Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Do's round up Information Overload. Our toll free our number
is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you
want to be a part of the program. Only thirty
five days till election Day. We have the vice presidential
debate tonight on the Fox News channel, and well it's
actually a CBS debate, but it's pooled. We will have
full coverage, will run the full debate. I will be
(00:25):
on at eight thirty Eastern time. Immediately after the debate,
I'll be on with Breton Martha, and then I'll be
hosting the show. JD. Evans will be my special guest
at eleven Eastern that's eight o'clock out on the West coast.
As you know, early voting now is also started all
around the country. And you know, it looks like the
world is going a hell on a ham basket pretty fast.
(00:47):
As we see the ballistic missile attack direct attack from
Iran at Israel, on top of the never ending attacks
from Gaza and Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in
at Elebanon in the north. It is absolutely frightening. And
(01:07):
to watch Israel, you know, taking in all these ballistic
missiles from Iran and having a swap them out of
the sky. You know, at some point their systems are
going to get overwhelmed. And Israel has had to defend
itself in what part of murder and rape and kidnapping
and torture and beheadings do people not understand. I'm having
(01:28):
a hard time understanding how we have a top presidential
candidate that says we need to be courageous and never
say the words radical Islamic terrorism. On top of that,
we are following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, North Carolina.
It turns out got hit as hard as Florida and Georgia,
if not harder. Boone, North Carolina well known because of
(01:53):
the ministry of the Reverend Billy Graham, his son Franklin
Graham from there, Who's going to join us in a second.
But they are responding all over those counties and the
videos are just absolutely chilling Asheville, North Carolina, Valdosta, Georgia, Perry, Florida, Tampa, Florida.
Many of my friends have gotten hammered there. And yesterday
(02:15):
when President Trump went to Valdosta, he was joined by
the Reverend Franklin Graham and he's the CEO of both
Samaritans Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. And as usual,
you know, Samaritans Purse is there. They're on the ground
and they're helping with food and water and medicine and
(02:37):
supplies and gas and energy and basically every need that
people need. We saw their great work during COVID they
set up a hospital in Italy. They set up a
hospital in Central Park until that got politicized, which never
should have happened. But just so you know, yesterday I
got in touch with the Samaritans Purse Ministry and I
(03:01):
made a donation and because I just I just believe
in the great work that they do. They're the real deal.
And the Reverend Franklin Graham has been a long time
friend of this program, friend of mine, and it's anana
to always have you back. Sir.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, thank you, Sean. Good to be with you.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I appreciate it. You've been seeing the devastation up close
and personal, and I'd hope that people will go to
samaritanspers dot org and whatever they can donate. One thing
about the American people, they're very generous when others are
in need, and there are a lot of people in
need right now.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
What are you seeing, Well, there's no questions, a lot
of need. And one of the problems, Sean, is here
in the mountains of western North Carolina. I mean it's
beautiful and many people have gone back up in the
mountains and Bill Holmes and what's happened with this heavy
rain that came. Roads washed away and so their entire community.
(03:55):
There are entire communities that are left stranded. Can't get in,
they can't get out, there's no self service, no electricity.
I have no I don't have electricity in my home.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I can't do I need to buy Franklin Graham
a generator. Would you like me to buy you a
generator for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But you know, I appreciate that, Seawn. I got a generator,
But the problem is the fuel for the generator. You
got to keep that thing going. So you you turn
your generator on for a few hours a day and
then turn it off to conserve the fuel. But it's
really they're people that have lost everything. And we had
a lady we volunteers went to her house earlier today
(04:36):
and she had tears streaming down sheet. She said I'm
not crying because I lost everything, She said, I'm crying
because love has just showed up. And she was thinking
of those volunteers that poured al the van come in
there to help her, and she saw those every faces
a face of love. And you know, it's just an opportunity, Shawn,
for us to help people. These are our citizens, these
(04:58):
are our neighbors, this is our country. Many times we're
working in other countries, but we have an opportunity now
to help here in North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
It's just incredible. But the mountains, especially here in western
North Carolina, from from Boone where I live, all the
way down to Ashville, the devastation is We've never seen
(05:23):
it like this before.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And I don't think people understand. I was very My
heart was warmed at the fact. And we got confirmation
of this from Elon Musk himself, and President Trump was
in touch with Elon Musk yesterday and he's axed out today.
Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many
(05:45):
Starling terminals as possible to help areas in need. Earlier today,
the President Donald Trump alerted me to additional people who
need starlink internet in North Carolina. We're sending those terminals
right away. I mean, it's amazing that people just you know,
they didn't bat an eyelash. They just step up and
they and they help, and you're seeing it up front
(06:08):
and personal. So I'm very grateful to all that you're doing.
But with your own eyes and the people that you're
talking to in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, you know
how bad is it in some of these areas well.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's we've never seen it like this before. Shaw, this
is the worst we've ever seen. And to talk about
Elon Musk the starlink, we could use hundreds of those
if we had them. But you have to give a
small generator along with the starlink because you've got to
be able to plug it in. And that's the problem.
There's no electricity. But if we can get a small generator,
(06:45):
I'm talking about like a Honda one thousand, and I
think it will run almost all day on a court
of gasoline. But that's starlink and a small generator I'd
get by ahead. I've given them to churches because in
almost every community, the church is reaching out to people
(07:06):
up and down those hollers, up and down the rivers.
They're the people who know I mean, the churches know
where the people are and how to get to them.
And so we believe in working with the local church.
And there's hundreds of churches here in western North Carolina
that I could use a starlink. So if Elon Musker is listening,
I hope he'll send us some because we will use
(07:27):
them immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, there are great people in this audience too. By
the way, I contacted you guys, Steve yesterday. He never
got back to us. I texted him and tell him
I want to send it out. You can buy a
bunch of generators with the money I wanted to send over.
And it's my pleasure. And I know this audience is
generous Samaranspurse dot org. And it's amazing when your trucks
show up, and your tractor trailers show up, and your
(07:50):
planes show up. I mean, is it is life for
people whose entire lives have been you know, turned upside down.
