But what happened was uh a number of my democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the racists.
What do you say to these efforts to to attack his military record?
Well, first of all, it's a sign of the bankruptcy of their ideas.
They don't have anything to say, so they make up things.
We've talked so little about that.
We've talked a lot more about a sarcastic remark I made three years ago.
I think we should talk about the issues that most Americans hear about.

Sean Hennedy is on.
All right, thanks, Cut Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
Now, Kamala Harris is claiming that she in a new ad that she is going to fix the border.
Try not to vomit when I play this.
Listen.
Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crime.
As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border.
As vice president, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades.
And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.
Fixing the border is tough.
So is Kamala Harris.
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.
Now here's where we are, and this this is why I mean, if you're looking at Kamala Harris, you you're looking at a con artist.
This is an illusion of a campaign.
This is a con.
This is a lie.
And the American people clearly, based on what I read you earlier in the program today, they they don't know that this is happening.
A lot of Americans don't know yet.
And I'm convinced that if Americans become fully aware of how radicalized she is and how extreme she is, and how sh you know, this flipping, flopping, flailing that she's involved in, they're not going to vote for her.
And every single state, swing state, as they become more conscious, more aware as this now seeps into the bloodstream of the American people's consciousness.
I j I just see that Americans are gonna reject this radicalism if it happens.
Now, part of this responsibility is on the Trump campaign, and those that are supporting the Trump campaign.
I guess every campaign is PAX and super packs, whatever you want to call these things, and they're out there and and they're gonna do their job.
But I would say, considering that just how in the tank the media as an institution is state-run media pravda Mob that they are, that they're never going to ask these questions.
They're never gonna demand answers.
They're never gonna confront her or Tim Walls about their past radicalism.
And that that that to the left of Bernie Sanders.
He wants to decriminalize, and this is a big issue, for example, if you live in Arizona, he wants to decriminalize those that don't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty.
How is that possible?
We know that Kamala Harris wants free health care, housing, education for illegal immigrants.
We know that Tim Walls signed a bill that illegal immigrants will also get free college.
Well, it would have been nice when I was going to college because I I had to drop out three times because I didn't have any money and I had to go back to work to pay for it.
But you know, I don't have such a luxury.
The idea that somebody else would have to pay for it for me is insane to me.
I wouldn't expect them to have to pay for that.
I was glad to do it on my own and run my life my own way.
I did it my way, as they say.
And but this is what this is how radical they are.
Now, they're trying to convince you that they're different people now.
That she is gonna he's now gonna secure the border, that she is she's not gonna compare ICE to the KKK any longer.
Uh that she's not gonna defund the police as she has previously held that position.
That all of a sudden her ban on fracking is magically disappearing.
No, I didn't mean what I said, or her ban on drilling, or the fact that she was the tie-breaking boat vote for taxing tips and empowering the IRS to go after service workers, or the idea that she introduced the bill that you know that would eliminate or create Medicare for all, universal health care, but eliminate private health insurance.
Or that she introduced the bill about the Green New Deal, the ninety-three trillion dollars that would be spent on that madness.
Uh no, I don't think I'm for I'm I don't think I'm for that anymore.
And and things change at a moment's notice.
And on inflation, I'm I'm gonna deal with inflation from day one.
I'm gonna fix the border on day one.
Anyway, big issues, especially in a state, a border state like Arizona.
I've been down on the border probably 15 times in my life.
I've been uh on the uh down on the Arizona border many times.
There was a local state representative down there at the time.
I took one step uh over the border.
It turns out I did not leave the United States in the end, but I went across what was just a wire, and they wanted me arrested.
That's how insane democratic politicians can be.
But, you know, as we look at President Trump and his race, and I think that things are gonna change as the more people become conscious and aware of how extreme and and how they're being lied to and extreme and radical and dangerous the policies of Harris and Walls are, you know, we've got to deal with the reality that right now people don't know.
