Best election coverage available on your radio dial 800-941 Sean on number, 84 days until election day, 35 days.
Early voting begins, Pennsylvania and then begins to roll out around the country, and this is where we now find ourselves.
You have nearly a month that is going to pass, probably more if if Kamala sticks to a word that, well, she's not going to have a formal interview or press conference or sit down or even gaggle until sometime later this month.
It's August 13th.
It's already been three weeks.
Now we're over three weeks.
And now, all right, so we're going to wait seven weeks until we hear from Kamala Harris ever during her time.
Her campaign has been flipping and flopping and flailing all over the place.
You know, we have a lot of questions.
You know, does she still support Medicare for all and eliminating all private health insurance?
Which she unequivocally supported, cutting the U.S. defense budget.
You know, her surrender in the war against radical Islamic terrorism.
And and we shouldn't even, we should have the courage not to say those words or the words of uh illegal alien.
You know, does she st you know?
Here's the woman that was the the tie-breaking vote on the inflation reduction act and then turns around and is now saying, oh no, no, I want to, I want to I don't want to tax tips.
I'm like, huh?
What happened to this person?
This this is a form of madness, and it's unfolding before our my our our eyes, and it's dangerous.
I mean, who is the real Kamala Harris?
Who is she?
What does she stand for?
And will America ever get to ask about, you know, well, I I definitely will ban fracking.
I'll ban drilling.
You know, ice needs to be abolished.
Defund dismantle no bail laws.
And you know, there's a lot going on and to unpack here.
And we have been at the forefront of playing Kamala in her own words.
And what's now beginning to settle in is that they have adopted the same strategy Joe Biden employed in 2020, and that is to I guess their version of hiding in in the basement throughout the the entire campaign.
And these election year conversions and flipping and flopping and flailing is is beyond the pale.
We've never seen anything like this.
Now, there's a reason for this.
There's never been anybody this radical, this extreme, whose policies are that dangerous regarding national security at our border, that dangerous about unilaterally disarming with no fracking and no drilling in with the lifeblood of the world's economy.
It would be unilaterally disarming economically.
Sponsoring the new Green Deal, $93 trillion guaranteed everything from cradle to grave, you know, insanity that she supports.
How does she defend any of these positions?
She does it.
She just has her campaign go out and says, no, she doesn't believe No, never mind.
No, I don't believe that anymore.
Does anyone believe that?
She doesn't have a of an ability or willingness to speak off script.
That should be disconcerting to everybody.
And time is moving quickly.
And this all got thrust upon us thanks to the the coup of Joe Biden and pushing him out the door, which we now know, in fact, Joe Biden is pretty much confirming himself in his own words over the weekend.
And, you know, picking the most radical Bernie Sanders governor in the country is beyond weird in his own way.
I mean, really, we're going to put feminine products in boys' bathrooms in school.
Nobody has a problem with that.
Gender affirming care without parental consent.
That's okay too.
Illegal immigrants get driver's licenses, and he believes in sanctuary states and cities, and he believes in, you know, like Kamala Harris, free education, free housing, free health care for illegal immigrants.
I mean, it is, you know, we we found a tape.
I'll play it later in the program.
If elected, she's going to release all criminal illegal immigrants from detention centers.
That's the real Kamala Harris.
Now, she was the Bordersar.
The mob, the media, state run media pravda called her the Borders R. Now they're going along with the lie that she wasn't the Borders R. She was the Borders R. She was in charge of the border, and Joe Biden said she was in charge of the border.
And she never denied it.
And then when she's asked about it, well, why don't you go down to the border?
Well, I haven't been there, but I haven't been to Europe either.
I mean, what a real genius.
And, you know, we're watching Americans suffer as a result of this insanity.
I've got more illegal immigrant news today that is not good.
It's it just is frightening and it's chilling and it's dangerous, and all of it is preventable, and this is the dangers here.
You have two Biden Harris, unvetted illegal immigrants arrested for the knife point rape of a Coney Island woman.
Coney Island, you don't know, it's in Brooklyn, New York.
It's a it's an amusement park.
It's known for a roller coaster known as the Cyclone.
It's kind of like an old school roller coaster, but I mean I went on it when I was a kid for crying out loud.
