The Cost of Illegal Immigration - November 15th, Hour 1
The cost of illegal immigration is unclear because the Biden administration isn't sharing information on the number of illegal immigrants. Congress has been pushing for these numbers and Health and Human Services won't share. Sean has the latest on this growing story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be tired.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Well, one thing we haven't agreed to is a ceasefire.
A ceasefire with Hamas means surrender to Hamas, surrender to terror.
There won't be a ceasefire without the release of the Israeli hostages.
And then do we go back to bombing?
No.
Four hours.
We don't want four hours.
We don't want 16 hours.
We don't want 22.
We want a ceasefire now.
So the situation at the border, you're saying is not a disaster.
That is correct.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
To your center.
Don't play our guitar and say new contract.

Alright, thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to barge, but here we go.
Literally now, they're calling Donald Trump 13 times over the weekend.
Tonight, straight from the source.
It's language that echoes that of Hitler and Mussolini, but tonight Donald Trump's campaign is defending how he called his political opponent vermin.
This isn't the first time Trump has been caught echoing the rhetoric of Nazis and white supremacists.
An ignorant person when warned that Hitler used to call it Vermin with Scott would stop, yeah.
Trump's turning up the volume.
And now we're going, we're just going full on Hitler talking about talking about vermin.
I mean, that is your media mob.
That's where their heads at.
I actually think their their psychotic hatred of Donald Trump and their derangement syndrome is such that probably a lot of them believe it.
That's how nuts they all are.
Um it is heartwarming to see finally um over 200,000 people, according to reports in the Times of Israel.
Uh, and we'll talk to David Shoney's on the ground in Washington today for us.
Uh, at this uh March for Israel that's ongoing even now.
Uh, you know, we've seen the pro-Palestinian pro Hamas rallies, you know, from the river to the sea, antifada, uh, you know, uh Australia, you know, gas the Jews, F the Jews, Europe, college campuses.
You know, it's invigorating.
It's you know, and all the crap that's set of college campuses.
So it is worth noting that at today's March for Israel, uh, I didn't see any flags being burned.
I didn't see any buildings being invaded.
No roads were being blocked by protesters.
Nobody's calling for a country's annihilation.
No Palestinians are being hunted down in the streets of D.C. today.
I think that pretty much tells you who the good guys are.
My interview with Israeli Prime Minister B.B. Netanyahu coming up as well.
We got a lot of disturbing, I mean, really disturbing stories on this front today.
So I begin my search and I start reading all the various online publications, including even the New York Times, even the New York Post, which I like a lot, the Washington Free Beacon I like a lot.
And these are four separate stories that came out today.
In the New York Post, the headline is Iran agents smeared foes, according to a report.
And they talk about this allegedly linked Iranian influencer.
Anyway, so it goes on to say an Iranian-born Pentagon aide who was revealed this year as being part of a years-long Tehran-backed influence operation also sought to undermine the leading group that is resisting the government of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a new report delivered by President Biden.
Now, his individual has retained her security clearance and position as chief of staff to the Pentagon's assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, uh, despite a semaphore report in September detailing her ties to senior Iranian foreign ministry officials.
Anyway, goes on to say that this person and the members of the Iran Experts Initiative were also engaged in a covert operation to smear the nation's lead Mujah El Kalak, uh, according to a recent report endorsed by the former vice president national security advisor Lincoln Bloomfield,
who is written for the uh written by University of Baltimore professor by seeking to neutralize favorable impressions of the MEK, Tehran sought to take down an entire an entity capable of aiding Western attempts to curtail the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program,
malign regional, it goes on, agenda aligned the regional agenda, human rights abuses, fundamental inclinations, etc.
I'm like, why is this person in our government?
Now, if you think that's bad, the New York Times, not exactly the best history with Israel.
But anyway, even they came out with an interesting article, and apparently hundreds of Biden administration members have now come out against Joe Biden's decision to offer support for Israel in their war for survival against the terrorist group, Hamas.
New York Times now reporting that during an October 23rd White House meeting to discuss the growing internal opposition to Israel's response to the October 7th massacre, some Biden staffers, quote, cried as they demanded the administration call for a ceasefire and curb weapons shipments to the Israeli government.
Let me read from the New York Times.
More than 400 political appointees and staff members representing 40 government agencies sent a letter to President Biden today protesting his support for Israel in their war in Gaza.
