| Our number is 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program this Friday. | |
| They took it hook line and sinker. | |
| I guess it got started by Punch Bowl News founder Jake Sherman posting on X about an alleged comment that Donald Trump made during this closed door meeting with House Republicans on Capitol Hill yesterday. | |
| And he was talking about Milwaukee where the Republican National Convention is, where we will be, and said it's a horrible city. | |
| Anyway, that's what he quoted Trump as saying. | |
| Media was not present for the meeting. | |
| I asked Mike Johnson last night. | |
| He said I was standing right next to him. | |
| That's that's he never said it. | |
| However, anyway, he did not attribute the comment to any source, even an anonymous one. | |
| Uh people from the likes of Congressman Jim Banks, who we know, a friend of the show, slammed the report as false. | |
| I was in the meeting. | |
| He never disparaged Milwaukee. | |
| Uh other representatives said the same thing. | |
| Uh we're going to talk to one in just a second. | |
| Brian uh Style from Wisconsin's first district absolutely says I was in the room and he did not say it. | |
| And there's no better place than Wisconsin in July, he went on to say. | |
| Representative Derek Van Orden of Wisconsin said that tweet of Sherman, another classic example of Adam Schiffey reporting under the Democratic uh Party and their shills pretending to be journalists. | |
| And it goes, I can just keep going on and on and on. | |
| Now, Donald Trump did talk about high crime areas and did mention Milwaukee as one of them. | |
| Uh and if you look at the statistics, he's a thousand percent correct. | |
| Milwaukee ranks within the top three for the largest cities with the highest violent crime rate. | |
| And that information is pulled directly from FBI data among the largest cities, Milwaukee's number three for murder, aggravated assault, and for robbery. | |
| The number one state, by the way, is California. | |
| This is not unlike national trend trends that you know we see. | |
| You know, we saw the crime surge in the summer of 2020, and then crime up again under Joe Biden in 2021. | |
| Murder rates up nearly 50% in a decade in Milwaukee. | |
| I mean, it's not good. | |
| And it's sad because we do know how to we do know how to stop violent crime. | |
| You know, 2022, the latest year we have full statistics, but anyway, in Milwaukee, it's 2.7 times greater their violent crime rate than the U.S. average. | |
| And it was higher than 98.6% of all other U.S. cities. | |
| And the crime rate, you know, is not good. | |
| I mean, if you look at, for example, how dangerous it can be compared to the nearest cities, you know, West Milwaukee, you know, it's it's 1,085.1. | |
| I assume per 100,000. | |
| Uh if you look at other areas, it's it's nowhere near as high. | |
| You know, the the highest one is West Allis. | |
| Anyway, so uh it didn't happen, but that didn't stop the Democratic mayor of Milwaukee from hitting back at Donald Trump, who didn't say it. | |
| But listen. | |
| Well, Donald Trump was talking about things that he thinks are horrible. | |
| Uh all of us live through his presidency, so right back at you, buddy. | |
| Uh I'd say that. | |
| Um look, uh, obviously Donald Trump is wrong about something yet again. | |
| Uh I find it kind of perplexing. | |
| I find it kind of strange that uh he would insult the largest city in Wisconsin because he's running for president. | |
| He obviously wants to win Wisconsin, we'll win the election. | |
| Um, and so to insult the state that's hosting your convention, I think is kind of kind of bizarre, actually. | |
| It's kind of unhinged uh in a way. | |
| Um, especially considering the fact that you know in Milwaukee, there are about 50,000 Republicans who live right here in the city. | |
| So you're calling their home horrible. | |
| I mean, I don't quite understand that. | |
| Oh, you don't quite understand it. | |
| Why haven't you done a better job as mayor to keep the people in your city in your st of your state safe and secure? | |
| Why haven't you restored law and order? | |
| Which is the better question. | |
| Anyway, Congressman Brian Steil from Wisconsin's first district uh joins us. | |
| Uh okay, so how did this lie get expanded on? | |
| And and did the president say it or not say it. | |
| Mike Johnson told me last night absolutely he did not. | |
| President Trump did not disparage the city of Milwaukee. | |
| I was in the room. | |
| I did not hear him say it. | |
| I said he didn't say it. | |
| But what we did talk about is how big Democrat liberal cities across the country, Milwaukee included, have horrible policies that are hurting the people that live there. | |
| As you correctly noted, the crime in Milwaukee is way too high. | |
| It was just yesterday that a nine-year-old boy was shot and killed on the north side. | |
