Hi, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
It is 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, here we are 84 days until Election Day.
35 days early voting begins.
First state Pennsylvania rolls out around the country, and you've got the most radicalized ticket to ever run for the office of the presidency and vice presidency with Kamala Harris and the makeover.
It is the biggest lying campaign I've ever seen in all the years I've been covering politics.
I've never seen anything like this.
Now there's a good reason for it.
We've been playing Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, in their own words.
And they are so radical, extreme.
Their policies are extraordinarily dangerous.
They're dangerous when it comes to national security at the border.
They're dangerous when it comes to law and order and safety and security in your town or your city.
It is dangerous when it comes to the economy and inflation and high taxes and New Green Deal numbers.
$93 trillion madness.
It is dangerous with no fracking and no drilling, but they want you to forget everything that they have said.
They they want you to believe that this is a new Kamala Harris, a new vision.
Although we don't know what she really thinks, because we don't ever hear from her.
She wants to sound like a conservative.
She wants to sound like Donald Trump.
And uh is is ripping him off left, right, and sideways.
Uh she wants to decriminalize illegal immigration in the country, offer free housing, health care, education.
Same with Tim Walls, her her political soulmate, and he's giving driver's licenses to illegals.
Uh now she's talking about a pathway to citizenship.
Let me tell you what that means.
That would be amnesty.
She has called for cutting and gutting our defense department.
Uh and on top of that, uh, now she's talking about eliminating the tax on tips.
Uh, the only problem is she was the tie-breaking vote that put the tax on tips uh on hardworking service workers in the first place with the inflation reduction act.
They said she was against drilling, and now they're saying no, no, no, she's for drilling.
And you can't believe a single thing that she's saying.
And then on the issue of law and order, the two of them, political soulmates, were nothing but a disaster.
You want to where's Liz Cheney when you need Liz?
And an investigation into the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 that resulted in dozens of dead Americans, billions in property damage, and of course, thousands of cops injured when they were pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, and molotov cocktails.
But Tim Walls at the time was referring to the rioters that they were in a state of trauma and rightfully angry at a system that does not serve them.
This is what he said.
What can you say to Minnesota?
Are we going to be safe?
Are we going to be okay?
Are businesses going to go down?
Your thoughts.
Well, it's my responsibility.
I would tell Minnesotans that that we are doing everything in our power to do that.
And I want to hold those two truths at the same time.
The folks you see out there at Brooklyn Center are in trauma, and they're rightfully angry at a system that does not serve them and puts black youth and people of color at risk.
That is all absolutely true.
We Also know from experience in May there will be those that will exploit that.
Okay.
Excuse me, let's make sure we got this right.
Uh, you know, everything in he was in power.
He had every bit of power to stop this.
He didn't lift a finger to stop the rioting.
His his family wanted his wife even said it.
She w opened the windows to their homes so they could smell burning tires and the smell of freedom.
Listen.
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.
Let me keep the windows open so I can smell burning tires as a city is burning to the ground and people are being killed and businesses and dreams are being destroyed.
That's brilliant.
On top of his friendship with the radical Imam, who actually had no problem with what happened on October the seventh.
listen.
I would like to first of all say thank you to Imam.
I am a teacher, so So when I see a master teacher, I know it.
And um over the time we've spent together, one of the things, uh, one of the things I've had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, here to comment on all of this is Leo 2.0 Torrell, uh Fox News contributor, civil rights attorney.
Trey Penny is back with us, president of the National Fallen Officers Foundation, uh, veteran uh officer for many years himself.
Uh and anyway, we got a a lot of issues on the table.
You know, Leo, what do you make of this radical transformation?
No press conferences, no gaggles, uh, no interviews, nothing.
We just hear from her campaign.
No, she's changed her mind on pretty much everything she ever believed in.
Uh I'll tell you right now, you gotta keep doing what you just did and do it on your program because the Democrats are lying to the American people.
They have no problem lying, looking straight in the face of a camera, CNN, MSNBC, they're lying.
We know Kamala Harris is a socialist radical.
We know her VP is a socialist radical.
I live in California.
We talked about this before.
She's lying.
