Our number if you want to be a part of this extravaganza 800-941 Sean.
So much to talk about.
Not a good day.
Well, not a good, not a good weekend for our country or our president.
I at some point is is everyone gonna feel the same sense of you know, just cringe embarrassment at the president of the United States.
I mean, this was an unmitigated disaster in Hanoi.
You know, it does a 26-minute international international press conference in Vietnam.
Good evening, Vietnam.
Oh, great.
Uh I don't want to contain China.
What do you mean you don't want to contain China?
What it's perfectly fine for them to in international airwaves to take on hostile maneuvers against our fighter jets, and and you don't want to contain that.
You don't want to contain China confronting our Navy in international waters.
You don't want to contain China and their hostile aggression flying into Taiwan airspace with their fighter jets day in and day out, and and you don't want any stoppage of their acting on what is obviously their territorial territorial ambitions.
Are you kidding me?
I spent more time with President Xi that any world.
No.
I can't take it.
It is a national embarrassment.
It is so bad, it's just getting so worse.
I mean, when the Democrats start recognizing this for what it is, and they are more and more.
We saw that last week with Van Jones and David Axelrod.
David Axarod had more comments even this weekend, and James Carville.
It's just the beginning.
I I'm I'm getting convinced more every day that Democrats see what we see.
And the the problem when you have cognitive decline, whatever manifestation form it may take.
Maybe, maybe it's Alzheimer's, maybe it's dementia.
I don't know.
You know, some say he might be exhibiting.
I've talked to doctors that say definitely they would like to test them for issues involving Parkinson.
I don't know.
I'm not a doctor, but I can see what I see.
And I could see that that this is getting progressively worse, which is anybody that's ever known anybody that's ever sadly suffered from Alzheimer's or dementia.
It's it's degenerative.
You don't get better.
You only get worse, and they haven't exactly made a ton of progress in terms of being able to reverse uh cognitive decline.
I I know there are certain treatments, medicines that are offered, and I'm I would love the list of people, uh the visitor logs at Camp David and his home and his beach home and everywhere else he goes with his you know 50% of the time being off and and find out I wonder how many doctors are on the list.
Why is it that they don't keep visitor logs at Camp David?
They they did for every other president.
Anyway, and I'm just I'm watching him and listening to him.
It got so bad this weekend where you had a wife house staffer just abruptly stepping up, that's it, ending his rambling Vietnam press conference mid-sentence that ended with, but uh I'm I'm going to bed.
I'm so tired.
So tired, I can barely lift my eyes.
I can barely oh I could fall asleep right here.
I'm so tired.
This is the this is the hardest job in the world.
He's not up to this task.
So he abruptly ends the press conference, or staff does while he's actually answering a question.
Any other president would have had a fit, and then says, I'm going to bed.
I'm like, well, that that's a great That that's a great note to end a press conference on.
And anyway, it's you know, then we oh, and then we're bringing back the classics.
He says the only existential threat more frightening than nuclear war is global warming.
Here we go again.
He calls climate deniers lying dog face pony s soldiers.
I'm like, really?
Again?
Now many of you we talked about the the extra billion dollars that he's sending to Ukraine.
And meanwhile, we're not even taking care of the people of Maui the way they should be taken care of.
He never since March, in spite of a promise made it to East Palestine and in Ohio.
You know, never mind the Abrams tanks and F sixteens that Ukraine desperately needs to fend off the Russians.
No, the Biden administration of the one billion dollars they want they're they're pledging five hundred and twenty million in Ukraine's energy infrastructure as part of a new aid page uh uh package.
Here's the problem.
Wink and Tony Blinken said last week during a visit to Kiev at the Ukraine recovery conference held in London a few months ago that he pledged that the US would invest more than five hundred and twenty million in making Ukraine's energy infrastructure, more than half of which has been destroyed by Russia, cleaner, more resilient, more integrated with Europe.
And he said the US is now upholding that promise.
Washington has approved a hundred and thirty five billion dollars now worth of aid to Ukraine.
We have thirty seven trillion in debt.
You gotta be kidding me.
We cannot afford these policies.
Anyway, you know I have five questions he says at one point.
Five questions.
Then he takes forever.
You know, takes a long pause, finishes the question saying I'm going to bed.
I I've got let me just play the montage and play it all together so you get the full feel of part of what this twenty six minute disastrous press conference stopped by his aides was like.
It is evening, isn't it?
