Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news round up information overload our eight hundred
(00:02):
and nine to four one sean our number if you
want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We have a lot of news out.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Of Israel, not the least of which is Joe Biden
now and even the New York Times reporting on this,
is is facing deep anger among longtime supporters and young
staffers in the White House and the Muslim community, which
he apologized to earlier in the week, and now the
(00:27):
press is a full court press. He appears, you know,
to be urging Israel's military campaign to end because, you know,
trying to say you've got to be more precise in
fighting back. They have done more to protect innocent lives,
directly warning the people of Gaza for weeks to get out.
(00:49):
It is Hamas that has forced people to stay there.
It is Hamas that is using hospitals as part of
their underground tunnel network and their command center. It is
Hamas that always used gods of residence and the Palestinians
as human shields. And if there's any innocent death in
(01:09):
this conflict, you can blame Hamas that committed Axeterai against Israel.
And what's worse is the virulent anti Semitism continues. Listen
to this out in Oakland residents denying that the October
seventh terrorist attack even happened, and actually in Oakland praising Hamas.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Listen to this. There's not been beheadings of babies and rapings.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Israel murdered their own people on October seventh. Calling Hamas
a terrorist organization is ridiculous, racist and plays into genocidal
propaganda that is flooding our media and that we should
be doing everything possible to combat.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I support the right.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Of Palestinians to resist occupation, including through Hamas, the armed
wing of the Unified Palestinian Resistance.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
As an Arab asking with this context to condemn Hamas
is very anti Arab racist.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The notion that this was a massacre of Jews a
fabricated narrative. Many of those killed on October seven, including children,
were killed by the IDF an amendment. Condemning Hamas is
bald propaganda meant.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
A thank you, Your time is up.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
To hear them complain about Hamas violence is like listening
to a wife Peter complain when his wife finally stands.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Up and fights back. Question, did anyone else notice that
those who opposed this resolution are old white supremacists.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There's been a lot of atrocity propaganda raging, from claims
of headed babies to mass rape.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Hamas is no Paris organization just because the US and
Israel deemed it. So Hamas is a resistant organization that
applying for the liberation of Palestinian people in their land.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And yeah, pro Palestinium protesters demonstrating outside of Rosalind Carter
and her memorial service yesterday, how nice of them. Now
(03:04):
the pressure is real, as I mentioned the New York
Times piece Mark Warner saying, I would urge Israel to
release funds to the Palestinian authority. Well, when they have
gotten funds in the past' that's the money that was
used not to build hospitals or infrastructure of schools, but
a network of hundreds of miles of terri tunnels. That
(03:25):
is the money that they use to buy munitions. That
is the money you know that they used to buy
the rockets to fire into Israel. So he says that,
Blincoln says, yeah, we'd like to see the pause in
Gaza extended. And then you go to the UN which
is a history of nothing but rabbit anti Semitism and
anti Americanism. A you an official giving a word salad
(03:45):
answer regarding their refusal to condemn Hamas's rapes on October seventh,
That shouldn't be hard to answer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
This is what this is now the state of the world. Listen.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Israel has been losing the hearts and minds of people,
not only in the region, around the world. One of
the things that I would strongly aerge our Israeli partners
is to release some of the funds that go to
the Palestinian authority. I've been worried even in advance of
October seventh, that you could have the Palestinian security services
(04:16):
simply all quit on the West Bank and you would
have chaos at an unprecedented level and a second front
start on this war. And the fact that none of
those funds and none of these people have been paid
since October seventh is a real challenge that would be
a sign of good faith. I think from.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
Israel, we'd like to see the pause extended because what
it is enabled, first and foremost is hostage is being released.
It's also enabled us to surge Amandagarian assistance into the
people of Gaza, who so desperately needed.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Indeed, You and Women always supports impartial, independent investigations into
any serious allegations of gender based or sexual violence, and
within the UN family, these investigations are led by the
Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights and just
to provide a little bit of context in terms of
You and Women's role. UN Women specifically provides and has
(05:11):
extensive knowledge on gender based violence and provides and supports investigations,
as we do with all UN investigations, and so consequently,
in this context and within the UN system, it is
the Independent International Commission of Inquiry which for US has
the mandate to investigate all alleged violations. It is absolutely
(05:35):
important for the rights, for the needs, for the protection,
for the dignity for the survivors of violence to be
supported throughout a process, and that's why we work through
these globally mandated mechanisms that notwithstanding, we understand and certainly
(05:56):
we encourage and support national level efforts, ones that you've
heard about today the Civil Commission in Israel, which has
brought together women's organizations to document gender based atrocities. Impartially,
our work will be on the backside of the independent
International Commission.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
All right, joining US now. Is Alon Levy is with US,
an Israeli government spokesperson representing the Israel on the on
international television and radio in the war with Hamas you know,
I couldn't believe as I was watching him. I think
he was on Sky News doing an interview with some
woman named Kay Burley, and Burley asked about the comparison
(06:38):
between the numbers of hostages and the fact that, you know,
Israel does not think Palestinian lives are valued as highly
as Israeli lives. Excuse me, These are convicted terrorists in
most cases, and Israel's was handing over three, you know,
guilty in many cases terrorists for one innocent baby that
(06:59):
they took hostage. Alan, I watched you in that interview
and I couldn't believe what I saw when you were
on British television.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I was shocked.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Yeah, that was really an astonishing moment for a news
anchor to claim that Israel doesn't care about people's lives
and to use for the evidence for that the fact
that Israel is willing to release from jail violent criminals
in order to get our innocent children out of captivity,
out of being Hamas hostages and to somehow twist that
(07:31):
against us and make us into the bad guys really
really outrageous.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's what the world has been doing since October seventh, though,
isn't it, And that is blaming the victim of terrorism,
and it's shocking.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
It's definitely what some people in the world have been
doing since October seventh. I mean, we've had so much
international support and solidarity standing by Israel in our darkest
hour as we fight to obliterate the Hamas terror ration
in response to the October seventh massacre. But sadly, yes,
sometimes we see people in the best cases being quiet
(08:07):
about Hamas's atrocities, or denying ha Massa's atrocities, and in
the worst cases, actively and openly glorifying those brutal acts
of savagery, the burnings, the beheadings, the acts of rape
on October seventh. Truly, it's impossible to get you to
get your head around.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Let me get your reaction to Joe Biden now is
appearing to you know, pressure Israel to end their military
campaign in Gaza. You know, I've extrapolated out your population
in Israel a little over nine million versus the three
hundred and thirty some one million Americans. This would be
the equivalent of losing nearly forty thousand Americans in a
(08:45):
single day. And if any country, if that ever happened
to our country, God forbid, and anybody ever told us
that we need to not win that war, I would
tell them all to shove it. And it is Israel's
very survival is at stake here. Hamasa's charter calls for
your ultimate destruction.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
This was our nine to eleven and Pearl Harbor rolled
into one, perpetrated by a brutal army of terror. And
that's why it's important that from day one, the US
has stood shoulder to shoulder with US across both parties,
the administration as well, making clear the only way this
war can end is with the end of Hammas. This
(09:28):
war has to end with Hamas completely obliterated, because otherwise
it will try to repeat the same atrocities it did
on October seventh. And we're very grateful to the United
States for its very solid support. I've seen that tweet
that you're referring to, and I know that the White
House has also made clear that the President's support the
United States support for our military campaign against Hamas remains unwavering.
