America’s Enemies: Foreign and Domestic (Ep. 2473)

27:46Shawn Farash:I would say maybe we don't want to go down that road again. But let's roll with this one here. There's a story on the postmillennialist Michigan driver who drove his SUV into a synagogue had a brother who is a commander of Hezbollah, right? The terrorist extremist group out of Lebanon that is backed by, who are they backed by? Are they backed by Israel? No. are they backed by Russia? Russia, Russia, Russia? No. Are they backed by, it's Iran. Yeah, that's right. They're backed by the Iranians. The radical Islamic regime. That's who they're backed by. That's right. Of course, so you have a driver who's got a, I guess a Middle Eastern name, Ahmed or some sort of thing like that.

28:44Shawn Farash:Driving his vehicle into a synagogue. Looking to hurt people, without a doubt, looking to hurt people. His brother is a commander in the Hezbollah Iranian-backed terror proxy group in the Middle East. And he got people saying, well, we don't know the motive. Okay. It was just a mostly peaceful car accident. Mostly peaceful. Actually, nobody died in this incident, which is good. thank god but that motive unclear motive unclear well you may not be able to determine a motive but i i i think i can the brothers in hezbollah the guy is upset about israel's airstrikes and apparently thought trying to kill people in michigan was going to solve the problem you have a very specific type very very specific type of people all right but here's the best part okay because i have a i say this all the time the media is not your friend again enemies foreign and domestic the mainstream media here they're your domestic enemies and i'm not encouraging violence for anybody he wants to do violence he wants to be no i'm not a violent guy i don't want there to be violence but i do want to bring awareness to what's going on here the media domestically is making it look like actual domestic terrorists are nice people and they've done this before right remember the washington post austere religious scholar abu bakar al baghdad he passes away dies look at this washington post abu bakar al baghdad or steer religious scholar at helm of islamic state dies at 48 you can't make this up here you go washington post Kamini as a man with an easy smile and the love of poetry.

30:37Shawn Farash:I forgot about this one. That was a good one. Yeah, he's got an easy smile. You know, he's just your friend you'd go on to have a beer with. And he loves poetry. To be or not to be. I got along well with William Shakespeare. A tremendous guy. I called him Bill. He was a tremendous person. You know, to leave your head off or to not leave your head on, right? We'll see what happens. It's unbelievable. Also got along well with Dr. Seuss. Do you know Dr. Seuss? He's a tremendous person. I said to him, sir, we will not eat green eggs and ham, sir. We will not eat them, Lindsey Graham. We will not eat them in South Carolina or with the virus that came from China.

31:18We will not eat them with Mitch McConnell or the North American land whale known as Rosie O'Donnell.

31:25Shawn Farash:We will not eat green eggs and ham. We will not eat them, Lindsey Graham. I got along well with a lot of these people. I love poetry too. The difference between me and Kemeny is I'm still here and he's not. He died like a dog. But the mainstream media, this driver, this terrorist, whatever you want to call him in Michigan. Check out how the New York Times referred to him. I can't read it with a straight face. I can't read it. New York Times describes the suspected Michigan terrorist he's just a quiet restaurant worker no big deal yeah he's just the kind of guy he'll bring out your steak he's cleaning your table he's pouring your drink he's just a restaurant worker he's just like you and me he's just a normal guy nothing to see here brothers in the you know as a commander for Hezbollah terrorist organization no worries stop picking on the guy these people they're out of their minds and I feel like now they kind of show it.

32:32Shawn Farash:Dan says the show your ass theory and I've taken that a step further. It said when they show us their asses, it's dirty and gross and unwiped and people are like, that's not cool. Like, don't talk like that. I'm like, I'm poking fun at them, okay? But this is where we are with the mainstream media. You saw that from the Washington Post with austere religious scholar. You saw the way they talked about Kamini. Oh, he had a nice smile. You see the way they're talking about this guy who tried to kill people in a synagogue in Michigan. I mean, he didn't know that there was nobody there, that he wasn't going to be able to actually hurt anybody.

33:08Shawn Farash:Just a quiet restaurant worker. Kind of reminds me of what, remember, 2020? Fiery, but mostly peaceful. As the auto zone behind the guy was like completely engulfed in flames. Here's another good one, by the way. This is from over the summer. One of my all-time favorites from the mainstream media. Remember when Los Angeles was on fire, right? And there was like all the Antifa riots in the street. People were throwing things at ICE vehicles. The National Guard was deployed and riots were declared and everything. And the media was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not a riot. It's not a riot. It's a protest.

33:48Shawn Farash:It's mostly peaceful. And then there was this gem from a local ABC affiliate who described the activity in the street. It's just a bunch of people having fun. Let's roll that one. This is a this is one of my all time favorites. Could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and and demonstrators.

34:20Shawn Farash:I have nothing to say. It's just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. All right. Let's take it step by step here. So you don't want to deploy law enforcement because it's just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Okay. So a bunch of people having fun is not a reason to call law enforcement. You're right. But can I ask how the cars started burning in the first place. Who? Did the cars get together? Because these cars are getting smart these days. You have Tesla could like drive themselves, these Waymos and whatever, right? Did the cars like organize before that and be like, yo, you know what would be really cool?

35:10Shawn Farash:Let's light ourselves on fire, right? Like let's just, people will really love to come watch us burn. Did the cars meet and decide to do this consciously? no who lit the cars on fire guy on abc who did it someone answer that question for me if it's just a bunch of people having fun watching like like they're at a bonfire it's like you're at your friend's house there's a a big bonfire and you're having fun you're throwing stuff in there whatever you know i turned fire green once did you know that disclaimer like don't try this at home even though I always do it. If you take Roach Killer, it's a boric acid, the boric acid base, like the powder, an antifreeze, and you mix it together.

