This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, 54 days, best election coverage available on your radio dial.
Thank you for being with us.
Greatest political jiu-jitsu moves ever.
Now on steroids and human growth hormone.
We have video of two migrant buses arriving outside of Vice President Kamala Harris's Naval Observatory residence in Washington, D.C. courtesy of Governor Greg Abbott of Texas.
Then you have Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sending two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.
Massachusetts, you know, sanctuary state, sanctuary city supporters, the Democrats are reacting and say, this is evil and this is inhumane.
Let's see, let's watch, let's observe how long it is before they all become racist by their own definition and want to remove the illegal immigrants from their cities and their towns.
Let's see how fast that happens.
And by the way, we're talking about dozens and dozens of people.
We're not talking about what border states like Texas and Arizona have been dealing with, millions of people.
We've seen this now in Washington, D.C. Muriel Bowser calling a state of emergency, demanding the National Guard and demanding $50 million from the federal government to deal with the problem of illegal immigrants being bused to the sanctuary area of Washington, D.C.
I love Lori Lightweight in Chicago.
These illegal immigrants were sent there, and she put them in buses herself and sent them out right out of the city.
Guess that makes her racist.
I guess that makes her evil and inhumane too.
The Illinois governor has issued a disaster proclamation, deployed the National Guard because of buses of migrants from Texas arriving in Chicago.
In New York City, the new mayor, Adams, who brags about the compassionate sanctuary status of New York City, he says it's now at the breaking point with the arrival of all these illegal immigrants at the border, though.
Look what we're dealing with again.
Remember Del Rio, Texas, what they were dealing with.
Well, now we're back.
It's all happening again in El Paso.
Shocking photos.
Thousands of migrants sleeping on border city streets.
Now, it looks like a third world country.
No sanitation at all whatsoever.
Why shouldn't you think about this?
That is great political jiu-jitsu.
You say it's okay.
Everyone's screaming at Governor Abbott and what they must do.
Joe Biden is letting them in.
He's aiding and abetting the law breaking.
He is giving preferential treatment to illegal immigrants.
There's no COVID test.
There's no background check.
There's no vaccine mandate.
There's no means testing whether people can take care of themselves or not.
There's no background check in terms of radical association.
None of this is taking place.
But they say, you know, they're now insisting what, that these states take care of all these people that Joe Biden is trafficking into the country, allowing to be trafficked into the country.
So anyway, lawmakers in Massachusetts were tasked with caring for these migrants yesterday when Ron DeSantis sent the planes to Martha's Vineyard.
And on Wednesday, Democratic lawmakers are voicing their criticism online after they were forced to act swiftly to provide them shelter and food and blankets and other necessities.
Representative Dylan Fernandez, a local lawmaker, represents Martha's Vineyard, as well as Falmouth, Nantucket, and other areas said on social media that DeSantis had sent the migrants to gain cheap political points.
No, you claim that you're a sanctuary, safe place for illegal immigrants.
We're not.
They're yours.
You asked for them, you got them.
I mean, it just makes perfect sense.
It doesn't have to be evil and humane.
You know, Representative Fernandez describing the migrant drop-off as evil and inhumane.
It doesn't have to be evil and inhumane.
They were treated well on the plane.
They were comfortable on the plane ride over.
And guess who has a palatial waterfront mansion, a short stop where all these new migrants are being, you know, housed now?
None other than Joe Biden's good buddy, Barack Obama.
He's got plenty of room.
I'm sure he could take in a couple of dozen illegal immigrants.
Lead by example.
You believe in sanctuary status?
Show us.
Anyway, he's got, what, 29.3 waterfront acres near in Martha's Vineyard.
Pretty impressive estate for the Obamas.
Built in 2001, they got seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a powder room, also boasting of an elegant master suite complete with a fireplace, two guest wings, two car garage, sundeck, boathouse, and a pool.
We have those migrants, maybe they can bunk some of them on Obama's property.
Maybe we can set up a couple of ten cities on the property.
I'm sure that they'll be only too happy to help.
All Joe has to do is ask.
The Office of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker confirming with Fox News Digital that it was aware of the situation.
Local lawmakers provided short-term shelter to the migrants.
Well, this is what border states have been dealing with, and they've been yelled at and lectured at.
And now Kamala Harris refuses to go to the border.
So this morning, when she woke up, she discovered the border came to her.
And two migrant buses from Del Rio, Texas arrived at Kamala Harris's residence at the Naval Observatory.
100 people picked up at Eagle Pass, sent by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, including migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, multiple migrants asking.
You know, asked by Fox News Digital said they think the border's open, contrary to what Harris said the other day.
