And if you want a little come along, bend it. Twenty years of conflict in Afghanistan, and as we close this period of relentless war, we're opening the new air of reletters diplomacy progressives. As you have alluded to, we are currently being held hostage by conservative Democrats. We are very concerned that Haitians who are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information that the border is open. Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution where I'm coming to y'all sent you a cow Sean Hannity Show behind the scenes, information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show America Trap Behind Enemy Lines, Day number forty one, forty one night Our two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let me see. Let me go through this transcript live just to make sure I got this thing right. So we got reporter question one, reporter question two. Then we've got reporter question three, four, and let's see did we make it to five? Apparently now four question that's not a press conference, that's Joe Biden going out there screaming, yelling, scolding, angry, blaming everybody and anybody but himself. I inherited, I inherited, I inherited. You inherited secure borders, You inherited energy independence. You inherited three vaccines and monoclonal antibodies that you only mentioned a week and a half ago. You inherited an America that was strong around the world. You inherited a secure cobble, a secure Afghanistan where nobody died in the last eighteen months. To Joe, and I won't apologize for anything that I've done. Oh okay. Meanwhile, you abandoned our fellow Americans. You can't even give us a number how many, And you don't want to even talk about You didn't even mention the hostages today. How do you not mention the hostages Americans you abandoned, and Green card holders in the thousands and their families and Afghan allies that are being shot, killed and murdered. And by the way, the good old Taliban days are back, as they're now bringing back public executions and amputations. Women are out of school, can't go to work. The good old days are back very very professional and business like, right, Joe. Unbelievable Anyways, poll numbers are tanking. But according to Joe, I don't look at the polls. They go up and they go down. What a genius. Listen and again, I'll just conclude myself, this is a process, process, and it's going to be up and down. Come on, man, That's why I don't look at the polls. Not a joke, because it's going to go up and it's going to go down. It's gonna go up and hopefully at the end of the day I'll be able to deliver on what I said I would do. There you go up there, Come on, come on, come on, man, did you did you do cocaine before the show? You smoke crack like my hunter. Come on, man, you're a junkie. I just can't even believe it. Anyway, if you look at the poles that he's apparently Joe is not looking at, he's losing ground. And this is where it gets interesting. On every substantive issue Afghanistan, COVID, borders, etc. Um, the economy, but also his approval rating has fallen sharply in terms of his personal traits. In other words, the positive evaluations of his personal traits. Yeah, they're going down dramatically as well. And the Cook Political Report, you know, private polling is picking up double digit drops in his performance and competitive house districts. We've talked about thirty two separate, very important swing states in the country, and they're down dramatically. It's down to thirty two percent approval rating in Iowa, for example. That would be called what we say in the business a bellweather. You know, sudden doubts about his confidence are coming in fast and furious. Now Americans have decided he's too old for this job. He's not up for this job. Okay, hey, we've been telling you about that too. Margin of fifty seven and forty three percent. His performance shows that he's too old to be presidents, as opposed to showing he's fit to be president. Who are the forty three percent to think he's fit? I don't know what they're smoking. Maybe I need that. Matt Towery and John mclack on our posters are back with us. Welcome back both of you. And then the one other poll I didn't mention is that you know now Donald Trump is his approval rating has been rising dramatically. I guess retrospect mean tweets. But let's see a competent president that literally kept the radical Taliban in check, that killed the caliphate, Solomoni Baghdaddy, the Alqaeda leader in Yemen, that brought us to energy independence for the first time in seventy five years, secured the border, had no inflation, record, low unemployment, three vaccines, and one therapeutic called monoclonal antibodies. I'd say that Donald Trump's mean tweets perhaps are being seen in a different light now, John McLaughlin. Yes. In fact, by the way, you've been ahead of this curve that You've had Matt myself on the show, and we've been saying he's starting to slip. He's slipping badly. Trump left him with the vaccines, left him with the growing economy, and we had We've been tracking as Paul since May. But as a September fourteen, fifty eight percent of all Americans thought that Joe's not going to serve the full four years. They think Kamela Harris to be president. But even still, we asked, this is a thousand likely vote across the country. We asked him, I used to do they agree or disagree? I used to dislike Trump's aggressive, confrontational style, but now that I see how weak Biden was in dealing with the Taliban Afghanistan, I'm thinking maybe Trump wasn't so bad. Fifty two to forty four all voters agree with that statement. It takes a tough man to be a good president. When I see how week Biden is, I'm coming to appreciate Trump more, and I think I'm thinking we need a bit more of Trump's toughness right now. Fifty six percent of all voters agreed with that, only forty percent disagree, twenty three percent of Biden voters, twenty seven percent the Democrats agreed with that. Finally, we asked, do you agree or disagree with this statement? Say what you will about Donald Trump, but we have very low inflation, less illegal immigration, gas prices were much lower, and until things exploded after George Floyd's murder, there was much less crime when he was president. Sixty percent of all voters agree with that, Only thirty five disagree, twenty eight percent of the Biden voters, thirty two percent of the Democrats. Trump and at Poles we had over a week ago, Trump would beat Biden and Harris decisively an electoral land flight, and yesterday Muslim reports had Trump leading Biden fifty one forty one and Trump leading Harris fifty two to thirty nine. There is huge buyer's remors going on. And guess what Joe Biden did in seven months what it took Jimmy Carter to do in four years. He's wrecking a perfectly good economy, and he's the weakest president in the history of the country, where he's actually surrendered a country that we defended for twenty years. He's passing in the polls. Well, John stole most in my good lines, I gotta tell you. But let's look at this not just not just his great poem, but also nationally in the real clear politics average, he's down on the average four point six percent. But in reality, if it weren't for a couple of outlier polls, he would be worked. Gallup has him today, and I've always saw like Gallup as the best at measuring presidential approval. That's one thing they do very well. They have the president down ten points. That's about where he should be and probably a little lower than that in reality. But I want to make another point, and that, as you mentioned, all the other reasons, various topics where he's down. But there