| Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| It's 800-941-SHAWN if you'd like to join us. | |
| I have the full hour tonight on Hannity with President Trump and Elon Musk at the White House. | |
| And I think we even have a little bit more that we're going to run tomorrow night. | |
| But, you know, I've done a lot of interviews. | |
| I got to ask this question a lot. | |
| What's your favorite interview of all time? | |
| And my answer is always the same. | |
| I love the totality of what I do. | |
| I love, I'm grateful to all of you for giving me this radio microphone every day. | |
| I'm grateful to all of you for giving me that camera every night. | |
| Uh at any moment you could fire me. | |
| I hope you don't. | |
| Um I have a lot more I want to say and a lot more I want to cover, and a lot more I want to do. | |
| Uh I was interviewed by a media website, and it will go live, I think, Monday. | |
| And I'll tell you about it at the time. | |
| And I talked about legacy media, and then I talked about all the areas where we get things right, they get things wrong, and why that is. | |
| And I talked about the campaign a little bit and how is it possible Kamala Harris never got asked about you know, saying the rioters in the summer of 2020 won't stop and how they shouldn't stop and we're not going to stop. | |
| And didn't never got asked about that I get I ever knew about taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegal immigrants and illegal uh and convicts or you know, her running mate wanting, you know, gender-affirming care for children without any parental consent, which is nuts, and wanting, you know, taxpayer funded college education for illegal immigrants. | |
| This is how crazy this has been getting. | |
| It's it's just insane. | |
| And what's fascinating, and I guess the timing couldn't be any better, and I'm grateful to all of you because I get to do it on your behalf, is I wanted to interview uh Elon Musk and the president kind of went along. | |
| There's a lot of illusions that are going to be shattered in this interview about who's in charge uh, for example, or that there's some type of conflict, or that uh it just everything that you're hearing and reading is mostly angry, bitter, radical leftists. | |
| Now keep this in mind. | |
| Donald Trump and and Doge now have done a such a phenomenal job that they're already up to over fifty-five billion dollars in taxpayer savings. | |
| Now that question comes up in this interview tonight, too. | |
| And how much do we think we're gonna find? | |
| And I think the answer will amaze you. | |
| I'd see that tonight or tomorrow. | |
| I I I don't know. | |
| I don't remember the order of the questions that I asked. | |
| And yes, I ask about the conflict of interest question, you know, the the media. | |
| I ask about social security, I ask about Medicare, I ask about, you know, the Department of Education. | |
| That comes up at some point during the interview. | |
| And and either block ranting or vouchers and what would replace it, and the federal government's not going to get out of the business of education, but uh there are more efficient, better ways to do it than to, you know, allowing this unholy alliance with teachers unions and uh the Democratic Party to continue. | |
| They're stranglehold. | |
| We pay more per capita for education for kids than any other industrialized country. | |
| And, you know, as the president said the other day, we come in seven 37th, uh, you know, or uh and 40th in reading and math. | |
| It's insane. | |
| And I think what Democrats are most angry about is that they have been exposed. | |
| They have abused your hard-earned tax dollars. | |
| As far as I'm concerned, it's stolen money. | |
| They they've been hiding where they're spending the money, they they they didn't give us the specifics, even with congressional oversight, they didn't tell they didn't when inquiries were made, they didn't give the specifics of where the money went. | |
| They just generally said, Oh, money for our Nigeria, and money for Columbia. | |
| I won't go through the whole list now, but you know, I'll wait till you hear what they've discovered in just the last 24 hours of Doge. | |
| It's pretty amazing. | |
| Um and I I hope you'll find it interesting and informative. | |
| And I walk away with this because I'd only spoken with Elon Musk on the phone. | |
| I'd never met him. | |
| And it's it's just interesting to meet somebody who thinks on this whole other level than where I think, for example, I'll just speak for myself. | |
| And when then you look at his career and PayPal, and and before that there was a uh another company in that, and then he comes up with the idea of SpaceX, and he becomes the chief engineer because he has the brain power to do that. | |
| And then he's the first company to ever launch, you know, uh a a rocket private company to launch a rocket into orbit. | |
