Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program, it is eight hundred and ninety four one,
Shawn if you'd like to join us. This just breaking.
Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis has been ordered
to pay more than fifty four grand for violating the
(00:21):
state's open record laws in relation to the prosecution of
President Trump. The county's superior court judge formalized her ruling Friday,
ordered Willis to pay the money in attorney's fees litigation
costs after intentionally failing to provide records requested by one
attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting
(00:44):
Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the twenty twenty election. Oops.
Today's sorry about her. We have a lot happening today
and we do expect I don't know if you saw
the video of the docking that took place over the weekend.
It was really a beautiful sight to see. And this
(01:04):
is the SpaceX rocket that made it to the International
Space Station successfully. And then the astronauts that were on
board the flight, meeting the astronauts that have been lost
in space and abandoned for quite a long period of time.
It was pretty cool to watch, I've got to admit,
(01:24):
and I'll just pray for this safe return. It may
be as early as tomorrow. We don't know for sure yet.
They're working on a time for all of that. We
do have a lot of news today, let me get
right to it. On the immigration front. This is getting
more bizarre by the day. And what have I been
saying about the Democratic Party. I have been saying that
they now are the party that are and we saw
(01:45):
this in the Senate last week, that are championing the
rights of men to play women's sports. They are the
party that is putting the rights of illegal immigrants now
even trend A a Ragua gang members over the safety
and security of you, the American people. They're the party
that is calling it a constitutional crisis. That DOGE has
(02:08):
identified over one hundred and five billion dollars in waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption, and they've only gotten started. And that
number I expect to go much much higher. It will
be in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and that
is what this party has now become. And now they
have gone even as far as you know, now championing
(02:33):
and it's almost hard to believe, to be honest with you,
but they're now championing the right of even gang members
like Trendy or Ragwa gang members to stay in the country.
And this is what I've told you about the left
for a long time. What they can't win at the
ballot box electorally, what they can't do legislatively when they
(02:54):
have power, they use liberal courts to get their agenda pass.
And that's why these liberal activist judges are so dangerous
to the country. They don't care about the constitution. But
President Trump has deported nearly three hundred gang members from
Trenday Arragua under what's called the Alien Enemies Act. I'll
(03:15):
go into more specificity in that in a second. The
judge in the case. That order came on Saturday, after
Trump issued a proclamation that he has signed the day before,
targeting Trenda Ragua members for immediate deportation under a law
that has been used on numerous occasions during the War
of eighteen twelve, World War one, World War two, recent examples,
(03:37):
Terry Truman is one, and anyway, it allows for the
deportation without a hearing of anyone from the designated enemy country. Now,
the President was asked about this and said, well, you know,
well this isn't a war. He said, well, actually it is,
and it's an invasion of our country. And we have
known terrorists, gang members, cartel members, drug dealers in our country.
(04:00):
We have people that are known murderers, rapists, and other
violent criminals in our country, and the President wants to
rightly get rid of them. On Saturday, this Obama appointed
federal judge halted the deportation flights carrying these Venezuelan gang members,
ordering actually the jets carrying them to turn around a
(04:20):
mid flight. Now they had already left, so that was
not a possibility. But shortly after the judge's temporary order
was issued, Congressman Brandon Gill announced plans to file articles
of impeachment against the judge. That drew praise from Elon
Musk And obviously this judge is putting, like the Democrats,
are the rights of illegals over the safety of the
(04:43):
American people. Now, the President, on the other side of this,
did thank the el Salvadorian president on Sunday, after the
country's president shared dramatic video of hundreds of alleged migrant
criminals landing in Central America in El Salvador after being
deported from the US by the president. The rap sheet
for those removed include kidnapping, sexual abuse of a child,
(05:06):
aggravated assault, prostitution, robbery, aggravated assault of a police officer.
And so it's true, then the good news is we're
at a fifteen year low of illegal immigrants coming into
the country, and that would be making our towns, in
our cities more safe and more secure. Does a means
of getting these people out of here as we identify
(05:28):
them quicker and quicker? Saturday was two hundred and sixty
one Biden Harris illegals you know, with really violent, serious
criminal records deported and at least some people are cooperating.
And then you've got the radical left and by the way,
the Democrats are in complete dis array. They've all turned
(05:49):
on each other. Jasmine Crockett, who's now emerged as one
of the leading voices of the Democratic Party attacking the
president over the weekend, but deporting members of Trende or
Ragua which is now a designated terrorist organization. She made
the remarks after the President invoked the aliens the Alien
Enemies Act, and the gang is obviously associated with a
(06:10):
lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing, including in your
state of Texas. She was asked, and do you agree
with this and if not, what is your problem with
using any tool at our disposal as a country to
remove undocumented violent people. And Crockett responds by claiming that
the law did not need to be used because we
(06:31):
already have tools that are available. No, they're not. Those
tools keep these people in this country for unprecedented amounts
of times. It's unbelievable. US Customs and Border Patrol as
awarded a construction company now seventy million dollars to extend
the border wall that he began in his first term.
