Sean Hannity turns his focus to election integrity and border enforcement, calling on Senate Republicans to stand firm behind the SAVE Act. He argues that proof of citizenship and voter ID are not partisan issues—but foundational safeguards for the republic. With Democrats resisting and some GOP senators wavering over procedural battles like the filibuster, Hannity makes the case that now is the moment for political courage, not caution.
The hour also highlights the push for Delilah’s Law, legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses after deadly accidents involving unqualified drivers. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita joins Hannity to discuss state-level enforcement and the urgency of restoring law and order. Hannity connects the dots between sanctuary policies, public safety risks, and federal inaction—warning that without accountability, American citizens pay the price.
For Hannity, this isn’t about party politics—it’s about sovereignty, safety, and preserving the integrity of American elections before it’s too late.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour two Sean Hannity Show to hold for you on
numbers eight hundred and nine to four one Sean if
you want to be a part of the program. This Friday,
we are officially on a RAN watch. As I mentioned
in the first hour of the program. Today, Nuclear talks
for the most part, in spite of some reports, kind
of struck out and the President I've never known Donald
(00:21):
Trump not to keep his deadlines.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Let's put it that way. So we'll get back into that.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We'll have Senator Rick Scott and others on throughout the
program today.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We had in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This was the first case, and then there have been
so many since, too many to even list on this
program about you have illegal immigrants that can't read English
and can't read road signs that are getting commercial driver's licenses.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In my free state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Three innocent people are dead because of this illegal that
we find out after the fact couldn't read English, couldn't
read road signs, and failed spectacularly, had a commercial eighteen
wheeler driver's license from the state of Washington and the
state of California. I mean, it is putting so many
(01:14):
people at risk now It's been highlighted time and time again,
and you have to ask yourself, well, what is it
going to take for this to end? And then this
week we had this incident where a guy is on
the right side of the road and he's filming an
eighteen wheeler driving on the wrong side of a highway
(01:34):
and it's going on and on and on right into
head on traffic. How nothing happened in this instance is
nothing short of a miracle. Now Sean Duffy has, you know,
put out edicts and directives that they're not going to
be allowed to do this anymore. But it's still happening,
(01:55):
as we saw this week. The Attorney General of Indiana,
Todd Kida, is going to join us in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
He wrote this piece for The Federalist.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He said, amid anti ice activism, Indiana needs to boost
state level immigration enforcement. Unfortunately, even in Republican run Indiana,
some local entities have joined this effort to give sanctuary
to illegal aliens and frustrate federal law enforcement. As Indiana's
Attorney General, I take seriously the authority given to me
(02:28):
by the legislature to enforce our state's anti sanctuary law.
We do have the supremacy clause. By the way of
the Constitution, this is me, not him. And of course
federal laws are enforced by the federal government and no
local authority, no state authority has the ability to overcome that.
But we see what's been happening in Minnesota and sanctuary
(02:50):
states like California and New York City and elsewhere. Anyway,
he points out, this prohibits local government's law enforcement, state
educational institutions from having policies that limit cooperation with federal
immigration laws and detainer requests. I'm doing everything in my
power under the law to eliminate the remaining sanctuary jurisdictions
(03:11):
in our state. But Indiana could do more to combat
illegal immigration support federal law enforcement. And that's why I've
been a strong vocal advocate for the for the Indiana
General Assembly to pass the Fairness Act now in Indiana
that Senate Bill seventy six in the current session would
mandate compliance with ICE detainers, authorize his office to take
(03:35):
legal action against companies that knowingly intentionally hire, recruit, or
employee illegals. And I'm encouraged that the General Assembly has
made good progress in this session in moving the Fairness Act.
This has got to happen everywhere. Now, we also have
this issue of Delilah's Law, which is a proposed piece
(03:55):
of federal legislation announced by the President during his State
of the Year union, and that law aims to prohibit
any state from granting a commercial driver's license and CDLs.
They call them to illegal immigrants. And I mean it's
named after Delilah Coleman, a five year old girl that
the President introduced to the nation this week who suffered
(04:20):
severe injuries they didn't think she'd ever walk again, including
traumatic brain injury cerebral palsy, after an eighteen wheeler driven
by an illegal immigrant from India caused a multi car
pile up in California in June of twenty four.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The purpose is obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The initiative design to enhance roadway safety and ensure that
only legal residents and citizens. By the way, I'll add,
people that can read English and road signs with proper
background checks are allowed to operate heavy commercial vehicles. This
is just simple, basic common sense anyway, The Attorney General
of the Great State of Indiana, Todd Kata, joins us now, sir,
(05:00):
first of all, thank you for being well. The second
of all, thank you for what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Hey son. Great to be back on. I don't know
anyone who worked harder than new Man Radio show and
TV every night, and we love listening and watching You
Now podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I don't ever stop working, you know why, because I'm
a loser. But that's a separate issue for another day.
But this is a really serious issue.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah it is. And you know what, I'm proud of
our General Assembly. You know, we've had five people in Indiana.
Let's start with the Indiana version of Delilah's Law. First,
We've had five people in Indiana over the last month.
Sean die because of some knucklehead doesn't speak English, not
(05:40):
supposed to be here at all, has a commercial semi
truck license, running out running them over. And that's real.
And so I was so pleased to hear the President
talk about Delilah's Law and that that little girl seeing
her and her father, which I saw in Fox before.
