	Sean Kennedy is on.
	All right.
	Thank you, Scott Chad, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Here is our toll-free telephone number.
	It's 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program for about an hour now, President Trump at Mar-a-Lago has been taking questions from the state-run media mob, something that Kamala Harris, something that Tim Walz won't do.
	And as we come on the air today, we have a lot of controversy now swirling about stolen valor and Tim Walz' decision to lie about his service and his fellow National Guardsman, not JD Vance, leveling the stolen valor allegations against Tim Walz on top of his radicalism.
	The Harris campaign has now tweaked Walls' biography, which is nothing but an admission that, in fact, it's true.
	And yet, you know, here we are, what, day 18 or 19?
	We're about three weeks in and Kamala Harris, no press conference, no interviews.
	JD Vance is doing them.
	And Donald Trump's been doing it.
	Let's pick it up from Mar-a-Lago right now live.
	But you'll have to ask her.
	But I've known her for a long time.
	I actually contributed to her campaign a long time ago because I was a developer.
	I contributed to lots of campaigns of Democrats, Republicans, and some were liberal and some were conservative.
	But you'll have to ask her about that.
	But to me, it doesn't matter.
	But to her, from her standpoint, I think it's very disrespectful to both, really.
	Whether it's Indian or black, I think it's very disrespectful to both.
	To me, it doesn't matter.
	I bring it up.
	I bring it up.
	Red dress.
	One of the assassinations.
	Is your ear fully recovered?
	Is there a scar?
	Do you have a very damage fully relevant?
	Pretty much recovered.
	I'm a fast healer.
	It's a hell of a shot.
	But I'm a fast healer.
	Yeah, pretty much recovered.
	Do you have your damage from it?
	No, it didn't hit that.
	I got very lucky.
	It just hit the lobe, as they call it.
	Is there a scar on your ear?
	Yeah, a little bit.
	Not much.
	On top.
	On immigration a little bit.
	An immigration question.
	You've been running on the idea of mass deportation, which is the biggest in American history is basically what you want.
	When Senator Vance is going to ask about that, he sort of suggested that really you only need to go after people who've been convicted of crime.
	So, okay, so what are you really talking about here?
	How would you pay for it?
	And do you think you can pass something like that to America?
	The largest mass deportation in the history of our country because we have no choice.
	It's not sustainable.
	And we are going to start with violent criminals, and we're going to start then with criminals.
	And our local police is going to work with us because they know everything about the people.
	They know their names.
	They know everything about them.
	They know their middle name.
	They know their numbers.
	And as you know, the other side is trying.
	You know, look, for years I wondered why are they allowing these people to come in at levels like this?
	It was incredible.
	And I said, two reasons.
	They're either really stupid, and I don't believe they're stupid, because anybody that can cheat on elections like they cheat, it's not stupid.
	Or, in the alternative, they have bad motives or they hate our country.
	And I used to think they hate our country.
	But lately, I've seen where they're trying to sign these people up to vote.
	And they have to stop.
	They cannot let illegal immigrants vote in this upcoming election.
	All right, one more question.
	Mr. President, President.
	Go ahead, one more.
	Make it a good one, please.
	Okay, regarding Social Security taxes for seniors, which we've talked about a while, experts say that the policy could increase the deficit by $1.6 billion.
	So how would it work in your view?
	We have so many ways of making money in this country.
	We're not going to affect our Social Security.
	We're not changing it.
	And I proved that over four years.
	And we're going to do it.
	It's very unfair to people.
	They spend their life and they're great citizens and they pay in.
	We're not going to charge tax to Social Security, the seniors.
	We're not going to do it.
	We're not going to charge.
	And also tax.
	I say the two things.
	We're going to have no tax on seniors, Social Security, and we're going to have no tax on tips.
	Very simple.
	And we are a country that has so many different ways to make money.
	We have under our feet more liquid gold, I call it oil and gas, than any country in the world, much more than Saudi Arabia, much more than Russia.
	We have so many different ways we can make money.