35:54Shawn Farash:I'm not encouraging anybody to do this, but I'm telling you this is what happens. You mix it together and you throw it in a fire, it turns green. Ask me how I know that because I did that. Actually, one of the first times I met my wife, I flew down to Florida and I was like, Brennan, I'm going to turn your fire green when we're in your backyard she's like what are you talking about so we got to go to home depot i got to get boric acid roach killer i got to get some antifreeze and we'll do it and it was really cool it like it was like um you ever see game of thrones where at the uh the wildfire it was like that really cool i'm a little bit of a pyromaniac just a little bit it's fine i've never gotten burned well i've gotten burned but i've never gotten burned severely anyway a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn that's the way the mainstream media characterized what you saw on your screen It was a riot.

36:39Shawn Farash:It was terrorism. It was destruction. It was not peaceful. Maybe it was fun. It was probably a little fun, you know, for those guys in the moment. But they're saying don't deploy law enforcement because something bad may happen to the people who lit the cars on fire. Good. Put them in jail. A bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Late night TV, by the way, the mainstream media, as we said, enemies foreign and domestic. They are a domestic enemy propagandizing the American people on behalf of our foreign enemies. Of course, the late night TV hosts, hey, they don't want anything. They don't want anything to do with Operation Epic Fury because Donald Trump did it.

37:25Shawn Farash:If Joe Biden meandered his way into Iran, right? Hey, look here, folks. We're going to go to war in Iran. And we're going to, anyway. If Joe Biden did it, they'd be saying, look at him. He's such a decisive president. He's taking action against the Iranian regime. Stunning and brave. 94 % of on-air time following Operation Epic Fury are these late night hosts mocking the United States. Okay, you could agree with the war. You could disagree with the war. That's fine. We live in a country that abides by the First Amendment. I love the First Amendment, okay? Free speech. Congress shall make no law that abridges that.

38:13Shawn Farash:I love it. Say what you want. Have your opinions. It's no problem, okay? But can we get back to at least this mindset, right? The September 12th, 2001 mindset, right? The day after 9-11, where we may not know, we may not agree on what the next steps are going to be. We may not agree on what the best path forward is going to be. But can we please agree that we love our country? Can we please put down the politics for just a second and go the route of like Toby Keith and be like, let's put a boot in their ass, right? And just show them who's boss. Like, is it too much to ask? Is it? And apparently it is.

39:05Shawn Farash:And this is why nobody watches these late night shows. Colbert is about to go. Kimmel was crying after the whole Charlie Kirk fiasco, right? Where he attempted to blame conservatives for it, which was out of control. Can we at least get to a point, please, where like. We just agree that we still live in the greatest country in the world. I feel like that question, if you asked a room full of people in, let's say, California or New York, not to say that there's no support in those places because there's plenty of support there. I came from New York. I know there's a lot of support there. where if you go like a college campus, like America's the greatest country in the world.

39:50Shawn Farash:America's the greatest. And they'd be like, well, no, it's not. No, no, no, no, it's not. It's not the greatest country. Really? Where's better? Why don't you live there? Where is a better country? And why don't you live there if this place is so bad? This goes to a larger theme, by the way, where lies tend to spread faster than the truth. This gets into the whole online situation that we were talking about before. why a lot of people decided they didn't want to, a lot of people online decide they're going to take up this mantle of everything that Israel does is bad and everything that the United States does, if they're doing it with Israel, is also bad.

40:29Shawn Farash:And then they come up with this bizarre thing that we're owned by that country, and it's just crazy, absolutely crazy. Lies spread faster than the truth. you look at a guy like a nick fuentes for example okay i hate giving him air time hate talking about him but you got to point this out because there's a lot of people what is it 45 000 people watching thank you so much for being here at 10 42 eastern time on a monday morning i appreciate you guys all given given us your time i appreciate your time okay these people don't appreciate your time these online shock jocks that's all they're doing a lot of people tune into these people a lot of folks will tune into a guy like a nick fuentes or whatever and they're not doing it to get enlightened they're not doing it to get informed like why do i listen to the dan bongino show because i know i'm getting information that has been vetted that has been researched you know he has the bongino rule he doesn't want to be first he wants to be right i respect that there's not a lot of people who are like that anymore.

41:40Shawn Farash:There are some. I try to do it as well. Okay, with what we do on LFA TV, but there's not a lot of people who are like that. They'll hear something and they'll run. And then it gets even worse than that. Then there's just folks that are making things up like that story about Erica Kirk, right? They're like, Erica Kirk was recruiting girls for Epstein. It wasn't her. It was somebody else. And that's spread all over the internet. Look again, if you have issues with how she's handled turning point, whatever, voice your opinion, but stop making things up. If you, if you really have all these great, you know, ironclad bulletproof arguments, then why do you have to lie all the time?

42:21Shawn Farash:Well, it's because it's, I call it shock jock culture. It's like Howard Stern. A lot of people would tune into Howard Stern, not because they were being informed or enlightened. It's morning radio. Generally, you don't get informed or enlightened on morning radio anyway, but they were just, they were waiting for what crazy thing he was going to say next. And that's what a lot of these people are doing now online. You're being entertained and that's fine. If you're looking for entertainment, that's fine. But the craziest part, like in the example of Fuentes, this is a guy whose followers will go out there and accuse people of covering for pedophiles and, you know, oh, you don't want to hold anybody accountable and all of this stuff.

