All right.
The showdown in California continues.
Gavin Newsom clearly losing it.
His Trump derangement syndrome fixation on all things Trump.
You know, Trump is deranged.
He's a dictator.
Uh he's her uh uh uh he's reckless, he's immoral, he's a stone cold liar.
You're blaming Trump.
And and here is the problem as we have been saying federal law enforcement officers were attacked by violent radicals and illegal criminals, and we went through the list of the people that they were catching to keep the people of Los Angeles safe.
Now, you have two choices here.
You can do nothing and let this thing spiral out of control.
Uh and and but the the most important thing that uh I want to really stay focused on what when you look at California and their sanctuary state and sanctuary city status, and you look at all the people that have been murdered and raped and victims of violent crime and how much money California spends annually on illegal immigrants in California, and you're running massive deficits, and you're the highest tax state in the entire country.
Uh you you're just never gonna get the truth.
And the fact is they don't even keep illegal immigrant statistics on violent crime.
We had we went it in terms of our research, we went story by story that we could find.
And why is it that they care more about the rights of even violent illegal immigrants over the safety and security of people?
And, you know, and then the reality is is that they have failed miserably and they don't even want to accept what that this failure or admit to this failure, and we're at a point of time is what are we now going to do?
You either wait and let it play out and risk people dying, or the president was an obligation to keep the country safe, is gonna step in and do the job that Gavin Newsom won't do.
The mayor of Los Angeles won't do.
Uh here's the LAPD chief admitting that they're overwhelmed by the riots, describing the violence that you see with your own eyes by the rioters, and Gavin Newsom is blaming Donald Trump for it.
This violence that I've seen is disgusting.
It's escalated now uh since the beginning of uh this incident.
What we saw the first night was uh was bad.
What we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent.
Tonight we had uh individuals out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers.
That can kill you.
And we have adapted our tactics to be able to have a chance to be able to take these people into custody and to be able to hold them accountable.
We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people out there engaged in this type of activity and the type of things that they're doing.
They'll take backpacks, and the backpack will have a cinder block in it.
They have a hammer, and they'll break up the cinder block and use that, pass it around to throw at officers, to throw at cars, and throw at other people.
We've seen people with hammers, and you've broadcasted, breaking the bollards behind the federal building and taking the rocks, if you will, or pieces of concrete.
throwing them at officers.
We've had liquid of who knows what description thrown at officers.
There's no no limit to what they're what they're doing to our officers.
In other words, we are overwhelmed.
Key words here that throw in cinder blocks at cops, liquids at cops.
They are overwhelmed.
And as a result of Gavin Newsom's support of sanctuary state and and and city status and Mayor Bass's declaration that L.A. is a sanctuary city.
Well, just so you know, it is state and local police.
They are prohibited from inquiring about an individual's immigration status.
Even during the routine course of their work, they are forbidden from holding illegal immigrants until they can be transferred into federal custody.
In other words, aiding and abetting the law breaking on a federal basis, never mind the supremacy clause to the Constitution that would give the right of the federal government that supersedes the whatever state law that might be in effect and federal agencies are quote prohibited in California from uh commandeering local authorities you know to work with immigration agencies and uphold the laws of our land as Darrell Isa said uh what did a California expect?
We have a podcaster for governor and he said that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have a real habit of letting Los Angeles burn and Democrats in the media think riots that injure or kill law enforcement are mostly peaceful.
Anyway he joins us now uh Congressman Issa welcome back I'm sorry this is happening in Los Angeles our prayers are with the innocent people out there our prayers are with law enforcement out there.
I I don't think the president had any any choice considering that the very people that created this scenario and created sanctuary city and state status and the people that won't allow ICE to do their job uh and when cops are under fire this way and local police have their hands tied they can't even assist I don't I don't think there's any other option.
Sean you're exactly right thanks for having me on and and thanks for making the case so well that President Trump has no greater responsibility than the safety and security of people in their home states in the United States.
And when you look at an insurrection and that's what this really is I know we've heard that term in the past but this is an insurrection.