| And then he has Starlink and he's launching all these satellites that now cover over a hundred countries around the world. | |
| And then of course he got interested very early in Tesla and immediately invested and became the CEO and and took that company to new heights. | |
| And now he's gonna rescue astronauts, and he was there for the people of North Carolina with free Starlink when they had no communication ability with the outside world. | |
| And he did the same thing for the people in California after the wildfires. | |
| And he's about to rescue astronauts that were abandoned by Joe and Kamala. | |
| You know, they're supposed to be in space eight days, and nearly 300 days later, where you know, sometime next month, Elon I I ask him about do you feel a lot of pressure on this? | |
| Because I would. | |
| I'd feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. | |
| Um we talk about their relationship, we get into it, but you can see it. | |
| It's one of those moments where I think you can see it. | |
| Um and it was it was an honor, it was fun to be a part of, but it was very revealing. | |
| And then maybe the most interesting thing that I learned about Elon and my study of him, and you know, I spent a lot of time studying him. | |
| Is he AI and there's a big announcement today about him in AI and a new company that he has that apparently is better than any other company? | |
| Uh let me see if I can find that because I thought this was fascinating today. | |
| And I was I was actually happy for him. | |
| You know, beyond the fact that Doge discovered 4.7 trillion in treasury payments were missing on top of the fact that we have more people on the rolls for social security than we even have citizens in the country. | |
| I mean, uh I mean it's insane. | |
| I mean, oh over you know, oh, what is it called? | |
| Mock 3. | |
| No, it Elon's Elon has a has a um an AI um partner on X, and it's called Grok, and he unveiled Grok 3. | |
| Oh, Grok 3, yes. | |
| I read that that's that's what it's called, and they think it's better than what the Chinese had recently unveiled in Chat GPT and all the other variations, if you will, of AI. | |
| But anyway, he's actually looking through this company Neurolink that he formed to use artificial intelligence with the human brain, and their goal is to be able to restore sight to the blind and allow people with spinal cord injuries to one day walk again. | |
| And I'm like sitting there like fascinated. | |
| I mean, I I don't get up in the morning, and those are not the thoughts that run through my brain. | |
| Um, I did ask him about Trump derangement syndrome, it came up, and uh here's a little clip of what you'll see tonight. | |
| I mean, I used to be adored by the less so. | |
| I mean, less uh I I really didn't. | |
| I mean, it's this whole sort of like you know, it was the quote like Trump derangement syndrome. | |
| Um I don't you know you don't realize how real this is until like it's you can't reason with people. | |
| So like I was at a friend's uh birthday party in L just a birthday dinner, and everybody was like a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone was behaving normally. | |
| And I happened to mention this is before the election, like a month or two before. | |
| I have to mention the president's name. | |
| And it was like they got shot with a dart in the in the jugula that contained like a mythamphetamine and rabies. | |
| Okay. | |
| Guys, like you can't have like a normal conversation. | |
| And it's like, it's it's it's like they become completely irrational. | |
| A dart and a jugular with meth a shot of methamphetamine and rabies and how irrational they are, and they are. | |
| And, you know, as the the more you get into it, what why? | |
| This is the news today. | |
| The Department of Government Efficiency, Doge released their first savings report today, highlighting an estimated $55 billion in savings. | |
| And I asked him how high he thinks this is going to be, and this is I'll give you a little preview. | |
| It's a tip of the iceberg. | |
| Uh this was in the New York Post today. | |
| Doge announced yesterday 4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a critical tracking code, which made tracing the transactions, quote, almost impossible. | |
| How is that possible? | |
| That is unacceptable when the average American makes $66,000 on average a year. | |
| That is next to impossible. | |
| It really is. | |
| When when the we have a debt that is getting up to 40 trillion dollars. | |
| This is insane. | |
| Now, it only took 27 days, and uh I saw this, you know, and if you look at the amount of debt, you know, that we're accumulating per citizen is about 107,000 according to some estimates. | |
| You know, the federal budget deficit, you know, is gonna be 2.5 trillion. | |
| If you look at what doge thinks they have saved, it's 103. | |
| I'm sorry, I'm uh you know, two point two two a hundred and three billion. | |
