| Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song. | |
| We'll all be fired. | |
| And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along. | |
| The attempted assassination of former president Donald J. Trump on Saturday, July 13th, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a failure on multiple levels. | |
| Just plain weird. | |
| You know who's plain weird? | |
| She's playing weird. | |
| She's a weird person. | |
| Look at her past. | |
| Look at what she does. | |
| And yeah, I am radical. | |
| I do believe that we need to get radical about what we are doing and take it seriously. | |
| T minus 96 days until election day. | |
| Yeah, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song 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. | |
| Here is our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| It's 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to join us, 96 days until the inflection point election in our lifetime. | |
| And just 46 days until early voting in the Commonwealth, the state of Pennsylvania, Linda's state, and it looks more and more like the governor of that state is going to be chosen as Kamala Harris's vice president. | |
| Odds are, you know, pretty pretty high now. | |
| Now, if you look at betting odds that it will be him, it's going to to me, it's going to get very, very interesting in light of how the left will react to this. | |
| I pointed out earlier in the week. | |
| That, you know, radical leftists like Michael Moore and others and the squad and the pro-Hamas wing and of the Democratic Party. | |
| Uh that they're not going to be happy with this choice because he has very different positions, especially on the issue of Israel and some other big issues. | |
| It'll be interesting to see how they justify this. | |
| But you know, for example, Michael Moore pointed out that you know, caution that Kamala Harris, you know, could in fact snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if she changes and becomes more centrist on her positions. | |
| Well, what have we been watching all week? | |
| You know, she was for fracking band, for a fracking band, for a fracking band until now all of a sudden, oh no, no, she's not against fracking. | |
| A big issue in Pennsylvania. | |
| A big political issue. | |
| High-paying career jobs. | |
| It saved the state. | |
| If New York was smart enough to join them, they they wouldn't have to tax everybody to death and out of the state in New York. | |
| Anyway, or you know, Kamala Harris now trying to flip and flop on her mandatory gun buyback program. | |
| Might as well call it confiscation if it's mandatory, right? | |
| Well, they'll just give you a few bucks for it. | |
| Or Medicare for all that she supported that would eliminate all private health insurance and also provided uh medical care for illegal immigrants and free education and free housing and everything in between. | |
| And now she's actually trying to claim that she'll put her record on immigration up against Donald Trump's every day of the week. | |
| I mean, she's she's obviously the thing that has gotten to the Harris campaign at this point, and we have a lot of this information, a lot of her in her own words on Hannity.com is her and her own words. | |
| O'Reilly made this point. | |
| I'm I'm I'm gonna make this point often because I agree with it. | |
| You know, you think about I, you know, I was asking him, well, what about the momentum certain candidates get, like Obama, you know, it just became a movement at one point. | |
| Hope and change, hope and change. | |
| And he rightly pointed out this big difference. | |
| Obama was kind of like a blank slate that nobody knew a lot about and voted present more than anything else, and it just kind of an obscure senator that quickly rose within the ranks of the Democratic Party and became their candidate and gained a lot of momentum. | |
| And uh, we didn't know that much about him. | |
| And now we started vetting him, and we went all the way through his pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, you know, no, no, no, not God bless America, GD America, America's chickens, I'm in home. | |
| Roost. | |
| Uh, or the fact that he was friends with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorn, you know, part of the weather underground, or you know, what it what it meant to be a disciple of Alinsky in community organizing and the Chum gang and Frank Marshall Davis. | |
| But in terms of the radical position staked out by Kamala Harris, I've there's never been a candidate in the history of this country like her. | |
| So, you know, look at how she the look at the fact that she surrendered in the war against radical Islamic terrorism. | |
| Just think of that one thing. | |
| We're now sitting on the brink of a possibility after Israel took out the number one Hamas leader that was inside of Iran. | |
| Now Israel has gotten the number four guy of Hamas. | |
| They're the people responsible for the terror attacks on October the seventh, but they were supported by the Iranians. | |
| They were supported and trained by the Kuds and Iranian Revolutionary Guard. | |
| The weaponry, a lot of it has been provided by Iran. | |
| The weaponry that's being shot into Israel out of Lebanon, uh it is Hezbollah comes from Iran. | |
