Speaker 1: Coming up next our final News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.
Speaker 2: I News round Up, Information Overload Hour toll free this Friday,
Speaker 2: you'd say eight hundred and nine point one, Sean, if
Speaker 2: you want to be a part of the program. Twenty
Speaker 2: five days till Election Day. Early voting now going on
Speaker 2: all around the country. As a public service on Hannity
Speaker 2: dot com, we have every state how to register when
Speaker 2: early voting starts, when early voting stops, and you can
Speaker 2: learn a lot. Also have the Kamala files as a
Speaker 2: public service, the Walls files as a public service at
Speaker 2: is Kamala and Tim Walls in their own words, their
Speaker 2: own radicalism, so you can be as informed a voter
Speaker 2: as possible. Now, Kamala has talked an awful lot recently
Speaker 2: about being a gun owner, and you know she's been
Speaker 2: brought What kind of gun do you have? I have
Speaker 2: a glock. Have you fired it? Of course I fired it. Listen,
Speaker 2: you recently surprised people when you said that you are
Speaker 2: a gun owner, and then if someone.
Speaker 3: Came into your house, not the first time I shot it.
Speaker 3: That's not the first time I've talked about it.
Speaker 2: So what kind of gun do you own?
Speaker 4: And when? And why did you get it?
Speaker 3: I have a clock and I've had it for quite
Speaker 3: some time, and I mean, look belt, my background is
Speaker 3: in law enforcement, and so there you go.
Speaker 5: Have you ever fired it?
Speaker 3: Yes, of course I have at a shooting range. Yes
Speaker 3: of course I have.
Speaker 2: And then she warns intruders. If somebody breaks into her house,
Speaker 2: they're getting shot. I thought liberals are against stand your
Speaker 2: ground rules and laws.
Speaker 4: Does God know that.
Speaker 3: House a getting shot?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, I hear that.
Speaker 1: I hear that.
Speaker 3: Probably should not have said that, but my will deal
Speaker 3: with that later.
Speaker 2: Uh okay, if you want to believe that this is
Speaker 2: the person that also and I have a cut of this.
Speaker 2: You know, she in her own words, it's part of
Speaker 2: our Kamala Files series, if you will, had talked about
Speaker 2: a mandatory gun buyback program. Now I'm not making it
Speaker 2: up because she said it, and she said it in
Speaker 2: her own words. Listen, what would you do about the
Speaker 2: millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation.
Speaker 5: What do you do about those?
Speaker 7: Well, there are approximately five million.
Speaker 3: To your point, Craig, we have to have a buyback program.
Speaker 3: And I support a mandatory buyback program. That's got to
Speaker 3: be smart. We got to do it the right way.
Speaker 2: And she has vigorously championed gun control for years as
Speaker 2: the San Francisco DA. She stated, quote, just because you
Speaker 2: legally possess a gun, and we have this tape, I'll
Speaker 2: play it. Just because you legally possess a gun in
Speaker 2: the sanctity of your life locked home, does it mean
Speaker 2: that we're not going to walk into that home and
Speaker 2: check and see if you are being responsible. I thought
Speaker 2: we had something called the Constitution. I thought that constitution
Speaker 2: talked at length about unreasonable search and seizure that would
Speaker 2: seem unconstitutional to me. Here's what she said.
Speaker 7: So this is about just basically saying that we're going
Speaker 7: to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and
Speaker 7: just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity
Speaker 7: of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going
Speaker 7: to walk into that home and check to see if
Speaker 7: you're being responsible and safe and the way you conduct
Speaker 7: your affair.
Speaker 2: Joining us now, John Lote, president of the Crime Prevention
Speaker 2: Research Center, who wrote this article, mister Lot, doctor Lott,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the program, sir.
Speaker 5: How are you doing great? Thanks for having me on Sean,
Speaker 5: Like all of.
