armed Iran, which I think is something that had to
be done. Every Democratic president said we need to do it.
They never had the courage to do it. Anyway, he said,
gas price reply, which really resonated with me and I
(24:55):
thought was such an excellent point, the reply. If you
don't like paying higher gas prices, wait until you have
to pay for everyone else's college tuition. I'm like, check
and mate. Whoever wrote this, you're a genius. I wish
I thought of it. To me, that puts all of
this in a great perspective. No one likes to pay
more at the gas pump. I get it. But you
(25:17):
consider the alternative. Listen, I'm not telling you to sell.
There is a time and a place to challenge rhino Republicans.
It's called the primary. I mean, Cassidy in Louisiana, John
Cornyn in Texas. Donald Trump challenged all these state legislators
in Indiana. They all got defeated because Donald Trump had
(25:38):
them primaried. And You know, there is a time and
a place to take on people that you don't think
live up to the standards that you want a conservative
or a Republican you're electing to stand up for. Now's
not the time. That moment has come and that moment
has gone. You might say, well, Hannity, why don't you
lead the charge? I try to stay out of primaries because,
number one, it gets too deep in the weeds. Number two,
(26:01):
it's a national show. Number three, I kind of leave
it up to individuals in their respective states and districts
to handle that stuff. It's up to you. except if
there's extreme cases, like I'm glad Tom Massey's out. There
are a few others that, you know, we could live
without also. But, you know, putting all that in perspective,
(26:22):
just think about that. You know, these people get their way.
They will defund, dismantle police departments. They will go ahead
with their no bail insanity. If they can, we saw
this in the Biden years, they'll go right back to
lying to you and open the borders. And, you know,
we'll have unfettered illegal immigration. And it will become Europe.
(26:43):
If they have their way, the new Green Deal, radical socialism,
radical climate alarmism will be adopted. Unfettered illegal immigration is
going to result in known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters,
other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, just like in
the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas years. It's all going to come back and
haunt us. And I'm just saying it's all preventable because
(27:05):
it's not as imperfect as they are, some of them.
There's some really great ones. But as imperfect as some
of them are, they're not that. Start there. If they're
willing to support and secure our borders and fund our
police departments and not defund our Department of War and
vote for tax cuts and not let biological men play
(27:28):
women's sports, let's start there. Because if you don't vote
for that person because they're not the perfect candidate for you,
you had your chance during a primary election. That that
moment has come and gone. You'll have another opportunity in
two years or six years. And but but don't elect Talafrico.
You know, don't vote against Roger Marshall in Kansas. You know,
(27:50):
don't elect this idiot, Sherrod Brown in Ohio. They're all
going to go with the dominant voice, which is the
DSA movement in the Democratic Party and their leadership. We
know who they are. It's AOC. It's the squad. It's
Mum Donnie. It's Pocahontas. It's Grandpa Bernie. It'll be Abdul
(28:10):
El-Sayed in Michigan if you don't elect Mike Rogers. You know,
we got to pay attention, help Dan Sullivan in Alaska.
It's an important race. This woman hinted in Iowa. You
got to help out our friend Governor Greg Abbott. They're
coming after him with hundreds of millions of dollars in
negative ads against him in Paxton. Maybe you say, well,
Paxton is not the perfect candidate. He's not for a
(28:31):
welcome mat at the border. He's not preaching six genders.
He's not preaching God is non-binary, not fighting for biological
men to play women's sports. I mean, you have a
clear choice option. I mean, there's never been a greater
choice election moment in our lifetime. Now, again, in 35 days,
you're going to hear words Fox News Channel can now project.
(28:55):
What do you want to hear after those words are uttered?
Because that's what's on the ballot in 35 days. 35
nights from now, what do you want to hear? And
make your choice and make it wisely. Here's my humble suggestion.
If all of you take it seriously, I guarantee you win.
(29:17):
I guarantee historical trends will be meaningless and we can
shock the world. By the way, Rasmussen poster I have
right now, they have the generic ballot. has mostly now
been cut in half in the last week. I think
all these polls you're going to see, they're trying to
deflate motivation and turnout. And I'm telling you not to
(29:39):
look at them. And it's nearly tied at this point.
