Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show,
America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, Day number twenty seven, twenty seven.
Just just into our newsroom, a plane has crashed into
the World Trade Center. Another apparently that was another plane seized.

(00:27):
An airplane has crashed into the World Trade Center lost.
There appears to be a gaping hole. Way there goes, there, goes,
there goes here, it goes full side has collapsed at
the funding at collas our Morgaine by she to airplanes

(01:00):
have crashed into the World Trade Center. This We're not
going to be cowered by it that We're not afraid
of feeful friend the freedom loving nations of the world
stand by our side, and stars rouble to have the red,
white and blue whiz. We're not glad to sue Way

(01:26):
proud to be a part of its country Jee meetings.
I think about the families children to the play. Freedom
itself was attacked and freedom will be de fantasy East
just when your league, it might be, just when your

(01:50):
lead someone raised den to raise the resolve of our
marignation is being tested. She stands. I pray didn't hear
the water United States from the doge If our courages

(02:11):
here I mean she n the riding. Then we will
not forget the twenty eight hundred people place and fire.
Not only our heroes at the beginning, but they're still heroes.
Mises with We're gonna come out of this emotionally stronger,

(02:34):
and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling
of our time. By the bridge of guys support anyone
ever expected over in this tree. They messed with the
wrong city, they missed with the wrong station. And I

(02:54):
just don't want people to forget. They all have to
send some duty to protect us. All step fast in
our determination. Someone the rest of the country now understand
who the true defenders are the Irish Hills Korressian and

(03:20):
make her legs and reverse Blessia. We see we made
a look of the Irish inforce. We see stand make
the blessings of Saint Patrick, the God blessed Ireland and
God blessed the United States of America. She stands now

(03:46):
America's embracing a new ethic and a new creed. Let's
roll the phrase New York's Finest and New York's Bravest
mean something now, doesn't This is a time to reflect
and be thankful for where we are today. Through we
will rebuild New York City, She stills. Yet after America

(04:13):
was attacked, it was as if our entire country looked
into a mirror and saw our better selves. When evil
calls itself a martyr. Here we are twenty years later,
and look what Joe Biden just did. I can't even
wrap my mind around this. He abandoned fellow Americans behind
enemy lines. And now the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, we'll plot, plan,

(04:38):
scheme their next attacks on this country, along with ISIS
or ISIS k al Qaeda, and the you know, all
these other networks. Eight hundred nine for one sean, all
of you, I'm sure remember where you are. I know
where I was. We have some poll numbers coming out.
I want to give you one in particular in the
state of Georgia. Herschel Walker, who I have personally endorsed.

(05:02):
Unless it hurts him that I'll take it back. Herschel
Walker is up. He has seventy six percent in the
latest Trafalgar Pole. That's Robert Kahley's pole of supporters Republican
supporters for the primary. And I know that there's some
people he's not going to win the general election. I'm like, yes,
he is. I have every competency will I'm gonna tell

(05:22):
you one of the reasons why he's one of the
nicest people you'll ever meet. And when he sets his
mind to something, I've never seen anybody like him. When
he set his mind to be in the best football
player he could be. Look look at what he accomplished
when he set his mind to getting in the octagon
and the you know and doing mma fighting at his age,
I couldn't believe it, and he was great at it.

(05:43):
When he sets his mind to doing, you know, fifteen
hundred push ups a day, three thousand setups a day
and does it every single day. He I mean, that's
in saying this is why I am a conservative. Let
me explain it to you as he did on this program,
as he did on Hannity of the TV program Anyway.
To go over this and some polls about Joe Biden
that have just come out of Matt Towery, syndicated columnist

(06:05):
also an attorney, and he runs the Insider Advantage polling company.
Robert Kaheley of the Trafalgar Group, both of them correct
in their models for twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty, I
don't think there's any other poster in America. They can
say that maybe Scott Rasmus some personally, I'm not sure.
He was pretty close, I know in twenty sixteen. Anyway, guys,