She has protected cover from 90% of the media.
So you gotta keep doing what you're doing.
You gotta get the truth out there, and we gotta use every avenue on the social platform media.
America will never elect a socialist president.
Sean, you know that and I know that.
We want liberty and freedom.
And what she's trying to do with a lot of new uh Hollywood money is to lie to the American people.
So the key here is we have to expose the truth.
Nothing out of her mouth, nothing out of Jim Wall's mouth represents the truth.
We gotta keep getting the truth out, and you gotta keep doing it around the clock and to your listeners, you gotta get on social media 24-7.
We have to work harder today than we did yesterday.
We gotta work harder tomorrow than we did today.
Well, I I've been trying to deputize everybody in this audience.
We have on Hannity.com the Kamala Harris, Tim Wall's files, all of these the all their radicalism in their own words, and I hope people will do exactly what you said.
Get on social media, talk to their friends, talk to the neighbors, talk to their co-workers, talk to strangers, talk to your family.
Anyway, Trey, let's get your take on this.
How do you let a city burn?
And how do you how is it possible a family that's responsible for the safety and security of a city like Minneapolis wants to open the windows and smell burning tires and and take in the moment.
I mean, why don't we just, you know, after roadkill of a skunk, why don't we smell that?
Because I don't really like the smell of burning rubber, do you?
That's sick.
It's sick, Sean.
And I'm gonna tell you something.
I I think maybe uh her and Tim Walsh have have somehow been intoxicated by the fume from those burning tires.
I will tell you this that in the 19 months that that it took to burn that it took to burn down the the entire city of Minneapolis and burned down a police station, Tim Washington did absolutely nothing.
And every law enforcement officer in that state knows that this is not the pre not the vice president that you want anywhere close to the White House.
Everyone knows it.
Because of everything dealing with dealing with COVID and not uh locking people up with these draconian uh rules and guidelines that he had in place, everything from letting the rioters burn and destroy uh the the cities there in Minneapolis and and um um you know attacking law enforcement, attacking citizens, how many people died from from the attack?
How many people were arrested and got off?
Think about that.
What did he say about that?
He didn't do anything for those people, and it's unfortunate that they think that they can manipulate the minority community because they think that we're uninformed.
They think that we didn't experience it firsthand, that we don't know enough about their lackedical policies or their policies that that show that they don't care about anybody but themselves.
Anybody that'll talk about rolling down the window and smelling some fumes, uh as that being a sign of freedom is it that's that's ignorant.
It doesn't make sense.
And the American people know it.
How is it, Leo, that you go from being the the tie-breaking vote to, you know, to basically sick the IRS on hardworking men and women in the service industry to go after people's tips, and then all of a sudden you come out, oh no, no, no, I'm gonna follow Donald Trump.
I'm uh we're not gonna tax your tips now.
How is it how is it you can be for a mandatory gun buyback program and her campaign says we don't know because she doesn't do an interview or or answer any questions?
Oh, no, no, no, she's against that now.
She's all for a fracking ban, a drilling ban, but she's against that now.
He's all for eliminating ice and and defunding, dismantling and reimagining the police, but no, no, no, she doesn't believe any of that anymore.
I mean, the American people are gonna fall for this croc.
I mean, the worst part of this, Leo, is we've got an information crisis because the media mobs, state-run media, Pravda.
I mean, they're in the tank for her.
I mean, it's like uh it's like they're worshiping at the altar of Kamala and covering up every single lie she's telling.
And to add to that the lies of her running mate about his military record, how do you claim you were in a war zone?
You never were in a war zone.
How do you claim a rank that you never achieved?
You know, if and if anybody else ever did this, I mean, look what they tried to do to George W. Bush.
It didn't work because it wasn't true.
It cost Dan Rather his job.
I'll tell you, Sean, you you you the Democrats have recruited a arsenal of liars.
You get your Joy Reed, your your Rachel Maddow, your Joe Behar, your whoopee Goldberg, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzewski.
You get all those people and they get on television and they look straight into the camera and they lie.
I mean, what I found offensive, the first thing you mentioned is no tax on tips.
I was in Nevada in June when President Trump announced that.
