Protecting Our Borders - May 30th, Hour 1
32:58 Share

This is an iHeart Podcast. Hey, Sean Hannity here. I've added another burner to my very large collection of defense products. Why? Because burner just launched their new compact launcher, the smallest, most compact launcher to date, and I'll be taking it with me everywhere I go. It's the same size as a smartphone, allowing you to conceal, carry comfortably and with confidence. It fires 400 feet per second with 41 joules per square inch of stopping power.

The size is perfect for women who want protection but can't carry a firearm. It's equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition. It's designed to incapacitate an attacker for 30 to 40 minutes. And burner is legal in all 50 states. There's no background check required. It can be shipped directly to your door. And burner is trusted by hundreds of police departments and government agencies worldwide.

Why should you listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand?

We're not boring. A lot of news is boring. And tedious. And depressing. And makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth. And help you figure out this crazy modern world. How about something about a comedic tone?

We have a winner. Yes. Listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.

To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We'll all be flying higher than a jetliner.

And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along. I think we are in the midst of generational change, and we'll see that continue to unfold. I mean, he literally sounds like someone who was broken out of the insane asylum. Like, he'd just be all over the place. This is Gestapo-like behavior, where plainclothes officers...

Wearing masks are terrorizing immigrants. Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution. Yeah, we're coming to your city.

More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.

All right. Thanks, Scott Shannon. And thanks to all of you for being with us. Write down our toll free telephone number this Friday. It's eight hundred nine four one. Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, President Trump wrapping up with Elon Musk at the White House. He's still staying on. Doge is still continuing. But Elon is not going to be able to devote as much time as he would would like to. And but he will still be overseeing so much of it.

but the guy's got a million businesses to run. And it was only supposed to originally be for 130 days. And the, the Doge team, while many members will stay intact and those policies are going to continue to be implemented across every aspect of our government with the goal of, you know, getting to $2 trillion in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption. They've gotten hundreds of billions of dollars. And, and,

It's really, it was kind of sad to me. And I'm watching Elon and I've gotten to meet him now a couple of number of times. I've met him like three or four times now. And the guy's absolutely brilliant. He's somebody that you just, you sit there and you want to listen and learn from. And he does not think like the rest of us. He's on this whole other level, this whole other plane. And it's fascinating to watch.

And you see it in his work as boring company, for example. We don't really talk about that and his ability to build tunnels and do it cheaply and get it done. I mean, you know, look at look at the Second Avenue subway system in New York. How many how many decades and billions of dollars have they wasted on that project? Remember, it was like Second Avenue subway. Yeah. Remember how much money they've been spending on that? I got to tell you something. I love that subway saves my life.

Oh, well, weren't they supposed to extend it? And they still haven't gotten it done. There's like every other. I think it took 30 some odd years. And somebody told me, although I think they recently finished LaGuardia Airport, that airport, my entire adult life was under construction. And it is pretty nice, but it's still filled with lazy people. So it doesn't matter. Yeah, well, you know, I mean, thankfully, I don't have to fly through it anymore. Thank goodness. I don't want to go near it.

I just think though, I mean, why would anybody want to do what Elon Musk was trying to do and has been, and frankly, very successful in accomplishing a lot and getting us on the right track. And if we follow through on his example, this country imagined cutting out, stop robbing from our kids and balancing our budget and eliminating government waste, fraud and abuse and corruption. I mean, just what we found with USAID alone was unbelievable.

you know, he leaves having found at least $200 billion, but every department is in the process. Remember after the one big beautiful bill, then Republicans will have to almost immediately begin the process of returning to regular order. And that means getting a budget together by October 1st, when the fiscal year begins, I hope they accomplish that. I hope they begin the process of getting that budget in balance.

because it's critical and we got to stop robbing from our kids and grandkids. I think what the president's been able to set up financially for the country is pretty phenomenal.

And it is it's transformational in so many different ways. You know, nobody gives the president credit that, you know, I know there's a lot of talk about tariffs and I would like to see more tariff deals done. And the president did point out today that China's already broken the tariff agreement that they had with the U.S.,

And he said he made a fast deal with China to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation. And because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized. China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy. It was good news. And then he said the bad news is China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, has totally violated their agreement with us. So much for being Mr. Nice Guy, he said.

