If you want to be a part of the program, we are only 98 days until election day.
Forty-eight days early voting starts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and then rolls out to state after state after state.
What is getting somewhat entertaining is to watch the mob, the media.
They don't know what to do right now because Kamala's record is so radical and so extreme that you know they just want to avoid covering any and all of it.
The fact that she would eliminate private health insurance, never mind her position on the border.
I have a list of of four pages, small print of the names of Americans that were killed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, unvetted illegal immigrants from 180 countries, and that came from some of some countries with terror ties and our top geopolitical foes,
including Rachel Moore and the mother of five, including Lake and Riley, including Jocelyn Nungaree, uh, who was you know brutalized for two hours, including this little little 13-year-old girl raped in broad daylight in New York City.
You know, names you'd never heard.
Did any of you ever hear the name of Christopher Gadd?
Did any of you ever hear of the name Alex Wise Jr.?
Any of you hear about, you know, uh Lizbeth Medina or Melissa in Reardon Powder Powell.
And uh it's just the tip of the iceberg.
You know, this is a woman that wants to eliminate all private health insurance.
This is a woman that attacked our own our own border patrol, comparing them to the KKK Nazis invoking slavery.
This is the one that fell for the Jussie Smollett hoax, as we have pointed out, a high-tech lynching.
Sorry, uh, she ever apologized.
No.
For illegal immigrants, she doesn't want to say that's a criminal act, wants to offer free health care, free education.
Uh this is somebody that has the most extreme positions, wants to eliminate fracking, although she's denying that now.
Eliminate drilling, zero re abortion restrictions at all whatsoever.
Uh by the way, if you're 18 to 24 years of age, you are stupid.
The only thing that would be stupid is if you decided to vote for her after her calling you stupid.
Uh she wants to we know she surrendered on the war on terror.
You know, needs to we need to rethink about, you know, starting from scratch when talking about ice, you know, sponsored a bill banning the Department of Homeland Security for using funds to build and expand immigration detention facilities.
You know, the same person that signed a letter saying that Title 42 violated federal law.
You know, the person now backing away from her mandatory gun confiscation, and that was to have a mandatory buyback, or that's the same thing.
The same person that wants a 70 to 80% tax rate.
The same person that says we have to be courageous.
We have to say stops using the term radical Islamic terrorists.
Well, who attacked us on 9-11?
We have to be courageous and stop using the term illegal alien.
Well, uh what do you want to call people that enter our country illegally then?
I mean, if you look at everything that She is sponsored.
She supported the Green New Deal, sponsored it in the U.S. Senate.
Her record is more radical than even that of Bernie Sanders.
You know, but when it comes to illegal immigrants, she has blood on her hands.
If you look at her thoughts on the police, you know, she said thinks it's wrong headed to think that more police officers make communities safer.
She wants to reimagine the role of police in society.
She praised LA when they cut 150 million dollars in police funding.
She was accused by San Francisco police officers of being slow to prosecute numerous murder suspects.
They turned their back on her.
Never mind the Minnesota Freedom Fund we've been telling you all about that allowed hardened criminals, even those accused of murder and rape, back out on the streets.
And, of course, you know, we saw what she did to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
And uh she wants a full ban on assault weapons called border walls a waste of money.
On the issue of abortion, she takes the position that is most radical, no restrictions on abortion.
Pretty unbelievable.
And now, as I mentioned earlier, she takes in for she takes her inspiration from a pastor, very reminiscent of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Remember G. D. America, not God bless America.
Well, it turns out that uh after she became the presumptive Democratic nominee, one of the first people she called is a longtime pastor.
Guy's name is Amos Brown.
He said, Pastor, I called because I want you to pray for me.
Harris and Brown, the longtime pastor of the San Francisco Third Baptist Church, have known each other for nearly twenty-five years.
They have remained closed throughout her vice presidency.