43:03Shawn Farash:Meanwhile, Nick himself on a live stream, his own words, said that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't actually a pedophile because 14 - and 15-year-old girls are sexually mature. He said that. I'm not making it up. It wasn't AI. He said it. That's literally somebody running cover and defending behavior that we would refer to as pedophilia. These people don't have principles. they're not standing I'm America first I want to put our country first but I talk about Israel all day long before I talk about anything going on in America it's like in Kentucky Thomas Massey I take heat from his people online too you know remember the big beautiful bill and he was raising all the concerns about the spending levels and the big beautiful bill fine but do you understand that in May of 2023 and you could look this up I'm not making it up.

44:01Shawn Farash:I don't do that. Do you understand that in May of 2023, Thomas Massey was the deciding vote in the House Rules Committee on something called, ironically, the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which suspended the debt ceiling under Joe Biden until the end of his term? Did you know that he was the deciding vote? Oh, you didn't know that he was the deciding vote? it. Yeah. The House Rules Committee voted seven six to advance that piece of legislation to a full vote in the House. He voted for it. Now, his defenders and he would tell you the same thing. He, by the way, he blocked me on social media, which is hilarious.

44:40Shawn Farash:But he would tell, well, I was told I was going to get spending cuts. Yeah, but you didn't get those cuts. So either you were played or you use that as a way to get yourself some cover with your own supporters. What principles? If there was ever a chance for you to stand on your principles and make a point, Mr. Massey in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, if there was ever a chance to do it, you could have done it. You had all of the power consolidated in the palm of your hand. You could have said, I'm not voting to suspend the debt ceiling. Do it another way. You didn't do that. Instead, you all, you know, Kevin McCarthy promised me something.

45:18Shawn Farash:Yeah, he's never lied before. and then voted for it on the floor of the House. And that added one and a half trillion dollars to the national debt. This is the spending and fiscal conservative and spending hawk known as Thomas Massey. Did you know these people don't have principles? Ro Khanna, he's another one. Him and Massey just doxed an innocent person a couple of weeks ago in the Epstein files. Right. Four people had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. They were members of a police lineup. They doxed them. Oh, they must be covering for somebody in there. It's unbelievable. And then Massey and all these guys get upset that their names are on the master list when that's exactly what their bill called for.

45:59Shawn Farash:It's just crazy, right? They expect us to be dumb. They treat us like the mainstream media treats the American people. They think we're stupid. You guys aren't stupid. That's why you're here, okay? You guys aren't stupid. Don't let them play you because they're trying to. Because they're trying to. So folks, I just want to be clear at the goal of what we're doing here. Obviously, I like to entertain. You know, I do my bits online and all that. But my primary goal, first and foremost, activism is in my DNA. All right, back in 2020, when Andrew Cuomo's boot was on our neck in New York, that was it.

46:43Shawn Farash:Okay, yeah, I was on the Tappan Zee Bridge in 2018 listening to Dan. He's talking about how he was an activist and how he ran for office and knocked on doors and grinded his way to the top. It's an inspiring story and did so with integrity. But it's the activism thing that really I've always wanted to do. I don't care if I'm the best or the top or the most views or we have the most people at our things. I just want to win. I just want to make a difference, a positive difference. That's why my wife and I were out door knocking for sheriff. Okay? And I saw so many comments online. This is the way we all have to do this.

47:24Shawn Farash:If you understand, if everybody just says, Dan and I talked about this last week, if everybody just does 10 houses each, just do your neighborhood, you know, like we probably would never lose elections ever again. Even with the crazy amounts of shenanigans that are played with the vote. My goal is to give people information, give people a little bit of motivation and I'm not asking you to do things that I'm not doing that's the difference between what you're going to get here and what you'll get somewhere else I say go out and door knock for candidates and what did we do? We went out and door knock for candidates and I just give you people oh you just did that so you could say you did it well at least I did it that's not why we did it we did it because we believe in the candidate I want to win I want to keep power out of the hands of people who want to do us harm.

48:16Shawn Farash:I want to win elections at the federal level, at the state level, at the county level, at the HOA level. I don't live in an HOA. If you do, and your HOA president is one of those crazy Karens who finds you for the weed being a little too tall, draping over the sidewalk, replace her. Do something, right? Get out and make a difference. this is how we win and that's my goal my goal is to win right now we're dealing with a situation with these democrats they've got about a four and a half point lead in the generic ballot going into the 2026 midterms my good friend chase bows he joined my show on lfa tv this morning He's a young, you guys got to look this kid up.

49:05Shawn Farash:20 years old. On Instagram, he's at political.predictions. 20 years old. Super smart. I met him at that event that I met Kenneth Barrett at too. He has a 98 % accuracy rate predicting political races. Even that special election here in Tennessee, or back in Tennessee, because I'm not in Tennessee right now. Back in Tennessee, Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. He nailed that rate. Political dot predictions. His name is Chase Bowes. The kid is unbelievably talented, unbelievably bright. He's one of us in terms of, you know, politics. But he keeps it straight and gives it to you. Just gives you the numbers, right?

49:46Shawn Farash:Straight on, whether it's good news or bad news. So we were talking about the Senate. We're talking about the House. Check him out. But the fact of the matter here is this four and a half point or so deficit that Republicans have in the generic ballot, it's not insurmountable. We can win if we focus on just that, winning. I always ask this question. You know, James Carville made it, he made a, he made a, he came up with a phrase, right? It's the, I think it was him. It's the economy, stupid, right? Well, I kind of took that and turned it on its head a little bit. I say, it's your community, stupid.