You know, it's needed, but let's face it. And by
the way, I think our good friend Jim Banks, the
(06:02):
Senator from Indiana, is carrying Delilah's Law. But even he
would tell you Congress can't tie it shoes, right, I mean,
look at what they're doing with the Savac. So Indiana,
I'm not waiting for Congress to get this done. We're
going to do what we can in the state. So
I bet as we're talking literally, I hope I'm not
jinxing us. But as we're talking, or shortly after day,
(06:24):
Indiana will be the first state to have an Indiana
version of Delilah's Law. I hope we call it Terry's Law,
because that was the last fellow, the sixty four year
old who got run over by one of these illegal
alien truck drivers. And what it'll do will revoke the
licenses of illegal alien drivers. It requires English proficiency. It
has penalties for these illegal drivers, legal alien drivers, these
(06:48):
inalogible drivers, these non certified ones. It's a level six
felony punishable by a five thousand dollars fine. And here's
something better. It goes after the vehicle or truck owned
owners who employ these illegal alien drivers find them up
to fifty thousand dollars. Then it allows me to go
after driving schools and training programs that certify these illegal
(07:10):
alien drivers, and I get to find them fifty thousand dollars.
So we're on it. We're not standing for this. Yes,
there is a supremacy clause, but states are sovereign entities
as well, and we're taking care of this on our own.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, I'm glad you're doing this here, especially in this case.
How is it possible people think it's okay if somebody
can't read English and they can't read road signs. Can
you explain to me, I a state like California can
can issue commercial drivers' licenses for these people to drive
(07:47):
eighteen wheelers. That to me makes them culpable because that
means that test was designed for an idiot. That means
that test did not require basic simple a mental reading comprehension,
or there's.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know, I'm not I don't have the evidence to accuse.
But you also have to assume too that it could
be outright fraud, outright bribery. There could be some things
going on on the table in some of these states.
I mean, it's not outlandish to think that. Looks what's
happening in Minnesota with medicaid, So you know, it could
be that could be happening. And when you don't respect
the rule of law, if you want to put legal aliens,
if you have a state government that wants to put
(08:24):
legal aliens over its citizens, like California and so many
other liberal, left leaning states do, well, then you make
it really easy. But we're not going to have that
in Indiana. I'm not not under my watch. And you know,
we have an underbelly here in Indiana that is that
that has some left leanings to it. And I'll get
to that when we talk about the Fairness Act that
(08:44):
you summarized my op ed with. But no, we're not
going to do We're not going to take that laying
down here. And and so you see us with these
English proficiency requirements. I mean, it's it's looking like in
so many other areas of the law today that we
have to pass a lot like you can't mutilate a
child under the eighteen by changing their sexes. Right, we
(09:07):
have to have a law on that. They never thought
I have to say that, but we have it in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We can't play boy if you're a boy, you can't
play on girls sports teams. We have a law on that.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
We'll probably get a good Supreme Court ruling here, by
the way, in a few two weeks, but we do
have a strong law in Indiana. We're not going to
tolerate that. And the reason, if it's not outright fraud
of it's not outright bribery, if it's not outright Marxism
and leftism and Sean, then it's the dollar dollar bill.
It's the fact that people want cheap these employers want
(09:39):
cheap labor.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You see, I have friends of mine in the trucking industry,
and I've had long conversations with them. The trucking industry
I believed and thought, and at least my friends take
it seriously enough that there are very rigorous, rigid standards
and there are a lot of people. For example, before
trucker goes on a drive, I know for a fact
(10:04):
one of the things that the drivers kind of balk
at is they've got to get drug tested, and that
means you've got to get the driver in time to
a testing place. They get tested, they have to pass
the test before they can ever get behind the wheel
of that eighteen wheeler. Then they have to stay on
top of the drivers to make sure that they're on time.
I know for a fact that they have cameras inside
(10:27):
the cab that they can see and talk to the
driver at any given time. That they're out there, they
get an alert on their phone if they hit the
brakes too hard or if god forbid, they're in an accident,
they'll be alerted to that. I mean, we have the
sophisticated technology out there, so you know, it's kind of
hard to comprehend. Now, this Somali driver with this legal
(10:50):
Minnesota CDL license was called driving, you know, the eighty
ton truck the wrong way for.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Miles and miles.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I'm watching this and I'm like, oh God, please, he's
driving into oncoming traffic. He's on the wrong side of
the highway. He couldn't read basic road signs. Again, this
is not the first time this has happened. I mentioned
the case in my state of Florida, and you know,
how come this is continuing. There ought to be you know,
we ought to go out there and we ought to
(11:20):
make sure every driver gets retested. And I'm not trying
to be a pain ay as to drivers. I love drivers.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You know, we need to thank drivers because every store
we go to and it's stocked to the brim is
because of those drivers. And I'm grateful to them, and
I hope they make more money. I hope you know,
especially with lower fuel prices, that they're making more money
than they were before.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Well, of course, you know, and look, maybe prices are
going to go up for this because I can hear
the employers that I'm going to go after here shortly
once this bill pass, I can hear them in my ear. Now,
how much do you want to pay you go into Walmart?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Todd?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, you know you mentioned the equipment that's that that's used.
You know, all that costs money. The training costs money.
But this is a good American job when it's done correctly.