He in 2023 posted a picture of the two of them on her Instagram account, described to him as an inspiration to me always.
Well, it turns out that Brown's history is as radical as Jeremiah Wright, and anti-American remarks have elicited a lot of blowback from San Francisco Democrats, including radicals like Nancy Pelosi at a memorial service for victims of 9-11 terror attacks held just six days after Al Qaeda killed two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven Americans.
Brown used the occasion to point the finger at the United States.
Blame us in remarks to the San Francisco Chronicle.
It said a lot of people's teeth on edge and left politicians stunned.
America, is there anything you did to set up this climate?
He asked the audience.
Oh, America, what did you do?
America, what did you do two weeks ago when I stood at the World Conference on Racism when you wouldn't show up, referring to his participation at the UN World Conference Against Racism, when the United States and Israel boycotted its uh citing concerns about anti-Semitism.
Now, by the way, this jarred the most liberal audience.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that California Senator Diane Stein and California Governor Gray Davis, they left during those remarks.
Not Kamala Harris, nope, she stayed.
Nancy Pelosi apologized to the partner of Mark Bingham, a 911 victim, believed to have been a part of the group of passengers that fought back in Flight 93.
That's the plane that landed in that field in Pennsylvania.
And she took her time on the dais to push back and say with all due respect to some of the sentiments expressed earlier, some of which I agree.
Make no mistake, the act of terrorism on 9-11 put those outside of the order of civilized behavior.
We will not take responsibility for that.
How often do I quote Nancy Pelosi as bringing a voice of reason?
Well, at least she was, and Diane Feinstein and then Governor Gray Davis was.
Anyway, I doubt the media will cover it.
They tried to avoid Jeremiah Wright at all costs.
Well, well, we have a new pastor in our midst.
Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this is our friend Joe Concha.
And Joe, of course, Fox News media contributor, author of the brand new book, Why Today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys, which is, by the way, on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and now in bookstores around the country.
Sir, congratulations, another best seller, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah.
It's looking good.
And Sean, you could not time a book like Progressively Worse.
Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's documents more than in this moment?
I mean, because look at who the Democratic Party who they were and who they are now.
So John F. Kennedy did a lot of research on him.
He cut taxes in the middle of a recession.
He beefed up the military.
He would be practically like a MAGA Republican if he were alive today.
Or Jimmy Carter, a Democratic president who's pro-life in the Oval Office.
That would never fly today.
Bill Clinton worked with New Gingrich to his credit and passed welfare reform, declared the era of big government is over, achieved a balanced budget amendment where we actually had blood budget surpluses.
You know, and could you picture Joe Biden or Kamala Harris ever saying that?
Nope.
And then even Barack Obama was declared in in a very divisive, I should say, uh way the what was it again?
Oh, yes, that's right.
It was the deporter in chief, because he actually had a somewhat capable DHS secretary in Jay Johnson who actually deported people who were here illegally, and particularly those who committed crimes.
So we're even talking just a couple of years ago where the party wasn't where it is now, because if they're bear-hugging Kamala Harris, based on the record that you just laid out beautifully as far as how radical this party is, how they're the party of elites now.
They used to be about the working man and woman.
Now, I don't know if you knew this, the 40 richest congressional districts in the country are all represented by Democrats.
So it's coastal elites instead of Scranton Joe and the Rust Belt and the Midwest and relating to people on that level.
And and you mentioned it again.
I mean, some of the things that Kamala Harris actually supports, like ending all offshore drilling, abolishing ice, stopping all border wall construction, opposing remain in Mexico, which was highly, highly effective.
I don't know.
She also supports biological men competing against biological women, says that men can get pregnant.
You mentioned Sanctuary Cities before, wants to pack the Supreme Court, but the reimagining police part that she so tried to exploit in 2020 during that summer, the the the summer of mostly peaceful protests.
I mean, when you had more than 200 cops have already been shot this year alone, and that's your position.
