Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks scotch On an hour two Sean Hannedy Show, Toll free.
It is eight hundred and nine to four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program.
It is the Democrats have picked the wrong fights, and
they don't really realize it yet. I mean, you know,
all of the freak out, the hysteria, the screaming, the yelling,
(00:22):
there went this is war, you know, the Chuck Schumer chanting,
and you know it's it's it's you know, we will win,
we won't rest in defiance to Trump. And and you know,
as they protest Elon Musk and I'm just sitting there saying,
do you think the American people want to spend hundreds
(00:43):
of billions of dollars on USAID in light of what
we have discovered in terms of waste, fraud abuse. I mean,
it's frankly, it's just outright the most reckless, irresponsible spending
I've ever seen in my life life to advance their
radical leftism. And as as we have spent a lot
(01:05):
of time, you know, discussing this is basically that they're
dumped for woke, Green New Deal. Transgender LGBTQ in foreign
countries and Meanwhile, we struggle in this country as we've
we've gone over We've got to deport people. We've got
to secure our borders. We've got to we've got to
(01:27):
shore up social security and medicare. We've got to invest
in becoming the most energy dominant country on Earth. We
need the next generation of weaponry to protect America. We
have Americans in need all over the country, and we're
spending hundreds of billions of dollars. You know, last year alone,
two hundred and thirty six billion dollars in waste and
(01:49):
fraud and abuse by Joe Biden that we have now discovered,
I mean, by a government agency of all places. We
just can't make it up. But if this is the fight,
and the Democrats want to fight over open borders, and
you know, I mean the stories that are out today,
you know, oh, the DHS raid nabbed an Ecuadorian rapist
(02:12):
who was cut loose by New York City Democrats. Now
we see all the resistance beginning around the country. We
have nine thousand Harris Biden illegals that have been arrested,
six thousand of those who have been deported. Democrats complain
deporting illegal alien murderers and rapists are a waste of time.
(02:33):
Congressional Democrats a waste of time. Jamie Raskin on the
House Judiciary Committee said that illegal immigrants are being targeted.
They pose no threat to public safety. Well, if they
want to prioritize their money and give all of this.
Since I won't go through the list, we've been We've
been scrolling it on TV and mentioning it repeatedly on radio.
(02:57):
I don't want to repeat myself, but it is. It
is madness, it really is. Here's the Democrats at the
protest of Elon Musk. This was yesterday going nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump
wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here
we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
The people get to decide how we defend the United
States of America. The people get to decide how their
tax bayer money is spent. Elon Musk does not get to.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Decide if democracy is a quote unquote left wing ideology.
At Elon Musk, I mean, this man is un American
as far as my definition of America is, and I
just i'm the fact that more people aren't offended by
this man's actions. I mean, it's shows you how much
he has helped successfully destroy the trusted information ecosystem because
(04:05):
this is a five alarm fire. Elon Musk is a
five alarm fire and the country doesn't realize it yet.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires
I have ever met or seen are witnessed, which you know,
you can probably even glean back from watching these people
on TV. Anyways, all that is to say is that
they don't do their homework.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
So I mean, are America is going to be okay
with Musk?
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
A guy nobody voted for having all this kind of
power medium voted.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He was appointed by a duly elected president of the
United States. It's really that simple. And then of course
the media left wing radicals that they are joining in
the freak out over Elon Musk. But look, if this
is their fight that they want, if they they want
us to sit there and defend twenty million dollars on
a sesame street show in Iraq fifty six billion to
(05:08):
boost Egyptian in Tunisia, tourism, forty million to build schools
in Jordan, eleven million to tell the Vietnamese to stop
burning trash, and two point five million for Dei in Serbia.
And I'm only touching the surface. We're talking about hundreds
of billions of dollars of your money. And they want
(05:30):
this fight, they can have this fight. And if they
want a fight to keep known terrorists in the country, rapist,
they want to turn a blind eye to the lake
and Rileys, Rachel Marns, Joscelyn Nungarys of the world uh
and and they want to keep the cartel members, known terrorists,
gang members, murderers, rapists, and not care about the American
(05:50):
people victims of violent crimes, murder, rape, and don't want
to consider them. If that's if that is their their
their stance, and that's the where the hill they want
to die on, Let him die on it. Here's the
media doing the same thing to our Republican colleagues.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If you do not see the life, we will bring
the fire. Who is this he are gonna be in
your faith, We are gonna be on your asses.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We have work to do.
Speaker 10 (06:19):
Tell Elon must to take his hands off your money.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy twenty two year
olds working for Elon Musk.
Speaker 11 (06:29):
We pledge allegiance to the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And shut down the city.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We are war.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We will win. We will win, we.
Speaker 11 (06:40):
Win, we will rest, we will rest.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Elon Musk is seizing.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
The power that belongs to the American people.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
We are here to fight back.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
We have conveyed here in the right place, the Treasury Department.
Speaker 11 (07:01):
We have got to tell Elon Musk, nobody elected your ass.
All across America people are knocked out, but they are
gunning off and they are going to fight the dictator,
Oh Donald Trump and his henchman, Elon Musk.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
We are going to stand and fight.
Speaker 13 (07:24):
Fight, fight.
Speaker 11 (07:25):
If we're walking to the Treasury Department, tell me what
plutocracy looks like. What does democracy look like? What does
autocracy look like?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
This gets old very quick anyway. Anyway, the governor of Oklahoma,
Kevin did as with us, and he's actually starting his
own division of doge in Oklahoma, which I think is
a brilliant idea. How are you, sir, a governor.
Speaker 10 (07:59):
Great to have you, Hey, great to be with you, Sean,
and you're I mean, I'm listening to this program. I
cannot believe what these people are saying. Because I'm telling
you what, people in Oklahoma and Texas and Nebraska, we're
not losing any sleep about getting rid of the US
AID Department and all the things that you've talked about.
