With 60 days until Election Day, Jason Chaffetz examines how far the Democratic Party has moved toward the Democratic Socialists of America. Congressman Pat Fallon joins him to discuss allegations surrounding ActBlue donations, the investigation into possible campaign-finance abuses, and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Later, House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil breaks down the House vote in which nearly 200 Democrats refused to back a resolution denouncing socialism, while Jason argues that border security, election integrity, policing, and the future balance of power are all on the ballot this November.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm watching AOC. She's saying, I was only kidding about
(00:31):
the things I used to say. But they'll go back
to those things.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We must pass my trans bill of rights. If Democrats
were able to take back the gavel in the House,
would you support impeaching Donald Trump?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
On day one, Peter.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I am so thankful that young activists have really drawn
the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
And it is on.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
On.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And so is the countdown.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
T-minus 60 days until election day.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Gonna play our guitars and sing.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You a country song.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
The new Sean Hannity Show. More behind-the-scenes information on breaking
news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Amazing 60 days out from the election day and pretty
much a jump ball at this point. We're going to
see what happens. But everybody predicted all the Democrats are
going to dominate. But you know what they've dominated? They
have dominated crazy drain. They have dominated in the wackiness
that is the socialist communist efforts that they have been
(01:51):
making the crazy policies and allowing people, you know, the
crazies to take over. And I don't think America is
going to put up with it. So this idea that, oh,
it's an off your election and Donald Trump's not on
the ballot.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, I think most of America's waking up saying this
is just not where we want to be. Then, you know,
who is at the top of the list, at least
this hour here on in the first part of September,
let's give the award to Danbury, Connecticut, Danbury, Connecticut voting for,
By a big vote, 18 to 2. Their city council,
(02:26):
that's a big city council, right? That's a lot of people.
18 to 2. What did they just do? They voted
to allow non-citizen residents to become police officers. So you
don't even have to be a citizen of the United
States of America. And in Danbury, Connecticut, they're going to
sign you up. What are they going to swear allegiance to?
(02:47):
I mean, seriously, what are they going to do? Danbury,
Connecticut has just approved the idea that they're going to
hire people to be police officers that are not Americans.
Those people should be arrested and deported. I guess ICE
is going to have to look at that and maybe
check the roles of the police officers in Danbury, Connecticut.
(03:09):
I would love to see ICE go and start arresting
Danbury police officers and say, oh, you're not even a citizen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You're headed back to wherever you came from. You know,
there are good Americans out there looking for good jobs,
and they're getting taken advantage of. How in the world?
18 to 2 was the vote. Democrats all voted for this,
of course. Even one so-called Republican. I don't know what
that guy's doing, but the two that were no's were Republicans.
(03:41):
But seriously, Danbury, Connecticut, non-citizens, unbelievable. Well, we got a
lot to talk about. There's a lot happening in America,
even though we're going into one of the great ends
of summer, Labor Day. But I'm thrilled to have on
Congressman Pat Fallon. He's Texas's fourth congressional district, served in
(04:02):
our United States Air Force. We thank him for that service.
He's also the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Well,
he wants to be that. Let's be honest. He wants
to be the next chairman of Oversight. I've been the
chairman of Oversight. A guy's highly qualified. And if you
aren't paying attention to what Pat Fallon's doing, then you're
missing what the future looks like. So, Pat Fallon, Congressman,
(04:25):
thanks so much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Chairman Jason, how are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Doing great. So what's your hot take? I know you
probably haven't had a chance to read it. Just came
across the wires. Danbury, Connecticut, allowing non-citizens to become police
officers in, I thought it was a great state of Connecticut,
but not so much.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Troubling, and I think you were very eloquent and articulate
with what you said. I mean, what do they swear
allegiance to? This is, to be a sworn peace officer,
it goes without saying you should be and need to
be an American citizen, first and foremost, because we hold
police officers and those in law enforcement, particularly those that
are sworn, to a higher standard. Just the same thing
(05:06):
we would do with the military. So I find it
interesting that they did this.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, it's crazy town as far as I'm concerned. I
want to talk about something, you know, with all the news,
the Clancy trial, all that kind of stuff going on.
Some of these other really important stories. Give credit to
the House. Give credit to Speaker Johnson because the House
was actually in session this week. The Senators are still,
you know, catching their breath from doing nothing. It's exhausting
(05:35):
doing nothing. And the Senate is still in recess, of course.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So, but.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
There was a really important thing you did in taking
on ActBlue and exposing that. Tell us, for those that
weren't following it moment by moment, blow by blow, what
are you finding with ActBlue?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We're finding that it's really essentially a money laundering organization
for the Democratic Party, and they're violating federal law, the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, over and over again,
it looks like, scores if not hundreds of times. So
let me give you an example. So what it does
is if somebody wants to go, it's supposed to be
(06:17):
act as a conduit. Say you're a liberal and you
want to give $ 100 and you're not really sure who,
you can go to ActBlue and you can donate to
that and then you specify the candidates you want the
money to go to. So they're trying to have us
believe that a lady like Elizabeth Waffle from Michigan, who's
88 years old, who's from reports, was living in a
(06:38):
trailer and had limited access didn't have a computer and
limited internet access, that she donated 15,000 separate times. Okay, Jason,
obviously that didn't happen. And by the way, you know
who said it didn't happen? Elizabeth Waffle said it didn't happen.
She did say that she'd gone on ActBlue and donated
a few times. In order for her to do 15,000,
(07:00):
she would have had to do over eight a day
every day for five years. How many people out there
think that that really happened? I mean, you've got to
be living in orbit around Neptune to believe that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And this is the thing, is there are case after case,
these are allegations that need to be proven out. We
understand all the caveats there. But, you know, this is
the type of thing that oversight needs to do. What
is the Department of Justice saying? What are their examples
out there? Because Some people say, oh, that never, ever happens. And,
you know, it's sort of like, oh, nobody ever votes illegally.
(07:34):
And then we keep hearing story after story after story.
Give us some more meat on the bones of what's
going on with ActBlue and the shady nature, maybe, of
some of these donations.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Sure. If it's ActBlue or WinRed, it doesn't matter. What
they should be doing is erring on the side of
caution rather than being hyper-aggressive. And there are a myriad
of reports that ActBlue was definitely throwing caution to the wind.
In fact, if you donated to ActBlue using PayPal, you
weren't even subject to their standard fraud prevention process through
(08:11):
SWIFT at all. It didn't marry up. You know the
little one, you order something online, you have to give
the three-digit code, that CVV on the back? They weren't
requiring that. They've admitted to scores of violations that they caught.
