From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Hannity is on.
And thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Right down our toll-free telephone number as we come to you day four RNC convention.
We are in Milwaukee in beautiful Wisconsin, and the people have been amazing.
Tonight is the night that Donald Trump speaks.
And uh it got every night it's been getting louder and a little more electric inside of the building where we're doing Hannity.
And we're just having a great time.
Honestly, meeting all the people here.
They have been amazing.
We're now a mere hundred and nine days away until election day.
We are just 60 days away from early voting, beginning in the state of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and then other states roll out thereafter.
And we don't even know whether or not Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic candidate.
We don't know.
Operation Dump and Destroy Joe, as I affectionately refer to it, is in full force.
Apparently, Democrats now saying that Biden got irritated and he lashed out after House Democrats told him he was dragging them down to feet.
It's an NBC news report.
Now I don't know whether you can believe anything.
I mean, these are the same people saying that very real unedited videos of Joe were cheap fake videos, and they weren't cheap fake videos in any way, shape, matter, or form.
But anyway, in the past few days, Biden has started to privately convey a new message.
The conversation about my future is over, and I'm getting irritated that you're not realizing that.
And he's called several prominent allies individually to help them spread the word.
And in Detroit, if you remember last week, telling a large effusive crowd, you've made me the nominee, no one else, not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not the donors.
And I'm not going anywhere.
In private calls with Democrats, and we're finding out this took place Saturday.
It probably would have been public had we not had the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
By the way, Donald Trump Jr. will be on the program tonight.
I don't know who did better.
JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., or Donald Trump Jr.'s daughter.
What a rock star.
Apparently an amazing golfer, top golf recruit for colleges all across the country.
But in private, anyway, he made clear that he finds the continued conversation about whether to remain in the race exasperating.
Stay positive.
You're sounding defensive.
He was handed a note by an aide during this call with members of Congress.
It's like when he's reading a prompter.
And Sergeant Sergeant, and that's what I say.
Pause.
You're not supposed to read the word pause in the prompter.
Uh typical Biden moment.
We'll we'll play some of his greatest hits later.
Stay as because he read stay positive, you're sounding defensive.
You know, Zay hand it hands that to him.
And anyway, he actually reads it because he thought he was they were giving him words to read.
Here, Joey, here's the words.
Sit, greet guests.
Joey walked to the podium.
I'm using Linda's language.
Good Joey, good little Joey.
You're so good.
We're gonna give you ice cream tonight before you go nappy poo at night night.
Um, you know, I used to make fun of it, and then I realized how serious it was.
This is all a crock to begin with, and I can't say this enough.
You know, this is one of the Speaker Johnson's right, it's one of the biggest cover-ups in American history.
And you know, if it's ever Kamala Harris, she is the person that is most responsible for covering it up.
And that will be a campaign issue if she is ever there.
But anyway, Biden now says he'd be willing to drop out under one condition.
This is back to the New York Times piece we identified yesterday that he would reevaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly he had a medical condition that made it necessary.
And then it got released later in the day that he has COVID.
Well, I don't think the COVID diagnosis, the current variant is not particularly strong or virulent, it's not killing people like the Alpha uh variant killed a lot of people.
Um but we are learning that we've been lied to an awful lot about COVID and about the shot and about a lot of things, as we've been chronicling fairly regularly here.
In an interview with Ed Gordon over BET, Biden was asked if there was anything that would make him reevaluate staying in the in the race.
He said if I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody of doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem.
Again, he's sticking to that story.
But now the pressure is mounting even more.
Let me say this.
And I made this point in my monologue last night on Hannity from the RNC convention.
Replacing Biden, you want to talk about the people that have been lecturing about democracy in peril.
They're the same party that tried to keep Donald Trump off the ballot.
They're the same party now that has no problem, and this is the elites, the Washington elites, the Hollywood elites, the donor class within the Democratic Party.
They're the ones that don't give a flying rats.
You know what, whether or not their vote is disenfranchised or not.
By the way, it was painful watching Joe Biden walk off or walk up even the little boy stairs of Air Force One yesterday, but he had COVID and COVID.
Most people I know that have COVID don't walk upstairs like that and pause.
Good Joey, one step after another.
But all none of this is new.
We've been pointing this out for four long years.
