All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free number this Friday.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza.
Caroline Levitt is just crushing it.
Linda, did you see her yesterday?
I mean, just a beatdown of the legacy media mob.
I have said this so many different times.
There's a big difference between me as I am a member of the press.
Obviously, I'm on radio.
I'm on television.
People in the press have different roles.
I am very straightforward about what we do.
I can produce thousands and thousands of hours of straight news coverage, both on radio and TV.
No opinions at all whatsoever, covering a news event, hours and hours of investigative reporting, Obama's radical background all the way through the Russia hoax and FISA abuse and Russia, Russia, Russia, you name it.
We've been right.
They've been wrong.
Ferguson, Missouri, Freddie Gray, Baltimore, UVA, Duke La Crosse, Trayvon Martin, what happened down in Florida, my home state now.
And they claim that they're journalists.
You know, I admit we do news.
We do local news.
We do state news.
We do international news.
We also do opinion.
I'm up front.
I'm a conservative.
We talk about culture.
We talk about sports.
I'm like an entire newspaper.
That's what this show is.
I am upfront that I am a conservative.
I'm upfront that I support Donald Trump and conservative causes.
I don't hide my political opinions.
That's like the opinion page of your newspaper.
They claim that they're a journalist.
They're not.
Caroline Levitt just pounded this guy yesterday on this issue.
Why was Renee Goode unfortunately and tragically killed?
Are you asking me my opinion?
Because an ICE agent acted recklessly until we got justified.
Oh, okay.
So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion.
What do you want me to do?
Yeah, because you're a left-wing hack.
You're not a reporter.
You're posing in this room as a journalist.
And it's so clear by the premise of your question.
And you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you're a journalist, you shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.
But you're pretending like you're a journalist, but you're a left-wing activist.
And the question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias.
Look at the headline from CNN.
Protests erupt after federal agent shoots man in Minneapolis.
That is not the story.
That is not the truth.
If you actually want to know the truth, you can look at what the Department of Homeland Security released, which is that this ICE agent was executing a targeted operation against a Venezuelan illegal alien who was unlawfully present in a country who fled by car and then fled by foot.
And when this ICE agent tried to detain the individual, three more of his comrades came rushing out of a house and started ambushing and attacking the ICE agent.
They used a shovel or a broom to smash his face in.
And so, yes, that agent had to use self-defense and take up his weapon to protect his own life.
Wow.
Amazing.
I wish more people would take on the left-wing legacy media mob like that.
By the way, before we get to our next guest, Byron Donalds is going to join us, Congressman Byron Donalds.
My Florida Panthers, two-time Stanley Cup champions, were at the White House yesterday and it was pretty funny.
Listen.
Good-looking people, young, beautiful people.
I hate them.
You hate standing here with all this power behind you.
But I got power too.
It's called the United States military.
By the way, the Panthers are going to be getting back.
Chuck and Barkov.
And I mean, their four best players right now have been injured, but they're going to be on fire when it comes time for the Stanley Cup finals.
They'll be there.
Anyway, Byron Donalds, my fellow Floridian, he sits on the House Oversight Committee, is here for a whole variety of topics.
Isn't it great when the media gets called out because they are so corrupt and abusively biased?
You've experienced this as an elected official your entire career.
No, it's great when they get called out.
And Sean, one, it's cathartic when you do it yourself.
But you've got to set the narrative correct because the press, the big media, they always look at things from a liberal Democrat socialist view instead of from reality.
So you're constantly having to push back, and that's the requirement of elected officials.
And obviously, Caroline Levitt being press secretary for the president of the United States, you've got to set the record straight constantly because if you don't, then their narrative persists.
But when you push back and you set them straight with the facts and with the details, it helps the American people be able to clarify what's real and what's not.
And for a long time, look, a long time, Republicans weren't pushing back, Sean.
President Trump pushes back.
Governor DeSantis pushes it back.
