You want to be a part of the program?
Things are getting very, very, very interesting when it comes to presidential politics.
We we have a Democratic Party in just complete disarray.
Almost full fledged panic has broken out, especially over the weekend when these poll numbers came out.
I mean, it just it couldn't be any more clear when Donald Trump is is winning in Nevada over Joe Biden.
Fifty two forty one.
He's winning in Georgia.
Forty nine forty three is winning in Arizona.
Forty nine forty four.
He's winning in Michigan.
Forty eight forty three.
And he's winning in Pennsylvania.
Let's see.
Forty eight forty four.
And it was very tight in in Wisconsin.
And clearly, you know, there's there's panic that has set in among the Democratic Party.
What makes this fascinating is is the moment that we're living in, and I know there's been a lot made over the judge in this case that the civil trial that's been going on in New York, which any court observer, anybody that knows the law is a bit of a joke.
Um I mean, for the the idea that the judge in the case uh just is sticking to, remember, one of the major accusations against Donald Trump, the Trump organization, is that they have given phone valuations of their properties.
And meanwhile, the judge is holding to this insane notion that Mar-a-Lago, which is, you know, close to a billion-dollar property, if not a billion-dollar property.
And I've showed you on TV, for example, empty lots in Palm Beach Ocean Front Lots with nothing on it, no home, just dirt, you know, selling for 200 million dollars, or an acre and a half on the ocean selling for 150 million dollars.
I I know it sounds nuts, but it is nuts.
It's absolutely crazy what's going on down there.
Uh, and those that that that is, you know, millionaire row, I guess, around the country.
It's one of the most expensive counties in the entire world, and that's what the average cost is, whether you like it or not.
And then the judge, in other words, would be guilty of the very thing that this whole case is based on, which is that Donald Trump somehow is overvaluing his his properties to get more favorable loan terms or overvaluing his his properties to get better insurance rates.
The only problem with all of that, in every one of the contracts and applications, there is a provision within the contract that says please do not take our estimates.
It would they every insurance company, every lender has a fiduciary responsibility to do their own research and their own valuations.
I've never heard of a case where a lender would take the word of the homeowner, oh, I think my home's worth five million dollars.
Meanwhile, it's worth 500,000.
No, they are going to do a market analysis themselves and determine themselves what the valuation will be, and then offer loan terms based on their own conclusions.
So the whole thing is nuts.
It's not a single insurance company.
There's not a single uh uh anybody that is covered or bank or lending institution that has complained at all.
That's the nutty part of it.
But it's all part of a promise that the attorney general of New York made when running against when running for election, that she was gonna go after one man, Donald Trump, one organization, the Trump organization, one family, the Trump family.
Listen.
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake.
I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses.
we're going to be a real c*****.
I know my name personally.
That man in the White House.
Who can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights?
Yes, we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
We need to follow his money.
We need to find out where he's laundered money.
We need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.
I look forward to going into the office of attorney general every day.
Defending your rights, and then going home.
And that's the Attorney General of New York.
And anyway, so she uh she made some other comments today, which I I found interesting.
Uh the Attorney General of New York, that we have an administration that is too male, too pale, and too stale.
Listen to this one.
And so we've got to stand up to the federal government.
We've got to stand up to bullies.
We've got to stand up to an inter an administration which is too male, too pale, and too stale.
Too male, too pale, and too stale, too male, too pale, too.
And we will not go away silently.
We will not be silent in the face of this oppression.
Anyway, Donald Trump did also comment on this that this trial is a terrible thing.
This happens in third world countries and banana republics.
and this is what he said there it's a terrible terrible thing these are political operators that You have a racist attorney general who made some terrible statements.
I mean, you see someone that came over the wires today.
It's a very sad situation for our country.
We shouldn't have this.
This is for third world countries.
And it's very unfair.
It's very unfair.
But in the meantime, the people of the country understand it.
They see it, and they don't like it.
They don't like it.
As you said, political warfare, as you would call it, or political lawfare.
Another thing.
That guy had a lot of names for it.
