Here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to join us, President Trump signing an executive order to end cashless bail.
I go back to my opening monologue today is this country in many, many ways is at a tipping point.
And that's a term I'll normally use during an election cycle, but we are at a tipping point because the radical left right now would dramatically shift this country in a very different direction.
Now, the good news is Americans understand the need for law and order and safety and security.
Americans believe in legal immigration, not illegal immigration.
They support the president's deportations.
Americans want energy dominance.
They understand the importance of energy being the lifeblood of the world's economy.
There's no doubt the president playing a role in bringing safety and security around the globe is it is in America's best interest.
But again, he's not being part of any forever wars, keeping in sync with his own Trump doctrine.
Not really stated.
I think we explain it better than anybody, which is, yeah, he'll use military force, like to take out Iranian nuclear sites.
He'll use military force to take out the ISIS Caliphate or Soleimani or Baghdadi or, if need be, drop the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
But in each case, you know, it's in sync with his philosophy that America should not be involved in these forever wars.
But on every major issue, you know, the Democrats are offering a very different vision for the future of the country.
They support defund, dismantle, no-bail laws.
Now the president is taking that on, signing an executive order ending cashless bail.
Even fake news, CNN grudgingly admitting that crime is down in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard.
What a shock.
The president is willing to now mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops in 19 states to widen this crime and the illegal immigration crackdown.
And you have people like J.B. Pritzker and all these people in liberal states, the L.A. mayor, Gavin Newsom, who's lost his mind.
Chicago's weekend death toll, by the way, six shot, dead, 27 wounded this weekend.
It's a typical weekend in Chicago.
You know, we've stated this all throughout the Obama years.
Nobody's ever lifted a finger.
Three people were shot dead in Chicago during the weekend of August 16, 23 wounded.
I mean, how many more people have to die here?
I mean, it gets crazy.
But on every major issue, you can look at immigration as an example.
You know, we now have a choice, two very competing different visions for immigration.
ICE was able to nab a Biden illegal whose rap sheet included 38 prior arrests.
At what point, you know, do you say enough is enough?
At what point, when you have known terrorists and murderers and rapists and other violent criminals and cartel members and gang members, do you not get on board with, no, we have to have an immigration system that enforces the law, respects our borders and respects our sovereignty?
That's not where the Democratic Party is.
You know, there's now a petition supporting that illegal trucker accused of killing three in my free state of Florida.
That person came in through the sanctuary state of California, was given a commercial driver's license, can't read English and can't read road signs.
You know, two and a half million people signing a petition supporting this guy.
I don't know who these two and a half million people are, but I think it's insane.
You know, they're now the party, the Democratic Party of Abrego Garcia.
You have an Obama judge blocking Trump from defunding sanctuary states.
Trump is going to win that.
But a judge releasing the illegal migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man, as they like to say.
Christy Noam was going to be on Hannity tonight, absolutely apoplectic about it.
But ICE did rearrest the Democrats' favorite white-feeding, gang-banging Biden illegal, Chris Van Holland's best friend.
But on every major issue, every one of them, it's now a choice the likes of which this country's never had before.
Whether it's law and order, safety, security, whether or not it's deportation for people that didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, whether or not it's on the economy.
Democrats voted against the largest tax cut in American history.
They voted against cutting taxes for working men and women.
And, you know, it's a foreign policy.
I don't think you've never seen a president that willing to expend political energy and capital like President Trump to bring peace around the world.
Anyway, here to weigh in on all of this, South Carolina Attorney General, by the way, he's now currently running for governor.
He's a friend of the program.
Alan Wilson is with us.
And, you know, I've never seen a tipping point like this where the country is literally confronted with basic fundamental visions for the future of the country that couldn't be more different.
And I have a hard time understanding, even though these are 80, 20, 90, 10 issues, why Democrats end up on the wrong side of all of them.
Well, good for us, Sean, that they are ending up on the wrong side of all of them.
The best revenge Donald Trump can have and that the Republican Party can have is success implementing pro-law enforcement, pro-security policies to deliver real results to the American people.
I was just looking on X a few moments ago, and the D.C. police union was giving statistics since President Trump's taken over the D.C. police and implemented his policies there.
Robberies have dropped 85% compared to the previous two weeks of tracking.
Violent crimes have dropped 25%.
Robberies dropped 42%.
I mean, these are real tangible results.
And I think the Democrats are freaking out because when their constituencies start to reap the benefits of pro-law enforcement, pro-security policies, then they're going to start questioning what the Democrats have been trying to sell them all these years.
