Sean Hannity opens the week highlighting a shocking New York Post headline: 63 subway career criminals racked up over 5,000 arrests, yet only five remain behind bars. He frames the issue as the result of radical leftist policies such as no-bail laws and "reimagining" police which he argues allow repeat offenders to terrorize innocent riders. Hannity discusses the broader impact of these lenient reforms, cites the horrific murder of a young Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte, and scrutinizes politicians silence and media complicity. Featuring expert takes and D.C. crime statistics, the episode spotlights why public safety remains a top concern for voters and calls for supporting organizations like Tunnel to Towers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If there is such a thing, I'm not exactly sure there is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, if you want to know why the left is so radicalized, you can you can look at immigration.
We've we've talked about that exhaustively on this show.
And the fact that Democrats sat idly by lying to us about, you know, anywhere between 12 and 20 million unvetted illegal immigrants.
I'll keep repeating it because it's worth repeating, included among that group, known terrorists.
We know murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers, all of them.
Then you go to the issue of crime.
Let me look at the New York Post today there for uncover.
Yeah, and if for those of you that live in a red state that believes in law and order and safety and security, uh a state or a city or a town or a city that does not believe in defund the police, dismantle the police, and reimagine the police and no bail laws.
Can you imagine reimagining the police will send in the social workers?
I've said this before.
Uh, you know, somebody's threatening to kill a bunch of people.
Uh sir, I am a social worker sent here by the city.
Um, please, is there a reason you're triggered today?
Did anything happen in your childhood that that might have, you know, brought upon these feelings that you have today?
I mean, it's absolute madness.
But the headline is more than 5,000 arrests.
5,000.
Now the best part for just 63 subway in New York City, repeat offenders, and only five of the 63 are behind bars.
Who would ever, if you have an ounce of common sense that God gave you when you were born, not want all 63 people in jail, maybe after a thousand bus and arrests, maybe after a thousand, maybe after 500, maybe after a hundred, you would want these people behind bars.
They are career criminals.
They're wreaking havoc in the subways underground in New York City.
And then what does New York City do?
They turn around and they go after somebody like Daniel Penny, who's trying to protect innocent men, women, and children who testified on his behalf at a trial uh and and save their lives not knowing what these people are capable of.
Um, but you have a cluster of 63 career criminals wreaking havoc in New York City subway system.
And by the way, if you want one of the thousand plus reasons I can give you why I no longer live in New York, put this one at the top of the list.
But between sixty-three career criminals, five thousand arrests between them, and of the sixty-three, only five are currently behind bars.
They have amassed a disturbing rap sheet for crimes, assault, robbery, theft.
Forget about turnstile jumping.
I mean, that's a given.
A string of other offenses, and they largely remain free because of this leftist, liberal, extreme, radical, idiotic mentality of defund, dismantle uh the police, reimagine the police, meaning replace police with social workers, and no bail laws in and in states like New York, California's not far behind all of these states and cities.
And, you know, they could say, well, crime is down in in the subways, but you know, I I don't know if I trust, you know, according to reports, the homicide rate in New York is much higher uh according to people that actually work there, and they're being forced and pressured, just like reports from the Washington Free Beacon and elsewhere, that the Metropolitan Police Department in DC is being forced to cook the books to make it appear more safe than it really is.
Uh, but you know, thanks to the idiotic, you know, 2019 criminal justice reforms, it it prevents judges from setting bail on most crimes and under these so-called reforms, repeat offenders busted for any crime other than violent felonies, you know, typically get a slap on the wrist.
They cut them loose.
Many years ago, there's a famous judge in the Bronx called Cut Them Loose Bruce.
I mean, this is like this is now institutionalized, stupid.
And then you've got, you know, Marxist Kami Mamdanny, who, if if you look at the polls, and I have all the latest numbers in front of me, I can share them with you.