The president also has deployed on the US Mexico border,
(06:53):
the USS gravely gravely, I think, I'm not sure how
you pronounce it is on a mission of strength and
security at the border. One sanctuary city lawyer, there now
is a group of them actually that are plotting and
planning to help illegal immigrants evade Ice. Well, now that
they put out this Minnesota email shows an effort to
push back against the Trump administration's crackdown, and even their
(07:17):
Attorney General, Keith Ellison, issued a former legal opinion that
the state law prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies
from holding someone based on immigration detainer if the person
would otherwise be released from custody. No, actually that dominion
would be with the federal government. Nice try, but they're
moving forward with it anyway. So what has emerged here
(07:39):
is a controversy that really shouldn't be a controversy, but
it is how the left acts in today's day and age,
and that is they resort to the courts as a
means of stopping the Trump agenda. There's now been fifteen
injunctions against President Trump's executive actions and orders, and the
left has gone to court some fifty times and these judges,
(08:02):
you know, eventually, do I think Trump is going to win? Yeah?
I do. The Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized this federal
judge that blocked the deportations of these these gang members.
The White House blasted them. There's no lawful basis for this,
and this is this is radicalism on display. And if
(08:22):
you look at the law, the Federal Judge, the Rule,
the Alien Enemies Act. It is allowed for deportation numerous
times as recently as you know. I think Harry Truman
was the last president to use it. So it's not
like even though it's an older laws, it has been
used by presidents in the past, and I think the
president is using it appropriately here in this case as well.
(08:46):
But you look at a Democratic Party that doesn't have
an identity anymore, and they've lost their identity completely. They
don't know what to do. I don't know how to
deal with any of this, and their poll numbers are
showing it because they're falling apart, all right, and Donald
Trump's numbers keep going up. The Democratic Party. Now we
have three poles in a row that have their favorability
(09:06):
at record lows in the twenty percentile range. Maybe if
they weren't so petulant and didn't throw temper tantrums, maybe
if they'd have the decency to stand for the first
Lady of our country and the president of our country.
Maybe if they had the decency if they're not going
to stand for them, maybe they could stand for mothers
that lost their children, that were being honored at a
Joint Session of Congress. Maybe they could stand for a
(09:29):
young man that beat his battle with cancer that has
a dream of being in law enforcement, or a woman
that lost her hero husband in law enforcement, or a
young man that lost his father that was told he
got into West Point. But if you look at these poles,
it's an unmitigated disaster. You have. You know the NBC poll,
(09:51):
for example, just twenty five percent of registered voters say
they have a positive view of their party. These are
Democrats saying this about their own party. And that is
a a record low. If you want to go back historically,
it's the lowest number that they've had since nineteen ninety,
believe it or not, the lowest positive approval ratings since
nineteen ninety. And you know that's bad. Now here's the
(10:14):
worst part for them. And this is what I've been
telling you. Remember I used to say that Nancy Pelosi
was speaker in name only, and I would suggest that
AOC was the real speaker. Well, when Democrats were asked
to consider an open ended question the Democratic leader they
feel best reflects their core values, the winner was AOC herself,
(10:39):
followed by Kamala Harris, followed by Bernie Sanders, followed by
Hakeem Jeffries with only four percent, naming Obama, President Obama
and Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett. Now she's coming up there,
tied with Obama and Schumer and a handful of others
at just two percent. No wonder are our friend Stevid
A smith is favorite is doing so well in the polls,
(11:03):
But AOC stocking the party so that now we have
a huge after Friday in the continuing resolution mess. I
mean Nancy Pelosi, who coordinated and plotted and schemed and
planned Joe Biden's demise with Schumer. Even she turned against
Schumer and House Democrats a urging AOC now to go
(11:24):
out in primary Schumer after funding the government something that
he said he'd do for years. Even MSDNC is melting down.
He had one of their liberal hosts, Simone Sanders Townsend
tell you her fellow panelists on I guess some show,
whatever show she's on that blasting Chuck Schumer and saying
(11:44):
she's leaving the Democratic Party. Charlemagne the God calls for
Democratic leaders to step down because they dared to vote
to pass the funding bill to avoid the shutdown. What's
the point of voting for them. Well, the point is
Charlemagne may or may not know this, but for the
decade they've been the party that says you can never
have shutdowns. I'm not one of those people, by the way,
(12:04):
I'm not afraid of government shutdowns. But they've just been
unleashing hell on you know, the liberal talking head and
punditry class. And I would say that officially the Chuck Schumer,
you know, is on cancelation watch as we speak. He
watched over the weekend Senator Chris Murphy tiptoeing around a
direct question about whether he's interested in taking over as
(12:26):
minority leader, you know, and you know, he said, oh,
he has a very difficult job. I don't envy the job.
And the question is really for members of the Democratic Caucus,
meaning I'm open to it. Sure, one Democrat on fake
news CNN threatening to bail on the party over their leadership.
This is getting pretty interesting. One liberal group flat out
(12:48):
calling for Schumer to step down. This is this is
all the Trump effect. If we really want to know
what this is, this is the force of Trump. He
has left this party, the Democratic Party, in shambles. He
has destroyed them because the only thing. They've been living
on their manner from heaven has been hating him. The
(13:11):
American people heard them loudly. They watched the law fair.
They watch the abuse of power, they watched the corruption.
They listen to them champion the rights for men and
women's sports. They listen to the lies about Joe's cognitive state.
They listen to the lies about the economy. They listened
to the lies about open borders, and they decided to
(13:34):
move away from that party. And Donald Trump even won
the popular vote. Even Van Jones Chuck Schumer's in a
blast radius of a volcanic volcanic eruption of anger from Democrats.
The only one that sounds a little bit reasonable is
John Fetterman. And the only other one that sounds reasonable
isn't there anymore Kristen Cinema, you know who actually took
(13:57):
on AOC and the Democrats mocking their change of heart
because they've always been against shutting down the government and
this is something I guess maybe they forgot. But for
Nancy Pelosi to defy her comrade and arms Schumer and
ask Democratic senators to defy Schumer on the cr pretty interesting.