Well, I mean, I just think that at the end of the day, you know, how many more Americans have to die?
Why don't Democratic, you know, why didn't Joe Biden, why didn't Kamala Harris, why didn't Mayorkas, why did they lie to us on immigration, for example, for four years and say the border was closed and secure and our eyes showed us a very different picture?
And why didn't they ever pick up a phone and call the families of victims, people that were murdered or raped or victims of violent crime because of the illegal immigrants that they let into the country unvetted?
Why didn't the Democratic Party stand at the president's joint session speech for the family of Lake and Riley and the family of Jocelyn Nungari?
What is it about this party that if Trump does it, they've got to hate it?
Because they've been hijacked by the far extremist left.
And to actually acknowledge the things that you just talked about meant they would have to acknowledge their own failures.
Sean, I remember watching that State of the Union.
There was a child there, I think, battling brain cancer, you know, that they were going to make an honorary, you know, D.C. police officer or Secret Service officer, if I recall.
And they couldn't even stand up and clap for that because these people are so deranged.
The Trump Derangement syndrome is a real thing.
And to acknowledge it, to call victims, to acknowledge the reality on the ground means they would have to acknowledge that they are failures and they have been held captive by the radical left.
Well, I think that's what's happened.
Now, the question is, do you see any Democrat emerging that can get traction?
I mean, certainly there's a race to the left to get the nomination.
I think more recently we've seen the activity of, you know, Cavin Newsome, who's the governor of the United Socialist Utopia of California.
We've gone over his track record.
They have the highest property taxes.
They have the highest cash taxes.
They have the highest income taxes.
They have one of the worst school systems in the entire country.
They have one of the highest homeless populations.
They have the highest, you know, exodus issue of any country in the state in the entire country.
People are leaving California because of its burdensome taxation, quality of life issues.
And you can't even rebuild a home in the Pacific Palisades, even though I would argue government was responsible for a big part of that failure because Santa Ana winds are predictable and wildfires are predictable, especially if you don't practice the science of forestry.
All these 13,000-plus homes burn to the ground and maybe 100 applications for new homebuilding has been approved.
I mean, I would think Gavin has something better to do than try to be Trump's alter ego.
No, I agree.
It was fun, not fun.
It was not fun to watch, but it was interesting to watch the L.A. fires out there and their response to the LA fires and to watch members of the Hollywood elite who did not deserve to lose their homes.
I'm not saying that, but to see them call out Gavin Newsom and the ultra-left-wing governance of L.A. and surrounding counties, to see them recognize how their own policies that they had voted for had been failing them.
And again, it kind of gives credence to the saying, you know, people get the government they deserve good and hard, but people don't deserve that kind of government, which is why I'm so excited to see President Trump's success in Washington, D.C. and other areas, because as Democratic voters start to see President Trump's policies and the policies of the right start to win, then they're going to start to really question.
They're going to start to question their liberal leadership.
And I think that could be a boon for the Republican Party.
Tell me why you're running for governor in South Carolina.
Well, first off, I love South Carolina.
I love our people.
And as Attorney General, I've spent the last 14 years fighting for the rule of law, defending the rule of law, fighting for the Constitution, protecting cops and victims in South Carolina.
And I see a real opportunity for the next generation of leadership to step in and, for instance, eliminate the income tax, doge all of state government, reform our education system, prioritize infrastructure, and protect South Carolina families.
I want to do for South Carolina what Donald Trump is doing for America.
And there's a reason 75% of Republican elected sheriffs have endorsed me.
They know leadership when they see it.
And I look forward to being the next governor of South Carolina so that I can better serve and support the president.
All right.
When the time comes, we'll have you on discussing and debating that.
You come from a great state.
I think eliminating the income tax in South Carolina is a great idea.
And you'll be joining my free state of Florida, state of Tennessee, and a few other states in doing so.
And I think it's a good idea.
And more and more people are moving to South Carolina.
Number one, the people are awesome.
Number two, the coastline's incredible.
Number three, you do have common sense government there.
I think it is very attractive to people that are leaving these blue states that don't prioritize law, order, safety, security, that have high taxes, burdensome regulation.
But anyway, Alan Wilson, thank you, sir.
Thank you, Sean.
All right, quick break.
Right back to our phones.
Toll-free.
Our number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, to our busy phones, we go.
800-941-Sean is our number.
Janet is in Pittsburgh, PA.