(08:21):
The American people think that's unbelievably ridiculous when we're spending
two trillion dollars over our income right now to build
infrastructure in other parts of the world to you know,
like you said, the trans surgeries in Peru and Columbia
and the DEI training in Chile, or you know, the
(08:45):
Mission creep is unbelievable. And I think that the fact
that President Trump is exposing this, you know, we're cheering
him on from Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I'll tell you that, well, four million for the local
cost the renewable energy and strengthening markets for their goods
and services in Colombia. Forty four point eight million for
food assistance, economic support for Venezuela and migrants in Colombia.
This is madness. And I can keep going on. Twenty
four million for a green transportation and logistics program in Georgia,
(09:16):
twenty nine million for an agricultural trade diversification program in Georgia.
I have nine pages that I can read here, and
I scroll it on TV. I can't even get through
the entire scroll in the course of a show. And
if this is the hill I think Democrats want to
die on, this is the party they want to be
the party of, you know, globalism, then have at it.
(09:38):
But I think the American people would prefer to have
that money spend at home and not abroad, and not
for such you know, radical woke green trans DEI abortion
programs that they're pushing and funding.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
You're exactly right. And in Oklahoma, you know, we know
what President Trump's trying to do, so we believe that
the states need to help with that. So I set
up Dose Oklahoma to say, Okay, here's the federal money
coming into my state. We think that we can be
more efficient with block grants if we're allowed to do
it this way. We think we can reduce ten to
(10:14):
twenty percent of the federal dollars flowing into our state.
And then if you extrapolate that over fifty states, that
could be a trillion dollars of savings for President Trump,
and let's get back to a balanced budget situation. There's
not an unlimited amount of funding that goes on. And
that's the big picture that we're trying to solve. The
(10:34):
inflation's killing the working class families and the radicals that
you were that you just were showing sharing on you
on your on your your program here, I don't think
that that is the American people, whether you're Republican or Democrat.
We we care about our kids. We want to educate
our kids. We want to make sure that our kids
go to penal lessons and soccer practice. We want to
(10:55):
be able to heed our homes, drive our cool drive
our kids to school. We want to affordable groceries. We
don't want to radicalize other parts of the world with
wasteful spending. And so this is just common sense to
most people in Middle America. I can tell you that,
all right.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Quick break, we'll come right back more with Governor Kevin
Instid of Oklahoma as he joins US and has developed
his own version of Doze Doze Oklahoma as the left
is freaking out all around the country. Then your calls
coming up eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if
you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
America listens to Sean Hennedy and he's on on on.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hey, Sean Hannity here, you might think that using your
gun and self defense would be a tough situation, right,
but defending your actions in today's justice system, good luck
with that. Look at Daniel Penny. Now that's where your
nightmare can begin. We are living in a time where
there are many government officials and a jeez, they don't
even believe in self defense. And you've got to protect
yourself and your family. That's why I've been a proud
(12:05):
member of the USCCA for over nine years. And with
the us CCA, I know that when God forbid, I'm
defending my family. I hope it happens to nobody, but
we know it does happen that I'm not going to
be standing alone. I want to encourage you to protect
your family and your freedoms and join the over eight
hundred thousand responsible safe gun owners like me that trust
(12:26):
the USCCA to have their back. Just text my last name,
Hannity to the number eight seven to two two. You
can learn more about how membership works and safeguard your
family and protect your rights. Just text my last name,
Hannity to the number eight seven two two two eight
seven to to two.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And trust me, you'll be glad you did Hright.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We continue now. Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma has started
a state version of Doge Doze Oklahoma. He calls it.
You know, you mentioned states, and you mentioned Middle America.
You're talking about Texas and Oklahoma. I can add to
that my my free state of Florida, where I live,
and I left New York for good reasons. But I
will tell you I also think that this will resonate
(13:10):
in places like Pennsylvania and Georgia and North Carolina and
Michigan and Wisconsin, and and I'm pretty confident in places
like Nevada, the sick and tired of this too in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I don't think Americans, unless.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You're from New York or California, or from Illinois and
New Jersey with a dope governor they have up there,
you know, advertising that he's he's harboring illegal immigrants. Americans
are not going to support this. And yet this is
the hill they've chosen to die on in their fight
against Donald Trump. I think between that and the illegal immigration,
(13:49):
I think they've made a big mistake.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
One I'm telling you, even normal, normal, you know, god
fearing Democrats are like they've gone too far. That's why
you say Trump win big all over the country. I
set up Operation Guardian in Oklahoma to be ready for
the Trump administration to deport criminals who are in Oklahoma prisons.
(14:12):
I don't know how anybody could argue with the fact
that if we arrest a criminal who's here illegally for
the last four years, when my law enforcement turned them
over to the Biden administration or ice, nothing happened. We
knew that they'd be released back into the streets, so
we had incarcerate them. Well, now we have a law
and order president back in the White House, and it's
(14:34):
just absolute common sense. The most people that are Americans
that you know, you know, love our country. And I
just don't know what's happening right now with the with
the far left. They're off the rockers.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well it's the Democratic Party. They've been co opted by
the far left. They are the far left. And if
this is the message they're going to take to the country,
I think they're going to continue to lose and you know,
usually freeze ample and midterm elections, the party in power
would tend to lose lose seats. If Donald Trump keeps
up this record setting pace of transformational change, I would
(15:10):
argue that that keeping his promises and doing these things
is going to be good politics.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Yeah, oh, one hundred percent. I mean I think, I
think you're right. I'm I'm coming to the White House.
I'm in DC right now. It's fixing to going to
see the President and he's going to be signing in
executive order that we did two years ago. Uh and again,
really pretty common sense to me. But we're not gonna
let boys play in girls sports in the state of Oklahoma.