(14:19):
She doesn't really care about having any friends at the
end of this run. It is not a small deal.
I believe this is a tremendous mistake AOC. And just
to go back Democrats now three separate polls hitting their
all time low fake news comparing AOC's rise as the
Democrat mentioned the most, which kind of surprised me a
(14:42):
little bit. In a poll that came out AOC in
an open ended question who best reflects the core values
of the party, she came in number one. Chuck Schumer's
down at the bottom. But you know, comparing AOC's rise,
you know she best represents Democratic voters. Yasmin Crockett is
even higher than Chucky Schumer. We will win, We will win.
(15:08):
I mean, Chuck Schumer is now in a fight for
his life. It would not shock or surprise me if
there is an effort to remove Chuck Schumer as the
Senate Minority leader. That would not shock me, especially with
these new poll numbers. I mean, remember, I mean they
can blame members all they want for their bingo cards
and not standing at the joint session of Congress. For
(15:30):
even mothers that lost their children and and a young
man that lost you know that won is battle against cancer.
But at the end of the day, they are the
ones that signed off on this. This They did not
act alone. They were not told. You know, it was
well telegraphed in advance that they were going to carry
on like a bunch of idiots, and yet they allowed
(15:52):
that to continue and allow that to take place. In
the media, by the way, is playing along as well.
And you know, I love the fact. Caroline Levitt, she'll
be on Hanniday tonight with the Hannity White House Briefing.
She's not going to the White House Correspondence dinner. Why
should she? I am proud of the fact. In all
(16:13):
my years thirty five years in radio, twenty nine years
on the Fox News Channel, I've never been to a
single White House Correspondence dinner. And I used to get
a lot of pressure to go. I have no desire
to go because I don't really like them or respect
what they do. Let me be blunt, and they probably
don't like or respect what I do because I'm right
usually and they end up being wrong. A group of
(16:35):
media and political elites in Washington took a shot at
President Trump by bucking a one hundred and forty year
long tradition during a white tie closed door DC dinner.
Multiple reports detailed the events Sunday as if anybody in
I bet you, I bet you ninety eight percent of
you don't even know what I'm talking about. They had
the Gridiron Dinner. It's an event that goes back to
(16:58):
the nineteenth century, quote, heavy hitters in the Washington media
and political elite class. And they gather and engage and
take friendly jabs at one another, as that's their description,
and presidents have regularly attended. Trump has not been at
the dinner since twenty eighteen. I'm sure he's got better
things to do. According to one account of the proceedings,
(17:21):
the attendees swiped a Trump breaking tradition that dates back
to their founding in eighteen eighty five, and those in
attendance did not toast the president for the first time
in the dinner's history. They do they actually think, I mean,
this is the first time that's ever happened in one
hundred and forty years. Do they think that their symbolism
actually means anything to anybody in the country, Oh, it doesn't.
(17:46):
Getting rid of the illegal immigrants does, getting rid of
known terrorists, murderers, rapist cartel members, gang members, Yeah, that matters.
And you know, they're just like the Democrats with their
bingo cards, is they basically are won over. At that
hard hitting news show, The View, I notice Sonny Houston
(18:07):
is claiming she is stuck in racist America and she
wants to leave. He feels she would like to move
out of the country, but she can't. He says, we're
pretty racist. It's a pretty young democracy that doesn't seem
to be working right now. Oh, because she didn't get
her way, and she did the election didn't go her way,
(18:27):
so it doesn't seem to be working for everyone. And
I think Rosie O'Donnell's, you know, it's her prerogative. It
doesn't work for her and her family, and she's just
one of the few people that can pick up her
life and move it somewhere. Most of us are stuck here.
I don't think most people feel that they're stuck in America.
Bill Maher actually, you know, trying to instill a little
(18:49):
common sense into his party. Anyway, He had a segment
on Friday, and he said that the environmental money spent
by the Biden administration in their final days just funneling
money to people who are not solving problems. He's right,
and then he actually questioned, why do we need a
Department of education? I talked about this last week. It
(19:10):
was a big front page story on the New York
Post about how they spend forty some odd you know,
billion dollars on education for kids in New York City
and that the kids in New York City, that the
population of students is down what eighteen percent from just
a few years ago, and they're asking for more money
(19:32):
this year. The truancy rate is up thirty five percent.
Proficiency in math and science are in the twenty percent
twenty to thirty percentile range for fourth graders and the
same for eighth graders. These kids are not getting an education.
Why do we need a department of education that fails
at that level? What's the point of it? Imagine, I'll
(19:55):
go back to the example I used last week. You
have ten families, say you gave them thirty thousand dollars
in New York City each, Okay, and they get to
spend the money on their kids' education, and you have
standards that have to be met, and you have the
expectancy that they're going to learn. And let's say those
ten parents that they pooled their money together. That's three
(20:18):
hundred thousand dollars. They can hire two teachers at a
nice six figure salary with benefits, health care and retirement,
and take good care of the teachers. Each teacher would
be would be tutoring five students. Now, who do you
think is going to do better on standardized testing? Those
(20:41):
kids are the kids that are stuck in these private
schools that are failing. The Daily Mail offered a few
of the sixty one hundred Americans rich and famous elites
who fled the US and applied for UK citizenship, terrified
of the ghost stories told themselves about President Trump. I
(21:02):
love how they write those up, dubbed the Donald bashers.
