Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. All right, news roundup and information overload. Our toll-free here is our number. It is 800-941-SHAWN. If you want to be a part of the program, well, we are watching the lunatic left.
They really should be apologizing to the country for creating a vulnerability that was so preventable at our southern border. Don't apologize for lying about Joe's cognitive state. Now, Donald Trump and the country now and now, now we're stuck, you know, cleaning up the absolute mess that they have left us.
And the only thing they've got left is their lawfare. And they're using that. And what they can't get done electorally at the ballot box, what they can't get done legislatively, they are trying to advance their cause and their radicalism by going to judge shopping and going to activist judges, you know, to at least delay and slow down the mandate that Donald Trump had on November 5th of last year. And it's pretty spectacular.
And you would think that maybe, maybe, just maybe, they would want to learn a little something, what the American people were telling them about this election. Because Donald Trump won all seven swing states. Donald Trump won the popular vote. There's been no introspection. There's been no self-reflection. There's been no change of course at all whatsoever. Only double down on dumb, dumber, and stupid things.
And, you know, culminating this weekend with this ridiculous, you know, no Kings rally. You know, what are they fighting for? The right championing the right of men to play in women's sports. They think it's a constitutional crisis. If you're if you're cutting hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse, you know, they think it's perfectly acceptable.
for people to be violent against Elon Musk and Tesla? What did he dare do? He found the waste, fraud, and abuse. He rescued our astronauts. He built the best engineered car I've ever driven. He's trying to find a cure for blindness and people with spinal cord injuries so one day they may walk again.
And his crime, you know, liking Donald Trump and supporting, you know, balancing our budget and stop robbing our kids. And his work on that effort ends up in what? You know, threats of assassination, bullets fired into his Tesla dealerships, burning Tesla cars, doxing Tesla customers, you know, firebombing their charging stations. I mean, this is the modern left.
And, you know, you just we're getting the same old, same old, same old from the same people that are completely out of touch with the American people on every big issue of our time. Here's some of the audio from the no kings rallies over the country this weekend. Then kidnapping our family members, then ignoring Supreme Court decisions, then going around Congress to go to war.
All of these fascist, unconstitutional, unlawful decisions only can be fought when we resist in the streets. We accomplish till drops of water turn to milk singly none. Hell goes down, hell goes up, hell goes up, hell goes up. Don't this administration normalize what is happening? It is not.
I mean, it's absolutely insane. Gene Hamilton is the new president of American First Legal. He took over for Stephen Miller and he was also involved in the transition early stages of the second Trump administration, is also a former Trump administration official.
What was your take as these idiots took to the streets and sidewalks everywhere, you know, protesting? You know, supposedly this got started when ICE was enforcing the law in Los Angeles. They were busy murder, arresting murderers, enforcing the law and child molesters and gang members and drug dealers and many other hardened criminals. You know, you think they get some appreciation for that, but apparently not.
Well, Sean, thanks for having me on, and you're 100% right. Look, this No Kings protest this weekend is really rich, coming from a party that selected its
Its candidate, not not by its own people, but handpicked its own candidate to be to run against Donald Trump last summer. The same party that imposed vaccine mandates on the American people, the same party that advanced to censorship of the American people for the last four years to now go and cry and say that because federal officials are enforcing federal immigration law,
That somehow, some way, this is some sign of a problem in the United States. Somehow there's authoritarianism that's on the rise. I'm sorry, but the American people at home know the truth. What's going on with these sanctuary cities especially?
is nothing less than the usurpation of federal law. Our Constitution has a supremacy clause we failed to enforce for four years. Donald Trump is now coming through. He is delivering on his campaign promises and these sanctuary officials need to get out of the way. Well, they need to, but I mean, look at what's happened to this party. It's...
I know their closing argument was Donald Trump's a racist and a fascist and a Nazi, and he's Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini all in one. And that was the culmination of nothing but years' worth of the weaponization of the Department of Justice and politicizing the FBI and our intelligence community and throwing everything they have at them
But their reaction, the Democratic Party has gone so extreme, the emergence of Jasmine Crockett, the squad and AOC and Grandpa Bernie and Elizabeth Warren. But, you know, they're out there, you know, dressed like Islamic extremists calling for the destruction of Israel, you know, from the river to the sea. We've seen it in the halls of Congress on college campuses.
