This is an iHeart podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we give you news, information that you'll never get from the state-run legacy media mob that can never ever be trusted as evidenced by their selective, feigned, phony, indignant, moral outrage and double standard.
The very people fixated on one riot, ignored the 574 riots that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, and caused billions of property damage, and denied that the rioting was even going on.
Summer of love, they're mostly peaceful.
No, not working.
And it's not working for them politically either.
This is the most amazing development in this second term of Donald Trump.
And it is Americans want to be safe and secure.
Americans want lower taxes.
Americans don't want cars they don't want pushed in their driveways.
They don't want their stoves, refrigerators, straws, washer dryers, and air conditioners taken away from them.
And they don't want to be lied to about a president's cognitive state, about borders being secure when they clearly are not.
They don't want to be lied to about the economy, and they've had it.
What we are living through is beyond historic.
What do I mean by that?
This is transformational.
We now are under President Trump.
We are on the precipice.
Certainly, the possibility is very strong of what would be a dramatic political shift in the country.
And I have numbers to back it up and numbers to prove it.
I was just texting with Matt Towery, Insider Advantage.
He'll join us tonight on TV.
And he's about to release a poll.
What is your opinion of President Trump's decision in recent days to deploy the National Guard and federal military in downtown Los Angeles?
Approval, 59%.
Disapproval, 39%.
Undecided, 2%.
Now, let's go to Fake News CNN, their data guru, this guy, Harry Enton.
Anyway, he's on there and he's saying, you know, he's asked the question about how Americans feel about the issue of immigration and lawfulness, the immigration crackdown of President Trump.
Immigrant citizens, immigrant voters, foreign-born voters have gone tremendously to the right.
In other words, they're agreeing with Trump in 2024, 2025 than they were in 2020 or 2016.
When asked which party is closest to you on the issue of immigration, Enton pointed out that in 2020, only five years ago, Democrats had a 32-point lead with, and immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp.
You fast forward to 2025, look at the shift, a 40-point shift to the right among immigrant voters.
Republicans now lead on this issue by eight points over Democrats more than any other group that I could find.
The group of voters have become more hawkish on immigration, were in fact immigrants themselves, immigrants who are registered to vote in this country.
And he went on to say the president's share in presidential elections among immigrant citizens, those who are registered to vote.
You know, look, 2016, he had 36% of the vote.
2020, 39%.
In 2024, it's 47.
And it's growing up.
And what do I mean by this generational shift?
What I mean is when you factor in the $10 trillion in committed manufacturing monies for automobiles and semiconductor chips and for pharmaceuticals because of Donald Trump fighting for America first and American jobs and American manufacturing, something that Obama once famously declared was never coming back here.
Joe Biden echoed those comments.
So did Kamala Harris and most Democrats is in no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
And, you know, which party now represents the party of working men and women?
That would be the Republican Party.
You know, what party now represents law and order and safety and security?
That would be the Republican Party.
Which party is not championing the right of men to play women's sports?
That would be the Republican Party.
Which party is the party of coastal, woke, you know, radical climate extremism and radical elites?
That would be the Democratic Party.
And this is the big miscalculation of Gavin Newsom in all of this.
Not that I think that he cares, although I do believe it is fascinating to me in the middle of all of this chaos, which he denies is even happening, like Maxine Waters denies as even happening, and Corey Booker and Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff all deny is even happening.
In the middle of all of this, people have eyes to see, just like people witnessed all of these millions and millions of unvetted illegals, and then they felt the impact in their small towns and big cities.
They're witnessing what's happening in the streets of Los Angeles now beginning to spread around the country.
Hopefully we can get to the bottom of who might be involved in the organizational aspects of this.
We have investigations going on now as we speak.
And Gavin Newsom is lecturing me on X yesterday, and he and I are in an X battle and an X war.
I kind of gave up on it because it's a waste of my time.
My final post to him was at Gavin Newsom, after reviewing your post, it's now crystal clear to me that your blind political ambition is your number one priority, even over the safety and security of law enforcement and even your own lawful citizens, because he's going after me.
And meanwhile, he should be out there.
He should be the one that's enforcing the rule of law in California.
But no, by the very nature of a sanctuary city and state, they have institutionalized what is aiding and abetting in lawbreaking as far as I'm concerned.
And I said to him, how many more Californians will die, be raped, become victims of violent crime at the hands of illegal immigrants before you put aside your political aspirations and you do your job and protect them?
