Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Here is our toll
free telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program. At is eight hundred and ninety four
one Sean if you would like to join us. We
had the successful splashdown of SpaceX Dragon and the safe
return of these astronauts abandoned for two hundred and eighty
(00:22):
six days, and you would think that maybe there'd be
a little good will towards Elon Musk, but no. The
attacks and the domestic terrorism, as far as I'm concerned,
is ongoing and continues. We now have the FBI involved.
A Washington Times reporting separate arsenal attacks that took place
(00:45):
Tuesday at Tesla dealerships in Vegas and Kansas City prompted
the FBI to launch a terrorism investigation. As the wave
of vandalism against Tesla and it's CEO Elon Musks now
now gotten so far out of control. You have bullets
being fired into Tesla dealerships, you have charging stations put ablaze,
(01:08):
you have Teslas in parking lots of dealerships. They're being
put on fire. And in Vegas, the official set of
mail suspect used the molotov used Molotov cocktails to set
two Tesla cars on fire about two forty five am.
He fired three bullets into cars on the lot, spray
(01:28):
painted the word resist on the dealer's front door. And
the report comes only hours after a pair of cyber
trucks were destroyed in a suspected arson late Monday night
in Kansas City. According to police there, and leaders in
Vegas said they're looking for at the incident as a
possible act of terrorism because it has the hallmarks of
(01:48):
a politically motivated attack. To those that think that something
like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want
to let you know it's a federal crime. According to
Spencer Evans, the FBI Vegas Special Agent in charge, we
will come after you, we will find you, we will
prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. The
Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has vowed to impose severe consequences
(02:12):
on those who are bankrolling the Tesla takedown terrorists, and
she announced Tuesday that the DOJ has charged several of
the terrorists who have been targeting Tesla vehicles in company property,
while vowing to impose quote severe consequences on those operating
behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes. She said.
(02:32):
The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing
short of domestic terrorism. The DOJ has already charged several
perpetrators with that in mind, including in the cases that
involve charges with five year mandatory minimum sentences. We will
continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in
these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes. Apparently I
(02:57):
didn't see Jimmy Kimmel. Very few people see Jimmy Kimmel
report on Media Eye today that Jimmy Kimmel. Now, this
is the same guy that mocked for when she was
first Lady the first time Milania Trump reading to children.
This is a guy forget you know that that literally, uh,
(03:17):
not black face, but his entire body. Uh, he turned
into an African American and started mocking Karma alone. This
is the same guy that in the past has put
protruding you know, cucumbers, et cetera in his pants and
walked around and asked strangers to touch it. Then he
(03:38):
goes on his low rated show and every one of
these late night so called comedy shows are on cancelation
watches is probably at the top of the list. And
you know, he took a dry, sarcastic tone to inform
people they should not be vandalizing Tesla vehicles. People have
been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don't vandalize.
(04:00):
Don't ever vandalize Tesla vehicles, he said, before taking a
long pause and moving on to other musk jokes while
the audience laughed. Is this funny? By the way? Uh?
I thought I thought Disney was all inclusive? I mean,
this is now the home of radical leftism? And is it?
(04:21):
Does Bob Biker think that this is funny? Does Bob
Biger approve of this? Is Bob Biger proud of this?
Is Bob Biger proud of the lowest rated late night
comedy show on television? Is Bob Biger? Disney? I thought
they were the most inclusive company ever. This is okay
with them, just like the ladies of that hard hitting
(04:42):
show the view, it's not going to be you know,
no consequences. You can you can making it, you can
name basically infer don't do that, don't do that, which
is kind of how I interpreted it. To be. We
now have a doxing win website that has been put up.
