Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right down are toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravaganza, it's eight hundred nine to four one, Sean. If you want to join us, well, the Democratic Party and their radical base is now doubled down on radicalism. It's exactly what we thought would happen.
Democrats have now handed I mean, the very people that were arguing their closing arguments for the twenty twenty four presidential election is that Donald Trump is a Nazi and a racist and a fascist, and he's Gestapo, and Ice is Gestapo, and wash and rinse and repeat, and it just never it never stops. And now they have nominated somebody with a real Nazi tattoo. Now, the first thing I want to throw out as an observation in this
We're going to talk a lot about this today. I want to get a lot of people's thoughts on us today. If you want to join us, our number eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is you got to remember. And I happen to be fond of rugged individualists and I love the people that live in Alaska. I told you I'm obsessed, you know with Alaska shows. You know, I just cannot watch enough, you know, the Greatest Catch Show with our friend at Namoris.
I just love it.
I love every aspect of working men and women. I love rugged individuals. I love people living off the grid and light below zero. And we've talked at length about this. I have a friend of mine that I grew up with, somebody that grew up with, that lives in Maine, and he actually ends up growing out like a beard, like the Robinson family and in Louisiana, and you know, it looks like Willie Robertson and the Mountain Man, but you know, we grew up the same way. But he loves the outdoors,
he loves the lifestyle up there. He doesn't quite live off the grid, but he has to do a lot of things independently himself, including cutting down trees and firewood and splitting wood, and you know, things that a lot of Americans we don't know. You know, it's funny you read these stories every once in a while about people that you know, finally learn where their food comes from.
In other words, if you've never been hunting or fishing in your life, you know, what do you really know about the meat that you're putting into your body.
Not a lot.
You know, they come from cows and pigs and chickens and if you like, I guess venisona comes from deer. But it's it's it's not just all nice package stuff in a grocery store with more options and choices that we've all grown up so accustomed to.
You can get anything you want where you go to.
I mean, it's one of the coolest things in the world that that we have that ability, the the the science that our farmers now use not only feeds the country, but it feeds the world. And the idea that there are some people that like to in their lives.
It's not my cup of tea.
I've actually never been Honting and and just you know, little stuff and that's not real Honting and I just it's not been an interest of mine, and I have friends of mine. No, you're gonna love it. You gotta come, you gotta come, you gotta do it. You love you love firearms. I'm like, yeah, I do. But you're gonna
love Honting. I'm like, no, I'm not. I just you know, the idea of standing out in the freezing cold and you know, uh, just waiting, you know, patiently for the animal to pass by or to track it and all that stuff. I can get the experience without doing it. So I love the people of Maine. I love their rugged individualism, I love their independence. I wish it was more conservative than it is as a state.
It's not.
Susan Collins the only elected Republican in all of New England.
If you could.
Imagine Massachusetts jerry mandering bs, you know, they don't have a single Republican congressman or representative in the US, not one, and from that state is a disgrace. And I think that Susan Collins. Yeah, at times her votes do frustrate me.
I'm not going to lie. She is not a rubber stamp Republican. She's not.
Donald Trump has gone sideways with her many many times. However, when there are very key moments, she could be a very key.
Vote and ally.
As a matter of fact, I think one of her best friends in the US Senate is Lindsay Graham. And you know, if you remember during the Kavanaugh debate and all that was going down, everyone was wondering what Susan Collins was going to do. When the information came out debunking the allegations against Kavanaugh.
She went the right way.
She recently went along with the Save Act after being persuaded how important voter ID is and if you live in Maine, you need integrity and elections like every other state. And it's just basic, simple common sense. It's it's not complicated stuff. So you know, now there's these are the primary voters in the Democratic base that voted. This is not the people of Maine that have voted. And I think that this is very critical and I think it's
very very important that we understand the difference. Now, the question is will the people of Maine, you know, be willing to ignore the insanity of Graham Platner, because I don't think they will be. And are the Democrats now going to start making a pilgrimage to Maine or are they going to call Platner into d C and they going to try to convince him to drop out before June twenty seventh. Now they have this obscure main law
that we've been telling you about. I don't know anyone else in the media that's picked this up, but we have. But the nominee he is now the nominee.