The problem was they were looking the other way. So
they were either being incredibly sloppy at the very definition
(08:34):
of unprofessional, or they were actually knowingly violating the law.
And that's what we have to find out. And like
you said, everything is allegedly at this point. But we
can tell you that their entire legal and compliance team
resigned or were fired or were on extended leave. after
the November 24 election by March of the next year.
We know that we've had five current and former employees
(09:00):
come in and testify in front of House committees. They've
all taken the fifth.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
They're board members, taking the fifth. There's one more next
week that will come by, taking the fifth. And if
you have done nothing wrong and you want to clear
your name, answer the questions. But they're all taking the fifth.
So they're acting highly suspicious, I would say.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We're talking, of course, with Congressman Pat Fallon, great, you know,
fourth congressional district of Texas. A lot of nutty things there.
I got to shift gears a little bit. Let's talk
about James Tallarico, because you got a vegan-loving, believes Jesus
Christ is, you know, himself is non-binary, believes there are
(09:43):
six genders. I mean, It's hard to believe that this
guy is actually in this race, let alone the nominee,
and that people in Texas, of all places, are considering
voting for him. What else do you know about what's
going on with this race?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, I served in the Texas legislature. when Taylor Frico
became a state rep. And he is a great far-left,
woke liberal for Austin. He's terrible for Texas. Now, this
is the thing, Jason. When they run for the United
States Senate, particularly a state like Texas, All the candidates
(10:19):
then try to move the furniture, as Dick Morris used
to say, to the center. So they try and say, oh, no,
I wouldn't say things like that. But the problem with
Del Rico is he's on video. It's not just his voice, man.
It's him saying things like he wants to dismantle capitalism,
that he's uncomfortable with his whiteness, that he wants to
(10:40):
eviscerate the energy industry in Texas. Gas and oil wants
to eviscerate. Yes, he's a vegan because he doesn't want
to eat meat. So he's a vegan that loves barbecue now.
I mean, he's a complete phony. He's a snake oil salesman.
He's done nothing with his life. And as we chatted
about before, I would implore anyone, never vote for someone
that you wouldn't hire to work for you in the
(11:01):
private sector. Telefrico is completely and wholly incapable, and it
has no experience at all, no success, he can point to,
of doing anything in the private sector. So why would
you vote for him to help run one of the
largest economy histories ever known?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And this is the Democrats' problem from coast to coast,
is they have nominated people that are so foreign to
their own core beliefs. I mean, you see this, you
see it happening in Michigan, you see this happening in Maine,
now you see it happening in Texas. You got the
gubernatorial race, your colleague, my former colleague, Andy Biggs, running
(11:39):
for governor. of Arizona, where the sitting governor won't even debate,
like won't even sit in the same room as Andy Biggs.
Just a great man, good quality person, and would make
a great governor of Arizona. And then you have this telefrico,
as you call him. Any other anecdotes? I mean, you
(12:00):
served with him in the legislature.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, let me give you a perfect example. This is
kind of a no-brainer, right? So Texas doesn't have a
state of context. But, you know, you want to put...
You want to make sure it never happens because there
could be things that occurred that would be a perfect excuse.
So in 2019, I'm a senator and I filed a bill.
I want to ban the possibility of an income tax
(12:24):
ever in the future. And you need two-thirds of both chambers,
House and Senate. So I'm in the Senate until a
freak goes in the House. We need 100 votes out
of the 150. We get them because every Republican and
17 Democrats voted with us. We eventually got it in
the Senate. The governor signed the law. And then what happens...
You know, six months later, there's COVID, which could have
been a perfect excuse to implement an income tax. So
(12:45):
it couldn't have happened because we got to the voters
and they said, we agree, never again, never. James Tallarico
was on the side of the possibility of in the
future having a state income tax. That's what he does.
He will say anything. He says that the United States
flag is a complicated symbol. It's red, it's white, and
it's blue, and it represents the greatest country that has
ever been created. That's not a complicated symbol. This is
(13:09):
not somebody that reflects the virtues and the values of
the great citizens of the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, that United States flag is one that's meant to
unite the United States of America, not be complicated. If
you can't figure out what the red, white, and blue
with the stars and stripes, what that actually means, probably
shouldn't be a United States senator. Let you go back
to your drawing room and go eat some celery and
try to figure out why why you're not getting enough
(13:38):
protein and, you know, why you can't figure out what
patriotism actually looks like. Pat Fallon, Congressman, Texas, doing some
great work uncovering and doing things with Dak Blue, doing
a lot of things with the Oversight Committee. Watch him
as part of the future there in running that committee
because there's so many things. There's always somebody doing something
(13:59):
stupid somewhere. So best of luck to you. Thank you
so much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Thanks, Jason. Yeah, tell if Rico can go and regurgitate
those celery sticks along with his Occupy Democrat talking points.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There you go. Absolutely. Pat Fallon, stay with us. We'll
be right back.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
You know, now that the adults are back in office,
maybe we can get some work done around here.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Are you ready?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Welcome back, President Trump.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
There's always a lovely feeling associated with it. It's almost
like you pave over all the trauma with like puppy
dogs and ice cream. And the 80s was a brutal,
brutal time for people. It was a mess. And like,
you know, people forget that it was like, that was
a tremendous strife, sociopolitical tensions everywhere. You know, we're still
like pretty fresh off like a Cuban Missile Crisis, which
is only like, what, 15, 20 years before. So, you know,
(15:23):
it's a tumultuous period. But you look back at it
now and you're like, oh yeah, Top Gun, cocaine. Like, no,
it was like a really scary.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
There's Ryan Reynolds, the self-proclaimed pretty boy who is trying
to redefine history. What he's forgetting about is that coming
into 1978, 79, the heels of Jimmy Carter's administration, this
economy was in shambles. Our military was falling apart. There
was a malaise that was falling over the country. And
(15:54):
guess what happened? Then you had President Reagan come in.
It was morning in America. He got the economy moving
in the right direction. He was able to bring the
hostages back from Iran. The country started to thrive again.
And that Cold War that we had going on? Mr.
President or Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall. That was
(16:14):
Ronald Reagan. Those were the 1980s. And yeah, I understand
that the flock of seagulls and the other Thompson twins
and other bands that you probably didn't like at the time,
Duran Duran and MTV and all that, that was really
triggered you in the wrong direction. Heaven forbid that we
play Dire Straits or something like that. But you know what?
(16:36):
The 80s, kind of where I grew up, kind of
my high school years and stuff was actually a really
good time in America. So Ryan Reynolds may poo poo
it and may think that it was just like this awful,
awful time. And there was a lot of strife. But
we were coming out of a Democratic administration with Jimmy Carter,
who about destroyed this country militarily and with its. It's
(16:57):
democratic principles. And now he goes out and trashes it.