Kind of negates what she said with Chucky Todd.
Eric Adams says the busloads of migrants have brought New York City shelters to their breaking point.
How is it that all of a sudden, all these people lecturing Texas, Arizona, now when it's in their backyard, now it's the problem.
Now they have to take care of the people.
You mean the way Texas has had to bear this burden?
To this year alone, only a million one illegal immigrants showing up at the Texas border.
So now they're only getting a small taste of what Texas and Arizona and other border states are dealing with.
And facing a population explosion in New York City's shelter system, the arrival of 11,000 migrants had the shelter system nearing its breaking point, the new mayor of New York has said.
Well, guess who sent the overwhelming majority of those migrants?
By the way, it wasn't Greg Abbott.
It wasn't Ron DeSantis.
Plane loads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden's administration to resettle them across the region.
Why don't they call Joe Biden?
Because, and Rob Astorino was the first person to point this out to us, former Westchester County, I guess, chairman was this position.
And he pointed out these 2 a.m., 4 a.m. flights were coming into Westchester Airport, a relatively obscure airport, because they didn't want to fly them into Kennedy and LaGuardia where they would be noticed.
You know, County Commissioner in Martha's Vineyard said, you know, he would love for Martha's Vineyard to be an immigrant haven.
Okay, well, now we're helping you achieve your goal and your dream.
Now deal with it.
Now understand what every other border state has been going through.
And you're not even beginning to understand it.
D.C. Mayor Bowser declaring a public health emergency, demanding $50 million.
They're all calling up the National Guard.
They can't take it.
They can't handle it.
Joe Biden caused this.
Now they're lying about it.
They're lying to such an unbelievable degree.
There's an interesting piece in the New York Post today.
The Biden administration scuttled Haiti's plan for free elections and backed this de facto dictator in exchange for his willingness to accept deportees, according to America's former envoy for the country, Daniel Foote, the Biden-appointed former U.S. special envoy to Haiti,
said the administration has supported Dr. Ariel Henry, who took power as both acting prime minister and acting president after the assassination of the previous president because he was willing to accept Haitian migrants who have rushed to the U.S. border.
He's still not sending them back in large enough degrees.
There's a New York Post editorial today about sanctuary screams.
Democrats, the media, they're suddenly all alarmed that illegal immigrants are turning sanctuary cities like D.C., Chicago, New York into unofficial border towns.
Never mind the pain in the actual border towns is so much more dramatic and so much bigger.
Migrants now have transformed D.C. into an unofficial border town.
A Washington Post story lamented last week about all the newcomers being sent by Governor Abbott, Governor Ducey, Governor DeSantis, Democratic Representatives Eleanor Holmes Norton and others are calling the $50 million in federal funding for sanctuary cities to cope with the new arrivals while slamming these governors.
How rich suddenly when cities that end, you know, that don't support the laws of the land and support Biden trafficking and being involved in human trafficking and not enforcing our laws, and which, by the way, would be unconstitutional, probably impeachable, his name was Trump.
You know, now all of a sudden they want to race to federal law and said, we need to enforce the laws.
Oh, so how soon will it be until they all become racist and want to get rid of all of these illegal immigrants because they can't afford it?
Millions of illegal border crosses swamping across border communities for 20 months, and the silence from the media mob and Democrats has been deafening.
Now they're being resettled in their areas and they don't like it one bit.
And they think it's inhumane and they think it's mean and unfair.
Well, you're just getting, these are your policies.
You bought them.
You sold them.
Now own them.
It's really that simple.
Pretty unbelievable.
It's actually pretty funny to me.
Kamala Harris got roasted today for traveling to promote a climate or the administration's climate policy.
She's flying to Buffalo, New York to promote the administration's action on climate change, and she's flying there using one of you.
You may not know this.
We've discussed it in the past.
We have between jets and helicopters, the federal government that flies people, not only the president, the vice president, but all these cabinet officials and all these other people.
They use them all the time.
You pay for all of those private jets.
You pay for all of those helicopters and they use them all of the time.
Now she's being criticized because she's going to a climate change conference in Buffalo, New York.
And to do so, she's creating one big fat carbon footprint to get there.
Now, the difference is I like airplanes.
I think they're the coolest things in the world.
You get to go from New York to California in, what, six hours?
Not bad.
Fly back because you have a good tailwind.
You can get back in five hours.
Not bad.
Pretty cool advancement of the human condition.
But these hypocrites, all of a sudden, you know, they don't want to be challenged on this repulsive hypocrisy.
But they're going to lecture you that you ought to spend 22 grand more and buy an electric vehicle and give up your gas-powered vehicle.
