Thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity's show, toll-free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are awaiting Joe Biden's big press conference.
This is a make or break moment for Joe Biden.
Just like his speech before NATO leaders earlier in the week, a make or break moment.
Everything he does now is a make or break moment.
Uh but Operation Dump and Crush Joe Biden is in full effect.
We saw that with Senate Democrats meeting with Biden advisors earlier today.
Uh now the reports, the New York Times, as I've been saying, Biden aids are uh poll testing Kamala Harris's election chances against Donald Trump.
Uh you do have some pushback.
I mean, some of the leftist media is going insane.
Liberal Joe and poor Mika having a heart attack over at MSDNC, but you know, the everything that I had told you turns out to be true yesterday, which is that there's no way that George Clooney wrote that op-ed without a wink and a nod from his best buddy Barack Obama.
And that happened.
And that we know happened.
Now I predict uh if they get rid of Joe, which is where this is headed, and Kamala Harris replaces him.
It will be it will be the mob the media, the co-conspirators in this cover-up.
They will all join ranks and act as if this is the second coming of Jesus.
That's what they will do.
Then the media will come out with phony polls showing that Kamala's beating Donald Trump.
See, we told you we needed to get rid of Joe Biden.
Now we can happy days of here again.
And Hollywood money will begin to flow.
And liberal donors and billionaires will begin to, you know, open up their wallets again and their purses again.
And uh, but you there's no difference.
I mean, uh I at least Joe Biden kind of has an excuse.
And as we've been playing, the blunders and the giggling and the you know, bizarre speeches about Communities are designed for the community.
So people in the community can commune together in a community.
You know, with the passage of time.
We're all passing through time together, which is the passage of time.
And then diagrams.
And nervous, you know, giggling or nervous giggling vice president.
It just never ends.
Anyway, well, we got to worry about what's happening in important swing states.
One of them is the great state of Arizona, Carrie Lake running for Senate out there, will join us in a minute.
Here's her latest ad highlighting Joe Biden's cognitive issues.
I hope you were able to tune in to Joe's debate.
Because if there is one thing we can take away from the debate, it is this.
That was faithful.
Extremely feeble, extremely weak.
He is very old and was lost frequently.
Joe Biden is 100% gone.
Sleepy Joe and radical Ruben.
Arizona's deserve better than this train wreck.
We need a full investigation.
The House Oversight Committee is now beginning that, bringing in Biden aides, bringing in these doctors, and demanding answers.
Everybody is known.
Kyrie Lake, Senate candidate, Republican out of Arizona is with us now.
How are you?
Um doing great.
We're just campaigning across this beautiful state of Arizona and uh exposing the Democrats for what they are.
Full of bad ideas.
Um America Last, my opponent, uh you know, you see you heard the ad there.
Thank you for playing that.
He's voted with Joe Biden a hundred percent of the time.
I mean, even AOC doesn't vote with Joe Biden a hundred percent of the time, but radical Ruben Gallego does.
And of course, you know, he's got all the Soros money behind him, so he's running a bunch of ads trying to paint himself as a cross between Mr. Rogers and G.I. Joe, when in fact he's he's really just a Biden mini-me, except forty years younger.
So imagine Biden's policies for 40 more years.
It's it's absolutely horrifying.
And once we start defining him and letting the people of Arizona know who he is, because most people don't know who he is, they're not gonna like what they see, and that's why we're starting to see the polling go in our favor.
We are still within the margin of of uh error, but guess what?
We are ahead.
Cook politico just announced that we are ahead in this race and we want to get more and more momentum.
We've got lots of stamina on the campaign trail.
We just launched our bus tour, the Make Arizona Grand Again bus tour, and so many people are coming out to our events.
There they're people who've never been involved in politics, who are realizing that over the next four months we have a real opportunity to save our country, and if we don't step in and get active and vote, we will lose our country.
And as Reagan said, we're we're we'll head into a thousand years of darkness.
So right now in Arizona, the primary ballots are in people's mailboxes, they gotta get them sent out, vote Carrie Lake.
I'm way up in the primary, but we have to vote anyway, and then we're gonna move on and uh take down Ruben Gallego and the destructive policies of the Democrats.
Uh Sean, I don't think it matters who they and by the way, he's uh he's a hundred percent Biden voter, so people need to realize that in Arizona.
