	Hour two, Sean Hannity's show, 800-941-Sean is a number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	I know a lot of you want to get in today, and we're going to make that happen.
	91 days until Election Day, 42 days until early voting begins in the Commonwealth, the great state of Pennsylvania, as we have been going over exhaustively the radical, extreme, and dangerous record of Tim Walz and what was frankly a shocking decision.
	I mean, they have just doubled down on radical.
	They have doubled down on the squad.
	They have doubled down on AOC.
	They have doubled down on the Green New Deal.
	They have doubled down on open borders.
	They have doubled down on defund, dismantled, no bail laws.
	They have doubled down on no fracking and no energy, domestic energy production.
	They have doubled down on the stupidity of their foreign policy.
	Can't say the words.
	Have the courage not to say radical Islamic terrorism or illegal alien.
	They've doubled down on all of it.
	JD Vance excoriated Tim Walz today.
	I'll get to some of him.
	He'll be on Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
	But one of the issues I've not really spent a lot of time on yet, because I wanted to save this for our next guest, Selena Zito, who I'll introduce to you in a minute.
	Now, we expect at some point in the next two hours that we're going to hear from Governor Josh Shapiro.
	We'll hear from Kamala Harris.
	We'll hear from Tim Walz.
	I know the Democratic base, they're in Philly, and they're going to have all the energy in the world.
	You're going to think this is the biggest thing.
	It is when America gets to realize this fact.
	There has never been a more radical, more extreme presidential candidate, vice presidential candidate in the history of the country that things will turn around.
	Now the question is, how is it possible?
	We watched in the lead up to this something that I know is coming from the radical left.
	The one that was probably most outspoken on the record of it about it was Michael Moore.
	And Michael Moore admonishing Kamala Harris not to pick Governor Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania.
	Now, Minnesota, well, there's been polls that showed that when Joe Biden was in the race, that maybe the state could be in play, but it's been a long time since a Republican has ever won the presidency.
	And with all the laws and the lack of voter integrity in the state of Pennsylvania, and they don't want any voter ID, any illegal immigrants get legal driver's licenses.
	Anyway, it just probably was out of reach, but it was interesting to follow for a while.
	Okay, so maybe the pick of Tim Walz gets you Minnesota.
	There you go.
	You're going to get that state.
	What else does he bring?
	He basically is echoing the radicalism of Kamala Harris.
	And that raises the question, well, what happened to Governor Josh Shapiro in all of this?
	Now, the Hill reported that a number of voices on the far left had gone really hard after Shapiro.
	You could see it.
	I mean, their fingerprints were all over these articles about a sexual harassment payout, about Shapiro being critical of the students that were taking over buildings on college campuses.
	Michael Moore said he compared him to the KKK, that he's against the BDS movement.
	Well, he happens to be Jewish and he happens to practice his faith.
	And he happens to have a little bit of moral clarity, unlike the rest of this radicalized Democratic Socialist New Green Deal party, that there is right and wrong and that Israel was attacked and Israel should be able to win their war against radical Islamic terrorism.
	And you should be able to say the words.
	But as the Hill pointed out, you know, the number of voices of the far left that clearly Kamala listened to in the end went after Shapiro over his position over the Israel-Hamas war, accusing the 51-year-old Pennsylvania governor of blindly supporting Israel's aggressive military campaign at the expense of tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been killed in the conflict.
	And many even went as far as to label him genocide Josh, which is just outrageous.
	Congressperson Jared Moskowitz said Joss's position on Israel is almost identical to everybody else, but he's being held to a different standard.
	So you have to ask yourself why.
	And I think it's a fair question.
	And it goes further than that.
	Even John Fetterman was out there, the senator from Pennsylvania, warning Harris's campaign against picking Shapiro.
	And Fetterman aides informed the Harris campaign about their concerns, including that Shapiro is too focused on his own personal ambitions.
	And Fetterman and Shapiro apparently have not exactly been friends, according to my sources, for quite a long time.
	Selena will know a lot more about this than I do.
	Democrats are even shocked over this selection.
	You have the Republican Jewish Coalition.
	I mean, they went after this issue really hard.
	A particular concern for the American Jewish community is Governor Wall's embrace of the most vicious anti-Israel, anti-Semitic member of Congress, and that's Congresswoman Omar.
	Walls has endorsed and supported his notorious squad member for years, championing her as a progressive leader in Congress.
