Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hennity Show. Toll free your numbers eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine point one, Shawn if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Washington Times reporting today
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, who came Jeffries warning that Democrats will not
Speaker 1: fund the Department of Homeland Security unless the Trump administration
Speaker 1: reinstates Biden's immigration policies. Okay, that is that is not
Speaker 1: going to happen. Democratic leaders have put out a list
Speaker 1: of ten demands for ICE reforms. If they are going
Speaker 1: to fund ICE, why would they want no mass for
Speaker 1: ICE agents, especially in light of the increase of incidents
Speaker 1: of attacks on ICE agents you know, upp a whopping
Speaker 1: what thirteen hundred percent, the same with vehicular attacks on
Speaker 1: ice that's up eighteen hundred percent, and threat level against
Speaker 1: ICE agents up eight thousand percent. Why would they ever
Speaker 1: want something like this, But that's one of their demands.
Speaker 1: They've been docked and they're going after their families. They
Speaker 1: are saying that ICE agents should constantly display their unique
Speaker 1: ID number. You can tell an ICE agent when they're coming,
Speaker 1: when they're working. I mean, it's not like people are
Speaker 1: out there, you know, dressing up as ICE agents. We
Speaker 1: haven't had any incidents. Okay, you can give in on
Speaker 1: that one. Jeffries and Schumer are arguing that federal funds
Speaker 1: should not be used to conduct immigration operations near sensitive locations. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's no such thing. There should be no such thing
Speaker 1: as a safe haven for people that don't obey our laws,
Speaker 1: respect our laws, borders and sovereignty. Then it goes on
Speaker 1: to say they want to uphold the use of forced standards. Well,
Speaker 1: they already have that in place. That's for law all
Speaker 1: law enforcement. And then they go on to say, by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not against them demanding body cams, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, most of them already have. And and
Speaker 1: they come up with ridiculous language, language like no parliamentary police.
Speaker 1: There is no parliamentary police. This is ridiculous. Now, the
Speaker 1: backstory behind all of this, and what's interesting about this
Speaker 1: is Democrats in the Senate they're talking a big game
Speaker 1: on ice behind closed doors. They are scared to death.
Speaker 1: That's the backstory. Axios even had this today. It's not
Speaker 1: about trying to enact immigration reform. They want to try
Speaker 1: to turn this into a political issue without the damage
Speaker 1: that is that they will likely incur. You know, if
Speaker 1: there's a private caucus meeting, apparently Senate Democrats discussed how
Speaker 1: to beat back GOP attempts to steer the debate over
Speaker 1: ice into one about illegal immigration. And multiple sources familiar
Speaker 1: told us about the meeting, and they are concerned that
Speaker 1: Republicans are injecting rightly so, because it's all related the
Speaker 1: Save Act, which would be voter ID You can't have
Speaker 1: illegals voting and elections. They don't want election integrity measures,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to hold sanctuary cities and states accountable. Uh,
Speaker 1: And they're making that the That is the issue that
Speaker 1: they fear. That is the pressure point that Republicans are
Speaker 1: going to use anyway. Joining us now to discuss the
Speaker 1: law as it relates to all of this, is Gene Hamilton,
Speaker 1: president of American First Legal, explaining how they are going
Speaker 1: to be helping icbpdhs uphold the law and defending them
Speaker 1: against baseless claims brought by the left and their minions.
Speaker 1: As we have pointed out many times, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of astroturfing, a lot of these these so called spontaneous
Speaker 1: protests or anything. But you have you know, these multi
Speaker 1: billionaires that are funding a lot of the organization and
Speaker 1: funding these mobs. Basically, it's rent a mob anyway. Geen Hamilton, welcome.
Speaker 2: Back, sir Jean, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1: So the Democrats have one posture publicly, but behind closed doors,
Speaker 1: all the reports are they're scared to death over the issue.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is classic on their point on
Speaker 2: their part, which is to say, they are trying to
Speaker 2: take one of the greatest strengths of President Trump and
Speaker 2: the Republican Party impermanent, into one of the biggest vulnerabilities.