What's up, Janet?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Oh, thank you.
Love your show, and please keep up the great work.
Well, thank you for letting me do it.
I appreciate it.
I mean, I'd be talking to myself if I didn't have people like you.
Well, we've got a lot of people listening.
And please, yeah, great, great show, always.
Longtime listener, first-time caller.
Just a quick comment here.
And it kind of ties into Gavin Newsom.
There's a lot of people out there.
A lot of discussions on TV about Gavin Newsom as being the Democratic candidate and how he could win the primaries and everything.
And he's pretty good at switching around.
And I sit there and I think, yeah, right.
Like, yeah, he could get all of the votes.
But maybe in the end, what's it matter?
To pull a Bernie on him and switch him out?
Or maybe even a Biden-Harris thing and switch him out.
This goes to the heart of what I'm talking about today.
I mean, Gavin, you have the highest tax rate, the highest income taxes of any state in the entire country.
And yet you still have, you know, billions, tens of billions of dollars in a budget deficit.
Gavin, you have the highest gas taxes of almost any state in the country.
Gavin, you have the highest sales taxes of any state in the country.
Gavin, you have the sixth largest corporate tax of any state in the country.
You have some of the worst issues involving safety and security for people.
Homelessness is out of control.
People are leaving your estate in droves.
Tell us, Gavin, why would you deserve a promotion?
Really?
I don't know why people can't see that.
Well, I think they will in the end.
I think Gavin has a big problem if he wants to be president.
And I know he does want to be president.
You know what the problem he's facing is?
His record, his past statements.
I think he's got a big problem.
Well put.
Yes, I agree.
All right, Janet.
We appreciate you being out there.
Thank you for your wonderful call.
Have a great week.
I can't believe what's Labor Day.
Linda, can you believe it?
Unreal.
Scary.
It comes too fast.
Comes fast.
It comes fast and hard.
And it comes, that means you're going to be running out to your hot tub in the middle of winter in your bathing suit in the freezing cold.
Doesn't matter.
Michael Phelps swim spa.
You run into your master spa.
By the way, this year you've got to give us a video when it's freezing cold out.
I will remember that.
I'll take the whole family out and we'll take pictures.
No, no, no.
I want a video.
I want a video of the run from the house to the hot tub.
Listen, excited to share something that is especially close to my heart, and that is the people of Israel.
They've been through so much.
Five now till the top of the hour on this Monday, 800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, I just recently spent time with Frank Siller.
He's such a good guy.
And he lost his brother, Stephen Siller.
He's only 34 years old on 9-1101.
And what started out to be just an effort to help out his sister-in-law, you know, turned into this massive operation to help the family of the fallen and fallen first responders and gold star families and people with these catastrophic injuries.
I mean, he does incredible work.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
They support America's greatest heroes, U.S. service members, first responders, those that die, those that are catastrophically injured in the line of duty, and honestly, the people that we owe the biggest debt of gratitude to.
You know, we take for granted our liberties and freedoms every day, but that price, those freedoms came with a very high price.
Now, the foundation has their gold star, fallen first responder programs, their smart home programs, their homeless veterans programs, and all of them honor the sacrifices made for us by the men and women that risked their lives and their bodies for our country, our communities.
They have their never-forget programs that engage people of 9-11 remembrances all across the country.
They have over 80 runs, walks, climbs, dozens of golf outings every year.
And the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute is helping to educate children that weren't even born.
My daughter was born 13 days before 9-11.
He's about to be 24 years old.
But anyway, they're educating kids K through 12 about America's darkest day.
They keep their vow to never forget.
Anyway, please help us support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, all of these great programs.
If you can donate, as Frank was telling me, $11 a month makes all the difference.
That's what guarantees this great work can continue.
And for those of you that can commit to $11 a month, it makes all the difference.
Go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Let me go back to what I was saying earlier.
Democrats now finding themselves on pretty much the wrong side of every issue, not the least of which is the issue of immigration.
I mean, you know, I mean, 2.5 million people signing a petition supporting this illegal immigrant truck driver that came in through the sanctuary state of California, got a commercial driving license, and the guy can't speak English or read road signs, according to a test they gave this guy.
And 2.5 million people signing on to that, which is insane.
Of course, you have the Obama judge blocking Trump from defunding sanctuary cities.
And then you have the judge releasing the illegal immigrant, Kilmar Obrego Garcia, the Maryland man, the Maryland guy.