And if consumers have to pay more so that we
don't die on our roads because we have some Somali
or Indian or Mexican or whoever they shouldn't be here
(12:13):
driving these trucks, then we'll have to address that. Okay,
But it's not right to subvert the rule of law
to put these illegal aliens over citizens so you can
have a cheaper box of cookies at Walmart. I mean,
we're not doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right, quick break right back more with Indiana Attorney General
Todd Roketa. On the other side of eight one hundred
and nine foot one seawan our number. If you want
to be a part of the program. Uh, all right, Linda,
you see what I see. I'm sure you're thinking the
way I'm thinking.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, it's a frightening time. I think what I've been watching,
and I've been saying to a lot of sort of
you know, nationalists, isolationist type people, we are in a
very it's a pivot moment. You know what's happening in Iran.
If you choose to look away, you are literally letting
hundreds of thousands of people who are under Islamic terrorist
(13:06):
rule die. Because that's what's happening. They're killing them in
the street. It doesn't matter if you're a grandmother or
you're a baby, and they are dead, and they are
left for dead. People are searching through body bags to
find their relatives. It is a very very scary thing.
And if not us, then who people are saying all TV.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's not No, that is important in every way that
you just describe. But I think it's bigger than that,
and that is they're the number one state sponsor of
terror and they have killed Americans in Iraq and elsewhere.
That's why President Trump and his first term took out
Solomani like Daddy and associates. He understood the existential threat
that is ISIS and he wiped them out too, and
(13:49):
he took out the nuclear facilities. And these people are
so hell bent in their rigid, sick, twisted, bizarre ideology.
They want nuclear weapons so bad. Knowing what's likely to happen,
they don't care. And this mindset of convert or die,
and that this is a holy war jihad against the infidels,
(14:12):
and the idea that if they do get killed, don't worry.
We're going to give you, you know, seventy two virgins in heaven.
You know this is you know, this is beyond evil.
This is Islamic fascism. We're not talking about Islam. We're
talking about radical Islamis. We make the distinction on this program.
And when people say death to Israel, death to America,
(14:35):
when they say they want to attack our homeland, which
they have done many, many times, I would say, you'd
be pretty smart to believe them. And here's the big
question in my mind. Do we wait six months from
now when we know they are building out, not only
re constituting their nuclear abilities and Steve Wikoff's they might
(15:00):
be a week away, Remember that we do believe that
they had some enriched uranium that we have no idea
where it is, and that was after the fourteen bunker
buster bombs the last time. So if they just at
which they have been insisting, their state run media last
night said it, they're not going to give up enriching uranium.
(15:22):
They went from two thousand pound ballistic missiles the last time,
the twelve dayed War that they were firing into Israel.
Now they've got four thousand pound ballistic missiles. They're threatening,
and they're putting out images of sinking American ships that
are in the region six months from now. God only
knows how far advanced they will be. Do I wish
(15:44):
we could stay out of it.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I do do. I stand with the Trump doctrine. I do.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
This is consistent with the Trump doctrine. You know, see
a threat and wipe it out before it gets to you,
and then it becomes a much bigger problem. No boots
on the ground, no forever wars. The President is going
to unleash hell is my prediction, and we will win.
It is always risky. I think if people can take
(16:12):
a moment and pray for our brave men and women
in the military, you know this is a sick, twisted,
ugly enemy number one state sponsor of terror. But then
ask yourself, is it better to take them out now
or to deal with them when they had nuclear capability?
Because such fanaticism, You will never convince me that they
wouldn't use those nuclear weapons. Mutually assured destruction does not
(16:36):
apply to them. Did you want to add one thing?
I didn't mean to go off on the no.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Listen, you make excellent points. There's no question we certainly
don't want Islamic radical terrorists having nuclear capability. In my opinion,
they've probably had it for a very very long time
and have been kept in check for other reasons and
by other allies in the Middle East region. I think
right now we're at a pivot point because the people
of Iran have spoken out and said we are not Muslim,
(17:03):
we are not here to be under your rule, and
we would like to come out and be the Persia
that we once were here in Iran, and unfortunately that
doesn't really jive with the IRGC. So I think that
both of these things are incredibly important, and I think
that there needs to be more people that are aware.
If you look at Venezuela. If you look at Cuba
and you talk to the people on the ground, they
(17:24):
will tell you they want the help of the United States.
Nobody else is coming. Europe is done. We have nothing
from them. Thank God for Greece stepping in where the
UK stepped out. But we need to act, all.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Right, Let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program this Friday, let's say hi to Mitch.
He's in Minnesota. Mitch, how are you. My apologies tampon
Tim and mayor small fry lucky you, Yes.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Lucky me.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
No, I'm tough back to follow. I'm trying to be
funny here. But as for Madannie, love what he said
about the snowball fights?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh you love what he said about it? Are you
being facetious?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
No?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
I love what he said. It's a snow fight. Now,
if they go for a Guinness Booker record of snowball
fights and in New York and he happens to be
in the middle, guess what, It's just a snowball fight.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh you mean, if if all of a sudden Mandani
goes out and he gets ambushed the way the New
York City cops were ambushed. Uh, and it gets hit,
It gets hit in the face, and his face gets
lacerated because it's an ice ball, not even a snowball.
