This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
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.
Ah, nutty, n nutty newsome.
I'm gonna punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
I have offered, instead of taking on probably defenseless elected officials in Texas, I have offered for him if he wants, I will be the sacrificial lamb, and and he can I'll give him the f a free punch if he wants to take that punch at me and punch me in the mouth.
Now I get to defend myself.
And then I'll go punch for punch with him.
One one and he gets to defend himself.
I don't know.
He's lost his mind.
Um I haven't heard from Gavin, Linda.
Does that surprise you?
Not one word, not a peep out of him.
He loves to talk, loves to hear himself talk.
Doesn't want to solve problems in in California.
He's too busy being the alter ego of Donald Trump.
Which maybe you should go on his podcast.
He's never invited me on his podcast.
What am I supposed to invite myself?
I would.
I mean, he's too busy interviewing Jasmine Crockett.
My God, anything's better than her.
No, no, no.
She's the you're wrong.
You are so wrong about Jasmine.
Jasmine is the best.
I love Jasmine Crockett.
Keep talking Jasmine every day.
Um, this is kind of a weird moment we're living in because we are it's almost as if the we're in an election cycle.
What do I mean by that?
It's we are as a country at a tipping point.
The Democratic Party has gone so loony-tunes, radical left, you got Nutty Newsom, you got, oh, I see that our our old friend Chris Van Holland is back.
I'll get to that in a second.
You got Jasmine Crockett, you got AOC, you got the squad, you got Pocahontas, you got Grandpa Bernie, uh, you got Marxist momdani, you got them all, and they are the voice of the modern Democratic Party.
Now, the the leadership or so-called leadership or leadership and name only is pretty pretty silent when it comes to these people.
But now, during election cycles, I'll often say that this is a tipping point election.
That this is the biggest choice election in history.
We're not even really in an election cycle, and in as much as, you know, I think what Donald Trump is doing is he's trying to set things up so that the economy is going to turn around in a massive way.
He's trying to be bring peace around the world.
He's taking on transformational big things.
But what by this I mean, and I'll get into the specifics of this, the president signing an executive order, ending cashless bail.
And on every major issue, we're now at a tipping point and a the biggest choice moment for the country, even though it's not an election cycle.
And all of these issues, I would imagine are going to emerge and become what is the arguments in the 2026 midterms.
And and I think I'm pretty confident in saying that, barring any unforeseen issue that would, you know, take the nation's attention away from pretty much all of this.
And Democrats are pretty much on the wrong side of all of it.
I mean, if you look at the president, why why are Democrats still clinging to championing the rights of men to play women's sports?
Uh, why are Democrats clinging to this idiocy of no bail laws?
Why are Democrats clinging to the idiocy of defund dismantle no bail laws?
Why are Democrats, you know, screaming bloody murder when Donald Trump goes into our nation's capital and we have a murder-free week when on average you have nearly four homicides per week in Washington, D.C., and by far the bit largest homicide rate of any capital city in the world.
And you would think that Democrats, you know, w want law and order and safety and security.
It's fundamental.
On the economy, Democrats voted against the biggest tax uh cut in American history.
They voted against hardworking men and women by voting against ta uh uh a reduction in taxes on tips and overtime.
They're voting against seniors and a reduction of taxes on Social Security.
Uh This is the party now that on foreign policy, there's nothing that Donald Trump can do right, even though you know seven specific countries that he has brought played a role in bringing peace to by using the leverage of America's economy and trade deals to bring peace even to India and Pakistan, Iran and Israel.
That ended in 12 days, taking out Iran's nuclear sites even in the process.
So we're watching, you know, the biggest tipping point moment in the country, and it really more than anything else is a reaction.
The Democrats' reaction, they bubble and fizz like alka sulture and water when it comes to all things Donald Trump and everything that he's trying to do.
And in the process, you know, look at where they stand on the issues.
Now they're fighting President Trump on the issue of ending cashless bail.
Now, if you look at Zoran Mamdani, who's running for mayor of New York, Marxist Mamdani and his comrades, the Democratic Socialists of America, they want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses in New York City.
New York City's quality of life issues has already deteriorated to next to nothing.
Last week we were talking about how Mamdani, you know, realizing the pro-prostitution posturing won't fly with city voters.
He's now trying to hide behind Dole Loblasio, but he still supports decriminalizing prostitution in the city of New York.
But, you know, now he wants to wipe out, you know, remember the same guy that wants to put social workers in instead of police officers and refunding the police.