What did he win?
What was the final vote tality last night? Last time I checked, it was like seventy five seventy six percent, Linda, But he would have to withdraw by five pm on the second Monday in July, preceding the general election July thirteenth. I thought it was the twenty seventh. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, twenty twenty sixth in the cycle. Withdrawal must be in writing to the main Secretary of state.
What is the final vocal? When you get it, let me know seventy all right, seventy two percent?
That that is, you know, against the current Democratic governor Mills. That is a big number. He will rightly argue that he has a mandate. He will rightly our you that these controversies surrounding him have not in any way impacted his ability to win the state of Maine. But the people that voted in this primary are not the regular people of Maine. They're not the people that have voted over and over again to put Susan Collins back in
the US Senate. She's probably number one of constituent services, right up there with Lindsay Graham. I mean, people that really put the people in their state first, which should be their first primary job anyway. So we'll see what happens. I expect there's going to be some of this. But this guy is so egotisticals he's got all this bravado going on.
He's so arrogant.
I don't see this guy listening to him. I'm not a big god person, but let me quote amazing grace last night. To overcome all of the controversies, I don't think that's gonna cut it. And I think that any good campaign that educates and informs the people of Maine as to how many lies this guy has told. His whole life story is up in question. You know, I was looking and we'll check him with some guests later
in the program. I was looking on the main wire they call it, and they write about this guy a lot. You know, he's claiming he's an oyster man. Apparently there's no such thing in Maine as an oyster man. And then he's a guy that is talking about oligarchies and billionaires.
He grew up with privilege.
The oyster man if it's a real business, and I think when we get to the bottom of that, there's probably issues there apparently, according to financial reports, he only had one customer, his mommy, that's it.
Did you see that, Linda? One customer?
Mommy, sir, So it's absurd, And apparently nobody in May you have lobster men, there, you have clam men. There you have you know people I've never I've never, I never knew. I was saying, maybe I didn't know that at Maine. Well it turns out it's not true about Maine. So are the Democrats really going to push hard, to push, you know, to force him to voluntarily get off this ticket. I don't see that happening, But knowing Democrats as well as I do, I could see a scenario such as this,
and I'm making it up unfold. Is they get some big, big As much as this guy says he doesn't like money, those people like the financial security that comes with money. If you've ever had any point in your life where you didn't have any I have, and you live paycheck to paycheck, it makes a difference. Money doesn't make you happy, but it definitely gives you freedom to make choices in life. Now, will Democrats be brave enough to risk he might out them?
He might say, chuck Schumer pressuring me to get out. But the scenario I would envision would be different. The scenario I envision would be, Oh, introduce you to the CEO of company ABCDEF or G and they have an opportunity for you, and it's going to be highly paid. I mean, you'll make a million dollars, two million dollars, whatever the amount is, whatever it will take. If you drop out of the race and we get to replace you, will be done that overtly. Probably nothing would surprise me.
We hear about, you know, smoke filled backroom deals all the time when it comes to politicians, right, I could see that probably being the only way that they would get him out.
But this is a total conjecture.
This is a total guess on my part, not beyond knowing Democrats, not beyond anyone's comprehension that an offer can come in that.
Would be on offer you can't refuse.
He can't refuse in spite of all his his platitudes, and you know Bernie sander ISM's so we'll see. I'm actually leaning against their ability to pull this off. I don't think this guy is going to be open to it. I think this guy believes he's going to win. I think he thinks that he's not gonna have any problems with any of the controversy, starting with the Nazi tattoo, uh and and.
Straight on through.
You know, we've got all these explicit, explicit text messages, you know, as recently as last month for crying out loud Wall Street Journal reporting him and his wife. You know, these explicit texts. I don't like to get into people's personal lives, but you know this was right. They've only been married a short time. Early in their marriage, she flagged this to the campaign herself. They've known about it. I've been arguing that this this op research on this guy.