	We're not going to hurt our seniors with Social Security, and we're not going to charge them tax.
	Okay?
	Can I speak one in on this?
	Well, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President.
	If sanctuary cities or municipalities are willing to cooperate, how do you plan to enforce that?
	We should not have sanctuary cities.
	Sanctuary cities is a way of protecting criminals, and we should not have sanctuary cities.
	And if you go to California, and I know it well, I have property out there, great property.
	If you go to California and you ask the people of California, do they like the idea of sanctuary cities?
	They don't like it.
	They're tired of it.
	They're tired of crime.
	They're tired of what's happened to our country.
	Our country has become a crime-ridden mess, and we're going to stop it on November 5th.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. Speaker.
	I was a little over an hour.
	I tell you, this QA in particular is where it got very, very interesting.
	And I just think it's worth hearing.
	I think we're going to run a lot of this in the final hour of the program today.
	I've got a great Cracker Jack team that is able to turn that around.
	And I just think it is worth doing.
	There are a lot of themes that came up in this press conference, which, frankly, if this election ever becomes about the issues that matter to Americans and you, all of you listening, if the issue becomes about their belief in sanctuary cities and states and Walls believes in illegal immigrants should get driver's licenses and free college tuition,
	and he believes that they should get free health care and housing and et cetera, et cetera.
	That's a big issue.
	Kamala Harris, their political soulmate, she wants to decriminalize illegal immigration.
	The president earlier in the press conference went into great specificity and detail.
	She is the border czar.
	And all the people in the media called her the border czar until, of course, she gave out instructions that they no longer call her that.
	Oh, no, the border czar.
	That's not what my position is to justify the 11 million unvetted illegal immigrants.
	Now we know that there are terrorists in this country, 99 of them they released, or people with terror ties that they've released into our country.
	Does that surprise you when you look at the list of countries where unvetted, nearly 11 million unvetted illegal immigrants have come from, Iran?
	Are they really coming all the way from Iran because they want a better life for themselves and their kids?
	Are they coming from Syria for the same reason?
	Are they coming from Egypt and Afghanistan for the same reason?
	Are they coming from, but in the tens and tens of thousands from China and Russia for the same reasons?
	You know, is it true that in Venezuela that they've emptied the prisons and said go to America?
	And look at all the people.
	And we've scrolled their names of all the people that have been murdered, like Lake and Riley and Christopher Gadd.
	Have you ever heard of these names?
	Lisbeth Medina, Melissa and Reardon Powell, Cynthia Golding.
	You ever hear of her?
	Chester Edwards.
	Ever hear of this individual?
	Deborah Brando or Nazareth Tamer Klor.
	I'm probably mispronouncing it.
	Please forgive me if you're a family member.
	It's not my intention.
	Or Connor Holcomb or Andy Linda Blair or Isidro Cortez or Musa Fovana or America Malfaldo Thayer or Corbin Wagner or Gretchen Gross or Ifaro Gilbert or Mario Rios or Diane Luckett or Rachel Morin, the mother of five or Lake and Riley.
	I've spoken with Lake and Riley's family.
	I've interviewed Jocelyn Nungeri.
	That's that 12-year-old little girl that was brutalized for two hours, strangled and murdered in cold blood in Houston, Texas.
	And I can keep going.
	And I can keep going and going and going.
	And that's only the people murdered by unvetted Harris-Biden illegal immigrants.
	And at some point, you've got to ask yourself, when do they get held accountable?
	When do they have to answer a question about this?
	When do they say they are sorry?
	When do they ever make amends for these horrible policies?
	Kamala Harris wants to decriminalize people that enter our country illegally.
	Well, we have laws in this country.
	You take an oath to the Constitution.
	She's lecturing us about democracy and peril.
	She didn't get a single vote.
	Basically, a coup behind the scenes.
	And she gets anointed, you know, to take over for Biden, and they disenfranchise every Democratic primary voter, and they don't really care.
	And that's okay.
	When do we get answers on all of this?