And I said, Gavin, you're the one that needs to do the right thing.
You're the one that needs to protect law-abiding citizens of California.
Focus on them over yourself and your blind rage of President Trump.
He's showing up on MSDNC, showing up all over local media, coming up with, you know, one I hate Trump soundbite after another.
And I said to him, your ambition is a clear threat to their safety.
And then I said, not all about you, Gavin.
And it's not all about him.
Now, remember, Donald Trump is facing a difficult problem.
And that is that law enforcement in California, as a matter of law, because of their sanctuary status that Gavin Newsom himself supported and spoke out on in his very first inaugural address.
We vow sanctuary to all who seek it.
But remember, state and local police officers, they are prohibited from even inquiring about an individual's immigration status during a routine course of their work.
And state and local officers are forbidden from holding illegal immigrants until they can be transferred into federal custody.
Like the judge, you know, walking this guy, ICE is ready to detain him out the back door.
And it's the same exact thing when they should understand that the Constitution has something called the supremacy clause, and that means jurisdiction lies with the federal government.
And anyway, you know, you think about everything that we're witnessing and watching, you know, all of this got started.
Why?
Because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorkas, Gavin Newsom, all of them combined have turned a blind eye and flat out lied to us about the unvetted illegal immigrants coming into our country,
including known terrorists, including Iranian assassination squads, including murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, drug cartels, gang members, drug dealers.
And we now have anywhere between 12 and 20 million unvetted illegals that Donald Trump is trying to get out of the country to protect the law-abiding citizens in this country.
And then add to that the fact that he has $10 trillion in committed investments.
Add to that the biggest tax cuts in history.
Add to that, looking out for working men and women.
If you make between $30,000 and $80,000 a year under the Trump tax cut plan, you're going to be saving a fortune every single year under the Trump plan.
But this all got started after the unrest began, and ICE did their job, which is to apprehend people that didn't respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty.
And the people that they ended up arresting ended up being the worst of the worst, as they said, including they arrested murderers, sex offenders, drug dealers, and gang members.
Now, the problem with all of this is, and this is where anybody with half a brain understands, because Americans have had enough, and Trump is getting his best marks from voters on immigration, a majority saying they believe all or some illegal immigrants should be deported.
Another few research centers of those, you know, one survey, some said 97% agreed people who committed violent crimes need to be forced to leave.
Well, you have to find them.
And that's what they're doing.
Now, Donald Trump has two choices here.
Choice number one is to be reactive and do nothing, knowing that California law enforcement has their hands tied, or he can be proactive like he's being and anticipating the worst and do his best and his part to prevent people from being victims of violent crime.
And he's chosen the latter because that is the best strategy.
ICE was forced to go it alone because of their positions, you know, and because of the handcuffs that sanctuary cities and states put on law enforcement.
And all of these people that have done all of these horrible things, you know, I have a list here in front of me, and we scrolled it, and I'll scroll it again on TV tonight.
You know, all the people, 49-year-old Vietnam, second-degree murder, 55-year-old Philippines, burglary, sexual penetration with a foreign object with force, 55-year-old Mexico, battery on a spouse, willful cruelty to children, assault with a semi-automatic firearm.
44-year-old Mexico, sexual battery.
See a lot of Mexican flags in these protests.
38-year-old Mexico, grand theft, larceny, possession of a prohibited weapon.
I have, let me see, one, two, three, four.
I have five pages of, you know, double-spaced instances of crime.
People from Peru, robbery, murder, distribution, heroin, cocaine from Honduras, you know, conspiracy to transport human trafficking.
Mexican national left a six-year-old son to die in a parked car.
People from the country of Georgia, nationals, burglarizing homes, tying the victims up and beating them to death.
Indian national arrested, charges of assault, deadly weapon, mandalism.
Nicaragua national accused stabbing a man to death.
26 illegals with charges of murder, homicide, assault against children arrested in San Francisco.

Mexican National on ISAS 10 most wanted list arrested in Cavan state of in the city of Santa Ana.
A Canadian national attacking a guy with a hand with Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
A Salvadorian national accused of kidnapping a three-month-old.
Illegal immigrant attempting to rob a family at gunpoint.
All happening in California.

Illegal immigrant killing two people, injuring three more in a stabbing spree.