(09:51):
There hasn't been a change in policy. The United States understands.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I have a lot of sources, Alan, I have a
lot of sources in Israel. I am being told by
very knowledgeable people that what Biden is saying publicly is
very different than what he's pushing privately.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Have you not heard that.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Well, we know that the President and the whole United States,
and especially the American people as well. I can't tell
you how much support we've been receiving from the American
people have been clear that Israel has every right to
defend itself, that if something like this had happened to
the United States, the response would be I think the
President said, swift, decisive, and overwhelming. And that's what we
(10:32):
are going to continue doing because we know that we're
fighting for humanity, Sean. We know that we're fighting for
humanity in the most basic sense of the right of
babies not to be abducted from their beds and taken
as hostages. But we're on the front lines of civilization
here because if this war ends with the jihadi terrorists
who perpetrated October seventh knowing they can get away with it,
(10:55):
knowing they're free to perpetrate these atrocities again, knowing they
can attack the Israel people again, and the world will
stop Israel from defending itself. Well, that's only going to
empower and give strength to Isamist extremists and violent terrorists
all around the world. And so we know that we're
fighting the world's fight.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Here, Hi, quick break, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
More with Alon Levy, the Israeli government spokesperson on the
other side. Then we'll get to your calls. Eight hundred
and ninety four one sean our number. All right, we
continue now with Alon Levy. He is an Israeli government spokesperson.
Let me play this exchange that you had with this
British TV anchor and your answer I thought was superb.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
Listen, I was speaking to a hostage negotiated this morning.
He made the comparison between the fifty hostag hostages that
her mass has promised and promised to release, as opposed
to the one hundred and fifty prisoners that are Palestinians
that Israel has said that it will release. And he
made the comparison between the numbers and the fact that
(11:57):
does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as
highly as Israeli lives.
Speaker 13 (12:03):
That is an astonishing accusation. If we could release one
prisoner for every one hostage, we would obviously do that.
We are operating in horrific circumstances. We're not choosing to
release these prisoners who have blood on their hands. We
are talking about people who have been convicted of stabbing
and shooting attacks.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The question I have, Look, I'll be very honest with you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My head tells me that making a deal like this
with a terror group like AMAS and having a pause
in the fighting, it worries me. It worries me that
number one, it will increase hostage taking. Number two, it
gives them time to resupply and reconfigure their military strategy.
That makes winning your war that much more difficult. And
(12:48):
on the other hand, I have a heart and I
sympathize with every Israeli family, and if a family member
of mine wire held hostage, would I would want the
pause in the fighting to get my relatives back, and
I probably would make the same decision, although in my
head I know that it's it's gonna help a maas militarily.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
We're in an awful situation there are no good options
on the table, only less bad options. We're making a
calculated risk. Obviously, we know that there is a risk
in releasing violent criminals from jail. But at the same time,
Hamas brutally abducted two hundred and forty people on October seventh.
(13:30):
They abducted little babies. There's a nine month old baby
now ten months old Hamas is claiming was in fact
killed and may be dead now in the Gaza Strip.
Many Americans will be familiar with the story of little
Abigail Hedne, a joint US Israeli citizen whose parents were
both brutally massacred on October seventh, and she was held
(13:52):
as a hostage for fifty days. And we have a
moral responsibility as a country to do everything to get
those people home. There is no reality in which we
can make our peace with abandoning little children in the
hands of sorry I'm putting it this way, the pedophile
rapists who perpetrated those barbaric acts of savagery on October seventh.
(14:18):
We know they are not safe in their hands. And
that's why we're having to make very difficult decisions in
order to get our people back so that the Israeli
people know that if anyone tries to hurt a hair
on their head, this country is going to go to
the ends of the earth to bring them home, and
we will go to the ends of the earth to
bring their perpetrators to justice. This isn't the end of
(14:40):
the story. We've been very clear. Every Hamas terrorist, wherever
they are, is a dead man walking, and we will
settle the score with all of them.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Good news, there's only one. If you talked about Winston Churchill,
what is our aim? Victory, victory at all costs against
the monster's tyranny.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Sadly, we will feet the beaches.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
We will fight them in that corrects. We will fight
them everywhere in Gozen.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And I hope and I pray that you win and
win big uh game Launch Levy, You're in the prayers
of this audience that I can tell you, thank you.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I truly appreciate that.
Speaker 11 (15:16):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Eight hundred and nine foot one Sean. You know, occasionally
something great comes along. It's a game changer for the better.
Like a jet engine. Imagine life without you know, being
able to travel the way we do, or a microwave oven.
Uh oh, well, life would life would be altered dramatically
without it or even cell phones. Well, our friends at
Rhino Metals, their America's leading gun save manufacturer. They have
(15:38):
launched an amazing new gun safe design that I love.
It's called Safe X and that means you're going to
get anti pride protection and the security of safes that
cost thousands and thousands of dollars more, and you get
it for a fraction of the cost. It's the best
safe I've ever had at the best price point ever.
Seven hundred and forty nine bucks. That's all the costs.
You get a full size fire safe X gun safe
(16:02):
curbside delivered right to your home, and you can go
on their website. It's rhinosafe dot com. Rhinospelled like the
animal safe one word r H I N O S
A f E dot com. Watch their side by side
break in testing videos, watch their pride tests. Because guess what,
safes that cost five times as much they don't do
(16:22):
as good a job.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I've owned plenty of gun safes over the years, and
I can say without any doubt this is the best
one I've ever had in every way. And they have
the best warranty and they have the best support rhinosafe
dot com. You can order online or get a list
of dealers where you are R H I, N O,
S A F E dot com.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Come on, man, it's taken me forty seven years to
perfect doing nothing. I had to become president to show yeah,
I could do that better than anybody. Joe Biden the
most dangerous man in America.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
This is the Sean Handed Show.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Twenty five to the top of the hour. I wish
I owned a part of this company. I wish I
thought of the idea for this company. And it's of course,
I'm talking about Legacy Box. By the way, legacy box
dot com slash hannity is the website right now. They
have their cyber Week event. It is the best sale
of the year and it's not lasting much longer. Again,
(17:22):
it's simple. You start, You go to legacy box dot
com slash Hannity. You get an unreal sixty five percent
off during the Legacy Box Cyberweek event. And here's how
it works. You walk through your house, you talk to
talk about family members, walk through their homes, you know,
go in the garage, go in the basement, go in
the closet, go in the attic, go in the closets
(17:42):
and find every single family photo, every tape, every VHS tape,
every film reel that you have, and they will literally
preserve family memories in perpetuity because they're degrading every single day.
