Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Here is our toll-free number.
We're going to take calls for the hour.
800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Linda was off yesterday because it was her 21st birthday and she's been with me 20 years.
I was not off for my birthday, nor would I ever be so ridiculous of a celebrate a birthday with a day off.
I am an adult.
That is not something we do after the age of give you 18, and even that's pushing it.
Why are you so sensitive of the fact that I'm trying to wish you a happy birthday?
You're not wishing me a happy birthday.
You're trying to say I have to be a big thing.
Happy birthday.
I said yesterday to you happy birthday.
And then you complain.
How do you know I worked all that?
How do you know that it's my birthday?
You worked all day by choice.
I I purposefully bypassed you.
You find out from Ethan.
I hope people are sitting in a cinder block because the lightning is going to strike through the glass.
What did I do?
No, you you wrap me out.
He changed the show.
I did not tell her a thing.
I don't think it's a few.
Oh, really?
How did she find out you changed the show?
Listen, on my eyes, on my ice.
Uh he did not tell me anything.
Do you know who texted me?
You want to know who texted me?
Newt Gingrich.
Now go after New York.
Ethan, it was new.
That's right.
It was Newt Gingrich.
And he was like, I'm really sorry.
And Sean's changing everything.
I said, Oh, is he really?
Let me give Sean a quick call.
Why don't you on your birthday and on your day off?
Why don't you just worry about being off and being present with your family instead of instead of the biggest thing?
I sat on the floor of the location in which you're going to be able to do that.
You ever hear of a few back in the college?
Have you heard the term control?
Have you ever heard of the term stick with the plan?
Does that does that phrase exist in your world?
Okay, we never stick with the plan.
We change the planet.
Oh, no, we stick with the plan until I take a day off.
Then we change it 37 times.
Oh my gosh.
I gotta I gotta hang out with you in Alaska.
Thank God I'm I'm in a different hotel.
You know, it's very cold in Alaska.
Very cold.
You're gonna be free.
Was it gonna be cold in Anchorage this week?
Yes, it's 45 degrees.
No way.
You're cold in 78 degrees.
You're a proper snowbird.
I live in the free state of Florida.
My blood is thin by now.
I've been here a long time.
I'm loving it.
Well, you're gonna be cold this week, brother.
What do you think?
A little caribou, maybe?
You want to try it?
No.
What do you mean no?
First of all, I was a vegetarian for 12 years.
I'm barely back getting into red meat as it is.
Be delicious.
You know, you never know.
You might like it.
You know, most people when they went to a place like a layascope be like, oh, let's go see the sites.
You're like, let's eat the first large animal we can find.
What's the matter with you?
There's a lot of great fish there, and King Crab legs are on.
All right.
Well, this is the oddest thing though, because I've been to 49 states, and there's only one state I haven't been to, and I'm going there this week, and that's Alaska.
And the thing is, is everybody, anyone that's listened to the show for any period of time knows I'm obsessed with Alaska.
I I love the show Life Below Zero.
I cannot believe people live in this frozen tundra in the wilderness, living off the land, off the grid, and they're completely independent.
And you know, God help you as your general.
You could never live off the grid.
I you text the case.
I said I admire the people that do.
I have no desire to live in the middle of a frozen tundra alone, uh, having a fix everything myself and living off the land and going out in you know, sub-zero temperatures hunting for you know whatever I might be able to find on any given day and worried about worrying about polar bears coming into my house.
No, thank you.
I think you and Linda should go on a fishing trip in Alaska and work the same.
No, I don't think we should go on a fishing trip in Alaska.
You go on the fishing trip with her in Alaska.
You good luck to you.
Ethan is quite the connoisseur of all things fishing.
I do.
Okay, you know who else is my son.
He drives me nuts because he does he does spear fishing and he goes down.
He does he can dive down 40 feet and it freaks me out.
It drives driving me a board.
He's he's diving with a spear.
Why can't he use a rod like everybody else?
He's doing free diving with a spear gun, right?
He does he does free diving, but I don't like the I mean, now he goes out with a professional and it's all his friends, and they go down there.