That's why we put Kamala Harris in the Harris files and her and her own words on Hannity.com and Walls in his own words on Hannity.com.
So you're not gonna be conned by people that'll say and do anything for power.
But we also have to look out for the U.S. Senate, and right now there's a tight Senate race.
Latest poll has a 4646.
Robin uh I'm sorry, Ruben Gallego is running against Kari Lake, and we've been following this this race very very closely.
Kerry Lake is back with us.
How are you?
I'm doing good.
You got it almost right.
I mean, Robin would be a good nickname for Ruben because he's robbing us blind when it comes to his policies of making everything more affordable.
Arizona used to be an affordable state, and now it's actually we're we're pricing people out of not the American dream, but just American way of life, basics right now.
And and you talk about it all the time, Sean.
I mean, the inflation, the cost of living, it's it's breaking the backs of Americans.
It now takes a six-figure salary to afford a typical home in almost half of the United States.
And any little bit of uh, you know, income increase you might have seen in in the past few years has been gobbled up by these out-of-control prices that are really affecting us here.
I I mean, I almost think it's ground zero for everything, Arizona.
When it comes to inflation, it's affecting Arizona harder than most other states.
We're here on the border.
We've got a wide open border.
We have the Sentinel Crisis killing a young generation.
And we have people like Ruben and Kamala and and Tim Walls who want to defund the police and make our cities and streets less safe.
They you know Ruben was actually marching and defund the police rallies back when Minneapolis was on fire and Tim Walls was cheering those people on and Kamala was bailing them out of jail.
Ruben was actually on the streets protesting with them and actually said that that the people behind the police line, the police, are the enemy.
That's what Ruben believes.
So we've got some radicals running for office.
No no doubt about it, especially right here in Arizona, and we can't afford to let him anywhere near the United States Senate.
We need we need the Trump economy back and the Trump border back and and the Trump law and order back.
Where are people in Arizona?
Because I know that this is a honeymoon for Kamala Harris, but we really don't have a lot of time.
And the idea that she's, you know, now nearly four weeks into not speaking to the press, holding a press conference, doing an interview, or even a gaggle, uh, should be very disturbing.
But the media, you know, basically are they allowing her to hide in the basement, her equivalent of it, like they did Joe Biden in 2020.
So that then becomes very challenging for the American people to get and I'm talking about more broadly the American people.
Uh a lot of people are working every day.
Some people can't listen to talk radio, some people don't watch Fox News.
And if you're not watching Fox or listening to talk radio, the odds are very high that you don't know about her radicalism, her extremism, and you're you're buying the big lie that that she is now selling, because that's what it is.
Oh, I just I was just watching uh a little bit of TV the other day.
I saw four Kamala Harris commercials in one commercial break.
Four.
What they're trying to do, and and and I want your listeners to listen up here.
They're trying to make you forget what they've done to our country, leading us to economic disaster to the brink of economic disaster, creating an invasion on our border where fifteen million people have poured in and now we have to compete for jobs and housing and products with those folks that have come in illegally.
And and you know, starting wars all over the globe, or at least uh contributing to wars all over the globe.
They want us to forget all about that, and then think we're so stupid that we're just gonna fall for these ads where they paint her as somebody else.
You've seen those shows out there, extreme makeover.
They're doing an extreme makeover right now on Kamala Harris and this Tim Walls guy, and mostly on Ruben Gallego.
I mean, this is a guy who's voted for all of those disastrous policies 100% of the time.
He's even too radical for the squad.
He's voted with Biden and Kamala 100% of the time, and as I said, he's open borders, he wants to defund the police, you name it.
Not to mention some of the crazy stuff in his personal life.
But so they want us to fall for the mainstream media narrative, uh, and they're gonna build up this extreme makeover.
They have a phony false narrative, then they pull in some bogus polls and make everybody just feel like the bottom is falling out.
I am all over the state of Arizona, Sean.