It's not immediately clear what agreement was broken, but I mean, Scott Pessim, you know, was the one that broke that news after one long weekend. Now, the Chinese need access to our markets. That's not going to change. They were experiencing a lot of turmoil.

in terms of their economy. And so I do believe that will force them back to the table. It was even unrest in many cities in China as people were being laid off and they're not being paid well to begin with. But nobody gave Donald Trump credit. I mean, all the foundational pieces for the greatest economy or the golden age, as he calls it, are in place. But he doesn't nobody has nobody really ever talks about it.

We have $10 trillion in investment commitments over the next four years. And we're going to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to America. We're going to start producing semiconductor chips here in America.

We're going to have more car plants built right here in America and foreign car companies are investing in those plants. I mean, that that alone is going to create untold millions of high paying career jobs for Americans.

Now, the tariffs also took in a whopping $25 billion last month. In April and May, there were record months in terms of tariff money that was brought into our government. But you start with a basic truth, a fundamental truth that

is simple, and that is we've been ripped off, and we've allowed countries to rip us off, friend and foe alike. Now, you have two choices at that point. You continue to be ripped off and allow countries to rip you off, or you stand up for yourself and you say, this has got to stop. And I think the president's decision was the right decision. But between the $10 trillion in commitments from countries and companies...

And the rest of his economic plan, including the one big, beautiful bill that will be the largest tax cut in history that will eliminate taxes on tips and overtime and Social Security, et cetera. It is you know, it's just going to take a while to get going. Now, I do believe by the time the midterms come along, the economy is going to be humming.

Because every time conservative principles are put in place on the economy, those principles work. And for the president now to finish with, in my view, there are really five big deals that need to be done. China is one of them. India is another one. Australia, the EU and Canada slash Mexico. That'd be six countries if you're counting officially, but I'm counting Canada, Mexico together. And.

It's it's and we're and we're instilling those principles. It is, you know, it's a pretty incredible time that we're living in is very transformational. Newton, I were talking about this yesterday and he couldn't be more right. The Trump administration has issued merit based hiring guidelines for the federal government. How's that for a change of pace? What a difference an administration can make. They're creating merit based hiring guidelines.

Ending the use of race, sex, religion, data for diversity, equity, inclusion. And the Office of Personnel Management released their merit hiring plan. And it was sent Thursday to heads and acting heads of departments and agencies. I mean, why shouldn't the best qualified person get the job? Well, they weren't given the same opportunity. Not everybody in life. Life is not fair in that sense.

But what about the people that work harder in school? What about the people that do those free internships? What about the people that put the time in? I mean, in some cases, they end up getting punished for doing it. Now, the Supreme Court has backed Donald Trump on ending Joe Biden's illegal alien parole pipeline. They ruled Friday that the president can move forward with the ending the former president's parole pipeline for illegals.

While the case makes its way through an appellate court. And by the way, we're talking about the legal status of more than 530,000 illegals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, who are allowed into the U.S. via a Biden-era parole pipeline known as the CHNV program. And following the announcement to nongovernmental organizations, partially funded by Alex and George Soros' Open Society Foundation, they sued the Trump administration.

I mean, there's never ending lawsuit. I mean, what the left does and this is their tactic and strategy is what they could never run on and win on electorally and what they could never get done legislatively because the American people would never support it. They go to judge shopping and go to judicial activists at a minimum. They're just slowing down the president's progress.

So now they and the Supreme Court is limiting judges authority to block infrastructure projects over environmental concerns. Elections have consequences. There is a constitution that we get lectured about all the time. You know, the very people that said democracy is on the ballot, democracy in peril of the very people that for four years covered up Joe Biden's significant cognitive decline. This is the biggest problem.

White House presidential scandal in history that we had everybody knowing that you had an incompetent, frankly, cognitively incapacitated president. I mean, and then they were going to run him for reelection. And one guy quoted in this fake Jake Tapper book saying, yeah, we just have to, you know, roll them out every once in a while to show proof of life. I mean, fully willing to take the power of the presidency away from him.