And they're pounding these cops after they lured them to
the area, you know, calling in a complaint of a
(18:42):
disruption that's going on. Uh, then it will We'll just
say it's a snowball fight. What's up, mister Mayer. Sorry,
you have those lacerations in your face. At unbelievable. These
people so disgraceful.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's it is so disgustingly disgraceful.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Said it. He said, It's just a snowb he did.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He said, kids in a snowball fight. The guy they
arrested was twenty seven and at a rap sheet. Great, yeah,
that's a kid. No, they got ambushed. It's disgusting. I
just wanted to knops don't get paid enough for the
one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and
then they get ambushed and the mayor won't support the cops.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
My advice to NYPD officers, and I'm sorry for my
friends in New York City that I'm saying this, but
for their safety and protection and sanity. It's already a
dangerous enough job. You don't get paid enough to begin with.
There are plenty of police departments and sheriff's departments around
the country that would love the training that you got
(19:41):
in New York City. You might want to think about it, Mitch,
appreciate you man. You have a great weekend. Eight hundred
and ninety four to one, Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program, Dana and Maryland, Dana,
glad you called. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Hey, Sean, I wanted to thank you for a great show.
He's done a lot of great shows, but this is
truly one of the most powerful ones I've ever heard,
so strong. I also wanted to praise Donald Trump. President
Trump had me absolutely standing up, applaud and houton and holler,
and then turn his speeches. And the thing I really
(20:19):
liked out of this last one was him calling out
the Democrats. I've said it for years, call him out,
show them what they really are. And that's just what
he'd every time he brought up something that was good
or honorable or patriotic, they wouldn't stand And it was
wonderful to see him show them, show us what they
really are. What it really reminded me of was Rush,
(20:43):
because you and Rush are the two best at calling
out the Democrats. And the other moment that it really
made me think of was how great it was when
he forced the Democrats to come to Rush Limbaugh's Medal
of Freedom ceremony.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Can you believe it was five years ago? The only
thing I would dispute, and this is non false humility.
There's nobody that can match Rush. And we all owe
a debt of gratitude to him, those of us in
this business, because he paved the way and he forged
the path and was so grateful to.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Him, and we miss him. And I said then that
nobody can replace him. I stand by that today. But
you're right.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
He was a genius at it, and he did it
with his tongue, you know, very very carefully placed in
his cheek, and he did it with a great sense
of humor, and he tore them up and they they
hated him. I mean, I mean I'm kind of hated too,
But I mean it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So is Trump and you're all really good at it.
Keep calling him out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I guess if I'm not hated, I'm not doing my job.
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I won't take it personally anyway, my friend, God bless
you and Dana Maryland. You have a great weekend, all right,
and pray for our troops. All right, quick break, right
back to our phones, says Friday, eight hundred ninety four one,
Seawan our number. If you want to be a part
of the program.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Are you sick of fake news? Well we've got you covered.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Kennedy watches here and has the news you need.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Sean Hannity, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Back to our phones this Friday, eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If you want to be a part of the program, Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Tony in the great state of Texas. You know you
have great people in Texas. I like Ted Cruz, I
like Governor Abbitt a lot. You have some great people.
I was texting with Governor abbit last night. How are you,
my friend, I'm.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Good, mister Hannity, It's an honor to speak with you.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
How are you, sir, I'm good, sir, God bless Texas.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Thank you. Yes, And I wanted to call. I wanted
to talk to you about the Save America Act. I
have contacted Congressman Ronnie Jackson, my Congressman, Senator Cruz, and
Senator Worthless Cornyn, and I have let them know my
feelings on this. Yesterday, I was at a point of
being so livid that I called Senator Thune's office when
(23:36):
I had heard him say earlier in the week that
there's no time for a filibuster, and the thinking is
that they're not going to do anything with the Save
America Act. And when I saw that they were doing
the dog parade yesterday, that sent me over the edge. Sir,
I am a huge dog lover, but it wasn't even
(23:58):
take your dog to work happens in October. I take
my little blind Wiener dog to work in October on
take your dog to Work Day. But that was so ridiculous.
I called Senator Thune's office. I told him, I gave
him my full name, told him I'm from the proudly
from the Great Republic of Texas, and then I gave
(24:18):
him my thoughts on well, first of all, the fact
that it's time for him to stand up be a leader.
I told him very thoughtfully. I was very measured in
my tone as I told him he needed to grow
a set of.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You actually talked to him or his office.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
His office, I talked, I left a message. I oh,
because you know, but I'm I guess what I'm wondering
is I was. I was at the point where I thought, okay,
and I mentioned on my message he may as well
go back and sit on the porch in South Dakota,
because he would do just as much good for the
country doing that as he is doing. In this case,
this isn't about you or me. It's not even about
(24:56):
saving the Republican Party. This is about saving the Republic
of the United States of America. And if we don't
do it, if they don't do it, now we're in
a world of hurt. Mister Hannity, I.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Agree completely with you. I'm with Ted Cruz, I'm with
Mike Lee. If the Democrats want a filibuster, make them
do a real filibuster.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And make them stand there.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I understand the argument by some Republicans, especially upper
re election, they're going to say, oh, now we're handing
over the floor to the Democrats, and they're going to
make us take a series of votes.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
They'll have control of the Senate floor.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's all true, and they'll probably have to vote to
not to not raise payments for the ACA Act. Some
actually think it could pass, which would suck. But I'm
willing to fight for what we believe in. It's too important.