was a Dallas Morning news hole taken in Texas that I think is very interesting. It shows that fifty four percent of the Hispanic Latino population that they surveyed for this whole disapproved of Joe Biden. Now they are living this whole border crisis in Texas. I would submit to you that if the Republican National Committee were to start showing what's going on on the border every week by buying ads and showing the rest of the country, his approval Latino and Hispanic voters throughout this country would be that low. They clearly. I mean when a news event happened Sean, like the Afghanistan issue where the press finally had to break through and let the truth be shown, he drops like a rock. And the rest of the country doesn't know what's going on in Texas as much as those who watched maybe some cable news. But if they were to see it, these numbers we go, well, they'd be even lower. I think it's you can't miss it now over time. I mean, it's the type of thing where you know some people over the course of my career and say, well, why do you, why do you? Why do you repeat certain statistics? There's a method to my madness because I want everybody else to be able to repeat it. And then this way they go out and it becomes an echo chamber. In an election year, if I start with a list and everybody knows the list by November, then they can recite the list to every one of their friends, every one of their relatives, and anybody they run into. And that's the whole idea, because a lot of people don't get news as as objective as the news that we give. That's right, objective, actual facts instead of fiction. But you know, the reality is, it's an unmitigated disaster begging OPEC for oil. Just think about that one issue, you know, having a waiver to putin while simultaneously taking away pipeline building jobs in America. Look at abandoning Americans behind enemy lines and acting as though he didn't do it. Those people are still left behind enemy lines, and the Taliban is going right back to being the fierce, brutal terrorists they were the last time twenty years ago. Those Americans, I don't think we're going to get them all home. I hope to God I'm wrong. I pray I'm wrong. I'd love to be able to say we've successfully extracted every last American, every one of their family members, every Green card holder, every one of our Afghan allies. But I think you both agree with me. The odds are pretty low. Then you look at the disaster at the border, in the middle of a pandemic, and then the outright lying to us, well, they're not going to be here very long, so we don't need to COVID test them. I don't think any of these lies are going to fly, and I think over time it's accumulating into what can only be described as a disaster. John McLaughlin absolutely, And but you know people are seeing this because it's breaking through the mainstream media, the mainstream media that's cobbling Piden and is not telling them what's going on. It's getting out there. And we're doing focus groups for New Gingrich because people are realizing that these swing voters that we interview and that we talked to in in August poll, they said that biggerment socialism has taken over the Democrat Party sixteen nine to thirty one. And in focus groups, average person African American swing voters. Senior citizens are telling us they're getting mugged at the supermarket every day with high prices, They're paying more for gas utilities, and now they can't afford basic food costs, whereas their monthly budget is basically saying, you know you're going to spend more on food. The price of eggs, bread, milk, butter, it's all going up. Excuse me. The price of a pound of oscar Meyer thick cut bacon happened to be my favorite. I do my own food shopping. I don't know why people say, what are you doing here? Every time I'm in the grocery store. That's the honest question I've ever heard. I say, Obviously, I like to eat, but the price is up two bucks. You're paying a buck fifty more a gallon. And you're paying more for every item in every grocery store because it costs more to ship it. Every That would be every home depot, that would be every Lows, that would be every CVS, Rite, Aid, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, you name it. You're paying more for everything, and that is an added tax. Then they have three trillion more in taxes, including of corporate tax. We all know the corporations don't pay taxes, do they, Matt Towery, Well, let me tell you the truth of the matter is that you have a Biden white House that operates completely by the polls and completely by politics. This has been probably the most politically driven White House I've seen in my lifetime. So they know their numbers are going down for these very reasons. They know that they've got a problem with inflation, they know that they have a problem with the border. But they know that they messed up in Afghanistan. But the issue that they're dealing with right now is how to wham as much liberal stuff through this country as fast as they can. That's why they're still pushing this incredible Now, it's not three point five trillion. What is the true number? What five to seven trillion? We're being over five trillion when you add it all together. But yeah, there's three point five trillion. Well, no, I think their business analysis that was done I've read today or yes yesterday, it says it's really many more trillion than even the higher numbers. Well, then you add the one point two trillidren, the six hundred billion, and all the other moneys prior to that, and yeah, you're you're at six or seven trillion. You're right, that would be an accurate number. It's just unbelievable. And they're they're pushing this as hard as they Again, they want to use what little political capital they have left to keep the borders as open as possible to pass this legislation that is clearly going to be way too expensive in this country. Most people know that they're going to continue to push these these programs because they don't care about Joe Biden's peing numbers down the road. Here's the biggest channel. Republicans can stop this in its tracks. They have to be able to withstand the oh, you shut the government down lectures, John McLaughlin. And that is all the full faith and credit of the United States is hanging in the balance. Quick break more of the posters, Matt Towery, John McLaughlin. Then your calls coming up eight hundred and nine for one Seawan. You want to be a part of the program. All right, we continue with our posters, John McLaughlin, Matt Towia. With us, We've been through enough government shutdowns. This is not our first rodeo, all three of us. It always ends up. You always keep essential workers, social Security checks will go out, our defenses are up. As a country, people get a free vacation, they always end up getting back pay. So the government never really shuts down, does it. But Republicans should be arguing, you own both House of the Congress in the White House, you raise the debt limit, we're not going to help you exactly. And by the way, the government shut down, that's a joke. Have you been to Washington lately. They're not in the office. Everybody gets another good point, and they're not in the office. Drive around Washington. Send some people out for your TV show. They're not there. There's homeless people, there's crime, and the businesses are getting killed because they have no customers because the government workers are still getting paid and they're not in the office. And guess what, we can flip the argument on the debt ceiling them because basically, if we don't raise the ceiling, they can't spend the three point five trillion or five trillion