I mean, I have you should see the fish they caught last weekend.
It's crazy.
The lobsters, they just pick them up.
It's insane.
And I just don't you know how far down, let's start at 20 feet, 25 feet, and then you have to find the fish, then you have to catch the fish, all the while you're holding your breath.
It's not like you have an oxygen tank on.
And he loves to do it, then he loves to come back and he loves to cook for everybody.
And he got that from his father.
And he's good.
He honestly, he's very, very good.
Because remember, we used to have our Father Sunday.
We used to call him.
You used to do that with both your kids, yeah, for your daughter and your son.
Yeah, a Daddy Daughter Day and you know, Father Sunday, we used to call it.
And for Daddy Daughter Day, that was a little more difficult because I'd let my daughter pick one store at the mall, one, and I'd give her 10, maybe 15 minutes to get whatever she wanted.
One store.
And then she'd go in there, and she was like kind of naive.
I mean, until one day I took a friend of hers with her, and then the girls takes like a shopping cart and starts dumping everything into it from the store into the shopping cart, but she you know, she would agonize over picking one one item, and I'd be like, You got two minutes, sixty seconds, thirty seconds.
And then I'd say, Okay, well, then now we can go out to eat.
And for like 10 years of my life, I had to go to Subway.
Every time we we had Daddy Daughter Day.
And I'm like, honey, we can eat like we can have steak, we can go to you know, get lobster, we can get that.
No, she wanted to go to Subway.
I'm traumatized.
I don't know.
There's nothing more calming and relaxing than going out with a dad who wants to spend time with you, and the entire time he has a stopwatch.
That just sounds like heaven on earth.
No, that's only for one part of Daddy Daughter Day.
Yeah, the multiplexing part where someone's supposed to be taking care of you and giving you like a pampered service, and you're like, okay, speed it up, let's go.
Well, I got in trouble once because I I we used to take my daughter to get you know manicures and pedicures and all that stuff, and it drove me crazy.
Do you know how long it takes to get a manny and petty?
Oh my gosh.
It is it is I can't.
It is a process.
Thank God I was born a man.
I would never want to do that.
And so the first time I took her, it took like an hour and a half, and I'm like, it's torture.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm the only guy, and then they're begging me, Well, do you want to get your feet done?
And I'm like, no.
Nobody's touching my feet.
And they go, No, they then they walk me over, and you're supposed to put your feet in a like a tub, and then they rub your feet, and then they remove the calluses and then all that.
I'm like, that's not a guy thing to me.
I'm not, by the way, judging people like Ethan that do this.
I'm perfectly.
They're just naturally smooth.
I mean, you know.
Okay, so then I the next time I went, I said, I'm gonna be smart.
I'm gonna ask to hire two people to make it go twice as fast.
One person do one side or one person do the feet, one people, one person do the hand.
Then when I got to up to three people, because it did go twice as fast, and my daughter walks out and she said, Dad, can we not do that again?
It's really embarrassing.
Uh Sean New Joycey.
What's up, Sean?
How are you, sir?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, how are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Take him.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh, as I told your screeners, we've crossed paths many times out in the Badlands of Long Island.
Um where do we cross paths?
Uh the HCC WC.
I I coached your son in hockey.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I remember.
And then he broke his leg and then he stopped playing hockey, and then he got into tennis.
I I think the first time I actually met you in person, I was dressing him for practice, and you walked in, and like, oh Jesus.
But I I was invited to one of your Christmas parties, and uh there's other things that happened, which I don't need to bring up.
But um, if I may endure Whoa, whoa, whoa, what other things that happen that you you can't bring up or you don't want to bring up?
No, I'll bring him up if you want to listen.
I mean, uh, I'm The guy that tried to take over the New York Islanders and see if you were interested in being a part of it.
Um with I do remember that.
By the way, I seriously did consider it.
Yeah, with Patty L and the late Clark, who I loved.
Um they're in good hands now, but you're a Florida Panther fan now, so that would have been tricky.
I'm a big time Florida Panther fan.
I got seasons tickets.
