Summary
Sean highlights a violent Labor Day weekend in Chicago, citing more than 50 people shot and several killed, and criticizes city and state leaders for rejecting potential federal assistance. He argues the federal government has authority under the Supremacy Clause and points to perceived crime drops in Washington, D.C., after National Guard involvement. Local news clips recount multiple mass shootings, while guests advocate for federal help, link violence to drug cartels and sanctuary policies, and claim an opening to flip Chicago and Illinois Republican. Callers compare crime rates with other cities and pivot to broader critiques of Democratic governance, including in California.

| 1:00.4 | And, you know, at every level of government all the way up to J.B. Pritzker, you know, is, you know, |
| 1:07.2 | out there's nothing wrong. |
| 1:09.7 | And we don't want Donald Trump. The mayor, you know, is there saying that there's nothing wrong. And, and we don't want Donald Trump. |
| 1:11.8 | The mayor, you know, is, is explicitly saying it. You know, we vocally rejected President Trump's |

| 1:22.5 | was tremendously successful in every major category in our nation's capital. |
| 1:28.8 | And but to have 58 people shot, eight people killed, you would think that maybe they want |

| 1:35.5 | Even liberal Joe Scarborough was begging the mayor of Chicago. |
| 1:41.1 | Well, if you had 5,000 more cops, he asked him four separate times. We played it on the |