Their anti-Semitic rhetoric now has gone on for, what, two straight years since October 7th of 23. You know, they they become the champion of a suspected human trafficker, gang member, illegal immigrant, Abrego Garcia.
The same people that are blocking highways and attacking law enforcement and federal buildings because ICE, as you rightly point out, which has jurisdiction because of the supremacy clause in our Constitution, they're deporting the worst of the worst criminal illegals convicted of murder and child molestation and rape and other heinous crimes. The same people that, you know, responsible for all the attacks on Tesla,
The same party obsessed with gender identity. The same party that wants, you know, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars spent abroad on DEI-ism, transgenderism, woke-ism, LGBTQ-ism. Why don't they spend their own money?
They peddled the Russia hoax, FISA warrant abuse, a false valuation of Mar-a-Lago. They take a misdemeanor case in New York and they turn it into, what, 34 felony counts using a novel legal theory. Statute of limitations had passed and they didn't care. They just hate Donald Trump and that's their focus every day.
Once again, no one could have said it like you did, Sean. Everything that you just mentioned rattled off a list of just a few of the things that the radical left has been up to over the last several years. And yet when someone comes and rises above it, like Donald Trump did, and he gets elected and he starts delivering on his promises to
to the American people, things that he openly campaigned on, things that the American people voted for and that they support by large margins. The left responds with violent protests, violent protests, not peaceful protests, violent protests with violent rhetoric.
The left only obtains its political power by preaching ever further to the left, finding a new cause to stand up and to fight for. They don't stand for anything. They don't stand for anything enduring. They don't believe in our Constitution. They don't believe in the things that made this country great. And so when you see, when your audience sees officials, state and local officials, for example, in these sanctuary jurisdictions,
saying, "Oh, this is terrible. We can't have ICE officers arresting these criminal aliens and getting them off the streets." Look, federal law in many locations throughout the INA makes clear that immigration officers have the right, and not only the right, but the authority to command the directive to go arrest, detain, and remove these individuals from our country.
Any official that you see across the country, including the candidate for mayor up in New York today who was just arrested,
who interferes or tries to assault a federal law enforcement officer is engaging in insubordination of the laws and the Constitution of the United States. Well, to me, this is simple, basic, and fundamental. I view this, and I've said this to this audience many, many times, as the most preventable national security disaster in our history.
All of this was preventable. But Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, they just flat out let them in. Nobody was vetted from over 200 countries, including countries with known terror ties. And then they flat out lied to us.
And then every other Democrat either lied to us as well or they were complicit in their silence was deafening. And they just kept saying, no, those are cheap, fake videos, just like Joe. Joe's cognitive decline, cheap, fake videos. They're not cheap and they're not fake. They're very real. And the fact that we've allowed in these known terrorists and assassination squads and murderers and rapists and other violent criminals and cartel members, gang members and drug dealers to
We now have to live with the aftermath of this. And I don't know how you possibly find, it's like a needle in a haystack, every single person that they've let in unvetted that has nefarious intentions against America. I've said it before, and I pray to God I'm wrong. And maybe, Gene, you can tell me that I'm wrong. And if you tell me I'm wrong, I'll feel better. But I don't really think I am. That it's now a matter of when.
Not a question of if, but a matter of when that we're going to see an attack on on our nation. We're going to it's going to happen. It's inevitable because they've allowed in people that I know are plotting and planning and scheming an attack on this country. And I hope to God I'm wrong. I would do nothing would make me happier than 10 years to be on the radio and say, you know what? I said that back in the day and I was wrong. It didn't happen. But I don't believe I'm wrong.