50:30Shawn Farash:do you know anybody could you like go into your phone i check your phone anyone in your in your contacts who if you ask them the question do you want to live in a safe community or an unsafe community would answer with i want to live in an unsafe community i don't know anybody who wants to live in an unsafe community not assault well if that's the case and that's really one of those 80-20, it's probably a 95-5 issue. There are 5 % of people are like, yeah, I want to live in an unsafe community because like, I get the chance to like be in a tough neighborhood and ooh, good for you. It's not good for your family.

51:10Shawn Farash:Right? It's a 95-5 issue. You understand that the Democrats, right? The Democrats are the ones that are making your communities less safe. Whether it's them at this point, advocating for illegal aliens, sex offenders and drug dealers and gang members and foreign terrorists, et cetera, to remain in your neighborhood. Or it's them leaving the Department of Homeland Security unfunded. I just flew down here. Luckily, didn't have any problems. But you're seeing this all over the place on, you know, on the media, social media, these lines because TSA agents aren't getting paid. So they're getting new jobs.

51:51Shawn Farash:And by the way, this is going to have downstream effects. When this shutdown ends, you're still going to have problems because a bunch of TSA agents took new jobs. Not that they're just going to come back. They're gone. Hundreds of them. They are leaving the Department of Homeland Security unfunded. And I think it's starting to have an impact on maybe some more folks in the center, maybe some more folks you know in the middle and especially some folks on the left it's having a bad impact on them let's go back to the schumer siesta right remember the first shutdown with the sombrero memes which were hilarious where the democrats and the left-wing media acted like they couldn't do basic math how many votes do you need to pass that legislation in the Senate.

52:40Shawn Farash:Right now you need 60. There are 53 Republicans plus John Fetterman, who, you know, sometimes votes with us, sometimes he doesn't. So you needed six more Democrats to join. Republicans were all voting in favor of passing it. The Democrats were the ones holding it back and withholding the government funding and shutting the government down back in the summer and the in the early fall of 2025 during the Schumer siesta. The same thing is happening here at the Department of Homeland Security with this funding bill. It's the Democrats that are leaving it unfunded. Republicans are all voting to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

53:19Shawn Farash:The Democrats are not doing it because ICE hurt their widow feelings. Oh, they're deporting all of our friends and all of our voters and all of these people who we imported over the last four years. Well, boo freaking who? They're not supposed to be here. Let me ask. Let's do another practical example. This is a pretty easy example. you have a house an apartment, wherever the place is that you sleep okay, whatever it might be when you go to bed at night do you just throw your front door wide open anybody who can walk in can walk in animals, people bugs, whatever it might be do you leave it open or do you lock it because I lock our door you know, there's people who are out for us too so we have to take extra precautions, especially after what happened last year.

54:10Shawn Farash:But for these people who don't want to get rid of these illegal aliens, they have no legal right to be in our country, period. No legal right. Just like somebody, if they decided to say, well, I'm not a I'm not a home invader. I'm not an intruder. I'm not a burglar. I'm just an undocumented resident of your house. No, you're not. You're not supposed to be here. You're trespassing. Get out. Nancy Pelosi will call the cops, right? If you show up to Nancy Pelosi's house, as somebody did to her husband, they would call the police because you're not legally supposed to be there and you have no legal right to be there.

54:53So the Democrats are, A, hypocrites on that one

54:56Shawn Farash:because you're not going to see them putting up any of these people in their home. But B, look at the Department of Homeland. You have an elevated terror risk in this country, right? With the rumor of sleeper cells, drones, these attacks, you've seen four radical Islamic inspired attacks since Epic Fury began. The Austin shooting, the New York City nail bomber, the situation up in Michigan and that situation in Virginia at Old Dominion University. And you have the Democrat Party saying, eh, homeland security is not important. Well, I think the tide is starting to turn there. The lines at the airport are inconveniencing people, which is the least of our problems.

55:38Shawn Farash:But there are threats in this country. There are attacks in this country. And maybe these attacks weren't planned, but they're being planned now because the Department of Homeland Security is currently not funded. But the mainstream media is actually starting now to push back on some of these Democrats, which is interesting. So we've got NBC, we've got CNN, and we've got CBS. Yes. All starting to push back on some of these Senate Democrats about the fact that Homeland Security has been unfunded for about a month. Let's start with Kristen Welker on with pencil neck. He's a pencil neck. It's an engineering miracle.

56:19Shawn Farash:That big watermelon head held up by a teeny tiny pencil neck. Do you guys know I left a voicemail on his when he was in Congress? I left him a voicemail like that. He got censured. I forgot what it was for. I think it was because he lied about the Russia stuff and the impeachment hoax. And I said, you got shifty, shifty, shifty, you got censured. But I recorded myself doing it because I didn't need him running to the mainstream media being like, Donald Trump is bullying me. Oh, my gosh. It was so. But YouTube loved that. And everywhere loved that. Let's go to Christian Welker with shifty, shif.

56:52Shawn Farash:Remember when Dan used to scream shifty, by the way? Hey, oh, shifty. Remember that? It's one of my favorites. Let's go to Christian Welker and Adam Schiff. This was on NBC over the weekend talking about the DHS funding. DHS not being funded for a month now. Just this week, we saw terror attacks in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in Norfolk, Virginia. This morning, the CEOs of the nation's major airlines and cargo carriers have written a letter to Congress calling for them to end the shutdown, talking about the importance of American security in the airways. Is it responsible for Democrats to hold up DHS funding with the threat of terror attacks looming during this conflict?

57:37Kristen, as you know, we offered vote after vote, resolution after resolution, even as recently as this week, to reopen those agencies to fund them. And the Republicans voted it down.