ICE, by the way, ends up rearresting the Democrats' favorite wife beating, gang-banging, Biden illegal, Kilmar Obrego Garcia.
Anyway, here's people protesting his arrest.
Stand up for Jimmy War.
I'm going to let it shine.
This party is full of lunatics.
I will build this world from love.
Oh, my God.
I will build this world from love.
Not too bad.
What a bunch of lunatics.
Corey Booker, Hakeem Jeffries were sitting there on the Capitol steps as that singing was going on.
I can't take it, to be honest with you.
Let's say Stephen is in Albany, New York.
What's up, Stephen?
How are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
How are you?
By the way, for the record, Albany is not New York.
It's not anything like New York City.
And Long Island really is not anything like New York City.
Westchester is not like New York City.
Problem is you have this densely populated area that dominates state voting with their, you know, 12 million voters in that one area.
I was born in Brooklyn.
Sorry to hear that.
What's going on?
What's on your mind?
My father was born in Brooklyn.
My mother was born in the South Bronx.
Very familiar with it.
I used to talk like Linda.
Well, you kind of still have a little bit of Linda in you.
Just say.
I can hear it.
Well, okay, getting down to what I called this trucker, Sing.
There was a lot of things out there.
And what I called about is I finally came up with something here.
I was working for DoorDash.
I can't get in hours.
I couldn't figure it out.
And then all of a sudden it dawned on me when the trucker had the accident.
And by the way, ultimately, Gavin Newsom is responsible for this trucker being on the road.
100%.
His state.
Sanctuary State allowed this guy in Washington State also allowed this guy to get a commercial trucking license.
Then when, you know, after this accident, they test him.
And the guy can't speak English well and he can't read road signs.
Had no business with a commercial driver's license.
Now, Secretary of State Rubio, you know, put an end to this happening because this is insane.
I got a call from a friend of mine in the trucking business and says, you have no idea what a big problem this is and how common this is.
It all comes under accountability.
And I learned accountability from the military.
I'm a veteran.
And what I saw when I was working for DoorDash was all of a sudden my hours started disappearing.
And then I remembered that many of the other DoorDash drivers I met all had accents.
And what they're doing is they're doing tag teams.
They're just, you know, one will drive and they'll hand the phone to another one, another one, and they just continue their hours until nobody else can work.
And then I realized that the Uber drivers do the same thing and the Lyft drivers do the same thing.
So they're 100% manned and there's no accountability.
There's no supervisors, nothing.
They just, all the people on the other side of the business, the people that own the companies, know is that they're couriers, their chauffeurs, they're all out there working, and they don't actually look at it.
The thing about this is to look at it, to find out if this is going on, is that if these people that own the accounts are on the road 24 hours a day, and if they're on the road 24 hours a day, either one, they can't be physically capable of doing this, or number two, they're just handing the phones out and somebody else is doing this.
And I got the idea when a friend of mine said, I'd like to work for DoorDash, and I was about ready to hand him over my phone.
And then I realized there are no hours, absolutely no hours.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Look, as a regular customer of Instacart and Uber Eats, I'm very familiar with these apps.
And I often get the same people that deliver, and they get to know me because I tip pretty well.
I try to take care of the people because I figure, man, that's a pretty hard job.
And you're not going to make a lot of money every day, especially if you go by the tipping system that they have.
I mean, like, sometimes I'll get a small order that's like 20 bucks.
Like, I'm not going to give somebody a $3 tip.
I mean, that's nuts.
I even yelled at my kids for, you know, they said, Dad, we went to the highest number, 20, 25%, whatever the highest tip, you know, the category is.
I wrote, hit the button other and never give a minimum tip of less than $20.
I said, do you realize how hard that job is?
Do you realize how much work goes into that?
And when I explained it to them, they understood.
And they're both successful enough that they can afford it.
And I just said, you've got to take care of people that work hard.
My advice to you would be if the system is kind of rigged against you, find other people and do the same thing back.
Because it sounds to me like you want to work.
Were you once a driver?
Were you once an 18-wheeler?
Once driving 18-wheelers?
No, I'm a taxi driver.
If you listen to Coast to Coast AM, I'm Taxi Steve.
I call up every West Paul.
I've been taxi driver.
I've been a taxi driver for about 40, 50 years now.
In Albany?
Right before.
Yeah.
I started right before.
Oh, and also Yakusuka, Japan, when I was stationed overseas.
There's a different type of drive.
There's a different type of driving.
Everything's backwards.
