00:00Welcome to Hannity.
00:03And tonight, early voting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania gets underway in only 12
00:07days.
00:08Now, the first mail-in ballots will be sent out to voters this Friday.
00:12That would be tomorrow in North Carolina.
00:15And the election is a mere 60 days away.
00:17But Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, they have conducted only one short interview combined.
00:23They both literally run from every question, even though shouted by friendly reporters.
00:27They have held zero press conferences, no town halls, gaggles, none of it.
00:32In the same time frame, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance have participated in well over 40 interviews
00:37in town halls and press conferences, including last night in Harrisburg, PA, where the former
00:44president took questions for more than an hour.
00:47In fact, well, we couldn't fit it all in in just one show.
00:51I did have one more question for the president.
00:53You'll see the answer to this in a moment.
00:56And that was about whether or not the president would, in fact, how would he debate Kamala
01:01Harris?
01:02Is he ready for what she's about to throw at him, which I think is pretty easy to predict.
01:07But let's first go to audience questions from our exclusive town hall with former President
01:11Donald Trump.
01:12Thank you for staying to take questions from the audience.
01:17You know, I always plan out I do all this research to ask you questions and you just
01:23go.
01:24But we came here also to hear from the people of Harrisburg before we get to the people
01:29I want to again introduce.
01:30We introduced them last night on the show.
01:33Dave McCormick is the Republican Senate candidate from Pennsylvania.
01:36Senator, it's great to have you give you a chance to say a couple of words.
01:43Yes.
01:45Thank you, Sean.
01:46And thank you for Mr. President for being here in the Keystone State.
01:47And the Keystone State is going to decide the future of the country, put you back in
01:48the White House and the majority in the Senate.
01:50And, you know, it's Mr. President, it's a scary time in the world.
01:59Our adversaries around the world, Iran, China, Russia, North Korea are testing us.
02:07They're challenging us.
02:08We've lost deterrence.
02:09They think America is weak.
02:10They think America is on retreat.
02:12And my question to you is on day one, when you're back in the White House, how do we
02:16restore deterrence?
02:18How do we bring strength and capability back to our military?
02:22And how do we make sure that everybody in the world knows that America is back?
02:27So thank you, David, and good luck with the race.
02:30It's really important that you win.
02:31I hope you get a vote.
02:32He's a great gentleman and a great he's a great warrior.
02:38The first thing we have to do, we have to strengthen our country from within.
02:42And we have a lot of bad people from within, but we have to straighten it.
02:45We have to, number one, have a border like we had it four years ago, which was strong,
02:51where the wrong people didn't get in.
02:55We have to have that.
02:56The other thing we want to become, again, energy independent.
02:59We were energy independent.
03:00And what we really want is energy dominance.
03:06And then, as you know, we rebuilt the entire military and we had it like nobody has ever
03:13had it before.
03:14And then this guy gave away eighty five billion dollars worth of equipment to Afghanistan
03:20in the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
03:23But we have a lot more than that.
03:26We rebuilt the military.
03:27We want to be strong, but we want to do it.
03:30Peace through strength.
03:31That's what we want.
03:32Peace through strength.
03:33We shouldn't have to use our military.
03:34We're going to have the greatest military in the world.
03:35Thank you, David.
03:36All right, ma'am.
03:37Hi.
03:38What's your name?
03:40My name is Deborah Williams.
03:41Hi, Deborah.
03:42How are you?
03:43I'm good now.
03:44Hi, Deborah.
03:45Oh, because of me or because of the president?
03:46I'm just guessing.
03:47No, I'm kidding.
03:48I plead the fifth.
03:49Good answer.
03:50Mr. President, I want to thank you for coming and sharing your time with us today.
03:52Deborah.
03:53What could you share that you've learned during the first time you've been in the
03:54White House?
03:55Well, first of all, I want to say thank you.
04:09How do you feel about the first time being in the Oval Office for those who are hesitant
04:12to vote for you now?
04:15So we need a strong president.
04:19And you know, I actually think we had a very stable administration, but we were hit with
04:27this weaponization.
04:28We were hit the weapon as they've never done this before.
04:31The weaponization, all of the different Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, all of the different
04:36hoaxes.
