Day number 275.
Hello, everyone.
This is your favorite president, Donald J. Trump.
I hope I'm your favorite.
Calling about Tuesday's Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania.
There are candidates who want you to believe certain things that aren't so.
And we don't want to have that happen.
David McCormick has an example who I know well, good person, but he's an insider who absolutely sold us out to China.
Can't have that.
China has been ripping us up for a long time until I came along, took in billions and billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs.
And a lot of the people, including David, want those tariffs to stop and China to get a free ride.
We don't want that.
And Kathy Barnett wanted to build a statue to Barack Hussein Obama and attack the father of our country, George Washington.
That's no good.
Now she changes her tune.
But these are not candidates who put America first, and that's what we need.
We need America first.
Dr. Memedaz, Dr. Oz, my friend.
I've known him a long time.
He's had a tremendously successful show.
People love him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been on air for 18 years.
I've just spent a lot of time with him.
I did endorse him, and the reason is he's tough, he's smart, and he really loves our country, and he wants to do a great job for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
So just in signing off, this is Donald Trump urging you to vote for Dr. Oz on Tuesday.
And together we will all make America great again.
Thank you.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity show, toll-free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh that apparently just released uh President Trump endorsing uh Dr. Oz as he has been and as we have on this program.
I noticed when when Thursday, this issue we we had a surging Kathy Barnett in this campaign.
And because her polls had been pretty low, um, she really didn't get any scrutiny or vetting at all in the lead up to this.
Uh things, according to the Emerson poll that has just come out, uh, show that she is slowed down a bit.
And and Dr. Oz now has taken a pretty commanding lead, but I don't take any election, any vote for granted.
I always say act like it's two minutes left in the game, you're down by six, you need to march down the field with no timeouts, eighty yards, cross the plane, and kick the extra point to win.
And that's how I look at every um every election.
Uh I can't think of a more important race.
We have all of these issues involving Kathy, that if they come up in a general election, uh I to me it it makes her unelectable.
And I guarantee you that the Democrats in a general election will bring all of this up for months.
It'll be never ending.
And I think moderate voters, swing voters uh are gonna have a very hard time when they read Kathy's tweets.
Now, uh, she did do some interviews over the weekend.
Let me play uh a few moments from the from the weekend interviews with Kathy Barnett.
You know that if you win this primary, uh, your democratic opponent, Mr. Fetterman is going to bring up these things and more.
So they haven't come to light until now because you have done so well, and your opponents feel you are a threat.
How will you answer him?
Because he will not, you know, pull punches on these many things.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, listen, um, you know, uh, people ask me all the time, are you afraid to run against Batterman?
And my response is generally as long as I'm not running while black.
And many of your listeners will know that he is uh he uh uh not only accused, but he did held a black man up with a shotgun.
Um, you know, so Democrats have their own issues.
Where were you an adjunct professor and when?
Uh in um Justin University.
And where's that, Kathy?
That is in uh Illinois.
Okay.
And and when when were you there?
I don't remember the time.
Okay.
And when did you move from Virginia to Pennsylvania?
You you say in your book bio.
I never lived in Virginia.
That was a typo, but by the time it was discovered, the book had already been printed.
Um we've never lived in Virginia.
Uh we live here in Pennsylvania for this is our ninth year.
Uh, if you do not win tomorrow, do you intend to support the Republican nominee, whoever it is?
I have no intentions of supporting globalists.
Um, I believe we have ran out of room on this one way for this nation.
I believe we have very little rope left uh to just roll the dice and we'd see how it all works out on the other end.
I believe our country is in trouble.
And I don't think that we have I don't believe we have much longer.
And I believe what I have done is I have made it possible where Pennsylvanians do not have to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils this time.
I don't think we have room to just vote for any old warm body with an R next to their name.
I think we could do better than that.
Uh, one of the things he tweeted in 2015 is that pedophilia is a cornerstone of Islam and it's still up on your account.
Uh it took a peek just to make sure.
And uh you said you told MEC News that you don't think that's me, and that you never said that, and that you never would say that, but the tweet's still up.
