If you want to be a part of the program, 132 days until Election Day, only 83 days until early voting begins in Pennsylvania and then, of course, rolls out to the rest of the country.
And yes, the most important, the first presidential debate will take place this Thursday night.
It's going to get very, very interesting for sure.
Now the big question is who shows up?
Jacked up, hyper caffeinated Joe, or Joe Biden, regular old cognitively, you know, dysfunction Joe, which we see every day.
Anyway, well, here's both Joes.
You decide.
And my administration is also eliminating title insurance on federally backed mortgages.
When you refinance your home, you can save $1,000 or more as a consequence.
Thanks for all the members of Congress, Home Security Secretary.
He's educated hundreds of students so they can go to college.
Now he's able to help after debt forgiveness get his own daughter to college.
And you know I think with a thing about I was just child package.
No child should go hungry in this country.
Our freedom can never be secured.
Wow.
Pretty unbelievable.
What a difference, right?
Uh then of course you have fake Jake and fake Dana Bash, and and we have been outlining just how radically hardcore liberal anti-Trump talk show hosts that they are the acclaim and masquerade as uh journalists.
Uh let's go back to fake Jake Tapper and and they have this habit.
It happened with Caroline Levitt yesterday.
We'll replay that, as well as Fake Jake cutting off Stephen Miller.
Listen.
The reason why I want to talk about the president's experiences, what I've seen with him traveling to meet dozens of foreign leaders with his incredible work.
Okay, you're not answering the questions.
You're not going to give three minutes for the American people together.
the real experience of Donald Trump.
There's one viewer that you care about right now, and you're being obsequious, you're being a factotum in order to please him, okay?
And I think I've wasted enough of my viewers.
You know who I can care about as Republicans' lawmakers going forward.
In a major reversal, Democrats are now coming to his defense.
What changed?
I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past.
Now, Caroline, thank you very much for your time.
You are welcome to come back at any point.
She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump and Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next early later this week in Atlanta for this debate.
Our thanks to Caroline.
And and you can come back at any time.
Why would anybody go back if you're not allowed to talk?
You can't make it up.
Anyway, joining us now are the polls polling experts, John and Jim McLaughlin with the McLaughlin group with us.
By the way, Jim, so nice you'd actually show up and show up on time.
I'm I'm amazed Every time that happens, which has been, you know, pretty sporadic over the years.
Linda's read me the riot act.
I'm never allowed to be late again.
I always have to be 20 minutes early.
It's about time.
I mean, it only took you how many years to get to get the message, get the memo.
Uh, but in all seriousness, all right.
Let me start with John and the issue of do we expect Jake jacked up hyper caffeinated Joe or the regularly cognitive dysfunctioning Joe?
Uh I think Dr. Ronnie Jackson said they're they're probably experimenting with dosing levels for all this this long period of time where he's hidden from the American people not doing his job as president.
Uh, that seems to make the most sense to me.
There seems like there should be no reason to reject a drug test if if you don't have a problem with the issue, uh, but they're resisting that at all costs.
I d I think you're right, uh, Sean, but you're gonna see the Joe Biden that we saw in the State of the Union.
He gave the most polarized divisive State of the Union speech uh that's ever been given.
Wait, wait a minute, but was that a speech?
He was screaming and racing.
You know, screaming, racing and yelling it.
He wouldn't even allow Speaker Johnson introduce him for crying out loud.
Right.
And and but it gave the media what they needed.
They needed enough Joe Biden that they could say, oh, what a great speech that was.
He really did wonderful.
I mean, I I wondered what speech they were watching.
But they're gonna, you know, Joe Biden set the terms for this.
We've never seen it where an incumbent president who's losing in the polls has challenged his opponent to this earlier debate.
That's how much trouble Joe Biden's in after he's tried him with the fake try, you know, case in New York.
And by the way, we have a new poll that we gave the uh Trump campaign today, where we asked them what should Jake Tapper and uh Dana Bash on CNN be asking President what about what issues asking the candidates uh for president on Thursday night.
