Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stay right here for our final news roundup and Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right News round up in Information Overload hour. Here
is our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. We'll get to more
of your calls coming up in mere moments. We have
a Democratic party that is in complete meltdown mode. Chris
Murphy over the weekend was on no conversation about me
taking over for Schumer. We may not have a democracy
(00:26):
in a year. Listen this on Meet the Press.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Many of your supporters responded online saying you should replace
leader Schumer.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Is that something that you would consider? Would you consider
that role?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I mean, I don't think anybody's having that conversation right now.
What's important is that we meet this moment. And what
I'm telling you is that if we continue to observe norms,
if we continue to engage in business as usual, this
democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a
year to save American democracy.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think the way the.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
President is acting, using law enforcement to target dissidents, harassing
TV stations and radio stations that criticize him, endorsing political
violence puts our democracy at immediate risk.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The person that endors political violence was their presidential candidate.
They're not going to stop writing, shouldn't stop writing. We're
not going to stop supporting them. But just as mirror reminder,
we now have three separate polls Democrats are in the
twenty percentile approval range. And it's only getting worse. We
(01:38):
saw what happened at the State of the Union. We
you know, I meanwhile a week ago hiking Jeffries. We
say we've got him on the run. Oh, they don't
have him on the run. Ms DNC analysts supporting unleashing
on Schumer for his vote in favor of this, and
you know, it's just getting worse, and work for Schumer
(02:00):
every single day. They don't have a leader, they don't
have a vision. They can't even stand for moms that
lost their children. They can't stand for a young man
that beat cancer. They can't stand for the wife of
a slain officer. They can't stand for the first lady
at the Joint Session, they can't stand for the president
at the Joint Session. And liberal groups now calling for
(02:21):
Schumer to step aside MSDNC, you know, basically saying that
Schumer piling on him folded like a paper Napkin Van Jones,
Chuck Schumer in in a blast radius of a volcanic
eruption of anger from Democrats. You know, the only one
that I heard that made a little bit of sense
(02:44):
was Kristin Cinema, who's no longer there. Breathtaking the undemocratic
unloading on AOC and the rest of the Democratic Party.
And anyway, Nancy Pelosi turning in Schumer. I mean, they were,
you know, comrades and arms in the and the coup
against Joe Biden. Now apparently they're not getting along. Pelosi
(03:04):
calling on Democratic senators before the vote on Friday to
devide Schumer. And anyway, we'll see what happens. Anyway, Joining
us now is Congressman Byron Donalds from my free state
of Florida. He just made it an announcement that he's
running for governor down here after Ron DeSantis' term.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
How are you, sir, I'm doing good.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Sean, How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Why would you ever want to leave that? Adam Schiffol.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
First of all, we have a great state in Florida,
and then we're gonna have to continue to build on
the great leadership of the governor's Governor DeSantis Governor Scott,
who've done a great job in the past, and make
sure that we're leading the country when it comes to
how you run a state and having a place everybody
can live free, growing economy, raise a family, and really
see the American dream become a reality. And that's the
(03:56):
state of Florida. But I got to tell you, watch
what's happening to the Democrat Party because they've been lying
for years sean about real policy, what the American people
wanted to see. They lied about President Trump, and now
that stuff is all coming home for them and they
got to deal with the consequences. The people don't believe them,
(04:17):
the media can't cover for them. And Donald Trump is
doing the thing we knew he was going to do,
which is lead on day one, be effective, and make
sure he was going to push the h the America
First agenda on all fronts, and the Democrats don't know
what to do. They're in disarray. I'm personally enjoying it,
but at the same time, you know, you have to
(04:37):
move on to the next step in life, and Florida
is going to need a new governor. And I'm endorsed.
I'm endorsed by President Trump proud to have his support,
and we're going to continue to have the Sunshine State
be the free state and the best state in the country.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Do you expect the primary. There's a lot of talk
that maybe the first lady, Casey Desantus, will get into
the race.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What are your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Well, it remains to be seen. I mean, we'll cross
the that bridge when we come to it. What I'm
doing is, you know, going through the state the state,
meeting with stakeholders as quickly as I can. Obviously, you're
running a campaign, so you have to raise money to
that for the effort, and that's going very well, and
then collecting support. Obviously I have President Trump support, we
(05:19):
have the Club for Growth, Dave endorsed me as the
next governor of Florida, and then I have several officials
in our states that you know, we're going to be
able to announce shortly, and so I'm just excited for
the response to my candidacy. If somebody else gets in,
we'll we'll deal with that as it comes.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know, you you have emerged as a real leader
of the Republican Party and especially in Washington, and I
think there's a lot of people that that don't even
want you to leave Washington because you've become such a powerful,
effective voice.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And however, I think it's much better to be a
chief executive then it would be to be a congressman.
I think that it's just naturally based on the way
it's configured. I think it's just dysfunctional. All am I wrong.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Congress is very dysfunctional. And part of the reason is,
and you're seeing it right now, there's so many games
that are played on Capitol Hill. Everybody's constantly trying to
posture and what the nation needs. And this is why
you know, we're so happy that Donald Trump is president again,
is you need decisive leadership based on the common sense
and based on principles. And that's why you have the
(06:31):
Democrats are losing their mind for something as simple as
wanting to make sure that whatever we're spending the people's
money on that it's being efficiently spent and being spent
on the core principles and values of the United States
Constitution and what the American people want to see out
of their government. You know, they don't want to see
DEI programs in Serbia, but the Democrats want to fund
(06:53):
that stuff. Sean. They don't want a country overall million
illegal aliens, but the Democrats want that stuff, and so
we have a responsibility to lead. That's why the Democrats
are losing your mind. And on a broader level, what
they're realizing is the things they've been pushing for so
long simply are not popular with the American people.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, they really have become the party. They had
a chance in the US Senate a week ago to
champion Title nine and women's sports, and they decided to
side with the right of men to play women's sports.