04:37And we won every single one of them.
04:40The most important thing.
04:43And I found it.
04:44And you could say this is true in business also.
04:46We have to get the right people.
04:48When I first went there, 2016, we were I had a lot of good people, had a lot of good advice,
04:55but I put people in that in some cases were not what I really wanted because I didn't
05:00know much about Washington.
05:02I was there 17 times in my whole life and I wasn't in D.C. very much.
05:06But I got to know him and I got to know him the hard way.
05:10And I know the good ones, the bad ones, the weak ones, the smart ones, the dumb ones.
05:14I know them all now.
05:17And the key.
05:19And we had great ones.
05:20I mean, economic development.
05:21We did so well.
05:22The military, we did fantastically well.
05:24We knocked out ISIS, 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate.
05:28We have some great people in the military, not the ones that you see on television, but
05:32great people.
05:34The big key to running it is get the right people.
05:38You put the right person and the right group of people at the heads of these massive agencies.
05:43You're going to have tremendous success.
05:45And I know now the people and I know them better than anybody would know them.
05:49So thank you.
05:51Hi, ma'am.
05:52What's your name?
05:53Sue Helm.
05:54I'd like to welcome you to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
05:59We love you both.
06:00So thank you.
06:02I'm a small business owner.
06:04I'm the owner of Century 21 at the helm real estate.
06:07The four years of your presidency and Mr. Trump were the best economically I have experienced
06:13in the 35 years I own this business.
06:21And my question is, what are your plans and policies to restore the economy so small business
06:27owners can thrive and make America great once again?
06:33You know, we had a woman who was very spectacular, Linda McMahon, and she ran the Small Business
06:41Administration, did a phenomenal job.
06:44And that's a very important group for what we're talking about with small business.
06:48But to put it a little simpler, we're going to have low interest rates.
06:52We're going to have low taxes.
06:54We're going to give you tremendous incentive to grow and to build your business.
06:58And you know, a lot of people have said that they said one person who didn't support me,
07:04he said, I must admit, I had the most successful four years of my life, but I'm going to vote
07:08for some.
07:09I said, and now that person came back to me.
07:13I don't want that person.
07:14I don't want that person.
07:15You know, they say you should take everybody, but that's not the way I'm built.
07:19It's one of those little problems.
07:21This person, no, this was in the Republican primary said I had the best four years I've
07:25ever had under Trump, but I'm going to support this one.
07:28I said, that's the end of that, you know, when they came back.
07:31But we're going to lower interest rates.
07:32We're going to have low taxes.
07:34We're going to have tremendous incentives for small business.
07:36You know, small business is much bigger than big business in this country when you add
07:40it all up.
07:41And we're going to take care of small business in this country.
07:42Thank you very much.
07:43Thank you, ma'am.
07:44Sir, what's your name?
07:45Travis Finkenbinder.
07:46I'm from Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
07:50I'd like to welcome you both here.
07:55And it's an honor to stand before you.
07:59Mr. President, is it possible to correct the extensive damage the current administration
08:03has caused related to our safety and security from the border crisis to the plethora of
08:07weapons left behind in Afghanistan?
08:10I fear for my three adolescent sons at night.
08:13What do I tell Cale, Kate and Cole about their safety and their future of this great
08:18nation?
08:19Well, the first thing you should do is pray.
08:20Amen.
08:21Because what they've done to our country, right?
08:22What they've done to our country, what these and I hate to use the word, what these stupid
08:32people, naive people, but bad people, you know, weaponization again, they're after me.
08:38I got more court cases on Friday.
08:40I have one on Monday.
08:41I have one.
08:42And they do that for very bad reasons.
08:45They don't want you to campaign.
08:46They want to keep you off the campaign.
08:48They want to try and take as much money as possible instead of putting it in.
08:51But let me just tell you, the hardest problem we have is a smart president will be able
08:56to get along with Russia, China.
08:58There are a lot of reasons why.
09:00But the biggest problem we have is they've allowed 21 million people into our country.
09:05And this and I told you last night, I tell you tonight, it's the single biggest problem
09:12they've poisoned our country.
09:13They're coming in from prisons.
09:15They're coming in from mental institutions.