I don't think he's coming from a Republicans that has all the fingerprints of Democrats all over it. But you
know they're going through couples therapy, et cetera. Then you got all these bizarre Reddit posts, uh, you know, blaming sexual assault victims, suggesting people, especially women, take responsibility, avoid getting fed up on alcohol and act like an adult, down playing military sexual assault charges, calling himself an avowed communist, all cops are bastards, referring to rural white people in Maine as racist and stupid.
Well, when you play that and you put that up on the screen.
If you're a voter in Maine, are you really gonna be stupid by voting for a guy that thinks you're a racist and stupid? You know, putting aside the homophobic slurs, crude comments, it just never stops. Now he's trying to claim I have PTSD. You heard James Carville at the opening of the show. For nearly twenty years, he has this Nazi tattoo. That was not enough for Democrats. Then this is their problem. They've got a huge problem. They're now the Party of Graham Platner. They're now the Party
of James sixth Gender. Tel Rico, Welcome Matt at the Southern Border, tel Rico. God is non binary, Tela Rico. We've got a guy that has no problem men planes, women's sports, tell A Rico. A guy that's gonna run an all vegan campaign in the cattle state of Texas, A guy that you know doesn't want energy dominance in Texas, big part of their economy. I think he's gonna have a big problem. God is non binary and one of the six genders. I still want an answer to that.
So Platner's face calls to drop out from some Democrats. One said that he thinks it's definitely gonna happen. I'm not there. He's got all the support. This is the worst part for the Democrats. They got Platner, they got El Sayed in Michigan, they got tel Rico, They've got Mamdani, they got Grandpa Bernie Pocahontas, AOC the squad, and nobody in leadership in name only, and I say name only, they will never take on this radical or any other radical in their party because they cling to power more
than anything else. If they did take them on, Chuck would be done, a chem would be done.
It would be over in seconds. You know, guys, every day that I get to be here with Sean Hannity is a blessing day, and every day it is. It's incredible. It's like, you know, every day that ends in day I'm here. I'm here.
I know.
I was just bragging about you with you. I like when you brag about me. You know when you interrupted me.
I interrupted you on my own show. I don't know where those words come from, but I want to. I want to brag about you because you use the information, the science that Vyome gave you, because most of us, really, if we think about it, we're kind of guessing about our health.
And you really thought you were doing the right thing.
You were drinking cal shakes and these puke squash pumpkin shakes, and it's so disgusting, you know, projectile vomit looking stuff. It was disgusting. And for years I was telling you, you need more red meat, you need more protein.
Breaking news all afternoon. When you get off work, be.
Sure to check in first for everything you missed during the day.
This is the Sean Hannity Show. I don't know.
Remember I was originally supporting Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic nomination in Texas. I do remember.
I thought she was the most extreme.
And then we get you know, six gender God is non binary, welcome out at the border, vegan campaign in Texas and no oil and men playing women's sports tell A Rico, and I'm thinking, oh, I didn't think there was anyone more extreme in the primary, and I thought I was wrong. Although I may have to second guess this because Jasmine Crockett is losing it. I mean, it was pretty remarkable what she said. We'll play a couple
of cuts in a second. But you know she made several inaccurate, twisted comments about the murder of this young teenager, Austin Metcalf. And we went through the facts of the case yesterday when the guilty verdict came down, we carried it live on this program. And anyway, killer convicted of murder sentenced last night to thirty five years in prison by the same jury for stabbing Metcalf. He'll be eligible for parole in about half that time. And describing the
testimony in the case, it was overwhelming and controvertible. The jury didn't take long, less than three hours. They came out. Never good for a defendant. And anyway, now we have Jasmine Crockett arguing Metcalf's family wouldn't understand the pain Black women have to deal with on a daily basis. Their son was just murdered, Their teenage son was murdered. Wouldn't it be the same reaction for any family if they lost a loved one in a murder, a teenage child murdered.