But they have the if the elections for Congress were
held today, generic ballot is within the margin of error.
You know, you have one left wing House candidate, William Lawrence,
calling America an Adam Schiff whole country. Wow. I mean,
and then posted an upside down American flag. I mean,
(29:59):
you have all these friends of Hassan Piker, now Rom Rombo,
dead fish. By the way, he's agreed to come on
my podcast. That's going to be interesting. Yeah. He's now
expressing support for Abdul El-Sayed. Unbelievable. Jasmine Crockett snubbing James
Telefrico yet again, according to the Washington Sun. You have
(30:20):
ex-Trump officials campaign ad. You know, why are people mad
at Sarah Huckabee Sanders? She's a lovely person. And if
the ad wasn't perfect, I mean, for crying out loud,
can you just what why is this level of purity
that is existing out there? I'm like, there's not there's
no such thing as perfect. The Senate, by the way,
passed the Protect College Sports Act with a decisive vote.
(30:44):
Riley Gaines lawsuit against the NCAA dismissed by the Biden
appointed judge. Appeal is planned in that particular case. But
you got these radical left wing Democrats. They want power.
You got one House Democrat, Stephen Cohn, filed 26 articles
of impeachment against President Trump. You want to live through
two years of that hell? Because that's what it's going
to be. You know, if you want to know what
(31:08):
the Democrats plan to do after the midterms, they're telling you.
They're going to investigate, investigate, impeach, impeach, impeach, and stop
all progress to the degree that they possibly can. Want
to know what it's going to look like? Look at
Donnie's New York. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. It's it's all he wants
from President Trump is money. That's why he won't trash Trump.
(31:36):
This just breaking. Caleb Flynn guilty all charges killing his wife.
We have Darlene Graham. We have Ken Paxton coming up
on your calls. Eight hundred nine four one. Sean.
So here we are, 35 days out of, I think,
the single most important midterm we've ever faced. It's an
inflection point for the country. I've been trying to convey
a sense of urgency to you, my wonderful audience here.
I want to just tell you with the highest degree
of confidence, there is enough people in this audience on 700, what,
(00:25):
60 stations strong and podcasted, et cetera. We're everywhere. that
can change the outcome of this election. Reince Priebus has
been saying that he thinks 100,000 votes may separate the
balance of power in both the House and the Senate.
I don't know. I just know that the polling in
this cycle has been atrocious, as evidenced by Abdul El-Sayed
(00:48):
in Michigan. He was supposed to win by 20 points.
He barely won by a point. Or Francesca Hong. She
had one poll like the week of the election or
just before the weekend before you know, where she was
up 30, is up between 20 and 30 points, lost
the race by 3,000. I don't know how the polling
can be that atrocious. But if everybody has the same mindset,
(01:11):
which is assume that your vote is going to be
the determining vote for your congressional seat, be it congressman, congresswoman,
your gubernatorial race, our friend Greg Abbott, we got to
take care of him in Texas. He's been a great
governor for Texas. Ken Paxton, we'll talk about him in
a second and Telefrico. And I'm just telling you, you've
(01:33):
got to take these races seriously. Assume that your vote matters.
And I'm talking about my free state of Florida. I mean,
if I look at polls, it gets a little chilling.
It's like you got to be kidding me. I don't
trust them, which is why I'm not sharing them with you.
I think they have a psychological impact on turnout. I
(01:56):
think people, they either get deflated or they get over-exuberant.
And I don't want anybody feeling that way. I want
everyone to feel as if their vote matters. And then
there's a group of people out there, I don't know,
they have whatever purity test that they may have, and
you people probably scare me the most. What do I
mean by that? It means that if, let's say, you're
(02:20):
a congressman or woman, Is not the best. And this
is the ongoing conversation we've been having on the program.