09:19Terrorists are coming in.
09:20The criminals are coming off the streets in Caracas, Venezuela, but all over the world,
09:25not just in South America.
09:27It's the single hardest problem that we would have never had.
09:32If I were president, you wouldn't have that problem.
09:34You wouldn't have a Russia attack in Ukraine.
09:37You wouldn't have had October 7th with Israel.
09:41You wouldn't have had the Afghanistan disaster, which I think is the most single, most embarrassing
09:46day in the history of our country, where they have billions of dollars of equipment.
09:53We lost 13 great, great soldiers.
09:55And I celebrated and honored their wonderful.
10:00They call them their children.
10:01Then they are their children, their wonderful children, their their kids.
10:06I went to Arlington Cemetery with them the other day and at their request, at their request.
10:14And John knows this better than anybody.
10:16And it was very tough for me to get there.
10:18I will tell you, I don't want to say that, but it was very tough.
10:21I was in a different part of the world, frankly.
10:23And I got there and we had a beautiful couple of hours together.
10:28First we had a ceremony and then we had a we went down to the grave sites and they said,
10:35Could we have a picture with my son?
10:38In one case, it was a daughter.
10:40Could we have a picture with my daughter?
10:41We took pictures.
10:42We had stayed for a long time.
10:44And then I left.
10:45And that was it.
10:46I thought it was beautiful.
10:48And those people are phenomenal.
10:49What they've done.
10:50Joe Biden and Kamala killed those children because of their incompetence, just like they
10:58had, just like they had a gun that killed them.
11:03I went home and I thought it was a beautiful thing.
11:06I told my wife, I told a great first lady who people love, they love her.
11:12But I said it was so sad and yet so beautiful and joyful in a sense.
11:19I mean, the people, they had something that was very special.
11:22And I went there and, you know, I had them up to bed.
11:25So I got to know many of them, most of them.
11:28But I get home and I get a call from one of my people, sir, they're saying that you
11:33use this for public relations purposes.
11:37And you know what happened?
11:38It was so beautiful.
11:39Every one of those people made a video to say that Donald Trump came there.
11:46I got enough publicity.
11:47I don't need publicity.
11:48I'd like to get half the publicity.
11:51I'd be very happy.
11:52But they said that.
11:54And you saw the videos.
11:56The videos became very, very well known and famous, actually.
12:00Some beautiful statements that I went there.
12:03I got nothing out of that except to take care of people that were not taken care of by our
12:07government.
12:08And Joe Biden and Kamala should call those people and apologize because that was the
12:16most incompetent withdrawal in the history of our country.
12:20There's never been anything.
12:21So think of it.
12:23We took the military out first.
12:24We're supposed to take the military out last.
12:27Once the military was gone, they had free shots at us.
12:30But we took the military out first and then it began.
12:33We lost 13 soldiers.
12:35Many were horribly wounded, meaning no legs, no arms.
12:40The face was obliterated.
12:41Many.
12:42We don't even talk about those people.
12:44And we have to.
12:45We left Americans behind.
12:47And you cover that better than anybody.
12:49We left many Americans behind.
12:51And we left billions and billions of dollars of brand new military equipment behind that
12:58now they are one of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world.
13:03Afghanistan.
13:04They're selling the equipment that we just walked away from.
13:07It is.
13:08It was so incompetent.
13:10But to be with those people was a real honor, I have to tell you.
13:14And for them to go out of their way.
13:17But every one of them made a video.
13:19They said, sir, could you take a picture next to the grave of my son?
13:25I said, of course.
13:26Could you imagine if I said, no, I don't want to do it?
13:29I don't want to do it.
13:30But every one of those people appreciated it.
13:33And every one of them made a tape and they sent it out.
13:35And it became very viral, as they say nowadays.
13:38And it was a great honor for me to be there.
13:42I should add, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were both invited.
13:48And this was not.
13:49You knew these families.
13:50You had met with them at Bedminster.
13:51Yes.
13:52You were familiar with them.
13:53I knew them.
13:54And they they invited you.
13:55You went.
13:56And they said, would you take a picture?
13:57And then you did.
13:58And then you were attacked.