They're bolting for New Zealand and the UK a twenty
six percent jump from twenty twenty three and a record
high in two decades. And if you look at the
people that are leaving, I'm like, if you don't like
it here, then then go. If Rosie O'Donnell, if Ellen DeGeneres,
(21:22):
if they don't like it here, they can go. Avin
Newsom is likely thrilled to be turning out next year
so he can put it some distance between this. He's
now doing his big podcast, trying to put on as
many conservatives as he can. His biggest problem is he
has a track record, and he's on tape. You know,
(21:43):
he's been what the mayor of San Francisco, He's been
the lieutenant governor for eight years and it will have
been the governor for eight years. It's not like as
he can run from that record. I don't think that's possible.
That's the state of the modern Democratic Party. The president
this weekend had used air strikes that took out many
(22:08):
multiple leaders of the yemen Iranian backed Huti rebels. According
to National Security Advisor and according to Donald Trump, the strikes,
which are expected to continue as part of the US
military's largest operations so far under President Trump's second term,
are meant to serve as a direct warning to Iran
(22:30):
and to clear and a clear escalation from where we
have been under Biden, which was, oh okay, you can
stop our ships from from sailing at international waterways. You
know this this began. Central Command confirmed the large scale
military bombardment across Yemen. Apparently they've taken out a lot
(22:51):
of high level leaders. Anyway, the carrier was seen in
the Red Sea and it's sent there to protect global commerce.
The Pentagon estimates that the Hoodies have attacked US warships
a wopping one hundred and seventy four times commercial vehicles
one hundred and forty five times under Joe Biden since
twenty twenty three. And the Hoodi attacks on American ships
(23:13):
and aircraft and our troops are not going to be tolerated.
And by the way, nor will it be tolerated what
Iran is doing. And the President went right after Iran
as well. He threatened today direct military action against Iran
after military force has spent the weekend bombing the Hoodi rebels. Now,
the only reason the Hoodies are even involved in this
(23:35):
fight against Israel, against commerce and threatening international waterways is
because they have the military backing of Iran, just like
Hamas does, just like Asbola does, just like Islamic Jihad does,
and Iran is the head of the snake, and they've
been fomenting terror throughout the entire region anyway. NBC reported
(23:56):
that the US killed fifty three combatants. A Hoodi ran
A leader told the network that US strikes would only
serve to inspire other attacks on ships. Okay, if they're
passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aiden.
Go right ahead with that and see how that's gonna
end up for you. Anyway, The President took the truth
social and he is view. He said, let nobody be fooled.
(24:19):
The hundreds of attacks being made by the Houties, the
sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen who are hated
by the Yemeny people, all emanate and are created by Iran.
Any attacks, further attacks, retaliation by the Hoodies will be
met with great force, and there is no guarantee that
force will stop there. Iran has played the innocent victim
(24:42):
of rogue terrorists from which they've lost control. But they
haven't lost control. They're dictating every move, giving them the weapons,
supplying them with money and highly sophisticated military equipment, and
even in so called intelligence. Every shot fired by the
Hoodies will be looked up from this point forward as
(25:02):
being a shot fired from the weapons and the leadership
of Iran and Iran will be held responsible and suffer
the consequences, and those consequences will be dire. Now the
world is faced with a moment of truth, and we're
getting closer and closer to it, and that is, according
to the IAEA, not exactly the most reliable organization, the
(25:26):
International Atomic Energy Group. They the Iranians are within like
a needle, you know, threading a needle to get nuclear weapons.
They're that close. The world cannot afford allowing the Iranians
(25:48):
to get nuclear weapons. Number One, it will create a
nuclear arms race the likes of which nobody ever dreamed
of in the Middle East. Then Saudis will be next,
and then every other country will follow. So that's bad
news for the world too. I mean that now we're
risking a nuclear holocaust in our lifetime. But more importantly,
they're twisted sick ideology of convert or die and their
(26:12):
willingness to use even ballistic missiles against Israel. Their threats
to wipe Israel off the map and wipe America off
the map have to be taken seriously. And if we
don't take it seriously and we wait too long, then
I think it'll go down as one of the biggest
mistakes ever. Now, all of this happened under Joe Biden,
(26:33):
and we better understand that part of this equation as well.
He helped the Iranians get rich. He put a blind
eye towards their sanctions, and he even gave special approval
for payments from Iraq and elsewhere and gave them billions
of dollars so they can filment terror. They were going
bankrupt when Donald Trump left office because Donald Trump's sanctions
(26:55):
were actually working. So it's getting interested. But there's two
targets that the US and Israel have to look at.
Take out the source of their funding, which would be
their refineries. That would be target number one if I
was in charge. Target number two, take out their nuclear sites.
(27:17):
Now the Israelis have already proven they can get past
their air defenses, this has to be done before they
build them back up again. Number one and number two.
These facilities, according to all the intelligence that is in
the public domain, are deeply buried underground. That likely means
they'll need bunk or buster bombs and they'll need some
(27:39):
American support. But I don't think we have much time.
By the way, a new controversy has emerged. While the
President was on Air Force one last night, he was
asked whether the executive orders and pardons that were allegedly
signed by Biden via an autopen are void as I think,
(28:00):
so it's not my decision that's going to be up
to a court. He said the pardoning documents were not
explained to or approved by Biden. They knew nothing about them,
and the people that did that may have committed a crime.
I mean, when did a president start using an auto pen?