| They're the number one state sponsor of terror. | |
| And but for the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they've allowed the Iranian mullahs to get rich as hell so that they can foment even more terror. | |
| The opposite of what Donald Trump did. | |
| He put sanctions in place. | |
| They were going bankrupt. | |
| There was, you know, rising rising tide against the regime. | |
| And probably by now they've the regime could in all likelihood have been gone. | |
| And we'd rid the world of the threat of a nuclear armed Iran, which is very real. | |
| And if that happens, all bets are off in terms of a nuclear holocaust that we would witness in our lifetime. | |
| Because if they get those weapons, I'm as convinced as anybody that they would have no problem using it and think they're doing Allah's will to do it. | |
| They're part of the converter die sick ideology. | |
| You know, even other Muslim countries in the region, they stood with the U.S., they stand with Israel. | |
| You know, Jordan and Egypt and and the Saudis and the Emirates and the United States and Israel, all you know, created an alliance against Iranian hegemony. | |
| But, you know, then to listen to Michael Moore say that it would be such a mistake to pick Josh Shapiro. | |
| He actually went as far to say is, you know, Shapiro said it's anti-Semitic if he joined the boycott divestment and sanctions movement against Israel. | |
| Here's another thing that could happen. | |
| Vice President Harris appoints Josh Shapiro as her vice presidential candidate. | |
| And this too may result in losing Michigan. | |
| Shapiro said that it's quote, anti-Semitic for anyone to join the boycott divestment and sanctions movement against Israel in order to convince them to stop their apartheid behavior. | |
| He has also cruelly compared the peaceful college students to the Ku Klux Klan because they were calling for an end to the slaughter in Gaza. | |
| Actions like These will diminish the Arab American vote for Harris and depress a large swath of the youth vote throughout the country. | |
| I really hope somebody is listening to me right now. | |
| I mean, between the governor's position on fracking and this boycott investment sanctions movement, uh, the fact that after even Iran, I mean, Israel's fighting a three-front war. | |
| And where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been. | |
| Well, you know, all they've been doing is lecturing Israel on need on their need to show restraint. | |
| They lost the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in a day based on their population size. | |
| And then over 10,000 kidnapped, having a hard time understanding why the left in this country, the radical left, in which Kamala Harris is now the leader of, I mean, she's the real squad leader. | |
| I mean, you got to laugh at Senator Kennedy when he said to Neil Cavuto, it was pretty funny exchange, and he goes, you know, she's a loon, and she's basically AOC without the bartending experience, which I thought was a typical quintessential funny Senator Kennedy of Louisiana line. | |
| But, you know, listen to what Michael Moore is saying here the base of this party has become so radicalized that you know they don't they don't want Josh Shapiro and will stay away. | |
| Look at what happened in Michigan. | |
| Over a hundred thousand people didn't vote for Joe Biden in the primary. | |
| And you see similar numbers in in Minnesota and similar numbers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. | |
| I mean, the radical left is that radical. | |
| How are they going to reconcile her desire to end all fracking, which is such a big part of the Pennsylvania economy? | |
| I know everybody wants to talk about J.D. Vance to death. | |
| Has anyone noticed that Kamala Harris has yet to do a single interview? | |
| That she doesn't sit down for and do interviews with anybody and all the radical positions that we've been pointing out. | |
| He hasn't done many interviews since she's been vice president, as we've been pointing out to you. | |
| So that's where it looks like it's going. | |
| Could be a head fake. | |
| I don't know, but if I had to bet, I'd say that it looks like probably the betting odds people are right, and it looks like it's going to be Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania as her VP pick, clearly in an attempt to get Pennsylvania back in the Democratic column, where you know, polls even now uh show that Kamala Harris is not winning. | |
| How that's going to go over, usually I hate to say it, but usually vice presidential candidates don't win the election. | |
| Uh we have the other issue that I think too few people have talked about, and that is this insane deal with the architect of 9-1101 that killed 2,977 of our fellow Americans and has taken the lives of thousands since through 9-11 related illnesses. | |
| And you know, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and anyway, they agreed the Biden administration did to this plea deal that keeps him in prison for life but spares him from the death penalty. | |
| And the families of the victims of 9-11, you know, look at this as the final insult. | |