Pretty unbelievable. Now, we did have this ruling yesterday about, you know, the battle over tariffs. And the president rebuked a trio of judges who overturned his tariff agenda. But then immediately thereafter, an appeals court reinstated the president's policy of federal appeals court.

has blocked a lower court ruling striking down the president's reciprocal tariffs at the request of the White House. And that is the right decision. That would be, you know, the power of the president. And it really is, you know, these are incredible times that we're living in. I mean, if you can believe he had a federal district judge on Wednesday say that the Trump administration's effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil may be unconstitutional.

But I'm sorry, conservative legal experts are not buying. You're not from this country. Why do you think you have constitutional rights? This guy was leading these pro-Palestine, anti-Israel activists and protests at Columbia University. An immigration judge said he could be deported. But then a U.S. district judge for New Jersey said that the order is likely to be dismissed as unconstitutionally vague. Again, judge shopping.

Judicial activism. You know, Mark Levin wrote a whole book about it, Men in Black. And one good thing I saw the Justice Department is telling the American Bar Association they're no longer going to comply with their stupid ratings for judicial nominees. They shouldn't.

And frankly, it's about time somebody stood up to the Federalist Society because they have made some awful recommendations. They say they look for originalists for the Supreme Court and other high positions on the court. And they have been wrong way too often for my liking. And there's got to be a different process to get people that have strong constitutional originalist thinking for our court system.

This Biden cover up scandal. I am I am telling you. And this was this was right on so many levels. We first pointed it out in 2019. Now, think of all the things that the Democrats and the media legacy media mob have gotten wrong. The list is staggering. And don't think it's by accident.

They covered up Joe's cognitive state. They knew better. They lied. They didn't care because they hate Trump. They didn't care that Hillary Clinton paid for the dirty Russian disinformation dossier that ended up being the basis of four FISA applications and warrants that ruined Carter Page's life and backdoored spying on Donald Trump, the candidate, the transition team and the president.

They ignored the phony valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million. Sorry, it's over a billion. Ask any realtor in Palm Beach, Florida, and they will tell you it's over a billion. Now, it sounds crazy, and it is. But go look on Zillow, the price of homes in Palm Beach. It's crazy.

They didn't care. They didn't care that Letitia James ran on a get Trump platform or Alvin Bragg ran on a get Trump platform. They didn't care about the fact the statute of limitations had run out on a misdemeanor case. And they came up with a novel legal theory to bring up those phony 34 charges against Donald Trump.

The media, all they cared about, and the same with Joe Biden and his cognitive state, was protecting Biden and hurting Trump. They didn't care about the 574 riots in the summer of 2020. They only cared about the one riot. The media has gotten so much wrong. Now, they're paying a price.

I noticed that fake Jake Tapper had the lowest ratings he's had in like 10, 15 years. And he's got more publicity than he's ever had. But meanwhile, the media got Richard Jewell wrong. They got Duke Lacrosse wrong. They got UVA wrong. They got Ferguson, Missouri wrong. Freddie Gray wrong. They get everything wrong and they never make a correction. And all the scandals involving or so-called scandals with Trump.

Because they are corrupt, they're ideological, they're liberal leftist talk show hosts, and they are not journalists like they claim. As we roll along 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program. Linda, do you agree that this Joe Biden cognitive cover-up is the greatest presidential White House scandal in our lifetime? I do.

Because what people are not really focused on, and they really need to, and we're going to get into it, we're doing a deep dive into this tonight, is what they don't understand, the president is the commander-in-chief.

And now we had the story come out today, damning new evidence. And James Comer came out. It was on in the Western Journal that the auto pen scandal, there was more activity with that auto pen in the last hundred days of the Biden administration than in his first three and a half years. The guy used to be able to sign his freaking name.

And that raises the questions about the pardons that he gave last minute, even to his family, in my view.

Hi, Tom Selleck here. In 1980, when Magnum started, that was the first time I really ever had any discretionary income. And that's when I first started buying gold. Back then, even when Reagan took office, we were still under a cloud of inflation. Well, inflation is back. So for me, it's not a question of why gold.

It's a question of who can you trust? A friend of mine recommended Goldco, and I gave him a try. And I gotta say, I wasn't sorry.

Now, we're going to do a lot on this tonight because I think it's the biggest White House presidential scandal in our history. What did they know? When did they know it? And who was really in charge? Because it wasn't Joe Biden.