Speaker 2: Her radical positions. I don't believe in this this conversion
Speaker 2: that she's trying to portray, you know, this election year
Speaker 2: conversion as we call it. I think the real Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris has been the one that supports the mandatory gun
Speaker 2: buyback program, the one that doesn't believe that you need
Speaker 2: a search warrant and feels she has the right to
Speaker 2: go in and check on your guns, which would also
Speaker 2: imply some type of registry of guns. And the Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris has been so anti gun her entire adult life.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean it kind of miss nowhere even
Speaker 5: use the term buyback because it's not like the government
Speaker 5: owned those guns to begin with. She just wants to
Speaker 5: be able to confiscate them, as you said. But look,
Speaker 5: the bottom line is that for decades she has enthusiastically
Speaker 5: supported the strictest gun dance. You go back to two
Speaker 5: thousand and eight, for example, she put it in a
Speaker 5: Meekus brief before the Supreme Court when they were considering
Speaker 5: the Heller case, arguing that there was no individual right
Speaker 5: to self defense, that the government could completely ban all handguns,
Speaker 5: or an entire category of guns, or all guns if
Speaker 5: the government wanted to go and do that. So, I
Speaker 5: mean she's consistently said it, and again you can get
Speaker 5: clips from her at that time, enthusiastically saying that the
Speaker 5: government had the power to go and ban guns. So
Speaker 5: it's not just the statements during the twenty twenty presidential campaign,
Speaker 5: but beyond that, she's been the point person for gun
Speaker 5: control efforts in the Buying administration. Bien set up something
Speaker 5: called the Office of Gun Violence Protection, which he put
Speaker 5: her in charge of, and it's pushed all sorts of
Speaker 5: gun control laws. During the Buying administration, which has been
Speaker 5: the most anti self defense president that we've ever had.
Speaker 5: They've done things like shut down literally thousands of gun
Speaker 5: dealers for minor trivial paperwork mistakes. They'll go back and
Speaker 5: look seventeen eighteen years ago to see whether you have
Speaker 5: one typo by transposing two letters in a word. They've
Speaker 5: renewed Obama's Operation Choke Point, which cuts out financial resources
Speaker 5: for gun makers and a gun dealers, raising costs and
Speaker 5: putting others out of business. The buy An administrations also
Speaker 5: established the National Gun Registry. As of a couple of
Speaker 5: years ago, they had computerized data on almost one billion
Speaker 5: transactions over many decades of people's purchases, legal purchases of guns.
Speaker 5: And so now when they talk about things like confiscating guns,
Speaker 5: now that they've put together this national registry, it'll be
Speaker 5: a lot easier for them to go and know whose
Speaker 5: guns they want to go and take, who owns the
Speaker 5: guns that they want to take away.
Speaker 2: When you talk about more guns less crime, anytime any
Speaker 2: liberal hears that, their heads explode. But the reality is
Speaker 2: you base it on statistics and science, and you make
Speaker 2: your case. I know you've gone around the country and
Speaker 2: you've had debate debate after debate after debate with liberal
Speaker 2: activists that are antisecond Amendment, and then you give them
Speaker 2: these facts, and then they tend to react emotionally to them.
Speaker 2: What are the facts when you say more guns result
Speaker 2: in less crime?
Speaker 5: Explain that, Well, there are lots of different types of information.
Speaker 5: I'll just give you one very simple fact, and that
Speaker 5: is around the world, not just in the United States
Speaker 5: and places like Chicago and Washington, DC, we've seen bams
Speaker 5: on guns. If the claim on the other side is correct,
Speaker 5: you should see drops and murder rates and drops and
Speaker 5: violent crimes. When you have, let's say, a complete ban
Speaker 5: on handguns. And yet every single time there's been either
Speaker 5: a ban on all guns or all handguns any place
Speaker 5: in the world, murder rates have gone up, often by
Speaker 5: very large amounts. And you know, you think got randomness,
Speaker 5: at least once or twice it would go down, and
Speaker 5: yet every time it's gone up. And there's a simple
Speaker 5: reason for them. That is, when you go in to
Speaker 5: ban guns, it's the most law abiding good citizens who
Speaker 5: obey the ban, not the criminals. And even if you
Speaker 5: take a few guns away from the criminals, if you're
Speaker 5: primarily disarming law abiding good citizens, you make it easier
Speaker 5: for criminals to go and commit crimes. But we've seen
Speaker 5: this in many cases. You know, we have all the
Speaker 5: states now that are supposed to be issuing concealed carry permits.
