This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Happy Monday, if there is such a thing, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, scariest part of the weekend.
And, you know, I am very concerned about the culture of assassination that has emerged in this country.
I hope my instincts are wrong.
I fear that there are, you know, copycat, you know, the culture is such and the incendiary language is so over the top that, you know, unfortunately, the possibility is certainly out there that these lunatics are gonna go after people.
Um the FBI now, FBI director Cash Patel Secret Service confirming that a hunting stand with a line of sight to an Air Force One exit area was found near Palm Beach International Airport before President Trump was set to arrive.
In a post on ex Patel confirmed in a statement to Fox News that the FBI and Secret Service are investigating the matter.
No person linked to the stand, he said.
U.S. Secret Service spotted the suspicious stand near the Air Force One zone in Palm Beach.
By the way, this is not a hunting area.
I know the area.
It does not.
Uh and prior to the president's return to West Palm Beach, the president was down for a golf event with Gary Player this weekend.
The Secret Service discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight of Air Force Air Force One and the airport where President Trump lands and where he would come down the steps as the president was seen getting on the remember they started putting Joe Biden on the smaller stairs in the back where usually the press goes up and staff goes up and not the steep stairs that the president takes all the way up to the top of Air Force One.
Anyway, he went back up that way, not for the reasons Joe was using it.
Anyway, uh Patel said no individuals located at the scene.
Uh they're taking the lead, but I can tell you, and I've talked to people that know the area way better than me, that this is not a place in any way, shape, manner, or form for anybody to have a hunt to be hunting anything.
So certainly odd to say the least and scary to say the least.
Uh, President uh talking about, well, if if they're not going to do it, we're gonna have to do it.
And that is, I'll give you an example, and that is the insurrection act.
And we'll get into this question with Horace Cooper and Greg Jarrett later in the program.
What is somebody supposed to do?
What do you want your federal government to do in the case of J.B. Pritzker?
That just the blabbermouth idiot that he is, governor of Illinois.
And you have blabbermouth, you know, has had what, 4,000 people, homicides, deaths, murders in in his state since this guy's been governor.
You know, if you want to look at Chicago this weekend, actually, for them, relatively quiet, four people killed, fourteen wounded.
How many of you know the name of any of those 18 people?
None.
That's my guess.
Not one.
Anyway, so the victims ranged in age from 18 to 68, four people killed, 14 more wounded, shootings all across Chicago.
It's like it's it's like a war zone in this city.
You would think, especially after seeing the success of our nation's capital in Washington, D.C., even a Democratic governor, uh mayor Muriel Bowser praising President Trump.
You think that maybe, you know, people like J.B. Pritzker would be happy to welcome the National Guard that President Trump has been offering.
As a recent poll taken by MPR in Illinois found 61% of Illinois residents have considered moving out since Pritzker became governor.
And worse, the city of Chicago, the epicenter of Pritzker's failed policies and his idiot Mayor Johnson have seen so many residents head for the exits that Chicago's population now stands at their lowest level in more than a century.
And polling from MPR found 61%.
Now, what I don't what I don't understand is this, if that's a real number, real poll, how come the people of Illinois never elect a Republican to these positions.
Because that makes absolutely no sense.
But anyway, 61% of residents have considered moving out of state.
You know, the year that Pritzker got elected was 2019.
One of the number one reasons taxes.
What do you think the number the next reason is law and order?
You know, if you look at according to the Census Bureau, Chicago's population was 2,000, I'm sorry, 2,664,000.
You know, Chicago's population is lowered now than it was in 1920 when it stood at 2.7 million.
The number of Windy City residents actually peaked in 1950 at 3.6 million.
I mean, they're chasing people out left, right, and sideways.
What do you think is going to happen when when Comrade Marx's Mamdani is elected mayor of New York?
I'm I'm not optimistic that this guy's going to be stopped.
I'm just not, in spite, even in spite of all the controversy.
And that is mayoral candidate Mamdani, you know, who's out there campaigning with this crazy Brooklyn Imam.
I know many are reporting with an unendicted co-conspirator.
I asked Andy McCarthy about it.
He said he wasn't that.
Um, what was the exact words he used because he was one of the prosecutors in that case, and I did ask him about it, and he said the post is fair in their description of Imam Wahaj as a terrorist apologist.
I think he's referring to, you know, him openly defending the blind sheikh who's ultimately convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Uh he testified in support of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, again, more famously or infamously known as the blind sheikh, linked to multiple terror attacks and convicted for the 93 plot to bomb multiple New York City landmarks.