Doesn't every life matter, Doesn't every human soul feel pain? Anyway, Crockett said that was made clear to her again while talking to a friend who is a black mom about this case. Black women, especially black women who have blackmailed children, live in fear and agony every single day, a fear and agony. I promise you the Metcalfs probably never spent a day living that way.
How does she know, especially black women who have black male children live in fear in agony every single day, a fear in agony that I promise you the Metcalfs probably never spend a day live in that way.
What a horrible thing to say on the day that this guy is convicted. Now, I believe every man, woman, a child was created by God with the propensity to good and evil.
That's my deeply held religious belief.
And God put talent in every person, and I think every life does matter. You know, twenty eight people shot in Chicago last weekend, four dead. Nobody is listening to this program could name one of them. I doubt Jasmine Crockett, if she was on this phone line, our newsmaker line, would be able to answer any of those questions. Anyway, So she said, Americans need to have real conversations about race in this country.
It's not about race.
The testimony was that he was in the other teams that Camello. Anthony was in the other team's locker or area, was asked to leave, didn't leave, had his hand in his bag the whole time, had a knife in the bag the whole time. And you know, then makes this weird comment about, well, if the three hundred pound man is beating me, that's not what the testimony said at all. Like on top of me beating me down, I'm not limited to fists. That was not the facts of this
case at all, not even remotely close. Seventeen year old Metcalf was nowhere close to three hundred pounds, six feet tall, two hundred pounds, Anthony five eleven, one hundred and sixty two pounds. And if you're twice my weight and got way more strength than me, and you got me, but that didn't happen.
Nobody got pinned down.
And she she's making these comments, and she's trying to make this as incendiary and as racial as possible, and it makes it just makes you wonder what the hell is going on with her, and why would she make comments like this.
The whole thing is a tragedy.
And you know what, for whatever reason, a lot of these kids are on edge. You know, all of them have talent when they're born, and I believe it's God given. And you know that. Why why do we preach freedom on this program so much, so often and embracing freedom and rejecting the false narrative of government assistance and help? How often have I told all of you in this audience, with as much passion as I can muster in my heart and soul, never depend on the government for anything
in your life. If you can avoid it, be the master of your own destiny.
To do that, you have to embrace freedom.
For the false promises of security that no government can ever deliver. They have tried many many times. This womb to the tomb, cradle to grave, socialist communists, whatever is them, it is utopia and it always fails and ends the same way. That's why you shouldn't rely on government. I'm telling you right now, if you're a young person, you better be prepared that they're going to have dollar cost averaging. They may flat out steal your Social Security money because
it's headed towards insolvency. They promised to put all that money in a lock box. They never did. They squandered it. You know, same with medicare. Look at all the fraudware discovering medicaid, medicare, you name it, state level, federal level, hundreds of billions of dollars were identifying waste, fraud, abuse, corruption. Okay, that's not working out. Well, what does the government do well?
How are your government schools doing? We spend more per capital on education per student than any other country in the industrial world, and we have the worst results.
How's that working out for you?
And the same thing with they can't even keep the border closed when they don't share the thought that you've got to enforce the laws of our country and the laws of the land. Democratic Party, sanctuary cities and states. They'll take your money, they'll give it to people that didn't enter the country legally. Why is California bankrupt with the highest income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes.
Why do they have the highest poverty rate? Homelessness is the rate?
Why they have billions and billions in debt because of ridiculous policies.
But there are people that are attracted to this.
Grand Platner Mamdani AOC squad, Grandpa Bernie Pocahontas mindset, tell Rico mindset Platiner mindset, sayed, mindset that the government's going to take care of your every need. If this is how it will end, it will lend in, you know, unfulfilled promises. Number one, Obamacare, keep your doctor plans, save average family twenty five hundred dollars a year, didn't happen.