One of the most successful actors became super rich, still
hates this country, still hates Donald Trump, still doesn't think
it's good enough. But I get so tired of these
lectures from these self-proclaimed liberal celebrities that are out there saying, oh,
that was an awful time. Sorry, Ryan Reynolds. You know,
(17:20):
I kind of like your movies. I sort of laugh
at some stuff, but I get tired of hearing from
you opine on politics and whatnot if you had something
of substance to say where we maybe we could actually
have a dialogue and a discussion and then maybe we
could actually decide and talk about something that would be
you know we could actually have a discussion about but
(17:41):
you can't get from here to there that's my take
i'm jason chaffin stay with us more to come after the.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Break The Sean Hannity Show, a thermonuclear MMA assault on
(18:21):
fake news. Hannity's on right now.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Hey, this is Jason Chaffetz filling in for Sean Hannity.
Hope you can check me out at JasonInTheHouse. That's all
my social media. Should be able to spell JasonInTheHouse. Go
check me out there. And then also I got a podcast, JasonInTheHouse.
Go check it out. I made a big deal about Danbury, Connecticut.
allowing by a vote of 18 to 2 for non-citizens
(18:49):
to become police officers. Then I was reminded by Kim Coleman,
the Republican National Committee woman for the great state of Utah,
where I happen to reside. That's where home is. She
reminded me back in 2021, the Utah State Legislature and
Governor Spencer Cox, what'd they do? They approved. Non-citizens becoming
(19:10):
police officers in the state of Utah. Evidently, it's still
the law. Senate Bill 0102 from 2021. You don't have
to be a citizen to be a police officer in
the state of Utah. What the? That is just unbelievable. Please,
if you know of other municipalities, states, counties, whatever, I
want to hear about them because Somebody should make a
(19:31):
list of these. That is unbelievable to me. I think
one of the minimum requirements for somebody to become a
police officer and pledge allegiance to our country should be
that you're a citizen. Not that you got some other paperwork,
that you're a citizen of the United States of America.
My goodness, is that too much to ask? You should
(19:52):
be a citizen. That's the way it should go. But
thanks to Kim Coleman for actually bringing that up. We
got to move on, but it really did bother me here.
So we have Representative Brian Stiles. he's a chairman. He
chairs the Committee on House Administration, but he does a
(20:14):
lot of good work. He's from the 1st District of Wisconsin.
He joins us now on the Sean Hannity Show. Congressman, Chairman,
thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Jason, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
No, I truly appreciate it. I want to talk about,
I mean, there's so much we can talk about. First
of all, I applaud you. I applaud Speaker Johnson for
actually being in session this week, or the United States
Senate wasn't. Um, and, uh, there's gotta, you know, gotta
get a headstart on that labor day weekend. Um, cause
(20:46):
you know, didn't have time to pass the save America
act that was going to take too long. Uh, but
now they get to be on recess for three, almost
four weeks. Um, but I want to talk to you
about socialism, communism, um, because I ain't getting tired of
hearing these Democrats talk about, Oh, Donald Trump's a fascist.
(21:06):
I saw somebody the other day wearing a shirt. And
I said, wow, you're against fascism. I guess you're against
the Democratic platform at this point. Is that really what
you're against? Because they don't, I think, understand the definition
of what it is. But, you know, there was an
opportunity to express themselves. But you saw it up close
and personal. Tell us what happened there on the floor
(21:28):
in the House of Representatives and how that whole vote
and discussion and debate happened.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, Jason, as you know, this is not your grandfather's
Democratic Party anymore. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by
radical activists that are driving forward a socialist agenda, in particular,
the Democratic Socialists of America agenda, which is why we
brought forward a resolution this week to vote and denounce socialism,
(21:54):
to actually say, no, we do not support the federal
government gutting out election integrity. We don't want an open border.
We don't support their agenda. 192 Democrats rejected that resolution.
In other words, they're standing with the socialist agenda of
the Democratic Socialists of America, the most radical organization we
(22:16):
have seen in a long time in the United States
of America. And so the Democratic Party has shifted dramatically,
the radical activists have are driving the train, and the
few remaining rational actors on the Democratic side have effectively
surrendered to the radical left. And this is in particular
true as it relates to election integrity. These Democrats want
(22:38):
to remove the popular election of the president of the
United States and instead in Congress with even more power.
It shows you that Democrats want to concentrate more, and
it's the reason it's easy to vote socialism in, but
nearly impossible to remove it.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, explain the debate. I mean, you're there on the floor.
You're paying attention. You're chairman. What are the arguments that
I mean, why was this so this this resolution?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's not binding, but there's an opportunity to express yourself.
What was the argument that these Democrats were making?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
The Democratic arguments are effectively putting their head in the
sand because they're absolutely petrified of the Democratic Socialists of America.
You look at the nation's largest city, New York, and
their Democratic Socialists of America mayor with Mamdani who wants
government-run grocery stores. You look at the platform that says
they want to take every illegal alien in the United
(23:35):
States of America and make them a United States citizen who,
of course, would then be eligible to vote, which just
shows you carte blanche. how the Democratic platform is to
allow illegal immigrants to come into the United States and
to become voters. We looked and highlighted how they're supporting
Palestine moving their capital to Jerusalem rather than standing with
our great ally, Israel. And the list goes on all
(23:58):
the way down the list. The Democrats don't want to
admit that their party has been hijacked by the Democratic
Socialists of America, but it is very clear with who
their leading contenders are from people like a o c
ever see that the lead command donnie or in my
home state of wisconsin where democratic socialist almost one the
democratic primary for governor in the state of wisconsin that
(24:19):
for the energy of our party is that's where their
activists are uh... in the democrats refused to actually call
it out and admit what's happening and denounce socialism when
given the opportunity now i see.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
That across the board and it's just stunning they just uh...
all in the excuses over the party of the big
tent Yeah, we're the big tent. Basically, what they're saying
is they don't have a platform other than more taxes,
more government, which is kind of this tired trope that
they always go back to. But they also lack leadership.
(24:51):
I mean, I wrote an op-ed for FoxNews.com a couple
months ago now and said, hey, they're really missing Nancy Pelosi.
Because Nancy Pelosi would actually keep some people in line.
She would come up with a message that, as a Republican,
a conservative, would drive a lot of people nuts. But
they were on the same page with the same talking points.
