	Thank you, Scott Shannon.
	And thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Here is our toll free telephone number.
	It's 800-941-SHAWN.
	If you want to be a part of the program, 85 days until Election Day, only 36 days until early voting begins.
	Rolls out in Pennsylvania, then around the country.
	We've got the best election coverage available on your radio dial.
	Here is it's almost like Kamala is now a conservative.
	He's now a Republican.
	He just didn't hear it.
	That's what the that this is what the mob and the media wants you to believe.
	They want you to believe all of it.
	And she is out there acting like she's an outsider.
	She is the vice president of the country.
	And she's, well, on day one, I'm going to tackle inflation.
	You mean the inflation you were lying about telling us was transitory?
	On day one, I'm going to secure the border.
	I'm going to be tougher on the border than Donald Trump ever was.
	And by the way, we're going to have a path to citizenship amnesty.
	And this is the lady that wanted to abolish ice.
	This is the person that referred to ice as the compared them to the KKK.
	This is the one that wants to decriminalize the illegal immigration, give them free health care, free education, free housing.
	And in Minneapolis, her partner wants all the above and also free driver's licenses, uh, which I guess would then make you eligible to vote and want sanctuary cities and states.
	They both want that.
	I'll get into more details in a second.
	But she's acting like she's not been had no responsibility for the disastrous economy.
	Inflation that you've been paying more for every item you buy in every store you go to.
	Nothing to do with their disastrous energy policies, which is costing you, you know, over a dollar more plus a gallon.
	She wants you to think that they had nothing to do with the border.
	She was the border czar, and they deny all of it.
	I mean, I don't know, call her whatever you want.
	Copycat Kamala.
	Kamala, you know, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, Chameleon, like the Boyd George song, whatever it is.
	Isn't that Boy George that sings that?
	You know, she they they they are running from who they are.
	Now, why is that?
	Why are they running from who they are?
	Think about that for just a second.
	Why are they flipping and flopping and flailing?
	Why was she in favor of banning fracking and drilling and now they don't support such a ban?
	Why are they changing their position?
	Maybe she wants the real is that a real position?
	You know, is all of a sudden is now she wants Medicare for all, eliminate all private health insurance, universal health care, and she's now against it.
	And Tim Walls was for it and is now all against it.
	And he's against fracking and drilling too, and now all of a sudden he's he's in favor of all these things.
	Kamala, you know, I support a mandatory gun buyback program.
	Now apparently she doesn't support it any longer.
	All of these changes only happen when the coup against Joe took place.
	And by the way, now Biden is admitting that he was pushed out of the presidential race, as I told you he was.
	And Nancy Pelosi threatened to go DEF COM.
	We can do it the easy way.
	And they were going to invoke the 25th amendment.
	Joe should have forced them to do that.
	Now they're trying to convince you that they're they're going to be tough on crime.
	And their policies defund, dismantle, no bail laws.
	The Walls family wanted to open the windows while he refused to call up the National Guard, which he referred to as a bunch of 19-year-old cooks.
	And he desired at the time that they wanted to smell the burning rubber.
	I don't know what smells worse, burning rubber or a skunk if you run over a skunk with your car, which I've done once in my life.
	Wasn't pleasant.
	And this the odor just stinks to high heaven.
	Basically smells like the streets of New York with all the weed that's being smoked everywhere.
	Kind of smells like a dead skunk.
	But they, you know, now all of a sudden they're tough on crime.
	Do you see what is happening here?
	I'm going to bring inflation down on day one.
	Well, what have you done for the last four years?
	Except make make the economy a disaster.
	What happened to the $93 trillion that you sponsored in the United States Senate to pass the Green New Deal?
	$93 trillion, government guaranteed everything.
	You no longer believe that either?
	Well, we wouldn't know because we have a complicent, compliant, corrupt media that is abusively biased, basically nothing but an extension of the Democratic press office of Harrison Walls.
	You know, I'm watching this weekend.
	And there's there's Kamala Harris talking about how tough she's going to be on the border.
	What have you done the last four years except lie to us about the border?
	Well, I haven't been to the border, but I but I haven't been to Europe either.
	What an answer that was.
	You know, and now all of a sudden, now let's go to the idea that She said this weekend, let me play it for you, that she was not going to tack tax tips on service workers.
	Listen.
	And it is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage, and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
	Oh, where have we heard that before?
	Oh, that's right, from Donald Trump again and again and again.
	Listen.
	I'm also doing no tax on tips.
	No tax on tips.
	So waiters, waitresses, caddies, uh, people that drive cars, people that get tips who have been harassed by this government.
