All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Toll for your numbers 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we're in Chicago.
We're at the DNC, Hannity Broadcasting.
We'll be here all week as we make our way over to the safety and security of the mob that will be at the what is it, the United Center, I guess is where they're having this.
78 days till election day, 29 days till early voting.
Uh things are getting very, very real.
Uh the issues, if this if this campaign at the end of the day becomes about issues, substantive issues, if it becomes about the insanity of Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, and their immigration policies, you know, decriminalize licenses that are legal for illegals and free college education, free health care, free education, hope it.
If it becomes about law and order and opening up your windows to smell burning rubber rather than stop the rioting that's taking place and sending out tweets to support bail funds for rioters.
You know, if it becomes about no fracking, no drilling, if it becomes about price gauging and gouging, whatever she wants to call it, and economic policies that will tax pretty much the air you breathe and the gold in your teeth when you die, um, then vote for Kamala Harris.
If it comes to a foreign policy rooted in radicalism, extremism, as she caters to the pro-Hamas wing of her party.
Well, Kamala Harris is your person.
Uh let's hope that is not the case.
You know, beyond inflation, the economy that every American, I mean, she even acknowledged this on Friday, which is we pointed out on Friday.
It's pretty amazing acknowledgement.
And the price of bread and the price of everything is going through the roof.
I'm like, yeah, those are your policies.
You're the one that Bragg we call it Bidenomics.
Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle.
And Okay.
Well, Bidenomics' not bragging about it anymore.
She's running as far away from it as possible, but she's the last person in the room.
She's it.
So the next big issue would be the issue of illegal immigration.
Now, Harris campaign co-chair is the Michigan governor, Whitmer says giving driver's licenses, free college, free health care to illegal immigrants like Tim Walls did a pragmatic policy that will resonate with Americans, she says.
I don't think that's gonna resonate with Americans.
Here's what she said.
Well, let me ask you about her running mate Tim Walls, and particularly on the issue of immigration.
Obviously, some of his policies in his state have come into focus.
He signed uh into law initiatives allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licenses, uh, quality free for free tuition at public universities and enroll in the state's free health care program for low-income residents.
Would you like to see the Harris administration adopt those same policies, Governor?
Well, I can tell you, you know, Tim Walls is a pragmatic guy.
He's a Midwesterner just like me.
And um, I think some of the wonderful things he's done in Minnesota resonate with uh, you know, Americans in all states.
What's amazing to me is they're not even backing off it.
I mean, i w one of the things she Talked about when she did mention illegal immigration, I think it was out in either Arizona or Nevada when she gave a speech was in that same speech she keeps that she keeps reading over and over again is she keeps talking about a path to citizenship.
A path to citizenship, let me interpret that for you.
That would be called amnesty.
Uh anyway, here to discuss this because uh Harris is saying, I will fist fix things if you vote me into office.
She's currently in office.
Anyway, attorney uh Ignacio Alvarez uh Republican candid uh candidate for sheriff in Miami Dade.
Uh their primary, by the way, is coming up tomorrow.
Sarah Carter is with us, Fox News uh contributor, investigative reporter, uh discussing her plans on day one.
On day one, she's gonna fix inflation that she caused with her policies.
I want to play her bragging about Bidynomics too, because I'm so sick and tired of this.
She brags and brags and brags.
We call it Bidenomics.
She just said this, you know, not that long ago.
In the last year, she's bragging about Bidenomics.
Inflation is only transitory.
The illegal immigration is um, you know, it's the border's secure.
Have you ever been there?
Well, no, I've not been there, but I've never been to Europe either.
Now that's got to be the answer of the century.
Anyway, here's Kamala.
Ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else, that is called idonomics.
That is called Bidonomics, and we are very proud of itonomics.
And as today's jobs numbers make clear, Bidenomics is working.
Con artist Kamala.
No, it's not working.
Anyway, uh, we welcome Ignatia Ignatio uh Iggy Alvarez and Sarah Carter is with us.
Uh welcome back to the program and Sarah, always great to have you as well.
Thank you.
Thank you, Hannity.