I'm sorry.
I I don't see how even Bernie Sanders could sound this scary, but this these are her words, and this is her record, and this is who the Democratic Party is today.
Well, that's what it is.
All right, so let's look at the VP choices that we keep hearing that she's looking at.
Uh we hear Mark Kelly's name a lot, we hear Andy Bashir's name a lot, we have Josh Shapiro's name a lot.
Uh we know that Roy Cooper in North Carolina, he bailed out.
Whitmer bailed out.
Um I don't see how how you know Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania is going to get along with the radicals in the party.
You should have read Michael Moore's column today.
I mean, it's amazing that some of these folks are backing out.
I think they see a losing horse here because this is the sugar high right now, Sean, right?
They got rid of the old man, and it didn't matter who was going to be at the top of the ticket after him, whether it would be, say, uh Josh Shapiro or Gretchen Whitmer or a Kamala Harris, they were going to get this this bump, this this absolute tongue bat from the media, and they were going to get a little bit of a bump in the polls.
But even if you look at it now, Donald Trump is still leading nationally.
In 2016, he didn't lead any polls, and he still won that election.
But then I look at state-by-state polls, and I just don't see how Kamala Harris is going to relate to steel workers in Pennsylvania, given her past comments around ending the fossil fuel industry, for example.
I don't see how she walks into Michigan and tries to connect with auto workers when she has this mandate around electric vehicle sales, which would put thousands of auto workers out of work, and I just don't see how she walks into Arizona or New Mexico for that matter, border states have been overrun by illegal immigrants, and talk about what a great job she did when she was in charge of the border.
So I think in the end this is still Donald Trump's race to lose, and no matter who Kamala Harris picks as far as her VP, probably Mark Kelly, I would think, uh, in the end, no one votes for vice presidents.
They vote for the people at the top of the ticket.
And if the contrast is between the Joe Biden, Kamala Harris administration and this presidency and the Donald Trump presidency, I think most Americans, particularly those who are on the fence, would say, yeah, I was much better off under Donald Trump than I ever was under Biden Harris.
Do you agree with me?
Because the media's not going to do their job.
They're not going to vet her.
They're not going to ask her any of the tough questions on the issues that that you and I have been discussing and then I've been pointing out on radio and TV every day.
So the question is, how do the American people get to get get this information?
I mean, those people, the few people that watch fake news CNN, or the few people that watch MSTNC for their conspiracy theories.
How do they possibly get this information?
That concerns me.
Well, there's the Sean Hannity show that's on what are you on, like seven hundred stations across the country?
So that's a pretty seven seven fifty, but who's counting?
Seven fifty.
Okay.
It's like rabbits, they just keep growing.
Uh so yeah, 750, or the the Hannity on on the Fox News channel or the Fox News channel in general, or there's a lot of conservative podcasts and outlets that are out there.
They're very popular, uh, just like yours.
So I think with social media, that is serving as really, especially under Elon Musk and X as far as it's really leveling the playing field where growing up, you know, I had Peter Jennings and I had Tom Brook on.
I unfortunately had Dan Rather, and that's basically where you got your news outside of maybe CNN when they came around in 1980.
Now there's so many options, and the messenger is so not trusted.
I'll I'll leave it here.
And in 2016, Well, let me but uh let me ask you through this prism.
I mean, look at look at what what the rig tech has done.
You know, they said the shooting never happened.
They falsely claim that the picture was doctored.
They downplayed, you know, you can't Google assassinations and have the Trump assassination attempt come up.
Are you kidding me?
They're blatantly distorting searches.
But the chig's up this time because we saw what they tried to do with the Hunter Biden laptop and were successful to a certain extent, where they said, well, that was just Russian misinformation, and of course, everybody just ran with that narrative.
Now, when we hear that, oh, Facebook is actually suppressing and censoring this this picture, this iconic photo of Donald Trump saying fight, fight, fight with a stist in the air with blood on his face, uh, they got caught pretty quickly now, didn't they?