	We're gonna have no tax on tips.
	That's a big thing.
	I also have no tax on tips.
	That's a big deal.
	Are you gonna make that an official line item in your economic plans?
	Yes.
	No tax on tips.
	No tax on tips.
	Very simple.
	At the center of our plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers that include something else that's turned out to be very popular, actually.
	It's called no tax on tips.
	No tax on tips.
	No tax on tips.
	So this is the first time I've said this.
	And for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're gonna be very happy.
	Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips.
	People making tips.
	No taxes on tips.
	So let me give you the history of this because oh, let's go back to August of 2022, shall we?
	Because it was a 50-50 vote in the Senate.
	I actually have some Kamala in our own words on this.
	And she cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the inflation reduction act.
	You may remember.
	We have that clip.
	Maybe not.
	Anyway, the inflation reduction act gave the IRS an additional $80 billion budget to the IRS.
	IRS because $87 billion.
	Well, no, they were going to hire 87,000 new employees.
	It included 45.64 billion, a 69% increase for their enforcement budget.
	That means to harass people.
	And you can do what I do and just hire accounting firms and law firms and accounting firms to look at what the accounting firms did and law firms to look at what the law firms did.
	Because God forbid if every I isn't dotted and T isn't crossed, I tell everybody, pay your taxes.
	They'll come after you.
	Well, the inflation reduction act, you know, it was a crackdown on service employees underreported tips.
	They had, you know, this new $80 billion slush fund, and it was misnamed the inflation reduction act, and they proposed to direct new scrutiny at underreported tips of waitresses and barbers and bartenders and people in the service industry.
	And the IRS is attempting to replace existing programs with far more reaching invasive program that would require employees to use print of sale systems to record all sales subject to tipping.
	You know, I carry a lot of cash around.
	I like to tip people in cash.
	I'm old school.
	Employees, employers in the program would be required to use these electronically recorded transactions to create detailed annual employee tipping reports for the IRS.
	Kamala Harris was the tie-breaking vote.
	If she really didn't want tax on tips, she wouldn't have supported that.
	So they're trying now to avoid their positions because they can't win if America knows who they are.
	And this this was after, you know, she and Biden literally, you know, were sicking the IRS on waitresses and waiters and bartenders and service industry workers.
	I remember, you know, I've spent 10 years of my life in the restaurant business.
	I know all about tips.
	I'm sure I reported every penny.
	But anyway, let me let me uh you know, one of the things that you've got to realize is there's one thing to have a uh you know, a change of heart on an issue.
	It really is.
	None of these positions became public, these changes until after she became the presumptive nominee.
	Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and commerce our own words.
	It's a long montage.
	But this is the real Kamala Harris.
	Do you ban plastic straws?
	I think we should.
	Yes.
	I think there's no question that we've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing.
	So would you ban offshore drilling?
	Yes.
	And I've again worked on that.
	I believe if someone crosses over the border, it's illegally, it is illegal, and you would you would decriminalize it.
	I would not make it a crime punishable by jail.
	Back to the United States Congress.
	Here's my point.
	If they fail to act as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a green new deal.
	Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office?
	Adding the United States to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice.
	There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
	Defund the police.
	The issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety.
	For too long, the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street.
	Well, that's wrong.
	But would you support changing the dietary guidelines?
	Yes, you know, the food pyramid.
	Yes, yes, reduce red meat specifically.
	Yes, I would.
	The bill also says, quote, every individual who is a resident of the United States is entitled to benefits for health care services under this act.
	Not every individual who's a citizen, but every individual who's a resident.
	So you support giving universal health care Medicare for all to people who are in this country illegally.
	Let me just be very clear about this.
	I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period.
	We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.
	It's got to be smart.
	We gotta do it the right way.
	So I am offering a Green New Deal that has been described as one of the most aggressive and progressive.
	So as president, one of the first acts of business for me would be to get rid of these private detention centers and private prisons.
	We will eliminate private prisons.
	Um I've been a leader on that in the United States Senate.
	Under my plan, there will also be a carbon fee.
	We have to monitor whether it's going to be passed on to consumers.
	So these are some of the ways, but we've got to increase the corporate tax, right?
	We also have to increase taxes for the top one percent.
	Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has his new darling of the party.
	She's promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car should be eliminated within the next 11 years.
	Everything from a 70 to 80 percent tax rate.
	Do you agree that she could possibly, in this ideology of the socialist left, could splinter your party?
	No.
	Senator Warren Elizabeth Warren had a town hall last night, and she said that she thinks we should do away with the electoral college.