	This is the same disgraceful Congresswoman Omar who has trafficked in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, falsely accusing Israel of genocide and apartheid and voting against funding for the Iron Dome Missile Defense System that is currently protecting countless innocent civilians in Israel from terror attacks.
	And we are on the verge, by the way, of a potential all-out war breaking out in the Middle East.
	And remember the last time that Iran fired missiles at Israel, well, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would not support their efforts to rightly retaliate.
	Governor Wall's record, they go on completely AWOL in the summer of 2020 when he let rioters burn sections of Minneapolis to the ground, signing a bill to reduce prison sentences for violent criminals, gaslighting parents and business owners during draconian COVID shutdowns,
	saying, oh, it's not that bad, the laws he put in place, covering up for Joe's obvious cognitive decline, saying, well, this is ageism, signing a bill to give illegal immigrants free tuition, driver's licenses, health benefits.
	And then, of course, you can add to that everything else I've been telling you in the last two hours.
	By the way, students are gearing up for round two of these pro-Palestinian, in some cases, pro-Hamas protests.
	They've been planning all summer long, they said.
	So this anyway, this pickle of walls over Shapiro, well, okay, he's Jewish and he's observant.
	He practices his faith.
	Anyway, Van Jones said there's relief from conservatives and disquiet in the Jewish community.
	Anyway, Selena Zito is with us.
	We welcome her back to the program.
	She knows more about the politics in Pennsylvania than anybody, national political reporter for the Washington Examiner.
	Also a great grandmother, according to reports.
	How are you?
	I'm awesome.
	How are you today?
	All right.
	You've known Josh Shapiro for how long?
	25 years.
	What could you tell us about what you may or may not know or what you're willing to report?
	There's usually no more than you can tell.
	But can you give us some insight into this?
	Well, you know, Josh has had, quite frankly, quite honestly, a very smart career in his trajectory to being the Pennsylvania governor.
	He was in the state house.
	He wasn't there very long, and he became the first and only deputy House Speaker with a Republican.
	But he quickly found that he's not really good being one of 200, right?
	So he left and he ran for Montgomery County Commissioner, one.
	He ran for state attorney general, won both times, and then ran for governor.
	And, you know, he was very lucky when he ran for governor.
	He ran against a blood candidate and Doug Bastriano, who did not really spend a lot of time talking about the issues and sort of closed himself off from access with the press.
	And so people really didn't know what his message was.
	And so Shapiro was really smart to go out in the smaller counties like Erie, Cambria, Beaver, Luzerne counties, former Democrat counties that Trump had flipped.
	And he was able to put this coalition together of Democrats and Republicans to win by like 17 percentage points.
	It was a historic win.
	So knowing all of that, his trajectory was on its way to him running as for president in maybe 2028.
	And he had a good story to tell as this person, right?
	He's a guy who shows up in places that other Democrats don't show up.
	So to see him then be courted to be the vice president, you know, I just thought, as long as I've known Josh, it was not a good stick.
	Even watching him giving the speeches, the couple speeches that he gave, you could see a discomfort with him because he's never been an attack dog.
	And so I wonder if it wasn't that, you know, the question I think we ask is, did Josh say no or did Harris not ask him?
	I think that's the next question in this story.
	I don't know if we'll ever get the real answer to be reported, but in my mind, there's got to be something going on.
	Let me quote Van Jones some more.
	But you have this anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party.
	And you could be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot.
	But there are anti-Semite, anti-Jewish bigots out there.
	And there's some disquiet now, and there has to be.
	You know, how much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts of the Democratic Party?
	Pretty powerful statement from him.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, I think he was on point in saying this.
	And, you know, those of us at a certain age who grew up with this Democratic Party are sort of stunned to see this coming out of this party.
	They were the most supportive of Israel and the Jewish people throughout sort of decades since Israel became its own nation.
	And I think that's a big part of why if he wasn't picked, I think that played into it.
	But I also think it's important to note that I think Nancy Pelosi played a really big part in this as well.
	And she signaled that this week when she told, when she had one of her people tell the Hill how much she liked Tim Waltz.
	We tend to forget that members of Congress that ran in one in Republican districts in 2006, like Tim Walz, were the men and women that made Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House in 2007, right?
	Walls defeated a six-term Republican in a conservative state.
	And she, you know, had never really been able to pay those members back.
	A lot of them lost in 2010.