	You know, Kamala Harris may be the Democratic nominee, but she inherits all of Joe Biden's and all their failures on the border.
	You know, look at Tim Walz and his position.
	You know, for days on end, he allowed allowed Minneapolis to burn.
	His wife, in an interview, she brought herself into politics.
	Hannity brought up Walls' wife.
	Well, she's the one that said she opened the windows during the rioting, and she said rioting, her words, in 2020, so she could smell rubber burning in this historic moment.
	I would say those first days, you know, when there were riots, I could smell the burning tires.
	And that was a very real thing.
	And I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.
	I mean, just think about this.
	Ask yourself: is America more safe and secure?
	The immigration policies of Harris and Biden working.
	Are the policies, the radical policies of defund, dismantle, no bail laws?
	Does Harris ever get held accountable for the bail fund she tweeted out?
	Does Walls ever get any questions about the fact that he wouldn't lift a finger and call out the National Guard?
	Even the liberal mayor of Minneapolis begging for the National Guard did nothing.
	What about the people that died in that rioting?
	What about the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage?
	So much for peaceful protests.
	Did they get held accountable for open borders and sanctuary cities and states that they both support?
	And giving drivers' licenses, free health care, free education, free college to illegal immigrants, free housing?
	Do they get held responsible for law and order?
	What about the economy?
	Do you think you're better off economically under Harris and Biden?
	Or is the economy in a tank and that Americans are struggling just to make ends meet?
	Do you think you're better?
	Were you better off with Donald Trump?
	Are you better off than you were four years ago?
	Every American has been impacted.
	We're now five out of six days.
	Last time I looked at Dow down another 500, it's down like 3,000 points.
	If you add up what happened in the last five days, five out of six days.
	The day it went up, it went up a measly 200 points for crying out loud.
	Do you think the country's headed in the right direction on energy and having new green dealism shoved down your throat at $93 trillion in expense?
	And do you want this cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, Marxist, socialist, statist utopia that they are promising that has never worked before?
	Every American has been impacted by their economic policies, by Harris's border policies, by their law and order policies.
	Is every town and city in this country safe and secure?
	It is not.
	What about the global chaos in the middle of awaiting the Iranian response to Israel and an attack by Iran again?
	Kamala Harris is entertaining the insanity to consider an arms embargo against Israel at their most vulnerable moment where they might be facing a four-front war on top of the three fronts that they're facing now.
	You know, you want to compare that to President Trump's record?
	Because if you do, it's going to be different.
	Would you like to rebuild the economy?
	Would you like to secure the border?
	Would you like to, you know, refund the police and have law and order and safety and security?
	You want a foreign policy of peace through strength?
	You want to get back to cultural normalcy on issues like, oh, okay, we're not going to put, you know, women's menstrual, I don't know what the right word is, you know.
	Things in boys' bathrooms and school, abortion up to the moment of birth.
	When do you say this is radical extreme and come to the conclusion this is dangerous?
	The media is not going to report this.
	That's why we put the Kamala and Tim Walz files on Hennedy.com.

	Actually, one of the things to come out of the press conference today, which I actually was glad about, and I know there's always intramural battles when there are primaries.
	I mean, I honestly hate primary season because often there are Republicans, a lot of people that I like.
	And, you know, at the end of the day, there's only going to be one person that wins.
	And, you know, politics is a blood sport.
	They call it a blood sport for a reason.
	I did like the fact that President Trump today in his press conference, when asked about Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, yeah, I'd like to repair a relationship.
	They had a good relationship, and he said, yeah, I had endorsed them, et cetera.
	And I think that would be good for the president.
	I think that would be good for the people of Georgia.
	I think that would be, you know, the last thing the people of Georgia need is Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
	And I know that's something that anybody with half a brain would recognize.
	And that is a cause worth uniting over in spite of the fact that you have intramural battles and differences at times, which is kind of part of the political ebb and flow of things.
	I mean, you know, we saw that with DeSantis and Haley and anyone else.
	I mean, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, that's primaries.
	They're brutal.