The letter, which is part of a growing internal dissent over the administration's support of the war, calls for the president to seek an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and to push Israel, Israel to allow humanitarian aid into the territory.
The latest of several protest letters from officials throughout the Biden administration, including three internal memos to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken signed by dozens of State Department employees, as well as an open letter signed by more than a thousand employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
I mean, if we have people, this number of people in our government that don't can't figure out that don't have the moral clarity to figure out who the victim is here, We've got a problem.
Some of the people signing this helped Biden get elected in 2020.
The letters of protest come after a contentious meeting.
This one October the 23rd at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Seven 70 Muslim Arab political appointees gathered with senior Biden administration officials, including his chief of staff, uh and Kamala Harris's husband.
The meeting started with a general question.
How many of the appointees have faced pressure from family or friends to resign over the Biden administration support of Israel?
Dozens of hands apparently shot up, according to one attendee, and another was briefed about the meeting, and then senior administration officials opened the floor to take questions and comments, and some attendees cried demanding the administration called for a ceasefire.
They just killed 1,400 Israelis and took a couple of hundred hostage.
This was an unwanted, unprovoked attack against Israel.
Which, by the way, all these rockets fired out of Gaza and out of Lebanon and by Hamas and Hezbollah.
That's all it's ever been.
Now it gets worse.
I go to the Washington Free Beacon.
The Biden administration is funding apparently some mosques that call for the annihilation of Israel from the Free Beacon.
Let me read to you.
A federal program to help nonprofit groups protect against terrorist attacks has given millions of dollars to mosques and Islamic groups that have praised terrorists and call for the destruction of Israel, according to a Washington Free Beacon Review.
The report goes on to say the Department of Homeland Security, for example, awarded a California-based mosque a hundred thousand dollars on March the 9th under a nonprofit security grant program, and the Imam at that mosque earlier this year called Jews a bigoted and arrogant breed of people and prayed they will quote be annihilated.
Why is your tax dollars going to this guy, this Imam, this mosque in a war over the holy land?
Then there's the Islamic Center in Detroit, the article goes on.
They received 150 grand October 12, 2022.
Now their head imam said at a pro-Palestinian rally days after Hamas' invasion of Israel that Muslims have a quote fire in our hearts that will burn that state until its demise.
During the sermon in March, he referred to, quote, the sick, disgusting Zionist regime and prayed, may Allah eradicate them from existence.
Also grants to outfits, they report, the Islamic Center in San Diego.
The Free Beacon goes on.
This is a mosque known best as the home to the two 9-11 hijackers.
And days after the October 7th attack by Hamas, the Imam there defended the unprovoked attack on Israel as an act of self-defense.
When people are occupied, they're not occupied.
Let me start start stop right there.
Then it goes on the resistance is justified.
We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist.
Nobody was fighting for their life on October 7th.
He had a bunch of kids at a concert near the border with Gaza in Israel, in their own country, and they just were mowed down and slaughtered.
And many of them raped and many beheaded.
So Joe Biden is giving your tax dollars to a mosque that inspired two of the 9-11 hijackers.
Does it get any more twisted and sick than that?
You want to know why Joe Biden is now putting all this pressure on Israel not to fight their war for their own survival?
Because he's got all these lunatics, not only in the country, in the left wing of this country, but he's got them working in varying agencies within the federal government.
Let me go back to another Washington Free Beacon story.
You can't make this up.
Joe Biden is now considering relaxing sanctions against Iran.
Again, you know, he's already done it once, tried to do it the second time.
And this time, by the way, we're talking about the number one state sponsor Of terror.
Why is Joe Biden so hellbent on bankrolling a country that is that is trying to wipe an innocent country off the face of the earth?
From the free beacon, the Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver today that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq, according to a closely watched decision that comes just a month after they to after the Tehran backed terror through Hamas, you know, killed 1,400 Israelis.
The waiver would extend the multi-billion dollar sanctions release, first issued in July that expires tomorrow.
It allows Iraq to transfer frozen electricity payments into Iranian owned bank accounts in Europe and Oman.
The waiver renewal is driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues, but Tehran, as the country's terrorist proxies are fomenting terror all across the Middle East.
The Biden administration is still insisting that like the six billion in in cutter that is being held in a bank that was transferred from South Korea, that they said they had a secret deal that nobody's ever seen to prevent them from getting the money.
The Iranian mullahs are saying, no, we're gonna get our hands on that money, and Joe knows it.