Millions lose doctors, millions lose plans, average person paying over three hundred percent more, and forty plus percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option. Oh, how'd that work out for you? Schools are working out for you, defund dismantled nobail laws and reimagining the police work it out for you. Look great in New York the other night
when the riot broke out after the basketball game. So I'm just telling you there is an appeal to this and this this is on the ballot because this is now the radicalized party. They now have embraced the most extreme elements in their party that buy into this nonsense, and this is who they are. Here's more Crockett Our Crockett defending Carmelo Anthony. You know, and again what I just said, for three hundred men's beating down on me. Well, okay, let's Listen.
If a three hundred pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down, I'm not limited to fist you know. I would argue that even the only time we go into things like people's hands being considered daily weapons is typically like if they're a professional boxer that kind of stuff. But I think by the time you start getting to like football player, good argument, good freaking argument. We're not talking about like the golfers.
We're talking about football players, right, Like, this is what they are trained to do, is to inflict serious physical contact.
First of all, it was a track meet. It was not a football game that was taking place. And I honestly cannot believe the callousness in this woman's heart or her instinct is to immediately bring this into a racial issue, which most people on the ground said it was not from the very beginning. And it's just as where is your heart, your soul, your conscience for the family that just lost their teenage son, and it's the whole thing is a tragedy. But there is evil in this world,
and there are bad people in this world. And yeah, if a three hundred pound guy is going after Jasmine Crockett, she has a right to defend herself be the first person to say that. Moving on, I want to get to Oh later. We got to get to stephen A.
Smith.
He's losing his Mindland our friend, Our dear dear friend, step and A. He's blaming Trump for the fact that the Knicks lost Game three in New York City because he went to the game, a lifelong Nick fan. Donald Trump went to the game as if that was a bad thing. And now he's saying, if the Knicks lose this series, he's gonna blame Trump. I mean, you talk about a superstitious sports host. Good grief, don't worry. We love steven A. But he's coming on TV tomorrow talk
about it. The President revealed some information today. One he is now saying that he's going to take more action in Iran, and he said italiation retaliation is now on his way. He's close to ordering new strikes again, which of what has been evolving in the last week and a half seems appropriate to me, And maybe this will be the last thing. Now he's going to go after
their infrastructure. Their economy has already been brutalized, and he thinks that's probably the biggest point of pressure to give one more push before the just total obliteration of the country, which I know he's not wanted to do for the.
People of Iran.
But he said today that the US has been taking out for oil from Iran as part of a secret mission that he was just revealing today for the first time in light of you know, inflation ticked up. Now, the inflation numbers when you look deeper, it's not that hard. You don't have to look that deep, driven almost entirely by gas prices, which have now fallen dramatically since May twentieth because of the President's policies.
And he explained how they're falling.
He said, last month, I directed our great US military to execute a secret mission to support oil tankers and other commercial ships through the straight oh Hormuz. And today I'm pleased to announce this effort has resulted in one hundred million barrels of oil making its way through the Strait and into the open market. Now you've noticed the prices of a barrel of oil been down significantly. Why because supply and demand criss cross and that dictates the price.
So you know, it's not like I mean, this is such stealth Trump. He doesn't tell people what they want to hear, but he's going to order new strikes and the Iranians deserve it. Also told the harrowing story about you know, I mean, they shot at this apache, but thank god the bomb didn't go off and they were able to rescue these two guys quickly. I don't like any of it. I would prefer we'd not have to
do this mission or any mission ever abroad. But the President's not an isolationist, and the President saw the real, clear present danger of a nuclear armed Iran because of their sixty percent enriched uranium that they acknowledge they have. We know where it is, and he is going to let his watch end with Iram being in a nuclear power. It really comes down to some simple, basic fundamentals sometimes.
All right, when we come back, we'll get Bill O'Reilly's take all things simple man self proclaimed on the radicalization of the Democratic base. This is a different midterm than we've ever seen before. What does that mean for November? It's the most important midterm in your lifetime. I'm telling you also, Steve Robinson of the Main Wire, who knows more about Platner than anyone else. Laura Libby, a state repped from there, and your calls eight hundred and ninety four one sewn as we continue
