All right, news roundup and information overload hour toll-free are numbers 800 941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
As I have said many, many times, the radicals that run New York City and places like Los Angeles and Chicago and San Francisco and other places around the country, these deep blue states and cities, uh the most radical people are there.
Now you have, according to Polymarket, as of yesterday, I haven't checked today, uh, seventy-six percent chance that Zoran uh Marxist Mondami is going to be the next mayor of New York City.
Here's Mam Dani explaining why Palestine is part of his politics.
Listen.
This is how we defeat the occupation.
Style.
So the the third holy grail of taboos in American politics, you have socialism, you have Islam, and then you have Palestine.
And you are really going for the trifecta.
Let's go, baby.
Let's go.
Tell me why is Palestine a part of your politics?
When you grow up as someone especially in the third world, you have a very different understanding of the Palestinian struggle.
It is one that is framed in terms of empathy and solidarity.
What part of what happened October 7th?
What part of tens and hundreds of thousands of rockets fired into Israel by enemies in Gaza and Lebanon and the Houthi rebels and the Iranians does he not understand?
October 7th, that would be the equivalent if you extrapolate out the population of Israel, compare it to the U.S. of 40,000 dead Americans in a day.
We lost 2,977 on 911 and 01.
I'm not sure what part of murder and rape and kidnapping and torture and beheading people like uh Marxist Mondani uh don't seem to understand.
Here's Mondani, you know, defending taxing whiter neighborhoods.
We went on your website and realized there's a policy proposal that says your plan, and I'm gonna quote it for folks, is to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.
Explain why you are bringing race into your tax proposal.
That is just an description of what we see right now.
It's not driven by race, it's more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being undertaxed versus overtaxed.
We've seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable.
Then why bring up race if it's not about race?
You're making it about race.
You know, then him saying, clearly, not a capitalist, but a Marxist, uh, that I don't think we should have billionaires.
This is gonna be great for New York City's economy.
Not really.
Uh Florida's gonna see growth like they've never seen before if this guy gets elected.
Listen.
I don't think that we should have billionaires, because frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country.
To each, according to their need, from each according to their ability, and as determined by the big hand of government.
Uh that is by definition, Marxism, communism, statism, call it whatever you want.
Uh and he even went as far as to give the textbook definition, the dictionary definition for socialism, and that is seizing the means of production.
Listen.
We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.
It is very critical for all of us to remember what it is that we are fighting for, and to remember that our agenda is an agenda that must not be dictated by calculus but by conviction.
And what I mean by that is that the many things that we believe, some of them are already popular in this moment right now, right?
If we're talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we're talking about Medicare for all, you know, these are issues which have the groundswell of popular support across this country.
But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in.
Whether it's BDS, right, or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production, um, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment.
End goal to seize the means of production.
Anyway, this is a return appearance.
It's been a while.
Chris Hahn is the host of the ever so popular and growing Chris Hahn show.
Uh and an acolyte disciple of Chucky Schumer.
Uh you miss me.
How are you?
How many affiliates are you up to now?
I do miss you.
Uh I'm on a lot of affiliates right now.
I don't know how many and it's the Chris how about how many?
Is it 10, 20, 30?
It's probably in between twenty and thirty, somewhere like that.
I'm no I'm we're up to we're we're up to about seven sixty or seven seventy, something like that.
Crazy.
You should be hooking your brother up and tagging me onto your shows, man, so that I could uh you know cross endorsement things.
Let me ask you a question.
If I ask you, Chris Hahn, are you against racism, what would you say?
I am a hundred percent against racism.
And you're against anti Semitism?
A hundred percent, right?
I'm half Jewish.
You and I you you and I this may be a rare moment of solidarity.
We get along.
Okay.
Um is it hard to condemn the global antifata?
It is not hard to condemn the global antifada.
First you gotta understand what that means, which I don't know that this 33 year old does I think he does know what it means if you listen to all the other comments that he has made he knows damn well what it means and you know holy war is part of it and it is scary.
Do you think that anyone should promote a policy that taxes one race more than another race?
What do you call what would Chris Hahn call that?