14:00And then the families were furious at Kamala about it.
14:02I think this is going to be the last question.
14:05What's your name, sir?
14:06Hi, Alistair Hackett from Spring Lake, New Jersey.
14:11Thank you, Mr. President.
14:13I'm a recent college graduate and I'm concerned with the growing influence of wokeness in
14:17many of our top institutions.
14:19We saw General Milley take this to new heights under his leadership in the military.
14:24What is your plan to combat radical ideology in the military and in our corporations?
14:28Well, first of all, Milley.
14:35That day in Congress where Milley proclaimed his wokeness was an embarrassment to our country.
14:43And remember this.
14:44We don't have a woke military.
14:46We have some guys at the top that talk it, but you couldn't convince them to be woke
14:51if you were screaming at them for five weeks.
14:54We took out 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate in four weeks.
14:59It was supposed to take five years.
15:02And these are.
15:03And I got to meet the real generals and they are unbelievable.
15:07Our military is unbelievable.
15:09Remember it.
15:10Unbelievable.
15:11There is no wokeness.
15:12There is no wokeness.
15:13And all we're going to do is you go out, you get your degree, you work hard, you're going
15:22to see a different country.
15:24We have to get elected.
15:25If we don't get elected, I don't know what's going to happen to our country.
15:28I just don't know.
15:29There's so bad.
15:30And normally I wouldn't say that.
15:32I'd say, well, you know, they're working.
15:33There are Democrats.
15:34These aren't Democrats.
15:36These are people long beyond Democrats.
15:38When I used to say to Sean on his show, I'd say our country, Sean, will never be a socialist
15:43country.
15:44And it won't.
15:45It'll be a communist country.
15:46They skipped socialism.
15:48They totally.
15:49We cannot let this happen to our country, because if it does happen, we'll never be
15:53able to come back.
15:54We'll never be able to make a comeback from it.
15:57So we're going to have a big election.
15:59This is a very Pennsylvania, a very important.
16:01The Commonwealth.
16:02You never want to call it a state.
16:04The Commonwealth.
16:05If you ever call it a state, I've seen guys, I've seen their political career ruined by
16:12saying the state of Pennsylvania.
16:15No, you never want to call it a state.
16:17Now I'll tell you how dishonest they are.
16:19They'll take that one little statement where I said the state of Pennsylvania and they'll
16:23play it.
16:24The state of Pennsylvania.
16:25They'll cut it.
16:26Well, there's one other.
16:28Let me just because they're fake.
16:31And one thing we should say, not him and not Fox.
16:35And we have a couple of others out there that are good.
16:37But the biggest, a great enemy to this country is the fake news media.
16:43It's a big, big.
16:44And they have to change their ways.
16:45I have to change their way before we let the president go, because this is airing part
16:53two on Thursday night.
16:55I want to ask you one final question.
16:58In five nights, you'll be on the stage, not with me, but with Kamala Harris.
17:03Now, if I'm going to make a prediction, I think she's going to try and annoy, agitate,
17:12irritate, frustrate and piss you off, to use a phrase.
17:16And are you aware of how she debates and probably every name in the every name in the book she
17:26can call you and without giving away your tactic?
17:29Yeah, I you don't want to do that.
17:31But, you know, when I had Biden, you and I had the same discussion and I let him talk.
17:37I'm going to let her talk because, you know, you've all seen it.
17:46There are those that say that Biden is smarter than she is, OK?
17:50And if that's the case, we have a problem.
17:54But, you know, debating is an interesting thing.
17:57I've been in many debates.
17:58I think I probably have one because of debating, maybe, you know, we had a lot of debates with
18:03the Republicans and we had Crooked Hillary.
18:05We had a lot of different people.
18:06We had a debate and we had some great debates.
18:08You do remember the Rosie O'Donnell debate.
18:11Remember Rosie O'Donnell?
18:13That's a real she's a real great one.
18:17Isn't she a great one?
18:19Anyway, but but a debate is interesting.
18:22You really you can go in with all the strategy you want, but you have to sort of feel it
18:26out as the debate's taking place.
18:28I've seen it.
18:29You go in there and you have a strategy.
18:31Mike Tyson made the statement.