Obviously, Caroline.
And that's what needs to happen with Republicans going forward.
Well, we saw that in Florida yesterday.
I mean, I love what happened.
There was an anti-ICE, you know, giddy anti-ICE agitator and made the big mistake of punching a Florida trooper.
Now, I know a lot of law enforcement down in our free state of Florida.
You don't get away with punching a Florida trooper.
And by the way, the best law enforcement in the entire country.
And Governor DeSantis said, this is not Minneapolis.
Good luck.
No, that's absolutely right.
We're not going to tolerate that here ever.
Our law enforcement officials, they do their job.
They do the right thing.
They protect this state.
They protect our communities.
We're not going to have these agitators or anybody else come and either try to hurt them, harm them, harm their families, try to intimidate them, or try to stop them from doing their job.
We're not going to tolerate it in Florida.
Where do you stand in terms of oversight in the oversight committee?
You put out, I saw a post on X that the Minnesota lieutenant governor personally admonished whistleblowers at the behest of Governor Walls.
The whistleblowers now, I understand we have two affidavits signed under penalty of perjury under oath that in fact confirm that Governor Walls and the Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison,
were acutely aware of everything that was going on in terms of this institutionalized fraud now adding up into the billions and billions of dollars of monies going to the Somalian community and reports as upward of 80 to 90 percent of the Somali population in Minnesota are on some welfare program of some kind, 80 percent of kids deemed autistic daycare centers that had no kids in them ever.
Yeah, where we are right now, Sean, is first digging into all the depths of it too.
You're right.
Peggy Flanagan and Lieutenant Governor under Tim Walz, they were retaliating against whistleblowers.
So we're going to continue our look into that aspect of things because when you have the state of Minnesota stopping state, they were stopping the state employees from trying to uncover the fraud and put an end to it.
They were retaliating against them, blackballing them, threatening them that they would be fired, telling them they would never get another job in governmental service.
And so what we need to do is complete, because it's to continue to unravel that and uncover all that, because I personally believe now you're talking about conspiracy to commit fraud.
It's one thing if you're stealing money from the federal government and from taxpayers.
Yeah, and those people are all starting to, they're either getting indicted, some of them have pled guilty already.
There's a bunch more arrests that have been happening.
But now you have the governor and his team, the attorney general, they knowingly knew this was happening and they let it continue for political purposes.
That's conspiracy as far as I'm concerned.
And when we're done with our investigation, I would like to see potentially the Department of Justice look into that because you can't have state officials know that this is going on and do nothing to stop it, let alone not do anything, stop anybody else from trying to stop it.
That's conspiracy.
I'm thinking maybe for the first time, and we've been on the front lines and exposing a lot of corruption, everything from the Russia hoax and Hillary Clinton's emails to the dirty Russian disinformation dossier.
And it goes straight on down the list, the weaponization of our Justice Department.
We've covered all of it, and so many people over the years are not held accountable.
Am I wrong in believing?
I hope it's, I don't think I'm hoping here.
I'm really believing that Governor Walls is in deep trouble and could very well see an indictment.
Do you see that on the horizon based on what you're seeing?
I think it's possible, but look, there's a reason why Tim Walz is not running for re-election.
Sean, a month ago, he was running for reelection, and odds are he was going to get re-elected until this all came to light.
And then all of a sudden, he said that he just wants to work on behalf of Minnesota, so he's not going to be distracted by politics.
That's a cop-out, Sean.
You know that.
The truth is that this thing goes very, very deep.
He and his team are implicated in this, and it comes from the top.
So I think it's very possible you can see an indictment.
But I think this is where the Attorney General of the United States, they're going to have to further their aspects of the investigation to get to that point.
I want to ask you about something else that I saw this week, and it's parallel to an issue I brought up many times on this program.
And I don't travel a lot overseas, but I did travel during the Christmas holiday overseas a little bit.
And what has happened in many European countries is shocking to me.