	I hate them.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	800-941-Sean is our number.
	If you want to be a part of the program, 89 days until Election Day, 40 days until early voting begins.
	And this is the inflection point of our country.
	Now, President Trump did over an hour press conference today, took a lot of questions from the media at Mar-a-Lago.
	We're going to run a big portion of it in the final hour of the program today.
	I know many of you working didn't have a chance to listen.
	We'll have some of the coverage on Hannity tonight at 9 Eastern.
	And he just brought up a lot of points that needed to be brought up about immigration, law and order, about the radical views on transgender, was asked a lot of questions on abortion, but he answered them, yeah, I got it away from the states and states like Ohio kind of surprised people because they had fewer restrictions than you might think in a red state.
	And that's the beauty of states deciding.
	And then the Supreme Court, of course, you know, pretty much codified first trimester abortion with widespread availability of the abortion pill, which represents almost two-thirds of all abortions in the country.
	But the media obviously trying to trip them up on the issue of abortion.
	Meanwhile, you've got on the other side of the equation, you have Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, two people that have no restrictions on abortion at all, whatsoever, up to the moment of birth.
	Well, that would be called infanticide.
	That would be called radical.
	That would be called extreme.
	The extremists now on abortion are the Democratic, presidential, and vice presidential candidates.
	And yet they don't answer questions.
	They don't do interviews.
	They've never been confronted with their radical views at all.
	A reminder, MyPillow has listened, and they're now bringing you their most requested offer on their premium my pillows.

	If you ask me, you know, where does this campaign go?
	What is the answer?
	What is the antidote?
	I mean, you've got the most radical Democratic ticket, radical presidential ticket of a major party candidate in history.
	You know, now in the waiting possibility on pins and needles, Iran, what's his name?
	The Ayatollah Supreme Leader Nut Khamani is now suggesting that they're going to try and take out the IDF headquarters in Israel.
	And that is a clear and present danger.
	And in the meantime, you've seen an increase in activity of Hezbollah in the North firing missiles into Israel and Hamas in the South firing missiles into Israel.
	Then you have the Houdi rebels joining in whenever they seem to feel like it.
	And now Kamala is open to an arms embargo.
	Before her rally in Detroit, Harris spoke briefly with the co-founders of the uncommitted national movement, which mobilizes tens of thousands of voters in Michigan to withhold their votes from Biden in the primary earlier this year.
	Lost over 100,000 votes.
	People, you know, said, no, undecided.
	And that was a big wake-up call.
	Probably one of the reasons I would argue that Josh Shapiro was not chosen.
	And Van Jones recognizing that there is an anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas wing in the Democratic Party.
	He's admitting that there's a cancer in the Democratic Party and a radicalism and an extremism.
	And it might, you know, on paper, you know, it makes no sense to get your ideological soulmate as your running mate, which is exactly what Kamala Harris has done here, especially when you have other options.
	But I find it spectacularly revealing how crazy this choice is.
	Anyway, so Harris listened to the stories that the people of Michigan and they said, and the leaders asked to meet about an embargo request, and she indicated she's open to it.
	So again, caving to the hard, progressive, anti-Israel, in some cases, pro-Hamas left.
	This is why I say it's extreme.
	It is radical.
	It's also weak.
	It's also outrageous.
	And then I would add, it is outright dangerous, you know, as Israel now is looking at what is a real, clear, present danger to its existence.
	If this campaign, again, it goes back to themes for me.
	Are your borders more safe?
	Are your borders more secure?
	The answer is obvious.
	We see the disaster of sanctuary cities and states and drivers' licenses and decriminalizing illegal behavior and basically, in that sense, codifying and just changing the law and not abiding by our Constitution or our laws.
	You see the danger and the cost of unvetted people in this country.
	We have people that are coming from countries with territized people themselves with terror ties that they've released into our country.
	I keep saying it's a matter of when, not if.
	This country is going to be hit with a major terror attack, maybe 9-11-like or worse.
	They're plotting, planning, and scheming now.