All you have to do is you get your legacy box.
You don't you send it in when you're ready. You
put all these items in the box and right now
(18:02):
you're going to get the best best savings ever of
the year period. Now here's the best part. Think about
this family memories, films, pictures. How cool would it be
Maybe maybe people loved ones have passed on. Wouldn't it
be great to see them again, maybe hear their voices
again and just remembering them.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
How cool is that going to be?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Or generations from now, you know, people will be able
to look back and see what you look like and
what they're great great great great great great great grandparents
look like.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I would love that. So you could be the person
that gets this done.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's all done by hand and digitized and it'll preserve
family memories forever. They are the world's largest digitizeder. They're
the best of this and it's really simple you get
sixty five percent off, biggest sale of the year. Just
go to Legacy box dot com slash Hannity. That simple,
all right, Let's keep going with the phones. A lot
of interest in the debate tomorrow night, and I'm really
(18:57):
just listening today. I have done the majority of my preps,
but I am listening closely to what's on your mind
to make sure that I'm not missing anything. I don't
want to miss anything. Let's say hi to Mark, he's
in Texas. Hey, Mark, how are you glad you called.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Sir the man, the myth a legend. What's going on
with Sean oh Man.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The Man, the Myth, the Legend? Is that a good
thing or a bad thing?
Speaker 14 (19:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Man, Well, I mean he was actually part of the
whole reason why I got into like being a political junkie.
Was listening to your radio show for years.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So so yeah, I'm very honored, my friend. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, it was always back and rushed than you so
as far as the way I listened to it. Anyway,
let me get to my point. I know you got
a busy thing going on. I just I wanted to
voice my my my opinion more than anything about this
whole debate between DISSENTUS and Newsome. I don't understand why
you and so many other people are trying to push
(19:53):
forward this whole thing between them two whenever I feel
like and a lot of people I know too, feel
like we need to everybody needs to get behind Trump
with everything that's going on in the country and the
political persecution that he's going through that roight now is
the time for everybody to rally around Trump and not
be trying to push forward anybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Why are you seeing this differently than it's even being built.
I mean, very clearly, I'm calling a red state blue
state debate. And by the way, I've made the point
many times today how many policies on the state level
have a greater impact on your life than what the
federal government does. So it's you know, we can walk
(20:36):
and chew gummy here. In other words, we can follow
what states are doing and also follow this presidential campaign.
The president has a pretty massive lead right now. I'll
be with him next week in Iowa for a town hall,
so I'm not given up on my coverage of that.
I'm trying to understand, you know, why you don't see
the importance of what states do to us and what
(20:59):
their policy, what their law is, what their regulations, the
impact that has on our lives.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
No, I absolutely see the importance on it. I think
it starts to local level and that that's part of
the reason. One of the main reasons why we are
where we are as a country is because people don't
pay attention to the local and the state and what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
See, you're criticizing people for not paying attention. I'm calling
attention to it, and then you're criticizing me.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I'm not criticizing you. I mean, I guess a little bit.
But when has there.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Every right that's all right, I can learn, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Well, when has there ever been a debate between two
governors during a presidential election cycle where everybody knows that
Joe Biden's most likely not going to be the nominee
and we already know that DeSantis is trying to run
to take the spot. So, I mean, it's pretty clear
what's actually going on with that, in my opinion, humble opinion,
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So you're basically saying the way, Well, this first of all,
happened organically. I didn't I didn't plan for this to
happen in the sense that I when I interviewed Gavin Newsom,
I went in with an agenda, Oh, I'm going to
get him to Governor DeSantis. But in the course of
me interviewing him, I did make comparisons between Florida and California,
and at one point it became a natural question, do
(22:11):
you want a debate Governor de Santis? He said yes?
I asked Governor DeSantis? He said yes, And here we are.
I mean it's that that's about how much thought went
into it. And then of course, you know, getting the
details together was a little more difficult, but we got
it done.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Well.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Why don't you have got my name's mixed up Moosom
and Trump debate.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'd love to do that debate. If Donald Trump wants
to do that debate, I do in a second.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I'm not in that you brother, I'm I'm I got
you back. My whole thing is I just think that
where we're.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Let me tell you some If you believe that Joe
Biden is not going to be the nominee. Uh and
and maybe some people disagree with me, you better know
that Gavin is right there at the top of the
list with Kamala Harris as a potential replacement. Now, I
don't know if Joe's going to be the nominee. Nobody
can say for sure he's going to be the nominee
in November twenty twenty. For I think Democrats are scared
(23:01):
to death of him being the nominee. But it's also
a very challenging, difficult task to get him to bow out.
And unless he bows out, I think they're gonna have
a hard time kicking him out. So he does not
shown any indication that he wants to get, you know,
out of that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Office even complete a sentence or walk up a flat
of stairs. So I mean, you know, it's I think.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
He couldn't do that in twenty twenty either, but he still,
you know, ran and got elected.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You probably don't want to talk about, and I know
you don't have time, but we could go down the
election integrity route there, but and the whole COVID and uh,
you know, anyway, the whole legend.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, I've made my opinions on all that known over
and over again. Look, I'm just telling you, just pay attention.
American needs Republicans and conservatives. Don't put your head in
the sand. Is what I'm saying. Know what potentially you
could be dealing with down the line, And at that
point I think I'm it's good for people to know.
(23:58):
Look on a personal level of I introduced you to Newsom,
you'd like him, I promise you, and then you talk
policy and he probably smile and make fun of your policies.
You make fun of his policies, So he's got that
going for him. He's almost like central casting for a politician.
If you were going to do a remake of the
American president that started what Mike Douglas, he could play
(24:20):
that role perfectly. So anyway, I appreciate your input. I
really do appreciate your call. Thanks for being out there,
Thanks for your support. Annie is in Utah. Hey Annie,
how are you?
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Hey Sean, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Hey, I'm jealous because you could go stop by Crownberger
today and I can't.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
So I'm jealous.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Rod Arket probably will take a picture of it and
send it to me.
Speaker 15 (24:42):
All right, Well, you just if there was a way
I could mail you and I would look like the
prior caller and a lot of here on the station.