Uh Wahaj himself denies ties to terrorism, and he's the one that pointed to authorities, uh pointed authorities at three of his children convicted in 2018 of kidnapping 11 kids in New Mexico in a New Mexico compound.
I mean, none there's nothing about this guy that I like or is good.
But here's the thing is, you know what?
Most people would probably stay away from a controversial imam if you have a comfortable lead leading into a mayoral race in a city as big as New York City.
Uh, but you know, I I guess that and then there are other mayoral candidates, as Mamdani's been saying that also courted this Imam.
But, you know, Mom i it is a lot of hubris, as the New York Post points out.
That Mam Dami is so convinced that he has the mayor's race in the bag that he's, you know, happily embracing the most extremist elements in his coalition, you know, by embracing this guy.
I mean, that's how confident he is.
You know, the I I think that the New York Post captured the problem of the Democrats on this front just just perfectly when they rightly point out the Democrats' biggest problem now isn't just Mam Dani, and I'll add to that Jasmine Crockett.
I'll add to that AOC.
I'll add to that the squad.
I'll add to that Pocahontas.
I'll add to that grandpa Bernie, the radical left.
It's the moderates, if there are any that cave to them.
I mean, Chuck Schumer, this whole Schumer shutdown goes against every single solitary stated position he's ever had about governance in Washington since he's gotten there.
And why is he doing it?
Because when he when he signed on to a continuing resolution the last time, he nearly got kicked out of his ceremonial because he's he really has no power.
He is minority leader only in name only.
I mean, you're gonna see it this week.
I bet anything I have that Hakeem Jeffries, he was asked about endorsing Zoran Mamdami, and he's gonna make his announcement.
You know, if he's endorsed the candidate, I have not, but as I indicated, I expect to have a conversation with him at some point this week in advance of early voting, which begins next weekend in New York City.
He I he I think he thinks he's gonna get concessions from Mamdani in a conversation.
You know, you got to tone down your rhetoric.
You're hurting all of us.
And he's not getting anything from Mam Dani.
Mamdani doesn't need Hakeem Jeffrey, who, again, is he's leader in name only in the House of Representatives, minority leader.
Anyway, so the socialists hits the campaign trail of a mom that speaks out, you know, in favor of the guy convicted of the 93 Trade Center bombing.
Explain that to me.
So none of it makes any sense.
You know, and all the controversial remarks will play some of them.
We have a montage of some of them will play later in the program today.
And his views on everything from gay rights to, you know, radicalism and people that are non-Muslim, I mean, are pretty over the top.
But again, there's Mamdani was asked about it over the week.
He just smirks.
You know, that phony smile.
FBI agents from that that worked on the 93 Trade Center bombing attack, you know, are absolutely apoplectic, you know, of all of this.
And I know that people have have put out a five-alarm fire, and I don't know why they keep doing this.
Linda, you probably saw it over the weekend.
If they think Curtis Slee says, and I have every no reason to doubt Curtis, that people are offering him these no-show jobs or you know, 10 the equivalent of 10 million dollars and a chauffeur limousine, you know, to drive him around anywhere he wants to go if he just would get out of the race and make room for Andrew Cuomo.
But, you know, everyone's saying, oh, these polls are so close.
They're not that close.
Mam Dani is in the best case, worst case scenario, he's still beating head to head.
And he and he absolutely destroyed and outperformed every poll in the primary against Andrew Cuomo.
And Andrew Cuomo, I read today, took off 10 days in this campaign.
You know, he is he's literally like checked out.
It's like he's not even there.
Anyway, 44.6 to 40.7.
That's a four-point race, according to this latest poll that came out from Gotham polling, and I'm like, that's not going to get you there.
And they, you know, I would just reverse it on those people saying Andrew Cuomo needs to get out.
Well, let Curtis go against him head to head and give give New York City the biggest choice election.
I am not optimistic about it, period.
End of sentence.
I'm just not.
And but it is, and I'm going to tell you the truth that nobody wants to say out loud.
I guess Donald Trump said it.
We said it already.
And that is Mamdani winning is the best thing for Republicans nationally.
Because this is like now next level, you know, socialism Marxism embraced by radical Democrats.
And the consequences are going to be severe.
Again, I go back to the example I used last week.
When JP Morgan Chase, again, think of the men that built America.