And we're gonna spend it any way we want.
And not necessarily for humanitarian anything.
But anyway, Iran can only use the 10 billion for what?
Non-sanctioned purposes.
Do you actually trust the mullahs in Iran?
I mean, these four stories all came out today from the New York Post, two from the Washington Free Beacon, and even one from the New York Times.
You want to talk about having a moral compass that is just twisted and just wrong on every front?
Because that's what this is.
The only thing I'm taking heart with today is you've got hundreds of thousands of people, you know, protesting in a march for Israel in Washington, D.C., which frankly is needed.
I'm I'm getting a little sick and tired of hearing the from the river to the sea and calls for antifada and calls for you know the death of the destruction of Israel that has been going on not just in on college campuses in New York City, in cities all across the country, you know, in the in the halls of Congress in all of Europe and Australia.
I'm sick of all of it.

I don't know, Linda, what's going on in the with the water in DC?
He had one example today of Oklahoma Republican Senator uh Mark Wayne Mullen.
Um, I'm not I'm I'm familiar with him, but I don't really know him that well.
We has he been on the program?
I don't remember.
He has, yeah.
He's been on the show.
Okay.
We I think we like him.
Good guy.
Anyway.
We like him a lot.
Yeah, he's great.
So he was testifying before Senate committee earlier today.
And anyway, the a tweet apparently insulted the U.S. Senator and challenged him to a fight to which Mullen responded they could fight right here, right now.
And during the Senate committee hearing, Mullen read the Teamster boss Sean O'Brien's tweet that said he'd take Mullen any place and any time, any place.
Mullen stood up and began taking off the ring from his finger.
Bernie Sanders, could you imagine Bernie Sanders stepping into this?
Bernie King.
He called for order, told them to sit down, quit the tough guy act in the Senate hearings.
You know where to find me, any place, any time, Cowboy Mullen said, uh, reading the tweet directed at him.
Uh, sir, this is the time.
This is the place.
You want to run your mouth?
We can be two consenting adults.
We can finish it right here, Mullen said.
Well, that's fine with me, said O'Brien in response.
You want to do it right?
You want to do it right now.
I'd love to do it right now, O'Brien responds.
Well, stand your butt up, then, Mullen said.
You stand your butt up, O'Brien's.
I don't even know what to think of this.
Like high school.
Maybe maybe it's more like kindergarten.
Uh, sit down.
You're a United States Senator.
Didn't have an you know the crotchety old cranky old, you know, communist, uh, Bernie Sanders is the peacemaker.
You gotta laugh.
Then there's this weird, although I talked to I'm getting various stories on this.
Representative Tim Burchette of Tennessee is claiming that former House Speaker McCarthy shoved him while his back was turned.
And anyway, apparently an MPR correspondent first reported the uh encounter on on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying it happened when she spoke with Burchette after the GOP's conference meeting uh earlier today, and Burchette was one of the House Republicans that supported the push to Ouse McCarthy.
His speaker, uh McCarthy struck at him, which led to an intense encounter.
Anyway, then and he's all over fake news CNN after the incident, saying the account is very accurate.
He elbowed me in the back, which he described as a clean shot at the kidneys.
How is the back a clean shot at the kidneys?
I don't know.
Well, maybe a lower back.
Anyway, I turned uh back and there was Kevin.
I was kind of like, what the heck happened?
I chased after him.
And as I stated many times, he's a bully with uh 17 million dollars and a security detail.
He's the type of Jim is the type of guy that when you're a kid that he throw a rock over the fence and run home and hide it behind his mama's skirt.
This is Washington.
This is I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Uh the Vermin remarks in context that Donald Trump made that has now caused the media to constantly now compare him to Adolf Hitler, uh, is in his speech.
He wrote, We will root out the communists, the Marxists, the fascists, the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, and the threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within, he said.
The great silent majority is rising like never before, and under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer.
You're gonna be forgotten no longer.
With your help, your love, and your vote, we will put America first.
And today, especially in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible.
They'll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream.
The real threat is not from the radical right.
The real threat is from the radical left, and it's growing every day, every single day.
I mean, I I how before what happened on October 7th.
You know, didn't people get in trouble for the overuse of Nazi analogies?
Correct me if I'm wrong, Linda.
Didn't that didn't that wasn't that shunned upon?
Yeah, for sure.
Okay, so now 13 times because of that comment, they're gonna say, oh, he's Adolf Hitler.