And you I saw some coverage on CBS today.
Howdy Kamala Harris plagiarism of that and made no reference, no reference to Donald Trump coming out with that three, four months ago.
What I'm saying to you, Sean is what I said a few minutes ago.
If you don't do what you're doing, if if I don't do what I'm doing, and I'm telling you right now, I'm trying to come up with other ways to get the message out.
Because we have to negate the lie.
Because all those things you said are indefensible.
If she did an interview with you, just like you did that interview with Newsom and DeSantis, all you gotta do is roll tape on her and she freezes.
You know, Joe Biden may have dementia, but this woman is brain dead upstairs.
She has no independent thought unless she's given a script.
And if she goes off script, she becomes a word salad.
So I'm telling all the Sean Henry viewers and listeners.
You cannot even fall.
I'll give you four hours of sleep.
The other 20 20 hours, you got to get the message out.
You got to expose the lie.
I agree with that completely.
You know, it's got to be a little sensitive to you, Trey, because of all that you went through in 2016.
I mean, you were a veteran Dallas police sergeant.
You know, that sniper opened fire and law enforcement in Dallas, killing five officers, injuring several more, and the ambush sent sent a shockwave through the entire country, especially Texas, and altering the the conversation about law enforcement, prompting state lawmakers to act, and yet these people doubled down on supporting the people that are rioting.
I mean, she pushed out after they burned down the Minneapolis police precinct.
That's when she tweeted out that bail fund that ended up taking in over 40 million dollars.
And the head of the bail fund said they didn't even look at the charges people were being the what they were being charged with, and some of them were being charged with crimes like murder.
I mean, what the hell are they thinking?
Yeah.
Yeah, you know what?
I think that was the worst time in American history for for law enforcement.
That whole period with the whole Black Lives Matter movement.
And think about it.
Kamla Harris was actually on the side of the Rogers.
She actually promoted uh getting these getting individuals that have been arrested out of jail.
You gotta ask yourself, Sean, what person in their right mind would do that if they're trying to protect the American people?
Now, not only not only from a law enforcement perspective, I'm talking about it from a citizen perspective.
No one trusts Camilla Harris.
I went to an event the other day in the inner city, Sean.
And everyone had everyone that was there, I mean, look, people talk about politics all the time.
But I will tell you that the black community does not support Kamla Harris.
I don't know what in the world that the media is trying to spew, what they're trying to convince.
They they have not created a a good argument for people in the inner city because they saw their community just uh torn up and burned down during the whole Black Lives Matter wave.
They saw it.
And guess what?
But people for people that get so triggered by one riot, how did they ignore the five hundred and seventy-four others that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, and caused billions in property damage.
I mean, how do you how do you you know how do you how do you somehow compartmentalize in your in your brain that that one's bad and the rest are okay?
That's the liberal media.
The liberal media is promoting that.
That's not happening in the community.
The community is no better.
They've experienced it.
They've looked, they've looked at all these.
You look, you got buildings, you got builders right now that still hadn't been f had fully recovered from the riot.
You can go to a lot of these cities and still see what's going on, Sean.
So it's not like Kamala Harris can completely hide what she is and what she has become.
The American people know, and I'm gonna encourage anyone if you're over the age of 18, go out and vote.
Get it people if you're between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, Kamala says you're stupid.
Anyway, we'll put that as a side note.
Anyway, Trey Penny and Leo 2.0 Torrell, thank you both.
800-941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.

So Dallas, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Pennsylvania.
Oh, we're gonna need Pennsylvania desperately.
Early voting starts in just a mere 35 days.
Francine, how are you?
Glad you called.
Oh, hey, Sean, I am great.
How are you?
I'm good.
Glad you call.
Oh, hey, I uh listened to your show yesterday.
You had two posters on, and they were talking about how Trump is flipping in the polls and that he needs to counter her ads and her ads are all over social media, and I concur.
I am so frustrated.
I have a Roku.
I watch Roku Live and all I see are Harris ads, and I will tell you they were they are well done.
They are slick, and if I didn't know any better, I would vote for her.
So I am Well, here's the good news that came out today.
Oh, good.