| And a lot of this comes up. | |
| How how much will it be? | |
| But anyway, so it could be I I think it's gonna be well over a trillion dollars. | |
| And the fact that people are angry about this is is a good thing. | |
| You should be angry. | |
| That's your money. | |
| They're stealing from your children and grandchildren, and they're hurting our country and hurting our economy. | |
| And they did they're angry that we're finding this information out. | |
| Real clear investigations, real clear politics on their website. | |
| The Biden administration erroneously paid out 764 billion dollars in COVID relief cash. | |
| How do you make a mistake that big? | |
| How is it the GAO put out that Biden misappropriated three no 233 billion dollars? | |
| That's over a quarter of a trillion dollars last year alone. | |
| It is this is insanity. | |
| I played a clip last night, and we'll play it maybe at the bottom of the hour of Al Gore and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and you can take it back to the Reagan years. | |
| All these politicians, we're gonna eliminate waste fraud and abuse. | |
| And Democrats saying it as much as Republicans. | |
| Now we're actually doing it, and now they're mad. | |
| Why would they be mad? | |
| You know, they find, you know, a staggering amount of data that shows there are millions of dead Americans that are on the eligibility list for Social Security payments, and over 8 million that are 130 years old. | |
| Now we don't know if the money's going out yet. | |
| We'll find out. | |
| But we're gonna get to the bottom of this. | |
| Anyway, Musk posting a chart on X showing that the you know there are more than 20 million Americans listed at over the age 100. | |
| We don't have 20 million Americans listed on uh over a hundred. | |
| 3.9 million in the in the 130-year to 139 year range. | |
| More than 3.5 million age, 140 to 149. | |
| Now, maybe they're just on the list and they haven't updated the list. | |
| That's possible. | |
| Or maybe family members are getting something that cashing them. | |
| We don't know. | |
| More than 1.3 million with the ages 150 to 159. | |
| You know, we don't live back in the era of Moses. | |
| People aren't living that long. | |
| Was it Moses? | |
| They live long back in the day. | |
| Um, but and Abraham. | |
| Anyway, the Department of Health and Human Services now is under fire from most for having on its record sixty million people more than the entire U.S. population. | |
| Why are we mad at them? | |
| I'm not mad. | |
| I'm grateful. | |
| I'm grateful that we're gonna we're gonna get to the bottom of this and stop spending our children's money and stealing it. | |
| $370 million in taxpayer dollars being spent on DEI at our own Department of Education. | |
| If we're wasting money like that, and we spend more per capita on education than in any industrialized country with the worst results, it's insane. | |
| And the bureaucrats in DC, they're all you know, it's now reached a new level because they're all complicit in all of this, and they're all worried, so a lot of them are leaving government. | |
| I'm like, good, get out. | |
| You haven't been doing a good job for the American people. | |
| In 2023, the U.S. provided $68 billion in aid to 176 countries. | |
| We we we don't have law and order, safety, security at our own border. | |
| We don't have law and order and safety and security at our towns and cities. | |
| We have energy that we need to produce so we become the most energy dominant country on earth. | |
| You know, we've we've got education of our kids. | |
| We've got debt to pay off. | |
| We need the next generation of weaponry, you know, to first catch up to and then surpass our geopolitical foes. | |
| This is crazy. | |
| Hey there. | |
| I'm Mary Catherine Hammond. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday. | |
| On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| I see Stephen Miller apparently went on fake news CNN. | |
| It was epic. | |
| It's just a beat down. | |
| Why aren't you celebrating these cuts? | |
| I they don't know how to answer. | |
| This is this is when I was interviewed by a media outlet. | |
| Uh, I'll tell you more about it later. | |
| I I kept saying legacy media is dead and they just don't know it yet. | |
| Uh the Doge Caucus Senator pushing an end to these slush funds and welfare for politicians. | |
| That's more money, which I think is important, Senator Joni Ernst. | |
| Social Security data, as I said, more eligible recipients than our living Americans eligible, not necessarily being paid, but where do we get the answer for that? | |
| I bet you there are a lot of people that are on Social Security on those lists that are getting paid that are dead. | |
| You want I'm just bet I'm just a guess on my part. | |
| Let's see if I'm right. | |
| Acting head of Social Security is quit. | |
| Uh and I'm like, that fine. | |
