The economic news is telling a story of increased inflation and higher costs for everything. The Feds have been cutting interest rates to inflate the Biden/Harris administration and try and make it seem like the economy is stronger than it is... but it's not.

| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| All right. | |
| Thank you, Scott Channing, and thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Write down our toll-free telephone number you want to be a part of the program is 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you'd like to join us, we'd love for you to join us if you can. | |
| Uh we are 25 days away from an inflection point for this country. | |
| If the radicalism, the extremism of Kamala Harris is implemented, I don't know how we ever recover. | |
| And the list of stated positions is chilly. | |
| Now we have put up on Hannity.com as a public service. | |
| If you haven't registered to vote, how to register in your state, when early voting starts, it's going on now in a lot of states around the country, and when early voting ends. | |
| And I hope people are paying attention. | |
| I hope people have been hearing me as I go through, and I have played repeatedly, and this is what frustrates me the most, and this is what we got into yesterday with the 60 minutes issue. | |
| You know, I hope people are hearing me when I lay out what is the most radical stated positions of any presidential candidate in the history of this country. | |
| You know, uh Kamala Harris has never been asked if she still supports no restrictions on abortion, even in months seven, eight, and nine. | |
| She just never answers. | |
| Never they don't ask. | |
| Nobody's ever asked if she still supports her mandatory gun buyback program. | |
| We'll talk about that with John Law later in the program, which is also known as confiscation. | |
| Nobody is asked if she still thinks the border wall is a medieval vanity project as she once characterized it. | |
| She's not been asked about why she wants to decriminalize the illegal immigration when obviously we have laws and borders and sovereignty. | |
| She has not been asked if she still supports federal funding of food, housing, health care, education, legal driver's licenses, free college tuition, sex change operations for illegal immigrants, and a earned pathway to citizenship, in other words, amnesty. | |
| He's never had to answer the question, and we're 25 days from election day, and people are voting now. | |
| He's never had to explain if she still supports reparations, which she is on tape saying. | |
| He's never had to explain why she wanted to ban plastic straws or reduce the consumption of red meat, which is basically my diet. | |
| You know, she has yet to explain why she co-sponsored the radical, the Marxist Green New Deal, $93 trillion with Bernie Sanders, and that she'd eliminate the filibuster to pass it. | |
| That would eliminate capitalism as we know it. | |
| You know, she still has never been asked why she co-sponsored with Bernie Government Health Care for All and the elimination of private health insurance. | |
| He'd never had to explain why. | |
| You know, why she thinks the high cost of energy, that is in part because of her policies of not wanting fracking and drilling, you know, is just the cost of democracy. | |
| Pretty flippant view for Americans that have been suffering under Harris Biden inflation. | |
| She's not had to explain why she thinks it's courageous not to say the words radical Islamic terrorism or illegal immigrant or legal alien to be official. | |
| You know, she said she was going to address inflation on day one, illegal immigration on day one. | |
| Well, day one was January twentieth, twenty twenty-one. | |
| Now she was proposing price controls. | |
| She's never been asked how that's going to work or whether or not corporations really pay taxes because she wants to raise taxes on small businesses, corporations, estate taxes, capital gains taxes, unrealized capital gains taxes. | |
| How the hell is that going to work? | |
| I mean, not only would people start leaving states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California, they'd start leaving the country. | |
| Because there's no way you can make money. | |
| And people are not going to go bankrupt just because she has this belief in socialism. | |
| She's not had to explain student loan forgiveness for for these, you know, Ivy League school brats, you know, some of which are protesting against Israel and are pro Hamas. | |
| Why should taxpayers pay for that when they sign for the loan? | |
| You know, why is why why did I have to pay laid down my own down payment and work hard and save money to buy my first home? | |