Integrity in our elections is too important. Competence and election
(25:57):
results is too important. And next week the House is
going to take up the sanctuary State and City bill,
and they're going to be faced with us again. And
I get it. I mean, unfortunately, we've got a bunch
of senators, you know, Lisa Murkowski has one, and Mitch
McConnell and Senator Tilla's North Carolina. I mean, it pisses
(26:18):
me off Senator Curtis of Utah for crying out loud
good grief.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It pisses me off.
Hour two Sean Hannity Show to hold for you on
numbers eight hundred and nine to four one Sean if
you want to be a part of the program. This Friday,
we are officially on a RAN watch. As I mentioned
in the first hour of the program. Today, Nuclear talks
for the most part, in spite of some reports, kind
of struck out and the President I've never known Donald
(00:21):
Trump not to keep his deadlines.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Let's put it that way. So we'll get back into that.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
We'll have Senator Rick Scott and others on throughout the
program today.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We had in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This was the first case, and then there have been
so many since, too many to even list on this
program about you have illegal immigrants that can't read English
and can't read road signs that are getting commercial driver's licenses.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In my free state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Three innocent people are dead because of this illegal that
we find out after the fact couldn't read English, couldn't
read road signs, and failed spectacularly, had a commercial eighteen
wheeler driver's license from the state of Washington and the
state of California. I mean, it is putting so many
(01:14):
people at risk now It's been highlighted time and time again,
and you have to ask yourself, well, what is it
going to take for this to end? And then this
week we had this incident where a guy is on
the right side of the road and he's filming an
eighteen wheeler driving on the wrong side of a highway
(01:34):
and it's going on and on and on right into
head on traffic. How nothing happened in this instance is
nothing short of a miracle. Now Sean Duffy has, you know,
put out edicts and directives that they're not going to
be allowed to do this anymore. But it's still happening,
(01:55):
as we saw this week. The Attorney General of Indiana,
Todd Kida, is going to join us in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
He wrote this piece for The Federalist.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He said, amid anti ice activism, Indiana needs to boost
state level immigration enforcement. Unfortunately, even in Republican run Indiana,
some local entities have joined this effort to give sanctuary
to illegal aliens and frustrate federal law enforcement. As Indiana's
Attorney General, I take seriously the authority given to me
(02:28):
by the legislature to enforce our state's anti sanctuary law.
We do have the supremacy clause. By the way of
the Constitution, this is me, not him. And of course
federal laws are enforced by the federal government and no
local authority, no state authority has the ability to overcome that.
But we see what's been happening in Minnesota and sanctuary
(02:50):
states like California and New York City and elsewhere. Anyway,
he points out, this prohibits local government's law enforcement, state
educational institutions from having policies that limit cooperation with federal
immigration laws and detainer requests. I'm doing everything in my
power under the law to eliminate the remaining sanctuary jurisdictions
(03:11):
in our state. But Indiana could do more to combat
illegal immigration support federal law enforcement. And that's why I've
been a strong vocal advocate for the for the Indiana
General Assembly to pass the Fairness Act now in Indiana
that Senate Bill seventy six in the current session would
mandate compliance with ICE detainers, authorize his office to take
(03:35):
legal action against companies that knowingly intentionally hire, recruit, or
employee illegals. And I'm encouraged that the General Assembly has
made good progress in this session in moving the Fairness Act.
This has got to happen everywhere. Now, we also have
this issue of Delilah's Law, which is a proposed piece
(03:55):
of federal legislation announced by the President during his State
of the Year union, and that law aims to prohibit
any state from granting a commercial driver's license and CDLs.
They call them to illegal immigrants. And I mean it's
named after Delilah Coleman, a five year old girl that
the President introduced to the nation this week who suffered
(04:20):
severe injuries they didn't think she'd ever walk again, including
traumatic brain injury cerebral palsy, after an eighteen wheeler driven
by an illegal immigrant from India caused a multi car
pile up in California in June of twenty four.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The purpose is obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The initiative design to enhance roadway safety and ensure that
only legal residents and citizens. By the way, I'll add,
people that can read English and road signs with proper
background checks are allowed to operate heavy commercial vehicles. This
is just simple, basic common sense anyway, The Attorney General
of the Great State of Indiana, Todd Kata, joins us now, sir,
(05:00):
first of all, thank you for being well. The second
of all, thank you for what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Hey son. Great to be back on. I don't know
anyone who worked harder than new Man Radio show and
TV every night, and we love listening and watching You
Now podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I don't ever stop working, you know why, because I'm
a loser. But that's a separate issue for another day.
But this is a really serious issue.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah it is. And you know what, I'm proud of
our General Assembly. You know, we've had five people in Indiana.
Let's start with the Indiana version of Delilah's Law. First,
We've had five people in Indiana over the last month.
Sean die because of some knucklehead doesn't speak English, not
(05:40):
supposed to be here at all, has a commercial semi
truck license, running out running them over. And that's real.
And so I was so pleased to hear the President
talk about Delilah's Law and that that little girl seeing
her and her father, which I saw in Fox before.
