Uh mail and ballots go out even sooner.
We have all the information on Hannity.com.
We have the Kamala files, the walls files, we got it all.
And we got a lot to get to today.
I mean, this is this is now crunch time, reality time.
And if you don't like the direction of the country or the radicalism that is Kamala Harris, well, you need to pay attention.
Uh I don't know why.
As I was watching Joe Biden scream out his speech, jacked up Joe made a return visit last night.
Anyway, let's play Joe Biden.
I'm not angry at the people that told me to step down.
Listen.
All this talk about how I'm angry with all those people who said I should step down.
It's not true.
I love my country more, and we need to preserve our democracy.
In 2024, we need you to vote.
Vote.
We need you to keep the Senate.
Senate.
We need you to win back the House Representatives.
And above all.
Baba.
We need you to beat Donald Trump.
Beat Donald Trump.
Come on Tim.
No, don't do that.
Um, anyway, uh, why is he so angry last night?
I don't know.
Maybe it's the Red Bull or the Monster or whatever it happens to be that they give him.
Um, but and then we had moments of AOC.
Repeating the same sentence two s twice in a row.
She might not be used to now.
By the way, I I do have one thought more about Joe Biden.
He may not be angry at the people who told him to step down.
Oh, he was reading a teleprompter.
He might not remember who told him to step down.
That's always A possibility.
AOC repeating the same sentence twice in a row with the speech.
Listen.
Thank you, Chicago, for your energy.
Thank you Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for your vision.
Thank you.
Thank you, Chicago, for your energy.
Thank you, Kamala Harris and Tim Walls for your vision.
And thank you, Joe Biden, for your leadership.
Okay, somebody screwed up the teleprompter.
Clearly.
Um I happen to read a teleprompter at night.
I had lib all around it.
It's the hardest job of my TV show.
However, um, that's a pretty big screw up.
Uh now we do have uh other news that we can uh share with you.
Uh, and I thought this was pretty interesting, but pretty pathetic over at Liberal Joe, uh, Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir.
He actually is now wishing for a member of J.D. Fance family to become pregnant due to rape.
I mean, think about what what some people have had to go through because of these laws.
Uh I mean, JD Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient.
Like inconveniences traffic.
I mean, it is uh make him go through this.
Oh, make him go through this.
Now, I shared with you earlier in the program, I'll share it with you again because I think this is very relevant.
All right, since Joe Biden did exit the 2024 presidential race four weeks ago, remember, no gaggle, no interview, no no press conference of Kamala Harris, and but it turns out that she's only gotten fawning coverage.
Now, we did go over John McLaughlin and and his study, and 70 to 84% of people don't know about all of her radical statements in her own words.
Now, that to me represents a huge opportunity for the Trump campaign, and we actually got into this in some detail last night.
And I would highly recommend that the Trump campaign go out there and very strongly push the the idea of Kamala in her own words and let people learn about who she is.
And I'd run these ads in all seven big swing states, and I'd run them again and again and again.
Now, Harris, it turns out, an MRC study that came out, uh, got sixty-six percent more airtime than Donald Trump.
Uh but the spin of Harris's coverage has been way more positive, eighty-four percent, uh, more than any other major party nominee, as Trump's coverage has been entirely hostile.
Eighty-nine percent negative.
Anyway, the guy that knows media better than anybody, the one and only Joe Concha is with us.
He has his new book out.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and bookstores around the country, progressively worse.
Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's dunky?
I have a copy myself, and I've been reading through it, and it's well done.
And it just is a fact.
Is you know, I have James Carville on TV tonight.
We're gonna interview James, and I have a couple of questions regarding this very issue.
You know, what happened to the era of built- you know, the era of big government is over, the end of welfare as we know it.
Abortion should be legal and rare.
Uh, those days are gone.
Not with this party.
Now it's, you know, no regulation at all on abortion whatsoever.
Then it's gender quote affirming care, including uh treatment without parental consent.
And it's it's getting more bizarre by the day when it and including putting feminine hygiene products for women in boys' bathrooms.
Tim Walls, thank you very much.
Gavin, thank you very much.
Anyway, Joe Conchert, welcome back, sir.
Thank you, Sean.
Great to be back.