(25:11):
They were raising a boatload of money. But she's not
there anymore. So the DCCC, as they call it, the
Democratic Congressional Committee, committee, whatever it is, DCCC, they're not
raising any money. And their platform's just, you know, out
to sea. And then they see their real, they, the
(25:34):
leadership of the party to people that aren't even registered Democrats.
It's amazing to me.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's unbelievable where the democratic party has gone in such
a short period of time, but it really just shows
you how radicalized the leadership has been. Nancy Pelosi ruled
with an iron fist and Hakeem Jeffries has come in
as the minority leader and, But no one shows him
the respect that they did for Nancy Pelosi. They knew
Nancy Pelosi would get her way in the end. Hakeem
(26:02):
Jeffries has shown that he is also beholden to the
radical left, beholden to the Democratic Socialists, that at any
moment if they primaried him in an election in New
York City would likely be successful. It's the reason that
he led his team not to vote in favor of
the resolution that would denounce socialism. they are petrified of
(26:25):
a primary from their left flank because that's where the
energy is, in particular in New York City, but also
true in communities across the United States, whether or not
that's my state of Wisconsin, Minnesota next door, areas in California.
We see the Democratic Party continue to move to the left,
and it's why I think, as you noted, they're not
(26:45):
raising the money that they have. It's in part the
donor base that used to look and support the Democratic
base is absolutely petrified of what the Democratic Party has become.
And it's one of the things that we're going to
have to show in contrast at the convention in Dallas
next week is showing the contrast between the common-sense conservative
principles that we stand for and the crazy radical communist-type
(27:08):
principles that the Democratic Party supports.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, they are crazy radical positions. You had put out
the House Administration Committee, GOP.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It's at.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
if you're on X, at House Admin. But it is
truly stunning. 194 Democrats refuse to condemn socialism. They want
voting rights for the 12 plus million non-citizens, abolishing the
United States Senate, ranked choice voting in all elections. That's
(27:42):
got a lot of evil to it. They want to
seize powers of production, which they've talked about. They want
to abolish the border, abolish ICE, get rid of prisons,
no cashless bail, deal with the cashless bail issue in
a way that's not going to help make the world
more safe. And these are just some of the, oh,
(28:03):
they'll pack the Supreme Court. I mean, any one of
those issues is out of control, but this is a
laundry list of things they want to do, and somehow,
some way, People should believe them. This is not something
that is... They're actually campaigning on this.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
They're absolutely campaigning on this, and that's why on the
House floor I brought out the Democratic Socialists of America
manifesto and actually was reading from it and asked my
Democratic colleagues why they refused to not denounce it. As
you go through that document, it is bad idea after
bad idea. They want to release prisoners and defund police.
(28:43):
We talked about they don't want a border and they
want to make illegal immigrant citizens who are immediately eligible
to vote. The list goes on. It is a radicalized
platform that the modern Democratic Party refuses to denounce. It
is a cancer inside our political system and one that
we're going to have to defeat at the ballot box
this November.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Well, there's a chance to do that here. After Labor Day,
things get really serious. We're T-minus 60 days before the election.
Republicans gathering in, I believe, Dallas, right, for the so-called
midterm convention to rally up. And then President Trump will
be on the trail, city after city after city after city,
making the case for America, the positive things that the
(29:26):
administration has done, and why the Republicans should continue in control.
Because if you elect some of these crazy people, like
James Tallarico or El Sayed, or, you know, you keep
going down the list, our country's in real trouble. So
Brian Stile, who is the first congressional district of Wisconsin,
(29:46):
chairman of the Committee on House Admin, Subcommittee on Digital Assets,
Financial Technology, Artificial Intelligence. I mean, you got a full plate, brother.
Thank you so much for joining us on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I appreciate it. Have a great weekend. All right. Stay
with us. We're going to be right back. Lots more
to talk about.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Sean Hannity.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Got to give a quick shout-out to my friends at KNRS,
who broadcast the Sean Hannity Show. They also have a
great show themselves. Rod Arquette, Greg Hughes, The Rod and
Greg Show. They're on KNRS, kind of my hometown station
there in Utah. They're terrible golfers. They're horrific. They're bad.
They're not just bad. They're horrific. But it is fun
(31:09):
to play with them because they are smart. They are fun. But, man,
they're bad golfers. I... I want to highlight that we
are T minus 60 days to the election. Hard to
believe it's that close. But remember, with early voting, stuff
starts earlier. Now, I do not like early voting, but
if that's the rules of the road, you got to
(31:29):
do it. I wish if I could wave my magic wand,
everybody would vote same time, same place, same information in
person with a voter I.D. We used to do it
like that, but somehow we had to make it more easy,
more convenient. Oh, it's cheaper. That's never been the imperative
(31:50):
in my world. I think voter integrity is paramount. I
think we're missing something with our young kids and children
and the pause that we take maybe once a year
in our country to actually go out and vote. I
still remember my mom in particular, but my dad too,
bringing me into the voting booth standing in line, got
(32:12):
our neighbors there, have to show your ID, show them
your name on the voter roll. It takes too long.
I get it. But that was kind of the fun
of it because, you know, these are your neighbors, right?
Some you haven't seen in a long time. But then
somebody's there volunteering. My dad would volunteer and then they
would go and you'd go in the booth and they'd
(32:32):
close that little curtain and then they'd push the little
tab and And it became more of a tradition. Instead,
you just got the furniture and ice cream coupons coming
in the mail. You hope that the United States Postal Service,
which is notorious for its ability to deliver things, we
got a little crisis going on in Utah where hundreds
of people are saying they didn't even get their primary ballot.
(32:54):
You had an issue in Washington County, Utah where people
were submitting their ballots. They have to be sent to
Las Vegas, Nevada in order to come back and lots
of people didn't get their ballots didn't show up on time.
So don't tell me these things don't ever happen. Let's
all vote in person with a voter ID. But Those
rules have to be changed down the road. The reality
(33:15):
is if you're going to play, if you're going to participate,
which you got to do, then you actually have to
get out and get that ballot in there early. Now,
for me, I don't put it in the U.S. Postal Service.
I'm not doing that. I put it in one of
the dropboxes. and then verify that it actually arrived. So
no matter where you are in the country, just make
(33:38):
sure you do that. And I also think it's going
to be fascinating this year with the midterms because at
this point, it's kind of a jump ball. Democrats should
be dominating. It's just historical. History would say... The party
not in power would come sweeping back in. That pendulum swings.
Not this year, not with Donald Trump, not with the policies,
(33:58):
and not with the craziness that is today's Democratic Party.
So that'll be interesting to see where this goes. But
you know where it all depends on? It all depends
on who shows up. And who votes? The world is
run by those that show up. So you've got to
make sure, show up, participate, plan on it, do it,
make a difference, cast your ballot. That's what everybody should
(34:21):
be doing in order to make the difference that you want.