Trum Trump Trump Trump Trump yesterday, Nikki Haley, who is
currently really surging in the polls, got a very big
enjugment from the Cock group, which it's.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Actually it's actually said. It's it's a co group, is
what it is. It's spelled ko h. I understand the
multi billionaires, big donor class.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Yes, yeah, And you know, you know, I like her.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I think she's highly electable in the general election. And
and I say that because I have friends of different
you know, political beliefs or whatever. And when I get
people to sit down and watch the debate, she's very
likable from independence and moderate Democrats and some you know
(25:41):
Conservatives that I know really well. So I want to
know how you think this might change things now that
she has this large endorsement.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, you're you're asking a great question. Is here's
the question to answer your question. Is there a disconnect
between the piece of the Republican Party and I think
we see in every poll leans very heavily towards Donald Trump.
Is there a disconnect between the donor class and the
Republican Party that doesn't like Donald Trump and the base
(26:15):
of the party, the people that will go out and
pull the lever for Donald Trump. Do you see a disconnect.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
When I look at it strategically, and I'm very afraid
for this country of US as Republicans conservatives not winning
the presidential. When I look at it strategically, I say,
who in the general is electable? And I know people
that have voted Republican their whole lives a lot longer
than me, and they will not vote for Donald Trump.
(26:44):
And so my concern is, I think there's a lot
of people that talk about loyalty and they want to
stick with him. But my concern is we're going to
make this guy win in the primary and he's not
going to be able to win in the general, and
we're shooting our in the foot by doing that. And
I think that's the real disconnect.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I've heard all the arguments. I don't have a crystal ball.
I can't tell on a personal level. I can tell
you Nikki Haley is lovely, great lady. I've interviewed her
many times. She's smart. I think she's shown, you know,
a lot of growth on the campaign trail. I think
it's really down at this point. Is Donald Trump has
(27:24):
a big lead, and I think there are people desperately
that don't want him, that are going to spend a
lot of money to try and help her campaign. In
the beginning, I think they were tending to lean towards
Governor DeSantis. I don't know if that's going to change
or shift. Maybe the results out of the Iowa caucus,
which is you know, forty some are days away, we'll
(27:45):
have an impact on where the money goes. I don't know,
but I would say that Donald Trump is a heavy
favorite going into the primaries and the caucus season, no
doubt about it. And at that point, you know, if
the choice is radical socialism, the president that doesn't know
what day of the week it is, versus a guy
that I think had the most successful policies in the
(28:07):
modern era, I think people will go with the guy
that maybe occasionally pisses them off or brings you know,
sends out a few mean tweets over over somebody that
who's policies I don't believe are working at all. I
can't name a single policy or Joe Biden that's working.
And if people, you know, hey, Donald Trump that much
that they would help re elect Joe Biden, who is
(28:28):
hurting the country on every policy you know that's on them. Anyway,
any good call, appreciate it love our friends in Utah,
say hi to rod Arket for me.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Michael's in Texas. Hey Michael, how are you Sean?
Speaker 14 (28:39):
It's an honor what I wanted to talk about. Had
heard you mentioned the gas passes the other day here
in Amarilla and Canyons Canyon just a little south of Amarilla.
Passes are all over the place. Some stations have gas
real low, but they jack dedes. Other stations have a
(29:00):
diesel lower in the gas hwher. What looks like is
a shell game with the Dems. You know, they're trying
to lower gas prices prior to the election. Kind of
fool people whatever, But a lot of people are not
going to think about the fact that diesel powers are
trucks or trains or brains brings our goods to market,
(29:20):
you know, so in the long run, you're still paying
these redistuous gas prices no matter what.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But uh no, listen, you're That's what I kind of
like about the website gas Buddies. That helps you find
the cheapest gas when you're out on the road. And
I know truckers are using it. You know, trucking has
been in a recession near depression lately. I mean I
don't think people have paid attention to how many trucking
companies have gone out of business, even companies you know
(29:48):
that have been around for ninety nine years. And now
you have states talking about regulations and the Feds talking
about regulations that they've got to be all electric rigs,
you know, in what the next ten years. In some
cases it's insane because they can't afford it. And meanwhile,
we want to go to a store and we want
the store shelves to be full. Well, everything we get
(30:09):
at every store we go to is brought there by
a truck, So they better not burden these guys any
further or else is not going to be anybody that's
going to want to do any trucking, or are they
going to charge so much for it that nobody's going
to be able to want to pay the prices for
the goods that will be passed on to us. Anyway,
I appreciate the call man. Thank you. Eight hundred and
nine to FOURT one. Shawn is our number, Gavin, Louisiana. Well, no,
(30:31):
Scott in Texas. I meant to get to you, Scott.
How are you you get the last ninety seconds?
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Go?
Speaker 14 (30:36):
Oh, doing great?
Speaker 16 (30:36):
Sean, how are you.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'm good, sir, oh good, good good.
Speaker 16 (30:40):
I want to talk to you, you know, for years
and years to talk about Hunter Biden. I've heard it
for you know, years and years and years, and so
of course the Republicans talk about being the party of transparency,
but now the Hunter wants to have a public carring.
It seems like the Republicans are kind of running scared.
So what is your view on the on the public
here for a Hunter?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You couldn't be any more wrong. James Cummer was on
my show last night. He's willing to have a public hearing.
But when you get a subpoena, that's an order, and
that means he is to be deposed, and deposed first.
And by the way, the same rules applied to Steve
Bannon and he was held in contempt. The same thing
happened to Peter Navarro. He was held in contempt. But
(31:21):
the law compels you to comply.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I don't blame Hunter's attorney, who is a very good
attorney by the name of Abby Lowell. I don't blame
him for saying, well, no, we want it to be public,
and we don't want to do the deposition behind closed doors. No,
he can have the public hearing after he does the
legally binding and upholds the subpoena which compels you to comply.
(31:45):
You don't get to dictate the terms. He's not above
the law, and so he's been subpeded to give a
deposition and provide certain materials. And this is where the
penetrating questions of smart investigators, that's where they would confront
him instead of just putting on, you know, a show
and avoiding what the law requires. So and then after
(32:07):
that point, James Comer said, sure, we'll do a public
hearing after no problem.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But it's got it first. You have to comply with
the subpoena.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All right, listen, I got a roll though, just out
of time, but I do appreciate your call.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I hope you understood that answer.
Speaker 16 (32:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That's going to wrap things up for today. And we
have a great show tonight. We're expecting you know, pro
quote hamas protesters at the Rockefellow tree lighting tonight. We'll
have our reporters on the ground there also Lindsey Graham, Governor,
nom James Comber, Jim Jordan, and Jason Smith. How are
these investigations going? We'll get the preview of our big debate.
(32:42):
Ari Fleischer, Doug Showan, Brian Bremberg, and Jimmy Fayla say
adbr tonight. Hannony ninety He stood on the Fox News
Channel tomorrow from Alfaretta, Georgia, the site of the big
debate Ron DeSantis Governor Newsom. Hope you'll join us. Thanks
for being with us, Thank you for making this show possible.