I'm I talk to more Arizonians every day and every week than anybody else in America.
They are ready to bring back President Trump.
Even people who didn't vote for him in 2020 say, I miss him because I had more money in my pocket.
I could afford rent.
Now I have to take on another roommate.
I can't I can't do it anymore.
I've been all over Arizona just the last three days.
It was all over Northeastern Arizona.
It's an area where we have a lot more re uh Democrats and not a ho nation.
I saw more people with Trump signs.
I didn't see a single Kamala Harris sign.
I saw Trump signs, Trump flags.
Everywhere we went, we drew a great crowd.
This tells me that the people are motivated to try to vote their way out of this.
And we know that the election systems aren't perfect.
They're far from it.
It's going to require every single one of us to get out.
And vote if you get the mail and ballot, get it turned in.
We have a ton of effort that's going to go into Arizona and these swing states to chase the ballots and make sure they're not just sitting on someone's kitchen counter.
So do us a favor, get that ballot turned in early.
That way we don't have to use the energy to come and knock at your door and call you, and we can use that energy on somebody else who hasn't turned their ballot in.
And then sign up to be poll watchers, poll workers, and poll observers.
Reach out to your local, um, you know, whether it be your county or your state, GOP office.
They will train you.
We need people working on election day to make sure that things are running smoothly and no shenanigans are happening.
Well, I think that's that's all good advice.
All right, quick break.
We'll come right back.
We'll continue more Cary Lake, Arizona Republican Senate candidate on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls.

All right, we continue.
Arizona Republican Senate candidate Carrie Lake is with us.
I just want this, I would like this these campaigns and this campaign to be about issues.
I'd like it to be about the bad economy that you talked about.
Uh Biden Harris inflation.
I'd like it to be about open borders and 11 million plus unvetted Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, illegal immigrants from over 180 countries, including allowing people with terror ties into our country.
And we have no idea where they are.
But coming from countries with terror ties, coming from our top geopolitical foes.
I'd like it to be about law and order and safety and security.
I'd like it to be about high energy prices or as Kamala calls it, the the price of living in democracy.
I'd like to I'd like this to be about America's role in the world and what it should be.
And I think we've got to get focused on that.
And and basically it's it's the biggest choice election then that America faces.
I believe an informed electorate is not going to vote for this.
No, I it's because they're it's not just talking points anymore.
And your audience knows this, and you obviously know this very well.
These aren't talking points.
This is reality for people.
People are suffering right now.
I a day doesn't go by when someone doesn't come up to me on the campaign trail, tears in their eyes, saying, I don't know how much longer I can survive.
I've got people who've moved here and retired in Arizona because it used to be affordable, and now they're saying I'm I'm spending at least one day a week.
I have to go to the food bank to get food.
And I've never taken a handout in my life, Carrie, but now I have to go to the food bank because I can't afford food.
And you know, it's it's people are suffering.
So they're they're feeling it.
I think the Democrats actually know this.
The Republicans, way more Republicans are registered in Arizona and many of these states, and they're gonna show up.
But we do have to talk about the issues, but I want to I want to be honest, there's other issues as a mother that concern me.
My daughter ran in track and did poll voting, and I think about had she been in high school, she probably with the with the way Kamala Harris and Ruben Geigel envision America.
They want boys competing in girls' sports.
My daughter would have never even made the track team if that were the case.
I've got good friends who got athletic scholarships.
They would have never gotten those scholarships.
Our girls are You mean you're against feminine products and boys' bathrooms like Walls did in Minnesota.
You're against uh gender-affirming care without parental notification.
You're against those things?
You know what?
I am, and I'm against calling it gender affirming care like the left has done.
We all know what it is.
It's mutilating our children.
Our children are perfect, then they go off and they get indoctrinated and told that they're in the wrong body.
It's it's absolutely psychological abuse, and they follow up with these um surgeries that are irreversible, and they want the parents to be kept in the dark on it.