But they're perfectly willing to claim that democracy is in peril, and they are the ones that are putting it in peril.
They're the ones that are using lawfare.
They're the ones that have no problem weaponizing the Justice Department.
No problem.
No, no Democrat.
By the way, where's Democrat?
Where have Democratic voices been about the failure of the Secret Service?
They have been eerily silent on this.
Why is that?
You would think they'd be outraged because if they can go after one primary, this case Donald Trump, that means they can go after anybody.
But of course, they were the same people that lied about the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails, as I often remind you.
Of course, where's Liz Cheney when you need her?
She didn't want to investigate those riots.
And I mean, they're just such hypocrites and billions in property damage.
But the people that actually went to the polls, they don't give a damn about those people.
They don't care.
And let me try me follow this logic of the left.
He's fit to he's not fit to run for re-election, but he's fit to serve as president now.
I don't think so.
You know, you would be invoking if you truly believe that, and this wasn't about winning an election.
You'd be invoking the 25th amendment to our constitution.
So it's either both or Neither.
This is about the election.
It's about power.
Don't let anything kid you.
Because they've known about the cognitive decline.
They've covered it up.
And then he becomes pretty much a useful idiot and does whatever they want.
That's why the squad and AOC and the con the Congressional Black Caucus, very powerful groups, they kind of like Joe there because Joe supports them and has been implementing their radical agenda.
But to be very frank, it doesn't matter if anybody were to replace him, because they'd be implementing the same open borders, the same bad economic policies, the same insanity of no bail, defund, dismantle, reimagining the police,
the same ridiculous foreign policy as it relates to America's role in the world and and they don't want to be America to be seen as an imperialist nation which allows rogue dictators to run wild and sucking up and kissing the ass of Iranian mullas and giving pipelines to Vladimir Putin and of course letting China pick it even fly a supply balloon over our military installations with no consequences.
But we're watching now the Democratic National Committee, the again, the elites, not the rank and file people.
They're trying to push back Biden's nomination as this conversation is taking place because while we've been here in Mil Milwaukee, to quote Linda or Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as a normal person would say.
I'm going to be so bored next week.
What are you going to tease me about?
About everything else that you do.
Oh, all right.
You know, we did have a little bit of a reality check.
Linda, you know, do you think that you are abrupt?
What is up with you in this word today?
You are obsessed with the word abrupt.
Do you think you are a prep with people?
No, I think I'm direct and clear and concise.
Okay, one way to spin it.
You sound like a liberal.
No, I sound like a Republican because only a Republican can give it to you straight.
The Democratic National Committee pushing back because they've been planning all week.
They've had all their rules meetings virtually, and then the plan was to have a virtual nomination.
Anyway, after the the now that you've got all these aids.
Now there is one article out that Mike Allen uh over at uh Axios is writing.
We increasingly hear top Biden aides, including ones who initially urged him to fight on after the debate with Donald Trump twenty-one days ago, and now saying uh when, not if Biden announces that he is not running.
Multi multiple Democrats speaking anonymously.
And there's a report, yet he's asking the question do you think Kamala can win?
I have some polling numbers that indicate she's doing far worse in important swing states than Joe Biden is.
I wonder if that will factor into his thinking.
But the person that is leading this coup, because this really is the Democratic elitist, media mob establishment, uh Hollywood leftist, Marxist elitist, money donor elitist coup against the people in the Democratic Party.
They don't care about the rank and file.
But they've never cared about him.
And now you have Obama telling allies that Biden needs to consider seriously consider his viability.
Uh that was in the Washington Post and in recent days, but we knew that Obama was leading the effort when George Clooney first came out because they're best buddies.
Clooney's that ignoramus that, of course, with his wife, uh, want to bring uh Prime Minister Netanyahu up on what call him a war criminal for daring to defend himself in what would have been the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans in a day rather than stand firmly behind their ability to win their war against radical Islamic terrorists.
Uh I just have a question for George and his wife.
I'd like to know what part of murder and rape and kidnapping and torture and beheadings that his ignorant Hollywood ass doesn't understand.
Enough to meet him in person.
Wonder if I can set up a meeting.
Biden leaves Air Force One, heads on home.
Did anyone notice he didn't have a mask on?
Where was the precious mask that everybody wear a mask?