I mean, is it that much work to take a
(28:20):
pen to paper grief? I do it every day
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down our toll
free telephone number if you want to be a part
of the program, it is eight hundred and ninety four one,
Shawn if you'd like to join us. This just breaking.
Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis has been ordered
to pay more than fifty four grand for violating the
(00:21):
state's open record laws in relation to the prosecution of
President Trump. The county's superior court judge formalized her ruling Friday,
ordered Willis to pay the money in attorney's fees litigation
costs after intentionally failing to provide records requested by one
attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting
(00:44):
Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the twenty twenty election. Oops.
Today's sorry about her. We have a lot happening today
and we do expect I don't know if you saw
the video of the docking that took place over the weekend.
It was really a beautiful sight to see. And this
(01:04):
is the SpaceX rocket that made it to the International
Space Station successfully. And then the astronauts that were on
board the flight, meeting the astronauts that have been lost
in space and abandoned for quite a long period of time.
It was pretty cool to watch, I've got to admit,
(01:24):
and I'll just pray for this safe return. It may
be as early as tomorrow. We don't know for sure yet.
They're working on a time for all of that. We
do have a lot of news today, let me get
right to it. On the immigration front. This is getting
more bizarre by the day. And what have I been
saying about the Democratic Party. I have been saying that
they now are the party that are and we saw
(01:45):
this in the Senate last week, that are championing the
rights of men to play women's sports. They are the
party that is putting the rights of illegal immigrants now
even trend A a Ragua gang members over the safety
and security of you, the American people. They're the party
that is calling it a constitutional crisis. That DOGE has
(02:08):
identified over one hundred and five billion dollars in waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption, and they've only gotten started. And that
number I expect to go much much higher. It will
be in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and that
is what this party has now become. And now they
have gone even as far as you know, now championing
(02:33):
and it's almost hard to believe, to be honest with you,
but they're now championing the right of even gang members
like Trendy or Ragwa gang members to stay in the country.
And this is what I've told you about the left
for a long time. What they can't win at the
ballot box electorally, what they can't do legislatively when they
(02:54):
have power, they use liberal courts to get their agenda pass.
And that's why these liberal activist judges are so dangerous
to the country. They don't care about the constitution. But
President Trump has deported nearly three hundred gang members from
Trenday Arragua under what's called the Alien Enemies Act. I'll
(03:15):
go into more specificity in that in a second. The
judge in the case. That order came on Saturday, after
Trump issued a proclamation that he has signed the day before,
targeting Trenda Ragua members for immediate deportation under a law
that has been used on numerous occasions during the War
of eighteen twelve, World War one, World War two, recent examples,
(03:37):
Terry Truman is one, and anyway, it allows for the
deportation without a hearing of anyone from the designated enemy country. Now,
the President was asked about this and said, well, you know,
well this isn't a war. He said, well, actually it is,
and it's an invasion of our country. And we have
known terrorists, gang members, cartel members, drug dealers in our country.
(04:00):
We have people that are known murderers, rapists, and other
violent criminals in our country, and the President wants to
rightly get rid of them. On Saturday, this Obama appointed
federal judge halted the deportation flights carrying these Venezuelan gang members,
ordering actually the jets carrying them to turn around a
(04:20):
mid flight. Now they had already left, so that was
not a possibility. But shortly after the judge's temporary order
was issued, Congressman Brandon Gill announced plans to file articles
of impeachment against the judge. That drew praise from Elon
Musk And obviously this judge is putting, like the Democrats,
are the rights of illegals over the safety of the
(04:43):
American people. Now, the President, on the other side of this,
did thank the el Salvadorian president on Sunday, after the
country's president shared dramatic video of hundreds of alleged migrant
criminals landing in Central America in El Salvador after being
deported from the US by the president. The rap sheet
for those removed include kidnapping, sexual abuse of a child,
(05:06):
aggravated assault, prostitution, robbery, aggravated assault of a police officer.
And so it's true, then the good news is we're
at a fifteen year low of illegal immigrants coming into
the country, and that would be making our towns, in
our cities more safe and more secure. Does a means
of getting these people out of here as we identify
(05:28):
them quicker and quicker? Saturday was two hundred and sixty
one Biden Harris illegals you know, with really violent, serious
criminal records deported and at least some people are cooperating.
And then you've got the radical left and by the way,
the Democrats are in complete dis array. They've all turned
(05:49):
on each other. Jasmine Crockett, who's now emerged as one
of the leading voices of the Democratic Party attacking the
president over the weekend, but deporting members of Trende or
Ragua which is now a designated terrorist organization. She made
the remarks after the President invoked the aliens the Alien
Enemies Act, and the gang is obviously associated with a
(06:10):
lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing, including in your
state of Texas. She was asked, and do you agree
with this and if not, what is your problem with
using any tool at our disposal as a country to
remove undocumented violent people. And Crockett responds by claiming that
the law did not need to be used because we
(06:31):
already have tools that are available. No, they're not. Those
tools keep these people in this country for unprecedented amounts
of times. It's unbelievable. US Customs and Border Patrol as
awarded a construction company now seventy million dollars to extend
the border wall that he began in his first term.