(15:38):
I mean, if you think about this, Sean, we have
weight classes in boxing, we have weight classes in MMA
fighting and wrestling. But yet we throw this out the
window and we're gonna let, you know, any male that's
pretending to be a female, you know, run in female
sports and play run track and in the swimming and uh,
(15:58):
it's just again, we'd right on this issue. And if
they want to die on this hill, they'll continue to
lose elections nationally.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Not sure if you've been in the Oval office before,
but it's a pretty cool place anyway. Governor, we appreciate
you being with us. Have fun today, and we appreciate
what you're doing in Oklahoma. Thank you, sir, Governor Kevin
Stitt of Oklahoma with US eight hundred and nine to
four one, Shawn is a number. If you want to
be a part of the program, we'll get all of
your reaction to this coming up. You know, it's it's
(16:28):
I'm just listening to the madness of the radical left
in this country.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Remember these are the same people's closing argument in the
campaign was Donald Trump is a racist, Donald Trump is Hitler,
Wissalini and Stalin. He's a Nazi fascist, very it's all
they said. That was their closing argument. It wasn't that
Democrats have done a good job under Biden Harris, it
(16:54):
wasn't that they had a better vision for the country.
Kamala Harris, you know, could not expose her through radicalism,
which is why she was tied up in knots. Every
time she's tried to speak, she couldn't answer good or
do interviews. And what we've learned through this entire Doge
exposure of government spending, they've hidden, they've hidden all of
(17:15):
this from us, Kennedy, you know, you're you're supposed to
tell us these things. Well, nobody ever discovered it until
Elon Musk came along and Donald Trump was elected.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And thank god what we did.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And you know, the entire left woke agenda is you know,
is on full display. It is the Green New Deal.
It is everything woke. It is everything DEI, it is
everything trans It is everything abortion, and it is everything
you know lgbt Q. But it's not even for the
(17:50):
American people. Meanwhile, Americans are still suffering in North Carolina
in other states posts Hurricane Helene. Nobody seems to want
to focus on that. But people like us, and we're
not taking care of, you know, veterans in this country.
We have social Security and Medicare, but going broke. We have,
you know, a lot of work to do to become
(18:11):
energy dominant, a lot of work to deport all these
you know, radical terrorists, criminals, murderers, rapists, cartel members.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We have a lot to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And but you know, you would think that maybe there
would be some introspection and self reflection of the state
run media mob forget about it. Not true, you know,
and it is the same people that peddled every Trump
conspiracy theory. The chief among them Rachel Maddow ms DNC,
(18:44):
have just doubled down on on feigning this outrage over
everything that Donald Trump says and does, and and if
they want to defend us AID and and billions of
dis spent on DEI and they want to call Americans
that that one common sense spending and refer to them
(19:08):
as racist or having a white power vibe as Rachel
Maddow did. Remember she peddled the Russia conspiracy. She never
she never got Pizer, right, she never got the double
standard in our justice system, right, the weaponization of our
DOJ and FBI, in our intelligence community right. And you know,
rarely gets criticized. However, you know, the proof is in
(19:32):
the pudding. She'll always have a you know, a small cult,
little following of radical leftists like the people on Capitol Hill,
you know, screaming yesterday. But you know, just just listen
to frum DEI attacks have a white power vibe, has
nothing to do with race, you know. But if you're
(19:53):
going to have FAA rules that Obama put in place,
let's say people with psychiatric disabilities and intellectual disabilities, can
be air traffic controllers. I've got a problem with that.
You need a meritocracy society. And I say that as
somebody that believes every human being was created by God
(20:15):
has talent given given to them by God. And these
are also the same people that have protected the bureaucracy
that has failed especially minority children in deep blue states
with the worst educational system in the industrialized world, even
though we spend more per capital for student. And this
(20:36):
is now we are back to you know where we
were in twenty seventy and now we have the first
call for impeachment. Anyway, here's matta.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I think it's pretty obvious now to everybody that they
are using DEI as a as a just a pretext.
They're giving everything that you know, unfashionable boogeyman label to
try to avoid people in general role realizing that what
they're really doing is just wrecking the US government, just
knocking it down. It may be, for example, that there's
there is a real white power vibe behind all the
(21:09):
anti DEI stuff they are doing. But if the way
they're approaching it is to say in part that there
can no longer be the inclusion of a self addressed
stamped envelope in any government mailing or that you're banned
from talking about the equity markets because ooh equity. Well
that level of stupidity has the benefit of making us
less intimidated by them because they're being dumb. It also
(21:32):
has the benefit of emboldening people to push back.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So it's the media. It's the state run legacy media
mob which died. They just don't realize the American people
did not listen to them. You know, there's small little
cult viewers. You know, maybe they did, but it's not
enough to win elections anymore. And if their fight is
going to be to protect gang members, cartel members, murderers,
(21:58):
rapists that should be awarded known terrorists in the country,
then have at it. If they want to protect all
of the moneies that are being spent on Woke Green
New Deal, trans dei, abortion, et cetera worldwide, the hundreds
of billions of dollars, then have at it. Because that's
not an argument that's going to resonate with the American people.
(22:20):
And I don't care how hyperbolic they become, it's not
going to work. And if they think they have impact,
they don't. These people yesterday just sound like a bunch
of lunatics, you know. And then we have our first
call for impeachment. We were going to start a pool
on the air, and they beat me to it. Al Green, Congressman, listen.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
To whom it may concern.
Speaker 12 (22:44):
Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when
it emanates from the President of the United States, the
most powerful person in the world. And I stand here
today in the well to denounce he was said, to
denounce what the President said, to denounce the complicity of
(23:05):
the Prime Minister of Israel, and to remind people that
doctor King was right. In justice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere, and injustice in Gaza is a threat
to justice in the United States of America. I rise
to announce that the movement to impeach the President has begun.