And his most recent platform, the group is blasting policing and detention as instruments of class war designed to guarantee the domination of the working class and demands an end to what it calls the criminalization of working class survival.
And for all working class to achieve collective liberation, we must constrain, diminish, and abolish these forces of the state from prisons and police themselves to their manifestations and all forms throughout society.
This is nuts.
This is insane.
He's repeatedly called for police to stop focusing on what he refers to as non-serious crimes.
And what does he consider non-serious crimes?
Third degree assault?
I mean, assault is assault.
That means an innocent person is being attacked by somebody and they want to end all misdemeanor charges.
Now he wants it that they don't even charge these people for petty assault, uh petty larceny or menacing and threatening, and third degree drug possession.
Even D if you get a D UI DWI.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's putting people at risk if people are free and you make you end all misdemeanors.
You can't even charge people for that.
Forcible touching, sexual misconduct, second-degree sexual misconduct, second degree sexual abuse, third degree identity theft.
He wants to abolish misdemeanors or simply not enforce them, and they include the you know, the following crimes, which all have a maximum penalty of a year in jail.
Why would you fight for the rights of those people?
He wants to end every misdemeanor charge.
You know, offer an easy pass for for criminals, if you will.
Um now, in the recent poll, he is slipping in in terms of the numbers, but this is this is now all part of an overall strategy of Democrats.
You know, they're still all in on windmills and solar energy and you know, the cost of democracy is Kamala Harris for energy.
And now the president is taking on this insanity in a major way.
I mean, we saw in a one week's time murder goes from 3.6, you know, weekly homicides, and because the president shows the policing does work, not a single person lost their life in Washington, D.C. last week, not one.
And it was funny.
Mike Johnson, the speaker, said the president deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for eliminating D.C. murders.
So the president signs this order to eliminate no cash bail for DC suspects.
He's mobilizing now up to 1,700 National Guard troops in 19 states to crack down on crime and illegal immigration, and the deployment will take place in areas that most need the help.
You know, Trump's week is going to be shaped by the crime agenda.
You know, if you don't have law and order, think about this.
If you don't have safety and security, both of those things are a prerequisite if you want to pursue happiness, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You can't pursue happiness if you can't walk down the street in your small town or big city.
Chicago's topped the nation in homicides for 13 straight years.
You know, we chronicled during the Obama years a list of people who've been murdered or victims of violent crime.
And Obama, we went back and looked two, maybe three times max did he ever mention his hometown of Chicago.
So now the next city is going to be Chicago, and stay out of our city, Chicago officials reacting to President Trump's, you know, plan to bring law and order and safety and security.
Epic Times reports that he's going to send troops to Baltimore.
Same problem there.
Is they they have a major crime problem.
I'll give you an example.
In Illinois, for example, you know, Chicago's weekend death toll, six shot dead, 27 wounded.
Illinois Democrats say they have crime under control.
They don't have crime under control.
They haven't had crime under control for decades.
You know, all these people shot in Chicago during the weekend of August 16th, all these people wounded, all these people murdered.
I mean, it's pretty remarkable that nobody seems to care.
Democrats that they claim to care about people, but they're the same people that wouldn't stand during the joint session speech for the family of Lake and Riley.
They wouldn't stand for, you know, the family of Jocelyn Nungarry.
They lied to the country and said the country was safe and secure.
So the president now is deciding that, you know what, enough is enough.
You know, bail and it and his executive order is gonna now take care of it.
He's going to do that which cities and states should have done a long time ago.
And he's going to put in place a system where people, law and order, safety and security, a prerequisite for happiness in life, can finally take place.
I'll give you an example.
Uh, this was in the New York Post on Sunday, on yesterday.
And they talk about this guy, Roman Gonzalez is his name.
He was arrested on April 9th, Union Square subway station.
Or is he arrested for pleasuring himself in front of a woman on the train platform?
The sixth time now he's been nabbed for public lewdness, and 32nd time he's been arrested since 1983.
He was back on the street immediately after the arrest because charges the charges aren't bail eligible.
He's a recidivist pervert, and people like him are the driving force behind set behind sex crimes on city subways and buses.
You know, how can you be doing this since 1983 and still be out on the street raged one New York police department detective?
Because that that is the madness that of these small towns and big cities.
I mean, no jail time.
You know, recidivist criminal looks and acts like a uh they call him the caveman in the New York Post, terrorizing women and girls and in Queens and in New York for for multiple years, multiple victims, the apparent deviant who's been identified, arrested twice for recent incidents, released both times because the crimes are not bail eligible.