	Is that do you agree with that?
	I think that it's I'm open to the discussion.
	Their plan is obvious to lie their way to the presidency and to hide from ever doing a press conference or ever doing interviews.
	Aided and abetted by a corrupt media.
	Here's a montage of Tim Wall's radical positions.
	Now I want to ask you directly.
	Governor Wallace, are you a progressive or are you a centrist?
	I'm a progressive.
	Oh, okay.
	I think moving for progress is uh what many are, and I don't think you're you're tied in that I think that moves you along a spectrum, but we have to move forward.
	Protecting and supporting access to gender affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state to the community.
	This is that catch 22.
	The more police are there, the more tension it is.
	The more tension it is, the more chance you have to get things.
	There's there's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
	Minnesota be a sanctuary state.
	If the definition of that is that the federal government um enforces immigration law and local law enforcement enforces local law, then yes.
	Should cities be allowed to be sanctuary cities.
	Yes, local control.
	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 at.
	We saw large peaceful protests, focusing on the systemic changes that get to the heart of why we're in this situation.
	A society that does not put equity and inclusion at the center of it is certainly going to uh eventually uh come to the places where we're at.
	I don't think the mayor knew what he was asking for.
	He wanted the National Guard, and what does that mean?
	I think to the mayor, yes, I think it's a perception.
	I'm certainly not questioning that.
	I think the mayor said I request the National Guard.
	Whew, I'm out.
	This is great.
	We're gonna have massively trained troops.
	No, you're gonna have 19-year-olds who are cooks in some cases, and what are we gonna do and how are we going to use them?
	Wow.
	That is it.
	Lie and hide, aided and abetted by the media.

	25 to the top of the hour.
	Copycat Kamala.
	Now, you know, in spite of her being the deciding vote, the tie-breaking vote in the U.S. Senate, Now all of a sudden is following Trump's lead, exempting taxes on tips.
	And meanwhile, she bragged about it.
	He was like, uh, yeah, uh that being 50-50, uh, I will pass the tie-breaking vote.
	And it just goes on from there.
	You see how corrupt the media is here.
	We've got, I mean, there's so many issues, and I know I talked to a lot of people over the weekend.
	And some people say, uh, why are we paying attention to Tim Walls?
	Tim Walls just flat out lied about his military service, and he did so repeatedly.
	I mean, Tim Walls claimed that he retired at a certain rank, and he did not retire at that rank.
	Tim Walls claim that he was in a war zone and he was, you know, and that this is the weapon that I carried in war.
	Here's what he said, but he did not go to war.
	Listen.
	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.
	He's never been in a war zone.
	That's called stolen valor.
	He lied.
	We found an unearthed another copy.
	This basically saying he was deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
	He was not.
	Listen.
	And both of you, with your keen understanding of how this works, especially from National Guard families, I can tell you this.
	Having been one of those that came back, we were in support of OEF, but being sitting in there with OEF, OIF veterans.
	When we came back, they showed us the horse whisper and told us to be nice when we went home.
	And that was the extent of it.
	That was in 2004.
	Well, apparently not.
	You know, and does it matter?
	Well, does it matter as much as their radical positions on the border?
	No.
	You heard Kamala Harris.
	We just played it.
	We'll play it later again in the show.
	I'll just play it to death.
	I'll beat this horse until everybody hears them in their own words.
	I mean, they can run, they can hide, they can try to lie their way to the presidency and be aided and abetted by a corrupt media.
	That's why I keep talking about deputizing every one of you in this audience.
	We're in 750 of the best radio stations in the country.
	And if every one of you can go to my website, Hannity.com.
	I'm not trying to sell you anything.
	It's free.
	And just download their record, their words, and and and pass it on to your friends, family, coworkers, and strangers you might meet, and a list of their radical positions.
	You can print that out and then inform people because the media is never gonna do it.
	They're an extension of all things radical left in this country.
	And now Kamala's trying to co-opt all of Donald Trump's positions.
	It's somewhat laughable.
	I mean, did she switch parties on us and we just didn't know?
	You know, all of a sudden now, uh, even though she was the tie-breaking boat to increase all this money on the IRS.
	Now you want to steal Donald Trump's No New Tips idea.
	She was she, you know, after she and Joe Biden literally were the ones that were specifically going after these very same people, and we're supposed to believe it.
	You know, it's uh, you know, one thing that I thought was pretty interesting.
	I think Byron York wrote this piece in the New York Post, this boom of Kamala, and I know it's got some people nervous, not me, especially looking at the polsters, Robert Caheli of Trafalgar Insider Advantage.