They don't tell you that Mother Earth is pillaged in the process to get these rare minerals and, you know, nickel and cobalt and manganese.
I don't even know what half these things are.
But they use heavy equipment.
They use diesel fuel to mine them and pillage Mother Earth.
And then when you charge the battery that they make for your electric vehicle, guess what?
That comes from an electric grid, 90% of which is from fossil fuels.
Oh, so how does that help the environment?
You see how stupid all this is?
I'm not saying one day we can't get there, but we're not there now and we're not there in the near future.
The near future being defined as the next two decades.
So until then, we ought to be energy independent.
Until then, we should be energy dominant and be the richest country on the face of the earth.
Solve the inflation problem, price of gas problem, heating and cooling problem, the price of transporting all goods and services to the stores that you go to would lower the price of everything.
But they're too stupid.
They'd rather import oil from Iran, OPEC, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela.
The dumbest people running government.
In 54 days, you can fix that.
Looks like Hunter Biden's paternity problems are back in the news again.
Apparently, the first son, interesting they never raided his house, isn't it?
Pretty interesting.
Because we know crimes were committed.
We know that he implicates his own father.
Anyway, apparently the first son is tired of paying child support for the four-year-old daughter he had with an Arkansas, quote, exotic dancer.
Maybe the big guy can kick in some of his share to help out his granddaughter.
I don't know.
Maybe Joe and Joe Biden have completely ignored this kid since she was born.
I don't know why.
Should be a reason.
I'm sure he's never going to be asked the question because he's not Donald Trump.
But Hunter's trying to get child support payments for his four-year-old child lowered by claiming a substantial change to his financial circumstances.
President's son has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the child support payments that he makes.
And the mother of the daughter, he's never apparently met the daughter.
Daughter's four, according to a Monday court filing.
Hunter cited a substantial material change in his financial circumstances, including, but not limited to his income.
For the reason behind his request, it was not immediately clear what the change in Hunter's income is.
I assume that because of the laptop, business might have slowed down a little bit.
Anyways, attorney who signed the motion said reforms to child support guidelines in Arkansas were behind Hunter's push to review the payments.
The motion was filed, and we'll see what they ultimately end up paying.
I guess he's not making millions from Burisma.
I guess those billion-dollar deals with China are done.
Payments from Russian oligarchs and Kazakhstan oligarchs, that's gone away too.
Can you imagine?
Just because his dad's the president.
Driving the liberals nuts.
Sean Hannity is back on the radio right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Overwhelming majority of you, the American people, now say the Biden inflation crisis has negatively impacted your financial security.
Fox News poll says 78% of voters, inflation has caused them financial hardship, up since July, up 11 points since December.
Some 34% describe it as a serious hardship.
Again, up from earlier this summer.
In addition, more than half think inflation is not at all under control.
It's not.
The survey was completed before the latest inflation numbers went up again this week.
And it's just getting bad.
And I pointed out earlier this week, now a 30-year fixed rate mortgage is well above, on the average, more than 6%.
It's the first time since 2008 in the housing crisis we had then, if you remember.
And it's going higher.
And people are pushing now for not a 75 basis point, but 100 basis point, full one point increase, which is going to raise rates even higher.
I mean, if you go back to where we were last year in terms of interest rates, well, go back to when Donald Trump was president was, what, 2.7% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
This is why I'm telling you, we're only at the beginning of the housing crash that is now inevitable.
It's already beginning to happen.
New home construction is stopping.
Sale of pre-existing homes, you know, there are people still trying to get in the last sale at the price that they want, but sales have slowed dramatically.
Six months ago, if you put a house for sale, and especially in certain areas of the country, you'd have 18 people in an open house on day one, and you'd have multiple offers over asking price.
Those days are gone.
That's not going to happen anymore.
The next thing that's going to happen is home values will literally tumble.
Now, there are going to be exceptions.
If Florida keeps taking in an additional 800 new people a day because people are leaving their current state and moving to Florida, they're going to be fine.
I mean, they might have some impact, but it'll be a lot less than the rest of the country.
Let's put it that way, especially areas that people want to move to.
And states like Tennessee, the Carolinas, Texas, Alabama, they're going to be fine.
It's not going to be as bad for them.
You know, how embarrassing, could it get any more embarrassing that our own government has issued guidance and guidelines for our soldiers to fight inflation and their advice is to take advantage of food stamps?
Quote, service members and their families may be eligible, the guidance is telling them.
With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by in the budgets they've set and used before, according to the guidance.
Soldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army's financial readiness program.
They're telling them to get on food stamps.
And meanwhile, they're going to be taxed and they're going to pay for some other kid's college tuition.