It's around the world in five days, it's interesting.
Well, there's that one of my staff members said, remember the famous song, good morning to Vietnam?
Good evening, Vietnam.
Uh and uh good morning back in America.
Now I will take your questions.
Five people here.
Um the Indian looks at John Wayne and points to the union stone and says, He's a lion dog faced pony soldier.
Well, there's a lot of lying dog face pony soldier out there about global warming.
Not anymore.
All of a sudden, don't realize it.
And it's nothing like seeing the light.
He may have a gay plan.
He just hasn't shared it with me.
But I tell you what, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go to bed.
But not anymore.
All of a sudden, I'll realize it.
It's a problem.
And it's nothing like seeing the light for uh and uh I see.
I'm just following my orders here.
Uh staff is anybody having spoken to uh I call mine.
I'm calling on five questions.
I'm eating from BOA.
We it wasn't confrontational at all.
Thank you, everybody.
This ends the calendar press conference.
Thanks, everyone.
thank you So Mike gets cut off.
And the music gets turned up and and Joe just, you know, uh well, we're ending this disaster right now, and we're gonna I mean it's unreal.
No other president would ever put up with us.
He just doesn't he won't remember by the time he gets on the plane and probably, you know, passes out, probably wouldn't even need an ambient to sleep on that plane.
It is it is just it is so humiliating for this country to watch all of this, but this is what you know, the Democrats are putting forward.
Now, it is getting interesting, I will say that.
I mean, as it relates to the the elections, I think it's gonna have a big impact on on all of this.
You know, we now have had article after article since we discussed Carvel and Van Jones and David Axel come out this weekend, the Hill for example, Democrats expressed frustration with Bi Biden's you know, horrific poll numbers and are concerned and frustrated, but they're doubtful any messaging shift by the White House is going to change how people, you know, view him before the 2024 election.
How can it change anybody's mind?
I mean, most Americans, 61% live in paycheck to paycheck.
They're not happy with the economy and his energy proposals.
They're not happy with the fact that gas is $4 a gallon and now going up to $100 a barrel again.
They're not happy about it.
His approval rating of 38% is underwater with independence.
You know, and and I know that a lot of people saying, well, Hannity, what about President Trump?
He may have as many as as four criminal trials going on.
Uh why they didn't indict him earlier, it's a fair question, considering most of these issues go back to January or the end of 2020 or January of 2021.
Why did they have to wait till an election year?
Why would you have a trial and no appeal when the president has such hostile venues in terms of jury selection in these cases?
By the way, you know, to now see the media mob listing alternatives.
If Biden exits the 2024 race, Chucky Todd had Gavin Newsom on this weekend.
He obviously is on the list, and he just all but shut the door completely, which he kind of did with me when I brought it up with him on the issue of whether or not he would run at all in this in the in this campaign season, and he said no, but the most obvious would be Vice President Harris, and I I don't think anybody really likes her.
Her approval ratings lower than his.
If you just start there.
I mean, more people have a favorable view of Biden than are positively disposed towards her.
Every time she speaks, it's an unmitigated word salad disaster.
But so Newsom closes the door.
What is that?
Create an opening for Pete, Mayor Pete, Buddha judge.
Gretchen Whitmer?
I mean, you gotta be kidding me.
I mean, I I tell me who else AOC.
Let's run AOC.
We'll put her on the list.
Okay, that's where the Democratic Party is anyway.
She always has been the real speaker of the House.
She's the biggest power broker in the House for the Democratic Party.
You know, these bad Biden polls now are stoking third party angst.
Robert F. Kennedy's so disgusted with his treatment by the Democratic media mob and you know, this this Democratic protection program.
He can't even get on fake news CNN.
He actually said in an interview, Fox has been the only ones that's given me airtime been fair to me.
And we asked him all the questions about some of his controversial positions.
I just gave him a chance to answer.
Because I didn't think it was my role to be debating him.
I'm not running for the Democratic Party nomination.
And I just have enough faith in you, my listeners on radio, my viewers on TV, that that you understand that he's saying something controversial.
If he's talking about COVID or vaccines, that that's not that's his opinion.
And just because he expresses it doesn't make him a bad person.
I think some of his views are a little nutty, some of them, you know, maybe not so far off.
Uh but now they're talking about third-party angst, and then you have this, you know, this no labels party and a lot of talk that people like Joe Manchin, Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Lieberman is actively involved in this.