or seven trillion. How many zeros are in that they can't spend that money. Yeah, but never underestimate a Republican party's ability to be weak in buckle. Last word, we have twenty seconds mount Towery, Well, to your point, Sean, that we were all around when Gingrich shut the country down, and what we got from that was Bill Clinton, a new Bill Clinton who decided he was going to support a balanced budget and was going to bring a balanced budget. That would have never happened if new Gingrich had not stood up and taken that stand. And the Republicans have to do it again. They got to show the fortitude or they're gonna get it run over like they are so often when someone gets weak on this issue. It's going to be fascinating to watch. The sad part of this is it's not even the political victory. The sad part is the country's deteriorating on every level. And I never thought it could happen. I never thought it would be this bad, this fast, And I wrote a book warning how bad it would be. Live Free or Die America and the world on the brink. I spell out a pretty dire scenario. While it's all coming true. Unfortunately, I wish I was wrong there too, Matt Towery, John McLaughlin, thank you eight hundred and nine four one. Sean. You want to be a part of the program Quick Break right Back, Breaking news all afternoon when you get off work, be sure to check in first for everything you missed during the day. This is the Sean Hannity Show. Hi twenty five to the top of the hour. Gladuate with us eight hundred and nine for one Sean. You want to join us. We've got a great Hannity tonight. We'll tell you about that coming up. Tony is in the city of Detroit. You want to look at, you know, exhibit a of what radical democratic policies and the unholy relationship between the Democratic Party and unions ends up getting you losing half your population, bulldozing entire neighborhoods to consolidates services. Yeah, that would be Detroit, the once great, great city of Detroit. Still great people there, but Detroit, you know was This is what can happen to America. It is a preview of coming attractions. California losing population for the first time in one hundred and seventy one years. Not a surprise, is it. When you tax people into oblivion, regulate them into oblivion. You don't follow the science of forestry, and you have rolling brown and blackouts all throughout California. You regulate people to death. You have a corrupt government, one standard for them and another standard for everyone else. And of course government just mailing out checks before and after recall elections. Amazing, Tony, how are you good? How are you doing? But we got that one big problem. And she's sitting there in Lanting right now. But now we don't want to talk about her at all. But I got a question for you. Haiti is surrounded by water, sitting below Cuba, about six hundred miles from the coast of my Amy, Florida. It's sixteen hundred miles from Haiti to Del Rio, Texas. How did these Haitians get from Haiti to Del Rio, Texas without nobody noticing? Ten thousand of them going through Mexico. Nobody wore in the Biden's administration that there's people coming towards the border. Well, you're asking a great question. It's you know, how did the Taliban get to Kabbo way up you know, in the north, in the northern part of the state, more Middleton, northern part of the country. Rather, how did they get there when they started from the south and nobody noticed. Of course they noticed, but nobody lifted a finger to stop it. And then, of course exactly I mean, listen, the big lie is, well, we had no idea Cobbo would fall in eleven days. It didn't fall in eleven days. You watched province after province after promise of province in Afghanistan. You know, the Taliban rolling over this well trained Afghan army that Biden was bragging about as late as July. By that time, half the country had been in the hands of the Taliban. He did nothing to push them back. He didn't evacuate Americans, their families, Green card holders, and our Afghan allies when he had full control of Cobble. It's the same to be said for our southern border. Nothing was done to stop the influx of illegal immigration at our southern border. When they left Haiti and left other Central American countries and left Mexico and began their their move towards the towards the US border, nobody stopped them. And they're paying different groups. You know, they're paying gangs, cartels, coyotes, all this money, pretty much the life savings to get out of there. Listen, I've been to Haiti. I went there with Reverend Franklin Graham and we went there, and you know, we went there on. It was a missionary trip and I flew over the entire country and a helicopter and I never saw such poverty in my life. It breaks your heart. This is after the first bat At earthquake. So the answer is they did. The answer is they did know they The funny thing is you warned us. You kept telling us all last year. Forty days of election, thirty days of election, ten more days of you. But you guys better get it right because you're gonna wake up the next morning and you're gonna say what the heck happened? And you know what, We're waking up right now. America's waking up saying what in the world just happened to us. I didn't write a book in ten years, and Tony, I promise with all my heart. I promise you I'm not writing another book. Live Free or die America in the world on the brink. Every single word I wrote I have been proven correct already. And you know what, Tony, I wish I was wrong. I really sincerely. I love this country with all my heart, and what I see happening to it, abandoning energy independence, think of that one thing. Well, now we're paying a buck fifty more per gallon, more to fill our tanks, heat and cool our homes. We pay more for every item of everything we buy in every store. You know, to think of the impact of that one decision, and when we didn't have to care about the Straits of Hormuz anymore, and what the Iranians might pull in that very narrow straits where you know, a third of the world's oil supply goes through. Now we have to care about it again. Now. Joe Biden begged Dopec to increase production, and by the way, they said, no, they're not going to take less than seventy five bucks a barrel going. They're gonna bring it back up to one hundred bucks a barrel. And guess what you're gonna have to pay it. We're all gonna have to pay it. And we're all sucked into this, you want to tell you ever think we'd see Americans abandoned behind enemy lines. You ever think we'd see wide open borders and processing people in the middle of a pandemic, throwing them in overcrowded cages. You ever think we'd see people of the fifteen thousand people under the del Rio Bridge. You ever think that we'd be told that we're not COVID testing because they're not going to be here long. And then the only thing that we know is that they lie to us, say they're sending them back, and then in the dark of night dispersing them all across the US. No COVID test, no vaccine mandate that they put on you. That's that's Biden's America. That's the that's the Democratic socialist America. That's what I said. When I said on the brink, I meant on the brink. And here we are on the brink. You know, the only hope we have is more than a year away, and that is the election. In the meantime, you know, you hope, and you're praying. You fight every battle you can. You know, the battle for liberty and freedom never ends. Reagan said freedom is but one generation away from extinction. I think I said that in any every single interview that I gave when I was on that book tour. Anyway, my friend, you know, we got to keep