Speaker 2: But they can't do it by taking on the issue
Speaker 2: head on. They can't say, well, we don't want anyone
Speaker 2: to actually get deported, we don't want open borders. Instead,
Speaker 2: what they have to do is they have to manipulate,
Speaker 2: and they have to create imagery of overreach by ICE
Speaker 2: and by the federal government. And of course that's not
Speaker 2: what ICE is doing. Ice is not overreaching. They're not
Speaker 2: doing anything other than enforcing our immigration laws. But because
Speaker 2: their ends are the destruction of this constitutional republic, their
Speaker 2: ends are the destruction of Donald Trump's administration, they are
Speaker 2: trying to use what they're doing right now on the
Speaker 2: streets to convince people that somehow, some way. This is
Speaker 2: the equivalent of you know, the modern civil rights movement,
Speaker 2: and that every American across the United States is a
Speaker 2: risk of being arrested, detained by ice, having their house
Speaker 2: broken into, all these other types of things. They're just
Speaker 2: complete and total garbage, garbage. All of it's garbage. All
Speaker 2: of it's being done for nefarious political ends, and it
Speaker 2: is not going to work, I don't think. But we
Speaker 2: all have to do a lot between them and then
Speaker 2: to stop their plans from capturing more and more Americans viewpoints.
Speaker 1: Now, there are some Democrats like David Axelrod Julian Epstein,
Speaker 1: for example, who I used to debate many years ago
Speaker 1: during the Clinton impeachment, former Chief Counsel for the House
Speaker 1: Judiciary Democrats, and he wrote, you know, an article today
Speaker 1: had showed up in the New York Post. The headline
Speaker 1: is DEM's demented ice demands, and he went through the
Speaker 1: list of of how Democrats you know, the list that
Speaker 1: I just went through, and then you know, their basic
Speaker 1: posture now is defund ice. And then he points out
Speaker 1: this other demand that they want to require judicial warrants
Speaker 1: to make an arrest, and that would saddle every federal
Speaker 1: district court with an average of six thousand or more
Speaker 1: warrant applications a year. And this if ICE kept up
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five pace, which is about seven hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people illegal immigrants detained and ultimately deported, it would
Speaker 1: be impossible. It would be a system over load the
Speaker 1: likes of which we've never had, which basically plays into
Speaker 1: the narrative anyway, which is they really want them to
Speaker 1: stay illegally in the country, and they're the party that's
Speaker 1: that's all in favor of providing voting rights. They don't
Speaker 1: want the Save Act, they don't want proof of citizenship
Speaker 1: for voting, and then all these sanctuary citizen states are
Speaker 1: providing all these benefits, taxpayer funded benefits to illegals, and
Speaker 1: it's bankrupting states like California.
Speaker 2: I couldn't set it better. Look, what these Democrats are
Speaker 2: doing is they're being.
Speaker 3: It's hard to put.
Speaker 2: Into words to describe precisely how bad what it is
Speaker 2: that they're doing here to our country. Because again Donald
Speaker 2: Trump secured the border, Donald Trump's enforcing our immigration laws.
Speaker 2: They know they can't take it on head on and
Speaker 2: say we don't want illegal aliens to be deported, so
Speaker 2: instead what they're trying to do is trying to raise
Speaker 2: all these other issues. So, oh, we don't want ICE
Speaker 2: agents to wear a mask, Oh we want them to
Speaker 2: go get judicial warrants. They do all of these other
Speaker 2: things thinking that the American people aren't going to notice that.
Speaker 2: What they're actually trying to do is to grind immigration
Speaker 2: enforcement to a halt, so they can let everyone say
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden let into the country. Joe Biden let
Speaker 2: over ten million people at least come into the country
Speaker 2: during his administration. We already have illegal aliens here before then.
Speaker 2: So instead of trying to take things head on, they lost.
Speaker 2: In the one big beautiful bill last summer, ICE was funded.
Speaker 2: They've got their staffing up, they're on the up and up.
Speaker 2: Things are looking good. They know that they're on they're losing,
Speaker 2: they're on their heels. But so what they have to
Speaker 2: do now is come up with all these ridiculous things.
Speaker 2: To your point, judicial warrants are not a thing in
Speaker 2: civil immigration enforcement. They're not real. That's not how the
Speaker 2: system has worked for decades. If they require judicial warrants,
Speaker 2: it would grind the entire system to a complete halt,
Speaker 2: which is what they want. They want to do it,
Speaker 2: but they don't want accountability for actually doing so.