This is insane.
This is madness.
You know, D.C. dismantled in a week.
Every single homeless encampment in D.C. By the way, I wonder if Nutty Newsom, instead of, you know, trying to be Trump's alter ego on X, maybe he can learn a lesson or two on how to keep the people in California where they have the highest state income tax, highest sales taxes.
They have the sixth highest corporate taxes, highest gas uh taxes in the country.
They, you know, 13,000 people lose their homes in the Pacific Palisades, they don't have enough water to put the fires out.
They don't have a reservoir that has any water in them.
And my point in in making in all of this is that this is the Democratic Party.
You pick the issue, and they're on the wrong side of all of them.
Every single one of them.
Give you another example with a Brago Garcia in just a second.
ICE was able to nab a Biden illegal whose rap sheet included 38 prior arrests.
You would think Democrats would be happy.
You think their constituents would be happy.
But they're wrong.
They're wrong on the economy.
They're wrong on law and order.
They're wrong on illegal immigration.
They're wrong on foreign policy.
They're wrong on energy.
And it's like we're at a tipping point.
And the lunatics now speak for their party, Nutty Newsom and Marxist Mundami and AOC and Jasmine Crockett and Pocahontas and the squad and Grandpa Bernie.
And I've never seen a party this far adrift in my life.
And if they think that this is going to resonate with the American people, I they're not paying attention to the numbers, as we've pointed out last week, nearly a net five million gain for Republicans in registration, and that's just from 20 to 24.
I would imagine that that trend is going to continue.
And I think the odds, even though mathematically or historically, it's very hard to for the party in power to win a midterm if the president's economic policies kick in and the president continues to make cities safer and more secure, and the president continues to bring bring peace around the world.
How do you defeat him if peace and prosperity drive elections?
Good luck to them being stupid.
I like that they're being stupid.
I have no problem with stupid.
I like Nutty Newsom.
I like Jasmine Crockett.
Keep going.
Let me just reiterate what I'm saying here, because I think it's it's simple, but it's profound.
The country is at a tipping point.
The country now is facing fundamental choices on the most basic of issues, law and order, safety, security, as I say, a prerequisite for the pursuit of happiness.
You know, the country is now facing a choice when it comes to education.
You know, we spend more per capita per student than any industrialized country with the worst results, and now Donald Trump is going to put the money in the hands of local authorities that that better know how to educate your kids.
That is transformational.
The president understands that you know, 12 to 20 million, whatever the number is of unvetted illegal immigrants in our country do not deserve free health care, and they're spending tens of billions of dollars out in the United Socialist Utopia of California and sanctuary cities and states.
You know, it's it's California that welcomed this guy, this truck driver that killed three people in Florida and gave him a commercial driver's license.
And people 2.5 million signing a petition to let this guy go.
This is nuts.
Fundamental issues, law and order, safety security, secure borders, legal immigration, not illegal immigration, respect our laws of border our sovereignty.
Donald Trump gave us the biggest tax cut in the history of our country.
He gave working men and women the biggest tax cut they've ever seen in the history of the country.
No tax on tips overtime.
He's helped out the elderly, no tax on Social Security.
Now the CBO projecting four trillion dollars that Donald Trump will get in tariffs that everybody predicted would kill the economy.
Even Jerome Powell now talking about lowering interest rates.
Finally, he's a day late and a dollar short, but finally in September.
That would be major.
Donald Trump understands the lifeblood of our economy is energy, and this move towards green energy and wind and solar has been a colossal failure, and we have wasted tens and hundreds of trillions of dollars, taxpayer dollars.
It's insane.
And foreign policy.
You know, the president, you know, is willing to take on the likes of Vladimir Putin and China and Iran and North Korea and do it with grace and ease, and he's made a lot of progress so far.
House Republicans now have to investigate.
You know, whoever who would have ever thought that the number one capital city in the world would be our capital, Washington, D.C. And on top of having by far the highest homicide rate, 41 for 100,000.
Now we're discovering, and now House Republicans are investigating disturbing allegations that DC officials have purposely been tampering with DC's crime data to make the nation's capital appear safer than it truly is at 41 for a hundred thousand that we know of homicides.
The next closest is sixteen.
Now the president is saying, you know what, it's been so successful, going from 3.6 homicides a week to zero last week.
His his basically just restoring law and order policies.
That's all it is.
It's not a police state.
It's keeping people safe and secure.