And I hope you're going to Gibson's in Chicago, the best steakhouse in the Windy City.
So you don't understand.
I'm not allowed to leave.
Uh I am in a bubble.
And when I got outside the bubble yesterday, because I have to get outside the bubble to actually get in the convention center.
I was not greeted very warmly.
Uh, I think the word being shouted in my face was I am scum.
But well, you know, why let a few details get in the way of a otherwise great time in the great city of Chicago?
You gotta be on lockdown then, pretty much, it sounds like just basically hotel United Center Hotel, because I didn't have to work on all these other shows.
I mean, I probably would have a pretty relaxing week, but that's that's not my reality.
Well, it's gonna be I mean, you said it perfectly.
Everything we've seen, just in the first night alone, angry, divisive, negative, nothing about policy, by the way.
You notice they don't talk about that.
In fact, when you listen to Joe Biden last night, he talked more about Trump, how horrible Trump is, January 6th, going through Charlottesville, that lie, uh, suckers and losers, that lie.
I mean, the lies that were told, and and you're right.
They gave him the angry needle last night.
Oh, so it's even worse than that.
It's Charlottesville, it's it's Donald Trump, they lie about his his position on abortion.
They lie about his position on the border, they lie about him on the economy and tax cuts.
They lie about every single thing he's ever done and said.
I mean, and nobody's fact checking him.
Well, that's the thing.
It's like they're all on spring break for the last three and a half years when Joe Biden says he created sixty million jobs when he says that inflation is falling.
No, inflation is not falling.
Inflation is just not going up as quickly.
It's like if I gained 50 pounds one year, my wife said, Hey, you know, you're kind of getting big.
Can you lose some weight?
And then the next year I come back and say, hey, honey, I only lost I only gained 25 pounds this year.
That doesn't mean I'm losing weight.
That's just saying I'm gaining weight as quickly, and they keep selling that lie.
You're exactly right.
But uh, you know, in the end, if this is gonna be, you know, like you ever see the Seinfeld episode, festivists and airing a grievances.
If we're gonna see that now for the next three nights after what we saw last night, I think they're gonna lose the independence, the type of people they need in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, quite quickly, because you could only hear so much whining and complaining, and nothing about what are you gonna do for the American people the next four years if you gain power, besides Trump must be defeated, we must preserve democracy, therefore, root and vote for the candidate who was installed literally without one vote, nor without taking one question of substance from the press.
It's just remarkable the gaslighting going on.
Oh, it's it's it's going on now.
Is there a way to stop this?
Knowing and here's the reality.
I don't think at any point Camel is going to do a real interview.
Uh if you look at the people involved in interviewing or doing the debate at ABC, I don't believe they're going to be fair to Donald Trump.
Probably most of the questions will be written by Rachel Scott and uh and George Stephanopoulos.
So I'm expecting it to be a hostile environment.
That the look he kind of thrives in those environments.
However, you know, when the deck is stacked against you that much, it's gonna be hard, but it may be a do-or-die debate for him in that sense in a very hostile environment.
And I mean, Fox has invited him to do debates.
Why wouldn't he do why wouldn't Kamala do Brett and Martha?
They'll be fair.
Because they would ask relevant germaine tough questions.
They probably would do with Tim Russert, right?
When we actually used to have real journalists on other networks where Russell would have a politician on and literally play a sound bite that that person said and says, Why is your position 180 from what that used to be?
Explain why you've changed your mind on this.
You could do that with Kamala Harris on a hundred different things now at this point.
You said you were a hundred percent for fracking.
You said you did want to end the fossil fuel industry.
You said you did want to end all offshore drilling.
You said you did want to abolish ice.
You did compare ice to the KKK.
You did say that illegal border crossings should be legal.
You do support sanctuary cities, you do support men competing against biological women in sports.
You do support higher taxes, you do support you could go down the line, Sean, read it to her, and then watch that brain break, because at least as you've said before, Biden had an excuse, right?
He's getting old and he's sundowning, dementia, whatever you want to call it.
But Kamala Harris, it's always a complete human Chernobyl when she has to speak outside of a teleprompter, especially if she has to defend positions that are indefensible.
But let me defend her in a sense.