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell me what American First Legal is doing
Speaker 1: to help out ice agents and enforcement agents as they
Speaker 1: do their job and try to do their job. And
Speaker 1: this is the frustrating part. I mean, they have arrested
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst, thousands of murderers and rapists
Speaker 1: and child molesters and gang members and other violent criminals.
Speaker 1: They've they've arrested them, They've reported all of them, and
Speaker 1: they you know, the thanks they get is being called
Speaker 1: Nazis and Gestapo. And if people want to have a
Speaker 1: disagreement over the two incidents in play, that's fine, and
Speaker 1: they can be as critical as they want. They can
Speaker 1: be Monday morning quarterbacks. They're not in the situation. It's
Speaker 1: very hard to judge I think from a videotape. You know,
Speaker 1: Alex Pretti, for example, is a great example. I still
Speaker 1: to this day have a lot of questions about what
Speaker 1: actually happened in that incident. I don't have as many
Speaker 1: questions in the Renee good case, considering the agent involve
Speaker 1: was hit and had internal bleeding. But they want to
Speaker 1: take these isolated incidents and they want to turn it
Speaker 1: into you know, like a mass killing, you know, and
Speaker 1: the Nazi comparison is so obnoxious on so many levels,
Speaker 1: and they have no qualms doing it, and they're all
Speaker 1: doing it, yeah, Sean.
Speaker 2: So what we're doing is we've announced that we are
Speaker 2: going to present ICE and CVP agents and officers with
Speaker 2: respect to any civil claims that they may have against
Speaker 2: people who violate their rights. Now, as a point of comparison,
Speaker 2: just briefly here, the Department of Justice just announced the
Speaker 2: arrest of somebody who was threatening ICE agents and officers today,
Speaker 2: which was great, and that is a remedy that I
Speaker 2: imagine that they will be pursuing swiftly and strongly in
Speaker 2: every instance in which they can. But ICE agents and
Speaker 2: officers don't just have the ability to or don't just
Speaker 2: deserve the protection through criminal prosecution of people who threaten them.
Speaker 2: They also have civil rights, just like any other American does.
Speaker 2: They have the right not to be defined, they have
Speaker 2: the right to not be illegally docked, they have the
Speaker 2: right not to be assaulted. They have the right to
Speaker 2: actually try to do their jobs. There's lots of federal
Speaker 2: and state laws, things at common law that are at
Speaker 2: issue here, and no one else has stepped up for
Speaker 2: these ICE and CVP agents and officers. Over the decades,
Speaker 2: this has been an ongoing, kind of progressively worse campaign
Speaker 2: that the Left has been engaged in. Of course, it's
Speaker 2: really flamed up now over the last year because of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's success and because of what the left is
Speaker 2: trying to do here. So we are going to step
Speaker 2: up and we're going to represent anybody who is an
Speaker 2: ICE or CVP agent or officer who has had their
Speaker 2: rights violated. We're happy to do it, and we look
Speaker 2: forward to what the future is going to hold.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll come right back. We'll continue
Speaker 1: more with Gene Hamilton. He is the president of American
Speaker 1: First Legal. Then we'll get to your phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine foot one, Shawn is our number. If
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, find
Speaker 1: a moment with Gene Hamilton. He's the president of American
Speaker 1: First Legal and he's helping out ICE, CBP and DHS
Speaker 1: agents in their effort to uphold the law of our country.
Speaker 1: Couldn't be necessary, but it is. Is there any remedy
Speaker 1: when somebody calls you a Nazi or Gestapo because that's slander.
Speaker 1: To me, that's smearing. PRIs merchment at the highest level.
Speaker 1: And I think you can make an argument that an
Speaker 1: ice agent is not a public figure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, it's kind of that. It's going
Speaker 2: to depend upon the context and precisely what said some
Speaker 2: of the There will be a lot of argument about
Speaker 2: ice age interopticers being public figures and the higher standard
Speaker 2: that's attendant to that when you come to defamation law analysis.
Speaker 2: But the point here that you're making, Sean is one correct,
Speaker 2: which is people don't just get to lie with malice
Speaker 2: or say you're a Nazi baby killer when there's no
Speaker 2: basis in fact for doing that, and expect that they're
Speaker 2: not going to be held accountable in some way or
Speaker 2: another because what they're not, what they're it's more than
Speaker 2: just that word. It's more than just that need. When
Speaker 2: they use that term. We all know this now. But
Speaker 2: when they use that term or they use that type
Speaker 2: of language, they're trying to dehumanize the ice agent, the
Speaker 2: CDP agent.