But usually it takes place in third world countries and banana republics.
Nobody's ever seen that to this extent.
We've never seen it here.
But we will go along and we will hopefully uh do very well in every regard, and we'll win the election and we'll make America great again.
That's what we're going to do.
We're going to make America great again.
But we have to take away from the thugs that we deal with and the horrible people that actually must hate our country to do this.
But we will uh we'll fight very hard for our country.
Thank you very much, everybody.
All right.
He is a lawyer by trade, former Democrat when he was Leo 1.0.
Uh he's been watching all of the happenings here.
What is your reaction to all of this?
Well, Sean, you summed it up as always perfectly.
Look, there's no victim here.
There's no victim in this New York fraud case, except Donald Trump.
And what she said, the two male, two stale, too pale, she's a racist.
She's a black woman who is a racist towards white male.
Here's the problem.
Here's a judge who knows Sean.
I can tell you right now to your listener, it's going to be reversed.
When he goes in court today and say, I'm not here to hear what President Trump has to say.
What is he there for?
What is he there for?
He's not there to hear what President Trump has to say in his defense.
This is a kangaroo court.
The verdict is already set.
They're going to go after Trump.
The question is how much?
The problem is this.
It's going to be But by the way, it's bigger than how much, Leo.
There's yeah, the possibility of a 250 uh million dollar fine, but all the properties owned by the organization could be taken over in conservatorship, Is my understanding.
In other words, they they won't even control their own their own properties.
And lastly, if I may add that the Trump, the Trump family will forever be banned, or at least for a number of years, be banned from ever doing business in New York State at all, ever again.
And again, it's a civil case.
Correct, Sean.
These are draconian rulings, but I guarantee you, this statute that Trump is being uh uh sued on.
How many times has it been used before?
Never.
Never.
This judge is going to set a precedent that is going to be reversed.
Look, I got 30 years of law in me.
And I can tell you right now, this does not follow the spirit of the law.
They're going to take everything this man has built up for the last 40, 50 years and take it away.
It's not going to happen.
It may it will make headline, but I guarantee it's going to be reversed.
And it has a negative effect as well to those who plan this trial.
They want to hurt President Trump.
You just mentioned the New York poll, the polls by New York Times.
He's going to become the next president.
And this is nothing more than a political kangaroo court that is backed by one last point.
The legal system in New York does not exist.
They're all Democrat.
You run as a political party member, as a Democrat.
They're all Democrats.
They have weaponized the legal system in New York.
If you're a Republican or if you're not part of the Democratic Party, you have no shot to get justice in New York.
With these polls that came out the this weekend showing Donald Trump leading significantly in five critical swing states.
And then demographically, when you break down any poll, you even see younger voters now.
Biden only has a one percentage point lead.
Biden's lead among Hispanic American voters is down a single digit.
And his advantage in urban areas is half of Trump's edge in rural regions.
Women still favor Biden.
Men prefer Trump by twice as large a margin.
And when you think of it and look at all of this through the prism of this guy's, you know, got four criminal trials coming during an election year.
And you're right, I think he'd have a better chance of justice on appeal in every one of those cases.
I don't believe he can get a fair trial in venues like New York or DC or Fulton County, Georgia.
That's my personal view.
So even with the arrests and the arraignment, he's winning dramatically.
Why?
Well, I'll tell you why.
Because people have rejected this attempt to go after Trump, Sean.
Oh, one other number you should point out.
He's pulling 22% of the black vote.
Historic.
Never in modern day politics has a Republican.
It's Trump.
It's not the Republican Party.
It is Trump because people are voting based on their pocketbook and they reject the Biden administration.
They remember when Trump was president and they had a good life.
Quality of life was better.
We were safe.
We were respected.
So that's why Biden is getting his butt kicked in these polls.
That's a Democratic poll.
So I'll tell you, Trump is not being hurt by these, by these witch hunt.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?

Do you now believe that the Democrats are going to move to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket?
I mean, I found Stacey Abrams' comments about Kamala Harris or criticisms of Kamala Harris saying they are linked to race and gender, and yet you can't ignore the racism and misogyny in our politics.