You see with the Democrats and the President using this
order to eliminate illegal immigrants in the country, and he's
(07:34):
using the Alien Enemies Act, and of course the Democrats
run to court, and then you even have people as
vocal as Jasmine Crockett defending the rights of Trende or
Ragua gang members to stay in the country. And so
they're putting the rights of illegal immigrants over the safety
of the American people. They never seem to care about
(07:55):
those Americans that have been victims of murder and rape
and an other violent crime. They don't seem to care
about the fentanyl and opioid crisis.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
In the country.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And then on top of that, they've been the party defending,
you know, all of these attacks against Elon Musk. He's
already identified over one hundred and five billion dollars worth
of waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. I'm sure by the
time all is said and done, we might be creeping
towards a trillion dollars. This is, you know, wasted taxpayer money,
and that's what this party has now evolved into. I
(08:27):
don't see a way out for them at this moment.
I'm not I'm not declaring them dead and finished. I've
seen people do that in the past, only to be
wrong many, many fold. I think they could be a
re emergence. If Republicans make mistakes, for example, and don't
fulfill their promises, I think that that becomes problematic for Republicans.
(08:47):
But at the end of the day, this is not
the Democratic Party of old. So what do they do
at this point?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I don't really care, to be honest with you, that's.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Not my min anyway, That's that's a great answer. I
don't really give a damn.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I don't care. I mean, look, my mission is to
make sure that as Republicans on Capitol Hill we get
the job done. President Trump has a mandate we have
to deliver in Congress. So yes, it is making sure
that they have all the resources to secure the nation's
border once and for all and send people back to
their home countries. It's about It's about reauthorizing President Trump's
(09:21):
tax policy and also putting in the new pieces of
it like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and social security. It's about energy dominance. It's about laying
the foundation of real policies and common sense principles that
are going to allow America to thrive going forward. And
as long as we do that, the Democrats can say
whatever they want, They can curse as much as they want,
(09:42):
they can do as many podcasts as they choose to,
because their policies will not be on the side of
the American people. The last thing I know, Sean, we
have some We have a deep, deep bench of super
talented people in our party who you know, under Donald
Trump's leadership, they'll be able to take this thing and
continue to move forward. And the Democrats willing will have
(10:04):
no place to go, I think for their party. Just
be this used common sense is what I would tell them.
But they're not going to listen, which is why I
don't care, which is why we have to get the
job done.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You definitely do. What do you what do you make.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Of this, this rage against Elon musk Uh? And we
now have acts of terror being committed against Tesla dealerships
where cars are being set of blaze and bullets are
being fired into these dealerships and charging stations are being
put of blaze and boycotts being issued against him. What
(10:40):
is he done to to bring upon such hate now?
Now even calls for his assassination have become fairly regular,
which scares me, and and very little from the left
in terms of standing up and saying that enough is enough.
They seem what they want to spend hundreds of billions
of dollars abroad on DEI wokeism, transgenderism and lgbtqism.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Is that in the New Green Deal? Is that their plan?
Is that what they stand for?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, that's exactly what they stand for and what the
Democrats rely on as a boogeyman. They need a straw
a straw man to blame for the reason why things
aren't going well, so they don't have to take responsibility
for their own failures. And the reason why they're going
at Elon Musk right now is because one Donald Trump
is so popular in the country. That mission failed. They
tried every they tried to do everything that Donald Trump,
(11:31):
it all failed. And now the new person they're trying
to attack is Elon Musk to make themselves look better.
But the real problem is Elon Musk, through the Doge effort,
is finding all of the stuff that the Democrat Party
has been building their platform on. It's ain't just speeches,
it's the stuff that they've they've burrowed into the bureaucracy,
the stuff that they've had their billionaires George Soros and
(11:54):
other billionaires on the outside funding using government money, money
as a matching fund, if you will, to fund these
radical left wing programs, not just in America but across
the world. And so now that we have dug that
stuff out, shown it to the American people, and we're
going to put an end to it, they're losing their
minds because this is the bureaucracy, this is the administrative state,
(12:21):
this is the swamp that the Democrat Party has relied
on for decades to be successful, and we're getting rid
of it. We're rooting it out and without that, what
do they have to campaign them?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
All?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Quick break more with Florida Congress from Byron Donald's and
your calls coming up on the other side. Eight hundred
and nine to foot one Sean is our number if
you want to be a part of the program. As
we continue, continue now, Florida Congress from Byron Donalds is
with us. Let me ask you about reconciliation. It looks
like one big beautiful bill is not is emerging into
two big beautiful bills. I'm not sure how it all
(12:54):
in the end is going to play out, but we're
living under the Biden Harris economy. How do you see
this playing out? And how soon can a play out?
Because until we get Donald Trump's economic plan in place,
we don't have a real chance at recovery.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Personally, I think we're probably gonna be done, probably around
June or July. That's what I think. I know the
speaker is saying maybe May June. I think a leader
finishing in July August. I'm gonna take the middle of that.
I think that the biggest thing is going to be
mandatory spending cuts. As long as we get those cuts
(13:28):
and reforms done, of mandatory spending will have the ability
to get the entire agenda three. Whether it's one bill
or two, I've always been agnostic to that. I really
don't care, but I just want to see the agenda done.
But it's gonna be spending because we have budget hawks
in our in our conference, in the House and also
in the Senate who've been waiting for a very long
(13:51):
time to have the trifecta and the leadership to be
able to go and do the hard work, which is
getting the House in order. That's the hard work. And
so it's taking the stuff that Elon has found through
DOSEE that's in mandatory spending and getting that waste and
fraud out. It's getting illegal immigrants off the rolls of Medicaid,
(14:13):
it's getting a fraudulent getting fraud out of Medicaid so
you can save the money for people who really need help.
And that's the goal. It's going to be tough, there's
a lot of work to be done, and I think
it's going to take, you know, a couple months to
negotiate out the parameters of that. But once we get
the mandatory spending side done, everything else is going to
fall into place.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All right, Just don't leave Congress too soon. We need
every vote right now, we really do. You guys have
a very slow margin. Byron Donald's always appreciate you. Thank you,
sir for being one of us. Eight hundred and nine
as a number. If you want to be part of
the program, it's either AOC or Jasmine Crockett. They really
are the voice of the modern extreme, radical Democratic Party.
(14:55):
Here's Jasmine Crockett dodging whether AOC should replace Schumer, but
I know she would rather that in an interview that
she gave on fake news CNN with fake Jake Tapper.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
Listen, do you think Senate Democrats should replace Chuck Schumer?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I think Senate Democrats have to sit down and take
a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is
the one to lead in this moment.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You're close with Congresswoman Alexandria or Cassio Qortez of New York.