It's it's that's a crazy time.
Uh, how do people find out your agenda and and uh you know where what's your website?
Carrie Lake.com.
You can go there, you can find out where I stand on the issues.
I'm America first, I'm endorsed by President Trump, all the the top America first folks.
And you know what?
We've got we've got all Republicans coming around.
We've got the traditional Republicans.
This is a time for Americans to come together.
This is this is not a Democrat-Republican issue.
This is a far-left radical agenda that will, as Ronald Reagan said to us into a thousand years of darkness if we don't come together and vote for common sense policies, and that's the America first ticket.
All right, Kerry Lake.
We'll continue to follow your race very closely.
As always, thank you for being with us.
800 941 Shauna's a number.
We'll get to your calls coming up also.
We'll check in with Congresswoman Victoria Sparts.
She's going to join us.
Uh anyway, uh, what else was I gonna say?
Oh, yeah, the call screeners down, Lord, if you can send the names.
Yeah, thank you.
Uh I appreciate it.
Uh anyway, so we're expecting any moment now, Donald Trump is gonna have a press conference at Bedminster.
What's interesting, he's actually got two events going on today.
Where's Kamala Harris's event?
And they have at Bedminster all of these groceries on these two tables.
I'm just trying to describe it uh to you.
And it's like, okay, so obviously the theme of this is gonna be uh how expensive groceries have become.
And, you know, I could tell you as somebody that does my own grocery shopping, it is very expensive and it's gotten more expensive over time.
I mean, very expensive.
I mean, when you have two-thirds of the American people that are struggling to make ends meet, well, guess what?
That's a lot.
That's a lot of people.
That's a lot of suffering.
When you have 25% of the American people, similarly, that have had uh had to forego meals, which they've had to do in the last year.
Guess what?
There's a lot of suffering.
A lot.
And it's just it's a burden on the American people.
You know, if you look at, you know, just economics or bidonomics and Harrisonomics, it's a disaster.
You know, I will tell you this.
Now, Kamala Harris has a new plan.
She's gonna call for a federal ban tomorrow.
We keep reading on price gouging.
He is I'm going after big corporations.
Okay.
Well, what does that mean?
How do we how do we deal with that?
Well, government imposed price controls, if that's what she's talking about.
Well, that's gonna end up Mike Lee actually had a post on X about it.
Scarcity and a vicious cycle of poverty and a cycle of dependency on government.
So naturally, Kamala Harris would would love that.
Well, here's the other thing that might happen.
If they're gonna empower and weaponize the Justice Department to go after small business, big business, and and go after manufacturers, well, what what do you think these manufacturers are gonna do?
They're gonna have to lawyer up.
And that means they're not gonna hire a local yokel attorney that costs, you know, a hundred dollars an hour.
They're gonna go to the big law firms if they're a big manufacturer.
Let's say they go after Kellogg's for crying out loud.
Oh, cereal's too expensive.
Well, it's it's as the they they price supply and demand crisscrossing dictates the price.
That's basic economics 101.
And if people want I love frosty flakes.
I don't eat frosty flakes, but if I was gonna eat a cereal, I'd eat frosty flakes.
I think it's the best cereal ever.
And I might even put a little bit of honey on it.
I don't need frosty flakes.
Why?
Because I I like to watch my diet and I don't like to eat a lot of carbs.
However, if I don't want to pay what they're asking for frosty flakes, I know it's frosted, Linda.
Stop rolling your eyes.
I can see it through through the microphone.
Frosty Flakes, too.
I you know.
I love frosty flakes, but I'm not gonna eat frosted flakes.
I love Tony the Tiger.
But I'm not gonna have Tony the Tiger.
By the way, President Trump now, with all these groceries surrounding him, is making his way to the microphone.
He's in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Let's listen in.
So uh we'll take our time.
We have plenty of time.
I think you have plenty of time.
I hope you like the weather.
It's very nice, nice place, nice location.