And the number first and second choice combined, the number one answer was inflation high prices 49%, the border, economy and jobs 21%, Social Security Medicare 16.
I will bet you the next issue that the voters could care less about January 6th in democracy, which is only 15% combined, first and second questions.
I'll bet you that's what they asked right out of the box.
No, they're gonna let me tell you that the all the the all the questions they want to ask, and it may end up being more than half the debate.
Who won the 2020 election?
Uh why did you encourage violence and insurrection on January 6th?
Uh will you use your office for revenge and and retribution and be a dictator from for one day as you claim that you you did.
And uh oh, and then of course the abortion issue, which they're gonna want to fixate and focus on ad nauseum, uh, which they're even telegraphing, that's their main strategy.
So that's where I think that's all headed.
Yeah, that was only 12%, first and second choice combined.
But I think you're right.
And the American people, we want to hear how Joe Biden's gonna lower inflation, lower prices.
We want to hear how he's gonna secure the border and stop the crime wave that's that's hitting every every area in the country right now with these illegal immigrants and criminals, and they're worried about the economy, they're worried about jobs, and they're worried about their Social Security Medicare.
I mean, you know, the the voters want to talk about the issues that favor Donald Trump, and we'll see what uh Dana Bash and Jake Tapper actually ask.
But uh, but uh, you know, you and I could conjecture right now that it's gonna be different.
I I think you were right on with your list there.
I think I am as well.
Jim, what say you, sir?
You know, it's funny because you were the guy, Sean, that came up with the whole term about Joe being jacked up.
By the way, thank you for somebody for giving me credit.
I said it immediately.
I was on right after the State of the Union.
It was the first words that came out of my mouth.
Oh, Sean, you took the words out of my mouth.
Because both the you and I, back in the day, we used to work in in bars and restaurants and whatnot.
They would tell you to look out for people that were acting like that.
Because you knew there was something wrong.
They were on something and they the restaurant or the bar, they didn't want to be responsible for it.
And your points, by the way, are exactly right.
So many in the media were using that term.
He came out as fiery and feisty.
They got those talking points from the White House, from literally from the Biden campaign.
And the truth of the matter was we actually did some research with people that actually watched the debate.
Joe Biden got no bump out of it, and a lot of people were turned off by it because exactly what John was just talking about.
Remember when he was running for president back in 2020?
He told us he was going to bring the country together.
He was going to be a uniter.
But unfortunately, he's been the most divisive president that we've ever seen.
And the American people have real problems.
Going back to the issues.
These aren't our numbers.
This is from a one of the latest CBS news polls.
What are the voters saying they're going to decide their uh their vote on for president?
It's the economy, inflation.
Three-quarters of the voters telling us inflation.
They're telling us crime, the border.
And you know what was at the bottom of the list?
The Trump convictions.
Why?
Because we see in our surveys, two-thirds of voters say that they're uh politically motivated, and nearly six out of ten voters are telling us Joe Biden is behind the actual, you know, these convictions.
They know it.
The American people are way smarter than Joe Biden and the Democrats give him credit for.
If Dr. Jackson is right and they're working on the exact dose, uh that's that's a very tricky thing.
You know, one one thing that really fascinates me, John, is that we never saw Jack Dub Joe prior to the State of the Union, and we haven't seen him since.
Uh and that tells me that maybe w however much Red Bull or whatever they gave this guy um probably is not good for his health.
Um maybe maybe they're looking for that perfect dose level.
But the one thing he had at the State of the Union that he's not gonna have in front of him at this debate is a teleprompter.
And that means regardless of however much Red Bull or whatever they're giving him he takes, he's still gonna have to speak extemporaneously.
And one of the problems with you have cognitive decline is it is degenerative.
It always gets worse.
It doesn't get better.
And Jim is exactly right.
You know, this this debate should be about immigration, the economy.