The president also has deployed on the US Mexico border,
(06:53):
the USS gravely gravely, I think, I'm not sure how
you pronounce it is on a mission of strength and
security at the border. One sanctuary city lawyer, there now
is a group of them actually that are plotting and
planning to help illegal immigrants evade Ice. Well, now that
they put out this Minnesota email shows an effort to
push back against the Trump administration's crackdown, and even their
(07:17):
Attorney General, Keith Ellison, issued a former legal opinion that
the state law prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies
from holding someone based on immigration detainer if the person
would otherwise be released from custody. No, actually that dominion
would be with the federal government. Nice try, but they're
moving forward with it anyway. So what has emerged here
(07:39):
is a controversy that really shouldn't be a controversy, but
it is how the left acts in today's day and age,
and that is they resort to the courts as a
means of stopping the Trump agenda. There's now been fifteen
injunctions against President Trump's executive actions and orders, and the
left has gone to court some fifty times and these judges,
(08:02):
you know, eventually, do I think Trump is going to win? Yeah?
I do. The Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized this federal
judge that blocked the deportations of these these gang members.
The White House blasted them. There's no lawful basis for this,
and this is this is radicalism on display. And if
(08:22):
you look at the law, the Federal Judge, the Rule,
the Alien Enemies Act. It is allowed for deportation numerous
times as recently as you know. I think Harry Truman
was the last president to use it. So it's not
like even though it's an older laws, it has been
used by presidents in the past, and I think the
president is using it appropriately here in this case as well.
(08:46):
But you look at a Democratic Party that doesn't have
an identity anymore, and they've lost their identity completely. They
don't know what to do. I don't know how to
deal with any of this, and their poll numbers are
showing it because they're falling apart, all right, and Donald
Trump's numbers keep going up. The Democratic Party. Now we
have three poles in a row that have their favorability
(09:06):
at record lows in the twenty percentile range. Maybe if
they weren't so petulant and didn't throw temper tantrums, maybe
if they'd have the decency to stand for the first
Lady of our country and the president of our country.
Maybe if they had the decency if they're not going
to stand for them, maybe they could stand for mothers
that lost their children, that were being honored at a
Joint Session of Congress. Maybe they could stand for a
(09:29):
young man that beat his battle with cancer that has
a dream of being in law enforcement, or a woman
that lost her hero husband in law enforcement, or a
young man that lost his father that was told he
got into West Point. But if you look at these poles,
it's an unmitigated disaster. You have. You know the NBC poll,
(09:51):
for example, just twenty five percent of registered voters say
they have a positive view of their party. These are
Democrats saying this about their own party. And that is
a a record low. If you want to go back historically,
it's the lowest number that they've had since nineteen ninety,
believe it or not, the lowest positive approval ratings since
nineteen ninety. And you know that's bad. Now here's the
(10:14):
worst part for them. And this is what I've been
telling you. Remember I used to say that Nancy Pelosi
was speaker in name only, and I would suggest that
AOC was the real speaker. Well, when Democrats were asked
to consider an open ended question the Democratic leader they
feel best reflects their core values, the winner was AOC herself,
(10:39):
followed by Kamala Harris, followed by Bernie Sanders, followed by
Hakeem Jeffries with only four percent, naming Obama, President Obama
and Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett. Now she's coming up there,
tied with Obama and Schumer and a handful of others
at just two percent. No wonder are our friend Stevid
A smith is favorite is doing so well in the polls,
(11:03):
But AOC stocking the party so that now we have
a huge after Friday in the continuing resolution mess. I
mean Nancy Pelosi, who coordinated and plotted and schemed and
planned Joe Biden's demise with Schumer. Even she turned against
Schumer and House Democrats a urging AOC now to go
(11:24):
out in primary Schumer after funding the government something that
he said he'd do for years. Even MSDNC is melting down.
He had one of their liberal hosts, Simone Sanders Townsend
tell you her fellow panelists on I guess some show,
whatever show she's on that blasting Chuck Schumer and saying
(11:44):
she's leaving the Democratic Party. Charlemagne the God calls for
Democratic leaders to step down because they dared to vote
to pass the funding bill to avoid the shutdown. What's
the point of voting for them. Well, the point is
Charlemagne may or may not know this, but for the
decade they've been the party that says you can never
have shutdowns. I'm not one of those people, by the way,
(12:04):
I'm not afraid of government shutdowns. But they've just been
unleashing hell on you know, the liberal talking head and
punditry class. And I would say that officially the Chuck Schumer,
you know, is on cancelation watch as we speak. He
watched over the weekend Senator Chris Murphy tiptoeing around a
direct question about whether he's interested in taking over as
(12:26):
minority leader, you know, and you know, he said, oh,
he has a very difficult job. I don't envy the job.
And the question is really for members of the Democratic Caucus,
meaning I'm open to it. Sure, one Democrat on fake
news CNN threatening to bail on the party over their leadership.
This is getting pretty interesting. One liberal group flat out
(12:48):
calling for Schumer to step down. This is this is
all the Trump effect. If we really want to know
what this is, this is the force of Trump. He
has left this party, the Democratic Party, in shambles. He
has destroyed them because the only thing. They've been living
on their manner from heaven has been hating him. The
(13:11):
American people heard them loudly. They watched the law fair.
They watch the abuse of power, they watched the corruption.
They listen to them champion the rights for men and
women's sports. They listen to the lies about Joe's cognitive state.
They listen to the lies about the economy. They listened
to the lies about open borders, and they decided to
(13:34):
move away from that party. And Donald Trump even won
the popular vote. Even Van Jones Chuck Schumer's in a
blast radius of a volcanic volcanic eruption of anger from Democrats.
The only one that sounds a little bit reasonable is
John Fetterman. And the only other one that sounds reasonable
isn't there anymore Kristen Cinema, you know who actually took
(13:57):
on AOC and the Democrats mocking their change of heart
because they've always been against shutting down the government and
this is something I guess maybe they forgot. But for
Nancy Pelosi to defy her comrade and arms Schumer and
ask Democratic senators to defy Schumer on the cr pretty interesting.