The New York City police said that a 24-year-old David Devon Bonilla from Nicaragua and Leo Vando Moreno, 37 from Mexico were taken into custody.
Two men shoved the woman to her ground to the ground.
One of the suspects holds a knife to the woman's throat, rapes her.
The woman's 34-year-old boyfriend who left her briefly to go buy coffee, tried to fend off the suspects once he spotted the assault taking place.
One of the suspects hit the boyfriend on the head with an unknown object as he ran towards his girlfriend, and they arrested these two and later took Moreno into custody.
Both men thought to be homeless, but if Kamala Harris and Tim Walls have their way, they're going to be, you know, no, she doesn't believe in bail.
He wants to end all bail.
One New York City migrant accused in the vicious Times Square beating of those NYPD officers.
Shockingly arrested again because of no bail laws in New York that let him out.
Remember, they flipped the bird on the way out the door?
Well, they're back in custody just to be released again, I'm sure.
You know, this White House has called Biden's immigration policy, the Biden Harris policy since 2021.
You know, Veterans Affairs resources are being diverted.
We now have discovered federal uh federal veterans' affairs resources are now being used to serve Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's unvetted illegal immigrants.
They're coming from 180 countries.
Many of our top geopolitical foes, many with countries that have ties to terrorists.
And of course, many of the people that are coming into the country as well, they have terror ties, and we've they've released them into the country.
So when I say it's a matter of when and not if, it's a matter of when and not if.
And it's gonna happen, and it's gonna probably happen sooner than later.
They've created the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen.
And this is now that this is now their future, but they want you to believe that they don't believe everything that they've been advocating for and everything they've done.
On day one, I'm going to I'm gonna tackle inflation.
What have you been doing from for the last four years?
You know, they are beholden to This radical base that is now the Democratic Party.
I mean, it was only four years ago the Democrats rejected Bernie Sanders' radicalism.
Now they're embracing it on a level that I'd never even thought possible in our lifetime.
And what's happening here is these extreme policies, you know, are they trying to hide them for a reason.
Now, if you're running a campaign, and then all of a sudden you're changing on every major issue that you've ever believed in, and you're running this campaign, there's a reason.
They know in their hearts that if everyone listening to this show right now got went to my website, Hannity.com, and you downloaded the Kamala files and the Tim Walls files, that's them in their own words, and you have a written form and you have the audio form,
and you gave it to all your friends and your family and your co-workers and strangers, and that if it got into the bloodstream of the American consciousness and culture, that there's no way that they can win.
This campaign knows that they can't win on who she is, so they're going to lie their way and try and get the presidency by lying.
And they'll have the help of a corrupt media mob.
Because I don't believe she's changed her position on the issue of taxing tips.
I don't believe she's changed her position on mandatory gun buybacks.
I don't believe all of a sudden she's in favor of fracking and drilling.
I don't believe that all of a sudden ICE that she compared to the KKK and wanted to defund, she now supports, or that she's changed any of these radical views.
Even this weekend, she said she wanted a path to citizenship for illegals.
Well, that would be not a path to citizenship, that would be amnesty.
So let's just lie and say whatever we need to say to try and keep power, get power, gain power, and that's exactly what she's doing.
And the the prominence, you know, here's the biggest problem on the promise, for example, to eliminate tax on tips.
Now, Donald Trump has a history of cutting taxes.
Those tax cuts expire in 2025.
If Donald Trump is not elected, you if you think you're struggling now economically, buckle up because it's going to get worse.
And we have a lot of bad information.
59% of Americans think we're in a recession because they feel it.
They feel it at every store they go to, every time they fill up their gas tank, every time they pay their high interest rate mortgage.
Forty percent of the country, a new poll, by the way, from CNN of all places, they're worried about paying their bills.
They said they can't pay their bills most or all of the time.
Okay, well, that's the highest number since the 2008 financial crisis when joblessness was running at nearly 10%.
And the reason is Biden Harris inflation that they said was transitory, that is not.
Add to that insurance rates, auto insurance rates just this half year alone, the first half of this year are up a whopping 15% on top of everything that every way they've gone up in the past.
I think Donald Trump Jr. nailed it.
He said that the fuse is lit on America's economic time bomb.
He's not wrong.
I'm now promising no tax on tips.
