Former Obama administration official Ravi Gupta joins Sean for an extended debate over the direction of the Democratic Party, the influence of democratic socialism, Hassan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed and the political positioning taking place ahead of the midterms. They clash over Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, Democratic candidates and whether recent shifts on controversial issues represent genuine changes or election-year politics. Sean also takes calls from listeners as the countdown to Election Day continues.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our two Sean Hannity show on a Friday toll free.
It's eight hundred nine four one. Sean, if you want
to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
So we're just 32 short days away from, I think,
what is the single most important midterm election in our lifetime?
I think it's it is. There's never been a clearer
choice election in our lifetime. We're about to be joined
by a DSA guest, and I just want to see
what they really believe and try and get to the
(00:31):
bottom of it. The fact that Hassan Piker is now
saying that Telerico, he's going to make sure he votes
his way. I'm expecting a tape any day that will
come out that will be so damning on Telerico. It'll
be very interesting. The fact that any Democrat would ever,
you know, campaign with Hassan Piker. you know, lamenting that
(00:52):
Trump is still alive and defending Luigi Mangione. And, you know,
if you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill Rick Scott. And,
you know, how many times has he made comments that
I view personally as anti-Semitic, blaming Jewish groups for getting
him banned from the UK and Israel doesn't have a
right to exist. Words that came out of his mouth.
(01:14):
Lindsey Graham was an exceptionally demonic entity. displays the newspaper
showing the Twin Towers burning on 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
The streets should run red with the blood of capitalists,
you know, all comments that he made. And it goes
(01:36):
on and on and not loving America.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I hate America so much. We are the bad guys.
We are the bad guys. Why do I hate America?
Because I recognize accurate history. Oh, God, I hate America
so much.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Hate america so much sometimes it's like so stupid dude
god i hate america so much bro i hate this

bloodthirsty monster god i hate america so much sometimes dude
(02:32):
oh my god it's just so nasty Just a bunch
of perverted fascist fat in this country.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Just bloodthirsty. They have it. Anyway, joining us now to
discuss debate is Ravi Gupta. He is a former Obama
administration official, author of The Invisible List, also worked for
David Axelrod and Susan Rice before co-founding Arena, where he
has been involved in the training of more than 7000
(03:01):
Democratic operatives and joins us today to discuss, to debate
the midterms of the DSA. And we appreciate you coming
on the program. And I don't think you're a big
fan of mine, are you?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, one thing to clarify, Sean, first of all, thank
you for having me on. My dad is a very
loyal listener.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm back to even when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That's good for your dad. I wish your dad was
on the program because I think we're going to disagree
a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, one thing to clarify is I'm not a DSA person.
I'm actually a huge enemy of the DSA. I've written
a lot about why I think Kassan Piker is a
terrible influence on the party and have been really trying
to fight a lot of pitched battles about trying to
exercise him from my side of the aisle. I think
he's crazy. I grew up in Staten Island. I think
(03:50):
his views on 9-11 and among other things are really dangerous.
And anti-American. So I think you and I are aligned
on that.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So then why would why would why is every elected
senator but for John Fetterman unwilling to take him on?
He just went to Washington about a week and a
half ago and he walked away with endorsements. Kirsten Gillibrand,
Chuck Schumer promised pledged 10 million dollars for his campaign
in Michigan. But they are unwilling to take on the
(04:21):
radicalism that has taken over their party. Now, as left
as I thought Obama was and will spread the wealth around,
I never and I didn't like Obama's associations with Reverend Wright, G.D.
America or Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn. But I don't
think I've ever heard him talk like this. but nor
(04:42):
am I hearing him condemn it either.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, I think like, you know, one thing I've seen
that gives me a little bit of hope is that
once the primaries were over and you have some of
these general election candidates like Roy Cooper or John Ossoff
and all that, those people aren't spending any time with
Piker talking about Piker. And in the case of Ossoff,
for example, when asked about Piker, he condemned him clearly.
(05:06):
I wish I saw more clarity from Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan.
I think he's spent a lot of time having to
distance himself a little bit from Piker. But, you know,
I think it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, he's he's actually been lying. He's taken on the
AOC playbook, which is, oh, no, that was crazy. Woke
point 1.0, just like Telefrico was, you know, defending for
the longest time six genders on biblical grounds and God
is non-binary on biblical grounds and a welcome mat at
the border and biological men playing women's sports. And now, oh,
(05:42):
all of us. Well, my math was wrong on the
six genders. Oh, I misspoke on that. But he defended
it for the longest time. So I think what's happened
is there's got to be internal polling showing that Democrats,
that messaging, the DSA messaging isn't working. So they're pulling
back from it and they're just hiding who they really are.
It's not that their hearts have changed or their opinions
have changed.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Well, I think, you know, I allow for people to
change their positions in politics, you know, like Katie.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
All right, Robbie, come on. I've been at this game
too long. I allow for people to evolve and change
their positions, too. But when you're defending two weeks ago
the position on six genders, God is non-binary, welcome out
at the border, vegan campaign. No oil in an oil state.
Biological men and women's sports. And then, you know, weeks,
(06:31):
you know, two weeks, you know, later you say, you know,
I was wrong on that. Cut the crap. That is
called an election year conversion. True or false?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, I think like, well, what election year conversions are
OK and not? You know, J.D. Vance was calling Trump Hitler.
Mike Rogers was saying that January 6th was.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That goes back to 2016. OK, that was a long
time ago. But now you want to take it about this.
I am saying three weeks ago, Talafrico was defending all this. Obviously,
the polling shows he can't win if he defends it.
So he's changed. So that's an election year conversion. All
you want to do is pivot every question I'm asking
(07:12):
about your Democratic Party to a Republican. Is James Talafrico,
is this an election year conversion? Is he being phony?