A kid that willingly signed on to a loan.
You just can't make this up.
And Joe Biden, if you listen to him, he is living in an alternate reality.
Where he's living, I don't exactly know because he actually is saying, bragging his policies have created historic economic resurgence in the country and a manufacturing boom.
And he brags as he whispers about reducing the deficit.
What the hell is this guy?
What world is he living in?
Last month, he lied to us saying that we have zero inflation in the country.
Kamalaris, zero inflation in the country.
Well, if we use the same methodology as we used in the 80s, it would be 16%.
Here's Joe yesterday.
I ran for office to build a better America, not just to get us back to how things were before the pandemic.
So we launched a once-in-a-generation effort to invest in America.
We're working to deliver an economy that finally works for working families.
We started with the American Rescue Plan.
It's taken us from economic crisis to economic resurgence.
Jobs are up.
Incomes are up.
People are back to work.
There's nothing we can't do.
Working with so many of you here today, my economic agenda has ignited historic manufacturing boom here in America.
Where is it written that says we can't be the manufacturing hub of the world?
Used to always hear from my friends and the other team.
Yeah, they spend a lot of money and maybe some of it worthwhile, but they're just increasing the deficit.
Guess what?
First year in office, we reduced the deficit by $350 billion.
Guess what?
This year.
This year.
I can't think of it.
We're on track at the end of the fiscal year.
The one Democrat that has been right the whole time on this, and I never thought I'd be quoting him, is Obama Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers.
He's not a dope.
Not somebody I particularly like, but he's not a dope, and he's been pretty dead-on accurate the whole time.
He accurately predicted the Biden inflation crisis more than a year ago.
And he even said unemployment is going to have to get to 5% for a number of years before it will have the impact on lowering inflation that we want and need.
Or we would need 10% unemployment to really stop inflation.
Anyway, now he's saying that when the Fed, now we expect this to happen next week in their effort to counter Biden's inflation crisis.
He says next week when the Fed meets, their next interest rate hike needs to be at least one full percent on top of the last two points, last two 75 basis point increases, three quarters of a point.
So a full percentage point rate hike, that would be the largest increase since the Fed began using overnight interest rates to set monetary policies in the early 90s.
Anyway, Summers suggested the Federal Reserve should consider a full percentage point hike after August's inflation report came in worse than expected.
He said it has seemed self-evident to me for some time now that a 75 basis point move in September is appropriate, he tweeted.
If I had to choose between 100 basis points in September and 50 basis points, I would choose 100 basis points to reinforce credibility.
And then he expanded on his comments on Twitter, noting that the inflation numbers this week, the Consumer Price Index report this week, showed the U.S. had a serious inflation problem that will require aggressive action to correct it.
Quote, core inflation is higher this month than for the quarter, and it's higher this quarter than last quarter, and it's higher this half of the year than the previous one and higher last year than the previous one.
With core inflation running above 7% this month and likely given rent behavior to be elevated, I fear it's unlikely that a peak Fed fund rate around four will be enough to restore 2% inflation.
A hike of a full percentage point or 100 basis points would be the largest of its kind since the Fed began using overnight interest rates to set monetary policy in the early 1990s, according to Bloomberg.
What that means is get ready for the housing market to crash, among other things.
And, you know, look, the farmers around the country, they've been telling us food prices aren't going to go down.
Expect them to be inflated for years now because of the position that they've been put in with a 400% hike in fertilizer and doubling of the price of seeds and inability to get, because of the supply chain crisis, all the spare parts they need for all the equipment they need to feed the world.
So it's getting harder and harder for them.
You know, I'll give you some real life examples of how this is impacting people and really hurting people.
So you have, you know, inflation up this month again, 8.3%, 41-year high.
And you're adding this to what has already been a very grim financial picture.
So gas prices are down slightly.
We've gone through why they're down slightly, artificially so, because Joe is pretty much pillaging our strategic petroleum reserves in the lead up to the election to create the perception that gas prices are really going down permanently when it's only a band-aid and he's compromising national security in the process.
Really, a dumb move.
But anyway, you want to be able to raise your child in a society where you're able to give them the best and provide them the best care.
The New York Post interviews all these people.
They quote this one woman, Brianna Howard, 34-year-old healthcare worker, Fairfax, Virginia, husband Ken Howard, eight-year-old daughter.
And here, she and four other American families are revealing how record inflation is wreaking havoc on their families.
Now, we're talking about people that work hard, play by the rules, you know, in many cases, making good incomes, and they're struggling.
Now, Brianna and Ken Howard, who are featured in this article, make a combined $100,000 a year.