And let's just call it what it is. Let's say
they're weak Republicans. Let's say they're rhinos. I don't like
them either. I'm not fond of many of them. However,
I don't know one of them that would eliminate the U.S. Senate,
(02:42):
eliminate your ability to choose the president, that would pack
the courts, that wants amnesty for illegals, wants to abolish
the borders, abolish ICE, end all deportation. I don't know
one Republican that's standing on that platform. Every Republican I
know running. And, you know, let's start with the basics.
They all support securing our borders. Okay, that's important. Otherwise,
(03:05):
we're going to become Western Europe. You know, I never thought,
you know, unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation. How's that worked
out in Western Europe? Well, 100 Sharia courts in Great Britain,
no-go zones all over Europe. And it's almost like... This
model that the radicalized Democratic Party has taken on, you know,
(03:25):
has now been tried all over Europe and its results
have been catastrophic. I mean, we saw this this thwarted
terror attempt. You know, why would you allow unfettered illegal
immigration and not demand assimilation? No go zones in France
and elsewhere. Sharia courts in Great Britain. Never thought I'd
(03:45):
see that or we'd be discussing it. But they also
adopted climate alarmism to the tune of wasting trillions of
dollars combined. They have adopted radical socialism. It always fails.
This is what this is what the radical left now
wants to do in this country vis-a-vis the DSA, Democratic
Socialists of America. They are the power base. Don't let
(04:07):
anybody fool you in this country. You know, if you
if you have Democrats that are saying they're going to
be more moderate, which, by the way, is now the
new tactic that they've taken on. They realize that eliminating
the Senate and packing the courts and amnesty for illegals
and abolishing borders and ICE and ending deportation. Can you
imagine the stupidity of wanting to defund the Department of War,
(04:30):
eliminating cash bail, abolishing prisons, abolishing the police? The idea
that government is going to take over the ownership of
most corporations? this insane cradle to grave, womb to the tomb,
government guaranteed daycare, government guaranteed date night babysitters, government guaranteed jobs,
(04:50):
guaranteed government salaries, and guaranteed government healthy food. Good grief.
That just takes our constitution, the notion that rights are
endowed to us by our creator, and governments are established
to protect those natural rights that are God-given. And, you know,
(05:11):
in the process, you give up all liberty, all freedom
in the name of false security because they never can
fulfill the price tag of the Green New Deal. What
is it? Two hundred and ten trillion dollars. I mean,
we can't afford any of this, nor does government run
anything well, as evidenced by your government schools, by Obamacare
and the Social Security lockbox. What is government doing so
(05:33):
well except for the Department of War? And even that
is too expensive at times, and they misappropriate money. And
they want to wealth tax and punish success and disincentivize
people from being creators and innovators. The great thing about
liberty and freedom is it is a true meritocracy in life.
(05:54):
And by the way, the rich do pay their fair share.
The top 1% pay about 50% of the taxes. The
top 10% pay about 80%. The bottom 50% of wage
earners pay about 1% of the tax base in this
country when it comes to income taxes. But under Donald Trump,
we see that poverty, especially for minorities, Hispanic Americans, African Americans,
(06:18):
Native Americans, is now at an all-time low. Incomes for
the lowest 25% is now at the highest level ever.
Median income rose to $ 87, 600. That is the most ever.
You've seen 80 plus records in the stock market. OK,
if you have an IRA, you have a 401k, that
(06:38):
that means your retirement money is is growing by leaps
and bounds. There's not a single Republican that supports this
insane agenda. So start with the basics. Most Republicans, about 98,
99 percent of them, you know, supported the largest tax
cut in history. They supported secure borders. They don't want
(06:59):
biological men playing women's sports. You know, again, start with
the fundamentals. They believe in law and order and safety
and security. They're not defund, dismantle, no bail, abolish prisons, insanity.
So there's a lot on the line for everybody. So
if you have this purity test and you say, well,
(07:19):
I don't particularly love this candidate or that candidate, I
probably would agree with you based on their record. But
that's not what's on the ballot here. It's bigger than that.
And I think people need to see the bigger picture.