Some of your fellow House Democrats say, and not just progressives,
by the way, we've heard that moderates have said this too,
that they're ready to support her to challenge Chuck Schumer
in a Democratic primary. Would you get behind that?
Speaker 9 (15:36):
That's four years from now. If you were asking me
at least in two years, then I would have an
absolute answer. But I can tell you that there are
a lot of people that are watching his leadership in
this moment. This is the moment. We don't even know
what elections will look like in four years, if we
will have elections, and so I definitely think that younger,
fresher leadership may be something that many of us, not
(16:00):
just depending on what part of the spectrum you're on,
but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
James Clyburn, also weighing in, HACKEM. Jeffries got blindsided by
the Senate. I thought Senate Democrats were on board after
just voting for continual resolutions their budget. They're the ones
that appropriated the money and they just didn't want to
fund it. And they're the ones for the decades have
(16:27):
been saying, oh you can, you can't shut down the government, which,
by the way, I've never believed.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Listen, you know, Hockeyen Jeffries did a great job bringing
the House Democrats together.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
All but one voted to not give a black check
to this president. And then it goes to.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
The Senate for the first twenty four hours they seem
to be on voting that all of a sudden, there's
this change what happened in the twenty four hour period.
I'm not sure nobody should be blaming hockey Jeffries for that.
So I say, you see people saying, well, we need
new leadership. Jeffries played it by the rules, he played
(17:10):
the game the way it ought to be played, and
somehow he got blindsided.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And not to be outdone.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They're big supporters in the state run legacy media mob.
I've had it over at ms DNZ. You've got Simone
Sanders saying that Schumer motivated her to leave the Democratic Party.
I would argue, when you listen to all of this
that Shumor's days are numbered.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Listen, there's actually little that the Senate Minority leader can
say and the ten Democrats that voted with the Republicans
can say to appease somebody like me, I'm gonna change
my registration to independent. First and foremost shout out to
Hakking Jeffries, though, because the Congressional Democrats stayed together. And
(17:53):
I'm just gonna I don't have a question. I'm just
gonna read what Becka trasterer had to say.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
This is what rebcka tracer said. Let's get for becka
tracer up there on the thing a Mecca traced her.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
She writes this, and she on her subseat, she says.
In twenty twenty four, Democrats ran on warnings that Trump
was going to destroy democracy, and now that he and
his team are very much in the process of doing
just that, these same politicians are questioning whether or not
to stand up to him and his party at one
of the first opportunities they have to meaningfully do so,
the only opportunity, I would add, there's not another option
(18:23):
for Senate or Democratic or Senate Democrats or House Democrats
to effectively push back.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
This was it.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
They blew it.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
The tape of the Democratic kee Party was born the
same day that Chuck Schumer took to that podium to
read that very well crafted statement. They told us he
folded like a paper napkin.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And I guess you could sum it up with James Carvill.
I mean, Democrats broke the first commandment of politics, Thine
shall not make an ass of thyself.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Listen, all right, you saw Al Green eating a stick
of the floor artists. People hold it auction paddles, and
it was it was counter productive. And then you saw
Elissus lock and take a measured, reasonable articulate about why
we oppose this, And I say, like, my first commandment
(19:15):
of politics is dine shall not make an thyself. And
they didn't follow the cargo first command.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
And people say the image of the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Democratic Party has never been a little a They're pretty
much correct. But the reason that is is Democrats don't
like down party. Now why is that? Because you a
political party exists to win elections, and it doesn't win elections.
The people in the party don't like it.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
So I think the leader of the Democratic Party is right.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Now, Oh, there's James, although James is pretty much kind
of lost his mind.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Let's say hi to Larry is an Illinois Larry, how
are you glad you called Happy Monday?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Sir?
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Money right back to you on top of the morning.
You know, I was wondering with the plane with Treinda
Hodre or whatever it was. They wanted to turn it
around in mid air, and I kind of wish Trump
would have said, Okay, your honor, we're going to turn
it around. We're landing it, and you pick out the
ones you want to live in your house with you,
(20:21):
and you will be responsible for him, and by the way,
any other justices that you know of. With like a few,
we've got plenty to spare and make these people put
their money and their lives where their mouth is, because
as long as American public has to pay the bill,
they're okay with it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, I mean, you're raising a lot of good points here.
I mean, you know, why would the Democratic Party and
their leaders be talking about and protecting illegal immigrants knowing
how many Americans have been murdered, raped, how many known
terrorists in the country, Cartel members are in the country,
(20:58):
gang members are in the country. You know, what are
they trying to accomplish here? I mean, was the goal,
as somebody stated this weekend or the end of last week,
was the goal to get these these these illegals to
register as Democrats so that they'd win elections in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Was that really their goal?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
If they offer some people something of great value, Because
none of this makes any sense, the fact that they
have never bothered to acknowledge the Lake and Riley's and
their families, the rachel Morins and their families, the Joslyn
Nungarys and their families, or all the other Americans murdered,
raped and victims of violent crime. You know, why can't
(21:40):
they pick up a phone and call them? Why would
they never mention their name? Why wouldn't the president ever
call them? Why wouldn't they acknowledge that they created this situation?
Why did they flat out light to us for four years?
And why are they defending it even still? If this
party really wants to get their act together, they're going
to have to is got to be some introspection. There's
(22:01):
got to be some course correction here, not that I care.
I don't because you know, while they're in chaos, Donald
Trump is just moving at the speed of light and
they can't keep up, and they just get angrier and angrier.
So and then they are now turning on each other,
which is not true to form for Democrats. Usually Democrats
circle the wagons. Republicans create the circular firing squads. It's
(22:23):
it's nice to see for once the shoe on the
other foot, But we're gonna win that case in court.
I promise you let not your heart be troubled. It's
just a matter of time. Let's say, how to Jerry,
Long Island, New York. Jerry, how are you glad you called,
sir Sean?
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Thank you for taking my call. Happy St Patrick's Dave
to you.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Happy Saint Patrick's Dave, my friend. Are you gonna have
a little corn beef tonight or what?
Speaker 12 (22:43):
Oh? Cooking three of them right now, they're on the stove.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I hope you got the fatty ones. There's really fatty ones.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
There's no all the kind.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You have to have the fat Oh you have to
I mean, I go ahead.