	Our enemies, death to Israel, death to America.
	You see the disaster of no bail laws, defund, dismantle, or supporting bail funds like Kamala Harris did and saying that they're not going to stop.
	They won't stop.
	They shouldn't stop.
	We're not going to stop.
	And take note and you beware that people that are involved in rioting aren't going to stop.
	Or Tim Walz does nothing as his family opens their windows to smell burning rubber instead of calling in the National Guard.
	This is insanity.
	You know, putting tampons in little boys' bathrooms in school.
	Nicknames gone pretty viral on X. Linda, you still seeing it?
	Tampon Tim.
	Seems to be a child.
	It's actually changed to Tim Pon.
	To what?
	Tim Pond.
	Instead of Tampon, it's Tim Pon.
	Get it?
	A friend of mine listening to the show yesterday said, you and Linda talked an awful lot about this issue.
	I said, well, it's kind of bizarre.
	Well, it's not only bizarre, but I have kids that go into these locker rooms and these bathrooms in these high schools.
	And my daughter's part of student council, and she stocks all the girls' bathrooms because she's in high school with tampons.
	And she said to me, Mom, I got to put tampons in the boys' bathroom.
	I said, What?
	She said, Yeah, she says, I got to do it.
	I said, First of all, you're not doing that.
	So just stop.
	Oh, boy, here we go.
	It's not even a thing.
	I'll leave it there.
	Ethan, will you put your finger on the dump button just in case?
	I'm done talking about it.
	All I'm saying is it's a real-life issue that we are all facing.
	No, the problem is, you know, it's not funny, or gender reassignment, you know, treatments and surgery without parental consent.
	This is insane.
	We have a right to protect the elderly and the infants and the babies, and we don't do it because we're a terrible, immoral nation.
	We need to get back to basics.
	We stink at it.
	Well, this is what Jillian Michaels was saying, and she's way left of where we are politically, but she says it's effing insane to do this to you.
	Yay to Jillian.
	I agree.
	I totally agree.
	You know, and do you think the border is secure?
	Do you think this is an existential threat and a clear and present danger to the country?
	To me, it's the latter.
	You know, coddling criminals and no bail and defund dismantle is insane and allowing that to happen.
	President Trump will restore law and order and be tough on crime.
	And he'll control the border.
	He'll build a border wall.
	And then, you know, Tim Walz will, I guess, run a ladder company.
	If he builds a wall 25 feet high, he's going to be building 30 feet ladders, I guess, donating them to illegal immigrants that are unvetted.
	I mean, all of this, are you better off with the economy?
	They're promising 70 to 80 percent tax rates.
	They're promising taxes on unrealized capital gains.
	They're practicing that they're preaching the gospel of raise taxes on individuals, raising taxes on corporations that don't pay taxes on small businesses.
	Nobody's going to survive everything you buy at every store you go to.
	If you think it's more expensive now, it's only going to be more expensive later.
	The economy is a disaster.
	Our cities are unsafe.
	Our small towns are unsafe.
	We have crime run rampant and a real clear present danger of radicals that are plotting and planning and scheming in this country.
	There are other economic policies.
	Their energy policies, similarly insane.
	No fracking, no drilling.
	What is it going to take for people to wake up?
	And I know that Kamala is not, you know, she has no desire to modify her positions.
	And if she does, and we only know from her staff, supposedly, that she has changed her positions.
	We don't know from her that she has changed her positions.
	I mean, they claim that she's changed her positions, but we haven't heard from her because nobody's ever heard from her.
	No favor.
	I'm in question of banning fracking.
	July 26, once she becomes the presumptive nominee around that time.
	The campaign says, no, no, no, she doesn't support a fracking ban.
	Well, those are high-paying career jobs, as President Trump pointed out, in jeopardy, and that's the cost of energy, the lifeblood of the world's economy, and she wants to unilaterally disarm.
	And her VP candidate, Tim Walz, wants to join in with her.
	You know, we're saying, you know, about ICE, comparing him to the KKK.