These are people lawlessly objecting to law enforcement delivering valid uh warrants for arrest, executing what is their constitutional responsibility, obeying the law, dotting all the eyes, and then when they don't like it,
they take the violence and whether it was uh Eisenhower uh in the 50s or Lyndon Johnson in the sixties or 1992, even uh here in California in in LA, presidents have an obligation and they meet that obligation and if in the case of uh uh both Lyndon Johnson and uh Dwight David Eisenhower you've got governors that will not defend their people's their innocent people's constitutional rights
there's no choice but for the president to step in and that's what President Trump has done uh and and you know uncertain terms he's doing it for all the right reasons the same as other presidents have done it.
Listen ideally Gavin would have stepped up to do his job but Gavin has been a part of this this movement that has has basically put handcuffs on local police I mean imagine this federal law enforcement officers attacked by violent radicals and local law enforcement agents can't even ask their status.
And and you've got people you know doing donuts with Mexican flags uh and and then this whole group of people on the radical left saying it's mostly peaceful and then don't believe your lying eyes and the same thing with a corrupt news media as well.
So the choice is here, you either wait and hope for the best, and by doing so, I would argue you're putting innocent people's lives at risk, or you become proactive and prevent what happened in the summer of 2020 from repeating itself.
Well, Sean, you're exactly right.
Uh this president's not going to have a repeat of 2020.
Uh he knows that if you stop it in Los Angeles, it doesn't spread all over the country.
That's his obligation.
And he's and he's meeting it.
Uh it is sad that my governor, uh, and for that matter, Maxinewaters and others that you saw this weekend, uh, irresponsibly uh take the side of the insurrectionist.
They take the side of people who are breaking the law and it and using deadly force, at least potentially deadly force, uh, against law enforcement and quite frankly, even members of the press.
Members of the press have been hit with those rocks.
And sooner or later, if you throw uh a scooter off of a bridge and it falls down, it's going to hit something and kill it.
And that's exactly what the president's trying to prevent.
Um I I really pray that he succeeds over the objections of my governor and uh my former colleague here in the House, Karen Bass, because if they had their way, this would simply turn into an out-of-control riot.
Uh and Sean, if I can just pivot, imagine for a moment that these people are doing exactly what they're doing, using violent force, not a peaceful demonstration, and it was on any other subject.
Let's just say that it was on uh voter ID or some issue from the other side.
Do you think for a moment that uh the mayor and the governor wouldn't quickly crack down and uh and and quell the idea that people would use violence uh on the right?
Of course not.
This is simply making an excuse for violence on the left.
Okay, so I look at your the the the stats in your state, you know, they on paper it's nearly five percent of the population, just shy of five percent that they say are illegal.
That is an astronomically high amount to me.
That means millions of people in California there illegally.
Them police officers, they they can't even inquire about an individual's status during the course of their work, which is insane.
Um, you know, uh the uh California Governor Newsom vows sanctuary to all who seek it January 7, 2019.
And then I can give you all the examples which I did in the last hour, I won't repeat it here, of all of the heinous crimes committed by illegals in California.
And I was asking this question on X last night.
Gavin, have you ever called any of the families?
Do you care at all about the safety of the citizens in your state?
Because apparently he does not.
Because if he did care, he wouldn't allow this to continue.
And and if i i for example, if you allow sanctuary state status and you don't allow cops to do their job and enforce the laws, what is the federal government supposed to do?
Turn a blind eye to you assisting in the law breaking?
Well, you're exactly right, Sean.
And and as you've seen in these vivid uh videos that we're all seeing, for the most part, the federal officers or the National Guardsmen that have been federalized, they're simply creating the space for the police to do their job.
Uh and that's that's what I really commend is that it was it was the police in Los Angeles who were very much on the side of what the president's doing, uh, who were overwhelmed.
The president realized it, sent in uh troops to create a stable environment comparatively, in which the police can make those arrests.
And by the way, when you say they can't ask somebody's status, it's worse than that, Sean.
In California, when Bill Clinton was president, and even when George W. Bush became president, we had programs where if you had somebody incarcerated for a crime in a county jail, and they were going to be released, that you would allow an ICE agent to determine, just come in and determine whether they were lawfully in the country or not, so that you wouldn't be releasing somebody.
Oh, I'm fully aware of it.
