| All right, Hour 2, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-SHAWN. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, 77 days until Election Day. | |
| And yet 28 days till early voting in Pennsylvania. | |
| Ballots go out earlier in some states and then it rolls out around the country. | |
| So our one-month countdown has begun. | |
| And no, the country does not know to any extent that we need the radicalism that is Kamala Harris. | |
| 800-941 Sean, as we continue, we're at the DNC. | |
| We are in beautiful Chicago. | |
| Now there are a lot of nice people here, as I've been telling you. | |
| However, uh was he not exactly the warmest welcome ever as I made my way over to the actual convention site yesterday, but I'm not complaining. | |
| You know, I'll I'm here dealing with the crazies so that you don't have to. | |
| Um, you know, you watch, you come into Chicago, and I will say this, and as somebody that grew up in New York and left New York proudly and willingly, and I'm so grateful. | |
| Um, when you're in New York City, it is just it's dirty. | |
| It's like the Chicago is such a cleaner city on the surface. | |
| However, you know, with all the talk of hope and joy and all the tears, etc., um, why did all the businesses have to get cleaned up? | |
| Now, I do have a uh a guy that's driving us around, which you know, Fox provides, which I'm very happy about, uh, because I have no idea where I'm going. | |
| I could barely, you know, make it from the elevator to my room and know what direction to go. | |
| Uh, but putting that aside, um, when you listen to the driver and it's like, well, doesn't look like things are that bad down here, and he's like, oh no, no, they've cleaned it all up. | |
| He goes, this is what it usually looks like and describes it, even in like, you know, some of the the busiest business areas in Chicago. | |
| And then you run through a little period of uh a little part of town where all the businesses, one after another after another, they're all boarded up because of the crazies that were coming to town. | |
| They want nothing to do with it. | |
| Uh it's funny to watch a Democratic Party pass a platform that never referred to Kamala once. | |
| I don't think that would be such a difficult edit. | |
| You know, Joe for Kamalod, Kamala for Joe, you know, just switch it out. | |
| Uh, but as the program rolls on, uh, you know, of course, they dump Joe into the late night hours. | |
| He didn't hit the stage until what, 1130 Eastern time in battleground states, uh, which I think was just a complete disgraceful, I mean, exit, especially knowing what we know now that a coup took place and that Nancy Pelosi say, oh, we chanting, we love Joe, we love Joe. | |
| She didn't love Joe that much. | |
| She didn't seem to love Joe at all. | |
| As she said, either do that or we're gonna invoke the 25th Amendment. | |
| Uh, it was interesting to watch Biden go off script and throw a lifeline to the people that are in town. | |
| I've seen them with my own eyes holding their pro Hamas flags And and doing the protesters and marching and and getting loud and you know, then he gave his lifeline to uh support some of these radicals, and he, you know, said a lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides. | |
| And as I pointed out earlier, wasn't that both sides remark what got Donald Trump in in trouble, even though Donald Trump specifically said not the neo Nazis, not those crazy people. | |
| Uh, and uh so now he has this very fine people moment himself. | |
| And anyway, Biden is now heading on vacation. | |
| Uh I don't know why there was so much screaming last night, but there was a lot of screaming, including the return of Jacked Up Joe and Hillary Clinton was out there, and and AOC seemed to think that volume equals intelligence, because she got pretty loud in the hall. | |
| And but it really is AOC's party. | |
| I've said this for many I've said Nancy Pelosi was never speaker of the house, the person that controlled the agenda, that was AOC. | |
| That was the squad. | |
| Uh the DNC had to kick off, you know, uh their their campaign with a controversial activist who laughed off the F the White Women comment that he made. | |
| Uh apparently this this this woman, Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition of Black Civic Participation, has become a prominent figure in the and the Biden Harris uh White House and uh f apparently frequently used the term, used it on a Zoom call. | |
| We have to change strategy. | |
| We have to get people, get our people. | |
| They got their people, they got all the trailer parks all covered. | |
| All them people up in West Virginia in the Hills, they're covered. | |
| They got them all the way to Wall Street. | |
| Trump did that. | |
| And we're sitting here talking about the the white women. | |
| F the white women. | |