57:51Shawn Farash:so adam schiff is saying the republicans voted down the uh funding bill that republicans voted in favor of and interesting though that he's being pressed so if you read between the lines here you kind of read the tea leaves you say okay so the mainstream media is pressing adam schiff on why the Department of Homeland Security is currently not funded. And he's attempting to blame Republicans like none of you guys and gals in the chat and any of you folks who are listening on Apple Podcasts and Spotify all over the place and all over the world or really, you know, in our country especially. They act like you guys can't count to 60.

58:39Shawn Farash:It's insulting. It's incredibly insulting. Here we go. Let's go to CNN. and remember Spartacus, Cory Booker? He's got a slight case of atrophobia. You guys know what atrophobia is? One eye looking at you, one eye looking for you, right? Letitia James has that problem too. That was a good, that was Jason King who's in our chat. He was the first person to tell me that one. That was a good one. We call her Sasquatch, by the way. But Jake Tapper, Cory Booker, Spartacus. Remember he did that like fake filibuster over the summer and his suit was definitely too tight. One of the buttons there, you could hear it screaming from the video.

59:19It was like, oh, it looked like it was going to,

59:23Shawn Farash:like a deadly weapon. Jake Tapper pushing and pressing Cory Booker on the same DHS funding issue. Isn't it time for Democrats to reopen and refund DHS? So first of all, Democrats have tried multiple times to try to get TSA, CISA, the Coast Guard funded. Republicans have refused time and time again to fund. Yeah, they want the whole agency funded. They want the whole agency. Yeah, they want the whole agency. Do you guys admit, did you guys hear him admit it? Yeah, they want the whole agency. We don't. We don't want the whole agency funded. Yeah, he listed all the things, TSA and Coast Guard and all that.

1:00:04Shawn Farash:The only thing he didn't list was ICE. ICE is already funded primarily. Most of their funding is already locked in place through the big, beautiful bill. This is a stunt, guys. This is them trying to look like they're resisting. There he is. Look at that. Look at that suit. That button is holding on for dear life. That button. You see it dead center? If look at that. Now, if you were standing in front of him. You're going to want to get out of the way, because if that thing pops off, you could get seriously hurt. that button was like oh help me i could hear that button screaming from here his life has never been the same he did a valiant he served valiantly that button all right let's go to cbs now margaret brennan who is the uh famous famous uh i don't really care margaret jd vance remember like right after they won and she was like oh well some of these illegal aliens some of these people uh they're not bad people he says i don't really care margaret I don't want them in our country.

1:01:09Shawn Farash:Well, here's Margaret Brennan, a hack, a total hack, with Mark Warner on CBS talking about the DHS shutdown. We have airline CEOs faulting Congress for not paying TSA agents. I've got video of TSA workers on food lines because they just missed their second paycheck, half paycheck last time, full paycheck this Friday. Why can't you leaders break this deadlock? Margaret, I think we should. And what we have offered is let's pay TSA. Let's pay FEMA. Let's pay the National Guard. I'm sorry, the Coast Guard. Let's pay CISA. I'd even say let's pay Customs and Border Patrol. If we can't agree on ICE reforms, let's pay everybody else.

1:01:56Shawn Farash:Then why aren't you doing that? you could say hey i think we should do this and then it's like if you have a flat tire and be like we should change the tire well no no no we can't change the tire well you just said we should i know why'd you say we should change tire because tire is flat okay so then change the tire no we don't we don't want to do that because republicans want to what so there it is so the talking points are out now that oh well the democrats are trying to fund everything but ice not true even tapper Tapper, who's not our friend, was like, yeah, they want to fund the whole agency.

1:02:31Shawn Farash:And Booker was like, yeah, they want to fund the whole agency, meaning they don't. The Democrats don't want to fund the whole agency. It's insane. Finally, and again, and this this goes into a lot of kind of it kind of coincides with what we talked about in the beginning of the show. Right. These people who are putting America second in favor of talking about a foreign country all the time. The Democrats, obviously, over the course of the last four years or so, 2021 to 2025, prioritized illegal aliens over everybody else. OK. I mean, you gave him free food. You gave him free housing, free transportation, free health care.

1:03:12Shawn Farash:Bernie Sanders loves that health care. We will not have fifteen dollars an hour. Bernie. Crazy. I love that cranky communist sometimes. You know, he's such a, he's such a, remember the meme with him with the mittens? Where he was like, it's cold out here. I'm not used to this, even though I came from Vermont. Now, they prioritized the illegal aliens. They prioritized all these folks who, you know, are not supposed to be in this country to begin with. and now they're putting you in harm's way. Listen, I'm not going to tell you that I'm the biggest fan of TSA. And there are a lot of people who I respect in the space, content creators, hosts, et cetera, who have, I've heard them make the argument that TSA is unconstitutional.

1:04:08Shawn Farash:That's fine. We can have that discussion. but while going through TSA is a requirement to get on an airplane I would like to have that agency funded if we think it's unconstitutional we want to eventually get rid of it you could follow the process to do that the fact of the matter is the Democrats don't care that they're putting you in harm's way and they actually diverted and allocated a ton of funding during the Biden years, right, to go to DHS for illegal aliens. Here is one of my one of Dan's favorites, too, an overall great guy, Mays Moore. It's M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E on X. The man, the absolute man, a legend.

1:04:53Shawn Farash:Like, I feel like he's like the Internet watchdog. If you said something and then you changed your mind on that something right somewhere down the road, like within within a short period of time and didn't explain it. He's going to be like, well, here's you in 2021 and here's you in 2025. He does a great job. Mazemore found this clip, put this one up of Alejandro Mayorkas in during the Biden years, talking about all the funding that's going to DHS for these illegals. But the Democrats couldn't give a damn about funding DHS right now to keep you safe amid all these terror threats. Let's roll this clip.

