Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
We went from Walter Cronkite, basically, to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.
You have to be pithy.
What do I mean by pithy?
How about this?
Republicans want to kill your kids.
It's actually true.
And there are zillions of new websites now trying to advance their sort of conservative to right-wing radical cause.
And a lot of times we're not playing on the same field.
Freedom is back in style.
A revolution.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour toll-free on numbers 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I mean, we had unbelievable reports and testimony that have come out just in the last two weeks about how bad border security has been and how badly we've been lied to.
And the worst part of what these investigations are showing is about the treatment of minors and children and people being brought into sex trafficking and Joe and Kamala and the horrific job they've done monitoring even young children that are in this country.
Some people, by the way, brought in by strangers.
They think it's easier to get into the country and cross the border if they have a young child with them and they use strangers.
I mean, it's just the whole thing is horrible.
What they're doing is horrible.
And then we find out that they are placing some of these minors in homes.
You know, in some cases, they're putting 18 kids in one home.
In some cases, they're putting them in homes with people that are on welfare and on government assistance.
In one case, and I'm not making this up, the Health and Human Services Secretary actually couldn't answer this question, but it is pretty unbelievable to me.
And that would be Secretary Becerra.
He actually couldn't give an answer why unaccompanied children had sponsors and the address was a strip club.
Listen to this.
Are you familiar that in that report, it revealed that children were pimped out by their aunt, which it turns out the aunt wasn't even related to the child, the so-called aunt.
Are you familiar with that story that was in there?
There are a number of incidents that are reported in that Florida report.
Some of them I can probably recall better than others.
Some of them I would challenge and dispute, but that one I don't remember.
And do you remember the teenage girl that was in a house with unknown men with no private bedroom for her?
Are you familiar with the sponsors that utilize a strip club in Jacksonville as an address for where a child should be settled?
Congresson, as I said, I don't have the information on that Florida grand jury report in front of me.
I certainly can go back and take a look at it and try to get back to you.
I mean, he could not explain, as Representative Tom Tiffany there was asking, could not explain why he allowed them to basically be pimped out by individuals with no family ties to them.
It is a sickening failure by the Harris Biden administration as it relates to the border and everything else relating to the border.
And I'm telling you, we're going to continue to pay the price for their wide open border policies for years to come, no matter how good a job Tom Holman does.
And I know he'll do a great job, but we will pay a price.
We have known terrorists, cartels, gang members in the country, murderers, rapists, violent criminals.
And you get all these Sanctuary City governors and mayors and congressmen and congresswomen and senators.
They're all out there.
They care more about the, quote, rights.
Although illegal immigrants, by definition, don't have rights.
You have to be a citizen to get the benefit of rights.
Now, that doesn't mean we should treat them poorly.
And if they did nothing wrong except come into the country illegally, you broke the law.
You didn't respect our borders.
Our laws are sovereignty.
Okay, you get sent home.
You pay a price for committing a crime.
But those people that commit crimes, I think the killer in Lake and Riley's case should have gotten the death penalty.
Anyway, back to Health and Human Services Secretary Becerra.
And he actually says, well, we do best, you know, the best we can when asked by Congressman Tom Tiffany if he changed anything from the past four years because they lost track of over 325,000 unaccompanied children.
Listen.
Would you change anything that you've done in the last four years with 320,000 children unaccounted for by your administration?
We work tirelessly to strengthen and improve the program of the UC, the unaccompanied children that come before us.
And we work really hard to make sure we, first and foremost, protect the safety and the well-being of those kids.
Every day is a challenge, and we do the best we can.
So they changed nothing.
A massive failure on every level.
They changed nothing.
Now, there was other testimony at this hearing, and one, Tara Rodas is her name, who's going to join us in a second here, former deputy to the director of the federal case management team at HHS.
She and our own Sarah Carter, she will also join us, have worked together to bring awareness and fight back against the evils happening to these kids every single day.
And they've been working to find these 320,000 kids.
And here she is on Capitol Hill, you know, as a whistleblower from the Department of Health and Human Services and saying that she joined Biden and his administration to help with the border crisis and found its family separation program.
Listen.
Ags, tarot were there all along, yet HHS just seemed to ignore them.
Yes, yes, they did.
And what's shocking is that trafficking has been going on in this program since 2013 and 2014.
Children were lured.
Now, I didn't know that when I raised my hand to help the Biden administration with this border crisis, I thought I was going to do puzzles and play games with children.
I was told this was a family reunification program.
That's not what's happening at all.
The children told us they're being lured away from their families.
This is a family separation program.
These children are brought here to the United States and carelessly turn over to MS-13, 18 Street Gang, other transnational criminal organizations.
This is appalling.
Wow.
What testimony?
