This is an iHeart podcast.
Happy Friday.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, 53 days until Election Day.
Ballots going out in some cities now as we speak.
Four days until early voting.
That's next week in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Later on, by the way, we will check in with Selena Zito, who will join us, and we'll talk a lot about what's going on there.
I mean, the impact, if Kamala Harris does this, what a lot of people don't know is the liquefied natural gas industry, the Ellen, what they call it, G industry.
If they, we, because of Harris and Biden and their policies and their restrictions on permitting, they have been costing farmers and people in the fracking energy sector of Pennsylvania's economy hundreds of millions of dollars.
And most people in Pennsylvania do not know about it.
And it's a shame because, you know, these energy jobs are really high-paying career energy jobs.
You might think back years ago where there were jobs available when Donald Trump was president, and we were putting company CEOs and others on this program offering, if you were a truck driver in the energy sector in places like North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, and other places, we had people who come on and they had these jobs.
They were offering starting pay of 75, 80 grand a year and all the overtime you can take.
And Donald Trump took the position yesterday, not only no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security.
Now he's saying no taxes on overtime, which would incentivize people to work longer.
By the way, I don't know what an eight-hour day is.
I've never worked an eight-hour shift in my life that I can think of.
Even when I was 12 years old working in the restaurant business, I'd go in at like 5 o'clock in the afternoon after school, and I wouldn't be done till 2, 3 in the morning.
Then I'd have a couple of St. Pauli girls fly home on my bicycle.
It was pretty crazy.
So, you know, I think these are innovative ideas.
Nobody really understands the impact of all of that.
Just like we're not going to know.
It's just going to happen one day when we least expect that the impact of the unvetted Harris Biden illegal immigrants that she wants to decriminalize and give free housing, health care, education, driver's licenses, a path to citizenship, amnesty, to, and of course, I can't forget that she wants to give taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for illegals and for convicts.
We haven't really dug down deeper into her call for federal drug possession being legal for personal use.
That would decriminalize crack, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl.
Why don't you just give somebody a loaded gun and say, here, good luck, because it's a suicide mission anytime you're doing any of these drugs.
You're slowly committing suicide, if not instantaneously, in a lot of examples.
But with this close to an election, and it is even poor, the liberal Joe show, Mika Brzezinski just doesn't understand how undecided voters after the debate this week are leaning towards Donald Trump.
I don't get it, she was saying.
I'll play it later in the program.
And I get it because people are beginning to realize how extreme, radical, and out of touch that she is.
You know, I mean, the fact that Donald Trump is really, if you can get me the thing from last night, that would be great, James.
Thank you.
I actually have it.
I'm going to send it to you right now, if you don't mind.
I like to send things to James while he's here.
There we go.
Last minute prep.
And it is now in your text inbox, Mr. Grisham, who is my, officially, my brother-in-law.
And he feels like he stuck with me.
He told me recently.
He says I'm giving him a hard time about getting in shape.
Did you know that, Linda?
I've been giving him a hard time about getting in shape.
You're a little bit aggressive.
I'm not that aggressive.
What do you mean I'm a little bit aggressive?
You're a little bit aggressive.
I'm not aggressive.
I'm not to him.
I am not.
I'm not aggressive at all.
What are you talking about?
Exactly.
Poor James on the road.
You get a break, but he doesn't.
I mean, it ought to be funny how many days it's going to be until Kamala goes out there.
Now, she's just out on the campaign trail just lying about Donald Trump on a variety of issues.
I mean, the list gets longer and longer and longer.
Now he's saying, Donald Trump wants to take away your Social Security and cut Medicare.
No, he doesn't.
He said just the opposite, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars, even as they pull in record profits.
He will add more than $5 trillion to the national debt.
He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare.
No, he doesn't.
He said repeatedly just the opposite.
More importantly, he didn't do it when he was president.
And if you want to talk about the debt, Harris and Biden have put more than $8 trillion onto the national debt, and they did that.
And by the way, and it's only going to get worse.
In the last six months, we'll have another trillion dollars to the national debt.