| And now she wants $25,000 just, you know, even though we have a $40 trillion deficit or debt, you know, for new time homebuyers, or $50,000 for you know small businesses. | |
| Where's all this money going to come from? | |
| Where's the $93 trillion for the Green New Deal going to come from? | |
| You know, she's never had to explain why she said she's proud to be the last person in the room and was proud to be the last person in the room when Joe and she authorized the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that killed 13 Americans, and that resulted in the abandonment of hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines and our allies behind enemy lines. | |
| He has yet to explain her stated position to defund, dismantle, and reimagine the police and reimagine ICE. | |
| You know, she's not had to not been asked if she stands behind her bail fund that she promoted four days after a minute, Minnesota police precinct was burned to the ground by violent rioters in the summer of love in 2020. | |
| 574 riots, dozens of dead Americans. | |
| We had that we had thousands of cops injured with bricks and rocks and bottles and Molotov cocktails, billions and billions in property damage, and she tweets out a bail fund four days after a police precinct is burned to the ground in Minnesota. | |
| And then does she stand behind her statement in the summer of 2020 that the writers won't stop writing? | |
| The writer shouldn't stop writing, and she won't stop supporting them. | |
| Why isn't anyone asked that question? | |
| She's on tape saying that 18 to 24 year olds are stupid. | |
| Well, the only thing stupid about any 18 or 24 year old would be to vote for somebody who calls you stupid. | |
| You know, she've been saying for years inflation is transitory. | |
| New numbers out yesterday show the exact opposite to be true. | |
| As inflation went up 3.3% year over year. | |
| Oopsie Daisy. | |
| You know, why did she tell us for three years that the border's secure, the borders secure? | |
| Why haven't you been to the border? | |
| Well, I haven't been to Europe either. | |
| Hadn't had to answer that question. | |
| You know, she said just in August of 2023 that it's called bidonomics, and we're proud of it. | |
| Now she's saying that she's, you know, inflation is real, and people are having a hard time at the grocery store. | |
| I'm like, they've had the whole hard time the whole time you've been vice president. | |
| What are you talking about? | |
| You know, she's not been asked if she stand by stands by her beliefs that Americans need to stay woke. | |
| Or that she supports and thinks AOC's proposed 70 to 80% tax rate. | |
| Well, that's fantastic idea she's bringing up. | |
| You know, she's never said she would deport any people that don't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty. | |
| But she's, you know, unburdened by what has been. | |
| He hasn't had to answer for her vice president, offering free legal driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and college education to illegal immigrants, or feminine hygiene products that signed a bill to put them in boys' bathrooms, or as radical views on abortion with no restrictions at all. | |
| You know, all we got this week is what did we learn this week that she likes Raisin Brand but doesn't eat it every day in a hard-hitting interview with someone that used to be known as Howard Stern, and that she likes Miller Light as she goes on Stephen Colbert and sipping tea with the ladies of the view, or going on the Call Me Daddy podcast and getting hard-hitting questions there. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Now now apparently she's worried because you have top Democratic politicians. | |
| You have operatives, Mark Howper in this week, James Carville this week. | |
| They're nervous as hell. | |
| And polls are showing that Donald Trump, and I'll go through some of them in this hour, is now beginning to take a lead in almost all of the swing states. | |
| Because in some in some of these cases, it's a one-point lead. | |
| That's not a big lead. | |
| And we don't know what's going to happen in terms of who shows up on election day. | |
| I hope Republicans will overcome their reluctance, their resistance to vote early and vote by mail. | |
| But internal polls obviously have pushing Kamala out. | |
| And the big push is, well, up until I guess the news on the economy economy came out this week. | |
| I guess the big news was uh that that Kamala was going to make her closing argument about the economy, but new inflation is surging. | |
| We had this, you know, new report on unemployment claims, you know, unexpectedly at a 14 month high. | |
| Inflation came in hotter than expected, 3.3% versus a year ago. | |
| That's core inflation. | |
| The Metro closely watched by economists that excludes the volatile costs of food and energy. | |