(06:27):
welcome back to the program, Thanks for being with us.
Let's go over this Georgia polcause we're looking at the house. Okay,
I would argue it's probably easier for Republicans to take
control of the House. But if you want to look
at a bell weather for twenty twenty four, In twenty
twenty two Senate races have taken place in Florida, in Georgia,
herschel Walker, in South Carolina, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Ohio, Arizona, Nevada,

(06:56):
any other swing states that we want to look at here,
and I think would be a pretty big indicator of
what twenty twenty four will look like. Um let's start
with you, Robert Kaheley. You did this pole on on
herschel Walker. I knew it was popular, but that blew
me away. Yeah. Absolutely, you know this pole is a

(07:18):
function of name recognition, and it just shows you the
advantage herschel starts with before he spent the nickel. He
starts at this kind of name idea. This is a
major hurdle for the opponents to even get close to him.
You know, one of the advantages Crump had was when
he ran, everybody knew who he was. So when you
can start a race with everybody knowing your name, it's great.

(07:39):
And with the positives to go with his name recognition
for also great benefit. This is a great place to
start from. It'll be hard to stay there when people
start throwing arrows at him. But what do you mean
when they start throwing arrows. They've already been throwing arrows
all over the place at him. And I don't think
any of it's gonna stick either, because Herschel just zoods

(08:00):
you know, kindness, a gentle guy, but a tough guy. Well,
attacking them in the media is one thing, but when
they start putting in TV ads and it starts to
disseminate more to average people, Uh, it'll have some costs.
But I think the Herschel, you're right when they when
they realize what kind of a person he is. Uh,
they're gonna some of these gonna be very hollow. But

(08:21):
you know the other side. Obviously if people voted for Warnock,
so they're wanted to believe a lot of stuff. Who
uh be prepared for it to get tighter in a
general election. But I think it's a great place to
start and every advantage and it's certainly gonna help maybe
even clear the fields a little bit. Your take on this,

(08:43):
Matt Towery. But the funny thing is both of you
are from Georgia. No Georgia politics better than any people
that I know, Matt tower your take. You you served
in the Georgia legislature, and you also were on the
ticket to be lieutenant governor at a time that no
Republican was gonna win state right white office. I think
I might have aged you as maybe an early bird

(09:03):
special diner at this point, But that didn't mean any
offense by it, that's all right. Yeah, By the way, Robert,
it's an inside joke between me and him. I was
just so mean to him. I just now that was awful.
It's such a low blow. No, it's I totally deserved.
I live in Saint Petersburg, Florida now and I like
to go eat early, and you seem to always call

(09:25):
me right when I'm taking my first bite. It's like
six o'clock and I'm like, you're at dinner. I'll call
him at ten and he doesn't pick up. Oh I didn't.
I fell asleep. I didn't see your call, Mike. What
time do you go to bed? Seven thirty? Well, we
don't stay. I'll stay until two o'clock in the morning
or three sean, so you know it is it's actually
three or four, but who's counting? Yeah, exactly. So Georgia

(09:48):
race for herschel Walker. He starts with so many advantages,
as Robert has already alluded to. He has his great name,
idea idea, he has a large number of people who
still remember what he did the state of Georgia, putting
Georgia football really on the map with coach Bence Dewey.
So I do believe these numbers are totally correct. What
I think has been the most stunning thing about herschel

(10:10):
Walker running SEAWAN is how the Republican establishment has tried
every way in the world to stop him. Here you
have a candidate with natural name, who does a great
job on television, who's a statewide hero, and instead of
embracing him, they've done everything but throw the kitchen sink
at him. Use a lot of these political insiders in

(10:33):
Georgia Republicans, and I might might admit also some of
the National Republicans who are supposed to be trying to
help elect someone to the U. S. Senate. So not
only does he have to fight CNN, the AJC, the
Associated Press, but he's got to get over his own
Republican party. They can't recognize they have a gift in
their hand, and they won't take advantage of it, you know,
I mean, that's that is the most amazing thing. Quick

