President Biden's campaign is falling apart and Democrats are looking to Vice President Harris to potentially save the day. The poll numbers don't show that she will save anything but there are sound clips that do even more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Look, I'm just going to be honest.
I mean, everybody comes on the air and says all this great stuff, but behind the scenes, it's full-scale panic.
People are passing around legal memos.
He is as sharp as ever, as I have known him to be in my engagement and my experience with him.
George, I'm the guy that put NATO together.
The future.
No one thought I could expand it.
I'm the guy that shut Putin down.
No fucking hand.
The clock is ticking.
Only 116 days left until America votes.
Yeah, we have come in to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.

Sean Kennedy is on.
And thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, 116 days until Election Day, 67 days until early voting begins in the first state of Pennsylvania and rolling itself out around the country.
And where do we find ourselves?
Well, Operation Dump Joe, Crush Joe, Destroy Joe, Push Out Joe is in full force.
And what I said to you yesterday turned out to be, well, more right than I even thought that I was.
I mean, but just as we get started in the news today, understand this.
This Joe Biden cognitive decline lie cover-up, as Speaker Johnson has called it, the biggest political cover-up in history, has been well known for years.
And all of the people that are now so actively panicked and wanting to take out Joe, and it looks like far more, the odds are much greater today than they were yesterday that they're going to push him out.
He has this big, big boy, they keep saying it, we're going to have a big boy press conference.
How condescending is it to say about the president, his own staff that he's going to have a big boy press conference and everything after the NATO summit that's happening.
It was originally scheduled for the final hour, 5.30 today Eastern Time.
That would be, let's see, 2:30 Pacific time.
And now apparently, that's been pushed back to 6:30.
And we'll have full coverage on Hannity tonight.
But Operation Dump Joe Biden is in full effect.
Now, what did I say yesterday?
I said when we saw the op-ed in the New York Times from Joe Clooney, George Clooney, when we saw that op-ed by George Clooney, I said, I'd bet everything I had that Barack Obama has his fingerprints all over this.
Well, it turns out that I was 1,000% correct.
Politico reporting today, which is now that the news has gone out, and we also got the signal from Nancy Pelosi on MSDNC: well, that's going to be his decision.
It's not for me to say, and I'm not in leadership anymore.
Hardly a vote of confidence from the former speaker.
And it was, and it's been telling.
I mean, as we've been waiting to come on the air today, I mean, Senate Democrats have been meeting with Biden advisors, and so there's been a lot happening there.
But politico reports before George Clooney, who's a complete idiot.
I said, there's no way George Clooney did this on his own volition.
This is no doubt he had a call with his buddy and his pal and his friend.
They hang out a lot together, according to my sources, Barack Obama.
And what they're reporting in Politico is before he published this New York Times op-ed calling for Biden to step aside as the nominee.
He reached out to Barack Obama, the report goes on to say, to give him a heads up.
The two men were friendly.
They're more than friendly.
They both were at this fundraiser that Clooney was bragging about in his op-ed piece where the actress said that he beheld a diminished Biden and that the leader that he interacted with was not the same man that we all witnessed at the debate.
That he was the same man now.
Well, why didn't he say anything for such a long time?
Why did Obama, when this debate happened, why was he one of the first people to come out and say that, I know of myself, you're going to have a bad debate night?
Acting as though the last four years, we've been running tapes of Joe Biden being weak and frail in a cognitive mess for over four years.
Now, the report says Obama didn't openly encourage or advise Clooney to say what he said.
Quote, he also didn't object to it.
We're told from people familiar with their exchange.
That's their way of saying that Barack Obama gave the okay, the wink, the nod, the yes.
It's time for Joe to go push to everybody.
And that was before Nancy Pelosi went on MSDNC.
That's before all these reports about Chucky Schumer came out.
That, in fact, that Schumer is apparently willing himself to push Joe aside.
I'll get into that in more detail in a minute.
And all of this has been planned.
All of this has been orchestrated.
This is not a surprise.
And now we know where it's coming from.
Now, there's other things that are happening that are all evidence that this is true.
Biden aides are now, according to the New York Times, poll testing Kamala Harris's election chances against Donald Trump.
And, well, two people that are going absolutely ballistic over this are Liberal Joe and Mika.
They're going nuts.
They teed off on Obama this morning, blaming him for this George Clooney piece.