John, I wish with every fiber of my being that you were wrong, but I know that you're not. I know that you're 100% correct, and I say this speaking from years and years and years of experience with the enforcement of our federal immigration laws. There is no way, zero way,
possibility of vetting and screening aliens coming into the United States, flowing across the border the way that they were over the last four years, and ensuring that you are not letting out someone who is a spy, someone who is a terrorist, someone who is a murderer, a rapist,
a drug dealer, a cartel member. There is no way to do that. The United States government, for all of its capabilities and all of the wonderful tools at its disposal, we are not yet ready
at the level, if you remember the movie from 20 years ago or so called Minority Report, where we have precogs sitting around who know everything about what's going to happen in the future and know everything about everyone. And so instead, for the last four years, we had the Biden administration catching, releasing, catching, releasing, catching, releasing. They said that they were doing everything that they could. They said that they have things under control. They said that they had to release these people
because they didn't have any other choice. But your audience knows better, and the statistics don't lie. In the last month, the Trump administration, out of the 8,000 or so people, aliens that it detained and caught at the border, do you know how many they released? Zero. You compare and contrast that with the 60,000 that the Biden administration released into the United States in a comparable month over the last four years.
The American people know the truth. The American people know what is right and what is wrong. And it is now really rich to see these Democrat officials speak out and act as though there is something wrong about fixing the problem, the flood, the invasion that Biden facilitated and led into the United States. Well, guess what?
If it's your son, if it's your daughter, if it's your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister who gets killed or raped by an illegal alien that Biden led into this country, I can guarantee you that the first thing that's going to come on across your mind is why was this person allowed to be here to begin with?
It's so well said. Gene Hamilton is the new president of American First Legal. Took over for Stephen Miller. It's a very, very important job, an important role. And we appreciate your time. And thanks for updating us, Gene Hamilton. Thanks for having me.

It's we're almost sold out in both places. Less than 100 tickets in Clearwater at Ruth Eckerd Hall, less than 100 at the Broward Center for Performing Arts. Fox Nation will be filming that show and airing it at a future date. So at the end of this week, there's not going to be tickets left. That's what he told me.
So if you want tickets, go to Hannity dot com right now and looking forward to seeing so many. That's a week from this coming Saturday. We'll have two sold out shows and it's going to be raucous. It's going to be wild. It's going to be fun. It's going to be politically incorrect. It's not going to be PG 13. It'll be our. But Linda is not going to get the joke that that would get what would cause me a whole heap of trouble.
I'm not causing you any trouble. I'm in full support of you having a little fun considering that the entire world is on fire domestically and internationally. We have terrorists everywhere just blowing things up. So I think people could use a break.
Well, that's a little buzzkill, but yeah, I think the people need to be, I think we all need a break. That's a promotion. That is, you know, take a minute, go have some fun and laugh with your friends, you know, just for like a minute. Cause things are, it's really just tough, man. People need like an escape. You never really give me a lot of compliments cause you just like to stick it to me.
But you did compliment me on how funny I was at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards. You did. It was because you were you were yourself. You know, unfortunately. Well, I am myself on radio.
You still listen. There are certain rules and handcuffs that are put on you as a mainstream. I can't say Adam Schiff with the way I really want to say it. Is that what you're talking about? We've had a few close calls there. So, you know, don't go too crazy. There's a few Adam Schiff's that's Adam Schiff, some other shifts. It's a complete Adam Schiff show. Putting that to the side. Adam Schiff head. But I'm very clear. It's Schiff.
My point there is taken. So you see, like, you know, you have to, like, stick to a certain set of rules. But I think you guys will have some fun. You'll get to be you, you know, which is probably the guy that... I may have to add you to the mix because I do live in... I'll say it. Nobody else will say it. There, I said it. That is a very good... I think... I have to say your favorite impersonation... I want to say to all the hot chicks in Fort Lauderdale and Clearwater, I'm going to say, Hannity's coming to town. I'm going to be at both shows. You know what my favorite is. You know what it is. It's the hardest one, but you do it great.
I know my voice is kind of shot, but I'll do it if you really want. Marlon Brando. Wait, wait. You got to ask Ethan if he has the music ready. There we go. Now it's a party. I want to say to everybody at this table that I will not break the peace we have all agreed to here tonight. But my son Michael will be coming back, admittedly. And if some accident shall befall him, if anything should happen to Michael, I will hold all of you in this room accountable.