I'm going to secure the border, we're going to end inflation, drill baby drill.
Make America great again.
I'm sure that's going to be the next thing to come out of her mouth.
You know, but when Kamala Harris in 2022 is vice president delivered the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass the inflation reduction act.
You know, this was a massive green new energy spending boondoggle that actually made inflation much worse.
Still up 20 25, 30% since they took office.
Guess what?
It was paid for in part with taxes on tips for service workers.
And I warned about it at the time.
But if you work in the service industry, and if you've recently been audited by the IRS, you can thank Kamala Harris because as part of that deal, the IRS rolled out what they call the service industry tip compliance agreement program aiming to ensure that tips are reported accurately and taxed accordingly.
She was the tie-breaking vote on that policy.
She made that happen single handedly.
You know, if you got to remind people that the IRS under Biden and Harris introduced a new enforcement program last year to collect more taxes on tips.
I mean, you want to talk about the sudden change of heart.
If you're in the service industry and have yet to face an audit, buckle up because that's coming your way.
Why they got to pay for the $93 trillion Green New Deal that she sponsored in the U.S. Senate.
Well, uh, maybe she's going to come out any day now and say, Oh, I don't support that anymore.
Or the 70 to 80% tax rate that she thinks is so brilliant from AOC.
Or maybe she's not going to support Medicare for All and eliminating private health insurance.
Is there any one position that she has taken in her own words that she has the ability to really back off on?
And the answer is no.
But the answer to this issue of Kamala Harris is very simple.
They're acknowledging by their actions and their flip flopping flailing that they can't win if America knows who she is.
So if the media is not going to do their job, and they're not.
The only antidote we have, well, the Trump campaign has to do their part.
These PACs, whoever they are, they need to do their part, and they will.
And then you can all do your part, and I deputize all of you to go to my website and download this information and pass it along to friends, family, loved ones, neighbors, strangers.
Because this way you can bypass this very corrupt state-run media pravda mob.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
So you have the Trump campaign with some of the top cybersecurity safety experts In the nation putting that site together.
Oh, that gets hacked, we think, by a country like Iran.
Then we have this DDOS attack, I believe they call it against Elon Musk as he's about to interview Donald Trump.
Then you have the European Union threatening Elon Musk if he allows a free speech forum to stay up.
You know, obviously there are a lot of people out there that want to suppress information before an election.
Elon did offer Kamala equal time on X if she wants to do an interview.
Elon also put out between 7.47 PM and 1047.
The anyway, they had 73 million views, and he said combined views with of the conversation with Donald Trump and subsequent discussion by other accounts, now at a billion.
Pretty powerful.
I wonder why they want to shut him down.
Now, you know, this whole effort of the European Union to silence Elon Musk and X and uh under the guise of stopping disinformation.
Well, it happens to be a platform.
What part of freedom of speech is everybody on the left so afraid of?
I thought they were pro-freedom and pro-free speech.
They're not.
You know, they they are pro-authoritarian.
And you will see this over time.
These policies of new green dealism ever get implemented, it always ends the same way.
Whatever name manifestation, you know, radicalism, statism, socialism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it, takes form.
They make all these grand promises.
And you won't have to worry about a thing.
We're going to take care of everything.
I mean, the same people that, you know, have brought Social Security and Medicare to the brink of insolvency.
The same people that promised you keep your doctor, you keep your plan, and you save on average $2,500 a year per family.
Millions of millions of Americans lost their doctors, lost their plans, and on average they're paying about 250, 300% more.
Great job.
That's government promises.
Guaranteed government uh guaranteed government job and guaranteed government child care, government guaranteed government college, guaranteed government retirement, guaranteed government healthy food.
How's it work out?
Always ends up the same way.
Unfulfilled promises and more poverty, and as a result, then you have to calculate how much of your freedoms you gave up in the name of false security.
But that's that's the left.
And they've become more radicalized.
You see it now in Europe, and you see Europe becoming, you know, with under Harris and Walls, that that is their vision for America.
You have a Washington Post reporter, some idiot named Cleve Woodson Jr. getting slammed today for suggesting that Biden Harris actually censor Elon Musk's interview with Donald Trump last night.
And before and why did Kamala Harris think it's so funny.