Uh Joe wanting to raise capital gains to 44%.
It would it'll drive us into a depression.
Law and order, gas prices, national security, America's role in the world.
It's it's not complicated what people really care about.
Right.
You're exactly right.
But you know, the uh the point about him being jacked up, Joe, whether he's on drugs or not, it's it's it's the substance of this debate, not the substance.
Well, it could be Red Bull, I don't know.
I mean, I'm not sitting here, you know, accusing him.
I mean, I don't know.
I could drink two Red Bulls and I'm fine.
But you know, but think about it.
What's more important is he's gonna get up there and say things that aren't true.
And you know, they may interrupt Trump.
I mean, that what's amazing about the whole there's no studio audience.
They're gonna have a control switch that they can shut Trump off any given time.
And in the meantime, Joe Biden can go on whenever they want, and they can help him with answers and interrupt him.
But in the meantime, the real real Americans from that survey that I I said to you, they won they know that we've got a problem with inflation and high prices every day when they go to the store.
They know when they're paying their utility bills, that the price of air conditioners gone up over the summer, etc.
Try to buy a car, try to buy a house.
They know there's a problem when they're afraid to go out at night, when safety moms are flocking to Donald Trump because they're reading about illegal immigrants in their area that are committing crimes that are uh it's just totally out of control.
So the real the real importance of this debate is the substance of the discussion.
And you know, Donald Trump, you've had him on your your town halls multiple times.
And hey I I spent two uh nearly two hours with him when I interviewed him recently, and and this guy was dialed in.
He did an hour and fifteen minute interview with me nonstop and then runs in and does an hour and fifteen minutes with with Dr. Phil, and then he runs to a dinner right after.
I mean, I mean, that's his pacing every day.
Yep.
And I've been on the campaign trail with him when he's fitting that in between two-hour rallies where he's starting early in the morning and he's and he's going till you know, uh till they they gotta f fly the plane out because otherwise the airport's gonna shut down.
But he's he's he's really in great shape.
He's really sharp, and he remembers everything.
And what you're gonna see is those are substances what counts.
How are you gonna secure the border?
How are you gonna lower inflation?
Are you gonna be a better president than even the good president we had in his first term?
And can you stop the endless wars that are going on in the world?
And Donald Trump can give those answers like he's done on your town halls, like he did on the other Foxtown hall, and he can outshine Joe Biden in terms of reality and substance, regardless of whatever substance abuse Joe Biden's got going.
All right, quick break.

So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
We continue with John and Jim McLaughlin, the McLaughlin group as we have the lead up to Thursday's debate.
What do you make, uh, Jim McLaughlin about the Emerson poll, Trump leading in every swing state and tied in in Minnesota and the recent poll showing a tight race in Virginia?
And what do you make of Rasmussen, the five-way race, he's up by ten?
I mean, is it can that be accurate?
Yeah.
Oh no, I think it's really accurate.
What happens is when you look at likely voters, Donald Trump does significantly better.
And the Emerson poll is a great example.
Um in the Emerson poll, he's up in Arizona, he's plus four in Georgia, he's plus four, by the way.
Another survey came out where he was plus five today in uh in Georgia, much to the chagrin of the uh Atlanta Journal Constitution.
It was their poll.
He's ahead in Michigan, he's ahead in Nevada by three, Pennsylvania by two, and Wisconsin and uh by three.
Remember the old Democratic blue wall of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania?
Well, they've got Donald Trump ahead in all those states, and it makes perfect sense because this is how Donald Trump is changing the electoral map.
He's on offense.
He's doing significantly better with young people, he's doing significantly better with Hispanic voters, and one of the things they were lamenting in that Georgia poll was Donald Trump getting a large percentage of black voters.
He's is doing especially well among black men.
And John and I have seen it.
When we were doing the polling for Nathan Deal in Georgia, Nathan Deal got over 20% of the black vote.
Donald Trump is currently getting over 20% of the black vote in Georgia.