I'd play it, but I just don't have enough time.
But I mean, is this a preemptive strike that if Joe gets out, it better be Kamala?
Is it gonna be, you know, a battle within the democratic ranks?
Because I gotta imagine, you know, guys like Pritzker and and Gavin Newsom are probably probably have their eyes on the White House, no?
You're 100% correct.
Let me tell you right now.
Uh the the the Stacey Abram Kamala Harris comments about the race card.
I got news for you.
She's not qualified to be vice president.
How in the world can she be qualified to be president?
She got that position because she was a woman and because she was uh because of her skin color.
And right now, Gavin Newsom is running a shadow campaign.
Let me give you my opinion.
Joe Biden is not gonna be on the ballot in November.
It's gonna be either that guy in California, my horrible governor, or some other Democrat who is just salivating to jump in this race.
Kamala Harris does not have a foothold or a right to run for president.
She may run, but her is she's going to fail like her calf like her president.
So does this debate that kind of came up organically between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis on November the 30th, that yours truly will be the moderator of.
Does this take on a new level of importance?
Let me think about that.
Yes, and you better do a darn good job of having a lot of video and footage about how California is.
And you have to by the way, I'm getting Glenda, are you listening to Leo lecture and yell at me?
I don't argue with Leo.
I'm I'm going to prepare about 50 legal questions that you forced Gavin Newsom say yes or no.
Yes or no.
Yes or no.
Yes.
This you you have a tremendous amount of pressure on you, Sean, to hold that guy's feet to the fire.
And don't worry about his air.
Get answer.
It's actually I'm not the one that that's debating.
The guy that's debating is Governor DeSantis.
And I'm I I have this is supposed to be a state versus state debate.
But when you think about it, all of these issues, you know, for example, immigration, mass exodus, sanctuary state versus securing our borders, law and order versus defund dismantle, energy policies.
I mean, there's such stark differences between the state of Florida and the state of California.
Uh, taxes, for example, 13.5% state income tax in your state versus zero in Florida, and then we'll look at all the other costs uh and and taxes, et cetera.
There's a lot of issues here.
You got a lot to talk about.
You gotta use that that that debate in a manner that g educates the American public that Gavin Newsom is a fraud.
I live in his state.
He is a fraud.
He is a sham, and all he does is deflect and play smoke and mirror.
That's a powerful, powerful debate because I tell you, Sean, Joe Biden is not going to be on the ballot in November 2024.
David Axaraugh has thrown him under the bus already.
They're looking for they're recruiting other Democrats to run.
It's gonna be Trump.
Trump is gonna win the nomination and win the White House, but the Democrats are gonna throw Joe Biden under the bus.
If he's thrown under the bus, who takes his place, in your view, if you had to guess today.
Who takes his place?
Oh, in my opinion, uh, it's gonna be I I I don't have one.
People think it's gonna be Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom will not win South Carolina.
Gavin Newsom will not win the primary state.
If if some of these guys who have run in the previous previous uh term.
No, I just don't have a I don't have a toe hope but it's not Gavin Newsom.
No Democrat from California has ever become president.
Gavin Newsom has no chance.
Well, actually, that's not true.
Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.
Oh, Democrat, okay.
I stay I stand corrected.
Boy, don't get on the wrong side of Leo.
No Leo 2.0 Toreau, we love you, my friend.
Thank you for being with us.
I toll free.
There's so many interesting questions evolving here.
It's getting interesting.

The level of just outright freak out and panic among Democrats over this new polling showing that, what, ABC poll showing 76% of Americans believe the country is going in the wrong direction.
Uh that's Rick Klein who made that statement.
I'll play it in a second.
Jonathan Carl saying these polls are a wake-up call for Democrats.
And anybody that fears what a return to the Trump presidency would mean.
Uh David Axelrod basically saying to Joe, get out.
Biden has to do a check and ask if running again is the right thing to do.
And uh Congresswoman Jaya Powell uh saying Biden is uh in great trouble for the 2024 election because of the Hamas war.