He is running Donald Trump against what are vicious institutions that span the Democratic Party, a state-run, corrupt media mob that has given her a pass and has not challenged her on her most radical and extreme positions that we have outlined repeatedly on this program and on TV.
A powerful, deep state of bureaucrats, pretty much in every department of our federal government, a weaponized Department of Justice and big tech that has all these institutions putting their cinder blocks on the scale of an election.
You know, and with all that in mind, this machine is out there, and now they go back to the old Democratic playbook.
Republicans want dirty air and water.
They're racist.
They're sexist.
They're misogynist.
That they are Islamophobic, transphobic, homophobic.
They want to kill grandma and grandpa and take away Social Security and Medicare.
I mean, it doesn't matter that we have picked up at least 25 lies that she told during this debate last night.
And she lied about Charlottesville.
She lied about Trump's role in January 6th, lied about fracking, lied about her support for the Minnesota bail fund, lied about Trump's bloodbath comments on the economy, because that's what they were about, lied about Trump's position on NATO, lied about Donald Trump saying he's going to be a dictator on day one.
He said that to me in an interview with me, meaning that he would immediately reinstate building the border wall and go back to his policies on energy.
He was very specific.
He's lied about his position on NATO, lied about zero troops serving in combat zones, lied about Trump's role in the Biden-Harris administration and their disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, lied about gun confiscation, which she has said numerous times in her own words,
lied about her support for defunding the police, even lied about being middle class when in reality she grew up in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Montreal with two very affluent parents, lied about violent crime, along with her two supporters masquerading as journalists at Disney ABC.
They said, for example, the crime was down.
Well, we have new numbers from the DOJ because she said this during the debate.
And now the Department of Justice comes out with their numbers.
Violent crime is up 37% under the Harris Biden administration.
Under the Harris Biden administration, rape is up 42%.
Robbery up 63%.
Assault up 34%.
Stranger violence up 61%.
Violent crime with a weapon up 63%.
Motor vehicle theft is up 42%.
Kamala lied about, as I said, cutting Social Security and Medicare.
It is a complete falsehood.
But really, the biggest lies that we're now facing in these final days in this campaign are about herself and who she is and everything she has ever stood for.
She was to the left of Bernie.
She still has not been asked these fundamental questions about co-sponsoring the Marxist end of capitalism, Green New Deal, $93 trillion estimated cost, eliminating the filibuster to pass it and government health care for all, including illegal immigrants.
And she's lied about that.
She's lied about the border's secure, the border's closed.
She's lied about inflation being transitory.
He's lied about taxpayer-funded housing and health care.
How is she never asked about sex change operations that she supports for illegal immigrants and for convicted felons?
How does she get away with lying about defunding, dismantling the police and ICE and helping to put violent criminals back on the streets with no bail?
And her very, very, you know, transparent tweet supporting the Minneapolis bail fund during the insurrection summer, the rioting summer, not the summer of love in 2020, and her statement that they're not going to stop, we're not going to stop, and they shouldn't stop.
You know, she is somebody that is now being told by the likes of somebody, a powerful congressman from South Carolina, James Clydeburn, not to do any more interviews.
You could make a mistake.
Don't do an interview.
I think that just to say one-on-one discussions with people in the media, we'll not necessarily connect with the voters.
I want to see her connecting with voters, responding to their dreams and their aspirations.
Because, you know, if you go on these one-on-ones, sometimes you build down into a question until there's a word that's uttered that can be used in a negative way.
So don't do any interviews.
Donald Trump just finished an hour-long press conference.
But really, the big reveal is stating that what we all knew came from Bernie Sanders this weekend when he said, oh, I don't believe for a second she's changed her position.
She's just being pragmatic to win an election.
That's pretty revealing.
Listen.
You have described Vice President Kamala Harris as a progressive.
She has previously supported Medicare for all.
Now she does not.
She's previously supported a ban on fracking.
Now she does not.
These, Senator, are ideas that you have campaigned on.
Do you think that she is abandoning her progressive ideals?
No, I don't think she's abandoning her ideals.
I think she's trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.
I just think she's saying whatever she needs to say to win an election, the quiet part out loud.