We've got a great hour coming up, some great guests.
Stay with us. I'm Jason Chaffetz. We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm watching AOC. She's saying, I was only kidding about
(00:31):
the things I used to say. But they'll go back
to those things.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We must pass my trans bill of rights. If Democrats
were able to take back the gavel in the House,
would you support impeaching Donald Trump?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
On day one, Peter.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I am so thankful that young activists have really drawn
the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
And it is on.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
On.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And so is the countdown.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
T-minus 60 days until election day.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Gonna play our guitars and sing.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You a country song.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
The new Sean Hannity Show. More behind-the-scenes information on breaking
news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Amazing 60 days out from the election day and pretty
much a jump ball at this point. We're going to
see what happens. But everybody predicted all the Democrats are
going to dominate. But you know what they've dominated? They
have dominated crazy drain. They have dominated in the wackiness
that is the socialist communist efforts that they have been
(01:51):
making the crazy policies and allowing people, you know, the
crazies to take over. And I don't think America is
going to put up with it. So this idea that, oh,
it's an off your election and Donald Trump's not on
the ballot.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, I think most of America's waking up saying this
is just not where we want to be. Then, you know,
who is at the top of the list, at least
this hour here on in the first part of September,
let's give the award to Danbury, Connecticut, Danbury, Connecticut voting for,
By a big vote, 18 to 2. Their city council,
(02:26):
that's a big city council, right? That's a lot of people.
18 to 2. What did they just do? They voted
to allow non-citizen residents to become police officers. So you
don't even have to be a citizen of the United
States of America. And in Danbury, Connecticut, they're going to
sign you up. What are they going to swear allegiance to?
(02:47):
I mean, seriously, what are they going to do? Danbury,
Connecticut has just approved the idea that they're going to
hire people to be police officers that are not Americans.
Those people should be arrested and deported. I guess ICE
is going to have to look at that and maybe
check the roles of the police officers in Danbury, Connecticut.
(03:09):
I would love to see ICE go and start arresting
Danbury police officers and say, oh, you're not even a citizen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You're headed back to wherever you came from. You know,
there are good Americans out there looking for good jobs,
and they're getting taken advantage of. How in the world?
18 to 2 was the vote. Democrats all voted for this,
of course. Even one so-called Republican. I don't know what
that guy's doing, but the two that were no's were Republicans.
(03:41):
But seriously, Danbury, Connecticut, non-citizens, unbelievable. Well, we got a
lot to talk about. There's a lot happening in America,
even though we're going into one of the great ends
of summer, Labor Day. But I'm thrilled to have on
Congressman Pat Fallon. He's Texas's fourth congressional district, served in
(04:02):
our United States Air Force. We thank him for that service.
He's also the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Well,
he wants to be that. Let's be honest. He wants
to be the next chairman of Oversight. I've been the
chairman of Oversight. A guy's highly qualified. And if you
aren't paying attention to what Pat Fallon's doing, then you're
missing what the future looks like. So, Pat Fallon, Congressman,
(04:25):
thanks so much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Chairman Jason, how are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Doing great. So what's your hot take? I know you
probably haven't had a chance to read it. Just came
across the wires. Danbury, Connecticut, allowing non-citizens to become police
officers in, I thought it was a great state of Connecticut,
but not so much.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Troubling, and I think you were very eloquent and articulate
with what you said. I mean, what do they swear
allegiance to? This is, to be a sworn peace officer,
it goes without saying you should be and need to
be an American citizen, first and foremost, because we hold
police officers and those in law enforcement, particularly those that
are sworn, to a higher standard. Just the same thing
(05:06):
we would do with the military. So I find it
interesting that they did this.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, it's crazy town as far as I'm concerned. I
want to talk about something, you know, with all the news,
the Clancy trial, all that kind of stuff going on.
Some of these other really important stories. Give credit to
the House. Give credit to Speaker Johnson because the House
was actually in session this week. The Senators are still,
you know, catching their breath from doing nothing. It's exhausting
(05:35):
doing nothing. And the Senate is still in recess, of course.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So, but.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
There was a really important thing you did in taking
on ActBlue and exposing that. Tell us, for those that
weren't following it moment by moment, blow by blow, what
are you finding with ActBlue?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We're finding that it's really essentially a money laundering organization
for the Democratic Party, and they're violating federal law, the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, over and over again,
it looks like, scores if not hundreds of times. So
let me give you an example. So what it does
is if somebody wants to go, it's supposed to be
(06:17):
act as a conduit. Say you're a liberal and you
want to give $ 100 and you're not really sure who,
you can go to ActBlue and you can donate to
that and then you specify the candidates you want the
money to go to. So they're trying to have us
believe that a lady like Elizabeth Waffle from Michigan, who's
88 years old, who's from reports, was living in a
(06:38):
trailer and had limited access didn't have a computer and
limited internet access, that she donated 15,000 separate times. Okay, Jason,
obviously that didn't happen. And by the way, you know
who said it didn't happen? Elizabeth Waffle said it didn't happen.
She did say that she'd gone on ActBlue and donated
a few times. In order for her to do 15,000,
(07:00):
she would have had to do over eight a day
every day for five years. How many people out there
think that that really happened? I mean, you've got to
be living in orbit around Neptune to believe that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And this is the thing, is there are case after case,
these are allegations that need to be proven out. We
understand all the caveats there. But, you know, this is
the type of thing that oversight needs to do. What
is the Department of Justice saying? What are their examples
out there? Because Some people say, oh, that never, ever happens. And,
you know, it's sort of like, oh, nobody ever votes illegally.
(07:34):
And then we keep hearing story after story after story.
Give us some more meat on the bones of what's
going on with ActBlue and the shady nature, maybe, of
some of these donations.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Sure. If it's ActBlue or WinRed, it doesn't matter. What
they should be doing is erring on the side of
caution rather than being hyper-aggressive. And there are a myriad
of reports that ActBlue was definitely throwing caution to the wind.
In fact, if you donated to ActBlue using PayPal, you
weren't even subject to their standard fraud prevention process through
(08:11):
SWIFT at all. It didn't marry up. You know the
little one, you order something online, you have to give
the three-digit code, that CVV on the back? They weren't
requiring that. They've admitted to scores of violations that they caught.
The problem was they were looking the other way. So
they were either being incredibly sloppy at the very definition
(08:34):
of unprofessional, or they were actually knowingly violating the law.
And that's what we have to find out. And like
you said, everything is allegedly at this point. But we
can tell you that their entire legal and compliance team
resigned or were fired or were on extended leave. after
the November 24 election by March of the next year.