Part of the squad.
I guess he's not supporting the terrorists that killed 1,400 innocent Israelis enough.
Let me play these for you.
It just gives you a texture, a feel for how panic Democrats and their allies and the media mob really are.
Political director Rick Klein is here to break down the results.
And Rick, the poll confirms we've been seeing voters in a sour mood.
Yeah, George, voters are just plain frustrated across the board.
Seventy-six percent of adults in this fall say the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Only 23%, less than a quarter of the country say that we're headed on the right track.
And the issues that are animating voters' frustration, it's almost Unspeakably vast and broad economy, 74% of Americans say it's very important to them personally.
69% say the same about inflation.
Those are issues in our poll that tend to favor Republicans.
Voters say they trust Republicans more than Democrats on those issues.
Other issues, including health care, abortion rights a little bit lower on the priority list, but at least now tend to more favor Democrats.
New York Times has a poll out this morning showing the Don Trump is leading in five out of the six big battleground states.
Now presidents have come back in the past, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, but this is tough news for Joe Biden.
Look, this is a wake-up call.
This is frightening for not just the Biden White House, not just for Democrats, but for anybody who fears what a return to a Trump presidency would mean.
He can win.
The New York Times poll is not the first one to say this.
He can win.
It is early.
And the biggest challenge for Biden is it's not just that people have suddenly fallen in love with the idea of Trump going back to the White House.
They haven't.
It's that only 23% of the country in our poll thinks the country is on the right track.
I mean, it's just incredible.
I don't think that voters have come to terms with what he is talking about doing.
He is talking about a campaign of revenge and retribution.
There was a fascinating story that is consistent with my reporting in the Washington Post talking about how he wants to go out and prosecute his political opponents, not just Democrats, but people that served him.
John Kelly, his former chief of staff, Mattis, his former defense secretary, Bill Barr, his uh former attorney general.
Are are voters really ready to sign up for that?
He's talking about invoking the insurrection act on day one, using American troops on the streets of U.S. cities, something he tried to do uh when he was president last time, but was stopped by his own people.
This would be a very radical Trump presidency, much more so than even the first one.
As I've said for like a couple of years now, the issue is not uh for him is is not uh political, it's actuarial.
And you can see that in this poll.
I mean, there's just a lot of concern about the age issue.
And uh and that is something that I think he needs to uh ponder, just do a check and say, is this the right thing uh to do?
So he just has to ask himself is is you know uh is this the best path?
Uh I suspect that he will say yes.
Um but time is fleeting here, and this is probably the last moment uh for him to do that check, and it's it's it's probably good if he does.
I mean, it's palpable.
They're they're scared to death.
And by the way, Donald Trump was on the stand today.
Donald Trump has been indicted four times.
They they are in a full complete panic.
Very interesting to watch this all unfold.
All right, before we get to our phones, who is there for families left behind when a service member or a first responder dies or is catastrophically injured in the line of duty?
Who's helping our nation's homeless vets?
Who's helping our nation to keep their vow never to forget 91101?
Well, that's the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Now they have their in the line of duty programs.
They honor our nation's heroes and their families, including Gold Star and Fall and First Responder families.
They have their smart home and homeless veterans programs.
The foundation's never forget programs, engage people in 9-11 remembrances all across the country.
They have over 80 runs and walks and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings, tons of barbecues, and of course the 9-11 Institute with the Tunnel to Towers educating kids K through 12 about our nation's darkest day.
And by the way, the only way that they can continue this great work is through your generosity, and we hope you will join all of us here at Team Hannity and commit to 11 dollars a month.
If everyone listening to my voice right now can commit to 11 bucks a month, every every part of their mission could be fulfilled, which is to help helping all those heroes that we cannot forget about.
Anyway, their website is the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All right.
It is a swing state.
It is called Arizona.
Mike is standing by.
Mike, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
I'm doing well.
Thank you for taking my call, Henry.
Um, I just I I see the Democrats kind of straddling a line.
And they got one foot basically on the side of Israel.