Fantastic. That's my favorite. You do it so good. I think that's your best one. My favorite by far. I love it. Most people think that Clinton is the best. A lot of people like that. That's it. I'm done. Your Levin is probably second. I think it's Marlon Brando, then Levin. And you don't like Clinton?
I mean, Clinton's good. I want to say to all the hot chicks in Clearwater, in Fort Lauderdale, Sean Hannity's coming to town. You should be happy you can't sound like a pervert. That's a compliment. Trust me. I'm giving you kudos. You're probably right. Good luck. What else do I do? I'm trying to think. I don't even remember. Well, you do rush, but, I mean, it's so hard to impersonate Rush. Oh, Rush. Sean Hannity would be nothing without me.
I wish you let me play when he dropped his mic. That was funny. No, you played it enough. No, not funny. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to play it. And Ethan, you better not touch it. I was just grabbing it. You better not touch it because I know how you all work in there. Yeah, I'm not really great at it, but a lot of people laugh. Maybe, you know, I'm hoping the people in both Clearwater and in Fort Lauderdale are drinking heavily because my jokes are funnier if you drink.
Listen, it's always a good time when there's more vodka involved. I fully support that. Yeah, we definitely need some relief. We do. And we're putting together a fun show. It's going to be a special night. You're going to be exhausted, though, two back-to-backs. Oh, my God. No, I'm not. I'm not going to be exhausted. A little bit. No, and if you're there, I'm going to make fun of coffee and talk radio and silver-palate pasta sauce.
You know who is coming? New York. One of your longtime employees, Eric Stanger, is going to be there. Oh, the Stagnator's coming. The Stagnator is coming. Wow. And for those of you who don't know, Eric Stanger has been with Sean for over 30 years. He is the OG. Oh, yeah. He's the OG. He's the guy. It's so funny. When I left Atlanta, he stayed there.
and was producing somebody else. And God rest his soul, this person passed away. And anyway, the person said at the time, and this is 1996, 29 years ago, Sean Hannity's version of radio is dead. Literally said that.
Why? I would argue that I might have proven the guy wrong. I just might argue that. That's so mean. It was so mean because Stanger said Sean would be all over this story. And the guy looked at him like with disdain and disgust that Stanger said it. And Stanger, then he went to go hang out with Tom Likas. Six minutes after the end. Thank you for tuning into the Tom Likas show.
This is where America. One of those two. Remember, we had a bit of liner for that. He's got he plays it to Sandman by Metallica. He used to have his Metallica lead in six minutes after the. Thank you for tuning in to the Tom like a show. This is a radio talk show that is not hosted by a right wing wacko. No, I am your host. I like Baldwin. Good Lord.
1-800-5800-PALM. 1-800-5800-PALM. He was a great host. And he still is. I think he's got a podcast that's still going strong. You know, I never had this feeling, this competition thing that other people have in this business. Other people's failure or success does not impact me in the sense that, you know, people do well actually on a station and that usually a rising tide lifts all boats.
That's very true. And I've just never felt this competitive thing. That's why, you know, people take shots at me. I just care less. They roll my eyes. It would be nice if people gave people a chance and lifted them up and let them pursue, you know, something as opposed to stopping them.

All right, let's get to our busy, busy telephones as we say hi to Stephen in Sacramento, the United Socialist utopia of Gavin Newsom in California. Gavin doesn't like me anymore. I'm heartbroken over it.