| Excuse me. | |
| Forget the white women. | |
| I think she meant what she said the first time. | |
| So anyway, joining us now is our uh good friend of the program, our friend Dr. Carol Swain, senior fellow with the Institute for Faith and Culture, author of the Adversity of Diversity. | |
| And uh anyway, let's unpack where we are. | |
| We're just 77 days till election day and early voting beginning in 28 days, and uh polls showing that the overwhelming amount of media coverage favors Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. | |
| Uh they've gone all in with their contribution, and more importantly, m most Americans have no idea how radical she is, as evidenced by John McLaughlin's poll. | |
| Well, I mean, I've said uh that it would take a miracle for Donald J. Trump to win because of all the forces that are raided against him. | |
| As far as I can see, uh AOC is like her ideas are running the whole country, and there are no institutions that seem to be willing to hold Democrats accountable. | |
| You know, I'm I'm I'm looking at where she stands on every big issue, and and I actually think that the moniker and the nickname uh uh uh uh c comrade Kamala fits perfectly when talking about her. | |
| I mean, look at her look at her position that she took. | |
| She took one policy position, and you know, what was it? | |
| She wants to go back to price controls. | |
| But the things that she has said about decriminalizing illegal immigration and and offering free housing and health care and education, and her running mate wants free college education and legal driver's licenses, and you have 11 million unvetted illegal immigrants. | |
| She doesn't want to use the term illegal alien. | |
| We should have the courage not to use that or radical Islamic terrorism. | |
| You know, then we look at the disaster of defund dismantled Nobel laws and the behavior of both Walls and Harris when it came to the rioting in the summer of 2020. | |
| Then you look at the economic policies, she's gonna raise every tax imaginable. | |
| She wants to raise the corporate tax, small business tax, the estate tax, uh, tax rates on individuals, and and pretty much have full confiscation of wealth. | |
| And then you got Tim Walls out there basically praising communism. | |
| And I'm like, whoa, you know, this this is a frightening scenario. | |
| I I'm I'm just not sure because of the the th the window of time that we have and a media that's so compliant. | |
| How do you get that message out? | |
| Well, first of all, I think that there's so many Americans that have no idea what communism is. | |
| And when it comes to Kamala, I mean, there's no creativity there. | |
| She just espouses the talking point of the Marxists. | |
| And I would argue that uh Obama did fundamentally change our country. | |
| We he turned us into a banana republic. | |
| And that's where none of the uh agencies of government can be trusted, DOJ, FBI, CDC, um, CIA, any of these agencies. | |
| And I think that um she's gonna finish us off because we we were teetering on the edge of a precipice with sliding down the side of a mountain, and I don't see any institution that can stop it barring a miracle because the press is not honest, | |
| and I think that the Marxists they have had many years to infiltrate every institution, and their efforts are bearing fruit, and they have Republicans too that do their bidding. | |
| That's unfortunate, but it's true. | |
| Well, I think you're you're right, and it seems like there are people, you know, I like I listen to Liberal Joe over at MSD and say he'd vote for Bernie Sanders, but yet he still tries to make the claim that he's a conservative at heart. | |
| Uh there's no conservative that could vote for radicalism, socialism, Marxism, statism, communism. | |
| You know, use whatever term you want because it always ends the same way, and that is unfulfilled promises, more poverty, and then a loss of freedom. | |
| Uh, you're the great historian, I am not. | |
| And and and that is the predictable outcome of where these policies are going. | |
| And I just hope that people understand that, you know, beyond the facade and what is really just an illusion of they're trying to remake Kamala into somebody that she is not. | |
| And I've never seen such an attempt at to make over a politician in my lifetime. | |
| I mean, it's like she was a new serial that they repackage and then they rolled out new products because what they have rolled out is not akin to who and what she actually is. | |
| Is this like new Coke versus old Coke? | |
| And that didn't work out very well. | |
| Yeah, I new new Kamala versus old Kamala. | |
| Right, and yes, uh, I also feel that uh the American people have common sense regardless of political party, if they knew exact exactly what the Democratic Party was up to, even the fact that they are installing and imposing a candidate that no one had an opportunity to vote for. | |