They got the other side on the side of the Palestinians.
Now the Palestinian people, I'm sure that there's a lot of great Palestinian people out there, you know.
Um but when they're talking about Hamas, they're they're they're kind of straddling a line to where coming up in election year, they don't want to go too far one way or too far the other way.
They're more than straddling a line here.
They they've have a radical caucus that is putting enormous pressure on the Biden administration.
They don't want the that basically has been taking the side they did he of the radical terrorists that killed innocent Americans, uh it innocent Israelis and Americans, by the way, and took all these pieces pe people hostage.
You know, Obama appearing, you know, he's he tries to create this moral equivalency that does not exist by saying Israel and the terrorists behind the curtain, you know.
It it it it this is not there's no ambiguity here.
One side is the terrorist side and the other side was the innocent victim here, and the innocent victim now needs to defend their very existence.
That's where we are with this.
Right.
And bottom line is the the people that voted them into the office, um, it appears as though they actually hate them.
I mean, being that um, you know, uh the Jewish population, you know, typically votes democrat.
And in that aspect, you know, they're they actually it's almost as if they they hate the people who voted for them.
Well, I don't know if they hate or whatever.
I'm just telling you that this is to me, this is not a quandary.
This is not a dilemma.
You know, for example, when we were attacked on nine eleven oh one, is there enough moral clarity and agreement and moral moral clarity that we were attacked by radical Islamists and that we lost, you know, two thousand nine hundred and seventy seven of our fellow Americans that day?
Is there is there any ambiguity about what happened that day?
No.
Well, equally there is no ambiguity about what happened on October seventh in Israel.
None.
Correct.
Right.
And and that you have this group of people, not just Hamas, Islamic jihad in Gaza to the s to the south, but in the north, you got Hezbollah, uh, and Lebanon, and you got the Houthi rebels, and you got Syria.
You got all of this being stoked by the proxy wars being fought by Iran, and they are now against and they've basically been declaring war against Israel.
Hey, look, as evidenced by tens and tens of thousands of rockets that have been fired into Israeli cities now going on for decades.
And this network of terror tunnels has been built out over time and there's over three hundred miles of them.
And the net result of this has to be that Hamas and Islamic jihad can no longer use Gaza as their staging area to fire rockets into Israel.
Hezbollah could no longer use Lebanon as their staging area to fire missiles into Israel, and that Israel must defeat its enemies here.
And America should have the moral clarity to be on the side of the victim.
The victim here, the victim of radical Islamic terrorism is Israel.
They are the victims in all of this.
So but the Democratic Party, they're they're they're warring within themselves and they don't know what to do.
They're like tied up in knots.
Anyway, appreciate the call, Mike.
Uh Marvin South Carolina, what's up, Marvin?
How are you?
Hey, hey, Sean, I got uh a couple of quick points and then uh really a question for you, and it's uh pertaining to Hunter Biden and this op ed that he put out last week.
You know, Sean, uh it's been well reported.
Now they don't have a hundred percent of the facts because a lot of the stuff has been shoveled in paper and put in drawers or whatever.
But uh the the Biden, the the the children and even now the grandchildren, they have been protected ever ever since they were children, all through school, high school, whatever.
They they've they're they're constantly being given a pass on all these different little things that they do wrong.
Then me and you would either been expelled from school, kicked out of school, or put in jail for with as as as as we were, you know, in our early teens, early twenties.
So so there's there's a ton of things that the Bidens have been protected from or gotten away with.
But this this op-ed that that Hunter put out says that you know, he's really just being picked on and this gun charge, there's no no one in Delaware's ever been charged with that before.
I totally disagree with that.
And I don't have 100% of the facts to say that, but I find that ludicrous.
There's gun charges all over the United States and every single state of the Union.
And and and I I cannot believe that Delaware has never put one of them out there.
But then and then and then did this judge that you you know kind of stepped in on that little deal he was trying to make with the the Justice Department.
Sean, one of her uh guidelines was that he was supposed to be drug tested.
Well just a few weeks after that they found the cocaine in the White House.