Speaker 1: Well, they're really doing more than that, aren't they. They're
Speaker 1: inciting the mobs to engage in behavior. If you believe
Speaker 1: somebody is a Nazi you feel justified in doing, you know,
Speaker 1: by by doing anything necessary to stop them.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, that spot on, Sean. That's exactly what
Speaker 2: they're trying to do. And they don't care about the consequences.
Speaker 2: They don't care. They know what they could lead to,
Speaker 2: and they don't care. It's evil, it's sick. It must
Speaker 2: be stopped. Look again, as you said earlier, people have
Speaker 2: every right to criticize, to express disagreement, say that they
Speaker 2: don't like immigration enforcement at all. That's totally fine. We're
Speaker 2: not talking about that. We're talking about people who are
Speaker 2: violating civil rights and civil liberties and putting a target
Speaker 2: on the backs of our law enforcement in this country,
Speaker 2: and we will not stand for it.
Speaker 1: I don't think we should have many ICE agents contact
Speaker 1: that you are ready or no.
Speaker 2: Yes, we've been getting some inquiries already and we are engaging,
Speaker 2: so stay tuned for more.
Speaker 1: All right now, people want to get in touch with
Speaker 1: you if they work for ICE, DHS, how could they
Speaker 1: get in touch with you?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Sean, thank you. It's af legal dot org. There
Speaker 2: is a contact us section and there's a form to
Speaker 2: fill out there and that's all folks need to know.
Speaker 2: So again, a f Legal dot Org and go to
Speaker 2: the contact section and you will find a form to
Speaker 2: fill out and our team will be right back in touch.
Speaker 1: Oh. The American people need to know this and it's
Speaker 1: not being highlighted enough. Of my view, and that is
Speaker 1: we have southern border apprehensions now at the lowest level
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy nineteen seventy's, it's pretty remarkable. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: appreciate you being with us, Geene Hamilton, keep up the
Speaker 1: good work, President of American First Legal. Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine point one. Shawn our number if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, all right.
Speaker 1: Our buddy Stephen A. Smith was on with Bill Maher.
Speaker 1: I think Bill Maher was actually on with Steven am
Speaker 1: I getting that right, London. I'm pretty sure it was
Speaker 1: that way. But they were doing a podcast together and
Speaker 1: both of them slamming Democrats. Now, okay, look at where
Speaker 1: the Democrats stand. Defund dismantle, nobail, reimagine the police. Now
Speaker 1: they want to defund ice, which is insane. Voted against
Speaker 1: the largest tax cut in history, voted for the largest
Speaker 1: tax increase in history. And of course they are climate alarmist,
Speaker 1: religious cultists, and that means we'd be paying twice as
Speaker 1: much for a gallon of gasoline that we're paying now
Speaker 1: under President Trump. And I can keep going on and
Speaker 1: on and on and now. They don't want simple integrity
Speaker 1: measures in spite of the overwhelming eighty plus percent of
Speaker 1: Americans and all demographics, including seventy one percent of Democrats,
Speaker 1: that want voter ID, they don't want it, and they
Speaker 1: have the likes of Tucky Schumer Jim Crow two point zero. No,
Speaker 1: it's not Jim Crow two point zero. If you want
Speaker 1: free and fair elections, it's simple. The fact that the
Speaker 1: Democrats don't want them makes me very suspicious. I can
Speaker 1: only think of, you know, nefarious intentions on their part
Speaker 1: for not wanting voter ID, signature verification, gain to custody controls,
Speaker 1: updated voter rolls, and partisan observers in every precinct in
Speaker 1: the country, watching the voting all day, the vote counting
Speaker 1: all night. Why would you be against any of that?
Speaker 1: How is that unfair to anybody? In the end, you
Speaker 1: end up with more confidence in the results and you
Speaker 1: have integrity in the process. It's just simple, basic common sense. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Democrats don't want that. They're calling it Jim Crow two
Speaker 1: point zero. Here's Steven am Bell Maher Chuck Schumer called.
Speaker 4: What Trump's trying to do with the elections, he called
Speaker 4: it Jim Crow two point zero.
Speaker 1: And what I guarded against.