Because I have a word in my mind that I what I if I would isolate out one race over another what would you call that Chris Hahn?
I suggest that a lot of politicians that don't think they're going to win some attention.
Okay.
He he won and he's the poly market has him at 76% chance as of yesterday to win the general what do you call it when you isolate out and want to tax one race higher than another race I think there's an easy word to describe that.
I I would say that that's race taxation, which I don't race based No no no no I think you're I think you're no no you're you're trying to uh you're trying to water it down.
What do you what do you really call it?
Uh I I don't like it is what I call it I could what if a politician said that they want to tax African Americans more than others what would you call that?
Yeah I think we would have the same problem with that.
Everybody is counting out my former radio partner Curtis Sleewa in this election and I think if he tightens it up a little bit it's gonna be a little closer than you think, especially if it's a four person race.
Oh we'll see I mean I would think that Eric Adams and Cuomo who stayed in this would shock I think a lot of people and uh Marxist Mondame Donnie I think uh that that might create a lane for Curtis no doubt about it and I think Curtis Curtis would institute the policies of Rudy when Rudy was married.
Do you agree with that?
I I think some of them and and maybe some of them in a better way.
Curtis is not as dumb as people think he is he's very smart.
I've spent a lot of time nobody thinks Curtis is dumb.
He's been a longtime friend don't say that about my friend.
I he's my friend too I've known him forever and I worked with him for years and I think his policies are a little bit more in line with what traditional New Yorkers think than people think.
And I I think that counting him out at this point in time, especially if Cuomo stays in I think if Cuomo stays in he has a real lane he got 28.5% four years ago Curtis did.
And I know that because I was the first person to talk to him after he lost on the radio and uh and he kept saying that 30 and I reminded him it was 28.5.
Well if he could turn that 28 point five into thirty two percent he could win in a four man race.
If he could turn it to thirty four percent he has a chance in a three man race.
So I think I I totally agree with you and I think that's very very possible even though Democrats outnumber Republicans nine to one there's uh let me ask you the hard question because now I'm gonna go straight to the heart of it.
What is Chucky Schumer and Jerry Nadler and people like that, other prominent New Yorkers um did Chuck Schumer and Gary Nadler did they endorse Mom Donnie?
I didn't see an endorsement.
I think they saw an acknowledgment that he won the the primary and he won the an acknowledgment that he won the primary and he won it in a similar way to Trump won his primary with a populist campaign that was very popular that got a lot of people excited.
It didn't look, you went down a road about statements he made that most people don't know.
Uh and when he campaigned, he campaigned on things like lowering prices.
Sounded a lot like Trump in 2024.
I think that the squishy mission middle voted for Trump because he said he was going to get down prices.
And by the way, he didn't have to give a plan, neither did Trump.
He just wanted people want to know that the person who they're going to vote for cares about the issues they care about and they're going to try to fix it.
And I think he he took on all comers.
He went on a lot of different types of broadcasts.
I think he ran a very successful campaign.
I reached out to people on the Cuomo campaign at the beginning of June saying, what are you guys doing?
You're running Elliott Spitzer's failed comeback for controller campaign, and this guy is coming up on you, and he's going to pass you.
Because he's exciting and young and hip, and you're staying in your you know bunker like Harris did against uh against Trump in 2024, and it just doesn't work.
You got when you're running for public office, you need to appear in public.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back.
Uh Chuck Schumer's former disciple.
Uh our friend Chris Hahn of the Chris Hahn show.
Uh more with him on the other side, then we'll get to your calls coming up.
Straight ahead, 800 941 Sean as we continue.
Chris Hunn is with us, host of his own podcast, and he's on a couple of radio stations around the country.
And uh we appreciate him being back with us, friend of Chuck Schumer.
Do you not think that this is a now a big problem?
Uh, like I know a lot of people in your party have uh they're scratching their heads and they're wondering why they lost in the tw in against Donald Trump, for example, right?
Okay.
Anyway, by the way, Chuck Schumer did call and he did congratulate Mom Donnie uh on social media.
I've known Mom Donnie since we worked together, etc.
etc.
He ran an impressive campaign connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, and opportunity.
Uh where is he where is his criticism about the issues we just discussed?