	Now, as a congressman, Waltz has been center, had been sort of in the center because he represented a center-right district.
	But once he was not one of 400 and he became an executive, his true far-left governing style became immediately evident.
	And I think they picked him because of sort of this fondness that Pelosi has for him.
	But also they have decided that this is a base election.
	They are not going for Republican voters.
	They're not going for former Haley voters.
	They're not going for independents.
	They're going for the base, and they're going to try to put them up.
	Let me go back to Josh for one second and ask this question.
	I would expect nothing other than for him to go out there as passionately as he can supporting the ticket today.
	But do you think that he really believes that?
	Because I would doubt it.
	Here's what I think.
	This is my only prediction that I have made about the entire VEEP thing, is I think that Josh Shapiro will go out today and give a powerful, inspiring, aspirational speech.
	And every Democrat's going to weep.
	And every never Trump Republican is going to weep because they saw what they could have had.
	And then they'll see what they're going to get.
	And I think that what Josh will be able to do today is signal that I'll see you in 2028.
	I think the best thing for Shapiro...
	that means he thinks they're going to lose well i mean i don't want to put yeah i mean you don't want to put words in it but i i don't think that i listen i know the people of pennsylvania really well And hardest working people on earth, salt of the earth.
	They're not these bitter people clinging to their God, guns, Bibles, and religion, as Obama famously said.
	They're hardworking people.
	They're people that love their country.
	They're people that are salt of the earth.
	They're the people that make the country great.
	He's also no fracking.
	So you have two no-frackers on the ticket.
	Well, that's great.
	That's not great for Pennsylvania's economy.
	But Selena, you always have the best info.
	When is your column coming out on this?
	It should be up shortly.
	You can just go to SelenaZito.com and you can find it.

	We have JD Vance has been out there today making some really interesting comments.
	And let's go to some of what he had to say today.
	I really want to make just one final observation.
	You know, I know most of you.
	I like all of you as people, or at least I like the ones of you that I know.
	I think that you guys have got to do a better job at actually forcing Kamala Harris to answer questions.
	This is a person who's been the presumptive Democrat nominee for 16 days.
	She hasn't taken a single real question from a reporter.
	The American people deserve to get to know the people who want to lead them.
	And I think it's shameful for Kamala Harris, but increasingly for the media, that she's taking a basement strategy of running from reporters instead of getting in front of them, answering tough questions about her record and letting the American people know who she is.
	President Trump and I take hostile questions, we take non-hostile Questions.
	We get out there and talk to people because we respect the American people enough to want to persuade them and not to try to run from them.
	So I think you guys got to do a better job.
	That's my humble opinion.
	Tim Waltz's record is a joke.
	He's been one of the most far-left radicals in the entire United States government at any level.
	But I think that what Tim Waltz's selection says is that Kamala Harris has bent the knee to the far left of her party, which is what she always does.
	Kamala Harris listened to the Hamas wing of the party.
	She selected Tim Waltz, a guy who wants to ship more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to give illegal aliens driver's license, and who wants to make the fentanyl crisis that we just heard about so much worse because he refuses to do his job and actually make it easier for American citizens and not illegal aliens to live a good life.
	So I think what it says is that Kamala Harris is running as a San Francisco liberal.
	She has governed as a San Francisco liberal, and she's chosen a running mate who will be a San Francisco-style liberal.
	The last thing that I'll say about Tim Waltz is, to her credit, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz do make an interesting team because if we remember the rioting in the summer of 2020, Tim Waltz was the guy who let rioters burn down Minneapolis, and then Kamala Harris was the one who bailed the rioters out of jail.
	So there's an interesting team in that sense.
	I mean, I really find that JD Vance has hit his stride.
	I mean, it's always difficult for anybody when they get picked to be a vice presidential candidate.
	I mean, it's overwhelming.
	And I did the first interview with JD Vance at the convention the night he was selected, and I asked him every tough question that I knew that he was going to be asked in the course of the days, weeks, and months ahead.
	He had no problem answering any of them.
	His life story is beyond inspiring, coming from Appalachia, dirt, dirt, poor, alcoholic, drug addict, mother, missing father, MIA, and then found his way into the Marine Corps, actually went to Iraq, unlike Tim Walz.
	And from there, he also then gets out, goes to Ohio State, graduates in two years.
	He goes to Yale Law School, where he graduates at the top of his class.