We know that we've had five current and former employees
(09:00):
come in and testify in front of House committees. They've
all taken the fifth.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
They're board members, taking the fifth. There's one more next
week that will come by, taking the fifth. And if
you have done nothing wrong and you want to clear
your name, answer the questions. But they're all taking the fifth.
So they're acting highly suspicious, I would say.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
We're talking, of course, with Congressman Pat Fallon, great, you know,
fourth congressional district of Texas. A lot of nutty things there.
I got to shift gears a little bit. Let's talk
about James Tallarico, because you got a vegan-loving, believes Jesus
Christ is, you know, himself is non-binary, believes there are
(09:43):
six genders. I mean, It's hard to believe that this
guy is actually in this race, let alone the nominee,
and that people in Texas, of all places, are considering
voting for him. What else do you know about what's
going on with this race?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, I served in the Texas legislature. when Taylor Frico
became a state rep. And he is a great far-left,
woke liberal for Austin. He's terrible for Texas. Now, this
is the thing, Jason. When they run for the United
States Senate, particularly a state like Texas, All the candidates
(10:19):
then try to move the furniture, as Dick Morris used
to say, to the center. So they try and say, oh, no,
I wouldn't say things like that. But the problem with
Del Rico is he's on video. It's not just his voice, man.
It's him saying things like he wants to dismantle capitalism,
that he's uncomfortable with his whiteness, that he wants to
(10:40):
eviscerate the energy industry in Texas. Gas and oil wants
to eviscerate. Yes, he's a vegan because he doesn't want
to eat meat. So he's a vegan that loves barbecue now.
I mean, he's a complete phony. He's a snake oil salesman.
He's done nothing with his life. And as we chatted
about before, I would implore anyone, never vote for someone
that you wouldn't hire to work for you in the
(11:01):
private sector. Telefrico is completely and wholly incapable, and it
has no experience at all, no success, he can point to,
of doing anything in the private sector. So why would
you vote for him to help run one of the
largest economy histories ever known?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And this is the Democrats' problem from coast to coast,
is they have nominated people that are so foreign to
their own core beliefs. I mean, you see this, you
see it happening in Michigan, you see this happening in Maine,
now you see it happening in Texas. You got the
gubernatorial race, your colleague, my former colleague, Andy Biggs, running
(11:39):
for governor. of Arizona, where the sitting governor won't even debate,
like won't even sit in the same room as Andy Biggs.
Just a great man, good quality person, and would make
a great governor of Arizona. And then you have this telefrico,
as you call him. Any other anecdotes? I mean, you
(12:00):
served with him in the legislature.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, let me give you a perfect example. This is
kind of a no-brainer, right? So Texas doesn't have a
state of context. But, you know, you want to put...
You want to make sure it never happens because there
could be things that occurred that would be a perfect excuse.
So in 2019, I'm a senator and I filed a bill.
I want to ban the possibility of an income tax
(12:24):
ever in the future. And you need two-thirds of both chambers,
House and Senate. So I'm in the Senate until a
freak goes in the House. We need 100 votes out
of the 150. We get them because every Republican and
17 Democrats voted with us. We eventually got it in
the Senate. The governor signed the law. And then what happens...
You know, six months later, there's COVID, which could have
been a perfect excuse to implement an income tax. So
(12:45):
it couldn't have happened because we got to the voters
and they said, we agree, never again, never. James Tallarico
was on the side of the possibility of in the
future having a state income tax. That's what he does.
He will say anything. He says that the United States
flag is a complicated symbol. It's red, it's white, and
it's blue, and it represents the greatest country that has
ever been created. That's not a complicated symbol. This is
(13:09):
not somebody that reflects the virtues and the values of
the great citizens of the state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, that United States flag is one that's meant to
unite the United States of America, not be complicated. If
you can't figure out what the red, white, and blue
with the stars and stripes, what that actually means, probably
shouldn't be a United States senator. Let you go back
to your drawing room and go eat some celery and
try to figure out why why you're not getting enough
(13:38):
protein and, you know, why you can't figure out what
patriotism actually looks like. Pat Fallon, Congressman, Texas, doing some
great work uncovering and doing things with Dak Blue, doing
a lot of things with the Oversight Committee. Watch him
as part of the future there in running that committee
because there's so many things. There's always somebody doing something
(13:59):
stupid somewhere. So best of luck to you. Thank you
so much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Thanks, Jason. Yeah, tell if Rico can go and regurgitate
those celery sticks along with his Occupy Democrat talking points.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
There you go. Absolutely. Pat Fallon, stay with us. We'll
be right back.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
You know, now that the adults are back in office,
maybe we can get some work done around here.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Are you ready?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Welcome back, President Trump.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
There's always a lovely feeling associated with it. It's almost
like you pave over all the trauma with like puppy
dogs and ice cream. And the 80s was a brutal,
brutal time for people. It was a mess. And like,
you know, people forget that it was like, that was
a tremendous strife, sociopolitical tensions everywhere. You know, we're still
like pretty fresh off like a Cuban Missile Crisis, which
is only like, what, 15, 20 years before. So, you know,
(15:23):
it's a tumultuous period. But you look back at it
now and you're like, oh yeah, Top Gun, cocaine. Like, no,
it was like a really scary.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
There's Ryan Reynolds, the self-proclaimed pretty boy who is trying
to redefine history. What he's forgetting about is that coming
into 1978, 79, the heels of Jimmy Carter's administration, this
economy was in shambles. Our military was falling apart. There
was a malaise that was falling over the country. And
(15:54):
guess what happened? Then you had President Reagan come in.
It was morning in America. He got the economy moving
in the right direction. He was able to bring the
hostages back from Iran. The country started to thrive again.
And that Cold War that we had going on? Mr.
President or Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall. That was
(16:14):
Ronald Reagan. Those were the 1980s. And yeah, I understand
that the flock of seagulls and the other Thompson twins
and other bands that you probably didn't like at the time,
Duran Duran and MTV and all that, that was really
triggered you in the wrong direction. Heaven forbid that we
play Dire Straits or something like that. But you know what?
(16:36):
The 80s, kind of where I grew up, kind of
my high school years and stuff was actually a really
good time in America. So Ryan Reynolds may poo poo
it and may think that it was just like this awful,
awful time. And there was a lot of strife. But
we were coming out of a Democratic administration with Jimmy Carter,
who about destroyed this country militarily and with its. It's
(16:57):
democratic principles. And now he goes out and trashes it.