I wish I can go to more games.
And they re-signed everybody.
Two times Stanley Cup champions.
I think they got a great shot next year of being, you know, to tr uh to get a third one in a row.
I I think the Islanders are starting to get their act together, but we'll see.
I think you're dreaming.
Obviously.
I think we should buy it and fix it.
First thing I do is hire the Kachuk brothers, but you know.
Yeah, no, I'm in construction now.
I was one of the Wall Street people that you loathe, but I did make an honest living on Wall Street.
Um, may I indulge, I have an anniversary today.
My forever fiance Meredith, it's our fifth anniversary.
And uh her great kids were excited that I might be talking to you, Sean, Cole, and Bridget.
But anyway, um Well, happy happy anniversary to them, and uh congratulations, our best wishes and prayers for everybody.
Yeah, thank you.
We both did the 25-year marriage sentence, and now we're happy.
Um I'm calling about uh Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Um earlier on in my my new life, uh I had an opportunity to go to a project in Baku.
And it is a stunningly beautiful city and country, and actually Trump has a course there, Trumpaku.
And I was sitting at dinner with the defense minister and like 13 other Russians who didn't speak English, and I didn't realize where I was until he told me we were sitting in his palace looking down towards the Caspian Sea.
He's like, You realize that 40 miles to your right is Iran, and 85 miles to your left is Russia.
You're gonna jump over Imenia and a small country of Georgia.
Now we really have no need for either of those two countries, but for Trump to bring them together after 40 years of terrorism and infighting is amazing.
And no one's really talking about it too much because I don't think they understand where it is.
But to have a friendly beachhead between Iran and Russia, I think is another great achievement.
In hockey terms, you know, Trump's getting at the blue line, firing pucks into the back of the net every day.
This one kind of no one took notice of.
Well, I gave the list earlier in the week of all of the examples of peace that Donald Trump has brought to the world.
And it's it's actually pretty amazing.
I mean, you have India Pakistan.
Remember, they were they were on the verge of a major conflict.
President Trump involved himself, Israel, Iran, Rwanda, the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia.
You mentioned Armenia, Azerbaijan, and don't forget Egypt and and Ethiopia.
Um, I think those, you know, and if you really want to go back, uh, you could look at, you know, what he did with the Abraham Accords, and that would include Israel and Bahrain and Israel in uh Morocco, Israel and Sudan, Israel in the UAE.
I mean, add all of that together.
I mean, a lot of people wouldn't put at the top of their list.
Anyway, uh, I appreciate the call, my friend.
Thank you.
800-941 Sean is our number.
Listen, everybody needs safety and security, and you know, there might be an occasion where you have no choice, you need lethal force, but there are other occasions where non-lethal protection is warranted.
And that's where the technology of BYRNA.com comes in.
Please look at their videos online.
Please understand why Burner now is trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
Those tasers, I never like them.
That's close quarters.
You can hit a target 50, 60 feet away in capacitate any attacker for 30 to 40 minutes.
I own a number of them.
I give them away as gifts all the time.
And the beauty of burner is it's legal in all 50 states.
You don't need a permit.
You don't need a background check.
It has powerful deterrence, tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds.
And right now they have their all-new uh compact launcher, smallest to date, four inches long, two smartphones thick.
It's easy to conceal carry on your body without attracting unnecessary attention.
Ladies, you can put it in your purse.
Guys, you can throw it in a holster and you're good to go.
Anyway, watch the videos and see if this technology, now adopted by government agencies, police departments, and private security firms, may not be able to one day maybe protect you and your family.
Anyway, I have both lethal and non-lethal force burner, BYRNA.com.
Check it out today, and also look at your local sportsman warehouse location.
All right, quick break back to our phones.
800-941 Shauna's on number as we continue straight ahead.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941 Shawn if you want to be a part of the program.
Brandon in Alabama.
What's up, Brandon?
How are you?
Where in Alabama are you?
Hey, Sean.
Uh, I live in Winfield.
One county open Mississippi line.
Yeah, what's going on?
Glad you called.
I lived in Huntsville for two years.