| And my book, The Adversity of Diversity, I mean, that is the adversity of diversity because we reached the point someone totally incompetent, foolish, silly, giggling woman is being imposed upon us, and I don't know who's been running the country for the past four years, | |
| and I don't know who's gonna be running her, but we can be sure that it will not be Kamala Hurst in control of running the country, and if the American people, if our votes counted accurately, and if people had truth, there's no way she wins the honest election. | |
| How do you do that when the you have fawning media coverage and and and then nothing but attacks against Donald Trump 24-7? | |
| How do you overcome that obstacle? | |
| Well, I I mean, I'm a person of faith, and I believe that uh those of us who have platforms, you know, we keep uh uh talking, and I I'm encouraged some because I know some people who have been staunch Democrats in the black uh community who are planning to uh vote for for Donald Trump. | |
| But I think that Donald Trump needs a miracle because he has all the forces arrayed against him, and I think that um, you know, he may get his miracle, but when you look in the natural, there's a lot of reasons to be discouraged because I've never ever seen a person hated as much as Donald J. Trump. | |
| And it's almost like they want to make an example of him so that no one else will get the bright idea, and also Elon Musk. | |
| They're making examples of these powerful men so that no one else will get uh the bright idea of trying to challenge the deep state, and I think that what we have learned is that the America that I thought I knew that I grew up in, that country no longer exists. | |
| Well, it'll definitely no longer exist if she's elected and she implements what she truly believes and what she's has stated she believes in her own words. | |

| So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country. | |
| You are right about something that very few people seem willing to talk about you have powerful institutions, and they would include the deep state. | |
| I mean, we saw 51 former Intel officials in the weeks before the 2020 election that would have turned that election around, you know, go out there and just flat out lie about a laptop they knew nothing about. | |
| Uh we watched and witnessed in 2016, you know, the FBI take a dirty Russian disinformation dossier bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and use it for four Pfizer warrants. | |
| And then, of course, uh, she had all this top secret classified information on her servers and and deleted 33,000 emails and and no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, unless, of course, her name were Donald Trump but not Hillary Clinton. | |
| Uh, then you have the media institution, which is as corrupt as they as they've ever been. | |
| And I think that plays a very big part in people's thinking because they're the ones that refuse to show her in her own words. | |
| Yeah, and I think that some of that has to do with subsidies that the media uh organizations have found a way to get. | |
| And I don't know, you know, again, what would take to turn it around, but it we've reached a point where there does not seem to be an institution that will hold Democrats accountable for what they do. | |
| And so it's almost like I don't know what they do. | |
| And for someone like me, who's been vocally critical of Kamala and Biden and you know, the very uh what they have been imposing on the American people, I have no reason not to believe that she would not come after us. | |
| Like the innocent people were thrown into jail because of January 6th. | |
| Uh, they can make up something. | |
| We we've seen them make up crimes, and so I think that they will do a purging and a cleansing of um people That dissent, they have literally uh taken over every institution. | |
| And when it comes to the media, when it comes to academia, I'm very disappointed in former colleagues for not speaking up. | |
| But people are afraid. | |
| They're not afraid of Republicans because we don't kill anyone. | |
| We don't try uh to to destroy people's lives, the mobbyhood, but the Democrats do. | |
| And so many of the Democrats in the media, I would say, in academia, that are going along with things, it's because of fear. | |
| They know that if they step out of line, there would be efforts to destroy them. | |
| If they're going after you, I'm dead. | |
| Um, but uh come off uh Harris, you know, I I don't put anything past these radicals. | |
| I really don't. | |
| Uh, Carol, we love having you. | |
| Uh Carol's book, by the way, in case you don't know, she's a senior fellow for the Institute of Faith and Culture, the adversity of diversity. | |