State and local officers are forbidden from holding illegal immigrants uh so they can be transferred to federal custom custody.
They're by law, they they are prevented from helping out ICE agents.
Now, meanwhile, as to quote Tom Homan, Department of Homeland Security, and we have Christy Noam and Pam Bondi on TV tonight.
I mean, they're dealing with the worst of the worst that they're rounding up out there.
Well, exactly, Sean.
And you know, yes, we have 18 or 20 million people who may not have committed crimes that are also here.
Uh but it's the obstruction when they're going after people who have committed other crimes other than just being here illegally.
Um that's the tip of the iceberg.
If you're going to see this kind of violence against trying to get rid of uh rapists and murderers and uh people who've committed assault, uh if we're good if we're gonna see this over that, imagine when we're simply trying to say to people, it's time for you to go home.
You've had your due process, and it's safe for you to return to your home country.
So we if we don't do it now, it only will get worse.
I commend the president and his entire cabinet and team uh for doing their job.
And I I really, to be honest, I'm just ashamed of my governor and the mayor of LA.
They took oaths, and they're clearly not living up to those oaths.
Quick break, right back more with California Congressman Darrell Issa on the other side.
We'll hit the phones as well when we get back.
800-941 Sean, we'll get a lot of your reaction to this as we continue straight ahead.

California Congressman Daryl Issa is with us.
So if he's aiding in a betting in law breaking, and now he's saying, Come arrest me, and Gavin Newsom's, you know, is threatening to cancel funding uh the California's paying the bills and threatening to withhold payments to the federal government in terms of tax dollars.
Um, if that's if if if that is his position, then I don't think they have any choice but to arrest him.
And he's I think he wants it.
He's like begging for it.
Oh, absolutely.
He is begging for it.
He looks Sean, he thinks he's gonna be the next president of the United States.
Uh and you know, I can't I actually can't wait for our nominee to be up against somebody on the far left who makes the decision for the people, uh, not on my side, uh the uh left and right, but the people in the middle and even on the center left, who are just appalled at what's going on.
I would like nothing more than to have that kind of referendum uh again, the way we just had it uh between my former senator, uh, because Harris was such a left winger that she was rejected.
We uh we picked up uh increases in every county in California in Republican votes for Donald J. Trump.
And we did so partially because they wanted him back, but definitely because they didn't want Harris and the left wing craziness that we put up with with Biden for four full years.
Well, he they ultimately together combined caused all of this.
All right, we'll continue our coverage of these violent uh uh protesters out in Los Angeles and the president's decision to do the job that Gavin refuses to do, and law enforcement by law can't do.
Uh we appreciate your time, Congressman Darrell Issa.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of 10, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Navok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.

Um, anyway, with all the derangement in the media that we have been chronicling about what's going on in Los Angeles, you know, don't believe you're lying.
I'd don't believe you see a city ablaze because the state-run legacy media mob is lying to you as we've have been chronicling on fake news CNN, they're lying.
On MSDNC, predictably, they're lying.
Uh local media in Los Angeles has been lying, and they're telling mostly peaceful.
And then people like Maxine Waters, he's not telling the truth.
Corey Booker's not telling the truth.
Certainly Gavin Newsom's not telling the truth.
And there are people that have been in the middle of this, one of them, and I noticed you know, postings online, and it's like anything but peaceful, just like the footage that we will show you tonight, and you can decide for yourself if you haven't been following it all weekend.
But anyway, Cam Higby's his name, uh, and he's kind of like an independent reporter, and I saw a lot of your posts online, and I'm like, uh, at least this guy's telling us the truth.
Uh, Cam, how are you?
Good.
How are you, Sean?
The streets of LA officially belong to the writers.
That got my attention.
Yeah.
They uh they burned five Waymo autonomous self-driving vehicles, the EVs in the middle of the street.
I guess they were lined up and kind of blocked and all cornered down each other.
They burned all five of them, and before one of them was burned, they stood on top of it with a Mexican flag in front of the smoke.
And how many Mexican flags have you seen in your coverage?
Uh I couldn't I couldn't count them.
Just You can't count 'em.
If not thousands.
What do you make of this report?