I never thought Great Britain would ever have 80-plus Sharia courts.
I'm not against immigration.
I don't believe there should be a religious litmus test at all.
However, I do believe that whatever country that you might be blessed to migrate to, that you have to assimilate into the values of that country.
It was famously of the Australian prime minister.
If you're moving to Australia, you become an Australian, right?
I think it was Prime Minister Howard at the time.
And I, because Sharia, to me, is the antithesis of everything that we view in terms of our constitutional republic.
It's the direct opposite.
And the idea that Great Britain would allow people to live separate and apart is, to me, foundationally, it can destroy a society and create a division within that society that might not be reconcilable.
And there is apparently a new caucus, the Sharia Free American Caucus in Congress, of which you're a part of.
And you wrote, Sharia has no place in America.
We will not surrender our freedoms.
Now, some people say, oh, that might be discriminatory.
I don't think that's what you're saying.
I think what you're saying is it's the antithesis of our constitutional republic, a direct contradiction of our values.
Sean, Sharia law will destroy Western civilization.
Let's just be very clear about what we're talking about.
Sharia law will destroy Western civilization.
It's incompatible with our constitutional republic.
And so we have a responsibility to stand firm against these things.
You're right about what's happened in England and other parts of Europe.
Mass immigration with no assimilation has led to, quite frankly, now a theocratic segregation in these communities.
We're not going to tolerate that here in the United States.
I really want to commend my friend Chip Roy.
He started this caucus.
Chip Roy's running for attorney general in Texas, Texas.
You need to elect Chip Roy.
That's the guy you need to get behind.
But that being said, he's the one that spearheaded this because they're having to confront this in Texas.
There's parts of Tampa in Florida where we're having to make sure that we stand up against this as well.
And this is not about your religion.
It's not about that.
It is about you setting up a governing system within the confines of the United States and within the confines of state law, whether it's Florida, Texas, Alabama, or any other state in the country.
And the two things cannot abide.
So we're going to look at every measure, whether it's by law or even if it has to be by court doctrine to make sure that we protect the constitutional Republican framework of the United States and Western civilization.
Are you still running for governor of Florida?
I'm torn a little bit.
I mean, I love you in Congress.
I think you've become one of the more powerful, conservative, reliable conservative voices.
But I also want Florida to remain free.
I have a vested interest in that continuing.
Well, Sean, Governor DeSantis has done a great job leading our state.
Florida would not be in a position it's in without him.
But in Florida, we have term limits and we're going to elect a new governor.
And, you know, as I've been crisscrossing the state of Florida over the last 10 months, I've been sharing my background.
I spent 17 years in the financial world.
I was a businessman before I came into politics.
I'm a Tea Party guy in 2009.
I was in the original Tea Party movement, a leader in Southwest Florida.
I want Florida to remain the free state of Florida, to be the leader of conservatism in the United States like it is today.
But we also are going to plan for Florida's future.
We have to plan for Florida's future.
I'm 47 years old, Sean.
I've moved to Florida when I was 17.
When I'm 77, I want Florida to remain the best state in America, well past my term as the state's next governor.
I'm committed to doing that.
This is why Donald Trump has endorsed me to be Florida's next governor.
I'm really excited, but Florida's the best.
We're the crown jewel.
We're the best state, but we have to remain that way.
And that's being committed to principle.
It's being committed to law enforcement and law and order in our state, to conservative free market economics, and continuing to build the best state in the country.
I agree about Florida.
It is the best move I ever made now in my third year in the free state of Florida.
Although I've had property, to be honest with you, down here for 25 years, even in your district.
So we're going to obviously follow this and make sure Florida stays free for sure.
And we appreciate your time.
We appreciate all you're doing and your leadership.
And you're always welcome on this program, Congressman.
And thanks for all you're doing.
We're going to follow the campaign very closely, as you know.
Listen, thank you, Sean.
Keep doing what you're doing, man.