Why isn't Chuck Schumer?
I'm gonna tell you what the answer is, but I'm not even gonna ask you because you're too close to him and you're not gonna want to hear it.
Chuck Schumer is afraid of Mom Donnie.
He's afraid of AOC.
He has a 17% approval rating, your friend, and AOC would wipe the floor with him, according to recent polls in a primary in New York, and he would lose.
So Chuck Schumer, I don't think likes Mondami in his heart, but doesn't have the courage of his convictions to go out there and say it.
And you're gonna tell me I'm wrong, but you know deep down in your heart I am dead on accurate.
Uh I I think that in a campaign Trump Trump Schumer would be any comer for his wrong.
You're wrong.
Then put your money where your mouth is.
If AOC primaries him, I'll take that bet.
All right, stake dinner, baby.
You're on.
You're about to bigger.
I want it to hurt.
On Long Island, Rothman's.
Uh I don't I don't go back to New York.
I'm not welcome in New York anymore.
That might hurt me.
It won't hurt you.
Well, the thing is, okay, he wants to not only freeze rent and seize buildings if he deems it it necessary, raise property taxes, corporate taxes.
He wants to quote tax the rich at at record levels.
Uh you do you believe in replacing police with social workers?
Because that's what he wants to do.
Do you believe in free buses and and government operated grocery stores?
Do you think that we should have free child care so we can indoctrinate kids but from the moment they're born?
Uh do you think that you know each new parent should get you know a goodie bag with uh with uh resources, diapers, baby wipes?
Yeah, do you think that is what is wrong with giving what is wrong with giving child care to people?
What is wrong with nothing?
Why don't you why don't you why don't you Democrats get together and generously donated if you see a need?
Tax deductions for all sorts of things in this country.
We give break I give I give donations all the time.
I don't talk about it, but if I see somebody in need, I absolutely give them money.
Winners and losers in our tax policy all over the place.
Why can't parents and renters and people that that take the bus, why can't they be winners?
And here's the point you're missing about momdami and about Trump.
They appealed to what people were caring about at the moment, and it still seems to be the affordability issue, which Trump appealed to in 2024.
It's the same campaign.
These are very similar campaigns.
I've compared Mondami favorably to Trump and to Trump's campaign.
This is the future of campaigning with Chuck Schumer and what other traditional Democrats need to understand that going forward, you can't just talk about the policies that you passed and the accomplishments you've had.
Because if that was the case, Cuomo would be running for mayor right now.
You've got a lot of accomplishments in this.
Last question.
Well you got to do you gotta you gotta focus on what people care about at the time, and you gotta say, look, this is what I care about.
All right, so here's where we are.
You're supporting Mom Dami.
You got the squad, you got AOC, you got Grandpa Bernie, you know, and and now you have Democrats on record voting to champion the rights of men to play women's sports in Chuck Schumer's Senate.
Then you had the Senate last night or the early this morning vote for the largest tax increase in history.
They didn't stand up for working men and women and and and uh cut tax on tips in overtime.
Uh they did they allowed the border to be invaded over the last four years, and Democrats lied about it, and that allowed in terrorists and murderers and rapists and cartel and gang members.
Uh you have a party that's against energy dominance, your party that literally allowed our military to be depleted and our strategic oil reserves to be depleted.
I mean, do you not understand why you lost when you had a candidate that wants you know taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals?
I don't think you understand, Sean.
I don't think any of that matters.
Right now you had a party that just voted to take away health insurance for 14 million people.
Not true.
No, no, they put in a work requirement, so you have to tell the truth.
I'll tell you what, stay right there.
I'm gonna I'm gonna hold over Chris Hahn.
This is the biggest opportunity for a real radio audience in his life.
I'm going to give him a chance, and I have one remaining question for you.
Okay.
On the other side.
All right, I didn't want to rush you off the air.
Chris Hahn.
I kid him, because uh Chris is actually a pretty good guy for a liberal, but he's crazy, and he's are you still best for BFF with uh Chucky?
I wouldn't say I'm BFF, but I am still part of this humor family without a doubt.
Okay.
I bet he wasn't sad when I left town.