I had a great time.
Oh, yeah.
It's uh really a great city, and it's growing by leaps and bounds.
First of all, I wanted to um tell Linda uh happy belated birthday.
Linda loves when people celebrate her birthday.
Loves it.
It's her 22nd birthday, is it not?
It is indeed.
I don't know.
Thank you.
How many years have you worked for me?
Two.
That's why I'm 22.
I think the numbers you started when you were two, because you were you've been with me for 20 years.
I know, but I identify as somebody who's worked for you for 20 years that I've been triggered in the next one.
I'm only 22.
This it's this is how we get to things in 2025.
All right.
Brandon, what's going on?
I wanted to call uh and talk to you um about the guy that called that did his manifesto on Friday's show.
I like to burn my battery up trying to uh trying to call the y'all your radio station.
And I've been listening to your show for since 2006.
I've never heard you say one word about hate speech ever to anybody.
I mean I don't hate people.
I'm a I'm a Christian.
I believe you need to love everybody.
I think a lot of people are stupid and I don't like their ideas, and I think they're dangerous, but that doesn't mean that I hate them.
Right.
Even a drunk monkey could have heard that uh he was reading a manifesto uh that somebody's pay printed off or somebody give to him.
It made no sense.
But listen, Rush identified these people as seminar callers, and when somebody starts reading, it it usually is a sign that they have a script.
And once I started to have a conversation and challenged him to give me examples, he didn't have any.
And if if if somebody does have a genuine criticism of me, um, and they're correct, um, I'll listen and I will always want to be better, and I'll try to make the adjustments so I can make people happy and do a better show.
I'm all for it.
Brandon, God bless you, man.
Glad you're out there.
Uh, God bless Alabama.
Uh roll tide, sir.
800-941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Jimmy Kimmel, I guess maybe he's thinking about Jimmy Kimmel, must know.
He's gotta know.
His audience is lower than Colbert's.
He's got to know that he's officially on cancellation watch.
And it might surprise people.
I don't take great joy in people's shows getting canceled, except that it's obvious why these shows are getting canceled.
They're getting canceled because of massive audience attrition, number one.
Number two, they're supposed to be comedy shows, and they're not funny.
And number three, they're losing the networks they work for.
In the case of Colbert, 40 plus million dollars a year.
That is not sustainable.
And I know it's a simple, quick, cheap way to blame Donald Trump.
Donald Trump had nothing to do with Stephen Colbert's firing.
And it's just the typical lazy argument.
So it sounds like Himmel, when he went on with Sarah Silver Silverman, is that her name?
Um, went on.
Do you know who she is?
I have no clue who she is.
Yeah, I do actually.
Who is she?
She's a comedian, very liberal, but she was also the voice and wreck it rough of the girl.
Which is a carton.
If she's liberal and funny, I can live with liberal and funny.
She's not as funny as she thinks she is.
That's for sure.
You know what's good about, for example, I was watching Bill Maher, and I don't know why I was watching this.
Bill Maher in his Club Random podcast was interviewing Drew Drew Barrymore.
And the headline was something that he he had said about the view and why the ladies of the view are not a good representation for women, and that kind of caught my attention, so I started watching the podcast.
He's just kind of an interesting guy, and he's got a level of honesty that I find interesting.
I also think at times he's funny.
I also think at times he's got you know at least a level of honesty that Trump is not Satan the way these late-night hosts.
Anyway, so um, and I think the same thing about Jon Stewart.
I think John Stewart is smart.
I think Jon Stewart can be very funny.
Whoever picked Stephen Colbert over Jon Stewart for CBS was out of their mind.
That was a bad choice in my view.
And Stewart doesn't like me either.
None of these people like me, but he's made fun of me, and I've laughed at it.
I don't care if you're liberal, but be liberal and funny.
Now, the idea that you're only going to be liberal and you're gonna alienate half the country because people don't want your constant obsessive compulsive Trump derangement syndrome, and that that's your basically your whole topic every day, and you sit around in a room and you have a hundred writers, and that's all you can come up with.
I mean, you're not funny.