And he doesn't need to keep that.
All he needs is about 15%, and it's basically game over for uh Joe Biden in the general election.
All right.
We'll have you guys on uh again, obviously before the election.
Appreciate both of you.
Uh John and Jim McLaughlin, the McLaughlin group, uh, thank you both.
Appreciate it.
800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Now, since the horrific terror attack on October the seventh, we've we've seen it in the halls of Congress, college campuses.
Oh, by the way, nobody's gonna be charged in Columbia for taking over a building as violently as they did.
Uh that's Alvin Bragg's New York City.
Um I'm pretty sure that Joe is gonna try a lot of this on Thursday night.
Uh, and that is to blame Donald Trump for everything.
Blame Trump for the economy.
Blame Trump for the borders.
Blame Trump for the lack of law and order.
Blame Trump for the what's happening worldwide when just the opposite is true.
We've been lied to about inflation being transitory, lied to about the border being closed and secure, lied recently by Joe but last week by Joe Biden out there saying I fixed the border.
No, you didn't.
Uh you that that idiotic bipartisan legislation that he refers to uh would not have done a thing for border security, which is why Donald Trump rightly opposed it.
But this is their strategy, as reflected by the comments of Karine Jean Pierre.
The president has met the moment with every issue that we have had in front of us.
The president obviously talks about that often.
He's going to have another opportunity in on Thursday to speak to those issues.
And look, talking about Donald Trump.
We I just mentioned Dobbs decision.
The reason why we have chaos right now after the Dobbs decision, the reason why after Roe v.
Wade was overturned, overturned after it being constitutional law for 50 years, is because of what Donald Trump did in uh in his administration, and now IVF is on the line.
Contraception is on the line.
No, it's not.
He's just outright lying.
Look at the Supreme Court decision about the ready readily available abortion pill, which is pretty much a first trimester pill.
It's just unbelievable.
They just lie and make it up as they go along.
Uh now, one other interesting development.
When the president was in Philly, he was asked when he went to one of the local Philly cheesesteak places about whether or not he's made a decision on his vice president.
I tried to get it out of him.
I I I don't know who.
I think what we're reading about it's down to three or four is true.
But anyway, here was his he here was his answer.
He's made up his mind apparently.
Most likely, yeah.
I've decided to hear about the president.
In my mind, yeah.
Do they know?
No.
Nobody knows.
That's right.
What do you like as VP?
J.D. Beats.
You like J.D.?
Put the Rubio!
There's a lot of barriers.
You need...
Anyway, Rubio, J D, JD, Rubio, you know, it goes back and forth and forth and back.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
I know so many of you want to talk about the VP selection debate and anything else that's on your mind, the the horror that is the immigration fiasco of Joe Biden.
Uh let's start in Connecticut and William is next on the Sean Hannity show.
William, how are you?
Thanks for checking in.
Glad you called.
Yes, thanks, Sean.
Fan many 25 plus years of yours.
Great show.
The um I'm very by the way, I'm really honored by that.
Thank you.
No, you're quite welcome.
Thank you.
And uh uh the the thing is a little off off topic here, so because everybody's you know, the the mainstream right now is covering things, but a couple of just want to make a couple of salient points about what's not covered and maybe your influence.
Um I know ad nauseum, uh Biden is claiming sixty million jobs, everybody knows that we came out of a hibernation that he didn't create those jobs um from a pandemic.
But second, what's not mentioned by any network is that uh under the uh um Biden administration Obama Biden administration, sixty thousand factories closed in America.
So that kind of obfuscates the um the claim that he wants to bring manufacturing back to America when he just the his administration destroyed it.
And the argument will be well Bush, you know, 8,000 jobs.
Well sixty thousand jobs is a lot worse than eight thousand jobs left the country.
That's never mentioned.
And uh one thing too about his prescription plan, the um ironically it's CNN that's the two articles that they can be fact check of course.