| New York Post editorial board, it's been 23 years since we lost all those Americans, and they destroyed the Twin Towers and they hit the Pentagon, and that plane fell in the field in Pennsylvania, and families of the victims have been desperate for closure and desperate for justice, | |
| and they've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and now having already dishonored the sacrifice of all the troops and then the disastrous pull out of Afghanistan that killed 13 Americans, and you know, Biden dishonors the memories and Kamala Harris dishonors the memories of those slain on 9-11 by agreeing to a plea deal with a terrorist mastermind. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| Now we're also going to get into this other issue today, and that is, and it's an issue that I I I can totally sympathize with with people. | |
| If imagine if it's your loved one that is being held hostage, like for example, this Wall Street Journal reporter, or in the case of this Marine Paul Whalen of the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan uh uh Gerskovich is his name, | |
| that you know, sentenced to 16 years in in prison, all because Vladimir Putin wants a killer released and this deal with uh Krasikov, a convicted murderer that that Putin had been pushing to be free since 2021. | |
| You know, there's something that just if you listen to Democrats, and I'm just throwing this out there, because this is how they think. | |
| You know, think about this, but why would Vladimir Putin agree to free U.S. hostages? | |
| One a Marine and one a Wall Street Journal reporter. | |
| Um, which you might even argue was for him incredibly reasonable. | |
| Now, this was a complicated deal. | |
| It involves six countries and twenty-four prisoners, and came together after months and months of negotiations, and the main thrust of it for Putin was the Russian hitman of Adam uh Krasakov, and you know, which was the linchpin from from his standpoint, but 24 I think it was 12 hostages on our side, 24 prisoners being released by the West. | |
| You know, so why any reasonableness from a guy that has no problem targeting hospitals and infrastructure in Ukraine and killing, you know, it's just indiscriminate murder and talk about war crimes, where just George Clooney and his his wife when you need them. | |
| But putting that aside here, if if the Democrats, and I'm only asking the question because they're the ones that keep talking about Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Russia collusion. | |
| They're the ones that talk about Russia wanting to influence our elections constantly. | |
| They're the people that do that. | |
| Now I have a question. | |
| If you're Vladimir Putin, or you're President Chi, or you're the president, or you're the if you're part of the Iranian leadership, who would you want as president? | |
| Donald Trump who's not going to take any of your Adam Schiff or Kamala Harris after serving with Joe Biden. | |
| Kamala Harris that and Joe Biden that surrendered in the war on terror. | |
| Kamala Harris that wants to show the courage to never use the word radical Islamic terrorism again. | |
| Remember, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were fined to make a six billion dollar payment for as a ransom to Iran and make them rich and turn a blind eye to the sanctions Donald Trump put in place and let them bring in hundreds of millions of dollars and waive sanctions so that Iraq can pay them $10 billion. | |
| Well, what have they used that money for? | |
| They're funding the Houthi rebels out of Yemen, they're funding his ballad of the North out of Lebanon, including the rocket that went into that soccer field killing the kids. | |
| They helped plot, plan, and scheme the October 7th attacks, and now they're pledging revenge again. | |
| And last time when it came to Israel defending itself, okay, they they did help defend against the Iranian weapons, but said if you try to retaliate after all those weapons they tried to fire into Israel, uh you're on your own. | |
| We're not with you. | |
| What message, if you're if you're one of these bad actors on the world stage, who do you think you'd prefer as president? | |
| Kamala Harris or Donald J. Trump. | |
| Interesting people would like to know. | |
| Anyway, 800-941 Shauna's a number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Later in the program, Alan Dershwitz, he actually negotiated the deal. | |
| I remember if you remember the name Anatoly uh Sharansky. | |
| He was a big part of that. | |
| Uh he will join us coming up in the course of the program. | |
| Also, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney will talk about immigration issues, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah is livid about this boxer. | |
| Won't tell you about the Olympics. | |
| I mean, why is a biological woman fighting a biological man in the boxing ring? | |
| And then after 46 seconds, 47 seconds, that's it. | |
| No Moss, I'm finished. | |
| I mean, I think she had her nose broken in the process. | |
| Uh is this really the way it should be? | |
| I don't think so. | |

| You won't hear the mainstream press talking about this stuff. | |
| Sean Hannity is on the radio. | |
| All right, 25 to the top of the hour. | |
| I'm watching this scene unfold uh in Russia and Moscow, where Vladimir Putin is embracing the murderer that was just part of this prisoner swap. | |