(10:55):
break more of the posters on the other side. Matt Towery,
Robert Kaheley eight hundred and nine four one sean. Want
to be a part of the program. We'll get to
your calls next half hour. Eight hundred and nine four
one sean. You want to be a part of the program. Oh,
I'm gonna tell you about a Tunnel to Towers Foundation
their benefit concert commemorating what happened on nine to eleven,
two thousand and one. If in fact, you get some

(11:16):
time you want to go out and have a great time,
We'll tell you all about it. America will never forget
forget this is the Sean Hannity Show. And as we continue,

(12:01):
our posters Matt Taori, Robert Kahal or the Trafalgar Group
join us. All of these states are gonna matter and
we'll see. I get the feeling. Reagan famously said, are
you better off than you are? Four years ago? The
answer was in a you know, overwhelming Hell know what,
We're not better off. And now the question is, after
eight months of Joe Biden, can you name a single

(12:22):
thing that he's done that's worked, because Robert Kahley, I cannot.
The more recent poll that you have done with Trafalgar.
I mean when you have, you know, confidence or no
confidence in one party or another. And Joe Biden and
the survey here, I mean not confident at all in
his handling of Afghanistan. That's okay, eighty three percent total.

(12:44):
When you say not confident at all, which is seventy
four percent, not very confident in eight point seven percent,
that's eighty three percent. You don't get consensus like that
in polls very often. You really don't. And there's a
there's a growing consensus. It's like there was a separation
for a while where Biden was a little more personally

(13:04):
popular than his policies, but he is sunk down and
met those policies at this point after taking such so
many hits with Afghanistan, and you know, if he keeps
going this right, he could be less popular than Kamala Harris. Dude.
You know, it's interesting in front of mine, that's that's
in a similar business in the focus group. Business actually

(13:26):
did a focus group. There's still a perception that Joe
is a nice guy, but he's really cognitively deficient. That
was the headline out of that. And I'm like, why
are people believing he's such a nice guy but he
just doesn't know what the hell he's doing. You know,
I don't even think that's the right question to ask,
isn't there? Is he up to the job? How is
he performing? You know? Great him on the economy, great

(13:47):
him on immigration, great hum on energy, great him on
the inflation, great hum on Afghanistan. And I don't see
one area I'd gladly tell you if I saw one
that Joe Biden where I look at and say he's
done a good job. I don't see it. Matt Well,
I'll tell you who he's doing a good job for.

(14:08):
He's doing a good job for the people in the
White House and behind the scenes who want this country
to radically change very quickly. And he's a perfect conduit
for them to implement anything they want to implement, and
they're doing it day after day after day. Now the
American people obviously don't like it. His polling numbers are low,

(14:32):
and I would submit to you that if you had
more polisters who actually poll accurately in this country, his
approval rating would be closer to about forty one, between
thirty nine and forty one, and not even float anywhere
near the mid forties. But we don't have that in
this country. We only have a few, Robert being one
of the other ones who does. And so we know

(14:52):
that this president is not resonating with the public. He's
losing that suburban vote that he picked up in the
twenty twenty election. He's certainly galvanizing the Trump vote against him.
And I think you're you're going to see some movement
even amongst some demographics that normally support Democrats, who are
not going to like this government overreach, because now it's

(15:12):
overreaching right to them, including the new mandate with regard
to the vaccine. Well said now we're going to put
the Trafalgar Pole with the Convention of State's Action Committee
on Hannity dot Com. Will tweet it out also if
you're on atch on Hannity of Twitter. Even Democrats think
the Biden's withdrawal has made it more likely that we'll

(15:33):
see another nine to eleven style terror attack. More Democrats
think it's more likely. That's a disaster. But we'll put
the entire poll up on Hannity dot Com. Matt Towery,
thank you, Robert Kaheiley, Trafalgar, thank you. Eight hundred and
nine for one. Shawn is our number, driving though liberals nuts.