(23:27):
I rise to announce that I will bring articles of
impeachments against the President for destarately deeds proposed and destarately
deeds done.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
All right, let's get to our busy phones. I mean
is you can't even make this up? All right, Let's
go to Dave and Indiana. Dave, how are you glad
you called?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Sir?
Speaker 13 (23:48):
I'm just fine, I'm fine. I appreciate you taking my
phone call. A couple of things that I've seen along
the social network. They talk about a lot of the
spending bills are out there with the USA and others.
But I like see names attached to him. I know,
if spending is approved, somebody's names attached to somewhere, whether
it's on the end of a bill or what. I
like to see the names on them.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sometimes they've they fund us AID and the people that
that now are shut out of their offices at USA.
They're the ones that have been making those decisions with
of course the recommendations and full stamp of approval of
leftists in the US House and Senate.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
What is there a way we can attach names soon
the people that want of those.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, probably over time. I think I think you're getting
those computers. I think we're going to find out very
quickly who's been pushing all of this waste, fraud, abuse,
and frankly outright stealing of the American people's money.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
This is not just reckless spend.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is just outright theft, and it is it is
such a monumental bureaucratic failure, and this is why we're
a country with forty trillion dollars in debt.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah, it's it's unforgivable to me.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (25:01):
One of the things I want to talk about was
illegal immigrants. I think if if people come to the
United States for asylum, that's one idea, But if they
came for the work VIEWSA, that's a different one. So
I guess I'm look at these people who came for
asylums and go through those and if they missed their
court date, it's just a no brainer. You know, no
court going, you know, you get to deport. So you know,
(25:23):
with overstayers and uh, the asylum people, I think that
they need to go back if their works.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Listen to clean all this up, it's to be transformational.
You've got the entire bureaucracy and then the state run
legacy media mob against you, and and they're not gonna
They're just not gonna go away. They're gonna sit and
they're gonna fight because this is where their power comes from.
(25:51):
Their power comes by spending these billions. Anyway, my friend
I appreciated Dave. I love our friends in Indiana. We
also love our friends in the Free State of Florida.
Tom is in my home state. What's up, Tom? How
are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Hey, good afternoon, Sean. It's pleasure to be on your ear.
I want to start with saying that you're a smart
and honest, intelligent and very informative and we the.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
People, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
We work hard every day, we try to do our best.
Well I'm perfect, but we're trying.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Fabulous, fabulous. I make stations stuck on yours from the car.
But some of the points I from the day he
wrote down that escalator. I knew he's a businessman and
that's what we needed in there. And I knew he
wasn't going to make Mexico pay for the wall. It
was going to be the negotiations. Well, right now I
have a question is that there's three bridges that cross Panama,
(26:47):
and those three bridges are the only means of those
people getting across from those southern countries. And we're in
negotiations right now with Panama. So that's another point and
issue is is that's the only way we can stop
them there too. So it's you know, Panama and all
these other countries that that's all Trump does is negotiate.
(27:09):
So he's going to bring all these things to the table.
And he's an extremely small businessman. I've known him, as
you can tell my I'm out of New York, and
unfortunately I don't believe in their ways up there in
the industry I'm in is I'm outnumbered. So that's why
I live now in Florida. But I appreciate you, I
(27:30):
really do.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
And well I appreciate you too, because you know what,
We're all in this together. And you know, if one
thing that we're learning that we really need to highlight
is the opposition to Donald Trump's transformational agenda is real
and we've got to stiff in the spine of these
elected officials and we've got to stay in the fight.
And by the way, I'll predict with Panama, it's going
(27:53):
to come out very favorable to the US that already
is anyway, Tom, appreciate it, buddy, God bless you. Eight
hundred nine, Shawn is a number. Quick break right back.
We'll continue more of your phone calls coming up. Eight
hundred and nine four one sewan as we roll along
this Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Up next our final roundup and information overload hours.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program, Leo Marylyn Next Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Hi, Yeah, Hi Sean. I know in the past you've
always stood up for the men and women in the
rank and file FBI agents, and it's because the time
they may need your voice again, especially the couple thousand
have been seemingly targeted because they worked on the January
(28:55):
sixth case. And I know one of the main goals
in the FBI is to depoliticize it, and this appears
to be a miss misstep in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Well, we need to look at every individual case. That's
what I would say. I had no cash, buttell have
known him for a long time. He's been on the
show many times, and I can tell you that I
have every confidence that he's going to be fair to
every individual. I mean, you think about the disproportionate amount
of resources that were given to January sixth, and we
(29:33):
had five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer
of twenty twenty, and we had dozens of dead Americans,
way more than January sixth. We had thousands of injured cops,
we had billions in property damage, and we had a
presidential candidate vice president at the time saying that the
rioters won't stop, shouldn't stop, and we're not going to stop.
(29:53):
We also had video of the crimes they committed. Many
of the people that committed these crimes was all on
video and they did. You know, I do think that
within the FBI, and they're ignoring illegal immigration at the time,
and they're ignoring other crimes at the time, I think
that there are going to have to be hard questions
(30:16):
for rank and file members in terms of their priority
and whether or not you know, they challenged, you know,
some of the higher ups, and we need people that
understand the true mission of the FBI. And maybe it's
the process of reinterviewing everybody and making sure that they
understand what their job is. I mean, but they've had
(30:39):
terrible leadership under the last two FBI directors. But I
definitely agree with you that I want to be fair
to the rank and file and I want to make
sure that you know, the good people stay. I mean,
we're going to need some we need trained FBI officials.
I want to I want our FBI to be the
world's premiere law enforcement agency.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Again.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But we can't have what's been happening, how it's been
weaponized and politicized. We can't allow that to continue either.
So it's we got to thread the needle there. I
have a lot of confidence in Cash Betel doing that.
I hope that makes you feel better anyway. Eight hundred
ninety four one Shawn is on number if you want
to be a part of the program.
Thanks scotch On an hour two Sean Hannedy Show, Toll free.