| We can look at how the elections are actually administered. | |
| The city of Milwaukee had to replace our elections leader just the other day. | |
| And you can look at what's going on in the Milwaukee public school system. | |
| The same challenges that are being faced in big blue cities across the country are the result of democratic policies, and those policies are horrible. | |
| The president, though, did not disparage the city of Milwaukee. | |
| I mean, that seems to be the main thing. | |
| I mean, all of these blue cities and blue states with the highest crime and murder rates and and and violent crime rates, uh, why don't they ever lift a finger? | |
| Like, for example, going back to 2009, Barack Obama's home city, hometown, Chicago. | |
| Uh once I realized he wasn't he that he mentioned, I think the violence in Chicago maybe twice during his presidency, and it was bewildering to me. | |
| Because on any given weekend you could predict with a certain degree of of with a degree of certainty how many people will be shot, how many people will be shot and killed, and then I would scroll the names of all these people whose names we names we've never heard of before that were shot and shot and killed on any given weekend or any period of time. | |
| These are not names house, they're not household names, it's not George Floyd, and nobody seems to give a damn. | |
| And I gotta tell you something. | |
| It's sad because those lives matter, Congressman, and yet they don't lift a finger to stop the violence in Chicago. | |
| And seemingly, this guy, this mayor's not lifting a finger, and politicians in Milwaukee are not lifting a finger to restore law and order and safety and security for the people of Milwaukee that deserve it. | |
| It's the democratic policies that are causing the problem in the first place. | |
| That's why they don't want to talk about it. | |
| It's the same Democrats that stood up and said we need to defund police. | |
| And as the data comes in, it's very clear. | |
| Once you disparage your law enforcement and you defund law enforcement across the country, what you get is rising crime. | |
| What they don't want to do is have to talk about how their policies are actually hurting the people who live in their cities. | |
| But the mainstream media will cover for them, try to distract, just as they're doing about comments that President Trump made. | |
| They'll do anything they can to avoid talking about the challenges that they face and the policy solutions that actually Republicans and conservatives have to actually address this from funding law enforcement and enforcing the law to school choice. | |
| Do the people of Milwaukee, do you think they now fully uh know and understand that this is a lie that their mayor is telling them and the Democrats have been telling about Donald Trump saying Milwaukee's a horrible city? | |
| Uh are they now maybe turning the question on the elected officials in Milwaukee and asking why are our schools, you know, below par? | |
| Why don't we have why do we why do we have such a violent crime rate in this city and what are you going to do to fix it? | |
| Is is that now maybe jumpstarted a real discussion? | |
| Yeah, I don't think anybody's surprised that there's media that wants to twist the words of President Trump. | |
| The good news for everybody in Wisconsin is President Trump's coming to Racine, Wisconsin, about 25 miles south of Milwaukee on Tuesday, where they can hear the president in full context talk about the challenges that we face, the challenges we face in Milwaukee of crime of the school district, of the election administrator that had to be replaced. | |
| And they actually hear about how we can get our country back on track. | |
| And so people are far better served to come and listen directly to President Trump. | |
| And that's the beauty of him taking this on the road and going and talking directly to the American people, unfiltered by the mainstream media. | |
| Well, we appreciate you setting the record straight for us, Congressman. | |
| And uh I look I actually look forward to being in Milwaukee. | |
| Uh I'll be there for the Republican National Convention. | |
| I'll be in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention. | |
| Uh I'm not expecting a warm welcome uh in in Chicago in particular. | |
| I expect a better welcome in in Wisconsin, to be honest. | |
| I love the people of Wisconsin, but Milwaukee is a pretty liberal city. | |
| Uh what do you you know? | |
| We'll we'll see what happens, but uh hopefully we'll get to see you at the convention. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Mark Milwaukee is a liberal city, but let me tell you, when people come and see Wisconsin in July, you're gonna realize what a great state it is. | |