We played a montage last week.
Residents love it.
They want to be safe and secure.
Now the president is going to move to Chicago.
What's the response?
Chicago mayor Brendan Johnson.
Last time I checked, I think he had a 6% approval rating.
He's he's now resisting any effort by President Trump to deploy the National Guard to his crime-ridden murder-ridden city.
And encouraging citizens now to stage uprisings.
Quote, we're going to remain firm.
We'll take legal action, but the people of this city are accustomed to rising up against tyranny.
He said, and if that's necessary, I believe the people of Chicago will stand firm alongside of me as I work every single day to protect the people of this city.
And opposed to X, he claimed that Trump's proposal to make Chicago safe again would be the most flagrant violation of our constitution in the 21st century.
I don't think so.
You know, keeping people safe and secure is fundamental, and he's failed miserably, just like every other big blue city and state.
And at the death toll this weekend, six six shot dead, twenty-seven shot and wounded.
And they say they have crime under control.
They don't have crime under control.
During the weekend that ended, six people shot dead, twenty-seven wounded.
The weekend before that was actually a little a little bit better.
They only had three people shot and killed, 23 wounded.
You can predict with a high degree of certainty how bad it's going to be on any given weekend.
And now the president is signing an end to uh cashless bail.
But this is where I get into this is a tipping point.
Because on every 90, 10, 80, 20 issue, every 7525 issue, every 70-30 issue, Democrats are on the wrong side of the issue.
You know, and I'll give you an example.
ICE was able to nab 38 Biden, Harris, Mayorcus illegals that were unvetted, whose rap sheet includes 38 prior arrests.
ICE agents arrested illegal immigrant Jonathan Monzon Alvares of Guatemala arrested 38 times, 15 criminal convictions.
One of the worst criminal illegal aliens arrested by ICE, and that happened yesterday.
38 prior arrests, 15 convictions, including sexual assault, aggravated assault, and burglary.
Why is this person still in our country?
Because Democrats, they they didn't care.
They lied.
They just flat out lied about illegal immigration.
And what do they do in California and other sanctuary states and cities?
They offer they aid in a bet in the law breaking, and they offer, you know, a fortune and benefits for illegals that are paid for by their taxpayers.
No wonder why California has the highest income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, and the six highest corporate taxes.
And no wonder why people are leaving that state in droves.
But don't worry, you know, your governor in California, Gavin Newsom, is very, very busy right now being Trump's alter ego on X. I mean, meanwhile, you have people, 13,000 homes in the Pacific Palisades burn to the ground.
Wildfires in California are predictable.
And by the way, if they practice the science of forestry, you could probably prevent a lot of the homes from burning to the ground.
If they had water in their fire hydrants, you probably could have saved a lot of these homes.
If you had a reservoir that had water in it, you could probably have saved a lot of lives.
We they don't keep statistics out in California, by the way, as to how the crimes of the illegal immigrants.
You want to know why?
On purpose.
Because they don't want people to know.
Now, this is the strangest thing I've seen.
2.5 million people are signing a petition supporting this illegal immigrant truck driver charged in the fatal crash.
Remember when he was arrested, this guy Singh is three counts of vehicular homicide.
Governor Ron DeSantis, you know, brought him back to uh Florida, where he's gonna face charges.
I would imagine he's gonna be found guilty, but he entered this country through the uh sanctuary state of California where they gave him a commercial driver's license.
And upon his arrest, when he took an English test, he he missed, I think he got two out of twelve questions right.
When he was given the uh test on road signs, he got four out of five wrong.
This guy had no business driving an 18-wheeler.
And now a petition demanding leniency for him.
Explain that to me.
An Obama appointed judge Friday ruled that President Trump can't cut federal funding from dozens of cities and counties and officials that are deemed sanctuaries for illegals.
By definition, you are aiding and abetting in law breaking.
Which brings us now to Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man Abrego Garcia.
He's only a man, he's a man from Maryland, man from Maryland, man from Maryland.
Anyway, the man from Maryland was released by this judge, Christy Gnome went apoplectic.
Thankfully, ICE was able to re-arrest, you know, the Democrats' favorite wife beating according to her, gang banging Biden illegal, Kilmar Obrego Garcia, and he had to report to Baltimore Ice, and they arrested him.
And Abrego Garcia said, God has heard us.
Spoken for the first time since he was deported to El Salvador.
My name is Brego Garcia, Kilmar Obrego Garcia.
Today is a very special day.
Thank God I've returned to my family after more than 160 days.