Unbelievable.
Well, I mean, listen, it furthers their narrative and not theirs.
And obviously, anybody, it's like you and I talk about all the time.
In 2014, we had the conservative solution caucus, and in 2023, we need the common sense solution caucus because all you need to do is open your eyeballs.
Communism and socialism is all run you.
It sure as hell isn't coming from the right.
It's coming from the left all day, every day.
You know, I've been talking about the cost of illegal immigrants.
You know, I actually did a little bit deeper dive than what I told everybody yesterday.
We have a new congressional study in their estimate that the cost of all the illegal immigrants that entered this country.
It's estimated now between Gotta ways and those that we have been able to count.
Although I will say this, the Biden administration will not tell Congress how many criminal illegals it is allowed into the country.
This was in the Washington Times, the Health and Human Services Department.
They're just simply refusing to share with Congress case files on illegal immigrants that have been charged with crimes, now forcing the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan to threaten a subpoena to pry loose the information.
I mean, this is what they have been doing to the House Ways and Means Committee's investigation, Jason Smith.
This is what they've been doing with the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the Biden family syndicate with James Comer.
This is what they've been doing to Jim Jordan on judiciary.
You know, they make it hard to find anything, and you have to fight for everything.
Anyway, Health and Human Services, they're responsible for detaining illegal immigrant juveniles who jumped the border without a parent, so-called unaccompanied alien children or UACs.
That number under President Biden has shattered all previous records.
And Congressman Jordan has been trying to get the HHS to reveal how it makes decisions on releasing these illegal immigrants into communities.
And by the way, that's their job of oversight.
And those questions have taken on new urgency.
Why?
Because of a massive crime spree of murder and assault laid at the feet of UACs that the HHS released.
And the department shot down repeated requests by Congressman Jordan, Congressman uh McClintock.
And uh HHS's refusal to provide basic information pursuant to the committee's request is wholly unacceptable.
Appears to be part of a concerted effort to obstruct congressional oversight into their deficiencies, and the GOP lawmakers wrote in this letter obtained by the Washington Times, and they warn, please be advised the committee may be forced to resort to compulsory process if these requests remains outstanding.
They're forcing them to go to court on everything.
That's their strategy.
And by the way, a new congressional study, as I said, estimating the cost of all illegal immigrants, about eight million now under Joe Biden, if you include Gotta ways, and we have no idea that the hundred the hundred the thousands and thousands from the Middle East, you know, the tens of thousands from China and Russia.
Yeah, well, guess what?
Since Joe Biden became president, we're now paying for all of his illegal immigrants 451 billion dollars a year.
That's every year's annual total.
In other words, you, the American taxpayer, will be shelling out an additional 451 billion next year.
Now, we already have hit the tipping point where on our budget, interest on the debt is now before before the government pays one Social Security check, pays one Medicare payment or VA payment, they have to spend one trillion dollars just to service all the debt on the what, thirty-six trillion, thirty-five trillion dollars that they've taken on, two trillion more than last year.
And now the New York Post followed up on this.
Americans could pay up to four hundred and fifty-one billion annually for illegal immigrants that would have been let in since Joe Biden became president.
You know, compiled from federal state records, media reports, public information.
The 50-page document outlines the taxpayer costs incurred.
We're talking about medical care, housing, education, other welfare benefits to all of these millions of illegal immigrants.
But they won't tell us how many illegals that they've allowed into the country.
Now, you know, President Trump has a plan.
It begins back in office, and that is to deport the millions of illegal immigrants that Joe Biden has allowed into the country.
How we first of all, we haven't vetted any of them.
I don't even think we'll be able to find them if you want to know the truth.
But now we're paying 451 billion.
And you could tell the New York Times hates Trump's plan.
By the way, they covered it over the weekend, despite the Times, you know, hostile rhetoric.
I I think the idea that somebody has a plan to reverse the single most dangerous national security, clear and present danger that Joe Biden, his policy has put on this country on top of the cost associated with it.
But President Trump, according to the New York Times, is planning an expansion of his first term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power.
You know, and he's going to detain people and he's going to expel people.
What are we supposed to do with all this?
You have sprawling camps.
It, you know, every state now is a border state.
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, now under investigation, by the way, has set up one in Brooklyn to house Biden's illegal immigrants.
They're not coming from Governor Abbott.
That's maybe 13% of New York's total.