fighting. You know, just use the analogy that I use. It's not about Sean Hannity. I can promise you that I'm one guy, I'm one person. It's about all of us, every single one of us. And you want to tune out, you want to forget it, just suck it up, But no, you can't. There's too much at stake here and every one of us have to commit to being a spoke in the wheel. And the wheel we need every spoke to make that wheel go round. And is it possible to get the change who you want? Yes. The first step is election reform that happens on the state level. That's getting your state legislators, your state senators to change the laws to guarantee voter integrity, voter ID signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers get to watch the count up close and personal. Start to finish. Let's start there. Then it's November of twenty twenty two, and then let's see what happens. If Republicans take back the House, we stop Joe Biden's agenda. If Republicans take the House in the Senate, we really stop Joe Biden's agenda. And then if we could get the White House back, you know, then we'd have an opportunity to reverse course and bring back the America First, make America great again. Conservative policies that work. I can say it in less than a minute. I've been doing this thirty three years. I break conservatism down to its most basic points. Liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution, law and order, so people can be safe and secure, so they can pursue happiness, school choice, which would dramatically improve the opportunities for every American child. These are simple things. Free market healthcare solutions in terms of healthcare, rather than a top down, government run Obamacare approach, where you have competition instilled, and we'd protect people with pre existing conditions. Then I would go from their constitutionalists on the bench. Lower taxes, less bureaucracy, secure borders, energy independence, free and fair trade, piece through strength. Tell me what I'm missing. If anyone has the answer, just tell me, because I'll add it to the list. That is what you know. If I break down the thirty three years of what I'm trying to tell people works, and we saw work under Donald Trump, those are the principles that work, and those are the principles that I believe in. It's not that complicated. Larry, Oklahoma, welcome a board. Good afternoon, Sean. It's good to talk to you. I really want to focus on the border, and I'll try to say as focused as I can. Up front, I want to tell you my bias. I spent twenty years on the border, five and a half on the Texas Mexican border. What Biden was saying this morning about oh, we've got to investigate this and there will be consequences. Those men did nothing wrong. I knew as a customs inspector. I knew a lot of border patrol people. Those horse people are very well trained their accusation. And I know what's going to happen. We're gonna hear the same thing we've heard. We're gonna have to reimagine the border, the border patrol systemically racist, you know the drill, and we've got to be able to say hey, no. And I think what needs to happen is I think that anybody who's ever worked on the border, anybody just retired from the border, needs to call the White House, Capitol Hill, called their own congressman and senators and say you do so much as put a let our recrimmand in those guys file, there's gonna be trouble. You can't they can't do this to people, these guys, I mean, they We've never in this country politicized the border. You know. One of the other things that I see going on here is that I was thinking about it last weekend. You don't move fifteen thousand people and not be aware of it. Not with all the intelligence capability we have, they knew what was coming. I think the thing and the only criticism over the last few weeks I've had of you, and I've wanted to get angry, is we have to get past this idea of incompetence. This is intentionality, absolute intentionality. Whether you're talking about the border, whether you were talking about Afghanistan, it's intentional. They're doing this on purpose. In fact, what I hope you guys do is keep track of the stats where these Haitians are going. My guess, Florida, they're going to use this as political record abution against the Santos that's said. To use human beings as political tools and weapons is just not what this country was founded for. It's just that. Look, I don't know what their intentions are, but clearly it's not to enforce the laws of the land. Let's start there. Is there something of great value? You know? Why did Democrats try to sneak into the Reconciliation Bill, which has to do with spending an amnesty provision. Now, if you have something how much There are countries, for example, if you invest X number of dollars and you know Believes or saying Kits or some of these other countries, you can buy your way and buy citizenship. New Zealand, Australia they used to have it that if you'd invest X number of millions of dollars, you could, over a period of time, become a citizen. So actually there are countries that sell citizenship. I don't sounds insane, but they do. So you're dealing with something of great value. Now the great value is, oh, come to America, will make your citizen, and then we hope you'll vote for us as Democrats because we're giving you this great gift. Now that you know, I don't care where people come from. You know, I believe in legal immigration, respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty. But in the era of a pandemic, we need healthcare checks. We also need background checks to make sure you don't have radical associations. And I would argue we need some type of assurance that you're not going to be a financial burden on the American people. But one simple reason is that we cannot afford We just can't afford it. And that's a problem. So you know, okay, I'm for legal immigration. Now with what the Democrats are trying to do, they just want everybody to become a citizen. Well, that's a problem in this country. How are we going to be able to afford that? That's a big problem. We got about ninety seconds time for a quick call, Kathy, California. You've got all ninety seconds, Kathy, go hi, Hi. How are you glad you called? Doing really good? Um, I was calling yesterday. I was thinking about it. When you have over one hundred employees, they have to be tested. We have a lot of factories, we have a lot of manufacturing, big businesses on parts of California. Who pays for that testing weekly? Do you know? I can't find anything? Yeah, you're talking about who's who's paying for the COVID testing, the companies or the federal government. From what I understand is testing you pay for. I know I paid for testing that I've had. Let me put it that way, if that means anything to you. So I paid for a lot of my own testing. In terms of people that want vaccines, vaccines are for free, I'm not sure. I mean in the businesses. We have a tomato packing business here. I think most businesses have bought their most businesses have paid for their own testing. That's my understanding. Okay, I couldn't find anything. I didn't know the federal government was spending more money in regards to it to get them to do this. I didn't know. No, I look, it's something you know. They think, well, it's free, it's free, everything's free. Okay, everything's free. You know again, it's now at this one size fits all medicine. Not something that I support, not something that's scientific, even even though the lecturists about science. Right, all right, eight hundred nine for one sean. If you want to be a part of the program, quick break right back. We'll continue straight ahead.