Speaker 5: When those laws got passed time after time, gun control
Speaker 5: advocates were claiming that crime would increase, that the permit
Speaker 5: holders would be going in committing crimes. And yet six
Speaker 5: months or a year after these laws get into effect
Speaker 5: in a state, there's no discussion about it anymore. And
Speaker 5: the reason is simple is because they know that the
Speaker 5: predictions that they were making didn't come true. No state
Speaker 5: that's adopted a right to carry law or constitutional carry law,
Speaker 5: had even had a vote on rescinding those laws. Even
Speaker 5: when you have Democrats take over the state legislatures after
Speaker 5: those laws have gotten passed, you would think if there
Speaker 5: was actual evidence in those states that it had accomplished
Speaker 5: the opposite of what the proponents were claiming, you would
Speaker 5: have seen at least votes on it, even if they
Speaker 5: couldn't muster enough support to get it passed. But they
Speaker 5: knew that there was no support because the claims that
Speaker 5: they were making just didn't happen.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: We continue now with doctor President John Lott of the
Speaker 2: Crime Prevention Center. Kamala Harris, now all of a sudden
Speaker 2: has found a love for the Second Amendment, which he
Speaker 2: has never showed throughout a career. Is it real? I
Speaker 2: have more than my doubts. Let's talk about you know,
Speaker 2: what are the options of people if they don't have that? Now,
Speaker 2: there is new technology that I have to be very
Speaker 2: fond of, but it is it's a non lethal option
Speaker 2: called burner. I'm I don't know if you're familiar with
Speaker 2: the technology, but I happen to be very fond of
Speaker 2: it and it's part of my overall personal safety and
Speaker 2: security plan that I have. But I've had a license
Speaker 2: to carry in New York, Rhode Island, California, Alabama, Georgia,
Speaker 2: and I have a license to carry in Florida. I've
Speaker 2: carried a weapon my entire adult life. And I got
Speaker 2: trained in this safe use of a firearm when I
Speaker 2: was young. My mom was a prison guard and she
Speaker 2: had a revolver in the house. They didn't have lock
Speaker 2: boxes like they do today and fingerprints safes like they
Speaker 2: do today, and they wanted to make sure that I
Speaker 2: was familiar with it and familiar with the safety procedures.
Speaker 2: And it also created a passion at a very young
Speaker 2: age for me. And I tell anybody that calls me,
Speaker 2: you know, they'll say, hen, any, what kind of weapon
Speaker 2: do you recommend for self defense? I said, well, I said,
Speaker 2: probably a shotgun is going to be the most effective
Speaker 2: if God forbid, somebody breaks into your home or business.
Speaker 2: I said, but whatever weapon you are considering, get trained
Speaker 2: in the proper use, safe and safety of it before
Speaker 2: you ever go near it. And I take safety. It
Speaker 2: was a top priority of my life from day one,
Speaker 2: and it should be for everybody else. And you know,
Speaker 2: one of the things I know about gun owners is
Speaker 2: they're willing to help people learn gun safety. And a
Speaker 2: lot of these groups out there, like the usccaight, they
Speaker 2: teach gun safety and situational self defense, and one of
Speaker 2: the most important things that teach people is how to
Speaker 2: talk your way out of it and get out of
Speaker 2: the situation without an incident.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean, we've had this huge increase in violent
Speaker 5: crime during the Biden administration. The Bureau of Justice Statistics
Speaker 5: shows that with total violent crime has increased fifty five
Speaker 5: percent during the buy An administration. We've had a forty
Speaker 5: two percent increase in rapes, a sixty three percent increase
Speaker 5: in armed robbery, We've had a fifty five percent increase
Speaker 5: in aggravated assaults. There's never been in the fifty years
Speaker 5: that the Bureau of Justice Statistics has been putting the
Speaker 5: data together on total violent crimes, there's never been such
Speaker 5: a large percentage increase over three years. The largest previous
Speaker 5: increase was in two thousand and six, where it was
Speaker 5: twenty seven percent. So this is this increase under Biding
Speaker 5: is more than twice as large as the largest previous
Speaker 5: percentage increase that we've ever had. And even the FBI
Speaker 5: people going point to the FBI data on reported violent crime.
Speaker 5: Even the FBI has gone back and revised its earlier data,
Speaker 5: so rather than a drop in violent crime that they
Speaker 5: initially claimed for twenty twenty two, actually shows an increase
Speaker 5: in reported violent crime now saying that they missed about
Speaker 5: eighty thousand violent crimes that they had and included in
Speaker 5: their initial calculations that were But look, if my research
Speaker 5: convinces me of anything, there's basically two groups of people
Speaker 5: who benefit the most from being able to go and
Speaker 5: own guns. The people are the most likely victims of
Speaker 5: violent crime, and that overwhelming tends to be poor blacks
Speaker 5: who live in high crime urban areas. Democrats claim that
Speaker 5: they care about minorities, that they care about the poor,
Speaker 5: and yet who do they think get hurt by cutting
Speaker 5: police budgets and by having prosecutors who don't prosecute violent criminals.