Iggy, all right, let's start with you.
Good luck on your primary, by the way, tomorrow.
I love Miami Dade.
It's a cool county, great people, uh, great way of life down there.
Florida believes in law and order, and uh I'm a proud member of your state now, and a I am a legal resident, and uh in every way imaginable, domiciled the whole bit.
Whatever my lawyers told me to do, I did it on steroids and human growth hormone.
Anyway, um, you know, this is impacting small towns, big cities.
Now, Florida's had to deal with Kamala and Joe's unvetted illegal immigrants, and among them, by the way, we now know people were terrorized, released in the country.
We don't know where they are.
Uh, but we have to pay for the cost of housing and education and health care uh because of their the the crisis that they've created.
In New York City alone, they spent nearly six trillion dollars, you know, dealing with with Joe and Kamala's wide open borders, and we simply cannot afford it.
No wonder why the country's going into debt and these states are going into debt.
Iggy.
Um, yes, Hannity.
I gotta tell you that we have a lot in common.
My parents were Cuban immigrants, they came here to Miami, they worked hard, they put me through Catholic school as yourself.
But when I became a cop at twenty-one years old, I started raising my family's why I went back to school.
I paid college for myself.
I went back to my bachelor's, my master's, and my law degree.
All paid by myself.
And what worried me, as you mentioned, there's a primary tomorrow.
We've had less than 15% of the Republican registered voters come out and vote.
And this is the first time we've got electric sheriff in sixty-six years.
Do we need another New York?
Another Chicago, another Washington.
We don't get this right, and we don't have the Republicans come out and support a right candidate.
We have a risk of Miami becoming the city if the Democrat wins.
So tomorrow's a very important election for here for Miami Bay County to keep, like you say, it's incredible county functioning the way it is.
Well, I mean, it it's so important, and I don't understand this mindset and this mentality, be it Harris or Walls or Gretchen Whitmer, or this new radicalized, you know, democratic socialist leftist statist communist party, because that's basically what they're advocating, Sarah Carter.
You know, but you don't have to abide by the laws of this country.
We'll reward you with a path to citizenship, basically amnesty.
And when you come here, don't worry, we're gonna pay for your housing, your health care, your education, and even gave you college tuition and illegal driver's license.
Where did this mindset come from?
Because I kind of, you know, believe that if I ever break the law, God forbid I spit on the sidewalk, they're gonna want to put me in jail for the rest of my life.
No, they only want to do that, Sean, when you're a conservative or when you talk common sense.
Uh but when you're actually breaking the law and you're destroying the fabric of America, the leftist radicals.
This isn't the 1990 Democrat Party.
This is a new reinvented insane Democrat Party that is based on radicalism, much of what we're seeing right now in Venezuela, which is why you're seeing tens of thousands, tens of thousands of people marching in the streets standing up to Maduro because it just doesn't work.
But despite the fact that socialism and Marxism doesn't work, we have a leftist radical agenda in the United States.
Um it's adversarial and it's coming from within, and they want to break that down, which is the reason why you see Kamala Harris proposing these insane price controls on groceries.
It doesn't work, it's never worked.
You could go all the way back to the 1970s uh when Richard Nixon uh tried that.
I think it was like in 1971, and I was reading about it, then like in 1973 had to stop it altogether because it wasn't working in the United States.
It will never work.
Price controls don't work.
That's what we're seeing right now in Venezuela.
We're also seeing extreme, extreme measures of you know what we saw before, defunding the police, um Walsh and his COVID mandates that left people without jobs that left businesses shuttered.
Um he asked, I don't care how many camo hats he wears, he is a Marxist.
He is not a Midwestern next door neighborly kind of guy.
He's the kind of guy that wants you to call on your neighbor if you see your neighbor um allowing more than two or three family members in the house during COVID.
You know, he's the kind of guy that does not believe in freedom and the American way.
And Kamala Harris is just an extension of Biden.
Biden equals Harris.
That's what I see.
And and not only does Biden equal Harris and Harris equal Biden, but Harris is stalin a thousand, right?
She's a thousandfold.