| We put a link on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and bookstores around the country. | |
| Uh, we appreciate you always coming on. | |
| Thank you, Carol. | |
| Talk to you soon. | |
| Thank you. | |
| We'll continue. | |
| We'll continue. | |
| Now, let's take a trip down memory lane as we are in Chicago. | |
| Now, if you want voter ID, because you believe in voter integrity, as I do, and I believe you should have proof of citizenship and signature verification, and I think you should have uh uh some type of controls as it relates to mailing ballots. | |
| They should always be under a camera from the minute they enter any building at all times. | |
| Uh that's called integrity, updated voter roles and partisan observers in every precinct in the country, watching the voting at all times, be it early voting or election day, and the vote counting on election night. | |
| That's that to me is simple, basic fundamental. | |
| But if you're a Democrat, well, they've been comparing voter ID to Jim Crow. | |
| Listen. | |
| Some of those voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states. | |
| Smack up Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again. | |
| It is the most pernicious thing. | |
| This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. | |
| I mean, this is gigantic what they're trying to do. | |
| A resurgence of Jim Crow style voter suppression measures sweeping across state legislatures. | |
| What we're seeing in Georgia right now and in other states around the country in those 361 restrictive laws that have been imposed is beyond a rainstorm. | |
| It is a tsunami threatening democracy. | |
| Parts of our country are backsliding into the days of Jim Crow. | |
| A massive and unabashed assault on voting rights, unlike anything we've ever seen since the Jim Crow era. | |
| This is Jim Crow Crow in new clothes. | |
| Now I'll tell you why it's ironic in a minute. | |
| And the media, they have been saying, for example, about Trump and the border wall. | |
| What is what has the left's been saying about border walls? | |
| It's racist, it's racist, etc., etc. | |
| No, it's an effective means of preventing people from entering your country unvetted. | |
| People that might have terror ties, people that might be members of cartels, uh, people that uh would be uh prone towards murder, rape, violence, etc. | |
| And uh that's just basic common sense that you you're gonna invite any stranger into your house, so would you do a little vetting? | |
| Know a little something about that person. | |
| Oh, come on in for dinner, you're a stranger. | |
| Come on in. | |
| Oh, bring your whole family with you. | |
| I don't think most people would do that. | |
| But they say that Trump's border wall is racist. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| Listen. | |
| This wall that the president wants is a monument to white nationalism. | |
| Anybody who agrees to give any money to this wall is foolish. | |
| It's all about keeping non-white people from crossing the board. | |
| The fears are all race-based. | |
| This is about a wall that is to keep people like me and my students and their families out. | |
| It is a wall that is racist. | |
| The wall is kind of a metaphor for Donald Trump's presidency. | |
| The foundation of the wall is hate. | |
| It's fear. | |
| Yep. | |
| This wall is not a wall. | |
| It is a let's keep America white again. | |
| And basically, he doesn't have the Economy anymore. | |
| This is all he has less is that one metaphor, that one thing that talks that 39, 40, 41% base that says either the black man or the brown man or the Jewish man or the media man or the banker man is coming to take your life. | |
| It's not your you're not in the position you're in because of you, it's because everybody else. | |
| The government was shut down, and all of this pain to the economy, to these individual workers was felt, you know, not for health care, um, right, but but actually to allow the president to build a you know six billion dollar monument to hatred and division. | |
| It's a monument to to to hatred, it's a monument to fear, it's a monument to the changing demographics of the country. | |
| Roger Stone in 2015 said build a wall as a way to remind Trump to bring up immigration. | |
| This wasn't this was a little mnemonic device, not policy, to get him to remember to do a lot of anti-immigrant stuff. | |
| And what you said, it speaks more about controlling the browning of America. | |
| Now here's the irony. | |
| When Democrats compare voter ID to Jim Crow, and they say that the Trump border wall is racist, well, then I guess then I should be making the same accusation being in Chicago because I have credentials, they're called. | |
| I that identification that has been vetted that allows me to get into the building to broadcast Hannity, the TV show. | |