That's my humble opinion. But you do what you want.
But there are enough people listening to this show that
can make the difference and we can decide the outcome
(07:42):
of a lot of these races. and save our country
for our kids and our grandkids. I mean, we inherited
a better country from our parents because of their sacrifice.
My dad fought in World War II, four years in
the Pacific. Didn't exactly love it. Grew up dirt poor,
like my mother grew up dirt poor. And I know
that any success I have in life is because I
(08:03):
stand on their shoulders. They stand on their parents' shoulders.
All four of my grandparents came from Ireland. And now
we owe it to the next generation to leave this
country alive in better shape than that which we found it.
And this is now our opportunity. You know, I never thought,
and we'll have Ken Paxton on the show and Darlene
Graham on the show. I'm not taking any of these
(08:24):
races for granted. I'm not taking the free state of
Florida for granted. I'm not taking South Carolina for granted.
Here you got a guy in Kansas running on a
platform that we should repent and stop eating meat and
repent for using automobiles. And that's the Democratic candidate against
Roger Marshall who, In the state of Kansas, this is insanity.
(08:46):
And by the way, also a cattle state, or a
six-gender Tallarico, or Talafrico, whatever you want to call them,
whatever you prefer. You know, this guy, you know, everything
now is on biblical grounds. We'll get into this later
with Ken Paxton in more detail, but the Bible that
I read on biblical grounds talks about Jesus, the only
(09:07):
begotten Son of God, the Father in heaven, that sacrificed
his life so that we can reconcile with God the Father,
the ultimate sacrifice, and was beaten and humiliated and hung
from a cross and did so voluntarily as the ultimate
sacrifice to reconcile mankind to God. If you believe that,
this guy's throwing Jesus around and God around and biblical grounds.
(09:30):
I don't remember God or Jesus, God the Father's Son
that he sent to earth for our reconciliation. and to
save us from our sins. We've all sinned and fallen short.
I don't remember him teaching a prayer to his disciples
that started with, our non-binary. Don't recall that. I remember
(09:52):
our father. I think it's very clear what he was saying.
I've read the book of Genesis many times, and God
created us. man and women, not six genders. And the
idea that Telefrico thinks he can now, oh, in the
last week and a half, two weeks, change his opinion. Oh,
I didn't really mean that. Oh, my math was wrong. Oh,
I misspoke. Now he's lecturing us. Let me play this cut.
(10:15):
He says, when I fight for universal health care, I'm
doing it on biblical grounds. Well, on biblical grounds, Jesus
taught us that the Lord's Prayer, I think the most
important prayer, because it came right from Jesus' mouth to
his disciples, starts with the words, Our Father. So we'll
argue that on biblical grounds. And I'll argue on biblical
grounds that Adam and Eve were the creations of God.
(10:41):
And this guy wants biological men and women sports in
the state of Texas. He's running a vegan campaign in
a cattle state of Texas. He doesn't want any drilling
for oil in the oil state of Texas. I mean,
this guy is so out of touch, and he's using
Jesus and the Bible to push this message, which I find, frankly,
very offensive. Listen.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
When Jesus healed the sick, he didn't ask for a deductible.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So... So when I fight.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
For universal health care, I'm doing it on biblical grounds.
When Jesus fed the hungry, he didn't price gouge to
turn a profit. So when I say that no child
in the state of Texas should go to bed hungry,
I'm doing it on biblical grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And when the.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Hebrew prophets saw corruption in high places, they spoke truth
to power. So when I take on the politicians who
are serving themselves and not the people, I am doing
it on biblical grounds.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
On biblical grounds, I remember the prayer starting with our father,
not six genders, not non-binary. I remember the creation of
man and women on biblical grounds. If we're going to
argue the Bible, I did study theology, Latin, went to
a seminary, I'm not saying I'm the best Christian in
the world, but an old thing or two about the Bible,
it's the most important thing in my life. My faith,
(12:07):
my belief in God the Father and Jesus his Son,
and this guy doesn't get to rewrite it and use
it as a political weapon without being challenged, especially on
the authenticity and interpretation of such when he's so off.