She is really pushing a communist agenda on the American people.
And sadly, you know, your question is how how do people accept this?
How do we even have anyone in the country that says, oh, this might be a good idea?
Well, unfortunately, while we were asleep at the wheel, Sean, and you've talked about this a lot on your show, you know, we had professors and people within our university system that have brainwashed the American people into believing in these insane agendas.
They do not believe in sovereignty and nationalism and making your nation great and standing for individual rights and freedoms.
They have a globalist ideology that leans towards a Marxist socialist viewpoint, and they've indoctrinated that into our kids.
We need to bring back freedom.
We need to make that cool again.
And we need to tell people, you know, that giving in to these insane ideologies that have already proven to be false and wrong and have already broken nation after nation after nation in history, going all the way back to the Roman Empire, which by the way had price controls, that that does not work.
Um and we need to do it in a way that's palatable so that the American people can understand that and vote against it.
I mean, this is really a vote between Marxism and democracy and sovereignty and freedom.
We we that really is the vote this year.
It's not Trump Harris.
It's well, they they claim they believe in freedom.
Well, Kamala Harris, I'm gonna take on big corporations.
First of all, the the percentage of profit that these companies are making is one point six percent.
It is not out of line where it has been historically in any way, shape, manner, or form.
What they don't want to acknowledge is their policies have caused the inflation.
And then on top of it, whatever money that that they take in as a government, look at what they're spending it on, hence the you know, free housing, health care, education for illegals.
Absolutely, and innovation, right?
So uh y you're going after the big corporations, and the big corporations are competitive.
They are look at just what happened with SpaceX.
Look at Elon Musk.
Look at Jeff Bezos.
Look at what we're doing in the industry of faith alone.
Or Neuralink or any of these great innovations where that comes from being competitive.
That comes from people going out there and in especially in America, building a corporation that they believe and dream in, and one that they can fight for.
And not only that, they employ.
They employ people, they give them jobs, they build communities up.
Instead, we want to punish the corporations and the people that make the money that give the job.
I mean, it's just so backwards.
And now we're just gonna give all of our taxpayer dollars away, hundreds of billions of dollars to NGOs that are involved in trafficking human beings into the United States, even if they think they're doing a good job, they're not because they're participating in one of the biggest human trafficking events in human history.
And we can see that every single day.
We have between 10 to 20 million illegals.
I think in the United States, total is around 20 million.
But since Biden, between 7.3 million to over 10 million, we don't even have the exact number illegals coming into our country.
And now when we can't even afford to take care of our veterans on the three veterans that have given everything to this country and are homeless and are mentally ill, now we're gonna turn around and give hundreds of millions of dollars more to illegals.
You want to know why, Sean?
Because they want them on the voter rolls.
They want to legalize everybody that comes in here because they believe in their mind and their little myopic view of the world that somehow all of these people are gonna vote for them.
Well, I'm Cuban on my mom's side, and I know that for most Cubans, we would not put up with that.
And our families would not put up with that.
And we know what communism brings.
And most of the Venezuelans that have come in this country legal or illegally, know what communism brings.
But what the Dems want to do is they want to buy, they want to purchase their voters.
And that is shameful, disgusting, and should be exposed.
We appreciate you being with us, Sarah Carter, Fox News contributor, investigative reporter, and uh Ignatio uh Iggy Alvarez, candidate for sheriff Miami Dade, uh, will be watching your primary tomorrow.
Uh, we appreciate you both being with us.
Thank you both.
Thank you.

25 to the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN.
If you want to be a part of the program, we're in Chicago.
We are at the DNC.
Got to give a shout out to Jeans and Jude's.
Their hot dog place is superb.
I mean, superb.
And I love Chicago hot dogs.
It's pretty much the only thing I like about this place.
Nothing else.
And of course, we're stuck here for four days.
Not the place I'd ever choose to live.
Not exactly the safest place in the world.
Oh, as evidenced by, let's see.
Chicago kicked off convention week.
30 shot this weekend.
Five killed.
I'm glad that the other 25 survived.
But you can predict on any weekend.