If you look at the polls, and maybe it's still a little bit early, uh, the elections in November, it looks like Marxist Kami Mamdani, who was out there campaigning with Kami, you know, grandpa Bernie Sanders all weekend, you know, is doubling down on decriminalizing, you know, even sexual uh violence and crimes and and things like that.
All of if it's third degree, a sexual assault.
Oh okay, third degree is okay.
But these reforms, and I don't know what happened.
I'm not saying that there aren't an occasional bad cop, bad apples.
There are.
But you've got to weed those people out.
If you look at the NYPD at its height, it was well over 40,000 officers.
They're down last time I checked to about 31,000.
Now, I don't know if you saw this this weekend, this terrible crime, and you know, liberal media politicians accused of you know, remaining kind of silent.
There was a savage murder of a young Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train, and this guy stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, horrifying surveillance footage, you know, showing the moment when the unsuspecting young woman was brutally attacked.
The uh uh the person responsible shown pulling out a pocket knife, getting out of his seat behind the this woman before the video, you know, cuts just as he prepares to plunge the blade into her, uh, according to footage the police have.
This individual just sitting in the their chair, totally unaware of what's about to happen.
You know, just looking at their phone.
After the attack, the attacker can be seen wandering through the you know, the train, you know, spattering blood across the floor as he carries the weapon.
Bystanders barely seem to notice that the young woman has just been hacked to death right behind them.
The suspect takes off, you know, with his bloody hoodie and then calmly waits for the train to pull into the station before exiting the train.
But in the wake of the killing which took place, mainstream outlets, politicians have largely stayed silent on this.
And I'm like, this this is life in big cities and small towns.
I'm betting when we get to the bottom of it, this person probably has a rap sheet a mile long also.
The president reacted to the fatal stabbing of this 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte, and he said the U.S. has got to act against evil people for the good of the country.
We we we're all people of religion, but there are evil people.
There are.
And we have to we have to confront this evil.
I give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed by in Charlotte by this madman, a lunatic just got up and started.
It's on tape.
Nobody's showing it.
Nobody should show it, to be honest.
You don't you don't want to see the this tape.
Over the years, the tapes that I've had, I've watched because of what I do for a living.
You know, people being beheaded.
You know how hard it is to cut off somebody's head?
Not easy.
It's not like, you know, in the movies where you take a samurai sword and just cut, no, you have to actually saw the head off.
You know, we saw this with ISIS and the beach.
And now even maybe the worst part.
GoFundMe had to yank online fundraisers for the maniac accused of murdering this Ukrainian refugee woman on this train.
The fundraising pages suggested that this career criminal.
We know at least 14 prior arrests, is just as much a victim as the woman that he, you know, stabbed dozens of times in this random attack, helping the 35-year-old homeless suspect would also support the fight against racism and bias against our people, one fundraiser reckon.
While what happened on the blue line was a tragedy, what we mustn't lose sight of is the fact that De Carlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina.
I mean, this is madness.
This is like the left, you know, turning Luigi Mangioni into a hero.
There's an absolute lunatic.
You know, but this person caught on videotape, just completely unaware of what's about to happen.
And Charlotte's mayor, by the way, did thank the media for helping, you know, cover up the ambush attack.
I'm not sure uh how to really take this, but North Carolina's Democratic mayor thanked the media for not airing the video.
I'm fine with not airing the video.
I am I don't think most people can tolerate witnessing the degree of evil that exists.
You know, Linda, I think I sent it to you.
I sent I I got video of Russian soldiers and war crimes that they committed sent to me by a pretty high level source.
And when you see the assassination videos of people, it just it just it makes you sick to your stomach.
The mayor says the video of the harper, but then again, maybe I'm wrong.
Because the mayor says the video of this heartbreaking attack that took this woman's life in public.
I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the footage out of respect for the family.
I can respect that part.
The IDF has shared with me video that I actually at one point was begging them to release.
Because we have this rise in virulent hatred and anti-Semitism.