I mean, it's it's so hard when you think of
how you know, people work their entire lives to get
a home and they get it and then you know,
in just as a matter of an hour or so,
everything could be wiped away, and you have seeing a
(08:11):
lot of that in the course of your life and
your work and.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Sean, a lot of the people that lost everything are
not necessarily wealthy people. These are hard working people and
they go from paycheck to paycheck and not only have
they lost their home the love oflihood, but their property
is destroyed. And it's going to take a long time
to come back from the Sean, and it could take
(08:38):
a year or more for this just to get the
roads back up to where you can to reach these communities.
And as far as power, I don't know when that's
going to come back, but hopefully in the next few weeks.
But we just need to pray for the people here
that as we reach out Samaritans person we reach out Sean,
we do it in Jesus' name. It's not the name
(08:58):
of Franklin Graham or or Samaritans. First, we reach out
in Jesus' name. We want these people to know that
God loves them, He's not mad at him. And many
times when people come to the storm Shaw, they think
God is mad at him. No, the Bible tells us
that God loves us, and if we put our faith
in trust in Him and his son Jesus Christ, we
(09:19):
know that God will forgive our sins, and he'll heal
our hearts, and he'll take us through these storms, and
he'll get us all the way to the other side
one day with Him in heaven. And that's what we
want the people to know, is that God loves them
in the middle of this storm. When we show up,
we're showing up in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, I know that you do that, and I will
tell you as you get older. I was kidding with
you in a text and I said, you really do
look more like your dad every day. It's amazing, I
would say, in some ways you kind of look like twins.
But I know your dad's very proud of the great
work that he accomplished in his life, and you're following
through on it. You know, you once said that these
(09:58):
times see almost biblical, that you know as you read
the Bible, and you're far more knowledgeable than I am,
although I have started doing Bible studies and I do
them regularly, and you know, I feel like I'm very
familiar with the scripture. Haven't been raised Catholic, but I'm
more non denominational now, and I can tell you it
(10:21):
certainly feels like at times, doesn't watching Israel fighting a
fore front war. I mean, as you saw this news
breaking all day, what were your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh, I was in Israel just two weeks ago, and
I was there when those patriots blew up in Lebanon,
and so Samaritans first, we've responded there by providing forty
ambulances to m. Kim David de Dome. That's the emergency
responders like the Red Cross here in this country. That's
(10:51):
the Red Star of David in Israel, and we gave
forty ambulances October seventh last year, they lost fourteen due
to Hamas and they shot the drivers, shot the people
in them, destroyed the ambulances. And so we've replaced those fourteen,
but we decided they need some armored ones, and so
(11:13):
we've been helping to replace or not placed with give
armored so we'll have be up to forty ambulances within
a few months. We've given them money, we've got them
on order, but they need armor plated ambulances. So let's
we're doing this. But it is biblical in a sense.
The Bible tells us that as we approach the end
of this age of this world, the world is going
(11:36):
to turn on Israel. The world is going to become
more violent. People's hearts are going to be more more cold.
And we see that today just in this country. The
anger of people, the road rage that we see on
the highway. We didn't see this thirty forty years ago,
but we just see how people becoming more and more violent.
(12:00):
When the flood came, and when you read the and
Noah in the Bible in Genesis, the Bible says that
the world had become completely violent and the heart of
man was wicked. And that's where we are today. I
just think we're coming down maybe to maybe when Christ
(12:22):
will come back, and I'm looking forward to when that
day is. But until then, I'm going to reach out
and try to help as many people as I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Sean, you really have taken on an incredible mission, and
I just urge all of our listeners to the extent possible.
These people in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, even Kentucky, Virginia, Florida.
You know they are suffering and Samaritans purse. I mean,
(12:49):
you guys are the real deal. You get on the ground,
you get your hands dirty, and you're helping people, and
you're helping them rebuild their lives. And is Samaritans Purse
or the best place for people to go.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Absolutely smarsperst dot Org.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes, sir, well we really appreciate it. Reverend, you're a
good man. Thank you for all the good work you do.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, and I'll get Steve to call you.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, have Steve call me. I appreciate it. Eight hundred
and ninety four one sewn is our number if you
want to do a part of the program quick break
right back. We'll continue wondering why Iran is attacking not
afraid of America. On to Harris and Biden, you know,
listen to Joe Biden, you know, on strikes and Yemen
says he supports collective bargaining. He's totally out of it.
(13:34):
Then John Kirby's saying, well, I can't predict predictive billions
sent to a Ran is going to free up money
for terror? Are you really that stupid?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Listen Penny Content on the strikes and young and mister president.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I think you'll set strike you insist the Iranian regime
won't touch the six million dollars of Iranian five.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He's being unfrozen.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
But isn't it true that this freeze Tehran up to
spend more on other nefarious goals like supporting terrorism and
boosting its nuclear program.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well to the degree that they continue destabilizing activities, and
it's you know, I can't predict what they'll do going forward.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Here, all right, we're going to have the very latest
over one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles fired by Iran
directly into Israel. Trey Yanks has been our chief foreign
correspondent on the ground. He's in Israel today. He just
came out with a new book, by the way, about
October the seventh, called Black Saturday and unfiltered account of
(14:38):
the October seventh attack on Israel and the war in Gaza.
You know, now Israel's officially fighting not a one front war,
two front war, three front war, but a four front war,
and Israel's going to respond. They're not going to take
this anyway. So when we come back, we'll check in
with Trey Yanks. We'll try to get to some of
your phone calls. Eight hundred nine foot one Sean. Remember

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Sean. If you want to be a part of the program,
want to remind you by the way that you can
save money in this Harris Biden economy and not sacrifice
service in any way. Shape maunt reform by making the
switch to my cell phone company, Puretalk. And the beauty
of Pure Talk is they use the same exact cell towers,
the same exact five G network, You get the same
(15:48):
exact service, and you pay about half average family saves
close to one thousand dollars a year for the same
exact service. Now, these companies always say, well, we're going
to give you a free iPhone we're going to give
you this for free, that for free. Don't fall for
their tricks because you're still going to save a lot
more money and get better deals from pure Talk all
(16:08):
the way across the board. And they've got great deals
on phones too, except you're not going to pay the
extra thousand dollars a year for service. For example, for
twenty five dollars a month, you're going to get the
same five G network, same cell tower, same service. You'll
get unlimited talk and text. You're going to get five
gigs of data, more than enough for ninety nine percent
of people mobile hotspot roaming fifty plus countries. Make the switch,
(16:31):

pound two fifty keywords save now from our friends at
pure Talk. And there's no contract assigned, no activation fee,
You keep your phone, you keep your phone number, pound
two fifty keyword save now. We're going to be joined
by my friend Trey Yangsty has been in the middle
of this barrage of ballistic missiles being fired from Iran
(16:56):
into Israel now fighting basically a forefront war. Include the
Uti rebels and Hezbalah from the north at a Lebanon
and Hamas out of the South. Has been a lot
that has happened, with the killing of Nasrallah, the thirty
two year leader of Hezballah, and Iran now getting involved,
(17:17):
although the Supreme Leader is safely ensconced in his bunker
deep underground, scared to death as they always fight their
little proxy wars. I do think there will be a
fierce response by Israel. I don't think they're stopping, and
they're not going to allow these countries and these terror
groups that have been threatening to wipe them off the
(17:39):
face of the earth, or as they say, from the
river to the sea that you hear in the halls
of Congress and on college campuses and around the world,
with the rise of anti Semitism to get there anyway.