Did he make any comments here?
Like, I'm so glad he left a couple of years ago.
Oh, he called me up.
He said, you know, Chuck, uh it he left town, Christopher.
Uh, what's going through this place?
That's pretty good.
Did he really call you or no?
No.
But he called me every day for six years when I worked for him, so you never forget the freaking old voice.
That is funny.
Uh Chuck didn't doesn't seem to like me.
He's never come on my show.
He doesn't like the he doesn't like me.
Um think about I don't dislike the guy.
But here's the here's the fundamental problem for Chuck, and and you're just denying the reality of it.
So you have Marxist Mondani win this mayor mayoral race.
You have AOC, who might primary Chuck.
We'll see what happens.
You have this radicalism, and this is this is what happened in the last election.
Your party, the Democratic Party, you had a candidate that supports that well, first of all, that was part of an administration that lied and said the borders were closed and the borders were secure.
We have known terrorists, murderous rapists, cartel members, gang members, all came in under Biden and Harris.
And she wants, as part of that open border mentality, she wanted taxpayer-funded sex change operations for illegals and for convicts.
Her running mate wanted uh taxpayer funded college tuition for illegals.
Uh then, of course, he wanted gender affirming care without parental consent.
This guy, and then he wanted to put t tampons in grade school boys' bathrooms, if that makes, you know, if if that's your policy.
And now you got a guy that wants to replace police with social workers, wants to tax white people more than people of other races.
This is a guy that wants to freeze rent, raise taxes on everybody, offer everything is free, free, free, uh, across the board, and promote the trans agenda, uh, raise the minimum wage to thirty bucks.
Uh then he wants to eliminate all guns in New York, and uh swears that he's gonna fight ICE and deportation.
And uh I'm just trying to uh understand that if if you and Chuck realize that you can't win on these platforms, that your party has become way more extreme than it's ever been.
Do you see that reality?
I'll let you have the last word.
Well, there was a lot to what you just said there.
But here's the reality.
The reality is nobody can win when you're drilling down into small components of people.
You need broad base appeals.
That's why Trump won.
That's why Mandami won.
If he wins in November, that is going to be why he wins.
Because he appealed to a broad base of people across demographics, across party lines, across, you know, wealth.
Respectfully, you're not addressing where your party is, championing the rights of men to play women's sports.
Putting the rights of illegals like Brago Garcia over the safety of others.
Address the real issues.
The party, the Democratic Party, needs to need to focus on core issues.
They need to come up with them.
four core values that they stand for that appeal broadly.
You're talking about issues that appeal very narrowly, that have been blown up out of proportion, I think, Successfully by challenges to Democrats.
But Democrats can push back on that with broad popular Mom Donnie is the embodiment of all these radical policies.
He's doubling down and taking it further.
Global Antifada.
Oh, great.
Yeah, well, look, I mean, you know, a lot of the policies of the right were unpopular, and then Trump doubled down on them and said, Here's why they're popular.
Which which policy was unpopular with Trump?
Um, I don't know, rounding up people uh that are making your bagels in the morning and shipping.
Nobody nobody's no, they're trying to they're they're deporting people like in Los Angeles, they were arresting child molesters, murderers, gang members and and other violent criminals.
Don't do you do you think that Harris and Biden did the right thing but with open borders and Chuck sat by idl sat idly by and did nothing?
Do you think that was the right call?
I think that uh there was a very thick there was a piece of legislation that would have solved this problem that Trump stopped because he walked.
Oh, Trump Trump wasn't in office.
This is Biden's policy.
Okay, but Trump has proven you don't need legislation.
His policies have not been codified into law.
He just put out presidential directives, which Biden could have done.
Yeah, and I remember being on your show when Obama was president and you railing against that kind of action by a president.
I remember it.
Actually, actually, no, that's not true, but we'll go back and we'll listen to the tape.
But you're you're trying to avoid my question.
These are this is now your party.
Your party lied to the American people for four years and said the borders close, the borders secure.
They lied and said inflation is transitory.
They lied and said that Joe uh was not cognitively impaired.
When did you notice a cognitive impairment?
Uh well, look, I wasn't in the campaign.