I mean, as identified with New York City, Wall Street as you can get, and they have more employees in the state of Texas, the Lone Star State, uh, God bless Texas, than they do in New York City.
That ought to tell you everything you need to know.
When Ken Griffin, Citadel, a multi, multi, multi-billion dollar investment firm and private equity firm, they packed up and left, and they, you know, Chicago and New York, and they're in they're in South Florida now.
And, you know, all of these big investment companies, private equity companies, every big bank now has offices all over South Florida.
And that's why they call it Wall Street South.
And it's only going to get bigger and it's going to have a more profound impact.
And, you know, I had a conversation with Stephen A. Smith, and we'll get into more detail about this, but he sends me videos of this King Rally.
I don't know which one it was.
And these people, F. Trump, F-ICE, you know, a big sign that they're holding up.
And I'm like, well, number one, I said they all voted, everyone there voted for Kamala Harris.
That is the Democratic Party's new radicalized base.
That is the heart and soul.
That's why Democrats can't go against them.
The first, the canary in the coal mine is when they wouldn't speak out against the rioters in the summer of love in the summer of 2020.
They're not going to speak out against AOC.
They're not going to speak out against Mamdani.
They're not going to speak out against the squad or Pocahontas and Bernie is now the voice of, you know, the movement now that is embracing, you know, radical Marxism socialism.
And now the Democrats themselves, their identity is wrapped up in them.
And I don't see anybody that has any juice to emerge and take them on and stop them.
Nor do I even see a desire.
If anything, I think it's always been the unspoken agenda language desire of Democrats, but they wouldn't say that part out loud.
And now people are, and now Americans are seeing it clearly.
And the net result has been a dramatic shift in registration nationwide, where you have millions of millions more Americans registering as Republicans and millions of millions more not registering as Democrats and then leaving the Democratic Party.
Did you watch any of these uh rallies this weekend?
I wonder if anyone, if anyone went to one of these rallies, I want to talk to them.
I told you not to go.
I tried to give a public service announcement to everyone in this audience.
If there's a rally in your town or your city, stay away.
I mean, it had all the feel.
It could be like another summer of love weekend.
Uh some minor uh uh issues, nothing major, thank God.
Um we found out a lot about this.
There was one report out today, a rally bus company website pointed out that you know, people were wondering how these organizers were able to turn out large crowds, and they did have large crowds.
And Stephen A. Smith writes me about this and shows me a video of one.
First thing I see is a guy holding a sign, F. Trump, F Ice, and F something else, but somebody's head was in the way.
I couldn't read the last one.
And he goes, I'm telling you, that means Democrats can win.
And I said, uh, yeah, of course they can always win.
I don't take I never take elections for granted, ever.
You know, until until I hear Fox News can project in this case, Donald J. Trump's elected president.
I I'm not going to be overconfident.
I'm going to tell you that every vote is going to matter and assume that your vote's going to be the deciding vote.
I can't I can tell you with confidence because of the people that did the polling, Matt Towery and Robert Cahaley in New Jersey, they have it at a one-point race for Jack Chittarelli.
I will tell you, every vote is going to matter in the state of New Jersey.
Your post article today, uh, we have Democrats that what on the city council in Passaic County, they voted against cameras with these ballots that are going to be put in a room, and there's no cameras allowed at all.
I keep saying, you know, Republicans and Democrats complain about election results historically, and they they the Democrats steadfastly do not want election integrity measures.
It's simple.
You want voter ID, signature verification.
You want chain of custody for mail-in ballots.
What does that mean at the minute that the U.S. Postal Service drops off at whatever location it happens to be, mail in ballots, that those ballots are on camera and they are put in a room that is surveilled live streamed 24-7.
You want you want to make sure you have election integrity.
That's one way to do it.
And they voted that they wouldn't put cameras in.
I mean, this is insanity.
And I know Jack Chitarelli's campaign is all over this.
Hopefully it will be appealed and hopefully it would be overturned.
Uh, but you need voter ID, signature verification, you need those cameras, live streaming.
That's chain of custody controls, updated voter roles.
You need partisan observers in every precinct around the country wherever an election's taking place, uh, watching the voting all day, the vote counting all night.
It's not complicated, and I prefer paper ballots, and I prefer prefer we do away with early voting.
I mean, the idea that you're voting now in the elections in November is nuts to me.
Uh, but we did find out according to this company website that a lot of people wondering how these organizers were able to turn out many large crowds.