I mean, I can't believe it. I mentioned Kansas. Look
at Telefrico. You look at Abdul El-Sayed. We've covered him exhaustively.
(12:28):
You know, I'm looking at Darlene Graham who will join
us later in the show. I mean, running against a woman...
that literally claims, you know, said about the Save Women's
Sports Act that requiring public and private middle high school
teams and sports to be designated based on biological sex.
(12:49):
You know, she called the law shameful. This is a woman,
a pediatrician, nonetheless. I don't think she's practicing. One of
the most outspoken advocates in the country for gender affirming care,
supporting puberty blockers, hormone therapy. This is South Carolina. Telefrico
is from Texas. You know, you got this megachurch, you know,
(13:13):
preacher in Kansas, you know, repent for driving a car,
repent and stop and refrain from eating meat. These people
are nuts. You know, Darlene Gramsbury, this woman is out
there all over X. She's got a picture of herself.
Protect trans kids, you know, as a Latest 2023 on X.
(13:35):
It's the G.D. Mother effing guns. South Carolina. I'm taking
nothing for granted. And if you think that, well, well,
your candidate, the Democratic candidate in your state, I think
the perfect example would be Sherrod Brown in Ohio. He's
a phony or John Ossoff in Georgia. They they may
not be running on the DSA, but they will not
(13:57):
challenge them. I promise you, as evidenced by the only
one that's been willing to challenge this radicalism in the
Democratic Party that is elected is John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
(14:20):
I've even convinced Linda at this point that purity tests
don't apply here. It's too important. I mean, if you
love this country, you just have to accept that there
are going to be imperfect Republicans, but they're not crazy.
They're not DSA people. They're not open borders people. They're
(14:42):
not higher taxes. Well, there's a couple, but generally speaking,
they're not DSA people. Defund the police, wide open borders,
higher taxes. No, that's not them. There's a lot to,
you know, biological men playing women's sports. Start there. All right,
quick break. Right back.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
25 years of stories, laughter, late nights and early mornings.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And he says it never gets old.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Thank you, Sean Hannity, for 25 great years.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Thanks to all of you. 25 now till the top
of the hour. 800-941-SEAN if you want to be part
of the program. So, Linda, I was asked today, USA
Today doing a profile on me. And by the end
of the interview... He goes, well, I wrote this question,
but I kind of got the answer. You think you'll
ever retire? And I'm like, you know, no. When God
(16:08):
makes me retire.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Should we have a real conversation about how many times
we've had that conversation?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, but I just, you know.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
You're never retiring.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Why do people want to know that?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm going to bury you with this microphone. I'm literally
going to take the swing arm and put it in
the casket and put it in your mausoleum.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You put it in the casket and the mausoleum?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
In fact, I might just set the whole studio up
in the mausoleum. So if at some point you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Want to talk to us from beyond. I'm going to
change my will, by the way. I don't even want
to have a memorial service.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Why not? I got a whole thing planned. It's going
to be great.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Are you going to make it funny?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Of course I'm going to make it funny.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm Irish.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're not going to cry?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
We don't have feelings. We're Irish.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, when you go to an Irish wake... There's groups
of people. There's no right or wrong way to mourn somebody.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The brandy drinkers, the vodka drinkers.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, no. It would be the Irish whiskey drinkers. No,
there's one. Well, there is that group of people. They
do it. Oh, there's a shout to Joey. Joey, Brian. Brian,
my man. My love.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then you got the whalers. You know, they just
cry the whole time. Then you got the ins and
out people. They cry. They laugh. They cry. They laugh.
And then you got the ones I can't handle. And
we've talked about this before. The people that go up
and awake in an open casket, which I think is
the dumbest idea ever. I want to be remembered for
(17:25):
who I am. Put me in the box and close it.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
What's the difference? You wear makeup in real life. You
wear makeup when you're dead. What's the difference?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I have to for television. Don't blame me for that.