You know, but the moment she was elevated to being the Democratic nominee at that point in time, every position that is extreme and radical and dangerous to our country, every single one of them, she flipped, she flopped, she failed.
She did not change her views.
And, you know, this is where the malpractice comes in.
This is where this is where the media does the most amount of damage.
This is where it's such a disservice to the American people.
Do you think Donald Trump doesn't answer questions?
He's just spent an hour answering questions from a hostile media.
Kamala didn't change her views.
She's lying to get elected.
Bernie Sanders is right.
You know, she didn't give a straight answer, one answer, ducking, dodging, weaving, you know, with the help of two very frankly dishonest, corrupt, and abusively biased ABC Disney moderators.
I think if I ever go to it, do you ever go to amusement parks?
Does Liam make you go take them to like amusement parks, Linda?
Honestly, all the kids love amusement parks.
Okay.
Where do you take them?
Let me guess, Hershey Park.
No, we typically do six flags and then we do a lot of stuff down the shore.
My son loves six flags the most because he loved the craziest roller coasters in the world.
Yeah.
I mean, he was like a roller coaster nut.
I mean, I'm lucky.
Only my daughter likes the roller coasters.
The other three, well, I guess two of them like them and two of them don't.
We need to go through the cost of what it costs and what options are available for people if they want to not spend all the money at Disneyland or Disney World.
I'll never take my kids to Disney.
In fact, their high school has a trip to Disney.
We don't let them go.
Oh my gosh, you're so hardcore.
Hell no.
You are not going to that place.
You're not going to.
Look up the price of admission.
What it costs now.
If you want to stay at one of the hotels, like the Grand Floridian or the Animal Kingdom or whatever, it is so expensive.
I mean, families spend years and years saving up because their kids want to go there, but there's so many better options out there.
Let's see.
Disney World four-day, four-park magic ticket from $99 per day plus tax, total of $396 plus tax.
Okay, $400 a person.
And let's say it's a family of four.
Four days, four parks, $99 a day.
Right, that doesn't afford food.
It doesn't include food or lodging or transportation to get there.
That's correct.
Who the hell needs to be?
Who can afford it?
You can't, not with Harris and Biden.
$800.
No wonder what their stock is tanking.
Have you noticed that?
It's really awful.
All right, $800.
This is a pretty interesting poll that's out.
By the way, let me just start with.
I know a lot of people are like, well, why doesn't Donald Trump want to debate?
Because Kamala Harris is not going to want to debate.
There's never been, you had the commission on presidential debates for years and years and years, and frankly, there were many flaws and faults with that system, too.
But you did have some more structure than you have now.
When Joe Biden went out there, make my day, let's have debates, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That was fine.
But Donald Trump then got hit with, but you're going to abide by our rules.
And I'm only offering three different venues, all liberal left-wing venues to do the debate on.
And I'll be honest, I never thought after all the criticisms, opinions, comments that Dana Bash had stated about Donald Trump and fake Jake had stated about Donald Trump over the years that they would be fair and they ended up being fair.
And I did give them credit for it, but I didn't expect it.
ABC is far worse.
I mean, I haven't even spent the time because they're not worthy of the time.
ABC Disney is by far the most radically left network in the country.
And frankly, they're unwatchable.
There's no show that I see that ABC puts on now that is even watchable.
I mean, it's just awful.
And, you know, ABC Disney now sees their stock prices.
They've been tanking for a while.
And, you know, what is the saying?
Go woke, go broke.
They clearly have a political agenda.
And I think that America saw that on full display.
And people say, well, why doesn't Donald Trump debate Kamala Harris on Fox?
Because she won't go on Fox.
Every rule, every debate moderator that was all imposed on Trump, be it the CNN debate, the Disney-ABC debate, they were all imposed on Trump with little to zero input.
The only thing that ABC Disney did do is at the last minute, when Kamala Harris was insisting on rules changes after she agreed to the rules, they did say, no, we've already agreed.
This is over.
And then we read, you know, today, for example, I was a little surprised to read that Kamala Harris and Lindsey Davis were in the same sorority.
Well, maybe they should have told us that ahead of time.