| Uh we'll get a full complete report from Professor Dershowitz on this. | |
| Uh I mean, if you think about it, you can see it two way two ways, right? | |
| I mean, ideally, you never ever negotiate for the hostage. | |
| On the other hand, if it's your family member, you're gonna want your government to negotiate for a hostage. | |
| And in this case, you know, it's like two to one as always, six countries involved. | |
| It's just hard because you, you know, you know in your heart of hearts that it's just going to encourage more hostage taking and make Americans abroad targets. | |
| And that becomes problematic. | |
| Uh, but on the other hand, you know, I care about every American. | |
| I care about the Marine. | |
| I care about this Wall Street Journal. | |
| The Marine was there, I think, for four years in prison already, maybe six. | |
| I think it was six years. | |
| And, you know, this this Wall Street Journal reporter was sentenced to 16 years for being a spy in in Russia. | |
| He didn't do a thing. | |
| But meanwhile, Putin gets back his murdering thug friend that he embraces on the tarmac because he wants the world to see this. | |
| Hey, listen, in these tough economic times, the Biden Harris economy, you gotta find ways to save money, and one way to do it, not sacrifice service is with my cell phone company, a veteran-owned company known as Pure Talk. | |
| And the best part is you're gonna get the same exact cell cell towers, the same exact 5G network, in other words, the same exact service as the big carriers, Verizon ATT and T-Mobile, and you're gonna pay about half. | |
| The average family saves close to a thousand dollars a year, some pay more. | |
| Now, these big carriers want you to believe that you need unlimited data. | |
| That means they overcharge you because you never use it. | |
| Here is the fact most of you are buying way more data than you ever need. | |
| Now, at Pure Talk, for just 25 bucks a month, you'll get unlimited talk, unlimited text, you get five gigs of data. | |
| I'll explain that in a Moment, you get mobile hotspot, you get roaming in over fifty countries. | |
| Now, what is five gigs of data? | |
| Most of you don't know. | |
| I don't I didn't know until I learned from my friends of Pure Talk. | |
| With five gigs of data on your phone, you can browse the internet for 135 hours. | |
| You can stream a thousand songs and watch ten hours of video. | |
| Now, do you need more than that on any given month? | |
| Well, they have other plans for you. | |
| But you can stop overpaying for wireless. | |
| You can get the same 5G coverage, the same exact cell towers, the same coverage, and you're saving a fortune for the exact same service. | |
| Anyway, making the switch is easy and it's simple, and there's no contract and there's no activation fee. | |
| You simply dial pound two fifty, you say the keyword save now. | |
| Do it now, you'll save an additional 50% off your first month from our friends at Pure Talk. | |
| So we heard from Jerome Powell, I believe it was yesterday or the day before, that they are open to the possibility if economic numbers would warrant and dictate and inflation was under control, that they would in fact look at a possible rate cut just before the election. | |
| Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise. | |
| Well, okay, they got bad news today. | |
| And the Dow plunged one point eight percent, the SP down two percent, the Nasdaq slid three percent, and the Dow was down over what as of what, eight minutes ago, over six hundred points, and stock turns lower, stocks turn lower after data showed a measure of manufacturing activity from the Institute of for Supply Management. | |
| It dropped to an eight-month low in July at 46.8%, which would signify something they refer to in the economic field as a contraction. | |
| Anyway, the ISM is really what started the ball rolling, and then selling causes more selling, according to Tim Gorinsky of uh Grisky of the senior portfolio strategist Engels and Snyder, and we still, you know, in earnings season, there's going to be positive surprises that will probably drive the market higher, and maybe negative surprises as well. | |
| But if you get something negative like ISM, it causes profit taking. | |
| Look, I'm not the expert on the economy, and I don't offer advice on the economy to anybody because I'm not it's not my wheelhouse. | |
| It's not what I do. | |
| However, I have been predicting that we're gonna have a massive correction. | |
| It just uh it's in my gut, it's cyclical, always happens at some point, and it seems inevitable. | |
| Uh the DNC has begun their virtual roll call to head off any opposition for Kamala Harris, uh, this roll call to elect her, the only candidate who qualified to be on the delegates ballot, starting the official process to make her the party nominee weeks before the in-person convention. | |
| And by the way, the people in Ohio say this is totally completely unnecessary. | |
| Anyway, that roll call uh process will end Monday evening, two weeks before the delegates take to the convention floor in Chicago. | |
| Linda, you ready to go to Chicago? | |
| Have you gotten good recommendations on the best Chicago hot dogs with with natural casing? | |