I mean, this is as damning as it gets. And that is, and I saw this, I forgot who wrote this, in the Western Journal, I guess. James Comer speaking to reporters. And this auto pen scandal is the real deal. And he stated that they identified individuals effectively doing the work of the president in place of the president, signing executive orders and pardons via auto pen. What is this auto pen thing? I don't get it.

I know authors have often used it for a book. They'll do variations of their handwriting and people do. I've always felt that's disingenuous. I was given an opportunity and a book to do it. I just, I'm like, I can sign the stupid book. What's the big deal? I mean, if people are nice enough to buy it, I should be grateful that they would want my signature. And I am, by the way.

Anyway, I remember that one year, Linda, I signed about 80,000 tip sheets and then they actually inserted it as a page in the book. Yeah, you were super happy about that too. It was really fun. It took forever. One of our better memories here. It was just so, I mean, you were just so enjoying it. I did it over my two-week vacation around Christmas. I just literally...

And then people said, well, your handwriting changed. I'm like, no, my arm was dead tired. Yeah, it was a lot. I don't think anything was worse than the day you did the live signing. Not worse, but just overwhelming at the Reagan Library back in the day. That was a lot. Oh my gosh. Yeah, but it was fun. I mean, you know what? I'm grateful.

You know, somebody asked me recently, I was at the Florida Panthers game. You know, I love ice hockey. And I can't stand any New York team anymore. I'm done. I'm checked out of New York. I'm a Florida Panthers fan.

And this is their third trip to the Stanley Cup. And they're going to be playing. It's a rematch with Edmonton again this year. And that series went seven games last year. And they were up 3-0. You know how stressful that was for me? It's more stressful than doing the show and talking to you on a daily basis. That could be pretty stressful. It's pretty intense. So, and somebody said, you must not like taking selfies. I'm like,

Can I ask you a question? And he goes, sure. I said, what do you do for a living? And he tells me whatever the business he's in. I said, if your customer asked to take a picture, would you take a picture? I mean, anybody that wouldn't take a picture with somebody that's nice enough to want one, I'm like, you're insane. I wouldn't have a job unless people listen to my show or watch my TV show. I'm very grateful. I don't know why people have that attitude. You know, there are people,

You know, Frank Sinatra famously told, you know, would curse people out if they asked for an autograph or a picture. I'm like, well, why? It makes no sense to me.

um anyway Comer you know uh was on my show earlier this week but uh anyway also posted on X and revealed that there had been a massive upticks in these pardons and executive orders during Biden's last hundred days and he said there was an activity in the last hundred days of the Biden administration more than the first three and a half years and he said the four staffers that we asked to have have come to come in for

Transcribed interviews have all lawyered up. He said there's more activity in the last hundred days of the Biden administration than the first three and a half years of the Biden administration. And that means far more reaching executive orders. Now, I've been told by some of my sources that there are certain traps that have been set by the people that they that knew they were leaving to try to make the Trump people look bad.

And all I'll tell you is if some things seem to be going slower than you might like, that may be part of the reason. As a matter of fact, I can confirm it is part of the reason. That is very, very real. And one day that will come out. But we've got to ask questions here that I guess are a little bit uncomfortable for people. Like I remember the Wall Street Journal. Remember in early June of 24, they had a...

A story entitled Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping. Now, we were talking about this as early as 2019. We went out on a limb. We were widely panned, widely criticized, attacked for it. And anyway, eventually people started catching up. Wall Street Journal writes this piece in June of 2024 about Biden slipping. And the reporters buying that story were viciously attacked by Republicans

By by just speaking up and telling the truth. And then it was not long thereafter that they came up with this term cheap fake videos. And here's where the tough question is going to come in. Were the people closest to Biden? I know I'm not supposed to ask this question. Is anyone really going to try and convince me they didn't see it?

or do you believe as I do, that they saw far worse than we ever saw. That whenever Joe got in public, we got the best Joe that we were ever going to get. And it had to be far worse behind the scenes. And that's why you have this small window, what, 10 to 3 every day or 4, and how many days did they call a lid at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. in the morning, meaning you're not going to see or hear from the president again all day. You know, compare that to the speed of Trump

It's unbelievable. But does the word elder abuse seem to be appropriate here? If people knew he was that cognitively impaired and not up to the job and they still were pushing him to run when he could barely get over the finish line and finish his first term and maybe wasn't even in charge at the end. I mean, that's such a massive scandal. Unbelievable.