It's always hard explaining to my kids why their dad
wears makeup for TV.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Why is daddy powdering his nose?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Because if you don't on TV, you look like a ghost.
There's the answer.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
No, you look shiny.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You look like a ghost. You just do. It's the
way the lighting is, et cetera, et cetera. But the
people that go up to the casket, the open casket,
and they touch and they hold the hand of the
dead person and they kiss the dead person. It freaks
me out. You disclosed on this program, you're one of
(18:11):
those creepy people. That is creepy. Yes. That is so creepy.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
It's not creepy. It's called weird.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
You should know of all people you went to seminary,
you know, practicing Catholics. That's what we do. We go
up during the wake.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
We kneel. We typically do in our father or him married.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And I don't want to look at a dead body.
I want to remember the problem is when I was
a kid and I went to a wake for the
first time for my uncle, Bob, I was like seven
years old. And I just, I never got that image
out of my head.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
What image?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Of him laying in the casket. That's my, that's my
main memory of him, him in the casket.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
You have no living memories of him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I have them, but they're buried much deeper than the pic,
the image of him laying in the casket dead. I'd
have a stroke.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Sounds like a you problem.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
No, it's not a you, me problem. I didn't want
to touch a dead body. Don't, look, don't reverse this
on me. You're the weirdo that wants to touch and
kiss a dead body.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
First of all, I didn't say I wanted to touch it.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
But you do do it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
If I'm out awake, I'm going to go up. I'm
going to kneel.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Kneel.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
And I'm going to pay my respects.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's normal.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
This is where it gets weird.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Okay, take it easy. When it's like, you know, like
my grandmother, my.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Grandfather, somebody who's, you know, like my mama.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
My papa, it was very sad. I'm definitely probably like
my mama, you know, she had a rosary in her
hands and I touched the rosary in her hands. And
I will say it's sad because it's cold and you
know their spirits moved on.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The rosary was cold or you touched the hand?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Everything was cold. It was just cold. But, you know,
it's sad.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Okay, so you've touched dead bodies and you've kissed dead bodies.
True or false?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It's a true statement.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Weird. That's very strange. That's very bizarre to me.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Listen. To each his own.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I digress. You know, there's a part of me getting
excited about... Look, in 35 days, you're either going to
be jazzed because Donald Trump and Republicans will shock the world.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Or.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
you're going to be, oh no, what just happened?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Look at that text I just sent you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So we had a list. Did you see it? Yeah,
I'm going to get to that.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Well done, right?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, very well done. So it's either going to be
Fox News can project that Republicans have held the majority
in the House of Representatives and they have even gained
their majority in the Senate. That could happen. Or it's
going to be Fox News can project that That the DSA,
(20:37):
they won't say it this way, but, you know, the
Democratic Party now has control and a majority in the
House and, God forbid, the Senate. That could happen. So understand,
what do you want to hear 35 nights from now?
Because it's game time. I personally would love to hear
(20:59):
Fox News can now project Republicans have held their majority
in the House and the Senate. and they've gained on
their majority. Now, it goes against historical trends. I am
not giving you false hope. I'm saying that you can
shock the world, and there's enough people listening to this
show every day to make the difference. We have on
(21:20):
our website to help inform you, because it's hard to
remember all the crazy DSA lists that's on their website.
So we have, as a public service, you can download
it from my website, carry it in your pocket, All
of Donald Trump's and the Republicans, as weak as some
of them are, they've accomplished a lot. And not as
(21:41):
much as I want. No, I want the SAVE Act.
I still want it. We have a bigger majority. Maybe
we can get it done. You know what? But he
secured the borders. Largest tax cut in history. Iran will
never have a nuclear weapon. He doesn't get enough credit
for that. And we're going to get to that in
a second. I want to remind you, you need a
safety security strategy. In some cases, somebody wants to kill you,
kill your family. Well, only one option will work in
(22:02):
that case. And that is the lethal option. But the
FBI tells us the last year they have statistics for it,
that's 2022. That's only 0.01% of the time. Now, that's
where Berner comes in. B-Y-R-N-A dot com, where they come in.