| I think the whole nation uh will actually see what a great place uh the state of Wisconsin is. | |
| Yeah, listen, looking forward to it. | |
| Here we go with just uh a mere what uh 143 days away from election day, 95 days till our early voting starts in Pennsylvania. | |
| Uh thank you, sir. | |
| Appreciate it, Congressman. | |
| 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Ohio John is next on the Sean Hannity show. | |
| John, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| I'm doing absolutely okay, Sean, and thank you for what you do and for being here. | |
| Um Thank you for giving me the opportunity. | |
| What's on your mind? | |
| Yeah, Michelle Obama's name has been tossed around, I know a lot. | |
| And name recognition is the number one thing, I think, in any presidential uh election, and they want to get rid of Biden and Harris. | |
| So my theory or prediction is that Michelle Obama could be brought in, but this is only temporarily. | |
| And then she could uh resign in stay for three, four months, and her VP would be come up to be the president, which could be Newsom, maybe Hakeem Jeffries. | |
| And um, you know, she would resign and bring them up to up to there. | |
| So that what would that how would that change the you know the polls immediately? | |
| That would have to really uh change the polls for you know for the whole election, having having heard look a lot of people have been speculating, and as Joe's cognitive state continues to deteriorate, I guess it gets louder. | |
| Um we're hearing Democrats now in a full state of panic. | |
| I think the person that is has been the loudest in expressing the concern about this is James Carville. | |
| And do I put it past the Democrats to do a last minute switcheroo? | |
| No, I do not. | |
| Uh do I think that Michelle Obama would do it? | |
| I really don't think it's gonna be her, but I guess anything is possible. | |
| You gotta hold out the possibility of anything. | |
| I think the more likely choice would be Vice President Harris, although and I think any effort to maybe jump over uh her and replace her with either Gavin or or Gretchen Whitmer uh would be met with fierce resistance. | |
| But I I so far uh barring a disaster 13 days from now in a debate or a a one maybe is one fall away from not being on the ticket, uh you just gotta assume that it's gonna be Biden and Harris. | |
| And if that's the case, you know, I think that uh I I like our chances, to be honest with you. | |
| Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend. | |
| 800 941 Shawn is a number if you want to be a part of the program. | |

| Let's get to our busy phones as we continue this Friday. | |
| Steve is in Colorado next on the Sean Hannity show. | |
| Steve, hi, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Thank you, Sean. | |
| Hey, I have a question on the Trump trial. | |
| When Michael uh uh Cohen, Cohen, um admitted in an open court that he stole money from Trump. | |
| Shouldn't a judge have thrown him at thrown him out at the very least. | |
| Well, I mean, I think it's up to the defense, and I think the defense did a good job, frankly, of gutting him and and pointing out that he's not somebody that can be trusted. | |
| And uh, do I think that the issue honestly? | |
| I I think the issue of of Michael Cohn, I I thought he exonerated Donald Trump when he said that he had told many people that he did all of this on his own without Donald Trump's support. | |
| But there was nothing illegal about a non-disclosure agreement anyway. | |
| They happen every day. | |
| I'd bet any amount of money that the DA's office in New York City has probably over the years dozens, if not hundreds of them. | |
| And so it's a very common practice. | |
| And if he claims he did it on his own, that should have ended everything. | |
| But again, it was supposed to be about a bookkeeping error as a means of deception. | |
| It wasn't even it wasn't even deducted from the taxes, and it was labeled the legal expense, and Michael Cohn was the lawyer for Donald Trump, so tell me why there was a problem. | |
| It was eight years old, the statute of limitations on a misdemeanor had run out, and just to get Trump and fulfill a campaign promise, Alvin Bragg upcharged it to a uh a federal elections felony, and yet a judge that is is so far beyond abusively biased that you know that that that's how we found ourselves in the situation we found ourselves in. | |
| So he raised great points, but you know, uh by the way, why hasn't Michael Cohn been charged by that office when he admitted to stealing the money from the Trump organization? | |
| That was gonna be his comment to you was why hasn't he been charged? | |
| Great point. | |
| Great question. | |
| But but I've got to mention one thing before you let me go. | |
| I think you are right on your evening show. | |