I'm not sure I'm not sure what group it is, but there's a hundred million dollar ad by by this one group that is beginning in all seven swing states.
Now, you you're gonna see them, but there might not, there might be people in other states that are considered safe states, and and you're probably not gonna see a lot of Trump ads there.
So that's the beginning.
The campaign is pretty flush with cash.
My last, I guess I I I guess the last article I read about money on hand was over 400 million dollars.
I think there'll be more available to them.
And then you've got I I I don't know about these super packs, but there are a lot of them, and my understanding is there's a lot of money being spent.
And but I agree with both Matt and Robert, Matt Tower and Robert Cahaley, that they've got to start dropping their ads now.
They can't wait any longer.
Because of early voting.
Because of early voting, you're exactly right.
What's the feeling on the ground where you are where are you in Pennsylvania?
I'm in Erie County.
We are like the biggest swing county in the state.
Yeah, the Erie County, you're gonna see a lot of ads, and you're right, you gotta start seeing Trump ads.
Um ads, the ones that I have seen that people share with Sweet Baby James and et cetera, you know, they're very effective.
I mean, tremendously effective.
And what I would love to see President Trump do is stay on two issues, the economy and energy, especially for Pennsylvania.
And we can talk border safety, but we By the way, it was an article today that her call to ban fracking is not going over well in your state of Pennsylvania.
And she's not going to be able to walk that back and say, oh no, I change never mind.
I uh now that I'm running for president, never mind.
That's not gonna fly.
The people of Pennsylvania are not gonna buy that.
These are high-paying career jobs that keeps taxes low in Pennsylvania.
One of the best things Pennsylvania ever did economically in your state.
Yes.
And I am in an industry, I'm a hairdresser, I'm in an industry that relies on tips.
So when the president said no tax on tips, and I'm a senior citizen who's eligible for Social Security.
So when he said no tax on Social Security, those are huge.
Those are huge.
And I would also say that she tried to steal his effort for lowering the price on insulin.
She didn't do that.
Trump did that.
But sure.
Well, Trump's look look.
If you want secure borders, Trump's your guy.
Because he did it and he'll do it again.
You want open borders madness and the biggest national security and threat in our time, vote for them.
If if you want law and order, uh then vote for Trump because Donald Trump believes in law and order and he believes in the police and refunding them, not reimagining them and defunding them and no bail laws.
Kamala believes in all of that.
And if anyone wants to know what's going on in America, please have a town hall with hairdressers and barbers, please.
I think they're the coolest people ever.
I mean, you get you get more gossip from you know a barber than you ever get, or I don't go to a hairdressing place, but um, you know, I I love the gossip that goes on in a barber shop.
I'm not gonna lie.
Well, we'll tell you what's going on as far our clients will tell us what's going on in their lives.
And a lot of my clients are very, very concerned about what's coming, and they they're struggling with this economy.
They're absolutely struggling.
We just got we were talking about our insurance bills, uh homeowners, car insurance, how they have skyrocketed.
Um we're suffering here.
Let me give you the latest today about the economy.
Fifty-nine percent of Americans uh feel that America is in a recession because that's what they're living.
That's the reality that they're living.
Nearly 40% of Americans cannot pay their bills.
Auto insurance rates just went up fifteen percent in the first half of this year on top of the price increases the last two years.
Donald Trump Jr. had a good line.
He said the fuse is already lit on America's economic time bomb because of that.
But Kamala's out there.
I'm now proposing no tax on tips, uh, and I'm gonna end inflation on day one.
What have you been doing for four years?
And I'm gonna secure the border and drill baby drill.
What's next?
You know, it's she used the IRS to target tip workers like yourself.
I always carry I'm old school.
I don't know about you.
Do you like to carry cash?
I carry cash.
Probably shouldn't say that publicly, but I like to carry cash.
What?
Yes, I and you know, because I like to tiff a lot of people.
Because I worked in the service industry.
You know, if if if I go to uh if wherever I am, I mean, if somebody does something for me, you know, here's a 20, here's a this, it whatever I whatever it is.
You know, I I don't I don't do it that way in restaurants because I just can't.
But you know, I I uh do I think those people report those cash tips?
