On today's show, Sean Hannity and guest Daniel Cameron, former Kentucky Attorney General, react to President Trump signing an executive order officially designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Caroline Levitt emphasized the administration's commitment to law and order, citing rising incidents of Antifa-linked violence and contrasting Trump's action with prior administrations' inaction. Cameron praises Trump's America First approach, framing this move as putting citizen safety and free speech above partisan politics, while critiquing the left's lack of a coherent response. Guest highlights include Cameron's insights on the administration's push for security, reform, and a merit-based society demonstrating why this executive order and new doctrine matter for Americans concerned about safety and leadership.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news, roundup, information, overload our toll free on

(00:02):
numbers eight hundred nine four one sean, if you want
to be a part of the program, Let's go to
Caroline Levitt talking about President Trump intending to designate Antifa
as a domestic terrorist organization.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Here's what she said.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Antifa is going to be designated a domestic terrorist organization.
The President intends to sign that executive order very soon,
as soon as it's drafted, as soon as today, late
later this afternoon. And this is something the President campaigned
on because we have seen a rise in violence perpetuated
by Antifa, radical people across this country who subscribe to

(00:41):
this group, and unfortunately it's gone widely uncovered by many
in the legacy media. It also went completely ignored by
the previous administration. Not anymore. Not only, as you mentioned,
were the bullet casings subscribe with Antifa mottos if you will,
in the heinous assassination of Charlie. But there have also
been more examples than I could read off for you

(01:02):
here in this briefing room today of violence from Antifa.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
All right, So the President signed this executive order yesterday
designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. In his un speech,
as you just heard, the President also making it very
very clear that these narco terrorist drug dealing boats are
going to continue to be blown out of the water.

(01:27):
They're not going to have free reign to bring these
drugs into the US that is killing hundreds of thousands
of Americans every single year. And the order comes after
the President tees slapping a terror label on this radical
anti fascist group last week. The reality is we also

(01:48):
have to get to the funding of these organizations.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Here to weigh in on the President's decision, former Kentucky
Attorney General now CEO of the seventeen ninety two Exchange,
Daniel Cameron with us.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Daniel, welcome back, sir.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
How are you, Henny, Thank you so much for having
me on. And man, Caroline Levitt, I mean Carolyn Levit
said it's the best, I mean, not anymore in terms
of allowing these organizations, in particular Antifa, to reign terror
over our communities. And excited to see that the President

(02:24):
is not only you know when he was a campaign
and he talked about wanting to be a law and
order president and returning us to a civil society where
we respect each other and we don't antagonize each other
or threaten violence. And he's going right at the heart
of it with this executive order targeted at Antifa, and
I'm glad to see it.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I'm kind of shocked that some people on the left
have been critical of this idea. Is it because politically
they feel that they get support from them?

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Well, look, I think at the end of the day,
the farm Loow and the Democrats are tied in knots
about how to respond to this moment. You know, they
want to cast aside what happened, the traumatic events that
unfolded in Utah just you know, almost a couple of
weeks ago. They don't know how to talk about Charlie

(03:17):
Kirk's assassination. They don't know how to have their Sister
Soldier moment as Bill Clinton had in the nineties. They
don't know how to wrangle this far left lunacy that
has metastasized on their side of the aisle, and it's
playing out in real time. But what President Trump is

(03:38):
doing is again showing up on the eighty percent side
of an issue that Americans care about. They care about
safety and security, they care about our founding principle of
the First Amendment, the ability to be able to speak
and advocate and articulate your position or viewpoint and do

(04:00):
it in a way that doesn't as a response mean
that you're met with violence. And the tragedy is that
when Charlie Kirk would go to these universities, all he
wanted to do was engage in a dialogue with folks
that didn't agree with him and maybe at the end
of the day persuade them to his cause. And he
was gunned down for it. And it's a tragedy. I'm

(04:21):
glad President Trump and the Trump administration are trying to
respond to this moment in a way that is meaningful insignificant.
And the Left, simply whether it's because of funding streams
or what have you, does not have a cojin response
to this moment. And that's why they're failing as a
party because they do not know how to meet a
moment and meet a crisis, whereas the Republican Party and

(04:44):
President Trump are understanding how we tackle and resolve these
issues that are plaguing our society.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
You know, I will tell you, I don't know if
you had an opportunity to watch the speech that we
played in the last hour of the president at the
UN today. Actually, in many ways, I think it was
like beyond the Trump doctrine, almost like a Trump manifesto,
and it dealt with every issue that the world is facing.