And I'm going to give you a little hint. I
would expect a tape coming out in short order that
will expose him as doing this only for the election.
But I'm really with you guys in real life. So state,
(07:33):
you know, you might want to protect yourself here and
your credibility. I'm helping you out because of.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Your father directly like. I think election year conversions, you know,
maybe I'm cynical about politics, but I think people just
follow the incentives. And I think, you know, although I
hadn't seen Tallarico make that statement about six genders in
the past two weeks, I know like recently, maybe about
a year ago or maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, he was he was defending it up until two
weeks ago when he backed off it. And and, you know,
for example, for Assam Piker to say that it was
Abdul El-Sayed that invited him on the campaign trail and
he was hanging out with him all the time. Oh,
he's just some California podcaster. Isn't that an election year
conversion also?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, well, you and I agree on Abdullah's side for sure.
I think one question I have for you is.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So if you're in Michigan... If you're at, well, if
you get a show, you can ask me questions and
invite me on as a guest. If you're in Michigan,
are you voting for Mike Rogers or Abdul El-Sayed?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, I think you've got two people flip-flopped on very
major issues.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I didn't ask you. If you had to pull the
lever for one, who would you vote for?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I would be voting for Abdul El-Sayed because I think
this Iran war is a disaster, as Mike Rogers is flip-flopping, too.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Is the world better and safer without a nuclear-armed Iran
for our children and grandchildren?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I think this war has made them more likely
to pursue it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I didn't ask you about the war. The world is
safer because Donald Trump is preventing Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon. That was a good thing for the world, right?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
No, I think he's made them more likely to have
a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think you're nuts. If they can't enrich uranium, how
are they going to build a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, I think right now they've discovered a source of
leverage they didn't have before, which is their ability to
block the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, they're not blocking the Strait of Hormuz. We're back
to pre-war levels in terms of the oil getting through,
starting with the southern lane and a new lane that
they opened up. So that's not true.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Well, this morning I thought it was about 60% of
pre-war levels. And I think one of the reasons why
we be fairly certain that that impact is hitting us
at home is looking at the price of diesel and gas,
which as.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A former Obama and Axelrod guy, let me ask you this.
Cause the DSA has still on their website. I've been
predicting they're going to take it down anytime soon, but
they want to eliminate the U S Senate. Uh, they
want to pack the courts. More Democrats are running on
that platform than any other. On the DSA agenda, amnesty
(09:57):
for illegals, abolish borders, end deportation, abolish ICE. They want
to defund the Department of War. They want to eliminate
cash bail, abolish prisons, abolish police, public ownership of corporations.
They want a wealth tax. And then they want cradle
to grave, womb to the tomb, Green New Deal, guaranteed daycare.
(10:19):
Guaranteed government job, guaranteed government salary, guaranteed government healthy food.
Is this stuff you support?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
No, I think.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But that is the power base. If you look at
who is now in charge of the Democratic Party, how
come no elected Democratic senator will condemn that agenda? And
why are they supporting candidates that support it? Why are
they giving money to candidates that support it?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, I think if you look at people like who's
in the statewide elected offices in the Democratic Party, it's
people like Roy Cooper. You know, it's people like.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Even you can keep mentioning Roy Cooper, Sherrod Brown and
John Ossoff all you want. Do you believe they're going
to be like John Fetterman and take on the radicals
that really control the party? And that would be AOC,
the squad, Pocahontas. Grandpa Bernie, Mom Donnie. I mean, look
(11:13):
at what's happening in New York, Kathy Hochul. Every Democrat
bows at the altar of Mom Donnie and AOC, don't they?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I don't think that's true. You know, I don't agree
with that. I think like, you know, that might be a.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You don't agree with that? Is Kathy Hochul not kicking
Mom Donnie, kissing Mom Donnie's ass?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, she's the governor of New York. She has to
work with the mayor of New York. But I think
if you look at somebody like Rob Sand running in Iowa...
When he's asked about the DSA, he roundly condemns it.
When he's asked about Hassan Piker, he condemns it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And do you think if he got to the U.S. Senate,
would he join John Fetterman in vocal condemnation of them?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I would imagine so. I mean, when he's asked about it,
he's very.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, they won't. Chuck Schumer hasn't. Hakeem Jeffries hasn't. Only
one U.S. senator has done it. And the reason they
won't is because they're going to decide, meaning the radical
base that controls the.
The entire party. Now it's been taken over by the radicals.
They're going to vote for whoever they want for chairman.
They're going to, they're going to, they're going to tow
(12:10):
the line and they're going to get in line or
they know there'll be their, their lives in Washington will
be short. They'll be primaried and removed from office.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, I think the good test here was Hassan Piker, right?
When Piker made those ridiculous comments about Jews with the many,
many ridiculous comments, but most recently when he made a
very threatening comment about Jews deserving violence. Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer,
Alyssa Slotkin, they all came out and condemned him for it.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And why is the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee giving this
guy tens of millions of dollars?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Well, you're talking about Abdul Syed, right? I was talking
about Piker.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, he's best friends with Piker.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, I don't see them as best friends, but they're
closer than I'd like them to be. And that's one
of the reasons why I've been quite critical of Abdul Syed,
and I did not back him in the primary.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know, it's just very interesting to me because I
actually think David Axelrod's a smart guy. I don't think
he's dumb. And and I think Obama was way more
politically skillful than than this new cast of characters that
we have. And I think there was a Bill Clinton.
The era of big government is over. End of welfare
as we know it. That party is done. It's gone.