Speaker 12 (22:57):
I'm sorry, Sean, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I mean to me, that makes all the difference. Now
you can go to I think probably the best place
in New York City that has pastrami and corn beef.
If you want my take on it, it's definitely kats
As Deli.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
They're really good. I don't know if you've ever seen them.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
I totally want. I used to eat there once a
week when I worked on Wall Street. It was worth
the train ride over, it was so it was so.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How did you eat there once a week and not
gained four hundred thousand pounds? I mean it's like a
four pounds sandwich. When you get a sandwich there.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Well. Back then, Sean, I was playing three matches of
soccer a weekend and one match to Rugby on Sunday,
so I was a pretty good shit.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The way I eat now, I probably cut it into four,
you know quarters that i'd eat, you know, a quarter,
like for.
Speaker 12 (23:45):
Every meal exactly. So, hey, Sean, you're at peace with
Jarrett on immigration. I'm an independent, voted for Trump. I
totally support what they're doing when it comes to getting
rid of the identified criminals that have come into our country,
or terrorists or people have just been evil in our country. However,
(24:12):
there's another side of this. I want to hear your
opinion on this. I have family members and many friends
who have people here that don't have green cards or
do have green cards and are living in fear of
being like if they're caught in the wrong place at
the wrong time, that they might be deported. And I
(24:33):
think that what's going on with what the administration's doing,
as well as it's a good thing, there's another side
of this which the left, the media loves thrive on
the fear of the public that I think there's got
to be some type of messaging out there and the
administration to come through with a program that gets a
fast approach to citizenship, because a lot of these people
(24:55):
have been sitting here for years and they want to
be citizens, but there's no.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Fast Well, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Let's say for years you got away without paying your
your the I R S money, and then the I
R S catches up to you.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
What do you think the I R.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
S is going to do? Well? I think they want
to pay their taxes. They want I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Asking about them, I'm asking about you. Let's say let's
imagine for a second, and I'm sure you pay the taxes.
Everyone should pay their taxes, but let's say you didn't,
and let's say years, you know, years go by, and
then the I R S finally catches up to you.
What do you think the I R S is going
to do? Do you think they're going to say, oh,
it's okay and give you forgiveness and give you a
path towards you know, forgiveness of the monies that you
(25:39):
owe them, or are they going to come after you
with a vengeance.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Well, that's that's the fine line.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And need what I well, why why is the a
fine line? If you didn't respect our laws? Our borders
and our sovereignty, and we know nothing about you and
didn't vet you, and you come into our country, why
should you be rewarded with a green cart?
Speaker 12 (26:01):
Uh Sean, I think, okay, good point. I'm talking about
the people that have been in this country for many years, all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Right, for many years you didn't pay your taxes. Is
the Iris going to cut you slack and give you
a break? I know, I'll answer for you. The answer
is no, You're going to be paying interests and penalties
and they'll garnish your wages, and they'll come after you
and they'll take your house if they can. And then
the point is is this is you don't have a
country if you don't enforce our laws and our borders.
(26:34):
There's a reason why we need to vet people before
they come into the country.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We now have known terrorists, gang members and cartel members,
drug dealers in our country and we cannot survive as
a country if we allow them to stay. We don't
know anything about them. And why should we reward people
that didn't go through the process the right way and
the people that are going through the process the right way.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
After weigh ears, well, let me.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
Can I ask a question somebody that's been in this
country forty years who had a green card and has
been trying to get their citizenship.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, if you have a green card, you're in a
very different position than in the illegal immigrant like I'm
talking about.
Speaker 12 (27:13):
Well, I'm sorry, I should have clarified that, yes, they
have green cards, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Okay, so then they're in the system and they're here legally,
or else they wouldn't have got it, I assume. So,
I mean, they're in a whole different position. They're not
the people that are getting deported.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
No, exactly, Sean, And I'm sorry I should have been
more clear at my point, and I apologize to that.
What I'm getting at is it's the messaging, is what
I'm concerned about, is because the messaging is putting fear
into these people.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Okay, well, if you forget the green card people, because
they shouldn't have any fear because they're here legally and
they're in the system. The people that should be in
fear the people that didn't obey our laws, respect our
laws or borders or sovereignty. They're the people that have
something to worry about. Just like if you didn't pay
your taxes and you got a letter from the IRS,
(28:02):
you would be in fear too for not obeying the
laws of our land. That's why I tell people all
the time, just pay your taxes. And people look at
me like I've got two heads. Some people I'm like,
you got to pay it, just nobody likes to pay it.
But my recommendation is to pay your taxes. And you
know I go through arduous attempts over you to.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Get it right.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Taking my call, I thank you for jaming my friend, Sean.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I appreciate it. Thanks for checking in. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Shawn is our number. If you want
to be part of the program anyway, we have a minute,
Jim and Florida. Jim, you have one minute.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
Go okay, Sean, talk to as protesters, okay. I want
you to promote protesters being required to go to what
is an assigned protest park. I don't want them roam
in through our cities anymore. I want protest parks like
they used to have up and in various times in history,
(28:58):
where if you wanted to get on the stump and scream,
go ahead, but it's at an assigned place.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
We don't they actually have that in places in New York,
although they don't always enforce it, and it's like they
build out this gated pen that they put people in.
I believe in freedom of speech. I do, and I
want people to have the right to peacefully protest, and
you really pretty much have the right to say anything
you want as long as you're not threatening people. But
(29:25):
I do want the people that resort to violence to
be held accountable.
Speaker 13 (29:29):
The problem is it's out of control and until you know,
let people go say what they want to say, Let
them gather as they want to gather, but they need
to go to a place where everyone else is not
upset by their protest. Everybody should be able to walk
down the street without being confronted by protesters.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You know, we saw this what you're describing on display
last week. We have people confronted in their cars. We
saw people confronted at Trump Tower. It's sad. Anyway, I
appreciate the call, my friend eight hun So number if
you want to be a part of the program A
Night Hannity Tonight nine Eastern Fox News Channel. We will
talk about the courts being weaponized by the left. Caroline Levitt,
(30:12):
We'll get the Hannity White House briefing from her, also

Sarah Carter investigating who some of these radicals are and
much more that are being sent back nine Eastern tonight
Hannity on Fox. We'll see them back here tomorrow. Thank
you for making the show possible.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right News round up in Information Overload hour. Here
is our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. We'll get to more
of your calls coming up in mere moments. We have
a Democratic party that is in complete meltdown mode. Chris
Murphy over the weekend was on no conversation about me
taking over for Schumer. We may not have a democracy
(00:26):
in a year. Listen this on Meet the Press.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Many of your supporters responded online saying you should replace
leader Schumer.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Is that something that you would consider? Would you consider
that role?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I mean, I don't think anybody's having that conversation right now.