Speaker 5: The other group of people who benefit the most are
Speaker 5: people who are relatively weaker physically, women and the elderly.
Speaker 5: They are almost always talking about a young male criminal
Speaker 5: doing the attack, and when a man is attacking a
Speaker 5: woman or an elderly person, there's a lot larger strength
Speaker 5: difference that exists. There than when a man is attacking
Speaker 5: another man, and the presence of a gun represents by
Speaker 5: far the biggest change in those people's ability to go
Speaker 5: and protect themselves. The thing is the vast majority of
Speaker 5: time that people use guns defensively, but ninety five percent
Speaker 5: of the time, simply brandishing a gun it's sufficient to
Speaker 5: cause a criminal to go and break off of it's tack.
Speaker 5: And it's one reason why the media often doesn't cover this.
Speaker 5: It's not newsworthy to go and say, well, woman's brandished
Speaker 5: a gun. Would be criminals run away, no shots are fired,
Speaker 5: You're not even sure what crime would have been committed.
Speaker 5: You know, they're much more likely to cover a dead
Speaker 5: body on the ground than somebody who's simply brandished a gun.
Speaker 2: I've got a run, but I've urged people if you
Speaker 2: haven't read More Guns Less Crime, which was the original
Speaker 2: book of John Lott, it is well worth reading. You're
Speaker 2: going to learn a lot and actually statistics and science matter.
Speaker 2: Oh follow the science. Didn't we hear that over and
Speaker 2: over again at one point John Lott, thank you appreciate
Speaker 2: you being with us. I believe the old Kamala, not
Speaker 2: the oh I have a block and I'll shoot you
Speaker 2: if you're breaking of my house. Barking every day to
Speaker 2: remember the forgotten man.
Speaker 5: This is the Seananity Show.
Speaker 2: HI twenty five. Now to the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's tragic, shocking story did make national headlines.
Speaker 2: It was during a traffic stop Jonathan was shot. He
Speaker 2: was killed by a career criminal. Now, throughout his three
Speaker 2: years of service, Jonathan made more than seventy rests. He
Speaker 2: was awarded for his excellent police duty on several occasions.
Speaker 2: He was only thirty one years old. He left behind
Speaker 2: his wife, Stephanie, his one year old son Ryan, and
Speaker 2: of course his brothers and sisters in the NYPD family.
Speaker 2: At his funeral, his wife Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating senseless.
Speaker 2: He said, my husband died a hero, but he also
Speaker 2: lived as one. Now for this family, nothing will ever
Speaker 2: ever replace the loss of a husband and a father.
Speaker 2: And thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like
Speaker 2: you in this audience, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was
Speaker 2: able to pay off the mortgage of the Dialer family home.
Speaker 2: Now we can help heroes like Jonathan and their families,
Speaker 2: and if you can join us, here at Team Hannity.
Speaker 2: Commit to eleven dollars a month and donate. Just go
Speaker 2: to their website the letter T the number two, the
Speaker 2: letter T dot org. The letter T the number two
Speaker 2: the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw Alejandro Majorcis, the Department
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security secretary, he wouldn't even answer Jackie Heinrich's
Speaker 2: question on a possible terrorist plot. Now we do know
Speaker 2: this among the twelve and a half million whatever the
Speaker 2: number is now unvetted Harris Biden illegals. Well, we know
Speaker 2: that there are people that have murdered dozens of Americans.
Speaker 2: We know that there have been people used of raping
Speaker 2: dozens of Americans, including children. We know that other Americans
Speaker 2: have been victims of very violent crime, including police officers
Speaker 2: in Times Square, New York. And we know that there
Speaker 2: are gang members that have gotten into this country, Bartel
Speaker 2: members in this country. You know, see what's happening in Chicago,
Speaker 2: New York, but also small towns. It's all it's spread
Speaker 2: out around the country. We see you know what has
Speaker 2: happened as a result of these open border policies. You
Speaker 2: have people from over one hundred and eighty countries. They
Speaker 2: have allowed in unvetted and from countries like Iran and
Speaker 2: Syria and Egypt and Afghanistan and Venezuela, and tens and
Speaker 2: tens of thousands from China and Russia. And you have
Speaker 2: to ask yourself, well, are all these people coming here
Speaker 2: because they want a better life? I tend to think not.