	I think the funnier thing that came out, I don't know if you saw the interview on Fox and Friends the last two days, but his wife, Usher, Usha, rather, has been, you know, she was number one in the class, and he was not.
	He was just in the top 1%.
	Pretty funny.
	I mean, when you compare his radicalism to Kamala Harris, what do you have?
	Kamala Harris co-sponsoring Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All Act.
	I mean, this is basically the gubernatorial version of Bernie Sanders.
	And as part of that Medicare for All Act, remember, Kamala would proudly get rid of all private health insurance.
	You couldn't have your own plan.
	Whatever happened to keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save money.
	Well, now you didn't save money.
	Many lost their doctors.
	Now you're not even going to be allowed to keep your plan.
	You know, sponsored a bill Kamala did to provide illegals with legal representation, wanted to decriminalize illegal immigration, offer free education, free health care.
	Same thing with Tim Waltz.
	You know, introduced, you know, both of them are against dead set against fracking.
	You know, Kamala Harris, you know, has a plan to phase out fossil fuels.
	So does Tim Waltz.
	You know, both are part of this defund, dismantle, no-bail law madness.
	In the Senate, Kamala Harris sponsored a bill to advance the Green New Deal, $90 trillion of bankruptcy redistribution that would absolutely destroy and eviscerate even further the economy that has gone south from the minute they took over.
	I mean, the attacks that she has made against ICE agents, the positions that she's taken on the border, the position she has taken on abortion.
	Both of these people are extraordinarily radical.
	You know, both take, you know, don't want any integrity measures, although Kamala once said that we should have paper ballots, but she's gone away from that.
	She sponsored a bill to expand vote by mail, early in-person voting, but just for her election in 2020.
	You know, touting her role, delivering the most ambitious climate agenda in history.
	That's exactly where Tim Walz is.
	Both against fracking, both against the Keystone XL pipeline.
	Both had an absolute disgraceful record when it came to the COVID pandemic.
	You know, even Kamala's case, supporting banning plastic straws, sponsoring, oh, they want the replacement of existing school buses with electric buses.
	Kamala saying that record high gas prices are the price to pay for democracy, supporting reducing red meat consumption.
	He sued the Obama administration even for allowing fracking off the California coast at the time.
	That defund the police activist Mandela Barnes for Senate.
	She supported that person.
	Reimagine the role of the police.
	She supported Garcetti's $150 million cut for police after the George Floyd riots, after she put out her tweet for the bail fund.
	Encourage people to donate to that bail fund.
	That bail fund ended up allowing people, as the head of the bail fund said, and I played it on TV: we don't even care what the crime is.
	We don't even look at it.
	Well, some of them were murderers.
	Then, of course, the surrender in the war against terrorism.
	And, you know, we need to be courageous and get rid of the words and not say the words radical Islamic terrorism.
	Nodding along with a student accusing Israel of ethnic genocide and then telling the student, well, your truth cannot be suppressed.
	Skipping Netanyahu's address at the Capitol.
	Single-payer health care, both of them support this.
	She wanted a gun buyback program, supports an all-out assault weapons ban.
	They're totally in sync on all of this.
	This is extreme.
	This is radical.
	And this is dangerous.
	Both want people that are put in prison to be allowed to vote.
	It's crazy.
	Supported eliminating the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal.
	Forgot that part.
	Never mind that she thought the 70 to 80 percent tax rate that AOC was initiating was a bold idea.
	She wants to even tax, you know, raise corporate taxes, individual taxes, small business taxes, estate taxes, unrealized capital gains taxes.
	And clearly, Tim Walz is in full sync with this.
	You know, they're not going to let up those riders in 2020.
	Both of them, frankly, their handling of the riots in the summer of 2020, disgraceful.
	All right, let's get to our busy phones.
	Brian in Minnesota.
	Brian, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
	Hi.
	How are you doing, Sean?
	I'm good, sir.
	What's going on?
	You got a crazy governor there, buddy.
	Wow, you're not kidding.
	I am very ecstatic that she picked him as her running mate for the simple fact that he's no longer going to be our governor.
	Does he have to resign to go on the ticket, or you're assuming they're going to win?
	Because I wouldn't assume that.
	Well, I would think he would have to resign in order to go to all his rallies.
	Why should the citizens of Minnesota pay for it go everywhere?
	Happens all the time.
	I don't think I have not seen anything that he'd have to resign.
	My guess is he stays on as governor, and he spends all his time out on the campaign trail for the next 91 days.