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I've taken heat from the Democratic
Speaker 4: Party from time to time. You certainly have, you know,
Speaker 4: on numerous occasions. And I said, don't get trumpish, don't
Speaker 4: engage in that kind of hyperbole, because we living in
Speaker 4: the year twenty twenty six. And when you start bringing
Speaker 4: up Jim Crow two point zho, you're trying to harken
Speaker 4: back to a time that most people recognize. No, we're
Speaker 4: not living in those times right now. Of course we've
Speaker 4: got our troubles, but we're not doing don't do that
Speaker 4: because that's playing right into Trump's hands.
Speaker 3: Was I writing saying that.
Speaker 5: Yes, And you're factually right, it's this thing that he's
Speaker 5: trying to do with conceding elections that it's not primarily
Speaker 5: a racial issue. Not everything is primarily a racial issue.
Speaker 5: It has Rachel obertones, as does everything in this country.
Speaker 5: But yes, you're right, it's foolish to make it about that.
Speaker 5: And it's also foolish because Biden used that exact phrase
Speaker 5: about voting in Georgia, and then they did poland after
Speaker 5: that next election came up and even the black folks
Speaker 5: said we had no problem voting. So you know, like
Speaker 5: you say, don't engage in the kind of hyperbole that's
Speaker 5: just going to bite you in the ass.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Democrats are going to be
Speaker 1: able to defend. You know, there are people out there
Speaker 1: that are pessimistic about the midterms, and I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you it's ten months away. Does cool you jets a
Speaker 1: little bit? Just everyone needs to calm down. I know
Speaker 1: everyone gets worked up during election years, and this is
Speaker 1: the predictable type of hyperbole that you're going to get
Speaker 1: from the left, But it's not going to win them
Speaker 1: an election. Usually peace and prosperity drive elections, if I
Speaker 1: am correct. Well, let's start with the Atlanta FED. If
Speaker 1: they come out anywhere in the five percent range for
Speaker 1: fourth quarter GDP growth, that is massive. We now have
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars as we speak being infused into the economy.
Speaker 1: Because of the trillions of dollars. President Trump got in
Speaker 1: committed manufacturing dollars, and that's for semiconductor chips and pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: and automobiles and rare earths, Okay, high paying career jobs
Speaker 1: coming online for the American people. Every American that works
Speaker 1: for a living is seeing a drastic reduction in their
Speaker 1: taxes thanks to the one big, beautiful bill. Americans also
Speaker 1: that work in the service industry the heart and soul
Speaker 1: of this country, hard working men and women. No tax
Speaker 1: on tips, no tax on overtime. Seniors are benefiting from
Speaker 1: no tax on Social Security credits. Voted against that. Every
Speaker 1: American is benefiting from the lowest gas prices we've had
Speaker 1: in five years. Because every product you buy at every
Speaker 1: store you go to, you pay more when transportation costs
Speaker 1: go up. Transportation costs now are dramatically lower. Manufacturing costs
Speaker 1: are lower because energy prices are lower. Inflation is in check,
Speaker 1: interest rates are coming down. Now there's a lag period,
Speaker 1: and I would expect by the end of the second
Speaker 1: quarter into the third quarter this year, this economy is
Speaker 1: going to be humming like never before. So if peace
Speaker 1: and prosperity drive elections. On the prosperity point of view,
Speaker 1: I think that Americans is going to look at this.
Speaker 1: I don't think most Americans want defund dismantled nobel. I
Speaker 1: don't think they want defund ice. I don't think most
Speaker 1: Americans want higher taxes. I don't think Americans want to
Speaker 1: pay five dollars per gallon of gasoline. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to a busy phones eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean,
Speaker 1: if you want to join us, Mike in Texas. God
Speaker 1: bless Texas. Mike. How are you, sir, I'm great, Sean.
Speaker 3: God bless you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: God bless you, my friend. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a first time caller, but I'm a longtime listener.
Speaker 3: And Sean, I've never met anybody in my life like
Speaker 3: you that agrees with everything I stand for. So I
Speaker 3: tip my hat to you. But I want to talk
Speaker 3: a little bit about ice, and I want to talk
Speaker 3: a little bit about Minnesota in particular. My heart goes
Speaker 3: out to the vice agents and when we should be
Speaker 3: buying them lunch and dinner every time we see them out.