(13:23):
It is extinct. You know that your party has changed
and shifted dramatically, right? The only reason that Republicans even
have a shot in this midterm election is because of
those nutcases that control your party.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, I think all the polling seems to suggest that
it's the Republicans who are in trouble. I mean, we're
talking about races like Texas, where Trump won Texas by 16.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And we're talking about races like Minnesota. And we're talking
about Mike Rogers likely winning in Michigan. And we're talking
about New Hampshire. Sununu's making a strong play there. So,
you know, it works both ways.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well, just today, the, you know, the Republican main pack
just pulled out of North Carolina and are investing in Kansas,
you know, which is a district that Trump won at 14.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, you got a lunatic running there that wants people
in Kansas to repent for driving in her car. And
what's the other thing he's against? I think eating meat
or something.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
What are you talking about, Hamilton?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That would be the mega church pastor guy that's running
your Democratic candidate.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, I think like, you know, the fact that all
of these races are in play, I think tells us something.
Plus all the public polling we're seeing, even from Fox News, right?
Like these polls are telling us a pretty consistent message,
which is voters are unhappy with this administration.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I've got to run. But listen, I do appreciate your time.
Will you please do me a favor? Will you please
tell your dad thank you? and that I'm going to
tell you that I have a message for him. I'm
going to work with him to try to fix you.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, thank you, sir. It's my pleasure, and I really
thank you for welcoming me on your podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You're very welcome on my radio show, but it's okay.
I do have a lot of jobs. It's easy to
get confused. Ravi Gupta, former Obama administration official, author of
The Invisible List, 800-941-SHAWN. This Friday, you want to be
a part of the program. So as I said at
the start of the show, I was so mad yesterday.
(15:20):
I went on the road with J.D. Bad weather came in.
Couldn't fly. We were grounded. And there was no place
where I could do the radio show. I don't want
to be off the air 33 days before an election.
And I just it just is what it is. And but,
you know, I didn't vent too much. I'm grateful to,
(15:41):
you know, Linda pulling it together. Mark Simone coming in.
I'm very, very grateful. One of the things, Linda, I
wanted to talk about. So there was yesterday in the
New York Post an article how a NASCAR truck driver
has been ordered to pay eight hundred and fifty grand
for an affair that she had with a married man
(16:01):
that wound up ending his 17 year marriage. Now, this
is pretty this is a pretty interesting law against ruining
a marriage. Now, Tracy Hughes claims that in the 2024
lawsuit that this liaison, if you will, with her husband,
(16:23):
that her husband had with Cobb, caused the previously happily
married couple to split in 2021. And the 53-year-old veteran
racer willfully, intentionally, deliberately seduced, enticed, and alienated the affections
of her husband, according to the ex-wife. All right, so
(16:44):
I don't usually get into people's personal lives. But you
know something? The more I thought about this, I'm like,
why shouldn't people that are responsible, I mean, we have
pretty much all over the country this thing called no-fault divorce.
And I guess it would just clog up the whole
court system. I guess that's probably the reason. And they
(17:07):
come up with no-fault divorce, no-fault, no-fault. I mean, a
person could be a drug addict, alcoholic, you know, serial cheater,
you know, everything that would ruin a marriage if you
made a checklist what would destroy somebody's marriage. And I'm like, wow,
they're actually holding people accountable for doing that. I wanted
to get your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Well, what's your thought on it? You think it's good
that she's.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Being taken to the cleaners? Why are you flipping it
on me? I have my thoughts, which is why I
was going to bring it up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Unlike liberals, I have a little bit of leeway on
this show. So I figured I would ask you. I'm
curious where, because for you to even bring this up
is interesting. So I'm just curious where you stand.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What do you mean, unlike liberals?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Why?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because I keep my foot on their neck and make
them answer my question.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Well, you always say the same thing. Exactly. If you
want to ask me a question, get your own show.
I'll come on as a guest, yada, yada, yada. But
I happen to work here. So I think I have
a little bit of leeway.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
OK, so what's your opinion?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I'm asking you your opinion. That's why I said that
was the whole point of that diatribe was that I
was going.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
To find it fascinating is the answer. I think that
if there is fault, there ought to be accountability. I
think it gets very difficult in the court system. And
I think the reason that the default laws have gone
to no fault is because then the judges don't want
(18:25):
to have to sort out the mess. And then have
to make a decision, you know, who caused what problem.
So I understand why we're here.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
She's a NASCAR driver, the woman.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Who is the NASCAR driver?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The woman.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I've never heard of her before.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
So this woman is a NASCAR driver.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She's a NASCAR truck driver. There's a little difference.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
And she had an affair with somebody who worked in
the pit with her. Is that who it was?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Anyway, so she.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, no, I'm asking because there's a point.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
She had a relationship with a married man and a
17 year marriage. All right. Race driver Jennifer. I'll say
it again. Jennifer Jo Cobb ordered to pay Tracy Hughes
damages for her alleged months long relationship with Hughes's husband.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
He's a spotter, Clayton Hughes. But what is a spotter
in NASCAR? What does the spotter do?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I have no idea. Does it matter? Why is that
even relevant?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
I'm telling you why it's relevant because people hooking up
at work, if they work together, this happens all the time.
So if they're going to set a precedent and say, oh,
you got busy with your coworker and you ended their marriage,
now you're going to be liable to their spouse because
you decided to go to the break room and have
something other than snacks. If you know what I'm saying, then,
(19:50):
you know, now this is going to be a very
different thing because how many people, I am very informed
about this. I work in a corporate office. Do you
know how many people I know that have had affairs
in corporate offices against their spouses? Like in her, in
her situation, this is her office. So she was with
somebody every day working with her on the track. And
(20:11):
she was like, huh, you know what? I'm interested in
more than his spotting. I may take him up on this.
And so that happens. And now the wife gets to
sue her because her husband couldn't keep it in his pants.
I mean, not for nothing. That sounds like a you problem.
You know, if your marriage is tight, your marriage is tight.