We have it in on in the halls of Congress, college campuses, online commentary, a bunch of very ignorant people out there.
And on this videotape, you see beheadings, you see rape, you see murder, you see murder of children.
And it's all there.
And I asked the IDF at the time, why don't you let me pixel out the faces of the people that are victims and show the video so people understand the evil and the horror that took place.
Again, based on Israel's population size versus ours, it's the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans in a day.
We know how America reacted.
We're almost on the anniversary of 91101.
We know we lost 2,977 Americans that day.
By the way, 911 related illnesses are real.
There was a story out this weekend how many hundreds of thousands more have been impacted and have gotten cancer because of their exposure at ground zero and the toxic chemicals than that we didn't give them the proper equipment at the time.
That is a very real phenomenon, by the way.
Now, on the other hand, we have President Trump's DC crackdown is an article on Fox News.com.
Between 2019 and 2021, African American victims accounted for 96% of all homicides in the district.
Now we have a 50% reduction in violent crime in Washington, D.C. Well, whose lives are we saving?
We're saving the lives of minorities in America in America.
Why aren't Democratic politicians cheering this to the credit of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, she is.
We saw over the weekend, you know, Donald Trump called it, you know, talking about Chicago, you know, Chicago lips now, like apocalypse now.
I love the smell of deportations in the morning.
Chicago's about to find out why it's called the Department of War.
He's not talking about going on the street.
Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, who is a complete idiot.
You know, we can't incarcerate our way out of violence, he said.
He said, it is racist and it's immoral and it's unholy.
Okay, and I didn't get the statistics from this past weekend.
We'll get them and share them with you.
How many people were shot, how many people were shot and killed, but um the numbers there.
You know, if I had to guess 20 some odd people likely shot, number of people probably dead, because you can predict it with somewhat of a somewhat pinpoint accuracy on any given weekend.
You know, Democrats slamming Donald Trump for wanting to bring safety and security, law and order to Chicago.
And okay, while the president may not be able to act on that front, he's gonna act on the front of illegal immigrants because according to the Constitution and our supremacy clause, the jurisdiction to enforce federal laws lies with the federal government, and there's not a damn thing that they can do.
I noticed they were trying to grill Tom Homan over this over the weekend.
I'll tell you what they said in a minute.
One ex-Chicago police chief said Democrats are afraid that Donald Trump will fix the crime rate.
You know, Donald Democrats slam Trump for war threats targeting the city.
There is already a war in the streets of Chicago, and their citizens are dying.
You know, Jake fake Jake Tapper, you know, asking, you know, the issue about Donald Trump saying, I love the smell of deportations in the morning.
And he asked Holman about it.
He says, President Trump planning to go to war in Chicago.
Homan said, No, we're going to war with criminal cartels.
We're going to war with the illegal aliens, public safety threats that rape our children, that rape citizens that are committing armed robberies, uh, that distribute narcotics, got to kill Americans.
We're at war with criminal cartels, and Governor Pritzker protects criminals, illegal aliens, and public safety threats every day in that state.
And he's not wrong.
800 941 Shauna's a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to take a second to hear the immortal Bob Grant's thoughts about the world today.
Hey, uh, ladies and gentlemen, it's sick.
And it's getting sicker.
Now, back to the Sean Hannity show.
All right, 25 now till the the top of the hour.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, the anniversary of 9 1101 is coming this week, and so it's the perfect time to be thinking about our friends at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, uh founded in the aftermath of 9 11.
And it's your support, your generosity, your thoughtfulness, your kindness that makes a lasting difference in the in real people's lives, lives like the Clark family, U.S. Air Force technical sergeant, Jesse Clark's military service came to an end after a chemical exposure caused a large tumor to form in his brain.
As a result, he's paralyzed on the left side of his body.
He's legally blind, he's prone to memory loss.
He's in a wheelchair for the remainder of his life.