What's important is that we meet this moment. And what
I'm telling you is that if we continue to observe norms,
if we continue to engage in business as usual, this
democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a
year to save American democracy.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think the way the.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
President is acting, using law enforcement to target dissidents, harassing
TV stations and radio stations that criticize him, endorsing political
violence puts our democracy at immediate risk.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The person that endors political violence was their presidential candidate.
They're not going to stop writing, shouldn't stop writing. We're
not going to stop supporting them. But just as mirror reminder,
we now have three separate polls Democrats are in the
twenty percentile approval range. And it's only getting worse. We
(01:38):
saw what happened at the State of the Union. We
you know, I meanwhile a week ago hiking Jeffries. We
say we've got him on the run. Oh, they don't
have him on the run. Ms DNC analysts supporting unleashing
on Schumer for his vote in favor of this, and
you know, it's just getting worse, and work for Schumer
(02:00):
every single day. They don't have a leader, they don't
have a vision. They can't even stand for moms that
lost their children. They can't stand for a young man
that beat cancer. They can't stand for the wife of
a slain officer. They can't stand for the first lady
at the Joint Session, they can't stand for the president
at the Joint Session. And liberal groups now calling for
(02:21):
Schumer to step aside MSDNC, you know, basically saying that
Schumer piling on him folded like a paper Napkin Van Jones,
Chuck Schumer in in a blast radius of a volcanic
eruption of anger from Democrats. You know, the only one
that I heard that made a little bit of sense
(02:44):
was Kristin Cinema, who's no longer there. Breathtaking the undemocratic
unloading on AOC and the rest of the Democratic Party.
And anyway, Nancy Pelosi turning in Schumer. I mean, they were,
you know, comrades and arms in the and the coup
against Joe Biden. Now apparently they're not getting along. Pelosi
(03:04):
calling on Democratic senators before the vote on Friday to
devide Schumer. And anyway, we'll see what happens. Anyway, Joining
us now is Congressman Byron Donalds from my free state
of Florida. He just made it an announcement that he's
running for governor down here after Ron DeSantis' term.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
How are you, sir, I'm doing good.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Sean, How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Why would you ever want to leave that? Adam Schiffol.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
First of all, we have a great state in Florida,
and then we're gonna have to continue to build on
the great leadership of the governor's Governor DeSantis Governor Scott,
who've done a great job in the past, and make
sure that we're leading the country when it comes to
how you run a state and having a place everybody
can live free, growing economy, raise a family, and really
see the American dream become a reality. And that's the
(03:56):
state of Florida. But I got to tell you, watch
what's happening to the Democrat Party because they've been lying
for years sean about real policy, what the American people
wanted to see. They lied about President Trump, and now
that stuff is all coming home for them and they
got to deal with the consequences. The people don't believe them,
(04:17):
the media can't cover for them. And Donald Trump is
doing the thing we knew he was going to do,
which is lead on day one, be effective, and make
sure he was going to push the h the America
First agenda on all fronts, and the Democrats don't know
what to do. They're in disarray. I'm personally enjoying it,
but at the same time, you know, you have to
(04:37):
move on to the next step in life, and Florida
is going to need a new governor. And I'm endorsed.
I'm endorsed by President Trump proud to have his support,
and we're going to continue to have the Sunshine State
be the free state and the best state in the country.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Do you expect the primary. There's a lot of talk
that maybe the first lady, Casey Desantus, will get into
the race.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
What are your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Well, it remains to be seen. I mean, we'll cross
the that bridge when we come to it. What I'm
doing is, you know, going through the state the state,
meeting with stakeholders as quickly as I can. Obviously, you're
running a campaign, so you have to raise money to
that for the effort, and that's going very well, and
then collecting support. Obviously I have President Trump support, we
(05:19):
have the Club for Growth, Dave endorsed me as the
next governor of Florida, and then I have several officials
in our states that you know, we're going to be
able to announce shortly, and so I'm just excited for
the response to my candidacy. If somebody else gets in,
we'll we'll deal with that as it comes.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know, you you have emerged as a real leader
of the Republican Party and especially in Washington, and I
think there's a lot of people that that don't even
want you to leave Washington because you've become such a powerful,
effective voice.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And however, I think it's much better to be a
chief executive then it would be to be a congressman.
I think that it's just naturally based on the way
it's configured. I think it's just dysfunctional. All am I wrong.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Congress is very dysfunctional. And part of the reason is,
and you're seeing it right now, there's so many games
that are played on Capitol Hill. Everybody's constantly trying to
posture and what the nation needs. And this is why
you know, we're so happy that Donald Trump is president again,
is you need decisive leadership based on the common sense
and based on principles. And that's why you have the
(06:31):
Democrats are losing their mind for something as simple as
wanting to make sure that whatever we're spending the people's
money on that it's being efficiently spent and being spent
on the core principles and values of the United States
Constitution and what the American people want to see out
of their government. You know, they don't want to see
DEI programs in Serbia, but the Democrats want to fund
(06:53):
that stuff. Sean. They don't want a country overall million
illegal aliens, but the Democrats want that stuff, and so
we have a responsibility to lead. That's why the Democrats
are losing your mind. And on a broader level, what
they're realizing is the things they've been pushing for so
long simply are not popular with the American people.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, they really have become the party. They had
a chance in the US Senate a week ago to
champion Title nine and women's sports, and they decided to
side with the right of men to play women's sports.