Not ninety percent, one hundred percent.
It's crazy.
It's insane.
What do you make of what I believe is I I don't disagree with the speaker.
This is the biggest political cover-up in history.
Uh, you know, uh Carrie, you've known me a long time.
I was playing tapes of Biden's cognitive decline before the twenty twenty election.
I've been playing it for four straight years.
Uh I I I mean, everybody is known.
They've all covered it up, they've all lied, they've all been part of this this effort to protect him and keep him in a bubble.
They've all acted like it wasn't happening until they just couldn't hide it anymore because it was even a worse disaster than usual at the debate.
Uh oh, well, I think it was very suspicious that it was all an in sync right on time.
Everyone just turned on him after the debate.
And you've been talking about it for years.
Republicans have seen it for years.
Americans have seen it for a long time, and really disingenuous for the fake news media to all of a sudden act like this is the first time they've noticed it.
And you know, I think it's because they want to pull a switcheroo.
They know he's not ready for prime time.
This is a weekend at Bernie's administration.
And they want to switch somebody out, but they didn't want to have to have a contentious primary where actual real candidates got in.
They want to hand pick who they want in this corrupt administration.
And but the fact of the matter is it doesn't matter who they plug in.
The American people are on to the fact that the Democrats' policies are destructive.
They're dead end policies that make our lives harder, worse, less safe.
They make our country uh, you know, falter and and look terrible on the world stage.
They've created a wide open border.
I don't care who they plug in.
It's not going to work because the American people have woken up to the fact that the Democrats don't have solutions that will that will improve our lives and make our our country better.
You know, and I think you're saying and you're highlighting something that's very critical here as Operation Dum Joe and Crush Joe is in full effect.
And that is it doesn't really matter who is on the at the top of the ticket in terms of the policies.
The the I mean, open borders has been supported by everybody.
The biggest liar about our borders has been the vice president herself, of a so-called border czar who did nothing to protect our borders.
And and the same thing with the economy.
Well, inflation hasn't been transitory, has it?
No, it hasn't.
It's been crushing the American people.
I was just out um on a bus tour right now, and I talked to a father of four daughters, he's a single dad.
He said, Carrie, I'm I'm just a blue-collar worker.
I said, Wait a minute, stop.
You are the backbone of this country.
You're the red, white, and blue workers, what you really are.
And he said, I've never had higher credit score.
I've been working really hard to save money, and now because of Joe Biden's economy, I've been trying to save money to get into a house.
I can't afford to get into a house.
I'm living in a Fitzwheeler with my four daughters.
He said it's good grief.
Harder than I've ever worked, doing everything right, and I just can't seem to get ahead.
And that is a story of Arizonans all over the state.
It's not because people aren't working hard.
There's not enough hours in the day where you can work to afford this economy.
And it doesn't matter if they pop Michelle Obama in there, if they put Kathleen Kamala in there.
The policies don't work for the American.
By the way, if you make fun of Kamala Harris's laugh, our giggling vice president, apparently that is sexist, according to Joyless Behar on that hard-hitting news show, The View.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Well, I'm a woman, so it's going to be hard for me to be sexist against women.
I've been saying it forever because, I mean, this nervous, inappropriate laugh is...
It's just bizarre.
The the giggling vice president, she's just not a serious person.
She's not particularly it, you know, she's not equipped for this job either.
I mean, Joe has an excuse.
I don't know what her excuse is.
She goes into these bizarre rants.
It's really strange.
I think it's it's really hard to be less popular than Joe Biden right now, but Kamala may have taken that that position.
I think she's less popular.
Um people have no confidence in this administration, and they are um quickly coming over and realizing that the America First policies that we saw that made our lives better under President Trump are truly that.
This isn't right versus left.
It's right what's right for America versus what's wrong for America.
And the people of this country are sick of being put last.
And we've been put last under Joe Biden under the Democrat policies, whether it comes to people invading our country, pouring over, and now my opponent voted to give them uh the right to vote in this next election.
They want to put a ballot in the hand of everybody.
They want these people on the on the voter roll so that they can vote and try to try to win that way because they know that nobody in this country wants these policies, and they've lost the voter.
Quick break, right back more with Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kyrie Lake on the other side.
Then your call's coming up 800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program later on, Dave Bosse.