Our friend Trey Yangst is with US Fox News Foreign Correspondent,
and he has a new book out called Black Saturday,
an unfiltered account of what happened nearly a year ago
(18:01):
on the October seventh attack on Israel and the war
in Gaza and now the war with Lebanon and now
engaged with the Houti rebels and with Iran directly. This
has all of the markings of something that's about to
spiral out of control in the entire region. Now, Trey
has been you know, on the ground first hand accounts.
(18:24):
I watched them all day to day. One hundred and
eighty missiles from Iran ballistic missiles, most of them fired. Anyway,
Trey is with us, Trey, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, so I'm doing all right. It's truly an unprecedented
moment right now.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
In the region.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, what's the latest. I know it's the missile firing
has stopped, and at least for now, I fully expect
that Prime Minister net Yahu and Israel will respond. I
think the response is probably going to be more fierce
than it was the last time. How many of these
missiles that do you know, all of that actually got through?
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You're exactly right. The expectation here is that the Israelis
are going to respond much harder than they did back
in April when the Iranians first attacked with ballistic missiles.
We don't know exactly how many got through. In total,
there were one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles, according to
the Israeli military, that were launched toward Israel. Some of
them were intercepted outside of Israeli territory and others slammed
(19:25):
into the ground. We've seen images of craters and trapnel
falling down from the sky as Israel's Arrow three missile
system was active. We were standing on a balcony in
the northern city of Haifa and we could see these
interceptor around coming off the skyline and picking off these missiles.
And it gives you assent to just how active the
scene was, as two waves at least were fired from Iran.
(19:48):
Truly unprecedented as we look forward here and as you
noted rightly, so this comes as the Israelis are still
fighting on the ground inside Gaza and just last night
launched a ground operation into southern Lebanon to go after
around back Hesbla.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, pretty amazing. Now let's go back to October seventh.
Then you're right about this, and you've been covering all
of this and putting your life on the line, and
I have nothing but you know, deep admiration for what
you do every day. And I know that often when
I'm talking to you on TV at night, you know
it's three four o'clock in the morning your time, which
(20:24):
I know it's very difficult to do but you're always there,
You're always available. But if you go back to October seven,
twelve hundred people killed, all these people that were kidnapped,
including Americans, we had and what I don't have a
hard time understanding is the rise of virulent anti Semitism
(20:45):
in the halls of Congress college campuses worldwide. We've seen
it since then, you know, chanting from the River to
the Sea, which means annihilate Israel. We know Hamasa's Charta
has Bolas commitment is to wipe Israel off the map.
And Israel had to deal with murder the equivalent of
forty thousand Americans killed in a single day if you
(21:07):
look at their population size versus ours. But there was murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, beheadings.
And I'm trying to understand for those people that are
so anti Israel, what part of that do they not understand?
I don't. I usually could understand the other side a
(21:27):
little bit. I have no understanding of people that don't
recognize this desire of many to wipe Israel off the map.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Absolutely, And I write about this in Black Saturday. We
responded to what we thought was just a rocket attack
that morning on October seventh, I was in Tel Aviv.
I got a call from my producer at seven oh
three in the morning and she said, something's happening in
the south. And so the team and I, like we
always do, drove toward the Gods of Border so we
could do live shots on Fox News. And as we
(21:57):
got closer, we started to understand, Okay, this isn't us
a rocket attack, this is also an infiltration. There are
gunmen in these communities and they've infiltrated into southern Israel
and were looking around and the army was nowhere to
be found. Police were doing the best they could, brave
officers running into the line of fire with pistols, and
(22:19):
it was really a horrific thing to witness. We watched
officers die in front of us. But as the story progressed,
and as we went into these communities along the Gods
of Border known as the Keebo's Siam, we saw the
brutal aftermath. The bodies that were spread throughout these communities
of families that were home on a Saturday morning on Shabbat.
(22:40):
They were peaceful people. And what's so interesting about the
communities that were attacked. They are considered the left of
Israeli society, the peace activists, the people who believed in
finding common ground between Israelis and Palestinians, and they were massacred.
And so I write about this in Black Saturday. And
for the survivors, the people who survived that attack and
(23:01):
some of whom were taken hostage into the Gaza strip,
I also interview them and they were released, some of
them as part of the November Seasfire deal. And the
stories that they tell as they were dragged into the
tunnels beneath Gaza with their young children are just horrific.
And I think that it's easy to forget what happened
on that day less than a year ago, because there
is so much news developing across the region. The Middle
(23:23):
East remains the focal point of foreign policy, especially headed
toward November. But we can't forget about it because it's
important to remember not only did it happen, but it's
still going on. To the Israeli people, there are still
around one hundred hostages, some of them dead and some
of them alive inside.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Gaza, and we don't even know. And I guess having
been to Israel myself, and I actually took a helicopter
ride from the Mediterranean all the way up the coast
into the Old City. I've been to the Old City.
I've had a couple number of tours there. I've been
in the territon. I've been into the road that border
(24:02):
town with Gaza. I've been there when the Iron Dome
was actually firing missiles out of the air one night
when we were there. We come back and the next
day we went to the same kibbutz and it got
it was struck with missiles the night before. In that
one town that we went to, the border town with Gaza,
(24:23):
they had been hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years.