(05:11):
And what was amazing to me about it is how
this president understands the might and the leadership role of
the United States and he wants to use it for good.
He was very very clear in that message he wants
to bring peace. He's thinking out of the box. He
shatters you know, all status quo establishment thinking. I'm not

(05:36):
sure we'll ever see this again in our lifetime. This
is what I meant, you know, all the after the
election saying transformational, consequential. This was not just a consequential speech.
It was also a speech that showed what has been
done in the last you know, since he's gotten back
in office. And I don't care if it's bringing peace

(05:56):
around the globe. I don't care if it's transforming the
mindset on trade and immigration or energy. And he challenged
you know, every every single illusion that has been out there,
and I've read mindset that has been established that has failed,
and he's vowing to conquer at all.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
You are exactly right. I mean, isn't it refreshing to
have a president in the United States that is standing
up on the world stage and speaking a doctrine that
puts the American citizen first and recognizes our role in
the global the opportunity to be a part of the

(06:40):
global stage, but also doing it from a position of
strength and focusing on the American people. It often kind
of reminds you of of Teddy Roosevelt, who used the
bully foolpit in a way that better the lives of
our citizens, protected our borders, and ensured that we played
a dominant role in the global positioning of our adversaries

(07:06):
in our allies. And I mean, there's no better picture
of the America First Agenda than the fact that just
a short few weeks ago the President had so many
leaders of Allied countries at the White House trying again
to solve this complex issue around Ukraine and Russia, and

(07:27):
he continues to use the bullypool pit effectively to stand
for our citizens, to fight on our behalf to ensure
that this country in this world. I mean, to his
point during the speech, I mean, he has basically been
the lynchpin for stopping so many things globally that are

(07:51):
bad from happening, ending wars, pursuing peace agreements. It's all
because of President Trump and his leadership, and we are
better off for well, I think the.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
World will be a safer place. He's also challenging the
world on issues involving biological weapons and on nuclear weapons
and talking about the danger there. The president, you know,
he's he says he doesn't want a peace prize. He
wants peace. He wants the killing to stop. He laid out,
you know, all the different places where the UN has

(08:22):
failed and failed spectacularly, and that they have done nothing.
They can't even get a teleprompter right or an escalator
working correctly. Somewhat amusing, but you know, it kind of
is symbolic of what a failing institution it is. I've
never thought much of the UN.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Look, I mean you said it correctly. I mean this
is a president that has thrown out the playbook and
is daily sort of reimagining, if you will, like, what
this world can look like, what this not only the world,
but you know, more specifically, what this country should look
like and how we can live up to the ideals
of our founding. And this is a president that wants

(09:02):
to ensure that this is a country that is based
on merit and opportunity, that we build up our future
generations on the idea of merit, excellence, intelligence, and integrity,
instead of what the left wants to entrench in our
institutions and namely our academic institutions, these ideas of diversity, equity,

(09:25):
and inclusion. Again, we need merit, excellence, intelligence, and integrity.
This president understands that. And on the global stage, again,
it's great to observe in the context of our full history,
a president that is day in and day out, concerned
about ending wars, finding peace, and pursuing an agenda that

(09:48):
is to the betterment of the citizens of this nation. Again,
it's refreshing, and I'm glad to be seeing it just
like you are.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's kind of shocking in a way to see and
to compair and contrast the last four years versus the
last eight months now not going on nine months now
of the Trump presidency. It is so dramatically different, you know,
everything from a president that talks to the country, talks

(10:16):
to the press, and then bold, innovative, out of the
box thinking solutions, you know, versus you know, this old
tired establishment, woke DEI waste of money, you know, fraud
and abuse at levels we'd never seen before, lying about
economic activity that didn't exist, lying about borders that were