It's called the doge Quest reportedly has published the personal
(05:06):
information of Tesla owners nationwide in an apparent bid to
shame and intimidate them. As Elon Musk now ties with
the Trump White House have grown. This site reportedly reveals
the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners throughout
the country, using an interactive map and using the image
(05:27):
of a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. The site's operators,
who also posted the exact locations of Tesla dealership, that
they will remove identifying information about Tesla drivers only if
they provide proof that they sold their electric vehicles. News
of this doxing site follows a string of reported incidents
(05:47):
of vandalism aimed at Tesla drivers dealerships. What is again?
We go back and we ask what has Elon Musk
done to incur this wrath? Why is he hated at
such a high level? This guy yesterday put everything on
the line and his company and he's the chief engineer
(06:09):
and founder, and it remains the chief engineer was in
the beginning and still remains the chief engineer of putting
into space, all of these satellites space X. He'd successfully
sends a rescue you know, rocket ship up into space
to rescue these astronauts that have been abandoned because the
(06:29):
Boeing Starliner was incapable of bringing them home. Made the
same offer to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They turned
him down. Rather, they chose to leave these people in space,
which makes no sense to me. And this is now
the state of affairs in America. This is the same
Democratic Party that if they could to this day, would
(06:50):
still be investigating January sixth, you know, with their phony
you know, made for prime time, predetermined outcome hearings that
we all know were phony, and that they purposely omitted
information that would have been critical in terms of the
public's understanding of the events that day. The five people
(07:11):
that are on record saying that Donald Trump authorized the
use of Guard forces in the days leading up to this,
Muriel Bowser and writing denying the use of guard troops.
It became her authority, not Donald Trump's authority. Does that
sound like somebody that planned an insurrection? And of course
the Capitol Police chief was never brought in the driver
(07:33):
who was driving President Trump that day, they'd rather use
a hearsay witness rather than the actual driver who they
knew testified that Donald Trump never tried to commandeer the vehicle.
And what happened about the five hundred and seventy four
riots in the summer of twenty twenty, The mostly peaceful
riots that killed two dozen Americans, injured thousands of cops,
and cost billions in property damage. A twenty six year
(07:56):
old Trump hater with the SI They pro has been
charged with felony criminal damage to property in a misdemeanor
criminal trespass after allegedly vandalizing a newly built Tesla sales
service delivery center with graffiti targeting Donald Trump, elon Musk
and supporting trans rights. I mean this is a resident
(08:17):
of Chicago, the suburb of Buffalo Grove arrested on charges
of doing all of this. You have hapless anti Musk
activists now set himself on fire attacking a South Carolina
Tesla charging station with Molotov cocktails. One old man caught
on video keying Tesla cars arrested for a felony caught
(08:40):
on video being a Tesla in San Jose, California. He's
been arrested for an active felony vandalism. This is just
the news, by the way I'm giving you today. Anti
Tesla protests are being fueled by apparently, you know, these
five specific groups has identified in the New York Post.
I'll get to that in a second. Elon Musk's cyber
(09:01):
truck is you know, a pair of Rice University professors
are saying that the cyber truck is reminiscent of a
vehicle that patrolled and terrorized black townships and apartheid South Africa.
I mean, why these why are these professors even working
if they're that stupid anyway, So you know, we'll see
where this goes. But it's not looking good. And you
(09:22):
have to ask, oh, you mean the guy that rescued astronauts,
the guy that's looking for a way to help people
that are blind get their site back, people with spinal
cord injuries to walk again. A guy that stepped up
and donated Starlink so people without communications in North Carolina
and Tennessee and California after the wildfires and after the
(09:44):
Hurricane Helene and and gave them communications when they had
none with the outside world. You have to ask yourself, well,
what is the purpose of all of this, Why are
they doing this? Uh, it's it's really pathetic and it's
really sad. Add The New York Post had an article
the five radical leftist groups that are protesting Elon Musk,
(10:09):
and it goes on to describe them in great specificity
and great detail. And you know, the investigation they found
identified five Act Blue funded groups responsible for TESLA protests,
and that would be Disruption Project, Rise and Resist, Indivisible Project,
(10:30):
the Democratic Socialists of America. And we do not direct, coordinate,
or dictate strategies or activities of the organizations we support,
set a statement from the Open Society Foundation. The Open
Society Foundation supports a broad range of nonprofit organizations that
work to strengthen democracy and promote non violence, civic engagement. Well,
(10:54):
what of money that they're giving is being used for
nefarious purposes? Would they stop giving the money anyway? This
Indivisible Project, you know, the group took him seven point
six million from Open Society between twenty seventeen and twenty
twenty three. Originally set up in twenty sixteen to protest
the election of Donald Trump, They've almost been entirely funded
(11:17):
by Soros's Open Society. You know at what point, you know,
we'll see what they know and when they knew it,
if they knew anything. Doge has now found fourteen magic
money computers that create cash out of thin air. That's
a pretty scary scenario, but it's happening anyway. They apparently,
(11:41):
you know, apparently said this in Ted Cruz's podcast. One
of the things you told me about magic money computers.
