Our number is 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh got a little strange, bizarre, weird.
I mean, one of the leading voices against Joe Biden, you know, is the Obama cabal on fake news CNN, and you know, that that would be Carville and Axelrod and Van Jones and Van Jones then hears that that Joe's dropping out, and he had a very emotional moment on air.
Listen.
This is the difference between uh uh a politician and a leader.
Uh he he he he he made a selfless decision.
And people are heartbroken.
Even people who are pushing for this to happen, it's kind of like like when when you're when your grandpa, you gotta take the keys, and everybody, you gotta take his keys, you gotta take his keys, you gotta and and and and he's fighting and he's fighting.
Everybody's so frustrated, and then you finally get the keys back, and then you just cry.
Because this is somebody that you love.
This is somebody that you care about.
This is somebody who was there for you.
This is somebody you wouldn't be here without him.
And you have to take something from him.
Now, this is not look, this politics is politics, but this is a human moment for one of the great humans in America.
This is a huge moment for him, for his family, for all of us who love him, for all of us who want him to get across the finish line.
Wait till we get to the convention.
You're gonna see people crying, standing, screaming, cheering.
He may not get a chance to talk for 10 minutes.
We finally get a chance to put our arm around this guy.
He did the right thing for this country, you had the right thing for this party.
All of us are gonna be in this situation someday, and I hope that we take a moment to honor this man and to love this man.
I love Joe Biden.
I appreciate what he's done, and a lot of people uh are heartbroken today.
Even if it's the right thing, it's still just horrible.
And he was one of the leaders to help push him out.
And by the way, if Joe can't run for president, he can't be president.
He shouldn't be president, he shouldn't have been president for a long while.
Now, this is Kamala Harris.
Biden's accomplishment over the last three years is unmatched.
One problem the audience doesn't clap.
Listen.
Our president Joe Biden wanted to be here today.
He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road.
And I wanted to say a few words about our president.
Joe Biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history.
In one term, he has already, yes, you make laugh.
And of course, you get the giggles.
But if you say giggles, that would be somehow sexist, according to the the hard-hitting news show The View.
Uh pretty unbelievable.
One of the uh one of the interesting things about the left, and you're gonna see this throughout the whole campaign, and I told you this on January 2nd after I take my long vacation around Christmas.
I came back, you know, refreshed, ready to go, knowing we're heading into an election year.
I think I've done 14 Hannedys in 14 days, and we've been working a little extra overtime, and I love doing it because this is our season.
But I said, watch what the Democrats do.
They can't run on the and answer the question, are you better off than you were four years ago?
So they they have to come up with something else.
And what did they come up with?
Democracy imperil.
The party that wanted to keep Donald Trump's name off the ballot, democracy is is hanging in the balance.
The people that are willing to disenfranchise every Democratic primary voter.
The people that were so willing to lie repeatedly about Joe Biden's cognitive state, even a month ago telling us when we showed very real videos of Joe that they were cheap fake videos when in fact they were not.
They were unedited videos.
But that was their way of lying and and defending and protecting and covering up Joe's condition.
This is something we've been pointing out even before the twenty twenty election.
These are all lies that the left always tells every two years during elections, every four years, and it's almost become an everyday thing.
Well, kind of ripped out of the headlines of this, my friend and and colleague Tammy Bruce over at Fox News, you know, has actually written a book about this very topic.
It's called Fear Itself, exposing the left's mind killing agenda.
And it's on Amazon.com, it's on Hannity.com.
It's now in bookstores around the country.
Uh we always love having Tammy.
She often fills in for me on Hannity the TV show and is frequently a guest.
Um anyway, great to have you, but I I can't think of a more appropriate time than now because they're trying to make the case, not about their record, because you know they lied about the borders, they lied about the economy, they've lied about law and order, and of course they're defund, dismantle, reimagine the police, no bail law insanity.
They've they've lied about America's standing in the world, and the only thing they've got left is to scare the living hell out of people to think that Donald Trump is going to destroy the country and be a dictator.
Yeah, exactly.
Sean, it's great to be with you.
We've all been through so much.
It's a remarkable time.
You, your audience, me, everybody Fox, everybody in the country.
But what is important and what I want people to take away from this in your your monologue here, your layout of what's happening has always been true.
This all they've had is fear and threats, uh fear mongering, very much like domestic violence, by the way, the same kind of tactic.
What my book shows is that none of this is normal.
It is not organic, it is not inevitable, it is not something you have to adjust to.
It's it's something that you can defeat on an individual level.
But as we know, no matter who's at the top of the ticket shot, they can't d discuss the details of the issues because they've destroyed the heart of what makes this country safe.