(10:37):
wide open and saying that they're closed, you know, supporting
Defundi's mantle, nobeil reimagine the police. I mean insanity. It's
it is so dramatic. I don't think people are absorbing
the magnitude of change here.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I mean it is a stark change. I mean you
you've you're exactly right. I mean, we had a feeble
president with a brittle administration that was looking backwards as
opposed to forward for the progression of our citizens. And
you had a president and President Biden that wanted to

(11:13):
destroy our fossil fuels industry. I live in Kentucky and
we care deeply about colon natural gas. He wanted to
destroy that energy, those fossil fuels that give us our
energy independence. He wanted to essentially put in place of
merit and opportunity, as I spoke about earlier, he wanted

(11:34):
to put in these concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion
that are weaponized terms that are meant to divide in
so division in this nation. President Biden wanted to get
rid of and the left wing Zealots wanted to get
rid of the law enforcement community in a way that

(11:54):
meant that, you know, we would have a different approach
to how we look at all in order. President Trump
is done away with all that. And maybe the most
important thing is this is a president of action. I mean,
to your point, he's constantly engaging with the press, he's
constantly talking to the American people, and it gives you
a sense not only of pride, but that the head

(12:18):
of state is working day in and day out to
make life, make life better for our people. And this
is a president that's focused on jobs, on the economy,
on our energy independence. Look think of this. Think of
a president that has embraced blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, that is
fighting for the future economy, fighting for the needs of tomorrow. Again,

(12:46):
it's exciting time to live in the United States when
we have this type of leadership that is so focused
on how we can better the lives of our citizens
but also be ready for the economy of tomorrow and
lead on the economy of tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And I'd love to add to that.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, how he just absolutely eviscerated countries' policies on
energy and immigration, et cetera. And he just called him
out and hit him with statistic after statistic. Is a
pretty historic moment here. I mean, this was like a
shock and all speech of all shotgun all speeches.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Well, President Trump is not you know one of the things. Look,
I sometimes will quote scripture in second Corintheans two seventeen.
It says that we are not given a spirit of fear.
We are given a spirit of sound mind, love, and power.
And President Trump is walking in this approach to governing

(13:52):
that is from a spirit of power. It's from a
place of compassion and love for the American people in
wanting to see this country be the best and brightest
version of itself. And it is in a way an
opportunity for him to say, this is what we are
doing to lead the globe. You in, allies, catch up,

(14:16):
follow the United States. This is how we lead, This
is how we move forward, and we can do it together.
And again, it's a it's a monumental in historic presidency
that we're seeing right now.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
He said, it's an opportunity for a reset.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's really how I interpreted it, and that everybody's got
to gotta challenge institutionalized conventional thinking. Anyway, Daniel Cameron, we
do appreciate you great analysis, Thank you for being with us.
Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is a number
if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, I know Kamala Harris is out and I

(14:53):
am I'm sure liberals, you know, some liberals will want
to buy her book and interested in what she has
to say. But especially after President Trump's speech at the
UN today, it just reminds us. And when you compare
and contrast the last four years and you know, wokeism
and deeiism and free sex change operations, taxpayer funded sex

(15:18):
change operations, taxpayer funded free college tuition for illegals, you know,
between Harris and Walls and the things that they supported,
it just it is so stark the comparison. I mean,
Kamala Harris goes right back, She's on you know, the
ms DNC, the conspiracy theory channel, and right back to

(15:43):
where she was when she lost. Trump is a tyrant
and a communist dictator.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Listen, democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy, and
right now we are dealing with as I called him
at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant. We used
to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators.
That's what we're dealing with right now. Donald Trump and

(16:10):
these titans of industry are not speaking up.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
In the titans of industry are not speaking up. What
is she even talking about?

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (16:20):
We're finding out by the way, the Biden administration was
just flat out lying when it comes to issues involving
job numbers, on top of lying about borders, and top
of lying about and cooking the books on safety and security.
It is a sight to behold. I hope America understands this,

(16:42):
you know. I don't know if we'll ever get anybody
quite as strong as President Trump. I hope some of
the people around him are learning from him and can
take this movement forward in the future. I don't think
you ever get another Reagan. You don't get another Trump.
But you want to continue America and its growth and

(17:02):
its strength. And there's nobody that understands the power and
might and impact and influence that the United States is
and using it for the good of the entire world,
and for more importantly, the good of the American people.
He called out everybody. He shattered all of the status quo,

(17:24):
He shattered all conventional and establishment ways of thinking today.
It was pretty spectacular anyway. One more, Harris cut I
was reckless not to challenge Biden on running in twenty
and twenty four, as if anybody cares, and if you
know she's going to be a leader, how do you
not do that? It was so obvious and transparent to everybody.

