Pursuant to Rule 40-D of the rules of the Republican Party, I formally declare President Donald J. Trump and JD Vance as the Republican nominees for President and Vice President of the United States.
You won't answer the question, but why didn't the press talk about all the lies he told?
I didn't think about that.
We have reported many of the issues that we've had debate.
No, you haven't.
We'll provide you with them.
Oh, God, love you.
Okay.
The clock is ticking.
T-minus 109 days until America votes.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a conscious song.

All right, news roundup and information overload hour toll-free are telephone numbers 800-941-Sean.
If you want to join us as we broadcast live, it's day four.
We're at the RNC.
We are in Milwaukee.
We're in Wisconsin, or as Linda says, Milwaukee.
But the people here have been extraordinarily nice.
The food is amazing.
And, you know, when you think about where we came from on Saturday, this week may not have happened.
It's hard to imagine in this day and age.
And I get angrier by the minute as we learn more about what a colossal failure it has been in terms of securing a primary, as they call it, or in this case, former president and the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, presumptive nominee.
That would be Donald Trump.
It just is so outrageous.
Now, the Democratic Party on the other end of the spectrum, they're just in complete chaos.
There is a full court press.
You have Barack Obama.
You have Nancy Pelosi.
You have Chuck Schumer.
You have Hakeem Jeffries.
You have the Hollywood coastal elites, the Washington elites, the money people all trying to push Joe out, acting as though his cognitive decline is new and shocking and surprising.
And they never saw it before the debate with Donald Trump, you know, just a couple of weeks ago.
And meanwhile, even before the 2020 election, we were pointing out how physically weak and frail Joe Biden is and how he was in a steep cognitive decline.
It's gotten worse, but it has been obvious and transparent for anybody with eyes to see.
Quick reminder, some of the greatest hits.
President of the United States, Joe Biden!
Happy Independence Day!
Imagine what we can do next.
Four more years.
I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit and not say what I'm really thinking.
There's some movement.
There's been a response from the response from the opposition.
But yes, I'm sorry.
Approved from Hamas.
The political coverage of the look of the political players and some of the Let me ask a rhetorical question Now,
regardless if somebody replaces him or not, the policies will remain the same, and the policies have failed all of you listening to me.
109 days until Election Day, 60 days until early voting begins in the Commonwealth, in the state of Pennsylvania.
And here we are.
But this has been, as Speaker Johnson has called it, the biggest cover-up, one of the biggest cover-ups in American history.
They've all known about this steep cognitive decline.
They've all lied.
They've all covered it up.
Every Democrat, everyone in the state-run media mob.
We welcome to the program Megan McCain, daughter of the late Senator John McCain.
And, you know, it's great to have you back, by the way.
We've always had a friendly relationship over the years.
And I felt so sorry for you, by the way, when you were on the view.
That had to have been like a traumatic experience for you.
Well, first of all, Sean, thank you so much for having me back.
And you have been so kind to me throughout my whole career for so long.
You're such a gentleman.
You're the nicest man in media.
Everybody always says that.
So thank you for having me on.
And yes, you know, the view is a double-edged story because it was like an amazing platform to, you know, talk about my beliefs.
And then the flip side is, you know, I worked with like the most heinous women in all of television.
So it goes both ways.
I'm very happy to not be there anymore.
Yeah, I used to go on that show before you had been on it.
And I finally just said, this is a waste of my time.
I mean, I had a big fight with like Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters couldn't stop it.
And I wasn't going to stop.
And it's just a waste of time.
But you're watching what's unfolding.
And I read comments in an interview you had given.
And I was very interested in what you had to say.
And I wanted to give you an opportunity to explain what you think about Joe's cognitive decline, where we are as a country and where we're headed and how it relates to President Trump.
So I haven't spoken with President Biden in almost four years, a little over, actually.
And I've been public about this.
This isn't a secret.
After he had helped my family with my dad when he was dying, because my dad had the same brain cancer his son died of, they asked me to come and endorse him at the convention in 2020.