Of course, like everything else they told you about COVID, it ended up being a lie.
We now know that yeah, it was created in a lab.
We now know that uh, yeah, they knew more.
What did the Former CDC director Redfield say, yeah, um, we we're noticing and we've known for some time, and it really wasn't well publicized, even though we should have publicized it.
That in fact, um, yeah, it's causing issues involving the heart and clotting and myocarditis and blah blah blah.
All the things that our doctors told you were happening on this program and on Hannity.
Um, reports that Chucky Schumer.
He's such a gutless wonder.
You know, he was just he just hung in there in the middle as long as he could.
That now Schumer, according to reports by five following the congenital liar yesterday, Adam Schiff and and Hakeem Jeffrey's now putting pressure on Biden.
They've all gotten their talking points from Obama.
You know, I love this.
C ANS Van Jones.
Let me play this for you.
Painting a bleak pic picture for Democrats.
A bullet couldn't stop Trump, a virus just stop Biden.
Listen.
There are a lot of people who want Biden to stay in.
I want to just keep pointing out, there's still grassroots love for Joe Biden to everything.
Everybody doesn't agree.
But today is a terrible day.
Uh if you if you just if you pull back and look at this thing, strength versus weakness, a bullet couldn't stop Trump.
A virus just stopped Biden.
You've got the nominees of this party getting their butts kissed.
Biden's getting his butt kicked by his own party.
The Democrats are coming apart.
The Republicans are coming together.
That's what's happening.
And at some point, this party has to look at the reality of that.
Let me tell you something to these elites they haven't figured out yet.
It's gonna be a lot of angry Democratic voters.
A lot of them.
They're gonna feel like they've been betrayed.
That's coming.
Um, and regardless if they are to replace him, nothing will change.
The same radical, leftist, Marxist, socialist, new Green Deal policies, weakness on the world stage, you know, forcing EVs in your driveway.
It all continues.
Open borders continues, bad economic policies continue, weak on crime policies all continue.
All right, as we uh continue, we're in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
How do you say it, Linda?
Milwaukee.
Milwaukee.
How do you say it, Sean?
Milwaukee with Milky World.
Milwaukee.
I don't remember.
I haven't my steak sandwiches are Milwaukee.
You know what you're not good at at all?
You can't do impressions.
I didn't say it could.
You're trying.
Milwaukee.
That is how they say I don't say Milwaukee.
So tell me how you say it.
Milwaukee.
How do you say it?
Milwaukee.
Uh-huh.
Hear your AU in there?
How's it sound?
It doesn't sound like Milwaukee.
That's what it doesn't sound like.
That's because you've been in Florida for lost.
All right.
Well, we have Don Jr.
By the way, Megan McCain wants to speak out about the assassination attempt on Trump.
I think she'll surprise you coming up.

Come on, man.
It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing.
I had to become president.
Joe Biden, the most dangerous man in America.
This is the John Annity Show.
Hello, America.
I'm Christy Chamblin, my daughter-in-law, Sergeant Nicole Leanne G. United States Marine.
And she was killed at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan, alongside 12 of her brothers and sister in arms.
While Joe Biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice, Donald Trump spent six hours in Bedminster with us.
He allowed us to grieve.
He allowed us to remember our heroes.
Donald Trump knew all of our children's names.
He knew their stories.
And he spoke to us in a way that made us feel understood.
Like he knew our kids.
Donald Trump carried the weight for a few hours with me.
Yeah.
And for the first time since Nicole's death, I felt I wasn't alone in my grief.
Thank you.
I had expected to meet an arrogant politician.
Instead, I met a man who had empathy for us.
He was compassionate, and he spent time with us because he knew it would make us feel better.
Thank you, President Trump.
I'm Alicia Lopez, and this is my husband, Herman.
Our son, Corporal Hunter Lopez, whose name Joe Biden has refused to say out loud, was killed on August 26, 2021.
He died during Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hunter was 22 years old and planned to come home to California after his tour to follow in our footsteps.
Herman and I work for the Riverside County Sheriff's Office.
And our family has a tradition of service in law enforcement.
Hunter was excited to carry it on.
Instead, in the nearly three years since Hunter's been gone, there has been silence.