| We're not doing the radio show from the convention site. | |
| I want to try and stay away from there as much as I possibly can. | |
| It is an undisclosed location that I will reveal maybe sometime on Friday or next week when I am home safely in Florida, the free state of Florida. | |
| Uh but back to my point. | |
| You know, to get in, I I literally got checked four separate times last night. | |
| People even meeting me and saying, Oh, Mr. Hannity, great to see you. | |
| Uh, can I see your credentials? | |
| Can I see your ID, please? | |
| Oh, sure, of course. | |
| Four times before I actually got to the location where I was doing my broadcast from the Fox News channel. | |
| And oh, does that mean does that mean that that somehow what that's racist? | |
| You gotta make a comparison there. | |
| Now, on point number two, well, let me play Democrats now comparing. | |
| Well, let me let me play a black resident of Chicago. | |
| Ripping Democrats uh for the issue about voting for Trump because Kamala Harris has done nothing for four years, and just put these together and see if it makes sense in your head. | |
| Now you want to overly compensate for people who never lived here before, and they're ready to be taken care of first and foremost before anything else happens here. | |
| Why would any leader put our black communities already riddled with crime at further risk by placing unvetted non-taxpayers steps away from our cities, our seniors, our children, and our homes we've worked so hard on our own to secure? | |
| We are at war, people. | |
| Our communities are at war. | |
| They are violating our communities, and we asking that we have we across the country, we asking that we demand it for office of black America or whatever you want to call it to deal with issues like this. | |
| But she doesn't give a f because where was she at in these past four years and she's vice president? | |
| What has she done for us? | |
| She haven't. | |
| Can you say one thing that you're doing? | |
| I didn't even know she was the vice president. | |
| Can we say what she has done? | |
| Let's go, Trump. | |
| And I am gonna stand on Trump, and I'm so sorry if that may ruffle people feathers. | |
| But I have done my own research, and Trump has done a lot for us, more than what the media tries to portray. | |
| They're getting all our favorite rappers, they're having Megan the Stallion swerve and all of that. | |
| Because they think that that's gonna make us vote for them. | |
| And that's not. | |
| And that never got my vote. | |
| And I will never get my vote. | |
| And I'm gonna stand on my vote. | |
| Twerkin's the stallion. | |
| Oh. | |
| So to get around Chicago and to get into the convention center, I have to pass a lot of areas that are barricaded off with racist walls. | |
| I have to, I have to show four separate times, racist voter ID, based on their definition. | |
| Why are you laughing? | |
| Because it's true. | |
| It is true. | |
| I mean, there are walls all over the place here. | |
| So apparently walls work. | |
| Well, they only work when they're on the inside. | |
| You know, it's for them only. | |
| So then, you know, if they want to make sure that other people are hurt. | |
| It's fine. | |
| So if you look at the White House, if you look at Capitol Hill, if you look at the Supreme Court, if you look at Nancy Pelosi's house, Kamala Harris's house. | |
| I did hear that Greg Abbott is bringing some illegals on up to Chicago this week to come and see the uh you know, the people speak. | |
| Because, you know, they love the illegals. | |
| Big well, I shouldn't say that right. | |
| She doesn't like that either. | |
| No, she doesn't know you you should have the courage not to use that word. | |
| I should have the courage. | |
| I should muster it. | |
| You need the courage to not say radical Islamic terror either. | |
| Sorry, Kamila. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| No, you should not make fun of her name. | |
| Kamila? | |
| It's her new name. | |
| No, her new name on this show is Comrade Kamala. | |
| No, that's a that doesn't mean all Kamila. | |
| You can call her whatever you like in. | |
| I'm going to. | |
| All right, let's get to our phones. | |
| Uh let us say hello to uh Lisa is in San Diego. | |
| It's home of one of probably one of the nicest hotels. | |
| Although we have a really nice hotel we're in in Chicago that I'm not disclosing. | |
| What is that hotel? | |
| It's called the Del Coronado. | |
| I don't think I've ever heard of it. | |
| San Diego. | |
| Oh, you've oh, I know you you've heard of it. | |
| I know Darwin. | |
| I think it was under construction when I went there. | |
| I think that's why it wasn't so long. | |
| It's been up actually for decades and decades. | |
| Oh, I think I think that one period of time I was there that was under massive overhaul construction with the city. | |