You're the best.
God bless you.
God bless you.
800-941-Sean, our number.
Now, you didn't tell me, I said, Linda, did you see the debate I had last night with Democrat from California, Roquana?
Although I think I made a mistake when I first introduced him, but I corrected myself later.
And you didn't tell me whether you liked it or not.
Why is that?
Well, I don't really like him, but I thought you did a great job.
All right.
I've gotten a lot of feedback on it.
It's kind of gone a little viral.
Why don't we play at least some of it, as long as you think it's interesting, and then you can grade me on the other end of it?
And then I see we have a lot of calls from we have a couple of people in Minnesota who want to talk to us and around the country.
But I think it just illustrates, and I just want people to know the visual of this.
And I've been talking about this today.
I was scrolling a list of the worst crimes committed by the most violent people, the worst illegals that have been arrested.
I have 16 type pages of this.
Murder, manslaughter, rape, assault, drugs, you know, cartels, you name it.
I did think it was pretty funny that he was like, we got to bring down the temperature.
You're like, get off your ass.
I'm like, it's like the opposite, but it's funny.
I think these guys, well, let's play it.
All right.
I have a couple of questions just to set the table here.
Since Tim Walz has been president, a number of people in Minnesota have been killed by Biden and Harris Mayorkis illegals that were allowed into the country.
Can you name one of those people?
I know there were three named, three killed, and my heart goes out to them.
I appreciate that.
Do you know the name of any of them?
I don't know the name off the top of my head.
No, but that, but let me just say this.
I condemn the murder.
I condemn the murder, and I don't think that if you've committed a violent crime, that you should be in this country.
I have no problem.
And I do believe that deportation of people who killed folks like Lake and Riley, they don't belong in this country.
And that has been my consensus.
I appreciate that.
All right.
Let me, while we're doing this segment, I'm going to put a list of the worst illegals that have been arrested by ICE agents.
I have 16 printed pages here, Congressman.
16.
Talking about murder, manslaughter, rape, assault, drugs, children being raped.
I'll scroll the list so our audience can see.
Now, I know you voted against the Lake and Riley Act, but if you look at the President's speech before a joint session of Congress, I didn't see anybody in your party stand for the family of Lake and Riley or the family of little 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungari, who was brutally murdered and raped by a Biden-Harris illegal.
Did you stand for those families in solidarity and sympathy with them?
I didn't see you standing.
I stood for the boy with cancer.
I don't remember.
I didn't ask that.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
You don't remember or you didn't stand?
Did you stand for the family of Lake and Riley when they were introduced?
Did you stand for the family of Jocelyn Nungarry?
I did not stand because I did not agree with the president's positions on immigration, but I honor that family.
I honor children.
The 12-year-old girl was brutally raped and murdered, and a young nursing student was brutally murdered.
And you can't stand for families in solidarity with them?
Don't you think that's a little heartless, Congressman?
Sean, my heart goes out to them.
They endured a horrible.
Why didn't you stand for them then?
Why didn't you just stand up for them?
I would be happy to stand for them.
I didn't stand for parts of the president's speech that I disagreed with.
You know that.
In politics, you don't have to have a cent in this country.
We have free speech.
I honor them.
You can have all the free speech you want, but I don't think it's political.
If they're recognizing a president is recognizing a family that lost a loved one to an illegal, I'd stand for them.
I'm scrolling some of the worst criminals that ICE has arrested in Minnesota.
And yet these agents that are going against the worst of the worst every day have been called Gestapo, Nazi, fascist, terrorists by the highest-ranking people in your party.
You have no problem with that?
Sean, I came here not to debate you, actually to appeal to you and to the President of the United States who watches your show.
How about you answer my question?
I came here to interview you.
I'm asking, is that the proper language for ICE agents' law enforcement?
I've not used that language, but let me just make my point.
I came here to hope that- Will you condemn others for using it?
Because it's being used every day.