They're not wrong.
It's opposite George Clooney.
But what do you mean?
It just wasn't.
Come on.
Who do you think it was?
Matt Damon?
It was not Matt Damon.
It wasn't Julia Roberts either.
Who do you think it was?
You can say the name.
You won't know.
It's not Voltemore.
Are you saying you think Barack Obama put him up to this?
I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence, and I think that there's a lot there.
There's a lot there.
There's a lot there.
There is a lot there, Willie.
There are two people in this picture, and one has had a presidency that was absolutely, undeniably historic.
Well, I think you have two people that had extraordinarily historic in terms of legislative accomplishments.
Well, you say, and they're both historic.
And they're both historic.
By the way, whatever happened to Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
Is this not a real threat?
What about the party that claims to be the party of the people?
Not the party of the people.
No, this is the party of the elitist, Hollywood, left-wing, Wall Street donor class, mainstream media, Pravda mob, state-run media.
And when they have their power base threatened, the voters be damned.
It doesn't matter that millions and millions of Democrats voted in Democratic primaries at a point where everybody knew about Joe's cognitive decline issues.
It wasn't a surprise.
You couldn't hide it.
They just lied to us and they just flat out denied what was obvious.
And at the end of the day, everybody needs to understand, regardless of what they all decide to do, and if they're going to push the people's views aside and the apparatchic, if you will, the leaders in the Democratic Party, the Biden record is a Democratic Party record.
Donald Trump will run against that record.
Kamala Harris was part of this lie and this cover-up.
She was up to her eyeballs.
Every Democrat was.
Everyone in the mob and the media was.
And there are questions, legal issues, about whether or not Biden or Harris, if they're the nominee about the transferability of their campaign funds, we'll get to that too.
But at the end of the day, there's not a dime's worth of difference.
Any name that has ever been mentioned, they will still support open borders and these horrific economic policies and redistribution of wealth and a 44% capital gains tax, which will destroy investment and new Green Dealism, which Kamala Harris co-sponsored as a senator.
We'll get to her coming up in the next half hour.
You know, it's all true.
But this all didn't happen by accident.
Nancy Pelosi's trip to MSDNC and a lack of support was not an accident.
What happened with George Clooney is not an accident.
Axios reporting that Chuck Schumer is privately signaling to donors that he's open to a new Democratic presidential ticket not led by Biden is not an accident.
You know, Gretchen Whitmer out of nowhere calling on Biden to take a cognitive test is not an accident.
You know, Biden AIDS poll testing Kamala Harris is not an accident.
This all seems to all fingers, as even liberal Joe and Mika, didn't think I'd agree with them, points back to Obama.
And now the walls are closing in on Joe.
The only what-if factor here is whether or not they're successful.
I mean, Biden's fundraising numbers are collapsing, so the donor class is dropping out.
NBC News saying the money has absolutely been shut off.
Well, that word has gone out to the donor class.
Hold your money.
Don't give it to Joe.
Progressives are outraged as Democrats privately admit that Trump is not an existential threat.
That was pretty interesting.
New York Times columnist Ezra Klein saying top Democrats told him they don't think Trump is an existential threat to democracy.
He told podcast host Tim Miller, I've had top Democrats say to me, I don't know why all these Democrats think Trump is an existential threat to democracy or acting the way they are, but the reason I'm acting the way I am is because I don't think that.
Klein said, I think you have to have at some point, whatever these Democrats are saying in public, they're more resigned and more willing to just be the resistance to a Trump presidency than a lot of their public-facing rhetoric would suggest.
No, they're going to go in and they're going to try to win.
You want to talk about another lack of real support of democracy or democracy in peril?
Just look at what happened in North Carolina.
Democratic majority, North Carolina, state board of elections.
They just blocked Cornell West, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., from the November general election ballot, upholding their earlier decision.
However, the board approved the Constitution Party, enabling the small party to include a candidate on the ballot.
Well, why did they do that?
To protect Joe Biden, to protect the Democratic nominee, to not allow the splintering of any votes in any way, any shape, any manner, or any form here.
You know, we're finding ourselves at a time where three weeks ago, Barack Obama, George Clooney knew beyond any doubt, and they never thought that it would be the right thing to do to tell the American people that the president of the United States is a cognitive wreck and he's not up to the job.