| If you're not on board with the Trump agenda to save money and stop stealing from American taxpayers and future generations, then you really don't belong there. | |
| Department of Education had they got to slash 600 million for DEI teacher training grants. | |
| How about we teach them reading, writing, math, science, and history? | |
| Let's stick to the basics, shall we? | |
| Let's stick to the basics. | |
| Get your dose of independence and liberty every weekday right here on the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| All right, 25 now till the top of the hour. | |
| You know, we keep hearing from the liberal media. | |
| Uh Elon Musk is unelected. | |
| Well, so is every other cabinet member. | |
| And and so is every other appointment. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| You know, presidents under Article 2 of our Constitution. | |
| They have the authority to govern and control agencies and departments in the executive branch. | |
| And, you know, we went back into the the I I mean, they just can't be this stupid. | |
| This is now the hill the left in America, the radicalized, extremely radicalized left wants to go. | |
| They they they want to they they want to dig their heels in on all of this reckless abuse, corruption, waste, fraud, and and if that's the hill they want to die on, that's that's fine with me. | |
| Because they're not gonna win in the end. | |
| This is not what our framers and our founders intended in any way, shape, manner, or form. | |
| It's just simply not. | |
| It is not what the American people want. | |
| And the American people have every right to be very angry at what they are experiencing and how their money's been abused and wasted this way. | |
| And anyway, we'll check in with the legality of all that. | |
| Greg Jarrett later in the program at the top of the next hour. | |

| Uh other news. | |
| Uh I'm sure the media won't cover a lot of it. | |
| And I didn't know about it until I saw it on John Solomon's site, Justhennews.com, but uh the president did confirm that U.S. forces conducted a strike against a member of Al Qaeda in Syria, and they took out a top Al-Qaeda leader. | |
| The terrorist leader was working with Al-Qaeda across the region, and President Trump put it up on truth. | |
| Congratulations to CENTCOM commander and the U.S. war fighters who dealt justice to another jihadi threatening America and our ally our allies and our partners. | |
| They did this. | |
| It was a precision air strike, according to the president, and it was confirmed over the weekend by U.S. Central Command. | |
| The airstrike is part of CENCOM's ongoing commitment along with their partners in the region to disrupt and degrade the efforts of terrorists to plan, organize, conduct attacks against civilians, military personnel from the U.S., our allies, our partners throughout the region and beyond. | |
| Just if you're the an Iranian mullah right now, I promise you they're hiding in a bunker underground. | |
| They are not gonna not gonna pop their head up for a second. | |
| Uh Biden era agency officials are now making a beeline, according to Reuters, as Trump investigators are knocking on their door asking for answers. | |
| So all these Biden era, Harris era agency officials are resigning left and right. | |
| Uh and um because they're being asked questions that they don't want to have to answer on how your tax dollars are being spent. | |
| According to the Hill over at the DOJ, 97% of political contributions goes to Democrats. | |
| A senior prosecutor resigned after refusing through a request that she investigate suspicious content contract awarded by the Biden administration. | |
| Well, you're not gonna do your job. | |
| Goodbye. | |
| That's the way that works. | |
| At the Social Security Administration, a top official resigned after Doge discovered that active Social Security roles included all these millions of dead people. | |
| The AP reports after that the Social Security Administration's acting commissioner stepped down from her role at the agency because Doge requested access to recipient information. | |
| And then we find out all these people, a hundred, hundred and thirty, hundred and fifty are still on the rolls. | |
| We don't know if they're getting paid yet. | |
| We'll find out. | |
| You know, it's funny. | |
| Fake news CNN analysts whacking Trump for job cuts while paying a secret service to write him around the racetrack. | |
| This is how petty the left is today. | |
| You know, that's what presidents do. | |
| You know, how great is it that we have a president that actually can function at such a high level that he can go to a Super Bowl game that they tone a 500, give almost daily press access, and answering questions without predetermined, without having them predetermined and who the questioners are. | |
| It's uh pretty remarkable. | |
| Watching the Democrats, by the way, implode is fun. | |
| These are exciting times. | |