So uh why is the tweet up?
Were was your account hacked?
Uh I I'm very curious about this.
Yeah, um, regarding that, uh regarding those particular tweets, uh, if you look at the tweets, uh, they are not even a full thought.
It's not even a full sentence.
There's no it's it's it's not even a full sentence.
And so there's more to follow.
And because this is seven, eight years ago, I don't know what it is.
And when presented initially, I had no idea.
It was just put in my face and Bush saying, read tell us what you meant seven, eight years ago.
Okay.
I don't know the context of that.
It's not a full thought.
And yet what the media has done is that they've taken um uh an incomplete thought, and they have uh taken it out of context.
And then of course, these these tweets are not only up.
Um, if she was hacked, you would have thought at some point that somebody would have pointed it out to her and she would have taken them down.
But there are literally dozens and dozens and dozens of full thought incendiary texts, uh, even trashing Donald Trump, trashing me, one of them.
Why does Sean Hannity support unprincipled Donald Trump?
Uh, then please pray for my babies and me.
We're about to board the uh the plane to California, and there's a homosexual female.
Uh basically saying Islam shouldn't even exist as a religion, which would go directly against our our constitution and and and other things.
Uh Obama loves all things homosexual and he loves all things Muslim.
Okay, controversial tweet.
How does that play in a general election?
Because I don't think I think that makes somebody unelectable because there's so many of them, and not answering the questions or saying they're taken out of context, that just doesn't fly when you see so much of it.
And I have nothing against Kathy.
I'm just pointing out and uh as somebody that has been around politics for 35 years and broadcasting.
This is not a candidate that can win.
Anyway, uh we now have Dr. Oz is with us.
Now, I've said to this audience before why I supported Dr. Oz.
I supported Donald Trump very early.
I supported Donald Trump because I knew him well.
I supported him because we spent hours and hours on the phone and in person talking about issues of the day.
And I became very confident that I could tell you, my audience, that I have a I have a I have a duty to tell you how I feel, tell you the truth, even if it means I'll get the crap kicked out of me, like in the case when me supporting Donald Trump, I told you he would govern conservatively.
Now there were tons of anecdotal evidence that would show otherwise.
I understand why people like Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, others attack me every day.
Uh that he ended up being big Trump supporters, ironically, but that's okay.
I'm not angry with anybody on paper.
I can understand why they would be suspicious.
I've done the same thing with Dr. Oz.
I'm not supporting him, endorsing him because he's my friend.
I'm endorsing him because he's America first.
He's a solid conservative on every single major issue of the day.
And the people of Pennsylvania, this is the this is a we this is a must-win state.
And it's not an easy state for any Republican to win statewide for the U.S. Senate.
This is a must-hold Senate seat, and if we want to hold the Senate, uh, if we want to win back the Senate in November, this is a critical, crucial race, and the right candidate needs to be on the ticket.
And because I know he's America first, I know he's pro-life, I know he's pro-second amendment.
Uh I know he's secure borders, I know he's for energy independence for these reasons and so many others.
Yes, once again, as a conservative, I have put my credentials behind Dr. Oz that he will govern conservatively and fight for the America first agenda.
Dr. Oz, how are you?
Very well, Sean.
And the good news is you don't have to guess.
I've been doing it my whole career, fighting for Americans against powerful insiders.
I when we first started doing uh your show in the beginning of the pandemic, and every day, God bless you had me on for two months.
And during the pandemic, we attacked mandate and shutdowns and took on some of the far left liberal attacks on Donald Trump who were willing to compromise Americans, American lives, because they're so caught up on their hatred for President Trump.
That's why the fire Fauci refrain became so common for us.
Fauci was censoring the ability of doctors to talk with each other.
The same thing, by the way, is happening in other forms of science.
For example, the the twisting of our knowledge around gender studies in young children.
And that's why biologic men should not be playing women's sports.
But the good news, the reason my campaign is kicking in all gears, the reason the Republican Party is coalescing behind me, is it's fixable if we have strong leadership.