We're awaiting the 630 press conference of Joe Biden, the big boy press conference.
We'll have full coverage of that on Hannity tonight.
All right, we continue now with Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kerry Lake is with us.
What is it about Arizona?
What has made it a swing state where in the past it have been more reliably Republican?
Is it an influx of people from California?
No, uh actually, you know, we do have people coming here from California, and and many of them I call them political refugees.
They've had to sell everything and leave their state and and set up in a new state because they don't like the direction that Gavin Newsom and once again, the Democrats have led that state.
So most of the Californians I run into are pretty conservative, and they want to save our state.
I mean, we we have elections that are run like in a banana republic.
I'm just going to lay that out there.
I don't believe for a second this state is blue or purple.
I'm out on the campaign trail every day, people from all walks of life coming up to our bus and saying, I want to get involved.
We gotta save this country.
But we also have to have election integrity reform.
We have to have reform in our elections.
We can't have election season where you have uh, you know, right now there's a lawsuit in Arizona to remove between a half a million and one point two million entries in our voter logs or voter rolls because the people who don't live here anymore have died, and yet there's a explain this to me.
Why is it that they just went through the the SAVE Act in Washington?
Why is it in your state of Arizona it's illegal for uh somebody well, if you want to vote in an elect a local election in Arizona, uh you must prove citizenship.
Have proof of citizenship.
However, if you want to vote in a federal election, you don't need it in your state.
Why is that?
Well, we're fighting that.
It's not right, and everybody knows it.
Everybody who hears what you just said said that's not right.
So in other words, you can't prove you're a citizen.
Okay, well then here.
Here's a ballot with the presidential race on it, the senatorial race on it, the Congress race on it.
Go ahead and vote in that.
It's wrong, and that's why we're suing.
So the Democrats will stop at nothing to try to win this, and even if it means cheating and lying.
And that's why, you know, we're gonna have to I'm I'm continuing to fight in the courts, filing another um uh filing in the Arizona Supreme Court today.
Uh we just have to continue to fight for election integrity.
But, you know, we're we gotta play in the in the field that we're in, and we're not in a level playing field, but we have to vote anyway.
I know for many people out there, Sean, they they're hearing this and they go, gosh, nothing's been fixed, it's not fixed yet.
We haven't we haven't restored faith in our election.
We're working on it, but unfortunately we have to vote in the system we have right now, and that means nobody can sit home.
In our governor's race, we had record historic turnout in for a midterm election, but still about three hundred thousand Republicans sat out.
And Republicans who maybe hadn't voted in five bat past elections.
This are you reaching those voters?
Are you gonna get in touch with them?
Yeah, we have the we have the biggest ground game of any Senate candidate in the country.
We're knocking on between eight hundred to two thousand doors a day with our ground team, and we are specifically aiming toward those voters who haven't voted in four elections.
And that's what we're finding out.
They realize they haven't been active voting, but they're saying, Oh my gosh, are we going to vote?
Yes, because we can't afford anything.
Our lives are being upside down.
Let me ask you this, because I'm running out of time.
How do people get in touch with you and find out more about your campaign?com.
And if you're in Arizona and you want to join on our bus tour across this beautiful state, Carylake.com/slash events.
If you want to donate anywhere across the country, President Trump needs the Senate.
If you love President Trump, you want to get his his agenda passed, we got to give him the Senate.
He's got to have support in the Senate.
He has endorsed me and some other greats like Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Tubberville, Gates, all of the big fighters have endorsed me.
And we need to get in there and make sure we get this America first agenda through.
So if you can spare a Republican Senate and uh people like you that will fight in there.
No doubt about it.
Harry Lake, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Thanks.

800-941 Shauna's on number.
Your call's coming up straight ahead.
Uh awaiting the big Biden presser.
It is 30 minutes after we go off the air.
Well, full coverage on Hannity about this tonight.
Uh, as I've been telling you all day, uh, it is now all in everything I told you yesterday about Obama orchestrating the cloney op-ed to push Joe out.
They all knew, but they all hid it and they had every intention of hiding it.
If Joe could have survived the debate a little better against Donald Trump.
Uh, but now clearly this is an Obama orchestrated effort to get rid of Joe, Senate Democrats.