(17:46):
He could not talk. He was a cognitive mess, and
that everybody covered for him.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
You say in part page forty six, it's Joe and
Jill's decision. We all said that like a mantra, as
if we'd all been hypnotized. Was it grace or was itcklessness?
In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were
simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should have
been left to an individual's ego and individual's ambition. It
should have been more than a personal decision. Whose decision

(18:14):
should that have been? How should that decision have been made?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
So when I write this, it's because I realize that
I have and had a certain responsibility that I should
have followed through on, which is and so when I
talk about the recklessness as much as anything. I'm talking
about myself. There was so much as we know at stake,
and as I write, you know where my head was

(18:42):
at at the time is that it would be completely
it would come off as being completely self serving.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
If you said to President Biden if you did not
think you should run.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Again, yeah, or even if he should question whether it's
a good idea.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Pretty remarkable. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean, if you
want to be a part of the program, Patrick, in
the United Socialist Utopia of California, maybe you can explain
what your governor's doing out there by trying he won't
be successful trying to basically out or docs in a

(19:17):
different sort of way by removing the masks of ice agents.
I don't know what he's thinking, Christy Nola's going to
have a bad day. Don't know what he's thinking there too,
in light of recent events. But you guys elected him
out there, he's your governor. Sean Hannity, Yes, Patrick, what's
going on?

Speaker 7 (19:36):
I'm first time caller, long time listener, and you were
the one who actually turned me to conservatism.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Thank you, well, you're very welcome. How did I do
that just.

Speaker 7 (19:48):
By listening to your show?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I was.

Speaker 7 (19:51):
I started listening in two thousand and eight and I
realized I had buyer's regret from voting for Obama.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
And listen to your showan, Well, thank you for having
an open mind.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Honestly, I mean, I think this show is rooted in simple, basic,
fundamental common sense, and you know, for a lot of people,
when they first hear it, it can be you know,
it challenges the core of their belief system. And then
if they have an open mind, they'll realize, yeah, this

(20:23):
conventional way of thinking doesn't work. And that's that's what
made the speech before the un so special today.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
But go ahead.

Speaker 7 (20:31):
Anyways, I want to say that I'm really perplexed, maybe
a bit angry about what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. I
hear that ABC decide, oh, we're going to put him on,
and I hear again from Sierra. Sierra is like, no,
we're not putting him on. Here from Disney n that's
not happening. And from what I understand is I think

(20:55):
ABC folded because somebody shot at their newsroom and Sacramento
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Not really sure what happened. I can only go by
based on what Disney is saying. And in spite of
what the legacy media mob and Democrats were proclaiming that
Trump caused this, he didn't. And when he said that
Kimmel's next after Colbert's firing, he's making a prediction. And

(21:24):
and then he went on to say, is no talent,
no ratings, and that is you know, he's somebody that
knows television, and that's a pretty pretty fundamental prediction. It's
not hard to figure that out.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Now.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
I guess ABC will never get rid of them, although
I guess these station groups have decided that they're not
going to pick up the show even though Kimmel's coming back,
and they'll be negotiating, I guess with ABC and their
their agreements with ABC.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
Yeah, and you know, I think that, you know, ABC
is somewhat compromised by the left and they really need
to be investigated. And I'd like to see Trump start
terminating some licenses because you know, in the legacy news groups,
you know, what they do is it's ninety ninety five

(22:09):
percent dis favorable to Trump, and even when he does
something really really great, they fail to report it and
then they'll report something really raunchy about Trump that isn't true.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, they do it all the time. But you know,
there is good news in all of this. And I
don't even think it's really necessary for any government involvement.
I understand broadcast networks they have in the public interest obligations,
et cetera. But in the end, the American people have
already decided. You know, when you lose over a million