You may think government computers all talk to each other,
they all synchronize, they all add up what funds are
going somewhere, and it's coherent, and that the numbers you're
presented as a senator are actually real. He said they
are not. He said the number could be off by
(12:01):
anywhere from five percent upwards. And any computer which can
just make money out of thin air, that's magic money.
He's not wrong in saying that either network coverage of
the Tesla terror attacks at best would be mixed. In
other words, the state run legacy media mob just continues
(12:23):
to protect the radical left. Tesla attack in Vegas has
some of the hallmarks of terrorism, according to the FBI,
And it just goes on and on and on. And
you know, one other thing here in this fits into
what we've been telling you there are these protests, protesters
showing up at these town halls for Republican congress people,
(12:45):
and then the media picks up on a Republican congress
people get into earful because they support Elon Musk. Know
that this is not organic when now discovering that those
protesters are part of organizations, radical left wing organizations that
are sabotaging these town halls instead of giving questions to
(13:11):
real constituents, and that they're given talking points and they're
designed to create as much trouble and confrontation as they
possibly can. So if you see that on TV and
the fake news media and the state run legacy media
mob is lying to you, just know that the odds
are very high. That is not real. You know, forget that.
(13:33):
You see all of this, all the danger, all the
risk that he took yesterday to get these astronauts home,
and you would think that there'd be some goodwill, but
apparently not. He's working on the cutting edge of technology
to improve people's lives. Great, you know, it's unreal. By
the way, you can win a tesla here on this show.
I don't want you to be on a list though,
(13:54):
but I don't know if I can prevent that anyway,
you can win a tesla. Every day you my lik
as soon as we'll have a chance to enter the
keyword of the show. I'll give it out numerous times
during the day, and I'll give out the word of
the day. You'll go to Hannity dot com and the
contest page. It will take you to the entrance page
and you can answer. You can enter once a day.
(14:16):
You're going to have to give some information that's just
part of part of it. Today's word is are you
ready for it? SpaceX? Okay, SpaceX. It's one word. We're
making it. Donald Trump has frozen one hundred and seventy
five million dollars in funding to the University of Pennsylvania.
(14:36):
They suspended this money over their inclusion of transgender athletes
and women's sports. According to Fox Business, the Ivy League
university now stands at risk of losing all of their
federal funding amid an investigation into potential Title nine violations.
A senior Administration official told Fox Business that the administration
(14:57):
has paused one hundred and seventy five million federal funding.
This did not account for UPenn's total federal funding, which
the university previously reported last year of around of billion dollars.
All of these schools, by the way, they have massive
billion dollar endowments. They have a ton of money. Now
(15:18):
on the Columbia front, we have an update. Columbia University,
according to the Wall Street Journal, is getting close to
yielding to President Trump's demands and negotiations to restore four
hundred million dollars in federal funding. According to people close
to the discussions, Columbia has until Thursday who agree to
nine far reaching demands by the Trump administration. The government
(15:41):
canceled the grants and the contracts over campus anti semitism
allegations earlier this month, but gave the university a review period.