So I I think, yeah, there's a lot of Paul Reviewers on social media that are calling out this stuff.
And I think in the end, I'll go back to the one Status going to share.
The Hill in 2016, we did an analysis of all the endorsements across the country for major newspapers.
Hillary Clinton got fifty-seven endorsements, Donald Trump got two.
What did that get her?
A concession speech and a set of stake knives.
The influence simply isn't what it used to be, Sean.
Appreciate you as always, Joe Concha, uh, his brand new book.
You want to get a copy of it?
It is out today, and it's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
It's called Progressively Worse.
Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
I love that.
They're just jackasses in general.
Just kidding, just joking.
Anyway, appreciate you, Joe Conscient.
Thank you, sir.
All right, quick break, right back, we'll continue.

So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
You know, when I first went to Fox, probably one of the people that was nicest to me the earliest in my career was Neil Cavuto.
Now we don't agree politically on a lot of stuff, but uh he I'll never forget the fact that he was nice to me.
One of the earliest reviews of Hannity and Combs said that Sean Hannity has a bad haircut, has no business being on television, and Alan Combs looks funorial.
It was not exactly the best review.
It was written by Vern Gay.
We have since laughed about it many, many times over the last 28 years when he's interviewed me again.
Actually, I it turned out to like the guy.
Uh, but it was probably an honest assessment.
I was not very good at television when I started.
I once asked Roger Ells, who had hired me, well, why didn't you fire me?
And he said, Well, nobody was watching in the beginning, number one, and number two, I knew you were a broadcaster and you would eventually get it.
And they stuck with me, and I'm grateful for that.
Um so uh but you know, putting aside the fact that Neil and I have political differences, uh, you know, he is a nice person.
He really is, and this guy has courage in terms of his ability to face obstacles in his life that they're second to none.
And I just admire him for that.
He had our friend Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana on yesterday, and it was a pretty funny exchange.
Let me play it for you.
She is a member of the loon wing of the Democratic Party.
She's a San Francisco Democrat.
Um she's uh she's just like Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez, except without the bartending experience.
She is not mainstream, and I the point I was trying to make was that by by making her first policy position known on abortion, uh the idea that uh we should have a law that says you can have an abortion at any point, no questions asked, even up until the the moment of birth, I think for most Americans is uh is uh uh a moon wing position.
Uh all right, and then it got to the point where they're both saying, sorry if I offended you, sorry if uh if I triggered you.
I mean, it's just pretty funny.
But the one thing I did ask Cavuto after that article came out, I said, Well, do you does this mean you think I'm gonna get fired?
Because back in the day, if you got a bad review in television, you know, the chances are that you might get fired.
And he laughed at me, he goes, No, you're not getting fired, I promise.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh, let us say hi to Cindy, the great state of Texas.
God bless Texas.
Cindy, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, I'm doing great.
I'm so happy to be on your show today.
And by the way, congratulations on your great move from to Florida.
I just drove from Florida to Texas yesterday.
Wow, how long how long did it take you?
Well, we did some stops, and um it took about 13 hours, but we stopped to get something to be because it is a long drive, but I gotta tell you, um, we went different ways and through the many states that we crossed.
I can't tell you how much billboards and love that I saw for President Trump all throughout the country.
So wow really great.
And I will tell you that this past weekend I ate at a really great restaurant um in 30A, Grayton Beach area by Dustin.
And on our way to the restaurant, just to let you know, uh we saw a big crowd, and we were like, what are we looking at?
Looking up, and there's an owner of a building on the way to this restaurant.
He must have a two-sided sign of Trump, probably I want to say maybe more than five, six stories down on each way.
And it was just incredible.
People were stopping, making taking pictures.
And when we got to the restaurant, I actually asked one of the employees, do you know about that sign down there?
They go, Oh, yes.