18:33Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
18:36It's true.
18:37It was a brilliant statement.
18:39It's a brilliant statement.
18:41So I could tell Sean exactly what I'm going to do.
18:43But, you know, things change.
18:44It depends a lot on ABC.
18:47Will they be fair or not?
18:49If they're not going to be fair, I'm going to be a little bit different than if they
18:52are.
18:53I hope they're going to be fair.
18:55We're putting a lot of reliance on a network which is known for being extremely hostile
19:01to the people in this room and to, I think, 75, 80 percent of the country, if you want
19:06to really know the truth.
19:08But Sean, all I can say is, you know, I've seen Mitt Romney go and lock himself into
19:13a log cabin for four or five weeks, and then he came out and he was horrible in the debate.
19:17He couldn't talk.
19:19He gained great knowledge.
19:20He couldn't talk.
19:21And Candy Crowley came out and she made a terrible statement that turned out to be wrong,
19:26but it destroyed the guy.
19:27But look, you have to.
19:30The way I look at debating, I think I've been really practicing all my life for this stuff.
19:34I mean, ultimately, that's what it's sort of about.
19:38So it'll be it'll be an interesting it'll be an interesting evening.
19:43And the Biden debate was a very interesting evening.
19:45I was sort of surprised by it a little bit by, you know, what he did and the way he reacted.
19:51And you don't know how somebody is going to react, even a professional.
19:54You don't know how they're going to react.
19:57And you have to sort of go with it as you get up there.
19:59So I'd love to give you an answer.
20:00This is what I'm going to do, Sean.
20:02But when you get up there, you said it's because I've done a lot of it.
20:04I went from never having debated the having done a lot of debates.
20:09But if you know she's going to try and annoy you.
20:12But that's well, I think we have a bigger problem.
20:14I think that ABC will try and annoy.
20:16I bet that too.
20:17OK.
20:18President Donald Trump.
20:19Thank you, Harrisburg.
20:20All right.
20:22All right.
20:23Many thanks to our friends in Harrisburg, PA.
20:26And it was great to see so many of you.
20:27When we come back, Vladimir Putin just endorsed a candidate in the twenty twenty four presidential
20:31election.
20:32Spoiler alert.
20:34It's the Democrats who the Democrat who is unburdened by what has been.
20:39We'll get reaction from Senator Marco Rubio and Bernie Marino, plus Steve Moore and much
20:44more to talk about Trump's economic agenda straight ahead.
20:50OJ announced that Russia is once again trying to interfere with the presidential election.
20:56But Vladimir Putin did actually make an endorsement in the presidential race today.
21:01He announced that he is backing.
21:04Kamala Harris, take a look.
21:07As for the favorites, there is no need to define that.
21:10It's a choice by the people of America.
21:12In the end, I've said that are so to say favorite was the acting president, Mr. Biden.
21:17He's been taken out of the race, but he advised all his supporters to support Mrs. Harris.
21:22That's what we'll do.
21:23We'll support her as well.
21:25And that's the first thing.
21:26Secondly, her laugh is so expressive and infectious.
21:29That means she's doing well.
21:32Clearly talking about her laugh is mocking Kamala Harris.
21:35Putin also apparently said he is open to negotiating and an end to the Ukraine war.
21:40But let's be clear for a moment.
21:42Vladimir Putin is a murderer, dictator, thug, killer, murdering innocent people.
21:47With a pointless, unprovoked war.
21:49The guy can't be trusted.
21:50He invaded a sovereign country.
21:53But if he's trying to interfere in this election, you have to wonder whether he'd want to go
21:57back to the guy who prevented him from taking an inch of new territory when he was president,
22:03the guy who armed Ukraine instead of sending them blankets, the guy that stopped the Nord
22:07Stream 2 pipeline from sending Russian oil into Western Europe, or stay with the administration
22:13that is pretty much allowing him to invade Ukraine with no consequences and handcuffs
22:19on Ukraine and Zelensky.
22:22Here with Reaction Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno is with us, who is
22:28critical.
22:29His race is critical in terms of control of the U.S. Senate next year.
22:33Florida Senator Marco Rubio also with us from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
22:38Senator Rubio, let me let me if I may begin with you.