And I said no, because I'm conservative and I'm Republican, and also because I had like just very serious concerns about what he was going to be like as a president just then.
I sort of had like little glimmers into what the American public is now seeing now about his temper and that maybe like he wasn't the friendly Joe that I had just had this one very specific experience with.
So ever since that moment, I was completely banished from anything in Biden world at all.
I haven't talked to him or his staff in over four years.
So when there are these leaks coming out, particularly about like Gold Star families and how he's speaking to veterans, I'm not surprised because I actually found his team in particular to be like very vengeful and very like insulated.
And I think all people who reach the level of being president are arrogant, but arrogant in a level that just seems like delusional.
And then when it comes to his health, I mean, look, you know, because you work in the same industry I do, there have been rumors about what has been going on with him for years.
I heard a crazy rumor that I actually don't want to repeat on your ear because I don't want either of us to get sued if it isn't true, but it came from a very reliable source about an incident that happened in the White House last October around my birthday.
It was just, I was like, this cannot stay a secret.
This will not stay a secret because you cannot hide someone who is that infirm from the American public.
And if I just say one more thing, my dad died of brain cancer.
I know exactly what cognitive decline in someone's brain looks like.
And there are certain signals that anyone who has helped an aging relative or anyone with any kind of brain cognitive decline, there are physical signals that you can tell after you've been through it that he is showcasing right now.
I think he's much more sick than they're letting on.
I think he's been much more sick for a long time.
And I think it's like, as you were just saying, I think it has reached the level of larger than Watergate scandal.
And when the dust settles, I think there should be hearings and investigations about it.
And anyone who has been in the White House, including our First Lady, who has covered up and lied to the American public to this extent, there should be ramifications for why is a doctor that specializes in Parkinson's going to the White House eight times in the past year?
It doesn't make any sense.
We all know the reason why.
You know, if you look at, for example, yeah, the family and the people around them, they remember they hit him in his basement in 2020.
There was a reason why.
We knew and we saw a lot of signs.
There was a lot of evidence of cognitive decline even back then.
And it was not a secret.
And now they're talking about trying to pressure him and replace him, although he still has all the delegates.
And it'll be interesting to see if he gives into that pressure.
It seems to might be opening a window a little bit.
I think it's a possibility.
I have no idea what the odds are.
The policies would remain the same.
It would still be open borders.
It would still be, you know, hostility towards energy dominance and independence.
It would still be defund, dismantle, no bail laws and reimagine the police.
It would still be economic policies that are not working for the American people.
And it would be a foreign policy that does not believe that America should be the leader of the free world and the most dominant military force on the face of the earth, something I know that your father believed dearly in.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, and on top of that, I mean, if there's nothing that the left has shown us the past four years, I mean, this is a violent party.
This is a party that will let your cities and your communities be burned to the ground, and it's fine.
They will let you come to your college campuses, and it's perfectly fine to harass Jewish students, make them feel unsafe on college campuses.
This is the party of extreme abortion up to nine months.
They say it to their face.
And I'm sorry if it doesn't take someone who does what you and I do for a living to know that putting Vice President Harris up would be an even bigger disaster than President Biden.
She is a ultimate mothership of hardcore progressive San Francisco values.
I fear all of it.
But I think the American public, I honestly, I mean, right now, I just think in conjunction with obviously the almost great tragedy of the attempted assassination of President Trump, combined with his choice of vice presidential candidate, combined with how much the left has been lying to us about President Biden's health.
And by the way, I keep, I think Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, the entire Democratic coalition who has lied to us, to our face about his health because they've had meetings with him.
They should be held accountable as well.
The American public sees this.
I don't want to get too far ahead of my skis, but I just think this election.
By the way, my whole team here were in Milwaukee.
They're all shaking their head like amen at every word they're saying.
Well, I mean, I'm honestly, you know, Sean, I'm pissed off.
You've known me a really long time.
I hope I can say that on your show.
You can say whatever you want on my show.
I don't give a flying Adam shift.
Okay, thank you.
But like, I'm a mother.
I have two young girls, and I was pregnant during COVID.