And if you want a little come along, bend it. Twenty years of conflict in Afghanistan, and as we close this period of relentless war, we're opening the new air of reletters diplomacy progressives. As you have alluded to, we are currently being held hostage by conservative Democrats. We are very concerned that Haitians who are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information that the border is open. Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution where I'm coming to y'all sent you a cow Sean Hannity Show behind the scenes, information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show America Trap Behind Enemy Lines, Day number forty one, forty one night Our two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let me see. Let me go through this transcript live just to make sure I got this thing right. So we got reporter question one, reporter question two. Then we've got reporter question three, four, and let's see did we make it to five? Apparently now four question that's not a press conference, that's Joe Biden going out there screaming, yelling, scolding, angry, blaming everybody and anybody but himself. I inherited, I inherited, I inherited. You inherited secure borders, You inherited energy independence. You inherited three vaccines and monoclonal antibodies that you only mentioned a week and a half ago. You inherited an America that was strong around the world. You inherited a secure cobble, a secure Afghanistan where nobody died in the last eighteen months. To Joe, and I won't apologize for anything that I've done. Oh okay. Meanwhile, you abandoned our fellow Americans. You can't even give us a number how many, And you don't want to even talk about You didn't even mention the hostages today. How do you not mention the hostages Americans you abandoned, and Green card holders in the thousands and their families and Afghan allies that are being shot, killed and murdered. And by the way, the good old Taliban days are back, as they're now bringing back public executions and amputations. Women are out of school, can't go to work. The good old days are back very very professional and business like, right, Joe. Unbelievable Anyways, poll numbers are tanking. But according to Joe, I don't look at the polls. They go up and they go down. What a genius. Listen and again, I'll just conclude myself, this is a process, process, and it's going to be up and down. Come on, man, That's why I don't look at the polls. Not a joke, because it's going to go up and it's going to go down. It's gonna go up and hopefully at the end of the day I'll be able to deliver on what I said I would do. There you go up there, Come on, come on, come on, man, did you did you do cocaine before the show? You smoke crack like my hunter. Come on, man, you're a junkie. I just can't even believe it. Anyway, if you look at the poles that he's apparently Joe is not looking at, he's losing ground. And this is where it gets interesting. On every substantive issue Afghanistan, COVID, borders, etc. Um, the economy, but also his approval rating has fallen sharply in terms of his personal traits. In other words, the positive evaluations of his personal traits. Yeah, they're going down dramatically as well. And the Cook Political Report, you know, private polling is picking up double digit drops in his performance and competitive house districts. We've talked about thirty two separate, very important swing states in the country, and they're down dramatically. It's down to thirty two percent approval rating in Iowa, for example. That would be called what we say in the business a bellweather. You know, sudden doubts about his confidence are coming in fast and furious. Now Americans have decided he's too old for this job. He's not up for this job. Okay, hey, we've been telling you about that too. Margin of fifty seven and forty three percent. His performance shows that he's too old to be presidents, as opposed to showing he's fit to be president. Who are the forty three percent to think he's fit? I don't know what they're smoking. Maybe I need that. Matt Towery and John mclack on our posters are back with us. Welcome back both of you. And then the one other poll I didn't mention is that you know now Donald Trump is his approval rating has been rising dramatically. I guess retrospect mean tweets. But let's see a competent president that literally kept the radical Taliban in check, that killed the caliphate, Solomoni Baghdaddy, the Alqaeda leader in Yemen, that brought us to energy independence for the first time in seventy five years, secured the border, had no inflation, record, low unemployment, three vaccines, and one therapeutic called monoclonal antibodies. I'd say that Donald Trump's mean tweets perhaps are being seen in a different light now, John McLaughlin. Yes. In fact, by the way, you've been ahead of this curve that You've had Matt myself on the show, and we've been saying he's starting to slip. He's slipping badly. Trump left him with the vaccines, left him with the growing economy, and we had We've been tracking as Paul since May. But as a September fourteen, fifty eight percent of all Americans thought that Joe's not going to serve the full four years. They think Kamela Harris to be president. But even still, we asked, this is a thousand likely vote across the country. We asked him, I used to do they agree or disagree? I used to dislike Trump's aggressive, confrontational style, but now that I see how weak Biden was in dealing with the Taliban Afghanistan, I'm thinking maybe Trump wasn't so bad. Fifty two to forty four all voters agree with that statement. It takes a tough man to be a good president. When I see how week Biden is, I'm coming to appreciate Trump more, and I think I'm thinking we need a bit more of Trump's toughness right now. Fifty six percent of all voters agreed with that, only forty percent disagree, twenty three percent of Biden voters, twenty seven percent the Democrats agreed with that. Finally, we asked, do you agree or disagree with this statement? Say what you will about Donald Trump, but we have very low inflation, less illegal immigration, gas prices were much lower, and until things exploded after George Floyd's murder, there was much less crime when he was president. Sixty percent of all voters agree with that, Only thirty five disagree, twenty eight percent of the Biden voters, thirty two percent of the Democrats. Trump and at Poles we had over a week ago, Trump would beat Biden and Harris decisively an electoral land flight, and yesterday Muslim reports had Trump leading Biden fifty one forty one and Trump leading Harris fifty two to thirty nine. There is huge buyer's remors going on. And guess what Joe Biden did in seven months what it took Jimmy Carter to do in four years. He's wrecking a perfectly good economy, and he's the weakest president in the history of the country, where he's actually surrendered a country that we defended for twenty years. He's passing in the polls. Well, John stole most in my good lines, I gotta tell you. But let's look at this not just not just his great poem, but also nationally in the real clear politics average, he's down on the average four point six percent. But in reality, if it weren't for a couple of outlier polls, he would be worked. Gallup has him today, and I've always saw like Gallup as the best at measuring presidential approval. That's one thing they do very well. They have the president down ten points. That's about where he should be and probably a little lower than that in reality. But I want to make another point, and that, as you mentioned, all the other reasons, various topics where he's down. But there