	Well, I hope that he resigns and puts all his effort into a campaign that I don't think is going to make it.
	At least I really hope doesn't make it.
	That's why he's going to hang on to his current job so he has a fallback job, don't you think?
	Well, you know, I would think there should be some kind of stipulation that he should have to resign.
	Well, I actually think that's not a bad idea either.
	Anyway, Brian, appreciate it.
	We'll stay in Minnesota.
	DJ, DJ, thanks for checking in.
	What's going on?
	How do you feel about your governor?
	Well, I'm ashamed to be from Minnesota at this point, but I'm raised here.
	I'm born and raised here.
	I just wanted to say, first off, Sean, I love your show.
	But secondly, that Tim is locked up with people like Ilhan Omar, who's embarrassingly from Minnesota, and Keith Ellison.
	I believe that that played into the decision process.
	It had to.
	And if people don't think it did, I think they're.
	Did I lose you?
	I think your phone's cropping out on us.
	Sorry, DJ, we lost your buddy.
	Mike in North Carolina, what's up, Mike?
	How are you?
	Hey, hey, Sean.
	It's great to get a chance to talk to you, sir.
	What's going on?
	Glad you called.
	Well, just looking at the VP pick, Walls there, and the Harris-Biden ticket, what all they've done to small business.
	My small business, they've cost us about $60,000 over the last three years.
	Their open border policies and everything is going to kill the United States.
	I've got two fields that I've worked in, welding, and then I'm running a truck owner operator on a truck right now.
	And talked to a gentleman in Texas that the illegals and the immigrants coming across the border took his welding job.
	And then in the trucking industry, they're putting all these immigrants and people in them that can't even speak English.
	The fuel prices have gone through the roof.
	Maintenance prices have gone through the roof.
	Everything has.
	They're going to kill, they're going to completely decimate the middle class and small business owners all across the country.
	I hate to tell you, they're already doing it.
	That's the problem.
	I mean, look at, you know, two-thirds of the country are living paycheck to paycheck.
	25% of Americans are foregoing meals.
	You see, the record high inflation, what you bought four years ago is costing the average family about $11,000, $12,000 more a year.
	Real wages are down significantly.
	Under Trump, everything was up.
	Wide open borders.
	You have a national security threat.
	D-Fund dismantled Nobel laws that they both support.
	Well, now you have a personal safety security problem in your small town or big city.
	On the issue of energy, they both are anti-energy independence.
	On the issue of the economy, they both buy into this high taxation, record inflation, and to punish success in America, redistribution, radical new green dealism.
	Both obviously have radical positions on foreign policy.
	They don't believe that America should be the leader of the free world.
	That puts the entire world in danger.
	They are extreme.
	They are radical, and they're dangerous.
	These policies are downright dangerous.
	We're on the precipice here of World War III because of Biden and Harris.
	If it's Harrison and Walls, I mean, I never thought you'd have anybody more radical than Biden, but you do.
	And it's Kamala Harris and Governor Walsh.
	And they're going to sound all great today.
	They're going to be all energized, and the crowd's going to be energized.
	Yay!
	And all happy.
	But I'm going to tell you something.
	Pay attention to who they really are.
	We'll do the job the media won't do.
	We will continue to vet them.
	We'll continue to get the information out.
	We'll put it all on Hannity.com so you can download it and use it.
	Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call.
	800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I've brought up the USCCA many times now, but it's kind of a different time here.
	We all saw what happened to the president.
	We know what's happening with D-Fund, dismantle, no bail laws.
	We see the most radical presidential, vice presidential ticket in our history.
	Look, I'm telling you, these are times that are scary to me.
	That means you can't wait any longer to be a USCCA member because security for yourself and your family begins at the personal level.
	Regardless of how quick any police response team may be, it's not going to be quick enough because whatever is going to happen will have already happened.
	I proudly joined the USCCA nine years ago.
	You get world-class safety training, self-defense liability insurance.
	As we've seen, attacks are going to continue.
	It's going to be unpredictable.
	They're violent.
	You know, everyone thinks they're keeping their families safe, but we've recently seen that bad things can happen everywhere and you just can't rely on the authorities.
	I want to give you something for free.
	It's the USCCA's free family defense guide.
	It's a life-saving resource.
	They have updated information for our current world that you can't afford to miss.
	You can download the guide.

	Anyway, just text my last name, Hannity.