It is eight hundred and nine to four one Sean
if you want to be a part of the program.
It is the Democrats have picked the wrong fights, and
they don't really realize it yet. I mean, you know,
all of the freak out, the hysteria, the screaming, the yelling,
(00:22):
there went this is war, you know, the Chuck Schumer chanting,
and you know it's it's it's you know, we will win,
we won't rest in defiance to Trump. And and you know,
as they protest Elon Musk and I'm just sitting there saying,
do you think the American people want to spend hundreds
(00:43):
of billions of dollars on USAID in light of what
we have discovered in terms of waste, fraud abuse. I mean,
it's frankly, it's just outright the most reckless, irresponsible spending
I've ever seen in my life life to advance their
radical leftism. And as as we have spent a lot
(01:05):
of time, you know, discussing this is basically that they're
dumped for woke, Green New Deal. Transgender LGBTQ in foreign
countries and Meanwhile, we struggle in this country as we've
we've gone over We've got to deport people. We've got
to secure our borders. We've got to we've got to
(01:27):
shore up social security and medicare. We've got to invest
in becoming the most energy dominant country on Earth. We
need the next generation of weaponry to protect America. We
have Americans in need all over the country, and we're
spending hundreds of billions of dollars. You know, last year alone,
two hundred and thirty six billion dollars in waste and
(01:49):
fraud and abuse by Joe Biden that we have now discovered,
I mean, by a government agency of all places. We
just can't make it up. But if this is the fight,
and the Democrats want to fight over open borders, and
you know, I mean the stories that are out today,
you know, oh, the DHS raid nabbed an Ecuadorian rapist
(02:12):
who was cut loose by New York City Democrats. Now
we see all the resistance beginning around the country. We
have nine thousand Harris Biden illegals that have been arrested,
six thousand of those who have been deported. Democrats complain
deporting illegal alien murderers and rapists are a waste of time.
(02:33):
Congressional Democrats a waste of time. Jamie Raskin on the
House Judiciary Committee said that illegal immigrants are being targeted.
They pose no threat to public safety. Well, if they
want to prioritize their money and give all of this.
Since I won't go through the list, we've been We've
been scrolling it on TV and mentioning it repeatedly on radio.
(02:57):
I don't want to repeat myself, but it is. It
is madness, it really is. Here's the Democrats at the
protest of Elon Musk. This was yesterday going nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump
wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here
we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
The people get to decide how we defend the United
States of America. The people get to decide how their
tax bayer money is spent. Elon Musk does not get to.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Decide if democracy is a quote unquote left wing ideology.
At Elon Musk, I mean, this man is un American
as far as my definition of America is, and I
just i'm the fact that more people aren't offended by
this man's actions. I mean, it's shows you how much
he has helped successfully destroy the trusted information ecosystem because
(04:05):
this is a five alarm fire. Elon Musk is a
five alarm fire and the country doesn't realize it yet.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires
I have ever met or seen are witnessed, which you know,
you can probably even glean back from watching these people
on TV. Anyways, all that is to say is that
they don't do their homework.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
So I mean, are America is going to be okay
with Musk?
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
A guy nobody voted for having all this kind of
power medium voted.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He was appointed by a duly elected president of the
United States. It's really that simple. And then of course
the media left wing radicals that they are joining in
the freak out over Elon Musk. But look, if this
is their fight that they want, if they they want
us to sit there and defend twenty million dollars on
a sesame street show in Iraq fifty six billion to
(05:08):
boost Egyptian in Tunisia, tourism, forty million to build schools
in Jordan, eleven million to tell the Vietnamese to stop
burning trash, and two point five million for Dei in Serbia.
And I'm only touching the surface. We're talking about hundreds
of billions of dollars of your money. And they want
(05:30):
this fight, they can have this fight. And if they
want a fight to keep known terrorists in the country, rapist,
they want to turn a blind eye to the lake
and Rileys, Rachel Marns, Joscelyn Nungarys of the world uh
and and they want to keep the cartel members, known terrorists,
gang members, murderers, rapists, and not care about the American
(05:50):
people victims of violent crimes, murder, rape, and don't want
to consider them. If that's if that is their their
their stance, and that's the where the hill they want
to die on, Let him die on it. Here's the
media doing the same thing to our Republican colleagues.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If you do not see the life, we will bring
the fire. Who is this he are gonna be in
your faith, We are gonna be on your asses.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
We have work to do.
Speaker 10 (06:19):
Tell Elon must to take his hands off your money.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy twenty two year
olds working for Elon Musk.
Speaker 11 (06:29):
We pledge allegiance to the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And shut down the city.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We are war.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
We will win. We will win, we.
Speaker 11 (06:40):
Win, we will rest, we will rest.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Elon Musk is seizing.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
The power that belongs to the American people.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
We are here to fight back.
Speaker 12 (06:56):
We have conveyed here in the right place, the Treasury Department.
Speaker 11 (07:01):
We have got to tell Elon Musk, nobody elected your ass.
All across America people are knocked out, but they are
gunning off and they are going to fight the dictator,
Oh Donald Trump and his henchman, Elon Musk.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
We are going to stand and fight.
Speaker 13 (07:24):
Fight, fight.
Speaker 11 (07:25):
If we're walking to the Treasury Department, tell me what
plutocracy looks like. What does democracy look like? What does
autocracy look like?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
This gets old very quick anyway. Anyway, the governor of Oklahoma,
Kevin did as with us, and he's actually starting his
own division of doge in Oklahoma, which I think is
a brilliant idea. How are you, sir, a governor.
Speaker 10 (07:59):
Great to have you, Hey, great to be with you, Sean,
and you're I mean, I'm listening to this program. I
cannot believe what these people are saying. Because I'm telling
you what, people in Oklahoma and Texas and Nebraska, we're
not losing any sleep about getting rid of the US
AID Department and all the things that you've talked about.