The rockets get more lethal over time. Kids play in
underground bunker playgrounds. They can't play outside because there's not
enough time by the time because of that close proximity
to Gaza. And this is everyday life. And I would
ask people in Gaza, I'm like, well, why do you
stay here? And they'd look at me like I had
five heads, and they'd be like, because it's our home.
(24:47):
And I'm like, I understand, but I mean, you're getting
hammered with missiles by people that are committed to your destruction.
On a daily basis. I might want to move to
a different part of the country, but they're not moving.
They're not going to leave. They refuse and there's a
part of me that admires it.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Yeah, they're brave people, and they're very welcoming of people
who are visiting from abroad, and they're willing to show
you around and really teach you about what life is
like there. And in an interesting way, they've adapted to
life in southern Israel. They've lived under rocket fire for
so long, and these communities along the border have seen
so many changes in the government and the society here,
(25:31):
but many things have remained the same. And I think
that as we look forward in this story, there are
questions about after this brutal attack on October seventh, how
many people will return to those communities that were directly targeted.
And from the people I interviewed for this book, it
was a variety of responses. Actually, one guy who is
the brother of our Fox engineer, he was in a
(25:53):
community called Neros, and these governments stormed the house. When
they couldn't get into his mamad his shelter, they burned
the house down, and thankfully this guy and his wife survived,
and I asked him, I mean, will you ever return,
would you rebuild your house? And he said no, I
just I can't go back there now. And that to
(26:14):
me was just such an indication of the psychological impact
that this attack has had on the people who live
in these communities.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I know that there's there's been some you know, political
issues and differences over you know, how to how to
confront all of this, But at the end of the day,
I've known Prime Minister Natya who personally for nearly thirty years,
and I consider him a front and there's no way
in our lifetime. And you tell me if you think
(26:42):
you're I'm wrong. He's going to allow Israel to be
wiped off of the map under his watch. It's not
going to happen. And I think that they I think
the Iranians, what they did today by escalating with ballistic
missiles is going to it's going to turn out for
them very badly in the end. Look at what they've done.
(27:03):
They've taken out all the leaders of Hamas, they took
out Nozraala finally that after thirty two years, other leaders
from Iran and from Hizballah, and I just there's no
way the Iranians are getting off scott free here. I
could see there were refineries and maybe even the nuclear
sites hit. Is that a stretch.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
No, I don't think it's a stretch at all. And
in about twenty minutes that Yahoo is going to convene
a cabinet meeting and they will likely be discussing these
very options. I mean, there are a variety of targets
on the table for the Israelis, and they can do
everything from send a message to inflict significant damage to
the country's energy sector, to its defense program, to its
(27:44):
nuclear program. But I think the fact that this is
the second ballistic missile attack against Israel in a year,
and just how widespread the attack was, it's going to
be something significant. And this is not a question of
if Israel will respond, but rather when and how.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I appreciate your time, Trey. You're a great colleague, You're
a brave reporter. You do a phenomenal job. He's the
chief foreign correspondent, often reporting out of the Middle East
for the Fox News Channel. His new book is out
Black Saturday, an unfiltered account of the October seventh attack
on Israel and the war in Gaza. We have a
link we're putting up on Hannity dot com. There's one
(28:25):
on Amazon dot com bookstores around the country. Trey, you're
incredibly courageous in your job. You do an amazing amount
of work, and I'm very grateful for everything you do.
Please stay safe.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Sean really appreciate it. Eight hundred and nine to four one.
Shawn is on number. If you want to be a
part of the program. With all the attacks against Israel,
we haven't spent as much time as I wanted to
on the debate tonight. Let me just give you a
quick programming rundown eight thirty Eastern, five thirty Pacific. I'm
going to be on with Breton Martha given an analysis
(28:57):
of what we can expect with the debate. Then mediately
following the debate at ten thirty, I will be on
with them giving some analysis. Then JD will be on
with me in the spin room. Right after you can
get off the stage, get through the crowd of reporters
that are there, and over to wherever it is that
I'll be broadcast. They usually put me in a corner somewhere,
(29:18):
put Hannity in the corner over there. Anyway, so we'll
have full coverage of that. First, there's going to be
Nora o'donald and Margaret Brennan. You tell me if you
don't think they're biased going into tonight's debate, A new line.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
A false attack on Vice President Harris.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Kamalowens full communist.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Will tell you why that's wrong.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
You righte. It is time to take a stand against
Trump if he is dangerous to democracy, as you say,
should he be.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Removed from office.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
There are so many legal issues in this campaign, and
I want to ask you about one involving the President's son,
Hunter Biden, who's going to appear in court this week.
And I wonder, after this plea happens, if you would
advise your party to move on.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
President of the United States castrating the facts of the elections,
disenfranchising millions of voters whose ballots have not been counted
sadly because of the raging pandemic and the failures of
the administration. This is Uncle Joe, you know, regular Joe
from Scranton, Pennsylvania and the rust Belt states, and he's
(30:21):
really talking about that the core values of this nation
are at stake. I mean, he comes with a wealth
of background and to take him on essentially, what are
issues of character?
Speaker 5 (30:29):
He is recovering from these injuries. Now this was a
traumatic event, no doubt for him. But I did notice
there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all
political violence.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
Does Donald Trump bear some responsibility for that?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Does he need to change his rhetoric? I mean it's
the same situation, It's like three on one. I do
have confidence JD knows what he's getting into. But it
is what it is. But anyway, a tough day for Israel.
Also today one hundred and eighty one rockets fired ballistic
missiles fired by Iran into Israel while they were being
(31:07):
hammered from the north by Lebanon and Hiszballah. And it's
been a very very difficult time for the Israeli people.
Our prayers, our thoughts are with them. So that you're DVR, well,
not really. I mean I'll be on an eleven PM
Eastern APM Pacific, and then I'll be on before the debate,
right after the debate with Breton. Martha. Have a great
night back here tomorrow. Thank you for making the show possible.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Do's round up Information Overload. Our toll free our number
is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you
want to be a part of the program. Only thirty
five days till election Day. We have the vice presidential
debate tonight on the Fox News channel, and well it's
actually a CBS debate, but it's pooled. We will have
full coverage, will run the full debate. I will be
(00:25):
on at eight thirty Eastern time. Immediately after the debate,
I'll be on with Breton Martha, and then I'll be
hosting the show. JD. Evans will be my special guest
at eleven Eastern that's eight o'clock out on the West coast.
