All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour. Toll-free, our number is 800-941-SHAWN 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, the most radical people are there.

Now you have, according to Polymarket, as of yesterday, I haven't checked today, 76% chance that Zoran Marxist-Mandami is going to be the next mayor of New York City. Here's Mandami explaining why Palestine is part of his politics. Listen. This is how we defeat the occupation. Style.

So 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 compared to the U.S. of 40,000 dead Americans in a day.

We lost two thousand nine hundred and seventy seven on 9-11 and 0-1. I'm not sure what part of murder and rape and kidnapping and torture and beheading people like Marxist Mondani 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 going to 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 a 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, that I don't think we should have billionaires. This is going to be great for New York City's economy. Not really. Florida's going to 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. Two.

to each according to their need, from each according to their ability, and as determined by the big hand of government. That is, by definition, Marxism, communism, statism, call it whatever you want.

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's 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, 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 and an acolyte disciple of Chuckie 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 many is it? 10, 20, 30. That's probably in between 20 and 30, somewhere like that. I'm not, I'm not. We're up to where we're up to about seven 60 or seven 70, 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 and door. Thanks.

Let me ask you a question. If I ask you, Chris Hahn, are you against racism? What would you say? I am 100 percent against racism. And you're against anti-Semitism? 100 percent, right? I'm half Jewish. You and I, this may be a rare moment of solidarity. We get along. OK. Is it hard to condemn the global antifada? It is not hard to condemn the global antifada. First, you got to understand what that means, which I don't know that this 33 year old does.

Oh, 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, 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. Attention. Okay. He won, and the poly market has him at 76% chances of yesterday to win the general. What do you call it when...

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 would say that that's a race bait taxation, which I don't race based. No, no, no, no. I think you're I think you're no, no. You're trying to you're trying to water it down. What do you what do you really call it?

I don't like it, is what I call it. 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.

What would you call it? Come on. Help me out here. We'd call it a race. Thank you. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Jeopardy. Now our double Jeopardy question. Are you ready? Wait, hold on a second. Everybody is counting out my former radio partner, Curtis Sliwa, in this election. And I think if he tightens it up a little bit, it's going to 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.

uh... marxist mondami 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 you agree with that i think some of them and and maybe some of them in a better way are 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 long time friend don't say that about my friend i he's my friend too i've known him forever and i've worked with him for years

and i think it's policies are a little bit more in line with what traditional new yorkers think than people think uh... and uh... i i think that counting about at this point in time especially a formal statement i think it called what they did he had a really got twenty eight point five percent four years ago carded

And I know that because I was the first person to talk to him after he lost on the radio. And and he kept saying at 30 and I reminded him it was twenty eight point five. Well, if he could turn that twenty eight point five into thirty two percent, he could win in a four man race. If you could turn it to thirty four percent, he has a chance in a three man race. So I totally agree with you. And I think that's very, very possible, even though Democrats outnumber Republicans nine to one. Well, let me ask you the hard question, because now I'm going to go straight to the heart of it.

What is Chuckie Schumer and Jerry Nadler and people like that, other prominent New Yorkers? Did Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler, did they endorse Mom Donnie?

I didn't see an endorsement. I think they saw an acknowledgment that he won the primary. An acknowledgment? An acknowledgment that he won the primary. He won it in a similar way that Trump won his primary. It was 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 campaigned on things like lowering prices sounded a lot like trump in twenty twenty four i think that the squishy mission middle voted for trump because he said he was a get-down prices and by the way he did not think of a plan you did a trump he just want 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 broadcast i think you read a very successful campaign i

reached out to people the formal campaign the beginning of june thing what are you guys doing you're running eliot spitzer's failed come back for controller campaign and this guy is coming up on you and he's going to pass you could keep exciting and young and hip and you're staying in your you know bunker like like harris did against uh... against trump in twenty twenty four it just doesn't work you've got when you're running for public office you'll

you need to appear in public. All right, quick break. We'll come back. Chuck Schumer's former disciple.