Remember what they did to poor Joe Lieberman.
They challenged him in a primary in Connecticut.
Then he ran third party, and he he won in Connecticut.
David Axerod pointed out Biden must decide whether he can compete, complete the job, first of all, and then prevent a Trump presidency or step aside.
Now that's on top of his his critical remarks last week.
Let me tell you, David Axelrod is a direct shot to everything Obama world.
And by the way, Van Jones, same thing.
James Carville, just all things Democratic Party.
Now 75% of voters, thanks to Biden, want a maximum age limit for elected officials.
Nancy Pelosi, she's now running again.
Andrew Sullivan, who backed Biden.
He's a he's a smart guy.
Just I've never agreed with his politics, but he's not he's not dumb.
He's a smart guy.
He backed Biden in 2020, calls for him to step down, slamming the president's agent.
I'm sorry, uh ancient.
What do I what am I saying?
Botox filler face while insisting no one rooted in human reality believes he can last till 2028.
That is ancient.
Ohio's working class felt deserted by Democrats.
When is that gonna spill over into Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan?
I'd like to see those poll numbers for Republicans come up drastically.
I mean, two-thirds of the country live in paycheck to paycheck.
Not good.

All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
You know, every once in a while there's something that comes along.
It's a total game changer for the better.
Uh think cell phone, think uh jet engine.
Now, recently, our friends at Rhino Metals, they are America's leading safe manufacturer.
They launched an amazing new safe design, and it just falls into this category.
It's called SafeX, and it means that you get the anti-Pry protection and security of safes that cost thousands, much more for a fraction of the cost for only 749 bucks.
You can get the safe I have.
Rhino's most popular.
It's full size, fire rated, safe X, gun safe, and they'll curbside deliver it right to your home.
And you can look online, go to their website, RhinoSafe.com, Rhino spelled like the animal, R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E, one word, rhinosafe.com, and see their side-by-side uh break in testing videos.
They're they're beyond impressive, and it is outperforming brands that cost five times as much.
And other safe models, vault doors, now on sale, up to a thousand bucks owned, uh a thousand bucks off.
I've owned plenty of gun safes over the years.
And I can tell you without a doubt, Rhino Metal safes are better than anyone I've had in every way imaginable with the best warranty and the best support.
Go to their website, Rhino Safe, one word, spelled like the animal, R-H-I-N-O-S-A-F-E.com.
Find the dealer near you.
Um, you know, it's here it is, the 22nd anniversary.
How many of us don't remember where we were on 9-11 2001?
We all remember.
How could you forget?
I mean, 2,977 of our fellow Americans were slaughtered that day.
You know, we'll get into a discussion about the state of our border and you know, all these people on the terror watch list That they caught and you know all the people that have come into this country, gotta ways uh estimates to be as high as nearly two million gotta ways.
Uh, what do we know about these people?
What do we know about the people that Joe's letting in, aiding and abetting and letting into the country?
Did we know anything about their backgrounds, radical associations?
Anything about their health status?
Nope.
Not really.
It's just unreal.
Uh anyway, later on, we'll play Daryl Worley's Have You Forgotten.
Um we had put this together.
And I remember exactly that I can remember that day like in slow motion.
It was just a brutal attack on this country.
We'd never seen an attack like this.
You know, Pearl Harbor second to this in terms of the sheer number of people lost.
And then people even to this day dying of 9-11 related illnesses, those that went down to ground zero, and were helping in the rescue recovery efforts.
Um anyway, there she stands.
Michael W. Smith.
This just into our newsroom.
A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.
That was another plane.
An airplane has crashed into the World Trade Center.
Oh lost.
There appears to be a gaping hole.
Oh, there it goes, there it goes, there it goes.
Here it goes.
But I know side has collapsed and building has collapsed.
Now it's two and that a murder explosion of a complete collapse.
The night to come out, so what are the doors?
She stands.
Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center.
We're not gonna be coward by it that we're not afraid.
Faithful friend.
The freedom loving nations of the world stand by our side.
Proud to have the red, white, and blue.
This country will not relent.
So away.
Proud to be a part of this country.
I think about the families, the children.
Freedom itself was attacked, and freedom will be defended.
I can hear you, Russian hears you.
Just when you think it might be over.
Just when you think the fine is gone.
Someone raised design to race.
The result of our great nation is being tested.
Then she stands.
I'm glad you eaten for the Latin United States and the guarding and death of Then we will not forget the 2800 people.