Let me continue.
She warns these migrant children as young as eight years old are being trafficked for sex under the Biden administration.
Again, an HHS whistleblower.
Children, boys, and girls are being sold for sex.
Just last month, I spoke with a care provider in Florida who told me about cases of migrant children as young as eight with sexually transmitted diseases.
Eight years old.
Last week, I spoke with a private investigator in Texas who shared challenges trying to find an emergency shelter.
For this one girl, she's only 12, an unaccompanied minor who was nine months pregnant and about to go into labor.
How did we get here?
How did we get here?
We're very lucky to have Tara Rodas with us, who is the HHS whistleblower, along with investigative reporter, Fox News correspondent, our friend Sarah Carter, who has reported a lot from the border for us.
First of all, Tara, thank you for shedding light on this.
I mean, I was taking notes as you were saying this.
I mean, the family separation, it's like they're careless in what they're doing here.
And they're reckless, and they don't seem to care at all.
How is that even possible?
How do you not know where 320,000 kids are?
Well, you don't know where 320,000 children are if you have failed policies and failed policymakers.
And that's a hard truth to accept, but it's true.
This program that is a nearly $7 billion program gets an F.
They have failed.
HHS has lost control of their program to the gangs and the cartels because they would not submit to oversight, transparency, and accountability.
It is astonishing.
That's all I can say.
It is absolutely astonishing.
And it's so sad for these children.
We must do right by the kids.
We need to rescue these children and prosecute the people who are harming them.
Do you think it's possible?
I mean, do we have any leads as to where they might be?
Well, interestingly, we do have the last known address where the child was supposed to go.
HHS has the...
Wait a minute.
Was that the strip club that they used in the one case?
Well...
Well, it would be.
And they also have the address of MS-13 and other unsavory characters.
And it's unthinkable that this Secretary Besetta is withholding critical data and information.
He's been stonewalling, stonewalling the Senate, stonewalling Homeland Security investigations who's trying to find the children, even stonewalling subpoenas.
They will not fully comply.
They won't give anyone access to the data that could save the children.
I can't imagine anything more horrible.
You know, Sarah, you have been on the road for us many, many times down by the border.
And one report in particular sticks in my mind, but there were many reports that you had about children and how gangs and cartels and traffickers were raping these young children on the way, making the journey to the United States, that perilous journey.
And it was happening with regularity.
And you saw it often.
And you met these kids and you were horrified by this evil.
Explain to people exactly what you learned.
Look, everything that Tara is saying, and thank God for a whistleblower like Tara Rotas, who came forward and others who came forward to expose what Javier Becera, what President Biden, what Vice President Kamala Harris allowed to happen.
Because, you know, Tara's right.
But it's not just failed policy.
It's purposeful policy, Sean.
They were trafficking children.
Our government, trafficking children into the United States.
They allowed these children to come in.
They sent them off to people that were not their proper guardians.
These children are lost in our system, 325,000 plus of them.
And I have seen it with my own eyes.
I've been down at the border where I have interviewed.
I speak Spanish fluently.
I've spoken to young girls who have been violated or they said they've been violada.
They've been violated by a man or by somebody who trafficked them.
Then I have to go up to Border Patrol and say, could you please send her to a medical facility?
She's only 12.
She's only 13.
Or in one case, and I think you were referring to that when we were talking, was that young boy, six, seven years old, who said he had a number for his mother, he believed, but hadn't seen her since he was two years old, hadn't seen his own mother and was being trafficked into our country with a 13-year-old boy and some older men that were not related to him.
And we were going to release him into the hands of guardians that were most likely going to use these children for God only knows what.
And they can't even track them.
And right now, these reports that Tara Rotas is referring to and the information that she was able to hand deliver, hand deliver to Congress shows that tens of thousands of children who were the responsibility of the ORR and HHS, Health and Human Services, have been let go into our country into situations where they've traced it.
Homes that have been abandoned.
So they go to the house to check on the child.
You try to find the child.
You can't find him because the home's abandoned.
Another place, a strip club.
Another place, an apartment complex with one apartment, with one bedroom, with 20 children being delivered.
We need to find these children.
I spoke with Tom Homan just this week.
And the number one priority, he said, among removing criminals from this country under the Trump administration will be to locate and find these children.
It has to be a priority of the United States government.
We allowed them to come here.
We enabled, we enabled human traffickers and drug cartels.
We gave them our taxpayer dollars because we helped traffic these children for them into the United States.
It is absolutely unacceptable.
It is criminal.
And this is the reason why Tara and I have been so adamant in speaking publicly about this for years now.
I think in the beginning, nobody believed that this was possible.
They thought this just can't be possible.
Well, why wouldn't they believe it?