You know, go back to when she debated.
Now, uh Tulsi Caber Gabber did a great takedown of her.
Um no doubt about it.
When she debated in the primary, but she did a really good job delivering her prepared remarks, taking down Joe Biden himself over the issue of partnering with the former Klansman and stopping the integration of schools and saying, Oh, I was that girl.
That she memorized her line.
So she's now already, as according to reports, been preparing for this debate with Donald Trump.
She's gonna memorize the lines.
Anyone that thinks that she won't, I think it was underestimating her.
And and Donald Trump has to be prepared for that.
No, you're right about that.
I mean, you're you're gonna hear she's probably already practiced a hundred times in the year.
There's only one person on the stage who isn't a convicted felon.
There's only one person on the stage that had to declare bankruptcy for his businesses, even though she's never run a business, but fine, good enough.
You're right about that.
And no matter how she does, you're right.
The expectations, just like with Joe Biden, will be so low that if she only does halfway decent, just good enough and gets in two or three zingers, memorized and packaged, uh, then maybe this thing could go better for.
But in the end, eighty ninety million people are going to be watching that debate.
And in the end, you see these polls where the economy and an immigration are easily the top two issues in this election.
That favors Donald Trump.
So if I'm Trump, don't answer the question that you're asked.
Answer the question you wanted to be asked, and then by the way, ask questions of Kamala Harris directly since you know you can't trust the moderators to do that.
Trump does that again, you put her on the defensive, and I think this whole race changes where Kamala Harris is exposed to the candidate she was in 2019 when she didn't get one vote from any Democrat because she had to drop out in 2019 before she even got to Iowa.
I have my own stingers, and I'm gonna keep them to myself.
Because I don't want to telegraph it.
Because you know and I know that the media, you know, uh in this country monitors both my radio and TV show.
Can you imagine the poor pathetic loser in their underwear in some basement somewhere or God only knows where?
Uh in some Godforsaken place, you know, that gets paid to actually listen to me in the hopes that I'll say one wrong thing, one wrong word or sentence or phrase, uh, you know, in the hopes that they can come after me and either get me fired or boycotted or try to make my life miserable.
Anyway, uh on Monday night, it turns out that in an interview with uh Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, uh, well, you have ABC's Lindsay Davis.
My understanding is she's going to be at this debate.
Is that correct?
Yeah, she's one of the co-moderators of David Muir, I believe.
Yeah, she said, well, former President Trump is expected to campaign in Howell, Michigan tomorrow.
Maybe people are aware that a month ago when Howell KKK protesters marched in the streets with the uh with the white robes and suggested that they support Donald Trump.
I'm curious if you make anything about the connections.
Now, why did the fact that some idiots and they're idiots if you're part of any racist organization?
I've no place in my heart or mine for any of you.
I'm a Christian.
I believe we're all created by the same God.
But, you know, why because you have a few ignorant people, would you try to why would you ever bring up that question?
Because that is an ignorant question and an abusively biased one.
Donald Trump now has to be responsible, I guess, for every single person on the planet who says they may support him.
And by the way, how do we not know remember the Lincoln Project tried this with Glenn Youncan in Virginia?
Where they sent some people that are supposed to be white supremacists to a rally of his, turns out they were paid and bought for, right, and was exposed pretty quickly.
How do we really know that those people were part of the KKK and not plants?
So then this question could be asked.
And by the way, last night Joe Biden said that the protesters in Chicago had a point.
In other words, he's trying to both size this thing.
Well, why isn't he being held to account for all those people who are up in the faces of Chicago PD, calling them pigs or worse, the ones screaming that they'll bring the war home, the ones declaring an infitata against Israel.
I mean, amazing.
Joe Biden the one carrying the pro Hamas flags.
Yep, pro Hamas, Hezbollah, the headbands, the whole thing.
Why isn't Joe Biden?
Why isn't Kamala Harris responsible for them, especially when they have signaled that they will kind of think they may have a point here?
I mean, that's the real questions that should be asked.
But yeah, this is what Donald Trump is up against on ABC, who, by the way, it's one of its top executives, uh, is very close with the with Kamala Harris.
And you have to wonder you know, CNN gave the questions to Hillary once in 2016.