Speaker 2: And we have created a national security disaster. And to
Speaker 2: quote Reverend Wright, America's chickens, we'll come home to roost sadly,
Speaker 2: probably sooner rather than later. I pray to God I'm wrong,
Speaker 2: but I know I'm not wrong. It is inevitable. We
Speaker 2: now know that there are Iranian assassination squads in this
Speaker 2: country as we speak, and their goal is to assassinate
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Alejandro may Orcus who went out there and
Speaker 2: repeatedly lied and said the border was closed and the
Speaker 2: border secure, just like Kamala lied, just like Joe lied.
Speaker 2: Was like all the administration lied, you know, And now
Speaker 2: we won't even answer a question about a possible terrorist
Speaker 2: plot that was discovered this week. Listen to this exchange.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was your secretary, But we're getting conflicting answers
Speaker 8: from your agency. And from the State Department about a
Speaker 8: man who was arrested for an.
Speaker 4: Elation and day terror plot. How do you not have
Speaker 4: those answers prepared?
Speaker 6: Oh, Jackie, that's not what I said. What I said
Speaker 6: is I'd be pleased to discuss this issue at a
Speaker 6: different time, but I am here to speak about disasters
Speaker 6: that have impacted people's lives in real time, and that
Speaker 6: is a subject that I'm addressing.
Speaker 8: Mister secretary, Can you assure people that appropriate steps have
Speaker 8: been taken to secure the country against these kinds of threats,
Speaker 8: because the outstanding question is whether this man was radicalized
Speaker 8: before the US government brought here, come here, or afterward,
Speaker 8: and people.
Speaker 6: Should be concerned walking at Jackie, Jackie, your persistence in
Speaker 6: questioning can be matched by my persistence and answers.
Speaker 2: You know, it's really unbelievable to me. We're dealing with
Speaker 2: disasters in real time. Let's deal with that part of
Speaker 2: that answer. In real time. You got to be kidding me,
Speaker 2: because in real time, that would have been two weeks
Speaker 2: ago on Friday, and that would have been in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: and that would have been in South Carolina and Tennessee
Speaker 2: and Georgia and Florida, and that didn't happen. And then
Speaker 2: he was the guy six days later saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're running out of hurricane relief money at FEMA. And
Speaker 2: then if you dared to report that you're lying about
Speaker 2: relief funds, well it's your Secretary of Homeland Security that
Speaker 2: said it. And then we discovered on FEMA's own website,
Speaker 2: not only their top goals. Top goal number one is
Speaker 2: diversity equity inclusion. Goal number two deals with climate alarmism.
Speaker 2: And then a billion dollars that were depleted from FEMA
Speaker 2: funds emergency funds that are put aside for Americans that
Speaker 2: are victims of hurricanes like Helleen. And now we have
Speaker 2: Milton down in Florida, and that they gave that money
Speaker 2: to Harris Biden on vetted I legal immigrants. You can't
Speaker 2: even make this up. Robin is in South Carolina. Hey, Robin,
Speaker 2: how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4: Thank you, Sean. My question is it's getting really cold
Speaker 4: in the mountains right. Everybody's asked for heaters and warm
Speaker 4: clothes for people. FEMA most of the time will bring
Speaker 4: in trailers. They used to bring in mobile homes, now
Speaker 4: they bring in little RVs. These things, and I know
Speaker 4: this for a fact, can be rigged up under a
Speaker 4: helicopter with spreader bars and dropped anywhere up there. They
Speaker 4: have propane stoves, propane heat. These people would have proper housing.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, I don't know if you heard the
Speaker 2: interview we had with Operationhelo dot Org for the government
Speaker 2: didn't send in the helicopters. The helicopters that were reaching
Speaker 2: people in the remote areas of North Carolina. They were
Speaker 2: donated by helicopter owners, they were flown by volunteers. Operationhelo
Speaker 2: dot Org ended up paying for their own gas to
Speaker 2: run the helicopters, and they were providing necessary you know, food,
Speaker 2: water supplies, and also bringing people the safety because the
Speaker 2: government was nowhere to be found. Now, up till the
Speaker 2: end of last week, I haven't got an update on it.