The world is moving closer to more war, it's already at war, and you know they all they have is fear, and the reason it's used, it is a ancient technique, it's not you know, moment to moment, it is something that the left has done worldwide is that the moment you can make people afraid chronically, because you know, fear is a gift.
It it's not meant to be transient, you're to look at it and deal with certain issues with logic and reason.
But with chronic fear, which is what they create, which moves into mass anxiety, you allowed emotions to make your decisions, but mostly you retreat, and this is the way to control you.
When when they can't win on the issue, Sean, they make people afraid to speak their mind, they change language, it's multi-layered.
It is about name-calling, but it's also about the economy.
If you don't have enough money for tomorrow's gas, that's that makes you afraid.
It's about crime.
If you if you're afraid for your kids at school, if you're afraid to go to a school board meeting, and then you get on some list where the FBI visits you, if you're afraid of getting fired because you misgender someone, all of this can be defeated, and it's it is personal, and we can make specific decisions about courage, and I deal with that as well in the book.
So it's about exposing the history of this, it's ancient.
How it's being applied, global warming, COVID is of course one of the best examples.
The nature of identity politics, and that is what they're gonna go right back to, no matter who's at the top of the ticket, it's going to be more fear, more identity politics.
We've seen what Kamala Harris did, as you've noted regarding the riots of twenty twenty, the bail funds, defunding the police.
All of this goes to one point, which is to make people afraid to contradict.
And then, of course, the assassination attempt.
If you push people hard enough, the mentally unstable will tip over.
We saw it with Justice Kavanaugh, that obscene event with Kavanaugh.
Another perfect example saying, God, that assassination attempt was not accomplished.
And now with President Trump.
That was to make you all afraid.
But I will end with this in that it was President Trump's reaction that shows us no matter what they do, we must get back up.
And that crowd did not run away.
They stayed, and his courage reminded us that we can behave with courage as well.
We all have it.
And ultimately, it's making sure, and I have five tacks at the end about how we can defeat this.
We can't let strangers dictate what we think about ourselves.
We're individual targets.
The country is at stake.
Now is the time if there was ever a time shot where we could stand up and take this country back, but with it, reject completely this malignant approach.
Because everything now is we've seen, it is personal.
Corey, our firefighter, is dead.
Two patriots are still hospitalized.
President Trump will be forever marked, shot in the face, and they want us to just move along.
It's a remarkable time, but what I hope with my experience is that this book can help people make sure they can get through this process of the next few months and really take their own lives back by seeing the fraud that all of this really has been.
All right, quick break.
Right back.
We'll continue more with our friend Tammy Bruce, 800-941-SHAWN.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Our new book is out Fear Itself, exposing the left's mind-killing agenda.
Amazon.com, Hannity.com bookstores around the country.
They will lie and they will use fear and they will demagogue.
They will smear slander besmirch.
That's that's all they've really got.
Uh Abortion will be a big part of it.
What's interesting to me, and we've become close friends over the years, is and and we've spoken about this publicly and privately.
Is you are a you you grew up with the left.
Um you once were on the left.
This is many, by the way, many decades ago at this point.
I think I I think when I first interviewed you, you might have still been there.
I don't remember.
Yes for sure.
Yes, I was indeed.
Yeah, I mean, you were the former head of now for crying out loud.
That's right.
That's right.
And you know what I want to make sure that my experience on the left is not in vain, and they were doing the same thing then, and we discussed it.
We discussed that if you scared them enough, they would retreat.
It is the it's the worldwide left that does this.
And the great thing is is that Americans, we still have the sensibility about being revolutionaries.
We know about the power of the individual American.
That is what is so appealing about President Trump.
He loves the country, he understands about what needs to happen.
But when you've got and dealing with violence against women is part of my history.
The fascinating thing, Sean, is that the techniques going after us with effect, you know, condemning us as being bad people, responsible for the destruction of the earth, getting after our our self-esteem, telling us that we need to be punished, and that only if we would do the right thing we wouldn't be punished.
That is what a batterer tells his target, a battered woman.
That is what's happening right now, writ large in the country when you think about issues like global warming, and that we're told that even our breathing is a problem, and that our existence is the problem, and that w we have to be punished and things we can't have nice things because we do we don't follow the rules.
But if we just do as we're told, Sean, everything would be better.
This is unacceptable.
It's also explains the collapse right now of the Democrat Party.
It is unsustainable to use gaslighting and lies to manipulate people.
Well, let me ask you, how does this all play out?
Well, it's if they're gonna r go right back to the same playbook.
They know nothing else.
They all they have, and they're this is why I'm concerned, they will double down on threats and fear.
