DHS ICE Operations in Minneapolis 00:15:17
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Wow, what a busy Newsday.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to join us.
We've got a lot of ground to cover.
We obviously have the situation in Minneapolis getting progressively worse.
More and more radical groups are making their way inside of Minneapolis for the purpose of stirring up trouble as if it hasn't been bad enough with the officials.
And they're not stopping.
We'll play it later in the program.
You know, Jasmine Crockett, Congresswoman Omar, Congresswoman Jayapal, Chris Van Hollen, Eric Holder, Eric Swalwell, Mr. Fang Fang, Don Lemon, is out there.
By the way, he got a warning from the DHS we'll get to.
Meanwhile, the DHS, what have they been doing?
No one disputes the fact that the death of anti-ICE protester Rene Goode wasn't a tragedy.
Of course, the loss of human life is a tragedy.
There is a lesson to be learned from all of this.
Don't take your car and accelerate right at a law enforcement officer.
Nobody seems to want to focus on that reality, that threat.
Nobody in the legacy media mob is willing to do what we have done, and that is compile the list of people that have been arrested, the worst of the worst.
And I'm talking about murderers and rapists, other violent criminals, child molesters, gang leaders and trendy Aragua members, and the list goes on and on.
DHS announced this morning ICE has already removed 2,500 criminal, illegal aliens from the streets of Minneapolis alone, not just Minnesota.
We've been scrolling the list on TV of how many in Minnesota have been arrested.
Criminal illegals that makes towns and cities all over Minnesota more safe and more secure.
And the White House now blaming and slamming a mob of anti-ICE agitators that stormed into a Twin Cities church on Sunday, accusing local left-wing leaders, you know, Governor Idiot Walls and Mayor French Fry of inciting the chaos.
You know, there's no low these radical leftists won't stoop to.
White House spokesperson Abigail Johnson telling Fox News, you know, Jacob Fry, Tim Walz have whipped these rioters into a frenzy and turned them loose to wreak havoc on Minneapolis.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
I don't think leftists like this have any shea.
The Trump DOJ now vowing to prosecute Minnesota's anti-ICE church invaders.
Harmee Dillon saying two prosecutors from my office are already on their way to Minneapolis.
And the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, apparently talked to the pastor of this church and vowed to prosecute anti-ICE protesters that disrupted this church service in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Quote, attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.
If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, the DOJ will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure the rule of law prevails.
Harmee Dillon, assistant DA in charge of the Civil Rights Division, said two prosecutors from her office were already on their way to Minneapolis.
This is going to get the highest attention from the DOJ because there is no more sacred right in our Constitution than the right to assemble and pray to God, and there are federal laws that protect that right.
Alina Habas said Bondi would come down hard on these protesters, and she will.
I mean, it's a sad, pathetic thing, you know, that you, I don't know if you saw the video, we'll show you on TV tonight.
Night, the Democratic Party's illegal alien lobbyists have spent the last months complaining about ICE agents invading schools, houses of worship to catch dangerous criminal illegals.
There hasn't been a single documented case of ICE ever doing any of this, but that's their big talking point.
But we did have, and we have video of a mob of anti-ICE agitators storming this church in St. Paul, interrupting a worship service.
Videos show the agitators chanting justice for Brene Good inside the sanctuary at City's Church as the service began, raising concerns among law enforcement.
I know more and more people in the evangelical community, pastors that I know, people in churches that I know, I mean, they are hiring, they're putting in sophisticated technology, facial recognition even, and security cameras.
And they've got massive security presences just for people to go to church in peace and in safety in this day and age.
It's insane.
ICE heroes have arrested 10,000 illegals harbored by Minnesota officials so far, according to the New York Post.
I mentioned earlier, Minneapolis, this is Minnesota, the state, you know, since the start of the second Trump administration.
3,000 cuffed in the last six weeks alone, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
You know, we're talking about people that were killing Americans, raping children, reigning terror in Minneapolis because French Fry and Timmy Walls refused to protect people in their community and are demonizing these officers from doing their job.