How do we know that's not gonna happen again?
It's a fair question because it's happened before.
Okay, nothing nothing the media does surprises me.
Anyway, Joe Concha, don't forget his book.
Uh you don't want to miss it.

You don't want to miss it.
It's a great movie.
And we'll tell you about Dennis Quaid, who's starring he's amazing as Reagan, and he really captures the spirit of Reagan as a man as a leader.
And anyway, the parallels between the times we're living through right now and what we saw during the Reagan era, which they're just endless inflation, rising gas prices, you know, of Russia, a weak leader, an assassination attempt.
I mean, it's like we're headed back to the late 70s and early 80s all over again.
And as I said, Dennis Quaid is phenomenal.
He's just a great actor overall and a great guy, met him.
Uh, but you can get a group together, your family, your friends, your church group, whatever, go see this movie.
You definitely want to get your tickets now, and you can do so.
And in a sense, it's, you know, you're vote voting one more time to for the Gipper.
I mean, and it just is a reminder of that conservatism when applied to the policies in this country, they just work.
Anyway, you can get your tickets, go to their website.
It's ReaganMovie.com.
Check it out now.
Reagan Movie One Word.com.
And don't forget, see Reagan in theaters as it comes out on August the 30th.
All right, 800-941 Sean, our number.
If you want to be a part of the program coming to you, we are from beautiful Chicago.
Uh actually, it's a much nicer city, cleaner city than New York by a long shot.
It's really not even close.
And um, uh, well, let me play for you.
Uh, this was an interview.
What one of the Fox News reporters, I'm not sure who did the interview.
Every Palestinian supports Hamas, not just me, interviewing these crazy, insane protesters, you know, that are pro-Hamas here in Chicago.
Do you support October 7th?
Yes, I do.
Listen.
You support Hamas.
Every Palestinian support, not just me.
Every Palestinian subordinates.
You support October 7th.
Who?
October 7th.
October 7, yes, I do.
What do what's wrong with October 7th?
You tell me.
Women and children.
Well, to murder.
What is this?
What is the I can't say it.
You know, and this is where Joe Biden's comments last night really and and it also goes to Kamala Harris.
I mean, we have the story about how she met with this what mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, who has extraordinarily radical views and ties.
And Tim Walls is friends with this radical imam.
We've we've played some of his statements on this program.
And then you look into, for example, well, why didn't they pick Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania and why did you go with the radical leftist?
Well, is she just trying to appease this this insane pro Hamas base of their party?
Uh it's not just a legitimate question.
I mean, under Harris and Biden, we know for a fact that they they turned a blind eye to sanctions that were in place that were bankrupting Iran when Donald Trump was president.
And they allowed them to sell on the world market their oil and the and they made hundreds of billions of dollars.
They even gave specific sanction waivers so payments could be made to Iran and the mullahs in Iran.
They are the number one state sponsor of terror.
They even negotiated negotiated their own insane deal to pay six billion dollars in ransom.
And look at the look at the net result of wealthy imams.
It's not good.
I mean, that what we've seen nothing but more terror.
We saw October seventh.
We know the Cuds forces, the Iranian revolutionary guard forces.
We know that they did a lot of the plotting and the planning and the scheming and the lead up to October the seventh.
We know that they've been supplying the weaponry to Hamas and Gaza and Hezbollah in in Lebanon and the Hooti rebels on top of it and firing their own weapons, and all that Harris and and Biden have been telling Israel is show restraint, show restraint, show restraint.
It's pretty unbelievable.
But here's both sides.
Biden last night, oh, they have a point.
Well, they really don't have a point.
Because the only point should be America should have moral clarity, like Prime Minister Netanyahu has, and understand that evil exists, and this is a battle between civilizations and those that believe in this sick ideology of convert or die, those who have in their charter the destruction of Israel, have no desire for peace.
That the only option available if you don't want your citizenry murdered and slaughtered like they were on October seventh, the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in a day.
And if you don't want women raped, and if you don't want brutality and torture, and you don't want beheadings and kidnappings, well, then you're gonna support the full-on victory of Israel over Hamas.
It's really that simple.
It's not a complicated issue.
And I'm not saying America should put one boot on the ground or or even pay for one penny of it.