(16:02):
Sean Hannity is back on the radio right now. All right, listen,
there is twenty five now to the top of the hour.
Eight hundred nine Pool one, Shawn our number. We'll get
to your calls in a minute. First, I want to
remind everybody if you're in the New York area, there
is a Tunnel to Towers Foundation benefit concert commemorating the

(16:22):
twenty years since the nine to eleven attacks at the
Trade Center and anyway. They have an incredible concert for
you know. I always quote our friend the CEO, founder
of Tunnel to Towers Frank Siller, who's been on this program.
We're gonna honor our fallen soldiers in a truly reverent way.
Remember what happened on September eleventh, and are many great heroes,

(16:44):
including my own brothers Stephen, who paid the ultimate sacrifice
that day. Anyway, it's a tribute benefit concert and you
know sponsored Home Depot Foundation gmc verison. Thanks to all
of them, iHeart stations around the country will be carrying
it and a lot of great people are going to
be associated with this. All proceeds will benefit the foundation.

(17:05):
They provide mortgage free homes to injured vets, first responders
gold Star families. And the great thing is if you're
in the New York area and you have nothing to
do this week, ND, well, guess what it's happening. We're
gonna play this song now. I love it. The video's phenomenal.
I Drive Your Truck, powerful song by Lee Bryce eighty nine,

(17:39):
Sense in the Estuary fifty bottle of Gaye rolling in
the floor, bo that dirty Braves camp on the day,
Don't tags hanging from the rearview, Old Spoken and Campbell
Foods and the Good Army shirt folding into bad This

burning every background in this town to find the field,

(18:34):
tearing up to all the pains, cloud up dust. Yes,
sometimes I drive your Truth. It's such an amazing song.
It's kind of great a company video to it. Um
lead Bryce. I watched your rise. I was a huge

(18:54):
fan from day one, and and I'm now watching your career.
I watched your career takeoff. I'm not watching it. I mean,
it's now been a while and I've never had a
chance to talk to you, never had a chance to
meet with you. And then I see you doing this
benefit concert and my only problem is I can't go
this weekend, which really sucked because I'd love to be
there with you and out in the crowd and just

(19:16):
having fun with you. You've got a great lineup of
stars that are going to be joining you, which is
incredible also and a real tribute to you. And you
know you have people like for example, Journey, the Chain Smokers,
the Steve Miller, Ben John Bogarty of Credence, Clearwater Revival,
and Wilson of Heart. You got our friend Lee Greenwood.

(19:38):
I can't even name everybody, and you've got surprise guests too.
Let's talk about how you got involved with Tunnel to Towers.
I mean, the whole story. I mean, first of all,
we all know what a great organization this is. And
you know, we all know Frank Siller. We know about
his brother Steven, who paid the ultimate sacrifice that day.
How'd you get hooked up with him? He's a great guy. Well,

(20:00):
and this man and being at a show actually recently
Frank and I got to be when I got to
really hear Frank's story and you know, talk to him
and that he actually uh reached out and I get
to you know, he's been doing his five hundred mile
walk to commemorate and h he's gonna finish up that
walk on on Saturday, and uh, I get to I
get to kind of do his last leg with him,
and so brillly honor to be a part of that

(20:21):
and to be a part of the Stars and Strings
and and uh, it's gonna be really really cool at
the rooftop appear seventeen Uh, and it's gonna be Darius
Rutger there's Zak Brown Band, Chris Young, and so it's
instead of a regular concert though, it's gonna be what
we call a you know, an end a round or
a writer's round and so or a guitar pool. And

(20:42):
so this is gonna be so special because you know,
this is a really a way to be able to
hear the song the songwriters and the singers, uh, and
the stories behind the songs, and I broke them down
kind of way and so um, it's really cool to
get back to those roots. But man, it's just it's
just honor, just an honor to be a part of
anything like this, and this is especially really cool. Tunnel

(21:07):
to Towers manage to star behind it so good to
leave behind it and just be a part of it
is just an honor. All the proceeds will benefit the foundation.
They provide mortgage free homes to injured vets, first responders,
gold Star families with young children as part of their
Smart Home program. They host programs such as the Fallen
first Responder Home Program, the gold Star Family Home Program.