Um I am diabetic and insulin was capped in uh 2020 at 35 dollars by the Trump administration.
That's an article in CNN May 26, 2020 could be fact checked um that's when it was stated by that.
And then Biden put a freeze February first, 2021 on on so he could investigate that and then all he did was stop it and then reinstate it so he could take credit for it.
But as I said I've been paying thirty five dollar cap for insulin for uh four years four or five years now.
And uh I'm glad by by the way is this type two diabetes or what is it?
Yes uh type two but I'm on an ins I'm on insulin.
So do you do you do you uh let me ask you a couple of questions because I know a lot about it.
Do you have pre existing conditions or or comorbidities?
Are you significantly overweight with you don't have to answer that if you don't want Yeah I mean be because of that I was in the hospital with COVID for three weeks in intensive care and lucky survived but it was because of my comorbidities with diabetes and I have what they call Syndrome X with the high blood pressure and cholesterol etc etc.
You know not to bore you with those facts but you know like I say the he's taking credit being the plagiarist that he is he's taking credit for things that he didn't do and he's been doing it forever.
You know so well well he he overstated we learned last week that his job numbers by over a million last year and we know that most of the jobs are part time jobs.
Most of them are going to illegal immigrants uh look at three thousand plus retailers around the country are shutting down because of the lack of law and order a story out today that McDonald's has locations shutting down.
McDonald's locations never shut down uh because of a twenty dollar minimum wage in California uh Hooters now is shutting down a lot of their their locations uh again for a lot of the same reasons.
Sure um sure by the way have I one thing I want to ask you on about your own health thing because you every point you're making is dead on accurate we totally agree.
I did have a friend of mine that had type two diabetes that went on one of those weight loss drug thingies.
I'm I'm not giving medical advice here.
I'm just saying maybe something to ask your doctor he lost a hundred you talk about GLP one inhibitors like uh yeah like uh Wagovi Wagovy I don't know what you call Zempic.
Well Gov is exempt Ozempic.
It is because Ozempic is banned in Europe for weight loss, believe it or not.
We don't mention that here.
But apparently it's very good for issues like diabetes in the heart according to him but you'd have to ask your own doctor but he lost a hundred pounds and the d diabetes issue for the most part for him went away.
I was pretty surprised he told me that I don't know if that's true for everybody.
I'm just something to look into well the only drawbacks with the GLP one inhibitors like Ozempic and Weg V and Munjaro and all those others is that you have to stay stay on it.
Once you stop you know you have to stay on the So you have to stay on the uh insulin?
Right.
No the uh GLP one inhibitors like Ozempus stuff you don't just take it lose the weight well is it is it hard healthy because he claims it's hard healthy is it or not?
Hard well it can be but I mean that's the uh statisti statistic manipulation they say you know but they don't say the negative effects of um you know oh he told me the negative effects he gets nausea he when you first started taking it he said he's sick as hell.
Well there's physical things there's gastroparasis which is stomach paralysis you can get thyroid cancer.
It's a black box warning basically um listen I'm just asking because I hate I know that I know uh diabetes can be very deadly and it has such a big impact on your heart.
Sean and I do everything correctly you know I'm a uh former restaurateur and regional director of food and beverage for major hotel group.
You know, I know more about nutrition than most people, and I do everything right and still.
You know, it's very, very hard.
And diabetes too, despite what the diabetes association will tell you is like it's a progressive disease that goes on and on to keep you pumped full of drugs and everything, but it can be like your friend is.
It can be reversed.
Not completely, but it can certainly be in remission when you you have to, you know, type two diabetes for 90% of people is uh fork to mouth disease as far as I'm concerned.
You know, it's like I think you stated it very well.
Let's one of the best decisions I made is I used NJ diet, they were an advertiser of mine, and I just I finally just bit the bullet and I lost the 25 pounds, and then I made the commitment to keep it off.
And I'm into health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and I will tell you I eat less than half of what I used to eat.
And I'm just very disciplined about it.