Listen, everything, whenever things get hard, and I'm giving you my advice based on my life experience, whenever things get hard, don't stay stagnant.
You got to make adjustments.
I can tell you on radio and TV, I'm making adjustments every day, subtle adjustments to the show, you know, to tweak it, to make it better, you know, things that we add, different guests that we bring on.
You know, you just, you constantly are having to maneuver around whatever obstacles, you know, pop up.
So my advice to you is figure out a way to do, if this is what they're doing to prevent you from getting these jobs, I would match it and surpass it if that's at all possible.
I mean, I got to believe all those years in riding a taxi that you probably know enough people that could probably work with you and do exactly what they're doing.
Well, what I would do is go back to courier work.
The only thing is.
Whatever is going to make you the most money for the amount of time that you're putting in.
That's my advice.
I bought a car.
I can't afford the car any longer because I can't get hours.
I can't get hours.
And the courier jobs, I can't find the courier jobs.
And a lot of them are going out to these guys who are foreigners.
It's basic economics.
And I took broadcasting in college, and I took an economics course while I was doing that.
Got an A in it.
And when all these people came over, they needed to feed themselves.
They needed to clothe themselves.
They needed to house themselves.
And they're going to go into everywhere.
They're going to permeate the.
Yeah, but you're telling me that they're kind of forming alliances together so that they can work more hours and get more work, right?
It's more than that.
Well, my friend Angelo Cristo was telling me about his father, who was in World War II and fighting for the American fighting forces.
He couldn't come into the United States unless there was a job for him.
These guys, the door was open.
They said, no, you don't need a job.
Just go out there and find a job.
And they're swamping.
Well, that's being dealt with.
But in the meantime, you need a shorter-term solution because you're not going to be able to solve the Biden-Harris Majorkis illegal immigrant problem by yourself.
In the short term, is there anything you can think of you can do to make yourself more competitive and be able to counter the moves that they're making?
I'm 71 years old.
It's very hard for me to change right now.
No, it's not.
Don't ever give up.
You know what?
You're smart.
You're articulate.
You're hardworking.
You want to work even harder.
You know, if they've kind of gamed the system a little bit, get three or four people, unite together, and make sure that they're not taking the jobs from you.
That's my advice.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.
All right.
Appreciate the call.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Let's say hi to Rich in Vegas.
Hey, Rich, how are you?
Hey, Dawn Radio.
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on on the strip?
Not much.
I just want to talk to you.
My dad used to be a cop for 32 years.
And just like anything that people do that are criminals, for example, if they do drugs or they kill somebody, they lose every asset that they have.
They lose their house that they were in.
They lose their cars.
They lose everything that they have because they will be going to jail and they don't have any use of that.
Any Republican, any Democrat, any independent individual that is criminally, you can see the proof in writing and their signatures on the paper.
That is illegal.
That is a crime.
They should be held accountable for that crime and lose every asset that they have.
Well, they're trying to get to the bottom of all of it.
And if you're talking, for example, about illegals, when you're dealing with 12 million to 20 million and nobody knows the actual number, it's very, very hard.
There was a good article out today, and one of the most successful programs, and it was an idea that I brought up a long time ago, which is the idea of incentivize these people to self-deport.
And if you self-deport, you get a free transportation home, you get a thousand dollar check, and you get the ability to apply to come into the country legally.
You know, we have to, and then that's resulted in a million and a half to two million people that have left.
And those people will then have an opportunity.
If you don't self-deport, we have to do it for you.
You're never getting into this country again legally.
Exactly.
And also the other things, you have the politicians doing the same thing, you know, letting these people in.
They're doing it for their own personal gain.
And that's the thing is that they should be accountable for it.
It's just like what the guy was talking about, the truck driver, okay, Gavin Newsom.
Okay, he signed off on that.
He should be what any criminal is that he should be associated to it.
And, you know, basically a part of that crime because he's the one that allowed it to happen.
And he should be accountable for that and held accountable for it and lose everything as any other criminal.
I think anybody in any way, any elected official that has aided, abetted illegal immigrants in this country, in the case of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Mayorkas, I've said it many times, they all have blood on their hands.
And if they're, God forbid, if I'm right, it's a matter of when, not, if this country gets hit, they'll have a lot more blood on their hands.
They created this crisis, and I believe that their ultimate goal was going to be to offer something of great value to all the people they let in illegally, and that's citizenship in the hopes that, oh, if we give you something of great value, you're going to vote for us, right?
I think there was a very nefarious, sinister motive behind it.