You were on my TV show, and on more than one occasion, if memory serves me well, you were showing bloody underwear of young children that had been raped along the way as they were being trafficked into the United States.
So why wouldn't people believe it?
You spoke to some of these young children.
You spoke to adults that saw this.
It's hard for people to imagine that kind of evil.
I've traveled to El Salvador, Sean, where I've spoken to smugglers who could no longer keep their mouths shut because they were no longer smuggling adults.
They were smuggling children that were coming from the mountains of Guatemala, from Nicaragua, from all over the world, and bringing them into Mexico.
Those children would disappear even before they reached our border.
I spoke to smugglers who said that some of the children were being used for organ harvesting.
Some of these children were being delivered into the hands of predators.
And I'm going to tell you this, the responsibility is on us and our government, when they use our taxpayer dollars to move these children into the United States at the tune of $7 billion Under these bureaucracies that have done little or nothing to track these children.
It's unbelievable.
It really is unreal.
Stay right there.
We're going to come back.
Health and Human Services whistleblower Tara Rodos is with us right now.
We'll continue with her, more with Sarah Carter on the other side.
Then we'll get to your calls.
I did promise Linda we'd play God Bless the USA in the final half hour.
But I want to hear more about this.
America needs to be made aware.
How do you lose 320,000 children?
How is that even possible?
Why is the press not jumping up and down?
Why is legacy media covering this up?
There's no answer to these questions.
It's insane.
And we've got to get to the bottom of it.
I wanted to hold over for a few more minutes.
We have Tara Rodos is with us, Health and Human Services whistleblower.
Sarah Carter from Fox News, our correspondent is with us, who spent a lot of time down at the border.
Tara, what else did you tell this committee in terms of the 320,000 unaccompanied minors, children, that have gone missing under the Harris Biden administration?
They have no idea where these kids are.
What else did you tell them?
And were there any repercussions for you becoming a whistleblower?
Well, Sean, thank you so much.
First, yes, there were repercussions.
They did not like that I revealed that one of their sponsors was MS-13.
And so they threatened me with investigation.
They did what's called the perp walk, where they, in front of your peers, have you pack up your area and they escort you off the facility and take your badge.
And that's exactly what they did to me.
So they perp walked me off the site, which was not a fun experience, but I would absolutely do it again.
And if there are any whistleblowers out there, you stand up and you speak the truth, come what may.
So what else did I tell the committee is, you know, I told them that we absolutely, our goals must be to rescue children, prosecute traffickers, and dismantle trafficking infrastructure.
And that the way we're going to do this, the system's broken, there's no doubt, Sean, it is broken.
However, we have a new administration coming in, and this new administration absolutely can fix this problem.
And the thing that we must do, and Sarah has had the chance to talk to Tom about this, but we need to designate child trafficking as a terrorist activity.
Absolutely, that's what we need to do.
This is going to unlock critical counterterrorism tools.
This is going to expand our intelligence collection.
It's going to allow the interagency collaboration that we have to have to solve this problem.
And it's going to be pretty interesting because they can also levy financial sanctions that would help dismantle trafficking infrastructure.
But we have to treat these criminals like they deserve to be treated.
That's all I can say.
We have to mobilize our national security and our intelligence and our law enforcement communities to dismantle this criminal activity that this administration has allowed to thrive.
You know, one thing we're very fortunate, Sarah and I, we have great relationships with people like Tom Holman.
We know President Trump.
We know Mark Morgan.
We know a lot of these people that have been warning us for years that all of this is going on.
And Harris and Biden have done nothing but allow this to happen.
They've aided and abetted in the lawbreaking.
Sarah, we'll give you the last word, but I feel very confident that Tom Holman will get to the bottom of it and the president will get to the bottom of it.
Yes, I'm absolutely certain, Sean.
I feel very blessed to know the same people.
We've all discussed this with them.
I think we're all on a mission to save not only our children's lives, and that's American children affected by this open border catastrophe, but the children from all around the world that have been trafficked into our nation and have been abused and have been lost in our system.
I want to be able to share this number if you're okay with that, Sean.
It's with Health and Human Services and Office of Refugee Resettlement.
For any children or teenagers, anybody out there that can get access to a phone, if you're being held captive, if you are being kept from proper guardians, if you are working in an underage situation where you cannot escape or you're under slave labor, please call 1-800-230.
I'm sorry, 1-800-203-7001.
That is 1-800-203-7001.
That is the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
That is a national call center.
Please call that number because we will be there for you.
Come next year, we will find you.
We will rescue you.
We will get you.
And with people like Tara Rotis out there, who are superheroes in my book, and whistleblowers out there that want to save these children, we will be there to save them.
We will find them.
We don't want to see another child under duress and under the circumstances that they've been under with the Biden-Harris fiasco and what has happened in our nation.