	You know, it's it's closer than what I would like, but I mean it's a honeymoon.
	And all right, this this is this is her high water mark, and she'll go into her convention at her high water mark.
	Can you believe next week we will be doing this show from Chicago?
	There's only one good thing about next week, Chicago Hot dogs.
	And short of that, there's nothing good about me being in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention.
	Although I guess being around Linda Blair and Sweet Baby James and Sensei and company, that that's always a good thing.
	Aren't you going to get a deep dish pizza from Chicago?
	I don't want deep dish pizza.
	I like thin crust pizza.
	I don't like the I don't like carbs.
	I actually like coll cauliflower crust pizza now.
	Uh what do you mean who am I?
	I'm the one that's going to be the hot dog.
	Oh my gosh.
	The way I eat a hot dog is not normal either.
	I'm not eating the whole bun.
	I'm going to scoop out a half of the bun.
	I do like that they have poppy seeds on it, and basically it's a thin piece of paper.
	Then I will carefully re put the hot dog and the relish and the and the mustard and the pickle and pepper on the one little piece and somehow like hold use two hands and eat the hot dog that way.
	I'm having a requirement.
	Anyone on my show must have a minimum of three hot dogs a day, or they can't work on the show.
	I think that's fair.
	She'll never make that trip if if he hears this.
	I think you're probably right.
	That's pretty funny.
	But they're trying to now lie their way.
	But this could all end in a bust because at some point she's gonna have to talk.
	Donald Trump now has agreed to do three debates.
	Three.
	One on ABC, one on Fox News.
	I think one on CBS was the other one.
	I'm not sure he was talking what's that, JC One.
	I think you know, so it might be, yeah, maybe it's the vice presidential one.
	I don't know, but they've agreed to three debates.
	Well, okay.
	Then Kamala's gonna have to talk.
	And then if we if it comes down to the issues that matter, and her position about decriminalizing the border and allowing free health care and free education in Minneapolis and Minnesota, rather, free driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, that you're paying for all of it, housing, then I think that the American people are gonna they're gonna cringe.
	They're gonna not gonna want any part of it.
	When they hear their positions on law and order, the economy, energy, America's role in the world, America, if they're informed, there's no way their radical agenda and their words are ever gonna get them elected.
	The question is making sure that all of this gets into the gets into the cultural and informational bloodstream of of the American people so they have a full understanding of what they're up against.
	And that's the biggest challenge that the Trump campaign is facing.
	Now, our friends of MyPillow have listened to all of you.

	That's from MyPillow.com Sean Hannity Square.
	You know, we have learned a lot about what has gone on behind the scenes as it relates to Joe Biden that I suspected I told you about.
	Joe Biden certainly wasn't concerned about a you know uh seemingly concerned about it, but apparently it's bothering him because he had to admit this weekend he was pushed out.
	Look, um the polls we had showed that it was neck and neck race, would have been down on the wire.
	Well, what happened was uh a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races.
	And I was concerned if I stayed in the race.
	That would be the topic.
	You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Plosi say why did someone and uh I thought it'd be a real distraction.
	When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as a transition president.
	That's that's that's not what happened here.
	It was a mutiny.
	It was a coup by numerous Democrats, led it seemingly by the likes of Pelosi for sure.
	I'm sure the Obamas had a hand in this, and I have no doubt, probably the Clintons did too, but the power structure within the Democratic Party, and they anointed, they disenfranchised every Democratic primary voter, and they pushed him out.
	And so Biden now is admitting to this pressure that they didn't care about voters.
	You talk about democracy in peril.
	Now Nancy Pelosi's openly doubted even whether President Biden wrote the letter to Democrats last month, insisting he was firmly committed to staying in the race.
	Well, it doesn't, I didn't accept the letter as anything but a letter.
	I mean, there are some people that are unhappy with the letter.
	Let me say it differently.
	Some of the people unhappy, but you know, I'll put it in somebody else's mouth.
	It didn't sound like Joe Biden to me, and she hasn't spoken to Joe Biden since because Joe Biden knows damn well she was leading the coup against him.
	And on his age, I can't even say how old I am.
	Why not?
	What's the big deal?
	You know, it's Joe Biden all of a sudden now out there concerned about the peaceful transfer of power.
	Well, Donald Trump's not in power.
	What do you mean you're concerned?
	Because you weren't really concerned when Joe Biden is warning about this.
	You know, am I the only one that remembers how peaceful the transfer of power was when the 2016 election forced Barack Obama and Joe Biden to turn over the keys of the White House to Donald Trump in 2017?