(08:21):
The American people think that's unbelievably ridiculous when we're spending
two trillion dollars over our income right now to build
infrastructure in other parts of the world to you know,
like you said, the trans surgeries in Peru and Columbia
and the DEI training in Chile, or you know, the
(08:45):
Mission creep is unbelievable. And I think that the fact
that President Trump is exposing this, you know, we're cheering
him on from Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I'll tell you that, well, four million for the local
cost the renewable energy and strengthening markets for their goods
and services in Colombia. Forty four point eight million for
food assistance, economic support for Venezuela and migrants in Colombia.
This is madness. And I can keep going on. Twenty
four million for a green transportation and logistics program in Georgia,
(09:16):
twenty nine million for an agricultural trade diversification program in Georgia.
I have nine pages that I can read here, and
I scroll it on TV. I can't even get through
the entire scroll in the course of a show. And
if this is the hill I think Democrats want to
die on, this is the party they want to be
the party of, you know, globalism, then have at it.
(09:38):
But I think the American people would prefer to have
that money spend at home and not abroad, and not
for such you know, radical woke green trans DEI abortion
programs that they're pushing and funding.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
You're exactly right. And in Oklahoma, you know, we know
what President Trump's trying to do, so we believe that
the states need to help with that. So I set
up Dose Oklahoma to say, Okay, here's the federal money
coming into my state. We think that we can be
more efficient with block grants if we're allowed to do
it this way. We think we can reduce ten to
(10:14):
twenty percent of the federal dollars flowing into our state.
And then if you extrapolate that over fifty states, that
could be a trillion dollars of savings for President Trump,
and let's get back to a balanced budget situation. There's
not an unlimited amount of funding that goes on. And
that's the big picture that we're trying to solve. The
(10:34):
inflation's killing the working class families and the radicals that
you were that you just were showing sharing on you
on your on your your program here, I don't think
that that is the American people, whether you're Republican or Democrat.
We we care about our kids. We want to educate
our kids. We want to make sure that our kids
go to penal lessons and soccer practice. We want to
(10:55):
be able to heed our homes, drive our cool drive
our kids to school. We want to affordable groceries. We
don't want to radicalize other parts of the world with
wasteful spending. And so this is just common sense to
most people in Middle America. I can tell you that,
all right.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Quick break, we'll come right back more with Governor Kevin
Instid of Oklahoma as he joins US and has developed
his own version of Doze Doze Oklahoma as the left
is freaking out all around the country. Then your calls
coming up eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if
you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
America listens to Sean Hennedy and he's on on on.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hey, Sean Hannity here, you might think that using your
gun and self defense would be a tough situation, right,
but defending your actions in today's justice system, good luck
with that. Look at Daniel Penny. Now that's where your
nightmare can begin. We are living in a time where
there are many government officials and a jeez, they don't
even believe in self defense. And you've got to protect
yourself and your family. That's why I've been a proud
(12:05):
member of the USCCA for over nine years. And with
the us CCA, I know that when God forbid, I'm
defending my family. I hope it happens to nobody, but
we know it does happen that I'm not going to
be standing alone. I want to encourage you to protect
your family and your freedoms and join the over eight
hundred thousand responsible safe gun owners like me that trust
(12:26):
the USCCA to have their back. Just text my last name,
Hannity to the number eight seven to two two. You
can learn more about how membership works and safeguard your
family and protect your rights. Just text my last name,
Hannity to the number eight seven two two two eight
seven to to two.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And trust me, you'll be glad you did Hright.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We continue now. Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma has started
a state version of Doge Doze Oklahoma. He calls it.
You know, you mentioned states, and you mentioned Middle America.
You're talking about Texas and Oklahoma. I can add to
that my my free state of Florida, where I live,
and I left New York for good reasons. But I
will tell you I also think that this will resonate
(13:10):
in places like Pennsylvania and Georgia and North Carolina and
Michigan and Wisconsin, and and I'm pretty confident in places
like Nevada, the sick and tired of this too in Arizona.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I don't think Americans, unless.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You're from New York or California, or from Illinois and
New Jersey with a dope governor they have up there,
you know, advertising that he's he's harboring illegal immigrants. Americans
are not going to support this. And yet this is
the hill they've chosen to die on in their fight
against Donald Trump. I think between that and the illegal immigration,
(13:49):
I think they've made a big mistake.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
One I'm telling you, even normal, normal, you know, god
fearing Democrats are like they've gone too far. That's why
you say Trump win big all over the country. I
set up Operation Guardian in Oklahoma to be ready for
the Trump administration to deport criminals who are in Oklahoma prisons.
(14:12):
I don't know how anybody could argue with the fact
that if we arrest a criminal who's here illegally for
the last four years, when my law enforcement turned them
over to the Biden administration or ice, nothing happened. We
knew that they'd be released back into the streets, so
we had incarcerate them. Well, now we have a law
and order president back in the White House, and it's
(14:34):
just absolute common sense. The most people that are Americans
that you know, you know, love our country. And I
just don't know what's happening right now with the with
the far left. They're off the rockers.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well it's the Democratic Party. They've been co opted by
the far left. They are the far left. And if
this is the message they're going to take to the country,
I think they're going to continue to lose and you know,
usually freeze ample and midterm elections, the party in power
would tend to lose lose seats. If Donald Trump keeps
up this record setting pace of transformational change, I would
(15:10):
argue that that keeping his promises and doing these things
is going to be good politics.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Yeah, oh, one hundred percent. I mean I think, I
think you're right. I'm I'm coming to the White House.
I'm in DC right now. It's fixing to going to
see the President and he's going to be signing in
executive order that we did two years ago. Uh and again,
really pretty common sense to me. But we're not gonna
let boys play in girls sports in the state of Oklahoma.