If if Donald Trump's website is hacked and they attack, you know, somebody as sophisticated as Elon Musk and X, which I'm sure have the top, you know, cybersecurity people in the world working on that site, and they're still able to attack it the way they did to prevent people from hearing Elon Musk interviewed Donald Trump.
I don't think there's anything funny about it as she's out there with kicks and giggles last night with her campaign making fun of it.
That is a vulnerability that this country can no longer afford to have if they attack our Department of Defense or FBI or intelligence agencies.
Although that might be interesting to get that information.
Anyway, before the discussion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, a reporter from the Washington Post literally openly suggesting that the Biden White House censor so-called misinformation from the sense from the session.
Anyway, the Washington Post asks Karin John PL, what role does the White House or president have in sort of stopping this and stopping the spread of that sort of uh intervening in that.
You know, some of what that camp what about campaign misinformation.
Well, you want to talk about the biggest liars in this election?
Well, that would be people like Kamala Harris.
She is trying to Now create an illusion.
Now we've got to shatter the illusion and iconoclastically break it down.
Because what you have is nothing but lies about the person that implemented taxing tips for service workers now wants you to believe she doesn't want a tax tips.
The person that wanted the gun, mandatory gun buyback.
No, she doesn't believe that anymore.
Wanted to end fracking and drilling.
Oh, she doesn't believe that anymore.
Abolish ICE doesn't believe that anymore.
Decriminalize illegal immigration and offer free housing, health care education.
I'm sure that's going to come out any day now.
I noticed that there's an article today that the Harris campaign, Walls campaign, is seeking to avoid overstuffing the DNC with celebrities to avoid making it look like a Hollywood liberal elite, like it really is.
You know, Democratic Party of today is no longer the party of hardworking men and women.
They are the party of coastal liberal Hollywood leftist elites.
That's who they are.
And so they're going to try, no, no, we'd really like you to come, but you know, just stay away because we don't, you know, it kind of people uh will get the wrong impression.
Who's this actor Mark Ruffalo?
Highlighting Congresswoman O'Mar's vote against the federal infrastructure in her district or trying to boost her campaign ahead of the primary, posting on X. You'll see a hundred thousand new green jobs over the next decade.
I you know did people in the auto industry, are they really that stupid?
Do they not understand?
You get rid of the combustion engine, you force companies like Ford into a business they don't even want to be in, and you force them into the electric vehicle business.
Why don't you leave that to the people that want to be in the business that do it the best?
Elon Musk and whatever other electric car companies are out there, and let people have the freedom to choose what car they want.
But of course, they're against they they would unilaterally disarm when it comes to energy, the lifeblood of the world's economy, you know, to pursue this $93 trillion Green New Deal, you know, radical to each according to their need from each according to their ability mentality.
I mean, is she ever going to be asked any of these questions?
How do you not hold the press conference since emerging as the presumptive Democratic nominee?
How do you not hold the gaggle?
How do you not hold how do you not do a single interview?
I mean, and the media, what they're fine with that?
Now, there are whispers now getting out there.
I mean, there are people in the, for example, Washington Post saying questions we'd like to ask Kamala Harris, why has she changed so many positions in the last four years?
How do you make the case that you're gonna on day one fix inflation when you've been vice president for four years?
How do you say you're gonna fix the border when all you want is amnesty and decriminalization of illegal immigration and offering illegals free health care and education and housing?
How do you possibly get out from under the positions that you have so boldly taken?
I mean, the whole thing is predicated on nothing but lying.
the whole thing and these policies have implemented would be a disaster for the country she's got a running mate who is as radical as she is on every other big issue a running mate when it comes to immigration if you live in minnesota you get a driver's license no No questions asked.
Does that driver's license then permit you to vote?
Well, I would imagine it would make it easier.
I mean, is anybody they're gonna demand proof of citizenship when you get the license?
No.
So would they ask for proof of citizenship if you registered to vote?
I doubt it.
That would make it and help facilitate that.
Never mind the free college education that they offer in Minnesota and the sanctuary state status they want in Minnesota.
And, you know, this this whole thing is insanity.
Let's open the windows to our house so we can smell burning rubber instead of sending in the National Guard to save people's lives and businesses.
You know, let's let's eliminate fracking and drilling.
What?
You couldn't Find any.
I mean, she went for the most radical person ever.