But because you stepped up and you've been so generous, all friends like you helped the Tunnel to Towers Foundation build this hero a new smartphone to help him live a more independent life.
And so many more families like the Clark families need your help now.
Now, since Tunnel to Towers was founded after the horrific events of 9-11, America's Heroes, they have given so much.
And this, frankly, is our way to say thank you in a lasting way, in a meaningful way.
Whatever you can donate, if especially $11 a month makes this work.
It just does.
And as many people, if you can step up, join us, and support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, go to their website.
It's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Found.
Um, let's go to Jasmine Crockett.
You know, there's some very good reasons why some people commit crimes.
Listen.
I I want people to understand that there are crimes that are committed, not because people are criminals, but because they literally are trying to survive.
They're just trying to survive.
Therefore, why would we punish people that are just trying to survive?
That's basically what she's saying.
Um that's the mindset of the radical left today.
That's it.
Linda, I actually pulled this up for you.
Um we have Dr. Joseph Latipo, I've interviewed him before.
He is the Florida Surgeon General.
And anyway, he went on with fake uh Jake Tapper on Sunday, and he this was in response to his push to end all school vaccine mandates in the state.
And he said that his plan will end every vaccine mandate for Florida school kids, including for polio measles, all the way across the board.
The president said, Yeah, he's not sure if he wants to get rid of all the mandates, but it's a conversation I think certainly Worth having.
And I know most people think, oh, that's the because we've been in if you grow up with something, you begin to think, okay, when's the last case of polio we've ever heard of?
Um, you know, uh I what when you start vaccinating people by the time they're 18 and you have 76 vaccinations.
So I went back to the year I was born.
I went to Grok, which is artificial intelligence, and I said, You're born the year I was born.
How many vaccinations were mandated if you were a young child?
And it says you'd have about five vaccines total, no mandates everywhere when the year I was born, but states did push hard for small pop pox, diphtheria, tetanus, uh protussis, and polio, and that was roughly 11 shots over the early years, mostly through the school rules starting in the 50s.
Massachusetts led with small pox for kindergarten, but it varied, you know, place to place, and many, many districts urged it, but they didn't enforce it.
By the 70s, boosters kicked in, uh, but not for my school year years, and basically, if you want to keep it simple, it was five diseases, not the 42 that they pile on now, and by the time somebody's 18, it's 76 shots.
And I only raise this to ask you this question.
It seems shocking based on the fact that you know everybody's grown up with it, so we just assume that it's needed.
We assume it's needed, and it's not necessarily so.
Um, I prefer the people make their own decisions in life.
Anyway, that's that's my personal decision.
I think that it's a very personalized thing.
It's like I'm not gonna play doctor on radio, I'm not gonna play doctor on TV.
I don't know anything about your your current health condition.
I don't know anything about pre-existing conditions, I don't know anything about comorbidities in your life.
I don't know anything about your children.
I don't know what your your level of risk aversion happens to be or not be, but I do like the idea of medical freedom, medical privacy, uh, generally speaking.
Um maybe are there a few vaccinations that should be mandated to get your kid off the school.
Okay, I'm willing to have that conversation with anybody.
Um let's go back to last week.
Rosie O'Donnell made this comment after the Minneapolis uh shooting in inside the church at that school, and this is what she said.
So about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right back to Columbine in 1999 when I just could not get it through my head that students in America were shooting each other in schools, and this was a church inside a Catholic school.
And what do you know?
Is a white guy, Republican, MAGA person.
What do you know?
White supremaced.
White guy, Republican, MAGA person, white supremacist.
Uh, then it was oopsie daisy, not true.
Apology time.
I know a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days.
I didn't go online and haven't seen them till today.
But you are right.
I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement.
And uh I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.
I assumed like most shooters, they followed uh a standard MO and and had standard uh, you know, feelings of of uh, you know, uh NRA loving kind of gun people.
Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up.
I'm sorry.
This is my apology video, and I hope it's enough.