And I do thank you for being here.
And we don't have very much heat.
Uh we're uh the rain is not imminent based on the fact that there are no clouds.
So it's really nice.
It's really nice.
And uh let's go over some big facts and some very substantial truths about where we stand as a country because we're a failing nation because of the way it's been run for the last three and a half years.
We're a failing nation.
People are coming into our country by the millions and millions and millions.
We have no idea who they are or where they come from.
But we're also a failing economy.
Kamala Harris is a radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border, and broke the world, frankly.
Very destructive to the entire world because as we go, oftentimes the world goes.
She destroys everything she touches, and if she wins, your finances in your country will never recover.
You're never gonna recover.
A radical left person wants to put price controls all over the place, which will end up driving up your prices, not down your prices.
Harris has just declared that tackling inflation will be a day one priority for her.
It's gonna be day one.
But day one really for Kamala was three and a half years ago.
Where has she been?
And why hasn't she done it?
Why hasn't she done it?
I hear her complaining all the time.
She was the Bordazar, but she didn't do anything.
It's the worst Borders are in history.
There's never been a Bordozar so bad.
She's been unbelievable in terms of her badness to some of our allies, some of our great allies.
You know who I'm talking about?
Here is the record of economic calamity that Kamala is desperate for voters to ignore.
She cast a tie breaking votes that caused record inflation.
She cast the votes.
She's trying to blame Biden, as you know.
So it was Biden, but I'm gonna do a better job.
But it was her.
And if she wants to do a better job, she's still got five months left, right?
But she can't do a better job because she doesn't know how to.
And she's of a place in life where she wouldn't know what a better job is.
Going to destroy our country.
And as a result of Kamala's inflation price hikes, they've cost a typical household a total of $28,000.
These are numbers coming from government.
They're not coming from me.
$28,000 she's cost a typical household.
Kamala's inflation nightmare continues to cost the average American family one thousand one hundred dollars every single month.
One thousand one hundred dollars again, government numbers.
You're paying 148 dollars more a month on food.
It's every month.
Average family, because Kamala and her ideas, and Joe Biden too.
I I mentioned him, but he sort of gone so it all started with the debate.
I should have been a little bit easier.
Somebody said your debate performance was horrible.
I said, Why?
Because you forced him out of government, but I believe she'll be just as bad.
I believe she's maybe in many ways gonna be worse because he wasn't really a radical left.
Uh, but she is.
She's real.
He wasn't real.
So I think she's going to be in many ways easier to beat than Joe Biden.
What they did to him was disgraceful, by the way.
And it really is a threat to democracy.
It was a coup by people that wanted him out, and they didn't do the way, not the way they're supposed to do it.
129 dollars more on energy and 241 dollars more.
This is all per month on rent, so you have that 148, 129, 241, and then many other increases.
You add it all up.
It's thousands and thousands of dollars that she and he have cost people.
The cost of a typical monthly mortgage has doubled since I left office, and that number was about three months old from government, and now it's tripled.
We had mortgage rates at around two percent, close to two percent, and they're now at ten percent, and you can't get a mortgage, so that means it's a lot higher than ten percent.
I guess it is whatever, whatever they want to give over the money, and that's a lot more than ten percent.
So when you think about double, they've actually quadrupled or more than that.
Think of that, quadrupled, which really kills the American dream for young people.
Young people are being devastated by what they've done to our country.
Grocery prices have skyrocketed, cereals are up twenty-six percent, bread is up twenty-four percent, butter is up thirty-seven percent, baby formula is up thirty percent, flour is up thirty-eight percent, and eggs are up forty-six percent, and many items are up at much higher rates than that.
Now Kamala is reportedly proposing communist price control.
She wants price controls.
And if they worked, I'd go along with it too, but they don't work.
They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect.
But it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation.
Their inflation reduction act, by the way, was a disaster.
It's what caused the inflation.
Their inflation reduction act was a con job.