The one who cheated.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You're saying the person that is cheated on is the
one that should take responsibility.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Am I hearing you right?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
No, I'm saying that the one who is cheated on
has two options. You can stay with your husband and
you can work it out, or you can leave your
husband because he's a dirty dog, which obviously most women.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Would choose the latter. that destroys the marriage. You're going
to be, you can be, and the other person.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
But she didn't destroy the marriage. The husband destroyed the
marriage because she's not even in the marriage.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They both did.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
She's the side piece.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
As far as I'm concerned, they both are equally guilty.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Right, but she's the side piece. She didn't take any
oath to this woman. She's not married to her.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah, I have seen more accountability for Snuggles the dog
in Arizona. who didn't even do anything wrong, than I
have for 90% of the other crimes that are committed
in the United States of America. The idea that this
woman is the side piece and she's got to pay
off the wife, that's just a bridge too far.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
In my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think he's first and foremost more responsible because he
made the pledge. I agree with that part completely.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Super weird.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's just interesting because you don't see this anymore. No,
not at all. Let us say hello to Brian is
in Alabama. Brian, happy Friday. You're on The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Hello, Sean. It's an honor to be on your show.
Hello from Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes, sir. Glad you called.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Trump is getting ready to speak this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
And I'm here to support him. I've got my red
Make America Great hat again.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Are you online yet? Are you online with the people
waiting to get into the venue or where are you?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I'm actually having lunch before we go over there. But
it's at the campus of University of South Alabama. Go Jaguars.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Listen, I got to tell you, I thought he was
right on his game last night. I love the fact
that the president is fighting hard for the midterms. And
if he's willing to go out there and fight hard,
I hope all of you will do your part. That's
the only thing I can say. He's going to do, what,
35 cities? And he's going to fight for every congressional seat,
every Senate seat. And, you know, if you're looking for perfect,
(22:49):
you're not going to find it in any party or
any individual. You know, we are you know, we all
fall short of the of the glory of God. However,
it's certainly better than DSA madness. It's better than the squad.
It's better than Abdul El-Sayed and Telefrico and all these
Democrats that dare not criticize the power base of their party. Anyway, Brian,
(23:13):
you have fun today, man. Have a good time. Appreciate
you checking in with us. Back to our busy phones.
Toll free is 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a
part of the program. New Jersey, Richard next. Happy Friday, Richard,
on The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Hey, Sean. Thanks for having me on the call on
your show today. It's a real honor to speak with you.
I have a really important topic to discuss with you,
and I'm calling today because I believe I have a
solution to help all Republican Party candidates across the United
States of America with a strategic phrase that can turn
(23:51):
the tide of the election.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Let's hear it. I'm all ears, sir.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right. So if Republicans go on the offense and
change the narrative about what DSA stands for, if Republicans
can start rebranding that clever DSA name to what I
believe is the real thing going on here is the
divided states of America. We have divided states of America candidates, right?
(24:18):
And if the media loves DSA, it's a very clever brand.
DSAC is a short acronym for Divided States of America candidates, D-S-A-C.
Newt Gingrich two days ago on your show said Republicans
have to be extra clear, extra loud, extra persistent to
(24:40):
get our messages across. booth in November, even Democratic voters,
and they ask themselves, do I want to live in
the United States of America or the divided states of America?
I think the answer is clear. We want to live
in the United States of America. And I think a
(25:03):
lot of people have trouble understanding the systems, capitalism, socialism.
I'm 45 and I have trouble, even at my age,
understanding all the nuances.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And this way, let me let me let me help
you out. and I'm going to help you out with information.
We put prominently on my website, Hannity.com, everything that this
radical DSA is in this DSA agenda. We have put
up all of the accomplishments that never get covered by
(25:35):
the abusively biased, corrupt legacy media mob. And we put
that up there. You can download it, you can print it,
and you could carry it in your pocket. And whoever
you talk to, You can literally convince them your vote matters.
I'm asking everybody in every state. I don't care if
(25:55):
your state is super red. I am saying assume that
your vote will determine the outcome of this election. If
everybody in this large audience, coast to coast, in all
50 states, on 760 great radio stations, if you all
do that, We can change the course of history and
(26:19):
shock the world in 32 days. You're going to hear
at some point the words Fox News can now project.
What will be said after that is up to all
of you. And I implore you all to do your part.
Pearl is in Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Pearl.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh, this is Pearl. Hannah used to be a regular
caller to this radio program. God rest her soul. She
passed away. She was a Holocaust survivor. and Pearl is
her daughter. How are you?
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I'm fine. It's a pleasure to speak with you this afternoon.
I'm very fearful of three things. The midterm elections are
very crucial to the state of Israel, not only to
Jewish people, but Christians, all races and religions. I'm fearful
because more Americans are joining the Democratic Socialist Party. They
(27:11):
want to defund support to Israel, and they want to
defund military support to Israel without having any knowledge of
the history of the Middle East. Israel is the only
democratic state in the region and our only ally, and
it'll be a disaster. So as a daughter of Holocaust survivors,
(27:32):
and in memory of my mother, Hannah, I want to
urge your listeners to make sure they vote in November
and contact their families and friends to let them know
how important this is. Those residents who spent winter in
Florida or elsewhere need to get an absentee ballot. And
I'm not confident in that system, but as Netanyahu said
(27:55):
at the UN, we have no choice. You must.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
We have no choice. I will tell you, and I'm
going to say this, Pearl, I'm just short on time.
I miss your mom, by the way, and I'm so
glad you're doing well. This alliance between Donald Trump And
Bibi Netanyahu is the most lethal, effective force for Western
(28:20):
civilization that we have. And the people of Israel, please
vote for Bibi. And the people in this country, give
Donald Trump majorities in the House and Senate. Pearl, your
mother was a sweetheart to us. We love her. We
miss her. And we're so glad you're doing well and
hope you'll check in with us often. Pearl, God bless
you always.
