This isn't iHeart Podcast.
Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be in fire.
How little jail on.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
No one's illegal on stolen land.
No one's illegal on stolen land.
He wants a civil war on the streets of America, not just here.
He's testing the boundaries by nationalizing the Federal Guard.
Listen to the poetry of its contact.
We the people.
We the people.
We're people.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
To your centi.
Don't play out gentlemen saying you a conscious song.
Sean Hannity.
The new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
All right, it is.
They are absolutely positively going nuts.
And things are heating up big time in the Middle East.
We'll have Aaron Cohn and New Kingrich weighing in on this.
Iran has now walked away from the table, and we have discovered uh new information that shows uh, yeah, that they are not going uh they're not following through on the nuclear uh proliferation uh treaty that they agreed to.
We now have article after article that the U.S. is preparing the Mideast embassy evacuations are taking place.
The UK has issued a rare warning for people there as well.
Central Command Chief is postponed to uh Senate testimony.
IDF is on extreme high alert.
Tehran is trying to saber rattle and test some two-ton warhead that they have and threatening to attack U.S. military bases.
They have threatened to hit the continental United States as well.
And uh, but it seems to be, as I've been saying, one minute to midnight, it may be 30 seconds to midnight, uh, by the time all is said and done.
Uh, in one of the Israeli papers, what an Israeli strike might look like.
We'll get into this again later with Aaron Cohn and with Speaker Gingrich.
Uh, they do have one last round of nuclear negotiations scheduled for Sunday.
Um, and that should be interesting to see.
I guess those talks will be held in the Gulf of Oman.
And uh, but clearly everybody in the Middle East is bracing for military action.
And uh, you know, it's an 84% issue when you look at Rasmussen and the president taking out or partnering with Israel to take out their nuclear facilities.
And most people just frankly understand it's simple, basic common sense.
I mean, you have the number one state sponsor of terror, that is Iran.
They have been fomenting terror.
They helped orchestrate with the Cud's forces, the revolutionary guard, the attack on Israel on October 7, 23.
That resulted in the equivalent based on their population side size extrapolated out.
That would be like losing 40,000 Americans in a day.
And so they refuse.
They've been given every opportunity imaginable by the president to have peace.
They choose not to have it.
They're insisting on a nuclear program.
They don't need one for civilian purposes.
And they, according to every source that I have, and I have very, very good sources, they are already at 60% enrichment levels, and it's really then at that point a matter of just a couple of weeks, and they can be at weapons grade enrichment, which is 90%.
And coupled with the fact that they're bragging about these new longer range missiles that they have.
You have to look at those people that have been murder murdering innocent men, women, and children now going on forever and fomenting terror in the region, whether or not you believe in their commitment to death to Israel, death to America, because they have threatened to fire into the continental United States, threatened to attack our country, and what role the U.S. might play in any attack that Israel's involved in.
I don't know, but I do know this that you can blame Joe Biden for the fact that they have become so wealthy, he funded their war machine, just like Western Europe funded Putin's war machine by buying their oil.
Joe Biden turning a blind eye to the sanctions that were bankrupting Iran.
And anyway, another report out today, U.S. is moving to withdraw Middle Eastern personnel because of the rising tensions.
Uh CENCOM commander is presented, according to one report today, top commander U.S. forces in the Middle East says he has provided the President, Secretary of Defense with a series of plans to strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure if necessary.
CBS News reporting that U.S. officials have been told that Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran.
It sounds like it's imminent.
I've not been wrong in what I've been saying.
It's like a minute to midnight.
And the question is the world cannot risk a nuclear armed Iran.
And if some people don't understand that, I can't help them.
Because it's a simple mathematical equation.
The idea that Mullah's believe in killing the infidels, death to Israel, death to America, convert or die, cannot be reasoned with.
And yeah, there are bad actors that have nuclear weapons.