You know, but do we know their names?
Oh no, we don't know their names.
Why?
Because they can't weaponize and politicize those names.
I've been scrolling those names since 2009 because I believe that every life matters.
And as a Christian, I believe we're all created by the same God.
But is there any effort?
But let's see.
Democrats have been running this Adam Schifhole for how many decades?
And let's see, is there safety and security for the residents?
No.
Is there law and order?
No.
Is there high taxes?
Yes.
Is there a lot of poverty and homelessness?
Yes.
Do illegal immigrants get treated better than than even our veterans in many cases?
Yes.
Welcome to your radicalized socialist Marxist Communist Democratic Party led now by Kamala Harris and Tim Walls.
Welcome to Chicago.
I'm getting really nasty looks.
The few I mean, I'm I'm I'm trying to hide.
I'm not I'm not out there, you know, trying to you know walk the streets saying, I'm Sean Hannity, how are you?
No, I'm like, I'm hanging out, hiding.
I'm just doing my work, going to and from work with an army around me, you know, people surrounding me everywhere I go.
I which by the way, I hate.
Lynn and Linda, I know that your your plane got um canceled yesterday, and we wish you were here with us.
Uh and I know you're gonna be here tomorrow, and I'm so sorry about all that you've been through because it has been an unmitigated Adam Schiff show for you, and it was terrible.
And just just your bags alone is a story that would take an entire three hours on this radio program.
But we we are glad that you're you you have decided to join us.
I did give you, in fairness, of the option, don't worry, you can stay home.
You've been through enough.
I uh forget it.
I said, Don't worry about it.
We understand.
Because my plane got canceled yesterday, too.
Everybody said there was this very weird thing that happened, and you know, to Blair's credit, you know, he warned me early, and he's like, Listen, I don't know what's going on, but it's a lot of weird things where they're saying you cannot travel to the West Coast from the East Coast.
And I went to the airport and I met with customer service, and I asked some of the pilots I saw in the in the terminal, and they're like, No, we don't nothing's being grounded.
I'm like, are you sure?
I'm like, I'm showing them the screenshots.
They're like, no, sorry, we just don't see that.
I'm like, all right.
Sure enough, get on the plane, do thodo, long story short, you know, wait in line for two hours, get on the plane for three hours, wait another five hours in the airport, you know, and everybody knows the story because everybody's been through it at some point in their lives.
But it was the weirdest thing that we all know.
I was I sat on a plane for six hours.
It's ridiculous.
Only to be taken off the plane.
Exactly.
They debug here's what here's what breaks my heart, right?
You're on this plane, you're by yourself, you're traveling for work, and then you see this woman with three small children.
And I'm like, oh God.
I'm like, No, and then everyone gets impatient with the kids.
What do you expect these kids to do?
Just stop.
Just stop.
I swear to God, I saw this.
Leave the kids alone.
And the and the flight attendant or the American Airlines out with the airline I was flying, and they're god awful.
And I was flying them, and they're the woman is being so nasty to her.
I said, Are you all right?
What is wrong with you?
The child is three.
Oh boy.
Not go off already.
She's like, I don't think this is this is an A and B conversation.
You can say your way out of it.
I'm like, well, you get a zero for originality.
I'm already in it because you're talking to me, so we can just drop that right now.
And at the end of the day, I'm defending the children.
So you know, in come in come the cops.
Yeah, well, I mean, good luck.
They would have lost that fight because I'm defending the case.
On flight 622, uh we have a passenger in row eighty-eight that needs to be instantly removed.
It has been a very, very bad day, and they ended up sending it.
Well, the same day as you.
I'm I'm over it, but you know, Well, your stuff didn't get sent to one state while you're not.
No, I got my I got my bags back.
I I am fortunate that I did get my bags back.
You didn't, and I didn't know that has been but we recovered them for you because they sent them to Chicago.
I think you guys can look really good on my t-shirts.
I gotta tell you.
It's so I will say one other thing.
Uh huh.
We in the course of this when you were getting on your plane.
I told you don't do it.
I said if you do it.
You didn't say don't do it.