You see with the Democrats and the President using this
order to eliminate illegal immigrants in the country, and he's
(07:34):
using the Alien Enemies Act, and of course the Democrats
run to court, and then you even have people as
vocal as Jasmine Crockett defending the rights of Trende or
Ragua gang members to stay in the country. And so
they're putting the rights of illegal immigrants over the safety
of the American people. They never seem to care about
(07:55):
those Americans that have been victims of murder and rape
and an other violent crime. They don't seem to care
about the fentanyl and opioid crisis.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
In the country.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And then on top of that, they've been the party defending,
you know, all of these attacks against Elon Musk. He's
already identified over one hundred and five billion dollars worth
of waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. I'm sure by the
time all is said and done, we might be creeping
towards a trillion dollars. This is, you know, wasted taxpayer money,
and that's what this party has now evolved into. I
(08:27):
don't see a way out for them at this moment.
I'm not I'm not declaring them dead and finished. I've
seen people do that in the past, only to be
wrong many, many fold. I think they could be a
re emergence. If Republicans make mistakes, for example, and don't
fulfill their promises, I think that that becomes problematic for Republicans.
(08:47):
But at the end of the day, this is not
the Democratic Party of old. So what do they do
at this point?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I don't really care, to be honest with you, that's.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Not my min anyway, That's that's a great answer. I
don't really give a damn.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I don't care. I mean, look, my mission is to
make sure that as Republicans on Capitol Hill we get
the job done. President Trump has a mandate we have
to deliver in Congress. So yes, it is making sure
that they have all the resources to secure the nation's
border once and for all and send people back to
their home countries. It's about It's about reauthorizing President Trump's
(09:21):
tax policy and also putting in the new pieces of
it like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and social security. It's about energy dominance. It's about laying
the foundation of real policies and common sense principles that
are going to allow America to thrive going forward. And
as long as we do that, the Democrats can say
whatever they want, They can curse as much as they want,
(09:42):
they can do as many podcasts as they choose to,
because their policies will not be on the side of
the American people. The last thing I know, Sean, we
have some We have a deep, deep bench of super
talented people in our party who you know, under Donald
Trump's leadership, they'll be able to take this thing and
continue to move forward. And the Democrats willing will have
(10:04):
no place to go, I think for their party. Just
be this used common sense is what I would tell them.
But they're not going to listen, which is why I
don't care, which is why we have to get the
job done.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You definitely do. What do you what do you make.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Of this, this rage against Elon musk Uh? And we
now have acts of terror being committed against Tesla dealerships
where cars are being set of blaze and bullets are
being fired into these dealerships and charging stations are being
put of blaze and boycotts being issued against him. What
(10:40):
is he done to to bring upon such hate now?
Now even calls for his assassination have become fairly regular,
which scares me, and and very little from the left
in terms of standing up and saying that enough is enough.
They seem what they want to spend hundreds of billions
of dollars abroad on DEI wokeism, transgenderism and lgbtqism.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Is that in the New Green Deal? Is that their plan?
Is that what they stand for?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, that's exactly what they stand for and what the
Democrats rely on as a boogeyman. They need a straw
a straw man to blame for the reason why things
aren't going well, so they don't have to take responsibility
for their own failures. And the reason why they're going
at Elon Musk right now is because one Donald Trump
is so popular in the country. That mission failed. They
tried every they tried to do everything that Donald Trump,
(11:31):
it all failed. And now the new person they're trying
to attack is Elon Musk to make themselves look better.
But the real problem is Elon Musk, through the Doge effort,
is finding all of the stuff that the Democrat Party
has been building their platform on. It's ain't just speeches,
it's the stuff that they've they've burrowed into the bureaucracy,
the stuff that they've had their billionaires George Soros and
(11:54):
other billionaires on the outside funding using government money, money
as a matching fund, if you will, to fund these
radical left wing programs, not just in America but across
the world. And so now that we have dug that
stuff out, shown it to the American people, and we're
going to put an end to it, they're losing their
minds because this is the bureaucracy, this is the administrative state,
(12:21):
this is the swamp that the Democrat Party has relied
on for decades to be successful, and we're getting rid
of it. We're rooting it out and without that, what
do they have to campaign them?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
All?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Quick break more with Florida Congress from Byron Donald's and
your calls coming up on the other side. Eight hundred
and nine to foot one Sean is our number if
you want to be a part of the program. As
we continue, continue now, Florida Congress from Byron Donalds is
with us. Let me ask you about reconciliation. It looks
like one big beautiful bill is not is emerging into
two big beautiful bills. I'm not sure how it all
(12:54):
in the end is going to play out, but we're
living under the Biden Harris economy. How do you see
this playing out? And how soon can a play out?
Because until we get Donald Trump's economic plan in place,
we don't have a real chance at recovery.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Personally, I think we're probably gonna be done, probably around
June or July. That's what I think. I know the
speaker is saying maybe May June. I think a leader
finishing in July August. I'm gonna take the middle of that.
I think that the biggest thing is going to be
mandatory spending cuts. As long as we get those cuts
(13:28):
and reforms done, of mandatory spending will have the ability
to get the entire agenda three. Whether it's one bill
or two, I've always been agnostic to that. I really
don't care, but I just want to see the agenda done.
But it's gonna be spending because we have budget hawks
in our in our conference, in the House and also
in the Senate who've been waiting for a very long
(13:51):
time to have the trifecta and the leadership to be
able to go and do the hard work, which is
getting the House in order. That's the hard work. And
so it's taking the stuff that Elon has found through
DOSEE that's in mandatory spending and getting that waste and
fraud out. It's getting illegal immigrants off the rolls of Medicaid,
(14:13):
it's getting a fraudulent getting fraud out of Medicaid so
you can save the money for people who really need help.
And that's the goal. It's going to be tough, there's
a lot of work to be done, and I think
it's going to take, you know, a couple months to
negotiate out the parameters of that. But once we get
the mandatory spending side done, everything else is going to
fall into place.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All right, Just don't leave Congress too soon. We need
every vote right now, we really do. You guys have
a very slow margin. Byron Donald's always appreciate you. Thank you,
sir for being one of us. Eight hundred and nine
as a number. If you want to be part of
the program, it's either AOC or Jasmine Crockett. They really
are the voice of the modern extreme, radical Democratic Party.