By members of your party.
I don't use that language.
I don't think it's appropriate to use that language.
Will you condemn, though, the fact that the only conversation you're having about immigrants is them being violent criminals?
What about the immigrants who are creating small businesses?
What about the immigrants who are creating jobs?
What about the immigrants who are contributing to the country?
How about doing shows?
You know what the problem is?
I have no problem.
I'm the product of immigration.
All four of my grandparents came from Ireland at the turn of the last century.
I believe in legal immigration.
But if you don't respect America's laws, America's sovereignty, America's borders, then you have broken the law.
And I think a prerequisite to be an American citizen or have a path to citizenship even is the first thing you got to agree to is obey our laws and respect our Constitution and respect law enforcement.
My father came, he studied at the University of Michigan.
They came, they got a great card, they followed the laws.
But Sean, my point is just the coverage.
If you watch your program or Fox in general, you would think that all these immigrants are criminals.
And you know, because you're reasonable, you know that most immigrants, many immigrants in this country are hardworking, are patriots, came to this country as they allow America.
You see the point, but here's the problem.
I have been running a list, and we're not duplicating it since we started scrolling with you.
A list.
I have 16 pages.
I will send it to your office.
And these are the worst of the worst.
And these are people that were allowed in.
And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris lied to the country.
Majorca lied to the country.
They said the border's closed.
The border's secure.
And they allowed in millions and millions.
And among them, terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, and rapists and other criminals.
All right.
So I think that was worthwhile.
I mean, it's amazing that nobody knows the names of the people.
We've mentioned them on the air on this program multiple times.
And people in Minnesota that have been murdered and raped, victims of manslaughter, assault.
The number of children that have been sexually assaulted and raped is astronomical.
From all over the world.
Biden Harris is just under Trump, by the way.
Majorca, illegals, allowed into this country.
One cop assaulted this week by three people with a shovel and a broom.
Yeah, all from Venezuela.
What's my grade?
What are you giving me?
I definitely give you an A on this one.
I mean, you held his feet to the fire.
I thought you did a great job.
Wow.
That's the first A I ever got from Linda.
Brian in Minnesota on the Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Brian?
Hi, Sean.
This is Brian.
How are you doing?
I'm good, sir.
How are you?
Good to talk to you.
So I just have to say that speaking to you today is now hit my trifecta.
I've gotten to speak to Dennis Prager and Rush Limbaugh and now yourself.
So if I could sit around a campfire with some cigars, I've already hit my three people.
So it's pretty awesome.
Well, we miss Rush.
I'm so sorry what happened to Dennis.
It breaks my heart.
I've been in contact this week with his wife.
And, you know, I've been getting updates.
It's just a tragedy.
He's such a brilliant man.
He's done such good work.
Rush was such a patriot.
His voice will forever be missed.
I, you know, I said at the time of his passing, nobody could ever replace him.
And I know what he'd want us all to do, and that is to up our game and to fight for the things he believes in.
And I know he'd be proud of so many of you.
And to further that, I agree with what you're saying, but I think he also would want us to have dialogue with each other.
So I called in today to give a perspective of, you know, being in Minnesota.
I've been here all my life.
And just to give a quick background, just to eliminate any prejudices, I've grown up in Minnesota other than the five years I lived in California where I met my wife and started raising a family.
And when I met her, she had part of her family was Latino.
And I fell in love with her family because of the love and the culture, even though she's not Latino.
But then moving fast forward, my son met a Latino girl.
And so now I have two amazing Latino grandsons.
So to say that Minnesota has completely changed from where, from what I grew up in is an understatement.
My wife and I, we became anti-nessors very early.
So one of the things that we loved to do was to basically just explore into the cities.
We live, we're missed in a small town exactly between Minneapolis and St. Cloud.
And so we love to go to the cities on the weekends and just explore and have some fun.
You know, we would go to many of the restaurants.