was a Dallas Morning news hole taken in Texas that I think is very interesting. It shows that fifty four percent of the Hispanic Latino population that they surveyed for this whole disapproved of Joe Biden. Now they are living this whole border crisis in Texas. I would submit to you that if the Republican National Committee were to start showing what's going on on the border every week by buying ads and showing the rest of the country, his approval Latino and Hispanic voters throughout this country would be that low. They clearly. I mean when a news event happened Sean, like the Afghanistan issue where the press finally had to break through and let the truth be shown, he drops like a rock. And the rest of the country doesn't know what's going on in Texas as much as those who watched maybe some cable news. But if they were to see it, these numbers we go, well, they'd be even lower. I think it's you can't miss it now over time. I mean, it's the type of thing where you know some people over the course of my career and say, well, why do you, why do you? Why do you repeat certain statistics? There's a method to my madness because I want everybody else to be able to repeat it. And then this way they go out and it becomes an echo chamber. In an election year, if I start with a list and everybody knows the list by November, then they can recite the list to every one of their friends, every one of their relatives, and anybody they run into. And that's the whole idea, because a lot of people don't get news as as objective as the news that we give. That's right, objective, actual facts instead of fiction. But you know, the reality is, it's an unmitigated disaster begging OPEC for oil. Just think about that one issue, you know, having a waiver to putin while simultaneously taking away pipeline building jobs in America. Look at abandoning Americans behind enemy lines and acting as though he didn't do it. Those people are still left behind enemy lines, and the Taliban is going right back to being the fierce, brutal terrorists they were the last time twenty years ago. Those Americans, I don't think we're going to get them all home. I hope to God I'm wrong. I pray I'm wrong. I'd love to be able to say we've successfully extracted every last American, every one of their family members, every Green card holder, every one of our Afghan allies. But I think you both agree with me. The odds are pretty low. Then you look at the disaster at the border, in the middle of a pandemic, and then the outright lying to us, well, they're not going to be here very long, so we don't need to COVID test them. I don't think any of these lies are going to fly, and I think over time it's accumulating into what can only be described as a disaster. John McLaughlin absolutely, And but you know people are seeing this because it's breaking through the mainstream media, the mainstream media that's cobbling Piden and is not telling them what's going on. It's getting out there. And we're doing focus groups for New Gingrich because people are realizing that these swing voters that we interview and that we talked to in in August poll, they said that biggerment socialism has taken over the Democrat Party sixteen nine to thirty one. And in focus groups, average person African American swing voters. Senior citizens are telling us they're getting mugged at the supermarket every day with high prices, They're paying more for gas utilities, and now they can't afford basic food costs, whereas their monthly budget is basically saying, you know you're going to spend more on food. The price of eggs, bread, milk, butter, it's all going up. Excuse me. The price of a pound of oscar Meyer thick cut bacon happened to be my favorite. I do my own food shopping. I don't know why people say, what are you doing here? Every time I'm in the grocery store. That's the honest question I've ever heard. I say, Obviously, I like to eat, but the price is up two bucks. You're paying a buck fifty more a gallon. And you're paying more for every item in every grocery store because it costs more to ship it. Every That would be every home depot, that would be every Lows, that would be every CVS, Rite, Aid, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, you name it. You're paying more for everything, and that is an added tax. Then they have three trillion more in taxes, including of corporate tax. We all know the corporations don't pay taxes, do they, Matt Towery, Well, let me tell you the truth of the matter is that you have a Biden white House that operates completely by the polls and completely by politics. This has been probably the most politically driven White House I've seen in my lifetime. So they know their numbers are going down for these very reasons. They know that they've got a problem with inflation, they know that they have a problem with the border. But they know that they messed up in Afghanistan. But the issue that they're dealing with right now is how to wham as much liberal stuff through this country as fast as they can. That's why they're still pushing this incredible Now, it's not three point five trillion. What is the true number? What five to seven trillion? We're being over five trillion when you add it all together. But yeah, there's three point five trillion. Well, no, I think their business analysis that was done I've read today or yes yesterday, it says it's really many more trillion than even the higher numbers. Well, then you add the one point two trillidren, the six hundred billion, and all the other moneys prior to that, and yeah, you're you're at six or seven trillion. You're right, that would be an accurate number. It's just unbelievable. And they're they're pushing this as hard as they Again, they want to use what little political capital they have left to keep the borders as open as possible to pass this legislation that is clearly going to be way too expensive in this country. Most people know that they're going to continue to push these these programs because they don't care about Joe Biden's peing numbers down the road. Here's the biggest channel. Republicans can stop this in its tracks. They have to be able to withstand the oh, you shut the government down lectures, John McLaughlin. And that is all the full faith and credit of the United States is hanging in the balance. Quick break more of the posters, Matt Towery, John McLaughlin. Then your calls coming up eight hundred and nine for one Seawan. You want to be a part of the program. All right, we continue with our posters, John McLaughlin, Matt Towia. With us, We've been through enough government shutdowns. This is not our first rodeo, all three of us. It always ends up. You always keep essential workers, social Security checks will go out, our defenses are up. As a country, people get a free vacation, they always end up getting back pay. So the government never really shuts down, does it. But Republicans should be arguing, you own both House of the Congress in the White House, you raise the debt limit, we're not going to help you exactly. And by the way, the government shut down, that's a joke. Have you been to Washington lately. They're not in the office. Everybody gets another good point, and they're not in the office. Drive around Washington. Send some people out for your TV show. They're not there. There's homeless people, there's crime, and the businesses are getting killed because they have no customers because the government workers are still getting paid and they're not in the office. And guess what, we can flip the argument on the debt ceiling them because basically, if we don't raise the ceiling, they can't spend the three point five trillion or five