Core inflation has fallen to its lowest rate in four years. Well, I guess Wall Street was wrong again. The CPI, Consumer Price Index, only up 0.1% in April. The second month in a row, consumers got relief from inflation that has plagued the economy throughout the Biden years. And by the way, and it turns out prices are just up 2.1%.

Now, remember, Biden inherited 1.9 percent. Then he took it to 9 percent, 2.1 percent. Well, what is the Fed been telling us their target is? 2.0. Jerome Powell cut rates, interest rates immediately. You reach your stated goal. There's no earthly reason why you're keeping interest rates this high.

Because it's hurting the economy. It's slowing down home building. It's slowing down the sale of existing homes. What are you doing? You know, this is your favorite inflation gauge, the Fed's favorite inflation gauge, the Consumer Price Index. It's unbelievable. America's trade deficit with the rest of the world has been cut in half. This was in the Wall Street Journal. Most of the media breaking its neck looking the other way. This morning, stunning Commerce Department report on inflation.

Now plunged under Donald Trump to a four-year low, and you probably won't be hearing too much about it. But, you know, then you have, thanks to the Trump tariffs, America's trade deficit with the rest of the world has now been cut nearly in half. U.S. trade deficit for goods shrank substantially in April as new tariffs weighed on imports. Goods, good imports fell 20 percent, 276.1 billion. Exports rose 3.4 percent. Well, that's good for American workers, isn't it?

and he will get these trade deals done. I'm very confident of that. New Commerce Department numbers show that inflation rate under Trump has now dropped to the lowest level in four years. Incomes rose by a healthy 0.8% in April. We're doing a lot better already under Donald Trump. Where do we get the big, beautiful bill? Energy dominance going, the tax cuts in place, the $10 trillion in committed monies to be spent, manufacturing beginning in this country.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besson telling Fox News that he has sympathy for some members of the Senate who want more spending cuts, but the issue can't be solved in a year. They're doing their very best, but they're also working under the difficulty of reconciliation, which is hard. But it is, I would argue, the most conservative bill I've seen in my life. It's not perfect.

And I think they got to get to work right away and take their pen and start slashing as much as possible and move this country towards a balanced budget and stop robbing from our kids and save, you know, Social Security and Medicaid and and also build the next generation of weaponry. Take a lot of money.

We need to get people back to work with high paying career jobs. It's a great way to start. Volkswagen, which is Europe's largest industrial group, said that they will make, quote, a massive investment in the U.S. Why are all these countries doing this? Because of Donald Trump. Why are they doing it also? Because they want access to our markets. They want to sell you their stuff. That's the reason.

And as long as we'd sit back and allow these countries to abuse us, they'd never make these investments. Why should they? And we were stupid enough to allow it to happen. There was an interesting salon piece out. How long, how low will Democrats sink before the DNC acts? The DNC can't get their own act together. David Hogg saying that he's going to primary raise millions of dollars in primary incumbents.

By the way, Victor Davis Hanson is predicting Schumer's ouster by AOC as political pressures mount. I can see that for sure. 100%. Jasmine Crockett goes on, I guess, Jim Acosta, Fake News Acosta has a podcast. Anyway, he had on one of our favorite Democrats. We love Jasmine Crockett on this program. I'm sorry. We love AOC. We love Jasmine Crockett. We love the squad. We love Grandpa Bernie.

I mean, that's the face of the Democratic Party. Let everybody hear from them. Did you see Stephen A. Smith? You'd play them all day if you could. Last night on TV, it was pretty funny. But, you know, she thinks that actually believes that Donald Trump will throw her in jail. Nobody wants to throw her in jail. Just keep talking and let Michelle Obama keep talking to the year. She was talking about autism may have been caused by older sperm. Did you see that this week?

And then she's a woman's a woman's reproductive system is not primarily intended for bearing children reproductive system. Let's pay attention to the words we're talking about here. Well, that's what she said. Anyway, she was having a discussion about where women should go to get proper information. So many men have no idea what women go through. Right.