And as you know, I'm that old voice that we need in Washington to represent our Pennsylvania fact.
I've been pro-life.
I'm pro-second amendment, pro-energy, as you pointed out.
And the real goal is to make us a land of plenty again.
Get rid of some of these regulations and rules and levies and the incompetence that surrounds the decisions we're all witnessing now with the baby formula shortage.
Oh my goodness.
The only thing Joe Biden's building better is the Republican Party.
But let's take that opportunity, capture this Senate seat in November, and go to Washington with the ideas and vision and values of Pennsylvania.
You know, I I've watched this phrase closely, and and I've said to you, and I said to other people that I know working that I know working on other campaigns, I said, this doesn't end well when you're spending 40 million dollars that they dumped on your head in negative ads.
You know, I saw one ad in particular, I don't know the candidate or the pack that put it out there, and and they clipped a statement you made about a medical uh issue involving a child's heartbeat.
And they use that to say, oh, he's not pro-life.
And then in the very same if you look at the whole tape, there you are saying, unequivocally, I am pro-life.
And no equivocation, no hesitancy at all.
But that's what I've seen that I felt has been extraordinarily dishonest in this campaign.
And I I, you know, the ads that I've seen run against you make you completely unrecognizable to me.
And 40 million dollars dumped on anybody's head, you you're gonna you're gonna make them look awful because that's what they do in these ads.
Well, these are scar.
But the good news is despite that, the most ever money spent, I get a kind of in a primary, I'm still in the league.
And I think this speaks to a deeper reality.
I've been in your living room every single day for 13 years.
You're not gonna forget what I stood for, which is empowering you, pushing back against powerful insiders, taking on big pharma, big tech company, taking on the U.S. government when appropriate.
You have that street cred when you've been fighting with people in the trenches all this time.
And so I have moved past that, and particularly for refreshing over the last few weeks as you got into a place where I can say, President Trump endorsed me because he said I'm smart, tough, and will never let you down.
And I can focus on what that means to you.
Smart enough to understand whether it's COVID or gender studies or energy policy.
I get it.
I know how to explain it, and I'm so good at it that I can actually be tough about it, which is critical because there's so many people who sort of get it a little bit.
It gets pushed to the side when the wings get hard.
But I'm tough enough to stand tall in the face of adversity.
We've done it together.
You witnessed it.
But finally, President Trump picked this phrase very important.
He said, I will never let you down.
What that basically means is when you go to bed at night, because you can't watch every single thing that happens in the Senate.
You have to ultimately trust your senator.
I will never let you down.
I will always keep America first.
We got a lot of news that we're covering tonight on Hannity.
By the way, fake news CNN made a big fat lie about me, uh, which really took me off.
Uh so we'll we'll get to the bottom of that uh tonight.
Uh also we'll have the very latest of the left.
They do what they always do.
If there's a shooting and and the cr the person is a crazy and they can portray them as a right winger, it's right wing radio, talk radio's fault.
Like Bill Clinton blaming the Oklahoma City bombing on Rush Limbaugh, which is obscene.
What did I say when Bernie Sanders, a Bernie Sanders supporter shot Steve Scalise and others in that ball field.
I said, I do not blame Bernie Sanders and anybody that does is intellectually dishonest and lazy.
We're gonna lay out that case also coming up uh tonight.
Uh and we'll also go over this race in Pennsylvania, so important for tomorrow.
More with Dr. Owls on the other side, 800-941 Sean, our number.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

All right, back to our busy phones.
Let's go to Rick is in New York State.
Rick, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, how are you?
Good, sir.
What's happening?
Hey, listen, I'm an Air Force veteran, and I want to just uh By the way, thank you for serving this great country.
Well, thank you, sir.
And you've been uh been a friend with me riding shotguns for over three million miles.
I'm an independent trucker out here as well.
God, you know, I've had so many truckers call lately.
I love you guys.
I don't I'm not saying it in any other way, except I hope people now understand how important the job you do every day is and how hard the job you do every day is.
I have very close friends of mine now in the trucking business.