Police and fire not only were heroes at the beginning, but they're still heroes.
We're gonna come out of this emotionally stronger.
And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.
Wants to wards I don't think anybody should forget the questions of my faith.
By the brave Those guys more than anyone ever expected in this tree.
They messed with the wrong city.
They messed with the wrong state.
And I just don't want people to forget.
They all had a sense of duty to protect us all.
When our lost impression down we still failed in our determination.
Someone will come from the case.
The rest of the country now understand who the true defenders are.
May the Irish hills caress you, may her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
We see standards as the tongue.
May the blessings of St. Patrick be hold.
God bless Ireland and God bless the United States of America.
She stands.
Now America's embracing a new ethic and a new creed.
Let's roll.
The phrase New York's finest and New York's bravest means something now, doesn't it?
This is a time to reflect and be thankful for where we are today.
We will rebuild New York City.
Still.
Yet after America was attacked.
It was as if our entire country looked into a mirror and saw our better selves.
Unbelievable.
And later we'll play Darrell Worley's hit, you know, have you forgotten?
Because so many remember Joe Biden and the Al-Qaeda Five.
They're saying, well, maybe they don't need the death penalty, including, even including Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the mastermind of 9-11.
And what are we doing now?
We're not vetting anybody.
At the end of this year, it's going to be between seven and eight million illegal immigrants, aided and abetted by Biden open borders policy.
No background checks, no vetting at all whatsoever.
You know, what is that 170 people that we know were on the terror watch list that we did stop from getting in?
What about the Gotta ways estimates as high as two million?
What do we know about them?
Unreal.
We'll get into that later in the program.
By the way, on the issue of 9-11 here, the 22nd year, um, we have uh a lot of Republican presidential hopefuls just ripping into Biden for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
Friday night I had on Gold Star families.
They they they lost their sons, and in one case, uh daughter-in-law, you know, and these people are in pain, and Joe wouldn't even take a meeting with them.
Donald Trump did.
Biden planned to spend uh all day in Alaska following his trip to India for the G-20 and his stop in Hanoi.
White House says that he's taking part in a memorial ceremony with members of the military.
I think Nikki Haley's right.
The president should absolutely be here.
You know, Mike Pence took part in Monday's remembrance in Iowa.
Said he hopes that Biden will honor the sacrifice of all those served in the military in the wars that followed.
Just a disaster.
Unbelievable in every way.
And you know, what other things are we doing that's great for national security?
Washington pre-beacon has a story out today.
Iran has now been growing their stockpile of highly enriched uranium since Joe Biden took office and restarted diplomacy, and where he's even been importing oil from Iran.
Well, we're gonna make the mules of Iran rich again.
In addition to not enforcing the key sanctions on Iran, which provided that terrorist nation, access to nearly 45 billion in oil revenue.
The administration recently freed up an additional 16 billion dollars, a portion of which was the result of the hostage deal.
But of course, this was not you know a ransom.
That's what they told us.
Iran is now has the capacity to fuel six nuclear warheads in one month's time and ten within four months, according to an analysis of the latest data released by nuclear watchdog group.
That's what they're saying.
According to the Institute for Science and International Security, think tank that reviewed the latest disclosures about Tehran's stockpile from the IAEA, International Atomic Energy Agency, significantly faster than the three to four months it would have taken Iran to build one nuclear weapon in 2020 when economic sanctions were at their strictest before the Biden administration took office.
But don't worry, he's gonna take a billion of your tax dollars or half a billion in your tax dollars to help get Ukraine cleaner and more resilient energy.
Wow.
U.S. Marines ordered to remove human waste from Kabul airport as part of Biden's surrender deal with the Taliban.
Miranda Devine writing for the New York Post, before they were allowed to leave Kabul, having just lost 13 comrades to a suicide bomber.
U.S. Marines were ordered to pick up human feces, another disgusting trash at the airport so as to leave it pristine.
What?
the taliban you just can't make this up what else did we read president she he he's done with the established world order.
Because he sees that America, the world without America, strength and leadership is rudderless.
This is what a weak, frail cognitive mess of a president does.
It impacts the whole world that is emboldened our enemies.
China on high alert, Canadian ships and in transit in the Taiwan Straits.
Things are heating up there.
Pentagon, though, looking to develop a fleet of AI drones systems to combat China.
Oh, that's going to do it.
Meanwhile, they have hypersonic missiles pointed right at us.