Speaker 3: We really should. They're up against insurmountable odds in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: But I'd like to throw a curveball in here, just
Speaker 3: I want your opinion on this. You believe these are
Speaker 3: paid protesters in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: We already know they're paid protesters. We know that billionaires
Speaker 1: are funding a lot of what you're seeing on TV.
Speaker 1: This is not an any way organic, It's just not
Speaker 1: I would I mean, you could literally rent a mob.
Speaker 3: Now we've had two deaths and those are tragic, Sean
Speaker 3: and I would never ever, ever make light of that.
Speaker 3: But somebody put those people in harm's way. Where's Osha
Speaker 3: at and all of this? Isn't that safety in the workplace?
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, in a lot of ways, I
Speaker 1: think you're correct. I mean, look, if you get into.
Speaker 3: Paying these people, whoever's paying them, they've got some accountability here.
Speaker 3: I was an employer. I owned a business, and if
Speaker 3: I had a workplace incident OSA two thousand logs to
Speaker 3: fill out. I had audits, I had investigations, and if
Speaker 3: I was your fault, I had to fix it or
Speaker 3: pay a fine.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, And I've asked the FBI
Speaker 1: Director on air Cash Betel, I've asked the Attorney General,
Speaker 1: Pam BONDI if in fact, there's an investigation into who's
Speaker 1: funding these protests that are endangering the lives of law enforcement,
Speaker 1: there is an investigation into the money they have both
Speaker 1: said so publicly. They have both said so in interviews
Speaker 1: with me. Stay tuned, is what I'd have to say
Speaker 1: to you, Mike. We appreciate you, man, God bless you.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one Sean. If you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, South Carolina, Catherine
Speaker 1: is next day, Catherine. How are you glad you call?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, as I'm also a first time caller. And
Speaker 6: here's another wrinkle on the paid protesters from the other side.
Speaker 6: So as I understand that a lot of these protesters
Speaker 6: are being paid, some of them quite well, and it's
Speaker 6: cash and small amounts that might not be put on
Speaker 6: a ten ninety nine. So are these people reporting them
Speaker 6: on their tax returns? Maybe we can get them off
Speaker 6: the streets for tax evasion like they got al capone.
Speaker 1: Oh think it's a bad idea at all. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I just think at the end of the day, if
Speaker 1: you are organizing to law enforcement in harm's way, there
Speaker 1: should be enough laws on the books because to me,
Speaker 1: by its very definition, that is obstruction. To me by definition,
Speaker 1: that is aiding in a betting and law breaking. When
Speaker 1: you have an app that goes nationwide that discloses any
Speaker 1: ice operation. You're endangering the lives of these officers by
Speaker 1: removing the element of surprise, and it's simple to me, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. If you do that, you're putting
Speaker 1: their lives in jeopardy and there should be accountability for that.
Speaker 6: But they're having some trouble getting them off the streets
Speaker 6: because they're just standing there blowing whistles. But if you
Speaker 6: could actually start getting them for something illegal, like not
Speaker 6: claiming the income they're getting on their tax returns, that
Speaker 6: might discourage someone.
Speaker 1: The problem is, by the time you know, it becomes
Speaker 1: tax season and they have to report it, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever is happening is long over. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's the best most efficient way to do it.
Speaker 6: If if they started getting people for this, people would
Speaker 6: be a little more discouraged and you could get the
Speaker 6: professional ones that make more money actually tax evasions of
Speaker 6: federal selling with jail time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think the better way is if they
Speaker 1: are obstructing justice aiding in a betting. I think that's
Speaker 1: a more logical way to go at it. I think secondarily,
Speaker 1: you know, the billionaires, they're not stupid. They will fund
Speaker 1: something innocuous and claim ignorance that the money is being
Speaker 1: spent to run a mob, and it becomes very difficult
Speaker 1: to prove in a quarter law, but beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's frustrating. Anyway, I do appreciate the call. Catherine,
Speaker 1: God bless you. Right quick break right back to our
Speaker 1: busy phones. Eight hundred and nine four one. Shawn is
Speaker 1: on number. You want to be a part of the
Speaker 1: program as we continue.
Speaker 7: The final hour roundup is next. You do not want
Speaker 7: to miss it and stay tuned for the final hour
Speaker 7: Free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: Back to our busy phones, Paul Free, It's eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Back to Texas. Mary next
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. What's up Mary? How are you glad
Speaker 1: you called?