As you know, early voting now is also started all
around the country. And you know, it looks like the
world is going a hell on a ham basket pretty fast.
(00:47):
As we see the ballistic missile attack direct attack from
Iran at Israel, on top of the never ending attacks
from Gaza and Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in
at Elebanon in the north. It is absolutely frightening. And
(01:07):
to watch Israel, you know, taking in all these ballistic
missiles from Iran and having a swap them out of
the sky. You know, at some point their systems are
going to get overwhelmed. And Israel has had to defend
itself in what part of murder and rape and kidnapping
and torture and beheadings do people not understand. I'm having
(01:28):
a hard time understanding how we have a top presidential
candidate that says we need to be courageous and never
say the words radical Islamic terrorism. On top of that,
we are following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, North Carolina.
It turns out got hit as hard as Florida and Georgia,
if not harder. Boone, North Carolina well known because of
(01:53):
the ministry of the Reverend Billy Graham, his son Franklin
Graham from there, Who's going to join us in a second.
But they are responding all over those counties and the
videos are just absolutely chilling Asheville, North Carolina, Valdosta, Georgia, Perry, Florida, Tampa, Florida.
Many of my friends have gotten hammered there. And yesterday
(02:15):
when President Trump went to Valdosta, he was joined by
the Reverend Franklin Graham and he's the CEO of both
Samaritans Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. And as usual,
you know, Samaritans Purse is there. They're on the ground
and they're helping with food and water and medicine and
(02:37):
supplies and gas and energy and basically every need that
people need. We saw their great work during COVID they
set up a hospital in Italy. They set up a
hospital in Central Park until that got politicized, which never
should have happened. But just so you know, yesterday I
got in touch with the Samaritans Purse Ministry and I
(03:01):
made a donation and because I just I just believe
in the great work that they do. They're the real deal.
And the Reverend Franklin Graham has been a long time
friend of this program, friend of mine, and it's anana
to always have you back. Sir.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, thank you, Sean. Good to be with you.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I appreciate it. You've been seeing the devastation up close
and personal, and I'd hope that people will go to
samaritanspers dot org and whatever they can donate. One thing
about the American people, they're very generous when others are
in need, and there are a lot of people in
need right now.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
What are you seeing, Well, there's no questions, a lot
of need. And one of the problems, Sean, is here
in the mountains of western North Carolina. I mean it's
beautiful and many people have gone back up in the
mountains and Bill Holmes and what's happened with this heavy
rain that came. Roads washed away and so their entire community.
(03:55):
There are entire communities that are left stranded. Can't get in,
they can't get out, there's no self service, no electricity.
I have no I don't have electricity in my home.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I can't do I need to buy Franklin Graham
a generator. Would you like me to buy you a
generator for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But you know, I appreciate that, Seawn. I got a generator,
But the problem is the fuel for the generator. You
got to keep that thing going. So you you turn
your generator on for a few hours a day and
then turn it off to conserve the fuel. But it's
really they're people that have lost everything. And we had
a lady we volunteers went to her house earlier today
(04:36):
and she had tears streaming down sheet. She said I'm
not crying because I lost everything, She said, I'm crying
because love has just showed up. And she was thinking
of those volunteers that poured al the van come in
there to help her, and she saw those every faces
a face of love. And you know, it's just an opportunity, Shawn,
for us to help people. These are our citizens, these
(04:58):
are our neighbors, this is our country. Many times we're
working in other countries, but we have an opportunity now
to help here in North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
It's just incredible. But the mountains, especially here in western
North Carolina, from from Boone where I live, all the
way down to Ashville, the devastation is We've never seen
(05:23):
it like this before.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And I don't think people understand. I was very My
heart was warmed at the fact. And we got confirmation
of this from Elon Musk himself, and President Trump was
in touch with Elon Musk yesterday and he's axed out today.
Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many
(05:45):
Starling terminals as possible to help areas in need. Earlier today,
the President Donald Trump alerted me to additional people who
need starlink internet in North Carolina. We're sending those terminals
right away. I mean, it's amazing that people just you know,
they didn't bat an eyelash. They just step up and
they and they help, and you're seeing it up front
(06:08):
and personal. So I'm very grateful to all that you're doing.
But with your own eyes and the people that you're
talking to in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, you know
how bad is it in some of these areas well.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's we've never seen it like this before. Shaw, this
is the worst we've ever seen. And to talk about
Elon Musk the starlink, we could use hundreds of those
if we had them. But you have to give a
small generator along with the starlink because you've got to
be able to plug it in. And that's the problem.
There's no electricity. But if we can get a small generator,
(06:45):
I'm talking about like a Honda one thousand, and I
think it will run almost all day on a court
of gasoline. But that's starlink and a small generator I'd
get by ahead. I've given them to churches because in
almost every community, the church is reaching out to people
(07:06):
up and down those hollers, up and down the rivers.
They're the people who know I mean, the churches know
where the people are and how to get to them.
And so we believe in working with the local church.
And there's hundreds of churches here in western North Carolina
that I could use a starlink. So if Elon Musker is listening,
I hope he'll send us some because we will use
(07:27):
them immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, there are great people in this audience too. By
the way, I contacted you guys, Steve yesterday. He never
got back to us. I texted him and tell him
I want to send it out. You can buy a
bunch of generators with the money I wanted to send over.
And it's my pleasure. And I know this audience is
generous Samaranspurse dot org. And it's amazing when your trucks
show up, and your tractor trailers show up, and your
(07:50):
planes show up. I mean, is it is life for
people whose entire lives have been you know, turned upside down.
I mean, it's it's so hard when you think of
how you know, people work their entire lives to get
a home and they get it and then you know,
in just as a matter of an hour or so,
everything could be wiped away, and you have seeing a
(08:11):
lot of that in the course of your life and
your work and.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Sean, a lot of the people that lost everything are
not necessarily wealthy people. These are hard working people and
they go from paycheck to paycheck and not only have
they lost their home the love oflihood, but their property
is destroyed. And it's going to take a long time
to come back from the Sean, and it could take
(08:38):
a year or more for this just to get the
roads back up to where you can to reach these communities.