They're cutting coupons, cutting back on luxuries.
They apparently took an annual trip every year to the outer banks of North Carolina, cost $700 more this summer compared to last summer due to rising costs for rental properties, restaurants, et cetera.
Their daughter's summer camp costs $300 more, so that's $1,000 more.
And inconvenient car repairs set the family back another thousand bucks.
People are spending less on home repairs, cutting into Ken's roofing business.
Brianna said they're having to watch pennies in a way that they never did a few years ago.
And we're a typical middle-class, middle-income, average American family, she told the New York Post.
We're more mindful at the grocery store.
It's like, you know, what do we have a coupon for?
I mindlessly picked up a pack of grapes for $10.
It's not something I can continue to do.
They talk about this 55-year-old Rob Obio COVID, something like that.
Anyway, Long Island-based attorney, he says he used to enjoy dinners at local steakhouses twice a week, no longer.
These days, he's working just to get by.
In other words, living paycheck to paycheck, like two-thirds of the country.
And meals out mean he doesn't go to a steakhouse.
He's going to a modest diner where you get like eggs and potatoes and toast and pancakes.
Anyway, he said, diners are now my new luxury.
There really is no surplus income anymore.
There's no savings anymore.
And I pray that this turns around.
It's not going to turn around because they're not doing anything to fix it.
Single best thing we can do to fix it is to go back to energy independence and take it the next step further, energy dominance.
I make a good living for myself.
Why do I have to have no money in the bank?
I finally started snooping around my insurance policies.
He told the New York Post, I'm paying about $11,500 in insurance just for my home and car.
It's nuts.
They feature an actor, a comedian, Gary DeNoya, I guess his name is.
He tends bars to make ends meet.
Financially devastated by the pandemic.
He lost his restaurant gig.
A lot of performing opportunities disappeared.
Anyway, the Jersey City resident found a cheaper apartment to reduce some of the strain.
He collected unemployment, learned to be more resourceful.
He's 38 years old.
He's now back working in restaurants.
He thinks he's beginning to make strides to dig himself out of the financial hold.
But financial, but this inflation and these rent hikes are making it impossible.
In this other case, he says, you know, people tell me I lost weight.
He said, the truth is I can't afford the groceries.
You know, my favorite yogurt is now $10.
A bag of Doritos is $7.
It's cheaper to eat takeout.
I've never eaten this much Chinese takeout because the lunch special will last me three days.
He's also had to cut back on how much he feeds his cats.
He said even the price of cat food has gone up and doubled.
And this is Biden inflation.
This is what he's done to the country.
And then it was going to get worse.
We don't know for sure.
Apparently, they're saying at the White House that they've reached a tentative agreement to avert this national rail strike.
It's the last thing this country needs.
But, you know, we now have, you know, this is why it's going to get worse.
This is why I told you the housing lag is going to be the final nail in the coffin.
Because already people have lost all the money, all the gains that they had under Biden in the stock market for their retirement.
Their IRAs, their 401ks, they're taking massive hits.
Last time I looked earlier today, the Dow was down some, not big, but it was down again.
And now they're going to take a big hit on their home.
And maybe people are locked into a 2.7, 3.5, whatever 30-year fixed rate.
They're not going to pay 6.5% because the cost is so significantly higher.
I mean, just that dramatic.
If you bought a $500,000 house and your monthly payment with a 30-year fixed mortgage of under 3% was, you know, your payment is say $1,600, $1,700.
It's now going to be $2,400 and going higher.
That's how much more monthly you're paying because of the rate increases.
People cannot afford this.
In 54 days, you can change all of this.
All of these Senate races, all of these radical senators we tell you about, you can fire all of them and not elect a single one of them.
Tim Ryan going up against JD Vance is a radical leftist.
Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin is a radical leftist.
That trust fund brat in Pennsylvania that never worked a job in his life that only wants to debate now 14 days before the election when half the vote is already in.
You know, a guy that apparently owns eight homes, but he never had a job.
And when he did have a job as a small-time mayor, he barely showed up to the council meetings.
A guy under his leadership as a lieutenant governor, you know, murder rates go up 60% in Philly suburbs.
This guy can't even utter a sense.
He hasn't answered a single media question the whole time.
He did one pre-taped interview on MSDNC.
I don't count that.
That's not something you count.
People, you know, all these Democrats have one thing in common.
I don't care if it's in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, all of these races, Arizona, Nevada.
They have one thing in common.
All these guys have the most radical positions.
They're hiding in their basement.
They don't answer media questions.
They don't want to debate.
And tens and tens of millions of dollars in negative ads are out there against Republicans.
Where's this money coming from?