(22:46):
viewers and you lose seventy two percent of your target demo,
as Jimmy Kimmel has, you know, the economics of it
will drive Disney's ultimate decision in the end, although maybe
they're going to feel compelled to satisfy the crazy liberal
base of their party to keep him on the air,
even though you know, he's a lost leader, meaning a
lost loser, and it just is meaningless to me. You know,

(23:10):
go back to the last election. With everything they threw
with Donald Trump, they were not successful. And the American
people have woken up to the fact that the media
is corrupt and the media lies, and they woke up
to the fact that Democrats are lying. Now the Democrats
are lying about shutting down the government. You know, the
President put out of a truth earlier today, you know,

(23:33):
he's he's not going to meet with Schumer, and and
what's the name, Hakim Jeffries. He said that they're demanding
a trillion dollars in new spending for free health care
for illegals, you know, forcing taxpayers to pay for you know,
transgender surgery, even for miners to have dead people on

(23:53):
Medicaid roles, and allow illegal alien criminals to steal billions
of dollars in American taxpayer benefits, and try and force
our country to open our borders once again.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
He's not given into it.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And if the left wants to shut down the government,
something they complained bitter Lee about that Republicans should never do,
let him do it and then let the American people decide.
We're living through a point where it's the Democrats have
no identity except that they they have radicals that run
the party, and they have leadership in name only that

(24:30):
cowers before them.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
You know, HAKM.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Jeffrey's indicating he's going to support Tommy, you know, Marxist Mundani.
That tells you everything you need to know. And Schumer
will as well, He'll fall in line anyway. I appreciate
the call. Thank you so much, Patrick, God bless you.
Eight hundred and nine four one Seawn. If you want
to be a part of the program, let us say
hi to Troy and Minnesota. Troy, how are you glad

(24:55):
you called?

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Good? Good?

Speaker 8 (24:57):
Thanks for taking my call. I wanted to touch base
with you a little bit about a comment that I.

Speaker 9 (25:02):
Heard Ilham Omar Make who's one of our congressional representatives
here in Minnesota. And I couldn't believe what I heard
when I when you had played it yesterday on the radio,
and and I got to say, sometimes, and I've been
a Republican for a long time. I'm in my early sixties.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
Forever whatever, and the things that are happening in Minnesota,
I'm just I just shake my head. I feel like
Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House or he's
got his hands up in his air, in the air
and he's just kind of you know, everything's going to
be sign, Everything's going to be SiGe. It's just one
thing after another in Minnesota with Walls and our Attorney

(25:44):
General Ellingston and Planetar and we've got Mayor Raises here
in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and I happened to run into, uh,
somebody from a different state when I was on the
way over and we're talking a little bit, and he
realized I was from Minnesota. And the first thing he

(26:05):
asked me goes, what's going on with your state government
in Minnesota? And I was like, I know, I can't
get over it. And it made me think. And you know,
right when you mentioned that, I wonder what people think
of us in Minnesota. We're not all like that. And
the one the lightning rods that kind of stick out
right now in the media right now that are from

(26:26):
Minnesota makes us It's embarrassing. And I'm just like, oh
my gosh, it's just Linda, is this in sanity? It's
by herd and catfar in Minnesota with all the stuff
that's going on.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Look, i mean, you really have two choices. You get
enough people together, and somehow the people of Minnesota wake
up and they change their government. I think based on
voter registration. And I'm just being blunt. Linda hates when
I say this. She feels like I'm giving in. I'm
not giving in. I'm facing reality and facing truth until

(27:00):
unless and until people get that fed up that they're
willing to reject the failed policies of radical leftist socialists.
You're going to get the government you deserve, so you
either try and stick it out and organize and get
people to help you change it, or just get the
hell out of there. There are a lot warmer places

(27:21):
to live the Minnesota and you can still enjoy hockey.
My Florida Panthers are doing quite well. Thank you very much.
So I appreciate the call. That's going to wrap things
up for today. The President's speech at the un Kamala
Harris speaks all the other news of the day. Google admits,
oh yeah, they did suppress people's information because of the

(27:45):
Biden administration. Lindsey Graham, Ron de Santis, Klay Travis, Jim Jordan,
Tommy Laryn, Nine Eastern Tonight Hannity on Foxy, then back
here tomorrow. Thank you for making this show possible.