I saw this Daily Mail article that HIV protesters were uh occupying Kevin McCarthy's office.
Seven arrested as activists got on their knees and started chanting.
Unreal.
Did anybody did you guys watch the U.S. Open?
I watched Coco Graf one on uh Saturday and Novak Djokovic went on Sunday.
You were watching golf?
The tennis fights.
It's Coco Golf.
And yes, I think.
Yeah, Coco Golf.
Sorry.
Yeah, she was she was amazing.
Oh, yeah.
She was amazing.
I almost felt bad for her opponent because the crowd was so against her.
They wanted Coco to win in the worst way.
I wanted her to win in the West worst way.
I was happy she won.
Um, and I wanted Djokovic to actually break the record.
He got now his 24th Grand Slam.
And here's the interesting part.
Uh, anyway, he so he wins straight sets against Medvedev.
This was an hour and 50 minute second set.
It was one of the most fascinating tennis sets I've ever seen in my life, and it's such athleticism on display.
Now, neither Djokovic nor Medvedev were allowed to play in New York last year because of COVID restrictions.
People might recall.
Anyway, so uh on Sunday, their Moderna was one of the sponsors for the tournament.
And they had on ESPM their quote, shot of the day sponsored by Moderner.
And the Moderna shot of the day was Novak Djokovic, the guy that refused the COVID shot, who won the championship, and probably would have been a odds on favorite to win it last year.
Unbelievable.
Now, the level of athleticism it takes to be that that great an athlete, it's incredible.
You can't measure it.
Everything they put in their body, if you watch them in the changeovers, you know, they're they're either eating a banana, they're sucking down, you know, some type of protein of some kind, some type of energy bar, uh, electrolytes, you know, they're just pounding it into their system so that they can perform at the highest levels.
And the heat and humidity the past week was awful.
Oh, it was awful.
Awful.
Well, anyway.
That's that's the battle.
By the way, the liberal media mob.
Yeah, they uh one of them actually said this weekend who is this?
I think it was over at MSD and C. Anyway, hoping that Donald Trump must die in jail.
Liberal host says, set an example.
Wow.
PBS's round table.
They can't believe Biden's pretty extraordinary accomplishments can be ignored.
What are they?
CBS praised Biden for having accomplished many important things.
Start with the list.
Tell me what it is.
They admitted incorrectly editing Kamala Harris's interview clip, omitting GOP attacks on her.
Unreal.
Crazy times.
By the way, you want to know what typical weekend in the United States is like these days?
You know, no bail laws.
You know, defund dismantle.
Let's see.
We have the Thomas R. Proctor High School security guard in Utica, New York shot in the head during a brawl at a high school football game.
You got a Chicago rideshare driver brutally beaten and carjacked by three women in Vegas, a rapper charged with murder after allegedly making a music video bragging about crime in Pennsylvania.
You have an escaped killer, stole a van over the weekend, tried to contact acquaintances, still looking for that guy.
Nike store in Portland had to shut their doors as crime and safety concerns tear through that, you know, peaceful city.
It's all peaceful.
A teen punched by a stranger in the big apple, you know, tears up recounting, you know, the unprovoked attack.
Oakland leaders addressed the residents' frustration over rising crime, but they're not refunding the police, and they're still going with these idiotic bail laws.
Anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
White House physician, former White House physician Ronnie Jackson will join us.
And later, how bad is it at the border on this 9-11 anniversary?
How many people are setting up terror cells in our country thanks to Joe's open borders?
If you're a homeowner, for most people it's their biggest asset.
When's the last time you checked on your title?
Because that's the document that shows you own your home.
Now, if the answer is never, you need to know about the fastest growing scam out there.
The FBI calls it simply house stealing.
And here's the thing they don't want your house.
They want your money.
They want your equity in your house.
And these scammers will forge your signature on a transfer document stating that you sold your home and that you they're the new owner.
Then they take out loans using your equity as collateral, then they disappear after they rob you blind.
You know, just like you have to watch your credit, you have to, you know, watch your home title.

So Jennifer Granholm, your energy secretary, takes a trip from the uh through the Southeast from Charlotte, North Carolina to Memphis, Tennessee, you know, to tell us how great billions of dollars the White House is pouring in a green energy and electric vehicles.
Then they tried to put a non-electric vehicle in line to get charged, and a family with a baby was so upset they had to call the police because they were cutting the line.