1:05:30We are bolstering the capacity of local governments and NGOs. Last week, we announced the distribution of an additional$332 million to support communities along the southern border and in the interior of our country. We now have the shelter and services program that we in the Department of Homeland Security will control. FEMA is going to be playing a pivotal role in our shelter and services program that is poised to distribute$363 million to cities and communities in need of funding. We're grateful to Leader Schumer and Congress for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program funding in the omnibus this past December of$800 million.

1:06:17A lot of money going to the bad hombres,

1:06:21Shawn Farash:and now they're holding money back from DHS and you, whether you're left, right, center, up, down, north, south, east, west, whatever color you are, whatever planet you're from, if you're in the United States of America, you are right now a victim of this nonsense that the Democrats are putting you through. Again, enemies foreign and domestic and you may have some enemies that were once foreign that are now domestic that we have less resources funded that can possibly stop them from killing Americans thanks to the Democrats now the problem is not enough people know about that I bet you again we say deli counter politics these politics in the real world right not enough people know that the Department of Homeland Security doesn't have funding right now if you went into a supermarket i bet and went up to the deli counter you got people waiting for their boar's head okay and you ask the man the woman whoever it is right at the you know online with you hey did you uh did you did you hear the department of homeland security hasn't that funding they'd be like what no i didn't know that folks educate people educate your friends educate your family members.

1:07:44Shawn Farash:You don't have to do a hard sell. OK, you don't have to have them commit to voting for Republicans in the midterm on the spot. They just need to be armed with information, real verifiable information, facts. The Department of Homeland Security is currently not funded. People, these people in the airports are going without paychecks. That's not fair to them. And it's not fair to us that in a period of time where we're pretty damn vulnerable, but the Democrats don't seem to care and are leaving a very, very important part of our government left without the resources and funding it needs to operate.

1:08:24Shawn Farash:It's not good. Not at all. And the media up until this point where we had these little bits of pushback haven't cared at all. Could you imagine for just a second if the script was flipped and the Department of Homeland Security was not funded under Joe Biden and there was a terror threat, what the media would be doing? Five alarm fire, you know, their hair would be set ablaze. They would be crying. I'm sure Martha Raddatz would find something to cry about because she cries all the time. I'm sure you would see. I mean, and by the way, they would be right to be upset. that the Department of Homeland Security isn't funded amid a terror threat.

1:09:06Shawn Farash:They're not upset now because it hurts their friends. This is just a group of people who I just can't stand. I say we don't hate them enough. Hate's a bad word. I'm not encouraging people to be violent. But please, please be a part of the growing movement of people who are shutting these clowns off and not giving them the eyeballs that they need. The mainstream media. Speaking of the media, which we've been talking about just about this entire time, and enemies foreign and domestic. You guys ever heard of this group called Antifa? I think we've all heard of them. Now, according to, you know, Gerald Nadler, who pooped himself, I think, once or twice, it was very interesting, right?

1:09:49Shawn Farash:I mean, that little waddle that he did off the stage that one time, there's no other explanation other than something was happening that wasn't supposed to be happening on the backside of Uranus, okay? I mean, that's just, it's embarrassing. But Gerald Nadler, he called Antifa a myth. Joe Biden called it just an idea on the debate stage. Remember that? Antifa's just an idea. It's not a group. It's not an organization. It's just an idea. I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. Here's Nadler. Look at this. I mean, look at this little waddle. And he got spitting Nancy Pelosi up there.

1:10:27Shawn Farash:She can't keep her teeth in her mouth. But you look at Nadler. Look at that. Who walks like that? I have something coming out. It's not a situation you want to be in. Thankfully, I've never been in that situation. I know getting old is tough. Maybe that's what happened, but it's interesting. But Nadler, Antifa's a myth. Biden, Antifa's not real. It's an idea, not an organization. Well, nine members of the idea. This is on Breitbart. We're just convicted of providing material support to terrorists. A Texas jury. We love Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. It's a tremendous place. A Texas jury just crushed Antifa.

1:11:13Shawn Farash:The ICE facility ambush that took place in July of 2025. nine guilty verdicts the federal jury in texas returned a guilty verdict on all nine defendants all of them charged in the july 2025 attack which by the way featured an officer being shot in the neck he survived thank god he survived but i thought this was just an idea i thought this was It wasn't an organization. They only have like matching uniforms and matching signs. And, you know, they all coordinate what they're going to wear. And they all happen to show up at the same time, at the same place all the time. And there's usually some guy with a drum, which I don't understand.

1:12:01Shawn Farash:Like, I don't know what they're trying to do. If they're trying to LARP as like Revolutionary War, you know, like the Patriot, you know, where they drum and they walk in step with the beat. I'm not sure what the deal is with the drum. but they seem to be remarkably coordinated for them to not be an organization anyone else find that weird i find that weird but it's funny so nine antifa terrorists who the leader of this group distributed weapons to this group okay they were convicted on these these terrorism charges because the administration has classified antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and i think some of it has been, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the activity surrounding Antifa, the financial activity and otherwise, some of those funders and folks aligned with them around the world have been designated as FTOs, foreign terrorist organizations, which obviously now gives the Department of Justice and a lot of these prosecutors a little bit more ammunition and a little bit more standing when they go after these people.