| Maybe they were like painting it and it bothered you and annoyed you. | |
| It was like a new roof, you know. | |
| It's heavy, heavy work, right? | |
| Very, very loud. | |
| Uh let's get to our phone. | |
| San Diego Lisa, how are you? | |
| You can get an in and out burger in San Diego, which it makes me happy. | |
| What's going on? | |
| Lots of yeah, lots of in and out burgers in San Diego. | |
| You can get you can get it lettuce wrapped and it's healthier. | |
| Do you know that In and Out Burger is actually moving one of their headquarters to Tennessee? | |
| I heard and you know, I had Governor DeSantis on it and the topic came up and he appointed me a uh unpaid ambassador for the free state of Florida to see if I can get in and out burger to move to Florida. | |
| By the way, no no personal gain for me at all whatsoever, except the selfish desire to buy an in and out burger. | |
| It's actually gonna be a lot of personal gain for you right in the midsection. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No, but if the way I would eat it, I would eat it accordingly. | |
| I I you eat it with a lettuce wrap. | |
| Anyway, what's on your mind, Lisa? | |
| Well, I yeah, I can quickly just hit my bullet points. | |
| I um I feel like the election is close. | |
| I feel like we're in 2020 again, and I feel like we're leaving a very small margin for shenanigans, and you know, I I know they've got what four hundred million in ad budget, and I agree with you that half of it should be Kamala and the clips about her and the videos and all that. | |
| But the other half, like Vivek said last night, is it should be focusing on Trump and going forward because their big their big p plunch on the democratic side is we're going forward, not backward. | |
| So I think personally, if they took some of that ad budget, a lot of it, and they put it into TV commercials and billboards. | |
| Billboards are amazing because you see them, bullet point. | |
| Well, you also have to you also have to spend money online. | |
| Yeah, online as especially. | |
| I feel like we have our base, they have their base, we've got to get out to the people that are you know, they have no clue. | |
| They're they don't normally get into politics, they don't think about it. | |
| They don't watch you know, Fox News probably, the Democrats, and I certainly don't watch liberal media. | |
| So I think uh what to me would be most effective. | |
| I wish you could just have a good talk with Donald Trump. | |
| But if his face was on a commercial and he could even be his funny self. | |
| I mean, l look at this tagline. | |
| I may have lost my ear or part of my ear, but I hear your cries. | |
| I hear your cries for struggling to pay the bills. | |
| I hear you feeling unsafe in your neighborhood. | |
| I feel I hear your cries about feeling like there's no way to get ahead, you know, blah blah blah. | |
| More jobs, more money in your pocket, less taxes, yada yada. | |
| I mean, if I was sitting at a bar having a beer and he he was looking me in the eye, you know, a simple commercial with his face, looking straight at me as if I'm in the room with him, and he would say those things to me like, hey, I'm asking you to trust me, give me another four years, and I'm not gonna let you down. | |
| I'm gonna earn your trust. | |
| Here's what I'm gonna do. | |
| Boom, boom, boom. | |
| And I feel like those are the kind of ads that the people need to hear. | |
| Like this is what's going on. | |
| This is why our economy is so bad. | |
| It's not his four years, it's the last four years. | |
| Are you better off? | |
| You know, and go into that whole spiel. | |
| But quick bullet point for the easy, easy read. | |
| Um I agree with both you and Vivek. | |
| I think you're both right. | |
| I think that you, yes, I think Kamala, in her own words, is extraordinarily powerful. | |
| And secondarily, I think that you have got to tell people what you are going to do to solve the issues that we're now facing. | |
| And that is inflation, a bad economy. | |
| Uh, so many families are struggling. | |
| The disaster, the national security disaster of wide open borders and unvetted uh Biden Harris, illegal immigrants from what, 180 countries, some would terror ties, some of our top geopolitical foes. | |
| You gotta deal with people and and talk about the consequences of of not fracking and drilling. | |
| That would unilaterally be America disarming economically. | |
| And you know, then law and order and safety and security, that's a big part of it. | |
| Look at their position on the rioting in the summer of 2020, and then explain what you're gonna do differently. | |
| America's place in the world would be another topic. | |
| So I think both you, Vivek, and others are right. | |
| Anyway, I appreciate your call. | |
| God bless you. | |