The demands include banning masks, empowering campus police, putting the
school's Department of Mid East, South Asian and African Studies
under academic reviewership, I'm sorry, receivership, which means it would
(16:02):
no longer be controlled by the faculty. Columbia's acquiescence would
represent a significant moment in the growing battle between Trump
and these elite universities. This is going to be interesting
to watch. I think they're going to cave on the
issue of judges. We are seeing more and more judicial
(16:23):
activism than I can think of in our lifetime. We
saw weaponization of our justice system under Biden and Harris.
We saw the abuse and the politicizing and weaponization of
the FBI and our intel community. Now it's just taken
on a different form. I know that Pam Bondi, the
AGS told has had told the Obama deportation judge tell
(16:48):
them to fly back from wherever they are in the air.
This idiot, anyway, he made demands the judge of DOJ
lawyers after they refused his directive to turn around planes
already in the air. They were deporting Venezuelan and Trende
Aragua gang members. And they know. And the argument we've
(17:11):
gone through this in great specificity, in detail, is not
only perfectly legal, it is not something that is up
for judicial review. It's called the Alien Enemies Act. If
you're interested. Yes, it was passed by Congress and signed
in the law in seventeen ninety eight. It's been used
by not one, but by four separate presidents. It is
(17:33):
well established, has never been repealed, has been reviewed by
courts numerous times. War presidents invoked it, and moreover, the
act is not allowed and not limited to wartime authority.
President Woodrow Wilson Harry Truman used the Act you know
well after both World Wars had ended. The AEA, as
(17:53):
it's called, permits a president who ordered the arrest and
removal without a court hearing of alien enemies whenever there
is a declared war or any predatory incursion perpetrated, attempted,
or threatened against the United States. Trende IRAGUA is a
designated terrorist organization. Now, a predatory incursion is broadly defined
(18:19):
as entry into the US for purposes that are contrary
to the nation's interest or laws. As Greg Jared points out,
the language gives the president broad latitude in his core
duty as commander in chief to protect the safety and
security of you, the American people. In nineteen forty eight,
the US Supreme Court itself uphold Truman's use of the
(18:42):
AEA and ruled that the law itself was in fact constitutional.
This is Luddog versus Watkins. Importantly, the High Court stated
a president's decision under the Act precludes judicial review of
the removal order. In other words, a judge cannot second
guess the president. The Court explained the very nature of
(19:05):
the president's power to order the removal of all enemy
alien aliens rejects the notion that courts may pass judgment
upon exercise of his discretion. The Supreme Court ruling is
called precedent, and it's embraced by the political question doctrine,
that is that federal courts may not intervene in presidential
(19:28):
decision making that is inherently political in nature, such as
the conduct of foreign affairs and national security, because of
the powers that he has under the Constitution. And it
couldn't be any more clear about the Alien Enemies Act.
Couldn't be any more clear. But they don't care. Pam
Bondi is vowed to defy this crackpot Obama judge who
(19:50):
halted these deportation flights. And I think in the end
they're going to be successful. I think they're going to
be very successful, and I think they should be successful.
Now it gets a little more complicated because now they're
using the courts repeatedly to go after any decision that
Donald Trump is making. In other words, what I've said
(20:12):
always about the left in this country, what they cannot
get done at the ballot box electorally, what they can't
get done legislatively. Then they turned to liberal activist judges
to get done for them, and they rule Visa v.
Executive Fiat from the bench. And that's what we witnessed
(20:32):
this week, and we see it happening again and again
and again. And Obama pointed January sixth case judge block
Trump and his EPA from clawing back Biden's twenty billion
dollar green slush fund. Of this judge, you know, in
this particular case, you might remember Tanya Chunkin. She was
(20:52):
involved in the case with Jack Smith, and the EPA
gave no legal justification for why he tried to reclaim
the money or given the recipients of the money no
chance to object or challenge the decision. He's just anguished.