| I listen to you every night as I'm driving a truck across this country, and I you are 100% right that in and out burgers should definitely come to Florida. | |
| In and out burger to Florida. | |
| Um I'm gonna start a campaign. | |
| I think Ron DeSantis, the governor, wanted to swear me in as a volunteer chamber of commerce member that night and task me with that mission. | |
| Uh, you know, at one point I remember that In N Out had said that they weren't gonna go east of Texas. | |
| Well, apparently they're opening a number of locations and an office in na in Franklin, Tennessee. | |
| And if if they can go to Tennessee, I uh Florida's not that far away. | |
| They'd do great down here. | |
| I'd invest whatever amount of money they ever wanted, because it's such a great product. | |
| Anyway, thank you. | |
| Appreciate the call, my friend, and be careful when you're driving over the road and thank you for what you do every day. | |
| All right, quick break, right back, we'll continue. | |
| Um, you know, one thing we haven't spent enough time doing, and we are trying to make up for it is follow some of these Senate races. | |
| One of one phenomenon that has kind of emerged uh even in swing states, is that Donald Trump is outperforming both congressional candidates and Senate candidates, and it remember if Donald Trump wins and he's in the we have a a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, that does not help us. | |
| Now another phenomenon that has emerged is in the state of Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, just like the state of Minnesota, and you see these polls that have come out that show Donald Trump actually tied with Joe Biden, which means those states are in play. | |
| Had a conversation with Glenn Youncan, the governor of Virginia recently this week. | |
| Uh There's a very impressive Senate candidate. | |
| Actually, it was Linda who brought him to my attention. | |
| Uh Hung Cow is his name, and his background is pretty impressive impressive. | |
| He commissioned as a special ops officer, uh, explosive ordnance disposal and deep sea diving, not exactly easy work uh for the U.S. uh Naval Academy, served with special ops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia. | |
| His non-combat assignments include included balancing the Navy's hundred and forty billion dollar budget at the uh Pentagon and working with Homeland Security, the FBI joint terrorism task force. | |
| And anyway, he's got such incredible academic credentials, a master's in physics from the Naval Postgraduate School, fellowships at MIT and Harvard. | |
| I mean, really impressive. | |
| And he's got good values, and he's running for the U.S. Senate in the state of Virginia. | |
| And uh well, anyway, Mr. Cow, thank you so much for joining us. | |
| Great to have you on the program. | |
| And it looks like you've had a very boring, slow and meandering life when and a lot of time on your hands. | |
| Sean, thank you so much for having me. | |
| It's such an honor. | |
| Look, I I came here as a refugee from Vietnam, you know, and this country gave me everything, and I grabbed onto that American dream. | |
| But you know what? | |
| I paid back every dime with my service to this country uh because I love it so much. | |
| Well, I love the fact that you love our country. | |
| Is Virginia real? | |
| Are these polls in Virginia real in your view? | |
| Yes, absolutely. | |
| Seven polls now are showing that Joe Biden and uh President Trump are you know basically dead even. | |
| Not only that, the guy I'm going against, Tim Kane, is at 43%, and you know anybody below 50% as an incumbent is in deep trouble. | |
| Well, he's got a guy that I'd love to see go, and I'd love to see you win this race. | |
| Uh, tell me what's happened in Virginia. | |
| Why are these polls so consistent? | |
| I mean, I I we did cover Glenn Youncan's victory, and we we followed it closely because the polls did indicate he had a chance to win, and then he ended up running away with the race. | |
| But I've always worried that Virginia, you know, with Northern Virginia and all the people that work in in DC that live there, uh it just it just basically kind of put cinder blocks on the on the on the election scales in the Democrats' favor of me, is that not the case anymore? | |
| Well, I mean, people are just mad. | |
| I mean, they they can't afford food uh to put on the table, they can't afford a house, they can't afford to fill up their gas tanks. | |
| Now, when I retired in 2021, because after I left Afghanistan in January, six months later, Joe Biden caused the whole country to fall apart. | |
| And watching mothers hand babies to Marines, I mean, that's just like Vietnam all over again. | |
| So I said I couldn't do this anymore. | |
| So I ran for U.S. Congress in the 10th Congressional District, which includes Loudoun County. | |
| And I didn't win, but I moved that needle 13%, Sean, from a Joe Biden plus 19 down to 6%. | |