It gets old really quick.
Anyway, so Kimmel sounds like he knows he's defeated and is talking in this podcast about he uh how he has Italian citizenship and sounds like he's ready to move because he's so afraid Donald Trump is coming after him.
The irony of all of this is the people that that were gone after unfairly were all people associated with Trump, but not one of these people ever spoke out and said, you know what?
This has got to stop.
You know what?
The valuation of Mar-a-Lago is wrong.
You know what?
They didn't raid Hillary Clinton's house or office, they didn't raid Joe Biden's house or office.
Uh and Donald Trump was president, and and he has more of a right legally to top secret classified information than both of them combined, you know, with the presidential records act.
But they didn't care.
They didn't care that the statute of limitations had run out on a misdemeanor, and that was the legal non-disclosure agreement that somehow they created a novel legal theory with 34 felony counts.
Nobody on the left cared.
And anyway, he says, I I guess to me, when I hear him here, he sounds like he's surrendering and acknowledging that his days are are numbered.
Um a lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get um uh um citizenship and I do have Italian I did get Italian citizenship.
You do?
Oh, that's amazing.
I do have that.
And what's going on is uh is as bad as you thought it was gonna be.
Way worse.
It's so much worse.
It's just unbelievable.
Like I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.
I don't even know what that means.
I think they have so convinced themselves and have lived in this state of Trump derangement syndrome for so long, they don't know any other way out of it.
I don't think that it's almost like the left in America's cheering for the country to fail because they don't want Donald Trump to be successful.
I actually would have liked it if Joe Biden was successful.
I wish Joe Biden didn't dump 12 to 20 million unvetted illegals on the country.
I wish she would have been able to fix the economy.
I wish Kamala, I wish they didn't force the Green New Deal on us, DEI on us, woke politics on us.
It's just the philosophical difference.
I never I have never heard of this Jennifer Welch person.
You know this former Bravo star.
Do you know who she is?
Because I don't know who she is either.
Bravo is like the network of reality TV, so I avoided it at all costs.
So you don't like to watch any of the Housewife shows?
None of that.
No, I never have.
I think it's I really wear it as a badge of honor.
Mm-mm.
No.
I'm also very I mean, you can ask anyone on our team.
I'm very, very bad with like movies, television.
I basically just watch news, and then if the kids are in the room, like cartoons or one of their things, but I don't know any of that stuff.
So the idea that conservatives believe that you should you should come into the country legally, not illegally, respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty, and the fact that that people that didn't respect our laws, border and sovereignty are now going to be deported, especially criminal illegal immigrants.
Now, among the people are known terrorists and we know about murderers and rapists and other violent criminals and cartel members and gang members and drug dealers, you would think that every liberal would want to get rid of them, but new.
Anyway, she thinks that it's all based on race.
I happen to be of the view, I don't care where you come from.
I've said this many, many times.
As long as you come into the country legally, we have an opportunity to do a background check to make sure you don't have radical connections, a health check in a post-COVID world, and that you're not going to be a financial burden on the American people.
You come in legally, and I don't care where you come from, then I would say to you, welcome to our family.
And I'd welcome people with open arms and I wish them the best and enjoy your shot of freedom and and I wish you all of God's blessings.
But the left takes opposition to you know, just you know, uh to not accepting all the ten the tens plus million 20 million unvetted illegals as racism.
And this is what she says.
I've had it with um white people that triple trapped, yeah, that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant.
I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but cracker barrel.
Get your father to cracker barrel.
I like Chinese and Mexican food.
But I love cracker barrel more, so I'm okay with the I'm okay with that.
But also, to that point, how disgusting of her to say that all restaurants that are Chinese and Mexican are owned and operated by people who broke the law.
I know plenty of people who have come here legally from places like China, like Mexico, from Latin America, that have beautiful restaurants in New York City and other places in the country, and they came here illegally and they built that restaurant on blood, sweat, and tears.
So now she's saying she wants them to go broke because half of the population, or even more than that, don't like liberalism and they're the audacity of these audacity to go in there and patronize these these places.