And when I was pregnant, my neighborhood and where I live in Virginia and where I worked in D.C. was annihilated during the George Flood protest.
And I will never forget having to leave my home and go someplace else because I was fearful of what could have possibly happened to me when I was pregnant.
I will never forgive it.
I will never forgive the lockdowns.
I see who they are.
And I've been radicalized just like every other mother has by the left over the past four years.
I've always been conservative, but right now, I don't think the American public, I don't think us as a nation, I don't think we can withstand four more years of Democrats in power.
I really, really worry.
I put something on my social media last week showing a receipt that I got from a girlfriend of a grocery bill that she had in 2020 with the exact same amount of food, and now the bill in 2024.
Do you want to know the difference?
$100.
And now that's the same thing that cannot go, cannot go on summer vacation this summer because of it.
Cannot go on summer vacation.
And Kareem Jean-Pierre has the audacity to go in front of the American public and tell us everything is fine and inflation is no problem and jobs are great.
The American public are not stupid people.
They're highly intelligent.
And I just, I'm here to tell you that I just, I think that this is over and I think they've gotten so far out over their skis and they are a party of Marxism and fascism and violence and long-term abortion.
And I think the American public sees it for what it is, truly.
All right, quick break more with Megan McCain on the other side.
Will she be supporting Donald Trump?
I'll ask her that.
We'll get to your calls next half hour as well.
800-941-Sean is on number.
All right, we continue now with Megan McCain, who's with us.
Let me ask you this, because, you know, your family's history with Donald Trump is what it is.
So my question is, based on everything you're saying, do you put that aside?
Do you support Donald Trump?
So I have thought about this a lot, and I really still think I'm still writing in because my loyalty will always be to my dad.
And it is, I was, as you know, because you knew my dad, and I know, you know, me as well.
Your dad was no, you know, wallflower either.
Let's be honest.
Your dad was pretty rough, too.
He was a hardcore guy himself.
You know what?
I wish I had anyone, if I came on the show and said I'm supporting President Trump and I'm voting for him, people would think I was a psycho.
I was extremely close to my family.
My loyalty, like I think everyone, your loyalty is always first to your family.
You know, I have a giant painting of my dad in my living room when we first walk in.
I tell my daughters every morning about who he was.
You know, for me, I just, I would have to need an apology from the Trump family or from Trump's that was genuine.
I was really looking forward to it.
I actually like everything I have been told, by the way, through a friend and Senator Cruz and people saying that since this brush with real death with President Trump, that he is changed, that there's a lot of indication that he's a changed person.
Maybe there can be some kind of peace between our families.
I know just for like my heart and soul, I would love absolutely nothing more for this feud to just be put away.
That doesn't mean like we can all let, you know, I can forgive and forget so easily, but I would just like it to end.
I also think this is honestly very petty small things in regards to what is so serious going on in the country.
You know, of course, I've had really like fiery things to say about President Trump.
He's had things to say about me, but that he was almost shot and almost died, you know, a few days ago.
And the idea that we're at this place in the country where anyone would think that was acceptable and you have like entertainers like Jack Black and his band saying that they wish that, you know, the shooter had hit.
I mean, we're in a very dangerous, dark time.
Yes, and by the way, he was.
But it was like that in 16.
I mean, you know, I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House and when's the last time an actor, you know, assassinated a president and all that came up.
I actually like the idea and maybe I can help arrange that.
I just am out of time, but we'd love to have you come back.
You're always welcome on the show and we'd love to have you on TV as well.
And I'm glad you're doing so well and my best to your mom also.
Thank you so much.
And seriously, to all your listeners, I have known John, I've known you so long.
You are the kindest man.
Oh, boy.
Boy, I'm blessed.
I don't deserve any of this.
Stop.
Don't listen to her.
No, go ahead.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful day.
I'm kidding.
My team's like, okay, stop, but go ahead.
Don't stop.
No, I didn't mean that.
You know, we've always had a very good relationship.
You're extremely talented.
I don't think I ever felt worse for you than when you had to sit on that awful show.
Good grief.