| You know, that's versus a year ago ahead of what economists were predicting. | |
| Lar Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury Secretary during the Clinton administration said last week the Fed made a mistake by cutting interest rates last month. | |
| They did it 50 basis points to help Kamala Harris and make it seem like something was happening that's not happening. | |
| And now she's worried, and by the way, not for bad reason, and I'll get to this at some point this hour. | |
| We have another poll, Washington Post, finding that 24% of African American voters in this state of Ohio, for example, in the state of Ohio, favor former President Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. | |
| And then Barack Obama went out campaigning on her behalf yesterday, didn't seem too thrilled about it, and he seems to see that Kamala's not connecting with a lot of a lot of the coalition that supported him back in the day. | |
| Well, I I mean you can say this. | |
| She's no but Barack Obama in terms of an ability to connect with a crowd, and she doesn't answer questions, and she's hiding doing the equivalent of hiding in her basement. | |
| You know, uh we are living in really difficult times. | |
| When I say this is an inflection point for the country, after four years of a disaster at the border, after the insanity of proposing defund dismantle no bail laws, and and the resulting rise dramatically in the crime rate in spite of their proclamations that are false. | |
| You know, to see the economy and inflation stubbornly hurting families, families now sixty-six percent, according to one poll, show Americans engulfing water. | |
| Twenty-five percent of Americans in the last year didn't have enough food to put on their table. | |
| This shouldn't happen. | |
| You know, to be lectured that paying, you know, a dollar plus more per gallon for gasoline is the cost of democracy, to seeing the world deteriorate around us because they don't have a clue how to stand up to the radical imams and mullahs in Iran and and stop the unrelenting attacks against Israel that is now fighting a forefront war mostly on their own because America's abandoned them, | |
| to watch China on the move and Russia on the move and war in Europe and war in the Middle East, and then to have somebody who, based on their own words and their own statements and their own positions is even more radical than Joe, although she says she wouldn't do anything differently than Joe. | |
| Well, actually she would if if you believe her past position, she would go hardcore left of Joe. | |
| And how's that been working out for everybody? | |
| Hasn't been working out for anybody that I know. | |
| And the reason the people are pulling back and the polls are not moving in her direction, And Democrats are in a panic is because she can't do a real interview. | |
| She can't answer the questions that I just raised to you about her own stated positions. | |
| So she's got to talk about Raisin Brad and and she's got to, you know, go on a podcast she's not going to get a hard question on and talk to the ladies of the view that are supporting her and crack a beer with with Stephen Colbert because people won't ask the real questions. | |
| As we roll along 800 941 Sean's on number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| You know, we have an Afghan accused of plotting a terror attack. | |
| Uh now we're learning they may have worked for the CIA. | |
| Mayorcus was asked by Jackie Heinrich, I'll play it later in the program today. | |
| Um about this. | |
| Did no I don't want to talk to you about it now. | |
| Well, that's your job. | |
| I want to talk to you about immediate disaster relief. | |
| Well, immediate would have been two weeks ago in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida. | |
| They're a little late to the game. | |
| On top of him announcing that they're running out of money, and that we discovered that the FEMA funds were rated to help pay for Harris Biden unvetted illegal immigrants. | |
| It is interesting this phenomenon. | |
| Well, let's bring in Barack Obama. | |
| Now there's a video, and we had this on TV last night of Barack Obama. | |
| He did not look happy being there. | |
| Now, as he did seem to enjoy bashing Trump. | |
| He likes that part, which is fine, which I would fully expect. | |
| But it doesn't seem that he's enjoying himself having to go in, quote, for the save for Kamala Harris. | |
| Uh he's I'm sure deep in his mind, he understands she's over, he's just not ready for this job. | |
| Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day. | |
| All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, you know, I've had an opportunity to spend going over GovX.com, G O V X.com because Sweet Baby James is now one of about ten million members because he served in the Navy for a number of years. | |