(14:55):
Here's Jasmine Crockett dodging whether AOC should replace Schumer, but
I know she would rather that in an interview that
she gave on fake news CNN with fake Jake Tapper.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
Listen, do you think Senate Democrats should replace Chuck Schumer?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
I think Senate Democrats have to sit down and take
a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is
the one to lead in this moment.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You're close with Congresswoman Alexandria or Cassio Qortez of New York.
Some of your fellow House Democrats say, and not just progressives,
by the way, we've heard that moderates have said this too,
that they're ready to support her to challenge Chuck Schumer
in a Democratic primary. Would you get behind that?
Speaker 9 (15:36):
That's four years from now. If you were asking me
at least in two years, then I would have an
absolute answer. But I can tell you that there are
a lot of people that are watching his leadership in
this moment. This is the moment. We don't even know
what elections will look like in four years, if we
will have elections, and so I definitely think that younger,
fresher leadership may be something that many of us, not
(16:00):
just depending on what part of the spectrum you're on,
but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
James Clyburn, also weighing in, HACKEM. Jeffries got blindsided by
the Senate. I thought Senate Democrats were on board after
just voting for continual resolutions their budget. They're the ones
that appropriated the money and they just didn't want to
fund it. And they're the ones for the decades have
(16:27):
been saying, oh you can, you can't shut down the government, which,
by the way, I've never believed.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Listen, you know, Hockeyen Jeffries did a great job bringing
the House Democrats together.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
All but one voted to not give a black check
to this president. And then it goes to.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
The Senate for the first twenty four hours they seem
to be on voting that all of a sudden, there's
this change what happened in the twenty four hour period.
I'm not sure nobody should be blaming hockey Jeffries for that.
So I say, you see people saying, well, we need
new leadership. Jeffries played it by the rules, he played
(17:10):
the game the way it ought to be played, and
somehow he got blindsided.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And not to be outdone.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They're big supporters in the state run legacy media mob.
I've had it over at ms DNZ. You've got Simone
Sanders saying that Schumer motivated her to leave the Democratic Party.
I would argue, when you listen to all of this
that Shumor's days are numbered.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Listen, there's actually little that the Senate Minority leader can
say and the ten Democrats that voted with the Republicans
can say to appease somebody like me, I'm gonna change
my registration to independent. First and foremost shout out to
Hakking Jeffries, though, because the Congressional Democrats stayed together. And
(17:53):
I'm just gonna I don't have a question. I'm just
gonna read what Becka trasterer had to say.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
This is what rebcka tracer said. Let's get for becka
tracer up there on the thing a Mecca traced her.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
She writes this, and she on her subseat, she says.
In twenty twenty four, Democrats ran on warnings that Trump
was going to destroy democracy, and now that he and
his team are very much in the process of doing
just that, these same politicians are questioning whether or not
to stand up to him and his party at one
of the first opportunities they have to meaningfully do so,
the only opportunity, I would add, there's not another option
(18:23):
for Senate or Democratic or Senate Democrats or House Democrats
to effectively push back.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
This was it.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
They blew it.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
The tape of the Democratic kee Party was born the
same day that Chuck Schumer took to that podium to
read that very well crafted statement. They told us he
folded like a paper napkin.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And I guess you could sum it up with James Carvill.
I mean, Democrats broke the first commandment of politics, Thine
shall not make an ass of thyself.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Listen, all right, you saw Al Green eating a stick
of the floor artists. People hold it auction paddles, and
it was it was counter productive. And then you saw
Elissus lock and take a measured, reasonable articulate about why
we oppose this, And I say, like, my first commandment
(19:15):
of politics is dine shall not make an thyself. And
they didn't follow the cargo first command.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
And people say the image of the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Democratic Party has never been a little a They're pretty
much correct. But the reason that is is Democrats don't
like down party. Now why is that? Because you a
political party exists to win elections, and it doesn't win elections.
The people in the party don't like it.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
So I think the leader of the Democratic Party is right.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Now, Oh, there's James, although James is pretty much kind
of lost his mind.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Let's say hi to Larry is an Illinois Larry, how
are you glad you called Happy Monday?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Sir?
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Money right back to you on top of the morning.
You know, I was wondering with the plane with Treinda
Hodre or whatever it was. They wanted to turn it
around in mid air, and I kind of wish Trump
would have said, Okay, your honor, we're going to turn
it around. We're landing it, and you pick out the
ones you want to live in your house with you,
(20:21):
and you will be responsible for him, and by the way,
any other justices that you know of. With like a few,
we've got plenty to spare and make these people put
their money and their lives where their mouth is, because
as long as American public has to pay the bill,
they're okay with it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, I mean, you're raising a lot of good points here.
I mean, you know, why would the Democratic Party and
their leaders be talking about and protecting illegal immigrants knowing
how many Americans have been murdered, raped, how many known
terrorists in the country, Cartel members are in the country,
(20:58):
gang members are in the country. You know, what are
they trying to accomplish here? I mean, was the goal,
as somebody stated this weekend or the end of last week,
was the goal to get these these these illegals to
register as Democrats so that they'd win elections in perpetuity.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Was that really their goal?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
If they offer some people something of great value, Because
none of this makes any sense, the fact that they
have never bothered to acknowledge the Lake and Riley's and
their families, the rachel Morins and their families, the Joslyn
Nungarys and their families, or all the other Americans murdered,
raped and victims of violent crime. You know, why can't
(21:40):
they pick up a phone and call them? Why would
they never mention their name? Why wouldn't the president ever
call them? Why wouldn't they acknowledge that they created this situation?
Why did they flat out light to us for four years?
And why are they defending it even still? If this
party really wants to get their act together, they're going
to have to is got to be some introspection. There's
(22:01):
got to be some course correction here, not that I care.
I don't because you know, while they're in chaos, Donald
Trump is just moving at the speed of light and
they can't keep up, and they just get angrier and angrier.
So and then they are now turning on each other,
which is not true to form for Democrats. Usually Democrats
circle the wagons. Republicans create the circular firing squads. It's
(22:23):
it's nice to see for once the shoe on the
other foot, But we're gonna win that case in court.
I promise you let not your heart be troubled. It's
just a matter of time. Let's say, how to Jerry,
Long Island, New York. Jerry, how are you glad you called,
sir Sean?
Speaker 12 (22:36):
Thank you for taking my call. Happy St Patrick's Dave
to you.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Happy Saint Patrick's Dave, my friend. Are you gonna have
a little corn beef tonight or what?
