Trump joins Hannity for town hall on Sept. 4, 2024

On September 4, 2024, Donald Trump participated in a town hall event hosted by Sean Hannity on Fox News, where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris regarding her handling of immigration and border security. Trump asserted that Harris was responsible for what he termed 'the worst border in the history of the world,' highlighting the surge in illegal immigration during her tenure. He emphasized that her leadership had led to significant issues at the border, framing it as a critical point of failure in her role as 'border czar.' During the event, Trump also expressed concerns about the potential economic consequences if Harris were to become president, warning of a possible depression reminiscent of 1929. He discussed the implications of his administration's tax cuts expiring in 2025, suggesting that the country would face dire economic challenges if his policies were not continued. In addition to his criticisms, Trump addressed Harris's changing stance on fracking, labeling her as 'dangerous' for her previous commitments against the practice. He reiterated his belief that her inconsistency on energy policy could have severe repercussions for the nation. The town hall served as a platform for Trump to prepare for an upcoming debate with Harris, scheduled for September 10, 2024, in Philadelphia. He indicated that he was ready to confront her on various issues, including her debate preparation, which he claimed involved a conflict of interest due to her attorney's ties to a federal antitrust case involving Google.