You know, I think all these countries, for example, if you want to help Ukraine in their battle against against Russia and his aggression, okay.
Well, Ukraine actually has they are one of the most mineral rich countries in the entire world.
And how about they use their minerals to pay for any weaponry that we may be providing them because we cannot afford to to subsidize this to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
And with Israel, Israel is offered to pay for it.
But it's clearly there's nothing but hostility from Harris and Joe Biden, and it will be Harris and Walls if they ever, God forbid, became president and vice president.
Anyway, but Joe Biden at his both sides moment, threw him a lifeline.
Listen.
and finally finally finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war Those crushed those protesters out in the street, they have a point.
A lot of innocent people are being killed.
Both sides.
Both sides.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh, by the way, Linda, it's great to have you here.
Thank you for finally showing up.
I am so happy to be here with you, Sean, and these fine people of Chicago.
Chicago, as they say it.
All right, we please do me a favor while you're in Chicago.
What is that?
Leave?
You want me to go home, right?
No, I don't want you to go home.
You Sure.
No, I'm glad you're here.
Oh, you are.
Glad you made it.
I didn't think you needed to take the extra effort.
I tried to give you an out and say you could work from home.
But I mean, seriously, if you want me to go, I don't you know, I don't want to take up too much room.
I don't want to be in anybody's.
I just want to make sure everybody's okay with me being here.
We love having you.
Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
Uh, and thank you for the extra effort.
You did put in a lot of extra effort.
For saying thank you.
That's one of the things I love about you.
Is just we do say thank you.
You do.
You say thank you.
And I said thank you the other day when you were struggling uh with your plane and it was a mess, and your bags were lost.
And then as soon as you told me your bags were in Chicago, I immediately got on it.
Let me tell you something, all right?
There's a reason that you are named after our saint.
Okay.
Like a good Catholic.
What's Sean Patrick?
Patron saying to helping a sister out.
Very, very grateful.
Very grateful.
Uh let's go to Ed in California.
Ed, how are you?
Glad you called.
Good.
Uh thanks for having me on, Sean.
Um, maybe you can help me out with this.
Um, I'm listening to Harris talk about raising wages for all the workers and so forth.
And then on the other hand, she wants to freeze pricing on all the companies that these people work for.
So my question is, how are is she gonna increase wages for those workers?
She won't.
I mean, the the economic policies are a prescription for economic stagflation, inflation, and and and downright collapse, to be very honest.
And just look at the taxes she wants to raise at all, and she's bragging about top marginal rate.
She's can willing to entertain 70 to 80 percent, uh, raising taxes on small business and corporations and price gauging as she calls it, and so on and so forth.
Uh none of all none of this is good for the economy, and then all the spending she wants to be involved in.
I don't believe her opinion is changed on the very bill she herself sponsored in the United States uh Senate with Bernie Sanders for the you know to eliminate the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal.
I think she is that radical and extreme, and I think those policies are that dangerous.
Her economic policies are dangerous, immigration policies are dangerous, energy policies are dangerous.
We would unilaterally disarm economically.
Uh, I think her positions on law and order are are beyond corrupt.
I think she would weaponize the Department of Justice to go after conservatives, but wouldn't lift a finger to go after the real criminals that make your streets not safe and secure for you and your family.
Uh we got a big problem.
And never mind her farm policy.
Yes, ma'am.
May I just add one thing?
Yeah, go right out to the caller's point.
Sure.
W why is no one saying that she's already doing this?
She's been in the office for four years with Biden as a vice president.
You don't need to wonder.
She's already shown you what she's gonna do.
They weaponized everything, everything sucks, everything works.
Well, true, but she wants to take it to the next level.
That's the whole point.
Right, but she's acting like she's gonna fix something.
Like you can't be the problem and the solution.
No, she wants to act like she's an outsider, and Donald Trump has been making this point over and over again.
It's it's as if she didn't exist as the vice president of our country for three and a half years.
Yeah, I mean, I think that she existed when it mattered and she made it worse, and then she disappeared so that she can go do whatever it is the Kamala does in her free time.
The the number one thing that you will observe if you were in Chicago with us, is there are walls everywhere.