trillion or seven trillion. How many zeros are in that they can't spend that money. Yeah, but never underestimate a Republican party's ability to be weak in buckle. Last word, we have twenty seconds mount Towery, Well, to your point, Sean, that we were all around when Gingrich shut the country down, and what we got from that was Bill Clinton, a new Bill Clinton who decided he was going to support a balanced budget and was going to bring a balanced budget. That would have never happened if new Gingrich had not stood up and taken that stand. And the Republicans have to do it again. They got to show the fortitude or they're gonna get it run over like they are so often when someone gets weak on this issue. It's going to be fascinating to watch. The sad part of this is it's not even the political victory. The sad part is the country's deteriorating on every level. And I never thought it could happen. I never thought it would be this bad, this fast, And I wrote a book warning how bad it would be. Live Free or Die America and the world on the brink. I spell out a pretty dire scenario. While it's all coming true. Unfortunately, I wish I was wrong there too, Matt Towery, John McLaughlin, thank you eight hundred and nine four one. Sean. You want to be a part of the program Quick Break right Back, Breaking news all afternoon when you get off work, be sure to check in first for everything you missed during the day. This is the Sean Hannity Show. Hi twenty five to the top of the hour. Gladuate with us eight hundred and nine for one Sean. You want to join us. We've got a great Hannity tonight. We'll tell you about that coming up. Tony is in the city of Detroit. You want to look at, you know, exhibit a of what radical democratic policies and the unholy relationship between the Democratic Party and unions ends up getting you losing half your population, bulldozing entire neighborhoods to consolidates services. Yeah, that would be Detroit, the once great, great city of Detroit. Still great people there, but Detroit, you know was This is what can happen to America. It is a preview of coming attractions. California losing population for the first time in one hundred and seventy one years. Not a surprise, is it. When you tax people into oblivion, regulate them into oblivion. You don't follow the science of forestry, and you have rolling brown and blackouts all throughout California. You regulate people to death. You have a corrupt government, one standard for them and another standard for everyone else. And of course government just mailing out checks before and after recall elections. Amazing, Tony, how are you good? How are you doing? But we got that one big problem. And she's sitting there in Lanting right now. But now we don't want to talk about her at all. But I got a question for you. Haiti is surrounded by water, sitting below Cuba, about six hundred miles from the coast of my Amy, Florida. It's sixteen hundred miles from Haiti to Del Rio, Texas. How did these Haitians get from Haiti to Del Rio, Texas without nobody noticing? Ten thousand of them going through Mexico. Nobody wore in the Biden's administration that there's people coming towards the border. Well, you're asking a great question. It's you know, how did the Taliban get to Kabbo way up you know, in the north, in the northern part of the state, more Middleton, northern part of the country. Rather, how did they get there when they started from the south and nobody noticed. Of course they noticed, but nobody lifted a finger to stop it. And then, of course exactly I mean, listen, the big lie is, well, we had no idea Cobbo would fall in eleven days. It didn't fall in eleven days. You watched province after province after promise of province in Afghanistan. You know, the Taliban rolling over this well trained Afghan army that Biden was bragging about as late as July. By that time, half the country had been in the hands of the Taliban. He did nothing to push them back. He didn't evacuate Americans, their families, Green card holders, and our Afghan allies when he had full control of Cobble. It's the same to be said for our southern border. Nothing was done to stop the influx of illegal immigration at our southern border. When they left Haiti and left other Central American countries and left Mexico and began their their move towards the towards the US border, nobody stopped them. And they're paying different groups. You know, they're paying gangs, cartels, coyotes, all this money, pretty much the life savings to get out of there. Listen, I've been to Haiti. I went there with Reverend Franklin Graham and we went there, and you know, we went there on. It was a missionary trip and I flew over the entire country and a helicopter and I never saw such poverty in my life. It breaks your heart. This is after the first bat At earthquake. So the answer is they did. The answer is they did know they The funny thing is you warned us. You kept telling us all last year. Forty days of election, thirty days of election, ten more days of you. But you guys better get it right because you're gonna wake up the next morning and you're gonna say what the heck happened? And you know what, We're waking up right now. America's waking up saying what in the world just happened to us. I didn't write a book in ten years, and Tony, I promise with all my heart. I promise you I'm not writing another book. Live Free or die America in the world on the brink. Every single word I wrote I have been proven correct already. And you know what, Tony, I wish I was wrong. I really sincerely. I love this country with all my heart, and what I see happening to it, abandoning energy independence, think of that one thing. Well, now we're paying a buck fifty more per gallon, more to fill our tanks, heat and cool our homes. We pay more for every item of everything we buy in every store. You know, to think of the impact of that one decision, and when we didn't have to care about the Straits of Hormuz anymore, and what the Iranians might pull in that very narrow straits where you know, a third of the world's oil supply goes through. Now we have to care about it again. Now. Joe Biden begged Dopec to increase production, and by the way, they said, no, they're not going to take less than seventy five bucks a barrel going. They're gonna bring it back up to one hundred bucks a barrel. And guess what you're gonna have to pay it. We're all gonna have to pay it. And we're all sucked into this, you want to tell you ever think we'd see Americans abandoned behind enemy lines. You ever think we'd see wide open borders and processing people in the middle of a pandemic, throwing them in overcrowded cages. You ever think we'd see people of the fifteen thousand people under the del Rio Bridge. You ever think that we'd be told that we're not COVID testing because they're not going to be here long. And then the only thing that we know is that they lie to us, say they're sending them back, and then in the dark of night dispersing them all across the US. No COVID test, no vaccine mandate that they put on you. That's that's Biden's America. That's the that's the Democratic socialist America. That's what I said. When I said on the brink, I meant on the brink. And here we are on the brink. You know, the only hope we have is more than a year away, and that is the election. In the meantime, you know, you hope, and you're praying. You fight every battle you can. You know, the battle for liberty and freedom never ends. Reagan said freedom is but one generation away from extinction. I think I said that in any every single interview that I gave when I was on that book tour. Anyway, my friend, you know, we got to keep