But ask you if you're in the campaign.
I'm not in the campaign, and I I started reporting on it in 2019.
When did you first notice?
Let me tell you, I've been on your show a few times during the Biden administration, and I didn't reach out to people inside, and I was given the runaround too.
And I was When did you first notice it?
I first started thinking about it in like twenty nineteen, and I started saying not twenty nineteen, twenty twenty-two.
I started thinking of it in that regard.
I was like, what is going on here?
Didn't think he would run again.
And then when we saw the disastrous debate, I was one of the first people to say, get this guy out of here.
But again, I think And do you think that running a candidate that supports taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals was a good idea?
That was a Trump administration policy.
And that clip was that was not a Trump administration policy.
Nobody had a sex change operation.
She's on she's on tape saying she supported it.
Find that with Trump.
Never.
Not happening.
That tape was made in twenty nineteen when Trump was Do you think Tim Walls was uh was a good choice supporting tampons and in grade school boys' bathrooms?
I don't think the policy was to put it in boys' bathrooms.
I think it's a block.
It was.
No.
And taxpayer funded tuition for illegals, was that a good policy?
I think tax I think having tuition for college for people who get ahead or here who are dreamers.
I think that's something Americans support.
No, for illegal immigrants, people that didn't respect our laws, border and sovereignty.
He was they were doing it for dreamers who people actually, if you poll them, want to see them stay here.
And there were you're avoiding the question.
Why couldn't why couldn't members of your party stand for the family of Lake and Riley when President Trump gave a speech, a joint session uh session speech?
Why couldn't they stand for the for the mother, Alexis Nungarry, who we've interviewed on this show, who lost her 12-year-old little daughter uh to Biden Harris illegals that brutally raped and murdered her?
Why didn't your party stand for them?
Look, I think they should have stand for them.
You think they should?
You don't think that doesn't that show a lack of heart, soul, and a conscience?
I think when somebody loses a loved one, you you you want to respect them and have empathy for them.
But your party didn't.
What does that tell you about your party?
You're friends with these people.
Again, elections are about appealing to broad bases of people, broad groups of people, not bases, I should say.
You're giving me cliches and platitudes.
Why didn't your party stand?
And why don't you just say it was a disgraceful moment for my party?
I said they should have stand, Sean.
Did you not hear me?
I said it.
Um reception bad in Texas or wherever you are today.
I mean, it it's in New York, we hear.
But it it is a it is is something they should have done.
Um why they didn't, I don't know.
I don't answer for them.
But what I would suggest is they don't give their opponents these openings, and they just stick to a to a mantra of issues that are broad.
I'm gonna make two predictions.
One is Chuck Schumer will not have the courage to condemn Mom Donnie.
And two, if he is primaried by AOC, he will lose and he will lose spectacularly.
Um I don't know why.
Then I'm an I'm a former New Yorker.
I don't even go back to New York.
I have not been to Rothman's in two years.
Do you know that?
Well, you know, you'll be coming next year or two years from now after the primary when you're buying me a steak.
No.
No, I'm never going back.
And you know you love Rothman.
Just come back.
I'll give you a pass.
I love Rothman's.
The guys that are from Rothman's are building a place not far from me.
Well then, you know.
Like every other New York company, they're getting out.
And if you were smart, you'd get out too.
You could send your jet for me and I'll have dinner with you at Rothman's in Texas, wherever you are.
Why don't you be the typical liberal?
You want something for free.
I'm not paying for your plane fare.
I'm gonna lose the bet, so of course I want it.
You can either come up here or I'll come there.
But you know, if I'm coming there, you're flying me.
Listen, you and I both know that deep in Chuck Schumer's heart, he knows that this is crackpot stuff.
I know he knows it, because he's never advocated this crap in his life.
I've never really liked him, but I don't think he's a total nut job like the squad.
I don't.
And I think that, you know, unfortunately he's getting more extreme.
But the thing is he fears his party now more than ever.
Chuck Schumer is afraid.
And rather than just do the honorable thing and just realize uh this party doesn't represent my values anymore, and just you know, let his term run out and let somebody else take over, he's gonna try and fight it out, and it's not gonna be pretty for him.