Our two Sean Hannity show on a Friday toll free.
It's eight hundred nine four one. Sean, if you want
to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
So we're just 32 short days away from, I think,
what is the single most important midterm election in our lifetime?
I think it's it is. There's never been a clearer
choice election in our lifetime. We're about to be joined
by a DSA guest, and I just want to see
what they really believe and try and get to the
(00:31):
bottom of it. The fact that Hassan Piker is now
saying that Telerico, he's going to make sure he votes
his way. I'm expecting a tape any day that will
come out that will be so damning on Telerico. It'll
be very interesting. The fact that any Democrat would ever,
you know, campaign with Hassan Piker. you know, lamenting that
(00:52):
Trump is still alive and defending Luigi Mangione. And, you know,
if you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill Rick Scott. And,
you know, how many times has he made comments that
I view personally as anti-Semitic, blaming Jewish groups for getting
him banned from the UK and Israel doesn't have a
right to exist. Words that came out of his mouth.
(01:14):
Lindsey Graham was an exceptionally demonic entity. displays the newspaper
showing the Twin Towers burning on 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
The streets should run red with the blood of capitalists,
you know, all comments that he made. And it goes
(01:36):
on and on and not loving America.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I hate America so much. We are the bad guys.
We are the bad guys. Why do I hate America?
Because I recognize accurate history. Oh, God, I hate America
so much.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Hate america so much sometimes it's like so stupid dude
god i hate america so much bro i hate this
country dude i i hate america so much dude oh
god i just i hate america so much so nasty
so nasty dude i hate america so much i hate
(02:12):
coming back dude i hate america dude why do i
hate america by the way because of america's continued allegiance
with israel i hate america so much hate america so
much i just oh god we're we're a nation of
bloodthirsty monster god i hate america so much sometimes dude
(02:32):
oh my god it's just so nasty Just a bunch
of perverted fascist fat in this country.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Just bloodthirsty. They have it. Anyway, joining us now to
discuss debate is Ravi Gupta. He is a former Obama
administration official, author of The Invisible List, also worked for
David Axelrod and Susan Rice before co-founding Arena, where he
has been involved in the training of more than 7000
(03:01):
Democratic operatives and joins us today to discuss, to debate
the midterms of the DSA. And we appreciate you coming
on the program. And I don't think you're a big
fan of mine, are you?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, one thing to clarify, Sean, first of all, thank
you for having me on. My dad is a very
loyal listener.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm back to even when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That's good for your dad. I wish your dad was
on the program because I think we're going to disagree
a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, one thing to clarify is I'm not a DSA person.
I'm actually a huge enemy of the DSA. I've written
a lot about why I think Kassan Piker is a
terrible influence on the party and have been really trying
to fight a lot of pitched battles about trying to
exercise him from my side of the aisle. I think
he's crazy. I grew up in Staten Island. I think
(03:50):
his views on 9-11 and among other things are really dangerous.
And anti-American. So I think you and I are aligned
on that.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So then why would why would why is every elected
senator but for John Fetterman unwilling to take him on?
He just went to Washington about a week and a
half ago and he walked away with endorsements. Kirsten Gillibrand,
Chuck Schumer promised pledged 10 million dollars for his campaign
in Michigan. But they are unwilling to take on the
(04:21):
radicalism that has taken over their party. Now, as left
as I thought Obama was and will spread the wealth around,
I never and I didn't like Obama's associations with Reverend Wright, G.D.
America or Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn. But I don't
think I've ever heard him talk like this. but nor
(04:42):
am I hearing him condemn it either.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, I think like, you know, one thing I've seen
that gives me a little bit of hope is that
once the primaries were over and you have some of
these general election candidates like Roy Cooper or John Ossoff
and all that, those people aren't spending any time with
Piker talking about Piker. And in the case of Ossoff,
for example, when asked about Piker, he condemned him clearly.
(05:06):
I wish I saw more clarity from Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan.
I think he's spent a lot of time having to
distance himself a little bit from Piker. But, you know,
I think it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, he's he's actually been lying. He's taken on the
AOC playbook, which is, oh, no, that was crazy. Woke
point 1.0, just like Telefrico was, you know, defending for
the longest time six genders on biblical grounds and God
is non-binary on biblical grounds and a welcome mat at
the border and biological men playing women's sports. And now, oh,
(05:42):
all of us. Well, my math was wrong on the
six genders. Oh, I misspoke on that. But he defended
it for the longest time. So I think what's happened
is there's got to be internal polling showing that Democrats,
that messaging, the DSA messaging isn't working. So they're pulling
back from it and they're just hiding who they really are.
It's not that their hearts have changed or their opinions
have changed.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Well, I think, you know, I allow for people to
change their positions in politics, you know, like Katie.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
All right, Robbie, come on. I've been at this game
too long. I allow for people to evolve and change
their positions, too. But when you're defending two weeks ago
the position on six genders, God is non-binary, welcome out
at the border, vegan campaign. No oil in an oil state.
Biological men and women's sports. And then, you know, weeks,
(06:31):
you know, two weeks, you know, later you say, you know,
I was wrong on that. Cut the crap. That is
called an election year conversion. True or false?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well, I think like, well, what election year conversions are
OK and not? You know, J.D. Vance was calling Trump Hitler.
Mike Rogers was saying that January 6th was.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That goes back to 2016. OK, that was a long
time ago. But now you want to take it about this.
I am saying three weeks ago, Talafrico was defending all this. Obviously,
the polling shows he can't win if he defends it.
So he's changed. So that's an election year conversion. All
you want to do is pivot every question I'm asking
(07:12):
about your Democratic Party to a Republican. Is James Talafrico,
is this an election year conversion? Is he being phony?
And I'm going to give you a little hint. I
would expect a tape coming out in short order that
will expose him as doing this only for the election.