(15:38):
I mean, if you think about this, Sean, we have
weight classes in boxing, we have weight classes in MMA
fighting and wrestling. But yet we throw this out the
window and we're gonna let, you know, any male that's
pretending to be a female, you know, run in female
sports and play run track and in the swimming and uh,
(15:58):
it's just again, we'd right on this issue. And if
they want to die on this hill, they'll continue to
lose elections nationally.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Not sure if you've been in the Oval office before,
but it's a pretty cool place anyway. Governor, we appreciate
you being with us. Have fun today, and we appreciate
what you're doing in Oklahoma. Thank you, sir, Governor Kevin
Stitt of Oklahoma with US eight hundred and nine to
four one, Shawn is a number. If you want to
be a part of the program, we'll get all of
your reaction to this coming up. You know, it's it's
(16:28):
I'm just listening to the madness of the radical left
in this country.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Remember these are the same people's closing argument in the
campaign was Donald Trump is a racist, Donald Trump is Hitler,
Wissalini and Stalin. He's a Nazi fascist, very it's all
they said. That was their closing argument. It wasn't that
Democrats have done a good job under Biden Harris, it
(16:54):
wasn't that they had a better vision for the country.
Kamala Harris, you know, could not expose her through radicalism,
which is why she was tied up in knots. Every
time she's tried to speak, she couldn't answer good or
do interviews. And what we've learned through this entire Doge
exposure of government spending, they've hidden, they've hidden all of
(17:15):
this from us, Kennedy, you know, you're you're supposed to
tell us these things. Well, nobody ever discovered it until
Elon Musk came along and Donald Trump was elected.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And thank god what we did.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And you know, the entire left woke agenda is you know,
is on full display. It is the Green New Deal.
It is everything woke. It is everything DEI, it is
everything trans It is everything abortion, and it is everything
you know lgbt Q. But it's not even for the
(17:50):
American people. Meanwhile, Americans are still suffering in North Carolina
in other states posts Hurricane Helene. Nobody seems to want
to focus on that. But people like us, and we're
not taking care of, you know, veterans in this country.
We have social Security and Medicare, but going broke. We have,
you know, a lot of work to do to become
(18:11):
energy dominant, a lot of work to deport all these
you know, radical terrorists, criminals, murderers, rapists, cartel members.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
We have a lot to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And but you know, you would think that maybe there
would be some introspection and self reflection of the state
run media mob forget about it. Not true, you know,
and it is the same people that peddled every Trump
conspiracy theory. The chief among them Rachel Maddow ms DNC,
(18:44):
have just doubled down on on feigning this outrage over
everything that Donald Trump says and does, and and if
they want to defend us AID and and billions of
dis spent on DEI and they want to call Americans
that that one common sense spending and refer to them
(19:08):
as racist or having a white power vibe as Rachel
Maddow did. Remember she peddled the Russia conspiracy. She never
she never got Pizer, right, she never got the double
standard in our justice system, right, the weaponization of our
DOJ and FBI, in our intelligence community right. And you know,
rarely gets criticized. However, you know, the proof is in
(19:32):
the pudding. She'll always have a you know, a small cult,
little following of radical leftists like the people on Capitol Hill,
you know, screaming yesterday. But you know, just just listen
to frum DEI attacks have a white power vibe, has
nothing to do with race, you know. But if you're
(19:53):
going to have FAA rules that Obama put in place,
let's say people with psychiatric disabilities and intellectual disabilities, can
be air traffic controllers. I've got a problem with that.
You need a meritocracy society. And I say that as
somebody that believes every human being was created by God
(20:15):
has talent given given to them by God. And these
are also the same people that have protected the bureaucracy
that has failed especially minority children in deep blue states
with the worst educational system in the industrialized world, even
though we spend more per capital for student. And this
(20:36):
is now we are back to you know where we
were in twenty seventy and now we have the first
call for impeachment. Anyway, here's matta.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
I think it's pretty obvious now to everybody that they
are using DEI as a as a just a pretext.
They're giving everything that you know, unfashionable boogeyman label to
try to avoid people in general role realizing that what
they're really doing is just wrecking the US government, just
knocking it down. It may be, for example, that there's
there is a real white power vibe behind all the
(21:09):
anti DEI stuff they are doing. But if the way
they're approaching it is to say in part that there
can no longer be the inclusion of a self addressed
stamped envelope in any government mailing or that you're banned
from talking about the equity markets because ooh equity. Well
that level of stupidity has the benefit of making us
less intimidated by them because they're being dumb. It also
(21:32):
has the benefit of emboldening people to push back.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So it's the media. It's the state run legacy media
mob which died. They just don't realize the American people
did not listen to them. You know, there's small little
cult viewers. You know, maybe they did, but it's not
enough to win elections anymore. And if their fight is
going to be to protect gang members, cartel members, murderers,
(21:58):
rapists that should be awarded known terrorists in the country,
then have at it. If they want to protect all
of the moneies that are being spent on Woke Green
New Deal, trans dei, abortion, et cetera worldwide, the hundreds
of billions of dollars, then have at it. Because that's
not an argument that's going to resonate with the American people.
(22:20):
And I don't care how hyperbolic they become, it's not
going to work. And if they think they have impact,
they don't. These people yesterday just sound like a bunch
of lunatics, you know. And then we have our first
call for impeachment. We were going to start a pool
on the air, and they beat me to it. Al Green, Congressman, listen.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
To whom it may concern.
Speaker 12 (22:44):
Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when
it emanates from the President of the United States, the
most powerful person in the world. And I stand here
today in the well to denounce he was said, to
denounce what the President said, to denounce the complicity of
(23:05):
the Prime Minister of Israel, and to remind people that
doctor King was right. In justice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere, and injustice in Gaza is a threat
to justice in the United States of America. I rise
to announce that the movement to impeach the President has begun.