And you did a great job, but who wants to ever sit through that?
Well, can I tell you, I actually, I have heard rumors that there might actually be finally ramifications for some of the language and things that have been done on that show after the election, because maybe there are actually people at ABC News that understand that conservative women, and yes, even MAGA, Trump-supporting women, deserve representation on shows like that.
And I actually think there might be some changes coming, but that's just a rumor I understand.
But Whoopi doesn't care if Joe poops his pants and can't utter a word, and she's still voting for him.
So, I mean, and I've always gotten along with Whoopi, too.
But, Megan, we appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
God bless you, and we'll talk soon.

Sean Hannity.
Always concerned for our country.
Always honoring our servicemen and service women.
And standing up for liberty every day.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls here in a minute.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we saw what happened on October 7th in Israel, the worst terror attack in the history.
Based on their population size versus ours, it would have been the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans.
And the death, the destruction, the displacement of people, it's unbelievable.
Now, for more than 40 years, there's a great group out there.
It's called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They have been on the ground.
They were there before this terror attack within hours of the war starting.
They've been there every day since, helping to feed people, protect the vulnerable, help the displaced.
And the attacks continue out of the north, out of Lebanon with Hezbollah, and out of the south with Hamas and out of Gaza.
But there are resilient survivors that are now bravely sharing their stories that the IFCJ is calling the faces of iron.
People like Danny, his family burned alive on October the 7th by Hamas terrorists, radical Islamic terrorists.
You know, Joe gave up and surrendered in the war on terrorism.
Anyway, Danny is the commander of the volunteer fire and rescue in his community.
He couldn't do a thing.
His daughter's house was burned to the ground, killing his daughter and her husband.
He couldn't help them.
The support of this audience and your generosity through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you're helping these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
You're helping the displaced.
You're helping feed the hungry.
And if you want to hear a lot more stories like this one, if you want to show your support for the people of Israel, please go to their website.
It's one word, supportifcj.org.
That's supportifcj.org.
You know, what's driving me now, part of me is torn on this, that I shouldn't call attention to the lunatic left.
I could tell you that nobody watches them anymore.
I mean, and if they replaced Joe, and I said this in the column when I took my week vacation over the 4th of July, which was the toughest vacation I ever took because there was so much going on.
However, between my family and friends, if I would have done it again, because I've done it, how many times, Linda?
Maybe, you know, cancel days off, vacations.
It's almost like.
You expected me to come back.
I really did.
If you take off, I know there's going to be breaking news.
It's terrible.
And and the victims of that over the years, unfortunately, I'm not complaining.
Don't misunderstand me.
The only one complaining about it.
You're allowed to complain.
No, but it was a very hard week for me.
So I took to writing, and you know how much I hate writing just to get out, you know, everything that was building up inside me.
And I did have radio engineers and TV cameras following me everywhere I went on vacation.
And my family was getting, and friends of mine were getting quite annoyed at that part.
Do they have to be everywhere we go?
And I'm like, yeah, God forbid something happens, right?
And then look what happens the week after.
This is why, you know, vacations get canceled.
Again, I'm not complaining.
And nobody's watching the left anymore.
They're sick of it.
They know they've been lied to.
They know they've been lied to, Russia Collusion.
They know they will lie to on FISA.
They know that they've been lied to about, and the double standard exists.
Have you noticed you don't hear much from the Democrats about, you know, the Secret Service failure and what happened last Saturday?
Why is that?
How come?
How come, you know, just a month ago it was called a cheap fake video if you showed a real unedited video of Joe.
How is it they accept a valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million when any rudimentary perusal of real estate in Palm Beach would show, yeah, no, you can get a lot on the ocean in Palm Beach, dirt for about two acres for $200 and million dollars, but Mar-a-Lago's $18 million?
Nobody in the media mob, no Democrats stood up and said, that's wrong.
They didn't say it was wrong, a legal NDA, very common.
I'd bet everything I had that Alvin Bragg's office has, you know, numerous NDAs.
Anyone ever asked them about that?
I'd like to know.