I have no idea.
That's up to them.
It's not on me.
That is correct.
That is their business.
And I used to take my daughter to get a Manny and Petty, which I hated, but I'd have to take her.
Well, she got a little embarrassed because I realized if I hired two people, it would go much faster.
And then once I tried to hire three people at once to make it go even faster, and she she pulled me aside when we got out and she said, Daddy, that is humiliating.
I'm like, why?
Because nobody does that, Dad.
Nobody.
And I'm like, Well, how about two people?
He goes, Dad, no.
You're supposed to enjoy the experience.
I said, That doesn't look too enjoyable to me to put your feet in a swimming pool.
But but the people that worked at the salon love me because you know, I gave them a big tip.
I'd say, can you please move this along?
Earlier.
You said that you hire.
So see, when we're spending our money, we are hiring, we are paying people.
We are stimulating the economy.
Uh but if it's gonna cost me more money because my insurance, my groceries, I cannot tell you how my clients complain about gas and groceries.
Oh gas, grocery, and what are they gonna do if they want to get their hair colored?
That's that's a luxury item.
They're not gonna be able to afford it.
That means your income's gonna go down.
Um I worked the same hours that I have uh for many years, and the last two years I had to take a twelve percent decrease in pay.
That's ridiculous.
I the best year I ever had in my entire career, Sean, was in 2019.
The best.
I love the years.
Everybody, it's it's on every issue.
Francine, God bless you.
If I was in Pennsylvania, I'd I'd go get my hair cut by you.
Even though I'm kind of simple.
I don't do anything, just a straight up haircut, no big deal.
Hey, come back to Erie again.
You were here years ago.
Uh we may be out on the road.
Stay tuned, okay.
I'm stuck in Chicago next week.
You want to come to Chicago to that Adam Schiff show that I have to go to?
Oh, no, thank you.
I don't want to go to Chicago.
But I'll watch it.
I've got like my I got like my whole martial arts dojo going with me for protection.
Um I don't think they're gonna like me there.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just assuming something that's not true.
I don't think so.
Uh thank you, Francine.
And Linda, by the way, a lot of help she is.
She goes, Uh I'm not gonna be seen with you.
I'm not going anywhere near you.
Did you not say that?
I did say that.
I said it proudly.
It's part of my charm is my directness and my uh my desire for survival.
So like I'll have like an army bring me into where we're doing radio at an undisclosed location, and uh it will, you know, uh we'll have sensei the and company there, And that's the only time you'll see me.
Yeah, I mean that's the only time I saw you at the RNT, too.
But you know, I I was also hanging out with all the regular people, you know, and you know, you're up on stage and all those things.
I hang out with the with the regular folks.
I mean up on stage.
I wasn't up on stage.
I was doing a TV show.
Yeah, on stage.
On a set.
Wherever you want to call it.
Well, I just want you to know if it was you, I wouldn't abandon you that way.
Well, if you really want me there, I'll be there.
But you just have to do what I say when I say to do it.
So if you know how I handle these situations may be a little different than you and Sensei.
That's all I'm saying.
Well, the the fact that the words you say may end up uh well it may end up posing a lot of people a lot of problems.
First of all, I want you to do is I want you to eat one hot dog.
You have to have one bite of one hot dog and at least try it.
First of all, you have to give me more credit than that.
I've been here a long time.
I don't get anybody in trouble.
However, my vernacular may vary a touch from the peacekeeping people that may want things to be a little more quiet.
Whereas I probably when I walked through there and people say if you had any Hannity goes to the city.
I mean, not for nothing.
When you saw the people down there screaming and saying they hated you, you were the one who went down in the middle of it in London.
Wasn't me.
That was you.
I did.
I don't regret it.
I don't regret it either.
That's what I'm just saying.
That wasn't friendly fire by any means.
No, it was insane, actually.
When the Bobbies came over and said, will you get out of here, please?
Could we escort you out of here now?
You've got to leave now.
It was a lot.
Well, I didn't know I'd be as recognizable in London as I was, and I said, Oh, they got an anti-Trump protest.
Let me go down there with a camera and we'll film it and I'll interview some of these nitwits.