Just the news.com had a report that an advocacy group at the center of this uh is organizing efforts, because I also saw the videos, you know, conveniently placed cement blocks that they were dumping on police cars.
Uh you I played earlier in the program, the police chief saying that they're overwhelmed by the riots, describing that police officers are being pelted with bricks and and concrete and and flu they have no idea fluids being thrown at them, Molotov cocktails, etc.
Uh, what do we know about the organization and who's behind some of this?
Uh, do we know anything that you've been able to discover?
Well, I'll tell you there's one group that's that's responsible for organizing at least part of it.
It's the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the PSL.
They have chapters all around the country.
I'm from Seattle.
They have chapters in Seattle, they have chapters in Los Angeles.
I dealt with them a lot when I operated in Los Angeles more.
Um their post had uh I uh last time I checked 60,000 likes to go to City Hall yesterday.
So um that's where the everyone started out with that massive thousands of people crowd outside of City Hall, and then they moved to the VA clinic and they attacked that.
But as far as the pallets and stuff like that go, I'll tell you, I found a palette last night of literal just pieces of concrete on a pallet, right?
Where protesters can grab it.
And not an easy place to get a pallet either.
Um kind of behind cover, and uh my friend Anthony Cabasa, who's also uh an independent journalist, he found that palette and pointed out to me yesterday.
I didn't even realize there was a palette underneath it, and he goes, There's a p somebody put this here.
There's a pallet here.
And he found several pallets the night before as well on the second night of the LA rides.
Last night was the third, and we're gearing up for the the fourth tonight.
But what happened is these guys were all on an overpass um on street level, and then below street level is the freeway.
And so the police were getting ready to come up the ranch and clear these guys, and they started throwing cinder blocks, lime scooters, anything large that you could find to throw off the overpass at the moving police vehicles.
So what that caused is all of the police officers were trapped underneath the underpass, and they couldn't leave either side, because from both sides they were throwing cinder blocks, bricks, electric scooters, stuff like that.
And so the cops are trapped under there.
They some of their cruisers are like out in the open, being completely trash, bricks getting thrown at them.
They lit one on fire, and as a police officer came out to extinguish it with fire extinguisher, they hit him in head of the brick.
What complicates this, I think, the most is because it's a sanctuary state, as approved by Gavin Newsom himself, they ended up apprehending according to the federal government, you know, people, you know, guilty of everything from murder to rape and drug dealing and everything in between, the worst of the worst, and state and local officials are forbidden from holding illegal immigrants until they can be transferred into federal custody custody.
And at that point, there is there's no authority for local police to actually do their job if they even wanted to do their job.
They'll be risking their career.
It goes further than that.
It's not just for for immigrants either.
It's uh it's for anything, including these riots.
Uh, my friend journalist Aldo Bazzoni, who uh I've been out with spoke with law enforcement last night, and they said these orders are coming from the top, they're allowed to defend themselves, but that's about it.
They're not allowed to uh actually quell these riots at all.
There's nothing they can do.
The state and city refuse to allow um federal law enforcement to get in here.
Karen Bass says that the people of LA are scared right now, that the the rioters specifically she's talking about.
That's why they're riding, they're scared.
They're not scared.
They're emboldened because Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, refuses to do anything about these protests.
They feel that they can do whatever they want with zero ramifications.
They're not scared, they are emboldened.
Oh, it's unbelievable, and you're seeing this with your own eyes.
The media is lying, aren't they?
Is Gavin Newsom lying?
100%.
Of course they're lying.
Yeah, they keep saying that it's like Mayor Bass is lying.
She is the worst in terms of liars.
Appreciate your time.

If you want to be a part of the program.
What's up, Tom?
How are you?
My old stomping grounds.
This is why I left New York because of the madness and this madness in California.
That's why people are leaving that state in droves.
What's going on?
Well, at least on Long Island, nobody talks with an accent, you know?
It's all those other guys.
Oh, really?
You don't talk with an accent.
How are you doing?
Coffee, fork radio.
You don't speak with nobody.
How are you?
I'm doing fine, but I got a question for you.
I've been listening to you driving home from work for years, and I got a question for you.
You always talk to these unimportant people, these very important people, about peel unpeeling the onion, unpeeling the onion.