Inquiring minds want to know.
And they accept every double standard.
Yeah, we'll raid Mar-a-Lago, but we're not going to raid Joe's four places where he had top secret classified information.
You know, we're not going to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for top secret classified information on her servers.
We're not going to hold her accountable for subpoenaed emails deleted with bleach pit and devices destroyed with hammers.
We're not going to hold anybody accountable.
And people, I'm just sick and tired because these lies and the lies about Joe's cognitive state have been perpetrated by the left.
There is no surprise about Joe's cognitive decline.
These were never cheap fake videos, but they are the ones that protected Joe.
They lied for him.
They covered up for him.
It is a lie and cover-up of monumental and a historic proportion.
And now the push to get him out is, frankly, beyond laughable to me.
They talk about democracy imperil, but they tried to keep Trump off the ballot in states.
They talk about democracy imperiled, but now they're willing to disenfranchise every Democratic primary voter.
And of course, the attacks against JD Vance are just off the hook.
You know, let me, for example, play, I don't even know who this person, Alex Wagner, is.
Do you know who Alex Wagner?
Who's Alex Wagner?
Another liberal person.
Very liberal.
On MSDNC.
I don't know what network they're on.
Whatever.
Okay, so JD Vance wanting to be buried in the family plot is an Easter egg of white nationalism.
Now, I happen to know many people that, you know, when somebody dies, they end up buying a lot of plots in the same area so the family can be buried together.
How do you claim that's white nationalism?
Listen.
There was not the same red meat sort of blood and soil nationalism that you might hear in, I don't know, other parallel universe Republican conventions.
But I do think there were some sort of Easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech.
Goes on, he went a long sort of paragraph, at least about this plot in eastern Kentucky where his seven or six generations of his family are buried.
And his hope is that his wife and he are eventually laid to rest there and their kids follow them.
And I sort of understand the idea of sharing the burial plot, but it also reveals someone who believes that the history that the family should inherit, and indeed the history that should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vance's.
But in America, it doesn't always have to be the white male lineage that Trumps that defines the family history, that that branch of the tree supersedes all else.
And I just think the construction of this notion reveals a lot about someone who fundamentally believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity.
And it's couched in a sort of Halcyon revisitation of his roots, but it is actually really revealing about what he thinks matters and who America is.
And that America is a place for people with a shared Western background.
And that is the idea of America.
That is the nation of America that he wants to resurrect.
Unbelievable.
That's a common thing for families to be buried in the same era.
Very common.
Then you have Joyless Reed on MSTNC equating Donald Trump's near assassination within a millimeter or two with Joe Biden getting COVID for the third time.
Not quite the same, is it?
Listen.
These two men are both elderly.
Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo op during an active shooter situation.
Weird situation.
We'll figure that out one day.
But his survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength.
This current president of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID.
Should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn't that convey exactly the same thing?
That he's strong enough older than Trump to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age.
So if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly the same?
And then you have the leader over at MSTNC, the person that peddles more lies and conspiracy theories than anyone else in the media mob and state-run media.
And that is Rachel Maddow.
She's a great intellectual, if you listen to the left.
No, she's not.
She's nothing but a conspiracy theorist, liar, propagandist, provda.
And she's now talking with Jamie Harrison, supposedly joking, during the Gold Star segment of the RNC.
Can't make this up either.
We shall see.
The other thing I have to tell you is that we killed a break.
Who's it for MSF?
There is a person, a person, very special guest who would like to join in.
Actually, who would less like to join in on this conversation than probably anything else in his entire life?
But he is now going to join us.
He is our friend Jamie Harrison, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
You have stumbled into quite a conversation, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you so much for being here.
Rachel, I followed it intensely.
There's a reason why I don't have any hair.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
You've been so patient today.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Bob in Illinois.
Bob, hi.
How are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Welcome to Milwaukee, night number four, Donald Trump night here in the great state of Wisconsin.
What's going on?
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm a physician, and I've sat by for the last four years or more watching the credibility of our U.S. medical system be undermined by the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, Fauci.