But I'm really with you guys in real life. So state,
(07:33):
you know, you might want to protect yourself here and
your credibility. I'm helping you out because of.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Your father directly like. I think election year conversions, you know,
maybe I'm cynical about politics, but I think people just
follow the incentives. And I think, you know, although I
hadn't seen Tallarico make that statement about six genders in
the past two weeks, I know like recently, maybe about
a year ago or maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, he was he was defending it up until two
weeks ago when he backed off it. And and, you know,
for example, for Assam Piker to say that it was
Abdul El-Sayed that invited him on the campaign trail and
he was hanging out with him all the time. Oh,
he's just some California podcaster. Isn't that an election year
conversion also?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, well, you and I agree on Abdullah's side for sure.
I think one question I have for you is.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So if you're in Michigan... If you're at, well, if
you get a show, you can ask me questions and
invite me on as a guest. If you're in Michigan,
are you voting for Mike Rogers or Abdul El-Sayed?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, I think you've got two people flip-flopped on very
major issues.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I didn't ask you. If you had to pull the
lever for one, who would you vote for?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I would be voting for Abdul El-Sayed because I think
this Iran war is a disaster, as Mike Rogers is flip-flopping, too.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Is the world better and safer without a nuclear-armed Iran
for our children and grandchildren?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, I think this war has made them more likely
to pursue it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I didn't ask you about the war. The world is
safer because Donald Trump is preventing Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon. That was a good thing for the world, right?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
No, I think he's made them more likely to have
a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think you're nuts. If they can't enrich uranium, how
are they going to build a nuclear weapon?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, I think right now they've discovered a source of
leverage they didn't have before, which is their ability to
block the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, they're not blocking the Strait of Hormuz. We're back
to pre-war levels in terms of the oil getting through,
starting with the southern lane and a new lane that
they opened up. So that's not true.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Well, this morning I thought it was about 60% of
pre-war levels. And I think one of the reasons why
we be fairly certain that that impact is hitting us
at home is looking at the price of diesel and gas,
which as.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
A former Obama and Axelrod guy, let me ask you this.
Cause the DSA has still on their website. I've been
predicting they're going to take it down anytime soon, but
they want to eliminate the U S Senate. Uh, they
want to pack the courts. More Democrats are running on
that platform than any other. On the DSA agenda, amnesty
(09:57):
for illegals, abolish borders, end deportation, abolish ICE. They want
to defund the Department of War. They want to eliminate
cash bail, abolish prisons, abolish police, public ownership of corporations.
They want a wealth tax. And then they want cradle
to grave, womb to the tomb, Green New Deal, guaranteed daycare.
(10:19):
Guaranteed government job, guaranteed government salary, guaranteed government healthy food.
Is this stuff you support?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
No, I think.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But that is the power base. If you look at
who is now in charge of the Democratic Party, how
come no elected Democratic senator will condemn that agenda? And
why are they supporting candidates that support it? Why are
they giving money to candidates that support it?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, I think if you look at people like who's
in the statewide elected offices in the Democratic Party, it's
people like Roy Cooper. You know, it's people like.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Even you can keep mentioning Roy Cooper, Sherrod Brown and
John Ossoff all you want. Do you believe they're going
to be like John Fetterman and take on the radicals
that really control the party? And that would be AOC,
the squad, Pocahontas. Grandpa Bernie, Mom Donnie. I mean, look
(11:13):
at what's happening in New York, Kathy Hochul. Every Democrat
bows at the altar of Mom Donnie and AOC, don't they?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I don't think that's true. You know, I don't agree
with that. I think like, you know, that might be a.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You don't agree with that? Is Kathy Hochul not kicking
Mom Donnie, kissing Mom Donnie's ass?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, she's the governor of New York. She has to
work with the mayor of New York. But I think
if you look at somebody like Rob Sand running in Iowa...
When he's asked about the DSA, he roundly condemns it.
When he's asked about Hassan Piker, he condemns it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And do you think if he got to the U.S. Senate,
would he join John Fetterman in vocal condemnation of them?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I would imagine so. I mean, when he's asked about it,
he's very.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, they won't. Chuck Schumer hasn't. Hakeem Jeffries hasn't. Only
one U.S. senator has done it. And the reason they
won't is because they're going to decide, meaning the radical
base that controls the.
The entire party. Now it's been taken over by the radicals.
They're going to vote for whoever they want for chairman.
They're going to, they're going to, they're going to tow
(12:10):
the line and they're going to get in line or
they know there'll be their, their lives in Washington will
be short. They'll be primaried and removed from office.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, I think the good test here was Hassan Piker, right?
When Piker made those ridiculous comments about Jews with the many,
many ridiculous comments, but most recently when he made a
very threatening comment about Jews deserving violence. Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer,
Alyssa Slotkin, they all came out and condemned him for it.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And why is the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee giving this
guy tens of millions of dollars?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Well, you're talking about Abdul Syed, right? I was talking
about Piker.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, he's best friends with Piker.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Well, I don't see them as best friends, but they're
closer than I'd like them to be. And that's one
of the reasons why I've been quite critical of Abdul Syed,
and I did not back him in the primary.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know, it's just very interesting to me because I
actually think David Axelrod's a smart guy. I don't think
he's dumb. And and I think Obama was way more
politically skillful than than this new cast of characters that
we have. And I think there was a Bill Clinton.
The era of big government is over. End of welfare
as we know it. That party is done. It's gone.