	Because the Washington Post reported on it on that time, and how Democratic mobs descended on DC that day, ransacked block after block in the city.
	You know, and then celebrity Democrat Madonna, I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House and the protesters leaving a trail of damage along city blocks, disrupting security checkpoints of Donald Trump's inauguration, classing clashing with police, and then everything else that was said, groups of protesters tied to disrupt this is now the Democratic Party.
	She's to the left of Bernie Sanders.
	Bernie Sanders wasn't acceptable to the Democrats four years ago.
	Now it's become the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
	The new Green Deal that Kamala keeps saying she supports, well, I hate to tell you, is a disaster.
	If you look at the economy, one of the things battleground state voters are saying is they're signaling a possible shift as inflation continues to rage.
	And by the way, let me make a prediction.
	The Fed, Jerome Powell, will try to help Kamala Harris and Tim Walls by reducing the interest rates in their September meeting.
	They're being pressured by liberals everywhere to do it, and Jerome Powell probably will do it to create a false impression that inflation and the underpinnings of the economy are strong in spite of all of the news to the contrary.
	Biden's energy department's claim that they replenish the strategic petroleum reserve is misleading.
	They did not.
	They're wasting New York Post today.
	Two trillion dollars annually trying to force an energy transition.
	That's another thing that they're doing here.
	Is anyone ever going to hold them accountable on their immigration policies?
	Are they ever going to hold Tim Walls accountable for not lifting a finger as the entire city of Minneapolis was burning?
	I know his family wanted to smell, you know, the open their windows and smell burning tires, but is he ever going to be held accountable for the death, the damage, the destruction that took place because he wouldn't call up the National Guard, which he referred to as a bunch of 19-year-old cooks.
	He said that.
	He's the one in the guard service.
	Does anyone even care that he lied about his rank?
	He lied about fighting in a war that he never fought in.
	That's stolen valor.
	Now, when George W. Bush was up for reelection, they tried to make it a big deal that he served in the guard.
	Cost Dan rather his career.
	And now all of a sudden, nobody in the media wants to wants to even bring it up.
	One single Biden Harris illegal is now turned into a one man crime wave.
	If the Guinness Book of World Records ever gets around to naming the one Biden Harris unvetted illegal who single-handedly committed the most crimes on record, we may have found the front runner.
	This guy's name is Hernandez Martinez.
	Anyway, he's 30, the latest poster child for the team Biden Harris, you know, Democrats' refusal to enforce the laws at our border and aiding and abetting in the law breaking.
	When it comes to criminal border crossings, nabbed after a multi-state crime spree that began with an illegal gun arrest in Chicago, stopover in Denver, where he pistol whipped two women before stealing their jewelry before hitting the big apple.
	A suspected gang member, he committed at least 22 criminal offenses.
	I mean, they're trans their transgressions go on to everything.
	But they're too busy asking, you know, J.D. Vance again about one comment he made years ago.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Stolen valor.
	That would be a big deal if it was J.D. Vance, I can promise you that.
	It'd be a huge deal.
	You know, as we look at, you know, this transformation before us.
	You know, do you does anybody really believe that the person that was the tie breaking vote on the inflation reduction act, which funded the IRS to go after service workers now, all of a sudden is sincere about no tax on tips?
	I don't think so.
	You know, copycat Kamala can try as hard as she wants.
	The media will give her as much cover as she wants, but at some point, there's got to be somebody that's going to ask a question.
	How do you get to say, well, I'm going to deal with inflation on day one?
	What have you been doing the last four years?
	I'm going to secure the border a top priority and offer a path to citizenship, a legal path.
	That's called amnesty.
	Well, it's a little late.
	What have you been doing for the last four years?
	When will you answer any questions?
	When will you sit for an interview?
	Why do you need seven weeks to prepare for an interview?
	So she's trying to flip the script.
	Now she's even talking about small government and greater freedom.
	Really?
	$93 trillion?
	You want to talk about full complete control of government in your life?
	That's it.
	It is the most radical, extreme, dangerous ticket.
	Are they going to now that we're monitoring Israel, bracing for an attack by Iran?
	Are we are we now going to see if they do anything?
	They're trying to con people and lie their way to the presidency, and the media is aiding and abetting in the effort.
	The challenge now in 36 days before early voting starts is that people know who they are in their own words.
	I mean, how much how more radical can you get than these two?
	But he's a really nice teacher and a father that loved China.
	Went there a million times.
	We'll investigate that.
	Anyway, we're also going to check in the latest in Israel as they brace for the Iranian attacks that seem to be almost imminent.