87% are coming from Joe Biden, flying them into New York.
Democrats were successful in their effort to block an effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary, the big liar that he is Mayorcus.
The border secure.
The border is closed.
No, it's not.
New York City, they had to spend 20.8 million dollars on tent shelters.
I don't think that's going to last very long.
I really don't.
I mean, that's a lot of money.
And how are you going to pay for it?
And the economy's in a has been in nothing but a tailspin.
I'm I'm just telling you right now, you better be.
I hope all of you are in the position to prepare for, you know, to put a rainy day fund to make it as big as you can possibly make it.
And I know that's hard to ask people to do when you have nearly two-thirds of the country living paycheck to paycheck.
How do you do that?
Pretty unbelievable.
Oh, they did find, as we mentioned yesterday, the bag of uh cocaine in the locker at the White House.
They spent 10 whopping days investigating this.
Now, Linda, correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't they often mix fentanyl in with cocaine?
They usually mix fentanyl uh with a lot of different drugs.
It's more found least on pills and in meth.
All right, pills.
But it can be in cocaine, sure.
It's and and heroin.
Very popular in heroin, you're right.
It's a chase her.
Okay.
All right.
So now, we don't know.
We I I assume maybe they tested for fentanyl, but but that bag of powder could have been fentanyl.
Could it not have?
Of course.
Could have been anything.
And and haven't we covered stories of police officers that just pick up a bag of drugs?
And the next thing you know is their, you know, other fellow police officers are saving their life with Narcan because even the smallest ingestion of fentanyl, you know, is sending them into cardiac arrest.
That's a great assault.
It will knock you dead.
And they spent only 10 days.
Now, why does it be a good thing?
Well, you don't have to look that hard when you already know the answer, right?
Well, I know who I would suspect, but you know, I'm just I don't want to be able to do that.
They don't suspect anything they know.
They just can't figure out who it is.
We're gonna let it go.
What if it was anthrax?
Does that am I like the only person in the country, a conservative, that think Joe that thinks Joe Biden is the worst president in the in the in history?
Oh definitely up there.
And I'm the one saying we've got to protect our president from anthrax from fentanyl from drugs being brought into the White House.
Am I the only one that seems to care about how dangerous that is?
I guess so.
And by the way, thank thank God the Secret Service was there guarding his granddaughter.
Hear about this carjacking that took place, and one of the Secret Service agents had to open fire on this.
Horrible.
I mean, you have to protect elected politicians.
But what happens to the regular people?
Where we we have to protect ourselves.
I mean, they're getting carjacked all over these blue cities where they're not allowed to protect themselves.
It's ridiculous.
That's true.
But that's why burner, the non-lethal alternative, can certainly be an option if people don't have any other means of protection.
You know, I believe in the second amendment, but I also like my non-lethal option, which is burner B Y R N A.com if you want to take a look at it.
I love by the way I got my new mission four rifle.
Oh, love it.
I bought one for Sensei and I bought one for my doctor buddy, you know who.
And don't forget, you know, you can get your 12 gauge uh bullets.
Check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can just put it in your own 12 gauge.
And it, I mean, it's powerful.
It's really good.
You know, little things make a difference.
A little note a smile, whatever it happens to be.
David beating Goliath.
Okay.
With the issue of abortion, am I right when I say it's a heart issue?
Especially when you look at 55% of abortions today are done with a pill.
All right.
So there are groups out there that are helping expecting moms with pretty much everything they need.
They start with offering free 4D ultrasounds to introduce expecting moms to the miracle that's growing inside them.
And what they're discovering is is when expecting moms and even some that have been considering abortion are introduced to and can hear a heart beating or maybe see facial features or be able to count fingers and toes when they're introduced to the miracle of birth that they usually choose uh life.
And this great mission is going forward.
They're saving about 200 lives a day at preborn.com slash Sean.
They don't get a penny from the federal government like Planned Parenthood, not one cent.
And the only way they continue is through the generosity of people in the pro-life community, people that believe in the sanctity of life.
There are two ways you can donate.
One is by picking up your cell phone and dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby, or just go to their website, preborn.com slash Sean S E A N. They desperately need help.
They also offer free counseling.
After babies are born, they offer other services like diapers and formula if if moms need it, whatever they need.
I mean, it's 100% charity rating.
You, by the way, it's all tax deductible.
That's pound 250, keyword baby preborn.com slash Sean S E A N. Hill.

Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