Right now it's playing out perfectly.
The American people are looking at Donald Trump, they're not just looking at him because Joe Biden was old.
They're realizing they've been lied to, and the Democrats watching this is why that Van Jones clip you played.
My God, the crocodile, cheers.
These are people who actually pushed grandpa off the cliff.
And now they're saying, oh my God, that's so sad, but it had to be done.
These are bad people, and that's why the country is in such a mess.
They are in chaos, make no mistake.
There is chaos.
We don't even know where Joe Biden is right now.
His his resignation letter uh has been reported as being uh like digitally signed.
I mean, w we have some questions here, because the country is at stake.
The Secret Service uh investigation today, the testimony to Congress, no shame, it no embarrassment.
Uh it's completely stonewalling.
This is an establishment that refuses to be held accountable.
Americans have seen it.
Democrats have been the first victims of this because their their votes now are flushed, and they're watching this like they just never mattered, like it was a game.
But it does matter, and it can matter uh for with Trump.
One more term, get this country back on her feet, reject these lies, and I think Americans will.
My goodness, like Kamala Harris is not responsible for the nature of what's happened.
She's more to the left than Biden ever was, and she is the one, as you've noted, who's championed, and I have a chapter about this in my book, interestingly enough, championed the riots and excited with Stephen Colbert about about the violence and the the bail fund.
It's so sick.
The heart of what they stand for and the fear that's generated with that.
These are bad people, and Americans can take care of it on November 5th.
It's an inflection point, Tammy.
105 days until election day, 56 days until early voting begins, and this is where we find ourselves.
Unbelievable.
The book is ripped right out of the headlines of today.
It's called Fear Itself, Exposing the Left's Mind Killing Agenda.
You need to understand it so you can defeat it.
I'll put it that way.
Uh Tammy Bruce, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
We appreciate you being with us.
Thanks for launching the book with us.
And uh we'll see you on TV this week, I'm sure.
Thank you.
Great.
Yes, sir.
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We'll be right back.
John Carey, making America Green, one Learjet liberal flight at a time.
You just can make this stuff up.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get right to your calls here.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, have not spoken enough about the mob, the media, state run media, and their reaction to uh all of the news and events yesterday.
They uh you know they are just as complicit as anybody else.
They just are.
They've known the entire time that Joe is a cognitive mess.
They have known and covered it all up the entire time.
Now they put that because they couldn't cover it up anymore after the disastrous debate.
But really, it wasn't really even the debate as much as the fact that the polling number showed that uh oh Joe's losing.
He's losing big time.
And they saw a very bad night for Democrats, so they got on the dump and destroy Joe Biden bandwagon, and you know, now they're warning it would be political suicide for any Democrat to challenge Kamala Harris or the nomination.
Really?
It was fun to watch the media, you know, state run media mob and Democrats reacting to Biden dropping out.
Here's what they were saying yesterday.
We have breaking news here.
President Biden has announced he will stand down from the race.
I'm gonna read the statement here on my phone.
Obviously, this is a significant breaking news development with the president announcing he is stepping back from the race.
There was very little indication from people close to him and many people in the campaign that this was what was about to happen.
He made a selfless decision, and people are heartbroken.
Even people who are pushing for this to happen, it's kind of like like when when you're when your grandpa, you gotta take the keys, and everybody, you gotta take his keys, you gotta take his keys.
You gotta and and and and he's fighting and he's fighting.
Everybody's so frustrated, and then you finally get the keys back.
And then you just cry.
Because this is somebody that you love.
This is somebody that you care about.
This is somebody who was there for you.
This is somebody you wouldn't be here without him.
And you have to take something from him.
He's grounded in his faith in his family and in our state.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Um, this was a very difficult decision.
And one that I think reflects the very best of who Joe Biden is.
I was sad, you know, in the way that when you see a champion athlete retire, leave it all on the field, and walk away into the sunset.
That made me sad.
It gave me nostalgia.
I think it shows what a statesman he is.
I think it shows what a patriot he is.
I think it shows that he can put his country before his ego because he had such a great record as president.
I would have preferred my Democrats to do this, not publicly.
Yes, and in everybody's face.
Because what it did was it had a sitting having to talk about this endlessly.
It really pissed me off.
Not because I'm as close, but because I felt it was disrespectful.
Yes.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
That is uh it is all a lie.
It's all been a lie.
It's all been a cover-up, and it is corruption at its finest.
And this is what you get.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy phones as we say hi to Bill in Texas.
Bill, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Howdy, Sean, you're a great American.
What's up, Bill in Texas?
How are you doing?
God bless Texas.
What's going on?
Texas.