That is a prominent um, he's a owner of the building, and he doesn't care if anybody likes it or not.
He pays a big fine once a year.
And I thought, wow.
That's hilarious.
That's hilarious that they f what do they fight him for?
You can't put up your own signage anymore in Florida in the free state of Florida, really?
I couldn't tell if it was a condominium or what it was, but he had the latest banners of like when he survived the bullet.
It was really neat.
Um I wish I could give you more information on it.
We drove by, it was crowded, and I was like, look at that.
I mean you couldn't miss it.
But um I think he's a developer or something in Florida, but they say that he he has to pay a fine because he refuses to take it down.
So that's a that's a memory I have of my trip regarding to the former president.
I I might have to tell Governor DeSantis about this and see if uh he and the state legislature can, you know, leave this guy alone.
I thought you had free speech rights in Florida.
We'll work on that.
Oh thank you, Sean.
Well the reason why I'm calling is first off I've been a fan of yours for a long time.
I can't tell you how many times how long I've listened to you radio and I watch your show and I wanted to ask you a question.
I think you really do a great job on interviews.
You ask the right questions, you ask the tough questions.
I really enjoyed watching your um when you uh had your debate with um DeSantis versus um California Newsom.
And I wanted to know because I'm not sure if Fox is going to host a debate.
I couldn't remember who the next um news um media got it but I wanted to know if if there's any consideration you could do the same thing with President Trump and Kamala Harris because I think you would really ask the tough questions and I think you know my journey through the country I think people need to see this.
And I wanted to know if that's something you would consider because I think you do a fantastic job.
I would definitely consider it I do it in a heartbeat.
I don't see Kamala Harris ever agreeing to come on a show with me.
Uh I don't think she will have any tough interviews in the next ninety-eight days.
I think she will largely remain unvetted by the complicit corrupt uh media mob, the state run media and I think that we're just gonna have to bypass them that's what makes this this big tech suppression you know so important I that I've been talking about throughout the program today.
I mean the idea that on social media there are if you look up at Meta, AI, Facebook, Google, you know, saying that the shooting never happened or falsely claiming the picture of Donald Trump was doctored or downplaying news in a search.
For example, if you try to Google assassination and you just Google the answer uh it doesn't it doesn't even come up about President Trump's assassination.
Ronald Reagan's assassination will come up Garel Ford's assassination attempt will come up but not Donald Trump.
How is that possible?
Um if you look at Meta they label the assassination as fictional medic meta for example if you ask them you know they won't answer questions about Trump but they have plenty of answers about Kamala Harris.
Facebook falsely labeled the picture, the very real picture of Donald Trump with his fist in the air as being altered.
It was not an altered photo.
And big tech, this is the same big tech in the lead up to the 2020 election that was meeting with the FBI in the weeks leading up to that election and being warned by the FBI that had already authenticated Hunter Biden's very real laptop.
And we're meeting with big tech warning them they may be victims of a misinformation or disinformation campaign.
And it may be about Joe and Hunter Biden.
They knew that the story of Hunter's laptop was coming out because they knew that Rudy Giuliani is a terrorist.
attorney had a copy of it.
They knew the odds of it leaking were very high and when it came out even though they authenticated it when Facebook and then at the time Twitter now X uh asked whether or not it was true they wouldn't tell them the truth.
I mean it shows that the deep state is alive and well it's sort of like in 2016 the the use of Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier and and using that for four FISA applications to backdoor spy on candidate Trump and President Trump.
I mean we have a corrupt deep state we have a weaponized system of justice and it's it's a pretty scary time for the country and that's why this election matters even more exactly I'm really concerned about it.
It's the most critical election of our time And you know, the whole time we were driving, we were listening to various talk radio, and it's just incredible.
Um, you know, that people don't see how critical this is.
But, you know, you interviewed Governor Nissan.
They're from the same state.
She's a California San Francisco Democrat, I believe.