She lost. Alan Drshowitz has urged Congress to block the
rogue judges from issuing nationwide injunctions against Trump's policies. Is
(21:15):
that I think Congress can do more to curtail the
jurisdiction of the courts. They can pass a statute saying
a district court has jurisdiction only to grant an injunction
that covers his district to his circuit. You can't have
a judge in New York telling people in California what
to do, to use the example that was used by
the administration, and you can't have a judge in Awy
(21:36):
telling soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan that they can't engage
in warfare. Congress clearly has the authority. It could abolish
the district courts all over the country, and it can
say we don't have any more district courts. But this
effort now to use the courts as getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
The President, in his interview with Laura Ingram last night,
responded to Chief Justice John Robe Roberts, seemingly rebuking him
for supporting impeachment. He said, well, that's what the appellate
court process is all about. Why would Justice Robert ignore
Supreme Court precedents on his own? We learned more about
the judge. He began working to thwart Trump's agenda. Apparently
(22:19):
we've just discovered. According to the Daily Wire, they report
that his wife was funneling thousands of dollars to Hillary
Clinton and to other Democrats. Gee, what a shock, what
a surprise. He donated eleven thousand dollars to Democratic candidates
according to federal data. This is just like the case
of New York that Donald Trump had to go through,
(22:39):
and the Supreme Court, if anything, should be stepping in
and supporting their own precedents. They set the precedent. Why
wouldn't they be supporting their precedent. Another judge has said
dismantling of USAID was unconstitutional, ordering Elon Musk to restore
access for employees. This US Strict judge ordered Musk and
(23:02):
the and Doge to immediately give USAID employees access to
their email, payment, security notification, and other electronics systems. The
judge wrote that Musk takeover or surp the authority of
the public's elected representatives. Well, it's supported. We have a
duly elected president who's empowered him to do so. You know,
(23:23):
even El Salvador, if you look at the president of
l Salvador, he actually said that the US is facing
a judicial coup. He's not that far off, you know.
That's why I've found Roberts rebuke of Trump just obnoxious.
He's not even he's not even looking at core precedents.
You look at anybody that's up for a US Supreme
(23:44):
Court position, they always say will you respect precedents? Yes
you will. On the economic front, the White House is hanling.
The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs has dropped
forty seven percent since they took off office. That is
a massive drop. And the price of gasoline now has
(24:07):
also gone down significantly, which is good for the pockets
of hard working men and women in this country. The
nationwide average for gas has declined four straight weeks, down
ten cents from one month ago, forty two cents from
a year ago. Remember when Donald Trump was president, gas
never got over, never got to three dollars on average
a gallon, and now a gallon of gasoline on average
(24:30):
is two dollars and ninety nine cents. I actually paid
that in Florida this past weekend. After I get my Tesla,
I won't have to. After one of you wins yours,
you won't have to worry about it either. We are
on official cancelation watch, not only for late night shows,
but for Chucky Schumer. Things and not going particularly well
(24:51):
for him. One senior House Democrat says, Chucky is his
popularity is hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus.
Chuck Schumer writes a campaign ad for the GOP and
mocks greedy Americans that want less taxes, less government and control,
less government control. I'm like, yeah, just keep going, Chuck,
(25:13):
You're doing great. Now. Schumer is facing a growing house
Democrats and their calls for him to step down. I
would argue that in many ways his days are numbered.
I mean, if you look at John Stewart, he tore
him a new one, tore into him as being a
feckless Democrat, not doing enough to take on Trump and
the Republicans. What was he supposed to do? Shut down
(25:33):
the government? Ro Conna said of Schumer, deep disappointment among
many Democrats who are fed up with the old guard.