Speaker 2: They'd only spend four million dollars in relief and they
Speaker 2: were missing in action and remained frankly missing in action
Speaker 2: helping the people in North Carolina and Georgia and South
Speaker 2: Carolina where you are in Tennessee and Florida, and it's
Speaker 2: it's beyond pathetic. And now they're saying that if you
Speaker 2: dare criticize them, that you're being mean and dangerous. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: we're just telling the truth about the fact that you
Speaker 2: this is the worst hurricane response in the history of
Speaker 2: the country.
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm wondering why in the world they're
Speaker 4: not getting housing to the I mean, people have lost
Speaker 4: their entire homes, so they're what in a tent, maybe
Speaker 4: in a shelter, you know, drop some of the little
Speaker 4: RVs in there for current out loud. Have sympathy to
Speaker 4: these people.
Speaker 2: I do understand that there are people in shelters. I
Speaker 2: do understand that, you know, groups like samaritanspers dot org
Speaker 2: have done a great job making sure that people have
Speaker 2: the clothes that you're talking about, the food, the water
Speaker 2: that is needed and necessary. But this is a massive undertaking,
Speaker 2: you know, every government resource. And I've gone through all
Speaker 2: the money we spend on all these foreign countries and
Speaker 2: all these globalist organizations, and I'm just telling you, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like we put Americans last and Americans should be first. Yep,
Speaker 2: that's what's at stake in twenty five days. Appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Robin. You have a great weekend. Let's go
Speaker 2: to David in Pennsylvania. What's up, David.
Speaker 5: How are you? Hey, mister Andy.
Speaker 1: I know your time's valuable, so keep this concise. Really
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking my call. I'm actually not sure how
Speaker 1: you or your audience will react to this, but I
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to phone in and let you know
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of folks just like me that
Speaker 1: aren't typically represented in traditional right wing demographics. I'm not
Speaker 1: only a registered independent who's voted for left wing folks
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm an atheist, and there's a growing
Speaker 1: number of us that have just are no longer voting Democrat.
Speaker 1: We're not only voting Republican, but we're pretty enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 1: And now we're listening to your show. I bring this
Speaker 1: to you simply because we've all seen this really radical
Speaker 1: departure from maybe a difference in depinion on funding of
Speaker 1: education from Democrats to these really radical positions. I mean,
Speaker 1: I could expatiate on them. I know that you don't
Speaker 1: need me to, but if you think about these absent
Speaker 1: on economic policies that anybody with maybe a middle school
Speaker 1: exposure to history or basic mathematics but understand just can't work.
Speaker 1: Soviet era price controls that even major groups like the
Speaker 1: World Bank have indicated are obviously going to be a disaster,
Speaker 1: releasing violent criminals and actively encouraging social disorder. You don't
Speaker 1: need me to expatiate on them. In fact, you pontificate
Speaker 1: on them very very very well. What I wanted to
Speaker 1: say is that me and my friends again wouldn't traditionally
Speaker 1: be understood to be republican quote unquote. Again, I am
Speaker 1: an atheist, but we all are identifying that there's a
Speaker 1: common thread in these belief systems, or a common thread
Speaker 1: that exists in these policies, and they just stem from
Speaker 1: a hatred of the American way of life. They're rooting
Speaker 1: for the terrorists, they hate our meritocracies. These are beliefs
Speaker 1: that are these wolk ideologies that believe that people should
Speaker 1: not be judged by the content of their character, but
Speaker 1: instead by this hierarchy of privilege that dictated by immutable
Speaker 1: properties like your race or your gender. It's insane. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm not traditionally represented in somebody that you would think
Speaker 1: might call the show or listen to this show, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of us now. I think the left
Speaker 1: wing has tried to claim it this for a long time,
Speaker 1: and I don't really think that that's true, especially now
Speaker 1: we're voting Republican and like I said, we're pretty enthusiastic
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that. I mean, obviously I
Speaker 2: don't agree with everything that you're saying. You obviously are
Speaker 2: very You've done a lot of homework, a lot of research.
Speaker 2: You're very articulate, you have a lot to say. You're
Speaker 2: very passionate, and that comes through. I would love to
Speaker 2: have the conversation with you about being an atheist one
Speaker 2: day after the election, because it would be I think,
Speaker 2: I think, intellectually stimulating for our audience to hear it,
Speaker 2: because I would argue that if you're an atheist, that
Speaker 2: you have to believe that something can come from nothing.