Illegal alien patients, by the way, I saw this over a billion dollars.
It's costing Texas taxpayers.
You know, in California, it's billions, billions.
Now, Don Lemon, formerly of fake news CNN, has been put on notice by the DOJ because apparently, according to this report on FoxNews.com, he joined anti-ICE agitators and he's been posting videos online since being fired by CNN.
And I guess he's planted himself in Minneapolis or Minnesota somewhere.
And anyway, he entered the church along with the anti-ICE agitators, telling viewers that the freedom to protest is what the First Amendment is all about.
And as Harmee Dylan said, a house of worship is not a public forum for your protest.
It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws.
Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo-journalism of disrupting a prayer service.
You're on notice.
Good luck to him, DOJ, you know, launching this civil rights investigation at this particular point.
You know, let me play, I'll give you an example.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
You know, two nights in a row on TV, I've had fights with Democrats, and I'm going to play a little bit of it, and then maybe later in the program, we'll play the arrest.
Here's an ICE agent that, you know, he said, we are here to get somebody that is threatening law.
He's telling protesters, we're here to arrest a child sex offender.
This is who you're protecting.
Listen to this.
We're here to arrest a child sex offender.
And you guys are out here honking.
Now, we're pressing.
That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender.
That's who you guys are protecting.
Insane.
It is insane.
And that's why I've been scrolling the list that nobody else in the media will scroll.
And Trump is now having to warn Minnesota officials that he may step in to end the chaos.
And he said in a truth social post that in Minnesota, the troublemakers, agitators, insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals.
The governor and mayor don't know what to do.
They have totally lost control and are currently being rendered useless if and when I am forced to act.
It will be solved quickly and effectively.
You know, even though they have no authority of the Philadelphia DA, this idiot Larry Krasner is his name, appeared alongside other local officials this week criticizing ICE and threatening to arrest ICE agents.
We will arrest you.
We will handcuff you.
And I mean, this is madness.
They're threatening to take away their licenses.
They don't have the right.
We have a constitution.
We have the supremacy clause.
Jurisdiction to enforce federal law lies and the jurisdiction lies with the federal government.
And by the way, these states that think they're going to prosecute federal agents that have to defend themselves, they're not going to get anywhere because if they're acting in the line of duty, they have no jurisdiction to do so, nor will they be allowed to do so.
It's not going to happen.
It's pretty incredible.
Even the New York Times, Don, did you see the New York Times?
This is an interesting article.
It's not that they're not abusively corrupt and biased.
They are.
But the New York Times, after Renee Good killing, a derisive term for white women's friends in the far right.
I'd never heard of it before.
Did you ever hear of this before?
It has the acronym Awful, Linda.
Did you ever hear of this?
I have not.
Or affluent white female urban liberal.
I don't even know what that means.
We should just call them Karens.
It was easier.
That's very mean of you.
That's very politically incorrect.
I don't even know what a Karen is.
I don't know what a Karen is.
I don't know what a furry is.
I don't know.
I can't keep up with this crap.
State Department stops issuing visas for welfare defending welfare benefiting illegals and dependent illegals.
And by the way, in the free state of Florida, this lady in Jacksonville punched a state trooper.
Ron DeSantis goes, no, we're not Minneapolis.
You're not going to get treated the same way.
An illegal from El Salvador charged with gunning down two North Carolina teens.
This is who they're dealing with every day.
There's actually a group of leftists now.
They're organizing all over these left-wing cities and states.
They're being financed.
We don't know from who in every case, but they are, you know, they're creating manuals, an anti-ICE hotline.
They're trying to tip off illegals and take away the element of surprise, putting ICE agents in jeopardy.
You have lefty TikTokers, according to the New York Post today, orchestrating groups of women to try to bait ICE agents, you know, on these dating websites.
I guess Tinder, I don't know, Hinge, all these dating websites, and then try to entice them to flirt with them, and hopefully they all send naked pictures to each other.
I mean, just as a way of entrapping them.