(14:19):
She doesn't really care about having any friends at the
end of this run. It is not a small deal.
I believe this is a tremendous mistake AOC. And just
to go back Democrats now three separate polls hitting their
all time low fake news comparing AOC's rise as the
Democrat mentioned the most, which kind of surprised me a
(14:42):
little bit. In a poll that came out AOC in
an open ended question who best reflects the core values
of the party, she came in number one. Chuck Schumer's
down at the bottom. But you know, comparing AOC's rise,
you know she best represents Democratic voters. Yasmin Crockett is
even higher than Chucky Schumer. We will win, We will win.
(15:08):
I mean, Chuck Schumer is now in a fight for
his life. It would not shock or surprise me if
there is an effort to remove Chuck Schumer as the
Senate Minority leader. That would not shock me, especially with
these new poll numbers. I mean, remember, I mean they
can blame members all they want for their bingo cards
and not standing at the joint session of Congress. For
(15:30):
even mothers that lost their children and and a young
man that lost you know that won is battle against cancer.
But at the end of the day, they are the
ones that signed off on this. This They did not
act alone. They were not told. You know, it was
well telegraphed in advance that they were going to carry
on like a bunch of idiots, and yet they allowed
(15:52):
that to continue and allow that to take place. In
the media, by the way, is playing along as well.
And you know, I love the fact. Caroline Levitt, she'll
be on Hanniday tonight with the Hannity White House Briefing.
She's not going to the White House Correspondence dinner. Why
should she? I am proud of the fact. In all
(16:13):
my years thirty five years in radio, twenty nine years
on the Fox News Channel, I've never been to a
single White House Correspondence dinner. And I used to get
a lot of pressure to go. I have no desire
to go because I don't really like them or respect
what they do. Let me be blunt, and they probably
don't like or respect what I do because I'm right
usually and they end up being wrong. A group of
(16:35):
media and political elites in Washington took a shot at
President Trump by bucking a one hundred and forty year
long tradition during a white tie closed door DC dinner.
Multiple reports detailed the events Sunday as if anybody in
I bet you, I bet you ninety eight percent of
you don't even know what I'm talking about. They had
the Gridiron Dinner. It's an event that goes back to
(16:58):
the nineteenth century, quote, heavy hitters in the Washington media
and political elite class. And they gather and engage and
take friendly jabs at one another, as that's their description,
and presidents have regularly attended. Trump has not been at
the dinner since twenty eighteen. I'm sure he's got better
things to do. According to one account of the proceedings,
(17:21):
the attendees swiped a Trump breaking tradition that dates back
to their founding in eighteen eighty five, and those in
attendance did not toast the president for the first time
in the dinner's history. They do they actually think, I mean,
this is the first time that's ever happened in one
hundred and forty years. Do they think that their symbolism
actually means anything to anybody in the country, Oh, it doesn't.
(17:46):
Getting rid of the illegal immigrants does, getting rid of
known terrorists, murderers, rapist cartel members, gang members, Yeah, that matters.
And you know, they're just like the Democrats with their
bingo cards, is they basically are won over. At that
hard hitting news show, The View, I notice Sonny Houston
(18:07):
is claiming she is stuck in racist America and she
wants to leave. He feels she would like to move
out of the country, but she can't. He says, we're
pretty racist. It's a pretty young democracy that doesn't seem
to be working right now. Oh, because she didn't get
her way, and she did the election didn't go her way,
(18:27):
so it doesn't seem to be working for everyone. And
I think Rosie O'Donnell's, you know, it's her prerogative. It
doesn't work for her and her family, and she's just
one of the few people that can pick up her
life and move it somewhere. Most of us are stuck here.
I don't think most people feel that they're stuck in America.
Bill Maher actually, you know, trying to instill a little
(18:49):
common sense into his party. Anyway, He had a segment
on Friday, and he said that the environmental money spent
by the Biden administration in their final days just funneling
money to people who are not solving problems. He's right,
and then he actually questioned, why do we need a
Department of education? I talked about this last week. It
(19:10):
was a big front page story on the New York
Post about how they spend forty some odd you know,
billion dollars on education for kids in New York City
and that the kids in New York City, that the
population of students is down what eighteen percent from just
a few years ago, and they're asking for more money
(19:32):
this year. The truancy rate is up thirty five percent.
Proficiency in math and science are in the twenty percent
twenty to thirty percentile range for fourth graders and the
same for eighth graders. These kids are not getting an education.
Why do we need a department of education that fails
at that level? What's the point of it? Imagine, I'll
(19:55):
go back to the example I used last week. You
have ten families, say you gave them thirty thousand dollars
in New York City each, Okay, and they get to
spend the money on their kids' education, and you have
standards that have to be met, and you have the
expectancy that they're going to learn. And let's say those
ten parents that they pooled their money together. That's three
(20:18):
hundred thousand dollars. They can hire two teachers at a
nice six figure salary with benefits, health care and retirement,
and take good care of the teachers. Each teacher would
be would be tutoring five students. Now, who do you
think is going to do better on standardized testing? Those
(20:41):
kids are the kids that are stuck in these private
schools that are failing. The Daily Mail offered a few
of the sixty one hundred Americans rich and famous elites
who fled the US and applied for UK citizenship, terrified
of the ghost stories told themselves about President Trump. I
(21:02):
love how they write those up, dubbed the Donald bashers.