fighting. You know, just use the analogy that I use. It's not about Sean Hannity. I can promise you that I'm one guy, I'm one person. It's about all of us, every single one of us. And you want to tune out, you want to forget it, just suck it up, But no, you can't. There's too much at stake here and every one of us have to commit to being a spoke in the wheel. And the wheel we need every spoke to make that wheel go round. And is it possible to get the change who you want? Yes. The first step is election reform that happens on the state level. That's getting your state legislators, your state senators to change the laws to guarantee voter integrity, voter ID signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers get to watch the count up close and personal. Start to finish. Let's start there. Then it's November of twenty twenty two, and then let's see what happens. If Republicans take back the House, we stop Joe Biden's agenda. If Republicans take the House in the Senate, we really stop Joe Biden's agenda. And then if we could get the White House back, you know, then we'd have an opportunity to reverse course and bring back the America First, make America great again. Conservative policies that work. I can say it in less than a minute. I've been doing this thirty three years. I break conservatism down to its most basic points. Liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution, law and order, so people can be safe and secure, so they can pursue happiness, school choice, which would dramatically improve the opportunities for every American child. These are simple things. Free market healthcare solutions in terms of healthcare, rather than a top down, government run Obamacare approach, where you have competition instilled, and we'd protect people with pre existing conditions. Then I would go from their constitutionalists on the bench. Lower taxes, less bureaucracy, secure borders, energy independence, free and fair trade, piece through strength. Tell me what I'm missing. If anyone has the answer, just tell me, because I'll add it to the list. That is what you know. If I break down the thirty three years of what I'm trying to tell people works, and we saw work under Donald Trump, those are the principles that work, and those are the principles that I believe in. It's not that complicated. Larry, Oklahoma, welcome a board. Good afternoon, Sean. It's good to talk to you. I really want to focus on the border, and I'll try to say as focused as I can. Up front, I want to tell you my bias. I spent twenty years on the border, five and a half on the Texas Mexican border. What Biden was saying this morning about oh, we've got to investigate this and there will be consequences. Those men did nothing wrong. I knew as a customs inspector. I knew a lot of border patrol people. Those horse people are very well trained their accusation. And I know what's going to happen. We're gonna hear the same thing we've heard. We're gonna have to reimagine the border, the border patrol systemically racist, you know the drill, and we've got to be able to say hey, no. And I think what needs to happen is I think that anybody who's ever worked on the border, anybody just retired from the border, needs to call the White House, Capitol Hill, called their own congressman and senators and say you do so much as put a let our recrimmand in those guys file, there's gonna be trouble. You can't they can't do this to people, these guys, I mean, they We've never in this country politicized the border. You know. One of the other things that I see going on here is that I was thinking about it last weekend. You don't move fifteen thousand people and not be aware of it. Not with all the intelligence capability we have, they knew what was coming. I think the thing and the only criticism over the last few weeks I've had of you, and I've wanted to get angry, is we have to get past this idea of incompetence. This is intentionality, absolute intentionality. Whether you're talking about the border, whether you were talking about Afghanistan, it's intentional. They're doing this on purpose. In fact, what I hope you guys do is keep track of the stats where these Haitians are going. My guess, Florida, they're going to use this as political record abution against the Santos that's said. To use human beings as political tools and weapons is just not what this country was founded for. It's just that. Look, I don't know what their intentions are, but clearly it's not to enforce the laws of the land. Let's start there. Is there something of great value? You know? Why did Democrats try to sneak into the Reconciliation Bill, which has to do with spending an amnesty provision. Now, if you have something how much There are countries, for example, if you invest X number of dollars and you know Believes or saying Kits or some of these other countries, you can buy your way and buy citizenship. New Zealand, Australia they used to have it that if you'd invest X number of millions of dollars, you could, over a period of time, become a citizen. So actually there are countries that sell citizenship. I don't sounds insane, but they do. So you're dealing with something of great value. Now the great value is, oh, come to America, will make your citizen, and then we hope you'll vote for us as Democrats because we're giving you this great gift. Now that you know, I don't care where people come from. You know, I believe in legal immigration, respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty. But in the era of a pandemic, we need healthcare checks. We also need background checks to make sure you don't have radical associations. And I would argue we need some type of assurance that you're not going to be a financial burden on the American people. But one simple reason is that we cannot afford We just can't afford it. And that's a problem. So you know, okay, I'm for legal immigration. Now with what the Democrats are trying to do, they just want everybody to become a citizen. Well, that's a problem in this country. How are we going to be able to afford that? That's a big problem. We got about ninety seconds time for a quick call, Kathy, California. You've got all ninety seconds, Kathy, go hi, Hi. How are you glad you called? Doing really good? Um, I was calling yesterday. I was thinking about it. When you have over one hundred employees, they have to be tested. We have a lot of factories, we have a lot of manufacturing, big businesses on parts of California. Who pays for that testing weekly? Do you know? I can't find anything? Yeah, you're talking about who's who's paying for the COVID testing, the companies or the federal government. From what I understand is testing you pay for. I know I paid for testing that I've had. Let me put it that way, if that means anything to you. So I paid for a lot of my own testing. In terms of people that want vaccines, vaccines are for free, I'm not sure. I mean in the businesses. We have a tomato packing business here. I think most businesses have bought their most businesses have paid for their own testing. That's my understanding. Okay, I couldn't find anything. I didn't know the federal government was spending more money in regards to it to get them to do this. I didn't know. No, I look, it's something you know. They think, well, it's free, it's free, everything's free. Okay, everything's free. You know again, it's now at this one size fits all medicine. Not something that I support, not something that's scientific, even even though the lecturists about science. Right, all right, eight hundred nine for one sean. If you want to be a part of the program, quick break right back. We'll continue straight ahead.