| So I don't have to win Northern Virginia. | |
| I just need to move the needle like I did in 22. | |
| And when the South comes out for us, we've already won this race by three points. | |
| Well, I'd love to see that happen, and I think we we definitely have a good shot there. | |
| Um tell me what's going on in the ground in Virginia, because if Virginia was a purple state, and I thought it was leading more blue until Glenn Yunkin won. | |
| If it's a purple state, and now it's it's trending back Republican, there's got to be reasons. | |
| I would imagine it's immigration, I would imagine it's law and order. | |
| I would imagine it's the Biden economy. | |
| I would imagine it's Joe Biden's cognitive state. | |
| I would imagine that people are not particularly happy with the state of the world with war in Europe and war in the Middle East and a president that surrendered in the war against radical Islamic terrorism. | |
| And I'd imagine that it's a lot of bread and butter issues, and that people are concerned about the future of this country and the and the state of the world. | |
| It's really that simple. | |
| It really is. | |
| Look, under Donald Trump, you know, when I went into Pentagon in 2016, I was counting every missile, every bomb, every torpedo for imminent war on North Korea. | |
| He came in and somehow he thwarted that and physically walked into North Korea. | |
| And then at the end of his administration, you know, he we brought peace to the Middle East for the first time in my adult life to the Abraham Accords. | |
| So under Donald Trump, it was our economy that was on fire. | |
| Now, under Joe Biden, the world's on fire, not just the world, but also our border. | |
| We had millions of illegal immigrants coming across here. | |
| We're paying a billion dollars a day for these guys. | |
| And without a border, every state is a border state, every city is a sanctuary city, and they bring in all these things. | |
| And as a legal immigrant to this country, Sean, I'm telling you, don't ask for the American dream if you're not willing to obey the American laws and embrace the American culture. | |
| Because I did. | |
| I love this country so much. | |
| I wrote a blank check to this nation, up to and including my life because I love it so much. | |
| What do you make of three incidences that now have unfolded this week? | |
| One is this Russian nuclear submarine that finally arrived in in Cuba on Wednesday morning. | |
| This is again a nuclear sub with hypersonic capability, according to reports. | |
| Uh to me, it's like you know, if that's not as close to a Cuban missile crisis, I don't know what is, and the media's ignored it. | |
| Biden's ignored it. | |
| Uh what do you make of China taunting America that the U.S. would definitely lose a drone war? | |
| What do you make of which what I think is another huge epic Biden failure as reported in the Wall Street Journal? | |
| And that is that Saudi Arabia ended the eighty year petrodollar deal that they had with the United States. | |
| And what's sad about this is they'll they will now sell oil in multiple currencies on top of their decision, along with other no OPEC nations that they're gonna cut back and continue to cut back oil production to keep the price of energy high through 2025. | |
| What is your reaction to those incidences and Joe Biden seemingly ignoring all of them? | |
| Well, when there's a leadership voice, somebody's gonna fill it. | |
| So, yes, the the three frigates that carry hypersonic weapons, and so for your listeners, that's anything that goes above Mach 5, five times the speed of silence. | |
| We don't have any countermeasures for that, including a nuclear submarine out there. | |
| Uh and not only that, don't forget the balloon that came across, they were exploiting our internet uh and our laws because they were transmitting everything from our strategic sites to our internet. | |
| And in December, Chinese drones were flying over Langley Air Force Base, and it shut down F 22 flights for eight days. | |
| And we had the ability to jam it, but through SCC regulations, we couldn't because it's illegal to jam, you know, uh signals uh in our our homeland. | |
| However, they could have given an exception of the policy, an ETP. | |
| However, Tim Kane didn't do that. | |
| He's a senator from Virginia, and he just rolled over. | |
| And this is the problem is we have weakness in the White House. | |
| We have people that don't know what they're doing. | |
| This is why people like Donald Trump and myself need to get in there to get things right. | |
| You know, Donald Trump doesn't need to do this, right? | |
| He just he he's a he's a billionaire. | |
| I don't need to do this. | |
| I left a career of honor to do this because we both love this country so much. | |