They're bolting for New Zealand and the UK a twenty
six percent jump from twenty twenty three and a record
high in two decades. And if you look at the
people that are leaving, I'm like, if you don't like
it here, then then go. If Rosie O'Donnell, if Ellen DeGeneres,
(21:22):
if they don't like it here, they can go. Avin
Newsom is likely thrilled to be turning out next year
so he can put it some distance between this. He's
now doing his big podcast, trying to put on as
many conservatives as he can. His biggest problem is he
has a track record, and he's on tape. You know,
(21:43):
he's been what the mayor of San Francisco, He's been
the lieutenant governor for eight years and it will have
been the governor for eight years. It's not like as
he can run from that record. I don't think that's possible.
That's the state of the modern Democratic Party. The president
this weekend had used air strikes that took out many
(22:08):
multiple leaders of the yemen Iranian backed Huti rebels. According
to National Security Advisor and according to Donald Trump, the strikes,
which are expected to continue as part of the US
military's largest operations so far under President Trump's second term,
are meant to serve as a direct warning to Iran
(22:30):
and to clear and a clear escalation from where we
have been under Biden, which was, oh okay, you can
stop our ships from from sailing at international waterways. You
know this this began. Central Command confirmed the large scale
military bombardment across Yemen. Apparently they've taken out a lot
(22:51):
of high level leaders. Anyway, the carrier was seen in
the Red Sea and it's sent there to protect global commerce.
The Pentagon estimates that the Hoodies have attacked US warships
a wopping one hundred and seventy four times commercial vehicles
one hundred and forty five times under Joe Biden since
twenty twenty three. And the Hoodi attacks on American ships
(23:13):
and aircraft and our troops are not going to be tolerated.
And by the way, nor will it be tolerated what
Iran is doing. And the President went right after Iran
as well. He threatened today direct military action against Iran
after military force has spent the weekend bombing the Hoodi rebels. Now,
the only reason the Hoodies are even involved in this
(23:35):
fight against Israel, against commerce and threatening international waterways is
because they have the military backing of Iran, just like
Hamas does, just like Asbola does, just like Islamic Jihad does,
and Iran is the head of the snake, and they've
been fomenting terror throughout the entire region anyway. NBC reported
(23:56):
that the US killed fifty three combatants. A Hoodi ran
A leader told the network that US strikes would only
serve to inspire other attacks on ships. Okay, if they're
passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aiden.
Go right ahead with that and see how that's gonna
end up for you. Anyway, The President took the truth
social and he is view. He said, let nobody be fooled.
(24:19):
The hundreds of attacks being made by the Houties, the
sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen who are hated
by the Yemeny people, all emanate and are created by Iran.
Any attacks, further attacks, retaliation by the Hoodies will be
met with great force, and there is no guarantee that
force will stop there. Iran has played the innocent victim
(24:42):
of rogue terrorists from which they've lost control. But they
haven't lost control. They're dictating every move, giving them the weapons,
supplying them with money and highly sophisticated military equipment, and
even in so called intelligence. Every shot fired by the
Hoodies will be looked up from this point forward as
(25:02):
being a shot fired from the weapons and the leadership
of Iran and Iran will be held responsible and suffer
the consequences, and those consequences will be dire. Now the
world is faced with a moment of truth, and we're
getting closer and closer to it, and that is, according
to the IAEA, not exactly the most reliable organization, the
(25:26):
International Atomic Energy Group. They the Iranians are within like
a needle, you know, threading a needle to get nuclear weapons.
They're that close. The world cannot afford allowing the Iranians
(25:48):
to get nuclear weapons. Number One, it will create a
nuclear arms race the likes of which nobody ever dreamed
of in the Middle East. Then Saudis will be next,
and then every other country will follow. So that's bad
news for the world too. I mean that now we're
risking a nuclear holocaust in our lifetime. But more importantly,
they're twisted sick ideology of convert or die and their
(26:12):
willingness to use even ballistic missiles against Israel. Their threats
to wipe Israel off the map and wipe America off
the map have to be taken seriously. And if we
don't take it seriously and we wait too long, then
I think it'll go down as one of the biggest
mistakes ever. Now, all of this happened under Joe Biden,
(26:33):
and we better understand that part of this equation as well.
He helped the Iranians get rich. He put a blind
eye towards their sanctions, and he even gave special approval
for payments from Iraq and elsewhere and gave them billions
of dollars so they can filment terror. They were going
bankrupt when Donald Trump left office because Donald Trump's sanctions
(26:55):
were actually working. So it's getting interested. But there's two
targets that the US and Israel have to look at.
Take out the source of their funding, which would be
their refineries. That would be target number one if I
was in charge. Target number two, take out their nuclear sites.
(27:17):
Now the Israelis have already proven they can get past
their air defenses, this has to be done before they
build them back up again. Number one and number two.
These facilities, according to all the intelligence that is in
the public domain, are deeply buried underground. That likely means
they'll need bunk or buster bombs and they'll need some
(27:39):
American support. But I don't think we have much time.
By the way, a new controversy has emerged. While the
President was on Air Force one last night, he was
asked whether the executive orders and pardons that were allegedly
signed by Biden via an autopen are void as I think,
(28:00):
so it's not my decision that's going to be up
to a court. He said the pardoning documents were not
explained to or approved by Biden. They knew nothing about them,
and the people that did that may have committed a crime.
I mean, when did a president start using an auto pen?
I mean, is it that much work to take a
(28:20):
pen to paper grief? I do it every day