And as far as power, I don't know when that's
going to come back, but hopefully in the next few weeks.
But we just need to pray for the people here
that as we reach out Samaritans person we reach out Sean,
we do it in Jesus' name. It's not the name
(08:58):
of Franklin Graham or or Samaritans. First, we reach out
in Jesus' name. We want these people to know that
God loves them, He's not mad at him. And many
times when people come to the storm Shaw, they think
God is mad at him. No, the Bible tells us
that God loves us, and if we put our faith
in trust in Him and his son Jesus Christ, we
(09:19):
know that God will forgive our sins, and he'll heal
our hearts, and he'll take us through these storms, and
he'll get us all the way to the other side
one day with Him in heaven. And that's what we
want the people to know, is that God loves them
in the middle of this storm. When we show up,
we're showing up in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, I know that you do that, and I will
tell you as you get older. I was kidding with
you in a text and I said, you really do
look more like your dad every day. It's amazing, I
would say, in some ways you kind of look like twins.
But I know your dad's very proud of the great
work that he accomplished in his life, and you're following
through on it. You know, you once said that these
(09:58):
times see almost biblical, that you know as you read
the Bible, and you're far more knowledgeable than I am,
although I have started doing Bible studies and I do
them regularly, and you know, I feel like I'm very
familiar with the scripture. Haven't been raised Catholic, but I'm
more non denominational now, and I can tell you it
(10:21):
certainly feels like at times, doesn't watching Israel fighting a
fore front war. I mean, as you saw this news
breaking all day, what were your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh, I was in Israel just two weeks ago, and
I was there when those patriots blew up in Lebanon,
and so Samaritans first, we've responded there by providing forty
ambulances to m. Kim David de Dome. That's the emergency
responders like the Red Cross here in this country. That's
(10:51):
the Red Star of David in Israel, and we gave
forty ambulances October seventh last year, they lost fourteen due
to Hamas and they shot the drivers, shot the people
in them, destroyed the ambulances. And so we've replaced those fourteen,
but we decided they need some armored ones, and so
(11:13):
we've been helping to replace or not placed with give
armored so we'll have be up to forty ambulances within
a few months. We've given them money, we've got them
on order, but they need armor plated ambulances. So let's
we're doing this. But it is biblical in a sense.
The Bible tells us that as we approach the end
of this age of this world, the world is going
(11:36):
to turn on Israel. The world is going to become
more violent. People's hearts are going to be more more cold.
And we see that today just in this country. The
anger of people, the road rage that we see on
the highway. We didn't see this thirty forty years ago,
but we just see how people becoming more and more violent.
(12:00):
When the flood came, and when you read the and
Noah in the Bible in Genesis, the Bible says that
the world had become completely violent and the heart of
man was wicked. And that's where we are today. I
just think we're coming down maybe to maybe when Christ
(12:22):
will come back, and I'm looking forward to when that
day is. But until then, I'm going to reach out
and try to help as many people as I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Sean, you really have taken on an incredible mission, and
I just urge all of our listeners to the extent possible.
These people in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, even Kentucky, Virginia, Florida.
You know they are suffering and Samaritans purse. I mean,
(12:49):
you guys are the real deal. You get on the ground,
you get your hands dirty, and you're helping people, and
you're helping them rebuild their lives. And is Samaritans Purse
or the best place for people to go.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Absolutely smarsperst dot Org.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes, sir, well we really appreciate it. Reverend, you're a
good man. Thank you for all the good work you do.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, and I'll get Steve to call you.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, have Steve call me. I appreciate it. Eight hundred
and ninety four one sewn is our number if you
want to do a part of the program quick break
right back. We'll continue wondering why Iran is attacking not
afraid of America. On to Harris and Biden, you know,
listen to Joe Biden, you know, on strikes and Yemen
says he supports collective bargaining. He's totally out of it.
(13:34):
Then John Kirby's saying, well, I can't predict predictive billions
sent to a Ran is going to free up money
for terror? Are you really that stupid?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Listen Penny Content on the strikes and young and mister president.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I think you'll set strike you insist the Iranian regime
won't touch the six million dollars of Iranian five.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He's being unfrozen.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
But isn't it true that this freeze Tehran up to
spend more on other nefarious goals like supporting terrorism and
boosting its nuclear program.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well to the degree that they continue destabilizing activities, and
it's you know, I can't predict what they'll do going forward.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Here, all right, we're going to have the very latest
over one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles fired by Iran
directly into Israel. Trey Yanks has been our chief foreign
correspondent on the ground. He's in Israel today. He just
came out with a new book, by the way, about
October the seventh, called Black Saturday and unfiltered account of
(14:38):
the October seventh attack on Israel and the war in Gaza.
You know, now Israel's officially fighting not a one front war,
two front war, three front war, but a four front war,
and Israel's going to respond. They're not going to take
this anyway. So when we come back, we'll check in
with Trey Yanks. We'll try to get to some of
your phone calls. Eight hundred nine foot one Sean. Remember
I'm on an eight thirty tonight on the Fox News
(14:59):
Channel in the up to the Jdvans Tim Walls debate,
and I'll be on immediately after ten thirty and then
Hannity with JD Vance at eleven o'clock tonight. All right,
so different programming times tonight, all coming up on the
Fox News Channel. Quick break, right back, We'll continue.