Has he ever been drug tested?
When he went back to court to try to I don't know the answer to that, but I can tell you this.
All these members are now the next step in this investigation.
We're getting very close to the next step, which is to subpoena every Biden family member.
Every one of them that would be Jim Biden, that would be Joe Biden, that would be Hunter Biden, and that would be all of their, I guess grandchildren as well, that got paid and benefited financially with money, you know, shoved into their bank accounts from these shell corporations.
And they've got a lot to answer for.
This is probably the biggest slam dunk case I've ever seen.
And meanwhile, you know, we see this farce of a trial going on in New York with a judge.
You know, the whole basis of the allegation is that Donald Trump and applications, uh, which no lender or no insurance company should even be paying attention to, their own estimates of or the worth of their properties.
You know, but yet the judge is sticking to this idiotic idea that Mar a Lago is worth 18 million, 20 acres of prime property in Palm Beach, where uh a two-acre lot on the ocean is two hundred million dollars.
It's it's a joke, it's a farce.
This this is not justice in America.
The the judge said that Trump was guilty before the trial even got started.
Correct.
Summary judgment.
Look, the best thing that Trump can do is get it out of this courtroom.
The guy will drop the hammer on him and then get it to an appeals court.
I I I've got to hope that there's at least one fair judge that they'll run into that sees this for what it is.
Oh, I wouldn't count on it.
So I hope there is, but again, I I I have zero confidence in it.
I don't have a lot of confidence either.
Marvin, appreciate it, man.
Uh 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
800, 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh we'll stay in South Carolina.
Andrew is next.
Andrew, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Good afternoon, Sean.
How are you doing, sir?
I'm good.
Glad you called.
Oh, I appreciate you taking my call.
Um, yeah, if um if Mar Lago is really worth eighteen uh million bucks, then sign me up.
I would gladly take it.
I mean, I may not have eighteen hundred dollars, but I mean something I would still consider.
Uh let me tell you probably any bank that did their due diligence and and would know that it's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, they probably want to be your partner, and if you can get the deal done, they'd give you the money.
Uh, I wouldn't bet.
Uh anyway, the call the reason I called was uh I was gonna comment on two things.
First one was uh from the hearing with Mayorcus and Senator Johnson.
I'm uh actually a little disappointed that Senator Johnson didn't tell Mayorcus when Mayorquis was uh saying um um uh Congress needs to uh um do do their job.
When uh Sarah Johnson should uh I would think that he should have said uh no uh sec, Mr. Secretary, we did her job.
Uh we've already made illegal immigration illegal.
Uh last time I checked 18, it's uh 18 USD 1325.
Uh so you guys just need to uh go out there and and actually enforce the law.
Well, uh yeah, I think that's a big part of it.
They haven't they they have not done so.
And you would think that if any of us, any of you listening to this program, I can promise you if you went down to our southern border and you picked somebody up at the border and you knew they were here illegally and you started transporting them to one of forty-three states or or forty-three cities, and you got caught, I promise you'd spend time in jail for human trafficking.
And that's exactly what has been institutionalized by your president who is not enforcing the laws of the land, not upholding his oath of office, and and he's gotten away with it up to this point, and frankly, he'll probably get away with it all through the rest of his term.
And if God forbid if he ever won again, probably would continue right on down that road, and we'd have twenty, twenty-five million illegal immigrants in this country that we have not vetted, and that is a clear and present danger, national security danger to our country.
Yeah, it's very interesting, uh, which brings up my second point.
Uh, when Senator uh Scott was saying on your program on Friday night um that California is apparently or LA is letting uh illegal immigrants voting um in local elections.
You know, I seem to remember that during the 2020 elections that Democrats didn't like uh foreign interference in our election.
If having illegal immigrants voting in local elections isn't foreign in our in our elections, then I don't know what is.
Well, I'm gonna tell you something.
There's gonna be one hell of a year coming up.
I hope everybody rests up over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
You're gonna you're gonna need the rest.
It's gonna be an emotional roller coaster.
Buckle up.
This ride's gonna be rough.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