You know, twice deported Mexican national, convicted sex offender, arrested at the border.
Honduran national convicted of felony sex with a minor.
Illegal immigrant murdered a 19-year-old in Oakland.
Two Mexican illegals shot and killed the sheriff's deputy.
You know, twice deported, Mexican national accused of killing three men, arresting, you know, arrested with drugs.
I mean, do I need to keep going?
Gavin, you know, having a battle with me on X and going on MSDNC.
And then, you know, then the liberal media and Democrats, it's not happening.
Don't believe what your eyes are showing you.
It's not real.
Nothing more real that you've ever seen in your life.
Looking forward.
I know it's a brave thing.
We're going to have such fun.
Every comic today is, you know, PC, left-wing, not funny.
This is going to be irreverent, politically incorrect, frankly, over the top.
I was telling people, look, this is going to be a PG-13, the R-rated show.
After talking to Jimmy every day, it's going to be R. Maybe R plus.
I don't know.
But anyway, hope you can join us if you're in Clearwater, Tampa, if you're in Fort Myers, if you're in Sarasota.
You know, come see us, the Panhandle.
Come on down and see us in Clearwater, Orlando.
Anyway, Ruth Eckert Hall, Saturday, June 28th, 7 o'clock.
The next night, Sunday, June 29th, 7 o'clock, Fort Lauderdale, Broward Center for Performing Arts.
And that would include Fort Lauderdale.
That would be Miami.
That would be Boca.
That would be Delray Beach.
That would be Manalapam, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, anywhere in between.
We hope you can join us.
Tickets available for both events, the 28th, 29th this month at Hannity.com.
Want to remind you, in this day and age, you have to protect yourself.
Now, you have, everyone, in my view, needs a lethal option in that, oh my gosh, this guy wants to kill me and he's about to kill me.
But then you want maybe some situations won't call for lethal force.
How about the option, the choice?
That's what BYRNA.com offers you.
Incredible technology.
That's why over 500 government agencies and police departments and private security firms, they're all adopting this technology because you can incapacitate any perpetrator 30 to 40 minutes.
Watch the videos when you go to byrna.com.
They have now introduced their compact launcher, their CL.
It's four inches long, two smartphones thick, simple to carry without attracting unnecessary attention, fires 400 feet per second, 41 joules of force per square inch.
It fires kinetic rounds and rounds with tear gas and pepper spray.
Perfect.
If you're a woman, you want to put it in your purse.
Guys, you can put it on your hip.
Anyway, and it's all hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Anyway, go to byrna.com, check it out today.
Check out their retail store locator, or they'll just mail it to your house.
I find this fascinating.
We're going to show you the people that we know have been arrested by ICE.
Remember, ICE has jurisdiction in this case.
Remember, under sanctuary state and city policies, local law enforcement is very restricted.
They have handcuffs on them in terms of offering support to ICE agents.
ICE agents came under attack.
ICE agents were being injured.
And that was all happening.
That's why Donald Trump now proved that he did call Gavin in spite of Gavin claiming otherwise.
And these, you know, and in spite of what your eyes are showing you and all the fires and all of the cement blocks being, you know, destroying law enforcement vehicles and being thrown at officers, despite the fact that you have all of these, you know, you have masks and frozen water bottles, they pre-staged, you know, things like bats and fireworks being fired at police officers.
I mean, it is very violent out there.
And, you know, the sheriff of Riverside County, his name is Chad Bianco, said these agitators, they're not protesting.
And then he criticized Gavin Newsom for not taking appropriate action.
He said they're trying to violently influence something by political action.
This is what this is.
That is everything that the Constitution stands against.
Now, that is what law enforcement stands against.
And that is what will facilitate the downfall of our civilized society.
A civilized society has an adherence to the rule of law, and there is consequence for breaking that social compact.
And when politicians encourage this behavior, you know, it's a total breakdown.
And he said Newsom needs to put down his phone.
I just saw on Fox.
He's doing podcasts for crying out loud.
MSDNC, he's having an X fight with me, as if he doesn't have better things to do, like protecting law enforcement and the citizens in his own state.
And anyway, the sheriff said, put your phone down, go sit in your house behind the comfort of your TV screen and be quiet because he's doing nothing but fueling this process.
He needs to stay out of the way of law enforcement.
He knows nothing about this.
He knows absolutely nothing about the enforcement of law.
He despises the enforcement of law and he's encouraged this.