Speaker 8: I'm fine, Thank you. I just wanted to go back
Speaker 8: to a few days ago. We're talked about the Super
Speaker 8: Bowl and I'm on with Linda. I am boycotting the
Speaker 8: Super Bowl halftime and I have not been watching the
Speaker 8: game because disrespect for our US American patriotism. They just
Speaker 8: not all the teams, not all the players. But it
Speaker 8: started with the forty nine ers years ago, and if
Speaker 8: they're if they're you know, doing that sort of flagrant halftime,
Speaker 8: it's not okay.
Speaker 1: I really don't give a flying rip about the halftime show.
Speaker 1: I care about the game. I think this year, especially
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you've you've had some of the most fascinating,
Speaker 1: some of the closest, some of the best comebacks of
Speaker 1: any football season I've seen. And it definitely is a
Speaker 1: gladiator sport. Uh. Do I think they made a horrible
Speaker 1: choice my opinion, Yeah, I wouldn't have been my choice.
Speaker 1: But you know, during the halftime, so I can promise
Speaker 1: you I will probably be cooking all of the food
Speaker 1: Linda is not capable of making, because I am a
Speaker 1: much better chef than she is.
Speaker 8: You know, I just I just disrespectful. I'm a very
Speaker 8: big ad.
Speaker 1: By the way, do you know what teams are playing
Speaker 1: this year?
Speaker 2: I do not, And I think Mary.
Speaker 1: I, then you're really not a football fan. I mean
Speaker 1: you're like Linda, Linda, have you figured out what teams are?
Speaker 9: But that's not true. It's not that she's not a
Speaker 9: football fan and that she said she's America. First, she
Speaker 9: puts the NFL in the back burner, wear a balloon.
Speaker 1: No, you're making an excuse. How do you not know?
Speaker 1: Is the season Supertrads? I'm fully aware of who's in
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. No, you were not the other day
Speaker 1: and you just got to say from Katie Oh Bolth,
Speaker 1: that's total complete Adam schift. You're full of it.
Speaker 9: No, yes, after that show and that was to day.
Speaker 9: Oh you looked it up after we do do research
Speaker 9: on this show.
Speaker 1: You know, all right, so you looked it up, but
Speaker 1: you didn't know when I asked you the first time,
Speaker 1: you had no clue who was in the super Bowl.
Speaker 9: No, and I couldn't care less. Actually I could care less.
Speaker 9: Let me rephrase that I could care a lot.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm fas fascinated by the matchup and by
Speaker 1: the game, and I happen to be a friends the NFL.
Speaker 1: Robert Craft is one of the nicest people that are
Speaker 1: running that are very pro Israel. And that's one guy.
Speaker 1: That's one guy. His team is in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch and I'm going to cheer for his
Speaker 1: team to win.
Speaker 9: You know what, if he was smart, he should start
Speaker 9: another league that was Pro America.
Speaker 1: He'd make a kill okay. I love the Florida Panthers.
Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of their their intermissions between periods.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll watch some of the highlights, and then
Speaker 1: you know, I end up doing other stuff and then
Speaker 1: go back to the game when it starts, you know,
Speaker 1: when the next period starts. How many periods in hockey
Speaker 1: do you know? And stop looking around the room, you know?
Speaker 1: Are you getting all your answers from Katie?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Hockey is the one sport I know, all right? How many?
Speaker 1: How many a little bit? How many periods in football?
Speaker 1: How many periods of there are no periods in football?
Speaker 1: There's four quarters? Oh, oh, you're welcome.
Speaker 9: How many periods in baseball except for the portal? That's
Speaker 9: no good about baseball? I know there's nine innings and
Speaker 9: that's it.
Speaker 1: You know nothing. Can you name one player in baseball today?
Speaker 9: No, not one that's a god's on his trip.
Speaker 1: Harper? My son has a Harper. And by the way,
Speaker 1: your food, your cookie is nowhere near as good as mine.
Speaker 1: We'll get to this later. You don't know anything about
Speaker 1: the NFL. You didn't even know who's playing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk. I just know they suck.
Speaker 1: That's all I need to know. Okay uh, I'm o Patriots,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. All Right, When you go grocery shopping,
Speaker 1: look for greenberry cereal. Look for silver Palapasta sauce, the
Speaker 1: official foods of the Sean Hennity Show.