We'll see you tonight.
All right, news round up information overload our eight hundred
(00:02):
and nine to four one sean our number if you
want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We have a lot of news out.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Of Israel, not the least of which is Joe Biden
now and even the New York Times reporting on this,
is is facing deep anger among longtime supporters and young
staffers in the White House and the Muslim community, which
he apologized to earlier in the week, and now the
(00:27):
press is a full court press. He appears, you know,
to be urging Israel's military campaign to end because, you know,
trying to say you've got to be more precise in
fighting back. They have done more to protect innocent lives,
directly warning the people of Gaza for weeks to get out.
(00:49):
It is Hamas that has forced people to stay there.
It is Hamas that is using hospitals as part of
their underground tunnel network and their command center. It is
Hamas that always used gods of residence and the Palestinians
as human shields. And if there's any innocent death in
(01:09):
this conflict, you can blame Hamas that committed Axeterai against Israel.
And what's worse is the virulent anti Semitism continues. Listen
to this out in Oakland residents denying that the October
seventh terrorist attack even happened, and actually in Oakland praising Hamas.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Listen to this. There's not been beheadings of babies and rapings.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Israel murdered their own people on October seventh. Calling Hamas
a terrorist organization is ridiculous, racist and plays into genocidal
propaganda that is flooding our media and that we should
be doing everything possible to combat.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I support the right.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Of Palestinians to resist occupation, including through Hamas, the armed
wing of the Unified Palestinian Resistance.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
As an Arab asking with this context to condemn Hamas
is very anti Arab racist.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The notion that this was a massacre of Jews a
fabricated narrative. Many of those killed on October seven, including children,
were killed by the IDF an amendment. Condemning Hamas is
bald propaganda meant.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
A thank you, Your time is up.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
To hear them complain about Hamas violence is like listening
to a wife Peter complain when his wife finally stands.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Up and fights back. Question, did anyone else notice that
those who opposed this resolution are old white supremacists.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There's been a lot of atrocity propaganda raging, from claims
of headed babies to mass rape.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Hamas is no Paris organization just because the US and
Israel deemed it. So Hamas is a resistant organization that
applying for the liberation of Palestinian people in their land.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And yeah, pro Palestinium protesters demonstrating outside of Rosalind Carter
and her memorial service yesterday, how nice of them. Now
(03:04):
the pressure is real, as I mentioned the New York
Times piece Mark Warner saying, I would urge Israel to
release funds to the Palestinian authority. Well, when they have
gotten funds in the past' that's the money that was
used not to build hospitals or infrastructure of schools, but
a network of hundreds of miles of terri tunnels. That
(03:25):
is the money that they use to buy munitions. That
is the money you know that they used to buy
the rockets to fire into Israel. So he says that,
Blincoln says, yeah, we'd like to see the pause in
Gaza extended. And then you go to the UN which
is a history of nothing but rabbit anti Semitism and
anti Americanism. A you an official giving a word salad
(03:45):
answer regarding their refusal to condemn Hamas's rapes on October seventh,
That shouldn't be hard to answer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
This is what this is now the state of the world. Listen.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Israel has been losing the hearts and minds of people,
not only in the region, around the world. One of
the things that I would strongly aerge our Israeli partners
is to release some of the funds that go to
the Palestinian authority. I've been worried even in advance of
October seventh, that you could have the Palestinian security services
(04:16):
simply all quit on the West Bank and you would
have chaos at an unprecedented level and a second front
start on this war. And the fact that none of
those funds and none of these people have been paid
since October seventh is a real challenge that would be
a sign of good faith. I think from.
Speaker 10 (04:33):
Israel, we'd like to see the pause extended because what
it is enabled, first and foremost is hostage is being released.
It's also enabled us to surge Amandagarian assistance into the
people of Gaza, who so desperately needed.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Indeed, You and Women always supports impartial, independent investigations into
any serious allegations of gender based or sexual violence, and
within the UN family, these investigations are led by the
Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights and just
to provide a little bit of context in terms of
You and Women's role. UN Women specifically provides and has
(05:11):
extensive knowledge on gender based violence and provides and supports investigations,
as we do with all UN investigations, and so consequently,
in this context and within the UN system, it is
the Independent International Commission of Inquiry which for US has
the mandate to investigate all alleged violations. It is absolutely
(05:35):
important for the rights, for the needs, for the protection,
for the dignity for the survivors of violence to be
supported throughout a process, and that's why we work through
these globally mandated mechanisms that notwithstanding, we understand and certainly
(05:56):
we encourage and support national level efforts, ones that you've
heard about today the Civil Commission in Israel, which has
brought together women's organizations to document gender based atrocities. Impartially,
our work will be on the backside of the independent
International Commission.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
All right, joining US now. Is Alon Levy is with US,
an Israeli government spokesperson representing the Israel on the on
international television and radio in the war with Hamas you know,
I couldn't believe as I was watching him. I think
he was on Sky News doing an interview with some
woman named Kay Burley, and Burley asked about the comparison
(06:38):
between the numbers of hostages and the fact that, you know,
Israel does not think Palestinian lives are valued as highly
as Israeli lives. Excuse me, These are convicted terrorists in
most cases, and Israel's was handing over three, you know,
guilty in many cases terrorists for one innocent baby that
(06:59):
they took hostage. Alan, I watched you in that interview
and I couldn't believe what I saw when you were
on British television.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I was shocked.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Yeah, that was really an astonishing moment for a news
anchor to claim that Israel doesn't care about people's lives
and to use for the evidence for that the fact
that Israel is willing to release from jail violent criminals
in order to get our innocent children out of captivity,
out of being Hamas hostages and to somehow twist that
(07:31):
against us and make us into the bad guys really
really outrageous.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's what the world has been doing since October seventh, though,
isn't it, And that is blaming the victim of terrorism,
and it's shocking.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
It's definitely what some people in the world have been
doing since October seventh. I mean, we've had so much
international support and solidarity standing by Israel in our darkest
hour as we fight to obliterate the Hamas terror ration
in response to the October seventh massacre. But sadly, yes,
sometimes we see people in the best cases being quiet
(08:07):
about Hamas's atrocities, or denying ha Massa's atrocities, and in
the worst cases, actively and openly glorifying those brutal acts
of savagery, the burnings, the beheadings, the acts of rape
on October seventh. Truly, it's impossible to get you to
get your head around.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Let me get your reaction to Joe Biden now is
appearing to you know, pressure Israel to end their military
campaign in Gaza. You know, I've extrapolated out your population
in Israel a little over nine million versus the three
hundred and thirty some one million Americans. This would be
the equivalent of losing nearly forty thousand Americans in a
(08:45):
single day. And if any country, if that ever happened
to our country, God forbid, and anybody ever told us
that we need to not win that war, I would
tell them all to shove it. And it is Israel's
very survival is at stake here. Hamasa's charter calls for
your ultimate destruction.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
This was our nine to eleven and Pearl Harbor rolled
into one, perpetrated by a brutal army of terror. And
that's why it's important that from day one, the US
has stood shoulder to shoulder with US across both parties,
the administration as well, making clear the only way this
war can end is with the end of Hammas. This
(09:28):
war has to end with Hamas completely obliterated, because otherwise
it will try to repeat the same atrocities it did
on October seventh. And we're very grateful to the United
States for its very solid support. I've seen that tweet
that you're referring to, and I know that the White
House has also made clear that the President's support the
United States support for our military campaign against Hamas remains unwavering.