We'll see, Sean.
We'll see.
Maybe that get you to crack New York.
No, never.
I'm not.
Not happening.
Not coming back.
I am gone.
Sold my house.
I don't have a I don't have a house there.
I got it I got a spare room.
You could crash here.
No, I'd rather I I forget it.
I'd I I get a free hotel room on at Roosevelt Hotel, the Thousand City.
They'll give it to you.
Linda goes, they closed.
You'll fit in perfectly.
Uh you got to admit the case against your party is weak.
Just admit it.
And you just admit we're in a bad spot right now.
You're right, Hannity.
We've been taken over by radicals.
We got to refocus our attention.
We got to get back to bread and butter issues.
But here's your the problem is you can't with Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Mom Donnie, the Marxist.
You can't you can't.
You cannot recover Kamala Harris, him with Timmy, Tampon Tim.
You can't recover from that.
I just said we got to get back to bread and butter issues.
You know, I didn't say bread and butter, but yeah.
Why don't you just support Trump and suck it up?
Go ahead.
Say I support Trump's policies.
Support Trump.
I don't hate Trump, but I'm not going to support Trump.
Uh I don't like waiting for the.
Everyone in your party hates Trump.
Nobody They all hate him.
I look I think.
I think hate is is not worth it.
I don't like hating anyone.
Yeah, why did why did they lie about the value?
You know, I can go through the chapter and verse.
They'd love they had no problem with all of the lawfare and the weaponization against him.
Seems like he's doing a little law fair of his own right now, don't you think?
No.
Oh no?
You don't think you don't think the arrest of the Congresswoman in New Jersey was warranted?
You don't think that's the one?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That first of all, Donald Trump did not make that decision.
Are you saying that it's perfectly acceptable for a Congresswoman as the allegation goes, is interfering with the police law enforcement and doing their job?
You think that's acceptable?
Is that part of your defund dismantle no bail law mentality?
No, I think she was doing her job.
And I think that disrupting disrupting law enforcement.
No, I mean they were interfering in their in their work.
That's called obstruction, where I grew up.
Congress.
Last time I checked, the Constitution says Congress is going to be a check and a balance on the presidency.
And that means you get to visit federal.
You can check and balance all you want, but you can't you can't interfere in law enforcement in the middle of an operation.
I there was no operation going on.
They were going actually was.
You're wrong.
Okay.
Well, let's see what the court says.
But it seems like a little law fair there.
It seems like a little law fair against the attorney general in New York.
Seems like that's going on right now.
So if they really think that it was lawfare, maybe they wouldn't engage in law.
You think an attorney general should run in any state on a platform to go after one man, one organization, and and one family, the way that the attorney general in New York did with quote the phrase, I'm gonna get Trump.
Is that acceptable to you?
I think if there is evidence of a crime, you're gonna get Trump.
I'm gonna so I'll become attorney general on a platform.
I'm gonna get Chris Hahn.
No, look, I think it's I think no one is above the law.
And I don't think what law did Trump break.
Oh, he he was convicted of He was convicted of what?
What was the conviction about?
It was it was Trump, first of all, the the charges were a novel legal theory.
You know the statute of limitations had run out.
You know that it was a legal NDA.
It was paid for uh as a legal expense, and it was done by a lawyer.
Listen, Chris Hahn, the Chris Hahn show, appreciate your time, Chris.
Good to catch up with you.
And uh God bless you.
If you're down in Florida, let me know.
When you're freezing up there in the winter time, give me a call.
I will.
I'll talk to you soon.
800-941 shot.
Well, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
We're gonna cover probably tomorrow, considering they jury in the Diddy trial.
They did come to verdicts on every count but one, the RICO charge.
So the judge sent him home for the day and wants them to keep deliberating.
But we'll have that probably tomorrow.
Also, the latest on the big beautiful bill in the house tonight on Hannity, we have Governor Ron DeSantis, Christy Gnome.
They were with the presidents uh today, Alligator Alcatraz, Mike Johnson on the Big Beautiful Bill, Greg Jarrett on the Diddy trial, all coming up.
Nine Eastern Hannity on Foxy, then back here tomorrow.