board at Hannity dot com a twenty five till the
top of the hour. Toll free. Our number is eight
hundred nine four one.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Sean. If you want to be a part of the program,
want to remind you by the way that you can
save money in this Harris Biden economy and not sacrifice
service in any way. Shape maunt reform by making the
switch to my cell phone company, Puretalk. And the beauty
of Pure Talk is they use the same exact cell towers,
the same exact five G network, You get the same
(15:48):
exact service, and you pay about half average family saves
close to one thousand dollars a year for the same
exact service. Now, these companies always say, well, we're going
to give you a free iPhone we're going to give
you this for free, that for free. Don't fall for
their tricks because you're still going to save a lot
more money and get better deals from pure Talk all
(16:08):
the way across the board. And they've got great deals
on phones too, except you're not going to pay the
extra thousand dollars a year for service. For example, for
twenty five dollars a month, you're going to get the
same five G network, same cell tower, same service. You'll
get unlimited talk and text. You're going to get five
gigs of data, more than enough for ninety nine percent
of people mobile hotspot roaming fifty plus countries. Make the switch,
(16:31):
save money, same service, pound two fifty keywords save now,
pound two fifty keywords save now from our friends at
pure Talk. And there's no contract assigned, no activation fee,
You keep your phone, you keep your phone number, pound
two fifty keyword save now. We're going to be joined
by my friend Trey Yangsty has been in the middle
of this barrage of ballistic missiles being fired from Iran
(16:56):
into Israel now fighting basically a forefront war. Include the
Uti rebels and Hezbalah from the north at a Lebanon
and Hamas out of the South. Has been a lot
that has happened, with the killing of Nasrallah, the thirty
two year leader of Hezballah, and Iran now getting involved,
(17:17):
although the Supreme Leader is safely ensconced in his bunker
deep underground, scared to death as they always fight their
little proxy wars. I do think there will be a
fierce response by Israel. I don't think they're stopping, and
they're not going to allow these countries and these terror
groups that have been threatening to wipe them off the
(17:39):
face of the earth, or as they say, from the
river to the sea that you hear in the halls
of Congress and on college campuses and around the world,
with the rise of anti Semitism to get there anyway.
Our friend Trey Yangst is with US Fox News Foreign Correspondent,
and he has a new book out called Black Saturday,
an unfiltered account of what happened nearly a year ago
(18:01):
on the October seventh attack on Israel and the war
in Gaza and now the war with Lebanon and now
engaged with the Houti rebels and with Iran directly. This
has all of the markings of something that's about to
spiral out of control in the entire region. Now, Trey
has been you know, on the ground first hand accounts.
(18:24):
I watched them all day to day. One hundred and
eighty missiles from Iran ballistic missiles, most of them fired. Anyway,
Trey is with us, Trey, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, so I'm doing all right. It's truly an unprecedented
moment right now.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
In the region.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, what's the latest. I know it's the missile firing
has stopped, and at least for now, I fully expect
that Prime Minister net Yahu and Israel will respond. I
think the response is probably going to be more fierce
than it was the last time. How many of these
missiles that do you know, all of that actually got through?
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You're exactly right. The expectation here is that the Israelis
are going to respond much harder than they did back
in April when the Iranians first attacked with ballistic missiles.
We don't know exactly how many got through. In total,
there were one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles, according to
the Israeli military, that were launched toward Israel. Some of
them were intercepted outside of Israeli territory and others slammed
(19:25):
into the ground. We've seen images of craters and trapnel
falling down from the sky as Israel's Arrow three missile
system was active. We were standing on a balcony in
the northern city of Haifa and we could see these
interceptor around coming off the skyline and picking off these missiles.
And it gives you assent to just how active the
scene was, as two waves at least were fired from Iran.
(19:48):
Truly unprecedented as we look forward here and as you
noted rightly, so this comes as the Israelis are still
fighting on the ground inside Gaza and just last night
launched a ground operation into southern Lebanon to go after
around back Hesbla.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, pretty amazing. Now let's go back to October seventh.
Then you're right about this, and you've been covering all
of this and putting your life on the line, and
I have nothing but you know, deep admiration for what
you do every day. And I know that often when
I'm talking to you on TV at night, you know
it's three four o'clock in the morning your time, which
(20:24):
I know it's very difficult to do but you're always there,
You're always available. But if you go back to October seven,
twelve hundred people killed, all these people that were kidnapped,
including Americans, we had and what I don't have a
hard time understanding is the rise of virulent anti Semitism
(20:45):
in the halls of Congress college campuses worldwide. We've seen
it since then, you know, chanting from the River to
the Sea, which means annihilate Israel. We know Hamasa's Charta
has Bolas commitment is to wipe Israel off the map.
And Israel had to deal with murder the equivalent of
forty thousand Americans killed in a single day if you
(21:07):
look at their population size versus ours. But there was murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, beheadings.
And I'm trying to understand for those people that are
so anti Israel, what part of that do they not understand?
I don't. I usually could understand the other side a
(21:27):
little bit. I have no understanding of people that don't
recognize this desire of many to wipe Israel off the map.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Absolutely, And I write about this in Black Saturday. We
responded to what we thought was just a rocket attack
that morning on October seventh, I was in Tel Aviv.
I got a call from my producer at seven oh
three in the morning and she said, something's happening in
the south. And so the team and I, like we
always do, drove toward the Gods of Border so we
could do live shots on Fox News. And as we
(21:57):
got closer, we started to understand, Okay, this isn't us
a rocket attack, this is also an infiltration. There are
gunmen in these communities and they've infiltrated into southern Israel
and were looking around and the army was nowhere to
be found. Police were doing the best they could, brave
officers running into the line of fire with pistols, and
(22:19):
it was really a horrific thing to witness. We watched
officers die in front of us. But as the story progressed,
and as we went into these communities along the Gods
of Border known as the Keebo's Siam, we saw the
brutal aftermath. The bodies that were spread throughout these communities
of families that were home on a Saturday morning on Shabbat.
(22:40):
They were peaceful people. And what's so interesting about the
communities that were attacked. They are considered the left of
Israeli society, the peace activists, the people who believed in
finding common ground between Israelis and Palestinians, and they were massacred.
And so I write about this in Black Saturday. And
for the survivors, the people who survived that attack and
(23:01):
some of whom were taken hostage into the Gaza strip,
I also interview them and they were released, some of
them as part of the November Seasfire deal. And the
stories that they tell as they were dragged into the
tunnels beneath Gaza with their young children are just horrific.
And I think that it's easy to forget what happened
on that day less than a year ago, because there
is so much news developing across the region. The Middle
(23:23):
East remains the focal point of foreign policy, especially headed
toward November. But we can't forget about it because it's
important to remember not only did it happen, but it's
still going on. To the Israeli people, there are still
around one hundred hostages, some of them dead and some
of them alive inside.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Gaza, and we don't even know. And I guess having
been to Israel myself, and I actually took a helicopter
ride from the Mediterranean all the way up the coast
into the Old City. I've been to the Old City.