One of the most successful actors became super rich, still
hates this country, still hates Donald Trump, still doesn't think
it's good enough. But I get so tired of these
lectures from these self-proclaimed liberal celebrities that are out there saying, oh,
that was an awful time. Sorry, Ryan Reynolds. You know,
(17:20):
I kind of like your movies. I sort of laugh
at some stuff, but I get tired of hearing from
you opine on politics and whatnot if you had something
of substance to say where we maybe we could actually
have a dialogue and a discussion and then maybe we
could actually decide and talk about something that would be
you know we could actually have a discussion about but
(17:41):
you can't get from here to there that's my take
i'm jason chaffin stay with us more to come after the.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Break The Sean Hannity Show, a thermonuclear MMA assault on
(18:21):
fake news. Hannity's on right now.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Hey, this is Jason Chaffetz filling in for Sean Hannity.
Hope you can check me out at JasonInTheHouse. That's all
my social media. Should be able to spell JasonInTheHouse. Go
check me out there. And then also I got a podcast, JasonInTheHouse.
Go check it out. I made a big deal about Danbury, Connecticut.
allowing by a vote of 18 to 2 for non-citizens
(18:49):
to become police officers. Then I was reminded by Kim Coleman,
the Republican National Committee woman for the great state of Utah,
where I happen to reside. That's where home is. She
reminded me back in 2021, the Utah State Legislature and
Governor Spencer Cox, what'd they do? They approved. Non-citizens becoming
(19:10):
police officers in the state of Utah. Evidently, it's still
the law. Senate Bill 0102 from 2021. You don't have
to be a citizen to be a police officer in
the state of Utah. What the? That is just unbelievable. Please,
if you know of other municipalities, states, counties, whatever, I
want to hear about them because Somebody should make a
(19:31):
list of these. That is unbelievable to me. I think
one of the minimum requirements for somebody to become a
police officer and pledge allegiance to our country should be
that you're a citizen. Not that you got some other paperwork,
that you're a citizen of the United States of America.
My goodness, is that too much to ask? You should
(19:52):
be a citizen. That's the way it should go. But
thanks to Kim Coleman for actually bringing that up. We
got to move on, but it really did bother me here.
So we have Representative Brian Stiles. he's a chairman. He
chairs the Committee on House Administration, but he does a
(20:14):
lot of good work. He's from the 1st District of Wisconsin.
He joins us now on the Sean Hannity Show. Congressman, Chairman,
thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Jason, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
No, I truly appreciate it. I want to talk about,
I mean, there's so much we can talk about. First
of all, I applaud you. I applaud Speaker Johnson for
actually being in session this week, or the United States
Senate wasn't. Um, and, uh, there's gotta, you know, gotta
get a headstart on that labor day weekend. Um, cause
(20:46):
you know, didn't have time to pass the save America
act that was going to take too long. Uh, but
now they get to be on recess for three, almost
four weeks. Um, but I want to talk to you
about socialism, communism, um, because I ain't getting tired of
hearing these Democrats talk about, Oh, Donald Trump's a fascist.
(21:06):
I saw somebody the other day wearing a shirt. And
I said, wow, you're against fascism. I guess you're against
the Democratic platform at this point. Is that really what
you're against? Because they don't, I think, understand the definition
of what it is. But, you know, there was an
opportunity to express themselves. But you saw it up close
and personal. Tell us what happened there on the floor
(21:28):
in the House of Representatives and how that whole vote
and discussion and debate happened.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, Jason, as you know, this is not your grandfather's
Democratic Party anymore. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by
radical activists that are driving forward a socialist agenda, in particular,
the Democratic Socialists of America agenda, which is why we
brought forward a resolution this week to vote and denounce socialism,
(21:54):
to actually say, no, we do not support the federal
government gutting out election integrity. We don't want an open border.
We don't support their agenda. 192 Democrats rejected that resolution.
In other words, they're standing with the socialist agenda of
the Democratic Socialists of America, the most radical organization we
(22:16):
have seen in a long time in the United States
of America. And so the Democratic Party has shifted dramatically,
the radical activists have are driving the train, and the
few remaining rational actors on the Democratic side have effectively
surrendered to the radical left. And this is in particular
true as it relates to election integrity. These Democrats want
(22:38):
to remove the popular election of the president of the
United States and instead in Congress with even more power.
It shows you that Democrats want to concentrate more, and
it's the reason it's easy to vote socialism in, but
nearly impossible to remove it.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well, explain the debate. I mean, you're there on the floor.
You're paying attention. You're chairman. What are the arguments that
I mean, why was this so this this resolution?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's not binding, but there's an opportunity to express yourself.
What was the argument that these Democrats were making?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
The Democratic arguments are effectively putting their head in the
sand because they're absolutely petrified of the Democratic Socialists of America.
You look at the nation's largest city, New York, and
their Democratic Socialists of America mayor with Mamdani who wants
government-run grocery stores. You look at the platform that says
they want to take every illegal alien in the United
(23:35):
States of America and make them a United States citizen who,
of course, would then be eligible to vote, which just
shows you carte blanche. how the Democratic platform is to
allow illegal immigrants to come into the United States and
to become voters. We looked and highlighted how they're supporting
Palestine moving their capital to Jerusalem rather than standing with
our great ally, Israel. And the list goes on all
(23:58):
the way down the list. The Democrats don't want to
admit that their party has been hijacked by the Democratic
Socialists of America, but it is very clear with who
their leading contenders are from people like a o c
ever see that the lead command donnie or in my
home state of wisconsin where democratic socialist almost one the
democratic primary for governor in the state of wisconsin that
(24:19):
for the energy of our party is that's where their
activists are uh... in the democrats refused to actually call
it out and admit what's happening and denounce socialism when
given the opportunity now i see.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
That across the board and it's just stunning they just uh...
all in the excuses over the party of the big
tent Yeah, we're the big tent. Basically, what they're saying
is they don't have a platform other than more taxes,
more government, which is kind of this tired trope that
they always go back to. But they also lack leadership.
(24:51):
I mean, I wrote an op-ed for FoxNews.com a couple
months ago now and said, hey, they're really missing Nancy Pelosi.
Because Nancy Pelosi would actually keep some people in line.
She would come up with a message that, as a Republican,
a conservative, would drive a lot of people nuts. But
they were on the same page with the same talking points.
(25:11):
They were raising a boatload of money. But she's not
there anymore. So the DCCC, as they call it, the
Democratic Congressional Committee, committee, whatever it is, DCCC, they're not
raising any money. And their platform's just, you know, out
to sea. And then they see their real, they, the
(25:34):
leadership of the party to people that aren't even registered Democrats.