Now, would I rather eat pasta and which is all sugar and all those cra Yeah, I would, but I have a very keto friendly diet.
I eat eggs and a lot of a lot of meat, and that's that's basically the bulk of my diet and vegetables.
Oh, I'm I'm Greco-Roman.
I'm you know, I'm Mediterranean.
The the whole thing about pasta, I can't have pasta, peace, any anything with the carbohydrate, but then again, you have to be careful quackery online.
You know, they tell you, oh, you know, everybody's on carnivore now, only meat, and you know, there's a lot of drawbacks to this stuff, and certainly you got you gotta be careful.
All right, we're going on too long about health.
Let's I gotta move on to substance here, but I could talk to you all day.
Listen, just please take care of yourself, okay?
I want you to listen for another 25 years if you don't mind.
No problem.
And like I say, 60,000 factories closing.
That's kind of important to mention.
So thank you for listening and let me talk so long.
I appreciate it.
All right, my friend, God bless you.
Get better uh if you can, okay.
All right, quick break, right back to our phones.
800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
*music*
Back to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
Fran is in Pittsburgh, PA.
Fran, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, I'm I'm a little concerned about that debate about Biden's people putting earplugs in so they could tell them everything to safe from off the stage.
Uh I've heard this theory before.
I I would imagine that would be next to impossible to pull off, but I I don't know.
Um I don't want to I don't want to buy into a conspiracy theory, and uh I'd like to believe that they wouldn't try to cheat that way, but uh I don't after all we've been through, you know, uh I guess they're stranger things, but I'm I'm not expecting something like that to happen at all.
I think Biden is gonna have to stand on his own two feet and put on his big boy pants, you know, gas up with a lot of red bull or whatever, and uh, you know, look, there's a downside to him being hyper caffeinated and jacked up too, because America's gonna see that.
I mean, if Ronnie Jackson is right and they're trying to get just a perfect dose where he's alert, but yet not hyper caffeinated and screaming and yelling and going crazy.
You know, he doesn't have the teleprompter that he had at the State of the Union.
He's this is a this is a very difficult task, which is why they've taken all of this time off and away from his day job just to get everything for him right for this debate and prep him.
Um Donald Trump's out playing golf and doing campaign events.
Is he prepping?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's prepping.
I've been told he's prepping.
Can I say one thing, Sean?
May interrupt.
I'm not going to prepare.
I don't know.
It depends.
Don't worry, that's the dump button.
Don't worry about the dump button.
I just want to add one point.
And I know you think all this stuff is uh conspiracy tin foil hat, but I want to ask one question.
You don't think the reason why we don't see him for 10 days is so that when we see him, the contrast is not that great.
I don't think it has a damn thing to do with prepping.
Not one thing.
I think it has everything to do with prepping, and I think it has everything to do with getting him well Rested, adjusted to a different time schedule than he's normally used to, keeping him up later at night, uh, practicing standing for 90 minutes.
I mean, the fact that they have to do that speaks volumes also.
And uh, but I fully expect that you know we're gonna have Joe Biden.
I'd say an 85-90% chance that he's hyper caffeinated, jacked up Joe.
If I'm wrong, I'll be glad to admit it, and uh it'll be transparent either way.
Anyway, last word, Fran, we'll give it to you.
Yeah, I still think you had to check it out.
If they check it, it'd be it better be safe and not.
I don't know.
I don't expect that they'd be able to pull that off.
I mean, that would be that that that uh there's gotta be a way that that could be monitored and probably should, but I'm I don't expect that.
Look, there's no notes and there's no teleprompter, and obviously that would include no earpiece.
I wouldn't expect that if they if if they ever got caught doing that, it would be the end of Joe's career right then and there.
It'd be over.
Um, so I don't think it's uh a risk that anybody would be willing to take and probably be detectable because you're talking about some type of radio wave.
Um so I'm not I don't I don't believe that's that's possible.
Some people do.
I look, I've read it all online.
