And what I've said, and I 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:48.159 said this Monday, that the procedures work, the redundancies work. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:53.600 Only forty two days to the presidential lead legend. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.040 Coming to your. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:00.920 Toman. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:09.000 You conc from coast to coast, it's from border to border, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:15.720 from sea to shining sea. Sean Kennedy is on. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.640 All right, thanks Scott shan An hour two, Sean Hannity 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.000 showed toll free. It's eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.200 if you want to be a part of the program, 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.560 joining us now, former presidential candidate in his own right, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.520 successful businessman, he wrote a new book by the way 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.840 called Truths The Future of America. First Viveight Ramaswami is 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.760 with us. Mister Ramaswami, Sir, how are you good to 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:41.320 talk to Sean? 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:41.800 How you been? 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:42.959 I'm good? 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.520 So a lot of pressure here we go. I mean, 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.680 if we look back at the last couple of elections, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.560 I don't think it could have been any tighter. What 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.000 in twenty twenty three states, forty four thousand votes twenty sixteen, 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.000 you know, we're at seventy six thousand votes. I mean, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.280 and you know twenty for example, over one hundred and 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.120 sixty million Americans voted. And this is what it comes 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.520 down to. I look at the polls. I study them 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.800 as much as anybody. There are some polls I trust 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.000 more than others. But by every indication, we are in 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.400 for a very tight race. And this is a very 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.400 divided country. How do you see things. 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.200 It's a deeply competitive race all the way through the 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.680 finish line. So I'm doing two things, John, I mean, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.600 I'm traveling to the swing states. I actually went to 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.720 the University of Pittsburgh last week, for example, And going 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.000 to the college campus is an interesting place to try 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.600 to register voters, reach them with arguments they may not 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.840 be hearing in their environment. I'm doing a solo rally 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.600 myself in Wisconsin for the Trump campaign tomorrow night on Wednesday. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.920 So that's that's a ground effort that we're seeing on 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.680 our side pick up. And I think other people you 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.480 know on our side are doing things like this in 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.280 the swing states across the country. The other thing, though, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.639 is I think when it comes to our core methoge, 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.799 beyond just the tactics, the real question is we got 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.120 to answer who we are and what we stand for, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.160 not just what we're against. We made that mistake in 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.480 twenty twenty two. That's also why I was keen. I 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.440 did write this book. You mentioned this that's come out 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.800 today actually, but I was keen for the Head to 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.800 come out before the election because I intended this book 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.040 to be something of a warning call, an alarm bell 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.440 that says, you know what, we were promised a red 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.360 wave in twenty two. It didn't come. We are right 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.239 now at risk of the same thing happening in twenty 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.400 four unless we wake up and level up and say 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.520 it's our job to say we're not just against the 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:38.000 Biden administration or the Harris administration, we're also for the individual, family, nation, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.600 and God, we're foresealing the border, for growing the economy, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.360 for staying out of World War three, for reviving national 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.680 pride in our country. The more we're actually focusing on 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.080 our own agenda, the more likely we are to win 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.960 this election decisively. And that's what I care about. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.240 You know, we always go back and forth over the issue, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.440 and I agree completely that you've got to lay out 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.240 your vision. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.600 For how America will be better off. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.560 And I think one of the advantages Trump has, and 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.880 maybe he hasn't used it enough, and that is America 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.400 knows Donald Trump. He's not hiding like Kamala Harris. What 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.600 is really frustrating to me, vivak is and I've got 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.159 we know each other on a personal basis, don't I 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.839 hope you don't mind I say that, Yeah, but you know, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.719 and we have become friends and I've come to respect 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.120 you a lot, and I know how hard you're working 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.839 on behalf of the country. I think you understand the 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.320 time that we're living in and how this is an 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.360 inflection point for the country. And I think there's a 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.920 balancing act. I feel like we have a candidate that 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:44.279 is in the witness protection program. He's protected by powerful institutions, 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.159 including big tech the most corrupt, abusively biased state run 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.159 media provdo MOB. I think then, of course you've got, 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.760 you know, cinder blocks on the scales of an election 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.080 when the deep state is involved. I mean, the DOJ 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.200 wants to drop you know, the January sixth case on 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.279 Thursday of this week, just their arguments on Donald Trump 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.360 forty days out of an election. You tell me, does 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.560 that not go against Justice Department policy and past precedent? 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.160 And this is this is like, you know what, It 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.760 reminds me of the fifty one former Intel officials in 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.440 twenty twenty that knew nothing about Hunter's laptop, never examined it, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.960 but it was certain that it was like the Russian disinformation. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:27.120 See. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.960 The one thing I will say now is China is 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.839 our population, our citizenry, our country is now trained to 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.320 be skeptical. Right. They were told COVID did not start 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.320 in a lab in China before now we know that 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.040 it did. They were told the Hunter Biden laptop story 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.800 was Russian disinformation, when in fact that was the disinformation 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.200 that Hunter by the laptop story was real. We know 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.039 about the Russia collusion hopes in the twenty sixteen elections. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.760 So I think people have gotten now a healthy dose 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.559 of skepticism. But the question is how do we seek 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.520 the truth on our own. I think it comes through 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.760 more speech, not less speech, not through sens but through 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.479 free speech and open debate. And you know that's one 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.239 of the themes I really hit hard in this book, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.840 and it's part of why you know. I mean, I've 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.720 written many books. You have too, Sean, So I'm not 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.960 in this to sort of push my own narrative or book. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.360 But I think that the message is contained in this 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.960 and it's why after I left the campaign, I was 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.760 so intent to at least deliver this message before the election, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.599 and that's why I wanted. Frankly, your audience, in particular, 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.680 is a tuned audience. They know what's going on in 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.640 the country, they're away, they don't have their eyes shut. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.160 That's the audience I want to We have read this 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.000 book because it's not just us that we need. We 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.840 need to be a foot soldiers the people who are 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.560 listening to this right now to convert or at least 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.880 converse with the people on the other side, armed with 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.119 the right arguments. I'm on the most contentious topics, climate change, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.560 the kind of topic you're not supposed to actually debate 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.880 in the open transgender ideology. One of the things that 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.640 I'm aiming to do, and I'm trying to do it 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.400 through this book as well as it's out today, is 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.160 really just give people the toolkit in the arguments that 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.840 they're able to bring to the dinner table with their 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.080 family members, with their kids, with their friends. And I 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:07.720 do I think. 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.440 There's going to be a lot of turkey legs throw 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.840 on if you start talking about feminine hygiene products and 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:18.560 boys bathrooms and schools, or the idea in Minnesota or 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.440 California that you're can have gender affirming care without any 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.040 parental consent. I think if you bring those issues before, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.640 or sex change operations funded by taxpayers for illegal immigrants 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.840 and convicts, which Kamalo supports, and the legalization of prostitution 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.520 or decriminalizing it, and I mean, it just goes downhill 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.160 from there. And by the way, she is going to 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.600 go see the border for the first time, I guess 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.080 tomorrow or the next day. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.400 It's the show, of course, it's a show. The hard 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.520 truth is an open border is not a border. And 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.640 that happened to be the title of one of the 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.040 chapters in my book. I wrote that in the nineteen nineties. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.920 If you said that on Keep in the nineteen nineties, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.120 people say, why are you been saying this? Right, it's 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.320 so obvious you shouldn't have to actually say it. Today, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.520 that's the controversial thing to say now that tide has 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.840 turned a little bit, so she's now trying to create 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.360 the optics of here's somebody whose favorite open borders for 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.920 a long time now trying to reverse course within forty 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.600 days of an election. But the reality is, in our 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.040 immigration system, Sean, we should not allow people into the country, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.640 even legally, if they're going to rely on the welfare system. 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.040 The welfare state combined with our immigration system is actually 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.520 one of the deeper cancers in America. And we can't 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.560 just you know, of course, we've got to fix the border. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.679 Of course, we've got to keep illegal immigrants out. That's 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.800 the basic table stake. But even on the legal immigration system, 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.199 and I say this, I traveled to Springfield right last week. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.040 I held a town hall there by the way. We 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.480 had a couple thousand people that wanted to come. We 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.880 could only fit several hundred. All I did was the 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.920 social media post and that many people wanted to come. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.319 It shows you how much people want to be heard 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.000 in this country. But many of those people are not 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.160 border crossers, but they're here on temporary protected status as 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.520 Haitians who got a special form of humanitarian entry. But 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.640 I think that one of our policies also needs to 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.720 be that if you're going to rely on government assistance, 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.400 welfare or medicaid, that we shouldn't really be prioritizing your 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.720 entry into the country. And I don't think that should 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.680 be too controversial to say, and I don't think Republicans 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.679 are saying it that way or talking about it that 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.719 way enough, Which is one of the things I hit 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.880 hard in that chapter in the book, is not just 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.400 how we fix the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.920 but also how we have a sensible legal immigration paradigm 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:33.680 in this country. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.360 And that I'm all in favor. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.240 But doesn't it have to include a background check and 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.040 a health check and make sure you're not a financial 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.480 burden on the American people. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.280 Of course, it has to also include the ability to 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.120 speak English, and some people find that controversial when I 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.560 say that, Sean, but I think we're more united as 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.960 a country where we can all speak at least the 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.280 same language to each other without creating those barriers to 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.960 speak English. Civics test demonstrate you're not going to be. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.000 But look at the difference. Donald Trump wants a border wall, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.160 she's you know, and we have a candidate that has 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.840 not had to answer the question why she opposed a 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.319 border wall. The criminal wants to decriminalize the illegal immigration, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.440 offer free housing, healthcare, education, legal drivers' licenses. Her running 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:25.160 mate wants free college education, amnesty and sex change operations, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.840 or a mandatory gun buyback or no restrictions even on 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.960 late term abortion months seven, eight, and nine, or co 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.360 sponsoring the ninety three trillion dollar Agree New Deal you're 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.680 a business man, that would be the end of capitalism, 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.040 and her willingness to eliminate the filibuster to do it, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.640 or eliminating private health insurance and government healthcare for all, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.720 or you can't say radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.720 or her economic plan that will raise you know, the 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.000 corporate tax, wealth tax, of state tax, double the capital 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:01.600 gains tax, unrealized capital gains taxes, defund dismantle no bail laws. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:02.319 You know. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.520 The rioters in the summer of twenty twenty, tweeting out 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.600 a bail fund four days after a police precincts burned 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.679 on the ground and saying that they're not going to 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.400 stop the rioters. They shouldn't stop, and we're not going 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.920 to stop supporting them. I mean, she's not held accountable 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.320 for anything. So yeah, I agree with you. We have 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.360 to have better ideas, but America needs to know how 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.120 nuts and extreme and radical and dangerous these policies are. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.480 That's right, But that's also each of our responsibility. That's 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.760 not somebody else's job. I mean, really, to everybody who's listening 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.480 to us, that is your job. So now how ma 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.920 me know it for yourself? But to also do the 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.160 job of making sure your neighbors and the parents of 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:40.840 your kid's. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.400 Class names, Well, I made it easy for them, Vivik. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.679 I put up on Hannity dot Com, the Kamalo files, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.840 the Walls files, them in their own words, and they 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.760 can share it on social media, friends, family, co workers. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:53.360 Whatever. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.800 Nailed it. You really nailed it with that. And that's 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.800 what I tried to do, is to make it really 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.040 simple for people. In this book truth as well, any 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.080 of the chapters. The people listening to this probably don't 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.040 need to hear it, But those are the arguments that 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.800 actually they do need to spread to the people who 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.120 are on the left. And what I try to do 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.960 is to really condense it in a way that you're 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.120 going to convert your kids, or your colleagues or your friends, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.680 even on the left. This is the toolkit to do it, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.040 and that's why I published this today. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.360 All right, quick break more with former presidential candidate Vivike Ramaswami, 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.480 his new book Truth the Future of America first Amazon 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.520 dot Com, Hannity dot Com, bookstores around the country, and 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.880 more of his take on the election. We're only forty 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.080 two days until election day. As we continue, we continue 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.560 with Vivike Ramaswami, former presidential candidate in his own right, 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.360 His new book Truths is out. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.080 How do we balance both? 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.040 Like, for example, I mean, early voting has started and 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.480 I'm not convinced people voting know the things about Kamala Harrison, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.200 what she said about her and her own words. And 0:12:56.240 --> 0:13:00.000 I think there's been a false caricature painted about Donald Trump. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.640 I mean, at times he can he can be, you know, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.800 rough and tough. There's no you know firsthand, you've you've 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:11.320 you've you've battle them yourself. And however, I mean, I 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.680 guess some people think that this guy that is fighting 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.559 against would fight against China and Russia and the Mullahs 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.640 in Iran and Kim Jong Un is somehow, you know, 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.599 magically going to turn off that switch. The guy that 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.160 will fight to secure the border and balance the budget 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.880 and make us energy dominant is somehow going to turn 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.760 off the switch and stop being a fighter and and 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.719 be quote more presidential, as his critics often say they 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.480 want him to be, and it's just it's not in 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.720 his nature. That's that's not what you're voting for. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.800 Well, I think some of our great presidents through American 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.280 history have been great fighters, from the likes of Andrew Jackson, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.680 he was a fighter. I mean, Abraham Lincoln was an intellectual, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.800 he too was a fighter. So I think that there's 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.320 a time and place for everything in the right into 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.480 the different kinds of leadership. And I think Donald Trump 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.600 brings the kind of leadership that we need now more 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.800 than ever, which is toughness, especially on the global stage, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.960 especially on our southern border. 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.880 I think we're on the brink of a world war. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.160 If you want to know the truth breaking out the 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.880 Middle East or in Europe. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.480 That's right, but I think that we're closer to that 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.800 than we've ever been in our lifetime. That's another hard 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.280 truth that we have to confront. 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.360 But another thing, well, then, how do we deal with it? 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.760 Well, I think we've got to deal with it through strength. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.560 I mean, the first thing is we rebuild our own military. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.120 Our military is at the weakest point we've been. And 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:31.760 this is one of the facts I talk about in 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.880 my own book is just the one that's coming out today, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.600 is we have a twenty five percent recruitment deficit in 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.360 our own military right here at home. So in some ways, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.360 the strongest foreign policy is actually rebuilding the American military, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.760 which in many ways has really fallen by the wayside. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.440 Some of this is also going to have to come 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.680 shan in the long run, and Republicans don't talk about 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.720 this enough anymore that we need to we need to 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.760 shut down the nanny state in America. That's become less 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.720 of a priority, and I think sometimes we get a 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.200 little distracted where we say, you know, there's currents even 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.880 on the American right that would say we want to 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.920 replace the left wing nanny state with a conservative nanny state. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.119 Now I think we need to go in and dismantle 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.640 the nanny state, and the combination of doing those two 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.000 things right, dismantle the entitlement state, the regulatory state, that 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.320 broad nanny state, and then use some of that saving 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.240 dectually make sure we're rebuilding strength in the American military. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.000 That's a powerful combination and I think that that is 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.640 part of the case even in the introduction of this 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.760 book that I make is it's easier criticize the left, 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:31.760 but one of the things we also have to do 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.080 is confront who we are as conservatives. And that's why 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.600 I said it's truth but it's the future direction of 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.560 America first that I think is only the questions we're 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.360 going to have to grapple with. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.600 All Right, the vig rama swam, I appreciate you being 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.160 with us.

If you want to be a part 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.240 of the program forty two days to election day or 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.920 early voting ongoing in the country, Public service Hannity dot com. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.280 We have your state registration details and details when early 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.760 voting starts, and we're to vote all the information you'd 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.520 ever want or need. We also, as a public service, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.720 have the Kamala files, although we have a lot to 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.800 add to it. As we've been telling you in the 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.840 Walls files. This is a joke that Harris is set, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.360 according to the New York Times, to visit the border. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.520 Is this like a bad joke or Harris won't say 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.240 if she's still backsminalizing prostitution, you know, add this to 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.399 you know, no deportations chanting on top of the list 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.320 that you know we play and mentioned pretty much every 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.639 day on this program and her radicalism. We're going to 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.280 get to your calls here in a minute. I told 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.480 you about NYPD officer's name is Jonathan Dillar, and his 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.919 tragic and shocking story made national headlines. During a traffic stop, 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.240 Jonathan was shot. He was killed by a career criminal, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.400 and throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:35.119 than seventy arrests and was awarded for his excellent police 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.040 duty on several occasions. Jonathan was just thirty one years old. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.960 Leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, his one year old son Ryan, 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.280 and is of course his brothers and sisters in the 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:49.320 his NYPD family. At his funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.359 devastating senseless. She said, my husband died a hero, but 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.720 he also lived as one. Now for this family, nothing 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.919 is ever going to be able to replace the loss 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.520 of a husband and a father. But thanks to the 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.919 kindness of friends like you and your generosity, the Tunnel 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.359 to Towers Foundation was able to pay off the mortgage 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.320 on the Diller family's home. This is what they do 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.199 every day, but you make it possible. They can't do 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.680 it without your generosity. Please join us here a team, Hannity. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.320 Go to their website if you can commit to eleven 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.320 dollars a month. It's the letter t the number two, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.160 the letter T dot org. The letter T the number 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.600 two the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:31.960 Towers Foundation. I've just had it with mob media, democrats 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.120 and their excuses for Kamala Harris not doing interviews. This 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:37.600 is how bad it's gotten. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:38.040 Listen. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.040 I don't think it's a lot to ask her to 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.840 sit down for a real interview as apposed. 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.040 To a pump piece in which she describes like her feelings. 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.600 Of growing up and opening with nice laws. 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.240 Then I would just say to that, when you moved 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.199 to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker's number and 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.520 I'll be your next your naghbor. 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.200 We don't live there. There's only forty plus days left. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:00.760 Don't they need to be out They're more. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:02.119 Oh my goodness. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:03.400 I mean they're out there all the time. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.280 They're out there talking to voters all the time. 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:06.000 And I think that the. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.439 Vice president has also said that she's going to be 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.640 talking to more reporters, both national as well as local reporters, 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:12.720 and I think that's a good thing. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.480 Yeah, you know, when you get to Nirvana, why would 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.600 you expect her to do an interview? For crying out loud, 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.960 I'm so sick of this. It is so corrupt, it 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.320 is so dishonest. And the fact that not every American 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.560 we have all these states now beginning early voting, and 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.080 people are not fully informed, and they want Americans ignorant 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.280 before they go to the polls. They don't want to 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.280 know about her radicalism or extremism. You know, how many Americans, 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.160 if you did a test, know that she wants, let's 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.080 see a ninety three trillion dollar Green New deal, eliminate 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.439