On Friday on TV, I had this congressman from Michigan, Sri Fanadar, on.
It went very viral because I'm sick and tired of all this crap.
And let me just give you, this is one example of my exchange with him.
I mean, I pressed him, you know, if he's ever, if ever once, he didn't stand for Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nungari's family.
Did you ever call one family member, one, a victim of violent crime?
Listen.
Did you stand to honor the president?
I did not stand because the president was just sick of the press.
I did not.
Sat on your ass and you wouldn't stand for families that lost children, a 12-year-old girl raped and murdered, and you couldn't stand for them because you were playing politics.
Is that right?
I want this audience.
Look, I would not stand for this president.
I would not stand for this president.
He was not standing for this.
You were standing for the families that lost little girls that were murdered by the illegal immigrants that you want to remain in the country.
Is that true or false?
Look, look, this president was using a tragedy.
I'm not talking about it.
Riley's death.
What about those families?
Have you ever picked up a phone?
Because there are thousands of Americans that have been murdered and raped and victims of violent crime.
Have you ever spoken to any?
Have you ever called them?
Offer your condolences.
Name one family.
Name one family.
Look, every immigrant, everyone.
Have you ever picked up a phone and called a victim's family?
Look, I talked to my constituents.
Not a hard question.
Not hard.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I picked up your phone and called them.
Have you done that one time?
Look, I talk with my constituents all the time.
My constituents have been terrorized by ICE.
Have you ever called an American family that has been a victim murdered, raped, tortured by an illegal immigrant?
Yes or no, Congressman.
I have met people.
I am sure I have met people.
I'll take that as a no.
I'll play more of that coming up.
I grilled this guy.
This guy voted against a bill mandating the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes.
I mean, this is how mad the left has gotten out of control.
Anyway, we'll get to that coming up.
800 9.1 Sean is a number.
We have the latest out of Iran.
We have the late, oh man, the Greenland debate.
We got great economic news and much more coming up.
800 941 Sean is a number.
We're going to get back to this issue of ICE throughout the program today.
Large protesters today, by the way, gathered inside a target in West St. Paul this morning singing anti-ICE songs in an effort to get target officials to condemn ICE, you know, chanting abolish ICE.
That's now their new mantra.
Abolish ICE.
That's now the Democrats' new mantra.
If they want to take that all the way, just go good luck with that.
I don't think it's going to end very well for them.
I did not know this to be true.
Did you know as if we have this battle over Greenland, Linda?
How much do you know about Greenland?
Do you know a lot about Greenland?
I do know.
I love you know a lot about you know did you know that uh Greenland um I had not known this before the prime minister last year in August issued a long-awaited apology to the women of Greenland and their families affected by what What she called systematic discrimination.
NATO's Greenland Gambit 00:05:41
During the 60s and 70s, thousands of women in Greenland as young as 12 were fitted with contraception devices, IUDs in most cases.
And, well, we can't change what's happened, said the prime minister of Denmark, but we can take responsibility on behalf of Denmark.
I want to say I'm sorry.
Acknowledging the victims that experienced both physical and psychological harm, the scale of the birth control program first brought to light only a couple of years ago, but it was like institutionalized.
Now, we had heard anecdotally that if you're from Greenland and you go to Denmark, they discriminate against you.
They don't even like you.
And so this issue, I don't care what NATO says.
I don't care.
NATO, unfortunately, the president is not saying it as overtly.
He's mentioning it.
NATO is, in many ways, it has become weak and ineffective.
And the only way NATO can be successful is if the United States is involved with NATO and form for all the right reasons.
But Europe, you know, they have allowed unfettered immigration without insisting on assimilation.
And that's now resulted in even Great Britain as 80, 85 Sharia courts in Great Britain.
Now, Sharia is the antithesis of, for example, our constitution.
Doesn't mean people can't practice religion, but the implementation of Sharia or living separate and apart in a country that you go to, you know, it's like you have your own country within a country.
It's insane.
Anyway, so the president now is looking at NATO as being weak and effective.
I don't think Vladimir Putin fears NATO, but for the United States.