| How are you doing in that department? | |
| That's all that matters to me. | |
| I mean, you know, between the prisoner schap and uh the KSM negotiations, I I really did. | |
| I gotta tell you, I fell down on the on the hot dog search. | |
| I'm gonna do that right now. | |
| You fell down on the hot dog search. | |
| There's no excuse for that. | |
| There's no excuse. | |
| This is embarrassing. | |
| That is a dereliction of duty. | |
| You are a man in search of a snap. | |
| Let me get on it. | |
| I don't know what I'm in search of. | |
| Uh so anyway, so Harris will be officially it looks like Josh Shapiro. | |
| Um, I'm not sure how many of you, um I would assume many of you have seen this by now, and it's really sad. | |
| And we'll show you on TV tonight. | |
| You have, you know, we talk about trans rights, etc., and we had Gillian Michaels on last night, the fitness expert. | |
| I mean, she was actually terrific in the interview that we had with her. | |
| She had done the podcast of Sage Steel, who I'm actually very fond of. | |
| I like Sage Steel a lot, and I think she's, you know, you might recall she worked at ESPN. | |
| And what Jillian Michael said on that podcast was just it was stunning. | |
| She's leaving California. | |
| She's moving to the free state of Florida. | |
| I left New York for the free state of Florida. | |
| Best decision I made. | |
| And almost without exception, all of my friends say I'm I'm gonna be meeting you down there as soon as I can. | |
| And I'd threaten to do this for a long time. | |
| The last two governors of New York. | |
| You know, get the hell out of here. | |
| Go down to Florida. | |
| Get on a bus. | |
| Lee Zelden, all you conservatives, you're not New Yorkers. | |
| And then, of course, Andrew Cuomo. | |
| You know, those that are pro-life and pro-sorg. | |
| Their problem is themselves. | |
| Who are they? | |
| Are they extreme conservatives who are right to life? | |
| Assault weapon in our second amendment. | |
| Is that who they are? | |
| Because if that's who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. | |
| So this is not who New Yorkers are. | |
| I've had two governors in a row basically say I'm not wanted. | |
| And so I had to, you know, my kids had obligations, and that was the real reason that I stayed, not for myself. | |
| I wanted to get out for a long time. | |
| So here's Jillian Michaels, one of the most successful, and one of the best, to be honest with you, you know, health, wellness, fitness, nutrition people in the country. | |
| And I had her on last night. | |
| We have her on for a good long interview. | |
| And she said in this podcast with Sage Steele, and she reiterated this last night. | |
| She goes, I grew up here, meaning California. | |
| I'm a woman. | |
| I'm a gay woman. | |
| My mom's Jewish. | |
| My dad's an Arab. | |
| I have a black kid, and believe it or not, my son is half Latin, even though he doesn't look like it, she said, Oh, that's politically incorrect. | |
| God help her. | |
| Anyway, then she told Sage that I hold a million cards in your game of woke victimology poker. | |
| And when I leave New York, maybe you've lost your effing mind. | |
| Just maybe. | |
| Like when you have me, you know, running from home. | |
| Maybe it's gone way too far. | |
| I mean, I wish I was that articulate. | |
| I mean, it was said so perfectly. | |
| You know, some of these laws they're passing here, absolutely effing are mind boggling in relation to crime, protecting our kids, decriminalizing everything, which arguably I'd probably be okay with, but we're not regulating any of it. | |
| You know, when you're gonna go into all of it. | |
| You know, she said, I'm a liberal. | |
| She goes, you know, all right, let's say a 12-year-old can put on off-label, can be put on off-label cancer drugs to irreparably change their body. | |
| And she said, if my son came to me and said, Mom, or my daughter came to me and said, I think I'm trans, I'd say, okay. | |
| You know, and she said, I'd talk to them and I'd accept him. | |
| And if you want to dress this way, that's fine. | |
| You want me to call you whatever you want and dress whatever way you want, explore it. | |
| I love you. | |
| I'm cool. | |
| You know, do as you, you know, as long as what you do is safe, but we're not changing your body until it's fully developed. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Conversation's over. | |
| You can't get an effing tattoo. | |
| I mean, it's hard to look at it that way. | |
| I mean, think about that. | |
| And now California's gone in the direction where Gavin Newsom, you know, you you can't even tell parents what what their kids are up to as if parents don't have any rights anymore. | |
| I mean, for years, it's like the left is wanted to take our kids from the moment they're born and raise them and indoctrinate them into good little, you know, leftists and socialists. | |
| Anyway, I just felt bad back to the story of this Olympia and Sharon Davies uh blasted organizers uh about this Italian, her name is Angela Carini, you know, had to throw in the towel, getting clobbered by two punches of an opponent who was banned from the world championships after being deemed biologically male. | |