You're like, let's make the bet.
No.
I said if you do it, you're not taking off.
I did tell you that.
And I said to me, And you said, Oh, yeah, I you you no no no, no, I know the whole story.
I was there.
Do you really?
Because it's in writing and somehow you're revising it.
This is the part of me that confuses.
Claire, you need to put your mic on.
Because he's the one that has it all in writing.
Now, I said to you I have it all in writing too.
I'm so confident that you shouldn't have boarded the plane.
I said, I'll bet you a thousand dollars.
You're like, oh no, my plane's taken off.
And I said, No, it's not.
You know why?
Because the pilot communicated one time.
I said, I'll bet you $1,000 to you eating a hot dog.
A Chicago hot dog, which you have not been willing to do if I win the bet.
And you and we ha Who won the I am a woman of my word.
And some people eat pro when they lose a bet, and I'm gonna eat a big old disgusting hot dog.
I'm gonna cog my arteries because that's the kind of gal I am.
No, I'm not gonna I I I have forgiven the debt that you you lost and everything.
Bro, there's no forgiving the debt.
I don't need your Joe Biden handout.
I'm good.
No, it's not.
I'll leave the hot dog with the big girl.
You have had such a horrible form of the.
What is it?
Jean and Gene and Jude.
I'm going to see Jean and Jude.
Oh my God.
You're talking about my favorite uh Jeans and Jude's hot dogs.
Jeans and Judes.
Got it.
Okay.
But they're very far away.
I mean, from where we are.
But here's the thing.
You don't have to eat the hot dog.
I don't want you to.
Catch up.
Just catch up, yeah.
No relish or any other stuff.
I really want to feel the authenticity of the scene.
Oh no, no, no.
You have to have a Chicago hot dog.
No, we didn't talk about you don't get you don't get to pick and choose how to eat a Chicago hot dog.
First of all, we didn't talk we we didn't talk about it one way or the other.
So I think I think uh I rule the roost a little bit.
So honestly, I know you don't really want to eat it.
I'm not I'm gonna eat it.
No, I don't want to get it.
It's gonna be f it's gonna be a spectacular Thursday is the day.
Thursday is uh hot dog eating day and we videotape can we videotape it?
Let's videotape the hot dog eating.
Absolutely.
We could all use a little levity.
No, it's not fun being stuck in a plane.
You know, people you don't like for hours.
More funny story.
This is one more funny story, and then I'm gonna stop with my way.
I am glad you stuck up with a little three-year-old kid.
I mean, I don't care how annoying it is.
Leave some it's a little kid that's stuck on a plane for six hours.
Leave that child alone.
That child stop, leave the kid alone.
You know what you do?
You what you maybe if you have something in your your carry on, you give the kid whatever you have in your carry on that the kid may play with for twenty minutes.
Exactly.
That's what you do.
Why not be nice to the kid?
Be nice.
So I'll I'll tell you one I'll tell you one more fun thing.
As everybody races to get on the plane, I never race.
I wait till the end.
Doesn't matter where I'm sitting, I always wait till the end because I can't stand to stand in the middle of the aisle and stare at people.
I think it's really freaking weird.
So I wait.
So I wait to get on the plane.
The woman is in the end of the row.
Okay.
So I come up and go, Oh, hi, how are you?
I'm in the middle there.
And she looks at me and she says, Oh, Whoa, you were in the middle seat?
Yeah, it was fun.
So I she moves her legs for me to climb over her.
I say nothing.
I just look at her.
Ma'am.
I'm not really sure what is happening here.
You and I do not know each other.
The idea of straddling you is not something I've really thought about for more than the thirty seconds I'm standing here.
I think we're good.
So then she looks at me and she goes, There's plenty of room.
You can just hop right over.
I'm like, Can I?
Yeah, I don't think so.
I think you need to get up.
She's like, Imagine if you were sitting next to somebody that ate a lot of Chicago hot dogs on each other.
I'll tell you what.
Her and her little Chicago booty needed to move it, and she did.
I was like, What?
In God's great name.
I'm like, lady.