I don't really get that.
On Long Island here, when we peel an onion or peel a banana, we're taking the outside stuff off.
Now, if you're unpeeling the onion, are you like gluing the outside things back on again?
What's going on with that?
You're asking a funny question.
No, if you actually peel, if you look at an onion and you peel every layer of the onion, it's actually very thin.
And so if you're taking off layer after layer after layer, what I really mean by that is I'm saying I'm doing a deep dive, and you have to uncover one layer and then uncover the next layer and then uncover the next layer.
You don't just say, oh, I found the the answer the next day.
It takes time.
Although in certain cases, I had sources, I had sources in Ferguson, Missouri, that told me, Sean, there are multiple eyewitnesses that will confirm that Darren Wilson's story, they're already on the record.
I knew before everybody else.
Why?
Because I had contacts and I made phone calls.
I mean, that's that's that's how you do your job.
That's why I we take great pride in being right in the legacy media mob is wrong.
If I get it wrong every day, let me tell you, nobody's gonna trust me.
That's why nobody trusts the legacy media mob anymore.
That's why they had no impact on this election, and they threw everything they had at Donald Trump.
And now they're gonna try and tell you that what we see out in Los Angeles isn't happening.
Why?
Because they care about Democrats and they want to, you know, circle the wagons around Gavin and the the insanity of sanctuary city and state policies.
Good luck with that.
Not gonna work.
Anyway, my friend, got a roll.
Appreciate you being with us.
Uh Mark, South Carolina, Sean Hannity Show.
Hi.
Hi, Sean.
How you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Good.
Thank you for all you do for us, sir.
You're a true patriot.
Um, as you can hear, uh, your listeners will hear, I have an accent, I speak funny.
I'm an ex-South African, uh, legally came here.
And the immigration situation as we as it is now, if this is not a wake-up call for for everybody, then I don't know.
I mean, what we got for four years every day was a Trojan horse delivered here every day for four years by the Biden administration.
And if you And you have to ask yourself why.
Why did they want, you know, ten, twelve, fourteen, twenty million illegals in this country unvetted.
Why would they allow known terrorists in our country and gang members, cartel members and murderers and rapists and other other violent criminals?
Why?
I mean, I lived through it uh in my background from celebrities.
What happened is this is a classical plot to undermine the country from within and destroy it from within.
Because there's no way they can take us on militarily, most countries.
Um they undermine it from within.
And and if you if you look at the numbers that are here that are uh 15 million and it's probably more like 20.
If you do the simple math, it's we have to deport like 200,000 immigrants a day.
We're doing a thousand, maybe two thousand.
And and the the point of this call is is a rally cry.
This is by no means a call to violence or anything like that.
It's a rally cry to my citizens, uh all the American citizens, immigrants like me, uh, Democrats, Republicans, independents.
Let us rise up and assist the police departments at our local grassroots levels.
Let us go in the hundreds.
We we like they did in the old militia days.
Let us go in the hundreds and support these guys.
Even if we drive buses to go and uh incarcerate these guys that they've captured.
Listen, I I I I don't believe you you then border on vigilanteism and these are not trained people.
I prefer trained professionals in instead of the average citizen.
Now the average citizen has the right to protect themselves, their family, their business.
Um, but with all that said, when you're dealing with mobs, and that's what we're witnessing in Los Angeles, you and insurrection like we're witnessing in Los Angeles, you need the pros on the street.
And even then, It can get out of hand very quickly.
And this is where President Trump had to make a call.
And the call was very simple as far as I'm concerned.
Local police are have handcuffs on them.
They cannot do their job because of the sanctuary state policies as supported by the governor.
Now, you know, the media, they're stunned over Trump's support for Gavin Newsom's arrest.
Uh they didn't have any problems with Donald Trump being arrested twice, including had having his fingerprint and a mugshot.
Um, I think Gavin wants to be a martyr.
I think he thinks this helps him politically and would help him get the nomination because he's going to be the most radical of radical lefties, and that would help him in a democratic primary.
It will not help him in a general election.
Because when the country learns about the failure that is California, I think they'll reject him.
I don't care how slick he might be.
And I know him well.
I got a roll.
Appreciate your call.