Give us a little bit of a heads up on that.
Or that, you know, I guess the heir apparent at Disney, is that true, Linda, that the heir apparent or seemingly heir apparent to Iger introduced Kamala to her husband.
Is that true?
Big Democratic supporter?
That is true.
Yeah, okay.
So, and the New York Post had today that ABC moderator Lindsey Davis, who slammed, has been slammed by conservatives, they didn't fact check Kamala once.
And she told numerous lies.
We've gone over a lot of them so far, but I'm not going to repeat myself.
But she fought back against the president's claims that doctors were discussing aborting babies after birth.
Now, he was very specific in referring to the comment of former Governor Northram of Virginia that made, well, first the baby's going to be born and we'll make the baby comfortable.
Then there'll be a conversation with the doctor and so on and so forth.
Anyway, now it's come to light that both were members of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
Well, I think that's the kind of thing that you might want to reveal, according to the New York Post.
I did find justthews.com, Mark Penn, who was Bill Clinton's top pollster.
And we do know that Mark Penn had said, you know, as an advisor, he said yesterday for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into their news division and their planning and execution of this week's presidential debate to determine if there was some effort to rig the outcome of it.
He said, actually, I think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm.
I just don't know how much of this was planned in advance.
Why would they just fact-check one person and not the other person?
That's a fair question.
But, you know, we'll wait and see what happens.
There has been rumors out there.
ABC has denied it and claims by some, quote, whistleblower about the debate and whether or not questions were shared in advance.
They absolutely positively deny it.
There's been nobody that has come forward just to make sure everybody gets the true news.
I mean, a lot of things you got to be careful of when you're reading the internet.
Linda, how much vetting do we do on this program when we see things?
And I'm like, okay, look, is it true?
We don't know.
We have to investigate.
And it just, it makes our job harder, by the way.
AI has made our job harder also to make sure that we try to get things right, which is a big part of the plan for this show.
We want to give you the right, accurate information.
If it were true and we found out it was true, of course we would tell you.
But anyway, Trump has expanded his lead over Harris in the latest Rasmussen survey.
The Cook Report is now forecasting that Republicans will win the Senate majority, and they have moved the Montana Senate race, a matchup between Democratic incumbent John Tester and Republican challenger Tim Sheehee from POS-UP to lean Republican.
This puts the Republicans in an even stronger position to win back control of the Senate.
I'm not sure why Moreno is not doing a little bit better in Ohio.
I think that is, again, Sherrod Brown.
I think that's a winnable seat in Ohio.
I got to check in with Sean Hannity, you're a great American.
God bless you.
God bless America.
I want a full report.
We've got to check in with Willie Cunningham and see what's actually going on there.
The seat vacated by Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in West Virginia is all but certainly flipping to the GOP, which would create, which would mean that the majority would be dependent on who becomes vice president, but certainly a majority would be ideal and not just have a 50-50 split.
I would prefer it be 52 or 53.
I think there are races out there that are more winnable.
I wish Carrie Lake was pulling a little bit better in Arizona.
I think she'd be a good senator for the people of Arizona.
I think she would fight like hell for the people of Arizona and fight for the borders, which should be a big issue for the people out in Arizona.
Love the people out in Arizona.
It's a great state, great people.
My only worry about Arizona is they have too many Californians that have abandoned California.
And unfortunately, many of them brought their liberal policies with them.
There is a plan.
New York City Democrats are now considering a plan to force residents to pay slavery reparations.
This is now, I mean, you're going to start seeing a series of legislation that is going to be passed in these deep blue states that are making those states even more unlivable.
And among them, you're going to see, for example, they're pushing this exit tax.
If, God forbid, you leave a state like New York or a state like California or New Jersey or Illinois.
You know, states are proposing, well, if you leave the state, you still got to pay us income taxes for 10 years.
I'm like, well, if you're not a resident, why would you pay state income taxes?
Thankfully, I got out before that happened.
I could see a wealth tax in these states.
They put massive sales of high-end property in a very high-tax bracket for people in California.
They're doing the same thing in New York City.
I mean, literally, they're just taking the gold out of people's teeth.