It's amazing to me.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's unbelievable where the democratic party has gone in such
a short period of time, but it really just shows
you how radicalized the leadership has been. Nancy Pelosi ruled
with an iron fist and Hakeem Jeffries has come in
as the minority leader and, But no one shows him
the respect that they did for Nancy Pelosi. They knew
Nancy Pelosi would get her way in the end. Hakeem
(26:02):
Jeffries has shown that he is also beholden to the
radical left, beholden to the Democratic Socialists, that at any
moment if they primaried him in an election in New
York City would likely be successful. It's the reason that
he led his team not to vote in favor of
the resolution that would denounce socialism. they are petrified of
(26:25):
a primary from their left flank because that's where the
energy is, in particular in New York City, but also
true in communities across the United States, whether or not
that's my state of Wisconsin, Minnesota next door, areas in California.
We see the Democratic Party continue to move to the left,
and it's why I think, as you noted, they're not
(26:45):
raising the money that they have. It's in part the
donor base that used to look and support the Democratic
base is absolutely petrified of what the Democratic Party has become.
And it's one of the things that we're going to
have to show in contrast at the convention in Dallas
next week is showing the contrast between the common-sense conservative
principles that we stand for and the crazy radical communist-type
(27:08):
principles that the Democratic Party supports.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, they are crazy radical positions. You had put out
the House Administration Committee, GOP.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It's at.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
if you're on X, at House Admin. But it is
truly stunning. 194 Democrats refuse to condemn socialism. They want
voting rights for the 12 plus million non-citizens, abolishing the
United States Senate, ranked choice voting in all elections. That's
(27:42):
got a lot of evil to it. They want to
seize powers of production, which they've talked about. They want
to abolish the border, abolish ICE, get rid of prisons,
no cashless bail, deal with the cashless bail issue in
a way that's not going to help make the world
more safe. And these are just some of the, oh,
(28:03):
they'll pack the Supreme Court. I mean, any one of
those issues is out of control, but this is a
laundry list of things they want to do, and somehow,
some way, People should believe them. This is not something
that is... They're actually campaigning on this.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
They're absolutely campaigning on this, and that's why on the
House floor I brought out the Democratic Socialists of America
manifesto and actually was reading from it and asked my
Democratic colleagues why they refused to not denounce it. As
you go through that document, it is bad idea after
bad idea. They want to release prisoners and defund police.
(28:43):
We talked about they don't want a border and they
want to make illegal immigrant citizens who are immediately eligible
to vote. The list goes on. It is a radicalized
platform that the modern Democratic Party refuses to denounce. It
is a cancer inside our political system and one that
we're going to have to defeat at the ballot box
this November.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Well, there's a chance to do that here. After Labor Day,
things get really serious. We're T-minus 60 days before the election.
Republicans gathering in, I believe, Dallas, right, for the so-called
midterm convention to rally up. And then President Trump will
be on the trail, city after city after city after city,
making the case for America, the positive things that the
(29:26):
administration has done, and why the Republicans should continue in control.
Because if you elect some of these crazy people, like
James Tallarico or El Sayed, or, you know, you keep
going down the list, our country's in real trouble. So
Brian Stile, who is the first congressional district of Wisconsin,
(29:46):
chairman of the Committee on House Admin, Subcommittee on Digital Assets,
Financial Technology, Artificial Intelligence. I mean, you got a full plate, brother.
Thank you so much for joining us on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I appreciate it. Have a great weekend. All right. Stay
with us. We're going to be right back. Lots more
to talk about.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Sean Hannity.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Got to give a quick shout-out to my friends at KNRS,
who broadcast the Sean Hannity Show. They also have a
great show themselves. Rod Arquette, Greg Hughes, The Rod and
Greg Show. They're on KNRS, kind of my hometown station
there in Utah. They're terrible golfers. They're horrific. They're bad.
They're not just bad. They're horrific. But it is fun
(31:09):
to play with them because they are smart. They are fun. But, man,
they're bad golfers. I... I want to highlight that we
are T minus 60 days to the election. Hard to
believe it's that close. But remember, with early voting, stuff
starts earlier. Now, I do not like early voting, but
if that's the rules of the road, you got to
(31:29):
do it. I wish if I could wave my magic wand,
everybody would vote same time, same place, same information in
person with a voter I.D. We used to do it
like that, but somehow we had to make it more easy,
more convenient. Oh, it's cheaper. That's never been the imperative
(31:50):
in my world. I think voter integrity is paramount. I
think we're missing something with our young kids and children
and the pause that we take maybe once a year
in our country to actually go out and vote. I
still remember my mom in particular, but my dad too,
bringing me into the voting booth standing in line, got
(32:12):
our neighbors there, have to show your ID, show them
your name on the voter roll. It takes too long.
I get it. But that was kind of the fun
of it because, you know, these are your neighbors, right?
Some you haven't seen in a long time. But then
somebody's there volunteering. My dad would volunteer and then they
would go and you'd go in the booth and they'd
(32:32):
close that little curtain and then they'd push the little
tab and And it became more of a tradition. Instead,
you just got the furniture and ice cream coupons coming
in the mail. You hope that the United States Postal Service,
which is notorious for its ability to deliver things, we
got a little crisis going on in Utah where hundreds
of people are saying they didn't even get their primary ballot.
(32:54):
You had an issue in Washington County, Utah where people
were submitting their ballots. They have to be sent to
Las Vegas, Nevada in order to come back and lots
of people didn't get their ballots didn't show up on time.
So don't tell me these things don't ever happen. Let's
all vote in person with a voter ID. But Those
rules have to be changed down the road. The reality
(33:15):
is if you're going to play, if you're going to participate,
which you got to do, then you actually have to
get out and get that ballot in there early. Now,
for me, I don't put it in the U.S. Postal Service.
I'm not doing that. I put it in one of
the dropboxes. and then verify that it actually arrived. So
no matter where you are in the country, just make
(33:38):
sure you do that. And I also think it's going
to be fascinating this year with the midterms because at
this point, it's kind of a jump ball. Democrats should
be dominating. It's just historical. History would say... The party
not in power would come sweeping back in. That pendulum swings.
Not this year, not with Donald Trump, not with the policies,
(33:58):
and not with the craziness that is today's Democratic Party.
So that'll be interesting to see where this goes. But
you know where it all depends on? It all depends
on who shows up. And who votes? The world is
run by those that show up. So you've got to
make sure, show up, participate, plan on it, do it,
make a difference, cast your ballot. That's what everybody should
(34:21):
be doing in order to make the difference that you want.
We've got a great hour coming up, some great guests.
Stay with us. I'm Jason Chaffetz. We'll be right back.