| If you're a conservative that has always believed in eliminating waste fraud and abuse, if you've always believed in your heart in limited government, greater freedom, this is this is our shot. | |
| This is why I keep saying to people you don't vote for Trump and then say, see you later. | |
| Good luck. | |
| You got to stay engaged because this is our shot. | |
| This is it. | |
| You're not going to get another one. | |
| You know, everybody in Congress, I mean they talk about the coarseness of Trump's language back in the first term. | |
| He said they're enemy of the people. | |
| Well, they're, you know, Democrats uh are cussing about Trump. | |
| F. Trump, F. Trump, F. Donald Trump, F. Elon Musk, Congressman Mark Pocana, Wisconsin's say. | |
| I'm sure is I'm sure the people there are proud. | |
| Donald Norcross, New Jersey, spoke about working as a construction worker and electrician for the International Brotherhood of Electoral Workers in Atlantic City. | |
| We had a guy called Donald Trump. | |
| We fought with him for 10 years. | |
| I'm from New Jersey. | |
| Do we speak a little differently? | |
| I say F Trump. | |
| Congresswoman Maxine Dexter or Oregon, you know, a polmanologist. | |
| I don't swear well in public. | |
| You know, we have to F Trump. | |
| That that's that's their pushback. | |
| That's their answer. | |
| I mean, this is why we've got to get the economy on track. | |
| This is why reconciliation should be done. | |
| Apparently, the Senate is looking to take that up tonight. | |
| I think they're trying to usurp the one big beautiful bill in the House. | |
| That's my guess. | |
| But, you know, they'll they'll have to reconcile that. | |
| Uh Elon Musk has a new artificial intelligence startup, uh, XAI inveiled in the latest model, which is called GROC 3. | |
| Talking about this before. | |
| Anyway, and he calls it the smartest AI on earth. | |
| Now, a lot of people got freaked out when China revealed their deep seek and they were much further along with AI than we had known, but this would beat and outperform models from open AI and chat V GPT, etc. | |
| Anyway, Musk is now juggling Doge and all of these ventures, including NeuroLink, which I described earlier, and which would help the blind see and people with spinal cord injuries walk again. | |
| And he said the mission of XAI or I think it's XAI and Grok is to understand the universe. | |
| We want to answer the biggest questions. | |
| Where are the aliens? | |
| What's the meaning of life? | |
| How does the universe end? | |
| And to do that, we must rigorously pursue truth. | |
| He had a great message. | |
| You'll you'll see this tonight, Linda. | |
| He had a great message for billionaires in America. | |
| Message directly for them. | |
| It was pretty interesting. | |
| And I'm not sure where that came from. | |
| Anyway, he noted that GROC 3 has more than 10 times the computing power of its predecessor and completed pre-training earlier this year, and it's outperformed Alphabet's Google Gemini, Deep Seek, that's the Chinese version. | |
| Uh and a lot of the other open AI and GPT and so on and so forth. | |
| Look, one thing you've got to understand is, and this is hard for most of us to wrap our minds around. | |
| I've I've I play around with artificial intelligence. | |
| I do. | |
| It is the most mind-numbing thing I've ever seen in my life. | |
| And it's probably gonna, it's probably gonna advance science in the most sophisticated ways that we can't even imagine right now. | |
| It's gonna the way we're gonna look back on how we treat cancer is like we were in the prehistoric ages. | |
| And probably sooner than later, is my guess. | |
| You know, will a lot of jobs get eliminated? | |
| Probably. | |
| Maybe that's why the recent article on the next generation of millionaires will be people in the trades because AI can't, you know, although he does have a robotics company too, and they can do a lot of mundane tasks at home that you won't have to do too. | |
| Um anyway, so it's uh this is just a very, very interesting time. | |
| Uh I saw this in the Daily Mail, MAGA head of JFK Files Task Force. | |
| I don't know the details yet, but I'm looking forward to getting the details. | |
| Claims that there were two shooters, and there's plenty more to uncover. | |
| Wow. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Anna Paulina Luna made that jaw dropping claim that two shooters in the JFK assassination. | |
| Why have they held these things private? | |
| Doesn't make sense, does it? | |
| Anyway, they're gonna declassify this these documents about JFK, RFK, MLK, and Jeffrey Epstein. | |
| I'd love for them to also add to that the files on taxpayer money being used to pay off NDAs of elected officials. | |
| They want an NDA. | |
| Let them let them take that money out of their own pocket. | |
| They shouldn't use taxpayer money. | |
| I don't care if it's Republicans or Democrats that are exposed. | |