| And anyway, it's a free service, a free membership, and it's a service designed as a benefit for people that have served their community and their countries. | |
| For example, if you serve or served in the military or serve or served in in law enforcement, uh same thing first responders, teachers, etc., you can become a member of GovX.com. | |
| Now they did offer me an honorary membership, and I looked at it when Sweet Baby James, you know, qual he qualified for because he served, I just didn't feel deserving of it. | |
| And then I started looking at everything that he all the discounts he's getting, and I got very, very jealous very fast. | |
| The best part is if you have served or you serve your community or your country, it's absolutely free. | |
| And things that you're gonna buy anyway, you get massive discounts on. | |
| You can get up to 40% off Ray Bans, Oakley's, Yeti, North Face, a ton more. | |
| And anyway, they have 40% off amazing vacations. | |
| Uh, for example, a thousand bucks you can get up to a thousand bucks off on cruises, like uh the ones that have unlimited open bars and specialty dining with Norwegian cruise lines. | |
| Uh a lot of people taking advantage of that deal. | |
| I mean, that's real money in your pocket for you and your family to have a great vacation. | |
| Anyway, if you know somebody that would qualify or you qualify, you don't pay a penny to join, there's no membership fee. | |
| It's absolutely free, and there are 10 million members that are saving millions of dollars every month. | |

| It's govx.com. | |
| That's G O V X dot com and use the promo code Sean S-E-A-N, and then they'll give you 15 bucks for your first purchase on top of everything else. | |
| It's pretty amazing. | |
| Uh anyway, so uh Barack Obama uh was called into Pennsylvania yesterday. | |
| And if you look at the video of me, I'll show it again on TV tonight. | |
| He doesn't look too happy that he that he's being called in. | |
| And he's he's kind of aged a lot since the last I saw him. | |
| At least he looked older, even than when I saw him at the Democratic National Convention. | |
| I was there when he spoke. | |
| Um, But as he's walking in, I want you to listen to what he had to say, because he's you know, I I never like the fact that every poll is broken down demographically. | |
| I don't like the fact that I I don't like identity politics. | |
| I think good policies are good politics, good economic policies help all Americans. | |
| They just do. | |
| And and good if you have good law and order, that helps everybody. | |
| If you have a good educational system, everybody benefits. | |
| You know, there if you have low energy prices, everybody benefits. | |
| You have low interest rates, everybody benefits. | |
| You have low inflation, everybody benefits. | |
| But it's not the way politics works. | |
| But anyway, here's uh here's uh former President Obama kind of like scolding people for not supporting Kamala Harris and supporting Donald Trump. | |
| We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods that's a good resistance of now. | |
| I also want to say that it seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. | |
| So he says, My understanding based on reports I'm getting from campaigns and communities is that we've not yet seen the same kind of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities, and we saw when I was running. | |
| And Obama said this that it seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. | |
| Those are his words. | |
| And anyway, Obama questioned how voters and and African Americans specifically could be on the fence about whether to support Kamala Harris or former President Trump. | |
| On the one hand, you have someone who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and the pain and the joy that comes from those experiences. | |
| You know, ticking off a list of Harris, you know, policy proposals. | |
| By the way, Donald Trump had an interesting response to it, and he said on Friday that he thinks that Obama will vote for him instead of Harris. | |
| He said Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with black men. | |
| I think that Obama will be voting for me because he doesn't like the fact that Kamala is an extremely low IQ person. | |
| You just know that this irritates the hell out of Democrats, and for kicks and giggles, it makes it fun. | |
| Now, I guess uh she's gonna do a town hall in Detroit or I guess a podcast town hall with uh Charlemagne, uh the God. | |
| Remember we went up to see Charlemagne studio uh it was in the same building when when I used to live in New York, uh, Linda. | |
| Were you with us that day when Jim Kerr took us up there? | |