So's Linda and your whole team, man.
You God bless you for what you do.
Listen, I had called in to talk about the cyber deal.
That whole deal felt me a little like uh had a kind of a taste of a pro being action where your enemy comes in and tests your defenses and to see what your backup plan is.
If the internet did go down, or if they just cut it completely off.
And I think that would be part parcel of any major attack on the United States.
And I think that we are in no more dangerous a time in our history than we are right now with this cognitive mess of a president, this radical Democratic Party who will lie to you and tell you everything's going to be okay.
And we're just doing this for your benefit.
That's what tyrants always say.
And I think we're just in a really dangerous time, and I know you're a man of faith.
You know, I pray for you guys, and I pray for my family every day, and I and I know that in the long run, everything's gonna be okay.
Even when things look terrible, everything's gonna be okay.
But I'm I'm anticipating a bigger fight than I think we've been led to believe is coming.
There may be an upside to that.
And I mentioned this earlier in the program today.
And the upside might be that people will have a greater sense of urgency about the moment in which we're living.
And if that's the case, and that motivates people to get more involved and and take their role more seriously, I'm all for that.
You know, fear sometimes can be a great motivator.
And I'm just hoping if if people thought that this was going to be a layup and and Donald Trump would win easily, you know, understand the full force of the democratic establishment and the donor class and the elitist in DC and in Nantucket, led by Obama and the elitists in Hollywood, they're now full force behind Kamala Harris.
They're gonna act like she's the second coming.
Let me prepare a lot of you.
You're gonna see a lot of mainstream media polls that show Kamala is doing better against Donald Trump.
I would expect that through Labor Day and after their convention.
Don't let it panic you, let it motivate you.
I don't believe these polls are gonna be real.
Uh we'll be uh I'll I'll be looking at real polls every day, and and uh if there's something to worry about, I'll be the first to tell you.
I'm not gonna hide it from you.
And I just have access to information that I'll I won't keep from you.
So I don't uh let this be a moment that everybody Kamala Harris is complicit.
She's been complicit in the cover-up.
She's been complicit in the line.
She has the same border policies, she has the same exact economic policies.
She has worse policies when it comes to law and order.
She's more radical than Joe.
And I think she's going to be a horrible, if God forbid she becomes president, it's a disaster for the country.
And it will be nothing, nothing will change.
It will only get worse.
And my own take is that there's nobody on the world stage that will respect her.
They won't fear her, and I think they'll just view it as America the week.
And that's how they've been seeing things now for too long a period of time.
It is time for America to have a massive reset.
And that reset would be all of us hearing on the night of election day.
Fox News can project Donald J. Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States.
That will reset everything in the country.
That will reset our immigration policy.
That will reset and and eliminate the insanity of Nobel and defund and dismantle.
That will reset our military and make it stronger and not woke.
That will reset our economy.
That will reset America's role on the world stage.
It will be a shock to the system, but it's a needed shock for America to get back on track.
If we don't do it, then the consequences will be Very, very real and significant.
America is awfully close to becoming a victim of a massive terror attack because of Joe's illegals.
I wish I was wrong.
I pray that I'm wrong.
I'm not wrong.
So the bottom line is everybody's got a role to play here.
And take this seriously.
Use this as a moment to recommit yourself to the importance of this election.
Anyway, my friend, I'm going to move on.
God bless Texas.
Uh let's say hi to Don in Iowa.
Don, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm actually in Alabama right now, heading back to Iowa.
I uh and there goes my CB radio.
I was gonna say I'm a truck driver.
Um wow.
Oh, break or breaker one nine, what's going on?
I'll put it out on the radio that I was on with you in a bit.
Um I spoke to uh Katie, they told her that I was gonna joke with you about Bill O'Reilly's gonna win that bet because of something that uh Rush Limbaugh had told us years ago.
And that was if the media created you, the media can end you.
And being as Joe Biden was nobody until um Barack Obama created him, Barack Obama could take him out, and I believe that's what happened.
You you let me tell you the I said to O'Reilly, I said I could absolutely see his scenario unfold.
I just what I was saying is I just didn't know.
I mean, up to the point, uh n you know, he was showing nothing but pure defiance.
And you know, I just watch, observe, and listen, and it's kinda hard to get into the minds of Democrats what they're planning and what they're gonna do.
There were powerful forces that had emerged in Joe's corner that that intrigued me.
James Clyburn was one of them.
The Congressional Black Caucus was another.
There were fourteen hundred uh African American women that wrote a letter over the weekend and supported Joe Biden.
People you know, people like Carol Mosley Braun and others had had signed on to it.
Uh there was AOC in the squad.