22:40Look, there are disagreements over America's approach and involvement in this battle in
22:47Ukraine.
22:48I happen to be of the belief that Europe should have from the beginning stepped up and done
22:53more.
22:54I think that Joe Biden should not have put handcuffs on Zelensky and not let him have
22:58the MIGs from Poland that they were offering and telling them what bombs they can and cannot
23:02use.
23:03And Americans don't want us caught up in these foreign wars and spending hundreds of billions
23:08of dollars.
23:10Why wouldn't we insist with such a mineral rich country like Ukraine that they pay for
23:15any weapons that they buy and that would be contingent on the military weaponry they need
23:22to get from us?
23:23Would that be fair in your view?
23:25Well, I think ultimately what you're pointing to is two things.
23:29The first is there is nobody in American or American politics that I know of that's rooting
23:32for Vladimir Putin.
23:33I think overwhelmingly people want Ukraine to win and want Russia to lose.
23:37The only debate is what can we afford to provide them?
23:40It's got to be commensurate to our national interest with regard to Ukraine and it has
23:43to be balanced out against all the other needs that we have, both foreign and domestic.
23:48The biggest threat in the 21st century is what's happening in the Indo-Pacific, the
23:51massive buildup of Chinese military capability.
23:54That has to be our overwhelming priority.
23:57We have a threat now from terrorism coming into our country through a wide open border
24:02and things like that that we've seen.
24:04So we are now in an era.
24:05We've always been in an era.
24:06We have to prioritize.
24:07But now more than ever, we have to prioritize everything that we do.
24:10And so my biggest problem with the Biden approach to Ukraine is they've never defined what is
24:15victory, what is the strategy, what is the outcome that we're trying to help them achieve
24:18or get to?
24:19Because if you don't have a strategy, you don't have a defined outcome, then what are
24:22you funding?
24:24What are you funding if you don't have a strategy?
24:25How do you even know that what you're funding is the right amount or the right things?
24:29And I think that's what's imperiled U.S. support to Ukraine in terms of Congress.
24:34And so and that's the approach that I think Donald Trump is going to take, which is I
24:37don't want Russia to win, but I want this war to end and we want to do what it takes
24:41for it to end so we can save innocent lives.
24:43And we are going to help Ukraine, but it can't be an unlimited amount.
24:46That's just not true.
24:47And it's not realistic.
24:48Mr. Moreno, what is your take on the D.O.J. alleging yesterday that Russian companies
24:54are targeting Americans through the use of influencers and social media pages to spread
25:00propaganda?
25:01Now, what they're saying are disinformation topics are topics we often talk about on this
25:07program.
25:08And I have no relationship with Russia at all record.
25:12If you talk about record inflation, unaffordable prices for good, for for essential goods.
25:18That's just that's a disinformation topic or D.I. or woke stories.
25:22That's disinformation or crimes committed by the unvetted Harris Biden, illegal immigrants.
25:28And we have Americans being murdered and raped and victims of violent crimes, and it's
25:32costing us a fortune.
25:36To me, it's beyond absurd what they listed in this indictment.
25:40Well, as Ronald Reagan would say, here we go again.
25:44We cannot have a repeat of what the administration did during covid, which by bullying private
25:50companies into deciding what information Americans could have and what information Americans
25:55couldn't have.
25:56Look, the American people are very, very smart.
25:59That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
26:01We believe in the intellect of the American people.
26:04The Democrats think that they know better than we do.
26:07We do not want to have a rogue Department of Justice telling us what information we're
26:13allowed to see and what information we can't see.
26:15That is a clear violation of the First Amendment.
26:19What is your take, Senator, that, you know, when they say that a disinformation campaign
26:25excludes telling the truth about record inflation, unaffordable prices for food and essential
26:31goods, D.I. stories or crimes committed by Harris Biden, unvetted illegal immigrants?
26:40Every one of those stories are real and truthful.
26:44Can you explain to me and this audience what that what that indictment's about?
26:50OK, so disinformation is something totally different from what they are going after or
26:56describing.
26:57Disinformation is when you make up things that aren't true and you spread it so people
26:59think they're true.
27:00In this particular case, we are talking about pre-existing political opinions in the United
27:05States.