(09:51):
There hasn't been a change in policy. The United States understands.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I have a lot of sources, Alan, I have a
lot of sources in Israel. I am being told by
very knowledgeable people that what Biden is saying publicly is
very different than what he's pushing privately.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Have you not heard that.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Well, we know that the President and the whole United States,
and especially the American people as well. I can't tell
you how much support we've been receiving from the American
people have been clear that Israel has every right to
defend itself, that if something like this had happened to
the United States, the response would be I think the
President said, swift, decisive, and overwhelming. And that's what we
(10:32):
are going to continue doing because we know that we're
fighting for humanity, Sean. We know that we're fighting for
humanity in the most basic sense of the right of
babies not to be abducted from their beds and taken
as hostages. But we're on the front lines of civilization
here because if this war ends with the jihadi terrorists
who perpetrated October seventh knowing they can get away with it,
(10:55):
knowing they're free to perpetrate these atrocities again, knowing they
can attack the Israel people again, and the world will
stop Israel from defending itself. Well, that's only going to
empower and give strength to Isamist extremists and violent terrorists
all around the world. And so we know that we're
fighting the world's fight.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Here, Hi, quick break, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
More with Alon Levy, the Israeli government spokesperson on the
other side. Then we'll get to your calls. Eight hundred
and ninety four one sean our number. All right, we
continue now with Alon Levy. He is an Israeli government spokesperson.
Let me play this exchange that you had with this
British TV anchor and your answer I thought was superb.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
Listen, I was speaking to a hostage negotiated this morning.
He made the comparison between the fifty hostag hostages that
her mass has promised and promised to release, as opposed
to the one hundred and fifty prisoners that are Palestinians
that Israel has said that it will release. And he
made the comparison between the numbers and the fact that
(11:57):
does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as
highly as Israeli lives.
Speaker 13 (12:03):
That is an astonishing accusation. If we could release one
prisoner for every one hostage, we would obviously do that.
We are operating in horrific circumstances. We're not choosing to
release these prisoners who have blood on their hands. We
are talking about people who have been convicted of stabbing
and shooting attacks.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
The question I have, Look, I'll be very honest with you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My head tells me that making a deal like this
with a terror group like AMAS and having a pause
in the fighting, it worries me. It worries me that
number one, it will increase hostage taking. Number two, it
gives them time to resupply and reconfigure their military strategy.
That makes winning your war that much more difficult. And
(12:48):
on the other hand, I have a heart and I
sympathize with every Israeli family, and if a family member
of mine wire held hostage, would I would want the
pause in the fighting to get my relatives back, and
I probably would make the same decision, although in my
head I know that it's it's gonna help a maas militarily.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
We're in an awful situation there are no good options
on the table, only less bad options. We're making a
calculated risk. Obviously, we know that there is a risk
in releasing violent criminals from jail. But at the same time,
Hamas brutally abducted two hundred and forty people on October seventh.
(13:30):
They abducted little babies. There's a nine month old baby
now ten months old Hamas is claiming was in fact
killed and may be dead now in the Gaza Strip.
Many Americans will be familiar with the story of little
Abigail Hedne, a joint US Israeli citizen whose parents were
both brutally massacred on October seventh, and she was held
(13:52):
as a hostage for fifty days. And we have a
moral responsibility as a country to do everything to get
those people home. There is no reality in which we
can make our peace with abandoning little children in the
hands of sorry I'm putting it this way, the pedophile
rapists who perpetrated those barbaric acts of savagery on October seventh.
(14:18):
We know they are not safe in their hands. And
that's why we're having to make very difficult decisions in
order to get our people back so that the Israeli
people know that if anyone tries to hurt a hair
on their head, this country is going to go to
the ends of the earth to bring them home, and
we will go to the ends of the earth to
bring their perpetrators to justice. This isn't the end of
(14:40):
the story. We've been very clear. Every Hamas terrorist, wherever
they are, is a dead man walking, and we will
settle the score with all of them.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Good news, there's only one. If you talked about Winston Churchill,
what is our aim? Victory, victory at all costs against
the monster's tyranny.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Sadly, we will feet the beaches.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
We will fight them in that corrects. We will fight
them everywhere in Gozen.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And I hope and I pray that you win and
win big uh game Launch Levy, You're in the prayers
of this audience that I can tell you, thank you.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I truly appreciate that.
Speaker 11 (15:16):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Eight hundred and nine foot one Sean. You know, occasionally
something great comes along. It's a game changer for the better.
Like a jet engine. Imagine life without you know, being
able to travel the way we do, or a microwave oven.
Uh oh, well, life would life would be altered dramatically
without it or even cell phones. Well, our friends at
Rhino Metals, their America's leading gun save manufacturer. They have
(15:38):
launched an amazing new gun safe design that I love.
It's called Safe X and that means you're going to
get anti pride protection and the security of safes that
cost thousands and thousands of dollars more, and you get
it for a fraction of the cost. It's the best
safe I've ever had at the best price point ever.
Seven hundred and forty nine bucks. That's all the costs.
You get a full size fire safe X gun safe
(16:02):
curbside delivered right to your home, and you can go
on their website. It's rhinosafe dot com. Rhinospelled like the
animal safe one word r H I N O S
A f E dot com. Watch their side by side
break in testing videos, watch their pride tests. Because guess what,
safes that cost five times as much they don't do
(16:22):
as good a job.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I've owned plenty of gun safes over the years, and
I can say without any doubt this is the best
one I've ever had in every way. And they have
the best warranty and they have the best support rhinosafe
dot com. You can order online or get a list
of dealers where you are R H I, N O,
S A F E dot com.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Come on, man, it's taken me forty seven years to
perfect doing nothing. I had to become president to show yeah,
I could do that better than anybody. Joe Biden the
most dangerous man in America.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
This is the Sean Handed Show.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Twenty five to the top of the hour. I wish
I owned a part of this company. I wish I
thought of the idea for this company. And it's of course,
I'm talking about Legacy Box. By the way, legacy box
dot com slash hannity is the website right now. They
have their cyber Week event. It is the best sale
of the year and it's not lasting much longer. Again,
(17:22):
it's simple. You start, You go to legacy box dot
com slash Hannity. You get an unreal sixty five percent

it works. You walk through your house, you talk to
talk about family members, walk through their homes, you know,

the closet, go in the attic, go in the closets
(17:42):
and find every single family photo, every tape, every VHS tape,
every film reel that you have, and they will literally
preserve family memories in perpetuity because they're degrading every single day.