(13:23):
It is extinct. You know that your party has changed
and shifted dramatically, right? The only reason that Republicans even
have a shot in this midterm election is because of
those nutcases that control your party.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Well, I think all the polling seems to suggest that
it's the Republicans who are in trouble. I mean, we're
talking about races like Texas, where Trump won Texas by 16.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And we're talking about races like Minnesota. And we're talking
about Mike Rogers likely winning in Michigan. And we're talking
about New Hampshire. Sununu's making a strong play there. So,
you know, it works both ways.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well, just today, the, you know, the Republican main pack
just pulled out of North Carolina and are investing in Kansas,
you know, which is a district that Trump won at 14.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, you got a lunatic running there that wants people
in Kansas to repent for driving in her car. And
what's the other thing he's against? I think eating meat
or something.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
What are you talking about, Hamilton?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That would be the mega church pastor guy that's running
your Democratic candidate.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, I think like, you know, the fact that all
of these races are in play, I think tells us something.
Plus all the public polling we're seeing, even from Fox News, right?
Like these polls are telling us a pretty consistent message,
which is voters are unhappy with this administration.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I've got to run. But listen, I do appreciate your time.
Will you please do me a favor? Will you please
tell your dad thank you? and that I'm going to
tell you that I have a message for him. I'm
going to work with him to try to fix you.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, thank you, sir. It's my pleasure, and I really
thank you for welcoming me on your podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You're very welcome on my radio show, but it's okay.
I do have a lot of jobs. It's easy to
get confused. Ravi Gupta, former Obama administration official, author of
The Invisible List, 800-941-SHAWN. This Friday, you want to be
a part of the program. So as I said at
the start of the show, I was so mad yesterday.
(15:20):
I went on the road with J.D. Bad weather came in.
Couldn't fly. We were grounded. And there was no place
where I could do the radio show. I don't want
to be off the air 33 days before an election.
And I just it just is what it is. And but,
you know, I didn't vent too much. I'm grateful to,
(15:41):
you know, Linda pulling it together. Mark Simone coming in.
I'm very, very grateful. One of the things, Linda, I
wanted to talk about. So there was yesterday in the
New York Post an article how a NASCAR truck driver
has been ordered to pay eight hundred and fifty grand
for an affair that she had with a married man
(16:01):
that wound up ending his 17 year marriage. Now, this
is pretty this is a pretty interesting law against ruining
a marriage. Now, Tracy Hughes claims that in the 2024
lawsuit that this liaison, if you will, with her husband,
(16:23):
that her husband had with Cobb, caused the previously happily
married couple to split in 2021. And the 53-year-old veteran
racer willfully, intentionally, deliberately seduced, enticed, and alienated the affections
of her husband, according to the ex-wife. All right, so
(16:44):
I don't usually get into people's personal lives. But you
know something? The more I thought about this, I'm like,
why shouldn't people that are responsible, I mean, we have
pretty much all over the country this thing called no-fault divorce.
And I guess it would just clog up the whole
court system. I guess that's probably the reason. And they
(17:07):
come up with no-fault divorce, no-fault, no-fault. I mean, a
person could be a drug addict, alcoholic, you know, serial cheater,
you know, everything that would ruin a marriage if you
made a checklist what would destroy somebody's marriage. And I'm like, wow,
they're actually holding people accountable for doing that. I wanted
to get your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Well, what's your thought on it? You think it's good
that she's.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Being taken to the cleaners? Why are you flipping it
on me? I have my thoughts, which is why I
was going to bring it up.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Unlike liberals, I have a little bit of leeway on
this show. So I figured I would ask you. I'm
curious where, because for you to even bring this up
is interesting. So I'm just curious where you stand.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What do you mean, unlike liberals?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Why?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because I keep my foot on their neck and make
them answer my question.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Well, you always say the same thing. Exactly. If you
want to ask me a question, get your own show.
I'll come on as a guest, yada, yada, yada. But
I happen to work here. So I think I have
a little bit of leeway.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
OK, so what's your opinion?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I'm asking you your opinion. That's why I said that
was the whole point of that diatribe was that I
was going.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
To find it fascinating is the answer. I think that
if there is fault, there ought to be accountability. I
think it gets very difficult in the court system. And
I think the reason that the default laws have gone
to no fault is because then the judges don't want
(18:25):
to have to sort out the mess. And then have
to make a decision, you know, who caused what problem.
So I understand why we're here.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
She's a NASCAR driver, the woman.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Who is the NASCAR driver?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The woman.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I've never heard of her before.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
So this woman is a NASCAR driver.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She's a NASCAR truck driver. There's a little difference.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
And she had an affair with somebody who worked in
the pit with her. Is that who it was?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Anyway, so she.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, no, I'm asking because there's a point.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
She had a relationship with a married man and a
17 year marriage. All right. Race driver Jennifer. I'll say
it again. Jennifer Jo Cobb ordered to pay Tracy Hughes
damages for her alleged months long relationship with Hughes's husband.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
He's a spotter, Clayton Hughes. But what is a spotter
in NASCAR? What does the spotter do?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I have no idea. Does it matter? Why is that
even relevant?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
I'm telling you why it's relevant because people hooking up
at work, if they work together, this happens all the time.
So if they're going to set a precedent and say, oh,
you got busy with your coworker and you ended their marriage,
now you're going to be liable to their spouse because
you decided to go to the break room and have
something other than snacks. If you know what I'm saying, then,
(19:50):
you know, now this is going to be a very
different thing because how many people, I am very informed
about this. I work in a corporate office. Do you
know how many people I know that have had affairs
in corporate offices against their spouses? Like in her, in
her situation, this is her office. So she was with
somebody every day working with her on the track. And
(20:11):
she was like, huh, you know what? I'm interested in
more than his spotting. I may take him up on this.
And so that happens. And now the wife gets to
sue her because her husband couldn't keep it in his pants.
I mean, not for nothing. That sounds like a you problem.
You know, if your marriage is tight, your marriage is tight.