And she can speak for herself because I for as far as I'm concerned, I'm in good shape.
You know what I mean?
Everything is predicated on this ridiculous notion that that conservatives are racist, and that's their reason for opposition to not grant you know blanket amnesty to people that we never even vetted that didn't respect our laws.
You know what the promise is.
I mean, that should be a prerequisite.
If you want to come to the country, you've got to first our laws.
You gotta come here legally.
You've when you come here illegally, you are saying, hey, guess what?
I don't give a rip about your laws.
And not only do I not give a rip, but the liberals in your country are going to give me free room and board and credit cards and cell phones, and they're gonna pay me under the table because they believe in slave labor.
That's what's happening.
Instead of saying, hey, I'd love you to come here, I'd love you to come here legally, and I would love you to contribute and benefit because that's how this country works and was built.
John in Connecticut, what's up, John?
How are you?
I'm very good.
How are you?
Big fan of yours.
Thank you, my friend.
What's going on?
Well, the reason I called is because I think Fox is given uh Mangami, uh Crockett, uh Beto.
I think they're giving them too much air time.
I I No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're wrong.
Let me tell you why you're wrong.
Can I help you?
Well, you can help You mean you mean, for example, like last night I played Beto Bozo.
I played, I don't think we didn't have time.
We didn't get to Jasmine Crockett.
I love when Jasmine Crockett talks.
I love when my mom Donnie talks.
I love when AOC talks.
I love when Bernie and Pocahontas speak.
I love when squad members speak.
You want to know why?
Yes.
Because it shows the country how nuts they are.
But that's true.
But the problem is that, well, you may be given your a different point of view.
I'm bombarded from early in the morning with Fox.
There are really no fight backs against him.
There's not enough of Sleeva, Como, and Abrams to go after this guy.
It's like, oh, here's what uh Mongomi has to say about uh Trump today.
Uh here's what Crockett has to say about Trump today.
Here's what O'Rourke has to say, and it's all disgusting.
If you look at it on a cumulative basis, what does it tell you?
It tells you that the left is run by crazy people with crazy ideas that have gotten more radical and more extreme.
And then the more people are familiar with who they are, what they stand for, and what they're saying, the less likely it is that people will ever want to put them back in power.
So there's a method to my madness.
Well and I and I try to play, we try to find stuff that's different from everybody else.
But I hear what you're saying.
I mean, they can they can be annoying.
I get I understand.
It's annoying sometimes.
Uh John, appreciate you, man.
Kevin in Florida.
Hey, Kevin.
Longtime listener.
What's up?
How are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Yeah, good.
A longtime listener uh from the free state of Florida.
Um my fellow Floridian, what's on your mind?
Oh, uh, I'm glad that Trump's going to Alaska.
You know, I I think that uh it's about time that uh Trump uh deals with this uh bait and switch that Putin's been doing for the last you know couple of years.
You know, with all of Trump's stuff all over the world and peace and stuff, he needs a Nobel Price Prize, which they probably won't give him because nobody likes him.
But you know, here in Florida, we love the guy.
Um what what Trump needs to do is if if um Putin, you know, box and doesn't want to, you know, play ball, then he needs to give Ukraine whatever it takes to basically bomb them back to bomb Russia back to the stone age.
Listen, we don't want to get into a shooting war with Russia.
The best case scenario and how we define victory is we have an end to war in Europe.
Donald Trump leads the way, and and hopefully everybody begins to focus on things that matter, and that is a better life for our individual countrymen and women.
That's it.
You know, who wants to be killing innocent men, women, and children?
Who wants to be at war?
Who wants to live among rubble?
And yeah, um, you know, if Trump's able to pull this off, he's he's now got you know, eight peace deals in eight months.
And I don't think people looked at Donald Trump as the guy that would be the peacemaker.
Blessed are the peacemakers, right?
They're gonna inherit the earth.
Anyway, um uh I'm hoping um I'm wishing the president the best, but I would say there's a 25% chance he has to stand up, walk out like Reagan did at Reykjavik and say, Nyet, nope, not happening.
Nice try.