Please look at their videos online. I mean, you don't
need a permit. You don't need a background check. It's
legal in all 50 states. These launchers have powerful deterrence,
(22:26):
tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds. You can hit a
target as far as 60 feet away. One shot. You'll
see this on the video. B-Y-R-N-A dot com. One shot
can incapacitate any attacker for up to 40 minutes. Gives
you time to escape. And when you see the pros
adopting a technology, you should pay attention. And by the pros,
(22:46):
I mean over 500 government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
By the way, all hand assembled, Fort Wayne, Indiana. You're
going to love this technology. Now, they keep improving their technology.
If you own one of the older models like the SD,
you can upgrade to the CL or the CLXL. And
it's really simple. One, two, three. Order a prepaid return kit, $ 19. 99.
(23:10):
Ship your SD back to Burner. And then receive $ 150
coupon in one to three days, and you can upgrade
to the CL XL. It means more power, greater muscle velocity,
lighter weight, more magazine options. It's very easy to conceal carry.
I do it every day. Anyway, byrna.com. This technology works.
(23:30):
You're going to want it if that God forbid moment
comes for you and for your family. So what Linda
was referring to here, I think is very interesting. And
she got a note from a listener saying, We have,
I think, the smartest audience out there. You know, it's interesting.
Liberals tune into the show because they want to know
(23:51):
what is the enemy thinking. They view us as the enemy.
They also know that our arguments are effective and they
want to be able to counter. I have been informed
by Democrats that they are told to watch my show
and to listen to this radio show to learn how
to deal with, you know, conservatives like myself. Well, I
(24:13):
find that pretty interesting. Anyway, this is from a listener
to the show. Linda, how you doing? Love listening to
you guys. Somewhere on social media, I saw someone complain
about gas prices, and a reply which really resonated with me,
and I thought was such an excellent point. The reply was,
if you don't like paying higher gas prices, and by
(24:34):
the way, that means Donald Trump will make sure that
your children and grandchildren don't inherit a world with a
nuclear-armed Iran, which I think is something that had to
be done. Every Democratic president said we need to do it.
They never had the courage to do it. Anyway, he said,
gas price reply, which really resonated with me and I
(24:55):
thought was such an excellent point, the reply. If you
don't like paying higher gas prices, wait until you have
to pay for everyone else's college tuition. I'm like, check
and mate. Whoever wrote this, you're a genius. I wish
I thought of it. To me, that puts all of
this in a great perspective. No one likes to pay
more at the gas pump. I get it. But you
(25:17):
consider the alternative. Listen, I'm not telling you to sell.
There is a time and a place to challenge rhino Republicans.
It's called the primary. I mean, Cassidy in Louisiana, John
Cornyn in Texas. Donald Trump challenged all these state legislators
in Indiana. They all got defeated because Donald Trump had
(25:38):
them primaried. And You know, there is a time and
a place to take on people that you don't think
live up to the standards that you want a conservative
or a Republican you're electing to stand up for. Now's
not the time. That moment has come and that moment
has gone. You might say, well, Hannity, why don't you
lead the charge? I try to stay out of primaries because,
number one, it gets too deep in the weeds. Number two,
(26:01):
it's a national show. Number three, I kind of leave
it up to individuals in their respective states and districts
to handle that stuff. It's up to you. except if
there's extreme cases, like I'm glad Tom Massey's out. There
are a few others that, you know, we could live
without also. But, you know, putting all that in perspective,
(26:22):
just think about that. You know, these people get their way.
They will defund, dismantle police departments. They will go ahead
with their no bail insanity. If they can, we saw
this in the Biden years, they'll go right back to
lying to you and open the borders. And, you know,
we'll have unfettered illegal immigration. And it will become Europe.
(26:43):
If they have their way, the new Green Deal, radical socialism,
radical climate alarmism will be adopted. Unfettered illegal immigration is
going to result in known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters,
other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, just like in
the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas years. It's all going to come back and
haunt us. And I'm just saying it's all preventable because
(27:05):
it's not as imperfect as they are, some of them.