I am too, man. I am too, especially since I live here in the Capitol. It's, uh, it's, uh, it feels living here in the Capitol just feels like your little brother to just the Bay area and SoCal. You know what I mean? Even though you're the state Capitol, but Hey, we're the home to, uh, probably the worst governor in the nation right now, at least the most hated one of them at least. So it's a pleasure to speak to you, Sean. Absolute pleasure, man. I've been a follower of yours for a long time. Uh, thank you for correctly. Your, uh, your radio show debuted the day before nine 11. So,
So, you know, I've been on radio since 1987. It's syndicated the day before 9-11. I never mentioned the anniversary of my show. I can't. I just I just I I just feel like for me to do that is just so disrespectful to all the families. That's that's very noble of you, man. That's very noble of you. But hey, come on. Look what happened on my second day. I couldn't even get to New York City.
and I'll forever be grateful to a station in Long Island. They had like five stations. The radio stations don't help out other radio stations. And they were wiring the halls. They had five shows that they got up for five different stations. Unbelievable. Oh, man. It was like all hands on deck. They were incredible. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I bet you every news person was treated with just –
the utmost respect at that point, you know? So, um, I'm calling in cause I wanted to just kind of share my story a little bit. You know, uh, it's, it's, I live in Sacramento here and, um, I have a son, he's about to turn three next month. And, um, congratulations. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. My first and only, and he's the, he's the one thing that keeps me going, man. Cause, uh, it's, it's been, it's been, it's been rough, you know, mama and I have been separated for about six months now. And, and,
Actually, no. I'm sorry. Six months since he was about six months old, honestly. So it's been about two and a half years of us just living apart, trying to co-parent. I'm blessed that we don't do courts or child support or anything like that. We're both two adults here, so we try to do our best to just give him the best life that he deserves. So I work 40 hours a week.
And, you know, I lost my home or I lost my place to stay the day before my 36th birthday last year. And essentially I've been living in my car ever since. You know, I decided to get a car when I grabbed the new one. Why are you living in your car? Do you have a job?
I do. I work 40 hours a week. I have a solid job. I've never been jobless. I've never been without a job. You know, I bust my behind. I work hard. Can I ask you what business you're in?
I work for a garage door company here in Sacramento. I am essentially the warehouse man. I set up every all dollars. So the next day. Why can't you afford an apartment? I mean, I assume I think minimum wage out there is close to twenty dollars an hour, isn't it? It is. Yeah. But you can't just get like a basement, nice studio apartment so you can bring your bring your son there.
No, I can't afford it. I can't afford it. I mean, I'm looking at like studio apartments that, you know, start start. I mean, studios, you know, they start anywhere from about fifteen hundred bucks to anywhere from two thousand dollars a month.
And let me let me go through math with you because I want to solve your problem. You got to stop living out of a car, especially if you have a six month old or three year old kid. You got to you got to her because that's going to that's going to prevent you from being able to parent the way you need to parent. And it doesn't need to be a big place, but it needs I use the term you need to have a happy home. Right. So. All right. So now I assume you're probably paying your ex child support of some kind. Yes, I am.
Okay, so that takes away. What is your weekly or monthly income, if you don't mind me asking? I want to go through the math with you. I don't mind because, I mean, I hope my story can help at least somebody else too, you know, because it's been a struggle. But we've got to go fast only because of the constraints of time. How much do you make a month? Just shy. So I make just about $40,000 a year. So divide that by 12, that's probably what, about $20,000.
I'd probably say about $2,700 a month. Okay, and what are you giving your estranged wife? I give her about $750 a month, which I'm blessed. Okay, you can afford a $1,500 studio apartment. You can. And here's my other advice to you.
Find another job. Listen, I can call the owner of In-N-Out Burger and get you hired there tomorrow if you need to just get extra income, extra hours and on the days that maybe you're not watching your kid. But if you if you're doing garage doors, you know what? Find side jobs, too, that you can do on your own.
Because I know every time my my my garage doors needed to be fixed 40 times for crying out loud. They break all the time. It's annoying as hell. But in all seriousness, you got to you got to figure out a way. There's only two things you can do. Spend less money. It sounds like you're doing that. And then you have to bring in more money.
And if you need a down payment, we're going to put you on hold. You get an apartment. I'll help you with first month, last month rent, and we can take it from there. Oh man. Anyway. So I, I, I'd like to help you out because you really have to have a place for your son. You do. You have to, and you, you're, you're working hard. You have a willingness to work. We'll help you out.