And on FoxNews.com, they had the list of people that were arrested.
And by the way, because local law enforcement, remember, they can't ask the status of somebody they believe to be an illegal.
One guy, 49-year-old Vietnamese national, let's see, previously convicted of second-degree murder, sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after he and his gang member associates were asked to leave a high school graduation and returned with semi-automatic weapons, which they fired into a crowd of 30 partygoers.
Whoopsie daisy.
And you have an, you know, then you have, let's see, two people were killed in that incident.
The Department of Homeland Security said this criminal illegal, you know, is who Governor Gavin Newsome and Mayor Bass and the rioters in Los Angeles are trying to protect.
This is why, you know, these polls are showing a 40-point swing on the issue of immigration towards Donald Trump.
This is why Matt Towery just finished a poll.
He's going to post it any minute, he told me.
59, 39 Americans support Donald Trump's decision to restore order in Los Angeles.
And yes, use the guard.
Then they have other people arrested.
Let's see.
They arrested this guy, previously deported Mexican national, convicted of sex with a minor narcotics violation and a hit and run.
Wow.
And they arrested another guy from Peru, previously convicted of robbery, sentenced to 10 years in prison.
These are really great people that they're arresting.
And they arrested a Colombian national, arrested on administrative, I'm sorry, immigration violations, has prior arrest, charges of domestic battery, child endangerment, assault with a deadly weapon, grand theft, narcotics violations.
And they elected this winner, an Indonesian national, previously convicted, narcotics, DUI, illegal entry charges.
Then ICE arrested a 55-year-old Filipino illegal.
Criminal record includes theft, assault, burglary, sexual penetration with a foreign object with force and assault with the intent to commit rape.
And by the way, facing a 37-year prison sentence.
Then they arrested a Honduran national.
Criminal history includes convictions on charges of domestic violence, heroin, cocaine distribution.
Then they arrested a 26-year-old Mexican illegal, previously convicted of conspiracy to transport illegals from New Mexico.
He was sentenced to prison.
They arrested a 51-year-old illegal from Mexico who has been accused of assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury.
He was sentenced to prison.
Then they arrested another 32-year-old Mexican national, previously convicted of possessing unlawful paraphernalia, possessing controlled substances, assault with a deadly weapon, obstructing a public officer.
Then an Ecuadorian national.
Criminal history, conspiracy to possess, intend to distribute cocaine, and that was in Florida.
I mean, I can keep going.
These are all the people, the worst of the worst.
And I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen more pages that I can go through of people.
These are the people that Gavin's standing up for.
Really?
And Hillary Clinton's calling it peaceful, and Kamala Harris is calling it mostly peaceful.
And Corey Booker says it's peaceful.
Adam Schiff says it's peaceful.
Maxine Waters says it's peaceful.
Unbelievable.
These are now, it's now beginning to spread.
By the way, a dead body that's just breaking has been discovered on a sidewalk near looted by LA rioters.
This is the New York Post reporting this.
I'm just getting this right now as we speak.
Street Baby James handing to me.
Police said a man's body found in an area of Los Angeles where looters targeted businesses after anti-ICE protests evolved into violent riots.
Authorities got a call on the ground 1:30 in the morning regarding a body found on a sidewalk in downtown on West 3rd and Broadway.
Officials have not identified the man, but they're investigating.
It's unbelievable.
We have one more poll.
RMG research: 52% of people in this poll strongly or somewhat approve of Trump's decision to send in the National Guard.
Well, Matt Towery's poll is 59.39.
And in this case, it's 52.42.
7% are not sure.
I don't know about the 7% that aren't sure.
But they're there.
These anti-ICE protests held coast to coast.
Now it's beginning to spread, unfortunately.
You know, New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta.
Great job, Gavin.
Great job, you know, all you sanctuary cities and states.
Great job, Joe.
Great job, Kamala.
Great job, Alejandro.
Great job.
You're really protecting the people.
Then you're upset with Donald Trump, who's trying to restore order and do the job.
It wouldn't have happened had they done their job.
And by the way, the FBI is investigating any evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
Pam Bondi was on with us last night.
She identified the suspect accused of using the concrete brick to assault a federal officer.
You have dozens of anti-ICE rioters arrested.
Finally, rioters with Mexican flags shut down streets.
What is the obsession with the Mexican flag?