27:06These are pre-existing political opinions that have existed well before any Russian
27:10engagement or involvement or what have you.
27:12One of the indictments that came out yesterday, it does not allege that the people these people
27:15that they say were being funded by the secret donor that was hiding their true identity.
27:20They already had these opinions.
27:21They already believed in these things.
27:22They legitimately believe in the views that they're espousing.
27:26They were victims.
27:27They were targets of a fraud in which someone posing as just a regular investor had Russian
27:31money behind them.
27:33As far as the Russians.
27:34Yeah.
27:35And the Chinese and the Iranians and other countries as well.
27:37And by the way, my view of it is that this is all very serious and concerning.
27:40We need to have our eyes wide open.
27:42I think there's actually real disinformation being promulgated by some of the editorial
27:47rooms of some of the biggest media companies in America who pretend like Kamala Harris
27:51was born on July 24th when she's been around.
27:54She's been the vice president.
27:55She owns the Biden record, should have to answer for that record, has flip flopped on
27:59everything that she ran for when she ran for president.
28:02And they're now saying, oh, you changed your mind.
28:04Well, that's fine.
28:05OK, we believe you.
28:06That's disinformation.
28:07And it's deliberate and it's designed and it's been driven over the last five or six
28:10weeks in a way that's been stunning to watch, even by the low journalistic standards that
28:15now exist in our country.
28:16Stunning.
28:17So, Sean, if you want to see real disinformation, Sean, if you want to see real information,
28:21come to Ohio and watch Sherrod Brown's commercials.
28:26There you'll find real misinformation, disinformation.
28:28There's a guy who's completely reinventing his record of who he is.
28:32So if they want to ban disinformation, unfortunately, the Democrats aren't going to have any TV
28:36commercials.
28:37Well, let's let's talk about Sherrod Brown, because you're in a race that is probably,
28:42you know, one of the biggest pickup opportunities for Republicans in the country in a state
28:47that is absolutely winnable.
28:50What is the state of the race now?
28:51As we speak, I have Sherrod Brown's extremism exposed.
28:56What percentage of the time is he voting with Harris and Biden?
29:01He voted with Harris and Biden almost 100 percent of the time.
29:04And when President Trump was in the White House, Sherrod Brown undermined them at every
29:09step of the way.
29:10He called them racist, voted to impeach him twice, said the wall was stupid, said the
29:14wall was racist.
29:15He was the tiebreaking vote on the all the bills that caused record high inflation.
29:20Now, of course, he wants to reimagine himself.
29:23We're going to win this race, Sean, because we're going to expose him for the fraud and
29:27fake that he is.
29:28This guy's a snake oil salesman.
29:30And we're going to take it right to his policies and let the people of Ohio know that we we
29:35have to get rid of this guy after 50 years in public office.
29:39All right, Bernie Marino, Senator Marco Rubio, thank you both.
29:43Earlier today, former President Donald Trump laid out his plans to cut taxes, improve government
29:48efficiency.
29:49Let's take a look.
29:51My plan is that if you open your factory in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota,
29:56anywhere else in our country, you don't pay a tariff tax.
30:00You don't pay a tax.
30:01You make the product here at a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 21 percent
30:07to 15 percent solely for companies that make their product in America.
30:12I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial
30:17and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for
30:23drastic reforms.
30:24What we're putting forward is the most pro-American manufacturing and jobs policy in modern history
30:32for any country.
30:34This plan will bring jobs and growth into our country at levels never seen before.
30:39Every business on Earth will flock to America from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and all
30:43over the world.
30:44All right, here now with reaction co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, our
30:49friend Steve Moore is back.
30:51You know, you have charts, credit card debt, deregulation, real income, mortgage, government
30:58jobs, taxes, inflation, essentials, and I'm going to put them up as you speak here.
31:03And then it goes to the heart of what people should be asking.
31:07If peace and prosperity historically drive elections, certainly prosperity is on the
31:12ballot.
31:13And these charts reflect disastrous economic results.
31:18And I guess, according to the DOJ, I would be spreading disinformation by telling that
31:22truth.
31:23Yeah, Sean, great to be with you.