This bad actor to me, we will be risking if we've missed this moment, and again, Joe Biden helped get them rich, which has fomented all this terror with the Houthis and Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah and Hamas.
Uh it is and it is also giving them the money to go deeper into their nuclear program.
And so there go there will be some retaliation.
The IAEA, not they've always been wrong, but they're always wrong in underestimating where Iran is in terms of their nuclear capability.
But anyway, they have pointed out that Iran is in breach of the nonproliferation uh obligations that they have, and then they have most all and many times to me have been, you know, special pleaders for the Iranians.
But the but the idea that the U.S. is going to sit back and not act or allow them to get this weapon, it is a clear and present danger to our country because when they get those weapons of mass destruction, you better believe that they're going to use them.
And it's just not a risk I think anybody can take.
Now, there's a lot of crazy stuff going on.
I I I can't even begin to get all the news in if I wanted to in the course of this program today.
Now, there was an exchange with the least Stefanic and New York governor Kathy Hokel.
If you think Elise Stefanic was great when she took on the presidents of Columbia and Havid and all these Ivy League institutions, I want you to listen to the entire exchange.
This is a verbal beatdown of all beat downs.
Listen.
Raymond Rojas Basilio, do you know who that is?
I'm telling you this.
I will do the policies of New York.
We cooperate with you.
I know you're just specifically ICE would told not to detain this individual.
And he burned a woman alive on the New York subways in Kathy Hokel's New York.
So I will keep on going.
What about Raymond Rojas Basilio?
Do you know who that is?
I'm going to tell you our overall policy, which will address all this.
I'll tell you guys.
We didn't start this in the beginning.
Why don't we go back?
I want you everybody to hear the entire thing.
Because Kathy Hokel, as governor in New York, one of her first acts was to make New York State a sanctuary state.
And she and what does that mean?
It's executive order 170.
And access to state services is critical to the well-being of immigrant communities and their integration into the state.
Whereas New York remains committed to welcoming immigrants as vital and respected members of our state.
And the policy of the state off and state officers or employees shall not require, shall not inquire about an individual's immigration status unless necessary to determine eligibility for a program, a benefit, provision of a service, or disclose information to federal immigration authorities for the purpose of federal civil immigration enforcement unless required by law.
Whereas the state is recognized the interest in maintaining the safety and security of their facilities to ensure the residents have equal access to state programs, benefits.
He's giving everything.
And preventing law enforcement.
Let's play this.
Thank you.
Governor Hochel, on your first day in office, you signed Executive Order 1.
Is that correct?
Believe it is.
And you extended this ex executive order not once, not twice, but three times, most recently, January 16th this year.
Is that correct?
If that's what your facts show, I signed countless executive orders.
I would assume you'd know it's executive order one.
And this is a continuation of your predecessor sanctuary state policies, correct.
Is included in that.
I want to be sure we are defining sanctuary state property.
I'll define it for you.
It is the policy of the state that state officers or or employees shall not disclose information to Federal Immigration Authorities for the purpose of Federal Civil Immigration Enforcement.
It goes on to say law enforcement officers may not use resources, equipment, or personnel for the purpose of detecting and apprehending any individuals suspected or wanted for violating a civil immigration office.
Law enforcement officers have no authority in the State of New York to take any policy action solely because the person is an undocumented alien.
That's a quote in your executive orders that you extend it.
Now, do you know who Sakir A Khan is?
I want to get back to the first part.
No, I'm asking a question.
Do you know who Secur A Khan is?
I want to make sure you understand that this simply says that we will cooperate with ICE.
No, it does not say that.
I read what it says, and let me talk to you about the results.
Do you know who Sakir A Khan is?
You should, as the governor of New York State.
Do you know?
Refresh my recollection.
He was an illegal migrant in New York.
And do you know what crime he committed in addition to being here illegally?
No, I do not.
You do not.
This was widely reported.
He found a 15-year-old girl, threatened her with a metal pole, told her to get into the back seat of his car, he took her clothes off, and he violently raped her in Albany, New York.