And what we've learned here is that ultimately the real power broker is the elite establishment, and that means Obama out of Nantucket, the Washington elite, Schumer and Pelosi and and Hakeem Jeffries.
Uh that means that the Hollywood elite and the money class, they they they won the day and they were able to push Joe out.
Now ultimately, I guess he could have hung in there, but they they dried up his money pretty quick, and I think the bottom line is it came down to the money.
Oh, without a doubt.
Absolutely.
It's the money, it's Obama, it is it says a lot of things.
Uh before I go, though, I want to tell uh uh President Trump, thank you for your courage under fire, and thank you for supporting him, Sean, for so long.
I've been listening to you for 30 plus years.
I've never been a Republican until I caucused for President Trump in Iowa uh back uh in November, and unfortunately could not come to Des Moines to meet because of the ice storm, which you're very familiar with.
Uh oh yeah.
I was familiar with the freezing temperatures when I was at last in Iowa.
I prefer to go back to the Iowa fair and have some fried twinkies and and fried pork chops.
Well, I'm shipping some Iowa sweet corn to your your New York headquarters, so I think Linda and Katie are gonna have to share it with the guys there.
Uh no, no, no, no, no.
I want you to have them ship it to me in Florida.
I I will do that.
I'll I'll I'll talk to Katie afterwards and and we'll make that happen.
All right, my friend, thank you.
We appreciate it.
800-941 showing us on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh let's say hi to Mike in Minnesota.
Mike, how are you?
Glad you called us.
You look you're on the ground in Minnesota.
A chance that Minnesota goes red this year.
Well, I don't know.
It's pretty well split.
Uh if you're in the suburbs, you you're good uh to be red, but up around the big cities, it's just as blue as ever.
Yeah, I agree.
Look, I think it's a long shot, but Donald Trump is showing a lot of strength that a lot of people didn't expect.
Uh, do you think J.D. Vance in any way helps in Minnesota?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
But that's not what the problem is here.
And what I'm hearing, and I and uh I hear a lot, is that nobody's being held accountable for nothing, you know, like come fac come back socky.
It I listened to that Secret Service woman today and it reminded me of Come Back Saki.
You everybody knew she wasn't gonna answer anything.
And why can't we hold these people accountable?
I mean, if I when I was a kid, I got my mouth washed out with soap.
And you don't do that very often.
You know, and they say they're gonna hold back her money.
Um, you know, and in Hunter Biden's deal, it's just they got so much going on, you guys can't keep up with it all, you know.
Everything that they and I I said this in my opening monologue today, everything that they have covered up, every lie that they have told.
It just and they have gotten away with.
It these are really it's a it's it's dangerous for the country.
A two-tiered justice system, a weaponized system of justice is really dangerous.
And I'm just you know, the lead liar in this, the person that was at the front on the front lines covering it up is Kamala Harris.
And now they're co- coalescing around her.
Okay, she's gonna be the candidate.
Uh she was there lying along with Joe about the economy, transitory inflation, lying about the borders being secure, lying about you know pretty much everything, and and pretty useless when it came to securing our border.
Anyway, appreciate the call, Mike.
Have uh about a minute left.
We're gonna give it to our buddy Don in Lake Ronconkima out of Long Island.
Don, how are you, my friend?
Hey, Sean.
Thanks for uh thanks for taking my call.
You know, the public learned more from last Friday's night on Hannity with Josh Hawley about the uh attempted assassination of a Donald Trump that we learned today from this uh Secret Service director, Kim Cheadle.
Uh throughout the hearing, all we heard was it's nine days out, and this is an ongoing investigation.
And to defer to the FBI for answers.
No accountability.
Uh, Jim Jordan was great, his questioning was hard-hitting.
Andy Biggs was frustrated, and Representative Nancy Mace told her often under no su uh uncertain terms.
But Sean, here's uh but this is no surprise.
Many of you dates questions.
President Biden never took questions from uh uh reporters, and the Biden and Harris administration has a history of this.
I remember when you had Ted Cruz on in uh 2021, when he went down to the border to take photos of the uh of the immigrants of the uh illegals coming from the case.
Well, those are the kids in cages that were overcrowded in the middle of a pandemic, and if it wasn't for Senator Cruz, I wouldn't have had that video to share with you.
Exactly.
Yeah, they w they wanted to they want to promote it uh prohibit him from going in there, thank God.
He persisted, thank God.
He persisted, and and Josh Hawley tried to persist to go to the site of the shooting and they they kicked him out.
It's unreal.
Um I got a roll, my friend, but always great to hear your voice.
Uh sorry you're still in uh New York.
I hope you make it down to Florida.
Anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