A guy, by the way, who touted the endorsement from a Kremlin propagandist who called 9 11 a false flag.
I mean, don't they always accuse Alex Jones of that?
Well, why is Tim Walls touting the endorsement from a Kremlin propagandist?
This was in the Washington Free Beacon who called 9-11 a false flag.
Former Minnesota Governor Ventura also endorsed the Harris Walls ticket.
Yes he's mad at RFK Jr. for not picking him.
Tim Walls, whose military rank was reduced, but he's continued to use it for tw nearly two decades, who on numerous occasions claimed to be in a war zone when he was not.
You know, his National Guard chaplain calls his decision to dodge the Iraq war cowardly.
You have a gold star mom who was part of his battalion that was killed as part of that service.
You know, absolutely apoplectic.
His other guardsmen feeling the same way.
Nancy Pelosi out there formerly praising the Iraq war dodger himself, Tim Walls, for his service on the battlefield.
Problem is he never was on the battlefield.
I read on Fox News.com a shop owner revealing a heart-wrenching experience after these BLM riots destroyed his store on Governor Wall's watch because he was too busy taking in the fumes of burning tires and not calling in the National Guard.
It's did you ever think that we'd have an election this close with people this radical that have gone unvetted to the extent that they've been unvetted here?
Because that's what we're facing.
The whole campaign is predicated on illusions and lies.
All of it.
And they just decided clearly they can't win with their radical positions that are on the record and available.
So they're just going to act like they've had a, you know, an epiphany and a change of heart.
But this epiphany only takes place because they got thrust into this position as a result of the Democratic Party coup and the disenfranchisement of every Democratic primary voter.
it was pretty interesting this this Trump Musk interview last night one thing Donald Trump said that really stuck with me I'm more of a believer in God since the shooting and He says I'm a believer now, more of a believer.
And he says a lot of people have said that, I think, and he goes on to say he spoke about the moment that this guy opened fire at him at his rally in Butler PA from this rooftop that should have been secured with a direct line of sight on Trump.
Shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear.
The former president told Musk it was a bigger miracle that the bigger miracle was that he had been looking in the exact direction that a chart on illegal immigration was located, adding that a bullet hit him at an angle far less destructive.
It's a millimeter, and Donald Trump, you know, his state funeral would be over now.
You know, Trump went into great specificity in detail about how people don't have money for groceries.
Also, Donald Trump is now suing the Department of Justice, weaponized under Merrick Garland and FBI Director Ray for running a malicious prosecution against him.
This has to do with the raid of Mar-a-Lago.
It's Trump, by the way, released his core promises to America.
People say, Well, you don't talk enough about what Trump's going to do.
He's going to seal the border, stop the illegal immigration invasion.
He's going to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.
He's going to end inflation, make America affordable again.
Make America the dominant energy producer in the world by far.
He's going to stop outsourcing and turn the U.S. into a manufacturing powerhouse.
Large tax cuts for workers, no tax on tips.
He's going to defend our constitution, our bill of rights, our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.
He's going to prevent World War III, restore Peace in Europe and in the Middle East and build a great Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield over our entire country, all made in America.
He's going to end the weaponization of government against the American people.
He's going to stop the illegal immigrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders.
He's going to rebuild our cities, including Washington, D.C., make them safe, clean, and beautiful.
He's going to strengthen and modern modernize our military.
Kamala Harris wants to cut it 10%.
By the way, we don't even have hypersonic missile technology like Russia and China.
Not a good idea.
And without question, the strongest and have the strongest and most powerful military in the world, Trump says.
He's going to keep the U.S. dollar as the U.S. world currency.
He's going to fight and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age.
Kamala, other lies.
She keeps saying, Well, Donald Trump on abortion.
Donald Trump's been clear on abortion.
He supports the 2025 plan.
Trump said, I don't even know what it is.
How many times does he have to say it?
And they keep, you know, putting it up at every campaign event.
They just lie and they don't get called out on it.
Trump said he would cancel the electric vehicle mandate, cut costly and burdensome regulations.
He said he'd cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our kids.
Keep men out of women's sports, deport pro Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.
Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter ID, paper ballots, proof of citizenship.
Unite the country by bringing it to new record levels of success.
There's your choice.