Do you know who Sebastian Zapita Khalil is?
I'm sure you'll tell me.
There's many cases, whether there's a These are high-profile cases.
New Yorkers know about them, and you don't.
So let's talk about Sebastian Zapita Khalil.
Do you know who that is?
I don't have the specific details at my disposal, no.
Well, this is an illegal migrant in New York because of your sanctuary state policies.
Do you know what crime he committed?
I'm not familiar at this moment.
I bet you're going to be familiar when I remind you.
He found a sleeping woman on the subway, lit her on fire, and burnt her alive.
This is in Kathy Hochel's New York.
And as I'm sure you are aware, and I'll remind you that ICE issued an order to detain this violent criminal, but that was rejected by New York officials due to sanctuary state laws.
Now, do you know who Raymond Rojas Basilio is?
I just want to say this.
These crimes are horrific.
Because of your because of your sanctuary state policies.
In all of these cases, we would work with ICE to read.
You did not in this case.
They are walking on the streets because of your policies and your executive order that you signed three times.
Now, Raymond Rojas Basilio, do you know who that is?
I'm telling you this.
I will not do this.
We cooperate with the.
I know you're just going to be able to do that.
You do not have to do that.
You do not specifically ICE would told not to detain this individual, and he burned a woman alive on the New York subways in Kathy Hochel's New York.
So I will keep on going.
What about Raymond Rojas Basilio?
Do you know who that is?
I'm going to tell you our overall policy, which will address all this.
I'll tell you who that is.
He is an illegal who molested an 11-year-old in our state because again of your sanctuary state policies.
This illegal was shielded from federal immigration enforcement and able to commit this heinous crime.
And what about Wilson Castillo Diaz?
Do you know who that is?
I am telling you this.
We do cooperate fully with ICE in criminal prosecutors.
Our sanctuary.
You're not advocating for these victims.
This is a five-year-old who was raped.
On Long Island in Nassau County.
You are not advocating on behalf of these victims.
You are shielding illegals.
Even in your opening statement, that is.
Rapes of young girls, beatings of NYPD cops by illegals who are here under Kathy Hochel's failed policies, burning New Yorkers alive.
This is Kathy Hochel's New York.
It's one of many, the many reasons why you're hemorrhaging support from hardworking degrees.
These are horrific crimes and their heartbreaking.
They're committed on your watch.
You sign this executive order on your first day in office.
You sign it again and again this January.
We deserve a governor who stands up for law abiding New Yorkers, doesn't put illegals first, but actually puts New Yorkers first.
I appreciate it.
Rather than going after the viral moment, I suggest you.
No, no, no.
I'm I'm standing up for New Yorkers.
Rather than addressing the illegals in New York, you are prioritizing your far left sanctuary state policies, which you put in place with executive orders.
Instead of advocating victims of five year old who is cooperate with us.
You did not.
They were released because of Sanctuary State Policies in New York State.
No amount of words is going to clean up your failed record and these horrific crimes committed in Sanctuary State that you created.
And with that idea.
Wow.
Elise Tefonic.
That was incredible.
Then we had another incredible moment we'll get to in the course of the show, too, where uh a representative Brandon Gill stumps Illinois Governor Pritzker.
And then we had Byron Donald's take on tampon Tim Walls and took him down.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Then Christy Gnome was holding a press conference, and a California Democratic Senator, Alex uh Padilla, uh crashed the press conference, ends up getting handcuffed.
Apparently they Christy Gnome then granted him a meeting and she said it was fine, but they could have put him in jail.
I mean, the left has gone nuts.
Every sanctuary city-state governor can be asked all those questions.
That's what I was doing with Gavin Newsom in my ex-fight that he never addressed.
And nobody in the media because they're too busy saying mostly peaceful ever asked about the victims.
Ever.
That their policies have cost.
800, 941 Sean.