Fauci's probably done more to undermine U.S. medical credibility than anybody in U.S. history.
And I guess what's frustrating is a physician is I sit and I watch my colleagues in the medical arena, and there's almost this universal reluctance to admit the obvious.
And what the obvious is, is that Joe Biden has dementia.
Joe Biden, if he doesn't have, he has a dementia-like illness at the very least.
He has cognitive decline.
And if he came into my office with the family member and they said, hey, something's wrong with dad, dad's forgetful, dad's tired, dad's falling down, dad's not finishing his sentences, dad gets confused.
If he didn't walk out of my office with a workup for dementia to see if there's any treatable cause or if it was one of the non-treatable causes like Alzheimer's, I should be rightly sued for malpractice.
And when physicians say, oh, you shouldn't diagnose a person you've never actually examined, oh, that's silly.
I mean, we have people, newscasters, get phone calls.
You hear this all the time.
Somebody sees a spot on their forehead and says, man, that looks like melanoma.
They call them, tell them they ought to get checked.
You know, a lot of medicine is observation and history taking.
And if you sit back and just watch Joe Biden and you watch him for the last four years, it's obvious the man has a dementia-like illness.
And it's frustrating that we continue to allow our medical profession to be eroded and to lose credibility by not stating the obvious.
And it's just sad for me as a physician.
Well, as a physician, I'm not a physician, and I don't play one on radio and I don't play one on TV.
It was pretty obvious to me this guy is a cognitive mess.
And, you know, not that I'm complaining, Bob, but when I first pointed out the obvious, there are a lot of people that were, let's say, less than kind to me and somewhat critical of me and beating the crap out of me because I spoke the truth.
But that's my job.
And it was so obvious, so transparent.
I'm like, okay, if you want to be in denial, be in denial.
But I prefer to see the truth.
Anyway, Bob, thank you.
And thanks as a physician.
You keep us healthy and alive.
We really appreciate it.
Let's say hi to Adam in Utah.
Adam, how are you?
Welcome to Milwaukee.
Glad you called, sir.
Thank you.
I appreciate you taking my call.
I just wanted to say I find it absolutely incredible that a building that is only about 400 feet away from the stage where President Trump was standing was totally missed by Secret Service is pretty unforgivable.
What are your thoughts about that?
Well, I think, yeah, I think it's pretty unforgivable.
Now that all these details are coming out about the Secret Service failures, I don't know if it's unforgivable is the emotion I'm feeling.
I am feeling raw anger and frustration and disgust.
I find it repulsive.
I find it unforgivable.
There's certain things in life.
One thing I can't stand, you can't survive in my orbit or world if you don't work.
Honestly, I'll take, for example, I'll take Linda's creative genius.
And, you know, I will.
I'll take that.
And I'll even take her occasional backsliding.
Okay.
You want to laugh?
Come on.
No, no, no.
I mean, all I heard was genius.
So continue.
You're doing great.
Keep going.
But in all honesty, last night, I think I texted her, what is it, 1 a.m.?
Whatever.
In the middle of the night, as usual.
Yeah.
And she wrote me right back.
And I mean, I need people like that in my world or else you're not going to survive in my world.
I don't know anybody.
Even John Gomez, I give him the most credit.
John Gomez has had the easiest life of any of my friends and done really well.
No, but he's just figured out how to do it smarter and not working.
Listen, he's smarter not harder all day long.
Exactly.
But everybody I know, except John, works, you know, 16-hour days minimum.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
And, you know, my kids don't like it.
I'm not the best.
I am not a good vacationer.
How do I say this?
It didn't really go over particularly.
Careful.
Careful.
It's a little bit of consternation.
Oh, we're going on a boat ride.
I'm like, great.
You guys, you know how to really, I get seasick.
You guys have a good time because they knew I wanted the free time to work.
Your first question was, is there signal out there?
I'm just curious.
Like, what is there a tower nearby?
No, I just lie and say I'm going to get sick.
Anyway, 800-941 show.
I appreciate the call, but you can't forgive this.
You can't.