All you have to do is you get your legacy box.
You don't you send it in when you're ready. You

this family memories, films, pictures. How cool would it be
Maybe maybe people loved ones have passed on. Wouldn't it
be great to see them again, maybe hear their voices
again and just remembering them.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
How cool is that going to be?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Or generations from now, you know, people will be able
to look back and see what you look like and
what they're great great great great great great great grandparents
look like.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I would love that. So you could be the person
that gets this done.

It's all done by hand and digitized and it'll preserve
family memories forever. They are the world's largest digitizeder. They're
the best of this and it's really simple you get
sixty five percent off, biggest sale of the year. Just
go to Legacy box dot com slash Hannity. That simple,
all right, Let's keep going with the phones. A lot
of interest in the debate tomorrow night, and I'm really
(18:57):
just listening today. I have done the majority of my preps,
but I am listening closely to what's on your mind
to make sure that I'm not missing anything. I don't
want to miss anything. Let's say hi to Mark, he's
in Texas. Hey, Mark, how are you glad you called.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Sir the man, the myth a legend. What's going on
with Sean oh Man.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The Man, the Myth, the Legend? Is that a good
thing or a bad thing?
Speaker 14 (19:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Man, Well, I mean he was actually part of the
whole reason why I got into like being a political junkie.
Was listening to your radio show for years.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So so yeah, I'm very honored, my friend. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, it was always back and rushed than you so
as far as the way I listened to it. Anyway,
let me get to my point. I know you got
a busy thing going on. I just I wanted to
voice my my my opinion more than anything about this
whole debate between DISSENTUS and Newsome. I don't understand why
you and so many other people are trying to push
(19:53):
forward this whole thing between them two whenever I feel
like and a lot of people I know too, feel
like we need to everybody needs to get behind Trump
with everything that's going on in the country and the
political persecution that he's going through that roight now is
the time for everybody to rally around Trump and not
be trying to push forward anybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Why are you seeing this differently than it's even being built.
I mean, very clearly, I'm calling a red state blue
state debate. And by the way, I've made the point
many times today how many policies on the state level
have a greater impact on your life than what the
federal government does. So it's you know, we can walk
(20:36):
and chew gummy here. In other words, we can follow
what states are doing and also follow this presidential campaign.
The president has a pretty massive lead right now. I'll
be with him next week in Iowa for a town hall,
so I'm not given up on my coverage of that.
I'm trying to understand, you know, why you don't see
the importance of what states do to us and what
(20:59):
their policy, what their law is, what their regulations, the
impact that has on our lives.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
No, I absolutely see the importance on it. I think
it starts to local level and that that's part of
the reason. One of the main reasons why we are
where we are as a country is because people don't
pay attention to the local and the state and what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
See, you're criticizing people for not paying attention. I'm calling
attention to it, and then you're criticizing me.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I'm not criticizing you. I mean, I guess a little bit.
But when has there.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Every right that's all right, I can learn, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Well, when has there ever been a debate between two
governors during a presidential election cycle where everybody knows that
Joe Biden's most likely not going to be the nominee
and we already know that DeSantis is trying to run
to take the spot. So, I mean, it's pretty clear
what's actually going on with that, in my opinion, humble opinion,
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So you're basically saying the way, Well, this first of all,
happened organically. I didn't I didn't plan for this to
happen in the sense that I when I interviewed Gavin Newsom,
I went in with an agenda, Oh, I'm going to
get him to Governor DeSantis. But in the course of
me interviewing him, I did make comparisons between Florida and California,
and at one point it became a natural question, do
(22:11):
you want a debate Governor de Santis? He said yes?
I asked Governor DeSantis? He said yes, And here we are.
I mean it's that that's about how much thought went
into it. And then of course, you know, getting the
details together was a little more difficult, but we got
it done.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Well.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Why don't you have got my name's mixed up Moosom
and Trump debate.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'd love to do that debate. If Donald Trump wants
to do that debate, I do in a second.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I'm not in that you brother, I'm I'm I got
you back. My whole thing is I just think that
where we're.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Let me tell you some If you believe that Joe
Biden is not going to be the nominee. Uh and
and maybe some people disagree with me, you better know
that Gavin is right there at the top of the
list with Kamala Harris as a potential replacement. Now, I
don't know if Joe's going to be the nominee. Nobody
can say for sure he's going to be the nominee
in November twenty twenty. For I think Democrats are scared
(23:01):
to death of him being the nominee. But it's also
a very challenging, difficult task to get him to bow out.
And unless he bows out, I think they're gonna have
a hard time kicking him out. So he does not
shown any indication that he wants to get, you know,
out of that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Office even complete a sentence or walk up a flat
of stairs. So I mean, you know, it's I think.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
He couldn't do that in twenty twenty either, but he still,
you know, ran and got elected.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You probably don't want to talk about, and I know
you don't have time, but we could go down the
election integrity route there, but and the whole COVID and uh,
you know, anyway, the whole legend.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, I've made my opinions on all that known over
and over again. Look, I'm just telling you, just pay attention.
American needs Republicans and conservatives. Don't put your head in
the sand. Is what I'm saying. Know what potentially you
could be dealing with down the line, And at that
point I think I'm it's good for people to know.
(23:58):
Look on a personal level of I introduced you to Newsom,
you'd like him, I promise you, and then you talk
policy and he probably smile and make fun of your policies.
You make fun of his policies, So he's got that
going for him. He's almost like central casting for a politician.
If you were going to do a remake of the
American president that started what Mike Douglas, he could play
(24:20):
that role perfectly. So anyway, I appreciate your input. I
really do appreciate your call. Thanks for being out there,
Thanks for your support. Annie is in Utah. Hey Annie,
how are you?
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Hey Sean, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Hey, I'm jealous because you could go stop by Crownberger
today and I can't.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
So I'm jealous.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Rod Arket probably will take a picture of it and
send it to me.
Speaker 15 (24:42):
All right, Well, you just if there was a way
I could mail you and I would look like the
prior caller and a lot of here on the station.