All right, so we have a California Senator Padilla, just you know, rushes in and crashes uh Christy Nome's press conference.
We'll play that.
We got Byron Donald's.
I mean, just absolutely eviscerating uh Tim uh Walls today.
I I mean it it's it's like uh there must be something in the air.
I have no idea.
Uh we'll play a lot of this when we get back as well.
Um, and also you have Congressman Brandon Gill just stumping the Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, confronting him with his own words.
It's like the best of beatdowns of the left and and radical left, uh, all coming up in the course of the program.
Also will examine it, looks like some conflict with Israel and Iran is imminent.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Hope you'll join.
I don't know why I'm getting on stage with Jimmy Phaylor.
He's getting funnier by the hour.
Uh anyway, Clearwater, Florida, Saturday, June 28th, 7 p.m., Ruth Eckert Hall.
That's Tampa, that's Clearwater, that's Sarasota, Fort Myers.
Uh, that also includes the Panhandle Orlando.
Come see us.
This is going, you know, every other comic is politically correct or just completely left-wing, radical Trumpeting.
Uh, and they're not funny uh as represented by late night comics.
So we're we're gonna be irreverent.

It's gonna be patriotism and fun leading into the Fourth of July.
Uh the next night, Sunday, June 29th, Fort Lauderdale, that's Miami.

Uh, there's, I don't know how to define it.
Just all crazy to be very honest with you.
We're living in crazy times.
We just played Elise Stefano.
What a beatdown that was.
It was, honestly, in all the time I've been doing this, I mean, between her beatdown of these Ivy League institution presidents and what she did to the New York governor today, it was unbelievable.
And J.B. Pritzker, arrogant governor that he is from Illinois, another sanctuary state.
Anyway, uh we had uh representative Congressman Brandon Gill just pummeling him about an ex post he put up about everybody should you know use the opposite sexes bathrooms today.
Listen to this.
Do you think men should be allowed in women's restrooms?
I'm not sure why this the this has come to this issue.
Everyone should use the other genders bathroom today.
Have you ever used the women's restroom?
Uh not that I can recall ever.
You wanted everybody else to do it, but you didn't.
Sir, I I'm not sure why we're on a topic that hasn't been.
I'm asking you you're advocating for men to use women's restrooms, but you didn't do it.
I I do not advocate that, no.
You uh well, actually you did.
You said everyone should use the other genders bathroom today.
I can tell you that you are criticizing this in a way that what we ought to be focusing on is that the case is.
Do you regret your encouraging men to use women's restrooms?
And the Congress to deal with immigration reform.
Do you do you regret encouraging men to use women's restrooms?
Uh again, we you're taking us on topics that have been.
Did you ever consider that women don't want gender?
I mean, the guy put it up on X today.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Now we got another beat down.
This is Byron Donald's taking on Tampon Tim on the issue of comparing ICE agents to Gestapo.
Listen.
You said earlier that the ICE agents under under the orders of President Trump or a modern day Gestapo.
Do you realize how disgusting a phrase that is considering the history of Nazi Germany?
Would you like to recant that statement?
What I said, Congressman, and I have a long history of supporting law enforcement.
I said President Trump was using them as his modern day Gestapo, not identifying who you are, coming up in unmarked vans, taking people away and giving it.
Is it the responsibility of ICE to actually deport illegal aliens in the United States who are here?
Isn't that their responsibility?
Yes, it is, Congressman, except that the Constitution is not an inconvenience.
It's not an either or something.
Somebody said an ingenious, he have a responsibility to deport illegal aliens.
And the president is going through that process right now.
And let's be very clear.
They abused every process there is under border laws to allow more than 10 million people into the country illegally.
And this is a burden on all Americans.
And so the president is doing his job.
So it is sick to refer to Americans who are ICE agents as Gestapo.
Governor, you're wrong.
You need to apologize to these agents.
They're doing their jobs.
They are Americans.