What I do is I stand up, I walk on the aisle and I let the person walk through.
Hello?
That's the way normal people do it.
And I looked at her, I was like, Ma my friend, what is uh listen, you're what you're you're you're welcome to work from home for the rest of the week.
It really are.
There's no reason for you to come.
We'll ship back your bags.
Well, I don't know if they'll ever get there, but we'll we'll try.
Me and Forrest gum, we're walking, man.
Run for us, right.
Uh all right, back to our phones.
Uh Casey is in Utah.
Hey Casey, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
Um, I'm sure the irony is not lost on you or any of your listeners of what Kamala Harris is is trying to do to get elected.
This whole copy and paste, oh, we're gonna fix the border, we're gonna uh not tax, you know, tits and things like that, and she's only parroting what Trump already has a proven track record of doing to try and get elected.
But I think I've figured out why she appeals to her base.
If you transcribe any of her speeches and put it into Chad GPT, she speaks at a third grade reading comprehension level.
And I think that's what they like.
Well, I'll tell you the scary part is the policies not only are radical and extreme, but they're just downright dangerous.
They really are.
And you know, this is now the challenge that we have over, you know, the the rest of the seventy-eight days till election day and twenty-nine days until early voting starts.
And why do I keep saying early voting day?
Why do I keep giving that day?
Because Republicans bank your vote.
I've been saying it for four years.
You cannot start election day down hundreds of thousands of votes.
But you bring up you know, you bring up a great point.
So you know, she will say anything at this point to be president.
They know that they can't win if they run on who they are.
They know that.
Uh, let's go to Jennifer in New York.
Uh the Northeast is representing today in Chicago.
What's up, Jennifer?
How are you?
My old stomping rounds.
I am now completely out of New York.
What's going on?
I know, and I miss you.
Uh it makes me feel so good.
Not but most New Yorkers don't miss me.
I can tell you that.
Well, I do, and I know a lot of other people who do too.
So thank you.
I'm a small business owner.
My family and I own two small restaurants in Rockland County.
Um That's awesome.
What kind of restaurants do you run?
One is a pancake house.
No way.
What yes way.
I was gonna invite you to come and you moved.
Oh man.
I might have to go back and visit one day.
Do you do you serve real natural like maple syrup?
Because that's what I love.
Real buttermilk pancakes, we do have maple syrup.
Um, you know, the natural we have both.
Um thanks to Biden, we got to charge for the maple syrup because I'm willing to pay extra.
It's very expensive.
A bottle is like fourteen dollars at the store.
Well, if we're off the air, I'll give you the name of the place because my husband told me not to.
He doesn't want to go on a list.
I don't blame all right.
Get to your point real quick.
I got about twenty-five seconds, it's all yours.
Okay, so I'm terrified to be honest with you, that Kamala might win and what she'll do to us, just for an example, eggs always cost us over many years, thirty-five to sixty-five dollars a case.
We paid a hundred and thirty-five dollars for a case the other day.
You know, aprons and and napkins and towels.
All these vendors are charging us atrocious prices because they have to.
They're paying the gas to, you know, it's a mess, and I'm terrified of these taxes she's gonna put on us.
We managed to get through COVID barely by the skin of our teeth, and we're pretty busy right now, but we're making less money than we were 15 years ago.
First of all, I'm I'm so sorry.
I I mean, if your husband will let you, you can call us back and we'll give we'll we'll get your number, we'll call you back.
I'd love to promote your business because you're working so hard and and the restaurant business is such a small margin business, especially when there's not alcohol associated with it.
And I just want you to do well because you know, my favorite meal is breakfast.
When I was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen years old, I'd tend bar till four thirty in the morning, and I'd literally would race out and and go to the local diner and I'd get my bacon and my eggs and my hash browns and my pancakes, and I'd I'd I'd feast away and read the local papers, and I I loved it.
So uh if we can, I want to get your number and put it up there, but I hope people are hearing you because this this is this is now life under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, and it'll get worse under her.
God bless you and your business, uh Jennifer.
Appreciate your call.
God bless you.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up with today.