And uh I got spotted immediately, and let's say a little crowd formed and got bigger and bigger.
There's a hundred thousand plus people there, man.
They fooled.
Well the crowd got the the crowd around us got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger very quickly.
Hey, life's so busy, many of you still traveling for the summer.
Uh what do you do for safety, security for you for your family when you're out on the road, especially if you can't travel with a firearm because of the laws of whatever state you're going to?
Well, one way is the non-lethal self-defense option that I love, and it's called burner, B Y R N A dot com slash Hannity.
And if you're in a situation where you your family are threatened, you will have an option.
The beautiful thing about the burner launcher is it fires kinetic rounds that will incapacitate even the biggest perpetrator for 30 to 40 minutes, giving you time to get the police and get out of get out of harm's way.
And it's just essential.
The beauty of burner also is it's legal in all fifty states.
You don't need a permit or a background check.
And it's part of my everyday self-defense and personal security strategy.

Kevin in North Carolina.
Hey, Kevin, we need you and your fellow North Carolinians in uh just uh eighty-five days, my friend.
Eighty-four, actually.
That's right, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call, man.
Um my thing that I've been looking at is uh just the effort to vetting uh Kamala and you know, we just I feel like we're putting too much towards that.
I mean, we vetted for 15, 16 years.
We've told everything about him, and those people would go out today and vote for him again.
You're talking about Obama?
Yeah.
It was there was very little to vet on Obama.
Obama didn't I mean that we vetted Wright and Ayers and Dorn and you know, Olinski, and but he didn't have a voting record.
He wasn't on record saying no fracking, no drilling, defund, dismantle, decriminalize the illegal immigrants, free health care, free education.
Yeah, you know.
They're gonna vote for Kamala.
Well, I feel like we need to do is get our people fired up.
Like, you know, that they're gonna vote for him.
Trying to shift.
Let me let me just take issue with you.
I tell the reason that they're running from their current positions is because they know they can't win if America knows what she said and who she is.
Right.
That's why they are I totally agree with you on that, but I don't think we have time.
I think we have time.
We have millions of people sitting on their butt not gonna vote.
And that that's on them, but they need to get up and they need to vote.
But if we can get some people to fire them up to get them on their feet, I'm talking about the regular Americans that are out working every day.
You know, that they're like, oh yeah, I'll vote for Trump, and then the day comes and they don't do it, and they sit at home.
And I know you've been talking about that, but uh, you know, if we could spend the next 40 days before before the election starts, firing them up, getting them off their butt so they will go vote.
You know, I'm not gonna miss that.
I'm going out.
I'm voting, but I know a bunch of people that are just like, eh, you know, maybe I will, maybe I won't.
I feel like we could get those people a lot quicker and easier than we could get the people that you're trying to turn from from common.
I'm just trying to educate people.
There's never been a presidential candidate, vice presidential candidate that has been this extreme, radical, and dangerous.
And most people don't know what this audience knows.
So I have to keep playing it.
I have to keep repeating it, and I have to keep reminding people so that by the time early voting starts in 35 days, people have it at the tip of their tongue.
Right.
And I I don't like to repeat myself to hear myself awesome as Trump.
That that's what I want to get past.
I mean, there's never Don't you think don't you think most people know where Donald Trump stands at this point?
I do.
Yeah, but I I I think they do, but I think they're too lazy to get up and go vote for him.
And uh so like the what they better get it, they better get off their ass and vote because if they don't, they're gonna get the government from health that they deserve.
What I'm talking about.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
We need to fire those people up and get them out of their out of their couch or out of work.
I mean, if we can get employers, that's that's one thing that I've thought of.
If employers would tell their employees, I got hey, you get a half a day off, just bring me the I voted sticker.
Like, send people out, get them going.
I hear you.
I hope I don't think it's a bad idea.
I've been telling people now forever.
Vote early, vote by mail, overcome your reluctance resistance, and and do your part.
If you don't do your part and assume that your vote is the tipping point for this election, then you're letting your country down at this point, and we'll get the government we don't deserve in a way we will deserve it.
And I don't think we can come back from this.