Then you can look to, you know, Chuck Schumer getting
excoriated by Gail King and excoriated by Sonny Houston. Sonny
Houston saying to him that that he caved on the
(25:56):
view that hard hitting news show the time. He couldn't
be worse for him. He's got some book that he's
out trying to sell. Now he's had to cancel all
the events because he's getting embarrassed everywhere he goes, you know,
and then he's trying to defer Democrats strategy is to
keep fighting until Trump's approval numbers continue to decline.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Is that you don't Democrats, Well, let me say this,
and we're going to do this day in day out
on issues. Why are they doing tariffs and raising your
cost two thousand dollars? It's beginning to work. Why are
they taking away Fanny and Freddy and raising your housing
costs dramatically? It's beginning to work. His numbers have come down.
If we keep at it every day, relentless fighting and
(26:37):
showing how they're hurting people so badly, Trump's numbers will
get much lower, and his both popularity but also his
effectiveness will decline. That I believe that strategy will work.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh, the strategy is to drive his approval ratings down
by demonizing Trump. Didn't they do that during the entire
presidential campaign. Even Nancy Pelosi, co conspirator along with Barack
Obama to depose Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, said,
I myself don't give away anything for nothing. And of
(27:13):
course she was working behind the scenes to try and
influence Senate Democrats not to go along with Schumer. And
now you've got liberal media voices also furious at Schumer
for trying to avert the shutdown and the person that's
getting praise. Chris Hayes over at MSDNC literally made Schumer
(27:34):
watch a montage of Democrats ripping him. Take a listen, Chuck,
This book tour is working out really well for him.
James Carvil says Kamala Harris didn't give a reason to
vote for her, but as a lot what has to
be a lot better candidate. In twenty twenty eight, oh
you want the seven string quarterback back? And Carvil offered
(27:55):
love advice to young progressive He said love is blind
and the political blow up. Really, I think James is
kind of losing his mind. He's losing his fastball. I mean,
when I had him on TV the last time, he
was not the same person that I remembered. You have
a lot of anger and frustration. So far, they've only
(28:15):
released some of the jfk assassination files. I'm waiting for
all of it to get released before I make a judgment.
But we did get thousands of pages released, but they've got,
you know, tens of thousands more to go. I mean,
we might get more today and we'll see what happens
with that. Radio Free Europe is suing the Trump administration
(28:36):
and carry lake over the defunding. And here's the problem, PBS,
you know why are we funding PBS and MPR. PBS actually,
according to NewsBusters, is suggesting a third impeachment for Trump's
immigration policies. On PBS's News Hour, their White House correspondent
had an eventful show. Within a span of two minutes,
(28:58):
she managed to admit that a recently deported visa holder
admitted to attending Hezbalah leader Hassan Nasralla, who Israel took out,
went to this guy's funeral and interviewed a law professor
who suggested Trump's immigration policies should merit a third impeachment.
(29:20):
Atlantic magazine accusing Trump of avoiding reporters after his call
with Putin. This guy talks to the media every single day.
What are they talking about. I don't know. They've lost
their minds. If they want to be the party that
won't stand for mothers that lost children and a young
man that survived cancer or the first lady, and they
(29:41):
want to hold up Bingo cards and stand for men's
rights to play women's sports and the rights of illegals,
over the safety of Americans and spending hundreds of billions
of dollars abroad on left wing radicalism. Let him be
that party. You can't fix that and drive numbers down
with those positions. All right, taxis and is here. I
know we're all probably tired of numbers, but look, AT's
(30:03):
important you pay your taxes. Whether you'd like to hear
it or not. I want to give you a number.
Sixteen point five billion dollars. That's how much money and
refunds the IRS flag for possible identity fraud last year.
Here's another number, twenty percent. That's the overall increase in
identity theft related tax fraud in twenty twenty four alone.
(30:26):
If your identity is stolen, LifeLock dot com has US
based restoration specialist. They will fix it for you back
by another good number, a million dollar protection package. In fact,
restoration is guaranteed or your money back right now. If
you go to LifeLock dot com or call one eight
hundred LifeLock, you get up to forty percent off your
first year with the promo code Hannity. That's one eight
(30:48):
hundred LifeLock LifeLock dot Com promo code Hannity forty percent off.
Sean Hannity