And then they had the audacity to allow anybody that pointed out a real unedited video to be called a liar and a propagandist for showing Joe Biden unedited being escorted off the stage at that very same event.
They're just a bunch of pathetic propagandists and liars.
You know, it was all an act.
This is liberal Hollywood.
This is the power elite in the Democratic Party.
Clooney, Julia Roberts, Barack Obama, such wonderful people.
And then the cover-up over the doctor coming to the White House.
Why did that happen?
Now, of course, they put all this pressure on Biden for a speech before NATO leaders the other day.
Now he's given a big boy press conference.
You know, Nancy Pelosi saying Joe must choose and time is running short.
Reports Schumer's open to it.
This is not all happening by accident.
The elitists that run this party, they are statist.
They are Marxist.
They are radicals.
Whoever takes the reins from Biden, assuming that happens.
And we'll see what Joe Biden has to say about it.
Now, he could have a disastrous press conference, and then that would be the end of it.
But I've been saying forever, he's one fall or one horrible moment away from that happening anyway.
You know, now we got a report.
World leaders are now saying they're concerned about Joe's diminished capacity.
They've known about it also.
But the idea that this is all happening in a vacuum, you have to be beyond naive.
And Barack Obama and George Clooney are close buddies, and Politico nailed it.
And I told you this happened yesterday.
And now the floodgates are going to open now that the NATO summit is over.
Now we're up to, I think, 10 Democrats in the House and one senator saying that he should get off the ticket.
It's going to be never-ending.
It's going to be a non-stop deluge of Democrats daily that are going to be calling for Joe Biden to step aside.
And even apparently his aides, they're going to be called in too and say, get on board now while the going's good.
Or else you stick on this freight train that's about to crash.
It's not going to end well for you and you probably won't be hired down the line.
Otherwise, we probably can find a really good position with you in another administration.
You don't think that's happening also?
It is.
Welcome to the real world.
Sad, pathetic, but that's America under Joe Biden.
800-941, Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
This is radical leftist Marxist Tactics 101.
But I warn you, there's not a dime's worth of difference.
These horrific policies, leftist policies will remain, and America's decline will continue.
800-941, Sean, Operation Dump Joe Biden, Crush Joe Biden is in full effect.
And this press conference is the most important moment of his presidency.
We happening 6.30 Eastern, 3.30 Pacific today.
We'll have full coverage of it tonight on Hannity 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
I mean, there's an interesting side note to all of this, watching this Democratic Civil War.
And then you watch the real power base behind the Democratic Party.
It is run by elitists.
It is not run by the people.
Want to talk about democracy in peril?
No, you got liberal Hollywood elitists, you know, the donor class, the mob, the media, state-run media.
They see their power bases threatened.
They see Donald Trump winning.
And that is the only reason they have come out and finally recognized the truth that has been obvious to all of us for so long.
They don't want to give up power.
We'll continue.
Be sure to check in as soon as you get to your car after work for breaking information you need to know about.

It's so funny.
I'm going to have to write somebody something.
It's between 8 and 10.
It's a long story short.
It's between 8 and 10.
There you go.
Pretty simple.
So anyway, let me just point out democracy matters, right?
Because now it's important to note everything I said.
George Clooney knew.
Obama knew.
Did George Clooney do this on his own, or did he go to his good pal, Barack Obama?
They told you yesterday I'd bet everything than fact that he did.
And, you know, in fact, now we're learning from Politico that that's exactly what happened.
Obama was given a heads up, didn't do a thing to stop it, wouldn't stop it, probably gave the wink and nod.
And it's not an accident that Nancy Pelosi went on MSDNC and said, well, this is really up to Joe.
I really don't have a say in this, whatever he decides.
And Chucky Schumer open now to dumping Joe Biden.
You think this is an accident?
It's not an accident.
Democracy matters, though, right?
Democracy's on the ballot, right?
Every vote counts, right?
According to liberals, the fate of democracy is at stake this election.
That's what they've been saying.
And yet they're now trying to disenfranchise millions and millions of Democratic primary voters.
They knew about Joe Biden's cognitive state, and they voted for him anyway.
And anyway, so now this is where we find ourselves.
And now get ready because the dam is about to burst.
It's what you have here, if you really want to know what this is, as they threaten to cut off money, which they've been doing.
And behind the scenes, I'm telling you right now, they're telling big donors, yeah, to hold your fire.