Our friend Chris Hahn of The Chris Hahn Show. More with him on the other side, then we'll get to your calls coming up. Straight ahead, 800-941-SHAWN as we continue. Mike Chris Hahn is with us, host of his own podcast, and he's on a couple of radio stations around the country. And we appreciate him being back with us, friend of Chuck Schumer. Do you not think that this is now a big problem? I know a lot of people in your party have...

They're scratching their heads and they're wondering why they lost money.

in the 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've worked together etc etc he ran an impressive campaign connected with new yorkers about affordability fairness and opportunity where is he where is his criticism about the issues we just discussed

Why isn't Chuck Schumer? I'm going to tell you what the answer is, but I'm not even going to ask you because you're too close to him and you're not going to want to hear it. Chuck Schumer is afraid of Mamdani. 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 going to tell me I'm wrong, but you know deep down in your heart I am dead on accurate. I think that in a campaign, Trump, Chuck Schumer would beat any comer for his wrong. You're wrong.

All right, then put your money where your mouth is. If AOC primaries him, I'll take that bet.

All right. Steak dinner, baby. You're on your, but no bigger. I want it to hurt. And all Long Island Rothmans. 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 they deems it necessary, raise property taxes, corporate taxes. He wants to quote tax the rich at record levels. Uh,

Do you believe in replacing police with social workers? Because that's what he wants to do. Do you believe in free buses and government-operated grocery stores? Do you think that we should have free child care so we can indoctrinate kids from the moment they're born? Do you think that each new parent should get a goodie bag with...

Resources, diapers, baby wipes. Do you think that you do? What is wrong with giving child care to people? What is wrong with... Nothing. Why don't you Democrats get together and generously donate it if you see a need? Tax deductions for all sorts of things in this country. 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 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's

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. He had a lot of accomplishments in this

All right. Last question. What you got to do, you got to you got to focus on what people care about at the time. And you're going to say, look, this is what I care about. All right. So here's where we are. You're supporting Mom Dommy. 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 cut tax on tips and overtime.

They allowed the border to be invaded over the last four years, and Democrats lied about it. That allowed in terrorists and murderers and rapists and cartel and gang members. You have a party that's against energy dominance, a 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 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. Tax. 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 going to 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. We get it. There are too many car insurance companies trying to convince you that they have the best car insurance rates. We don't think we need to convince you. We're rude, and we do car insurance differently. We don't think it makes sense to only base your car insurance rate on things that have nothing to do with your driving, like your occupation or education.

When you take the test drive using the Route app, we price your car insurance rate primarily on how you drive. It's that easy. Just download the Route app, drive around like you normally would for a couple of weeks, and get a quote based primarily on how you actually drive.

Good drivers could save up to $900 a year when they switch to Root. We're taking an old industry and making it fair. Root Insurance, because better drivers deserve better rates. Download the app today and see how much you could save. Terms and conditions apply, subject to underwriting review. See Root.com for details.

All right, I didn't want to rush you off the air. Chris Hahn, I kid him because Chris is actually a pretty good guy for a liberal, but he's crazy. Are you still best for BFF with Chucky? I wouldn't say I'm BFF, but I am still part of the Schumer family, without a doubt. Okay, I bet he wasn't sad when I left town. Did he make any comments to you, like, I'm so glad he left a couple of years ago? Oh, he called me up. He said, you know, Chuck, Sean Hannity left town, Christopher. What's going on in 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 voice. That is funny. Chuck doesn't seem to like me. He's never come on my show. He doesn't like me. I don't dislike the guy, but here's the fundamental problem for Chuck, and you're just denying the reality of it.

So you have Marxist Mondani win this 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, murderers, 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

A taxpayer funded college tuition for illegals. Then, of course, he wanted gender affirming care without parental consent. This guy and then he wanted to put tampons in grade school boys bathrooms. If that makes you know, if that's your policy.

And now you've 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 across the board and promote the trans agenda, raise the minimum wage to 30 bucks. Then he wants to eliminate all guns in New York. And I,

uh swears that he's going to fight ice and deportation and uh i'm just trying to understand 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-based appeals. That's why Trump won. That's why Mondami 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 wealth. Respectfully, you're not addressing where your party is, championing the rights of men to play women's sports.

putting the rights of the illegals like a brago garcia over the safety of others address the real issues the party the democratic party

needs 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 perspectives.

popular uh 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? Trump? I don't know. Rounding up people that are making your bagels in the morning and nobody. Nobody's. No, they're trying. They're deporting people like in Los Angeles. They were arresting child molesters, murderers, gang members and other violent criminals. Do you do you think that Harris and Biden did the right thing? But with open borders and Chuck sat by, I sat idly by and did nothing. Do you think that was the right call?