But what they're doing is they're pushing people out of those states.
One of the great fears that you have to look at, God forbid Kamala Harris's plan for a corporate minimum tax took place and an unrealized capital gains tax took place.
It would eliminate all investment in the country.
And let me tell you why that's extremely dangerous.
One thing that I've learned about rich people that I've met in my life, they don't get rich by being stupid.
And the reason you've seen a mass exodus out of these high-tax blue states by people is because they want to save more of their money and they want a more business-friendly environment with far less regulation.
That's why New York has seen a mass exodus.
New Jersey has seen it.
Illinois has seen it.
California has seen it.
And, okay, those states get bluer and bluer and bluer.
I got it.
I get it.
I understand it.
Now the question is: you know, what do people do if you have an unrealized capital gains tax and you double the top marginal tax rate and you double the capital gains tax?
Well, what does that mean?
If you go from 20% to 44% when you include Medicare increases as well, and you have unrealized capital gains, most people that invest, their money is not, oh, let me just take it out of the bank.
Most of their money is put in investments.
What do those investments do?
If they invest in building a business or building property or building whatever they're building, the money is directed in that area.
It's not like they could all of a sudden, well, okay, we value this property at 30% higher than when you bought it.
You got to pay an unrealized capital gains tax on that.
Well, where are they going to get the money to pay for that?
And what the danger is, is that people that would leave blue states, now they're going to think about leaving the United States.
And if you think I'm crazy or kidding, I'm not because they're just not going to feel like this is a country that has favorable investment opportunities.
Mark Cuban, of all people, I don't know why he's supporting Kamala Harris, has even said this tax on unrealized capital gains will just tank the entire market.
I would argue that would lead to a depression, just like the Green New Deal would.
It's very dangerous.
American community survey shows a record size and growth in foreign-born population in 2023.
A Venezuelan gang is expanding its deadly reach into the U.S. and is suspected in 100 U.S. cases.
Texas is seeing an increase in this violent gang.
We have this issue about Haitian refugees in Ohio that is really real.
One lawmaker says they don't understand the laws amid a fatal wreck and cultural clashes.
That's Springfield, Ohio.
Residents are detailing what they're calling a dystopian nightmare.
The governor DeWine has stepped in with, I think, $2.5 million to help deal with what's going on in that town.
And the influx of Haitian immigrants are turning the streets in Springfield, according to one report, into a combat zone.
Eight to 10 accidents a day are going on.
And that's pretty scary.
By the way, you know, Kamala co-sponsored a Senate bill to study plans to compel Americans to pay reparations for slavery.
I didn't know about that until today, too.
That was in the Washington Examiner.
2019, I think there has to be some form of reparations.
We can discuss what that is.
I didn't have the exact same thing.
It was very interesting to watch Michelle Obama will not be hitting the campaign trail for Harris.
The former first lady who did speak for her in Chicago has not expected a campaign, instead, sticking with her officially nonpartisan voter registration efforts.
I'm sure that's a disappointment.
I'm sure there'll be other celebrities now coming out of the woodwork as needed with their endorsements, etc.
We have a report.
You know, nobody's really paid attention to what I mentioned earlier, her vision for full drug decriminalizations for personal use.
You know, if you look at the price in the seven states, swing states, what you're paying, what you were paying in 2021 when Trump had just left office and what you're paying today, it's an average of $12,000 to $14,000 more than what you were paying before.
In Minnesota, five male convicts have now been transferred to a female prison.
You know, Harris has demanded the intelligence community investigate, have an investigation into the use of gender-biased language.
I mean, this is going to be a very different America in four years if Kamala Harris was ever elected president.
You know, she's now being pressed by some allies to do interviews.
I don't think you can hide for 50, you know, four more days, but it's been 54 days and she's not done a formal press conference.
Why is the media letting them get away with this?
Walls, you mess with cap people and you'll find out.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
We have people being murdered and raped, and we have gangs in this country.
We have billions and billions of dollars in costs, and we want to give free sex change surgeries to illegal immigrants and convicted felons and housing and health care and education and amnesty.
How is that not a bigger issue?
I don't know.
You get to decide.