Silence from that empty space at the dinner table where Hunter would have joined his brothers and sister and us for family gatherings.
And there has been a deafening silence from the Biden and Harris administration.
Despite our pleas for answers and accountability, they have pushed us away and tried to silence us.
The Biden administration has not owned up to the bad decisions.
They have not been transparent about their failures.
And their so-called leaders work to protect themselves rather than our sons and daughters who took the oath to defend our country.
Those were powerful moments last night, night three at the RNC.
And uh the first cut you heard was from Christy Chamberlain, a gold star mom of Sergeant Nicole G, who died at Abbey Gate during Afghanistan, and during that disastrous withdrawal, 13 in total died.
Talks about meeting Donald Trump after her daughter was killed.
And the last woman you heard was Alicia Lopez, another gold star mom of Corporal Hunter Lopez, who died at Abbey Gate during the disaster of this Afghanistan withdrawal, but Joe said no troops died since he's been president.
Yeah, they did.
And they died because of his horrific policies.
And he never took the time to call.
Remember that he we he when they were received the bodies coming back, he's looking at his watch.
Oh, he's not looking at his watch.
That's the deep fake video.
We were hearing that just a month ago, as this big lie and cover-up about Joe's cognitive state has has continued on and on and on, and it still does.
Our prayers are with all these families.
How do you ever overcome that?
I don't think you do.
And then you can add to all of this one other thing.
His disastrous policies on the border.
We had a 13-year-old girl with her f with a friend, but she was raped in broad daylight in a park in Queens, New York.
And it was even videotaped by an unvetted Joe Biden, the illegal immigrant.
We had a 12-year-old girl brutalized in Texas for two hours.
I interviewed a mother and I interviewed her grandfather.
And then they murdered this girl.
13 years old.
She fought back.
How does a 12-year-old girl fight back and bite them and scratch them and fight that hard?
I don't know any 12-year-old girl that's capable of that.
And she did.
You know, fighting for her life.
And did Joe Biden ever pick up the phone and call any of these families?
No.
Did she ever call?
I've I've spoken to these families.
I've spoken to Lake and Riley's family, and Joe Biden never called them.
Donald Trump called all these families.
I think I think Donald Trump, as a matter of fact, is planning to attend the funeral of the hero fire fighter that was killed during the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And anyway, this is when this assassin Matthew Crooks, and we're going to get into the Secret Service failures.
By the way, Don Jr. is joining us today.
We're also going to be checking in.
Megan McCain is is outraged over how the media has covered up for Biden, outraged over the assassination attempt, outraged over the media's coverage.
Um, so she'll check in with us.
We'll also check in with security experts uh as well.
And and and we need an outside investigation.
They cannot investigate this internally, especially with a Secret Service director that says, Oh, yeah, the bug stops with me, but I'm not going anywhere.
Really?
You're responsible for this.
They're responsible.
130 yards.
They keep saying, well, it was outside the perimeter, and that was up to local police.
No, it's not up to local police.
That is not their job.
That's a job of the Secret Service.
Oh, yeah, we did know that that building was a threat, but it had a slight slope to it.
You look at the building, and I used to be I fell off a roof three stories.
I know what roofing is all about.
I I understand pitch on a roof.
And uh let's say let's put it this way.
I was nearly at a you know 90 degrees straight down angle.
I was still on that roof, and I could stay on there if it didn't start hailing that day, I wouldn't have fallen head first.
I I did good things came out of it.
It busted up my arm, dislocated it, broke all my teeth.
I thought I had survived all my hockey years with my teeth intact.
That didn't work out well.
And but the other thing is I hit the ground and I, you know, some sense got knocked into me and I became a conservative instantaneously.
Uh first thing I said when I went no, I'm kidding.
That that part didn't happen.
You know, you've got to protect your biggest investment, and for most people, that's their homes.
You know, how many of us have had the misery of getting up on a ladder to clean out dirty gutters and muck and mud and old leaves?

You know, it might actually help your backsliding if in fact if we've been going into this whole and I feel bad because I call I wrote Linda last night, 12 or 1 o'clock, what did I write?
I said, oh, Don Jr.'s in for tomorrow, and you write back, oh well, no problem.
I said, uh sorry to disturb you.
You wrote, you know, no problem.
I'm in the middle of my Bible study.