Trum Trump Trump Trump Trump yesterday, Nikki Haley, who is
currently really surging in the polls, got a very big
enjugment from the Cock group, which it's.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Actually it's actually said. It's it's a co group, is
what it is. It's spelled ko h. I understand the
multi billionaires, big donor class.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Yes, yeah, And you know, you know, I like her.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I think she's highly electable in the general election. And
and I say that because I have friends of different
you know, political beliefs or whatever. And when I get
people to sit down and watch the debate, she's very
likable from independence and moderate Democrats and some you know
(25:41):
Conservatives that I know really well. So I want to
know how you think this might change things now that
she has this large endorsement.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, you're you're asking a great question. Is here's
the question to answer your question. Is there a disconnect
between the piece of the Republican Party and I think
we see in every poll leans very heavily towards Donald Trump.
Is there a disconnect between the donor class and the
Republican Party that doesn't like Donald Trump and the base
(26:15):
of the party, the people that will go out and
pull the lever for Donald Trump. Do you see a disconnect.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
When I look at it strategically, and I'm very afraid
for this country of US as Republicans conservatives not winning
the presidential. When I look at it strategically, I say,
who in the general is electable? And I know people
that have voted Republican their whole lives a lot longer
than me, and they will not vote for Donald Trump.
(26:44):
And so my concern is, I think there's a lot
of people that talk about loyalty and they want to
stick with him. But my concern is we're going to
make this guy win in the primary and he's not
going to be able to win in the general, and
we're shooting our in the foot by doing that. And
I think that's the real disconnect.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I've heard all the arguments. I don't have a crystal ball.
I can't tell on a personal level. I can tell
you Nikki Haley is lovely, great lady. I've interviewed her
many times. She's smart. I think she's shown, you know,
a lot of growth on the campaign trail. I think
it's really down at this point. Is Donald Trump has
(27:24):
a big lead, and I think there are people desperately
that don't want him, that are going to spend a
lot of money to try and help her campaign. In
the beginning, I think they were tending to lean towards
Governor DeSantis. I don't know if that's going to change
or shift. Maybe the results out of the Iowa caucus,
which is you know, forty some are days away, we'll
(27:45):
have an impact on where the money goes. I don't know,
but I would say that Donald Trump is a heavy
favorite going into the primaries and the caucus season, no
doubt about it. And at that point, you know, if
the choice is radical socialism, the president that doesn't know
what day of the week it is, versus a guy
that I think had the most successful policies in the
(28:07):
modern era, I think people will go with the guy
that maybe occasionally pisses them off or brings you know,
sends out a few mean tweets over over somebody that
who's policies I don't believe are working at all. I
can't name a single policy or Joe Biden that's working.
And if people, you know, hey, Donald Trump that much
that they would help re elect Joe Biden, who is
(28:28):
hurting the country on every policy you know that's on them. Anyway,
any good call, appreciate it love our friends in Utah,
say hi to rod Arket for me.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Michael's in Texas. Hey Michael, how are you Sean?
Speaker 14 (28:39):
It's an honor what I wanted to talk about. Had
heard you mentioned the gas passes the other day here
in Amarilla and Canyons Canyon just a little south of Amarilla.
Passes are all over the place. Some stations have gas
real low, but they jack dedes. Other stations have a
(29:00):
diesel lower in the gas hwher. What looks like is
a shell game with the Dems. You know, they're trying
to lower gas prices prior to the election. Kind of
fool people whatever, But a lot of people are not
going to think about the fact that diesel powers are
trucks or trains or brains brings our goods to market,
(29:20):
you know, so in the long run, you're still paying
these redistuous gas prices no matter what.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But uh no, listen, you're That's what I kind of
like about the website gas Buddies. That helps you find
the cheapest gas when you're out on the road. And
I know truckers are using it. You know, trucking has
been in a recession near depression lately. I mean I
don't think people have paid attention to how many trucking
companies have gone out of business, even companies you know
(29:48):
that have been around for ninety nine years. And now
you have states talking about regulations and the Feds talking
about regulations that they've got to be all electric rigs,
you know, in what the next ten years. In some
cases it's insane because they can't afford it. And meanwhile,
we want to go to a store and we want
the store shelves to be full. Well, everything we get
(30:09):
at every store we go to is brought there by
a truck, So they better not burden these guys any
further or else is not going to be anybody that's
going to want to do any trucking, or are they
going to charge so much for it that nobody's going
to be able to want to pay the prices for
the goods that will be passed on to us. Anyway,
I appreciate the call man. Thank you. Eight hundred and
nine to FOURT one. Shawn is our number, Gavin, Louisiana. Well, no,
(30:31):
Scott in Texas. I meant to get to you, Scott.
How are you you get the last ninety seconds?
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Go?
Speaker 14 (30:36):
Oh, doing great?
Speaker 16 (30:36):
Sean, how are you.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'm good, sir, oh good, good good.
Speaker 16 (30:40):
I want to talk to you, you know, for years
and years to talk about Hunter Biden. I've heard it
for you know, years and years and years, and so
of course the Republicans talk about being the party of transparency,
but now the Hunter wants to have a public carring.
It seems like the Republicans are kind of running scared.
So what is your view on the on the public
here for a Hunter?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You couldn't be any more wrong. James Cummer was on
my show last night. He's willing to have a public hearing.
But when you get a subpoena, that's an order, and
that means he is to be deposed, and deposed first.
And by the way, the same rules applied to Steve
Bannon and he was held in contempt. The same thing
happened to Peter Navarro. He was held in contempt. But
(31:21):
the law compels you to comply.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I don't blame Hunter's attorney, who is a very good
attorney by the name of Abby Lowell. I don't blame
him for saying, well, no, we want it to be public,
and we don't want to do the deposition behind closed doors. No,
he can have the public hearing after he does the
legally binding and upholds the subpoena which compels you to comply.
(31:45):
You don't get to dictate the terms. He's not above
the law, and so he's been subpeded to give a
deposition and provide certain materials. And this is where the
penetrating questions of smart investigators, that's where they would confront
him instead of just putting on, you know, a show
and avoiding what the law requires. So and then after
(32:07):
that point, James Comer said, sure, we'll do a public
hearing after no problem.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But it's got it first. You have to comply with
the subpoena.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All right, listen, I got a roll though, just out
of time, but I do appreciate your call.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I hope you understood that answer.
Speaker 16 (32:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That's going to wrap things up for today. And we
have a great show tonight. We're expecting you know, pro
quote hamas protesters at the Rockefellow tree lighting tonight. We'll
have our reporters on the ground there also Lindsey Graham, Governor,
nom James Comber, Jim Jordan, and Jason Smith. How are
these investigations going? We'll get the preview of our big debate.
(32:42):
Ari Fleischer, Doug Showan, Brian Bremberg, and Jimmy Fayla say
adbr tonight. Hannony ninety He stood on the Fox News
Channel tomorrow from Alfaretta, Georgia, the site of the big
debate Ron DeSantis Governor Newsom. Hope you'll join us. Thanks
for being with us, Thank you for making this show possible.
We'll see you tonight.