Well, they apparently according to this website, they had a nationwide bus company offering luxury motor coach travel to sites of these No Kings rallies all over the country.
Uh they were now there was a fee, about 100, 200 bucks, depending on the length of your trip, but you had amenities that sound like quite a bargain according to the site, rally.com, bus trips to avoid events.
Anyway, join our on-demand, crowdsourced bus trips.
They provide transportation to all events, select an event and a list and see all the cities that are offering trips to, choose a city, review information about the rally point, including itineraries, trip status, bookings, rally partners with local charter bus companies that provide only the newest luxury motor coaches, the most reliable drivers.
They have entertainment systems, including TVs and DVD players, adjustable climate control, spacious padded reclining seats, roomy overhead bins and undercarriage storage for coolers and lawn chairs and foam fingers.
I don't know.
There are a lot, there's a lot of furries at these websites.
Did you see that?
I noticed that was taking place.
Way too many.
What if you just dressed up like um, I don't know, a mascot?
Does that make and and the mascot happens to be an animal?
Does that make you one?
I don't know, man.
All I saw was a bunch of old people.
Well, what could what is the point if I ask you a question if you don't know the answer to it?
You should know the answer to this.
You should be able to do that.
I have an answer.
It's just not FCC appropriate, so you know, I'm not saying it.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm welcome.
To avoid the legal ramification.
You know, you don't want the violation.
Fox News.com, CEO of an advocacy group, says his organization turned down an offer that would have been worth 20 million dollars to help recruit a national rally against Donald Trump.
Interest aligned with organizers.
This is in July, by the way.
So, you know, for people that say astro turfing takes place, this we Fox News reported on this in July.
You know, the organizers of the July 17th movement approached us, and in fact, we rejected an offer that was worth around 20 million dollars, according to the CEO, his name is Adam Swart and founder of Crowds on Demand.
Like, I didn't even know there's such a group as crowd.
Maybe we need to open a business, crowds on demand.
Liberals can pay us to show up because it means nothing.
And this goes to my conversation with Stephen A. Smith.
And I I gave him a long answer, which I hate texting long answers.
Don't you hate texting long answers?
I hate it.
I do.
It drives me up.
But I felt it was worth my time to do it.
And he writes me, last Wednesday, Trump is not running again for re-election.
GOP can lose this thing.
I'm telling you, I wrote back, you can always lose.
Nothing's in the bag.
That's why I'm telling people in New Jersey, assume that your vote is going to be the de the deciding vote in New Jersey right now.
It's hard for a Republican to win in New Jersey.
And the same with Virginia.
That race is tight in a two points, according to Cahaley and uh Trafalgar and Insider Advantage and Matt Towery.
Then I wrote him, however, what you are showing me here is the lunatic base of the Democratic Party that's now in control.
I said, the Democrats already have these votes.
They all voted for Kamala.
And then I quoted the sign, F. Trump, F. Trump, F. Trump, F Ice, F-Ice, you know, how's that going to play with swing voters, hardworking men and women in this country that don't have time on a Saturday because they're busy, you know, helping their kids get to their sports programs or activities?
You know, convince them that this is the party they want to align with.
This is just like Bam Dani wins, it ultimately helps Republicans.
Here's the choice America has.
And I don't know how, and I've said it in a different way on this show, I don't see how you ever reconcile those that want law and order, that believe in funding the police with the defund, dismantle, no bail, send in the social workers, reimagine the police people.
There's no common ground there.
You know, how do you reconcile those that want Biden Harris, Mayorcus, open borders, unvetted, illegals, 12 to 20 million people, and giving them free health care and free sex change operations if Coma had her way and free college tuition or taxpayer-funded sex change and health care and college tuition if if Tim Walls had his way.
And those that want legal immigration.
You know, how do you reconcile, you know, what do Americans prefer?
The largest tax cut in history, which Republicans voted for with the one big beautiful bill, or do they want the largest tax increase in history?
Do Americans want no tax on tips overtime and social security?
I think most working people and older people prefer that over the Democrats ostensibly voting.
They voted for the largest tax increase in history.
You know, do they do the American people appreciate Trump's efforts for peace around the globe, which we have chronicled at length, and he's, you know, do they appreciate any of it?
I think they do.
You know, so I mean, on the one hand, my Stephen A. Our friend says, you know, that the lunatics are killing the Democratic Party.
They need introspection, reflection, and course correction.
Okay, I agree.
But, you know, the the it was like watching a rally full of Jasmine Crockett's and AOCs and grandpa Bernie's.