| Um, but this is gonna get very, very interesting. | |
| I want to know what the government's been hiding from us. | |
| My guess is, and I got to give props to uh Vice President J.D. Vance today, too. | |
| He goes over to Europe. | |
| Jonathan Turley had a really good article about this, and you know, he's speaking before the uh Munich Security Conference in front of a hostile, you know, European diplomatic corps, and he confronted them with their systemic censorship as they demand more support to quote defend democracy. | |
| And and Turley compared it to Reagan's, you know, tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbachev. | |
| You know, Mr. Garver trying to tear down this wall. | |
| Anyway, Vance questioning why our allies can claim to be the bastions of freedom and deny their own citizens free speech, because they do. | |
| And they want to shut down not only Elam, but they're arresting people for speech codes. | |
| And, you know, if you're running in fear of your own voters, there's nothing American could do to help you. | |
| Nor for that matter, is there anything that you can do for America or the American people that elected me and President Trump? | |
| I mean, not freaked out, the German defense minister who said this is marks are not acceptable. | |
| They're acceptable as hell, whether you want to accept them or not. | |
| That's what it is. | |
| And the outrage of the Europeans only surpassed by America's, you know, own efforts. | |
| I mean, you have Bill Kristol. | |
| He's not a conservative. | |
| He's he's a never Trumper, obsessed, never Trumper. | |
| Anyway, you know, him him claiming a humiliation for the U.S. and confirmation this administration isn't on the side of democracies. | |
| Why doesn't he stand up for free speech? | |
| What happened to him? | |
| He lost his mind like Liz Cheney. | |
| Just obsessed. | |
| Margaret Brennan's stupid question to Secretary of State Rubio of advances support for free speech. | |
| You know, and she's out there making the comparison. | |
| We talked about it yesterday, that it was free speech that brought Hitler to power. | |
| Well, first of all, that's not true. | |
| One of the first things the Nazis did was crack down on free speech, criminalize dissents, dissent, and censorship. | |
| And that is the harbinger of authoritarianism, and Germany is the ultimate example of how no censorship in that system in history, you know, has ever succeeded in killing one idea or stopped a single movement. | |
| Brennan could not have picked a better country to utterly destroy the points he was trying to make. | |
| But I got to give credit to JD. | |
| Europe is getting the message, by the way. | |
| You know, Teams Trump's, you know, effort to get Western Europe to do more to defend itself. | |
| It is working. | |
| He had European Leaders miffed by President Trump's call with Vladimir Putin, but he also talked to Zelensky trying to get to a peace deal. | |
| And anyway, now we have the head of NATO is actually defense. | |
| Yeah, we gotta pay more. | |
| We gotta pay a fair share. | |
| They're supposed to pay 5% of the GDP. | |
| They don't. | |
| And Canada, you know, I was so proud of our friends in Boston standing up and booing the Canadian national anthem. | |
| Christy Gnome personally apologized to border patrol agents who Biden and Harris smeared as racist. | |
| Tom Holman, and by the way, she didn't have to do that. | |
| That should come from Biden and Harrison Mayorcus. | |
| Uh Tom Holman urging the DOJ to investigate AOC for aiding and abetting by putting out information on how to avoid ice. | |
| I probably would argue that that's more on the free speech side. | |
| Under Biden, we had an average daily number of 11,000. | |
| Now we're down to 229. | |
| I would call that progress. | |
| Gnome's message to anyone trying to enter the country illegally, don't do it. | |
| And this is not like Joe's don't. | |
| Don't even think about it, she said. | |
| Because they're going to catch you and they're going to deport you. | |
| Then the left is getting all freaked out because people that are being sent home in our airplanes. | |
| Yeah, we don't know if they're terrorists. | |
| We don't know if they're murderers and rapists. | |
| We don't know if they're gang members. | |
| We don't know if they're members of cartels. | |
| We don't know if they're going to hijack that plane. | |
| So yeah, you gotta put them in handcuffs and put them home. | |
| They didn't obey the law. | |
| They're lucky they're not being put in jail. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| Boston police commissioner doubling down on ICE resistance. | |
| We don't enforce detainers. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, let's see what happens to him. | |
| New York, by the way, they arrested a transgender Biden illegal for raping a 14-year-old boy. | |
| More blood. | |
| And you know, on the hands of Kamala and uh Joe. | |
