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 Walls won't do.
And as we come on the air today, uh we have a lot of controversy now swirling about stolen valor and Tim Wall's decision to lie about his service and his fellow National Guardsman, not J.D. Vance, leveling this stolen valor allegations against Tim Walls.
On top of his radicalism.
Which is nothing but an admission that in fact it's true.
Uh and yet, no, 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 and Donald Trump's been doing it.
Let's pick it up from Bar 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.
Uh but you'll have to ask her about that.
But uh to me it doesn't matter.
But to her, from her standpoint, I think it's very disrespectful for 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.
Yes, yes, redress.
What an assassination.
Is there your fully recovered?
Is there a scar?
Do you have a very natural?
Pretty uh pretty much recovered, yard, yeah.
I'm a fast healer.
It's a hell of a shot.
But I'm a fast healer.
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much recovered.
Do you have hearing damage from it?
No, no.
It didn't hit that.
I got very lucky.
It it just it just hit the lobe, as they call it.
Is there a scar on your beer?
Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
Not much.
On top of that on immigration.
Immigration question.
You've been running on the idea of mass deportation to do the biggest in American history, is basically what you want.
When Senator Vance has been asked about that, he sort of suggested that really you only need to go after people who've been convicted of crime.
Well we're starting.
So okay, so how what are you really talking about here?
How would you pay for it?
And do you think you can pass them like that?
Congress?
The largest 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, one president.
Go ahead, one more.
Make it a good one, please.
Okay.
Um regarding social security taxes for seniors.
We've talked about a while.
Experts say that the policy could increase the deficit by 1.6 trillion.
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.
Very, they they spend their life and they're great citizens and they pay in.
We're not going to charge tax to our tocial 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 so 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 the show?
Mr. President, Mr. President.
If uh sanctuary cities or these towns are going 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's become a crime-ridden mess.
And we're going to stop it on November 5th.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Mr. President.
I was a little over an hour pressure.
I tell you this 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 a lot of this in the final hour of the program today.
And uh I just think it is worth doing.
Uh there are a lot of themes that came up in this press conference.
Uh, which frankly, if this if this election ever becomes about the issues that matter to Americans and you, all of you listening.
If they if the issue becomes about the 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 uh 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 borders are that's not what 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 eleven 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 and look at all all the people and we've scrolled their names of all the people that have been murdered you know like lake and riley and christopher uh christopher gadd if you Have you ever heard of these names?
Lisbeth Medina, Melissa and Reardon Powell, you know, Cynthia Golding.
You ever hear of her?
Chester Edwards.
Ever hear of this individual?
Deborah Brund Brando or Nazareth Tamer Clore.
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 Efaro 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 Nungari.
That's that twelve 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 gotta 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 didn't get a single vote, but 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 Walls and his position.
You know, for days on end, he 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 um that was 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 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 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.
You know, what about the people that died in that rioting?
What about the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage?
You know, so much for peaceful protests.
Did they get held accountable for open borders and sanctuary cities and states that they both support?
They get and giving drivers' licenses, free health care, free education, free college to illegal immigrants, free housing.
You know, 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 off?
You're 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.
I have it.
Last time I looked at Dow down another 500.
It's down like 3,000 points.
If you add up what happened, you know, in the last five days, uh, five out of six days.
And the only the day it went up, it went up a measly 200 points for crying out loud.
You know, 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 dollars an 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 how 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, you know, awaiting the Iranian response to Israel and an attack by Iran again?
Kamala Harris is entertaining the insanity to consider an arms of bar 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 gonna 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 normals normalcy on issues like, oh, okay, we're not gonna put you know women's menstrual I don't know what the right word is.
You know, things in in boys' bathrooms in 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 Walls files on Hannity.com.

Actually, one of the things to uh come out of the press conference today, which I actually was glad about.
Um, and I know there's always intramural battles when there are primaries.
I mean, I 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 and you know, politics is a blood sport.
They call it a blood sport for a reason.
Um, I did like the fact that that President Trump today in his press conference, when asked about Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia.