31:26And by the way, I thought Trump's performance today, he just laid out a plan that is so
31:32great for America in terms of cutting taxes, you know, promoting more American energy.
31:39I love this idea of this waste commission to go after the inefficiency, the redundancy,
31:46the obsolescence of all of these programs in Washington.
31:49Look, Sean, I think you could save a trillion dollars a year by just getting rid of all
31:55of the inefficiency in government.
31:58And Elon Musk is the perfect person, you know, somebody who knows how to run a business,
32:04to run that commission with a lot of other experts.
32:07Because look, how dare Kamala Harris talk about a $5 trillion tax increase?
32:12That's according to The New York Times, $5 trillion.
32:16Why don't we go through the budget and find the massive waste, inefficiency, the criminal
32:22behavior of people stealing money from the government before we talk about raising one
32:27penny of taxes, Sean?
32:29Yeah, well, she's talking about a corporate tax increase, small business tax increase,
32:34global minimum tax doubling, which would not make America competitive worldwide.
32:40The estate tax is going to go up, unrealized capital gains.
32:44I mean, they're talking about the largest tax increase in American history.
32:48Correct me if I'm wrong.
32:49Is it the highest dollar amount in the tax increase in the history of the world?
32:54Yeah.
32:55You know, someone asked me the other day, is it the biggest tax increase in American
32:59history?
33:00I said, no, this is the biggest tax increase, as you just said, Sean, in the history of
33:06modern society.
33:07We've never seen anything like this.
33:08By the way, I don't even think that Kamala Harris knows what a capital gain is.
33:12I don't think she knows what fracking is.
33:14I mean, this is a woman who's never worked for a business, just like her running mate.
33:20Most of the people, we just did a study showing most of the people surrounding her know nothing
33:24about business.
33:25They've never, not only have they never started a business, Sean, these people have never
33:29even worked for a business.
33:30They're all either academics, government employees, community organizers, people who don't know
33:35how business works.
33:37And I think that's, I hope when people go to the polls in November, they think about
33:42this.
33:43Who is better to manage this economy?
33:44A guy who's built great businesses, became a billionaire, employed thousands and thousands
33:49of people, or someone like Kamala Harris who's never even worked for a business in her entire
33:55career.
33:56It's amazing, actually.
33:57And by the way, and what has she done?
34:00You know, she acts like day one is January 20th, 2025.
34:04Day one was January 20th, 2021.
34:07Even, you know, Trump critic and Kamala's supporter, Mark Cuban, you know, I've had
34:13him on the program.
34:14He's a nice guy.
34:15I don't understand it, but he thinks that her plan will kill the stock market.
34:21And my question is, if she's going to kill the stock market, how can you vote for her?
34:25Yep.
34:26I mean, when you're talking about raising the corporate tax rate, raising the capital
34:31gains tax rate to as high as it's been in 50 years, by the way, we would have under
34:38the Kamala plan, we would go back to having some of the highest tax rates in the world.
34:42We're supposed to be the land of the free.
34:44We're supposed to be the place that people come to, to avoid high taxes.
34:48And to my liberal friends who keep saying, well, tax rates don't matter.
34:52Then why is it, Sean, that everybody is leaving New York?
34:55They're leaving New Jersey.
34:56They're leaving California.
34:58They're leaving my home state of Illinois, the highest tax states.
35:00And where are they going?
35:01Where you are in Florida and Tennessee and Texas and Utah.
35:04I mean, it is a perfect example that taxes do matter.
35:08We want to make America look more like Florida and Texas and Tennessee.
35:12Kamala, frankly, she wants to make America look like San Francisco.
35:17If they implement this, then people are probably going to start leaving the country and that's
35:22right.
35:23You know, tax saving countries.
35:24And I could see that happening.
35:26And you know, I never got a job from a poor person my entire life.
35:30Never once when I had no money, you know, all those jobs in the restaurant business,
35:34all the jobs in construction.
35:35Yeah, I got hired by people that had some money.
35:38All right, Steve Moore.
35:40Coming up next, a new twist in Hunter Biden's federal tax case is a presidential pardon
35:46on the way we get reaction from Alan Dershowitz and Miranda Devine straight ahead.