I hope it's enough.
Now, not to be outdone.
You think you you might learn your lesson after being that dramatically wrong, apparently not in Rosie's case.
He goes on fake news, Jim Acosta's podcast.
Didn't know he still existed.
I knew he got you know, he's out at fake news CNN, and then smears Trump uh by saying this.
How dare he?
For every child that was ever raped by a grown man, how dare he?
How dare he?
We are mighty.
One in three girls suffers child sex abuse.
One in five boys.
Those are the statistics, America.
Wake up.
Yeah.
Wake up.
Our president is a serial pedophile rapist.
And that's what he is.
Serial pedophile rapist.
Now, he pay, and then she claimed that he paid a billion dollars to Epstein.
Alan Dershowitz.
Now, you got to understand, I've known Alan Dershowitz for decades.
Alan Dershowitz has a long career of defending very, very controversial people, starting with O.J. Simpson.
And he just is a believer that everybody deserves a defense.
Put it aside, whether you agree or disagree.
And he once served as Epstein's attorney.
He addressed these claims, and he said, Trump didn't pay this guy any money, not a penny.
And he said, I was Epstein's lawyer.
I know the relationship between Trump and Epstein.
It ended early on in time.
Now, I know that story.
That story is about, you know, the very publicly humiliating a couple of decades ago, Epstein, who had been a member at Mar-a-Lago, and he was thrown out of Mar-a-Lago for the way he treated young women at the club.
Donald Trump threw him out, humiliated him, embarrassed him.
Does that sound like the actions of somebody that would you do that if somebody had any incriminating material on you?
Probably not.
But that's that's the case.
So if I'm Donald Trump, knowing Donald Trump, why do I think Rosie's about to get slapped with a massive lawsuit?
And Dershuis added, of course she could be sued.
There's malice there.
I'd be happy to sue Rosie.
She's a despicable liar, he said, and defamer of people.
She shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
He said, I'll volunteered pro bono to help out with anybody who wants to sue Rosie O'Donnell on behalf of the president.
Rosie's not above the law.
The president's not below the law.
He has the right to sue for defamation if he can demonstrate malice.
And I think malice in this case is very, very clear.
There's no evidence at all that suggests this.
So she's kind of lost her mind.
But now she's going to find herself in legal jeopardy.
And uh say whatever you will, whether you like the fact that Dershowitz defends controversial figures or not, he's a good lawyer.
He's a smart guy.
Linda, you might like this.
I I actually, sweet baby James sent me this today, and I was very interested by this.
A new MBC poll, Gen Z, a list of choices.
How to define personal success.
So I'm going to test you.
Have you seen the article yet?
If you have, I can't really test you.
I have seen it, yes.
You're talking about where they rate certain priorities.
Respondents 18 to 29 asked their personal definition of success.
And they rank them.
If you're a female that voted for Kamala Harris, you know, what is your number one choice?
A male that voted for Kamala Harris, a female that voted for Donald Trump, a male that voted for Donald Trump.
If you're a female that voted for Harris, your number one answer in terms of what's important to your personal definition of success is having a job or career you find fulfilling.
If you're a male that voted for Harris, having a job or career you find fulfilling.
If you're a female that voted for Trump, achieving financial independence, which by the way, I think is a good goal.
I mean, you don't want to be overly ambitious, but to be independent as an individual, and I say that as somebody that started with zero money in my adult life, live paycheck to paycheck.
It just, you know, there's a certain freedom that you get.
You don't get happiness with money, but you get a certain freedom.
The ability to make choices.
Men that voted for Donald Trump in this age bracket, their number one definition of personal success is having children.
Would you ever guess that?
I never would have guessed that.
There's a very strong uprising of great Christian American, dedicated young men.
They are focused on faith and family.
It's it's definitely inspiring.
men that voted for Donald Trump, achieving financial independence was number two.
Having a job or career you find fulfilling number three.