You know, it's needed, but let's face it. And by
the way, I think our good friend Jim Banks, the
(06:02):
Senator from Indiana, is carrying Delilah's Law. But even he
would tell you Congress can't tie it shoes, right, I mean,
look at what they're doing with the Savac. So Indiana,
I'm not waiting for Congress to get this done. We're
going to do what we can in the state. So
I bet as we're talking literally, I hope I'm not
jinxing us. But as we're talking, or shortly after day,
(06:24):
Indiana will be the first state to have an Indiana
version of Delilah's Law. I hope we call it Terry's Law,
because that was the last fellow, the sixty four year
old who got run over by one of these illegal
alien truck drivers. And what it'll do will revoke the
licenses of illegal alien drivers. It requires English proficiency. It
has penalties for these illegal drivers, legal alien drivers, these
(06:48):
inalogible drivers, these non certified ones. It's a level six
felony punishable by a five thousand dollars fine. And here's
something better. It goes after the vehicle or truck owned
owners who employ these illegal alien drivers find them up
to fifty thousand dollars. Then it allows me to go
after driving schools and training programs that certify these illegal
(07:10):
alien drivers, and I get to find them fifty thousand dollars.
So we're on it. We're not standing for this. Yes,
there is a supremacy clause, but states are sovereign entities
as well, and we're taking care of this on our own.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, I'm glad you're doing this here, especially in this case.
How is it possible people think it's okay if somebody
can't read English and they can't read road signs. Can
you explain to me, I a state like California can
can issue commercial drivers' licenses for these people to drive
(07:47):
eighteen wheelers. That to me makes them culpable because that
means that test was designed for an idiot. That means
that test did not require basic simple a mental reading comprehension,
or there's.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know, I'm not I don't have the evidence to accuse.
But you also have to assume too that it could
be outright fraud, outright bribery. There could be some things
going on on the table in some of these states.
I mean, it's not outlandish to think that. Looks what's
happening in Minnesota with medicaid, So you know, it could
be that could be happening. And when you don't respect
the rule of law, if you want to put legal aliens,
if you have a state government that wants to put
(08:24):
legal aliens over its citizens, like California and so many
other liberal, left leaning states do, well, then you make
it really easy. But we're not going to have that
in Indiana. I'm not not under my watch. And you know,
we have an underbelly here in Indiana that is that
that has some left leanings to it. And I'll get
to that when we talk about the Fairness Act that
(08:44):
you summarized my op ed with. But no, we're not
going to do We're not going to take that laying
down here. And and so you see us with these
English proficiency requirements. I mean, it's it's looking like in
so many other areas of the law today that we
have to pass a lot like you can't mutilate a
child under the eighteen by changing their sexes. Right, we
(09:07):
have to have a law on that. They never thought
I have to say that, but we have it in Indiana.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We can't play boy if you're a boy, you can't
play on girls sports teams. We have a law on that.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
We'll probably get a good Supreme Court ruling here, by
the way, in a few two weeks, but we do
have a strong law in Indiana. We're not going to
tolerate that. And the reason, if it's not outright fraud
of it's not outright bribery, if it's not outright Marxism
and leftism and Sean, then it's the dollar dollar bill.
It's the fact that people want cheap these employers want
(09:39):
cheap labor.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You see, I have friends of mine in the trucking industry,
and I've had long conversations with them. The trucking industry
I believed and thought, and at least my friends take
it seriously enough that there are very rigorous, rigid standards
and there are a lot of people. For example, before
trucker goes on a drive, I know for a fact
(10:04):
one of the things that the drivers kind of balk
at is they've got to get drug tested, and that
means you've got to get the driver in time to
a testing place. They get tested, they have to pass
the test before they can ever get behind the wheel
of that eighteen wheeler. Then they have to stay on
top of the drivers to make sure that they're on time.
I know for a fact that they have cameras inside
(10:27):
the cab that they can see and talk to the
driver at any given time. That they're out there, they
get an alert on their phone if they hit the
brakes too hard or if god forbid, they're in an accident,
they'll be alerted to that. I mean, we have the
sophisticated technology out there, so you know, it's kind of
hard to comprehend. Now, this Somali driver with this legal
(10:50):
Minnesota CDL license was called driving, you know, the eighty
ton truck the wrong way for.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Miles and miles.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I'm watching this and I'm like, oh God, please, he's
driving into oncoming traffic. He's on the wrong side of
the highway. He couldn't read basic road signs. Again, this
is not the first time this has happened. I mentioned
the case in my state of Florida, and you know,
how come this is continuing. There ought to be you know,
we ought to go out there and we ought to
(11:20):
make sure every driver gets retested. And I'm not trying
to be a pain ay as to drivers. I love drivers.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You know, we need to thank drivers because every store
we go to and it's stocked to the brim is
because of those drivers. And I'm grateful to them, and
I hope they make more money. I hope you know,
especially with lower fuel prices, that they're making more money
than they were before.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Well, of course, you know, and look, maybe prices are
going to go up for this because I can hear
the employers that I'm going to go after here shortly
once this bill pass, I can hear them in my ear. Now,
how much do you want to pay you go into Walmart?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Todd?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, you know you mentioned the equipment that's that that's used.
You know, all that costs money. The training costs money.
But this is a good American job when it's done correctly.
And if consumers have to pay more so that we
don't die on our roads because we have some Somali
or Indian or Mexican or whoever they shouldn't be here
(12:13):
driving these trucks, then we'll have to address that. Okay,
But it's not right to subvert the rule of law
to put these illegal aliens over citizens so you can
have a cheaper box of cookies at Walmart. I mean,
we're not doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right, quick break right back more with Indiana Attorney General
Todd Roketa. On the other side of eight one hundred
and nine foot one seawan our number. If you want
to be a part of the program. Uh, all right, Linda,
you see what I see. I'm sure you're thinking the
way I'm thinking.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah, it's a frightening time. I think what I've been watching,
and I've been saying to a lot of sort of
you know, nationalists, isolationist type people, we are in a
very it's a pivot moment. You know what's happening in Iran.