I think that there was a piece of legislation that would have solved this problem that Trump stopped. Oh, Trump wasn't in office. This is Biden's policy.

stopped the bill that 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 uh 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 closed, the borders secure. They lied and said inflation is transitory. They lied and said that Joe was not cognitively impaired. When did you notice a cognitive impairment?

Well, look, I wasn't in the campaign, but... And ask you if you're in the campaign. I'm not in the campaign, and 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 did 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, 2019.

And I started saying, not 2019, 2022. I started thinking in that regard of 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. 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 when I 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 2019 when Trump was. You think Tim Walz was it 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 blot. It was. No. And taxpayer-funded tuition for illegals, was that a good policy? 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. They were doing it for dreamers who people actually, if you poll them, want to see them stay here.

OK, so 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, a session speech? Why couldn't they stand for the for the mother, Alexis Nungary, who we've interviewed on the show?

who lost her 12-year-old little daughter 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 have? Doesn't that show a lack of heart, soul, and a conscience? I think when somebody loses a loved one,

You want to respect them and have empathy. But your party didn't. What does that tell you about your party, your 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.

I mean, is reception bad in Texas or wherever you are today? I mean, in New York we hear. But it is something they should have done. 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 mantra of issues that are broad. I'm going to 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. I don't know why. 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's. Just come back. I'll give you a pass. I love Rothman's. The guys 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 going to 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 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 going to try and fight it out. And it's not going to be pretty for him. We'll see, Sean. We'll see. Maybe that gets it. New York. No, never. I'm not. Not happening. Not coming back. I am gone.

Sold my house. I don't have a house there. I got a spare room. You could crash here. No, I'd rather forget it. I get a free hotel room at Roosevelt Hotel. That's the city. They'll give it to you. You'll fit in perfectly. 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 the problem is you can't with Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Mamdani, the Marxist. You can't. You cannot recover. Kamala Harris, 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. I don't like... Everyone in your party hates Trump. Nobody... They all hate him. Look, I think... Hate him. I think hate is not worth it. I don't like hating anyone.

Why did they lie about the value? I can go through the chapter and verse. They had no problem with all of the lawfare and weaponization against him. Seems like he's doing a little lawfare of his own right now, don't you think? No.

Oh, no? You don't think the arrest of the congresswoman in New Jersey was warranted? You don't think that... Whoa, whoa, whoa. 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? I think she was doing her job.

And I think that... Disrupting law enforcement? No, I mean... Interfering in their work? That's called obstruction, where I grew up. 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 interfere in law enforcement in the middle of an operation.

There was no operation going on. There actually was. You're wrong. Okay. Well, let's see what the court says. But it seems like a little lawfare there. It seems like a little lawfare against the Attorney General of New York. It seems like that's going on right now. So if they really think that it was lawfare, maybe they wouldn't engage in law. Do 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 going to get Trump. Is that acceptable to you? I think if there is evidence of a crime, I'm going to get Trump. I'm going to. So I'll become attorney general on a platform. I'm going to get Chris Hahn.

No, look, I think no one is above the law. And I don't think, look. And what law did Trump break? Oh, he was convicted. He was convicted of what? What was the conviction about? It was Trump, first of all, 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 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 God bless you. If you're down in Florida, let me know. When you're freezing up there in the wintertime, give me a call. I will. I'll talk to you soon. 800-941-SHOT. That's going to wrap things up for today. We're going to cover probably tomorrow, considering the 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 him 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, Kristi Noem. They were with the president today. Alligator Alcatraz, Mike Johnson on the big, beautiful bill. Greg Jarrett on the Diddy trial. All coming up. 9 Eastern Hannity on Foxy. Then back here tomorrow. Thank you for making the show possible. This is an I Heart podcast.