Four is being married.
Now, either having children or being married, only men that voted for Trump in this age bracket have it in their top five.
The only other one that has one category is females that voted for Donald Trump in this age bracket.
And number no, it's actually not even in the top five.
It's I think it's it's it's number six having children.
I guess being married being married is number nine.
Men want to get married more than women.
Now that might break stereotypes, does it not?
Am I wrong about that?
I don't think you're wrong about it.
I just think in general, there is a group of people that follow Kamala who had assorted past, didn't have any children of her own, and you know, definitely married somebody who had been married before and had some interesting relationships from the reports we got during her run.
Um, I just think that there's a certain type of person that follows that.
Now Donald Trump certainly has his own issues with being married and remarried and all the things, but he's definitely somebody who loves children, takes care of his family and is devoted to his children.
So as far as I can see, his children and his grandchildren are his world.
Uh even an MSDNZ host called out Rolling Stone and the rest of the state run legacy media mob for claiming that Donald Trump was booed repeatedly by the crowd at the Sunday uh Sunday's men final at the U.S. Open.
I don't know.
Did you watch any of the tennis match?
It was actually pretty interesting.
I didn't, but I watched the Bills game last night.
I tell you what, that was a humdinger of a game.
Oh my God.
Umdinger of a game.
Was it a humdinger?
It was so good.
I was on the edge of my seat.
Did you see somebody cross the plane?
Or you wouldn't have to be a good one.
I saw lots of crossing the plains.
I saw, you know, a two-point conversion.
What is what does cross the plane mean?
It's when you you know, you get your touchdown.
When you get your touchdown.
How?
Like crossing the plane.
You're welcome, America.
Uh, I'm just gonna let it go because it's gonna take too much.
The jury selection has begun in the Trump assassination attempt case.
You might remember this is gonna be in Fort Pierce, Florida.
That's where the federal trial of Ryan Routh, remember the guy who tried to he was the guy in the bushes, thank God that Secret Service agent.
Remember they didn't sweep the holes that are known to have paparazzi hiding in the bushes because they're covered these holes by a lot of it's a treat area.
I I couldn't believe that day.
I went to breakfast with Steve Whitkoff that morning and he's begging me to play that day.
And I'm like, I I just don't play enough golf.
I'm not good enough to play with you guys.
And he's like, I don't know, come an hour and a half later, he calls me.
Uh yeah, uh I think they just tried to kill the president again.
Turned out that the shot was fired by a secret service agent with a incredibly sharp eye.
Um, and thank God that he did.
Uh I will tell you, if the left now if if their mission is to go after Trump on immigration and fight for open borders, and their their goal is, you know, defund dismantled no bail laws, reimagine the police, and resist any attempts to keep people in their towns and cities safe and and resist the president's offer of assistance.
If they want to continue being against hard working men and women and vote against the largest tax cut in history and voting against working men and women by eliminating tax on tips and souls and overtime and social security for older people, if their goal is to keep energy prices high and not move towards energy dominance, then they're gonna lose.
If they don't understand Donald Trump's role in creating peace around the world, including in the Middle East and all the other areas of conflict and eat and India and Pakistan, Egypt, Somalia, Cambodia, Thailand, Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
If they don't want to give him credit for any of this, let him keep going.
That's why it does not, you know, I've kind of come to the conclusion, and we'll play some of the Bernie Sanders grandpa Bernie uh Marxist Kami Mamdanny, you know, moments from this weekend later in the program.
But if this is where they're headed as a party, I'm all for it.
Jasmine Crockett wants to make excuses for people that commit crime.
Let them be the party of crime.
Let them be the party of illegal immigrants.
Let them be the champions of men's rights to play women's sports.
Let them be the champion of higher taxes, more bureaucracy.
I'm okay with it.
Because in the end, that's not going to get them elected.
Six people, 18 people shot, six dead in Chicago, but they don't need any help, according to the mayor and the governor.