There are walls, and you need IDs.
Stop it.
They're racist.
Okay.
Well, I'm just telling you, those are racist walls.
Racist walls everywhere, people.
Everywhere.
And racist credentials.
So for me to get into, I was just going to mention for me to get into the DNC, my credentials uh with a photo ID were checked not once, not twice, not three times, not but four times.
Now, some of the people said, Hi, Mr. Hannity, and then said, Yeah, I see your ID.
I don't like being called Mr. Call My Dad Mr. Okay.
Uh but they say hi, uh Mr. How Ms. Added I watch your show all the time.
Uh can I see your credentials?
Can I see your ID?
And that's what that was to get into the building and get away from the people screaming that I am scum on my way in the building.
And James said no, I'm not sure.
James didn't go last night.
Kristen You didn't?
Kristen, you want to describe the scene last night as uh Kristen's rolling her eyes.
You don't want to describe the scene last night.
Is that what you're saying?
It doesn't run in the family, is all I'm gonna say.
All right, let's get to back to our phones.
I hope that answers your question, Ed.
Thank you for a good call.
Minnesota Mary next Sean Hannity Show.
How are you, Mary?
Hi, Sean.
Greetings from one mile west of the Minneapolis border.
Oh, wow.
Glad you called.
Yeah.
So, Sean, again, like your previous caller, maybe you can help me out trying to figure this out.
Why, Sean?
Why are the polls showing nationally so close?
Except if you look at Rasmussen, they're showing Trump ahead four points today, I think.
But the issues polls, Sean, are showing a big lead for Trump.
So if the national polls are oversampling Democrats or picking their zip codes strategically to get the results they want and are rigged, as my boss thinks, then are the issues polls also doing that, and they're actually bigger, or are the people telling the truth on the issues polls and they know Trump's preferable and much better choice, but there's still gonna be morons and vote well.
Let me help you with two things.
One in 2016 and 2020, Trump has proven himself to be under polled in in both presidential elections.
Trump is hard to poll because there are people that will vote for him, but then they're not gonna answer the question because they don't want to deal with your crap.
They just don't care.
Um and they'll just flat out either not answer or just lie to you just to throw you off.
That's issue number one.
Issue number two is go back to what I said.
John McLaughlin's poll.
There's three pollsters I trust.
Robert Cahaley, and he's with Trafalgar and Insider Advantage, Matt Towery, and I do trust John McLaughlin, McLaughlin Associates.
And McLaughlin's poll shows that most people don't know everything that we have been playing now for a month on this program.
It has not penetrated into the bloodstream or the consciousness of the American culture.
That has to happen for people to be fully informed voters.
We only have 28 days to get there.
Got a lot of work ahead of us.
So that would be issue number two.
Issue number three would be the state-run media mob, Pravda, and the fact that they have not been doing their job and vetting Walls or Harris, and they have given her a pass, and they're not challenging her, and they've allowed her to get away without interviews and uh with without press conferences, and they're protecting her.
It's the equivalent of hiding her in the basement like they did Joe in 2020.
So uh that that is a big part in it.
You know, the media is a powerful institution.
Like the deep state is a powerful institution, and these forces are at work to prevent you from getting information that you need and getting it widely disseminated.
They prevented the whole story of Hunter Biden's laptop from being, you know, front page news in every paper around the country the last election.
What do you expect?
Totally, Sean.
I I agree with you a hundred percent.
But that's the national polls.
Why are the issues polls showing that people do know that Trump is a much better candidate when the national polls aren't?
Are the issues because they poll very small amounts of people.
I I I think if I had to guess, I would say that it is a very, very close race.
I think she has had a one-month free pass, and I'm hoping that that that this audience will pick up the slack.
And I've been urging people to download the Kamala files on Hannity.com and download the walls files on Hannity.com.
And if they're not gonna do the job that they should be doing, then hopefully you can pick up the slack and pass it on to your friends and your neighbors and your co-workers and strangers and post it on social media so that it can go it be disseminated and we can bypass the the corrupt institution of media in the country.
You know, so it's gonna take it's gonna take a lot of work, and it's gotta be all hands on deck.
But you raise a great question, Mary.
You really do.
That's gonna wrap things up for today.