They actually admitted that it wasn't really for inflation that they did it.
They don't know why they did it, but uh they named it the Inflation Reduction Act, which was a very nice name, got approved based on that.
Unfortunately, people didn't understand it.
I understood it.
I said that's gonna cause tremendous inflation, and it did, among other things like energy.
She's running on the Maduro plan.
We call it the Maduro Plan, like something straight out of Venezuela or the Soviet Union.
This announcement is an admission that her economic policies have totally failed and caused really a catastrophe for our country, and beyond that, a catastrophe in the world.
Uh a little bit unrelated, but not totally unrelated.
We have wars breaking out in the Middle East, we have the horrible war going on with Ukraine and Russia.
All these things would have never happened if I was president.
Would have never ever happened, and they didn't happen.
Since Harris took office, car insurance is up fifty-five percent, and they just announced it's gonna be substantially higher than that within the next week.
They expect big increases in car insurance.
It's out of control, and insurance generally.
Thanks to Kamala's war in American energy, electricity prices are up thirty-two percent, gasoline prices are up fifty percent and going higher.
Meanwhile, real incomes are down by over two thousand dollars a year, so they're the incomes for people are down two thousand on average a year, government numbers.
The typical American has seen a four percent pay cut under Kamala and Biden, crooked Joe, crooked Joe Biden.
Credit card debt has exploded by fifty percent under Harris to a record high.
It's now at a record high, it'd never been anywhere close.
Since March, and by the way, people are gonna have to start paying that, and it's not gonna be a pretty site for the next period of time.
It could be a substantial time.
Since March of 2022, the average middle class household has lost thirty-three thousand dollars in wealth.
How about that?
Thirty-three thousand dollars.
That's average.
In July alone, 350,000 people were added to the unemployment rolls.
All right, President Trump holding a press conference at Bedminster in New Jersey for stations along the Sean Henry Show Network.
We are going to continue our coverage of the press conference.
If you are taking breaks just to give you a heads up and a warning, we're going to take this to the top of the hour as we continue.
That's in July.
Virtually 100% of the net job creation in the last year has gone to migrants.
You know that?
Most of the job creation has gone to migrants.
In fact, I've heard that substantially more than uh beyond the actually beyond the number of a hundred percent.
It's a much higher number than that.
But the uh government hasn't caught up with that yet.
But virtually right now, as of the time they did this, virtually one hundred percent of the net job creation in the last year has gone to migrants.
Paris gave work permits and social security numbers to more than three million illegal immigrants to steal jobs from Americans.
So think of that.
And you know they're having a lot of problems with Social Security.
I'm gonna be the one to save Social Security, but they're having a lot of problems with Social Security because under their system of putting all of these people into it, it's going to blow up and fail.
If she's elected, Social Security will fail.
It'll be a blow up like you've never seen before.
It'll be in a bankruptcy of the entire system, probably the nation itself.
You don't have to imagine what a Kamala Harris presidency would be because you're living through that nightmare right now, and it is a nightmare.
It's a nightmare.
And you're gonna stop inflation, but we're gonna have a crash, and we're gonna have a crash like a 1929 crash if she gets in.
Uh you saw a gentleman yesterday who got up, one of the top analysts in the world, frankly, and uh said that if Trump isn't elected, he predicts and he's predicting you have a stock market crash like 1929.
He also said the only time and the only reason the stock market has gone up, even though it had some bad moments recently.
But I think we'll take I think we'll take a substantial lead.
You saw the polls coming out today, we're leading in most of the polls, but you'll have a lot of friends over there, so I don't think they're reporters, however, are they?
This was supposed to be for reporters.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
When I left office, I handed Kamala and Crooked Joe Biden a surging economy with no inflation.
The 30-year mortgage rate was around two percent.
Gasoline had reached one dollar and eighty-seven cents a gallon.
We actually had many months where it was lower than that.
But we hit one eighty-seven, which was a perfect place, an absolutely beautiful number.