We are not going to allow that to happen.
And I can guarantee you, Sean, just as you said, Tom Homan will not allow that to happen.
President Trump will not allow that to happen.
Mark Morgan will not allow that to happen.
Sean Hannity will not allow that to happen.
And I and Tara Rotis will not allow that to happen.
Thank you so much, Sean.
Well, thank you.
And we're going to take that number.
We'll put it up on my website, Hannity.com, in case you missed it.
And you can call it if you have information.
They will respond.
And that is key.
And we will get to the bottom of this.
We will not give up on this issue.
And I got to say, Tara, thank you.
You're very brave for coming forward.
Thank you for standing up for all these children.
Sarah, we appreciate your reporting as well.
We appreciate you being on the program.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
I promised Linda, I was going to play God Bless the USA.
Maybe it is appropriate.
I was just thinking, well, maybe we shouldn't play a song, but, you know, God help this country that this can happen in our country.
How is it that we have allowed murderers in this country?
Lake and Riley, there are dozens and dozens of Lake and Rileys and Rachel Morins and Jocelyn Nungaris.
How is it that we've allowed known terrorists in our country?
What do you think they're doing?
They're plotting, they're planning, they're scheming an attack on our homeland.
How is it we allow rapists, even people raping young children into our country unvetted?
12.5 million.
How is it that you have Democrats that are not up in arms over this?
We have cartel members.
We have gang members, known terrorists.
And Democrats want to give, what, free sex change operations after they give them free food, housing, health care, education?
And they're not respecting our laws, borders, sovereignty.
They're not being vetted.
We have people from over 180 countries.
We've got to make this country safe and secure.
You have Democratic governors.
You have sanctuary cities and states.
You have elected officials in Congress, in the U.S. Senate.
They care more about, quote, the rights of illegal immigrants.
They don't have rights as illegal immigrants.
I'm sorry.
Now, we're a compassionate country.
We're a good people.
We will humanely, you know, send you back to the country of your origin.
And then if you self-report, maybe you'll have a chance to come back legally one day.
But for the sake of our country and the safety of our country, we've got to clean this mess up.
And you watch what happens.
The left in this country is going to go insane.
They already are.
I mean, God bless Governor Abbott.
He said he'd give 1,400 acres, make it available as a staging area for Donald Trump when he becomes president.
So the deportation of those people that didn't respect our laws, border sovereignty, those people unvetted that came into our country.
And you notice Biden in the final moments, yeah, you don't have to check in anymore.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Not a big deal.
What?
He's trying to make it hard to ever find illegal immigrants.
Why are Democrats, why do they care so much about protecting illegal immigrants over the safety and security of the American people?
What part of this are they missing?
Why haven't they spoken to or listened to Lake and Riley's family or Jocelyn Nungarry's mom and grandfather, people we've interviewed, or Rachel Morin's family?
I mean, she had five children.
Those children will never see their moms again.
Why have I been scrolling the names of all of these victims now going on for the past however many years, four years now?
And the list gets longer and longer and longer.
And as far as I know, I think I'm the only one in the media that does it.
The only person in this country.
And these are names you didn't hear.
It's not Lake and Riley or Rachel Morin or Jocelyn Nungari.
You're hearing, you're reading names that you never heard before.
Harris Biden, you think they'd ever pick up a phone and call these families and say they're sorry for not doing their job?
No, of course not.
Pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, we do need God to bless the USA.
But in light of that discussion, it's so painful for me to hear about Americans, especially children.
You know, the Bible actually says this.
If you harm a child, I mean, it is like the worst thing you can do, the worst sin you can commit.
It's right up there.
And there's something so dark, evil, sinister that there are people that would be trafficking children and putting them into prostitution.
And that our government is handing children over to addresses of strip clubs and that they lost track of a whopping 320,000 children that were trafficked into this country.
And nobody seems to care.
They just don't like Donald Trump.
Well, now there's a new sheriff in town.
The only good news is I know Tom Holman.
I know Mark Morgan.
I know Donald Trump.
And I know it's going to get fixed.
You know, what part of murder, rape, violent crime, drugs, cartels, terrorists, do they not understand?
I'm having a hard time getting it.
Quick break right back.
When news breaks breaks, you'll hear the inside story that no one else has.
The behind-the-scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, do you want to get better at shooting and want to know more about gun safety?
Well, you're going to love the technology of Manta Sex.
Also, it's a lot of fun to use.

When Linda started, she couldn't even hit the side of a barn.
And now she's shooting in the 80s, but she continues to not listen to me, or I'd get her to 99 and 100.
Anyway, maybe one day she will.
You'll be amazed at how great it is, and you'll have fun.