They serve this country with honor and decency and respect.
Do not diminish their work simply because you tried to make a cheap point that you could tweet.
I yield back.
I, it was just another beat down.
And then anyway, DHS secretary, no, She was uh just on Fox and explain what had happened.
Anyway, a guy comes in the room and starts uh being disruptive and screaming questions at the secretary.
Nobody knows who the guy is.
She even said I had no idea who this guy was.
Nobody knew.
Turns out he's a California senator.
And he crashed the press conference and was disruptive, and then uh and was moving in a aggressive way to to do the questioning, and he was removed.
And then they found out who he was and and they didn't arrest him.
And then Christy Noam graciously gave the guy 10, 15 minutes, sat down, exchanged phone numbers, and said, if you have any questions, let me know.
Then he goes out and he does a press conference saying that, well, what about all the innocent people that have been I have a list of the crimes of the people that ICE has been arresting in Los Angeles?
People guilty of homicide, burglary, drug uh uh drug dealing, uh, lewd actions with children, battery, lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 uh uh people that are involved in injuring,
you know, their spouses, spousal abuse, drug trafficking, drug manufacturing, weapons possessions, human smuggling, grand theft, uh threatening crime with intent to terrorize and battery.
Those are the people that have been arrested, and you know, nobody wants to talk about well, the little children are being no, they're not the ones that are the target of IC.
They're not.
And they're trying to get these people off the streets, and that's why people by larger margins, the you know, realize this is an absolute mess that has been created by these sanctuary states.
And I'll tell you, and now we are all of this could have been avoided if Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Alejandro Mayorcis would have enforced the laws of our country.
If they didn't like the laws of our country, they could have changed the laws in our country, but that wasn't an option for him.
And, you know, as a result, we have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, Iranian assassination squads in our country.
Thanks to all of them.
And then you try to remove them.
This is outrageous.
Let's have a protest.
And then because of sanctuary state policies and and laws and proclamations and executive orders, well, local police department have handcuffs on, and they're not even allowed to uh assist ICE agents, federal agents, the supremacy clause gives them jurisdiction, and they have no support from local police as per California New York law.
And it's insane.
And other states that have these sanctuary policies.
You know, the the all these people that have been so obsessed.
January 6th, January 6th, January 6th.
They're the same people.
This is why I say selective, feigned, phony, moral outrage.
They act like they care about one riot while they ignored the 574 riots in the summer of 2020.
That's why I won't let it go.
It is just utter hypocrisy.
Compare January 6th, mention it all you want.
Donald Trump, peacefully, patriotically march so your voices will be heard.
He didn't try to commandeer the beast when they talked to the driver, so they bring in some hearsay witness.
Well, I heard that he tried to commandeer the beast, but the driver said no, he didn't.
They knew about it.
No wonder why they destroyed all of the evidence that they had gathered in that case.
That wasn't an accident.
And why they all got preemptive pardons because what they did was phony.
It was staged.
They had a predetermined outcome.
And if Liz Cheney cared about writing, why didn't she have committee hearings about 574 riots in the summer of love in 2020 that killed two dozen Americans, injured thousands of cops, and also resulted in billions of dollars in property damage.
Oh, I guess that would be too much to ask to actually enforce the real laws of our country.
Now we are learning, and by the way, this guy Padilla was released.
He's a ranking member out there, the Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee.
And he didn't need to bur bust in.
Why didn't he just request the meeting?
He got one anyway.
Anyway, Noam had a 10 to 15 minute meeting with Padilla.
They swapped phone numbers.
It was cordial.
And she said she's willing to hear anybody out.
By the way, the FBI has arrested an alleged LA riot leader, they say helped distribute those dozens of face shields to anti-ICE rioters on the streets of uh Los Angeles.
No help, thanks, by the way, to Gavin Newsom and company.
You know, after tolerating repeated riots by pro-Palestinian protesters in New York, Eric Adams says he won't tolerate this weekend's planned anti-ICE riots.