| Yeah. | |
| You've seen it before. | |
| I have, yeah. | |
| And and and describe the chair. | |
| It's like a king's throne, right? | |
| I mean, the cool thing about Charlotte, I mean, listen, I like Charlamagne. | |
| I see him in the morning when I come in, and um he's a nice guy. | |
| I don't agree with everything he says, but I do agree with a lot of what he says. | |
| He's kind of a middle of the road kind of guy. | |
| He actually just had Byron Donald's on his show, too. | |
| Um, which was interesting. | |
| But um it's a big purple chair, it's ginormous. | |
| No, I mean, but it's like uh a kid like the throne chair. | |
| It's not like a chair. | |
| It's a throne. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, it's pretty funny. | |
| Let me see if I can help educate Barack Obama and and explain to people because people are going to vote in what's uh their best interest. | |
| At the end of the day, you can play identity politics to a point, and maybe there are some people that will buy into this, but I mean, this is the old playbook of Democrats that every two and four years they claim Republicans are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and Islamophobic and now transphobic, | |
| and they want dirty air and water, and they don't care about the environment, and they want grandma and grandpa to eat dog food and cat food, and and you know, some nasty rascally Republican will come along when they're in a wheelchair and throw them over a cliff and kill them. | |
| It's all a lie. | |
| And so Obama, you know, uh at one point even brought up the issue of sexism as to why African American males, which I felt was pretty insulting, and it was interesting, it was in Pennsylvania, where he once claimed there are people in Pennsylvania that are bitter that cling to their godguns, Bibles, and religion, but you know, why go back to that point? | |
| Anyway, he says you're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses for not voting for Kamala Harris. | |
| I got a problem with that, he said. | |
| And I'm speaking to men directly. | |
| And part of it makes me think that, well, that you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you're coming up with other alternatives or other reasons for that. | |
| Um, let me help Barack out here. | |
| No, people are going to vote for their best interests, and this transcends race. | |
| And a far more powerful motivator, I would suggest behind both African American Hispanic American support for Donald Trump is the fact that both groups were doing a hell of a lot better in their own lives economically when Trump was president. | |
| Now, I I digress for a second here. | |
| In all of these cities and all of these towns, you know, you can start with New York and Chicago and work your way around the country, predominantly minority neighborhoods that have been run for by Democrats for decades. | |
| Generally speaking, you know, how is safety, how is security, you know, how is law and order in those towns and cities? | |
| Usually not too good. | |
| How are their school systems doing? | |
| Are they outperforming the rest of the state or the rest of the country? | |
| Or do we find in inner cities in America inferior schools? | |
| Usually the latter. | |
| In other words, the ladder to success education has been withheld by the very people that claim they have a monopoly of compassion for minorities. | |
| So the real reason is that if you look at Donald Trump's first three years prior to the pandemic, the economic benefits were widespread. | |
| Now, this is an article I found in Fox Business from September of 2020, and it was written by Andrew Husder. | |
| guess he's an economist or somebody and this is what he pointed out and i remember talking about remember at the time donald trump had said record low after record low after record low unemployment for african americans for hispanic americans for asian americans for women in the workplace and african-american youth unemployment anyway | |
| went back and it says as was the case throughout donald trump's first three years the economic benefits quote were widespread the overall growth rate was 6.8 percent real median income grew by an even greater 7.9 percent for african americans 7.1 percent for hispanic americans 10.6 percent for asian americans all record highs as for the new income levels for each | |
| of these demographic groups and as for talking points about how the trump tax cuts benefited only the rich Well, they were false. | |
| Because as incomes grew in 2019, the poverty rate plummeted 1.3 percentage points to a 60-year low of 10.5%. | |
| That was the largest reduction in poverty in over 50 years. | |
| It lifted over 4.1 million people out of poverty. | |
| It was the largest yearly decrease since 1966. | |