And President Trump had to force these NATO nations to step up and start paying their fair share for national defense because they're paying next to nothing.
And before him, they paid nothing and next to nothing.
And President Trump announced Saturday that he's going to put a 10% tariff on several European allies unless Denmark agrees to allow America to use Greenland, which would be in defense of all NATO nations, and it would benefit the people of Greenland.
And now the European Union's response is to freeze a trade deal with the U.S., and they're threatening to use its trade bazooka policies.
Good luck fighting Donald Trump.
And there is a lot of strategic reasons, and the president has been very clear about them.
The idea that we need it for strategic defense.
That's all there is to it.
And that's NATO strategic defense.
If they fear, for example, Russia and Putin, and look what's happened with Ukraine, and they barely want to up their defense spending, and they have become weak and woke.
And I'm telling you, it's bad.
But Greenland has a very sparse population, 56,000 residents living in small coastal towns.
The vast interior is largely uninhabited.
Greenland is roughly one person for every 1,000 soccer fields, if you want an analogy.
Very sparse population.
And anyway, 80% of the island is covered in an ice sheet.
And despite the small population, they occupy a landmass comparable to many global powers.
And, you know, it is nearly the size of Alaska and Texas combined, if you want a comparison.
Now, Greenland's location off Canada's northeastern coast puts it right in the heart of Arctic defense planning and Europe defense.
And the U.S. has maintained a military outpost since 1953 and now operated by the U.S. Space Force.
But Russia also maintains several military installations in the region.
And China has sought greater access since declaring itself a near Arctic state in 2018.
So there's a battle over Greenland.
There's one other thing.
I mean, it is rich in rare earth minerals, and those rare earth minerals are at the center, heart and center right now of modern economies and militaries, and they allow electronics to be smaller and more powerful and more efficient.
And their importance is even more pronounced in terms of the necessity for national security and defense, where rare earths are used in missile guidance, radars, sonars, satellites, advanced aircraft.
Now, this, by the way, has been an ongoing battle in this country for a long period of time.
If you look at the world's largest rare earth deposits, they're found in China, Vietnam, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Greenland, and the United States.
But China dominates the supply chain with about 60% of global mining.
And that was part of the deal that the president made with China.
Ted Cruz has even pointed out a year ago as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.
I chaired a hearing on the benefits of the U.S. acquiring Greenland.
U.S. Manufacturing Rises in December 00:04:14
Now, a lot of people just taking Donald Trump, and they don't ⁇ you'd think after this long period of time of Trump being 10 years on the world stage, 11 years on the world stage, you might learn a thing or two about Trump.
Everything with Donald Trump is a negotiation.
He's already talked about giving everyone in Greenland $100,000, which would make them rich because many of the people in Greenland are poor because they've been treated so horribly by the people in Denmark.
The EU now, this is going to be their tough stand.
It's just a bad joke.
By the way, I got to give U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz credit.
They have just reduced the entire UN budget a whopping $570 million and got rid of nearly 3,000 ridiculous jobs.
Their history of virulent anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism has been well chronicled on this program and I assume by a few others.
I have been telling you that the economy is going to change.
You know, we have the Atlanta Fed now predicting 5.1% fourth quarter of last year GDP growth.
If you want to go back to real GDP growth since Donald Trump took over, remember, it was in the 1% range, and it was like 0% under Joe Biden.
And we were close to two quarters of negative growth, which would have been a recession.
The third quarter GDP because of Trump policies, 4.3%.
Fourth quarter projections now 5.1%.
You want a fantastic chart.
The biggest after-inflation income gain in the last 20 years.
Rising tide lifts all boats.
That would be the net change in household income level under Donald J. Trump since he's been in office.
Yeah, from January 25 to November of 2025, it jumped from a whopping $4,356.
I mean, which is, you know, that makes up for a lot of lowest gas prices, lowest inflation we've seen.
We see interest rates coming down.
You have, you know, trillions in committed monies for manufacturing.
You have the largest tax cuts in history.