If you choose to look away, you are literally letting
hundreds of thousands of people who are under Islamic terrorist
(13:06):
rule die. Because that's what's happening. They're killing them in
the street. It doesn't matter if you're a grandmother or
you're a baby, and they are dead, and they are
left for dead. People are searching through body bags to
find their relatives. It is a very very scary thing.
And if not us, then who people are saying all TV.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's not No, that is important in every way that
you just describe. But I think it's bigger than that,
and that is they're the number one state sponsor of
terror and they have killed Americans in Iraq and elsewhere.
That's why President Trump and his first term took out
Solomani like Daddy and associates. He understood the existential threat
that is ISIS and he wiped them out too, and
(13:49):
he took out the nuclear facilities. And these people are
so hell bent in their rigid, sick, twisted, bizarre ideology.
They want nuclear weapons so bad. Knowing what's likely to happen,
they don't care. And this mindset of convert or die,
and that this is a holy war jihad against the infidels,
(14:12):
and the idea that if they do get killed, don't worry.
We're going to give you, you know, seventy two virgins in heaven.
You know this is you know, this is beyond evil.
This is Islamic fascism. We're not talking about Islam. We're
talking about radical Islamis. We make the distinction on this program.
And when people say death to Israel, death to America,
(14:35):
when they say they want to attack our homeland, which
they have done many, many times, I would say, you'd
be pretty smart to believe them. And here's the big
question in my mind. Do we wait six months from
now when we know they are building out, not only
re constituting their nuclear abilities and Steve Wikoff's they might
(15:00):
be a week away, Remember that we do believe that
they had some enriched uranium that we have no idea
where it is, and that was after the fourteen bunker
buster bombs the last time. So if they just at
which they have been insisting, their state run media last
night said it, they're not going to give up enriching uranium.
(15:22):
They went from two thousand pound ballistic missiles the last time,
the twelve dayed War that they were firing into Israel.
Now they've got four thousand pound ballistic missiles. They're threatening,
and they're putting out images of sinking American ships that
are in the region six months from now. God only
knows how far advanced they will be. Do I wish
(15:44):
we could stay out of it.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I do do. I stand with the Trump doctrine. I do.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
This is consistent with the Trump doctrine. You know, see
a threat and wipe it out before it gets to you,
and then it becomes a much bigger problem. No boots
on the ground, no forever wars. The President is going
to unleash hell is my prediction, and we will win.
It is always risky. I think if people can take
(16:12):
a moment and pray for our brave men and women
in the military, you know this is a sick, twisted,
ugly enemy number one state sponsor of terror. But then
ask yourself, is it better to take them out now
or to deal with them when they had nuclear capability?
Because such fanaticism, You will never convince me that they
wouldn't use those nuclear weapons. Mutually assured destruction does not
(16:36):
apply to them. Did you want to add one thing?
I didn't mean to go off on the no.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Listen, you make excellent points. There's no question we certainly
don't want Islamic radical terrorists having nuclear capability. In my opinion,
they've probably had it for a very very long time
and have been kept in check for other reasons and
by other allies in the Middle East region. I think
right now we're at a pivot point because the people
of Iran have spoken out and said we are not Muslim,
(17:03):
we are not here to be under your rule, and
we would like to come out and be the Persia
that we once were here in Iran, and unfortunately that
doesn't really jive with the IRGC. So I think that
both of these things are incredibly important, and I think
that there needs to be more people that are aware.
If you look at Venezuela. If you look at Cuba
and you talk to the people on the ground, they
(17:24):
will tell you they want the help of the United States.
Nobody else is coming. Europe is done. We have nothing
from them. Thank God for Greece stepping in where the
UK stepped out. But we need to act, all.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Right, Let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program this Friday, let's say hi to Mitch.
He's in Minnesota. Mitch, how are you. My apologies tampon
Tim and mayor small fry lucky you, Yes.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Lucky me.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
No, I'm tough back to follow. I'm trying to be
funny here. But as for Madannie, love what he said
about the snowball fights?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh you love what he said about it? Are you
being facetious?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
No?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
I love what he said. It's a snow fight. Now,
if they go for a Guinness Booker record of snowball
fights and in New York and he happens to be
in the middle, guess what, It's just a snowball fight.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh you mean, if if all of a sudden Mandani
goes out and he gets ambushed the way the New
York City cops were ambushed. Uh, and it gets hit,
It gets hit in the face, and his face gets
lacerated because it's an ice ball, not even a snowball.
And they're pounding these cops after they lured them to
the area, you know, calling in a complaint of a
(18:42):
disruption that's going on. Uh, then it will We'll just
say it's a snowball fight. What's up, mister Mayer. Sorry,
you have those lacerations in your face. At unbelievable. These
people so disgraceful.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's it is so disgustingly disgraceful.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Said it. He said, It's just a snowb he did.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He said, kids in a snowball fight. The guy they
arrested was twenty seven and at a rap sheet. Great, yeah,
that's a kid. No, they got ambushed. It's disgusting. I
just wanted to knops don't get paid enough for the
one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and
then they get ambushed and the mayor won't support the cops.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
My advice to NYPD officers, and I'm sorry for my
friends in New York City that I'm saying this, but
for their safety and protection and sanity. It's already a
dangerous enough job. You don't get paid enough to begin with.