That's it.
That's like that's called ratings gold.
And um, he's he's he really didn't disagree with my argument at that point.
He's like, he kind of like, yeah, you're right.
We're singing from the same hymnal here.
Um, you know, think about this.
I think this is actually interesting.
He says, you know, uh, if I was a king, why am I working my ass off?
That is a great line.
Now, for all the no kings people out there, now think about this.
Your party skipped a primary, you could coronated Kamala without a single vote.
You tried to erase Trump from the ballot when your legal warfare crushed, crashed and burned.
Um, that wouldn't be democracy under threat by Trump, but by them.
Mike Johnson said it was just a an absolute unmitigated waste of time.
And it it is it's a complete waste of time.
You know, it's a just complete and utter disaster.
Let's see who showed up.
George Conway showed up with a I am Antifa t-shirt on.
Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy headlining a no kings rally with activists that defended Hamas according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Whoopsie Daisy.
NBC's Sue O'Donnell said, oh, it was mostly older white hair folks.
I don't know what that means.
Boomers are, I got a note from somebody about all the pictures of the furries, people dressed up as animals.
I don't know if that's is that really a thing?
Come on.
I can't even I can't.
It is a thing, and there are people dressed up, they had Halloween costumes on, they came in as dinosaurs, but the whole white hair thing is real.
It's like they're going to like, you know, 55 plus communities and handing out paychecks for them to show up with signs.
It's a very real thing.
Well, not going to the villages, the people in the villages are conservative.
Those people are normal.
They got better things to do.
Um anyway, proud to say that people out here are antifer, are Antifa, No Kings organizers bragging.
MSNBC actually interviewed a unicorn at the No Kings rally.
Okay, very good.
And you have one state senator.
Well, you can take it any way you want.
You know, um, this guy, state Senator Connecticut Anwar, you know, with a sign saying, cholesterol, do your job with images of fried chicken, burger, french fries.
Many and he interpreted it to be, you know, oh, I hope Trump dies of a heart attack.
He didn't do he didn't directly mention Trump.
I think it's pretty obvious where he's coming from.
Well, there it is.
Meanwhile, the Schumer shutdown continues.
They weren't going to dare open the government beforehand.
Now now they're talking about maybe keeping it open till after Thanksgiving.
I mean, keeping it closed till after Thanksgiving.
Trump administration now is out.
There's like Trump said it this weekend.
You know, this is an opportunity for him to just put a dead end to Democrat, their their radical DEI left-wing, you know, agenda spending.
He called it a com their kamikaze pilots, as is now the standoff is in its third week, no end in sights, and goofballs and hostages.
Senate Republicans worried about the precedent all set.
I'm I'm not that worried about the precedent.
It's on them.
Republicans are supporting a clean, continuing resolution to fund the government of current levels.
They're in a good spot.
They don't want to spend $1.5 trillion on health care for illegals, refunding MPR and PBS, and for DEI initiatives around the world, not even in America.
It's crazy.
It's just kind of a no-brainer.
Not that complicated.
On the immigration front, I mentioned, you know, the fact that they caught, you know, this terrorist.
I told you, known terrorists, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, gang leaders, cartel members, President Trump, and we'll debate this in the next hour.
Greg Jarrett and Horace Cooper is saying, well, maybe time for the insurrection act.
I think there's been 16 presidents that have invoked it previously.
An illegal caught with a loaded gun after offering $10,000 to kill ICE agents.
Okay, that's a problem.
Three killed in this U.S. strike in Colombia.
The president is stepping up his efforts against the Colombian president.
He said last week, it's uh my interpretation of his comments about Maduro and Venezuela offering Trump anything that he wants is Maduro's days are numbered, and probably the same uh with his this other guy out of Colombia.
Now think about it.
Why have we allowed up to this point?
Why have we allowed America to let these narco-terrorists and with with no effort to stop them?
And we read every day about American children, Americans dying every day from these massive overdoses, and these drug addicts will kill you for 10 bucks.
Trump threatens to eradicate Hamas if they continue to violate the ceasefire agreement.
That now seems inevitable.
And he would, that's what's going to happen.
He will annihilate them.
Kip Roy urging Republicans to use the nuclear option to change the shutdown.
We'll see if that happens.
Anyway, as I reported too, Hamas terrorists captured in Louisiana.
Yeah, thank you, Biden.
Thank you, Harris.
Thank you, Mayorcus.
Borders closed, borders secure.