Uh, yeah, I'd like to repair the repair our relationship.
They had a good relationship, and he said, Yeah, I had endorsed them, etc.
And um, 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, I the last thing the people of Georgia need is Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
And I know that's something that anybody with 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, uh, you know, we saw that with DeSantis and Haley and anyone else.
I mean, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio.
That's 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, eighty-nine days until election day, 40 days until early voting begins.
And uh 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 a final hour of the program today.
I know many of you are working, didn't have a chance to listen.
Uh, we'll have some of the coverage on Hannity tonight at nine 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 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 uh with widespread availability of the abortion pill, which represents almost two-thirds of all abortions in the country.
But the 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 Walls, 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.

If you ask me, you know, where does this campaign go?
What is the answer?
What is the what is the antidote?
Uh I mean, you've got the most radical Democratic ticket, radical presidential ticket of a major party candidate in history.
Um, you know, now in the waiting possibility on pins and needles.
Well, Iran, the what's his name?
The Ayatollah Supreme Leader nut Kamani 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 Lahooty rebels, you know, 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 a hundred thousand votes.
People, you know, said, nah, 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 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 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 you 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 terror ties, 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's 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 Walls 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, you know putting tampons and little boys' bathrooms in school.
Nickname's gone pretty viral on X. Linda, are you still seeing it?
Tampon Tim.
Seems to be pretty good.
To what?
Tim Pond.
Get it.
Friend of mine listening to the show yesterday said, you know, Linda talked an awful lot about this issue.
I said, Wow, 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 gotta put tampons in the boys' bathroom.
I said, What?
She said, Yeah, she says I gotta 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, no, no.
The problem is 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, is 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 I totally agree.
You know, and you know, do you think the border's 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 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 he'll control the border.
He'll build a border wall, and then you know, Tim Walls will 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 78 to 80% tax rates.
They're promising taxes on our unrealized capital gains.
They're practicing the they're they're preaching the gospel of raise taxes on individuals, raising taxes on corporations that don't pay taxes on small businesses.
Nobody's gonna survive everything you buy at every store you go to.
If you think it's more expensive now, it's only gonna be more expensive later.
The economy's a disaster.
Our cities are unsafe.
Our small towns aren't safe.
We have we have crime run rampant and a real clear present danger of radicals that have our plotting and planning and scheming in this country.
Their other economic policies, their energy policies, similarly insane, no fracking, no drilling.
What is it gonna 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 you know, we haven't heard from her because nobody's ever heard from her.
No favor.
I'm in question of of banning fracking.
July 26th, once she becomes the presumptive nominee around that time.
Uh oh, the campaign says uh no, no, no, she doesn't support a fracking ban.
Well, those are hike paying career jobs, as President Trump pointed out in jeopardy, and that's the cost of elect uh uh energy, the lifeblood of the world's economy, and she wants to unilaterally disarm, and her VP candidate, Tim Walls wants to join in with her.
You know, or saying, You know, about ICE comparing them 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 uh crisis area over eleven 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 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, uh, 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 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 unnecessarily an unnecessary and preventable.
And now as Israel faces this real clear present danger, her answer is a uh engaging in discussions about an arms embargo.
How does Josh Shapiro feel about this?
He's Jewish and he's he's practicing and observant.
That is 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 three dollars a gallon when he left office.
It was like two dollars and thirty or forty cents a gallon.
You're paying thirty plus percent more per gallon, but in Kamala's words, that's the price of 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 you know, dozens of trips he's taken there, and how his love of China, some of them paid for the by the communist Chinese.
You know, we have now men participating in women's sports, feminine products being placed in boys' bathrooms in an 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 A. G. 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 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 what.
What else I can say if you don't see this.
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 he, I used to carry this uh 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.
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.
Uh we're gonna play.
I mean, this back and forth with the media.
Didn't you find it fascinating, Linda?
I I it was must must-see TV.
If it's President Trump, it's must see TV.
I agreed.
It was real I and I don't really care about his introductory remarks.
I like the exchanges with the media.
At least he has much we can play.
Well, that's a good point.