Rising wages outpacing inflation in 2025.
New home sales with the drop in Sale of pre-existing homes with the drop in interest rates now.
Art Laffer says the last three quarters under Donald Trump have shown incredible economic growth.
One of the smartest economists out there, you know, pointing out real average hourly wages up a whopping 1.1% compared with a year earlier.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, real estate sector now is seeing improvement.
Existing home sales up 5.1% in December, largest monthly gain ever.
We have the smallest trade deficit that we've had.
Morgan Stanley analyst forecasting now strong economic growth, lower inflation for 2026, told you all these people, whoa, affordability.
Let's see where the economy is when voters go for midterm elections.
December retail monitor data saw a surge in growth as consumers continued prioritizing holiday spending.
December sales figures were 4.2% higher than a year earlier.
U.S. manufacturing production rose in December.
That's just the beginning because with 100% depreciation for manufacturing, that means that all of those trillions that the president secured for semiconductors and for pharmaceuticals and rare earths and automobile manufacturing, that's all going to get online because they get to deduct it almost immediately.
We will get to the showdown.
Look, if these Iranian mullahs want to be stupid, I'm okay with them being stupid because Iran is now threatening to resume protester executions.
Trump's Word Matters 00:02:54
Go ahead, make Donald Trump's day.
If you want to underestimate Donald Trump and his word, you have at it.
Because I'm telling you right now, he's not going to allow the murder.
He said, help will be on the way.
Then they stopped.
And then we were told that they were backdooring.
Oh, no, we don't mean what we say publicly.
I thought the funniest thing that happened in Iran this weekend, and we'll get into more of this coming up at the top of the next hour and later in the show, multiple Iranian state TV channels were hacked, and the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, you know, clips of him, you know, went out instead on Iranian state-run television.
I thought that was hilarious.
And, you know, there is now a concerted effort.
The U.S. Navy's Abraham Lincoln aircraft carriers headed towards Iran.
Iran is accused of killing anywhere from 20 to 30,000 people.
If they start these executions that they said they stopped, and Donald Trump, I'm sure that CIA Director Ratcliffe will find out.
If that happens, I bet all bets are off.
And I wouldn't be surprised if something happens this week.
And by the way, this will have a huge rippling effect with Beijing and Moscow.
Because they've always wanted, you know, remember, it was Russian operatives that helped depose the Shah and bring in the Iranian and usher in the Iranian Revolution in 1979 with the Ayatollah Khomeini.
So we'll watch that.
General Keene warning Iran's leadership.
You better take Trump at his word.
All his military assets are now in the area moving into its proper formation.
We'll see what happens.
The president will head to Davos this weekend as the World Economic Forum invites the Iranian Foreign Minister as well.
That ought to be pleasant.
Good luck with that person if they run into President Trump.
I'm sure he'll give him an earful.
What else do we have happening?
There's so much going on.
By the way, the CIA Director John Ratcliffe has met with Venezuela's acting president, demands she end support for Trende Aragua.
Good.
I like that.
I think we need to do that too.
There's so much happening in the news.
I don't even know how we keep up with all of this.
You know, the fake news media.
Do you think maybe we'll should I play this entire exchange with this congressman later in the program, Linda?
Pissed Off And Viral 00:01:00
I mean, it went totally, completely viral on Friday.
And you even like wrote me A. Like there was a record for you.
Yeah, I can't stand that guy.
So you did a great job.
What's what I score?
I mean, you know, A is like, you know, 138.
So nice job.
That's it, 138.
That's all?
Yeah, you know, you have to keep them for another segment and really bash them to get to 150.
Maybe we'll let the audience vote on it.
We'll put scores.
But it did go viral.
And it's, you know, why?
Because I'm really, it's not contrived.
I am pissed.
I am pissed that they're putting the lives of these law enforcement in jeopardy.
I am pissed off that they are fanning the flames of unrest.
I am pissed off that they don't appreciate all the murderers and rapists and child molesters that have been arrested thanks to these guys.
They have no appreciation for law enforcement.