Let's see how this plays out.
Yeah, he's not doing very well, but they all knew it.
That's why this is the biggest, you know, lying, cover-up scandal.
I think Speaker Johnson is right in our history.
And the person at the front of it is Kamala Harris.
The Obama's knew the whole time.
George Clooney knew three weeks ago.
Obama's known the whole time, too.
Never underestimate Joe's ability to F things up.
They'd never have liked each other.
That's the only big question mark.
What's Joe going to do?
Because what you're looking at is all this pressure for Joe to push, you know, to step down and cut off his money and then plotting and scheming to replace Biden and orchestrating it with big money and liberal leftist elitists in the Democratic Party.
They're the party of coastal elites now.
It's like a coup d'état by Washington bosses, Hollywood liberals, big money elites to keep control of the White House, come hell or high water.
They've known about this mess for years.
They just don't like that they're going to lose.
That's a big threat to democracy.
Donald Trump's not the threat to democracy.
Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee.
He says he's not stepping down.
I think the odds are getting lower and lower.
Let's see how this press conference goes at 6.30 Eastern tonight.
He just keeps shuffling along.
How long ago have I said he couldn't be a greeter at Walmart?
How many long ago have I said that this is elder abuse?
Everybody's known.
That's the insulting part.
You know, it's as it stands, where we are is now we've got to look forward.
If Joe Biden makes it past this looming coup at the DNC, he'll be the candidate and name only, to be honest.
It's only going to be a matter of time until it's Kamala Harris.
One way or the other, it's going to be Kamala Harris.
Van Jones said that Democrats are running Kamala one way or the other.
And if Joe just is, you know, remember, it's degenerative of cognitive decline, so it never gets better.
It only gets worse.
So they either kick him to the curb and she becomes the nominee, or he stays in the race and she takes over when he can't function, which seems to now be inevitable.
But the vice president, has anyone ever taken a look at her?
I have.
I have a couple hundred pages on Kamala Harris that I have read in the last week.
Got a lot to share with you in the days and weeks ahead.
You know, even Joe Biden at his worst polls better than her, but trust me, after it's whoever gets put in this position is going to be anointed as the second coming of Jesus.
She ran for president.
It was a disaster.
She's very unlikable.
She's got that, you know, nervous giggle, our giggling vice president.
And according to reports, she refuses to prepare for events.
I mean, it's so disjointed and cringeworthy half the time.
You know, platitudes about the passage of time and, you know, so on and so forth in communities.
It's so bizarre.
Listen.
The largest investment ever to take on the climate crisis.
Roughly a trillion dollars with a T.
I had to.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
One of the things I love are Venn diagrams.
I love Venn diagrams.
You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.
The significance of the passage of time.
Right.
The significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.
More parents are seeing the value of educators when they have to pick kids and say we're not paying them nearly enough.
It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.
Every day, it is time for us to agree.
We all believe that when we talk about the children of the community, they are children of the community.
So Ukraine is a country in Europe.
It exists next to another country called Russia.
Russia is a bigger country.
Russia is a powerful country.
Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
So basically, that's wrong.
Now, I would argue Joe has got an ailment.
It's cognitive decline.
It's age.
It is whatever you want to call it.
Dementia.
Early onset Alzheimer's, maybe full-on Alzheimer.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm not going to diagnose him.
But it's certainly been transparent to anyone with eyes to see what's her excuse.
Because, I mean, some of the most bizarre things ever said by any politician in my lifetime.
And by the way, she thinks she's a philosopher.
She's no Socrates.
Anyway, you know, when all else fails, Kamala often goes to unburdened by what has been as if this is deep and profound.
Listen.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
You know?
What can be?
What can be unburdened?
What can be unburdened by what has been?
Unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
Let us remain focused on what many of you have heard me say all the time.
Let us remain focused on what can be unburdened by what has been.
She thinks she's deep and profound.
It's over five minutes of her repeating that line unedited.
I mean, she is a far-left Marxist socialist.
She will be basically, you know, a figurehead of the radical left.
That's who she is anyway.
She co-sponsored a bill with Bernie Sanders that would force Americans into a single-payer healthcare system, socialism.
She sponsored a bill to prohibit the drilling for oil in the Pacific and the Atlantic.