I've had a couple number of tours there. I've been
in the territon. I've been into the road that border
(24:02):
town with Gaza. I've been there when the Iron Dome
was actually firing missiles out of the air one night
when we were there. We come back and the next
day we went to the same kibbutz and it got
it was struck with missiles the night before. In that
one town that we went to, the border town with Gaza,
(24:23):
they had been hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years.
The rockets get more lethal over time. Kids play in
underground bunker playgrounds. They can't play outside because there's not
enough time by the time because of that close proximity
to Gaza. And this is everyday life. And I would
ask people in Gaza, I'm like, well, why do you
stay here? And they'd look at me like I had
five heads, and they'd be like, because it's our home.
(24:47):
And I'm like, I understand, but I mean, you're getting
hammered with missiles by people that are committed to your destruction.
On a daily basis. I might want to move to
a different part of the country, but they're not moving.
They're not going to leave. They refuse and there's a
part of me that admires it.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Yeah, they're brave people, and they're very welcoming of people
who are visiting from abroad, and they're willing to show
you around and really teach you about what life is
like there. And in an interesting way, they've adapted to
life in southern Israel. They've lived under rocket fire for
so long, and these communities along the border have seen
so many changes in the government and the society here,
(25:31):
but many things have remained the same. And I think
that as we look forward in this story, there are
questions about after this brutal attack on October seventh, how
many people will return to those communities that were directly targeted.
And from the people I interviewed for this book, it
was a variety of responses. Actually, one guy who is
the brother of our Fox engineer, he was in a
(25:53):
community called Neros, and these governments stormed the house. When
they couldn't get into his mamad his shelter, they burned
the house down, and thankfully this guy and his wife survived,
and I asked him, I mean, will you ever return,
would you rebuild your house? And he said no, I
just I can't go back there now. And that to
(26:14):
me was just such an indication of the psychological impact
that this attack has had on the people who live
in these communities.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I know that there's there's been some you know, political
issues and differences over you know, how to how to
confront all of this, But at the end of the day,
I've known Prime Minister Natya who personally for nearly thirty years,
and I consider him a front and there's no way
in our lifetime. And you tell me if you think
(26:42):
you're I'm wrong. He's going to allow Israel to be
wiped off of the map under his watch. It's not
going to happen. And I think that they I think
the Iranians, what they did today by escalating with ballistic
missiles is going to it's going to turn out for
them very badly in the end. Look at what they've done.
(27:03):
They've taken out all the leaders of Hamas, they took
out Nozraala finally that after thirty two years, other leaders
from Iran and from Hizballah, and I just there's no
way the Iranians are getting off scott free here. I
could see there were refineries and maybe even the nuclear
sites hit. Is that a stretch.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
No, I don't think it's a stretch at all. And
in about twenty minutes that Yahoo is going to convene
a cabinet meeting and they will likely be discussing these
very options. I mean, there are a variety of targets
on the table for the Israelis, and they can do
everything from send a message to inflict significant damage to
the country's energy sector, to its defense program, to its
(27:44):
nuclear program. But I think the fact that this is
the second ballistic missile attack against Israel in a year,
and just how widespread the attack was, it's going to
be something significant. And this is not a question of
if Israel will respond, but rather when and how.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I appreciate your time, Trey. You're a great colleague, You're
a brave reporter. You do a phenomenal job. He's the
chief foreign correspondent, often reporting out of the Middle East
for the Fox News Channel. His new book is out
Black Saturday, an unfiltered account of the October seventh attack
on Israel and the war in Gaza. We have a
link we're putting up on Hannity dot com. There's one
(28:25):
on Amazon dot com bookstores around the country. Trey, you're
incredibly courageous in your job. You do an amazing amount
of work, and I'm very grateful for everything you do.
Please stay safe.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Sean really appreciate it. Eight hundred and nine to four one.
Shawn is on number. If you want to be a
part of the program. With all the attacks against Israel,
we haven't spent as much time as I wanted to
on the debate tonight. Let me just give you a
quick programming rundown eight thirty Eastern, five thirty Pacific. I'm
going to be on with Breton Martha given an analysis
(28:57):
of what we can expect with the debate. Then mediately
following the debate at ten thirty, I will be on
with them giving some analysis. Then JD will be on
with me in the spin room. Right after you can
get off the stage, get through the crowd of reporters
that are there, and over to wherever it is that
I'll be broadcast. They usually put me in a corner somewhere,
(29:18):
put Hannity in the corner over there. Anyway, so we'll
have full coverage of that. First, there's going to be
Nora o'donald and Margaret Brennan. You tell me if you
don't think they're biased going into tonight's debate, A new line.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
A false attack on Vice President Harris.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Kamalowens full communist.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Will tell you why that's wrong.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
You righte. It is time to take a stand against
Trump if he is dangerous to democracy, as you say,
should he be.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Removed from office.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
There are so many legal issues in this campaign, and
I want to ask you about one involving the President's son,
Hunter Biden, who's going to appear in court this week.
And I wonder, after this plea happens, if you would
advise your party to move on.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
President of the United States castrating the facts of the elections,
disenfranchising millions of voters whose ballots have not been counted
sadly because of the raging pandemic and the failures of
the administration. This is Uncle Joe, you know, regular Joe
from Scranton, Pennsylvania and the rust Belt states, and he's
(30:21):
really talking about that the core values of this nation
are at stake. I mean, he comes with a wealth
of background and to take him on essentially, what are
issues of character?
Speaker 5 (30:29):
He is recovering from these injuries. Now this was a
traumatic event, no doubt for him. But I did notice
there was no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all
political violence.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
Does Donald Trump bear some responsibility for that?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Does he need to change his rhetoric? I mean it's
the same situation, It's like three on one. I do
have confidence JD knows what he's getting into. But it
is what it is. But anyway, a tough day for Israel.
Also today one hundred and eighty one rockets fired ballistic
missiles fired by Iran into Israel while they were being
(31:07):
hammered from the north by Lebanon and Hiszballah. And it's
been a very very difficult time for the Israeli people.
Our prayers, our thoughts are with them. So that you're DVR, well,
not really. I mean I'll be on an eleven PM
Eastern APM Pacific, and then I'll be on before the debate,
right after the debate with Breton. Martha. Have a great
night back here tomorrow. Thank you for making the show possible.