| Now, is it really so earth-shattering to acknowledge that there are differences, physical differences between men and women. | |
| And in most cases, there are plenty of exceptions. | |
| Like I do mixed martial arts. | |
| I promise you that there are mixed martial artists that are professionals. | |
| I'm an old guy. | |
| They'll kick my ass that are women. | |
| And I wouldn't be stupid enough to tangle with them. | |
| But they're but they're talented, but but by and large. | |
| So here, you know, if you become an Olympic athlete, you have to spend so many Years of your life preparing for that moment. | |
| I mean, think about what it takes, the effort to put in. | |
| After the match was stopped, they think that she broke her nose. | |
| You know, uh Karini's visibly furious, you know, who is uh she's a police officer in in Italy, yanked her own hand away from the fight official, stormed off, and I don't blame her, ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter, then plunged to their knees and burst into tears and said she never felt such strong blows in a contest before. | |
| Well, does that make sense? | |
| And, you know, she said, I'm used to suffering, I've never taken a punch like that. | |
| It's impossible to continue. | |
| I'm nobody to say she said it's illegal. | |
| I got into the ring to fight, but I didn't feel it like I didn't feel like it anymore after the first minute. | |
| I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. | |
| And, you know, but a punch hurts so much. | |
| Does this sound right to people? | |
| Is there anybody because this is where the radical left is taking us? | |
| And what does this have to do with where we are in the presidential campaign? | |
| This is what the left, you know, go back to Kamala Harris's radicalism. | |
| Go back to her position, you know, that when she was out in California, you know, gender assignment surgeries for prisoners that you're gonna pay for. | |
| I mean, I mean this is madness. | |
| I know she's trying to run away from all of the different positions she's had from illegal immigration and you know, mandatory gun buybacks and fracking and et cetera. | |
| But this is the radical left. | |
| You know, no private health care. | |
| Well, I'm running back from that position, too. | |
| Green New Deal, but we're not gonna have guaranteed jobs. | |
| That just came out today. | |
| I'm against fracking. | |
| Well, now you're gonna pick the governor of Pennsylvania who state entirely depends on fracking for high-paying career jobs, and you're against drilling with no restrictions on abortion, who happens to be Jewish and is attacked by the likes of Michael Moore, | |
| you know, for not supporting the BDS movement, and comparing those those protesters, you know, that were pro-Hamas on college campuses to the KKK, and that it likely will lose Michigan if Kamala Harris dares to choose somebody who's Jewish, | |
| and Kamala herself who surrendered in the war on radical Islamic terrorism, who doesn't even want to use the term radical Islamic terrorism, who supports a 70 to 80% tax rate, who sponsored the Green New Deal, who sponsored Medicare for All that would eliminate private health insurance. | |
| That's all her positions. | |
| And it's like the media, she's yet to do an interview since all of this has gone down, not a single interview. | |
| And all the media wants to talk about is J.D. Vance and attack Donald Trump. | |
| I mean, we live in very, very strange times. | |
| There's not going to be any vetting. | |
| That's why we're putting up Kamala Harris's the definitive book, all of the information, all the cuts, all of her in her own words on Hannity.com. | |
| Why? | |
| So that you can use it as I deputize all of you. | |
| Because we don't have a media that is fair and honest and objective and that will vet Kamala Harris. | |
| We don't have big tech that will allow the same to happen. | |
| You know, I didn't find out till much later that my social media accounts, according to Congressman Jim Jordan, he was on TV one and he goes, yeah, uh Sean, we found out your accounts were suppressed before the 2020 election. | |
| Like, what? | |
| So you got a deep state, you got a radicalized Democratic Party, you got a corrupt state-run media mob in the tank, like they were for Joe Biden in 2020, now in the tank for Kamala Harris. | |
| They won't vet her, they'll protect her. | |
| And now I guess you're getting, you know, you're getting the world's worst actors. | |
| If you listen to Democrats, they would probably be screaming, election interference, Russia, Russia, Russia. | |
| Well, I don't know. | |
| I mean, just use your own common sense. | |
| Who do you think that these world despots and and dictators would rather have as president? | |
| A guy like Donald Trump is going to fight back and kick their ass. | |
| Or Kamala Harris that doesn't want us to she wants us to be courageous and never use the term, you know, Islamic terror radical Islamic terrorism again. | |
| Or illegal alien again. | |
| Look at all the people that have been murdered because of their unvetted Paris fighting illegal immigrants from 180 countries, including countries with terror ties and countries that are our top geopolitical foes. | |
| Anybody in the media gonna ask them about those people? | |