Real income surge by more than four thousand two hundred dollars a year when I was president.
Harris and Biden blew it all up.
If Kamala wins the election, the worst is yet to come.
You'll have a real problem in the future because people don't respect her in the world.
People don't respect her in the economy.
Economists are laughing.
They can't even believe this is happening to our country, and she wants to change a free enterprise uh type country into a communist type country.
That's what she knows.
She's considered far more radical than Bernie Sanders.
That's all you have to know.
Far more radical.
And she picked somebody that's far more radical than Bernie Sanders.
He approved a bill recently, tampons in boys' bathrooms.
He wants tampons in boys' bathrooms.
It's terrible.
It's terrible.
But that's the person that she picked.
Surprising pick to me.
I was shocked.
He's also got one of the worst uh run states.
Uh many people are leaving the state, sixth most.
And uh from her state, she destroyed as the attorney general, she destroyed California along with Gavin Newcomb.
And she uh San Francisco, you know, is uh was a great city fifteen years ago.
Now it's considered almost unlivable, you can't live there.
And uh what they've done to that great state With the beautiful weather like this weather.
They have this weather all the time.
And they have the ocean, they have the sun, they have everything good.
But what they've done to it is uh is a shame.
And she's going to do the same thing to our country.
It was the policies.
They had a recent uh article, and I didn't know this.
But you're allowed to rob a store as long as it's not more than 950 dollars.
Has everyone ever heard of that?
You can rob a store, and you have good thieves going into stores with calculators calculating how much it is.
Because if it's less than 950 dollars, they can rob it and not get charged.
That was her that did that.
Harris is campaigning on the largest tax increase in American history, including ending the Trump tax cuts, one of the largest uh tax cuts ever in our country's history, and working with families, a gigantic capital gains tax hike they want, and a new wealth confiscation tax.
It's called wealth confiscation tax, which isn't gonna make all of her supporters.
You know, she's got some supporters that are wealthy people because they're stupid people, but they're wealthy people.
She said that a 70 to 80 percent tax rate is quote, a bold idea that should be discussed and studied.
70 to 80 percent.
She co-sponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times while massively raising your taxes.
She wants to take away your private health care.
There are many people in this country who spend a lot of money on private health care.
It's the best health care in the world, by the way.
But they want to do it.
They worked hard to make money and they want to do it.
Under her, you're not going to have private health care plans anymore.
And you can be a wealthy person or a middle income person, and you want to spend on a really good plan, better than a government plan could be, far better.
And you're not going to be allowed.
You're all going to be thrown into a communist system.
It's a communist system.
You're going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.
It's you wait for your doctor like 10 months, 12 months, 11 months.
You got to see some of these plans, how they work in other countries.
It's disgraceful.
So private health care is gone.
She wants it out.
Now she could change on that, and she might change on that.
She's changed on everything, but I said, Why are you changing?
I actually was asking somebody that knows her.
Why is she changing?
She had these uh policies and ideas for years and years and years, and very solid on them.
All you have to do is go back and look at your tapes, which many have been discarded because they don't want discarded by the fake news, because they don't want people to see what she said just a year ago and two years ago.
I've never seen anything like it.
Even my uh statement on uh waiters, waitresses, caddies, a lot of great people, people that drive cars, no tax on tips.
All of a sudden, out of the blue, she comes out that was months ago I said that, and she came out and she said, No tax on tips.
She could have at least said, you know, President Trump had some great ideas, but one of the ideas was no tax on tips.
I think it would have been nice, and people would have accepted that.
But she just came out like it was hers, and she never had in fact just the opposite.
Uh the IRS is all set up to really go after people that make tips, and they passed legislation and signed executive orders, making it really hard on waiters, waitresses, and that was very recently.
That was just before I made the proposal.
They were really going after people.
So they're lying when they say that, you know, this is what they want to do because their legislation, which everyone knows, and their executive.