I know he wants to get re-elected.
It's a little late.
He went too far for too long, cost the city too much, and now he will be voted out and welcome in Andrew Cuomo.
Because he will take his place.
Good luck, New York City.
Uh, and and that's just the way it's gonna go.
But I'm gonna tell you something.
You know, the talking points have gone out, and the state-run legacy media mob, the radical left Democratic Party, they're all telling America Donald Trump is a dictator.
He's terrible.
Democracy imperil.
Uh, and don't believe the violence that you see on television.
It might have happened a couple hours ago.
It's happening day in and day out.
They're planning these demonstrations in 35 cities.
They're uh over the weekend on Saturday night.
God help us.
You hear the smear, the slander, the besmirchment all over the place.
You know, but the Democrats caused this.
If they weren't, they never called out Biden and Kamala Harris, and Mayorcus's lie.
No, they the media called them cheap fake videos.
Democrats, oh, they're cheap fake videos.
Yeah, just like Joe wasn't a cognitive mess, and just like inflation was transitory, that border was secure.
They're mostly peaceful riots.
They're just lying again.
You know, their reasoning is insane.
You know, w what what's the definition of insanity?
And that's doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
If you want to know why Democrats lost, why the legacy media mob died on November 5th on election day in 2024, it's because they're the same people that lied and said the border was secure.
The same people that said Joe was his absolute best cognitively and hard to keep up with.
You must be in really bad shape.
The same people that said inflation's transitory, the same people that said mostly peaceful in the summer of 2020, and they're saying the same thing now.
Donald Trump is enforcing America's immigration laws.
ICE is doing its job.
They're not getting help from their sanctuary states and cities.
Democrats don't care.
They have put they have put their left-wing radical political agenda even above the safety of law enforcement and the safety and security of their own lawful citizens.
And it didn't and blind ambition in the case of Gavin Newsom.
Instead of spending the the first few days of the LA riots actually on the ground helping keep people safe.
No, he's fighting with people like me and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen on X, appearing on every left-wing legacy media outlet in the country like MSDNC.
He's even going on podcasts.
I'm not talking about Joe Rogan or somebody that actually has a big audience.
You know, it's um the governor that barred Californians from attending church, banned indoor singing in 2020, and himself was eating out at the French laundry and sending his kids to in-person learning at his private schools while all public schools had remote learning.
Oh, Donald Trump is assaulting the First Amendment.
No, he's not.
He's enforcing the law of the land.
Learn about the supremacy clause.
Jurisdiction lies with the feds.
As a matter of law in these cities and and states that are sanctuary, they are not allowed.
Local law enforcement is not allowed to help them.
Never mind.
Nobody in the media will ever dare ask Gavin as he's out there trashing Trump 24-7.
Give him the specific examples that we have laid out on this radio show and on TV of Californians that have been murdered and raped and victims of violent crime and protected and given free health care and education because of Gavin's institutionalizing, aiding and abetting these people.
I mean, what do people want?
Seventy percent of Americans disapprove of Democrats.
Chucky Schumer has a 17% approval rating.
Matt Towery pointed out by a margin of 59 to 39, people support Donald Trump's decision to send in the guard.
What do people want?
Good schools for their kids, stable jobs.
They want law and order.
They want safety and security.
They don't want we don't want to be told what cars to put in our driveway, what stoves we can and cannot use, refrigerators, AC units.
You know, we don't want paper straws.
We want a secure border, law and order, safety, security, and freedom.
Leave us alone and lower taxes, please, especially in California.
President Trump warning of a potential Israel-Iran conflict.
Uh things are heating up.
Uh, we have Americans being uh uh removed from the area, uh, which means it seems somewhat imminent.
That would probably be an attack on the nuclear facilities or at least a shot across the bow.
We'll have an update on that.
We'll check in with Aaron Cohn, Newt Gingrich next.