There's some really great ones. But as imperfect as some
of them are, they're not that. Start there. If they're
willing to support and secure our borders and fund our
police departments and not defund our Department of War and
vote for tax cuts and not let biological men play
(27:28):
women's sports, let's start there. Because if you don't vote
for that person because they're not the perfect candidate for you,
you had your chance during a primary election. That that
moment has come and gone. You'll have another opportunity in
two years or six years. And but but don't elect Talafrico.
You know, don't vote against Roger Marshall in Kansas. You know,
(27:50):
don't elect this idiot, Sherrod Brown in Ohio. They're all
going to go with the dominant voice, which is the
DSA movement in the Democratic Party and their leadership. We
know who they are. It's AOC. It's the squad. It's
Mum Donnie. It's Pocahontas. It's Grandpa Bernie. It'll be Abdul
(28:10):
El-Sayed in Michigan if you don't elect Mike Rogers. You know,
we got to pay attention, help Dan Sullivan in Alaska.
It's an important race. This woman hinted in Iowa. You
got to help out our friend Governor Greg Abbott. They're
coming after him with hundreds of millions of dollars in
negative ads against him in Paxton. Maybe you say, well,
Paxton is not the perfect candidate. He's not for a
(28:31):
welcome mat at the border. He's not preaching six genders.
He's not preaching God is non-binary, not fighting for biological
men to play women's sports. I mean, you have a
clear choice option. I mean, there's never been a greater
choice election moment in our lifetime. Now, again, in 35 days,
you're going to hear words Fox News Channel can now project.
(28:55):
What do you want to hear after those words are uttered?
Because that's what's on the ballot in 35 days. 35
nights from now, what do you want to hear? And
make your choice and make it wisely. Here's my humble suggestion.
If all of you take it seriously, I guarantee you win.
(29:17):
I guarantee historical trends will be meaningless and we can
shock the world. By the way, Rasmussen poster I have
right now, they have the generic ballot. has mostly now
been cut in half in the last week. I think
all these polls you're going to see, they're trying to
deflate motivation and turnout. And I'm telling you not to
(29:39):
look at them. And it's nearly tied at this point.
But they have the if the elections for Congress were
held today, generic ballot is within the margin of error.
You know, you have one left wing House candidate, William Lawrence,
calling America an Adam Schiff whole country. Wow. I mean,
and then posted an upside down American flag. I mean,
(29:59):
you have all these friends of Hassan Piker, now Rom Rombo,
dead fish. By the way, he's agreed to come on
my podcast. That's going to be interesting. Yeah. He's now
expressing support for Abdul El-Sayed. Unbelievable. Jasmine Crockett snubbing James
Telefrico yet again, according to the Washington Sun. You have
(30:20):
ex-Trump officials campaign ad. You know, why are people mad
at Sarah Huckabee Sanders? She's a lovely person. And if
the ad wasn't perfect, I mean, for crying out loud,
can you just what why is this level of purity
that is existing out there? I'm like, there's not there's
no such thing as perfect. The Senate, by the way,
passed the Protect College Sports Act with a decisive vote.
(30:44):
Riley Gaines lawsuit against the NCAA dismissed by the Biden
appointed judge. Appeal is planned in that particular case. But
you got these radical left wing Democrats. They want power.
You got one House Democrat, Stephen Cohn, filed 26 articles
of impeachment against President Trump. You want to live through
two years of that hell? Because that's what it's going
to be. You know, if you want to know what
(31:08):
the Democrats plan to do after the midterms, they're telling you.
They're going to investigate, investigate, impeach, impeach, impeach, and stop
all progress to the degree that they possibly can. Want
to know what it's going to look like? Look at
Donnie's New York. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. It's it's all he wants
from President Trump is money. That's why he won't trash Trump.
(31:36):
This just breaking. Caleb Flynn guilty all charges killing his wife.
We have Darlene Graham. We have Ken Paxton coming up
on your calls. Eight hundred nine four one. Sean.