(21:29):
You mentioned the annual Tunnel to Towers five K, which
retraces Stephen Siller's final steps as Brothers Final Steps and
Frank is walking five hundred miles through six states from
DC to Lower Manhattan and they never forget National Walk
a special commemoration of you know, the twentieth anniversary, and
I can't believe it's been twenty years since nine to eleven.

(21:51):
And you being a part of this makes it even
extra special. And the group of people that are performing
with you makes it extra special. And we're gonna put
all the detail hells up on my website, Hannity dot com. Uh,
you've got to be grateful to I mean, so happy
to be out in front of a crowd again. I'm
sure it's been a rough year for you. Yeah, you know,
the last going home two years now even you know,

(22:12):
time flies. Uh, it's been rough. But the last six
to eight weeks we've been we've been hitting it again
and there's been Uh, it's been really amazing to be
back out, you know, to see see faces and uh,
your voices singing back to you. That energy has just
been you know, that's what we live for, you know,
we we we lived to write music and inspires and
get people out there moving and and uh and moving

(22:33):
in some way. And uh, this should be a really
special show. Just a little different than people are used
to seeing. But most of the times they come out
of these kinds of shows going, man, that's one of
the coolest things they've seen because they've never seen anything
like it. It's at the rooftop here seventeen. It's in
New York City and you can get tickets. We'll put
the link on Hannity dot com. And we really appreciate

(22:55):
you being one of us, and I wish I could
make it with you. But next time you're in town,
I promise I will. You could just go to T
two T dot org, click on the donate send a
New York fi City firefighter whoever it happens to be.

eleven day dot org. All right, and anyway, we appreciate

(23:17):
everything that you're doing, and thanks so much for being
with us, Lee, Bryce can't wait to see absolutely you
know what. Hey, it's good to talk to you and
we'll want to do it again soon, big fan. Thank you.
Eight hundred nine four one. Sean, you want to be
a part of the program. All right, let's say hi
to Let's say out of Tricia in Texas on the

(23:37):
Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Tricia? Hi, Sean? How are you?
I'm good? How are you glad you called? I'm thank you.
I'm doing better now. I recently, my husband and I
recently had COVID and it was a very scary experience.
I was afraid that I might get it because and
I'm a candidate that can't have the vaccine UM. So
I wanted to be proactive and I reached out to

(23:59):
my doctor, my primary care doctor, and asked what the
treatment plan would be for me, and she said, there
is no treatment plan. You are you know, you take
over the counter medication unless and until UNI hospitalization. Well
that didn't sit well with me, so I tried to
scope out, you know, other other possibilities. Well, I got
COVID early August and U I contacted the frontline doctors

(24:24):
and fortunately they provided medication, but I had difficulty getting
my medication filled at the pharmacy. It was called in
on the fourteenth of August. We didn't get it until
the twentieth. Are I'm sorry. Our condition deteriorated rapidly. We
did get part of the order from the pharmacy and

(24:46):
that I think that helped somewhat but we didn't get
the eye remectin until the twentieth. When we got it,
you know, it was it was a very bad situation.
Our blood oxygen was in the eighties. We were we
were really sick and um. When we took the ivermectin
two days later, we were on our road to recovery.
And I knew I was going to make it. But Sean,

(25:06):
I'll tell you the one that won the Nobel Prize
for Medicine in twenty fifteen. I correct, yes, sir, absolutely,
one that I had designed and prescribed to human beings.
That one. I'm just making sure and it worked for me.
It worked for me. And I'm not anti vaccine at all.
I want I'm anti mandate vaccine, but I I you know,

(25:30):
if people want it, I want them to have it.
But there are a lot of people who can't have it.
And Sean, I just had to say, had it not
been for our daughter fighting for us to get this
medication out of the pharmacy, we wouldn't have gotten it.
Because when you're that sick, you can't be your own advocate.
You have to have someone supporting you and helping you.
And have we not had her, she went up to
the doctor's office to make sure that they got the