I'm like, and I we had this big discussion yesterday about you kind of Yeah, go ahead.
Tell tell them what you told me.
Go ahead.
That you were backsliding.
Okay, and then I said I was I felt bad to interrupt.
The good book, you don't get to rewrite it.
You gotta just don't bank.
Yeah, I did say that actually.
And I'm like, you know what?
It's one in the morning.
I'm going back to my Bible before I say something I don't want to say.
But I need to remember the words of Jesus on the cross.
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
You know, you know, what what are the rules?
You you follow the master.
Yeah, listen, every day I say the same thing to God.
Listen, I know I didn't do my best today.
I'm gonna do better tomorrow.
I'm real sorry.
Uh I'm doing the best I can, and he's like, Yeah, I made you.
I know what's going on.
I get it.
No worries.
You know, do your best.
And that's it.
Only God could make a metaphysical force like this.
That's all I can say.
Uh 800-941 Sean of the.
By the way, speaking of the roof, have you seen the cow on the roof?
This is going on.
Oh, I did see that.
Oh my God.
Talk about funny.
Oh my word.
No, that's pretty funny.
Uh, we'll get into this with Don Jr. at the top of the hour.
Republican senators, and we got the tape of this.
Uh, Marsha Blackburn and I believe it was Senator John Barrasso.
Uh, anyway, meeting and uh basically confronting the Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle.
Now, what's funny is Joe Biden was asked, did you speak with the Secret Service Director?
And uh his answer was, yeah, I spoke to him.
Is it acceptable that you've still not heard, at least publicly from the Secret Service Director?
Oh, I've heard from them.
Publicly.
Publicly.
I've sat down in a situation room downstairs.
Secret Service, the FBI, the National Security Agencies.
I spoke to him.
Not a him, Joe.
Anyways, Blackburn, Barrasso, and Lankford, here's what happened.
It was an assassination.
No shame.
No concern.
It's a bunch of the paper.
I'm going to tell you this.
It's an answer to us.
This is exactly that's you owe nothing.
You are president of the Trump, answer me.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
You can keep running where you cannot fight from all of you.
You're the people in the United States.
You're the head of the streets of services.
You owe answers.
The house to The president, the past president, and you are answered to the president.
The president should have this for the text.
Wow, that's not an answer.
So, and these are senators.
That's how pissed off everybody should be.
There are no Democrats asking any questions about this.
Why is that?
You would think they would care about the protection of elected officials, just like most of the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 were mostly peaceful.
Barrasso called the Secret Service conference a hundred percent a cover your ass briefing.
And now they're under fire, but it wasn't the rank and file.
Those guys around President Trump, they did their job.
That's not where the problem came in.
They had identified this guy as a suspect and a threat, and they knew he had a range finder, like you would use on a golf course.
So you would look, okay, 130 yards, you adjust your sights, boom, you're ready to roll.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable.
Biden, according to the Wall Street Journal, that RFK apparently isn't the only Biden opponent who's been denied Secret Service protection for clearly political reasons because he's denied, failed to provide security to Robert O'Brien, the former national security advisor in the Trump White House, despite behind the scenes pressure from lawmakers and what they describe a continued continued threats against his life.
And you know, on top of all of this, don't forget in the weeks leading up to this assassination attempt, Iran they had human source intelligence that in fact stated that they planned to assassinate Donald Trump.
And I am told by my sources that in the next week next number of weeks, we are going to be hearing that in fact the Trump team has been asking for extra Secret Service protection, and they have been denied repeatedly.
Now, look, I I don't really talk about myself much in this regard.
Um, yeah, I've had white powder mailed to me over the years.
Um, really?
You you did you just you know what?
Don't say it on the air.
That's all I can say.
What Linda just you know, she mouthed to me.
Don't stop, don't go there.
It's not like the investigation into the White House.
Ten full days of investigative work, how cocaine got into the White House.
We still, after a thorough investigation, we're never gonna be able to determine where that came from.
I have a couple of thoughts where it might have come from.
Just I don't know, just suspicion.
What do I know?
I'm just a mere talk show host.
Um, but they knew that this guy, he was there scoping this place out an hour before we have the video tape of that.
They identified him as having had a rangefinder, they identified him as a suspect.
Then they lost track of them.