| And this is what this is they're yearning for leadership right now, and this is why we're stepping up. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, I'm glad that you are. | |
| Uh, we're gonna continue to follow your race, and we wish you the best of luck. | |
| If there's anything we can do to help you, please let us know. | |
| If people want to learn more about you, how do they do that? | |
| Please go to hung for VA.com. | |
| That's H U N G F O R V A.com. | |
| If you can't vote for me, you know, I can vote for you because my my vote in the Senate will affect all Americans. | |
| And I just need ammunition. | |
| I'll fight every day. | |
| I've been shot at, I've been blown up. | |
| I just need ammunition, and that ammunition comes in the form of donations because I I need to get your voice out there. | |
| So, Sean, thank you so much for having me on. | |
| It's quite quite an honor. | |
| I've been listening to you for 30 years. | |
| Well, I really appreciate you being with us. | |
| We'll have you back again. | |
| This is an important state, important race, and if Virginia could swing red, it's gonna be a great uh election night, I'll tell you that. | |
| Uh uh, thank you, Hunkao. | |
| We appreciate it. | |
| We'll have you back soon. | |
| Thank you, Sean. | |
| 800 941 Sean is on number Michael, California on this Friday. | |
| Michael, how are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Hey, doing fine, Sean. | |
| Uh couldn't agree more with your uh previous guests. | |
| Um I'm a former Navy operations specialist, worked in a skiff, basically, CIC. | |
| And the day of the debates when they came out with that letter stating that 51 uh people thought it was Russian disinformation. | |
| I posted on Facebook that it had to be false, that they were lying, and here's the reason. | |
| Hollywood wants you to believe that anybody with a security clearance can take a look at anything. | |
| And that's simply not the way intelligence works. | |
| You have to be read into a situation in order to because you have a need to know to do your job. | |
| Me and you could be working in a uh combat information center. | |
| We could both have the same clearances. | |
| I could be told to work on something. | |
| I signed something out of the vault, set it on my desk, and I'm reading it. | |
| You walk up. | |
| I'm required by law to flip that upside down until you leave. | |
| Because you're not allowed to read it. | |
| Even though you have that's why I know Biden when he was a senator, that's why I knew that letter was false. | |
| Okay, because they were former intelligence people. | |
| They hadn't been read into it. | |
| And if I'd been Trump, I would have told them I don't care if you have a hundred people sign that letter. | |
| They're former intelligence. | |
| They don't have access to the information because they don't have a need to know to do their job. | |
| They had no access, they had no knowledge, they didn't examine the laptop. | |
| They were asked by Winken and organized by Wink and Tony Blinken. | |
| It was a political move on their part, and they did it because for one reason and one reason only. | |
| They were given talking points, they were fed to them, and they did it to help elect Joe Biden and mitigate what would have been probably a tipping point in that election in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. | |
| That's why they did it. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| And uh, in fact, uh, I posted that on Facebook. | |
| Facebook didn't just take it down, they actually broke the links so that you couldn't find it anywhere. | |
| And uh they didn't like what I'd said. | |
| And if you think about it, when he was a senator and he was taking all that information out of the skip, which he had no legal right to, should have been arrested back then, okay. | |
| But uh he took it out, and the reason he wanted those postings to those different states like Ukraine, China, and all that, was so he he could get access to the Intel for that area. | |
| That way he could access it. | |
| Okay. | |
| So my question is what did he do with it afterwards? | |
| You're raising great questions. | |
| I'd like to know too. | |
| If you want everything to change for the better, you got to we need a new president, we need a Republican House, we need a Republican Senate, we need real majorities. | |
| That's the way to make change happen in this country. | |
| You know, all the other solutions are fine and dandy, and and yes, people need to be held accountable, but at the end of the day, nobody's gonna be held accountable if we don't win this election. | |
| So that's that's where I'm focusing all of my attention right now, because that's the most important issue, I think, before the entire world and the entire country. | |
| Appreciate the call, my friend. | |
| Listen, you have a great weekend, and I didn't say this. | |