She spearheaded efforts in the Senate to pass AOC's insane Green New, radical Green New Deal socialism four days after the Minneapolis police precinct.
Remember, it was burned to the ground by those, quote, peaceful protesters, or I'd rather say insurrectionists and rioters in the summer of 2020.
Remember, she tweeted out the link calling on her following to chip in and help post bail for these criminals.
Apparently, one of the people involved ended up committing, is being accused of committing murder.
So I guess, you know, where's Liz Cheney when you need her to investigate insurrection?
You know, then she issued a threat.
She goes on with Colbert.
Take note.
Beware.
They're not going to stop.
They shouldn't stop.
We're not going to stop.
Remember this?
This is a movement.
I'm telling you.
They're not going to stop.
And everyone, beware, because they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels.
They're not going to let up and they should not.
Wow.
574 riots, dozens of dead Americans.
How many cops, thousands of cops injured, culted with bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails?
And she's tweeting out a bail fund after the burning down of a police precinct.
Law and order means nothing to your giggling vice president.
It's Texas, by the way, to say she's giggling according to the hard-hitting news show The View and Joyless Behar.
She has been an abject failure as borders are.
Listen to Kamala on the border.
I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border.
Do not come.
They came.
It was kind of like, you know, her message to Iran when she was on 60 Minutes.
Don't.
They did.
Listen.
As President Biden said, just don't.
Exactly.
One word.
Pretty straightforward.
Don't.
They did.
Don't.
They came.
Nearly 11 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants, nearly 180 countries, poured into this country.
A record number of suspected terrorists, gang members, other criminals, rapists, murderers.
We see what's been happening.
They all have blood on their hands, all of them.
They share in this because none of them have lifted a finger.
They just all lied to us and told you the border was secure and the border was closed.
Americans dying because they've been unwilling to take any action.
The mob, the state-run media, they have been complicit in hiding this.
By the way, what do you think?
What do you imagine President Xi and Putin and the Mullahs of Iran think about her as president?
You think they care?
They don't.
She had a warning to Iran.
Same thing.
Don't.
Don't.
Well, they did.
Nobody will take her seriously.
Our enemies will laugh at her and completely dismiss her.
And frankly, every Democrat are weak.
They know that they don't believe in America's dominance in the world, that America should be the leader of the free world.
You know, and let's be honest about something else, too.
If we are dealing with what Speaker Johnson calls the biggest political cover-up in history, Joe Biden's cognitive decline lie and cover-up that everybody knew about, he has one-on-one lunches with the president every week.
She's known.
She's been there while Joe is screwed up over and over again.
Listen: The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.
Well, anyway, I don't think we have that cut.
She needs to be held accountable here.
Everybody in the mob and the media needs to be accountable.
Do you understand the people that didn't care that Mar-a-Lago was valued at $18 million when a rudimentary perusal of Palm Beach real estate would have proved it's closer to a billion?
They didn't care.
They didn't care about the Russia hoax and the lie.
They didn't care about the Hillary Clinton bought for paid for Russian disinformation dossier that became the basis of four FISA warrants.
They didn't care about any of it.
They didn't care to show the American people the truth about our open borders.
They didn't care.
They just keep telling you Bidenomics, Bidenomics, Bidenomics.
25% of Americans forego meals, have had to forego a meal in the last year because they can't afford it.
66% of Americans gulping water, but Bidenomics is sure a success.
They don't care about their new Green Deal radical energy policies they're trying to shove down your throat and into your driveway.
They don't care that Joe surrendered in the war on terror.
Just the opposite.
She supported these radicals on college campuses, you know, that have been pro-Hamas for crying out loud.
So, you know, a lot of people are saying, well, this gets harder for Trump.
Not if the American people know about the real Kamala Harris.
And that's, I guess, the job of a few of us because the mob, state-run media won't do it.
They have been complicit the whole time.
Are we a banana republic or are we going to remain a Democratic republic?
Ben Franklin was asked: is it a monarchy or a republic?
A republic if you can keep it.
I don't know if we're going to be able to keep it.
I'm worried about it.
Weaponization of justice, all of this lawfare.
Sad state.
Look what they've done to the country.
We are a nation in decline because of it.
All right, we're awaiting Joe's presser, 6:30 Eastern Time, 3:30 Pacific.
This, the big boy press conference.
In the meantime, we'll go out to the state of Arizona.