Speaker 12 (22:43):
Oh? Cooking three of them right now, they're on the stove.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I hope you got the fatty ones. There's really fatty ones.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
There's no all the kind.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You have to have the fat Oh you have to
I mean, I go ahead.
Speaker 12 (22:57):
I'm sorry, Sean, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I mean to me, that makes all the difference. Now
you can go to I think probably the best place
in New York City that has pastrami and corn beef.
If you want my take on it, it's definitely kats
As Deli.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
They're really good. I don't know if you've ever seen them.
Speaker 12 (23:16):
I totally want. I used to eat there once a
week when I worked on Wall Street. It was worth
the train ride over, it was so it was so.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How did you eat there once a week and not
gained four hundred thousand pounds? I mean it's like a
four pounds sandwich. When you get a sandwich there.
Speaker 12 (23:31):
Well. Back then, Sean, I was playing three matches of
soccer a weekend and one match to Rugby on Sunday,
so I was a pretty good shit.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The way I eat now, I probably cut it into four,
you know quarters that i'd eat, you know, a quarter,
like for.
Speaker 12 (23:45):
Every meal exactly. So, hey, Sean, you're at peace with
Jarrett on immigration. I'm an independent, voted for Trump. I
totally support what they're doing when it comes to getting
rid of the identified criminals that have come into our country,
or terrorists or people have just been evil in our country. However,
(24:12):
there's another side of this. I want to hear your
opinion on this. I have family members and many friends
who have people here that don't have green cards or
do have green cards and are living in fear of
being like if they're caught in the wrong place at
the wrong time, that they might be deported. And I
(24:33):
think that what's going on with what the administration's doing,
as well as it's a good thing, there's another side
of this which the left, the media loves thrive on
the fear of the public that I think there's got
to be some type of messaging out there and the
administration to come through with a program that gets a
fast approach to citizenship, because a lot of these people
(24:55):
have been sitting here for years and they want to
be citizens, but there's no.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Fast Well, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Let's say for years you got away without paying your
your the I R S money, and then the I
R S catches up to you.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
What do you think the I R.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
S is going to do? Well? I think they want
to pay their taxes. They want I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Asking about them, I'm asking about you. Let's say let's
imagine for a second, and I'm sure you pay the taxes.
Everyone should pay their taxes, but let's say you didn't,
and let's say years, you know, years go by, and
then the I R S finally catches up to you.
What do you think the I R S is going
to do? Do you think they're going to say, oh,
it's okay and give you forgiveness and give you a
path towards you know, forgiveness of the monies that you
(25:39):
owe them, or are they going to come after you
with a vengeance.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Well, that's that's the fine line.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And need what I well, why why is the a
fine line? If you didn't respect our laws? Our borders
and our sovereignty, and we know nothing about you and
didn't vet you, and you come into our country, why
should you be rewarded with a green cart?
Speaker 12 (26:01):
Uh Sean, I think, okay, good point. I'm talking about
the people that have been in this country for many years, all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Right, for many years you didn't pay your taxes. Is
the Iris going to cut you slack and give you
a break? I know, I'll answer for you. The answer
is no, You're going to be paying interests and penalties
and they'll garnish your wages, and they'll come after you
and they'll take your house if they can. And then
the point is is this is you don't have a
country if you don't enforce our laws and our borders.
(26:34):
There's a reason why we need to vet people before
they come into the country.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We now have known terrorists, gang members and cartel members,
drug dealers in our country and we cannot survive as
a country if we allow them to stay. We don't
know anything about them. And why should we reward people
that didn't go through the process the right way and
the people that are going through the process the right way.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
After weigh ears, well, let me.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
Can I ask a question somebody that's been in this
country forty years who had a green card and has
been trying to get their citizenship.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Well, if you have a green card, you're in a
very different position than in the illegal immigrant like I'm
talking about.
Speaker 12 (27:13):
Well, I'm sorry, I should have clarified that, yes, they
have green cards, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Okay, so then they're in the system and they're here legally,
or else they wouldn't have got it, I assume. So,
I mean, they're in a whole different position. They're not
the people that are getting deported.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
No, exactly, Sean, And I'm sorry I should have been
more clear at my point, and I apologize to that.
What I'm getting at is it's the messaging, is what
I'm concerned about, is because the messaging is putting fear
into these people.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Okay, well, if you forget the green card people, because
they shouldn't have any fear because they're here legally and
they're in the system. The people that should be in
fear the people that didn't obey our laws, respect our
laws or borders or sovereignty. They're the people that have
something to worry about. Just like if you didn't pay
your taxes and you got a letter from the IRS,
(28:02):
you would be in fear too for not obeying the
laws of our land. That's why I tell people all
the time, just pay your taxes. And people look at
me like I've got two heads. Some people I'm like,
you got to pay it, just nobody likes to pay it.
But my recommendation is to pay your taxes. And you
know I go through arduous attempts over you to.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Get it right.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Taking my call, I thank you for jaming my friend, Sean.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I appreciate it. Thanks for checking in. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Shawn is our number. If you want
to be part of the program anyway, we have a minute,
Jim and Florida. Jim, you have one minute.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
Go okay, Sean, talk to as protesters, okay. I want
you to promote protesters being required to go to what
is an assigned protest park. I don't want them roam
in through our cities anymore. I want protest parks like
they used to have up and in various times in history,
(28:58):
where if you wanted to get on the stump and scream,
go ahead, but it's at an assigned place.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
We don't they actually have that in places in New York,
although they don't always enforce it, and it's like they
build out this gated pen that they put people in.
I believe in freedom of speech. I do, and I
want people to have the right to peacefully protest, and
you really pretty much have the right to say anything
you want as long as you're not threatening people. But
(29:25):
I do want the people that resort to violence to
be held accountable.
Speaker 13 (29:29):
The problem is it's out of control and until you know,
let people go say what they want to say, Let
them gather as they want to gather, but they need
to go to a place where everyone else is not
upset by their protest. Everybody should be able to walk
down the street without being confronted by protesters.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You know, we saw this what you're describing on display
last week. We have people confronted in their cars. We
saw people confronted at Trump Tower. It's sad. Anyway, I
appreciate the call, my friend eight hun So number if
you want to be a part of the program A