I'm trying to understand that part of this because it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Water bottles, bats, fireworks, gas masks, you know, all being handed out or pre-positioned.
Unbelievable.
L.A. burns, and Gavin is spending his day on MSDNC on podcasts and fighting me on X and begging to be arrested and calling Trump names.
His political future is imploding right in front of our face because he thinks he's going to be president.
He's not going to be president.
And if he is, America's doomed.
A stunning video showing riot shields, gas masks handed out to the rioters.
We'll show you that on TV tonight.
California sheriff telling Gavin to stay out of the way.
Get out of the way.
LA rioters calling for the destruction of the U.S. while burning the American flag.
And by the way, Pam Bondi said if you spit at an officer or if there's an attack on even a state or local officer, that there are federal laws that they can charge them in spite of Gavin Newsom's protections.
The FBI is now investigating whether organized efforts are behind this.
A new survey by the Federal Reserve shows, by the way, inflation fears have eased in May.
Well, where's Jerome Powell?
Even John Fetterman blasting his fellow Democrats for failing to condemn the riots.
He said, this is anarchy.
This is chaos.
My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, assaulting law enforcement.
I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration, but this is not that.
Gavin Newsome, Karen Bass have called this, you know, unwarranted.
That's a blatant abuse of power.
Fetterman says, wake up.
These people need to wake up.
ICE was busy arresting the worst of the worst when Democratic-backed rioters attacked them.
Cars burning, agitators attacking the police.
And in the middle of that fake news, CNN and MSDNC and the rest of the media.
Oh, yeah, they're lawful and peaceful.
Kamala Harrison and Hillary Clinton, peaceful, mostly peaceful.
I'm like, these are very strange people if they believe their own garbage.
It really is.
Very strange people.
But I guess that's what they believe.
This is your modern, extreme, radical, democratic, new Green Deal socialist.
This is now a party that has lost touch with the country.
They represent the party of coastal woke elites.
They don't care about working men and women.
They don't want the largest tax cut in history.
They don't want law and order and safety and security.
They won't even champion no tax on tips or overtime.
They don't want energy dominance.
They want to tell you how to live every aspect of your life.
And they're destroying themselves in the process.
Not that I really care because I really don't.
If this is where their mindset is, then let it stay there.
Because in the end, it's not going to be helpful to them.
Anyway, we'll see what happens with all this.
Federal funds to Los Angeles sanctuary cities are on the chopping block.
They have to be.
And by the way, meanwhile, Donald Trump also has to deal with, oh, we learned that Biden's Afghan airlift may have allowed 82 terrorist suspects into the U.S. Trump said hell no to the Iranians' refusal to give up enriching uranium.
That means that anything is possible any day now.
That's a little scary, but I don't think we have any choice.
Oh, and China, our number one geopolitical foe, a Chinese scientist from Wuhan, has been arrested for trying to smuggle bioweapons.
Anyone paying attention to any of this?
Oh, and you are you watching the media?
ABC suspended Terry Moran.
Why?
Because Terry Moran said, oh, Stephen Miller is a man richly endowed with, you know, he's a Trump is a world-class hater.
Now everyone at ABC is furious with him because if they think they had any credibility left, they don't.
Oh, and Humpty Dumpty said, don't believe the riot videos on social media.
They could be hours old.
Are you really that dumb Humpty?
I'm beginning to think you are.
Say it, Linda, three times fast.
Silver palette pasta sauce, silver palate, pasta sauce, silver palette pasta sauce, better than Prego and Rayo.
Okay, you said sauce.
Good job.
Very proud of that New York accent.
Indeed, I am.
Now, from our friends that bring you Grainberry Cereal, which controls sugar and is packed with antioxidants, the healthier choice in your cereal aisle, now you have this is not your average pasta sauce.
Nope.
They use real whole San Marzano and California tomatoes and no added sugar, no junk, clean, honest ingredients, garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil, and delicious.
Family-owned, quality-driven, healthy.
And anyway, don't forget the names when you go to the store: silver palette pasta sauce.
They have classic marinara, low sodium marinara, tomato, basil.
And if you like to make pizza, they have silver palate pasta pizza sauce and they have vodka sauce.
Or if you want to say it like Linda sauce, don't forget the name, silver palate pasta sauce or sauce and grainberry cereal.
Sean Hennedy.
All right, when we come back, we'll have the very latest.
The deputy assistant to the president.