You know, everybody's now seemingly f beginning to fall in line, starting with Pelosi with her, you know, well-prepared little speech on MSDNC, followed by Chucky Schumer, followed by the Senate meeting today.
Uh it's all falling in place to push Joe out.
The only question mark is if Joe agrees.
Because he doesn't have to agree.
And then, of course, you know, what if today's press conference, uh big boy press conference, is a big boy disaster.
Uh anyway, want to remind you so many I know of are struggling with everyday bills, food, gas, your power bill.
Now, if you do own a home and you find yourself taking on a lot of high interest credit card debt, please get a free no obligation consultation from our friends at American Financing.net.
And I'll tell you why.
They're saving their average customer $854 a month.
They tap into their home equity, and which has gone up significantly on average in the past year, and that wipes out high interest credit card debt, and they're saving the average customer $854 a month.
That's 10 grand a year.
And that could be all the difference between being in the red every month or being in the black and and balancing your your checkbook.
Anyway, credit card interest rates are insane.
Just get your freed, no obligation, consultation, and it's free, and it's no obligation and no pressure.

Uh, before we get to our calls, David Portnoy crocs me up.
The guy, the founder, the guy that runs Barstools, he just cracks me up.
Uh I watch these videos and I am laughing and crying out loud.
They're just hilarious.
He he gets this dog, Miss Peaches.
Hi, Miss Peaches.
I got stayed just for you.
No, you need to savor it, Miss Peaches.
No, no, no.
You're just swallowing it.
You gotta savor it.
And he treats this this dog like a baby.
It's it's it is I mean, because he's a guy's guy.
Linda, you like Fortnite.
He's funny as hell.
I do like him a lot.
He's so irreverent.
He goes, uh he goes to one of these protests where a bunch of you know crazy people, a guy has a mask on, and he goes, Well, you know, you guys want to like tax the rich.
He goes, I'm I'm rich as Adam Schiff, and uh I don't want to be tax.
It's just he does stuff like this that it just cracks me up.
And he's he's got uh he's just got the this massive following.
Uh it's a sheltered dog, which I know Linda loves, and anyway, it just it's it's just become it it's just a riot.
Anyway, so he made the comment he was on Fox and Friends today, and I was what uh and watching him, and was it today or yesterday?
I don't even remember I'm like Joe.
I don't even remember.
It was earlier today.
And I'm watching, and it's like, you know, even Miss Peaches knows she's a vegetable, it cracks me up, Lizon.
So Dave I'm on island time, I'm in Nentucket.
I love it, brother.
So so tell us, uh, why do you think all these people are coming out now?
Well, they want to whack 'em.
Like, to be honest, I'm probably in the minority.
I tweeted during the debate.
I thought Biden did great because I was expecting him not to be able to put a sentence together.
If you have actually paid even a tiny bit of attention to Joe Biden over the last year, two years, you know that he's gone.
And it happens when you get old, but you don't walk onto a stage and not be able to find your way off of it.
You don't get corraled at, you know, international meetings by leaders having to walk you off.
You don't fall off your bike.
You don't say you had lunch with somebody who's been dead for five years or whatever.
It's one after another after another.
So I couldn't believe they let him do the debate, which brings to the point.
If all these people, clony, chuck, talk, whoever, everybody knew that this man is basically a vegetable.
Why would you ever let him do that debate unless you want to show the world that he's gone and get rid of him?
So uh it's shameful.
And the crazy part is I think a lot of people, you could I said this in the rant.
You could say it's Trump versus a head of lettuce, and people hate Trump so much, they may still vote for the head of lettuce.
Like that's what we don't know is who's actually been running the country um for the last four years.
Who knows?
Yeah, so biggest political cover-up uh in history.
It really is.
And then that comment was made by Speaker Johnson.
And everybody knew that has known about the Joe Biden cognitive decline.
It's been a big lie, a big cover-up.
The mob, the media, state-run idiot.
They've all known, but the ends justifies the means if they can beat Donald Trump.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh, let's say hi first to Mark.
He's in oh, he's got food suggestions for Wisconsin.
We're gonna be in Milwaukee next week.
Uh Mark, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, thanks for having me.
What's going on?
Hey, um, so I heard you're looking for restaurant suggestions, and my aunt and uncle are recently at a steakhouse in Milwaukee up on the north uh kind of northwest side, I guess, 16th and Blue Mountain called the Milwaukee Steakhouse.