(23:27):
I rise to announce that I will bring articles of
impeachments against the President for destarately deeds proposed and destarately
deeds done.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
All right, let's get to our busy phones. I mean
is you can't even make this up? All right, Let's
go to Dave and Indiana. Dave, how are you glad
you called?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Sir?
Speaker 13 (23:48):
I'm just fine, I'm fine. I appreciate you taking my
phone call. A couple of things that I've seen along
the social network. They talk about a lot of the
spending bills are out there with the USA and others.
But I like see names attached to him. I know,
if spending is approved, somebody's names attached to somewhere, whether
it's on the end of a bill or what. I
like to see the names on them.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sometimes they've they fund us AID and the people that
that now are shut out of their offices at USA.
They're the ones that have been making those decisions with
of course the recommendations and full stamp of approval of
leftists in the US House and Senate.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
What is there a way we can attach names soon
the people that want of those.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, probably over time. I think I think you're getting
those computers. I think we're going to find out very
quickly who's been pushing all of this waste, fraud, abuse,
and frankly outright stealing of the American people's money.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
This is not just reckless spend.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is just outright theft, and it is it is
such a monumental bureaucratic failure, and this is why we're
a country with forty trillion dollars in debt.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah, it's it's unforgivable to me.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (25:01):
One of the things I want to talk about was
illegal immigrants. I think if if people come to the
United States for asylum, that's one idea, But if they
came for the work VIEWSA, that's a different one. So
I guess I'm look at these people who came for
asylums and go through those and if they missed their
court date, it's just a no brainer. You know, no
court going, you know, you get to deport. So you know,
(25:23):
with overstayers and uh, the asylum people, I think that
they need to go back if their works.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Listen to clean all this up, it's to be transformational.
You've got the entire bureaucracy and then the state run
legacy media mob against you, and and they're not gonna
They're just not gonna go away. They're gonna sit and
they're gonna fight because this is where their power comes from.
(25:51):
Their power comes by spending these billions. Anyway, my friend
I appreciated Dave. I love our friends in Indiana. We
also love our friends in the Free State of Florida.
Tom is in my home state. What's up, Tom? How
are you glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Hey, good afternoon, Sean. It's pleasure to be on your ear.
I want to start with saying that you're a smart
and honest, intelligent and very informative and we the.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
People, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
We work hard every day, we try to do our best.
Well I'm perfect, but we're trying.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Fabulous, fabulous. I make stations stuck on yours from the car.
But some of the points I from the day he
wrote down that escalator. I knew he's a businessman and
that's what we needed in there. And I knew he
wasn't going to make Mexico pay for the wall. It
was going to be the negotiations. Well, right now I
have a question is that there's three bridges that cross Panama,
(26:47):
and those three bridges are the only means of those
people getting across from those southern countries. And we're in
negotiations right now with Panama. So that's another point and
issue is is that's the only way we can stop
them there too. So it's you know, Panama and all
these other countries that that's all Trump does is negotiate.
(27:09):
So he's going to bring all these things to the table.
And he's an extremely small businessman. I've known him, as
you can tell my I'm out of New York, and
unfortunately I don't believe in their ways up there in
the industry I'm in is I'm outnumbered. So that's why
I live now in Florida. But I appreciate you, I
(27:30):
really do.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
And well I appreciate you too, because you know what,
We're all in this together. And you know, if one
thing that we're learning that we really need to highlight
is the opposition to Donald Trump's transformational agenda is real
and we've got to stiff in the spine of these
elected officials and we've got to stay in the fight.
And by the way, I'll predict with Panama, it's going
(27:53):
to come out very favorable to the US that already
is anyway, Tom, appreciate it, buddy, God bless you. Eight
hundred nine, Shawn is a number. Quick break right back.
We'll continue more of your phone calls coming up. Eight
hundred and nine four one sewan as we roll along
this Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Up next our final roundup and information overload hours.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be
a part of the program, Leo Marylyn Next Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Hi, Yeah, Hi Sean. I know in the past you've
always stood up for the men and women in the
rank and file FBI agents, and it's because the time
they may need your voice again, especially the couple thousand
have been seemingly targeted because they worked on the January
(28:55):
sixth case. And I know one of the main goals
in the FBI is to depoliticize it, and this appears
to be a miss misstep in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Well, we need to look at every individual case. That's
what I would say. I had no cash, buttell have
known him for a long time. He's been on the
show many times, and I can tell you that I
have every confidence that he's going to be fair to
every individual. I mean, you think about the disproportionate amount
of resources that were given to January sixth, and we
(29:33):
had five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer
of twenty twenty, and we had dozens of dead Americans,
way more than January sixth. We had thousands of injured cops,
we had billions in property damage, and we had a
presidential candidate vice president at the time saying that the
rioters won't stop, shouldn't stop, and we're not going to stop.
(29:53):
We also had video of the crimes they committed. Many
of the people that committed these crimes was all on
video and they did. You know, I do think that
within the FBI, and they're ignoring illegal immigration at the time,
and they're ignoring other crimes at the time, I think
that there are going to have to be hard questions
(30:16):
for rank and file members in terms of their priority
and whether or not you know, they challenged, you know,
some of the higher ups, and we need people that
understand the true mission of the FBI. And maybe it's
the process of reinterviewing everybody and making sure that they
understand what their job is. I mean, but they've had
(30:39):
terrible leadership under the last two FBI directors. But I
definitely agree with you that I want to be fair
to the rank and file and I want to make
sure that you know, the good people stay. I mean,
we're going to need some we need trained FBI officials.
I want to I want our FBI to be the
world's premiere law enforcement agency.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Again.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But we can't have what's been happening, how it's been
weaponized and politicized. We can't allow that to continue either.
So it's we got to thread the needle there. I
have a lot of confidence in Cash Betel doing that.
I hope that makes you feel better anyway. Eight hundred
ninety four one Shawn is on number if you want