1:13:06Shawn Farash:Nine of them have been found guilty. This is the first time ever that these Antifa terrorists have been found guilty with terror charges. And here's the Washington Post. Texas jury convicts protesters. Protesters? They shot an officer in the neck? Protesters? Oh, they charged a bunch of protesters with plotting an Antifa attack. There was an attack. They shot a guy They caused damage to a bunch of the property out there What do you mean protesters? It's like the New York Times did it too Protesters Accused of Antifa Accused of Antifa ties Accused Convicted It's in your own freaking headline It says Found guilty of support for terrorism Yes, that's terrorism.

1:14:05Shawn Farash:Waging war against law enforcement is terrorism. And I will tell you firsthand that Antifa is a bunch of terrorists. Now, before I do that, because you see this, I want to roll this clip from Tom Elliott. It's a bunch of people, mainstream media and otherwise, saying that Antifa isn't a real thing. It's a boogeyman. It's the monster under your bed. It's the monster in your closet. It's Sully from Monsters, Inc., right? He's coming out of your closet to scare you, but it's not actually real. There's no real monsters. There's a bunch of people saying it's not real. Then how did these nine people who are Antifa members get convicted?

1:14:45Shawn Farash:Let's roll this Tom Elliott clip. There's no Antifa. This is an entirely imaginary organization. There is not an Antifa. Like, I don't even know what Antifa is. There is no group. It's not even like far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited. It isn't an organization. It is, in many ways, mythology. It's not like the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers, you know, sort of defined terrorist organizations with leadership that leads violence. It's not a highly organized movement. It's a moniker. It's not a unified group like the Proud Boys are.

1:15:23Things like Antifa are things that are thought up. It's all in this guise of going after Antifa, which is nothing. There's no organization called Antifa. Nobody's a member of Antifa because it doesn't exist. They are just declaring into existence something that doesn't exist. There is no Antifa organization. So maybe that's good for social media, but it really is non-existent. They exist on the...

1:15:51Shawn Farash:There's no organization. It's not real. There's a guy, I am Antifa, getting arrested. But it's not real. Look at that. I'm Antifa. It says it on his shirt. It's not real, though. Don't worry about it. Nothing to see here. Yeah, these guys are going to like this. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem. This is a left-wing problem. This is a left-wing problem. I'm a guy with white supremacists. Antifa is an idea. Not an organization. Oh, you got it. Yeah. Yeah. They've taken the Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi mind trick, okay, to another level.

1:16:34Shawn Farash:Not only are they telling you that these aren't the droids you're looking for, they're now telling you you're not even looking for droids. You're looking for something completely. Go look for something else. Move along. By the way, Return of the Jedi was on last night on FX. I just have to say, you know, I feel bad doing this in Dan's absence, but the Ewoks are not more annoying than Jar Jar. I have to say it. I just have to say it. Jar Jar is the most annoying character. I don't like the Ewoks. And I do find it interesting that, you know, Palpatine in the Death Star is like, well, I sent a legion of my best troops and they got beaten by, you know, teddy bears throwing rocks.

1:17:12Shawn Farash:But beside the point, I did watch Return of the Jedi last night. It was always, always fun to watch that. Let me tell you a little story. I had a personal run-in with Antifa. This is real. Again, activism is in my DNA. I loved it. We did something in 2020, the loud majority did. We called it the Fifth Avenue filibuster, right? So we took a massive caravan of about 300 to 400 vehicles into New York City with the Trump flags on it in the 2020 election cycle. Trump was sick with the China virus. Think about it. It came from China. Went quick detour. You know what I found weird about the China virus?

1:17:50Shawn Farash:was interesting. The toilet paper thing, right? So there were these people that were hoarding, you know, the toilet paper. And in New York, there were some folks who were hoarding the toilet paper in the store and then selling them in the parking lot at a premium outside the store. Like, I love capitalism. It's great. But they were like, I need 48 rolls of toilet paper. I need 96 rolls of toilet paper to survive 15 days to slow the spread. And I was the only person in New York who was like, if you need 96 rolls of toilet paper to make it through two weeks, you have a much bigger problem than COVID.

1:18:28Shawn Farash:Yeah, I was just about to say, like you must be Jerry Nadler. Or you have a family of like 40 people. But anyway, so during the COVID era, 2020, Trump had COVID and we did what we call the Fifth Avenue filibuster, but we weren't calling it that online. We were saying we were gonna go do a caravan pass greatest Gracie Mansion all right um I even had the NYPD they're like intel guys fooled they called me and he said oh this is officer so-and-so with the New York Police Department I said cool name and badge number I got to make sure you are who you say you are he was like what I said you got to do that I'm not telling you anything so we verified him um and he's like what was that about I said well we're not going to Gracie Mansion so he's on the phone going well that's not what your event says online.

1:19:18Shawn Farash:I said, I know the reason why my event says we're going to Gracie Mansion online is because that's where I want the bad guys to go. He's like, wow, that's real smart. How long have you been doing this? I said a couple of weeks, but it was a dummy route. So we said we were going to Gracie Mansion and on New York City's Antifa group was posted about we're going to meet these guys because we were also doing a food drive. We wanted to bring food into a food pantry in New York City because we were like, look, Republicans aren't bad. we're feeding the people that AOC thinks don't exist but they were like well we'll help you with our food drive so Antifa in New York City on that weekend October 4th they were planning on lining the sidewalks where we were supposed to be with frozen cans of tuna fish that they were going to try and throw through our windshields it's not a joke like that was not a joke man it's not a joke it was on like in their forums we had people who were infiltrating and keeping up on it so this nypd intel guy was like okay so if you're not going to gracie mansion like where are you going i said we're going we're going to trump tower and we plan on stopping and uh you know all that so uh we fooled them with the dummy rebel antifa was very upset that morning that we were coming into the city somebody did something i don't know they weren't one of them must have got my phone number because my phone that morning was getting texts i mean i'm talking about hundreds of texts every couple of minutes to the point where I could not send a text message off my phone.