I've learned so much about your industry.
It is not easy.
And you're now you're paying what, six, six fifty a gallon for diesel.
It's crazy.
Scary.
And with thoughts of uh restricting that or uh, you know, putting uh, you know, uh some holds on on diesel.
That's it's it's crazy, you know, to think about how we're gonna progress forward and keeping the commodities in and out of the ports, off the farmlands.
Uh we are the people that drive through The flyover states, you know, going through Middle America, you know, and we are behind the gates over at the ports, and we see the imports and the exports and how the you know the the workers on the docks, you know, are affected by you know these times.
And and it brings me to my point, you know, with uh President Biden and his administration and the policies that he's setting.
It's just um they you know, there's a small representation there of the people that um that really don't don't go for what you know what's going on out there.
I mean the his policies are just in the progressive ideas, are are not helping America, they're hurting Americans every day.
Let me ask you this.
You're you're an independent operator.
Um I assume you just have one truck, right?
You can't drive two at once, so I do have two trucks.
I do have two trucks, yeah.
Okay, so you have you have uh you have your own small trucking business, which is awesome.
Yeah.
Now you pay all this extra money for diesel, you can't make less money, especially in these inflationary times.
So that means you've got to charge more for every load that you're you're moving across the country, right?
That's correct.
And bottom line to answer all that you know and sum it up, it's it takes more money to make less, you know, and uh eventually that pie is gonna shrink to only one slice of pizza.
Yeah.
Well, uh, but they'll get to a it'll get to a point we already have a shortage.
I read, I think it was the Wall Street Journal.
We have a shortage of eighty thousand drivers.
It's it's scary um what they're doing to you guys.
It's scary scary for the entire economy because they keep doing this, and if you get to the point you can't make money, those trucks are going away, and you're gonna find some other way to make money.
Agreed.
And you know, to to the to your point on safety, you know, we're looking towards our um you know, our transportation leaders, you know, like uh Pete Butterjudge, and he's in charge of that.
So uh, you know, uh, we're hoping that maybe he can recognize the thought of protecting the people out here on the roads by uh setting some some good laws that protect those people, you know, not put allowing them to just put people in the trucks and and driving down the roads.
Uh hours of service are concerns and so on and so forth.
But his his I think uh and and his naivete is is just not with this industry.
And uh, you know, that's why an outsider like maybe uh President Trump as an outsider coming in and and running the the United States so well, uh Dr. Oz coming in as an outsider coming into politics might be a better choice, you know, than somebody who is in that political realm of of the everyday uh market.
You know, he's just uh he's not doing the job for us out here commercially, and again, back to my point.
Uh Biden's policies and his administrations are hurting people.
They're hurting people.
It's it's fascinating to watch that the Never Trumper movement would rather have Joe Biden as president and rather have Democrats elected to the Senate.
Looking for the Club for Growth.
They they so hate Donald Trump, they're going against Oz and the supporting Kathy Barnett in Pennsylvania.
And, you know, I I wonder if the donors to Club for Growth have any clue the things that she said and tweeted over the years.
And I'm by the way, I'm not a cancel person.
I'm not a boycott person.
I'm just looking at it objectively, saying, uh oh, this person is gonna have a tough, if not impossible, time of winning.
Um listen, God bless you.
I really appreciate it, Rick.
Drive safe on the road.
Hopefully we'll see you out there one day, and uh we we really appreciate what you and all your fellow truckers do for all of us and the economy every day.
Thank you.
Sure, we do too.
Uh appreciate you and all that you do.
Thanks a lot.
And uh again, I gotta just end on one point where there is speed, there is power.
And uh you know that.
And and I hope our uh elected restaur uh uh representatives consider that too when they look for results.
I want to shake up the system.
It's time.
We need disruption.
We need to get America back on track.
It is extraordinarily dangerous.
These are dangerous times, both for national security and economic security.
Anyway, appreciate the calls, drive safe.
All right, quick break right back.
We'll take a look at the gubernatorial race in Pennsylvania when we get back.