The one who cheated.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You're saying the person that is cheated on is the
one that should take responsibility.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Am I hearing you right?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
No, I'm saying that the one who is cheated on
has two options. You can stay with your husband and
you can work it out, or you can leave your
husband because he's a dirty dog, which obviously most women.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Would choose the latter. that destroys the marriage. You're going
to be, you can be, and the other person.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
But she didn't destroy the marriage. The husband destroyed the
marriage because she's not even in the marriage.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They both did.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
She's the side piece.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
As far as I'm concerned, they both are equally guilty.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Right, but she's the side piece. She didn't take any
oath to this woman. She's not married to her.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Yeah, I have seen more accountability for Snuggles the dog
in Arizona. who didn't even do anything wrong, than I
have for 90% of the other crimes that are committed
in the United States of America. The idea that this
woman is the side piece and she's got to pay
off the wife, that's just a bridge too far.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
In my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think he's first and foremost more responsible because he
made the pledge. I agree with that part completely.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Super weird.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's just interesting because you don't see this anymore. No,
not at all. Let us say hello to Brian is
in Alabama. Brian, happy Friday. You're on The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Hello, Sean. It's an honor to be on your show.
Hello from Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes, sir. Glad you called.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Trump is getting ready to speak this afternoon.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
And I'm here to support him. I've got my red
Make America Great hat again.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Are you online yet? Are you online with the people
waiting to get into the venue or where are you?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I'm actually having lunch before we go over there. But
it's at the campus of University of South Alabama. Go Jaguars.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Listen, I got to tell you, I thought he was
right on his game last night. I love the fact
that the president is fighting hard for the midterms. And
if he's willing to go out there and fight hard,
I hope all of you will do your part. That's
the only thing I can say. He's going to do, what,
35 cities? And he's going to fight for every congressional seat,
every Senate seat. And, you know, if you're looking for perfect,
(22:49):
you're not going to find it in any party or
any individual. You know, we are you know, we all
fall short of the of the glory of God. However,
it's certainly better than DSA madness. It's better than the squad.
It's better than Abdul El-Sayed and Telefrico and all these
Democrats that dare not criticize the power base of their party. Anyway, Brian,
(23:13):
you have fun today, man. Have a good time. Appreciate
you checking in with us. Back to our busy phones.
Toll free is 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a
part of the program. New Jersey, Richard next. Happy Friday, Richard,
on The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Hey, Sean. Thanks for having me on the call on
your show today. It's a real honor to speak with you.
I have a really important topic to discuss with you,
and I'm calling today because I believe I have a
solution to help all Republican Party candidates across the United
States of America with a strategic phrase that can turn
(23:51):
the tide of the election.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Let's hear it. I'm all ears, sir.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right. So if Republicans go on the offense and
change the narrative about what DSA stands for, if Republicans
can start rebranding that clever DSA name to what I
believe is the real thing going on here is the
divided states of America. We have divided states of America candidates, right?
(24:18):
And if the media loves DSA, it's a very clever brand.
DSAC is a short acronym for Divided States of America candidates, D-S-A-C.
Newt Gingrich two days ago on your show said Republicans
have to be extra clear, extra loud, extra persistent to
(24:40):
get our messages across. booth in November, even Democratic voters,
and they ask themselves, do I want to live in
the United States of America or the divided states of America?
I think the answer is clear. We want to live
in the United States of America. And I think a
(25:03):
lot of people have trouble understanding the systems, capitalism, socialism.
I'm 45 and I have trouble, even at my age,
understanding all the nuances.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And this way, let me let me let me help
you out. and I'm going to help you out with information.
We put prominently on my website, Hannity.com, everything that this
radical DSA is in this DSA agenda. We have put
up all of the accomplishments that never get covered by
(25:35):
the abusively biased, corrupt legacy media mob. And we put
that up there. You can download it, you can print it,
and you could carry it in your pocket. And whoever
you talk to, You can literally convince them your vote matters.
I'm asking everybody in every state. I don't care if
(25:55):
your state is super red. I am saying assume that
your vote will determine the outcome of this election. If
everybody in this large audience, coast to coast, in all
50 states, on 760 great radio stations, if you all
do that, We can change the course of history and
(26:19):
shock the world in 32 days. You're going to hear
at some point the words Fox News can now project.
What will be said after that is up to all
of you. And I implore you all to do your part.
Pearl is in Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Pearl.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh, this is Pearl. Hannah used to be a regular
caller to this radio program. God rest her soul. She
passed away. She was a Holocaust survivor. and Pearl is
her daughter. How are you?
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I'm fine. It's a pleasure to speak with you this afternoon.
I'm very fearful of three things. The midterm elections are
very crucial to the state of Israel, not only to
Jewish people, but Christians, all races and religions. I'm fearful
because more Americans are joining the Democratic Socialist Party. They
(27:11):
want to defund support to Israel, and they want to
defund military support to Israel without having any knowledge of
the history of the Middle East. Israel is the only
democratic state in the region and our only ally, and
it'll be a disaster. So as a daughter of Holocaust survivors,
(27:32):
and in memory of my mother, Hannah, I want to
urge your listeners to make sure they vote in November
and contact their families and friends to let them know
how important this is. Those residents who spent winter in
Florida or elsewhere need to get an absentee ballot. And
I'm not confident in that system, but as Netanyahu said
(27:55):
at the UN, we have no choice. You must.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
We have no choice. I will tell you, and I'm
going to say this, Pearl, I'm just short on time.
I miss your mom, by the way, and I'm so
glad you're doing well. This alliance between Donald Trump And
Bibi Netanyahu is the most lethal, effective force for Western
(28:20):
civilization that we have. And the people of Israel, please
vote for Bibi. And the people in this country, give
Donald Trump majorities in the House and Senate. Pearl, your
mother was a sweetheart to us. We love her. We
miss her. And we're so glad you're doing well and
hope you'll check in with us often. Pearl, God bless
you always.