And she says, Mark, I just let you know I got my picture with Sean Hannity.
I said, You got what?
She said, Yeah, and this restaurant after the steakhouse has a life-size cardboard cutout of you.
You can get your picture taken with.
No boy.
What's the name?
Well, well, don't even say the name because I don't want to telegraph where I'm going.
Um now, by the way, Katie, you looked into this and you confirmed this is true.
This is a hundred percent true.
We looked on it, the the Yelp pictures were amazing.
It was so funny to see you up there.
Oh my gosh.
I gotta, I mean, I I gotta figure out a way to get there.
And I'm bringing Sensei and my my dojo with me uh to both conventions.
I'm not sure if you know how many lunatics are gonna be out and about in Chicago, especially and uh Milwaukee.
You never know.
Uh, but I really want to go.
I I do appreciate it, and I'm very keto friendly.
I love steak.
I love meat, and and that's the biggest part of my diet.
So uh Mark, thank you so much for the idea, and everybody else that's gone online to tell us where to eat.
When I travel, that's the only thing I care about.
Linda can confirm this.
If I land at three in the morning in the South Anywhere.
I'm like, where's the nearest Waffle House?
First thing I want to do.
True or false, Linda.
Absolutely.
And how annoying is it to you, because you don't like Waffle House.
I don't like anything fast food.
Period.
It's not fast.
Well, it is fast.
It's actually super fast.
It's scary fast.
I've never seen people make waffles and eggs that fast.
Okay.
Well, that's what they do for a living.
They're pros at it.
I mean, you could you can't mess up making eggs.
You really can't.
You can.
And they don't have to.
You can make scrambled eggs too runny and too wet.
You can make it where you do over easy, and it's not.
You can make it the way you want to make it.
You can ask for them wet and runny.
People like it like that.
Some people like to do it.
I don't know anyone who likes that.
Who likes that?
Who likes the money?
My father used to like egg sunny side eye.
He would take an uh a can of corn beef hash and put a uh a sunny side up egg on it.
Right, but a sunny side up egg is not the same thing as like runny scrambled eggs.
That's gross.
He thought Dinty Moore's beef stew was like a gourmet meal.
Well, let's be honest, it is delicious.
It's not bad.
I'm not kidding.
I'm like, listen, you can argue a lot of things.
The canned corn beef hash used to make me vomit.
I can't take it.
I like corn beef hash from back in the day, I'm not gonna lie.
In a canned?
Yeah, my grandfather likes to eat.
Nobody loves corn beef more than me, but out of a no, no, no.
This it's so wrong.
It's so wrong.
You might as well.
Listen, when you're broke as a joke, you take corn beef any way you can get it.
Listen, I was broke as a joke, and I used to make meatloaf for like an entire week, and I love my meatloaf.
I make the best meatloaf you've ever had in your life.
Ever.
Loved it.
Lived off it.
And uh was happy to do it.
He used to get like cheap, you know, pasta's cheap.
You know, throw throw a little fake butter on it, you're good to go.
Uh all right, to our phones we go.
Lance is in New Joycey.
What's up, Lance?
How are you, sir?
Hey, uh, thanks for taking my call, Sean.
And it's uh Galloway Zoo jersey, just so you know.
Uh the reason I'm calling is when yesterday's uh breaking uh report from Clooney about his uh request to let Joe Biden like bow out, and then today's outstanding uh hypocritical oath uh editorial was uh oh over the top,
and that's what you get from a real uh a low uh a lowercase B actor that you have to have a script maker like Obama, who's the puppeteer of puppeteers, continue to do this.
But I just like I told Katie, I suspect all these Hollywood ice are like wannabe special people.
They look down on us like we're little, you know, the deplorables or little.
They don't care.
They're so full of hypocrisy, they gag on themselves.
And it's just uh I just find it really uh such a sarcastic slap in the face to Joe Biden, even though he's been a vegetable and uh I don't know.
I guess with the Obamas and everybody controlling what's behind uh Biden in his Tower of Babel.
That's all it is, is uh their favorite vegetable, which has got to be leaks.
Anyway.
Look, I I operation Dump Joe, Crush Joe is in full force, and it as I suspected yesterday that this is all Obama driven.