(25:51):
prescription into the pharmacy. They showed her the record that
they did, and then they gave her a hard copy prescription.
She took it to the pharmacy. Only then did they
fill the iverymicton um. She later went back to the
pharmacy with a card, a thank you card to them,
and wrote some um Bible um passages in the in

(26:12):
the card and said because they decided the day after
that they filled our prescription that they would no longer
feel imton she would if there. Gave them that card
and asked him to please do the right thing. That's
that's you know. I will tell you my personal choice.
And I've I've listened to all. I've listened to doctors
trained at Harvard, doctors trained at Yeah, we've had them

(26:33):
on this program. Uh, doctors with varying points of view.
The one thing I don't like is doing nothing. And
that's what a lot of states have been doing. Oh
you you test positive due contact tracing, go home, isolate
yourself from your family and um. If you get a fever,
take to title and all extra strength and get your
fever down and your oxygen level at some point drops

(26:55):
till the nine year below you need to probably go
to an emergency room. Problem with that is, by the
time you get to that point where your oxygen starts
to drop, that means your lungs have been severely damaged already.
A lot of the damage has been done. And the
issue of mitigating the impact of the virus, that is

(27:16):
where the therapeutics. I mean, it's it says so much
that for the first time, you know, we have Joe Biden.
It was almost a year ago, Donald Trump got regeneron
and that is the monoclonial antibodies and the lily as
a version of it. And I've only mentioned it for
the first time yesterday, and I know so many people

(27:37):
that have used that. That to me is the gold standard.
But from what I've seen, I'm not a doctor. Consult
with your doctor, but um, but I like the idea
of being a proactive medicine versus, oh, well, I see
your oxygens in the seventies, We're gonna put you on
a ventilator. Hang on, yes, And that's what it felt
like we were waiting to have happened, had we done nothing.

(27:58):
But you know, I'm not going to it's going to
do nothing and look again. Fortunately I had my daughter
helping us, and I want to share something with you.
My daughter and I started an Instagram page just a
little while ago because we've filmed a video going into
more detail of what exactly happens, and if it's okay,
I'd like to share it. It's at covid and powered
on Instagram. We're going to be uploading that video to

(28:21):
tell people what happened to us and what they can
do to be proactive because this we're in this together.
We have to fight for our lives right now, and
I'd like to help as many people as I can. Yeah, well, listen,
I just urge people please talk to the professionals that know.
And by the way, if your doctor is not one
that knows a lot about this, you know, seek out

(28:43):
other doctors, other opinions. Maybe some you'll agree with, maybe
some you'll disagree with. But this is where doing your
own research and educating yourself really matters. Yes, and making
choices about your care. I mean, it is our bodies.
We should be able to make choices about our care. Oh,
this isn't about freedom, though we were told yesterday Trisha
Quick break, We'll come back more your calls. Eight hundred

(29:03):
and nine for one. Sean is our number. Let's get
back to our phones. All right, Frank in Pennsylvania. You're
on the Sean Hannity Show. Frank, glad you call. We'll

(29:25):
have about a minute. It's all yours, all right, Sean.
As soon as that eleven happened, I couldn't listen to music.
I had to listen to news on AM radio, and
I listened to ten ten sixty sixty listening for Survivors
Updated news, and I came upon his talk radio post
in the afternoon. I listened for like ten minutes. Never
listened to talk radio before, and I kept listening to news.

(29:48):
The next day I came upon you again, and I'm like,
how is this guy? He's right on, He's saying everything
that I think. And the next day I found myself
looking for you on the radio and I ordered what
time it was it was station, and that was my
beginning of listening to talk radio twenty years ago. Tomorrow,
you know, I've been in radio thirty three years. This

(30:09):
week we it's our twentieth anniversary. I don't really like
to talk about it, to be very honest in light
of what this, what tomorrow means to me. You know,