| And, you know, just for comparative purposes, over the Obama-Biden era, the number of people living in prop poverty went up by nearly a million, 787,000. | |
| And minority groups again experienced the largest improvements. | |
| While the overall poverty rate declined 1.3 percentage points, African American poverty fell by two percentage points. | |
| Hispanic poverty fell by 1.8, Asian American poverty fell by 2.8. | |
| So it's, you know, I don't know why people think if you're a certain of background, race, religion, demographic, sex, whatever it happens to be, if you're playing identity politics, that that somehow is going to, you know, automatically cause you to vote for a Democrat. | |
| When in reality, ask yourself some simple questions. | |
| These are not complicated questions. | |
| You know, were you better off than you were four years ago? | |
| Was the economy better off? | |
| You were you better off with inflation? | |
| Were you better off with interest rates? | |
| Inflation just went up another 3.3% year over year this past month. | |
| You know, even Lawrence Summers is saying that the Fed shouldn't have cut the the interest rates 50 basis points because the economy hasn't recovered in spite of it us being told it's transitory. | |
| All of these things matter. | |
| All these things. | |
| Are the borders more safe and secure? | |
| Is that is that question a joke? | |
| Is there more law and order with this mentality of Kamala and company of defundism, no bail laws, tweeting out bail funds after police precincts are burned to the ground and saying rioters aren't going to stop rioting and shouldn't stop writing? | |
| And that she's not going to start supporting them. | |
| You know, are you are you better off when you go to the gas pump? | |
| Are you better off when you go to the grocery store? | |
| I do my own grocery shopping. | |
| And I'm going to tell you something, it just annoys the hell out of me. | |
| Now I could afford my groceries at this point in my life, but I still have the mindset in my early adult life when I really, you know, had to struggle to pay rent and struggle in terms of what I could buy. | |
| And, you know, usually it was like the cheapest ground beef you can get, a couple of onions, celery, and some green peppers, and just throw it together with a couple of eggs and milk and the key to a good meatloaf, by the way, is moisture and ketchup. | |
| And that was like I'd make the biggest one I could possibly make, and that was pretty much my food for the week. | |
| That was it. | |
| And I did that for years. | |
| And I was, by the way, I was happy. | |
| I never felt poor. | |
| I'd never, you know, I always got my rent paid somehow. | |
| I pulled it off. | |
| But um, you know, what measure tell me by what measure of your life, regardless of what sex you may happen to be, what your gender identity may happen to be, what race you may happen to be. | |
| Tell me where you're better off and where the country's better off. | |
| Because I don't see it. | |
| Now I know they're in a full-fledged panic, and we have more polls out today. | |
| And, you know, the one measure that keeps coming up again and again and again is that people don't think that they're better off than they were four years ago. | |
| You know, if you look at the the latest polls, they're close. | |
| But Donald Trump is has closed the gap. | |
| He's up in Georgia, up in Arizona. | |
| He's tied in Michigan 4949. | |
| He's up in Nevada. | |
| North Carolina, he's up by one. | |
| Tied in Wisconsin, up by one or two, depending on which poll you're looking at in Pennsylvania. | |
| So they're scared to death. | |
| And for people that supposedly have a monopoly of compassion for people, this was the worst disaster relief I we've ever seen in the history of our country. | |
| The people in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, were just that flat out abandoned. | |
| And then we were just flat out lied to. | |
| And now we're getting lectured that we shouldn't be critical of the horrific response to Hurricane Helene in these states. | |
| And it's just we're so much better than this. | |
| Then we have to hear from our homeland security secretary that hurricane funds are running out, and then we learn from FEMA's website that their top priorities are DEI and climate alarmism, and then we learn that a billion plus dollars was diverted from FEMA to help Harris and Biden unvetted illegal immigrants. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| How do you think that whatever happened to Americans first, America first? | |
| What happened to those principles? | |
| Why don't we put the people in North Carolina ahead of the eight and a half billion? | |
| Why uh at the end of last week they only spent four million dollars on hurricane relief? |