There are plenty of police departments and sheriff's departments around
the country that would love the training that you got
(19:41):
in New York City. You might want to think about it, Mitch,
appreciate you man. You have a great weekend. Eight hundred
and ninety four to one, Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program, Dana and Maryland, Dana,
glad you called. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Hey, Sean, I wanted to thank you for a great show.
He's done a lot of great shows, but this is
truly one of the most powerful ones I've ever heard,
so strong. I also wanted to praise Donald Trump. President
Trump had me absolutely standing up, applaud and houton and holler,
and then turn his speeches. And the thing I really
(20:19):
liked out of this last one was him calling out
the Democrats. I've said it for years, call him out,
show them what they really are. And that's just what
he'd every time he brought up something that was good
or honorable or patriotic, they wouldn't stand And it was
wonderful to see him show them, show us what they
really are. What it really reminded me of was Rush,
(20:43):
because you and Rush are the two best at calling
out the Democrats. And the other moment that it really
made me think of was how great it was when
he forced the Democrats to come to Rush Limbaugh's Medal
of Freedom ceremony.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
It was great.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Can you believe it was five years ago? The only
thing I would dispute, and this is non false humility.
There's nobody that can match Rush. And we all owe
a debt of gratitude to him, those of us in
this business, because he paved the way and he forged
the path and was so grateful to.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Him, and we miss him. And I said then that
nobody can replace him. I stand by that today. But
you're right.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
He was a genius at it, and he did it
with his tongue, you know, very very carefully placed in
his cheek, and he did it with a great sense
of humor, and he tore them up and they they
hated him. I mean, I mean I'm kind of hated too,
But I mean it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
So is Trump and you're all really good at it.
Keep calling him out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I guess if I'm not hated, I'm not doing my job.
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I won't take it personally anyway, my friend, God bless
you and Dana Maryland. You have a great weekend, all right,
and pray for our troops. All right, quick break, right
back to our phones, says Friday, eight hundred ninety four one,
Seawan our number. If you want to be a part
of the program.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Are you sick of fake news? Well we've got you covered.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Kennedy watches here and has the news you need.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Sean Hannity, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Back to our phones this Friday, eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If you want to be a part of the program, Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Tony in the great state of Texas. You know you
have great people in Texas. I like Ted Cruz, I
like Governor Abbitt a lot. You have some great people.
I was texting with Governor abbit last night. How are you,
my friend, I'm.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Good, mister Hannity, It's an honor to speak with you.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
How are you, sir, I'm good, sir, God bless Texas.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Thank you. Yes, And I wanted to call. I wanted
to talk to you about the Save America Act. I
have contacted Congressman Ronnie Jackson, my Congressman, Senator Cruz, and
Senator Worthless Cornyn, and I have let them know my
feelings on this. Yesterday, I was at a point of
being so livid that I called Senator Thune's office when
(23:36):
I had heard him say earlier in the week that
there's no time for a filibuster, and the thinking is
that they're not going to do anything with the Save
America Act. And when I saw that they were doing
the dog parade yesterday, that sent me over the edge. Sir,
I am a huge dog lover, but it wasn't even
(23:58):
take your dog to work happens in October. I take
my little blind Wiener dog to work in October on
take your dog to Work Day. But that was so ridiculous.
I called Senator Thune's office. I told him, I gave
him my full name, told him I'm from the proudly
from the Great Republic of Texas, and then I gave
(24:18):
him my thoughts on well, first of all, the fact
that it's time for him to stand up be a leader.
I told him very thoughtfully. I was very measured in
my tone as I told him he needed to grow
a set of.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You actually talked to him or his office.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
His office, I talked, I left a message. I oh,
because you know, but I'm I guess what I'm wondering
is I was. I was at the point where I thought, okay,
and I mentioned on my message he may as well
go back and sit on the porch in South Dakota,
because he would do just as much good for the
country doing that as he is doing. In this case,
this isn't about you or me. It's not even about
(24:56):
saving the Republican Party. This is about saving the Republic
of the United States of America. And if we don't
do it, if they don't do it, now we're in
a world of hurt. Mister Hannity, I.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Agree completely with you. I'm with Ted Cruz, I'm with
Mike Lee. If the Democrats want a filibuster, make them
do a real filibuster.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And make them stand there.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And I understand the argument by some Republicans, especially upper
re election, they're going to say, oh, now we're handing
over the floor to the Democrats, and they're going to
make us take a series of votes.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
They'll have control of the Senate floor.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's all true, and they'll probably have to vote to
not to not raise payments for the ACA Act. Some
actually think it could pass, which would suck. But I'm
willing to fight for what we believe in. It's too important.
Integrity in our elections is too important. Competence and election
(25:57):
results is too important. And next week the House is
going to take up the sanctuary State and City bill,
and they're going to be faced with us again. And
I get it. I mean, unfortunately, we've got a bunch
of senators, you know, Lisa Murkowski has one, and Mitch
McConnell and Senator Tilla's North Carolina. I mean, it pisses
(26:18):
me off Senator Curtis of Utah for crying out loud
good grief.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It pisses me off.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