Speaker 2: And as a person of faith, I just have different
Speaker 2: views than you. But I respect the fact that you
Speaker 2: live in a country where you know, we can have
Speaker 2: these different views and different beliefs. And you know what,
Speaker 2: I respect your choice. You have the ability to choose,
Speaker 2: you know, whether you want to be a person of
Speaker 2: faith or not. You obviously have thought through it in
Speaker 2: a big way. I'm not surprised at all because what
Speaker 2: you're telling me without saying it this way, is that
Speaker 2: you're voting for your own best interests. What you're saying
Speaker 2: is you are voting for policies that you know are
Speaker 2: better than what else is being offered. That's what you're
Speaker 2: really telling me. And I think you're also telling me
Speaker 2: that things were a lot better off four years ago
Speaker 2: than they are today. That's what I'm hearing from you.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct, mister Handy. You know, I would go
Speaker 1: so far as to say I would ask this question,
Speaker 1: what is the purpose of the Democratic Party. Is the
Speaker 1: purpose of the party to reflect views that maybe capture
Speaker 1: those that exist outside of their opposition so that we
Speaker 1: could have a greater political discourse, or do they exist
Speaker 1: to simply expand the power of the Democratic Party at
Speaker 1: the cost of undermining American democracy. Because there's one side
Speaker 1: that's engaging in lawfare. There's one side that is talking
Speaker 1: about removing secret Service protections from presidential candidates up until
Speaker 1: the point until they get shot, and then are coming
Speaker 1: on social media and indicating now, I wish that he
Speaker 1: had better aim, I wish somebody shot to the president.
Speaker 1: You know, there's one side that's consistently doing things like this,
Speaker 1: and it's not you, Sean, it's not Republicans. And I again,
Speaker 1: I remember part of the reason I called you is
Speaker 1: because I remember about eleven years ago you had David
Speaker 1: Silverman on your show, who was the president of American Atheist.
Speaker 1: I agree more with you than I did with him.
Speaker 1: I also remember that you used to do a show
Speaker 1: with Alan Combs. And I consistently see, even amongst somebody
Speaker 1: like Sean Hannity, who is renowned for being a right
Speaker 1: wing person, this is an individual who's not only willing
Speaker 1: to discuss differences of opinion, but was willing to do
Speaker 1: so respectfully with somebody like Alan Combs's appointment even hosts
Speaker 1: a show with him. I don't see that from left
Speaker 1: wing folks. I don't see that. Again. I see this
Speaker 1: pretty much radical departure from people who just they simply
Speaker 1: don't want the foundational principles that make America a great
Speaker 1: country to live in.
Speaker 2: And again, what I listen. I love robust debate. I
Speaker 2: love debating smart people, and if you make a good point,
Speaker 2: I'll acknowledge that you make a good point. I have
Speaker 2: no problem. I don't have the answers to everything, and
Speaker 2: I try to stay humble in my life and believe,
Speaker 2: you know, and not force my beliefs on other peoples
Speaker 2: as strongly as I know that in my heart that
Speaker 2: these policies, that if they were ever implemented, would hurt
Speaker 2: our country. I really believe that with all my heart, mind,
Speaker 2: body and soul. Now, with that said, my invitation for
Speaker 2: you and if you want, we'll hang on to your number,
Speaker 2: we'll call you back, is if you want after the election,
Speaker 2: because I just I have to be laser focused for
Speaker 2: the next twenty five days. But if you'd like, I'd
Speaker 2: love to have you on after the election and we
Speaker 2: can discuss your atheism and why I believe in what
Speaker 2: I believe. I've had debates with agnostics, with atheists like yourself,
Speaker 2: and you know, I find them fascinating because my belief
Speaker 2: in something, you know, a god that created the universe,
Speaker 2: is so I'm so passionate it. I would you would
Speaker 2: give me your passion of you, I'll give mine and
Speaker 2: then I don't think i'll convince you, but I think
Speaker 2: I'll give you something to think about. But I do
Speaker 2: have to run. I'm glad you're out there. I'm glad
Speaker 2: you're listening. My friend, God bless you have a great
Speaker 2: weekend and we appreciate you being with us. Sean, It's
Speaker 2: got more behind the scenes information, more contacts than anybody,
Speaker 2: more friends behind the curtains. Sean Hannity is aw
Speaker 6: On