I'd like to thank all the people.
President Trump is praising Christy Gnome for making the border wall untouchable with the new upgrade.
Here's the best part of the Abrego Garcia story is that Democrat Chris Von Holland, who's in love with this guy, insisted on having one last meeting with his good friend and soulmate, Kilmar Obrego Garcia.
Before the white beating, gangbanging Biden illegal gets shipped off to Uganda for the rest of his life where he belongs.
Why should he be in this country illegally?
Again, I go back.
We're at a tipping point.
The Democrats have doubled down on insanity.
Absolute insanity.
And now it's a matter of, and now Ron DeSantis and my state will clean up Gavin Newsom's mess and you know, put this guy on trial, the truck driver, and we're going to get to the bottom of it.
But, you know, you do usually don't talk about tipping points unless it's an election.
You don't talk about the biggest choice moment.
This is a big choice moment.
We're learning that on top of all the lawfare we've discovered, and we'll talk more about it with Devin Nunes, who was more right than anybody knew at the time in terms of weaponization and politicizing justice in this country.
Now bank executives are confirming in the wake of President Trump's executive order that outlaws debanking major bank executives.
They're saying that they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses because they're conservative for political purposes.
One bit of good news on the economy, Jerome Powell is signaling the job market.
Inflation outlook could allow for an interest rate cut in September.
A day late, a dollar short, and it'll be too small.
That's my guess.
We need to get a new Fed chair sooner than later.
The CBO predicting Trump's tariffs could reduce the national debt and deficit by four trillion dollars.
Wow.
I thought this was going to be a disaster.
That's a lot of money to be saved.
Home sales rose in July, defying expectations, sales of existing homes, which is shocking to me considering interest rates are so high.
Nobody's going to want to give up a 30-year, you know, 3%, 4% fixed rate mortgage for a 7%, 7.5% 30-year fixed rate mortgage.
Anyway, sales of existing homes rose, quote, unexpectedly, raising hopes that the long-stalled housing market that won't be fixed until we get interest rates in line with where the market is right now.
U.S. manufacturing surge to a three-year high.
American manufacturing sector, that that is going to go through the roof.
Mark my words.
Yeah, 15 trillion in committed monies from countries and companies to build things like automobiles back in America and pharmaceuticals and rare earth minerals.
We're going to have mining again.
And semiconductor chips.
You know, that's all coming home.
Um, you know, once interest rates go down, you're going to see a massive increase in sale of pre-existing homes.
Linda, I do have a question for you.
Uh, because I saw Cracker Barrel.
Um got involved in this rebrand.
People don't like rebrands.
It's like when Coca-Cola tried new Coke, it didn't work out well.
And there was nothing, there was no DEI associated with it.
I don't see there's a lot of fallout from Cracker Barrel changing their logo, logo.
I don't see that they did it for any politically correct reason or DEI reason.
I I don't think this is akin in any way to what happened with Bud Light.
But people are furious over it.
I don't know if I agree with you on that.
We've done a little bit of deep dive and we've done a little bit of deep dive in a crackle barrel, and it appears that over the course of like the last decade, they have done a ton of donations to DEI, woke ideology, uh types of organizations.
The gentleman who is heading up this effort has run a DEI marketing outfit for over 15 years and has made it his business to focus on DEI in every opportunity possible.
So it has more to do with that than with the change in their symbol.
Because the change in their symbol seemed innocuous to me.
There was no reason to do it because I like the f I like the old symbol better.
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, you you got this this old, you know, sort of uh farmer type looking guy sitting by a barrel, you know, cracker barrel.
He's sort of, you know, synonymous with the brand, and then you remove him, the inside of the of the cracker barrels were always sort of like, I don't know, uh for lack of a better word, cozy.
Now they're very sort of sterile.
They just don't fit with the brand.
And if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You know, not everything needs to be DEI woke.
Uh, I don't know if you saw Mom Donnie wants to end all misdemeanor charges.
Third degree assault, petty larceny, menacing, third degree drug possession, DWI, forces forcible touching, sexual misconduct, second degree sexual misconduct, second degree sexual abuse, third degree ID theft, and of course, he wants to decriminalize prostitution.
And by the way, polls show he's he's winning, has 36.9% of the vote, Cuomo 24.6, Curtis Lee was up to 17.
And forget Eric Adams, he's not doing well.
Um, I don't think mom Donnie's gonna make it.
No, I think he is gonna make it, unfortunately.
Uh 800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