And a lot of people don't know that some of the most world-renowned chefs, they start restaurants in Minneapolis.
And there's a vibrant or was a vibrant restaurant industry here.
There's Uptown, the Mall of America, which most Minnesotans know probably for the last 10 years.
I think the whole country knows, but what about it?
You just don't go there.
You just don't go there.
The police don't even go there in most cases.
But, you know, like, for instance, there's also Rice Park in St. Paul.
We used to take our grandkids there during the Christmas season and to look at all the lights and go play in the snow and things like that.
And those are just all things that are gone now.
And I'm hoping that they'll come back.
But, you know, Minnesotans understand that we need this to happen right now.
It's so unfortunate.
And I just want to say that I feel like we are really living in an era of the Ephesians 6, 12 timeframe.
It is really a good versus evil time.
And the reason why I say that, Sean, is, you know, when Charlie Kirk died, it was put on my heart to start to do something, just like everybody else had that same feeling.
So I decided to start an online church.
And, you know, we've got only like 55 followers.
But what I really want to teach people is that, you know, we need to be back on fire for God again.
And that means caring for other people, but it also means to face evil in its face and to conquer it and not be so passive and just letting evil just kind of be in the realm of where we're at.
You know, and I just came across a verse this morning in Romans 13.
It talks about how all authority is appointed by us, by God, and that we need to follow those authorities.
Otherwise, we're disobeying God if we're disobeying the authorities.
And that's why I say I feel like we're facing good and evil.
Because if you look at the authority that we have now versus the authority that we had under Bible, you know.
Let me interrupt you in one sense, because the authorities at the time of Jesus, you know, the Pharisees, the Sodducees, et cetera, the, quote, leadership.
I mean, if you look at the people that Jesus, you know, healed, the poor, the sick, the, you know, people in need, all the people that he healed.
Now, the beginning of his ministry was, you know, within the Jewish community, but then he talked about, you know, sending the apostles out to all the world and preaching the message of salvation for all men.
But the authorities at the time didn't like the fact that he called out their power and called them hypocrites and called them bony people that didn't serve the people.
But I agree with you that it should be about service.
I think that was the whole message of Jesus.
And I think it transcends, you know, America founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
If you look at the Bibles, the Old and New Testament, it's simple.
Doesn't it really come down to love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself?
And upon all those two principles, rest all the laws of the prophets and the message of Jesus himself.
You know, love others as I have loved you.
That really is the entire ministry of Jesus.
He summed it up in those two, love God and love others.
But yes, you're correct.
He did have conflict with the Pharisees and he called them out for their wrongs, but he didn't break the laws in order to do it that we have now.
And that's why I feel like we're fighting good versus evil, because Ephesians 6.12 says to put on the full armor of God, as you know.
And you've said this many times on air, and I so appreciate hearing when you do your preaching.
And I would just say that the reason why I say we're in this realm is because if you look at how things are handled under this authority, the rebellion that's taken place, well, this wasn't in existence when Biden was president or Obama or the other Democrat presidents, the way that I see it.
It just feels like the way that we approach our authority level.
Brian, I'm just up on the clock here.
I mean, I could talk to you about God and Jesus all day long and what has happened.
But remember this, evil will always be among us.
And don't ever forget that part.
All right.
But I mean, I think your message comes out loud and clear, though.
Appreciate it, man.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Oh, by the way, Linda, guess who we have on tonight?
You know, Sri Banadar, the Democratic lunatic that wants to get rid of ICE?
That ought to be interesting for a Friday night, don't you think?
I think you'll have a very fun time with him.
He doesn't even know who his constituents are.
All right.
Calls for more protests.
Bill Malushan on the ground.
Greg Palcott tonight, the latest out of Iran.
All eyes on Iran the next couple of days.
Ron DeSantis, the great one, Mark Levin, will be with us.
Stephen Miller, Greg Jarrett, and Tommy Larin at the Furry Convention.