	Now she wants to spend more money on ICE, and we're supposed to believe this, the failed borders are that never went to any serious border crisis area.
	Over 11 million unvetted illegals endorsing, you know, decriminalizing their behavior and universal health care, Medicare for all, eliminating private health care.
	She sponsored the Green New Deal.
	She sponsored the Medicare for All Act in the U.S. Senate.
	That would eliminate all private health insurance, all of it.
	They claim now, well, she no longer supports that.
	She was the person that put the bill in the Senate.
	She put the Green New Deal in the Senate.
	You know, well, she supported a mandatory buyback of weapons, of rifles, and now she's saying, oh, no, no, we don't agree with that anymore.
	Well, we don't know what she believes because she doesn't talk to anybody.
	And the media lets her get away with it.
	And everything that the Harris Biden administration has done, everything they have touched has made your life worse and more chaotic.
	These are all of this is unnecessary and preventable.
	And now, as Israel faces this real clear present danger, her answer is engaging in discussions about an arms embargo.
	How does Josh Shapiro feel about this?
	He's Jewish and he's practicing and observant.
	How does Joe Biden feel?
	Does Joe Biden even know what day of the week it is?
	We have no idea who's running the country.
	He's not strong enough to run, but he's strong enough to be president.
	That's what we are to believe.
	You know, the inflation that has wrecked our economy, destroying our American dream right before our eyes.
	President Trump went out there.
	Yeah, no taxes on tips, no taxes on Social Security today.
	Gas prices never reached $3 a gallon.
	When he left office, it was like $2.30 or 40 cents a gallon.
	You're paying 30-plus percent more per gallon, but in Kamala's words, that's the price of democracy.
	Pretty unbelievable.
	And this guy's relationship, never mind his stolen valor, which we went into in great detail yesterday.
	Never mind his relationship with China.
	Very bizarre, the dozens of trips he's taken there and his love of China, some of them paid for by the communist Chinese.
	We have now men participating in women's sports, feminine products being placed in boys' bathrooms in elementary school.
	Wow.
	You know, as DA, Kamala Harris granted probation to a violent criminal who then murdered two men.
	She shielded convicted crack dealers suspected of being illegal immigrants from federal immigration officials.
	That's what sanctuary states and cities do.
	As AG of California, she opposed carry permits for law-abiding citizens unless they could demonstrate an extraordinary need to carry a gun beyond concern for personal safety.
	Well, why else would you carry it?
	For kicks and giggles, I've carried one my entire adult life, licensed, legal.
	And it's a big responsibility that I take very seriously.
	Categorize the rape of an unconscious person, human trafficking involving sex acts with minors, assault with a deadly weapon as more nonviolent crimes, allowing inmates that commit these offenses to receive earlier parole.
	She encouraged donations to that bell fund.
	I mean, I could just go on and on and on.
	I mean, this is the Harris Biden failure.
	And they've made our life a living hell.
	And I don't know what else I can say if you don't see this.
	And if you live in these swing states, if you live in Georgia, if you live in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, if you live in Wisconsin, if you live in Michigan, if you live in Arizona, Nevada, if you live in New Hampshire, Virginia, Minnesota, maybe Minnesota just wants to get rid of this guy as governor, but then he'd be vice president.
	Not a good idea.
	And he's a liar on top of everything else.
	He's been caught in a lot of lies.
	Says, I used to carry this weapon in war.
	Well, he never went to a war zone.
	But we can do background checks.
	We can do CDC research.
	We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states.
	And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are active.
	That I carried in war.
	You never went to war.
	JD Vance did.
	800-941-Sean is our number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	Oh, man, we got so much ground to cover here.
	We're going to play.
	I mean, this back and forth with the media, didn't you find it fascinating, Linda?
	It was must-see TV.
	If it's President Trump, it's must-see TV.
	I agreed.
	It was real.
	And I don't really care about his introductory remarks.
	I like the exchanges with the media.
	At least he has.
	How much we can play?
	Well, that's a good point.