But Obama doesn't have the guts to get out there and lead the effort on his own.
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call.
Uh and and you know, uh this is just you know the latest what's so frustrating, if there's any frustrating part, and Portnoy said it better than I did.
Everybody's known he's a vegetable.
Or I've been saying a cognitive wreck, cognitive mess.
But everybody knows he was never up to that debate.
Why would you have a debate in June anyway?
It was a test.
They set him up.
He failed predictably, and here we are.
The only the only question is whether or not Joe agrees.
He may not agree.
We'll see what happens at that point.
You know, we'll see.
Talk about undermining democracy and the vote of the people.
Let's see how far Democrats are willing to go.
Whether they'll they'll put pressure on all the delegates to switch their votes.
Quick break, right back.
More of your calls coming up, toll free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, don't forget Biden's press conference, 6 30 Eastern, 3 30 Pacific.
Uh we'll have full coverage on Hannity tonight.
Back to our busy phones we go.
Uh let's say hi to John in North Carolina.
John, how are you?
By the way, some dirty tricks going on in North Carolina.
I see pro Biden, North Carolina Democrats blocked RFK Jr. and Cornell West from the ballot uh with the Democratic majority, North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Uh Pretty uh pretty devious move on their part, my view.
Oh, it's it's Sean, how are you?
Happy July.
It's it's diabolical.
And that's that's why I believe, and I'm listening to your previous call.
This political democratic machine is going to stop at nothing.
And whether they fake it or not, right?
We'll hear of oh, something, something happened last night.
And they'll institute Kamala as the new figurehead president.
We will never see or hear from Biden's name or picture in the paper.
It's going to be like Elvis, right?
And the Democratic machine is going to work on all of those I think sympathy votes, the never Trumper votes, get in all the donations, and whomever it is that is running machine is going to script.
What I call Catalan Kamala.
Um very tightly held.
The delegates are going to decide at the caucus who's going to be on the top and bottom of that ballot.
And I think that's how it's going to go.
That Joe doesn't have the choice anymore.
Right now, according to the New York Times, Biden aids are poll testing Kamala, meaning they're polling, and her election chances against Trump.
Uh, and all of this, even Liberal Joe and Mika went ballistic over Obama's attempt to sabotage Joe's campaign.
Uh, all of this has been orchestrated by Barack Obama, who doesn't have the moral courage to come out and do it himself.
He signed, as I suspected yesterday, he signed off on George Clooney's New York Times column.
He is talk to Schumer and Pelosi.
I'd bet all every dollar I had and giving them the okay to push him out.
And right now, that is the operation, you know, you know, crush Joe, dump Joe, you know, kill off Joe politically speaking, of course, uh, is underway.
And it's all led by Democrats.
And and of course, these are the very people that have covered it up the whole time.
They've all known.
Every one of them have known.
It's not a surprise.
You know, Obama knew three weeks ago, he couldn't say anything.
George Clooney, same thing.
Uh anyway, appreciate the call, John.
Quickly, Grandy in Kentucky.
We have about a minute.
Randy, how are you?
Hey, great to talk to you again.
It's been a long, long time.
I wanted to share with you the ultimate theory on the Democrats and Biden specifically.
And that is the Democrats want and need Trump to win.
We've seen this before, Reagan Carter.
Trump can fix all the damage in a very short period of time.
They want and need that.
Because if they don't have that, they have a disaster on their hands, and it's non-fixable, and it goes worse than now, and they can't have that.
So I I disagree.
I they don't want they want to destroy Trump, and there's nothing that will stop them from any effort, any fair what doesn't matter.
You know, they the party that claims to care about people is undermining every Democratic primary voter.
Every person that made their way to the polls, every person that voted, they they're the last thought, you know, of the people that are making these decisions now.
They don't care.
All they care about, this has always been about the polls and Joe's losing.
If Joe was a cognitive mess and he was winning, they wouldn't care.
They hate Trump that much.
They think they're doing the will of God.
And here's what I also predict.
If if it's Kamala, whoever replaces Joe, if that happens and the odds are getting higher by the minute, that the polls are gonna come out showing that person crushing Donald Trump.
And it'll be viewed as the second coming of Jesus in terms of the media mob and the Democratic Party.
The same people that covered up and lied about Joe the whole time.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