Why wouldn't she come on?
If she does it, why?
Why would she not do this?
So that the people know to ask her uh about every word she said in her own words.
And she's now in the process of trying to walk back everything uh in an election year conversion because she knows that the position she's taken are untenable.
And the media is gonna be comp the very same media that covered up Joe's cognitive decline and lied about it, and we're shocked dur that it showed up during the debate.
They're the the same people that have no problem with every weaponization attack against Donald Trump, the same people that lie every day, they're gonna do what they always do.
We really do.
We have to bypass the media, and now big tech is making it harder than ever.
You know, remember I got a call from uh I had Jim Jordan on Hannity one night, and he says, Sean, I do have some news for you.
And I said, Yeah, what's that?
He goes, We have discovered that your social media accounts were in fact toyed with, if you will, in the lead up and suppressed in the lead up to the 2020 election.
And I'm like, You gotta be kidding me.
Do you realize how many of my personal texts have been made public?
And Peter Strzok just got paid one point two million dollars by the government in a settlement because his personal texts with his girlfriend, uh whatever page, uh, you know, were were made public.
Well, when when am I gonna get paid?
They never had a right to print my private messages with Paul Manafort or my private messages with Kaylee McEnaney, uh, or my private messages uh with other people.
Mark Meadows, for example, but they did.
And they released them to the public.
Now I I'm not ashamed of anything that I've written, but uh I'm just I'm just saying, what about my privacy?
I thought I had a right to privacy.
I thought Democrats supported it.
Did anybody in the media say they shouldn't do that to Sean Hannity?
No, they didn't.
I would have stood up for them.
I think they have a right to privacy.
You're exactly right.
And that's really sad that it's that it's come down to this in this country.
But I wanted to ask you that because I thought it was worth asking, at least try.
But I understand if she doesn't do it.
But there's no doubt in my mind, I mean, I just can't see former President Trump not winning.
I mean, after the support and what I saw across the country, I just can't.
Just don't get overconfident.
You have to act as though you're behind.
Yeah, ha you have to believe in your heart that your vote may be the vote that changes this election.
Everybody, no overconfidence here.
We have to act like we're behind and that we've got a lot of work to do, and we're gonna we're gonna put focus our full efforts and attention on winning.
And Republicans gotta embrace voting early, voting by mail, and it's not the system I like.
But we can't start out election day down hundreds of thousands of votes.
We can't.
Not the system we want, but we have to win elections to change it.
Anyway, Cindy, I could talk to you all day.
God bless you.
I'm glad you're back home in your home state of Texas.
Glad you had a chance to be in my free state of Florida, and uh hope you can come back and visit again.
Oh, yes, sir.
Thank you.
And I look forward to see the results when you talk to Governor DeSantis about those signs.
Thank you.
I'm gonna ask I'm when I talk to him, I'll ask him about it, see if he knows about it.
Anyway, Cindy, appreciate it.
Wisconsin Ron is next on the Sean Hannity show.
Why is every poll in Wisconsin neck and neck?
Can you tell me, Ron?
Okay, we're Sean.
Reason I called is um I grew up in Brooklyn where you know, busting your chops is an Olympic sport.
But my family in Wisconsin, they they're you know, used to be a nice, but the reason it's neck and neck is the Democrats are way better at advertising.
Like even the senator is with Hobby and Baldwin.
Hubdy would be a much better senator, but his ads stink.
The the the Democrats have fantastic ads, and because we're a swing state, we're inundated with ads.
And if you're like my kids, who I raised to be conservative, but all they see is like the you just extra explained about the state run media and the television and the Google.
They don't ever hear the conservative point of view that I'm getting from Fox.
Well, just just buckle up because the first ad by of the Trump campaign in every swing state is starting this week.
They have been very judicious with their money, and I think wisely so, especially since Joe has gotten out of the race.
And just stay tuned.
Those ads are coming.