1:20:48Shawn Farash:So they were trying to screw with our communications. These people are not it's not just an idea. Ideas don't do that. People and organizations and groups do that. OK, but we got into New York City. They were waiting for us at Gracie Mansion. They were very unhappy that we didn't show up there. and so then of course I'm driving home and I do a little video driving my truck home after we had dropped a bunch of food off at a food pantry and a bunch of cases of water off at St. Patrick's Cathedral right to say hey not only are we coming in here stopping up traffic for a little bit but we're doing something good also the food pantry was in AOC's district I said well today we have done more for this district than AOC has done our entire time in Congress but on my way home I took the video out and I was like, yeah, it was a dummy route.

1:21:39Shawn Farash:You guys all went to Gracie Mansion. Sorry, we missed you. But, you know, dummies tend to fall for dummy routes. They didn't like that. So then they doxed me and I started getting death threats. Again, these are terrorists. These are not ideas. Don't do that. Groups do that. Organized groups do that. Really, really just nasty, nasty people. And I'm happy to see that precedent has now been set to start holding some of these guys accountable on terrorism charges. It's a very nice thing to see. All right. I want to leave you with some good news. Obviously, we're getting close to the end of the show today.

1:22:16Iran appears to be caving on the Strait of Hormuz.

1:22:21Shawn Farash:They said that the only ships that are not allowed through the strait at this time are U.S. and Israeli ships. U.S. and Israeli ships don't use the strait very often, according to this piece on Red State. So that is some very good news as we see it there. Hopefully the overreaction to all of this war in the Middle East with the gas prices starts to settle. I think a lot of it, honestly, is there's some manipulation involved. I think it's ridiculous. Hopefully it starts to settle as the Strait of Hormuz starts to open up. And here's some really good news. So for those of you who watched the Olympics, and I'm wearing my Islanders hat.

1:23:05I'm a big Islanders fan.

1:23:07Shawn Farash:Let's go Islanders. I'm sure I'll get some messages about that. Rangers. I had some guy in the airport actually in Nashville. I was like, oh, I didn't know there weren't any Islanders fans left. And I was like, and you are? And he goes, I'm a Rangers fan. I said, so could you remind me who won the season series this year? That's right. We swept you guys. Let's go Islanders. It's all good. um i'm a big hockey fan and i've become an even bigger hockey fan over the course of the last couple years because those seem to be the athletes that are the most connected and most relatable to what like how normal people are you kind of you see what i'm saying like they they make in terms of their salary it's uh like they're like the lowest paid of the four major sports in the country and their leanings the common sense they're proud to be american all this they They work hard.

1:23:55Shawn Farash:They grind. Like the life of a hockey player is not cushy. I remember there was this one media guy who was like, oh, it's just a white, these white guys with these cushy jobs. The dude who won the game for the U.S., Jack Hughes, he lost his teeth in the game. Like the teeth are on the ice still. Okay? But you saw the U.S. women and they beat Snow Mexico in the Olympics, right? They beat Canada in overtime. You saw the U.S. men, Team USA, Connor Hellebuck, Jack Hughes, all of them. They beat the snow Mexicans, the Canadians in in the gold medal round in the Olympics. And so now the Paralympics are going on and the United States Paralympic team beat Canada again.

1:24:39Shawn Farash:That is the triple crown in Olympic hockey. Let's go, USA. I listened to it on my way to the studio today. I will be listening to it all day today. I will not be listening to it tomorrow because I have a rule about listening to Leonard Skinner before getting on an airplane, obviously because the majority of that band died in a plane crash. We don't want to do any bad vibes, but I'm listening to it all day today. Fire up Freebird. If it was up to me, you know, they have all these people who want to kneel for the national anthem. I would make it punishable by, I wouldn't say death, but like something very inconvenient, maybe itching powder or something.

1:25:14Shawn Farash:If you kneel for the national anthem, you get like itching powder, pour it in your bed. But I would make the live version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird, our new national anthem of the country, which means you would have to stand for all 13 minutes and 47 seconds. I think that's how long it is. I might be wrong, but it's a long song. That would be the new national anthem. You don't know how good you had it for just a quick Star Spangled Banner. Anyway, thank you. John, I don't know if you're a baseball guy, but we just beat Canada on Friday in the WBC as well. So this may be unpopular. I hate the World Baseball Classic.

1:25:44I love the World Baseball Classic.

1:25:45Shawn Farash:I think we can't be friends anymore. That's it. This relationship's over. That's it. Justin, he's my mortal enemy. Now, I don't like the World Baseball Classic, but I'm rooting for Team USA. But, yeah, we beat Canada in that sport too, right? Yeah. And they also lost to the Dodgers. Canada just never wins anymore. Okay? Hey, if you're from Canada, just understand. On my show on LFA TV, we have some Canadians. They're nice, but we call them 51s because 51st state. If you're a 51, understand. You would win if you were a part of our country. But I'm kind of getting a little cold feet here. bringing in this nation full of a lot of liberals and Frenchies.

1:26:25Shawn Farash:You know, it's like maybe we'll do territory status where like your senators and all that, they don't count or anything like that. Well, like kind of like what Puerto Rico does. Anyway, USA, love it. Congratulations to the U.S. hockey team and the Paralympics and the U.S. baseball team, World Baseball Classic. I hope they win that tournament. And the sooner that tournament is over, the better, at least for me, I don't like it. I want my regular season to start. go Texas Rangers. Anyway, I want to say thank you to the entire team here for making this possible. I am back here tomorrow. Dan is back on Wednesday.
